Ovi kept it low-key for his 33rd birthday

NOT FUNNY

CAPITALS After serving as an honorary captain and receiving the loudest ovation at Sunday’s Redskins home opener, the ageless Alex Ovechkin turned 33 on Monday.

The Capitals captain, whose team is preparing to begin its Stanley Cup title defense after a summer of doing Cup stands and partying around the world, apparently toned things down a bit for his birthday celebration.

Ovechkin posted a photo to his Instagram account of himself holding balloons and a fruit tart.

As Ian Oland of the Capitals blog Russian Machine Never Breaks notes, Ovechkin went to dinner at the Peking Gourmet Inn in Falls Church with his wife, Nastya, and his mom, Tatyana, along with his agent, his trainer and a close friend.

He and his family are also longtime fans of the restaurant.

A group of chief executives from the greater D.C. region says deficiencies in bus service are holding back growth. The region’s bus network has valuable assets, including more than 3,800 buses and a growing system of limited-stop service and rapid bus lines, but the region hasn’t fully leveraged the network’s potential to address its transportation challenges, the Greater Washington Partnership said in a report released Tuesday. The declining performance of bus systems has turned commuters away, resulting in ridership declines. The group proposes prioritizing bus lanes, overhauling routes and implementing a more efficient payment system that reduces time at bus stops, among other tools to improve service.

THE WASHINGTON POST AND AP

MARYLAND Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan holds a commanding 22-point lead over Democratic challenger Ben Jealous in a new poll that suggests the Republican is consolidating substantial support from groups that traditionally back Democrats in the deep-blue state.

The Goucher poll found that likely voters favor Hogan over Jealous by a margin of 54 to 32 percent. Undecided voters have dwindled to just 9 percent of the electorate, the poll found, meaning Jealous must win the lion’s share of persuadable voters and bank on dramatically heightened Democratic turnout to have a shot on Election Day. In addition to Hogan securing his Republican base by large margins, the poll found he has the support of 38 percent of Maryland Democrats, who outnumber GOP voters in the state by more than 2 to 1.

Even though most voters support the issues Jealous has campaigned on — a $15 minimum wage, boosting education spending and Medicare-for-all — they trust Hogan more on education, the economy and health care, the poll found.

“They like the issues, but they haven’t connected them to

A new Goucher poll found that likely Maryland voters favor Gov. Larry Hogan, left, over Ben Jealous, right, by a margin of 54 to 32 percent.

While Hogan and the Republican Governors Association have spent more than $2 million in a sustained advertising blitz since June, Jealous launched his first television ad Monday, with a modest buy in the Baltimore market.

The Goucher poll — the latest to show Hogan with a double-digit lead in the race — was completed the previous day.

THE DISTRICT The nation’s capital could be the next home to legal sports betting under a bill introduced Tuesday.

Council member Jack Evans, D-Ward 2, proposed a bill that would let residents and visitors place wagers on sports matches, following a Supreme Court decision that cleared the way for localities to legalize the practice.

Evans says the District should act quickly to dominate a new gambling market in the region — a potential boon for city coffers.

Legislatures in neighboring Maryland — which has casinos — and Virginia — which is warming to gambling — have not yet legalized sports betting.

T he closest pl ac e for

Washingtonians to bet on games is Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races in West Virginia, about a 75-minute drive from downtown D.C. in light traffic.

“We can be first and get a lot of money or 51st and not get any,” Evans said at a council breakfast before he introduced the legislation.

In May, the Supreme Court struck down a federal law that kept most states from authorizing sports betting.

A majority of the council supports the bill. Evans says he’s drafting the legislation with the offices of Mayor Muriel Bowser and D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, both Democrats.

A failing system: Female inmates lack basic needs

74

BOP’s pregnancy programs.

“Third, not all prisons ensured that female inmates had sufficient access to feminine hygiene products.”

The bottom line: “Overall,” Horowitz said, “we concluded that BOP has not managed female inmates strategically.”

This is not a recent issue, nor one that a single political party owns.

“What’s particularly distressing is that this is not a new problem,” said Marc Mauer, executive director of The Sentencing Project. “The proportion of women in prison has more or less doubled since the mid-80s. … Both Democratic and Republican administrations have failed to put in place just regular procedures that would provide better corrections supervision and outcomes.”

The inspector general’s report will be cited by advocates, including those in Congress, to help improve conditions for incarcerated women.

“We will take this report and we will use it,” said Andrea James, who was released in 2011 after two years of federal incarceration.

After getting out, James founded of the National Council for Incarcerated and

Q+A

Not everything counts toward your high-three Q. Does a high-three include things like locality pay?

ELAINE THOMPSON (AP)

It’s easy to overlook prisoners. Their families might disown them.

Politicians ignore them. And too often, corrections officials don’t have the training or the staffing to do their job.

These problems are worse for women in prison.

Consider a report released Tuesday on the federal Bureau of Prisons’ (BOP) management of female inmates. The study by the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General reveals a system that fails to meet certain basic needs of prisoners in ways large and small.

Three main issues were identified by Inspector General Michael Horowitz: “First, we found that low staffing limits BOP’s ability to provide all eligible female inmates with trauma treatment, even though a study relied upon by BOP shows that approximately 90 percent of female inmates are affected by sexual, physical, or emotional trauma at some point in their lives.

“Second, we found that only 37 percent of sentenced pregnant inmates participated in

A new report found that low staffing limits the federal Bureau of Prisons’ “ability to provide all eligible female inmates with trauma treatment.”

Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls. She welcomed the report for the same reason she formed the organization.

“There are gender-specific needs that nobody was paying attention to,” she said, “and now they are.”

No one thinks prisoners should be coddled. But there are certain basic needs a just society provides for those it locks up. Despite agency efforts, BOP has not met some of those needs for the more than 10,000 federal female prisoners, about 7 percent of the total.

In a memorandum

responding to the report, Hugh Hurwitz, BOP’s acting director, agreed with all 10 of the inspector general’s recommendations. The recommendations included improvements involving training, staffing and management.

“In general, women are treated as an afterthought in the criminal justice system,” said Amy Fettig, deputy director of the ACLU National Prison Project. “They have needs that are unique to women.”

PROPOSED AIR FORCE GROWTH

The number of operational squadrons the Air Force says it needs to add by 2030, a 24 percent increase from 312 today to 386, to meet rapidly evolving threats from China and Russia, according to a new internal study. The proposed changes, which have not been worked into Pentagon budget plans, would require Air Force personnel levels to grow by about 40,000 service members on top of current growth projections, officials said. If approved, the addition would bring the Air Force to a size not seen since the height of the Cold War, when there were 401 operational squadrons.

A. The high-three is one of the variables, along with length of service, in calculating a retirement annuity for federal employees. It is the average salary the employee received in the highest-paid three consecutive years — actually 36 months — of employment.

Usually that is the last three years before retirement, although it doesn’t have to be.

However, not all types of compensation count toward a high-three.

According to an Office of Personnel Management spokesman: “The high-three average salary is based upon an employee’s basic rate of pay, which includes base pay and locality pay. There are some other inclusions for special populations such as criminal investigators, where premium pay on an annual basis or availability pay would also be considered included in base pay. The basic rate of pay does not typically include overtime or performance awards.”

The general rule is that if deductions for federal retirement are taken out of a form of compensation, it counts; if they aren’t, it doesn’t. Check your pay statements to see what types of compensation are being reduced for those contributions. If you are still uncertain, contact your payroll office. ERIC YODER (TWP)

Trump says he feels ‘so badly’ for Kavanaugh

SYRIA

Putin seeks to defuse downing of Russian jet

Questions swirl ahead of planned hearing on sex assault allegation DRESS FOR SUCCESS

Library helps job hunters look the part J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE (AP)

POLITICS Democratic and Republican senators quarreled Tuesday over who will testify at what promises to be a dramatic and emotional hearing next Monday with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who says he sexually assaulted her when they were in high school.

But doubts were raised about whether she would appear.

Kavanaugh was at the White House for a second straight day, but again did not meet with President Trump. The president said he was “totally supporting” Kavanaugh and rejected calls for the FBI to investigate the accusation.

“I don’t think FBI really should be involved because they don’t want to be involved,” Trump said. As for Kavanaugh, he said, “I feel so badly for him that he’s going through this, to be honest with you. ... This is not a man that deserves this.”

Democrats are demanding that the FBI be given time to reopen its background investigation into Kavanaugh so it can check the assertions of Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Kavanaugh of assault. They say the hearing should not move forward until that investigation is completed.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck

The Senate Judiciary Committee has planned a hearing for Monday on an accusation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Schumer, D-N.Y., said an FBI investigation is “essential” to prevent the hearing from becoming merely a “he said, she said affair.”

Republicans responded that reopening the investigation is up to the White House and they are sticking with their plans for a Monday hearing — with or without Ford’s participation.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said on radio’s “Hugh Hewitt Show” that he had not yet received confirmation from Ford that she would appear at the hearing, despite several attempts to reach her.

Meanwhile, Mark Judge, a friend of Kavanaugh’s who Ford claims witnessed the assault,

said Tuesday he does not wish to testify before the committee.

“I have no memory of this alleged incident. ... More to the point, I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes,” he said in a statement sent to the committee by his lawyer. “I have no more information to offer the committee and I do not wish to speak publicly regarding the incidents described in Dr. Ford’s letter.”

Schumer said Democrats want more than two witnesses, including Judge. Limiting the hearing to just Kavanaugh and Ford would be “inadequate, unfair, wrong and a desire not to get at the whole truth,” Schumer said.

The Riverside branch of the New York Public Library has rolled out some new offerings: neck ties, bow ties, handbags and briefcases meant for people with limited means who have job interviews or other events for which they need to dress up. Librarian Michelle Lee came up with the idea in 2016 while teaching a class about job seeking. She told the high schoolers in attendance to dress professionally, and not to bring backpacks to job interviews. When she realized many couldn’t afford professional attire, she proposed her idea to the library’s Innovation Project. In August, she placed bar codes on a collection of items and put them on display. Now she plans to start advertising at local high schools and colleges. (TWP)

POLITICS Beijing struck back Tuesday against President Trump’s new tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports, vowing it would immediately retaliate when they take effect and threatening a protracted dispute that could raise the prices of household goods in both countries.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has refused to budge amid mounting threats from Trump, who vowed to place higher border taxes on practically everything the U.S. buys from China if Beijing unveils new duties, effective Monday at noon.

“In order to safeguard our legitimate rights and interests and the global free trade order, China will have to take countermeasures,” the country’s Ministry of Commerce said in a statement.

“We deeply regret this.”

nation+world “How much will new replacement windows & doors cost me?”

Florence’s toxic threat Fears of water pollution spread as the storm floods hog farms and coal ash pits in N.C.

Renewal by Andersen has a phone line dedicated to that question.

Evacuees told it’s still unsafe to return home

STE VEN MUFSON, BR ADY DENNIS AND

WILMINGTON, N.C. Hundreds of people waited in long lines for water and other essentials Tuesday in Wilmington, N.C., still mostly cut off by high water days after Hurricane Florence unleashed epic floods. North Carolina’s governor pleaded with more than 10,000 evacuees around the state not to return home yet.

The death toll rose to at least 35 in three states, with 27 fatalities in North Carolina, as Florence’s remnants went in two directions: Water flowed downstream toward the Carolina coast, and storms moved through the Northeast, where flash floods hit New Hampshire and New York state.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper warned that the flooding set off by as much as 3 feet of rain from Florence is far from over and will get worse in places.

“I know for many people this feels like a nightmare that just won’t end,” he said.

Addressing about 10,000 people who remain in shelters and “countless more” staying elsewhere, Cooper urged residents to stay put for now.

Roads remain treacherous, he said, and some are still being closed for the first time as rivers swelled by torrential rains inland drain toward the Atlantic.

“I know it was hard to leave home, and it is even harder to wait and wonder whether you even have a home to go back to,” Cooper said. CHUCK BURTON AND

JULIET EILPERIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

CAROLYN VAN HOUTEN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

ENVIRONMENT Tropical Storm Florence has poured so much rain on North Carolina that the wall of a coal ash landfill near Lake Sutton has failed in several places, washing away more than 2,000 cubic yards of toxic waste, enough to fill more than 150 dump trucks.

Duke Energy, which owns an adjacent power plant, said it doesn’t think the landfill poses a risk to public health or the environment, spokeswoman Paige Sheehan said. But it also dispatched dozens of workers and contractors with heavy equipment to construct an earthen berm that would divert the mix of water and coal ash away from the lake.

Kemp Burdette, an environmental advocate who monitors the health of the Cape Fear River, decided to see for himself. On Sunday, he pushed aside a Duke Energy barricade on a public road to put in his boat.

His assessment?

“I see no way that could have been contained without getting into Sutton Lake,” he said.

The scrambling at the Sutton power plant is just one of many environmental concerns that are spreading as Florence continues to soak hog and chicken farms, flood coal ash pits, threaten municipal water systems, and idle a nuclear power plant, cutting it off from local roads.

The Environmental Protection Agency said Monday that once conditions allow, it plans to deploy “reconnaissance teams” to inspect Superfund hazardouswaste sites in the Carolinas and Georgia that may have been affected by the storm. The agency’s National Priorities List includes

Flooding from Tropical Storm Florence is seen Monday on farmland near Half Moon, N.C.

more than 70 sites in North and South Carolina, including former chemical plants, pesticide dumps and at least one former smelting operation near the coast.

The vast hog farms and their waste lagoons — which Burdette called “cesspools the size of football fields” — pose one of the greatest perils. The North Carolina Pork Council says that lagoons holding hog feces and urine are supposed to safely absorb at least 19 inches of rain and that ahead of the storm many were prepared for more than 25 inches. But Florence has dumped that much or more in some areas.

On Monday afternoon, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality said it had received reports of discharges or overtopping of lagoons at seven locations. Four other lagoons had been inundated by floodwaters. Fourteen lagoons were at or near their capacity.

flowed downstream, eventually settling in coastal estuaries. It was blamed for elevated nitrogen and phosphorous levels, algae blooms and fish kills.

State environmental officials insisted that they learned lessons from Floyd. They put a moratorium on building new farms with more than 250 hogs.

After that hurricane, the state bought out 43 hog operations located in the flood plain, and removed 103 waste lagoons.

Other lagoons were relocated to higher ground and, in some cases, re-engineered.

But Andy Curliss, the chief executive of the North Carolina Pork Council, is still worried.

He said, “While there are more than 3,000 active lagoons in the state that have been unaffected by the storm, we remain concerned about the potential impact of these record-shattering floods.”

nation+world Critics say declassifying Russia probe materials is conflict for president NATIONAL SECURITY President Trump is flexing his executive power to declassify secret documents in the Russia investigation, a move he says will ensure that “really bad things” at the FBI are exposed. But the decision, made against the backdrop of Trump’s spiraling outrage at the special counsel’s Russia investigation, may expose sensitive sources and methods and brush up against privacy law protections, experts say.

The order is likely to further divide the president from the intelligence agencies he oversees

verbatim

and raises new concerns that Trump is disclosing government secrets for his own political gain.

Critics of the move say the president has a clear conflict by trying to discredit an investigation in which he himself is a subject.

“This radical policy choice is not being made on traditional policy grounds. It’s being made on conflicted grounds,” said David Kris, a former Justice Department national security division head. “That’s problematic.”

The Justice Department says it’s begun complying with the order, though it’s not clear when the documents might be released.

It’s also unclear if the review now underway might find ways to try to withhold certain information or limit whatever damage that

Trump: Papers expose FBI

President Trump has ordered the declassification of materials related to the Russia investigation.

may arise from the release.

The documents the president ordered declassified include a portion of a secret surveillance

application for former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Trump appeared unconcerned Tuesday by the national security implications of the order, tweeting, “Really bad things were happening, but they are now being exposed. Big stuff!” At the White House he said he wants “total transparency,” insisting again that the probe is a “witch hunt.”

In this case, the materials may shed insight into why federal agents suspected Page of being the agent of a foreign power.

But it may also identify specific sources of information for the FBI or disclose previously classified information about Russian efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.

POLITICS The Senate on Tuesday passed a short-term spending bill that would keep the government running through Dec. 7, aiming to avert a government shutdown and put off a fight over funding for President Trump’s border wall until after the midterms.

The short-term bill came attached to a massive budget package containing full-year 2019 funding for the Pentagon as well as for the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education departments. GOP leaders designed the package to combine key Republican and Democratic priorities in an attempt to garner overwhelming bipartisan support. The package also aims to satisfy Trump’s desire for more military spending.

The 93-to-7 vote came less than two weeks ahead of a Sept.

30 deadline when government funding will expire unless Congress and Trump intervene.

The House is expected to take up the bill next week, but it remains uncertain whether Trump would sign the measure.

Some conservatives lamented that many of their priorities were left out, including provisions to block funding for Planned Parenthood, the Affordable Care Act and fetal tissue research.

The legislation includes language sought by Democrats to address family separations at the border, and a short-term reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. ERICA WERNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A sparse crowd of 57,013 at FedEx Field on Sunday proves that the Redskins have lost fans.

BOYCOTT CANTON?

JONATHAN NEWTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

HOF legends want more from league

BARRY SVRLUGA | THE WASHINGTON POST

Eroded fan base: Redskins’ decline apparent in stands The empty seats — whole sections of them, striking even on TV — aren’t some sudden development at FedEx Field. This is two decades of erosion of a franchise we call “once-proud” because the pride generated by old Super Bowl trophies feels better than the present failures.

The once-proud Redskins lost to the Colts in their home opener Sunday at FedEx Field.

This time the no-shows weren’t just the players and coaches.

The no-shows are now the fans.

The seats were empty not because ticket holders — paying customers — decided it was too hard to get to the game, or that a hurricane was forecast, or that they had to file their

nails. No, the seats were empty because there weren’t customers who would pay.

The 50-year streak in which the Redskins said they had sold out every game ended. So the most significant takeaway from a listless 21-9 loss was an off-the-field issue — lousy attendance — a product of the team’s off-the-field nonsense for over two decades.

Add up the reasons — the losing and the junk stadium and the maddening traffic and the long walk from Metro and the relative comfort of the couch and the years of frustration with owner Daniel Snyder.

They’re all factors in this truth: This has been coming.

The team knew this was coming, too, because it had begun a new approach to nearly everything on the non-football

side under Brian Lafemina, its new chief business officer.

Washington mailed free preseason tickets — and a parking pass — to some former season ticket holders who hadn’t renewed. It admitted a waiting list didn’t exist. It marketed single-game tickets. It removed seats. It overhauled in-game entertainment and opened new eat-and-drink areas.

“If you have something to sell,” Lafemina said in an interview last week, “I think the best way to sell it is to tell them

FEDEX ATTENDANCE

28th

The rank in crowd size for Sunday’s game at FedEx Field among the 32 NFL games played in the first two weeks. The Redskins announced an attendance of 57,013. The only home teams that have drawn fewer fans were the Los Angeles Chargers, who moved from San Diego last year and play in a tiny soccer stadium, the Oakland Raiders, who plan to move to Las Vegas by 2020, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cincinnati Bengals. (TWP/EXPRESS)

King County (Wash.) Council approves $135M in public funds to renovate Mariners’ stadium

it’s for sale.”

Huh. Not hide behind fictitious storylines that prop up the idea that Washington’s appetite for the team is insatiable? How novel.

As an executive with the NFL, Lafemina was privy to data and fan surveys at all 32 clubs. Why leave a top job at the league to run the business of one club? It’s almost as if the league said, “Look, Brian, Washington’s a shell of what it once was.

Go fix it, and we’ll make sure it’s worth your while.”

At the core of this is, of course, losing. Just six sorry franchises have a worse cumulative record than Washington since 1997, when FedEx Field opened. Washington’s record at FedEx Field after Sunday: 84-84-1, 28th-best at home in the league over that span.

The good part: There is no longer pretense around the Redskins. Now that the myths have been stripped away — the waiting list that has been fiction for who-knows-how-long, the sellout streak that no one with the team can chart — the extent of the damage is clear.

It cites retired players as “integral to the creation of the modern NFL.” Signees include Dickerson, the chairman of the new group, Jim Brown, Jerry Rice, Joe Namath, Lawrence Taylor and Sarah White, the widow of Reggie White.

Russian winger targets roster spot CAPITALS As if Sergei Shumakov hadn’t heard enough about how difficult it would be to move from the Kontinental Hockey League to the NHL, the first hang-up came before he even arrived in Washington. The visa process dragged, and he missed the first two days of Capitals training camp.

Then there was the issue of the language barrier, so coach Todd Reirden grouped the winger with other Russians in practice. They served as interpreters, explaining drills and showing him around.

Center Evgeny Kuznetsov, Shumakov’s friend since they were 5 years old, experienced the same whirlwind four years ago. After helping convince Shumakov to sign with Washington, he warned him of the transition.

“It’s not easy y when you’re 26

and you have to change everything in your life,” Kuznetsov said. “… I really feel like our organization has the time to give him a chance to understand everything and they’re not going to force 17 goals right away.”

Shumakov, 26, had 17 goals and 23 assists in 47 games for CSKA Moscow last season, and he held out to force his release. He signed a one-year deal with a $925,000 cap hit for Washington on Sept. 1.

Because he’s exempt from waivers and on a two-way deal that pays him less if he’s in the American Hockey League, there’s a chance he won’t make the Caps’ opening-night roster on Oct. 3. Washington has a vacancy at fourth-line center but returns all its wingers from the Stanley Cup finals. ISABELLE KHURSHUDYAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK

‘Immortal’ tracks get a second life

JASON KEMPI (GETTY IMAGES)

She’s making a statement

Carrie Underwood isn’t overtly political, but ‘Cry Pretty’ does send a message MUSIC Country superstar Carrie Underwood has 13 songs on her sixth studio album, “Cry Pretty,” released Friday. But two tracks in particular have been receiving a lot of attention.

“Love Wins” is a soaring ballad about people coming together in a divisive culture. “The Bullet” is a devastating account of the aftermath of gun violence.

Many articles about the album highlight those two as standouts, but Underwood is careful to emphasize that her music is simply about hoping for a better world.

“Whatever we say, I just want to make sure people see this for what it is and what we’re trying to say,” she told journalist Hunter Kelly about “Love Wins.” “Above all,, we a e wa wantt peop people e to feel ee hopeful.

We weren’t trying to speak negatively about our world, because we live in an amazing world, too.”

Contemporary country singers are often loath to express any sort of opinion. With a few exceptions, the biggest stars in the genre — known for having a large conservative fan base — have been noticeably quiet as pop culture and politics have collided over the past two years.

So even though Underwood is apolitical on this record, the fact that she actually broaches such topics (inclusiveness, gun violence) at all, even lightly, becomes a statement in itself. Underwood is making it clear: She has some things she wants to say, and she’s going to say them however and whenever she wants.

Underwood proved she can

Striking new chords “Cry Pretty” is not the confessional record that Carrie Underwood’s country peers have done really well. But she’s pushing herself in new musical directions, teasing out parts of her multi-faceted voice with rhythm and tempo that feel like you’re hearing her anew.

KRISTIN M. HALL (AP)

also make waves unrelated to her songs, thanks to an outspoken interview on the Nashville podcast “Women Want to Hear Women.” The lack of women on the country radio charts is much discussed in the industry; on Billboard’s country music chart, there are a mere five songs in the top 50 by solo female artists.

“Some new guy has a number one and I’m like, ‘Good for you, that’s great, but who are you?’ ” she said. “Then [there are] women, strong women, who are super-talented that totally deserve it, not getting the same opportunities.”

When Underwood goes on tour next year, she’s bringing along female opening acts: Maddie die & Tae and Runaway June. And when it comes to speaking out about anything sensitive, she’ll he’ll say what she needs to.

Speaking to Entertainment ent Weekly about the message behind “Love Wins,” Underwood ood may as well have been talking ing about her music in general: “It’s It’s bigger than any one political cal party or issue or any one thing.” ng.”

Ann Wilson has earned her spot among the greatest rock vocalists of all time. On “Immortal,” a covers album released Friday, the Heart singer pays tribute to artists who have died. The result is an eye-opening look at largely obscure songs by big-name artists. It kicks off with Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me,” which benefits from Wilson’s passionate wailing and subtle phrasing.

The true payoff comes on Leonard Cohen’s “A Thousand Kisses Deep” — rarely has a song benefited from vocals so silky smooth and sensual. And David Bowie’s “I’m m Afraid of Americans” is just plain fun. WAYNE PARRY (AP)

“Saturday Night Live” stars Kate McKinnon and Kenan Thompson kicked off the show with an ensemble song about how this year offered the most diverse nominees in Emmy history. Eventually, everyone in the skit was informed that they had, in fact, not solved Hollywood’s diversity problem.

As promised, co-hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost did not get political. Instead they aimed barbs at the likes of “Roseanne.” “I heard Roseanne is actually moving to Israel,” Che said. “I mean, damn. How messed up is your life when you have to go to the Middle East just to get peace of mind?”

Nobody was more shocked than Regina King when she won lead actress in a limited series or movie for Netflix’s “Seven Seconds,” in which she plays the mother of a teenager killed during a hit-and-run involving a white police officer. Her triumph was greeted with a standing ovation from the crowd.

Henry Winkler got his first Primetime Emmy nod in 1976 for “Happy Days,” and this year marked his sixth nomination — but he didn’t win until Monday, when he scored the supporting actor in a comedy trophy for HBO’s “Barry.” “I wrote this 43 years ago!” he said triumphantly of his speech.

Those two minutes were the funniest/timeliestt of the entire show.” @NIGELMFS, tweeting about the Australian comedian’s appearance at the Emmys on Monday night to present the award for outstanding directing forr a drama series. The audience found Gasdby’s time on stage — in which she joked about being a “nobody from nowhere” landing the presenting position n “just because I don’t like men” (a nod to her critically acclaimed Netflix stand-up special “Nanette”) — to be the best part of the broadcast.
