But if they do, the police suggested not using a cardboard box and felt-tip pens. The driver faces charges including attaching fake plates. (AP)

First dino returns to wall in Fossil Hall

McLEAN, VA.

Hilton’s new food hall will be open to the public

Mount of pteranodon is milestone in midst of renovation process LEE POWELL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

SCIENCE It’s not the biggest or the most popular, but the first dinosaur returned to the Fossil Hall in the National Museum of Natural History, marking a milestone in the five-year renovation project that is still 18 months from completion. Exhibition project manager Siobhan Starrs practically leapt with joy as she watched workers mount a pteranodon, a flying reptile, on one of the popular gallery’s renovated walls. “It’s so exciting. I want to open a bottle of champagne,” she said. The National Fossil Hall — perhaps the most popular wing of Washington’s most-visited museum — has been closed since April 2014 for a five-year, $129 million renovation. It took museum staff about a year to move the priceless objects, and another 2½ years to renovate the 31,000-square-foot space,

This pteranodon fossil was the first to be mounted in the renovated hall.

expected to open in June 2019. Officials will use the next 18 months to install murals, exhibition cases, mounts and — finally — the dinosaur fossils. Highlighting the exhibit will be the Nation’s T. rex, discovered in Montana in 1988 and on loan from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The dinosaur arrived in Washington in 2014. Some of its bones were displayed as they were being 3-D scanned, Starrs said, but the entire specimen will be on view for the first time when the gallery opens.

The pteranodon went in first because it will hang on a wall that will be covered in murals. The rest of the dinosaurs and other displays will be installed starting next summer. An early peek into the gallery reveals a new airy feel that is modern yet historic. Starrs said the challenge has been to balance a new approach with the beloved objects of old. “You’ll have the hall you knew and loved, and also the new,” Starrs said.

Lawsuit: School officials ignored signs of abuse PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY Less than two months after Deonte Carraway was hired as a teacher’s aide for an elementary school in Prince George’s County, a fourth-grade student complained about his behavior to an administrator. “You need to check Deonte’s phone,” the student told one of the school’s top officials, a new court filing shows. “There’s some things with kids on it, nasty things.” The administrator dismissed the student’s concerns and did not investigate, saying Carraway had a “clean record,” according to a lawsuit filed against school staff members and the county school board.

of videos and 23 victims later, the student turned out to be right. That early warning from a child in December 2014 was one of numerous alarms from students, teachers, parents and guardians that administrators at Judge Sylvania W. Woods Elementary School ignored or dismissed, the lawsuit asserts.

The school leadership’s failure to act on the complaints enabled Carraway to abuse children in hundreds of incidents over the next 15 months, the lawsuit states, until he was arrested and pleaded guilty this year to state and federal sex abuse and child pornography charges. Michelle Williams, who was principal at the time, denied the allegations. School officials said they’ve made concerted efforts to increase reporting of suspicious activity. “Student safety remains a top priority of … the Prince George’s County Board of Education,” said John White, a spokesman for the school district. The 24-year-old Carraway is serving a 75-year federal prison sentence. He was also sentenced in state court to 100 years. LY N H B U I A N D D O N N A S T. G E O R G E (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

local Virginia Democrats say GOP gerrymandering denies House control VIRGINIA By almost any measure, Democrats crushed Republicans in Virginia’s elections last week, sweeping all three statewide offices and knocking out over a dozen incumbent GOP legislators. Add up the votes in all 100 House districts, and Democrats beat Republicans by a 10-point margin, 54 percent to 44 percent. By one critical measure,

though, the GOP held its own: Republicans are poised to keep a slender 51-49 majority in the House of Delegates, assuming they hold onto slim leads in three races that appear to be headed for recounts. Democrats and some activists say gerrymandering insulated Republicans from the will of the people. “Without doing an elaborate statistical analysis, I can’t tell you that all of it is gerrymandering,” House Democratic Caucus Leader David Toscano said. “But I can tell you that a lot of it is

gerrymandering. Republicans consciously tried to pack as many Democrats as they could into certain districts in the last redistricting. That was clearly by design.” Going forward, Toscano said there is an opportunity to create a nonpartisan redistricting process because the legislature is so evenly divided that neither side can easily push through a partisan plan. “Hopefully, Republicans will see that it’s in their best interest,” he said. “Now is the perfect time to do it.” MATTHEW BARAKAT (AP)

local TRANSPORTATION Metro has kept its Office of Inspector General (OIG) under such tight control that the transit agency at one time installed keystroke monitors that could see what the watchdog was up to, a Senate panel says. The panel also found that even when Metro’s new inspector general, Geoffrey Cherrington, was writing in response to the congressional panel’s inquiries this year, he was urged to clear his correspondence with Metro’s board. The findings — contained in a letter from the Committee on

Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs to Metro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld — are among several suggesting that the transit agency’s inspector general lacks the necessary independence to perform its oversight duties and keep the public informed of the results. “We believe the safety and reliability of the WMATA system would benefit from an independent inspector general,” the letter says. Metro spokesman Dan Stessel characterized the keystroke monitoring as the work of a

Police: Calif. gunman’s wife found dead in home

ATTACKING THE WALL

Cards Against Humanity has ________ Trump

TEHAMA COUNTY, CALIF. The wife of a gunman who went on a shooting rampage in a Northern California town was found dead inside their home, authorities announced Wednesday, raising the death toll from the attacks to five. Investigators discovered the body of Kevin Janson Neal’s wife hidden under the floor with several gunshot wounds. They believe her slaying was the start of the rampage, Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston said. Neal, who was 44, shot and killed four other people and wounded 10 at different locations around the rural community of Rancho Tehama Reserve. Police later shot and killed him. At the time of the attack, the gunman was out on bail after he was charged with stabbing a neighbor. Court records also show that Neal was barred in February from having guns after the assault. Neighbors had complained about him firing hundreds of rounds from his house, and the assistant sheriff acknowledged officers had visited the home on several occasions. “Every time we responded, we would try to make contact with Mr. Neal,” Johnston said.

Death count from shooting rampage on Tuesday climbs to five

Police search the area after a shooting spree Tuesday in Northern California.

“He was not law en forc ement friendly. He would not come to the door. His house was arranged in a Kevin Neal manner where we couldn’t detect him being there. “We can’t anticipate what people are going to do. We don’t have a crystal ball,” Johnston said. Yet Neal was free and able to use a semiautomatic rifle and two handguns Tuesday to shoot 14 people, including at an elementary school, before he died in the shootout with police. Court records obtained by The Associated Press show that Neal surrendered his weapons as required by law in February, but Johnston said police recovered two illegally made semiautomatic

rifles and two handguns, registered in someone else’s name. At a news conference Wednesday, Johnston said that Neal’s rampage lasted about 25 minutes, correcting an earlier estimate that it went on for 45 minutes. Neal shot two of his neighbors in an apparent act of revenge before he went looking for random victims. Authorities believe his wife was killed Monday. “We are confident that he murdered her,” Johnston said. The gunman’s sister, Sheridan Orr, said her brother had struggled with mental illness throughout his life and at times had a violent temper.

Prosecutor fired after berating an Uber driver TEXAS A Dallas assistant district attorney was fired after drunkenly insulting and threatening an Uber driver. Jody Warner, 32, had worked for the Dallas County district attorney’s office for the past six years as a prosecutor. On Friday night, she was also an intoxicated fare who summoned an Uber for a ride home from a Dallas pub. Shaun Platt, the 26-year-old driver who showed up, told ABC News that the ride soured after Warner told him to quit using GPS to get her home and to follow her directions instead — then abruptly stopped giving them. They argued, he said, and he had enough when she started calling him names, including “retard.” He stopped the car, ended the ride on the app and told her she needed to get out. She refused — repeatedly and belligerently. “She kept saying she’s an assistant DA and said, ‘Who are they gonna believe, you or me?’ And I said, ‘You know what, you’re kind of right,’ ” Platt told ABC News. “So I took out my phone and I recorded it.” On Monday, Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson posted on Facebook that she had “decided to terminate” Warner. Warner held a tearful news conference Tuesday at which she apologized. She told reporters she felt uncomfortable when Platt went a different way than she was used to and went into “fight or flight mode.” CLEVE R. WOOTSON JR. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

officials convened by phone late Wednesday to discuss the situation. The 21-member committee could vote to revoke Moore’s

Bipartisan legislation introduced in House to overhaul how Congress handles sexual misconduct cases

SCIENCE Scientists for the first time have tried editing a gene inside the body in a bold attempt to permanently change a person’s DNA to cure a disease. The experiment was done Monday in California on 44-yearold Brian Madeux, above. Through an IV, he received billions of copies of a corrective gene and a genetic tool to cut his DNA in a precise spot through a tool called zinc finger nucleases. They’re like molecular scissors that seek and cut a specific piece of DNA. “It’s kind of humbling” to be the first to test this, said Madeux, who has a metabolic disease called Hunter syndrome. Those with the disease lack a gene that makes an enzyme that breaks down certain carbohydrates. “I’m willing to take that risk. Hopefully, it will help me and other people.” Signs of whether it’s working may come in a month; tests will show for sure in three months. If it’s successful, it could give a major boost to the fledgling field of gene therapy. Scientists have edited people’s genes before, altering cells in the lab that are then returned to patients. There also are gene therapies that don’t involve editing DNA. But these methods can only be used for a few types of diseases. Some give results that might not last. Others supply a new gene like a spare part, but cannot control where it inserts in the DNA. MARILYNN MARCHIONE (AP)

an apparent reference to the first lady’s G40 group. South African President Jacob Zuma said he was sending his ministers of defense and state security to Zimbabwe to meet with Mugabe and the military there. He said he hopes Zimbabwe’s army will respect the constitution and that the situation “is going to be controlled.” Who will rule Zimbabwe should become clearer in the coming days. Mnangagwa may be installed as a transitional leader to return Zimbabwe to constitutional rule, analysts say. Zimbabwe might enter a period of negotiation to get Mugabe to step down voluntarily, said Piers Pigou, southern Africa consultant for the International Crisis Group. “Zimbabwe could have some kind of inclusive government and some kind of democratic process, possibly leading to elections,” Pigou said. “It’s clearly a coup d’etat, but typical of Zimbabwe, the military is trying to put a veneer of legality on the process.” FARAI MUTSAKA AND

Writing in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics on Wednesday, scientists reported the discovery of an Earth-size exoplanet orbiting the star Ross 128, a dim red dwarf just 11 light-years away. The newfound world, dubbed Ross 128 b, is the closest temperate planet known to orbit a “quiet star” — one that isn’t prone to potentially lifeobliterating bursts of radiation. And it appears to meet some of the basic requirements for habitability. The planet is slightly more massive than Earth, so it is probably a rocky world with a solid surface. The host star is much cooler and fainter than our sun, but Ross 128 b orbits it closely and quickly — a year lasts 9.9 days. The planet receives about 38 percent more radiation than Earth does — enough to give it a temperature between -76 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit, assuming it has an Earthlike atmosphere. Though the study authors call Ross 128 b a “temperate planet,” it’s not clear whether it falls within the Goldilocks region where a planet is warm enough for water to exist on its surface. No telescopes are capable of analyzing the wavelengths of light coming from the planet, which might provide clues about the atmosphere and potential for life. But when the 39-meter Extremely Large Telescope comes online in 2024, this world will be one of its first targets.

Controversial first lady

HARARE, ZIMBABWE Zimbabwe’s military was in control of the capital and the state broadcaster on Wednesday and was holding President Robert Mugabe and his wife under house arrest in what appeared to be a coup against the 93-year-old Mugabe, the world’s oldest head of state. The military was at pains, however, to emphasize it had not staged a military takeover, but was instead starting a process to restore Zimbabwe’s democracy. Still, the military appeared to have brought an end to Mugabe’s 37-year reign in what the army’s supporters praised as a “bloodless correction.” South Africa and other neighboring countries were sending in leaders to negotiate with Mugabe and the generals to encourage the transition. Citizens in Zimbabwe’s tidy capital, Harare, contributed to the feeling of a smooth transition by carrying on with their daily lives, walking past the army’s armored personnel carriers to go to work and to shops. Many who have never known any leader but Mugabe waited in long lines at banks to draw limited amounts of cash, a result of this once-prosperous country’s plummeting economy. The series of whiplash events followed Mugabe’s firing last week of his deputy, which appeared to position the first lady, Grace Mugabe, to replace Emmerson Mnangagwa as one of the country’s two vice presidents at a party conference next month. Grace Mugabe has been known as the leader of the G40, a group of Cabinet ministers and officials in their 40s and 50s who are too young to have fought in Zimbabwe’s war to end white-minority rule in Rhodesia. When Mnangagwa was fired,

the generals and war veterans felt they were being sidelined and took action to stop that, analysts say. Mnangagwa’s whereabouts were not clear Wednesday. He fled the country last week, citing threats to himself and his family. Critics of the government urged Mugabe to go quietly. “The old man should be allowed to rest,” former Zimbabwe finance minister and activist Tendai Biti told South African broadcaster eNCA. On Monday, the army commander made an unprecedented statement criticizing Mugabe for pushing aside veterans of

The following day, the ruling party condemned the army leader for “treasonable conduct” and that evening, the army sent armored personnel carriers into Harare and seized control of the state broadcaster and other strategic points, including Mugabe’s residence. In a televised address to the nation early Wednesday, Maj. Gen. Sibusiso Moyo said the army had “guaranteed” the safety of Mugabe and his wife, but added the military would target “criminals” around Mugabe, in

Articles of impeachment introduced by Democrats

Consumer protection head announces he’ll step down

GOP Sen. Ron Johnson says he won’t support tax plan

A half-dozen Democrats on Wednesday introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump, accusing him of obstruction of justice and other offenses, in a long-shot effort that stands little chance in the Republican-led House. Indeed, the large majority of Democrats seem intent on having nothing to do with the effort, as lawmakers await the results of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Democratic leaders have argued that the impeachment campaign riles up Trump’s GOP base, a critical bloc in next year’s midterm elections. (AP)

Richard Cordray, one of the few remaining Obama-era banking regulators, said on Wednesday that he plans to step down as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau by the end of the month, clearing the way for President Trump to remake a watchdog agency loathed by Republicans and Wall Street. Cordray’s turbulent six-year tenure at the 1,600-person agency was marked by aggressive efforts to rein in banks, payday lenders and debt collectors that often drew protests from the business community. Cordray’s term wasn’t set to end until next summer.

A Senate Republican on Wednesday said he would not support the emerging GOP tax plan and another expressed major reservations about the bill, a thunderclap of trouble for party leaders as they attempt to use a slim Senate majority to pass a major overhaul of the tax code. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said he was opposed to the new bill because it disproportionately benefits corporations at the expense of other businesses. Separately, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said she had major concerns over Republicans changing their tax bill to include language to repeal a major part of the Affordable Care Act. (TWP)

With his second straight Cy Young, Max Scherzer became the 10th pitcher with three total.

STANTON FOR SALE

Best in the NL again MLB For the second straight autumn, Max Scherzer’s season ended in a state of wide-eyed shock. And for the second straight autumn, a dose of redemption arrived a few weeks later when the Nationals right-hander captured the National League Cy Young Award. Scherzer has now won two Cy Youngs in the first three years of his seven-year mega-deal with the Nationals. He also won the AL Cy Young with Detroit in 2013. Last year, Scherzer became the sixth pitcher to win the award in both leagues. On Wednesday, he became the 10th pitcher to win at least three. Of the other nine, only Roger Clemens and Clayton Kershaw — who isn’t yet eligible — are not in the Hall of Fame. S cher zer led t he N L i n

Despite battling injuries such as a stress fracture in his knuckle that truncated his spring training, Scherzer threw at least 200 innings for a fifth straight season. Scherzer received 27 of 30 first-place votes from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Nationals teammate Stephen Strasburg finished third in the voting behind Scherzer and Kershaw, the Dodgers’ lefty. While Kershaw and Strasburg lost substantial time due to injuries, Scherzer ascended to the status of Cy Young favorite. Scherzer’s healing knuckle kept him from making an opening day start, but he enjoyed an

He worked through neck soreness and hamstring trouble in a slightly less dominant second half and was not healthy enough to start until Game 3 of the NL Division Series, in which he allowed one run and struck out seven. His season ended in debacle, with a calamitous fifth inning in Game 5 of the NLDS. But the 33-year-old is now one of the more decorated starters of the decade and a legitimate Hall of Fame candidate. His latest honor is further proof to Nationals higher-ups that he has justified the sevenyear contract worth $210 million that they gave him before the 2015 season. CHELSEA JANES

Ahead of the first MLB owners’ meeting since Bruce Sherman’s group bought the team last month and put the former Yankees captain in charge, Jeter said he has not spoken yet with the outfielder, but “a lot of this started when he came out and expressed publicly that he didn’t want to be part of a rebuild.” Stanton, 28, led the majors with 59 home runs this year. He’s due $295 million guaranteed over the 10 years remaining on the $325 million deal he signed in 2015. Jeter also said Stanton’s huge price tag “doesn’t necessarily mean” a deal has to be made.

but no one took questions from reporters. “I’m sorry for stealing from the stores in China,” said Ball, the younger brother of Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball, who played last season at UCLA. “I’ve learned my lesson from

this big mistake and I’m a hundred percent sure I’ll never make a mistake like this again. It’s going to make me a better person.” Alford didn’t lay out criteria for ending the suspensions, saying only that the players have to earn their way back on the team. He said at some point, the trio may be permitted to join workouts, meetings and practices. “We will come to a resolution in short order,” Guerrero said. The No. 23 Bruins hosted Central Arkansas in their home opener later Wednesday night. The players were detained in Hangzhou for questioning following allegations of stealing Louis Vuitton sunglasses.

Brewer names beer for Porter Otto Porter Jr., the Wizards’ small forward who played his high school ball in Sikeston, Mo., had a beer named after him this week at a brewery in suburban St. Louis. Kirkwood Station Brewing Co. began to serve Lord Otto’s Porter — a beer with a “blast of chocolate followed by caramel and earthy notes” — on Monday.

Stephenson makes his case to stay in NHL CAPITALS Chandler Stephenson settled into his stall Tuesday in the visiting locker room in Nashville and tried to catalog the games. How many had it been since he was recalled from Hershey last month? Had he now played one game or two on a top line with center Nicklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie? “I’m just trying to think about every game,” Stephenson said. But Washington’s 6-3 loss to the Predators was significant for the 23-year-old because it was his 10th since he was recalled on Oct. 24. That means the Capitals would have to expose him to the waiver wire if they tried to send him back to the AHL. Washington took that risk after Stephenson disappointed in training camp and was beat out by other forwards, but with two goals and four assists, Stephenson has shown that the team should fear losing him if he’s put on the waiver wire. He could play in his 11th game tonight on the road against the Avalanche (9, NBCSWA). That the team didn’t think twice about playing him in his 10th game is an indication that he’s not going anywhere. Injuries to Andre Burakovsky and Brett Connolly cleared the way for Stephenson to return to the District. Because coach Barry Trotz trusts him on defense, Stephenson was promoted to join Backstrom and Oshie for the Capitals’ 4-1 win over Pittsburgh last week. ISABELLE KHURSHUDYAN (TWP)

The Watergate Hotel’s new rooftop ice rink includes a skate-up bar ETC … The Washington area has plenty of impressive outdoor ice skating rinks. But no facility in the region can match the views from the new temporary rink atop the Watergate Hotel. Opening Thursday, the rink will let skaters enjoy sweeping views along the Potomac River, from the Air Force Memorial to the spires

The hotel’s rooftop bar, Top of the Gate, has replaced a large section of tables and chairs with a long, narrow rink, surrounded by waist-high walls, which can hold 40 to 50 skaters at a time. Beyond the scenic vistas, the rink has something that others in the area don’t: a skate-up bar on one side, so thirsty guests can order a cocktail or glass of wine without leaving the ice. This

CONTESTS You may have noticed brightly colored bicycles all over D.C. lately. These cruisers are part of a dockless bike-share pilot program that began Sept. 20 and will continue through April. The District Department of Transportation is trying to determine if, and how, dockless bike-share companies should operate in the city. Meanwhile, the five participating companies — Jump, LimeBike, Mobike, Ofo and Spin — are vying for a share of the potentially lucrative D.C. market while working the kinks out of their systems, which require people to locate and unlock bikes using mobile apps. The results of that experiment won’t be known for quite some time, so we decided to stage another sort of trial: a crosstown bike-share race. To avoid giving any of the companies an unfair advantage, we recruited six triathletes with comparable race times and randomly assigned them to the five bike-share systems plus the long-running (and docked) Capital Bikeshare program. Our Great Bike-Share Race turned out to be much more dramatic than expected. Blood was lost, tears were shed. Then, there was an eleventh-hour upset that no one could have predicted. Let’s just say we’re glad we had everyone sign liability waivers.

wanted? Jump’s. Even though its bright red cruisers have a 250-watt electric motor to assist pedalers, only four were available in the entire city at race time, and the nearest one was a mile away. Jolene Milot, 37, pulled the short straw. We set a few ground rules: Bikers could take any route they wanted to get to the finish

line at SunTrust Plaza in Adams Morgan, but they had to obey all traffic laws. The athletes downloaded their respective apps and entered their credit card information. Then, on the count of three, they were off, sprinting in every direction with their bike helmets on — a sight that surprised and confused a few Georgetown pedestrians.

Prochnow unlocked the conveniently located Ofo bike and quickly took the lead, passing fellow racers Ellen Wexler, 33, and Rebecca Auyer, 34, as the two women ran three blocks to their respective Spin and Capital Bikeshare bikes. Trevor Albert, 32, was the second to pick up his steed, a Mobike. He dropped onto Rock Creek Park’s paved,

multiuse trail at 28th and Pennsylvania Avenue just two minutes behind Prochnow. Auyer happened to have a Capital Bikeshare key fob already, so getting her bike unlocked was easy. Finding her way onto the Rock Creek Park trail, however, turned out to be more difficult. “I was almost in tears, but then I found Ellen [Wexler],” Auyer said after the race. The two women located the trail entrance together, but then Wexler quickly fell behind because her Spin bike had only one gear. “It was so frustrating,” Wexler said. “Getting up that hill was impossible.” After joggers passed her by, she got off her bike and pushed it up the hill. Just ahead of Wexler on the Rock Creek Park trail, Cynthia Steele, 44, was pedaling furiously on her LimeBike. Prochnow continued to lead the pack with Albert a few minutes behind — that is, until she hit a bump, which caused her cellphone to bounce out of her Ofo bike’s shallow wire basket. While she stopped to retrieve her phone, Albert closed the gap and, in Prochnow’s assessment, “drafted off of me the rest of the way up the hill.” Meanwhile, Milot had to run a mile uphill before reaching her Jump bike at 35th and T streets NW. Then, when she went to unlock the bike, the app said her reservation had expired. It wouldn’t let her reserve the bike again until she typed in her account number and PIN. Once she sorted it out and started pedaling, the bike seemed intent on making up for lost time. “I immediately could start to feel the powered assistance and it was amazing how much you could fly on it — and a little terrifying,” she said afterward. Luckily, Milot was going only about 10 mph when a car pulled out in front of her. She skidded out on

“I liked it! It was easy to ride, though the pedals were a little slippery in the rain. Adjusting the seat was easy. It didn’t have a kickstand — mine might have been missing,” Cynthia Steele says.

“The Spin bike had no bell, so I had to yell to people to let them know I was around. It also didn’t have any gears, so it made going up big hills impossible,” Ellen Wexler says.

“These bikes are just very heavy,” says Rebecca Auyer, who found that the key fob makes it easy to get the bikes out of their docks. “The docks are plentiful,” she says.

When she stood up, she saw that her left elbow and knee were streaming blood. Still, “nothing seemed to be broken,” so she got back on and continued the race.

The surprise ending Prochnow on the Ofo exited the park trail with Albert on the Mobike right behind her. Albert passed her on Calvert Street NW and came tearing into SunTrust Plaza — docking his bike and sprinting through the finish

line just eight seconds ahead of Prochnow, who took second place. Ten minutes later, Steele arrived, docked her LimeBike and trotted to third place. Soon after, Wexler on the Spin and Auyer on the Capital Bikeshare bike reached the northwest corner of 18th Street and Columbia Road NW at nearly the same time, but Auyer lost the foot race because she had to leave her bike in a Capital Bikeshare dock across the street. Wexler was able to park her bike right by the finish line, earning her fourth place. Sixth place went to Milot, who arrived bloodied and bruised. All told, it took between 17 and

34 minutes for our athletes to get from Georgetown to Adams Morgan — a fact that surprised race volunteer Keith Parsons, 35, who was stationed at the finish line. An occasional bike commuter, Parsons told the racers they should have taken city streets instead of the park trail. The triathletes disagreed, so Parsons set out to prove his point. He followed the same rules as the racers, pedaling a Capital Bikeshare bike from Georgetown to 18th and Columbia. He completed the race in 15 minutes and 15 seconds — a full two minutes faster than the fastest of our elite athletes. “I know my way around the city,” said

Parsons, who selected a route that was about a mile shorter and less hilly than the one taken by most of the triathletes. “It just goes to show that pathing is the most important part of city navigation.”

Post-race analysis Though the Jump bike came in dead last, the racers agreed that the electric-assist bikes have the potential to be D.C.’s most popular dockless bike-share option. “It would be perfect for when you need to take a one-way trip somewhere and you don’t want to get sweaty,” Albert said. All the other bikes were essentially dead weight when trying

to go uphill, the triathletes said. The worst of the bunch was the one-speed Spin. “I just couldn’t get any power on it,” Wexler said. Additionally, some of the bikes already seemed to be in need of maintenance: The Mobike’s gear shifter worked sporadically, and the LimeBike was missing a kickstand. Despite those complaints, the racers agreed that dockless bike-sharing is a nifty new option in D.C.’s transportation landscape. “I’d definitely take one again,” Wexler said. “Especially if it was a one-way trip and I was going downhill.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

EXHIBITS Take a moment to imagine a typical American household: two parents, two kids, right? Wrong. The most common living situation in the U.S. right now is a single adult living alone. Other configurations are also increasingly common: empty nesters, multigenerational households, single mothers and communal living among unrelated folks. And yet, most houses and apartments are still being built with that nuclear family in mind, says National Building Museum curator Chrysanthe Broikos. She hopes her exhibit, “Making Room: Housing for a Changing America,” will inspire people to build and buy homes designed with a greater variety of living situations in mind. “There’s a mismatch, a fundamental mismatch, between how we are living today and the very homogenous housing stock that we have,” she says. “But there are new options out there, and we want people to know about them.” The exhibit, which opens Saturday, will show photographs and videos of innovative housing projects around the world, including Carmel Place, a 55-unit micro-studio mid-rise in New

York City. The centerpiece of the exhibit is The Open House, a 1,000-square-foot model home built into one of the Building Museum’s exhibit halls. “People are going to be very surprised when they walk through and feel how much comfort and function there is packed into this footprint,” says Lisa Blecker, director of marketing for Resource Furniture, one of the exhibit partners that furnished The Open House. At different points in the exhibit’s 10-month run, The Open House will be configured in three ways: for a (hypothetical) single mother, grandmother and child; for two adult roommates; and for an older couple with occasional guests and a full-time renter. Visitors can walk through the house and sit on the furniture, and museum staff will show off cool gadgets like motorized walls and convertible beds — all of which are commercially available. “This is not a house of the future,” Blecker says. “The whole goal of building this house is to show how, with good design and a really far-thinking approach, you can design a space that can serve many different households really well.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

The 2017 film “Bill Nye: Science Guy” follows Nye as he challenges doubters of climate change, evolution and whatever that thing he’s holding proves.

‘Bill Nye: Science Guy’

‘Hummus! The Movie’

‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’

It was a happy day in any 1990s middle school science class when you walked in and saw a substitute at the desk and a TV at the front of the class. That meant pretty much one thing: You were going to get to watch an episode or two of “Bill Nye the Science Guy” and annoy the sub by chanting, “Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!” along with the credits. The man behind the bow tie is the subject of “Bill Nye: Science Guy,” a new documentary that focuses on Nye’s work to prevent climate change, promote science education and remind people that just because you don’t like facts doesn’t mean you get to ignore them.

Ah, hummus. Staple of parties, favorite of every vegetarian, giver of garlic breath. But can the secret of world peace be right there in the refrigerated section of Trader Joe’s, waiting to be scooped up with a baby carrot? “Hummus! The Movie” argues that it might just be. The documentary takes a look at the ubiquitous Middle Eastern food and how it transcends cultural, religious and political lines. A screening Sunday at the Jewish Community Center of Northern Virginia comes with a hummus bar and a blind taste test, because popcorn doesn’t have this kind of unifying power. All we are saying: Give chickpeas a chance. Jewish Community Center

There’s something special about a good bad movie. One of the best of the worst is “Plan 9 From Outer Space,” the 1959 cult classic written and directed by Ed Wood. Aliens invade Earth (as they do), and then there are zombies and more zombies and then a lot more zombies. Literally, there are so many zombies the word “zombies” loses all meaning. All of this because the aliens — probably rightfully — do not trust human beings to act rationally and not destroy the universe. It’s entirely possible that the fact that a human could make a movie like “Plan 9” factored into their thinking. Angelika Film Center

Connecting the dots of war National Archives’ ‘Remembering Vietnam’ unites artifacts from a tumultuous era Americans are still trying to process The Vietnam War isn’t ancient history. In many Americans’ minds, it’s not history at all — just a part of their lives. “When you live through something, you see it through one perspective,” says Alice Kamps, the curator behind “Remembering Vietnam,” the newest long-running exhibition at the National Archives. “Even the people who lived through [the time] have really basic questions about why the U.S. was there, why it was there so long and why it was so controversial. We’re hoping to show a number of different perspectives, to give people some insight as to what happened and why.” The exhibition traces the United States’ involvement in Southeast Asia from 1946 to 1975, through more than 80 original documents and artifacts (many of which are newly declassified), historical recordings and films, and video interviews with people whose lives were touched or transformed by the war. All of these pieces combine to create a whole picture of a turbulent time in American history. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS) National Archives, 700 Pennsylvania Ave. NW; through Jan. 6, 2019, free.

Hard hat for Nixon President Richard Nixon received a number of hard hats during his tenure, but not because he was visiting construction sites. In the Hard Hat Riot of 1970, “some construction workers attacked some peace protesters in New York City, and it was pretty violent,” Kamps says. “Afterwards, Nixon praised the construction workers for their support, and they sent hard hats as tribute,” including this one he received in 1970. Still, Kamps says it’s important to remember that attitudes about the war weren’t black and white. “Even at the time there was this notion that the protesters were all hippies and the working class was all for the war, which wasn’t the case,” she says. “Many, many people in the working class hated [the protesters’] behavior, but were against the war. In fact, after the Hard Hat Riot, the first labor protests against the war were staged.”

Shoes of evacuated child Model of ‘the Hanoi Hilton’ This undated model of the Hoa Lo prison camp — better known as “the Hanoi Hilton” — looks like a school diorama, but it had a much more important purpose. “I was so stunned when one of our archivists showed it to me because it’s so unlike typical Archives records,” Kamps says. “It was built by the CIA when they were planning an escape effort to try to free some of the prisoners.” To best plan its mission, the CIA tried to get as close as possible to the layout of the real camp, down to the electrical outlets on the walls. Still, no American POW was ever rescued from any North Vietnamese prison, including Hoa Lo.

When people think of the fall of Saigon in 1975, they usually think of the famous image captured by photographer Hugh Van Es of the final helicopter about to take off from the roof of the U.S. Embassy while people desperately clamber to get aboard. These shoes show a different angle of the South Vietnamese capital’s capture. They came from one of the children evacuated in 1975 as part of “Operation Babylift,” an effort that transported Vietnamese orphans to the U.S. The first flight crashed, killing 78 children and 50 adults, but the program evacuated more than 3,000 children overall.

Telegram from Ho Chi Minh Early on, the United States’ involvement in Vietnam was no involvement at all. Vietnam had long been a French colony, but fell to the Japanese during WWII; after the war, the French wanted to recolonize the country. This telegram, sent from North Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh to President Harry Truman in 1946, partially says, “I … most earnestly appeal to you personally and to the American people to interfere urgently in support of our independence.” “For many years Ho Chi Minh believed the U.S. could be an ally, given our own war of independence,” Kamps says. However, “rather than oppose France, [Truman] made the decision that we needed to support France because we needed France as a bulwark against communism.” Ho Chi Minh’s request for assistance amounted to nothing.

They were well aware, and even questioned the importance of the outcome.”

The third floor of the new museum is devoted to the “Stories of the Bible” exhibition.

God isn’t in every detail at Museum of the Bible The massive institution The good booking newest museum is expecting offers broad concepts D.C.’s capacity crowds for its opening and goes light on Jesus celebration, beginning with Friday’s MUSEUMS The Museum of the Bible, a massive new institution opening Friday just south of the Mall, is as notable for what it includes — a garden of biblical plants, one of the world’s largest private collections of Torahs, a motion ride that sprays water at you, a high-tech theater for stage shows — as for what it leaves out. The $500 million museum, chaired and largely funded by the Greens, the conservative Christian family that owns Hobby Lobby, doesn’t say a word about the Bible’s views on sexuality or contraception. The museum doesn’t encourage visitors to take the Bible literally or to believe that it has only one correct form. And there is very little Jesus. “Our goal isn’t to give answers but to arouse curiosity,” says Seth Pollinger, a biblical scholar who is the director of the 430,000-squarefoot museum’s content. The museum presents broad,

dedication. All timed tickets for Saturday and Sunday have been distributed. Advance tickets are available at museumofthebible.org, where guests can also book special activities, including the Washington Revelations, a Disney-like ride that costs $8 a person. (TWP)

sometimes abstract concepts through cutting-edge technology and immersive experiences. There are children’s arcade games about “courage.” A room with images of animals, minor-key music and creaking boat sounds meant to evoke the “chaos” aboard Noah’s Ark. And many examples of the Bible’s effect on things as diverse as calendar systems, fashion and language — most presented without overt judgment on whether that influence was good or bad. But the story of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection is almost absent. Housed in a former design

center, the museum is built to awe, from the moment visitors pass through two 40-foot-tall, 21/2 -ton bronze doors showing the text of Genesis 1 — backward, in Latin. The feeling inside is just as soaring, with much of the interior made of imported Jerusalem stone. With all this grandeur, some remain skeptical that the museum’s viewpoint can be neutral. After all, Hobby Lobby battled in the Supreme Court against all forms of mandatory contraception coverage for employees. Mark DeMoss, a museum board member and prominent evangelical public relations executive, said people just need to see the place for themselves. “The fact that it is as broad and ecumenical and nonsectarian as it is, I think there will be criticism from the religious left and the religious right — which would mean to me that we probably got it just about right,” he says.

A lot of history went into the museum’s food DINING Ellen Kassoff Gray admits that she and her husband, Todd, love getting geeky when it comes to food history. It’s one of the reasons the couple were interested in developing dishes for the Museum of the Bible’s two dining concepts. Kassoff Gray, who lived in Israel in the ‘80s, said they learned about the ways food is represented in the Bible while doing research for “The New Jewish Table,” a book they wrote on how their different upbringings — her Jewish and his Episcopalian — have influenced their cooking. Her time in Israel, and their research on the cultural aspects of religion, helped spark Milk & Honey, a casual cafe, and Manna, a cafeteria-style restaurant serving Israeli street food, at the museum. The 70-seat Milk & Honey, on the mezzanine level, serves coffee and espresso drinks made with Missouri-based Churchill Coffee, grab-and-go sandwiches ($9-$11), salads ($7-$10), freshsqueezed juice and pastries. Upstairs at Manna, the menu includes seasonal grain and salad plates ($14.99) that can be topped with falafel, lamb meatballs, rotisserie chicken in a yogurt brine or shredded beef short rib in spicy green tahini. A flatbread station churns out pizzalike dishes ($9.99) topped with such options as creamy labneh with tomatoes and chopped black olives. An outdoor dining area has a garden that grows herbs mentioned in the Bible. HOLLEY SIMMONS (TWP)

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

In a country as diverse as this one, I wouldn’t try to get a group of strangers to agree on pizza toppings, much less questions about national identity and politics. And yet that’s exactly what the National Museum of American History is doing in an interactive corner of the museum called Unity Square. The area, which debuted five months ago, features games where people debate, for instance, what food is most quintessentially American, and the meaning of words like “equality.” Much to my surprise, the result hasn’t been daily fistfights and occasional riots. I visited Unity Square one recent Sunday and was surprised to find the area, at the far end of the museum’s second-floor West Wing, relatively well populated. There were about a dozen folks there, though they were all sitting on chairs and couches and staring at their smartphones. Since confiscating phones would almost certainly cause a riot, the Smithsonian instead employs professional facilitators to spark conversations. Next to a large pegboard showing a playoff-style bracket, one of these staff members acted like a low-key carnival barker. “Would you like to play

a game?” he asked a woman and her 10-year-old son, who were visiting from Wisconsin. He also recruited me and a 20-something woman from Orlando. The question at the top of the staff member’s board was “Which food is more American?” We quickly cut the contenders from 32 to 16, eliminating foods such as eggs, yogurt and sushi. The second round was harder. “Apple pie definitely beats hot dogs,” I said. “I mean, what about the phrase ‘as American as apple pie’?” I was outvoted by all of the other players, who argued that hot dogs are associated with two other quintessentially American pastimes: baseball and eating contests. Before the ultimate winner was decided, the five of us had interesting conversations that reached beyond the issues at hand. During a discussion of the origins of Mission-style burritos, the Wisconsin woman opined that many so-called “American” foods were created by immigrants. “Good food happens when cultures collide,” the Orlando woman summarized, and then added, “Maybe good ideas, too.” The contest for “most American food” came down to hot dogs versus corn on the cob, and hot dogs won unanimously. Our facilitator said hot

dogs win pretty often, but not when ketchup is on the board. “Ketchup is pretty much unbeatable, especially when little kids are playing. They just keep shouting, ‘Ketchup! Ketchup! Ketchup!’ round after round,’ ” he said. About halfway through the food game, four high school students drifted in and sat down at a circular table featuring a card game. All four players started with identical sets of cards with pictures on them — images such as kids riding a school bus and a crew team rowing a boat together. The directions were laid out on the table: One person spins the wheel at the center of the table to select a word like “equality” or “security.” Each player then chooses four images to represent that word. Then everyone discusses their picks. One kid spun the wheel and it landed on “security.” After taking a few minutes to pick their cards, the teens turned them over. “I picked jails,

Pro tip: Betting on the ‘most American food’ brackets? Smart money is on ketchup. because they keep us safe from criminals,” one girl said. “They do lock up criminals, but they also lock up people who aren’t dangerous,” her friend countered. A card with an image of a gun sparked a lively discussion. “I am pro-gun but … we gotta face facts. Too many civilians have guns,” one teen said. Another student, on an exchange from Japan, said that in her country it’s nearly impossible to get a gun unless you’re a police officer. “I did not know that,” her friend replied. Around this time, “This Land Is My Land” began playing loudly. We all looked up and saw the recording had been triggered by a group of visitors holding hands to

complete an electrical circuit between two poles. “Awww, that’s so cute,” one of the game-playing teens said. “Let’s do that next.” Has the Smithsonian somehow created a sanctuary of civility, where people from different backgrounds can have thoughtful conversations about their values and political views? Or is it just that the kind of people who visit history museums happen to be prone to meaningful discussions, regardless of the setting? I know one way to find out, and you can help. If you have quarrelsome relatives visiting this Thanksgiving, take them to Unity Square. If calm conversation ensues, the exhibit designers are geniuses and we need to put them in charge of future presidential debates (as well as group pizza orders). If, on the other hand, you end up with your uncle in a chokehold … well, at least you’ll have witnesses to vouch for the fact that he was totally asking for it.

With songs like Drake’s “One Dance” and Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” topping the charts over the past couple of years, dancehall is having a moment. But why settle for pretenders when you can get the real thing with Kranium? The 24-yearold Queens-via-Montego Bay singer scored a hit — and an Atlantic record deal — by soundtracking trysts with the twinkling “Nobody Has to Know.” Since then, he’s kept parties fueled with sex-and-love singles both subtle (“We Can”) and straightforward (“Can’t Believe”).

Leading video artists from around the world contributed to this new Hirshhorn exhibit, which examines themes like surveillance, theology, information overload and race. The exhibit’s five film and video installations vary in size, technique and subject. One, L.A. artist Frances Stark’s “My Best Thing,” features computer animation of her real-life encounters in real-life sex chat rooms — so this exhibit is not for the kids.

On her subsequent world tour, which stops at Capital One Arena on Sunday, she’ll likely dive into the “Joanne”-era setlist, including the ballad about holding on to a doomed relationship, “Million Reasons,” and “Grigio Girls,” dedicated to the power of female friendships.

The feature narrative debut from Danish documentarian Janus Metz (ARMADILLO) chronicles the lead-up to the 1980 Wimbledon ﬁnal between four-time champ Björn Borg (Sverrir Gudnason) of Sweden and rising American star John McEnroe (Shia LaBeouf). Portrayed by the media as opposites, with Borg cast as the cold-blooded, hyperdisciplined machine versus McEnroe's ﬁery, temperamental young rebel, the two are revealed to have much more in common than their public personae allow. Metz examines the inner game of high-level sports, where an athlete's competition is as much with himself as with his opponent. Stellan Skarsgård shines as Borg's coach Lennart Bergelin.

Michael Haneke inventively contrasts bourgeois decrepitude with the ongoing European refugee crisis ﬂowing through Calais, France. Isabelle Huppert runs her family's construction empire, having taken over from her father Jean-Louis Trintignant. A construction accident caused by her son, Franz Rogowski, threatens a civil suit just as Huppert and her lawyer/paramour Toby Jones are embarking on an ambitious new deal. Meanwhile, her ne'er-do-well brother Mathieu Kassovitz has taken in his estranged 12-year-old daughter. "As gripping as a satanically inspired soap opera, a dynasty of lost souls. The movie rehearses Haneke's classic themes and visual ideas: family dysfunction, intergenerational revenge, the poisonous suppression of guilt and the return of the repressed. " – The Guardian.

The latest hyper-stylized genre homage — part grindhouse and part arthouse — from Belgian ﬁlmmakers Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani (THE STRANGE COLOR OF YOUR BODY'S TEARS) takes as its source material a '70s pulp crime novel by cult French author Jean-Patrick Manchette. The story's thieves, lovers and doublecrossers, and the blazing sun of its Mediterranean setting, are but the raw material for the ﬁlmmakers' action-painting compositions, expressionistic lighting, virtuoso quick-cut editing and needle drops from peak-era Ennio Morricone and other '70s-era French and Italian soundtrack stars.

When Lina announces she's pregnant on Goran's birthday, it's cause for a raucous celebration. But what should be a happy occasion for Goran is undermined by the suspicion that things are not as they seem.

Two talented siblings struggle with the idea of being separated while their astrophysicist father seems incapable of dealing with his children's anxieties, in Ilian Metev's (SOFIA'S LAST AMBULANCE) touching docuﬁctional portrait of a family during their last summer together. A delicately executed study of family relationships, 3/4 walks the line between poetry and reality with conviction. The titular trio is headed by genteel patriarch and astrophysics professor Todor (Todor Veltchev), whose arm's-length affection toward his children belies a need for stability. His daughter Mila (Mila Mihova) is under pressure to pass an entrance exam for a piano school in Germany, while younger brother Niki (Nikolay Mashalov) is combatting his feelings about being separated from his sister with boisterous, pubescent outbursts. Metev catalogs a series of moments in the lives of each family member as they deal with fear, isolation, and growth. (Note adapted from the Toronto International Film Festival).

Raised by her single father, Anna (newcomer Sonja Kuittinen) approaches life with fear and uncertainty, and his recent death exacerbates her anxieties.

The students animatedly debate all manner of social and political questions during class time, but the most promising writer in the group, Antoine (Matthieu Lucci), is also the most controversial, owing to his needling of other students' viewpoints, his afﬁnity for certain right-wing views and his deeply disturbing but rivetingly well-written short story about a mass shooter.

Paris, 2001: student Stéphane (Jean Michelangeli) receives a phone call from back home in Corsica that his childhood friend Christophe (Henri-Noël Tabary) has been murdered by a criminal gang. As Stéphane makes plans to return to Corsica, memories come ﬂooding back of his youth on the island, and how he abandoned his comfortable middle-class life to join an armed insurgency for whom criminal enterprise was but a means to wage war against the French occupiers. Loosely based on real-life events, Corsican-born ﬁlmmaker Thierry de Peretti (APACHES) delivers a meditative rumination on the place where complicated national histories, identity politics and organized crime intersect. DIR/SCR Thierry de Peretti; SCR Guillaume Bréaud;

LOVER FOR A DAY [L'AMANT D'UN JOUR] After a bad breakup, Jeanne (Esther Garrel) moves in with her father, Gilles (Éric Caravaca), a professor who has begun a relationship with one of his students, Ariane (Louise Chevillotte), who at 23 is the same age as Jeanne. Initially an awkward situation for the three, in time Jeanne and Ariane form a ﬁne friendship. But Gilles and Ariane's no-strings-attached pursuit of pleasure may not last. Auteur Philippe Garrel (REGULAR LOVERS) wrote the screenplay with an all-star team: Jean-Claude Carrière, collaborator of Luis Buñuel, Miloš Forman, Volker Schlöndorff and Jean-Paul Rappeneau; editor/screenwriter Arlette Langmann, collaborator of Maurice Pialat; and director/ writer Caroline Deruas-Garrel (DAYDREAMS).

Writer/director Claire Denis turns rom-com conventions inside out with this portrait of artist and divorcée Isabelle (Juliette Binoche), who juggles a succession of lovers. Sooner or later, each of the men proves to be incompatible with Isabelle's needs, to the extent that she can't make her mind up about what she really wants (it changes) or give them a chance (she tends to lose interest). And yet the eternally searching Isabelle ﬁnds moments of sunny bliss where others would see only darkness. Isabelle's roundelay of lovers, potential lovers and exes includes Xavier Beauvois, Nicolas Duvauchelle, Laurent Grévill, Bruno Podalydès and Gérard Depardieu.

NOCTURAMA "It had to happen. We knew it would." Bertrand Bonello's provocative, slightly surreal portrait of contemporary terrorism depicts a cell of suburban teenagers, students and shop workers as the perpetrators of a coordinated bombing attack across Paris.

"NOCTURAMA is a mesmerizing, disturbing tour de force — and one of the best ﬁlms of the year." – Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, A.V. Club. DIR/SCR Bertrand Bonello; PROD Alice Girard, Edouard Weil.

In this spritely directorial debut, 30-year-old Nikos convinces his ex-girlfriend Soﬁa to come spend a week with him at his pal's lavish home a year after breaking up. But his motives are far from pure. A light-hearted reunion for the young couple takes a turn when Nikos locks them both in the basement and refuses to let them out until Soﬁa tells him why she ended their relationship. This crafty dramedy has plenty of laughs, style and palpable chemistry from the two leads, who helped pen the script. DIR/SCR/

Vanilla (Maria-Victoria Dragus) is looking at a career in law enforcement. After failing the police exam, she signs up as a security guard while waiting to take the test again, and in the interim meets Tiger (Ella Rumpf, RAW), a wild child who appeals to Vanilla's sense of adventure. As Vanilla and Tiger get themselves into one scrape of criminal mischief after another, it becomes apparent that Tiger doesn't have anything to teach Vanilla that she doesn't already know. Run-ins with cops, drug dealers and innocent civilians convince Tiger that she's made the wrong friend, but will she survive long enough to learn her lesson?

Sun, Dec 3, 1:00; Tue, Dec 5, 7:00

Following his documentary, I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO, Raoul Peck takes on the story of the formative friendship of Karl Marx (August Diehl) and Friedrich Engels (Stefan Konarske). From Germany to France to England, the young thinkers pursue justice for the working class, who toiled under obscenely exploitative conditions to enrich their employers (including Engels' father, a mill owner) during the peak of the Industrial Revolution. Peck crafts an accessible biopic about these two larger-than-life thinkers, taking them down from their historicized pedestals and allowing viewers to relate to them as young strivers disrupting an inequitable status quo through the power of persuasion and organization.

Winner of the Golden Bear at the 2017 Berlinale, Ildikó Enyedi's (THE MAGICIAN, MY TWENTIETH CENTURY, SIMON) first film in 18 years is a surreal love story about two misfits in a Budapest slaughterhouse. Mária (Alexandra Borbély), the new quality controller, has an exacting eye for perfection that has not won her any popularity points. Endre (Géza Morcsányi), the financial controller, is a quiet man with his own problems. When the pair discover that they share the same dream — literally — the century's strangest romance begins to unfold. Moving from documentary-like depictions of the slaughterhouse's inner workings to ravishingly shot dream sequences, this is one of the most original films of the year.

Working from a wealth of archival footage and carefully selected fiction films, Italian documentarian Francesco Patierno adapts British travel writer/novelist Norman Lewis' celebrated WWII memoir for the big screen. With incisive wit, wisdom and affection, Lewis chronicled his time as a British Army sergeant stationed in Naples from 1943 to 1944. As narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, Lewis bears hard-eyed witness to the population's difficult recovery after years of fascist rule, Nazi occupation and the devastation and degradation of war. DIR

Executive-produced by Martin Scorsese, Jonas Carpignano's Cannes prize-winning sequel to his acclaimed MEDITERRANEA (2015) follows Pio Amato (reprising his role), a canny 14-yearold growing up fast in an extended Romani family. Pio is already adept at surviving on the streets of his tough Calabria hometown — he drinks, he smokes, he knows how to be a good lookout — but when his older brother and father are rounded up by the police, Pio sets out to prove he's ready to fend for his family. As Pio comes of age, Carpignano simultaneously offers a broader examination of social, racial and economic inequity on the fringes of southern Italian society.

FRANCA: CHAOS AND CREATION

An EU coproduction ﬁlmed in Latvia, Sergei Loznitsa's A GENTLE CREATURE depicts a vision of Russian society that's both brutally bureaucratic and essentially lawless. A woman (Vasilina Makovtseva) receives the care package she has sent to her imprisoned husband, marked "return to sender." Her efforts to get an explanation and information about her husband lead her into a hell populated by Kafkaesque civil servants, opportunistic exploiters of misery and peddlers of vice. Beginning with a grimly realistic representation of the recognizably recent past, Losnitza's ﬁlm moves into a more expressionistic and nightmarish tenor as the heroine's plight worsens, spiraling into madness and perhaps back in time, too.

Tasked with transporting court-martialed sailor Meadows (Randy Quaid) from Virginia to the brig in New Hampshire, Buddusky and his partner "Mule" Mulhall (Otis Young), opt to take the scenic route, careening through a succession of misadventures at bars, brothels, hotels and motels along the way.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1951)

Sat, Dec 23, 11:30 a.m.; Sun, Dec 24, 11:30 a.m.

A 34-year-old NYC messenger who lives with his mother, Rupert Pupkin (Robert De Niro) has a dream: to do his standup routine on Jerry Langford's (Jerry Lewis) late-night talk show and become recognized as a "king of comedy." Pursuit of his dream leads to what most people would call stalking; after joining forces with certiﬁably star-struck society girl Masha (Sandra Bernhard), the two go all in, kidnapping the late-night host in order to make their pitch. A horrifying and hilarious skewering of celebrity worship, highlighted by Lewis' serious, ice-cold performance and Bernhard's deliriously over-the-top comedic turn. DIR Martin Scorsese; SCR Paul D.

Zimmerman; PROD Arnon Milchan. U.S., 1983, color, 109 min. RATED R

"Lions and tigers and bears. Oh my!" When Louis B. Mayer couldn't get Shirley Temple, he took a gamble and cast Judy Garland as Dorothy, the lonely dreamer from Kansas who runs away with her dog Toto and is transported over the rainbow to the magical Land of Oz. The ﬁlm earned six Oscar® nominations, with wins for Best Score and Best Song ("Over the Rainbow").

FUNNY FACE

Greenwich Village bookworm Audrey Hepburn is whisked off to Paris and turned into a top model by fashion magazine editor Kay Thompson and photographer Fred Astaire. Director Stanley Donen inventively mounts the musical numbers, including Thompson's brassy credo "Think Pink!," Astaire's title song, sung to his model's developing image in his darkroom, and Hepburn's touching "How Long Has This Been Going On?" The famous photoshoot montage, with a Givenchy-adorned Hepburn posing against Paris landmarks, sparkles with color and wit. DIR Stanley Donen; SCR Leonard Gershe; PROD

An American pulp novelist in postwar Vienna ﬁnds himself enmeshed in the hunt for an old friend, now a notorious black marketeer. Unanimously considered one of the greatest ﬁlms ever made, and cinema’s most vivid example of “high noir” style, it stars Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Trevor Howard and Orson Welles. Winner of the Grand Prize at Cannes and #1 on the British Film Institute’s list of the 100 greatest British movies of the 20th century. DIR/PROD Carol Reed; SCR Graham Greene.

Compassion is a ‘Wonder’ Julia Roberts says her latest film feels like an antidote for our times

Every morning is a breeze on ‘AM to DM’

LIONSGATE

FILM “Wonder” could have been designed as an antidote to headlines seen in the news. The film, in theaters Friday, is a thoroughly positive story about the importance of kindness. Based on R.J. Palacio’s bestselling children’s novel, the movie follows Auggie Pullman, a boy with a craniofacial deformity, as he takes his first anxious steps into an intimidating world. Like Auggie walking through the gates of his new school, viewers may feel apprehension about what lies ahead. But in the hands of director Stephen Chbosky, this story about embracing difference aims to comfort. Julia Roberts, who plays Auggie’s mother Isabel, says some viewers have even called this slice of healthy family fare “revolutionary.” “I guess we have gotten to such a grim state of the world that some sweet little offering like this is kind of a handful of revolutionaries,” Roberts says. “I think everybody wants to feel good. And we’ve really gotten into this mire and this habit and this sport of negativity. Maybe that’s why the book struck such a chord in me. I feel that I am such an innately optimistic, happy person. And then the news, the world, is just like dulling spray.” “Wonder” aims to be a spritz of brightener. Auggie — played by 11-year-old Jacob Tremblay,

Julia Roberts plays the mother of Auggie (Jacob Tremblay, left), a boy with facial differences, in “Wonder.”

from “Room” — is a bright 10-year-old who loves science and “Star Wars,” has undergone 27 surgeries for his complex condition and has grown used to the stares of strangers. Homeschooled by his mother, an artist who has put her career on hold to care for him, Auggie lives with his loving but sometimes bemused father, played by Owen Wilson, and a teenage sister (Izabela Vidovic) who feels sidelined by her parents’ absorption in her brother’s needs. Overcoming apprehension, Auggie’s parents decide that fifth grade is the time for him to

start at school. Amid the classrooms and lockers of a ritzy, private middle school, he faces an obstacle course of ignorance, bullying, loyalty and friendship that will strike a chord with many children — and adults who remember that stomach-gnawing first-day-of-school feeling. Roberts says she and Wilson quickly developed a rapport with their on-screen children. She’s full of praise for Tremblay, who has to embody Auggie’s vulnerability, frustration and strength. “We met Jacob once as Jacob and then he was just Auggie,” she says. “I felt like when he came

on the set as Auggie, it was like ‘Hey, there’s our boy. We’ve been waiting for you, get over here.’ ” The actress also says she and her three children, ages 10 to 12, had all read and loved Palacio’s 2012 novel, which sold more than 5 million copies and spawned a series of spinoff volumes. Roberts is particularly fond of the way Palacio switches between Auggie’s viewpoint and those of other characters, a structure the film also adopts. “I thought it was a gentle way of teaching that there’s so many different ways to look at something,” Roberts says.

PARAMOUNT PICTURES

ITS HEART WILL GO ON

‘Titanic’ is sailing back into theaters

Twenty years after Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio fell in love on that doomed ship, “Titanic” is returning to theaters for a oneweek run. A remastered version of the James Cameron film will be shown at select AMC Theaters nationwide starting Dec. 1. Local theaters include AMC Loews Georgetown, AMC Tysons Corner, AMC Potomac Mills and AMC Hoffman Center. Tickets are on sale now. (AP/EXPRESS)

Hulu cancels Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner comedy “Difficult People” after three seasons

MEDIA Twitter and BuzzFeed initially planned to start their new morning show, “AM to DM,” each weekday at 8 a.m. Then they considered their likely audience, and scheduled it for 10. Hosts Isaac Fitzgerald and Saeed Jones — who, like four-fifths of the show’s audience, are younger than 35 — don’t have to rise at an ungodly hour. It’s all so civilized. Launched quietly in late September from BuzzFeed’s Manhattan office, “AM to DM” is a breezy mix of news and pop culture. Viewers watch the stream live on Twitter, or catch highlights later in the day. “It’s been kind of fun,” says Shani Hilton, head of U.S. news at BuzzFeed. “It feels like the early days of BuzzFeed where we were experimenting all the time and making things out of bubble gum and glue.” “AM to DM” (DM standing for “direct message”), which relies heavily on the collaborating companies, talks about the news more than it reports it. The show taps BuzzFeed’s correspondents to talk about everything from politics to dating, and brings in a mix of politicians and celebrities. The content of “AM to DM” is much like that on Twitter, Fitzgerald says. “Twitter is not one thing, and that’s what I love about it,” he adds. “People are not one thing. People are complex, and the complexity is reflected in the platform and I hope it’s reflected on the show.” DAVID BAUDER (AP)

KALEIGH FASANELLA, reviewing the problematic makeup-removing MakeApp for allure.com. The appâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention is to show what people look like without makeup, but some who have tested it out have found that it adds blotchiness to skin or even wrinkles that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My main qualm with this app is not ... that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work well ... but that it implies that by wearing makeup youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re somehow masking yourself and not showing off the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;real you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2030;â&#x20AC;?
