he Economic Development and Commerce Department (DDEC by its Spanish acronym) has revoked 311 decrees established with Act 22 individual investors who failed to send annual reports to the agency.

Economic Development and Commerce Secretary Manuel Cidre Miranda said 264 notifications informing investors of administrative fines of $10,000 each that were sent to Act 20 beneficiaries for failing to file annual reports.

Cidre in a statement reaffirmed his commitment to “zero tolerance” for non-compliance with decree contracts of the Incentives Code (Act 60), granted and monitored by the DDEC’s Incentives Office.

“A year and a half ago we established the control of tax incentives as a priority and we have managed to significantly increase the efforts to control decrees by adding additional personnel and implementing the use of new technologies, and the results are being seen,” he said. “We will continue expanding the magnifying glass, because compliance with these incentives guarantees us the best use of public funds.”

The DDEC chief added that “the tax benefit is tied to a responsibility of the beneficiary, and whoever does not comply with his responsibility will not enjoy the benefit either.”

“You can rest assured that we will continue to monitor them and have zero tolerance for any type of noncompliance,” Cidre said. “What we want is to maximize [the tax benefit’s] performance, looking out for the best interests of Puerto Rico.”

He said the DDEC is continuing to work with the annual report required by Act 60 to measure the return on investment of all incentives, based on what their recipients

pay in taxes and contribute to the island treasury. The last report was published in December and the business intelligence team is currently working to publish this year’s report for September.

Carlos Fontán, who directs the DDEC Incentive Office, said the control of concessionaires under the different incentive laws is vitally important.

“We are taking audits very seriously,” he said. “We reiterate that compliance with the terms and conditions of the decrees is essential to maintaining their effectiveness.”

“Accordingly,” Fontán continued, “those entities or individuals that fail to comply with their responsibilities under the applicable incentive laws will be exposed to the penalties established therein, including the retroactive revocation or nullification of the decree, with all the tax and legal consequences that this entails.”

161 arrested for drunk driving in highway patrol sweep

By THE STAR STAFF

T

hroughout last week, Highway Patrol Bureau and Police Bureau officers conducted preventive patrols across Puerto Rico, issued tickets for administrative offenses and made arrests for various crimes, police said Monday.

A total of 23,711 tickets were issued and seven arrests were made for controlled substances, five people were arrested for Weapons Law violations and one person was arrested for burglary at Martha Lafontaine School in Utuado, according to the police. Meanwhile, 161 arrests were made for driving while intoxicated.

During the interventions uniformed officers seized a revolver, two pistols, a pneumatic pistol, six ammunition cartridges, and 12 bags of crack cocaine. Also seized were two bags of marijuana along with two marijuana cigarettes, and 37 vials of the same drug.

Meanwhile, 10 vehicles were impounded and another three were recovered. Also seized: another vehicle because of violation of Law 8, two “four tracks” and $275 in cash.

The number of deaths in traffic accidents for the year stood at 128 as of early Monday, compared to 194 for the year 2021, which represents a difference of minus 66. Of those fatalities, 54 have been drivers, 31 pedestrians, 12 passengers, 27 motorcyclists and three bicyclists.

Fiscal board threatens court action to nullify new labor reform

By THE STAR STAFF

T

he Financial Oversight and Management Board has threatened to take the government to court to nullify Act 41, the latest labor reform.

“If the Governor does not cooperate, he leaves the Oversight Board with a single option you identified, namely an action to nullify Act 41,” the oversight board said in a letter dated July 30 to Omar Marrero Díaz, executive director of the Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority. “The Oversight Board reserves the right to take all actions it deems necessary, consistent with PROMESA [the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act]. … We hope such actions will be unnecessary.”

On June 20, Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia signed into law Act No. 41-2022, extending employment rights for employees in the private sector. In doing so, the governor rejected the oversight board’s position that the bill is inconsistent with the fiscal plan. The new law intends to restore certain rights that had been eliminated or reduced by the 2017 Labor Transformation and Flexibility Act and, further, to create additional rights for part-timers and students. Among the changes, the law amended the formula for calculating severance payment and the language of the “just causes” for termination under the Unjustified Dismissal Act, the hours of work required to accrue vacation and sick leave as well as the monthly accrual rates for those benefits, meal period provisions, and Christmas bonus provisions.

The governor has refused to yield to requests from the oversight board to refrain from enforcing the law.

“Absent a consent order suspending Act 41 while the parties discuss the issues, the Oversight Board will have no choice, as you point out, other than to commence an action to nullify the statute and to seek other appropriate relief to deter future violations,” the board said. “The Oversight Board hopes the Governor will immediately agree to consent to the order described above. If the Governor does not do so, he will be creating an extremely difficult situation for employers and employees acting under a law subject to nullification, while impairing the Commonwealth’s ability to achieve the growth and revenue requirements in the certified Fiscal Plan and Plan of Adjustment.”

The oversight board said the governor also did not comply with PROMESA in determining the economic impact of the law and dismissed assertions that doing so is a complicated task.

“Before getting into the specifics, however, we cannot accept your premise that assessing Act 41 is a complex and potentially undoable project,” the oversight board said. “To begin with, Act 41 imposes on businesses additional expenses for employment and termination, which obviously deters new hiring and investment. Moreover, the Oversight Board’s economist has determined not only that estimating the economic impact of Act 41 is feasible, but also that Act 41 will have a significant negative impact on the Fiscal Plan, including a reduction in GNP growth and tax revenues.”

Gov. Pedro Pierluisi The governor said later on Monday that he will insist on the amendments to the Labor Reform despite the oversight board’s ultimatum.

“We have already supplied all the information required, both under PROMESA and under the board itself,” Pierluisi said at a press conference at La Fortaleza. “Our intention is that these amendments to the Labor Reform be implemented and as we go along we will see if the impact is positive or negative. I anticipate that it will be positive.”

DE non-teaching employees demand promised pandemic hardship incentive

By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

N

on-teaching employees of the Department of Education (DE) demonstrated on Monday in front of La Fortaleza to demand justice and equity for their sector of public education.

Led by the Puerto Rican Workers Union (SPT by its Spanish initials), the non-teachers demanded the intervention of Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia so that the promises made on behalf of his government by Education Secretary Eliezer Ramos Parés are fulfilled.

“A year ago they announced that the non-teaching sector that worked during the pandemic would be rewarded with an additional incentive available with federal funds,” SPT President Israel Marrero Calderín said in a written statement. “Since then, Secretary Ramos, on multiple occasions, in writing, in public and in private, reiterated that he would deliver this incentive, moving the delivery date up to now, he has UNILATERALLY changed the criteria to qualify for it,

eliminating thousands of employees who risked their health and safety during the pandemic by working in person at schools.”

“We warned both the secretary and the governor that

Non-teaching employees of the Education Department demanded the intervention of Gov. Pedro Pierluisi so that promises made by Education Secretary Eliezer Ramos Parés can be fulfilled, they said.

the level of outrage among working people in schools is higher than they can imagine,” Marrero Calderín added. “They have caused discomfort and anger that they must address by fulfilling their promises as soon as possible.”

The SPT president said he trusts that they will be granted a meeting in La Fortaleza, where they can express the discomfort that exists in the schools, that the governor will commit to paying the incentive to those who worked in person in the schools during the pandemic, and their salary demands for DE non-teachers will be addressed.

“The government has to fully understand that the school community is more than teachers and students and that without the contribution of the non-teaching sector, schools do not work!” Marrero Calderín said.

The union leader also noted that they are still waiting for the decision of the San Juan Court on their request for a permanent injunction so that non-teachers are paid the same incentives that have been granted to other DE personnel.

The SPT, along with fellow labor union PASO, represents more than 8,000 non-teaching workers in the DE.

ACUDEN decision to suspend Peñuelas from administering Head Start program is met with protest

By THE STAR STAFF

P

eñuelas Mayor Gregory Gonsález Souchet, along with Head Start employees, protested Monday in front of the offices of the Administration for the Care and Comprehensive Development of Children (ACUDEN by its Spanish acronym) against the decision to suspend the municipality from managing the Head Start centers located in the southern coastal town.

“We have responsibly recognized the deficiencies pointed out in the ACUDEN audit and we have taken action,” Gonsález Souchet said in written remarks. “The most recent thing is that they were going to send us the metrics to follow, but instead they sent us a letter with the determination to take away the administration of the centers, which have fulfilled their work for more than 20 years.”

ACUDEN Administrator Roberto Pagán decided to terminate the service contract with the municipality on July 31.

“Our working group has done everything

that has been requested to comply with the requirements imposed by the agency and, even so, the administration of the program was taken away,” Gonsález Souchet said. “In fact, employees were fired at the request of ACUDEN, despite the fact that they were actually doing the work.”

The mayor asked Pagán to agree to hold talks with the town.

“We have no idea who is going to take the baton starting today, August 1st,” he said. “We do not know what is going to happen to the employees and the children because it was not part of the communication.”

District Rep. José “Cheíto” Rivera Madera and at-large lawmaker Jesús Manuel Ortiz participated in the demonstration in support of the employees. Likewise, Puerto Rico Mayors Association President and Villalba Mayor Luis Javier Hernández expressed his solidarity.

The municipality was notified of the breaches on May 3, 2021 and engaged with ACUDEN in creating a corrective action plan.

The agency assigned a fiscal controller and

a programmatic controller, and provided direct technical assistance. However, 14 months later the failures had not been corrected, ACUDEN said in a recent statement.

According to an investigation, during the intervention process, deficiencies were found in health and safety practices, contracts signed without proper documentation, along with a lack of internal controls and a lack of adequate procedures for working with funds received. Officials also found non-compliance with the required reports, registration required by the program, in the corrective action plans and recurrence of findings.

Because of the mismanagement, the Municipality of Peñuelas must return to the federal government $529,869.27 of the funds received that were deemed misused.

Specifically, they must return $492,025.27 in Head Start Funds and $37,844.00 in Recovery Funds. The municipality will have 30 calendar days to return the funds.

A single disbursement of $455 per child will be made through the summer P-EBT and P-EBT Summer Child Care programs. As in previous phases, the summer P-EBT is for students enrolled in public or private schools that receive school cafeteria services from the Department of Education (DE). The disbursement will arrive automatically to those who have previously requested it or are participants in the Nutritional Aid Program (PAN by its Spanish acronym).

Meanwhile, the P-EBT Summer Child Care program is aimed at children five years old or younger who also receive PAN, but who did not receive the regular P-EBT. For the first program $139 million has been allocated, while $18 million has been allocated for the second program, for a total of $157 million, the governor noted.

Fiscal board greenlights the distribution of $40 million to cash-strapped towns

By THE STAR STAFF

T

he Financial Oversight and Management Board has authorized the distribution of some $40 million, which will be divided into two parts, to provide one-time economic support to municipalities for rising costs and economic uncertainty due to inflationary pressures.

Specifically, the fiscal year (FY) 2023 budget requests that the Municipal Revenue Collections Center (CRIM by its Spanish acronym) develop and propose an equitable distribution methodology to deploy one-time economic support to municipalities to offset the impacts of inflation and other macroeconomic factors contributing to rising costs.

The FY 2023 budget states that the $40 million is “held under Contributions to the Municipalities until CRIM submits a proposal of the selected methodology approved by the CRIM Governing Board on or before July 31, 2022 and the proposal is

subsequently reviewed and approved by the Oversight Board.”

On June 20, 2022, via email communication, CRIM provided the oversight board with a schedule of the proposed equitable distribution approved by the CRIM Governing Board.

CRIM’s proposed distribution methodology is based on two equally weighted formulas that distribute the one-time economic support as follows: $20 million based on the inverse proportion of each municipality’s budget per capita based on FY 2021, and $20 million based on the inverse proportion of each municipality’s assessed property value per capita.

“The Oversight Board has reviewed the proposed distribution methodology and approves the recommendation,” the board said in a letter to CRIM Executive Director Reynaldo Paniagua.

According to a document, the municipalities of Barranquitas and Comerío received the most funding, with $1 million each. Cataño received the least amount of funding at $123,000.

The fiscal year 2023 budget requests that the Municipal Revenue Collections Center develop and propose an equitable distribution methodology to deploy one-time economic support to municipalities to offset the impacts of inflation and other macroeconomic factors contributing to rising costs.

Ponce Museum of Art honored at IMLS award ceremony in DC

By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

T

he Ponce Museum of Art (Museo de Arte de Ponce) was invited by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to the annual National Medal award ceremony, held recently in Washington, D.C. and presided over by IMLS Director Crosby Kemper.

“At the Museo de Arte de Ponce we have distinguished ourselves by prioritizing the needs of our community. We recognize that we are an important center of cultural and artistic interaction in which we promote knowledge, dialogue and discovery,” said Cheryl Hartup, director of the Ponce Museum of Art, in a written statement. “It is our commitment to continue empowering our communities, supporting our artists and, despite the fact that our spaces are physically limited due to the impact of the earthquake at our headquarters in Ponce, to continue fostering alliances with local and United States museums, thus showing the great cultural heritage that Puerto Rico houses.”

The IMLS’s National Medal for Museum and Library Service is the highest honor bestowed annually on museums and libraries located on U.S. soil that, through their programs and services, have made an extraordinary contribution to the communities they serve.

The Ponce Museum of Art received this important distinction in 2021. Due to the pandemic, the ceremony was not held in person,

A 2021 National Medal for Museum and Library Service was awarded to the Ponce Museum of Art for its extraordinary community work after the earthquake that struck the southwest region of the island in 2020 and the digital programming it developed to meet the needs of the population during the COVID-19 pandemic. so in 2022 the winning libraries and museums from both years came together in a significant recognition and fellowship event held at the historic Anderson House in the U.S. capital.

A 2021 National Medal was awarded to the Ponce Museum of Art for its extraordinary community work after the earthquake

that struck the southwest region of the island in 2020 and the digital programming it developed to meet the needs of the population in the face of the global emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

After the earthquake, the institution launched the “The Museum Goes Out to the Street” program, which provided hundreds of people with art workshops aimed at channeling emotions through painting. The workshops were offered free of charge in shelters, schools under tents, National Guard centers and open spaces where people whose homes had been damaged spent the day and even stayed overnight. The museum visited the most affected populations in Ponce and other municipalities in the region.

Likewise, when the COVID-19 pandemic reached the island and the recommendation for preventive isolation kept the population confined to their homes, the museum reacted quickly by developing the ConectARTE program, which it conducted through its social networks for more than a year.

The Museo de Arte de Ponce is a nonprofit organization founded in 1959 by Luis A. Ferré (1904-2003) and accredited since 1987 by the American Alliance of Museums. The institution is recognized worldwide as an important center for European art in America and offers its visitors a rich panorama of Western art, from the late Middle Ages to the dawn of the 20th century.

For six decades, the Museum has excelled in areas such as research, conservation and education, connecting the community and its visitors with art.

PREPA urges prudence in use of air conditioners amid heat wave

Trump-backed conspiracy theorist vies to take over Arizona elections

By DANNY HAKIM

T

his spring, Mark Finchem traveled to Mar-a-Lago in Florida for the premiere of a documentary advancing the specious notion that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from President Donald Trump by an army of leftists stuffing drop boxes with absentee ballots. As a state representative and candidate for secretary of state in Arizona, Finchem was a minnow among the assembled MAGA stars, the likes of Rudy Giuliani and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.

But he still got his face time.

“President Trump took 20 minutes with me,” Finchem later recounted during a campaign stop. “And he said: ‘I want you to understand something. The Arizona secretary of state race is the most important race in the United States.’”

Arizona, of course, occupies a special place on Trump’s map of election indignities — as the onetime Republican stronghold where President Joe Biden’s narrow and crucial victory was first called by, of all networks, Fox News.

Should Trump run again in 2024, a friendly secretary of state, as administrator of the state’s elections, could be in a position to help him avoid a repeat.

Now, as Arizona holds its primaries today, Finchem is the candidate of a Trump-backed America First coalition of more than a dozen 2020 election deniers who have sought once-obscure secretary of state posts across the country.

Finchem’s campaign pronouncements are testament to the evolution of the “Stop the Steal” movement: It is as much about influencing future elections as it is about what happened in 2020.

To that end, Finchem, who has identified himself as a member of the Oath Keepers militia in the past, may be the perfectly subversive candidate. Like his America First compatriots, he seeks, quite simply, to upend voting.

He wants to ban early voting and sharply restrict mailin ballots, even though the latter were widely popular in Arizona long before the pandemic. He is already suing to suspend the use of all electronic vote-counting machines in Arizona, in litigation bankrolled by conspiracy theorist and pillow tycoon Mike Lindell. And he has co-sponsored a bill that would give the state’s Republican-led Legislature authority to overturn election results.

If he loses his own race, Finchem told a June fundraiser, “ain’t gonna be no concession speech coming from this guy.”

Finchem did not respond to requests for comment for this article, and one of his lawyers declined to comment.

But in a May email he assured Republican supporters that if he had been in office in 2020, “we would have won.

Plain and simple.” In the days after the election, he was co-host of an unofficial hearing at a downtown Phoenix hotel where Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, aired bogus stolen-elections claims. He was instrumental in trying to advance a slate of fake Trump electors in Arizona — part of

Mark Finchem at a candidate luncheon in Sun City West, Ariz. His policies would upend the voting process in the state. a scheme to overturn the elections in a number of states that is being investigated by the Justice Department — and he is helping gather signatures to petition to decertify the state’s election results, even though that is not legally possible.

Finchem also marched to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

He has said he did not come closer than 500 yards, but photos have surfaced showing him near the Capitol steps.

He is not among the Oath Keepers who have been criminally charged, although he has been subpoenaed by the House committee investigating the attack.

Trump called him “the kind of fighter we need” in his endorsement and invited him to speak at his recent rally in Arizona. In the meantime, the other three Republican candidates for secretary of state, who in Arizona also serves as lieutenant governor, have staked out a range of positions on the 2020 election.

State Rep. Shawnna Bolick says she would not have certified Biden’s 2020 victory, even though it was legally required: “That would’ve been fine,” she said during a debate. “I would have been breaking the law.” The other two candidates — state Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita and Beau Lane, an advertising executive — say they would have followed the law and certified the election.

A Michigan transplant, Finchem, 65, has spent more than seven years as a lawmaker from a district outside Tucson, which during a recent visit was a boiling 115-degree valley set amid mountains and cactuses. He has embraced a sun-baked sheriff aesthetic, favoring large cowboy hats that belie his Detroit birthplace, and was the Arizona coordinator for the Coalition of Western States, a group that once supported the armed occupation of federal land in Oregon.

Finchem has raised more than $1.2 million, a considerable amount for a campaign for secretary of state.

(Lane has raised about $1.1 million, while the other two candidates trail significantly behind.) Much of the money has come from out of state — seven of the eight donors who were listed as having donated the $5,300 maximum

in his last two campaign filings were from elsewhere. Major donors include Brian T. Kennedy, a past president of the right-wing Claremont Institute, and Michael Marsicano, a former mayor of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, who recently lost a Republican congressional primary.

For all that, he has few visible signs of a staff or campaign office. About three-quarters of his expenditures, more than $750,000, have flowed to a Florida political consulting firm run by Spence Rogers, the nephew of Wendy Rogers, an Arizona lawmaker with ties to white nationalists, campaign filings show. A further $53,000, or nearly 5% of his total expenditures, have gone to payments to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. (Many other Trump-backed candidates have done likewise, including Kari Lake, Trump’s favored candidate for Arizona governor, whose campaign has spent more than $100,000 at Mar-a-Lago.)

Finchem’s handling of donor money has attracted scrutiny. Last year, he sought contributions to a political action committee to help pay for an election hearing. But he directed supporters to send money “to his personal Venmo and PayPal accounts,” rather than to the PAC itself, according to a complaint from a nonprofit group, Campaign for Accountability. State law bars the commingling of political and personal funds. The current secretary of state, Katie Hobbs, a Democrat running for governor, referred the case to Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican, who did not pursue it further; his office said insufficient cause had been established.

Finchem limits his media appearances largely to right-wing talk shows; he is a frequent guest on the podcast of former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. His embrace of conspiracy theories is expansive. He argues that Marxists conspired to manipulate the 2020 election, that people voted with “software that flips votes,” that Biden is “a fraudulent president.” The Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol “was a setup,” he said. “The whole thing was a setup.”

Reginald Bolding, the minority leader of the statehouse and one of two Democratic primary candidates for secretary of state, said a Finchem victory would “signal that our elections would not be safe and secure and “would be manipulated by party affiliation and outcomes that he wants.”

“I don’t know if Mark Finchem actually believes the things that he says, but they’re not based in reality,” he added.

Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, has endorsed Lane, as have many in the business community. Finchem sees in his competitor yet another conspiracy: “Beau Lane is a Democrat Plant,” he recently tweeted. Lane, for his part, called Finchem’s plan to stop using vote-counting machines fanciful.

“It’s something that’s logistically impossible in Arizona,” he said. “Maybe you could pull that off in Wyoming or South Dakota or Delaware. But Arizona is one of the top 15 most populous states. And it just makes no sense.”

Lies for profit: Can Sandy Hook parents shut Alex Jones down?

Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin, the parents of Jesse Lewis, a 6-year-old who was killed with 19 classmates and six educators in the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting, in Newtown, Conn., April 15, 2019. The couple is requesting $150 million in compensatory damages for years of torment and threats they endured in the aftermath of Alex Jones’s lies about them on Infowars, his Austin-based website and broadcast.

By ELIZABETH WILLIAMSON

W

hen viral lies harm private people, are the courts their best refuge? A trial to decide how much conspiracy broadcaster Alex Jones must pay a Sandy Hook family for defaming them attempts to answer that question.

Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, the parents of Jesse Lewis, 6, who died at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, are requesting $150 million in compensatory damages for years of torment and threats they endured in the aftermath of Jones’ lies about them on Infowars, his Austin,Texas-based website and broadcast. They are suing him in the first of three trials in which juries will decide how much he must pay relatives of 10 people killed in the Dec. 14, 2012, mass shooting at Sandy Hook for spreading lies that they were actors in a “false flag” operation, planned by the government as a pretext for gun control.

Last year Jones lost a series of Sandy Hook defamation cases by default, setting the stage for the damages trials.

Heslin, Lewis and J.T. Lewis, Jesse’s brother, will testify this week.

More important than money, the parents said, is society’s verdict on a culture in which viral misinformation damages lives and destroys reputations, yet those who spread it are seldom held accountable. “Speech is free, but lies you have to pay for,” Mark Bankston, the parents’ lawyer, told the jury in his opening statement last week. “This is a case about creating change.”

But the trial demonstrates how difficult it is to counter the views of die-hard conspiracy theorists. Over nearly three days of testimony last week, Daria Karpova, Infowars’ corporate representative, advanced bogus claims, refusing even to rule out the possibility that the trial itself was a staged event. She cast Jones as the victim, worrying over his health and saying the Sandy Hook lawsuits have cost him “millions.”

That claim allowed the families’ lawyers to share records with the jury showing that Infowars reaped revenues of more than $50 million annually in recent years.

At the heart of the trial is a June 2017 episode of NBC’s “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly,” in which Kelly profiled Jones.

In the broadcast Heslin protested Jones’ denial of the shooting.

He recalled his last moments with Jesse, saying, “I held my son with a bullet hole through his head.”

Afterward, Jones and Owen Shroyer, a lieutenant of Jones at Infowars, aired shows implying that Heslin had lied. “Will there be a clarification from Heslin or Megyn Kelly?” Shroyer said on Infowars. “I wouldn’t hold your breath.”

Lawyers say the three trials hold lessons for other cases against conspiracy-minded defendants, from the Jan. 6 insurrectionists to Trump allies sued for falsely claiming that voting machine manufacturers helped “steal” the 2020 presidential election. Jones is also under scrutiny for his role in events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

Lawyers for the Sandy Hook families say a verdict, expected

this week in the first trial, could send a signal to other conspiracy purveyors about the cost of online lies and set into motion a chain of events that could shut Infowars down.

Still, the path forward is not clear. On Friday Jones put Infowars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, into Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which usually automatically halts all pending litigation. Free Speech Systems, however, requested that the bankruptcy court lift that automatic stay, so the trial in progress can continue to a verdict. That motion is set for a hearing Monday morning in a bankruptcy court in Victoria, Texas. Judge Maya Guerra Gamble of the Travis County District Court indicated that the trial would proceed.

Lawyers for the families say a big jury award this week along with the bankruptcy could threaten Infowars’ operations, but many details about Jones’ current finances are murky.

For now the filing puts on hold the remaining two Sandy Hook damages trials, both scheduled for September.

In court last week, Jones’ lawyers launched a defense advanced by other defendants in politically charged defamation cases: Our national discourse has become so polluted by disinformation, they said, that who really knows what is true or false?

Federico Andino Reynal, Jones’ lawyer, blamed errors in mainstream media reports about Sandy Hook for the bogus theories spread by Jones.

“He had seen what he perceived as so many lies and so many cover-ups and so much hand-washing of the facts that he had become biased,” Reynal said. “He was looking at the world through dirty glasses. And if you look at the world through dirty glasses, everything you see is dirty.”

But Infowars staff members testified that they did not check easily available facts about Sandy Hook — or much else — before broadcasting their incendiary assertions. Lawyers for Heslin and Lewis, using internal emails and testimony from Infowars staffers, showed how Jones and his top lieutenants ignored multiple warnings that continuing to broadcast Sandy Hook lies would harm the survivors and land Infowars in legal trouble.

At the trial last week, Jones’ seat at the defense table often remained empty. His lawyer, Reynal, has declined to say whether he will testify, adding that Jones is in charge of his defense. Reynal told the judge that Jones’ absences were because of a “medical condition” that Jones, speaking outside the courthouse, described as an untreated hernia.

But he continues to broadcast his show, where he and Shroyer derided the trial last week, violating the judge’s order not to comment on it. When Jones did come to court, he drove up in a motorcade and sat in the courtroom surrounded by bodyguards. Last week Reynal thrust a raised middle finger into the face of the families’ lawyer in a dispute over exhibits that nearly ended in a fistfight.

The trial proceedings have taken a toll on Heslin and Lewis.

They hired security after they spotted people waiting for them outside their hotel, and they have heard Infowars loyalists describe them as pawns in Jones’ pursuit of online clout.

During his testimony in court Thursday, Shroyer suggested that it was the lawsuits, not his and Jones’ lies, that exacerbated the families’ suffering. “I’m very upset that this continues,” he said, citing its “tremendous negative effects on my career and livelihood.”

McKinney fire becomes California’s largest of 2022, burning 51,000 acres

By EDUARDO MEDINA

A

fast-growing wildfire fueled by strong winds from thunderstorms and high temperatures in Northern California has grown to more than 51,000 acres in two days, becoming the state’s largest wildfire so far this year and forcing evacuations in rural neighborhoods.

The blaze, named the McKinney fire, began burning through dry timber Friday in the Klamath National Forest in Siskiyou County, California, near the Oregon state line, authorities said.

Officials had not reported any injuries or deaths associated with the fire as of Sunday morning. Gov. Gavin Newsom of California declared a state of emergency for Siskiyou County on Saturday, saying nearly 2,000 people were under immediate evacuation orders. An additional 1,000 people have since been placed under evacuation orders, said Courtney Kreider, a spokesperson with the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office.

By Sunday morning, the fire had not moved much closer to the city of Yreka, which has a population of about 7,800. But it had already destroyed more than 100 structures — including homes, a grocery store and a community center — in the surrounding area, Kreider said.

Last conviction in Salem witch trials is cleared 329 years later

A tour group at the Salem Witch Trials Memorial in Salem, Mass.

By VIMAL PATEL

E

lizabeth Johnson Jr. is — officially — not a witch.

Until last week, the Andover, Massachusetts, woman, who confessed to practicing witchcraft during the Salem witch trials, was the only remaining person convicted during the trials whose name had not been cleared.

Although she was sentenced to death in 1693, after she and more than 20 members of her extended family faced similar allegations, she was granted a reprieve and avoided the death sentence.

The exoneration came Thursday, 329 years after her conviction, tucked inside a $53 billion state budget signed

by Gov. Charlie Baker. It was the product of a three-year lobbying effort by a civics teacher and her eighth grade class, along with a state senator who helped champion the cause.

“I’m excited and relieved,” Carrie LaPierre, the teacher

at North Andover Middle School, said in an interview Saturday, “but also disappointed I didn’t get to talk to the kids about it,” for they are on summer vacation. “It’s been such a huge project,” LaPierre added. “We called her E.J.J., all the kids and I. She just became one of our world, in a sense.”

Only the broad contours of Johnson’s life are known. She was 22 years old when accused, may have had a mental disability, and never married or had children, which were factors that could make a woman a target in the trials, LaPierre said.

The governor of Massachusetts at the time granted Johnson a reprieve from death, and she died in 1747 at the age of 77. But unlike others convicted at the trials, Johnson did not have any known descendants who could fight to clear her name. Previous efforts to exonerate people convicted of witchcraft overlooked Johnson, perhaps because of administrative confusion, historians said: Her mother, who had the same name, was also convicted but was exonerated earlier.

The effort to clear Johnson’s name was a dream project for the eighth grade civics class, LaPierre said. It allowed her to teach students about research methods, including the use of primary sources; the process by which a bill becomes a law; and ways to contact state lawmakers. The project also taught students the value of persistence: After an intensive letter-writing campaign, the bill to exonerate Johnson was essentially dead. As the students turned their efforts to lobbying the governor for a pardon, their state senator, Diana DiZoglio, added an amendment to the budget bill, reviving the exoneration effort.

“These students have set an incredible example of the power of advocacy and speaking up for others who don’t have a voice,” DiZoglio, a Democrat whose district includes North Andover, said in an interview.

At least 172 people from Salem and surrounding towns, which include what is now North Andover, were accused of witchcraft in 1692 as part of an inquisition by the Puritans that was rooted in paranoia, according to historians.

Emerson Baker, a history professor at Salem State University and author of “A Storm of Witchcraft: The Salem Trials and the American Experience,” said there were many reasons innocent people would confess to witchcraft. Many wanted to avoid being tortured, or even believed that perhaps they might in fact be a witch and just didn’t know it, the result of a pressure campaign by religious ministers and even family members.

“At what point does she say, ‘For the good of the community, I probably should confess? I don’t think I’m a witch, but maybe I had some bad thoughts and I shouldn’t have had them,’” Baker said. It would have been a logical thought process for a society that widely believed in the existence of witches, he said.

Another common reason for confessions, Baker said, was for survival. It became clear by the summer of 1692 that those who pleaded not guilty were quickly tried, convicted and hanged while those who pleaded guilty seemed to escape that gruesome fate: All 19 people who were executed in Salem had pleaded not guilty while not one of the 55 who confessed was executed, he said.

Baker said he was happy to see Johnson’s name cleared. The accusations against her and her family must have ruined their lives and reputation, he said.

“For all the government and people of Massachusetts Bay put Elizabeth and her family through,” he said, exonerating her is “the least we can do.”

War, climate change, energy costs: How the wheat market has been upended

By JOE RENNISON

T

he price of wheat has tumbled from its peak after Russia invaded Ukraine, but experts say one of the world’s most widely consumed foods remains in short supply and warn that a global hunger crisis still looms.

Like oil, steel, beef and other commodities integral to the economy, wheat shifts in price and availability in response to a complex set of overlapping factors, such as geopolitics and the weather. Although the falling price of wheat offers some respite for countries dependent on importing the crop, it may dissuade farmers from planting more. Nor does the drop in price address preexisting problems worsened by a war between two of the world’s biggest producers. Energy prices remain high, affecting the cost of running farm equipment and transporting the wheat to market as well as the cost of fertilizer. And hot, dry weather that crimps crop yields is becoming more common.

“The fundamental picture hasn’t really changed,” said Ehsan Khoman, who manages emerging-market and commodities research for Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, a Japanese bank. “There is a potential where food prices could spiral out of control.”

The wheat market has been on a wild ride this year.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused food and fuel prices to soar, as war and sanctions disrupted supplies from two of the world’s major agriculture and energy exporters. The two countries together account for roughly one-fourth of global wheat exports, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Oil prices have eased a bit since the start of the war, although it still costs a lot more than it did at the start of the year for Americans to fill their cars with gasoline, for Europeans to heat their homes with natural gas and for just about anyone anywhere to do anything linked to the cost of oil. Wheat prices, though, have fallen to roughly where they began the year.

The price of a widely traded type of wheat that started the year about $7.70 per bushel jumped to $13 in the immediate aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February, according to futures contracts traded in Chicago, a global hub for the commodity. The price mostly stayed in double digits until mid-June, when it began to fall. On Friday, wheat traded at a little more than $8 a bushel.

After the initial shock of the invasion, higher prices dissuaded some countries from buying wheat, lowering demand and weighing on prices. An uptick in supply from winter-wheat harvests has also lowered prices in recent weeks.

A deal to free trapped grain provides only partial relief.

A major factor pushing wheat prices down has been the progress of negotiations over the fate of more than 20 million metric tons of grain stuck in Black Sea ports in Ukraine. A little over a week ago, an agreement was reached to open an export corridor to allow some of the grain trapped by the war to move out across the world.

The deal may not hold amid the fighting, and even if it does, experts say it probably won’t be enough to address other issues hanging over the global wheat market.

A Ukrainain soldier near grain silos during a meeting of G7 representatives, at the Odesa Port in Ukraine, July 29, 2022. The price of wheat has tumbled from its peak after Russia invaded Ukraine, but experts say one of the world’s most widely consumed foods remains in short supply and warn that a global hunger crisis still looms.

“This agreement has been bigged up as something that will be a solution to the world’s food shortage, and it is just not,” said Tracey Allen, an agricultural commodities strategist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. Other, more entrenched factors in the wheat market, from the prices of energy and fertilizer to climate change, could play a bigger role in determining the cost — and availability — of a loaf of bread around the world.

Climate change is making wheat harvests less predictable.

Droughts last year meant that even before Russia invaded Ukraine, global food markets were under pressure.

Although some regions such as Argentina saw bumper crops and Russia is expected to have a hefty harvest this summer, severe heat and low rainfall affected the amount of wheat that others could grow.

In Canada, temperatures soared to records. At the end of July 2021, about three-fourths of the country’s agricultural land was classified as abnormally dry. Canada’s wheat production dropped nearly 40% from 2020 to 2021, causing its exports to Latin America and the Caribbean to decline by over 3 million tons, according to the USDA. The decline in global supply resulting from bad weather had already helped push up prices coming into this year. In January 2020, wheat was about 30% cheaper than it is now.

Energy prices are important to wheat farmers.

Oil prices largely determine the cost of running farm equipment and transporting harvested grain. Natural gas prices are even more important to farmers because nitrogen, used to

produce fertilizers such as ammonia and urea, is produced from natural gas.

“It’s not just about grain prices — it’s shipping costs and fuel prices and fertilizer prices and so on,” said Luiz Eduardo Peixoto, an economist specializing in emerging markets at BNP Paribas.

Russia, the largest producer of fertilizer in the world, has steadily restricted the flow of natural gas to Europe, not only driving fuel prices higher but nudging up the cost of nitrogenbased fertilizers. As fertilizer prices have risen, so have wheat prices, ticking up in the past week.

Because Russian fertilizer is so important to the global farm trade, it has avoided international sanctions that have restricted other Russian exports, giving Moscow political leverage over another crucial commodity that the world needs.

Lower prices aren’t necessarily a good thing for wheat producers.

Higher costs for fuel and fertilizer eat into the profit that farmers can make and create a quandary for wheat-producing nations. That is particularly true for Ukraine, where transporting wheat to buyers abroad has become costly because of the war, said Dan Basse, an agricultural economist and president of AgResource, an analytics company.

Although high prices hurt countries that import wheat, low prices might dissuade farmers from planting extra this year, especially in Ukraine as they contend with challenges selling their current crop, which could make them unable to afford to grow more.

Banana Boat recalls hair and scalp sunscreen over low levels of carcinogen

By APRIL RUBIN

T

he parent company of Banana Boat recalled batches of a sunscreen spray because they contained trace levels of benzene, a carcinogen, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said. Consumers were urged to stop using the products.

Edgewell Personal Care, which owns Banana Boat, issued the voluntary nationwide recall Friday for products in three batches of SPF 30 hair and scalp sunscreen that were found to contain the carcinogen, according to the FDA. “Consumers should stop using the affected product immediately and appropriately discard,” officials said.

The lot codes — found on the bottom of the cans — of the three recalled batches are 20016AF, 20084BF and 21139AF, with expiration dates in December 2022, February 2023 and April 2024. All spray cans recalled are 6 ounces.

“No other Banana Boat products are in the scope of this recall and may conti-

nue to be used by consumers safely and as intended,” the FDA said.

Benzene is not an ingredient in any Banana Boat product, but it is part of the propellant that sprays the sunscreen out of the can, the FDA said. Retailers were told to remove the products from shelves. The sunscreen had been sold online and in stores.

“Exposure to benzene can occur by inhalation, orally and through the skin,” the administration said, “and it potentially can result in cancers including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders, which can be life-threatening.”

Low levels of benzene can be found in products such as plastics and detergents, as well as at gas stations and in the air through tobacco smoke, motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Benzene causes cells to work incorrectly and can damage the immune system.

“The seriousness of poisoning caused by benzene depends on the amount, route and length of time of exposure,” the CDC said, “as well as the age and preexisting medical condition of the exposed person.”

People are exposed to trace levels of benzene in their environment. No adverse effects related to the Banana Boat sunscreens have been reported, but consumers should contact their health care providers if they experience problems, according to the FDA. “We know that you love our products, and we are conducting this recall out of an abundance of caution,” Banana Boat said on its website.

Similar benzene-related recalls have occurred in the past. Johnson & Johnson issued a recall for some Neutrogena and Aveeno sunscreen sprays last year after testing found low levels of benzene.

Banana Boat will offer reimbursement for buyers of these products. For more information, consumers can visit the Banana Boat website or call 1-888-686-3988.

Boeing gets FAA go-ahead for plan to resume deliveries of 787 Dreamliner

By NIRAJ CHOKSHI

F

ederal regulators late last week cleared the way for Boeing to restart deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner, which were paused more than a year ago because of quality concerns.

Boeing had submitted a plan to the Federal Aviation Administration this spring to inspect and repair those issues, which the agency approved Friday in a major milestone on the path to delivering the planes, according to a person familiar with the decision, who wasn’t authorized by the agency to share the news. The FAA will still inspect the jets before they are handed over to Boeing customers.

The Dreamliner, a twin-aisle plane commonly used for long international flights, is an important part of Boeing’s fleet. It appeals to airlines in part because it is more fuel-efficient than older wide-body planes.

The delivery delay had taken a toll on Boeing and its customers. In January, Boeing estimated the cost of performing the repairs and compensating customers for the delay to be about $3.5 billion. Earlier this year,

American Airlines said that the delivery freeze had forced it to cut several international routes it had planned to fly this summer.

The quality concerns included finding and filling paper-thin gaps in the plane’s body, replacing certain titanium parts that were made with the wrong material and other fixes. None has an immediate effect for the safety of Dreamliners flying today, Boeing said.

Boeing has already begun inspecting and repairing its inventory of about 120 Dreamliners, but it wasn’t immediately clear how soon the company would be able to start shipping the plane to customers again.

An executive at American said earlier this month that the airline expected to start receiving part of its order of Dreamliners as soon as early August.

Boeing had already signaled this past week that it was close to restarting deliveries.

“We’re readying airplanes together with our customers and have completed flight checks on the initial airplanes,” Brian West, Boeing’s chief financial officer, said on

a call with investor analysts and reporters.

An FAA spokesperson declined to comment on the decision. In a short statement, Boeing said it would “continue to work transparently” with the agency and its

customers toward restarting deliveries.

Boeing said this past week that it aimed to return to producing five Dreamliners a month, down from the 14 it was assembling each month before the pandemic.

U.S. stocks slip, crude slides as soft data feed recession jitters W all Street ended a three-day winning streak and crude prices plunged on Monday as economic data from the U.S., Europe and China showed demand weakening under inflation pressures, while the looming possibility of recession curbed risk appetite.

All three major U.S. indexes ended the choppy session modestly lower on the first day of August, on the heels of the S&P 500’s and the Nasdaq’s largest monthly percentage gains since 2020.

“It’s a consolidation,” said Chuck Carlson, chief executive officer at Horizon Investment Services in Hammond, Indiana. “Investors are waiting to see if we get follow through or continue it’s downward trend.”

The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) purchasing managers’ index (PMI) showed U.S. factory activity decelerated in July to its lowest level since August 2020, but remained in expansion territory and longrunning supply restraints appeared to be easing.

The report follows a swath of data from Europe and Asia that showed factory activity slowing or contracting in the face of dampened global demand and persistent inflation.

“There seems to be a comfort level that economy is slowing but demand isn’t going to collapse,” Carlson said. “Is the Fed going to take its foot off the gas pedal and stop raising rates?” That would appear to be what the market is watching.”

“It’s a tug-of-war between those that think the market has already fully discounted the economic slowdown and those that feel it hasn’t,” Carlson added.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 46.73 points, or 0.14%, to 32,798.4, the S&P 500 lost 11.68 points, or 0.28%, to 4,118.61 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 21.71 points, or 0.18%, to 12,368.98.

The energy sector pulled European stocks lower after disappointing data from the euro zone and China fueled fears of weakening demand and economic contraction.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 0.19% and MSCI’s gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.06%.

Emerging market stocks lost 0.06%. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 0.11% higher, while Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.69%.

Crude prices headed lower as global factory data weighed on the demand outlook, and as market participants braced for this week’s meeting of OPEC and other oil producers concerning world crude supply.

U.S. crude fell 4.73% to settle at 93.89$ per barrel, and Brent settled at $100.03 per barrel, down 3.94% on the day.

U.S. Treasury yields slid in choppy trading as economic data continued to hint at an impending slowdown which could prompt the Federal Reserve to slow the pace of interest rate increases.

For first time since start of war, a ship with grain leaves Odesa

By MICHAEL SCHWIRTZ, MATINA STEVIS-GRIDNEFF and MATTHEW MPOKE BIGG

B

reaking through the monthslong Russian blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, a ship loaded with corn became the first to sail out since the invasion Monday, raising hopes that desperately needed grain will soon reach destinations in the Middle East and Africa and ease a global food crisis.

The ship, the Razoni, which had been stuck at the port of Odesa since Feb. 18, was manned mostly by Syrian seamen and led out of the mined waters by an Odesa port authority tug boat on the high-risk and closely-watched mission. Ukraine has mined the waters off its Black Sea ports to forestall any attempt by Moscow to launch an amphibious assault on Odesa. A rescue ship followed and Russia’s navy, which controls the Black Sea, granted safe passage.

The Razoni was carrying 26,000 tons of corn, the United Nations said, and was due to stop in Turkish waters for inspection on Tuesday before continuing on to the port of Tripoli in Lebanon.

Ukraine’s infrastructure minister, Oleksandr Kurbakov, said the Razoni left around 9:30 a.m. local time. There are 16 more ships waiting to leave Odesa in coming days, he said.

If the Razoni’s voyage goes smoothly, it will mark an important first step for the export of roughly 20 million tons of grain that have been stuck in Ukrainian silos. A United Nations and Turkey led agreement with Ukraine and Russia to

The bulk carrier Razoni starts its way from the port in Odesa, Ukraine, Monday, Aug. 1, 2022. allow for the export was signed in Istanbul in July following months of talks aimed at alleviating a food crisis exacerbated

by President Vladimir Putin of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February.

Russia’s blockade of grain in Ukraine, one of the world’s breadbaskets, sent global grain prices soaring and brought the threat of famine to tens of millions of people, particularly in the Middle East and Africa.

Russia, whose exports have been hit by sanctions, and

Ukraine supply more than a quarter of the world’s wheat, and Russia is a major supplier of fertilizer. Ukraine is also a leading exporter of barley, corn and sunflower. A parallel agreement to the one that opens up Ukraine’s ports for exports will also enable Russia to export grain and fertilizer, further easing the immense pressure on markets and farmers, especially in the developing world.

If successful, the deal to export grain could have significant economic consequences for Ukraine, as well as for international markets. Ukraine’s agriculture minister, Mykola Solskyi, said last week that there was $10 billion worth of grain stored in Ukraine and that the incoming harvest would add a further $20 billion to that amount.

Since the war began, the European Union and other Western countries have explored overland or river routes for the country’s grain through friendly neighbors, but such alternatives have proved to be more costly, slower and less effective.

António Guterres, the U.N. secretary-general, welcomed the Razoni’s departure on Monday and said in a statement that he hoped it was “the first of many commercial ships moving in accordance with the initiative signed, and that this will bring much-needed stability and relief to global food security especially in the most fragile humanitarian contexts.”

The agreement was cast into uncertainty a day after it was signed, when Russia launched a missile attack on the port of Odesa. But progress on establishing shipping routes and inspection protocols continued without interruption.

Uncertainty adds to fury for loved ones of prisoners at Russian camp hit by explosion

By MARIA VARENIKOVA

T

hree days after an explosion at a Russian detention camp in Ukraine, relatives and friends of the prisoners are confronted by a torment that compounds their fury: uncertainty.

The Russian government, which blames Ukraine for the strike, produced a list of 50 prisoners who it said had died at the Olenivka camp in Donetsk province in eastern Ukraine. But evidence that Ukraine says shows the bombing was an inside job has further fueled mistrust of the Russians after five months of fighting.

As a result, many relatives are waiting for independent confirmation of casualties.

The Russian list included the name of Vlad, 28, a member of the regiment that fought to defend the Azovstal steel fac-

tory in the port city of Mariupol, Ukraine.

Anastasia Kavulich, a friend, also 28, said she had seen evidence that he had been killed, although that had not been confirmed by either Ukrainian authorities or his family.

“Vlad died that night,” she said in an extensive post on Instagram. “We were supposed to see each other after the victory,” she said, and added: “I don’t know how to say goodbye.” She requested that his full name not be used because of the uncertainty of the situation.

Many Ukrainians believe the decision

by President Vladimir Putin of Russia to invade their country in February is a war crime. Since then, Ukrainians have been appalled by Russia’s attacks on civilian targets and by other atrocities.

But the attack on the prison camp is seen as particularly horrible because the

fighters, many of whom are seen as national heroes, had surrendered to Russian forces as prisoners of war and were protected by the Geneva Conventions.

“I just want to howl from my own powerlessness and helplessness,” said Alina Mykhailova, a Ukrainian soldier, in a post on Twitter.

Ina, who asked to use only her first name for fear of retribution, said she believed her brother and his wife, both of whom were fighters at the Azovstal plant, were being held in Olenivka, but she doesn’t know for sure.

“How can we know that the same will not happen to others?” she asked. “Who can guarantee that they will not shell it again?”

Kateryna Prokopenko, whose husband, Denys Prokopenko, is a commander of the Azov Regiment, said that a

“line was crossed” with the attack. Her husband had been held at Olenivka, although she has not spoken to him since May and heard that he had been transferred to Moscow.

“We hoped that they would be treated humanely as prisoners of war,” she said. “As we see, they were cruelly killed in the night while they were sleeping.”

“We no longer have the strength. We can only go out and shout,” she said.

One relative of a prisoner, Yulia Stomina, said she had learned the day after the blast that her father had survived, but she remained concerned for his safety because of reports that prisoners were being beaten and underfed.

“We know they are being beaten,” Stomina said. “Food is bad, without hygienic standards. Large barracks for up to 400 people.”

huds from the artillery pounding Ukraine’s embattled east reverberated in the distance, yet it was the shouts of playing children on a recent afternoon that echoed across the yard near the front line.

The scene spoke to the grim choice that residents face after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called this weekend for a mandatory evacuation of the region, directing hundreds of thousands of civilians in eastern Ukraine to leave their homes.

“We could go,” said Natasha, a 46-year-old mother of six, talking over the din of war with unflagging calm. “But how would we earn money? And I have kids to feed.”

Zelenskyy’s evacuation announcement is the broadest government directive issued thus far in the war, coming after months of relentless Russian bombardment that destroyed the infrastructure to deliver heat and electricity across eastern Ukraine. Russian forces are now intensifying their offensive in Donetsk province after seizing nearly all of neighboring Luhansk.

Fighting is also escalating in Ukraine’s south, ahead of an anticipated Ukrainian offensive, and shelling intensified in regions along the northern border as well.

In Mykolaiv, the southern city that faced fierce Russian bombardment early in the invasion, officials said that a hotel, a sports complex, two schools and scores of homes were in ruins after Russian shelling early Sunday.

Officials described it as the worst shelling there yet — a remarkable assessment given the pounding that the city had already endured.

Emergency crews racing between blast sites in Mykolaiv were still working to establish a casualty count, but one of Ukraine’s richest business owners, Oleksiy Vadaturskyi, and his wife, were said to be among the dead.

Vadaturskyi’s company, Nibulon, which confirmed the deaths, has built storage facilities and other infrastructure needed to export grain. He was killed just as the first shipments of grain since the beginning of the war were being loaded onto freighters at Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea after a monthslong blockade.

It was not clear if Vadaturskyi was directly targeted or if he was, like many other civilians killed by Russian bombs, just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Also Sunday, Moscow accused Ukraine of being behind a drone attack on its Black Sea Fleet headquarters in occupied Crimea, and Ukrainian officials said there was growing evidence that a deadly explosion last week at a Russian prison camp was ordered and carried out by Russian forces.

In Donetsk, Ukrainian authorities said Zelenskyy’s evacuation order this weekend was a bid both to save civilian lives and to free up valuable resources for an escalation of fighting ahead.

But customers are dwindling as Russian rockets have hit the area with growing intensity. “We’ve had to manage by our own devices,” Natasha said.

The family has lived through the turmoil of war before. In 2014, pro-Russian separatists seized parts of Donetsk and in the fighting that ensued their house was destroyed. The separatists evacuated the family, with the four children they had at the time, to Crimea. Later they were moved to Russia.

Some of their friends who had also been evacuated stayed in Russia and acquired Russian citizenship, but Natasha and Oleh decided to return to Ukraine, where the Red Cross helped rebuild their home.

“I wanted to eat sala and our own apricots,” she said.

Pelosi trip to Taiwan would test China’s appetite for confrontation

By CHRIS BUCKLEY

S

oon after Beijing’s last big confrontation with Washington over Taiwan, Xi Jinping, then a rising official in a Chinese province that faces the disputed island, joined a reserve artillery division and later had himself photographed in military greens, cap turned backward as he peered through the sights of an anti-aircraft gun.

Looking tough toward the self-ruled island, Xi learned long before he became China’s top leader, is essential for political survival in the ruling Communist Party.

That lesson hangs over him as he weighs how to react if Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker, travels to Taiwan during a tour of Asian nations that began Monday in Singapore. She would be the most senior U.S. official to visit the island since 1997, when a previous speaker, Newt Gingrich, visited.

Xi has cast himself as the standardbearer of a sacred cause — unifying Taiwan with China — and Beijing regards visits to the island by U.S. officials as an affront to that claim. China’s foreign ministry has warned Pelosi of “serious consequences” if, as expected, she goes to Taiwan, and China’s military has issued vague warnings of readiness to defend national sovereignty.

But Xi is also confronting a brittle economic and political moment, and careening into a crisis over Taiwan could damage him, even as he rallies nationalist support.

He is focused on a Communist Party congress later this year, when he is highly likely to secure backing for a third term as the party’s general secretary, bucking the two-term precedent set by his predecessor.

He wants to orchestrate sweeping acclaim from officials to lock in that new five-year term and ensure he dominates decisions on the leadership lineup.

His record has attracted murmured doubts, however, as China’s growth has faltered under COVID outbreaks and shutdowns, and as Russia’s grinding war in Ukraine has prompted questions about Xi’s closeness to President Vladimir Putin. Now, Pelosi’s potential meeting with Taiwanese leaders could further challenge Xi. If Pelosi follows through — she has not confirmed whether she will visit Taiwan — Xi is likely to use displays of military might to convey Beijing’s anger while seeking to avoid a volatile standoff that would spook markets and drag down China’s economy, experts said.

“There will be a very strong reaction, for

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Capitol Hill in Washington, July 28, 2022. Pelosi has not confirmed whether she will visit Taiwan during her Asia tour this week. sure, but it will not be out of control,” said Chen Dingding, an international relations professor at Jinan University in southern China.

Xi appeared to signal his concerns last week, when he told President Joe Biden in a call not to “play with fire” and risk self-immolation over Taiwan. It was ominous language, but the same wording that Xi used in a call with the U.S. president in November. Neither Xi nor Biden mentioned Pelosi in their public accounts of their conversation.

“This is really midlevel warning rhetoric, not high-level warning rhetoric signaling an appetite for war-level risks,” said David Gitter, the president of the Center for Advanced China Research, a nonprofit research institute. “It doesn’t suggest that they’re about to do something very crazy — like directly threaten the speaker’s safety.”

The Chinese government perhaps gave a foretaste of how it would respond if she visits when the military announced live-fire exercises in waters 80 miles from neighboring Taiwan’s coast. On Monday, the 95th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army, Chinese military media unleashed more statements about defending sovereignty, as well as video of China’s Dongfeng-17 ballistic missile. Chinese television also issued an unflattering video profile of Pelosi.

“We once again sternly warn the U.S. side that China stands at the ready and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army will never sit idly by,” Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for the Chinese foreign ministry, told reporters in

Beijing on Monday about Pelosi’s possible visit. “China will take resolute and vigorous countermeasures to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

But for now, at least, the Communist Party’s main newspapers have not published editorials about Pelosi’s possible visit that would signal a major escalation; nor has the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued anything like the authoritative statement that deepened a standoff over Taiwan in 1995.

While Xi seems not to want to court a crisis, said Bonnie S. Glaser, the director of the Asia Program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, “if PLA aircraft approach Taiwan in ways that differ from the past, and if they enter into Taiwan’s territorial airspace, an incident could happen, whether Xi wants one or not.”

In the rolling Taiwan crisis of 1995-96, China held military exercises off Taiwan, and the United States sent naval ships to deter China. Beijing was irate after the Clinton administration allowed Taiwan’s president, Lee Teng-hui, to visit the United States, and Chinese leaders conducted menacing missile tests in what appeared to be an effort to hurt Lee in Taiwan’s 1996 presidential election.

Instead, he won.

Back then, Xi was an official in Fujian province, facing Taiwan, and often courted investors from the island. He became the top political officer of a People’s Liberation Army reserve anti-aircraft division there in 1996, after he had become deputy party secretary of the province.

“We must clearly understand the severe

direction of struggle in the Taiwan Strait,” Xi told division officers in 2001, according to a China News Service report at the time. “Only by really preparing to fight is peace possible.”

Even if Pelosi cancels her visit or it passes without crisis, many experts believe that rising tensions over the future of the island make conflict increasingly likely in coming years.

Xi has laid out eventual unification with Taiwan as one of his guiding goals for China’s “national rejuvenation” as a modern, unified superpower. He has said he wants to absorb Taiwan peacefully at some unspecified time in the future but does not rule out force.

China’s military modernization is approaching a point where an invasion of the island is conceivable, though still daunting and risk filled.

“The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation won’t be an effortless task achieved just by fanfare of gongs and drums,” he told officials in Beijing last week in a theme-setting speech for the party congress.

Biden told reporters last month that “the military thinks it’s not a good idea right now” for Pelosi to go to Taiwan, and administration officials are said to have tried to persuade her not to visit. After Biden’s phone call with Xi last week, the U.S. account of the exchange “suggested that Biden made clear he is not looking for a fight with China over Taiwan right now,” said Ryan Hass, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former director for China on the National Security Council.

Xi’s options to retaliate include holding menacing military exercises, perhaps in seas and skies closer to Taiwan. He could also send more planes and ships near Taiwan, including by crossing the median line in the Taiwan Strait, an informal boundary that Chinese forces cross only infrequently.

After other American politicians and foreign delegations have visited Taiwan, Beijing has escalated flights into Taiwan’s “air defense identification zone,” an area that goes well beyond the island’s sovereign airspace, said Gerald Brown, a military analyst in Washington who collects and analyzes data on those flights. In November, China sent 27 military planes into the zone soon after U.S. lawmakers visited Taipei.

At an extreme, China could also fire missiles near Taiwan, as in 1996. Back then, though, China’s military was too weak to seriously threaten U.S. forces across the region.

If Xi did the same now, the global shock waves could be much bigger.

In widening crackdown, renowned journalist arrested in Guatemala

By OSCAR LÓPEZ

I

n another sign of growing political repression in Guatemala, authorities have arrested an award-winning journalist who was critical of the government and raided the offices of the newspaper he founded.

José Rubén Zamora, president of the elPeriódico newspaper, was arrested at his home in Guatemala City on Friday night on charges including possible money laundering, blackmail and influence peddling, according to the Guatemalan attorney general’s office.

“There must be a conspiracy, a persecution,” Zamora told reporters outside his home as he was being held by police. “If that’s the case, we must pay for the love of Guatemala with jail time.”

Zamora’s arrest is the latest move by Guatemalan authorities to stifle political dissent and crush attempts to expose graft in the government of President Alejandro Giammattei, which has become an increasing challenge for the Biden administration and its goal of stamping out corruption in Central America.

In May, the State Department announced sanctions against the country’s attorney general, María Consuelo Porras, accusing her of involvement in “significant corruption” and of attempting to derail investigations into graft, by the firing of prosecutors and more.

“During her tenure, Porras repeatedly obstructed and undermined anticorruption investigations in Guatemala to protect her political allies and gain undue political favor,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.

The sanctions appeared to have little effect.

Earlier this month, Porras ousted eight prosecutors in a matter of weeks, according to Human Rights Watch, including Hilda Pineda, who had taken former President Efraín Ríos Montt to court for crimes including genocide.

As well as arresting Zamora, authorities detained an assistant prosecutor in the special prosecutor’s office against impunity, Samari Carolina Gómez Díaz, for “revealing confidential information,” Rafael Curruchiche, who leads the anti-impunity office, said in a

Earlier this month, Curruchiche was placed on a State Department list of people from Central America accused of having “knowingly engaged in acts that threaten democratic processes or institutions, engaged in significant corruption, or obstructed investigations,” barring them from entry into the U.S. In the video statement, Curruchiche repeatedly insisted that Zamora’s arrest “has no relation to his work as a journalist” but was instead related to “his posi-

tion as a businessman.”

Under Zamora’s leadership, elPeriodico had reported on several allegations of corruption within the Giammattei administration, including within the prosecutor’s office, and his sudden arrest was widely criticized by human rights groups.

“This case could be a breaking point for the guarantees of freedom of expression in Guatemala,” Juan Pappier, senior Americas researcher at Human Rights Watch, said in an email. “If this conti-

nues like this, there will soon be no one who can effectively expose and curb corruption and abuse of power in the country.”

Beyond arresting Zamora, Guatemalan authorities also raided elPeriodico’s offices Friday evening, forcing some 30 employees out of the building, while several others were held inside the offices all night with their phones taken away, the newspaper reported.

The Association of Guatemalan Journalists said in a statement that the raid was carried out “to censor the Saturday print edition of elPeriodico.”

“The accusations against Zamora and elPeriodico are part of a campaign of persecution, criminalization and censorship,” the statement read, “against media outlets and journalists that do not bow to the interests of state authorities.”

Zamora has been internationally recognized for his work in Guatemala, with honors including the Maria Moors Cabot Prize from Columbia University and an International Press Freedom Award from the Committee to Protect Journalists.

In a video posted on social media Saturday, Zamora spoke from behind bars, saying he would begin a hunger strike in protest of his arrest.

“Let me die if necessary,” he said.

“But let there be justice.”

Brittney Griner and the total lopsidedness of prisoner swaps with Russia

By SERGE SCHMEMANN

R

eports are circulating that the United States is negotiating with Russia to exchange two Americans being held in Russian prisons for a notorious arms dealer serving time in America. The deal is totally lopsided: The two Americans — basketball star Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan, a security company executive — are not criminals and certainly not remotely comparable to Viktor Bout, a notorious purveyor of arms to terrorists once known as the “Merchant of Death.”

But if that’s the way to get American citizens out of a Russian prison, do it. The only caveat, an urgent one, would be to include in the deal Marc Fogel, an American teacher sentenced to an absurd 14 years in prison for taking marijuana into Russia. His infractions are similar to the ones Griner, 31, is charged with. She was detained in February with two hashish oil vape cartridges in her luggage; Fogel, 61, was carrying 14 vape cartridges of marijuana and some cannabis buds.

Both say they need cannabis for dealing with injuries and pain. But for reasons the State Department has not clarified, the U.S. government has designated Griner and Whelan as “wrongfully detained” but not Fogel. Secretary of State Antony Blinken did not mention this third American prisoner during a recent news conference, in which he said he intended to take up the matter of a swap for Griner and Whelan with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov of Russia.

Fogel was a popular teacher at the Anglo-American School in Moscow (not a U.S. Embassy employee, according to The Washington Post, as some reports described him) who’d had surgeries on his back and shoulder and a knee replacement, and was taking medical marijuana for pain. Griner, a WNBA star, testified that she used marijuana on the advice of a doctor.

Griner and Fogel were arrested on charges related to possession of the marijuana found in their luggage on arrival at the Moscow airport, and both pleaded guilty.

Whelan, a former Marine who worked as director of global security and investigations for BorgWarner and had visited Russia several times, was arrested in 2018 and sentenced to 16 years for spying. He denies the charge.

The issue, however, is not whether the three American prisoners are guilty. Nor should efforts to free Americans held in repressive countries be based on their celebrity or the publicity generated by their arrests.

The Russian justice system — like those in China and Iran, other countries with which the United States has organized prisoner swaps — is notoriously political, and

any American imprisoned in those countries, guilty or not, is likely being held either for propaganda purposes or as hostages to exchange for imprisoned Russians.

Such swaps are hardly new, so precedent is not an issue. In a celebrated swap 60 years ago, Rudolf Abel, a Soviet spy, was exchanged for Francis Gary Powers, the American pilot of a downed U-2 spy plane; among the more famous ones that followed was the exchange of Jewish dissident Natan Sharansky for a Czech caught spying for the Soviet Union.

In September 1986, when I was a correspondent in the Soviet Union, a friend and colleague, Nicholas Daniloff, who was a correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, was framed by a phony dissident and arrested on charges of espionage. By no coincidence, a Soviet employee of the Soviet mission to the United Nations was arrested three days earlier on spying charges. The two were quickly swapped, and at a news conference on his release, Daniloff said that the KGB was always prepared to nab someone for such an exchange.

“They could have chosen Serge Schmemann,” he said, and in fact, the decoy dissident had tried to contact me as well.

Most recently, Trevor Reed, a former U.S. Marine held for two years in Russia on what his family described as phony charges of assault, was swapped in April for a Russian pilot convicted of drug trafficking.

The swaps are rarely even. Bout, the Russian who is mooted as the price for freeing the Americans, was notorious in the chaotic years after the collapse of the Soviet Union as an arms dealer to, according to U.S. prosecutors, armed groups and terrorists. Arrested in Thailand in 2008, he was extradited to the United States a couple of years later, charged with supplying arms to Colombian rebels for use against American citizens and officers, among other charges, and sentenced to 25 years in prison, which he has been serving in Illinois.

It would be painful for prosecutors and those who suffered in the violence he profited from to release him in exchange for people who should not have been imprisoned at all. Fogel, if he serves his full sentence in Russia, could well die in prison.

It may be that by agreeing to swap prisoners with autocrats, the United States encourages them to grab more hostages. But it is more important that American citizens should know that if they are imprisoned in a country with a dubious legal system, the U.S. government will do all it can to get them back. “I am an American citizen” should carry the full faith and promise of the U.S. government, no matter where in the world those words are spoken. And that is as true for Fogel as it is for Griner or Whelan.

America has a problem and Beyoncé ain’t it

By WESLEY MORRIS

I

t’s too much, this being alive. Too heavy, too uncertain, too chronically cataclysmic, too bellicose, too unwell, too freighted with a possibility of the perception of error. The word of the last few years — in American activist and academic circles, anyway — has been “precarity.” Which gets at ideas of endangerment, neglect, contingency, risk. Basically: We’re worried. And: We’re worried you’re not worried enough. Like I said: It’s too much.

If I were a globally famous musician whose every blink gets inspected for Meaning, now might be the time to discover how it feels to mean something else, to seem lighter, to float, to bob, splash, writhe and grind, to sashay-shanté. To find “new salvation” in building her “own foundation.”

Were I that musician, now might be the time to call my freestyle jam “America Has a Problem” and not say what the problem is because A) Psyche! B) What I’ma say you don’t already know? And C) The person actually performing this song knows “that booty gon’ do what it want to.” Now’s the time to work your body in lieu of losing more of your mind. “America” is one of the closing tracks on “Renaissance,” Beyoncé’s seventh solo studio album, the one where she surveys the stakes and concludes they’re too damn high. Now’s the time to remind yourself — to be “telling everybody,” as she sings on the first single, “Break My Soul” — that there’s no discourse without disco.

What a good time this thing is. All 16 songs hail from someplace with a dance floor — nightclubs, strip clubs, ballrooms, basements, Tatooine. Most of them are steeped in or conducted entirely with Black queer bravado. And on nearly every one, Beyoncé sounds like she’s experiencing something personally new and privately glorious: unmitigated ecstasy. It takes different forms: bliss, obviously; but a sexy sternness, too.

The exercise of control is as entertaining on this album as the exorcism of stress.

As expensive, production-wise, as “Renaissance” sounds (one song credits two dozen writers, including samples and interpolations), Beyoncé’s singing here transcends any price tag.

The range of her voice nears the galactic; the imagination powering it qualifies as cinema. She coos, she growls, she snarls, she doubles and triples herself. Butter, mustard, foie gras, the perfect ratio of icing to cupcake.

At about the halfway point, something arrives called “Plastic Off the Sofa.” Now, part of me wept because those are words she doesn’t even bother to sing. Plastic off the sofa? Got you again! The rest of me wept because the singing she does do — in waves of rhapsodically long, Olympic-level emissions — seems to emanate from somewhere way beyond a human throat: The ocean? The oven? But this is one of the few songs that sound recorded with live instruments — plinking guitar and some pitter-pat percussion. (The musical plastic comes off the album’s sofa.) The bass line keeps swelling and curving and blooming till it outgrows its flower bed, and Beyoncé’s voice does, too. It surfs the swells. It smells the roses. “Renaissance” turns to gospel here and there — on “Church Girl,” most brazenly. This is the only one that sounds like it was recorded in Eden.

It takes a minute for all the rapture on “Renaissance” to

On nearly every track on her new album, “Renaissance,” Beyoncé sounds like she’s experiencing something personally new and privately glorious: unmitigated ecstasy. kick in. First comes a mission statement (“I’m That Girl”) wherein Beyoncé warns that love is her drug. Then it’s on to “Cozy,” an in-the-making anthem about Black femmes luxuriating in their skin. This one has a bottom as heavy as a cast-iron skillet and a bounce the Richter scale couldn’t ignore. “Cozy” is about comfort but sounds like an oncoming army. The first true exhalation is “Cuff It,” a roller-skate jam held aloft by Nile Rodgers’ signature guitar flutter while a fleet of horns offer afterburn. Here, Beyoncé wants to go out and have an unprintably good time.

And it’s contagious enough to overthink a throwaway line like “I wanna go missing” later, when I’m sober.

Comedy abounds. Thank the sampled contributions of Big Freedia and Ts Madison for that. “Dark skin, light skin, beige” — Madison drawls on “Cozy” — “fluorescent beige.” Thank the tabloid-TV keyboard blasts on “America Has a Problem.”

But Beyoncé herself has never been funnier than she is here.

The sternness she applies to the word “No” on “America” alone would be enough. But there’s her impersonation of Grace Jones’ imperiousness on “Move,” some sharp-elbowed dancehall refraction in which the two of them command the plebes to “part like the Red Sea” when the queen comes through. (Here’s me not touching who the queen is in that scenario.) Pop music has been tattooed with Jones’ influence for 45 years. This is one of the few mainstream acknowledgments of her bounteous musical might. There’s also Beyoncé’s vamp at the end of “Heated,”

which she recites to the crack of a splayed hand fan. It’s one of those round-table freestyles that go down at some balls. A fraction of hers includes: “Unnncle Jonny made my dress/That cheap spandex/She looks a mess.”

This is an album whose big idea is house. And its sense of house is enormous. It’s mansion music. “Renaissance” is adjacent to where pop’s been: pulsing and throbbing. Its muscles are larger, its limbs flexier, its ego secure. I don’t hear marketplace concerns. Its sense of adventure is off the genre’s map, yet very much aware of every coordinate. It’s an achievement of synthesis that never sounds slavish or synthetic. These songs are testing this music, celebrating how capacious it is, how pliable. That might be why I like “Break My Soul” so much. It’s Track 6, but it feels like the album’s thematic spine. It’s got tenderness, resolve and ideas — Beyoncé brokering two different approaches to church.

On “Pure/Honey” Beyoncé breaks through wall after wall until she gets to the chamber that holds all the cousins of her 2013 sizzler “Blow.” It ends with her lilting next to a sample of the drag artist Moi Renee bellowing, “Miss Honey? Miss Honey!” And it’s as close to the B-52’s as a Beyoncé song might ever come. (But Kate, Cindy, Fred, Keith: Call her anyway!)

The album’s embrace of house and not, say, trap unambiguously aligns Beyoncé with queer Black folks. On the one hand, that means she’s simply an elite pop star with particularly avid support. But “Renaissance” is more than fan service. It’s oriented toward certain histories. The knotty symbiosis between cis women and gay men is one. The doors of impersonation and tribute revolve with centrifugal force.

With Beyoncé, her drag seems liberating rather than obfuscating. It’s not just these lesser-known gay and trans artists and personalities her music has absorbed. It’s other artists. On “Blow,” Beyoncé wondered how it felt for her partner when he made love to her. Now the wonder is: How does it feel for her to make love — and art — sometimes as somebody else? The album’s final song is “Summer Renaissance,” and it opens with the thrum of Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love.” It’s not the first time she’s quoted La Donna. But the nod is not only there, where the reference is explicit. It’s in the album’s rich middle, which includes that sofa song and “Virgo’s Groove,” maybe the most luscious track Beyoncé’s ever recorded. This is to say that “Renaissance” is an album about performance — of other pop’s past, but ultimately of Beyoncé, a star who’s now 40, an age when the real risk is in acting like you’ve got nothing to lose.

Another history is right there in the album’s title: 100 years ago, when things were also too much for Black Americans — lynchings, “race riots” all over the country — and flight north from the South seemed like a sound alternative to murder, up in Harlem, Alain Locke and Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes and Aaron Douglas and Jessie Fauset, to pick five figures, were at the center of an explosion of art that could be as frivolous, party-hearty and vulgar as some of what’s on this album. Its artists were gay and straight and whatever was in between. The point is they called that a renaissance, too. It sustained and delivered delight and provocation in spite of the surrounding crisis, it gave people looking for a house something that approximates home. New salvation, old foundation.

Nichelle Nichols, Lieutenant Uhura on ‘Star Trek,’ dies at 89

By BRUCE WEBER

N

ichelle Nichols, the actress revered by “Star Trek” fans everywhere for her role as Lieutenant Uhura, communications officer on the starship USS Enterprise, died Saturday in Silver City, New Mexico. She was 89.

The cause was heart failure, said Sky Conway, a writer and a film producer who was asked by Kyle Johnson, Nichols’ son, to speak for the family.

Nichols had a long career as an entertainer, beginning as a teenage supper-club singer and dancer in Chicago, her hometown, and later appearing on television.

But she will forever be best remembered for her work on “Star Trek,” the cult-inspiring space adventure series that aired from 1966-69 and starred William Shatner as Captain Kirk, the heroic leader of the starship crew; Leonard Nimoy (who died in 2015) as his science officer and adviser, Mr. Spock, an ultralogical humanoid from the planet Vulcan; and DeForest Kelley (who died in 1999) as Dr. McCoy, aka Bones, the ship’s physician.

A striking beauty, Nichols provided a frisson of sexiness on the bridge of the Enterprise. She was generally clad in a snug red doublet and black tights; on its 1967 cover, Ebony magazine called her the “most heavenly body in ‘Star Trek.’”

Her role, however, was both substantial and historically significant.

Uhura was an officer and a highly educated and welltrained technician who maintained a businesslike demeanor while performing her high-minded duties. Nichols was among the first Black women to have a leading role on a network television series, making her an anomaly on the small screen, which until that time had rarely depicted Black women in anything other than subservient roles.

In a November 1968 episode, during the show’s third and final season, Captain Kirk and Lieutenant Uhura are forced to embrace by the inhabitants of a strange planet, resulting in what is widely thought to be the first interracial kiss in television history.

Nichols’ first appearances on “Star Trek” predated the 1968 sitcom “Julia,” in which Diahann Carroll, playing a widowed mother who works as a nurse, became the first Black woman to star in a nonstereotypical role in a network series.

Grace Dell Nichols was born in Robbins, Illinois, on Dec. 28, 1932 (some sources give a later year), and grew up in Chicago. Her father was, for a time, the mayor of Robbins, and a chemist. At 13 or 14, tired of being called Gracie by her friends, she requested a different name from her mother, who liked Michelle but suggested Nichelle for the alliteration.

She was a ballet dancer as a child and had a singing voice with a naturally wide range — more than four octaves, she later said. While still attending Englewood High School, she landed her first professional gig in a revue at the College Inn, a well-known Chicago night spot.

There she was seen by Duke Ellington, who employed

Nichelle Nichols made history for her role as communications officer Lt. Uhura on Star Trek. her a year or two later with his touring orchestra as a dancer in one of his jazz suites.

Nichols appeared in several musical theater productions around the country during the 1950s. In an interview with the Archive of American Television, she recalled performing at the Playboy Club in New York City while serving as an understudy for Carroll in the Broadway musical “No Strings” (although she never went on).

In 1959, she was a dancer in Otto Preminger’s film version of “Porgy and Bess.” She made her television debut in 1963 in an episode of “The Lieutenant,” a short-lived dramatic series about Marines at California’s Camp Pendleton and created by Gene Roddenberry, who went on create “Star Trek.”

Uhura was to be her legacy: A decade after “Star Trek” went off the air, Nichols reprised the role in “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” and she appeared as Uhura, by then a commander, in five subsequent movie sequels through 1991.

Besides a son, her survivors include two sisters, Marian Smothers and Diane Robinson.

Nichols was married and divorced twice. In her 1995 autobiography, “Beyond Uhura: Star Trek and Other Memories,” she disclosed that she and Roddenberry, who died in 1991, had been romantically involved for a time. In an interview in 2010 for the Archive of American Television, she said that he had little to do with her casting in “Star Trek” but that he defended her when studio executives wanted to replace her.

At the time she took the role of Uhura, Nichols said, she thought of it as a mere job, valuable as a resume enhancer, but she fully intended to return to the stage; she wanted a career on Broadway. Indeed, she threatened to leave the show after its first season and gave Roddenberry her resignation. He told her to think it over for a few days.

In a story she often told, that Saturday night, she was a guest at an event in Beverly Hills — “I believe it was an NAACP fundraiser,” she recalled in the Archive interview — where the organizer introduced her to someone he described as “your biggest fan.”

“He’s desperate to meet you,” she recalled the organizer saying.

The fan, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., introduced himself.

“He said, ‘We admire you greatly, you know,’” Nichols said, and she thanked him and told him that she was about to leave the show. “He said, ‘You cannot. You cannot.’”

King told her that her role as a dignified, authoritative figure in a popular show was too important to the cause of civil rights for her to forgo. As Nichols recalled it, he said, “For the first time, we will be seen on television the way we should be seen every day.”

On Monday morning, she returned to Roddenberry’s office and told him what had happened.

“And I said, ‘If you still want me to stay, I’ll stay. I have to.’”

The dog lawyer doesn’t care that you hate him

Lawyer Richard Rosenthal, with his greyhounds Bugsy and Louis, in Huntington, N.Y., on May 16, 2022. In defending dogs at all costs, Richard Rosenthal has made a lot of enemies, but his animal clients owe him their lives.

By HOPE CORRIGAN

T

he case before the court involved a Rhode Island greyhound named Lexus, accused of killing a Pomeranian in a dog park. The prosecution was asking for the death penalty, and a lawyer for the defense, Richard Rosenthal, was there to stop it.

It soon became clear that the defense was prepared to exhaust every possible legal means to free the greyhound — to turn it, in Rosenthal’s words, into a “federal case.” So Lexus was granted a stay of execution, but on the condition that Rosenthal remove the greyhound from the state “by the most direct route without stopping, never to return.” This was his first case as a dog lawyer, and what he calls his first “get-out-of-town-by-sundown order.”

It would be the first of many.

As an animal attorney for more than a decade, Rosenthal takes on custody cases, sues veterinary clinics for malpractice and has made a specialty of defending dangerous dogs. In doing so, he often enrages local officials, animal control officers and district attorneys. But even animal rights groups have expressed frustration with him.

“I’m a hired gun,” Rosenthal said,

acknowledging his reputation as the goto lawyer to get dogs off death row. “If I take a case, it’s about winning. I take it because I believe in it.”

Lexus the greyhound’s case was a turning point for Rosenthal. After that, he and his wife, Robin Mittasch, founded the Lexus Project in 2009, a nonprofit that provides legal representation for dogs ordered to be euthanized. It turned out there was a market for his services. He soon received a phone call about Luna, a husky ordered to be put down for killing chickens. He was called to Connecticut to defend a golden retriever named Buddy.

That case played out dramatically in the local papers. Buddy had knocked down an older woman, and the woman’s son wanted Buddy put down. The Lexus Project issued an over-the-top response on Facebook, posting images of the gates of Auschwitz superimposed over the town seal of Milford, Connecticut. (“I can’t say enough bad things about Connecticut,” Rosenthal said. “They’ve never met a dog they didn’t want to kill.”) A judge granted Buddy a reprieve, provided the Lexus Project removed the dog from Connecticut immediately.

Word got around. Cases began flooding in from around the country. One

in particular inspired Rosenthal to abandon his 30-year family and criminal law practice to go into animal law full time.

It is not remotely a feel-good story.

The case involved an enormous dog in Nevada named Onion, a 120-pound mastiffRhodesian ridgeback mix. Onion killed his owner’s 1-year-old grandson after the child stumbled and startled the sleeping dog. Rosenthal and a local lawyer argued that the dog was not vicious but had reacted the way any animal might when startled. The case went to the Nevada Supreme Court. There, the child’s grandmother made it clear she didn’t want the dog euthanized; despite losing her grandson, she had a strong attachment to the dog, which she adopted as a puppy when she received a cancer diagnosis. Eventually, the county dropped the case rather than force the grieving family to appear in court, and Onion was sent to a rescue sanctuary in Colorado.

“In Onion’s case, it was an unfortunate accident,” Rosenthal said. “It was a horrible tragedy. But there was nothing vicious about it.”

Lawyer Richard Rosenthal at his office in Huntington Station, N.Y., on May 16, 2022. “If I take a case, it’s about winning,” Rosenthal said, “I take it because I believe in it.”

In such cases, Rosenthal employs the same dispassionate legal argument every time. He allows that it is a tragedy when a dog injures or kills another dog or, worse, a person; but he says all circumstances must be considered before the dog is euthanized. It’s a position that doesn’t always play well with the public. “​​With Onion, we got hate mail,” he said.

“We got death threats.”

The history of animal law in the United States can be reasonably traced to a landmark 1972 case brought by a constitutional lawyer named Henry Holzer, who sought to end kosher slaughter, a practice that he argued did not render livestock unconscious before killing them. Holzer lost the case, but it was the beginning of a new wave of lawsuits that protected the interests of animals, rather than simply a person’s interest in relation to an animal.

Soon after, Helen Jones, a founder of the Humane Society of the United States, sought to shut down three New York City zoos. In 1975, the first animal law class was offered at Seton Hall Law School in New Jersey. The specialty quickly expanded to address animal abuse, laboratory testing, captive animals, wildlife and companion animals. In 1979, a network of animal lawyers created the Animal Legal Defense Fund, which focuses on both litigation and advocacy. The ALDF currently has over 2,600 pro bono attorney members.

Today, animal law is expanding rapidly. More than 160 law schools in the United States offer at least one animal law class; the Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon, has the most extensive program, with 25 animal law courses.

More law schools are following suit: In 2021, Harvard Law School’s Animal Law and Policy program received a $10 million endowment. Last month, the George Washington University Law School and the Animal Legal Defense Fund teamed up to open a new animal law program.

Thompson Page, an animal attorney in Connecticut, regularly serves as cocounsel with Rosenthal (who is licensed to practice only in New York and several federal districts). He and Rosenthal founded the Center for Animal Litigation,

The San Juan Daily Star a nonprofit network of lawyers that, like the Animal Legal Defense Fund, works pro bono on animal cases around the country.

“It’s David versus Goliath every day,” Page said. “We are civil rights lawyers for four-legged creatures.”

The two men have been friends for years, and Rosenthal is described by Page as having a “creative legal mind” with a deep understanding of the law and how to apply it. Page points out that A sign at lawyer Richard Rosenthal’s endangered species and farm animals ofhome in Huntington, N.Y., on May 16, ten get the most legal attention and, to 2022. some extent, public sympathy.

adoption community. In addition to his founding of the Lexus Project, Rosenthal is a licensed pilot who tells stories of using his personal aircraft, a single-engine ex-military Navion F, to transport dozens of dogs from shelters to adopters. He has also flown with Pilots N Paws, an organization that enlists private pilots to help with rescued animal transportation. He no longer flies these transport missions, however. In 2017, Rosenthal was the sole survivor of a Long Island plane crash that killed the two other passengers on board. There were no animal casualties, but he has not flown since the crash.

Rosenthal estimates that he takes 20 to 30 animal cases per year. Aside from handling general counsel work for several doctor’s offices on Long Island, pet custody cases are where Rosenthal makes his money. “Pet custody starts at around five grand and can get to ridiculous numbers when you have two sides with two attorneys willing to fight,” he said.

But there are obstacles to being a dog lawyer. Courts generally do not grant animals habeas corpus, or the right to a trial — a significant barrier to litigating animal law. Recently, a high-profile case surrounding Happy, an elephant at the Bronx Zoo, brought the issue of personhood into public view and tested the boundaries of applying human rights to animals. Advocates at the Nonhuman Rights Project, the organization repre-

senting Happy, argued that the elephant recognizes her reflection in a mirror, indicating she has self-awareness and consciousness and should be released from captivity to an elephant sanctuary. The New York Court of Appeals rejected the argument, ruling 5-2 that Happy is not a person, at least not in the legal sense.

This is where progressive animal law theories and Rosenthal’s approach diverge. He is quick to draw a distinction between successful litigation and advocacy that relies on animal law to change court definitions of personhood, an effort that he deems an “intellectual pursuit.”

“I am an oddity in animal law in the sense that the holy grail of the animal law is to have animals declared something other than just property,” he said. “What I argue and litigate are strict property concepts.” Litigating animals as property may seem at odds with the ideal of fighting for their rights, but it is often the most efficient way to save the life of a dog.

Unlike the yearslong case pushing for the personhood and release of Happy, Rosenthal’s approach to animal law feels urgent. He said he doesn’t have time to try to convince the court of an animal’s personhood. ​​“The difference is, in my cases, there is a dog or cat that’s going to die if I don’t win,” he said. “So to me, I need to win the case.”

Lawyer Richard Rosenthal takes his dog Louis home from a physical therapy appointment, in Huntington, N.Y., on May 16, 2022. Rosenthal’s animal legal cases surged after he won a reprieve for a golden retriever named Buddy who had knocked a woman down.

A sheet-pan chicken recipe for lovers of sweet and savory

By CAITLIN RAUX GUNTHER

E

very July, I question my sour cherry priorities. Their season is so short, and the fruit so scarce that I rarely get around to making anything beyond one big, gushy pie and a year’s supply of homemade maraschino cherries (musthaves in my Manhattan cocktail).

But maybe, I always think, this is the summer I’ll try something new. Then the urge passes, and I never do.

Last year, though, sour cherry season lingered a little longer than usual in the Northeast, so I was able to squeeze one more recipe into the lineup. I considered jam, a cordial, even meatballs before settling on sheet-pan chicken.

Of the approximately 1 gazillion sheet-pan chicken variations I’ve cooked, sour cherries never made it into the mix.

But I knew that their tangy juices would work well with the chicken fat sizzling at the bottom of the pan.

To accentuate the cherries’ sweetand-sour character, I simmered them briefly with rice vinegar, sugar and a bay leaf. Then I spooned them over a pan full of boneless, skinless chicken thighs and red onion wedges.

As it all roasted, the smell of caramelized fruit and browned-edged chicken filled the kitchen, making me want to stay close enough to breathe it all in. I took advantage by throwing together an ad hoc sauce from thick Greek yogurt, slivered cucumber and more of that sweetened vinegar-bay leaf solution I’d used for the cherries. Dolloped on the chicken, it was a cooling, creamy counterpart to the roasted thighs, zippy cherries and soft strands of red onion.

My family ate it with a torn-up baguette to catch all the drippings, and we all agreed: It was a marvelous summer meal — even at the expense of a batch of cherry jam.

I was so taken with this dish that I tried to create something similar after sour cherry season had passed. I tried red and green grapes, then sweet cherries, then cherry tomatoes. All were good. But none matched the intense sweet-tart character of the sour cherries. (Note that I did not try this dish with thawed frozen sour cherries. I didn’t have any.)

This year, as sour cherry season ap-

Chicken thighs with sour cherries and cucumber yogurt, in New York, June 28, 2022.

Roasted chicken thighs are paired with tangy sour cherries and finished with a creamy, cooling cucumber yogurt in this balanced weeknight meal. proached once again, I worried I’d have to choose between pie, cocktails and my new favorite sheet-pan dinner.

Luckily, the market yielded enough cherries for me to make them all.

Chicken Thighs With Sour Cherries and Cucumber Yogurt If you’re lucky enough to have more sour cherries than you need to make a pie, save them for this sweet and tangy chicken dish. The cherries are briefly simmered with sugar, vinegar and a bay leaf, then added to a sheet pan to roast alongside boneless, skinless chicken thighs and wedges of red onion. As they cook, the cherries absorb the chicken juices, becoming very savory and concentrated.

Then, the whole thing is topped with dollops of cooling cucumber yogurt. Serve it with bread or rice to catch the juices

at the bottom of the pan. If you can’t get sour cherries, you can substitute seedless red or green grapes.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings Total time: 45 minutes 2 to 2 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 large red onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch wedges 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more as needed 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, plus more as needed 2 tablespoons minced tarragon, plus more for serving 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving 1/3 cup unseasoned rice vinegar 3 to 4 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 bay leaf 2 cups thinly sliced cucumbers, preferably Persian cucumbers 2 cups sour cherries, stemmed and pitted 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt Flaky sea salt, for serving (optional) 1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine chicken and onion on a rimmed sheet pan. Toss with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Add tarragon and 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, and toss to combine. Let stand at room temperature

while preparing other ingredients.

2. In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, bay leaf and remaining 1 teaspoon salt over mediumhigh heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently to dissolve sugar.

3. Place sliced cucumbers in medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the vinegar solution to cucumbers and toss. Set aside.

4. Return pan to medium-low heat and add another tablespoon sugar. Once sugar dissolves, stir in cherries. Cook until cherries are slightly broken down, 3 to 4 minutes. Taste and add more sugar if the cherries still seem very tart. (You’re not looking for them to be sweet, just balanced.)

5. Spoon cherries and their juices around chicken and onions. (It’s OK if some cherries are on top of chicken and onions.) Roast until chicken is cooked through and cherries and onions are lightly browned in spots, 30 to 35 minutes. Give the dish a big stir and spoon the savory pan juices all over the top of the chicken.

6. While the chicken is roasting, stir yogurt and remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the bowl with the pickled cucumbers. Season with a large pinch of salt and black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, stir well, taste and add more salt if needed.

7. Top chicken and cherries with a large dollop of cucumber yogurt, more tarragon and a drizzle of olive oil, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt or more kosher salt, if you like.

And to Drink …

This combination of sweet-and-savory chicken and fruit, with yogurt and cucumber, feels Mediterranean, maybe even North African or Middle Eastern.

You could eat this with pita bread, and you could definitely drink it with dry rosé — it’s the ideal wine for the mood of this dish and its combination of flavors. The rosé could come from Provence. But even better would be a rosé closer in spirit to this dish, maybe a Lebanese, Greek or Israeli bottle. A white or fresh red would also be fine, like an assyrtiko or moschofilero from Greece, a sauvignon blanc from the Loire Valley, a dry riesling from Germany or any number of Italian whites. Or perhaps a frappato from Sicily, or a Beaujolais. — ERIC ASIMOV

The foods that keep you hydrated

By HANNAH SEO

W

ith a summer of record-breaking heat upon us, hydration is more important than ever. If you are not taking in enough fluid to produce adequate sweat on a hot day, you may be more vulnerable to heat stroke. Dehydration can be caused by extreme heat, but it can also exacerbate other heat-related conditions such as heat cramps.

So taking in liquids is crucial, but hydration can go beyond simply drinking water. The popular belief that we all need to be drinking eight cups a day to be truly hydrated persists, though it has been debunked again and again.

“There’s really no data behind the eight glasses of water a day thing,” said Dr. Dan Negoianu, a nephrologist at the University of Pennsylvania. For example, “just because your urine is dark, that doesn’t prove that you’re dehydrated.”

Being hydrated simply means consuming enough fluids to the point where you are not thirsty, Negoianu said, and that amount varies for everyone.

There are plenty of things besides plain water that will keep you hydrated, experts say: These include the foods and drinks that appeal to you, the things that will keep you consistently reaching for them. Here are a few suggestions.

Look to your favorite fruits, veggies and drinks “We think that we need to drink a lot of water all the time because we hear that all the time,” said Tamara Hew-Butler, a sports medicine scientist at Wayne State University who specializes in fluid balance. “You gotta drink your eight glasses — hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.”

But any food or drink that has fluid content will be hydrating, she said: “Your body doesn’t care where hydration comes from, it just needs fluid.”

Fresh fruits and vegetables are ideal sources because not only do they tend to hold high water content, but they also have fiber, which provides other benefits for your diet and health. Melons, such as watermelon, honeydew or cantaloupe, are especially juicy. Strawberries, oranges, grapes, cucumbers and celery are also packed with water.

Beverages of all sorts can be hydrating.

Juice, milk, tea and coffee each contain fluids that your body can use. Drinks with high sugar content might not be the best nutritional choice, but research shows that sugar-sweetened beverages are just as good as water at delivering fluids to your system. In the heat of summer,

Water doesn’t have to come in eight 8-ounce glasses daily. of course, frozen desserts such as ice pops and sorbets are handy vessels for liquid consumption.

“You can achieve, and exceed, your daily fluid requirements through the ingestion of beverages and high moisture foods without drinking a single glass of plain water,” Hew-Butler said in an email.

Caffeinated drinks can be hydrating, too.

Though caffeine is often deemed a diuretic, or dehydrating substance, research shows that consuming coffee or other caffeinated beverages has about the same hydrating or dehydrating effects as if you just drank water — especially if you are a regular caffeine consumer.

If you are having a significant amount of caffeine after a long period without it, you might experience a small blip of dehydration, said Kelly Hyndman, a researcher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham who studies kidney function and fluid retention. But otherwise, caffeine will not cause dehydration, she added — at least not at the levels people typically consume it.

Don’t be afraid of savory foods You have probably heard that salty foods are dehydrating, but that is not strictly true, Hyndman said.

Our bodies are constantly looking to maintain a salt-to-water balance, which they do with the help of a number of hormones. One of the most prominent of these is the antidiuretic hormone, or ADH.

When we consume a lot of salty foods at once, our brains will secrete ADH, which in turn tells our kidneys to hold onto water, preventing us from peeing out excess fluid. At the same time, the brain secretes another hormone, vasopressin, which is linked to feelings of thirst.

Together, all these hormones signal that you need more fluids. Consuming too many salty foods is only an issue if you are also ignoring your thirst cues, Hew-Butler said.

If you are looking for savory foods that are hydrating, olives and pickles are acceptable choices, though it is rare that people consume those in large quantities. Soup, especially with

water-based broths, can also help you get your fill of water.

But what is actually dehydrating is alcohol. “Alcohol suppresses ADH,” Hyndman said. So when you consume it, “you don’t have this hormone telling your kidney to reabsorb water” and any fluids you consume will go straight through you.

Make sure kids, the elderly and those with medical needs get their fill “Most of us who say we’re dehydrated probably aren’t,” Hyndman said. While there are probably some people who are walking around a little dehydrated, she added, the majority of folks are adequately hydrated or even a little overhydrated. If you have complained of having a small bladder, or you are just peeing more often than you would like, maybe you do not need to be consuming so much fluid — it is just flowing through you.

Those who need to be most diligent about actively hydrating are children, older adults and people with underlying medical conditions, Hyndman said.

The rest of us simply need to have a drink or eat foods full of fluids when we are thirsty, Hew-Butler said, and trust our instincts. “We don’t need to overthink it,” she said.

“I think the ‘drink when you’re thirsty rule’ is one that’s hard to argue against,” Negoianu said, barring medical conditions or ultra-harsh environments that might cause abnormal water loss. “When it comes to the amount of water you need, it’s like Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” Just as Goldilocks had to decide for herself which porridge was just right, every person has to find the hydration level that is just right for them and their situation.

Fresh fruits and vegetables, and various beverages, are viable sources of hydration.

Splitting T. Rex into 3 species becomes a dinosaur royal rumble

By JACK TAMISIEA

T

he world’s most iconic dinosaur is undergoing an identity crisis.

In February, a team of scientists posited that Tyrannosaurus rex was actually three distinct species. Instead of there being only one sovereign “tyrant lizard king,” their paper made the case for a royal family of supersized predators. Joining the king in the genus Tyrannosaurus would be the bulkier and older emperor, T. imperator, and the slimmer queen, T. regina.

The proposed T. rex reclassification struck the paleontology community like an asteroid, igniting passionate debates.

On July 25, another team of paleontologists published the first peer-reviewed counterattack.

“The evidence was not convincing and had to be responded to because T. rex research goes well beyond science and into the public sphere,” said Thomas Carr, a paleontologist at Carthage College in Wisconsin and an author of the new rebuttal. “It would have been unreasonable to leave the public thinking that the multiple species hypothesis was fact.”

The earlier team of researchers anticipated the rebuttal, which was published in the journal Evolutionary Biology.

Gregory Paul, one of the authors of the original study, is working on another paper and says many of the rebuttal’s claims are outlandish.

“I don’t like flat-Earthism because the evidence is against it,” said Paul, who is an independent researcher and influential paleoartist. “It’s the same here: the evidence indicates very strongly that there are multiple species.”

This king-size taxonomic debate seems destined to rage for epochs. Which is unsurprising considering how difficult it is for researchers to differentiate prehistoric species. Without dino DNA, the lines between one fossil species and another are messy. So paleontologists measure different traits, like the size and shape of a particular bone. However, the fossils can be misleading, as spending eons entombed underground can distort bone. And this is before considering how sexual differences, injuries, illness and natural variation sculpt bones during the animal’s lifetime.

In an undated image provided by Mark Witton, an artist’s rendering Tyrannosaurus rex feeding. Without dinosaur DNA, the lines between one fossil species and another are messy, so paleontologists measure different traits, like the size and shape of a particular bone. But fossils can also mislead.

In living populations, warped traits are balanced by large data sets. But the sample sizes of even well-known dinosaurs like T. rex are tiny, according to Philip Currie, a paleontologist at the University of Alberta who was not an author on either study. “The fundamental problem is that although the rough estimate of 100 known specimens of Tyrannosaurus may sound like a lot, it is not nearly enough,” Currie said.

With paleontologists forced to decipher these fragmented puzzles, the field is littered with mistaken identities and defunct species names. And even the legends are not immune — T. rex’s fossil foe, Triceratops, experienced its own naming drama in 1996 when scientists split the three-horned herbivore into two species.

But perhaps no scientific name is as sacred as Tyrannosaurus rex. Since it was named in 1905, the world’s most-studied dinosaur has maintained its moniker. But Paul and colleagues’ recent study threatened to send shock waves through museum halls by rebranding their star attractions.

Several scientists immediately had their doubts. The initial study focused on the bulkiness of Tyrannosaurus femurs and the existence of two sets of incisor teeth poking out of the predator’s lower jaw.

In the rebuttal study, Carr claims that neither trait is distinct to any of the

purported Tyrannosaurus species. “The features that were claimed to be different between the three species were actually overlapping,” said Carr, who published a meticulous study examining traits in more than 40 T. rex specimens in 2020. “There wasn’t any clean break between the different species — we have to have a higher standard than that.” He adds that several well-preserved Tyrannosaurus specimens fail to fall into any proposed species based on their teeth and the heftiness of their femurs.

They also aim to puncture the statistical analyses used in the original paper.

According to James Napoli, a paleontologist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and a co-author on the rebuttal, the statistics used were misleading because the authors defined the number of species they expected before running the tests. “It’s a great test if you’re trying to predict which individuals belong to which group and you know how many groups are in your data,” Napoli said. But using it to find distinct clusters is less useful because “it will always group the data into the number of groups you tell it to.”

In the original paper, the researchers compared the variation between individual Tyrannosaurus specimens with the variation found between several Allosaurus skeletons. However, the rebuttal claims that comparing the apex predators is misleading because the Allosauruses hail

from a single bone bed in Utah while the Tyrannosaurus fossils came from a scattering of sites over a longer period of time.

Therefore, they say, higher amounts of regional and temporal variation in the Tyrannosaurus data set should be expected.

The rebuttal team also considered the variability of T. rex’s living relatives — birds. After examining the femurs of 112 species of living birds, the team deduced that the differences between T. rex femurs were relatively unremarkable.

But Paul believes another feature could make this variation more apparent.

In an upcoming study, he posits that the style of horns adorning Tyrannosaurus’s skull are distinct to each species, like the contrasting crests differentiating cassowary species. He says that the hornencrusted brow of T. imperator consisted of spindle-shaped lumps while T. rex’s horns were knobbier. “This should seal the deal,” Paul said.

Napoli is not convinced. Like the armor of modern crocodiles, these bony outgrowths were likely encased in keratin, protecting continually growing bone underneath. He thinks the shape of a T. rex’s horns probably changed as the animal aged.

The one thing both sets of researchers agree on is the need for more Tyrannosaurus specimens. “When more skeletons are found, they are added into the data set and eventually one way or another, the statistical support is going to be so strong that reasonable scientists cannot disagree,” said W. Scott Persons, a paleontologist at the College of Charleston and a co-author with Paul on the earlier paper.

While neither side is ready to surrender, Peter Makovicky, a paleontologist at the University of Minnesota who was not involved with either study, believes the continued back-and-forth surrounding Tyrannosaurus rex’s identity is good for paleontology because it allows the public to experience the minutiae that defines the discipline.

“This gives the layperson an insight into why we care so much about differentiating new species in the fossil record,” said Makovicky, who counts himself in the single-species camp. “It would be very difficult to convince someone of that if it’s a brachiopod, but T. rex takes it to another level.”

Bill Russell, who transformed pro basketball, dies at 88

By RICHARD GOLDSTEIN

E

ven before the opening tipoff at Boston Celtics games, Bill Russell evoked domination. Other players ran onto the court for their introductions, but he walked on, slightly stooped.

“I’d look at everybody disdainfully, like a sleepy dragon who can’t be bothered to scare off another would-be hero,” he recalled. “I wanted my look to say, ‘Hey, the king’s here tonight.’”

Russell’s awesome rebounding triggered a Celtic fast break that overwhelmed the rest of the NBA. His quickness and his uncanny ability to block shots transformed the center position, once a spot for slow and hulking types, and changed the face of pro basketball.

Russell, who propelled the Celtics to 11 NBA championships, the final two when he became the first Black head coach in a major American sports league, died Sunday.

He was 88.

His death was announced by his family, who did not say where he died.

When Russell was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1975, Red Auerbach, who orchestrated his arrival as a Celtic and coached him on nine championship teams, called him “the single most devastating force in the history of the game.”

He was not alone in that view: In a 1980 poll of basketball writers, Russell was voted nothing less than the greatest player in NBA history.

In the decades that followed Russell’s retirement in 1969, when flashy moves delighted fans and team play was often an afterthought, his stature was burnished even more, remembered for his ability to enhance the talents of his teammates even as he dominated the action and to do it without bravado.

Russell was remembered as well for his visibility on civil rights issues.

He took part in the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and was seated in the front row of the crowd to hear Martin Luther King Jr. deliver his “I Have a Dream” speech. He went to Mississippi after civil rights activist Medgar Evers was murdered and worked with Evers’ brother, Charles, to open an integrated basketball camp in Jackson.

President Barack Obama awarded Russell the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, at the White House in 2011, honoring him as “someone

In 2009, the M.V.P. award for the N.B.A. finals was renamed the Bill Russell N.B.A. Finals Most Valuable Player Award. Russell attended the news conference where the name change was announced. who stood up for the rights and dignity of all men.”

A much-decorated man Russell was the ultimate winner. He led the University of San Francisco to NCAA Tournament championships in 1955 and 1956. He won a gold medal with the U.S. Olympic basketball team in 1956. He led the Celtics to eight consecutive NBA titles from 1959 to 1966.

He was the NBA’s MVP five times and an All-Star 12 times.

A reedy, towering figure at 6 feet, 10 inches and 220 pounds, Russell was cagey under the basket, able to anticipate an opponent’s shots and gain position for a rebound. And if the ball caromed off the hoop, his tremendous leaping ability almost guaranteed that he’d grab it. He finished his career as the No. 2 rebounder in NBA history, behind his rival Wilt Chamberlain, who had 3 inches on him.

Russell pulled down 21,620 rebounds, an astonishing average of 22.5 per game, with a single-game high of 51 against the Syracuse Nationals (the forerunners of the Philadelphia 76ers) in 1960.

He didn’t have much of a shooting

touch, but he scored 14,522 points — many on high-percentage, short left-handed hook shots — for an average of 15.1 per game.

Beyond the court, Russell could appear aloof. He was bruised by the humiliations his family had faced when he was young in segregated Louisiana and by widespread racism in Boston. When he joined the Celtics in 1956, he was their only Black player.

Early in the 1960s, his home in Reading, Massachusetts, was vandalized.

Russell’s primary allegiance was always to his teammates, not to the city of Boston or to the fans. Guarding his privacy and shunning displays of adulation, he refused to sign autographs for fans or as keepsakes for his teammates. When the Celtics retired his No. 6 in March 1972, the event, at his insistence, was a private ceremony in Boston Garden.

He ignored his election to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame — situated squarely in Celtics country, in Springfield, Massachusetts — and refused to attend the induction.

“In each case, my intention was to separate myself from the star’s idea about fans and fans’ ideas about stars,” Russell said in “Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opin-

ionated Man (1979),” written with Taylor Branch. “I have very little faith in cheers, what they mean and how long they will last, compared with the faith I have in my own love for the game.”

Racial scars, a mother lost William Felton Russell was born Feb. 12, 1934, in Monroe, Louisiana, where his father, Charles, worked in a paper bag factory. He remembered a warm home life but a childhood seared by racism. He recalled that a police officer once threatened to arrest his mother, Katie, because she was wearing a stylish outfit like those favored by white women. A gas-station attendant sought to humble his father, while Bill was with him, by refusing to provide service, an episode that ended with Charles Russell chasing the man while brandishing a tire iron.

When Bill Russell was 9, the family moved to Oakland, California. His mother died when he was 12, leaving his father, who had opened a trucking business and then worked in a foundry, to bring up Russell and his brother, Charles Jr., teaching them, as Bill Russell remembered, to work hard and covet self-worth and self-reliance.

At McClymonds High School in Oakland, Russell became a starter on the basketball team as a senior, already emphasizing defense and rebounding. A former basketball player for the University of San Francisco, Hal DeJulio, who scouted for his alma mater, recognized Russell’s potential and recommended him to the coach, Phil Woolpert.

Russell was given a scholarship and became an All-American, teaming up with guard K.C. Jones, a future Celtic teammate, in leading San Francisco to NCAA championships in his last two seasons. He averaged more than 20 points and 20 rebounds a game for his three varsity seasons.

“No one had ever played basketball the way I played it or as well,” Russell told Sport magazine in 1963, recalling his college career. “They had never seen anyone block shots before. Now I’ll be conceited: I like to think I originated a whole new style of play.”

In the mid-1950s, the Celtics had a talented team featuring Bob Cousy, the league’s greatest small man. But lacking a dominant center, they had never won a championship.

Russell led the U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal in the 1956 Melbourne Games in Australia, then joined the Celtics in December.

From page 42 Playing in 48 games as a rookie, he averaged 19.6 rebounds.

That Celtic team won the franchise’s first NBA title, defeating the St. Louis Hawks in the finals.

Enter Chamberlain Russell captured his first MVP award in his second season, but this time the Hawks beat the Celtics for the championship.

The next year, the Celtics won the title again, beginning their run of eight straight championships.

In Russell’s fourth season, 1959-60, the 7-foot-1, 275-pound Chamberlain entered the NBA with the Philadelphia Warriors. Chamberlain led the league in scoring as a rookie with 37.6 points per game and eclipsed Russell in rebounding, averaging 27 per game to Russell’s 24, but the Celtics were champions once more.

Russell was agile, Chamberlain the epitome of strength and power. Russell was usually outscored and out-rebounded

by Chamberlain in their matchups, but the Celtics won most of those games.

“If I had played for the Celtics instead of Russell, I doubt they would have been as great,” Chamberlain was quoted as saying in 1996.

As Chamberlain put it, “Bill Russell and the Celtics were the perfect fit.”

Russell was not the first Black head coach in professional sports, but he had the greatest effect as the first to be chosen, in 1966, to lead a team in one of America’s major sports leagues.

The Celtics’ streak of eight consecutive titles was snapped in Russell’s first year as coach, but it took one of the NBA’s greatest teams to do it. The 1966-67 Celtics had a 60-21 regular-season record, but they lost in the Eastern Conference playoff finals to the Philadelphia 76ers.

A changed view of Boston The Celtics won NBA titles in Russell’s last two seasons, when he was their player-coach. He capped his career with a triumph in the 1969 NBA Finals.

Russell could not easily shake his memories of Boston during his playing days, when the fate of the city’s de facto segregated schools became a national story.

43

“To me, Boston itself was a flea market of racism,” Russell wrote in “Second Wind.”

But as time passed the city changed, and so did his perception of it.

Russell helped promote Boston with a radio spot in the weeks leading up to the 2004 Democratic National Convention, which was held there. “I think there are a lot of things that are happening to make it an open city, where everybody’s included and there’s nobody that’s deemed unworthy,” he said.

Boston honored Russell in 2013 with a bronze statue in City Hall Plaza.

Russell married for the fourth time, to Jeannine Fiorito, in 2016. His first marriage, to Rose Swisher, ended in divorce, as did his second marriage, to Dorothy Anstett. His third wife, Marilyn Nault, died in 2009 at 59.

Russell had three children from his first marriage — William Jr., Jacob and Karen Kenyatta Russell. William Jr., known as Buddha, died in 2016 at 58. Russell’s brother, a playwright and screenwriter under the name Charlie L. Russell, died in 2013 at 81. Complete information on survivors was not immediately available.

Bill Russell hailed across basketball generations

By SHAUNTEL LOWE

B

ill Russell had more NBA championship rings than he had fingers and as many MVP awards as all other Boston Celtics players combined.

But in the hours after Russell’s family announced his death on Sunday, NBA players remembered him as so much more.

Legend. Trailblazer. “Everything we all aspired to be,” Isiah Thomas, a Hall of Fame point guard from the Detroit Pistons, said in a post on Twitter.

Russell, who died at 88, spent 13 seasons with the Celtics in the 1950s and 1960s, including three as a playercoach. He was the first Black coach in the NBA, and he was known for his civil rights activism during and after his playing days. He has remained visible around the NBA as a fan, mentor and symbol of greatness. The finals MVP trophy is named after him, and he would often attend games wearing a purple hat with the initials of one of his favorite players, Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash in 2020.

Players across basketball generations hailed him Sunday.

From the 1980s, there were Thomas and another Hall of Fame point guard, Magic Johnson of the Lakers.

Bill Russell, right, and Jerry West, left, watched a game in 2013.

“Bill Russell was my idol,” Johnson said on Twitter, citing Russell’s basketball talent and position on the “front line fighting for social justice.”

He continued: “Despite all of his achievements, he was so humble, a gentle giant, a very intelligent man, and used his voice and platform to fight for

Black people.”

Michael Jordan, who dominated the 1990s with the Chicago Bulls, said in a statement that Russell was a “pioneer.”

“He paved the way and set an example for every Black player who came into the league after him, including me,” Jordan said. “The world has lost a legend.”

Notable players from the 2000s also spoke of Russell with reverence and a warmth that showed the Celtics icon’s lasting influence in the league.

“I can go on all day about what u meant to me,” Paul Pierce, a Celtics Hall of Famer, said in a tweet.

Pierce, too, called Russell a “pioneer” and “trailblazer.” He also mentioned his “great laugh” and shared a picture of Russell talking with Pierce and other NBA players. “I’ll never forget this day we was like kids sitting around a camp fire listening to your stories,” Pierce wrote.

Pau Gasol, whose Lakers faced Pierce in the finals twice, shared a picture on Twitter of himself with Russell, calling him “one of the most dominant players in @NBA history.”

“I’ll forever be honored to have met you,” he said.

Players from the 2010s and present day also pointed to Russell’s humor, activism and basketball skill.

Noting on Twitter that there was no 3-point line or social media during Russell’s heyday, Celtics guard Marcus Smart posted a list of Russell’s accomplishments.

“Just played and dominated in a day and a league that was def not soft,” Smart said.

Smart’s teammate Jaylen Brown shared a photo of Russell with Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Jim Brown in 1967, when a group of Black athletes were showing support for Ali’s refusal to fight in the Vietnam War. Calling Russell “one of the greatest athletes ever,” Brown said: “Thank you for paving the way and inspiring so many. Today is a sad day but also great day to celebrate his legacy and what he stood for.”

In recent years, NBA players — Brown included — have more prominently carried on Russell’s legacy of civil rights activism. Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul, who was the president of the players union during its social justice efforts after George Floyd’s murder in 2020, also posted about Russell on Twitter on Sunday.

“Unapologetically himself at all times!! The ultimate leader and just happened to be one of the best hoopers ever! RIP Mr Russell, you will be dearly missed,” he wrote.

‘Everything has healed’: Jacob deGrom is finally ready

By JAMES WAGNER

A

fter what will have been a wait of 391 days, one of the best pitchers in baseball is finally expected to take the mound in a major league game. Jacob deGrom, a two-time winner of the National League’s Cy Young Award, who last pitched for the New York Mets on July 7, 2021, is scheduled to make his return from injury tonight against the Washington Nationals in Washington.

In the 2021 season, in what had felt like his best year yet, deGrom missed the final three months with an elbow injury in his throwing arm. He reported to 2022 spring training healthy, but days before the season opener, he landed on the injured list again, this time with a stress reaction in his right shoulder blade.

Finally healthy, and armed with a plan to stay that way, deGrom met with reporters Sunday before his season debut. He told them that “it didn’t take long” for his shoulder to feel good again, but that he and the Mets’ training staff took a deliberate approach in building him back up.

Jacob deGrom has been pitching for Class AAA Syracuse to build up his durability ahead of Tuesday’s start in Washington.

“We looked at why we thought it happened with the quick ramp-up,” he said, alluding to the delayed and protracted spring training caused by the labor dispute between MLB owners and the players union.

“We played it safe by taking extra days and making sure everything was where we wanted it. That way, there were no set-

backs.”

DeGrom, who had a 1.08 ERA over 92 innings last year, told reporters he was confident he could stay healthy for the rest of this season. He added, “Everything has healed, and I felt good throughout the whole process.”

He also reiterated his expectation that

he would exercise the opt-out clause in his five-year, $137.5 million contract extension, leaving aside the $30.5 million owed in 2023 for the chance at netting a larger deal.

DeGrom, 34, returns to a Mets team that remains in first place in the NL East after a 9-3 win Sunday over the Miami Marlins but that has seen its lead over the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves shrink to three games.

First baseman Pete Alonso, who collected his 85th run batted in Sunday, has been a consistent bright spot on offense, and the Mets welcomed back their other ace when Max Scherzer returned from the injured list in early July. But even with things coming together for the team, the front office, which has added a few minor pieces, may be active again before the MLB trade deadline Tuesday.

“Definitely excited,” deGrom told reporters. “It’s been a long time. This has been a pretty slow process of coming back.

Excited to be out there. Nerves haven’t really set in yet, but I’m sure Tuesday I’ll be pretty nervous, and I have a feeling it’s going to feel like my debut.”

Browns’ Watson suspended six NFL games for sexual misconduct

By JENNY VRENTAS and KEN BELSON

D

eshaun Watson, the Cleveland Browns quarterback accused by more than two dozen women of sexual misconduct during massage treatments, was suspended Monday for six games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy and was not fined, according to a person with knowledge of the proceeding who was not authorized to speak publicly.

The NFL and the NFL Players Association did not immediately return calls for comment.

The ruling was made by Sue L. Robinson, the retired federal judge jointly appointed by the NFL and the players union to oversee player discipline. The league and the players union have three business days to submit a written appeal, which would be handled by Commissioner Roger Goodell or a person of his choosing. The players union said in a statement Sunday night — before Robinson informed both sides of her decision — that it would not appeal and called

on the NFL to let the ruling stand.

By the time that Watson is eligible to return from suspension it will have been about 22 months since he last played in an NFL game.

The ruling comes after a 15-month investigation into allegations that Watson, then quarterback of the Houston Texans, had engaged in sexually coercive and lewd behavior toward women he hired for massages from the fall of 2019 through March 2021. Twenty-four women filed civil lawsuits against Watson, and 20 suits were settled in June. ESPN reported Sunday that Watson has also reached settlements with three of the four remaining women. Watson denied the claims, and grand juries in two Texas counties declined to charge Watson criminally.

Among the conduct prohibited by the league’s personal conduct policy are sex offenses, actions that endanger the safety and well-being of another person and anything that undermines the league’s integrity.

The Browns made a significant invest-

ment in Watson, trading top draft picks to acquire his services and then signing him to a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract to be their franchise quarterback.

An elite talent, Watson requested a trade from the Texans after the 2020 season when Houston struggled to a 4-12 record.

He was traded to the Browns in March, after a first Texas grand jury declined to charge him criminally, for three first-round picks and three additional selections in the NFL draft. A second grand jury also opted not to bring charges against Watson.

The league and Watson’s representatives could not negotiate a mutually agreed upon discipline, putting the initial decision in Robinson’s hands. She oversaw a threeday hearing in late June, during which the NFL recommended that Watson be suspended indefinitely and required to wait at least a full season to reapply, while the union and Watson’s representatives argued against a lengthy ban.

This was the NFL’s first personal con-

duct case to be heard by a disciplinary officer instead of Goodell, a protocol established in the 2020 collective bargaining agreement. In advance of Robinson’s decision, the union called the new process impartial and legitimate while imploring the NFL not to ask Goodell or his designee to override her ruling on an appeal.

The decision on Watson’s discipline was widely anticipated, not only as a result of the Browns’ investment in him but also because the breadth of allegations against Watson set this apart from any other personal conduct case that has been considered by the league. The decision comes as scrutiny of the NFL’s treatment of women has included a congressional inquiry into the workplace treatment of female employees at the Washington Commanders and a warning from attorneys general in six states, including New York, that they will investigate the league unless it addresses allegations of workplace harassment of women and minorities.

(Oct 24-Nov 22)

Is someone acting out of character lately? If so, there may be more of this today and over coming days.

Chances are they are in a rebellious mood, and this is showing in their actions. Give them more space, and encourage them to do something that feeds their unique nature and allows them some me-time. When they return, they’ll be so much happier and more responsive to you.

Sagittarius

(Nov 23-Dec 21)

Capricorn

(Dec 22-Jan 20)

Want and need more excitement, Archer? It may be hard to sit still enough to settle. Start the day with some vigorous exercise, such as a swim, jog or other workout, if you can. Once you’re done, you’ll feel calmer and more able to concentrate on your tasks. Distractions might be an issue, and you may have to force yourself not to surf the net or check your phone every few minutes.

Whatever you start, you’ll want to see through to completion. You’ll need to ignore distractions and just get on with it. If you’re tempted to waver despite knowing the importance of your goal, think about how happy you’ll be when you complete it, and how much better life will be because of it. This perspective makes it easier to say no to friends who may have other plans for you.

There can be an excitable quality regarding a potential romance or an interest of yours, so you’ll find it hard to resist. A feisty Mars/Uranus link, could have the effect of speeding up time and making things happen much quicker than they normally would.

You might be drawn into an instant attraction or a hobby that consumes you, but you may also emerge happier and changed.

Leo

Aquarius

(July 24-Aug 23)

(Jan 21-Feb 19)

Career-wise you likely have big goals, but a restless Mars/Uranus link could find you looking for excitement too. If something shows up that offers a quick fix, you might be ready to drop everything and see what it has to offer. It can be an unexpected opportunity that seems to give you everything you’ve wanted, Leo. It may be perfect, but do some in-depth research first.

Trusting your intuition will go a long way towards making decisions you’re happy with. Others may have advice, but it likely feels wrong, so don’t listen to it. The idea that’s coming to you can seem so outrageous that you aren’t sure you should even try it.

Feel deep down in your bones that you’d like to go ahead? Make a start, and it could bring you exactly what you want.

Virgo

Pisces

(Aug 24-Sep 23)

The idea of being able to do what you want when you want, can feel good. Tempted to make a decision that will give you this freedom? There are too many good things going on, including new opportunities, that could be your making. You’ll have more to show for your efforts if you focus on your current plans. Eager to let off steam? Arranging a getaway or outing might do it.

(Feb 20-Mar 20)

Although you can be compassionate and sentimental, this mood may be replaced by a very different one today. Rather than put other people’s feelings before your own, you’ll know what you want, and you’ll go all out to get it. People might be shocked, but you could feel liberated and so happy that you’ve spoken up for yourself rather than gone along with the crowd.
