“It is clear that LUMA has failed spectacularly, as have the calls to prevent this from happening in the first place,” Díaz Vélez said. “Those who should have supervised the contract and its compliance should understand that they represent the public interest and not the profit and well being of a “Electricitycompany.”andhealth are very closely tied,” he said.
“We are treating patients with chronic conditions whose life depends on equipment, therapies, and medications that need electricity,” Díaz Vélez said. “I don’t care if it’s LUMA, Lama, or Lima … it doesn’t matter. The problem is that another company comes and does the same thing,” the cardiologist said. “We must make it clear to the government that the Physicians Association and the patients will not remain silent because the situation is an emergency; we lose lives with this tragedy.”
The medical specialist noted that if a person who de pends on electricity doesn’t have service, they will end up in overcrowded hospitals dealing with the pandemic. In addition, the patient could get sick in hospital environments, worsening their outcome.

Association of Puerto Rico President Dr. Carlos Díaz Vélez said Thursday that the hours-long blackouts that Puerto Rico has been experiencing not only affect the general public, but also are a matter of life or death for thousands of people who depend on electricity to power medical equipment.
There are at least 30,000 bedridden patients in Puerto Rico, and many need electricity to survive. One thousand, three hundred people live in senior centers, and the island has 25 dialysis units and 69 hospitals.

Weeks ago, a significant blackout kept University Hos pital at the Río Piedras Medical Center without electricity for 16 hours. Days later, Auxilio Mutuo Hospital also faced a power outage, and that’s not counting homes with patients who depend on equipment to stay alive, Díaz Vélez said.
“I also call on the Legislature to give these families subsidies to pay for the fuel for the power plants,” she said. “It is an additional expense that these families have. It is pressing for all of us when we lack electricity, but for these families it is agony.”

“That an elderly person remains anchored on an up per floor because they cannot go downstairs because the elevator stopped due to a blackout is inconceivable,” Díaz Vélez said. “A patient connected to an oxygen machine, ventilator, or dialysis machine, which depends on electricity, and doesn’t have service, puts their health and life at risk.”
“People die because treatments are lost, costly medi cines get spoiled,” he said. “This has to end, and patients’ lives are at stake.”
Pérez, the gerontologist, stressed that although many homes have power plants, they are not there to replace the electrical system.
“We have patients who must be on a ventilator 24 hours a day or who have ulcers and need air conditioning,” she said. “My question is, will we wait for generators to replace electrical systems? Continue to lose lives? I represent care homes, but as a gerontologist, I also represent people alone at home, those older adults who find it hard to turn on an electrical plant. This is unsustainable; we cannot continue like Galánthis.” added that part of the services APNI offers is to support mothers of bedridden children, “in the vast major ity alone, without resources or with limited resources, with onerous expenses to attend to the needs of their children, and [the government has] no idea of the agony these mothers go through every time their electricity goes out.”
“All health equipment depends on the electrical sys tem,,” Díaz Vélez said. “The highways can wait, but a life connected to the electrical system cannot wait.”
Accompanied by gerontologist Tamara Pérez and Celia Galán from the Association for the Support of Parents of Children with Disabilities (APNI by its Spanish acronym), Díaz Vélez demanded that politicians take urgent measures to supervise LUMA Energy, the private operator of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority’s transmission and distribution system.
“What else is needed to hear the clamor of the people and start defending it, instead of being a lawyer for a company that does not even respect the government and to which they handed over a monopoly for 15 years?”
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, visitor access to El Yunque National Forest has been by reservation and requires payment in advance through a website that limits access to 300 cars per day.
By THE STAR STAFF
González, Héctor Ferrer Santiago and José Rivera Madera have requested by letter the intervention of Tourism Co. Executive Director Carlos Mercado Santiago with the U.S. Forestry Service so that visits to El Yunque National Forest, which have been restricted since 2020 because of the COVID pandemic, are normalized.“Inarecent visit to the Municipality of Río Grande, we received input and concern regarding the control of visitors in the [El Yunque National Forest] zone,” Ortiz González said. “This decrease in visitors has had a negative impact on the economy of countless families that depend on the flow of visitors that it receives daily. It is a problem that not only affects tourists, but also does not allow us Puerto Ricans to have access to one of the island’s most important natural heritage sites. All other activities have already been normalized and we have returned to normal. It is time for all restrictions in El Yunque to be eliminated, as has been done in all jurisdictions of the United States and the world.”

The city of San Juan has approved an ordinance that would lease land from Escambrón Beach in San Juan to the Normandie Hotel so it can be developed into a parking facility.
“As a consequence of the pandemic, in July 2020, the federal government limited the access of visitors, forcing them to reserve their visit online in ad vance,” the at-large legislator said. “We are concerned that, without a doubt, this action limits the access that we as Puerto Ricans should have to our natural resources. In addition to the fact that tourists who arrive on the island and who are unaware of this matter can’t visit it and get a bad impression of the island due to a decision promoted by the federal government.”
People interested in attending the preeminent rain forest in the Caribbean must reserve and pay in advance through a website that limits daily access to 300 cars per day.
Given those figures, Ferrer Santiago added that “El Yunque, in a regular year, without restrictions, receives around 600,000 visitors annually.”
Ordinance No. 3 was submitted on July 14 and sent to the city’s Treasury, Finance, Federal Funds, Auditing and Comptroller Affairs Committee. The ordinance states that the Escam brón area and the Normandie Hotel lack adequate parking space. Under the ordinance, the Hotel Nor mandie OZ corporation plans to build some 500 parking spaces. The corporation will be in charge of rehabilitating the areas and will be allowed to make structural changes to the property without prior permit or approval of the city’s Engineering Works Department.Theparking facility will be located in the area of an old running trail at Escambrón.Normandie Hotel Corporation will be allowed to demolish a northern wall of the old Hiram Bithorn Stadium, which is currently in poor state, as well as certain nearby areas. It will be allowed to build an events facility where there is currently a store that rents diving equipment. Under the ordinance, the city plans to build a skateboard park in the area where the softball park is located and which is not being used. The city will help Normandie OZ obtain federal funds to improve the Sixto Escobar Stadium and the hotel. The Normandie, which has been abandoned since 2009, was sold for $8.6 million to Normandie Oz LLC, an investor under Act 60 — a tax incentive that provides exemptions to businesses and investors that relocate to or es tablish themselves in Puerto Rico. The so-called Act 20-22 investor asked the government for money to renovate the historic building.

Rivera Madera, who chairs the House Tourism Committee, added that “The Tourism Company is in charge of promoting the tourist attractions of the island; for this reason we are asking the director of Tourism to intervene with the federal government and make the access of visitors to El Yunque Forest more flexible and normal, so that all Puerto Ricans have access to our natural resources.”Thelawmakers made themselves available to collaborate with the Tourism Co.’s efforts on the issue.

On Wednesday, LUMA announced a series of changes in its managerial staff, falling short of asking its president and CEO, Wayne Stensby, to resign. The movement to dump LUMA appeared to gain more steam after Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia said he’s not satisfied with the company’s performance.Representatives from all political and social groups have been asking the governor to cancel LUMA’s contract, but Pierluisi has said he’ll give the consortium a chance to fix its metrics and improve its service.
Meanwhile, P3A Executive Director Fermín Fontanés Gómez said LUMA has complied with 85% of their metrics. “You have to look at different areas. The metrics they have not met are the important ones such as the duration of blackouts,” the official said in public hearings Thursday be fore the Senate Finance Committee, chaired by Sen. Juan Zaragoza, to investigate the LUMA Energy contract. “In their entirety they comply, compared to PREPA, that has not complied with about 48% with generation.”
By JOHN Tjpmcphaul@gmail.comMcPHAULheassistantsecretary of energy affairs at La Fortaleza, Francisco Berríos Por tela, spoke on Thursday about what his role will be in the process of supervising the compliance of LUMA Energy, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau and the Pub lic-Private Partnerships Authority (P3A) with energy policy. “My role specifically is going to be working on what the day-to-day operation is,” Berríos Portela said in response to ques tions from the press. “The governor recently reiterated the position that he requested adjustments to LUMA’s action plan. We have seen and will continue to be very attentive to all the changes and implementations of those changes that have been requested for the system to improve.”
“From the AMPR we join the collective call and we ask the government to take the indispensable action necessary and watch over as they must those who provide our valuable [electricity],” the education lead ers said. “This crisis, without a doubt, also is affecting the educational process of our children and youth. There can’t be good learning if school hours are affected by constant blackouts or if our students can’t complete their homework because they are in constant darkness.”
Energy watchdog to track needed changes in LUMA’s ‘day-to-day’ operations
“I would give it a 6.5, because there are important metrics that they are meeting and are easy to meet, as the Electric Power Authority has never done,” Fontanés said, responding to a question from Zaragoza on what grade he would give LUMA on a scale of one to 10. “It’s positive that the phone response time is less than a minute, but the duration of the blackouts is unacceptable. They have to improve the metrics that touch us asAlsocitizens.”onThursday, Puerto Rico Teachers Association (AMPR by its Spanish initials) President Víctor Manuel Bonilla Sánchez and teachers union secretary general Án gel Javier Pérez Hernández said that as an essential part of Puerto Rican society the school system is a victim of the electrical energy crisis besetting the island.
LUMA Energy took over as operator of the island’s electrical transmission and distribution system in June 2021. The protest gained traction after singer René Pérez, known as Residente Calle 13, posted a call to action on his social media of more than 8 million followers, asking people to go and protest against LUMA. Another singer, Benito Martínez, known as Bad Bunny, has also been vocal against LUMA in his latest concert tour behind his hit album “Un Verano Sin Ti” (A Summer Without You).
LUMA Energy had taken a passive stance against the anger of Puerto Rico residents who are tired of losing money on food and electronics caused by the blackouts.
In addition, he said, LUMA is failing in critical measures and communication.

In front of La Fortaleza, dozens of policemen and members of the Rapid Action Strike Force remained vig ilant as people chanted against the private company and the government.
“I’m going to make sure that I get the right information,” he added. “And if I have to deny any information that has been pub lished, you can trust that I will be doing so.”
The official will receive daily reports from agencies linked to the energy issue as part of the monitoring. Asked about the actions he will take to verify that the information provided is cor rect, Berríos Portela replied that “we will be in constant communication with LUMA, the Electric Power Authority, the Energy Bureau and the Public-Private Partnerships Authority to make sure that we can triangulate all that information and have information that is totally“Yes,accurate.”wewill also at the same time be carrying out communications and liaison with mayors, with different ‘stakeholders’ [including bondholders], interested parties that are watching and are waiting for the system to improve,” he said. “It is evident, really when we have an answer to an energy situation we see it. We know the reaction, we can monitor it not only with the metrics provided by [LUMA], but with the metrics that the Energy Bureau can generate for us. We know the inconvenience that people have, we know the dissatisfaction they have with the lack of services and we are going to be very attentive to all those metrics that they are giving us so we can compare and make sure that it is correct information.”
A press conference earlier this week offered in English by LUMA Energy officials seemed to further galvanize public anger against what people perceive as arrogance on the part of the company.

Chief of Staff Noeli García Bardales said Berríos Portela will monitor daily the efforts made by PREPA, LUMA Energy, P3A and the Energy Bureau “to intertwine them with each other to ensure that there is constant monitoring.”“Notonly of metrics, as the [Energy] Bureau does, but of operations,” she added. “There’s going to be a person who’s going to be specifically dedicated to this monitoring.”

A similar dynamic, experts say, is also at play with psychedelics. The use of hallucinogens had been stable for decades, but in 2021, 8% of young adults reported using psychedelics compared with 3% in 2011, a record high since the category was first surveyed in 1988.
Some states have decriminalized psilocybin, but it and other popular psychedelics remain prohibited under federal law, although the Food and Drug Administration is expected to grant approvals for some therapeutic uses in the coming years. With marijuana use, the dangers include the risks of impaired driving, the potential for addiction and the effects on mental health such as heightened anxiety, depression and temporary psychosis.
“Stress is a real contributor to increased substance use, and it’s really been a tough time for millennials and Gen Z,” she said.
Use of marijuana and psychedelics is soaring among young adults, study finds
Volkow, the National Institute on Drug Abuse director, agreed. Given the norma lization of formerly illicit substances, she said public health experts needed to come up with more nuanced and thoughtful ways of communicating the potential dangers of recreational drugs that also have therapeutic benefits.
Many of those risks have increased alongside the potency of THC levels in cannabis, and more so with vaping pro ducts, said Sion Kim Harris, co-director of the Center for Adolescent Substance Abuse Research at Boston Children’s Hospital.
psychedelics tend to be short-lived — over doses are rare and most compounds are not addictive — experts stress the importance of using them with professional guidance.
By ANDREW JACOBS Marijuana and hallucinogen use among young adults reached a record last year after having leveled off during the first year of the coronavirus pandemic, according to federal survey data.
The online survey of people ages 19 to 60 was conducted from April 2021 to October.Substance use research experts said the mounting use of marijuana in young adults was especially notable. The survey found that 43% in the 19-30 age group had used cannabis 20 or more times over the previous month, up from 34%. In 2011, that figure was 29%. Daily marijuana consumption also jumped significantly, to 11% from 6% in 2011.Increases in use also occurred among people ages 35 to 50, according to the survey.Not surprisingly, the surge in marijuana use has been occurring in tandem with a rise in the number of states that have legalized recreational use — 19 in the past decade. (An additional 13 states allow the medical use of cannabis.) Experts say the normalization of marijuana has helped convince many young people that it is harmless.
The annual survey of drug use indicated that daily consumption of marijuana among young adults nearly doubled over the previous decade.

“As a society, we tend to be very categorical about these things,” she said.
Over the past few years, researchers say, increasing media coverage and social media chatter about the potential therapeu tic value of ketamine, psilocybin mushrooms and ecstasy have helped chip away at longheld taboos that were fostered during the nation’s failed war on drugs.
“We say drugs are so bad they will fry your brains like an egg and then we undermine the evidence that they can be harmful, de pending on the dose and the person who takes them. By making everything black and white, we lose all credibility.”
“It’s about availability but also about peer acceptability,” said Dr. Kevin M. Gray, a professor of psychiatry and beha vioral sciences at the Medical University of South Carolina. “Generally speaking, young people don’t see these substances as dangerous, but the consequences of using them are still Althoughthere.”the risks associated with
Some vaping concentrates contain THC levels of 90% or higher, and the increased potency, she said, has contributed to a spike in cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, a condition that causes recurrent vomiting in heavy marijuana users.
Overall, Harris said she was encoura ged by some of the survey’s trends, including the continued declines in tobacco use, especially among teenagers. The drop in smoking, she noted, highlighted the benefits of sustained and consistent public health messaging about the perils of tobacco. But she said the rise in drug and alcohol use among college-age individuals was worri some, especially given the potential to form lifelong habits during those pivotal years.
The findings, part of the government’s annual survey of drug use among young Americans, also show that nicotine va ping and excessive alcohol consumption continued to climb in 2021 after a brief pause. Another worrying trend among young people, ages 19 to 30: mounting consumption of alcoholic beverages suffu sed with THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.Butthere were some bright spots in the survey. Cigarette smoking and opioid abuse among young adults dropped last year, a continuing trend that has heartened public health experts. Taken in its entirety, the report pro vides a mixed picture of substance use in the United States that experts say reflects a number of disparate trends affecting young Americans: the devastating mental health effects of the pandemic; the increased avai lability of legal marijuana; and the emerging therapeutic embrace of psychedelics to treat depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychological problems.
“Overall, the results are very concer ning,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, which publishes the annual Monitoring the Future survey. “What they tell us is that the problem of substance abuse among young people has gotten worse in this country, and that the pandemic, with all its mental stressors and turmoil, has likely contributed to the rise.”
Arredondo’s continued employment since the tragedy had been a source of controversy in the small South Texas community. Relatives of the victims and other Uvalde residents have been packing City Council and school board meetings demanding that those responsible for the delayed police response be held to account.
Cheers broke out in the room as one of the board members, Laura Perez, made a motion: “I move that good cause exists to terminate the noncertified contract of Pete Arredondo, effective immediately,” she said.
The school police chief Pedro Arredondo, third from right, of Uvalde, Texas, where a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers, at a news conference in the city on May 26, 2022.

Under the school district’s mass shooting protocols, their report said, the district police chief was supposed to lead the response. But he statement released by Arredondo’s lawyer said the former chief was being unfairly blamed for an incident that had begun well before the gunman arrived at the school, not ing that he had first shot his grandmother at her home, crashed a truck into a ditch near the school, and then fired shots near a funeral home near the school. All of these incidents, the statement said, should have prompted the county sheriff or city police department to as sume incident command. As the shooting unfolded, the statement said, Arredondo stood by his fellow officers on the front line, rather than retreating to an incident command post. He evacuated other students to safety but held off on breaching the classroom, it said, until his officers had the necessary breaching tools and shields to mount an operation safely.
A speedier response could have saved the lives of at least some of the wounded, the state investigators found. Some of the victims died on their way to the hospital. “It is plausible that some victims could have survived if they had not had to wait,” the report said.
The San Juan Daily StarAugust 26-28, 20228
When the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety cast blame on Arredondo as the purported incident commander, the statement said, it was “a smoke screen attempt to ‘blame the Mexican’!”“Onecould blame God. Why did God let this happen?” the statement said. “Certainly, and without question, the only person responsible for this tragedy is the shooter himself.”
Inquiries are underway by the City of Uvalde into the actions of the acting police chief on that day, and by the Department of Public Safety into how its own officers responded at the school. From the moment the meeting began in the high school auditorium, the tension was palpable. Brett Cross, an uncle of one of the victims, jumped onstage, catching the school board members off guard, and handed them a letter demanding that their deliberations, which they were about to hold behind closed doors, be open to the public.
Theresponse.school police force is one of several law enforcement agencies whose officers’ conduct during the shooting has been called into question.
A teacher who survived the shooting told investigators that he had reported a malfunction ing lock in his classroom that was never repaired.
Arredondo’s lawyer said the former chief was being “forced into the role of the ‘fall guy,’ ‘the sacrificial lamb.’”
“Our babies are dead,” Cross said. Some in the crowd yelled, “Cowards!” and, “No justice, no peace!”After taking public comments, the board retreated to a closed session to conduct its delib erations and then returned after about 90 minutes to take the final vote in public.
Facing intense pressure from parents, the school board in Uvalde, Texas, earlier this week terminated its school police chief, Pete Arredondo, who directed the district’s police response to a mass shooting at an elementary school in which the gunman was allowed to remain in a pair of classrooms for more than 75 minutes.Theunanimous vote, which Arredondo, through his lawyer, called “an unconstitutional public lynching,” represented the first direct accountability over what has been widely seen as a deeply flawed police response, one that left trapped and wounded students and teachers to wait for rescue as police officers delayed their entry into the two adjoining classrooms where the gunman was holed up.
Hal Harrell, the district superintendent, has said that the decision over terminating Ar redondo’s contract was complicated under the chief’s employment contract. The school district has refused to release the specific terms of the contract, arguing that the information is exempt from disclosure be cause it is related to “anticipated litigation” and because of “ongoing criminal investigations” into theTheshooting.TexasHouse committee investigat ing the shooting found that the police response suffered from a combination of chaos and mis communication along with “egregiously poor decision making.” Scores of officers arrived at the shooting that day, many of them standing in a hallway outside the classrooms as the gunman continued to shoot sporadically. Instead of immediately trying to force their way in through a door or window, Arredondo and other responding officers searched for shields, backup and keys for a classroom door that in vestigators later found was probably not locked, according to the report.
The massacre at Robb Elementary School on May 24 left 19 children and two teachers dead after the gunman, carrying an AR-15-style rifle, was able to enter the school with little resistance through doors that appeared to have been left unlocked, contrary to school district policy.

Arredondo, who has led the small police force since 2020, was described by the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety as the incident commander responsible for the delayed response. Arredondo has said he did not consider himself to be in charge, and an investigative com mittee from the State Legislature concluded that a number of law enforcement agencies shared responsibility for what it called “systemic failures” in the
But in the statement released on Wednes day night by his lawyer, George E. Hyde, Ar redondo insisted that he and his officers saved as many lives as they could with the tools that were available to them. Though he was legally entitled to a public hearing to defend his reputation and clear his name, the statement said, he had decided not to attend the meeting because he had received death threats and feared for his safety.
Nikki Cross, who lost her nephew, 10-yearold Uziyah Garcia, called Arredondo’s departure “the first victory” for her and the other families. “They need to fire the rest of them next.”
Several parents and family members of the victims wore shirts with images of the victims, flowers and signs that read “Protect and Serve. Who.Yourself,” a reference to the police response.

“Would the district have preferred a gun fight with officers in the hallway to break out again, and during that firefight, say, 20 or 30 children across the hall are killed?” the statement said. “And, what if some of them were killed by police officer fire? Chief Arredondo did the right thing.”Thereport released by the House com mittee revealed that school administrators had been slow to fix broken locks and had often not ensured that doors were properly secured.
He asked the jury to divide the burden of paying the damages evenly between the sheriff’s and fire departments; both are funded by Los Angeles County taxpayers.
Jerry Jackson, Chester’s lawyer, said he and the plaintiffs were grateful to the jury and Judge John F. Walter, “who gave us a very fairBryanttrial.”and her lawyers declined to comment after the verdict was read Wed nesdayMiraafternoon.Hashmall, the lead attorney for the county in the case, said in a statement that she and other members of the county’s legal team disagreed with the verdict. “We will be discussing next steps with our client,” she said. “Meanwhile, we hope the Bryant and Chester families continue to heal from their tragic loss.”K Kobe Bryant, a star for the Los Ange les Lakers, achieved a stature in Southern California that far transcended basketball. On Wednesday, about 14 blocks from the courthouse, a new mural celebrating his legacy was unveiled to mark “Mamba Day,” referring to his nickname.
The jury’s decision, which ended a fe deral civil trial that lasted nearly two weeks, was an uncommonly high-profile rebuke of two colossal and insular agencies — the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the Los Angeles County Fire Department — that wield enormous power in the nation’s second biggest metropolis.

The county’s lawyers argued that although some county policies were vio lated, the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights were not. And they said that police officers, firefighters and other emergency responders need the flexibility to document accident scenes before federal investigators or coroner’s officials arrive, so the taking of the photographs was justified.
Vanessa Bryant testified in court that a few days after the emotional public memorial for her husband of almost two decades, she was told about a Los Angeles Times report that one of the deputies, Joey Cruz, had shown photos to a bartender and another bar patron, who filed a complaint with the Sheriff’s Department.
The trial was in some ways a typical Los Angeles celebrity legal spectacle. Bryant arrived each day at the gleaming, cubeshaped federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles in a black sport utility vehicle and walked briskly past photographers as she entered and left the building.
In the suit, Bryant accused the county of negligence and of violating her constitu tional right to privacy. Her lawyers argued that orders from Fire Department and Sheriff’s Department officials to delete the images after inquiries were begun amoun ted to the destruction of evidence and an attemptedBryantcover-up.andChester sought damages for emotional distress brought on by worrying that the photos could surface publicly on the internet at any time. Lawyers for the county acknowledged that the photos were taken and were shared, but they argued that the effort to delete them was thorough enough to keep the photos from appearing for the past 2 1/2 years, and therefore the photos had not been publicly disseminated. The photos were not introdu ced as evidence in the trial.
Jury awards Vanessa Bryant $16 million in suit over crash site photos
By JILL COWAN and VIK JOLLY
Vanessa Bryant, who wore a face mask in court, clasped her hands around her head and began to weep as the verdict was read. Chester looked straight ahead.
“I felt like I wanted to run down the block and just scream,” Bryant testified. “But I couldn’t escape. I can’t escape my body.”
“If I asked all nine of you to give a percentage chance these photos would end up online, I’d get nine different answers,” Lavoie told the jury. “But none of them would be zero. And when it’s your husband, your child, you don’t get the luxury of cold percentages.”JerryJackson, Chester’s lawyer, asked the jury to consider awarding a total of as much as $75 million to the plaintiffs — $2.5 million each for past suffering, plus about $1 million for each year of their remaining life expectancy — a formula that would add up to $30 million for Chester and $40 million for “LadiesBryant.and gentlemen, you can’t award too much for what they’ve been through,” Jackson told the jury.
In those first hours after the crash, Vanessa Bryant alleged in her lawsuit, Los Angeles County firefighters and sheriff’s deputies were allowed to take unnecessary close-up photos of human remains around the site, including the bodies of Kobe and Gianna Bryant, and the photos were then shared among sheriff’s deputies and fire fighters.
On a foggy Sunday morning in January 2020, Bryant, 41, and eight others were flying from Orange County to a youth bas ketball tournament in a suburb north of Los Angeles when the pilot became disoriented in the clouds. The helicopter crashed into a hill near Calabasas, California, and everyone on board was killed. As news of the crash and the identity of the victims rippled around the world, law enforcement officials, investigators, journa lists and fans of Bryant headed toward the rugged crash scene.
Rob Pelinka, the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers, testified in the trial, and several of Bryant’s friends, including professional soccer player Sydney Leroux and singer Ciara, appeared in the gallery to support her. The suit was an effort to hold officials to account for behavior that lawyers for Bryant and Chester argued had “shocked the conscience.”Inclosingarguments, Craig Lavoie, who represented Bryant, showed the jury a flow chart of how the photos had spread. There were question marks on the chart for people who, according to witness testimony or official reports, had received the images but whose electronic devices were never searched.
In their closing arguments, lawyers for the county said that ultimately, the case was about photographs that almost no one had seen.“This is a photographs case but there are no photographs,” Hashmall said.
“To claim privacy and then put all these details in public — it defies logic,” Hashmall said.
Chris Chester, whose wife Sarah, 45, and daughter, Payton, 13 were among those killed in the crash and who joined the suit, was awarded $15 million.
Fans gather at Microsoft Square in Los Angeles at a makeshift memorial to bas ketball legend Kobe Bryant on Jan. 27, 2020. A jury awarded Vanessa Bryant $16 million on Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022, in her lawsuit against Los Angeles County over the inappropriate sharing of photos of human remains from the helicopter crash that killed her husband, her daughter, Gianna, along with seven others.
The jury disagreed, finding that the failure of both agencies to train employees about the right to privacy amounted to a constitutional violation. They also found that the Sheriff’s Department’s practice of taking and sharing photos of human remains violated Bryant’s and Chester’s constitutio nal rights. They deliberated for less than five hours.
Another woman, a relative of some of the crash victims, testified that a Fire De partment official showed some of the photos at a gala where communications staff were receiving an award. She later complained to the Fire Department.

None of that surprises Simon Rosenberg, the founder of New Democrat Network who helped propel Democratic candidates in the wave election of 2018. Republican leaders made two starkly bad decisions this year, Rosenberg said. They rushed to embrace Trump’s political movement, even after it had suffered consecutive losses in 2018 and 2020, and they opted against putting out a platform to run on, believing the 2022 election would hinge on an unpopular president and Democratic control.
The San Juan Daily StarAugust 26-28, 202210
Energized abortion-rights voters. Donald Trump back in the spotlight. Stronger-thanexpected special elections, including a surprising win early Wednesday in New York’s HudsonDemocraticValley. leaders, once beaten down by the prospect of a brutal midterm election in the fall, are daring to dream that they can maintain control of Congress this November. An unexpected victory by Pat Ryan, a Democrat, in a special House election to fill a vacancy in New York’s Hudson Valley offered Democrats solid evidence that their voters were willing to come out and that their message was resonating. It followed strong Democratic showings in other special elections, in Nebraska, Minnesota and upstate New York, since the Supreme Court repealed Roe v. Wade. Ryan placed abortion rights front and center. His Republican opponent, Marc Molinaro, sidestepped the issue to focus on the problems his party still believes will drive voters — inflation, crime, the economy. It didn’t work. “Kevin McCarthy made a big mistake by measuring the drapes too early and doubling down on Trumpism, and it’s proving to be fatal,” said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, referring to the House Republican leader. But the House map in 2022 favors Republicans, thanks to Republican-led redistricting and a slew of retirements of Democratic lawmakers. Primary races in the summer and special elections, which fill seats that are vacated before the end of a lawmaker’s term, are not always reliable predictors of general election turnout. That means the shifting political winds are more likely to merely blunt any Republican wave in the House rather than save the Democratic majority.“Majorities are won in November, not August,” said Michael McAdams, the communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee, the House Republicans’ of ficial campaign arm. “We look forward to prosecuting the case against Democrats’ failed one-party rule that’s left American families worse Thatoff.” endeavor is becoming harder. Falling gas prices have robbed Republicans of the starkest visual evidence of inflation. Passage in recent weeks of legislation to control prescription drug prices, tackle climate change, extend health insurance subsidies, bolster domestic semiconductor manufacturing and impose tighter gun controls on teenagers and the mentally ill have given Democrats achievements to run on while countering accusations of a do-nothing Congress.And the FBI’s seizure of hundreds of highly classified documents from Trump’s Florida home has put the former president back into the spotlight as Democrats press their efforts to cast Republicans as extremists and make the November election a choice between the two parties, not a referendum on President Joe Biden.
Data backs that feeling up. A poll released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center found that 56% of registered voters said the issue of abortion would be very important in their midterm vote, up from 43% in March, with nearly all of that increase coming from Democrats. Virtually the same percentage of Democrats — 69% against 72% of Republicans — now say it “really matters” which party controls Congress. That is up 9 percentage points for Democrats and barely changed among Republicans.
Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., whose redrawn district is more Republican and more rural, said she could not count the number of Republican women who had pulled her aside to express their fears of an abortion ban. That feedback, on top of the local projects she has won for Central Michigan and the general turmoil in the state’s GOP, has her confidence significantly up, she“Theresaid. is a path to holding the majority,” she said. “It’s a narrow path, but there is a path. If you asked me six months ago, I would have said there was no path.”
“The Republicans don’t need a wave to win back the House,” said Nathan Gonzalez, a nonpartisan House election analyst. “There will be some Democrats who win in Trump districts, but they will be the exceptions, not the rule.”
Still, more than a dozen interviews with Democratic candidates illustrated the consistency of their optimism. They all saw Democratic and independent voters as newly energized by the abortion issue. They believed recent Democratic achievements had changed their image as an ineffectual majority to an effective one. And they detected real fear among voters of a resurgent, anti-democracy right wing, abetted by the Republican“You’veleadership.gotDemocrats delivering and Republicans seemingly obsessed with banning abortion, attacking the FBI, prosecuting their culture wars and playing their grievance politics,” said Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., whose redrawn district leans Republican but who insists he has the momentum in his bid for reelection.
Democrats sense a shift in the political winds. It may not be enough.
On Monday, the Democrat in the race, state Sen. Heidi Campbell, released an internal poll indicating that if the election were today, she would win 51% to 48%. Many have dismissed it, but almost no one thought there would be a race at “Peopleall.are tired of the divisive politics,” Campbell said Wednesday.
“It’s palpable, certainly in the base, but it goes beyond that,” said Rep. Charlie Crist, a Republican-turned-Democrat who won the Florida primary on Tuesday to challenge Gov. Ron DeSantis in November.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates 10 Democratic seats as leaning toward or likely to be Republican, against three Republican seats that lean Democratic. That works out to a Republican majority.
For the first time since the fall of 2021, polling averages indicate a narrow majority of voters who say they prefer Democratic over Republican control of Congress. Even some Republicans own up to nervousness.“Itlooks like troubling clouds on the horizon to me,” said Rep. Billy Long, R-Mo. “The Republicans need to heed Satchel Paige’s advice of ‘Don’t look back. Something may be gaining on you.’”And yet, for all the trend lines tilting toward Democrats, there is still the unavoidable math of the Republicansmidterms.need a mere five seats to win a House majority — and their candidates are in strong positions to win the bulk of nine districts that Trump would have won easily two years ago if the new maps had been in place. Seven of those nine seats do not have a Democratic incumbent to defend them. Republicans might have their pick of another seven Democratic seats that Trump would have won in 2020, though by narrower margins. Four of those have no incumbent to defend them.
Abortion rights supporters display signs and prepare to march at a reproductive rights rally outside of the Capitol in Topeka, Kan. on July 30, 2022. Some candidates see Democratic and independent voters newly energized by the abortion issue.
“It’s the MAGA hangover,” he said. “A lot of people are disappointed in Joe Biden, but that doesn’t mean they’d turn around and vote for Republicans, a party that has been overtaken by extremism.”Republican legislators in Tennessee redrew Rep. Jim Cooper’s long-held district around Nashville to dilute the power of the growing Democratic city, chasing him into retirement while hoping to bequeath the newly Republican district to Beth Harwell, the first female speaker of the state House of Representatives. Then she was beaten in the primary by a much more Trump-aligned conservative, Andy Ogles.
In the 1970s, Yale economist William Nordhaus began constructing a model meant to gauge the effect of warming on economic growth. The work, first publis hed in 1992, gave rise to a field of scholars hip assessing the cost to society of each ton of emitted carbon offset by the benefits of cheap power — and thus how much it was worth paying to avert it.
In his Nobel speech in 2018, Nord haus pegged the “optimal” carbon price — that is, the shared economic burden caused by each ton of emissions — at $43 in 2020. Gernot Wagner, a climate economist at Co lumbia Business School, called it a “woeful underestimate of the true cost” — noting that the prize committee’s home country already taxed carbon at $120 per ton. By that time, progressive organiza tions in the United States had started to take another tack. Carbon prices, they re asoned, tend to hit lower-income people hardest. Even if the proceeds funded reba tes to taxpayers, as many proponents re commended, similar promises by suppor ters of trade liberalization — that people whose jobs went offshore would get help finding new ones in a faster-growing eco nomy — proved illusory. Besides, without government investment in low-carbon in frastructure, many people would have no alternative to continued carbon use.
Just in the utility sector, for example, Kellogg recently found that carbon taxes are not meaningfully more efficient than subsidies or clean electricity standards in driving a full transition to wind and solar power. And as more essential devices can be powered by batteries, affordable electri city becomes paramount.
That is why the Inflation Reduction Act was not only a concession to the po litical reality that taxes are a hard sell. The Biden administration’s original Build Back Better plan emphasized innovation and deployment of renewable energy capacity, with particular attention to the interests of workers and communities of color, rather than taxing carbon and letting the market do its thing. On the regulatory side, pro gressives are also pushing clean electricity standards for utilities, vehicles and buil dings.
Carbon taxes and emissions trading systems have been instituted in many pla ces, such as Denmark and California. But a federal measure in the United States, setting a cap on carbon emissions and letting com panies trade their allotments, failed in 2010.
“They are all subjective and based on selective interpretation of science and economics,” he wrote in an email. “Some people hold these views, as would be ex pected in any controversial subject, but many others do not.”
Nordhaus dismissed the criticisms.
“There was an idealization and sim plification of the problem that started in the economics literature,” Kopp said. “And things that start out in the economics lite rature have half-lives in the applied policy world that are longer than the time period during which they’re the frontier of the field.”

“You’re saying, ‘Things are going to cost more, but we aren’t going to give you help to live with that transition,’” said Rhia na Gunn-Wright, director of climate policy at the left-leaning Roosevelt Institute and an architect of the Green New Deal. “Gas pri ces can go up, but the fact is, most people are locked into how much they have to tra vel each day.”
Nordhaus became a leading voice for a nationwide carbon tax that would dis courage the use of fossil fuels and propel a transition toward more sustainable forms of energy. It remained the preferred choice of economists and business interests for deca des. And in 2018, Nordhaus was honored with the Nobel Memorial Prize in Econo mic Sciences.ButasPresident Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act with its $392 billion in climate-related subsidies, one thing be came very clear: The nation’s biggest initia tive to address climate change is built on a different foundation from the one that Nor dhausRatherproposed.than imposing a tax, the legis lation offers tax credits, loans and grants — technology-specific carrots that have histo rically been seen as less efficient than the stick of penalizing carbon emissions more broadly. The outcome reflects a larger trend in public policy, one that is prompting econo mists to ponder why the profession was so focused on a solution that ultimately went nowhere in Congress — and how econo mists could be more useful as the damage from extreme weather mounts.
To many economists, the approach pioneered by Nordhaus was increasingly out of step with the urgency that climate scientists were trying to communicate to policymakers. But a carbon tax remained at the center of a bipartisan effort on clima te change, supported by a panoply of large corporations and more than 3,600 econo mists, that also called for removing “cum bersome regulations.”
At the same time, the cost of tech nologies like solar panels and batteries for electric vehicles — in part because of huge investments by the Chinese government — was dropping within the range that would allow them to be deployed at scale.
For Ryan Kellogg, an energy econo mist who worked as an analyst for the oil giant BP before getting his doctorate, that was a key realization. Leaving an econo mics department for the public policy school at the University of Chicago, and working with an interdisciplinary consor tium including climate scientists, impressed on him two things: that fossil fuels needed to be phased out much faster than pre viously thought, and that it could be done at lower cost.
Pace of climate change sends economists back to drawing board
“If you want to get rid of some of the carbon but you don’t think it’s worthwhile to invest in deep decarbonization, keeping a price on carbon is probably a good idea,” Kellogg said. “If you’re going to zero, and really cleaning the grid, you want to use that clean electricity to electrify other stuff, and you want it to be cheap.”
Robert Kopp, a climate scientist at Rutgers University, worked on developing carbon pricing methods at the Department of Energy. He thinks the relentless focus on prices, with little attention paid to direct in vestments, lasted too long.
Heather Boushey, a member of the White House’s Council of Economic Advi sers who handles climate issues, said the field is learning that simply tinkering with prices will not be enough as the climate nears catastrophic tipping points, such as the evaporation of rivers, choking off whole regions and setting off a cascade of econo mic effects.“Somuch of economics is about mar ginal changes,” Boushey said. “With cli mate, that no longer makes sense, because you have these systemic risks.” She sees her current assignment as similar to her pre vious work, running a think tank focused on inequality: “It profoundly alters the way people think about economics.”
A central shift in thinking, many say, is that climate change has moved faster than foreseen, and in less predictable ways, rai sing the urgency of government interven tion. In addition, technologies like solar pa nels and batteries are cheap and abundant enough to enable a fuller shift away from fossil fuels, rather than slightly decreasing their use.
At the same time, Nordhaus’ model was drawing criticism for underestima ting the havoc that climate change would wreak. Like other models, it has been revi sed several times, but it still relies on broad assumptions and places less value on harm to future generations than it places on harm to those today. It also does not fully incor porate the risk of less likely but substantia lly worse trajectories of warming.
By LYDIA DePILLIS Economists have been examining the effect of climate change for almost as long as it has been known to science.

Supply chain bottlenecks and labor shortages have been a major factor driving inflation in the United States, though surging consumer demand ulti mately did more to drive up prices in the last two years, according to researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the University of Maryland and Harvard Uni versity.
Supply shocks — which include shortages of workers, raw materials and shipping containers needed to produce and move goods globally — accounted for the remaining 40% of inflation in the model, with 58 of 66 industrial sectors that the research identified experiencing supply constraints.
The researchers concluded that, without supply bottlenecks, inflation in the United States would have been 6% at the end of 2021, instead of 9%. The research finds that demand shocks played a larger role in explaining inflation in the United States, whereas supply chain bottlenecks have done more to fuel inflation in Europe.
In a blog post on Wednesday, Julian di Giovanni, the head of climate risk stu dies in the New York Fed’s Research and Statistics Group, summarized findings from a paper presented in June that found higher consumer demand for all types of products during the pandemic was respon sible for roughly 60% of the inflation in the United States between 2019 and 2021.
The findings provide one answer to a debate that policymakers and politicians have been wrestling with about the nature of inflation, which slowed slightly to 8.5% in July. While many economists point to the government’s generous spending to support Americans during the pandemic as a key factor fueling inflation, the Biden administration has often blamed global supply chain issues and rising fuel prices stemming from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The debate has important implica tions for the actions policymakers can take to fight price increases. The Federal Re serve has aggressively raised interest rates to try to cool consumer demand and the economy, but it has no tools to alleviate supplyCongressconstraints.and the Biden administra tion have begun making big investments in infrastructure and providing incentives for manufacturers of key products like se miconductors to invest in the United Sta tes. But the impact from those policies will take years to be felt. There have been signs recently that supply chain shocks are easing, and di Giovanni said that could be good news for the U.S. inflation rate. In the absence of new energy shocks or other surprises, it’s possible that the easing of bottlenecks in the supply chain “will cause a substantial drop in inflation in the near term,” he wro te Wednesday.
Consumer demand has been key driver of inflation in the US

Shipping containers being unloaded in Port Newark, N.J., on Aug. 3, 2022. Research has found that Americans’ spending during the pandemic accounted for about 60% of inflation from 2019 to 2021.
“The bottom line of this decompo sition is that supply constraints magnified the impact of higher demand in inflation,” di Giovanni wrote.
Global stocks rise, US bond yields hover at 8-week highs ahead of Jackson Hole
Investors have scaled back expectations that the Fed could tip to a slower pace of rate hikes as US inflation remains at 8.5% year-on-year, well above the Fed’s 2% tar get.
Better-than-expected economic data in Germany and gains in U.S. mega-cap growth stocks helped push world stock markets broadly higher on Thursday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve’s annual Jackson Hole symposium for to gain insight into the central bank’s plans to combat inflation. The start of the Federal Reserve’s annual monetary pol icy conference begins Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The focus is squarely on how much higher US interest rates might have to go and stay high if inflation does not fall significantly from current 40-year highs.
Borrowing costs in bond markets also eased slightly after a hectic few days that saw another sharp rise, par ticularly in Europe, where gas prices have now more than tripled since June as Russia cut its supply. Germany’s 10-year yield fell about 3 basis points (bps) to 1.33% after touching 1.39%. Italy’s 10-year yield edged down to 3.58% and US yields, the main driver of glob al borrowing costs, hovered near an eight-week high of 3.10%, compared with 2.51% at the start of month.
“Given the extent of this week’s selloff so far, a hawk ish takeaway from Wyoming appears to be the consensus and arguably priced in with some confidence,” said Ian Lyngen, head of US Rates Strategy at BMO Capital Mar kets.

Ukrainian forces have yet to make any major push to drive the Russians from oc cupied territory, and officials have said they understand they have a limited amount of time to take advantage of Russia’s appa rent struggles. And Ukraine, too, has lost fighters and equipment, as its civilians have suffered through frequent Russian strikes.
But Moscow continues to rain rocket stri kes on the country, including an attack on a train station in eastern Ukraine on Wednes day. As rescue workers sifted through twis ted metal wreckage Thursday, officials said the death toll had risen to 25, including at least five people who had burned to death inside a train car. It was the deadliest attack on Ukrainian civilians in weeks.
The commander, Berlin, who goes by a nickname like many Ukrainian soldiers, scoffed, clearly amused by the thought.
“We have no fireworks here for the holiday,” said Ber lin, whose nom de guerre comes from his ability to speak German. Berlin’s men were dug in outside the eastern city of Bakhmut, just over 1 mile from a tree line bristling with Russian troops.
“The rest are dead,” he said.
Long war looms, officials say, despite Ukraine’s defiant message
By THOMAS GIBBONS-NEFF and NATALIA YERMAK T he Ukrainian commander, just a few yards from his unit’s position in a maze of earthen trenches and du gouts along eastern Ukraine’s front line, pondered what exactly his troops had done to mark their country’s 31st Independence Day.
The San Juan Daily StarAugust 26-28, 202214
“We expect Russia to try to manipula te the results of these referenda under the false claim of the Ukrainian people wanting to join Russia,” John F. Kirby, the National Security Council spokesman, told reporters Wednesday. “It will be critical to call out and counter this disinformation in real time.”
The concern about Moscow’s referen dum planning underscores the steep cha llenges that Ukraine faces as it seeks to translate losses it has recently inflicted aga inst Russian forces into successfully regai ning territory. Moscow is now estimated to control some 20% of Ukraine. Strikes against ammunition depots and command centers — along with the work of partisans targeting Russian occupation forces behind enemy lines — are part of a counteroffensive as the Ukrainians seeks to both degrade Russian forces and sow chaos. But as Zelenskyy and other leaders have vowed that Ukraine will win the war, they have also repeatedly urged Ukrainians living under Russian occupation to be pa tient.
E ven as the Ukrainian government sought to bolster the nation’s resolve with defiant commemorations of its Independence Day, military leaders tried to brace the public for a long, bloody slog ahead as Russia appeared to be aiming to strengthen its grip on Ukrainian territory it has seized.
And the United States warned that Mos cow may try to stage “sham” referendums, possibly as soon as this weekend, to provi de a veil of legitimacy as it moves to annex parts of the country under its control.
The Ukrainian government has been urging people living under occupation to resist pressure to participate in the referen dums. Its network of partisan fighters have stepped up their attacks on local Russian proxy
‘No wounded, no dead.’ A frontline Ukrainian unit sees little change on Independence Day.
Since Russian forces seized the cities of Sievierodonet sk and Lysychansk this summer, taking a swath of eastern Ukraine’s mineral-rich Donbas region, Moscow’s advance has focused on several smaller population centers, including Bakhmut.
The whistles and thuds of incoming Russian artillery fire reverberated somewhere off to the west and Berlin, with a buzz cut and tired eyes, shrugged. The shells were hitting another Ukrainian position. Not his.
He did not offer more detail on why the United States thinks referendums could move so quickly, or what effect such a move could have on efforts to negotiate an end to the fighting. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine has previously said he would end talks with Russia if Moscow holds referen dums in occupied areas.
“We have no wounded, no dead,” he added late Wed nesday afternoon. “It’s already a holiday for us.”
Berlin, who hails from the city, which had a prewar population of around 70,000, was appointed the comman der of his company roughly four days ago, he said. The last commander had his hand sheared off by a Russian shell and Berlin happened to be next in line.
Danilov said the hardest days may yet lie ahead.
The unit, which once had around 120 soldiers, had been reduced to 55 men in recent weeks as Russian forces pushed to take the city. The advance ultimately stalled on its outskirts but both sides took heavy losses, Ukrainian mi litary commanders said. Berlin attributed his unit’s casualties, the majority of them shrapnel wounds and amputations, to Russian shelling from mortars and rockets.
“It’s going to be very difficult; it’s not going to be easy,” the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, said in an interview aired Wednesday with Radio Liberty, a U.S.-fun ded independent news organization. “And if someone thinks that we have already passed some kind of Rubicon and that the rest will be like clockwork, unfortunately, it will not be.”The Russian Ministry of Defense has said it was slowing the pace of its military campaign — a reflection, Western military analysts say, of the Kremlin’s need to explain the lack of military progress at home after going weeks without gaining significant new ground in Ukraine.
While defiant Ukrainians celebrated in Kyiv on Wed nesday, which is also the six-month mark since Russia’s in vasion, Independence Day looked much the same as pre vious days to these fighters at the front.
Theadministrations.Ukrainianmilitary’s southern com mand said Thursday that “local resistance prevents the Russians from taking organiza tional measures to prepare a fake demons tration of will.”
“We will have a big war with this coun try,” he said, “and we will have to put a lot of effort in order to win.”

Ukraine and Russia share roots stret ching back to the first Slavic state, Kievan Rus, a medieval empire founded by Vi kings in the 9th century. But the historical reality of Ukraine is complicated, a thousand-year history of changing religions, borders and peoples. The capital, Kyiv, was established hun dreds of years before Moscow, and both Russians and Ukrainians claim it as a bir thplace of their modern cultures, religion and language. The history and culture of Russia and Ukraine are indeed intertwined — they share the same Orthodox Christian reli gion, and their languages, customs and na tional cuisines are related. Parts of modern-day Ukraine did in deed reside for centuries within the Rus sian empire. Eastern Ukraine, which came under Russian influence much earlier than the west, still features many Russian speakers and people loyal to Moscow. But other parts in the west fell under the jurisdiction of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Poland or Lithuania.
As Ukraine celebrates its indepen dence from Russia on Wednesday, many Ukrainian artists, intellectuals and writers have sought to emphasize Ukraine’s uni que culture as a form of protest against President Vladimir Putin’s claims that Ukraine and Russia “are one people” and his efforts to abolish their statehood.
War gives fight to preserve Ukraine’s cultural identity new urgency Ukrainian flags form part of a display in Kyiv’s Maidan Square honoring Ukrainians killed in Russia’s invasion of the country this year, in Ukraine, Aug. 22, 2022.
“This is a war about cultural identi ty,” said curator Leonid Maruschak. With Russia actively trying to erase Ukraine’s national identity, this country’s music, li terature, movies and monuments are not recreations. They are battlefields. Ukrai nian culture, past and present, has beco me a vital line of defense for the whole liberal order. Every war endangers cultural herita ge. Walk through Kyiv or Lviv today, and on every other corner is a statue bundled in flame-retardant blankets. Hapsburg stained glass is sandwiched between particle board, and Soviet mosaics are overlaid with plywood. The appalling damage to theaters, libra ries and religious sites in these past six months alo ne broadens a horrendous tide of cultural destruction this century, in Syria, Iraq, Ethiopia, Mali, Armenia and Afghanistan. But the risks to Ukra inian culture are more than mere collateral da mage. For Putin, there is no Ukraine as such; he maintains that Ukraine is a Soviet fiction, that the Ukrainian language is a Russian dialect, that Rus sians and Ukrainians are “one people.” And so since February — indeed, since 2014, when the war first began in the east of Ukraine — cultural manifestations of Ukrainian independen ce have been directly in the crosshairs. The war has turned contemporary Ukrainian culture into an archival en terprise — one in which preservation is everyone’s job, and new creations are rooted in history the enemy would deny.
Ukrainian identity politics and natio nalism have long been irritants in Russia since the feudal czarist times that predated the Russian Revolution. Ukraine is seen by many Russians as their nation’s “little brother” who should behave accordingly.
A t the thousand-year-old Cathedral of Saint Sophia here, standing on an easel in front of a towering Ba roque golden altar, is a new, freshly pain ted icon that is just 1 foot square. It depicts a 17th-century Cossack mi litary commander with a long gray beard. He looks humble beneath the immense mosaics that have glinted since the 11th century — through Kyiv’s sacking by the Mongols, its absorption into Poland, its domination by the Soviet Union. This icon has been painted on three planks of knotty wood: the planks of an ammunition box recovered from the de vastated Kyiv suburb of Bucha. Out of Bucha’s mass graves, in the wake of terri fying Russian atrocities against civilians, something new has come to Saint Sophia: an image of mourning and resolve, of ho rror and courage, of a culture that will not give up.
Putin has also argued that the myth of Ukraine was reinforced by the crum bling Soviet government of Mikhail Gorba chev, which allowed Ukraine to slip free of Moscow’s grasp. It was a weakened Moscow that “gave” Ukraine the right to become independent of the Soviet Union “without any terms and conditions.”
Destroyed Russian armored vehicles were paraded in Kyiv on Sunday.
O n the eve of Russia’s full-scale in vasion of Ukraine, President Vla dimir Putin of Russia argued that the very idea of Ukrainian statehood was a fiction.
“Putin’s ar gument today that Ukraine is historically subsumed by Russia is just not right,” said Cliff Kupchan, chair of the Eurasia Group, a political risk consulting organization. In the 20th century, the Soviet gover nment would eventually crush the nascent independent Ukrainian state. During the Soviet era, the Ukrainian language was banished from schools and its culture was permitted to exist only as a cartoonish cari cature of dancing Cossacks in puffy pants.

“Modern Ukraine was entirely and fu lly created by Russia, more specifically the Bolshevik, communist Russia,” Putin said. As Ukraine celebrated its independen ce Wednesday, rebutting Putin’s revisionist narrative of history was even more impera tive for many Ukrainians, a defense against what many historians see as Putin’s distor tions of history.
Putin declared Ukraine an invention of Bolshevik revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin, who he said had mistakenly en dowed Ukraine with a sense of statehood by allowing it autonomy within the newly created Soviet state.
But it was not Moscow that granted Ukraine’s independence in 1991. It was the Ukrainian people, who voted resoun dingly to leave the Soviet Union in a de mocratic referendum. It is not clear whether Putin believes his version of Ukrainian history or has simply concocted a cynical mythology to justify his actions. But his contention that Ukraine exists solely within the context of Russian history and culture is one he has deployed at least as far back as 2008, when he attempted to convince Geor ge W. Bush, who had expressed support for Ukraine’s NATO membership, of the country’s nonexistence.
Putin has called Ukrainian statehood a fiction. History suggests otherwise.

The German ships exposed in the Danube — Europe’s second-longest river — had been part of Nazi Germany’s Black Sea fleet. They were sunk by the retreating German navy in 1944 to prevent them from falling into the hands of the advancing Soviet army.The wrecks contain nearly 10,000 pieces of unexploded ordnance, according to Serbian authori ties, which put the cost of removing the vessels and munition at nearly $30 million.
The inscription, which appears to have been en graved in 1616, reads: “If you see me, weep.”
So-called hunger stones have also resurfaced as rivers have run low. The stones carry engravings from years past when water levels dropped, and the local populations knew the harvest would be bad and the ensuing year tough.

By CHRISTOPHER F. SCHUETZE F rom the depths of the mighty Danube River, the hulking wrecks of more than a dozen German World War II ships have risen once again, ex posed by a drought that has starved Europe’s rivers and led to some of the lowest water levels of the past century.The exposed wrecks had been on the river’s bottom for nearly eight decades and emerge only when the water level is extremely low. An extraordi narily hot and dry summer rippling across Europe has dropped water levels precipitously, creating a hazard for local river transport and fishing on the Danube. More broadly, the scorching weather has caused alarm across the continent as heat waves have in creased at a faster rate, with scientists pointing to glo bal warming and other factors as playing major roles. The extreme temperatures have led to lower har vests and strained Europe’s ability to create its own energy supply. They have reduced hydropower in Norway and threatened nuclear reactors in France. Britain banned the use of outdoor hoses after England experienced its driest July since 1935. In Spain, towns in Andalusia have restricted water usage. In Germany, environmentalists are concerned that dried-up lakes and rivers in the center of the country threaten the survival of fish and other wildlife.
Europe’s rivers, starved by drought, reveal shipwrecks, relics and bombs
One widely reported example appeared again in the Elbe River close to the town of Decín in the Czech Republic (it temporarily emerged in 2018).
“The German flotilla has left behind a big ecolo gical disaster that threatens us, people of Prahovo,” Velimir Trajilovic, 74, a local retiree who wrote a book about the German ships, told Reuters.
The drought has also brought sustained scrutiny to relics dating back thousands of years that someti mes surface as water levels drop in rivers across Eu rope.The foundations of a 2,000-year-old bridge in Rome emerged in the Tiber this summer. In Spain, the Dolmen of Guadalperal, a four- to five-millenniumold megalithic monument often compared to Stone henge, rose from the waters west of Madrid. Earlier, a village in Spain, which had been abandoned and submerged when artificial reservoirs were built in the 1960s, became visible after years under water.

The scandal at Brothers Home has long been one of the best documented among the numerous cases of rights abuses under Korea’s successive dictatorships. Over the decades, survivors have written books. Ma jor TV stations have released investigative documentaries. Human rights groups and newspapers have run multipart series on the abuse and attempts to cover it up. It was not until Wednesday, though, that a government agency formally recogni zed what happened at Brothers Home as a “grave human rights violation by the state,” announced an official death toll and recom mended a governmental apology and assis tance to heal the victims’ trauma.
“On one hand, Park In-keun collected money from Christian donors,” said Choi Seung-woo, 53, who spent five years at the center until 1986. “On the other hand, he gathered all of us in the church and punished rule-breakers ‘in the name of Jesus and God.’ He kicked and bludgeoned us, blood splatte red from our head.”
In 2020, the National Assembly relaun ched the Truth and Reconciliation Commis sion, a government agency in charge of in vestigating past human rights violations that was disbanded in 2010. Brothers Home was the first case the commission decided to in vestigate.“The state has ignored pleas to ad dress the human rights violations at Brothers Home, not taking any action while knowing that there were problems,” Jung Geun-sik, the commission’s chair, said Wednesday. “It downplayed and distorted the case during an investigation in 1987, preventing a proper le gal resolution based on facts.”
The Truth Commission’s findings provi de powerful ammunition for survivors who are suing the government for compensation . Its work is part of South Korea’s renewed efforts to come to terms with its tumultuous modern history, which has been marked not only by democratization but also by civilian massacres, popular uprisings, torture and other human rights violations. In the 1960s through the 1980s, espe cially in the years before the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the country’s military dictators worked to “cleanse the streets of vagrants.” By 1986, more than 16,000 were being held in 36 facilities that operated with govern ment subsidies. The one in Busan was the most infamous, holding as many as 4,355 people, even though it was built to accom modate 500. The facility held not only homeless and disabled people, but also people with families and jobs who were found drunk or without proper identification, as well as panhandlers and even political dissidents. It received government subsidies based on the number of people it held, investigators said. It paid bribes to police and municipal officials for working with Brothers Home officials to find unattended children on the streets, ship ping them to the center and listing them as orphans.“Iwas playing alone in my neighbor hood in Busan when the men snatched me, tossing me like garbage onto a freezer trucklike vehicle,” said Lee Dong-jin, 57, who was sent to Brothers Home at the age of 10 and spent seven years there. At Brothers Home, Lee was “No. 110.” What he found there, he said, was “a sheer hell.”Brothers Home was run by Park In-keun, a former army sergeant. Park was decora ted with government medals for running an exemplary welfare center. A 1981 propagan da documentary made by the governmentrun Korea Film Production billed Park as a devout Christian who worked tirelessly to reform incorrigibles and vagrants. At the top of his facility was a large Protestant church. Later it was revealed that Park ran the place like a concentration camp, guarded by tall walls and doors locked from the outside at night, according to victims and investiga tors. Clad in discarded military uniforms or blue tracksuits, those who were held there worked from dawn to dusk in factories that produced everything from clothing and shoes to fishing equipment and cocktail um brellas. Brothers Home pocketed more than half of their wages or paid them nothing, the commission said. Every Monday morning, “people’s trials” were held. Rule-breakers, in cluding those who tried to es cape, were savagely punished in front of thousands. In 1986, military intelligence officials ranked Brothers Home above prisons in its ability to “con trol and discipline.” The Truth Commission said the place was run as if it enjoyed “extra territorialThoserights.”whowere loyal to Park were made “platoon lea ders” and terrorized others. A vast majority of the people held in Brothers Home were men. In a survey, nearly onequarter said they were raped there, according to a 2020 investigation sponsored by Busan City. The same report said Brothers Home appeared to have earned money by releasing at least 11 children for adoption abroad.

rom 1976 to 1987, military dictators in South Korea swept roughly 38,000 people off the streets, corralling them into a welfare center called Brothers Home. The facility was supposed to feed and teach what the government called vagrants — many of them minors — and train them for jobs.Instead, Brothers Home turned out to be a house of nightmares. Many were beaten, raped and used for slave labor. More than 650 people died whi le being held there illegally and unbeknown to their families, according to survivors and investigators.Brothers Home, in the southeastern port city of Busan, became among the most in famous examples of human rights abuses in South Korea’s modern history. Yet few people have been held accountable. After the top manager was investigated in 1987, government leaders intervened, and the ma nager spent only 30 months in prison. He was found guilty of minor financial crimes, but not of violating human rights. On Wednesday, after a decades-long struggle to hold the authorities accounta ble, Brothers Home victims scored a victory when South Korea’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission confirmed that the government illegally helped send people into forced de tention and forced labor at Brothers Home, exposing them to beatings, rape and other abuse that sometimes led to death.
Decades after a ‘living hell,’ Korean victims win a step toward redress Park Sun-yi, a victim of Brothers Home, at a news conference on Wednesday at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission office in Seoul.
Han Jong-sun, 46, who was taken to Brothers Home at 8 years old, said he saw guards bludgeoning a young man having an epileptic seizure. The teenager was taken away with his eyes rolling to the back of his head and was never seen again. Han said he was regularly raped by male platoon leaders. Many key details of abuse were repor ted in 1987 when prosecutors and opposi tion lawmakers investigated the home. But prosecutors admitted decades later that they watered down their inquiry under political pressure. The scandal was soon eclipsed by huge pro-democracy student demonstrations that erupted that year. Han helped break the long silence by starting a lone protest in front of South Korea’s National Assembly in 2012. Other survivors like Choi joined the campaign with sit-ins and hunger strikes. But progress was slow. Park died in 2016 of natural causes.
“The whole country is an accomplice,” said Park Gyeong-bo, 58, who was incarce rated at Brothers Home twice between 1975 and 1980. “There has always been an over flowing amount of evidence of wrongdoing, but no one cared, nobody listened to us. We were treated like the trash of society.”
Some tech companies, like Google, have announced voluntary measures to protect some user data around reproductive health care. A group of hundreds of Google employees is circulating a petition to strengthen privacy protections for users who look for information about abortion through its search engine. But even if those bills pass and some tech companies take more steps, there are simply too many tech companies, government entities, data brokers, internet service providers and others tracking everything we do.
By ALEX WKINGSBURYheneverIsee one of those billboards that read: “Privacy. That’s iPhone,” I’m overcome by the urge to cast my own iPhone into a river. Of lava. That’s not because the iPhone is any better or worse than other smartphones when it comes to digital privacy. (I’d take an iPhone over an Android phone in a second; I enjoy the illusion of control over my digital life as much as the next person.) What’s infuriating is the idea that carrying around the most sophisticated tracking and monitoring device ever forged by the hand of man is consistent with any understanding of privacy. It’s not. At least not with any conception of privacy our species had pre-iPhone.
In 2019, Times Opinion investigated the location tracking industry. Whistleblowers gave us a data set that included millions of pings from individual cellphones around daily commutes, churches and mosques, abortion clinics, the Pentagon, even the headquarters of the CIA.
There are too many cameras, cell towers and inscrutable artificial intelligence engines in operation to live an unobserved life.

Consider just last week: Apple released a surprise software update for its iPhones, iPads and Macs meant to remove vulnerabilities the company says may have been exploited by sophisticated hackers. The week before that, a former Google engineer discovered that Meta, parent company of Facebook and Instagram, was using a piece of code to track users of the Facebook and Instagram apps across the internet without their knowledge. In Greece, the prime minister and his government have been consumed by a widening scandal in which they are accused of spying on the smartphones of an opposition leader and a journalist.Andthis month Amazon announced that it was creating a show called “Ring Nation” — a sort of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” made up of footage recorded by the company’s Ring doorbells. These video doorbells, sold by Amazon and other companies, are now watching millions of American homes, and they are often used by police departments as, effectively, surveillance networks. All in the name of fighting crime, of course. Step back, and what we’re looking at is a world where privacy simply doesn’t exist anymore. Instead of talking about old notions of privacy, and how to defend or get back to that ideal state, we should start talking about what comesThatnext.reality is becoming clearer to Americans after the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs, which eliminated the federal right to abortion. They now understand that their phone location data, internet searches and purchase history are all fair game for police — especially in states that do not protect abortion rights, and where women can be hunted down for their health care choices. If the courts once defended the right to have an abortion as part of a broader right to privacy, by vaporizing that right, the Roberts court shattered many of Americans’ conceptions of privacy as well.
Reconciling the idea of privacy with our digital world demands embracing a profound cognitive dissonance. To exist in 2022 is to be surveilled, tracked, tagged and monitored — most often for profit. Short of going off the grid, there’s no way around it.
Protecting digital privacy is not in the interest of the government, and voters don’t seem to care much about privacy at all. Nor is it in the interest of tech companies, which sell users’ private data for a profit to advertisers.
For years, privacy advocates, who foresaw the contours of the surveilled world we now live in, warned that privacy was a necessary prerequisite for democracy, human rights and a flourishing of the human spirit. We’re about to find out what happens when that privacy has all but vanished. about to find out what happens when privacy is all but gone
“If the government ordered Americans to continuously provide such precise, real-time information about themselves, there would be a revolt,” the editorial board wrote.Yet despite years of talk, Congress is no closer to passing robust privacy legislation than it was two decades ago when the idea first came up. Even its baby steps aren’t encouraging. Two bills in the current session aim to roll back some of this mass monitoring around abortion and reproductive health in particular, although neither one is likely to One,pass.the Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act, would prevent law enforcement and other government agencies from purchasing location data and other sensitive information from data brokers. Another, the My Body, My Data Act, would forbid tech companies to keep, use or share some personal health information absent written consent. Neither bill would prevent police officers with a court order from getting such information.

By JON CARAMANICA and LINDSAY ZO OLADZver the weekend, Harry Styles be gan a 15-night stand at Madison Square Garden, an impressive feat befitting one of the most popular musicians in the world. (He’ll begin a similar stretch in October at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California — his tour supporting his latest album, “Harry’s House,” consists of a se ries of residencies.)
Harry Styles on stage for the first night of his concert residency at Madison Square Garden in New York, Aug. 20, 2022. The first two nights of a 15-concert run at Madison Square Garden were heavy on charisma, banter and nods to the past. The San Juan Daily StarAugust 26-28, 202220
CARAMANICA: That was one of the musical high points, if not the peak. It was as if a rowdy bar band momentarily inha bited Styles’ very deliberately understated crew. On Saturday, too, people absolutely lost it when the opening bars of “Best Song Ever” hit right after the conclusion of Blood Orange’s temperate and tasteful opening set. It was the purest release of pent-up demand that I’ve witnessed in quite some time. And that’s how the rest of the night went, too — demand leading supply. Fer vor without feeling (and certainly without friction). An arena-size canvas merely doodled on with pencil. And for the record, a friend lent me her pink-and-white boa for a few songs — it didn’t help.
LINDSAY ZOLADZ: Hmm, Jon, ma ybe a boa? Despite all of the construction around Madison Square Garden, I had no difficulty finding the venue’s entrance: I just followed the trail of rainbow feathers shed from the signature Styles neckwear that at least half of the audience seemed to be sporting. My thoughts today (and over the next several weeks of Styles’ 15-date resi dency) are with the Garden’s cleanup crew. I’ve long considered One Direc tion to be the quintessential boy band of the fan-service era — expertly primed to respond to the demands of their devoted, social-media savvy stan army — and after catching Styles’ show on Sunday night, I’m ready to declare him the defining solo ar tist of that era, too. I am not sure I’ve ever seen a pop star wave so much from the stage in my entire life? Roughly a third of his performance seemed to comprise wa ving, pointing and blowing kisses to va rious sections of the audience, whose vo lume approximated a jet taking off. Most of the time I could not hear Styles’ voice well enough to determine if he was hitting all the notes, though the crowd’s reaction was energetic enough that they did not seem to care. This show felt, as so much of Styles’ music does, first and foremost for the fans, which — I agree — can sometimes make the man at the center of it all feel like a bit of an CARAMANICA:enigma. Let’s try to distill the Harry Styles musical proposition. He has nowhere near the determined agita of, say, Shawn Mendes; nowhere near the vocal litheness of Justin Bieber. (Also:#FreeZayn) And it goes without saying that despite the rampant Eltonisms on display throughout Styles’ solo catalog, and the (sub?)cons cious echoes of John’s sartorial glamour in Styles’ Gucci gear, he has nowhere near John’s verve or panache. It is all quite a brittle foundation upon which to build this fame skyscraper. But yes, the waving. Also the utterlyat-ease shimmying. And that thing he did mid-show where he took a fan’s cellpho ne and tried calling her ex on it. (Josh, if you’re reading this, you got washed, buddy — everyone at Madison Square Garden hates you.) See also: him singing “Happy Birthday” to his friend Florence. Floren ce Welch, of the Machine? No. Florence Pugh, his co-star in the upcoming film “Don’t Worry Darling”? Also no. Florence, daughter of Rob Stringer, chairman of Sony Music Group? Yes. This is the essence of his appeal — his is not a top-down sort of fame. He’s the approachable but protective friend, the one who leads with good judgment and progressive wholesomeness. (At previous shows, he’s helped people come out, or to confess their love.) That’s part of why, even though public discussion of Styles of ten centers on his dating life or the ways he flirts with gender-fluidity, his actual show is conventional and chaste. The most risqué bit was when he explained how the in-theround performance would work. Some times, “we’ll be ass to face,” he said. “I’ll be sure to distribute face and ass equally throughout the show — there’s plenty to go around.” It was cheeky. Even “Watermelon Sugar,” his lightly erotic hit, was dry.
ZOLADZ: I sometimes detect a divi de between the music Styles wants to make — the big, bold, if somewhat generic-soun ding ’70s-style rock of his first album — and the more pop-oriented fare that better suits his personality. Not surprisingly, the songs that worked best for me live were the ones that manage to satisfy both of those impulses, like the groovy, Tame Impalaesque “Daylight” or the still-ubiquitous hit “As It Was.” I wish he’d ended the set on that note, but regrettably he had one more song to play after that, the stomping, LedZeppelin-cosplay rocker “Kiwi,” an unfor tunate live staple that I consider one of his weakest songs. But, as ever, he seemed to relish playing the role of bombastic rock star, even if the material itself didn’t always electrify. I found it refreshing, though, that Styles is not shying away from his former group on this tour: The first song on his preperformance playlist is One Direction’s “Best Song Ever” — much to the shrieking delight of the thousands of fans who sang along to every word — and during his set he actually played a louder and more rockoriented version of One Direction’s 2011 hit “What Makes You Beautiful,” which happens to be from an album that his for mer bandmate Louis Tomlinson recently called a disparaging word we can’t print here. How did you feel about Styles’ rau cous 1D cover, Jon?
But Styles, who came to fame as part of the British boy band One Direction, is still relatively early in his solo career, and is still establishing his sonic ideas. Two New York Times critics atten ded the first two nights of his Love on Tour run in New York to see how he wielded his gravitational pull.
JON CARAMANICA: I always liked One Direction, more or less. Or maybe I liked what the group represented: a rejec tion of the hyperprocessed boy band, and by extension an acknowledgment that doing the least can still earn you the most. They weren’t trying to delude audiences about their artistry — their casualness was foun dational to their appeal. But that approach wears thin in a solo act, and time and again during the Harry Styles show at the Garden on Saturday night, I found myself vexed. Off-the-charts charisma, collective exube rance, decently competent band, and yet at the center of it all, Styles was inscrutable. Musically, at least. I’ve rarely if ever seen someone more confident in their ownership of the stage, but everything underneath felt slight. All razzle, no dazzle. What am I mis sing? (I’m not missing anything.)
The Harry Styles show (and some music) comes to New York
Think of wine as food The logical next step is to treat wine as you would food. Too often, people never make this leap.Consumers who otherwise shop care fully, avoiding processed, chemical-laden foods in favor of simple ingredients grown organically or the equivalent, think nothing of adding pro cessed wines to their shopping carts. Instead, imagine wine as another staple for the table, applying the same standards to it as you do to the other ingredients you bring into your home.Unfortunately, it’s not simple with wine. You cannot look at the ingredients label as you might with other foods, as wine is not required to list ingredients. Instead, shop at stores that care about the quality of wines they sell. These stores will often do the hard advance work of separating and rejecting the processed wines in favor of good bottles.

Four ways to think about wine
Think of wine as an adventure When you open a bottle of good wine, you don’t always know what you are in for. That unpredictability is part of the fun. This goes against the grain for many people, which I understand. The desire for predictability and consistency is why we have franchise restaurants on interstate highways that all look the same, whether in New England, the Pacific Northwest or the Deep South. That sort of mass culture is the result of the quest for commercial efficiency. Good wine requires taking the exit ramp off the interstate to what author William Least Heat-Moon called “Blue Highways,” the back roads where local culture is most evident. Good wine is always local in nature. It may travel halfway around the world to be consumed far from its inception, but its appeal has much to do with what it reveals about its place of origin, just as the small town momand-pop cafe tells you more about where you are than any franchise restaurant ever could. The American food revolution of the 1970s was very much an exploration of region al cuisines. It was a rebellion that valued the hyperlocal over generic forms of dining such as TV dinners and continental restaurants. Gener ations of diners have now found great pleasure in getting away from the familiar and predict able in favor of the surprise of new discoveries. This is part of the joy of wine. Unexpect ed flavors and textures may lead you to new and different discoveries, expanding your realm of experience and adding to your understand ing of what’s possible and what’s wonderful.

Think of good wine as analog Good wine will always have incongrui ties, modest warts and blemishes. These irregu larities can be delightful, because the beauty of a wine is not measured by whether it approach es perfection. It’s conveyed by its soulfulness, by its individuality and distinctiveness. Good wine has warmth and character, like the analog recordings that I find far more appealing than the often-cold perfection of digital. This is not to say that digital recording is all bad. Digital, like manipulative winemaking, offers the possibility of constructing a finished product of disparate parts. Although it might sound great in the end, its artificiality can often be felt.Many people will not have a problem with that. They might wonder what else mat ters if the result sounds great, just as some wine drinkers might ask why anything else matters but the wine in the glass. The other things do matter. Many digi tal recordings, for example, use Auto-tune, a technology that can change a singer’s pitch if it strays off-key, but which might alter the swoops and wavers that give a voice character. With digital technology, producers can replace bum notes or inadvertent sounds. Imperfections are eliminated.Often, though, the greatness of a record ing, like wine, transcends whatever mistakes it contains. It’s the feeling, the energy and vibe that comes through impassioned performance. The little defects add to the character. Great wine, in a sense, is a recording of a time and place as interpreted by the people who grew the grapes and made the wine. When it’s altered in production, the wine no longer offers a faithful documentation. The result might be deli cious, but it’s lost a dimension of its character. Analog recordings can be manipulated, too. Producers can amplify the drums, reduce the bass and put the voices front and center. They are not changing the distinctive character of the recording, though. As with good wine, it was all there to begin with.

Drinking is thinking. That is, the way you think about wine affects what you choose to drink and how you generally approach wine. To give wine any thought at all is op tional. Many people see it simply as a means to an end, whether a weekend pleasure, a so cial lubricant or an alcohol delivery system. As with orange juice or diet cola, in their minds, it’s not worth much reflection beyond selecting a favorite brand. But if you find wine intriguing, and would like to choose and drink better bottles, one of the easiest and most direct methods is to adjust your mindset. Here are four ideas that will make wine a deeper and richer experience. Think of wine as coming from the earth It’s all too tempting to equate wine with the store. By the time a bottle of good wine reaches a merchant, it has already been on a long journey that began in a vineyard. So, re member that wine is something that comes from the earth rather than from a shelf. Although that may seem like a truism, it’s not obvious to a lot of people, and, as far as wine goes, it’s far from a universal truth. Yes, all wines are made from grapes. But most wine is more industrial than agricultural, manufactured from factory-farmed grapes that are manipu lated in the winery to meet carefully tailored specifications derived from focus groups and other consumer research. Wine that is processed in order to meet a preconceived flavor profile does not meet my definition of good or desirable. With good wine, the hard work is done by the farmer, whose aim is ripe grapes capable of expressing the distinctive characteristics of a vineyard. It’s a risky enterprise, in contrast to industrial farmers who prize production over quality.

“It used to be a required part of what you do — ‘If you don’t stretch, you’re going to get hurt,’” Lewis said. “That mentality is wrong.”Instead of static stretching — doing things like touch ing your toes — Lewis recommends doing dynamic stretches before you exercise, such as gently swinging each leg forward and back while standing. Static stretching can, however, help increase muscle flexibility and joint mobility, she explained. But now I know not to worry if I don’t have time to do it.
Estimating your maximum heart rate can help you gauge how hard you should be walking, running or cycling. But it’s not perfect, since your natural heart rate during exercise may be higher or lower. Plus, the fitness levels and heart rates among people the same age can vary, and not all exercises raise your heart rate the same amount. Consider talking to your doctor be fore establishing your goals. “Just moving your body in some way is going to be help ful,” Garber said. “That’s a really important message.”
A study published in March estimated that 111,000 lives could be saved each year if Americans over 40 added just 10 minutes per day to their current exercise regimen. But what if you only have five or 10 minutes to work out? Do it. “A lot of things happen in your body from the second you start to exercise,” said Carol Ewing Garber, a movement scientist at Columbia University Teachers College. And it’s possible to ex perience mental health benefits, including reduced anxiety and better sleep, right after a moderate-to-intense physical activity.

There’s rarely enough time in the day to accomplish ev erything we set out to do, and exercise is often sacrificed when we’re short on time. Federal guidelines recommend fitting 2 1/2 hours of moderate physical activity into our lives each week — and making time for muscle-strengthening exer cises. I sometimes find this guidance daunting, and I’m not alone. Only 25% of adults in the United States met those rec ommendations in 2020. So I grew curious about the research: How much physical activity does a person need to live longer and reduce their risk of chronic disease? How frequently do they actually need to work out?
Fitness facts to fuel your workout
The first 20 minutes of physical activity per session confer the most health perks, at least in terms of longevity, Lee said. As you continue working out, “the bang for your buck starts to de crease” in terms of tangible health rewards, she added.
Focus on health, not weight loss Many people exercise with weight loss in mind, but mere ly increasing physical activity usually isn’t effective. In a 2011 review of 14 published papers, scientists found that people with bigger bodies who did aerobic exercise for at least two hours a week lost an average of only 3.5 pounds over six months. And in a small 2018 clinical trial, women who did high-intensity circuit training three times a week didn’t see significant weight loss after eight weeks. (They did, however, gain muscle.)
If high-intensity interval training and hard-core spin class es make you want to hide, don’t worry. You don’t have to sweat profusely or feel wrecked after a workout to reap some rewards. Any physical activity that gets your heart beating a little faster is useful. If you’ve never tracked your heartbeat while ex ercising, it might be worth trying. For moderate exercise, the recommended target is roughly 50% to 70% of your body’s maximum heart rate. (To calculate your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220.) Many people will hit this target during a brisk walk, said Beth Lewis, a sport and exercise physi ologist at the University of Minnesota.
Exercise improves your overall health, and studies suggest it has a larger effect on life expectancy than body type. Regard less of your size, exercise reduces your risk of heart disease, some kinds of cancer, depression, Type 2 diabetes, anxiety and insomnia, Lewis said. Weekend-only routines are fine I’ve always assumed that the healthiest exercisers work out almost every day, but research suggests otherwise. In a study published last month, researchers followed more than 350,000 healthy American adults for an average of over 10 years. They found that people who exercised at least 150 minutes a week, over one or two days, were no more likely to die for any reason than those who reached 150 minutes in shorter bouts. Other studies by Lee and her colleagues have drawn similar conclu sions. When it comes to possibly living longer, “it’s actually the total amount of activity per week that’s important,” Lee said. But, she added, if you work out more often, you’re less likely to get injured.
Stretching is optional Recommendations to stretch before and after workouts annoy me, especially if I’m pressed for time. But research sug gests that stretching doesn’t actually reduce your risk of injury.
By MELINDA WENNER MOYER
No need for intensity
Exploring the science and talking to researchers generated surprising information, like you don’t need to work out every day, and stretching doesn’t automatically prevent injuries. Here are research-based insights that might make you more excited to work out. You can keep workouts short The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services rec ommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate exer cise each week from activities like biking or swimming. That cor responds to just over 20 minutes a day. Still, you can benefit from doing less, said Dr. I-Min Lee, a public health researcher who studies exercise at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

For the past month and a half, the Space Launch System rocket, which is the most powerful since the Saturn V that took astronauts to the moon in the 1960s and 1970s, has been parked in a building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. There, technicians have been getting the rocket ready for its maiden flight, which could occur in two weeks. The rollout from the building to the launchpad had been scheduled for last Thursday, but NASA announced last Monday that the move had been moved up to Tuesday evening. This all leads to the launch of NASA’s Artemis I mission, an uncrewed test of the giant rocket and the Orion spacecraft where astronauts will one day sit. What happened during the rollout?
The rocket started moving around 10 p.m. Eastern time. The transport operation got underway about an hour late because of weather in the area, including lightning. After traveling through the darkness, the rocket was in place around 7:30 a.m. before a large banner reading, “WE ARE GOING!”Itisabout 4.2 miles from NASA’s huge Vehicle Assembly Building to the launchpad, which is known as Launch Complex 39B. NASA first used the pad during the Apollo program in the 1960s. The rocket and launch tower traveled on a gigantic vehicle that NASA calls a crawler-transporter. It is the same vehicle that carried the Saturn V for the moon landings, but it has been renovated and upgraded. The crawler, indeed, crawls. Bigger in area than a baseball infield and able to carry up to 18 million pounds, it moves at a speed up to 1 mph over a gravel path to the launch site. What happens next? Technicians will be making final preparations, including hooking up power and propellant lines to the rocket and the launch tower. Although the rollout is sooner, the target time for the Artemis I launch has not changed: Monday, Aug. 29 at 8:33 a.m. Eastern time. What are the Space Launch System and Orion, and why are they important?
On Aug. 5, South Korea launched Danuri, its first robotic space probe to the moon, scheduled to arrive in midDecember.Acouple of commercial companies, ispace of Japan and Intuitive Machines of Houston, are also hoping to launch small robotic landers to the moon late this year. Two countries, India and Russia, postponed their planned robotic moon landings this year.
By KENNETH CHANG NASA’s big moon rocket rolled out to the launchpad for the third time — and it actually is slated to launch to the moon. For once, NASA is ahead of schedule.
The Space Launch System and Orion are two of the core components of NASA’s plans to return astronauts to the surface of the moon in the coming years. Getting there requires a rocket powerful enough to push a large spacecraft out of low-Earth orbit to the moon, some 240,000 miles away. Orion is a capsule designed to carry astronauts on space voyages lasting up to a few weeks. What problems occurred during the dress rehearsal?
NASA then rolled the rocket back to the Vehicle Assembly Building to conduct repairs. In June, the rocket returned to the launchpad for another attempt at the wet dress rehearsal. That attempt, on June 20, encountered a different hydrogen leak, in a fuel line connector to the rocket’s booster stage. However, the propellant tanks were fully filled for the first time, and controllers were able to continue the rehearsal until the countdown terminated with 29 seconds left. Originally, the aim was to have the countdown stop with just under 10 seconds, when the engines would start for an actual Despitelaunch.theleak, NASA officials decided that all of the critical systems had been sufficiently tested and declared the test a success. The rocket headed back for the Vehicle Assembly Building once again for final preparations, including the installation of the flight termination system, which would blow up the rocket in case something went wrong during launch and eliminate the possibility of crashing into a populated area.
The flight termination system’s batteries, installed Aug. 11, are normally only rated to last for 20 days, but the part of the United States Space Force that oversees launches from Florida, granted NASA a waiver that extends the period to 25 days. This allows the Aug. 29 launch date as well as backup opportunities on Sept. 2 and Sept. 5.
NASA hopes it fixed the hydrogen leak, but it will not know for sure until the Aug. 29 countdown, when the propellant line is cooled down to ultracold temperatures, something that cannot be tested in the Vehicle Assembly Building. What else has launched to the moon this year? What else is planned? A small NASA-financed spacecraft, CAPSTONE, is en route to the moon to explore a highly elliptical orbit where NASA plans to build a lunar outpost for future astronauts. It is scheduled to arrive in lunar orbit in November.

NASA’s big rocket reaches launchpad. Next stop: The moon.
NASA first rolled the SLS rocket to the launchpad in mid-March. In early April, it attempted to conduct a “wet dress rehearsal” of countdown procedures, including the loading of more than 700,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen rocket propellants. However, technical glitches, including a hydrogen leak during three rehearsal tries, cut the countdowns short.

Victoria Azarenka dropped from Ukraine aid event before US Open Novak Djokovic had previously said that playing in the U.S. Open would be unlikely without a rela xing of travel rules for foreign visitors to the United States.
The move came Wednesday after players from Ukrai ne complained about Azarenka’s participation in the Tennis Plays for Peace Exhibition set for Wednesday night at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, where the U.S. Open will begin next week.
Azarenka could not immediately be reached for com ment.The exhibition was to include a roster of some of the sport’s biggest stars, including Rafael Nadal, Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek and John McEnroe. It took place on Ukraine’s Inde pendence Day and the six-month anniversary of a war that seemingly has no end in sight. When the exhibition was announced earlier this month, Azarenka’s planned participation was seen as a significant statement. An overwhelming majority of athletes from Russia and Belarus, which has served as a staging ground for the Rus sian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukrai ne, has resisted speaking out against the war or expressing any sympathy for victims in Ukraine for a variety of reasons. Those can include sup port for the war or fear for their safety or that of their relatives who still live in their countries even if the players do not.
The stalemate between Novak Djokovic and the U.S. government reached its inevitable conclusion Thurs day as the unvaccinated Wimbledon champion pulled out of the U.S. Open. The United States has lifted many of the restrictions re lated to the coronavirus and travel. However, unvaccinated foreigners are still not allowed to enter the country. Djokovic, who has had COVID-19 at least twice, has been steadfast in his refusal to get vaccinated, arguing that it should be a per sonal decision rather than a requirement.
“Sadly, I will not be able to travel to NY this time for US Open,” Djokovic wrote on Twitter on Thursday morning, hours before the draw for the tournament that is scheduled to start Monday. “Thank you #NoleFam for your messages of love and support. Good luck to my fellow players! I’ll keep in good shape and positive spirit and wait for an op portunity to compete again. See you soon tennis world!” Djokovic’s refusal to be vaccinated set off a political firestorm in January when he announced he had received a special exemption to enter Australia to play in the Australian Open, the first tennis major of the year. Djokovic ultimately left the country without defending his singles title there, after a twist-filled saga ended with a ruling by a three-judge panel that affirmed the Australian government’s decision to cancel the star athlete’s visa. Djokovic was able to play in the French Open and Wimbledon after France and England relaxed their require ments that visitors be vaccinated. But as he sat next to his Wimbledon trophy in July after winning his 21st Grand Slam title, Djokovic said it appeared unlikely that he would play in the U.S. Open because he had no plans to get vaccina ted and did not anticipate the U.S. government changing its rules.The U.S. Tennis Association said earlier this summer that it would not seek an exemption on Djokovic’s behalf. By not playing, Djokovic is giving up a chance to draw even with Rafael Nadal for the most men’s singles Grand Slam titles (Nadal has 22 and Djokovic has 21).
By MATTHEW FUTTERMAN
Stacey Allaster, the U.S. Open tournament director, said she had called Azarenka, the former world No. 1, and asked her to participate in the event, which is kicking off a $2 million fundrai sing campaign, when it was still in its planning stages. “It was a quick response,” Allaster said of her conversation with Azarenka, 33, whom she has known for more than 15 years. “She said, ‘This is a player choice, and I want to play.’”
“I think we missed that opportunity, but I hope we can still show it,” she said. But with their country under attack and their relatives’ lives in danger, players from Ukraine are not feeling any de sire to show a sense of unity with players from Russia and Belarus.The International Tennis Federation, the men’s and women’s professional tours and the other three Grand Slam tournaments have barred Russian and Belarusian teams from competitions and prohibit players from those countries from playing under their flags. But the locker rooms and other common spaces at tournaments continue to be places of tension. Players from Ukraine, including Dayana Yastremska and Lesia Tsurenko, have spoken about their discomfort with being around Rus sian and Belarusian players, some of whom, they assume, support Putin. They have said Russian players have made little effort to reach out to them to express empathy for what they are experiencing.

Djokovic, who remains unvaccinated, says he will miss US Open
Azarenka, a leader in the WTA, had been highly critical of Wimbledon and Britain’s Lawn Tennis Association, which in April barred players from Russia and Belarus from playing in the annual tournaments in England earlier this year.
Azarenka now largely lives in the United States but for years had a friendly relationship with President Alexander Lukashenko, the authoritarian leader who has ruled Belarus since 1994 and has appeared with Azarenka on multiple oc casions.During the Citi Open in Washington, D.C., earlier this month, Azarenka told Tennis.com that Wimbledon was “a big opportunity to show how sports can unite.”
“In the last 24 hours, after careful consideration and dia logue with all parties involved, Victoria Azarenka will not be participating in our Tennis Plays for Peace Exhibition this evening,” the United States Tennis Association announced in a statement. “Vika is a strong player leader, and we appre ciate her willingness to participate. Given the sensitivities to Ukrainian players, and the ongoing conflict, we believe this is the right course of action for us.”
By MATTHEW FUTTERMAN The U.S. Open’s attempt to show that sports could help build a bridge to peace in a time of war suffered a ma jor blow this week when the tournament was forced to drop Victoria Azarenka of Belarus from participating in an exhibition to raise money for relief efforts in Ukraine just hours before its start.
Claude Brown, Gibson’s first cousin and author of the bestselling autobio graphical novel “Manchild in the Prom ised Land,” also grew up in Harlem, surrounded by alcoholism and street vio lence, which he wrote about in the book. By age 9, the protagonist of “Manchild” had been “hit by a bus, thrown into the Harlem River (intentionally), hit by a car, severely beaten with a chain” and had set the house on fire. Gibson was no stranger to such hardships. A towering girl from her earli est days, she spent much of her time on the street shoplifting and fighting with street gangs. Her father, Daniel Gibson, a garage worker, hoped that his daughter would become a competitive boxer, and regularly took her to the rooftop of their building for training. But when his les sons sometimes turned into beatings, she headed to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, as she wrote in her autobiography, which gave her shelter.

By SALLY H. JACOBS O n a sweltering day in the summer of 1957, a slender young woman from Harlem became the first Black player to win the hallowed Wimble don tennis tournament in England. After receiving the Venus Rosewater Dish from Queen Elizabeth II, Althea Gibson, 29, at tended the Wimbledon Ball that evening, spinning around the dance floor in the arms of the Duke of Devonshire.
AUTORIZADOFUNERAL
Next year, the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, Queens, the former home of the U.S. Open, where Gibson braved racist taunts in her first appearance in the majors, plans to honor her at its stadium centennial. There is also the possibility of a quarter bearing her likeness in 2025.

All the recognition might come across as cold comfort to Gibson, according to Michael Giangrande, whose father was an executive at the sporting goods store that provided her with free rackets. Giangrande, who is scheduled to speak at the street renaming, remembers Gibson lamenting that her trophies were the only things of value she got out of tennis, which at the time did not offer cash purses. “She and my dad often joked about it, calling the trophies ‘tin cups,’” he said. “Every one was making money off the sport ex cept for the players.”
The celebration continued in Manhat tan, where Gibson was feted with the first ticker-tape parade up Broadway to honor a woman of color. But the following day, the illusion that the new queen of tennis had ushered in a chapter of racial equity shattered. When Gibson arrived in a Chicago suburb for her next tournament, she was refused a room at all of the upscale hotels, one of which also rejected a request to book a luncheon in her honor. “Midnight had come for Cinderella, not in some small Mississippi town, but in liberal Greater Chicago,” a reporter wrote in Saturday Review magazine. Back in London, the fairy tale disap pearedLewovernight.Hoad,the Wimbledon men’s singles champion who had danced with Gibson at the ball, awoke the next morn ing to a pile of angry messages, according to his widow, Jenny Hoad. “There were just hundreds of letters from people who accused him of breaking the rules, saying, ‘You have no right to dance with colored people,’ ” she recalled. “We didn’t even read most of them.”
But Gibson had no intention of let ting the discrimination she had battled for most of her life stop her rise and imminent reign. Two months later, she became the first Black tennis player to win the tourna ment now known as the U.S. Open, and by the end of the year, she had become the first Black woman to be ranked No. 1 in the world. Her fortitude and persever ance paved the way for Black tennis play ers to come after her, like Arthur Ashe, Zina Garrison and the Williams sisters. Although largely overlooked after the 1950s, Gibson is at long last starting to get her due. On Thursday, which would have been her 95th birthday, the block of 143rd Street in Harlem where she first held a racket was to be renamed Althea Gibson Way. A life-size statue of a teen age Gibson, intended to be erected near the block, is currently in the making. Later Thursday, Gibson was to be honored in a program at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, home of the U.S. Open, as the tournament begins its 142nd consecutive year. The event, called Divine Nine, is a celebration of fra ternities and sororities at historically Black colleges and universities. (Gibson attend ed Florida A&M.)
To understand how much that has changed, consider Serena Williams. The second Black woman to win a Grand Slam singles title, Williams would go on to win 22 more, becoming the most decorated athlete, male or female, to play competi tive tennis in the past 20 years. As such, she has also become a top earner, with a net worth of $260 million. When Williams recently announced her probable retirement following this year’s U.S. Open, she had already start ed a professional pivot involving venture capital, among other projects. Gibson, on the other hand, left tennis only to strug gle financially for most of her life, mak ing ends meet by touring with the Harlem Globetrotters and working as a commu nity representative for a national baking company, at times dabbling in acting and singing, until her death in 2003. (Serena and Venus Williams are known admirers of Gibson. In 1999, Ser ena, then 17, faxed Gibson a list of ques tions in connection with a school project, and the sisters used a photo of Gibson on the back cover of a Black history newslet ter they created.)
Gibson struggled with poverty for most of her life. A part of the Great Mi gration, her family left South Carolina in 1929. She arrived in Harlem as a toddler months before the stock market crashed. Making matters worse, her family wound up on 143rd Street, which bordered what was known as “the lung block,” because the death rate from tuberculosis among residents there was twice that of other Manhattan neighborhoods, according to the 1939 New York City Guide.

Before Serena, there was Althea
Another haven for Gibson was the Apollo Theater. She loved to sing and play the saxophone, and routinely played hooky to attend the performances there. In 1943, she won second prize in a vocal competi tion on the Apollo stage. But instead of a week of singing engagements there, which she had been promised, Gibson was award ed a prize of $10. “I couldn’t complain,” Gibson wrote in her autobiography. “That $10 bought a mess of fried chicken, collard greens and root beer.” For Gibson, competition was a way of life. She took to just about any sport involv ing a ball. Basketball was one of her favor ites, and she was the fastest member of the Mysterious Girls Athletic Club, the prize winning Harlem basketball team. Once, she and her teammates ran into champion boxer Sugar Ray Robinson in a bowling alley, and she promptly challenged him, declaring, “I can beat you at bowling right now!” In 1937, when the Police Athletic League cordoned off 143rd Street to pro vide a safe play space for children, Gibson, 10, discovered paddle tennis. Two years later, she became the city’s paddle tennis champion. Not long after, Buddy Walker, a Harlem bandleader and a supervisor for the league, bought Gibson a pair of used tennis rackets.By her own account, Gibson did not originally feel like tennis would be a natural fit for her. “I remember thinking to myself that it was kind of like a matador going into the bull ring, beautifully dressed, bowing in all directions,” she wrote in her autobi ography. “And all the time having nothing in mind except sticking that sword into the bull’s guts and killing him dead as hell.”
Walker also introduced her to the Cosmopolitan Club, the local Black tennis club where the most prosperous Harlem residents played. Soon, she was beating everyone she played. Club members took up a collection and sent her to tournaments around the country sponsored by the Amer ican Tennis Association, a league for Black players.By1947, at the age of 20, Gibson won her first ATA title and went on to win 10 national championships, a record that still stands.Bob Davis, one of Gibson’s hitting part ners, remembers that she was so aggressive on the court that just rallying with her could be intimidating.“Altheawas a tough girl,” recalled Da vis, himself a four-time ATA champion and 2006 U.S. Tennis Association mixed dou bles champion. “She would be perfectly happy to knock you down with the ball. She did hit me. Every time we played, she would try and hit Gibsonme.”smashed and lobbed her way to the top ranks of tennis, breaking the color barrier to the sport in 1950 when she be came the first Black person to compete in the U.S. Open. By decade’s end, she had amassed a total of 11 Grand Slam titles, in cluding multiple championships at Wimble don, the U.S. Open and the French Open, where, in 1956, she won titles in singles and doubles. But for Gibson, even that wasn’t enough. As soon as she retired from tennis, she jumped into another sport, and in 1964 became the first Black woman to join the Ladies Professional Golf Association.

“Everything Althea had to do was three times harder than it was for a nonperson of color,” said Katrina Adams, a former profes sional tennis player and the first Black per son to be president of the USTA. “For me, what she did was transcendent.”
The claims were filed under a California law allowing survivors of childhood sexual abuse to file lawsuits. The law, which went into effect in January 2020 and expires at the end of this year, has resulted in thousands of claims accusing coaches, teachers, clergy and others of sexual abuse. While numerous claims have been settled, only a few have gone to trial — in cluding one involving a former high school tennis star from Marin County, north of San Francisco, who was abused by his coach and awarded $10 million in damages by a jury in May.

By DAVID W. CHEN T wo women filed lawsuits in California this week alleging that George Fore man, a former world heavyweight boxing champion, sexually abused them when they were teenagers in California in the 1970s.According to the lawsuits, the women, using the pseudonyms Gwen H. and Denise S. to protect their identities, initially met Foreman through their fathers when they were younger than 10 years old. One man was a boxer and sparring partner of Fore man, while the other was a boxing manager and longtime adviser to Foreman.
Foreman is accused of sexual abuse
After winning a gold medal at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, he beat Joe Fra zier for the world heavyweight title in 1973 and then lost it the next year to Muhammad Ali in the classic Rumble in the Jungle bout in Congo, then called Zaire. Foreman then struggled financially, before discovering religion. He mounted a comeback, at age 38, with a smiling and af fable manner that was in marked contrast to his earlier persona, and later became the oldest heavyweight champion in history.
“Over the past six months, two women have been trying to extort millions of dollars each from me and my family. They are false ly claiming that I sexually abused them over 45 years ago in the 1970s. I adamant ly and categorically deny these allegations,” Foreman said.He added: “I will work with my lawyers to fully and truthfully expose my accus ers’ scheme and defend my self in court. I don’t pick fights, but I don’t run away from them either.”
Foreman then groomed the girls for several years, according to the complaints, before forcing them to have sex with him in places ranging from a San Francisco hotel to an apartment in Beverly Hills. The two women, who are both in their early 60s, filed the complaints in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday. Foreman also told one plaintiff, accord ing to the complaint, that she could never tell anyone about their relationship: “You don’t want your dad to lose his job, do you?”
