aced with the demands of island health professionals regarding their salaries and working conditions, Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia said Wednesday that those demands will be met thanks to changes to the Vital government-sponsored health plan. “We are in the process of significantly changing the Vital program, the Vital plan, to, among other things, make sure that medical providers, including physicians, are fairly compensated,” the governor said in response to questions from the press. “A [compensation] rate will be established that is mandatory, not suggested. Right now, the program works based on a rate that is suggested.” “If I remember correctly, 70 percent of the Medicare fees,” he continued. “In the next round that begins in January of next year, it will be required. And we are going to be requiring, among other things, that specialists and subspecialists receive compensation that is comparable to that received by their counterparts in the states. Access to doctors in the Vital plan records will be streamlined so that their entry and permissions to render services to the program are not difficult. It will be required that when the doctor is already contracted, his contract cannot be canceled except for just cause. The Insurance Commissioner of Puerto Rico is also stepping in, interceding between doctors and insurance plans to verify that practices are safe.” Earlier in the day, General Workers Union (UGT by its Spanish initials) employees who work in the Department of Health demanded fair wages, along with the recruitment of the necessary personnel to face the existing crisis in Puerto Rico’s health system. “These personnel who are here this morning demand that they be given salary justice at a time when our country’s health system is once again experiencing a crisis,” UGT President Gerson Guzmán López said in a written statement. “In recent days, what we have been denouncing for years has been in the news, the lack of personnel in hospital institutions and health services due to miserable wages and poor employment conditions.” Guzmán López attributed the labor flight and lack of personnel to the uncompetitive salaries earned by professionals who, due to the lack of personnel, often have to work 12-hour shifts. “Many of these workers have base salaries that, after due deductions, are reduced to $500 every two weeks,” the union leader said. “These workers are essential and indispensable in the country’s health service institutions and deserve fair pay. The flight of this valuable personnel is due, on many occasions, to the fact that they accept job offers outside the island where they are paid up to

General Workers Union President Gerson Guzmán López more than double what they are paid here. As long as the salaries are not attractive and competitive, the lack and exodus of personnel will continue to increase.” On Tuesday, Physicians and Surgeons Association President Carlos Díaz Vélez said that if the government and the Financial Oversight and Management Board continue to not give priority to the medical services crisis on the island, then health professionals will urge their patients to express themselves in the streets. “We doctors have been listening to the different sectors of society and to health professionals, and we see that the indignation and pain that we feel and that the people feel, and what they suffer, is increasingly similar to the climate that led to the historic events of the summer of 2019,” Díaz Vélez said at a press conference. “I do not rule out the probability that tens of thousands of health professionals will call on the people to express themselves on the streets, on the highways and everywhere, to put an end to the tyranny that the insurers have assembled together with the governments in office.” He spoke about several initiatives that have been presented to address the situation, but have not been met with support from elected leaders. The initiatives proposed by the Physicians and Surgeons Association require private organizations, the House of Representatives, the Senate and the governor to put action into words. Some require legislation to amend laws, some require the passage of new laws, and others may be passed by executive order. The current situation calls for urgent action from all sectors, Díaz Vélez said.

Energy regulator approves LUMA request to shift $47 million to operating budget By THE STAR STAFF

he Puerto Rico Energy Bureau (PREB) approved on Wednesday a budget amendment requested by LUMA Energy to reallocate $47 million from its non-federally funded capital budgets to its operating budget to provide for higher than anticipated labor expenditures for fiscal year (FY) 2022. In support of the request, LUMA cited the need to have trained and qualified essential utility workers, provide safety and operational training for the existing workforce, perform foundational activities to support advancing federally funded work and address the severe backlog of uncompleted work left at the commencement of LUMA operations, which required an increase in the private consortium’s operating budget. LUMA stated that the increased operating budget funds will be drawn from the non-federally funded capital budget, primarily from the distribution, substation, and enabling improvement portfolios, which are forecast to be under budget for FY 2022. LUMA noted in the document that lower than anticipated non-federally funded capital expenditures in the distribution improvement portfolio are primarily the result of lower than anticipated spending in the distribution automation program, which is seeking federal fund-

In support of the request to move funds to its operating budget, LUMA Energy cited, among other reasons, the need to have trained and qualified essential utility workers, to provide safety and operational training for the existing workforce, and to perform foundational activities to support advancing federally funded work. ing for equipment that will increase the portion of the program that is federally funded. LUMA also stated it was awaiting receipt of equipment, delivery of which has been slower than anticipated due to foundational activities and disruptions in the global supply chain. LUMA asserted that these factors have resulted in some activities being deferred until FY 2023 as reflected in the FY 2023 Annual Budget. LUMA also proposed to reallocate $29 million between improvement portfolios, moving costs to the Enabling Improvement

Portfolio for increased spending within the Health, Safety, Environment & Quality and Technical Improvement programs, in accord with the significant level of safety and technical training provided throughout FY 2022. The 2021 Financial Oversight and Management Board-Certified Fiscal Plan reflected updated macro-economic assumptions provided by the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority and increased the base rate revenue forecast by some $60 million.

Increases in the generation and other budgets of $44 million partially offset that increase. As an initial matter, the PREB noted that the amendment request does not result in increased customer base rates and does not result in an increase to LUMA’s aggregate expenditures. “In view of the inability of LUMA to fully discover the extent of the training and onboarding that would be required, the extent of unfulfilled work orders and the minimal work executed to facilitate federal funding before LUMA assumed operations as operator, the Energy Bureau has no objection to the specified reallocation of funds among Improvement Portfolios to further these important goals” the PREB said. “Notwithstanding the foregoing, the window for justifications based on lack of actual information is closed. The Energy Bureau warns LUMA that any future reallocation or redistribution of funds amongst budget programs or line items shall be timely anticipated and requested before the Energy Bureau. Furthermore, the Energy Bureau ADMONISHES LUMA and PREPA of the need for effective coordination. The Distribution, Substation and Enabling Portfolios, from which the Non-Federally funded capital funds for re-allocation to the Operating Budget will be primarily drawn, must not be detrimentally affected as a result and System Remediation must continue apace.”

Contractor pleads guilty in Cataño bribery case By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

ontractor Mario Villegas Vargas, 42, pleaded guilty Wednesday to participating in a bribery scheme involving then-Cataño Mayor Félix “El Cano” Delgado Montalvo for municipal contracts that benefited Villegas Vargas’s asphalt and paving company. Beginning in or about June 2017, Villegas Vargas and “Individual B,” co-owners of an asphalt and paving company, conspired to pay bribes and kickbacks to Delgado Montalvo, who at the time was the mayor of Cataño. The purpose of the payments was to help ensure that his company was awarded and would continue to be awarded municipal contracts as opportunities arose in Cataño, according to authorities. Villegas Vargas and Individual B together paid more than

$95,000 in bribes to the then-mayor Delgado Montalvo in exchange for asphalt removal and concrete paving contracts in the municipality. Villegas Vargas pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to participate in a bribery scheme. He faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison. A U.S. District Court judge will determine a sentence after considering federal sentencing guidelines and other legal factors. Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Polite Jr. of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice, W. Stephen Muldrow, United States Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico, and Special Agent in Charge Joseph González of the FBI Field Office in San Juan made the announcement. The investigation was conducted by the FBI’s San Juan Field Office. Trial attorneys Nicholas Cannon and Ryan Crosswell of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section, and Assistant

U.S. Attorney Seth Erbe of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Puerto Rico are prosecuting the case.

Governor defends police reform in aftermath of teen car thief’s slaying By THE STAR STAFF

ollowing recent allegations of police brutality, including the recent death of a 16-year-old who had stolen a car, Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia defended the police reform on Wednesday. “This reform is very important. It is supposed to end before the end of 2023. I personally want to know how we are doing in compliance with the different lines of the reform,” the governor said in response to questions from the press. “This type of consent decree reform should not be permanent, it should not be extended. The United States courts have spoken about this; the United States Department of Justice has spoken about this. In other words, the reforms must have a beginning and an end.” He noted that the reform is headed by a federal judge to ensure there is compliance. “One of the things is the continuous training of the force and there has been great progress,” Pierluisi said. “Also, what you are looking for is that there are protocols. There has also been great progress in establishing protocols, among other things, for the use of force by police during interventions, in statistics, monitoring, internal investigations; this reform affects all these areas. They are all important areas. Some criticize it; I rather see it as a tool to improve the performance of our public service, in this case, the Puerto Rico Police.” In 2011, the federal Justice Department after a three-year

Gov. Pedro Pierluisi probe announced that the Puerto Rico Police Department (now Bureau) had engaged in patterns of misconduct that violate the Constitution and federal law, including patterns or practices of using excessive force during routine police activities, relying on unreasonable force in response to public demonstrations, conducting unlawful searches and seizures, and engaging in discriminatory police practices. In 2013 the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Department of Justice voluntarily entered into a consent decree in which the Police Department agreed to execute a series of reforms. Regarding recent cases involving the use of police force, the governor said he trusts the investigations that are

underway, noting that if they conclude that police officers engaged in excessive use of force, then they should pay. This week, seven police officers were suspended after shooting a 16-year-old to death who had stolen a vehicle, arguing that the teenage suspect was going to hit them with the vehicle. “I am sure that it will be thoroughly investigated and if someone acted improperly, then he will have to answer to the law,” Pierluisi said. “But that is in the hands of the NIE [Special Investigations Bureau by its Spanish initials] investigators, supervised by the Public Integrity Division of the Department of Justice. I trust our officials in the area of public order. I know that this situation will be clarified as the people expect.” The governor also expressed solidarity with the two police officers who were injured after a chase in Toa Baja. “Meanwhile, today we had an incident where two police officers were injured. They were investigating a murder and unfortunately they were ambushed and are injured,” Pierluisi said. “And this reminds us all that members of the police force put their lives at risk every day when they are on the streets protecting us. So my solidarity to those officers; I hope they recover soon, and as for the murders [they were investigating], we want every one to be clarified.” The governor made his statements after participating along with Canóvanas Mayor Lornna Soto Villanueva in the “Strength for Puerto Rico” service fair, where he toured the New Municipal School of Fine Arts.

Court grants request for information on green energy projects By THE STAR STAFF

he San Juan Superior Court granted on Wednesday a request from a group of environmental organizations to obtain information on 18 industrial-scale renewable energy projects approved this year by the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau (PREB). The projects are part of the planned transformation of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) to renewable energy sources. The PREB objected to disclosing details on the projects because they were supposedly “confidential” information. Judge Anthony Cuevas Ramos said there was no controversy about whether the requested information was public, but rather about when it should be delivered. Through the ruling, the court determined that the information be delivered to the plaintiff organizations. “Judge Anthony Cuevas has given a verdict for the truth and transparency that is sorely lacking in this country,” said Marissa Reyes, coordinator of El Puente-Latin Link for Climate Action (ELAC), in a written statement. “With this information we can advocate for our farm and conservation lands to stay that way. We have enough skies to produce our energy in a decentralized manner and at fair and accessible costs. We hope to always have

the support of citizens to continue advocating for a fair and accessible Puerto Rico.” Víctor Alvarado, from the Environmental Dialogue Committee, stated that “there must be transparency” on the part of the government in industrial energy projects that have the potential to destroy thousands of agricultural acres and affect communities. “Behind the ‘confidential information’ that government agencies argue about in processes with private companies, corruption, conflicts of interest and contamination always hide, actions that end up affecting the health, safety and life of many families,” Alvarado added. It was after signing power purchase and operating agreements (PPOAs) with nine of the firms on June 30 that the PREB revealed that it had signed PPOAs with the following firms: Tetris Power, which operates a 20-megawatt (MW) solar park in Arecibo at a projected cost of $30 million; Coamo Convergent Energy Storage, which is operating a 100 MW solar park in Coamo for a projected cost of $120 million; CS-UR Juncos, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar, which is slated to operate a 100 MW solar farm in Juncos and Las Piedras; Pattern Vega Baja Solar, which is operating a 25 MW solar park the cost of which is estimated at some $50 million; Solaner Puerto Rico One, a subsidiary of Alener, which is operating a 35 MW solar park in San Germán; Ciro Two Salinas, with

The industrial-scale solar energy projects that are the subject of the information request are part of the planned transformation of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority to renewable energy sources. a 33 MW solar farm in Salinas; Guayama Solar Energy, with a 25 MW solar park in Guayama whose cost is estimated at $41 million; Pattern Barceloneta Solar, a 60 MW solar plant in Barceloneta; and YNF Yabucoa Solar, a 20 MW solar park in Yabucoa.

Election victories by Trump allies showcase his grip on the GOP base By SHANE GOLDMACHER

rimary victories in Arizona and Michigan for allies of former President Donald Trump on Tuesday reaffirmed his continued influence over the Republican Party, as he has sought to cleanse the party of his critics, install loyalists in key swing-state offices and scare off potential 2024 rivals with a show of brute political force. In Arizona, Trump’s choice for Senate, Blake Masters, won a crowded primary as did his pick for secretary of state, Mark Finchem, an election denier who has publicly acknowledged his affiliation with the far-right Oath Keepers militia group. The governor’s race was virtually tied early Wednesday, even as Trump’s pick, Kari Lake, was badly outspent. And in a particularly symbolic victory for Trump, Rusty Bowers, the Republican speaker of the Arizona House who gained national attention after testifying against Trump at the Jan. 6 congressional hearings, lost his bid for state Senate. In Michigan, a House Republican who voted to impeach Trump, Rep. Peter Meijer, was defeated by a former Trump administration official, John Gibbs, and Trump’s lastminute choice for governor, the conservative commentator Tudor Dixon, who has echoed his false claims of election fraud, easily won her primary. Trump and his allies have been particularly focused on the vote-counting and certification process in both Arizona and Michigan, seeking to oust those who stood in the way of their attempts to overturn the 2020 election. The victory of Finchem, who marched on the Capitol on Jan. 6, was a key sign of how the “Stop the Steal” movement that was formed on a falsehood about 2020 has morphed into a widespread campaign to try to take control of the levers of democracy before the coming elections. Tuesday’s primaries in five states — Arizona, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas and Washington state — kicked off a final six-week stretch of races that will provide the fullest picture of the Republican Party’s priorities in 2022, how tight Trump’s hold remains on the base and the extent to which his falsehoods about a stolen election in 2020 have infected the electorate. In Washington state, Trump had bac-

Trump personally called Gibbs to congratulate him. “Yes, sir, your endorsements have a really, really good record,” Gibbs told him. “I’m very proud of you. That’s a great job,” Trump said. The meddling by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for a pro-Trump candidate has earned backlash from fellow Democrats, who saw such involvement as undermining the party’s overall message that election deniers are a threat to democracy. “I’m disgusted that hard-earned money intended to support Democrats is being used to boost Trump-endorsed candidates,” Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota said last month, calling Meijer “one of the most honorable Republicans in Congress.” For the other two Trump impeachers, Tudor Dixon, center, prepares to give her acceptance speech in Grand Rapids, Mich., after Washington state’s top-two primary system winning the Republican nomination for governor. was poised to help them survive, drawing a larger crowd of candidates and splitting the ked challengers to two Republican House and shifting politics of the issue in the wake vote among their Republican rivals.

Kansas retains abortion rights in critical post-Roe referendum

Supporters of the group Value Them Both rally in favor of Amendment 2, in Shawnee, Kan., July 30, 2022. By MITCH SMITH and KATIE GLUECK

ansas voters resoundingly decided against removing the right to abortion from the state constitution, according to The Associated Press, a major victory for the abortion rights movement in one of America’s reliably conservative states. The defeat of the ballot referendum was the most tangible demonstration yet of a political backlash against the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that had protected abortion rights throughout the country. The decisive margin — 60% to 39%, with about 80% of the votes counted as of Tuesday night — came as a surprise, and after frenzied campaigns with both sides pouring millions into advertising and knocking on doors throughout a sweltering final campaign stretch. “The voters in Kansas have spoken loud and clear: We will not tolerate extreme bans on abortion,” said Rachel Sweet, the campaign manager for Kansans for Constitutional Freedom, which led the effort to defeat the amendment. Sweet told supporters that a willingness to work across partisan lines and ideological differences helped their side win. Registered Republicans far outnumber Democrats in Kansas — and abortion

rights activists made explicit appeals to unaffiliated voters and center-right voters. In interviews last week in populous Johnson County, Kansas, a number of voters said they were registered Republicans but opposed the amendment — a dynamic that almost certainly played out across the state, given the margin. “We’re watching the votes come in, we’re seeing the changes of some of the counties where Donald Trump had a huge percentage of the vote, and we’re seeing that just decimated,” said Jo Dee Adelung, 63, a Democrat from Merriam, Kansas, who knocked on doors and called voters in recent weeks. She said she hoped the result sent a message that voters are “really taking a look at all of the issues and doing what’s right for Kansas and not just going down party lines.” The vote in Kansas, three months before the midterm elections, was the first time American voters weighed in directly on the issue of abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade this summer. The referendum, watched closely by national figures on both sides of the abortion debate, took on added importance because of Kansas’ location, abutting states where abortion is already banned in nearly all cases. More than $12 million has been spent on advertising,

split about evenly between the two camps. The amendment, had it passed, would have removed abortion protections from the state constitution and paved the way for legislators to ban or restrict abortions. “We’ve been saying that after a decision is made in Washington, that the spotlight would shift to Kansas,” said David Langford, a retired engineer from Leawood, Kansas, who wanted the amendment to pass, and who reached out to Protestant pastors to rally support. While Kansas has a history of voting for governors of both parties, the state almost always backs Republicans for president — Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 was a notable exception. It is a largely white state and many Kansans identify as Christians, with a sizable evangelical constituency. Roman Catholic Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas, has long been a hero to many conservative Catholics for his ardent opposition to abortion, contraception and gay marriage. The push for an amendment was rooted in a 2019 ruling by the Kansas Supreme Court that struck down some abortion restrictions and found that the right to an abortion was guaranteed by the state constitution. That decision infuriated Republicans, who had spent years passing abortion restrictions and campaigning on the issue. They used their supermajorities in the Legislature last year to place the issue on the 2022 ballot. That state-level fight over abortion limits took on far greater meaning after the nation’s top court overturned Roe, opening the door in June for states to go beyond restrictions and outlaw abortions entirely. The Catholic Church and other religious and conservative groups spent heavily to back the amendment, while national supporters of abortion rights poured millions of dollars into the race to oppose it. Supporters of the amendment had said repeatedly that the amendment itself would not ban abortion, and Republican lawmakers were careful to avoid telegraphing what their legislative plans would be if it passed. “Voting yes doesn’t mean that abortion won’t be allowed, it means we’re going to allow our legislators to determine the scope of abortion,” said Mary Jane Muchow of Overland Park, Kansas, who supported the amendment. “I think abortion should be legal, but I think there should be limitations on it.” If the amendment had passed, though, the question was not whether Republicans

would try to wield their commanding legislative majorities to pass new restrictions, but how far they would go in doing so. Many Kansans who support abortion rights said they feared that a total or near-total abortion ban would be passed within months Abortion is now legal in Kansas up to 22 weeks of pregnancy. “I don’t want to become another state that bans all abortion for any reason,” said Barbara Grigar of Overland Park, who identified herself as a moderate and said she was voting against the amendment. “Choice is every woman’s choice, and not the government’s.” In recent years, and especially in the weeks since Roe fell, Kansas has become a haven of abortion access in a region where that is increasingly rare. Even before the Supreme Court’s action, nearly half of the abortions performed in Kansas involved out-of-state residents. Now Oklahoma and Missouri have banned the procedure in almost all cases, Nebraska may further restrict abortion in the next few months, and women from Arkansas and Texas, where new bans are in place, are traveling well beyond their states’ borders. Kansas voters are generally conservative on many issues, but polling before the referendum suggested a close race and nuanced public opinions on abortion. The state is not a political monolith: Besides its Democratic governor, a majority of Kansas Supreme Court justices were appointed by Democrats, and Rep. Sharice Davids, a Democrat, represents the Kansas City suburbs in Congress. Davids’ district was once a moderate Republican stronghold, but it has been trending toward Democrats in recent years. Her reelection contest in November in a redrawn district may be one of the most competitive House races in the country, and party strategists expect the abortion debate to play an important role in districts like hers that include swaths of upscale suburbs. Political strategists have been particularly attuned to turnout in the Kansas City suburbs, and are seeking to gauge how galvanizing abortion is, especially for swing voters and Democrats in a post-Roe environment. “They’re going to see how to advise their candidates to talk about the issue, they’re going to be looking at every political handicap,” said James Carville, the veteran Democratic strategist. “Every campaign consultant, everybody is watching this thing like it’s the Super Bowl.”

Senate passes bill to expand benefits for veterans exposed to toxins By STEPHANIE LAI

he Senate on Tuesday approved a bill to create a new entitlement program to treat veterans who may have been exposed to toxic substances from burning trash pits on U.S. military bases, sending President Joe Biden legislation that would expand medical care eligibility to an estimated 3.5 million people. The bill was approved on a lopsided bipartisan vote, 86-11, only days after Republicans pulled their support in a dispute over how to pay for the benefits, imperiling the legislation and drawing days of angry protests from veterans who gathered outside the Capitol to demand action. The measure would be the biggest expansion of veterans’ benefits since the Agent Orange Act of 1991, which increased access to care for Vietnam War veterans who had been exposed to the toxic herbicide that endangered generations of Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians. The new legislation would effectively presume that any American service member stationed in a combat zone for the last 32 years could have been exposed to toxic substances, allocating a projected $280 billion over the next decade to treat ailments tied to those exposures and streamlining veterans’ access to such care. The House approved the bill last month, and Biden, who has championed the measure, was expected to quickly sign it. He has speculated that toxic substances from burn pits contributed to the brain cancer that killed his son Beau Biden, who served in Iraq, in 2015. “While we can never fully repay the enormous debt we owe to those who have worn the uniform, today the United States Congress took important action to meet this sacred obligation,” he said in a statement Tuesday night, adding that the legislation “could be the difference between life and death for many suffering from toxic related illnesses.” The legislation had drawn broad support on Capitol Hill, but just as it was expected to clear the Senate last week, Republicans in the chamber abruptly

withdrew their backing, insisting that Democrats allow them a chance to limit the funding available to treat veterans. The bill would provide guaranteed funding for treating veterans exposed to toxins by setting up a dedicated fund that would not be subject to the annual congressional spending process. Sen. Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., warned that the measure was written in a way that could allow for immense new spending unrelated to veterans’ care. Toomey tried and failed to cap the amount of money that could be put into the fund every year, a move that Denis McDonough, the secretary of Veterans Affairs, had warned could lead to “rationing of care for vets.” Toomey also proposed shifting the fund for treating veterans into so-called discretionary spending after a decade, meaning that the Department of Veterans Affairs would have to request funding each year. That would subject the funding to Congress’ approval and the annual partisan spending battles on Capitol Hill, rather than having it guaranteed. Democrats opposed both efforts, saying the legislation did not need to be changed. “This is a bill that will work for this country, that will work for the taxpayers of this country and it will work, most importantly, for the veterans and their families,” said Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., chair of the Veterans Affairs Committee. Susan Zeier, the mother-in-law of Heath Robinson, a member of the Ohio Army National Guard for whom the bill is named, had been protesting outside the Capitol for days to urge the Senate to pass the measure before leaving for its summer recess. Robinson served in Iraq and died in 2020 after battling lung cancer believed to have been tied to burn pit exposure, and the bill is called the Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022. “For me and my daughter, this is the satisfaction that we fulfilled our promise to Heath,” Zeier said. “We hope families don’t suffer like we did.”

‘I want you to hear this’: A Sandy Hook mother confronts Alex Jones lies on the air, has rarely appeared in the same room as them, even as he has been found liable in a series of defamation suits brought by the families of 10 victims. The trial involving Lewis and Neil Heslin, Jesse’s father, is the first of three in which juries will decide how much Jones must pay for defaming the families. Jones has mostly avoided showing up in court. But through an accident of scheduling as he prepared to testify in his defense, he wound up face-to-face with Lewis, who addressed him personally throughout her testimony. “Alex, I want you to hear this,” Lewis said, fixing him in her gaze. “We’re more polarized than ever as a country. Some of that is because of you.” Jones nervously shook his head. The Sandy Hook families have suA picture of Jesse Lewis that his mother, Scarlett Lewis, keeps at her home in ffered years of torment and threats after Newtown, Conn.

In the broadcast, Heslin protested Jones’ denial of the shooting. He recalled his last moments with Jesse, saying, “I held my son with a bullet hole through his head.” Afterward, Jones and a sidekick, Owen Shroyer, implied on Infowars that Heslin was lying. Heslin testified first Tuesday. In a low voice and pausing frequently to weep, he described his son as an energetic boy with a booming voice, who liked to team up with his father to collect scrap metal and recyclables that he returned for spending money. When the gunman entered Jesse’s classroom, he shouted “Run!” during a

pause in the shooting. Nine children ran, and survived. Heslin said conspiracy theorists had tried to contact him by phone, confronted and shoved him on the street. Someone fired a gun into his house and car. This spring, he said, someone drove past his house and shouted “Alex Jones!” and he heard the sound of gunfire. Glancing at Jones’ empty seat at the defense table, Heslin called his absence “a cowardly act.” “The statements and the remarks made by both Infowars and Alex Jones have tarnished Jesse’s legacy,” he added. While Heslin was testifying, Jones was across town broadcasting his show. After watching Heslin’s testimony on a courtroom YouTube feed, he called the grieving father “slow” and “manipulated by some very bad people.” An hour later, Jones turned up in court flanked by his spouse and a cadre of bodyguards. Lewis, who had seen the broadcast maligning Heslin during a break in her testimony, was waiting for him. “I’ve had a hard time finding words today. It makes me feel astounded, in a bad way,” she told Jones. “Horrific. Horrific. Horrific.” Jones testified after Lewis, saying that he had repeatedly tried to apologize. Judge Maya Guerra Gamble of Travis County District Court admonished him later for lying under oath in parts of his testimony. Jones had told the jury he is “bankrupt,” even though his bankruptcy filing has yet to be adjudicated and the families’ lawyers say it is a tactic to avoid upcoming trials. He also claimed that he had complied with court orders in the defamation suits, when in fact his yearslong failure to submit documents and testimony was the reason he lost all of them. “You’re under oath. That means things must actually be true when you say them,” Guerra Gamble told Jones. He tried to interject, but she stopped him: “Don’t talk.” After the judge left the courtroom, Jones approached Heslin and Lewis and shook their hands. Their lawyers hustled them away, and Jones exploded in anger, claiming the parents were being “controlled.”

Stephen King testifies that merger of publishing giants would hurt writers By ADAM BEDNAR

estselling author Stephen King testified Tuesday in a suit filed by the Justice Department to block Penguin Random House from buying Simon & Schuster, saying the merger of two of the country’s largest publishers would make it harder for writers to earn a living. King testified as a witness for the government, which has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia aiming to stop the $2.18 billion acquisition.

Stephen King leaving court in Washington on Tuesday.

The firms are among the largest of the so-called Big Five publishers, and part of an industry already reshaped by consolidation. Penguin Random House, which is owned by the German company Bertelsmann, is itself the result of a 2013 merger. “Consolidation is bad for competition,” King said about why he had agreed to testify. Penguin Random House argues that the acquisition would benefit authors and readers. Its lawyers say that under the deal, Simon & Schuster’s authors would get access to Penguin Random House’s supply chain and distribution networks, and that the savings created by combining the two companies would translate into higher pay for authors. Government lawyers used King’s testimony to illustrate their argument that consolidation in the publishing industry has hurt authors and the industry. The testimony from the famed writer of titles including “It” and “Pet Sematary,” dressed in a gray suit and gray slip-on walking shoes, occasionally drew laughs from the audience in the courtroom’s gallery. Lawyers for Penguin Random House declined to cross-examine King after he spent roughly half an hour testifying. King said that when he started in the publishing business in the mid-1970s, there were hundreds of imprints

in the business, and he shopped his work around without an agent. The number of publishers has since dwindled, he said, as competing businesses were subsumed or collapsed. With fewer imprints competing for business, advances have slowly dwindled, he continued, particularly for writers without a track record of sales. Not that advances, the money paid to writers upfront based on anticipated earnings from royalties, were ever particularly generous for unknown writers. King said he had received a combined $10,000 in advances for his first books, including “Carrie” and “The Shining.” “It becomes tougher and tougher for writers to find enough money to live on,” he said. Over the ensuing decades, King has penned numerous bestsellers and earned a fortune from his books. That financial security, he said, enables him to publish books with smaller independent publishers, the kind emerging writers often go with to break into the publishing business. He said he accepted the smaller advances offered by independent publishers because he wanted to see those imprints survive. “There comes a point,” he said, “if you’re very, very, very fortunate, that you can stop following your bank account and follow your heart.”

The crypto market crashed. They’re still buying bitcoin.

Cory Klippsten, who is known as a Bitcoin maximalist, at his home in Westlake Village, Calif., July 18, 2022. Hard-core Bitcoin evangelists are making the case that Bitcoin differs from the unstable crypto projects that sent the market into a tailspin. By DAVID YAFFE-BELLANY

tweeted, was a scam, run by an entrepreneur with “major Elizabeth Holmes vibes.” The newfangled crypto bank Celsius Network was a “massive blowup risk,” he said. When those crypto projects collapsed a few weeks later, causing a crash that has wiped out about $1 trillion in value, Klippsten became a fixture on news shows, where he cast the industry as a morass of hucksters and hypocrites. “Crypto is a scam,” he declared last month. But Klippsten differs from most crypto haters in one crucial respect: He runs a bitcoin company. In the crypto world, Klippsten is known as a bitcoin maximalist, or “maxi” — a hardcore evangelist who believes bitcoin will transform the financial system even as fraud pervades the rest of the crypto ecosystem. The maxis are just a subset of the crypto industry, but their ranks include influential figures like Jack Dorsey, a founder of Twitter and an early bitcoin proponent. The maxis continued buying bitcoin even after its price plummeted to an 18-month low of roughly $20,000 in June. (Bitcoin is simply “going on sale,” they say.) And, as the market has melted, they have embarked on a public-relations offensive, aiming to persuade investors and lawmakers that bitcoin is different from the thousands of other digital currencies that proliferated in the last few years before tanking this spring.

“The only future for non-bitcoin crypto is to seek to be co-opted by banks and governments and become part of the existing system,” Klippsten, 44, said from his home in Los Angeles, where a decorative bitcoin sculpture sat on a bookshelf behind him. “Bitcoin actually is outside of the system.” The debate being fueled by the maxis has become a battle for crypto’s future. The crash demonstrates how closely the industry resembles the worst of the traditional finance system — an interconnected web of risky ventures and casino-like trading practices. The maxis say they are trying to steer crypto back to some of its original ideals at a pivotal moment, as new regulatory scrutiny and mounting consumer distrust pose an existential threat to the industry. They also see an opportunity to profit from the downturn. As Celsius imploded in June, Klippsten trumpeted a promotion giving its former customers a membership to his financial services firm, Swan Bitcoin, which provides financial planning for bitcoin investors. Bitcoin advocates have been courting new adopters ever since the digital currency was invented, in 2008, by a mysterious figure known only by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. At the time, bitcoin backers were disillusioned with the mainstream finance system and wanted to create a form of virtual money that could be exchanged without a bank or another intermediary. With a supply limit built into its underlying code, bitcoin was supposed to offer a hedge against inflation, since no centralized authority would be able to print more of it. Many subsequent cryptocurrencies have lacked those features. Often, new coins are issued by a group of founders who exert significant control over distribution — a dynamic that can replicate the centralized structure of traditional finance. “Bitcoin is decentralized, digitally scarce money. Everything else is centralized,” said Jimmy Song, a crypto podcaster and an outspoken bitcoin maxi. “There’s a world of difference between a censorship-resistant, selfsovereign money versus a gambling vehicle.” The maxis’ utopian vision of a stable, decentralized but universally accepted alternate currency is a far cry from reality. Bitcoin’s price swings wildly, and its investors often treat it as a kind of risky stock, no different from the shares of companies traded on the tech-heavy Nasdaq index. Hardly anyone uses bitcoin to conduct

ordinary transactions. Last year, El Salvador introduced bitcoin as its national currency, but that project has been a stunning failure. Verifying bitcoin transactions — a process known as “mining” because it rewards participants with digital coins — is energy-intensive: Researchers estimate that bitcoin mining may produce as much as 65 megatons of carbon dioxide per year, comparable to the annual emissions of Greece. “You can’t use it to buy anything — it’s way too volatile and complex and laden with fees,” John Reed Stark, a former Securities and Exchange Commission official, said of bitcoin. “There’s no intrinsic value.” Still, the maxis have seized on the downturn to make the case that bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency worth taking seriously. “Bitcoin Is Down, but Its Case Has Never Been More Compelling,” read a recent headline in Bitcoin Magazine. “If you call out someone’s risks they’re taking, and they’re otherwise healthy, you can be accused of creating a run on the bank or being a troll,” said Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, a software company that has built up a large bitcoin reserve. “It’s kind of hard to explain this theoretically before the crash happens. But now it’s happened.” Saylor and other maxis have sometimes complained that bitcoin is poorly represented in Washington, where lawmakers have expressed growing concern about the cryptocurrency’s environmental impact. Some crypto advocacy work in Washington is funded by companies that offer virtual currencies built on an alternate verification system, which requires less energy to maintain. In April, Chris Larsen, a billionaire who co-founded the cryptocurrency company Ripple, announced that he was contributing $5 million to a marketing campaign calling on bitcoin to abandon its energy-guzzling mining infrastructure, which proponents insist is vital to keeping the network secure and equitable. Now, bitcoin supporters are building their own political apparatus. This year, David Zell, a bitcoin advocate, started the Bitcoin Policy Institute, a think tank that pushes a probitcoin agenda in Washington. The institute has argued that concerns over bitcoin’s energy consumption are overblown. “What we’re saying is that bitcoin has a set of properties that make it unique,” Zell said. “Those differences are stark enough that if you’re going to have a serious policy conversation around the industry, it’s useful to draw that distinction.”

Wall Street’s ‘fear gauge’ in limbo as big investors keep shunning stocks

all Street’s most closely watched gauge of market anxiety shows expectations of choppy trading ahead despite a recent snapback in U.S. stocks, though institutional investors’ low exposure to equities may help curb gyrations. The Cboe Volatility Index, an options-based indicator that reflects demand for protection against drops in the stock market, recently stood at 23, following a sharp rally in stocks that has taken the S&P 500 index up 12% from its mid-June low on expectations that the Federal Reserve may be less hawkish than anticipated in its fight against inflation. VIX readings above 20 are generally associated with an elevated sense of investor anxiety about the near-term outlook for stocks, while readings north of 30 or 35 point to acute fear. The VIX is well above its long-term median of 17.7, signaling continued unease about the longer-term outlook for stocks. Still, it is down from its year high of almost 40 and has oscillated between 20 and 30 for six weeks, its longest time within that 10-point range in a year-and-a-half. Meanwhile, the VVIX index - a gauge of expected swings in the fear index, slumped to a three-year low earlier this week, signaling investors do not expect sharp swings in either direction from the VIX. “There is just less of a concern of an outlier kind of move in the market,” said Chris Murphy, co-head of derivatives strategy at Susquehanna International Group. The lowered expectations for extreme volatility come as investors assess whether stocks can sustain a rally in which the S&P 500 in July notched its best one-month percentage gain since November 2020. The July rally followed stocks’ worst first half of the year since 1970. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly on Tuesday pushed back on expectations of a so-called dovish pivot from the Fed, saying that the central bank’s fight against inflation was “nowhere near” done, and data on U.S. employment on Friday and consumer prices next week could bolster the case for Fed hawkishness. Meanwhile, several Wall Street banks have cast a skeptical eye on the recent rebound in stocks and warned of more downside ahead. “We view this as a bear market rally,” wrote Savita Subramanian, equity and quant strategist at BofA Global Research in a report, noting that such rebounds have occurred an average of 1.5 times per bear market since 1929. The bank has a year-end target of 3,600 on the S&P 500, about 14% below current levels. LOW EXPOSURE One factor that could help dampen market volatility in coming months is limited exposure to stocks among institutional investors, who earlier this year raced to cut their stock allocations as the Fed ramped up expectations that it will fight inflation with market-bruising interest rate hikes.

As Pelosi’s Taiwan visit ends, threat of military standoff with China looms By PAUL MOZUR, AMY CHANG CHIEN, JOHN LIU and CHRIS BUCKLEY

fter weeks of silence before a highstakes visit to Taiwan, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was anything but understated Wednesday during a day of highprofile meetings, in which she offered support for Taiwan and irked China. Pelosi met with Taiwanese lawmakers and then with Taiwan’s president, Tsai Ingwen, offering strident assurances of United States support for the island democracy that China claims as its own. In the whirlwind day of events, she was welcomed by crowds of supporters waving banners and followed by the news media and protesters, her closely tracked meetings and movements streamed partly online. In her wake, she left a crisis, setting the stage for new brinkmanship between China and the United States over power and influence in Asia. Taiwan is now bracing for Beijing to begin live-fire military drills Thursday, an escalation without recent historical precedent that could encircle the island and drop missiles into seas only 10 miles from its coast. “Today the world faces a choice between democracy and autocracy,” Pelosi said during a meeting with Taiwan’s president. “America’s determination to preserve democracy here in Taiwan and around the world remains ironclad.” The meetings, though light on substance, were widely welcomed in Taiwan as a sym-

Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, met with Taiwan’s president, Tsai Ing-wen, in a series of high profile meetings. Ms. Pelosi was presented with an award given to those who have made outstanding contributions to Taiwan. bolic victory. Pelosi’s trip was a rare moment when a major foreign power publicly showed support for the island in the face of vehement opposition from China. Pelosi made the trip despite discouragement from President Joe Biden, manufacturing a historical moment when she became the highest-ranking member of the U.S. government to visit the island in 25 years. The events presented an affront to China. Pelosi, who headed to South Korea late Wednesday afternoon, solidified U.S. support, praised Taiwan’s handling of COVID-19

and met with human rights leaders, all while reinforcing that even if Beijing could isolate Taiwan, it could not stop American leaders from traveling there. She also brought economic pledges, calling a trade deal between Taiwan and the United States hopefully imminent and holding a cordial meeting with the chairman of the Taiwan chip giant TSMC. Arguably one of the most geopolitically important companies in the world, TSMC has been courted by U.S. officials hoping to increase domestic production of microchips.

The trip took place against the backdrop of increasingly heated warnings from Beijing. Along with the military drills, a series of hacks hit Taiwan government websites. And China used its status as Taiwan’s largest trading partner to lash out, announcing new trade curbs Wednesday, including suspensions on imports of some fruit and fish and a ban on exports of sand, a key building material. Pelosi’s visit may also damage a push by the White House to shore up support against China from key allies in the region who analysts say have felt sidelined by the trip and frustrated by the spiraling tensions. As Pelosi toured Taipei, the capital, at times an almost carnival atmosphere followed. But the mood was far more menacing across the strait separating China from Taiwan, creating the real potential for a military showdown. China’s live-fire drills would mark a direct challenge to what Taiwan defines as its coastline and territorial waters. Coordinates for the drills indicated they could take place closer than previous tests during a standoff 26 years ago. On Wednesday, Hua Chunying, a spokeswoman for China’s Foreign Ministry, said more punishments for the United States and Taiwan would follow from Pelosi’s visit. “As for the specific countermeasures, what I can tell you is that they’ll include everything that should be included,” Hua said, according to People’s Daily. “The measures in question will be firm, vigorous and effective, and the U.S. side and Taiwan independence forces will continue feeling them.”

On China, the normally forceful Zelenskyy offers a nuanced view By MARC SANTORA

mid heightened tensions surrounding Taiwan, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine on Wednesday stressed the importance of Chinese neutrality over the war in his country as Russia finds itself increasingly isolated by the West. “I would like China to join the unified world position on the tyranny of Russia against Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said during a meeting with thousands of students organized by the Australian National University. “As for now, China is balancing and indeed has neutrality. I will be honest: This neutrality is better than if China would join Russia.” In a reflection of the delicacy of the mo-

ment, Ukrainian officials have been largely silent on the high-stakes visit this week of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan. The Kremlin on Tuesday said her visit to Taiwan “provokes the situation” over the island. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken pressed China last month to join the United States, which is trying to assemble a global effort to punish Moscow for its aggression in Ukraine, and “stand up” against Russia’s war. In response, the Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi, said Beijing was neutral and criticized the United States for what he called “China phobia” and policies that offered “a dead end.” From the outset of the war, Washington was able, with the threat of heavy sanctions,

to dissuade China from providing weapons and economic assistance to Russia. China claims it is neutral because it has refrained from such explicit support. Zelenskyy’s remarks came in response to a student’s question, and he offered a nuanced answer that recognized the geopolitical realities of the moment. His government, he said, works tirelessly to persuade nations around the world to come together to isolate Russia. “Every day Russia loses more allies,” he said. But each nation, he said, makes its own calculations. “I believe the people of China will make a prudent choice,” he said. “It’s important for us that China will not help Russia.”

He made the same appeal to the students that he has to leaders from around the world over the past five months — pointing to the atrocities committed by Russian forces and asking what would become of the world order if Moscow succeeded in imposing its will on a sovereign nation through brute force. When asked by a student what has been the hardest part of leading a nation at war, Zelenskyy said it was understanding what people are capable of doing — both the heroism of those defending their homes, he said, and the horrors visited upon them by the invading army. “I never thought that people are capable of those things,” he said.

In Ukraine, devastation spreads as Russia regroups for new offensive By MARC SANTORA, PETER BAKER and RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA

t least 140,000 residential buildings in Ukraine destroyed or damaged. More than 3.5 million people left homeless. More than 12 million displaced. New tallies were added Tuesday to the merciless accounting that measures the losses from Russia’s invasion. Each day, the bloodshed, dislocation and devastation grow. Two civilians were killed and five others badly injured trying to flee Russian-held territory in the southern Kherson region, Ukrainian officials said Tuesday. The administrator of the neighboring Kryvyi Rih region said Russian forces had fired on their red minibus at “pointblank range.” In the east, the focus of recent Russian offensives, an emergency evacuation train carrying “women, children, elderly people, many people with reduced mobility” made its way Tuesday morning to safer territory in the west, Iryna Vereshchuk, a deputy prime minister, said in a statement. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pleaded with some 200,000 civilians in the east to evacuate the already depopulated areas near the front lines, where Russian artillery has laid waste to whole towns. Those who remain are disproportionately the old, the infirm, the Russian sympathizers or the merely stubborn. Most already lack essential infrastructure such as power, heat and clean water. If they wait until cold weather sets in this fall, Vereshchuk said — by which time Russia may have resumed major offensive operations — there will be little the government in Kyiv can do for them. A month after seizing full control of the Luhansk region, the easternmost part of Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin’s Russian forces are regrouping for an expected push to conquer what they do not already hold of the neighboring Donetsk region. But the combat never fully lets up, and every day the Russians still pound targets around the country. The Ukrainian military said Tuesday that it had repelled multiple attempts by the Russians to advance on the city of Bakhmut, in the Donetsk region. In the south, Ukrainian forces have driven the Russians back and are expected to make a major push to

President Joe Biden on Monday announced $550 million more in arms for Ukraine, bringing to more than $8 billion the U.S. investment in the war effort since Russia invaded Feb. 24. The arrival of advanced, long-range artillery from the United States and its allies has helped the Ukrainians stabilize their defensive positions in the east and begin to mount a counteroffensive in the south. The latest U.S. arms transfer will include ammunition for the HIMARS rocket launchers that have been used to destroy Russian command posts and ammunition depots, as well as for American 155 mm howitzers already in use by Ukrainian troops, said John Kirby, a spokesperson for the National Security Council. “The power of the democratic world is well felt on the battlefield in Ukraine this week,” Zelenskyy said in his overnight address to the nation. But Ukraine’s determination to defend itself has come at a frightful cost that numbers can only begin to describe. The country does not release public counts of military casualties, and civilian casualties in areas overrun by Russia are guesses, at best, but tens of thousands of Ukrainians are estimated to have been killed, with many more wounded. The Kremlin insists that it strikes only

military targets, a claim belied by images of ruined apartment blocks, houses, schools, farms, hospitals and shops. Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday that at least 140,000 residential buildings had been destroyed or damaged, leaving more than 3.5 million people homeless. The U.N. refugee agency said the number of people who have left Ukraine since Feb. 24 had topped 10 million, although many of those later returned. The United Nations now counts about 6.2 million Ukrainians as refugees who have moved elsewhere in Europe during the war, and 6.3 million as “internally displaced,” people who have fled the fighting but remain within Ukraine — by far the largest migration crisis in Europe since the aftermath of World War II. That means at least 30% of the country’s estimated prewar population of 41 million has been forced from their homes. The State Department on Tuesday announced a major new round of sanctions, including economic and travel restrictions, targeting Russian companies, institutions and individuals with ties to the Kremlin or its war effort. The list includes several billionaire business magnates, as well as Alina Kabaeva, a former Olympic gymnast and member of the Russian Duma who is widely described as Putin’s romantic partner. In the United States, lawmakers have

pressured the Biden administration to label Russia a state sponsor of terror, a designation that Secretary of State Antony Blinken has so far resisted. On Tuesday, Russia’s Foreign Ministry warned that it could react to such a move by cutting off direct relations with Washington, along with taking unspecified other measures. “A logical result of this irresponsible step could be the breaking off of diplomatic relations, after which Washington runs the risk of crossing the point of no return with all the ensuing consequences,” said Maria Zakharova, the ministry spokesperson. Russia’s Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Ukraine’s Azov regiment, a group with far-right roots, is a terrorist organization, which could clear the way to captured soldiers being criminally charged with terrorism rather than being treated as prisoners of war. Many of the troops who made a last stand in Mariupol, Ukraine, tying down Russian forces and living for nearly three months in bunkers beneath the sprawling Azovstal steel plant complex before surrendering, were from that regiment. Last Friday, an explosion at a prison in the Donetsk region killed more than 50 of the Azovstal fighters taken prisoner by Russians. Each side has blamed the other for the explosion. A hint of good news came Tuesday when the first cargo ship to leave Ukraine carrying grain for an increasingly hungry world reached Turkish waters. More are expected to follow soon. Under an agreement reached with Turkey and the United Nations, Russia has agreed to allow such vessels, subject to inspection, to pass through its naval blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports. Turkish officials said the first ship, the Razoni, will be inspected Wednesday morning near the entrance to the Bosporus, before continuing to its destination, the port of Tripoli in Lebanon. More than 20 million tons of food have been stuck in Ukrainian ports for more than five months, and the backlog is growing as more is harvested — even as shortages and soaring prices lead to growing world hunger. Aid groups welcomed the prospect of the grain being released but said that far more needed to be done to prevent famine in regions stricken by drought and global warming.

Killing of Qaida leader crystallizes debate over Biden’s Afghanistan strategy By PETER BAKER

he sunrise missile strike that shredded the leader of al-Qaida on the balcony of a house in Kabul finally validated President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. Or perhaps the strike discredited it. Or maybe some combination of both. The coming anniversary of the chaotic American withdrawal from Afghanistan was already sure to instigate a round of arguments about its wisdom, but the killing of Ayman al-Zawahri by a CIA drone hovering over the Afghan capital has crystallized the debate in a visceral way. To Biden and his allies, the precision operation that took out one of the patrons of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks without civilian deaths demonstrated that war can be waged against terrorists without large deployments of U.S. troops on the ground. To his critics, though, the stunning realization that al-Zawahri had returned to Kabul evidently under the protection of the Taliban made clear that Afghanistan has again become a haven for America’s enemies. “The successful U.S. strike vindicates those who’ve argued for an over-the-horizon counterterrorism strategy in Afghanistan,” Kate Bateman, who helped write reports for the American government on corruption, drugs, gender inequality and other issues in Afghanistan, said in a discussion hosted by the U.S. Institute of Peace. “But Zawahri finding harbor in Kabul may also point to a graver threat than was assumed.” The dual conclusions emerging from the strike complicated an otherwise heady moment for a president who just authorized the operation that took out one of the most wanted men in the world. Hunting down and killing al-Zawahri may not have resonated with the public in the same way the raid that dispatched Osama bin Laden did in 2011, but it was nonetheless seen across the board as a victory for the United States. The implications of that victory, however, were still being sorted out the day after Biden’s nighttime address to the nation announcing the drone strike from over the weekend. The president now confronts the question of what, if anything, he will do in response to the revelation that the Taliban were once again sheltering the leader of a group dedicated to killing Americans. The peace agreement that led to last year’s troop withdrawal, negotiated by President Donald Trump before he left office and then carried out by Biden, specified that the

President Joe Biden delivers remarks at the White House in Washington on July 28, 2022. Taliban would not allow Afghanistan to become a launching pad for future Qaida violence against the United States as it was before the Sept. 11 attacks. While the Biden administration called alZawahri’s presence a clear violation of that deal, known as the Doha Agreement for the capital of Qatar where it was sealed, some analysts said the Taliban could maintain that it was not out of compliance because sheltering the fugitive head of al-Qaida was not the same as serving as a staging ground for new attacks. The White House did not see it that way. “The Taliban have a choice,” John F. Kirby, the strategic communications coordinator for the National Security Council, told reporters Tuesday. “They can comply with their agreement” to bar terrorists from their territory “or they can choose to keep going down a different path. If they go down a different path, it’s going to lead to consequences.” But neither Kirby nor other officials would specify what kind of consequences Biden had in mind. There is no appetite in the White House, or for that matter most of Washington, for a return of significant military force to Afghanistan. And the Taliban leadership that swept into power in the wake of last year’s American withdrawal has successfully defied international pressure as it has reimposed a repressive regime, including a renewed crackdown on the rights of women and girls. “We’re back to where we were before 9/11, and unfortunately that means the Taliban and al-Qaida are back together,” said Bruce Riedel of the Brookings Institution, an adviser to multiple presidents on the Middle East

and South Asia who conducted a review of Afghanistan policy for President Barack Obama when he came into office. “Twenty years of effort were wasted.” Al-Zawahri returned to Afghanistan earlier this year, according to American intelligence reports, moving with his family into a house in one of the most exclusive enclaves of Kabul, where American and other foreign diplomats lived not too long ago only to surrender the neighborhood to Taliban figures. “He must have felt very safe, 100% confident that nothing could harm him,” Riedel said. Indeed, the Taliban clearly knew alZawahri was there and safeguarded him. He was living in a house owned by a top aide to Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Taliban interior minister and part of the Haqqani terrorist network with close ties to al-Qaida, according to two people with knowledge about the residence. After the strike, members of the Haqqani network tried to conceal that al-Zawahri had been at the house and restrict access to the site, senior American officials said. Biden justified his decision to pull out last year on the grounds that al-Qaida was no longer there. “What interest do we have in Afghanistan at this point, with al-Qaida gone?” he said at the time. “We went to Afghanistan for the express purpose of getting rid of al-Qaida in Afghanistan as well as getting Osama bin Laden. And we did.” Kirby argued Tuesday that the president meant that al-Qaida was no longer a significant force in Afghanistan by that point, noting that government assessments at the time concluded the group’s presence was “small and not incredibly powerful.” Kirby added, “We

would still assess that to be the case.” As a result, he and other officials said, the strike on al-Zawahri showed that even without the Taliban living up to its commitments, the United States retained the ability to take out threats in Afghanistan by employing military forces based elsewhere in the region, or over the horizon, as the strategy is called. “It has proven the president right when he said one year ago that we did not need to keep thousands of American troops in Afghanistan fighting and dying in a 20-year war, to be able to hold terrorists at risk and to defeat threats to the United States,” Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Still, some counterterrorism experts expressed caution. “The strike proves that overthe-horizon” counterterrorism strategy “can work — emphasis on ‘can’ — but not that it will generally,” said Laurel Miller, a former acting special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan under Obama. “Zawahri was a special case, for which all the stops would be pulled out in terms of resources and level of effort,” added Miller, who is now at the International Crisis Group. “This operation does not automatically erase the assessment that” operating from outside the country “has significant limitations.” Daniel Byman, a terrorism expert at Georgetown University who served on the staff of the bipartisan commission that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks, said the al-Zawahri strike proved that the United States could still wage war without troops on the ground and that without troops on the ground Afghanistan would become a sanctuary again for al-Qaida. “They’re both right,” he said of allies and critics of the president. But what might be more concerning, he added, was that the flashy success of knocking off a marquee figure like al-Zawahri only goes so far in dismantling terror networks. “From what has been reported, it does show impressive operational capacity,” he said. “However, much of the U.S. success against al-Qaida and ISIS came from grinding decapitation campaigns that went after trainers, recruiters, planners and other lieutenants. Doing such a sustained campaign in Afghanistan seems quite difficult.” At the same time, Byman said, whoever succeeds al-Zawahri will presumably be more cautious, limiting communications and meetings, making it harder to actually lead a global organization. “So even being able to threaten the very top,” he said, “does have some value.”

Mexico’s cruel drought: ‘Here you have to chase the water’ By MARIA ABI-HABIB and BRYAN AVELAR

exico, or large parts of it, is running out of water. An extreme drought has seen taps run dry across the country, with nearly twothirds of all municipalities facing a water shortage that is forcing people in some places to line up for hours for government water deliveries. The lack of water has grown so extreme that irate residents block highways and kidnap municipal workers to demand more supply. The numbers underlining the crisis are startling: In July, eight of Mexico’s 32 states were experiencing extreme to moderate drought, resulting in 1,546 of the country’s 2,463 municipalities confronting water shortages, according to the National Water Commission. By mid-July, about 48 percent of Mexico’s territory was suffering drought, according to the commission, compared with about 28 percent of the country’s territory during the same period last year. While tying a single drought to humancaused climate change requires analysis, scientists have no doubt that global warming can alter rainfall patterns around the world and is increasing the likelihood of droughts. Across the border in recent years, most of the Western half of the United States has been in drought, with conditions ranging from moderate to severe.For the region, this period is now the driest two decades in 1,200 years. The crisis is particularly acute in Monterrey, Mexico’s second-largest city and one of its most important economic hubs, where the entire metropolitan area of about five million people is affected by drought, according to officials. Some neighborhoods in Monterrey have been without water for 75 days, leading many schools to close before the scheduled summer break. The situation in the city has gotten so dire, a visiting journalist could not find any drinking water for sale at several stores, including a Walmart. Buckets, too, are scarce at local stores — or being sold at astronomically high prices — as Monterrey’s residents scrape together containers to collect water supplied by government trucks sent to the driest neighborhoods. Some residents clean out trash cans to ferry water home, children struggling to help carry what can amount to 450 pounds of water. While Monterrey’s poorest neighborhoods are the hardest hit, the crisis is affec-

People sometimes have to wait hours in line before they can fill up their containers with water from the government. ting everyone, including the wealthy. “Here you have to chase the water,” said Claudia Muñiz, 38, whose household is often without running water for up to a week. “In a moment of desperation, people explode,” she said about the violence that has flared as people fight over what water there is. Monterrey is in northern Mexico, the most parched region of the country, which has seen its population grow in recent years as the economy boomed. But the area’s typically arid weather is struggling to support the population as climate change reduces what little rainfall the region has. Monterrey’s residents can now walk across the floor of the reservoir that was created by the Cerro Prieto dam and that was once one of the city’s largest sources of water. The reservoir also used to be a major tourist attraction that the local government marketed for its lively waterfront restaurants and its fishing, boating and water-skiing. Now Cerro Prieto is mostly popular because of the coins buried at the bottom of the reservoir that bakes under the sun. Residents swipe metal detectors across exposed rock and scrub, filling pouches with peso coins once tossed in by visitors as they made a wish. Along with the Cerro Prieto reservoir, a seven-year drought — interrupted only by strong rains in 2018, according to a local official — has also dried up water along two other dams that provide most of Monterrey’s water supply. One dam reached 15 percent of its capacity this year, while the other reached 42 percent. The rest of the city’s water comes from aquifers, many of which are also running low. The amount of rain in July in parts of the state of Nuevo León, which borders Texas and whose capital is Monterrey, was just 10 percent of the monthly average recorded sin-

ce 1960, according to Juan Ignacio Barragán Villarreal, the general director of the city’s water agency. “In March it did not rain a single drop in the entire state,’’ he said, adding that it was the first rain-free March since the government started keeping records in 1960. Today, the government distributes a total of nine million liters of water daily to 400 neighborhoods. Every day “pipas,” large trucks filled with water and pipes for distribution, fan out across Monterrey and its suburbs to tend to the needs of the driest neighborhoods, often illegal settlements that are home to the poorest residents. Alejandro Casas, a water truck driver, has been working for the government for five years and said that when he started, he supported the city’s firefighters and was called perhaps once or twice a month to deliver water to a fire scene. His workdays were often spent staring at his phone. But since Monterrey’s water shortage became so acute that taps started running dry in January, he now works every day, making up to 10 daily trips to various neighborhoods to supply about 200 families with water with each trip. By the time Mr. Casas arrives, a long queue snakes through neighborhood streets with people waiting their turn. Some families carry containers that can hold 200 liters, or 53 gallons, and wait in the sun throughout the afternoon before finally receiving water at midnight. The water he delivers can be all the family gets for up to a week. No one polices the lines so fights break out, as residents from other communities try to sneak in instead of waiting for trucks to reach their neighborhood days later. Residents are allowed to take home as much water as their containers can hold. In May, Mr. Casas’s truck was stormed by several young men who got into the passenger seat and threatened him as he was delivering water to the San Ángel neighborhood. “They spoke to me with a very threatening tone,” Mr. Casas said, explaining that they demanded he drive the truck to their neighborhood to distribute water. “They told me that if we don’t go to where they wanted, they were going to kidnap us.” Mr. Casas headed to the other neighborhood, filled residents’ buckets and was set free. Edgar Ruiz, another government water truck driver, has also seen the crisis worsen. Starting in January he has delivered water from the wells the government controls and

has watched nervously each week as their levels plunge. “In January I distributed two or three pipes,” he said, referring to individual water tanks that can carry up to 15,000 liters. “Now I distribute 10, and they have hired many more people” to drive water trucks. Neighboring states have also sent drivers and trucks to help out. He now fears doing his job. Residents used to be grateful when they saw his water truck entering their neighborhood; now they are irate the government has not been able to fix the water shortage. “They stoned a water truck,” he said. María De Los Ángeles, 45, was born and raised in Ciénega de Flores, a town near Monterrey. She says the water crisis is straining her family and her business. “I have never experienced a crisis like this before,” Ms. De Los Ángeles said. “The water only comes through our taps every four or five days.” The crisis, she said, is pushing her into bankruptcy — a garden nursery she owns is her family’s only source of livelihood and needs more water than can be provided by the occasional water that flows through her home’s taps. “I have to buy a water tank every week that costs me 1,200 pesos,” equal to $60, from a private supplier, she said. That consumes about half of her weekly income of $120. “We can’t handle it anymore,” Ms. De Los Ángeles said. Small business owners like Ms. De Los Ángeles are frustrated that they are left to fend for themselves while Monterrey’s big industries are largely able to operate normally. Factories are able to draw 50 million cubic meters of water per year because of federal concessions that give them special access to the city’s aquifers. The government is struggling to respond to the crisis. To try to mitigate future shortages, the state is investing about $97 million to build a plant to treat wastewater and plans to buy water from a desalination plant under construction in a neighboring state. The government has spent about $82 million to rent more trucks to distribute water, pay additional drivers and dig more wells, according to Mr. Barragán, the general director of the water agency. The governor of Nuevo León state, Samuel García, recently urged the world to act together to tackle climate change because it was beyond the capacity of any single government to confront.

The last thing we needed was Pelosi backing down from a bully By BRET STEPHENS

ancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan carries undeniable risks. Beijing could respond by harassing U.S. Navy ships and aircraft in the area, with a distinct potential for collision or confrontation. It could seize the (largely demilitarized) Taiwanese island of Kinmen — better known to aficionados of the Cold War as Quemoy — which lies just a few miles off the Fujian coast. It could lend Moscow a hand in the war in Ukraine, perhaps by selling it the kinds of precision munitions the Russian military is reportedly running low on. A month ago, all of this might have added up to a plausible, if not exactly convincing, argument for the speaker of the House to skip Taiwan during her Asian tour, at least while the United States contends with other crises. But after her visit was effectively announced, it would have been catastrophic to back down. Bullies often seek tests of strengths to probe for signs of weakness. And they always read efforts at conciliation as evidence of capitulation. That’s what’s happening now. “To win 100 victories in 100 battles is not the acme of skill,” Sun Tzu wrote. “To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.” If Beijing had gotten its way over something as seemingly minor as Pelosi’s visit, it would not have been merely a symbolic victory in a diplomatic sideshow. It would have changed the rules of the game. Rather than avert a diplomatic crisis, it would have hastened a strategic disaster: the further isolation of a democratic U.S. ally and key economic partner as a prelude to surrender, war or both. What happens next? Let’s first recap where we were. Members of Congress have been visiting Taiwan for decades. In May, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., led a congressional delegation and met with President Tsai Ing-wen. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., led a bipartisan delegation in April. None of these sparked any kind of crisis. In 1997, then-Speaker Newt Gingrich visited Taipei, stopping first in Beijing, where he warned his hosts that the United States would defend Taiwan militarily if it was attacked. “We never got into an argument,” Gingrich said at the time. “They never said, ‘Well, you can’t have that right — that’s interference.’ They said, ‘OK, noted.’ And then they basically would say: ‘Since we don’t intend to attack, you won’t have to defend. Let’s go on and talk about how we’re going to get this thing solved.’ And I think that’s very healthy.”

These visits all took place under diplomatic understandings that have governed U.S.-China-Taiwan relations since the 1970s: the one-China policy and the Taiwan Relations Act. But as China has felt its power rise — and sensed American power and resolve wane — it has written a new playbook: Make outrageous legal claims, turn alleged provocations into useful pretexts, take incremental but increasingly aggressive steps and use force only as a psychologically crushing last blow. This is how it imposed dictatorial control over Hong Kong. It is how it is gradually gaining military dominion in the South China Sea. It is how it is seeking to undermine Japan’s sovereignty over some of its outlying islands. And it is the approach it now appears to be using with Taiwan. Given the loss of face Beijing will believe it has suffered from Pelosi’s visit, you can expect that it will ratchet up the intimidation factor without risking outright war. Kinmen is ringed by islets that China could easily take as a show of force. What should the U.S. do then? Don’t back down. 1. Congressional delegations ought to arrive in Taiwan every week for the next year. Make them so routine that Beijing forgets to protest. 2. President Joe Biden should formally state what he has said repeatedly off the cuff: that the United States will intervene militarily if China seeks to invade Taiwan. He can underscore the point with frequent transits of U.S. Navy ships through the Taiwan Strait, along with an expansion of the secretive joint training exercises that American and Taiwanese specialoperations forces have already conducted. 3. The United States can also provide Taiwan with the kind of easily dispersed, easily hidden, asymmetric weapons that have done such damage to the Russians: Javelin anti-tank missiles, Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, naval-strike antiship missiles. 4. Biden should propose sharp increases in military spending, particularly for the Navy, which now ranks behind China’s in terms of ship numbers. It would have bipartisan support both as an industrial policy and as a measure of global security. With luck, China will accept that the ultimate costs of confrontation vastly outweigh the benefits. It is a lesson Russian President Vladimir Putin may have learned — albeit only after he invaded Ukraine and at a tragic price for the world. The key to saving Taiwan is to get that point across to Beijing now, before they blunder into similar tragedy. Cheers to Pelosi for standing firm.

Representante Denis Márquez reitera llamado para atender emergencia nacional por violencia infantil POR CYBERNEWS

L CAPITOLIO – Tras los más recientes casos de agresiones en contra de menores -que incluye una víctima diagnosticada con autismo severo- el representante del Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (PIP), Denis Márquez Lebrón, reiteró el miércoles su llamado para atender violencia infantil que impera en el país y que catalogó como una emergencia nacional. “El pasado 28 de abril anuncié la radicación de dos medidas legislativas para declarar un estado de emergencia por la violencia infantil en Puerto Rico (PC 1333) y para reconocer la tortura infantil como una categoría independiente del maltrato infantil y tipificarla (PC 1334). En esa ocasión alerté que durante mi interrogatorio en las vistas públicas sobre el presupuesto del Departamento de la Familia (DF), la administradora de ADFAN reconoció la existencia de 10,458 referidos de posible maltrato a menores aún sin investigar desde el 2016. Señalé, además, que se-

gún cifras del Departamento de Salud y Recursos Humanos de Estados Unidos, en Puerto Rico, en el 2019, habían 17,474 (30.5 por ciento) referidos de maltrato o negligencia a menores de los cuales 8,365 (47.9 por ciento) fueron fundamentados y que este año existen 12,110 casos, un aumento de 3,656”, expresó Márquez Lebrón en declaraciones escritas. El líder independentista agregó, que su iniciativa legislativa para atender la violencia infantil en Puerto Rico incluye la rendición de cuentas del DF a la legislatura por los menores desaparecidos bajo la custodia de la agencia y del Departamento de Justicia por los cientos de casos que se han documentado como agresiones sexuales y que nunca han sido radicados por la agencia situación que provoca, incluso, que al día de hoy existan víctimas en el mismo entorno que sus victimarios. Para el portavoz cameral del PIP los casos más recientes -como el de una menor diagnosticada con autismo severo- manifiestan claramente que enfrentamos

una emergencia nacional por violencia infantil y agresiones sexuales que hay que atender urgentemente. Tras reiterar su llamado para que la Cámara de Representantes atienda ambas medidas, Márquez Lebrón precisó que ambos proyectos fueron desarrollados con la ayuda de una amplia gama de expertos en la conducta humana e integrantes de organizaciones que brindan servicios a niñas y niños maltratados como el Programa Biopsicosocial del Recinto de Ciencias Médicas del programa CIMVAS, Familias CAPACES Inc. y la Coalición Paz Para La Niñez.

Gabino Iglesias, a writer of noir, explores the Texas underworld By SIMON ROMERO

t the dawn of the pandemic, Gabino Iglesias had already been living paycheck to paycheck in Texas for more than a decade. Then the public high school where he was teaching had devastating news: He was being let go. Iglesias, a Puerto Rican novelist, found himself without a salary or health insurance. Unable to find other work in the bleak 2020 job market, he gambled on finishing the book he had started writing on his lunch breaks. As COVID-19 raged outside, he wrote at a feverish pace for months on “The Devil Takes You Home,” a haunting noir thriller that Mulholland Books published Tuesday. Echoing the Book of Job, it follows a father in Austin who loses his job and health insurance, his young daughter to terrible disease and, finally, his marriage. At wits’ end, the narrator, Mario, takes up an offer from a meth-addicted friend and embarks on a new line of work as a cartel hit man. This shift spawns a borderlands odyssey that blends noir and magical realism, meditations on religiosity and human cruelty, and social commentary on guns, the drug trade and resurgent racism. “I put all my anger with the health care system into this book,” said Iglesias, 40, the author of “Zero Saints” and “Coyote Songs,” two novels that were critically acclaimed and enthusiastically received, albeit by relatively small numbers of readers. In contrast, the arrival of Iglesias’ new book, with praise pouring in from noir masters, a book tour in the works and film rights already optioned, is shaping into a breakthrough moment for a writer who has long toiled just to make ends meet. As U.S. health care continues to confound and inflame, Iglesias is tapping into a source of familiar anguish. The book holds parallels to “Breaking Bad,” the series about a cancer-stricken high school teacher who descends into the meth underworld to secure his family’s future. But unlike “Breaking Bad,” which won broad acclaim but faced criticism over the unconvincing ways some Latino characters were depicted, “The Devil Takes You Home” revels in the American West’s ethnic and linguistic diversity. Some characters speak only English, perplexed by the Spanglish prevailing along much of the border. Others prefer the Spanish of the streets of Ciudad Juárez. Grief-afflicted Mario effortlessly switches between English, Spanglish, Puerto Rican Spanish and varieties of Mexican Spanish. Though contextual hints of meaning are ample, most of the book’s non-English dialogue is untranslated and unvarnished, reflecting how millions of people actually talk in Texas, whether in downtown El Paso or the grittier parts of Austin. “I made it clear we’re not doing italics,” Iglesias said during an interview conducted in Spanglish at a bustling

Growing into a writer who navigates languages and cultures wasn’t always in the cards for Iglesias. He was raised speaking only Spanish in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean island that is a U.S. territory (like many Puerto Ricans, Iglesias often prefers the word “colony”). As a young reader, he was drawn to authors like Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe, part of what he called a selffed “very steady diet of horror.” He said he learned English partly by reading H.P. Lovecraft, dictionary in hand, looking up words he didn’t know. In Puerto Rico, he was accepted into a marine biology program in college, then switched to get a business degree while working construction to pay the bills. Realizing the business world wasn’t for him, he then “wasted two years in law school,” began dabbling in journalism and got accepted into a postgraduate journalism program at the University of Texas in Austin. Iglesias arrived in Texas with $236 to his name and got by without a car for two years. Scrambling to make ends meet on a stipend of about $930 a month, he taught radio reporting to college students, sold life insurance and taught English as a second language to Spanish-speaking immigrants. That last experience, in addition to broadening his exposure to Spanish from Mexico and other countries in the Americas, reminded him of some advantages he held. Like his students, many of whom had crossed the border illegally from Mexico, he had followed his star to Texas. But unlike them, Iglesias noted, he didn’t have to wor-

ry about immigration agents knocking on his door and deporting him at a time of resurgent xenophobia in the United States. “Puerto Ricans may be second-class citizens, but that American passport is extremely helpful,” he said. (Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917, but island residents cannot vote in presidential elections and lack voting representation in Congress.) Still, Iglesias said he was frequently asked about his immigration status when looking for work, and as he sought out one low-paying office job after another, he was often greeted with indifference or skepticism from potential employers. “My education and my CV don’t go hand in hand with what I look like,” he said. “When you’re a stocky brown guy with an accent, there’s not a lot of people clamoring to give you opportunities.” Even after obtaining a doctorate in journalism, Iglesias said he still nurtured dreams outside academia. More than once, as he pressed on with his own writing, he said colleagues suggested it would be a good marketing decision to change his name to “something with fewer vowels in it.” Then there are the many sacrifices newly minted scholars make to secure tenured jobs. He saw contemporaries moving around the country from one college campus to another, churning out ultra-specialized work aimed at burnishing their professorial credentials. “I didn’t want to spend my entire life writing articles for journals that no one’s going to read,” he said. So he focused on his writing while also holding down various gigs, such as producing book reviews, grading papers and teaching online writing classes, to pay the bills. It was enough, he said, to a keep a roof over his family, which includes his 9-year-old son, his wife and a rescue pit bull. They still live in low-income housing in Austin, even as Iglesias is finally finding broader recognition. The results of his dedication to his craft are not for the faint of heart. He cited practitioners of Appalachian noir such as David Joy and S.A. Cosby as influences, and said the aim of his work was to “bring it down into the gutter.” Some scenes in “The Devil Takes You Home” graphically explore how religious fervor can justify just about any course of action. In other stretches, he explores the bloodsoaked hypocrisy of border security policies that allow guns trafficked from the United States to nurture Mexico’s drug trade. Then there are the eerie scenes in the smuggling tunnels under the border, where the criaturas live, or the sense of surprise when in the presence of an exceptionally brutal drug lord who speaks with a theologian’s eloquence. “Being in the presence of monsters is OK, as long as you don’t think too much about what they’re capable of,” Mario says. “The scarier thing is when you realize what you’re capable of yourself.”

The remarkable ‘Reservation Dogs’ runs away toward home By JAMES PONIEWOZIK

anting to escape your hometown is the birthright of every young person. In America, pulling up stakes and hitting the road is built into the popular culture — it’s “Go west, young man”; it’s a Bruce Springsteen lyric. For some Americans, however — like the four teenagers on an Oklahoma reservation in FX’s sublime coming-of-age comedy “Reservation Dogs” — the idea of home, whom it belongs to and who belongs to it, is more complicated. The romance of the road, after all, is bound up with a history of seeing North America as a frontier. When your ancestors lived in the place that others saw as a blank space to fill in themselves, that American myth hits a little differently. The push away from home and the pull toward it form the dynamic that powers “Reservation Dogs,” which emerged out of the box last year as one of TV’s most lived-in, specifically drawn comedies. The terrific first season focused on the urge to get away; the second, which returns to Hulu on Wednesday, is about what it takes to rediscover your home. The pilot episode bursts onto your screen like someone is chasing it. Its selfstyled gang of four (the show’s title comes from their nickname, a reference to the Quentin Tarantino film “Reservoir Dogs”) is introduced in the midst of jacking a snackchips truck. The plan is to raise money, head to California and leave behind the reservation that they blame for the suicide of their friend Daniel (Dalton Cramer). Like many improvised schemes, this takes some turns, and the season fleshes out the kids in a laid-back, observant character piece. Elora (Devery Jacobs) is a walking heartbreak who feels Daniel’s loss especially heavily (we learn eventually that it was she who found his body). Bear (D’Pharoah Woon-A-Tai) is a lanky boy stumbling toward being the man he outwardly appears to be. Cheese (Lane Factor) is deadpan and thoughtful; Willie Jack (an instantly winning Paulina Alexis) has a prodigiously foul mouth and a loyal heart. California is less a concrete destination for them than an idea, a stand-in for “not here.” But “Reservation Dogs” is

deeply in touch with the feel and flavor of the here that it portrays. The creators, Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi, produced a story about Indigenous people by Indigenous people, shot on location in Oklahoma, with the nubbly texture of great regional TV. (It’s both a welcome example of TV paying attention to rural life and a reminder that “rural” is not a synonym for “white.”) It’s steeped in lore, lifeways and pop history; a Season 1 episode delves into the myth of the avenging Deer Lady and the career of the Native American ’70s band Redbone. Like “Atlanta,” another magic-realist comedy from FX, “Reservation Dogs” has a heartfelt irreverence and an aversion to romantic cliché. Bear is visited by the spirit of a Lakota warrior (Dallas Goldtooth) who was at the Battle of Little Big Horn — at but not in, because he died when his horse hit a gopher hole — and who imparts nuggets of wisdom in a torrent of bro-speak. In a new episode, he solemnly tells Bear, “Carry on, my wayward son, there’ll be peace when you are done,” a benediction from the classic rock band Kansas. The eight-episode first season delightfully goes nowhere fast, building out the world and the cast of local eccentrics. Zahn McClarnon, who anchored the AMC crime drama “Dark Winds,” gives a wry performance as Big, a hapless tribal police officer with a bent of screwball insight; an episode set at the Indian Health Service clinic sketches the reservation’s afflictions and support systems in miniature. As in so many teen romances, the things that the Dogs hate about their home (the insularity, the money problems, the bad memories) give you entrée to the things that, admit it or not, they love about it (the relationships, the interdependence, the better memories). One by one, the friends get cold feet about leaving, and Elora heads for California alone, taking her grandmother’s car with her hard-bitten frenemy, Jackie (Elva Guerra, also of “Dark Winds”). She’s finally free, but she seems more unmoored the farther west they travel. Meanwhile, her friends are trying to find ways to make a home at home, making amends for the past and processing Daniel’s loss. The new season leans a few notches

closer to the drama side of dramedy, but there’s still plenty of laid-back humor. In the second episode, Willie Jack and Cheese turn to Uncle Brownie (Gary Farmer), an elder who dispenses advice and decades-old weed, for help in lifting a curse. He stumbles his way through a ceremony, which he says needs to conclude with “an old song.” He pauses and summons up music from within — “Free Fallin’,” by Tom Petty. (“It’s like 30 years. That’s old!”) The miraculous and the mundane are always bumping elbows in “Reservation Dogs.” Jackie receives a prophecy in the form of a souvenir card from a “Medicine Man” fortunetelling machine at a gas station gift shop. (“You must turn away from the path that you are on.”) Bear’s spirit guide visits Uncle Brownie, who in the Season 1 finale performed a ritual to ward off a tornado and now believes he is a holy man. The spirit says this is nonsense. “He did turn a storm,” he says, but “whatever,

everyone can do that.” Like the spirit, “Reservation Dogs” believes any of its characters are capable of magic, not just the literal, meteorological kind. Everyone, even a screw-up, has power and responsibility as part of a larger community. You can get a prophecy from a drunk sitting at a bar or wisdom from a guy getting his hair cut on the porch. You can also, sometimes, catch a glimpse of enlightenment while doing a day’s work. In the new season, Bear takes a construction job and finds himself working next to Daniel’s father, Danny (Michael Spears), raising uncomfortable memories for both of them. Bear nearly tumbles off a rooftop trying to grab some loose shingles, but Danny catches him. “First rule of roofing,” Danny says. “Don’t chase it if it’s already falling.” It’s a lesson that Bear and all his friends are trying to learn: How to know what to let go, and how to save what matters.

Take your cakes to the upside down By MELISSA CLARK

ith glossy yellow rings bull’s-eyed by neon red cherries, pineapple upside-down cake is a beloved American dessert: homey, nostalgic, boldly geometric. Ever since the recipe was popularized in the 1920s, it’s become so entrenched in our confectionary consciousness that an upsidedown cake made with anything else seems like a mere afterthought. But other fruit — juicy summer peaches, apricots, plums and nectarines; mounds of purple berries; velvety bananas — can make upside-down cakes as good or even better than the usual pineapple. And they’re exactly the thing to bake right now, especially if you’re wondering what to do with that surfeit of stone fruits and berries leaking sticky nectar all over your kitchen counter. Upside-down cakes don’t require the pristine fruit you’d want for a shortcake or tart. No matter how wrinkled your peaches or sagging your blueberries, once they’ve been caramelized and baked under batter, they’ll become syrupy and colorful, a shimmering crown without further need of embellishment. Just as essential as an upside-down cake’s ability to put languishing fruit to use is its ease. The batter is a cinch to whisk up in one bowl, making it faster and easier than a pie or galette crust. Then you can bake the cake in the same skillet you used for the fruit — perfect for rented houses where kitchen equipment is sparse, the parchment paper nonexistent. One of the earliest recipes called “upside-down cake” was published in 1923 in the now-defunct Syracuse Herald. Prunes were the fruit in question, arranged over brown sugar and butter, and speckled with walnuts. Other versions, using apricots and pitted sour cherries, were also fashionable in the early 20th century. Pineapple became the go-to in 1926 when Dole sponsored a recipe contest. There were 60,000 entries; 2,500 were for some version of pineapple upside-down cake. Pineapple has remained on the top of the upside-down heap ever since. In my twist on the classic, I nixed the cherries, substituted fresh pineapple for canned and added pecans for texture. (I also used nuts in my banana variation, which has bananas Foster-like vibes, but with the happy bonus of some cake and a crunch.) Although the recipe for upside-down

A variety of upside-down cakes in New York, July 20, 2022. You can’t beat a classic pineapple upside-down cake, but juicy peaches, plums, berries and even bananas are just waiting to step in, Melissa Clark writes. cake is straightforward, there are some best practices for the most tender crumb and a fruit topping that’s just sweet enough without being all cloying. The first is to caramelize the sugar before adding the fruit. Many vintage recipes skip this step in favor of simplicity, instead just melting the butter, then sprinkling the sugar on top. While this works, it results in a neutral sweetness with a muted caramel character. Deeply caramelizing the sugar before adding the fruit tempers it, bringing out a mild bitterness and adding layers of nutty complexity, and it takes only a few minutes. Don’t worry if the sugar clumps and seizes, it will melt again when you bake the cake, turning silky smooth. Another tip is to bake the cake longer than you would a regular butter cake. This is because of the moisture in the fruit, particularly stone fruit and berries, which have high water contents that can make the crumb soggy. The cake surface should be well browned all over, with dark edges that yield a slight crunch. A toothpick inserted in the middle should emerge without any crumbs. Always let your cake rest for about 10 to 15 minutes before inverting it onto a platter to let fruit and caramel firm up a little. But don’t let it go longer than that, or the caramel may cool and glue the fruit to the pan. Of

course, you can always pry it out and put it back on top of the cake. Then, slice, serve and get ready to fall head over heels for upsidedown cake.

Pineapple Upside-down cake with pecans Yield: 1 (10-inch) cake Total time: 1 hour, plus cooling Ingredients: For the Fruit Topping: 4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter 1/3 cup (71 grams) light brown sugar 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (see Tip) 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 1 pound peeled pineapple, cut into 1/2-inch slices (3 cups; see Tip) 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans For the Cake: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing 1 cup (200 grams) sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 2 large eggs, at room temperature

1/2 cup (118 milliliters) sour cream or plain whole-milk yogurt 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 1 1/2 cups (195 grams) all-purpose flour Preparation: 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Make the topping: In an oven-safe 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, lemon juice and salt, and whisk until the brown sugar melts, 1 to 2 minutes. 3. Let cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to smell like caramel and darkens slightly, about 1 minute longer. (Don’t walk away or the mixture may burn.) The mixture will clump and separate, but that’s OK. 4. Add fruit and nuts, gently tossing to coat with the caramel. Remove from heat and arrange fruit into an even layer on bottom of skillet. Ignore any sugar clumps; they will dissolve during baking. 5. Make the cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest until thoroughly combined. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Add sour cream and whisk until well mixed. Sprinkle baking powder, baking soda and salt into the batter, one at a time, and whisking vigorously after each addition. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in flour until just incorporated. The mixture will be lumpy, but that’s OK. Don’t overmix. Scrape batter into the skillet over the fruit and spread evenly. 6. Bake until surface is deeply browned all over (with darker brown edges) and the fruit is lightly bubbling along the sides of the skillet, about 35 to 45 minutes, rotating halfway through. A toothpick inserted into cake will come out clean. 7. Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately run a butter knife or offset spatula along the edge of the skillet. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes to cool slightly. Carefully invert cake onto serving platter. If some fruit or nuts stick to bottom of the skillet, gently remove them using offset spatula or knife and place back onto cake. Let cake cool until the fruit topping sets, at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, before serving. Cake is best served on the day it is baked. TIPS: Since you’ll need the lemon juice for the topping and the grated zest for the cake, it’s best to zest the lemon before you cut it and juice it. You can substitute an equal amount of drained canned pineapple for fresh.

Help! My lost luggage wasn’t delivered for 12 days. I want restitution.

After a traveler reads the fine print on the United Airlines website, Tripped Up makes some calls, sends some emails — and gets the traveler $3,000. Our columnist can’t quite believe it. By SETH KUGEL Dear Tripped Up,

regularly travel between Houston and Atyrau, Kazakhstan (via Newark and Amsterdam) for work, taking United for the first two legs and Air Astana for the third. The trip is long but the routine is always the same: check your luggage in Texas and pick it up upon arrival. But this past January, United didn’t follow the routine: When I boarded in Newark, I saw on the United app that at least one of my bags had stayed behind. I alerted the flight attendant, who alerted the gate staff, who in turn suggested I get off the plane, get my luggage and fly the next day. But there are limited connections, I had to get to work and I had no idea where my second bag was. (Also lost, it turns out.) Thirteen days and countless calls and letters later, Astana delivered my luggage in Kazakhstan. United eventually offered me $150 in compensation. I believe this is not nearly enough, especially considering their policy on “delayed bags” says I may be eligible for $1,500 per bag if they can’t find my luggage in five days. Can you help? — Laura, Missouri City, Texas Dear Laura, You know all those apocalyptic reports of lost luggage we’ve been reading recently? It turns out the problem actually picked up steam this winter, when omicron hit, and just in time for your flight in January. That month, according to Transportation Department numbers, U.S. airlines “mishandled” 8.1 per 1,000 bags checked, compared with fewer than 6 per 1,000 that was the average in 2021. Still, I’m guessing “you’re not alone” doesn’t make you feel much better about what must have been a maddening 13day delay. So how about the $3,000 they have now offered in compensation? Yes, it took some back-and-forth with United spokespeo-

ple, but I managed to convince them that your interpretation of United’s policy — that if your bags are not found for five days, you are owed $1,500 per bag — was right. Only problem is, I’m not sure I believe it myself. But more on that later. First, let’s go over what happened. When we spoke on the phone, you told me of one telling incident from your trip, that when you checked in at the Houston airport, you noticed you had not received a boarding pass for your final leg. But after speaking to several agents, you were assured that both you and your luggage were checked through to Atyrau. Nevertheless, when it seemed like one bag was being left behind in Newark, New Jersey, you did just what you should have done, reporting to staff that United’s app showed one of your bags was now in baggage claim. The next day, exhausted in Atyrau, you filed a lost luggage report for both bags and kept all the printed evidence. (Readers, you should see the documentation I got along with this complaint — when you’re writing in, please do the same!) Pointing me to the delayed luggage page on United’s website, you argued United owes you $1,500 per bag even though the airlines eventually found and delivered your luggage. Let’s look carefully at the wording: “If we’re unable to find your bag after five days, you may be eligible for $1,500 for the value of your baggage and its contents without requiring any documentation.” I certainly see what you mean, although you don’t have to be an attorney to see the textual hemming and hawing here. You “may be eligible” is far from a promise, and United might have argued that they were able to “find” your bags in five days, even if it took another eight to get them to you. So I was not surprised when I originally contacted United and a spokeswoman promptly passed the buck. “On code-share and connecting flights, the operating carrier to the final destination is responsible for the delivery of the bag(s),” she wrote in an email. She suggested I reach out to Air Astana directly. I wasn’t born yesterday. Elvira Nurbayeva, the Kazakh carrier’s manager for corporate communications, had already passed along documentation from WorldTracer, an international service that works with airlines to track lost luggage, saying that your bags were left in Newark. The reason: That you “DID NOT CLAIM AND CHECK IN FOR INTL FLT.” This “obviously means that the passenger should have received luggage on arrival in Newark,” wrote Nurbayeva. So you blamed United, United blamed Astana and Astana blamed you. But when I went back to United with the additional details, things changed. In a statement, the spokeswoman admitted the bags had actually been tagged through to Atyrau but were not transferred correctly. And then: “When this happens, we work hard with our interline partners to connect customers with their bags as quickly as possible, including compensation for the delayed bag. We sincerely apologize for the frustration this caused.” Just days ago, you let me know what happened next: United and Astana agreed to compensate you $3,000, or $1,500 for each mishandled bag.

I’m happy for you, and I think your argument about United’s stated policy is reasonable, but I’m unpersuaded and left uneasy by this decision, because I fear it does not portend the dawn of an era in which airlines make generous payments to everyone suffering over lost luggage. George Hobica, founder of the bargain travel site Airfarewatchdog, agreed. He was shocked to hear that United agreed to pay the full amount. He suspects the scrutiny of a certain major newspaper may have played a role. Airlines are required to pay you back a reasonable amount for items you had to purchase, he noted, but you had told me that amount of items was under $75. “She is entitled to be compensated for her $75, but not for pain and suffering,” he said. “We all go through pain and suffering these days.” Legally, Hobica appears to be on strong ground. The 1999 Montreal Convention, covering international travel and signed by all three countries on your route, states that restitution is due “if the carrier admits the loss of the checked baggage, or if the checked baggage has not arrived at the expiration of 21 days.” (For domestic flights, the Department of Transportation has similar rules, offering leeway for the airlines to decide when to declare luggage “lost.”) Eventually, Hobica softened a bit — remembering his outrage and lack of restitution when a furniture company once fumbled a sofa delivery — and relented that you might deserve something. But, he said, it would be a disservice to other passengers to think they were going to get $1,500 per bag that was, eventually, found. Instead, he noted that flyers are entitled to purchase reasonably priced replacements when their luggage is delayed, and the airlines must pay. Again, both international and domestic policies are largely aligned that airlines are “liable for damage occasioned by delay” of luggage — that’s the convention — and should pay for reasonable, verifiable and actual incidental expenses that they may incur while their bags are delayed. Passengers should insist on those payments and never give up, researching if the credit card they bought their ticket with also offers coverage, filing an online complaint with the Transportation Department and, in a worst-case scenario, going to small claims court. “The airline won’t show up and you’ll win by default,” Hobica said. “But it shouldn’t come to that.” Paul Bland, executive director of the nonprofit consumer advocacy group Public Justice, agrees that small claims court is a viable option, and not just those outraged at airlines but also other situations where travelers feel a contract has been breached. He noted that even when it seems we sign away our rights to sue through small-print arbitration clauses, an exception is usually carved out for amounts eligible for small claims suits. (In New York City, that means anything under $10,000; in Texas, where small claims courts are called justice of the peace courts, the amount is now $20,000.) You can take companies to court in any jurisdiction where they have a business address, and fees to file are usually under $50. You do not need a lawyer.

Is Pilates as good as everyone says? By DANIELLE FRIEDMAN

fter Shari Berkowitz was injured during a live dance performance onstage, doctors told the actress that one wrong move could leave her paralyzed for life. She had suffered three herniated discs in her neck, with one bulging into her spinal column. Months of physical therapy got her out of the danger zone, and then she discovered Pilates. Though excellent doctors and physical therapists got her through the initial healing, she said Pilates gave her “strength and confidence in my ability to move — the confidence that I could move again,” she said. The workout led to her full recovery and inspired her to become a Pilates instructor and studio owner herself. “Pilates was so transformative for me, when I see a client start to develop that same physical and emotional strength,” she said, “it’s extremely satisfying.” Berkowitz is not the only Pilates devotee to speak about the workout’s transformative powers. Many studios tout a quote attributed to its founder, German boxer and strongman Joseph Pilates, that declares: “In 10 sessions, you feel better, 20 sessions you look better, 30 sessions you have a completely new body.” While no workout can offer us a new body, devotees say the low-weight resistance training can help our current bodies in important ways, strengthening the core muscles around the spine. Pilates first gained widespread attention in the late 1990s, as celebrities like Madonna and Uma Thurman touted its benefits, and aerobics enthusiasts sought a lower impact option. But a few years ago, the workout appeared to be on the decline. Doomsayers predicted a “Pilatespocalypse,” as newer and sweatier fitness trends, like spinning and boot camps, exploded. But thanks in part to the pandemic, many people’s exercise priorities have shifted from intense, calorie-burning workouts to activities that also foster a mind-body connection, said Cedric Bryant, the president and chief science officer of the American Council on Exercise. Pilates is once again booming. Most market researchers don’t track it separately from yoga, but the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association ranked it as the most popular gym activity for women. It now includes a wide array of offerings, from small private studios with one-on-one instruction and national Pilates franchises to app-based virtual classes and amped up “power” Pilates.

A Pilates class in Amsterdam, July 18, 2022. While no workout can offer us a new body, Pilates devotees say the low-weight resistance training can help our current bodies in important ways. So, is it worth trying to incorporate Pilates into your fitness routine? And what flavor is right for you? If you’re intrigued by the workout, here’s what you need to know. Q: What is Pilates? A: Pilates workout is often performed on a mat or in a chair and includes many strength and flexibility exercises found in other forms of resistance training. “There’s nothing mysterious about Pilates,” said Alycea Ungaro, owner of New York City’s Real Pilates and the author of several guides to the method. But there are a few elements that make Pilates unique. First, the method encourages participants to focus on breathing and cultivate a mind-body connection, paying particular attention to how all movement stems from the core. Exercises are repeated in sets that strategically work the muscles without exhausting them. Many Pilates workouts also incorporate special equipment, including spring-based resistance machines designed to support the spine and target specific muscle groups. The most popular machine, called the “reformer,” looks like a small bed frame with a sliding platform hooked up to a system of springs, ropes and pulleys. Scientific research does support an array of impressive health benefits for Pilates. Studies suggest it may help to improve muscle endurance and flexibility, reduce chronic pain and lessen anxiety and depression. Q: Who can benefit from Pilates? A: The short answer is: everyone. Really. Pilates can be tailored to a spectrum of

fitness goals, ages and abilities — professional dancers, athletes, pregnant women, octogenarians looking to improve their balance. “Anybody can do it,” said Carrie Samper, the director of Pilates education for Equinox. “You don’t have to be 25 and a Cirque du Soleil dancer. You can be 85 and start doing Pilates.” While doing Pilates will bring rewards on its own, some people approach it as a complement to other physical activities. “It really taught me how to move my body,” said Chris Robinson, a martial artist and owner of the San Diegobased studio Pilates and Sports. “And I found I could apply that education to anything.” Physicians and physical therapists often recommend Pilates as a path to rehabilitation for people recovering from injury. “It can serve as a bridge back to more normal activity,” said Bryant. It can also help reduce one’s odds of becoming injured, he said, because of its ability to improve core stability, balance, flexibility and posture. “We know that when those are inadequate, you increase your risk for a variety of musculoskeletal and joint injuries.” Pilates can also benefit women who are pregnant or postpartum by safely strengthening the core and conditioning the pelvis. “It’s a great way to strengthen your pelvic floor without doing hundreds of Kegels,” said Sarah Clampett, a physical therapist and the head of clinical operations for Origin, a Los Angeles-based health company. “Anyone with pelvic floor issues or dysfunction would benefit from Pilates.” Q: What can’t Pilates do? A: Traditional Pilates is not a cardiovascu-

lar workout. “The more advanced a person is, the more cardio-like it is,” said Berkowitz, who now trains instructors through her online studio, The Vertical Workshop. “But you’re never going to get to the point where you are really challenging your cardiovascular system.” It isn’t equivalent to lifting heavy weights, either. “There are limitations to how much strength it builds,” said Samper. “It’s not the same thing as doing trap bar deadlifts or bench presses. You’re not going to build that same muscle, because you never do Pilates movements to exhaustion.” Q: So how often should you do it? A: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises adults to devote 150 minutes to moderate-intensity aerobic activity and two days to strength training weekly. Pilates would fall into the latter. But while you will see benefits from doing Pilates once or twice weekly, exercise experts agree that the ideal is three times a week. That’s the “sweet spot,” said Samper. Q: What type of Pilates is best for you? A: Not all workouts that call themselves “Pilates” are created equal. Experienced Pilates instructors generally recommend starting with one-on-one or small group training sessions, so you can learn the basics. “The ideal situation is to be in the studio,” said Robinson. “You have all the apparatus to help you and an instructor to guide you.” But for a lot of people, he said, that’s just not feasible. Individual training sessions often start at $75 or more per session, while virtual classes can be a fraction of that. “There’s still a lot to be gained virtually, if that’s all you can do,” said Robinson. “You know, some Pilates is better than no Pilates.” The method you connect with can depend on your specific goals and needs. “If you’re a healthy person and you don’t have any musculoskeletal issues — you just want a good workout — absolutely, go join a gym Pilates class,” said Carrie Lamb, a master instructor for the national Pilates company Balanced Body and physical therapist in Golden, Colorado. But if you’re recovering from an injury or dealing with chronic pain, you may benefit from a more intimate environment. For people looking for a workout that helps them achieve both cardio and musclebuilding goals, consider checking out newer, hybrid Pilates offerings that speed up classical movements and promise to get your heart pumping.

Vin Scully, voice of the Dodgers for 67 years, dies at 94 By RICHARD GOLDSTEIN

in Scully, who was celebrated for his mastery of the graceful phrase and his gift for storytelling during the 67 summers he served as the announcer for Dodgers baseball games, first in Brooklyn and then in Los Angeles, died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 94. His death was announced by the Los Angeles Dodgers. For all the Dodgers’ marquee players since World War II, Scully was the enduring face of the franchise. He was a national sports treasure as well, broadcasting for CBS and NBC. He called baseball’s Game of the Week, All-Star Games, the playoffs and more than two dozen World Series. In 2009, the American Sportscasters Association voted him No. 1 on its list of the “Top 50 Sportscasters of All Time.” He began broadcasting at Ebbets Field in 1950, when he was a slender, red-haired 22-year-old graduate of Fordham University and a protégé of Red Barber. When the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958, fans at the cavernous Coliseum brought along hand-held transistor radios, recently popularized in America, so Scully could guide them through the pioneering days of Major League Baseball on the West Coast. “I regard him, all things considered, as the master of radio and TV,” sports broadcaster Bob Costas once told The Arizona Republic, recalling listening to Scully with a transistor radio under his pillow as a youngster in Los Angeles in the early 1960s. “I regard him as the best baseball announcer ever.” Leaving the cheerleading to others Scully offered no gimmicks and shunned trite expressions. Tommy Lasorda, the longtime Los Angeles manager, claimed to bleed Dodger blue, but Scully was never a cheerleader. He called the play-by-play for the Dodgers’ local TV and radio broadcasts without a color analyst, lest he lose his connection to the viewers and listeners he invited to “pull up a chair.” The Dodgers largely limited their broadcasts to radio in their early years in Los Angeles. But they gradually expanded TV coverage, and Scully called all nine innings of their telecasts. He began simulcasting on radio for the first three innings of every game in 2000. In his later years, he limited himself to broadcasting home games and Western road trips.

Vin Scully at Shea Stadium in Queens before the start of the 2006 National League division series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Mets. Mr. Scully broadcast Dodger games for 67 years. In a poll of fans conducted by the Dodgers in 1976, Scully was voted the most memorable personality from the team’s first two decades in Los Angeles. In 1982, he was elected to the broadcasters’ wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1995, he received an Emmy Award for lifetime achievement in sports broadcasting. He narrated a succession of big events of baseball history, and knew when to remain quiet. Scully was at the microphone in 1955 when the Brooklyn Dodgers won their only World Series championship, and in 1956 when Don Larsen of the New York Yankees pitched a perfect game against the Dodgers in the World Series. When Sandy Koufax retired all 27 Chicago Cubs batters at Dodger Stadium on Sept. 9, 1965, Scully placed his stamp on the moment: “On the scoreboard in right field, it is 9:46 p.m. in the City of the Angels, Los Angeles, California. And a crowd of 29,139 just sitting in to see the only pitcher in baseball history to hurl four no-hit, no-run games. He has done it four straight years and now he capped it: On his fourth no-hitter, he made it a perfect game. And Sandy Koufax, whose name will always remind you of strikeouts, did it with a flourish. He struck out the last six consecutive batters. So when he wrote

his name in capital letters in the record books, that K stands out even more than the O-U-F-A-X.” When Hank Aaron of the Braves hit his 715th home run, breaking Babe Ruth’s record, on April 8, 1974, in Atlanta against the Dodgers, Scully said simply: “To the fence. It is gone.” He then walked to the back of the broadcast booth, took his headset off, had a sip of coffee and waited as the roar of the crowd resounded. Finally, he returned to the microphone: “What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world. A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol.” When an injured Kirk Gibson pinch-hit a game-winning home run for the Dodgers against the Oakland A’s in the opener of the 1988 World Series at Dodger Stadium, Scully observed, “In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened.” In his biography of Scully, “Pull Up a Chair” (2009), Curt Smith quoted the sportscaster Dick Enberg: “All those phrases, those wonderful things that he does, go instantly from the brain to the mouth. I’ll be listening to him and think, ‘I wish I could call upon

that expression the way he does.’” Red Skelton wasn’t on the line Vincent Edward Scully, the son of Irish immigrants, was born in the Bronx borough of New York City on Nov. 29, 1927. His father, Vincent Aloysius Scully, a silk salesman, died when Vincent was a child. His mother, Bridget, remarried, and the family moved to the Washington Heights section of Manhattan. As a youngster, he listened to the college football broadcasts of Bill Stern and Ted Husing and was fascinated by the crowd noise over the airwaves. After graduating in 1949, Scully worked as a fill-in at WTOP, the CBS affiliate in Washington, broadcasting sports, news and weather. On a visit to the CBS offices in New York that July he was introduced to Barber, who was in charge of sports for CBS Radio in addition to broadcasting Dodger games. When Ernie Harwell, one of Barber’s partners on Dodger broadcasts, was reassigned from broadcasting a Boston University-Maryland football game at Fenway Park on the afternoon of Nov. 12, 1949, Barber checked WTOP for references on Scully and, satisfied with what he learned, assigned him to do the game in Boston. Scully got the news from his mother. “I came home to our apartment one day in New York,” he remembered. “She was so excited and flustered. She said, ‘You’ll never guess who called — Red Skelton!’ And I said, ‘No, you must mean Red Barber.’” There was, Scully later recalled, no room for him in the Fenway Park press box. “I had to walk along the right-field roof, following the play,” The Boston Globe quoted him as saying. Barber heard a recording of the broadcast, liked what he heard, and assigned Scully to the Harvard-Yale game the next week. In 1950, after Harwell left the Dodgers’ broadcast team, Scully got his biggest break. He was hired as the team’s No. 3 announcer, behind Barber and Connie Desmond. Barber became his mentor, telling him to be well prepared, to stay away from imitating other announcers and to avoid becoming a rooter. “He told me to always be myself,” Scully recalled in an interview with The Christian Science Monitor in 1986. “He told me not to get emotionally involved, not to have a good friend out there on the field; it might affect your judgment.”

Continues on page 43

The San Juan Daily Star From page 42 Scully got the Dodgers’ top broadcasting job. He worked with Desmond and Andre Baruch and later teamed with Al Helfer and Jerry Doggett in Brooklyn (Desmond left late in the 1956 season). While continuing to call Dodger games, Scully covered pro football and golf for CBS-TV in the late 1970s and early ’80s. With Joe Garagiola as color commentator, he handled baseball’s Game of the Week, the World Series, the playoffs and the All-Star Game for NBC-TV in the ’80s. He covered the World Series for CBS Radio in the ’90s. A list of survivors was not immediately available. Remembering who all was on third Scully confined himself to local Dodger broadcasts after leaving network TV and radio in 1998. He continued to spin his yarns. In October 2006, when two Dodgers were tagged out in succession at home plate in a playoff game against the New York Mets at Shea Stadium, the gaffe reminded him of the August day in 1926 when the Dodgers’ Babe Herman doubled into a double play at Ebbets Field, leaving the team with three men on third base. “We turn the clock back,” he said, “to the daffy days of the Brooklyn Dodgers.” Visiting players, managers and umpires came up to Dodger Stadium’s Vin Scully Press Box, named for him in 2001, to convey good wishes and sometimes tell of listening to his broadcasts as youngsters. When the Dodgers opened their final regularseason home series of 2016, against the Colorado Rockies, Scully was honored at home plate. “When you roar, when you cheer, when you are thrilled for a brief moment, I’m 8 years old again,” he told the crowd. “You have allowed me to be young at heart. I owe you everything.” Scully’s last broadcast came on Oct. 2, the final Sunday of the regular season, when the Dodgers played the Giants in San Francisco. The fans waved cards reading “Thank you, Vin” and cheered when Scully, heard over Dodger TV and radio stations but also over the Giants’ stadium loudspeaker, intoned, “It’s time for Dodger baseball.”

out, playing stickball in the streets of New York with a tennis ball and a broom handle, would wind up sitting here, 67 years of broadcasting, and with my arm around one of the greatest players I ever saw, the great Willie Mays?” When the last out was recorded, he signed off: “That was awfully nice. The umpire just stood up and said goodbye, as I am saying goodbye. Seven runs, 16 hits for the winning Giants, 1-4-1 for the Dodgers. The winner, Matt Moore; the loser, Kenta Maeda.

The Padres go for broke with a roster of superstars By TYLER KEPNER

he franchise started in 1969, just another expansion team in funny uniforms that lost 110 games. Five decades passed, with a few Hall of Famers but no championships. Then, after years of aggressive spending and trading by the front office, Juan Soto led the team all the way. That scenario played out for the Washington Nationals in 2019, when they finally won the World Series. The San Diego Padres are hoping for a sequel of their own. The Padres — expansion cousins of the Montreal Expos, who eventually moved to Washington — have never been especially close to a title. Their last scheduled World Series game was Oct. 25, 1998, Game 7 against the New York Yankees in New York. They were swept, and the game was never played. That’s the day Soto was born in the Dominican Republic. Now Soto is a Padre, on to the next phase of a career with a nearly peerless beginning. With his age-23 season still in progress, here are some of the 10 most similar players in history to Soto through age 22, according to Baseball Reference: Hank Aaron, Miguel Cabrera, Ken Griffey Jr., Mickey Mantle, Frank Robinson, Mike Trout. Soto is that good. That is why he could confidently turn down a $440 million contract offer from the Nationals last month. That is why he commanded an exorbitant package of players from the Padres in a deal that rattled the sport on Tuesday’s trading deadline. Washington sent Soto and Josh Bell — a switch-hitting force at first base — to San Diego for first baseman Luke Voit and five young players: shortstop C.J. Abrams, pitcher MacKenzie Gore, outfielder Robert Hassell III, pitcher Jarlin Susana and outfielder James Wood. All five were highly regarded amateurs who have so far made good on their promise. None have yet played a full season in the majors. “It’s really a credit to our scouting and development group, really over the last seven or eight years,” general manager A.J. Preller said at a news conference in San Diego. “The ability to constantly

The San Diego Padres acquired superstar outfielder Juan Soto from the Washington Nationals. have players that other teams covet, hopefully that’s for here in Petco a lot of times, but it also potentially puts you in position to make this type of deal.” The move leaves the Nationals with almost nothing from their championship team, mainly discouraging reminders of bad investments and false potential. Stephen Strasburg makes $35 million but cannot escape injury. Patrick Corbin, who makes $23.3 million, is 15-38 since the World Series. Outfielder Victor Robles, once a top five prospect in the sport, is a bust. The team was not poised to win before Soto’s free agency after the 2024 season. By trading Soto now — with three potential postseason runs for the acquiring team — the Nationals received extraordinary value in return. Building around Soto might have been the better option, but that was a risky bet with the team for sale and agent Scott Boras’ history of extracting top dollar in free agency. The Nationals have eagerly chased Boras’ best clients. General manager Mike Rizzo, with backing from the Lerner

family ownership, built five playoff teams in eight seasons through 2019, largely via Team Boras members such as Bryce Harper, Anthony Rendon, Max Scherzer, Soto, Strasburg and Jayson Werth. But when you play at the high-stakes table, you can lose in the same way you won. And now the Nationals are losing more than any other team. The Padres would seem to be in for a big fall, too — eventually. They cannot sustain their level of spending, in dollars and in prospect capital, forever. But Preller spent years preparing for life as a contender, and now he is living out the fantasy. Few of his peers gather high-impact prospects like Preller, and few are as willing to part with them. Within the past few seasons, Preller has traded for a full rotation of established starters in their primes: Mike Clevinger, Yu Darvish, Sean Manaea, Joe Musgrove and Blake Snell. In 2019, he persuaded ownership to make third baseman Manny Machado the first $300 million player in baseball history, then gave even more money to short-

stop Fernando Tatis Jr. before last season: $340 million for 14 years. Tatis was only 17 years old when Preller stole him from the Chicago White Sox in a trade for James Shields in 2016. The deal for Soto and Bell was not even the only headliner for the Padres at the deadline: Josh Hader, a four-time All-Star closer, arrived in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday, and the versatile Brandon Drury (.274 with 20 home runs) joined Tuesday in a deal with the Cincinnati Reds. The team also shipped out first baseman Eric Hosmer — who was initially part of the Soto trade before invoking his limited no-trade clause — to the Boston Red Sox for a prospect. Other contenders acted boldly at the deadline. Houston acquired Trey Mancini and Christian Vázquez for their lineup and Will Smith for their bullpen, while Atlanta and Philadelphia each added a starter, a reliever and an outfielder: Noah Syndergaard, David Robertson and Brandon Marsh for the Phillies, and Jake Odorizzi, Raisel Iglesias and Robbie Grossman for the Braves. The Yankees, the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, St. Louis Cardinals, Seattle Mariners, Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee also added multiple players. But nobody acted with quite the same desperation as the Padres, who have waited many years for this moment. They endured nine losing seasons in a row before making the playoffs in the pandemic-shortened season of 2020, the only season since 1998 with a victory in a playoff round. Plenty of other teams can dream of a deep postseason run — the Los Angeles Dodgers, Yankees, Astros, New York Mets and Atlanta Braves all reached Tuesday’s trading deadline with a .600 winning percentage or better. They are the majors’ elite, and the Padres aspire to join them. Those five franchises, of course, have something else the Padres lack: a World Series championship. Soto is gone from the Nationals before his 24th birthday, and there is something sad about that. But now he has a chance to lift a second team to its first parade, and that pursuit will be captivating.

HOROSCOPE Aries

(Mar 21-April 20)

It’s possible to balance family and financial matters with your social life and a desire to have fun, but it could take work, Aries. Too many people and issues may have a claim on your time because you don’t like to say no. If you want to make positive headway and be kinder to yourself, then you’ll need to be stronger with others, and more disciplined concerning your commitments.

Taurus

(April 21-May 21)

Gemini

(May 22-June 21)

Today, you won’t miss a trick. And if you’re determined to solve a mystery, you may think of little else until it’s done. Is there a matter you need to get to grips with? Applying your perceptive abilities can bring faster results. Someone you meet might prove a fount of knowledge and a delightful raconteur too, and this is one new contact that could be truly worth cultivating.

There continues to be a powerful focus on a secluded sector, which is benefiting you, even if you can’t see it right now. Dreams and synchronicities can put you in touch with what is important to you, and give you a sense of the best way forward. On a lighter note, if you get an urge to visit an online or offline store, you may be able to get something you really want at a bargain price.

Libra

(Sep 24-Oct 23)

This may be a good time to discuss a goal or career issue, as lovely Venus in a prominent zone, encourages diplomacy and courtesy. Her presence here indicates that you won’t want to rock the boat. At the same time, with Mars still aligned with Uranus in an intense zone, you won’t want other people to walk all over you either. This is a chance to balance charm with assertiveness.

Scorpio

(Oct 24-Nov 22)

There is potential for co-operation, that can see you accomplishing much by pairing up with another or others, especially if linked to something that binds you together. This is not a time for half measures, as you could miss out on a special opportunity or exciting challenge. Should you be more adventurous? Someone you know well may insist you move out of your comfort zone.

Sagittarius

(Nov 23-Dec 21)

Capricorn

(Dec 22-Jan 20)

Everything changes, and you must change too if you don’t want to be left behind, Archer. You can usually accommodate yourself to new situations, but with some stubborn influences on the go, this might not be so easy. If there is a conflict about the best way forward, both options could seem equally desirable. Can’t decide? Perhaps doing a little of both will help you choose.

Ready for a change of scene and a chance to do something different? If so, try to arrange some time out. You might even decide to head off without a firm plan and see where you end up, which could lead to some unexpected discoveries. In addition, things can get quite busy in a good way over the coming weeks, so make the most of any opportunity to unwind and recharge.

Ready to collaborate? If someone shares your depth of understanding for a subject or interest, it could bring you so much closer. With Venus linking to Mars in your romance zone, there is potential for a relationship to progress to the next stage. Equally though, you might bond with someone in a way that is quite rare, and their friendship can become very valuable to you.

Leo

Aquarius

(July 24-Aug 23)

(Jan 21-Feb 19)

The coming week or so can be crucial for your status, as well as your long-term plans. Cosmic forces focusing on your career and ambitions, suggest that you may be in the spotlight and someone of importance could have their eye on you. Unless you indicate that you are ready for more responsibility, it might come to nothing. If you’re keen, then let it be known soon, Leo.

Need to make some decisions regarding a goal or project? Once you’ve got to grips with the details, a plan can begin to form. You may need to rearrange your schedule to give yourself more time though. Entertaining back at your place? Venus’s tie with Mars and Uranus, hints that you might get an unexpected guest. Something they say could be the answer to a lingering issue.

Virgo

Pisces

(Aug 24-Sep 23)

This looks to be a positive time, with Venus and Mars working to your benefit. The trick is to let things unfold, rather than have set expectations that might not materialize. Your plans could be prone to disruption Virgo, but out of the chaos something good will emerge. It may be a new friendship or romance, or a chance to collaborate on a creative or lucrative project you’ll enjoy.

(Feb 20-Mar 20)

Go on an outing Pisces, or get involved in something that keeps your mind busy, as this way you won’t be inclined to worry about things that are unlikely to happen. If you really can’t let it go, then make a point of doing something about it. Even if it’s as simple as making a phone call or sending an email, it may begin to unravel things and you’ll then find you can truly relax.
