The University of Puerto Rico (UPR) has extended for the 18th time the standstill agreement with creditors on certain revenue bonds through May 31, 2023, proof that it has done little to restructure its debt.
The information, contained in a recent filing with Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA), confirms information from STAR sources that discussions with respect to a consensual restructuring of UPR revenue bonds have not been active in the past year, prompting a need for the extension. UPR has about $365 million in bonded debt.
On June 29, 2017, the bond trustee and UPR, at the direction of the Fiscal Agency and Financial Advi sory Authority (AAFAF by its Spanish initials), entered into a letter agreement providing that the university will transfer certain amounts in respect of pledged revenue to its bond trustee, U.S. Bank Trust National Association, on the condition that the trustee will not institute, com mence, or continue certain legal proceedings against UPR to get payments.
may face pre-debt service operating deficits growing to $455 million in fiscal 2026.
The document filed last week indicated that the U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee, and the AAFAF, on its own behalf and on behalf of UPR, agreed to amend the period on UPR University System refunding bonds, Series P and Q, to May 31, 2023.
In consideration for the extending of the compliance period, UPR will make some $21.38 million divided into six monetary transfers totaling $3.58 million each to the trustee to hold or to make payments or distributions as required under the trust agreement. The failure by UPR to make any such payment, if not cured within one business day, will result in a termination of the compliance period.
The first payment for $3.58 million must be made on or before Dec. 23, and the last one on May 18, 2023.
Other conditions include that UPR or the AAFAF will provide the U.S. Bank with detailed plans and specifica tions for repairing, replacing or reconstructing UPR prop erty that was damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Maria.
According to its 2021 fiscal plan, UPR has taken few steps to increase revenues and cut expenditures and
UPR will deposit all proceeds of casualty insurance policies or direct federal aid in segregated UPR accounts at a commercial bank. All repair funds in excess of $1 million will be used pursuant to a written requisition, which will state the amount to be paid, the name of the person, firm, or corporation to whom payment is due, and the purpose for which the obligation is to be paid, and will be signed by the finance director. On or before the 15th calendar day of each month, UPR will submit the preceding month’s requisi tions to the U.S. Bank.
On the 15th calendar day of each month UPR or the AAFAF will provide, or cause relevant agencies to provide, U.S. Bank with all project requests, progress or other reports provided to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or to any casualty insurance company with respect to the expenditure of repair funds during the preceding month.
The U.S. Bank will cooperate in good faith to provide UPR with the balances of the bond service account and the reserve account as of May 18, 2023 for the purpose of calculating any credit.
The parties also agreed to use com mercially reasonable efforts during the compliance period to arrive at a permanent resolution of the disputes which have given rise to the letter agreement and the various standstill extension agreements prior to May 31, 2023.

The Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) secretary for women’s and gender affairs, Adriana Gutiérrez Colón, called on the island Legislature on Sunday to pass bills to protect women against medical violence.
The petition comes after the Puerto Rico Supreme Court accused a doctor of negligence, resulting in a new born losing her life.
The United Nations (UN) in 2019 recognized obstet ric violence as a gender violence problem that involves a violation of women’s rights.
The PIP has introduced several bills in the House and Senate to prevent obstetric violence:
Senate Bill 0454 and House Bill 0947 declare that the government’s public policy against obstetric violence as a matter of human rights establishes a particular civil cause of action for damages suffered as a result of obstetric violence, and decrees other complementary provisions.
Senate Bill 0225 and House Bill 0570, meanwhile, would create the “Puerto Rico Cesarean Section Statistics
Information Access Act.”
“Pregnant women have the right to receive the highest level of health care, which includes the right to dignified and respectful care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the right not to suffer violence or discrimination while pregnant,” Gutiérrez Colón said.
The comparable version of the latter bills was filed in 2008 by Sen. María de Lourdes Santiago Negrón and vetoed by then-governor Aníbal Acevedo Vilá. Similarly, the PIP introduced a bill in 2013 that did not reach the governor’s desk because the two legislative chambers could not agree on a single version of the bill.
“The current bill, filed in 2021, was approved in the Senate and was referred to the House Health Committee. We hope the bill is finally approved so it can become law to improve the health conditions of pregnant women and childbirth,” Gutiérrez Colón noted.
Violence, mistreatment, negligence and disrespect during childbirth constitute a violation of women’s funda mental human rights, as described in international human rights norms and principles.
homes and businesses in Puerto Rico that have liquefied gas service have a mandatory inspection of liquefied gas containers and lines in order to ensure the safety of families.
Rep. Estrella Martínez Soto By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.comGiven the most recent unfortunate occurrences in Puerto Rico regarding the use of liquefied gas in residences, Rep. Estrella Martínez Soto, who chairs the Consumer Affairs Committee in the island House of Rep resentatives, again called on the Senate to approve House Bill 1114, of her authorship, in order to establish that all
“Measure 1114, called the Law for the Inspection of Liquefied Gas Installations in Businesses and Residences of Puerto Rico, has already been approved here in the House and has been waiting in the Senate for two sessions,” Martínez Soto said in a written statement issued Sunday. “It would empower the Bureau of Transportation and Other Public Services with the authority to regulate and super vise the installation, maintenance and use of liquefied gas in residences and businesses in Puerto Rico. In the same way, it seeks to establish a structure that makes the use of liquefied gas tanks safer in residences and businesses.”
The local press has already reported on several cases of explosions in residential and commercial areas as a result of the mishandling of liquefied gas.
Recently, there was an incident in Barrio Lomas García in Naranjito.
Although they cannot be attributed to problems in the installations or defects in gas cylinders, the reality is that there is no accident prevention program or inspection of liquefied gas facilities in residential areas.
“Yesterday, Saturday, there was another incident where
three people were burned after a gas stove exploded at a residence in the Jagüey Chiquito neighborhood in Aguada,” the lawmaker noted in the measure. “Given the increase in the use and stored quantity of this product, it is meritorious to create processes that tend to the safety of residents and their neighbors, [thereby] preventing losses of life and property from occurring again due to the mishandling of this product.”
The proposed law seeks to amend Regulation 7160 to add annual certification and inspection requirements for liquefied gas facilities and impose more rigorous ones for the use of tanks of 400 pounds or more in residential areas. The measures are necessary to minimize the risk of incidents affecting property safety and people’s lives, the lawmaker said.
“Prior to approval here in the House, we held public hearings with all stakeholders and sought broad citizen, commercial and industrial participation,” Martínez Soto, who represents House District 27 (Aibonito, Coamo, Juana Díaz, Santa Isabel and Salinas). “The priority is the safety of our people. The case registered yesterday in Aguada and last month is another example of the importance of fellow legislators in the Senate dealing with the case as soon as possible.”
Luis Collazo Rodríguez, the executive director of the central government’s Re tirement Board, Office of Management and Budget Executive Director (OMB) Juan Carlos Blanco, and Office of Human Resources Management and Transformation Director Zahira Maldonado Molina announced Sun day the signing and approval of the “Joint Regulation for the Recruitment of Pensioners of the Government of Puerto Rico” under Law 53-2022, which empowers the rules that will govern the recruitment process for government pensioners and the creation of a Registry of Eligible Pensioners.
With the signing of Law 53-2022, Gov. Pedro Pirerluisi Urrutia established as a priority and public policy to allow pensioners to return to the government partially, without affecting their pensions. The approved document stan dardizes the laws and regulations applicable to pensioners of interest re-entering public service partially, full-time or through con tracting of professional services. In addition, it aims to establish the rules and parameters that will govern the pensioners’ hiring and/or recruitment processes.
The head of the retirement office said life expectancy has increased and many retiring public employees want to return to a working life because they feel useful or want to generate additional income, but with flexibility.
“Although the pensioners could work under certain parameters before Law 53-2022, Law 53 constitutes a statement of public policy in favor of the pensioners who wish to re-enter the government, in addition to uniforming and formalizing the applicable regulations for the re-entry of pensioners to the government,” Collazo Rodríguez said. “With the approval of the Regulation and the Registry of Eligible Pensioners, we will have visibility and updated data on pensioners who return to work under contract employment since employers and pensioners will have to notify us if they re-enter
full-time, part-time or on a contractual basis.”
Likewise, Maldonado Molina highlighted the importance of government pensioners now having the opportunity to return to work, that the goal is to promote government efficiency and “who better than our experienced minds in public service to train new staff.”
“The Human Resources and Management Office, as the entity responsible for the cen tralization of human resources in the Govern ment of Puerto Rico, will be responsible for maintaining a registry of pensioners eligible to re-enter the public service in which pensioners
may register voluntarily. I urge pensioners to visit the empleos.pr.gov portal to learn about available opportunities.”
“Government pensioners have been lead ing actors in the economic and social devel opment of Puerto Rico,” the OMB chief said. “They have contributed with their willingness to serve. The work of government involves us all. As a government, we must ensure that we can count on first-rate professionals, regardless of whether they have already retired from public service, especially when this type of professional has institutional experience and memory. With the issuance of this regulation, we comply with our commitment to create a service-focused public government of excel lence by making viable the necessary frame work so that the knowledge of our retirees in essential part-time areas is utilized, without affecting their pension, including teachers, police, and social workers, among others.”
The approved regulation applies to any person who has been pensioned by retirement, by age, by years of service, or by incentivized retirement from any pension or retirement of the government or any of its instrumentalities, or of any retirement fund or pension created under the laws of Puerto Rico.
Additional information on the provisions of the recruitment process for pensioners can be found at the internet portal www.retiro.pr.gov or by sending an email to: consultaley53@ retiro.pr.gov, consultaley53@ogp.pr.gov and consultaley53@oatrh.pr.gov.
By THE STAR STAFFKeeping in mind the needs of District of Carolina residents, Sen. Marissa “Marissita” Jiménez Santoni is about to inaugurate her services office in the Municipality of Canóvanas.
“Every day that passes, more people come to us to tell us that, for one reason or another, it is impossible for them to get to our Capitol office in San Juan,” Jiménez Santoni said.
“Many of them do not have the necessary means of transportation to access different services or government agencies, whether municipal or state,” she added. “For this reason, and being steadfast in our commitment to work for all equally, we are about to officially open the doors of our district office in Canóvanas.”
The facilities are located in the public bus terminal in front of City Hall in Canóvanas, the New Progressive Party senator said.
“Our goal is that constituents can access all services and that we are their helping hand in the different agencies of the
Puerto Rico government,” Jiménez Santoni emphasized. “In fact, we can help them to expedite … the procedures of the different government agencies, among many other benefits.”

submitted data relevant to the negotiations and asked for an extension of the original Dec. 1 deadline to submit the PAD for the power utility.
By THE STAR STAFFThe Financial Oversight and Management Board reached a settlement with holders of about $700 million in fuel line loans to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) that will be paid through a hybrid charge consisting of a flat connection fee and a volumetric charge to be added to customers’ electricity bills.
The settlement, the oversight board said, represents a significant step toward a plan of
On Thursday, the oversight board must turn in a debt adjustment plan (PAD by its Spanish acronym) for PREPA after federal Judge Laura Taylor Swain authorized a one-week delay last week. Under PROMESA, a debt adjustment plan containing more than one impaired class with one class accepting, or no impaired accepting class in a single-class plan, can be confirmed under section 1129(b) without acceptance of other classes. Back in early November oversight board lawyers stat ed that Vitol, one of PREPA’s claimants, had agreed to accept 50% of the ultimate recovery percentage for the general unsecured claims class. The board said Vitol would be placed in its own class, which will receive such separate treatment, and Vitol will vote in favor of the plan, creating an impaired accepting class.
The announcement of the deal with the fuel line lenders came after the mediators overseeing negotiations to restructure bankrupt PREPA’s debt informed the federal court late last week that the oversight board had not
The agreement with the fuel line lenders would reduce their claim by 16% through newly issued PREPA bonds upon the effective date of the PAD. The amount and structure of the proposed hybrid charge to be used to pay the fuel line lenders have not been finalized and would be determined by the PAD.
“The Fuel Line Lenders provided PREPA with critical funding to buy fuel and have come to the table as a separate creditor group to reach an affordable deal that will help resolve PREPA’s bankruptcy,” the oversight board’s chairman, David Skeel, said in a statement late last week. “With the support of the Fuel Line Lenders we will continue to negotiate with other creditors to reach a Plan of Adjustment that would allow PREPA to move on and continue to transform into a modern and reliable energy system. This is a big step toward getting PREPA out of bankruptcy.”

The merchants of the village of Boquerón in Cabo Rojo were enthusiastic about the success of the Ninth Illumi nated Boat Parade in Cabo Rojo.
The event attracted hundreds of people from towns across the island.
The owner of the Boquemar Inn in Boquerón, Ángel Rodrí guez, said the parade included 120 boats that were decorated in tune with the Christmas season. They left the Yacht Club and toured much of the bay.
“After last year we returned with this event, after the sit
uation we faced with the COVID-19 pandemic,” Rodríguez said. “In addition, the village of Boquerón received the public with outdoor activities so they could enjoy the boats.”
He noted that one of the attractions was the Three Kings boat. The parade was part of Christmas festivities in Boquerón that began with the lighting of the area last Friday.
Meanwhile, village merchants used their resources to support the event and there were great offers at inns, restau rants and shops.
Rodríguez said it has been a blessing for the local econ omy that the festivities of Dec. 24, 25 and 31 have fallen on weekends because it is synonymous with a lot of visitors.
would have priority over principal payments to be paid on other bonds to be issued under the plan described in the agreement. In addition, fuel line lenders would receive $15 million in consummation costs and up to $11 million in reimbursement of professional fees.
Following the announcement of the deal with the fuel line lenders, Popular Democratic Party (PDP) Secretary General Luis Vega Ramos denounced it as confirmation of a “conspiracy of silence between Governor Pedro Pierluisi and the Fiscal Control Board” to impose two new increases in energy customers’ bills.
“Governor Pierluisi lied to Puerto Ricans when he secretly negotiated a new illegal con tract with LUMA that includes an increase in their profits based on rising inflation,” the PDP official said. “Undoubtedly, that will have to be paid by the people who will continue to suffer with the same mediocre service under LUMA. This new contract also had the approval, in writing, of the Fiscal Board. Now we find out that while Pierluisi and the [oversight board] gave this new blow to the country, another increase was also secretly negotiated to pay some PREPA bondholders. Two increases in the utility bill are announced in one week.”
The Biden administration is considering substantial new limits on the number of migrants who could apply for asylum in the United States, according to people familiar with the proposal, which would ex pand restrictions similar to those first put in place along the border by former President Donald Trump.
The plan is one of several being debated by President Joe Biden’s top aides as the coun try confronts a high number of illegal crossings at the border. It would prohibit migrants who are fleeing persecution from seeking refuge in the United States unless they were first denied safe harbor by another country, like Mexico.
People familiar with the discussions said the new policy, if adopted, could go into effect as soon as this month, just as the government stops using a public health rule that was put in place at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic by the Trump administration and became a key policy to manage the spike in crossings during Biden’s tenure. A federal judge has ordered the administration to stop using the health rule on Dec. 21.
But the idea of broadly prohibiting mi grants from seeking asylum strikes directly at the heart of decades of U.S. and international law that has shaped the United States’ role as a place of safety for displaced and fearful people across the globe.
And it builds on an approach embraced by Trump and Stephen Miller, the architect of the former president’s immigration agenda. Eager to keep migrants out of the United Sta tes, the Trump administration imposed what it called a transit ban and refused to consider asylum claims for migrants who had not sought refuge in other countries as they made their way to the U.S. border.
The similarities have enraged human rights advocates, who recall Biden’s fullthroated condemnation of his predecessor’s immigration policies during the 2020 cam paign.
“For the Biden administration to resu rrect that horrific policy would be playing into Stephen Miller’s hands,” said Eleanor Acer, the director for refugee protection at Human Rights First, which issued a report in 2020 about the repercussions of the transit ban. “It’s almost like Stephen Miller is still in the White House trying to block from asylum
people seeking protection from persecution.”
People familiar with the internal debate disputed that the Biden administration would embrace a policy that is the same as Trump’s programs. They also said the approach was not final and had not been presented to Biden or Alejandro N. Mayorkas, the homeland security secretary, for a decision.
One person briefed on the discussions said a new policy, if adopted, would be rolled out alongside expanded opportunities for migrants to come to the United States legally.
The person, who asked for anonymity because the closed-door discussions are continuing, said the goal of Trump’s policies was to keep people out while the Biden administration was trying to find a way to let those with valid claims in legally without overwhelming the border.
Administration officials have highlighted a recent policy that started to turn Venezuelan migrants away more quickly if they tried to cross illegally into the United States. But the policy also established a legal humanitarian pathway for 24,000 eligible Venezuelans. The combination of the two policies, officials said, has led to a significant drop in the number of Venezuelans entering the country illegally.
White House officials declined to com ment specifically on the possibility of broad new restrictions on asylum. But several people
familiar with the proposal said it was one of multiple ideas under consideration. Others include increasing prosecutions for people who cross illegally and expanding a practice that fast-tracks deportations for people who do not say that they fear returning to their country.
Any hint of renewing some of the Trumpera transit ban policy would be an extraordi nary step for a president who campaigned to restore the asylum process that his predecessor all but dismantled.
Lee Gelernt, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who fought Trump’s transit ban in federal court, says that the new policy under consideration would be just as objectionable as the public health rule, known as Title 42, that has been used to keep migrants out of the country.
“If the Biden administration simply substitutes the unlawful and anti-asylum Trump transit ban for Title 42,” Gelernt said, “we will immediately sue, as we successfully did during the Trump administration.”
Many Republican candidates seized on immigration during their midterm campaigns as an issue to energize their base voters, describing the border as out of control and criticizing Biden and his administration for the sharp rise in border crossings during the past two years.
The issue failed to deliver Republicans
control of the Senate, and Democratic candi dates in the House did better than expected, often by focusing on the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade and threats to democracy from the former president.
Even so, the Republican attacks will increase in January when the GOP reclaims control of the House, particularly if there is a rush of illegal crossings after the public health rule is lifted. Last week, the top Republican in the House, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, renewed threats to impeach Mayorkas if he does not resign, because of his handling of the situation at the border.
Officials have long known that the pu blic health order would eventually be lifted. The Department of Homeland Security had prepared a six-pillared plan as a response, and yet, the Biden administration still appears to be scrambling to come up with new policies to help manage the issue.
The department said the administration was committed to securing U.S. borders while “maintaining safe, orderly and humane processing of migrants,” even after Title 42 is lifted. “Any suggestions that U.S. policy will change are inaccurate,” said Marsha Espinosa, a department spokesperson. “No such deci sions have been made.”
Immigration advocates have been disap pointed with the lack of progress the White House has made in restoring the asylum system as the president pledged he would do. Administration officials note that courts have stopped some of those efforts and that Republicans have blocked Biden’s proposal — made on his first day in office — to overhaul the nation’s immigration system.
wishes of the Democratic National Committee, rather than those of his own party.
Disgruntled Iowa and New Hampshire might stick to their first-in-the-nation status, even if the party strips them of delegates in retaliation. Democrats running in 2024 — assuming there are any candidates besides, or instead of, Biden — would then have to decide whether the resulting “beauty contests” were worth the bragging rights alone.
If Biden runs, the state that set him on a path to the nomination in 2020 will offer a formidable first hurdle to any challengers.
“He’s created a firewall against any insurgency,” said David Axelrod, one of the architects of former President Barack Obama’s political rise. “It doesn’t mean he will run. But it certainly suggests he intends to.”
Those seeking to unseat the president would need to connect with South Carolina’s majority Black primary electorate, which is more conservative than either Iowa’s prairie progressives or New Hampshire’s northeastern Brahmins. In the state’s 2020 primary, more than 60% of Black voters chose Biden over his rivals, according to exit polls.
If Biden does not run, the new lineup is likely to scramble generations of electoral calculations.
By BLAKE HOUNSHELLand LISA LERERWhen a panel of Democratic Party insiders endorsed President Joe Biden’s preferred lineup of early presidential nominating states late last week, they didn’t just shatter the exalted status of Iowa and New Hampshire voters.
They also formally aligned themselves with a de mographic reckoning decades in the making, reflecting the growing clout of the racially diverse coalition that brought Biden to power — and implicitly rebuking two overwhelmingly white states that rejected him in 2020.
According to the proposal recommended by Biden and adopted by the party’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, South Carolina would now go first, hold ing its primary Feb. 3, 2024. Three days later, Nevada and New Hampshire would follow. Georgians would vote next on Feb. 13, then Michiganders on Feb. 27.
For political obsessives, the change — which must still be voted on by the whole committee — feels sweeping and swift.
“For the .000001% of people who follow this stuff, this is equivalent to an earthquake,” said Julián Castro, the former secretary of housing and urban development who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020. “For it to change this much in one
cycle is both impressive and will be very impactful in the years to come.”
Castro spent years arguing that Iowa should lose its spot at the front of his party’s presidential nominating calendar, even starting his primary campaign with an event in Puerto Rico — an intentional symbolic rejec tion of Iowa. He praised the new schedule, saying the broader diversity of states would offer opportunities to a wider range of candidates.
Donna Brazile, former acting chair of the Demo cratic National Committee, said the changes would offer myriad benefits to the party, “from hearing the voices of people who tend not to matter to candidates until the end to lifting up those who also might need to be part of the process.”
Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., who has lobbied for her state’s inclusion in the early states since the 1990s, said that Biden’s choices also reflected a recog nition that the party must resist the tug of its bicoastal centers of power.
“You cannot win the White House without the heartland of America,” she said.
The panel’s decision is not the last word on the calendar. Democrats will need to persuade Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to set the date of his state’s primaries according to the
For decades, the Iowa caucuses were an early proving ground for upstart candidates, including Jimmy Carter and Obama. The state carried mystique as a kingmaker, even as it increasingly evolved to be older, whiter and more Republican than Democratic. The chaotic counting of the state’s caucus voters in 2020, when final results took a week, marked its de mise for many.
A number of party strategists argued that the low costs of campaigning in South Carolina would allow underdogs to continue to surprise the country.
“The state is not so expensive that you can’t go live there and get it done,” said Jeremy Bird, a Demo cratic strategist.
Bird, who helped guide Obama to a nearly 30-point primary win in South Carolina in 2008, said the diversity there would force candidates to spend more time in rural Black communities, historically Black colleges and universities and Southern cities, and less time in grange halls and the living rooms of caucus microinfluencers.
Traditionally, skipping Iowa was viewed as a sign of weakness by pundits, donors and strategists. But the quick pace of the first three states, with Nevada and New Hampshire coming just three days after South Carolina, could reshape that calculation.
“If it’s an open primary in the future, you could have lots of different strategies,” Bird said. “You could have someone that skips South Carolina altogether. You could have someone that skips Nevada. It will be fascinating to see.”
Every few hours comes another call. A food delivery driver who heard a woman screaming. A mother asking the police to walk her daughter to her car after work. A woman who woke up at 3 a.m. to find her front door wide open.
The flood of calls to the Moscow Po lice Department is a sign of just how afraid people in this college town have become, three weeks after four University of Idaho students were fatally stabbed by an unknown assailant in their bedrooms in the middle of the night.
Many students refused to come back to campus after Thanksgiving, and some classrooms at the university now sit halfempty. Those who did return said they bought doorbell cameras, put rods in their windows to lock them shut or began hunkering down with roommates at night.
“I ask my friends for rides all the time,” said Jemimah Tudi, a sophomore from India who said she no longer walks alone after dark and expects to get pepper spray for Christmas.
The fear that sits over this city of 25,000 people in the rolling hills of northern Idaho is unlikely to ease until the killer or killers are caught. But there is little indication that the police are any closer to making an arrest than they were on the day of the killings, Nov. 13, when news of the stabbings sickened resi dents and turned this normally idyllic college town into the scene of a national mystery.
The police have issued sometimes contradictory statements, leading at least one victim’s family to question whether investigators are up to the task of solving a quadruple homicide in a city that had not seen a murder since 2015.
“So frustrating. No info at all,” Alivea Goncalves, the older sister of one victim, Kaylee Goncalves, said in a text message last week after the police held their most recent news conference. “They have done nothing to gain any of our trust.”
The house at 1122 King Road is tucked away on a dead-end street about a five-minute walk from the fraternity houses that line one edge of campus, with cars packed tightly into driveways and students often walking to and from class along snowy pathways.
The three-story house was a place where friends often socialized and posed for smiling pictures, social media posts from earlier this year show. But for the past
three weeks, it has sat empty, marked off by police tape and guarded day and night by a police officer.
The slain students’ possessions remain behind: a pair of pink cowboy boots just inside a third-floor window, a neon sign on a wall that reads “good vibes,” a couch collecting snow on the back patio.
Killed in the early-morning attack were Kaylee Goncalves, 21, who was planning to graduate in the winter and move to Austin, Texas; Madison Mogen, 21, who loved con certs and had worked from a young age to help support herself; Xana Kernodle, 20, a marketing major who had begun to blossom while living away from home; and Ethan Chapin, 20, Kernodle’s boyfriend and a triplet who seemed to be always smiling or telling a joke. The three women lived in the home, and Chapin was visiting his girlfriend.
On Saturday, Nov. 12, Chapin and Ker nodle spent the evening at a fraternity party while Goncalves and Mogen went to a sports bar in town. They all returned shortly before 2 a.m., and phone records show that a series of calls were soon placed from Goncalves’ phone to her former longtime boyfriend, Jack DuCoeur, who is also a student at the university, her older sister said.
DuCoeur did not pick up, and there were six more calls until 2:52 a.m., when they stopped. Several calls to the same number were also placed at about the same time using Mogen’s phone, the police said.
Little is known about what happened after that.
What authorities have said is that at some point in the night, someone armed with a large knife attacked the victims, likely as they slept, and managed to escape without waking the two additional roommates. Goncalves’ father said that Goncalves and Mogen were in the same bed when they were killed.
It was not until just before noon that the two surviving roommates realized something was wrong. The police said that they first ca lled friends over to the apartment, believing that one of their roommates was passed out, and that someone called 911 shortly after.
When the police arrived, they found a gruesome scene but no murder weapon or sign of forced entry. No possible mo tive has been disclosed, and there are no suspects. The police said they had learned through interviews that Goncalves may have told friends she was worried about a stalker, but authorities have not been able
to verify that.
The shock of neighbors and students quickly gave way to fear. Residents began checking their locks, texting one another their whereabouts and calling the police over everything that seemed out of place — a revved engine in a Walmart parking lot, a man seen “wandering around.”
Neighbors also began sharing the story of a man on the outskirts of town who repor ted that his neighbor’s dog had been found a few weeks before the murders, skinned from neck to legs. (The police reassured the public that they “do not believe there is any evidence” that the incident was related to the students’ deaths.)
Seeking to calm the community, the police quickly said they believed there was no “ongoing community risk” or “imminent threat.” An initial statement from the police that the attacks were “targeted” was walked back and forth, with Bill Thompson, the Latah County prosecutor, saying at one point that he had no more information than the public about why the police had called it that.
“That’s what they told us, and we ac cepted that at face value,” he said.
The claims never made sense to locals, students or their parents, since the police were also saying they did not know who had committed the killings or where they might be. Chief James Fry of the Moscow Police Department ultimately conceded, three days after the crimes, that the police “cannot say
that there is no threat.”
Blaine Eckles, the dean of students at the university, said about one-third of students who live in residence halls had not returned, though he did not have a figure for how many of the vast majority of students who live off campus have switched to online learning. As some students returned to campus Monday following the holiday break, they said their classes were emptier than usual, and a hea viness could be felt over campus.
“It’s still so unknown, and you don’t know what’s going on,” said Helen C., a senior who declined to give her full last name because she feared for her safety. “I’m hopeful, but it also seems like the further you get away from it, the easier it is to not find anyone, and then — not to be scary — you start thinking about Ted Bundy and all the stuff he did.”
Helen said she and her roommate had recently invited a friend to spend the night with them after learning that the friend’s roommates had not yet returned to town, leaving her alone at home.
Some students said that even though they worried about the possibility of another attack, they did not like the thought of retur ning to remote classes after doing so for long stretches during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Being an engineering student, I didn’t really have a choice,” Jaydon Morgan, a freshman, said after attending a noticeably empty calculus class. “It’s either in-person or struggling at home.”
he demonstrated that the U.S. command of everyday intelligence — where Japanese forces were, where they were going — was just as important as the sheer firepower the United States brought to the fight.
His goal, he wrote in “Combined Fleet Decoded: The Secret History of American Intelligence and the Japanese Navy in World War II” (1995), was to “reassess the outcomes of battles and campaigns in terms not just of troops or ships but of how the secret war played out.”
For decades after World War II, such information was virtually impossible to access. Prados was still a graduate student at Columbia University when, in the 1970s, historians and journalists began taking advantage of the Freedom of Information Act to crack open government archives.
But going through the material was a slog, especially before digitization. Only a few people had the fortitude for it. Prados was one.
Contra affair.
“The American people not only have a need but a right to know their history,” he told The New York Times in 1993.
John Frederick Prados was born in the New York City borough of Queens on Jan. 9, 1951 — the same birthday as President Richard Nixon, he often noted, with a mix of humor and horror. When he was in middle school, his father, Jose Prados-Herrero, moved the family to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where he took a job with a sports arena. John’s mother, Betty Lou (McGuire) Prados, taught English as a second language.
Prados graduated from high school in Puerto Rico, then returned to New York to attend Columbia. He received a bachelor’s degree in political science and international affairs in 1973 and a doctorate in political science in 1982.
By CLAY RISENJohn Prados, a military historian whose dogged pursuit of classified government material led him to write dozens of books upsetting accepted truths about the Cold War, Vietnam and the U.S. intelligence community, while also achieving renown as an award-winning board game designer, died Tuesday in Silver Spring, Maryland. He was 71.
His partner, Ellen Pinzur, said the cause of death, at a hospital, was cancer.
A self-described product of the 1960s who, with his ropy ponytail and bushy mustache, certainly looked the part, Prados was
both a scholar and an activist.
As a historian, he wrote thick, deeply researched books on subjects as varied as the Battle of Leyte Gulf during World War II, the success of the Ho Chi Minh Trail during the Vietnam War and the White House’s maneuverings before the 2003 Iraq War.
Running through all his work was the contention that records of intelligence and covert activities represented a sort of historical dark matter: a vast amount of material that, while invisible in conventional narratives, could, if revealed, radically shift our understanding of the past.
Across several books about the Pacific theater in World War II, for example,
“He was an archives rat,” said Thomas Blanton, director of the National Security Archive, where Prados was a senior fellow. “He was the ultimate prospector in the primary source gold mine.”
Although he held a doctorate from Columbia, Prados never held a full-time academic position. Still, he was respected by academic historians and accepted into professional organizations, including the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations.
“John was astonishingly productive, but what stands out in his work is the attention to detail,” Fredrik Logevall, a historian at Harvard University, said in an email. “He was ever on the hunt for new sources, for the latest declassified documents, and he put them to expert use in his books.”
Prados was driven by more than intellectual curiosity. As a young man in the early 1970s, he had been shocked by the extent of of ficial per fidy revealed by documents such as the Pentagon Papers and events such as the Watergate scandal, and he believed that democracy hinged on the public’s access to government secrets.
Like other scholars and journalists who utilized the Freedom of Information Act, he worried that the lessons learned by his generation, coming out of the 1960s, were being forgotten in the 1980s, just as the Reagan administration was pushing secret wars in Central America and illegal deals such as the one revealed by the Iran-
His dissertation, about the successes and failures of U.S. intelligence assessments of Soviet military power, became his first book, “The Soviet Estimate: U.S. Intelligence Analysis and Soviet Strategic Forces” (1982).
His marriage to Jill Gay ended in divorce. Along with his partner, he is survived by his daughters from his marriage, Dani and Tasha; his brother, Joe; and his sister, Mary.
After years spent collaborating with the National Security Archive, he joined the organization as a senior fellow in 1997. He soon became its most visible and vocal figure, quick with a quotation or research tip for a like-minded journalist, especially after 9/11 and the Iraq War, events that he feared would herald a new era of government secrecy.
Prados liked to say that his love for researching and writing was closely related to his second passion: designing board games that intricately simulated historical military conflicts. He created more than 30 such games, with titles involving the Napoleonic wars, World War II and, of course, Vietnam.
Many of his games have come to be regarded as classics of their genre, none more so than The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (1974), a globe-spanning strategy contest in which players, as the different warring nations, balance economic and military resources against the chance of a dice roll. The game won a Charlie award, the top honor in war-game design.
Fans of the game were legion, and farflung: Chilean author Roberto Bolaño created a character who mastered it in his novel “The Third Reich.”
President Joe Biden is overseeing the sort of labor market that, by most measures, any White House would celebrate. Unemployment remains near a half-century low, the Labor Department reported Friday. As it recovers steep pandemic losses, the economy has already added more jobs through November than in any other year on record, except for 2021, Biden’s first in office.
The president cheered those numbers Friday: “We continue to create jobs — lots of jobs,” he told repor ters before signing a bill to avert a nationwide rail strike. “We’re in a situation where things are moving — moving in the right direction.”
But for the Federal Reserve, the report offered little to celebrate. Officials have been waiting for hiring and wage growth to slow, paving the way for a more balan ced economy in which inflation, which is running near a 40-year high, can return to normal. Instead, both have remained resiliently strong even as the early effects of the Fed’s rapid 2022 interest rate increases begin to play out.
“In the labor market, demand for workers far exce eds the supply of available workers,” Fed Chair Jerome Powell said during a speech this week. Officials are loo king for “the restoration of balance between supply and demand in the labor market.”
That divide — between whether strong job gains should be seen as good news for workers or bad news for inflation — underscores the unique challenges that lie ahead for the economy and the White House next year.
The president has consistently preached cautious optimism about the economy, even as inflation has stubbornly defied his administration’s predictions that it would soon moderate. “We are seeing initial signs that we are making progress in tackling inflation, even as we make the transition to more steady, stable economic growth,” Biden said in a news release Thursday, before the jobs numbers were released. “That’s good news for the American people, and further evidence that my eco nomic plan is working.”
The jobs report in some ways supported his sunny take. Employers added 263,000 jobs in November, con tinuing to provide the backbone of administration claims that the recovery is on track. In a background call with reporters Thursday, administration economic officials emphasized that recent data, including consumer spen ding figures and current measures of quarterly growth, continues to show the U.S. economy holding up far bet ter than comparable wealthy nations around the world.
Administration aides have also expressed a rising confidence that still-high inflation could, finally, be tren ding toward historically normal levels.
Yet the same resilience that is giving the Biden ad
ministration positive talking points today could create trouble later on if it makes it harder for the Fed to stamp out rapid inflation.
Consumer price index data shows that inflation has begun to moderate, but it remains far faster than the Fed’s goal: It was running at 7.7% in October compa red with a year earlier, much more than the roughly 2% annual gains that used to be the norm.
Fed officials do see hopeful signs that inflation will cool next year. Supply chain problems are easing and market-based rent prices are no longer jumping, and both of those changes should provide some relief. But with the labor market so strong and wages climbing quickly, central bankers have also warned that it will be difficult for price increases to fall back to normal levels.
The labor market “shows only tentative signs of re balancing, and wage growth remains well above levels that would be consistent with 2% inflation over time,” Powell said this week.
That is what makes Friday’s report an awkward one for the central bank. It provided welcome news that the labor market is resilient, on one hand, but it also showed that companies are hiring at more than 2.5 times the pace the Fed thinks is necessary to accommodate population growth. Wage growth re-accelerated on a monthly basis, climbing a hefty 5.1% compared with the prior year.
Investors read the report as a sign that the Fed will need to keep raising rates into 2023. That could make it harder to achieve a so-called soft landing, where in flation slows but the economy avoids recession — an outcome that Biden and Powell say they would like to see.
“To the extent that Chair Powell put some air into the soft landing narrative this week, this report undoes that to some degree,” said Neil Dutta, head of U.S. eco nomics at Renaissance Macro Research.
Dutta said that if the economy remains strong, that could prod Fed policymakers to work harder to slow consumer and business demand. That would increase the chances that the economy gets painfully squeezed down the road, sending unemployment higher.
Biden seemed to brush off those fears Friday, no ting that in recent months, wage gains have outpaced inflation: “Wages for working families, in fact, over the last couple months have gone up. Up,” he said. “These wage increases are larger than the increase in inflation over the same period of time.”
But Fed officials have struck a firmer tone, making it clear that pay gains will need to come down in order for them to be confident that inflation is under control.
“Strong wage growth is a good thing,” Powell said this week. “But for wage growth to be sustainable, it ne eds to be consistent with 2% inflation.”
rican women can expect to live to 84, second only to Asian American women, at 87, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — the consequences of low wages and a lack of access to workplace savings opportunities add up. The longer life expectancy becomes a mixed blessing, translating to more financial burdens in old age, the Social Security Administration has found. Overall, 42% of women who receive Social Security benefits rely on them for more than half their income, according to the administration.
A number of issues contribute to Hispanic women’s lack of collective wealth, experts said. There is a significant pay gap between them and others: They earn 57 cents on the dollar compared with white men, a bigger gap than Black and white women face.
Over a 40-year career, that gap shortchanges them by more than $1.2 million, said Jasmine Tucker, director of research at the National Women’s Law Center. That gap is exacerbated by breaks from the workforce to care for children or older relatives, she said.
families to be born in this country,” she said. “They might be the first to go to college or the first to make more money than their parents.”
Torres-Gil said he was noticing a trend in his own work.
“We’re seeing an increase in the proportion of Hispanics going on to higher education,” he said. “The majority happen to be female. And it doesn’t matter whether they’re first generation or second generation. They’re recognizing that they have to depend on themselves first, and they’re far more likely than previous cohorts to invest or have access to 401(k)s.”
Azucena Guzman, 46, is an owner of Miriam’s Flower Shop in New York City. She and her brother, who lives nearby, share responsibility for housing and financially supporting their 70-year-old mother. Guzman’s mother has some health issues, including diabetes and arthritis. She does not receive Social Security benefits because until a few years ago, she was living in the country illegally.
By TAMMY LA GORCEBefore Lupita Uribe married in 2020, she told her husband-to-be that a wedding wasn’t in her future unless he was OK with two promises she had made herself. One: She intended to keep living in San Francisco, where she had grown up and where she works in internal communications for Twilio, a software developer. Two: Her mother would eventually move in with her.
“I always say I’m my parents’ retirement plan,” Uribe, 29, said. As a Latina, she said, she knows that caring for aging family members is a part of her culture and is nonnegotiable. But
making it happen financially, something she is working on, can come with challenges.
Last year, the Institute for Women’s Policy Research found that compared with every other racial, ethnic and gender group, Latinas earned the least. They are also the most likely to have no bank account and to work in lower-wage jobs without pensions or retirement savings plans, said Judy Chapa, a financial educator who helped start a two-year study, the Latina Savings Project, with Mana, an advocacy organization for Latinas, and a nonprofit group, the Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement.
Because Latinas are one of the longestliving demographic groups — Hispanic Ame-
In some households, traditional gender roles that can leave Latinas dependent on spouses can render them financially insecure, said Fernando Torres-Gil, director of the Center for Policy Research on Aging at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs and a member of the Latino Policy & Politics Institute.
“For a lot of them, it’s still: The husband will provide a long, happy life,” he said.
Uribe’s parents emigrated from the state of Jalisco, in western Mexico, when she was 6. They divorced the year they arrived in California. Both had gone to college before immigrating, but their degrees didn’t transfer, Uribe said, and they took jobs in the service sector. Uribe’s mother worked as a private housekeeper, while her father logged years working for AAA and now owns his own roadside assistance service in Sacramento, California. While they stayed clear of debt, neither has been able to accumulate much for retirement.
Uribe said she didn’t know much about investing until she started working at Twilio.
“When I got a higher-paying job, I had the bandwidth to actually think about my future instead of my immediate needs,” she said. “I felt like I needed to be intelligent about building future wealth.”
That line of thought led her last year to Valerie Rivera, a certified financial planner and the founder of FirstGen Wealth in Chicago. Rivera knew right away that she wanted to work with Uribe.
“My clients are often the first in their
Guzman has no savings and doesn’t expect to be able to start putting away money for retirement any time soon. Her financial focus is instead on repaying a $28,000 government loan that kept her business from closing permanently during the worst of the pandemic. The interest rate is low, she said, but with that obligation she has trouble envisioning retirement at all. She does worry about paying for health care emergencies.
“I don’t feel as good as when I was 20,” she said. “But I need to do something for my mother and myself. That’s my concern.”
Inspired by situations like Guzman’s, Cindy Hounsell, president of the Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement, started the Latina Savings Project in 2017. AARP helped fund the program, which offers financial education workshops and encourages moderate- and lowincome Latinas to save and invest with as little as $20. The first few years of the workshops, Hounsell said, showed positive results: Threequarters of participants offered the chance to open a savings account at a local credit union signed up. Of those, the majority saved during the six-month period after enrollment.
Uribe, for her part, said she felt well compensated for her work. She received a bonus this year that left her torn over whether to invest the money or spend it on expanding a family-owned property in Mexico that is intended for the extended clan to use. She turned to Rivera for help.
“We decided to instead invest it in the market,” Uribe said. “Since it’s at such a low, it made more sense to do that right now for longterm gains.”

Iran has abolished the morality police, according to remarks by the attorney general carried on state me dia, following months of protests set off by the death of a young woman who was being held by the force for supposedly violating the country’s strict Islamic dress laws.
The decision, reported by state news outlets late Sat urday, appeared to be the government’s first major con cession to the protest movement ignited by the death of the young woman, Mahsa Amini, 22, in September in the custody of the morality police. The unrest has amounted to one of the biggest challenges in decades to Iran’s system of authoritarian clerical rule.
The morality police “was abolished by the same au thorities who installed it,” Attorney General Mohammad Javad Montazeri said in remarks during a meeting Satur day where officials were discussing the unrest, accord ing to state media reports. But he went on to suggest that the judiciary would still enforce restrictions on “social behavior.”
On Thursday, the attorney general said authori ties were reviewing the law requiring women to cover their bodies in long, loose clothing and their hair with a headscarf or hijab and would issue a decision within 15 days. But it was not immediately clear whether au thorities were planning to relax the law, which remains in place.
The absence of any official government statement on disbanding the force left some to question where the policy stood exactly. But by late Sunday, authorities had not issued a denial on state media outlets either, even after the attorney general’s remarks were widely report ed by the international news media.
There have been many reports from residents of Iran that the morality police have scarcely been seen on the streets since the protests erupted nearly three months ago and women have been increasingly appearing in public with their hair uncovered. But other security forc es, including the notorious Basij militiamen, have been
beating and arresting women who go out with their hair uncovered, according to videos of the protests.
Abolishing the morality police would have a ma jor impact on the state’s ability to control what women wear. The primary role of the morality police was to enforce the laws related to Iran’s conservative Islamic dress code, imposed after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and recently invigorated by the country’s new ultracon servative president.
The dress code for women became an ideological pillar of the ruling clerical establishment, central to its identity.
Iranian women have been challenging the dress code since its inception, embracing colorful robes, bare ly covering their hair in loose wraps and, in some cases, even letting their headscarves drop onto their shoulders, baring their hair. Enforcement of the code has always been uneven and arbitrary, ranging from verbal warn ings, to fines, to arrests.
When Amini died in custody after being arrested by the morality police on a Tehran street, the nationwide protests that followed focused initially on the Islamic dress laws but quickly morphed into demands to end
clerical rule and allow greater social freedom, tapping into years of pent-up anger.
The protests, now in their third month, have been led by women and young people. Protesters chanted “woman, life, freedom,” tore off their hijabs, burned them in street bonfires and cut their hair in symbolic acts of defiance.
University students chanted “Killings after killings, to hell with morality police!”
The movement has grown to encompass the entire range of discontents with Iran’s ruling establishment, making it unclear whether protesters would be satisfied with the concession announced by the attorney general.
Demonstrators fed up with political repression, cen sorship, corruption and economic mismanagement have called for an end to Iran’s Islamic Republic. They have taken aim directly at the most powerful man in Iran, Su preme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whom they want removed from power.
Women’s rights activists led the way in carving out greater flexibility around the hijab, defying the law with protests in which they exposed their hair in videos post ed to social media or in the street. But after the election of a new hard-line president, Ebrahim Raisi, last year, the government cracked down.
In the months before the protests began in mid-Sep tember, videos of the morality police dragging women into vans bound for reeducation centers — in one case, while the woman’s mother begged them to stop — had stirred fresh outrage among Iranians.
In September, the United States imposed sanctions on the morality police.
Security forces have responded to the protest move ment with a crackdown that has left hundreds dead, and the government has threatened harsh punishment for dissent — including executions.
Rights groups say that at least 400 people have been killed since the protests began, including 50 minors, and the United Nations has said that some 14,000 people have been arrested. The government says at least 30 members of the security forces have been killed.
An “essential point” in any peace talks on the war in Ukraine should be how to provide security “guarantees to Russia,” given Moscow’s concerns over NATO, President Emmanuel Macron of France has said.
Macron’s remarks, in a television interview broad cast Saturday, picked up a theme he has pursued since before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, but has not repeated of late. “We need to
prepare what we are ready to do, how we protect our allies and member states, and how to give guarantees to Russia the day it returns to the negotiating table,” Ma cron said.
“One of the essential points we must address — as President Putin has always said — is the fear that NATO comes right up to its doors, and the deployment of weapons that could threaten Russia,” he said.
The interview with TF1, a French television network, appeared sympathetic to the concerns of President Vladimir Putin of Russia and was immediately picked up
prominently by TASS, the Russian state news agency. It prompted an angry reaction in Ukraine.
Macron gave the interview during his state visit to the United States, which ended Saturday. It was broad cast as he departed.
During his visit, Macron was at pains to underscore unequivocal French backing for the Ukrainian cause, pledging increased French military support, and Presi dent Joe Biden indicated conditional openness to speak ing to Putin. On that basis, the two leaders presented a united front.
Paul Whelan, an American imprisoned in Russia, called his family Friday morning, breaking a si lence that his family called highly unusual and that led the Biden administration to express concern for his well-being.
“Paul called our parents today at around 5:30 a.m. Eastern,” Whelan’s brother, David, wrote in an email to supporters. He said that his brother did not explain why he had been out of contact for more than two weeks and failed to called home as scheduled on Thanksgiving.
Nor did Paul Whelan tell his parents why he had re cently been transferred to the hospital of a Russian pris on where he is serving a 16-year sentence on espionage charges that the United States calls politically motivated.
“So the call at least acts as a ‘proof of life,’ even if nothing else has been explained,” David Whelan wrote.
Consular officials with the U.S. Embassy in Mos cow spoke to Paul Whelan on Friday, State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters. Price said that Whelan told them that he had been transferred to a prison hospital on Thanksgiving Day, but had been re turned Friday to the penal colony where he is serving his sentence.
“Paul stated that he was feeling well,” Price said, adding that the unexplained transfer was not unprec edented. “We have unfortunately experienced the prac tice of Russian authorities to move detained American citizens without pre-notification of any sort,” he said.
Winning the release of Whelan and Brittney Griner, a professional basketball player who also is being held in a Russian penal colony after she was sentenced to nine years in prison for drug smuggling, “is something that we have been constantly working on through every available channel,” Price said.
Whelan, a former U.S. Marine who became a cor porate security executive, was arrested at a Moscow ho tel in December 2018 and accused of spying. He was convicted in June 2020 on espionage charges that the U.S. government says were manufactured.
The Biden administration considers Whelan and Griner tantamount to political hostages.
The extreme tensions between Washington and Moscow over the war in Ukraine have complicated ef forts to win their release.
Biden administration officials have proposed that Russia release the two Americans in exchange for the release of Viktor Bout, a Russian arms dealer being held in the United States. Bout was sentenced in 2011 to a 25-year prison term for conspiring to sell weapons to people who said they planned to kill Americans.
Russia has not accepted the offer, and U.S. officials say they would continue to discuss options with the Rus sians through official channels.
On Wednesday, John Kirby, a National Security Council spokesperson, told reporters that the Biden ad ministration was “deeply concerned about the lack of information and the lack of contact from Paul, and we’re working on this really as hard as we can through diplo matic channels.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken told MSNBC that he was troubled by the situation.
In his email to supporters Friday, David Whelan said he believed that the State Department’s “public display of concern also had something to do” with his brother’s call and nodded to the mental toll of tracking his broth er’s situation.
“It has been a great relief to return to that baseline knowledge of ‘Paul is definitely being held hostage in a Russian labor camp’ and not have to consider worse outcomes,” he wrote.
Apassenger died and four others were injured after a large, unexpected wave hit a cruise ship travel ing toward a popular launching point for expedi tions to Antarctica, Viking Cruises said. The ship, the Viking Polaris, was struck by a “rogue wave” on Tuesday at 10:40 p.m. local time while travel
ing toward Ushuaia, Argentina, which is on the southern tip of South America, Viking Cruises said in a statement.
Viking Cruises did not say how the passenger was killed or provide the passenger’s name. The four injured passengers were treated by onboard medical staff and had non-life-threatening injuries, Viking Cruises said.
A State Department official said that a U.S. citizen died and that it was offering consular assistance to the person’s family.
Rogue waves are unpredictable, typically twice the size of surrounding waves and often come from a dif ferent direction than the surrounding wind and waves, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad ministration. Scientists are still trying to figure out how and when these uncommon waves form.
Ann Mah, of Topeka, Kansas, told the news station WIBW that she and her husband were on the ship when it was hit by the wave and that it was “just like your whole house got shook really hard.”
“I mean, it was just a thud,” Mah said.
Tourism to the Antarctic has steadily increased in recent decades, prompting concerns about environmental damage and human safety.
The Viking Polaris was launched this year and was designed for travel to remote destinations such as the Antarctic Peninsula. The ship is 665 feet long and can carry 378 passengers and 256 crew members.
The ship sustained “limited damage” from the wave and arrived in Ushuaia the day after it was struck, Viking
Cruises said.
The cruise company canceled the Viking Polaris’ next scheduled trip, a 13-day cruise to the Antarctic Pen insula.
“We are investigating the facts surrounding this in cident and will offer our support to the relevant authori ties,” the company said.
Tourism to the Antarctic has steadily increased in the last 30 years, with 74,401 people traveling there in the 2019-20 season, according to the International Associa tion of Antarctica Tour Operators. Roughly 6,700 people traveled there in the 1992-93 season, according to the association.
In recent years, some observers have warned that the increase in tourism may not be sustainable and that it could threaten visitor safety or disrupt the fragile envi ronment, which is already straining under the effects of climate change.
It is the start of the Antarctic tourism season, which coincides with its summer, beginning in late October or early November and usually lasting until March.
The death on the Viking Cruises ship last week comes after the death of two other cruise ship passengers in the Antarctic last month. Two Quark Expeditions passengers died after one of the ship’s inflatable Zodiac boats over turned near shore, Seatrade Cruise News reported.
Abulldozer paused and everything went silent in the night as a firefighter, spot ting a pink sweater in a generator’s light, reached into the mud-caked debris. This time, it was only a sweater.
Torrential rains last weekend sent a power ful landslide plowing through Casamicciola Terme, a port town on the southern Italian is land of Ischia, killing 11 residents — including a newborn baby and two small children — and washing away houses and burying streets. This past week, rescue workers and volunteers continued to dig for survivors and to unearth the town from under thick rivers of mud.
“I was born here and can’t remember an ything like this,” said Filippo Martira, a 53-yearold hotel worker, covered boots to hat in mud, as he helped clean up along what residents call Via Lava because it has served as a gateway for the mountain’s regurgitation for centuries.
But as some evacuees came back to search for their belongings, many felt an unwelcome scrutiny from a nation that was asking whether the island’s abundance of illegally construc ted houses had increased the vulnerability of a town that sits in a geologically fragile zone across the bay from Naples.
Authorities have not clarified which buil dings, if any, may have been illegally built. But a series of amnesties over decades from va rious Italian governments may have rendered most of them legal in any case. That has set off hand-wringing among politicians, including the far-right party of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and a bitter round of finger pointing over who was to blame.
“We have no zoning plan since the 1960s,” Vincenzo Capuano, 64, a town resident, said as friends emptied his basement of mud one bucket at a time. “Politicians have never deci ded where residents can build here. There is no way to build legally.”
Illegal construction has blighted Italy’s coastlines, hilly landscapes and cities, but the practice is especially endemic in the poorer southern regions, including Campania. On Is chia, an island of 63,000 famous for its thermal baths, 27,000 requests for amnesty on illegal works are pending, from altered windows to entire homes.
Italy has a long history of condoning these illegal constructions, and the anticipation that another amnesty will always arrive has promp ted offenders to keep building illegally, marring some of the country’s most pristine beaches with shoddy, and unsightly, homes.
In 1985, Bettino Craxi, the prime minister at the time, introduced a large amnesty for ille
gal buildings. Silvio Berlusconi, now a member of the governing right-wing coalition, expan ded the amnesties when he was prime minister in 1994 and 2003. He allowed residents who broke zoning rules, constructed illegal houses or added entire wings to their homes to pay a fine in return for regularization.
Then in 2018, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, the leader of a hard-right and populist government, passed a custom-made measure for Ischia — slipped into a law ostensibly to speed reconstruction of a major bridge that had collapsed in Genoa.
The policy seemed a political win-win, popular with voters but also providing some extra cash for Italy’s coffers. But it has now left Conte and his increasingly leftist and southernbased Five Star Movement scrambling to de fend themselves, with legalistic explanations.
“A political analysis should not revolve around the word ‘amnesty’ in that decree,” Barbara Floridia, a Five Star senator told Par liament this past week. “It does not mean that there was an amnesty. I am against the mafia and, in this sentence, there is the word ‘mafia.’ Does it mean that I am for the mafia?”
Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party voted in favor of Conte’s amnesty measure when it was in the opposition. She has sought to avoid the amnesty issue, focusing on climate change and hydrogeological risks, and earmarked 2 million euros ($2.1 million) in aid to the island.
Liberal opponents of Meloni, who are also wary of Conte’s increasing popularity on the left, have seized on the issue as a way to hurt them both.
“We need to take an example from this event and never allow amnesties again,” En rico Letta, secretary of the Democratic Party, which voted against the measure in 2018, said this past week. “Illegal building practices have unfortunately played a role in Ischia.”
Bruno Molinaro, a lawyer in Ischia who is an expert in construction amnesty, argued that most of the applications in the town were for minor changes and that it often takes decades for homeowners to get a response.
Some have been pending for 37 years, he said. Municipalities tend to avoid exami ning them because once they discover that a building is noncompliant, they have to take it down. That is expensive for the town, and ow ners rarely pay back demolition costs.
Taking down so many houses, he added, would prompt a rebellion, in Ischia like el sewhere in the country.
“Everybody in Ischia, and in Italy,” Moli naro said, “tries to make a place in the sun for themselves and their families.”
But locals say that the bureaucratic delays
were compounded by fatal negligence on Epo meo Mountain, which hovers above the town.
The terracing and draining systems of the mountain’s forests should safely channel rain from the mountain to the sea. But they haven’t been maintained. Local hunters said the slopes had become cluttered with tree branches, lea ves, rocks and even home appliances. Millions of euros have been set aside for maintenance just in the past 10 years. But a lack of political will, administrative personnel and expertise has prevented the funds from being used.
“I remember workers routinely cleaning up the canal underneath the street here when I was a boy,” said Antonio Senese, 47, who runs the family’s car rental and hearse business that lost vehicles worth almost 300,000 euros (about $315,000) in the disaster.
“Farmers and authorities cleaning up the mountains,” he said. “None of that exists an ymore.”
On the night of the landslide, mud poun
ded Via Celario and Via Santa Barbara, the most damaged residential streets, washing away about 10 homes. Within them, four chil dren slept. The youngest, a 22-day-old infant, was found dead in his dead mother’s arms. Three other children were found dead near their beds.
A young woman was still missing this past week, even as a rescuers sifted debris — mat tresses, wooden drawers and a stroller’s wheel — and mud from a home.
“It was similar to an avalanche,” said Pao lo Parlani, the firefighters’ coordinator. “We think that the missing are somewhere under this rubble, but they could also have been dra gged down the hill by the force of the storm.”
He gently reassured the family who had been standing by the search site for days, that the firefighters would do anything they could to retrieve the young woman’s body. On Fri day, they were working under the rain to keep that promise.
The sea of rag-and-stick tents that spreads in every direction from the hungry, embattled city of Baidoa, in southern Somalia, gives way to sprawling plains controlled by the militants of al-Sha bab.
More than 165,000 refugees have streamed into Baidoa since early last year, fleeing the ravages of Somalia’s fiercest drought in 40 years. Among them was Maryam, a 2-year-old girl whose family had lost everything.
The drought withered their crops, star ved their animals and transformed their mo dest farm into a howling dust bowl. They endured a five-day trek to Baidoa, braving Islamist check posts, hoping to reach safety.
But one recent afternoon Maryam, weak from hunger and sickness, began to cough and vomit. Her mother, cradling Maryam in her arms, called for help.
Calamity beckons in Somalia, where a combination of extreme weather and extre mists is driving the country toward its most serious humanitarian disaster in more than a decade. Five seasons of failed rains, linked to climate change, have hit 7.8 million So malis, 300,000 of whom are experiencing severe starvation.
But weather alone doesn’t create fami ne, experts say — it takes people, too. The biggest obstacle to a massive relief effort is the presence of al-Shabab, the extremists who dispatch suicide bombers and forcibly recruit children, tax farmers and prevent aid groups from reaching the worst-hit areas.
Somalis are waiting to see if aid experts will formally declare a famine in the coming weeks. Many already fear that history is re peating: Somalia’s last two great famines, in 1992 and 2011, which killed half a million people between them, were also the pro duct of drought supercharged by war.
Designated levels of hunger mean nothing for Maryam, who died just before sunset Nov. 3. Men from the camp carried her remains, wrapped in a donated shroud, in a quiet procession to a small graveyard on the edge of Baidoa. A small twig with green shoots marks her grave.
Her mother, Nurtay Nurow, remained behind in their tent, mourning the third child she has lost to the drought.
“I felt so helpless,” she said the next day, resigned yet dry-eyed, her two remai ning sons sitting silently by her side.
It has been a year since Somalia’s go vernment declared the drought a national emergency, but aid workers say the crisis is now critical. Every minute, on average, a severely malnourished child is admitted to a health center for treatment. Hospital wards are filling with starving children ex periencing measles, pneumonia and other diseases that prey on the weak.
At least 1.1 million people have aban doned their homes for crowded, dirty camps like the ones around Baidoa. The United Nations says it needs an additional $1 billion for emergency food, water and shelter.
Without urgent action, at least 500,000 children will be at risk of death by mid2023, “a pending nightmare we have not seen this century,” UNICEF spokesperson James Elder said recently.
Kenya and Ethiopia are also victims of the unrelenting two-year drought, which has pushed 21 million people in the Horn of Africa to the brink. But the situation is most acute in Somalia, where a grim con fluence of factors has turned a crisis into a catastrophe.
Scientists say that longer and more frequent droughts are a product of climate change caused by the emissions of coun tries that are far richer than Somalia, which emits practically nothing. In 2019, according
to the World Bank, Somalia produced 690 kilotons of carbon emissions — 1/7,000 as much as the United States, which produced 4.8 million kilotons.
Trapped between hostile forces that seem either intangible or invincible, Soma lis are shouting for help.
“If these kids don’t get what they need, they are going to die,” said an aid worker, Ali Nur Mohamed, at a feeding center in Baidoa funded by World Vision. Around him, women extended their shawls to co llect sachets of a peanut paste that revives starving infants.
“There are shortages of food, of water — of everything,” he said.
Baidoa, once known as the breadbas ket of Somalia, has a decades-old associa tion with famine. The skeletal bodies of the dead littered its streets in 1992, when one-third of the town’s po pulation starved to death over three months as failed harvests combined with a raging civil war. At the peak of the famine, 15 children died every day.
A decadeslong cycle of international interventions in Somalia, including billions of dollars in humanitarian aid and military support, have
failed to stabilize the country. This year’s election of Hassan Sheikh Mohamud as president stoked new hopes that al-Shabab might be pushed back. But the militants re taliated Oct. 29 with their deadliest attack in five years — a twin car bomb explosion in Mogadishu that killed more than 100 people.
Baidoa, which the government recaptu red from al-Shabab in 2012, has become a lifeline for the starving and the fearful. The U.N. said 165,000 people flooded into the city between April 2021 and July 22, adding to an existing refugee population of about 430,000. Arrivals since July, as yet unveri fied, number in the tens of thousands, U.N. officials say.
Baidoa’s crumbling streets are a maze of barriers and blast walls that resembles wartime Baghdad or Kabul, Afghanistan. Aid workers travel in armored vehicles pro tected by armed guards.
Al-Shabab’s influence begins within a few miles of the city limits, so foreigners are discouraged from lingering at relief camps or feeding centers for longer than 45 minutes.
We arrived by air, because the roads are too dangerous, and were usually back in our hotel by 3 p.m., for security rea sons.
In the camps, new arrivals described harrowing journeys across desolate lands capes. Isaq Hassano, 75, enumerated his personal toll — first his son, who died in their village; then his son’s wife, who bled to death during childbirth on a 10day walk to Baidoa; then a newborn child, who died after they reached the camp; and finally Nimo, a 3-year-old girl who starved to death a few months ago.
That left Hassano caring for orphans, whom his wife supports by begging in Bai doa city, he said.
“We need something,” he told me, through a translator. “Make some efforts.”
Ukraine is a traditional and sexist society caught in a grueling artillery war with Russia, so the last person you’d expect to see in an army uniform is a grandma.
But Mariia Stalinska, 41, a bookkeeper whose first grandchild was born a year ago, enlisted in the army after Russia invaded her country in February.
“We need to defend our children,” she told me. “If not us, who?”
While registering for military service is compulsory for men, women can choose to volunteer. After the invasion, many did so, and almost 60,000 women are now in the Ukrainian armed forces, sometimes filling combat roles.
“I won’t be in an office somewhere,” said Liliia Fedorenko, 45, who signed up on the morning of the invasion. “I’ll be in the trenches, shooting, doing reconnaissance.”
“I’m a good shot,” she added.
The determination of Ukrainian women to fight Russians, or spy on them from behind enemy lines or raise money for the troops reflects an unflinching determination of Ukrainians, male and female alike, to sacrifice for their country. At a time when the United States is so divided, Ukraine feels the opposite: There is a passionate, uplifting, leveling unity here, and it’s one reason Vladimir Putin may be in trouble.
The Ukrainian government says that 151 female soldiers have been killed or are missing so far. About 350 have received awards such as “Hero of Ukraine.”
Today in the war in Ukraine, the sexism of Russian troops may have hurt them, because they did not always realize what women are capable of.
“They were not suspecting women,” said a female community leader in the Kharkiv region who defied and misled Russians when her area was occupied. She did not want her name used in case the Russians return.
The involvement of women is a reminder that half the human resources in any society are female, even if countries don’t always appreciate that. Harness the unfulfilled potential of half the population, and any nation will gain an edge.
The rush of female soldiers is so new that Ukraine’s military doesn’t even have standard uniforms for women, so women were stuck with ill-fitting uniforms designed for men. They protested that warriors come in all genders and that uniforms should be able to accommodate female hips and chests.
One of the early female volunteers, Anastasiia Kolesnyk, a 25-year-old marketer who signed up on the first day of the war along with her boyfriend, complained to family members, who found betterfitting uniforms for her and her friends.
Other women asked for them as well, and the family effort ballooned into a nonprofit, Zemliachky, that received a torrent of donations to buy uniforms, body armor, thermal underwear and other gear for female soldiers. It has a warehouse in Kyiv with clothing and equipment it is supplying free to women.
Attitudes toward the female soldiers seem to vary with commanders. “I heard, ‘You’re a woman, you need to make babies, go home,’” said Anastasia Blyshchyk, 26, who initially was rebuffed when she volunteered. Rather than sitting on a long waiting list to serve, like many other Ukrainians, she reached out to commanders and found one who said he could use her.
She now wears a uniform with an unofficial shoulder patch, right below the Ukrainian flag, reading: “ARM WOMEN NOW.”
While women can also serve in the Russian military and intelligence service, few women appear to be in Russia’s invading force in Ukraine.
Women also seem to have been very effective as spies behind enemy lines, using their phones to report on Russian troop locations and movements.
“I really wanted this area to be liberated,” said Albina Strelets, 33, explaining why she spied on Russian forces and transmitted information to the Ukrainian side. She was arrested and spoke to me above the jail and torture chamber where Russians detained her for 16 days in August.
Other prisoners were tortured, raped and killed, she said. She added that she bluntly told her interrogator, a Chechen, that she supported the Ukrainian side in the war, winning his grudging respect.
“You have balls of iron, more than most men,” he told her, by her account. She said she was not physically harmed.
Female spies aren’t new, of course. A relative of mine, Izabela Krzysztofowicz Jaruzelska, was a sworn member of the Polish resistance during World War II. She was involved in a Polish courier network that gathered intelligence on the Nazis, carried it through what is now Ukraine and transmitted it to the Polish government in exile in London, but she was caught, sent to Auschwitz and died there in 1943.
An open question is whether the heroism of so many women in this war will chip away at traditional sexist attitudes and create a more equal society afterward. Will Ukrainian men be more likely to treat their wives as equals? One indication of possible progress is that almost half of all new small businesses since the invasion were started by women.
“This will change the role of women in society,” said Alla Kuznietsova, who spied on the Russians during the occupation of Izium and reported regularly to the Ukrainian side.
“Not every woman will take a gun and fight, but we do everything possible to help the army,” said Kuznietsova, who recounted having survived brutal torture and rape at the hands of Russian interrogators. “I have two good female friends who were doing the same.”
“Of course this will change things.”
Alla Kuznietsova, a senior manager at the Izium gas bureau, in Izium, Ukraine on Nov. 7, 2022. Ukrainian women’s contribution to the fight against Russia “will change the role of women in society,” said Kuznietsova, who spied on the Russians during the occupation of Izium.

battle against them.
Netflix initially expected its charge to be led by “Bardo,” from Alejandro G. Iñár ritu, who won back-to-back best director Oscars for “Birdman” and “The Revenant.” But this navel-gazing, three-hour film about a Mexican director in crisis received high-profile pans during its debut at the Venice Film Festival, prompting Iñárritu to trim 22 minutes from his final cut. Though academy voters will probably relate to the film more than European critics did, that’s still a lot of baggage to overcome.
Two other Netflix movies have been more warmly received, but they face their own historical headwinds.
lease of “Emancipation,” directed by An toine Fuqua, until next year in order to let the controversy settle, but the streamer has decided to make a go of it anyway, mount ing an awkward press campaign in which Smith must spend more time apologizing for his Oscar slap than touting his new Os car contender.
By KYLE BUCHANANOne of the last firewalls in film fell earlier this year, when Apple TV+ became the first streaming service to win the best picture Oscar for its heart warmer “CODA.”
But next year, it’ll be an honor — and maybe even a long shot — for streamers just to be nominated.
Though Apple, Netflix and Amazon have become Oscar-season staples in just a few short years, regularly netting nomi nations in all the top categories, the new crop of contenders skews so heavily to ward theatrically released features that an unthinkable reversal could be in the off ing: It’s very possible that streamers won’t make this year’s best picture lineup at all.
In fact, the streamers’ most viable contenders come with so many caveats that they could be shut out of the top six categories — picture, director and the four acting races — almost entirely.
What are they up against? The field of best picture contenders is led by the multi verse-spanning hit “Everything Everywhere All at Once”; Steven Spielberg’s autobio graphical drama, “The Fabelmans”; the Irish feuding-friends dramedy “The Ban shees of Inisherin”; and the highbrow crit
ics’ favorite “Tár,” starring Cate Blanchett. But there’s plenty more where those films came from.
Some of the likely nominees serve spectacle, like Baz Luhrmann’s biopic, “El vis,” and the debauched old-Hollywood drama “Babylon,” while others boast bigbudget adventure, like “Top Gun: Maver ick,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “The Woman King” and the forthcoming “Avatar: The Way of Water.” There is also a passel of issue-driven movies to consider — namely Sarah Polley’s “Women Talk ing,” the #MeToo drama “She Said” and “Till,” starring Danielle Deadwyler as the mother of Emmett Till — as well as “The Whale,” “The Inspection” and “Living,” three small dramas featuring best actor candidates Brendan Fraser, Jeremy Pope and Bill Nighy, respectively. And don’t for get acclaimed international films like “De cision to Leave,” “Triangle of Sadness” and “Close.”
Those are the movies that will, in all likelihood, claim not just the 10 slots for best picture, but also fill out most of the nominations in the directing catego ry and all four acting races as well. It’s a long, eclectic list of theatrically released features, and this year, the streamers have only a handful of contenders to send into
The Daniel Craig-led “Glass On ion: A Knives Out Mystery” is a riotous crowd-pleaser, but few sequels have ever managed a best picture nomination, and even the first “Knives Out” couldn’t snag anything more than an original-screenplay nod. Though “Glass Onion” is one of sev eral sequels vying for Oscar attention this year, at least “Avatar: The Way of Water” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” will follow first installments that were nominated for best picture.
Another top contender for Netflix is Guillermo del Toro’s stop-motion musical “Pinocchio,” which the streamer hopes to push into best picture consideration on the back of glowing reviews. Academy mem bers clearly adore del Toro: They gave him the top Oscar for “The Shape of Water,” and even after last year’s “Nightmare Al ley” was branded a costly flop, they still found room for it in the best picture line up. Still, only three animated films have ever been nominated for best picture, and two decades after the academy introduced an Oscar category specifically to honor animated films, many voters appear to consider that laurel good enough.
Meanwhile, Apple is going from an Oscar winner that engendered good will to a contender whose Will is a major issue: The streamer will follow the affectionate “CODA” with the slavery drama “Emanci pation,” even though its star, Will Smith, was barred from attending the Oscars for the next decade after slapping Chris Rock during the March telecast. Many pundits assumed that Apple would delay the re
Should streaming films be complete ly shut out of the top six Oscar categories, many will call it a comeback for theatrical exhibition, and certainly, contenders like “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “El vis,” “Top Gun: Maverick” and “The Wom an King” have all been big hits. But even if theatrical movies dominate this year’s best picture field, that victory will come with some complications.
Smaller, less spectacle-driven con tenders have struggled to generate box of fice returns on par with pre-pandemic lev els: “The Fabelmans” has earned a weak $3.6 million so far, while “Tár” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” haven’t cleared the $10 million mark domestically after weeks of release. Just a few years ago, those kinds of films would have at least doubled their current grosses. But the older audiences they rely on simply haven’t returned to theaters with any consistency.
If that sector doesn’t radically im prove, specialty theaters will shutter, and the smaller dramas that need awards chat ter to lure moviegoers will face no path forward but to debut on a streamer. Any Oscar comeback, then, is likely to be short-lived: Next year, it will be a miracle if we get even half as many movies like these debuting in theaters.
And that’s a shame, not simply be cause it would spell the end of a filmgoing habit that has persisted for decades, but also because streamers simply can’t match the “you gotta go see this” buzz that a the atrical release can provide. Even the most acclaimed streaming films on Netflix and Apple TV+ struggle to generate a level of conversation comparable to the multisea son shows on their services, while movies like “Tár” and “The Fabelmans,” though they may struggle financially, are among the year’s most talked about, specifically because you have to go to a theater and devote your time to them.
Gabriel LaBelle in “The Fabelmans,” one of several theatrical releases this season that may dominate the Oscars.Singer, songwriter and keyboardist Christine McVie, who died Wednesday at 79, was the serene eye of the storm in Fleetwood Mac, one of rock history’s most tumultuous and beloved bands. She was also the glue that held the group together across drastically different eras, joining in 1970 shortly after the departure of its founding member, blues guitarist Peter Green, and anchoring the band in its more commercially successful second phase, after Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks came aboard.
Sonically, the edgy Buckingham turned out to be an enriching counterpoint to McVie’s soft-focused style, and their musical collaboration continued up until the end of her recording career, when they released a collaborative album in 2017. But behind the scenes, the deep bond be tween McVie and Nicks — a mutually supportive friend ship that flew in the face of then-prevalent stereotypes about women in music feeling competitive with other women — was also an integral part of what kept the band going. “We felt like, together, we were a force of nature,” Nicks said in a 2013 interview. “And we made a pact, probably in our first rehearsal, that we would never ac cept being treated as second-class citizens in the music business.”
McVie’s contralto voice had a pure, crystalline tone that gave her solo numbers, perhaps most indelibly the sparse “Rumours” centerpiece “Songbird,” a distinct emo tional power. But she clearly enjoyed writing for Buck ingham and Nicks, too, and made her mark penning the sorts of rollicking, harmony-driven singalongs that became some of the band’s biggest hits, like “Say You Love Me” and “Don’t Stop.” By the late ’70s, her keyboard play ing began to bring soft rock and even new age aesthetics into Fleetwood Mac, but her rhythmic technique always remained grounded in the blues, providing an enduring connection to the band’s earliest days.
Here are 12 of her best, and best remembered, songs.
Chicken Shack, ‘It’s Okay With Me Baby’ (1968)
Before she married bassist John McVie and joined his band Fleetwood Mac, Christine Perfect was the key boardist and singer in a British blues band called Chicken Shack. It had a minor hit in 1969 with a smoldering cover of the Etta James song “I’d Rather Go Blind,” but the band’s debut single, “It’s Okay With Me Baby,” is more interesting to McVie’s evolution as a songwriter. She wrote it herself and sang it with a low, bluesy swagger.
Fleetwood Mac, ‘Say You Love Me’ (1975)
The biggest hit from Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled 1975 album — and its first as the classic quintet of Christine and John McVie, Buckingham, Nicks and drummer Mick Fleet wood — was this cheery, midtempo track, destined to be come one of the band’s signature songs. Christine McVie’s electric piano certainly swings, but the sunny harmonies from Buckingham and Nicks are evidence of Fleetwood Mac’s new, pop-oriented direction.
Fleetwood Mac, ‘Over My Head’ (1975)
McVie’s songs often captured the blissful feeling of get ting carried away, even inundated, by romantic love. On this soft-rock classic, she recognizes the risks of falling for a mer curial partner (“Your mood is like a circus wheel, it changes all the time”) but ultimately cherishes the sensation of suc cumbing: “I’m over my head,” she sings in a husky croon, “but it sure feels nice.”
Fleetwood Mac, ‘You Make Loving Fun’ (1977)
The high-budget studio wizardry of Fleetwood Mac’s epochal “Rumours” is on full display here, particularly in the pristinely funky sound of McVie’s opening riff on the Hohner Clavinet. McVie wrote the song about her new flame, Fleet wood Mac lighting director Curry Grant, but according to Ken Caillat and Steve Stiefel’s book “Making Rumors,” McVie initially “told everyone the song was about her dog, instead of about Curry, to avoid flare-ups.”
Fleetwood Mac, ‘Songbird’ (1977)
As delicately elegant as a falling snowflake, this McVie piano ballad is Fleetwood Mac’s most enduring tear-jerker. It’s also, perhaps, the most brilliant moment of sequencing on “Rumours”: a restorative respite between sides and in the middle of some of the band’s most rousing rockers, “Go Your Own Way” and “The Chain.” “I think it was about nobody and everybody,” McVie said in an episode of the documen tary series “Classic Albums.” “In retrospect, it seemed to me more like a little anthem than anything else. It was for every body. It was like a little prayer almost.”
Fleetwood Mac, ‘Think About Me’ (1979)
Here’s McVie, as a songwriter, doing her best Lindsey Buckingham, rising to her bandmate’s challenge of bringing a punkier edge to the band’s sprawling 1979 double album “Tusk.” Buckingham and McVie always had special musical connection, and few Mac songs capture it better than this
one: Their vocals sound particularly simpatico on the chorus harmonies, and McVie’s hard-driving electric piano provides a fitting complement to Buckingham’s fiery riffs.
Fleetwood Mac, ‘Never Make Me Cry’ (1979)
And here’s McVie doing her best Christine McVie. An understated, underappreciated gem buried on the C side of “Tusk,” this tender heartstring-tugger places McVie’s angelic voice front and center, the faintest hints of guitar and key boards forming little more than an ethereal mist in the back ground.
Fleetwood Mac, ‘Only Over You’ (1982)
Speaking of underappreciated gems, this soulful McVie tune is a highlight of the band’s 1982 album, “Mirage,” with all due respect to the bouncy, irresistibly fun “Hold Me,” which McVie co-wrote with singer-songwriter Robbie Patton.
Christine McVie, ‘Got a Hold on Me’ (1984)
McVie only released three solo albums: the bluesy “Christine Perfect” (1970), the low-key “In the Meantime” (2004) and, most memorably, a self-titled release in 1984, when the other members of the band were focusing on their solo careers. “Got a Hold on Me” sounds, in the best way, like it could have easily appeared on any ’80s Fleetwood Mac album — it even has Buckingham on lead guitar.
Fleetwood Mac, ‘Everywhere’ (1987)
A modern classic that’s still everywhere — including on a certain ubiquitous car commercial circa fall 2022 — this sparkling smash from the band’s late-’80s return “Tango in the Night” remains one of Fleetwood Mac’s high watermarks. “I wanna be with you everywhere,” McVie sings on that in fectious chorus, as succinct an encapsulation of falling in love as pop music can manage, as the sleek, glimmering pro duction perfectly mirrors the butterflies she’s singing about.
Fleetwood Mac, ‘Don’t Stop’ (1997)
When McVie first wrote the anthemic “Don’t Stop,” she was trying to create a song that would cheer up her ex-husband, and also hoping that Fleetwood Mac would survive the making of “Rumours.” Twenty years later, when the band reunited for the live LP “The Dance,” the song had not only helped “Rumours” become one of the bestselling albums in history, but it had also been the campaign song of the then-current president. This celebratory finale from “The Dance” — featuring an entire marching band! — turned out to be, in retrospect, a bittersweet snapshot: “The Dance” would be the final Fleetwood Mac album to feature McVie. The following year, she left the band to live a quieter life off the road for nearly two decades; she returned for a tour in 2014.
Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie, ‘Feel About You’ (2017)
McVie’s final album was, fittingly, a reunion with her former bandmate, and an effortless-sounding display of their particular musical chemistry. Like much of “Lindsey Bucking ham Christine McVie,” the doo-wop-esque “Feel About You” has a buoyant, playful spirit. After a long silence, it was a welcome return for McVie, and proof that the songbird was still drawing inspiration from places old and new.
Christine McVie in 1969. The following year, she joi ned Fleetwood Mac.When it opened in the Eixample in 2006, Gresca was a narrow strip of a restaurant showcasing what was then the latest trend in Barcelona dining: bistronomia, a style of cooking that combined creative ambition with a casual at mosphere (and lower prices). Since then, both the space and the ambition have expanded. Chef Rafael Peña brings depth to an array of sharing plates in this upscale tapas bar, from the thin coins of mackerel marinated in soy and citrus to the glazed eel atop pickled onions and buttery brioche (dinner for two around 100 euros).
1 a.m. | Sip a spicy drink
Especiarium, one of the newest cocktail bars to open in the Born quarter, is spread across two floors, but man ages to maintain an atmosphere at once intimate and lightly louche. Its concoctions — all spice-focused — are based on housemade syrups and ferments and served in witty ves sels, like the Japanese gin-and-matcha blend that comes in a mug shaped like an origami bird, or the dangerously drinkable Tajin, which combines rum, sherry, a date shrub and the Moroccan spice mix ras el hanout. Cocktails are 10 to 14 euros.
Saturday
8 a.m. | Have an early breakfast
By LISA ABENDIn the 30 years since the Olympics turned Barcelona into a tourist magnet, the pull of the city’s architecture and food culture has only grown stronger. So much so that the Catalan capital has become a key battleground in Eu rope’s fight against overtourism. Not all initiatives to lessen the crowds have triumphed: A moratorium on hotel con struction survived only a couple of years. But in other areas, the balance has shifted in favor of locals: tighter restrictions regulate Airbnb rentals and the size of groups allowed to visit the Boqueria market. Bike lanes now crisscross the city, and the restored Sant Antoni market is again bustling with fishmongers and butchers. Most strikingly, Barcelona’s “su perblock” initiative has turned chunks of the city into carfree, pedestrian playgrounds.
3 p.m. | Have a late lunch
The best thing about arriving in Spain in midafternoon is that you land right in the middle of the Spanish lunch hour. Mantequerías Pirenaicas, in the Sant Gervasi neigh borhood, is an unassuming spot, where the old-school serv ers still wear white jackets and the tiny kitchen treats the highest quality ingredients — a single artichoke, its leaves perfectly charred, its heart holding a lightly poached quail’s egg, for instance, or a crisp-edged rice savory with sausage and duck — with delicate creativity. The restaurant is popu lar with locals; most of them know that if they hope to try the potato omelet — reputedly, the city’s best — they have to call by noon to reserve a slice (lunch for two around 70
euros, or about $69.50).
6 p.m. | Immerse in Gaudí
With its undulating exterior, Casa Milà — better known as La Pedrera — is one of the city’s most iconic struc tures. Located in the Eixample district, it also offers a crash course in the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí’s astonishing design, from the botanically inspired elements he adored to the ingenious physics at play in his work. Recently, the educational aspect was boosted by the addition of a virtual reality tour that allows visitors outfitted with headsets to in teract with some of Gaudí’s signature design elements as they roam through a suite of rooms (entrance with virtual reality exhibition, 35 euros).
10 p.m. | Share your dinner
Early risers — or those just winding up the night — can squeeze onto stools at the Boqueria market for a Barce lona ritual: breakfast at Pinotxo. For the breakfast conserva tives, there’s coffee and xuixo, the Catalan fried pastry filled with cream. Others may opt for tiny squid with white beans, perhaps some fortifying tripe and a glass of sparkling cava. By the time you’ve finished, the first shoppers will be mak ing their way to the market for the busiest shopping day of the week (breakfast for two, 8 to 30 euros).
10 a.m. | Shop with style
Wedged between the Barri Gotic and the Barceloneta neighborhoods, the Born was, in the Middle Ages, home to the city’s craft workers. There are hints of that artisanal history in the shops that fill its narrow streets. At Madre, Manuel Dreesmann makes bags, laptop sleeves and oth er locally tanned leather accessories. The designer David Valls crafts women’s garments that manage to be both flowy and modern at once. Après Ski sells whimsical jewelry and fetching jackets made from old tablecloths. Chandal offers an eclectic mix of cunning housewares, artsy magazines and an analog photography section. And El Rei de la Màgia, its treasure chest shelves filled with card tricks and wands, is one of the oldest magic stores in the world.
2 p.m. | Splurge on seafood
Some of the best seafood in the city emerges from Rafa Zafra’s hands. Uptown, the chef recently opened the posh Amar in El Palace hotel to rave reviews. But his first Barcelona restaurant, the dark and tightly packed Estimar in the Born, makes a homier place to sample his extraordinary way with fins and shells. Start with grilled razor clams in a puckery escabeche, don’t miss the crisp chipirones (baby squid) served with dots of ink-flavored aioli, and if you’re wondering if the Palamós shrimp, simply grilled on the plancha, are worth the euros, the answer is a resounding yes (120 euros for two).
4 p.m. | Revel in art
The most thrilling gallery in the Picasso Museum con tains the cubist artist’s riffs on the baroque painter Diego
Velázquez’s revered work, “Las Meninas.” Next door, the newly opened Moco Museum ventures into the present day. What it lacks in depth, the privately owned (if unfortunately named — moco means snot in Spanish) museum makes up for in name recognition with works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Yayoi Kusama, Damien Hirst, KAWS and Banksy. And in case that’s not crowd-pleasing enough, the museum throws in a cocktail with tickets after 6 p.m. (14 to 17.50 euros).
6:30 p.m. | Taste the avant-garde
Most of the restaurants founded by Albert Adrià, for merly of elBulli, the groundbreaking restaurant 90 minutes north of the city that closed in 2011, did not survive the pandemic. But Enigma, his flagship creation in Poble Sec, has not merely survived but been reborn. Here, amid icily eerie décor, both the hours (Enigma opens at the thoroughly un-Spanish dinner hour of 6.30 p.m.) and the menu itself, with highlights like an impossibly light “air” waffle flavored with basil, and a chervil-slicked mushroom carpaccio that recreates an elBulli classic, allows for early evening grazing — although most diners have a hard time pulling themselves away with anything less than the full gastronomic experi ence. Most of the individual dishes range from 7 to 20 euros.
10 p.m. | Save room for dinner
Reward yourself for saving room with a stellar example of modern Catalan cooking at Suculent in the Raval district. The chef Antonio Romero also once worked at elBulli, and its influences occasionally show up in unexpected textures, like the orange gelée that adds a jolt of brightness to a dish of fresh anchovies and olives. But other inspirations, like a grilled maitake mushroom set afloat in a pool of pine-nut sauce or the soulful meatballs with cauliflower purée, are all his own (dinner for two, about 150 euros).
1 a.m. | Dance the night away
Les Enfants Brillants in the Raval is one of the city’s newest clubs, and with space for just 400 people, its redlit main room (there’s a green cocktail bar as well) is much more intimate than its famous neighbor, Moog. Billing itself as a “high fidelity dance club,” it’s already making a name for itself among Barcelona’s electronica cognoscenti for its state-of-the-art sound system, its emphasis on vinyl and its impressive lineup of DJs (entrance, from 5 euros).
Sunday
9 a.m. | Go to church
Every Sunday morning, Mass is held in English at the Basilica de la Sagrada Família in the Eixample. It’s first come first served, and the place fills up; but admission is free, and it offers the chance to experience Gaudí’s basilica as the deeply religious architect intended it: as a place of soaring spiritual rejuvenation. But even the secular will find themselves moved by the 360-degree views — up to the mountains and down to the sea — from the towers. As the famously unfinished church nears completion, it has opened the star-capped Virgin Mary tower (this part requires a ticket, 36 euros without a guide).
During the pandemic, the restoration of the old Sant Antoni market was finally finished, turning it into a sparkling temple to luscious ingredients. The food stalls are closed on Sundays, but the gorgeous exterior is host to a weekly book market with vendors selling both rare and new volumes in a variety of languages (though Catalan dominates). From there, it’s a short walk to Parlament Street, where you can experience Barcelona’s latest experiment in urban design.
As one of the city’s new “superblocks,” most of the street, dotted with convivial cafes, is now a pedestrian zone, com plete with ample outdoor seating where you can watch the world go by.

Colorful and meatless, sweet and fi ery, this sheet-pan dinner is an exuberant combination of cold-weather vegetables and warming spices that will perk up any weeknight. Although the recipe takes about an hour from start to finish most of it is hands-off, and the actual prep time is rela tively short. If you don’t have hot honey, you can substitute regular honey and a pinch of cayenne. And try to use canned chickpeas prepared with sea salt; the unsalted kind are bland. —

2. Place the squash on the parchment paper-lined pan and toss with 1 teaspoon baharat, 1/2 teaspoon salt, thyme sprigs, redpepper flakes and 2 tablespoons oil. Spread squash into an even layer and roast for 20 minutes.
3. After 20 minutes of roasting, in a medium bowl, combine chickpeas, red on ion, remaining 3/4 teaspoon baharat, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil, and toss until well combined. Add the mixture to the pan of squash and stir everything well. Con tinue roasting for another 30 minutes, toss ing the mixture halfway through, until the squash is golden brown and tender, and the chickpeas and onions are slightly crispy.
4. Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle vinegar and herbs on top and toss. Drizzle with hot honey and toss again to combine. Taste and season with more salt, more hot honey and vinegar to taste. Serve with dollops of yogurt if you’d like.
By MELISSA CLARKIhave a little problem when it comes to roasted winter squash. When I take a pan out of the oven, those soft orange cubes caramelized and glistening, I can’t stop myself from gobbling piece after piece until the batch is decimated and my dinner derailed.
A similar thing happens with spiced, roasted chickpeas, with their oily, brittle skins that get ever-so-slightly crunchy. By the time I’m ready to slide them into the big bowl I set out to catch them, I’ve eaten so many that a tiny bowl would be better suited.
It doesn’t matter how many pounds of squash or how many cans of chickpeas I start with. Unless I muster every ounce of willpower, there’s never enough to share.
So you can understand how serv ing this sheet-pan meal of spiced, roasted squash and chickpeas to my family was an exceptional feat of discipline.
Happily, that is the only hard part about making this dish.
The prep work is a breeze. Honey nut and butternut squashes are so easy to peel; just slip a vegetable peeler over the skin, and it will slide off in pale wide ribbons.
The flesh is soft enough to cube up without resorting to the kind of heavy-duty cleaver you’d take to a leathery kabocha.
Of course, you can also use precubed squash. However, it’s rare to find precubed honey nut squash in supermarkets, where butternut is the rule. But honey nut will be well worth the trouble — sweeter and more velvety — if you can find it and don’t mind cutting it up.
(Another bonus to preparing your own squash: being able to roast the seeds, which I like even better than roasted pumpkin seeds.)
While the squash gets a head start in the oven, you can dry out the chickpeas to encourage crisping. Give them a rinse, pat them dry, then spread them out on a dish towel for 20 to 30 minutes. It makes a big difference. But try to use chickpeas that have been prepared with salt, since the no-saltadded brands are often very bland.
Topping the squash and chickpeas with a drizzle of hot honey and a dollop of yogurt pulls the dish together, and a handful of fresh herbs makes it pretty and fresh.
Now the hard part: Serve it quickly before your willpower falters — and while there’s still plenty of roasted squash and chickpeas to go around.
2 (14.5-ounce) cans chickpeas (preferably not “no salt added”), drained and rinsed
2 1/2 pounds honey nut or butternut squash, peeled, trimmed, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes (6 cups)
1 3/4 teaspoons baharat, garam masala or another spice blend
1 1/4 teaspoons fine salt, plus more as need ed
5 thyme sprigs
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon cider vinegar or rice wine vin egar, plus more as needed
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves or dill sprigs, or a combination
1 to 2 tablespoons hot honey, plus more to taste
Plain whole-milk yogurt or sour cream, for serving (optional)
Preparation:
1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line one sheet pan with parchment paper and a sec ond sheet pan with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Place drained chickpeas on the towel-lined sheet pan and gently rub them dry. Place the pan on the back of the stove and let the chickpeas dry as you pre
Avoid chickpeas labeled “no salt added” in this recipe, they can often be quite bland.
Honey nut and butternut squash are simpler to prepare than other squashes like kabocha.
Crunchy spiced chickpeas complement roasted cubes of squash in this sheetpan meal.
The Biden administration said late last week that it did not expect to extend its declaration of a public health emergency for the outbreak of mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, past its scheduled expiration at the end of January, a signal that the disease no longer constitutes a crisis-level threat in the United States.
Xavier Becerra, the health and human services secretary, cited the low number of new virus cases as he announced the administration’s plans.
“We won’t take our foot off the gas — we will continue to monitor the case trends closely and encourage all at-risk individuals to get a free vaccine,” Becerra said in a statement.
While the disease has not been eradicated in the United States, the announcement Friday served as an acknowledgment that the virus had been mostly suppressed. The Department of Health and Human Services said the administration was working toward “a durable end of mpox transmission.”
Since the country’s first case in this year’s outbreak was identified in May, nearly 30,000 cases and 19 deaths have been tallied in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the nation is now averaging fewer than 10 cases per day — a steep decline from the roughly 450 daily cases at the peak of the outbreak in early August.
Public health experts have attributed that trend to a number of factors, including higher vaccination rates, adjustments in behavior among people at high risk of acquiring the disease and the relative difficulty of contracting the virus, which is spread through close contact. The disease has spread primarily among men who have sex with men.
On Friday, administration officials credited the improved course of the outbreak in part to the White House’s mpox response coordinator, Robert Fenton, a longtime federal emergency response official, and his deputy, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, an infectious disease expert. Among other actions, their team conducted targeted outreach to at-risk communities, including at Pride events.
Becerra declared the public health emergency in August. At the time, the federal government was scrambling to catch up to a widening outbreak caused in part by the administration’s own sluggish reaction to the early weeks of the virus’s spread in the United States. Supplies of vaccines and tests were initially constrained, and federal scientists struggled to procure data on mpox.
Gay rights activists critical of the administration had been demanding an emergency declaration for weeks before the August announcement.
The declaration allowed HHS to mount a more ag-
gressive and well-funded response. Most critically, public health experts said, it allowed for data-sharing agreements among state health departments, health providers and federal agencies, enabling the CDC to better track cases and vaccination rates.
In addition, the declaration freed up federal emergency funds for the response and eased the delivery of vaccines, said Lawrence Gostin, a health law expert at Georgetown University who has advised the administration on mpox.
Jen Kates, the director of global health and HIV policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, said the declaration also brought much-needed awareness to the outbreak.
“There’s a symbolic aspect to it,” she said. “It draws attention to it and says: This is at a serious level that deserves a national response.”
HHS said Friday that the decision to let the declaration expire next year “assumes that the trajectory of the outbreak continues downward over the next two months.” But the department added that if conditions worsened, it could adjust its plans.
The shape of the federal response to mpox is unlikely to change substantially as a result of the announcement Friday, administration officials said. After
the end of the public health emergency, vaccines, tests and treatments will still be available, HHS said. The team led by Fenton and Daskalakis is expected to remain in place for now, one official said.
With the spread of mpox having slowed, public health experts said it was important for the administration to acknowledge the less dire state of the outbreak.
“So as not to dilute the value of emergencies, they have to be temporary by nature,” Gostin said, adding: “You shouldn’t have a semi-permanent state of emergency. You should recognize when it’s time to wind down.”
Still, he warned that the end of the emergency declaration still risked communicating to at-risk Americans that they did not have to be as vigilant, heightening the chances that the disease would spread more easily.
This week, the World Health Organization recommended that the disease be renamed mpox. Critics said that the former name promoted stigmas and conjured racist tropes and Western stereotypes. U.S. health agencies quickly adopted the new name.
A separate declaration of a public health emergency remains in effect for the coronavirus pandemic. It was last extended in October, and HHS plans to extend it again in January.

CARABALLO GAR CÍA, SECRETARIA REGIO NAL. KEILENE RODRÍGUEZ MELÉNDEZ, SECRETARIA AUXILIAR DEL TRIBUNAL I.
By JAMES WAGNER
In the nearly 100 years of the World Cup, only two countries have won titles back to back. Italy did it in 1934 and 1938, before the tournament was a truly global affair. And Brazil, powered by a young Pelé, accomplished the feat in 1958 and 1962.
With a 3-1 win at Al Thumama Sta dium in Doha, Qatar on Sunday, France kept its hopes alive of becoming just the third country to retain its crown. France wasn’t particularly sharp to start, but a goal by Olivier Giroud and two from Kylian Mbappé showed off the talent and depth that dispatched a plucky Pol ish team, clinched a place in the quar terfinals and suggested France might not stop there.
France will face England, a 3-0 win ner over Senegal later on Sunday, in its next game. The road will only get tough er from here: Spain or Portugal are the likely opponents after that, and Argen tina, the Netherlands, Brazil and Croatia lurk on the other side of the bracket.
The victory brought milestones for two of France’s best players. With his goal in the 44th minute, the 52nd of his national team career, Giroud passed Thierry Henry as the leading scorer in France’s history. As Poland began tiring in the second half, Mbappé, 23, blazed a shot into the left corner for a 2-0 France lead in the 74th minute. It was his eighth career goal in the World Cup, passing Pelé for most in the tournament before the age of 24. Mbappé didn’t stop there, though; he added a third French goal in the first minute of stoppage time, his World Cup-leading fifth.
Star striker Robert Lewandowski
converted a penalty kick for Poland on the final kick of the match, but it was a mere consolation prize. France was well through by then, and already looking forward.
It was the sort of result that was ex pected from France, which was, on pa per, better than Poland in many ways. Even with a slew of injuries to key players — such as the world player of the year Karim Benzema, defender Lucas Her nandez and midfielders N’Golo Kanté and Paul Pogba — France remained one of the title favorites. It had little trouble in the group stage, losing its final game to Tunisia after it had already earned a spot in the knockout stage.
Poland, on the other hand, expend ed a lot of energy to get this far. After beating Saudi Arabia and tying Mexico, it narrowly advanced to the round of 16 after los ing 2-0 to Argentina in its final game of group play. Struggling to score all tournament despite hav ing Lewandowski, Poland had just two goals enter ing Sunday. Its strength was a defense anchored by Wojciech Szczesny, who had been arguably
the best goalkeeper at this World Cup.
Poland’s coach Czeslaw Michnie wicz bristled at criticism that his team was too conservative and too defensive in its approach, saying entering the game against France: “The ones that weren’t playing defensively at the World Cup are back home watching on TV. Now we’re out of the group phase, so we will change our plans.”
In an evenly matched first half, Po land surprised France with better pos session and a more aggressive attack than it had featured in previous games. It helped that France wasn’t particularly strong on defense to start, failing to clear balls and giving Poland second chances.
The sides traded moments of pres sure and missed opportunities. In the 21st minute, Lewandowski fired a longrange missile to the right of the goal, just his eighth shot of the tournament. In the 29th minute, French forward Ousmane Dembélé fed a cross in the penalty area to a darting Giroud, who knocked the ball wide of the left post. Watching from the sideline, Deschamps turned away in disgust.
Soon after France tried to seize con trol of the game with threatening ex changes, Poland fired three successive shots in the 38th minute. French goal
keeper Hugo Lloris turned away the first from Piotr Zielinski, and then got some help from defenders Theo Hernandez and Raphael Varane on the following shots.
But finally, France broke away when Giroud received a pass from Mbappé near the end of the second half and fired a left-footed shot across his body past a diving Szczesny. To celebrate, Giroud raced over to the corner of the field, slid onto his knees and pointed to the sky with both arms.
Then in the second half, Mbappé took over the game as weary Polish de fenders struggled to keep up with him. In the 74th minute, he and Dembélé raced down the field after a Polish turn over, with Dembélé feeding a long cross to Mbappé. Unmarked on the left side near the penalty box, Mbappé paused, collected himself and drilled a shot past Szczesny for a 2-0 lead. Mbappé then waved his arms up and down to the crowd as if to signal for more noise.
Even with a comfortable lead, Mbappé kept attacking. Soon after stop page time began, he fired a shot from the edge of the penalty area into the top right corner for France’s third goal.
It was plenty of cushion to withstand a goal by Lewandowski on a penalty kick in the ninth minute of stoppage time. In the end, Poland was but a minor hurdle for France, which had its sights set on another deep run in the World Cup.
When a club drafts a pitcher who goes on to be nick named “The Franchise,” leads it to a shocking World Series title and is elected to the Hall of Fame on his first try with 98.8% of the vote, there is not much debate as to who is the best starter in team history.
For the New York Mets, it is Tom Seaver and then everyone else.
But after Jacob deGrom, another homegrown Mets ace, shocked the base ball world by signing a five-year, $185 million contract with the Texas Rangers on Friday, it is worth asking: Did he do enough to be called the Mets’ secondgreatest pitcher?
The accolades for deGrom were nu merous. He was the National League’s rookie of the year in 2014, won the league’s Cy Young Award in 2018 and 2019, was an All-Star four times, led the league in strikeouts twice and, in 2021, was challenging for the most dominant season of the integrated era (1947 to present), with a 1.08 ERA in 15 starts, when arm injuries forced him to be shut down.
But is that enough to say he was bet ter than Dwight Gooden? Or more im portant to the team than Jerry Koosman?
The question, of course, is entirely subjective. But breaking down where Mets starters fall in various categories is a fun way to consider value for a team that has seen top pitchers at the start of their careers (Nolan Ryan, David Cone, Zack Wheeler) and at the end (Pedro Martínez, Tom Glavine, Johan Santana) but has had very few stick around long enough to have the lasting image of them be in the Mets’ blue and orange uniforms.
Seaver’s performance in 1969 would make a fine pick for the best single sea son in club history. He went 25-7, had a 2.21 ERA, was an All-Star, won the Cy Young Award, finished second in voting for the NL’s MVP and led the team to a World Series title.
Statistically, however, you could make an argument that it wasn’t Seaver’s best year, let alone the best one by a
Mets starter.
Seaver’s 7.2 wins above replacement in 1969 are tied with deGrom’s 2019 WAR for the seventh-best in team his tory, according to Baseball Reference’s formula. Seaver was more dominant, when factoring in league, ballpark and teammates, in 1975 (7.8), 1971 (10.2) and 1973 (10.6), his best year.
DeGrom’s best season by WAR came in 2018, when he had 9.5 (and a 1.70 ERA), and the team’s Top 10 list also includes Jon Matlack in 1974 (9.1), San tana in 2008 (7.1) and Martínez in 2005 (7.0).
But all of those terrific performances trail Gooden’s outrageous 1985 season. Only 20 at the time, Gooden went 24-4 with a 1.53 ERA. He led the league in innings and strikeouts, was unanimously named the NL’s Cy Young winner and had an eye-popping 12.2 WAR, which is the highest mark of the integrated era and is the fourth best by a pitcher since 1901, trailing only Walter Johnson (twice) and Cy Young.
DeGrom’s most dominant perfor mance came on April 23, 2021, when he threw a two-hit shutout with 15 strike outs against the Washington Nationals, a team that went on to win the World Se ries that season. Using the statistic game
score, which rewards innings and strike outs while taking points away for hits, runs, home runs and walks, he recorded a career-best mark of 98, which is the fourth highest in Mets history.
The team’s third-best game score went to Cone, who received a 99 for a three-hit shutout of the Philadelphia Phil lies on Oct. 6, 1991, in which he struck out 19 batters.
Second-best went to Seaver, who had a 106 against the Los Angeles Dodg ers on May 1, 1974, for a performance in which he allowed one run, three hits and two walks in 12 innings but received a no-decision when the Mets lost in 14 innings.
The top mark, shockingly, belongs to Rob Gardner, a somewhat forget table left-hander who was making the fifth appearance of his career on Oct. 2, 1965, when he threw 15 shutout in nings against the Phillies. In the wild performance, Gardner allowed five hits and two walks while striking out seven. Thanks largely to the high number of in nings, Gardner got a game score of 112 — tied for the fifth-best mark of the inte grated era — but it wasn’t enough to get a win: The game, in which Philadelphia’s Chris Short also threw 15 scoreless in nings, was called a 0-0 tie after 18 in nings because of a Saturday night curfew
in the second game of a doubleheader.
When Gardner was interviewed about the game by Hannah Keyser for Yahoo in 2020, he was notably humble.
“I have to point this out, the guy that pitched against me pitched equally if not better than I did,” Gardner said. “He just didn’t live long enough to be interviewed about it.”
(Santana threw the franchise’s only solo no-hitter, on June 1, 2012, but with eight strikeouts and five walks, he had a game score of 90, which is tied for the 49th-best start in franchise history.)
Seaver, to no one’s surprise, has the most WAR in franchise history, with 76. He also leads the team in wins, innings, strikeouts, shutouts and numerous other categories. Only three other pitchers got even half as many WAR for the Mets as Seaver.
In fourth place on the team’s career list is Koosman, who had 39.4 WAR over 12 seasons, going 140-137 with a 3.09 ERA and 1,799 strikeouts. He was a key member of the 1969 title team, and his No. 36 jersey was retired by the Mets in 2021.
In third place is deGrom, who had 41.1 over nine seasons. A lack of run sup port gave him a record of 82-57, but his 2.52 ERA is the third-best career mark of the expansion era. He started one game for the team in the World Series, in his second season, and never got a chance to make up for a mediocre outing in a Game 2 loss to the Kansas City Royals.
In second place, narrowly hold ing off a challenge from deGrom, is Gooden.
A first-round pick by the team in 1982, he pitched 11 seasons for the Mets, going 157-85 with a 3.10 ERA and 1,875 strikeouts. He never quite lived up to the promise of his first three seasons, but he won a World Series, a rookie of the year award and a Cy Young Award, and his 41.6 WAR will continue to trail only Seaver now that deGrom has left the team.
Gooden should be safe in that spot for a while. The franchise’s WAR leader among pitchers currently under contract is Max Scherzer, who had 5.2 in his first year with the team.
Conference championship weekend was an op portunity for the College Football Playoff selec tion committee, sequestered in front of a bank of televisions in a hotel in Grapevine, Texas, to size up national championship contenders.
Georgia looked the part of a favorite, mostly. Mich igan looked the part of challenger, mainly. Texas Chris tian looked flawed but game. USC looked saddled with a Utah problem (and another Lincoln Riley defense).
But Alabama, a fixture on this weekend, was no where to be found. (Neither for that matter was Ohio State or Tennessee or any mea culpas from Clemson’s Dabo Swinney about his quarterback choice this sea son.) Bryce Young was not flinging passes all over the field, Will Anderson Jr. was not terrorizing an opposing quarterback and Kool-Aid McKinstry was not zigzag ging his way upfield on punt returns.
That does not mean the Crimson Tide were not heard from.
In fact, Alabama coach Nick Saban was every where Saturday. There he was on ESPN, then on Fox at halftime of the Big Ten championship game. CBS seemed to have been handed his talking points — all making the case that Alabama, with two losses and no quality wins, should be included in this season’s playoff because:
— Alabama won its final three games. (So did Washington and Tulane.)
— Alabama didn’t get blown out late in the season. (Neither did Utah or Kansas State, which each won its conference, to boot.)
— Alabama played five games on the road. (And lost two of them.)
— Alabama’s losses came with Young, its quarter back, playing hurt. (Ohio State’s loss came without its best receiver and running back.)
— Alabama would be the oddsmakers’ pick. (And also the choice of television executives, the SEC com missioner, Alabama elected officials and 9 out of every 10 callers into the Paul Finebaum radio show.)
Ultimately, though, the committee looked at Ala bama and saw a team that was as flawed as Saban’s arguments, leaving the two-loss Crimson Tide on the sideline for only the second time in the nine seasons under the four-team playoff format.
As expected, Georgia retained the top spot Sunday after dispatching Louisiana State on Saturday. Geor gia will play Ohio State in the Peach Bowl. Michigan, which remained unbeaten with a win over Purdue on Saturday night, will play TCU, which suffered its only loss Saturday in overtime against Kansas State, in the Fiesta Bowl. Both semifinal games are scheduled for Dec. 31.
The winners will play for the championship Jan. 9
in Inglewood, California.
TCU, where slights are not forgotten, did little to hide its anxiety after Saturday’s loss. Coach Sonny Dykes feared getting into a beauty pageant with the blue bloods, like Ohio State and Alabama. The Horned Frogs were leapfrogged by Ohio State in 2014 for the final spot when the Buckeyes demolished Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game and the Big 12 did not have a championship game.
“My hope is we’re going to get into the tournament and get a chance to compete for a national champion ship,” Dykes said late Saturday afternoon. “We wanted to do it ourselves today. We didn’t want to have any body make that decision.”
Ultimately, the way TCU fought back in the fourth quarter, and came within inches of taking the lead in overtime, meant the Horned Frogs’ place in the field was never in doubt, according to the playoff commit tee’s chair, Boo Corrigan.
As for the final spot, Corrigan said it largely came down to Ohio State having one fewer loss and bigger wins — its wins over Penn State and Notre Dame were perceived as better than Alabama’s victories over Texas and Mississippi State.
Saban, though he would not name a team that he thought his team should leap, seemed to point less at the Horned Frogs than at Ohio State.
It’s hard to know if Saban was really speaking to the committee — or just trying to mollify his fan base, which might be justifiably grumpy that a team that nearly won a second consecutive championship last season in a rebuilding year could not even get out of the SEC West with a Heisman Trophy-winning quarter
back and a star-studded defense.
One point that Saban made does carry some his torical weight: A blowout loss late in the season often is a harbinger of what lies ahead. An exception may have come last year when No. 1 Georgia was beaten handily by Alabama in the SEC championship game, 41-24, but got into the playoff as the No. 3 team, bulldozed Michi gan in a semifinal and avenged the defeat to Alabama in the title game.
But in the 2020 pandemic season, Notre Dame was blown out by Clemson in the ACC championship game and was no match for Alabama in a semifinal.
In 2003, Oklahoma was throttled by Kansas State in the Big 12 championship game, 35-7, and was given a berth in the Bowl Championship Series title game, which it lost to LSU in a defensive struggle. That season, USC, whose only defeat was in overtime at Cal and its then-unheralded quarterback Aaron Rodgers, was left out. When the Trojans convincingly beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl, they were awarded the writers’ vote by finishing atop The Associated Press poll.
And in 2001, Nebraska was clobbered by Colo rado, 62-36, in its regular-season finale but was given a berth in the title game, where it was no match for Miami. Even though one-loss Oregon was second in all three polls, it was left out because it suffered in the computer rankings that were a component of the BCS.
This does not augur well for Ohio State, which was routed at home against its rival Michigan two weeks ago, surrendering 252 yards rushing in a 45-23 loss.
But somebody has to play the defending champion, Georgia, in what is close to a home game in Atlanta, and so the committee decided the Buckeyes would.

You may have escapist tendencies, which could find you doing anything except see to your responsibilities. This is one of those days when you might prefer to overindulge, if it leaves you feeling better. As long as you won’t regret it later, why not? Put your work aside, and opt to enjoy those things that you don’t usually have time for, Aries. After all, tomorrow is another day!
Questioning your values? You may wonder if you’re sending out the right signals, especially in connection with groups or social media. With hazy aspects on the go, this is very much a time to stand up for what you believe in. By clearly sharing your beliefs and opinions, you’ll enable others to do the same, which is healthier than saying nothing for fear of getting it wrong, Taurus.
Want to project a positive image that will endear you to bosses, clients or other authority figures? With Venus angling towards Neptune, you may try to be all things to all people. This aspect might see you changing your personality to fit in with whoever you’re talking to. Want a job or to secure an opportunity? It’s better to be yourself rather than try too hard to impress, Gemini.
You could take up a new belief almost every day under the current star map, but it might not help you resolve anything or give you that sense of direction you’re searching for. There seem to be too many blurred lines and unanswered questions that won’t be helpful if you’re looking for a new direction. In a few days, you’ll have a better idea of what you want and where you’re going.
A potent blend of energies suggests you’re keen to move in new circles. This is all to the good Leo, as in the process you’ll make new friends. But with a misty angle also showing up, assessing one key connection more objectively may help you see it in perspective. Feel awkward around this person? Don’t dismiss any intuitive nudges, as they can be trying to tell you something.
If you don’t feel on top of your game, then don’t worry, Virgo. A Venus/Neptune face-off suggests this isn’t the best time to handle those matters where you need to be confident and sure of yourself. Lines are blurred, and you might find it hard to know what’s best for you. In a few days things will be crystal clear. For now, art and creativity can be a good way to unwind.
You may have plenty that you want to explore, but never seem to have time. When you do, you might not feel like it. With Venus forging an awkward tie to Neptune, you could notice this more strongly than usual, making you want to do something about it. Feel you have wasted a lot of opportunities recently? Perhaps an inability to say no to others’ demands can be a part of this.
Have eyes for someone? They may not be all that they seem. Your perception could be distorted, and you’ll believe them to be everything you’re looking for. You can be magnetically drawn to them, unless you’re more discerning. The Moon/Pluto angle encourages you not to ignore your sixth sense and its messages. You might still end up as friends, but at least you won’t be fooled.
Is someone playing games with you? It can certainly seem like it, Archer. And a confusing blend of energies might make it hard to know what to do. You could ignore this and carry on regardless, but the situation may get more complicated if you leave it. If you get straight to the point, their façade will be exposed. Once you know the truth, let it go and enjoy your day.
If you’ve been a tad anxious, the last thing you’ll want is to get into a confrontation. You might also be keen to avoid discussions that bring up uncomfortable emotions, which is understandable if a matter feels a little raw. Still, if you feel like talking to someone, it can take the pressure off and enable you to feel at peace. Getting it off your chest could really help.
With Venus angling towards Neptune in your sector of self-worth, your confidence could be affected should someone criticize or misunderstand you. You can spend a lot of time wondering how to make things better, but don’t bother! A developing aspect involving Jupiter, encourages you not to let them get to you, but to carry on making the world a better place.
A Venus/Neptune tie suggests you’re in a sensitive mood, making it difficult to handle people who are critical or overbearing. You don’t have to please everyone, Pisces. Slow down and consider your feelings, as they really do count. If you’re uncertain of how to tackle certain issues, don’t try so hard. Go for a walk or relax in a soothing bath, and the answers will soon show up.
