n an impromptu break in protocol during Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 12’s change of command aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), Rear Adm. Andrew Lewis meritoriously promoted Frederic Gilmore to petty officer first class, July 21 in what was another step forward in an unlikely Navy career. A culinary school graduate, Gilmore had years of food industry experience and a passion for the culinary arts, but he had little aspiration for a military career until the economic recession altered his plans. Looking for greater opportunity, the Bronx native enlisted to be a culinary specialist, but life at his first duty station, the multipurpose amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1), was not all smooth sailing. “My first [food service officer] kept me in line the whole time, but he had to move me away from the habits that I had,” said Gilmore. “I had a big mouth on me and I thought that I knew it all. It was a good experience [the first couple of years in the Navy] because once I learned that my first and second classes were there for me and not trying to work against me then I was more open to suggestions and the way the Navy did things.” Gilmore began his career in the culinary field at about 18 years old. He continued working in the food industry for seven years, holding jobs in various restaurants between New York and New Jersey. He attended Johnson & Wales University for a

bachelor’s degree in hospitality, which he later completed at a hometown culinary school in Asbury Park, New Jersey. When he entered the Navy, Gilmore could be hot-tempered, his discipline was lacking sometimes, and as an older Sailor he found it especially difficult to adjust to Navy life. “The guys we get nowadays are young so we can train them the way that we want to,” said Gilmore. “You get a guy in the military that has a lot of experience and he’s going to be set in his ways and so then he won’t be as open to suggestions.” Gilmore worked hard to adapt to the Navy and his efforts did not go unnoticed. Before his food service officer transferred from the Wasp, he wrote Gilmore a letter of recommendation to work in the flag mess community after which Gilmore received orders to serve on the CSG 12 staff. Gilmore welcomed the challenge, ready to commit to meeting the high

expectations of working in a flag mess. “I don’t believe in staying too complacent,” said Gilmore. “Monotony will kill you, in my opinion, so you have to go out and do something new. I would definitely say you have to change up your routine sometimes. That being said, for me, I change up the way I carry myself and what I am going to do, the type of food I am going to do, what I am going to learn, the type of jobs I want to do.” Nurtured from an uncertain start, Gilmore’s career has blossomed into a successful one. Not only is he now a first class petty officer, he has also obtained orders to work in Washington D.C. for the Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO), a prestigious billet in the culinary specialist field. “It’s going to be a challenge and it’s going to be different. I am going to have to keep working on those things I’ve been working on like my [attitude] but it’s a challenge I want. A

challenge to take on for my career and it’s something that I definitely strive for,” said Gilmore. When asked whether or not Gilmore could see himself making a career out of the Navy, he explained that it is still a matter that he is taking his time on. “I say that I will do 20 [years] but I would also like to open up my own deli or gym in Jersey,” said Gilmore. “I have a business plan for that option. If I get out at 41 years old I know that I have that plan for myself. If I stay in the Navy I know I want to put on khakis so first I want to become a chief and then after that probably go the officer route.” One thing remains certain and that is Gilmore’s passion for the culinary arts. Whether it is making a career out of the Navy or returning to the civilian world to open up his own business, Gilmore knows his talents have a lot to offer and he has the drive to match.

2 Americans Avert Carnage In Train Attack PARIS — A heavily armed gunman opened fire aboard a packed high-speed train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris late Friday afternoon, wounding several passengers before he was tackled and subdued by two Americans, according to French officials, who said the pair had averted a mass killing. At least one of the Americans was a military member, and some news reports said they were both United States Marines. The assault was described by the Belgian prime minister as a terrorist attack and French officials said one of the Americans was among the wounded. Their conditions were not immediately clear. French officials were refusing to characterize the episode as terrorism late Friday night. But the antiterrorism unit of the Paris prosecutor’s office took charge of the investigation. A 26-year-old man of Moroccan origin was taken into custody by the police as the train, with 554 passengers pulled into the station in Arras, in northern France, according to the French news media. Passengers spoke of hearing gunshots as the train was traveling through the countryside, and of seeing bloodied individuals rolling out into the grass when the train lurched to a stop during a chaotic few minutes of shooting. France, on high alert after deadly terrorist attacks this year, immediately sent Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve to Arras, where he commended the two Americans on the train who had helped “neutralize this extremely violent passenger,” praising them for their “great bravery” and saying that “without their sang-froid we could have been confronted with a terrible tragedy.” French Twitter messages surged with praise for the Americans. “Enormous respect for the two American soldiers who prevented a terrorist attack,” said @Math2ieu. Others called for the pair to be awarded the Legion of Honor. ADAM NOSSITER

FROM THE PAGES OF

Stocks Plummet, Threatening Bull Run Stock prices around the world continued to plunge on Friday, threatening to end one of the longest bull runs in the history of the United States stock market. A searing six-year rally in United States stocks had advanced into the summer months, shrugging off challenges like the dispute over Greece’s debt that nearly led to the country crashing out of the euro. But in the last two weeks, world markets tumbled as investors grew concerned about economic conditions in China, which unexpectedly devalued its currency last week, and the outlook for the economies of other large developing countries. As the selling accelerated Friday, some benchmark indexes were at or near 10 percent below their recent peaks — a “correction” in Wall Street parlance. “This is likely going to go down as the first meaningful correction in four years,” said David Rosenberg, an economist and strategist at Gluskin Sheff. Sell-offs in the financial markets need not cause harm in the real economy. In many cases, the

United States stock market has recovered after reacting negatively to problems overseas. Strong employment numbers and other economic indicators suggest that the United States economy remains resilient. Trillions of dollars of cheap money from the Federal Reserve has fueled economic growth and helped push markets higher around the world. Now, the question is whether the world can stay on the recovery path as the Fed winds down its stimulus efforts. Such concerns on Friday helped push stocks far below the peaks they reached just weeks ago when investors were ebullient. The Dow Jones industrial average is more than 10 percent below the high it reached in May. At Friday’s close, the index was down 530.94 points, to 16,459.75, a loss of 3.1 percent on the day. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index, a broader benchmark, fell below the psychologically important 2,000 mark. It was down 3.2 percent on the day. It fell 64.84 points, to 1,970.89. The index lost $1.14 trillion in value

this week, according to S. & P. Dow Jones Indices. The Nasdaq, which contains a lot of technology stocks, fell 3.5 percent on Friday, a slide that takes the index nearly 10 percent below its latest high. It closed down 171.45 points, to 4,706.04. The price of oil, as measured by the benchmark United States crude contract in New York, briefly fell below $40 a barrel. Later on Friday it was trading at $40.11. Investors rushed into the relative safety of government bonds. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.05 percent on Friday, from 2.07 percent on Thursday. In the coming days, investors will have to decide whether the selling is part of summer squall that will pass — or the start of tougher times for the global economy that could weigh on stock markets for months. [Page 4.] “There is a relatively more ominous slowdown going on in emerging markets — and that’s what the trade is all about right now,” said Gina C. Martin Adams, an equity strategist at Wells Fargo Securities. PETER EAVIS

Iran Preparing to Cash In After Nuclear Deal ZARRINABAD, Iran — When Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps took over the nation’s telecommunications monopoly in 2009, the move was denounced as another dark step in the hard-line military group’s seizure of the levers of power. “It’s not just a matter of the Guards dominating the economy, but of controlling the state,” Alireza Nader, an expert on Iran and the co-author of a RAND Corporation report on the Revolutionary Guards, said at the time. Last month, however, the company, the Telecommunication Company of Iran, was put up for sale, as the Revolutionary Guards now seem more interested in cashing in on what Iranian leaders are hoping will be a flood of foreign investment if a nuclear deal with world powers gains final approval and sanctions are lifted. During the past decade, well-connected Iranian investors

amassed undervalued assets in poorly executed and frequently corrupt rounds of privatization, buying insurance companies, hospitals, refineries and public utilities, among other things previously run — usually poorly — by the state. But with Western sanctions putting an ever-tightening stranglehold on the Iranian economy, finding buyers for the assets became next to impossible. In the absence of outside investors, and no deep-pocketed private buyers in the country, Iranian investment companies fronting for state pension funds, military cooperatives and religious foundations bounced shares back and forth on the Tehran Stock Exchange just to make small profits. The potential sell-off began to take shape in July, as the nuclear agreement began to move toward a conclusion. That was when the Etemad-e-Mobin investment

company, part of a cooperative fund belonging to the Revolutionary Guards Corps, put the Telecommunication Company of Iran on the selling block. The fund’s chief executive officer, Mostafa Seyyed Hashemi, told the Tabnak website that bidding for the company — which Iranian news media reported was acquired after Etemad-e-Mobin’s strongest competitor was barred from the auction — would start at the $7.8 billion it paid in 2009. “They had no one to sell to inside Iran but now, with the nuclear deal done, everything is falling into place,” said one well-established Iranian-American consultant who asked to remain anonymous because his business activities are punishable under United States law as long as sanctions remain in place. “A lot of people here have started pulling out their calculators.” THOMAS ERDBRINK

In Twist, Europe Looks to Tsipras To Stabilize Greece ROME — Europe spent months trying to crush Alexis Tsipras. But now that Greece’s leftist prime minister has called a snap election and is seeking a mandate for the tough new bailout program he negotiated with his country’s creditors, Europe, oddly enough, may find itself invested in his success. Greece never fails to surprise, and Tsipras’s turbulent eightmonth tenure has proved he is rarely predictable. But the man many European leaders once regarded as a populist wrecking ball is now presenting himself as a figure who can deliver pragmatism and stability — and carry out the sort of austerity program he once inveighed angrily against. “I’m sure that he has talked to European leaders, and they are O.K. with what he is doing now,” said Harry Papasotiriou, a professor of international relations at Panteion University in Athens, adding that Tsipras was staking his political life on a bailout deal that includes the kind of taxes and pension cuts he once opposed. “He’s taking ownership of it.” The latest twist by Tsipras was met with cautious optimism on Friday by some European commentators even as his surprise move again tossed Greece into political turmoil. On Friday, a faction of hard-line leftists split from Tsipras’s Syriza party and formed a new party, vowing to resist austerity and possibly even lead Greece out of the eurozone. Analysts also cautioned that the new election, and the political maneuverings in Athens, could further complicate and slow implementation of the 86 billion euro bailout program, worth about $98 billion at Friday’s exchange rate, signed by Tsipras in July. Some economists also warned that the uncertainty surrounding the elections, including the possibility that the proposed Sept. 20 election could be pushed back, could revive the sort of public anxiety that earlier this year destabilized the broader economy and spurred a run on Greek banks. “That element I find to be much more risky,” said Marcel Fratzscher, president of the German Institute of Economic Research in Berlin. “It creates much more uncertainty.”JIM YARDLEY

Police and Migrants Clash After Border Closes SKOPJE, Macedonia — Tensions at the Greek-Macedonian border erupted into clashes on Friday, when the Macedonian police used stun grenades to try to disperse a large group of migrants trying to swarm across the border into their country. The United Nations refugee agency expressed deep concern about the clashes, which took place a day after the Macedonian government declared a temporary state of emergency and tried to clamp down on a growing flood of refugees trying to reach wealthier Western European countries through the Balkans. By evening, a wary calm had been restored at the border crossing outside the Macedonian town of Gevgelija, where the clashes took place. For many, despair lat-

er turned to a kind of relief when the authorities relented somewhat and allowed several groups of refugees to cross the border. But some 3,000 tired and frightened men, women and children, most of them fleeing war zones in Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan, were still waiting Friday evening in a no man’s land between the Greek and Macedonian sides, hemmed in by barbed wire and surrounded by soldiers and police officers. “It is a fact that we are facing an increased pressure from the influx of migrants attempting to cross the border,” said Ivo Kotevski, a spokesman for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. “But so far we have the situation under control, and there haven’t been any major incidents or injuries.” Before the state of emergen-

cy was declared, large numbers of migrants who had made their way to Greece would head north to Macedonia, often crossing the relatively porous border by train or by walking along the tracks. But the police moved to stiffen the border on Friday. The government also used its authority under the state of emergency to deploy army troops along the border. Critics of the government said that the moves would only drive the migrants to try to sneak across in more dangerous ways, or fall victim to human traffickers. “There was no need for declaring a state of crisis,” said Jasmin Redzepi of Legis, a nonprofit organization that provides support to migrants. “It appears to come as a result of the increased pressure from the local citizens.” (NYT)

North and South Korea Face Off Over Loudspeakers SEOUL, South Korea — After a period of calm — or relative calm, at least — along the heavily militarized border between North and South Korea, both sides were back on alert Friday. The unlikely cause: Loudspeakers. North Korea said Friday morning that its leader, Kim Jong-un, had ordered military units to be ready to attack loudspeakers near the border that the South has used in recent days to blare propaganda messages. Kim gave the South until 5 p.m. Saturday to stop using the speakers. If not, the North promised “strong military action,” though it did not say when it would act. Bellicose demands, threats

and ultimatums from the North are hardly uncommon, and each side tends to react angrily to any move from the other that it sees as provocative. Frictions sometimes escalate all the way to exchanges of gunfire, only to ease back from the brink again. Still, the latest spike in tensions came the day after the North directed artillery fire and what may have been a rocket across the border, according to South Korea, prompting a response in kind from the South. It was the first exchange of fire across the border on such a scale in five years. President Park Geun-hye of South Korea, wearing a camouflage uniform, visited the Third

Army Corps south of Seoul on Friday and ordered the military to “respond decisively” to any provocations from the North. Her government said it had no intention of stopping the use of the loudspeakers, which North Korea has said defile the “dignity of its supreme leadership” by spreading anti-Kim propaganda. South Korean defense officials said that while they believed the North’s front-line forces were on a “semi-war” state of alert, fully armed and standing by in forward bunkers and gun positions, no signs had been detected of reinforcements moving up to the border or other preparations for an attack.

In Brief A Tool to Analyze War’s Effect Civil unrest and humanitarian crises can now be detected from space — because of cleaner air. A paper published on Friday in the journal Science analyzed satellite data from observations of major cities in the Middle East and found that measurements of nitrogen oxides in the air around those cities provided insights into the effects of war, civil unrest and other crises. Nitrogen dioxide, a byproduct of the burning of fossil fuels, is part of the chemical reactions that produce ozone and smog. Nitrogen oxides are often used by scientists as an indicator of economic activity and of the effectiveness of pollution-control measures. According to the paper, in recent years many of the cities in the region showed a rapid decline in levels of nitrogen oxides. Jos Lelieveld, the lead author of the study and a researcher

at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany, said that by using tools aboard the NASA satellite Aura, he and his colleagues found decreasing levels of pollutants that corresponded to geopolitical crises that included armed conflict, trade sanctions and the rise of the Islamic State.

Airstrikes Said to Kill Dozens Doctors Without Borders said Friday that Saudi-led airstrikes on a residential district in Yemen’s southwestern city of Taiz had killed over 65 civilians, including 17 people from one family. If confirmed, it would be one of the largest tolls from airstrikes by Saudi Arabia and its military coalition partners since they began bombing Yemen five months ago in a campaign to crush the Houthi insurgency in the country.

Seedy Concedes to Construction on Sunset WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — The House of Blues stood by the Sunset Strip for 21 years strong, another rock ’n’ roll outpost on a curvy boulevard renowned for its music, comedy, celebrity, glamour and a bit of sleaze. But this month the club’s run came to an end, announced with a “Thank you, L.A.!” message on its billboard and workers carting out computer screens and folding chairs. The bulldozers — and a new high-rise luxury hotel-condominium — are on the way. And not only there. These days, it seems, all of the Sunset Strip is a construction site. The Sunset Strip is one of the best-known stretches of Sunset Boulevard, a 22-mile roadway that stretches from the Pacific Ocean to downtown Los Angeles. Now, the mile-and-a-half lowrise stretch of Sunset Boulevard — where Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin performed at the Whisky a Go Go, and River Phoenix died of a drug overdose outside the Viper

Famous nightclubs have long defined the Sunset Strip. the Strip gives way to a blander face.

A Clinton Slide Bolsters Interest in a Biden Run WASHINGTON — As Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign struggles with sliding poll numbers, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s exploration of a presidential candidacy is taking on a new seriousness. Biden has begun contacting donors who could help finance a campaign, eyeing major contributors to President Obama and pillars of his own fund-raising network: trial lawyers, leaders of the Jewish community and Greek-Americans. On Thursday, the vice president, who is not known for courting donors, spoke to George Tsunis, a Long Island developer and longtime support-

er who raised over $750,000 for the Obama-Biden ticket in 2012. “I think he is doing the prudent thing, which is to look at it and lay down some groundwork should he run,” Tsunis said. At the same time, some Democrats supporting Clinton have quietly signaled that they would re-evaluate their support if Biden joined the race. For example, Tom Daschle, an influential former Senate Democratic leader who has given the maximum amount allowable to Clinton’s campaign, has indicated he would reassess his position if Biden entered the race, according to people who have been in contact with him.

In addition, a “Draft Biden” group has started creating an infrastructure to use if the vice president enters the race. After initially focusing on raising money for their effort, they have begun to hire field organizers. On Thursday, Quinnipiac University released a poll that showed troubling signs for Clinton in three key states: Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio. In each state survey, at least 6 in 10 voters said the former secretary of state was not honest and trustworthy. Less than 4 in 10 voters in each state held a favorable view of Clinton, compared with nearly 6 in 10 who viewed her negatively.(NYT)

Man Killed by Police in St. Louis Was Shot in the Back An 18-year-old St. Louis man whom police said they shot after he pointed a gun at them died from a bullet that entered the middle of his back and lodged near his rib cage, the city’s chief medical examiner said Friday, the latest killing of a black man by officers that has raised tensions in the region. But the examiner, Dr. Michael A. Graham, said that despite the bullet wound to the back, other

physical evidence would have to be examined before conclusions could be drawn. After nights of tense demonstrations in the wake of Wednesday’s killing of the teenager, Mansur Ball-Bey, in a foot chase by two white officers, St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson urged caution about the medical examiner’s findings. “We are still in the early stages of the investigation and the new

facts by themselves do not paint a complete picture,” Dotson said during a news conference at police headquarters. Yet the autopsy does raise a question regarding the police account that Ball-Bey continued to run after he was shot and then collapsed. Graham said he would have expected the teenager to have been “incapacitated immediately” by the fatal gunshot. JOHN ELIGON

In Brief Mistrial for Officer In Fatal Shooting After nearly four days of jury deliberations, a judge declared a mistrial on Friday in the trial of a white police officer who killed an unarmed black man in Charlotte, N.C., almost two years ago. The jury foreman told Judge Robert C. Ervin that he saw no possibility of a verdict in the case against Officer Randall Kerrick, who was charged with manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Jonathan Ferrell. Deputy Attorney General Arden Harris told reporters afterward that prosecutors would consider their options regarding a second trial. The jury foreman had told Ervin earlier in the day that the panel was making progress, only to return, fresh from its third 8-4 vote, to report that it was giving up. That was the fourth vote over all. It is not known which way the jury was leaning. (NYT)

State Legislators Fail To Agree on Districts Florida’s House and Senate Friday failed to agree on a new congressional map mandated by the state’s Supreme Court, bringing to a futile close a legislative special session created to redraw congressional districts the court said were unconstitutionally gerrymandered. The two chambers could not agree on last-ditch efforts to present a unified plan to the court on Tuesday. Instead, the House and Senate are expected to offer their own maps separately. The Legislature was given until Oct. 17 to produce a map but its first deadline is on Tuesday.(NYT)

Judge Allows Release Of Secret Videos An anti-abortion group has a free speech right to release covert video of discussions with a company that provides fetal tissue for research, even if the video was illegally recorded, a judge ruled Friday. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joanne O’Donnell rejected efforts by StemExpress to block the videos, though she said the company likely will prevail in its lawsuit claiming its privacy was violated by an anti-abortion activist posing as a biomedical company employee. The company said the officials were not notified they were being recorded. (AP)

BUSINESS

THE MARKETS

Market’s Dive Less Dire Than It Might Seem markets this week looks less like a catastrophe in the making and more like a much-needed breather when markets had been starting to look a little bubbly. Market commentators offer a range of specific explanations for the sell-off, including a drop in oil prices thanks to a global supply glut (which will affect the profits of energy companies and oil-dependent emerging markets alike), a slowdown in the Chinese economy that is becoming more apparent by the day, and a credit crunch in other emerging markets. But those explanations, while accurate, are part of a bigger story. A mix of interventionist policies from the Federal Reserve and other central banks, and a global glut of investment capital have created a mismatch between the global economy, which

has grown glacially, and markets, which have been on fire. As Josh Brown of Ritholtz Wealth Management tweeted on Friday, “2015 is the first year since the recovery began where the real economy is outperforming the financial economy.” The big question now is whether the fundamentals driving the recent sell-off— the oil glut, the emerging market strains — get worse or better. In the meantime, the best response for most investors trying to grapple with the latest bout of volatility is to take a deep breath, appreciate the remarkable run-up of the last five years, and remember that if you panic at the thought of losing 6 percent of your money in a week, that money really shouldn’t be invested in the stock market to begin with.

Court Reinstates Pay Rules for Home Care Workers WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court on Friday reinstated regulations drawn up by the Obama administration to extend minimum wage and overtime protections to almost two million workers who provide care for the elderly and disabled in their homes. The regulations, struck down by a lower court last December, were intended to remove an exemption in federal minimum wage and overtime laws for home care workers employed by third-party staffing agencies. A three-judge appellate panel in Washington ruled Friday that the Labor Department has the authority to eliminate the exemption for these workers.

Labor law experts, pointing out that Democratic administrations have been trying to eliminate the exemption since the early 1990s, called the ruling momentous. “It’s not that surprising, since it’s absolutely correct as a legal matter,” said Kate Andrias, a professor at the University of Michigan law school. “But it has an extremely important effect on the home care industry, home care workers, which is a lot of people.” Andrias added that the ruling represented a key victory in the administration’s broader effort to revise labor laws so they reflect the economy as it exists today. Advocates and labor lawyers have argued that Congress meant for all full-time care providers to

be covered by the minimum wage and overtime provisions of federal labor law when it revised the law in 1974. The Labor Department made this argument when it issued the regulations in 2013, and on Friday the appellate panel, in the District of Columbia Circuit, agreed. A lawyer who helps represent the Home Care Association of America, the industry group that challenged the new regulations, indicated that the plaintiff did not consider the fight over. “We’re reviewing the decision and considering all our options, including Supreme Court review,” said the lawyer, William A. Dombi of the Center for Health Care Law, which is backed by the home care and hospice industry. (NYT)

Novartis to Buy Multiple Sclerosis Drug From Glaxo Novartis bolstered its portfolio of multiple sclerosis treatments on Friday by agreeing to buy an experimental drug from GlaxoSmithKline for more than $1 billion, the company said. Novartis, the Swiss pharmaceutical giant, acquired the rights this year to use the drug, ofatumumab, to treat cancer, and sells it under the name Arzerra. This was part of a swap of assets completed in March, in which Novartis took over Glaxo’s cancer drugs and Glaxo took on much of

Novartis’s vaccine business. The deal announced on Friday gives Novartis all remaining rights to ofatumumab, which is being developed to treat relapsing, remitting multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune conditions. Having the rights under one ownership would avoid the complications that could arise from having two companies selling the same drug for different uses. The deal also bolsters a portfolio of drugs Novartis is developing for multiple sclerosis, centered on its

blockbuster pill Gilenya. The company will also pay royalties of up to 12 percent to Glaxo on any future net sales of the drug. The market for multiple sclerosis drugs is crowded. Moreover, ofatumumab is only now ready to enter late-stage clinical trials, putting it a couple of years behind ocrelizumab, a similar drug being developed by Roche. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of the year. AMIE TSANG and ANDREW POLLACK

BUSINESS

Stepping Away From Work Force, Slowly Corliss Fanjoy is turning 65 this year, but she is not ready for retirement. And at a small handbag maker in Maine, where Fanjoy works cutting intricate patterns in leather, she is not alone. Most of her co-workers are over 55. One of them is her boss, Susan Nordman, 60, who bought the then-struggling company, Erda, based in Dexter, in 2013. She inherited a mostly older work force; Nordman was determined to keep those workers on the job. “Preserving critical knowledge is vital to the longevity of any business,” she said. “The skills that my employees possess require hands-on learning. With time and training, new workers can learn these skills, but only if someone is there to teach them. “Yes, you have to accommodate older workers’ needs,” Nordman added, “but they’re an asset, and you have to take care of an asset.” One way that Nordman has been able to retain her older workers is by offering more flexible work arrangements. “At Erda, everyone has a key to the office, so workers can work the hours that fit their needs,” she said. “Some elect to come as early as 5:30, and others work ninehour days and take a half day on Friday. I’ve always felt the more autonomy that you give someone,

the better job they’re going to do.” The extra effort has paid off, Nordman said. This year, the company, which sells to about 700 stores, will produce nearly 16,000 bags, up from 9,000 in 2013. Erda, she said, is now turning a profit. As more workers like Fanjoy are saying no to a traditional retirement, more employers are informally introducing flexibility into their schedules or allowing employees to step slowly out of the work force with a phased retirement arrangement. It can be a win-win for both. But there are plenty of challenges to overcome. From 1985 to 2014, the rate of participation in the labor force for people 65 to 69 increased to almost 32 percent from about 18 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Delayed retirement is a consid-

eration for an array of reasons, but for many people, money is the fundamental factor. “Financial necessity dictates the need to work for most of my older workers,” Nordman said. In June, the Senate Special Committee on Aging held a hearing to investigate the topic: “Work in Retirement: Career Reinventions and the New Retirement Workscape.” Sen. Susan Collins, R-Me. and the chairwoman of the committee, has been a leading voice advocating the value of older workers. “The face of our nation’s work force is changing,” Collins said. “I think we’re facing a tsunami of retirees who will find that they are going to outlive their savings, that they have not prepared for their retirement.” KERRY HANNON

What It Takes to Get a Workaholic to Chill Out Anthony Hitt, chief executive of Engel & Völkers North America, a luxury property company, spends at least one week each quarter at his home in Maui, Hawaii. At this point, Wealth three years into Matters the top job, he said he talks to his top lieutenants only 15 minutes a day when he’s there. The rest of the time he reads, practices yoga, rides his bicycle or otherwise tries to disconnect from the responsibilities of his job. “My vacations are so low-key,” he said. “I try not to think, ‘What about this or what is the solution to that?’ ” While August is traditionally the time people get away, fewer are doing it and those who are leaving work aren’t detaching the way Hitt does. People in the United States are taking less time off than at any point in the

last 40 years, according to data cited this year in The New York Times. Responses to one online questionnaire indicated that a majority of Americans do not use all of their paid vacation. Project: Time Off, a group supported by the travel industry, said in a survey this summer that American workers had hit a record low for days off, 16 days a year. (Fifteen years ago, workers averaged about 20 days off.) And it christened a new archetype: the work martyr, a person whose family understands that work will interfere with family life but is still unhappy about it in more than a third of the cases. While it’s easy to criticize nonstop work, it is the reality not just for many high performers but also for people who fear for their jobs if they take time off. So how do people look at the costs — both the actual cost and the

psychological and physical cost of taking, or not taking, time for themselves? Finding ways to disconnect during nonvacation times may be more realistic, if no less difficult. Various forms of meditation and yoga, not surprisingly, are popular. But fitting those in with other activities can be tricky. Jeanette Bronee, who said she left a high-stress career as a fashion executive 10 years ago to start a health consultancy, Path for Life, stresses mindfulness — a concept she said many type-A people shun at first. “A lot of people have a hard time thinking about mindfulness because they think of sitting on a pillow for 30 minutes,” she said. “But mindfulness is something we can practice in daily ways. Mindfulness is a lot about catching all those thoughts that cause us stress.” PAUL SULLIVAN

Lily Tomlin Energizes A Road Trip In need of cash — we’ll get to why in a minute — Elle Reid, a poet and sometime professor in her 70s, decides to sell some precious old books. She figures that even though they’re a bit worse for wear, her first editions of Betty Friedan and Simone de Beauvoir should fetch a few hundred dollars at the local feminist bookstore-cafe. Her outrage when she’s grudgingly offered a lot less than that compounds her dismay at her teenage granddaughter’s cluelessness about the authors of “The Feminine Mystique” and “The Second Sex.” What’s wrong with the world these days? That’s a long conversation, but as of this writing one thing that is absolutely right with the world is the existence of “Grandma,” Paul Weitz’s wry and insightful movie about an eventful day in the life of Elle and her granddaughter. There is much to praise about this sweet, smart comedy of intergenerational conflict and solidarity:

Lily Tomlin, left, has been a consistent performer for decades. With Julia Garner.

GLEN WILSON/SONY PICTURES CLASSICS

the way the script captures the speech patterns of the young, the old and the middle age; the way the story feels at once frantic and relaxed, as the two main characters race against the clock and meander through Los Angeles in Elle’s wheezy vintage car; the brief, memorable appearances from supporting performers like Judy Greer, Sam Elliott and Elizabeth Peña (in one of her last roles). But honestly, the wonder that is “Grandma” can be summed up in two words: Lily Tomlin. “Grandma” is, among other things, a portrait of grief. For more than 30 years, Elle shared her life with Vi, whose relatively recent death casts a long shadow over Elle’s daily routines. In the first few scenes, we see Elle bru-

tally dumping her younger lover, Olivia (Greer), and then weeping alone in the shower once Olivia has left. Bereavement, it seems, has set Elle firmly in her solitary, sarcastic ways. She doesn’t talk much to Judy (Marcia Gay Harden), the daughter she and Vi raised together, and is therefore somewhat startled when Judy’s daughter, Sage (Julia Garner), shows up at her door in need of help. Sage is pregnant. She has an appointment for an abortion but not enough money to pay for it, and Elle, in a quixotic gesture of rebellion that is also a convenient plot device, has recently shredded her credit cards. Hence the trip to the bookstore-cafe (where Olivia happens to be working), and

hence the zigzagging mini-road trip, during which they encounter Sage’s jerky ex-boyfriend (Nat Wolff), an old flame of Elle’s, and Judy, who makes both her mother and her daughter nervous, though for different reasons. Elle is to some extent an elaboration of the maverick matriarch Tomlin played in “Admission,” Weitz’s uneven and unsatisfying 2013 comedy. “Grandma” is a much more lucid film, less crowded with story points and more open to the idiosyncrasies of its characters. It regards them all, in particular Sage, Judy and Elle, with clarity and sympathy, acknowledging the distinct risks and opportunities each one faces as she tries to pursue happiness and avoid compromise. Weitz treats them all with a fondness that feels entirely unforced, and his sentimental tendencies are balanced by their mostly dry-eyed performances, and above all by Tomlin’s peppery honesty. Someone should start a petition to put her face on the $20 bill. It wouldn’t solve all our problems, but it would be a pretty good start. A. O. SCOTT

In the documentary “Beltracchi: The Art of Forgery,” the German forger Wolfgang Beltracchi, who was sentenced in 2011 to six years in prison but released this year, professes to be able to paint anything. The movie, directed by Arne Birkenstock, positions the maned, urbane con artist as a man of enormous talent and ingenuity. The film suggests that his deception was enabled by the skewed economic incentives of the art world, where the authentication of a painting has the potential to KIMSTIM reap financial rewards.

While Beltracchi is an agreeable raconteur, the film is a case in which a great documentary topic hasn’t yielded a great documentary. Significant questions remain unanswered, including how the case was resolved in a German court. By the end, though, it seems hard to accuse Beltracchi of hypocrisy. Shown painting under his real name, he says he doesn’t mind that his own works aren’t forgery proof. BEN KENIGSBERG
