RATING SPOTLIGHT
RELIGIOUS PROGRAM SPECIALIST Story by MC3 Anna Van Nuys
T
he Religious Program Specialist (RP) rating provides dedicated support to the Navy’s Chaplain Corps, which also serves the Marine Corps, but that wasn’t always the case. While the idea of having an enlisted specialist assigned to the ship’s chaplain was proposed in 1878, the Navy didn’t adopt the recommendation until 1942, when the Welfare “W” rating was created to assist chaplains during WWII, and it was one of the ratings open to WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). Today’s RP provides physical and administrative
support to chaplains throughout the fleet, and they’ve been doing so since the rating was established January 15, 1979. “Working for chaplains is just like working for anyone else,” said Religious Program Specialist 1st Class William Murdy, leading petty officer for the Command Religious and Ministries department (CRMD). “You have to know what they want and what they need. When it comes to religious services, there are so many details for those services that usually what I’ll do is have them set up for their service, and take pictures of how it’s
set up. That way I can [replicate] what they do as best as I can.” Sailors who dedicate their time in the Navy serving the needs of the chaplain spend their days doing anything from maintaining records to providing security as a bodyguard if deployed with the Marine Corps. “We all have to go out and take care of people,” said Lt. Cmdr. Aaron Miller, a Navy chaplain with 16 years of service. “We’re out there creating programs and trying to make sure Sailors and Marines are doing well spiritually and emotionally, -Lt. Cmdr. Aaron but we need to organize the things that we do. Our RPs have to be extremely professional Sailors. They have to know all the ins and outs of Sailors, and take care of us chaplains.” Aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), RPs do the maintenance and hold the
collateral duties expected of a much larger department, despite being one of the smallest departments on board. They maintain the ship’s library, an escape for Sailors with no other place to relax, and they set up religious services offered on the ship, regardless of their personal faith preference. “I would say that the RP rating, and the RPs themselves, are the backbone, the support, and the pillars of what we do,” said Miller. CRMD offers a multitude of services including, but not limited to, Roman Catholic Mass, Christian Communion service, lay-led Jewish Miller, TR Chaplain services and lay-led Muslim services. TR’s RPs agree, there is one aspect of the job that is paramount: attention to detail. “You’d be very surprised how it’s the little things that can spoil something great,” said Religious Programs Specialist 2nd Class Michael Judge. “When it comes
“Our RPs have to be extremely professional Sailors. They have to know all the ins and outs of Sailors, and take care of us chaplains”
to these services, it’s not about the chaplain. It’s not about us. It’s about the Sailors and the people. We’re on deployment, and these are the only religious services the Sailors can get. We try to get as close to home as we can; the sermons, the music, the setups, whatever we can do. So attention to detail is extremely important.” Judge, an aspiring chaplain, had a friend in the Navy who advised him that if he really wanted to do something with religion or spirituality, then becoming an RP would be his best bet. “My job doesn’t entitle me to counsel like the chaplains do,” said Judge. “In a different way, it’s easy taking care of our Sailors. [You can’t] be judgmental. When they come in, you let them know they’re safe and this place is completely confidential. If a Sailor comes to us and says, ‘Hey, I’m having anger management issues and I really don’t want to talk to a chaplain,’ we have to be there to redirect them to Fleet and Family or Military One Source. In that aspect, we’re like a reference point for Sailors.” Miller spoke highly of his RPs, crediting them with being a critical first stop for Sailors who come to CRMD. “The RPs are our triage, our first initial intake,” said Miller. “If someone comes in and they need counseling, the RPs need to ask questions and maybe figure out if it’s an emergency or something that can be scheduled later. They will help those Sailors understand how the counseling might go and explain to them the confidentiality of it.” As the first people Sailors see upon walking into the ship’s library, RPs don’t just schedule counseling appointments. “We have [American Red Cross] messages that come in,” said Murdy, explaining that he will frequently see people who are going through some of the toughest moments of their lives. “Sometimes people are so upset that they can’t even speak,” Murdy said. “People aren’t robots. They have emotions, they’re physical, and they think. It’s not just something where you get behind a machine or an aircraft and go ‘Oh, this part’s broken. This is what we have to do to fix it.’ That’s not how it works. I’ve seen people cry when they’re happy, and laugh at funerals.” Taking care of Sailors is a top priority for RPs, especially for Murdy. When he first came in, he wanted to throw himself into missionary work, but did not know exactly what lay ahead in his future with the Navy. “We support every religion out there, so even though I have my own personal faith preference, it doesn’t really matter. We take care of the crew. We have to learn the language of the Navy, learn the language of the people we’re speaking to, and assimilate enough into the culture to really be able to take care of those people. If we don’t learn the language, we can’t do anything.”

Obama Battles With Pro-Israel Group on Iran WASHINGTON — President Obama had a tough message for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or Aipac, the powerful pro-Israel group that is furiously campaigning against the Iran nuclear accord, when he met with two of its leaders at the White House this week. The president accused Aipac of spending millions of dollars in advertising against the deal and spreading false claims about it, people in the meeting recalled. So Obama told the Aipac leaders that he intended to hit back hard. The next day in a speech at American University, Obama denounced the deal’s opponents as “lobbyists” doling out millions of dollars to trumpet the same hawkish rhetoric that had led the United States into war with Iraq. The president never mentioned Aipac by name, but his target was unmistakable. The remarks reflected an unusually sharp rupture between a sitting American president and the most potent pro-Israel lobbying group. Ronald Reagan went up against Aipac when he defied Israeli objections over the sale of Awacs reconnaissance planes to Saudi Arabia in 1981. A decade later, George H.W. Bush took on the group during a fight over housing loan guarantees for Israel. But the tone of the current dispute is raising concerns among some of Obama’s allies. They say they are worried that the president has gone overboard in criticizing the group and like-minded opponents of the deal. “It’s somewhat dangerous, because there’s a kind of a dog whistle here that some people are going to hear as ‘it’s time to go after people,’ and not just rhetorically,” said David Makovsky, a former Middle East adviser for the Obama administration and now an analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Studies. But Aipac’s claims, he said, have been just as overheated. “There’s almost a bunker mentality on both sides.” JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS

A Fear That Debate Could Hurt G.O.P. After Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida insisted at the Republican presidential debate that rape and incest victims should carry pregnancies to term, aides to Hillary Rodham Clinton could barely contain their delight at his unyielding stance, rushing to tell reporters at her campaign headquarters that those remarks would hurt Rubio with female voters. When Donald J. Trump stood by his slights against women during the debate, saying the Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly “behaved very badly” as a moderator — and then promoting a Twitter message calling her a “bimbo” — feminists were not the only ones expressing outrage on Friday: the chairwoman of the New Hampshire Republican Party accused Trump of “chauvinism.” And in response to multiple male candidates saying they would shut down the federal government over financing for Planned Parenthood, the Democratic National Committee emailed a set of talking points to
allies within an hour saying that among the biggest losers at the debate were “American women, who were attacked at every turn.” Republican Party leaders, whose presidential nominees have not won a majority of female voters since 1988, are setting their sights on making electoral gains among women. But the remarks and tone about women at Thursday’s debate — and the sight of 10 male candidates owning the stage — may have only damaged the party’s standing among female voters in the 2016 general election, according to political strategists and some Republican leaders and analysts. “So much of the debate was all about appealing to male voters and other parts of the Republican base, rather than doing anything to help the party’s general election goal of trying to be more inclusive,” said Lee M. Miringoff, a pollster and director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. “By being callous or showing disregard toward women, and then laughing it off with a charge of political correctness or simply
saying they’re taking conservative stands, the Republicans could win over some of the older male Republican voters out there. But what about female voters?” In the short term, the political peril for the Republican candidates may not be so grave. They are largely focused now on winning over likely Republican voters who will decide the party’s nomination — an electorate that tends to skew male and older in many key states. But several prominent Republican women said they were worried that the candidates would only hurt themselves, and the party, if they did not change the substance and style of their remarks at future debates. “Not one candidate attempted to persuade women voters,” said Margaret Hoover, a Republican consultant and author. “There’s a difference between pandering and vote-courting: Thursday night, G.O.P. candidates did neither for women weary of the Republican brand.” PATRICK HEALY and JEREMY W. PETERS
Theater Gunman Is Spared Death in Colorado CENTENNIAL, Colo. — In a decision that surprised many in this community, a jury sentenced James E. Holmes to life in prison with no chance of parole on Friday, rejecting the death penalty for the man who carried out a 2012 shooting rampage that killed 12 people in a Colorado movie theater. As the courtroom waited for Judge Carlos Samour Jr. to review the verdict, only the sound of him turning pages could be heard. Family members of the dead who sat through three months of wrenching, sometimes grisly testimony held hands and closed their eyes. Holmes stood flanked by his lawyers, one of them holding his arm. A few feet away, his parents stood up to see better and gripped each other. Then the judge read each sentence of life, noting that jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on any of the counts
against Holmes. In Colorado, death sentences must be unanimous. If even one person dissents, the sentence is life in prison. Holmes showed little emotion, standing before the judge with his hands in his pockets even as his mother collapsed into her husband. One of the police officers who had responded to the attack at the theater sobbed, while others stood stoically. Some families in the gallery cried quietly or slumped in their chairs; one man stormed out of the courtroom. Many had wanted death for the man who had reaped so much carnage, but others had said they simply wanted the ordeal to be over, and had hoped to avoid the years of appeals that a death sentence would bring and focus instead on their families and memories of loved ones. Since Holmes was convict-
ed last month of more than 160 counts of murder and attempted murder, his lawyers and prosecutors have been putting questions of his fate before the jury of nine women and three men. Prosecutors, emphasizing the human toll and indiscriminate cruelty of opening fire on a happy crowd of moviegoers, argued that he should join the three other men on Colorado’s death row. In an earlier court filing, defense lawyers said they had offered to plead guilty in exchange for life in prison, but the district attorney, George Brauchler, pursued a capital trial, saying that in this case, “Justice is death.” Some family members of victims were clearly disappointed. “He’s still living and breathing,” said Robert Sullivan, grandfather of Veronica Moser-Sullivan, 6, the youngest killed that night. “Our loved ones are gone.” JACK HEALY

Suicide Attacks Shake Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan — A barrage of deadly suicide attacks killed at least 40 people and wounded hundreds more in Kabul on Friday, ending a two-monthlong lull in major terrorist strikes in the capital, according to Afghan officials. It was the deadliest day in Kabul so far this year. After two earlier waves of attacks, a third large explosion went off late at night as insurgents attacked in the Qasaba neighborhood, north of the international airport. There were no immediate updates on casualties, and the fighting continued into early Saturday morning. The three attacks were the first major terrorist strikes in the capital since reports surfaced that the nominal leaders of two major Afghan insurgent groups had been dead for months or years, suggesting that insurgent elements were trying to prove they were still capable of launching deadly attacks. A Kabul police official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the press, said that at least 25 people were killed when four suicide attackers tried to enter the Kabul Police Academy compound shortly before 8 p.m. All four attackers were killed. In the day’s first attack, at 1 a.m., a massive truck bomb driven by a suicide attacker blew up in the center of Kabul, killing 15 people and wounding hundreds, according to senior Afghan officials.

A Migrant Nearly Crosses the Channel on Foot LONDON — For one African migrant, there was nothing left to lose. The migrant, Abdul Rahman Haroun, 40, risked his life this week by climbing four fences, evading international search teams and as many as 400 security cameras, and walking about 30 miles in the darkness of the Channel Tunnel in an effort to reach Britain from Calais, France. He dodged trains traveling to London from Paris as they hurtled by at up to 100 miles per hour. He had made it nearly to the other side, Folkestone, England, before he was caught and arrested on Tuesday. Three days later news of Haroun’s perilous journey was still reverberating in Britain, a country polarized by a spiraling migration crisis. Though much about him remains unknown —
the police said he is Sudanese and has no fixed address — his story of determination had reduced the sprawling migration crisis to a human scale, just at a moment when some British politicians and media have railed at those seeking to enter their country in hopes of a better life in what critics say are increasingly dehumanizing terms. Haroun’s bravado is unlikely to be rewarded. “It is illegal and very dangerous to attempt to enter the tunnel, and a person can be seriously injured or killed,” Romain Dufour, a spokesman for Eurotunnel, said by telephone on Friday, adding that Haroun was the first migrant to walk nearly the entire length of the Channel Tunnel. “Mr. Haroun could now face prison, and he will likely not be able to get asylum. He has lost everything.”
Haroun was charged with obstructing railroad engines or passenger cars under the Malicious Damage Act of 1861. Britain and France are grappling with the challenge of thousands of desperate migrants who have tried to cross the Channel in recent weeks by cutting through fences and stowing away in trucks or other vehicles. Ten migrants have been killed near Calais since June trying to flee to Britain. After Prime Minister David Cameron spoke late last month on ITV News of “a swarm of people coming across the Mediterranean, seeking a better life,” Harriet Harman, the acting leader of the opposition Labour Party, criticized him, and was quoted by the BBC as saying that “he should remember he is talking about people and not insects.” DAN BILEFSKY
North Korea Set to Create a Time Zone of Its Own SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea, a hermetic country stuck in the Cold War and obsessed with its long-dead founder, now wants to turn back time. By a half-hour. The government announced on Friday that it would create its own time zone — “Pyongyang time” — and set its clocks 30 minutes behind those of South Korea and Japan. The change is set for Aug. 15, the 70th anniversary of Japan’s defeat in World War II, which freed the Korean Peninsula from Japanese rule. The current time on the peninsula — nine hours ahead of Coor-
dinated Universal Time — was set by Japan. North Korean public pronouncements can be as virulently anti-Japanese as they are anti-American, so it was natural that the clock change would be billed as throwing off a hated vestige of colonial domination. “The wicked Japanese imperialists committed such unpardonable crimes as depriving Korea of even its standard time,” the North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency said on Friday. South Korea has its own historical grudges with Japan, but the time of day is not one of them. Jeong Joon-hee, a spokesman for
the Unification Ministry in the South, said that following Pyongyang’s lead now would be confusing and expensive for a country that, unlike the North, is thoroughly integrated with the global economy. The Japanese government offered no response to the North’s announcement, but the Japanese news media pounced on the news, including Pyongyang’s accusation that Japan “stole Korea’s time.” Some Internet users offered amused criticism. “Why did they wait 70 years?” several asked on Twitter.

In Brief U.N. Seeks Bomb Users The United Nations Security Council took a major step on Friday in holding users of chemical weapons in the Syrian civil war accountable, unanimously adopting a resolution to set up a panel to identify and investigate them. The resolution was drafted by the United States after an unusual collaboration with Russia on the text. It is the most significant step the Council has taken concerning chemical weapons in Syria since President Bashar al-Assad’s government first promised to forswear them nearly two years ago. Though all 1,300 tons of the Syrian government’s declared chemical weapons have been destroyed under international supervision, there have been increasing reports of bomb
attacks involving chlorine, whose use as a weapon is considered a war crime. (NYT)
2 Punished for Insulting King Thai military courts on Friday sentenced two people to long prison terms for insulting the monarchy, the heaviest sentences for the crime in the country’s history, lawyers and a legal monitoring group said. In the first case, Pongsak Sriboonpeng, 48, was sentenced to 30 years for six Facebook posts in 2013 and 2014, said his lawyer, Sasinan Thamnithinan. He had been sentenced to 60 years, but the time was reduced because he pleaded guilty, Sasinan said. Another court handed down a prison sentence of 28 years, reduced from 56 years, for a 29-year-old woman who also pleaded guilty,
said Yingcheep Atchanont, a researcher at the legal monitoring group iLaw. The woman, Sasivimol, who wanted only her first name used, was sentenced for seven posts that insulted the royal family, the researcher said. (Reuters)
Climbers’ Remains Identified Two Japanese mountain climbers caught in a snowstorm and buried under nearly half a century of Alpine ice have been identified, the police in Switzerland announced this week. The remains of Masayuki Kobayashi, 21, who disappeared in a blizzard in 1970 while climbing the Matterhorn, and his trekking partner, Michio Oikawa, 22, were identified with DNA tests after their remains were discovered last year, the police said Thursday.

Katrina Created a Lab to Save a Sinking Coast NEW ORLEANS — Ten years ago, the neighborhood hard by the 17th Street canal in this city was water-blasted. The surges from Hurricane Katrina swept into the canal, broke through its flood walls and forced homes off their foundations. Much of New Orleans remained steeped in brackish filth for weeks. In the aftermath, Congress approved $14 billion for a 350-mile ring of protection around the city with bigger and stronger levees, gigantic gates that could be closed against storms, and a spectacular two-mile “Great Wall of Lake Borgne” that can seal off the canal that devastated the city’s Lower Ninth Ward when its flood walls failed. More work is underway, including pump stations that will keep the city’s three main drainage canals from being overwhelmed again during storms. The elaborate system of walls, pumps and gates is still not everything the Crescent City needs; some flooding of streets in heavy

storms will always be a fact of life. But it goes a long way to fulfilling a promise by federal and state officials that the kind of widespread destruction from Hurricane Katrina, one of the worst disasters in United States history, will not happen again. And it is only the start. As the federal government built a protective ring around New Orleans, state officials devised a plan to take care of other vulnerable areas in the state as part of a 50-year, $50 billion master plan. The lessons from Hurricane
Katrina are being watched with interest. People within sight of any coast want a wall to call
their own. New York and New Jersey are looking at multibillion-dollar proposals to limit the damage that could be caused by the next Hurricane Sandy. Galveston, Tex., wants an “Ike Dike,” a great wall to blunt storms like Hurricane Ike in 2008. Officials also have come from around the world to see what is rising here. “We are at the forefront of addressing the issues caused by climate change,” said Chip Kline, the state’s top coastal official.

Psychologists Barred From Ties to Interrogations TORONTO — The American Psychological Association on Friday overwhelmingly approved a new ban on any involvement by psychologists in national security interrogations conducted by the United States government, even non-coercive interrogations now conducted by the Obama administration. The council of representatives of the organization, the nation’s largest professional association of psychologists, voted to impose the ban at its annual meeting here. The vote followed an emotional debate in which several members said the ban was needed to restore the organization’s reputation in
the wake of a scathing independent investigation ordered by the A.P.A.’s board. That investigation, conducted by David Hoffman, a Chicago lawyer, found that some A.P.A. officers and other prominent psychologists colluded with government officials during the Bush administration to make sure that association policies did not prevent psychologists from involvement in the harsh interrogation programs conducted by the C.I.A. and the Pentagon. Nadine Kaslow, an A.P.A. board member and head of a special committee established by the board to oversee the investigation
into the organization’s role in interrogations, said she was pleased by the overwhelming vote in favor of the measure. “This is a very resounding ‘Yes,’ ” Kaslow said. The ban was approved by the A.P.A.’s council by a vote of 156 to 1. Seven council members abstained, while one was recused. The final vote was met by a standing ovation by many of the council members, as well as a large crowd of observers. Some psychologists did speak out in opposition to the ban, or at least expressed reservations about it during the debate before the vote on Friday morning, arguing that it went too far. JAMES RISEN
Train Safety Technology Delayed, Report to Congress Says WASHINGTON — A majority of freight railroads and passenger trains will not be able to meet a year-end deadline to install technology that prevents trains from exceeding speed limits and helps avoid collisions, the Federal Railroad Administration said Friday in a report to Congress. Congress set a deadline of Dec. 31 for freight and commuter rail companies to install the technology, which is known as positive
train control, after a California passenger train derailed in 2008, killing 25 people. But the report, which was provided to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, said few railroads were on schedule to meet the deadline. The largest railroads would only have 39 percent of their trains fitted with the technology by the end of the year, the report said. The report also said that just 29 percent of commuter railroads
were expected to complete installation of the safety equipment by the end of 2015. Full implementation of the technology for all commuter lines was projected to be completed by 2020. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, more than 300 lives and nearly 7,000 injuries could have been avoided over the last 46 years if the technology had been installed. RON NIXON

In Brief Heavy Metals Spill Into River in Colorado Heavy metals including lead and arsenic are in mustard-colored muck that E.P.A. and contractor crews accidentally unleashed from a Colorado mine into a river, federal officials said Friday, but they did not immediately discuss amounts in the water or health risks. The spill also contained cadmium, aluminum, copper and calcium, the Environmental Protection Agency said. During a public meeting in Durango, Shaun McGrath, an E.P.A. official, said local authorities were right to close the Animas River to human activities. Few details have been released about the million-gallon spill, except that a cleanup crew accidentally breached a containment structure at the shuttered Gold King Mine on Wednesday, and the wastewater flowed into the river through a tributary. The sludge is creeping toward communities in northern New Mexico. (AP)
City Hires Clerk Fired Over Emails A court clerk in Ferguson, Mo., who was fired over racist emails uncovered by the U.S. Justice Department after the police shooting death of Michael Brown has a new court job in another suburban St. Louis. Vinita Park Mayor James McGee told The Associated Press on Friday that Mary Ann Twitty was hired last month as a temporary, part-time court clerk in that 1,900-resident city, where roughly two-thirds of the residents are black. The Justice Department cited the racially charged emails linked to Twitty, who is white, and two ranking Ferguson officers in a scathing report that found widespread racial bias in the city’s policing and in a municipal court system.

Evacuees Return Home in California Fire officials say most residents who evacuated during a Northern California wildfire have been allowed to return home as crews reopened two highways that were used as fire breaks. About 800 of the 1,200 people who were ordered to evacuate went home Thursday night, and most others returned Friday. (AP)

Jobs Report Gives Fed Signal to Raise Rates crucial 5 percent level by late 2015 or early 2016. With the job market generally moving in the right direction, the Fed is likely to stay the course in its plans to raise short-term interest rates soon. Fed officials haven’t given a definitive signal, but they’ve indicated a rate increase is possible at the next Fed meeting in September or at their last meeting of the year in December. While pockets of weakness remain — namely historically low levels of participation in the work force and very sluggish wage gains for most workers — private economists said on Friday that a September move by the central bank is a real possibility now, especially if job creation in August turns out to be as good as or better than it was in July. “Solid enough to keep the Sep-
tember hike alive,” said Ian Shepherdson of Pantheon Macroeconomics, in a note to clients shortly after the release of the data. Although the initial increase will be small, short-term interest rates have been near zero since late 2008. The Fed dropped rates to historically low levels during the depths of the financial crisis in a bid to stimulate growth and stave off panic. The slow reversal of years of easy credit by the central bank has markets on edge. “It comes down to a shift in policy, and this will be a watershed event,” said Scott Anderson, chief economist at Bank of the West in San Francisco. “Investors are looking beyond the first rate hike to where rates will be two, three or four years down the road.” NELSON D. SCHWARTZ
Judge Cites Free Speech in Ruling Against F.D.A. A federal judge said on Friday that the Food and Drug Administration could not prohibit the truthful promotion of a drug for unapproved uses because doing so would violate the protection of free speech. The decision, by a district judge in Manhattan, could inhibit the ability of the F.D.A. to regulate one aspect of pharmaceutical marketing. Pharmaceutical companies have collectively paid billions of dollars in fines in recent years after being accused of marketing drugs for unapproved uses. Lawyers who represent pharmaceutical companies said it was too soon to say how far reaching the ruling would be, in part be-
cause technically it applies to only the district in which it was handed down. Also, while the F.D.A. declined to comment, the lawyers said they expected the agency to appeal. For now, some said, pharmaceutical manufacturers would probably remain cautious about openly promoting their products for unapproved uses. That will not be the case for Amarin, the small drug company that won at least a temporary victory in Friday’s ruling. It sells the drug Vascepa to treat extremely high levels of certain fats, known as triglycerides, in the blood. The company said on Friday that it would now begin to promote the use of Vascepa for pa-
tients with somewhat lower levels of triglycerides, a use that the F.D.A. declined to approve. “This is the first decision, I think, that clearly and unequivocally rebuffs the government’s view that off-label promotion can be prosecuted, even if truthful and nonmisleading,” said Joel Kurtzberg, a lawyer with the firm of Cahill Gordon & Reindel who represented Amarin. Doctors are allowed to use approved drugs in ways not explicitly approved by the F.D.A., and such so-called off-label use is extremely common. But the government has long maintained that it is illegal for companies to actively promote such off-label uses. ANDREW POLLACK
Vice Media Staff Members Latest to Choose Unionizing Some staff members at Vice Media have voted to unionize, according to two people familiar with the matter, joining other digital media outlets that have recently moved to organize. The writers will join Writers Guild of America, East, the union that the websites Gawker and Salon chose for their unionization efforts. The moves are seen by some as a sign of maturity in a previously anarchic sector, defined by its start-up sensibility and employees’ youth. There was speculation on Friday that other
major digital media companies might follow suit, though a representative for the union declined to comment. Vice, which was founded about 20 years ago as an irreverent print magazine, has since grown, with investments from 21st Century Fox among others, and now values itself in the billions. The staff members delivered a letter to Vice executives Friday, one of the people familiar with the matter said, adding that the company had signaled that it was willing to engage in the process,
which would probably involve negotiations with staff members and W.G.A. officials, as did the similar efforts at Gawker and Salon. It was not clear whether the employees had made specific demands. The precise number of those who chose to organize was also not immediately clear, though one person familiar with the effort suggested that it was fewer than 100. The company has about 700 employees in the United States. RAVI SOMAIYA

The American economy delivered pretty much what was expected last month in terms of hiring, giving the Federal Reserve one more piece of evidence that conditions are strong enough to support an increase in the interest rate. The pace of employment growth was steady, if not spectacular; the economy added 215,000 jobs in July. While not as robust as the gains recorded in May and June, Friday’s Labor Department report came in within 10,000 jobs of what forecasters had predicted, a notable feat of consistency in an economy that employs nearly 150 million people. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 5.3 percent. If the current pace of job growth can be maintained, economists expect the jobless rate to sink below the

Pima Cotton Industry Withers Out West FRESNO, Calif. — Up and down the San Joaquin Valley, vast fields that once grew cotton lie fallow, remnants of a boom and bust fueled by a worldwide demand for premium T-shirts and linens. Farmers here have fallowed acres of Pima cotton by the thousands, threatening the region’s unlikely reign as the world’s biggest producer of the specialty cotton, also called Supima. Environmentalists say that farmers should never have bet so heavily on a thirsty cash crop in this dry swath of central California — particularly a crop used for luxury clothing, as opposed to food. As recently as 2011, American farmers planted a near-record 306,000 acres of Pima cotton, almost all of that in the San Joaquin Valley. But now, with reservoirs nearly dry, farmers in California’s hardest-hit districts have no surface water to irrigate their crops. At the same time, cotton prices have slumped, hurt by a global glut. Farmers may harvest as little as 100,000 acres of Pima cotton in California this year, according to the latest forecasts. Purveyors of Pima say that the soft, extra-long fiber, favored by high-end retailers like Brooks Brothers and Polo Ralph Lauren, is irreplaceable. And even more important, they say, it supports American jobs. “It’s the world’s finest cotton,” said Jim Neufeld, a third-generation cotton farmer in Wasco, at the southern end of the valley. This season, he planted 250 acres of cotton, down from a peak of 11,000 acres in the 1990s.

Jim Neufeld, a cotton farmer in Wasco, Calif., planted 250 acres this year, down from 11,000 in the 1990s.
“It simply doesn’t fit into today’s environment,” Neufeld said. The luxury cotton was introduced to California in the 1990s, and farmers quickly realized that the arid, expansive San Joaquin Valley was ideal for the crop. “It’s a just-add-water kind of location,” said Robert B. Hutmacher, a cotton specialist at the University of California’s Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources. “Of course, just-addwater used to be much easier to achieve.”
For some farmers, economics are driving a decision to shift away from the crop. Don J. Cameron grew cotton for 35 years at his ranch southwest of Fresno, shifting primarily to Pima cotton in the 1990s. This year, he planted no cotton, instead growing canning tomatoes and other vegetables, which are more profitable per gallon of water. “We produced the best cotton,” he said. “It’s going to be very hard to replace.” But farmers like Neufeld say that investments he made during the boom years tie him to the crop. He and other local farmers spent $4.5 million to build a new gin in the late 1990s, he said. “To turn around and junk it now would be too disheartening,” he said. “We may be forced to give it up — we don’t know — but I’m one of those guys really trying to make it work.” HIROKO TABUCHI
Weinstein Will Promote to Fill Executive Roles LOS ANGELES — Next year, the Weinstein Company is expected to release a comic film caper called “Army of One.” For a while, that looked like the indie studio’s new motto. In an omnibus round of corporate appointments, Harvey Weinstein on Thursday evening said he was promoting more than a half-dozen executives at his namesake company, replacing managers who suddenly left in recent days and months. Weinstein also said he and his brother, Bob, both of whom are co-chairmen of the company, were interviewing at least three

candidates to replace David Glasser, the company’s president and chief operating officer. Glasser said this week that he would leave his post in November. The sudden wave of departures, which included Jason Janego and Tom Quinn, co-presidents of the Radius-TWC unit, raised eyebrows in an entertainment industry that was jolted only last week by the bankruptcy of another ambitious independent company, Relativity Media. Weinstein, however, said the staffing crisis was more apparent than real. On Thursday evening, he said the turnover was consistent with
past experience at his rough-andtumble company. Those who left included Weinstein’s marketing president, Stephen Bruno; its television president, Meryl Poster; the film production and acquisitions president, Dylan Sellers; and, in 2013, its president of international operations, Michael Rothstein. Weinstein said new appointments included Francois Martin, who would become president of global marketing, and Ryan Brasno, who would join Martin in overseeing aspects of the studio’s marketing division.

A Stalker Thriller That Isn’t What It Seems Barry Crimmins’ Even if “The Gift,” the Australian director Joel Edgerton’s creepy stalker thriller, didn’t make a dramatic U-turn at around the halfway point, it would still rank as a superior specimen. This movie doesn’t foam at the mouth like “Fatal Attraction.” No bunnies are boiled. But fish are poisoned, a family dog goes missing and the soundtrack is tricked out with the sudden jolts dear to the genre. Any revenge is more pitiable than cathartic. Eventually, the film abandons its formulaic premise, in which prosperous young adults are menaced by malevolent outside forces, and a subtext reveals itself. Underneath it all, “The Gift” is a merciless critique of an amoral corporate culture in which the ends justify the means, and lying and cheating are OK, as long as they’re not found out. Bullying and cruelty are good for business. The first half of “The Gift” observes a reasonably happy, attractive couple settling into their beautiful new home in the Hollywood Hills. Simon (Jason Bateman), an executive at a computer security company, and his wife, Robyn (Rebecca Hall), an interior designer, have moved from Chicago to a dream house in Los Angeles, where Simon grew up. The couple are childless. Robyn, depressed after a miscarriage, is anxious and sullen. Simon, a go-getter, is on the fast track to a promotion at his new job. While

Rebecca Hall, left, and Jason Bateman, in “The Gift.” shopping one day, they are approached by a stranger. Introducing himself as Gordo (Edgerton in a sly, troubling performance), he says he remembers Simon from his high school class. Simon, claiming no recollection, invites Gordo for dinner, and the three spend an uncomfortable evening making awkward conversation. Gordo is quite handsome, but dead-eyed and excessively polite in a slightly ominous way. Clearly there is a hidden agenda. Simon is a plum role for Bateman, who is an expert at playing slightly undersexed nice guys and domesticated husbands while also evoking the demonic underside of smiling cordiality. His subtle performance locates a vague unease and coldness be-
hind Simon’s bonhomie. But because the screenplay adroitly adheres to the thriller playbook, you barely notice the danger signs. Robyn, increasingly unnerved, sets about looking into Simon’s past. From one of his high school friends, she pries the story of how Simon, who became president of his class, behaved like a teenage Iago. Who was he then? And who is he now? A measure of the film’s moral seriousness is that it doesn’t culminate with a fight to the death in which evil is vanquished and virtue triumphs. As the conventions employed to trick us fall away, “The Gift” emerges as a Hitchcockian exercise in deception that expresses a dour view of the capitalist rat race. STEPHEN HOLDEN
“Call Me Lucky,” Bobcat Goldthwait’s documentary portrait of his professional mentor, the political comedian Barry Crimmins, is an earnest homage that also honors Crimmins’ crusade to drive child pornography off the Internet. Although stand-up comedy is often fueled by anger, the rage expressed in Crimmins’ diatribes knows no bounds. His particular targets are the United States government and the Roman Catholic Church. The movie strains to drum up mystery as to the sources of Crimmins’ rage. When it finally spills the beans, you feel unnecessarily manipulated. Those beans, which have to do with his childhood sexual abuse in the basement of his house, are even more horrifying than most people could imagine. And your heart goes out to Crimmins, 63, for his courage, honesty and fearless truth-telling. The Internet was relatively new and largely unregulated in the 1990s, and in those early days, chat rooms in which pedophiles exchanged photos and information flourished. In the most devastating scene, Crimmins, testifying at a 1995 congressional hearing on child pornography, clashes with a clueless executive of AOL, which eventually shut down such chat rooms. For that alone, Crimmins is a hero. STEPHEN HOLDEN
‘Fantastic Four,’ the Reboot (Wanted or Not) That Remains Mediocre The opening scenes of “Fantastic Four” — 20th Century Fox’s reboot of its Marvel superhero franchise — take place in 2007, which happens to be the year that the second movie in the prerebooted franchise (“Rise of the Silver Surfer”) was released. Ben Grimm and Reed Richards (played as children by Evan Hannemann and Owen Judge, later by Jamie Bell and Miles Teller) don’t mention that fact, because if they did the cinematic universe would collapse on itself and all light would be extinguished from the cosmos. Also, the thoughtful people at Fox probably don’t want to remind anyone of those earlier movies. Some of us have long memories, though, and can summon the bad cinema of the mid-aughts with furious clarity. Looking back on those days, I remember — Jessica Alba. OK, forget it. I’ll just go ahead and reboot my 2005 review of the first “Fantastic Four” origin story, which I said was “fantastic only in its commitment to mediocrity.” That’s still true, though a decade later it’s true in different ways.

This “Fantastic Four,” directed by Josh Trank, feels less like a tale of superhero beginnings than like a very long precredit opening sequence. As boys growing up on Long Island, Reed and Ben are brains-and-brawn science-fair buddies. Reed is working on a teleporting machine that attracts the attention of Franklin Storm (Reg E. Cathey), who runs some kind of boarding school/research center in Manhattan. There, Reed meets the Storm kids, Sue the sci-
entist (Kate Mara) and Johnny the hot-rodder (Michael B. Jordan), and also a brooding intellectual named Victor von Doom (Toby Kebbell). Much later, after they have traveled to a parallel dimension where a planet full of energy (please just fill in whatever exposition you feel will get you to the next part of this sentence), Victor will face down his erstwhile classmates and say: “There is no more Victor. There is only DOOM!” There is nothing wrong with that kind of line, but it needs to be earned, with gravity or wit. The best superhero entertainments have both. “Fantastic Four,” despite the dogged efforts of its talented cast, has nothing. Once again, the only real pathos belongs to Bell’s Ben, who finds himself trapped in a stony new body and weaponized by a ruthless government. Teller stretches, Jordan burns and Mara disappears. Her character also has the power to make other things vanish. I would say she should have exercised it on this movie, but in a week or two, that should take care of itself. A. O. SCOTT
