军方领导层对延长伊朗行动持谨慎态度

评估报告警告海格塞斯潜在风险

长期冲突恐削弱美国在其他地区的实力

作者：亚历克斯·霍顿 (ALEX HORTON) 和 塔拉·科普 (TARA COPP)

据知情人士透露，在一份为国防部长准备的最新评估报告中，多位美国军方领导人已建议国防部长皮特·海格塞斯，延长针对伊朗的大规模行动是不可持续的，且可能削弱美国应对包括本土在内的其他地区威胁的能力。

这些警告由陆军、海军和空军负责人，以及负责监督美国在欧洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲行动的四星级指挥官向海格塞斯详细汇报。知情人士表示，这些内容出现在 8月14日版本的《国防部长命令簿》（SDOB）中。由于该文件属于机密，他们在向《华盛顿邮报》描述该评估报告时要求匿名。

关税威胁该原住民部落的生活方式

黑脚保留地的牧场主、出租车司机和露营地业主已经忍受了两年的经济损失。他们担心与加拿大之间的新贸易战会让情况变得更糟。

蒙大拿州黑脚印第安保留地 —— 7月这一天的黎明温暖且干燥，仿佛是为收割干草而设计的，但到了下午三点，农民韦恩·史密斯（Wayne Smith）还没有割掉一根草。

他的打捆机在当天早晨坏了，而就在他修好它之后，他的拖拉机又无法启动。他知道什么能让机器重新运转 —— 一个大小像抽了一半的雪茄的尖头金属接头 —— 但他也知道自己没有这个零件，而且因为唐纳德·特朗普总统的原因，这个零件将很难找到。

现在他坐在皮卡车里，敲击着方向盘，思考着一个 $18 的金属件是如何阻碍他在一片价值 $5,200. 的未收割干草地上的工作的。他在等待长期牧场合作伙伴兼黑脚族成员巴兹·蒙伯格（Buzz Momberg）的电话，后者去了一家当地商店查看。手机震动了，史密斯在铃声响起前就接了起来。“嘿，巴兹，”史密斯说道，希望他能带来好消息。

他没有。

“该死，”史密斯说。他再次敲击方向盘。

他知道有一家店肯定有这个接头：洛基山设备公司（Rocky Mountain Equipment），一家位于北边跨越加拿大边境 80 英里处的经销商。与优先考虑约翰迪尔（John Deere）的美国商店不同，加拿大供应商倾向于储备凯斯纽荷兰（Case IH）的零件。近 30 年来，洛基山设备公司一直是他的首选。

这种情况在 2025, 年初发生了变化，当时特朗普对来自加拿大的钢材和铝材以及一系列其他商品征收 25 百分比的关税，理由是这些费用对于打击跨境非法药物流动和纠正贸易失衡至关重要。最高法院随后的一项裁决废除了部分针对加拿大和墨西哥的关税，但保留了对这两种金属的税收。上周，就在史密斯的拖拉机损坏不到两个月后，在贸易谈判破裂之后，总统宣布对多种加拿大商品额外征收 50 百分比的关税。作为回应，加拿大总理下令对数百种美国产品征收“等额”税款，包括钢材、铝材和农业设备。

72, 岁的史密斯无法追踪 2,000 英里外的华盛顿发生了什么。他只知道现在在加拿大购买的零件可能会贵出数百美元。而且，由于他们的国家采取的报复性关税，他可靠的加拿大客户停止购买他的谷物。他的预算中没有缓冲空间来承受这两次打击。

供应商称特朗普推崇的汽油未付款

诉讼指控降低价格的连锁店欠款近 400万美元 in arrears

……自由燃料网络（Freedom Fuel Network）中的站点。

一家加油站连锁店上个月响应唐纳德·特朗普总统降低燃料价格的号召而降低了价格，这引发了一场关于其如何能以如此低折扣销售的谜团。

一项新诉讼提供了一个可能的答案：一家燃料供应商指称，最终交付给站点的汽油未获得付款。

盖恩斯维尔的曼斯菲尔德石油公司（Mansfield Oil Company）在本月的一项联邦诉讼中声称，新泽西州商人赛义德·卡兹米（Syed Kazmi）及其公司 KRSM 在 5 月下旬至 7 月初期间，从宾夕法尼亚州的一个终端提取了超过一百万加仑的燃料 —— 价值近 400万美元 worth —— 但从未付款。

佐治亚州曼斯菲尔德公司的律师乌尔斯·布罗德里克·富雷尔（Urs Broderick Furrer）告诉《华盛顿邮报》，其中部分燃料被供应给了自由燃料网络网站上列出的至少 10 家宾夕法尼亚州加油站。

随着人工智能的崛起，美联储正面对一种强大的新经济力量

《华盛顿邮报》的一项分析发现，官员们经常讨论该技术对美国经济的影响

作者：SHIRA OVIDE

联邦储备委员会主席凯文·沃什（Kevin Warsh）在被唐纳德·特朗普总统提名后的首次重要演讲中，承诺将击败通货膨胀，但他也将大量关注点放在了美联储的一个新焦点上：人工智能。

沃什在周五表示，由于人工智能，我们已经来到了“历史的转折点”，并补充说这项技术可能会加速经济增长。

沃什的言论反映了美联储近期对人工智能看法的转变。自 ChatGPT 在 2022 年首次亮相并引发前所未有的资金涌入美国经济以来，这家强大的金融机构在很大程度上将其视为一个次要角色。

根据《华盛顿邮报》的一项分析，就在去年秋天，在官员们讨论如何引导美国经济的美联储政策会议公开摘要中，人工智能很少被提及。而今年，这项技术扮演了主角，其中数十次提及人工智能及其对就业、经济增长、生活成本以及金融崩溃风险的连锁反应。

美联储对人工智能关注度的激增，表明该技术在涉及美国民众、政策制定者和全球商业的核心事务中日益重要。前美联储经济学家、现任投资公司 New Century Advisors 首席经济学家克劳迪娅·萨姆（Claudia Sahm）表示，在 2026 年，人工智能“是所有事情的核心”。

以下是这一转变在美联储——这个世界上最具影响力的机构之一——中是如何发生的。

AI 是谁？

美联储的决策小组——联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）每年举行八次会议，讨论经济和金融市场，并就利率方向进行投票。其决定影响着你支付房贷或车贷的金额、杂货店的价格、你的投资组合、企业的招聘规模等。

这些会议是秘密进行的，公开的会议纪要为这些具有重大影响的集会提供了一个经过修饰的内部视角。民选官员、华尔街分析师和商业巨头分析这些摘要以及美联储官员的公开

教练在青少年美式足球中应对 CTE 担忧

在经历了十年的下降后，得益于安全方面的改进，参与对抗性美式足球的人数已开始回升

作者：ALBERT SAMAHA

教练约翰·哈特（John Hart）现在的高中美式足球训练与 15 年前大不相同。训练中没有将对方撞倒地上的擒抱，且持续时间很少超过 90 分钟。现任印第安纳州冠军布朗斯堡高中（Brownsburg High School）主教练哈特本周表示，如果 15 年前的约翰·哈特看到今天的训练，“我可能会狠狠地踢自己的屁股”。

现年 64 岁的哈特在数十年的球员和教练生涯中一直遵循一套被信赖的原则，但近年来，随着科学证据和令人震惊的悲剧揭示了美式足球暴力带来的代价，这些原则突然间威胁到这项运动的生存。从 Pop Warner 联赛到 NFL，各级联赛都修改了规则，以消除最剧烈的碰撞。教练们更加严肃地对待脑震荡。球员们接受训练以避免头盔与头盔的碰撞。一些州的当地政府通过法律限制全接触训练的时间。这项运动的生存可能取决于如何更好地保护球员，而任何抵制变革的人现在都面临落后的风险。

“你内心传统的一面认为你需要更多的擒抱，然后你开始发现，在没有全接触的情况下有更好的教学方法，”哈特说。“大多数伤害发生在训练中，并且

在 Dollywood 的一次偶然相遇让他们结成了最深厚的友谊。A3

作者：蕾切尔·勒曼 (RACHEL LERMAN)

本周，更名一事成为了安大略湖两岸码头上的热门话题。但无论是美国还是加拿大的水手，似乎都没有对此过于在意。

“对我们来说，这根本不是个问题，除了看那些梗图并以此寻开心之外，”多伦多的一家包船航海公司 Gone Sailing Adventures 的船长兼创始人豪伊·科尔特 (Howie Colt) 表示。

科尔特在安大略湖西北岸的海域航行。安大略湖是五大湖中最东边的一个，也是最近被唐纳德·特朗普总统重新命名的水域。周四，在美加两国因特朗普激进的关税政策而紧张局势升级之际，总统签署了一项行政命令，将安大略湖 (Lake Ontario) 更名为美国湖 (Lake America)。

“非常遗憾，加拿大在贸易方面长期以来一直在坑我们，”特朗普在签署该命令时说道。这让人想起他去年决定将墨西哥湾 (Gulf of Mexico) 改名为美国湾 (Gulf of America) 的决定。

就像现在一样，当时这一举措的持久性似乎也令人怀疑。

“这里没有人会叫它除安大略湖以外的任何名字，”在加拿大境内靠近尼亚加拉瀑布的安大略省圣凯瑟琳斯 (St. Catharines)，其包船公司 Fish NV 的船长兼钓鱼向导布伦特·博切克 (Brent Bochek) 说道。

“直到我死的那一天，它在我的心中依然是安大略湖，”在纽约州罗切斯特附近的美国境内，Onacona Charters 的船长乔·凯尔 (Joe Kyle) 表示。

在湖中深水区航行的包船钓鱼和游艇公司是最有可能受到此次更名及其后续影响（如果有的话）的群体。这些公司通常由从事钓鱼或导游工作数十年的船长组成，他们依赖于来自美国和加拿大的游客。而总体而言，两国之间的旅游业近期一直有些不稳定。

去年，在特朗普开始对这个美国亲密盟友征收关税并谈到希望将加拿大变成第 51 个州之后，从加拿大进入美国的旅游业大幅下降。加拿大政府的数据显示，2025 年加拿大人进入美国的旅行人数下降了 25%。今年夏天有所回升，但仍远低于 2024 年的水平。

国际旅行社 Flight Centre Travel Group Canada（该机构的加拿大分部）的传播负责人阿姆拉·杜拉科维奇 (Amra Durakovic) 表示，到目前为止，特朗普的“美国湖”命令尚未引发大规模的取消订单。但她指出，加拿大人避开美国的意愿正日益增强。

该公司的数据显示，今年 7 月加拿大人前往美国的预订量比惨淡的 2025 年增长了 5.7%，但仍比特朗普重返白宫之前的 2024 年低 39%。

“这在某种程度上表明，政治情绪现在正以一种非常有趣的方式成为旅行决策的一部分，”杜拉科维奇说道。

至少有一家美国企业从这场骚动中获得了意想不到的助力。在罗切斯特的一家小型丝网印刷店 Lake Ontario Press，店主马特·萨克森 (Matt Saxon) 表示，有几百人对本周末的一场活动表现出兴趣，他们想在 T 恤上印上“安大略湖”的设计。

他说，到目前为止，还没有人要求印“美国湖”的设计。

回到水面上，多伦多港口旅游公司 (Toronto Harbour Tours) 的共同所有者丹·法里斯 (Dan Farris) 称这次更名是两国关系恶化的“悲哀反映”。“这代表了一种关系的破裂，而我们非常认真地对待并非常珍视这种关系，”法里斯说道。

他表示，幸运的是，到目前为止，官方的敌意还没有渗透到他的导游每天与游客之间友好的互动中。法里斯说，大多数人将“美国湖”这件事视为一个笑话，并补充说，他预计他那些幽默的导游会将此编入他们的导游词中。

“事实就是这样：这是政治，”在边境美国一侧经营罗切斯特游艇包船公司 (Rochester Yacht Charters) 的船长兼所有者尼克·加博夫斯基 (Nick Garbowski) 表示赞同。加博夫斯基说，他收到了很多来自码头员工的反馈，但除非“美国湖”真的流行起来，否则他不打算更改他的广告或对该湖的称呼。

“在真正有理由这么做之前，没人真的把它太当回事，”加博夫斯基说道。

在附近，罗切斯特“Double D 运动钓鱼公司”的船长丹·德乔治表示，他将这次更名视为一个机遇。他已经发布了一则红、白、蓝三色的广告，鼓励人们来“美国湖”钓鱼。

尽管如此，即使是德乔治也不认为这个名字能永远沿用下去。

“在内心深处，”他说，“这里永远还是安大略湖。”

特朗普请求最高法院允许将跨性别军人除名

法官去年允许禁令临时生效

作者：朱利安·马克 (JULIAN MARK)

特朗普政府周五请求最高法院允许美国军方将大约两打跨性别军人除名，此案可能会决定唐纳德·特朗普总统禁止跨性别者服役政策的合宪性。

最高法院可能会决定在 10 月开始的任期内审理此案。

“该议题的重要性在于其涉及的核心内容：联邦政府决定谁可以加入国家武装部队的权力，”代理总检察长 D. 约翰·索尔 (D. John Sauer) 在向最高法院提交的请愿书中写道。

2025 年 1 月就任后不久，特朗普签署了一项行政命令，将跨性别士兵从军队中清除，称“采取与个人生理性别不一致的性别认同，与士兵对光荣、诚实和纪律化生活方式的承诺相冲突，即便是在个人生活中也是如此。”

2025 年 5 月，最高法院允许该禁令在下级法院诉讼期间临时执行。目前提交至最高法院的案件涉及 28 名跨性别军人，他们主张该禁令违反了宪法关于平等保护的保证。结果将决定这组士兵是否可以继续服役，同时也可能影响其他跨性别军人的地位。《华盛顿邮报》此前报道，约有 4,000 名军人被诊断为性别焦虑。

代表原告的组织之一——国家 LGBTQ 权利中心 (National Center for LGBTQ Rights) 的法律总监香农·明特 (Shannon Minter) 表示，挑战该禁令的士兵中有 25 人处于行政休假状态。另有 3 名军人目前仍在服役。

“特朗普政府希望最高法院匆忙介入，在任何法院做出最终判决之前，就批准将这些经过证明且获得勋章的士兵驱逐出军队，”明特在的一份声明中说道。

今年 6 月，美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院的一个小组裁定，该禁令可能违反了原告的平等保护权。

由巴拉克·奥巴马总统任命的罗伯特·L·威尔金斯 (Robert L. Wilkins) 法官在代表小组 2-1 多数意见的裁决书中写道，该禁令“似乎纯粹是出于伤害一个在政治上不受欢迎的群体——即认同自己为跨性别者的人——的欲望”。

威尔金斯补充说，该政策“既是随意的，又是基于敌意的”。

特朗普政府请求最高法院推翻该裁决，称哥伦比亚特区巡回法院在宪法分析方面存在错误。

索尔在周五的请愿书中写道，“任何试图从对‘诚实’、‘谦逊’、‘正直’和‘虚假性别认同’的提及中推断出敌意的尝试都是不恰当的。”

根据 CNN 发布的一段视频，国防部长皮特·海格塞斯在 8 月参加爱荷华州博览会的一次演讲中，在提及军事政策时使用了跨性别歧视性的侮辱词汇。

该禁令是特朗普政府针对跨性别者的少数几项政策之一。在就职之初，特朗普签署了一项行政命令，宣布性别只有两种——男性和女性，同时谴责“性别意识形态”。这一观点影响了对跨性别劳动者歧视主张的执行，并引发了对允许跨性别运动员参加竞技体育的大学的调查。

最高法院在 6 月维持了各州禁止跨性别运动员参加女子运动队的禁令，并在 3 月推翻了科罗拉多州禁止对同性恋和跨性别未成年人进行“转化治疗”的禁令。这些都是跨性别者在最高法院遭遇的最新挫折。

在多莉坞，一次偶然的相遇让他们结成了最深厚的友谊

“在这里我感觉最像在家一样，”在传奇乡村歌手兼慈善家去世后，这群朋友在东田纳西州重聚，其中一人如此说道。

（从左至右）朋友利比·罗尔夫（Libby Rollf）、罗比·汤普森（Robbie Thompson）、加纳·拜拉姆二世（Garner Byram Jr.）、拉蒙娜·米克森（Ramona Mixon，前排）和布里塔尼·米克森（Brittany Mixon）周五在多莉坞主题公园观看照片。 JESSICA TEZAK / 为《华盛顿邮报》拍摄

作者：布雷迪·丹尼斯（BRADY DENNIS）

田纳西州塞维尔维尔 —— 重聚在黄昏时分于此地开始，地点就在那个已成为家乡传奇多莉·帕顿临时祭坛的小法院广场外。

罗比·汤普森从奥兰多飞抵此处。加纳·拜拉姆二世从弗吉尼亚州韦恩斯伯勒一路向南疾驰而来。利比·罗尔夫则从堪萨斯州堪萨斯城匆匆赶来。其他人则来自俄亥俄州代顿、北卡罗来纳州阿什维尔，以及田纳西州和佛罗里达州的其他地方。

“我们向这里聚集，是因为我们现在需要彼此，”来自南卡罗来纳州、现年30岁的亚伦·汉比（Aaron Hamby）在谈到是什么再次将他们吸引到东田纳西州（他们大多数人多年前在此相识）时说道。

那些在周三晚上抵达的人们拿着玫瑰花束，穿着以往多莉演唱会的T恤，像老朋友那样拥抱。他们有年轻的，也有不再年轻的；有异性恋者，也有同性恋者和跨性别者；有已婚的，也有未婚的。他们从事医疗保健、教育、政府工作以及航空业。他们的政治观点和经济条件各不相同。

但尽管存在这些差异，这个小团体随着时间的推移建立起了一种远比音乐更深厚的纽带。他们对帕顿共同的热爱给了他们一件珍贵的礼物：一个有些人从未预料到能找到的社区。

“我们变得像家人一样。一个‘多莉家庭’，”44岁的汤普森说道，“比起我们自己真正的家人，我们更喜欢这个家庭。”

在全美大部分地区将帕顿铭记为一位接纳各色人群、超越了许多国家分歧的人的这一周里，这里正是她团结力量的生动体现。一群来自天南地北的灵魂，最初在很久以前多莉坞的一次排队中相遇，并建立起一段随时间而加深的纽带。

他们中的许多人曾一起走遍全国乃至世界去观看帕顿的演出，从伦敦到科罗拉多州的红岩。他们的重聚曾在南达科他州、俄克拉荷马州、堪萨斯州、爱荷华州以及整个东海岸展开。他们几乎参加了多莉坞主题公园的每一次开园日，在旅行上花费了太多钱，耗费了太多假期 —— 但他们在过程中玩得非常开心。

“亲爱的，我们承包了她最后一次巡演的巴士费用，”42岁的拜拉姆开玩笑说。

他们对多莉的忠诚有时会使日常生活中的关系变得紧张。“我的前任告诉我，我们分手是因为多莉介入了我们之间，”他说道，且毫无悔意。

十五年过去了，尽管人数有所增加和变动，这个小团体依然忠于他们的守护圣徒 —— 以及彼此。

现在，他们再次聚集在一起，庆祝她光辉的一生，哀悼她的离世，并感谢她将他们聚集在一起。

“在这里我感觉最像在家一样，”汤普森说，“和我的人们在一起。”

“她们就在你身边”

当然，有多莉那空灵的嗓音，以及她充满灵魂的山区音乐。但对于许多朋友来说，几十年前吸引她们走向她的还有其他原因。

当时，她们生命中很少有人能理解，为什么她们如此被她的气质所吸引。

“很多年以来，我一直是独自一人这样做，”来自佛罗里达州彭萨科拉的布里塔尼·米克森（Brittany Mixon，51岁）说道，1986年公园开业那天，她也是以一个10岁孩子的身份在场。

大约15年前，在一次多莉在公园迎接粉丝的活动外，其中几个人偶然相遇，这个群体开始逐渐地相互发现。

“你可以给他们中的任何一个人打电话，”住在俄亥俄州的凯莉·雷尼格（Carrie Reinig，52岁）说，“我们庆祝彼此的成功，在糟糕的时候互相支持。……她们就是真正的家人。”

现在，作为她们北极星的多莉已经去世，这些深厚的关系会削弱吗？将她们多年来联系在一起的纽带会断裂吗？

“我觉得那部分不会改变，”雷尼格说，“如果说有什么变化，我们可能会更需要彼此。”

“这次不同。……通常我们都处于亢奋状态，”来自南卡罗来纳州格林维尔的乔纳森·布拉希尔（Jonathan Brashier，52岁）说，他从20世纪80年代起就一直来这里。

那天，房间里弥漫着一种忧伤，尽管朋友们在彼此的陪伴中得到了慰藉。

“我一直想象过，在这样一个夜晚我们会在一起，”布拉希尔说。

他们谈到了原计划去看多莉的打算，以及那些现在无法实现的音乐和回忆。

“我们中有多少人买了拉斯维加斯的票？”有人提到多莉此前曾推迟并最终完全取消的一场驻场演出。

所有人都举起了手。

他们谈到了在多莉木园（Dollywood）与多莉相遇的无数次机会，谈到了他们参加过的数十场演出——有些人仅在一次巡演中就看了二十多场。他们对着某些人为前排演唱会门票、见面会或远赴异地看演出的巨额花费而发笑。

他们誓言无论未来如何，都要保持亲密。

“（多莉）给我们最大的礼物就是彼此之间的友谊和关系，”汉比（Hamby）说，“现在不可避免的事情已经发生了，这就是将延续下去的东西……我们共同拥有的这些纽带。”

夜晚结束时，人们拥抱在一起，说着“我爱你”，并穿着各种颜色的多莉衬衫一起拍照。

窗外，在温暖的八月之夜，唯一的声音是蝉鸣。一轮满月悬在烟雾山脉之上，月光在小鸽河（Little Pigeon River）上闪烁。

“我们会永远爱你”

周五清晨，在澄澈蔚蓝的晨光中，这群朋友开车沿着山坡而下，向北开往塞维尔维尔（Sevierville）。

在鸽子锻造（Pigeon Forge），他们经过了多莉坞（Dollywood）那闪闪发光的入口。他们计划在当天晚些时候返回那里，去探访他们初次相遇并创造了如此多快乐回忆的地方。他们认为，与那些从乔治亚州、俄亥俄州、德克萨斯州、阿拉巴马州、纽约州甚至加拿大涌入这座小镇的同道哀悼者们共处，将是一种慰藉。

他们继续前行，路过无数一面半旗。路过煎饼店和纪念品店，路过晚餐剧场和迷你高尔夫球场。在 Andy’s 冷冻蛋奶冻店、Suds 洗车店和 Sonic 汽车餐厅外，路过那些写着“我们会永远爱你，多莉”的标牌。

在县法院外，他们再次聚集在多莉的雕像前，那里摆放着几十个粉色水桶，用来盛放粉丝们送来的无尽鲜花和便条。

他们带着黄玫瑰花束和彩色的纸板蝴蝶。汤普森（Thompson）穿着一件写着“我们信仰多莉”的衬衫。拜勒姆（Byram）戴上太阳镜以掩饰泪水。

“我今天醒来时，心情比昨天更沉重，”布拉希尔（Brashier）对着空气说道。

“怎么反而变得更糟了？”雷宁（Reinig）说。

他们一起走向那座在快乐时光里曾多次造访的雕像，彼此环抱，头靠在肩上，在沉默中伫立。

几分钟后，拜勒姆请求附近的一位陌生人帮这群朋友在多莉雕像前拍一张照片。

“你们想让全家人都拍进去吗？”那个人问。

是的，拜勒姆说。每一个人都要在里面。

“接纳，”汤普森周四在他们共同租在大烟山国家公园附近的一栋木屋门廊上说道。

他在弗吉尼亚州的小镇长大，作为一名同性恋者，他曾感到格格不入，而帕顿（Parton）坚持认为，无论如何，做你自己是没有问题的，这一点深深触动了他。

她给予的礼物

“那个信息从我很小的时候起就引起了我的共鸣，”他说。

拜勒姆的感受也差不多，他是在 20 世纪 90 年代初随父母一起第一次见到多莉的。

“她是一个如此独特的人，所以你也可以成为独特的自己，”他说。“你能感觉到她从不评判任何人。”

这个信息也传达到了 50 岁的罗尔夫那里。她记得小时候在堪萨斯州，坐在父亲的蓝色雪佛兰卡车里听帕顿的歌，并从此痴迷于她的音乐。

“我小时候非常肥胖，”她说。“而她如此包容。她就像一束阳光。”

随着童年步入成年，他们以及团体中的其他人多次前往多莉坞（Dollywood）朝圣，甚至

他们开始一起前往全国各地的演出，并且只要帕顿计划在多莉坞出现，他们几乎每次都会回到鸽子锻（Pigeon Forge）。他们接纳了经常随团旅行的罗尔夫的母亲，称她为“多莉妈妈”。

随着时间的推移，他们发现彼此的友谊愈发深厚。

当拜勒姆的母亲去世时，汤普森和罗尔夫在没有通知的情况下赶到弗吉尼亚州陪伴他。

“他们就在你需要的时候出现，”他说。“如果没有他们，生活绝对会非常痛苦。……因为有他们，我的生活完全不同了。”

几年后，当罗尔夫的母亲意外去世时，该团体的许多成员在第二天就出现在她堪萨斯州的家门口。

“我从未感到孤独，”她说。他们在彼此的生日时打电话，甚至发送 Shoney’s 的礼品卡电子邮件。他们互寄圣诞礼物。他们在分手和更换工作时互相安慰。他们维持着一个没完没了的短信群组，并且每天中午前都会确认彼此的情况。

“如果你度过了糟糕的一天，

周四晚上，在山边的木屋里，十几个热爱多莉的朋友聚集在一起，欢笑流泪，分享旧照片，并回忆他们与这位歌手的多次邂逅。

车道上的有些汽车挂着多莉主题的车牌，保险杠上贴着诸如“仅限多莉氛围（Dolly vibes only）”之类的贴纸。至少有两名参与者在手臂上纹了多莉的签名。

屋内，烤箱里正烤着多莉品牌的桃子馅饼。客厅的电视正在播放多莉马拉松——电影《钢铁木兰》（Steel Magnolias）、一部关于她职业生涯的纪录片，以及她在 Grand Ole Opry 50 周年演出的重播。房间里的几乎每个人都参加了那场演出。

“你最近怎么样？”一个人问 55 岁的金伯利·贝克-博伊尔（Kimberly Baker-Boyle）。十多年前，她与丈夫和女儿们从马里兰州搬到了东田纳西州，主要是为了离“多莉宇宙（Dollyverse）”更近一些。

“你知道，这就像失去了母亲一样，”她叹了口气说。

供应商在诉讼中称，特朗普推崇的“自由燃料”未获支付

HANNAH BEIER / 为《华盛顿邮报》拍摄

7月，该网络开始按每加仑 $3.47 收费，比市场价格每加仑低约 40 美分，而市场价格在伊朗战争期间曾大幅飙升。

诉讼称，“……未向原告支付此类燃料的费用”。

代表卡兹米（Kazmi）和 KRSM Inc. 的律师保罗·托纳（Paul Toner）告诉《邮报》，他的客户否认这些指控。他说：“这是一起关于燃料发票的账目纠纷，是曼斯菲尔德（Mansfield）定价错误导致的。”

一名白宫官员告诉《邮报》，特朗普政府与卡兹米及 KRSM Inc. “没有任何接触或交易”。

“自由燃料网络”于 6 月 25, 日正式成立，当时兰迪·布朗（Randy Brown）和约尼·贡托夫尼克（Yoni Gontownik）向特拉华州提交了公司注册文件。布朗是巴尔的摩乌鸦队的特勤组教练，自称是“一名自豪的特朗普支持者”。贡托夫尼克是一位总部位于新泽西州的投资者，此前曾在能源和商品集团 Mercuria 工作。两人均未回应置评请求。

7 月初，该网络在宾夕法尼亚州和新泽西州的 25 家加油站开始按每加仑 $3.47 收费——特朗普当时表示，这是为了向这位美国第 47 任总统致敬。据《邮报》此前报道，这比市场价格每加仑低约 40 美分，而市场价格因伊朗战争而飙升。

“一家分布在东北部、非常聪明的零售商正在采取行动”降低汽油价格，特朗普 7 月初在 Truth Social 上写道。“这家零售商正在引领潮流，其他人应该效仿。他们这样做是因为他们热爱美国。”

该诉讼于 8 月 19, 日提交至宾夕法尼亚州东区联邦地区法院，其中提到了“自由燃料”加油站因低价而获得的大量关注，但并未将该网络或加油站列为被告，也未指控其有不当行为。诉讼同样没有解释卡兹米与“自由燃料”的关系，也没有具体说明 400万美元 价值的汽油中有多少流向了该网络内的加油站。

根据公开记录，赛义德·卡兹米（Syed Kazmi）的兄弟沙米赫（Shamikh）被列为几家“自由燃料”加油站的设施运营商。

特朗普对这些加油站的推广引发了一波新闻报道，报道中引用的分析人士质疑“自由燃料”价格的可持续性。

根据《邮报》此前的一项分析，此后这些加油站的价格有所上涨，但在 8 月初仍低于竞争对手。该网络还进行了扩张，增加了 4 家加油站，使总数达到 29 家。

此前由 Politico 报道的曼斯菲尔德诉讼，是近年来针对卡兹米兄弟的一系列法律指控中的最新一起。他们及其公司因涉嫌财务不端（包括欺诈和欠债）而被起诉十多次。法院记录显示，在数起案件中，由于未能对指控做出回应，他们被判缺席败诉。

2021, 年，沙米赫·卡兹米被指控在 10 天内从一家供应商处窃取价值超过 $667,000 的燃料。去年 11 月，一名法官在缺席判决中命令他向供应商偿还款项。

诉讼称，在 5 月 21 日至 7 月 7, 日期间，KRSM Inc. 从曼斯菲尔德位于宾夕法尼亚州双橡树（Twin Oaks）的供应终端提取了约 150 车燃料。KRSM 自 2022 年起一直是曼斯菲尔德的客户，并根据一项要求在后期付款的商业信用协议提取燃料。

双橡树终端距离绝大多数“自由燃料网络”加油站在 35 英里范围内。

诉讼指控称，当 Mansfield 于 7 月 27 日尝试从 KRSM 的银行账户中提取款项时，银行告知该燃料供应商，Kazmi 的公司拒绝释放这笔资金。诉讼进一步指控，在此之后直到 8 月 10 日期间，Kazmi 在多次电话沟通中承诺将向 Mansfield 支付燃料费用。

在 8 月 25 日提交的一份声明中，Kazmi 写道，他“并不认同 Mansfield 所要求的金额是正确或欠款的”。他及其律师声称发票中存在差异，包括某些费用似乎被重复计算。

根据法院记录，负责审理此案的地区法官于周五下令，要求 Kazmi 和 KRSM 在银行账户中至少保留 $2.7500 万。

各州就一名 ICE 特工展开的争端可能开启新的政治战场

明尼苏达州要求德克萨斯州引渡涉嫌枪击移民的特工

作者：JEREMY ROEBUCK

德克萨斯州与明尼苏达州之间就一名联邦特工的引渡问题陷入僵局。该特工被指控于今年在明尼阿波利斯枪击一名移民。此次僵局揭示了一个法律灰色地带，一些专家担心，这可能会将此前常规的州际囚犯移交请求变成另一个政治战场。

上周，一名联邦法官拒绝命令德克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特将美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）特工克里斯蒂安·卡斯特罗送往明尼苏达州接受审判。该枪击事件发生在今年早些时候特朗普政府在该州开展移民执法打击行动期间。

联邦法律和美国宪法赋予州长拒绝移交在其他州被指控犯罪的囚犯请求的自由裁量权非常有限。但阿博特坚持认为，强制执行明尼苏达州引渡令的法院命令还为时过早，因为他尚未就是否执行该命令做出最终决定。

明尼苏达州当局主张，身为共和党人的阿博特在故意拖延时间，而他在处理其他任何引渡请求时都没有这样做。他们认为，阿博特在最近的一次新闻发布会上表示，在明尼苏达州的民主党领导人“承认他们在涉及公共服务的欺诈事件中的错误”之前，他不会执行引渡请求，这表明他已公开将政治因素注入本应是简单的法律行动中。

尽管美国地方法院法官费尔南多·罗德里格斯（Fernando Rodriguez Jr.）在本周的裁决中对阿博特最终拒绝明尼苏达州请求是否有法律依据表示怀疑，但法官得出结论，在州长表示他仍在权衡是否引渡期间，他没有权力干预。

“明尼苏达州不能将其诉讼理由建立在‘阿博特州长未来可能会违反 [监管州际引渡的法律]’的指控之上，”由唐纳德·特朗普总统任命的罗德里格斯写道，“它必须证明违规行为已经发生。”

宾夕法尼亚大学法学院研究员伊森·洛文斯（Ethan Lowens）表示，阿博特通过推迟对卡斯特罗的决定，正在利用州际引渡法中的一个漏洞。

监管州际引渡的法规没有规定州长做出正式决定的时间限制，这可能允许阿博特无限期地推迟决定。与此同时，卡斯特罗于周四从德克萨斯州的一所监狱被释放，因为根据该州法律，为可能引渡而扣押的逃犯最多只能被拘留 90 天。明尼苏达州官员现在表示，他们担心他会通过逃往墨西哥来逃避司法制裁。

洛文斯表示，阿博特正在开创一个危险的先例。“每年有数以万计的引渡在没有争议的情况下进行，我们通常听不到这些消息，因为它们就这么自然地发生了，”他说，“如果这些请求变成了政治足球，将对引渡逃犯的整体系统造成相当大的损害。”

随着堕胎、跨性别医疗待遇和移民等问题引发的法律争端日益分化红州和蓝州，卡斯特罗的案件并非首个引发政治摩擦的案例。

共和党人、佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯曾公开表示，当特朗普因涉及向一名成人电影女演员支付“封口费”而被州政府起诉时，他将拒绝将特朗普引渡至纽约。特朗普最终通过亲自向纽约当局投案化解了这场冲突。

近年来，由民主党领导的加利福尼亚州和纽约州均拒绝了路易斯安那州官员的请求，拒绝引渡被指控向该州女性邮寄堕胎药的医生。但这些医生并不在路易斯安那州居住或执业，且联邦法律赋予州长更大的裁量权，以决定是否引渡那些从未踏足其被指控犯罪之州的逃犯。

阿博特采取的战术是推迟而非直接拒绝引渡卡斯特罗，这使得引渡问题变得前所未有的尖锐，并可能为该国日益极化的各州之间未来的博弈设定一种模式。

卡斯特罗今年52岁，是一名驻扎在德克萨斯州哈林根的美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工，他是数百名作为特朗普政府移民执法激增行动一部分被临时派遣到明尼苏达州的警员之一。

明尼苏达州检察官表示，1月14日，卡斯特罗在与其他特工试图拘留一名涉嫌非法入境的移民时，非法地向一座明尼阿波利斯双拼住宅的门开火，击中了另一名男子胡利奥·塞萨尔·索萨-塞利斯（Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis）的腿部。

美国司法部最初指控索萨-塞利斯袭击联邦特工，部分依据是卡斯特罗及其同事声称索萨-塞利斯在枪击前袭击了他们。但联邦检察官随后撤销了这些指控，并告诉法官，视频证据与卡斯特罗对该事件的描述相矛盾。

监管ICE的美国国土安全部表示，卡斯特罗已被命令返回其在德克萨斯州的驻地，在明尼阿波利斯美国检察官办公室考虑对其提起联邦指控期间，他仍处于停职且无薪状态。

与此同时，明尼苏达州州检察官已启动自己的起诉程序，于5月指控卡斯特罗多项重罪袭击罪和一项虚报犯罪罪。他在德克萨斯州被逮捕，直到本周为止，一直被关押在德克萨斯州的一所监狱中，等待阿博特决定是否执行引渡令。

法律专家一致认为，联邦法律以及多年的最高法院先例使得阿博特在面对一名已被正式指控犯罪的个人的引渡请求时，几乎没有拒绝的空间。

美国宪法的引渡条款规定，“在任何州被指控……逃避司法，并在另一州被发现的人……应被交付，以便被移交给对该罪行具有管辖权的州。”法律专家表示，国家的创建者希望避免犯罪嫌疑人仅通过跨越州界来逃避逮捕，或与邻州不和的州拒绝遣返被通缉人员的情况。

法院对“逃避司法”的含义采取了宽泛的解释，多次得出结论认为，州政府无需证明被告是为了逃避起诉而故意逃离某州。一项有效的引渡请求仅需要该州州长提供指控副本，以及证明被寻求之人正是调查人员认为的那个人。

然而，阿博特对卡斯特罗是否算作“逃犯”表示怀疑，因为该特工返回德克萨斯州并非为了逃避起诉，而是根据美国国土安全部的命令。

这位州长表示，他已要求德克萨斯州官员调查这一法律问题，并在该审查完成之前推迟对明尼苏达州请求的决定。

“明尼苏达州可能会对该过程耗时之久感到沮丧，”德克萨斯州的律师在本月提交给法院的文件中写道，“但德克萨斯州州长不愿接受这种对美国公民宪法权利采取的草率做法。”

但即便在本周拒绝了明尼苏达州执行其引渡令的请求，负责监督该争议的法官罗德里格斯（Rodriguez）仍对阿博特（Abbott）担忧的依据表示怀疑。法官写道，一个人在州际引渡中是否被视为逃犯，“并不取决于被告离开该州的原因，而仅仅取决于他事实上是否离开了”。

罗德里格斯还表示，他意识到“阿博特州长对这一特定引渡请求的考虑时间异常之长”。

明尼苏达州检察官表示，有充分证据表明阿博特的抵制具有政治目的。

在明尼苏达州首次请求引渡卡斯特罗（Castro）回国后的几个月里，阿博特已签署了至少三份来自明尼苏达州且与此无关案件的引渡令。而本周，阿博特似乎将引渡卡斯特罗的延迟与他对明尼苏达州政治局势的担忧联系了起来。

“在他们提出要求的同时，我也有我的要求，那就是：明尼苏达州是时候挺身而出，为他们在该州利用联邦项目所犯下的所有欺诈行为向美利坚合众国和美国人民偿还了，”这位州长说道。“在他们挺身而出并做出正确之举之前，我根本不会回应他们。”

明尼苏达州官员表示，州长无权以无关的、党派性的投诉作为无视有效引渡请求的借口。

玛丽·莫里亚蒂（Mary Moriarty）是明尼苏达州亨内平县（Hennepin County）的首席检察官，也是一名当选的民主党人。她表示，阿博特的行为为其他州长铺平了道路，使他们能够无限期地无视来自政治立场不一致之州的引渡请求。

“这应该引起警觉，”她说。

军方领导人警告海格塞斯，反对延长伊朗战争行动

由国防部长发布，其中包含了军方最高将领和海军上将的见解，这些见解为五角大楼发布的指令提供了参考。

由于总统唐纳德·特朗普一直向德黑兰施压，要求其重新开放霍尔木兹海峡并接受美国提出的几项结束僵局冲突的条款，他坚称所有选项对他而言依然可行——包括进一步的军事行动。因此，负责执行伊朗战争的美国中央司令部在数月内一直保持着50,000多名士兵的警戒状态，以应对总统可能下达的追加攻击命令。

据知情人士透露，8月14日的命令簿指示部分部署在中东的部队在9月之前留在当地，部分部队则需留至2027年。这些人表示，延长这些部队部署的前景迫使军方领导人表达了他们的担忧。

据熟悉该评估的人士透露，美国欧洲司令部、美国太平洋司令部和美国南方司令部的领导人以及海军最高上将对此做出了在国防部长命令簿（SDOB）中被定性为“不赞同”（non-concur）的响应——这意味着他们不同意部长延长部队部署的命令，但仍将执行该命令。

负责监督美国在欧洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲行动的地理作战司令部，其舰船、飞机和其他设备已被抽调以支持伊朗冲突。知情人士表示，这限制了他们执行任务和确保适当训练的能力。尤其是海军，必须在极限状态下运作以满足战时需求。

这些人表示，陆军和空军领导层赞同海格塞斯延长其部署部队的意愿，但双方都强调，这样做将带来重大风险。

一名熟悉该评估的人士表示，军方领导层的总体基调是，目前的伊朗行动已进入第六个月，已经处于“时间太长，强度太大”的状态。

军方向海格塞斯发出的这一警告此前尚未被报道，它为现任政府的困境提供了新的视角：特朗普试图在有利于美国的条件下结束冲突，而伊朗意识到这场战争在大多数美国人中不受欢迎，且美国军火库的损耗日益增加，因此拒绝投降。

海格塞斯的发言人肖恩·帕内尔（Sean Parnell）在给《华盛顿邮报》的一份声明中表示：“关于向任何作战司令部承诺具体兵力的规模和持续时间的决定，是基于当前的威胁评估、总统确立的战略优先级，以及参谋长联席会议主席和作战司令官的建议而做出的。”

他补充说，五角大楼“不讨论内部运作流程”，包括国防部长命令簿，“也不讨论在兵力分配审议期间由各军种或作战司令部提供的具体赞同、不赞同或风险评估。”

国防部长命令簿还由参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩（Dan Caine）将军审阅。该主席的发言人拒绝置评，并将问题转交给海格塞斯的办公室。

命令簿是高级军方领导人提出资源担忧，并向海格塞斯提供关于获得或失去资产将如何影响其目标的评估的一种途径。

一位熟悉近期评估报告的人士表示，指挥官讨论风险是很常见的。但此人解释称，目前的整体前景“更加 dire（严峻）”，并补充说，一些将军和海军上将比往常更加详尽且坦率地告知海格塞斯，在行动轨迹仍不确定的情况下，他们不同意继续提供设备和人员的命令。

据熟悉该评估报告的人士透露，欧洲司令部和南方司令部的最高军事官员分别警告海格塞斯，将他们的舰船和侦察机出借给中央司令部，已经削弱了他们履行国土防御义务的能力。

熟悉该评估报告的人士表示，太平洋司令部司令塞缪尔·帕帕罗（Samuel Paparo）上将不同意他被命令持续提供的支持水平，其中包括一个航空母舰打击群和海军驱逐舰。

欧洲司令部的一位发言人拒绝置评。南方司令部和太平洋司令部的发言人未回应置评请求。

熟悉该评估报告的人士表示，海军作战部长达里尔·考德尔（Daryl Caudle）上将向海格塞斯提供了最悲观的图景，他在《国防部长命令簿》（SDOB）中表示，由于预计没有结束日期，海军无法维持目前对伊朗冲突的支持水平。

海军承担了极重的负担。海军被要求为伊朗战役提供数十艘舰船——起初是参与美军进攻并防御伊朗的反击，此后几个月来，则是在特朗普试图强行打开霍尔木兹海峡之际，执行他对伊朗港口的封锁。部分舰船和船员的部署时间已被延长了数月。

熟悉该评估报告的人士表示，考德尔向海格塞斯传达，海军驱逐舰舰队中仅有不到四分之一准备好部署，较战前水平大幅下降。

熟悉该评估报告的人士表示，更广泛地说，该文件指出，如果伊朗行动带来的需求保持不变，对舰船维护的影响将危及在其他冲突发生时舰队的可用性。

考德尔的一位发言人未回应置评请求。

在最近一次诺福克（Norfolk）的活动中，他谈到了部署延期的问题，称这对我们的水兵来说“极具挑战性”。

根据海军提供的发言记录，考德尔说：“我通常不喜欢延期，并且对此强烈反对，但敌人也有投票权。”

熟悉该评估报告的人士表示，尽管陆军和空军领导层同意海格塞斯目前处理伊朗冲突的路径，但他们承认这带来了挑战。

熟悉该评估报告的人士表示，陆军第82空降师曾在3月份动员2,000名士兵应对伊朗战争，该师将至少在9月之前留在中东。这些人表示，一些军事官员预计，该部队——其将成为任何对伊朗地面入侵的核心力量——的部署时间将被延长至该时间段之后。

熟悉该评估报告的人士表示，负责操作陆军“爱国者”防空系统（用于击落针对美军基地的导弹和无人机）的部队，其部署时间预计也将延长。

陆军的一位发言人未回应置评请求。

由于伊朗战争以及此前向乌克兰提供捐赠，导致“爱国者”拦截弹耗尽，这限制了特朗普政府重新升级战争的能力，因为德黑兰方面仍有能力成功攻击分布在中东各地的美国设施。

正如《华盛顿邮报》及其他媒体此前报道，伊朗战争还耗尽了美国的终端高空区域防御（THAAD）拦截弹——这不仅对保护美国在中东的资产至关重要，对地区盟友同样如此——以及远程“战斧”巡航导弹。美国国防部约 25 percent 的“死神”无人机机群已经损失，当地的美国基地遭受了数十亿美元的损失。

特朗普政府一直坚称，有关弹药短缺的报道是不准确的。

两名知情人士表示，许多被派往中东执行轰炸任务和其他全天候行动的空军单位，也计划在该地区驻留至 2027, 年。

空军以命令簿的机密性为由，拒绝发表评论。

中央司令部的一位发言人拒绝发表评论，并将问题转交给海格塞斯的办公室。

近期一些制服领导层提出的“不赞同”意见，标志着军事领导层对这场战争发出的最新警告。

正如《华盛顿邮报》及其他媒体此前报道，凯恩在敌对行动开始前曾建议白宫，美国缺乏足够的弹药以及盟友的支持来开展一场长期的规模化战役。

MARTIN BERNETTI / 正如《华盛顿邮报》本月报道，欧洲司令部负责人亚历克斯·格林克维奇将军（Gen. Alexus Grynkewich）私下警告国防部，他缺乏足够的海军力量来保护以色列和美国本土免受导弹袭击。

在太平洋地区，美国的主要盟友已发出警报，称国防部导弹和防空拦截弹的耗尽使他们容易受到中国的威胁。海军在太平洋地区唯一的一艘专用航空母舰是军方威慑北京计划的基石，但该舰已被派往中东，以接替另一艘已部署超过 300 天的航母。

海格塞斯于 8 月 13 在巴拿马从“格里德利号”驱逐舰（USS Gridley）上下船。

阿博特拦截德克萨斯州 Flock 摄像机资金，两党愤怒情绪酝酿中

车牌识别系统 不受欢迎， 政客们正意识到这一点

作者：DANIELLE PAQUETTE

共和党人和民主党人曾将 Flock Safety 赞誉为保护美国社区的工具。而现在，涵盖整个政治光谱的政客们正转向反对这种大规模监控技术。

德克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特（Greg Abbott，共和党）上周冻结了州政府在这些在全国范围内激增的鞋盒大小摄像机上的支出。

就在《德克萨斯论坛报》（Texas Tribune）发表一项调查，探讨一家州政府机构如何投入至少 3000万美元 来扩大这些备受争议的自动车牌扫描仪的覆盖范围之前，纳税人的资金流被截断了。

“整个德克萨斯州正在开展整治行动，”阿博特的发言人安德鲁·马哈莱里斯（Andrew Mahaleris）在的一份声明中表示。

关于当局滥用 Flock 网络的报告引发了强烈的抵制。该网络在除阿拉斯加州以外的每个州拥有 120,000 台摄像机。批评者断言，这些旨在打击犯罪的设备一旦落入不法之徒手中，太容易被用于跟踪或监视。阿博特的办公室重点提到了一起发生在东德克萨斯州卢夫金市（Lufkin）的案件，一名警察在数千次搜索其前女友的车牌号码后被起诉犯有重罪。

与耗能巨大的数据中心一样，这些机器人追踪器变得越来越不受欢迎，随着中期选举临近，这引发了关于在美国负责任地使用人工智能的激烈辩论。抗议者破坏了他们斥为“老大哥”的 Flock 摄像机，而网络恶作剧者则在摄像机前跳舞，以一种较为轻松的病毒式嘲讽方式进行抗议。

与此同时，阿博特的办公室表示，该技术集中在人口密集地区，且主要由联邦政府资助。

“德克萨斯州几乎所有的 Flock 摄像机都由城市使用，而这些城市正越来越多地取消与 Flock 的合同，”州长新闻秘书在声明中表示。

竞选州长的民主党候选人吉娜·希诺霍萨（Gina Hinojosa）本月发布了一则广告，批评她的对手允许 10,000 台监控设备追踪德克萨斯州居民的行踪。

“在格雷格·阿博特的德克萨斯州，不需要搜查令！”旁白轻快地说道。

Flock 的官员告诉《华盛顿邮报》，滥用该技术的人在其 140,000 名活跃用户中仅占极小一部分，且公司提供了旨在防止未经授权活动的培训指南。他们表示，该系统的构建是为了帮助警方抓捕违法者。

然而，不法分子利用了漏洞。《邮报》的一项分析发现，当局已指控或指责至少 50 名执法人员出于非公务原因使用车牌识别器，包括跟踪女性。全国数十个城市已经关闭了这些设备。

右翼和左翼的候选人都在利用这种反 Flock 的情绪。

“‘老大哥’在孤星之州没有立足之地，”在德克萨斯州竞选连任的共和党众议员基思·塞尔夫（Keith Self）最近在 Instagram 上发帖称。

密歇根州一名进步派参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德（Abdul El-Sayed）在 TikTok 帖子中也引用了科幻恐怖元素，将 Flock 描述为“盯着你一举一动的小摄像机，在你毫无察觉的情况下收集关于你的信息”。

参议员乔什·霍利（Josh Hawley，密苏里州共和党）已对 Flock 发起调查，并敦促该公司披露谁可以访问其系统捕获的内容。参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders，佛蒙特州独立人士）已承诺提出一项禁止 AI 监控的立法。

与此同时，德克萨斯州的抵制情绪一直在稳步酝酿。本月，该州的一位共和党农业专员敦促阿博特在采取更多保障措施之前，停止投资自动车牌识别器。

“任何守法的德克萨斯州人都不应该在公共道路上行驶时，就被纳入数字排队审查，”西德·米勒在为《休斯顿纪事报》撰写的一篇评论文章中写道。“任何母亲都不应该担心她的上学路线是否被记录在政府的数据库中。”

加州监管机构仓促决定允许无人驾驶卡车上路，诉讼指称其违规

作者：CAROLINE PETROW-Cohen 《洛杉矶时报》

随着自动驾驶车辆在全国范围内普及，加州一个主要的劳工工会正采取行动，反对那些声称自动驾驶卡车已准备好上路的州监管机构。

本月早些时候，加州卡车司机工会（Teamsters California）起诉了加州车辆管理局（DMV），原因是 DMV 决定取消对重量超过 10,001 磅的自动驾驶车辆的禁令。

DMV 在 4 月份公布了新规，以及相关的认证要求，规定必须在安全驾驶员陪同下进行测试，且在每个认证阶段需行驶 500,000 英里。

代表加州数十个行业 250,000 名工人的卡车司机工会表示，他们担心这将如何影响驾驶员的工作和安全。该工会称，DMV 在未考虑影响或听取公众意见的情况下，就批准了重型无人驾驶车辆。

“我们不会在他们将工作岗位以及街道和道路安全置于风险之中时坐视不管，”加州卡车司机工会共同主席彼得·芬恩（Peter Finn）在一次采访中表示。“从 Waymo 的经验来看，很明显这些自动驾驶车辆无法处理不可预见的情况，因此我们绝对要对 26,000 磅的车辆以 65 英里每小时的速度在高速公路上疾驰所带来的危险发出警告。”

芬恩指出了自动驾驶车辆阻碍急救人员救援的实例，以及去年旧金山的一次停电导致 Waymo 出租车停摆并卡在路上的事件。

“只要出任何一点问题，系统就会完全崩溃，”芬恩说。

加州 DMV 表示，无法对正在进行的诉讼发表评论。在 4 月份的一份声明中，DMV 局长史蒂夫·戈登（Steve Gordon）表示，更新后的法规“进一步证明了该州对公共安全的承诺”，并“通过增强公共安全和透明度，同时增加自动驾驶车辆制造商的额外问责制，来支持自动驾驶行业的发展”。

旧金山大学“自动驾驶车辆与城市倡议”主任威廉·里格斯（William Riggs）表示，DMV 在采用新规之前，经历了一年多的提案、公开听证会和修订。

“说这个决定太仓促了，在某种程度上是对历史的歪曲，”他说。“这是一个漫长且拖延的过程。我们不会看到公司在明天就让数千辆自动驾驶卡车涌入道路。”

卡车司机工会起诉 DMV 的核心主张是，监管机构未能对政策变动的经济和实际影响完成广泛研究，从而违反了《加州行政程序法》。

代表卡车司机工会的 Bush Gottlieb 律师事务所合伙人朱莉·迪金森（Julie Dickinson）表示，根据该法案，对于预计一年内给该州带来经济成本或收益超过 5000万美元 的任何政策变动，机构必须进行所谓的标准化监管影响评估。

迪金森表示，预计 DMV 新规在第一年的真实成本将超过 2.8亿美元。

“加州人有权知道其经济影响，”迪金森在采访中说。

“DMV 掩盖真相，其行为是不负责任、粗心且违法的。”

加州是最大的货运卡车市场之一，雇佣了超过 130,000 名驾驶员。

加州及其他州的少数几家公司正致力于部署自动驾驶卡车进行货运，包括总部位于山景城的 Kodiak AI 和总部位于旧金山的 Humble Robotics。

Humble Robotics 创始人兼首席执行官埃亚尔·科恩（Eyal Cohen）表示，他不认为自动驾驶卡车会在短期内取代人类驾驶员。

卡车司机工会对此持有不同意见。

“自动驾驶车辆，尤其是自动驾驶重型卡车，是对驾驶岗位的生存威胁，”芬恩说。“这不仅对我们的会员至关重要，对加州的经济和我们的当地社区也同样重要。”

迪金森表示，国际卡车司机工会（Teamsters）的法律请愿旨在要求法院撤销车辆管理局（DMV）修订后的法规，直到经济研究完成并咨询公众意见为止。

“就业岗位的损失是巨大的，但数百万加利福尼亚州人的安全也处于危险之中，”她说道。

里格斯则表示，由于人类卡车司机安全记录的不稳定性——例如在驾驶时睡着、分心或处于受损状态——这削弱了国际卡车司机工会关于安全性的论点。他补充说，自动货运具有创造新就业岗位的潜力。

“已有大量研究表明，随着更多卡车和车辆实现自动化，在开展车队运营、维护和物流方面存在着充足的路径，”他说道。

“我们已经大幅削减了这种情况。”

本周，一项被认为是最具权威性的新科学研究再次将改革这项运动的紧迫需求推向了严苛的聚光灯下。研究显示，近年来去世的前 NFL 球员中，至少有四分之一（可能更多）患有 CTE（慢性创伤性脑病），这是一种与重复性头部撞击相关的退行性脑疾病。该研究指出，导致疾病的是累积的小规模撞击而非重大创伤，这立即重启了关于儿童（或成年人）是否以及何时应该参与美式足球（tackle football）的争论，并威胁到该项运动近期回升的势头。

在经历了十年的下滑后，全美美式足球的参与度在近年来开始回升。根据体育与健身工业协会（Sports & Fitness Industry Association）的数据，6 岁及以上参与美式足球的儿童比例从 2021 年到 2024 年有所上升，回到了 2014 年的水平。全美州高中协会联合会（National Federation of State High School Associations）的调查显示，高中球员的总数已从 2018 年的低点反弹，达到了十年前的水平。

教练们列举了几个可能的原因。对于在疫情封锁期间被困在室内的那一代孩子来说，这项运动提供了在学年开始前与新朋友建立联系的机会。在孤独感和碎片化严重的时代，足球承诺了社区感，甚至是部落主义。对于越来越多的年轻运动员来说，关于姓名、形象和肖像（NIL）的交易协议，可能只是微薄的收入，也可能是改变生活的稳定收入流。而且，没有哪项运动能提供比这更高的文化影响力。

但最重要的是，球员、家长和教练相信，足球运动的变革已经降低了其风险。

“教学方式变得更安全了，”北加州常年强队德拉萨尔高中（De La Salle High School）的主教练贾斯汀·阿伦鲍（Justin Alumbaugh）表示，“作为一名家长，这减轻了很多恐惧。”

不久前，人们对足球长期后果的担忧似乎严重到足以挑战这项运动作为美国最受欢迎游戏的至高地位。从 2000 年代中期开始，多项研究在曾遭受抑郁、记忆力减退、冲动控制障碍、情绪调节问题及其他心理健康问题的前足球运动员大脑中发现了 CTE（慢性创伤性脑病）。有些人到 30 或 40 岁时就出现了与痴呆相关的症状。有些人则自杀或杀害他人。

神经学家建议儿童在至少进入高中之前不要参与美式足球。2013 年，波普·华纳（Pop Warner）联赛的参与人数在 80 年来首次下降。《华盛顿邮报》在 2023 年的一项分析发现，虽然地理、种族和政治因素导致该项运动参与度的下降程度不一，但多年来其下滑趋势显而易见。

教练们感受到了这种影响。即使在热爱足球的佐治亚州，布福德高中（Buford High School）的主教练布莱恩特·阿普林（Bryant Appling）也表示，他在“2010 年代初期看到了（参与人数的）轻微下降”，直到“过去几年”才有所回升。德拉萨尔高中的阿伦鲍记得，当时报名参加学校著名足球队的学生在减少，以至于他的工作人员讨论过将新生队和预备队合并。“那时情况变得有点令人担忧了，”他说。

医学专家仍在试图全面了解美式足球所造成的伤害规模。本周发表在《英国医学杂志》上的一项里程碑式研究涵盖了 878 名在 2016 年至 2021 年间去世的前球员。该研究基于对 338 名足球运动员的死后大脑检查，其中 90% 以上显示出慢性创伤性脑病（CTE）的迹象。

由于捐献大脑的球员更有可能曾遭受脑病症状的困扰，研究人员推断，该研究中的球员患有 CTE 的比例在 25% 到 97% 之间。他们表示，真实数字可能在两者之间。

研究对象中最年轻的人在 2010 年代进入联盟，他们是最后一批在旧体制下成长起来的橄榄球战士。只要无法在人活着的时候诊断出 CTE，这项运动的风险在实时状态下就依然是一个谜。

但教练、球员和家长有理由保持乐观。当这项运动的感觉已经发生了如此剧烈的变化，它怎么可能不变得更安全呢？

Alumbaugh 表示，这次反思“鼓励我们评估自己的做法”，“它不仅引导了自我反省，还引导了对文化的反思”。

Alumbaugh 说，也许教练不应该因为球员“出界而没能多争取一码”而对他大发雷霆。“现在的比赛中多了一点理智。最好的情况是什么，他能多赢得三英寸？还是他受伤？”

在 Alumbaugh 看到一段教学视频后，德拉萨学校（De La Salle）的防守队员开始改变擒抱方式。视频中，皮特·卡罗尔（Pete Carroll）教练演示了西雅图海鹰队掌握并取得巨大成功的橄榄球式技术——用肩膀而非头部领先。

“那是西雅图非常出色的防守，而且，他们确实在这么做，”Alumbaugh 说，“如果你想认真对待这个职业，你就必须研究其他想法和更好的方法。我们尝试了这种方法，并发现脑震荡病例有所减少。”

他表示，他的球队去年发生了两起脑震荡，比棒球队还少。今年，该项目大约有 160 名球员，比几年前的最低点增加了约 30 人。

足球文化往往由上而下地渗透。当联盟禁止那些曾经出现在精彩集锦中的撞击方式时，球队便训练球员去避免此类行为。Hart 说：“即使你是一个不在乎安全的教练，你也会在乎那 15 码的罚码。”

他描述了一种“渐进式”的演变，这种演变来自于“我们作为专业人士所学到知识的增加”。在现任教练辈成长期间，美式足球中没有比“强悍”更高的美德，而传统观念认为，球员承受的痛苦越多，就越能应对这项运动残酷的严苛要求。

而弊端在于：“你最好的球员会在训练中受伤，”Hart 说，“如果你是一个有意识的教练，你会思考，我们本可以做些什么来防止这种情况发生？”

Hart 是唯一一位在三所不同学校赢得印第安纳州冠军的教练。他说，在与那些优先考虑效率而非重复训练的大学教练交流，并观看库尔特·西格内蒂（Curt Cignetti）指导的印第安纳州训练后，他开始重新思考如何开展训练。Hart 将训练时间从两个半小时缩减至 90 分钟。他禁止了擒抱，将训练重点放在角度和定位上。

“一切都围绕休息而构建，”他说，“我们在流程中投入了极大量的时间用于恢复，这样我们在发力时才能全力以赴。”

在现任佐治亚州冠军布福德高中（Buford High School），球员在练习时佩戴带有缓冲垫的 Guardian Caps 头盔，并佩戴追踪其动作的 GPS 传感器。Appling 表示，如果一名顶尖球员的移动距离达到某个阈值，从而增加了肌肉拉伤的风险，他会指示该球员“在训练的后半段休息”，而他当年高中的教练“绝不会这么说”。

“你读的书越多，看到的研究越多，你就会反思之前的做法，”执教超过25年且有两个初中儿子的阿普林（Appling）说道。“在我成长的时候，我简直不敢相信自己现在会做这些事情，但这确实有道理。”

他说，如今球员的运动轨迹“比25年前要高得多”。

在美式足球（tackle football）中，你只能在一定程度上降低风险，否则它就不再是美式足球了。最剧烈的击倒性撞击可能反映了这项运动最残酷的一面，但运动医学专家发现，慢性创伤性脑病（CTE）的主要诱因是大多数球员无法避免的亚震荡撞击的累积。

卡尔·埃利希（Carl Ehrlich）记得在哈佛大学担任防守线锋的最后一年之前，第一次听说那些早期研究。在激烈的对抗中，他每次出击都会发生头盔碰撞。“每次训练我都会看到眼前冒金星，”他说。直到赛季结束后，他才尝试去思考“所有这些亚震荡撞击”的影响。

几年后的2014年，埃利希在华盛顿特区大都会区创立了一个青少年腰旗橄榄球（flag football）联赛。第一年大约有160名孩子报名，第二年超过300名，而今年大约有7,000名，其中包括约2,000名女孩。在过去十年中，在6至12岁的儿童中，腰旗橄榄球的人气已超过了美式足球。

埃利希表示，对于许多父母来说，这是一种将热爱橄榄球的孩子从美式足球中“分流”出来的方法，让他们在无需冒脑外伤风险的情况下探索对这项运动的兴趣。

“八年前，把孩子送去打美式足球的想法就像在餐厅抽烟一样被视为禁忌，”埃利希说，而且他不确定这种情况是否能在不丧失运动吸引力的情况下改变。但随着比赛变得更安全，他的观点发生了转变。

“当规则开始改变时，你内心的一部分会担心这会破坏这项运动的纯洁性，”他说。“在过去的10年里，我感到很惊讶。比赛本质没变，而且事实证明，你并不需要所有那些剧烈且危险的碰撞。”

当家长询问他的建议时，身为幼子之父的埃利希告诉他们，如果是他的孩子，“我会让他们在小学阶段一直打腰旗橄榄球，然后也许在七年级和八年级让他们在进入高中前尝试一年美式足球，”他说。

根据一项对青少年体育数据的分析，与十年前相比，参加任何有组织体育活动的儿童百分比全面下降。美式足球的萎缩程度超过了篮球和足球，但低于棒球和排球。增长最快的两项运动是个人运动：网球和高尔夫。

腰旗橄榄球是过去五年中唯一参与率增长的团队运动。根据全美州高中协会（National Federation of State High School Associations）收集的数据，在过去十年中，参加高中腰旗橄榄球的女孩人数从约11,000人增加到68,000人，几乎正好抵消了美式足球男孩球员的流失。将腰旗橄榄球和美式足球合并计算，参加高中橄榄球运动的孩子数量比2009年以来的任何时间点都要多。

“人们原以为腰旗橄榄球会抢走美式足球的人员，”埃利希说，“但它实际上为这项运动整体带来了更多的人。”

他指出，最优秀的男孩腰旗橄榄球运动员通常会转向美式足球。即使在本周的研究结果出炉后，他预计这种情况仍将持续。

“美式足球正在慢慢回归，”埃利希说。“人们对此变得更加坦然了。”

部落反击：关税威胁生计

在冰川国家公园的向阳大道旁，洛根山口附近的群山之下，野花盛开。

（接 A1 页关税报道）

在这样一个已有三分之一居民生活在贫困线以下的社区，随着关税僵局升级，人们发现支付房贷、购买食品和加油变得更加困难。该部落约有 10,000 名成员，其保留地横跨蒙大拿州西北部的 150 万 英亩土地，其中大多数成员拥有或就职于依赖跨境贸易和旅游业的企业。

另一位牧场主乔纳森·圣戈达德（Jonathan St. Goddard）为在加拿大购买的一个拖拉机车轮额外支付了数百美元。共同经营一家房车和帐篷营地的夫妇杰基·康威（Jackie Conway）和史蒂夫·康威（Steve Conway）发现预订量大幅下降。而大卫·芒廷奇夫（David Mountain Chief）和朗达·芒廷奇夫（Rhonda Mountain Chief）在国际游客和预订消失后，曾考虑关闭他们将徒步者、露营者和登山者送往冰川国家公园的出租车服务。

一年前，史密斯、圣戈达德、康威夫妇以及芒廷奇夫夫妇起诉了特朗普政府，指控关税违反了宪法赋予他们的财产所有权，并无视了他们作为部落的自治权——这一权利在一部几乎与美国历史一样悠久的条约中得到了长期保证。根据《华盛顿邮报》对数千份法院记录的分析，他们的案件是激增的私人公民诉讼中的一个，这些诉讼指控特朗普对政府和私营部门激进的重塑破坏了他们的核心公民自由。

该部落的诉讼请求法院立即停止执行关税，但三名法官以管辖权问题为由驳回了此案。这一决定使得史密斯和其他黑脚族成员不得不面对特朗普关税带来的第二个夏天，而这对他们的生活和生计产生的影响随着每个月的流逝而日益加深。

在被问及该部落的诉讼和担忧时，白宫发言人库什·德赛（Kush Desai）在电子邮件声明中写道：“现实是，数十年来不公平的贸易安排损害了全美各地的工人、农民和企业。”他补充说，特朗普“致力于每个美国人的繁荣与福祉，这包括美国原住民社区”。

当韦恩·史密斯在思考如何修理他的拖拉机时，总统和他的诉讼离他的脑海很远。在卡车的座位上，史密斯能看到邻居的农场。他知道兰迪·海恩斯（Randy Haynes）使用了大量凯斯纽荷兰（Case IH）的机械，可能有备件，于是他拨通了电话。“醒着吗？”史密斯说，“别撒谎，你可能在打盹。……听着，你那儿有接头吗？需要那个带尖端的小接头。”

海恩斯说，他谷仓里的某个地方可能存着能用的东西。

“看了才知道能不能用，”史密斯说，“我就往那边走，看看我们有没有合适的。”

他拍了拍车轮。“如果没有……我也不知道。”

前一天，大卫·芒廷奇夫坐在他那辆下陷的白色面包车里，等待着他安排去格拉尼特公园（Granite Park）起点接的一对德克萨斯州夫妇，那里距离冰川国家公园有一小时车程。

他们迟到了。他停靠的停车场——位于向阳大道的一处风景优美的弯道旁——在这样的日子里本该挤满车辆。

但许多车位是空的。 芒廷奇夫（67, 岁）能看到的山下大多数观景台也是如此。在他身边，妻子朗达（65, 岁）在腿上摊开一本螺旋笔记本，那本书也空了一半。她用这本黑本子记录客户的预订情况。

丈夫斯科特（Scott）踉跄着出现在视线中。深色的汗渍勾勒出绑在他胸前的 .44 Magnum 左轮手枪的轮廓。在卢德盖特（Ludgate）夫妇登上面包车时，他解释说，这是他防御灰熊的最后一道防线。她是一名学校教师，他是一名陆军退伍军人。

“我也是，”大卫·芒廷-奇夫（David Mountain Chief）说道，提到他也参加过“沙漠之盾”和“沙漠风暴”行动。随着面包车开始在山间蜿蜒前行，这对夫妇聊起了其他共同点，比如建立在相互包容基础上的长久婚姻。就这样，总统的话题进入了对话。

他将目光从占据了六月、七月和八月的空白白色方格上移开。

是特朗普的错，他想。

“你们是来接徒步旅行者的吗？”一名女子踉跄着走过来，自我介绍叫辛西娅·卢德盖特（Cynthia Ludgate）。她说，她原以为这条环线是11 miles，但她的手表显示是15. Her husband had fallen behind. 她跑完了最后一英里，担心芒廷-奇夫夫妇不会等她。

“我们的座右铭是‘我们支持你’，”隆达·芒廷-奇夫（Rhonda Mountain Chief）说着，将卢德盖特紧紧拥在怀里。“如果我们丢下你，就不能叫支持你了。”

“我是坚定的保守派，非常支持特朗普，”辛西娅·卢德盖特说。她将肩膀向丈夫那边倾斜了一下：“不过他在这一点上可能会有异议。”

“我三次都投给了他，”她的丈夫说。“尽管如此，我是否同意那个男人所做的一切？”他耸了耸肩。

“我想我只是习惯了在大城市生活的人，”卢德盖特说着，擦掉眼泪，而她的

隆达·芒廷-奇夫看了看那把枪，又看了看辛西娅佩戴的银十字架。她猜测，这可能不是最容易接受的听众，但她还是决定告诉他们关于她起诉总统的事。“你不能在不确定性中经营生意，”她说，此时面包车喘着粗气开到了洛根山口（Logan Pass）的顶端。

对于隆达来说，几个她从未见过的法官以她认为的“技术性原因”驳回了她的诉讼，这并不重要。对她而言，现在的主张与起诉之初一样真实。而每一组乘客都给了她另一个陈述理由的机会。

她现在告诉卢德盖特夫妇，十年前，她和丈夫创立了芒廷-奇夫出租车公司，负责在步道起点、酒店和东冰川（East Glacier）火车站之间接送游客。她要求客户在指南手册上签上他们的家乡，因为她喜欢阅读那些她从未去过的地方的名字：茂宜岛。布宜诺斯艾利斯。丹麦。苏格兰。菲律宾。

隆达解释说，出租车服务是芒廷-奇夫夫妇的主要收入来源，当面包车经过另一个人烟稀少的观景点时，她避开了目光。他们在五月到九月之间赚到的钱——在行情好的一年里是$50,000, ——必须覆盖四个孩子的伙食和衣服，照顾隆达生病的哥哥，以及帮助他们庞大家族中的其他成员支付学校衣服、牙套和就医等费用。她说，这不仅仅是一门生意。这对夫妇利用长途驾驶向游客讲述黑脚族的历史，讲述与冰川国家公园的湖泊和山脉交织在一起的故事。考古学家认为，该部落已在此生活了数千年，而黑脚族将其称为“世界之脊”。

但特朗普的关税，以及

随后国际旅游业的下滑，威胁要毁掉这一切，隆达告诉这些德克萨斯人。在特朗普第二个总统任期的第一年，前往美国的外国游客减少了6 percent，其中加拿大游客下降了25 percent。冰川国家公园的旅游业——联邦政府曾计算其价值5,700 jobs and 5.5亿美元 to the local economy ——在经历了十多年的基本增长后，访问量下降了近100,000次。“我没有外国游客了，今年我只有德国人，”她说。“其他人都去哪儿了？”

在转过一个像手肘一样急的弯道时，那辆在13年服役期内行驶里程已超过156,000英里的面包车发出了一声不悦的金属撞击声。大卫·山酋（David Mountain Chief）再次想到了山酋家族在两个月前申请的那笔56,000美元的私人贷款，他们申请这笔钱是为了买一辆新车。如果钱还没到账面包车就坏了，他不知道他们该如何维持这项出租车服务。

在后座上，斯科特·卢德盖特（Scott Ludgate）正点头表示赞同。他再次表示，他不认同特朗普所做的一切。“我的意思是，拆掉白宫的一部分。为什么不关注一些真正更重要的事情？”

“这太可悲了，” Rhonda 说，“我不明白一个没有心的人怎么能领导我们的国家。”

她看向辛西娅，而辛西娅望着窗外，双唇紧闭。

沉默持续了六秒钟。

她是个好女人，隆达告诉自己。而且她正在度假。

“希望我们能看到熊，”隆达说，转移了话题，“你们在那边看到灰熊或者其他什么了吗？”

蒙坦酋长一家将卢德盖特夫妇送到了他们的营地，两人以拥抱告别，但没有再次提及特朗普或那场诉讼。

半英里外，位于公园边缘的冰川之心（Heart of Glacier）露营地，康威夫妇意识到他们的夏天已经令人失望。

他们在前台办公室的电脑前凑在一起，核对着数据。预订量已连续第二个季度下降。

去年，在特朗普实施关税后的第一个夏天，他们四栋小屋和 35 个停车营地的预订量下降了 10%，导致他们损失了 $20,000. 康威夫妇认为，大多数下降来自加拿大人——这些人对总统吹嘘要将他们的国家变成第 51 个州的言论感到愤怒。

今年夏天的情况看起来更糟。在最繁忙季节开始近两周后，平均每晚有五个营位空置，这意味着每天损失 $250。他们 15 年前开设冰川之心露营地，是为了给舒适的退休生活筹集资金。从那时起，在 6 月底到 8 月底的 60 天里，康威夫妇的营地一直处于满员状态。

直到现在。

“这可能是多种因素共同作用的结果，”史蒂夫·康威说着，推回他的“拉斯维加斯（VEGAS）”棒球帽以抓挠额头，“你知道，他们现在向 16 岁及以上的外国人额外收取 $100 来这里。”

史蒂夫是一位 77 岁的退伍军人和前医院维护工人，他指的是特朗普今年实施的一项新政策，要求来自其他国家的游客在全美 11 个最热门的公园支付 $100 的附加费。特朗普政府官员声称，这项费用确保了外国游客为公园维护贡献“公平的份额”。

69 岁的退休教师杰基在史蒂夫说话时点了点头。“我以为是按车收取的。结果是按人收，”她说，“每人额外 $100。”

一名妇女走进办公室，结清了账单，并报告台灯有一个灯泡坏了。一名男子跟在她后面，请求将住宿延长到周日，并询问是否可以使用 4 号水龙头。

史蒂夫等到他们离开后才开口。“关于关税的另一件事，”他对妻子说，“它似乎在某种程度上分裂了我们。”

他指的是他们住在加拿大边境的朋友，康威夫妇长期以来一直认为那条边境线毫无意义。

史蒂夫是黑脚族部落成员，在保留地出生并长大。杰基的父母在冰川之心露营地对面山顶上建造了那家汽车旅馆。他们从小就习惯每月两次前往加拿大——参加牛仔竞技赛，看望朋友，以及在后来的岁月里，观看孙辈们的马术比赛。

但自从特朗普开启第二个任期以来，他们几乎没见过加拿大的朋友。也没有人来拜访他们。

“很多人不想过来，是因为……”史蒂夫在没有点名总统的情况下停了下来，“他们拿我们的政府开玩笑。”

杰基点了点头。“感觉不再像是一个开放的边境了。”

“我不后悔，”史蒂夫缓慢地说，但听起来有点像是在疑问。

他的妻子意识到，这是康威夫妇几个月来一直在进行的同一场对话的开始。她知道，史蒂夫在谈论他们失败的诉讼。他想知道：这一切是否都毫无意义？

一年多以前，康威夫妇走进位于布朗宁的黑脚保留地赌场。他们在那里会见一名女性，她驱车四小时带来了一台小型激光打印机，此时正将其安置在食堂用餐区的一张灰色折叠桌上。

她解释说，自己叫莫妮卡·特拉内尔（Monica Tranel），是一名来自米苏拉的律师。她此前已同意代表康威夫妇的一些朋友（此时也围坐在桌旁）提起诉讼，挑战特朗普的关税政策。她是通过蒙大拿州参议员苏珊·韦伯（Susan Webber，民主党-布朗宁）找到他们的，韦伯是首位签署该诉讼的人，决心捍卫她的选民。特拉内尔说，现在她是为了寻找更多受到关税负担的黑脚族男女而来的。她指了指身边的机器说，她会将他们的故事记录下来并打印出来，然后将其加入到诉讼中。

潜在的原告们听着特拉内尔解释，特朗普的关税在三个方面是违法的。首先，这些关税违反了美国宪法，宪法规定只有国会而非总统拥有“监管与外国国家……以及与印第安部落贸易”的权力。其次，这些关税侵犯了部落成员根据第五修正案享有的权利，即在未经正当法律程序的情况下不得被剥夺财产。

但特拉内尔说，最重要的是，这些关税违反了《杰伊条约》（Jay Treaty）。

康威夫妇和其他人点头表示认同：他们知道那是什麽。他们从小就听说过 1794 年美国与英国之间达成的这项协议。这意味着他们可以无需护照，仅凭部落身份卡就进入有数千名其他黑脚族居住的加拿大——而且在跨境运输货物时，他们永远不应支付“任何形式的税款或关税”。

特拉内尔说，虽然还有其他针对关税的诉讼在进行，但没有其他人提出这一论点，因为几乎没有其他人能提出。

“这是一个你们可以提出的独特主张，”特拉内尔说，“你们拥有这个权力。”

特拉内尔说，如果她能向人们展示关税给黑脚族带来了多少伤害，政府就很难驳回他们的诉讼。

于是，牧场主乔纳森·圣戈达德（Jonathan St. Goddard）讲述了他试图在加拿大购买一个 1,200 美元的拖拉机轮毂，结果却因为关税而面临额外 300 美元的费用。山地酋长（Mountain Chiefs）和康威夫妇谈到了每年夏天通常会来参观冰川国家公园的数千名外国人，尤其是加拿大人。轮到牧场主韦恩·史密斯（Wayne Smith）时，他说在赌场会面前几天，加拿大的一位客户试图进口一批原价应为 5,500 美元的谷物，结果在加拿大那边被征收了 1,375 美元的关税。现在，买家不想要剩下的谷物了。

特拉内尔连续输入了近四个小时。最后，她打印了五份文件——每位原告一份——概述了与关税相关的损害，部落成员在上面签了字。

随着案件的推进，特拉内尔通过 Facebook Messenger、短信和电子邮件向部落成员更新进展。起初，随着新闻媒体报道这起诉讼，人们感到很兴奋。

随后，联邦检察官成功申请将案件从蒙大拿州地区法院移交给美国国际贸易法院。特拉内尔认为这一决定等同于死刑。国际贸易法院位于 2,300 英里外的纽约，部落成员根本负担不起前往那里的旅费。更糟糕的是，她主张，该法院没有权力审理黑脚族案件所依赖的那类美国宪法主张。她向第九巡回法院提起上诉，案件在那里搁置了 10 个月。

随后在 2 月下旬，部落成员打开了特拉内尔发来的一封电子邮件。附件是一个 PDF 文件，包含一份来自上诉法院的两句话裁决书。

“法院因缺乏管辖权而驳回了我们的案件，”特拉内尔写道，这与此前最高法院的一项决定一致，“我感到很失望。”

隆达·芒廷-奇夫（Rhonda Mountain Chief）在办事时看到了这封邮件，但她等到回家后才告诉丈夫。大卫当时正俯身在一张地图前更新夏季的步道路线，他摇了摇头。隆达记得他之前在谈到关税时说过：“看来这事儿没完。”“它依然在那儿。”

史密斯也得出了同样令人沮丧的结论。现在他必须继续面对所有同样的问题，而且再也没有法律救济的希望了。但参议员韦伯（Webber）感到一种熟悉的愤怒在心中升起。

“他们只是拍拍我们的头，说‘噢，好吧’，就好像我们的声音毫无意义一样，”她在一次采访中回忆道。“我们太习惯于这种对待了，习惯于觉得自己无关紧要。……我原以为至少我们能有机会在法庭上陈述自己的诉求。”

杰基·康威（Jackie Conway）记得当时她和丈夫坐在客厅里，消化被驳回的消息。当落日将冰川国家公园的山脉染成紫色时，这对夫妇在争论这次诉讼是否值得如此费力。

随后，她给了史蒂夫一个答案，而这个答案在四个月后，也就是七月的一天，在他们露营地的前台办公室里，她再次给出了。

“我并没有幻想我们所做的一切真的能产生什么影响，”她告诉他，“但至少我们挺身而出了。”

韦恩·史密斯的手机屏幕显示 4:10 p.m.，此时他将皮卡车停在了兰迪·海恩斯（Randy Haynes）的农舍前。

当他爬出车外时，烈日从万里无云的天空中灼烧着他的肩膀，像是一种责备：为什么他还没开始收割干草？

他跟着海恩斯走进了一个旧飞机库，海恩斯将其改造成了机械和备件的仓库。

库房里从墙到墙地摆满了落灰的工具、卷曲的黄色电线和装满金属零件的箱子。海恩斯戴着一顶“CASE IH”棒球帽，手臂在房间里划了一个半圆。

“可能就在这儿，”他说，俯身在其中一个箱子里翻找。

史密斯再次感谢海恩斯的帮忙。他说自己试过很多当地商店，但都没有运气。海恩斯说他并不惊讶。

“我以前经常去加拿大买很多零件，因为这附近的地方没有，”他说，“就在边境对面的牛奶河（Milk River）有一个极好的经销商”——史密斯知道，他指的是洛基山设备公司（Rocky Mountain Equipment）。

海恩斯说，现在他所有的维修都在美国国内完成，但这里的一切似乎比以前更贵。他抱怨道，前几天有一家店试图收他 $180 来做一个微小的修复。

“总的来说，你现在支付的费用比一年前要高，”史密斯说着，也向房间里比划了一下，“所有这些东西。”

“噢，天呐，没错，”海恩斯说。

通常情况下，史密斯不会和海恩斯谈论政治，因为他知道海恩斯三次都投票给了特朗普。他觉得两人只会产生分歧，而这样做又有什么意义？

但今天感觉像是一个机会。

“我一直没告诉你，”史密斯说，他参加了一场针对总统关税政策的诉讼。

海恩斯嗤之以鼻。“噢，是吗？”他说另一位住在边境旁边的邻居最近尝试在加拿大买一个拖拉机零件。“那是个 $5,000 的零件，而关税——噢，我的天，简直惊人。太糟糕了。”

他走到史密斯面前，递给他一个顶端呈尖锥形、沾满泥土的接头。

“就是我说的那个，”史密斯说。

“我帮你把它冲洗干净，”海恩斯说着，伸手去拿水管。在接下来的几分钟里，机库里唯一的声音是液体喷在金属上的叮当声。

关掉水后，海恩斯说关税是“最愚蠢的事情”。这让他重新审视特朗普。“我是说，天呐。他有些想法不错。我原以为，‘好吧，他是个商人，他会帮助这个国家的’。”

当海恩斯将那个现在闪着银光的圆柱体递给他时，史密斯点了点头。

“我保证，我不会再投票给他了，”海恩斯说。

史密斯用左手掌心揉搓着冰冷的金属，细细品味海恩斯的话。海恩斯以前从未否认过这位总统，至少在史密斯面前没有。尽管特朗普在宪法上没有资格在 2028 年再次参选，但这并不重要；史密斯明白他的老朋友是什么意思。

史密斯认为，那场诉讼的结果已经不再那么重要了。因为它促成了这次对话。就目前而言，这已经足够像是一场胜利了。

“I don’t know, Wayne, if that will work,” Haynes said.

“我觉得行，”史密斯说。他是对的。

他完成了剩余干草的收割，期间没有发生其他故障。随后，在8月下旬，史密斯点击了一段关于总统下令增加对加拿大关税的YouTube视频。一场贸易战已经爆发，而他正处于风暴中心。

史密斯浏览了受影响商品的清单，这些商品现在的成本将增加50%，他注意到了金属和农业种子。他想到了自己不断缩减的预算，以及他在加拿大的前商业伙伴。“如果说以前已经很糟糕了，”史密斯自言自语道，“那么今天情况更糟。”

“安息吧，国王”：谋杀案审判接近尾声，粉丝向图帕克·夏库尔致敬

拉斯维加斯 —— 最近，沙代·威廉姆斯在有人开车经过她家时，被大声播放的图帕克·夏库尔的《流下这么多泪》(Shed So Many Tears) 吵醒。最近在工作或办理杂事时，她看到人们穿着印有夏库尔图案的 T 恤。她说，自从拉斯维加斯的审判开始以来，这位已故说唱歌手的身影无处不在，她认为这是一个充满希望的信号，意味着她最喜爱的艺术家的死因即将水落石出。

“他的灵魂希望真相大白，希望获得正义，”威廉姆斯说。

在夏库尔去世近 30 年后，这起针对唯一一名被指控参与其谋杀案的人员的审判，让粉丝们重新面对许多人从未停止缅怀的损失。对他们而言，此案不仅可能揭晓对夏库尔之死负责的人，而且在花费数十年时间延续他的音乐、主张和记忆之后，提供了一个寻求结果的机会。

前南加州街头帮派头目杜安·“凯夫 D”·戴维斯 (Duane “Keffe D” Davis) 对策划在拉斯维加斯的开车枪击事件指控表示不认罪。

在 1996 年去世后，夏库尔及其影响力通过粉丝和流行文化得以延续。他在 2023 年被追授好莱坞星光大道的一颗星，加利福尼亚州奥克兰有一条以他命名的街道，并且他将成为即将推出的冒险视频游戏《比天堂更陌生》(Stranger than Heaven) 中的一个角色。

粉丝将夏库尔视为革命者

在 1996 年 9 月 7 日他被枪击的拉斯维加斯大道地点，没有官方的纪念碑。但游客们会在那个十字路口停下，粉丝们在每年的 6 月 16 日他的生日定期聚集，在一根布满缅怀信息的电线杆上添加留言，例如“安息吧，国王”(RIP King)、“图帕克一生”(Tupac 4 Life) 和“虽逝但永不被遗忘”(Gone but never forgotten)。

他们留下气球、蛋糕或他最喜欢的白兰地——轩尼诗 (Hennessy)。在附近的一块混凝土带上，有人画了一朵玫瑰并写着“从混凝土中生长出的玫瑰”(the rose that grew from concrete)，这引用了夏库尔死后出版的诗集。

图帕克·夏库尔 1996 年参加洛杉矶南区的一次选民登记活动。

亚特兰大居民朱莉·哈迪 (Julie Hardy) 在夏库尔的生日期间曾三次前往纪念地表达敬意。

“人们依然在乎，他没有被遗忘，” 56 岁的哈迪说。

对于像哈迪这样的粉丝来说，夏库尔不仅仅是一名说唱歌手。哈迪将这位黑豹党之子与马尔科姆·X (Malcolm X)、马库斯·加维 (Marcus Garvey) 和马丁·路德·金 (Martin Luther King Jr.) 等黑人活动家并列，因为她说，夏库尔写的是关于“革命”以及黑人社区所面临的起伏。

夏库尔的哲学号召提升边缘化社区的地位，并要求压迫黑人和青少年的体制承担责任。

哈迪在 19 岁住在辛辛那提时被夏库尔吸引，当时她的表亲向她介绍了夏库尔的第一张个人专辑《现在就是图帕克启示录》(2Pacalypse Now)。

她说，夏库尔的《布伦达有个孩子》(Brenda's Got a Baby) 引起了她的共鸣，因为当时青少年怀孕率很高。他的歌曲《士兵的故事》(Soulja's Story) 激励她创作嘻哈歌曲，因为这讲述了她在黑人社区成长过程中也见到的事情，例如警察暴力和枪击暴力。

当她在新闻中看到他被枪击时，她给所有认识的人打了电话。随后哈迪去了朋友家祈祷，希望夏库尔能像 1994 年 11 月在一次抢劫中被枪击时那样幸存下来。

当她得知他几天后在医院去世时，她感觉像失去了一位家人。他当时 25 岁。

“我们曾将他视为偶像和革命者，而现在我们将他视为传奇，”哈迪说。

夏库尔在词曲创作方面启发了他人

丁·“小疗法”·马龙（Din “Lil Therapy” Malone）从丹佛乘车前往拉斯维加斯观看审判。

马龙在13岁时通过观看1992年电影《果汁》（Juice）中夏库尔饰演的那个问题少年角色而结识了夏库尔。随后，他开始聆听夏库尔的音乐。

“图帕克教会了我如何将泪水转化为文字，”词曲作者兼艺术家马龙说道。在法院的一间溢出室外，马龙穿着一件夏库尔的 T 恤，并在手机上播放着夏库尔的音乐。

马龙表示，夏库尔在作品中书写自己的艰辛，这启发了他效仿，将童年被欺凌或悼念家人离世的经历付诸文字。他在丹佛一个由 Crips 帮派掌控的社区长大，并且——像夏库尔一样——学会了如何“在贫民窟中生存”。

夏库尔的歌曲《It Ain't Easy》向马龙讲述了在生活艰难时坚持下去的重要性。尽管他从未见过这位说唱歌手，但他表示感觉像失去了一位哥哥。

夏库尔的遗产在延续

北卡罗来纳州居民威廉姆斯（Williams）运营着一个名为“All Eyez on Pac”的夏库尔 Facebook 粉丝页面，拥有超过 25,000 名关注者。

这位 38 岁的女性自从看了 1993 年的电影《诗意正义》（Poetic Justice）起就热爱夏库尔，在该片中，夏库尔饰演一名邮政工人，珍妮特·杰克逊（Janet Jackson）饰演一名悲痛的理发师。她听到的第一批夏库尔歌曲之一是《Dear Mama》，她表示被夏库尔对他母亲阿费尼·夏库尔（Afeni Shakur）的深情所打动。

她说，多年来，她观看了所有关于夏库尔的视频以及所有认识他的人的采访。

“这就是我创建这个页面的原因，因为我真的非常热爱图帕克，”她说。

在她看来，夏库尔是一个被误解的、温柔且善良的人。夏库尔并非完美无缺。在 1994. 年的一起性虐待案件中，他被判定性侵罪名成立，但更严重的指控被宣判无罪。他被判处 18 个月至 4 年以上的监禁，但在被释放前服刑了近八个月。但威廉姆斯说，夏库尔也是凡人。

一些在审判期间坐在法庭里的粉丝仍然不相信夏库尔已经去世，认为他伪造了自己的死亡并生活在古巴。

威廉姆斯说，当她第一次看到夏库尔的尸检照片时，她处于否认状态，但遗憾地最终意识到他已经离世。

“他会希望获得正义，”她说，“他会希望他的名字和遗产能够延续下去。”

乌克兰仓库遭袭导致37人死亡，成为今年战争中最致命的袭击

在一份声明中表示。

以及 弗拉基米尔·尤尔丘克 (VOLODYMR YURCHUK) 美联社

乌克兰，米拉 —— 一架俄罗斯无人机袭击了基辅西部的一座仓库，乌克兰官员称该仓库存储有炮弹、地雷和其他弹药，袭击引发了大规模爆炸和火灾，火势席卷了附近数十栋房屋和建筑，导致37人死亡。

周五晚上对布恰区米拉村该仓库的袭击，是今年这场战争中最致命的袭击。此次袭击发生在为期三天、近乎全天候的俄罗斯袭击行动的第二天，这些袭击严重干扰了乌克兰首都及其周边地区的生活。

自周四以来，针对首都以及（程度较低的）乌克兰其他地区的袭击几乎从未停止。基辅官员表示，俄罗斯每隔几天就会积攒导弹库存并发动大规模袭击，希望通过数量上的绝对优势来耗尽乌克兰的防御能力。

当地地区军事行政部门负责人蒂穆尔·特卡琴科 (Tymur Tkachenko) 表示，仓库袭击引发的火灾迅速蔓延至民宅，导致至少50栋住宅建筑受损。当地媒体随后援引他的话称，死者中有34人是养老院及残疾人护理中心的居民。超过370人被疏散。

爆炸震惊了米拉村，导致人们惊慌地寻找掩体。

“大约晚上8点，无人机击中了某个仓库，然后开始了爆炸，”村民亚历山大·沃多拉兹 (Oleksandr Vodolaz) 告诉美联社。“没有人知道那里存储着武器。”

另一位当地居民詹娜·克拉夫丘克 (Zhanna Kravchuk) 表示，对于发生的事情她有很多疑问。

“为什么这样的武器……在仓库里，而不是在能帮上忙的前线？”她说。

在救援人员全力将人们转移到安全地带并扑灭大火的同时，乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基将此次袭击描述为“可怕的情况”，并表示这似乎是“那些将爆炸物存储在居民紧邻区域的人员犯下的严重疏忽”所导致的结果。

他指出，乌克兰法律禁止在居民房屋附近存储弹药，并表示已启动刑事诉讼。

“允许这种情况发生的人必须为他们的决定承担责任，”总统说道。

基辅调查遭袭击的仓库

在周六的一篇社交媒体帖子中，泽连斯基进一步阐明了情况。

“第一次袭击目标是一个绝对不应该出现在那里的弹药存储点——一个国防军存储设施。炮弹、地雷、其他弹药以及无人机发生了爆炸。”

乌克兰总理谢尔希·科雷茨基 (Serhii Koretskyi) 没有具体说明仓库内有什么，但他提到了7月对基辅郊区维什涅韦 (Vyshneve) 的一次袭击，该袭击击中了一个弹药库，导致22人死亡，并引发了席卷附近房屋的爆炸和火灾。

“不幸的是，我们已经看到维什涅韦的惨剧并没有成为教训，”科雷茨基说。“在全面入侵的第五年，犯同样的错误是刑事疏忽。所有有罪的人，毫无例外，必须受到严厉惩罚，以免此类情况再次发生。”

此次死亡的37人超过了7月2日基辅袭击中死亡的31人，而那次袭击此前是2026年这场战争中最致命的袭击。

俄罗斯国防部表示，其击中了米拉村一座存储远程无人机组件和发射助推器的仓库。俄方还表示，袭击了尼古拉耶夫 (Mykolaiv) 和伊兹梅尔 (Izmail) 的港口，以及基辅地区一个存储乌克兰“火烈鸟” (Flamingo) 巡航导弹零部件的物流中心和仓库设施。

俄罗斯喷气式无人机给基辅带来难题

周六，俄罗斯的袭击造成赫尔松南部地区的房屋和公寓楼受损，导致两人死亡，27人受伤，其中包括一名儿童。该地区行政负责人奥列克桑德尔·普罗库金（Oleksandr Prokudin）表示。

普罗库金在本周早些时候表示，俄罗斯加强了对该地区关键基础设施的攻击，目前该地区约 70% 的区域处于俄罗斯控制之下。他还敦促数万名居民搬迁到更安全的地区，因为今年冬天可能会出现长时间的停电和停暖。

乌克兰总统办公室副主任帕夫洛·帕利萨（Pavlo Palisa）周五告诉记者，尽管官员们尚未说明这些无人机是否被用于仓库袭击，但俄罗斯已显著增加了喷气式无人机的使用，且随着莫斯科意识到其效能，其数量将继续增长。

“攻击手段总是领先于防御手段。我们肯定需要适应，这需要时间，”帕利萨说。他表示，乌克兰目前拥有的拦截无人机在理论上可以拦截喷气式无人机，但尚未展现出预期的效果，不过乌克兰正在寻求解决方案。

乌克兰誓言增加远程打击

与此同时，乌克兰在近几个月加强了对俄罗斯军事工业和能源设施的远程攻击。这些使用国产无人机的袭击旨在削减莫斯科的战争资金来源，并让俄罗斯人感受到后果。

在周五向全国发表的晚间声明中，泽连斯基表示，基辅希望增加远程打击，使每天的无人机发射量达到 1000 架。

“目前，我们的远程制裁平均每天超过 300 次，”泽连斯基说。他倾向于将基辅的远程攻击称为“制裁”，这些攻击近期还针对了俄罗斯的大型在线零售商。“必须增加数量。我们有一个非常明确的目标，并且我们将实现它。”

俄罗斯国防部周六表示，莫斯科军队在夜间摧毁了 313 架乌克兰无人机。

阿联酋将特朗普视为成为AI强国的关键伙伴

能够支持客户应用。”

其对美国在伊朗战争的支持也加强了双方的联盟

作者：RACHEL CHASON 和 EVAN HALPER

阿拉伯联合酋长国，阿布扎比 —— 阿拉伯联合酋长国正大举押注人工智能，并将唐纳德·特朗普总统视为其支持者。

特朗普去年宣布美国与阿联酋将合作建设一个规模为5吉瓦、耗资300 亿美元 billion的AI园区，此举在当地被誉为一项胜利 —— 使这个拥有1100 万人口的波斯湾国家有望成为全球AI强国。

阿联酋一直致力于利用AI来实现其石油经济的多元化，但其雄心曾受到拜登政府的限制，后者对敏感美国技术向某些国家的扩散设置了护栏。

然而，特朗普政府最近放宽了阿联酋获取美国AI芯片的限制 —— 这一举措被业内广泛视为对阿联酋在华盛顿针对伊朗的战争中提供合作与支持的奖励。

阿联酋AI产业的命运将对美国与中国在开发最具商业成功AI技术方面的竞争产生重大影响。专家表示，这也将有助于决定哪些国家能从这个利润丰厚的领域中获益最多。

阿联酋政府支持的AI公司G42的首席全球事务官Talal Al Kaissi表示，整个行业都在竞相建立并运行基础设施，而“采用和负责任的扩散现在是竞争的关键”。

他坐在G42宽敞的办公室里说道，阿联酋的目标是“从碳氢经济体转型为智能出口国”，此时一只由AI驱动的机器狗正在室外活动。

Al Kaissi表示，G42早已意识到AI具有“极强的政治化色彩”，并指出该公司在2022年底决定“切断与中国的所有联系，并真正加倍押注美国”。

但这种联盟与阿联酋与华盛顿的安全联盟一样，也带有高风险。

该国的AI愿景现在受到与伊朗战争的威胁，这场战争已进入第七个月，且看不到结束的迹象。

尽管战争近期已转向经济战，但分析人士表示，导弹雨落在海湾国家（包括一些针对数据中心的攻击）的记忆不会很快消褪。

分析人士称，投资者在考虑在哪里建设高度敏感的基础设施时，会考虑到这些攻击，而海湾地区现在看来风险较高。

当特朗普去年前往海湾地区 —— 这是他第二任期内的首次重大海外行程 —— 他在阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯宣布了价值数十亿美元的AI协议。

中东研究所高级研究员Mohammed Soliman表示，这些协议表明了与拜登政府的转变，后者限制了AI芯片和模型的出口。

相比之下，特朗普政府的官员采取了相反的方法。Soliman说：“他们的想法是我们需要扩散美国的基础设施，我们希望无处不在。”

特朗普的宣布引起了华盛顿部分人士的怀疑，他们担心这会导致情报泄露给中国。

另一些人则指责特朗普在商业上与阿联酋国家安全顾问塔农·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬（Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan）关系过于密切，后者监管G42，并指出塔农在特朗普的加密货币业务中进行了大量投资。

但在阿联酋，特朗普的宣布被广泛庆祝，被认为巩固了AI“作为其头号优先事项”的地位。对此，阿联酋分析师、阿拉伯联合酋长国大学退休政治学教授Abdulkhaleq Abdulla如此表示。

“在过去的50年里，这个国家将四分之一的石油收入用于创建最先进的物理基础设施，”阿卜杜拉表示，“现在，我们决定在数字基础设施上投入同样多的资金。”

微软将阿联酋列为全球AI采用率最高的国家，在这个富裕的国家，这项技术支撑着从警察到护照服务的所有环节。自2017年以来，阿联酋就设立了专门负责AI的政府部长，并于2021年开设了一所专门针对该行业的大学。

索利曼表示，在阿联酋建设的优势显而易见，包括充足的能源、监管障碍较少的支持性政府，以及该国巨大的财富。

他表示，就数据中心而言，每吉瓦的成本至少在300 亿美元 billion到500 亿美元 billion之间。他问道：“还有谁能拿出这种规模的资本？”

对于科技公司来说，选择非常有限。

他们在美国以及在较小程度上的欧洲尽可能快地进行建设，但正遭遇障碍。公众的反对情绪日益高涨。美国和欧洲的立法者正与选民一起，攻击AI扩建计划。

美国的电网正迅速达到极限。将数据中心接入区域电网的等待时间已延长至数年。与此同时，监管机构面临着拒绝此类连接的压力，因为纳税人抱怨大型数据中心推高了所有人的电费。

“对这些项目的需求如此之高，以至于即便在过去几个月发生了所有这些事情之后，我怀疑海湾地区的扩建仍将继续，”专注于国防和能源的保守派智库哈德逊研究所（Hudson Institute）高级研究员迈克尔·索博利克表示。

商务部在6月份做出的一项决定，将阿联酋在AI芯片方面的类别与欧洲国家、印度和韩国设为同一类，这似乎支持了阿联酋的赌注。索利曼表示，这一决定可能“并非由战争引起，但因战争而加速”。

索利曼说：“华盛顿因为战争而需要为它的盟友创造激励机制。”

但分析人士警告称，战争将改变开发商对待该地区的方式。索博利克表示，“将会有很多教训被吸取，并且会进行大量的基础设施加固。”

他说：“这将是一个混乱且耗时的过程。而且成本也会很高。”

目前尚不清楚公司将如何具体实施。“无人机袭击的速度和强度具有压倒性，”索博利克说。

研究公司Capstone同样预计海湾地区的数据中心将获得强劲投资，但该公司警告称，投资者需要重新审视对该地区的认知。

Capstone国家安全团队共同负责人埃琳娜·麦戈文表示：“关于将海湾地区视为‘另一个中东’的认知泡沫已经被戳破了。我们可能会回到一个更和平的时代，但无法回到这场冲突之前的完整状—”

态。

但Capstone与行业内其他机构一样，并不看空海湾国家。相反，他们预计大型科技公司将找到缓解风险并“加固”其基础设施的策略和应急计划。

亚马逊（其创始人杰夫·贝佐斯拥有《华盛顿邮报》）不愿透露其阿联酋数据中心的受损细节，也不愿透露其业务恢复运行的比例。该公司转而强调，它拥有强大的备份能力，可使客户避免服务中断。

在网站最新的更新中，亚马逊网络服务（AWS）表示，阿联酋的数据中心仍然“无法可靠地—”

阿尔托大学技术政策教授、牛津互联网研究所高级研究员维利·莱顿维尔塔表示，一个重大问题是“人力资本”。

莱顿维尔塔表示，虽然物理基础设施可能继续建设，但海湾地区严重依赖外籍技术人员，而这些人可能会因为战争而不太愿意搬迁，他们的缺失将阻碍产业增长。

他表示，无论如何，显然在人工智能领域，阿联酋和美国将继续紧密交织。他说，阿联酋需要美国的芯片，而对于美国来说，退缩可能意味着将阵地让给中国。

“这是双向的，”莱顿维尔塔说，“双方都过于依赖对方，谁也无法退缩。”

Lev Tech 是一家设计并制造人工智能数据中心冷却技术的公司，其联合创始人达尼·哈拉比表示，阿联酋已经在从一个购买人工智能相关技术的国家，转变为一个制造该技术的国家。

“公司不再仅仅将阿联酋视为一个销售市场，”哈拉比说，“他们正在围绕数据中心基础设施建立本地制造、区域中心和技术能力。”

在 G42 的总部，阿尔·凯西表示，这座 5 吉瓦（gigawatt）规模的园区建设正以“惊人的速度”推进，并补充说，他有信心战争不会阻碍计划，且首批 200 兆瓦（megawatts）“很快将投入运营”。

“我们并不是昨天才发现自己处于一个危险的邻里之中，”他说，“我们一直能够制定出适当水平的风险缓解策略。”

坎耶·韦斯特在俄罗斯的两场售罄演出被取消

作者：玛丽·伊柳希娜（MARY ILYUSHINA）

坎耶·韦斯特（Kanye West，现名为 Ye）5 月 30 日在伊斯坦布尔的阿塔图尔克奥林匹克体育场演出。 YASIN AKGUL / 坎耶·韦斯特（Kanye West，现名为 Ye），这位充满争议的嘻哈艺术家、时尚设计师以及愤怒的煽动者，在俄罗斯的两场门票售罄的演出被取消了——在一个自认为对西方式“取消文化”免疫的国家，这一进展令人震惊。

在 10 月被预定在圣彼得堡的天然气工业股份公司竞技场（Gazprom Arena）进行为期两晚的演出，该场馆可容纳约 80,000 人。

但由于俄罗斯正在乌克兰进行一场被总统弗拉基米尔·普京反复描述为反纳粹斗争的战争， 发表反犹太主义言论的名声带来了一个问题。

本周，该场馆表示尽管门票销售情况良好，但尚未与推广方签署合同，演出将不会在那里举行。

这次取消（ 尚未确认）凸显了一种紧张关系：一方是希望感受到自己是国际社区一部分的俄罗斯人，而另一方则坚持拒绝任何或任何违背克里姆林宫所塑造的——一个怀疑西方且极具爱国主义色彩的国家形象——的人或事。

这两场计划于 10 月 10 日和 11 日举行的演出，本将成为 2022 年全面入侵乌克兰开始以来，国际巨星在俄罗斯举办的最大规模演出。自那时起，一线明星纷纷避开该国，而莫斯科则面临着包括美国在内的沉重制裁。

最初，天然气工业股份公司竞技场公开宣传了这些演出，称 为“我们时代最具影响力的音乐艺术家”。

“这不是开玩笑！”一条 Instagram 帖子这样写道，该帖子目前仍然在网。

但仅一周后，场馆突然改变了方向。推广方 Say Agency 对这一版本的事件经过提出了异议，并表示正在努力挽救 在俄罗斯的演出。

由于其反犹太言论以及对阿道夫·希特勒的赞美， 自 2023 年起在整个欧洲面临入境禁令及演唱会取消。2025 年 8 月 8 日——纳粹德国在第二次世界大战中被击败 80 周年纪念日——他发布了一首名为《Heil Hitler》的曲目。

今年 1 月， 表示他深切后悔过去的言论，并将其归因于未治疗的双相情感障碍。今年春天，他多年来首次在美国几个主要城市进行了演出，但波兰、英国、法国和意大利的演出被取消了。

一些批评者对他道歉的真实性表示怀疑，因为这次道歉恰逢新专辑《Bully》的发行以及他世界巡演的开始。

尽管如此， 还是在东欧以及西亚和中亚吸引了数以千计的观众。据组织者称，他最近在土耳其吸引了约 118,000 名粉丝，在哈萨克斯坦为 31,000 人演出，其中近 8,000 人来自其他国家。

阿尔巴尼亚从国家储备金中拨出 $4.9 百万美元，用于资助 7 月在地拉那的一场演出，总理埃迪·拉马（Edi Rama）将其称为一项经济投资。

此举遭到批评者的猛烈抨击，他们指责这是一种策略，旨在转移人们对持续数周的反腐抗议的注意力，这些抗议集中在与贾里德·库什纳（Jared Kushner）有关的豪华度假村以及与保护地开发相关的更广泛问题上。

俄罗斯是下一个可能欢迎 的国家，两场演出的宣布迅速引起了轰动。根据官方零售商的数据，几天之内大部分门票已售罄，包括售价 $1,900 的 VIP 座位，仅剩少量 $350 至 $600 之间的较高价位座位。

然而，这场演唱会给俄罗斯当局带来了两难境地。

一方面，在乌克兰战争导致四年孤立之后， 出现在普京的家乡圣彼得堡，将有助于这位俄罗斯领导人长期以来试图向俄罗斯人证明其国家并非弃儿的努力。

另一方面，Ye 在西方被排斥的主要原因与俄罗斯针对乌克兰的叙事并不契合，莫斯科将乌克兰嘲讽为“一个新纳粹国家”。

一些抢购门票的粉丝在网络讨论中发帖称，无论他的观点如何，他们很高兴能有一位全球巨星访问俄罗斯。

在门票开售时，一名网友在网上写道：“大多数人都厌倦了禁令，但这感觉像是一股清新的空气——人们想要享受文化。”

另一些人则对在圣彼得堡（原名列宁格勒）举办 Ye 演唱会的可能性感到愤怒。在第二次世界大战期间，这座城市曾遭受德军残酷的 872 天封锁，导致数十万人死亡。

这场潜在的演唱会甚至分化了效忠于克里姆林宫的官员。一些人立即要求禁止演出，而另一些人则敦促当局不要干预，理由是今年俄罗斯经历了广泛的网络禁令，且乌克兰持续的无人机袭击导致俄罗斯燃料短缺并摧毁了仓库，在这种国家整体情绪下应保持克制。

俄罗斯中央选举委员会主席埃拉·帕姆菲洛娃称 是“一个本身非常有才华的人”，并表示她将“很乐意去”观看他的演出。

帕姆菲洛娃随后表示，她此前并不知晓他的反犹太言论。

俄罗斯流行歌手谢尔盖·拉泽列夫表示，俄罗斯人能有更多机会看到不同的艺术家，就越好。

议会下院副议长弗拉迪斯拉夫·达万科夫公开反对禁止这场演唱会，他表示，虽然他本人不是粉丝，但观众应该有权自行决定。他指出， 的争议并非国家安全问题。

达万科夫的表态是由公民活动人士维塔利·博罗金的一项提议引发的，后者谴责拟议的演唱会是对“我们社会的扇耳光”。

这种情绪得到了极保守主义的东正教运动“Sorok Sorokov”的共鸣，该组织与 长期不和。2024 年，当该音乐家短期访问莫斯科参加一名时尚设计师的生日派对，且关于潜在演出的传闻四起时，该组织呼吁对 进行调查，理由是极端主义、宣传毒品和诋毁俄罗斯军队。

该组织指责 的歌曲《Vultures》，其中描述了一名吸毒的“俄罗斯”女性，且歌词主角与她为了“乌克兰”而进行粗暴的性行为。

该团体当时抱怨称， 的作品表现出一种“对俄罗斯女性或俄罗斯女性形象直接、轻蔑且冒犯的态度”，且此类素材在俄罗斯的任何舞台上都是“不可接受的”。

俄罗斯媒体推测，演出场馆在“收到莫斯科的指令”后受到了压力而取消了演出。叶卡捷琳娜·米祖琳娜是一位著名的亲克里姆林宫互联网审查活动人士，以撰写敦促当局禁禁某事的官方举报信而闻名，她转发了取消演出的消息，并配文“我为俄罗斯服务”。

北京扩大将领清洗行动，长期大洗牌进入最新篇章

北京在上周扩大了对高级军事领导人的清洗行动，解雇了更多将领。这是自2022年以来移除数十名高级军事领导人的大洗牌行动的最新阶段。在国家主席习近平寻求在印太地区投射力量之际，此举引发了人们对战斗准备状态的质疑。

周五，全国人民代表大会常委会——中国这一橡皮图章立法机构的最高决策机构——投票决定免除张又侠和刘振立在七人制国家中央军事委员会（CMC）中的职务，该委员会是国家最高军事决策机构。

新华社 / GETTY IMAGES

这两位四星上将在今年1月已被立案调查，因此周五的决定在很大程度上仅是形式上的。但在本周的一系列单独投票中，北京领导层还免除了级别较低的军官以及退休军官的职务，对这些人的调查此前并未被如此广泛地预告。

曾负责中国西部战区的退休四星上将赵宗旗被剥夺了中国最高政治咨询机构的成员资格。赵宗旗在2020年中印边境冲突期间担任中国军队的最高指挥官，是少数具有实战经验的中国将领之一。

前中央情报局（CIA）高级中国分析师丹尼斯·怀尔德（Dennis Wilder）表示，清洗行动的最新篇章似乎针对的是与此前被罢免领导人（如张又侠）有关联的军官。“习近平不仅要清除他认为不忠诚的高级将领，还要清除他们的下属。这种情况可能会持续到习近平认为他已经完全抹除了张又侠在军队中的影响力为止。”

另外，习近平的亲信、被委派监督中央军委反腐工作的助手钟绍军本周也被免去了在中国立法机构的职务。去年秋天，在传出钟绍军失宠的传闻中，他从公众视野中消失。

怀尔德表示，钟绍军被免职令人“惊讶”，但这“符合习近平清洗看似忠诚的下属的模式”。

加州大学圣迭戈分校中国政治教授史宗瀚（Victor Shih）表示，中国人民解放军（PLA）内部的反腐斗争可以解释部分新的人事免职，他指出每年有“数千亿美元”的采购资金流经中央军委，这为贪腐创造了充足的机会。

“我认为对于钟绍军来说，诱惑实在太大了，尽管他的工作就是充当习近平的眼睛和耳朵，”史宗瀚说。

考虑到张又侠的高级职级、在1979年中越战争中罕见的实战经验以及与习近平长期的私人关系，这位习近平麾下中国军队的二号人物在1月份的倒台是一个尤为令人震惊的动荡时刻。

此次投票——结合之前的清洗——使得中央军事委员会目前仅剩下两名成员：习近平本人及其副手张盛民。

就在中国领导人推动人民解放军快速现代化（部分是为了实现其在2027年前准备好入侵台湾的既定目标）的同时，他也在掏空军队的最高指挥层。

华盛顿智库美国企业研究所（American Enterprise Institute）专门研究美中竞争的高级研究员扎克·库珀（Zack Cooper）表示：“在短期内，这可能会限制人民解放军为大规模冲突所做的准备。”

在中国“党国”体制下，中国共产党和中国国家机构分别设有中央军事委员会，但在现实中，这两个平行机构通常作为一个整体运作。

周五的撤职决定剥夺了这两位将军在国家中央军委中的职务，但并未剥夺他们在党中央军委中的相应职务。

丹尼尔·卢里，旧金山的低调激进派

市长丹尼尔·卢里于 11 日出席旧金山的一场社区服务活动。 BENJAMIN FANJOY / GETTY IMAGES

旧金山

民主党正演变成两个截然不同的“杂货店故事”。在纽约，市长佐兰·马姆达尼（Zohran Mamdani）启动了一项试点计划，由市政府拥有并补贴杂货店。而在旧金山，市长丹尼尔·卢里（Daniel Lurie）正在北滩（North Beach）的一家当地经营的 Grocery Outlet 超市剪彩；自从 Safeway 在 2023 年关闭后，这个社区就一直缺乏一家全服务商店。

前者是全国性叙事的一部分，因为该党的进步派翼正努力争取成为焦点。而后者则是一场更为低调的革命，但其变革力度毫不逊色。

“我认为，一名民选官员能够思考自己的城市并仅专注于此，这本身就是激进的，”49, 岁的卢里在商店开业几小时后告诉我，“我认为有些东西引起了旧金山市民的共鸣，因为他们看到我专注于他们。”

这种方式奏效了。截至 5 月初，卢里在旧金山居民中的支持率高达 74%。他们在 2024 年选举他上台——以 10 个百分点的优势爆冷击败了民主党现任市长伦敦·布里德（London Breed）——毫无疑问，部分原因是由于他极其专注于减少犯罪和解决城市的无家可归者危机。“我们在旧金山迷失了方向，没有盯住重点，”他告诉我，“如果我们能做到这一点，如果能为旧金山市民提供最基本的政府服务，他们会完成剩下的部分。”

卢里是李维斯（Levi Strauss）财富的继承人，他曾在全国关注的焦点中出现过几次，包括去年秋天他请求唐纳德·特朗普不要向这座城市派遣国民警卫队。在几位科技公司高管也据理力争后，总统同意了。“如果我们这样做，过程会更简单、更快、更强、更安全，但让我们看看你怎么做？”据报道，特朗普曾这样对卢里说。但这位政坛新人——竞选市长是卢里的首次参选——并没有花太多时间关注湾区以外的事情。

这座城市最显著的变化之一是街道露营地的减少。根据今年的初步统计，住在帐篷里的人数自 2024. 年以来下降了 85%。无家可归问题依然困扰着这座城市，但政府在将人们安置到临时住所方面取得了成功。在 2024 年至 2026, 年之间，无遮蔽人口减少了 22%，达到 15 年来的最低水平；据 6 月报告，紧急避难所和过渡住房设施的床位容量处于“历史最高点”。

“实际上，我们的人均住房单位——永久支持性住房单位——比该州任何地方都多。然而我们依然面临危机，”卢里说，“这是因为我们之前将无家可归问题仅视为一个单一问题，但实际上，这在我们的街道上是一场药物危机。”他希望城市能让更多的人接受治疗和康复，“无论那是自愿的还是强制性的。”

卢里通过向我介绍城市新设立的 RESET 中心来详细阐述。该设施是“快速执法、支持、评估和分诊”（rapid enforcement, support, evaluation, and triage）的缩写，旨在作为监狱牢房和医院的替代方案。它的设计目的是帮助无家可归者对接治疗，并协助警方转移醉酒人员的监管权。

“在最初的几个月里，被送入 RESET 中心的人员中有 30% 得到了医疗护理的对接，”卢里告诉我，“警员可以在 20 分钟或更短的时间内完成，然后重新回到街上。”

这并不是市长第一次涉足该问题。在竞选公职之前，卢里创立了 Tipping Point Community，这是一个总部位于旧金山的基金会，旨在与当地组织合作减少贫困，同时增加获得大学教育和高薪工作的机会。该基金会的资助已帮助

当他的政党在讨论废除监狱时，这位民主党市长正在整治他的城市。首要任务：公共安全。

为超过 9,500 人提供住房。

卢里谈论进步主义的方式与他的同行们援引这一意识形态的方式截然不同。“我们将始终忠于我们的旧金山价值观，这意味着相互照顾，彼此守护。但我们引以为傲的一些进步价值观，在过去意味着我们会继续走过一个在街头与药物成瘾作斗争的人，”他说。“三年前，我们街头有超过 800 人死于药物过量。去年这个数字降到了 625。但这仍然不可接受。”

他希望重新建立威慑力。“我从第一天起传达的信息就是：如果你来到旧金山吸毒或贩毒，我们将逮捕你，起诉你，并让你承担责任。……走过一个处于成瘾痛苦之中的人而无动于衷，这绝没有任何进步可言，”卢里补充道。

他对犯罪的态度使他与党内主张“削减警察经费”和“废除监狱”的派系产生了分歧。然而，这也促使其他城市和州领导人向他寻求建议。旧金山的谋杀案去年下降了 20%，达到了 1950 年代以来的最低水平。抢劫案和机动车盗窃案也分别下降了 24% 和 44%。这三项指标在卢里就职前就已经在改善，并且在就职后继续下降。他是如何做到的？

“公共安全是我的首要任务。实际上，它也是我的第二和第三优先级，”他说。我们正坐在旧金山警察局的实时调查中心，这里利用无人机和摄像头追踪正在发生的犯罪。卢里似乎认识这里的每一位员工，而员工们对他顺道拜访显得非常高兴。

“在 2026 年的现在，几乎所有这些数据都得到了改善。我们是一座安全的美国城市。我们专注于此。……我们曾短缺 500 多名警员。我们刚刚完成了近 10 年来规模最大的警察学院毕业典礼，”卢里说。他强调，解决犯罪和无家可归问题没有单一的方案，但如果非要总结的话：“我只想鼓励全国各地的所有人保持专注，不要被过多不同的方向所干扰。”

然而，旧金山无法逃避另一场全国性的辩论：关于人工智能的使用与监管即将到来的对决，而这场对决将集中在全市一些最著名的公司身上。卢里给华盛顿的建议是什么？

“我们需要为这项技术设立护栏，”他说，但补充道，“我认为不应该由每个城市单独地去做。”他暗示支持联邦预先占用权（federal preemption）。“这至少应该在州一级完成。而且我想，在联邦一级完成是最理想的。”

必须在地方层面解决的是城市的支出问题。卢里在 2025 年 5 月表示，他将结束“城市预算飙升的时代”，并且他兑现了这一承诺。他上个月签署了旧金山的年度预算，填补了近 6.5亿美元 的两年期赤字。当被问及是否计划依赖 AI 热潮来弥补收入时，他急于强调财政责任：“无论发生什么，我想确保我们的生活在能力范围之内。”

卢里描述了在疫情期间涌入的联邦资金停止流动后，城市是如何被“打了个措手不及”的。为了平衡预算，他不得不进行艰难的削减——与批评者所言相反，其中没有任何一项破坏了城市的社会安全网。“我对我们去年所做的工作感到非常自豪，当时华盛顿和联邦政府关闭，并削减了 SNAP 食品补贴的获取渠道，”卢里说。“作为一座城市，我们挺身而出，为 112,000 名旧金山居民支付了一个月的分额。”这笔约 $1800 万 的资金是通过公共和私人资金相结合筹集而来的。

虽然卢里并不依赖于任何特定公司的估值来维持城市的财政运转，但他非常渴望扮演好东道主的角色。“未来始于旧金山，我们为此感到自豪。我们希望这些公司留在这里，希望它们经营良好，并且希望它们在税收方面支付应尽的份额。”他补充说，他希望首席执行官们能“成为我们城市的一部分”，并“帮助我们构建一个广泛且持久的复苏”。

卢里的措辞中没有任何“我们与他们”相对立的意味。这与西雅图民主党市长凯蒂·威尔逊（Katie Wilson）的风格截然不同——今年4月，威尔逊向那些为了逃避年收入超过$1 million部分需缴纳的9.9%税款而离开该州的华盛顿州居民挥手告别。与此同时，卢里则在反对D号提案，这是一项由工会支持的提案，旨在提高那些首席执行官薪资超过员工中位数薪资100倍的旧金山公司的税收。旧金山居民在6月的投票中反对了这项增税计划。

这位市长目前在美国备受关注，在很大程度上是因为像威尔逊那样的态度以及像马姆达尼（Mamdani）那样在杂货店搞的噱头。此类政治操弄吸引了全国的注意力，但卢里对此不感兴趣。“我并不真正考虑政党和意识形态，”他说，“我考虑的是为旧金山人民取得成果。这就是我早晨醒来时思考的事情，也是我晚上入睡前思考的事情。”

面对日益兴起的社会主义者，其反衬或许可以在一个拥有保守价值观的“红州”中找到。但或许，他只是一个在旧金山的民主党人，正安静且坚定地清理着他的城市。

进步派基督徒夺回上帝的唯一途径

作者：埃里克·蒂特塞尔 (ERIC TEETSEL)

亚当·汉密尔顿 (Adam Hamilton) 是一位领导美国最大联合卫理公会教区的牧师，他正以民主党身份在堪萨斯州竞选美国参议员。长老会神学生詹姆斯·塔拉里科 (James Talarico) 在德克萨斯州也在做同样的事情。在爱荷华州，两名传教士——路德宗的莎拉·特隆·加里奥特 (Sarah Trone Garriott) 和长老宗的林赛·詹姆斯 (Lindsay James) 是美国众议院的民主党提名人。另一位传教士，非宗派牧师罗布·赖尔斯 (Robb Ryerse)，正以民主党身份在阿肯色州竞选国会议员。

信仰长期以来在进步政治中扮演着重要角色，这可以从黑人教会公民权利运动中的核心作用，到主流教会早期对 LGBTQ 权利运动的接纳中可见一斑。然而，如今民主党人相信上帝、去教堂或祈祷的可能性低于共和党人。新一批基于信仰的民主党候选人代表了一种试图扭转这一趋势的努力——但这种努力不太可能成功。

要理解原因，请回顾上一次进步基督教的兴起。2000年代初，当我还是芝加哥郊区福音派机构惠顿学院 (Wheaton College) 的学生时，我记得在社区公告栏上看到一张传单，宣传一场由当时崭露头角的美国参议员候选人巴拉克·奥巴马 (Barack Obama) 参加的活动。这是一个在精神世界中感到自在，且精通影响力深远的新教神学家赖因霍尔德·尼布尔 (Reinhold Niebuhr) 作品的年轻进步派。奥巴马代表了该校教职员工的一个梦想，他们渴望找到一个替代宗教右翼的选择。奥巴马鼓励这种兴趣，在由巨型教会牧师里克·沃伦 (Rick Warren) 主持的“总统职能公民论坛”上接触宗教选民，并邀请沃伦在就职典礼上进行祈祷。

但大多数福音派选民并未被奥巴马的宗教辞令所说服。2008年，76% 的白人福音派新教徒投票给了约翰·麦凯恩 (John McCain)，这一比例高于 2000 年投票给乔治·W·布什 (George W. Bush) 的比例。事实证明，他们的怀疑是有道理的。在任期间，奥巴马监督了堕胎机会的扩大并推动了 LGBTQ 权利——这些立场使他与福音派的优先事项产生分歧。他还拒绝给予“穷人小姐妹会” (Little Sisters of the Poor) 在《平价医疗法案》避孕强制令中的宗教豁免权——这场法律斗争一直持续至今。

此后的几年里，民主党采取了一些将社会保守派宗教选民推向共和党 (GOP) 的主张，包括强制使用首选代词、为跨性别手术提供保险覆盖、放宽堕胎法以及将安乐死合法化。

现在寻求公职的进步派基督徒并没有通过在这些问题上采取更温和的立场来接触宗教选民。相反，他们使用信仰的语言来为通常与世俗左翼相关的立场辩护。汉密尔顿的教会赞助了“KC 骄傲节” (KC Pridefest)。塔拉里科在德克萨斯州众议院议事厅发言时表示，“上帝是非二元的”。加里奥特投票反对一项禁止生物学男性参加女子体育比赛的法案。

基督徒选民关心政策胜过关心宗教辞令或个人信仰。这一点可以从他们更倾向于选择摩门教徒米特·罗姆尼 (Mitt Romney) 而非新教徒奥巴马中看出。在他们愿意支持唐纳德·特朗普这一点上同样明显。对我以及我的福音派同僚来说，一个虽然不信教但政策更符合圣经原则的领导人，要优于一位致力于与我们信仰理解相悖的进步议程的牧师。

这种务实的方法是必要的。《诗篇》中写道：“不要倚靠诸侯……他们不能救你”。在进入天堂之前，为了取得与基督教关于“善”的理解相一致且合理的政策胜利，建立联盟、权衡取舍和妥协是必要的。

这种心态让宗教选民获益匪浅。尽管许多批评者指责基督徒支持特朗普是虚伪的，但他带来了真实的政策胜利：推翻了“罗诉韦德案”、削减对堕胎服务提供者的资金、停止联邦政府为未成年人性别重塑手术提供资金，并大力捍卫信仰人士的权利以及推广学校选择权。

除非进步派的基督教候选人向中间地带靠拢，否则他们不太可能吸引福音派选民。他们也不太可能成为一个独立的政治力量。更为自由的主流教会正在经历剧烈衰落。在这方面，汉密尔顿的联合卫理公会（United Methodist Church）具有代表性。最近，四分之一的教区因在 LGBTQ 权利问题上的分歧而离开了该教派。塔拉里科所属的长老会教派最近报告称，其成员、教区、牧师和收入又经历了一年的流失。

将宗教与单一政党挂钩可能对美国基督教不利，但在民主党变得温和之前，这种情况将继续存在。

社论 迫近的 2030 年代

要控制国家债务，应从退休制度入手

社会保障基金和医疗保险（Medicare）信托基金的破产日期曾被认为是遥远的事件。当政客们觉得这些只是抽象的可能性时，他们几乎没有采取任何措施来阻止。而现在，这些日期已近在咫尺。

根据今年的受托人报告，主要的社会保障信托基金将在 2032 年破产，即下一任总统的任期内。医疗保险医院基金将在 2033 年紧随其后。如果国会不采取行动，破产将意味着医疗保险将全面削减约十分之一，社会保障将削减约四分之一。

信托基金的概念具有误导性。这两项计划现在和一直以来都是“现收现付制”，即从当前劳动者中征收的税款用于支付当前退休人员的福利。尽管信托基金在账面上仍有正余额，但社会保障和医疗保险目前都在增加年度赤字。

多年来，社会保障征收的税款多于其支付的福利。但政府并没有将这笔多余的钱存起来。存储在信托基金中的资金是以国债形式持有的，这意味着政府已经将其花掉了。自 2010 年以来，社会保障福利支出已超过了工资税的征收额。

医疗保险福利从未承诺劳动者能拿回他们向该计划缴纳的所有资金。一对年收入在 $100,000 左右、于 2025 年年满 65 岁夫妇，预计获得的医疗保险福利（按现值计算并扣除保费）将是他们在工作年限内缴纳的医疗保险工资税的 4.4 倍。而且这一差距预计还会扩大：同一对在 2045 年退休的夫妇，预计获得的福利将是其缴纳税款的 5.3 倍。

去年，医疗保险保费覆盖了该计划支出的 14%。工资税覆盖了 33%。剩下的 53% 绝大部分是债务。

破产日期之所以有意义，仅是因为它们在法律上强制国会必须采取行动。国会预算办公室在其预测中假设，国会将继续使用一般财政收入为这些计划提供资金，而不是通过提高税收或削减福利来匹配信托基金的承受能力。但使用一般财政收入需要立法者做出肯定选择。他们可以——而且应该——做出不同的选择。

社会保障制度已与现代时代脱节。大多数拥有财政稳健退休计划的国家都遵循相同的基本结构：以税收资助的转移支付作为底线，在此之上提供基于资产调查的福利和强制性私人储蓄。这种结构确保了福利能精准投放至最需要的地方，而不会给政府预算带来过重负担。

联邦法律通过给予个人和雇主税收优惠，竭力鼓励私人退休储蓄。美国人对这些激励措施做出了响应。退休账户已成为家庭财富的最大来源，超过了房屋净值。

结果是，很大一部分社会保障福利流向了不需要它们的人。超过三分之一的福利支付给了年收入超过 $100,000 的老年人。这一比例可能会随着时间的推移而增加。许多在规划退休的年轻人是在假设无法依赖社会保障的前提下进行储蓄的。

医疗保险是更大的挑战。它在经济中所占的份额将只会增加。税收不能在不破坏经济增长的情况下无限提高，否则将导致财政收入与家庭收入同步下降。限制医疗保险的支出增长至关重要。

实现这一目标的一种方法是限制该计划新增服务。现有服务的支出控制得相当好。大多数预计超出通胀的支出增长将来自新计费代码的增加——也就是说，涵盖新的治疗方案。限制这些新增项在政治上可能比其他成本控制措施更容易被接受，因为它不需要削减目前已涵盖的服务。

联邦医疗保险（Medicare）还应实施更严格的资产审查。富裕的老年人应全额支付其保费，而普通老年人的支付额也应高于目前的水平。对于国家最富有的一代人，其医疗保健成本的保费覆盖率不足五分之一，这在逻辑上已无法继续成立。

政治家们喜欢承诺通过提高税收或削减浪费来控制债务。但如果不对退休福利制度做出改变，美国政府就无法找到切实可行的偿债路径。

这个国家继承的 20 世纪模式与如今的人口结构不相符。美国老年人不能再指望每人有四五个劳动者来支付他们的福利。幸运的是，平均而言，数百万老年人的生活已经非常富裕，拥有可供提取的大量财富。

这场贸易战不会改变我与加拿大的纽带

关于 8 月 23 日的新闻报道《贸易谈判失败，加拿大准备实施新关税》：

我的母亲在美加边境的加拿大一侧，即魁北克省的斯坦斯特（Stanstead）长大。斯坦斯特是跨越边境的“三个村庄”之一：魁北克省的斯坦斯特和比比（Beebe），以及佛蒙特州的德比莱恩（Derby Line）。尽管国际边界穿过该地区——在某些情况下甚至穿过私人财产——但居民们一直将自己视为一个统一的社区，共享资源并互相照应。对于许多人来说，跨境往来是日常活动。

我在法裔加拿大文化和美国文化中共同成长。我的母亲会在圣诞节制作 tourtière（法裔加拿大肉派）；冬天如果有雪，我和姐姐会制作 tire d'érable（枫糖太妃糖）。

当前的贸易战对加拿大人来说影响重大，因为他们的经济规模小得多，且高度依赖美国。但加拿大人在面对美国时表现出的意志力令人印象深刻。

除了这场危机的经济后果，还有人文层面的影响。在历史进程中，我们虽有分歧，但大体上拥有相似的世界观。我们可以在冰球赛场上竞争，也可以在席琳·迪翁（Celine Dion）面前团结一致。

贸易和国际关系是否会重启尚难预料，但我们可以对此抱有希望。无论如何，加拿大人在我家中永远受欢迎。这种纽带不会被打破。

关于这场辩论

关于 8 月 25 日的新闻报道《这份文件令左翼候选人头疼》：

虽然美国民主社会主义者（DSA）关于废除参议院的提议在政治上可能难以实现，但那些认为其底层反对意见是“疯狂”的批评者，或许可以咨询一些意想不到的激进分子：建国之父。

詹姆斯·麦迪逊（James Madison）认为参议院中各州平等的代表权在根本上是不公正的，而亚历山大·汉密尔顿（Alexander Hamilton）则主张基于人口的立法代表权。各州平等投票权的幸存，并非因为制宪会议将其视为代表制政府的显而易见之原则，而是因为《康涅狄格妥协案》打破了大州和小州之间激烈的僵局。

这种区分在宪法法律中依然存在。在 1964 年的“雷诺兹诉西姆斯案”（Reynolds v. Sims）中，最高法院拒绝将“联邦类比”作为州参议院的理由——此前州参议院允许县等政治分区在不考虑人口的情况下拥有代表权——法院要求两院必须在很大程度上根据人口来分配席位。

而且，两院制本身也绝非神圣不可侵犯：内布拉斯加州在近一个世纪前就废除了其第二个立法议院。

当然，这一切都不能证明废除或保留目前形式的美国参议院是正当的。但这确实表明，关于公民在立法机构中应如何获得代表权的辩论，比 DSA 的历史要悠久得多。

我希望能在户外阅读

噢，我真希望能找到一个户外的角落，在不受蚊子干扰的情况下读一本好书。8月21日周末版的文章《在好书中迷失方向之处》在分享华盛顿特区理想的阅读场所（包括一些户外地点）时，并未提到这个麻烦。对我来说不幸的是，除非我喷洒驱虫剂，否则只要在户外待上五分钟，就会被蚊子叮咬无数次。

我在特区生活了50多年，我记得曾经这个地区的蚊子似乎比现在少。如今，我遗憾地发现，如果我想在不受蚊子干扰的情况下读一本好书，除了待在室内之外几乎没有其他选择。

草坪之争

关于8月17日都市版文章《马里兰州一个学区的草坪之争》：

蒙哥马利县应该吸取康涅狄格州纽黑文的教训：不要再用人造草坪替换天然草坪运动场，并将现有的草坪恢复为天然草草坪。在最近一个气温为90华氏度的下午，我使用红外温度计测量了一所纽黑文公立高中的人造草坪球场表面温度。与塑料草坪旁温度为90度的天然草地相比，人造草坪的温度为135度，而附近的沥青路面为131度。我在附近另一所高中的球场重复了实验，随后在另一个90华氏度的下午再次对这两个球场进行了同样的测量。每次的结果都相似。一名在跑道上行走的人说，由于高温，他的脚感觉像在燃烧。

为马里兰州纳税人节省大量资金，让球场保持天然草地。

大学党派化

我同意约翰·托马西和泰勒·范德维尔在8月28日周五评论文章《如果大学不想保持中立，就应该承认》中的观点。具有意识形态使命的大学应该公开承认这一点。但我不能接受这些机构同时声称追求真理是其使命的一部分。通过意识形态的棱镜观察必然会掩盖并扭曲真理。一所宣布具有意识形态使命的大学，在致力于传播知识和追求真理的传统意义上，已经不再是一所大学。它是一个致力于影响公共政策和学生核心信念的倡导组织。

高尔主义的怀旧之风席卷法国

作者：罗伯特·扎雷茨基 (ROBERT ZARETSKY)

“每个人现在、过去或将来都会成为戴高乐主义者。”法国小说家、冒险家兼法国首任文化部长安德烈·马尔罗 (André Malraux) 的这句名言，在今天看来很少有比现在更贴切的时候。

在过去的几个月里，法国被评论家们称为“戴高乐怀旧症” (gaullo-nostalgie) 的情绪所笼罩——人们渴望像查尔斯·戴高乐 (Charles de Gaulle) 这样一位二战英雄兼总统的人物。正如马尔罗所言，戴高乐是极少数其人生经历足以匹配其传奇色彩的人物之一。

今年夏天，安东宁·鲍德里 (Antonin Baudry) 执导的票房大卖的两部曲传记电影《戴高乐之战》(La Bataille de Gaulle) 的上映，进一步助长了这股怀旧浪潮。（第一部《铁之时代》(L'Âge de fer) 在第二部《我写下你的名字》(J'écris ton nom) 上映前一个月发布。）

诚然，这部基于朱利安·杰克逊 (Julian Jackson) 为戴高乐撰写的宏伟传记《关于法国的某种想法》(A Certain Idea of France) 而改编的电影，今年夏天在法国吸引的观众人数不如克里斯托弗·诺兰 (Christopher Nolan) 的大片《奥德赛》(The Odyssey)，后者在法国票房已累计近 7000万美元。

然而，鲍德里的电影可以被视为对荷马史诗的一次迷人演绎，它引起了 400 万 多名观众的共鸣。毕竟，它讲述了一个男人——戴高乐的故事，他对家园的渴望（希腊语中的“nostalgia”由表示“回家”的 nostos 和表示“痛苦”的 algos 组成）只有在经历了一系列生死挑战，并最终与占领其国土的蛮族进行血腥对抗之后才得以实现。

电影追溯了戴高乐职业生涯的轨迹，从 1940 年开始，当时他还是一个基本不为人知的陆军将军，在赢得少数几次对抗德国人的战斗后，被具有先见之明的温斯顿·丘吉尔 (Winston Churchill) 送往伦敦，并在那里创建了自由法国军队。电影在四年后以盟军解放法国而告终——关键在于，盟军中既包括戴高乐的部队，也包括国内的抵抗运动。（抵抗运动英雄让·穆兰 (Jean Moulin) 在两部电影中都扮演重要角色，他的遗骸于 1964 年在戴高乐和马尔罗的注视下安葬在先贤祠。）

在生前，固执且直言不讳的戴高乐是一个极具争议的人物，他激起的怀疑和厌恶与他赢得的信念和钦佩一样多。然而，自 1970 年去世以来，他在法国公众心中的名声一直保持正面。

本月早些时候，一项 Ipsos-BVA 民意调查显示，87% 的法国受访者认为戴高乐体现了一位政治领导人的理想状态，约 40% 的受访者认为他所代表的最佳政治价值观是“抵抗精神”和“凝聚统一人民的能力”。在 2025 年的一项关于希望哪位第五共和国前总统能重返职位的调查中，55% 的受访者选择了戴高乐，几乎是第二名——戴高乐主义者雅克·希拉克 (Jacques Chirac) 的两倍。

法国人中涌现的这股戴高乐怀旧热潮，恰逢打破纪录的高温波和森林火灾席卷该国大片地区，这并非巧合。对于巴黎人来说，在空调电影院里度过五个小时（两部电影的总时长），或许就像 1944 年看到戴高乐大步走在香榭丽舍大街上一样受欢迎。

此外，剧烈热浪和火灾风暴的威胁，唤起了人们对 1940 年纳粹入侵和占领时那种生存危机的记忆。法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙 (Emmanuel Macron) 在访问被火灾摧毁的南部城镇博尔梅莱米莫萨 (Bormes-les-Mimosas) 期间援引戴高乐精神，这绝非偶然。在谴责了“我们如今所谓的知识、政治和金融精英的悲观主义，他们的失败主义精神与 1940 年时相似，并导致了法国随后的军事失败”之后，

马克龙赞扬了法国人在与火灾抗争中所展现出的“抵抗”精神。

正如法国的大部分自然景观被火灾摧毁得面目全非一样，其政治格局在近年来也经历了重塑。事实上，后者的变化如此剧烈，以至于现在声称继承戴高乐遗产的政党之一——国民联盟（Rassemblement National），正是50年前成立之初名为国民阵线（National Front）的那个政党，而当时的它不仅激烈地反对戴高乐主义，而且还带有反犹主义和反穆斯林色彩。尽管其前领导人玛丽娜·勒庞（Marine Le Pen）已经清除了党内最糟糕的元素，但她依然保留了该党创始人——其父亲让-马里·勒庞（Jean-Marie Le Pen）根深蒂固的排外心理。

在Ipsos-BVA的民意调查中，半数受访者认为当今没有哪个政治人物能够合法地声称自己是戴高乐的继承人，而另一半受访者则意见分歧：在被认为最像其继承人的两位政治人物中，勒庞以13%排名最高，其副手乔丹·巴德拉（Jordan Bardella）以14%紧随其后。大多数其他总统竞选者——从极左翼的梅朗雄（Jean-Luc Mélenchon），到传统左翼的拉斐尔·格鲁克斯曼（Raphaël Glucksmann），再到传统右翼的菲利普（Edouard Philippe）——他们对戴高乐遗产的主张都没有引起共鸣。

在《陨落之橡》（Fallen Oaks）中，马尔罗记录了他与戴高乐在后者去世前不久的一次对话，他宣称：“在6月18日——即1940年戴高乐向法国人发表著名的BBC演说之日——你是孤独的，而今天你依然孤独。也许这就是命中注定。”

当然，戴高乐无法再次出面拯救法国。但在博德里（Baudry）的电影结束时，法国电影院里经常爆发的掌声表明，戴高乐并不孤独。在这些动荡的时代，他的同胞们依然在追随他的榜样。

南卡罗来纳州的参议院选举刚刚创造了历史

哥伦比亚，南卡罗来纳州

参议员达琳·格雷厄姆（Darline Graham，共和党-南卡罗来纳州）在周二的初选决胜轮中获胜。 SAM WOLFF / REFUTERS

已故的林赛·格雷厄姆在天堂一定欣喜若狂。

他深爱的妹妹达琳·格雷厄姆在周二的共和党初选决胜轮中，赢得了他即将到期的参议院席位，击败了美国众议员拉尔夫·诺曼（Ralph Norman）。诺曼一个显著的劣势是，他在2024年初选中支持前南卡罗来纳州州长尼基·黑利（Nikki Haley）对抗当时的总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普。

在政治方面，特朗普就像一头大象。他记得自己的敌人，长期心怀怨恨并寻求报复。特朗普的忠诚计算方式显然不认可诺曼此前表现出的推翻2020年总统选举结果的意愿。（林赛·格雷厄姆投票认证了选举结果，而他的妹妹在周一被问及是否会这样做时则避而不谈。）

特朗普将达琳·格雷厄姆从一个相对默默无闻的州政府雇员，一夜之间重塑为美国参议院候选人的过程，简直是政治传奇。总统不仅支持共和党州长亨利·麦克马斯特（Henry McMaster）任命她作为其兄长剩余任期的临时接替者，还游说她竞选这个为期六年的席位。果不其然，她接受了他的挑战，并迅速进入了镜头状态。

她立即让人想起了曾经的共和党阿拉斯加州州长莎拉·佩林（Sarah Palin），佩林当年被从猎驼鹿的田野中挖掘出来，戏剧性地被注入到时任参议员约翰·麦凯恩（John McCain）2008年的总统竞选中担任竞选搭档。

与佩林一样，格雷厄姆具有一种真实的乡土吸引力，能与人们在餐桌旁沟通。但同样像佩林一样，她还没有为国家舞台做好准备。当她在那个被广泛讨论的关于台湾和南海是否对国家安全至关重要的问题上出错，表示自己对此课题并不精通时，政治评论界可能认为她完蛋了。显然，事实并非如此。

不出所料，特朗普将格雷厄姆的胜利归功于自己。一个与特朗普相关的超级政治行动委员会（super PAC）在她身上花费了近$800,000。上周五，他前往南卡罗来纳州的默特尔比奇参加集会，告诉人群：“请假装我的名字也在选票上。”

即便如此，我不会把所有的掌声都给特朗普。请记住，诺曼最近在寻求州长提名时被共和党选民拒绝过。而且格雷厄姆的获胜幅度很小，在与诺曼的初选决胜轮中获得了52.5 percent的选票。

大部分功劳应归于候选人本身。或许这与直觉相反，如果你不是本地人，格雷厄姆所做的最聪明的事情就是坦诚且毫无歉意地回答了那个外交政策问题。她简单、直接的回答是真诚的，并且在听众心中产生了共鸣。

“我只想诚实地说，”她说道，并补充说国家安全“不是我的强项”。但事实上，在此时此刻，为什么非得是她的强项呢？格雷厄姆刚刚埋葬了帮助抚养她的哥哥，在还没来得及悲痛之前就被匆忙推向了就职仪式。在如此压力下能够出席本身就是一个奇迹。

许多人，如果不是大多数人的话，在面对南海问题的回答中看到了自己的影子。有时，承认自己不知道问题的答案，能让候选人获得与一个完美回答相当的认可。人是可以学习的。对于那些努力维持生计的普通人来说，更重要的是人品和诚实，而这一事实反而增加了特朗普掌控南卡罗来纳州的神秘感。

毫无疑问，林赛·格雷厄姆本可以对此做出解释。他也可以就台湾问题发表一篇论文，同时可能还会逗我们一笑。我们将对此感到惋惜。他的去世是对 MAGA 世界以及特朗普的沉重打击，因为在大多数情况下，特朗普可以依靠这位高尔夫球友来传递火炬。林赛·格雷厄姆的朋友们也证实，他曾多次尝试引导总统远离一些更为危险的冲动。新任命的参议员在这方面可能帮不上什么忙。

最后，在那些被掩盖的线索中，南卡罗来纳州现在有两名女性在竞争参议院席位。到11月时，达琳·格雷厄姆可能会更熟悉相关议题，并且在面对民主党挑战者安妮·安德鲁斯时，确实已经准备好迎接正式竞争。安德鲁斯是一名儿科医生，同样从未担任过选举产生公职。格雷厄姆已经摆出了战斗姿态，称安德鲁斯是“南卡罗来纳州民主党在州级公职提名中出现的最激进的自由主义者”。

与此同时，民主党人告诉我，他们正在庆祝格雷厄姆战胜诺曼，并表示相信安德鲁斯将在辩论中击败她。在这位资深参议员去世之前的内部民调显示，安德鲁斯仅落后他三个百分点。

无论结果如何，南卡罗来纳州的选民将首次在历史上选出一名女性进入参议院——这是一次迟到的修正，林赛·格雷厄姆可能会对此表示赞赏。

大学橄榄球卡特尔希望与国会共商对策

顶级大学橄榄球赛季将于周六开始。在另一个职业联赛——NFL（美国职业橄榄球大联盟）成为干扰项之前，请考虑以下三个命题。

橄榄球是一个错误。人体，尤其是大脑，并非为了承受其重复性的碰撞而构造。在文化上，大学橄榄球满足了人类对部落主义的渴望，而幸运的是，美国的个人主义精神对此持反对态度。而且，与高等教育挂钩的顶级橄榄球运动，突然之间，具有了教育意义。

它向我们揭示了联邦政府规模扩大的两个原因：许多人对此有需求；同样，当社会的大型利益集团陷入困境时，他们也会如此要求。一个陷入混乱的卡特尔——大学橄榄球产业——在工人阶级（即球员）突然获得解放后，需要国会的帮助来恢复秩序。

本周《纽约时报》的一篇报道指出，由于比赛产生的动能，至少每 4 名 NFL 球员中就有 1 人可能会最终患上神经退行性脑疾病（包括认知受损、情绪波动、行为异常、成瘾甚至自杀），球迷们对橄榄球的热情不太可能因此而减弱。根据 NCAA 的新规则，球员现在被允许参加长达五年的大学橄榄球比赛。这段时间可能足以让那些没有晋升到 NFL 的球员也面临风险。本周，东南部联盟（Southeastern Conference）和十大联盟（Big Ten Conference）发现了其宽容度的极限：他们阻止了路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）——一个类似于朝鲜的特立独行的橄榄球项目——招募两名曾参加过 NFL季前训练营但希望重返大学的球员。在大学里，资金保障更确定，有时甚至更多。

然而，规则的制定者可以让参赛资格规则变得更加宽松。这些制定者是处于财务军备竞赛中的大学和体育联盟。但军备控制可能会到来，且来自国会。

大学体育部门已与筹款“集体”（collectives）紧密交织，捐赠者通过这些集体为赛场上的成功提供资金。一些业内人士表示，对于那些管理着 $40 阵容的四分卫，每年可能需要（至少）$5。

对于顶尖的橄榄球项目来说，成功意味着在季后赛中走得足够远。季后赛始于 2014 赛季，当时只有 4 支球队，随后在 2024 年扩大到 12.。不久后可能会增加到 24 支球队。否则，那些在常规赛中输掉（例如）第三场比赛的球队球迷将会失去兴趣，因为一旦季后赛遥不可及，这种练习就变得毫无意义。

制定宽松资格规则的是正处于财务军备竞赛中的大学和体育联盟。但军备控制或许即将到来。

但即便只有 12, 也可能出现不匹配的情况：体育竞技是精英主义的，除非限制球员的自由，否则人才将流向出价最高者。例如俄亥俄州立大学，因在 36 个体育项目的球员制服上印制大通银行（Chase Bank）的标志，每年将获得约 1700万美元。

在如今这种几乎没有规则的体制下，最强的少数派比追随者成长得更快。可怜的阿肯色大学，正是一个追随者。

阿肯色州是泰森食品（Tyson Foods）和沃尔玛（Walmart）的所在地，但该州的人均家庭收入中位数在全国排名第四低。《The Athletic》的塞斯·埃默森（Seth Emerson）报道称，该校的体育总监表示：“我认为，就人均而言，我们州拥有全美最深厚的亿万富翁底蕴，但就人均而言，我们的百万富翁群体却是最浅的。”

阿肯色大学能与佐治亚大学或佛罗里达大学竞争吗？如果没有国会的帮助，它做不到。

运动员通过“转会门户”行使自由球员身份，这会导致少数财务状况最健康的足球项目占据绝对主导地位。国会可能会通过强制执行竞争平衡来拯救大多数学校，形式可以是覆盖每所学校所有体育项目的全国性支出上限。这是由德克萨斯州的泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）和华盛顿州的玛丽亚·坎特韦尔（Maria Cantwell）起草的《保护大学体育法案》（Protect College Sports Act）的一部分，两人分别是参议院商务委员会的共和党主席和民主党首席成员。

在纠结于国会肯定有更重要的事情要处理（如战争、赤字）之前，请承认两件事：大学足球绝对属于州际贸易。而且关注它的人比关注伊朗战争的人更多。

如果球员为学校创造了数百万美元的收入，他们是否是其机构的雇员？如果是，那么集体谈判是否是下一步？可以肯定的是，“学生运动员”和“业余主义”这些令人腻烦的词汇已经被弃用了。

大学体育卡特尔在一个对其而言如同伊甸园般的乐土中繁荣了一个世纪：广播权利润飙升，而劳动力成本对卡特尔而言几乎为零。然而现在，为了保护竞争平衡，限制球员的薪酬和自由球员身份符合大多数学校、球员和球迷的利益。

在体育场观众的欢呼声之下，你可能很快会听到大学足球卡特尔在被国会救活时发出的满足的叹息。请将此视为国会能够（在某种程度上）修复某些事物的证据，并从中获得一定的满足感。

普里布拉在第0周扮演英雄

弗吉尼亚 34, 北卡罗来纳州立 8

四分卫成为对阵狼群队表现出色的新骑手之一

作者：DAVID TEEL 《弗吉尼亚先驱报》（Virginian-Pilot）

夏洛茨维尔 —— 将大学橄榄球引入南美洲、巴西和里约热内卢的新鲜感与特权已成过去。从科科瓦多山俯瞰的救世基督像的景象也已远去。

但是，周六下午在弗吉尼亚大学座无虚席的斯科特体育场，骑手队以 34-8 击败 ACC 竞争对手北卡罗来纳州立大学，收获了巨大的胜利。

“我们刚刚展示了我们是一支[什么样的]球队，”防守端球员费舍尔·卡马克说道。

赛季揭幕战可能比大卫·科波菲尔的魔术更具欺骗性，但以下是一些初步印象。

普里布拉赢得尊重

四分卫博·普里布拉（Beau Pribula）正如宣传的那样充满活力，或者正如近端锋达科塔·特威蒂（Dakota Twitty）本周所说：“那家伙很有冲劲。”

在弗吉尼亚大学第一节的 15 次进攻快照中，普里布拉有 6 次在奔跑，对于他的位置来说，这是一个不健康的比例，但至少进攻协调员德斯·基钦斯（Des Kitchings）随后减轻了他的负担。普里布拉最终通过 15 次携带球跑动获得了 110 码，其中大部分是设计好的跑动，包括两次 22 码的冲刺。

“我喜欢博的跑动方式，”弗吉尼亚大学教练托尼·埃利奥特（Tony Elliott）说，“但每场比赛 15 次携带球跑动可能不是我们想要生存的方式。”

“为了赢得橄榄球比赛，我愿意做任何必要的事情，”来自密苏里大学的转校生普里布拉说道。

二线防守升级

像安全卫布兰登·希尔曼（Brandyn Hillman）以及角卫奥米利奥·阿加德（Omillio Agard）和雅各比·亨德森（Jacobie Henderson）这样的转校球员——他们都拥有 Power Four 联赛的资历——显著提升了弗吉尼亚大学的二线防守。希尔曼的一次纵身拦截和强迫掉球是骑手队半场领先 17-0 的关键，而角卫们则锁死了狼群队缺乏经验的接球手。

“显然，我们拥有一些优秀的后卫，”希尔曼谦虚地表示。

他们在周六的表现如此出色，以至于北卡罗来纳州立大学的四分卫 CJ 贝利（CJ Bailey）仅传球获得 84 码，这是他在 23 次职业首发中首次低于 100 码。

“那个四分卫很特别，”埃利奥特在谈到贝利时说，“到赛季结束时我们会看到这一点。”

也许吧。贝利此前表现过出色，包括在对阵——见 B4 页的骑手队报道

对于许多在宾夕法尼亚州中北部校园（该校园拥有两座小联盟规模的体育场以及一系列活动场所和商店）漫步的人，以及数百万在家里观看的观众来说，拉韦奇已经成为了这个 8 月下旬棒球节的代名词。自 1987 年以来，ESPN 每年都转播这一赛事，而这已经是他担任解说员的第 20 年。在比赛前、比赛间隙以及比赛结束后，他都会在人群中穿行，每天花一个多小时拍照并与那些在远处大喊他名字的“孩子们”聊天。

卡瓦利受伤，但国民队绝杀获胜

国民队 5，马林鱼队 4（10局）

先发投手被击中后，克鲁斯挺身而出

作者：丹妮尔·艾伦塔克

整个赛季，尤其是过去一个月里，在凯德·卡瓦利先发的日子里，华盛顿国民队的更衣室里一直有一种氛围。他有时凭一己之力支撑起整个球队——在本月早些时候国民队 3 胜 12 负的低迷期中，他们唯一的胜利都来自他的先发场次。

周六，华盛顿再次对卡瓦利充满信心。但在第四局两出局时，正当他让迈阿密马林鱼队无法击球时，哈维尔·萨诺哈一个时速 93 英里的回击球击中了他的右小腿。他捡起球并传给阿比梅莱克·奥尔蒂斯以确保第三个出局数，然后跛步走下球场，直接进入球员通道，一名训练师和经理布莱克·布特拉紧随其后。

卡瓦利无法返回赛场，因为他的小腿肌肉过于紧张。但在牛棚投手浪费掉 4-0 的领先优势后，奥兰多·里巴尔塔在第 10 局上半场表现出色，为迪伦·克鲁斯成为英雄铺平了道路。这位外野手在两出局时击出的一支单打——他职业生涯中的第一次绝杀击球——为国民队带来了本赛季首次绝杀胜利，比分为 5-4。

“那个时刻大概是我加入这支球队以来最好的时刻，”克鲁斯说。

卡瓦利周六的状态并非处于巅峰。在第一局让对方三人出局后，这位右投手在第二局导致垒上满员。他最终化解了危机，通过让欧文·凯西和乔·麦克出局来结束该局。

华盛顿在第三局给卡瓦利提供了一些支持，这得益于迈阿密防守方的失误。在戴伦·莱尔在一垒、何塞·特纳在二垒的情况下，克鲁斯击出了一个靠近一垒线弱小的地滚球。捕手麦克试图用下手投球传给一垒的凯尔·斯托尔斯，但球传过了他，导致两分入账。

国民队随后凭借布雷迪·豪斯的打点单打又增加了一分，接着由乔比特·维瓦斯击出一支二垒安打，球在左外野手赫里贝托·埃尔南德斯的球套上弹开，再次得分。

这使得国民队以 4-0 领先。当卡瓦利跛步走下球场进入通道时，他们依然保持着领先。他在通道里尝试投了几个球，但最终决定不继续比赛是对自己最有利的选择。他说，赛后他的小腿很酸，感觉像抽筋一样。国民队将在周日观察他的感受，但他们预计这不会成为长期问题。

法拉盛之战，胜负难料

辛纳缺席，阿尔卡拉斯状态生疏，萨巴伦卡陷入低谷，赛事缺乏热门人选

作者：布莱恩·马奥尼（BRIAN MAHONEY） 美联社

纽约——卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯和亚尼克·辛纳让去年的美国公开赛感觉就像是在等待必然结果的两周消磨时间。

他们在法网和温网决赛中相遇，将自己与男子网球界的其他所有人区分开来。他们将连续第三次会师决赛似乎已成定局，而事实也确实如此。

随着排名第一的辛纳被排除在赛外，阿尔卡拉斯在缺席四个月后才刚刚回归卫冕，而诺瓦克·德约科维奇或许终于显露出了年龄的痕迹，美国公开赛再次让人感觉到，嗯，机会对每个人都开放。

但不要将这意味着比赛变得更容易。

“讨论的内容是一样的，”美国选手弗朗西斯·蒂亚福说道，“无论你怎么看，仍然得击败七个人。”

女子组也有其自身的问题。两届卫冕冠军阿里娜·萨巴伦卡在温网第四轮出局，且在此之后参加的两场硬地赛事表现不佳，这使她对世界第一排名的掌控陷入危机。

多位女性选手都有机会触及排名榜首，同样有机会在今年的最后一个大满贯赛事中捧杯。排名第三的杰西卡·佩古拉表示，现在没有“一两个超级强势的球员，让你觉得必须等他们输球你才有机会”。

“在我看来，某种程度上可能更开放——因为，我不知道，机会更多了，”佩古拉补充道。她在2024年决赛和去年的半决赛中均输给了萨巴伦卡。

比赛于周日开始，佩古拉将参加亚瑟·阿什球场的揭幕战，德约科维奇将领衔夜场比赛，随后 46 岁的维纳斯·威廉姆斯将对阵索菲亚·肯宁。

北卡罗来纳大学 Tar Heels 队获胜，开启比利奇时代的第二年

北卡罗来纳大学的新四分卫比利·爱德华兹二世（Billy Edwards Jr.）传球码数达到 232 码，艾伦·伯雷尔（Aeron Burrell）踢进两个射门。在都柏林一个阴雨天举行的 Aer Lingus 大学橄榄球经典赛中，Tar Heels 队以 15-10 击败了 TCU 队，开启了主教练比尔·比利奇（Bill Belichick）在教堂山（Chapel Hill）的第二个赛季。

Horned Frogs 队在前两次进攻中取得 10-3 的领先之后便再未得分。TCU 队随后又获得了 8 次球权，但在最后两次进攻中，他们在北卡罗来纳大学阵地深处的一次四档短距离进攻中被拦截。

现年 74 岁的比利奇曾在执教新英格兰爱国者队期间赢得六次超级碗冠军，去年他在执教 Tar Heels 队的大学首秀中战绩为 4-8。那个赛季在劳动节黄金时段的一场主场比赛中，以 48-14 输给了 TCU 队。

在 TCU 队新四分卫杰登·克雷格（Jaden Craig）在北卡罗来纳大学 10 码线处的一次四档二码进攻中传球未果后，Tar Heels 队耗尽了最后 4:05 的时间；而这位来自哈佛大学的转校生当时本可能通过奔跑获得一次首攻机会。...

转校四分卫汤米·卡斯特利亚诺斯（Tommy Castellanos）在赛季揭幕战一周前正式被加入到排名第 12 的德克萨斯理工大学（Texas Tech）名单中。

主教练乔伊·麦奎尔（Joey McGuire）表示，球队一直打算在本赛季的名单中保留六名四分卫。在转校生布伦丹·索斯比（Brendan Sorsby）因赌博被宣布失去参赛资格，并随后撤回了寻求恢复资格的诉讼后，从 10 月 ACL 伤势中恢复的威尔·哈蒙德（Will Hammond）成为了首发。

波加查因车祸退出西班牙环路赛

美联社

西班牙，塞拉科 —— 五届环法冠军塔代伊·波加查在周六的一场惊险车祸中被甩出车把，被迫退出西班牙环路赛。

这名斯洛文尼亚车手在路面上出现一块滚动石块导致失控后，遭受了脑震荡并导致两处骨折，其中一处需要手术。

“塔代伊被诊断为脑震荡、左锁骨移位骨折、C7颈椎稳定骨折以及多处擦伤，”阿联酋航空队（UAE Team Emirates）医疗总监阿德里安·罗图诺表示，并补充说他“没有其他重大伤势，也没有神经系统后遗症”。

电视画面显示，波加查的头部、左臂和肩膀有伤口。他向右猛打方向，撞向其他骑手，当时他似乎在试图避开路上的某个物体。他失去了

赛道领先者旨在实现职业生涯大满贯，现患有脑震荡及骨折

控制并飞过了车把，头部和肩膀着地。

这位阿联酋航空队的领骑员试图重新骑上自行车，但无法继续比赛，随后走向救护车。

波加查此前正试图成为第九位在三大环赛中均获得冠军的男骑手。他在7月第三次连续赢得环法冠军，并追平纪录第五次获得总冠军，且在2024年赢得了环意赛。

“这不是任何人的责任。……不幸的是，这纯粹是自行车运动中会发生的事情之一，”阿联酋航空队体育经理马钦·约克森·费尔南德斯在谈到这次车祸时表示。

波加查在赢得首个赛段后一直处于领先地位。在周六的赛段之前，他领先于来自移动星队（Movistar）的恩里克·马斯 3 分 50 秒。该赛段没有太大的难度，在从普索尔到塞拉科的 171 公里（106 英里）平坦路线上，为冲刺手提供了表现机会。来自科菲迪斯队（Cofidis）的布莱恩·科夸尔在马兹·佩德森和乔迪·米乌斯之前夺得了该赛段冠军。

马斯从波加查手中接过了领骑衫，成为自 2018 年赫苏斯·埃拉达以来首位领跑该赛事的西班牙骑手。普里莫日·罗格利奇总成绩排名第二，落后 1 分钟，费利克斯·加尔排名第三，落后 1:11。

31 岁的马斯在赛后颁奖仪式上接过领骑红衫时并未穿上，而只是将其举起。在赛后的电视采访中，他也没有穿着这件衣服。

“因为一场车祸而获得红衫，感觉并不好，”他在翻译后的评论中告诉欧洲体育台（Eurosport）。

在美网公开赛，局面完全开放

美网公开赛（接B1版）

准备在这次赛事中回归，他曾在该赛事中赢得了其七个大满贯冠军中的两个。

最近的一次是在澳大利亚公开赛，但他在不久后出局。亚历山大·兹维列夫赢得了法网公开赛，获得了他的首个大满贯冠军，随后在温网决赛中输给了辛纳；接着，由于辛纳判定自那次胜利以来一直让他缺席的膝伤尚未完全痊愈，兹维列夫成为了法拉盛公园（美网）的1号种子。

“现在已经有几个月时间情况都差不多了：充满了不确定性，一些顶尖球员受伤了或者没有参赛。这次情况也类似，所以我们看到很多不同的球员在崭露头角，很多不同的机会正等待着人们去争取，”来自澳大利亚的6号种子亚历克斯·德米诺（Alex de Minaur）说道。

2021年美网公开赛冠军丹尼尔·梅德韦杰夫指出了兹维列夫和阿瑟·菲尔斯（Arthur Fils）等球员——后者在来到纽约之前击败了蒂亚福赢得了辛辛那提公开赛冠军——这些球员知道现在有一个他们不想浪费的机会。

“对他们来说，他们可能在考虑这件事——不是以一种糟糕的方式，而是觉得，‘没有詹尼克（辛纳），我们的机会更大，而且也许卡洛斯（阿尔卡拉斯）还没有恢复到100%的状态，’”7号种子梅德韦杰夫说道。

德约科维奇在辛辛那提赛的第一场比赛中出局，随后提到了一种在高温环境下困扰他的未指明的健康问题。这可能会让这位39岁、拥有24次大满贯单打冠军的球员在纽约再次进行长时间的冲刺变得困难。

美国男选手仍试图结束自2003年美网公开赛安迪·罗迪克以来的大满贯冠军荒。本·谢尔顿在蒙特利尔获胜，随后蒂亚福在辛辛那提获得亚军，而泰勒·弗里茨在2024年的纽约决赛中输给了辛纳。

“我想说这是一个黄金机会，”ESPN评论员帕特里克·麦克恩罗（Patrick McEnroe）表示。“显然，如果阿尔卡拉斯回归并经过几场比赛后状态良好，他将迅速成为热门。我的意思是，他现在就是热门，但他会迅速成为一个更强力的热门。毫无疑问，在他自春季以来没有参赛，且辛纳缺席的情况下，这是一个巨大的机会。”

在澳大利亚公开赛决赛中击败萨巴伦卡的叶莲娜·里巴金娜，正与佩古拉以及4号种子科科·高夫一起竞争世界第一的排名。根据其他比赛结果，即使萨巴伦卡成为自2012-14年小威廉姆斯以来首位连续三次赢得美网公开赛冠军的球员，她仍可能失去榜首位置。

“我会尽我最大的努力，看看这次比赛结束时会发生什么，”萨巴伦卡说道。

她可能处于弱势，但阿尔卡拉斯或许更加如此。在2025年，似乎只有一个人能击败他。而这一次，这个名单可能会很长。

“我的意思是，他永远是我们关注的对象，但很多球员相信他们不仅能击败他，还能赢得整个赛事，”蒂亚福说道。“这将是一届令人兴奋的美网公开赛。”

海鹰队签下深陷困境的角卫阿诺德

角卫特里翁·阿诺德（Terrion Arnold）面临八项重罪指控，在联盟调查其案件期间，他不能在西雅图参加比赛或训练。 JUNFU HAN / USA TODAY NETWORK

美联社

西雅图海鹰队周六正式签下了角卫特里翁·阿诺德。他目前在佛罗里达州面临重罪指控，在案件审理期间将被列入委员豁免名单。

阿诺德，23，面临八项重罪指控，这些指控源于他涉嫌在2月份策划绑架并殴打三名男子的指控。他在6月份成为自由球员，当时底特律狮子队在他被指控绑架、武装抢劫和共谋几天后将其裁掉。

由于被列入豁免名单，阿诺德将不被允许在海鹰队参加比赛或训练，但在联盟调查其案件期间，他可以领取薪水并参加球队会议。目前尚不清楚他何时能重返赛场。

海鹰队在两周前与阿诺德达成协议。教练迈克·麦克唐纳（Mike Macdonald）当时表示，球队了解签下阿诺德所带来的影响。

“我们也明白这是一个涉及法律问题的严重情况。这背后有一套流程，所以我们尊重这一点，”麦克唐纳说。“这就是我们的运作方式，就是让流程走完，由联盟决定他是否以及何时能回归比赛。我们会意识到这一点，但同时这也是一个将他带到这里并给他机会争取一个位置的机会。”

• 包装工队：格林贝教练马特·拉弗勒（Matt LaFleur）表示，球队没有计划裁掉跑卫乔什·雅各布斯（Josh Jacobs）。雅各布斯面临两项轻罪指控，起因是警方描述的一场与女友的肢体冲突。

“我完全预计他将成为我们球队的一员，”拉弗勒在周五晚上表示。此前，包装工队以 42-38 击败亚利桑那红雀队，结束了他们的季前赛赛程。

威斯康星州布朗县（Brown County）检察官办公室周四对雅各布斯提起殴打和故意损坏财产的轻罪指控。这些指控源于三个月前发生的一起事件。

当被问及雅各布斯是否能参加包装工队 9月13日 对阵明尼苏达维京人的赛季揭幕战时，拉弗勒回答说：“我真的无法对此发表评论，因为我不知道。”

雅各布斯于 5月26日 被捕，此前警方接到报案前往其家中调查一起骚乱事件，他于次日出狱。

• 巨人队：为了进一步增强防守线，纽约巨人队通过与巴尔的摩乌鸦队的交易获得了 CJ Okoye。

教练约翰·哈博（John Harbaugh）确认，巨人队向他的前东家提供了一个 2028 年的第七轮选秀权，以换取这名来自尼日利亚的 24 岁球员。

“我们将他视为一名内线防守者，一名防守截锋，能够覆盖 A 缝和 B 缝的球员，在跑球防守中是拦截者，在传球进攻中是口袋推进者，总之是一个体型庞大、充满力量的球员，”哈博在与记者的视频通话中说道。“他是我们一直在寻找的那类球员，我们非常兴奋能把他带到这里。”

• 捷豹队：杰克逊维尔捷豹队从迈阿密海豚队获得了四分卫奎因·尤尔斯（Quinn Ewers），以换取 2028 年选秀中的一个第六轮选择权。

此举尚待体检通过，这可能意味着替补球员尼克·穆伦斯（Nick Mullens）在捷豹队的时间即将结束。穆伦斯在整个训练营和季前赛期间表现不稳定。如果穆伦斯被裁掉，将节省 $1.200 万，并在工资帽中计入 $1.300 万 的死钱。

23 岁的尤尔斯曾在德克萨斯大学就读，于 2025 年在第七轮被迈阿密队选中。他上赛季参加了四场比赛，其中三次首发。

• 比尔队：一名知情人士告诉美联社，布法罗比尔队已通知资深弃踢手米奇·威什诺夫斯基（Mitch Wishnowsky）将被裁掉，球队已开始为赛季开始进行人员削减。

该人士表示，Wishnowsky 被裁掉的消息将于周日正式公布，届时所有 NFL 球队都必须确定其 53 人的球员名单。由于球队尚未宣布此举，该人士在要求匿名的条件下发表了上述言论。

与此同时，比尔队宣布裁掉 13 名球员，其中包括资深外接手 / 弃踢回攻手 Mecole Hardman。

• 牛仔队：一名知情人士表示，达拉斯从匹兹堡钢人队获得了进攻截锋 Broderick Jones，后者是 2023 年的第一轮选秀球员。

该交易包括选秀权的交换。

匹兹堡将 Jones 以及 2027 年选秀的第四轮选秀权送至达拉斯，以换取牛仔队的第三轮和第六轮选秀权。

Jones 在 2023 年选秀中以总第 14 顺位被选中，来自乔治亚大学。在效力钢人队的三个赛季中，他在参加的 45 场比赛中首发 38 场。

阵容更新的特洛伊人队赛季首战告捷

三年级四分卫杰登·马亚瓦（Jayden Maiava）在排名第14的南加州大学（USC）建立35-3的领先优势并最终在主场轻松获胜的比赛中，完成了29次传球中的25次。

南加州大学 42, 圣何塞州立大学 26

作者：格雷格·比彻姆（GREG BEACHAM）

洛杉矶 —— 杰登·马亚瓦传球获得286码并完成两次达阵，同时通过冲球获得另一次得分。周六，排名第14的南加州大学以42-26击败圣何塞州立大学，开启了充满高期待的新赛季。

特伦特·莫斯利（Trent Mosley）这位来自橙县的球员在为特洛伊人队完成的惊艳首秀中，接球7次，获得118码并完成一次达阵。在教练林肯·赖利（Lincoln Riley）的进攻体系中，南加州大学展示了几名极具潜力的新人。凯登·迪克森-怀亚特（Kayden Dixon-Wyatt）也在首秀中接到了一个达阵传球，而赖利·沃姆利（Riley Wormley）和沙恩·阿尔斯顿（Shahn Alston）则分别通过冲球完成了他们的首次达阵。

凭借围绕马亚瓦构建的更新后的阵容，南加州大学志在进入大学足球季后赛（College Football Play-off）。在洛杉矶纪念体育场的比赛中，马亚瓦在进入第四节前完成了29次传球中的25次，帮助特洛伊人队建立了35-3的领先优势。在接球的10名球员中，有6人是首次为南加州大学出战。

“在前三节中我们完全主导了比赛，”赖利说道，“有很多令人兴奋的球。很多首次代表特洛伊人队出战的球员在场上完成了许多关键发挥。”

马亚瓦在首轮进攻中通过冲球得分，开启了他的第三个赛季首发四分卫生涯。迪克森-怀亚特在第二节接到了一个短距离斜线达阵传球，而2025年的突破之星金·米勒（King Miller）在半场结束前通过冲球完成达阵，将比分扩大为28-0。

莫斯利无缝融入了南加州大学的比赛计划，在马亚瓦的传球中获得了全队最高的9次接球目标，并展现出了使其成为赖利招募大捷的灵活性。莫斯利最长的一次接球达到了33码，接球后的推进距离为52码。

“他基本上就是把在训练中表现出的样子带到了比赛里，”赖利说，“我想这里没有人感到惊讶。这基本上就是他大多数时候的表现。”

莫斯利还完成了一次41码的弃踢回攻，他以一种令队友们欢呼的优雅姿态避开了几名斯巴达人队球员。

“那孩子动作与众不同，”米勒说，“我的意思是，他很特别。我喜欢看他比赛。”

新任防守协调员

加里·帕特森（Gary Patterson）率领的防守组在第四节之前表现得相当犀利。但在第四节，圣何塞州立大学的新任四分卫卢克·韦弗（Luke Weaver）带领球队在面对南加州大学的替补防守球员时完成了三次末段达阵进攻，从而缩小了最终的分差。

“第四节的表现没有达到我们的标准，”赖利说，“一群球员得到了机会，其中几个人没有发挥出我们预期的水平。这将有许多需要学习和成长的地方。……从首发球员的表现来看，这本该是一场个位数分差的比赛。”

来自夏威夷的转会球员韦弗传球获得234码，并在第四节分别向杰里·麦克卢尔（Jerry McClure）和乔丹·安德森（Jordan Anderson）传球达阵，随后又为圣何塞州立大学冲球得分。在教练肯·纽马塔洛洛（Ken Niumatalolo）第三个赛季的首战中，斯巴达人队彻底翻新的阵容将从这次强劲的收尾中获得信心。

“这是他们全年将面对的最强球队，而我们的球员能够跑出空档，”纽马塔洛洛说，“我们能够对他们进行防守，这些事情令人鼓舞。……而且当局面陷入僵局时，看到卢克能够延长进攻回合令人兴奋。这对我们的未来将是一个好兆头。”

备注：尽管几名预期的关键贡献者因伤缺阵，包括明星防守截锋贾基姆·斯图尔特（Jahkeem Stewart）以及预定的首发接球手塔努克·海因斯（Tanook Hines）和特雷尔·安德森（Terrell Anderson），但特洛伊人队依然赢得了比赛。

龟类队翻新外接手阵容旨在助力华盛顿

HANNAH FOSLIEN / 为《华盛顿邮报》拍摄 在奥克塔维安·史密斯二世（右）及其他人毕业后，中锋卡莱布·韦伯（Kaleb Webb）成为了马里兰大学外接手位置上少数留队的球员之一。

三名转会球员将有机会提升这个未经证明的单位

作者：爱德华·李（EDWARD LEE）

纳伊姆·阿卜杜勒-拉希姆·格拉丁（Na'eem Abdul-Rahim Gladding）是马里兰大学橄榄球队的新成员。或许并不令人意外，这位来自旧多明尼昂大学（Old Dominion）的转会球员对这个连续两个赛季经历 4-8 战绩苦战的项目抱有很高期望。

“我们还没有进行任何比赛，但与此同时，我觉得我们在进攻端绝对是在向正确的方向转变，尤其是在训练营期间，甚至在春季和夏季的训练中，”他在最近一次在斯蒂芬·M·沙恩瓦尔德（Stephen M. Schanwald）球场进行的训练后表示。“我们每天都在采取措施，让自己进步 1%。”

大三学生格拉丁加入了一个外接手小组，其任务是帮助“龟类队”（Terps）取得进步，尤其是在胜负记录方面。他们正寻求自 2023 年以来首次实现胜率超过 .500 的记录，以及自 2014 年（该校首次加入该联盟）以来在 Big Ten 联盟中首次达到 .500 的胜率。

毕业给外接手阵容带来了沉重打击，球队失去了贾利尔·法鲁克（Jalil Farooq）、谢利克·诺茨（Shaleak Knotts）和奥克塔维安·史密斯二世（Octavian Smith Jr.）。这三人去年共计完成 145 次接球，获得 1,791 码码数和 10 次达阵，并帮助四分卫马利克·华盛顿（Malik Washington）传球获得 2,963 码，这是所有 NCAA 橄榄球碗分部（FBS）新生中的最高纪录。

红衫大四球员卡莱布·韦伯（Kaleb Webb）作为球队领先的外接手回归，他拥有 22 次接球、318 码码数和两次达阵；红衫大三球员瑞安·曼宁（Ryan Manning）和红衫大一球员齐米尔·史密斯（Zymear Smith）合计完成 5 次接球，获得 19 码码数。华盛顿还依赖于红衫大二跑卫德胡安·威廉姆斯（DeJuan Williams），他以 45 次接球获得 426 码，创下了该项目跑卫单赛季接球码数记录，并增加了一次得分；以及红衫大三近端锋多里安·弗莱明（Dorian Fleming），他完成了 40 次接球，获得 351 码码数和三次达阵。

身高 6 英尺 5 英寸、体重 201 磅的韦伯表示，在休赛期与外接手教练拉特雷尔·斯科特（Latrell Scott）的频繁讨论让他意识到期望值很高。

“他想向我灌输这样一个观念，即他对我有很大的信心，并期望我在这里的第一年和第二年之间实现巨大的飞跃，”他说。“坦白说，我很兴奋。去年，我只想充分利用我所拥有的机会。所以今年我想保持同样的心态，我觉得之后的一切都会自然而然地解决。”

为了改善这种情况，马里兰大学招募了三名转会球员，全部为大三学生。身高 6 英尺 0 英寸、体重 190 磅的格拉丁在旧多明尼昂大学的接球数（51 次）和达阵接球数（6 次）均排名第一，并因此被评为太阳带会议（Sun Belt）荣誉提名成员；身高 5 英尺 11 英寸、体重 173 磅的克里斯·杜尔二世（Chris Durr Jr.）在怀俄明大学的接球数（45 次）、码数（469 码）和达阵数（4 次）均领先；身高 6 英尺 0 英寸、体重 190 磅的埃贾尼·沙基尔（Ejani Shakir）在独立社区学院（堪萨斯州）的接球数（43 次）、码数（724 码）和达阵数（6 次）均排名第一，并被评为堪萨斯杰鹰社区学院会议（Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference）第一阵容成员。

格伦伯尼（Glen Burnie）本地人、斯波尔丁（Spalding）毕业生的华盛顿表示，他信任他的外接手。

“我们的接球兵团里有一些非常优秀的球员，”他说。“那些小伙子们在各展其能。我为他们以及他们所承担的一切感到非常自豪。”

教练迈克尔·洛克斯利（Michael Locksley）承认，他认为去年的阵容足够有才华，本可以产生更高的效率。他也喜欢今年外接手们所展现出的状态。

“我对他们与四分卫之间的配合感到满意，”他说。“但对于这个接球兵团来说，不仅仅是一个人……我们在整个训练营期间有一群球员完成了精彩的发挥。”

进攻协调员克林特·特里克特（Clint Trickett）表示，他对接球手感到满意，但很好奇谁能脱颖而出成为首发。

“而且我们还有一些一直在等待机会的球员，他们的表现非常出色，”他在8月5日的媒体日上说道。“希望能看到他们更进一步，而他们确实做到了。无论是[大四球员]乔丹·斯科特，[大一新生]约西亚·蒂斯利，还是齐米尔，还有瑞安·曼宁，他们有很多这样的人。我很期待看到他们全部上场并全力以赴。”

特里克特和洛克斯利都表达了希望看到华盛顿利用其机动性在地面上赢得码数的愿望。他也可以利用脚步在口袋区争取时间，但格拉丁表示，跑开并创造接球空间是由于他及其队友的责任。

“作为接球手，我们的职责是让他的工作变得更轻松；而作为四分卫，他的职责是让我们的工作变得更轻松，”他说。“当一切运转良好时，默契就产生了。一切绝对都在朝着正确的方向发展。”

分析

骑士队大胜，普里布拉、后卫及跑卫表现出色

接续 B1 页骑士队报道

RYAN M. KELLY / GETTY IMAGES “每场 15 次携带球可能不是我们想要生存的方式，”骑士队教练托尼·埃利奥特在谈到四分卫博·普里布拉时说道。 第三节

上赛季的骑士队。但周六，他们让他显得平庸。

跑卫深度真实可见

弗吉尼亚大学在深度图上列出五名跑卫并非误导。每个人在上半场都有携带球记录：依次为杰凯尔·米德尔布鲁克、赛·戴维斯、泽维尔·布朗、诺亚·沃恩和佩顿·刘易斯。

而全美经验最丰富的进攻线进一步增强了这一深度，麦凯尔·博莱及其队友最终消磨了狼队的意志。无可争辩的证据是下半场一次由 23 次进攻、推进 75 码的达阵推进，该推进创下了该项目在传球次数和耗时（12:15）方面的记录。

“我认为这就是我们的风格，”普里布拉在谈到这种有条不紊的推进时说道。

传球进攻存在疑问？

尽管普里布拉在第二节通过缝隙传球找到了布朗，完成了一次 45 码的达阵，但半场结束时，弗吉尼亚大学的传球进攻仍存在疑问，尤其是考虑到缺乏经过验证的接球手。事实上，骑士队在上半场 30-3 的跑传比令人震惊。

但普里布拉在第三节开局时所做的，就是连续完成三次传球，这是他首次与外接手建立联系，最后一次传球由达肖恩·马丁完成一次 47 码的达阵。

普里布拉在当天的表现为：传球 11 次成功 9 次，推进 155 码，获得两次得分，传球评分高达 260.2。

“当你能像今天这样出色地跑球时，传球进攻的空间就打开了，”普里布拉说道。

除普里布拉外，布朗是弗吉尼亚大学最有效的跑球者，在他 10 月中旬前十字韧带（ACL）撕裂后的首场比赛中，他 8 次尝试平均推进 5.0 码。他通过一次 1 码的冲刺为弗吉尼亚大学拿到了第一个达阵，约五分钟后又完成了一次接球得分。

“和几个队友聊天时，赛前我流了几滴眼泪，”布朗在谈到回归时说道。“……在那一刻，我除了感谢上帝什么也做不了。”

缺席的卡姆

全联盟线卫卡姆·罗宾逊仍在从去年 11 月的前十字韧带（ACL）撕裂中恢复，他在弗吉尼亚大学的边线观战。这对骑士队来说无需担心，因为他的替代者兰登·丹利记录了 5 次擒抱并抢回了一个掉球。

“如果我把他派上去结果出了什么意外，我无法面对自己，”埃利奥特说道。“……我想在（训练中）看到他更多一些真正的爆发力。”

在弗吉尼亚大学下一场比赛（9 月 11 日对阵诺福克州立大学）之前，罗宾逊有两周时间来证明他的准备情况。

不可避免的想法是：当罗宾逊回归时，这支防守线还能提升多少？

“他是威廉斯波特的一部分”：拉韦奇告别少棒世界系列赛

B1版 拉韦奇报道

ESPN播报员卡尔·拉韦奇（Karl Ravech）在少棒世界系列赛（LLWS）比赛间隙，经常与球员和球迷们亲切交流，其中许多人对他留有美好的回忆。 摄影：SAM BALKANSKY / 为《华盛顿邮报》拍摄

在过去的二十年里，拉韦奇一直住在同一家酒店，在同样的餐厅和咖啡馆用餐，并在南威廉斯波特的同一片街区慢跑，尽管一条膝盖受伤的腿一直困扰着他。

have sent cable subscribers fleeing, all while the company heaves over 5000万美元 at its largest names, Stephen A. Smith and Pat McAfee. ESPN declined to comment for this story and wouldn't make other employees available for interviews.

裁员的时机意味着在为期11天的节目播出期间（大部分节目时长约为8小时），没有人能接替拉韦奇在少棒世界系列赛中的主导角色。在经过深思熟虑并与妻子克里斯（Chris）沟通后，他决定愿意回来进行最后一次制作。这已变成了一场泪之巡演，尽管他说他不会让球迷看到他哭泣。“这不是关于我的，”他解释道。

几十年来，每天早上住在同一家酒店，在同样的餐厅和咖啡馆用餐，在同样的街区奔跑，他已经形成了一种节奏。下午3点和晚上7点的比赛如此规律，以至于一名ESPN助手知道在下午5:33分去他的播报亭询问他是否需要晚餐。（而答案永远是：“我能看看菜单吗？”）

“很难离开这里，”他说。“这简直就像是在听我的悼词。……我在这里是因为我热爱少棒世界系列赛，就像这里的许多其他人一样。我在这里花费了这么多时间，见证了该赛事的成长。如果可以，我想余生都为它播报。但事情在改变。”

他希望继续从事播报工作，甚至可能仍在ESPN。但在冠军赛周日之后，他不知道接下来会发生什么。因此，每一个瞬间都值得珍惜。

在这一天，在下午和晚上的播报之间，他与长期合作的统计员迈克尔·诺塔罗（Michael Notaro）交换故事，这是他们自2014年在威廉斯波特开始共事以来养成的习惯。他们争论北美最时髦的城市（拉韦奇倾向于蒙特利尔），论证附近的格内蒂酒店（Genetti Hotel）闹鬼，并讨论当地历史。

“威廉斯波特曾经有一支小联盟棒球队，你知道吗？”拉韦奇问。“我记得，因为是我率先报道了他们要离开的消息。”

“噢，真的吗？”诺塔罗打趣道。

“没错。早年间，我自己也算是个记者，”拉韦奇开玩笑说。“当时的威廉斯波特市长有很多话要说。我记得很清楚。”

很快，工作时间到了——“如果你管这叫工作的话，”他开玩笑说，随后与托德·弗雷泽（Todd Frazier）和杰西卡·门多萨（Jessica Mendoza）一起坐在两把高脚凳上，构成了播报开场镜头的画面，而这个镜头总是拍摄于画面之外的一个迪斯科球下方。他回头望去，欣赏着球场和落日。突然，随着耳机里的指令，他立刻进入状态，为该赛事西部代表队与东南部代表队之间这场备受期待的对决拉开序幕。他详细介绍了双方的明星击球手以及加州先发投手的掌控力，随后开玩笑说，阿拉巴马州的金利·拉斯姆斯（Kinley Rasmus）——这位将创下该赛事女孩最多安打纪录的双栖明星——可能是大谷翔平伪装而成的。

随后，播报画面切到场馆后山玩耍的孩子们，然后渐隐进入广告休息时间。

“在威廉斯波特，”他盯着节目信号说，“夏天永不结束。”

拉韦奇在马萨诸塞州尼덤长大，他看着迈克·林奇（Mike Lynch）等人在晚间新闻中讨论他的红袜队和凯尔特人队。因此，当决定职业生涯时，他认为“谈论体育”似乎很合适。

在伊萨卡学院，他发现自己被学校那个规模虽小但竞争激烈的学生新闻编辑室里的才俊们所包围。他说，他和两个朋友——迈克·马尔卡希（Mike Mulcahy）和鲍勃·麦克森（Bob Maxon）互相激励，熬夜审校脚本。他会为了一个凌晨3点的广播节目而到岗，尽管听众只有30来个，但他像成千上万个在领域中摸索的学生记者一样，努力积累经验。

“那就是当时的路径，”他说，“你付出代价，然后向上攀爬。一切都取决于你有多努力，但总会有属于你的位置。”

事实证明他是对的。大三后的暑假，他很快在故乡的电台——ABC波士顿附属台WCVB第5频道获得了实习机会，林奇（Lynch）将他收在麾下悉心指导。他立刻在荧幕上展现出卓越的才华。“我当时觉得我得把他藏起来，”林奇现在回忆道，“他会抢走我的工作。你一眼就能看出他很有天赋。他幽默，超级聪明，能展现人性化的一面，而且，天哪，他的报道能力太强了。”

他在纽约州宾汉姆顿担任了三年的体育主播。在一次晋升落选而感到沮丧后，他开始给其他电台打冷电话。在休息日，他会开车前往四五个小时车程外的城市，告诉制片人自己“恰好”在城里，希望能一起喝杯咖啡。油费账单堆积如山，但很快他就来到了宾夕法尼亚州的哈里斯堡。三年后，真正的转机出现了。

“我记得面试ESPN时，感觉有些不对劲，”他说，“然后我接到了电话，说没选中我。”

几天后呢？

“结果另一个人没法离开他目前的工作，我就进去了，”拉韦奇（Ravech）微笑着说，“在这个行业里，事情经常就是这样发生的。”

他强调，这份工作为他赢得了“梦想”——对于有志于成为体育播报员的人来说，ESPN确实就是梦想。他最初被安排在凌晨2:30的《体育中心》（SportsCenter）节目中，随后转到了东海岸的晚间时段。不久之后，他开始主持ESPN的MLB旗舰演播室节目《棒球之夜》（Baseball Tonight）。意识到在动荡的电视行业中需要具备多面手能力，他还争取承担起了现场解说的工作。

球迷们在不同领域都开始认出他。当ESPN拥有MLB版权时，他在解说席上。在二月的某个周六，他出现在东南部某个体育馆的大学篮球赛现场。2000年，当泰格·伍兹追求大满贯时，拉韦奇拿着麦克风在圆石滩紧随其后。

但这一切都比不上他2006年的任务，当时网络公司派他去解说少棒联盟世界系列赛（Little League World Series）。在第一个夏天之后，他极力争取每年都能回来。

对于球迷和ESPN的高层来说，他达成了一种微妙的平衡。当他在解说时，比赛感觉像至关重要，但没有任何一个12岁运动员的失误会被单独拎出来指责。他温柔且充满活力。

“天哪，他是我童年的一部分，”23岁的粉丝德克兰·罗宾斯（Declan Robbins）说道。上周，当拉韦奇在播报结束后走进通道时，罗宾斯在欢呼的人群中聚集在一起。“我从小看着这个节目长大，他一直都在。这听起来可能很奇怪：他是我记忆的叙述者。”

因此，这次离别充满了情感，粉丝们走到他面前，交换纪念品。拉韦奇说他不后悔回来。他怎么能后悔呢？他不知道这里是否还能保持原样，在过去的一周里，他一直在苦苦寻找答案，而这正是他这个职业中的许多人都找不到的答案。

“我可能在几年前告诉过他，”林奇回忆道，“在这个岗位上，你永远无法在巅峰时期离开。”

他承认，这种氛围并不太好。

三年前，拉韦奇目睹了ESPN在一次规模最大的裁员行动中，在几乎没有预警的情况下撤掉了许多同事的职务。像苏齐·科尔伯（Suzy Kolber）和马克斯·凯勒曼（Max Kellerman）这样知名且稳定的声音和记者：被砍掉了。“你看到了这一切，”他说，“但你永远不会认为那个被裁的人会是你。”

这就是为什么上个月的一个周二早晨，他在费城的美国国家铁路客运公司（Amtrak）站台上崩溃了。在前一天晚上工作结束后，一名记者打电话来询问他被裁员的评论。高管们当时还没有通知他。接下来的三个小时，在乘车返回康涅狄格州海岸线家中的途中，“压力太大了”。

一名了解其协议的人士表示，Ravech 的年薪在七位数低端到中端之间，虽然不是微薄的薪水，但与 ESPN 的顶尖大咖相比则不值一提。而在公司的其他部门，合同金额正膨胀至创纪录的水平。由于未获授权讨论员工薪资，该人士在要求匿名的条件下表示，McAfee 的年薪约为 3000万美元，且他正在洽谈一份可能接近 6000万美元 的合同。去年冬天，Smith 签署了一份价值 1亿美元 的五年续约合同。

Ravech 参与的活动数量也比 ESPN 几乎任何人都多。因此，他无法理解的是，为什么当时甚至没有一次关于降低其薪水或调整其日程的沟通。

“我本愿意谈谈的，”他说，“但我从未收到任何消息。”

他最终接受了一个简单的答案：他周围的世界正在发生变化。当他 1993, 加入 时，该品牌在处于最初的“体育天堂”浪潮中，几乎没有竞争对手。节目可以随心所欲地推出，记者们可以根据自己的雄心壮志去策划报道目标。

尽管有线电视用户在流失，且到 2030, 流媒体收入预计将超过 2000 亿美元 billion，但 在 2025. 仍获利 29 亿美元 billion。由于采取了削减成本和推动直接面向消费者（DTC）的策略，它比许多竞争新闻机构更稳健（尽管在某些方面陷入了停滞），并且它拥有 2027 超级碗的转播权。但随着利润空间的收窄以及社交媒体带来的参与度达到前所未有的高度，公司的优先级在不断转移。

去年夏天，布里斯托尔迎来了首位社交媒体影响力人物 Katie Feeney。今年秋天，McAfee 将扩大其职责，参与 的 NFL赛前节目《周一之夜倒计时》（Monday Night Countdown）。Smith 拥有自己的数字节目，恰如其分地命名为《Stephen A. Smith 秀》，而且多年来， 的社交媒体账号每天至少会发布一段这位喧闹的纽约人的剪辑。

如果你不能凭借个人魅力吸引眼球，你就必须足够廉价。近年来， 的现场解说员变得越来越年轻。主播和记者在薪资持平甚至被削减的情况下，承担着更多的任务。

“它就是变了，”Linda Cohn 说。她比 Ravech 早一年加入 担任主播，并于今年 6 月“协商离职”。她最初与 Ravech 在同一个演播室工作，共同主持《体育中心》（SportsCenter），并且在 这档标志性节目中主持的片段数量超过了公司历史上任何一名员工。“但我们终于到了一个临界点，很明显，这里已经不再是以前的样子了，”她说。她最近启动了一个以自己名字命名的 YouTube 节目。

“我不确定如果重新来过，我会有什么不同的做法，或者至少是我能预见到的，”Ravech 说，“这依然是我的梦想……我从未想象过这一切会发生。”

这就是为什么尽管经历了这场磨难，他依然发现自己身处拉马德体育场（Lamade Stadium）的木制评论席中，他对这里的每一块木刺都了如指掌。他并没有退休，并且期待着下一个欢迎他的团队。现在只是一个去向问题，而这目前并不让他深感困扰。

“我在威廉斯波特，”他说，“这就是我一直想在的地方。”

在一次锦标赛早场比赛前的早晨，Ravech 在一家新咖啡馆里啜饮着一杯黑咖啡，对着走进店里的当地人点头致意。

他以前习惯在距离少棒联盟世界系列赛（Little League World Series）综合体约一英里的一块球场上晨练打皮克球。在这里，他结交了朋友，成为了社区的一部分。如果你需要餐厅推荐，他能提供。因为膝盖不好，他不再在这些街道上奔跑，但他总是四处走走。

“他是威廉斯波特的一部分，”每年与拉韦奇一起在锦标赛现场播报比赛的克里斯·伯克说道，“他一出现，就像与这个地方融为一体了。作为一名播报员，这就是你的梦想。而卡尔是最擅长这一点的人。”

最近，他找到了另一种节奏。在这种工作中，很难把握公众是如何看待你的。人们可能会讨厌你——至少在每次解说之后，你的 X 平台动态是这么暗示的。但就在过去的一周里，他无法避开那些声音。有人将卡片塞进他的门缝，有人在新闻发布席留下了礼物。

“我们会想念你的，”今天早晨，一名女性走进正门时说道。

1993 年在接受《雪城邮报-标准报》采访时，就在 ESPN 雇佣他几天后，他曾思考过未来的这份工作。“我仍然很难在走进大门时相信我在这里工作，”他当时说道。

他解释说，他的感受从未改变。“我不确定是否还会有其他人能得到我这份工作。这真的像是一场梦——”

“我们爱你，卡尔，”一个穿着球衣的孩子打断了他，随后递上一个小包裹。“没有你，这里将不再一样，”他们的父亲一边帮他扶着门一边补充道，“我曾和我的父亲一起观看比赛，而当你成为我们的声音时，我们建立了情感纽带。”

“谢谢。”

拉韦奇点头表示感谢。

但在门关上后，他望向街道，然后回头看向河对岸那个小镇体育场的方向，他从未想到那里会定义他的人生。他想到了在他驻足于此期间，所有那些来来往往的人们。早晨的站立会议，深夜在球员休息区的玩笑。童年与梦想。他转过身，在接下来的对话中，两颗晶莹的泪珠停留在他的脸颊上，而这段对话跨越了 33 年。

随后他瞥了一眼手表。现在是上午 11 点，他说他应该回体育场综合区看比赛了。他向今天早晨遇到的人们简短地挥了挥手，再次出发前往拉马德。播报时间是下午 1 点。体育场距离这里仅 7 分钟车程，而且他比任何人都熟悉威廉斯波特的单行道。他只是不想错过任何细节。

我从多莉·帕顿的《9 to 5》中学到的财务（及人生）教训

Michelle Singletary 金钱之色（THE COLOR OF MONEY）

在我大学的第一学期，多莉·帕顿在喜剧电影《9 to 5》中完成了她的电影首秀。这部电影的主题曲成了我步入成年生活的赞歌。

那是1980, 的冬天，我在马里兰大学帕克分校度过我的第一个学期。在前一个夏天，我在《巴尔的摩太阳报》担任实习生。

该报提供了一项为期四年的奖学金，涵盖学费、住宿和书籍费用，以及在《太阳报》及其姐妹报《晚间太阳报》的带薪实习机会。如果我在马里兰大学的表现良好，并且顺利完成另外三次承诺的暑期实习，毕业后将有一份工作在等着我。

我非常害怕失败。

我的祖母“大妈妈”告诉我，一旦我毕业，我就要对我那个比我小三岁的残疾弟弟负责。米切尔因癫痫而遭受严重的抽搐之苦，这使他难以工作。如果我能在新闻业闯出一片天，我的收入将能支撑我们两人。我做到了，承担了他的许多费用，直到他32 岁时因一次剧烈抽搐去世。

帕顿于周二去世，享年 80. 岁。我立刻想到她如何用歌词激励我，那些歌词记录了女性在职场中忍受性别歧视和薪酬不平等的艰辛。

直到现在我才意识到，这首歌的灵感来自 9 to 5，这是一个由文职人员于 1973 年在波士顿创立的组织，旨在倡导职场女性获得公平的薪酬和工作条件。帕顿在由其合作演员简·方达介绍该组织的使命后写下了这首歌。

“9to5”在的一份声明中写道：“9to5对失去传奇人物、倡导者和盟友多莉·帕顿深感悲痛。她受到9to5成员真实故事和经历的启发，赠予了我们一首引起劳动人民数十年共鸣的赞歌，并提醒我们仍有许多工作需要——详见B9页的SINGLETARY专栏

2 小时一天，禁止深夜使用：Meta的结算协议将如何改变青少年账户

当一名在法庭文件中被标识为R.K.C.的青少年男孩不理解他父亲的意思时，他向ChatGPT寻求帮助。

根据法庭文件，R.K.C.在 2024, 10月对聊天机器人说：“我爸爸说我将获得价值 100万美元的结算金。他说如果这不能让我开心，还有什么能让我开心。他的意思是什。”

美国人每天向人工智能聊天机器人提出的数百万个查询通常仅存在于他们与AI对话者之间。但R.K.C.的问题以及他与ChatGPT的其他私密对话，却被辩护律师在回应他于 2023 年对Meta、Snapchat、TikTok和YouTube提起的一项诉讼时，将其纳入了公开记录。他在案件中主张——详见B10页的AI专栏

一项具有里程碑意义的 180 亿美元 billion 结算协议将迫使Meta实施一系列变更，这将改变青少年使用Instagram和Facebook的方式。这些新措施包括屏幕时间限制，以及默认禁止在深夜和学校时间进行活动，旨在保护青少年免于过度使用。以下是周三公布的这些变更可能如何影响青少年在平台上的体验。 详见B10页的META专栏

加拿大在特朗普的压力下，寻求新的贸易伙伴

作者：萨米·韦斯特福尔 (SAMMY WESTFALL)

几十年来，无论是保守党还是自由党领导的加拿大政府，都一直寻求与美国实现更深层次的经济整合。美国是全球最大的进口买家，进口产品包括加拿大的能源、机械、木材和小麦。

但现在，随着总统唐纳德·特朗普对加拿大产品征收新关税并威胁将进一步增加，渥太华发现这种关系已成为一种负担。近年来，加拿大约四分之三的出口产品销往美国，这种依赖性使其在面对该政府的压力时显得格外脆弱。

总理马克·卡尼 (Mark Carney) 今年在世界各地奔波，旨在为加拿大出口产品寻找新买家。分析人士表示，加拿大需要使其贸易伙伴多样化，但要摆脱——详见 B11 页关于加拿大的报道

多莉·帕顿 (Dolly Parton) 2016 年在佛罗里达州演出。她的热门歌曲《9 to 5》的灵感来自 9to5，这是一个由文职人员于 1973 年在波士顿成立的组织，旨在倡导女性获得公平的薪酬和工作条件。其中 9 代表 9 点，5 代表 5 点。

结束。通过她的音乐和电影作品，她帮助人们将国家注意力引导至女性至今在职场中仍面临的真实问题：性别歧视、骚扰、薪酬不平等，以及富人如何剥削我们的劳动力。”

富人剥削我们的劳动力。 成年人的生活已经足够艰难——试图弄清楚如何支付所有账单、储蓄，或许还能剩下足够的钱用于退休投资，同时还能享受一些乐趣。但当财务挑战与职场不公相结合时，每前进一步都会让人想起这首歌中的一句歌词：“他们让你做梦，只是为了看着那些梦想破碎。”

我看到了自己奋斗的艰辛，就像她笔下办公室里的那些文职人员一样。

帕顿唱道：“有更好的生活，你在思考它，不是吗？”

我也在思考。

我从未将那笔奖学金对我及我家庭的意义视为理所当然，但它也带来了一个负面影响：我怀疑自己是否能与那些主导新闻编辑室的白人男性平起平坐。

尽管少数族裔奖学金为我打开了一扇门，但走进这扇门意味着在工作中要面对敌意。

我无意中听到两名白人记者在诋毁旨在增加《巴尔的摩太阳报》员工中少数族裔代表性的奖学金。巴尔的摩的报纸长期以来因缺乏与报道社区面貌相符的记者而受到批评。

在一次暑期实习期间，一名编辑让我的生活变得极其痛苦，而且她甚至不掩饰自己的种族主义。她经常忽略我，将最好的任务留给白人实习生。有一次，她拿走了我提交给她的一个创意，并把它给了她偏爱的白人男性实习生。当他决定不想写这个故事时，她又把这个任务还给了我。

今天，在帕顿首次发行《9 to 5》近半个世纪后，多样性、公平性和包容性（DEI）计划仍被批评者认为是对历史上被边缘化的女性和少数族裔提供不公平的优势。但 DEI 过去是——现在也是——关于采取纠正措施，而非提供不公平的优惠待遇。

即使在我转为全职工作后，与具有相似经验的同事相比，我的薪水依然偏低。

有时我觉得，“无论他们怎么称呼，这都是富人的游戏 / 你花掉一生时间，从 9 点到 5 点把钱塞进他的钱包。”

但帕顿不仅仅是在反映我们的挣扎；她用尽一生利用她的财富和舞台来减轻这些负担，无论是通过她的歌曲目录，还是资助像她的“想象力图书馆”（Imagination Library）这样向儿童邮寄免费书籍的项目。

她是一个财务榜样，拒绝放弃出版权，将她的歌曲比作在晚年能照顾她的孩子。她按照自己的方式建立了一个帝国。

“但你拥有他永远无法夺走的梦想 / 你和许多朋友在同一条船上 / 等待着你的船进港的那一天 / 潮水将会转向，一切都将向你倾斜。”

这就是为什么《9 to 5》成为了我成年生活的赞歌，并在数十年间继续激励着我。当你很容易感到气馁时，音乐可以抚慰你的灵魂。而帕顿的歌词赋予你决心，让你尽管面对逆境，仍能继续为自己的价值而战。

品牌争夺 #RushTok 关注度，年度大学现象持续蔓延

经核实

DYLAN WELLS

自 2021 年起，在阿拉巴马大学极具病毒式传播力的“Bama Rush”内容推动下，“RushTok”应运而生。此后，每逢返校季，记录潜在新成员准备加入姐妹会（go Greek）的内容便会激增。

这一年度大学现象最初集中在东南部联盟（Southeastern Conference）的校园，但现已变得更加普遍。它记录了姐妹会招新过程中的华丽景象——从姐妹会成员在装饰精美的房屋前跳精心编排的舞蹈视频，到招新参与者分享其穿搭以及对此次经历感悟的“一日生活”视频。

它开启了顶尖创作者的职业生涯，并催生了一个围绕周边配套设施的完整次级经济，涵盖了从气球公司、当地餐饮企业到专注于姐妹会的营销公司。品牌整合可以将新的文化相关性延伸至校园之外。（我曾在图斯卡卢萨时，尽管从未加入过姐妹会，但仍将一名困惑的同事拽到那家走红的裤子店，以模仿 RushTok 女王 Kylan Darnell 的一段 TikTok 音频）。

今年，病毒式传播的内容来自比以往更多的校园。本月占据我“为你推荐”页面的不再是特定的潜在成员，而是以经常性角色出现的品牌，它们在 RushTok 的整合程度上达到了新高度，涵盖了从全屋接管到大规模赠礼活动。品牌希望接触年轻女性消费者，尤其是那些担任校园创作者的人群；通过在招新期间激活，它们能最大限度地提高走红潜力和扩大覆盖范围。

“今年的‘主角光环’似乎更多地集中在品牌身上，”社交机构 Billion Dollar Boy 的战略总监 Emily Brown 表示，她一直追踪 RushTok 的趋势和发展。她指出，像倩碧（Clinique）和耐克（Nike）这样更知名、成熟且资深的品牌也加入了行动，这导致了更激烈的注意力竞争以及突破重围的新方法。

我采访了三个品牌，以进一步了解其策略。

Altar'd State

对于将高中和大学年龄女性作为理想客户的服装品牌 Altar'd State 来说，招新规划在一年之前就开始了，目标是建立品牌知名度。在围绕 RushTok 开展活动的第五年，该品牌采用了三管齐下的赠礼策略。

首先，他们在这个秋天为 20 所学校的 34 个姐妹会，以及阿拉巴马大学的 Crimsonettes 击棒舞队提供了服装。他们与姐妹会就主题进行沟通，并制作了视觉参考板（look boards）供学生选择服装。

第二种方法是向新生发送约 200 个包含服装和礼品的公关礼盒。“有些女孩要跨越整个国家搬家。我们希望成为她邮箱里收到的第一个包裹，”该品牌营销总监 Nikki Nettles 说道。

今年策略的第三个分支是向 30 名特定的大学生赠礼，其中包括微影响力者以及潜在成员和现有成员，他们可以选择在招新周期间穿着的造型，用于拍摄“每日穿搭”视频。

Nettles 开玩笑说，他们合作的一些姐妹会拥有比她更庞大的营销和社交团队，用于与品牌协调赠礼和内容。她最梦想的视频是让姐妹会女孩们穿着她的品牌服装拍摄一段舞蹈视频。

“任何能让几乎整个姐妹会成员参与其中并产生巨大影响的机会都是极好的，”她说道。

Khloud

由赫洛伊·卡戴珊（Khloé Kardashian）创立的零食品牌 Khloud 在今年的招新期间，向 25 个以上的校园提供了蛋白质爆米花的免费样品。该公司表示，此次招新推广活动约占今年向大学生消费者分发样品的总数（75,000 至 100,000 份）的一半。

这个去年推出的品牌全年还与 10 个校园的创作者合作，并在关键产品发布期间开展付费创作者合作伙伴关系。在本次 RushTok 季，他们还与行李箱品牌 Béis 合作，向 250 名年轻女性发送了邮件营销，并利用姐妹会的礼品赠送来预热其新型胶原蛋白玉米片的发布公告，姐妹会成员在 RushTok 视频中展示了该产品。

Khloud 的高级品牌总监泰特·默里（Tate Murray）表示：“我们将招新视为一个契机，利用我们的大学社区在正式发布或在自有社交渠道预热之前，在社交媒体上真正地播种。”

默里表示，RushTok 是一个“非常有趣且相关的时刻，在某种程度上设定了大学一年的社交语境”。她说，大学客户和校园创作者对 Khloud 至关重要，并指出：“他们驱动趋势，驱动文化。大学消费者具有极强的鉴别力。”

她表示，品牌希望在他们开展活动的大学市场中看到 Khloud 的实际零售结果呈现超额增长。在过去三个月里，该品牌在大学受众中的曝光量已从数十万跃升至数百万，因此他们收到了来自校园组织的大量主动咨询和请求。

Lucky Charms

在 RushTok 期间，通用磨坊（General Mills）利用一个拥有数十年历史的特定谷物麦片品牌，锁定了一个校园的一家姐妹会：阿肯色大学（University of Arkansas）的 Kappa Delta 姐妹会与 Lucky Charms 品牌。

为什么选择这款彩色棉花糖麦片？通用磨坊家庭最爱谷物麦片业务部门总监梅根·布鲁克斯（Megan Brooks）表示，该品牌一直关注姐妹会在招新期间使用如“幸运的我，我是 KD”等幸运主题，并融入品牌的元素，如棉花糖形状或其吉祥物——leprechaun（爱尔兰小矮人）Lucky。

布鲁克斯表示，KD 使用三叶草作为符号，绿色作为标志性颜色，而选择阿肯色大学是因为该校园对装饰的重视以及其在招新周期中的时间点，这使得品牌能够更早地进入社交对话。

“在阿肯色大学，有 600 多名女性是 Kappa Delta 的成员，她们每一个人都是微创作者，”布鲁克斯说。“由于她们所有人的影响力，深入挖掘这一家姐妹会实际上让我们获得了比预想中更广泛的覆盖面。”

布鲁克斯拒绝透露该品牌为此次活动支付的费用，但表示该姐妹会的成员并非被要求必须发布相关内容。他们与走红的 RushTok 气球装饰师普雷斯利·佩奇（Presley Paige）合作，用彩虹装饰、拍照亭以及饰品和麦片吧占领了该会所。

布鲁克斯表示，创作者们对品牌标志的创新方式比公司发布类似广告感觉更真实。“这些女性处于目前创作者经济的最前沿，正在真实地体验并构建它，”她说。

Verified 是由 Washington Post Creator 发布的时事通讯，这是一个独立于《华盛顿邮报》编辑部、与独立创作者合作的新业务。

聊天机器人对话正被卷入刑事和民事法律诉讼

“这些对话所揭示的是，这是一个对个人的私密观察。那是他们认为不会被任何人看到的想法和感受。”

AI FROM B8

这些公司的应用程序导致他遭受了多年的社交媒体成瘾和心理健康问题。

到7月下旬，R.K.C.的律师已与Snap、TikTok和YouTube达成和解，并撤销了对Meta的起诉，部分原因是担心该少年无法承受“长达数周且艰苦的审判”。这些公司否认了该少年的指控。Snapchat的所有者Snap拒绝置评。Meta、TikTok和YouTube未回应置评请求。

R.K.C.是越来越多在法庭上被公开与AI聊天机器人私密对话的美国人之一。随着越来越多的人转向AI寻求工作、健康问题方面的帮助以及陪伴，聊天机器人的运营商已成为快速增长的私密数据宝库的保管者，而这些数据可能会被执法部门、公司或民事诉讼中的其他对手寻求获取。

《华盛顿邮报》对公共记录和当地新闻报道的审查发现，在过去两年中的12起法院案件中引用了聊天机器人日志。很难知道聊天机器人材料在更广泛的调查和法律程序中被抽用的频率，因为警方和民事案件的当事人不必在法庭上提交他们获得的所有证据。

“一个十五岁的人可能会在聊天机器人中输入一些他可能不会对治疗师、父母或朋友说的话，而且他在这样做时没有意识到这最终可能会出现在辩方专家的报告中，”代表R.K.C.的律师事务所之一 Morgan & Morgan 的合伙人迈克·摩根（Mike Morgan）在的一份声明中表示。摩根表示，该少年的ChatGPT日志与案件的解决结果“没有关系”。R.K.C.将在8月底满16岁。

在某些案例中，AI公司向联邦调查局（FBI）举报了其平台上的用户，导致了起诉和至少一次定罪。

根据一份警方宣誓书，今年5月，联邦调查局通知佛罗里达州棕榈滩县的警方，在一名用户自3月起多次向聊天机器人告知其强奸并谋杀前女友的计划后，ChatGPT的开发商OpenAI与其取得了联系。法院文件显示，该用户被确认为达伦·周（Darren Zhou），据称他花费数月时间描述他将如何暴力伤害其前女友，包括他计划如何在她的车外等待她排球训练结束返回时将其枪杀。文件还称，周还告诉聊天机器人他计划伤害自己。

根据法院文件，当地警方根据联邦调查局转发的信息确认了该女性的身份，并了解到周在两人分手后一直向她发送匿名短信，内容包括“等不及闻到你的味道”等。

周在5月被逮捕，并基于他发送给前女友以及发送给ChatGPT的消息被指控跟踪和发出电子威胁；警方在法院文件中表示，这些消息增强了威胁的可信度。他本月认罪，被判处八年缓刑。周的律师拒绝置评。

OpenAI曾表示，该公司使用软件扫描对话以寻找危险行为的迹象，并将其标记给人工审核员。该公司在4月的一篇博客文章中称，如果审核员判定某次对话表明存在“对他人的紧迫且可信的伤害风险”，他们会将该用户举报给执法部门。OpenAI的一位发言人拒绝透露该公司向警方举报用户的次数。（《邮报》与OpenAI拥有内容合作伙伴关系。）

法律专家认为，与聊天机器人的对话具有个性化特点，营造了一种鼓励坦诚披露的私密氛围，这使得AI公司持有的日志比搜索日志等更传统的数字证据更为丰富。

“这不仅仅是关于问题本身，而是整个提示词、你提供的背景以及双方的往复对话。你的思考过程和意图无需猜测，一切都清晰可见，”美国全国刑事辩护律师协会（National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers）第四修正案中心诉讼总监迈克尔·普赖斯（Michael Price）表示。

“如果说有什么能成为窥视灵魂、揭示生活隐私的窗口，这似乎就是一个绝佳的选择，”他说道。

“他们有办法知道是我吗”

OpenAI 发布的数据显示，政府机构和执法部门请求获取用户数据的数量正在迅速增长。在 2025 年下半年，该公司披露了 80 多个账户的数据，比前一年同期增加了四倍多。

但普莱斯表示，当聊天机器人的对话出现在刑事案件中时，通常是因为参与对话的人允许执法部门访问这些内容。他说，当警察在审问期间或逮捕后要求某人打开手机时，他们通常会照做，从而允许警员滚动浏览他们使用的应用程序。

一般来说，第四修正案保护人们免受对其财产的不合理搜查和扣押，规定除非警察持有搜查令，否则人们有权拒绝搜查其手机内容。

“简单的答案是，大多数人都同意了，”普莱斯说，“他们不应该同意，但他们确实这么做了。”

根据逮捕令及警方报告，2025 年 9 月，密苏里州斯普林菲尔德的警察唤醒了当时就读于密苏里州立大学的瑞安·谢弗（Ryan Schaefer）。警方报告称，他被怀疑在前一个月的一个深夜损坏了校园停车场内的 17 辆汽车。报告显示，在警察到达后，谢弗同意让他们搜查他的手机。

警方报告显示，在事发当晚凌晨 3:47 左右，他向 ChatGPT 写道：“兄弟，我完蛋到什么程度了，”以及“如果我把好几辆车都砸烂了会怎样。”

报告称，他随后补充道：“他们有办法知道是我吗。”

根据警方报告及其逮捕令，谢弗在几天后基于这些陈述被逮捕。他随后承认犯有重罪财产损坏罪，今年 7 月，一名县法官判处他五年缓刑。

“在瑞安的案例中，这并非特例，”谢弗的律师之一亚当·伍迪（Adam Woody）说，“这些对话表明，这是对个人内心世界的私密窥视。这是他们认为不会被任何人看到的想法和感受。”

在民事诉讼中，与聊天机器人的对话可以在证据开示（discovery）过程中被收集，这允许对案件相关人员的设备进行广泛搜查。根据法院文件，在密歇根州的一起案件中，一名轮胎销售员被前雇主起诉，其律师在经过几个月的证据开示后，为了展示透明度，主动提出对其客户的设备进行全面搜查。

法院记录显示，该雇主指控该销售员在离职前往竞争对手公司工作后招揽其客户，并抓住了一段对话不放，在对话中，该销售员询问 ChatGPT 他的电子邮件提供商是否可以恢复已删除的邮件。

法院文件显示，该销售员询问聊天机器人：“我一年前从我的雅虎账户删除了一封邮件。雅虎还能检索到这封邮件吗？”以及“所以即使有法院命令的传票，雅虎也无法检索已删除的邮件？”

雇主在法庭上辩称，这段对话削弱了该销售员关于他在公司工作期间未电子签署竞业禁止协议的说法。该公司表示，他在案件开始后与聊天机器人的对话表明他篡改了证据。

今年 8 月，一名法官因该销售员的行为导致产生了额外工作，判定雇主获得一笔金额未定的律师费，法官裁定该行为是故意隐瞒信息的“有力证据”。

法官允许该诉讼继续进行进一步的证据开示。双方律师均拒绝置评。

无法律保护

OpenAI 首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）主张，与聊天机器人的对话应当获得特殊的法律保护，类似于客户与律师之间的对话。

他去年写道：“如果你向医生咨询病史，或向律师咨询法律状况，我们认为出于社会最佳利益，这些信息应当被视为特权信息并获得更高水平的保护。我们认为，同样水平的保护也需要应用于与 AI 的对话，因为人们越来越多地转向 AI 来咨询敏感问题和私人忧虑。”

南卫理公会大学（Southern Methodist University）的法学教授、证据规则专家劳拉·阿贝尔森（Laura Abelson）表示，聊天机器人的对话目前并不享有此类保护。她说：“在一个缺乏监管的空间里，任何法院都极不可能认定这些通信具有特权。”

一名纽约联邦法官在 2 月份的一起案件中做出了这样的裁定。该案涉及一名金融高管，他在得知自己成为联邦欺诈刑事调查对象后，咨询了 AI 模型 Claude 关于潜在辩护策略的问题。

根据法官的裁定，该高管布拉德利·赫普纳（Bradley Heppner）主张，检察官不能审查这些对话（这些对话是在一项更广泛的搜查令执行过程中从其设备中获取的），因为它们具有特权。但法官表示，客户与律师之间对话的保护并不适用：Claude 不是律师，且该高管的律师并未要求他与聊天机器人交谈。

5 月，赫普纳被判定犯有证券欺诈和电汇欺诈等罪名。赫普纳的律师未回应置评请求。

在少数公开的刑事案件中，AI 公司主动向当局告知了用户与聊天机器人分享的信息。

除了佛罗里达州的跟踪案件外，OpenAI 今年早些时候向 FBI 告知了一名巴西男子的情况，该男子告诉聊天机器人，他想雇佣一名杀手杀死他自己和 8 岁的儿子。据 BBC 的报道，FBI 将该信息转交给巴西当局，随后该男子被逮捕。 拒绝就此事件发表评论。

在一些 ChatGPT 重度用户自杀以及其他用户在加拿大和佛罗里达州开枪射击事件发生后， 表示，它将更积极地向当局标记潜在的令人担忧的对话。2025 年 9 月，在 16 岁的亚当·雷恩（Adam Raine）自杀身亡（他曾与 ChatGPT 讨论过自残计划）后，该公司推出了家长控制功能。

在佛罗里达州，州政府官员已起诉 并对该公司展开刑事调查。该公司还被佛罗里达州和加拿大的枪击事件受害者家属起诉，原告指控 未能实施充分的保障措施。

曾因违反政策而封禁了不列颠哥伦比亚省坦布勒里奇（Tumbler Ridge）2 月大规模杀戮事件涉嫌凶手的账户，但拒绝将对话报告给加拿大当局。奥特曼随后为未提醒执法部门而道歉。在导致两人死亡的佛罗里达州立大学枪击案中，涉嫌枪手曾与 ChatGPT 讨论过大规模枪击。

表示，它不对佛罗里达州立大学的案件负责，并且对于利用其工具实施暴力行为采取“零容忍政策”。

随着 AI 成为日常生活更重要的一部分，将其作为证据在审判中使用可能会变得更加普遍。调查和公司数据表明，越来越多的人在面对个人问题时转向聊天机器人，而代表用户采取行动且需要更大数据访问权限的 AI “智能体”也正变得越来越受欢迎。

“聊天机器人仅仅是‘冰山一角’，”乔治·华盛顿大学法学教授、数字监控书籍作者安德鲁·弗格森（Andrew Ferguson）表示。他预计人工智能将使人们的生活在更大程度上暴露在数字审查之下。“你的整个世界现在都将对警方开放。”

Meta 达成协议将限制青少年账户屏幕使用时间并暂停通知

META 见 B8 版

包括在校期间和深夜在内的屏幕时间限制

作为和解协议的一部分，青少年专用账户将被禁止在午夜至凌晨 6 点之间使用 平台。此外，他们在 Instagram 和 Facebook 上的每日使用时间将被限制在两小时内，但消息传递和长篇内容等部分功能除外。

还承诺将检测青少年使用多个账户的情况，统计其总时长，并在达到上限后将其锁定。青少年在获得家长批准后可以覆盖这些规则。

青少年账户还将默认在学校上课期间以及晚上 10 点至次日早上 7 点的夜间时段暂停通知。对于 16 岁以下的用户，Instagram 已经暂停了夜间通知。

如果 的两大竞争对手 YouTube 和 TikTok 也同意采取新的保护措施，该协议可能会包含更严格的限制。如果这种情况发生，屏幕时间限制可能会降低至每天仅 60 分钟。

快速响应报告

根据和解条款， 承诺在至少 90% 的案例中，在 6 小时内对使用英文和西班牙文提交的关于有害内容的投诉做出回应。2025 年 1 月，该公司削减了在美国帮助审核误导性或有害内容的第三方事实核查员，转而采用用户驱动的标记机制。目前尚不清楚 将如何在短时间内应对大量的内容申诉。

针对青少年账户， 已同意维持其目前对适龄内容和账户的限制。

谁可以使用青少年账户？

该协议包括额外的措施，用于识别 13 岁以下（不允许使用 平台）以及 18 岁以下（有资格使用青少年账户）的用户。长期以来，这一直是社交媒体公司面临的挑战。

“青少年非常有创意，而且他们有很强的动力去访问那些他们不应该访问的内容，”Data & Society 研究主任爱丽丝·马维克（Alice Marwick）表示。

此外， 已同意由一名独立审计员监督其对协议的执行情况，包括用于检测年轻用户存在的模型。

协议中不包含什么？

一些监管机构曾试图限制社交媒体公司向用户提供算法个性化内容的能力，这些内容通常以“探索”或“为你推荐”页面的形式出现。该协议并未禁止向未成年人提供这些页面，尽管至少有一个州的立法机构曾试图禁止此类行为。但它为 18 岁以下用户提供了一个选项，可以使用按时间顺序排列的非个性化馈送（feed），倡导者希望这将有助于减少无止境的滚动浏览。

“看到有时间线馈送选项真是太好了，”儿童在线隐私与安全倡导组织 Fairplay 的政策顾问海莉·欣克尔（Haley Hinkle）表示。“但总的来说，该协议没有解决的是……对向未成年人提供个性化推荐算法设定严格限制。……那是导致过度上网的一个巨大驱动因素。”

加拿大需要基础设施和贸易协定以扩大除美国以外的出口

使该国脱离对美国市场的依赖将不容易。原因如下。

加拿大正在采取什么行动？

卡尼曾在经济大衰退期间领导加拿大银行，并在英国脱欧期间领导英格兰银行。他于去年当选总理，很大程度上是基于他能够带领加拿大度过与美国关系破裂危机的前提。

特朗普在首个任期内曾对加拿大商品征收关税。他去年重返办公室时威胁将征收更多税项，抨击美国-墨西哥-加拿大协定——这是一项他在 2020 年谈判并签署的协议——并用将加拿大变成美国第 51 个州的虚张声势之词来挑衅加拿大人。因此，贸易多元化已成为卡尼任期内的核心原则。

自 2025, 3 月接替贾斯汀·特鲁多以来，他访问了二十多个国家，其中包括 2017 年以来总理首次访问中国，以及 2000 年以来首次访问沙特阿拉伯。

政府数据显示，去年加拿大对非美国市场的出口增长了 11.1%。而对美国的出口则下降了 3.7%。

政府数据显示，目前近三分之一的加拿大出口流向非美国市场，这是四十年来最高水平。卡尼设定了到 2035 年将非美国出口额翻一番的目标。

为什么加拿大如此依赖美国市场？

有一个优雅的模型可以根据两个国家的规模及其之间的距离来预测贸易额。

加拿大拥有 4100 万 人口，美国拥有 3.42 亿 人口，两国共享一条 5,525 英里的边界，并且拥有共同的英语语言、民主政治体制，以及在北美航空航天防御司令部、北约和“五眼联盟”中的伙伴关系。基于其规模和地理接近度，引力模型预测双边贸易额为 7200 亿加元 billion。加拿大财政部前特别顾问、经济学家朱利安·卡拉格西安（Julian Karaguesian）表示：“而这正是我们的实际情况。”

两国通过数十年的贸易协议和跨境供应链培育了这种一体化。卡拉格西安表示，在 80 年代、90 年代和 2000 年代，“一切都处于自动驾驶状态……没有任何迹象表明会出现问题。”

2001 年 9 月 11, 2001.，卡拉格西安在加拿大驻柏林大使馆担任财务参赞。随着美国加强边境安全，他当时想：“噢不，我们应该开始考虑这个问题了。”

经济大衰退期间的反自由贸易和反全球化情绪敲响了更多警钟。以及 2016 年特朗普的当选。

但他表示，过去的八个月是一次真正的“觉醒时刻”。“终于，加拿大建制派的其余部分现在意识到了完整的噩梦情景。”

今年在瑞士达沃斯，卡尼警告称，“世界秩序的破裂”将导致一个“大国竞争”的新时代，在这个时代中，“强者可以随心所欲，弱者必须忍受必然”。他告诉世界经济论坛，加拿大是“最早听到觉醒号角的人之一”。

他说，像加拿大这样的中等强国必须放弃关于地理位置和联盟成员身份能够“自动赋予繁荣与安全”的“舒适假设”。

他说：“当你不能生活在通过一体化实现互利的谎言之中，因为一体化已成为你处于从属地位的根源。”

寻找新出口市场的挑战是什么？

英属哥伦比亚大学全球政策教授克里斯汀·霍普韦尔（Kristen Hopewell）表示，加拿大的一个关键挑战是开发基础设施（包括港口、铁路和管道），以便将商品出口到美国以外的地区。

霍普韦尔说：“其他国家对加拿大的产品有巨大需求。”加拿大被视为石油、天然气、矿产、化肥、木材、食品和其他农产品的“安全供应商”。她说，乌克兰和中东的战争“使欧洲和亚洲国家非常渴望尝试巩固与加拿大的贸易关系”。

卡尼在达沃斯表示，加拿大已在四大洲签署了 12 项贸易和安全协议，点名提到了中国和卡塔尔，并与印度和东南亚进行了接触。

加拿大能与中国和印度开展更多贸易吗？

在美国之后，中国是加拿大的第二大贸易伙伴，且双方关系正在增强。尽管如此，去年对中国的出口仅占加拿大出口总额的 4.5%。

卡拉格西安（Karaguesian）表示，中国是加拿大的天然贸易伙伴。“这个工业巨兽需要能源，需要矿产，需要矿石，还需要食品，”他说道。

两国关系曾因加拿大在 2018 年逮捕一名被美国通缉的中国高科技公司高管，以及中国随后显然作为报复而拘押两名加拿大人而陷入紧张。卡尼（Carney）于 1 月前往北京，旨在“锻造一个新的加中合作伙伴关系”。卡尼与中国国家主席习近平宣布达成一项协议，加拿大将以较低的关税税率允许 49,000 辆中国电动汽车入境，以换取加拿大油菜籽及其他商品进入中国市场的渠道改善。

加拿大设定了到 2030 年将对华出口增加 50% 的目标。卡拉格西安表示，引力模型显示两国之间的贸易额“本可以达到现在的三倍”。

加拿大外交部已指出与中国贸易的“相关风险”，包括“市场准入障碍、不透明的监管”、“持续的知识产权盗窃”以及货物被转用于军事用途的风险。

卡拉格西安认为，加拿大应该“能够克服”这些担忧。“即使是鹰派也必须有所让步，因为我们现在讨论的是我们的经济生存问题。”

他表示，印度同样提供了出口机遇。印度快速工业化的经济需要能源，而这个世界上人口最多的国家需要食品。“这对加拿大来说是另一个巨大的市场潜力，”他说道，“而我们与印度的贸易量极低。” 2025 年对印度的出口额为 40 亿加元 billion，仅占加拿大出口总额的 0.5%。

与北京一样，渥太华近年来与新德里的关系也十分紧张。加拿大拥有印度以外规模最大的锡克教群体。其中部分成员活跃在寻求在印度旁遮普地区建立主权国家的哈利斯坦（Khalistan）分离主义运动中。

特鲁多（Trudeau）在 2023 年暗示，印度政府参与了当年在不列颠哥伦比亚省萨里市（Surrey）杀害分离主义领导人兼加拿大公民哈迪普·辛格·尼贾尔（Hardeep Singh Nijjar）的行动。印度外交部对此回应称，加拿大为反印“恐怖分子”提供了“避风港”。随着紧张局势升级，两国互相驱逐了对方的外交官。

但在特朗普关税威胁的背景下，卡尼与印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪（Narendra Modi）去年宣布就一项全面经济伙伴关系协定（CETA）进行谈判。卡尼于 3 月在新德里访问了莫迪；在会谈后，双方承诺在年底前完成协议。

霍普韦尔（Hopewell）表示，特朗普将贸易武器化已经“从根本上改变了”加拿大政策制定者和公民的考量，促使渥太华在对待这两个国家时采取“更为务实”的方式。

那么欧盟呢？

欧洲凭借其在发展标准、共同价值观和双语主义方面的特点，似乎与加拿大较为契合。一些评论人士建议该国可以加入欧盟，尽管这在欧盟目前的规则下无法实现。

在瑞士达沃斯，加拿大总理马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）今年警告称，世界秩序正出现“断裂”，这将导致一个“大国竞争”的新时代，在这个时代中，“强者可以为所欲为，弱者只能忍受必然的苦难”。

卡拉格西安（Karaguesian）表示，“在许多加拿大建制派政策制定者看来，欧洲似乎是‘触手可及的目标’且‘志同道合’。”双方确实存在贸易往来。虽然他们尚未完全批准自己的《综合经济贸易协定》（CETA），但该协定已临时实施了近十年。去年，双方的贸易额达到了 1786 亿加元 billion。

卡拉格西安表示，挑战在于双方都不太需要对方所销售的产品。“我们签署了数十个自由贸易协定，”他说，“但决定贸易模式的是市场和企业。”欧洲已经拥有成熟的制造业、农业综合企业和渔业。

“他们已经在这些领域饱和了，”卡拉格西安说，“所以欧洲看起来很棒，但那里没有太多可以扩展的领域。”

那么美国呢？

安德烈·伊万诺夫 / 法新社 / 盖蒂图片社 蒙特利尔港的集装箱。加拿大的一个关键挑战是开发包括港口、铁路和管道在内的基础设施，以便将商品出口到美国以外。

英属哥伦比亚大学国际贸易政策讲席教授维尔纳·安特韦勒（Werner Antweiler）表示，贸易战只会让双方的情况变得更糟。

“特朗普总是喜欢说：‘你知道，我们不需要加拿大的任何东西；加拿大依赖我们，’因此我们应该听凭他的摆布，听从他的指令，”安特韦勒说。

与邻国贸易可以最大限度地降低运输成本，并避免市场和边境摩擦。安特韦勒表示，随着这次“警钟”敲响，加拿大“必须整顿，而我们正在这样做”。他举例提到在管道和出口终端方面的投资，旨在将石油送往国际市场。

“我很抱歉，并非如此，”他说，“你拥有一个双方共同获益的综合经济体。这就是国际贸易的美妙之处。国际贸易是双赢的。双方通过专业化分工共同获益。”

“我们正在投入，在所有这些事情上投入巨资，”他说，“我们正在一点一点地建设加拿大。”

制造声势（或不制造）

By: Russ Finkelstein

我不指望你们从竞技跳水领域获得太多的职业建议。然而，我对评分机制非常着迷，尤其是水花越大，对总分的影响越负面这一点。但在跳水世界之外，特别是在职场中，人们往往努力追求并因制造尽可能大的“水花”（声势）而获得回报。

在我的职业生涯中，我一直更倾向于通过做好工作和做出有意义的贡献来获得动力，而不是为了吸引注意力。然而，在我那些不那么出色的时刻，我偶尔也会对那些爱出风头的人产生一阵嫉妒。尤其是那些看似贡献不大，却能设法寻求并赢得所有掌声的人。坦率地说，成为一个“大水花”或“小水花”的人各有得失。

成为一个“小水花”的人让我成为一名更好的管理者。我希望与我共事的人能够被注意到，并因他们的工作而获得关注和机会。我可以成为一名积极的拥护者，而不会觉得我这样做是为了自我推销。

然而，我们这些“小水花”可能会损害自己的名声，因为除了少数密切关注的人之外，我们可能永远无法真正被看见。结果，我们可能会错过一些有趣的机遇，因为关于我们成就的消息传得不够远。相比之下，“大水花”的人能抓住我们所有的注意力，强迫我们注意到他们。这可能会导致一个机会不断增加的循环，无论是在组织内部还是来自外部各方。媒体当然非常喜欢报道一个“大水花”的人！

不过，“大水花”的人也有一些困扰。他们可能会陷入一种循环，需要频繁甚至持续的公众关注才能感觉到自己有价值。而要实现或保证这种规律性的成功并不容易。他们在与同样渴望类似关注的其他个人或机构建立互利伙伴关系时，也可能会遇到困难。这种情况可能会延伸到才华横溢的团队成员身上，让他们觉得这个人是一个“注意力遮蔽者”，掩盖了他人。此外，过大的水花也可能让人难以看清真相，或者最终只是一团糟。如果处理不当，一次“大水花”可能会变成一场尴尬。

在我们的新网站上寻找你的新工作

虽然有些“大肆张扬者”确实是由自我意识驱动的，但还有很多其他情况，他们将这种张扬视为其工作获得成功所需关注（或他们个人所需关注）的唯一途径。也许他们有一个看不见他们的上司，或者身处一个像他们这样的人较难获得机会的环境中。

我与处于“张扬光谱”各个阶段的人都合作过，深知他们的动机各异。我认为找到适合自己的位置有点像炼金术。随着时间的推移，我逐渐远离了“毫无张扬”的状态，因为我意识到这让我感到受限。我也意识到，对于我最在意的一些工作以及我希望以某种方式帮助的人们来说，在这些情境中表现得更加从容会更有成效。

几个可以问自己的问题，用来思考你是否处于光谱中应在的位置：

- 你对所做工作获得的关注和肯定感到满意吗？

- 你是否觉得你的工作在内部或外部可以获得更多关注？

- 如何才能获得更多关注？你需要做些什么？

- 如果获得了关注，你是否可能是那个获得关注的人？如果不是，你希望自己是吗？

- 如果在目前的情况下无法获得这种关注，你认为你是否需要去其他地方工作？

- 你是否愿意在另一个环境中（例如专业组织或服务工作）凭借这些技能获得关注？

- 你能否找到一种方法，在引起关注的同时将这种关注分给他人？

好消息是，你始终有机会成为一个不同的人，或在不同的环境中工作。这未必容易，但它是可能的。我希望你正处于光谱中你需要的位置。如果不是，你完全有能力去做那些能让他人更多地看到你的影响力，或与他人分享这种影响力的事情。

担忧日益增加，呼吁采取行动保障投票权

照片由 ERIC LEE / 为《华盛顿邮报》拍摄 在周五举行的今年“华盛顿大游行”中，参与者庆祝了过去取得的成就，并对这些进步可能被抹除表示担忧。

在“华盛顿大游行”63周年之际，数千人聚集在一起以“捍卫投票权”

作者：JASMINE GOLDEN

六十三年前，民权领袖在约 25 万人的陪同下，前往华盛顿参加旨在争取就业与自由的“华盛顿大游行”。

周五，在纪念日之际，来自全国各地的数千人聚集在林肯纪念堂前，向过去的进步致敬，并表达对这些成果可能被抹除的担忧。

在最高法院削弱了具有历史意义的《投票权法》中的一项关键条款数月后，演讲者们批评了投票障碍，并强调在期中选举临近之际，美国人为何应该参与投票。

此次示威活动由阿尔·夏普顿 (Al Sharpton) 牧师、马丁·路德·金三世 (Martin Luther King III) 及其妻子阿恩德里亚·沃特斯·金 (Arndrea Waters King)、全国行动网络 (National Action Network) 和鼓手领袖研究所 (Drum Major Institute) 领导。活动在林肯纪念堂台阶上开始，随后人群在下午向马丁·路德·金纪念馆进发。

夏普顿告诉人群，人们游行的目的有三点：投票权、负担得起的医疗保健，以及多样性、公平与包容。

“在这个国家，我们仍然必须为维持和更新投票权而奋斗，这一事实简直糟糕透顶，”金三世说。“这简直是全国性的耻辱。”

一群被工作人员和安保人员簇拥的民主党和进步派政治人物走上台阶发表讲话，其中包括参议员伯尼·桑德斯 (Bernie Sanders，独立人士-佛蒙特州)、众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯 (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez，民主党-纽约州)、众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯 (Hakeem Jeffries，民主党-纽约州) 以及弗吉尼亚州州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格 (Abigail Spanberger)。

安全事件引发变动

海军陆战队一号，里根沟通失误

NTSB：白宫施工在其中起到了作用

作者：LIAM SCOTT

根据周四发布的一份初步报告，由于本月初白宫正在进行施工，唐纳德·特朗普总统的“海军陆战队一号”直升机从一个临时地点起飞，导致了通信问题以及与里根国家机场的一次安全事故。

8月4日，当特朗普从椭圆形草坪（the Ellipse）的一个临时地点起飞时，国家机场的空中交通管制员尚未停止商业航班。

按照规定，“海军陆战队一号”在起飞前应向国家机场的空中交通管制员发出三分钟预警，以便管制员清理空域，为直升机前往马里兰州安德鲁斯联合基地的路线提供无障碍通行。

但根据国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）的一份初步报告，空中交通管制记录显示，第一次尝试联系管制塔台完全没有被接收到，而第二次尝试则“断断续续且完全无法读取”。

报告称，“海军陆战队一号”在白宫施工期间从椭圆形草坪起飞。据 NTSB 称，技术人员随后确定，该临时位置处于一个无法为所需无线电通信提供直接视线接触的位置。

报告显示，在事故发生一周前，管制员与总统直升机的飞行员曾会面讨论通信问题。

在 2025 年机场附近发生一起造成 67 人死亡的致命空中相撞事故后，除最关键的直升机飞行外，机场附近的所有直升机飞行均被禁止，且新规定禁止直升机与商业喷气式飞机在机场附近的某些区域占用同一空域。

恩布里-里德尔航空大学（Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University）空中交通管理项目协调员迈克尔·麦考密克（Michael McCormick）表示，他对最近的通信问题感到担忧。

他说：“因为这是‘海军陆战队一号’，我认为这非常严重。”

在 8 月的事故发生后不久，美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）表示，“海军陆战队一号”与一架商业喷气式飞机之间出现了“瞬间的间隔丢失”，随后两架飞机继续相互远离。

条件的“完美风暴”导致水母在大西洋沿岸大量繁殖

作者：DANA HEDGPETH

这可能是一部名为《水母袭击》的恐怖电影。

救生员、游泳者和生物学家表示，今年夏天，从鳕鱼角（Cape Cod）到华盛顿特区周边热门海滩的大西洋沿岸，这些具有强力刺痛能力的蠕动胶状生物出现了异常大规模的聚集。

在海洋城市海滩巡逻队（Ocean City Beach Patrol）服务了 50 年的梅尔本·“布奇”·阿尔宾三世（Melbourne “Butch” Arbin III）上尉说，今年夏天是“我见过的该时间段内最糟糕的一次”。

阿尔宾说：“有些游客不想进入大海，因为他们不想冒险。”

今年夏天，水母群给该地区带来了黏液和刺痛

专家表示，条件的完美汇合使得水母得以繁衍：温暖的海洋温度和长期的干旱使盐度保持在高位。而且没有淡水流入来搅动洋流并将这些半透明、脆弱的生物推向深海。

哪些地区受到了影响？情况有多严重？

特拉华州的贝瑟尼（Bethany）、雷霍博斯（Rehoboth）和刘易斯（Lewes）海滩，以及马里兰州的海洋城市（Ocean City）——这些都是夏季避暑的热点地区——均报告海刺囊（sea nettles）、湾刺囊（bay nettles）和狮鬃水母（Lion's mane）类水母数量增加。

专家表示，很难准确统计出水母的具体数量，部分原因是水母是主要由水组成的胶状物，在汹涌浑浊的浪花中很难被发现。它们聚集在密集且不均匀的集群中（称为“水母爆发”），这些集群形成迅速，但也很容易

详见 B17 页关于水母的报道

水母的激增和报道的刺痛事件使许多游泳者不敢进入水中。

这位议员兼民主党国会代表提名人，推动华盛顿特区成为一个州。

“华盛顿特区建州是一个种族正义问题，”刘易斯·乔治（Lewis George）表示，“这是一个投票权问题。”

此次游行被定性为非党派活动。但许多演讲者在凝视着封闭的反思池时，直接将矛头指向总统唐纳德·特朗普及其政府的政策。

活动吸引了从纽约到休斯顿的参与者，他们聚集在树荫下或林肯纪念堂的台阶上。

云层在上方盘旋，但未能完全缓解酷热。国家公园管理局的工作人员向参与者分发瓶装水，其中一些人穿着代表其组织或团体的统一 T 恤。

73 岁的约瑟夫·沃克（Joseph Walker）表示，从佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔开车过来花了 10 小时。他回忆起年轻时，有一天他的父亲回家告诉沃克的母亲，他的老板威胁说，如果被发现出现在投票站，他将失去工作。

“我要确保这种情况不再发生，”沃克说。

费尔南多·萨拉戈萨，87 岁，第一个打电话的人

我的费尔南多舅舅经常开些糟糕的“老爸笑话”，深爱他的妻子和母亲，爱逗他的兄弟姐妹和中年子女，并通过服务来表达爱意。每一面粉刷的墙壁、每一片修剪的草坪、每一箱加满的汽油和每一件代买的杂货，都是他照顾亲人的方式。他的电话很短，且充满了对他没有先给他打电话的温柔调侃。他从未错过一张生日卡片、一场棒球赛或一次毕业典礼。你总是能感觉到自己在他的心中很重要。我绝不是唯一一个收到电话、卡片、探访、偶尔的借款和帮扶的人。他的魔力在于连接。

我那丧偶的父亲是一位完美的绅士。作为一名从未拒绝过任何患者就医的普外科医生，他有时接受农产品或钓鱼邀请来代替诊金。他尊重每一个人——无论是患者、家属、护士、护理员还是同行医生。随着健康状况恶化，他先是搬到了辅助生活社区，随后进入长期护理机构。养老院的许多工作人员曾以某种形式与他共事，在他生命的最后一年里，他们对他充满了同情与关怀。有一次，我带他去看神经内科医生；他非常渴望能治好自己的认知障碍。在检查过程中，他拍了拍臀部的口袋，想摸摸他的手帕。但手帕不在那里。当我递给他一张纸巾时，他解释说他自己不需要手帕，但“绅士总是随身携带一块手帕，以防女士需要”。

多萝西·D·罗宾斯（Dorothy D. Robbins）曾是一名缝纫工，五个孩子的母亲。她于7月3日在加利福尼亚州威斯敏斯特去世。

埃莉诺·法夸尔，93岁 最后一场派对

今年春天，埃莉诺奶奶举办了她的最后一场派对，请了一位魔术师，在整个下午为她绝大多数的16个曾孙辈提供娱乐。在他们还是孩子的时候，每年的夏天，他们的父母都会在她在康涅狄格州的屋檐下度过一周，在那里，三明治要沿对角线切开，用餐前要在膝盖上铺好餐巾，将湿泳衣挂在晾衣绳上，而且——这是基本要求——每天早晨无需提醒就要铺好床铺。如今，一位发型无可挑剔的瘦小女性抓着助行器，指导下一代如何在头上顶着一本纤薄的书保持平衡地行走。几周后，感谢信接踵而至，有些是由父母带来的，他们希望与这位奶奶共度更多时光，因为她愿意倾听，并对任何话题分享她毫不掩饰的观点。在她生命的最后一周，当她发现餐桌上摆的是不锈钢餐具而非银餐具时，她那身为医生的女婿局促地承认了责任。“噢，好吧，那没关系，”她说。

埃莉诺·肯尼·法夸尔（Elinor Kenney Farquhar）曾是一名华盛顿志愿者和慈善家。她于8月1日在华盛顿特区去世。

NTSB：白宫工作成为安全事故的一个因素

B14 来源的海军陆战队

8月 11 日，搭载唐纳德·特朗普总统的海军陆战队一号直升机（左）从椭圆形草坪起飞，前往马里兰州的安德鲁斯联合基地。

报告称，两架飞机在最近点时，横向距离为 0.82 海里，纵向距离为 700 英尺。

白宫发言人库什·德赛（Kush Desai）在一份声明中表示，海军陆战队一号的飞行“由世界上最优秀的飞行员驾驶”。

德赛表示，尽管特朗普在事故期间没有处于危险之中，但“白宫将继续与相关的军方、美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）及其他安全人员合作，以确保总统的持续安全”。

麦考密克（McCormick）表示，虽然通信问题引发了严重关注，但此次特定事故中的危险程度被证明相对较低。他说：“间隔丢失至多只是瞬间的”，“碰撞的风险并不存在”。

根据不属于 NTSB 调查结果的新无线电录音，海军陆战队一号与国家机场空中交通管制员之间似乎在周四下午又发生了另一次通信问题。

根据 ATC.com 上的空中交通录音，一名海军陆战队一号的飞行员在下午 3 点前约一分钟时说：“国家塔台，海军陆战队一号，距离起飞还有 3 分钟。”大约 30 秒后，一名海军陆战队一号飞行员重复了该信息。

当空中交通管制员没有回应时，一名乘坐美国公园警察直升机（代号为 Eagle II）的飞行员介入了。该飞行员告诉管制员：“海军陆战队一号一直试图联系您，距离起飞还有 3 分钟。”

“噢，我刚才没听到，收到，Eagle II，谢谢，”管制员回答道。

不久之后，空中交通管制员询问 Eagle II 飞行员是在什么时候听到海军陆战队一号的三分钟警告的。

“就在我说话之前的 20 秒左右，”Eagle II 飞行员说。

接着，空中交通管制员继续向附近的一名医疗救援直升机飞行员询问关于海军陆战队一号的信息。“我听不到海军陆战队一号。如果你听到海军陆战队一号，能告诉我吗？”管制员问道。

根据其公开行程，特朗普于下午 3:03 从椭圆形草坪出发前往安德鲁斯联合基地，随后前往德克萨斯州。

一名 FAA 发言人表示，在 8 月 4 日的事故之后，FAA 表示其重新安置了一个天线，以改善国家机场空中交通管制员与海军陆战队一号飞行员之间的通信。

关于周四的通信问题，该发言人表示，三分钟通知“是通过替代手段传达的，并得到了管制员的确认，在起飞前与海军陆战队一号建立了有效联系”。

白宫没有立即回应关于周四通信问题的置评请求。

海洋温度升高与长期干旱促使水母大量繁殖

ROBYN STEVENS BRODY / SIPA USA / REUTERS CONNECT

“并不是因为它们想刺伤我们，”一位海洋科学专家表示，“而是因为它们在寻找食物时，会刺伤触碰到的任何东西。”

B14 水母

被风和潮汐冲走。它们还会躲在岩石或码头下方，这使得发现它们变得更加困难。

当地海滩的救生员表示，他们每天都会收到游泳者和游客关于被刺伤的多起投诉及求助请求。阿尔宾（Arbin）表示，今年夏天，海洋城（Ocean City）已接到了 3,000 多次急救电话，其中大部分是因为水母刺伤。

贝瑟尼海滩巡逻队（Bethany Beach Patrol）队长乔·唐纳利（Joe Donnelly）表示，他的救生员注意到今年夏天的水母数量有所增加。专家表示，通常大多数种类的水母季节大约从 6 月持续到 10 月，并在最炎热的 7 月和 8 月达到顶峰。

唐纳利说，今年的水母季节“持续时间更长，强度也略高”。

特拉华大学特拉华海域授予计划（Delaware Sea Grant）海洋咨询服务主任克里斯·佩特罗内（Chris Petrone）表示，当我们潜入海洋或海湾时，人类其实是进入了“它们的家”。佩特罗内说，不幸的是，在这个时节，我们避暑的需求恰好与水母的大规模爆发重合。

导致数量激增的原因是什么？

夏季高温导致海水升温，再加上今年春夏季的极端干旱，增加了海水的盐度。此外，佩特罗内表示，近期没有出现任何重大的沿海风暴，甚至没有风暴残余来“将深层的冷水挖掘并推向表面”。他说，这为水母的繁衍创造了“完美的风暴”条件。

专家表示，虽然持续的强风或洋流可以将水母吹离海岸，从而给海滩游客带来缓解，但他们预计这种情况在空气和水温降低，或者出现能将它们冲向深海的大规模沿海风暴和强降雨之前不会发生。

水母为什么会刺人？

它们存在的时间比恐龙还要长。它们没有骨骼、大脑或心脏，但拥有触手，触手上有专门的刺细胞，用于捕捉猎物和自我防御。马里兰大学东岸分校海洋生物资源合作科学中心副主任玛吉·塞克斯顿（Maggie Sexton）解释说，当它们触碰到物体时，这些细胞会发射出一根由细线连接在触手上的小针，从而注入毒素。

“并不是因为它们想刺伤我们，”塞克斯顿说，“而是因为它们在寻找食物时，会刺伤触碰到的任何东西——无论那是岩石、码头，还是我们。”

您能做什么？如果被蜇了该怎么办？

无需完全远离水域，但穿着较长的泳衣或防晒泳衣（rash guard shirt）会有所帮助。如果您确实被蜇了，通常只会产生轻微的瘙痒刺激感。救生员通常配备有缓解蜇伤的湿巾。

阿尔宾和其他救生官员表示，他们注意到一些游客在沙滩上玩耍的时间增加了，专注于堆沙堡，以避免在水中发生不必要的接触。一些孩子在收集这些生物，并以一种令人毛骨悚然的冷静将其切碎。专家表示，这并不是一个有益的游戏。当一些较大的碎片回到水中时，它们可能会存活下来。在一个社交媒体页面上，一些在雷霍博斯海滩（Rehoboth Beach）的游客就孩子们虐待搁浅动物的不人道行为互相地指责，争论这究竟是教养不端的迹象，还是一个可以理解的“粗暴正义”案例。

“风险自担，”肖娜·加斯佩罗（Shauna Gaspero）在本月早些时候与家人在雷霍博斯度假后在 Facebook 上写道。“我们今天都被蜇了，但我儿子的情况最严重！太可怕了。”

救生员表示，治疗蜇伤的方法是先清洗患处，然后涂抹醋水溶液，这有助于将水母细小的刺从皮肤中排出。

另一种治疗方法：使用小苏打和海水混合调制成糊状物。氢考的松软膏（Hydrocortisone cream）也可以帮助消除瘙痒和灼热感。

出现严重反应的人员，包括呼吸困难、胸痛或严重腹痛，应寻求专业的医疗帮助。

迈克尔·赖特（MICHAEL WRIGHT），70岁

演员在《五颗心跳》中找到了自己的声音

拍子，”他告诉加马什。

作者：艾米莉·圣马丁（EMILY ST. MARTIN） 洛杉矶时报

演员迈克尔·赖特（Michael Wright）去世，享年 70 岁。他最著名的角色是在深受喜爱且常被引用、受 Motown 音乐启发电影《五颗心跳》（The Five Heartbeats）中饰演的埃迪·金二世（Eddie King Jr.），以及出演 HBO 系列剧《监狱》（Oz）。

该演员的妻子苏珊·赖特（Susan Wright）于 8 月 21, 在社交媒体上确认了他的死讯，写道：“我怀着深切的悲痛和难以想象的沉重心情，告知大家我挚爱的丈夫迈克尔·赖特已经离世。”

演员的家人在给 TMZ 的一份声明中表示，赖特先生于周三在洛杉矶去世，死因显然是心力衰竭以及与 Marchiafava-Bignami（一种罕见且进行性的神经系统疾病）相关的并发症。

“许多人通过《五颗心跳》、《流浪者》（The Wanderers）、《V》、《校长》（The Principal）、《流光》（Streamers）以及他在卓越职业生涯中赋予生命的许多其他角色而认识并喜爱他，”帖子继续写道。“他的才华、气场以及对电影和电视的贡献将永存，但对于我们这些在私人生活中爱他的人来说，他远不止于世人所熟知的那些角色。”

“我们的家庭正在经历一场巨大的、深刻的私人损失。我们明白迈克尔对许多人意味着什么，我们对目前收到的爱、祈祷、回忆和吊唁深表感激。”

苏珊·赖特请求给予“悲痛所需的隐私与宽容”，并希望“人们不要分享未经证实的信息”，她补充说，当家人准备好时，他们将分享更多关于这位演员的生平以及纪念他的计划。

她补充道：“迈克尔，你的作品将永恒，但你的爱将在那些最了解你的人心中延续得更久。安息吧，我的爱人。你离去的损失无法用言语表达。”

迈克尔·赖特于 30, 1956, 4 月出生在纽约市。他的母亲阿尔伯塔·赖特（Alberta Wright）在曼哈顿上西区经营一家名为 Jezebel 的古着店，赖特先生将职业生涯的启动归功于她。“安娜·斯特拉斯伯格（Ana Strasberg）女士来到店里，我母亲告诉她我有一个刚起步的演员儿子，斯特拉斯伯格女士邀请我前往李·斯特拉斯伯格戏剧学院（Lee Strasberg Theater Institute）与她面谈，那次会面……改变了我的人生，”他在 2015 年参加《西西·加马什秀》（The Sissy Gamache Show）时说道。

在学院里，赖特先生参加了一个勤工俭学项目——拖地、接电话，并面试其他希望成为演员的人，以查看他们是否具备在该项目中取得成功的能力。安娜成为了赖特先生的导师，而他成为了李·斯特拉斯伯格的秘书。

“我接触表演过程时，已经阅读了所有能找到的相关资料。……我是康斯坦丁 [斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基] 的追随者。我了解 [理查德] 波莱斯拉夫斯基。我了解 [叶夫根尼] 瓦赫坦戈夫。我明白这个过程是如何进行的——那是放松。那是专注。是意图。我会像对待极其重要的事情一样给我的剧本打分，我会逐字、逐句、逐刻、逐拍地执行一切。”

“在一天结束时，当导演说‘咔’，我就像脱掉这件衬衫一样脱掉那个角色，然后把他挂在衣橱里。”

赖特先生在 1979 年的《流浪者》中获得了他的第一个电影角色，并在 1983 年通过在科幻迷你剧《V》中饰演埃利亚斯·泰勒（Elias Taylor）获得了第一个重大电视突破，这一角色延续到了 1984 年的《V：最终决战》（V: The Final Battle）以及 1984 年至 1985 年播出的《V》系列剧中。

“我从未决定要去洛杉矶，”他告诉加马什。“我是必须得去。”

“我被选入了一部科幻迷你剧。那是我人生中最神奇的经历之一：降落在洛杉矶国际机场（LAX），被接走并沿着 [州际] 10 公路行驶，然后驶入巴汉大道（Barham Boulevard），看到了华纳兄弟工作室，”他继续说道。“就像进入了翡翠之城一样。我到了那里，穿过工作室的大门，被引导到我的化妆间，能够自由地在片场走动，看到所有那些我从小就熟悉的布景。”

在 20 世纪 80 年代，他出演了包括《迈阿密风云》在内的电视项目，以及电影，包括 1987 年由吉姆·贝尔尤希和路易斯·高塞特二世主演的《校长》（The Principal）和 1987 年的浪漫剧情片《卧室之眼》（Bedroom Eyes）。

在 90 年代，他出演了多部邪典经典作品，包括《狮心》（Lionheart）、《糖山》（Sugarhill）以及他最著名的项目《五颗心跳》（The Five Heartbeats）。在片中，赖特先生饰演了情绪不稳定且有药物依赖的灵魂歌手埃迪·金二世（Eddie King Jr.），该角色被广泛认为是这部电影的核心。

“毫无疑问，埃迪·金二世是非裔美国电影中一个标志性的电影人物，”这位演员告诉加马什。“我每天无论走到哪里，总会遇到认出我是埃迪·金的人。他们熟悉我的所有歌曲，而且他们比我更记得我的台词。”

到了 2000 年代，迈克尔被邀请试镜 HBO 早期顶级正剧《监狱》（Oz）中一个单集角色，他在片中饰演一名热爱诗歌的囚犯。

在谈到这次试镜时，他告诉加马什：“我进去之后，完全陷入了疯狂的状态。”“我拍完那一集，花了一周时间，然后结束后我回到化妆间，发现床上放着另一本剧本。我说：‘好吧，这很有意思。’于是我拍了那一集。等那一集拍完，床上又出现了一个剧本，我说：‘好吧。’然后我拍了那一集，床上又出现了一个剧本。于是我说：‘噢，该死！我想我成了常驻演员了。’”

罗伯特·汤森在《五颗心跳》中担任导演并饰演唐纳德·“鸭子”·马修斯，他在 2018 年告诉《早餐俱乐部》（The Breakfast Club），他最初考虑让丹泽尔·华盛顿出演这个角色，但当赖特先生来试读剧本时，他意识到“这家伙才是扮演埃迪·金的最佳人选”。

汤森在周末于 X 上发布了一篇悼文，并在一段赖特饰演的埃迪在合唱团唱歌的电影片段旁写道：“写这段话时……泪流满面。迈克尔是一位‘纯粹的艺术家’。”

赖特先生的遗属包括他的妻子苏珊；子女马农·赖特、拜伦·巴尔、布里特妮·布里格斯、布里安娜·巴尔和赛尔·巴尔；以及孙女 Yoko。

鲍勃和凯瑟琳共同拥有SunStar Strategic，一家金融公共关系公司。作为首席财务官，他最持久的贡献是建立了公司的文化，并以冷静、关怀和高效进行领导。他拥有一种谦逊的魅力，能吸引人们向他靠拢，让他们感到舒适、被重视和受欢迎，同时他始终坚守自己的价值观并期待相互尊重。

然而，没有什么比家人更能给他带来快乐。他热爱与苏珊一起环游世界，参观历史遗迹，品尝当地美食，探索新文化。约翰珍惜与他优秀的子女和孙辈共度的时光，并且总是乐意一起去吃冰淇淋。他热爱与家人一起进行精彩的“公路旅行”，并在年轻时度过了许多时光，在奥特班克斯（Outer Banks）给你“bados”。今年夏天，他的孙女们将度假氛围带到了奥克顿，并将他的房子装饰成海滩主题——这对于一个经常开玩笑说自己没有退休，而只是在担任“专业爷爷”的人来说，是一个恰如其分的致敬。

当需要时，请让家属在殡葬服务指南中找到您。

尽管人们将深深地思念约翰，但他对国家的服务精神和对家庭的奉献将继续激励所有有幸称他为丈夫、父亲、祖父、同事和朋友的人。他是一位伟大的美国人。

J. 伯纳德·墨菲 (J. BERNARD MURPHY)（Age 91）

约翰·伯纳德·墨菲二世 (John Bernard Murphy II) 于 August 18, 2026 在弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚在家人陪伴下安详离世。他于 April 26, 1935 出生在新斯科舍省哈利法克斯，父母为约翰·伯纳德·墨菲和玛丽·康登 (Mary Condon)（墨菲）伯克。他被人们称为伯纳德 (Bernard)（发音为 Bur-nerd），虽是独生子，但在加拿大海事各省有许多表亲、姑姨和叔舅。二年级时，他被送往一所法语寄宿学校，尽管当时他还不懂法语。伯纳德自称早年学习成绩不佳，但最终通过获得应用社会人类学博士学位克服了这一点。他的研究重点是城市化对家庭的影响，随后在多所大学任教。

伯纳德毕业于哈利法克斯罗马天主教总教区的一所学校——圣玛丽大学 (St. Mary's University)，获得文科学位，并曾短时间考虑过投身修道生活。最终，他在埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴担任英语和法语教师，同时研究移民对非洲家庭结构的影响。他曾随一个埃塞俄比亚代表团前往梵蒂冈，就该国相关利益接见教皇。伯纳德是唯一一名精通法语的人，而法语是与教皇若望二十三世 (Pope John XXIII) 的通用语言，这使他能够代表同行直接与教皇交谈，这成为了他人生中的一次决定性经历。两年后，他带着对埃塞俄比亚及其人民的深厚感情和在那里的经历返回加拿大。回国后，伯纳德在安大略省温莎的加拿大广播公司 (CBC) 担任公共事务制片人和导演，专注于地方研究与人类学，并在密歇根州底特律的韦恩州立大学 (Wayne State University) 攻读应用社会人类学博士学位。获得学位后，他加入印第安纳州门西的鲍尔州立大学 (Ball State University) 任教，担任社会学和人类学教授。在鲍尔州立大学，他遇到了相伴 57 年的妻子玛莎·哈德洛 (Marsha Hudlow)。据记载，他们在一次面向新教员的自助晚餐上开始交谈。伯纳德和玛莎于 August 1, 1969. 在弗吉尼亚州里士满结婚。当时，伯纳德在弗吉尼亚联邦大学 (Virginia Commonwealth University) 担任地方研究、人类学和社会学教授，而玛莎则是里士蒙大学 (University of Richmond) 韦斯汉普顿学院 (Westhampton College) 的历史学教授。

伯纳德对人类学和城市规划的研究使他终身热爱历史保护，并养成了购买和翻修历史建筑的爱好。七十年代初，他们在里士满的丘奇希尔 (Church Hill) 社区买了一栋房子，虽然当时显然需要大修，但后来变得非常美丽。In 1973, 玛莎和伯纳德迎来了他们挚爱的独生子克里斯托弗 (Christopher)

MURPHY

C. 穆菲，两年内他们搬到了弗吉尼亚州诺福克。在那段时间里，伯纳德是奥尔多明尼恩大学的教授，他们在根特社区购买了另一处历史房产。1979年，伯纳德在华盛顿特区海军部找到一份工作，随后他们搬到了弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚。他们将亚历山德里亚视为家园超过45年，最初住在布拉多克高地，之后的大部分时间住在老城。

在海军部担任文职人员的近20年里，伯纳德将他对保护的热情与他在人类学领域的学术研究结合在一起。凭借在城市规划和建筑历史方面的专业知识，他曾担任联邦保护官员（FPO），并在海军作战部长办公室（OPNAV）以及最后的海军部长办公室（SECNAV）担任特别顾问，直到1999年退休。在这一高级文职岗位上，他领导海军部的文化资源计划，在国防需求与保护历史军事建筑、历史舰船及坠毁军机之间寻求平衡。伯纳德无法长期退休，在离开海军后，他在2005年成为一名持证治疗师，并在约翰·霍普金斯大学获得了社区心理学的博士后证书。他在亚历山德里亚从事私人执业多年，直到年近80岁。

家人对伯纳德来说是至宝。伯纳德、玛莎和克里斯托弗拥有极佳的幽默感，从不避讳互相打趣、嘲笑，有时甚至让对方尴尬到流泪，但这都是出于好意。伯纳德和克里斯托弗曾多次一起前往落基山脉和阿尔卑斯山滑雪，伯纳德在那里将他对滑雪的热爱传给了儿子。

20世纪80年代初，伯纳德和玛莎加入了亚历山德里亚的圣保罗圣公会教堂，该教堂恰好位于他们南皮特街住所几百码远的地方。伯纳德曾担任圣保罗教堂的初级执事，随后担任高级执事，多年来他一直是该教堂的忠实成员，并在周日担任平信徒读者。几十年来，伯纳德和玛莎热爱他们的老城社区以及圣保罗教堂的群体，在那里他们结交了终身的朋友。秉承他对保护的热情，他在20世纪80年代担任亚历山德里亚建筑审查委员会成员，并担任三届主席。

伯纳德也是一个慈爱的祖父，他的孙子们分别是与他同名的约翰·伯纳德·穆菲三世（杰克）和威廉·特拉布·穆菲。伯纳德和玛莎与孙辈的关系非常好，从未错过祖父母节或生日派对，并且总是准备好带他们去玩具反斗城，然后去麦当劳喝奶昔。在最后的岁月里，伯纳德住在亚历山德里亚的古德温之家，在那里他拥有一个亲密的朋友圈和经常一起共进晚餐的同伴。古德温之家的社区给他带来了快乐和满足感。伯纳德的遗属包括他的妻子玛莎·H·穆菲，儿子克里斯托弗·C·穆菲（及其妻子凯瑟琳），以及孙子杰克和威廉。家属感谢亚历山德里亚古德温之家和临终关怀中心的护士及护理人员在近几个月对他提供的照顾。

庆祝伯纳德生命的追思仪式将于2026年9月4日上午11:00在弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚的圣保罗圣公会教堂举行。

STEWART

JOSEPH GAWLER'S SONS, LLC 殡仪馆 成立于 1491 年

爱丽丝始终具有公民意识，在 1963. 年 8 月参加马丁·路德·金领导的“向华盛顿进军”争取就业与自由大游行后，她经历了政治觉醒。她成为了一名环保主义者、热心的回收利用者和快乐的作曲家。作为一名终身民主党人，她曾前往洛杉矶和亚特兰蒂克城参加 1960 年和 1964 年的民主党全国代表大会（DNC）。从林登·B·约翰逊 1964 年的总统竞选到 2020 年的人口普查，她为各种事业提供志愿服务，并且从未停止向政治人物撰写真挚的信件、为选定的候选人拉票以及在选举期间参与投票站工作。回到特区后，她共同创立了“通过艺术连接邻里”（Neighbors through Art），这是一个由第 3 区帕利塞兹（Palisades）和第 7. 区希尔克雷斯特（Hillcrest）居民组成的合作组织。她的爱国主义活动从未减弱，在她卧室的墙上，至今还装饰着自制的纸板标语，号召公民“恢复善良与‘文明’”，以及其他积极的信息。

SILVERBERG

佩吉聪明、美丽且才华横溢。她全心全意地接纳了海军妻子的身份并倾尽所有。她带着5个孩子在全国乃至全球各地搬迁，且始终保持着优雅与风度。她的才华极多：

杰克逊隐居地（Jackson's Hermitage），并在晚年整理了自己祖先的纪念品和文件。她撰写了一本关于当地历史的书籍《华盛顿特区帕利塞兹》（The Palisades of Washington, DC），由 Arcadia 出版社于 2005 年出版，并以担任专门介绍历史遗迹的导游，向访客展示她的家乡为荣。

以及美国大学华盛顿法学院。

爱丽丝热爱体育活动和锻炼，对现代舞充满热情，这促使她跟随两位德国舞者学习：在柏林学习玛丽·维格曼（Mary Wigman），在华盛顿学习埃里卡·蒂梅（Erika Thimey）。她从 57, 岁起完成了七场马拉松，其中包括三场在纽约市举行的比赛、“巨人大道”马拉松（与儿子威廉共同参加）、海军陆战队马拉松以及在纳什维尔举行的乡村音乐马拉松。她曾是其父母曾加入的同一个华盛顿方舞团中一名可靠且热情的成员。

法学院毕业后，西尔伯格先生在巴尔的摩的法律援助机构工作，随后加入了全国财政雇员工会，在那里他代表分布在全国各地的联邦雇员。西尔伯格先生后来在哥伦比亚特区开设了自己的私人执业所，专门从事劳动法。西尔伯格先生的职业生涯以厌恶欺凌者以及致力于代表弱势群体（主要是寻求职场公正的客户）的奉献精神和热情为标志。他拥有极其宽广的胸襟和极佳的幽默感。在朋友、同事以及对方律师等所有人的心目中，西尔伯格先生被认为是一个真正的君子（mensch）。

除妻子外，西尔伯格先生的遗属还包括儿子杰弗里·本杰明·西尔伯格（Jeffrey Benjamin Silverberg）、杰弗里的妻子来自哥伦比亚的摩根（Morgan），以及孙子利维·西尔伯格（Levi Silverberg）。他为能成为祖父而感到欣喜，并享受与孙子共度的时光。西尔伯格先生的遗属还包括住在马里兰州格林卡斯尔的岳父母史蒂文·卡西诺夫博士（Dr. Steven Kasinof）和阿米莉亚·卡西诺夫（Amelia Kasinof）；住在银春的侄女劳拉·卡西诺夫（Laura Kasinof，配偶奥斯汀·考利 Austin Cowley）；以及众多深爱且忠诚的朋友。

葬礼仪式于 8 月 18 日在哈格斯敦的 B'Nai Abraham 墓地举行，由马克·J·珀曼（Mark J. Perman）拉比主持。

在 35, 岁开始学习小提琴后，爱丽丝成为了一名热情的业余音乐家。她经常与朋友们演奏四重奏，并将其中一个团体命名为“Callando con Brio”：意为缓慢地减弱，但富有精神。后来，她在自己的曲目中加入了中提琴，并在她人生最后一个夜晚参加了一堂钢琴课。

爱丽丝在自然中寻找快乐，热爱照料她那俯瞰肥皂石谷（Soapstone Valley）阳台上的众多植物。她与已故伴侣比尔·威尔考克斯（Bill Willcox）共同生活，两人之间拥有纯洁且丰盈的爱。他们将一起安葬在岩溪墓地（Rock Creek Cemetery），就在她的父母和外祖父母身边。

爱丽丝宽厚的心倾注在她幸存的三名子女和两名挚爱的孙女身上：纽约市的帕洛玛·罗斯·安尼瓦斯（Paloma Rose Anievas）和华盛顿特区的塞拉芬·温特·斯图尔特（Seraphine Winter Stewart）。她是一个极其谦卑且温柔的人，认识她的人都被她温柔的品质所感染。

追思会将于 4, 2026, 10 月 4 日在国家建筑博物馆礼堂举行。爱丽丝请求以捐款代替献花，捐款对象可为：甜布里尔学院（Sweet Briar College）、莱文音乐学院（Levine Music）、苹果山室内乐中心（Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music）、青年音乐家协会（Young Concert Artists）、国家建筑博物馆或 Posse 基金会。

SULLIVAN

并担任美国政府高级行政人员（Senior Executive Service）关于有效领导实践的顾问，同时在国家儿童医学中心担任研究员，在那里他培训了多名住院医师，旨在提高他们与急性淋巴细胞白血病患儿家长有效沟通的技巧。

在 1983 年至 1988, 年期间的不同时间段，比尔曾在三一学院、乔治·华盛顿大学和乔治梅森大学担任兼职教授。比尔对教育的热爱以及帮助学生寻找热情的决心从未疲倦或动摇。只要有机会，他会与任何有志于深造的人交谈，或协助他们实现这一目标。

在拉普兰，他每天早晨出发时只背一个装满橙子的背包。

在 60 年代华盛顿酒店的一次“单身人士”舞会上，比尔遇到了他未来的妻子 Bea。他的善良、正直和优美的歌声，更不用说他那爱尔兰式的英俊外貌，赢得了 Bea 的心，两人于 1968. 年结婚。他们育有两个孩子，一女一子。

居住在弗吉尼亚州斯普林菲尔德的 Karin Emelia Tallis（原姓 Ekström）于 2026 年 8 月 12, 2026. 去世。她 1928 年 6 月 12, 1928, 出生于斯德哥尔摩，在久尔舍姆郊区长大，她的父亲曾任市工程师，母亲抚养她和她的兄弟们。Karin 过着充实而充满活力的生活，包括在瑞典海军服役；在斯德哥尔摩的美国大使馆担任行政助理；为 CIA 翻译瑞典语、德语和法语；在西欧议会最初的董事会中拥有席位；在华盛顿特区工作；并在国家技术信息服务局管理一个团队。

PATTERSON

2018 年，比尔被诊断出患有阿尔茨海默病。不出所有人所料，他超越了疾病，在最后的岁月里以勇气、善良、尊严——以及歌声——生活，“丹尼男孩”是他长久以来的最爱，也是他会唱给任何愿意倾听的人听的歌曲。比尔是一位优秀的丈夫、父亲，是孙辈们崇拜的“爷爷”，也是一位兄弟和朋友，受到所有人的尊敬和许多人的爱戴。他将被深深地怀念。

Karin 的追思会将于 11 月 23 日星期日下午 1:00 PM（1:00）在位于弗吉尼亚州斯普林菲尔德 Backlick 路 5800 号的圣马可路德教会举行，邮编 22150。

她的成长经历与大多数美国人的成长方式截然不同，但对于 20 世纪初在北欧长大的人来说却很典型。第二次世界大战期间，她在瑞典南部的一个经营农场度过夏天。她最珍贵的财产之一是一件艺术品，那是由一名在战争期间寄住在她家的芬兰年轻难民女孩走私出来的。Karin 在伦敦住了一个夏天以提高英语，在法国又住了一个夏天以提高法语。青少年时期，她与朋友们在挪威的海滩上露营，有一次住在德国人留下的建筑里（“因为，为什么不呢？”）。她每年冬天都会花一周时间进行越野滑雪。

斯坦·泰勒（STAN TELLER，Age 101） 斯坦·泰勒于 August 26, 2026, 在马里兰州罗克维尔去世，享年 101 岁。

卡琳的遗属包括她的女儿凯瑟琳·塔利斯（Katherine Tallis）和英格·佩蒂格罗夫（Inger Pettygrove），儿子汉斯·塔利斯（Hans Tallis）和卡尔·塔利斯（Carl Tallis），孙辈拉尔斯（Lars）、肯德尔（Kendall）、克里斯蒂安（Christian）、安妮卡（Annika）、尼古拉斯（Nicholas）、夏洛特（Charlotte）、本（Ben）和迪伦（Dylan），以及曾孙轴心（Axel）、阿特拉斯（Atlas）和古斯（Gus）。

只有一个装满橙子的背包。 在使馆工作期间，卡琳吸引了一名年轻美国人的注意，后者为了利用 GI 法案学习而搬到了瑞典。她与戴夫于 1955, 在哥本哈根结婚，并一直维持婚姻直到他去世。人们仍在讲述她于 1957 带着一岁大的女儿以及即将出生的另一个女儿搬到家乡密歇根州杰克逊市的故事。不久后，他们搬到了巴特尔克里克，在那里家庭又增加了两个儿子。 1966. 六个人全部挤进旅行车搬到了北弗吉尼亚州。卡琳尽可能频繁地回到她的祖国，并与许多朋友和家人保持联系。她与嫂子阿尔玛（Alma）关系尤为亲密，后者曾担任美国驻瑞典大使的秘书。在卡琳移民后，她们每周会进行一小时的通话。美国协会现在称之为“瑞英混合语”（Swenglish）。我们愿意相信她们现在正坐在一起，喝着咖啡，吃着一片太阳蛋糕（solskenskaka）聊天。

尽管经历过诸多旅行与见闻，但卡琳最大的乐趣是看着她的四个孩子长大。她如此彻底、自然且快乐地接纳了母亲这一角色。她找到了延续这种体验的方法，选择提前退休，成为三个大孙辈的主要照顾者。对他们来说，她是“Mormor”（瑞典语中指外祖母），而对另外五个孙辈来说，她是“Farmor”（指祖母）。卡琳将祖国的许多传统传递给了接下来的两代人，包括在清晨喝热可可、吃藏红花面包和姜饼（pepparkakor）的圣露西亚庆祝活动，并伴随着对传统歌曲的蹩脚演唱。为了延续另一个深受喜爱的传统，我们全部举起一杯阿夸维特酒（akavit）以纪念她。

获得了铜星勋章。他后来在纽约市创立并经营了一家名为 Alexander & Pamaro 的石版印刷公司。

TALLIS

在从军队退役后，雷迪安及其家人住在夏威夷州檀香山，他在那里成为了夏威夷州的 OSHA（职业安全与健康管理局）讲师，教授职业安全知识，并帮助预防职场伤害和执法处罚。2000年，他们搬到了华盛顿州波特卢德洛，在那里生活了 18 年多；2018年，他们搬到了弗吉尼亚州雷斯顿，以便离迈克尔和玛丽·洛更近。

贝蒂·蒂辛格就读于乔治敦访问预科学校和乔治敦访问初级学院。初级学院毕业后，她感到自己受到了乔治敦访问修道院宗教生活的召唤，并于 1952 年进入该修道院。

玛丽·菲洛梅娜·蒂辛格修女（原名伊丽莎白·“贝蒂”·安·蒂辛格），是约瑟夫和玛格丽特·蒂辛格之女，1932年8月18日出生于华盛顿特区。修女的父母、一名兄长和两名姐妹先于她去世。她的访问修女同僚以及许多深爱她的侄子和侄女在世。

在华盛顿特区的三一学院（三一华盛顿大学）攻读理学学士学位；几年后，她在美国天主教大学获得了理学硕士学位。修女对学习的热爱和科学好奇心塑造了她早年的传教生涯，她在乔治敦访问预科学校教授通用科学和生物学。菲洛梅娜修女是一位富有创造力的教师，她乐于与学生分享上帝创造世界的奇迹。

作为一名年轻的宗教人士，菲洛梅娜修女被召集担任访问会的领导职务；首先是在她自己的社区（从 1978-2008 年起每六年一次），随后在 1984-1996 年期间担任美国访问修道院第二联邦的领导者。这段领导时期共持续了 30 年。

2008年，在卸任乔治敦社区主管职务时，菲洛梅娜修女得知自己患有阿尔茨海默病。她深受此病之苦，在近 18 年的时间里，该病缓慢地限制了她的行动自由。在这一长期的身体受限期间，她从未表现出不耐烦或沮丧的迹象。菲洛梅娜修女阅读、引用并践行圣方济各·德·萨勒在《论爱神》第九章中的信息，那是她圣洁生活的指南——“接受上帝在我们的生活中展开的旨意”。

与当时进入政府服务的其他女性一样，康妮被要求参加打字测试。她未能通过测试，因此被分配到后勤部门。这看似一次挫折，却开启了一段卓越的职业生涯，使康妮在冷战期间走遍全球，包括西欧、东欧和东亚。

康妮在职业女性机会有限的时代建立了自己的事业。凭借非凡的职业道德、领导力以及建立合作伙伴关系的能力，她赢得了同事们的尊重，并指导了各个年龄段的女性。她向她的女儿们以及后辈女性证明，女性可以成为一名敬业的专业人士、一位慈爱的母亲、家庭的经济支柱以及一名高效的领导者。

1996年从第一段职业生涯退休后，康妮在1997年开启第二段职业篇章之前，通过旅行追求个人兴趣，其中包括在澳大利亚生活两年。她最终回到华盛顿地区，继续从事支持美国政府的工作，直到2014年最终退休。

康妮是一位信仰深厚且终身学习的女性，她从小参加主日学校并在教会唱诗班唱歌。在晚年，她坚持每天阅读圣经。她热爱园艺、音乐、旅行、美好的事物以及与家人团聚。

康妮的遗属包括她的女儿们：斯泰西·泰特斯（Stacie Titus）、考特尼·泰特斯（Courtney Titus）和詹妮弗·林克（Jennifer Link，原姓泰特斯）；女婿迈克尔·林克（Michael Link）；以及孙女凯瑟琳·林克（Kathryn Link）和艾弗里·林克（Avery Link）。

家属将于2026年9月4日（星期五）上午10点至11点在弗吉尼亚州赫恩登埃尔登街721号的亚当斯-格林殡仪馆（Adams-Green Funeral Home）接待亲友，随后于上午11点举行葬礼。安葬仪式将在弗吉尼亚州利斯堡北金街323号的联合公墓（Union Cemetery）举行。

家属邀请人们以捐款代替鲜花，以纪念康妮，捐款对象可选择：Easterseals、圣裘德儿童研究医院（St. Jude Children's Research Hospital）、无国界医生（Doctors Without Borders）、男孩镇（Boys Town）、伤员战士项目（Wounded Warrior Project）或隧道通向塔楼基金会（Tunnel to Towers Foundation）。她播种，她奉献，她坚韧，她信仰。

马里兰州

马里兰州加入其他各州，挑战联邦政府新的 Title X 资金规定

托德·卡波维奇 (TODD KARPOVICH) 《巴尔的摩太阳报》

巴尔的摩 —— 马里兰州正加入一项多州共同发起的诉讼，旨在阻止联邦政府针对 Title X 资金实施的新规定。这些规定可能会威胁到家庭计划诊所的资金，并限制人们获得生殖健康护理、癌症筛查以及负担得起的避孕药具。

州总检察长安东尼·G·布朗 (Anthony G. Brown) 与马萨诸塞州的同行共同领导了周四向马里兰区美国地方法院提交的这项诉讼，另有 21 个州的总检察长也参与其中。

诉讼称，美国卫生与公众服务部 (HHS) 在 7 月发布的这些新要求，将 Title X 的资金与执行一系列政府优先事项的合规情况挂钩。各州认为，这些条件可能会迫使医疗服务提供者改变其咨询患者和提供服务的方式，否则将面临失去联邦资金的风险。

Title X 是唯一一个专门用于家庭计划及相关预防性健康服务的联邦拨款计划。该计划已运行 50 年以上，支持避孕、癌症筛查、性传播感染检测与治疗、妊娠检测与咨询以及其他预防性护理。

美国卫生与公众服务部的官员将所有问题转交给白宫，目前暂未能联系到白宫以获取评论。

各州主张，新条件与联邦法律相冲突，并向接收 Title X 资金的医疗服务提供者强加了不恰当的政治要求。

他们请求法院阻止联邦政府执行这些要求，并根据该计划现有的规则保留资金。

该联盟表示，7 月的资金通知包含旨在消除多样性、公平性和包容性 (DEI) 实践的要求，且排斥或污名化跨性别者。各州还表示，该通知不鼓励使用避孕药具，而倾向于自然家庭计划，并要求诊所引导患者走向婚姻和为人父母，而非提供中立的、以患者为中心的指导。

该通知还包含一些无关的优先事项，例如“结束美国街道上的犯罪与混乱”。

该联盟认为，这些条件可能会给患者和服务提供者带来广泛的影响，尤其是那些服务于低收入社区的人员。

诉讼称，Title X 的规则要求提供者提供广泛的避孕方法，提供非指令性咨询，并以包容且非歧视的方式服务包括 LGBTQ+ 群体在内的患者。

各州还主张，卫生与公众服务部未能遵守《行政程序法》所要求的“通知与评论”程序。

该联盟进一步认为，这些要求过于模糊，导致提供者无法确定合规的具体要求，这违反了宪法对联邦政府在联邦资金中设定条件的限制。

诉讼称，一项类似的 Title X 政策曾导致全国近四分之一的计划受助者退出。

两年内，全国服务患者人数下降了 60% 以上，而包括纽约州在内的六个州失去了超过一半的 Title X 诊所。

纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯 (Letitia James) 在 2019 年领导了一场挑战这些限制的诉讼。拜登政府随后在最高法院对该案做出裁决前撤销了这些限制。

为什么翻译成为全球最大视频游戏中的热门辩论话题

作者：GENE PARK

迈克尔-克里斯托弗·小次郎·福克斯（Michael-Christopher Koji Fox）记得自己曾花大约一周的时间在两个词上纠结：Final Fantasy（最终幻想）。

当然，23 年来他一直关注着《最终幻想》。自该系列的第 11 部作品起，他一直担任其英文翻译，现在负责监督为英语使用者进行“本地化”的团队。但这次情况不同。他必须决定如何翻译《最终幻想 XVI》中一个出现在关键时刻、且可能显得尴尬的标题揭露。在日语原版中，主角在临别的一句台词中向反派说出了该系列的名称。

“我知道这很俗气，”福克斯在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时笑着说，“我无法想象有人能一本正经地说出那样的话。”

但福克斯希望保留这种幽默感。因此，他和他的团队在这一周内尝试了多种替代方案，这是他记忆中在单个短语上花费时间最长的一次。最终，他们选定了一个既能向观众示意，又没有完全打破“第四面墙”的句子。

“我们做的不是学术翻译，而是娱乐翻译，”在日本生活了 30 年的福克斯说，“你可以把词语传达出去，但如果你没有把信息传达出去，那么这就不是一次成功的本地化。”

关于什么是“好的”翻译，人们比以往任何时候都更加关注。根据 Netflix 的数据，过去几年中，非英语剧集占该平台观看量的三分之一以上。这家流媒体巨头提到，其最受欢迎的作品来自韩国、日本、西班牙、印度和南非。

日本动画曾在其本土之外是一个相对小众的兴趣，如今已成为一种全球现象。日本动画协会估计，2024 年广义的动画市场规模将达到 3.8 万亿日元，其中海外市场的规模已超过日本国内观众。

几十年来，尤其是动画迷们一直在争论“字幕版还是配音版”，通常认为日语对话的字幕版比英语配音版更真实。社交媒体允许精通多种语言的粉丝逐行对比剧本，而在线社区经常因为本地化人员是否改变了原意、插入了当代俚语或政治观点，或者在其他方面背离了原著意图而引发激烈争论。

福克斯并不介意这种审视。他在 20 岁时移居日本，他的 [翻译请见 E10]

埃尔维斯·普雷斯利、鲍勃·迪伦和 iPhone 是我们名单中最常被提及的遗漏项

作者：卡拉·斯帕托斯 (CARLA SPARTOS)

考虑到我们在项目启动时给自己设定的诸多限制，《华盛顿邮报》这份“25部最具影响力的美国文化作品”名单注定无法成为一次完整的调研：自建国以来，每10年仅选择一部作品，且每十年的候补名单不得超过五部。¶ 读者们想知道：像越南战争阵亡将士纪念碑这样的美国纪念碑在哪里？弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特（Frank Lloyd Wright）的建筑及其设计创新又在何处？像马丁·路德·金（Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.）这样伟大的演说家在哪里？更不用说那些让现代美国生活成为可能的科学和技术突破了。¶ 20世纪的竞争变得尤为激烈——无论是因为近因偏差、社会动荡还是大众媒体的涌入。这无疑是引发读者争论最多的一个世纪。¶ 该名单中最近的几个十年同样充满争议，且极难推断：iPod 最终是否为 iPhone 奠定了基础？AI 生成的艺术是否应该被纳入？在局势瞬息万变的今天，判定什么具有影响力是否还为时过早？¶ 在征求公众反馈后，我们收到了数百项提名。我们阅读了每一条，并很高兴地看到读者们对该项目的热情与深思。以下是未入选前25名名单中被提及最频繁的一些作品，以及我们最喜欢的部分回复摘录。详见 E6 页文化名单。

中期选举季政治著作遇冷，读者更青睐虚构类作品

作者：希莱尔·伊塔利（HILLEL ITALIE） 美联社

今年秋天，中期选举的新闻将占据头条，但在购书者中，虚构类作品可能会成为主角。前总统乔·拜登的《承诺我，美国》（Promise Me, America）不仅是一部白宫回忆录——总统回忆录本身就是重大事件——而且是未来几个月中罕见的高关注度政治书籍。近年来，非虚构类书籍的销量有所下滑，政治类书籍也未能达到唐纳德·特朗普总统第一任期时的巅峰。

“政治书籍的活力似乎有所减弱。我认为人们已经听腻了那些激烈的言论，”追踪零售图书销售的 Circana 公司分析师兼客户洞察副总裁克里斯汀·麦克林（Kristen McLean）表示。

“我认为（新闻）周期运行得太快，导致许多针对性极强的政治书籍难以引起共鸣，”巴诺书店（Barnes & Noble）图书高级总监香农·德维托（Shannon DeVito）说道。

迈克尔·刘易斯（Michael Lewis）的《阻碍者》（Blockers）通过政府工作人员的视角对特朗普的第二任期进行了调查，这可能是唯一一部能与玛吉·哈伯曼（Maggie Haberman）和乔纳森·斯旺（Jonathan Swan）的夏季畅销书《政权更迭》（Regime Change）影响力相匹敌的新作。除此之外，今年秋天值得关注的政治著作大多在回顾拜登时代，从《承诺我，美国》，到前中东特使布雷特·麦格克（Brett McGurk）的《边缘：解救 10 月 7 日人质之赛内幕》（Brink: Inside the Race to Free the Oct. 7 Hostages），以及阿克巴尔·沙希德·艾哈迈德（Akbar Shahid Ahmed）对拜登加沙战争政策的研究《跨越红线》（Crossing the Red Line）。

即使是几十年来一直发布在任总统及时揭秘报道的鲍勃·伍德沃德（Bob Woodward），这次也避开了当前的政治。在《秘密：一名记者的回忆录》（Secrets: A Reporter’s Memoir）中，他回顾了从尼克松政府以及让他成名的水门事件起的所有总统和白宫消息源。

“因为他更多地在讲述自己的生活，我预计他的受众将比之前的书籍更广泛且多样，”德维托说。

虚构类作品的盛宴

创造历史

三年前共同获得普利策奖的小说家芭芭拉·金索尔弗（Barbara Kingsolver）和赫南·迪亚兹（Hernan Diaz），将在这个繁忙的季度中作为两位主打作者再次共享荣誉。金索尔弗的《组曲》（Partita）讲述了一位曾经的音乐神童再次被过去吸引的故事，这是她继普利策奖获奖作品、改编自查尔斯·狄更斯《大卫·科波菲尔》的《恶魔铜头》（Demon Copperhead）以来的首部作品。与此同时，迪亚兹在获得普利策奖的《信任》（Trust）之后，推出了反乌托邦且具有狄更斯风格的《层》（Ply），讲述了一个在混乱的未来社会中的年轻小偷的故事。

迪亚兹表示，他在普利策奖颁奖典礼上结识了金索尔弗，两人一起喝了波本威士忌，并就文学和其他共同兴趣建立了联系。

另一位受到诺兰电影启发的作家——《美国普罗米修斯》（American Prometheus，改编为电影《奥本海默》的传记）的合著者凯·伯德（Kai Bird）——合写了《美国无赖》（American Scoundrel），讲述了律师 / 政治操盘手 / 特朗普导师罗伊·科恩（Roy Cohn）的故事。在《冲刺》（The Rush）中，获奖作者纳撒尼尔·菲尔布里克（Nathaniel Philbrick）回顾了 19 世纪的淘金热。备受赞誉的科学作家詹姆斯·格莱克（James Gleick）在《电话：一部新历史》（The Telephone: A New History）中探讨了通信的演变。

“我不认为文学是一场比赛或一场网球锦标赛，”迪亚兹说，“我认为优秀书籍越多，对话就越丰富，读者的参与度也就越高。”

2026 年虚构类作品的销量一直很稳健，并且可能会保持高位，部分原因在于两位最著名的浪漫奇幻（romantasy）作家丽贝卡·亚罗斯（Rebecca Yarros）和萨拉·J·马斯（Sarah J. Maas）都有新书出版。马斯将发行《荆棘与玫瑰之庭》系列的第六卷《破碎和谐之庭》（A Court of Splintered Harmony），第七卷计划于明年年初出版。亚罗斯的《脱粒日》（Threshing Day）汇编了 13 个关于其“天空之城”（Empyrean）系列人物的故事，而她的独立作品《奇异之星》（Peculiar Stars）讲述了主角卡莉斯塔·莫兰（Callista Moran）在一次航海事故后被困在岛上的故事

蒂莫西·W·赖巴克（Timothy W. Ryback）的《53天》（53 Days）和维克多·塞贝斯蒂安（Victor Sebestyen）的《魏玛德国》（Weimar Germany）两本书探讨了20世纪30年代德国民主制度的崩溃；而其他警告当代威胁的新作则包括娜奥米·克莱恩（Naomi Klein）与阿斯特拉·泰勒（Astra Taylor）合著的《末世法西斯主义》（End Times Fascism），以及普利策奖得主吉尔·莱波尔（Jill Lepore）的《人造国家的兴衰》（The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State）。

公共广播电台主持人塞莱斯特·海德利（Celeste Headlee）的《自由之女》（Freedom’s Daughters）是今年秋季众多以种族和种族主义为中心的著作之一。Grandmaster Flash 与罗伯特·“Scoop”合作……

以及发现自己意想不到的一面。

新小说名单还包括诺贝尔奖得主约恩·福瑟（Jon Fosse）的最新作品《瓦伊姆酒店》（Vaim Hotel），以及三部布克奖竞争作品——马龙·詹姆斯（Marlon James）的《消失者》（The Disappearers）、艾玛·克莱恩（Emma Cline）的《斯威齐》（Switzy）和丽贝卡·佩里（Rebecca Perry）的《我们可以喂养国王吗》（May We Feed the King）。最容易引发八卦的书可能是蕾切尔·库斯克（Rachel Cusk）的《M的一生》（Life of M），这是一部关于一名电影明星的元小说，该角色可能（也可能没有）是以娜塔莉·波特曼（Natalie Portman）为原型。本季最令人期待的小说可能是查德·哈巴赫（Chad Harbach）的《亮度》（The Brightness）：该书讲述了两名20多岁的好友平行且交织的生活，是他自2011年广受好评的处女作《接球艺术》（The Art of Fielding）以来的首部小说。

李明金（Min Jin Lee）的《美国补习班》（American Hagwon）是她自2017年及其名作《帕金森》（Pachinko）以来的首部小说。艾米莉·圣约翰·曼德尔（Emily St. John Mandel）的《离场派对》（Exit Party）是由未来主义经典作品《第十一站》（Station Eleven）的作者创作的一篇关于未来崩溃的故事。李翊云（Yiyun Li）、埃德维格·丹蒂卡特（Edwidge Danticat）、凯特·阿特金森（Kate Atkinson）、迪莎·菲利亚（Deesha Philyaw）、戴安娜·威廉姆斯（Diane Williams）、拉莱·哈迪维（Laleh Khadivi）、匡宛会（R.F. Kuang）和诺拉·拉比纳（Norah Labiner）也将有小说出版。

斯蒂芬·金（Stephen King）（以及已故的彼得·斯特劳布 Peter Straub）的粉丝可以期待《除此之外的其他世界》（Other Worlds Than These），这是《护身符》（Talisman）系列的最后一部小说。爱丽丝·霍夫曼（Alice Hoffman）以《剑桥女巫》（The Witches of Cambridge）开启一个新系列，而布兰登·桑德森（Brandon Sanderson）与詹西·帕特森（Janci Patterson）合著的《枯萎之秋》（Blightfall）已经开篇。《法国幻象》（The French Illusion）是约翰·格里舍姆（John Grisham）最新的惊悚小说。S.A. 考斯比（S.A. Cosby）的《面对权力说真话》（Truth to Power）是一部漫威犯罪小说，主角是超级英雄兼侦探卢克·凯奇（Luke Cage）。

三位曾获奥斯卡奖的超级巨星将在今年秋天讲述他们的故事：西尔维斯特·史泰龙的《阶梯》（The Steps），书名参考了该演员在《洛奇》中标志性的向上奔跑场景；迈克尔·道格拉斯的《一次极速之旅》（One Helluva Ride），这位演员兼制片人称其是对关于名声的模糊传说的修正；以及达斯汀·霍夫曼的《看着我》（Look at Me），出版商 Simon Six 将其宣传为“一部关于艺术、野心、家庭、友谊、爱情、衰老以及创作生活之谜的私密回忆录”。

格洛丽亚·斯泰纳姆在《不平凡的一生》（An Unexpected Life）中回顾了她的早年岁月，前 NFL 四分卫科林·卡佩尼克在《危险的战斗》（The Perilous Fight）中反思了他的社会活动。查克·洛尔的《情景喜剧》（Sitcom）是由《两个半男人》和《生活大爆炸》的创作者撰写的一部回忆录。埃里克·丹的《我的日子之书》（My Book of Days）在这位《实习医生格蕾》明星死于 ALS（肌萎缩侧索硬化症）几个月后出版。

永恒的诗歌

得益于克里斯托弗·诺兰对《奥德赛》的改编，古诗词似乎再次焕发新生，这使得艾米莉·威尔逊和已故的罗伯特·伊格尔斯的版本在畅销书排行榜上名列前茅。威尔逊在今年秋天将出版一本新书《跨越酒色之海》（Crossing the Wine-Dark Sea），其中的散文涵盖了从希腊悲剧到对特洛伊的海伦进行“荡妇羞辱”，以及对 Cardi B 和 Megan Thee Stallion 的歌曲《WAP》中“狡黠笑声”的探讨。

在《云端奔跑者》（Cloud Runner）中，前美国桂冠诗人乔伊·哈乔试图表达她承认可能无法用语言表达的内容——三年前她女儿雷妮·奥尔蒂斯的去世：“我失去了我的女孩 / 有些事情不属于文字，”哈乔写道。詹妮弗·富兰克林在诗集《她脑中的火》（A Fire in Her Brain）中，通过文字传达了詹姆斯·乔伊斯那位才华横溢但命运多舛的女儿露西亚的心境。

莱莉·隆索尔、蒂娜·张、帕特里夏·洛克伍德、达莉亚·塔哈、艾维斯·布莱克伯德和 Hieu Minh Nguyen 也预计将推出新作。选集《其他遗产》（Other Legacies）收录了雷·阿曼特劳特、爱德华·赫希以及其他获奖者对雷切尔·洛登、朱莉娅·德·布尔戈斯和斯蒂芬·乔纳斯等较少为人知的诗人的致敬。

杰克逊探讨说唱和嘻哈历史的作品《一种文化的诞生》（Birth of a Culture），以及斯特凡妮·菲利普斯的音乐史著作《我们曾在此》（We Were Here），重点介绍了从罗塞塔·萨普姐妹到 Living Colour 乐队的艺术家。

普利策奖得主艾伦·泰勒的《塔丘》（Tower Hill）为 1831 年由被奴役的纳特·特纳领导的起义提供了全新的视角。在《文艺复兴之男》（Renaissance Men）中，哈丽埃特·A·华盛顿通过一部跨越 19 世纪中期到 20 世纪中期且在今天仍能引起共鸣的叙事，向三位具有开创性但被忽视的黑人医生致敬。

当朋友变成抱怨者，一名30多岁的女性发现自己是出于“义务”在社交

插画：NICK GALIFIANAKIS / 为《华盛顿邮报》绘制

卡罗琳·哈克斯 (Carolyn Hax)

亲爱的卡罗琳：我是一名30出头的女性，感觉自己与女性朋友之间的距离越来越远，而且不，这不仅仅是因为有些人有了孩子。

我现在更加注意到，我们的社交时间被用来比较生活，抱怨工作、体制、育儿、身材、饮食以及女性面临的其他障碍。我是一名女权主义者，完全理解这些系统性的不公正。但我也发现，自己在情感上越来越没有能力与朋友们共同承担这些；每次聚会结束，我的心情比开始时更低落。我需要集中精力：我经营自己的公司，在一个出了名地具有挑战性的行业中作为独立创业者维持运转，这已经足够让我精疲力竭了。

而且，在我目前的人生阶段，我对其他女性面临的很多问题根本无法产生共鸣。我已经解决了身材焦虑问题，饮食和运动是为了成长而非自我毁灭；我没有财务困难——虽然工作很辛苦，且在职业发展上还没达到我想要的高度，但我从根本上相信自己。

说这话可能让我显得有点[像个玻璃碗（自命不凡 / 脆弱）]，但我觉得我现在和朋友们在一起更多是出于义务，就像我母亲在耳边提醒我：“一定要交朋友。”

我不觉得承认这一点很丢脸：我也想念和朋友们一起寻找乐趣、一起大笑，而不是在早午餐会上坐在一起交换抱怨清单。我想念那些成年后极其罕见的、愚蠢、傻气且有趣的事情。

几周前，在一次与我男朋友大家族的烧烤聚会上，这种悲剧感深深地打击了我。我花了一整天时间坐在那里，被困在其中，听着一群无聊的中年人谈论他们无聊的生活。我真的不希望这成为我成年后的业余生活。

是的，我有发泄口——我重新开始了表演，我们有一组人可以靠演出赚钱，这太棒了。

希望能在这里得到关于如何度过未来几年的建议和看法。

我真的很想大幅减少花在他人身上的时间，但我也意识到，人在临终前的第一大遗憾就是没有与朋友保持联系。

—— 沮丧的女友

沮丧的女友：沉溺于委屈也不是我心中理想的消遣方式，而且我认为这也不是你母亲所希望的。（尽管，我是谁在开玩笑呢，如果我在那场烧烤会上，肯定能完美融入。）

尽管你提供了这么多细节，但我还是不明白为什么唯一的答案就是远离人群。为什么不让自己变得更有趣一点呢？

建议尝试其他类型的计划。微妙地引导对话方向。或者不那么微妙地引导对话：“啊，我太渴望乐趣了。有人一样吗？”展现出一些主动性。

你重新开始表演已经走在了这条路上，所以把这种“太棒了”的感觉当作一个信号：多做这类事情。

发挥创造力比 brunch-at-11, 需要投入更多的时间和精力，因此，这个想法听起来可能比问题本身更累——或者超出了你愿意投入的程度。此外，改变群体动态就像转向一艘油轮一样缓慢。

但为了获得幸福的长久关系，这种努力是值得的。而不是在义务性的麻木中度日。

先从一两个朋友、一两项活动开始，进行一些战略性的面对面交谈，告诉她们你最近觉得有些重要且相关、但却极其消磨灵魂的负面话题已经需要休息一下了。只要有一个朋友受到启发，就算取得了胜利。

至少尝试几个月。如果你对“乐趣投资”的回报不满意，那么远离人群——或者寻找你更喜欢的新朋友——这个选项依然在那里等着你。（大概这些新朋友也会向其他选项抱怨，那些糟糕的人怎么抢走了所有注意力。）

强制性的心理健康日让一名员工倍感压力

咨询埃里克 R. 埃里克 托马斯

亲爱的埃里克：我就职的公司每年都会鼓励员工休一天假，与同事共度，并将其标记为“心理健康日”。

对我来说，如果我们不在工作中花这么多时间在一起，这本没有问题。我每周与这些人共事 40 小时。我每天与他们在一起八小时，而与家人在一起的时间只有大约六小时。

我们都有家庭、孩子和其他责任。我喜欢我的同事，我们相处得很好，但我认为，原本我们可以用这一天时间陪伴各自的家人、打扫房屋，或者仅仅是远离工作享受一段心理放松的时间，而不是基本上在讨论工作，这样做有点过分了。

这样做反而让我压力更大。我喜欢我的同事，也喜欢在工作之余与他们共度时光。我们在夏天和周末会聚在一起吃几次午餐。

但我不喜欢这种被强制的感觉。你怎么看？

—— 对心理健康日感到压力的人

压力者：虽然你公司的意图可能是好的（或者中立的），但这在我看来并不像是一个心理健康日，而更像是强制性的团队建设。其目标可能是为了让员工队伍运作得更好。但如果没有针对心理健康的具体重点——例如关于冥想的研讨会或关于职场压力的反馈会议——那么这种意图往好里说会变得模糊，往坏里说则会完全失效。

为了你自己的心理健康，用另一种方式思考这些日子可能会有所帮助。假设这些日子是你通常需要工作的日子，而不是周末或其他假期，尽量不要把它们看作是从家人或个人生活中抢走的时间。这只会导致怨恨。如果有人负责这项工作，你可以与他们谈谈其意图，看看他们是否愿意接受反馈。

现在，如果这些日子实际上占用的是你的个人时间，那就是另一回事了。在这种情况下，你可以询问这是否被视为工作要求，如果是，公司可以提供什么样的补偿，以弥补要求你投入的额外时间。根据你的雇佣结构和合同，这可能起作用也可能不起作用，但值得进行一次对话。

亲爱的埃里克：我是一名 59 岁的女性，没有孩子。我从未结婚，也没有兄弟姐妹。我有一些需要就医的疾病。我的父母在很多年前就去世了。

我想问你的是：当我不再能够照顾自己时，谁会陪在我身边？

我没有好朋友。我在 20 多岁时的朋友并不像我想象中那么美好。我们都分道扬镳了。我发现我是被排除在圈子之外的两个人之一。在我 35 岁时，我的母亲陷入了一些麻烦。那些朋友像扔掉烫手山芋一样抛弃了我。

我知道通过社交媒体，他们现在依然在分享彼此的生活。

我以前太忙于享乐，而现在不再有趣了。我担心自己最终会进入养老院。这让我感到恐惧和沮丧。你有什么建议吗？ —— 不想孤独终老的人

孤独者：虽然我承认并理解你所处的情况令人恐惧，但我鼓励你将眼前的道路视为一个部分的新开始。你的生活不再像以前那样，但你的生活还没有结束。

你目前缺乏的是与他人有意义的联系。你可能无法以年轻时相同的方式或结构找到这种联系，但这是可能的。社交团体、宗教组织、社区中心和支持小组都可以为你提供联系和支持。请记住，深厚的友谊需要时间和精力，所以如果你没有立即找到所寻求的联系，请不要气馁。

根据您的医疗需求，您还可以与医生、社会工作者、财务规划师或老年生活管理师讨论如何为未来做好准备。例如，您可能会对在未来十年内搬到老年社区感兴趣，那里可以提供社交支持、必要的医疗护理以及社区氛围。如果老年生活社区超出了您的经济能力，与他人讨论您的目标和担忧可能会为您指明符合您需求的选项，并帮助您对未来感到更加安心。

Alabama Shakes 是摇滚乐的世代之桥

依然充满创作动力，这支重组的乐队在新的长篇专辑中变得更加放克且焦虑

作者：MIKAEL WOOD 洛杉矶时报

Alabama Shakes 第一次来到洛杉矶时，布里塔尼·霍华德（Brittany Howard）买了一块长板。那是 2010 年代初期，这支充满激情的灵魂摇滚乐队正开始从美国深南地区的一个小镇，向格莱美奖和白宫的高规格演出攀升；即便在当时，该团体在舞台上产生的能量就如此之强，以至于霍华德发现演出结束后需要一个出口来“稍微冷静下来”，正如这位歌手兼吉他手现在所说的那样。

她现在还滑板吗？

“不，”她笑着说，“年纪大了一点——不想摔倒把东西摔断。”

骨头感觉变脆了？

“骨头感觉很强壮，”她回答道，“我只是不想去测试它们。”

在最初那次访问十五年后，霍华德和她的 Shakes 队友——吉他手希斯·福格（Heath Fogg）和贝斯手扎克·科克雷尔（Zac Cockrell）——在最近的一个下午回到了洛杉矶。他们聚集在西好莱坞的一间酒店套房里，讨论他们现已发行的全新专辑《I Must Be Dreaming》。这是该乐队在经历了七年休整并在 2024 年三人重新集结后的第一张长篇专辑。在休整期间，霍华德开启了广受赞誉的个人职业生涯，包括与 Bon Iver 以及奥斯卡获奖电影作曲家路德维格·戈兰松（Ludwig Göransson）的合作。2018 年导致 Shakes 分解的原因并不剧烈，他们的回归也没有伴随太多的喧嚣（除了他们决定不邀请鼓手史蒂夫·约翰逊回归，这一点我们稍后会提到）。

当被问到哪个词最能描述乐队的重组时，霍华德说：“我不确定是不是‘回归’。”她问福格和科克雷尔：“你们怎么想？”两人都以安静的耸肩作为回应。

然而，《I Must Be Dreaming》揭示了一个依然充满创作动力的团体。音乐探讨了爱情、自然以及处于危机中的社会，将 Shakes 的根源音乐风格向放克且出人意料的方向扩展；这张唱片感觉像是我们这个更黑暗、更焦虑时代的产物，而非一支最后一张专辑发行于奥巴马 era, 末期的乐队的怀旧之作。它还将所有处于 30 岁后期或 40 岁初期的 Shakes 成员，塑造成为一种世代之桥，连接着像 Radiohead 和 Wilco 这样具有影响力的 X 世代团体，以及像 Geese 和 Wednesday 这样富有冒险精神的 Z 世代新秀。

在阴郁的《American Dream》中，霍华德在科克雷尔潜行的贝斯线之上唱道：“我以为我们想要同样的东西”，随后歌曲列举了一些预想中的理想——和平、幸福、机遇、自由——然后霍华德自我否定道：“我一定是在做梦。”在《Another Life》中，当霍华德沉思一段破碎关系带来的宇宙级影响时，福格的吉他颤抖并发出叮当声；在《Tea Time》中，这位以强力唱腔著称的歌手在一种令人不安且不协调的节拍中探索她更细腻的假声，这种节拍让人想起已故的 J Dilla 的音乐。

苏珊·特德斯基（Susan Tedeschi）是另一位强力唱将，她的 Tedeschi Trucks Band 本月与 Alabama Shakes 共同领衔了几场演出。她说霍华德“绝对创造了自己的风格”，她认为这种风格在摇滚乐之外产生了共鸣，为像奥利维亚·迪恩（Olivia Dean）这样的年轻灵魂歌手开辟了道路。

“她不害怕谈论作为混血儿成长的经历，或者作为一名女同性恋者成长的经历，”特德斯基补充道，“做这些事情需要勇气，尤其是现在。”

霍华德在阿拉巴马州雅典市的农村长大，在那里钓鱼并写诗。她于 2009 年与高中同学科克雷尔共同组建了 Alabama Shakes；当时，这位歌手必须根据她作为邮递员的工作时间来安排乐队练习。该团体 2012 年的处女作《Boys & Girls》被拿来与蒂娜·特纳（Tina Turner）和珍妮丝·乔普林（Janis Joplin）相比较，并为 Shakes 赢得了格莱美最佳新人奖的提名；杰克·怀特（Jack White）曾邀请他们作为开场嘉宾参加巡演，而巴拉克·奥巴马总统则邀请该乐队参加一场向孟菲斯灵魂乐致敬的全明星演出。

2015年发行的《Sound & Color》在艺术风格上更进一步，并取得了更大的成功，登顶公告牌（Billboard）专辑榜并斩获三项格莱美奖。在当年芝加哥举行的 Lollapalooza 音乐节上，保罗·麦卡特尼（Paul McCartney）这位仰慕者邀请了霍华德登上舞台，协助他演唱披头士乐队的《Get Back》。然而，在又进行了几年的巡演后，乐队解散了，主要是为了让霍华德能够追求个人事业。

但到了2024年底——在她发行了部分灵感源自离婚的专辑《What Now》后不久——这位歌手开始重新考虑阿拉巴马摇滚乐队（Alabama Shakes）。因此，当图斯卡卢萨的一位朋友邀请她在那个12月参加一场慈善演唱会时，她利用这个机会联系了福格（Fogg）和考克雷尔（Cockrell）。

“我当时就像是在说：‘你们想去那里唱几首歌吗？’”霍华德回忆道，“而他们的反应是：‘当然想。’”

温文尔雅的考克雷尔在谈到那场演出时说：“现场气氛非常热烈。”

在乐队休整期间，成员们略有分散：福格在阿拉巴马州北部，考克雷尔在纳什维尔，而霍华德则住在这座乡村音乐之都的郊外。这两位田纳西州居民都承认，他们对纳什维尔光鲜亮丽的下百老汇（Lower Broadway）区没什么兴趣，那里游客在一家接一家由知名乡村明星开的酒吧之间踉踉跄跄地穿梭。

如果被迫选择，他们会去谁的店？

“最空的那家，”霍华德回答道，“谁的生意最差，我就去谁那儿。”

布里塔尼·霍华德（Brittany Howard）于7月7日在意大利卢卡演出。阿拉巴马摇滚乐队的新专辑《I Must Be Dreaming》将他们根源音乐的风格推向了意想不到的方向，使其成为了连接像 Radiohead 和 Wilco 这样具有影响力的 X 世代团体，与像 Geese 和 Wednesday 这样富有冒险精神的 Z 世代新秀之间的纽带。

ISLAND RECORDS

由于在图斯卡卢萨的演出反响热烈，阿拉巴马摇滚乐队预订了一场漫长的巡演，停靠站包括好莱坞碗（Hollywood Bowl）和纽约的森林山体育场（Forest Hills Stadium）。在发行《What Now》后与该乐队签约的 Island Records 共同首席执行官贾斯汀·埃沙克（Justin Eshak）表示，与重启后的乐队合作是一个无需思考的决定。

“很多在阿拉巴马摇滚乐队成名时期推出的作品，在我看来带有强烈的时代感，”埃沙克说，“而布里塔尼和这支乐队则像是存在于他们自己的宇宙中。”

然而，这次重组没有创始鼓手约翰逊（Johnson）的参与。约翰逊在2020年承认违反了家庭暴力保护令，并于2021年因涉嫌虐待儿童被捕。这些指控后来被撤销——约翰逊的律师称其源于一次“打屁股事件”——但根据约翰逊去年在 Facebook 上发布的一系列视频（由 AL.com 报道），阿拉巴马摇滚乐队在他被捕前后要求其辞职。

霍华德表示，在乐队处于非活跃状态期间，“我们决定不再与史蒂夫（Steve）一起前行。所以当我们重新聚在一起时，他并不在考虑范围内。”

当被问及约翰逊的法律问题是否让他们对乐队的历史产生了不同的看法时，三位成员陷入了短暂的沉默。

“关于史蒂夫，他的生活中有很多事情已经公开了，”福格说，“有些是真的，有些不是——他在法庭上已被证明某些指控是清白的，但这没有被公开。我认为我们与史蒂夫之间因为过去共同经历的事情而产生了一种纽带，我想我们都关心史蒂夫，希望他快乐健康。”

在迎来新鼓手诺亚·邦德（Noah Bond）后，阿拉巴马摇滚乐队在纳什维尔与制作人肖恩·埃弗里特（Shawn Everett）共同录制了《I Must Be Dreaming》。埃弗里特曾与霍华德合作其个人专辑，并与阿黛尔（Adele）和麦莉·赛勒斯（Miley Cyrus）等众多艺人合作过录音室作品。

霍华德说，确定她想在新歌中探讨的主题花了一些时间。

“这有点像是我必须去挖掘内心正在酝酿的东西，因为我的一部分在观察这个世界时感到有些封闭，任何人都会如此，”她说。“必须重新敞开心扉并面对自己的感受，这确实是一次深刻的体验。”

FRANCESCO PRANDONI / GETTY IMAGES

她为《美国梦》（American Dream）创作的歌词灵感来自 Cockrell 发给她的一首曲子，用她的话说，那曲子感觉“黏稠且难以涉足”，这让她想到了对环境的担忧——而此时，唐纳德·特朗普总统正在削减有关气候和能源的监管条例。（这首歌在歌词中点名提到了美国环境保护局以及一座“漂亮且奢华”的白宫。）

“我们与政府之间本应有一种社会契约，而我觉得他们违背了这种社会契约，”

霍华德说。“然后我们还得继续假装身在世外桃源，假装一切都会好起来。我觉得这根本不现实。”

这些疑虑体现在《我一定是在做梦》（I Must Be Dreaming）中乐队手工打造的音色那略显粗糙的边缘里——在人工智能迅速渗透到音乐及所有其他创意领域的当下，这种处理方式反而令人欣慰。

福格承认他对这项新技术“非常消极”，他认为有些音乐人正试图通过 Suno 和 Udio 等平台生成的歌曲来进行逆向工程。“我的观点是：当你使用生成式 AI 来构思创意时，人们会忘记哪些创意是自己的，哪些是计算机的，”他说。“这是一个非常危险的滑坡。”

“我前几天买了一部新 iPhone，”霍华德插话道，“它有一个功能，可以阅读我的短信然后替我回复。这他妈的是干什么用的？真的有人用这个吗？”她摇了摇头。

“显然，我不希望有无数个数据中心在污染地球，”她说。“但同时我也在想：如果艺术是可以被直接生成的东西，那么艺术究竟是什么？”

随着新专辑即将发行，乐队在巡演中将进一步强化这些人性特质，包括 9 月下旬在达纳角举行的埃迪·韦德年度 Ohana 音乐节上的演出。然而，除了已经排期或在筹备中的演出日期，他们并不太确定重新启动的阿拉巴马摇滚乐队（Alabama Shakes）未来会走向何方。

“我们还没有真正讨论过这个问题，”霍华德说。“我想我们会在时机成熟时再进行这次对话。”

那么，他们是否至少希望在机器人接管一切之前，能实现自己的目标？

“天呐，我绝对成不了一个合格的机器人仆人，”霍华德说。“除了这个（音乐），我什么都不会。机器人不吃鱼，所以我没法为它们钓鱼，你懂我的意思吧？我完蛋了。”

Kiss 乐队当时并未意识到这场体育场演出将成为关键转折点

1977年的 Kiss 乐队，从右起顺时针方向依次为：吉恩·西蒙斯（Gene Simmons）、艾斯·弗雷利（Ace Frehley）、彼得·克里斯（Peter Criss）和保罗·斯坦利（Paul Stanley）。该乐队 1976 年 8 月在加利福尼亚州安纳海姆的演出是其迄今为止规模最大的一次，共有 42,000 名粉丝挤满了安纳海姆体育场。但西蒙斯表示，在当时，他们并没有真正意识到这场演出的重要程度。 RICHARD DREW / AP

50 年来首次，粉丝们可以聆听该乐队在加利福尼亚州那场具有里程碑意义的演唱会

作者：查理·瓦加斯（CHARLIE VARGAS） 发自加利福尼亚州安纳海姆 《橙县登记报》（Orange County Register）

在 Kiss 乐队被 入选 入摇滚名人堂，并凭借标志性的舞台表现力在这一音乐流派中成名之前，只要有地方愿意邀请，他们哪里都演。

“我们每个人每周赚 $75，”以恶魔妆容和超长舌头著称的贝斯手吉恩·西蒙斯说道。“在大约一年半的时间里，我们发现自己成为了安纳海姆体育场的领衔演出嘉宾。当你处于飓风之眼中心时，周围所有盘旋的风几乎都被忽略了。”

西蒙斯所指的“风暴之眼”是 Kiss 乐队的“76年精神”（Spirit of '76）巡演，也被称为“毁灭者”（Destroyer）巡演。西蒙斯记得这次巡演极其辛苦，在不同场次的演出之间，他们得乘坐旅行车行驶 10 小时，每位乐队成员都试图在车上补觉。

1976 年 8 月 20, 1976, 前往安纳海姆演出的旅程感觉并没有什么特别之处，但它后来成为了这支演唱《Rock and Roll All Nite》的乐队的一个重要里程碑。当时，乐队直到快到达目的地时才意识到交通拥堵是因为大家都前往同一个地方。在挤过粉丝群后，乐队到达现场时仅剩下足够的时间化好妆，听几首开场嘉宾的歌曲，然后登台。

那晚，安纳海姆体育场容纳了超过 42,000 名粉丝，这是该乐队迄今为止见过的最大规模观众群。西蒙斯说，考虑到乐队几年前的情况——大多在较小的场馆面对较少的观众演出——在那个时刻，他并没有真正意识到这件事有多么重大。

“这里有一个满座的体育场粉丝，而这一切似乎真的在一夜之间发生了，这毫无道理，”西蒙斯说。“我们没有热门单曲，在电视或媒体上的报道也寥寥无几。这纯粹是一种口碑传播。在最初的几年里，我们作为现场乐队的影响力显然比作为唱片销售者的影响力要大得多。”

为了纪念安纳海姆演出的 50 周年，乐队发行了《Kiss Destroys Anaheim ’76》，这是由标志性摇滚制作人和工程师埃迪·克雷默（Eddie Kramer）利用原始多轨磁带重新混音的演唱会版本。此次发行标志着这场历史性的 76 年演出首次正式向公众开放。

新专辑还附带一本 60 页的书册，其中包含肯·夏普（Ken Sharp）撰写的详尽内页注释、未公开的照片以及纪念品图像。夏普是一位作者兼音乐记者，他共同撰写了该乐队的官方授权传记《Kiss: Behind the Mask》。

“我们当时并不知道这场演出会被现场录制，但我们假设有人会录，”西蒙斯说。“它最初并非打算作为现场专辑发行，但管理层拍摄并录制了它，因为这是我们第一次在体育场演出。如果你在演出发生时还太小尚未出生，现在你可以通过录音回到现场，因为观众与演出本身一样，都是其中的一部分。”

西蒙斯回忆起摇滚双人组 Flo & Eddie 在那晚为他们做介绍了，但他记忆最深刻的是舞台制作中巨大的烟雾效果。当西蒙斯穿着他那 7 英寸高的龙靴走下 20 多级台阶时，他摔了一跤。

“如果你看视频，能听到一点贝斯失误的声音，因为我穿着靴子走下楼梯，但神奇的是我的贝斯没有跑调，所以我们像没发生过一样继续演了，”他说。

西蒙斯和Kiss乐队吉他手保罗·斯坦利还在8月15日于体育场为天使队比赛投了开球。这次里程碑式的庆祝活动在安纳海姆体育场举行了一场完整的Kiss主题接管之夜，充满了各种互动活动、周边商品、音乐等。

当被问及在棒球比赛中是否会对投球做准备时，西蒙斯表示准备工作不是他的风格。

“我不做准备，”他说。“我从未给嗓子热过身。我不练习。我什么都不做。这叫基因。这并不意味着我比你们更好或更聪明。这只意味着对我有效的方法就有效。去谷歌或YouTube搜索‘Gene Simmons throws out the ball at Dodger Stadium’（吉恩·西蒙斯在道奇体育场投球）。那场面很壮观，而且弧线相当不错。我不知道为什么我能做到，这纯粹是手眼协调能力。”

西蒙斯表示，Kiss的粉丝们还将迎来其他一些项目，包括一部接近选角阶段的乐队电影、一部动画剧集、漫画，以及即将拉斯维加斯举行的Kiss巡航活动（Kiss Kruise）。

“Kiss巡航：内陆拉斯维加斯站”（The Kiss Kruise: Land-locked in Vegas）将于11月13-15日在拉斯维加斯维珍酒店举行。该活动将包括成员亮相、专属活动，以及两场不戴面具的Kiss演出（一场原声，一场电声），此外还将举办一场艾斯·弗雷利全明星致敬活动，届时西蒙斯、斯坦利、汤米·泰耶和埃里克·辛格将与特邀艺术家共同出席，以纪念弗雷利对乐队以及摇滚乐产生的深远影响。

“即将向人们呈现的Kiss相关内容比他们想象的要多得多，”西蒙斯说。“这绝对会让你们大吃一惊。”

从斯坦贝克到《星际迷航》，读者认为我们遗漏了什么

文化清单（来自 E1）

文学

几位读者认为，入围名单中的哈丽埃特·比彻·斯托的《汤姆叔叔的小屋》应该被选在赫尔曼·梅尔维尔的《白鲸》之前，因为该书在催化废奴运动中发挥了作用。其他被频繁提及的文学作品包括：

《草叶集》，沃尔特·惠特曼，1855

“这不仅是对美国以及……土地自然馈赠的感官审视，而且……也是一部关于我们国家分裂与重组的编年史。作为一部自出版且不断迭代的作品，它还证明了美国是一个充满进取心和自我重塑之地。最后，很明显，《草叶集》影响了 20 世纪中后期的作家，如 [菲利普]·罗斯和 [约翰]·厄普代克，以及我们一些最伟大的词曲作者，最显著的是布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀——尽管卡罗尔·金、鲍勃·迪伦和保罗·西蒙显然也从中汲取了灵感。”

《愤怒的葡萄》， 约翰·斯坦贝克，1939

“《愤怒的葡萄》准确地描绘了企业贪婪及其对政府政策的影响，以及这种影响如何作用于那些生产产品的底层民众。这在今天尤为具有现实意义。”

《杀死一只知更鸟》，哈珀·李，1960

“讲述了人类的同情心与残酷；讲述了美国及美国南部的种族偏见；讲述了因‘不同’而因此被排挤的‘罪孽’；讲述了孩子们对世间邪恶的觉醒。”

美国国会图书馆

顶排（从左至右）：1959 年的迈尔斯·戴维斯；2007 年超级碗上的普林斯；1986 年的雷蒙斯乐队。《Kind of Blue》、《Purple Rain》和《Ramones》是读者提及的专辑。

中间：纽约大都会歌剧院上演的《波吉与贝丝》。

上方：约翰·斯坦贝克 1939 年创作的以大萧条时期为背景的小说《愤怒的葡萄》。

音乐

鲍勃·迪伦和埃尔维斯·普雷斯利是迄今为止被提及最多的遗漏者，但读者很难从这两位艺术家的作品中挑选出单一的一部来展示。尽管如此，分别有《Blowin' in the Wind》和《Hound Dog》被提及。

同样，读者赞美了 Motown 的音乐风格，但没有指出具体作品。（我们此前将 Motown 艺术家史蒂夫·汪达 1980 年的《Happy Birthday》列入了入围名单——该曲是该艺术家争取将马丁·路德·金牧师的纪念日定为国家法定假日运动的一部分。）

读者强烈认为爵士乐被轻视了，尽管路易斯·阿姆斯特朗入围了，且杜克·埃灵顿等艺术家在 Elahe Izadi 关于哈莱姆文艺复兴的论文中被提及。迈尔斯·戴维斯 1959 年的专辑《Kind of Blue》因其深远的影响而被最频繁地提及，而约翰·柯川 1965 年的专辑《A Love Supreme》也被注意到。

根据读者的说法，古典音乐是另一个盲点。他们点名提到了查尔斯·艾夫斯打破常规的作品《新英格兰三个地方》，以及由玛莎·格雷厄姆编舞、亚伦·科普兰作曲（后将其改编为管弦乐作品）的芭蕾舞剧《阿巴拉契亚之春》中强有力的田园主义和革命运动。

以下是一些其他令读者动容的缺失音乐作品：

《波吉与贝丝》，乔治·格什温。

伊拉·格什温与杜博斯·海沃德，1935

这是第一部，且可以说也是唯一一部成为艺术经典且在商业上获得成功的美国歌剧（斯蒂芬·桑德海姆的《理发师陶德》可被视为第二部）。该剧由全黑人演员出演，聚焦于南卡罗来纳州一个名为“鲶鱼行”的贫困社区的生活及其面临的困境：身体残疾、贫困、药物成瘾、性侵犯，但同时也展现了爱的变革力量。一部美国歌剧？绝对的首创！配乐华丽且永恒。这是一个令人心碎的故事，它提升并赋予了一个贫困黑人社区尊严；该剧创作于1935年，而在此之前的黑人形象不过是旨在娱乐白人观众的“Step N Fetch It”和“妈咪”这类单一维度的角色。绝对具有开创性！

《土豆头布鲁斯》，路易斯·阿姆斯特朗及其热七重奏，1927

路易斯·阿姆斯特朗的摇摆风格小号和演唱永远改变了美国音乐，他理应占据前25名的席位。他的巨大影响力被严重低估了。当你聆听《土豆头布鲁斯》时，它听起来如此现代，因为这种风格被后来的美国伟大艺术家们一次又一次地模仿，如杜克·埃灵顿、本尼·古德曼、比莉·假日、弗兰克·辛纳屈、艾拉·费兹洁拉、史蒂夫·汪达、斯莱·斯图尔特、迈克尔·杰克逊、碧昂丝，以及每一位追随阿姆斯特朗的有影响力的音乐家。聆听他的作品并试着想象，在1920年代，他的摇摆风格是全新的、开创性的，此前从未被听闻！阿姆斯特朗的《西端布鲁斯》（[1928年]）并非仅仅是“荣誉提名”。它是美国乃至世界大部分地区自该曲问世以来所创作的最优秀音乐的基石。

《答案在风中飘荡》，鲍勃·迪伦，1963

“这是一首标志性的抗议歌曲，起到了刺激反越战抗议的作用。你遗漏了那场战争以及它在音乐领域引发的极其广泛的反弹。迪伦的这首歌以及其他作品，如《一场大雨将落下》和《战争之主》，引领了方向。”

《你体验过吗》，吉米·亨德里克斯，1967

“亨德里克斯利用反馈音以及在声音和歌词创作上的无限想象力，创造了一种新的艺术形式，影响了之后每一位吉他手，助力了重金属音乐的诞生，并让迈尔斯·戴维斯和布莱恩·伊诺这样的人重新思考音乐的本质。”

《Ramones》，雷蒙斯乐队，1976

“大多数人认同这张专辑是第一张真正的朋克专辑（在此之前的一切都是‘原朋克’）。这张专辑不仅启发了性手枪、冲突乐队以及其他重要的朋克、新浪潮和后朋克乐队，而且由于它对DIY精神的拥抱，代表了自爵士乐以来流行音乐中最重要的革命。一个人不需要成为音乐大师才能演奏音乐；不需要掌握超过几个和弦就能写歌；不需要尖端的录音室技术就能录制专辑；一个人只需要一条破牛仔裤、一件旧皮夹克和一双破旧的匡威鞋就能组建乐队。一切都被简化，回归基础。这既是一场美学革命，也是一场音乐革命，它以一种如今已与我们的日常生活紧密交织的方式，改变了美国及海外的文化。”

《紫色雨》，普林斯，1984

“它不仅对音乐产生了影响且是一张极佳的专辑，而且它……招致了蒂珀·戈尔的愤怒，并促成了PMRC（父母音乐资源中心）的成立，这直接导致了专辑上出现家长警告标签。当沃尔玛等商店拒绝上架相关专辑时，该警告标签影响了许多音乐家的销量；它还产生了‘禁果效应’，推动了帮派说唱以及最终促成了Eminem的出现。”

《这就是美国》（This Is America），Childish Gambino，2018年

“关于最后一项，我完全同意选择《柠檬水》（Lemonade），但你应该用[唐纳德·格洛弗的音乐分身]Childish Gambino 的力作《这就是美国》来替换[格洛弗的]《亚特兰大》（Atlanta）。我教授一门名为‘音乐与美国历史’的12年级选修课——我们会花整整一节课来分析这部音乐视频中的典故和彩蛋，每次都能让学生们感到震撼。”

电影与电视

《绿野仙踪》、《星球大战》和《星际迷航》曾进入我们的入围名单，但读者认为它们应该进入前25名。

我们名单中另外两项较近期的条目——《黑客帝国》和《跟上卡戴珊》，引发了特别激烈的争议，许多人质疑其艺术价值。

以下是读者推荐的其他电视剧和电影：

《乱世佳人》（Gone With the Wind）， 维克多·弗莱明（Victor Fleming），1939年

“这本书在数十年间一直是畅销书，而这部电影至今仍是售票量最高的电影。是的，它存在一些问题，但它让黑人女演员哈蒂·麦克丹尼尔（Hattie McDaniel）首次获得了奥斯卡奖，她曾说，她宁愿扮演女佣每周赚750美元，也不愿真的当女佣每周赚7美元。”

《我爱露西》（I Love Lucy），露西尔·鲍尔和德西·阿纳兹，1951-1957年

“这部剧创造了三机位拍摄技术和电视剧重播。它是第一部拥有跨种族情侣的电视剧，也是第一部出现孕妇的剧集。剧中的喜剧元素永不过时，并在随后的多年里在电视和电影中被反复借鉴。由于《我爱露西》的成功，Desilu制片厂帮助创建并拍摄了另外两部对美国生活产生巨大影响的电视剧：《碟中谍》和《星际迷航》。”

《教父》（The Godfather），弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉，1972年

“这部电影永远地改变了电影。在弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉这部犯罪世界史诗出现之前，反英雄、续集以及宏大的叙事线索都非常罕见。”

《芝麻街》（Sesame Street），琼·甘兹·库尼和劳埃德·莫里塞特，1969年至今

很难反驳将《月出》（Moonrise）[作为] 60年代末 / 70年代初的选择，但《芝麻街》彻底改变了美国的早期教育（以及后来的海外教育），将基于研究的教学法带给跨越社会经济阶层的所有儿童，并重新定义了家庭与所谓的‘傻瓜电视’（boob tube）之间的关系。六十年后，琼·甘兹·库尼关于如何有效利用商业电视和广告吸引力特征的愿景依然充满活力。由于库尼将她的尝试命名为‘工作坊’，随着我们对幼儿发育的认知增加以及为了跟上媒体环境的变化，它一直在不断演进。

《南方公园》、特雷·帕克与马特·斯通，1997年至今

“《南方公园》在拓展美国言论自由边界方面，所做的贡献超过了伦尼·布鲁斯、乔治·卡林或任何其他单一力量。几乎没有哪个美国主要公众人物或机构没有被他们讽刺过。在一个政府日益威权且干预媒体的时代，《南方公园》确保了从唐纳德·特朗普及其以下的所有美国人都依然在讽刺作家的笔下承担责任。”

演讲及其他号召行动

许多评论者认为，文中对那些敢于发声反对不公正状况，或其言行促成社会变革的人提及不足。读者频繁引用马丁·路德·金牧师的演讲和信件，以及亚伯拉罕·林肯在 1863 年发表的《葛底斯堡演说》。一位读者指出，文中遗漏了记者艾达·B·威尔斯对黑人被私刑处决的记录，包括《南方恐怖》（1892-1894）和 1895 年的《红色记录》。

巨著《匿名戒酒会》（1939）和约瑟夫·史密斯 1830 年的文本《摩门经》也被提及为显著改变了数百万人的生活。

读者还迅速指责我们遗漏了两位在 20 世纪 60 年代发表重要作品的女性：环保主义者蕾切尔·卡森和女权主义者贝蒂·弗里丹。

以下是部分评论摘录。

罗莎·帕克斯的入狱照，1956年

“罗莎·帕克斯的入狱照——或者她在抵制运动后坐在蒙哥马利公交车上的那张标志性照片——都是美国历史上影响最深远的图像之一。她安静的反抗行为帮助启动了现代民权运动，将马丁·路德·金博士推向了国家领导地位，并使国家走上了制定《民权法案》、《投票权法案》和《公平住房法案》的道路。蒙哥马利公交车抵制运动还启发了后来的女权运动、环境正义、消费者保护、残疾人权利和移民权利运动。罗莎·帕克斯的勇气不仅改变了一座城市，它改变了整个国家，并成为了全球争取正义与平等斗争的象征。”

《寂静的春天》，蕾切尔·卡森，1962年

“对我而言，就像许多婴儿潮一代一样，这代表了我环境意识觉醒的开始。阅读这本书时，我第一次意识到我周围的自然世界实际上是多么脆弱，以及人类能造成（且仍在造成）多么巨大的破坏。”

马丁·路德·金的

《我有一个梦想》演说，1963年

“对我来说，没有什么比马丁·路德·金在林肯纪念堂发表的《我有一个梦想》演说对这个国家的文化、方向和愿景产生更大的影响了。它不仅激励了数百万不同种族、性别、宗教和文化的人，还启动了一系列对这个国家产生深远影响的立法行动。”

金的《来自伯明翰监狱的信》，1963年

“金希望那些不惜一切代价追求和平的温和派能够意识到，他们在支持一个旨在以牺牲他人为代价来偏袒某些人的系统时，扮演了共犯的角色。《信》让堪萨斯的农民、西雅图的家庭主妇和波士顿的商人能够理解，在那些公民被肤色而非人格品质评判的管辖区内，正在上演着一场赌注极高的戏剧。《信》应该是每个初中生的必读书目。”

《女性的迷思》，贝蒂·弗里丹，1963年

“它的简单信息是：女性不是天生的家庭主妇，不应该将一生花在清洁、烹饪、照顾孩子以及顺从男性的权威和自尊心上。这本书售出了数百万册，[并]启动了一场政治、社会和文化运动，以我们至今仍在适应的方式改变了这个国家。我真的很惊讶《邮报》忽略了它。”

想象的新方式

读者们迅速指出，个人电脑以及随后的 iPhone 以曾经无法想象的方式改变了我们的生活。（有趣的是，没有人提到人工智能。）

一些人还强力主张，漫画和玩偶在很大程度上塑造了我们的信仰体系。

《动作漫画》第1期（ featuring 超人），杰里·西格尔和乔·舒斯特，1938年

“虽然被列入了值得关注的名单，但《动作漫画》第1期的地位应该高于罗伯特·约翰逊。漫画书是美国出口最多的文化发明之一。《动作漫画》采用了这种美国新媒介，并将其与最古老的虚构类型——超级英雄故事相结合。作为吉尔伽美什的继承者，超人在全世界几乎被普遍认可。自从 50 年前从漫画页面被搬上银幕以来，超人及其启发之作一直主导着美国文化。我知道这次评选具有一定的主观性，但没有任何一个衡量标准能证明超人的文化影响力没有远超一名卓越的蓝调音乐家的录音。”

芭比娃娃，美泰公司，1959

“这款娃娃彻底改变了女孩们的游戏方式。在芭比出现之前，她们的娃娃要么是需要摇篮哄睡的婴儿，要么是需要烫发的幼儿。通过这些婴儿娃娃或漂亮的小孩，女孩们在扮演她们成年后成为母亲的既定命运。当身材曼妙的芭比出现时，这种 1950 年代的理想被打破了。芭比是一个有男朋友、穿着时尚的青少年。芭比及其多样化服装带来的幻想，让小女孩们能够为自己构想不同的未来，最终甚至开始扮演芭比的职业生涯。”

苹果麦金塔个人电脑，杰夫·拉斯金与史蒂夫·乔布斯，1984

“因为它作为美国技术领导力和创新能力的卓越典范而具有标志性地位，并且在平衡国内外文化格局方面具有重要意义。”

iPhone，史蒂夫·乔布斯，2007

“与 iPod 相比，它不仅改变了美国文化，更改变了世界。一方面，它是技术艺术与美学的作品；另一方面，它改变了从成年人到幼儿的沟通方式。可以说，它改变了人类的意识，这并不夸张。”

我和老板是朋友。他的离婚意味着我要承担更多工作。

插图：KATTY HUERTAS / 华盛顿邮报；ISTOCK

Say More 专栏 作者：AMY PARLAPIANO

亲爱的 Say More：我和我的老板共事大约五年了。我们合作愉快，经常分享彼此的私人生活。我的老板是同性恋，现在正与丈夫离婚。他们在一起超过 20 年，但结婚仅约四年。除了其他原因，他的丈夫出轨了。我参加了他们的婚礼，对这次分手感到非常难过。

看着我的老板崩溃是很痛苦的。他很难在工作中找到热情，而我承担了大量被他遗漏的工作（尽管我的薪水没有达到他的级别）。他上班迟到，早早下班，而且体重增加了许多。我们聊了很多，但他不想听批评或建议，而我也并不特别热衷于提供这些。

我想支持他，但不确定最好的方式是什么。我也厌倦了做大量额外工作却得不到相应的报酬。我不能通过向高层抱怨来背叛他。关于如何继续前进，有什么建议吗？

来自田纳西州的“疲惫者”

来自田纳西州的“疲惫者”：感到担心是很自然的。一个你喜欢且信任的人失去了方向。你的老板可能会继续增重，或者开始迅速减轻体重；他可能会顶着一个荒诞的新发型出勤，或者买一件价值 $2,000 的极其丑陋的皮夹克。他现在可能需要时间来度过人生中这段在情感上令人衰弱的时期。在工作中，当有人去世时，我们会获得“丧假”，但当我们为曾经的生活和曾经的自己而哀悼时，我们能获得什么？他可能正在试图弄清楚这一点。你可以尝试帮助他，但你需要将你在工作中寻求的必要改变，与你希望在工作之外为他提供的同情心区分开来。

因为虽然他在家中经历着心碎的情况，但无论是有意还是无意，他在工作中也在利用你以及你的善良。为了你自己，这个问题应该被解决。

你对他更多是将其描述为朋友而非上级。但无论如何，他依然掌握着权力。如果是一个经历同样挣扎的不同朋友，你可能会告诉他你的担忧，并想办法建立一些界限，这样你就不会受到他情绪崩溃的影响。友谊往往在于说：“听着，我知道你不想听这个，但是……” 在这里你不太倾向于这样做，因为……嗯，他是你的老板。这有点奇怪！他可以告诉你该做什么，他告诉你不要给他建议，同时又在没有真正要求的情况下，期望你承担工作中额外的负担。而你对这两点都选择了默许。

见他面并表达你诚挚的担忧，但首先要围绕工作展开。告诉他，你已经被那些不属于你职位职责范围的任务压垮了，建立一个新的结构至关重要，因为目前的情况不可持续。询问他这将如何运作，并观察他的反应。在你向他提出初步担忧后，你可以尝试安排一次你、他以及他的老板之间的会议，这样你们三人可以共同制定一个最佳的推进计划。你也可以表达对他真诚的支持，告诉他希望他已经研究过休假政策，并与他的老板讨论过花时间充分处理这次变动。

这是在办公室里提出老板现状的一种方式。然后你可以考虑在工作之外支持你朋友的方法。也许你可以给他寄一些餐食，或者如果他住得近就送过去。给他发一些有趣的表情包。如果你觉得你们的关系足够牢固，你可以建议他咨询专业人士。

职业关系与友谊是可以共存的，但不能像你目前描述的那样。两者之间需要有界限，而听起来你们之间可能从未有过界限。如果工作中的情况没有改变，你应该将此事上报，并且 / 或者考虑为自己寻求一个新的环境，无论是在同一家公司内部还是在其他地方。

你担心会背叛他，并失去你们之间紧密的关系。但如果他不愿意承认自己在痛苦之中是如何在职业上伤害你的，那么也许你们之间根本就没有多少值得保护的关系——至少在工作关系方面是这样。

我意识到我是同性恋。一个近 30 岁的处女还有希望吗？

Say More 谢恩·奥尼尔 (SHANE O'NEILL)

亲爱的 Say More：我是一名 29 岁的女性，事业成功且快乐，有很好的朋友和自己喜欢的爱好，身材匀称，长相也不差。直到现在，我一直与男性约会，有过几次严肃的恋爱关系，但从未在他们身上体验过高潮。但靠自己，是的，很多次。直到有一天我终于醒悟，意识到问题不在他们，而在我，我是个女同性恋。

我不确定之前怎么没注意到这一点。我在 DMV（华盛顿特区、马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州）长大，家里有身为女同性恋的姨妈和表亲，有实行非单配偶制 (ENM) 的双性恋朋友，我父亲的两个最好的朋友也是同性恋——但我猜我可能仍然存在内化的恐同心理。

我最近开始使用约会软件，但没有匹配到任何人。一个近 30 岁的处女没有希望了吗？我应该隐瞒这件事吗？还是用幽默的方式面对它？

—— 太年轻，不愿孤独死去

太年轻，不愿孤独死去：首先让我们这样开始：呜呼！

能弄清楚这些事情永远值得庆祝。但坦白说？当你是一个接近 30 岁的单身女性时，成为一名女同性恋绝对是个好消息。

在我见过的关系中，一些最幸福、最健康的关系就发生在 20 岁之后的女性之间。我不擅长数学，但如果你是女同性恋，我认为与女性约会将使你的情感和性满足感增加约 100%。此外，你遇到计划外怀孕、吝啬的爱人以及关于安德鲁·休伯曼 (Andrew Huberman) 的不受欢迎对话的可能性要小得多。就像我说的：呜呼！

不要为 29. 岁而焦虑。当我接近 30, 岁时，我觉得自己就像被留在厨房台面上的牛奶。忽略那种感觉。魔鬼在撒谎。

女同性恋的觉醒可以在任何年龄发生。我见过一些女性真的以室友身份共同生活多年，直到 60 多岁时才突然意识到彼此相爱。如果你想看一个可爱的例子，可以看看 1977 年的纪录片《Word Is Out: Stories From Some of Our Lives》（在 Criterion 平台流媒体播放，YouTube 亦可观看），片中讲述了一位带着孩子的离婚女性爱上了社区里一个新搬来的 tomboy (butch) 的故事。

另外，练习说像“Word Is Out: Stories From Some of Our Lives”这样的短语是有好处的。出于某种原因，我们的酷儿群体非常喜欢这种冗长的标题。

至于你缺乏性经验的问题，我认为你不需要隐瞒，也不需要刻意强调。29 岁还在寻找你的第一次萨福式 (Sapphic) 过夜之约完全正常。如果有人认为这很奇怪，或者让你对此感到奇怪，那么你反正也不想和他们上床。

话虽如此，这也可以成为一个卖点。寻找一个渴望引导你的酷儿女性，就像在 Muna 的演唱会上寻找留刘海的人一样：虽然不是每个人都这样，但也不难找到。

尽力而为，留意对方的言语和非言语反应，你就会掌握要领。如果你不知道某种方式是否有效，就直接问！

请记住，靠自己获得的高潮与他人触碰带来的高潮同样有效。你会发现什么适合你。与此同时，即使在伴侣面前，也不要害怕用你熟悉的方式来获得高潮。

而且，请尽一切努力放下关于成为“处女”的焦虑。“处女之身”是一个建构出来的概念。在历史上，它被用来控制女性身体并从中榨取金钱价值。除非你是一个主演 1980 年代青少年性喜剧的高三学生，否则这个概念没有任何实际价值。

至于那些软件，你都用了吗？Tinder, Lex, OkCupid, Feeld, Her, Zoe, Taimi, Hinge, Bumble，以及在我写这句话的过程中新出现的任何其他软件？你有没有请朋友帮你修改个人资料并挑选照片？

说到这个：一旦你准备好了，我就建议你赶紧联系那些 ENM（即伦理非单配偶制）的双性恋朋友。从他们那里获得支持会很不错。而且？他们还可以开始散布消息，告诉大家城里来了一位新的女同性恋。你知道那个理论吧，就是地球上的每一个人之间只隔着六度分离？但在女同性恋之间，这大概只有负二度。

继续坚持下去。她就在那里，能遇到你将是她的幸运。

再一次：呜呼！！

寻找一个渴望引导你的酷儿女性，就像在 Muna 的演唱会上寻找法式刘海一样：虽然不是每个人都这样，但其实并不难找。

我觉得我正在失去我的挚友，我不知道该怎么办

Say More 专栏 ELAHE IZADI

亲爱的 Say More：我正努力与我的（前？）挚友摩根（Morgan）保持联系，但她住在与我完全相反的美国海岸。我今年 38 岁，已婚，有两个年幼的孩子，并且全职工作。摩根也全职工作，目前单身且在约会，并享受着她近期意识到自己是酷儿（queer）后的生活。我提到这一点是因为她正积极地尝试为自己建立一个酷儿社区，许多夜晚和周末都沉浸在相关活动中。

我们在初中相识；我把她当成家人，她曾担任我的伴娘等等。在 20 多岁的时候，我们住在不同的城市，但设法通过长时间的电话和共同旅行来保持联系。现在，我们都安顿在了截然不同的生活中。

我最近听有人说，友谊不能仅仅依靠“叙旧”的概念来维持，你需要创造新的回忆才能让它生存下去。但感觉我们的时间表再也无法对齐，无法再进行长时间的叙旧了。我们开始用语音消息代替短信，这有所帮助。但我对一段曾经非常紧密的友谊缓慢地瓦解成仅仅是偶尔叙旧的关系感到悲伤。我不确定我的问题具体是什么，但我是否遗漏了什么我可以做的事情？

—— 匿名读者

匿名读者：我不想贬低那个告诉你友谊需要新回忆才能生存的人，但答案是：不。谁有那个时间！光是想到这一点我就觉得精疲力竭。

最丰盈的友谊不仅仅是游乐场，更是我们在生活时可以退回的避风港，即使我们并非共同生活。长期朋友尤其特别，因为你们见证了彼此经历的许多阶段。他们可能以一种我们甚至无法向自己清晰表达的方式了解我们；他们是我们的镜子。

当然，友谊确实需要相互尊重、爱、信任和连接。听起来你和摩根拥有前三者（我希望如此？），但你觉得最后一个元素正在流逝。这并不意味着它无法修复。

友谊通常因为地理上的接近和共同经历而形成，这也是许多友谊得以维持的原因。但我感觉你和摩根维持友谊并非因为方便。否则，你们早就在很久以前分道扬镳了。而且，就我个人而言，我认为如果我们的朋友中既有生活方式与我们不同的人，而不仅仅是那些拥有相同时间表和邮政编码的人，我们会过得更好。

所以，如果你想保留这段纽带，我建议重新定义：你的友谊并非在缓慢瓦解，而是其环境发生了变化。因此，你需要更新友谊的运作机制以及你的预期。

我认为养成发送语音备忘录的新习惯是一个令人鼓舞的信号；尽管存在限制，你们仍然在尝试保持联系。那些随机的短信和语音备忘录具有力量。交换笑话、梗图、书籍和电视推荐以及新闻文章，并邀请对方发表评论，这些不仅仅是琐事；它让你觉得你们仍然生活在同一个世界里。你可以表达出想要增强连接感的愿望，并通过建议安排一些双方都能实现的活动来增加目的性，比如每月一次的视频聊天或通话，这样你们可以直接深入探讨对方的近况，而不仅仅是回顾日常生活的流水账。

谈谈你们友谊的运作机制。我最亲密的朋友之一（我也把她当成家人）从未与我住在同一个城市。我们的生活截然不同，时间表也非常紧凑。但我们有一个口头协议：如果一方给另一方打电话，那是因为那个人恰好有一分钟时间，并且尝试碰碰运气，看看时机是否刚好契合。对方没有必须接听或立即回电的压力。这让我们摆脱了被辜负或给对方增加负担的恐惧。我们只需要知道，双方都在努力。

这类友谊需要内置一种宽容。摩根正处于培养社区的初步阶段，而萌芽中的关系就像幼苗，需要大量的关注才能成长。你也在抚养孩子，他们同样需要大量的关注才能成长（而且坦白说，才能生存下去）。如果你们其中一人或两人因此而分身乏术，你能否克制住不去将其视为一种暗示——暗示你们的友谊不再重要，或者这种关系已不再可能？相反，要在各自的道路上互相鼓励。多提问，表现出兴趣。这才是表达关怀的方式。

当然，请尽情哀悼你们 20 岁时的那种友谊——那时你们可以随时跳上飞机一起旅行，或者在电话里畅聊数小时。那个阶段可能已经结束了（至少目前如此；人生漫长，情况总会改变！）。也许你只是觉得这段友谊已经走到了尽头。但你是否愿意接受一种可能性，即你们的友谊会演变成一种感觉更加充实的关系？因为到那时，将把你们彼此系在一起的将只有爱。

在翻译游戏和动漫时，准确性并非一切

来自 E1 的翻译

他对语言的研究受到了他成长过程中接触的日本游戏启发，例如《塞尔达传说》和《最终幻想》系列。

在谈到关于翻译的争论时，他说：“我认为这种情况一直存在。”他表示，社交媒体只是让“每个人的观点都变得更容易被获取”。

在一定程度上，他也欢迎这种辩论。他说，不同的解读可以迫使人们思考一段文字的真实含义，从而鼓励对主题和角色的分析。问题在于，当解读被误认为某种数学方程式时。福克斯（Fox）表示，这过度简化了语言和文化的复杂性。

“人们倾向于认为这种语言更复杂……但实际上这与复杂程度无关，而在于语言的类型，是低语境、高语境，还是介于两者之间，”福克斯说。“像英语这样的语言是低语境的，承载的信息量非常大。你需要知道的一切都在句子中。”

而日语则会考虑说话者是谁、与听者的关系以及其他文化语境线索。

福克斯举例说，“washi”这个词翻译成英文是“I”（我），但它暗示说话者是一位年长者。他说，与英语相比，日语通常要求读者或听者承担更多的责任来解码含义。

如今，现代本地化（尤其是电子游戏）的规模极其庞大。福克斯负责《最终幻想 XIV》的翻译工作，该游戏自 2013 年发布以来，已成为有史以来规模最大的网络角色扮演游戏之一，也是发行商 Square Enix 的主要盈利产品。

福克斯表示，该游戏的一次大型更新可能包含约 200,000 个单词，足以写成一部长篇小说；而其世界观和故事的大型扩展包则可能接近 500,000 个单词。随着扩展包接近发布，英文本地化团队的人数可能会增加到 10 人以上。

不同的翻译可以使用不同的词汇，且依然是合理的。人们首先接触的版本可能会通过第一印象而变得具有权威性，进而演变成一种情怀。

“我们做的不是学术翻译，而是娱乐翻译。你可以把词语传达出去，但如果你没有把信息传达出去，那么这就不是一个好的本地化。”

——迈克尔-克里斯托弗·小次郎·福克斯（Michael-Christopher Koji Fox），Square Enix 本地化总监

MAXINE WALLACE / THE WASHINGTON POST

MAXINE WALLACE / THE WASHINGTON POST 上图：《最终幻想 XIV》，历史上规模最大的多人在线角色扮演游戏之一，注册用户超过 3000 万。

左图（从上至下）：Square Enix 本地化总监迈克尔-克里斯托弗·小次郎·福克斯在 8 月的 Otakon 展会上；福克斯与粉丝合影。

福克斯提到了《最终幻想 VII》最初的英文翻译。该作发布于 1997, 年，当时的电子游戏本地化仍处于起步阶段，工作量被丢给小型团队甚至仅由一个人承担。其结果是产生了一些虽笨拙但富有魅力的英文台词，被一代玩家所喜爱，仅仅是因为这些词语伴随他们成长。

“同样，这最终归结为解读，取决于每个个体希望从翻译中获得什么，以及他们如何解读这些翻译，”福克斯说。“这就是为什么会出现如此多不同的观点，而且人们对此充满热情。”

另一个针对翻译者的常见指责是，他们有权力针对不同受众对内容进行“审查”。

福克斯表示，本地化人员根本没有那种权力。不同地区版本之间的差异可能源自创作者本身，或者由发行商、品牌要求和分级委员会决定。

“因为版本之间发生了变化，人们很容易将矛头指向本地化，但很多时候存在着许多人们看不到的因素，”福克斯说。

当某行文字含糊不清或难以处理时，Fox 表示最好的解决方案就是直接询问原作者的本意。

对于《最终幻想XVI》，Fox 及其团队获得了极大的自由度。编剧希望故事能让人们感受到西方中世纪奇幻故事的真实感。初始剧本是用日语编写的，但翻译过程考虑到了演员的表现和对话的节奏。

Fox 表示，日语对话经常出现一个角色长篇大论，而另一个角色在倾听并偶尔发出简短回应的情况。而在英语中，对话更倾向于一种“呼应”模式。因此，他的团队有时会将独白拆分，给其他角色分配台词，将其转化为对话。核心观点相同，但节奏有所不同。

在考虑游戏的措辞时，该团队查阅了《牛津英语词典》，以避免使用 1900 年以后出现的表达方式。其目标是创造出听起来古老但又易于理解的对话。

尽管如此，日语写作团队仍拥有否决权。在《最终幻想XVI》的结局中，关于一名角色的命运依然模糊不清，Fox 希望将其处理得更明确，但他在这次争论中输了。

这一切都取决于面向观众的目标。当一个日语笑话被字面翻译时，词汇可能是准确的，但幽默感却被锁在文化背景和文字游戏之中。他的团队有时会在同事之间测试翻译后的笑话，并对那些令人困惑或冷场的笑话进行重新加工。

对 Fox 而言，这并不一定意味着翻译不准确。能够引发笑声，可能比复刻精确的词汇更忠实于原作。

“你可以翻译得完美无缺，但如果它不能让西方观众像日本观众那样笑起来，那么这就是一次失败的翻译，”他说，“词汇很重要，但传递的信息更为重要。”

你可能不了解的多莉·帕顿：她的自白

美联社

近五十年来，多莉·帕顿（Dolly Parton）在接受美联社记者的采访时，谈论的内容远不止那些让她成名的歌曲。她还谈到了电影明星的生涯、亲吻总统以及她的慈善工作等话题。

这些采访记录下的帕顿既幽默且自谦，又对自己是谁以及想要什么有着清醒的认识。

以下是由美联社音乐记者玛丽亚·舍曼（Maria Sherman）汇编的帕顿自白。帕顿于周二去世，享年 80 岁：

在好莱坞发出邀请之前，帕顿就知道自己会出名

“我从未认为过自己是个电影明星。我知道我会成为一名明星，但应该是作为一名歌手，或者作为歌曲、书籍或诗歌的作者。我想成为一名著名的表演者，穿着华丽的衣服，但在电影里唱歌并不是我的抱负之一。我的家人住在山里，我们不看电影。”

“我演不了角色，但如果他们允许我做我自己，那么我可以应对。如果他们能找到一个让我能做自己的故事，那么我会感兴趣；如果没有，我就没兴趣。”（1979年7月）

关于在白宫亲吻吉米·卡特总统

“我丈夫也想要一张这个瞬间的照片。”（1979年10月）

在对自己在《9 to 5》中的表现进行自我评价时，她评价道：

“在某些地方我表现得非常好。在某些地方我表现得非常平庸，而在其他地方我……（吐舌头）。总而言之，作为第一次尝试，我对此感到自豪。”（1980年12月）

帕顿担心《德克萨斯州最好的小妓院》会冒犯她身为牧师的祖父

“我承认我对这部电影的标题有些顾虑。毕竟，我的祖父是一名牧师，我自己也是一个有信仰的人。我不想做任何可能被认为具有冒犯性的事情。后来我看了这部剧，我意识到这纯粹是一场让人兴奋的狂欢。”（1981年12月）

帕顿将多莉坞（Dollywood）视为让阿巴拉契亚讲述自身故事的一种方式

“这是我想引以为傲的事情，去保护大烟山（Smoky Mountain）的遗产，而不是让好莱坞像他们经常做的那样来描绘我们。”（1985年7月）

关于丈夫卡尔·迪恩（Carl Dean）与幸福

“那是初见倾心。我经常看到让我心动的人。只不过没有人像他那样让我如此心醉神迷。”（1992年5月）

关于与艾米露·哈里斯（Emmylou Harris）和琳达·朗斯塔特（Linda Ronstadt）合唱

“我们真的很热爱唱歌。你花一辈子的时间等待寻找那些契合的声音。这就像在做爱一样。……我从中获得快感。真的。我感到如此激动。当那种共鸣响起时，感觉太棒了。在那方面，它就像性一样。不要抗拒它。”（1999年3月）

关于埃尔维斯在田纳西东部的遗产

“我不认为他的影响力会消退。许多人将他视为像耶稣一样的宗教人物。……我不知道该如何解释，但这种感觉就在那里，它是真实的，人们热爱它。”（2002年8月）

为什么她从未想过退休

“我会像鲍勃·霍普（Bob Hope）那样，100岁时还在巡演。我热爱忙碌。……我永远不会退休。我希望在某个盛大活动或我演唱某首伟大歌曲的中途突然猝死。然后人们会说，‘噢，好吧，她是在快乐中，在做她热爱的事情时离开的。’”（2004年4月）

在珍妮·杰克逊（Janet Jackson）和贾斯汀·汀布莱克（Justin Timberlake）的超级碗表演之后，关于她在颁奖典礼上的表演，她表示：

“今晚不会出现任何服装故障。不应该出现，也没有计划出现。但我的衣服这么紧，谁知道会发生什么。如果真的发生了，我会把前三排的人全部‘横扫’掉。”（2004年4月）

她的唱片公司 Dolly Records 是对她自身的一项投资

“我把它看作一项投资。我想，‘我已经赚了足够的钱。我可以负担得起对自己的一点投资。’”（2008年3月）

关于获得荣誉博士学位

“想想看，我是多莉博士（Dr. Dolly）！所以当人们提到‘Double-D’（双D）时，他们将会想到完全不同的事情。”（2009年5月）

回顾多莉坞（Dollywood）25年

“我一直认为，如果我能出名，或者在我最初尝试的事情上获得成功，我想回到我的家乡，做一些伟大的事情，一些能为这个地区带来大量就业机会的事情。果然，我很幸运，上帝对我很好，事情进展得很顺利。”（2010年4月）

关于为麦莉·赛勒斯（Miley Cyrus）感到自豪

“我是她的仙女教母。……我真的很为她感到自豪。她不需要我的建议，但她经常向我询问信息和建议，

CARLOS OSORIO / AP

多莉·帕顿（Dolly Parton）2009年在底特律演出。她在2004年曾说：“我会像鲍勃·霍普（Bob Hope）那样，直到100岁还在巡演。” “我热爱忙碌。……我永远不会退休。我希望在某个盛大活动或演唱某首伟大歌曲的中途突然离世。然后人们会说，‘噢，她是在快乐中，在做她热爱的事情时离开的。’”

我会告诉她我知道的一切，但我觉得这个女孩没有我也能做得很好。”（2010年7月）

人们曾认为惠特尼·休斯顿（Whitney Houston）创作了她最著名的歌曲之一

“人们总是告诉我，‘我以为那是惠特尼的歌。我不知道是你写的。我以为是她写的。’ 而我告诉他们，‘名声给她就好。我只要钱。’”（2018年12月）

关于她的慈善工作

“我这么做不是为了吸引注意力。但你看！我这么做确实吸引了很多注意力。”（2022年10月）

关于像“鸭子扑六月虫”一样热爱摇滚乐

“我只是觉得自己在摇滚领域的成就还不足以被考虑，不足以被列入摇滚名人堂，因为还有那么多伟大的摇滚艺术家甚至还没有进入摇滚名人堂。……但他们无论如何都要把我放进去，所以我就优雅地接受了。但我心想，‘好吧，我得证明我的价值。’ ……我就像鸭子扑六月虫一样迅速投入其中。”（2023年11月）

关于她的家庭专辑与传承

“我的祖父以前常说，当我出名时，他说，‘嗯，她是用D调哭着出生的。’ 我想我们所有人都是如此。”

“我希望我的很多歌曲能延续那么久。我希望人们记得我是一个试图在世界上做些好事，并留下了一些美好事物的人。”（2024年11月）

关于在失去丈夫卡尔·迪恩（Carl Dean）并成为超级巨星后转向信仰

“我是一个有信仰的人，我深信有一天我会再次见到他。在我的记忆中，在我的心中，以及在我们曾经一起做过的所有事情和共同建立的所有事物中，我每天都能看到他。你只能试着去学习制定新的计划——但那是最困难的部分。”

“我不以‘超级巨星’的身份来看待我的生活。我只是一个工作女性。我总是说——而且这是事实——我是一匹看起来像表演马的劳碌马。但我必须维持这一切，而且我享受这一切。我的丈夫总是说，‘如果有人天生就是明星，那就是你。’”（2025年5月）

Henock Zacharias 履行其作为“牛肉侍酒师”的职责，引导食客了解他们在 Ox & Olive 可以选择的各种方案，这是主厨 Ryan Ratino 在乔治敦新开的牛排馆。

又一家牛排馆？这家（确实）具有开创性。

埃拉扎尔·松塔格 (Elazar Sontag)

在 Ox & Olive 享用晚餐，首先迎接你的是“牛肉侍酒师”。你对此的感受是衡量你心情的一个良好基准。他们身着一套大胆的红色西装，端着一个巨大的银盘，盘中摆放着各种切块的牛排，每一块都被详细地描述一遍。

有些牛排高而瘦，有些则更薄，且大理石花纹如此之多，以至于在侍酒师说话时，它们看起来像是在融化。我对这场“表演”最初的白眼反应表明，在 5 月下旬餐厅开业后不久，我的幽默感水平正处于危险的低谷。

为自己辩护的话，当时在我看来，一个穿着西装、拥有一个大概是编造出来的头衔的服务员，端着一大盘昂贵的红肉走来走去，这像是一个不祥的噱头。我几乎能想象出 Salt Bae 会把这个点子挪用到他在迪拜的下一家餐厅里。在此时我应该澄清一下：在 Ox & Olive 吃了三顿晚餐，与该餐厅的牛肉侍酒师又进行了几次接触，并品尝了他们推销的肉类之后，我重新找回了生活乐趣，并改变了看法。

如果在华盛顿有任何一家餐厅的牛排足够好，能让人原谅一点点刻意且浮夸的晚餐剧场，那么一定是这家——一个自称“牛肉圣殿”的地方，它并不完美，但绝对比镇上任何其他阴郁的肉类聚集地要有趣得多。

主厨瑞安·拉蒂诺 (Ryan Ratino) 的其他 D.C. 餐厅 Jönt 和 Bresca 的常客会意识到，Ox & Olive 也许是他对“享乐”这一标志性理念最坦诚的表达。音乐很大声，在重金属和嘻哈之间交替（这是拉蒂诺餐厅的共同主题）。如果你告诉我，这个模仿狩猎小屋设计的餐厅曾是《狩猎妻子》(The Hunting Wives) 的拍摄地——那是我痴迷的一部庸俗而华丽的电视剧，讲述了一些拥有大枪和深仇大恨的极其富有、典型的南方女性的生活——我也不会感到惊讶。羊皮垫披在椅子靠背上，鹿角被制成戏剧性的吊灯，蜡烛被放置数月，融化成一大块块像诡异雕塑一样的蜡滴。哦，而且墙壁被刷成了深黑色。为什么不呢？

在餐厅所有这些迷人的古怪之处中（在牛肉侍酒师到来之前，会有一名服务员在桌边摇制一杯赠送的柠檬滴或类似的果味鸡尾酒），你可能会暂时忘记拉蒂诺是一个痴迷于收集米其林星级、且对工艺极其严肃的人。

首先是牛排，他的货源来自美国、澳大利亚和日本的大约 24 个农场。开放式厨房不使用明火，因此为了给每块牛排做出厚实的焦壳，团队依赖于烤箱。肉类褐变后，会被移至桌面上的木炭烤架上，以增加一些营火风味。而接下来的步骤则更加极致：牛排加工过程中产生的脂肪和边角料被送到 Jônt 的明火炉中，在那里这些牛肉碎被熏制并炼油。然后，这些液体烟熏液——真正的烟熏液，而非瓶装的甜腻溶液——被刷回 Ox & Olive 的牛排上，随后牛排被端上你的餐桌。

我觉得每一块牛排都能带来认知的转变。调味精准，火候亦然。Ratino潜心钻研的模拟烟熏工艺带来了巨大的回报。但真正让我好奇的是，为什么那么多其他牛排馆仅仅依靠来自两三家农场的平庸肋眼牛排就能勉强维持经营，而这里的肉质却如此出众。仔细聆听你的牛肉侍酒师的建议，并据此做出选择，因为你的决定至关重要。这里有熟成42天的澳大利亚肋眼牛排所带有的淡淡蓝纹奶酪风味，也有选用喂食威士忌糟的田纳西州肉牛切割而成的牛排所具有的黄油爆米花余味，更不用说另外大约20种我尚未尝试过的多种口味和质感。考虑到为了品尝Ox & Olive不断轮换的系列选项，你确实需要多吃牛肉，那么这家餐厅那极其令人反感的座右铭——“多吃牛肉”——是可以被原谅的。

目前围绕牛排的文化和政治氛围……很奇怪。在一个国家

饮食注意事项：菜单上未列出过敏原；提供几款鱼素菜品，但素食菜品极少。

已经与我们饮食的起源脱节，牛肉在食物金字塔顶端的新地位使其进一步变成了一种像吃一片吐司一样强迫性的消费品，纯粹是为了变得强壮，而且——别忘了——为了像个美国人。Ox & Olive 将牛排视为某种珍贵之物，将其视为一项值得像对待好酒一样给予敬畏和细致对待的特殊活动，这一点令人耳目一新。我不确定多吃牛肉是否是我们——或者我们的星球——真正需要的，但在我们需要这样做的时候，如果我们能从一个足够在意、甚至称自己为“侍酒师”的人那里了解牛肉，那将是非常幸运的。

菜单的其他部分并不总是能兑现“多吃牛肉”生活方式的承诺。楔形沙拉上那些咸得发苦且口感古怪、像陈旧碎屑一样的牛肉培根，只让我意识到猪肉培根有多美味。我被一份放在干燥面包小圆盘上的鞑靼牛肉搞糊涂了，它被冠以“闪电泡芙（eclaire）”之名，但遗憾的是，味道完全不像。有时你会觉得牛肉是被强加给你的，比如那些颗粒感强且太冷的牛脂，被笨拙地搅拌进黄油中，搭配原本美味的布里欧修面包卷。迷你牛胸肉热狗还算不错，但在两磅重的和牛肋眼牛排面前，热狗并不是我的身体所渴望的。我敢保证，如果能提供更多能让人从这些“牛产品”中喘口气的开胃菜，并不会破坏整体效果。

另一方面，Ratino 及其团队确实找到了一些除了牛排晚餐之外，能让你产生浓厚兴趣的牛肉食用方式，包括一份处于季节顶峰的核果沙拉，铺在法式酸奶油（crème fraîche）之上，顶端点缀着薄如纸片的风干牛肉条，其味道和口感与帕尔马火腿相似。一份仅限吧台就座顾客点购的汉堡堪称极品，由牛排边角料制成，点缀着烟熏甜洋葱和本质上是自制巨无霸酱的酱料。

如果你想要一顿毫无掩饰的饕餮大餐，并更好地理解 Ratino 那种“高低结合”的核心灵魂，你可以点汉堡套餐，其中包含法式炸薯条和用于蘸食的巧克力软冰淇淋。（我还没试过这个套餐。也许有一天会试。）如果你觉得有动力完全避开牛肉，我会问你为什么来这里，但法式焗龙虾是一个不错的选择，顶端覆盖着融化的奶酪，并配以层次丰富的咖喱。

我希望我能推荐这家餐厅的招牌甜点——一个形状和颜色都像胡萝卜的胡萝卜蛋糕，为了致敬 Ratino 童年对《乐一通》的热爱，最后还加上了两只圆圆的眼睛。当这根胡萝卜盯着你看时，除了对一家如此愿意自嘲的餐厅感到纯粹的欣赏外，很难有其他感觉。直到你咬一口，味道大部分是糖，严重缺乏奶油奶酪的酸爽感。如果你倾向于用甜点收尾，一份巧克力拿破仑酥带有恰到好处的苦味。我很少这么做。事实是，当所有的牛肉吃完时，很难想象还能再次进食。

MICHELE CUREL / 为《华盛顿邮报》拍摄 上个月，基亚拉·马诺利（Chiara Manoli）与Qualya、Plume和Roanne在瑞士的大圣伯纳德山口（Great St. Bernard Pass）进行每日晨间散步。

圣伯纳犬成为最大吸引力

游客们纷纷涌向瑞士的Barryland，这是一个致力于该传奇品种的主题公园

作者：安德里亚·萨克斯（ANDREA SACHS）

一个夏日的早晨，我出发前往大圣伯纳德山口徒步，这里是从英国到罗马的法兰西格纳之路（Via Francigena）上的最高点。我原以为自己已经准备充分，但我的徒步同伴证明我错了。

首先，我本该穿着能排汗且防口水的装备，并预料到需要频繁停下来喂狗粮和揉肚子。我还应该意识到，我的当地向导——这些以圣伯纳德山口命名的瑞士大使（该山口与阿尔卑斯山及徒步者主保圣人蒙茹的圣伯纳德相关），所吸引的注意力将不亚于罗杰·费德勒在自家球场击球。

“我的天呐！”Barry基金会的养狗员基亚拉·马诺利在带领三只圣伯纳犬穿过聚集在起点的人群时惊呼道，人们高举着手机相机，像狗仔队一样。

自1887年以来，圣伯纳犬一直是瑞士的标志性面孔，作为国家象征，它们与百达翡丽手表、瑞士军刀和中立国地位一样具有代表性。这个特大号的犬种起源于一个朝圣者的中途站

喜剧演员莱斯利·琼斯锁定新目标：糟糕的度假租赁房

琼斯厌恶肮脏的住宿环境，这使她成为该节目及其“严厉干预”环节的天然人选。

（图片：琼斯节目中一家度假租赁房的内部景观） （图片：“Roast My Rental”节目中某房产的凉亭式设施）

作者：安德里亚·萨克斯（ANDREA SACHS）

莱斯利·琼斯走进了一家一星级的 Airbnb……

这个设定听起来像是一个《周六夜现场》（Saturday Night Live）的短剧，但实际上它是这部由该喜剧演员兼 SNL 前成员主演的 HGTV 新剧的 premise。在 7 月 24 日首播的《Roast My Rental》中，琼斯对陷入困境的度假房产进行“严厉干预”。她的租赁治疗风格是：先嘲讽，后修补；先奚落，后帮助。

“在他们把你变成娃娃之前，你就住在这种地方，”琼斯在第 3 集《林间崩溃》（Backwoods Breakdown）中说道，此时镜头扫过一个阴森的阁楼卧室，里面摆满了毛绒玩具，其中还包括一个木马的断头。

在该节目的 11 集中，每一集琼斯都会来到一家被差评困扰的加州租赁房，并以单口喜剧演员的坦率给出建设性的批评。

她在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时表示：“当我吐槽他们时，我知道那是他们的房子，但有时我确实会说得很重。”

检查结束后，节目《Help! I Wrecked My House》的主持人贾斯敏·罗斯（Jasmine Roth）及其团队有 3 天时间对房屋进行彻底改造：撕掉地毯（竟然在浴室这种鬼地方铺地毯）、更换摇摇欲坠的楼梯（滚吧，那些有破伤风风险的钉子），以及升级窗帘（为 Futuro 风格的房子安装磁吸遮阳帘）。随后是拥抱，以及五星好评。

作为一名厌恶肮脏住宿的巡演喜剧演员和演员，琼斯非常适合 HGTV 的这份工作。她租过的一些房产甚至可以单独拍一集，比如那间墙里有巨大蜂巢的房子。

琼斯回忆道，房东说“在我们到达之前那里没有蜂巢”。“我问他：‘所以，你觉得是我随身带了一个蜂巢来的吗？’”

我们请琼斯分享她的噩梦经历，以及关于如何防止你的租赁住宿变成笑话的建议。

照片并不总是能反映全部情况

琼斯不信任在线描述或照片，尤其是在经历了“苍蝇事件”之后。（是的，又是一个昆虫侵扰的故事。）

在入住洛杉矶的一家 Airbnb 后，她注意到周围有数量惊人的苍蝇在飞舞。这群苍蝇的来源？是房子前面一个在个人资料照片中未披露的垃圾桶。

她说：“苍蝇太多了，我不得不买捕蝇纸。”

为了避免意外，琼斯建议在抵达前询问“无数个问题”，例如附近有哪些企业和建筑——是学校、火车站，还是垃圾填埋场？如果房东拒绝回答你的问题，就不要预订。

卧室里不能有浴缸，也不能用彩色毛巾

在选择租赁房时，琼斯遵循一套严格的标准，她会通过仔细研究资料或直接询问房东来尝试维持这些标准。其中不可妥协的条件包括：房产必须有空调和可靠的网络。浴缸必须在浴室里，而不是卧室里。不能有地毯、私人家庭照片或陈旧的家具——这三样在第三集中全部出现了。

她说：“你为什么要用别人送给你的、没人愿意坐的旧家具？买好家具吧。”

她最不能接受的是彩色床单和毛巾。

她说：“彩色床单太恶心了。如果我去某个地方，他们用彩色床单，比如红色或粉色的床单——不，不，不。噢，伙计。快把它们撤掉！”

白色是她偏好的颜色，因为白色无法掩盖污垢。如果她怀疑租赁房提供彩色毛巾，她会自带一套。

警惕异味

进入出租屋后，琼斯会先闻闻味道。她最喜欢的味道是消毒剂。

她对香水味持谨慎态度，因为这可能在掩盖更严重的异味，比如霉味。她提醒房东，在清洗地毯时应该打开窗户让其晾干，并且绝不能将衣物和床单留在洗衣机里。

“会发霉的，”她说。

除了嗅觉测试，琼斯还会检查是否有臭虫。如果她真的起疑，她会用高温熨斗熨烫床单和床垫。

“臭虫会被热量直接吸引，”她说，“你会看到它们钻出来。”

（害虫防治公司 Orkin 的国家技术总监香农·斯凯德并不推荐这种方法。他表示，热量确实有助于杀死臭虫，但高温熨斗并不有效，且可能引发火灾。相反，他建议将床上用品放入烘干机，并将温度设为最高，烘干 30 到 45 分钟。）

清空厨房

给那些在厨房留下剩菜剩饭的房客或房东的一句话：

“恶心，恶心，太恶心了。”

虽然有些房客可能会喜欢包含未开封密封产品（如零食和冷饮）的入门礼包，但琼斯表示，厨房应清空所有食品，以防其被污染或变质。如果房东想提供一些基本调料，可以留下盐和胡椒瓶。

“这些在 99 美分商店就能买到，”琼斯说，“它们是成套包装的。”

由于不信任他人的餐具清洗技巧，她会将银质餐具再次放入洗碗机清洗，以确保万无一失。

房东，请守好界限

在加利福尼亚州威尼斯海滩的一处出租屋里，一道栅栏将她的住所与房东的房子隔开。但这并没有阻止他越界。

她说，他多次过来打招呼，邀请她外出，并在出租屋举行的一次获准派对期间给她发短信。第二天早上 6 点，她听到他在刷他们烤肉时用过的车道。

她没有留下差评，但在退房时告诉他，他的过度热情让她感到不舒服，让她觉得自己在被监视。

“这非常诡异，我再也不会租这个地方了，”她说。

与其写差评，不如发社交媒体

如果琼斯的租房体验令人失望，她不会通过评价系统投诉，而只是不再光顾。

“对我来说写差评很难，因为我会觉得不好意思，”她说，“我不想毁掉他们的生意。”

然而，如果她觉得受到了委屈，她可能会将不满发到社交媒体上，这样她既能发泄情绪，又不会直接影响房源的整体星级评分。

“我会把那堆烂事发出去。我会说：‘看看我住的这家 Airbnb，这家伙居然不给我退钱。’”

幸运的是，在那个“蜂巢屋”的案例中，房东在她向 230 万名 Instagram 粉丝分享这段经历之前就给她办理了退款。

给糟糕 Airbnb 房东的一封信

在拍摄节目期间，琼斯也体验过由那些“懂行”的房东经营的优秀 Airbnb。但她警告说，旅行者需要小心那些贪婪、懒惰且偷工减料的房东。

“很多家庭因为价格便宜会去租，但那里很肮脏，”她说，“你还不如住在一个破旧的汽车旅馆里。”

至于那些利用房客的懒汉和逃避责任者，她敦促他们“提高服务水平”。否则，他们可能会成为莱斯利·琼斯毒舌攻击的目标。

“它们真的散发出一种大熊般的气场，”巴里乐园的一名犬舍管理员说道

来自 F1 的圣伯纳犬

穿越位于瑞士和意大利交界处、险峻的宾宁阿尔卑斯山脉的大圣伯纳德山口。（旅行者的休息站正式名称为“hospice”，其含义与该词更常见的意义完全不同。）

三个世纪以来，在 1050 年建立该避难所的奥古斯丁会正典将圣伯纳犬培育为看门犬，用于营救暴露在严酷冬季环境（暴风雪、雪崩、低温症）中的旅行者。他们最著名的四足急救员是巴里（Barry），据报道，他在 19 世纪初救了大约 40 人，现在永久安息在伯尔尼的自然历史博物馆中。

1984 年，圣伯纳犬完全从这项工作中退休，被现代的旅行和救援行动所取代，包括更适合体重远轻于一桶啤酒的犬种的直升机。然而，瓦莱（Valais）分支的圣伯纳犬家族并没有变成养尊处优的宠物，而是转换了职业。

从山脉到专属博物馆

几乎每天早晨，一辆带有红色饰边的白色面包车都会停在 Barryland 的后门。这是全球唯一一座致力于瑞士犬种的主题公园。侧门滑开，一群圣伯纳犬如奔牛般冲了出来。

工作人员腰间挎着装满零食的腰包，将这些狗引导至草坪，那里连接着位于马蒂尼（Martigny，位于日内瓦以东约 85 英里）博物馆内的围栏。有些狗像熊崽一样蹦蹦跳跳；有些则拖着爪子，嗅着路面上的每一个缝隙。偶尔，会有圣伯纳犬“脱队”。

“雅典娜！雅典娜！”一名训犬员一边拍手，一边对着一只从游客入口溜进去的 7 岁“叛逆者”大喊。“她聋了，”该员工向一名站在探索犬类嗅觉、味觉、视觉和听觉展品旁的游客解释道。

巴里基金会（Barry Foundation）拥有大约 30 只狗（数量随生命周期而波动），它们是 18 世纪起直到 21 世纪初生活在山顶救助站的圣伯纳犬的直系后裔。2005 年，这家致力于保护圣伯纳犬遗产和血统的非营利组织成为了犬舍、育种计划和这些犬只的主要托管方。

“你需要大量的空间、资金和一辆大车，”该基金会的企业传播负责人安德里亚·佐林格（Andrea Zollinger）说道，“它们可不是吉娃娃。”

根据协议，教区长要求在 6 月至 9 月（徒步旅行者、骑行者、过夜游客和自驾游客的高峰期）期间，约 10 只狗返回它们的祖居地。巴里基金会征召这些小家伙参加需求量巨大的夏季徒步计划。

这些“城里”的狗住在距离救助站约 25 英里（山路盘旋）且距离 Barryland 一英里的私人寄养设施中，并在该景点轮班。从秋季到春季，它们作为一个群体生活在一起，除非作为治疗犬出差。

该基金会自 2005 年起经营一家博物馆，但在 2025 年 6 月，它开设了一个规模更大、互动性更强的爪形场馆，专门为圣伯纳犬以及那些一听到“贝多芬”就立刻想到瑞士犬而非德国作曲家的人而建。

“我们热爱圣伯纳犬，是因为它们脸上那种甜美的神情，以及它们用如此充满爱意和保护欲的眼神看着我们的方式，”Barryland 的训犬员亚历山德拉·皮亚蒂（Alexandra Piatti）说，“它们真的散发出一种‘大熊’的气场。”

走进 Barryland 的世界

Barryland 的圣伯纳犬几乎一直处于公众视野中，无论它们是在室外跑道上晒太阳，还是在隔音玻璃“箱”里休息——这些玻璃箱看起来像自然历史博物馆的展柜，但没有复杂的布景。

工作人员还会带着狗穿过上层走廊，在犬舍与现场演示室之间往返，或带领它们在园区内进行每日散步。（为了保护动物，游客在抚摸之前必须询问，并接受对方的回答。）

这些狗留在楼上，而整个一楼则是展览区，涵盖了它们的历史、英勇事迹，以及它们如何成为瑞士巧克力和烈酒公司代言模特的过程。

在一天之中，工作人员会与圣伯纳犬进行现场演示，例如丰富化活动、对易患髋关节发育不良品种至关重要的水疗课程，以及一般的“狗狗护理”讲座。

“我们的目标是维护这个品种，”皮亚蒂（Piatti）说道。

在 7 月的一个周五下午，皮亚蒂将埃登（Edène）安置在一个高台上，这只 6 岁的狗像一个 150 磅重的填充玩偶一样静止不动。皮亚蒂刷了刷它丝滑的皮毛，按摩了它的关节，检查了耳朵是否呈现出恰到好处的粉红色，擦掉了眼垢，并修整了它的颈部鬃毛——那里容易因为口水的缓慢滴落而打结。皮亚蒂还掀起埃登的嘴唇，用鸡肉味的牙膏为它刷牙。

演示结束后，在皮亚蒂的注视下，埃登走向观众，并给予了我们抚摸它头部的荣幸。

与圣伯纳犬一起徒步

该基金会在 5 月开放圣伯纳犬徒步活动的预约。这些在 7 月和 8 月每周提供五天的行程很快就被抢购一空。

在 Barryland，我遇到了一对来自纽约州北部的母女，她们说在徒步活动开售当天，她们在凌晨 2 点左右起床，将时钟调整为瑞士时间。她们心仪的日期已被订满，且网站运行不稳定，但她们坚持了下来，并预订到了 7 月初的一个名额。

这位纽约人告诉我，她的丈夫不明白她为什么要花这笔钱——同一组最多 8 人共 $432 ——去体验一种与他们在家里陪伴自己的圣伯纳犬时相似的经历。她并不认同，解释说在这些狗自己的地盘以及它们的原产地与它们一起徒步，是一个梦想的实现。

这两小时的冒险之旅从救助站博物馆（Hospice Museum）的犬舍出发，那里有 10 只狗度过夏天。我在丰富化活动时间到达，为海卡（Haïka）加油，看着它在玩具篮筐中完成扣篮。

大圣伯纳德山口（Great St. Bernard Pass）的犬只居住在分水岭的瑞士一侧，但在高海拔徒步期间，有时会溜进意大利。边境仅几步之遥，意大利人与瑞士人一样热情地接纳这些圣伯纳犬。商店和亭子里的圣伯纳犬纪念品琳琅满目，游客们在瑞士的背景前，与圣伯纳犬的木雕合影。

尽管徒步行程已售罄，但泽林格（Zellinger）还是邀请我与犬类驯养员马诺利（Manoli），以及普鲁姆（Plume）、夸利亚（Qualya）和罗安（Roanne）一起进行早晨的散步。这些狗的总重量达到了380磅，比马诺利重了几百磅。

我们沿着一条勉强能容纳两人并肩而行的湖边小径前行，但系着牵引绳的圣伯纳犬在狭窄的路径上行走得十分灵活。马诺利转向陡峭的地形，此时已解开绳索的犬只们像山羊一样优雅地应对。普鲁姆时不时地站在岩石上凝视天空，而夸利亚则会趴下要求揉揉肚子。我们喝着水壶里的水，而狗则在山涧中舔水饮用。

马诺利用法语告诉这些狗：等待，等待，等待。随后，她发出信号，它们便冲下山坡，耳朵在风中飘动，腮帮子不停地拍打。

在回程的路上，我们遇到了一群人，他们为我们的队伍让路。甚至连他们的狗也退到一边，为这些巨大的圣伯纳犬让路。

我在弗吉尼亚州西南部的一个小镇度过了四天。但这远远不够。

弗吉尼亚州阿宾登 —— 阿宾登是一个以小博大、且远超其规模的城镇。

在这个位于弗吉尼亚州西南部蓝岭山脉的小镇（人口 8,270 人）里，你可能会预期在一条沉闷的主街上看到零星分布的家庭小店，一家当地人聚集在一起聊八卦的餐厅，以及一家作为旅行者唯一选择的 B&B 民宿。

但你不会想到这里竟然拥有一个可与阿什维尔相媲美的艺术氛围，一大批经常出现在“最佳”名单上的餐厅，一家足以与南方任何一家相媲美的历史悠久的旅馆，以及一家其作品足以与百老汇或伦敦西区任何演出相竞争的著名剧院。

不，我没开玩笑。问问《南方生活》（Southern Living）杂志就知道了，它多年来一直赞美阿宾登的优点，将其评为“南方 20 个最迷人的小镇”之一；还有《旅途与休闲》（Travel + Leisure），这家杂志似乎直到今年才发现这里。（我想他们之前一直太忙于考察阿尔及利亚和亚速尔群岛了。）

我最近在阿宾登度过了四个愉快的日子，我可以为所有这些最高级评价作证。让我们先从艺术氛围开始。

山区的居民极具创造力，而在阿宾登，他们拥有展示作品的完美场所。弗吉尼亚州西南部文化中心与市场（Southwest Virginia Cultural Center and Marketplace）展出了多种媒介的艺术品。陶艺、纤维、木材、玻璃、金属、混合媒介、时尚、珠宝、拼布和彩色玻璃在这里全部展出。

该中心提供的不仅仅是供人观赏的艺术，还有供人聆听的艺术。阿宾登是“曲折之路”（Crooked Road）音乐之旅的一站，阿巴拉契亚的声音在每周四晚上以及一年中的其他随机夜晚都会在中心的舞台上响起。

来听一场非正式音乐会，你可能会听到这一代的人们口中的帕齐·克莱恩（Patsy Cline）、卡特家族（Carter Family）或斯塔特勒兄弟（Statler Brothers）——他们全部是弗吉尼亚州本土人士。

既然你现在处于艺术的心境中，可以去艺术仓库（Arts Depot）访问那些在工作室工作的艺术家，这是一个占据了 1870 年代修复铁路仓库的创意中心。然后前往威廉·金艺术博物馆（William King Museum of Art），那里的五个展厅（其中三个为轮换展览）展示了历史和当代阿巴拉契亚艺术。

若想体验另一种形式的艺术，可以看看该镇强劲的餐饮业。阿宾登拥有 34 家独立经营的餐厅，其人均餐饮店数量超过了纽约、新奥尔良和旧金山。

这不仅是数量问题，更是质量问题。《今日美国》（USA Today）将阿宾登评为南方“10 个最佳小镇美食场景”之一，因此你在选择每餐去处时都不会出错。

早餐推荐不要错过 Girl & the Raven，那里有南方风味菜肴、手工制作的糕点和小批量烘焙的咖啡。如果我只能在菜单上推荐一样东西，那就是蓬松的蓝草比司吉（Bluegrass Biscuit，在自制比司吉上放炒蛋和切达干酪碎）。

午餐可以去 Jack's 128 Pecan，这里因其南方灵感菜肴而深受当地人和游客的喜爱（一个很好的例子是 Lowcountry：鸡肉、香肠、辣椒、洋葱、卡真奶油和笔管面）。但不要吃得太饱，因为晚餐还在等着你。

晚餐的一个选择应该是 Rain 餐厅，那里将高端餐饮与休闲舒适完美结合。

在选择 butternut squash soup（奶油南瓜汤）还是 fried green tomato with green tomato chutney（炸绿番茄配绿番茄酸辣酱）作为开胃菜时，你可能会感到犹豫不决（我也犹豫了），但在选择主菜时，我毫不犹豫地选了 spice-crusted Scottish salmon with pineapple-rum glaze（香料壳苏格兰三文鱼配菠萝朗姆糖浆）。

如果您想尝试一些不同的体验，可以选择在阿宾登公社（Abingdon Commons）进行渐进式品鉴，这里汇集了多家独立店铺，如 Delta Blues BBQ、Semolina 拿波里披萨店、Tin Roof Kitchen 以及 Pakalachian——这是一个独特的概念店，融合了店主夫妇各自的烹饪背景（丈夫来自巴基斯坦，妻子来自阿巴拉契亚）。

无论您去过其他哪里，在酒馆（Tavern）度过一个夜晚都是必选项目。这座建筑建于 1779 年，最初是一家旅店，接待过诸如安德鲁·杰克逊、亨利·克莱以及法国国王路易-菲利普一世等显赫的驿车乘客。

在酒馆的酒吧（弗吉尼亚州最古老的酒吧）喝一杯，然后在壁炉旁点晚餐（或许可以尝试酒馆的招牌菜，如卡尔弗鸭胸肉或酒馆鳟鱼）。

在前往阿宾登的巴特剧院（Barter Theatre）度过夜晚之前，酒馆是一个理想的选择，任何游客都不应考虑错过这家剧院。这家获得托尼奖的剧院自称是美国运营时间最长的专业剧院。

它在 1933 年大萧条期间开业，目的是为了将饥饿的演员介绍给那些缺乏文化生活但能支付其的农民。

为了纪念其卑微的起点，该剧院一年中有一天延续这一传统，届时非易腐食品可作为入场门票。

巴特剧院一直是诸如欧内斯特·博格宁、帕特里夏·尼尔、内德·比蒂等演员职业生涯的跳板，而最著名的是格里高利·派克，据说他曾敲开邻居家的门，请求提供在演出中使用的道具。

在巴特剧院对面是另一家传奇机构：玛莎·华盛顿旅馆及水疗中心（Martha Washington Inn & Spa），被亲切地称为“玛莎”。

乔治和玛莎从未在这里睡过觉，因为这里直到 1832 年才建成，但几位总统（哈里·S·杜鲁门、吉米·卡特）和第一夫人（埃莉诺·罗斯福、伯德·约翰逊）确实在这里入住过。

这家拥有 63 间客房的旅店设有一家招牌餐厅 Sisters，以及全方位服务的水疗中心、美丽的庭院和一座私密的图书馆。然而，如果您像我一样，您最喜欢的地方可能是前廊（长度相当于纽约市的一个街区），您可以陷在摇椅里，端着赠送的晚间波特酒，享受一场舒缓的夜晚声音交响曲。

其他非常值得花时间前往的景点包括阿宾登集结地（Abingdon Muster Grounds），1780 年弗吉尼亚州的爱国者在一次关键的独立战争战役前曾在此集结（凯勒诠释中心设有展品，重点展示了弗吉尼亚州西南部在独立战争中的作用），以及位于旧铁路遗址上的 34 英里多用途弗吉尼亚爬行者小径（Virginia Creeper Trail）的一部分。

我在四天内安排了非常紧凑的行程，但仍然没能参观当地的酒庄，也没能深入逛逛像 Holston Mountain Artisans 这样的一流古董店（该店展出了 100 多位艺术家的作品），或者尝试更多那些独立餐厅。

这只告诉我一件事：阿宾登还没看到我的最后一面。

为什么在酒店地毯上赤脚行走前你可能需要三思

科学家表示，尽管酒店客房服务人员努力保持清洁，但地毯往往容易积聚细菌。 ISTOCK

作者：安德里亚·萨克斯（ANDREA SACHS）

在经历了 34 年擦拭脏污表面的工作后，一名来自 AAA 的酒店检查员对她的“白手套测试”结果早已习以为常。然而，一次“白丝袜挑战”却让她大吃一惊。

当她在酒店房间的地板上爬行时，她的连裤袜变成了令人不安的污浊色调。

“我一直跪在地上查看床底和各种物品下方，检查结束时，我的白色连裤袜上出现了棕色的圆圈，”这位来自弗吉尼亚州的检查员说道。由于工作要求她必须保持隐秘身份，她要求匿名。

电视遥控器和灯光开关经常出现在酒店房间最脏区域的名单上。但出于某种难以解释的原因，地毯往往能逃过一劫。

然而，真相会让你的脚底发痒：酒店地毯就是一个细菌陷阱。

“地毯和地毯垫可以成为鞋底灰尘、污垢、花粉、霉菌孢子、杀虫剂以及其他来自室外物质的储集池，”英国莱斯特大学临床微生物学副教授普里姆罗斯·弗里斯通（Primrose Freestone）表示。

容纳外来颗粒仅仅是一方面。日常活动——如伸展、爬行、行走、跳舞、吸尘——会搅动嵌入地毯中的微生物，并将其释放到你的赤脚或衣服上，或者释放到空气中。

这些微生物可能是无害的，也可能是健康风险，但仅就其令人作呕的程度而言，住客可能想要避免皮肤与地毯接触。

“你无法 100% 确定它是否干净，”这位酒店检查员说。每当她进入酒店房间时，总是会将室外鞋换成她的“室内拖鞋”。

酒店地毯中充满了生命

亚利桑那大学病毒学教授查尔斯·P·格尔巴（Charles P. Gerba）在关于酒店与卫生的研究中，在地毯中发现了生命。

格尔巴表示，酒店地毯上经常点缀着食物残渣、死皮细胞和灰尘，这些物质会吸引螨虫、细菌、霉菌和其他微生物。

“地毯相当脏，”格尔巴说，他从不在酒店房间或走廊里赤脚行走。

住客在房间内的习惯，如吃外卖、梳头或抓痒，都会增加地毯上的垃圾。鞋子还会带入一系列令人厌恶的物质，包括从人狗排泄场所（如人行道、公园和公共洗手间）带回的粪便。住客在从大堂到走廊再到房间的旅途中，会将这些排泄物和其他有机碎片散播开来。

虽然许多此类微生物是良性的，但包括格尔巴领导在内的多项科学研究发现，鞋底粘有潜在的危险病原体。例如，报告检测到了耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA），这是一种可导致皮肤肿块或疖子的葡萄球菌；大肠杆菌（E. coli），可导致胃痉挛和腹泻等胃肠道问题；以及艰难梭菌（C. diff），可引发结肠炎症。

患病的住客也可能污染地毯。格尔巴引用了一起可能通过酒店地毯传播的诺如病毒爆发事件。一名感染者在地毯上呕吐。客房服务人员用吸尘器清理了体液，但清洁工并没有消灭病毒，反而将其传播开来。

“几天后，他们用同一台吸尘器再次吸尘，显然这导致了另一次爆发，”格尔巴说。

如果这还不足以让你在酒店房间里彻夜难眠，那么这件事或许可以：臭虫可能会将地毯当作通往最终目的地——也就是你——的高速公路或休息站。

让孩子远离地毯

医学专家表示，对于健康的旅行者来说，因酒店地毯而生病的风险较低。但免疫系统较弱或患有呼吸道问题的人可能会比较敏感。

“行走在清洁不足的地毯上所产生的空气碎屑可能会诱发哮喘发作。对于哮喘患者，美国肺脏协会建议不要住在铺有地毯的房间，而应选择更易清洁且不易积聚过敏原或污染物的硬质地板，”弗里斯通表示。

休斯顿卫理公会医院诊断微生物学医学主任 S. 卫斯理·隆表示，儿童也可能较为脆弱，因为他们经常在地上玩耍，并将手脚放入口中，从而将细菌和病原体转移到体内。此外，因水泡破裂或其他擦伤而行走困难的旅行者，不应将开放性伤口接触酒店地毯。

“如果你的脚上有伤口，你就不应该在地毯上跑来跑去，因为你的天然免疫屏障已被破坏，感染风险会增加，”隆说道。

对于其他人来说，在最常见的感染途径中，酒店地毯的排名较低——远低于接触病患、手部卫生差以及接触受污染的水。不过，隆仍然建议不要在酒店地毯上野餐。

“只要我们让地板上的东西远离口腔，”他说，“就能在很大程度上预防疾病。”

吸尘并不等于清洁

解决方案看似简单：进入酒店房间前擦拭鞋底，并确保客房服务人员每天吸尘。

但这还不够。

首先，在垫子上擦鞋无法去除微小颗粒。这需要更深层的清洁。在格尔巴的研究中，他的团队确定，使用汰渍（Tide）洗涤剂在 12 分钟的冷水循环中清洗鞋子（在此情境中为 Rockports 品牌），并风干 24 小时，可将鞋子外部的细菌数量减少 99%。

然而，在度假期间花时间寻找自助洗衣店并不明智，而且让主力旅行鞋停用一天也不现实。一个负担较轻的选择是用抗菌湿巾给鞋子消毒，或者在房间内不穿鞋。

与此同时，标准吸尘无法吸走陷入地毯深处的碎屑。要真正清除污垢，酒店需要进行蒸汽清洁。

“挑战在于客人们对房间的使用强度很大，”全球建筑、设计和规划公司 Gensler 的负责人兼全球酒店业领导者洛里·向山表示，“而且没有足够的时间来进行这些深度清洁。”

吸尘器本身也可能成为病原体和细菌的储存库——以及传播源。格尔巴表示，沙门氏菌和大肠杆菌会附着在刷头和集尘袋上。如果配件没有定期消毒或更换，它们可能会将粪便物质和其他颗粒喷洒到整个酒店中。

在发表于《国际卫生与环境健康杂志》的一项研究中，格尔巴及其同事指出，“由于在行走或吸尘等日常活动中会产生重新气溶化现象，环境表面既可以作为空气传播病原体的储存库，也可以作为其来源。”

格尔巴的建议是：如果客房服务人员正在吸尘，不要跟在他们后面走。

更佳的地板选择

尽管地毯毫无疑问是细菌的“海绵”，但这种地板风格并不会像酒店大堂里的香烟自动售货机或公用电话那样消失。纺织材料仍然有其用途，例如降低客人的噪音。

“地毯有助于吸收声音，减少脚步声，并在高流量区域创造更安静的入住体验，”国际设计公司 DLR Group 的负责人兼酒店室内设计主管瓦伦蒂娜·卡斯特隆（Valentina Castellon）表示。“虽然垫层和声学组件的进步提高了硬质地板的性能，但在噪音控制至关重要的场所，地毯仍然发挥着重要作用。”

自 covid-19 疫情以来，在卫生意识达到顶峰之时，酒店设计师表示，采用硬质材料的趋势有所加速。卡斯特隆表示，豪华乙烯基瓷砖、瓷质砖和工程木材更易于清洁，更耐污，且不易残留异味。为了营造居家感，酒店可能会在房间各处点缀一些区域地毯，这些地毯同样是细菌陷阱，但比全铺地毯更容易清洁和更换——或者，如果你是客人，可以直接绕过或跳过去。

厌恶地毯的旅行者可以寻找采用这些压力较小之材料和装饰风格的酒店。向山（Mukoyama）表示，当她访问纽约市时，她会住在一家微型酒店的胶囊房里，那里使用的是豪华乙烯基瓷砖。许多高端酒店（如四季酒店）则采用木地板搭配装饰地毯。

与此同时，对于铺有地毯的物业，向山表示她会祭出她的秘密武器：黑袜子。

“我不穿白色的，因为说实话，我不想知道，”她说。

欧洲最高山脉——阿尔卑斯山，延伸约 750 英里，横跨八个国家，从法国的地中海沿岸一直延伸到奥地利和斯洛文尼亚。沿途，阿尔卑斯山的文化和景观提供了丰富多样且迷人的体验。

法国虽然拥有阿尔卑斯山的最高峰（勃朗峰），但对于大多数旅行者来说，瑞士的阿尔卑斯山才是旅程的高光时刻。雄伟的雪峰、瀑布飞流的峭壁和如画的湖泊，伴随着对徒步者友好的配套设施——标识清晰的步道、可以休憩的山间小屋，以及一套能让你毫不费力地登上壮丽山顶的缆车和火车系统。瑞士人既是著名的优秀工程师，又是热情的自然爱好者，他们知道如何让几乎每个人，无论体力或技巧如何，都能体验到阿尔卑斯山的惊险与刺激。

我在瑞士阿尔卑斯山最喜欢的地区是伯尔尼以南的伯尔尼高地——具体来说是劳特布龙嫩谷（Lauterbrunnen Valley），这里由三座令人敬畏的山峰冠顶：艾格峰（Eiger）、僧侣峰（Mönch）和少女峰（Jungfrau）。一条风景绝佳（在天气良好时）且轻松的徒步路线位于曼尼利兴（Männlichen）和小舍德克（Kleine Scheidegg）之间，这两个地点位于分隔劳特布龙嫩谷和格林德瓦谷（Grindelwald Valley）的高脊线上。为了在合理的时间内以最小的体力消耗完成这次徒步，我建议乘坐窄轨火车从劳特布龙嫩谷底前往温根镇（Wengen），然后乘坐缆车前往曼尼利兴。从那里开始，步道缓缓向下蜿蜒，沿途可见令人震撼的山景、悠闲的奶牛、一个完美的野餐点以及一家不错的餐厅。

在温根对岸的希尔通峰（Schilthorn）10,000 英尺的山顶上，你可以获得更高视角的山脉景观。希尔通缆车（Schilthornbahn）分三个阶段将乘客毫不费力地送往山顶。往返票价约为 150 美元，虽然价格不菲，但当你被如切割玻璃般锐利的峰峦环绕，呼吸着新鲜的山间空气时，会觉得这是欧洲最划算的交易之一。无论冬季是滑雪者还是夏季是徒步者，当你乘坐那个玻璃钢结构的“山之喜悦”气泡舱上升时，都能感受到一种愉悦的活力。

瑞士人喜欢在山顶开设餐厅，其中最受欢迎的是希尔通峰的旋转餐厅 Piz Gloria。在 1969 年向公众开放之前，这里曾是詹姆斯·邦德电影《女王陛下的秘密特勤员》中关键场景的拍摄地。如今，这里有一个有趣的 007 展览……甚至还有邦德主题的洗手间。

虽然有碎石小径从希尔通峰向下延伸，但休闲徒步者更倾向于乘坐缆车下到比尔格（Birg）站。该车站不仅是徒步的绝佳起点，而且很有趣，提供“天际线漫步”（Skyline Walk）——一个拥有透明地板并向悬崖边缘延伸的观景平台，以及“惊险漫步”（Thrill Walk）——一条长 200 码、拥有钢玻璃底地板、绳桥和隧道的趣味路线。从比尔格出发，你可以步行前往吉梅尔瓦尔德（Gimmelwald）小村庄（这里是徒步后享用啤酒的绝佳场所，或者更好的选择是留宿一晚）。

法国阿尔卑斯山同样壮丽——而且对于旅行者来说，其消费门槛较低（因为瑞士是欧洲最昂贵的国家）。我对该地区推荐的是那座

盘踞在度假小镇夏蒙尼（Chamonix）上方的山脉——靠近法国、瑞士和意大利的交界处。

在夏蒙尼，如果天气合适，没有什么比乘坐缆车前往南针峰（Aiguille du Midi）更好的选择了。这座 12,600 英尺的岩石“正午之针”高耸在城镇之上，处于勃朗峰顶的阴影之中。在这里，空气明显稀薄，即使在阳光灿烂的七月，天气也极其寒冷。从这里出发，一辆可爱的红色缆车——欧洲最高的缆车——沿着三英里的缆绳缓慢滑行，静静地悬在巨 glaciers（Géant Glacier）之上，前往位于意大利边境的赫尔布隆纳点（Helbronner Point）。

在夏蒙尼山谷之上，大南阳台（Grand Balcon Sud）的徒步路线非常迷人。作为一个徒步新手，我更倾向于那种可以乘坐缆车到达一端，沿途享受高山快感（且海拔增益极小），然后从另一端乘缆车下山的路线。这段三小时的步行之旅能让人领略到勃朗峰、冰川和野花那令人难忘的景色，而且避开了大部分前往南针峰（Aiguille du Midi）的人群。

向东走很远，在靠近奥地利边境的地方，意大利的多洛米蒂山脉（Dolomites）则提供了完全不同的阿尔卑斯风情。白云岩（Dolomite）——一种类似于石灰岩的沉积岩——赋予了这些山脉独特的形状和颜色。这个地区直到第一次世界大战后才成为意大利的一部分，其奥地利根源也因此而独特且得以保留，从饮食到能说德语和意大利语的双语当地人皆是如此。

波尔查诺市（德语名为“Bozen”）将奥地利的整洁与意大利人对生活的热爱融合在一起，它是进入多洛米蒂山脉的门户。但我更喜欢住在更高的地方，即卡斯特鲁斯（Kastelruth，意大利语为“Castelrotto”）——这里正处于山峦壮丽的中心，但没有那种夏季空荡荡的滑雪胜地之感。

这两座城镇都可以便捷地前往塞瑟阿尔姆（Seiser Alm，意大利语为“Alpe di Siusi”），那是欧洲最大的阿尔卑斯草甸。这里并非平坦，而是起伏波动，被奔腾的溪流切断，点缀着形态优美的常绿植物，是一个管理良好的国家公园。这里拥有穿梭巴士、维护良好的小屋、步道和缆车，以及多洛米蒂山峰的壮丽景色和大量的奶牛——这些奶牛每年产出 200 万 加仑的牛奶。无论你偏好何种强度的体力活动，这里都有适合你欣赏阿尔卑斯美景的徒步路线（或躺椅）。

无论你探索的是哪个角落——瑞士、法国、意大利或更远的地方——阿尔卑斯山提供了一场体验的交响曲，能让文化、历史和自然爱好者获得无尽的愉悦。对我而言确实如此。

玩法指南

武士数独（Samurai Sudoku）的规则与每日漫画版块中常见的流行数独谜题相同。

这些数独谜题出现在每日漫画版块中。与标准数独一样，武士版本不需要数学计算，只需要逻辑、推理……以及钢铁般的意志。目标是用数字 1 到 9 填充每一列、每一行和每个 3X3 的方格，且数字不能重复。武士数独的特别之处在于，出现在重叠方格中的数字必须同时适用于两个谜题。

给初学者的一个建议：不要一次只专注于一个网格。在解题过程中要时刻留意整个谜题，因为在一个网格中填入一个数字可能会为你提供另一个网格的线索。需要理解的关键点是：每个武士数独是一个整体谜题，而不是五个仅仅是相互重叠的独立数独谜题。偶尔有人声称，例如“右下角”的 9X9 谜题有不止一种解法。确实，它可能如此，但整个谜题只有一种解法。绝不要尝试猜测！欲了解更多技巧，请访问 http: / www.djape.net / sudoku / wp / ?p=144。

近距离观察这项惊人的中国古代工艺杰作，它在地下埋藏了 2,000 多年。

一位皇帝

1974 年，中国的考古学家开始了一项巨大的挖掘工程，旨在发掘估计 8,000 件等身大小的兵马俑（陶土像），这些陶像埋在一位名为嬴政的强大统治者的陵墓附近。嬴政因征服敌对王国并在公元前 221 年将现在中国的大部分地区统一在自己的统治之下而闻名。他自称秦始皇，意为“第一个主权皇帝”。考古学家发现的这些陶像就是兵马俑，它们被制造出来是为了在死后世界守护嬴政。这是一个巨大的工程，需要数千名工人工作数十年。每个陶像都是由单独制作的陶土部件组装而成，然后经过烧制并以极高的精度安置。让我们来看看这项卓越的古代工艺杰作中一些最令人印象深刻的特点。

墙壁 坑内的隔墙旨在承受上方土壤的重量，防止士兵被压碎。它们还将士兵分成了不同的军队单位。

动物 600 多匹陶马与军队一同伫立。 在陵墓建筑群的其他地方，考古学家还发现了雕刻的动物以及被祭祀的动物骨骸。

你知道吗？

兵马俑是 1974 年当地农民在挖井时发现的。

彩绘 这些陶像由手工塑造并涂上鲜艳的颜色。现在大多数已经失去了颜色，但在其中一些陶像上仍能看到痕迹。

平民 大多数陶像是士兵，但有些被制作成官员、表演者和杂技演员——目的是在死后世界服务并娱乐秦始皇。

士兵 军队的大部分由士兵组成，包括弓箭手、车夫、步兵和后卫。他们携带弓、矛和剑——其中一些在军队被发现时仍然锋利！

面孔 至少 8 种不同脸型的发现表明，当时使用了几种基础的面部模具。随后，艺术家添加了个体细节，使得没有两张脸看起来完全一样。

兵马俑

专家认为，秦始皇在 40 年间雇佣了多达 700,000 名工人来建造他庞大的陵墓建筑群，包括他认为能在死后世界保护他的兵马俑。建造规模巨大——发掘规模同样巨大！考古学家至今仍在对该遗址进行挖掘。为了让人们感知其

Military leaders wary of extended Iran operations

ASSESSMENT WARNS HEGSETH OF PERILS

Prolonged conflict risks weakening U.S. elsewhere

BY ALEX HORTON AND TARA COPP

Several U.S. military leaders have advised Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that prolonging large-scale operations against Iran is unsustainable and risks weakening their ability to confront threats elsewhere, including the U.S. homeland, according to people familiar with a recent assessment prepared for the Pentagon chief.

The warnings — detailed for Hegseth by the heads of the Army, Navy and Air Force and the four-star commanders overseeing U.S. operations throughout Europe,

Asia and Latin America — appear in the Aug. 14 edition of the Secretary of Defense Orders Book (SDOB), these people said. They described the assessment to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity because the document is classified.

The SDOB, typically produced twice monthly, outlines the worldwide availability of U.S. warships, aircraft, personnel and weapons systems. It reflects the president's priorities for the force, which are carried SEE IRAN ON A6

Tariffs threaten this Native tribe's way of life

Ranchers, taxi drivers and campsite owners on the Blackfeet reservation have endured two years of financial losses. They worry a new trade war with Canada will make things even worse.

BY HANNAH NATANSON

BLACKFEET INDIAN RESERVATION, MONTANA — The July day dawned warm and dry, like it was designed for haying, but by midafternoon, farmer Wayne Smith had yet to cut a single blade of grass.

His baler had broken that morning, and as soon as he fixed it, his tractor refused to run. He knew what would make the machine go again — a pointed metal fitting the size of a half-smoked cigar — but he also knew that he didn't have one and, because of President Donald Trump, the part would be hard to find.

Now he was sitting in his pick-up truck, tapping on the wheel and thinking about how an \$18 piece of metal was holding up work on a field of untouched hay worth \$5,200. He was waiting for a call from his longtime ranching partner and fellow Blackfeet Nation member, Buzz Momberg, who had gone to check a local store. The phone vibrated and Smith answered before it could ring. "Hey, Buzz," Smith said, hoping he had good news.

He didn't.

“S---,” Smith said. He tapped the wheel again.

He knew one store that would definitely have the fitting: Rocky Mountain Equipment, a dealership 80 miles north across the Canadian border. Unlike American stores, which prioritized

John Deere, Canadian suppliers tended to stock Case IH parts. Rocky Mountain had been his go-to for nearly 30 years.

That changed in early 2025, when Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum from Canada, among a slew of other items, arguing the fees were necessary to combat the flow of illegal drugs across the northern border and to rectify trade imbalances. A Supreme Court ruling later struck down some tariffs against Canada and Mexico, but left in place taxes on the two metals. Last week, less than two months after Smith's tractor broke, the president announced additional 50 percent tariffs on a wide variety of Ca nadian goods after trade talks broke down. In response, the prime minister ordered “dollar for dollar” levies on hundreds of American products, including steel, aluminum and agricultural equipment.

Smith, 72, couldn't keep track of what was happening 2,000 miles away in Washington. He just knew that parts bought in Canada now could cost hundreds of dollars more. And his reliable Canadian customers stopped buying his grain because of the tariffs their country had imposed in retaliation. He had no cushion in his budget to absorb the twin blows.

He was one of many Blackfeet SEE TARIFFS ON A10

Trump-touted gas not paid for, supplier claims

Lawsuit alleges chain that slashed its prices is nearly \$4 million in arrears

tions in the Freedom Fuel Net- work.

A chain of gas stations that lowered prices last month in response to President Donald Trump's call for cheaper fuel sparked a mystery over how it was able to sell at such a discount.

A new lawsuit offers a possible answer: A fuel supplier alleges that it was not paid for gas that was ultimately delivered to sta-

Mansfield Oil Company of Gainesville claimed in a federal lawsuit this month that New Jersey businessman Syed Kazmi, and his company, KRSM, took more than a million gallons of fuel from a terminal in Pennsylvania between late May and early July — nearly \$4 million worth — but never paid for it.

Some of that fuel was supplied to at least 10 Pennsylvania gas stations listed on the Freedom Fuel Network website, Urs Broderick Furrer, a lawyer for the Georgia-based Mansfield, told The Washington Post.

"KRSM was able to sell such fuel for such low prices and garner such publicity because it nev-SEE FUEL PRICES ON A4

With AI's rise, the Fed confronts a powerful new economic force

Officials regularly debate the effect of the technology on the U.S. economy, a Washington Post analysis found

BY SHIRA OVIDE

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh promised to bust inflation in his first major speech since his nomination by President Donald Trump, but he also lavished attention on a new focus for the Fed: artificial intelligence.

“We’ve come to a hinge point in history” because of AI, Warsh said on Friday, adding that the technology could turbocharge economic growth.

Warsh's remarks followed a recent shift in the Fed's views on AI, which the powerful financial institution treated largely as a bit player since ChatGPT's 2022 debut sent unprecedented geysers of cash gushing through the U.S. economy.

As recently as last fall, AI seldom came up in public summaries of Fed policy meetings, where officials discuss how to steer the U.S. economy, according to a Washington Post analysis. This year, the technology is playing a starring role, with dozens of mentions of AI and its ripple effects on jobs, economic growth, the cost of living and the risks of financial meltdowns.

The surge in the Fed's attention to AI shows the technology's growing importance in matters central to Americans, policymakers and global business. In 2026, AI “is the story of everything,” said Claudia Sahm, a former Federal Reserve economist who is now chief economist at the investment firm New Century Advisors.

This is how that happened at the Fed, one of the world's most influential institutions.

AI who?

The Fed's policymaking group, the Federal Open Market Committee, meets eight times a year to discuss the economy and financial markets, and to vote on the direction of interest rates. Its decisions influence how much you pay for a mortgage or a car loan, prices at the grocery store, your investment portfolio, how much businesses are hiring and more.

The meetings are secret, with the public minutes offering a manicured look inside the consequential gatherings. Elected officials, Wall Street analysts and business titans analyze the summaries and Fed officials' public

Coaches adapt to CTE concerns in youth football

After declining for a decade, participation in tackle football has started to tick back up, thanks to safety changes

After a decade of decline, high school football participation has rebounded since the pandemic.
WILLIAM GLASHEEN/USA TODAY NETWORK/REUTERS

BY ALBERT SAMAHA

Coach John Hart's high school football practices look a lot different than they did 15 years ago. They contain no tackling to the ground and rarely last longer than 90 minutes. If John Hart from 15 years ago saw John Hart's practices today, "I'd probably kick my own butt," Hart, head coach at defending Indiana state champion Brownsburg High School, said this week.

Hart, who's 64, played and coached for decades under a trusted set of principles that, in recent years, suddenly threatened to doom the sport, as scientific evidence and shocking tragedies revealed the costs of football's violence. Leagues, from Pop Warner to the NFL, have changed rules to eliminate the most violent collisions. Coaches take concussions more seriously. Players train to avoid helmet-to-helmet hits. Local governments in some states have passed laws limiting full-contact practice time. The sport's survival may hinge on better protecting players, and anyone resistant to the changes now risks falling behind.

"The old school in you thinks you need more tackling, then you start finding out there's a lot better ways of teaching it without full contact," Hart said. "Most injuries happen in practice, and SEE FOOTBALL ON AS

What Lake Ontario's sailors think of Trump's name change

A person lies on a beach by docked boats on Lake Ontario in Toronto on Thursday.

Howie Colt, captain and founder of Gone Sailing Adventures, a charter sailing company in Toronto, calls the change a “nonissue.”
GONE SAILING ADVENTURES

President's rebrand is met mostly with shrugs. 'It's a nonissue,' one said.

BY RACHEL LERMAN

The name change was the talk of the docks on both shores of Lake Ontario this week. But neither American nor Canadian sailors seemed to be taking it all that seriously.

"It's a nonissue for us, other than watching the memes and enjoying the humor," said Howie Colt, captain and founder of Gone Sailing Adventures, a charter sailing company in Toronto.

Colt plies the waters off the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario, which is the easternmost of five Great Lakes and the latest body of water to be rebranded by President Donald Trump. On Thursday, amid escalating tensions between the U.S. and Canada over Trump's aggressive tariff policies, the president signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America.

“Canada has been ripping us off for a long time on trade, very sadly,” Trump said in signing the order, which recalled his decision last year to recast the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

Then, as now, the durability of the move seemed to be in some doubt.

“Nobody here will ever call it anything but Lake Ontario,” said Brent Bochek, captain and fishing guide at his charter company, Fish NV, in St. Catharines, Ontario, on the Canadian side near Niagara Falls.

"It's going to be Lake Ontario until the day I die. In my mind, anyway," said Joe Kyle, captain of Onacona Charters, on the U.S. side near Rochester, New York.

The charter fishing and yacht companies sailing the lake's deep waters are among those most likely to be affected by the name change and its fallout, if any. Often staffed by boat captains who have been fishing or giving tours for decades, they rely on tourists from both the U.S. and Canada. And overall tourism between the countries has been a bit rocky of late.

Tourism from Canada into the

U.S. took a nosedive last year after Trump began slapping tariffs on the close U.S. ally and talking about wanting to make Canada the 51st state. Travel by Canadians into the U.S. fell 25 percent in 2025, Canadian government data shows. It recovered slightly this summer, but remains far be-

low 2024 levels.

So far, Trump's “Lake America” order has not triggered mass cancellations, said Amra Durakovic, head of communications for Flight Centre Travel Group Canada, the local branch of the international travel agency. But Canadians are increasingly asking to avoid the United States, she said.

July bookings of Canadians traveling to the U.S. were up 5.7 percent compared to a dismal 2025, the company's data shows, but they remain 39 percent below 2024 before Trump returned to the White House.

"It's sort of showing that political sentiment is now part of the travel decision in a very interesting way," Durakovic said.

At least one U.S. business is seeing an unexpected boost from hubbub. At Lake Ontario Press in Rochester, a small screen printing business, owner Matt Saxon said a couple hundred people have expressed interest in an event this weekend to print Lake Ontario designs on their T-shirts.

So far, no one has requested a Lake America design, he said.

Back on the water, Dan Farris, co-owner of Toronto Harbour Tours in that Canadian city, called the name change a “sad reflection” of the deteriorating relationship between the two countries. “It’s representative of a breakdown in a relationship that we take really seriously and really value,” Farris said.

Fortunately, he said, the official hostility so far has not seeped into the friendly interactions his tour guides have with tourists every day. Most view the Lake America thing as a joke, Farris said, adding that he expects his humorous guides to work it into their tour patter.

"It is what it is: it's political," agreed Nick Garbowski, captain and owner of Rochester Yacht Charters on the U.S. side of the border. Garbowski said he's been getting a lot of feedback about it from dock employees, but doesn't plan to change his advertising or how he refers to the lake unless "Lake America" really catches on.

“Nobody’s really taking it too seriously until we have a reason to,” Garbowski said.

Nearby, Dan DeGeorge, captain of Double D Sportfishing in Rochester, said he sees the name change as an opportunity. He has already launched an advertisement in red, white and blue encouraging people to come fish on Lake America.

Still, even DeGeorge doesn't think the name will stick forever.

“Deep down inside,” he said, “this is always still going to be Lake Ontario.”

Justices last year allowed ban to move forward on a temporary basis

The case before the Supreme Court involves 28 transgender service members.

BY JULIAN MARK

The Trump administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court to allow the U.S. military to discharge roughly two dozen transgender service members in a case that could decide the constitutionality of President Donald Trump's transgender troop ban.

The high court could decide to hear the case in the term that begins in October.

"The importance of the issue lies in what it concerns: the authority of the federal government to determine who may serve in the Nation's armed forces," Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in a petition to the high court.

Soon after taking office in January 2025, Trump signed an executive order to remove transgender troops from the military, saying that “adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life.”

The Supreme Court in May 2025 allowed the ban to move forward on a temporary basis, as litigation plays out in lower courts. The case now before the high court involves 28 transgender service members who argue the ban violates the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection. The outcome could decide whether that group of troops may continue to serve, but also may affect the status of other transgender service members. There are around 4,000 service members diagnosed with gender dysphoria, The Washington Post has previously reported.

Twenty-five of the troops challenging the ban are on administrative leave, said Shannon Minter, legal director at the National Center for LGBTQ Rights, one of the organizations representing the plaintiffs. Three of the service members are currently serving.

"The Trump administration wants the Supreme Court to rush in and bless the expulsion of proven, decorated soldiers before a single court has issued a final judgment," Minter said in a statement.

In June, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that the ban likely violates the plaintiffs' equal protection rights.

The ban “appears to be driven by the bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group: persons who identify as transgender,” Judge Robert L.

Wilkins, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, wrote for the panel's 2-1 majority.

Wilkins added the policy is “both arbitrary and based upon animus.”

The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to reverse that decision, saying the D.C. circuit erred in its constitutional analysis.

Sauer wrote in Friday's petition that “any attempt to infer animus from references to ‘honesty,’ ‘humility,’ ‘integrity,’ and ‘false gender identity’ is mis-

placed."

During a speech at the Iowa State Fair in August, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used a transphobic slur when referring to military policies, according to a video posted by CNN.

The ban was one of a handful of policies by the Trump administration targeting transgender people. In his first days in office, Trump signed an executive order declaring that there are only two sexes — male and female — while decrying “gender ideology.” That outlook has affected enforcement of discrimination claims by transgender workers and has prompted probes into colleges for allowing transgender athletes to compete in competitive sports.

The Supreme Court in June upheld state bans on transgender athletes playing on women's sports teams and, in March, struck down a Colorado ban on “conversion therapy” for gay and trans minors. They were the among the latest setbacks at the court for transgender people.

At Dollywood, a chance meeting led to their deepest friendships

‘This is where I feel most at home,’ one of the friends said as the group reunited in East Tennessee after the death of the legendary country singer and philanthropist

BY BRADY DENNIS

SEVIERVILLE, TENN. — The reunion began at dusk here, outside the small courthouse square that had become an impromptu shrine to hometown legend Dolly Parton.

Robbie Thompson had flown in from Orlando. Garner Byram Jr. had raced south from Waynesboro, Virginia. Libby Rollf had rushed in from Kansas City, Kansas. Others made their way from Dayton, Ohio; Asheville, North Carolina; and elsewhere in Tennessee and Florida.

“We gravitated here because we need each other now,” said Aaron Hamby, 30, of South Carolina, about what drew them once again to East Tennessee, where most of them had met years earlier.

Those who had arrived this Wednesday evening carried bouquets of roses, wore T-shirts from past Dolly concerts and hugged the way old friends do. They were young and not-so-young, straight and gay and transgender, married and unmarried. They work in health care and education, in government and in the airline industry. They have varying political views and economic means.

But for all their differences, the small group had forged a bond over time that runs far deeper than the music. Their shared love of Parton had given them something precious: a community some had never expected to find.

“We’ve become like a family. A Dolly family,” said Thompson, 44. “We like this family more than some of us like our own families.”

On a week when much of the nation remembered Parton as someone who embraced people of all stripes and transcended so much that divides the country, here was a living manifestation of her power to unite. A group of far-flung souls who had first met in line on a long-ago day at Dollywood and forged a bond deepened by time.

Many of them have traveled the nation and the world together to see Parton, from London to Red Rocks in Colorado. Their reunions have unfolded in South Dakota, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa and all over the East Coast. They have come to nearly every opening day at the Dollywood theme park, spent too much money on travel, burned too much vacation time — and had a blast doing it.

"We paid for her last tour bus, honey," Byram, 42, joked.

Their faithfulness to Dolly has sometimes strained relationships in their daily lives. "My ex told me we broke up because Dolly came between us," he said, with little remorse.

Fifteen years on, even as their numbers have grown and changed, this small group has remained loyal to their patron saint — and to one another.

Now, they had gathered again to celebrate her luminous life, to grieve her passing and to give thanks for bringing them together.

“This is where I feel most at home,” Thompson said. “Here with my people.”

'They just show up for you'

There was Dolly's celestial voice, of course. And her soul-filled mountain music. But for many of the friends, there was something else that drew them to her decades ago.

when few others in their lives understood why they were so drawn to her presence.

“I did it for so many years alone,” Brittany Mixon, 51, of Pensacola, Florida, who also was there as a 10-year-old the day the park opened in 1986.

About 15 years ago, the group began to discover one another after several of them met by chance outside an event where Dolly was greeting fans at the park.

you can call any one of them," said Carrie Reinig, 52, who lives in Ohio. "We celebrate each other's successes and support each other when things are crappy. ... They are legit family."

Could those deep ties weaken now that Parton, their north star, has died? Could the thread that held them together all these years fray?

“I don’t feel that part will change,” Reinig said. “If anything, we will probably need each other more.”

“This time is different. ... Usually we are riding high,” said Jonathan Brashier, 52, of Greenville, South Carolina, who has been coming here since the 1980s.

That day, a sadness lingered in the room, even though the friends were comforted by one another's presence.

“I always imagined we’d be together on a night like this,” Brashier said.

They talked about the plans they had to see Dolly, the music and memories that now will not happen.

"How many of us had tickets to Las Vegas?" one asked of a planned residency there that Parton had previously postponed and then canceled altogether.

Every hand went up.

They talked about the countless times they met Parton at Dollywood, about the scores of shows they attended — for some, more than two dozen on one tour alone. They laughed at the outrageous sums some spent on front-row concert tickets or meet-and-greets or traveling to distant shows.

They vowed to stay close, whatever lies ahead.

"The biggest gift [Dolly] gave us is the friendship and relationships with each other," said Hamby. "Now that the inevitable has happened, that's what is going to carry on ... these bonds we share."

At the end of the night, there were hugs and I-love-yous, and posing for pictures together in their many colors of Dolly shirts.

Outside, in the warm August night, the only sound came from the hum of cicadas. A full moon hung over the Smoky Mountains, its light shimmering off the Little Pigeon River.

'We will always love you'

Early Friday, in the light of a clear blue morning, the group of friends drove down the mountainside and headed north toward Sevierville.

In Pigeon Forge, they passed the glittering entrance to Dollywood, where they planned to return later in the day to visit the place they had first met and carved out so many happy memories. It would be healing, they thought, to commune with fellow mourners pouring into town from Georgia, Ohio, Texas, Alabama, New York and even Canada.

On they drove, past so many flags at half-staff. Past the pancake houses and souvenir shops, past the dinner theaters and mini-golf courses. Past signs that proclaimed “We will always love you, Dolly” outside Andy’s Frozen Custard and the Suds car wash and the Sonic drive-in.

Outside the county courthouse, they gathered once again in front of the statue of Dolly, where dozens of pink buckets had been set up to hold the endless flowers and notes from fans.

They carried bouquets of yellow roses and colorful cardboard butterflies. Thompson wore a shirt that read, "In Dolly We Trust." Byram slid on his sunglasses to shield his tears.

“I woke up heavier today than yesterday,” Brashier said to no one in particular.

"How is it getting worse?" Reinig said.

They walked together to the statue, which they had visited so many times on happier days, and stood with their arms wrapped around one another, heads on shoulders, in silence.

After a few minutes, Byram asked a stranger nearby if he could snap a photo of the group of friends in front of Dolly.

"You want the whole family in there?" the man asked.

Yes, Byram said. Every last one.

“Acceptance,” Thompson said Thursday on the porch of a cabin the group had rented together near Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Growing up gay and feeling out of place in small-town Virginia, he was struck by Parton's insistence that it was okay to be who you are, no matter what.

The gift she gave

“That message resonated with me from a very early age,” he said.

It was much the same for Byram, who first saw Dolly with his parents in the early 1990s.

“She was her own unique person, so you could be, too,” he said. “You could tell that she didn’t judge anybody.”

That message made its way to Rollf, 50, who as a girl in Kansas remembers listening to Parton in her father's blue Chevy truck and becoming obsessed with her music.

“I was a very overweight child,” she said. “And she was just so accepting. She was just a ray of sunshine.”

As childhood gave way to adulthood, they and others in the group made numerous pilgrimages to Dollywood, even

They began traveling together to shows around the country and returning to Pigeon Forge almost anytime Parton was scheduled to appear at Dollywood. They embraced Rollf's mother, who often traveled with the group, dubbing her the "Dolly Mama."

Over time, they found, their friendships only deepened.

When Byram's mother died, Thompson and Rollf traveled unannounced to be with him in Virginia.

“They just show up for you,” he said. “It would be just absolutely miserable without them. … My life is totally different because of them.”

When Rollf's mother died unexpectedly years later, numerous members of the group showed up at her door in Kansas the next day.

“I was never alone,” she said. They call one another on birthdays and even email Shoney’s gift cards. They send each other Christmas presents. They commiserate over break-ups and job changes. They maintain an endless text chain, and always check on one another by noon each day.

"If you are having a bad day,

Thursday evening in the mountainside cabin, more than a dozen Dolly-loving friends gathered to laugh and shed tears, share old photos and reminisce about their many encounters with the singer.

Some cars in the driveway had Dolly-themed license tags and bumper stickers with phrases such as “Dolly vibes only.” At least two attendees had Dolly’s signature tattooed on their arms.

Inside, a Dolly-branded peach cobbler baked in the oven. The living room television was playing a Dolly marathon — the movie “Steel Magnolias,” a documentary of her career, and a replay of her 50 $^{th}$ anniversary performance at the Grand Ole Opry. Virtually everyone in the room had attended that show.

"How are you doing?" one person asked Kimberly Baker-Boyle, 55, who moved to East Tennessee from Maryland with her husband and daughters more than a decade ago, mostly to be closer to the Dollyverse.

“You know, it’s like losing your mother,” she said, sighing.

Supplier claims in lawsuit that Trump-touted ‘Freedom Fuel’ was not paid for

HANNAH BEIER/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

In July, the network began charging \$3.47 per gallon, about 40 cents a gallon below market prices, which had spiked during the Iran war.

er paid Plaintiff for such fuel," the lawsuit says.

Paul Toner, a lawyer representing Kazmi and KRSM Inc., told The Post that his clients deny the allegations. “This is an account dispute over fuel invoices, mispriced by Mansfield,” he said.

A White House official told The Post the Trump administration has had “zero contact or dealings” with Kazmi and KRSM Inc.

The Freedom Fuel Network was legally formed on June 25, when Randy Brown and Yoni Gontownik submitted incorporation documents to the state of Delaware. Brown is a special-teams coach for the Baltimore Ravens and has called himself “a proud Trump supporter.” Gontownik is a New Jersey-based investor who previously worked for the energy and commodity group Mercuria. Neither responded to requests for comment.

In early July, the network began charging \$3.47 per gallon — in honor of Trump, the nation's 47th president, Trump said at the time — at 25 stations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. That was about 40 cents a gallon below market prices, which had spiked due to the Iran war, The Post previously reported.

“A VERY smart Retailer, located throughout the Northeast, is stepping up” to lower gas prices, Trump wrote on Truth Social in early July. “This Retailer is taking the lead, and others should follow. They are doing this because they love the U.S.A.”

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Aug. 19, cites the publicity Freedom Fuel stations received because of their low prices but does not name the network or stations as defendants or accuse them of wrongdoing. It also does not explain Kazmi's relationship to Freedom Fuel or specify what portion of the \$4 million worth of gasoline went to stations within the network.

Syed Kazmi's brother, Shamikh, is listed as the facility operator for several of the Freedom Fuel stations, according to public records.

Trump's promotion of the stations set off a wave of news coverage citing analysts who questioned the sustainability of Freedom Fuel's prices.

Since then, prices at the stations have risen but remained below their competitors' in early August, according to a previous Post analysis. The network has also expanded, adding four additional stations to bring the total number to 29.

The Mansfield lawsuit, reported earlier by Politico, is the latest in a string of legal claims against the Kazmi brothers in recent years. They and their companies have been sued more than a dozen times for alleged financial misconduct, including fraud and unpaid debts. In several cases, they drew default judgments after failing to respond to the charges, court records show.

In 2021, Shamikh Kazmi was accused of stealing more than \$667,000 worth of fuel over 10 days from a supplier. Last November, a judge ordered him to repay the supplier in a default

judgment.

KRSM Inc. picked up around 150 loads of fuel from Mansfield's supply terminal in Twin Oaks, Pennsylvania, between May 21 and July 7, the suit claims. KRSM had been a Mansfield client since 2022 and took the fuel under a commercial credit agreement that required payment at a later date.

The Twin Oaks terminal is within 35 miles of the vast majority of the Freedom Fuel Network stations.

When Mansfield began to try to draw payments from a KRSM bank account on July 27, the bank told the fuel supplier that Kazmi's company had refused to release the money, the lawsuit alleges. Kazmi subsequently promised to pay Mansfield for the fuel during multiple phone calls between then and Aug. 10, the suit alleges.

In a declaration filed on Aug. 25, Kazmi wrote that he “did not agree that the amounts Mansfield demanded were correct or owing.” He and his attorney claimed there were discrepancies within the invoices, including charges that appeared to have been double counted.

On Friday, the district judge overseeing the case ordered Kazmi and KRSM to maintain at least \$2.75 million in a bank account, according to court records.

statements with the ferocity of teenagers interpreting group text chats.

Fed meeting minutes don't explicitly mention AI in 2023 and early 2024. One passage shows the Fed was noticing its effects without name-checking the technology. (The Post added the bolding.)

Translation: The stock market went up a lot in 2023, mostly because of the stock prices of AI-related tech giants such as Amazon, Meta, Microsoft and the computer chip maker Nvidia. (Jeff Bezos, Amazon's executive chairman, owns The Post.)

Enthusiasm for AI's potential to send future corporate profits into the stratosphere continues to push up stock markets around the world.

The minutes of the Fed meetings don't necessarily reflect all that officials care about or discuss. Some Fed officials have talked about AI in speeches and news conferences, for example.

The first explicit mention of AI in summaries of the crucial meetings at the heart of the Fed's mission didn't come until spring 2024, about a year and a half after the debut of ChatGPT.

Translation: AI might help businesses crank out more stuff for the same work hours, which is essential to lift the U.S. economy. Maybe AI will create more start-ups, which could be good for the economy and jobs. We're not sure, though.

The discussion previewed one of the hottest debates about AI. More than two years later, many economists say AI has probably not yet made businesses more productive across the country, but it's difficult to know for sure.

The Fed becomes AI-curious

Sahm said AI's effects on the Fed's twin goals — keeping employment high and consumer prices in check — weren't glaringly obvious last year.

But by the middle of 2025, AI had set off an unmissable economic earthquake.

Leading technology companies started to spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on big-ticket projects including building and outfitting data centers stuffed with AI-calculating computer chips. The flurry of spending prompted comparisons to the dot-com bubble and became the talk of the financial world.

This past fall, Fed officials started gabbing about this titanic AI spending, the meeting minutes show. By late in the year, they were also debating whether

AI could deliver a dream economic scenario.

Translation: Some of us think AI will make businesses so productive that the economy can keep growing without inflation getting out of control.

Warsh and Trump believe AI can produce a miraculous combination of a fast-growing economy, workers who can do more with less effort, and lower consumer prices.

For now, though, AI hasn't produced the productivity miracle, and the enormous spending to build AI computer hubs is making inflation worse, said Michael Strain, an economist at the American Enterprise Institute, a public policy think tank.

Spicy AI debates

This year, AI references at Fed policy meetings exploded as attendees discussed what the technology might be doing to the economy, the cost of living,

Translation: Uh oh. Is this AI thing a bubble? AI-related stocks have gone totally bananas, and tech companies are borrowing tons of money from every nook and cranny to afford their fancy AI computers and data centers.

“Fed officials rightly are nervous that AI poses some real risks to the economy,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics.

Translation: The central bankers are fighting.

How much AI is contributing to inflation is one of the most important debates over the economy, and one of the Fed's most contentious. AI companies are spending so much on AI computer equipment and building AI data centers that it is resulting in higher prices, including for electronics such as Amazon Kindle e-readers, Nintendo Switch video game systems and Mac computers.

Sahm said the big question for the Fed is whether AI-related inflation is measurably piling onto five-plus years of already-spiraling prices that are wearing down Americans. (After Warsh's speech Friday, futures market activity indicated that traders expected the Fed to boost interest rates next month to try to bring down inflation.)

In his speech Friday, Warsh asked a string of questions about what AI might do to the U.S. economy and Americans' financial well-being. Would AI raise living standards for U.S. workers or crush them? When might businesses see a payoff from AI?

But he wasn't ready to offer answers.

States' fight over an ICE agent could open a new political battleground

Minnesota wants Texas to extradite officer charged in shooting of immigrant

BY JEREMY ROEBUCK

An ongoing standoff between Texas and Minnesota over the extradition of a federal agent charged with shooting an immigrant in Minneapolis this year has exposed a legal gray area that some experts worry could turn previously routine requests for state-to-state prisoner transfers into yet another political battleground.

This past week, a federal judge refused to order Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to send U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Christian Castro to Minnesota to stand trial for the shooting, which occurred during the Trump administration's immigration enforcement crackdown in that state early this year.

Federal law and the U.S. Constitution grant little discretion to governors to deny requests to hand over prisoners charged with crimes in other states. But Abbott insists that a court order enforcing Minnesota's extradition warrant would be premature, as he has not made a final decision on whether to honor it.

Minnesota authorities contend that Abbott, a Republican, is purposely dragging his heels in a way he has not done for any other extradition request. They argue that he has publicly injected politics into what should be a straightforward legal action by saying at a recent news conference that he would not honor the extradition request until Minnesota's Democratic leaders "acknowledge their fault" in incidents of fraud involving public services.

While U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. expressed doubt in his ruling this week that Abbott had any legal grounds to ultimately deny Minnesota's request, the judge concluded that he had no power to intervene while the governor says he is still weighing the extradition.

“Minnesota cannot premise its causes of action on the allegation that Governor Abbott may violate [laws governing interstate extraditions] in the future,” wrote Rodriguez, an appointee of President Donald Trump. “It must prove that a violation has already occurred.”

By delaying a decision on Castro, Abbott is exploiting a loophole in interstate extradition law, said Ethan Lowens, a fellow at the University of Pennsylvania law school.

Statutes governing state-to-state extraditions set no time limit on how long a governor can take to officially make up his or her mind, potentially allowing Abbott to defer his decision indefinitely. Castro, meanwhile, was released from a Texas jail on Thursday under a state law saying fugitives held for possible extradition can be detained for only 90 days. Minnesota officials now say they fear he will escape justice by fleeing to Mexico.

Abbott is setting a dangerous precedent, Lowens said. “There are tens of thousands of extraditions that happen without controversy every year, and we don’t usually hear about these because they just, well, happen,” he said. “It would be quite harmful to the general system for extraditing fugitives if these became political footballs.”

Castro's case is not the first to spark political friction, as legal disputes over issues like abortion, transgender medical treatment and immigration increasingly divide red and blue states.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, famously said he would refuse to extradite Trump to New York when the then-former president was indicted on state charges tied to “hush money” payments to an adult-film actress. Trump ultimately defused that conflict by surrendering to New York authorities himself.

In recent years, California and New York — both led by Democrats — have rejected requests from Louisiana officials to extradite doctors whom they accuse of mailing abortion pills to women in their state. But the doctors do not live or practice in Louisiana, and federal law grants more discretion to governors in deciding whether to extradite fugitives who did not set foot in the states where they are charged with crimes.

Abbott's tactic of delaying Castro's extradition, rather than outright denying it, has thrown the extradition issue into its sharpest relief yet and could set a pattern for battles to come between the country's increasingly polarized states.

Castro, a 52-year-old ICE agent stationed in Harlingen, Texas, was among the hundreds of officers temporarily detailed to Minnesota as part of the Trump administration's immigration enforcement surge.

On Jan. 14, while attempting to detain a suspected undocumented immigrant alongside other agents, Castro unlawfully shot through the door of a Minneapolis duplex, hitting another man, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, in the leg, Minnesota prosecutors say.

The Justice Department initially charged Sosa-Celis with assaulting the federal agents, based in part on claims by Castro and his colleagues that Sosa-Celis attacked them before the shooting. But federal prosecutors later withdrew those charges, telling a judge that video evidence contradicted Castro's account of the incident.

The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, has said Castro was ordered to return to his duty station in Texas and remains suspended without pay while the U.S. attorney's office in Minneapolis contemplates filing federal charges against him.

In the meantime, Minnesota state prosecutors have launched their own prosecution, charging Castro in May with multiple felony counts of assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime. He was arrested in Texas and, until this week, held in a Texas jail awaiting Abbott's decision on whether to honor the extradition warrant.

Legal experts agree that federal law — and years of Supreme Court precedent — leave Abbott little room to refuse an extradition request for an individual who has been duly charged with a crime.

The extradition clause of the U.S. Constitution mandates that “a person charged in any state ... who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another state ... be delivered up, to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime.” The nation’s founders, legal experts say, wanted to avoid scenarios in which criminal suspects simply crossed state lines to avoid arrest, or states at odds with their neighbors refused to return wanted individuals.

Courts have adopted a broad interpretation of what it means to “flee from Justice,” repeatedly concluding that states are not required to prove that a defendant willfully fled a state to avoid prosecution. All that is needed for a valid extradition request is for the governor of the state to provide a copy of the charges and evidence that the person sought is the one investigators believe him to be.

Abbott, however, has expressed doubts as to whether Castro counts as a “fugitive,” given that the agent returned to Texas not to flee prosecution but under orders from the Department of Homeland Security.

The governor has said he has asked Texas state officials to investigate that legal question and is delaying his decision on Minnesota's request until that review is complete.

“Minnesota may be frustrated about how long that process has taken," attorneys for Texas wrote in court filings this month. "But the Governor of Texas is not content with that slipshod approach to the constitutional rights of American citizens."

But even as he denied Minnesota's request to enforce its extradition warrant this week, Rodriguez, the judge overseeing the dispute, expressed skepticism about the basis for Abbott's concerns. Whether someone is considered a fugitive in terms of interstate extradition "rests not on the accused's reason for leaving the state, but simply on whether he in fact left," the judge wrote.

Rodriguez also said he recognized that "Governor Abbott has considered this particular extra- dition request for an atypically-long duration."

Minnesota prosecutors say there is ample evidence that Abbott's resistance is political.

Abbott has signed off on at least three other extradition warrants from Minnesota in unrelated cases in the months since Minnesota first requested Castro's return. And this week, Abbott appeared to link the delay in extraditing Castro to his concerns about Minnesota's politics.

"While they're making demands, I've got a demand of my own, and that is: It's time for Minnesota to step up and repay the United States of America and Americans for all the fraud that they have committed in their state under federal programs," the governor said. "I will not respond to them at all until they step up and do what's right."

Minnesota officials say a governor has no right to cite an unrelated, partisan complaint as a pretext for ignoring a valid extradition request.

Mary Moriarty, the elected Democrat who serves as the top prosecutor in Hennepin County, Minnesota, said that Abbott's actions lay the groundwork for other governors to ignore extradition requests indefinitely from states with which they are not politically aligned.

“This should cause alarm,” she said.

Military leaders warn Hegseth against extending Iran war operations

out by the defense secretary, and includes insights from the military's top generals and admirals that inform the directives the Pentagon issues.

As President Donald Trump has pressured Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and accept several U.S. provisions for ending the stalemated conflict, he has been adamant that all options remain available to him

— including further military action. Consequently, U.S. Central Command, the headquarters responsible for prosecuting the Iran war, has kept a force of more than 50,000 troops on alert for months in case the president orders additional attacks.

The Aug. 14 orders book directs some troops deployed in the Middle East to remain there through September and some others into 2027, said those familiar with the document. The prospect of extending those forces further compelled military leaders to voice their concern, these people said.

Leaders of the U.S. European Command, the U.S. Pacific Command and the U.S. Southern Command, along with the Navy's top admiral, responded with what is characterized in the SDOB as a "non-concur," those familiar with the assessment said — meaning they disagree with the secretary's order to extend their forces but will execute it nevertheless.

The geographic combatant commands overseeing U.S. operations in Europe, Asia and Latin America have had their ships, aircraft and other equipment pulled away to support the Iran conflict. This has limited their ability to conduct missions and ensure proper training, those familiar with the assessment said. The Navy, in particular, has had to stretch its capacity to keep up with wartime demands.

Army and Air Force leadership concurred with Hegseth's desire to extend their deployed forces, but each emphasized that doing so would come with significant risk, these people said.

Overall, the tenor from the military leadership is that the ongoing Iran operation, having reached the six-month mark, has been “too much for too long,” said one person familiar with the assessment.

The military's warning to Hegseth, which has not been previously reported, offers new insight into the administration's dilemma as Trump seeks to end the conflict on terms favorable to the United States while Iran, cognizant of the war's unpopularity with most Americans and its mounting toll on the U.S. arsenal, refuses to capitulate.

“Decisions regarding the scope and duration of specific force commitments to any Combatant Command are made based on the current threat assessment, strategic priorities established by the President, and the advice of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Combatant Commanders,” Sean Parnell, a spokesman for Hegseth, said in a statement to The Post.

The Pentagon “does not discuss internal operational processes,” including the Secretary of Defense Orders Book, “or specific concurrences, non-concurrences, or risk assessments provided by the Services or Combatant Commands during force allocation deliberations,” he added.

The Secretary of Defense Orders Book also is reviewed by Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. A spokesman for the chairman declined to comment and referred questions to Hegseth's office.

The orders book is one avenue for senior military leaders to surface resource concerns and provide Hegseth with assessments on how gaining or losing assets will impact their objectives.

It's common for commanders to discuss risk, said the one person familiar with the recent assessment. But the outlook now is "more dire" overall, this person explained, adding that certain generals and admirals were more expansive and frank than is usual in telling Hegseth they disagreed with orders to keep providing equipment and personnel when the operation's trajectory remains uncertain.

The top military officials at European Command and Southern Command each cautioned Hegseth that lending their ships and surveillance aircraft to Central Command has degraded their ability to fulfill homeland-defense obligations, said those familiar with the assessment.

Adm. Samuel Paparo, the chief of Pacific Command, disagreed with the level of support he was ordered to continually provide, including an aircraft carrier strike group and naval destroyers, those familiar with the assessment said.

A spokesperson for European Command declined to comment. Spokespeople for Southern Command and Pacific Command did not respond to requests for comment.

Adm. Daryl Caudle, the chief of Naval Operations, provided Hegseth with the dimmest picture, saying in the SDOB that the Navy cannot sustain its current level of support for the Iran conflict because there is no anticipated end date, those familiar with the assessment said.

The Navy has shouldered an extraordinary burden. It has been asked to supply dozens of vessels for the Iran campaign — first to take part in the U.S. assault and defend against Iranian counterattacks and, for several months since, to enforce Trump's blockade of Iranian ports as he attempts to force open the Strait of Hormuz. Deployments for some vessels and crews have been extended by months.

Caudle conveyed to Hegseth that barely one-fourth of the Navy's destroyer fleet is ready to deploy, a sharp decline from prewar levels, said those familiar with the assessment.

More broadly, the document says that the impact on ship maintenance, if demands imposed by the Iran operation continue unchanged, jeopardizes the fleet's availability should other conflicts arise, people familiar with the assessment said.

A spokesperson for Caudle did not respond to a request for comment.

At a recent event in Norfolk, he talked about the deployment extensions, calling them “very challenging for our sailors.”

“I typically am not a big fan of extensions, and I push back hard on that, but the enemy gets a vote," Caudle said, according to a transcript of his remarks provided by the Navy.

Although Army and Air Force leadership concurred with Hegseth's current path for the Iran conflict, they conceded the challenges it has imposed, said those familiar with the assessment.

The Army's 82nd Airborne Division, which in March mobilized 2,000 soldiers in response to the Iran war, will remain in the Middle East at least through September, said those familiar with the assessment. Some military officials anticipate that the unit — which would be central to any ground invasion of Iran — will be extended beyond that time frame, these people said.

Deployments for units operating the Army's Patriot air defense systems, which shoot down missiles and drones targeting U.S. bases, also are expected to be extended, said those familiar with the assessment.

A spokesperson for the Army did not respond to a request for comment.

The depletion of Patriot interceptors — as a result of the Iran war and previous donations to Ukraine — has limited the Trump administration's ability to reescalate the war, as Tehran retains the ability to successfully target U.S. facilities throughout the Middle East.

As The Post and others have reported previously, the Iran war also has drained U.S. supplies of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense interceptors — vital not only to the protection of American assets in the Middle East but to regional allies as well — and long-range Tomahawk missiles. About 25 percent of the Pentagon's Reaper drone fleet has been lost, and U.S. bases there have sustained billions of dollars in damage.

The Trump administration has maintained that reports of munitions shortages are inaccurate.

Many of the Air Force units sent to the Middle East to conduct bombing runs and other around-the-clock operations also are slated to stay in the region into 2027, two people familiar said.

The Air Force declined to comment, citing the classification of the orders book.

A spokesman for Central Command declined to comment and referred questions to Hegseth's office.

The recent “non-concurs” from some uniformed leaders mark the latest warning from military leaders about the war.

As The Post and others reported previously, Caine advised the White House before hostilities began that the U.S. lacked sufficient munitions — and support from allies — to conduct an extended large-scale campaign.

More recently, Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, the head of European Command, privately warned the Pentagon that he lacked adequate naval forces to shield Israel and the U.S. homeland from missile attacks, as The Post reported this month.

In the Pacific, key U.S. allies have raised alarm that the Pentagon's depletion of missiles and air defense interceptors leave them vulnerable to China. The Navy's only dedicated aircraft carrier in the Pacific, a linchpin of the military's plan to deter Beijing, was sent to the Middle East to relieve another carrier that has been deployed for more than 300 days.

Abbott blocks funding in Texas for Flock cameras as bipartisan fury brews

License plate readers are unpopular, and politicians are catching on

BY DANIELLE PAQUETTE

Republicans and Democrats once praised Flock Safety as a protection tool for American communities. Now politicians across the political spectrum are turning against the mass-surveillance technology.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) froze state spending this past week on the shoebox-size cameras that have proliferated across the nation.

The flow of taxpayer money halted just before the Texas Tribune published an investigation probing how one state agency poured at least \$30 million into expanding the reach of the controversial automated license plate scanners.

"There is a crackdown across Texas," Abbott spokesperson Andrew Mahaleris said in a statement.

Reports of authorities misusing the Flock network, which spans 120,000 cameras in every state except Alaska, have sparked an intense backlash, with critics asserting the crime-stopping devices too easily enable stalking or spying in the wrong hands. Abbott's office highlighted a case in the East Texas city of Lufkin, where a police officer was indicted on felony charges after searching his ex-girlfriend's license plate number thousands of times.

Like energy-guzzling data centers, the robotic trackers have grown increasingly unpopular, sparking heated debate on the responsible use of AI in the United States as the midterm elections near. Protesters have vandalized Flock cameras they blast as “Big Brother,” and internet pranksters have danced in front of them in lighter-hearted viral mockery.

Abbott's office, meanwhile, said the technology is concentrated in densely populated areas and mainly funded by the federal government.

“Almost all Flock cameras in Texas are used by cities, and those cities are increasingly canceling their contracts with

Flock," the governor's press secretary said in a statement.

The Democrat running against Abbott for governor, Gina Hinojosa, released an ad this month criticizing her opponent for allowing 10,000 of the monitors to trace Texans' movements.

“No warrant needed in Greg Abbott’s Texas!” a voice-over chirps.

Flock officials have told The Washington Post that abusers of the technology make up a tiny sliver of its 140,000 active users, and that the company provides training guides meant to prevent unauthorized activity. The system, they say, was built to help police catch those breaking the law.

Yet bad actors have exploited loopholes. Authorities have charged or accused at least 50 law-enforcement officers of using license plate readers for unofficial reasons, including to stalk women, a Post analysis found. Dozens of cities throughout the nation have shut them down.

Candidates on the right and left are leaning into the anti-Flock sentiments.

“Big Brother has NO place in the Lone Star State,” Rep. Keith Self, a Republican running for reelection in Texas, recently posted on Instagram.

Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive Senate candidate in Michigan, also referenced sci-fi horror in a TikTok post, framing Flock as “little cameras watching your every move to collect information about you without you even noticing.”

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) has launched an inquiry into Flock and urged the company to reveal who can access what its system captures. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) has pledged to introduce legislation that would ban AI surveillance.

The blowback in Texas, meanwhile, has been steadily brewing. This month, the state's agriculture commissioner, a Republican, urged Abbott to stop investing in automated license plate readers until more safeguards are adopted.

“No law-abiding Texan should enter a digital lineup whenever he drives on a public road,” Sid Miller wrote in an op-ed for the Houston Chronicle. “No mother should wonder whether her school route is in a government database.”

California regulators rushed decision on driverless trucks, lawsuit alleges

BY CAROLINE PETROW-Cohen Los Angeles Times

As self-driving vehicles spread across the country, a major California labor union is taking a stand against state regulators who say autonomous trucks are ready for the road.

Teamsters California sued the California Department of Motor Vehicles earlier this month over the DMV's decision to lift a ban on autonomous vehicles weighing more than 10,001 pounds.

The DMV announced the new regulations in April, along with certification requirements that mandate testing with a safety driver and 500,000 miles driven at each stage of certification.

The Teamsters, which represent 250,000 workers across dozens of industries in California, said they have concerns about how this will affect drivers' work and safety. The union said the DMV approved heavy-duty driverless vehicles without considering impact or public input.

"We're not going to sit by idly while they put jobs and the safety of our streets and roads at risk," Teamsters California co-chair Peter Finn said in an interview. "It's clear from experience with Waymo that these autonomous vehicles can't deal with unanticipated circumstances, so we are certainly cautioning about the dangers of 26,000 pounds barreling down the highways at 65 miles per hour."

Finn pointed to instances of autonomous vehicles blocking first responders and a blackout in San Francisco last year that caused Waymo taxis to stall and get stuck in the road.

“Any time anything goes wrong at all, the system completely fails,” Finn said.

The California DMV said it could not comment on ongoing litigation. In a statement in April, DMV director Steve Gordon said the updated regulations “further demonstrate the state’s commitment to public safety” and “support the growth of the AV industry by enhancing public safety and transparency while adding additional accountability for AV manufacturers.”

William Riggs, director of the Autonomous Vehicles and the City Initiative at the University of San Francisco, said the DMV went through more than a year of proposals, public hearings and revisions before the new regulations were adopted.

"To say that the decision was too fast is a bit of a revisionist history," he said. "It's a long, protracted process. We're not going to see companies flood the road with thousands of autonomous trucks tomorrow."

The core of the Teamsters' petition against the DMV is the claim that regulators violated the California Administrative Procedure Act by failing to complete an extensive study of the economic and practical impact of the policy change.

Under the act, agencies have to conduct what's called a standardized regulatory impact assessment for any policy changes estimated to have an economic cost or benefit to the state that exceeds \$50 million in one year, said Julie Dickinson, a partner at the law firm Bush Gottlieb, which is representing the Teamsters.

Dickinson said the true cost of the DMV's new regulations is predicted to exceed \$280 million in the first year.

“Californians had a right to know the economic impact,” Dickinson said in an interview.

"The DMV acted irresponsibly, carelessly and unlawfully by keeping the public in the dark."

California is among the largest markets for freight trucking, employing more than 130,000 drivers.

A handful of companies in California and other states are working to deploy autonomous trucks to haul freight, including Mountain View-based Kodiak AI and San Francisco-based Humble Robotics.

Humble Robotics founder and Chief Executive Eyal Cohen said he doesn't believe self-driving trucks will replace human drivers anytime soon.

The Teamsters disagree.

“Autonomous vehicles and particularly autonomous heavy trucks are an existential threat to driving jobs,” Finn said. “It’s very important to not just our membership, but also to the economy here in California and our local communities."

Dickinson said the Teamsters' legal petition aims to have the court rescind the DMV's revised regulations until after an economic study is completed and the public is consulted.

"The loss of jobs is tremendous, but the safety of millions of Californians is at stake," she said.

Riggs said the Teamsters' safety argument is weakened by the inconsistent safety record of human truck drivers, who have fallen asleep at the wheel or driven while distracted or otherwise impaired. He added that autonomous freight has the potential to create new jobs.

"There's plenty of research out there that shows there are ample pathways as more trucks and vehicles become automated to conduct fleet operations, to look at maintenance and logistics," he said.

Participation in youth tackle football has started to tick back up

FOOTBALL FROM A1

we've cut that way down."

The urgent need to reform the game came under yet another harsh spotlight this week when a new scientific study, considered one of the most authoritative ever conducted, revealed that at least a quarter, and probably many more, of former NFL players to die in recent years suffered from CTE, the degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head impacts. The study, which points to the cumulative small hits rather than major injuries, instantly renewed the debate over whether and when children (or adults) should play tackle football, threatening to dull the sport's recent rebound.

After a decade of decline, national tackle football participation has begun to tick back up in recent years. The percentage of kids ages 6 and up who play tackle football rose from 2021 to 2024 to match 2014 levels, according to data from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. Surveys from the National Federation of State High School Associations show the total number of high school players has rebounded from a 2018 low point to meet numbers from a decade ago.

Coaches cite a number of possible reasons. For a generation of children cooped up in pandemic lockdown, the sport offers a chance to bond with new friends before the school year starts. At a time of loneliness and fragmentation, football promises community, even tribalism. Deals for young athletes' name, image and likeness, or NIL, can be paltry or life-changing secure income streams for a growing number of young athletes. And no sport offers more cultural cachet.

But above all, players, parents and coaches trust that the changes in football have reduced football's risks.

"The way the game is taught is just safer," said Justin Alumbaugh, head coach at perennial powerhouse De La Salle High School in Northern California. "As a parent, that alleviates a lot of the fear."

It wasn't long ago that concerns about football's long-term consequences seemed severe enough to challenge the sport's supremacy as the country's favorite game. Starting in the mid-2000s, several studies discovered CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, in the brains of former football players who struggled with depression, memory loss, impulse control, emotional regulation and other mental health problems. Some showed symptoms associated with dementia by their 30s or 40s. Some killed themselves or others.

Neurologists advised against children playing tackle football until at least high school. In 2013, Pop Warner participation dipped for the first time in 80 years. A Washington Post analysis in 2023 found that while geography, race and politics made the sport's participation decline uneven, it had been, for years, in obvious decline.

Coaches saw the impact. Even in football-loving Georgia, Buford High School head coach Bryant Appling said he “saw a little dip [in participation] in the early 2010s,” before a rebound “the last couple years.” Alumbaugh, at De La Salle, remembers fewer students were signing up for the school’s famed football team, to the point that his staff discussed consolidating the freshman and junior varsity teams. “That’s when things kind of became a little bit alarming,” he said.

Medical experts are still trying to fully understand the scale of football's harms. This week's landmark study, published in the British Medical Journal, included 878 former players who died between 2016 and 2021. It was anchored by posthumous brain examinations of 338 football players, more than 90 percent of which showed signs of CTE.

Because players who donated their brains were more likely to have suffered from symptoms of brain disease, the researchers reasoned that anywhere between about 25 percent and 97 percent of the players in the study had CTE. The real number, they said, was probably somewhere in the middle.

The youngest in the study were in the league by the 2010s, part of the final generation of grid-iron warriors to grow up under the old ways. As long as there's no way to diagnose CTE while a person is alive, the game's risks remain a mystery in real-time.

But coaches and players and parents have reason to be optimistic. How could the game not be safer when it feels so dramatically different?

The reckoning “encouraged us to evaluate how we were doing things,” Alumbaugh said. “It led to not just self-reflection but reflection on culture.”

Maybe a coach shouldn't chew out a player for “going out of bounds and not getting an extra yard,” Alumbaugh said. “There's a little bit more reason in the game now. What's the best-case scenario, he gains three more inches? Or he gets hurt.”

De La Salle defenders started tackling differently after Alumbaugh saw an instructional video of coach Pete Carroll demonstrating demonstrating the rugby-style technique the Seattle Seahawks had mastered to great success, leading with their shoulders instead of heads.

“That was a really good Seattle defense, and well, they’re doing it,” Alumbaugh said. “If you’re going to take the profession seriously you gotta look at other ideas and better ways of doing it. We tried it and saw a decrease in concussions.”

He said his team suffered two concussions last year, fewer than the baseball team. This year, around 160 players are in the program, around 30 more than at the lowest point several years ago.

Football culture tends to trickle down from the top. When leagues outlawed the sort of hits that used to make highlight reels, teams trained players to avoid them. "Even if you're a coach who doesn't care about safety, you care about the 15-yard penalties," Hart said.

He described a “gradual” evolution that came “the more that we learned as a profession.” When the current generation of coaches was growing up, there was no higher virtue in football than toughness, and conventional wisdom dictated that the more a player suffered, the better equipped he was to handle the game’s brutal rigors.

The downside: “Your best players would get injured in a practice,” Hart said. “If you’re a conscious coach, you look at it like, what could we have done to prevent that?”

Hart, the only coach to win an Indiana state title at three schools, said he began to rethink how he conducted practice after speaking with college coaches who prioritized efficiency over repetition, and watching an Indiana practice under Curt Cignetti. Hart trimmed his practices down from two and a half hours to 90 minutes. He barred tackling, focusing training on angles and positioning.

“Everything is built around rest,” he said. “We probably spend an extraordinary amount of time on recovery in our process so we can go significantly hard when we go.”

At reigning Georgia state champion Buford High School, players practice with helmets strapped with cushioned Guardian Caps and wear GPS sensors that track their movements. If a top player hits a certain distance threshold, raising the risk of a pulled muscle, Appling instructs him to “take the second half of practice off,” he said, something his own high school coach back in the day “never would have said.”

"The more you read and the studies that come out, you take things back," said Appling, who has coached for more than 25 years and has two sons in middle school. "When I was growing up, I wouldn't believe I'd be doing all this stuff, but it makes sense."

A player's trajectory today, he said, "is a lot higher now than it was 25 years ago."

You can strip away only so much risk from tackle football before it ceases to be tackle football. The most violent knock-out blows might reflect the sport at its most brutal, but sports medicine experts have found that the main driver of CTE is the accumulation of subconcussive blows unavoidable for most players.

Carl Ehrlich remembers first hearing about those early studies before his final year as a defensive lineman at Harvard. In the trenches, he banged helmets on every snap. “I saw stars every practice,” he said. He tried not to think about “all these subconcussive hits” until after the season.

A few years later, in 2014, Ehrlich founded a youth flag football league in the D.C. metro area. Around 160 kids signed up the first year, more than 300 the second, and around 7,000 this year, including about 2,000 girls. Nationwide within the past decade, flag has surpassed tackle football among children ages 6 to 12.

For many parents, Ehrlich said, it's a way of “diverting” a football-loving child away from tackle, letting them explore their interest in the sport without risking brain trauma.

“Eight years ago, the idea of sending your kid into tackle football had the same stigma as smoking a cigarette at restaurants,” Ehrlich said, and he wasn’t sure that could ever change without the sport losing its appeal. But his perspective has shifted as the game has be-

come safer.

"When the rules started changing, part of you was worried about it corrupting the purity of the sport," he said. "I've been surprised over the last 10 years. The game is the same, and it turns out you didn't need all of those massive, dangerous collisions."

When parents ask his recommendation, Ehrlich, a father of young children, tells them that if it were his kid, “I would keep them in flag through elementary school, and then maybe in seventh and eighth grade let them get a year in of tackle before high school,” he said.

Compared with a decade ago, the percentage of children who play any organized sport has dipped across the board, according to one analysis of youth sports data. Tackle football shrunk more than basketball and soccer but less than baseball and volleyball. The two fastest-growing games are individual sports, tennis and golf.

Flag football is the only team sport with a growing participation rate over the past five years. The number of girls playing high school flag football has risen from around 11,000 to 68,000 over the past decade, almost exactly matching the loss of boys tackle football players, according to data collected by the National Federation of State High School Associations. Combining flag and tackle, more children are playing high school football than at any point since 2009.

“People thought flag was going to take people away from tackle,” Ehrlich said, “but it has brought more people into the sport in general.”

The best boys' flag football players, he noted, usually go on to play tackle football. And even in aftermath of this week's study, he expects that to continue.

“Tackle is coming around a little more again,” Ehrlich said. “People are getting more comfortable with it.”

Tribe fights back as tariffs threaten livelihood

Wildflowers bloom below the mountains near Logan Pass in Glacier National Park, along Going-to-the-Sun Road.

TARIFFS FROM A1

finding it harder to pay their mortgages, buy groceries and refill on gas amid the escalating tariffs standoff, in a community where a third of residents already live below the poverty line. Most of the tribe's roughly 10,000 members, whose reservation spans 1.5 million acres across northwest Montana, own or work for businesses dependent on cross-border trade and tourism.

Jonathan St. Goddard, a fellow rancher, had to pay hundreds extra for a tractor wheel he'd bought in Canada. Jackie and Steve Conway, a couple who co-managed an RV and tent campsite, had seen a significant drop in reservations. And David and Rhonda Mountain Chief had considered shuttering their cab service ferrying hikers, campers and climbers into Glacier National Park after international visitors and bookings disappeared.

A year earlier, Smith, St. Goddard, the Conways and the Mountain Chiefs had sued the Trump administration, alleging the tariffs violated their property rights under the constitution and ignored their autonomy as a tribe, long guaranteed under a treaty almost as old as America. Their case was one of a surge of lawsuits filed by private citizens alleging Trump's aggressive reshaping of government and the private sector has undermined their core civil liberties, according to a Washington Post analysis of thousands of court records.

The tribe's lawsuit had asked the court to immediately halt the tariffs' enforcement, but a trio of judges dismissed the case over a jurisdictional issue. The decision left Smith and the other members of the Blackfeet tribe facing a second summer of Trump's tariffs, with consequences for their lives and livelihoods that were deepening with each passing month.

Asked about the tribe's litigation and concerns, White House spokesman Kush Desai wrote in an emailed statement that “the reality is that decades of lopsided trade arrangements have undermined workers, farmers, and business across America.” He added that Trump is “committed to the prosperity and wellbeing of every American, and that includes Native American communities.”

The president and his lawsuit were far from Wayne Smith's mind as he wondered how to fix his tractor. From the seat of his truck, Smith could just see the farm of his neighbor. Randy Haynes, he knew, ran a lot of Case IH machinery and might have a spare part, so he dialed. "You awake?" Smith said. "Don't lie, you're probably napping. ... Listen, do you have a fitting? It needs that little pointed end on it."

Haynes said he probably had something that would work, stored away somewhere in his barn.

“Looking at it, I’d know if it’ll work or not,” Smith said. “I’ll just head that way, and we’ll see if we have something.”

He tapped the wheel. "If not ... I don't know."

A day earlier, David Mountain Chief was sitting in his sagging white van, waiting for the Texas couple he'd arranged to collect from the Granite Park trailhead an hour's drive into Glacier National Park.

They were late. The parking lot where he was stopped — tucked along a scenic curve of Going-to-the-Sun Road — should have been crammed with cars on day like this.

But many spots were empty. So were most lookout sites Mountain Chief, 67, could see farther down the mountain. Beside him, his wife, Rhonda, 65, held a spiral planner open in her lap, and that was half empty, too. She used the black book to track client bookings.

husband, Scott, stumbled into view. Dark sweat outlined the .44 Magnum revolver strapped to his chest. It was his last defense against grizzly bears, he explained as the Ludgates climbed into the van. She was a schoolteacher. He was an Army veteran.

“Me, too,” David Mountain Chief said, mentioning that he also served in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. As the van began winding out of the mountains, the couples talked about other things they had in common, like long marriages built on mutual tolerance. And that’s how the president entered the conversation.

He looked away from the blank white squares consuming June, July and August.

Trump's fault, he thought.

"Are you here to pick up some hikers?" A woman staggered over, introducing herself as Cynthia Ludgate. She had thought the loop was 11 miles, she said, but her watch showed 15. Her husband had fallen behind. She'd jogged the last mile, worried the Mountain Chiefs wouldn't wait.

"Our motto is we have your back," Rhonda Mountain Chief said, swallowing Ludgate in a hug. "We wouldn't have your back if we left you."

“I’m highly conservative, very Trump,” Cynthia Ludgate said. She slumped one shoulder toward her husband: “But he will quibble on that.”

“I voted for him all three times,” her husband said. “Nonetheless, do I agree with everything that that man is doing?” He shrugged.

"I guess I'm just used to big-city people," Ludgate said, brushing away tears as her

Rhonda Mountain Chief looked from the gun to the silver cross Cynthia wore. Not likely to be the most receptive audience, she guessed, but she decided to tell them about her lawsuit against the president anyway. "You can't run a business on uncertainty," she said, as the van wheezed to the top of Logan Pass.

It didn't matter to Rhonda that a handful of judges she'd never met had dismissed her lawsuit over what she saw as a technicality. To her, the claim was as real now as when the suit was filed. And every set of passengers offered another chance to make her case.

Ten years before, she told the Ludgates now, she and her husband had founded the Mountain Chief Cab Company to drive tourists between trailheads, hotels and the East Glacier train station. She asked clients to sign a guidebook with their home countries, because she liked reading over the names of places she'd never been: Maui. Buenos Aires. Denmark. Scotland. The Philippines.

The cab service was the Mountain Chiefs' main income, Rhonda explained, averting her eyes as the van passed another sparsely filled lookout spot. What they earned between May and September — \$50,000, in a good year — had to cover food and clothes for their four children and care for Rhonda's sick brother, as well as helping other members of their large family pay for things like school clothes, braces and doctors' visits. It was more than a business, she said. The couple used the long drives to teach visitors Blackfeet history, telling stories entwined with Glacier's lakes and mountains, where the tribe has lived for thousands of years, archaeologists believe, and which the Blackfeet call the "backbone of the world."

But Trump's tariffs, and the

WHITNEY SNOW/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

subsequent drop in international tourism, threatened to undo everything, Rhonda told the Texans. In the first year of Trump's second presidency, foreign travel to America fell 6 percent, with Canadian trips declining by 25 percent. Tourism to Glacier — which the federal government once calculated as worth 5,700 jobs and \$550 million to the local economy — dipped by almost 100,000 visits, after more than a decade of mostly growth. "I don't got no foreigners, I only have Germans out this year," she said. "Where's all the other people?"

Rounding a curve sharp as an elbow, the van, which had surpassed 156,000 miles in 13 years of service, gave an unhappy clink. David Mountain Chief wondered again about the \$56,000 private loan the Mountain Chiefs had applied for two months ago so they could buy a new vehicle. If the van gave out before the money came, he didn't know how they'd keep the cab service going.

In the back seat, Scott Ludgate was nodding. He said again that he didn't like everything Trump did. "I mean, to tear down part of the White House. Why don't you focus on something that's actually more important?"

“It’s just sad,” Rhonda said. “I don’t see how a man that has no heart can be leading our country.”

She looked at Cynthia, who looked out the window, pressing her lips together.

The silence stretched to six seconds.

She's a good woman, Rhonda told herself. And she's on vacation.

“Hopefully we’ll see a bear,” Rhonda said, changing the subject. “Did you guys see a grizz or anything up there?”

The Mountain Chiefs delivered the Ludgates to their campsite and parted with a hug, but without mentioning Trump or the lawsuit again.

A half-mile away at the Heart of Glacier campground, perched at the park's edge, the Conways were realizing their summer was already a disappointment.

Huddled by the computer in their front office, they were going over the numbers. Bookings were down for the second season in a row.

Last year, the first summer since Trump imposed the tariffs, reservations for their four cabins and 35 pull-in campsites had dropped 10 percent, costing them \$20,000. Canadians — angered, the Conways believed, by the president's boasts of making their country the 51st state — accounted for most of the decline.

This summer was looking even worse. On average, five sites were empty each night, nearly two weeks into their busiest season, representing a loss of \$250 a day. They had opened Heart of Glacier 15 years ago to fund a comfortable retirement. Since then, the Conways had always been fully booked for the 60 days between the end of June and the end of August.

Until now.

“It’s probably a combination of things,” Steve Conway said, pushing back his “VEGAS” baseball cap to scratch his forehead. “You know they’re charging people, foreigners from 16 up, an extra \$100 to come here.”

Steve, a 77-year-old veteran and former hospital maintenance worker, was referring to a Trump policy, new this year, that requires tourists from other countries to pay a \$100 surcharge at 11 of the nation's most popular parks. Trump officials assert the fee ensures foreign visitors contribute “their fair share” for park maintenance.

Jackie, a 69-year-old retired schoolteacher, nodded as Steve spoke. “I thought it was per car-load. It’s per person,” she said. “One hundred dollars per person extra.”

A woman walked into the office, settled her bill and reported a dead bulb in a table lamp. A man followed her, asking to extend his stay through Sunday and whether he could use water spigot No. 4.

Steve waited until they were gone. “Another thing about the tariffs,” he said to his wife. “It seems like it’s kind of divided us.”

He was talking about their friends over the Canadian border, which the Conways had long seen as a meaningless line.

Steve, a Blackfeet tribal member, was born and raised on the reservation. Jackie's parents built the motel atop the hill across the street from Heart of Glacier. They had grown up traveling to Canada twice a month — to ride in rodeos, see friends and, in later years, watch their grandchildren compete on horseback.

But they had hardly seen their Canadian friends since Trump's second term began. Nor had anyone come to visit them.

“A lot of people don’t want to come down because of ...” Steve trailed off without naming the president. “They make jokes about our government.”

Jackie nodded. "It doesn't feel like an open border anymore."

“I don’t regret it,” Steve said slowly, but it sounded a little like a question.

His wife recognized the start of the same conversation the Conways had been having for months. Steve, she knew, was talking about their failed lawsuit. He wanted to know: Had it all been pointless?

A little more than a year earlier, the Conways had walked into the casino on the Blackfeet reservation in Browning. They were there to meet a woman who'd driven four hours with a small laser printer, which she was now setting up on a gray folding table in a cafeteria-style dining area.

Her name was Monica Tranel, she explained, and she was a lawyer from Missoula who'd already agreed to represent some of the Conways' friends, also seated around the table, in a lawsuit challenging Trump's tariffs. She'd found them through Montana state Sen. Susan Webber (D-Browning), who'd been first to sign on to the suit, determined to defend her constituents. Now, Tranel had come in search of more Blackfeet men and women burdened by the tariffs, she said. She would write down and print their stories, she said, tapping the machine next to her, then add them to the suit.

The potential plaintiffs listened as Tranel explained that Trump's tariffs were illegal in three ways. First, the tariffs violated the U.S. Constitution, which says that only Congress, not the president, has the power “to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations ... and with the Indian Tribes.” Second, the tariffs breached the tribal members' Fifth Amendment right not to be deprived of their property without due process.

But above all, Tranel said, the tariffs broke the Jay Treaty.

The Conways and the others nodded: They knew what that was. They'd grown up hearing about the deal struck in 1794 between the U.S. and Britain. It meant they could cross into Canada, where thousands of other Blackfeet resided, without a passport, carrying nothing but their tribal identity card — and that they should never have to pay “any Impost or Duty whatever” on goods transported cross-border.

There were other lawsuits being filed against the tariffs, Tranel said, but no one else was making that argument, because almost no one else could.

“This is a unique claim that you can make,” Tranel said. “You have the power.”

If she could show people how much the tariffs were harming the Blackfeet, Tranel said, it would be harder for the government to dismiss their suit.

So rancher Jonathan St. Goddard told about the \$1,200 tractor wheel he'd tried to buy in Canada, only to face an extra \$300 charge because of the tariffs. The Mountain Chiefs and Conways talked about the thousands of foreigners, especially Canadians, who normally came to see Glacier each summer. When it was rancher Wayne Smith's turn, he said that a few days before the casino meeting, a customer in Canada had tried to import a load of grain that was supposed to cost \$5,500 — and was slapped with a \$1,375 tariff, imposed on Canada's side. Now, the buyer didn't want the rest of the grain.

For nearly four hours, Tranel kept typing. At the end, she printed five documents — one for each of the plaintiffs — outlining tariffs-related harms, which the tribal members signed.

As the case proceeded, Tranel kept the tribal members updated by Facebook messenger, text and email. At first, as news outlets wrote about the lawsuit, it felt exciting.

Then federal attorneys successfully motioned to move the case from the Montana District Court to the U.S. Court of International Trade. Tranel considered the decision a death sentence. The international court was 2,300 miles away in New York, where the tribal members could never afford to travel. Worse, she argued, it had no authority to adjudicate the type of U.S. constitutional claims that the Blackfeet case rested on. She appealed the decision to the 9th Circuit, which is where it sat for 10 months.

Then in late February, the tribal members opened an email from Tranel. Attached was a PDF with a two-sentence order from the appeals court.

"The Court dismissed our case for lack of jurisdiction," consistent with an earlier Supreme Court decision, Tranel wrote. "I am disappointed."

Rhonda Mountain Chief saw the email while running errands but waited to tell her husband until she got home. David, bent over a map updating the trail routes for the summer, shook his head. "It's not going away, then," Rhonda remembered him saying about the tariffs. "It's still there."

Smith drew the same, dispiriting conclusion. Now he would have to keep dealing with all the same problems, only without hope of legal salvation. But Webber, the senator, felt the rise of a familiar rage.

“They just patted us on the head and said, ‘Oh, okay,’ as if our voice didn’t mean anything,” she recalled in an interview. “We’re so used to that kind of treatment, that we’re inconsequential. ... I thought that at least we’d have our day in court.”

Jackie Conway remembered sitting with her husband in their living room to process the dismissal. As the setting sun painted Glacier's mountains purple, the couple debated whether the suit had been worth the effort.

Then, she gave Steve the same answer that she would give, four months later, on the July day in the front office of their campground.

"I'm under no illusions that anything we do is really making a difference," she told him. "But at least we stood up."

Wayne Smith's phone screen showed 4:10 p.m. when he pulled his truck up to Randy Haynes's farmhouse.

As he climbed out, the sun burned from a cloudless sky into his shoulders like a rebuke: Why hadn't he started haying yet?

He followed Haynes into the old airplane hangar he had converted into storage for machinery and spare parts.

It was lined wall-to-wall with dusty tools, curling yellow wires and bins of metal things. Haynes, in a “CASE IH” baseball cap, flung one arm in a half-circle around the room.

“It’s probably here,” he said, bending over to rummage inside one of the bins.

Smith thanked Haynes again for looking. He'd tried a lot of local shops, he said, with no luck. Haynes said he wasn't surprised.

"I used to go to Canada for lots of parts because these places around here don't have them," he said. "Right across the border in Milk River is a fantastic dealership" — referring, Smith knew, to Rocky Mountain Equipment.

Instead, Haynes said, he'd been getting all his repairs done stateside, where everything seemed to cost more than it used to. The other day, he complained, one shop tried to charge him \$180 to make a minuscule fix.

“You're paying more for it overall than you would a year ago,” Smith said, gesturing across the room, too. “All of this stuff.”

“Oh, God, yes,” Haynes said.

Normally, Smith didn't talk politics with Haynes, who he knew had voted for Trump all three times. The two men would just disagree, he felt, and to what purpose?

But today felt like an opportunity.

“I never did tell you,” Smith said, but he’d joined a lawsuit against the president’s tariffs.

Haynes snorted. "Oh yeah?" He said another neighbor, a man who lived right beside the border, recently tried to buy a tractor part in Canada. "It was a \$5,000 part and the tariff was — oh, my God, just tremendous. It was terrible."

He walked over to Smith and held out a fitting with a pointy cone-shaped end, covered in dirt.

"That's the one I was talking about," Smith said.

“Let me spray this off for you,” Haynes said, reaching for a hose. For a few moments, the only sound inside the hangar was the tinny spray of liquid against metal.

Shutting off the water, Haynes said the tariffs were “the most stupid thing.” They made him reconsider Trump. “I mean, God. He’s got good ideas. I thought, ‘Oh well, he’s a businessman, he’ll help this country.’”

Smith nodded as Haynes handed him the now-shiny silver cylinder.

“I ain’t going to vote for him again, I guarantee you,” Haynes said.

Smith rolled the cool metal in his left palm, savoring Haynes's words. Haynes had never disavowed the president before, at least not to Smith. It didn't matter that Trump was constitutionally ineligible to run again in 2028; Smith knew what his old friend meant.

It also didn't matter as much what had happened to the lawsuit, Smith thought. Because it had led to this conversation. For today, that felt like victory enough.

“I don’t know, Wayne, if that will work,” Haynes said.

“I think it will,” Smith said. He was right.

He got in the rest of his hay with nothing else breaking. Then, in late August, Smith clicked on a YouTube video about the president ordering more Canadian tariffs. A trade war had broken out, and he was in the middle of it.

Smith read through the list of affected goods that would now cost 50 percent more, noting the metals and agricultural seeds. He thought about his shrinking budget, and his former business partners in Canada. “If it was bad before,” Smith said to himself, “it’s worse today.”

Traffic along Glacier's scenic roads was noticeably lighter than is typical.

‘RIP King’: Fans pay respect to Tupac Shakur as murder trial nears the end

speaker.

Graffiti about Tupac is seen on a pole this month near the intersection where he was shot at in Las Vegas.

BY JESSICA HILL Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Shardae Williams woke up recently to someone blasting Tupac Shakur's "Shed So Many Tears," as they drove by her home. Lately at work or while running errands, she has seen people wearing Shakur shirts. The late rapper's presence is everywhere since the Las Vegas trial began, she says, calling it a hopeful sign that answers are coming in the death of her favorite artist.

“His spirit wants this to come out and wants this to get justice,” Williams said.

Nearly 30 years after Shakur's death, the trial of the only person ever charged in his killing has drawn fans back to a loss many of them never stopped carrying. For them, the case not only offers the person who may be responsible for Shakur's death, but a chance for resolution after decades spent keeping his music, message and memory alive.

Former Southern California street gang leader Duane “Keffe D” Davis has pleaded not guilty to orchestrating the drive-by shooting in Las Vegas.

After his death in 1996, Shakur and his influence lived on through fans and pop culture. He received a posthumous star in 2023 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a street named after him in Oakland, California, and will be a character in the upcoming video adventure game "Stranger than Heaven."

Fans see Shakur as a revolutionary

There's no official memorial to Tupac where he was shot on the Las Vegas Strip on Sept. 7, 1996. But visitors stop at the intersection and fans gather regularly on his birthday, June 16, adding messages to a utility pole that is covered in remembrances, such as "RIP King," "Tupac 4 Life" and "Gone but never forgotten."

They leave balloons, cake or his favorite type of brandy, Hennessy. On a strip of concrete nearby, someone painted a rose with the phrase “the rose that grew from concrete,” a reference to Shakur’s posthumous book of poetry.

FRANK WIESE/AP

Tupac Shakur attends a voter registration event in South Central Los Angeles in 1996.

Atlanta resident Julie Hardy has been to the memorial three times on Shakur's birthday to pay her respects.

“People still care, and he has not been forgotten,” said Hardy, 56.

For fans like Hardy, Shakur is more than just a rapper. Hardy categorized Shakur, the son of a Black Panther, among the likes of Black activists such as Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey and Martin Luther King Jr. because he wrote about the “revolution” and the ups and downs the Black community faces, she said.

Shakur's philosophy called for the uplifting of marginalized communities and demanded accountability from systems that oppressed Black people and the youth.

Hardy gravitated toward

Shakur when she was 19 living in Cincinnati, and her cousin showed her Shakur's first solo album, "2Pacalypse Now."

Shakur's “Brenda's Got a Baby” resonated with Hardy because of the high rate of teen pregnancy at the time, she said. His song “Soulja's Story” inspired her to write hip-hop songs because it told a story of things she also saw growing up in Black communities, such as police and gun violence.

When she saw on the news that he was shot, she called everyone she knew. Hardy then went to her friend's house and prayed, hoping Shakur would survive like he did when he was shot in a robbery in November 1994.

She felt like a family member passed when she learned he died days later a hospital. He was 25.

“We looked up to him as an icon and a revolutionary, and now we’re looking up to him as a legend,” Hardy said.

Shakur inspired others in songwriting

Din “Lil Therapy” Malone took a bus from Denver to watch the trial in Las Vegas.

Malone was introduced to Shakur when he was 13 years old watching Shakur in his breakout starring role as a troubled teen in the 1992 movie “Juice.” Then, he started listening to his music.

“Tupac taught me how to translate my tears into words,” said Malone, a songwriter and artist. Outside of an overflow room in the courthouse, Malone wore a Shakur shirt and played Shakur’s music on his phone’s

Shakur wrote about his own hardships, and inspired Malone to do the same, putting into words experiences of being bullied as a kid or mourning family deaths, Malone said. He grew up in a Crips-run neighborhood in Denver and — like Shakur — learned how to “live through the hood.”

Shakur's song "It Ain't Easy" spoke to Malone about the importance of persevering when life isn't easy. Even though he never met the rapper, he said he felt like he lost an older brother.

Shakur's legacy continues

Williams, a North Carolina resident, runs a Facebook fan page for Shakur called All Eyez on Pac that has over 25,000 followers.

The 38-year-old has loved Shakur ever since she watched “Poetic Justice,” the 1993 movie starring Shakur as a postal worker and Janet Jackson as a grieving hairdresser. One of the first Shakur songs she heard was “Dear Mama,” and she said she was touched by Shakur’s deep love for his mother, Afeni Shakur.

Over the years, Williams watched every video about Shakur and every interview of people who knew him, she said.

“That’s what made me create the page because I really truly have a love for Tupac,” she said.

She saw Shakur as a sweet, kindhearted person who was misunderstood. Shakur wasn't perfect. He was convicted of sexual assault and acquitted on more serious charges in a sex abuse case in 1994. He was sentenced to 18 months to over 4 years in prison, but served nearly eight months before he was released. But Shakur was human, Williams said.

Some fans who sat in the courtroom during the trial still don't believe Shakur died, believing he faked his own death and is living in Cuba.

Williams said she was in denial when she first saw Shakur's autopsy photos but sadly came around to realize he was gone

"He would want to have justice," she said. "He would want to keep his name and legacy alive."

Strike on Ukraine warehouse kills 37 in the war's deadliest attack this year

said in a statement.

BY KATIE MARIE DAVIES, DAN BASHAKOV

AND VOLODYMR YURCHUK Associated Press

MYLA, UKRAINE — A Russian drone struck a warehouse west of Kyiv that Ukrainian officials say was storing shells, mines and other ammunition, sparking massive explosions and fires that swept through dozens of nearby homes and buildings and killing 37 people.

The Friday night attack on the warehouse in Myla, a village in the Bucha district, was the war's deadliest attack this year and came on the second of three days of nearly round-the-clock Russian strikes that have severely disrupted life in and around the Ukrainian capital.

Attacks on the capital and, to a lesser extent, the rest of Ukraine have been nearly constant since Thursday. Kyiv officials say Russia builds up missile stocks and launches major attacks every few days, hoping to exhaust Ukrainian defenses through the sheer weight of numbers.

The warehouse strike sparked fires that raced through homes and damaged at least 50 residential buildings, said Tymur Tkachenko, who heads the local regional military administration. He was later cited by local media as saying 34 of the people killed were residents of a care home for elderly and disabled people. More than 370 people were evacuated.

The blasts rocked Myla, causing people to frantically seek cover.

"At about 8 p.m., the drone hit a warehouse somewhere and then the detonation began," Oleksandr Vodolaz, a village resident, told the Associated Press. "No one knew that weapons were stored there."

Another local, Zhanna Kravchuk, said she had so many questions about what happened.

“Why are weapons like this ... in warehouses and not on the front lines where they would help?” she said.

As crews raced to get people to safety and extinguish blazes, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the attack as a “terrible situation” and said it appeared to be the result of “terrible negligence on the part of those who stored explosives right next to people."

He noted that Ukrainian law forbids the storage of ammunition close to people's homes and said criminal proceedings had been opened.

“Those who allowed this to happen must be held accountable for their decisions,” the president said.

Kyiv investigates warehouse targeted in attack

In a social media post Saturday, Zelensky shed more light on the situation.

"The first strike was on an ammunition storage site that definitely shouldn't have been there – a Defense Forces storage facility. Shells, mines, other ammunition, and drones detonated."

Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi didn't specify what was in the warehouse, but he referenced a July attack on the Kyiv suburb of Vyshneve that struck an ammunition depot, killing 22 people and triggering detonations and fires that tore through nearby homes.

“Unfortunately, we can already see that the terrible tragedy in Vyshneve did not become a lesson,” Koretskyi said. “In the fifth year of a full-scale invasion, making the same mistakes is criminal negligence. And all those guilty, without exception, must be severely punished so that such situations do not happen again.”

The 37 killed surpassed the 31 who died in a July 2 strike on Kyiv, which had been the war's deadliest attack of 2026.

Russia's Defense Ministry said it hit a warehouse in Myla that was storing components and launch boosters for long-range drones. It also said it attacked the ports of Mykolaiv and Izmail, and a logistics center and warehouse facilities storing parts for Ukraine's Flamingo cruise missiles in the Kyiv region.

Russian jet-powered drones pose a problem for Kyiv

Russian strikes damaged homes and apartment blocks in the southern Kherson region on Saturday, killing two people and wounding 27 more, including a child, Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the region administration,

Prokudin said earlier in the week that Russia had intensified its attacks on critical infrastructure in the region, which is about 70 percent under Russian control. He also urged tens of thousands of residents to move to safer regions because of the possibility of prolonged power and heating outages this winter.

Although officials haven't said whether they were used in the warehouse attack, Russia has significantly increased its use of jet-powered drones, and their numbers will keep growing as Moscow sees their effectiveness, Pavlo Palisa, deputy head of Ukraine's presidential office, told reporters Friday.

“Means of attack always outpace means of defense. We will certainly need to adapt. It will take time,” Palisa said. He said interceptor drones currently available to Ukraine, which could theoretically intercept jet-powered drones, have not yet demonstrated the expected effectiveness, though Ukraine is working on solutions.

Ukraine vows to increase long-range strikes

Meanwhile, Ukraine has stepped up its long-range attacks on Russian military industries and energy facilities in recent months. The attacks, which use domestically made drones, are meant to cut into a source of Moscow's war funding and make Russians feel the consequences.

In his evening statement to the nation Friday, Zelensky said Kyiv hoped to increase its long-range strikes to reach 1000 drone launches every day.

“Right now, we average over 300 of our long-range sanctions,” Zelensky said, his preferred term for Kyiv’s long-range attacks that have also lately targeted Russian large-scale online retailers. “There must be more. We have a very specific goal, and we will achieve it.”

Moscow's forces destroyed 313 Ukrainian drones overnight, Russia's Defense Ministry said Saturday.

Davies reported from Manchester, England, and Yurchuk from Kyiv. Associated Press reporter Ignatius Ivlev-Yorke contributed to this report.

UAE views Trump as a key partner in quest to be AI powerhouse

Its support for U.S. war in Iran has also strengthened its alliance

BY RACHEL CHASON AND EVAN HALPER

ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES — The United Arab Emirates is betting big on artificial intelligence — and sees President Donald Trump as its champion.

Trump's announcement last year that the United States and the UAE would partner to build a five-gigawatt, \$30 billion AI campus was hailed as a triumph here — positioning this Persian Gulf nation of 11 million to become a global AI powerhouse.

The UAE, which has turned to AI to diversify its oil-based economy, saw its ambitions limited by the Biden administration, which put up guardrails on the proliferation of sensitive U.S. technology to certain countries.

The Trump administration, however, recently made it easier for the UAE to access American AI chips — a move widely seen in the industry as a reward to the UAE for its cooperation and support in Washington's war against Iran.

The fate of the UAE's AI industry will have major implications in the competition between the U.S. and China to develop the most commercially successful AI technology. It will also help determine which nations benefit most from the lucrative sector, experts say.

Talal Al Kaissi, the chief global affairs officer at G42, the UAE's state-backed AI company, said the entire industry is in a race to get infrastructure up and running, with “adoption and responsible diffusion now the name of the game.”

The UAE's goal is to “transition from being a hydrocarbon economy to an exporter of intelligence,” he said, sitting in a roomy office at G42 as an AI-powered robot dog roamed the grounds outside.

G42 has long understood that AI is “extremely politicized,” Al Kaissi said, noting that the company decided in late 2022 to “sever all ties with China and to really double down on the U.S.”

But that alliance, like the UAE's security alliance with Washington, also carries high risks.

The country's AI aspirations are now threatened by the war with Iran, which is entering its seventh month with no end in sight.

Although the war lately has transitioned toward an economic campaign, analysts say memories of missiles raining down on Gulf countries, including some targeting data centers, will not fade anytime soon.

Investors will keep those attacks in mind as they consider where to build highly sensitive infrastructure, analysts say, and the Gulf now seems risky.

When Trump traveled to the

Gulf last year — the first major overseas trip of his second term — he announced AI deals worth billions of dollars in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Those deals showed the shift away from the Biden administration, which had limited exports of AI chips and models, said Mohammed Soliman, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute.

Trump administration officials, on the other hand, took an opposite approach. “Their idea was that we need to diffuse American infrastructure, that we want to be everywhere,” Soliman said.

Trump's announcements were met with skepticism by some in Washington, who worried they would result in intelligence leaks to China.

Others accused Trump of being too closely tied in business to Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the UAE's national security adviser, who oversees G42, pointing out his substantial investments in Trump's cryptocurrency business.

But in the UAE, Trump's announcements were widely celebrated as cementing AI “as its number one priority,” said Abdulkhaleq Abdulla, an Emirati analyst and a retired political science professor at United Arab Emirates University.

“This country has spent one-fourth of its oil revenue in the last 50 years creating state-of-the-art physical infrastructure,” Abdulla said. “Now, we’ve made the decision to spend as much on digital infrastructure.”

Microsoft ranks the UAE as the top country in the world when it comes to AI adoption, with the technology underpinning everything from police to passport services in this wealthy nation. The UAE since 2017 has had a government minister dedicated to AI and in 2021 opened a university focused specifically on the industry.

The advantages of building in the UAE were clear, said Soliman, including abundant energy, a supportive government that would pose few regulatory hurdles and the country's sheer wealth.

When it comes to data centers, every gigawatt costs at least \$30 billion to \$50 billion, he said. "Who else can front that kind of capital?" he asked.

For tech companies, there are limited options.

They are building as fast as they can in the U.S. and, to a lesser extent, in Europe, but are hitting obstacles. Public opposition is mounting. Lawmakers across the U.S. and Europe are joining constituents in attacking plans for the AI build-out.

Power grids in the U.S. are quickly getting tapped out. The wait time to patch a data center into regional grids has grown to years. Regulators, meanwhile, are facing pressure to reject such linkups as ratepayers complain that big data centers are driving up everyone's energy bills.

“Demand for these projects is so high that even with everything that happened over the past several months, I suspect the build-out in the Gulf will continue,” said Michael Sobolik, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank focusing on defense and energy.

A decision in June by the Commerce Department to put the UAE in the same category as European nations, India and South Korea when it comes to AI chips seemed to support the UAE's bet. Soliman said that decision probably was “not caused by the war but accelerated by it.”

“Washington,” Soliman said, “needed to create incentives for its allies because of the war.”

But analysts caution that war will change how developers approach the region. Sobolik said that “there will be a lot of lessons learned and a whole lot of infrastructure-hardening."

“That will be messy and take time,” he said. “It is also going to be expensive.”

It is also not yet clear how companies will even go about it. “Drone attacks strike with an overwhelming speed and intensity,” Sobolik said.

The research firm Capstone, which also expects robust investment in Gulf data centers, cautioned that investors are going to need to recalibrate their thinking on the region.

"The bubble has been pierced in terms of the perception of the Gulf as this alternative Middle East," said Elena McGovern, cohead of Capstone's national security team. "We may go back to a more peaceful time, but there will be no going back to full sta-"

tus quo as it existed before this conflict."

But Capstone, like others in the industry, are not betting against the Gulf states. Rather, they expect big tech companies will find strategies and contingency plans to mitigate risk and “harden” their infrastructure.

Amazon, whose founder Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post, is reluctant to share details about the damage at its UAE data centers or how much of its operations are back online. The company instead has stressed that it has substantial backup capability, allowing customers to avoid disruption.

On the most recent update on its website, Amazon Web Services said that data centers in the UAE remain “unable to reli-

Vili Lehdonvirta, a professor of technology policy at Aalto University and senior fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute, said that one big question is “human capital.”

While the physical infrastructure might continue to be built, Lehdonvirta said, the Gulf relies heavily on expat tech workers, who might be less willing to move because of the war and whose absence would hinder industry growth.

Regardless, he said, it seems clear that the UAE and U.S. will remain intertwined when it comes to AI. The UAE needs American chips, he said, while for the U.S., stepping back would mean potentially ceding ground to China.

“It goes both ways,” Lehdon-virta said. “Both sides are too dependent on each other, and neither side can step back.”

Already, the UAE is transitioning from a country that buys technology related to AI to one that manufactures it, said Dani Halabi, the co-founder of Lev Tech, a company that designs and manufactures cooling technology for AI data centers.

“Companies are no longer looking at the UAE only as a market to sell into,” Halabi said. “They are setting up local manufacturing, regional hubs and technical capabilities around data-center infrastructure.”

In the headquarters of G42, Al Kaissi said construction on the five-gigawatt campus is moving ahead at “breakneck speed,” adding that he is confident war would not impede plans and that the first 200 megawatts “are nearing operations soon.”

“It is not yesterday that we found ourselves in a dangerous neighborhood,” he said. “We have always been able to create the right level of risk mitigation strategies.”

Two sold-out performances by Kanye West in Russia have been scrapped

BY MARY ILYUSHINA

YASIN AKGUL/AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Kanye West, the controversial hip-hop artist, fashion designer and instigator of outrage, now known as Ye, has had two sold-out shows in Russia canceled — a striking development in a country that has cast itself as immune to Western-style cancel culture.

Ye was booked in October for two nights at St. Petersburg's Gazprom Arena, which seats about 80,000.

But with Russia fighting a war in Ukraine that President Vladimir Putin repeatedly describes as a fight against Nazism, Ye's reputation for making antisemitic statements presented a problem.

The venue this week said no contract had been signed with the promoter and the shows would not take place there, despite the big ticket sales.

The cancellation, which Ye has not yet confirmed, highlights a tension between Russians who want to feel part of an international community and those who insist on rejecting anything or anyone contradicting the Kremlin-cultivated image of an ultrapatriotic nation skeptical of the West.

The shows, planned for Oct. 10 and 11, would have marked the biggest performances in Russia by an international star since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Since then, A-listers have shunned the country and Moscow has faced heavy sanctions, including by the United States.

Initially Gazprom Arena publicized the shows, calling Ye “the most influential musical artist of our time.”

"This is no joke!" read an Instagram post, which is still up.

But just a week later, the venue abruptly reversed course. The promoter, Say Agency, contested this version of events and said it was working on salvaging Ye's shows in Russia.

Ye has faced entry bans and concert cancellations across Europe since 2023 over his antisemitic remarks and praise of Adolf Hitler. On May 8, 2025

— the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany's defeat in World War II — he released a track titled "Heil Hitler."

In January, Ye said he deeply regretted his past comments, which he attributed to untreated bipolar disorder. He performed this spring in several major U.S. cities for the first time in years, but shows in Poland, Britain, France and Italy were called off.

Some critics expressed skepticism about his apology, which coincided with the release of a new album, “Bully,” and the start of his world tour.

Ye, nonetheless, has attracted thousands-strong crowds across Eastern Europe as well as in western and Central Asia, recently drawing about 118,000 fans in Turkey and performing for 31,000 in Kazakhstan, nearly 8,000 of whom flocked in from other countries, organizers said.

Albania authorized \$4.9 million from state reserves to help bankroll a July performance by Ye in Tirana, which Prime Minister Edi Rama billed as an investment in the economy.

The move was blasted by critics who alleged that it was a ploy to distract from weeks-long anti-corruption protests focused on a luxury resort linked to Jared Kushner, and on wider issues related to development in protected lands.

Russia was next on the list of countries to potentially welcome Ye, and the announcement of the two shows quickly caused a stir. Within a few days most tickets had sold out, including VIP seats going for \$1,900, according to the official retailer, with only a few pricier seats, between \$350 and \$600, still available.

The concert, however, posed a dilemma for the Russian authorities.

On the one hand, Ye's appearance in St. Petersburg, Putin's hometown, after four years of isolation over the war in Ukraine would serve the Russian leader's long-standing effort to show Russians that their country is not a pariah.

On the other hand, the main reason Ye has been ostracized in the West does not fit well with Russia's narrative against Ukraine, which Moscow derides as “a neo-Nazi state.”

Some fans who rushed to buy tickets posted in online discussions that they were happy to have a global star visit Russia, regardless of his views.

“Most people are tired of bans, but this feels like a breath of fresh air — people want to enjoy culture," one commenter wrote online as tickets went on sale.

Others took offense at even the possibility of a Ye concert in St. Petersburg, formerly called Leningrad, which endured a brutal 872-day blockade by German forces during World War II that caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.

The potential concert even divided officials loyal to the Kremlin. Some immediately called for a ban, while others urged authorities to steer clear given the general mood in the country following widespread internet bans this year and the relentless Ukrainian drone campaign that has caused fuel shortages and demolished warehouses in Russia.

The head of Russia's Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, called Ye “a very talented person in his own right” and said she would “gladly go” to his show.

Pamfilova later said she was unaware of his antisemitic remarks.

A Russian pop star, Sergei Lazarev, said the more chances Russians have to see different artists, the better.

Vladislav Davankov, vice chair of the lower house of the parliament, has spoken out against banning the concert, saying that although he himself is not a fan, the audience should have the right decide for themselves. Ye's controversies, he pointed out, were not a matter of national security.

Davankov's statement was prompted by a proposal from civic activist Vitaly Borodin, who denounced the proposed concerts as a “slap in the face to our society.”

That sentiment was echoed by the ultraconservative Christian Orthodox movement Sorok Sorokov, which has a long-standing feud with Ye. When rumors swirled about a potential show during the musician's short visit to Moscow in 2024 to attend the birthday party of a fashion designer, the movement called for Ye to be investigated for extremism, drug promotion and discrediting the Russian army.

The movement faulted Ye's track “Vultures,” which describes a “Russian” woman who uses drugs and with whom the lyrical protagonist has rough sex “for Ukraine.”

The group complained then that Ye's work displays a “direct, disdainful and offensive attitude toward Russian women or the image of the Russian woman,” and that such material is “unacceptable” on any stage in Russia.

Russian media speculated that the venue had been pressured to cancel the shows “following a call from Moscow.” Yekaterina Mizulina, a prominent pro-Kremlin internet censorship activist known for writing official denunciations urging authorities to ban things, reposted the news of the cancellation with the caption “I serve Russia.”

Beijing expands purge of generals in the latest chapter of a long shake-up

Xi Jinping is targeting officers affiliated with previously ousted leaders

BY JOSHUA YANG

Beijing widened its purge of top military leaders this past week, dismissing more generals in the latest stage of a shake-up that has removed scores of senior military leaders since 2022, calling into question combat readiness as President Xi Jinping seeks to project power across the Indo-Pacific.

On Friday, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress — a top decision-making body for China's rubber-stamp legislature — voted to remove Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli from their positions on the seven-seat state Central Military Commission (CMC), the country's top military decision-making body.

Both four-star generals had been placed under investigation in January, making Friday's decision largely ceremonial. But in a separate series of votes this week, Beijing's leadership also removed lower-level and retired officers, investigations into whom had not been as widely telegraphed.

Zhao Zongqi, a retired four-star general who oversaw China's Western Theater Command, was stripped of his membership on China's top political advisory body. Zhao, the top commander of Chinese troops during the 2020 China-India border clashes, is one of few Chinese generals with combat experience.

The latest chapter of the purge appears to target officers affiliated with previously ousted leaders such as Zhang Youxia, said Dennis Wilder, a former top China analyst for the CIA. "Xi does not only rid himself of the top generals who he believes are disloyal but also their subordinates. This is likely to continue until Xi assesses that he has completely wiped out the influence of Zhang Youxia within the military."

Separately, Zhong Shaojun, a Xi confidant and aide at one

Liu Zhenli and members of a central delegation visit a school in Changji last year.

point entrusted to monitor corruption in the CMC, was also removed this week from his post in China's legislature. Zhong disappeared from public view last fall amid rumors he had fallen out of favor with Xi.

Zhong's dismissal was a “surprise,” Wilder said. But “it fits Xi's pattern of purging seemingly loyal subordinates.”

The fight against corruption in the People's Liberation Army (PLA) could explain some of the new dismissals, said Victor Shih, a professor of Chinese politics at the University of California at San Diego, noting that “hundreds of billions of dollars” of procurement flow through the CMC each year — creating ample opportunity for graft.

"I think the enticement just got to be too much for Zhong Shaojun, even though his job was to be the eyes and the ears of Xi Jinping," Shih said.

The downfall in January of Zhang Youxia, the second-in-command of the Chinese military under Xi, was an especially stunning moment of upheaval given Zhang's high rank, rare combat experience in the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese war and longtime personal relationship with Xi.

The votes — combined with past purges — now leave the Central Military Commission with just two members: Xi himself and his deputy, Zhang Shengmin.

Xi's hollowing-out of the military top command comes even as the Chinese leader pushes ahead on rapidly modernizing the PLA — in part to meet his stated goal of being ready to invade Taiwan by 2027.

“In the near-term, this will likely limit the PLA's preparations for a large conflict,” said Zack Cooper, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington think tank, who specializes in U.S.-China competition.

Under China's “party-state” system, the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese state maintain separate Central Military Commissions, though in reality the parallel bodies usually function as one structure.

The removals Friday stripped the two generals of their positions on the state CMC but not the party's version of the same body.

Daniel Lurie, San Francisco's quiet radical

Mayor Daniel Lurie attends a community service event in San Francisco on July 11.

SAN FRANCISCO

The Democratic Party is becoming a tale of two grocery stores. In New York, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has launched a pilot program for the city to own and subsidize them. In San Francisco, Mayor Daniel Lurie is cutting the ribbon at a locally owned Grocery Outlet in North Beach, a neighborhood that has been without a full-service store since the Safeway closed in 2023.

The former is part of a national story, as the progressive wing of the party pushes its way into the spotlight. The latter is part of a quieter revolution, but it's no less transformative.

“I think it is radical for an elected official to think about his or her city and just stay focused on that,” Lurie, 49, tells me a few hours after the shop’s opening. “I think there is something that is resonating with the people of San Francisco, where they see me focus on them.”

Something is working. As of early May, Lurie boasted a 74 percent approval rating among San Franciscans. They elected him in 2024 — in a 10-point upset over incumbent Democratic Mayor London Breed — no doubt in part because he was laser-focused on reducing crime and resolving the city's homelessness crisis. "We lost our way in San Francisco, and we didn't keep our eye on the ball," he tells me. "If we do that, if we do the basics of government for the people of San Francisco, they're going to do the rest."

Lurie, an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, has had a few moments in the national spotlight, including last autumn when he asked Donald Trump not to send the National Guard into the city. The president agreed, after several tech executives made the case, too. "It's an easier process if we do it, faster, stronger, and safer but, let's see how you do?," Trump reportedly said to Lurie. But the newcomer to politics — Lurie's mayoral bid was his first campaign — hasn't spent much time looking beyond the Bay.

One of the most notable differences in the city is the reduction of street encampments. Based on a preliminary count this year, the number of people living in tents has fallen by 85 percent since 2024. Homelessness still rankles the city, but the government is succeeding in getting people into temporary accommodations. The unsheltered population decreased 22 percent between 2024 and 2026, its lowest level in 15 years, and bed capacity in emergency shelters and transitional housing facilities was reported in June to be at an “all-time high.”

“We have actually more housing units per capita — permanent supportive housing units — than any place in the state. And yet we still have our crisis,” Lurie says. “That’s because we were sort of treating the issue of homelessness as just one issue, but it’s really a drug crisis on our streets.” He wants the city to get more people into treatment and recovery, “whether that be voluntary or involuntary.”

Lurie elaborates by telling me about the city's new RESET Center. The facility, short for “rapid enforcement, support, evaluation, and triage,” is intended to serve as an alternative to jail cells and hospitals. It’s designed to help connect the homeless with treatment, and it assists the police with transferring custody of intoxicated people.

“Thirty percent of the people who have been brought into the RESET Center in the first couple months are being connected to care,” Lurie tells me. “Officers can do it in 20 minutes or less, and they’re back out on the street.”

This isn't the mayor's first foray into the issue. Before running for office, Lurie founded Tipping Point Community, a San Francisco-based foundation that works with local organizations to reduce poverty while increasing access to college education and higher-paying jobs. Its grants have helped

While his party debates abolishing prisons, the Democratic mayor is cleaning up his city. Top priority: public safety.

provide housing for more than 9,500 people.

The way Lurie talks about progressivism is very different from how his peers invoke the ideology. "We are always going to remain true to our San Francisco values, which means taking care of each other, looking out for each other. But some of those progressive values that we pride ourselves on meant continuing to walk by somebody who was struggling with addiction on the street," he says. "Three years ago, we had over 800 people die of overdose on our streets. Last year that number got down to 625. Still not acceptable."

He's hoping to reestablish deterrence. "My message from day one is: If you come to San Francisco to use drugs or to deal drugs, we're going to arrest you, we're going to prosecute you and we're going to hold you accountable. ... There is nothing progressive about walking by somebody who is in the throes of addiction and doing nothing," Lurie adds.

His attitude toward crime puts him at odds with the “defund the police” and “abolish prisons” wings of his party. Yet it’s also prompted other city and state leaders to call him for advice. San Francisco homicides dropped 20 percent last year, reaching their lowest level since the 1950s. Robberies and motor-vehicle theft were down 24 percent and 44 percent, respectively, too. All three were improving before Lurie took office and have continued to fall. How’d he do it?

“Public safety is my number one priority. It’s actually my number two and three priority as well,” he says. We are sitting in the Real Time Investigation Center of the San Francisco Police Department, which uses drones and cameras to track crimes in progress. Lurie seems to know everyone on staff, and they appear delighted that he’s stopped by.

“It’s gotten better on just about every one of those numbers, again, here in 2026. We are a safe American city. We focus on it. ... We were short-staffed by over 500 officers. We just graduated our largest police academy in nearly 10 years,” Lurie says. He emphasizes that there is no one fix to crime and homelessness, but if he had to sum it up: “I would just encourage anyone across the country to stay focused and not be pulled in lots of different directions.”

Yet there is another national debate that San

Francisco can't escape: the looming showdown over the use and regulation of artificial intelligence, which will center on some of the city's most famous companies. What's Lurie's advice to D.C.?

“We need guardrails for this technology,” he says, but adds, “I don’t think it should be done city by city.” He hints at supporting federal preemption. “It should be done at the very least at the state level. And it would be best, I would imagine, at the federal level.”

What must be tackled at the local level is the city's spending problem. Lurie in May 2025 said that he was ending the “era of soaring city budgets,” and he's made good on that promise. He signed off on San Francisco's annual budget last month, closing a near-\$650 million two-year deficit. When asked whether he plans to rely on the AI boom to make up revenue, he's keen to stress fiscal responsibility: “Whatever happens, I want to make sure that we live within our means.”

Lurie describes how the city was “caught flat-footed” after the pandemic-era gusher of federal funds stopped flowing. He’s had to make difficult cuts to balance the budget — none of which, contra his critics, has destroyed the city’s safety net. “I’m really proud of the work that we did last year when Washington and the federal government shut down and they cut access to SNAP food benefits,” Lurie says. “We, as a city, stepped up and covered a month’s worth of it for 112,000 San Franciscans.” That money, some \$18 million, was found through a combination of public and private funding.

While Lurie isn't relying on the valuation of any particular company to keep the city's finances afloat, he is keen to play host. "The future starts in San Francisco, and we're proud of that. And we want these companies here, and we want them doing well, and we want them paying their fair share in terms of taxes." He adds that he wants CEOs to "be part of our city" and "help us build a broad and durable recovery."

There is nothing us-versus-them about Lurie's rhetoric. It's a sharp break from that of, say, Seattle Democratic Mayor Katie Wilson, who in April waved "bye" to Washingtonians leaving the state to avoid a 9.9 percent tax on income exceeding \$1 million a year. Lurie, meanwhile, was campaigning against Proposition D, a union-backed proposal that would've hiked taxes on San Francisco companies that pay their CEO more than 100 times the median salary of their staff. The city's residents voted against the tax increase in June.

The mayor is having a moment in America, in large part because of attitudes like Wilson's and grocery store stunts like Mamdani's. Such politicking has captured the nation's attention, but Lurie isn't interested in weighing in on any of it. "I don't really think about parties and ideology," he says. "I think about getting results for the people of San Francisco. That is what I wake up in the morning thinking about. It's what I go to bed at night thinking about."

The foil to the rising socialists might be found in a red state with conservative values. But perhaps he's a Democrat in San Francisco, quietly and determinedly cleaning up his city.

There's only one way progressive Christians can reclaim God

WASHINGTON POST STAFF ILLUSTRATION; COLIN E. BRALEY/AP; BLOOMBERG; KRYSTA FAURIA/AP; BRANDON BELL/GETTY; ISTOCK

BY ERIC TEETSEL

Adam Hamilton, a pastor who leads the largest United Methodist congregation in the United States, is running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat in Kansas. James Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian, is doing the same in Texas. In Iowa, two ministers — Lutheran Sarah Trone Garriott and Presbyterian Lindsay James — are Democratic nominees for the U.S. House. Another minister, nondenominational pastor Robb Ryerse, is running for Congress as a Democrat in Arkansas.

Faith has long played an important role in progressive politics, as can be seen in everything from the Black church's central role in the civil rights movement to the mainline churches' early embrace of the campaign for LGBTQ rights. Today, however, Democrats are less likely than Republicans to believe in God, go to church or pray. The new crop of faith-based Democratic candidates represents an effort to reverse that trend — one that is unlikely to succeed.

To understand why, look at the last upsurge of progressive Christianity. In the early 2000s, when I was a student at Wheaton College, an evangelical institution in the suburbs of Chicago, I remember seeing a flier on a community bulletin board advertising an event with an up-and-coming candidate for the U.S. Senate named Barack Obama. Here was a young progressive who was comfortable in his spiritual skin and conversant in the work of the influential Protestant theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. Obama represented a dream come true for the school's faculty, which was eager for an alternative to the religious right. Obama encouraged such interest, reaching out to religious voters at a "Civil Forum on the Presidency" hosted by megachurch pastor Rick Warren and inviting Warren to deliver the invocation at the inauguration.

But most evangelical voters were unpersuaded by Obama's religious rhetoric. Seventy-six percent of White evangelical Protestants voted for John McCain in 2008, a higher percentage than voted for George W. Bush in 2000. Their skepticism proved warranted. In office, Obama oversaw the expansion of abortion access and promoted LGBTQ rights

— stances that put him at odds with evangelical priorities. He also denied the Little Sisters of the Poor a religious exemption from the contraceptive mandate of the Affordable Care Act — a legal fight that continues to this day.

In the years since, the Democratic Party has taken up causes that have pushed socially conservative religious voters toward the GOP, including preferred-pronoun mandates, insurance coverage for transgender surgery, liberalized abortion laws and legalized euthanasia.

The progressive Christians now seeking office are not reaching out to religious voters by taking a more moderate stance on these issues. On the contrary, they use the language of faith to argue for positions generally associated with the secular left. Hamilton's church has sponsored “KC Pridefest.” Speaking on the Texas House floor, Talarico said that “God is nonbinary.” Garriott voted against a bill barring biological males from competing in girls' sports.

Christian voters care less about religious rhetoric or personal belief than policy. One can see this in their preference for Mitt Romney, a Latter-day Saint, over Obama, a Protestant. It is evident as well in their willingness to support Donald Trump. For me and my fellow evangelicals, an irreligious leader whose policies more closely align with biblical principles is superior to a pastor committed to a progressive agenda at odds with our understanding of faith.

This pragmatic approach is necessary. "Put not your faith in princes ... in whom there is no salvation" says the book of Psalms. This side of heaven, coalition building, trade-offs and compromise are necessary to achieve reasonable policy wins consistent with a Christian understanding of the good.

This mindset has served religious voters well. Though many critics accused Christians of hypocrisy for supporting Trump, he delivered real policy victories: overturning Roe v. Wade, defunding abortion providers, putting a stop to federal funding for transgender procedures on minors, vigorously defending the rights of people of faith and promoting school choice.

Unless progressive Christian candidates move toward the center, they are unlikely to appeal to evangelical voters. They are also unlikely to become a political force in their own right. More liberal mainline churches are undergoing steep decline. In this regard, Hamilton's United Methodist Church is exemplary. Recently, a quarter of congregations left the denomination over disagreements regarding LGBTQ rights. Talarico's Presbyterian denomination recently reported another year in which it lost members, congregations, ministers and revenue.

The identification of religion with a single political party may not be good for American Christianity, but until the Democratic Party moderates, it is here to stay.

EDITORIAL The Looming 2030s

To get the national debt under control, start with the retirement state

THE INSOLVENCY DATES for the Social Security and Medicare trust funds used to be far-off events. Politicians did little to forestall them when they felt like abstract possibilities. Now, they're right around

the corner.

The main Social Security trust fund will go insolvent in 2032, during the next president's term in office, according to this year's trustees report. The Medicare hospital fund will follow in 2033. If Congress does nothing, insolvency would mean cuts of about one-tenth across the board for Medicare and about one-quarter for Social Security.

The trust fund concept is misleading. Both programs are, and have always been, pay-as-you-go, where taxes collected from current workers fund benefits for current retirees. Social Security and Medicare both add to annual deficits right now, even though the trust funds still have positive balances on paper.

For many years, Social Security took in more money in taxes than it paid out in benefits. But the government didn't save that extra money. Money stored in the trust fund is held in Treasury bonds, meaning the government spent it. Since 2010, Social Security benefits have exceeded payroll tax collections.

Medicare benefits have never been premised on workers getting back what they paid into the program. A husband and wife with an income around \$100,000 who turned 65 years old in 2025 are expected to receive 4.4 times as much in Medicare benefits (in present value and net of premiums) as they paid in Medicare payroll taxes during their working years. And the gap is projected to grow: That same couple retiring in 2045 is projected to receive 5.3 times as much in benefits as it paid in taxes.

Last year Medicare premiums covered 14 percent of the program's expenditures. Payroll taxes covered 33 percent. The remaining 53 percent was mostly debt.

The insolvency dates are meaningful only because they legally force Congress to do something. The Congressional Budget Office assumes in its projections that Congress will continue to fund the programs with general revenue, rather than raising taxes or cutting benefits to match what the trust funds can handle. But using general revenue would require an affirmative choice by lawmakers. They can — and should

choose differently.

Social Security is out of step with modern times. Most countries with fiscally sensible retirement programs follow the same basic structure: A tax-funded transfer payment as a floor, with means-tested benefits and compulsory private savings above that. Such a structure ensures that benefits are targeted where they are most needed without overburdening the government's budget.

Federal law goes to great lengths to encourage private retirement savings through tax advantages to individuals and employers. Americans have responded to those incentives. Retirement accounts are the largest source of household wealth, greater than home equity.

As a result, a big chunk of Social Security benefits goes to people who don't need them. Over one-third of benefits are paid to seniors with incomes over \$100,000. This share is likely to increase over time. Many younger people who are planning for retirement save under the assumption that they can't rely on Social Security.

Medicare is the bigger challenge. Its share of the economy will only increase. Taxes can't go up forever without wrecking economic growth, which would depress revenue along with household incomes. Constraining Medicare's spending growth is essential.

One way to accomplish that would be to limit the addition of new services to the program. Spending on existing services is fairly well controlled. Most of the projected spending growth in excess of inflation would come from the addition of new billing codes — that is, coverage of new treatments. Limiting those additions might be more politically palatable than other cost controls because it wouldn't require any reduction in services now covered.

Medicare should also have stronger means-testing. Well-off seniors should be paying full freight for their premiums, and average seniors should be paying more than they currently pay. There's no way to continue to justify premiums covering less than one-fifth of the costs for health care for the nation's wealthiest generation.

Politicians like to promise to get debt under control by raising taxes or cutting waste. But there's no realistic path to solvency for the U.S. government without changes to the retirement state.

The 20th-century model the country has inherited doesn't align with today's demographics. American seniors can no longer count on four or five workers each to pay for their benefits. Fortunately, millions of seniors are already doing very well on average and have significant wealth to draw on.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

This trade war won't change my bond with Canada

Regarding the Aug. 23 news article "Canada readies new tariffs as trade talks fail":

My mother was raised on the Canadian side of the U.S.-Canada border in Stanstead, Quebec. Stanstead is one of the “three villages” that straddle the border: Stanstead and Beebe in Quebec, and Derby Line in Vermont. Though the international border runs through the area — in some cases cutting through private property — the residents have always seen themselves as a united community, sharing resources and looking out for each other. Crossing the border is a daily activity for many.

I was raised in both French Canadian and American cultures. My mother made tourtière — French Canadian meat pie — at Christmas, and in the winter, if we had snow, my sister and I made tire d'érable, or maple taffy.

The implications of the current trade war are significant for Canadians because their economy is much smaller and highly dependent on the United States. But the willpower that Canadians have shown in standing up to the U.S. is impressive.

Beyond the economic consequences of the crisis, there are the human ones. Over the course of history, we've had our differences, but by and large we've had similar world views. We can compete over hockey and unite over Celine Dion.

Whether trade and international relations will be reset is hard to know, but we can hope for it. But in any case, Canadians are always welcome in my house. That bond will not be broken.

David J. Smith, Rockville, Maryland

The debate over

Regarding the Aug. 25 news article "This document causes headaches for candidates on left":

While the Democratic Socialists of America's proposal to abolish the Senate may be politically implausible, critics calling the underlying objection crazy might consult some unlikely radicals: the founders.

James Madison found equal state representation in the Senate to be fundamentally unjust, while Alexander Hamilton argued for legislative representation based on population. Equal state suffrage survived not because the Constitutional Convention considered it an obvious principle of representative government but because the Connecticut Compromise broke a bitter deadlock between large and small states.

The distinction survives in constitutional law. In Reynolds v. Sims (1964), the Supreme Court rejected the “federal analogy” as justification for state senates that gave political subdivisions such as counties representation without regard to population, requiring both chambers to be apportioned substantially by population.

And bicameralism itself is hardly sacrosanct: Nebraska abolished its second legislative chamber nearly a century ago.

Of course, none of this justifies abolishing or retaining the U.S. Senate in its current form. But it does make debating how citizens should be represented in a legislature considerably older than the DSA.

I wish I could read outside

Oh, I wish it were so that I could find an outside nook to read a good book in without being bothered by mosquitoes. The Aug. 21 Weekend article “Where to get lost in a good book" didn't mention the nuisance while sharing ideal places to read in D.C., including some outdoor spots. Unfortunately for me, if I stay outside even five minutes, I get tons of mosquito bites unless I spray myself with an insect repellent.

I have lived in the District for over 50 years, and I remember a time when there seemingly were fewer mosquitoes in the area than there are now. These days, I regret that I have little choice but to stay inside if I wish to read a good book and remain mosquito-free.

Gail West, Washington

Turf wars

Regarding the Aug. 17 Metro article “A Maryland school district’s turf war”:

Montgomery County should learn from mistakes made by New Haven, Connecticut: Don't replace any more grass playing fields with turf, and change the ones that are already turf back to grass. On a recent 90-degree afternoon, I used an infrared thermometer to measure the surface temperature on a New Haven public high school artificial turf field. In contrast to the grass next to the plastic, which was 90 degrees, the turf was 135 degrees, and the nearby asphalt was 131 degrees. I repeated my experiment on another nearby high school field and then came back on another 90-degree afternoon and repeated the process on both fields. I got similar results each time. A man walking on one track said his feet felt like they were burning due to the heat.

Save Maryland taxpayers a lot of money and keep the fields grass.

Laura Cahn, New Haven The writer is a former chairwoman of the New Haven Environmental Advisory Council.

University partisanship

I agree with John Tomasi and Tyler VanderWeele's argument in their Aug. 28 Friday Opinion article, "If universities don't want to be neutral, they should admit it." Universities with ideological missions should own it. But I don't accept that the institutions can at the same time claim the pursuit of truth as part of their mission. Looking through an ideological lens inevitably obscures and distorts the truth. A university that proclaims an ideological mission is not a university in the traditional sense of being dedicated to the dissemination of knowledge and the pursuit of truth. It is an advocacy organization devoted to influencing public policy and the core beliefs of its students.

A film still from Antonin Baudry's "La Bataille de Gaulle: L'Âge de fer."

Gaullist nostalgia is sweeping France

BY ROBERT ZARETSKY

Everyone is, was, or will be Gaullist." Rarely has the famous quip by André Malraux, the French novelist, adventurer and France's first minister of culture, been truer than it is today.

For the past few months, France has been gripped by what commentators are calling “gaullo-nostalgie” — a hankering for Charles de Gaulle, World War II hero and president. He was one of the rare individuals whose life, as Malraux also remarked, was equal to his myth.

The release this summer of Antonin Baudry's box-office smash two-part biopic, "La Bataille de Gaulle," has helped to fuel this surge of nostalgia. (The first part, "L'Âge de fer," was released a month before the second part, "J'écris ton nom.")

Admittedly, the film — based on Julian Jackson's magnificent biography of de Gaulle, "A Certain Idea of France" — has not drawn as many viewers in France this summer as Christopher Nolan's blockbuster "The Odyssey," which has already racked up nearly \$70 million at French box offices.

Yet Baudry's film can be seen as offering a fascinating riff on the Homeric epic, one that has resonated with more than 4 million viewers. After all, it tells the story of a man, de Gaulle, whose longing for home — the Greek “nostalgia” combines the words nostos, or “homecoming,” and algos, or “pain” — is realized only after a series of death-defying challenges that culminates in a bloody confrontation with barbarians occupying his land.

The film traces the arc of de Gaulle's career from 1940, when, as a still largely unknown army general who has won one of the few battles against the Germans, he is flown by a prescient Winston Churchill to London, where he launches the Free French Forces. The film ends four years later with France's liberation by Allied forces — which, critically, include de Gaulle's troops as well as the interior resistance movement. (The resistance hero Jean Moulin, whose remains were interred at the Panthéon in 1964 under the watchful eyes of de Gaulle and Malraux, also has a prominent role in both films.)

During his lifetime, the obdurate and outspoken de Gaulle was an intensely divisive figure, inspiring as much distrust and dislike as he did conviction and admiration. Since his death in 1970, though, his reputation has remained consistently positive with the French public.

Earlier this month, an Ipsos-BVA poll revealed that 87 percent of respondents in France agreed that de Gaulle embodied the ideal of a political leader, with roughly 40 percent agreeing that the political values he best represented are “the spirit of resistance” and “ability to forge a unified people.” In a 2025 poll that asked which former president of the 5th Republic they wished could return to office, 55 percent of respondents chose de Gaulle, nearly double of the runner-up, the Gaullist Jacques Chirac.

It is not a coincidence that this swell of Gaullist nostalgia among the French is happening while waves of record-shattering temperatures and forest fires ravage vast swaths of the country. The prospect of spending five hours — the combined length of the two films — in an air-conditioned cinema was, perhaps, as welcomed by Parisians as was the sight of de Gaulle striding down the Champs-Élysées in 1944.

Moreover, the menace of intense heat waves and firestorms evokes the existential threat of the Nazi invasion and occupation in 1940. It is no accident that, during a visit to Bormes-les-Mimosas, one of the southern towns devastated by the fires, French President Emmanuel Macron invoked the Gaullist spirit. After denouncing the pessimism of “our so-called intellectual, political and financial elites today whose defeatist spirit resembles that in 1940 and led to France’s subsequent military defeat,”

Macron hailed the “resistance” displayed by the French in their struggle against the fires.

Just as much of France's physical landscape has been rendered unrecognizable by the fires, its political landscape has also been reshaped in recent years. In fact, the latter has changed so dramatically that one of the parties now claiming the Gaullist legacy, the Rassemblement National (National Rally), is the same one that, at its birth 50 years ago as the National Front, was virulently anti-Gaullist, as well as antisemitic and anti-Muslim. Though its former leader, Marine Le Pen, had rid the party of its worst elements, she retained the deep xenophobia of the party's founder — her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen.

While half of respondents in the Ipsos-BVA poll believe there are no political figures today who can legitimately claim to be de Gaulle's heir, the other half are split: The two political figures who rank highest as his inheritors are Le Pen, with 13 percent, and her second-in-command, Jordan Bardella, with 14 percent. Most other presidential pretenders — from the extreme-left's Jean-Luc Mélenchon to the traditional left's Raphaël Glucksmann to the traditional right's Edouard Philippe — make claims for his legacy that do not resonate.

In “Fallen Oaks,” his account of a conversation he had with de Gaulle shortly before the latter’s death, Malraux declares, “You were alone on June 18’ — the date in 1940 de Gaulle made his famous BBC address to the French — “and you are alone today. Perhaps that was the way it had to be.”

Of course, de Gaulle cannot again ride to France's rescue. But the applause that often erupts in French theaters at the end of Baudry's film suggests that de Gaulle is not alone. His countrymen still rally behind his example in these tumultuous times.

South Carolina's Senate race just became historic

COLUMBIA, S.C.

Sen. Darline Graham (R-South Carolina) won a primary runoff election on Tuesday.
SAM WOLFF/REFUTERS

The late Lindsey Graham must be giddy in paradise.

His beloved sister, Darline Graham, won a Republican primary runoff Tuesday for his soon-to-expire Senate seat, defeating U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman, whose noteworthy liability was supporting former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley in the 2024 primary against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Trump is an elephant when it comes to politics. He remembers his enemies, nurses grudges for long periods and seeks retaliation. Trump's loyalty calculus apparently doesn't allow credit for Norman's willingness to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. (Lindsey Graham voted to certify the election, while his sister demurred when asked Monday if she would have.)

Trump's reinvention of Darline Graham from a relatively unknown state employee into an overnight U.S. Senate candidate is the stuff of political legend. The president not only supported Republican Gov. Henry McMaster's decision to appoint her as a placeholder through the remainder of her brother's term; he also lobbied her to run for the six-year seat. Lo and behold, she accepted his challenge and was camera-ready in no time.

She immediately brought to mind the erstwhile Republican governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, who was plucked from the moose-hunting fields and dramatically injected into then-Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign as his running mate.

Like Palin, Graham has an authentic down-home appeal and relates to people at the kitchen table. But also like Palin, she wasn't ready for the national stage. When she flubbed the much-discussed question about whether Taiwan and the South China Sea were important to national security, saying that she wasn't well versed on the subject, the political commentariat probably thought she was doomed. Obviously, not so.

Not surprisingly, Trump has accepted credit for Graham's victory. A Trump-affiliated super PAC spent almost \$800,000 on her campaign. And last Friday he swept into Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, for a rally, telling the crowd: “Pretend, please, that I'm on the ballot.”

Even so, I wouldn't give Trump all the applause. Keep in mind that Norman had recently been rejected by Republican voters when he sought the nomination for governor. And Graham won narrowly, with 52.5 percent of the vote in the primary runoff against Norman.

Most of the credit goes to the candidate. Perhaps counterintuitively, if you're not from around here, the smartest thing Graham did was to answer that foreign policy question with candor and without apology. Her simple, direct response was sincere and rang true to her audience.

“I’m just going to be honest,” she said, adding that national security “is not my thing.” But, really, why would it be at this point? Graham had barely buried the brother who helped raise her and was rushed to her swearing-in ceremony before she’d had time to grieve. Her mere presence under such pressure is a marvel.

Many, if not most, people recognized themselves in her response to the South China Sea question. Sometimes admitting that you don't know the answer to a question can earn a candidate as much credit as a pitch-perfect response would. One can learn. What matters more to everyday folks trying to make ends meet is character and honesty, a truth that only magnifies the mystery of Trump's grip on South Carolina.

No doubt, Lindsey Graham could have explained it. He also could have delivered a dissertation on the Taiwan matter, while possibly making us laugh. We shall miss that. His death was a blow to MAGA world and to Trump, who could count on his golfing pal to carry the torch in most cases. Lindsey Graham's friends also attest to the times he tried to steer the president away from some of his more dangerous impulses. The newly appointed senator probably won't be much help in this regard.

Finally, from the department of buried leads, South Carolina now has two women vying for a Senate seat. By November, Darline Graham might be more familiar with the issues and, indeed, ready for prime time when she faces Democratic challenger Annie Andrews, a pediatrician who also has never held elective office. Graham is already putting up her dukes, saying that Andrews is “the most radical liberal ever nominated for a statewide office by the South Carolina Democratic Party.”

Democrats, meanwhile, tell me they're celebrating Graham's win against Norman, saying they believe Andrews will destroy her in a debate. Andrews's internal polling before the longtime senator's death found her trailing him by just three points.

Whatever happens, South Carolina voters will elect a woman to the Senate for the first time in its history — an overdue correction Lindsey Graham likely would applaud.

The college football cartel wants to huddle up with Congress

Big-time college football's season begins on Saturday. Before the other professional league, the NFL, becomes a distraction, consider three propositions.

Football is a mistake. Bodies, and especially brains, are not built to withstand its repeated collisions. Culturally, college football scratches the human itch for tribalism, which America's ethos of individualism fortunately discourages. And big-time football attached to higher education is, suddenly, educational.

It is teaching us two reasons the federal government grows: Many people demand this. And so, too, do society's big battalions, when distressed. A discombobulated cartel — the college football industry — needs Congress's help restoring order after the sudden emancipation of the working class: the players.

It is unlikely that fans' enthusiasm for football will be dampened by this week's New York Times report that at least 1 in 4 NFL players might expect to eventually suffer neurodegenerative brain disease (which can include impaired cognition, mood swings, erratic behavior, addiction, even suicide) as a result of the game's kinetic energies. Up to five years of college football are now permitted for players by the NCAA's new rules. That time is probably enough to put at risk even players who do not graduate to the NFL. This week, the Southeastern and Big Ten conferences discovered a limit to their permissiveness: They stopped LSU — a rogue football program, akin to North Korea — from recruiting two players who had suited up for NFL preseason training but wanted to return to college. There, the money is more certain, and sometimes better.

Eligibility rules can, however, be made ever more permissive by those who write them. The writers are universities and sports conferences who are in a financial arms race. But arms control might be coming, from Congress.

College athletic departments have become entwined with money-raising “collectives” through which donors finance on-field success. This, say some industry participants, can require \$5 million (at least) annually for quarterbacks who direct \$40 million rosters.

For elite football programs, success means surviving deep into the playoffs. These began in the 2014 season with four teams, then in 2024 expanded to 12. They might soon include 24 teams. Otherwise, fans of teams that lose, say, a third regular-season game will lose interest, the exercise having become pointless with the playoffs out of reach.

The writers of permissive eligibility rules are universities and sports conferences who are in a financial arms race. But arms control might be coming.

But even at just 12, there can be mismatches: Sports are meritocratic, and unless players' freedom is circumscribed, merit will move toward the highest bidders. Such as Ohio State, which will receive about \$17 million a year for putting Chase Bank logos on the uniforms of its players in 36 sports.

Under today's almost-no-rules regime, the strongest few get stronger faster than their pursuers. Pity the University of Arkansas, a pursuer.

Arkansas is home to Tyson Foods and Walmart, but has the nation's fourth-lowest median household income. The Athletic's Seth Emerson reports that the school's athletic director says: "We have per capita, I think, the greatest depth of billionaires of any state in the country, but per capita, we have kind of the shallowest pool of millionaires."

Can Arkansas compete with, say, Georgia and Florida? It cannot, without help from Congress.

Athletes exercising free agency through the “transfer portal” is a recipe for the supremacy of the few financially fittest football programs. Congress might ride to the rescue of the many by mandating competitive balance in the form of a nationwide spending cap covering all sports at each school. This is part of the Protect College Sports Act drafted by Ted Cruz of Texas and Maria Cantwell of Washington, Republican chair and ranking Democrat, respectively, on the Senate Commerce Committee.

Before becoming finicky about Congress surely having bigger fish to fry — wars, deficits — acknowledge two things. College football certainly is interstate commerce. And more people care about it than about the Iran war.

If players are generating many millions for schools, are they employees of their institutions? If so, is collective bargaining next? One certainty is that the cloying vocabulary of “student-athletes” and “amateurism” has been retired.

The college sports cartel flourished for a century in what was, for it, an Edenic paradise: Profits from broadcasting soared; labor cost the cartel approximately nothing. Now, however, it is in the interest of a majority of schools, players and fans to limit the players' pay and free agency in order to protect competitive balance.

Beneath the roar of stadium crowds, you might soon hear a sigh of contentment from the college football cartel as it is resuscitated by Congress. Take such satisfaction as can be had from this evidence that Congress can fix, sort of, something.

Pribula plays the hero in Week 0

VIRGINIA 34, N.C. STATE 8

QB is among new Cavs to star against Wolfpack

BY DAVID TEEL Virginian-Pilot

CHARLOTTESVILLE — Lost were the novelty and privilege of introducing college football to South America, Brazil and Rio de Janeiro. Lost was the vision of Christ the Redeemer peering down from Mount Corcovado.

But, oh, what was gained Saturday afternoon at Virginia's sold-out Scott Stadium as the Cavaliers smothered ACC rival North Carolina State, 34-8.

“We just showed the [type of] team that we are,” defensive end Fisher Camac said.

Season openers can be more deceiving than David Copperfield, but here are some impressions.

Pribula gets respect

Quarterback Beau Pribula was as dynamic as advertised, or as tight end Dakota Twitty said during the week: "That dude got some juice to him."

Pribula ran on six of Virginia's 15 first-quarter snaps, an unhealthy ratio for his position, but at least offensive coordinator Des Kitchings lightened the load thereafter. Pribula finished with 110 yards on 15 carries, most of them designed, with two jaunts of 22 yards.

"I love how Beau runs," Virginia Coach Tony Elliott said, "but 15 carries per game is probably not the way we want to make a living."

"I'll do whatever it takes to win the football game," said Pribula, a transfer from Missouri.

Secondary upgrade

Transfer acquisitions such as safety Brandyn Hillman and cornerbacks Omillio Agard and Jacobie Henderson — each of Power Four pedigree — have markedly elevated Virginia's secondary. Hillman's lunging interception and forced fumble were key in the Cavaliers' 17-0 halftime lead, and the corners locked down the Wolfpack's inexperienced receivers.

“Obviously, we’ve got some good DBs,” Hillman understated.

They were so good Saturday that North Carolina State quarterback CJ Bailey threw for a meager 84 yards, the first time he has been under 100 in 23 career starts.

“That quarterback is special,” Elliott said of Bailey, “and we’ll see that by the end of the season.”

Perhaps. Bailey has been special before, including against the SEE CAVALIERS ON B4

Broadcaster Karl Ravech, an ESPN stalwart for more than 30 years, on calling his final Little League World Series for the network

SAM BALKANSKY/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST
This is the 20th year that Karl Ravech, 61, is calling the Little League World Series for ESPN, which has broadcast it since 1987.

In a league of his own

Staring out across a baseball diamond one recent evening, Karl Ravech, the longtime ESPN studio host and play-by-play voice, turns introspective.

"I wonder when I'll be back here," he says. "It feels like home."

The Little League World Series has that effect. More than 240 10- to 12-year-olds congregate here for the better part of two weeks in a town that triples in size with the youth-sports gem's annual competition, which crowns a world Little League champion. Kids (and adults) trade themed pins, smuggle in cardboard boxes to slide down the Series' tallest hill, basking in a childhood naivety Williamsport uniquely captures. As Ravech often says, "Everyone's a winner."

Ravech, whose name became synonymous with the LLWS, is making his final call

BY NOAH WHITE IN SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, PA

For many wandering the north-central Pennsylvania campus — which features two minor league-size stadiums and a complex of activities and shops — and millions more watching from home, Ravech has become synonymous with the late-August baseball festival. ESPN has broadcast the event every year since 1987, and this is his 20th year on the call. Before, between, after games, he walks through the crowd and spends well over an hour each day taking photos and chatting with “youngsters” who shout his name from a distance.

“This event, more than anything else, is my thing,” he says. “I love this place. And I think most people recognize me because of this.”

But ESPN laid off Ravech, 61, in July as part of a slash that cut a handful of notable personalities, including Ryan Clark and Cam Newton, along with more than 30 off-camera employees. It was the latest of several cuts the network has made over the last decade as it grapples with cord-cutting and other industry shake-ups that

Cavalli is injured, but Nats walk it off

NATIONALS 5, MARLINS 4 (10)

Crews comes through after starter gets struck

BY DANIELLE ALLENTUCK

All season, and especially over the past month, there has been a feeling in the Washington Nationals clubhouse on days Cade Cavalli starts. He has single-handedly picked up the rest of the team at times — during the Nationals' 3-12 stretch earlier this month, their only wins came in his starts.

On Saturday, Washington had confidence in Cavalli again. But with two outs in the fourth inning, as he was holding the Miami Marlins hitless, Javier Sanoja's 93-mph comebacker struck his right calf. He picked up the ball and tossed it to Abimelec Ortiz to secure the third out, then hobbled off the field and straight into the tunnel, a trainer and Manager Blake Butera following in rapid succession.

Cavalli was not able to return, his calf tightening up too much. But after the bullpen blew a 4-0 lead, Orlando Ribalta put on a performance in the top of the 10th inning, setting up Dylan Crews to be the hero. The outfielder's two-out single — the first walk-off hit of his career — gave the Nationals their first walk-off win of the season, 5-4.

“That moment was probably my best moment so far playing with this team,” Crews said.

Cavalli wasn't at his sharpest Saturday. After striking out the side in the first inning, the right-hander walked the bases loaded in the second. He found his way out of the jam, striking out Owen Caissie and Joe Mack to end the inning.

Washington gave Cavalli some support in the third, with an assist from the Miami defense. With Daylen Lile on first and José Tena on second, Crews hit a weak groundball just inside the first base line. Mack, at catcher, tried to underhand it to Kyle Stowers at first, but the throw got past him, bringing in two runs.

The Nationals added another run on an RBI single from Brady House, then another on a double from Jorbit Vivas that glanced off the glove of left fielder Heriberto Hernández.

That put the Nationals ahead 4-0. They still held that lead as Cavalli hobbled off the field and into the tunnel, where he tried to throw a few pitches before ultimately deciding it was in his best interest not to continue. His calf was sore after the game and felt kind of like a charley horse, he said. The Nationals will see how he feels Sunday, but they do not expect it to be a long-term issue.

It's anybody's ballgame in Flushing

With Sinner out, Alcaraz rusty and Sabalenka slumping, event lacks favorites

BY BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press

NEW YORK — Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner made last year's U.S. Open feel like two weeks of killing time until the inevitable.

They had separated themselves from everyone else in men's tennis while meeting in the French Open and Wimbledon finals. It seemed a foregone conclusion they would make it three in a row, which is exactly what happened.

With the top-ranked Sinner sidelined, Alcaraz only now returning to defend his title after missing four months and Novak Djokovic perhaps finally showing his age, the U.S. Open once again feels, well, open.

Just don't confuse that with meaning easier.

"It's the same conversation," American player Frances Tiafoe said. "Still got to beat seven guys, however way you slice it."

The women's side has its own questions, with two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka losing in the fourth round at Wimbledon and both hard-court tournaments she played since, putting her hold on the No. 1 ranking in jeopardy.

The top spot in the rankings could be in reach for multiple women, and so is the trophy at the final major tournament of the year, with No. 3 Jessica Pegula saying there's no "one or two super dominant players where you feel like they have to lose in order for you to have a chance."

"It seems to me like maybe more open in a way — just because, I don't know, there's more chances," added Pegula, who lost to Sabalenka in the 2024 final and last year's semifinals.

Play begins Sunday, with Pegula in Arthur Ashe Stadium's opening match and Djokovic leading off the night session before Venus Williams, at 46, faces Sofia Kenin.

Hugo Lloris recorded his MLS-leading 11th shutout of the season for Los Angeles FC in a 0-0 tie with D.C. United on Saturday night at Audi Field.

LAFC (10-7-6) has scored two goals during its five-game winless streak, which follows three consecutive victories by a combined score of 10-1.

Lloris finished with three saves. He pushed a first-touch shot by Jackson Hopkins from the center of the area over the crossbar in the 48th minute and made a diving stop of Louis Munteanu's low shot from near the top of the penalty arc in the 63rd.

Tar Heels' win kicks off Year 2 of Belichick era

New North Carolina quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. threw for 232 yards, Aeron Burrell kicked two field goals, and the Tar Heels opened Coach Bill Belichick's second season in Chapel Hill with a 15-10 win over TCU in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic on a rainy day in Dublin.

The Horned Frogs didn't score again after taking a 10-3 lead on their first two drives. TCU got the ball eight more times and was stopped on fourth and short deep in North Carolina territory on its last two possessions.

The 74-year-old Belichick, who won six Super Bowls coaching the New England Patriots, was 4-8 in his college debut with the Tar Heels last year. That season began with a 48-14 home loss to TCU in prime time on Labor Day.

Pogacar exits Spanish Vuelta following crash

ASSOCIATED PRESS

XERACO, SPAIN — Five-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar was sent hurdling head-over-handlebars in a frightening crash that forced him to pull out of the Spanish Vuelta on Saturday.

The Slovenian suffered a concussion and broke two bones, one of which will require surgery, after he appeared to lose control when a stone came rolling across the road.

“Tadej has been diagnosed with a concussion, displaced left clavicle fracture, a stable C7 cervical fracture, and multiple abrasions,” said UAE Team Emirates medical director Adrian Rotunno, adding that he had “no other major injuries and no neurological fallout.”

TV footage showed Pogacar with cuts on his head as well as his left arm and shoulder. He swerved to his right, into other cyclists, as he appeared to try to avoid something in the road. He lost

control and flew over his handlebars, hitting his head and shoulder.

The UAE Team Emirates leader tried to get back on his bike but could not carry on and walked to an ambulance.

Pogacar was trying to become the ninth male rider with victories in all three Grand Tour races. He won the Tour de France for a third straight time and a record-tying fifth overall in July, and he claimed the Giro d'Italia in 2024.

"It's no one's responsibility. ... It's simply one of those things that happens in cycling, unfortunately," UAE Team Emirates sports manager Matxin Joxean Fernandez said of the crash.

Pogacar — who had led since winning the opening stage — had an advantage of 3 minutes 50 seconds over Enric Mas of Movistar before Saturday's stage, which did not feature any major difficulty and offered sprinters a chance to shine along a flat 171-kilometer (106-mile) route from Puçol to Xeraco. Bryan Coquard, from the Cofidis team, claimed the stage win ahead of Mads Pedersen and Jordi Meeus.

Mas took the race leader's jersey from Pogacar, becoming the first Spanish rider to lead the race since Jesus Herrada in 2018. Primoz Roglic stood second overall, 1 minute off the pace, with Felix Gall in third 1:11 back.

The 31-year-old Mas did not put on the leader's red jersey when he was presented with it in the postrace ceremony, instead just holding it up. He was also not wearing it in television interviews after the stage.

"To get the red jersey thanks to a crash, it's not a good feeling," he told Eurosport in translated comments.

At Tour Championship, Hovland leads by one

Viktor Hovland finally got a little separation at the Tour Championship, and all he had to do was finish with six consecutive putts of seven feet or longer for a 5-under-par 65. All that got him was a one-shot lead in a season finale very much up for grabs.

Hovland was at 15-under 195 in Atlanta, one shot ahead of Championship newcomer Ryan Gerard, who played bogey-free

for a 66.

Scottie Scheffler (66) and Chris Gotterup (67), who have combined for five PGA Tour titles this year, were three shots behind at 12-under 198. They were joined by the sentimental favorite, 46-year-old Adam Scott, and Ludvig Aberg. Each shot a 65 in search of his first win this year. ...

Technical is rescinded and ban lifted on Reese

Atlanta Dream star forward Angel Reese avoided a one-game suspension when the WNBA rescinded her eighth technical foul that was assessed Friday night in a loss to the Portland Fire.

As a result of the ruling that came a few hours after the game, Reese will be available for the Dream's game against the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday.

Reese was tangled up in the paint with the Fire's Carla Leite as Dream guard Rhyne Howard made a three-pointer from the

right corner in the fourth quarter.

Leite was facing the basket and trying to box out Reese, who was directly behind her. Leite had both arms extended backward in an effort to contain Reese, who pushed herself free after Howard's basket went down....

Howard's basket went down. ... Han Xu scored a career-high 19 points, and the New York Liberty bounced back from a blowout loss to defeat the visiting Chicago Sky, 85-66.

Aryna Sabalenka's recent struggles could leave the top-ranked defending champion vulnerable.

At the U.S. Open, the field is wide open

U.S. OPEN FROM B1

ready to return at the tournament at which he won two of his seven Grand Slam titles.

The most recent was at the Australian Open, but he went out not long after. Alexander Zverev won the French Open for his first major title, lost to Sinner in the Wimbledon final, then became the No. 1 seed in Flushing Meadows when Sinner determined the knee injury that has kept him out since that victory wasn't fully healed.

"It's been a couple of months now where it's been pretty similar: a lot of uncertainty, some of the top players, they're kind of injured or they're not playing. This is a little bit of the same, so we have seen lot of different players stepping up and a lot of different opportunities being up for grabs," said Alex de Minaur, the No. 6 seed from Australia.

Daniil Medvedev, the 2021 U.S. Open champion, pointed at players such as Zverev and Arthur Fils

— who beat Tiafoe for the Cincinnati Open title before coming to

New York — as players who know there's an opportunity they don't want to waste.

“For them, they’re probably thinking about it — not in a bad way, but they’re like, ‘We have a better chance without Jannik, and maybe Carlos is not 100 percent yet,’” the No. 7-seeded Medvedev said.

Djokovic exited the Cincinnati tournament in his first match and afterward mentioned an unspecified health problem that bothers him in the heat. That could make it difficult for the 24-time Grand Slam singles champion to make another lengthy run in New York at 39.

American men are still trying to end a Grand Slam drought that dates from Andy Roddick at the 2003 U.S. Open. Ben Shelton won in Montreal before Tiafoe's runner-up finish in Cincinnati, and Taylor Fritz lost to Sinner in the 2024 final in New York.

“I would say this is a golden opportunity,” ESPN commentator Patrick McEnroe said. “Obviously if Alcaraz comes back and gets through a few matches, looks good, he'll quickly become the favorite. I mean, he's the favorite right now, but he'd quickly become a bigger favorite. There's no doubt the fact he hasn't played since the spring, with Sinner out, this is a monster opportunity."

Elena Rybakina, who beat Sabalenka in the Australian Open final, is in pursuit of the No. 1 ranking along with Pegula and No. 4 Coco Gauff. Depending on other results, Sabalenka could lose the top spot even if she becomes the first player to win three straight U.S. Open titles since Serena Williams from 2012-14.

"I'll try to do my very best, and we'll see what happens with the end of this tournament," Sabalenka said.

She may be vulnerable, but Alcaraz perhaps even more so. In 2025, it seemed only one man could beat him. This time, the list could be lengthy.

"I mean, he's always a guy we're going to look at, but a lot of guys believe they cannot only get him but win the event," Tiafoe said. "It's going to be an exciting U.S. Open."

NFL NOTES

Seahawks sign embattled CB Arnold

Cornerback Terrion Arnold, who faces eight felony charges, cannot play or practice with Seattle while the league investigates his case.
JUNFU HAN/USA TODAY NETWORK

ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Seattle Seahawks on Saturday officially signed cornerback Terrion Arnold, who is facing felony charges in Florida and will be placed on the commissioner's exempt list while the case plays out.

Arnold, 23, is facing eight felony charges stemming from allegations he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men in February. He became a free agent in June, when the Detroit Lions released him a few days after the kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy charges were levied.

Arnold will not be permitted to play or practice with the Seahawks as a result of being on the exempt list, but while the league investigates his case he can be paid and attend team meetings. It is not known when he might be able to play.

The Seahawks agreed to terms with Arnold two weeks ago. Coach Mike Macdonald said at the time that the team understood the ramifications of signing Arnold.

“We also understand that it’s a serious situation with a legal matter. There’s a process behind it, so we respect that,” Macdonald said. “That’s how we’ll operate, just letting that process play out and let the league decide if and when his return to play is. We’ll understand that that’s at play, but there’s also an opportunity to bring him and give him an opportunity to earn a position here.”

- PACKERS: Green Bay Coach Matt LaFleur said there are no plans for the team to release running back Josh Jacobs, who faces two misdemeanor charges stemming from what police have described as a physical confrontation with his girlfriend.

“I fully anticipate him being a member of our team,” LaFleur said Friday night after the Packers closed their preseason schedule with a 42-38 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

The Brown County (Wisconsin) District Attorney's office filed misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property against Jacobs on Thursday. The charges arose from an incident that took place three months ago.

When he was asked about Jacobs's potential availability for the Packers' Sept. 13 season opener at the Minnesota Vikings, LaFleur replied that “I can’t really comment on that because I don’t know.”

Jacobs was arrested May 26 after police were called to his home to investigate a disturbance, and he was released from jail the next day.

• GIANTS: Taking another step to improve its defensive line, New York acquired CJ Okoye in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens.

Coach John Harbaugh confirmed the Giants sent a 2028 seventh-round pick to his old team for the 24-year-old from Nigeria.

“We see him as an inside defender, defensive tackle, A-gap, B-gap player, run stopper, pocket pusher, in terms of the pass game, and just a real big, physical player,” Harbaugh said on a video call with reporters. “A type of guy we’ve been looking for, and we’re really excited to get him up here.”

- JAGUARS: Jacksonville acquired quarterback Quinn Ewers from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a sixth-round selection in the 2028 draft.

The move is pending a physical and probably means the end of backup Nick Mullens's time with the Jaguars. Mullens was inconsistent throughout training camp and the preseason. If Mullens gets cut, it would save \$1.2 million and count \$1.3 million against the salary cap in dead money.

The 23-year-old Ewers, who played collegiately at Texas, was drafted by Miami in the seventh round in 2025. He played in four games last season, making three starts.

- BILLS: Buffalo informed veteran punter Mitch Wishnowsky that he is being released as the team began making its cuts for the start of the season, a person with knowledge of the discussions told the Associated Press.

The person said Wishnowsky's release will be made official Sunday, when all NFL teams are required to establish their 53-player rosters. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the move.

Meanwhile, the Bills announced cutting 13 players, including veteran wide receiver/punt returner Mecole Hardman.

• COWBOYS: Dallas acquired offensive tackle Broderick Jones, a 2023 first-round draft pick, from the Pittsburgh Steelers, a person with knowledge of the deal said.

The deal includes an exchange of draft picks.

Pittsburgh is sending Jones and its fourth-round pick in the 2027 draft to Dallas in exchange for the Cowboys' third- and sixth-round picks.

Jones was the 14th overall pick out of Georgia in the 2023 draft. He started 38 of the 45 games he played in three seasons with the Steelers.

Restocked Trojans roll to a season-opening win

USC 42, SAN JOSÉ STATE 26

BY GREG BEACHAM

LOS ANGELES — Jayden Maiava passed for 286 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score, and No. 14 USC opened a season of high expectations with a 42-26 victory over San José State on Saturday.

Trent Mosley caught seven passes for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Orange County product's impressive debut for the Trojans, who showcased several promising newcomers in Coach Lincoln Riley's offense. Kayden Dixon-Wyatt also caught a touchdown pass in his debut, while Riley Wormley and Shahn Alston rushed for their first touchdowns.

USC has College Football Play-off aspirations with a restocked roster around Maiava, who went 25 for 29 as the Trojans built a 35-3 lead heading into the fourth quarter at the Coliseum. Six of the 10 Trojans who caught a pass were making their USC debuts.

“Really dominated the game there through three quarters,” Riley said. “A lot of exciting ball. [Had] a lot of guys [in] their first games as Trojans make a lot of big plays out there.”

Maiava began his third season as the Trojans' starting quarterback by rushing for a score on the opening drive. Dixon-Wyatt caught a short scoring slant in the second quarter, and 2025 breakout star King Miller rushed for a touchdown and a 28-0 lead right before halftime.

Mosley slipped seamlessly into USC's game plan, leading the team with nine targets from Maiava while showing the elusiveness that made him a recruiting coup for Riley. Mosley's longest grab went for 33 yards, and he had 52 yards after the catch.

“He kind of just did what he does in practice,” Riley said. “I don’t think anybody here is very surprised. That’s kind of what it looks like most days.”

Mosley also had a 41-yard punt return in which he eluded several Spartans with a grace that had his teammates shouting.

“That kid moves differently,” Miller said. “I mean, he’s special. I love to see him play.”

New defensive coordinator

Gary Patterson's unit mostly looked sharp until the fourth quarter, when new San José State quarterback Luke Weaver led three late touchdown drives against the Trojans' backup defenders to tighten the final score.

“Fourth quarter, not up to our standards,” Riley said. “A bunch of guys got opportunities, and we had several that did not play the way that we anticipated. There will be a lot to learn and grow from. ... The way our starters played, that deserved to be a single-digit-score game."

Hawaii transfer Weaver passed for 234 yards and threw fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Jerry McClure and Jordan Anderson before rushing for a late score for San José State. The Spartans' thoroughly overhauled roster will get a boost from its strong finish to Coach Ken Niumatalolo's third-season opener.

“That’s far and away the best football team they’ll play all year, and our guys were able to get open,” Niumatalolo said. “We were able to protect against them, and so those things are encouraging. ... And when things did break down, it's exciting to see Luke extend some plays. That's going to bode well for us in the future."

Notes: The Trojans won despite being without several expected key contributors because of apparent injuries, including star defensive tackle Jahkeem Stewart and presumptive starting wide receivers Tanook Hines and Terrell Anderson.

Terrapins' renovated wide receiver room looks to aid Washington

HANNAH FOSLIEN/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST
Kaleb Webb, center, is one of the few holdovers at wide receiver for Maryland after Octavian Smith Jr., right, and others graduated.

Three transfers will have opportunity to boost an unproven unit

BY EDWARD LEE

Na'eem Abdul-Rahim Gladding is new to Maryland football. Perhaps not surprisingly, the Old Dominion transfer has high hopes for a program that slogged through back-to-back 4-8 campaigns.

“We haven’t played any games yet, but at the same time, I do feel like we have definitely been turning the right way on offense, especially through camp, even in the spring, summer workouts,” he said after a recent practice on the Stephen M. Schanwald fields. “We’ve been taking steps every day to get 1 percent better.”

Gladding, a junior, joins a wide receivers group tasked with helping the Terps improve, especially in the win-loss column. They are seeking their first above-.500 record since 2023 and their first .500 mark in the Big Ten since 2014 — the school's debut in the league.

Graduation took a toll on the wide receiver room, sapping the team of Jalil Farooq, Shaleak Knotts and Octavian Smith Jr. That trio totaled 145 receptions for 1,791 yards and 10 touchdowns a year ago and helped quarterback Malik Washington pass for 2,963 yards, the most among all NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision freshmen.

Redshirt senior Kaleb Webb returns as the team's leading wide receiver with 22 catches for 318 yards and two touchdowns, with redshirt junior Ryan Manning and redshirt freshman Zymear Smith combined for five receptions for 19 yards. Washington also leaned on redshirt sophomore running back DeJuan Williams, who set a single-season program record for receiving yards by a tailback with 426 on 45 catches and added one score, and redshirt junior tight end Dorian Fleming, who hauled in 40 passes for 351 yards and three touchdowns.

The 6-foot-5, 201-pound Webb said frequent discussions with wide receivers coach Latrell Scott in the offseason have impressed upon him that expectations are high.

“He kind of wanted to drill into my head that he’s putting a lot of faith in me, and he’s expecting me to take a big jump from Year 1 and Year 2 here,” he said. “And I’m excited, honestly. Last year, I wanted to just take advantage of the opportunities I did have. So I want to carry that same mindset this year, and I feel like everything will just kind of take care of itself from there."

To help rectify the situation, Maryland landed three transfers, all of whom are juniors. The 6-0, 190-pound Gladding led Old Dominion in receptions (51) and touchdown catches (six) en route to being named an all-Sun Belt honorable mention; the 5-11, 173-pound Chris Durr Jr. paced Wyoming in receptions (45), yards (469) and touchdowns (four); and the 6-0, 190-pound Ejani Shakir led Independence Community College (Kansas) in catches (43), yards (724) and touchdowns (six) while being recognized as an all-Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference first-team choice.

Washington, a Glen Burnie native and Spalding graduate, said he trusts in his wideouts.

“We’ve got some pretty good players in the receiver corps,” he said. “Those boys are doing their thing. I’m really proud of them and all the stuff they’ve undertaken.”

Coach Michael Locksley admitted that he thought last year's corps was talented enough to be more productive. He also likes what he has seen from this year's wide receivers.

"I've been pleased with the connection that they've had with the quarterback," he said. "But with this receiving corps, it's not just one guy.... We have a bunch of guys that have made some plays throughout camp."

Offensive coordinator Clint Trickett said he is happy with the receivers, but he's curious to see who emerges as starters.

“And then we have some guys that have been waiting in the wings that have done a phenomenal job,” he said on media day Aug. 5. “Wanting to see them take that next step, and they definitely have. So whether it be [senior] Jordan Scott, [freshman] Josiah Teasley, Zymear, there’s a bunch of them, Ryan Manning. I’m excited to see them all go out there and put their best foot forward.”

Both Trickett and Locksley have expressed a desire to see Washington use his mobility to gain yards on the ground. He can also buy time in the pocket with his legs, but Gladding said the onus is on him and his teammates to get open.

"It's our job as receivers to make his life easier and his job as a quarterback to make our lives easier," he said. "When everything's going, the chemistry is there. Everything is definitely going on the right path."

ANALYSIS

In Cavaliers' blowout, Pribula, defensive backs and tailbacks shine

CAVALIERS FROM B1

RYAN M. KELLY/GETTY IMAGES
"Fifteen carries per game is probably not the way we want to make a living," Cavs Coach Tony Elliott said of quarterback Beau Pribula.
THIRD QUARTER

Cavaliers last season. But Saturday, they made him look ordinary.

Tailback depth real

Virginia's listing of five tailbacks on the depth chart was not misleading. Each logged first-half carries: Jekhail Middlebrook, Xay Davis, Xavier Brown, Noah Vaughn and Peyton Lewis, in that order.

Compounding that depth is the nation's most experienced offensive line, and McKale Boley and his mates eventually sapped the Wolfpack's will. The indisputable evidence was a 23-play, 75-yard second-half touchdown drive that set program records for snaps and elapsed time (12:15).

"I think that's kind of who we are," Pribula said of the methodical march.

Pass game questions, maybe?

Though Pribula found Brown down the seam for a 45-yard touchdown in the second quarter, questions remained about Virginia's passing game at halftime, especially given the lack of proven receivers. Indeed, the Cavaliers' 30-3 run/pass ratio in the first half was jarring.

But all Pribula did to open the third quarter was complete three consecutive passes, his first connections with wideouts, the last to Da'Shawn Martin for a 47-yard touchdown.

Pribula ended his afternoon 9 for 11 passing for 155 yards and two scores, with an otherworldly 260.2 passer rating.

"When you can run the ball as well as we did today, it opens things up in the passing game," Pribula said.

Other than Pribula, Brown was Virginia's most effective runner, averaging 5.0 yards on eight attempts in his first game since tearing an ACL in mid-October. He scored Virginia's first touchdown on a one-yard plunge and about five minutes later added the scoring reception.

“Talking with a few guys, just shed a few tears before the game,” Brown said of his return. “... I couldn’t do anything but thank God in the moment.”

No Kam

Still recovering from last November's ACL tear, all-conference linebacker Kam Robinson watched the game from Virginia's sideline. No worries for the Cavaliers as his replacement, Landon Danley, recorded five tackles and recovered a fumble.

"I wouldn't have been able to live with myself throwing him out there and something happened," Elliott said. "... I want to see a little bit more of him really exploding [in practice]."

Robinson has two weeks to show his readiness before Virginia's next game: Sept. 11 against Norfolk State.

The unavoidable thought is: How much better could this defense get when Robinson returns?

'He's a part of Williamsport': Ravech says goodbye to LLWS

RAVECH FROM B1

ESPN broadcaster Karl Ravech has spent time between games at the Little League World Series hobnobbing with players and fans, many of whom have fond memories of him.

Ravech has stayed at the same hotel, eaten at the same diners and coffee shops and jogged in the same neighborhoods in South Williamsport for the past two decades, though a bad knee has hampered him.

have sent cable subscribers fleeing, all while the company heaves over \$50 million at its largest names, Stephen A. Smith and Pat McAfee. ESPN declined to comment for this story and wouldn't make other employees available for interviews.

The timing of the layoffs meant no suitable replacement could fill Ravech's lead role at the LLWS for 11 days of shows, most with roughly eight hours of programming. After some consideration and a conversation with his wife, Chris, he decided he would be willing to return for a final production. It has become a tour of tears, though he says he won't let fans see him cry. "This isn't about me," he reasons.

Staying in the same hotel, eating at the same diners and coffee shops and running around the same neighborhoods every morning for decades, he has developed a rhythm. The 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. games arrive with such consistency that an ESPN aide knows to visit his booth at 5:33 p.m. to ask whether he wants dinner. (The answer, always, is “Can I see the menu?”)

"It's hard to leave it behind," he says. "It's almost like I'm being eulogized. ... I'm here because I love the Little League World Series, like so many other people here. I've spent so much time here, seen the Series grow. If I could, I'd call this for the rest of my life. But things change."

He wants to keep announcing, possibly even for ESPN. After the championship Sunday, though, he doesn't know what comes next. So every one of these moments is to cherish.

On this day, between the afternoon and night broadcasts, he and longtime statistician Michael Notaro trade tales, a habit they have carried since they started working together in Williamsport in 2014. They debate the swankiest North American city (Ravech favors Montreal), make the case that the nearby Genetti Hotel is haunted and discuss local history.

“Williamsport had a minor league baseball team, you know that?” Ravech asks. “I remember, because I’m the one who broke that they were leaving.”

“Oh, really?” Notaro jabs.

“Yep. Back in the day, I was a bit of a reporter myself,” Ravech jokes. “The Williamsport mayor had a lot to say. I remember that.”

Soon, it's back to business — “if you can call it that,” he jokes as he joins Todd Frazier and Jessica Mendoza on a pair of stools to frame the broadcast's opening shot, which always occurs under a disco ball just out of frame. He looks back, admiring the field and setting sun. Suddenly, with a cue in his earpiece, he jolts to life, setting the stage for a highly anticipated meeting between the tournament's West and Southeast representatives. He details their star hitters and the control of California's starter, before joking about how Alabama's Kinley Rasmus, a two-way star who will go on to set the record for the most hits by a girl at the tournament, might be Shohei Ohtani in disguise.

Then the broadcast cuts to kids playing on the venue's back hill as it fades to break.

"In Williamsport," he says, starting at the program feed, "summer never ends."

Growing up in Needham, Massachusetts, Ravech watched folks such as Mike Lynch on the nightly news discuss his Red Sox and Celtics. So when it came time to settle on a career, he thought “talking sports” seemed suitable.

At Ithaca College, he found himself surrounded by talent in the school's small, competitive student newsroom. He and a pair of friends, Mike Mulcahy and Bob Maxon, pushed one another, he says, spending long nights examining scripts. He would come in for a 3 a.m. radio show with 30-some-odd listeners, chasing reps, as were thousands of other student journalists scratching into the field.

“That was the path,” he says. “You paid your dues, and you’d climb. It was all about how hard you worked, but there was going to be somewhere out there for you.”

He was right, soon landing at his hometown station, ABC's Boston affiliate WCVB Channel 5, for a summer internship after his junior year, with Lynch taking him under his wing. He was brilliant on-air immediately. "I thought I was going to have to hide him," Lynch says now. "He was going to take my job. You could just tell he had it. He was funny, super smart. He could be human, and, man, could he report."

He spent three years in Binghamton, New York, as a sports anchor, and after growing frustrated when he wasn't selected for a promotion, he started cold-calling other stations. On days off, he would drive to cities four or five hours away, telling producers he "happened" to be in town and would love to get coffee. The gas bills stacked, yet soon he was in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Three years later, the real break came.

“I remember interviewing for ESPN, and something felt off,” he says. “Then I got the call that it wasn’t me.”

Days later?

“Turns out the other guy couldn’t leave his current job, and I was in,” Ravech says, smiling. “Often, in this business, that’s just how it happens.”

The work, he emphasizes, earned him “the dream,” which ESPN truly was for aspiring sportscasters. He slotted into the 2:30 a.m. “SportsCenter” before shifting to the East Coast evening slots. He began hosting “Baseball Tonight,” ESPN’s flagship MLB studio show, shortly thereafter. Aware of the need for versatility in the volatile TV industry, he angled into play-by-play duties as well.

Fans grew to recognize him across verticals. When ESPN held MLB rights, he was in the booth. A February college basketball Saturday found him in a gym somewhere in the Southeast. When Tiger Woods chased the Grand Slam in 2000, Ravech chased him down Pebble Beach with a mic.

But none of it compared to his 2006 assignment, when the network sent him to call the Little League World Series. After that first summer, he argued to return every year.

For fans and ESPN higher-ups, he struck a delicate balance. When he was on the call, the games felt like they meant the world, yet no 12-year-old athlete's mistake was singled out. He was gentle and energetic.

“And, man, was he a part of my childhood,” Declan Robbins, a 23-year-old fan, said while gathered in a crowd cheering as Ravech walked into the concourse after a broadcast this past week. “I grew up watching this, and he was always there. This is, like, weird to say: He narrates my memories."

So this has been an emotional send-off, fans coming up to him and mementos being exchanged. Ravech says he doesn't regret coming back. How could he? He doesn't know whether this will ever be the same, a feeling he has spent this past week ravaging through for an answer that so many in his profession can't find.

“I told him, maybe sometime a few years back,” Lynch recalls, “In this job, you never go out on top.”

The vibe wasn't great, he admits.

Three years ago, Ravech watched as ESPN tore a slew of his comrades from their roles with little warning as part of one of its largest layoffs ever. Prominent, steady voices and reporters such as Suzy Kolber and Max Kellerman: sliced. "You see it," he says, "but you never think it'll be you."

Which is why he broke down on an Amtrak platform in Philadelphia on a Tuesday morning last month. After he worked the night before, a reporter called asking for comment about him being laid off. Executives hadn't told him yet. The next three hours, riding back to his home on the Connecticut shoreline, "were a lot."

Ravech was making somewhere in the low to mid-seven figures, a person with knowledge of his agreement said, not a measly salary but nothing compared with ESPN's heavy hitters. Elsewhere in the company, contracts are bloating to record levels. McAfee makes around \$30 million per year, and he's negotiating a contract that could push close to \$60 million, the same person said on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss employees' salaries. Last winter, Smith signed a five-year extension worth \$100 million.

Ravech also worked more events than almost anyone else at ESPN. What he couldn't pin down, then, was why there wasn't at least a conversation about reducing his salary or changing his schedule.

“I would’ve been willing to talk,” he says. “But I never heard anything.”

He settled on the simple answer that his world was shifting around him. When he joined ESPN in 1993, the brand had little competition while still in its original wave of “sports nirvana.” Shows popped up at will, and reporters pitched targets as ambitious as their minds allowed.

Despite cable subscribers fleeing and streaming revenue projected to surpass \$200 billion by 2030, ESPN profited by \$2.9 billion in 2025. It remains steadier than many competing news organizations (even if, in some ways, stuck) because of cost-cutting and a direct-to-consumer push, and it holds the 2027 Super Bowl rights. But with tightening margins and social media driving more engagement than ever, the company's priorities continue to shift.

Last summer, Bristol welcomed its first social media influencer, Katie Feeney. McAfee will expand his role to contribute to "Monday Night Countdown," ESPN's NFL pregame show, this fall. Smith has his own digital show, aptly named "The Stephen A. Smith Show," and ESPN social media accounts haven't gone a day in years without at least one clip of the boisterous New Yorker.

If you aren't drawing eyes for your personality, you need to be cheap. Play-by-play voices at ESPN have turned younger in recent years. Anchors and reporters are taking on more assignments at their same or trimmed rates.

"It just changed," says Linda Cohn, who joined ESPN as an anchor a year before Ravech and who "mutually departed" this June. She began on the same set as Ravech, hosting "SportsCenter" alongside him, and went on to host the most segments of ESPN's signature show of any employee in its history. "But we just reached a point where it was clear this wasn't the same thing it once was," she says. She recently started a YouTube show named after herself instead.

"I'm not sure there's anything I'd do differently, or at least have known to," Ravech says. "It was still my dream. ... I wouldn't have ever imagined any of this."

Which is why, despite the ordeal, he finds himself in the wooden Lamade Stadium booth of which he knows every splinter. He isn't retiring, and he looks forward to the next crew that will welcome him. It's just a matter of where, and that doesn't deeply concern him right now.

"I'm in Williamsport," he says. "This is where I always want to be."

The morning before an early tournament game, Ravech sips a cup of black coffee at a new cafe, nodding as locals stroll through the shop's door.

He used to play pickleball in the mornings at a court about a mile from the Little League World Series complex. Here, he's made friends, becoming a part of the community. If you need restaurant recommendations, he's got them. He doesn't run through these streets anymore because of a bad knee, but he's always out and about.

“He's a part of Williamsport,” says Chris Burke, who broadcasts games at the tournament with Ravech each year. “He shows up here, and it's like he becomes one with the place. As a broadcaster, that's your dream. And Karl's the best at it.”

Recently, he has found another rhythm. In this line of work, it's difficult to grasp how you're publicly perceived. People might hate you — at least, that's what your X feed suggests after every call. But this past week, he can't escape the voices. He has had cards slipped under his door, gifts left in the press box.

“We're going to miss you,” a woman says as she walks in the front door this morning.

In a 1993 interview with the Syracuse Post-Standard, days after ESPN hired him, he mused about the job that lay ahead. “I still have difficulty walking in the door and believing I work here,” he said.

His feelings never changed, he explains now. “I’m not sure anyone else will ever get the job I got. It has, truly, been a dre—”

"We love you, Karl," a jersey-clad kid interrupts, followed by a small pack. "This won't be the same without you," their father adds, holding the door. "I watched this with my father, and you were the voice when we bonded.

"Thank you."

Ravech nods and says he appreciates it.

But after the door shuts, he looks toward the street, then back across the river in the direction of the small-town stadium he never knew would define his life. He thinks about all those who have come and passed as he has been here. The morning stand-ups, late-night dugout jokes. Childhoods and dreams. He turns back, and a couple of wet dots rest on his cheeks for the remainder of a conversation that navigates through 33 years.

Then he glances at his watch. It's 11 a.m., but he should head back to the complex, to the games, he says. With a brief wave to those hes met this morning, he's off, once more, to Lamade. Call-time is at 1 p.m. The stadium is only a seven-minute drive away, and he knows Williamsport's one-way streets better than any. He just doesn't want to miss anything.

Ravech, center, is flanked in the LLWS booth by broadcast partners Jessica Mendoza and Todd Frazier.

Juan Soto, activated from the 10-day injured list before the game, had the go-ahead RBI single a pitch after fouling a ball off his right leg, leading New York to a victory over Houston.

Soto was tended to by Manager Andy Green and a trainer before his hit off Cristian Javier capped a seven-pitch battle.

Tom Cosgrove took over in the seventh and set down the first two batters. Then pinch hitter Leo Jiménez singled, and things started to spiral. Cosgrove walked Agustín Ramírez, and Stowers's two-run double ended Cosgrove's day. Brad Lord came in, and Hernández took his second pitch deep to tie the game.

"Not how I wanted it to happen, obviously," Cavalli said. "Felt really good today. It was awesome seeing our team get that kind of win."

Erik Tolman, on limited notice, took over for Cavalli in the fifth, allowing a single to Mack and nothing more over two innings.

The game remained tied until the 10th. After Ribalta struck out Jakob Marsee to strand two runners, Marlins reliever Michael Petersen retired CJ Abrams and Ortiz on four pitches before his command wavered. With ghost runner Nasim Nuñez on second base, Tena and Lile both drew walks.

The financial (and life) lessons I learned from Dolly Parton's '9 to 5'

Michelle Singletary THE COLOR OF MONEY

During my first semester of college, Dolly Parton made her movie debut in the comedy "9 to 5." The movie's title track became my anthem for adulting.

It was the winter of 1980, and I was in my first semester at the University of Maryland at College Park. The previous summer, I worked as an intern at the Baltimore Sun.

The paper provided a four-year scholarship that included tuition, room and books, as well as paid internships at the Sun and its sister paper, the Evening Sun. If I did well at Maryland and in three more promised summer internships, a job would await me upon graduation.

I was so scared of failing.

My grandmother, Big Mama, told me that once I graduated, I would become responsible for my disabled brother, who was just three years younger than me. Mitchell suffered from debilitating seizures as a result of his epilepsy, which made it difficult for

him to work. If I could make a career in journalism, my income would support us both. And I did it, covering many of his expenses, until he died at age 32 from a massive seizure.

Parton died on Tuesday at 80. I immediately thought about how she inspired me with lyrics that chronicled the travails of women who endured sexism and unequal pay in the workplace.

I didn't realize until now that the inspiration for the song was 9to5, a Boston-based organization founded by clerical

workers in 1973 to advocate for fair pay and working conditions for women in the workplace. Parton wrote the song after being introduced to the group's mission by her co-star Jane Fonda.

“9to5 is deeply saddened by the loss of the legend, advocate, and ally Dolly Parton,” the organization wrote in a statement. “Inspired by the real stories and experiences of 9to5 members, she gifted us an anthem that has resonated for decades with working people and reminds us there is still so much work to SEE SINGLETARY ON B9

BY MIRIAM WALDVOGEL AND GERRIT DE VYNCK

When a teenage boy identified in court filings as R.K.C. didn't understand his father, he turned to ChatGPT for help.

"My dad Said that I'm will get a settlement worth of 1million dollar," R.K.C. said to the chatbot in October 2024, according to court filings. "He said that If that doesn't make me happy what does. What does he mean."

The millions of queries Americans pose to artificial intelligence chatbots each day generally stay between them and their AI interlocutors. But R.K.C.'s question and his other intimate conversations with ChatGPT were swept into the public record by defense attorneys responding to a lawsuit he filed in 2023 against Meta, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube.

Canada, pressured by Trump, wants new trade partners

BY SAMMY WESTFALL

For decades, Canadian governments both Conservative and Liberal sought greater economic integration with the United States, the world's spendiest buyer of imports, including Canadian energy, machinery, lumber and wheat.

But now, as President Donald Trump imposes new tariffs on Canadian products and threatens more, Ottawa is finding the relationship a liability. Canada in recent years sent roughly three-quarters of its exports to the United States, a dependence that has left it uniquely vulnerable to the administration's pressure.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has traveled the world this year in search of new buyers for Canadian exports. Canada needs to diversify its trading partners, analysts say, but weaning SEE CANADA ON B11

Dolly Parton performs in Florida in 2016. Her hit “9 to 5” was inspired by 9to5, a Boston-based organization founded by clerical workers in 1973 to advocate for fair pay and working conditions for women.

Parton's message of resilience offers the strength to keep fighting for your worth

be done. Through her music and her work in film, she helped bring national attention to the real issues that women continue to face in the workplace to this day: sexism, harassment, unequal pay, and how the wealthy exploit our labor.”

Wealthy export our labor. Adulting is hard enough — trying to figure out how to pay all your bills, save, maybe have enough left over to invest for retirement, and still have some fun. But when financial challenges are coupled with workplace inequity, every step forward comes with a reminder of this line from the song, “They let you dream just to watch ‘em

shatter."

I saw my struggle to make it, just like the clerical staff at the office she wrote about.

Parton sang, "There's a better life, and you think about it, don't you?"

I did.

I never take for granted what that scholarship meant for my family and me, but it came with a downside: doubts that I was equal to the White men who dominated the newsroom.

Although the minority scholarships opened a door for me, walking through it meant facing hostility on the job.

I overheard two White reporters disparaging the scholarship created to increase minority representation on the Baltimore Sun's staff. The Baltimore papers had long been criticized for lacking reporters who looked like the communities they covered.

During one summer internship, an editor made my life miserable without even trying to hide her racism. She routinely passed me over, saving the best assignments for the White interns. Once, she took an idea I brought to her and gave it to a White male intern she favored. When he decided he didn't want to do the story, she gave the assignment back to me.

Today, nearly half a century after Parton first released “9 to 5,” diversity, equity and inclusion programs are still characterized by critics as giving an unfair advantage to women and minorities who have been historically marginalized. But DEI was — and is — about taking corrective measures rather than providing unfair preferential treatment.

Even once I moved on to full-time jobs, I was underpaid when compared to colleagues with similar experience.

At times I felt that “it’s a rich man’s game no matter what they call it/ And you spend your life puttin’ money in his wallet 9 to 5.”

But Parton didn't just reflect on our struggles; she spent a lifetime using her wealth and the stage to lighten them, whether through her song catalogue or funding programs like her Imagination Library, which mails free books to children.

She was a financial role model, refusing to give up publishing rights, referring to her songs like children who would take care of her in her old age. She built an empire on her own terms.

"But you've got dreams he'll never take away/ In the same boat with a lot of your friends/ Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in/ And the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way."

This is why "9 to 5" became my anthem for adulting and continued to inspire me for decades. Music can soothe your soul when it's so easy to become discouraged. And Parton's lyrics give you the resolve to keep fighting for what you're worth, despite the adversity you face.

Brands grab the #RushTok spotlight as annual university phenomenon spreads

Verified

DYLAN WELLS

Since “RushTok” emerged in 2021, spurred by megaviral “Bama Rush” content at the University of

Alabama, back to school has been marked by a surge of content documenting potential new members preparing to go Greek.

The annual university phenomenon, which originally centered at campuses in the Southeastern Conference but has become more widespread, documents the flashiness of sorority recruitment — from highly choreographed videos of sorority sisters dancing in front of elaborately decorated houses, to day-in-the-life videos from recruits on the other side of the process sharing their outfits and reflections on the experience.

It has launched the careers of top creators and led to an entire secondary economy of businesses and content around the surrounding apparatus — from balloon companies and local catering businesses to marketing firms focused on sororities. Brand integration can bring new cultural relevancy far beyond campus. (I once dragged a confused colleague to the viral Pants Store to recreate a TikTok audio from Kylan Darnell, the queen of RushTok, while in Tuscaloosa, despite

having never been in a sorority).

This year, the viral content is coming from more campuses than ever. And instead of particular prospective members taking over my For You page this month, it has been brands showing up as recurring characters with new levels of RushTok integration, from full house takeovers to massive gifting campaigns. Brands want in with young female consumers, particularly those who act as campus creators, and by activating during rush they maximize their potential for going viral and extending their reach.

"The main-character energy seemed to be much more on brands this year," said Emily Brown, strategy director at social agency Billion Dollar Boy, who has tracked RushTok's trends and developments. She pointed to more marquee, established and mature brands like Clinique and Nike getting in on the action, leading to more competition for attention and new methods to break through.

I spoke to three brands to learn more about their strategies.

Altar'd State

For clothing brand Altar'd State, which targets high school and college-aged women as its ideal customers, rush planning begins a year in advance, with a goal of building brand awareness. For their fifth year activating around RushTok, the brand used a three-pronged gifting strategy.

First, they outfitted 34 sororities across 20 schools this fall, plus the baton-twirling University of Alabama Crimsonettes. They worked with sororities on their themes and put together look boards for the students to select outfits.

The second approach was sending around 200 PR boxes of clothes and gifts to incoming students. “Some of these girls are moving across the country. We wanted to be the first package she gets in her mailbox,” said Nikki Nettles, the brand’s director of marketing.

The third arm of this year's strategy was gifting to 30 specific college students, including microinfluencers and both prospective and current members, who were able to choose looks to wear during the rush week to make “outfit of the day” videos in.

Nettles joked that some sororities they work with have a bigger marketing and social team than her to coordinate with brands on gifting and content. Her ultimate dream video is to get the sorority girls to wear her brand's clothing in a dance video.

“Any time where you can get almost the full body of the sorority that makes those huge impacts is great,” she said.

Khloud

Khloud, the Khloé Kardashian-founded snack brand, offered free samples of their protein popcorn at more than 25 campuses during rush this year. The company said the rush push makes up around half of the 75,000 to 100,000 college consumers they've sampled products to this year.

The brand, which launched last year, also works with creators year-round at 10 campuses and does paid creator partnerships around key product launches. This RushTok season they also sent out a mailer in partnership with luggage company Béis to 250 young women and used sorority gifting to tease the announcement of their new collagen-infused tortilla chips, which sorority members showed off in RushTok videos.

“We used rush as a moment and our college community to really seed that on social before we actually launched or even teased it on our own social channels,” said Khloud’s senior brand director Tate Murray.

Murray said RushTok is a “really fun, relevant moment that kind of sets the social

context for the year of college." College customers and campus creators are key for Khloud, she said, noting, "They drive trend. They drive culture. College consumers are super discerning."

She said the brand hopes to see actual retail results of an over index of Khloud in the college markets they are activating in, and that the brand's impressions amongst the college audience have jumped from hundreds of thousands to millions in the last three months, and that as a result they have received heavy inbound interest and requests from campus organizations.

Lucky Charms

General Mills zeroed in on one sorority on one campus with one specific, decades-old cereal brand during RushTok: Kappa Delta at the University of Arkansas with Lucky Charms.

Why the multicolored marshmallow cereal? Megan Brooks, business unit director of family favorites cereals at General Mills, said that the brand had been watching sororities use luck themes like “Lucky me, I’m a KD” during rush and pulling in elements of the brand like marshmallow shapes or their mascot, Lucky the Leprechaun.

KD uses shamrocks as a symbol and green as a signature color, Brooks said, and

University of Arkansas was selected because of the campus' focus on decor and its timing in the rush cycle, allowing the brand to get into the social conversation earlier.

"There are over 600 women who are part of Kappa Delta at the University of Arkansas, and each one of them is a mini creator," Brooks said. "Really getting in deep with that one house actually allowed us for more breadth than we realized because of the reach of them all."

Brooks declined to share what the brand paid for the activation, but said that members of the sorority were not required to post about it. They partnered with viral RushTok balloon decorator Presley Paige to take over the house with rainbow decor, a photobooth and charm and cereal bars.

Brooks said creators have innovated with the brand's iconography in ways that feel more authentic than if the company put out a similar ad. "These women are at the forefront of what the creator economy is right now, and really experiencing it and building it," she said.

Chatbot conversations are being swept into criminal and civil legal proceedings

companies' apps caused him to suffer years of social media addiction and mental health problems.

By late July, R.K.C.'s attorneys had settled with Snap, TikTok and YouTube, and dropped his case against Meta, citing in part concerns about the boy's ability to go through a “grueling weeks-long trial.” The companies have denied the teen's allegations. Snapchat owner Snap declined to comment. Meta, TikTok and YouTube did not respond to a request for comment.

R.K.C. is one of a growing number of Americans who have had their private conversations with AI chatbots made public in court. As more people turn to AI for help with work, health issues and for companionship, chatbot operators have become custodians of a fast-growing trove of intimate data that can be sought by law enforcement, or companies or other opponents in civil litigation.

A Washington Post review of public records and local news stories found that chatbot logs were cited in 12 court cases over the past two years. It's hard to know how often chatbot material is drawn into investigations and legal proceedings more broadly, because police, and parties in civil cases, don't have to present in court all the evidence they obtain.

“A fifteen-year-old may type things into a chatbot that he may not say to a therapist, a parent, or a friend, and he does it without realizing that it could end up in a defense expert’s report,” Mike Morgan, a partner at Morgan & Morgan, one of the law firms that represented R.K.C., said in a statement. The teen’s ChatGPT logs had “no bearing” on how the case was resolved, Morgan said. R.K.C. will turn 16 at the end of August.

In some cases, AI companies have reported people on their platforms to the FBI, leading to prosecutions and at least one conviction.

In May, the FBI notified police in Palm Beach County, Florida, that it had been contacted by ChatGPT-maker OpenAI after a user had since March repeatedly told the chatbot of his plans to rape and murder his ex-girlfriend, according to a police affidavit. The user, identified in court documents as Darren Zhou, had allegedly spent months describing how he would violently harm his ex-girlfriend, including how he planned to wait outside her car for her to return from volleyball practice to shoot her. Zhou also allegedly told the chatbot that he planned to harm himself, the documents said.

Local police identified the woman based on information forwarded from the FBI and learned that Zhou had been sending her anonymous texts since they broke up, with messages such as “Cant wait to smell you,” according to court documents.

Zhou was arrested in May and charged with stalking and making electronic threats on the basis of his messages to his ex-girlfriend and to ChatGPT, which police said in court documents reinforced the credibility of the threats. He pleaded guilty this month and was sentenced to eight years of probation. An attorney for Zhou declined to comment.

OpenAI has said the company uses software to scan conversations for signs of dangerous behavior and flag them to human reviewers. If a reviewer determines a chat indicates “an imminent and credible risk of harm to others,” they report the user to law enforcement, the company said in an April blog post. A spokesperson for OpenAI declined to disclose how many times the company had reported users to police. (The Post has a content partnership with OpenAI.)

The personalized nature of conversations with chatbots, creating an atmosphere of privacy that encourages frank disclosure, can make logs held by AI companies richer than more conventional digital evidence such as search logs, according to legal experts.

"It's not just the question, it's the whole prompt and the background you provided and the back and forth. There's no guessing at what your thought process is and what you intended, it's very plain," said Michael Price, the litigation director for the Fourth Amendment Center at the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

"If ever there was a window into the soul to reveal the privacies of life, this seems like a good one," he said.

'Is there any way they could know'

Data released by OpenAI shows requests by government agencies and law enforcement for user data growing rapidly. In the second half of 2025, the company disclosed data from more than 80 accounts, an increase of more than four times as many over the same period the year before.

But when chatbot conversations show up in criminal cases, it's often because the person involved in the chats allowed law enforcement to access them, Price said. When police ask someone to open their phone during questioning or after an arrest, they often do so, allowing officers to scroll through the apps they use, he said.

In general, the Fourth Amendment, which protects people against unreasonable searches and seizures of their property, provides the right to refuse a search of the contents of their phone unless police have a warrant.

"The short answer is that most people consent," Price said. "They shouldn't, but they do."

In September 2025, police in Springfield, Missouri, woke Ryan Schaefer, then a student at Missouri State University, according to an arrest warrant and police report. He was suspected of damaging 17 cars in a campus parking lot late one night the previous month, the police report said. After police arrived, Schaefer agreed to allow them to search his phone, according to the report.

"How f----d am i bro," he wrote into ChatGPT around 3:47 a.m. the night of the incident, according to the police report. "What if i smahsed the s--- oitta mutlipls cars."

“Is there any way they could know it was me,” he later added, according to the report.

Schaefer was arrested several days later based on those statements, according to the police report and his arrest warrant. He later pleaded guilty to felony property damage, and in July a county judge sentenced him to five years of probation.

"In Ryan's case, it wasn't the exception," said Adam Woody, one of Schaefer's attorneys. "What these conversations show is, it's an intimate look into the individual. It's their thoughts and feelings that they don't believe anybody else is going to see."

In civil litigation, conversations with a chatbot can be collected during the discovery process, which can allow broad searches of the devices of people involved in a case. In one Michigan case, an attorney for a tire salesman sued by his former employer last year volunteered a complete search of his client's devices as a show of transparency after several months of discovery, according to court filings.

The employer, which alleged the salesman had solicited its customers after leaving to work for a rival, seized on a conversation in which he had asked ChatGPT whether his email provider could recover deleted emails, according to court records.

"I deleted a email a year ago from my yahoo account. Can yahoo still retrieve the email?" the salesman asked the chatbot, according to the court filings. "So even with a court ordered subpoena yahoo cannot retrieve the deleted email?"

The employer argued in court that the conversation undermined the salesman's claim that he had not electronically signed a noncompete agreement while working for the company. His chatbot conversations, which took place after the case began, indicated he had tampered with evidence, the company said.

In August, a judge awarded the employer an undetermined amount of attorneys' fees for extra work performed as a result of the salesman's conduct, which she ruled was "compelling evidence" of intentionally holding back information.

The judge allowed the lawsuit to proceed with further discovery. Attorneys for both sides declined to comment.

No legal protections

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has argued that conversations with chatbots should receive special legal protections, similar to conversations between clients and their attorneys.

"If you talk to a doctor about your medical history or a lawyer about a legal situation, we have decided that it's in society's best interest for that information to be privileged and provided higher levels of protection," he wrote last year. "We believe that the same level of protection needs to apply to conversations with AI which people increasingly turn to for sensitive questions and private concerns."

Chatbot conversations don't currently have such protections, said Laura Abelson, a law professor at Southern Methodist University who is an expert in evidence rules. "In an unregulated space it's very unlikely that any court is going to find that these communications are privileged," she said.

That's what a federal judge in New York ruled in February in the case of a financial executive who, after learning that he was the subject of a federal criminal investigation for fraud, consulted the AI model Claude about potential defense strategies.

The executive, Bradley Heppner, argued that prosecutors could not examine the conversations, which were obtained from his devices as part of a broader search warrant, because they were privileged, according to the judge's ruling. But the judge said that protections for conversations between clients and their attorneys did not apply: Claude is not a lawyer, and the executive's attorneys did not ask him to talk to the chatbot.

In May, Heppner was convicted of securities fraud and wire fraud, among other charges. Attorneys for Heppner did not respond to a request for comment.

In a handful of publicly known criminal cases, AI companies have taken it upon themselves to tell authorities about information users have shared with their chatbots.

In addition to the Florida stalking case, OpenAI told the FBI earlier this year about a man in Brazil who told the chatbot he wanted to hire a hit man to kill him and his 8-year-old son. The FBI passed on the information to Brazilian authorities, who arrested the man, according to a report from the BBC. OpenAI declined to comment on the incident.

After the deaths by suicide of some heavy users of ChatGPT and shootings by other users in Canada and Florida, OpenAI has said it will be more proactive about flagging potentially concerning conversations to authorities. In September 2025, the company introduced parental controls following the death by suicide of Adam Raine, 16, who had discussed his plans for self-harm with ChatGPT.

In Florida, state officials have sued OpenAI and opened a criminal investigation into the company. The company has also been sued by families of victims of the shootings in both Florida and Canada, who alleged that OpenAI failed to implement adequate safeguards.

OpenAI had banned the account of the alleged perpetrator of the February mass killing in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, for violating its policies, but declined to report the conversations to Canadian authorities. Altman later apologized for not alerting law enforcement. The alleged shooter at Florida State University, where two people were killed, had discussed a mass shooting with ChatGPT.

OpenAI has said that it was not responsible for the Florida State case and that it has a “zero-tolerance policy” for use of its tools for violence.

As AI becomes a bigger part of everyday life, its use as evidence and in trials is likely to become more prevalent. Surveys and company data suggest that more people are turning to chatbots with personal questions and that AI “agents” that take action on behalf of users and require greater data access are becoming more popular.

Chatbots are “just the tip of the iceberg,” said Andrew Ferguson, a law professor at George Washington University and the author of a book about digital surveillance. He expects AI to open much more of people’s lives to digital scrutiny. “Your entire world is going to now be available for police.”

Meta's settlement to restrict screen time, pause notifications for teen accounts

META FROM B8

Screen time restrictions, including during school and late at night

As part of the settlement, teen-specific accounts will be blocked from using Meta platforms from midnight to 6 a.m. They will also be limited to two hours a day of use across Instagram and Facebook, with some exceptions like messaging and long-form content.

Meta has also promised to detect teens' use across multiple accounts, tallying up their total and locking them out after they hit a limit. Teens can override the rules with parental approval.

Teen accounts will also come with default pauses on notifications during school hours and overnight, from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Nighttime notifications are already paused on Instagram for users under 16.

The settlement might include even stronger restrictions if YouTube and TikTok, two major competitors to Meta, agree to adopt new protections as well. If that occurs, the screen time limit could go down to just 60 minutes a day.

Quick responses to reports

Under the terms of the settlement, Meta has committed to responding to complaints made in English and Spanish about harmful content within six hours in at least 90 percent of cases. In January 2025, the company scaled back third-party fact-checkers in the United States that helped vet misleading or harmful content in favor of user-driven flags. It's not clear how Meta will respond to a large volume of content claims in a short time period.

For teen accounts specifically, Meta has agreed to maintain its current restrictions on age-appropriate content and accounts.

The settlement includes additional measures to identify users under 13, who are not permitted on Meta's platforms, as well as those under 18 who are eligible for teen accounts. This has long been a challenge for social media companies.

“Teenagers are very creative, and they’re highly motivated to access things that they are not supposed to be accessing,” said

Alice Marwick, the director of research at Data & Society.

Additionally, Meta has agreed that an independent auditor will monitor its compliance with the agreement, including models to detect the presence of young users.

What isn't in the settlement?

Some regulators have attempted to limit social media companies' ability to offer algorithmically personalized content to users, often in the form of an "Explore" or "For You" page. The agreement stops short of banning those pages for minors, which at least one state legislature has attempted to block. But it gives under-18 users an option to have a non-personalized feed that is ordered chronologically, which advocates hope will help cut down on endless scrolling.

“It’s great to see an option for a chronological feed,” said Haley Hinkle, policy counsel for Fairplay, an advocacy organization for child online privacy and safety. “But in general, what this does not address is ... placing strict limits around offering minors a personalized recommendation algorithm. ... That is a huge driver of excessive time online.”

Canada needs infrastructure and trade deals to expand exports beyond U.S.

CANADA FROM B8

François-Philippe Champagne, Canada's minister of finance, speaks about the country's response to U.S. tariffs at a news conference in Ottawa on Tuesday.

the country off the U.S. market won't be easy. Here's why.

What is Canada doing?

Carney, who led the Bank of Canada through the Great Recession and the Bank of England through Brexit, was elected prime minister last year largely on the premise that he could manage Canada through a rupture with the United States.

Trump had imposed tariffs on Canadian goods during his first administration. He returned to office last year threatening more levies, railing against the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement — a pact he negotiated and signed in 2020 — and needling Canadians with bluster about making the country the 51st state. Consequently, trade diversification has become a core tenet of Carney's premiership.

Since succeeding Justin Trudeau in March 2025, he has visited more than two dozen countries, including the first trip by a prime minister to China since 2017 and the first to Saudi Arabia since 2000.

Canadian exports to non-U.S. markets grew last year by 11.1 percent, government figures show. Exports to the United States dropped by 3.7 percent.

Nearly a third of Canadian exports now go to non-U.S. markets, the largest amount in four decades, government figures show. Carney has set a goal of doubling non-U.S. exports by 2035.

Why is Canada so dependent on the U.S. market?

There's an elegant model that predicts the amount of trade between two countries based on their sizes and the distance between them.

Canada, with 41 million people, and the United States, with 342 million, share a 5,525-mile border — along with the English language, democratic political systems and partnership in North American Aerospace Defense Command, NATO and the Five Eyes. Given their sizes and proximity, the gravity model predicts \$720 billion in two-way trade. "And that's what we do," said economist Julian Karaguesian, a former special adviser to Canada's finance ministry.

The countries nurtured that integration through decades of trade deals and cross-border supply chains. During the '80s, '90s and 2000s, Karaguesian said, "everything was on cruise control. ... There was no hint that anything could go wrong."

Karaguesian was working as a finance counselor at the Canadian Embassy in Berlin on Sept. 11, 2001. As the U.S. tightened border security, he thought, "Oh no, we should start thinking about this."

Anti-free trade and anti-globalization sentiment during the Great Recession rang more alarms. And Trump's election in 2016.

But the past eight months have been a true “wake-up call,” he said. “Finally, the rest of the Canadian establishment now realizes the full nightmare scenario.”

In Davos, Switzerland, this year, Carney warned of a “rupture in the world order” leading to a new era of “great power rivalry” in which “the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer what they must.” Canada, he told the World Economic Forum, was “amongst the first to hear the wake-up call.”

Middle powers such as Canada, he said, must let go of “comfortable assumptions” about geography and alliance memberships “automatically confer[ing] prosperity and security.”

“You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration,” he said, “when integration becomes the source of your subordination.”

What are the challenges to finding new export markets?

A key challenge for Canada, University of British Columbia global policy professor Kristen Hopewell said, is developing the infrastructure, including ports, rail and pipelines, to export goods beyond the U.S.

"There's huge demand from other countries for what Canada produces," Hopewell said. The country is seen as a "secure supplier" of oil, natural gas, minerals, fertilizers, lumber, food and other agricultural products. The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, she said, have "made countries in Europe [and] Asia very eager to try to cement their trading relations with Canada."

Canada had signed 12 trade and security deals on four continents, Carney said at Davos, naming China and Qatar, and engaged with India and Southeast Asia.

Can Canada do more business with China and India?

After the U.S., China is Canada's second-largest trading partner, and the relationship is growing stronger. Still, exports to China accounted for only 4.5 percent of Canada's total last year.

China is a natural trading partner for Canada, Karaguesian said. "This industrial behemoth needs energy. It needs minerals, it needs ores, and it needs food products," he said.

Relations between the countries were strained by Canada's 2018 arrest of a top Chinese technology executive wanted by the U.S. and China's subsequent detention of two Canadians in apparent retaliation. Carney traveled to Beijing in January to "forge a new Canada-China partnership." Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping announced a deal in which Canada would admit 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles at a reduced tariff rate in exchange for improved access to Chinese markets for Canadian canola and other goods.

Canada has set a goal of increasing exports to China by 50 percent by 2030. The gravity model shows the countries “could be doing three times more” trade, Karaguesian said.

Canada's Foreign Ministry has flagged “associated risks” of trade with China, including “market access barriers, opaque regulations,” “persistent intellectual property theft” and the risk that goods will be diverted for military applications.

Karaguesian said Canada should “be able to get past” these concerns. “Even the hawks will have to relent a bit because we’re talking about our economic survival here.”

India also presents export opportunities, he said. Its rapidly industrializing economy needs energy, and the world's largest population needs food. "That is another just immense market potential for Canada," he said. "And we barely trade with India." Exports to India were \$4 billion in 2025 — 0.5 percent of Canada's total exports.

As with Beijing, Ottawa's relations with New Delhi in recent years have been strained. Canada is home to the largest Sikh population outside India. Some members are active in the separatist Khalistan movement, which seeks a sovereign state in India's Punjab region.

Trudeau suggested in 2023 that the Indian government was involved in the killing that year of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a separatist leader and Canadian citizen, in Surrey, British Columbia. India's Foreign Ministry responded by accusing Canada of providing a "safe haven" to anti-India "terrorists." As tensions grew, the countries expelled each other's diplomats.

But amid Trump's tariff threats, Carney and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year announced negotiations for a comprehensive economic partnership agreement, or CETA. Carney visited Modi in New Delhi in March; after talks, they committed to completing a deal by the end of the year.

Hopewell said Trump's weaponization of trade has “fundamentally changed the calculus” for Canadian policymakers and citizens alike, leading Ottawa to take a “more pragmatic” approach with both.

What about the European Union?

Europe, with its standard of

In Davos, Switzerland, this year, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned of a “rupture in the world order” leading to a new era of “great power rivalry” in which “the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer what they must.”

development, shared values and bilingualism, might seem a good fit for Canada. Some commenters have suggested the country could join the European Union, though not under the bloc's current rules.

“Europe seems to a lot of Canadian establishment policymakers” to be “low-hanging fruit [and] like-minded,” Karaguesian said. And the sides do some business. They haven’t fully ratified their own CETA, but it has been provisionally applied for nearly a decade. Trade between the two reached \$178.6 billion last year.

The challenge, Karaguesian said, is neither much needs what the other is selling. “We’ve signed dozens and dozens of free trade agreements,” he said. “But it’s markets and businesses that decide the pattern of trade.” Europe already has sophisticated manufacturing, agribusiness, fisheries.

“They’re already saturated with all that stuff,” Karaguesian said. “So Europe seems great, but there’s not a whole lot of areas to expand there.”

And the United States?

Shipping containers at the Port of Montreal. A key challenge for Canada is developing the infrastructure, including ports, rail and pipelines, to export goods beyond the United States.

Werner Antweiler, a professor of international trade policy chair at the University of British Columbia, said the trade war will only make things worse for both sides.

“Trump always likes to say, ‘You know, we don’t need anything from Canada; Canada relies on us,’ and we should be at his mercy and do his bidding,” Antweiler said.

Trading with nearby countries minimizes transportation costs and avoids market and border frictions. With the “wake-up call,” Antweiler said, Canada is having “to shape up, and we’re doing it.” He cited investments in pipelines and export terminals to get oil to international markets.

“I’m sorry, no,” he said. “You have an integrated economy where both sides benefit. That’s the beauty of international trade. International trade is a win-win. Both sides specialize and gain.”

“We're spending, we're spending big-time on all these things,” he said. “We're building up Canada bit by bit,” he said.

AN ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT TO THE WASHINGTON POST

To Make a Splash (or Not)

By: Russ Finkelstein

I don't expect you to take much professional advice from the world of competitive diving. However, I am fascinated by the scoring, in particular, that a big splash negatively impacts your overall score. However, in the world outside of diving, particularly the world of work, people often strive and are rewarded for making the biggest splash possible.

In my career I've always been more motivated to do good work and make meaningful contributions rather than getting attention. However, in my less impressive moments I did feel the occasional surge of jealousy towards the splashy ones. In particular, the splashy ones who seemingly didn't seem to contribute that much, but managed to seek and garner all the applause. Truthfully, being a big or small splash person has trade-offs.

Being a small splash guy made me a better manager. I wanted the people I worked with to be the ones noticed and receive the attention and opportunities for their work. I could be a vocal champion and not feel like I was doing so to promote myself.

And yet, we small splashers may do damage to our reputations because we may not ever really be seen except by the small group paying close attention. As a result we may miss out on intriguing opportunities because word of our accomplishments don't travel quite so far. In contrast, the big splashers can grab all of our attention and force us to notice them. This can lead to a cycle of ever more possibilities, whether it's within an organization or from external parties. The media sure does like to cover a big splasher!

However, big splashers have some struggles too. They may fall into a cycle of needing frequent or even constant public attention to feel like they have any value. And it isn't easy to achieve or guarantee that kind of regular success. They might also have difficulty in creating mutually beneficial partnerships with other individuals or institutions who also crave similar attention. This might extend to talented team members who feel as though this person is an attention eclipser, blocking out others. Furthermore, splashes can also make it hard to see or end up just making a mess. Done wrong, a splash can become an embarrassment.

While it is sometimes true that big splashers are ego driven, there are plenty of other cases where they see the splash as the only way for their work to get the attention it needs, or they need, to succeed. Perhaps they have a boss who can't see them or exist in an environment where someone like them is less likely to have access to opportunity.

I've worked with people all along the splash continuum and know that their motivations are diverse. I think that finding your right spot is a bit like alchemy. Over time I've moved further away from having no splash because I realized I felt limited by it. And I realized that some of the work I care the most about and the lives I hoped to help in some way were better served by being more comfortable in such situations.

A few questions for you to ask yourself to think about whether you are where you need to be on the continuum:

- Do you feel good about the attention and affirmation you receive for the work you do?

- Do you feel like your work could get more attention internally or externally?

- How could it get more attention? What would you need to do?

- If it did, would you be the one likely to receive that attention? If not, do you wish you were?

- If you can't get that attention in your current situation, do you think you might need to work elsewhere?

- Are you open to receiving attention for these skills in another environment? (ie, professional organization or service work)

- Can you find a way to make a splash and distribute the notice to others?

The good news is that you always have the opportunity to become a different person or work in a different environment. It isn't necessarily easy, but it is possible. I hope you are where you need to be on that continuum. If not it is well within your power to do the thing that helps others see more of your impact, or to share that with others.

Call to act on voting rights renewed amid growing fears

PHOTOS BY ERIC LEE/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST
At this year's March on Washington on Friday, attendees celebrated gains made in the past and expressed concerns that such progress could be erased.

On the 63rd anniversary of the March on Washington, thousands gathered to ‘defend the vote’

BY JASMINE GOLDEN

Sixty-three years ago, civil rights leaders, joined by about a quarter of a million people, traveled to Washington for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

On Friday, marking the anniversary, thousands from across the country arrived at the Lincoln Memorial to pay tribute to progress made in the past — and voice fears those gains could be erased.

Months after the Supreme Court weakened a key provisions in the historic Voting Rights Act, speakers criticized barriers for voting, and emphasized why Americans should get out to vote as the midterms loom.

The demonstration — led by the Rev. Al Sharpton, Martin Luther King III, his wife Arndrea Waters King, National Action Network and the Drum Major Institute — began on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial before the crowd marched to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in the afternoon.

Sharpton told the crowd there were three things people were marching for: voting rights, affordable health care and diversity, equity and inclusion.

"The fact that we still have to fight to maintain and renew voting rights in this country is beyond abysmal," said King III. "And a truly national disgrace."

An array of Democratic and progressive politicians, encircled by staffers and security, climbed the steps to speak including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) and Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger.

Changes spurred safety incident

MARINE ONE, REAGAN MISCOMMUNICATION

NTSB: White House construction played role

BY LIAM SCOTT

President Donald Trump's Marine One helicopter took off from a temporary location due to White House construction earlier this month, leading to communication problems and a safety incident with Reagan National Airport, according to a preliminary report released Thursday.

When Trump took off from a temporary spot at the Ellipse on Aug. 4, air traffic controllers at National Airport had not stopped commercial flights.

Marine One is supposed to give air traffic controllers at National a three-minute warning before taking off, which allows the controllers to clear the airspace and give the helicopter an unimpeded route to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.

But according to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board, air traffic control recordings reveal the first attempt to contact the air traffic control tower was not received at all, and the second attempt was “broken and completely unreadable.”

Marine One was departing from the Ellipse while construction was underway at the White House, according to the report. Technicians later determined the temporary location was in a position that did not provide a direct line of sight for needed radio communications, according to the NTSB.

Controllers and the pilots of the president's helicopter met to discuss communication issues one week before the incident, according to the report.

After a deadly midair collision in 2025 that killed 67 people near the airport, all but the most critical helicopter flights near the airport were banned, and new rules block helicopters and commercial jets from occupying the same airspace in certain areas near the airport.

Michael McCormick, coordinator of the Air Traffic Management program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, said he was concerned by the recent communication issue.

“Since it’s Marine One, I would consider it very serious,” he said.

Shortly after the August incident, the Federal Aviation Administration said, there was a “momentary loss of separation” between Marine One and a commercial jet, after which the aircraft continued to move away from

'Perfect storm' of conditions allowing jellyfish to thrive along Atlantic Coast

BY DANA HEDGPETH

It could be a horror movie called "Attack of the Jellyfish."

The squirmy blobs that can pack a powerful sting have been out in unusual force this summer along the Atlantic Coast from Cape Cod to popular D.C.-area beaches, lifeguards, swimmers and biologists say.

This summer has been the “worst for this time period that I’ve ever seen them,” said Capt. Melbourne “Butch” Arbin III, who has served for 50 years with the Ocean City Beach Patrol.

"You've got tourists who don't want to go in the ocean because

Swarms of them bring slime, stings to region this summer

they don't want to risk it," Arbin said.

Experts said a perfect confluence of conditions has allowed jellyfish to thrive: warm ocean temperatures and a prolonged drought are keeping salinity high. And fresh water isn't coming in to churn the current and send the translucent, fragile creatures out to sea.

What areas are affected and how bad is it?

Bethany, Rehoboth and Lewes beaches in Delaware and Ocean City in Maryland — all hot spots for summer escapes — have reported upticks in sea nettles, bay nettles and Lion's mane types of jellyfish.

It's tough to get an accurate count of just how many there are, in part because jellyfish are blobs that are mostly made of water and can be hard to spot in the crashing, murky surf, experts said. They gather in dense, uneven clusters, known as blooms, that can form quickly but can also be easily

council member and Democratic nominee for congressional delegate, pushed for statehood for the District.

“D. C. statehood is a racial justice issue,” Lewis George said. “It is a voting rights issue.”

The march was billed as non-partisan. But many speakers took direct aim at President Donald Trump and his administration's policies as they stared ahead at the closed Reflecting Pool.

The event drew attendees, from New York to Houston, who gathered under trees or on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Clouds hovered above but couldn't quite quell the heat. National Park Service staff passed out bottles of water to attendees, some clad in matching T-shirts repping their organization or group.

Joseph Walker, 73, said the drive from Jacksonville, Florida, took 10 hours. He recalled that when he was younger, Walker's father came home one day and told Walker's mother that his boss threatened he wouldn't have a job if he was caught at a voting booth.

"I'm going to make sure that don't happen again," Walker said.

Fernando Zaragoza, 87 First to call

My Tío Fernando made bad dad jokes, adored his wife and mother, teased his siblings and middle-aged children, and showed his love through service. Every painted wall, mowed lawn, car filled with gas, and grocery item picked up was how he cared for his loved ones. His phone calls were short and filled with gentle teasing for not calling him first. He never missed a birthday card, baseball game or graduation. You always knew you mattered to him. I was far from the only one to receive calls, cards, visits, occasional loans and acts of service. His magic was connection.

Fernando Leonel Zaragoza was an industrial air conditioning repairman and Air Force veteran. He died March 20 in Tulsa.

Samuel Landrum, 91 A gentleman's handkerchief

My widowed father was a consummate gentleman. A general surgeon who never denied anyone care, he sometimes accepted farm produce or fishing invitations in lieu of payment. He treated everyone with respect — patients, families, nurses, orderlies and fellow physicians. As his health waned, he transferred to assisted living, then to custodial care. Many of the staff at the nursing home had worked with him in some capacity, and treated him with compassion in his last year of life. At one point, I took him to see a neurologist; he wanted badly to be cured of his dementia. He patted his hip pocket to feel for his handkerchief during his exam. It was not there. When I offered him a tissue, he explained that he did not need the handkerchief himself, but “a gentleman always carries a handkerchief in case a lady needs one.”

Samuel Edward Landrum was a surgeon and private pilot. He died April 20 in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Widowed at 56, Dorothy lived nearly half of her life alone, never remarrying. She always told me she didn't want to train another husband. To support herself after he died, she worked as an upholstery seamstress. She was a beautiful soul and my best friend, 53 years older than me. Older people are such a gift. She always told me, through and of life's trials, "You'll manage." How can you not believe that from someone who has lived through the last century?

Elinor Farquhar, 93 One last party

Grandma Elinor threw her final party this spring, hiring a magician to entertain most of her 16 great-grandchildren for an afternoon. As children their parents had spent a week every summer under her roof in Connecticut, cutting their sandwiches diagonally, placing napkins on their laps before eating, hanging their wet bathing suits on the line and — table stakes — making their beds each morning without prompting. Now a tiny woman with impeccable coiffure gripped her walker and instructed the next generation how to walk while balancing a slender book on their heads. Thank you notes flowed in weeks later, some brought by the parents seeking more time with the grandma who listened and shared her unfiltered opinion on any topic. In her final week, when she discovered the dinner table set with stainless, not silver, her physician son-in-law sheepishly admitted responsibility. "Oh, well then, that's all right," she said.

Elinor Kenney Farquhar was a Washington volunteer and philanthropist. She died Aug. 1 in D.C.

NTSB: White House work played factor in safety incident

The report said the two aircraft, at their closest point, were 0.82 nautical miles apart laterally and 700 feet apart vertically.

White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement that Marine One flights “are piloted by the finest aviators in the world.”

Although Trump was not in harm's way during the incident, Desai said, "the White House continues to work with relevant military, FAA, and other security personnel to ensure the President's continued safety."

McCormick said although the communication issue raised serious concerns, the danger in this particular incident proved to be relatively low. "The loss of separation was momentary at best," he said. "The risk of a collision was nonexistent."

Another communication issue between Marine One and air traffic controllers at National appeared to take place Thursday afternoon, according to new radio recordings that were not part of the NTSB's findings.

“National Tower, Marine One, three minutes to lift,” a Marine One pilot said about one minute before 3 p.m., according to air traffic recordings on ATC.com. About 30 seconds later, a Marine One pilot repeated the message.

When the air traffic controller did not reply, a pilot in a U.S. Park Police helicopter, referred to as Eagle II, chimed in. "Marine One's been trying to reach you, three minutes to lift," the pilot told the controller.

“Oh, I couldn’t hear any of that, roger, Eagle II, thank you,” the controller replied.

Shortly after, the air traffic controller asked the Eagle II pilot when they heard Marine One's three-minute warning.

“Literally, like, 20 seconds before I said it,” the Eagle II pilot said.

Next, the air traffic controller continued seeking information about Marine One from a nearby Medevac helicopter pilot. "I can't hear Marine One. If you hear Marine One can you let me know?" the controller asked.

Trump departed the Ellipse at 3:03 p.m. for Joint Base Andrews before leaving for Texas, according to his public schedule.

After the Aug. 4 incident, the FAA said it relocated an antenna to improve communications between air traffic controllers at National and Marine One pilots, an FAA spokesperson said.

Regarding Thursday's communications issue, the spokesperson said the three-minute notification “was communicated by alternate means, acknowledged by a controller and positive contact was established with Marine One before takeoff.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday's communication issue.

Warm ocean temperatures, prolonged drought have allowed jellyfish to thrive

JELLYFISH FROM B14

swept away by winds and tides. They also hide under rocks or docks, making spotting them even trickier.

Lifeguards at area beaches said they're getting multiple complaints — and requests for help — daily from swimmers and beachgoers about stings. Ocean City has seen more than 3,000 first-aid calls this summer, most of them for jellyfish stings, Arbin said.

Joe Donnelly, captain of the Bethany Beach Patrol, said his lifeguards have noticed the uptick this summer. Typically, the season for most types of jellyfish runs roughly from June through October and peaks in the hottest months of July and August, experts said.

This year, it's "lasted longer and with a little more intensity," Donnelly said.

Chris Petrone, marine advisory service director of the Delaware Sea Grant at the University of Delaware, said we humans are “in their house” when we take a dip in the ocean or bay. This time of year, unfortunately, our quest to escape the heat coincides with intense jellyfish blooms, Petrone said.

What's causing the spike?

Hot summer temperatures heating the water have combined with an extreme drought this spring and summer, increasing salinity. Plus, there have not been any major coastal storms or even remnants to “dredge up cooler deep water and move it to the surface,” Petrone said. That has created the “perfect storm” for jellyfish to thrive, he said.

While sustained strong winds or currents can blow jellyfish farther off the coast and give relief to beachgoers, experts said they don't expect that to happen until either the air and water cool or there's a big coastal storm and heavy rains that could flush them out to sea.

What makes jellyfish sting?

They have been around longer than dinosaurs. They don't have bones, brains or hearts, but they do have tentacles, which have specialized stinging cells they use to capture prey and defend themselves. When they touch something, those cells fire a little needle that is attached to the tentacle by a thread, delivering a toxin, according to Maggie Sexton, deputy director of the Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

"It's not that they want to sting us," Sexton said, "It's that they sting anything they touch when they're trying to find food — whether that's a rock, a dock, or us."

What can you do? And what should you do if you get stung?

No need to stay out of the water, but wearing longer swimsuits or a rash guard shirt can help. If you do get stung, it is typically a minor, itchy irritant. Lifeguards are often equipped with sting-relief wipes.

Arbin and other lifeguard officials said they've noticed some beachgoers are spending more time playing in the sand, concentrating on castles to avoid unwanted contact in the water. Some kids are collecting the creatures and chopping them up with gruesome aplomb. It's not a beneficial game, experts said. When some of the larger pieces make it back to the water, they might survive. On a social media page, some beachgoers in Rehoboth Beach threw barbs at each other about the inhumanity of kids messing with the beached animals, arguing it was either a sign of bad parenting or an understandable case of rough justice.

“Enter at your own risk,” Shauna Gaspero wrote on Facebook after her family’s Rehoboth vacation earlier this month. "We all got stung today but my son got it the worst! It was horrible."

To treat a sting, wash the area, and then apply a vinegar-and-water solution, which helps discharge the jellyfish's tiny barbs from the skin, lifeguards said.

Another treatment: use a mix of baking soda and seawater to create a paste. Hydrocortisone cream can also help to get rid of itching

and burning.

Those who have a more serious reaction, including trouble breathing, chest pain or severe stomach pain, should seek professional medical help.

OBITUARIES

MICHAEL WRIGHT, 70

Actor found his voice in 'The Five Heartbeats'

beat," he told Gamache.

BY EMILY ST. MARTIN Los Angeles Times

Michael Wright, an actor best known for starring as Eddie King Jr. in the oft-quoted and beloved Motown-inspired movie “The Five Heartbeats,” as well as the HBO series “Oz,” died. He was 70.

The actor's wife, Susan Wright, confirmed his death on social media on Aug. 21, writing, "It is with profound sadness and an unimaginable heaviness in my heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Michael Wright."

The actor's family said in a statement to TMZ that Mr. Wright died on Wednesday in Los Angeles from apparent heart failure and complications associated with Marchiafava-Bignami, a rare and progressive neurological disorder.

“Many knew and loved him through The Five Heartbeats, The Wanderers, V, The Principal, Streamers, and the many other characters he brought to life throughout his remarkable career,” the post continued. “His talent, presence, and contributions to film and television will live on, but to those of us who loved him personally, he was so much more than the roles the world knew him for.

"Our family is grieving an enormous and deeply personal loss. We understand how much Michael meant to so many people, and we are grateful for the love, prayers, memories, and condolences already being shared."

Susan Wright asked for “privacy and grace to grieve” and that “people refrain from sharing unconfirmed information,” adding that when the family is ready, they will share more about the actor’s life and plans to honor him.

She added: “Michael, your work will live forever, but your love will live even longer in the hearts of those who knew you best. Rest peacefully, my love. You will be missed beyond words.”

Michael Wright was born April 30, 1956, in New York City. His mother, Alberta Wright, owned a vintage clothing store called Jezebel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and Mr. Wright credited her with kick-starting his career. "Miss Ana Strasberg came into the store, and my mom shared that she had a son who was a fledgling actor, and Miss Strasberg invited me to come down to the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute and to have a meeting with her, and that meeting ... changed my life," he said during a 2015 appearance on "The Sissy Gamache Show."

At the institute, Mr. Wright participated in a work-study program — mopping floors, answering phones and interviewing other acting hopefuls to see if they had what it took to make it in the program. Ana became Mr. Wright's mentor and he became Lee Strasberg's secretary.

"I came to the acting process having read every conceivable thing that concerned it. ... I was an acolyte of Konstantin [Stanislavski.] I knew [Richard] Boleslavski. I knew [Yevgeny] Vakhtangov. And I understood how the process occurred — it was relaxation. It was concentration. Intent. I would score my scripts like it was nobody's business, and I would do everything word for word, line for line, moment for moment, beat for

"At the end of the day, when the man said, 'Cut,' I take that character off like this shirt and hang him up in the closet."

Mr. Wright landed his first film role in 1979's "The Wanderers" and his first big television break in 1983 as Elias Taylor on the science fiction miniseries "V," which carried over into 1984's "V: The Final Battle" and in the "V" series that ran from 1984 to 1985.

"I never decided to go to L.A.," he told Gamache. "I had to go."

"I got cast in a science fiction miniseries. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life: landing at LAX, being picked up and driven down the [Interstate] 10 and coming down Barham Boulevard and seeing the Warner Brothers studio," he continued. "It was like descending into the Emerald City. I was there and going through that studio gate, and being directed to my dressing room, and being able to have the freedom to walk around that lot and to see all of those sets that I was familiar with from my childhood."

Through the 1980s, he acted in television projects including “Miami Vice” and films including 1987’s “The Principal,” starring Jim Belushi and Louis Gossett Jr., and the 1987 romantic drama “Bedroom Eyes.”

In the '90s, he acted in a number of cult classics, including "Lionheart," "Sugarhill" and the project he's most well-known for, "The Five Heartbeats," in which Mr. Wright portrays the volatile and drug-added soul singer Eddie King Jr., widely considered the heart of the movie.

"Eddie King Jr. is without a question an iconic film figure in African American cinema," the actor told Gamache. "I can't go anywhere on any given day and not encounter people that figure me out as Eddie King. They know all my songs, and they know my lines better than me."

By the aughts, Michael was asked to audition for a one-episode role in the OG prestige HBO drama “Oz,” in which he played an inmate with a penchant for poetry.

"I went in there, and I just went totally berserk," he told Gamache of the audition. "And I went through a week of that episode, and then after that was finished, I went back to my dressing room, and there was another script on my bed. And I said, 'Okay, that's interesting.' So I did that episode. And then when that was finished, there was another script on my bed, and I said, 'Okay.' And then I did that episode, and there was another script on my bed. And so I said, 'Oh s—! I guess I must be a regular.'"

Robert Townsend, who directed and starred as Donald “Duck” Matthews in “The Five Heartbeats,” told “The Breakfast Club” in 2018 that he’d actually had Denzel Washington in mind for the role, but when Mr. Wright came in to read, he knew “this is the dude to play Eddie King.”

Townsend posted a tribute on X over the weekend, writing alongside a clip from the film that featured Wright as Eddie singing in a choir, “Tears... flowing as I write this. Michael was a ‘Pure Artist.’”

Mr. Wright is survived by his wife, Susan; children Manon Wright, Byron Barr, Brittney Briggs, Brianna Barr and Sir Barr; and a grandchild, Yoko.

J. BERNARD MURPHY (Age 91)

John Bernard Murphy II died peacefully, surrounded by his family, on August 18, 2026 in Alexandria, Virginia. He was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia on April 26, 1935 to John Bernard Murphy and Mary Condon (Murphy) Burke. Bernard (pronounced Bur-nerd), as he was known, was an only child though he had several cousins, aunts and uncles throughout the Canadian Maritime provinces. In second grade he was sent to a French speaking boarding school though he did not speak French, yet. Bernard claimed he was not a strong student early in life, but he ultimately overcame this by earning a PhD in applied social anthropology. His study focused the effects of urbanization on the family, and he went on to teach at multiple universities.

Bernard graduated from St. Mary's University, a school in the Roman Catholic Archidocese of Halifax, with a liberal arts degree, and for a short period he was discerning a call to monastic life. Ultimately, he took a position in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia teaching English and French while studying the impacts of migration on African family structure. He once traveled with a group from Ethiopia to the Vatican for an audience with the former's interests in the country. Bernard was the only person fluent in French, a common language with Pope John XXIII, which enabled him to converse directly with the Pope on behalf of his cohort, and this was a defining experience for him. After two years, he returned to Canada with a deep affinity for Ethiopia, its people and his experiences there. Upon his return, Bernard worked for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Windsor, Ontario as a public affairs producer and director focusing on the localities & anthropology and courses of doctoral studies at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI in applied social anthropology. Upon earning his degree, he joined the faculty at Ball State University in Muncie, IN, as a professor of sociology and anthropology. At Ball State, he met his wife of 57 years, Marsha Hudlow. As the story goes, they struck up a conversation at a buffet dinner for new faculty. Bernard and Marsha wed in Richmond, Virginia on August 1, 1969. By then Bernard was teaching at Virginia Commonwealth University as a professor in the localities & anthropology and sociology while Marsha was a professor of history at Westhampton College at the University of Richmond.

Bernard's study of anthropology and urban planning led to a life-long passion of historic preservation and a hobby of purchasing and renovating historic homes. In the early seventies they bought a home in the Church Hill neighborhood of Richmond, which was decidedly a fixer upper, but would become beautiful. In 1973, Marsha and Bernard welcomed their beloved only child, Christopher

MURPHY

C. Murphy, and within two years they moved to Norfolk, Va. During that time Bernard was a professor at Old Dominion University, and they purchased another historic property in the Ghent neighborhood. In 1979 Bernard took a job in Washington, DC with the Department of the Navy and they moved to Alexandria, VA. They have called Alexandria home for more than 45 years, first living in Braddock Heights and then Old Town for the majority of those years.

In his role as a civilian with the Department of the Navy for nearly 20 years, Bernard joined his passion for preservation with his scholarship in the field of anthropology. With expertise as an urban planner and architectural historian, he served as the Federal Preservation Officer (FPO) and a Special Advisor within the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) and finally within the Office of the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) until his retirement in 1999. In this senior civilian capacity, he directed the Department of the Navy's Cultural Resources Program, managing the balance between national defense requirements and the preservation of historic military architecture, historic vessels, and crashed military aircraft. Bernard could not stay retired for long, and after the Navy he became a licensed therapist in 2005, earning a post-doctoral certificate in community psychology at Johns Hopkins University. He worked in private practice in Alexandria for several years until he was almost 80 years old.

Bernard's family was a treasure to him. Bernard, Marsha and Christopher shared a wonderful sense of humor and never shied away from teasing, laughing at and sometimes embarrassing one another to tears, all in good fun. Bernard and Christopher enjoyed many ski trips together to the Rockies and to the Alps where Bernard was able to pass on his love for skiing.

In the early 1980s Bernard and Marsha joined St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Alexandria, conveniently situated a few hundred yards from their home on S. Pitt Street. Bernard served as Junior Warden and then Senior Warden of St. Paul's, and for many years he was a faithful member and lay reader on Sundays. For many decades Bernard and Marsha loved their Old Town neighborhood and their community at St. Paul's where they had made life-long friendships. In keeping with his passion for preservation, he served on Alexandria's Board of Architectural Review in the 1980s and as Chairman for three terms.

Bernard was also a loving grandfather to his namesake John Bernard Murphy III (Jack) and William Trabue Murphy. Bernard and Marsha shared a wonderful relationship with their grandchildren, never missing Grandparents' Day or birthday parties, and they were always ready to take them to Toys R Us and then to McDonald's for a milkshake. In his final years, Bernard lived at Goodwin House Alexandria, where he enjoyed a circle of close friends and constant dinner companions. The Goodwin House community brought him joy and fulfillment. Bernard is survived by his wife Marsha H. Murphy, son Christopher C. Murphy (Katherine), and grandsons Jack and William. The family would like to thank the nurses and caregivers of Goodwin House Alexandria and Hospice for their care of him in recent months.

A service celebrating Bernard's life will be held on September 4, 2026, at 11:00 am at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Alexandria, Virginia.

ALICE FALES STEWART (Age 83)

ROLANDI

Born on August 11, 1952, to Doris Hamilton Gil, Molly spent her life deeply connected to the D.C. area. She graduated from the National Cathedral School in 1970, briefly attended Hollins College, and earned her degree from Georgetown University in 1974.

STEVEN J. SILVERBERG (Age 70)

Alice Fales Stewart, born in Washington, DC on September 2nd, 1942, passed away peacefully in her sleep at home on August 8th, 2026. She had a brilliant spirit, and faithfully embodied kindness, compassion, positivity, resilience, and a cheerful work ethic. Her sweetness and genuine consideration touched all who were lucky to cross paths with her.

39 years. Born March 22, 1956, in Rochester, NY, he was the son of the late Jack and Ida Silverberg. He graduated from SUNY Geneseo

Alice and her elder sister, Willia Fales Eckerberg, were the daughters of Rose Hyde Fales of Louisiana and Herbert Peck Fales of Michigan. Herbert's work in the Foreign Service took the family to Germany during their daughters' elementary school years. Alice spoke German Pig Latin with Willia, which was indecipherable to their parents; tried not to sneeze when she snuck a pinch of her. He said that he had been pinned in loops, known as Schaukelzöpfe. When Herbert was subsequently stationed in the Philippines, Alice lived with her maternal grandparents and attended The Potomac School until 1957. She then boarded at The Madeira School, graduating in 1960, and matriculated at Sweet Briar College, class of 1964. She went on to earn two Master of the State, the first in Far East Area Studies from American University and the second in American History from The University of Chicago.

DEATH NOTICE

Soon after taking her first job, with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, she was courted by environmental attorney Richard Stewart of Ohio. They remained married for 24 years, living in Washington, DC; Cambridge, MA, where their sons William Herbert Stewart and Paul Burleson Stewart were born; Berkeley, CA, where their daughter Elizabeth Foster Stewart was born; and Chicago, IL.

Alice taught American History, Chinese History, and Geography to middle, and high-school pupils at The Windsor School and Brimmer & May, both in the Boston area, and ended her full-time teaching career at her alma mater, The Potomac School in McLean, VA. She loved being an educator and even in retirement continued to teach elementary-school students at the National Building Museum, and, after becoming certified in her seventies, tutored foreign students in English. As a volunteer, she volunteered on an archeological dig of Andrew emplified by her extensive leadership at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, where she served on the Board of Trustees and held numerous leadership roles on the Corcoran Women's Committee after joining in 2005. Together, Molly and Rick were steadfast champions of D.C.'s artistic institutions and emerging local talent, supporting Hillwood, the National Gallery of Art, Choral Arts, and The Phillips Collection. She was also a valued member of The Sulgrave Club since 2011.

Beyond her civic contributions, Molly was defined by her long-standing friendships, her natural charisma, and a unique ability to bring people together. A true sun-lover, nothing brought her more peace than a warm summer afternoon - soaking up the sun, drifting off to sleep with a good book while her family was nearby. Her home and heart were always anchored by her fierce love for her four-legged companions, and she cherished each one dearly over the years: Whiskers, Bogart, Archie, and her faithful Freddie Mac.

She is survived by her husband, Rick; her daughter, Lee; compassionate caregiver, Amsale Seyoum; and her devoted chosen family, Alma (Kathleen) Niyet.

A memorial service will be held at 11 am on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, in the sanctuary of All Saints Church, 3 Chevy Chase Circle, Chevy Chase, Maryland, 20815. A reception and lunch will immediately follow at the Chevy Chase Club.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Molly's memory to the Montgomery County Humane Society.

KARIN EMELIA TALLIS (Age 98)

STEWART

JOSEPH GAWLER'S SONS, LLC FENERAL DIRECTORS FOUNDED 1491

Always civic-minded, Alice experienced a political awakening after joining Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in August of 1963. She became an environmentalist, an enthusiastic recycler, and a gleeful composer. A lifelong Democrat, she traveled to Los Angeles and Atlantic City for the 1960 and 1964 DNC conventions. She volunteered for causes from Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 presidential campaign to the 2020 Census, and never stopped penning heartfelt letters to politicians, canvassing for chosen candidates, and working the polls during elections. After returning to the District, she co-found at the Neighbors through Art, a cooperative between residents of the Palisades in Ward 3 and Hillcrest in Ward 7. Her patriotic activism never flagged and she left her bedroom walls adorned with homemade cardboard signs enjoining fellow citizens to "Restore Kindness and 'Civility' and other positive messages.

SILVERBERG

Peggy was smart, beautiful and talented. She embraced being a Navy wife and gave it her all. She moved around the country/world with 5 kids in tow and did it with grace and style. Her talents were legion:

Jackson's Hermitage, and in later years organized her own ancestors' memorabilia and documents. She authored a book on local history, The Palisades of Washington, DC, published in 2005 by Arcadia Publishers, and took pride in showing visitors her hometown as a tour guide specializing in historical sites.

and American University's Washington College of Law.

Alice adored physical activity and exercise, with a passion for modern dance that led her to study with two German dancers: Mary Wigman in Berlin, and Erika Thimey in DC. She completed seven marathons, starting at the age of 57, including three in New York City, the Avenue of the Giants with her son William, the Marine Corps Marathon, and the Country Music Marathon in Nashville. She was a reliable and enthusiastic member of the same Washington square-dance group to which her parents had once belonged.

After law, school, Mr. Silverberg worked for Legal Aid in Baltimore and then joined the National Treasury Employees Union, where he represented federal employees located throughout the county. Mr. Silverberg later opened his own private practice in the District of Columbia, specializing in employment law. Mr. Silverberg's career was marked by his dislike of bullies and his dedication and enthusiasm for representing the less-powerful, chiefly clients who were seeking justice in the workplace. He had the importance of a big as all outdoors and is a wonderful sense of humor. Mr. Silverberg was considered by one and all, his friends, colleagues, and opposing counsel alike, to be a true mensch.

In addition to his wife, Mr. Silverberg is survived by his son Jeffrey Benjamin Silverberg, Jeffrey's wife Morgan of Columbia, and his grandson Levi Silverberg. He was thrilled to be a grandfather and enjoyed spending time with his grandson. Mr. Silverberg is also survived by his in-laws, Dr. Steven and Amelia Kasinof of Greencastle, MD; his niece Laura Kasinof (Austin Cowley) of Silver Spring; and a host of loving and devoted friends.

A graveside service was held on August 18 at B'Nai Abraham Cemetery, Hagerstown, with Rabbi Mark J. Perman officiating.

After taking up violin lessons at the age of 35, Alice became a passionate amateur musician. She regularly played quartets with friends, naming one of her groups "Callando con Brio": fading out slowly, but with spirit. She later added the viola to her repertoire, and spent her last evening on earth taking a piano lesson.

Alice found delight in nature and loved tending to the many plants on her balcony overlooking the Soapstone Valley. She shared her home with her late partner, Bill Willcox, with whom she enjoyed a pure and abundant love. They will be laid to rest together in Rock Creek Cemetery, beside her parents and maternal grandparents.

Alice's generosity of heart poured into her three surviving children and two cherished granddaughters, Paloma Rose Anievas of NYC and Seraphine Winter Stewart of Washington, DC. She was an exceedingly humble and tender being, and those who knew her were inspired by her gentle qualities.

A memorial service will be held on October 4, 2026, at the National Building Museum Auditorium. Alice requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Sweet Briar College, Levine Music, Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music, Young Concert Artists, the National Building Museum, or The Posse Foundation.

At different times between 1983 and 1988, Bill taught as an Adjunct Professor at Trinity College, The George Washington University and George Mason University.

At a “singles” dance at the Washington Hotel in the 60’s, Bill met his future wife, Bea. His kindness, integrity and beautiful singing voice, not to mention his Irish good looks, won Bea over and they married in 1968. They were blessed with two children, a daughter and a son.

Karin Emelia Tallis, née Ekström, of Springfield, Virginia, died on August 12, 2026. She was born in Stockholm on June 12, 1928, and grew up in the suburb of Djursholm, where her father was the City Engineer and her mother raised her and her brothers. Karin led a full and vibrant life that included serving in the Swedish Navy; acting as an Administrative Assistant at the American Embassy in Stockholm; translating Swedish, German, and French for the CIA; holding a seat on the initial Board of Directors of the Western European Parliament; Washington D.C.; and managing a team at the National Technical Information Service.

PATTERSON

In 2018 Bill was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. To no one's surprise, he rose above the disease, living his final years with courage, kindness, dignity - and song - "Danny Boy" being his longtime favorite and a song he would sing to anyone willing to listen. Bill was a wonderful husband, father, adoring "Pa" to his grandchildren, brother and friend, respected by all and loved by so many. He will be deeply missed.

A tribute to Karin will be held on Monday, November 23rd at 1:00 PM at St. Mark's Lutheran Church, 5800 Backlick Road, Springfield, VA 22150

Her upbringing was quite different from the way most Americans grow up, but typical of someone who was raised in northern Europe in the early 20th century. During World War II she spent summers on a working farm in southern Sweden. One of her prized possessions was a piece of artwork smuggled out by a young Finnish refugee girl who stayed with her family during the war. Karin lived in London for a summer to improve her English, and in France another summer to improve her French. As a teenager, she camped with friends on beaches in Norway, once staying in a structure left behind by the Germans ("because, why not?"). She spent a week every winter cross-country skiing

A Memorial Mass will be held on Friday, September 18, 2026, at 4:00 pm at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Alexandria, VA, with a reception immediately following at Goodwin House, Alexandria, VA.

only a backpack full of oranges. While working at the Embassy, Karin caught the eye of a young American who had moved to Sweden to study on the GI Bill. She and Dave married in Copenhagen in 1955, and stayed married until his death was still being told that she had been moving in the hometown of Jackson, Michigan in 1957 with their year-old daughter and another daughter on the way. They soon moved to Battle Creek, where they added two sons to the family. All six hopped in the station wagon and moved to Northern Virginia in 1966. Karin traveled back to her home country as often as she could, and maintained relationships with many friends and family. She was particularly close to her sister-in-law, Alma, who was secretary to the American Ambassador to Sweden. After Karin emigrated, they had weekly hour-long. The American Association is now stated that they termed "Swenglish." We like to think they're sitting together now, chatting over a cup of coffee and a slice of solskenskaka.

For all her travels and experiences, Karin's greatest fascination was watching her four children grow up. She embraced the role of mother so completely, so naturally, so joyfully. She found a way to continue this experience, retiring early to become primary caregiver for her three eldest grandchildren. She was "Mormor" to them—Swedish for maternal grandmother, and "Farmor"—paternal grandmother—to five more grandchildren. Karin passed many of her native country's traditions on to the next two generations, including the Santa Lucia celebration of early morning hot cocoa, saffron bread, and pepparkakor, accompanied by a badly-sung rendition of the traditional song. In keeping with another beloved tradition, we all raise a glass of akavit in her honor.

TITUS

CONSTANCE LOWRY TITUS "Connie" Constance Lowry Titus, known to family and friends as "Connie", passed away peacefully at home on August 25, 2026, at age 88, surrounded by her three daughters.

Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Connie graduated from Anacostia High School in 1956 and began working for the federal government that same year. Her remarkable professional life in public service would span nearly six decades and an extraordinary period of change for women in the American workplace.

Like other women entering government service at the time, Connie was required to take a typing test. She failed it and was instead assigned to logistics. What might have seemed a setback launched a distinguished career that would take Connie around the world during the Cold War, including Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and East Asia.

Connie built her career at a time when opportunities for professional women were limited. Through her extraordinary work ethic, leadership, and ability to build partnerships, she earned the respect of her colleagues and mentored women of all ages. She showed her daughters and the women who followed her that a woman could be a dedicated professional, a loving mother, a provider, and an effective leader.

A woman of deep faith and a lifelong learner, Connie grew up attending Sunday school and singing in the church choir. She continued reading her Bible daily throughout her later years. She loved gardening, music, travel, beautiful things, and gathering with her family.

Connie is survived by her daughters, Stacie Titus, Courtney Titus, and Jennifer Link (née Titus); son-in-law, Michael Link; and grand-daughters, Kathryn Link and Avery Link.

Maryland joins other states in challenging new federal Title X funding rules

TODD KARPOVICH Baltimore Sun

BALTIMORE — Maryland is joining a multistate lawsuit seeking to block new federal requirements for Title X funding that could threaten money for family planning clinics and limit access to reproductive health care, cancer screenings and affordable contraception.

Attorney General Anthony G. Brown and his Massachusetts counterpart co-led the lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, alongside attorneys general from 21 other states.

The new requirements, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in July, would tie Title X funding to compliance with a range of administration priorities, according to the lawsuit. The states contend the conditions could force health care providers to alter how they counsel patients and provide services or risk losing federal funding.

Title X is the only federal grant program dedicated specifically to family planning and related preventive health services. The program has operated for more than 50 years and supports contraception, cancer screenings, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment, pregnancy testing and counseling and other preventive care.

Officials with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services referred all questions to the White House, which could not immediately be reached for comment.

The states argue that the new conditions conflict with federal law and improperly impose political requirements on health care providers receiving Title X money.

They are asking the court to prevent the federal government from enforcing the requirements and preserve funding under the program's existing rules.

The July funding notice includes requirements aimed at eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion practices and excludes or stigmatizes transgender people, according to the coalition. It also discourages contraception in favor of natural family planning and requires clinics to counsel patients toward marriage and parenthood rather than provide neutral, patient-centered guidance, the states said.

The notice also includes unrelated priorities such as “ending crime and disorder on America’s streets.”

The coalition argues that the conditions could have broad consequences for patients and providers, particularly those serving low-income communities.

The lawsuit contends that Title X rules require providers to offer a broad range of contraceptive methods, provide nondirective counseling and serve patients, including LGBTQ+ people, in an inclusive and nondiscriminatory manner.

The states also argue that HHS failed to follow the notice-and-comment process required under the Administrative Procedure Act.

The coalition further contends that the requirements are too vague for providers to determine what compliance would require, violating constitutional limits on conditions the federal government can place on federal funding.

A similar Title X policy caused nearly one-quarter of the program's grantees nationwide to withdraw, according to the lawsuit.

The number of patients served nationally fell by more than 60 percent over two years, while six states, including New York, lost more than half of their Title X clinics.

New York Attorney General Letitia James led a 2019 lawsuit challenging those restrictions. The Biden administration later rescinded them before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the case.

Why translation is a hot debate in world's biggest video games

BY GENE PARK

Michael-Christopher Koji Fox remembers spending roughly a week worrying over two words: Final Fantasy.

Certainly, he's been worrying about Final Fantasy for 23 years. He has been an English translator for the celebrated games since the 11th title and now supervises the team that "localizes" them for English speakers. But this was different. He had to decide how to translate a potentially cringey title drop that came right at a pivotal moment of "Final Fantasy XVI." In Japanese, the hero utters the name of the series to a villain in a parting one liner.

“I get the cheese,” Fox said, laughing, in an interview with The Washington Post. “I couldn’t imagine a world in which any person would say that with a straight face.”

But Fox wanted to preserve the wink. So he and his team cycled through alternatives for a week, the longest he can recall working on a single phrase. They landed on a sentence that nods to the audience without quite breaking the fourth wall.

“We're not doing academic translation, we're doing entertainment translation,” said Fox, who has lived in Japan for 30 years. “You can get the words across, but if you're not getting the message across, then that's not a good localization."

The question of what is a “good” translation matters to people more than ever. For the last few years according to Netflix, non-English titles make up more than a third of the network’s viewings. The streaming giant cited its most popular titles as being from South Korea, Japan, Spain, India and South Africa.

Japanese animation, once a relative niche interest outside its home nation, has become a global phenomenon. The Association of Japanese Animations estimated the broader anime market as hitting 3.8 trillion yen in 2024, with the overseas market surpassing Japan's domestic audience.

For decades, anime fans in particular have debated “subs versus dubs,” often treating subtitled Japanese dialogue as more authentic than the English-language performances. Social media allows multilingual fans to compare scripts by line, while online communities routinely explode over whether localizers are changing meaning, inserting contemporary slang or politics, or otherwise straying from the original work’s intent.

Fox doesn't mind the scrutiny. He moved to Japan when he was 20, his SEE TRANSLATION ON E10

Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and the iPhone were the most cited omissions on our list

BY CARLA SPARTOS

The Washington Post's list of the 25 most influential works of American culture was never going to be a complete survey given the many constraints we gave ourselves at the start of the project: Only one work would be chosen for every 10 years since the nation's founding, with an additional shortlist of no more

than five works per decade. ¶ Readers wanted to know: Where were American monuments like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial? How about architecture and the design innovations of Frank Lloyd Wright? Where were great orators such as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., not to mention the scientific and technological breakthroughs that have enabled life in America as we know it? ¶ The competition became especially tight in the 20th century — whether due to recency bias, social upheaval or the influx of mass media. It was certainly the century that caused the most reader debate. ¶ The list's most recent decades were also controversial and particularly tough to divine: Did the iPod ultimately lay the groundwork for the iPhone? Should AI-generated art be included? And was it too soon to tell what was influential, with the sands shifting under our feet? ¶ We received hundreds of nominations after soliciting feedback from the public. We read every one and were delighted to see how passionate and thoughtful our readers were about the project. Below are some of the most frequently cited works omitted from our Top 25 list, as well as excerpts from some of our favorite responses. SEE CULTURE LIST ON E6

Readers favor fiction as political works falter in midterm season

BY HILLEL ITALIE Associated Press

Midterm election news will fill the headlines this fall, but, among book buyers, fiction will likely have top billing. Former President Joe Biden's

“Promise Me, America” stands out not just as a White House memoir — presidential memoirs are events unto themselves — but as a rare high-profile political book over the next few months. Nonfiction sales have slumped in recent years and political books haven’t approached the peaks of President Donald Trump’s first term.

"The energy in political books seems to be subdued. I think folks are just ranted out," says Kristen McLean, an analyst and vice president for client insights at Circana, which tracks retail book sales.

“I think the (news) cycle is moving a bit too quickly for a lot of the very specific political books to catch on,” says Shannon DeVito, Barnes & Noble’s senior director of books.

Michael Lewis's “Blockers,” a probe into Trump's second term through the eyes of government workers, may be the only new release to rival the impact of Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's summer bestseller, “Regime Change.” This fall's notable political offerings otherwise revisit the Biden years, from “Promise Me, America,” to former Middle East envoy Brett McGurk's “Brink: Inside the Race to Free the Oct. 7 Hostages” to Akbar Shahid Ahmed's study of Biden's Gaza war policies, “Crossing the Red Line.”

Even Bob Woodward, who for decades released timely exposés of sitting presidents, is passing on current politics. In “Secrets: A Reporter’s Memoir,” he reflects on presidents and White House sources dating back to the Nixon administration and the Watergate scandal that made him famous.

“Because he’s going more into his own life, I expect he’ll have a different and broader audience than for his other books,” DeVito says.

A feast of fiction

Making history

Novelists Barbara Kingsolver and Hernan Diaz, co-winners three years ago of the Pulitzer Prize, will share honors again as two of the featured authors in a busy season. Kingsolver's "Partita," about a onetime musical prodigy drawn again to her past, is the first since "Demon Copperhead," her Pulitzer-winning retelling of Charles Dickens's "David Copperfield." Meanwhile, Diaz has followed his Pulitzer-winning "Trust" with the dystopian, Dickensian "Ply," about a young thief in a chaotic future society.

Diaz says he met Kingsolver at the Pulitzer ceremony, where the two drank bourbon and bonded over literature and other common interests.

Another writer enriched by a Nolan movie — Kai Bird, co-author of “American Prometheus,” the biography adapted into “Oppenheimer” — has co-written “American Scoundrel,” the story of lawyer/political fixer/Trump mentor Roy Cohn. In “The Rush,” award winner Nathaniel Philbrick revisits the 19th century quest for gold. The acclaimed science writer James Gleick examines the evolution of communication in “The Telephone: A New History.”

“I don’t think literature is a race or a tennis tournament,” Diaz says. “I think the more good books that are out there, the richer the conversation becomes and the more readers are engaged.”

Fiction sales have been solid in 2026 and will likely remain high if only because the two most prominent romantasy authors, Rebecca Yarros and Sarah J. Maas, have new books coming. Maas is releasing "A Court of Splintered Harmony," the sixth volume of "A Court of Thorns and Roses," with the seventh installment scheduled for early next year. Yarros's "Threshing Day" compiles 13 stories featuring characters from her Empyrean series, and her stand-alone "Peculiar Stars" finds protagonist Callista Moran stranded on an island after a sailing accident

Two books, Timothy W. Ryback's "53 Days" and Victor Sebestyen's "Weimar Germany," examine the fall of democracy in 1930s Germany, while other releases warning of contemporary threats include Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor's "End Times Fascism" and Pulitzer winner Jill Lepore's "The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State."

Public radio host Celeste Headlee's “Freedom’s Daughters” is one of many works this fall that center on race and racism. Grandmaster Flash has collaborated with Robert “Scoop”

and discovering unexpected sides to herself.

The new fiction list also features Nobel laureate Jon Fosse's latest, "Vaim Hotel," and three contenders for the Booker Prize — Marlon James' "The Disappearers," Emma Cline's "Switzy" and Rebecca Perry's "May We Feed the King." The book most primed for gossip is Rachel Cusk's "Life of M," a meta-novel about a movie star who may or may not be based on Natalie Portman. The season's longest-awaited novel is likely Chad Harbach's "The Brightness": The parallel and intertwining lives of two close friends in their 20s is his first novel since his acclaimed 2011 debut, "The Art of Fielding."

Min Jin Lee's "American Hagwon" is her first novel since 2017 and her celebrated "Pachinko." Emily St. John Mandel's "Exit Party" is a story of futuristic breakdown from the author of the futuristic classic "Station Eleven." Yiyun Li, Edwidge Danticat, Kate Atkinson, Deesha Philyaw, Diane Williams, Laleh Khadivi, R.F. Kuang and Norah Labiner also have fiction coming out.

Fans of Stephen King (and the late Peter Straub) can look forward to “Other Worlds Than These,” the final “Talisman” novel. Alice Hoffman launches a new series with “The Witches of Cambridge” and Brandon Sanderson has begun “Blightfall,” written with Janci Patterson. “The French Illusion” is John Grisham’s latest thriller. S.A. Cosby’s “Truth to Power” is a Marvel Crime novel featuring superhero/sleuth Luke Cage.

Celebrities share their stories

A trio of Oscar-winning superstars will tell their stories this fall: Sylvester Stallone's "The Steps," its title a reference to the actor's iconic upward run in "Rocky"; Michael Douglas' "One Helluva Ride," which the actor and producer has called a corrective to the blurry legends of fame; and Dustin Hoffman's "Look at Me," promoted by publisher Simon Six as "an intimate memoir about art, ambition, family, friendship, love, aging, and the mysteries of a creative life."

Gloria Steinem looks back on her early years in “An Unexpected Life” and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick reflects on his activism in “The Perilous Fight.” Chuck Lorre’s “Sitcom” is a memoir from the creator behind “Two and a Half Men” and “The Big Bang Theory.” Eric Dane’s “My Book of Days” comes out just months after the “Grey’s Anatomy” star died from ALS.

Poetry for all times

Ancient poetry seems new again thanks to Christopher Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey," which has placed editions by Emily Wilson and the late Robert Eagles high on bestseller lists. Wilson has a new book out this fall, "Crossing the Wine-Dark Sea," essays that cover everything from Greek tragedy to "slut-shaming" Helen of Troy to the "sly laughter" of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP."

In “Cloud Runner,” former U.S. poet laureate Joy Harjo tries to express what she acknowledges may be inexpressible, the death three years ago of her daughter, Rainy Ortiz: “I have lost my girl./Some things do not belong in words,” Harjo writes. Jennifer Franklin channels the mind of James Joyce’s gifted, ill-fated daughter Lucia in the collection “A Fire in Her Brain.”

New work is also expected from Layli Long Soldier, Tina Chang, Patricia Lockwood, Dalia Taha, Avis Blackbird and Hieu Minh Nguyen. The anthology “Other Legacies” features tributes from Rae Armantrout, Edward Hirsch and other prizewinners to such lesser-known poets as Rachel Loden, Julia de Burgos and Stephen Jonas.

Jackson on a history of rap and hip-hop, “Birth of a Culture,” and Stephanie Phillips’s music history “We Were Here” highlights artists from Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Living Colour.

Pulitzer winner Alan Taylor's “Tower Hill” offers a fresh look at the 1831 rebellion led by the enslaved Nat Turner. In “Renaissance Men,” Harriet A. Washington honors three groundbreaking and overlooked Black physicians in a narrative spanning the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, and resonating today.

As friends become complainers, 30-something sees them ‘out of duty’

ILLUSTRATION BY NICK GALIFIANAKIS/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Carolyn Hax

Dear Carolyn: I'm a woman in her early 30s and am feeling increasingly disconnected from my female friends, and no, it's not just because some have children.

I've noticed even more now our social time is

dedicated to comparing lives, complaining about jobs, the system, child care, bodies, food and other barriers women face. I am a feminist and completely understand these systemic injustices. I also have increasingly little emotional capacity to take them on with my friends; I leave hangouts feeling lower than when I started. I need to focus my energy: I run my own business, and it's enough to make things work as an independent in a notoriously challenging industry.

I also simply can't relate to quite a lot of what other woman face at my life stage. I've worked through my body image problems and eat and exercise for growth rather than destruction, I don't have financial trouble — and although work is hard and I'm not where I want to be professionally, I fundamentally believe in myself.

I feel like a bit of [a glass bowl] to say it, but I feel I'm hanging out with my friends more out of duty now, with my mother on my shoulder saying, "Make sure you have friends."

I'm not ashamed to admit that I also miss having FUN with friends and laughing rather than sitting around at brunch comparing notes. I miss doing dumb, silly, fun stuff that's vanishingly rare as an adult.

The tragedy of this really hit me at a BBQ with my boyfriend's extended family a few weekends ago. I spent the whole day sitting, trapped, listening to boring middle-aged people talk about their boring lives. I really don't want this to become my leisure time as an adult.

Yes, I have outlets — I've started performing again and there's a group of us getting paid for shows, which is awesome.

Advice and perspective are welcome here on how to navigate the next few years.

I really want to start significantly reducing the amount of time I spend with people, but I'm also aware a No. 1 regret at death is not staying in touch with friends.

— Frustrated Girlfriend

Frustrated Girlfriend: Dwelling on grievances isn't my idea of a good time, either, nor do I think it's what your mother had in mind. (Even though, who am I kidding, I'd have fit right in at that BBQ.)

Still, even with all the detail you gave us, I don't see why the only answer is to quit people. Why not be more interesting yourself?

Suggest other types of plans. Subtly redirect conversations. Unsubtly redirect conversations. "Aghhh I am fun-starved. Anyone else?" Show some initiative.

You've started down this path already with your return to performing, so take the "awesome" as a sign: More of this.

Getting creative draws way more time and energy than brunch-at-11, so, understandably, the idea may sound like more work than the problem deserves — or than you want to give it. Plus, changing group dynamics can be like turning an oil tanker.

But this is the kind of work happy longevity deserves. Not the work of dutiful stultification.

Start with a friend or three, an activity or two, some strategic one-on-one conversations about the need you've felt lately to give some important, relevant but soul-suckingly negative topics a rest already. Claim victory if even one friend gets inspired.

Try it for a few months, at least. If the return on your fun-vestment isn't worth it to you, then the option to quit people — or look for new ones you like better — will be right where you left it. (Probably complaining to the other options about how the bad ones get all the attention.)

Mandatory mental health days leave one employee stressed out

Asking Eric R. ERIC THOMAS

Dear Eric: Once a year, the company I work for encourages a day off from work spent with co-workers labeled a “mental health day.”

To me this would be okay if we didn't spend so much time

together at work. I work 40 hours a week with these people. I spend eight hours a day with them whereas I only spend about six hours with my family.

We all have families, children and other responsibilities. I like my co-workers and we get along well together, but I think it's a little much to take one day that we could spend with each of our families, cleaning our houses and just enjoying time away from work getting a mental break rather than basically talking about work.

Doing this stresses me out even more. I like my co-workers and I like spending time with them outside of work. We get together a couple of days during the summer and on weekends to eat lunch together.

But I don't like the idea of this being forced. What do you think?

— Stressed About Mental Health Day

Stressed: While your company's intentions may be good (or neutral), this doesn't really strike me as a mental health day so much as compulsory bonding. The goal may be a workforce that functions better. But without a specific focus on mental health — i.e., seminars on meditation or feedback sessions about workplace stress — the intention is going to be muddled at best, completely lost at worst.

For your own mental well-being, it may be helpful to think of these days in another way. Presuming that they're days that you would normally be working and not weekends or other holidays, try not to think of them as taking time away from your family or personal life. This will just lead to resentment. If there is a person that heads this effort, you might talk to them about what their intentions are and see if they're open to feedback.

Now, if these days are actually part of your personal time, that's a different story. In that case, you might ask if this is considered a requirement for your job and, if so, what accommodations the company can offer to make up for the additional hours being asked of you. Depending on the structure of your employment and your contract, this may or may not go very far, but it's worth having a conversation about.

Dear Eric: I am a 59-year-old woman who has no children. I have never married and I do not have any siblings. I have a few ailments that require doctors' appointments. I lost my parents years ago.

My question to you is this: Who will be there for me when I am no longer able to care for myself?

I don't have any good friends. The friends I had in my 20s were not as wonderful as I thought they were. We all went our separate ways. I found out that I was one of the two that were left out of the circle. My mother had gotten into some trouble when I was 35. Those friends of mine dropped me like a hot potato.

I know that they are all still sharing their lives due to social media.

I was too busy having fun and now it isn't fun anymore. I am afraid that I will wind up in a nursing home. That scares me and depresses me. Do you have any suggestions? — Don't Want to Be Alone

Alone: While I acknowledge and understand the situation in which you find yourself is scary, I encourage you to think about the path before you as a partial new beginning. Your life is not what it once was, but your life is not over.

What you're lacking at the moment is meaningful connection with others. You may not find it in the same ways or with the same structure as you did when you were younger, but it is possible. Social groups, religious organizations, community centers, and support groups can all provide you with connection and support. Remember that deep friendships take time and energy, so don't be discouraged if you don't find the connections you're seeking right away.

Depending on your medical needs, you might also talk with your doctor, a social worker, a financial planner, or a senior life manager about how to set yourself up for the future. For instance, it may be of interest to you to move to a senior community in the next decade, which can provide social support, medical care when needed, and community. If a senior living community isn't within your means, talking about your goals and concerns with others may point you to options that meet your needs and will help you feel more secure about the future.

Alabama Shakes are rock's generational bridge

Still thrumming with purpose, the reunited group gets funkier and more anxious on new LP

BY MIKAEL WOOD Los Angeles Times

The first time Alabama Shakes came to Los Angeles, Brittany Howard bought a longboard. This was in the early 2010s, as the fiery soul-rock band was beginning its ascent from

a small town in the Deep South to high-profile gigs at the Grammy Awards and the White House; even back then, the group was generating so much energy onstage that Howard found it useful to have an outlet after shows to "kind of come down," as the singer and guitarist puts it now.

Does she still skate?

“No,” she says with a laugh. “Little bit older — don’t want to fall and break stuff.”

The bones are feeling brittle?

"The bones are feeling strong," she replies. "I just don't want to test them."

A decade and a half after that initial visit, Howard and her fellow Shakes — guitarist Heath Fogg and bassist Zac Cockrell — are back in L.A. on a recent afternoon, gathered in a West Hollywood hotel suite to discuss their new album, “I Must Be Dreaming,” out now. It’s the band’s first LP since the three reconvened in 2024 after a seven-year break, during which Howard launched an acclaimed solo career that encompassed collaborations with Bon Iver and the Oscar-winning film composer Ludwig Göransson. Nothing too dramatic broke up the Shakes in 2018, nor has their return been accompanied by much hoopla (beyond their decision not to invite back drummer Steve Johnson, which we’ll get to in a minute).

“I don’t know about ‘comeback,’” Howard says when asked what term best describes the band’s reunion. “What y’all think?” she asks Fogg and Cockrell, both of whom respond with quiet shrugs.

Yet “I Must Be Dreaming” reveals a group still thrumming with creative purpose. The music, which takes up love and nature and a society in peril, expands the Shakes’ rootsy sound in funky and unexpected directions; instead of a throwback from a band whose last album came out at the tail end of the Obama era, the record feels like a product of our darker, more anxious age. It also frames the Shakes, all in their late 30s or early 40s, as a kind of generational bridge between influential Gen X groups like Radiohead and Wilco and adventurous Gen Z up-and-comers such as Geese and Wednesday.

"I thought we wanted the same things," Howard sings over Cockrell's creeping bass line in the murky "American Dream," which goes on to enumerate some of those would-be ideals — peace, happiness, opportunity, freedom — before Howard checks herself: "I must be dreaming." In "Another Life," Fogg's guitar trembles and clangs as Howard muses on the cosmic ramifications of a broken relationship; "Tea Time" finds the singer known for her belting vocals exploring her more delicate falsetto against a sposoky, lopsided beat that evokes the music of the late J Dilla.

Susan Tedeschi, another powerful belter whose Tedeschi Trucks Band co-headlined a handful of dates this month with Alabama Shakes, says Howard has “definitely created her own style,” which she reckons has resonated beyond rock to open pathways for young soul singers like Olivia Dean.

“She’s not afraid to talk about what it’s like growing up biracial or what it’s like growing up as a gay woman,” Tedeschi adds. “It takes courage to do these things, especially nowadays.”

Howard, who grew up fishing and writing poetry in rural Athens, Alabama, formed Alabama Shakes with Cockrell, a former high school classmate, in 2009; at the time, the singer had to schedule band practices around her job as a mail carrier. The group's 2012 debut, "Boys & Girls," drew comparisons to Tina Turner and Janis Joplin and earned the Shakes a Grammy nomination for best new artist; Jack White took them on tour as an opening act while President Barack Obama invited the band to take part in an all-star tribute to Memphis soul music.

"Sound & Color," which came out in 2015, was somewhat artier but met with even greater success, topping Billboard's album chart and winning three Grammys. At that year's Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, no less an admirer than Paul McCartney brought Howard onstage to help him sing the Beatles' "Get Back." After a few more years of touring, though, the band split primarily so Howard could pursue her solo work.

Yet by late 2024 — not long after she'd dropped an LP, "What Now," inspired in part by a divorce — the singer had started thinking about the Shakes again. So when a friend in Tuscaloosa asked her to play a benefit concert that December, she used the opportunity to reach out to Fogg and Cockrell.

"I was just like, 'Do y'all want to go down there and play some songs?" Howard remembers. "And they were like, 'Hell yeah.'"

Says the soft-spoken Cockrell of the gig: "It was pretty rocking."

During the band's hiatus, the members had scattered slightly, with Fogg in north Alabama, Cockrell in Nashville, and Howard just outside the country music capital. Neither Tennessee resident cops to having much interest in Nashville's glitzy Lower Broadway district, where tourists stumble from one bar owned by a name-brand country star to another.

Whose joint would they hit if forced?

"The emptiest one," Howard answers. "Whoever's having the poorest business, I'd go to that one."

Pleased by the response to the show in

Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes performs in Lucca, Italy, on July 7. The Shakes' new album, "I Must Be Dreaming," takes their rootsy sound in unexpected directions and frames them as a connecting point between influential Gen X groups like Radiohead and Wilco and adventurous Gen Z up-and-comers like Geese and Wednesday.

ISLAND RECORDS

Tuscaloosa, the Shakes booked a lengthy tour with stops at the Hollywood Bowl and New York's Forest Hills Stadium. Justin Eshak, the Island Records co-chief who signed the Shakes after putting out "What Now," says going into business with the reactivated band was a no-brainer.

"A lot of the stuff that came out around the same time the Shakes broke feels very of that time to me," Eshak says. "Whereas Brittany and this band sort of exist in their own universe."

Yet the reunion proceeded without Johnson, the band's founding drummer, who'd pleaded guilty in 2020 to violating a domestic violence protection order and who was arrested in 2021 on charges of child abuse. The charges were later dismissed — Johnson's lawyer said they stemmed from a “spanking incident” — but the Shakes asked for the drummer's resignation around the time of his arrest, according to a series of videos Johnson posted last year on Facebook (as reported by AL.com).

Howard says that while the band was inactive, “We decided we weren’t going to move forward with Steve. So with us coming back together, that wasn’t really part of the equation.”

Asked whether Johnson's legal issues made them think differently about the band's history, the three band members go silent for a moment.

"With Steve, there's a lot of things that have been public about his life," Fogg says. "Some are true, some aren't true — he's been proven innocent in court for some things. That's not publicized. I think we're bonded with Steve in a way because of things we've done in the past, and I think we all care about Steve and want him to be happy and healthy."

With a new drummer in Noah Bond, Alabama Shakes recorded “I Must Be Dreaming” in Nashville with producer Shawn Everett, who collaborated with Howard on her solo records and who’s worked in the studio with Adele and Miley Cyrus, among many others.

Howard says that figuring out what she wanted to talk about in her new songs took some time.

"It was kind of like I had to access what was percolating because part of me was looking at the world and feeling a little shut down, as anyone would be," she says. "Having to open back up and access my feelings was quite the experience."

Her lyrics for “American Dream” were inspired by a track Cockrell sent her that felt “sludgy and hard to wade through,” as she puts it, which brought to mind her concerns about the environment at a moment when President Donald Trump is cutting regulations regarding climate and energy. (The song name-checks both the Environmental Protection Agency and a “pretty and pimped-out” White House.)

"There's supposed to be this social agreement between us and our government, and I feel like they've broken the social agreement,"

Howard says. “Then we’re supposed to keep pretending we’re in la-la land and everything’s going to be great. And I just don’t think that’s realistic.”

Those misgivings come through in the frayed edges of the band's handmade sound on “I Must Be Dreaming” — a welcome approach when AI is quickly making its way into music along with every other creative field.

Fogg admits he's “very negative” on the new technology, which he sees being used by musicians who try to reverse-engineer songs created by platforms like Suno and Udio. “My whole thing is: When you use generative AI to come up with ideas, people forget what ideas were theirs and what ideas were the computer’s,” he says. “It’s a very slippery slope.”

"I got a new iPhone the other day," Howard pipes up, "and it has this feature on it where it will read my text and then text somebody back for you. The f--- is that? Do people use this?" She shakes her head.

“Obviously, I don’t want a bajillion data centers poisoning the earth,” she says. “But it’s also like: What even is art if it’s something that could just be generated?”

With the new LP on the way, the band will lean further into those human qualities on the road, including a performance in late September at Eddie Vedder's annual Ohana festival in Dana Point. Yet beyond the dates they have scheduled or in the works, they're not quite sure what the future holds for a back-in-action Alabama Shakes.

“We haven’t really discussed it,” Howard says. “I think we’ll just have that conversation when the time arises.”

Are they hopeful at least that they'll achieve what they want to before the robots take over?

“Man, I'm not going to be a good robot servant at all,” Howard says. “I don't know how to do nothing but this. Robots don't eat fish, so I can't fish for them, you know what I'm saying? I'm screwed.”

Kiss didn't know this stadium gig would prove pivotal

The band's August 1976 performance in Anaheim, California, was its largest to date, with 42,000 fans packed into Anaheim Stadium. But at the time, Simmons said, it didn't really register how big a deal the show was.

For the first time in 50 years, fans can listen to the band's landmark California concert

BY CHARLIE VARGAS IN ANAHEIM, CALIF. Orange County Register

Before Kiss was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and made a name for themselves in the genre for their iconic stage presence, they performed anywhere that would have them.

"Each of us was making \$75 a week," said Gene Simmons, the bassist known for his demon makeup and extra-long tongue. "Within a year and a half, or so, we found ourselves headlining Anaheim Stadium, and when you're in the middle of the eye of the hurricane, all the swirling winds around you go by almost unnoticed."

The eye of the storm that Simmons referred to was Kiss's the Spirit of '76 Tour, also known as the Destroyer Tour. Simmons remembers the tour being backbreaking, with 10-hour car rides in a station wagon between gigs, with each band member trying to catch up on sleep.

The trip to Anaheim for their Aug. 20, 1976, performance didn't feel any different, but it would become a major milestone for the "Rock and Roll All Nite" group. At the time, the band didn't realize the traffic was headed to the same destination until they got closer. After squeezing through fans, the group arrived with just enough minutes to put on their makeup, catch a few songs from the opening acts, and then take the stage.

That night, Anaheim Stadium packed in more than 42,000 fans, the largest crowd the band had seen to date. Simmons said it didn't really register at that moment just how big of a deal it was, considering where the band was just a few years ago, mostly playing smaller venues to smaller crowds.

"Here you've had a full stadium of fans, and it seemed like it all happened literally overnight, and it made no sense," Simmons said. "We didn't have hit singles and barely got any coverage on TV or the media. There was just this kind of word-of-mouth thing. We were always a much bigger live band, certainly in the first few years, than we were as record sellers."

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Anaheim show, the band released “Kiss Destroys Anaheim ’76,” a newly mixed version of the concert from the original multitrack tapes developed by iconic rock producer and engineer Eddie Kramer. The release marks the first time this historic show is officially available to the public.

The new album also comes with a 60-page book filled with extensive liner notes by Ken Sharp, unreleased photos and memorabilia imagery. Sharp is the author and music journalist who co-wrote the band's official authorized biography “Kiss: Behind the Mask.”

"We were oblivious that it was going to be recorded live, but we assumed somebody would," Simmons said. "It was never intended to be released live, but management filmed and recorded it because it was our first time up at bat playing a stadium. If you were too young to be born when it happened, you can be there because the audience is as much a part of this as a performance."

Simmons recalls that rock duo Flo & Eddie introduced them that night, but what he remembers most vividly was the stage production's immense fog effect. As Simmons was coming down the 20-something flight of stairs in his seven-inch dragon boots, he took a tumble.

"If you see the video, you can hear a little bass flub, because I go down the stairs in my boots, but magically my bass didn't go out of tune, so we continued like nothing happened," he said.

Simmons and Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley also threw out the first pitch of the Angels game at the stadium on Aug. 15. The celebration ahead of the milestone featured a full Kiss-themed takeover night at the Anaheim stadium, full of activations, merch, music and more.

When asked whether he prepares for pitches at baseball games, Simmons said that preparation is not his style.

“I don’t prepare,” he said. “I’ve never warmed up my vocals. I don’t practice. I don’t do anything. There is such a thing as genetics. Doesn’t mean I’m better or smarter than you are. It just means whatever works for me works. Google or YouTube: ‘Gene Simmons throws out the ball at Dodger Stadium.’ It’s a sight and a pretty decent sweep. I don’t know why I can do that; it’s just the hand-eye coordination.”

Simmons said a few other things are coming for Kiss fans, including a motion picture of the band that is close to its casting phase, a cartoon show, comics and an upcoming Kiss Kruise in Las Vegas.

The Kiss Kruise: Land-locked in Vegas is headed to the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on Nov. 13-15. The event will feature member appearances, exclusive activities, and two unmasked Kiss sets (one acoustic and one electric), and an Ace Frehley All-Star Tribute where Simmons, Stanley, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer will come together alongside special guest artists to honor Frehley's lasting impact on the band and rock and roll.

"There's more Kiss stuff coming at people than they ever imagined," Simmons said. "It's going to blow your socks off."

From Steinbeck to Star Trek, what readers say we missed

CULTURE LIST FROM E1

Literature

Several readers thought Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which was shortlisted, should have been chosen over Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick" because of its role in catalyzing the abolitionist movement. Other frequently cited literary works include:

'Leaves of Grass,' Walt Whitman, 1855

"It was not only a sensual examination of America and ... the natural gifts of the land, but ... also a chronicle of our nation rived and rejoined. As a self published and continually iterated work, it also demonstrates the U.S. as a place for enterprise and reinvention. Lastly, it is clear that 'Leaves of Grass' influenced mid-to late-20th century writers such as [Philip] Roth and [John] Updike, as well as some of our greatest songwriters, most notably Bruce Springsteen — although it seems fairly obvious that Carole King, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon also took cues from the work."

'The Grapes of Wrath,'

John Steinbeck, 1939

"The Grapes of Wrath' accurately portrays the effects of corporate greed and its power over governmental policy on the very people it relies on to produce its products. It's particularly relevant today."

'To Kill a Mockingbird,' Harper Lee, 1960

"Speaks of both human compassion and cruelty; of race prejudices in America and the South; of the 'sin' of being different and, therefore, ostracized; of children's awakening to evil in the world."

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

TOP ROW, FROM LEFT: Miles Davis in 1959; Prince at the 2007 Super Bowl; the Ramones in 1986. "Kind of Blue," "Purple Rain" and "Ramones" were among the albums cited by readers.

MIDDLE: A performance of "Porgy and Bess" at New York's Metropolitan Opera.

ABOVE: "The Grapes of Wrath," John Steinbeck's 1939 novel set during the Great Depression.

Music

Bob Dylan and Elvis Presley were by far the most commonly noted omissions, but readers had trouble singling out a work from either artist to showcase. That said, "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Hound Dog" were cited, respectively.

Similarly, readers praised the sounds of Motown without pinpointing a particular work. (Motown artist Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" from 1980 — part of the artist's campaign to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. with a national holiday — was shortlisted by us.)

Readers felt strongly that jazz received short shrift, though Louis Armstrong was shortlisted and artists such as Duke Ellington were noted in Elahe Izadi's essay on the Harlem Renaissance. Miles Davis's 1959 album "Kind of Blue" was most commonly cited for its far-reaching influence, while John Coltrane's 1965 album "A Love Supreme" was also noted.

Classical music was another blind spot, per readers, who name-checked the iconoclastic composition “Three Places in New England” by Charles Ives, as well as the powerful pastoralism and revolutionary movement of the ballet “Appalachian Spring,” choreographed by Martha Graham and composed by Aaron Copland, who later arranged it as an orchestral work.

Here are some other missing musical pieces that moved readers:

'Porgy and Bess,' George Gershwin,

Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward, 1935

The first and arguably only American opera to become an artistic classic and financial success. ('Sweeney Todd' by Stephen Sondheim could be considered the second.) It features an all-Black cast and looks at life in Catfish Row, a poor community in South Carolina and the struggles they face: physical infirmity, poverty, drug addiction, sexual assault, but also the transformational power of love. An American opera? A total first! A gorgeous, timeless score. A heartbreaking story that elevates and dignifies a poor Black community, written in 1935 when the portrayal of Blacks had heretofore been nothing more than "Step N Fetch It" and "Mammy" one-dimensional characters meant to entertain a White audience. Absolutely groundbreaking!

'Potato Head Blues,' Louis Armstrong and His Hot Seven, 1927

Louis Armstrong, whose swing-style trumpet and singing changed American music forever, deserves a Top 25 slot. His massive influence is so overlooked. You listen to 'Potato Head Blues,' and it sounds so modern, because the style was imitated over and over again by great American artists such as Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, Sly Stewart, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, every influential musician who followed Armstrong. Listen to his works and try to imagine that, in the 1920s, his swing style was new, groundbreaking, had never been heard before! Armstrong's 'West End Blues' [from 1928] is not an 'honorable mention.' It is the foundation of the best music produced by the U.S. and much of the world since the moment it was heard.

'Blowin' in the Wind,' Bob Dylan, 1963

"This was an iconic protest song, which served to stimulate protests against the Vietnam War. You have left out that war and the backlash it produced in terms of an incredible array of music. This Dylan song and others, like 'A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall' and 'Masters of War,' led the way."

'Are You Experienced,' Jimi Hendrix, 1967

"Hendrix used feedback and a limitless sonic and lyric-writing imagination to create a new art form that impacted every subsequent guitarist, helped create heavy metal, and made people like Miles Davis and Brian Eno rethink what music was about."

'Ramones,' The Ramones, 1976

"Most agree that this album was the first true punk album (everything that proceeded it was 'proto-punk'). Not only did this album inspire the Sex Pistols, the Clash and other important punk, new wave and post-punk bands, it represented the most important revolution in popular music since jazz because of its embrace of the DIY ethos. One did not need to be a master musician to play music; one did not need to know more than a SEE CULTURE LIST ON E7

It represented the most important revolution in popular music since jazz because of its embrace of the DIY ethos.

CULTURE LIST FROM E6

handful of chords to write songs; one did not need cutting-edge studio technology to record an album; one only needed ripped jeans, an old leather jacket and a beat-up pair of Chuck Taylors to be in a band. Everything was stripped down, brought back to basics. It was as much an aesthetic revolution as a musical one, and it transformed culture here and abroad in ways that are now tightly woven into our daily existence."

'Purple Rain,' Prince, 1984

"Not only influential to music and an awesome album but it ... incurred the wrath of Tipper Gore and started the PMRC [Parents Music Resource Center], which directly led to the parental warning label on albums. The warning label affected many musicians' sales when stores like Walmart refused to stock their albums; it also had the forbidden-fruit effect of promoting gangster rap and eventually Eminem."

'This Is America,' Childish Gambino, 2018

"For the last entry, I absolutely agree with 'Lemonade,' but you should replace [Donald Glover's] 'Atlanta' with [Glover's musical alter-ego] Chilish Gambino's tour-de-force 'This Is America.' I teach a 12th-grade elective called 'Music & U.S. History' — we spend an entire lesson breaking down the allusions and easter eggs in the music video, and it blows away the students every time."

Movies & TV

"The Wizard of Oz," "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" were shortlisted by us, but readers argued that they should have made the Top 25.

Two more recent entries in our list, “The Matrix” and “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” were particularly controversial, with many questioning their artistic merit.

Here are other TV shows and movies nominated by readers:

'Gone With the Wind,'

Victor Fleming, 1939

"This was a best-selling book for decades and the film is still the film that has sold more tickets than any other. Yes, there are issues with it, but it was the film that provided the first Academy Award win for Black actress Hattie McDaniel, who said she would rather make \$750 a week playing a maid than \$7 a week being one."

'I Love Lucy,' Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, 1951-1957

"The show is responsible for creating [the] three-camera filming technique and TV show reruns. First TV show to have an interracial couple and first to feature a pregnant woman. The comedy on the show is timeless and has been repeated over the years on TV and [in] films. Because of the success of 'I Love Lucy,' the studio, Desilu, helped create and film two other TV shows that have had a huge impact on American life: 'Mission Impossible' and 'Star Trek.'"

'The Godfather,' Francis Ford Coppola, 1972

"The film changed movies forever. Anti-heroes, sequels, sweeping storylines were rare before Francis Ford Coppola's crime-world epic."

'Sesame Street,' Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett, 1969-present

It's hard to argue against 'Moonrise' [as the pick] for the late 1960s/early 1970s, but 'Sesame Street' wholly changed early education in the United States (and later abroad), bringing research-based teaching to all children across socio-economic lines, and re-imagining the relationship between families and what had been called the 'boob tube.' Sixty years later, Joan Ganz Cooney's vision for how to make productive use of the features that made commercial TV and advertisements so engaging is still going strong. As Cooney named her effort a 'Workshop,' it has continually evolved as we know more about early-child development and to keep pace with the changing media environment.

'South Park,' Trey Parker and Matt Stone, 1997-present

“‘South Park’ has done more than Lenny Bruce, George Carlin or any other single force to expand the boundaries of American free speech. There is virtually no major U.S. public figure or institution they haven’t lampooned. In an era of increasingly authoritarian government and interference with the media, ‘South Park’ ensures that all Americans, from Donald Trump on down, remain accountable to the satirist’s pen.”

CULTURE LIST FROM E7

Speeches and other calls to action

Numerous commenters thought there weren't enough mentions of people who spoke out against unjust conditions or whose words and actions spurred societal change. Speeches and letters by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. were frequently cited by readers, as was Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in 1863. One reader noted the omission of journalist Ida B. Wells's documentation of the lynching of Black people, including "Southern Horors" (1892-1894) and 1895's "The Red Record."

The tome “Alcoholics Anonymous” (1939) and Joseph Smith’s 1830 text “The Book of Mormon” were also noted as significantly changing millions of lives.

Readers were also quick to call us out on the omission of two women who published major works in the 1960s: environmentalist Rachel Carson and feminist Betty Friedan.

Here are a sampling of some of their comments.

Rosa Parks's mug shot, 1956

"Rosa Parks's mug shot — or the iconic photograph of her seated on a Montgomery bus after the boycott — are among the most consequential images in American history. Her quiet act of resistance helped launch the modern Civil Rights Movement, elevated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to national leadership, and set the nation on a path toward the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and the Fair Housing Act. The Montgomery Bus Boycott also inspired later movements for women's rights, environmental justice, consumer protection, disability rights and immigrant rights. Rosa Parks's courage didn't just change a city — it transformed the nation and became a symbol of the global struggle for justice and equality."

'Silent Spring,' Rachel Carson, 1962

"For me, like many of the baby boom generation, this represented the beginning of my environmental awakening. Reading this book, I realized for the first time how fragile the natural world around me actually was and how much damage humans could cause (and are still causing)."

Martin Luther King Jr.'s

'I Have a Dream' speech, 1963

"To me there is nothing that had more impact on the culture, direction and vision for this country than MLK's 'I Have a Dream' speech at the Lincoln Memorial. It not only inspired millions of people of all races, genders, religions and cultures, but set in motion a series of legislative actions that had profound impacts on this country."

King's 'Letter From a Birmingham Jail,' 1963

"King wants the peace-at-any-price moderates to recognize their complicity in supporting a system that is designed to favor some at the expense of others. 'Letter' allowed the farmer in Kansas, the housewife in Seattle and the businessman in Boston to understand the high-stakes drama taking place throughout jurisdictions where citizens were judged by their skin color, rather than the quality of their character. 'Letter' should be required reading for every middle-school student."

'The Feminine Mystique,' Betty Friedan, 1963

"Its simple message is that women are not homebodies meant to spend their lives on cleaning, cooking, child care and deferring to male authority and egos. It sold millions of copies, [and] jumpstarted a political, social and cultural movement that has changed the country in ways we are still getting used to. I'm really surprised The Post overlooked it."

New ways to imagine

The personal computer, followed by the iPhone, have changed our lives in ways once unthinkable, readers were quick to note. (Interestingly, not one cited artificial intelligence.)

Some also forcefully argued that comics and dolls shaped our belief systems in big ways.

Action Comics #1 featuring Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, 1938

"While included in notable mentions, Action Comics #1 should have been elevated above Robert Johnson. Comic books are one of America's most exported cultural inventions. Action Comics took that new American medium and combined it with the oldest fictional genre, the superhero story. The heir to Gilgamesh, Superman is nearly universally recognized the world over. Since being lifted from the comic pages onto the silver screen 50 years ago, Superman and his inspirations have dominated American culture. I get there is some subjectivity to this exercise but there is no metric you can use which doesn't prove the cultural impact of Superman far exceeds the recordings of one incredible blues musician."

Barbie, Mattel, 1959

"This doll revolutionized how girls played. Before Barbie their dolls were babies whom they rocked and put to bed, or little children whose hair they permed. Through these baby dolls or pretty children, girls acted out their grown-up destiny to be a Mommy. That 1950s ideal was squashed when shapely Barbie came on the scene. Barbie was a teenager with boyfriends and stylish clothes. The fantasy of Barbie and her many clothes outfits allowed little girls to envision a different course for themselves, eventually even acting out Barbie's career life."

Apple Macintosh personal computer, Jeff Raskin and Steve Jobs, 1984

"Because of its iconic status as a premier example of American tech leadership and ingenuity, as well as [for] being important in leveling the cultural landscape here and abroad."

The iPhone, Steve Jobs, 2007

“More than the iPod, it has transformed not only American culture but the world. On the one hand a work of technical art and beauty, on the other, a transformation of communication for adults down to toddlers. It’s not a stretch to say it has altered human consciousness.”

I'm friends with my boss. His divorce means I'm doing more work.

ILLUSTRATIONS BY KATTY HUERTAS/THE WASHINGTON POST; ISTOCK

Say More AMY PARLAPIANO

Dear Say More: My boss and I have been working together for about five years now. We work well together and often share about our personal lives. My boss is gay and is now

divorcing his husband. They've been together for over 20 years but only married for about four. His husband cheated on him, among other things. I attended their wedding and was very upset about the breakup.

It's been difficult watching my boss fall apart. He's had a hard time finding passion for work, and I have picked up a lot of the slack (although I don't get paid at his level). He comes in late, he leaves early, and he's gained a ton of weight. We talk a lot, but he doesn't want to hear criticism or advice, and I'm not particularly keen to give it.

I want to support him, but I am unsure of the best way to do it. I'm also getting tired of doing a lot of extra work but not getting compensated for it. I cannot betray him by complaining to the higher-ups. Advice on how to move forward?

Tired in Tennessee

Tired in Tennessee: It's natural to worry. Someone you like and trust has been unmoored. Your boss may continue to gain weight, or start losing it rapidly; he could come in with a preposterous new hairstyle or buy a \$2,000 leather jacket that is very ugly. What he probably needs is time off to navigate this emotionally debilitating stretch of his life. We're offered "bereavement" leave at work when someone dies, but what are we offered when we're grieving the life we used to live and the person we used to be? He may be trying to figure that out. You can try to help him, but you'll need to delineate between the needed changes you're seeking at work and the compassion you hope to provide for him outside of it.

Because while he is going through a heartbreaking situation at home, he's also, whether intentionally or not, taking advantage of you and your kindness at work. This, for your own sake, should be addressed.

You describe him more as a friend than as a superior. Either way, he still holds the power. If this were a different friend going through the same struggle, you'd probably tell him about your concerns and find a way to put some boundaries up so you're not as affected by his emotional fallout. Friendship is often about saying, “Look, I know you don’t want to hear this, but ...” You’re less inclined to do that here, because ... well, he is your boss. It’s kind of weird! He can tell you what to do, and he’s telling you not to give him advice while also expecting — without really asking — that you’ll pick up the extra slack at work. You’re acquiescing to both.

Meet and express your honest concern, but frame it first around work. Tell him you've become overwhelmed with assignments that don't fit under the purview of your title, and it's important that a new structure is put in place because this is not feasible. Ask him what that will look like, and see how he responds. After you raise your initial

concerns with him, you could try to set up a meeting between you, him and his boss, so the three of you can work out a plan of how to best move forward. You can also express your genuine support for him, and tell him you hope he has looked into the leave policies and talked to his boss about taking the time he needs to process this change in full.

That's one way to bring up what's happening with your boss in the office. Then you can consider ways to support your friend outside of it. Maybe you could send him meals, or drop some off if he lives nearby. Text him funny memes. If you feel that your relationship is strong enough, you could recommend that he talk to a professional.

It is possible for the professional relationship and friendship to coexist, but not as you've currently described it. There need to be lines between the two, and it sounds like maybe there never were. If nothing changes at work, you should escalate the situation and/or consider a change of scenery for yourself, whether within the same company or elsewhere.

You're worried about betraying him and losing the tight-knit relationship you have. But if he's not willing to acknowledge how, in his own agony, he's harming you professionally, then maybe you don't really have much of a relationship — at least a working one — to protect after all.

I realized I'm gay. Is there hope for a nearly 30-year-old virgin?

Say More SHANE O'NEILL

Dear Say More: I'm a 29-year-old woman, happy and successful in my career, have great friends and hobbies I enjoy, and I'm fit and not unattractive. Up until now I've

dated men, had a few serious relationships, but never experienced the big O with them. By myself, yep, lots. I finally woke up one day and realized it's not them, it's me, and I'm lesbian.

Not sure how I could not have noticed this before. I grew up here in the DMV in a family with aunts and cousins who are lesbian, have friends who are ENM bisexual, and my dad's two best friends were gay — but I suppose I could still have internalized homophobia.

I recently went on the dating apps, and I'm getting no matches. Is there no hope for a nearly 30-year-old virgin? Should I hide it? Lean into it with humor?

- Too Young to Die Alone

Too Young to Die Alone: Let's start with this: WOO HOOOO!

It's always a cause for celebration to figure these things out. But honestly? It's particularly good news to be a lesbian when you are a single woman approaching your 30s.

Some of the happiest and healthiest relationships I see are between women past their 20s. I'm not great at math, but if you are a lesbian, I think dating women will lead to an approximate 100 percent increase in emotional and sexual satisfaction. Plus, you are way less likely to encounter unplanned pregnancies, ungenerous lovers and unwelcome conversations about Andrew Huberman. Like I said: WOO HOOOO!

Don't stress about being 29. When I was approaching 30, I felt like milk that had been left out on a kitchen counter. Ignore that feeling. The devil is a liar.

Lesbian awakening can happen at any age. I've met women who were literally living together as roommates for years before they suddenly realized, in their 60s, that they were in love. If you're looking for a cute example, check out the 1977 documentary "Word Is Out: Stories From Some of Our Lives" (streaming on Criterion and available on YouTube), which features a divorced woman with children who falls for a new butch on the block.

Also, it's good to practice saying phrases like “Word Is Out: Stories From Some of Our Lives.” For some reason, our queer community loves wordy titles like that.

As for your lack of sexual experience, I don't think you need to hide it or lean into it. It's totally normal to be 29 and on the hunt for your first Sapphic sleepover. If someone thinks it's weird or makes you feel weird about it, you don't want to be sleeping with them anyway.

That said, it could be a selling point. Finding a queer woman eager to show you the ropes is like spotting curtain bangs at a Muna concert: It's not every single person, but it's also not that hard to find.

Do your best, stay attuned to reactions both verbal and nonverbal, and you'll get the hang of it. And if you don't know whether something is working, ask!

Remember that an orgasm achieved on your own is just as valid as one that comes from another's touch. You'll figure out what works for you. In the meantime, don't be afraid to O with what you know, even in the presence of a partner.

And please do whatever you can to let go of anxieties about being a “virgin.” Virginity is a construct. It has historically been used to control and extract monetary value from women’s bodies. Unless you’re a high school senior starring in a 1980s teen sex comedy, the concept has no actual value.

As for those apps, are you on all of them? Tinder, Lex, OkCupid, Feeld, Her, Zoe, Taimi, Hinge, Bumble and whichever other ones have popped up since I started typing this sentence? And have you asked your friends to help you edit your profile and select your photos?

Speaking of which: As soon as you're ready, I'd hit up those ENM (that's ethically nonmonogamous) bisexual pals. It'll be nice to get support from them. But also? They can start spreading the word that there's a new lesbian in town. You know that theory that every human is just six degrees away from every other human on Earth? Among lesbians, it's more like negative two degrees.

Keep on keepin' on. She's out there, and she will be lucky to meet you.

And once more: WOO HOOOOOOO!!

Finding a queer woman eager to show you the ropes is like spotting curtain bangs at a Muna concert: It's not every single person, but it's also not that hard to find.

I think I'm losing my BFF, and I don't know what to do

Say More ELAHE IZADI

Dear Say More: I'm struggling to stay in touch with my (former?) BFF Morgan, who lives on the opposite U.S. coast as me. I'm 38, married with two young kids and work full

time. Morgan works full time, is single and dating and enjoying her semi-recent realization that she's queer. I say this only because she's actively trying to create a queer community for herself and is immersed in events on many nights and weekends.

We met in middle school; I consider her family, she was my maid-of-honor, etc. We lived in different cities throughout our 20s but managed to find times to connect through long phone calls and trips together. Now we are both settled in our very different lives.

I recently heard someone say that a friendship can't really continue on notions of "catching up" and you need to create new memories for it to survive. It just feels like our schedules never align to have the long catch-up session anymore. We've started sharing voice notes instead of texting, which helps. But I'm sad over the slow-moving dissolution of a once very tight friendship into just someone I catch up with occasionally. I'm not sure exactly what my question is, but is there anything I'm missing on what I can do?

- Anonymous

Anonymous: No shade to the person who told you friendships need new memories to survive, but no. Who has the time! I'm exhausted just thinking about that.

The richest friendships aren't just playgrounds but safe harbors we retreat to as we live life, even if we aren't doing that living together. Long-term friends are particularly special because you've seen each other through many phases. They may know us in ways we can't even articulate to ourselves; they are our mirrors.

Now, friendships do need mutual respect, love, trust and connection. It sounds as if you and Morgan have the first three (I hope?), but you feel the last element is slipping. That doesn't mean it's beyond repair.

Friendships often form because of proximity and shared experiences, and that's what holds a lot of them together. But I'm not sensing you and Morgan stayed friends because of convenience. Otherwise, you'd have split long ago. And, personally, I think we'd all be better off if we had a mix of friends living different lives than our own, not only those with the same schedules and Zip codes.

So, if you want to preserve this bond, I'd suggest a reframe: Your friendship isn't slowly dissolving, but its circumstances have changed. So you'll need to update the mechanics of the friendship and your expectations.

I see the new habit of voice memos as an encouraging sign; you're both still trying to stay connected, despite the constraints. And there's power to those random texts and voice memos. Swapping jokes, memes, book and TV recommendations, as well as news articles, and inviting each other's commentary isn't just small stuff; it allows you to feel as though you're still living in the same world as each other. You could flag your desire to feel more connected and bring intentionality by suggesting scheduling something mutually doable, like a monthly video chat or call, where you can dive right into how the other is doing, not just review the play-by-play of your days.

Talk about your friendship mechanics. One of my closest friends, whom I also consider family, has never lived in the same city as me. We have very different lives and demanding schedules. But we have a spoken agreement that if one calls the other, it's because that person happens to have a minute and makes the attempt just in case the stars align. There's no expectation of an answer or an imminent return call. It frees us of the fear of being let down or burdening the other. We just know we're both trying.

Such friendships need grace baked in. Morgan is in the beginning stages of cultivating community, and budding relationships are like seedlings that need a lot of attention to grow. You're raising children, who also need a lot of attention to grow (and, frankly, stay alive). If one or both of you is tied up because of that, can you resist taking it as an implicit sign that your friendship doesn't matter, or that it's not possible? Instead, encourage each other in your paths. Ask questions. Show interest. That's how you show care.

By all means, please mourn the friendship of your 20s, when you could hop on planes to go on trips together or gab on the phone for hours. That phase may be over (for now; life is long, and things can change!). And maybe you just feel like the friendship has run its course. But can you be open to the possibility of your friendship evolving into one that feels even more fulfilling? Because all that will be tethering you to each other is love.

In translating games and anime, accuracy isn't everything

TRANSLATION FROM E1

language studies inspired by the Japanese games he grew up on, like the Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy franchises.

"I think it's always been happening," he said of arguments over translation. Social media, he said, has simply made "everyone's opinion more accessible."

He also welcomes the debate, to a point. Different interpretations can force people to think about what a piece of writing actually means, he said, which encourages analysis of themes and characters. The problem comes when interpretation is mistaken for some kind of mathematical equation. This simplifies the complexity of language and culture too much, Fox said.

"People tend to look at this language being more complex ... when it's really not about complexity, it's about the type of language, and being low context, high context or somewhere in between," Fox said. "Languages like English are low context, being very information heavy. Everything that you need to know is in the sentence."

Japanese takes into account who is speaking, relations with who is listening and other cultural context clues.

The word “washi,” for example, translates to “I,” Fox said, but it implies an older speaker. The Japanese language often puts a greater onus on the reader or hearer to decode meaning than English would, he said.

Modern localization, especially for video games, happens at a massive scale today. Fox oversees translation for “Final Fantasy XIV,” which since its release in 2013 has become one of the biggest online role-playing games ever made and a major moneymaker for publisher Square Enix.

Fox said a large update for the game can contain about 200,000 words, enough for a lengthy novel, while major expansions to its world and story can approach 500,000 words. The English localization team can grow to more than 10 people as expansions approach release.

Different translations can use different words and still be defensible. The version

"We're not doing academic translation, we're doing entertainment translation. You can get the words across, but if you're not getting the message across, then that's not a good localization."

Michael-Christopher Koji Fox, localization director for Square Enix

someone encountered first can become definitive through that first impression, evolving into nostalgia.

Fox pointed to the original English translation of “Final Fantasy VII.” Released in 1997, video game localization was still in its infancy, with work dumped on small teams or just one person. The result was charming yet awkward lines of English beloved by a generation of players simply because they were the words they grew up with.

“Again, that ultimately comes down to interpretation, what each individual wants out of a translation and how they're interpreting those translations,” Fox said. “That's why you get so many different opinions, and people are super passionate.”

Another common accusation levied against translators is that they have agency to “censor” something for different audiences.

Localizers simply don't have that power, Fox said. Differences between regional releases can originate from the creators themselves, or be shaped by publishers, branding requirements and ratings boards.

"It's easy to point at localization because something changed between the versions, but a lot of times there are just so many factors that no one sees," Fox said.

When a line is ambiguous or tricky, Fox said the best solution is to simply ask the original writer about what they meant.

For “Final Fantasy XVI,” Fox and his team were given unusual latitude. The writers wanted the story to feel true to Western medieval fantasy stories. The initial script was written in Japanese, but the translations accounted for the actors and pacing of dialogue.

Japanese dialogue, Fox said, regularly features one character speaking at length while another listens and occasionally utters brief acknowledgments. In English, conversation is about call and response. So his team sometimes broke monologues apart, giving other characters lines and turning them into exchanges. The ideas are the same, but the rhythm is different.

The team used the Oxford English Dictionary when considering phrases for the game to avoid expressions originating after 1900. The goal was to create dialogue that sounded old while being accessible.

Still, the Japanese writing team has veto power. The ending for “Final Fantasy XVI” remained ambiguous about the fate of one character, and Fox wanted to make that more clear-cut. Fox lost that argument.

It all depends on the goal for the audience. When a Japanese joke is translated literally, the words may be accurate, but the humor is locked away in cultural context and wordplay. His team would sometimes test translated jokes among colleagues, reworking those that confused or fell flat.

For Fox, that's not necessarily an inaccurate translation. Getting the laugh may be more faithful to the writing than reproducing precise vocabulary.

“You could translate it perfectly, but if it's not getting the Western audience to laugh like you got the Japanese audience to laugh, then it's a failed translation,” he said. “The words are important, but it's the message that is more important.”

The Dolly Parton you may not know, in her own words

ASSOCIATED PRESS

For nearly five decades, Dolly Parton talked with Associated Press reporters about far more than the songs that made her famous. She talked about movie stardom, kissing a president and her charity work, among other things.

Those interviews captured a Parton who could be funny and self-deprecating but also clear-eyed about who she was and what she wanted.

Here is Parton, who died Tuesday at age 80, in her own words, as compiled by AP Music Writer Maria Sherman:

Parton knew she would be famous before Hollywood came calling

"I never thought of myself as a movie star. I knew I'd be a star, but as a singer or as a writer of songs or books or poetry. I wanted to be a famous performer and wear flashy clothes, but singing in movies was not one of my ambitions. My family lived in the mountains and we didn't see movies."

"I can't act a part, but if they allow me to be myself, then I can handle it. If they find me a story that allows me to be me, then I'm interested; if they don't, I'm not." (July 1979)

On kissing President Jimmy Carter at the White House

"My husband wants a picture of this, too." (October 1979)

Critical in her self-review of her performance in '9 to 5'

"In places I was real good. In places I was real average and in others I was ... (sticking out her tongue). All in all, for the first time out, I was proud of it." (December 1980)

Parton worried 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas' would offend her preacher grandfather

"I'll admit I had some misgivings about the title of the movie. After all, my granddaddy was a preacher, and I'm a spiritual person myself. I didn't want to do anything that might be considered offensive. Then I saw the play and I realized it was just a foot-stompin' good time." (December 1981)

Parton saw Dollywood as a way to let Appalachia tell its own story

"It's something I want to take pride in, to preserve the Smoky Mountain heritage rather than have Hollywood portray us as they often do." (July 1985)

On husband Carl Dean and happiness

"It was love at first sight. I see people who turn my head all the time. It's just that nobody's turned my head around as much as him." (May 1992)

On singing with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt

"We do love to sing. Your whole life you wait to find those compatible voices. It's like making love. ... I get off on it. I do. I get so thrilled. When it buzzes, it is good. It's just like sex in that way. Don't fight it." (March 1999)

On Elvis's legacy in eastern Tennessee

“I don’t think he will ever die down. He’s considered by many to be like a religious figure, like Jesus. ... I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s there, and it’s real, and people love it.” (August 2002)

Why she never wanted to retire

"I'll be like Bob Hope, touring when I'm 100. I love being busy. ... I will never retire. I hope to fall dead in the middle of some great event or some great song I'm singing. Then they'll say, 'Oh well, she went happy and doing what she loves.'" (April 2004)

On her award show performance after Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's Super Bowl show

"There's not going to be no wardrobe malfunction this evening. There's not supposed to be, it's not planned. But as tight as my clothes are there's no telling what will happen. If it does happen, I'm going to wipe out the first three rows." (April 2004)

Her label, Dolly Records,

was an investment in herself

"I'm looking at it like an investment. I thought, 'I've made enough money. I can afford to invest a little in myself.'" (March 2008)

On receiving her honorary doctorate

"Just think, I am Dr. Dolly! So when people say something about ‘Double-D,’ they will be thinking of something entirely different." (May 2009)

Looking back on 25 years of Dollywood

"I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area. Sure enough, I was lucky, and God was good to me and things happened good." (April 2010)

On being proud of Miley Cyrus

"I'm her fairy godmother. ... I'm just real proud of her. She does not need my advice, but she's often asking for information and advice,

CARLOS OSORIO/AP

Dolly Parton performs in Detroit in 2009. “I’ll be like Bob Hope, touring when I’m 100,” she said in 2004. “I love being busy. … I will never retire. I hope to fall dead in the middle of some great event or some great song I’m singing. Then they’ll say, ‘Oh well, she went happy and doing what she loves.’”

and I tell her what I know, but I think the girl's doing all right without me." (July 2010)

People thought Whitney Houston wrote one of her most famous songs

"People always tell me, 'I thought that was Whitney's song. I didn't know you wrote it. I thought she wrote it.' And I tell them, 'She can have the credit. I'll just take the cash.'" (December 2018)

On her charity work

"I don't do it for attention. But look! I'm getting a lot of attention by doing it." (October 2022)

On taking to rock music like 'a duck on a June bug'

"I just didn't think that I had done enough in the rock world to be considered, to be put in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame when there were so many great rock artists that are not even in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. ... They were going to put me in anyway, so I just accepted it gracefully. But I thought, 'Well, I'm going to have to earn my keep.' ... I jumped on that like a duck on a June bug." (November 2023)

On her family album and legacy

"My grandpa used to say, when I got famous, he said, 'Well, she came out crying in the key of D.' I think we all did."

"I hope that a lot of my songs may last that long. And I hope I'll be remembered as somebody that tried to do some good in the world and left, you know, a few good things." (November 2024)

On leaning into faith after losing husband Carl Dean and being a superstar

"I am a person of faith, and I truly believe that I'm going to see him again someday. And I see him every day in my memories and in my heart, and in all the things that we used to do and all the things that we've built together. You just kind of have to learn to kind of make new plans — but that's the hardest part."

“I don’t think about my life in terms of ‘superstar.’ I’m just a workin’ girl. I always say — and it’s the truth — that I am a workhorse that looks like a show horse. But I gotta keep it all up and I enjoy all of it. My husband always said, ‘If anybody was ever born to be a star, it’s you.’” (May 2025)

PHOTOS BY REY LOPEZ/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Henock Zacharias fulfills his duty as a “beef sommelier,” walking diners through the variety of options they can choose from at Ox & Olive, chef Ryan Ratino's new Georgetown steakhouse.

Another steakhouse? This one's (actually) groundbreaking.

Elazar Sontag

Dinner at Ox & Olive begins with a visit from the beef sommelier. How this makes you feel is a good barometer of your mood. They arrive in a bold red suit, wielding a grand silver platter arranged with various cuts of steak, each described in great detail.

Some are tall and lean, others thinner and so marbled that they look to be melting as the sommelier speaks. My initial eye-roll reaction to this song and dance would suggest that in late May, shortly after the restaurant opened, my whimsy levels were running dangerously low.

In my defense, the notion of a suited server with a more-or-less made-up title parading out a big plate of very expensive red meat struck me at the time as a foreboding gimmick. I could just picture Salt Bae lifting the idea for his next Dubai restaurant. It's at this point that I should clarify: After three dinners at Ox & Olive, a couple more dates with the restaurant's beef sommeliers and a taste of the meat they're hawking, I've re-upped my joie de vivre and changed my tune.

If any restaurant in Washington serves steak good enough to forgive a bit of campy dinner theater, it's this one — a self-described "temple of beef" that isn't perfect but sure is a lot more fun than any other somber meat den in town.

Denizens of chef Ryan Ratino's other D.C. restaurants, Jönt and Bresca, will recognize Ox & Olive as perhaps the most honest expression of his signature idea of a good time. The music is loud, alternating between heavy metal and hip-hop (a common theme at Ratino restaurants). And if you told me that the dining room, which he modeled after a hunting lodge, had once been the set for “The Hunting Wives,” my tacky-fabulous TV obsession about the lives of some very wealthy, very Southern women with big guns and big grudges, I wouldn't have batted an eye. Sheepkins are draped over chair backs, antlers fashioned into dramatic

chandeliers, and candles left for months to melt into gobs of wax that form spooky sculptures. Oh, and the walls are painted jet-black. Why not?

With all of the restaurant's charming goofiness (before the beef sommelier comes a server who shakes a complimentary lemon drop or similarly fruity cocktail tableside), you could momentarily forget that Ratino is an obsessive Michelin-star-collector who is very, very serious about process.

For one, there are the steaks, which he sources from roughly two dozen farms in the United States, Australia and Japan. The open kitchen operates without a live fire, so to give each of these steaks a hearty crust, the team relies on the broiler. Once the meat is browned, it moves to a tabletop charcoal grill to develop some campfire flavor. And this is where things get extra: Fat and trimmings from the processing of steaks are shuttled over to Jônt's live-fire hearth, in which these beef bits are smoked and rendered. Then, back to Ox & Olive, where this liquid smoke — the real stuff, not the cloying solution from a bottle — is brushed on before your steak hits the table.

I've found every steak to be perspective-shifting. The seasoning is exacting, as is the cook. The smoke-simulating process Ratino labors over pays off big time. But it's the quality of the meat that makes me wonder how so many other steakhouses skate by serving humdrum rib-eyes sourced from two or three farms. Listen closely to your beef sommelier, and choose accordingly, because your decision matters. There's the slight blue cheese funk of an Australian rib-eye aged for 42 days, and the buttery popcorn finish of one cut from a Tennessee cow fed whiskey mash, not to mention the many tastes and textures of about 20 more I haven't tried. You can forgive the restaurant's terribly obnoxious motto — “Eat more beef” — in light of the fact that, to sample the array of Ox & Olive's constantly cycling options, you really will have to eat more beef.

The current cultural and political climate surrounding steak is ... strange. In a country

already disconnected from the origins of what we eat, beef's new home at the top of the food pyramid has transformed it further into something consumed as compulsively as a slice of toast, solely to be big and strong and, lest we forget, American. Ox & Olive is refreshing in its treatment of steak as something precious, a special event deserving of the same reverence and nuance we give to good wine. I don't know that eating more beef is what we — or our planet — really need, but on the occasions that we do, we should all be so lucky to learn about it from someone who cares enough to call themself a sommelier.

Other sections of the menu don't always deliver on the promise of the “eat more beef” lifestyle. The painfully salty and oddly stale-tasting crumbles of beef bacon on a wedge salad only served to remind me how delicious pork bacon is. I was stumped by steak tartare served on a little puck of dry bread, described in quotes as an “eclaire,” but sadly not tasting like anything close. It can sometimes feel like beef is being forced upon you, as in the case of gritty, too-cold beef tallow worked awkwardly into butter served with otherwise tasty brioche rolls. Mini brisket hot dogs are good enough, but a hot dog is not what my body screams for before a two-pound Wagyu rib-eye. I promise it would not spoil the effect to serve a few more appetizers that offer a break from the cow of it all.

On the other hand, Ratino and company have found some genuinely compelling ways to feed you beef beyond your steak dinner, including a peak-season stone fruit salad set over crème fraîche and topped with strips of paper-thin cured beef similar in taste and texture to prosciutto. A burger reserved for those seated at the bar is stellar, made with steak trimmings and gilded with smoky-sweet onions and what is essentially homemade Big Mac sauce.

If you want an unabashedly gluttonous meal and a better understanding of Ratino's high-low heart and soul, you can order the burger as a combo, which comes with french fries and chocolate soft-serve for dipping. (I've not yet done this combo. Maybe someday.) Should you feel inspired to shirk beef completely, I would ask why you're here, but lobster thermidor is a good contender, topped with melty cheese and served in a richly layered curry.

I wish I could recommend the restaurant's signature dessert, a carrot cake shaped and colored like a carrot and, in honor of Ratino's childhood love of "Looney Tunes," finished off with two googly eyes. As the carrot stares up at you, it's hard to feel anything but pure appreciation for a restaurant so willing to have a laugh. Until you take a bite, which tastes mostly of sugar, sorely lacking in cream cheese twang. A chocolate mille-feuille is nicely bitter if you feel so inclined to end on something sweet. I rarely do. Truth is, by the time all the beef is done, it's hard to imagine ever eating again.

Chiara Manoli with Qualya, Plume and Roanne last month during their daily morning walk in Switzerland's Great St. Bernard Pass.

Where Saint Bernards are the big attraction

Visitors flock to Switzerland's Barryland, a theme park dedicated to the storied breed

BY ANDREA SACHS

etting out for a hike one summer's morning on Great St. Bernard Pass, the highest point along the Via Francigena route from England to Rome, I thought I was prepared. My trekking companions proved me wrong.

For starters, I should have worn gear that wicked sweat and slobber, and anticipated frequent breaks for kibble and belly rubs. I also should have known that my local guides, Swiss ambassadors named for the pass affiliated with St. Bernard of Montjoux, the patron saint of the Alps and hikers, would draw as much attention as Roger Federer swatting tennis balls in his home court.

“Mamma mia!” Chiara Manoli, a dog keeper with the Barry Foundation, exclaimed as she led a trio of Saint Bernards through a crowd gathering at the trailhead, their phone cameras held aloft like paparazzi.

Since 1887, Saint Bernards have been the jowly face of Switzerland, a national symbol as Swiss as Patek Philippe watches, army knives and neutrality. The XL dog breed originated at a way station for pilgrims

Leslie Jones walks into a one-star Airbnb ...

The setup sounds like a “Saturday Night Live” sketch, but it’s actually the premise of a new HGTV series starring the comedian and SNL alumna. In “Roast My Rental,” which premiered July 24, Jones conducts tough-love interventions at struggling vacation properties. Her style of rental therapy is to mock, then mend; heckle, then help.

"This where you live before they turn you into a doll," Jones says in Episode 3, "Backwoods Breakdown," as the camera pans a creepy loft bedroom populated by stuffed animals, including the disembodied head of a hobby horse.

In each of the show's 11 episodes, Jones arrives at a California rental bedeviled by bad reviews and delivers constructive criticism with the candor of a stand-up comedian.

"When I'm roasting them, I understand it's their house, but I do go hard sometimes," she said in an interview with The Washington Post.

After the inspection, Jasmine Roth, the host of "Help! I Wrecked My House," and her team have three days to overhaul the place, ripping out carpeting (in the bathroom, of all godfor-saken places), replacing the rickety stairs (begone, tetanus-risk nails) and upgrading the window treatment (magnetized shades for the Futuro house). Hugs ensue, as do five-star reviews.

As a touring comedian and actor averse to grungy accommodations, Jones is a natural fit for the HGTV gig. Several properties she has rented could even earn their own episode, such as the house with the giant beehive in the wall.

The host “said it wasn’t there before we got there,” Jones recalled. “I asked him, ‘So, do you think that I brought a beehive with me?’”

We asked Jones to share her nightmare experiences, plus tips on how to prevent your stay in a rental from becoming a punch line.

Photos don't always show the full story

Jones does not trust online descriptions or photos, especially after her fly incident. (Yes, another insect infestation story.)

After settling into an Airbnb in Los Angeles, she noticed a disconcerting number of flies buzzing around. The source of the swarm? A dumpster in front of the house that the profile photos did not disclose.

"There was so many flies, I had to get flycatchers," she said.

To avoid surprises, Jones says to ask “a billion questions” before you arrive, such as what businesses and buildings are in the vicinity — a school, a train station, a landfill? If the host refuses to answer your questions, don't book.

No tub in the bedroom or colored towels

When choosing a rental, Jones follows a strict set of standards that she will attempt to uphold by poring over the profile or flat-out asking the host. Among the non-negotiables: The property must have air-conditioning and reliable internet. The tub must occupy the bathroom, not the bedroom. No carpeting, personal family photos or weathered furniture — all three of which appear in the third episode.

"Why are you using leftover furniture that some people gave you and nobody wants to sit on?" she said. "Get good furniture."

Her biggest nuh-uhs are colored linens and towels.

“Colored sheets are disgusting,” she said. “If I go to some place and they have colored linens, like red or pink sheets — no, no, no. Oh, dude. Take those off!”

White is her preferred shade, because it can't hide dirt. If she suspects the rental place stocks colored towels, she will bring her own set.

Beware of bad smells

Upon entering a rental, Jones will get a good whiff of the place. Her favorite scent is disinfectant.

She is leery of perfume scents, which could be masking an even greater offense, such as mildew. She reminds hosts that when they clean their carpets, they should open the windows and let them dry, and that they should never leave clothes and linens in

the washer.

"It mildews," she said.

In addition to the sniff test, Jones will check for bedbugs. If she is really suspicious, she will run a hot iron over the sheets and mattress.

“Bedbugs go straight to heat,” she said, “and you’ll see them come up.”

(Shannon Sked, national technical director at the pest control company Orkin, does not recommend this technique. He said that heat can help kill bedbugs but that a hot iron isn't effective and could be a fire hazard. Instead, he said, place bedding in a dryer and set it to the highest heat setting for 30 to 45 minutes.)

Purge the kitchen

A word to guests or hosts who leave leftovers in the kitchen:

"Yuck, yuck, yuck."

Though some guests may appreciate a starter kit with unused and sealed products, such as snacks and cold beverages, Jones said the kitchen should be cleared of all food items in case they have been contaminated or adulterated. If the host wants to provide some pantry staples, leave salt and pepper shakers.

“You can get those from the 99-cent store,” Jones said. “They come in a package.”

Dubious of other people's cutlery-cleaning skills, she will run the silverware through the dishwasher as extra insurance.

Hosts, know your boundaries

At a Venice Beach rental in California, a fence separated her lodging from the owner's house. That didn't stop him from cross-

ing the line.

She said he repeatedly dropped by to say hello, invited her on outings and texted her during a sanctioned party at the rental. At 6 a.m. the following day, she heard him scrubbing the driveway where they had grilled.

She didn't leave a negative review but told him at checkout that his chumminess made her uncomfortable and that she felt as if he were watching her.

"It was very creepy, and I would never rent this place again," she said.

Instead of a negative review, share on social media

If Jones has a disappointing rental experience, she won't complain via the review process; she just won't return.

"It's really hard for me to write a bad review because I feel bad," she said. "I don't want to ruin their business."

However, if she feels wronged, she may take her grievances to social media, allowing her to vent without directly affecting the property's overall star rating.

"I'll post that s---. I'll be like, 'Look at the Airbnb I'm staying in and this dude won't give me my money back.'"

Fortunately, in the case of the beehive house, the owner refunded her before she shared the tale with her 2.3 million Instagram followers.

A message to bad Airbnb hosts

While filming the show, Jones experienced exceptional Airbnbs run by hosts who “get it.” But travelers, she warned, need to be careful of greedy, lazy hosts who cut corners.

“Families are going to rent it because it's a good price, but gross,” she said. “You might as well stay in a broken-down motel.”

As for slackers and shirkers taking advantage of guests, she urged them to “step up your game.” Otherwise, they could find themselves on the wrong end of a Leslie Jones roast.

‘They really give off big bear energy,’ a dog keeper at Barryland says

SAINT BERNARDS FROM F1

crossing the perilous Great St. Bernard Pass in the Pennine Alps, which straddle Switzerland and Italy. (The travelers' rest stop is officially called a hospice, a wholly different meaning than the more common sense of the word.)

For three centuries, the Augustinian canons who established the refuge in 1050 bred Saint Bernards as watchdogs and to rescue travelers exposed to the harsh winter elements — blizzards, avalanches, hypothermic temperatures. Their most famous four-legged first-responder was Barry, who reportedly saved about 40 people in the early 1800s and now rests in perpetuity at the Natural History Museum in Bern.

In 1984, the Saint Bernards fully retired from this line of work, replaced by modern advancements in travel and rescue operations, including helicopters better suited for breeds that weigh a lot less than a full keg of beer. Instead of becoming dogs of leisure, however, the Valais branch of the Saint Bernard family switched careers.

From the mountains to their own museum

Nearly every morning, a white van with red trim pulls up to the back entrance of Barryland, the world's only theme park dedicated to the Swiss dog breed. A side door slides open, unleashing a stampede of Saint Bernards.

Staff members, treat-filled fanny packs slung at their hips, herd the dogs into grassy yards connected to enclosures inside the museum in Martigny, about 85 miles east of Geneva. Some of the dogs gambol like bear cubs; others drag their paws, sniffing at every crack in the pavement. Occasionally, a Saint Bernard will go rogue.

“Athena! Athena!,” a dog keeper shouted while clapping her hands at the 7-year-old renegade who had entered through the visitors’ door. “She’s deaf,” the employee explained to a guest standing by an exhibit that explores a dog’s sense of smell, taste, sight and hearing.

The Barry Foundation's roughly 30 dogs — the number fluctuates with the cycle of life — are direct descendants of the Saint Bernards that lived at the mountaintop hostel from the 1700s until the early aughts. In 2005, the nonprofit dedicated to preserving the Saint Bernard's heritage and lineage became the primary custodians of the kennels, breeding program and dogs.

“You need a lot of space and money and a big car,” said Andrea Zollinger, the foundation’s head of corporate communications. "They aren't Chihuahuas."

As part of the arrangement, the canons requested about 10 dogs return to their ancestral home from June through September, the high season for trekkers, bikers, overnight guests and roadtrippers. Barry Foundation enlists these pups for its high-demand summer hiking program.

The “in-town” dogs live in a private boarding facility about 25 corkscrew miles from the hospice and a mile from Barryland, where they rotate shifts at the attraction. Fall through spring, they live together as one pack, unless they are traveling for work as therapy dogs.

The foundation has run a museum since 2005, but in June 2025 it opened a more expansive and interactive paw-shaped venue built specifically for the Saint Bernards and the people who, when you say “Beethoven,” immediately think Swiss dog not German composer.

A still from the 1938 short film “Man’s Greatest Friend” shows a man being rescued by a Saint Bernard.

“We love Saint Bernards because of the sweet look they have on their face, the way they look at us with such love and protection,” said Alexandra Piatti, a dog keeper at Barryland. “They really give off big bear energy.”

Inside the world of Barryland

The Saint Bernards at Barryland are almost always on view, whether they are sunbathing in the outdoor runs or chilling inside the soundproof glass “boxes” that resemble a natural-history museum’s display cases but without the elaborate staging.

Staff members also cut through the upper gallery with the dogs, as they move between the pens and the live demonstration rooms or lead them on daily walks around the property. (To protect the animals, visitors must ask before petting and accept the answer.)

The dogs remain upstairs, above an entire ground floor of exhibits that cover their history, heroics and rise as models for Swiss chocolate and liquor companies.

Throughout the day, the staff holds live demonstrations with the Saint Bernards, such as enrichment activities, hydrotherapy sessions critical for a breed predisposed to hip dysplasia and a general “dog care” talk.

"Our goal is to maintain this breed," Piatti said.

On a Friday afternoon in July, Piatti placed Edène on a raised platform, the 6-year-old standing as still as a 150-pound stuffed animal. Piatti brushed her silky coat, massaged her joints, checked her ears for the proper shade of pink, wiped her eye goop and groomed her neck scruff, which is susceptible to tangles from the slow drip of drool. Piatti also pulled back Edène's lips and brushed her teeth with chicken-flavored toothpaste.

After the presentation and under Piatti's watchful eye, Edène approached her audience and granted us the honor of rubbing her head.

Hiking with Saint Bernards

The foundation opens reservations for the Saint Bernard hikes in May. The outings, offered five days a week in July and August, sell out fast.

At Barryland, I met a mom and daughter visiting from Upstate New York who said they woke up at around 2 a.m. the day the treks went on sale, adjusting their clocks to Swiss time. Their preferred dates were booked, and the site was glitchy, but they persevered and reserved a slot in early July.

The New Yorker told me her husband did not understand why she would spend the money — \$432 for up to eight people in the same party — for an experience similar to the one they had at home with their own Saint Bernard. She disagreed, explaining that hiking with the dogs on their turf, and in their place of origin, was a dream realized.

The two-hour adventures depart from the kennels at the Hospice Museum, where the 10 dogs spend their summer. I arrived during enrichment hour and cheered on Haïka as she played basketball, nailing her dunks in the toy hoop.

keeper said, doling out congratulatory treats.

The dogs at Great St. Bernard Pass reside on the Swiss side of the divide but sometimes wander into Italy during their high-altitude hikes. The border is a few strides away, and the Italians embrace the Saint Bernards with the same gusto as the Swiss. The shops and kiosks overflow with Saint Bernard souvenirs, and visitors pose with a wood carving of a Saint Bernard set against the backdrop of Switzerland.

Though the hikes were sold out, Zellinger invited me on a morning stroll with Manoli, the dog wrangler, and Plume, Qualya and Roanne. Collectively, the dogs, which tipped the scale at 380 pounds, outweighed Manoli by several hundred pounds.

We followed a lakeside trail that could barely fit two humans side by side, but the leashed Saint Bernards walked nimbly along the narrow path. Manoli veered up into steep terrain that the dogs, now untethered, handled with the grace of mountain goats. Every so often, Plume would stand on a rock and gaze out at the sky, and Qualya would drop for a belly rub. We sipped water from flasks; the dogs lapped up water from a mountain stream.

In French, Manoli told the dogs to wait, wait, wait. Then, she gave the signal, and they barreled down the hill, their ears fluttering, and their jowls flapping.

On the return walk, we ran into a crowd that parted for our group. Even their dogs stepped to the side, making way for the great Saint Bernards.

I spent four days in a small Southwest Virginia town. It wasn't nearly enough.

Tribune News Service

ABINGDON, VA. — Abingdon is a town that punches above its weight — way above.

In this small town (population 8,270) in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, you might expect to find a scattering of mom-and-pop shops along a sleepy Main Street, a diner where the locals gather to catch up on the gossip, and a single B&B that is the traveler's only option.

What you wouldn't expect to find is an arts scene that compares to that of Asheville, a slew of restaurants that routinely show up on the "best of" lists, a historic inn that is the equal of any in the South, and an acclaimed theater whose productions rival anything you'll see on Broadway or London's West End.

No, I'm not kidding. Just ask Southern Living magazine, which has been extolling Abingdon's virtues for years, naming it one of the "20 Most Charming Tiny Towns in the South," and Travel + Leisure, which only this year seems to have discovered it. (I guess they have been too occupied checking out Algeria and the Azores.)

I recently spent four delightful days in Abingdon, and I can vouch for all the superlatives. Let's start with the arts scene.

Mountain folk are a creative lot, and in Abingdon they have the perfect venue for showcasing their work. The Southwest Virginia Cultural Center and Marketplace has art in a variety of mediums. Clay, fiber, wood, glass, metal, mixed media, fashion, jewelry, quilting and stained glass are all on display here.

The center offers more than just art you can look at; it also offers art you can listen to. Abingdon is a stop on the Crooked Road music trail, and the sounds of Appalachia can be heard on the center's stage every Thursday night, as well as on random other nights throughout the year.

Stop in for an informal concert, and you just might hear this generation's Patsy Cline, Carter

Family or Statler Brothers — all Virginia natives.

Now that you are in an artistic frame of mind, visit with the working artists in their studios at the Arts Depot, a creative hub occupying a restored 1870s railroad depot. Then head over to the William King Museum of Art, where five galleries (three with rotating exhibits) display both historical and contemporary Appalachian art.

For a different kind of art, check out the town's robust dining scene. With 34 independently owned restaurants, Abingdon has more eateries per capita than New York, New Orleans and San Francisco.

It's not just quantity; it's quality. USA Today named Abingdon one of the South's "10 Best Small Town Food Scenes," so you can't go wrong choosing a spot for every meal.

For breakfast, the Girl & the Raven, with its Southern plates, made-from-scratch pastries and small-batch coffee, shouldn't be missed. If I could suggest only one thing on the menu, it would be the fluffy Bluegrass Biscuit (scrambled eggs and shredded cheddar on the house-made biscuit).

Pop in for lunch at Jack's 128 Pecan, loved by locals and visitors for its Southern-inspired dishes (a good example is the Lowcountry: chicken, sausage, peppers, onions, Cajun cream and penne pasta). But don't eat too much, as dinner awaits.

One dinner choice should be Rain Restaurant, where elevated dining and casual comfort come together seamlessly.

You may have a hard time deciding between the butternut squash soup and fried green tomato with green tomato chutney as an appetizer (I did), but I had no trouble settling on the spice-crusted Scottish salmon with pineapple-rum glaze for an entrée.

If you're looking for something a bit different, opt for a progressive tasting at the Abingdon Commons, which features independent outlets such as Delta Blues BBQ, Semolina Neapolitan Pizzeria, Tin Roof Kitchen and the Pakalachian, a unique concept that blends the flavor profiles of the husband and wife owners' culinary backgrounds (he's from Pakistan and she's from Appalachia).

Wherever else you go, an evening at the Tavern is a must. Built in 1779, it was originally an inn used by distinguished stagecoach passengers such as Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay and King Louis Philippe I of France.

Have a drink at the Tavern's bar — the oldest in Virginia — and then order dinner by the fireplace (perhaps one of the Tavern's signature dishes, such as Culver duck breasts or Tavern trout).

The Tavern is an ideal choice before a night at Abingdon's Barter Theatre, which no visitor should even think about missing. This Tony Award-winning theater bills itself as America's longest-running professional theater.

When it opened in 1933 during the Great Depression, it was for the purpose of introducing hungry actors to culture-deprived farmers who could pay for their

In honor of its humble beginnings, the theater continues the tradition one day a year when nonperishable goods serve as the price of admission.

The Barter Theatre has been the springboard for the careers of such actors as Ernest Borgnine, Patricia Neal, Ned Beatty and, most famously, Gregory Peck, who it's said knocked on neighborhood doors to ask for props to use in a production.

Across the street from the Barter is another legendary institution: the Martha Washington Inn & Spa, affectionately known as “the Martha.”

Neither George nor Martha ever slept here, as it wasn't built until 1832, but several presidents (Harry S. Truman, Jimmy Carter) and first ladies (Eleanor Roosevelt, Lady Bird Johnson) did.

The 63-room inn has a signature restaurant, Sisters, along with a full-service spa, beautiful grounds and an intimate library. However, if you are like me, your favorite spot will probably be the front porch (the length of a New York City block), where you can sink into a rocking chair with your complimentary evening glass of port and enjoy a symphony of soothing night sounds.

Other stops well worth your time include the Abingdon Muster Grounds, where Virginia patriots gathered before a pivotal Revolutionary War battle in 1780 (the Keller Interpretive Center has exhibits highlighting Southwest Virginia's role in the Revolutionary War), and the portion of the 34-mile multiuse Virginia Creeper Trail on the site of a former railway.

I packed a lot into four days, but I still didn't get to visit the area wineries or do more than casually browse first-rate antique shops such as Holston Mountain Artisans, which features the work of more than 100 artists, or try a few more of those independent restaurants.

Which tells me just one thing: Abingdon hasn't seen the last of me.

Why you might want to think twice before walking barefoot on a hotel carpet

Carpet tends to trap germs, according to scientists, despite efforts by hotel housekeeping staff to keep it clean.
ISTOCK

BY ANDREA SACHS

After 34 years of swiping dirty surfaces, a hotel inspector with AAA is unfazed by the results of her white-glove test. A white-stockings challenge, however, shocked her.

While crawling around the floor of a hotel room, her tights turned a disturbing shade of ick.

"I kept getting on my knees to look under the bed and under things, and at the end of the inspection I had brown circles on my white pantyhose," said the Virginia-based inspector, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because her job requires that she remain incognito.

TV remotes and light switches regularly appear on lists of the germiest spots in hotel rooms. Carpets, for some inexplicable reason, often get away clean.

The truth, however, will make your plantar skin crawl: Hotel carpeting is a germ trap.

“Carpet and rugs can act as a reservoir for shoe dust, dirt, pollen, mold spores, pesticides and other materials that originated from outside,” said Primrose Freestone, an associate professor in clinical microbiology at the University of Leicester in England.

Harboring foreign particles is only the half of it. Everyday activities — stretching, crawling, walking, dancing, vacuuming — can stir up the microorganisms embedded in the carpet and release them onto your bare feet or clothing, or into the air.

The microbes can be harmless or a health risk, but, for the gross factor alone, guests might want to avoid skin-to-carpet contact.

“You don’t 100 percent know if it’s clean,” said the hotel inspector, who always swaps her street shoes for her “house slippers” whenever she steps inside a hotel room.

Hotel carpeting is teeming with life

For his research on hotels and hygiene, Charles P. Gerba, a professor of virology at the University of Arizona, has discovered life in carpeting.

Gerba said hotel carpets are often flecked with food debris, dead skin cells and dust that attract mites, bacteria, mold and other microorganisms.

“Carpets are pretty germy,” said Gerba, who never walks barefoot in hotel rooms or hallways.

Guests' in-room habits, such as eating takeout, brushing their hair or scratching an itch, contribute to the carpet litter. Shoes also drag in an array of vile material, including fecal matter picked up from places where dogs and humans do their business, such as sidewalks, parks and public bathrooms. Guests will disperse the excrement and other organic bits on their journey from lobby to hallway to room.

Though many such microbes are benign, a number of scientific studies, including one helmed by Gerba, have discovered potentially dangerous pathogens stuck to shoe bottoms. For instance, the reports have detected methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, a strain of staph bacteria that can cause skin bumps or boils; Escherichia coli, commonly known as E. coli, which can lead to gastrointestinal issues such as stomach cramps and diarrhea; and Clostridioides difficile (C. diff), which can trigger inflammation of the colon.

Sick guests can also contaminate carpets. Gerba cited a norovirus outbreak possibly spread by hotel carpeting. An infected guest threw up on the carpet. Housekeeping vacuumed the bodily fluids, but instead of destroying the virus, the cleaners ended up disseminating it.

"They re-vacuumed with the same vacuum a few days later, and it apparently caused another outbreak," Gerba said.

And if that doesn't keep you up at night in your hotel room, this might: Bedbugs may use the carpet as a highway or rest stop to their final destination: you.

Keep the kids off the carpet

For healthy travelers, medical experts say the risk of falling ill from hotel carpeting is low. But people with weaker immune systems or respiratory issues could be susceptible.

"The airborne debris from walked-on under-cleaned carpets can trigger asthma exacerbations, and for asthmatics the American Lung Association recommends against staying in rooms with carpets in favor of easier-to-clean and less allergen-or pollutant-trapping hard flooring," Freestone said.

S. Wesley Long, medical director of diagnostic microbiology at Houston Methodist Hospital, said children could also be vulnerable because they often play on the floor and put their hands and feet in their mouths, transferring the bacteria and pathogens into their systems. In addition, travelers hobbled by popped blisters or other scrapes should not expose their open sores to hotel carpeting.

"If you have a wound on your foot, you don't want to be running around on carpet because your native immunity is broken down, and you have an increased risk of infection," Long said.

For everyone else, hotel carpeting ranks low on the most common ways to contract a bug — far below exposure to a sick individual, poor hand hygiene and contaminated water. However, Long still advises against picnicking on the hotel carpet.

"As long as we keep the stuff on the floor away from our mouths," he said, "that goes a long way toward preventing illness."

Vacuuming doesn't clean

The solution seems easy: Wipe your shoes before entering your hotel room and ensure that housekeeping vacuums daily.

But that's not enough.

For starters, wiping your shoes on a mat won't remove the minute particles. Deeper cleaning is required. In Gerba's study, his team determined that washing your shoes (Rockports, in this scenario) in a 12-minute cold cycle using Tide detergent and air-drying for 24 hours reduced the number of bacteria on the shoe's exterior by 99 percent.

However, tracking down a laundromat is not a good use of vacation time, and taking your primary pair of travel shoes out of commission for a day isn't realistic. A less onerous option is to disinfect your shoes with an antibacterial wipe or to not wear your shoes inside the room.

Standard vacuuming, meanwhile, isn't sucking up the detritus ground into the carpeting. To really get the gunk out, the hotel needs to steam clean.

"The challenge is guests are hard on their rooms," said Lori Mukoyama, a principal and global hospitality leader at Gensler, a global architecture, design and planning firm, "and there is not enough time to do these deep cleans."

The vacuums can also become repositories — and disseminators — of pathogens and germs. Gerba said salmonella and E. coli can cling to the brushes and bags. If the accessories are not disinfected or changed regularly, they can spray fecal matter and other particles throughout the hotel.

In a study published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, Gerba and his colleagues noted that “environmental surfaces can act as both reservoirs and sources of airborne pathogens due to reaerosolization during routine activities such as walking or vacuuming.”

Gerba's advice: If housekeeping is vacuuming, don't follow in their wake.

Better flooring options

Though carpets are undisputed germ sponges, the flooring style isn't going the way of the cigarette vending machine or pay phone in the hotel lobby. The textile still serves a purpose, such as muting noise made by guests.

“Carpet helps absorb sound, reduce footfall noise and create a quieter guest experience in high-traffic areas,” said Valentina Castellon, principal and hospitality interior design leader with DLR Group, an international design firm. “While advances in underlayments and acoustic assemblies have improved the performance of hard-surface flooring, carpet continues to play an important role where noise control is essential.”

Since the covid-19 pandemic, when hygiene awareness was at an all-time high, hotel designers say the trend toward hard materials has accelerated. Castellon said luxury vinyl tile, porcelain tile and engineered wood are simpler to clean, more resistant to staining and less likely to retain odors. For a homey touch, hotels may sprinkle some area rugs around the room, which are also germ traps but easier than carpeting to clean and replace—or, if you're a guest, walk around or jump over.

Travelers averse to carpeting can seek out hotels that incorporate these less-fraught materials and decorative styles. Mukoyama said when she visits New York City, she stays in a capsule room in a micro-hotel, which uses luxury vinyl tiles. Many high-end hotels, such as Four Seasons, feature wood flooring with accent rugs.

Meanwhile, for properties with carpeting, Mukoyama said she will pull out her secret weapon: black socks.

“I don’t wear white ones, because I honestly don’t want to know,” she said.

Stretching roughly 750 miles, Europe's highest mountain range, the Alps, arcs across eight countries, from the Mediterranean coast of France to Austria and Slovenia. Along the way, Alpine cultures and landscapes offer a fascinating variety of experiences.

France may be home to the tallest peak in the Alps (Mont Blanc), but it's Switzerland's Alps that are the high point for most travelers. The majestic snowcapped summits, waterfall-laced cliffs and picturesque lakes are accompanied by hiker-friendly amenities — well-marked trails, restful mountain huts, and a system of lifts and trains that lets you effortlessly ascend to dramatic mountaintops. As famously great engineers, as well as ardent nature lovers, the Swiss know how to make Alpine thrills accessible to almost everyone, regardless of stamina or skills.

My favorite region in the Swiss Alps is the Bernese Oberland, south of Bern — specifically the Lauterbrunnen Valley, which is crowned by a trio of formidable peaks: the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. A good, easy hike with drop-dead views of these peaks (in good weather) is between Männlichen and Kleine Scheidegg, two spots along the high ridge that separates the Lauterbrunnen Valley from the Grindelwald Valley. To do this hike in a reasonable amount of time and with minimal exertion, I recommend taking the narrow-gauge train from the valley base of Lauterbrunnen up to the town of Wengen, then a cable car to Männlichen. From there, the trail winds gently downhill past staggering mountain views, contented cows, a perfect picnic spot and a fine restaurant.

You'll get a loftier view of those same mountains from the 10,000-foot Schilthorn summit, across the valley from Wengen. The Schilthornbahn cable car takes riders up effortlessly in three stages. At about \$150 round-trip, it's a pricey ride, but when you're surrounded by cut-glass peaks and breathing fresh mountain air, it feels like one of Europe's great deals. Whether filled with skiers in winter or hikers in summer, there's a happy energy as you ascend in that glass-and-steel bubble of mountain joy.

The Swiss love to cap their peaks with restaurants, and one of the most popular is the Schilthorn's revolving Piz Gloria. Before opening to the public in 1969, it was the setting of key scenes in the James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." Today, there's a fun 007 exhibit ... and even Bond-themed toilets.

While gravelly trails lead down from the Schilthorn, casual hikers prefer taking the cable car down to Birg station. The station, while a fine springboard for hikes, is also entertaining, offering the Skyline Walk, a viewing platform with a transparent floor that juts out over the cliff edge, and the Thrill Walk, a fun, 200-yard course with a steel-and-glass-bottom floor, rope bridge and tunnel. From Birg, you can walk down to the hamlet of Gimmelwald (a great place to enjoy a post-hike beer — or better, spend the night).

The French Alps are no less dramatic — and come at less of a premium to travelers (as Switzerland is Europe's most expensive country). My pick of the region is the range that

hovers just above the resort town of Chamonix — near the junction of France, Switzerland and Italy.

In Chamonix, if the weather's right, there's nothing better than riding the cable car to the Aiguille du Midi, the 12,600-foot rock “needle of midday” high above town and in the shadow of Mont Blanc’s summit. Up here, the air is noticeably thinner, and even when the sun’s out, it’s bitterly cold in July. From here, a cute red gondola — Europe’s highest lift — glides slowly along a three-mile cable, dangling silently over the Géant Glacier to Helbronner Point, at the border of Italy.

Above Chamonix Valley, the Grand Balcon Sud hike is lovely. Being a hiking lightweight, I prefer a trail where I can ride a lift to one end, enjoy high-mountain kicks all along (with minimal altitude gain), and then ride the lift down from the other end. This three-hour walk comes with unforgettable views of Mont Blanc, glaciers and wildflowers — and a small fraction of the Aiguille du Midi crowds.

Much farther east, near the border with Austria, Italy's Dolomites offer an entirely different Alpine flavor. Dolomite

— a sedimentary rock similar to limestone — gives these mountains their distinctive shape and color. This region — part of Italy only since World War I — is also unique for its Austrian roots, which still survive here, from the food to the bilingual locals, who speak both German and Italian.

The city of Bolzano (“Bozen” in German) — blending Austrian tidiness with an Italian love for life — is the gateway to the Dolomites. But I prefer settling in higher up, in Kastelruth (“Castelrotto” to Italian speakers) — right in the midst of mountain splendor but without that empty-ski-resort-in-the-summer feeling.

Both towns provide easy access to the Seiser Alm ("Alpe di Siusi" in Italian), Europe's largest Alpine meadow. Undulating rather than flat, broken by rushing streams and dappled with shapely evergreens, it is a well-run national park. It boasts shuttle buses, well-kept huts, trails and lifts, along with spectacular views of the Dolomite peaks and lots of cows — which produce 2 million gallons of milk annually. Whatever level of physical exertion you prefer, there's a hike (or lawn chair) here perfectly suited for your Alp-viewing pleasure.

No matter which corner you're exploring — Switzerland, France, Italy or beyond — the Alps provide a symphony of experiences that can endlessly delight lovers of culture, history and nature. They certainly have for me.

How to Play

The rules of Samurai Sudoku are the same as in the popular Sudoku puzzles that appear in the daily comics section.

Sudoku puzzles that appear in the daily comics section. As with standard Sudoku, the Samurai version requires no math, just logic, reasoning ... and an iron will. The goal is to fill in each column, row and 3X3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles.

A piece of advice to get you started: Don't focus completely on one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another. What's important to understand is this: Each Samurai puzzle is ONE puzzle, not five separate Sudoku puzzles that just overlap each other. Occasionally people claim that, for example, the "bottom right" 9X9 puzzle had more than one solution. Well, yes it may, but the entire puzzle can be solved in only one way. Never resort to guessing!

KIDSPOST

POWERED BY What on Earth! Magazine whatonearthmag.com

Take an up-close look at this amazing feat of ancient Chinese craftsmanship, buried underground for more than 2,000 years.

an emperor

In 1974, archaeologists in China began a huge excavation project to unearth an estimated 8,000 life-size terracotta (clay) figures buried near the tomb of a powerful ruler called Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng was famous for conquering rival kingdoms and uniting much of what is now China under his rule in 221 B.C.E. He called himself Qin Shi Huang, which means “First Sovereign Emperor”. The figures the

Ying Zheng united much of what is now China into one country.

archaeologists were uncovering were the Terracotta Army, which had been made to guard Ying Zheng in the afterlife. It was an enormous project, requiring thousands of workers and decades of work. Each figure was assembled from individually crafted clay parts, then fired and placed with extraordinary precision. Let's take a look at some of the most impressive features of this remarkable feat of ancient craftsmanship.

WALLS Partition walls inside the pits were built to bear the weight of the earth above and prevent the soldiers from being crushed. They also divided the soldiers into different army units.

ANIMALS More than 600 clay horses stand with the army. Elsewhere in the tomb complex, archaeologists have found sculpted animals as well as the bones of animals that were sacrificed.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Terracotta Army was discovered by local farmers while digging a well in 1974.

PAINT The figures were modeled by hand and painted in bright colors. Most have now lost their color, but traces can still be seen on some of them.

CIVILIANS Most of the figures are soldiers, but some were made to represent officials, performers and acrobats — there to serve and entertain emperor Qin Shi Huang in the afterlife.

SOLDIERS Most of the army is made up of soldiers, including archers, charioteers, infantry and a rear guard. They carried bows, spears and swords — some of which were still sharp when the army was discovered!

FACES The discovery of at least eight different face shapes suggests that several basic face molds were used. Artists then added individual details so that no two faces look exactly alike.

THE TERRACOTTA ARMY

Experts think Qin Shi Huang employed as many as 700,000 workers across 40 years to create his vast tomb complex, including the Terracotta Army, which he believed would protect him in the afterlife. It was a lot to build — and also a lot to uncover! Archaeologists are still excavating the site today. To get a sense of the
