In writing her memoir,former first lady MichelleObama said she wanted toshare the full picture of herlife because she wanted herreaders and followers to seehow the highs and lowsshaped her character andset her on her path.

So she didn’t let herhusband read the draft of

what would become “Be-coming,” her first memoir;she didn’t let friends peak atthe chapters until it wasdone. What emerged was anew image of herself.

“I’m finally claiming, mystory is the quintessentialAmerican story,” she told asold-out audience of 14,000people at the United Centeron Tuesday night. “Yes, I’mblack. Yes, I’m a woman andyes, I grew up working classand my parents didn’t get tofinish college.

“How dare someone tellme I don’t love my country.”

Long before the former

first lady took the stage forthe first stop on her highlyanticipated book tour, thecrowds had gathered.

They squeezed inside57th Street Books in HydePark late Monday to pick uptheir pre-ordered copies atmidnight. They gatheredbefore sunrise Tuesday for apep rally-style taping whereObama sat in conversationfor part of the time with herolder brother, Craig Rob-inson, at the South ShoreCultural Center.

They lined the sidewalkon South Woodlawn Ave-nue in the freezing cold on

Tuesday for a chance tohave their books signed atSeminary Co-op.

By Tuesday night, theUnited Center was electric.Outside, people posed forphotos in front of the bill-boards, bundled up in theircoats, some of them clutch-ing their books. One manwore his Obama coat —bright orange with Obamawritten in large white let-ters across the front. Whena montage of family photosflashed on the screen, thecrowd started clapping and

Eight days after winningre-election as state comp-troller, Susana Mendozawas set to announce her bidfor Chicago mayor onWednesday to help shape“the next generation, notjust the next four years.”

Mendoza’s quick cam-paign turnabout had beenexpected for weeks andalready has led to attacksfrom opponents that she is apolitical opportunist moreinterested in climbing theelectoral ladder than serv-ing Chicagoans. In rollingout her run for mayor,however, the 46-year-oldformer state lawmaker andonetime Chicago city clerkframed her ambitions asabout moving the city into anew era.

“Chicago is so manythings: gritty, hardworking,welcoming. It’s time tomake this city work foreveryone,” Mendoza says inan announcement videothat was scheduled to bereleased publicly Wednes-day morning. “This electionis about the future of Chi-cago, and I believe in thatfuture.”

PARADISE, Calif. —The number of deathsfrom California’s worstwildfire rose to 48 Tues-

day as authorities and fam-ily members mounted des-perate searches for thehundreds still missing.

The Camp Fire hasscorched 130,000 acressince Thursday, rippingthrough mountain townsin Butte County. Morethan 8,800 structures,mostly homes in Paradise,were turned to rubble asthe blaze charred the re-

gion.The death toll from the

fire jumped Monday whenofficials said they recov-ered the remains of 13people as teams continuedto search the burned-outrubble of thousands of losthomes. The remains of 10people were located inParadise, and three werefound in the Concow area.

Efforts were underway

to bring in mobilemorgues, cadaver dogs, arapid DNA analysis systemfor identifying victims, andan additional 150 searchand rescue personnel ontop of 13 teams alreadylooking for remains — agrim indication the deathtoll could rise.

As of midday Tuesday,Butte County Sheriff KoryHonea’s office had identi-

fied only a few of the dead. James Wiley said sher-

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. —The Abraham LincolnPresidential Library andMuseum’s foundation inSpringfield asked Illinoislawmakers Tuesday forhelp paying off millions ofdollars in debt to avoidhaving to sell parts of acollection that includesprized Honest Abe arti-facts.

At an Illinois Househearing less than a month

from the state’s 200thbirthday party, lawmakersquestioned the museumfoundation about its fi-nances, including the $23million it borrowed for the2007 purchase of a troveof Lincoln and non-Lin-coln artifacts.

The Taper collection, asit’s called, included a bea-ver fur stovepipe hat thatofficials said Lincolnwore, though recent sto-ries by WBEZ-FM 91.5have raised questionsabout its authenticity. Anofficial said further re-search into the hat’s prov-enance is “ongoing.”

Between Sunday andTuesday, the descriptionMidlothian police gave forthe man who was fatallyshot by one of their officersover the weekend evolvedfrom a “subject with a gun”to “a brave man who wasdoing his best to end anactive shooter situation.”

Though police stoppedshort of an outright apolo-gy, the statement postedfrom Midlothian Chief

Daniel Delaney at middayTuesday said the depart-ment was “completely sad-dened by this tragic inci-dent” and offered “heart-felt condolences” to theman’s friends and family.

Delaney explained thatwhen the earlier statementwas issued, investigatorswere still figuring out whathappened and sorting out“conflicting reports” aboutthe man who was killed.

The latter comments,though, seemingly didn’tstop a growing hue and cryover the shooting by anunnamed police officer ofJemel Roberson, a 26-year-old man who was workingas a security guard at Man-

ny’s Blue Room Lounge inRobbins. Police had re-sponded to reports of gun-fire at the bar early Sundayand, according to a lawyerretained by his family,Roberson was subduing a

suspect and was wearing ahat with “security” printedon it when he was killed.

I’d planned to spend the day beg-ging editors for the hundreds of dol-lars it would cost for a ticket to seepolitical rock star Michelle Obamalaunch her book (and presidentialcampaign) with Oprah Winfrey, andthen join the rest of the media inpro-Michelle hysteria.

I’d also planned to imagine HillaryClinton, alone in her afternoonkitchen, reaching for another box ofcheap chardonnay, muttering bitterly:“Michelle thinks she’s Beyonce?(Bleep) that. I’m the boss … Who’s theboss who’s the boss who’s the boss?”

But then Johnny Rocco had to buttin and ruin things.

With angry charges of vote fraudand racism and incompetence in thebotched Florida recounts of closeraces for governor and the U.S. Sen-ate, it’s time to consult Johnny Rocco.

He’s a political expert, see? Withroots along the Chicago Way but wisein the way of Florida vote recountstoo, see?

“I take a nobody, see? Teach ’emwhat to say, get his name in the pa-pers,” Rocco says while getting astraight razor shave down in KeyLargo. “Yeah, pay for his campaignexpenses. Dish out a lot of groceries,and coal, get my boys to bring thevoters out, and then count the votesover and over until they added upright and he was elected … yeah.”

Yeah, Johnny. Yeah.Rocco was loosely based on a Chi-

cago gangster named Al. Yeah, that Al.It was long ago, hence Rocco’s refer-ences to coal and “the papers.” Ed-ward G. Robinson, with his never-ending use of “see?” played JohnnyRocco in the old movie “Key Largo,”with Humphrey Bogart and LaurenBacall.

But in Florida this week, just as itwas 18 years ago with hanging chadsand Chicago’s Bill Daley trying tostiffen Al Gore’s limp spine, it’sJohnny Rocco time.

Why?Because thousands of Democratic

votes were miraculously found inFlorida’s heavily Democratic BrowardCounty after polls were closed onElection Day.

The Republican candidate for Sen-

ate, Florida Gov. Rick Scott, had thevotes to declare victory. On Tuesdaynight. And Republican Ron DeSantis,the candidate for governor, had thevotes to win. On Tuesday night.

But after Wednesday morning, andwith those thousands of votes comingin, things changed.

And Brenda Snipes, the Browardelection supervisor with a soddenhistory of incompetence and repeatedviolation of election law, was at itagain.

Ballots were found in abandonedboxes and other mysterious places.And ballots that were supposed to bekept separate from other ballots weremysteriously mixed together. Electiondeadlines for reporting votes wereignored. And those who criticizedSnipes for her incompetence werebranded, of course, as racists.

Is it fraud, as President DonaldTrump and other Republicans say?Members of the Democratic MediaComplex that loathes Trump insistthere is “no evidence” of fraud, butthat smacks of political complicity.

I suppose that “no evidence”means there are no videos of FloridaDemocrats trading extra Jell-O toseniors for Democratic votes.

Snipes didn’t know or wouldn’t sayhow many ballots she had when pollsclosed. Sixty-five other election su-pervisors in Florida were able tocomplete their tasks on time.

“Saying her office ‘was not as slowas last year,’ offers little consolation,”said the Fort Lauderdale-based SunSentinel in an editorial calling forSnipe’s ouster.

And those mysteriously discoveredboxes of ballots and all the rest?Those don’t appear to be political sinsof commission as much as they’repolitical sins of omission. Mistakeshappen, see?

Johnny Rocco would tell you asmuch, after giving you a good slap inthe mouth. What do you need, a roadmap?

Is it just simple stupid racism thatdrives the criticism of Snipes? Therace card is the Democratic left’sdefault position, always.

MSNBC’s habitual liar and leftycheerleader Joy Reid — who makes

CNN buffoon Jim Acosta soundsomewhat reasonable — proved thisby playing the race card clumsily butwith gusto.

“Here is the way they are treatingBrenda Snipes, who is the longtimeelection supervisor there, who by theway is an older black woman in theDeep South,” said Reid.

Ah, older black woman, DeepSouth. I see where you’re going, Joy,except that racially diverse and heavi-ly Democratic Broward County isn’texactly the “Deep South” of yourwishful knee-jerk mythology.

Snipes also piped up, and angrilytoo, bothered as she was by increasingcalls for her resignation.

“It’s sort of hard to rule out race,but I won’t say, ‘Oh, I’m a black wom-an and that’s why.’ I’m not sayingthat,” Snipes said.

Oh, you’re not saying that? Well, itsure seems like you’re saying exactlythat, see?

People without wits reflexivelyreach for the race card, even when itdoesn’t apply, because it has workedtime and again. Perhaps it’s time tostop.

Broward County is “not just themost troubled elections office in thestate, it’s the most troubled electionsoffice in the nation,” Florida Republi-can Sen. Marco Rubio told Poli-tico.com.

Broward County’s history of elec-tion incompetence and failure is well-known, from missed election dead-lines and shoddy reporting to ballotsdestroyed when the law mandatesthey should have been saved.

Democrats are being accused, butRepublicans bear the burden here too,since former Gov. Jeb Bush, a Repub-lican, appointed Snipes. And she waskept on by Scott, even after she re-peatedly proved her incompetence.

Fire is savage.It respects nothing. Not bound-

aries or history, not political per-suasion or social class. Greedilyand fast, it takes what it wants.

A home. A pet. A forest. Acommunity. Lives.

For the past few days, fromdistant parts of the country, we’vewatched the wildfires in Cali-fornia chase people into exile.Through the safety of our screens,we’ve witnessed the ashes ofhomes, the carcasses of cars, lonedeer wandering in the charredrubble.

We’ve seen smoke rolling like atsunami over the beach in Malibu,flames licking the edge of a free-way. In the vicinity of the North-ern California town of Paradise, atleast 48 people have died.

These ferocious wildfires aredifferent from the fire we see inand around Chicago, but even so,they may feel personal. You mayknow people who are there. Ifyou don’t, the sight may trigger amemory of a fire in your own life.

“Because of my own circum-stances, the California fires havebeen on my mind a lot,” saysElisabeth Brecher, who lost herPark Forest home to fire thisspring.

One night in May, she, herhusband and their godson,alerted by their barking dogs,woke up in a burning house. Theyescaped through the bedroomwindows wearing their pajamas.

The house and most of theirbelongings were destroyed. Theirfour cats and their white terrier,Daisy, died.

“The things you have lost dawnon you in bits,” Brecher says. “Allof a sudden you will think of afavorite book, or souvenir, or hat,or something else sentimental,and realize it doesn’t exist any-more. This will surprise you.”

Gone were her marriage cer-tificate, her driver’s license, thecamera equipment she dependson in her work as a photographer.She and her husband, Alan Shnay,have gotten used to second-hand

clothes.“As the season changes from

summer to winter, and it’s time tounpack jackets and sweaters andboots, we realize we don’t havethose things,” she says. “I wasthinking about a pair of water-proof warm boots that were trulyhandy, then realizing they’regone. In the cold months I like tokeep a pot simmering on the stovewith apple and orange peels andcinnamon sticks. Just realizedthis week that there’s no simmerpot anymore.”

The loss is more than material.“I think one of the toughest

things to deal with is a certain‘fire PTSD’ that we have,” shesays, “Fireplaces don’t seem cozyanymore. I drove past someoneburning leaves outdoors, andexperienced momentary anxietyfrom the sight of the smoke.”

The memory of a fire may last alifetime.

Ed Leighton remembers thefire that took his second-floorChicago apartment in August1985.

His two young children werethere with a teenage babysitterwhen a tortilla left on a burnerburst into flames. A Chicagopolice sergeant rescued the kids,but everything else was lost. Tothis day, Leighton keeps kitchenitems donated to the family intheir time of need, a reminder ofwhat was taken and what wasgiven.

“I still tear up when I thinkabout this 33 years later,” he says.

Kate Wasserman, who lives inWheaton, remembers the firethat destroyed the house she livedin with her mother nearly 20years ago, when she was 19.

“Even now, when I see a fireengine go by with its lights andsiren going, I tense up and spenda moment convincing myself thatit isn’t going to my house,” shesays.

What hits her hardest aboutthe California fires isn’t the fire.It’s imagining the aftermath.

“I know the pain those peoplewill feel when they walk throughthe remains of their homes andcome to terms with the extent oftheir losses,” she says.

People who have survived firesoften emphasize two things inaddition to the loss: the courageof the firefighters and the kind-ness of other people.

“One of the most significantparts of (my) recovery was seeinghow quickly and completelyfriends — and strangers — ralliedto help us,” Wasserman says. “To

this day, whenever I hear ofsomeone losing their house tofire, I donate whatever I can tohelp them get their lives back asquickly as possible.”

Elisabeth Brecher and herhusband are living in a rentalapartment in Matteson whilethey reassemble their lives. Shecheers herself up rememberingall the people who have helpedher, and wishes the same for thepeople of California.

“We have a new and over-whelming gratitude for first re-sponders,” she says. “In my neigh-borhood, as in many, there’s asilent parade one evening a yearto honor fallen firefighters. Thisyear we attended, standing on thecorner and weeping like babies.”

Wildfires in Calif. stir memories of fires close to home

AL SEIB/LOS ANGELES TIMES

For more than a year, PuertoRico has worked through thechallenging process of recoveringand rebuilding after the landfall ofHurricane Maria.

Images of the lingering devas-tation, of crumbling homes,wind-battered metal roofs andfelled, splintering trees and otherdebris are familiar to most. Butnoteworthy progress is beingmade on the island, said RedCross representatives, speakingat a Tuesday event in the Hum-boldt Park neighborhood held toupdate Chicago-area partnersand others on the island’s prog-ress since the September 2017

storm.“There is still a lot of work to be

done,” Ana Montero, chief execu-tive of the Red Cross’ Puerto Ricorecovery effort, told the Tribunein an interview Tuesday.

But the organization, whichraised more than $71 million infunds and goods, has a plan ofaction, said Montero, who origi-nally is from Puerto Rico. Herhometown, Utuado, saw signifi-cant damage during the storm.Some members of her family losteverything, and one of her unclesdied, she said.

“To see my family’s communitydestroyed — it was difficult,” shesaid of her first trip to the islandafter Maria hit.

Here she paused, collecting

herself. “I’m trying not to get emotional

right now,” she added, later re-counting further details of hertime on the island, includingtrying to find a family member noone had been in touch with.Mudslides and lacking cell servicecreated challenges.

In an effort to reduce or elimi-nate some of these roadblocks,Red Cross officials have just begunthe “full implementation” of therecovery program, a multiprongedstrategy that will focus on fortify-ing four “pillars”: energy, includ-ing solar power and generators;access to clean water; health andmental health; and building com-munity and individual resiliency,which includes giving away “mi-

crogrants” to help farmers.It’s designed in part to help the

island better face similar catastro-phes in the future.

“There’s always the threat ofanother storm,” Montero said.

That’s why the Red Cross hasestablished partnerships withChicago-area groups, includingthe Puerto Rican Agenda of Chi-cago.

Roughly 2,100 people fromPuerto Rico have been served hereby Chicago’s Hurricane ResourceCenter, said Cristina Pacione-Zayas, co-chair of the PuertoRican Agenda. Representativesfrom other organizations and anumber of elected officials alsoattended Tuesday’s event. RetiredChicago Fire Commissioner Jose

Santiago led a delegation of morethan 20 firefighters to Puerto Ricolast year.

“Let me tell you something:Chicago has come through forPuerto Rico,” Montero said.

Pacione-Zayas noted that Chi-cago Mayor Rahm Emanuel alsojoined advocates on the island inMarch, the first time a Chicagomayor traveled to Puerto Rico, shesaid.

Representatives of the variousgroups said they hope the effortsmade will provide a template forfuture disaster response work,whether in Puerto Rico or else-where.

Red Cross updates area partners on Puerto Rico recovery effortsBy Ese OlumhenseChicago Tribune

CHICAGOLAND

Getting into Northwestern Uni-versity or the University of Chi-cago has never been easy. But thesedays, it’s even harder — and thedegree of difficulty has increasedmore at these two local schoolsthan anywhere in the country,according to a new report.

High school seniors hoping tohead to the nation’s top uni-versities next fall face increasingcompetition. Admission rates haveplummeted across the countrysince 2006, according to a Busi-nessStudent.com study.

Of the schools analyzed, theUniversity of Chicago and North-western have seen the most signifi-cant drops in acceptance ratessince 2006, reporting 81 percentand 74 percent decreases, respec-tively.

According to the study, the U. ofC. admitted 38 percent of appli-

cants in 2006; last year it acceptedjust 7 percent. Similarly, North-western’s admissions rate wentfrom 32 percent to 8 percent overthe 12-year period.

Part of the reason for the trendis the sheer increase in applica-tions. More students are applying,and those who do are applying tomore colleges.

Joey Cipriano, 18, applied to 16schools last fall. Now a freshman atthe University of Chicago, he saidthe college applications processwas a bit daunting — so he figuredthe more options he had, thebetter.

What’s driving the plummetingacceptance rates at U. of C. andNorthwestern in particular? Offi-cials at both schools think theirreputations have grown nationally— even internationally — in recentyears.

Michael Mills started workingat Northwestern, where he over-sees the school’s undergraduate

admissions and financial aid, in2005. At the time, the universitywas most highly regarded in theMidwest and a couple of cities onthe coast, he said.

“But there was so much oppor-tunity to raise visibility in otherparts of the country,” Mills said.

And students expect more thanjust a degree from their collegesthese days. Cipriano said he wasdrawn to U. of C. for its studentculture. “It’s not just about gettinggood grades,” he said. “People areinterested in what they’re learn-ing, and they want to talk aboutwhat they’re learning.”

The University of Chicagojumped at the chance to reel instudents like that, said Dean JohnBoyer, who oversees the school’sundergraduate institution. It sentadmissions officers all over thecountry and worked to improvethe student experience by bolster-ing its career services, internshipopportunities, residential life sys-

tem and study abroad programs —all efforts to attract more high-caliber candidates.

Twenty years ago, some out-of-towners would confuse the Uni-versity of Chicago with the Uni-versity of Illinois at Chicago, Boyersaid. That doesn’t happen muchanymore.

“More people know us now,” hesaid.

As applicant pools have gottenbigger, Mills said, the admissionsprocess has become morethoughtful.

“We’re sort of keenly aware thatthese are enormously talentedkids,” he said. “And there’s noshame in getting denied.”

Both universities have hiredmore admissions counselors todeal with the larger volume ofapplications. From the beginningof November to the first of May,staff is busy around the clock, Millssaid. On New Year’s Eve — the lastday students can apply to many

colleges and universities — theyknow better what to expect.

“It’s like watching election re-turns,” he added. “We all log in,and you can see the tsunami ofapplications coming in.”

What’s going to set studentsapart when a university can onlyaccept 1 in 12 students?

“It’s sort of a blend of all theacademic prowess and potentialyou’d want to see, plus all thepersonal traits and characteristicswe’re looking for,” Mills said.

About 4,300 hopefuls applied toNorthwestern before Nov. 1, thedeadline for its early applications.Mills said he expects to see about43,000 applications total this yearbased on last year’s numbers.

“We’ve had years where notmany of the seniors graduatingwould have been admissible asfreshman,” he said. “That’s surreal.”

Getting into Chicago’s top colleges harder than ever, report saysBy Katie GaliotoChicago Tribune

Chicago principals associationPresident Troy LaRaviere hasended his campaign for Chicagomayor, saying he has been unableto collect enough signatures toappear on the ballot.

LaRaviere became the first can-didate to officially declare he wasrunning for mayor, launching hisbid nearly a year ago in November2017. He made the move longbefore Mayor Rahm Emanuelmade the surprise announcementin September that he would drophis bid for a third term.

In a statement released Tues-day afternoon, LaRaviere said hiscampaign couldn’t muster the12,500 petition signatures re-quired to get on the ballot. Hethanked his campaign volunteers,including one who he said col-lected 2,000 signatures.

“Unfortunately, however, it ap-pears we’re going to come upshort,” LaRaviere said.“The responsibility forthis is ultimately myown.”

Mayoral campaignsare required to collect12,500 signatures fromregistered Chicago vot-ers to appear on theballot. Candidates oftenaim to collect three timesthat amount to ensurethey’ll have enough support tostay on the ballot as the validity ofpetition signatures often is chal-lenged by rivals in proceedingsbefore election officials.

Candidates can begin filingpetitions Monday. The final dead-line to do so is Nov. 26.

“With two weeks left in thepetition process, it would requiremore money than we’ve been ableto raise in an entire year. Wewould also require a massiveinflux of organized petitioners,just to give us a shot at reaching asignature threshold that wouldsurvive the aggressive challengeour petitions are going to get frompolitical insiders from the morewell-funded campaigns,” LaR-aviere said. “Then, of course, thereare the legal costs of defendingourselves from that legal chal-lenge. So we will soon begin theprocess of winding down ourcampaign.”

LaRaviere has run a shoestringoperation from the beginning. Hehad trouble establishing a cam-paign organization and raisingmoney. The former principal ofLakeview’s Blaine Elementaryhad managed to raise only about$45,000 — $10,500 of it in loans hemade to his own campaign.

In 2014, LaRaviere began gar-nering attention in political circlesfor his outspoken criticism ofEmanuel for pushing an educa-tion agenda that ignored thevoices of principals and teachers.Then Blaine’s principal, LaR-aviere emerged as a firebrand,frequently delivering emotionallycharged speeches railing againstthe privatization contracts, char-ter schools, insufficient fundingfor special education and metric-based education policies of Eman-uel.

When Cook County Commis-sioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia forcedEmanuel into a runoff in the 2015mayoral election, LaRaviereworked on the campaign.

He also appeared in a campaignad for Vermont U.S. Sen. BernieSanders’ presidential run in whichhe said Chicago had “endured acorrupt political system” and “thechief politician standing in theway of us getting good schools isour mayor.”

In April 2016, the Emanuel-controlled Chicago Public Schoolsremoved him as Blaine principalamid allegations of insubordina-tion for opposing a standardizedtest and ignoring warnings ofengaging in on-the-job “politicalactivity.”

LaRaviere insisted his firingwas “politically motivated,” andthe move drew a rebuke fromSanders, who slammed Emanuelfor having an “unhealthy obses-sion with taking revenge.”

The mayor said he had nothingto do with the decision.

The firing came as LaRavierewas running for president of theChicago Principals & Adminis-trators Association labor group, a

post he would win andstill holds.

In an interview withthe Chicago Tribune ayear ago, LaRaviere saidhe was running for may-or because he was fed upwith the inequalities inChicago. The decision,though, also came with aheavy hint of revenge.

“I beat Rahm withouta runoff,” LaRaviere predictedthen. “I believe that. First election,he’s gone.”

With Emanuel’s popularity onthe wane amid the fallout from thepolice shooting of LaquanMcDonald, others also viewed themayor as vulnerable, and the fieldof challengers swelled to 12 byLabor Day.

By then, better organized cam-paigns with more funding beganto crowd LaRaviere out. Thattrend accelerated after Emanueldropped his re-election campaign,when the field grew to 16 candi-dates. The new candidates in-cluded Cook County Board Presi-dent Toni Preckwinkle, City Hallveteran and 2011 candidate GeryChico and former U.S. CommerceSecretary Bill Daley, the son andbrother of two former Chicagomayors.

State Comptroller Susana Men-doza also announced that shewould be making official herlong-rumored bid for mayor.

So, in the end for LaRaviere,there was not enough support —financially and grassroots — tomake his campaign viable.

He could, however, still emergeas an effective surrogate for one ofthe remaining candidates

“The purpose of my life re-mains the same: to remove obsta-cles to the realization of humanpotential. I have worked on thatpurpose behind the scenes, and onthe public stage,” LaRaviere saidTuesday. “I entered the publicstage out of a sense of duty. I put itall out there, and now I’m lookingforward to leaving that stage.Perhaps duty will call me back to itat some point.”

If you can stand the wintrytemperature outside, theremay be a bit of fall left yet.

But unless you hurry, ifyou’re looking for brilliantlycolored leaves — the red,orange and bright yellow syn-onymous with autumn — youmay soon have more lucklooking down at the groundthan atop tree branches forthe remnants of the season.

You can blame the recentstretch of below-average tem-peratures for setting off aninternal alarm for trees to letthe leaves go, said BoyceTankersley, the director ofliving plant documentation atthe Chicago Botanic Garden.

“The cold weather defi-nitely has something to dowith that,” Tankersley said. “Ibelieve we’re well past peak.”

The weather in Septembercan give the best indication ofthe intensity and length of fallfoliage, Tankersley said. Ifthere were a recipe to follow,it would involve a goodamount of rainfall in Septem-ber to ensure moist soil, plusplenty of sunshine and cooldays. It’s that balance thattriggers trees to stop produc-tion of chlorophyll, which

reveals the true colors ofleaves, turning them fromgreen to the brilliant huesassociated with fall.

Once leaves have changedcolor, though, the length ofthe fall foliage season can beaffected by weather.

“When we get temps as lowas we have, that sends anothersignal, which is, ‘Time’s up,’”Tankersley said. “Whatdoesn’t help at that point ismore rain, or temperatures inthe low 20s, or severe windevents. That allows any leavesthat are hanging on to fall,resulting in the mostly barebranches you see now.”

Meteorologist Ben Deubel-beiss of the National WeatherService said the Chicago areahas been experiencing lower-than-average temperaturessince Nov. 6.

“Even the two days beforethat, actually, we averaged justthree degrees above normal,”Deubelbeiss said. “We’ve beenin a prolonged stretch ofbelow normal. Tuesday we’vegot highs in the mid-20s. Andeven though it won’t be thatextreme, the cold will contin-ue, probably into next week aswell.”

The normal high for thistime of year is around 51degrees, Deubelbeiss said.

But if you really need per-

suading to get out in the coldto appreciate the last of fallcolors, consider that the well-known fall foliage predictionmap, a project maintained bySmokyMountains.com, saysChicago is already “pastpeak.” The site notes thatprediction is not an exactscience but should be seen as atool to help foliage seekersplan trips.

The interactive map allowsthe user to enter a date, and acolor-coded display indicateswhether certain areas of thecountry are “patchy,” “par-tial,” “peak” or “past peak.”

Heather Sherwood, a sen-ior horticulturist also with theChicago Botanic Garden, saidmany of the 2.7 million plantson the the garden’s groundsstill paint a much more vividpicture.

Tankersley, meanwhile,said many of the oaks haveheld onto their leaves andthere are still red and bronzeleaves on many of them.

The peak this year wasaround mid-October, he said,but it isn’t too late to enjoywhat is left of the season in aplace like Chicago, whereeach year can be vastly differ-ent.

Cathy Ficker-Terrillposted a message onlinereversing the commis-sion’s original position. Itsaid the 55,000 voters whowere limited to paper bal-lots would be allowed togo to any early votinglocation beginning Oct. 24— the third day of earlyvoting.

DuPage County Elec-tion Commission Execu-tive Director SuzanneFahnestock at the timesaid people who live inIllinois House District 41had to vote with a paperballot because it was un-known if Democratic can-didate Val Montgomery,who was challenging stateRep. Grant Wehrli, wouldkeep her name on theballot.

Fahnestock said theelection commissionchose to distribute thepaper ballots to only thetwo locations so it could“handle the change a lotfaster and quicker and in amore effective way” ifMontgomery decided towithdraw from the ballot.

The first Monday ofearly voting was the lastday for candidates to with-draw from the ballot.

Montgomery was ineli-gible to be a candidate inthe 41st District becauseshe actually lives in the49th District — an addressmistake made by the elec-tion commission — butwas not required to pullher name from con-tention.

She decided to stay onthe ballot.

By the morning of thesecond day of early voting,more than 2,000 DuPageand Will County residentswho live in Naperville hadcast early ballots. Howev-er, dozens of voters in the41st District were turnedaway from all but twoearly voting locations.

The early voting loca-tion issue was originally aconcern but “because itwas addressed and correc-ted so quickly, it wasn’t ahuge issue,” said Tom Elli-ott, communications di-rector for the Illinois Sen-ate Democratic VictoryFund. The “lasting issue isthe general inefficiencies”of the election commis-sion, Elliott said.

[email protected] @erin_hegarty

The DuPage CountyElection Commissionspent more than $28,000to mail notices to 55,000Naperville residents abouta ballot problem thatmeant they could onlyvote early at two of 11locations — only to havethe mail arrive after manypeople had already gone tovote.

And two days after earlyvoting started — about thetime some of those resi-dents were receiving thenotice — the location re-striction was lifted.

The mailed noti-fications were dated Oct.4, postmarked Friday, Oct.19, and early voting beganMonday, Oct. 22.

The cost for sending thenotices breaks down to$26,123 for postage, $320for paper and $1,667 forenvelopes, according toinformation obtainedfrom the election commis-sion.

The letter outlined thedates for early voting andstated in underlined font,“Please be aware that dur-ing Early Voting only apaper ballot will be avail-able for the voters in theprecincts within StateRepresentative District 41at the following two EarlyVoting locations.” It listedthe Naperville MunicipalCenter and the DuPageCounty Election Commis-sion in Wheaton as theonly places where 41stDistrict residents couldcast early ballots.

Election commissionofficials did not respond toa request for comment onthe mailing expense orwhy the notices went outthe Friday before earlyvoting was to start.

Complaints startedcoming in the first day ofearly voting when peoplewere turned away fromvoting at the Olive TreeCondominiums inNaperville or another lo-cation in Downers Groveif they lived in the 41stDistrict.

The longtime book-keeper for well-knownWest Loop restaurantsBlackbird and Avec had asimple explanation for theFBI when she was arrestedfor stealing hundreds ofthousands of dollars fromher employers.

“I got over my head. I justtotally got over my head,”Renee Johnson said in aninterview with FBI agentsthat was played Tuesday ina federal courtroom.

When an agent asked ifshe’d thought she wouldever be caught, Johnsonsighed.

“Probably not,” she said.“You know, you take thatfirst cookie and it tastedgood. So it was easy.”

Johnson, 61, was sen-tenced Tuesday to twoyears and four months infederal prison for stealingmore than $600,000 from

the restaurants over a six-year period and using themoney to pay down person-al credit card debt, mortgag-es and other expenses.

Johnson pleaded guiltyin July to a single count ofmail fraud. Assistant U.S.Attorney Sunil Harjani hadasked for up to about 4 ½years in prison, while John-son’s attorney sought pro-bation.

In handing down thesentence, U.S. DistrictJudge Virginia Kendall saidshe was troubled by notonly the abuse of the trustthe restaurant owners hadplaced in her as the compa-ny’s sole bookkeeper butalso the lengths Johnsontook to avoid detection.

“It shows a six-year, dailypattern of criminality,”Kendall said.

Johnson, of Chicago,worked as a bookkeeper forOne Off Hospitality LLC,which owns several barsand restaurants in Chicago,including Blackbird andAvec, according to a crimi-nal complaint filed in April.

Her brother, Rick Diar-mit, is a partner in One Off,

records show.Johnson’s duties

at One Off includedprocessing checksto vendors who pro-vided food, laborand utilities to therestaurants, givingher signatory powerover the restaurants’ bankaccounts, according to thecomplaint.

From 2011 to 2017, John-son wrote hundreds of un-authorized checks fromOne Off’s accounts totalingabout $604,000 to pay forher personal expenses, in-cluding mortgages on realestate holdings in Chicago,according to the complaint.

To hide the theft, John-son made checks payable toone of her personal cred-itors but later deleted theentry in One Off’s book-keeping system, the com-plaint said.

Johnson also cut somechecks to pay personal ex-penses and then quicklywrote a new check with thesame number to pay for alegitimate corporate ex-penditure, according to thecomplaint.

The fraud wasfirst detected in Au-gust 2017 after anaccountant helpingto implement a newbookkeeping sys-tem for the restau-rants noticed twochecks written to a

wine vendor had the samenumber, according to thecomplaint.

On Aug. 24, Johnson wascalled to a meeting at OneOff headquarters with theaccountant and two of thecompany’s partners. Aftershe was confronted withfinancial papers showingthe fraud, Johnson “avoidedeye contact” with those inthe room and said, “This isme, I did this,” according tothe complaint.

In her interview with theFBI in April, Johnsonquickly came clean, tellingagents that her financialwoes began after a bankermade a bad deal refinancingthe mortgage on her moth-er’s home.

“He really screwed meover royally,” she said in theinterview. “I couldn’t paythe bills.”

As the video played Tues-day in the courtroom, John-son began to cry.

The investigation be-came public earlier this yearafter One Off sued Johnsonfor embezzlement. At thetime, One Off released astatement saying that thecompany fired Johnson and“initiated both a legal inves-tigation and a police investi-gation immediately” afterlearning of the allegedfraud.

Johnson’s attorney,James Vanzant, toldKendall on Tuesday that thesuit was settled two weeksago for $150,000. To pay thejudgment, Johnson will selloff her remaining real es-tate, he said.

When it opened in 1997,Blackbird quickly becameone of the early high-endsuccesses of the RandolphStreet corridor, a neighbor-hood previously known forits meatpacking plants andwarehouses. Avec, locatednext door, opened in 2003.

Johnson was involved inBlackbird before it opened.Plate magazine interviewedher as part of a 2013 story

that chronicled the creationof the influential restaurant.Johnson said then that shegave $10,000 to her brotherand restaurant partnerDonnie Madia to help startthe business.

“I was waitressing atNoodles, and (Diarmit)came in for Tuesday nightprime rib with Donnie,”Johnson said in that inter-view. “They sat in a booth,and I gave him the money.And if my memory servesme correctly, I think Ipicked up the bill for dinner,too. But that was how thatwent. It’s your brother. It’syour family; they ask forhelp, and you just do it,that’s it. Period.”

She also talked about theearly days trying to handlethe restaurant’s finances.

“I did all the invoices,”Johnson said. “I had themin a milk crate; I didn’t evenhave a filing cabinet. It gotto the point where I was justtired of handwriting them. Ieven brought in my electrictypewriter to type checks.”

One of the first naturalareas Marian Byrnes foughtto preserve was the sprawl-ing Van Vlissingen Prairieon the Southeast Side. Thisweek, the park containingthe prairie is expected to benamed in her honor.

Chicago Park District of-ficials are expected to ap-prove Wednesday the re-quest to name the SouthDeering park after the envi-ronmental activist.

The 45-day notice pe-riod, in which officials so-licit public input on thenaming proposal, was initi-ated Sept. 18. The proposalhas since received positivesupport, according to thedistrict, including from Ald.Susan Sadlowski Garza,10th, the Field Museum, the

Calumet Ecological ParkAssociation and the South-east Environmental TaskForce.

The park, located southof 95th Street and west ofVan Vlissingen Road, com-prises about 142 acres andincludes marsh, wet prairie,savanna and woodland.

Byrnes died in May 2010,at the age of 84. At the time,her friend Joan Curry toldthe Tribune, “She was bril-liant, in love with the world,the planet and all livingthings.”

Byrnes grew up on a farmin Indiana and went on towin the 1938 Scripps Na-tional Spelling Bee with theword “sanitarium.” She or-ganized one of the firststudent chapters of theNAACP, at Indiana Uni-versity, and later, with amaster’s degree from theUniversity of Chicago,worked as a teacher inChicago Public Schools.

In the following years,Byrnes took up a number of

causes but is rememberedby many in the communityfor her environmental workon the industrial SoutheastSide.

“I think she really unitedthe whole area,” said JohnPastirik, who knew Byrnesas a fellow activist in theSoutheast EnvironmentalTask Force.

In 1979, she founded theCommittee to Protect thePrairie in response to a CTAproposal to build a busgarage on the Van Vlissing-en Prairie and was success-ful in stopping the construc-tion.

The open space laterbecame known as the Mari-an R. Byrnes Natural Area.

Mark Bouman, the FieldMuseum’s Chicago regionprogram director in theKeller Science Action Cen-ter, said Byrnes was an“amazing” person.

“She actually lived onVan Vlissingen Road,”Bouman said. “The alleybehind her house led you

right into that space, intothe prairie. So it was reallyin her backyard. And I thinkone of the cool things abouther is the all-politics-is-local thing.

“It started right there,literally in her backyard,and led her essentially into asecond career,” Boumansaid.

The region that includesthe prairie has beenthrough a major environ-mental recovery over theyears, one result of Byrnes’vision and action, but stillhas a long way to go,Bouman said.

“And she would be thelast to sort of sugarcoatanything about it,” he said.

The Chicago Park Dis-trict board is also expectedto name another SouthDeering park, at 11555 S.Stony Island Ave., as BigMarsh Park at Wednesday’smeeting.

Mayor Rahm Emanuelwouldn’t say Tuesdaywhether he’s been talking tocable television networksabout becoming a punditafter he leaves office in May.

“Don’t worry about myfuture, because I’m veryfocused on the city’s future,”he said. “I told you I wasgoing to run through thetape and that’s exactly whatI’m going to do. And I’venever been scared to tell youwhen I’m doing stuff, evenwhen you don’t want toreport it. So here’s the thing,when I have something tosay, I’ll say something aboutmy future.”

The Daily Beast, citinganonymous sources, re-ported that Emanuel hashad talks with “top execu-tives” at CNN and MSNBC.

The job would seem to bea good fit. Emanuel hasbeen at his most relaxedduring his two terms whilecalling on his experience inWashington, D.C., where heserved in two Democraticpresidential administra-tions and as a member ofCongress, to opine aboutnational political trends.

Talking with national re-porters about how Demo-

crats can have electoral suc-cess allows Emanuel toshowcase his expertisewhile avoiding thornierChicago problems such asviolent crime and the city’sprecarious finances thathave proved vexing duringhis tenure as mayor.

And he has honed hiscriticism of RepublicanPresident Donald Trump toa fine point over the pasttwo years, positioning him-self at the forefront of anationwide group of mayorswho have stood up to the

president on immigration,environmental policy andother issues.

And Trump has bolsteredEmanuel’s resistance bonafides by repeatedly singlingChicago out for criticismabout crime and other top-ics.

Emanuel also comes witha made-for-cable reputationas an inveterate Beltwayknife fighter. It’s a mytholo-gy bolstered by tales of hisprofanity-laced tiradeswhile working as an adviserto President Bill Clinton, as

the head of the DemocraticCongressional CampaignCommittee when he was acongressman from Chi-cago’s North Side and lateras President Barack Oba-ma’s chief of staff.

This past Sunday, Eman-uel appeared on ABC News’“This Week with GeorgeStephanopoulos” with sev-eral other pundits, includ-ing former New Jersey Gov.Chris Christie.

date to launch a mayoralcampaign, and the fifthsince Mayor Rahm Emanu-el made the surprise an-nouncement in Septemberthat he would drop his bidfor a third term. Mendozahas spent the last fewmonths declining to ruleout a run for mayor whilesaying she was focused onher comptroller campaign.

Behind the scenes, how-ever, Mendoza started lay-ing the groundwork for amayoral run within days ofEmanuel’s announcement,including calls to laborleaders and deep-pocketeddonors, the Chicago Trib-une previously reported.And when a video snippetof Mendoza announcing arun for mayor leaked earli-er this month, little doubtwas left about her inten-tions.

In finally making hercampaign official, Mendozaidentified three key issuesfacing the city: crime, edu-cation and high taxes. Sheleft unsaid what she’ll pro-pose to do about each, butpresented them as chal-lenges she understands af-ter growing up in LittleVillage on the SouthwestSide and living in PortagePark on the Northwest Side.

“The challenges peopleface in the city are mychallenges, too. We live in amiddle-class neighbor-hood, and we pay highproperty taxes. Our childgoes to a Chicago publicschool, and we’re proud tobe Chicago public schoolparents for the next 13years,” Mendoza says in thecampaign video. “Safeneighborhoods, goodschools, high propertytaxes. They’re not just is-sues to me. I live them, too.”

In the video, Mendozaalso indirectly addresses acriticism she’s sure to get onthe campaign trail — thatshe spent much of herchildhood growing up insouthwest suburban Bol-ingbrook.

Emanuel faced similarattacks in his 2011 campaignfor growing up on the NorthShore in Wilmette.

Mendoza explains thather family left the citybecause of gun violence —an issue that is as relevanttoday as it was nearly 40years ago when she firstmoved.

“I was born in the city ofChicago. I lived in the LittleVillage community on theSouthwest Side. Violencewas an issue then, too. Iknow what it feels like to bescared to walk to school,”Mendoza says as the videoshows her walking downthe street with her motherand standing in front of aLittle Village home flyingboth American and Mexi-can flags. “And then, therewas a shooting right on ourblock. My parents were likeso many parents trauma-tized by gun violence everyday in this city. They felt likethey had to leave. No familyshould have to leave theircity because their neighbor-hood isn’t safe.”

In the video, she’s quickto note that she playedcompetitive soccer growingup — often the only girlplaying on all-boys soccerteams. Her closing comp-troller ad, which aired heav-ily in the Chicago market,showed her kicking a ballaround on the pitch, wear-ing a jersey that featured thered stars of the Chicago flag.

Mendoza was electedstate representative in 2000as a 28-year-old, the young-est member of the body atthe time. She served as cityclerk from 2011 until 2016when she won a specialelection for comptrolleragainst Leslie Munger,whom Republican Gov.Bruce Rauner appointed tothe office after then-Comp-troller Judy Baar Topinkadied in 2015.

As comptroller, Mendozacultivated an image as apolitical fighter, taking onRauner over transparencyand financial issues. Whenshe won re-election lastweek, she took to the stageto “Eye of the Tiger,” aSurvivor song famous forbeing featured in the boxingmovie “Rocky III.” Andeven though the governoralready had conceded alandslide defeat, Mendozaspiked the proverbial foot-ball on stage by repeatedlyslamming Rauner.

Mendoza’s relatively qui-et mayoral roll-out beliesher reputation as a boister-ous campaigner. There wasno rally. No speech. No

supporters waving signs.Instead, her announce-

ment was carefully con-trolled.

Her campaign staffemailed a statement fromMendoza announcing herrun under the condition itcould not be published untilWednesday morning.

It also released a roughlytwo-minute video from thecandidate under the sameconditions, which typicallyaim to limit media outletsfrom gathering reactionsfrom other candidates and

opponents that might notbe aligned with the cam-paign’s narrative.

Mendoza was scheduledto hold a series of brieffive-minute interviews withreporters Wednesday.

The cautious messagemanagement came after aseven-second video clipleaked earlier this month,with footage of Mendozadeclaring she would run formayor.

That video surfaced justdays before Mendoza’s Nov.6 comptroller election

against Republican DarleneSenger, which she wonhandily.

Still, it sent a message: IfMendoza is to run for may-or, she’s in for a hardballcampaign. That comes withthe territory in Chicago,however, and plays rightinto her “fighter” wheel-house.

The campaign two-stepalready has drawn sharpcriticism from some othercandidates, including for-mer U.S. Commerce Secre-tary Bill Daley who noted

Mendoza supporters havebeen passing her petitionson the street for monthswhile she professed not toknow whether she wouldrun.

“Another politician lies tothe people, OK?” said Daley,whose father and brotherheld the mayor’s office for acombined 43 years. “Peoplearen’t stupid. C’mon. Bestraight.”

Mendoza is likely to plowpast such criticism by div-ing straight into the cam-paign, and she’s already

alluding that the mayor’soffice shouldn’t be en-trusted with another famil-iar name — such as a Daleyor Preckwinkle.

“The job of mayor isn’tfor a caretaker,” Mendozasays in her campaign video.“Every Chicagoan deservesa mayor who every wakingmoment, every day asksherself one fundamentalquestion: Did I doenough?”

who wouldn’t get intoTuesday’s book signing —there was a midnight story-telling late Monday at 57thStreet Books.

Respect for tradition is aHyde Park virtue, as Semi-nary Co-op Bookstorebears witness. It was bornin 1961 when a group ofstudents put up $10 each tolaunch a cooperative in thebasement of the ChicagoTheological Seminary, ablock west of its presentlocation. Water and heatingpipes ran through, aroundand over the shelves —giving customers the im-pression they’d been magi-cally transported to thefabled King Minos’ Laby-rinth on ancient Crete.

To check that feelingwith the tale’s text, you hadto know the zigzaggingroute to the half-hiddencranny where Greek andRoman classics wereshelved. Despite the obsta-cle course, the store quicklybecame a rendezvous forstudents and faculty, asCass Sunstein, a celebratedlegal scholar, noted in a2014 Tribune opinionpiece.

“On the day after Imoved to Hyde Park, ayoung English professortold me, in hushed tones,‘The best thing about theUniversity of Chicago is theSem Co-op.’”

The novelist and critic

Tuesday afternoon, aquirky bookstore in anoddball neighborhoodhonored one of its mem-bers with a book signing. Ifyou weren’t quick to hearthe weekend announce-ment there was no pointheading out to 5751 S.Woodlawn Ave., whereMichelle Obama wouldsign her name ad infinitum,as they say in Hyde Park, onthe flyleaf of “Becoming,”her memoir.

Seminary Co-op Book-store emailed notice of theevent at 11 a.m. Sunday, andby early afternoon a “SoldOut” sign hung in its win-dow.

To judge by Janet Jo-seph’s example, the store’spatrons are fiercely loyalObama partisans.

“I have such admirationfor Michelle. She’s such anincredible role model,”Joseph said. Having driven30 minutes from her NorthSide home Sunday, Josephgot one of the last reserva-tions available at 1:45 p.m.

She and others quickenough to get their nameson the signup sheet are

among the store’s 80,000members.

The bookstore is a coop-erative, and if the worddoes not ring a bell, you’reprobably not a resident ofHyde Park, or haven’t spenttime there. The South Sidelakefront neighborhood is arepository of yesteryearcauses.

The cooperative move-ment dates to an era whenbringing consumers to-gether as the owners of thestores they frequentedoffered hope of checkingcapitalism’s excesses. HydePark’s principal supermar-ket was long a co-op.

It’s gone, but Seminary

Co-op Bookstore still putsup the good fight againstcorporate behemoths likeBarnes & Noble.

Perhaps that’s why theformer first lady chose tobegin promoting her bookamid bookshelves so differ-ent from others she’ll en-counter on her tour. Semi-nary Co-op does not offerHarlequin romances, orself-help or pop psychologybooks. Its display tablespromote weighty tomeswith ponderous titles like“Pantheologies: Gods, Idols,Monsters” by Mary-JaneRubenstein and “ThinkingWithout a Banister” byHannah Arendt, a philo-

sopher who taught at thenearby University of Chi-cago.

Tuesday’s book signinghardly marked MichelleObama’s first visit to Semi-nary, noted bookstore di-rector Jeff Deutsch. WhenBarack Obama taught lawat the university andMichelle Obama was anadministrator at the Uni-versity of Chicago MedicalCenter, she would pick outchildren’s books for theirdaughters at 57th StreetBooks, the co-op’s nearbyannex.

To commemorate thatbit of history — and as aconsolation prize for those

Susan Sontag had a similarimpression when I accom-panied her to a book sign-ing followed by a tour ofcampus. “Can we go back tothat bookstore?” she asked.Then she spent as much ona stack of books as she’dearned that day from auto-graphing and selling herown.

Seminary bookstore’sminimalist quarters were aperfect fit for the Uni-versity of Chicago for 50years. Both were no-frillsvenues for the intellectuallife. The university hadgiven up big-time football, amainstay of other Americanuniversities, but retained aGreat Books curriculum.And the bookstore so per-sonified that commitmentthat members greeted its2012 move to its present,more comfortable quarterswith bittersweet commentson forms supplied for theirrecollections.

One said the SeminaryCo-op was “the best placeto get lost in and then findyourself again.” Anotherproclaimed it “the placewhere dreams begin.”

So maybe it was a fitsetting for Michelle Oba-ma’s fans — and she herself— to revive dreams shat-tered or battered since sheand her husband left theWhite House.

Co-op a perfect fit for Obama’s book signing

cheering.Inside, Stevie Wonder,

Michael Jackson andChuck Brown blasted fromthe speakers as Obama’ssupporters rushed to taketheir seats. Video montagesplayed for the growing au-dience.

The headline attraction?Oprah Winfrey’s interviewof Obama.

In the past, Obama hasappeared measured anddisciplined when appearingin public, deliveringspeeches or giving inter-views. But on Tuesdaynight, she didn’t seem tohold back.

“If a memoir is abouttruth, then I’m telling it,”she said. “Having the oppor-tunity to reflect on one’s lifeis a luxury. It was absolutelyhealing for me, to look onmy life and figure out howall these little stories thatseem meaningless” havevalue, she said.

And so she talked indetail about her last day inthe White House and howshe couldn’t bring herself tocontinue smiling at the in-auguration for DonaldTrump.

As she and her familyflew away from Washing-ton, Michelle Obama sat onthe plane and wept, she toldthe audience at United Cen-ter.

It was a moment sheforgot to put in the book,she told Winfrey, but as sherecently reflected abouttheir last day she remem-bered the last rush of emo-tions.

“When I got on the plane,I think I sobbed for 30minutes,” she said. “I think

it was just the release ofeight years of trying to doeverything perfectly. I saidto Barack, ‘That was sohard, what we just did, thatwas so hard.’ ”

As she stood on stage atthe inauguration for Trump,Obama admitted shecouldn’t force herself tosmile.

“Something in me. Icouldn’t do it,” she said.

From the momentObama announced on socialmedia that she had finishedwriting her memoir, theanticipation had beenbuilding. Thousands of herfollowers from across thecountry paid from $29 to$2,500 to see the formerfirst lady discuss her memo-ries and reflections with herclosest friends in stadiumsincluding in New York, Dal-las, Washington, D.C., andPhoenix.

But even the lead-up tothe United Center eventwas a carefully orchestratedblitz. There were reviews ofthe book published withsynchronized timing, fol-lowed by special issues ofmagazines and an hourlongtelevision special.

In Chicago, Obamakicked off her tour of thecity with a conversationwith 20 teenage girls at heralma mater, Whitney YoungMagnet High School.

Best-selling novelistTayari Jones took to socialmedia to post images of abook club meeting hostedby Obama and attended bythe television super pro-ducer Shonda Rhimes, thejournalist Michele Norrisand the writers JacquelineWoodson and Elizabeth Al-exander, among others. Andthen Obama released a let-

ter about her love for theSouth Side in the ChicagoDefender.

But there was little doubtwhat the main event was.

As showtime ap-proached, Beth Winer

scrambled to find her seatswith a giddy nervousness.She didn’t expect Obama togo beyond what she wroteabout in her book, but shewanted to hear all of it, inperson, in Obama’s voice,she said.

“She’s going to reinvigo-rate everybody,” said Winer,of Lincoln Square. “She’sgoing to send people out ofthis stadium excited aboutchange and embrace whowe are. We’re going to get toknow her a little more as aperson and how she got tobe who she is.”

Winfrey wasted littletime warming up thecrowd.

“You put on your bestI’m-going-to-meet-Michelle-Obama clothes,”Winfrey said during heropening.

“Some of you got yourticket, and then youthought, ‘Who am I takingwith me? Who deservesit,’ ” she joked.

“I see a few woke men inhere,” Winfrey added,drawing laughter.

Finally, Obama arrivedon stage. She walked outcasually, wearing a glisten-ing white blouse that hungoff her shoulder, similar tohow she looks on the coverof her book. There was astanding ovation from thecrowd.

Winfrey asked what itwas like to live in the WhiteHouse. “I describe it asliving in the fanciest hotel,”Obama said. And she ex-plained that while the fam-ily lives there for free, theyare billed for expenses.

“A lot of people think ...

taxpayers are paying forthat. Yes: You don’t pay rent... but you get a bill,” shesaid. But as the audiencegroaned , the ever-down-toearth Obama stopped them.“It’s not an ‘Aww.’ We livedin the White House, y’all!”she said.

Through the run-up tothe big event, many ofObama’s supporters, like Al-ex Hofmann, 28, seemed toboth adore and absorb it all.

“She helps us capture afeeling of a happier andmore inspiring time,” saidHofmann, who stood in thecold for nearly three hoursTuesday to get a glimpseand buy a book directlyfrom Obama at the HydePark bookstore.

Decked out in matchingred blazers adorned withbold, black-and-white“Ecier Foundation” logos inthe corner, students fromnorthwest Indiana marchedonto a charter bus Tuesdaynight, under the impressionthey were going to an entre-preneurial workshop.

After cozying into theirseats, Chariece White,founder of the Ecier Foun-dation, a nonprofit based inMerrillville, Ind., thatteaches students how to beinnovators and entrepre-neurs, shared the real desti-nation: Michelle Obama’sfirst book tour stop withOprah Winfrey at theUnited Center.

An eruption of cheersand clapping echoedthroughout the vehicle, illu-minating the dim bus withpure joy and excitement.Bursts of dancing soon fol-

lowed, and a few happytears were shed.

“I honestly thought wewere going to a real prettybanquet, a person wouldtalk about entrepre-neurship, we would eat,then go back home,” saidTamron Matheny, a 17-year-old high school senior fromGary. “But, she talkin’ aboutMichelle Obama andOprah, and I’m like what?That was deep.”

Matheny said she was soshocked, since she has sucha deep affinity for bothMichelle Obama andOprah, she didn’t know howto react.

“Honestly, I love thatthey’re black and thatthey’re women,” she said.“They really are icons toblack people, especially toblack women. It just really,really feels good to seesomeone of your race win-ning. I just really love thepositive impact, and the bigimpact, that they have onAfrican-American people.”

Raina Jenkins “kinda fig-ured” the group was head-ing to Chicago, but didn’tknow where.

“We always take reallycool trips in this program,but I was not expecting thisat all,” said the 16-year-oldjunior, also from Merril-lville. “When Ms. Chariecesaid it, I was like, ‘Wait, holdup — this has got to be ajoke, or something.’ But shewas for real, and I was like,‘Oh, my gosh this is crazybecause I love these womenso much.’”

Jenkins said Oprah’smany entrepreneurial en-deavors inspired her whenshe was younger anddreamed about working inproduction, and that sheadmired the former firstlady for the “huge impactshe had in changing thecountry.”

“They’re just big influ-ences,” Jenkins gushed. “Ijust can’t wait to hear themspeak because every timewe hear someone of a

higher status talk they justgive so much advice. Itreally pushes me to bebetter.”

Deverieux Coleman, a 16-year-old from Merrillvilleand in her first-year in theEcier program, thought thebus was taking the studentsto a lecture.

“That wasn’t going to be aproblem,” she reasoned,“but this is like, 10 timesbetter!” Coleman said shewas looking forward tohearing from the “very in-fluential women.”

Thirty-one studentscame with the organization— 12 were part of the EcierFoundation program andthe rest guest students.White orchestrated the sur-prise trip after hearing thatObama would select organi-zations to donate tickets to.

“I sent in a request … andour foundation was se-lected,” White said. “Shegave us 50 tickets for ourstudents and chaperones.”The students — and their

parents — knew nothingabout the trip, White ex-plained.

“They didn’t even knowthey’re going to Chicago!”she said giddily. “I had acouple parents wanting toknow because we’re gettingback late, but they’re trust-ing. They had to sign arelease to give their permis-sion for the kids to go withus.”

The timing worked out

perfectly, White said, be-cause Tuesday night “wasgoing to be the first officialworkshop.”

“When we got this op-portunity we just said we’respinning it a different way,”White said. “You couldn’tmeet a better entrepreneurthan Michelle Obama andOprah.”

“What has happenedover the last several monthsis absolutely a shame,” saidstate Rep. Tim Butler, aSpringfield Republican. “Tohave front-page stories inThe New York Times mak-ing light of this great institu-tion should not have hap-pened.

“I don’t know if you’regoing to get state funding,”Butler said. “But I have ahard time going to bat forstate funding in the currentenvironment.”

The collection also in-cludes Lincoln eyeglasses, abillfold and gloves he woreto Ford’s Theatre when hewas shot and killed on April14, 1865. They carry some ofthe blood spilled when hewas assassinated.

Museum foundation offi-cials say they’ve ap-proached auction housesabout what some of theitems might fetch if theycan’t come up with morethan $9 million by next fall.

“This collection shouldstay here, at ALPLM, inLincoln’s hometown, in thepublic domain for the worldto appreciate,” state histori-an Samuel Wheeler toldlawmakers.

Lawmakers won’t startcrafting their next budgetuntil next year, after Demo-cratic Gov.-elect J.B.Pritzker takes office. Andthe request for state moneyto save Lincoln artifactscomes as the state is about$7.5 billion behind in payingits bills. On Tuesday, law-makers questioned muse-um officials about its boardand fundraising.

The collection of morethan 1,000 items came fromLouise Taper of BeverlyHills, Calif., who also do-nated memorabilia in whatwas viewed as a coup for the$145 million museum,which has drawn more than4 million visitors sinceopening in 2005 in down-town Springfield.

The state’s collection ofLincoln artifacts draws re-searchers from across the

globe and gives the public achance to see up close bigand small pieces of historytied to the 16th president.

In a uniquely Illinois mo-ment, the first person totestify at Tuesday’s Housecommittee hearing was a

Lincoln impersonator.When reminded to use themicrophone, the imperson-ator asked, “Is this workinglike it ought to?”

NATION & WORLD

FORT LAUDERDALE,Fla. — At the center ofFlorida’s vote recount stormis an elections supervisorwith a checkered pastwhose Democratic-domi-nated county has been thetarget of protests and accu-sations, including by Presi-dent Donald Trump, thatsomething fraudulent isafoot.

Lawyers for RepublicanGov. Rick Scott, who is in arazor-thin Senate race withincumbent Democrat BillNelson, have claimed thatBroward Supervisor ofElections Brenda Snipescommitted fraud withoutpresenting any evidence.Trump has echoed thoseclaims on Twitter.

State monitors and theFlorida Department of LawEnforcement say there areno indications of fraud inthe county’s vote.

Yet, Snipes, a Democrat,remains a target for theGOP, including former Gov.Jeb Bush, who appointedher to the post in 2003

when the previous supervi-sor was accused of malfea-sance and now says Snipesshould be removed. Snipeshas been re-elected sincethen, and is unapologeticabout her record.

“I’ve worked here forabout 15 years, and I have tosay this (is) the first timethat this office or I havebeen under such attacks,”Snipes told reporters Mon-day. “There have been is-sues that haven’t gone theway we wanted it. You cancall it a mistake or you cancall it whatever you want.”

On Tuesday, Snipeshinted to reporters that shemight not run for re-elec-tion in 2020 — “It is time tomove on,” she said — butquickly added that no finaldecision has been made.

“I’ll check with my familyand they’ll tell me what I’mdoing,” she said.

Since Snipes has been inoffice, there seems to be along list of these mistakes.

Earlier this year, for ex-ample, a judge ruled shebroke election law by de-stroying ballots in a 2016congressional primary raceinvolving Democratic Rep.Debbie Wasserman Schultzwithout waiting the re-quired 22 months. Also in2016, a medical marijuana

amendment didn’t appearon some Broward ballots,and again that year resultsfrom primary electionswere posted on the office’swebsite before polls hadclosed.

A week after the 2012election, about 1,000 un-counted ballots were dis-covered. And in 2004, about58,000 mail-in ballots werenot delivered, requiringworkers to hurry to replacethem.

Just last week, a judgefound that Snipes had vio-lated Florida open recordslaws by failing to quicklyprovide voting records toattorneys for Scott’s Senatecampaign.

“This is not a case aboutcounting votes. This is asimple case about access toinformation that the super-visor of elections was re-quired to have and requiredto provide,” said Scott law-yer Jordan Zimmerman.“This is simply public infor-mation the public is entitledto.”

Snipes, 68, a native ofTalladega, Ala., moved toBroward County in 1964 tobegin what became a longcareer as an educator. Sheeventually rose to becomean area director in thepublic school system, lead-

ing principals from 16schools, according to thesupervisor’s office website.

In 2003 Bush appointedher to the supervisor’s posi-tion after her predecessor,Miriam Oliphant, was re-moved from office becauseof numerous problems inthe 2002 primary election.

On Monday, several pro-Trump Facebook pages andone Twitter account postedSnipes’ home address andphone number — a tacticcalled doxing” that often isa step toward harassment ofpeople in the public spot-light and is prohibited byFacebook, Twitter and mostother online platforms.

Facebook confirmedTuesday that it had re-

moved personal informa-tion about Snipes after theincident was reported to thecompany. Twitter declinedto comment. Two tweetsfrom an account visibleTuesday morning were de-leted by noon.

Elections experts, how-ever, say it’s not unusual forcontested or provisionalvotes in “blue” Democraticcounties like Broward tomainly support that party.

“It is no surprise thatDemocrats gain votes laterin the counting process inpart because big cities tendto contain lots of Demo-cratic votes, and given theirpopulation, cities takemuch longer to count,” saidRichard Hasen, law profes-

sor at the University ofCalifornia-Irvine and au-thor of books on electioncontroversies, in an articleMonday in Slate.

On Tuesday, a Floridacircuit judge did suspendsome looming recountdeadlines, but her rulingapplies to Palm BeachCounty only and does notapply to the race betweenNelson and Scott.

Leon County JudgeKaren Gievers ruled that amachine recount in twoother statewide elections,including the race for gover-nor, can go beyond Thurs-day's deadline.

WASHINGTON —Maryland is challenging theappointment of MatthewWhitaker as the new U.S.acting attorney general, ar-guing that President DonaldTrump sidestepped theConstitution and the JusticeDepartment's own succes-sion plan by elevating Whit-aker to the top job.

The Tuesday filing setsup a court challenge be-tween a state and the fed-

eral governmentover the legitimacyof the country'schief law enforce-ment officer andforeshadows thelikelihood of addi-tional cases thatpresent the sameissues.

It comes asDemocrats call on Whitakerto recuse himself from over-seeing the special counsel'sRussia investigation be-cause of critical commentshe has made on the probe

and amid con-cerns over hisviews on thescope of judicialauthority.

In their filing,lawyers in the of-fice of MarylandAttorney GeneralBrian Frosh arguethat the job

should have gone to DeputyAttorney General RodRosenstein. They cite a stat-ute governing the line ofsuccession at the JusticeDepartment that says that

in the case of a vacancy inthe attorney general posi-tion, the deputy attorneygeneral may exercise “allthe duties of that office.” Ifneither is available for thejob, according to that statu-te, then the associate attor-ney general is supposed tobe elevated.

Beyond that, the lawyerssay, the Constitution re-quires the duties of theattorney general to becarried out only by someonewith Senate confirmation.

A Justice Department

spokeswoman had no im-mediate comment, thoughthe department was ex-pected to release an opinionfrom its Office of LegalCounsel defending the ap-pointment. Whitaker wasappointed last year as chiefof staff to then-AttorneyGeneral Jeff Sessions. Hebecame acting attorneygeneral on Nov. 7 whenSessions was forced out.

The Maryland filing wasmade Tuesday in a legaldispute with the Trumpadministration over the Af-

fordable Care Act. Thatlawsuit names Sessions asan individual defendant.

The state asks the judgeto substitute Rosenstein asthe defendant in place ofSessions, a move that wouldeffectively declare him theproper attorney general.

The state's lawyers saythat in addition to theirconcerns over the line ofsuccession, Whitaker has“expressed idiosyncraticviews that are inconsistentwith long-standing Depart-ment of Justice policy.”

Md. challenges Whitaker appointment as acting AG

By Eric TuckerAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — Forweeks this fall, an ebullientPresident Donald Trumptraveled relentlessly to holdraise-the-rafters campaignrallies — sometimes three aday — in states where hispresence was likely to helpRepublicans on the ballot.

But his mood apparentlyhas changed as he has takenmeasure of the electoralbacklash that voters deliv-ered Nov. 6. With the cer-tainty that the incomingDemocratic House majoritywill go after his tax returnsand investigate his actions,and the likelihood of addi-tional indictments by spe-cial counsel Robert Mueller,Trump has retreated into acocoon of bitterness andresentment, multiple ad-ministration sources said.

Behind the scenes, theysay, Trump has lashed out atseveral aides. “He’s furious,”said one administration of-ficial. “Most staffers aretrying to avoid him.”

The official, who spokeon the condition of ano-nymity, painted a picture ofa brooding president “try-ing to decide who to blame”for Republicans’ electionlosses, even as he publiclyand implausibly continuesto claim victory.

White House chief ofstaff John Kelly and Kirst-jen Nielsen, secretary of theDepartment of HomelandSecurity, who are close al-lies, “seem to be on theirway out,” the official said,noting recent leaks on thesubject. The official cau-

tioned, however, that per-sonnel decisions are neverfinal until Trump tweets outthe news.

Meanwhile, in an ex-traordinary move, MelaniaTrump called publicly forthe top deputy to nationalsecurity adviser JohnBolton to be dismissed.

After reports circulatedTuesday that PresidentTrump had decided to re-move Mira Ricardel fromher post at the NationalSecurity Council, StephanieGrisham, the first lady’sspokeswoman, released astatement that said: “It isthe position of the Office ofthe First Lady that she nolonger deserves the honor

of serving in this WhiteHouse.”

The Wall Street Journalreported Tuesday that thefirst lady’s staff and Ricardelhad clashed during Mrs.Trump’s visit to Africa inOctober over such things asseating on the airplane andrequests to use the council’sresources.

Publicly, PresidentTrump has been increas-ingly absent in recent days— except on Twitter. He hascanceled travel plans anddispatched Cabinet officialsand aides to events in hisplace — including sendingVice President Mike Penceto Asia for the annual sum-mits there in November that

past presidents nearly al-ways attended.

Jordan’s King AbdullahII was in Washington onTuesday and met with Sec-retary of State Mike Pom-peo, but not the president.

Also Tuesday, DefenseSecretary Jim Mattis an-nounced plans to travelWednesday near the U.S.-Mexico border to visit withtroops Trump orderedthere last month in what isostensibly a mission to de-fend against a caravan ofCentral American migrantsmoving through Mexicoand still hundreds of milesfrom the United States.Trump had reportedly con-sidered making that trip

himself, but has decidedagainst it.

Trump’s only public ap-pearance Tuesday was at ashort White House ceremo-ny marking the start of theHindu holiday Diwali atwhich he made brief com-ments and left without re-sponding to shouted ques-tions.

He had just returnedSunday night from a two-day trip to France to attendceremonies marking thecentennial of the armisticethat ended World War I.That trip was overshad-owed, in part, by Trump’sdecision not to attend awreath-laying at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery,

the burial place for 2,289soldiers 60 miles northeastof Paris, due to rain.

Kelly, a former MarineCorps general, and MarineGen. Joseph Dunford,chairman of the JointChiefs of Staff, did attend tohonor the American servicemembers interred there.Trump stayed in the U.S.ambassador’s residence inParis, making no public ap-pearances.

Other heads of state alsomanaged to make it toWorld War I cemeteries inthe area for tributes to theirnations’ war dead Saturday.

Trump and Russia’s Pres-ident Vladimir Putin werethe only world leaders toskip another commemora-tion, on Sunday, at the Arcde Triomphe, where about80 heads of state walked inunison — under umbrellasin the pouring rain — downParis’ grand Champs-Ely-sees boulevard. Trump ar-rived later by motorcade, adecision aides claimed wasmade for security reasons.

Nicholas Burns, formerU.S. ambassador to NATOunder George W. Bush, saidthe moment, commemorat-ing the 100th anniversary ofthe end of a war in which120,000 Americans werekilled, was ripe for soaringwords, which Trump failedto provide. “Not only did hebarely show up, he didn’tsay anything that wouldhelp Americans understandthe scale of the loss, or theimportance of avoiding an-other great war,” Burns said.“He seemed physically andemotionally apart.”

“The country deservesmore energy from the presi-dent.”

NEW YORK — Hatecrimes across the countryspiked 17 percent in 2017 —marking a rise for the thirdstraight year — with a 37percent increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes, ac-cording to an FBI reportreleased Tuesday.

There were 7,175 re-ported hate crimes last year,up from 6,121 in 2016. TheFBI's annual hate crimesreport defines hate crimesas those motivated by biasbased on a person's race,religion or sexual orienta-tion, among other catego-ries.

There was a nearly 23percent increase in religion-based hate crimes, withmore than 900 reports ofcrimes targeting Jews andJewish institutions. TheFBI said there were 2,013hate crimes against African-Americans, a 16 percentincrease.

Some of the increasesmay be the result of better

reporting by police depart-ments, but law enforcementofficials and advocacygroups don't doubt that hatecrimes are on the rise.

The report's releasecomes about two weeksafter a gunman shot todeath 11 people inside aPittsburgh synagogue. Thesuspect in that shooting,Robert Bowers, 46, ex-pressed hatred of Jews dur-ing the rampage and latertold police that “all theseJews need to die,” author-ities said. Bowers wascharged with federal hatecrimes and other charges.

“This report providesfurther evidence that moremust be done to address thedivisive climate of hate inAmerica,” said JonathanGreenblatt, the chief execu-tive officer of the Anti-Defamation League. “Thatbegins with leaders from allwalks of life and from allsectors of society forcefullycondemning anti-Semitism,bigotry, and hate wheneverit occurs.”

The Justice Department

has said it is prioritizinghate crimes prosecutionsand created a specializedinitiative last month, whichincludes a website for hatecrimes resources.

More than half of thereported hate crimes in2017 were motivated by biasagainst a person's race orethnicity, according to thereport. There were 1,130reported incidents targetingpeople because of their sex-ual orientation, including679 anti-gay hate crimes, asmall increase compared to2016. Anti-Muslim hatecrimes were down about 11percent, according to thereport.

Acting Attorney GeneralMatthew Whitaker said thecrimes were “despicableviolations of our core valuesas Americans.”

“This report is a call toaction — and we will heedthat call,” Whitaker saidTuesday. “The Departmentof Justice's top priority is toreduce violent crime inAmerica, and hate crimesare violent crimes.”

Alaska for many years be-fore moving to ButteCounty decades ago.

James Wiley said his fa-ther was a stoic veteran, andthe two had not spoken insix years.

Ernest Foss, 63, moved toParadise eight years agobecause the high cost ofliving pushed him out of theSan Francisco Bay area,according to his daughter,Angela Loo. He had swollenlimbs and couldn’t walk. Hehad also been on oxygen.

Loo told KTVU-TV inOakland that her fathertaught music out of theirhome in San Francisco andturned the living room intoa studio.

“I love that he shared hisgift of music with me and somany others during his life-time,” she said. “He wouldwant to be remembered forbeing a San Franciscan.”

Jesus Fernandez, a 48-year-old Concow resident,died along with his beloveddog, King.

Amid the wreckage,search teams continued tosift through rubble and ash.Residents are holding outhope that their loved oneswho went missing when thefire tore through theirtowns might be found.

The confusing search forhundreds of missing peoplehas been complicated bymany factors: bad cellphoneservice. A lack of access toburned-out areas. A sheerscattering of people acrossthe region who are stayingin shelters, hotels, friends’houses and their vehiclesand may have not gotten intouch with loved ones.

For some, it’s old familygrudges. People who hadlong stopped talking to each

other now just want toknow if they’re alive. HarryGramps Jr., 61, said hehadn’t talked to his oldestson, Chaz Gramps, of Para-dise, in quite some time.

But on Tuesday, thatdidn’t matter. HarryGramps just wanted toknow his son was OK.

“I just want to hear fromhim or at least from some-body that might knowsomething,” Gramps said.“He’s the type of person thatwould call immediately.”

He said his son is 30, ahusband and a father to twoyoung girls.

On Tuesday, crews wereworking to build up de-fenses around the town ofCherokee near the FeatherRiver and Stirling City,northeast of Paradise andMagalia, which were bothdevastated by the fire.

Two of the biggest ques-tion marks facing firefight-ers will be how the firebehaves when it hits swathsof landscape to the fire’seast and north. Officials saythe area has no documentedhistory of fire, meaning it’slikely extremely overgrownand dense, which can createexplosive fire conditions.

“Be aware, there is a lot offuel out there ready to burnreally hot,” fire behavioranalyst Jonathan Pangburntold crews at a morningbriefing at the Silver DollarFairgrounds in Chico onTuesday morning.

At the other end of thestate, firefighters continuedmaking progress against the150-square-mile WoolseyFire, which has killed twopeople in Malibu and de-stroyed over 400 structuresin Southern California.

The flames roared to lifeagain in a mountainouswilderness area in the

morning, sending up a hugeplume of smoke near thecommunity of Lake Sher-wood and prompting au-thorities to send aircraft todrop retardant and water.Still, the number of peopleevacuated was down byabout half from the daybefore, to around 100,000,authorities said, and the firewas 35 percent contained.

“We’re getting the upperhand here,” said Los Ange-les County Fire Chief DarylOsby.

The fire burned throughpart of a former researchsite that once housed anuclear reactor and hasbeen undergoing a years-long waste cleanup. Butmeasurements taken overthe weekend found no ab-normal levels of radiation orhazardous compounds, thestate Department of ToxicSubstances Control said.

WASHINGTON — CNNsued the Trump adminis-tration on behalf of report-er Jim Acosta on Tuesday,asking a court to restoreAcosta’s White Housepress pass after PresidentDonald Trump suspendedit last week.

The unusual lawsuit, anescalation of Trump’s long-running war of words withCNN, seeks a judge’s inter-vention after Trump ban-ished Acosta from theWhite House grounds foran indefinite period after abrief altercation betweenAcosta and a White Housepress aide.

After a testy exchangebetween the president andthe reporter, a press aidewent up to Acosta to take amicrophone out of hishands. As a result, presssecretary Sarah Sandersannounced a few hourslater that the White Househad revoked Acosta’s “hardpass,” which enables re-porters to enter and leavethe grounds each day.

Sanders called Acosta’salleged behavior “unac-ceptable” and citedAcosta’s encounter with

the press aide as the basisfor yanking his credential.She tweeted an apparentlydoctored video of the inci-dent.

CNN filed suit in U.S.District Court in Washing-ton, D.C. “We have askedthis court for an immediaterestraining order requiringthe pass be returned to Jim,and will seek permanentrelief as part of this proc-ess,” the network said in astatement released Tues-day morning.

Legal experts say thenetwork’s chances of win-ning in court are favorable.Although a court wouldlikely give the presidentand Secret Service the ben-efit of the doubt if theybarred a reporter due tosecurity threats, the FirstAmendment protects jour-nalists against arbitrary re-strictions by governmentofficials.

The suit names CNNand Acosta as plaintiffs.Trump, chief of staff JohnKelly, deputy chief of stafffor communications BillShine, Sanders and the U.S.Secret Service are named asdefendants. It alleges a vio-lation of the First Amend-ment, a violation of theFifth Amendment, which

guarantees due process ingovernment actions, and aviolation of the Adminis-trative Procedure Act. Itasks for the immediate res-toration of Acosta’s creden-tial, or restoration pendinga hearing before a “neutral”arbiter.

In a statement, Sanderscalled the suit “moregrandstanding from CNN”and said the White Housewill “vigorously” defenditself.

“CNN, who (sic) hasnearly 50 additional hardpass holders, and Mr.Acosta is no more or lessspecial than any other me-dia outlet or reporter withrespect to the First Amend-ment,” she said.

She downplayed a phys-ical altercation betweenAcosta and the press aide —the original reason theWhite House cited for thesuspension — and insteadsaid the suspension wasbecause Acosta would notyield to other reporters.

Trump’s action appearsto be unprecedented.There is no record of apresident revoking such apass from a reporter be-cause he didn’t like thequestions the reporterasked.

CNN sues Trump teamover Acosta ‘hard pass’By Paul FarhiThe Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Pres-ident Donald Trump un-leashed verbal attacksTuesday on French Presi-dent Emmanuel Macron,taking aim at his approvalrating, his country’s em-ployment rate, its tradepolicies on wine and hisvision for the military.

The broadside on Twit-ter escalated a spat thatbegan Friday when Trumptook umbrage at Macron’scall in a radio interview fora “true European army” sothat the continent can de-fend itself without relyingon the United States.

Tensions between thetwo leaders continued overthe weekend at events inParis commemorating theend of World War I, withMacron delivering a speechthat many saw as a rebukeof Trump’s self-imposed“nationalist” label.

In the first of severalbarbs Tuesday on Twitter,Trump again misrepre-sented what Macron hadsaid during last week’s ra-dio interview and re-minded him of the U.S.military’s role in aidingFrance in World War I andII.

“Emmanuel Macronsuggests building its ownarmy to protect Europeagainst the U.S., China andRussia,” Trump wrote. “Butit was Germany in WorldWars One & Two — Howdid that work out forFrance? They were startingto learn German in Parisbefore the U.S. came along.”

In the interview withFrench radio station Eu-rope 1, Macron called for a“true European army” inpart so that the continentwould not have to rely onthe United States for de-

fense. He noted that Russia“is at our borders” and saidhe would like to “start asecurity dialogue” with thenation.

In another part of theinterview, Macron said thatEurope has to protect itself“with respect to China,Russia and even the UnitedStates.” But in that portionof the radio interview, Mac-ron was actually referringto cybersecurity mattersand fading multilateralism,rather than the military.

Trump also inaccuratelysummarized Macron’scomments when he ini-tially tweeted about themFriday while on Air ForceOne arriving in Paris.Trump said he found Mac-ron’s comments “very in-sulting” and said thatFrance should “first pay itsfair share of NATO.”

In his tweet Tuesday,Trump again referencedFrance’s spending, writing:“Pay for NATO or not!”

Trump has long beenirritated at countries in theNATO alliance that do notspend at least 2 percent oftheir gross domestic prod-uct on their militaries,claiming that the UnitedStates has had to subsidizethe defense spending ofother nations.

In a speech at the WorldWar I commemoration,Macron delivered a force-ful rebuke against rising

nationalism, calling it a“betrayal of patriotism”and warning against “olddemons coming back towreak chaos and death.”

While his words wereintended for a global audi-ence, they also were widelyseen, in part, as a rebuke ofTrump, who recently de-scribed himself as a “na-tionalist.”

Trump referenced Mac-ron’s remarks during Tues-day’s tweetstorm.

“The problem is thatEmmanuel suffers from avery low Approval Ratingin France, 26%, and anunemployment rate of al-most 10%. He was justtrying to get onto anothersubject. By the way, there isno country more National-ist than France, very proudpeople — and rightfully so!”

“MAKE FRANCEGREAT AGAIN!” Trumpadded, in a play on hiscampaign slogan.

The poll Trump refer-enced was from last month.Another recent poll putMacron’s approval rating alittle higher. France’s un-employment rate is about 9percent.

Trump’s tweets came onthe anniversary of coor-dinated terrorist attacks onNov. 13, 2015, in France — asolemn occasion in thecountry. The French gov-ernment declined to com-ment on Trump’s tweets.

Twitter barrageescalates tensionafter trip to ParisBy John Wagnerand James McAuleyThe Washington Post

At first, Judy Melinekdidn’t know how to respondwhen she learned about anNRA tweet last week tellingdoctors who dared enterthe gun debate to stay “intheir own lane.”

But two days later, whenthe forensic pathologist wason her way to the morgue toexamine the body of one ofthe country’s many forgot-ten gunshot victims, thewords came to her.

“Do you have any ideahow many bullets I pull outof corpses weekly? Thisisn’t just my lane,” shetweeted Friday. “It’s my(expletive) highway.”

Joseph Sakran, a traumasurgeon at Johns HopkinsHospital, who suffers froma paralyzed vocal cord aftertaking a stray bullet in theneck almost 25 years ago,refused to stay silent as thecountry’s latest mass shoot-ing hit the news.

“I have Two Words foryou Hell No! #Hell No for#ThousandOaks #Hell Nofor all black men that die &no one hears about it. #HellNo for all those that we stillmay be able to save,” Sakranwrote.

Melinek and Sakran areamong countless medicalprofessionals who have tak-en to Twitter in the past fewdays to fire back at the NRA— creating a viral responsethat has ricocheted aroundthe internet under the hash-tags #thisisourlane and#thisismylane.

They have taken a debatethat has churned for dec-ades among powerful politi-cal gun lobbies and in aca-demic journals and re-launched it in the unfilteredTwittersphere. And theyhave accompanied their in-dignant messages withphotographs of feet slidingon red-splattered floors, ofswabs and scrubs drenchedin blood, and occasionally ofunidentifiable and mis-

shapen torsos heaped ongurneys.

They write of deliveringa shattered baby that savedits mother’s life by stoppinga bullet, and of hiding bloodand brain matter from par-ents. They show how thestunned public responses tothe Oct. 27 carnage in aPittsburgh synagogue andthen the Nov. 7 shooting in aThousand Oaks countrymusic bar fail to reflect theeveryday routine of tryingto resuscitate victims inemergency rooms in Balti-more and beyond.

“Being silenced is notacceptable,” Sakran said inan interview, describinghow he still keeps the bulletfragment that nearly killedhim on his dresser.

The NRA did not re-spond to a request for com-ment.

Kathleen Bell, a physiat-rist at the University ofTexas who specializes inpatient rehabilitation, saidshe was working on patientcharts in her office over-looking the trauma center’sheliport when she learnedabout the NRA tweet. Sheposted on behalf of patients

who, she explained, faceongoing indignities andpain long after any publicoutrage has passed.

“Let me mention life-times in wheelchairs withSCI (spinal cord injury),”Bell wrote, “useless armsfrom brachial plexus de-struction, colostomies frombelly destruction and yearsof dependence with TBI(traumatic brain injury).”

The NRA tweet wasspurred by a position paperfrom the American Collegeof Physicians posted on Oct.30 by the Annals of InternalMedicine and titled “Re-ducing Firearm Injuriesand Deaths in the UnitedStates.”

The ACP recommended“a public health approach tofirearms-related violenceand the prevention of fire-arm injuries and deaths,”saying the medical profes-sion has a “special responsi-bility” to speak out on theprevention of firearms-re-lated injuries,” and support-ing “appropriate regulationof the purchase of legalfirearms,” among othermeasures.

“The College acknowl-

edges that any such regula-tions must be consistentwith the Supreme Courtruling establishing that in-dividual ownership of fire-arms is a constitutionalright under the SecondAmendment of the Bill ofRight,” the paper said.

The NRA lashed out, firstwith a Nov 2 editorial,saying the ACP paper “re-flects every anti-gunner’spublic policy wish list, savefor the outsized role givento doctors” and accusing thegroup of being “only inter-ested in pseudoscience ‘evi-dence’ that supports theirpreferred anti-gun poli-cies.”

Then on Nov. 7, just hoursbefore 28-year-old formerMarine Ian David Longlaunched his attack at theBorderline Bar and Grill inThousand Oaks, the NRAput out its provocativetweet.

“Someone should tellself-important anti-gundoctors to stay in their lane.Half of the articles in Annalsof Internal Medicine arepushing for gun control.Most upsetting, however,the medical community

seems to have consulted NOONE but themselves.”

Not only did individualdoctors respond in grue-some fury, but the Annalstold the NRA to stay “out ofthe exam room” and inviteddoctors to sign onto a com-mitment to speak to pa-tients about firearm owner-ship and safety wheneverthey see risk factors. “Evi-dence shows that yourcounsel could save a life,”the publication tweeted.

The Centers for DiseaseControl also published newdata revealing that thedeath toll from gun violencehas begun increasing inrecent years after a brief lull.

Still, many doctors arekeen to point out that theyare not anti-gun.

Or even anti-NRA.“Doctors are not at war

with the NRA,” saidHeather Sher, a radiologistwho has worked in Level 1trauma centers for almost 17years, and cared for patientswith gunshot wounds fromtwo separate mass shoot-ings. Sher gained promi-nence after the Parklandshootings when the Atlanticpublished her article about

the damage caused by high-velocity bullets from a semi-automatic rifle.

“It is not an ‘us versusthem,’ issue,” Sher wrote inan email. “What we aretruly asking for is a comingtogether of both sides tofind a solution to this na-tional health problem.”

Still, some doctors whowere familiar with theworld of guns, couldn’tquell their upset. WestleyOhman, a vascular surgeonin St Louis, reset his pass-word on Twitter after anine-year hiatus.

“I fix blood vessels for aliving,” he tweeted. “Whenyou work at a major traumacenter, that means fixingblood vessels shredded bybullets. My lane is paved bythe broken bodies left be-hind by your products.”

But Ohman, who grew upamong guns in Texas, saidthe response surprised him.It covered “the whole spec-trum,” he said and was “notnearly as black and white asI would have expected.”Responsible gun owners, hesaid, are tired of the car-nage, too.

Richard Sidwell, atrauma surgeon in DesMoines and gun owner,joined the Twitter debate,arguing that his roles asNRA member and traumasurgeon “are NOT mutuallyexclusive.”

Some disagreed vehe-mently.

In an interview, Sidwellsaid the divisiveness made ithard to find the commonground necessary for im-proving gun safety.

“I am not anti-gun, I ownfirearms,” Sidwell said. “Iam anti-bullet hole.”

Sher, who initiallytweeted her sorrow aboutthe message the NRA hadpublished, got togetherwith a core group of col-leagues later in the weekand drafted a letter urgingfurther research and invit-ing the NRA to join forces.

In two days, she said,more than 23,000 doctorsand other medical profes-sionals have signed on.

“It is in the NRA’s bestinterest to help us be part ofthe solution,” Sher said.

WASHINGTON — Thebright-eyed class of incom-ing members of Congressdescended on the nation’scapital Tuesday for school-ing on the nuts and boltsunderpinning a job likenone other. But even asthey chose curtain colorsand sorted party invita-tions, the freshmen whovowed to change Washing-ton were getting an old-school education on politi-cal pressure from the veter-an lawmakers who want tolead them.

“I’m just trying to figureout what’s going on,” saidRep.-elect Tim Burchett,R-Tenn., a former memberof the state legislature.“We’re the small fish in avery big pond right now.”

Welcomed to Washing-ton by tight security and around of power receptions,the new members of Con-gress are a younger, morediverse group. The fresh-man class includes a recordnumber of women whodrove the most powerfulDemocratic sweep of theHouse since the Watergate

election of 1974. Democratspicked up 32 seats, withseveral races still unde-cided.

In a notable generationalhandover Tuesday, Rep.Sander Levin, 87, droppedoff his newly-elected son,Andy, 58, at a hotel near theCapitol where the fresh-men are staying and attend-ing orientation. As the retir-ing Michigan lawmakerdrove away, the youngerLevin — who will serve inhis father’s seat — headedinside pulling a rollawaysuitcase behind him.

There were other signsof change.

The most famous of thefreshmen, Alexandria Oca-sio-Cortez, posted a photoof the cover of the NewYorker magazine, whichdepicts incoming lawmak-ers of color pushing into acolorless room full of menwith the caption: “Knockknock.”

But Ocasio-Cortez, at 29the youngest woman everelected to the House,wasn’t just active on socialmedia. She stopped by aprotest in the office of thesenior-most DemocraticHouse veteran, Minority

Leader Nancy Pelosi, whopermitted the demon-stration by 200 or so activ-ists. Pelosi has pledged toreinstate a special commit-tee on climate change.

Pelosi also expectsDemocrats to elect herspeaker for the secondtime. Ocasio-Cortez hasnot said whether she’ll votefor the California Demo-crat.

Others, such as Rep.-elect Mikie Sherrill of NewJersey, have said they willoppose Pelosi.

But still other freshmenhave fallen in line. They’reunder pressure from pow-erful groups that supportPelosi and could be helpful— or not — in re-electionbids that effectively havealready begun.

“I think there’s tremen-dous value in experienceand knowing how to movelegislation and knowing ev-ery trick possible,” Rep.-elect Veronica Escobar, forwhom Pelosi campaigned,said in an interview. She’ssupporting Pelosi, she said,but there should be “aleadership pipeline” tocarry younger faces into theHouse’s highest ranks.

Rep.-elect Joe Cunningham holds his son Boone as the South Carolina Democrat arrives

Tuesday at orientation for new members of Congress. Dems picked up at least 32 seats.

New House class offers aglimpse of change in D.C.By Laurie KellmanAssociated Press

UTRECHT, Nether-lands — Self-styled pos-itivity guru Emile Ratel-band thinks age is just anumber. And his is a num-ber the Dutchman wantschanged.

The 69-year-old TV per-sonality has asked a court inthe Netherlands to approvehis request for a new birth-day that officially wouldmake him 49.

Ratelband says his legalappeal is consistent withother forms of personaltransformation that aregaining acceptance andgovernment recognition inthe Netherlands andaround the world.

“With this free(dom) ofchoice, choice of name,freeness of gender, I wantto have my own age. I wantto control myself,” he saidlast week.

Ratelband says he wantsto avoid age discriminationin society — especially ondating websites.

“So when I ask for amortgage, for example,they say it’s impossible,” hesaid. “If I go on Tinder, then

I get women from 68, 69when women are there.”

How about just beingeconomical with the truthabout his age?

“I don’t want to lie,” hesaid. “I want to be myself,so don’t force me to lie.”

Marjolein van den Brink,who specializes in humanrights and gender issues atUtrecht University’s lawschool, said age discrimi-nation is a problem but isdifferent than the issuesinvolved in reassigninggender.

“It’s quite clear thatelderly people have a muchsmaller chance of getting ajob than younger people,”she said. “But that’s just oneelement and it’s only some-thing that happens to youonce you reach the age of40, 45, 50, depending a biton your job.

“Whereas gender issomething that follows youfrom birth to grave, and itdetermines nearly every-thing — and not just in thelabor market but every-where,” she said.

In rare cases, even racehas also become more fluid.

In Britain, theater direc-tor Anthony EkundayoLennon has attracted at-tention in part because,despite being the son ofwhite Irish parents, helooks like a mixed-race

man. He has also writtenand told journalists that hethinks of himself as black.

He says he was raciallyabused as a teenager be-cause of his appearance,and when he started anacting career, he found iteasier to pursue non-whiteparts. He also took anAfrican middle name.

Now some black artistsare complaining becauseLennon was recently givena paid traineeship in aprogram designed to givemore black people a chancefor careers in the arts.

His case resembles insome ways that of RachelDolezal, a white woman inSpokane, Wash., who iden-tified herself as black aftershe was raised by religiousparents who had adoptedfour black children. Shewas working for theNAACP when her ruse wasuncovered in 2015.

Ratelband said theDutch government couldbenefit if it were to accepthis age demand. He saidhe’d be happy to forfeit hismonthly pension of around$1,370 — a concession heestimates would savenearly $343,000 over the20 years he wants shavedoff his age.

The court in Arnhem isexpected to issue a ruling inabout four weeks.

Emile Ratelband, 69, answers questions Thursday in Utrecht, Netherlands. He is ex-

pected to find out in a month whether a court will allow him to change his age to 49.

GLASGOW, Scotland —Jonathan has scars from hisformer life. Jagged scars onhis neck and the back of hishead. He has a history ofdrug abuse and assault.Some of the punches hethrew landed on police offi-cers.

But today his scars arepartly covered by a brightpink shirt and black apron.He leans across a gleamingcounter to hand over achicken wrap and fries. “Seasalt or chili salt?” he asks acustomer.

Jonathan, 28, works atStreet and Arrow, a cafe in a31-foot Airstream trailerthat offers second chancesalong with trendy streetfood.

The truck is run, at anarm’s length, by the Scottishpolice. It’s part of an ap-proach to tackling violencethat authorities say has hada notable impact on crime ina city with a rough reputa-tion, and it’s attracting at-tention in London and be-yond.

In 2005, the WorldHealth Organizationdubbed Glasgow the “mur-der capital of Europe.”There had been 83 homi-cides the previous year inthe Glasgow region, wheregangs were known for theirbooze-and-blades culture.

Police in Glasgow de-cided to rethink strategy.They set up a violencereduction unit guided bythe philosophy that vi-olence is like a public healthissue: Violent behaviorspreads from person to per-son. To contain it, you needto think in terms of trans-mission and risk, symptomsand causes.

“You cannot arrest yourway out of this problem,”said Niven Rennie, directorof the now-national Scot-tish VRU, a unit funded bythe government with a

budget of $1.6 million thisyear.

Scottish police pluckedideas from the Cure Vi-olence project in Chicago,Boston’s Operation Cease-fire and Homeboy Indus-tries in Los Angeles, amongother initiatives. Theyformed partnerships withlocal teachers, doctors andsocial workers.

They didn’t abandon tra-ditional policing. Shortly af-ter launching the VRU, po-lice ratcheted up stop-and-search and successfullycampaigned for legislationthat increased the maxi-mum sentences for carryinga knife. But increasingly,they emphasized the inter-ruption and prevention ofviolent behavior. They areintervening in hospitals,working with partners inschools and helping formeroffenders get back to work.

Meanwhile, over the pastdecade, Glasgow has seen a60 percent drop in homi-cides, and violent crime inScotland has fallen to his-toric lows.

The notion that the pub-lic health approach mayhave contributed to the de-cline has brought officersfrom as far afield as Canadaand New Zealand to Glas-gow to learn more.

And in London, whereknife crime has risen by 50percent in the past threeyears, Mayor Sadiq Khanrecently announced the cre-ation of a violence reduc-tion unit modeled on Scot-land’s. “We have listenedand researched the publichealth approaches in citieslike Glasgow, where theirown long-term approachover more than a decade hasdelivered large reductionsin violence,” the mayor saidin a statement.

Researchers urge cautionin assessing the impact ofScotland’s program. Theystress the difficulty of pin-pointing and disentanglingthe variables that influencecrime rates.

“There are a lot of factorsat play,” said Susan McVie, aprofessor of criminology atthe University of Edin-

burgh.Scottish police have been

“bold, they’ve been prog-ressive in a way that has nothappened in the city ofGlasgow before,” said Ali-stair Fraser, a criminologylecturer at the University ofGlasgow and author of abook on gang identity. Fra-ser said the VRU has beensuccessful at changing thenarrative about crime, buthe was hesitant about moreconcrete results. “There is ageneral sense it’s a goodthing,” he said, “but little inthe way of hard proof.”

The picture is compli-cated by statistics showingthat crime also has de-creased in areas of Scotlandwhere the VRU is not active.Other possible explanationsfor the decline include anti-knife campaigns in Scottishschools and a trend ofyoung people spendingmore time at home and lesslingering on the streets.

Some international com-parisons have also shownScotland to score relativelyhigh on assault rates, al-

though Scottish officialsdismiss the comparisonsbecause of different ways ofcounting and recordingcrime.

And yet there is consen-sus that Glasgow’s gangculture is not what it oncewas.

Growing up in Glasgow,there were places “you ab-solutely didn’t venture,”Humza Yousaf, Scotland’sjustice secretary, said as hesipped tea at the recentopening of the city’s secondStreet and Arrow cafe,staffed by former gangmembers and peopledeemed at risk of offending.Now, Yousaf said, “there’snot a place in Glasgow that Iwouldn’t go to.”

And individuals involvedwith Scotland’s anti-vi-olence efforts say they cansee the difference it is mak-ing.

Eddie Gorman, 53, spentmore than 20 years in pris-on before joining the VRU.He now works as one of theprogram’s “navigators,” pa-trolling emergency wards at

the Glasgow Royal Infirma-ry on Fridays, Saturdays andSundays — peak days forviolence — in hopes offinding people at a “reach-able moment.”

“We wear bright pinkT-shirts — it’s very non-threatening,” he said.“Sometimes, when I contactthem again after 24 hours,they don’t remember me ormy name, but they remem-ber the pink T-shirt.”

Soft-spoken but armedwith stories from his ownchaotic past, Gorman pointspeople in the direction ofhelp, whether that’s coun-seling, an alcohol recoveryprogram or housing.

Callum, 27, rememberswhen he first met a pink-shirted navigator. Early lastyear, he was rushed to thehospital after being stabbednine times. It was his 17thvisit to emergency room injust over a year. (Like othersinterviewed for this article,he spoke to The Washing-ton Post on the conditionthat only his first namewould be used, so thatfuture employers won’t im-mediately associate himwith his past.)

Callum said that when hedrank he became violent,but he didn’t know how tostop the cycle. After gettinghelp with his drinking, hewas offered a 12-month jobat the Street and Arrow foodtruck and 18 months ofmentorship. Today, he’s em-ployed as a mentor at thesecond Street and Arrowcafe.

Iain Murray, a police in-spector who oversees thesocial enterprise arm of theinitiative, including the ca-fes, said what they are doingis breaking the generationalcycle — that if young menand women turn aroundtheir lives, then their chil-dren are less likely to followthem down a path of vi-olence.

He said that about 150people have been throughthe program’s various em-ployment schemes and esti-mates that about 85 percenthave gone on to find otherjobs.

LONDON — Aftermonths of stalled talks,false starts and setbacks,negotiators from Britainand the European Unionstruck a proposed divorcedeal Tuesday to provide forthe U.K.’s smooth exit fromthe bloc.

But the agreement facesmajor political hurdlesstarting Wednesday, whenBritish Prime MinisterTheresa May will try to winthe approval of her dividedCabinet for a deal manyministers view with skepti-cism.

The British governmentconfirmed that the negoti-ating teams had reached a

draft agreement and theCabinet would hold a spe-cial meeting Wednesdayafternoon to consider theproposal. Its support isn’tguaranteed: May is underpressure from pro-Brexitministers not to make fur-ther concessions to the EUon the key issue of the Irishborder.

Irish national broadcast-er RTE said the draft agree-ment involves a commoncustoms arrangement forthe U.K. and the EU, toeliminate the need for bor-der checks, with specialprovisions for NorthernIreland and a review mech-anism to oversee its func-

tioning. A sticking point in talks

has been Britain’s insist-ence that any such customsarrangement must be tem-porary. The EU says that inorder to guarantee an openborder, it can’t have a timelimit.

Former Foreign Secre-tary Boris Johnson, astaunch “Brexiteer,” saidthe deal was unacceptableand Cabinet ministersshould “chuck it out.”

Pro-EU lawmakers, sayMay’s proposed Brexit dealis worse than the status quoand the British publicshould get a new vote onwhether to leave or to stay.

Bolton says tape doesn’t linkSaudi prince to critic’s death

SINGAPORE — U.S.National Security AdviserJohn Bolton said Tuesdaythat an audio recording ofjournalist Jamal Khashog-gi’s death inside a consul-ate in Istanbul did notappear to provide any linkbetween the killers andSaudi Crown Prince Mo-hammed bin Salman.

Bolton said that whilehe had not listened to thetape, “those who havelistened to it” concludedthat Saudi Arabia’s defacto ruler is not impli-

cated.Western and Turkish

officials say it would bedifficult to carry out suchan operation without theapproval of Mohammed.

According to a NewYork Times report, citingthree people familiar withthe recording, MaherAbdulaziz Mutreb, one ofMohammed’s body-guards, can be heard mak-ing a phone call afterKhashoggi’s death. “Tellyour boss,” he is reportedto have said.

George Zimmerman to serveprobation in stalking case

SANFORD, Fla. — AFlorida judge agreed to letformer neighborhoodwatch leader George Zim-merman serve probationfor a year after his attor-ney entered a no contestplea Tuesday to resolve amisdemeanor charge ofstalking a private investi-gator associated with adocumentary on the blackteenager Zimmermankilled.

Under a no contest plea,a defendant doesn’t admit

guilt, and a conviction iswithheld if the conditionsof the plea are met. Zim-merman wasn’t at thecourthouse during thehearing.

“Please counsel him,”Seminole County JudgeMark Herr told his attor-ney, Zahra Umansky.“Words do matter.”

The private investigatorsaid he had hoped the casewould have been handledas a felony rather than amisdemeanor.

Pilots: Boeing didn’t talk of newcontrol feature eyed in crash

Boeing didn’t tell airlinepilots about features of anew flight-control systemin its 737 MAX that report-edly is a focus of theinvestigation into lastmonth’s deadly crash inIndonesia, according toU.S. pilots who fly the jet.

Pilots say they were nottrained in new features ofan anti-stall system in theaircraft that differ fromprevious models of thepopular 737.

The automated system

is designed to help pilotsavoid raising the plane’snose too high, which cancause the plane to stall. Itautomatically pushes thenose of the plane down.

But if that nose-downcommand is triggered byfaulty sensor readings —as suspected in the LionAir crash — pilots canstruggle to control theplane, which can go into adive and perhaps crash,according to a Boeingsafety bulletin.

Photographer: It was waving, not Nazi saluteMILWAUKEE — The

parent who took a photo ofWisconsin high schoolboys giving what appears tobe a Nazi salute on the stepsof a local courthouse saidTuesday he was simplyasking the teens to wavegoodbye to their parentsbefore they headed to promand never anticipated the

image would draw wide-spread condemnation.

But Pete Gust, who has ason in the photo, said heunderstood why his photoof about 60 boys outsidethe Sauk County Court-house in Baraboo lastspring offended some peo-ple. About two-thirds of theboys have their right arms

raised in the gesture, manygrinning widely.

Gust maintained that hiscamera merely caught theboys’ wave prematurely,saying his “regret is I didn’tget to the apex.”

The Baraboo School Dis-trict is looking into thematter, and local police arehelping the investigation.

Juul haltsstore sales ofsome flavorede-cigarettes

NEW YORK — Thenation’s leading e-ciga-rette maker says it hashalted store sales of someflavors to deter use by kids.

The announcementTuesday by Juul Labs Inc.comes ahead of an ex-pected government crack-down on underage sales ofe-cigs.

Juul said it has stoppedfilling store orders for itsmango, fruit, creme andcucumber pods but notmenthol and mint. It willsell all flavors through itswebsite and limit sales tothose 21 and older.

The company said itwas closing its Facebookand Instagram accountsand pledged other steps tomake it clear that itdoesn’t want kids usingJuul products.

E-cigarettes are gener-ally considered a less dan-gerous alternative to regu-lar cigarettes, but healthofficials have warned thenicotine in them is harm-ful to developing brains.

(I) glanced over the Senate seats that will be up forre-election in 2020. On paper, they look better for theDemocrats. This year, the Democrats were defending26 seats, and the Republicans just nine. The Democrats’26 included 10 incumbents in states that PresidentTrump carried. In 2020, it’s the Republicans who’ll bedefending a majority of the seats — 22 out of 33.

That sounds hopeful, if you’re a Democrat. But if youlook at the map, you see that most of the Republican-held seats are in states that would elect a dog beforethey’d elect a Democrat.

Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Nebraska, Idaho,Wyoming — you get the picture. All told, there areabout 14 states where the idea of electing a Democrat tothe Senate is all but inconceivable, and another three orfour where it’s perhaps not inconceivable but wherethe stars would need to align just so. The numbers forcomparably Democratic states are perhaps 12 and Ithink zero. ...

Democrats simply must find, field and finance candi-dates who can win statewide in purple states. ... To dothis they need a rural policy — doing something realabout the opioid crisis, for starters. Emphasizing asmart rural broadband program.

Tom Vilsack, a former Democratic governor of Iowawho went on to be secretary of agriculture under Presi-dent Barack Obama, has outlined a “four-pillar” ruraland agricultural program that Democrats could adopt,including an emphasis on exports, economic diversifi-cation and conservation.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

On Tuesday Illinois lost out on a share ofup to 50,000 new, high-paying jobs. Afterconsidering 20 finalist cities, Amazonskipped past Chicago and chose two otherlocations, in New York City and northernVirginia, for a major expansion. Amazonalso announced plans to open an opera-tions center with up to 5,000 jobs in Nash-ville, Tenn., another finalist city.

That suggests Chicago wasn’t one ofAmazon’s top three choices. Looked atanother way, Amazon voted against Illinoisby a margin of 55,000-0. Last year, threeother major employers also rejected over-tures from Illinois: Foxconn picked a sitejust north of the state line in Wisconsin tobuild an electronics factory that will em-ploy 13,000 people, while Toyota andMazda chose Alabama for a joint assemblyplant.

What’s wrong with Illinois? Whatwould it take for this state to recover itsjobs mojo?

We’ve got our thoughts. But as Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker prepares to take office,this feels like the moment to encouragehim to explore those two questions.

We’ll try to restrain ourselves fromshouting to the rooftops — again — ourtheories for how to stop the exodus of jobsand residents from Illinois to states with

healthier economies. Amazon’s decision togo elsewhere isn’t on Pritzker. RepublicanGov. Bruce Rauner and the Democratic-controlled General Assembly, run by HouseSpeaker Michael Madigan and SenatePresident John Cullerton, were in chargeof state policy-making when Amazon CEOJeff Bezos bypassed Illinois.

Pritzker has an asset Rauner didn’t: Asa Democrat, he can confront legislators

with Illinois’ loss of stature as a jobs cre-ator. Where Rauner didn’t have leveragewith Madigan, Cullerton and the membersof their caucuses, perhaps they would bemore open to state government reforms.They no longer would see addressing prob-lems such as pensions and workers’ com-pensation as capitulating to a Republican.

For Pritzker there’s no more importanteconomic mission than regaining Illinois’competitiveness. Private sector jobs are thelife force of the state. Weak job growthhurts families and holds back cities andneighborhoods. Employees and their em-ployers are taxpayers. Without enough ofboth, the tax burden on everyone who’shere mounts as the state’s financial condi-tion deteriorates. Prospective employerslook at this spiraling mess and say: Nothanks, we’ll hire and invest elsewhere.

We don’t know Amazon’s specific rea-sons for rejecting Chicago, but we heardenough to know that the city meets manyof the company’s qualifications for a sec-ond headquarters. Where Chicago’s offerfell short, we suspect, is in the wobblinessof the state.

Until a few days ago, Amazon’s decisionto divide its investment between two citieswas unexpected. The choice of New Yorkis a surprise; for all its dynamism, New

York is crowded and expensive. Look alittle closer, though, and you’ll see thatNew York state’s finances are generallystable and it has a balanced budget. NewYork Democrats won control of the Senateon Nov. 6 and said — get this — theywouldn’t raise taxes. “We’re extremelysensitive to people to be able to afford tocontinue to live in New York,” SenateDemocratic leader Andrea Stewart-Cous-ins told a reporter in Albany.

Here in Illinois, the budget’s unbal-anced, bills are paid late, public debts aresky-high and no one knows the potentialcost to taxpayers because Springfield hasno cleanup plan.

This competition for Amazon wasn’t thelast such economic beauty pageant. Thedifference from this point forward in Illi-nois: A new governor is preparing to takeoffice. Maybe Pritzker, a Democrat, canfind ways to work with the General Assem-bly. That partnership eluded Rauner.

Gov.-elect Pritzker, we hope you’ll takeup the challenge — and succeed whereothers haven’t — in improving the state’sfortunes and thereby make Illinois attrac-tive to employers. Thousands of jobs, andthe future prosperity of Illinoisans, is onthe line.

Amazon’s message toGov.-elect Pritzker

Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker must make regaining

Illinois’ competitiveness a top priority.


Score a big win for public health author-ities who see teen vaping as a menace: JuulLabs, a prominent manufacturer of thoseflavored e-cigarette pods, declared Tues-day that it would stop selling many of thesein retail stores. The company also pledgedto end its social media promotions.

Just an example of a socially mindedcompany? Maybe.

But Juul execs and others in the industryclearly see the smoke signals rising fromWashington, Chicago and elsewhere. Spe-cifically:■ Food and Drug Administration Commis-sioner Scott Gottlieb is expected to ban thesale of most flavored vaping liquids —excluding tobacco and menthol — at thou-sands of retail stores and gas stations.These fruit- or candy-flavored liquids withfanciful names (“It’s Berry Fluffy”) targetthe young. The FDA reportedly also willimpose age-verification requirements foronline sales, to make sure that only adultsbuy the flavored liquids beyond tobaccoand menthol.■ Chicago’s City Hall is suing eight compa-nies that were caught selling the electroniccigarettes to people under 21 in the pastmonth. Mayor Rahm Emanuel says themarketing onslaught to lure children intovaping is familiar: “… I have seen this, youhave seen this, you’ve seen it from JoeCamel, you’ve seen it through the Marl-boro Man. They actually know exactlywhat they’re doing. ... It’s about addiction.”

Yes, Juul is doing the right thing. Othersin the industry already have announcedplans to follow suit; that should keep manyyoungsters from getting hooked on vaping.“Our intent was never to have youth useJuul,” Kevin Burns, chief executive of JuulLabs, said in an emailed statement. “Butintent is not enough. The numbers arewhat matter and the numbers tell usunderage use of e-cigarettes is a problem.”

E-cigarette use among the young defi-nitely is a growing public health epidemic.The government says that e-cigarette usehas soared 77 percent among high school-ers and nearly 50 percent among middle

schoolers in 2018, The Washington Postreports. Some 3.5 million young peoplenow vape, up by 1 million from 2017. Manyof those young people say that flavors are abig factor in their choice to vape. It’s sopopular that “juuling” is now a verb amongyoung people.

Putting all of this in context: A JAMAPediatrics study of 12- to 17-year-olds con-cluded that those who vape are twice aslikely to become regular tobacco userswithin a year. The more kids hooked onvaping, the more who’ll smoke cigarettes.

That brings urgency to efforts to squelch

this teen vaping epidemic. It’s more diffi-cult to reverse a trend than to stop it fromhappening, the FDA’s Gottlieb rightlypoints out. “What I can’t tolerate is anotheryear of this level of growth,” he told TheWall Street Journal. Nor should any Ameri-can.

Juul’s voluntary action and the upcom-ing federal regulation should be a clarioncall for parents, teachers, other adults: Ifyou aren’t doing so already, discourageyoungsters in your orbit from vaping. It’snot harmless.

Too often the sweet vapor turns into alethal halo of cigarette smoke.

E-cigarette use has soared 77 percent among high schoolers and nearly 50 percent among middle schoolers in 2018, authorities say.

Slamming shut a tobacco

gateway for teens


PERSPECTIVE

On the morning of May 3, 1982,my father read a story in TheWashington Post about a blackfamily in Maryland — the Butlers— who’d had a cross burned ontheir lawn in 1977. William M.Aitcheson, an “exalted cyclops” ofthe Ku Klux Klan, was chargedwith the crime.

Five years later, a federal judgehad ordered him to pay the But-lers a civil judgment of $23,000.Except Aitcheson evidently haddisappeared. When my fatherwent down to the Oval Office thatmorning, he announced that hewanted to go visit the Butlers —that day.

A little after 4 p.m., my fatherand mother boarded Marine One,flew to Maryland and a motor-cade took them along quiet ruralstreets to College Park Woods,pulling up to a tan brick home.Waiting for them were Barbaraand Phillip Butler, their 4-year-olddaughter, Natasha, and BarbaraButler’s mother, Dorothea Tolson.

My father had brought along ajar of jelly beans to give to them.My parents sat with them in theirliving room and listened to whatthey had been subjected to as oneof only five black families in thearea. A car had driven onto theirfront lawn and taken out theirlamppost. Garbage had been

dumped onto their property.Then came the cross burning.The cross was 6 feet tall andheavy. It was doubtful that Aitch-eson had carried out the burningalone, but he had been the onlyone charged.

“This isn’t something thatshould ever happen in America,”my father told them.

I’m very aware that my father’spolicies, especially on the subjectof welfare, did not make him

popular within the black commu-nity. One of my father’s complex-ities was that, just as he was phys-ically nearsighted, he could bemyopic in other ways. A story thathe could hold close, such as theButlers’, was something he in-stantly responded to and actedupon out of compassion andhumanity. But the larger, moredistant picture of thousands offamilies who would face hard-ships because of his policies

didn’t resonate in the same way. Itis too bad someone didn’t takehim into the homes of peopleaffected by welfare cuts; his poli-cies might have changed.

Thirty-five years later, anotherpresident learned of neo-Nazismarching through the streets ofCharlottesville, Va., which had ledto the death of a young womanwho bravely came out to counter-protest. His reaction: “There arevery fine people on both sides.”

This isn’t something thatshould ever happen in America.

We need to remember thiswhen a campaign ad put out bythe current president’s politicalteam is so racist that even FoxNews won’t run it. Or when Pres-ident Donald Trump proudlycalls himself a nationalist andberates black female journalists,calling their questions stupid andincompetent.

We need to remember, whenchildren are ripped from theirmothers’ arms and put intocages, that there was a timewhen such a thing wouldn’thappen in this country. Thesedays, when blatant racism hasbeen allowed to emerge from theshadows and sweep throughneighborhoods, so that youngblack boys are yelled at for mow-ing a neighbor’s lawn, we need tothink about how other presi-dents — including my father —

viewed leadership. He felt aresponsibility to comfort victimsof hatred. He accepted the giftand the burden of reminding usthat greatness is achieved, not bymight, but by how we treat oneanother as human beings.

We will never be free of history.There will always be the echoesof whips, and tree branchesscarred by ropes and the ghosts ofbodies swaying in the air. Ameri-ca’s darkest chapters shouldhaunt us all. They should alsoteach us about the cost of bigotry— the cost to our humanity, thecost to our souls.

But there will always be theechoes of small moments in ourhistory, too. Such as an afternoonwhen a man, moved by a story,visited a family and — knowingthe impact his visit would have,since he held the highest office inthe land — told them that preju-dice and hatred should not existin America. We need to remem-ber stories such as this, so that wecan find our way back to who weare supposed to be.

To those who complain that I neverseem to have anything positive to sayabout President Donald Trump, nowhear this: I appreciate his lack of abil-ity to hide his sexism and racism,among other odious -isms. Or maybeit’s simply a lack of interest.

I try to use the S-word and theR-word sparingly. The words spark somany different reactions that theresult often sheds more heat thanlight. But in this president’s case, whenthe shoe fits, he should wear it.

Sure. Trump is an equal-opportuni-ty offender in many ways. But race andgender have special power politically.Imagine, I often ask myself, howAmericans would react if PresidentBarack Obama behaved as Trumpdoes?

Remember the uproar in 2009 thatfollowed Obama’s comment that Cam-bridge, Mass., police behaved “stu-pidly” in arresting his friend, Harvardprofessor Henry Louis Gates, forbreaking into his own home? Stupid isas stupid does. (Thank you, Forrest

Gump.)Yet the uproar was considerably

more muted after Trump singled outand belittled three African-Americanfemale journalists — for simply doingtheir jobs, which is to ask our presi-dent questions that the public wouldlike to have answered.

For that, Yamiche Alcindor of PBSNewsHour, Abby Phillip of CNN andApril Ryan, a reporter for AmericanUrban Radio Networks and a CNNcontributor, ignited his contempt.

Alcindor’s offense? In the newsconference a day after the midtermelections, she asked Trump whetherhis recent characterization of himselfas “a nationalist” was “emboldeningwhite nationalists,” as many observersbelieve it does.

Trump interrupted her with a groanand responded, “I don’t know why yousay that, that is such a racist question.”He repeated that “racist” characteriza-tion twice more. Why did he think thequestion about racism was racist? Orwas he merely dodging the question tofire up his base, many of whom feelaggrieved by minority grievances?

Yet Alcindor asked a legitimatequestion. When Trump recentlyclaimed the “nationalist” label to de-scribe his “America first” views, DavidDuke, the former Ku Klux Klan leader,immediately tweeted his delight. Toparaphrase a line from Andrew

Gillum, the Democratic Tallahasseemayor and Florida gubernatorial can-didate: I’m not calling the president aracist, “I’m simply saying the racistsbelieve he’s a racist.”

“Sit down! I didn’t call you,” Trumpbarked at Ryan on Friday after shetried to ask him about alleged votersuppression in the midterm elections.“Such a hostile media, it’s so sad.”

Right. It’s the media who are hostilefor seeking presidential accountability.“You talk about someone who’s aloser,” Trump said of Ryan. “Shedoesn’t know what the hell she’s do-ing. She gets publicity and then shegets a pay raise, or she gets a contractwith, I think, CNN. But she’s verynasty and she shouldn’t be. You’ve gotto treat the White House and theoffice of the presidency with respect.”

And the president should treat therest of us Americans with respect too.

Phillip drew Trump’s contemptafter she asked whether he hopedMatthew Whitaker, Trump’s ap-pointee as acting attorney general,would “rein in” special counsel RobertMueller’s probe of Trump’s presi-dential campaign.

“What a stupid question that is,”Trump responded. “What a stupidquestion. But I watch you a lot. Youask a lot of stupid questions.” Again,what was “stupid” about that ques-tion? The president did not say. He

just walked away from Phillip and agaggle of other reporters shoutingquestions.

Of course, these presidential run-ins were overshadowed by the presi-dent’s biggest blowup of the week, thelifting of CNN chief White Housecorrespondent Jim Acosta’s WhiteHouse press pass for continuing to aska question after the president told himto sit down. CNN filed a lawsuit Tues-day morning against the president andothers in Team Trump, alleging thesuspension violated Acosta’s andCNN’s First and Fifth Amendmentrights.

I wish them luck. Acosta’s not black,and he’s not a woman. (His father wasa refugee from Cuba.) But like theaforementioned black women — plus awhite male reporter who tried todefend Acosta to Trump — the presi-dent lashed out at journalists for doingwhat journalists do.

Since I can’t read his mind, I can’tcall Trump a full-on racist. But hiscandid expressions of whatever hap-pens to be on his mind make it easy foreveryone to judge for themselves.

The 1950s in perspectiveI enjoyed Mary Schmich’s thoughtful

critique of 1950s white, middle-class lifeand culture, with all its limitations. (“Ah,the America of my childhood. So full ofbunk and bigotry,” Nov. 11.) As a white,middle-class baby boomer myself, I experi-enced all of them, some with special forcesince I lived in the rural South during thecivil rights movement. It was a scary time,with the KKK on the prowl and people likemy family at risk.

I’m sure that the critical email you re-ceived focused on the column’s omission ofthe good parts from that era. After all, therewere rising incomes, relatively low in-equality (compared with today), vibrantcommunity life, lower levels of some vi-olent crimes and much higher levels oftwo-parent families, especially in minorityand lower-income neighborhoods. In anycase, the column’s focus is perfectly rea-sonable and the criticism well made.

The cultural-political criticismsSchmich offers were themselves emanantin 1950s white culture, especially youthculture, and so were some bold policiesdesigned to address them (with varyinglong-term success). Within a few years, theU.S. had followed up the 1947 desegrega-tion of the military, the 1957 Civil RightsAct, and Brown v. Board of Education withthe 1960s Voting Rights Act, Civil RightsAct, mass desegregation across the South,LBJ’s war on poverty, mass protests againstthe Vietnam War, and so on.

Most of those changes had broad publicsupport, grounded in a sense (surely pre-sent, if somnolent, in the 1950s) thatAmerica’s historic promise of equality hadnot been extended to blacks and that thesocial safety net should be expanded toinclude more poor. In one sense, those actswere a rebellion against the quietude of the1960s. In another, they were deeply embed-ded in American life and values, includingthose of the 1950s. I hope that perspectiveis not too Pollyanna-ish.

— Charles Lipson, Chicago

Another 1950s perspectiveMary Schmich’s “Ah, the America of my

childhood...” fails to mention what wedidn’t have in the 1950s: school shootings,gang-dominated neighborhoods, rampantdrug addiction, and epidemics of suicideand depression.

Not a journalistSorry Leonard Pitts, you got it wrong.

There are journalists who do what journal-ists do, but Jim Acosta is not one of them.It’s not just about talking tough. Bill O’R-eilly is as tough an interviewer as theycome, but he is a journalist. He asked for-mer President Barack Obama many ques-tions that I know Obama didn’t like, but healways maintained respect for the office,allowed the answer and moved on. Itwasn’t a debate.

Jim Acosta is a hatchet man for a mediaoutlet, CNN, that despises President Don-ald Trump. He acted rudely, with totaldisrespect for both the office of the presi-dent and the forum, and tried to drawTrump into a debate. I was disgusted by hisconduct. I disagree with most of what Pittswrites, and a lot of what Steve Chapmanand Clarence Page write, but they are jour-nalists. Jim Acosta is not.

Owning the caravanCharacterizing women and children

fleeing the criminal Honduran governmentas unworthy undesirables is flat-out racistand a shameless attempt to hide the truth.The U.S. has spent billions propping upthat government’s corrupt leaders becausethey do what we ask in total disregard oftheir own people, and Hondurans haveseen the inevitable result — the worst law-lessness in Latin America.

These desperate escapees are wellwithin the legal definition of refugees.Who in their right mind would set out towalk more than 1,500 miles with theirchildren out of mere economic frustration?By sending these people back to be brutal-ized, we are abrogating internationaltreaties with hardly an argument or expla-nation other than our boundless self-inter-est and gullibility.

Our responsibility stretches from theIran-Contra era, when we treated Hon-duras like a land-bound aircraft carrier, toHillary Clinton’s desire to have its demo-cratically elected president, Manuel Ze-laya, overthrown. We essentially created acriminal paradise, and the result is thepoorest nation in Latin America behindHaiti. We would rather disavow our re-sponsibility than face the consequences ofour actions — millions of true refugees onour borders.

French President Emmanuel Macronrecently suggested it might be wise for theEuropean Union to build up its defensivecapabilities in order to protect itself fromthe likes of China, Russia and the UnitedStates. Only someone unwilling to explorethe ugly underside of our internationalrelations should be surprised.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

PERSPECTIVE

Between 1972, the date of the first of aseries of Shakman decrees, and the 2005“Hired Truck” scandal in Chicago, en-forcement operated on the honor system.

Except there was little honor involved.Following revelations of widespread

violations of the Shakman decrees (thanksto a federal criminal investigation), plain-tiffs in the Shakman case sought contemptfindings against the city of Chicago andCook County.

U.S. District Judge Wayne Andersenresponded by appointing complianceadministrators to monitor and report onwhat was actually going on in governmentemployment practices because the over-sight covers more than hiring — it moni-tors job assignments, advancement, over-time and other aspects of work and career.

The changes were major.■ First, compliance with court orders isno longer on the honor system. Compli-ance administrators report to the courtand the public on what is really happen-ing in the hiring and promotion of publicemployees. Judge Andersen and his suc-cessor, U.S. Magistrate Judge SidneySchenkier, supported their efforts andmade the process transparent and honest.Former Cook County Circuit Judge JuliaNowicki was appointed to oversee CookCounty government. She was succeededby attorney Mary Robinson. Nowicki andRobinson had the support of strong staffsof investigators and lawyers and did excel-lent, nonpartisan work.■ Second, Andersen and Schenkier en-couraged public officials to cooperate byoffering a way out of court oversight inreturn for eliminating patronage practicesand, equally important, putting in placesystems to prevent their reappearance.

I am one of the plaintiffs in the so-called Shakman case, and have been so foralmost half a century. In fact, the Shak-man decrees (a term that refers to a seriesof court orders directing governmentemployment reform) have become a fix-ture in Chicago and Illinois politics. Thisis a good time to take stock of where thislong-term initiative stands and how it hassought to reform patronage in Chicago,Cook County and the state of Illinois.

On Oct. 31, Cook County governmentwas released from federal court oversightof its employment system after almost 50years of litigation. That is good news fortaxpayers, for thousands of county em-ployees and for those who depend onCook County services. It shows that thefederal courts can accomplish majorreforms, especially when a public official,in this case Cook County Board PresidentToni Preckwinkle, supports the effort.

The county now joins Chicago, theCook County sheriff’’s office and the CookCounty Forest Preserve District in leavingfederal court oversight.

Still subject to federal court orders arethe governor’s office, the Cook Countyassessor, the Cook County recorder ofdeeds and clerk of the Cook County Cir-cuit Court. Although the city and countyare no longer under federal court supervi-sion, they remain subject to the law thatforbids patronage practices.

For the benefit of people who don’trecall why patronage reform is important,and why the recent accomplishments ofPreckwinkle and the county are signifi-cant, here are the facts.

In 1969, when the Shakman lawsuit wasfiled, there were almost 40,000 publicjobs in Chicago and Cook County thatwere filled on the basis of Democraticpolitical patronage. A similar system ex-isted in the suburbs and in state govern-ment, although the political party thatbenefited was Republican.

Patronage was serfdom. People whowanted to work for the government hadto apply to their committeeman, not to agovernment hiring department. The avail-ability of job openings was kept secret. Ifthe committeeman sponsored the appli-cant, the applicant got the job. But inreturn the employee had to pay a part ofhis or her salary to the committeeman,and had to do election work for the candi-dates supported by the committeeman —in perpetuity. Failure to comply meantbeing fired.

The patronage system was bad foreveryone but the politicians who used it toextort money and political work frompublic employees, and to control elec-tions. Employees lost their political free-dom. The public lost honest servicesbecause political work generated jobsecurity, while doing the government jobwell did not. The democratic process lostfair elections because public resourceswere hijacked for partisan purposes.

Not surprisingly, the courts found theemployment system unconstitutional.That was the easy part. Implementingreform has proved to be the hard part.

Some officials resisted. Others, like Preck-winkle, embraced the reforms and in-structed those involved in the county’semployment system to make it operatelawfully.■ Third, the compliance administratorsand those involved in the employmentsystem work together to put in placeprofessional practices. That has meantsuch practices as establishing defined jobduties, creating public notices of job open-ings, ending ad hoc hiring and setting up alottery for jobs that require minimumqualifications.■ Fourth, new employment systems hadto include procedures to enforce the newrules once court oversight of a Shakmandecree ended. For Cook County thatmeant building a compliance structureinto the personnel departments of eachmajor agency. It also meant turning overthe job of investigating and policing com-pliance to an independent inspector gen-eral.

As Judge Schenkier said when he ap-proved the request to end jurisdiction ofthe decree over Cook County, Preckwin-kle’s commitment is proof that we neednot be chained to the past. Other publicofficials who remain subject to the court’sorders can take note of what Preckwinkleand the county accomplished. If the oth-ers make similar commitments, they canend their status as defendants in one ofthe oldest cases on the federal court’sdocket.

I can then become a footnote in thehistory books, instead of an active litigant.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE 1970

Strap in, it’s all going to get crazier.More than a week after the final votes

were cast (but not necessarily counted),it’s now looking like the Democrats had ablue wave after all.

It didn’t seem like it at first. Electionnight was more of an emotional rollercoaster than you’d expect in a true rout. Asof this writing, many of the Democrats’favorite candidates didn’t win. And theRepublican sea wall was stronger andmore important than people realized.

The Senate map was the most favorablethat Republicans have seen in a century.Gerrymandering helped the GOP hold alot of House seats and even gain in theSenate. So did demographic sorting,which can look like gerrymandering butisn’t.

But the fact remains: The GOP had theworst midterms since Watergate. Demo-cratic gains among young people, thecollege-educated and, in particular, subur-ban Republican defectors were historicand will have long-lasting consequences.

The GOP coalition is shrinking andaging. The Democratic coalition is grow-ing and getting younger.

But it still doesn’t quite feel like it, inpart because President Donald Trumprefused to follow his predecessors’ exam-ple and admit defeat.

In 2006, under similar circumstances,President George W. Bush conceded hetook a “thumpin’.” In 2010, Obama ac-knowledged he was “shellacked.”

Trump, on the other hand, called theresults a “tremendous success” and a “bigvictory” proving that the American people“like me.”

It’s dawning on Democrats that theyhad a big night. The challenge, however, is

that it doesn’t mean much in the shortterm. Nancy Pelosi, the presumptive in-coming speaker of the House, can’t domuch to “check” Trump legislatively.

This puts the Democrats in a bindsimilar to the one the GOP was in underObama. A common talking point on thepopulist right is that the establishment“overpromised and underdelivered”during the Obama presidency. And that’strue.

But so did the populists. Both factionspromised that Congress could “stop”Obama and repeal Obamacare if they justhad enough votes, or if enough “RINOs”went along with a government shutdown.It wasn’t true. And that fueled an enor-mous amount of resentment on the right— resentment that cleared a path forTrump.

Now it’s the Democrats’ turn. Accord-ing to exit polls, the vast majority ofDemocrats favor impeaching Trump now.Many Democrats avoided talking aboutimpeachment, but they vowed to “holdTrump accountable.”

To be sure, the Democrats can investi-gate the president with all the intensity ofa zealous prison guard snapping on hisrubber glove to search for smuggled con-

traband. But that won’t stop Trump fromdominating virtually every news cycle andoccupying the head space of liberals on adaily basis for the next two years. Nor willit weaken the resolve of Trump’s base torally to his defense.

The things Trump does that most in-flame liberal passions are beyond theDemocrats’ power to check. He can stilltweet and troll the media with abandon.He can still use executive authority onimmigration. And he can still send anunprecedented number of judges overPelosi’s head to the Senate. (Gird yourloins now for the impotent Democraticrage that would follow if Trump gets athird Supreme Court pick.)

Pelosi may want to hold off on im-peachment proceedings, at least untilspecial counsel Robert Mueller releaseshis report. But it’s doubtful the Demo-cratic base shares her patience. And itremains unlikely that Mueller will findanything that would induce a third ofSenate Republicans to vote to removeTrump from office. (Removal requires 67Senate votes.)

This could create the same dynamicthat led 17 Republicans to throw their hatsinto the ring in the 2016 presidential pri-maries. The Obama team poured atten-tion on Trump because they thought itwould make the GOP look bad. Instead,they elevated him. It’s likely Trump couldpursue the same strategy with someDemocratic firebrand.

Trump never won a majority of pri-mary votes. He merely had a strong andloyal enough following to get a plurality ina divided field. The bigger the field, thefewer votes you need to win. The greaterthe passion in the base, the more incentivethere is to pander to it.

And that’s why it’s all going to get evencrazier.

PERSPECTIVE

Over the weekend, Sen. CoryGardner, R-Colo., who heads theNational Republican Senate Com-mittee, joined President DonaldTrump and Florida’s RepublicanGov. Rick Scott in fanning con-spiracy theories — baseless andirresponsible theories, that is —about possible vote-stealing inFlorida.

On Monday, a story ran in TheDenver Post under this headline:“Colorado Republicans’ conun-drum: Donald Trump and theunaffiliated voters who loathehim; Insiders say Cory Gardner’sre-election prospects are grimunless GOP can develop newmessage.”

The report went on to explain:“Before the election, ColoradoRepublicans controlled the stateSenate, occupied three of thestate’s five statewide offices andheld five of the state’s nine seatsin Congress. Then nearly 900,000unaffiliated voters cast theirballots and handed decisive victo-ries to Democrats.

“ ‘The barn has been com-pletely cleaned out,’ said DavidFlaherty, a Colorado Republicanpollster. ‘We’re trying to learnwhat motivated them. But you’rekidding yourself if you say Presi-dent Trump didn’t have some-thing to do with it.’ ”

As for Gardner, his home statepaper reports, “Democrats havenot been shy about their nexttarget: U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner.The Yuma Republican now willbe one of only two statewide GOPofficeholders, and his politicalfate is tied to how he and Republi-cans answer these existentialquestions. … In an interview withThe Denver Post on Thursday,Gardner didn’t shy away fromTrump — in fact, he invitedTrump and the entire Coloradocongressional delegation to Col-orado for a statewide tour.”

Umm. Do you get the senseGardner’s not paying attention —or is he in denial?

Gardner and fellow RepublicanSens. Susan Collins of Maine(where a Democratic governor

was elected), Thom Tillis ofNorth Carolina (where Demo-crats picked up both House andstate legislative seats), Joni Ernstof Iowa (where Democratsflipped House seats) and evenJohn Cornyn of Texas (whereBeto O’Rourke came within 3points of winning and multipleHouse seats flipped) might wantto keep a few things in mind ifthey want to hang on to theirseats. (Arizona Republicans eye-ing Sen. Jon Kyl’s seat should payattention if they want to keep aSenate seat in GOP hands.)

First, don’t go along with, par-rot or condone Trump’s anti-democratic, hateful, untrue anddestructive comments. In fact,

these lawmakers better startobjecting. This will be hard forCornyn, who is his party’s whip inthe Senate, but all of those quotesare going to come back to bitethem in 2020 if the country stayson its current trajectory.

Second, they should save thehand-wringing. Agonizing over avote, only to vote with the presi-dent — or to refuse to take actionto stop him — is not going towork. Voters are unimpressed iflawmakers have a witty Twitterfeed or constantly say they’re“concerned” or “worried” if theydo nothing to reach across theaisle to Democrats and take stepsto remedy whatever Trump is upto or to rebuke him for his vile

comments. (Call this the Sen. BenSasse rule.)

Third, they are not the admin-istration’s defense counsel athearings.

They are members of a co-equal branch of governmentcharged with oversight. Theyshould start acting like it. Thatmeans seriously questioningadministration witnesses, agree-ing to hold them in contempt ifthey refuse to provide informa-tion and voting against unquali-fied or radical nominees. In otherwords, they need to do their jobs.

Finally, foolish excuses (the taxplan won’t expand the debt!) andinept negotiating (if you don’t getwhat you want, vote against the

bill) won’t satisfy voters, either.These feints at independenceonly make lawmakers look weak.

In sum, there will be a batch ofSenate and some House seats forDemocrats to flip. Now that wom-en, college-educated, young andsuburban voters have woken upand screamed “Enough,” Republi-cans cling to Trump and curryfavor with the White House attheir own risk. If they want to winindependents’ and moderates’support, they better stop actinglike Trump lap dogs.

Amazon will split its second headquarters between

New York’s Long Island City and Arlington in

northern Virginia, the e-commerce giant said

Tuesday, ending Chicago’s hopes of adding a

highly coveted corporate name and thousands of

high-paying jobs to the city’s burgeoning tech sector.

The decision came more than a year after Amazon announced

it was searching for a second home. Chicago was among 238

cities and regions that submitted proposals for the project

known as HQ2, and it was one of 20 remaining contenders when

the list was narrowed in January.

Amazon also announced Tuesday that it has selected

Nashville, Tenn., as the site of a new operations center, which it

said will create more than 5,000 jobs.

If Amazon had chosen Chi-cago for HQ2, the projectcould have redefined the city’seconomy by bringing in amajor new corporate player.Landing HQ2 also would haveraised the status of the techindustry in Chicago, whichoften lags Silicon Valley, NewYork and Boston on lists of thebest places for tech employ-ment. Amazon did not say

publicly why it passed onChicago, but in announcing itsdecision, the company tippedits hat to the talent pool on theEast Coast.

Now local leaders mustfigure out on their own how tomake Chicago a stronger mag-net for technology talent.

After a year of preparation for the coveted HQ2,

Amazon didn’t choose Chicago. Now city leaders

must figure out what it takes to attract tech talent

agency figured the cities thatweren’t chosen would be feelinga little bruised. (Like Chicago,McGarrah Jessee’s hometownwas among the also-rans.)

And what better medicinethan an apology from Amazon’sown technology?

“Speaking of comedy, that’swhy we didn’t go with you,”Alexa tells Chicagoans. “We wereintimidated by your comedicprowess. Improve, sketch, stand-up. You’re too funny, Chicago. Wecan’t match that wit and spot-ondelivery.

“Well, the delivery thing wecan do.”

Apologies are hard to come by,said Britton Upham, chief op-erating officer at McGarrah Jes-see. The team that created thisapplication thought it’d be nice tohave them on demand. GettingAlexa to essentially have Amazonapologize was a perfect use forthe application, Upham said.

Hopes were high for HQ2 inChicago. The city was among 238

cities and regions that submittedproposals for the project, and itwas one of 20 remaining contend-ers when the list was narrowed inJanuary. HQ2 search teams vis-ited the city multiple times.

In the end, though, Chicagodid not win, as Alexa so aptlypoints out.

“Although you are the WindyCity we couldn’t make you theW-I-N-dy city,” she says. “Sorryfor that one. Even with thecognitive computational powerof our servers, that joke was thebest we could do.”

“Hello, Chicago. Sorry aboutthe HQ2 rejection, but if it’s anyconsolation you were the SecondCity we chose. Get it?”

That’s Amazon’s virtual assist-ant Alexa talking, apologizing forthe company’s decision to put itshighly sought-after second head-quarters elsewhere. The e-com-merce giant said Tuesday that itwill split HQ2 between NewYork’s Long Island City andArlington in northern Virginia.

But the mea culpa is not reallycoming from Amazon. Austin,Texas-based ad agency McGar-rah Jessee built an applicationearlier this year that allows usersto ask for an apology from Alexa.Typically, the application hasAlexa atone for injustices beyondher control, such as lousyweather or barking dogs.

Two U.S. pilots unions say thepotential risks of a safety featureon Boeing Co.’s 737 Max aircraftthat has been linked to a deadlycrash in Indonesia weren’t suffi-ciently spelled out in their manu-als or training.

Boeing and the Federal Avia-tion Administration issued direc-tives last week telling flight crewsabout the system, which is de-signed to provide extra protec-tion against pilots losing control.That prompted aviators, unionsand training departments to real-ize that none of the docu-mentation for the Max aircraftincluded an explanation of thesystem, the union leaders said.

“We don’t like that we weren’tnotified,” said Jon Weaks, presi-dent of the Southwest AirlinesPilots Association. Dennis Tajer,a 737 captain and spokesman forthe Allied Pilots Association atAmerican Airlines Group Inc.,said his union’s members werealso concerned.

The complaints from pilotunion leaders at Southwest Air-lines Co. and American are sig-

nificant because of the size ofthose carriers’ 737 fleets and theirMax purchases. Southwest is thelargest operator of the 737 Maxand has the most on order with257 of the jets yet to be delivered.American, the world’s largestairline, has outstanding ordersfor 85 of the planes.

“This is not about silos andlayers of bureaucracy, this isabout knowing your airplane,”Tajer said. “We will always beeager and aggressive in gainingany knowledge of new aircraft.”

A bulletin from APA to Ameri-can’s pilots said details about thesystem weren’t included in thedocumentation about the plane.

“This is the first description you,as 737 pilots, have seen,” it said.

“The companies and the pilotsshould have been informed,”Weaks said. “It makes us ques-tion, ‘Is that everything, guys?’ Iwould hope there are no moresurprises out there.”

Boeing said it is confident inthe safety of the 737 Max familyof jets.

“We are taking every measureto fully understand all aspects ofthis incident, working closelywith the investigating team andall regulatory authorities in-volved,” the company said in a

Some of the biggest names inbroadcast television havereached a settlement with gov-ernment regulators after theJustice Department filed a law-suit alleging that the companiesshared private information withone another in ways that allowedthem to subtly manipulate TV adprices.

The settlement covers sixcompanies: Sinclair BroadcastGroup, Raycom Media, TribuneMedia, Meredith Corp., GriffinCommunications and Dream-catcher Broadcasting. And itforbids them from sharing non-public information about adsales for a period of seven years.

“The unlawful exchange ofcompetitively sensitive informa-tion allowed these televisionbroadcast companies to disruptthe normal competitive processof spot advertising in marketsacross the United States,” MakanDelrahim, the Justice Depart-ment’s antitrust chief, said in astatement.

By sharing advertising salesdata, the companies gained in-sight into each other’s opera-tions that they would not havehad otherwise, according to theJustice Department’s lawsuit.

The added information gave

them the ability to developspecialized pricing strategiesand greater leverage over adver-tisers when negotiating withthem for deals.

The settlement follows aclass-action suit filed by adver-tisers in August claiming that themedia companies had conspiredto fix the price of TV advertising.

It reflects the Justice Depart-ment’s heightened scrutiny ofthe increasingly concentratedmedia industry.

In recent months, the agencyhas continued to fight its unsuc-cessful lawsuit to block AT&T’smerger with Time Warner (nowrenamed WarnerMedia).

Four of the companies didn’timmediately respond to a re-quest for comment. Meredithsaid it disagreed with the allega-tions but thought it was in thecompany’s best interest to enterinto the settlement.

“Importantly, the settlementdoes not require Meredith to payany penalty, includes no admis-sion that any law has beenviolated, and will not require usto change our current businesspractices,” the company said in astatement.

Tribune Media called the is-sue a “distraction” and said itwas glad to put it behind thecompany “in a way that has nooperational effect.”

The midterm electionsthat saw the Democratsretake the House and Re-publicans widen their leadin the Senate was a boon totraditional media compa-nies, who raked in hugesums of money on politicaladvertising.

That could have an ef-fect on corporate bottomlines — and on a distantrealm deep in the enter-tainment landscape.

The totals spent by cam-paigns and interest groupson advertising in 2018were staggering. If a fewcommercial breaks worthof television-viewing thisfall didn’t already tell youhow open the walletswere, the professionalslaid it out. The advertising-research firm Borrell As-sociates estimates that asmuch as $8.9 billion waslaid out to promote candi-dates in Tuesday’s races.

More than half that, thegroup says, lay in the areaof traditional television ad-vertising, which remainsthe most effective way toreach the most people atonce, especially olderdemographics most likelyto vote. “Broadcast TV isreaping the biggest bountyof this year’s hotly con-tested elections,” the com-pany said in its report.

That means a whole lotof cash went to the bottomlines of the country’s largeentertainment conglomer-ates.

In the quarter leadingup to the election, ComcastUniversal reported a gainin advertising revenue of$380 million compared tothe previous year, much ofit from political spending.

CBS took in nearly $400million in additional adrevenue in its most recentquarter, also, it said, largelybecause of political adspending.

21st Century Fox, mean-while saw advertising rev-enue climb 38 percent to$168 million, driven by“higher political advertis-ing revenue related to themidterm U.S. elections atthe TV stations,” it said inits quarterly earnings re-port Wednesday. Disneywhich will report its quar-terly earnings Thursday, isexpected to see a majorbump as well.

The conglomerates stillhold significant stakes inthis sector via the so-called“O&O’s” — owned-and-operated TV stations, re-lationships that date all theway back to the middle ofthe 20th century.

Fox is, by station, thebiggest player in this game,with 17 such O&O’s. Thatallowed the company tobenefit handsomely in re-cent months. The RupertMurdoch conglomerateowns stations in threemarkets in Florida, whichsaw a flurry of advertisingin contested gubernatorialand Senate races, as well asstations in Dallas andHouston, key sites in thebattle between incumbentTexas Sen. Ted Cruz, R,and Democratic challeng-er Beto O’Rourke, whichCruz won.

Many of the other con-glomerates aren’t far be-hind. Disney owns stationsin the country’s three larg-est cities; its propertiesincludes markets in Illi-nois and Pennsylvania,which featured a bevy ofhot races. CBS has stationsin the two biggest Pennsyl-vania markets, as well as inSouth Florida and NewYork, all places with in-tense electoral fights.Comcast has a similar mixwith its NBC O&O’s.

(It may seem surprisingthat these giant companiesare still in game of owningthe local television station.Outfits with such scalewouldn’t seemingly want

to bother with a businessso seemingly parochial;WVIT Hartford isn’t ex-actly a global superherofranchise.

But these relationshipsand the reliable ad dollarsthey provide have provedremarkably durable — andrevenue-yielding — in atime of so much digitalcompetition. WVIT isowned by Comcast-NBCUniversal, a relationshipthat began when Eisen-hower was coasting to asecond term.)

This means the con-glomerates took in sacks ofcash they rarely collect innonpresidential years. Inthe midterms four yearsago the total outlay, ac-cording to one tally, wasjust $1.9 billion. This camein at more than quadruplethat.

The question now iswhat they’ll do with allthese newfound riches.

While companies don’tbreak out where they in-vest profits, one areathey’ve been desperatelyhungry for cash is in televi-sion content. Contentcosts have risen greatly inthe past several years,powered by the influx offree-spending technologyplayers such as Netflix andAmazon, and the con-sumer expectation formore and better showsthat comes with them.(Amazon’s chief executive,Jeff Bezos, owns TheWashington Post.)

Netflix backed up thetruck for “The Crown”($10 million/episode) and“Stranger Things” ($8 mil-lion), according to a reportlast year in the trade publi-cation Variety.

In response, broadcastnetworks and the studiosthat feed them have beenspending more to competeso that these productionscan look a lot closer toNetflix and a lot less likethe usual broadcast fare,which in the past cost justa few hundred thousanddollars per episode. Afterall, consumer eyeballsmake no distinction be-tween these platforms.

So spend they have. Sit-coms on broadcast haveclimbed as high as $3million per episode, ac-cording to the Variety re-port. Network dramas like“Chicago Fire” (NBC’sUniversal Television) and“This Is Us” (TwentiethCentury Fox Television)look as slick as they dobecause their budgets arehigher — used to hirebigger-name directors,employ more sophis-ticated cameras, shootingtechniques and generallyupping the polish.

This is true on cable too— TNT’s “The Alienist”earlier this year ran to abelt-popping $7.5 millionper episode, as producersdidn’t stint on re-creatingthe 18th-century sets.

While conglomeratescan use an injection ofseveral hundred milliondollars in multiple ways —different “capital alloca-tion priorities for everyowner,” as Bryan Wieser ofanalyst at New York-basedanalyst firm Pivotal put it— spending more on con-tent is widely regarded asthe greatest priority forthese companies, as theylook not to be left behind inthe era of Peak TV. Andthanks to political adver-tising, they now have a lotmore cash with which todo it. The infusion willallow them to pour moremoney into already-ex-pensive shows and uppingtheir investment in lower-cost ones.

As midterms fade and alull sets in before presi-dential campaigning,viewers will get a breakfrom political advertising.But when they turn ontheir TV’s, they’ll certainlysee its effects.

based software companyOcient. “Are we able to winour share and more thanour share of those?”

Many members of Chi-cago’s tech industry say thecity will benefit from itsstatus as an HQ2 finalist,even though Amazon ulti-mately decided to go else-where. Matt Garvey, direc-tor of recruiting at Chicago-based software companyRelativity, said that when hetalks to job candidates indifferent cities, he pointsout that Chicago was onAmazon’s list of finalists. Heplans to keep touting thatfact even though Chicagoultimately lost.

“That to me speaks vol-umes, just being consid-ered,” he said. “There werethousands of cities aroundthe U.S. that weren’t and wewere.”

Ultimately, not being se-lected won’t change muchfor Chicago’s tech industry,said Betsy Ziegler, CEO oflocal tech hub 1871, whichJ.B. Pritzker helped found.

“It’s not like it was hereand it got taken away fromus,” Ziegler said.

speed things up because it’sa big infusion of opportuni-ty for the talent, but thatdoesn’t mean we can’tspeed up … with othercompanies,” former U.S.Commerce Secretary PennyPritzker said.

Last month, Pritzkerlaunched an initiative calledP33 that brings togetherleaders from a variety ofindustries and universitiesin an effort to vault Chicagointo the top tier of the techworld.

“We have a lot to offer,”Pritzker said. “If we take anaggressive and coordinatedand unified step towardbuilding our innovationecosystem, Chicago canpunch at its weight class orabove.”

The state’s many uni-versities pump out gradu-ates in computer scienceand other tech-relatedfields, and there are grow-ing companies in Chicagowhere those workers canland, Pritzker said. But shealso said the city needs to doa better job of both helpinglocal companies grow andkeeping tech workers fromleaving.

Chicago needs to becomea place where startups cangrow into multimillion-dol-lar companies, said SoniaNagar, vice president atPritzker Group VentureCapital, a firm founded byPritzker’s brother, Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker. PennyPritzker is not involvedwith the firm.

That type of success at-tracts talent and invest-ments, Nagar said.

“When investors makemoney in a city they comeback and will continue toinvest,” she said. “Investorslove to fall back on pat-terns.”

Though Google andFacebook have offices inChicago, Amazon’s HQ2would have become thelargest consumer-facingtech operation in the city.

People want to work atcompanies whose servicesthey know and use daily,and Amazon, because it is ahousehold name, wouldhave helped bring moretech talent to Chicago, saidTrisha Degg, vice presidentof talent programs and op-eration at Illinois Technol-ogy Association. Now thecommunity needs to step upto build that pipeline, Deggsaid.

“If we are going to do anywork to attract talent fromany other city, be it thecoasts or Detroit, we need tomake the overall communi-ty attractive, not just ourtech scene,” she said. “Ama-zon would have been part ofthat. (It) would have accel-erated a lot of things.”

Amazon’s decision to by-pass Chicago disappointedlocal leaders and developersthat proposed sites to thee-commerce giant. Butmaking it to the final 20 willhelp the city going forward,they say.

“The fact that (the citywas) on the short list showsthat they recognize what agreat place Chicago is, withits universities and smartyoung people who want tolive in a great downtown —which there are only acouple of in the UnitedStates,” said Curt Bailey,president of Related Mid-west. The company’s 62-acre site along the ChicagoRiver, in between the SouthLoop and Chinatown, wastwice visited by Amazon.

Amazon plans to put itsNew York location in theLong Island City neighbor-hood of Queens and itsVirginia offices in an areaaround Reagan NationalAirport that includes Crys-tal City and Pentagon Cityin Arlington and PotomacYard in neighboring Al-exandria. Amazon and localofficials are rebranding thearea “National Landing.”

Asked why Chicago’s bidfor Amazon failed, MayorRahm Emanuel said he hadinsights thanks to a phonecall he had Tuesday morn-ing. He declined to offerspecifics, however, citingthe need to keep such con-versations private as the citycompetes for corporations.But he did allude to “whatthey offered in subsidies.”

“I think what you shouldunderstand: We have thefundamentals, so did othercities have fundamentals,”he said after an unrelatedevent. “There is a differencein the way they offeredincentives versus ours, but Ihappen to think, as I’ve

always said, our fundamen-tals are strong, which is whywe succeed more thanever.”

Amazon is slated to re-ceive incentives of $1.5 bil-lion for the New York proj-ect and $573 million inVirginia, contingent on itscreation of 25,000 jobs ineach area with an averageannual salary of more than$150,000. Chicago and Illi-nois together offered morethan $2 billion in incentivesfor the full 50,000 jobs thecompany originally promis-ed.

Emanuel said Chicagoneeds to keep strengtheningits tech economy. “Thereare some things we need tocontinue to build on, andthat is making sure that wehave a tech economy that is— it has been a focus of mine— that is actually world-class,” he said.

“If you compete, youhave the opportunity towin. You also have theopportunity not to be suc-cessful,” Emanuel said.“That said, Chicago haswon more than it has lost,and we actually have arecord to show for that.”

Economic incentivesplayed a role in Amazon’sdecision, but attracting toptalent was the main driver.The company said it se-lected New York City andnorthern Virginia because itwas “looking for a locationwith strong local and re-gional talent.”

Efforts to meet Amazon’sdemand for tech talent inthose cities have alreadybegun. Moments after Ama-zon made its selection pub-lic, Virginia Tech an-nounced a $1 billion projectto build a new campus 2miles from Amazon’s se-lected office site. The newgraduate campus will focuson tech education and re-search. The university saidthe plans played a role inattracting Amazon.

Chicago’s size and infra-structure made it a solidcontender, but site selectionexperts said they weren’tshocked to see it jilted.

In addition to access totalent, both northern Vir-ginia and New York offeredunique strategic advan-tages: proximity to regula-tors in Washington, D.C.,and the financial industry,respectively, said TomStringer, who leads the siteselection practice at ac-counting and consultingfirm BDO.

The decision to split theproject between two loca-tions likely leveled theplaying field between the 20finalists by reducing thescale of the demands on anyone city, said Robert Hess,vice chairman of NewmarkKnight Frank’s Global Cor-porate Services practice,who said he advised NewYork on its proposal.

But if Amazon was goingto choose multiple loca-tions, there are advantagesto picking sites in relativelyclose proximity, where em-ployees can work in thesame time zone and easilytravel between them whennecessary, Hess said.

Illinois’ reputation forfiscal problems and percep-tion of crime in Chicagocould have hurt the city’schances, experts said.Emanuel’s decision to notseek another term next yearalso may have given Ama-zon pause, said JamesBeatty, president of Omaha,Neb.-based site selectionconsultant NCS Interna-tional.

“As a company, I wantChicago, or whoever it

might be, to be able to standby their bid without hesita-tion” even if there’s achange in leadership, hesaid.

While HQ2 won’t becoming to Chicago, thecompany continues to havea large and growing pres-ence in Illinois.

Amazon already employsmore than 12,000 people inthe state. They work atfulfillment centers, campuspick-up locations, a re-search and development of-fice, and other sites. Thecompany has opened twocashierless Amazon Gostores in the city sinceSeptember and has an-nounced plans for twomore.

Though Amazon’s HQ2search attracted enormousattention, tech entrepre-neur Chris Gladwin, who isleading the P33 initiativewith Penny Pritzker, saidthere are plenty of lesspublicized decisions thatwill determine the future ofChicago’s economy and itstech industry. It’s not justthe corporate relocationsthat play a part, he said, it’salso people determiningwhere to accept a job ormove after they graduate.

“Those decisions getmade a million times a year,”said Gladwin, the CEO andco-founder of Chicago-

Assemblyman Ron Kimvowed to introduce legis-lation that would redirectthe city’s economic devel-opment subsidies to buy-ing up and canceling stu-dent debt, Splinter Newsreported, effectivelyblocking Cuomo from of-fering taxpayer money toAmazon.

In a statement, Amazonfounder and Chief Execu-tive Jeff Bezos painted theselection of two majorEast Coast cities as ameans of keeping thecompany competitivewhen it comes to talent.(Bezos owns The Wash-ington Post.)

“We are excited to buildnew headquarters in NewYork City and NorthernVirginia,” Bezos said.“These two locations willallow us to attract world-class talent that will help usto continue inventing forcustomers for years tocome. The team did a greatjob selecting these sites,and we look forward tobecoming an even biggerpart of these communities.”

The prospect of a rise inhousing costs in two citiesknown for scarce afford-able housing is a chiefconcern for many. SinceAmazon’s arrival, Seattlehas become one of thenation’s most expensiveplaces, forcing lower-in-come residents to move tofar-off suburbs.

Even those in areas thatwould benefit indirectlyfrom the deal were put offby the company’s song-and-dance since thesearch for HQ2 was an-nounced last year.

“Of course Jersey Citywould benefit if it’s in NYbut I still feel this entireAmazon process was a bigjoke just to end up exactlywhere everyone guessedat the start,” Jersey CityMayor Steven Fuloptweeted the day before thedeal was announced.

The drawn-out theaterof Amazon’s decisionTuesday to split its secondheadquarters betweenNew York’s Long IslandCity and suburban Virgin-ia’s Crystal City was metwith a maelstrom of criti-cism from some local offi-cials and professionals.

While Amazon hastouted the prosperity theheadquarters would bring— pledging to make $5billion in capital invest-ments and create 50,000jobs between the twoheadquarters — politi-cians voiced concerns thatthe influx of tech workerswould fuel inequality andhurt lower-income popu-lations. Others slammedthe company for settlingon obvious cities after alengthy search that drew238 bids, including manyfrom smaller cities in needof the “transformation”Amazon promised.

While New York Gov.Andrew Cuomo imploredAmazon to come to NewYork City, reportedly say-ing he’d change his nameto Amazon Cuomo if that’swhat it took, local politi-cians were wary. Beforethe announcement, NewYork City council memberJimmy Van Bramer andstate Sen. Michael Gia-naris published a jointstatement in the YonkersTribune criticizing the useof “scarce public re-sources” as “massive cor-porate welfare.” Now, VanBramer and Gianaris areteaming with local activistgroups to protest Ama-zon’s plans on Wednesday.

“Say no to the richestcompany in the worldrobbing over $1 billionfrom state funding for ourschools, transit and hous-ing,” the ad for the protestreads.

Southwest’s flight opera-tions division to its pilots onNov. 10.

When the system sensesthe plane is close to losinglift on the wings, it auto-matically commands a low-ering of the nose to counter-act the risk.

However, the chief sen-sor used to predict a loss oflift — known as an angle-of-attack vane — was malfunc-tioning on the Lion Airflight. It essentially trickedthe system into ordering asharp dive.

Pilots are drilled on howto cut power to the so-calledtrim system if the planestarts to dive or climb on itsown, but that procedurewas never linked directly toa malfunctioning angle-of-attack sensor in training orthe documentation.

“At the present time, wehave found no instances ofAOA anomalies with our737 Max 8 aircraft,” the APAbulletin said, referring toangle of attack as AOA.“That is positive news, but itis no assurance that thesystem will not fail.”

Because the system isonly designed to operate inrare conditions while pilotsare manually flying, “pilotsshould never see” the sys-tem in operation, accordingto the Southwest memo. Asa result, Boeing chose not toinclude a description of it inthe extensive manuals itprepared for the Max mod-els, said the memo.

That reasoning doesn’tmake sense, said Roger Cox,a retired investigator withthe U.S. National Trans-portation Safety Board anda former airline pilot. Flightcrews have a right to beconcerned that detailsabout the new system wer-en’t included in manualsand the short trainingcourses they were requiredto take before flying theupgraded 737, Cox said.

“I would be pretty (ex-pletive) about not beingtold,” he said. “This is im-portant systems informa-tion that pilots should knowabout.”

statement by email. “Safetyremains our top priorityand is a core value foreveryone at Boeing.”

Few details have beenreleased about the under-lying causes of the Lion Aircrash Oct. 29 in the sea nearJakarta, but Indonesian in-vestigators say that an erro-neous sensor prompted theplane’s computers to pushthe aircraft into a steep dive.A new safety measure add-ed on the Max models toprevent pilots from losingcontrol is what caused theplane to point downward,according to the FAA andBoeing.

A long-standing pro-cedure taught to pilotscould have halted the dive,according to the regulatorand the manufacturer. TheFAA ordered airlines to add

an explanation into flightmanuals.

Indonesia’s NationalTransport Safety Commit-tee is continuing to searchfor the plane’s crash-proofcockpit voice recorderunder the sea, it said Mon-day. The investigativeagency plans to release apreliminary report betweenNov. 28 and 29, a monthafter the crash, as mandatedby international treaty.

The FAA, which certifiedthe plane, said in a state-ment it couldn’t commenton the matter while theinvestigation in Indonesiaremains open. The FAA’semergency directive re-quired that U.S. carriersrevise flight manuals andsaid the agency “will takefurther action if findingsfrom the accident investiga-tion warrant.”

While the design of the

Max has been under aspotlight since the accident,other factors in the crashcould eclipse it in impor-tance.

They include questionsabout how maintenancewas performed after prob-lems arose on at least threeprior flights of the Lion Airjet and the actions of thepilots on its last flight.

When Boeing designedits latest version of the 737, itadded the new safety fea-ture to combat a loss of lift,which is a leading contrib-utor to the loss-of-controlaccidents that by far causethe most crash deathsaround the world.

Known as the Maneuver-ing Characteristics Aug-mentation System, it wasadded “to compensate forsome unique aircraft han-dling characteristics,” ac-cording to a bulletin sent by

TOKYO — Naomi Osakaused a powerful forehandand a matching serve towin the U.S. Open againstSerena Williams twomonths ago, soaring ashigh as No. 4 this season inthe WTA tennis rankings.

Off the court — on themarketing front — she hasthe same potential. Maybemore.

“It’s very, very rare tofind a Japanese-born fe-male athlete who appealsto an international audi-ence,” said Bob Dorfman, asports marketing expertand creative director atBaker Street Advertising inSan Francisco.

Serena Williams toppedthe Forbes list of the high-est-earning female athletesthis year at $18 million,almost all endorsements.

Osaka appears to be theright woman in the rightsport at the right time withthe draw to overtakeWilliams.

“What’s more, tennis,especially women’s tennis,is a sport that lends itself toa broad variety of sponsors:sporting goods, health andbeauty, fashion, lifestyle,travel, personal care, youname it,” Dorfman said.“And the sport’s interna-tional following bringswith it a large, loyal andaffluent fan base. All themore reason why so manycompanies are lining up tosign her up.”

The big question is: Can

she keep this up? Much has happened

very quickly for her, notesformer tennis star ChrisEvert.

“You know, it’s going tobe life-changing for herand very, very important,”Evert said. “From what Isee, she is very humble andfrom what I see, her par-ents are very humble peo-ple. Hopefully they won’tgo Hollywood on us. Wedon’t want that to happen.”

Osaka’s multiculturalbackground — Japan-bornbut raised in the U.S. by aHaitian-American fatherand a Japanese mother —adds to her wide appeal,endearing her to fans inJapan and elsewhere.

Her disarming charm,off and on the court, in-cluding how she handledthe turmoil surroundingher win over Williams, isalso winning people over.

“She appeals to theyoung and old, men andwomen, everyone,” saidShigeru Tanaka, advertis-ing manager at Citizen, hersponsor since August.

Tokyo-based CitizenWatch Co.’s $700 NaomiOsaka watch is selling outat stores in Japan, thanksto the exposure it got onher wrist at the U.S. Open.

Citizen was quick totake advantage of herGrand Slam win, takingout a one-third page ad inthe Yomiuri newspaper’sextra edition report of herwin.

Japan is “just starvingfor a star,” Evert said.

WWhen the news broke lastweek, Prince Amuka-mara felt a surge of

Under the lights. Nationalstage.

“Football Night in America,”fully equipped with the CarrieUnderwood intro.

In a season already filled withso much progress, this was the latestmarking post, more evidence ofthe Bears’ resurgence. This was asign Amukamara and his team-mates had achieved national rele-vance, proof the rest of thecountry would like a live look-in

on Chicago’s surprise party.“Honestly, I was so excited,”

Amukamara said. “Just like: ‘Oh,man! They’re starting to respectus a little bit. We get to play onSunday night. This is going to be abig game.’ ”

But then the eighth-year cor-nerback started doing the math.

OK, a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on Nov.18? Then a Thanksgiving Daygame in Detroit on Nov. 22 thatwill begin before noon Chicagotime? Just like that, Amukamara’sinitial enthusiasm twisted itselfinto a three-word wake-up call.

White Sox slugger Jose Abreudoesn’t seem too concerned aboutentering his walk season without acontract extension, believing everythingwill work out in the long run.

The Sox have repeatedly said Abreuis an integral part of the rebuild as amentor to young players such as YoanMoncada and Luis Robert. But unlesshe re-signs before the 2019 seasonbegins, Abreu’s name is bound to come

up in trade rumors before the July deadline.“Everybody knows that 2019 is going to be the last season

of my current contract but I try not to think about thatbecause I’m part of the White Sox and believe I’m going tobe part of this organization for a very long time,” Abreu saidthrough a translator Tuesday on a conference call from Cuba.“But that’s something that’s not in my hands right now.

“I still have one season left. In the case the next seasonwill be my last one, I would like to thank the White Soxorganization and all the people who have been around me inmy time with this team, especially (Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf ).

‘We have no idea what we’re doing’

And why would a coach keep fast, shiftyand dangerous Alex DeBrincat, tied forsecond on the team in goals, out of histop-two forward pairs with all that openice? Talk about a rookie mistake.

And why would a coach put aging,clunky defenseman Brent Seabrook outthere in overtime with all that open ice.Talk about rookie mistake.

Seabrook, by the way, was the Hawksplayer sliding harmlessly across the slot asSebastian Aho dangled the puck beforebeating Hawks goalie Cam Ward for thewinner.

Email from Craig W.: “Remember whenwe used to say at least we have the Hawks?Now we are saying at least we have theBears.’’

Makes you wonder what the UnitedCenter is for these days.

What’s up, Tony Hrkac?

Bears coach Matt Nagy said there is“zero chance’’ the Bears would try outkickers this week.

Funny, but there’s also zero chanceanyone will have confidence in CodyParkey if he’s asked to kick the game-winner at Soldier Field against the Vikingswith first place in the NFC North at stakeon national TV on Sunday night.

Same goes if Parkey is asked to kick theBears into the playoffs.

Ditto if Parkey is asked to kick anythingimportant — no, wait, anything, period.

Quick, someone see if Greyhound willhelp us start a Cody Parkey GoBusMe page.

Parkey hit the uprights four timesSunday, which was embarrassing enough,but then came the admission that Parkeyhad never practiced at Soldier Field duringthe week the way Bears Nos. 1 and 2all-time scorers — Robbie Gould and KevinButler — did because, hey, it’s Soldier Fieldwith winds more confounding thanMcCaskey family decisions.

But wait. There’s more. On Monday, itbecame more embarrassing when Nagysaid it’s only “a possibility’’ that Parkeywould kick at Soldier Field during the week.

Talk about a dereliction of responsibility.Geez, it shouldn’t be a possibility, it shouldbe an order.

Listen, if Nagy refuses to look for abetter kicker, then he’s obligated to makehis kicker better.

What more do you need to see, Coach?I thought you were obsessed witheverything, Coach? With every detail,Coach? With finding every edge, Coach?

So, why are you putting your team in aposition to lose, Coach?

How can you not project the way Parkeycould kill your season by failing to practicemaking critical kicks where he plays halfhis games, Coach?

How fair is that to the rest of the roster,Coach?

Kicking at Soldier Field during the week— kicking this week at night to mimic theenvironment Parkey would deal withagainst the Vikings — theoretically givesParkey an advantage over visiting kickers.

However, by failing to take advantage ofit, Nagy and Parkey essentially are makingParkey a visiting kicker. What part of“advantage” in “home-field advantage”don’t they understand?

I’ll hang up and listen for another clank.

Of course Jabari Parker made a gooddefensive play at the wrong time, pullingoff a miracle blocked shot that allowed theBulls to barely beat the wretched Cavaliersat home, a game that looks like a bad winevery time you watch Duke play.

Thank goodness the Bulls made up for it by losing at home to the equally awfulMavericks, vaulting them below Dallas andinto a tie for the fourth-worst record in theleague.

Cameron Payne has been dropped tothird string because there’s nothing lower.

The Choice (and remember, death isnot an option): Gar Forman’s trade forthird-stringer Payne or Gar Forman’s $32 million contract for third-stringerCristiano Felicio?

Will the 76ers be the most talented lockerroom that Jimmy Butler’s laughable idea ofteam leadership will have poisoned?

New Blackhawks coach JeremyColliton started overtime against theHurricanes with Jonathan Toews, NickSchmaltz and Duncan Keith. That leftPatrick Kane to take the second shift. Iknow three-on-three OT is a joke, but whywouldn’t a coach want to have his bestplayer start OT with all that open ice? Talkabout a rookie mistake.

Yes, we’re talkin’ ’bout practiceSteve Rosenbloom

Is Cody Parkey (1) so good at hittinguprights that a little practice at SoldierField is beneath him — and his coach?

NUCCIO DINUZZO/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Jimmy Butler listensto country music,enjoys playing cardsand drives a minivan.

Oh, the four-timeAll-Star loves to win.

Butler was greetedby more than 250

employees of the 76ers at his introductorynews conference at the team’s practicefacility Tuesday. He made it clear winninga championship is his main priority.

“I already got enough money to haveme and my family set for the rest of mylife. It’s not about the money,” said Butler,who can opt out of his contract and becomea free agent at the end of the season. “Ihave to love where I’m at and have agreat chance to win a championship.”

The Sixers believe adding Butler to aroster that includes Joel Embiid andBen Simmons will allow them tocompete for an NBA title.

Butler, 29, is expected to make hisdebut with his new team on Wednesdayin Orlando.

The deal to Philadelphia ends atwo-month saga that began when Butlertold the Timberwolves shortly beforetraining camp that he wanted to bemoved.

Critics, often citing anonymous sources,called Butler a disruptive presence on ateam. Butler defended his reputation.

“You really wouldn’t know who I amunless you’re around me every day,”Butler said. “I love my teammates. Idon’t think there’s too many of themthat’ll tell you that I’m a bad teammate.”

Brand said he spoke to several ofButler’s former teammates and cameaway more than satisfied.

Butler said he isn’t concerned aboutnot getting enough touches on offensewith Embiid, Simmons, JJ Redick,Markelle Fultz and others on the Sixers.He handled the ball a lot in Minnesotabut doesn’t worry about fitting intocoach Brett Brown’s system.

“I’m great at sharing the ball, movingwithout the ball,” Butler said. “If I needthe ball, I’ll go steal it, go the other end and lay it up. Go get an offensiverebound. There’s more than one way toget the ball.”

NBA

Butler focused onwins with 76ers

At the very least, the Bears will bephysically challenged like never before,facing a turnaround that will prove taxing inso many ways. Sunday’s big-stage gameagainst the Vikings will end around 10:30p.m. The action in Detroit will begin onThanksgiving at 11:30 a.m. Chicago time.

That’s the math Amukamara was work-ing through — about 85 hours between theend of one game and the start of the next.

A couple of short days to prepare. AWednesday flight. Beat-up bodies quicklyshoved back onto the field.

Without question, players acknowledge,this is going to be an extreme ask.

“Definitely,” receiver Allen Robinsonsaid. “Guys are going to have to be on theirrecovery the night of that game. There’s notime to waste.”

Added linebacker Danny Trevathan: “Incollege, someone told me that you’ll neverbe 100 percent. You just have to make yourmind feel 100 percent. Your body willfollow.”

Recovery effortsPause for a second and think about this.

Four weeks ago, the NFL sent Bears outsidelinebacker Leonard Floyd a bill for $20,054for a “hit” he put on Dolphins quarterbackBrock Osweiler.

It was more of a glancing blow at most,Floyd’s left forearm contacting the rightside of Osweiler’s helmet. But this is 2018,and the NFL, understandably, is takingmeasures — sometimes extreme ones — tobetter assure player safety. It’s a worthycause, no doubt. Even if it occasionally leadsto ludicrous fines, such as the one Floydreceived.

But how can the league, in one breath, behyperconcerned about small blows to thehead and then, in the next, ask a team tostart a game barely 85 hours after it finishedthe last one? Player safety, huh?

“That’s what they say,” Trevathan said.“That’s what they say.”

In a normal week, many players say, ittakes three and sometimes four days fortheir bodies to become fully functionalagain.

In a typical week, Mondays and Tuesdaysbecome critical for players to prioritizetheir recovery.

Amukamara, for example, focuses firston alleviating his lower-body soreness. Theday after every game, he squeezes in aworkout and runs. Then he makes certain toget a daily massage.

Robinson has his own elaborate routine.The regimen includes massage, dryneedling, cupping. Time in the hot tub.Time in the cold tub.

“Doing a little bit of everything,” he said.

“It’s always a grind each and every weekjust to get your body back right.”

But next week, with the Bears crammingmeetings and some very low-action “prac-tices” into the first 2 1⁄2days of the week,those routines and recovery processes willbe disrupted. And a Thanksgiving Daygame in Detroit will begin with batteredbodies colliding.

‘Try to find it’Akiem Hicks is quick to point out some

positions take more of a beating than others.Hicks is a 332-pound defensive end who’s ina brawl on every play. So this late-Sunday-to-early-Thursday turnaround will be de-manding.

“Hopefully,” Hicks said, “I’m dealing outmore ass-whoopings than I’m getting,right? But you’re going to get beat up as adefensive lineman, as an offensive lineman.So you’re just going to have to find that extragear. Dig in there and find a little bit more.Whatever you’ve got. And there may not beanything in there. But you better look andtry to find it.”

Naturally, in the uberfocused world ofthe NFL, players don’t have a lot of time tobecome reflective, to think deeply about thebrutality of what they’re being asked to do.

The Bears have no power to change theirschedule. So why expend energy worryingabout it?

“You have to play the cards you’re dealt,man,” Hicks said.

So even with the physical demandspushed to an extreme, players are left totrick their brains. They convince them-selves to suppress their soreness, to ignoretheir brain, to focus on playing football at awinning level.

“It becomes a mindset,” Amukamarasaid. “Once you realize you have a game thenext day, for some reason you don’t feel thesoreness (as much).”

Added Robinson: “Listen. For the guys inhere, we know what we want. And we knowwhat’s in front of us. For us to be able tomake things happen, we know it’s not goingto be an easy task by any means. Toaccomplish what we want to accomplish atthe end of the year, there are going to besome big hurdles we have to get over. This isone of them.”

Fair enough.Still, the Bears’ acceptance of the chal-

lenge shouldn’t wipe away the extremenature of the request. This is a conversationthat should continue in the postgame lockerroom on Thanksgiving Day and after theBears’ return flight to Chicago and into aweekend when players’ bodies will bewrecked.

A near-perfect 10:How Trubisky did it

There’s a line ofthinking in the NFLthat quarterbacks canbe classified into twogroups: Those thatmake others aroundthem better andthose that need agood supporting castto lift them up. It’s agreat compliment to

be put in that first group and MitchTrubisky was in it Sunday during theBears’ 34-22 victory against the Lions.

He made his receivers better withaccurate, well-timed throws. He madegood decisions and, for the third time innine games this season, did not turn theball over. To put it simply, Trubisky wasa big reason the Bears won. That’s aboutthe best thing you can ever say for aquarterback.

There was so much to like about hisperformance, just as there was in theBuccaneers blowout Sept. 30. I’vepicked five plays here to highlight afterrewatching game on a combination ofthe Fox telecast and the coaches’ videoavailable through the NFL Game Passsubscription service:

1. The 20-yard completion tobackup tight end Ben Brauneckeron an off-schedule play on thesecond drive. Trubisky didn’t like hisoptions against man coverage, and heextended the play by escaping thepocket to his right. With linebackerDevon Kennard closing on him,Trubisky set his feet and threw a jumpball to Braunecker, putting the ball in aspot where he could make a play on it.

“He went through his progression —it wasn’t there,” Nagy said Monday.“They played a good coverage, they gotus, and he ... became a runner. And thenon top of that, he stopped and poppedand threw it to Braunecker, who made agreat catch.”

Trubisky stayed under control thewhole time. That he managed to set hisfeet instead of throwing on the runhelped him deliver an accurate throw.Nagy said the difference betweenTrubisky throwing on the run andsetting his feet to throw has to do withwhat he sees.

“More than anything it’s just abouthis eyes,” Nagy said. “He’s athleticenough to know if he’s got to stop andpop and hit it or throw on the run. Buthis eyes have been really good rightnow. There are a couple plays here orthere that you guys (reporters) wouldn’tknow, because you don’t know theprogression, where he was a little off. But for the most part, he was really,really on.”

2. Trubisky’s only incompletion onthe first three drives was worthy ofbeing completed. On first-and-10from the Lions 31, he threw one throughthe keyhole, so to speak, on a deep ballfor Taylor Gabriel in the end zone. Itrequired a sensational diving play bysafety Quandre Diggs to prevent thetouchdown.

Trubisky identified the matchup ofGabriel singled up against a safety,anticipated the throw, threw it inrhythm and was right to take that shot.It was a really good throw but an evenbetter play by the defender.

3. Nagy believes Trubisky’s bestthrow of the game was the oneAnthony Miller dropped onthird-and-8 in the third quarter.Miller ran a crossing route behindmiddle linebacker Jarrad Davis, whosank in coverage with his eyes onTrubisky.

From Trubisky’s vantage point,Miller was to the left of Davis when hebegan to throw and to the right of Daviswhen the ball arrived. In other words,Trubisky led Miller perfectly into anopening in the coverage by throwingwith anticipation and great convictionaround the linebacker. There was noreluctance from Trubisky in placingthat ball perfectly into a tight window.Miller will want that one back.

4. Trubisky scrambled to convertthird-and-4 in the fourth quarter tosee the game out. After the Lionsscored two touchdowns in 69 seconds,the Bears needed to strengthen theirgrip on the flow of the game. Trubiskydid that by finding Allen Robinson for 8 yards on second-and-12, then runningfor the conversion on the next play with5 minutes, 53 seconds remaining.

The Bears’ five-man protection (just the O-line) did a fantastic job, but Trubisky had nothing open againstman coverage. What’s remarkable aboutthe scramble is that the Lions spiedTrubisky with Davis, and still he wasable to suck Davis into traffic and thenescape for the first down.

5. Three plays after that run for a first down, Trubisky hit Miller on an over route for 15 yards onthird-and-5. Again, he saw the fieldwell, anticipated the throw and threwaccurately.

Since missing a similar over routeagainst the Seahawks in Week 2, he hasbecome much more reliable throwing it.He has completed it against the Bucs,Bills and now Lions.■ Bonus: Trubisky drew the Lionsoffside with a hard count on third-and-4on the second drive. That’s a sign ofgreat command. It was a free first downthat extended a series that ended upgoing 91 yards for a touchdown.

Running in placeThe Bears’ difficulty running the ball

Sunday was due partly to lost blocksand a lack of push at the point of attack.

The Bears are 17th in the NFL inyards per carry, an average boosted byTrubisky’s designed runs and scrambles.In focusing on the production of JordanHoward and Tarik Cohen though, Nagy attributes problems to severalcomponents, including execution,scheme and play-calling. As Nagy and his assistants try to sharpen thestrategic elements, you don’t have tohave a copy of the playbook torecognize the blocking struggles.

Against the Lions, Howard andCohen combined for 36 yards on 18carries against the NFL’s 31st-rankedrun defense. Easy — and ugly — math.Nagy pointed out that the Lions’ rankingis partly a function of surrendering bigruns, and it’s true they have given upmore runs of at least 40 yards (five) thanany team in the league.

The Bears’ longest run Sunday wasHoward’s 9-yard carry on the first play.From there, open lanes were at apremium for Cohen and him.

From play to play, there werereminders that it takes 11 players toblock up a big run but only a singlebreakdown to wreck one.

The needs-improvement categoryincluded Cody Whitehair not climbingto the second level in time to latch on toa linebacker; left guard James Danielspulling toward the backside but notblocking the man that ultimately chaseddown the ball carrier; Trey Burtonhaving his block shed by an edgedefender when Howard cut backside;new right guard Bryan Witzmann notexecuting a difficult reach block againstnose tackle Damon Harrison; and Lionslinebacker (and former Bear) ChristianJones not being fazed by fullbackMichael Burton’s cut-block attempt.

Ironically, the pass blocking wassuperb and a huge factor in Trubisky’sexceptional passing performance.

He has been an outstanding person to me,and one of the best people I’ve met in thiscountry …

“But we’ll see. I know this is a businessand that’s the way you have to approach it.”

Abreu, who turns 32 in January, isarbitration-eligible and is coming off hisworst year, statistically-speaking, sincearriving from Cuba in 2014 on a six-year,$68 million deal, the biggest in Sox history.He made $13 million in arbitration lastseason, when he suffered some painfulinjuries, including testicular torsion, whichprompted emergency surgery to save oneof his testicles.

He returned in early September to playsix games, hitting .125 before sitting out therest of the season with a thigh infection.

But Abreu still earned the starting spotat first base for the American League in theAll-Star Game and last week won hissecond Silver Slugger award.

“It was very unexpected because it was avery difficult season for me, especially theway it ended,” he said. “When I heardabout the award I started crying. I couldn’tbelieve it. … People who know how I work,all the effort I put in day in and day out, Ithink this is a reward for all that hard workand effort.

“Even though I didn’t have my bestseason, I sacrificed a lot and I worked very,very hard. It’s rewarding.”

Abreu, who is working out in Cuba withhis old hitting instructor, Marcos Hernandez,has said repeatedly he wanted to stick outthe rebuild, even though he hasn’t yetexperienced a winning season in the majors.

This normally would be the right timefor the Sox to shop him around. ButAbreu’s injuries and slight drop-off in

production hurt his trade value after foursolid seasons.

The possibility of the Sox bringing in abig-name free agent obviously appeals toAbreu, who said he would be “really happyand exited to play alongside one of thosebig names.” Of course, it might be a mootpoint considering the Sox haven’t given outthe kind of lucrative, lengthy contract thata Bryce Harper or Manny Machado figuresto command this winter.

But White Sox general manager RickHahn said last week at the GM meetings in California it’s “no secret” they putthemselves in position to have someeconomic flexibility at this point in the rebuild to add to their young core.

The Sox don’t have to add an impactplayer now since they’re unlikely tocontend in 2019. Their priority is beefingup the bullpen and outfield, primarilyadding some contact hitters to a lineupthat set a major-league strikeout record.

Avisail Garcia is the likeliest veteran tomove, though his trade value plummetedin 2018 because of injuries and a lack ofproduction.

Still, the Sox will look at the high-pricedfree agents to see if there’s mutual interest,and there is plenty of money to spend thiswinter.

“We wouldn’t be doing this properlyif we weren’t investigating all of ourpossibilities via trade and free agency tofurther expand that group of players wehave coming,” Hahn said. “It’s not asurprise to us that at least there are playersout there who are going to have somechoices (and) may be interested in being a part of (us).”

Northern Illinois has been so dominantthis decade in the Mid-American Confer-ence’s West Division, the Huskies’ two-yearabsence from the MAC championshipgame qualifies as a major drought.

Reign is in the forecast again this year.The Huskies (7-3, 6-0 MAC) clinched theirseventh division title in nine years Tuesdaynight when Western Michigan fell to BallState 42-41 in overtime.

NIU — which takes on Miami of Ohio inWednesday’s home finale at Huskie Sta-dium (7 p.m., ESPNU, WIND-AM 560) —will meet the East champion, likely Buffalo,on Nov. 30 at Ford Field in Detroit.

NIU ran off six consecutive West titlesfrom 2010 to 2015, winning the MACchampionship in half of those seasons(2011, ’12 and ’14). The Huskies will bemaking their eighth overall appearance inthe title game, tops in the conference.

Here are three more things to knowabout the Huskies and Wednesday’s game.

1. They played one of the toughestnonconference schedules in the nation.Sports data website teamrankings.comranks NIU’s slate of at Iowa, home versusUtah, at Florida State and at BYU as thefifth-hardest, behind only UCLA, Michigan,Clemson and Pittsburgh. And that’s withFlorida State possibly headed toward itsfirst losing season since 1976.

After dropping their first three noncon-ference games, including a tight 17-6 loss toNo. 19 Utah, the Huskies won 7-6 on Oct. 27at BYU, holding the Cougars to a pair of fieldgoals and racking up five sacks.

2. They’ve received a huge boost fromspecial teams. NIU’s total of five blockedkicks, including three blocked punts, is tiedfor third in the country and gives theHuskies 11 blocked kicks over the last twoseasons.

Their last two victories turned on bigspecial teams plays. Against Akron on Nov.1, the Zips scored what looked to be a tyingtouchdown with 2:54 left in the thirdquarter. But defensive tackle Ben LeRoy ofWilmette blocked the extra-point attempt,and cornerback Jalen McKie grabbed theball on a bounce and ran it back for atwo-point play, three-point swing and29-26 lead. NIU went on to win 36-26 asMcKie, a redshirt freshman walk-on fromGurnee, also had two interceptions, return-ing one for a touchdown.

Last Wednesday against Toledo, it wasAll-America defensive end Sutton Smithwho blocked a punt with the Huskiesleading 10-9 late in the second quarter.Smith scooped the ball and scored for a 17-9halftime lead en route to a 38-15 victory. Itwas Smith’s second blocked punt of theseason and third career touchdown.

3. Speaking of Smith, he hasn’t suffereda drop-off. The redshirt junior fromsuburban St. Louis led the nation in 2017with 14 sacks and 29 1⁄2 tackles for a loss tobecome the second consensus first-teamAll-American in NIU history. He has aMAC-best nine sacks this year and hasforced four fumbles, upping his careernumbers in those categories to 24 and seven.

Smith won’t win the Heisman Trophy,but a second straight MAC Defensive Playerof the Year award seems possible.

As a team, the Huskies are tied for firstnationally with UAB with 3.8 sacks per game.

Howling again Huskies back in MAC titlegame after 2 years away

Le’Veon Bell’s patience on the footballfield sets him apart.

In a game built on chaos, the starrunning back rarely hurries or makeshasty decisions.

His ability to put his hand on the backof an offensive lineman while waiting forthe hole to open — much like a childsticking close to a parent in a crowdedstore — helps him make the remarkablydifficult at times look remarkably easy.

His career at a crossroads partly of hisown making, Bell will have to rely on thatpatience now more than ever after thetwo-time All-Pro declined to sign hisone-year, $14.4 million franchise tenderwith the Steelers by Tuesday’s deadline,making him ineligible to play for theAFC North leaders or anyone else thisseason.

The unprecedented move sets Bell upfor the potentially big-time payday hehas long been searching when hebecomes a free agent in the spring,provided there’s a team willing tosplurge on one of the league’s moretalented if mercurial players.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin seemedresigned to Bell’s decision shortly beforethe deadline, saying simply “so be it”when asked about the possibility of Bellnot returning to the team that selectedhim in the second round of the 2013 draftand helped mold him into one of theleague’s most dynamic threats.

“Even when we don’t understand it,we’re sensitive to it, so we’re not shockedwhen things happen from a businessstandpoint, no,” Tomlin said.

The Steelers (6-2-1), who have wonfive straight to sprint to the top of thedivision, will turn to second-year backJames Conner and reserves StevanRidley and rookie Jaylen Samuels to helpshoulder the load with Bell out of thepicture.

Conner, third in the NFL with 771yards rushing, remained in the concus-sion protocol Tuesday after leaving lastThursday’s blowout win against thePanthers but could practice as early asWednesday.

No game in Mexico City: The leaguemoved the Rams’ Monday night show-down with the Chiefs from Mexico Cityto Los Angeles due to the poor conditionof the field at Azteca Stadium.

The league announced the extraordi-nary decision Tuesday, six days beforeone of the most-anticipated regular-season games of the year.

In a news release, the league says itdetermined that the recently re-soddedfield at Mexico City’s historic stadium“does not meet NFL standards forplayability and consistency, and will notmeet those standards by next Monday.”

Recent rains and several big events atAzteca combined to damage the field.

The Rams (9-1) will host the Chiefs(9-1) at the Coliseum instead. The teamshold the best records in their respectiveconferences entering the big game.

Extra points: Buccaneers LB LavonteDavid may miss Sunday’s game againstthe Giants with a sprained MCL, ESPNreported. The Bucs re-signed LB KevinMinter. ... The Bengals named formerBrowns coach Hue Jackson a specialassistant to head coach Marvin Lewis. Itwill be Jackson’s third stint as anassistant under Lewis.

NFL COLLEGE FOOTBALL

The top four teams remained un-changed in this week’s College FootballPlayoff rankings following a quiet week-end during which every team ranked inthe top 10 won.

Top-ranked Alabama (10-0) contin-ues to lead the way in the rankingsreleased Tuesday night, followed byClemson (10-0), Notre Dame (10-0) andMichigan (8-1).

Georgia (9-1) remains on the outsidelooking in on a possible spot in the twosemifinals at No. 5. The Bulldogs, wholocked up a spot in the SEC champi-onship game two weeks ago, will faceAlabama in a rematch of last year’snational championship game.

Playoff selection committee chairmanRob Mullens said the group has beenvery impressed with Georgia’s perform-ance.

“Their last three wins are extremelyimpressive and the bounce back fromthe loss at LSU and you look at thosecoupled with their only loss comingagainst a ranked LSU team and we see avery competitive team,” Mullens said.

Oklahoma (9-1) continues to repre-sent the Big 12’s best hopes at No. 6despite the Sooners having the worstranked defense (No. 80) among top 10teams.

“We look at their resume and they’re9-1 and their only loss was is to a Texasteam at a neutral site in a very closegame,” Mullens said of Oklahoma.

“But as you dig deeper, you see a greatquarterback, one of the top offenses inthe country with a lot of playmakers butyou also noticed in the last few weeksthat the defense has struggled.”

No. 7 LSU (8-2) remains the onlytwo-loss team among the top 10 teamsafter the Tigers dispatched Arkansas.

Washington State (9-1), which isputting together one of its best seasonsin close to two decades, remained at No.8 this week.

West Virginia (8-1) and Ohio State(9-1) round out the rest of the top 10.

UCF (9-0), which is one of fourunbeaten remaining, moved up a spot toNo. 11 with a win over Navy. The Knightscurrently have the nation’s longestwinning streak at 22 games.

Most of the movement in the rankingscame in the spots 14 through 25especially after seven teams lost gamesover the weekend.

This is the third of the six weeklyrankings released by the 13-memberselection committee, with the finalstandings to be revealed Dec. 2. Thoserankings will determine the four semifi-nalists along with the teams participa-ting in the remainder of the New Year’sSix bowl games. The two semifinals,which rotate yearly, will take place at theOrange Bowl in Miami and at the CottonBowl in Dallas on Saturday, Dec. 29.

Easy as 1-2-3 for Alabama,Clemson, Notre Dame

These are real-world NBA issues.The Bulls face three straight

Eastern Conference powers in theCeltics, Bucks and Raptors toclose out this week, and a stagger-ing 18 of their next 19 games areagainst teams currently with morevictories than them. That’senough to make any team say“ouch” for reasons beyond thelong-term injuries to LauriMarkkanen, Kris Dunn, BobbyPortis and Denzel Valentine.

“Every team is an NBA team,”LaVine said. “We have to battleand compete either way. I don’tcare who they are. Their recordshows how good of a team theyare. We have to be prepared and goat it. It’s part of the schedule.”

Robin Lopez, he of the expiringdeal who nevertheless surgedahead of Cristiano Felicio in therotation despite Felicio’s two moreguaranteed seasons, smirkedwhen asked about the schedule.

“That’s the league,” Lopez said.“We’re all aware of that. You playwhoever comes up with whoeveryou have on the roster. No one isgoing to feel sorry for you.”

Opposing defenses surely aren’tfor LaVine, who committed seventurnovers Monday in a loss to theMavericks, the third time thisseason he has had at least thatmany.

“I’m not worried about the firstdefender,” LaVine said. “It’s thesecond one I’m trying to read. Iwas doing a good job with that.

I’m still attacking. (The Maver-icks) started blitzing a little bithigher. I have to make a betterdecision or quicker decision. Iknow I’m making the right reads. Ijust have to do a better job oftaking care of the ball.”

LaVine took a long timepostgame Monday before ad-dressing reporters and initiallysounded downcast when doing so.

“I always ask more for myself,”he said. “We have to find a way towin. It’s frustrating.”

LaVine eventually flashed hismore gregarious personality, talk-ing about everything from some ofthe league’s fastest players besideshimself and his breakaway wind-mill dunk.

“Kris Dunn was in Minnesotawith me and said, ‘I ain’t seen thatyet from you. Let the crowd stillknow who you are,’ ” LaVine said.“He put it in the back of my head. Iknow I can still get up. I have a lotof dunks left in me.”

Dunn’s injury gift-wrapped anopportunity for Cameron Payneand his guaranteed contract. In-stead, Payne struggled as a starter,Ryan Arcidiacono replaced himhas a starter and now he’s stuckbehind Shaquille Harrison andout of the rotation. Neither Arcidi-acono’s nor Harrison’s contract isfully guaranteed this season.

Lopez, too, had fallen out of therotation until Felicio’s poor playdemanded his return.

“I’ve played OK,” Lopez said.“It’s nice to be back out there withthe guys. I’m trying to find myself

defensively, trying to fit in thatway. I’ll get on the same page aseverybody else offensively themore I’m out there.’’

After a slow start, defense is nolonger the Bulls’ main issue. Of-fense is. The Bulls have failed toscore 100 points in four of theirlast five games and rank 27th inoffensive rating.

“We have to catch our offenseback up,” Hoiberg said. “We’regoing up against some of the elitedefenses in the league, startingwith Boston who was No. 1 lastyear and are up at the top againthis year. We have to be sharp.”

Or else this stretch of theschedule could bury the Bulls.

“I’m a competitive player,”Lopez said. “You see me on thefloor getting technicals and gener-ally shouting at the refs butoccasionally other people too. Iwant to be winning wherever Iam.’’

Brutal schedule will testBulls in next few weeks Bulls, from Page 1

Zach LaVine walks off the court

Monday in the game against the

Mavs. He had seven turnovers.


Sky owner Michael Alter was inthe same place Tuesday, figura-tively speaking, as he was two yearsago: taking a chance on a first-timehead coach/general manager whohad been an assistant coach on achampionship team.

He even admitted at AmberStocks’ introductory news confer-ence that the former Sparks assist-ant had been a “long shot” whoimpressed him throughout theevaluation process.

Now, despite a few similarities,James Wade’s hire feels as differ-ent from Stocks’ as his unveiling inAlter’s downtown office was milesfrom her subdued debut in Skokie.

Asked about preparing for theWNBA draft as someone whowears both the GM and coachhats, Wade deadpanned, “I thinkbeing the head coach, we’ll have alot of discussions about it.”

But more to the point, Alter

realized, after his two-year experi-ment with Stocks failed to pro-duce a playoff berth, that coach-player relationships are pa-ramount. From what he heard inleague circles, Wade excels atrelating to and developing players.

“One of the hardest things as acoach … is getting the players to dowhat you want (them) to do,” Altersaid. “… What separates the greatcoaches from the good coaches orthe mediocre coaches is the abilityto get the players to buy into it andto execute it and do it consistentlyat a high level.”

Said Wade: “I hold players ac-countable but I’m a relatable coach.… I know what it takes to win.”

Wade was close to former Skybig Sylvia Fowles in 2017 whenFowles put the Lynx on hershoulders en route to a title.

“Me and Syl worked together forthe whole year, and that’s the yearshe got MVP, got Finals MVP,”Wade said. “That’s how I made mybones, by being a post coach.”

Part of Wade and the Lynx’smandate is that they didn’t letanything slide, not even on drills.

The challenge for Wade will beto bring that level of accountabil-

ity to a team that led the league inturnovers last season (15.3 pergame) and allowed the mostpoints per game (90.1) despite atwo-year emphasis on defense.

Here’s where Wade, a formerscout, separates himself. He notonly recognizes the Sky’s weak-nesses but he will set specificbenchmarks for himself so he canbe held accountable if the teamfalls short.

“(When) Seattle won the cham-pionship, (opponents) shot 43percent from the field. We were at46. We have to be at least 43percent next year. We gave up 39points (per game) in the paint. Wehave to trim that down by 9. … Iknow what it takes to get it done,but we have to find out how to wecan do that with this roster.”

But his foremost challenge willbe racking up wins. The Sky were25-43 over the last two seasons.

“The thing is they brought mein for this team to make theplayoffs right away,” Wade said. “…We’re trying to get wins. That’sgoing to show where we’re at.

Time to turn the tideWade’s mission tochange culture, moldSky into winning teamBy Phil ThompsonChicago Tribune

RALEIGH, N.C. — Chris Ku-nitz can’t remember his lastlosing season in the NHL —that’s because one never hashappened in his career.

Kunitz spent 21 games withthe 2003-04 Ducks — thenknown as the Mighty Ducks ofAnaheim — who finished theseason below .500, but he didn’tplay enough games to qualify as arookie that season. He stuckwith them in 2005-06 and win-ning has been part of his DNAsince.

Not once in the previous 13seasons has the 39-year-old for-ward sat at home during theplayoffs. In fact, he has playedthe second-most postseasongames (178) of any active playerexcept Patrick Marleau, who is11 days older than Kunitz and hasplayed in 184 but made his NHLdebut in 1997.

Kunitz’s run of playing onwinning teams will end if theBlackhawks can’t right them-selves. Their current eight-gamelosing streak has pulled themdown to sixth place in theCentral Division and behind theAvalanche, Ducks, Coyotes andOilers for the final wild-cardspot.

“We’ve shown some spurts tobe able to be a good team andfound ways to win games,”Kunitz said. “And then for thelast seven or eight games we’vebeen challenged offensively tohang onto pucks and keep themfrom scoring on us and playingthat 60-minute game. It’s toughin here, it wears on us.”

Kunitz will be the first to tellyou he’s not the reason all thoseteams won far more than theylost — Teemu Selanne, SidneyCrosby and Steven Stamkosprobably had a little more to dowith it — but he pulled hisweight every year.

“You go out and your team hassuccess because you have goodplayers and you work hard,”Kunitz said. “So a streak like thiskind of wears on a guy and putsthat doubt in your mind. Butthat’s where you have to bepositive as a group and workyourself out of it.”

Even last season when hebegan to see reduced minutes asa bottom 6 forward with theLightning, Kunitz scored 13goals while playing in all 82games. He has not scored thisseason and has only two assistswhile averaging a little morethan 11 minutes of ice time. Hewas even a healthy scratch once.

“It’s a different mentality,”Kunitz said. “Try to keep pos-itive on the bench and you wantto make sure you have energyeven if you haven’t been on theice for a few minutes. It’s some-thing I knew going into this yearand last year that you have to filla role. My mentality hasn’t changed.

“I’ve never really thought ofmy game as an offensive style ofplay. I just want to get in onforechecks, retrieve pucks. Inthe past I’ve played with eliteplayers who have given it back toyou in areas where you havesuccess. So I try to play the sameway.”

Blues at Blackhawks

7 p.m. Wednesday, NBCSN

The Blackhawks placed for-ward Marcus Kruger on injuredreserve Tuesday and called updefenseman Gustav Forsling,meaning they — at least tempo-rarily — will have eight defense-men on the roster.

“More competition the bet-ter,” coach Jeremy Colliton said.“It’s going to push everyone to bebetter.”

Forsling, 22, underwent wristsurgery over the summer andwas not ready to play when theseason began. After being given aclean bill of health, he was sentto Rockford and played five gameswith the IceHogs before his recall.

“We think he can help us,”Colliton said. “We haven’t set thelineup or told the players any-thing, but he’s a fantastic skaterand moves the puck clean.”

Kruger (left leg) is eligible toreturn Friday. defenseman Con-nor Murphy, who has been outsince the start of training campwith a back injury, spent sometime on the ice before practicebut is still a few weeks away fromplaying in games.

Old dogs, new tricks: Collitonhas been thrilled with how theveteran players have embracedreceiving feedback and are will-ing to learn a new system.

“(With) the youngest guys Iknew that because I had them inRockford,” Colliton said. “Butthe oldest guys, they’re almostthe most excited about talkinghockey and how we’re going toturn this around. So that hasbeen a pleasant surprise andmakes me very excited about thefuture.”

Saad returns: Brandon Saadmissed two games after a puckhit him on his right arm inpractice last week. He practicedTuesday and should play againstthe Blues at the United Centeron Wednesday night.

Saad said there have been a lotof video sessions and conversa-tions as players try to learnColliton’s system.

“What we were doing (beforeColliton) wasn’t working,” Saadsaid. “He’s our new coach. Wewant to commit to his systemand buy into his play. Once weget that going, we’re going tohave some success.”

IN BRIEF

8 Chicago Tribune | Chicago Sports | Section 3 | Wednesday, November 14, 2018 D

Michael Wilbon closed outMonday’s “Pardon theInterruption” with a salute tohis alma mater. When Tony

Kornheiser mentioned that Duke hadascended to No. 1 in the AP poll, Wilbonshot back: “That’s OK, but not the women.They got a beatdown at Northwestern.”

Then he mentioned the top scorer fromthe Wildcats’ 84-58 victory, a family friendfrom Maryland: “Shoutout to LindseyPulliam.”

Asked by phone whether people givehim flak for all the Northwesternmentions, Wilbon replied: “Sure, yeah, butI don’t give a (crap). As Scott Van Pelt putit: ‘Everyone’s from somewhere.’ Peoplewant me to mention Notre Dame? Sorry.Michigan? Not going to happen.Northwestern, that’s where I’m from.”

And it’s where he will be Fridayafternoon. “PTI” will be filmed atWelsh-Ryan Arena at about 3:15 p.m. Doorsopen to the public at 2:45 and admission isfree. The show will air at 4:30.

The visit is tied to the 6 p.m. gamebetween Northwestern and Binghamton,Kornheiser’s alma mater. Wilbon andKornheiser will call it for ESPNews, joiningplay-by-play man Dave Flemming. Poor guy.

“I told him, ‘Dude, you have no ideawhat you’re in for,’ ” Wilbon said. “We haveno idea what we’re doing.”

Northwestern rates 50th on KenPom.comand Binghamton checks in at 292, sothere’s probably not much chance of anupset. But if the game’s in doubt …

“I will run out onto the court and tacklesomebody,” joked Wilbon, a Northwesterntrustee.

More from Wilbon:

What’s your plan for Indianapolis andthe Big Ten championship game?I’ve never been to that game. The last timeI was in the stadium, it was still the HoosierDome. As you can imagine, this was notsomething where I looked at the calendarand planned for months in advance.

Not even after Northwestern lost toAkron?Yeah, I planned like three things for thatweek. I have a milestone (60th) birthdaycoming up (Monday), and I was going tohave a party in Arizona. I haven’t even toldeverybody that I’m bailing on it yet.

Has this season been gratifying,shocking?Both. I missed one home game, the Akrongame. I checked the score. It was 21-3, so Isaid: I’m not checking it again.

That game was like losing to Miami ofOhio in 1995 (the Rose Bowl season).Yeah, same conference. It’s easy to say,well, if we had just beaten Akron. … Youand I being sportswriters, we know whathappens sometimes from losing, fromdisappointment. And from our side, wedon’t play well with expectations. None ofthe programs do. It’s because we’re stilltransitioning into a place where there are legitimate expectations, so this is adifferent culture.

You watched the victory over Iowa onTV. How did you handle it?I sat there terrified, gripping the chair. I’mback to being like I was as a teenager. I’vebeen affiliated with Northwestern for 42years. My freshman year was 1976. Andgrowing up in Chicago, I kept up 10 yearsbefore that.

Does it help that you’re no longerwriting the column for the WashingtonPost, so you don’t have to think aboutobjectivity?I was doing it even when I was a Postcolumnist because I was never coveringthe team. It’s different when you’re living700 miles away and you don’t have the dayto day. It’s one of the reasons I never cameback and why I didn’t come to the Tribunein ’97. My life is rooting for those (Chicago)teams. And you shouldn’t do it (as acolumnist); you can’t do it. When I waswriting a few columns for ESPN Chicago, Iwould not wear a Bears cap. So for 30 yearsI couldn’t do it. Now I can, proudly andhappily. I’m a trustee of the university, I’m involved at a level in which there’s nohiding. I’m a cheerleader. I’m a booster. I’mfine with that.

Plus I assume you’ve found that noone in the public cares abouttraditional journalism rules.If you are honest enough to declare yourbaggage, people understand. Tony and Itease each other about what it is that wecare about. People knew I was a Cubs fanyears ago. People knew that I grew uprooting for the Bulls and I was covering theNBA and still do. I don’t trust people whosay they don’t root for teams. Then why did you get into this? It means you can’tunderstand what your readers, what yourlisteners, are going through. Declare whatit is you care about and be honest about it.

Big-picture question for you: Whathappens first for Northwestern, theFinal Four or the College FootballPlayoff?It’s a great debate. Football is closer, but Ithink the Final Four is easier to get to. Wehad a shot at Gonzaga (in the second roundof the 2017 NCAA tournament). And theother thing is, you’re one kid from it. MarkAguirre showed that at DePaul. They’reactually both doable, and I didn’t feel thatway six, seven years ago. ( President)Morty (Schapiro) had a vision forintercollegiate sports at Northwestern.

Northwestern has invested more than$400 million into facilities forfootball, the basketball programs,baseball …An NBA GM, a friend of mine who hadbeen on campus to scout our old building,said: “Look, if you guys give Chris (Collins)a building, the possibilities are muchgreater than you think.” … Northwesternonce had obstructionists. We had peoplewho did not want to even try to compete.And there were a few of us who keptpointing at Duke and Stanford. Morty and(athletic director) Jim Phillips and (trusteeand benefactor) Pat Ryan and the coachesall get overlapping credit.

Who came up with the“PTI”-Northwestern idea?Kornheiser. He says: “Look, you guys aregonna beat up on somebody, some smallerschool has to take a paycheck. So why can’tit be Binghamton?” I said this to Jim(Phillips) in a text. I’m going to tell thisstory on television because as far as I’mconcerned, that’s where it came from.Nobody in Evanston was thinking aboutBinghamton. Tony loves Doug Collins. Weare fan boys, pure and simple, of DougCollins. That Collins magic is paramount.

Then someone at ESPN gets credit forsayingyou and Tony should call thegame?It would have to be, right? I met DaveFlemming today. Nice guy. Stanford guy. Isaid: “Dude, you have no idea what you’rein for, we have no idea what we are doing.”I’ve been in the booth for Redskinspreseason games. Hubie Brown oncesuggested that I could do this and it wasthe greatest compliment of my life. But thesuggestion of it terrified me.

Really? You think it’s a lot harder thanit looks?When I’m listening to Cris Collinsworthand Al Michaels, Cris is telling storiesabout locker rooms and what people havesaid, their influences and what hashappened on a Saturday walkthrough. I dobelieve you need to have played the gameto consistently do it. In this case, peoplearen’t going to tune in like this is a FinalFour game. It ought to be entertaining, andTony and I ought to be able to do this. Too many guys now are just calling plays.They’re dragging the weak-side linebacker.Or they’re talking about the Double-A gap.Of the 12 million people watching theshow, how many understand that?

If the unthinkable occurs andNorthwestern is on the verge of losingFriday’s game …I will run out onto the court and tacklesomebody.

What do you want for your 60th birthday?I want to beat Michigan in a rematch onDec. 1. One thing, one gift, that’s all I couldask for. And if it happens, I might justexpire right there. Just end me, justsprinkle the ashes.

By Teddy GreensteinChicago Tribune

“I want to beat Michigan in a rematch on Dec. 1.One thing, one gift, that’s all I could ask for. And if it happens, I might just expire right there.Just end me, just sprinkle the ashes.”— Michael Wilbon’s wish for the Big Ten title game

CHAMPAIGN — Illinois coach BradUnderwood walked into the locker roomafter an encouraging 88-80 loss toGeorgetown and liked what he saw: Abunch of angry players.

“This was a group of guys that waspissed off,” he said. “They were frus-trated with themselves.”

He paused for several seconds whenasked to compare those emotions to howlast season’s team reacted after a loss. Helaughed. He placed his hand on his faceand searched for the right words.

With a smile, he said, “It’s refreshing.Let’s put it that way.”

Illinois allowed what could have beena defining nonconference victory slipaway Tuesday night in a Gavitt TipoffGame, part of the annual Big East-BigTen showdown. There were plenty ofmoments to provide concern.

But even as the Illini (1-1) head into theMaui Invitational against No. 3 Gonzaga— a game that would evoke some nervesin any team let alone one with eight newplayers — Underwood said this teamwon’t flinch.

“You think I’m afraid to go challengeanybody with this group that’s going tocontinue to grow?” he said. “I’m excitedthe rest of the way for us.”

Illinois trailed just 81-80 with 1minute, 54 seconds remaining, gainingmomentum off another brilliant take-over performance from freshman guardAyo Dosunmu. He finished with 25points on 9 of 15 shooting, including 3 of4 3-pointers, supplying points and bigplays that were especially valuablewithout sophomore guard Trent Frazier,who missed the game with a concussion.

But the Illini missed their final fiveshots with some major miscues fromjunior Kipper Nichols. Nichols, whofinished with 13 points, missed a layupwith 91 seconds remaining after aDosunmu steal. He missed a 3-pointeron the next possession and finally fouledout of the game on a blocking foul with39 seconds to go.

With less than five minutes to play, hewas sloppy with the ball allowingMatthew McClung to outhustle him forthe loose ball and score on a dunk off afast break for a 75-72 lead

Dosunmu took the blame for a poorpass off his steal and provided comfort-ing words to Nichols.

“I felt like we had ample opportunitydown the stretch,” he said. “I told himthat shot, it was my bad. I didn’t put theball in the right place. I told him 100times out of 100 times, I’m kicking it toyou. I’m trusting you as a veteran and mybrother to knock that shot down.”

Underwood said he simply told Nich-ols, “Next game.”

The Illini also took a hit whenfreshman forward Giorgi Bezhanishvili(12 points) picked up his fourth foul andheaded to the bench for about 4½minutes in the second half.

“I was really disappointed defensivelytonight,” Underwood said. “Just simplerotations. (Georgetown) ran very little interms of a couple of plays. It’s help sidedefense, being where you’re supposed tobe. That’s the difference between win-ning and losing in college basketball.”■ Illinois received a pre-game commit-ment from 6-foot-10 California centerAntwan January, a three-star recruit ac-cording to 247sports composite rankings.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. —Lee Westwood and Matt Kucharwon last week, each ending four-plus years without winning ontheir home circuit. They also wonwithout their regular caddies.

Kuchar used a local caddie atMayakoba because he entered atthe last minute and his regularlooper, John Wood, had a previousengagement. Westwood used hisgirlfriend, Helen Storey, who pre-viously caddied for him in Den-mark.

Wood is back to work withKuchar this week at the AustralianOpen. Billy Foster’s 10-year runwith Westwood is done.

“Mine and Billy’s working rela-tionship had got to a point whereneither of us were gaining any-thing from it and we weren’t doingeach other any good,” Westwoodsaid Tuesday at the DP WorldTour Championship in Dubai. “Isat him down and said, ‘This is nogood, I’m playing better whenyou’re not there than when youare there, so something’s obvi-ously not working.’ He said to me,‘Well, I can’t caddie for you how Iwant to caddie for you.’ ”

Westwood said he has reacheda stage in his career where hedoesn’t need as much from hiscaddie, and he felt Foster wasn’thappy just carrying the bag.

“It just was one of those thingsthat had to come to an end,”Westwood said. “We’ve obviouslyhad a great time the last 10 yearsand been very successful, butpeople change and the way youwork and look at things.”

Foster is working with MattFitzpatrick in Dubai. Westwood isusing Glen Murray, who was onthe bag with Sergio Garcia whenthe Spaniard won the Masters.

Open qualifying: The road to theMasters also will cut a pathtoward Northern Ireland for theBritish Open.

With the PGA Championshipmoving to May, the R&A haschanged up the sites and dates of“The Open Qualifying Series,”with the biggest change on thePGA Tour. Last year, the threePGA Tour events leading up toThe Open offered nine spots toplayers not already exempt — attwo tournaments, four spots fromthe top 12 on the leaderboard, andone spot at the John Deere Classic.

Now, three spots to the leading10 players not already exempt arebeing offered at the Arnold PalmerInvitational at Bay Hill on March7-10.

Three spots are being awardedat the Canadian Open on June 6-9.Two spots are being awarded atthe new Rocket Mortgage Classicin Detroit on June 27-30. The JohnDeere Classic still gets one spot aweek before the British Open atRoyal Portrush.

Europe’s schedule has notchanged, only the tournaments.Three spots to the leading 10players will be awarded in each ofthree tournaments leading to TheOpen — the Andalucia Valder-rama Masters, the Irish Open andthe Scottish Open.

A total of 46 qualifying spots areoffered around the world for the156-man field, starting this weekat the Australian Open.

Every shot matters: EmilianoGrillo rapped a 3-foot bogey putton the final hole at Mayakoba thatpopped around the lip and spunout, leaving him stunned. Hemade double bogey for a 69 thatdropped him from a six-way tie for10th to alone in 15th place.

That was worth $35,400. It costhim nine FedEx Cup points. Thathappens every week.

This late in the year, it cost theArgentine 0.83 world rankingpoints. Instead of being at No. 46,Grillo moved up to No. 48. That’simportant because the top 50 atthe end of the year get into theMasters, and he’ll have to wait tosee if that putt ends up costing hima certain invitation.

Then again, Grillo is playing theDunlop Phoenix in Japan thisweek and could make it a mootpoint.

Field boost: The AustralianOpen doesn’t have Jordan Spiethfor the first time since 2013,though it attracted a strong groupof Americans that include MattKuchar, Keegan Bradley andBrandt Snedeker. Kuchar is stay-

ing in Australia next week for theWorld Cup of Golf.

Next year, the Australian Opencould get even more star power.

Organizers announced Tues-day that it will be held Dec. 5-8,one week before the PresidentsCup at Royal Melbourne.

When the Presidents Cup lastwas in Australia in 2011, 13 playersfrom the U.S. and Internationalteams competed in golf’s fifth-oldest championship. That groupincluded Tiger Woods, who willbe the Presidents Cup captainnext year.

“This is great news for theAustralian Open and we’re excitedabout what this means for Austral-ian golf fans,” Golf Australia chiefexecutive Stephen Pitt said.

Disabilities rankings: Golferswith disabilities are getting theirown world ranking.

The R&A and the USGA an-nounced Tuesday the World

Ranking for Golfers with Disabili-ty for men and women, starting inJanuary. The World Amateur GolfRanking will administer bothsites. The governing bodies agreedto take over the program that theEuropean Disabled Golfers Asso-ciation created in 2014.

“There is an acceleratinggrowth in the number of eventsaround the world for golfers withdisabilities to compete in, so itmakes absolute sense that there isa global ranking to provide arobust measurement of an indi-vidual’s skill and ability,” saidDuncan Weir, head of golf devel-opment and amateur events forthe R&A. “It is another importantstep toward ensuring that golf ismore inclusive of people of all agesand abilities.”

The announcement coincidedwith the Australian All AbilitiesChampionship, in which 12 golf-ers are playing alongside pros atthe Australian Open this week.

Traveling man: Another week,another golf course for PadraigHarrington.

Another country, too. The RSM Classic at Sea Island

is the ninth tournament in 10weeks for Harrington, which in-cludes his role as vice captain atthe Ryder Cup. He started at theKLM Open in The Netherlandsand since has gone to Portugal,France, Scotland, England andSpain. After a week off, he re-sumed at the Turkish AirlinesOpen and the Nedbank Challengein South Africa before arriving onthe Georgia coast.

The PGA Tour is done for theyear. And he is not scheduled toplay the European Tour opener inHong Kong.

Divots: Both Americans amongthe top five in the Race to Dubai,Patrick Reed and Xander Schauf-fele, are playing the DP WorldTour Championship this week.

This will be the first regularEuropean Tour event for Schauf-fele. ... Matt Kuchar with hisvictory became the 10th player tosurpass $45 million in careerearnings on the PGA Tour. ... LukeDonald, who was No. 1 in theworld for 56 weeks in 2011 and2012, fell out of the top 500 in theworld this week for the first timesince the start of 2002. ... Kucharand Lee Westwood each won ontheir home tours last week. Theirprevious victories on the PGATour and European Tour were onthe same day — April 20, 2014 —when Kuchar won at Hilton Headand Westwood won the MalaysianOpen. Both had won other tourssince then.

Stat of week: Three players whoended last year among the top 10in the world have fallen out of thetop 20 — Hideki Matsuyama (23),Sergio Garcia (24) and HenrikStenson (32).

Soon after he accepted thethankless task of trying to rebuildthe sprawling, fractured operationat USA Track and Field, DougLogan received a one-line textfrom the NBA commissioner atthe time, David Stern: “You onlytake the easy ones.”

Logan laughed. Deep down, theformer commissioner of MajorLeague Soccer knew if he didwhat was necessary, he’d makeenemies and be gone in a fewyears.

He lasted 26 months — not verysurprising given the world ofOlympic-style politics, infighting,limited resources and multi-lay-ered demands he walked into.

“There’s the old cliche of ‘lowrisk, high reward,’ ” Logan said.“Taking a job like that, it’s ‘highrisk, low reward.’ ”

As the new CEO of the U.S.Olympic Committee, Sarah Hirsh-land, or any of the three recentlyousted leaders of USA Gymnasticscan attest to, the task of running anorganization in the U.S. Olympicworld looks like a job descriptionfrom hell:

Wanted: Take-no-prisonerssports-and-business expert to runnot-for-profit sports team inwhich you have no say in pickingthe players, and cannot pay them,either.

Salary: $1 million a year if you’relucky.

Key challenges: Ensure athletesafety, both from abusers andday-to-day injuries common toyour sport. Keep hundreds ofgrassroots clubs, thousands ofvolunteers and hundreds of thou-sands of recreational participantshappy.

Also: From those grassrootsprograms, maintain a high-func-tioning, elite program guaranteedto win medals each year at worldchampionships and Olympics.

Bonus: Be ready, at any givenmoment, to answer to the govern-ment, which ultimately controlsyour future but has vowed not tospend a penny toward furtheringyour success.

If you succeed, you get to keepyour job. For a while, at least.

Ultimately, neither the USAGymnastics board of directors northe two leaders it chose to rebootthe federation were up to thesetasks. That led Hirshland to callfor the dismantling of the nationalgoverning body (NGB) torn apartby a sex-abuse scandal it couldn’tprevent, recognize or rebuildfrom. Hirshland’s own future willbe decided in part by what theUSOC does to replace the agencyit seeks to tear apart.

USA Gymnastics is only one of50 national governing bodies — allwith differing sizes, agendas,budgets and staffs — but with thiscommon thread:

“You have to not only look forways to grow your sport, but alsofor ways to support your sport atthe highest level,” says Rich Bend-er, the CEO of USA Wrestling. “Attimes, you can get conflicted. Oneof the realities is, those NGBs thathave found success have been ableto marry the two.”

When Congress adopted theTed Stevens Amateur Sports Actin 1978, its main motivation was towrest control of the individualsports from the grip of the Ama-teur Athletic Union (AAU), whichregulated most Olympic sportsand often adopted rules that didn’tallow them to function well at thehighest levels.

The law, likely to be revisitedand tweaked in the wake of thesex-abuse scandal, established themodern-day USOC and gave itauthority to choose which organi-zations would oversee the dozensof sports on the Olympic program.

Those organizations, the annu-al revenues of which fall in therange of anywhere from $750,000(USA Badminton) to $35 million(USA Track and Field, US Ski andSnowboard), are in control ofmuch more than producing gold-medal Olympians, however.

“A lot of these NGBs have anexecutive, and he or she is doingpress releases, folding towels andmaking sure they have a place tostay at the Olympics,” said BobCondron, a longtime Olympicinsider who worked at the USOC.“A lot don’t have the resources todo what they’re supposed to do.”

Jim Scherr, the former CEO ofthe USOC, ticked off no fewerthan a dozen roles a typical NGB

has to fulfill. Among them: Managing youth

sports; developing athlete pipe-lines; liaising with the NCAA,which is a key part of that pipelinein the United States; marketing,promoting and delivering localprograms and services; eventmanagement, both local and na-tional; fundraising; sponsorship;media; ticketing; licensing; man-aging hundreds of volunteerswhose only compensation arerecognition and occasional accessto events.

Board members that overseethe staff and set the direction ofthe organization are volunteers —usually not well versed in most, ifnot all, of these areas.

“There’s a cycle,” Scherr said.“Boards will focus for a while onathletic performance and hiresomeone who’s an expert there.Then, they’ll say, We’ve lost sightof the bottom line,’ and the sportsperson will get replaced with

someone they think can stewardthose resources. Then, that willget solidified and they’ll wantsomeone who can drive mediarights.

“Then, eventually, the focusshifts back to sports.”

Until, that is, the cycle isinterrupted by an unexpectedcrisis, which is where USA Gym-nastics and, to some extent, theUSOC, now find themselves.

Sex abuse has, for now, replaceddoping as the crisis that mostOlympic organizations were notbuilt to deal with. As the dig-outbegins, Hirshland will have to finda leader for gymnastics who, firstand foremost, understands theneed to shift the focus to athletesafety — with some concreteactions to put behind the words. Itis, even in this fraught time, not anarea of expertise for most sportsexecutives.

The last time this big an NGBwas in this sort of peril came when

Logan was hired, not long afterthe USOC threatened to cut offfunding or decertify a federation itdeemed to be poorly run by anunwieldy board of directors.

Logan cleaned house and triedto get a grip on a volunteeroperation that many felt hadgotten out of control. He alsocreated a panel to assess why theteam won a paltry 23 medals at theBeijing Olympics.

In the end, he was gone, andreplaced by Max Siegel, a market-ing veteran with NASCAR tieswho has received equal doses oflove and hate for his signaturebusiness accomplishment while atthe helm — a 23-year extension onthe sponsorship deal with Nikeworth more than $450 million.

The U.S. team has also won 29(2012) and 32 (2016) Olympicmedals under his watch.

But he has no illusions thatthese jobs are easy — or forever.

“When people approach it by

saying, ‘It’s a (not-for-profit),’ theimplication is that it’s a charitableorganization,” Siegel said. “Butthat’s not the case, and running apublic entity that has commercialobjectives are not missions that gohand-in-hand. It’s a constant chal-lenge and it is a built-in tension.”

Siegel, now in his seventh yearat the helm of one of the toughestNGBs out there, is a rare excep-tion.

The chilling fact is that almosteveryone who has tried one ofthese jobs since the currentframework was established in the1970s has been shown the door —often in far less than seven years.Scherr said the USOC conducted asurvey while he was CEO andfound that, excluding a few outli-ers, the average tenure of an NGBexecutive was around 18 months.

“It takes a lunatic, like me, to beincented to do them,” Logan said.“But the thing that is exciting isthe great challenge.”

Issues galore, resourceslimited for typical USOCBy Eddie PellsAssociated Press

By the time the Marvel Cinematic Universe experienced its Big Bang with

the 2008 smash “Iron Man,” Stan Lee had long since retired from official

duties at Marvel, settling into a role as a revered spiritual grandfather to

the comic book world, as close to a flesh-and-blood superhero as fans

could hope to get.

Although Lee was no longer activelyinvolved in steering the panoply of charac-ters he had helped create — including Spi-der-Man, the X-Men, the Hulk, Black Pan-ther, Thor and the Fantastic Four — hislegacy as a key architect of what wouldquickly become Hollywood’s dominantgenre was already firmly established.

In the decade since “Iron Man,” MarvelStudios movies, most of which feature Lee’sco-creations, have collectively grossed morethan $17 billion worldwide for the WaltDisney Co. — and that’s not counting theadditional billions brought in over the yearsby the Spider-Man and X-Men franchises atSony Pictures and 20th Century Fox, re-spectively.

“Thank God for Stan Lee creating thisuniverse and these amazing characters,”David Maisel, former chairman of MarvelStudios, told The Times on Monday, as newsof Lee’s death at age 95 reverberated aroundthe world. “Without him, there would have

been nothing for us to put on the screen.”Here are three ways Lee helped write the

playbook for the modern superhero movie— and, by extension, re-shaped the filmindustry as a whole.

1He made superheroes relatable.

Until Lee came along, superheroeshad generally been much more like

Olympian deities than regular people withregular-human problems. But, starting inthe 1960s with Fantastic Four, Spider-Manand the Hulk, Lee and co-creators JackKirby and Steve Ditko saw a way to draw infans with characters who, for all their pow-ers, were plagued by the same flaws, neuro-ses, relationship issues and everyday head-aches that beset all of us.

As Lee told The Times in 1984, “Ithought, suppose there was a guy, PeterParker, who’s also Spider-Man and he can

Chicagoans encounter opera inmany forms, from traditional tonovel to historical re-creation.

But the company that makes itsChicago debut Thursday night atthe Harris Theater will presentsomething quite different: early-period opera reinvented for today.In effect, Toronto-based OperaAtelier looks back toward howmusic-drama was presentedcenturies ago and recasts itthrough contemporary eyes, earsand sensibilities.

“I don’t give a damn aboutperiod costumes if it’s getting inthe way of our storytelling,” saysOpera Atelier co-founder andco-artistic director MarshallPynkoski, who leads the companywith Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg,his wife.

Dear Amy: When I was 16,our family had a foreignstudent come live with uson a summer exchangeprogram. He was also 16.

He wanted to stay be-yond his visa, so my par-ents arranged to take legalguardianship of him. It wasvery stressful having himmove into our family. Mymom and I constantlyfought about his presencein our home. Six monthsafter the guardianship, mydad moved out and myparents divorced.

Eventually, my siblingsand I grew up and lefthome, except the boy, wholived at home with ourmother until he was 24.My siblings and I movedon from this fracturingtime in our family.

The now-adult guyrecently contacted me overFacebook to apologize for“ruining” my family, dis-closing that he was mymother’s boyfriend duringhis time with our family.

In shock, I called mymother, and she insistedthat this relationship wasconsensual, and that itoccurred “only after theguardianship had ended”(when he had turned 18). Idon’t understand why hefound it necessary to tellme about their relation-ship. I feel shocked, hurtand betrayed — oscillatingbetween considering thatmy mom is a child preda-tor (grooming and takingguardianship of him), torealizing that she musthave had very strong feel-ings for him to choose himover me, and our family.

My mom and I used totalk once a week. I haven’tspoken to her in sixmonths. Do you have anyadvice for me for how tomove forward?

— Still in Shock

Dear Still in Shock: Ofcourse your mother’s feel-ings for this boy were“strong,” but that does notjustify her behavior. Be-cause she was his guardian,with legal parental controlover him until he turned18, what she did wascreepy, wrong and possiblyillegal. And her actions alsoseem to have directly led tothe breakup of your family.

Your mother’s formerlover may have contactedyou because he is havinghis #MeToo moment.Perhaps he is trying to takeresponsibility for the im-pact of his own behaviorwhile grappling with theimpact of your mother’sbehavior on his life.

Do you think a foreignstudent who was basicallyin a powerless situation —legally and physically —was able to fully consent,even if he was 18 when theactual sexual relationshipstarted? Or does this manbelieve that he manipu-lated and used yourmother? (It’s a possibility.)

Don’t let your mother’snormalizing or denialnegate your natural reac-tion. Yes, communicatewith her. Be honest aboutyour conflicted feelings.But your biggest job is tofind a way to accept thetruth and cope with it. Atherapist could help.

Dear Amy: I’m recentlydivorced. I have a longtimefriend who is goingthrough legal proceedingsto end his common-lawrelationship. I’ve alwayshad feelings for him — that“too bad I didn’t meet himfirst” kind.

Now that we are (al-most) in the same place, Iwonder how to let himknow I’d be interested inmore than friendship. I

definitely feel entrenchedin the friend zone. Howcan I find out if he wouldeven entertain the idea?

— Friends Forever?

Dear Friends: This isdelicate, because you’reboth newly single. Contin-ue to see (or be in touchwith) him, and let thefriendship grow. Try topick the right moment tosay: “During my marriage,I definitely had that ‘toobad I didn’t meet you first’feeling about you.” This ishonest on your part butdoesn’t box him in.

His reaction will revealthe zone where he hasparked your relationship.

Dear Amy: When I readthe letter from “Sad Mom,”I recognized my youngerself: a parent of an undiag-nosed autism spectrumchild and a healthy new-born. The behaviors SadMom described do notsound to me like a toddleracting out for attention, butrather one who cannotcontrol his behavior.

I would recommend anevaluation to determinewhether the child is on thespectrum. Early interven-tion is key. Sad Momshould not blame herselffor not bonding with herfirst child. She may need tolearn a new reality.

— Older and Wiser

Dear Wiser: Thank youfor sharing your perspec-tive. While this toddler’sbehavior seemed in thenormal range for a childwho was stressed, yes, heshould be evaluated.

very close to what lookslike a period production,and sometimes we may goin a different direction.

“It’s not about sayingwe’re doing it right. … Wedon’t care about beingdefinitive. We care aboutbeing storytellers.”

The two works thatOpera Atelier will be pre-senting — with a music-dance vignette betweenthem — illuminates whatPynkoski means. Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s“Acteon” and Jean-PhilippeRameau’s “Pygmalion” are17th- and 18th-centuryFrench period pieces, re-spectively, and Opera Atel-ier presents them in waysthat may be surprising to21st-century listeners.

For Opera Atelier ex-pands upon theatricalconventions mostly forgot-ten in our time.

“I think this double billwe’re bringing to Chicago is

the ideal introduction toour aesthetic,” saysPynkoski.

“We open with a stupen-dous piece of storytelling,‘Acteon,’” which, like this“Pygmalion,” is inspired byOvid’s “Metamorphoses.”

“Acteon has to stand on a

stage looking into a pool ofwater and describe histransformation as he trans-forms into a beast. And he’sstanding there as nothing’shappening.

“We’re not having himrun offstage and come backon with a mask. The

libretto doesn’t allow forthat. He tells the audiencewhat he sees in the water.”

But via urgent delivery,striking costumes, an imagi-natively designed set and agreat deal of dance, thesoliloquies take on vivid lifeand meaning, Pynkoskibelieves.

“What we define as act-ing today is very differentfrom what it was before,” hesays.

“Actors used to be story-tellers. Their job was toengage the audience. Itwasn’t about the actornecessarily feeling emotion.They felt the actor’s job wasto make the audience feel.

“Now in the theater, theaudience is meant to bevoyeurs. There’s an invisi-ble wall that we built.”

At Opera Atelier, “We doeverything in practically aBrechtian way to breakthrough that wall, addressthe audience, talk to theaudience. … We’re not doingthat so that you watch thesingers go through poses.We’re trying to help youhear better. We’re trying tohelp you follow the storybetter.”

That Opera Atelier ismaking this belated Chi-cago debut, 33 years after itwas founded, owes to Patri-cia Barretto, the HarrisTheater president and CEOwho was executive directorof the Toronto companyfrom 2010 to 2015.

“The work is so differentfrom what’s done all over

the world,” says Barretto, inexplaining why she wasdetermined to bring OperaAtelier to Chicago.

“These artists are reallytrained in the art of Frenchbaroque — in their gestures,in the movement, in theway they sing and deliverthe piece.

“I think what makesOpera Atelier unique istheir unbelievable ability togo back to these periodworks and retell the storieswith the freshest of lenses. Iremember when we wereat the Salzburg Festival, wehad someone who came upto us from the audiencesaid they hadn’t seen thiskind of production in over20 years.

“They’re able to presentwork in the way it waspresented in the house ofLouis XIV and make itseem so fresh and relevantand beautiful to look at.”

Barretto hopes that theChicago performances willgive Opera Atelier, whichhas built a formidable repu-tation in Europe, a higherprofile in the U.S., where ithas performed infre-quently.

Why did the founderstitle the company OperaAtelier?

“We wanted a name thatdidn’t pin us down to justone art form,” saysPynkoski, whose Chicagoperformances will be ac-companied by Tafelmusik,a Toronto baroque orches-tra long associated with

Opera Atelier.“An atelier is a space

where you experiment,where you work, whereyou create,” adds Pynkoski.

“We decided: Let’s justkeep it nebulous. It leavesus possibilities.”

Opera Atelier performs at7:30 p.m. Thursday andFriday at the Harris Thea-ter, 205 E. Randolph St.;$35-$135; 312-334-7777.

Actress Alicia Silverstone had firsthand knowledgeof how devastating the fires are. “I know a lot of peo-ple who were affected and evacuated, and some arestill holding ground and not leaving. It’s really bad,”she said.

“This is happening because we have a problem,global warming, and we must address it. We’ve beentalking about this for a very long time. Brilliant scien-tists have been talking about this for a very long time.We have a very short window where we can makechange — so must do it.”

The awards — celebrating “game-changers, rulebreakers and trailblazers” — included honorees suchas Chrissy Teigen, Janelle Monae, Emma Gonzalezand Aly Raisman.

MJ Rodriguez, who presented Monae’s award, saidbeing around so many strong women was encourag-ing. “I get to be around women who have imple-mented so much change in the world, not onlythrough their art, but through their works, their ac-tion,” Rodriguez said.

“You never know what toexpect as an opener, so thatyou were all singing alongmeans a lot,” singer-song-writer Lucy Dacus said toher captivated audienceMonday night at ThaliaHall. “Please be this nice tomy other friends.”

The first performance ofa sold-out, two-night standin Pilsen, Dacus was open-ing for Phoebe Bridgers,who was opening for JulienBaker, who was opening forthe trio’s newly-mintedsupergroup, Boygenius.

But where many actsbestowed with such a mon-iker often get caught up in amess of their excess andexpectations, theirs is theegoless manifestation ofyour indie rock dreams —replete with just as muchdesire, longing and isola-tion as self-assurance andawareness; proof that gui-tar music exists beyond thehairy-chested trope.

Though each member wasquiet on stage, the attentionthey commanded throughtheir music was powerful —in contrast to the bombastof guitar music.

While the band is new —its debut, self-titled EPreleased just a few days ago— critically acclaimedalbums, spots on late-nightTV and major festival ap-pearances had alreadybonded the three voicesbehind it. Dacus is stillriding the success of her2018 sophomore album“Historian,” while Bridgers’“Stranger in the Alps” andBaker’s “Turn Out theLights” have both recentlyturned a year old.

Before banding together,the young artists took timeto recognize their ownpaths to the stage with solosets. Just under 40 minuteseach (with the exception ofBaker, who squeaked out abit more time as the eve-ning’s headliner), it becameincreasingly clear whythese musicians’ marriage

of their sounds work sowell together in Boygenius.

Dacus brought the roughand tumble — the slow andsteady build-into-fuzzydistortion and near-yellingher husky vocal lends itselfto when she relinquishescontrol. Bridgers’ melan-choly Americana kept thecrowd still and silent, evenas the venue’s bartenderswere using the popcornmachine in the back. Whilethe majority of Bridgers’ setheld a somber tone in com-parison to Dacus’ catharsis,her deadpan humor andawkward confessionalseased its thickness. Bothartists felt more like oldfriends sharing their stories— not singer-songwriterswaxing poetic with some-thing to prove.

After an emo-flecked,hourlong offering balancedsquarely on the shouldersof Julien Baker — equippedwith a looper pedal, guitarand piano — Boygeniustook the stage with a five-piece backing band, open-

ing with the acoustic guitar-driven “Souvenir” beforeripping into the Dacus-led,indie stomper “Bite theHand.”

Playing its six-track EP infull, the trio’s vocal roundsbuilt an echo-chamber ofgolden tones. While theirstyles don’t overlap signifi-cantly, their individualhallmarks were highlightedwhile never quite soundinglike a solo release from anyparty. As each picked up aguitar for the twang-tinged“Me & My Dog,” Bridgers’soft strumming was punc-tuated by Dacus’ need totinker — the tension build-ing as the three harmonizedon the line “I dream aboutit.” Bridgers let her vocal fly,pushing it to maximumvolume for the first timewhile Baker pulled back.For a moment, the tactilitywas almost too much tohandle.

The smoldering “Salt inthe Wound” followed;Baker wielding her six-string like the guitar hero

she was born to be as Brid-gers and Dacus bowed ather feet.

“They say the hearts andminds are on your side,”they sang in unison, theirvoices escalating towardthe crash of drums anddroning reverberations.“They say the finish line isin your sights / What theydon’t say is what’s on theother side.”

As Boygenius capped thenight with a completelyunplugged, almost inaudi-ble but hauntingly present

take on “Ketchum, ID” —you could hear a pin dropinside Thalia Hall.

Collaboration with yourpeers can be life-affirming.In the case of Boygenius,that much is true. If thisjoint tour was meant todouble as a test to see if thetrio could travel as its ownentity — the rapturousapplause from Mondaynight’s crowd provided aclear answer.

Boygenius: Three women unite in rock, no egosBy Jessi RotiChicago Tribune

Given the ambition ofVince Staples’ first twoalbums — the sprawling“Summertime ’06” (2015)and the more experimentalEDM accents that flavored“Big Fish Theory” (2017) —the 22-minute “FM!” (DefJam) may sound slight bycomparison, a place-holderinstead of a major state-ment. But listen closely,and the subject matter andthe sequencing suggest amore carefully consideredwork, one that provides apocket-sized insight intothe MC’s childhood.

Framed as an FM radiobroadcast, with skits thatinclude Los Angeles morn-ing-show host Big Boy,“FM!” provides a snapshotof what it felt like to growup in Long Beach, Calif., inthe early 2000s. Stapleswas a hustler on the gang-dominated north side ofLong Beach, a lifestyle thatran in his family. Tradi-tional childhood options —youth centers, the YMCA,sports leagues, Boy Scouts— weren’t available.

The new album blendsthe G-funk that definedthe Long Beach sound of

the ’90s via the music ofSnoop Dogg, Warren G andNate Dogg with cautionarytales. The West Coastbrand of hip-hop was partymusic for forgotten com-munities, and producerKenny Beats demonstratesthe durability of that buoy-ant groove. But amid theeternal summer of South-ern California, darknessbleeds in from the edges.

“We gon’ party till thesun or the guns come out,”Staples raps at the outset,underlining the notion thatevery moment of joy isimpossible to fully inhabitbecause a Long Beach kidalways needs to be lookingover his shoulder for the

next threat, the next gun. An eerie, trap-beat dark-

ness wafts through “Don’tGet Chipped,” but there isanger and resilience aswell. Staples reflects on aclassic song from hisgrandparents’ era, SamCooke’s “A Change IsGonna Come,” and how itsprayer for deliverance hasbeen answered for a cho-sen few. Staples was thewayward kid who got out.He escaped the LongBeach carnage throughmusic. But he can’t turn hisback on his “Norf Side”crew, the kids with nofuture: “Sammy told methat a change gone come/I’m not going if my gangwon’t come,” he raps.

On “Tweakin’,” he offersa eulogy to the ones whodidn’t make it. Sadnesstinges Staples’ testimonial,but mostly he soundsnumb. Kehlani’s singing onthe chorus provides norelief, no “peace of mind.”Staples may have movedfrom the old, battle-scarred neighborhood, butit’s still with him.

‘FM!’Vince Staples★★★ (out of 4)

By Greg KotChicago Tribune

Spoiler alert: Do not readif you have not yet watched“Bluebeard’s Castle,” thefirst season finale of “You.”

On Lifetime’s “You,” JoeGoldberg’s (Penn Badgley)past has come back tohaunt him — just in timefor the show to take itshiatus between seasons.

At the end of the firstseason, showrunner SeraGamble opted to bringJoe’s ex Candace (AmbyrChilders) walking throughthe doors of his bookstore,very much alive and verymuch to the surprise of Joehimself. This was a majorplot deviation from Car-oline Kepnes’ novel of thesame name, on which theshow has been based. Thenovel ends with Joe find-ing a new object of obses-sion in the form of a youngwoman named Amy.

“The philosophy isalways to remix the booksin a way that makes emo-tional sense,” Gamble said.“The way you feel whenyou read the books, wewant to capture that in theshow a little deeper.”

Gamble also wanted tosubvert expectations abouthow Joe and Candace’srelationship ended. Thenovel leaves the storylinevague, and as she and herwriters room were work-ing on episodes, she saysthey realized prettyquickly that the audiencewould assume Joe hadkilled her.

“That started a conver-sation about, ‘What if hedidn’t, what if he justthought he did?’ ” she says.“It just opened up all ofthese avenues for JoeGoldberg’s future that(were) irresistible.”

The history the audi-ence knows Joe and Can-dace have had — toldthrough his perspectiveand that of her friends inthe first season — sets uphigher stakes for the al-

ready ordered-secondseason than if Gamble hadfollowed the book verba-tim and introduced a newcharacter.

The character of Joe’syoung neighbor Paco (LucaPadovan) also became animportant ingredient inraising the stakes for Joe.All season long, Joe tried toprotect Paco from hismother’s abusive boyfriendRon (Daniel Cosgrove) andin the finale ended upkilling him — in front ofPaco’s eyes.

“Paco has been a charac-ter that illuminates thebest, most compassionateside of Joe,” Gamble said.

Gamble notes that Joe“doesn’t go around killingpeople for no reason” buthas a “very strong code.”Usually his self-interestand preservation is at thecenter, which is what ledhim down the road tokilling his girlfriend’s med-dling best friend Peach(Shay Mitchell) earlier inthe season and even thatgirlfriend, Beck (ElizabethLail), herself in the finale.But in this instance he putconcerns about Paco first.

In many ways, Pacocould be seen as a looseend for Joe going forwardin the story. After all, notonly does he know whatJoe did to Ron, but he alsocaught Beck trying toescape the basement of thebookstore, where Joe hadimprisoned her. But inchoosing not to help Beck,Paco proved his loyalty toJoe.

“Paco has been exposedto Joe (after) being trainedto see Joe as this hero andsavior, so the biggest trage-dy for me in the finale isthat moment where Pacodoes the math and realizesthere must be somethingvery deeply wrong withher or Joe would never dosomething like this to(her),” Gamble said.

While Beck and Joe’sstory came to an end in thefirst season finale, in manyways Candace and Joe’sstory, as well as Paco andJoe’s story, may just bebeginning.

“Do you remember in‘Kill Bill’ when Uma Thur-man’s character says to thelittle girl, ‘Come find me in20 years?’ When we wereshooting those last sceneswith Paco, that’s what keptpopping into my head,”Gamble says. “What I’mmost interested in is doingan entire TV show aboutwho Paco grows up to bebecause he spent sometime with Joe.”

Of course, Gamble isn’tactually making that areality just yet. The secondseason of “You” will followsome of the themes anddynamics of Kepnes’ se-quel, “Hidden Bodies,” asthe story follows Joe, whoworries over the “stressand the pressure of whathe has done.” While hemay be able to justify andlive with the murders,there are people still outthere who are trying to getto the bottom of them,leaving him vulnerable.

LIFETIME

After 92 years, the nameof the Oriental Theatre isgoing to disappear. Earlynext year, the venerable,historic venue built inChicago at 24 W. RandolphSt. in 1926 on the site of theIroquois Theater will be-come known as the JamesM. Nederlander Theatre.

“When you look at lega-cies in the theater world,”said Lou Raizin, the presi-dent of Broadway in Chi-cago, “this was the rightthing to do.”

Broadway in Chicago isowned by entities con-trolled by James L. Neder-lander, the president of theNederlander Organizationand the son of the lateJames M. Nederlander. TheNederlanders, a famousfamily business in liveentertainment, have owned

theaters in Chicago foryears, as they have in NewYork, Detroit and othercities, but the family namehas never adorned a Loopmarquee. In the case of theformer Shubert Theatre(now the CIBC Theatre) at18 W. Monroe St., the Ned-erlanders have owned andoperated the theater sincethe 1990s, but at first did sounder the name of theirarch Broadway rivals, theShuberts.

But now the Nederlan-ders will get their marqueemoment in the Loop.

Raizin said he wanted toallow his boss to honor hisfather, a famously ebullientman who liked to call Chi-cago a “run town” andalways described its ap-petite for live entertain-ment with enthusiasm, justas the senior James M.Nederlander was able tohonor his father, the family

patriarch David T. Neder-lander, by renaming theformer Billy Rose and Na-tional Theatre on W. 41stStreet in New York in hisname.

That was in 1980; some

years thereafter, NewYork’s Nederlander Thea-tre famously hosted theoriginal production of“Rent.” James M. Neder-lander died in 2016 at theage of 94, after remaining

involved in the business ofBroadway, and its tours andtryouts, until his last days.

“I know that this renam-ing would have meant somuch to my father,” JamesL. Nederlander said onMonday. “I am thrilled weare able to rename a theaterin his name, after I sawhow touched he was whenhe renamed the theater onBroadway after my grand-father.”

While the Oriental Thea-tre — known as the OrientalTheatre Ford Center for thePerforming Arts after arestoration in 1998 by theCanadian impresario GarthDrabinsky — is a historicname, the word “oriental”now is sometimes viewedas patronizing, objectifyingand offensive. As was thecase with many Rapp andRapp movie palaces de-signed to transport ordi-nary hard-working Chi-

cagoans to fantasticalrealms, the 2,243-seatOriental featured “exotic”decor, in this case based onSouth Asian motifs. InRaizin’s mind, that wasanother good reason tochange the name.

“The time for the Orien-tal Theatre has gone,” hesaid.

The precise date for thename change has yet to bedetermined, since it willnecessitate a new marqueeand signage, which willrequire the approval ofvarious public bodies, al-though since the new Ned-erlander Theatre already isowned by the Nederlandersit is unlikely that anythingor anyone will get in theway of the decision.

really fun about playing charac-ters who give full rein to their idsand to their urges,” he said, “whoare not measured or governed bythe filters that allow us to controlwhat we do and what we say andbeing able to indulge in hyperbo-lic activities. Just how emotional alot of these characters are.They’re not just crazy chaoscharacters, a lot of it comes frombeing very emotional and notoftentimes knowing how to dealwith it.”

Mantzoukas is the go-to manon a number of projects includingthe CBS All Access comedy “NoActivity” and the Netflix ani-mated series “Big Mouth,” thelatter of which has him playing apubescent character who is basedon a real person who “was havingsex with his pillow as a kid. I justmet the guy for the first time whowas the one (doing) the pillowand it was a pretty wild conversa-tion. He was like, ‘I can’t believehow crazy people think it is’ —the pillow (loving). And I was like,‘Oh, really? Because it’s pretty outthere, man.’ It was a funny con-versation. I think he loves theshow, he’s a normal guy with agreat sense of humor.”

When asked to share a worstmoment from his career, Mant-zoukas recalled an experience onthe show that made him famous.

My worst moment …“When I started ‘The League,’

my character was introduced inSeason 2 and part of that firstepisode was shot in Las Vegas. Sowe all went to Vegas and I’m kindof brand-new to the show, I thinkI’d only worked with them for aweek so far, something like that.

“So a tiny bit of backgroundabout me: I have a life-threat-ening food allergy to eggs. Muchin the same way that people haveallergies to bee stings or nuts, Ihave a fatal allergy to eggs. Any-thing that has egg in the ingredi-ent or the preparation, so I have

to be super aware all the time ofwhat I’m eating.

“It’s our last day in Vegas. It’sbeen super fun and that day it’s abunch of my scenes, then we’releaving the next day. So I go downto set (in the hotel’s casino) and Istop at the Starbucks in the lobbyand I get a coffee and a yogurtwith fruit and granola, like aparfait. I read the ingredients,totally safe.

“I have a couple of bites of itand immediately something isvery wrong. So I say to the personbehind the counter, ‘Is it possiblethat there’s egg in this?’ And shegoes, ‘Let me call the kitchendownstairs, which makes those.’So she calls down and then hangsup the phone and says, ‘Oh yeah,there’s egg whites in the granola.’And I was like, oh boy — this is notgood.

“First I call the AD (assistantdirector) who is the person who’sexpecting me on set right now.And he knows about my allergybecause he’s had to handle it thewhole time. And I’m like, ‘Hey,I’ve just eaten something witheggs in it.’ And he says, ‘Go di-rectly to your room, I’m sending amedic to you.’ So they meet me inmy room, they give me Benadryland there’s this period where it’slike, what are we going to do?Should I just do the EpiPen andsee if I can keep working? Andthe medic is watching me for a

little while and what happens is,everything starts to swell and thethreat is that my throat will swellshut. Those are the stakes. Andthe medic is like, ‘No, we gotta getan ambo.’

“Now during all of this, theguys are doing their scenesdownstairs. They’re working.And then I’m wheeled past themon an ambulance gurney withmedics and EMTs and I don’tthink the actors had been toldwhat was happening, so therewas definitely a palpable: ‘Whatis going on?’ as I was being racedthrough a full casino floor, shirt-less on a gurney on my way to thehospital, where I stayed for six orseven hours while they treatedme.

“So then they were like, OKyou can go. And I go back to thehotel and I’m on all of thesedrugs and just completely crazy.And because it was our last day ofshooting and I had missed almostall it, they asked me, ‘Do youthink you can shoot? If not, that’sfine. We’ll pull an insurance dayand we’ll see if we can stay anextra day.’ And I said, ‘No, let’s doit.’ So I shot an entire day’s worthof scenes — that would havetaken me hours to shoot — I shotit compressed into an hour and ahalf. And I’ll be honest, I was in amedical drug-induced blackout,practically. I remember none ofit. It was like a fever dream.

“And all those scenes, when Ilook at them now, I’m like, ‘I don’tremember this at all.’ And be-cause ‘The League’ is a com-pletely improvised show — there’sa written outline but there’s nowritten dialogue — I’m improvis-ing all of my lines and I feel likewhen I watch that now, I’mwatching myself go just on in-stinct. Like, I’m just operating onpure instinct and intuition be-cause I had so little control. It wasso crazy. The guys (his co-stars)were like, ‘Looking in your eyesduring those scenes, it’s like youweren’t even there.’ In betweenscenes I would just go and laydown on a couch and shut downfor a few minutes.”

He knew what was happeningimmediately after a few bitesof the parfait?

“Oh, instantly. Sometimes if it’sjust a little amount, I’ll get sickbut it’ll take me five minutesbefore I notice. But this happenedso quickly, I was already havingtrouble breathing.

“Around that same time, I gottwice burned because of theintroduction of eggs to mixologydrinks. I don’t know if you’refamiliar with this, but for somereason bartenders started puttingegg in drinks. Once it happenedbecause the cocktail shaker hadbeen used for an egg drink beforethey made mine, and that put me

in the hospital. And then once ithappened even worse because Iwent on a date with a woman, andunbeknownst to me her drink hadegg in it — and when we made outat the end of the night, I was like,‘This is so weird. I feel a weirdsensation in my mouth that Iassociate only with an allergicreaction to eggs, but we haven’teaten anything tonight.’ Shedidn’t even know I had the allergyand she said, ‘Oh! My drink hadeggs in it!’ And I was like, ‘What?Aw (man).’ So even a traceamount will have an effect on me.By the way, this article just gotshifted to the science section.”

The takeaway …“It really did alter how I do

things. I started controlling moreand more how and where I gotmy food — when I’m on a jobspecifically. I really try to limitwhatever I’m eating so there aremore checks and balances so Idon’t get burned. This is the ver-sion of this story that is the funni-est or the most interesting, but ithas also happened a couple ofother times on sets and stuffbecause catering didn’t followthrough. It’s become enough of aheadache that I need to be morevigilant and in control when I’mworking. I can’t trust the Star-bucks even if the ingredients arefine. I just have to be more incontrol.

“I shot ‘The Long Dumb Road’in Albuquerque and our catererwas like, ‘I can make you a specialthing.’ But there was one veganplace so I was like: ‘Listen: Justfor safety’s sake — because I’m inevery scene of this movie — everysingle day I will eat the falafelsandwich from the vegan placeand it’s done. I’ll eat the samething; I’ll eat it twice a day on thedays we eat two meals. And Idon’t care if I don’t feel like eatingit, but we know it’s safe so let’sjust do that every single day.’ Sothat’s what I did for a month andit was great, it gave me peace ofmind.”

stick to walls, and spin a web, andhas the strength of 12 men. Wesaid just because he can do thatdoesn’t mean everything wouldbe perfect in his life. We createdthe first superheroes who weren’tperfect, who worried about pay-ing rent. It was satire — fantasy ina realistic setting.”

Lee’s superheroes lived in thesame world as the rest of us, com-plete with all of its social ills, andtheir foibles made it that mucheasier for fans to connect to them.That more naturalistic approachto character — and the wrylycomic sensibility Lee brought to it— has continued to shape not onlyMarvel’s films but also franchiseslike “The Incredibles.” And even,it could be argued, comedies thathave nothing to do with capes orspandex.

As Seth Rogen wrote on Twit-ter on Monday, “Thank you StanLee for making people who feeldifferent realize they are special.”

2He perfected the concept of the shareduniverse.

Lee didn’t single-handedlycreate the concept of differentcharacters inhabiting the sameworld; Disney had its own sharedanimated Mickey Mouse universedating to the 1920s, while Uni-versal Studios monsters likeFrankenstein and the Wolf Manwould periodically pop up in oneanother’s films. But before Leecame along, comic book charac-ters had, for the most part, beenisolated in their own narratives(with the notable exception of DCComics’ Justice League seriesuniting Batman, Superman, Won-der Woman and other heroes fora specific set of stories).

Having established that Mar-vel’s superheroes primarily livedin our world — many of them inLee’s native New York — it onlymade sense to Lee that theywould sometimes bump into eachother around the neighborhood.Under his stewardship, Marvelcreated a sprawling set of inter-connected narratives in whichone character’s storyline couldimpact another’s and superheroescould team up to fight a commonenemy — or, just as often, squab-ble with one another.

Mary Ann Halford, a NewYork-based media and entertain-ment strategist at OC&C Consult-ing, said Lee’s ability to build outan overlapping tapestry of storieswith the comics laid the ground-work for Marvel Studios’ success-ful run of films. That businessmodel has become the drivingforce of not only the box officebut the small screen as well, andhas been copied, with varyingdegrees of success, by other stu-dios — most notably, WarnerBros. with its DC Comics films.

“He was able to build intercon-

nectedness with the comic booksand the characters, and that laid aweb, if you will, for the films,” shesaid. Disney will continue tobenefit from that foresight withits upcoming roster of films, in-cluding the March release “Cap-tain Marvel” and May’s “Aveng-ers” sequel. Its universe is aboutto get bigger after Disney brings“X-Men” characters, includingWolverine and Deadpool, into itsfold after its $71.3 billion deal tobuy Fox, which produces the“X-Men” movies. “There’s stillgoing to be a tremendous amountof value, and his legacy will liveon.”

3He was a master of fanconnection.

No one worked moretirelessly to cultivate fans thanLee, who was as brilliant at mar-

keting and promotion as he was atcreating indelible characters.Under Lee’s leadership, MarvelComics readers became intimatelyfamiliar with the company’s artistsand writers, and throughout the’60s, Lee wrote a monthly columncalled “Stan’s Soapbox,” whichhe’d often sign with his personalmotto, “Excelsior!”

By the time Hollywood startedcranking out films based on Mar-vel characters, comic book fansfelt so connected to Lee that hebecame a kind of living, breathingsymbol of fandom itself. Leewould go on to make cameo ap-pearances in dozens of films (hewill be seen later this month, inanimated form, in Disney’s “RalphBreaks the Internet”) and showedup at countless fan conventionslike Comic-Con, treating fans likefriends he just hadn’t met yet.

To this day, Lee’s talent fornurturing Marvel’s fan base hasbecome a model for every studiomarketing department when itcomes to managing their ownfranchises, superhero or other-wise.

In an interview with TheTimes in 2012, Lee drove homethe importance of maintainingthat direct connection with fans.For him, it wasn’t simply aboutmaking them feel good; it was acritical component in maintain-ing his success.

“I’ve been in this business solong dealing with fans that I canreally, after launching anything, Ican tell within a couple of days ofreceiving the fan mail and fanemails whether or not we’re onthe right track,” he said.

Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex now has adate for its housewarming party.

The Field Museum’s prime T. rex skele-ton, visible only through a small viewingwindow for much of the last year, will beon view in its new, fully decorated second-floor home beginning Dec. 21, the museumannounced Monday.

The new, 5,100-square-foot display, in aformer movie theater space amid the“Evolving Planet” exhibition, will surroundSue with interactives and other touchesmeant to put the dinosaur in context formuseumgoers.

The largest, most intact T. rex ever foundwas moved out of its longtime home inStanley Field Hall as part of a 125th anni-versary remaking of the central hall.

“Moving her to a smaller hall will reallyemphasize her size,” said Pete Larson, backwhen the museum announced the speci-men would move in August 2017. He waspart of the group of fossil hunters thatdiscovered Sue in the Black Hills of SouthDakota in 1990. “She’s a huge dinosaur, butbecause the room is so large she’s kind ofdwarfed in it. I also think this will givethem a better venue to tell her story in

more detail.”The central hall now has a cast replica of

a titanosaur, one of the largest dinosaursever found, in the main hall, along with newflying reptiles and massive hanging gar-

dens. That display was completed in June.Sue went off exhibit in February and was

quickly remounted in the former 3D movietheater. The museum opened a viewingwindow onto the new digs which meant,

for a while, just seeing this great beast inraw space.

Sue debuted at the Field in 2000, threeyears after the museum won the skeletonat auction for $8.36 million in an intensebidding war.

The T. rex will also look slightly morebarrel-chested than visitors remember.New science since her first display has ledmuseum paleontologist to add gastralia,described as sort of “belly ribs,” to Sue’sfront torso as well as make other adjust-ments to the animal’s posture.

Since the move, Sue also has been sport-ing new official pronouns in museum liter-ature. Because the animal’s sex is unknown— it is named after its founder Sue Hen-drickson — and in the spirit of LGBTQinclusivity, the Field now uses “they/them”to refer to its top specimen.

“I always thought Sue was swallowed upin this massive space,” said Field CEORichard Lariviere, speaking earlier thisyear as the museum started to assembleMaximo, the chosen name for the Patagoti-tan mayorum skeleton. “You finally get asense of what a massive, terrifying animalthat must have been.”

HEALTH & FAMILY

When Katherine Fregawas diagnosed withHodgkin lymphoma eightyears ago at age 17, she wasso sick that all she couldfocus on was starting che-motherapy to treat heraggressive blood cancer. Itwas her dad who thoughtto ask the oncologist, “Howis this treatment going toaffect her ability to havechildren?”

The oncologist dis-cussed the risks but stres-sed that Frega needed tostart treatment right away.

The question of fertilityis often overlooked whenyoung cancer patients arebattling a life-threateningillness. And because healthinsurance doesn’t typicallycover fertility preservationcare, patients and theirfamilies may be deterred bythe cost.

But a growing number ofstates now require plans tocover such services whenmedically necessary treat-ment jeopardizes fertility.

Treatment for cancerand other serious condi-tions involves toxic chemo-therapy drugs, radiationand surgery that can causeinfertility in women andmen.

The cost to freeze pa-tients’ healthy eggs, spermor embryos for future usecan be a major barrier, saidDr. Eden Cardozo, a repro-ductive endocrinologistand director of the fertilitypreservation program atthe Women & InfantsFertility Center in Provi-dence, R.I.

“(Patients) have to movequickly,” she said. “Theydon’t have time to raisefunds from family andfriends. They don’t havetime to petition their insur-ance company.”

Reproductive healthadvocates argue that fertil-ity preservation should beviewed as a core compo-nent of cancer care inyounger people, not as anoptional infertility offering.

New laws in Illinois,Delaware and Marylandrequire plans to includethis benefit. The require-ment in Illinois and Mary-land starts in 2019. Con-necticut and Rhode Islandpassed similar laws lastyear.

The state measures don’tapply to companies that areself-funded, meaning theypay their employee claimsdirectly rather than buyingstate-regulated insurancepolicies for that purpose.They also don’t apply togovernment-funded pro-grams such as Medicaid or

the military’s Tricare pro-gram.

Although freezing spermand embryos has beencommon medical practicefor decades, egg freezingwas considered experimen-tal by professional groups

until 2012. As the technol-ogy has improved, the needfor insurance coverage hasgrown, said Joyce Reinecke,executive director of theAlliance for Fertility Pres-ervation, an advocacygroup for cancer patients.

When Frega’s cancerdidn’t respond to chemo-therapy, her doctors recom-mended a bone marrowtransplant in January 2012.Even if her eggs hadn’tbeen damaged by the che-motherapy, the transplantwould likely cause perma-nent infertility, she wastold. So Frega took hor-mones to stimulate herovaries to produce moreeggs, among other things,and seven were retrievedduring an outpatient pro-cedure days before hertransplant.

Frega’s parents paid$10,000 for the medica-tions and egg retrieval, asignificant amount but lessthan what many pay. Theywere aided by LivestrongFertility, a nonprofit groupthat provides access todiscounted fertility preser-vation services for cancerpatients who meet incomeguidelines.

Frega has good insur-ance through her mother’semployer plan. “They cov-ered everything else, exceptfor this,” she said. “Theyconsidered it not medicallynecessary.”

Cancer-free followingtwo bone marrow trans-plants, Frega, now 25, is athird-year medical studentat the Upstate MedicalUniversity in Syracuse, N.Y.She plans to specialize inoncology.

Between 20 and 70 per-

cent of cancer patientsexperience some degree offertility impairment, ac-cording to Cardozo inRhode Island. People withother conditions such aslupus and rheumatoidarthritis who are treatedwith chemotherapy drugsmay be affected, as maypatients with conditionssuch as endometriosis whorequire surgery.

Despite the much-bally-hooed examples of techcompanies like Facebook,Apple and Google that offeregg freezing as an employ-ee perk, cryopreservation,as it’s called, isn’t a typicalemployee benefit.

Only 6 percent of largecompanies with 500 ormore workers offer eggfreezing for employees ortheir spouses, according tothe 2017 annual employersurvey by benefits consult-ant Mercer. About a quartercover in vitro fertilization.Forty-four percent of largeemployers don’t offer anyinfertility services, thesurvey found.

Men face the same infer-tility risk when they needcancer treatment.

When Blake Hornbrook,an Army medic at FortCampbell, Ky., had surgeryto remove a canceroustesticle in the fall of 2015,he and his wife, Kelsey,were stationed in Germany.Hornbrook, then 26, lookedinto fertility preservation

while overseas, but theannual storage fee of 1,000euros (about $1,150) de-terred the couple.

Hornbrook required asecond surgery severalmonths later to see if thecancer had spread to hislymph nodes. The couplereturned to the UnitedStates and drove directlyfrom the airport to a spermbank in Fairfax, Va. It costroughly $400 for the initialappointment to provide asperm specimen and storeit, Hornbrook said.

Tricare covered Horn-brook’s cancer treatment,but it didn’t pay for fertilitypreservation or for IVF,which he estimated costthe couple $6,500 in clinicfees. Tricare provideddiscounts on some of thefertility drugs.

Their daughter, Harper,was born seven monthsago, and Hornbrook’s can-cer remains in remission.

For young cancer pa-tients, the cost of storingthe eggs or sperm that havebeen preserved can add up.Even if a state has a fertilitypreservation law, it typi-cally doesn’t cover thosecosts, Reinecke said.

The Hornbrooks pay$480 annually to store hissperm and $375 to storetheir remaining embryos.Frega pays $1,000 annuallyto store her eggs.

Frega hopes to be able toconceive naturally andknowing she has frozeneggs available is “relieving,but also anxiety-produc-ing,” she said. If she can’tget pregnant later on, shemay have to pay $10,000 ormore for IVF as well.“That’s what lies ahead,”she said.

Sixteen states requireinsurers to offer or coverinfertility services to someextent, according to infer-tility advocacy organizationResolve. Requirementsvary: Insurers may have tocover diagnosis or testingfor infertility, for example,but not treatments like invitro fertilization or fertilitymedications, said BarbaraCollura, president and CEOof Resolve.

Typically, state infertilitycoverage laws require cou-ples to try to get pregnantfor a year or two beforethey’re eligible for insur-ance coverage of IVF orother treatments.

That requirement makeslittle sense for patientstrying to preserve theirfertility before undergoingmedically necessary canceror other treatment.

“These people aren’tinfertile,” Collura said.“They need to undergosome sort of interventionthat is going to impair theirfuture fertility, and what wesay is that if it’s medicallynecessary, they should havea right to have it covered.”

So was the case withIllinois’ first student sexualmisconduct conference,held Friday at the Uni-versity of Chicago.

Malay Trivedi, sopho-more and student body vice

president, heard rumblingsof Title IX concerns amid aclimate of the #MeToomovement and wanted toeducate himself and ensurethe university’s environ-ment was safe for its stu-dents. But he came upempty.

“I found very, very littleopportunities for studentsto engage in the conversa-

tion, so instead of simplygiving up, I figured thereare a lot of other people outthere going through thesame thing,” Trivedi said.

“I worked with campusadministrators and learnedmore about the topic my-self, and then I put togetherthis conference for otherstudents like myself.”

The daylong event fea-

tured panelists of staff fromIllinois universities andstudents, together in con-versation about new waysand best practices to com-bat sexual misconduct ontheir campuses.

“By looking at differentviewpoints and angles withpeers and panelists, ideallythe goal was you’ll be ableto come here for the full

day and have an arsenal ofdifferent methods to battlesexual misconduct,”Trivedi said.

Brandy Cisneros, an18-year-old freshman atWilbur Wright College,came as a school senatorwith a group of her fellowstudent leaders.

“I didn’t know that muchabout Title IX,” she said.

“I’ve been learning aboutall this to take it back to the23 clubs that we oversee, togain knowledge and spreadit wherever we can —where it’s needed on cam-pus.”

As a young adult, LindaKay Klein had not had sex,but she was convincedthere was a possibility shewas pregnant. So much ofwhat she had been taughtabout sex was focused onstaying pure. What if, evenas a virgin, there was achance she failed by notfollowing the never-quite-explained rules of herevangelical youth?

Klein describes how aculture focused on sexualpurity surrounded herwhen she was a teenager inthe 1990s, and how thathaunted a generation ofgirls like her throughadulthood, in her newbook “Pure: Inside theEvangelical MovementThat Shamed a Generationof Young Women and HowI Broke Free.”

While her church youthgroup, she writes, oftendiscussed the importanceof sexual purity, there wasuncertainty about whatexactly purity meant.Should you wait untilmarriage to have sex? Evenwait to kiss your partneruntil the wedding day?Nonetheless, the impor-tance of being sexuallypure couldn’t be moreclear: To be pure was to begood; to be impure was tobe bad and put a futurerelationship or your soul injeopardy. Staying pure wasdirectly connected to self-worth and being a Chris-tian, Klein said.

And this wasn’t just aconversation in her Mid-western youth group. Atthis time, celebrities likeJessica Simpson werelauded for waiting untilmarriage to have sex.

The messages aroundsex were heavily bent onnot becoming a womanwho tempted men. “Stum-bling block” was a termthat described women andgirls who were deemedseductresses, who wouldtrip men and boys on their

pathways to God, she said.“I have never personallyheard boys and men re-ferred to as stumblingblocks for women and girlsand certainly not for theirsexual temptation,” Kleinsaid.

Klein’s own experiencewith sex created night-mares and anxiety, rootedin teachings she grew upwith that she felt drownedher in shame.

But by interviewingother people she grew upwith and hearing similarstories — and then talkingto people across the coun-try who echoed the samephrases and experiences —she realized it was a muchlarger issue.

Some women she inter-viewed said they saved sexuntil marriage, expectingthe experience to be a fairytale, but instead found itwas not easy. “If you don’thave a blissful perfectsexual life, oftentimesyou’re told it’s because youwere impure before mar-riage,” she said.

Others — men andwomen — had physicalreactions that made themunable to engage in sex.“People get married andstart to be physical for thefirst time in the marriagebed and struggle formonths and report thatthings get better,” she said.“Other people struggle fordecades, and it never gets

better.”Klein explained that the

lack of sexual educationhad lasting impacts. “Wenever learned anythingabout how sex works ortalked about sex itself,” shesaid. “All we talked aboutwas us and whether wewould be good people orbad people, pure or im-pure, loved or lucky to findanyone who would everlove us, based on our sexu-al purity or lack thereof.”

Instead, she said, itwould have been useful tolearn values and ethicsaround sex — more of aholistic toolbox withwhich to make decisions.

“When I was growingup, I was really given onetool to make every rela-tionship and sexual deci-sion, which was this rulerthat had a line on it some-where — that was a linethat if I crossed it, I wouldbe impure. It was reallyambiguous where the linewas,” she said.

In thinking about howto approach a discussion ofsex with their children,Klein suggests that parentsshould first work throughwhat they have beentaught about sex and howit has impacted them.

“If we don’t do thatdeconstruction, we aregoing to inadvertently endup teaching what we weretaught,” she said. “Wemight not teach it inwords, we might teach it inhow our face reacts, or weteach it in what we don’tsay, or we might teach it ina story that we tell aboutsomeone else.”

Healing for her camethrough speaking abouther experience with oth-ers.

“The more of us who tellthe truth about our ownlives, the more healing ispossible for us on an indi-vidual level, and the morethat change is possible on asocietal level,” she said.

“Sexual assault in anyform, at any age carvesthese wounds onto oursouls forever,” Scholhamersaid. “Even with the helpfrom family and friends,professional support, eventhe tiny few who receive …personal care, concern,belief and support, and theeven fewer of us whowithin the course of thesystem, see justice handedout — even with all of that,those wounds are neverfully healed,” she said.

Vance Pierce, associatedirector of the Center forStudent Involvement at theUniversity of Illinois atChicago, and Brent Turner,executive director of cam-pus life at NorthwesternUniversity, were on the“Sexual Misconduct andOrganizational Dynamics”panel to discuss their expe-riences in forming re-lationships with organiza-

tions such as sororities andfraternities to start a dia-logue about sexual miscon-duct and harassment.

Turner said harm existswhen an organization is inthe shadows. Pierce saidchange is slow but happen-ing.

“There’s some schoolswho’ve been doing thiswork for years, and thereare still others that are justcatching up,” Turner said.

“To see students speakup and want the engage-ment and want their peergroups to be held account-able — that’s when youstart to feel like it’s chang-ing, that the campus, thecountry, is starting to wantsome differences,” he said.

As part of the event,students had the opportu-nity to contribute to, andsign their names on, anopen letter — drafted byTrivedi — to the governorand attorney general’soffice. The letter will pub-licly announce what they’dlike to see in a state lawaddressing the issue ofsexual misconduct oncampus.

According to the Na-tional Sexual ViolenceResource Center, 20 to 25percent of college womenand 15 percent of collegemen are victims of forcedsex during their time incollege. More than 90percent of sexual assaultvictims on college cam-

puses do not report theassault, and nearly two-thirds of college studentsexperience sexual harass-ment.

Conference participantshelped edit the letter,which will live online forother students to add theirnames to before it’s senton, Trivedi said. Wordingwas pored over to be inclu-sive to diverse populations,and statistics and defini-tions were tweaked sodetails would not be lost intranslation.

Trivedi said he believesthe event will move theneedle on policy-relatedactions when it comes tosexual misconduct oncampus.

“I’m excited to see thatthis student-organizedconference is happening —I think it’s very important,first, that students areorganizing around thisissue, and second, that theyare working on their ownbehalf to become informedand empower themselvesaround the current laws,”said Donna Freitas, authorof “Consent on Campus: AManifesto.”

She said students takingcharge of this issue givesher hope. “I’d love to seethis happen from state tostate or even on a nationallevel eventually.”

Brisk autumn winds andchilly winter temperaturesmay make you more vul-nerable to heart trouble, anew study suggests.

Researchers found “anincrease in heart attacks inlow temperature, strongwind, low sunshine dura-tion and low atmosphericpressure,” said senior au-thor Dr. David Erlinge,head of cardiology at LundUniversity in Sweden.

However, the news isn’tall worrisome. The risk ofheart attack decreasedabout 3 percent for every13-degree Fahrenheitincrease in minimum airtemperature, the studyreports.

“It’s important to notethe overall effect here isquite modest,” said Dr.Usman Baber, an assistantprofessor of cardiology atthe Icahn School of Medi-cine at Mount Sinai in NewYork City.

The study involvedmore than 274,000 Swedeswho had heart attacksbetween 1998 and 2013.Researchers looked up theweather on the day of eachheart attack, to see if cer-tain conditions appeared tomake people more prone

to heart problems.Air temperature had the

most profound effect onheart attack risk, with riskgreater when the tempera-ture dropped below 32degrees.

But short days of sun-shine, brisk winds andlower air pressure alsowere linked to increasedrisk.

The observed increasein heart attack risk couldbe due to weather’s effecton the circulatory system,Erlinge explained.

“We know that cold andwind cause the body tocontract the blood vesselsof the skin to preservetemperature and energy,”Erlinge said. “This causesthe heart to pump againsthigher resistance, whichincreases the stress on theheart and may trigger aheart attack.”

However, the study can’tprove a cause-and-effectrelationship, and Babernoted that many otherfactors may also be at play.

“I suspect the basis forthis observed association isgoing to be more complexthan that,” Baber said.“Physiology may play arole, but other factors likepatient behavior that varieswith weather might play arole.”

“When weatherchanges, people may be-have differently,” Babercontinued. “Maybe theyare more stressed. Stressplays a major role in heartattack risk. Maybe peopledon’t take medications asfrequently.”

Reduced physical activ-ity, dietary changes anddepression are other be-havioral factors that couldinfluence seasonal heartattack risk, the researchersadded. Folks also might bemore prone to respiratoryinfections and flu duringthis type of weather, andthose illnesses are knownrisk factors for heart at-tack. For example, it’s beenshown that a respiratoryinfection can cause a six-fold increase in the risk ofheart attack, the research-ers noted.

If you’re concernedabout your heart health,take the time to slip on asweater or jacket duringbrisk days, or bundle upwhen the mercury takes adeep dive, Erlinge said.

“If you are at high risk,you may avoid going out inreally cold, windyweather,” Erlinge added.

The study was pub-lished in late October inthe journal JAMA Cardiol-ogy.

The aerobic exerciseguidelines from the Ameri-can College of Sports Med-icine and other fitnessgroups are precise: Youshould aim for 150 minutesa week of moderate aero-bic exercise (such as walk-ing), or 90 minutes ofvigorous exercise (such asrunning).

However, the sameorganizations are lessprecise when it comes toresistance (strength) train-ing.

They call for two orthree sessions a week, butmake no reference to totaltime. To add to the confu-sion, strength training canseem complicated, with allthose contraptions andweights and methods oflifting them. To the rescue:A recent paper simplifiesthe variables, and offers apractical and proven pro-gram that can be done inless than an hour a week.

The report, which ap-peared in the journal Ap-plied Physiology, Nutrition,and Metabolism, was writ-ten by a team of U.S. andBritish strength-trainingexperts. Their investiga-tion aimed to determine ifrelatively short strengthtraining sessions utilizingdifferent lift techniquescould improve strength. Italso looked into bloodglucose levels pre- andpost-experiment.

Sixty-two experienced,strength-training subjects(26 male; average age, 40)were placed into one ofthree protocols. A controlgroup performed all exer-cises with two seconds ofconcentric muscle contrac-tion and four seconds ofeccentric contraction —that is, two seconds of thekind of contraction fromlifting and four seconds of

the kind of contractionfrom lowering. A slowgroup did the same exer-cise with 10 seconds oflifting, 10 of lowering. Avery slow group did 30seconds of lowering, 30seconds lifting, 30 secondslowering.

All subjects followed aroutine that consisted oftwo different strengthsessions, of nine exerciseseach, that emphasized thechest press, leg press andpulldown. Subjects per-formed each session once aweek for 10 weeks.

At every workout, sub-jects did the assigned exer-cises to “momentary fail-ure,” which took about 12lifts with the control group,four to five for the groupdoing 10 second contrac-tions and just one lift at30:30:30. As a result, sub-jects spent the same “timeunder load” in each of thethree protocols — about 90seconds.

After 10 weeks, subjectsin all three groups hadgained a significantamount of strength, butthere was no differencebetween groups. All groupsalso had a lower bloodglucose level. This resultwas not statistically signifi-cant, but the authors be-lieve it “might be clinicallyrelevant,” as the drop low-ered subjects into a differ-ent quartile of blood pres-sure risk.

“Our paper showed thatyou don’t need to spendtwo hours in the gym fivetimes a week, as manypeople think,” says leadinvestigator James Fisher,from Southampton SolentUniversity in England.“Even trained individualscontinue to make gainswith less than an hour aweek. My own workoutstake less than 20 minutes,twice a week.”

Consider making time inyour schedule for twoshort strength-trainingsessions a week. Don’tsweat the details. You canlift at whatever pace youenjoy, but it is important,Fisher believes, to reachthe point of momentaryfailure where you can’t doany more repetitions.

Don’t practice explosive,high-speed lifting thatcould lead to injuries. “Stayrelaxed and maintain yourbreathing pattern,” Fisheradvises. “Don’t hold yourbreath.”

This approach should beeven more effective withuntrained lifters, who willhave more to gain frombeginning a strength pro-gram.

“The main message isthat resistance training canbe relatively simple andstill effective,” says Fisher.“It doesn’t have to getcomplicated by varioustraining methods andprotocols.”

Q: I am a nurse whohas smoked for 17 years. Iused to enjoy it. As asingle mom, smokingsometimes felt like myonly friend.

Now I hate it. I getembarrassed lighting upin public, and I hate tothink of the amount ofmoney I have spent notonly on cigarettes butalso on body sprays, airfresheners, teeth whit-eners, etc.

I tried Chantix when itfirst came out, and it washorrible. I had night-mares and suicidalthoughts, and I didn’tcare about anything. Ithought smoking wasbetter than these sideeffects.

This time around Istarted Wellbutrin,which is equivalent toZyban. It has been somuch better. My moodhas been on an even keel.It’s been a week, and Iam down to four a day.

A: We congratulate youon trying to quit smoking.It is one of the most impor-tant things you can do foryour health.

Bupropion (Wellbutrin,Zyban) is prescribed tohelp people stop smoking.It may take two to threemonths of treatment toovercome the habit.Bupropion also is pre-scribed for depression,which might explain yourstable mood.

Q: I have used severalof your recommenda-tions for leg cramps, andthey only worked forabout half of the night.

I mentioned it to mydoctor, and he checkedmy bloodwork. My mag-nesium was low. I startedtaking a supplement andhave not had leg crampssince. I would suggest

letting people know tohave their magnesiumchecked.

A: Others should followyour good example and asktheir doctors to monitortheir magnesium levels. Asmany as half of Americansdon’t get the recom-mended daily allowance ofmagnesium in their diets.Moreover, many medica-tions can deplete the bodyof this essential mineral.

People who are low inmagnesium may have highblood pressure and ahigher risk of heart dis-ease. They also may bemore susceptible to mi-graine headaches and tomenstrual cramps, as wellas muscle cramps. Peoplewith impaired kidneyfunction should not takemagnesium supplements.

Q: One of my massageclients had terrible painand sensitivity in his feetafter playing a lot ofvolleyball. His doctorprescribed Neurontinfor neuropathy. After hetook hundreds of Neu-rontin pills without re-sults, I suggested alpha-lipoic acid and a chiro-practor to check thealignment of bones in hisfeet. His physician saidthat ALA was a goodidea, and he takes 300 mgdaily himself.

My client was out-

raged that the doctorhad never recommendedALA for him. He was totake 200 mg per day tostart. In addition to thechiropractic treatments,this led to improvement.When I remember thatgiant bottle of Neuron-tin, I just cringe.

A: Neuropathy (nervepain) is notoriously diffi-cult to treat. Physiciansfrequently prescribegabapentin (Neurontin) orpregabalin (Lyrica) for thiscondition, with mixedresults.

Alpha-lipoic acid hasbeen studied and foundbeneficial for alleviatingdiabetic neuropathy (Eu-ropean Journal of Endocri-nology, October 2012;Current Medical Researchand Opinion, Aug. 17, 2018).A review of medical re-search found that nu-traceuticals includingvitamin B complex, alpha-lipoic acid, L-acetylcarni-tine, vitamin E and Coen-zyme Q10 may alleviate thepain of neuropathy (Cur-rent Drug Metabolism,2018). The supplementsshould be taken half anhour before meals to en-sure good absorption.

In 30 countries aroundthe world, consumers canslide a roll of dried tobaccointo a sleek device, heat itto 350 degrees and inhale.The result is a hit of nico-tine that feels like it’s com-ing from a traditional ciga-rette without producingany smoke.

Tobacco giant PhilipMorris International wantsto sell this device in the U.S.and is seeking regulatoryapproval on the groundsthat the IQOS system is lessdangerous than old-fash-ioned smoking. But anindependent review ofcompany data submitted tothe Food and Drug Admin-istration shows that IQOSresulted in no less harmthan cigarettes on 23 of 24measures. It may evencause some health prob-lems that cigarettes do not,including liver disease.

The analysis was spear-headed by Big Tobacco foeStanton Glantz, who directsthe University of Californiaat San Francisco Center forTobacco Control Researchand Education. The find-ings appear in eight paperspublished in late Octoberby the BMJ journal To-bacco Control.

The IQOS system fea-tures a cylinder in which ablade is drawn throughdried tobacco productcalled a “HeatStick” andwarmed to 350 degrees. Butunlike a cigarette, whichburns at 600 degrees, aHeatStick never ignites.

That’s why Philip Morrisand its U.S. partner Altriacall IQOS a “reducedharm” tobacco product.The FDA is now activelyreviewing whether thisclaim can be made in theU.S.

In January, an FDAadvisory panel agreed thatswitching completely fromcigarettes to IQOS signifi-

cantly reduces a smoker’sexposure to harmful chemi-cals. But the panel saidPhilip Morris had not dem-onstrated that the reducedexposure would likelyresult in a “measurable andsubstantial” decline indisease and/or death.

The FDA is still deliber-ating, but the authors of thenew studies have reachedtheir own conclusion: IQOSshould not be sold in theU.S.

One of the eight studieschallenges the reliability ofthe tobacco company’sclaim that, compared withcontinuing smokers,American smokers whoswitched to IQOS sawimprovements on twodozen “biomarkers” —narrow measures of organfunction that often stand inas surrogates for overallhealth. Virtually none of thecomparisons between thosewho continued smokingand those who switchedmet the statistical standard

that guards against flukeresults, the analysis found.

On 23 of 24 measurespresented to the FDA byPhilip Morris, “differencesare within what would beexpected based on simplerandomness,” Glantz wrote.Instead of applying com-mon statistical conventionsand discussing them in itssubmission to the FDA — astandard Glantz called“routine for such scientificanalysis” — Philip Morris’documents “simply empha-size the direction ofchanges,” he wrote.

It’s the kind of statisticallegerdemain that no regula-tory scientist would getaway with, he added: “Notobacco company wouldtolerate such assertionsmade by the FDA or otherpublic health authorities.”

Another of the studiesconcluded that in cigarettesmokers who switched toIQOS, there was no evi-dence of reduced inflam-mation of the lungs or of

improvements in lungfunction.

In claiming reducedpulmonary inflammationfor those using its IQOSproduct, Philip Morris’submission to the FDA citesimprovements in two bio-logical measures — C-reactive protein and whiteblood cell count — amongsmokers who switched toIQOS. A team from UCSFcharged that while thosemeasures are good indica-tors of systemwide inflam-mation in humans, they area poor measure of lungfunction or of inflammationin those vital organs. Andthe team’s analysis suggeststhat changes in those mea-sures were not very robusteither.

That did not preventPhilip Morris from claim-ing that “smokers whoswitch to (IQOS) wouldhave a lower risk of chronicobstructive pulmonarydisease compared withcontinued smoking,” noted

the research team led byDr. Farzad Moazed, a pul-monary and critical carespecialist.

The tobacco giant “notonly fails to accuratelyassess pulmonary inflam-mation in their humanstudies,” the researcherswrote, but it “also mislead-ingly concludes that theirIQOS product reducesinflammation and the riskof COPD in humans, aclaim that is simply notsupported by their data.”

Still another study of-fered a warning about illeffects as yet unknown.

Tobacco smoke containsover 7,000 distinct chemi-cal substances, many capa-ble of inducing illness,including cancer. The FDAhas identified 93 harmfulor potentially harmfulconstituents that it wantsmakers of tobacco productsto measure in the emissionsfrom their products.

Philip Morris toutedemissions-comparisons of

58 products, including 40that are recognized by theFDA as harmful or poten-tially harmful. In all ofthese constituents, it foundIQOS emissions lower thanstandard cigarette smoke.

But the tobacco compa-ny’s chemical analyses alsofound that IQOS producedlevels of 56 other constitu-ents at higher concentra-tions than are found incigarette smoke. In the caseof seven constituents, theHeatSticks emitted levels atleast 10 times higher thanthose found in cigarettesmoke.

Those constituents arenot included on the FDA’slist of harmful or poten-tially harmful constituents.But the effect of these sub-stances “is not known,” theresearchers wrote.

“While some impacts ofIQOS may be lower thanthat of cigarettes, othersmay be as bad or worse,”Glantz said in summarizingthe new research.

IQOS safer than cigarettes? Not really. Analysis disputesclaim of heatedtobacco deviceBy Melissa HealyLos Angeles Times

Philip Morris’ “heat-not-burn” tobacco device IQOS is touted as safer than conventional cigarettes, but a new analysis raises doubts about that claim.

Struggling to bring yourhigh blood pressure undercontrol, even with the helpof medications?

Open your mouth andsay “aha!” if you see toothdecay or gums that are sore,bleeding or receding. Youmay have found the culprit.

Researchers recentlyreported that in adultswhose hypertension wasbeing treated with medica-tions, systolic blood pres-sure — which measurespressure in the vesselswhen the heart beats — gothigher as the health of theirteeth and gums declined.

Compared with hyper-tensive patients who hadno signs of periodontaldisease, those with in-flamed gums were 20 per-cent less likely to havegotten their blood pressurewithin healthy limits. Inaddition, patients whosedental health was poor hadsystolic blood pressurereadings that were 3 mmHG higher, on average, thansimilar patients with heal-thy gums.

The findings were pub-lished in the journal Hyper-tension.

An estimated one-in-three U.S. adults arethought to have high bloodpressure, putting them atgreater risk of heart attacksand strokes. Hypertensionis a primary or contributingcause of more than 1,000deaths a day in the U.S. Yetonly 54 percent of thosewith the condition havebrought their blood pres-sure readings under controlwith some combination ofmedication, diet and exer-cise.

The new study is in linewith a mountain of re-search linking gum disease

with higher rates of heart,blood vessel and kidneydisease — all organs that areaffected by high bloodpressure. And it breaks newground by detailing howpoor dental health upendsefforts to bring hyperten-sion under control.

Indeed, the study foundthat people with untreatedhypertension and healthygums had blood pressurereadings roughly equal tothose of people who tookmedication for their hyper-tension but also sufferedfrom gum disease.

In other words, poordental health largely ne-gated the effects of takingblood pressure medication.

The new researchdoesn’t establish that gumdisease causes hyperten-sion and its negative healtheffects. Many researcherssuspect that, like stiff bloodvessels, sore and bleedinggums are just one moremanifestation of inflamma-tion throughout the body.

Nor does the study showthat treating periodontitiswill reduce high bloodpressure. But it does sug-gest that, when dentalhealth is poor, the chal-lenge of bringing bloodpressure under control willbe more expensive and ismore likely to fail.

Researchers from Italyscoured the records of11,753 Americans whoparticipated in the NationalHealth and Nutrition Ex-amination Survey between2009 and 2014, and werescreened for periodontaldisease.

Some 4,095 of the partic-ipants had been diagnosedwith hypertension, ofwhom 88.5 percent weretaking medication for thecondition and 11.5 percentwere not.

Rates of moderate and

severe periodontal diseasetended to be higher amongstudy participants whowere men, older, Latino,smokers, and those withless income and education.Participants who were 65or older and had evidenceof long-standing periodon-tal disease were much morelikely than those with lesssevere and long-standinggum disease to haveunchecked high bloodpressure — a trend that wasparticularly evident amongLatinos.

Both hypertension andperiodontitis are morecommon among African-Americans and Latinos inthe U.S. Those patientpopulations also have strik-ingly higher rates of thediseases linked to both,including heart disease,kidney failure and cerebro-vascular diseases such asstroke and certain forms ofdementia.

There’s little doubt thataccess to health care differsby race and ethnicity, andthat impediments to goodmedical and dental careplay a key role in racial andethnic health disparities.Dental care, especially, isexpensive and far less likelythan medical care to befully covered by insurance.As a result, economic fac-tors likely play a powerfulrole in influencing thehealth of a patient’s gums.

Moreover, many primarycare physicians and cardi-ologists fail to ask theirpatients about their dentalhealth, or to refer them todentists unless they areundergoing cardiac pro-cedures and have clearsigns of tooth decay. Anddentists don’t necessarilycheck their patients’ bloodpressure.

The study authors wrotethat patients with high

blood pressure should havetheir gum health taken intoaccount when they con-sider their treatment op-tions.

“Our data suggest that allracial/ethnic subgroups,especially Hispanics, mightbenefit of such approach,”they wrote. “Conversely,ignoring the additionalburden of poor periodontalstatus on blood pressuremight translate into a

higher cardiovascular riskin the long term.”

At a time when federalhealth insurance for thepoor and disabled is beingscaled back and the re-quirements of the Afford-able Care Act are beingwhittled away, it’s unlikelythat patients with gumdisease will get better ac-cess to dental care any timesoon.

But if they did, it might

help, said Dr. GreggFonarow, a cardiologist atUCLA.

“It’s suggested by thisdata but would need to beproven,” Fonarow said.

In the meantime, he said,the existence of a link isclear: Patients with hyper-tension should make everyeffort to improve their oralhealth, and those with poorgum health should be vig-ilant for hypertension.

You probably think your Thanksgiving meal has everything it needs. Don’t

you feel sometimes as though the table would buckle if you added even a sin-

gle additional plate?

But take a look closely at all the dishes, and odds are high you won’t find

much spice or acid. Instead, it’s a feast bathed in butter and slicked with gravy.

The most assertive ingredient is black pepper. Which is a bit odd for me per-

sonally, considering how spice and acid find their way into most of my meals

on the other 364 days of the year.

I’m not the only one. In a recentepisode of “Salt Fat Acid Heat” onNetflix, chef and author Samin Nos-rat explains how confused she was ather first Thanksgiving meal. Herparents were from Iran, where acidplays a crucial role. Yet at the Thanks-giving table of a college friend, itdidn’t seem that important. “Therewas hardly anything acidic to cutthrough the richness of all the food,”Nosrat says.

I began to wonder, “Could Ibrighten up Thanksgiving?”

Sure, you could make a case for thetartness in cranberry sauce, but oftenit’s so sweet, it might as well be adessert. And that’s if it’s not neglectedaltogether.

I roasted a turkey breast andstarted sampling sauces. Thingsstarted off well. Because turkey meatis so mild, you can douse it with justabout any spicy or acidic sauce andgood things happen. A simple lemonvinaigrette adds a sunny brightness.

Giardiniera, the Italian pickled condiment, goes beautifully with all the savory dishes on the Thanksgiving table.

Good night, everybody!OK, details. Le Sud (“the

south”) sits on the western fringeof Roscoe Village, a cute-as-a-button corner space with 120

seats, divided equally betweenmain-level and second-floor din-ing rooms (the latter, with its ownbar, is suitable for private events).The decor is a Chicago-meets-Provence look that includesstamped-pattern silver ceilingtiles, exposed brick walls, ornate-framed mirrors, wall-mounteddinner plates and cute chande-liers that resemble uplit milkbottles.

Above the pass (the space be-tween kitchen and dining room) isa shelf with cookbooks and knick-

knacks, against a slab of blackslate painted with food and wineimages and the phrases a votresante (“to your health”) and nour-riture de comfort (“comfort food,”though it really ought to be con-fort). The menu adopts the old-school approach of labeling appe-tizers “les entrees” and maincourses “les plats.”

of new openings — theseunapologetic accents carrya certain “come at me bro”bravado.

Which apparently reso-nates among the locals: Thedownstairs dining room hasbeen filled, or nearly so, onall of my visits (none ofthem on the weekend). In asmart move, Le Sud takesreservations only for half itscapacity, encouraging walk-in guests.

Owner Sandy Chen, whoalso owns Koi Fine AsianCuisine in Evanston, tookher inspiration from hertravels in Southern France.But the menu, by executivechef Ryan Brosseau (Peren-nial Virant, Table, Donkey &Stick), also dips its toes intothe Mediterranean fromtime to time.

Bread service is a par-ticular passion ofBrosseau’s, and it shows.Choose between the in-house sourdough baguetteand the whole-wheat coun-try bread, both excellent.Keep in mind that breadwill sometimes accompanycertain dishes, which mywaitress was kind andsharp enough to point outwhen I inadvertently dou-ble-ordered one evening.(Brosseau also makes thesesame-seed buns thatsupport the house burger.)

Brosseau respects tradi-tion but doesn’t feel overlybound by it. “I try to keepthings interesting to my-self,” he said. “I mean, yougotta have steak frites, butthe rest of the stuff is metrying to make good food.”

So while Brosseau offersescargots, they arrive skew-ered, rather than in thetypical divided baking dishthat I loathe (eating thosesuperheated, weaponizedsnails is like playing Russianroulette with your tongue).The escargots pick up awhiff of smoke from thewood grill, herbed garlicbutter provides the accentsone expects, and a petitesalad adds peppery notesand lean flavors. Brosseaualso takes a slightly novelapproach to seared octopus,matching the tender piecesto silky pommes puree andan assertive bordelaisesauce fortified with bonemarrow; the dish getsricher the farther down youdig.

Roasted quail, a newaddition to the menu, issuperb, a Thanksgivingdinner in miniature. Under-neath the disjointed bird isa batonnet-shaped length ofsavory, walnut-studdedbread pudding, and belowthat is a sauce made fromchicken jus and cranberry

mostarda, along with apetite salad anointed withpear aigre-doux. Brosseau’sfoie gras tart is a visuallyelegant slice of foie-grascheesecake topped withchopped toasted almondsand squiggles of plum-sherry caramel.

The steak frites is impec-cably executed, the well-seared exterior contrastingperfectly pink meat within.Fries are hot and crispy, anda bowl of thick aioli standsready for dipping. Bouilla-

baisse, blessed with anabundance of hake, monk-fish and shellfish, is anotherflawless classic. Other platsinclude herb-stuffed loupde mer — irresistibly aro-matic sea bass — and laven-der-honey glazed duckbreast with lentils andpickled fennel.

Chicken is oven-roastedand finished on a woodgrill, resulting in skin that’scrispy and even blackenedin spots. My bird sufferedfrom dry white meat to go

with the perfectly cookeddark meat. It’s a commonenough failing, but disap-pointing nonetheless; thedelicious and creamy ricebeneath the chicken de-serves a better partner.Grilled pork chop, servedsliced with pickled apricotand mustard greens, fea-tures beautiful meat, lov-ingly handled.

Desserts are simple,make-ahead treats. There’sa sufficiently intense choco-late-orange mousse with

whipped creme fraiche, adate-honey-almond basquecake with Chantilly cream

and various in-house icecreams (the chevre andlavender honey is a hit, thefig and thyme slightly lessso).

The beverage program,by general manager TerryMcNeese (Le Lan, TheGage, De Quay), offers anaffordably priced wine listof about 50 French bottlesas well as a half-dozen “vinsdu monde” that ventureinto Spain, Italy, Austria andeven Lebanon. Bottled craftbeers and a handful ofcocktails round things out.

On tap for 2019 are asidewalk cafe and rooftopdeck; appealing features, tobe sure, but no reason topostpone your visit.

Promising start for Le Sud

I will always have a softspot in my heart for pud-ding, in large part becauseit brings me right back tomy grandma’s house,where as a child I stood ona step stool so I couldreach the pot and help stir,stir, stir as the sweet scentof the thickening mixturewafted upward.

Looking back, I see howthat aromatherapy, alongwith the anticipation ofwaiting for the warmmixture to set in the refrig-erator in the little glassramekins she had pouredit into, only added to thepleasure of eating it in theend.

These single-servingcups of maple-kissed pud-ding, layered with slicedbanana and topped with acrunch of graham crackercrumbles, transport me tothat comforting place —

and in a better-for-you wayto boot. The recipe doesn’tveer far from grandma’s,except that rather thanrefined sugar I use a mod-est amount of maple syrup,which adds a lovely layer offlavor. She generally used

whole milk like I do here,instead of cream, so thepudding has some richnessyet is still relatively light.

Stir up happy memoriesBy Ellie Krieger The Washington Post

I knew wine was speciallong before I ever had myfirst sip of it.

The stuff had to be spe-cial because when I was akid, it was always served ina carafe — never in its ownbottle — and on Thanksgiv-ing, a carafe or two stoodamong rarely seen chinabowls and silver platters ona white tablecloth.

After my first sip of wine,the thing I had known forsure — that wine was spe-cial — came into seriousquestion. Only many yearslater, when I returned towine as an adult, did I cometo appreciate its taste. Myinitial belief had been rightall along — wine was spe-cial.

Even on non-holidaynights, when our kitchentable was crowded withplastic tubs of cottagecheese and sour cream, andbottles of ketchup and saladdressing, if there was wineon the table, it was in acarafe. Red or white, thecarafe had nothing to dowith the traditional reasonsfor decanting. The carafewas for aesthetics. Why,especially on Thanksgiving,would you want to look at awine bottle and label — thecommercial package thatonce occupied a supermar-ket shelf?

My, how things havechanged. Now, all theseyears later, my family dis-plays wine bottles on ourThanksgiving table likethey’re trophies. You won’tsee any commercial pack-aging, even on our table ofappetizers, but you’ll seewine bottles in manyshapes and sizes scatteredabout as if they’re part of anadult Easter egg hunt. Wewant to see those labels —not to “ooh” and “ahh” at,but to pull information

from — especially if we likethe wine. Wine is no longeranonymous for us andhasn’t been for a long time.

Isn’t it a relief to know,despite all of our wine-pairing precision, that onThanksgiving, pretty muchanything goes? There issimply too much flavor andtexture to put your winechoices in a box.

Bring the fruit and acidi-ty, do away with harshtannins and high alcohol,and whatever you pick willdo just fine. Have somedessert wines on hand, anddon’t skimp on thesparkling wine. It’s a cele-bration. Remember thatafter the feast (at leastaccording to my experi-ence) there will be lots ofrandom drinking followedby rudderless snacking.Have a good variety of wineon hand for that. PickAmerican wines on thisAmerican holiday, but alsosave space for some inter-

national selections.The following are some

suggestions that mightwork for you and yourfamily this year. Serve thatcranberry sauce straight outof the can for an ironictwist, or arrange it on acrystal dish in a nod toRockwellian tradition.Either way, it will look greatnext to your wine bottles.

Start with some bubbles— on Thanksgiving and asoften as you can in your life— perhaps with a biscuityand lime-kissed 2014 Ar-gyle Vintage Brut ($28)from Oregon’s WillametteValley, the chalky and lem-ony ChampagneVollereaux Blanc deBlancs Brut ($60), thefrothy cherry-strawberry2014 Frank Family Vine-yards Brut Rosé ($55)from Carneros, or thebright and berry-full Ger-ard Bertrand ThomasJefferson Cuvee RoséCremant de Limoux ($16)

from France. They’re allappropriate from the firstglass of the day to the last.

For white wines, youcould try the 2016 ChateauLa Freynelle Blanc ($14)from Bordeaux, a blend ofsauvignon blanc, semillon,and muscadelle with goose-berry and melon notes, orthe 2016 Chehalem ThreeVineyard Pinot Gris ($20)with its Oregonian spiced-apple, cinnamon and honeynotes. If you want brightpear, stone fruit and zingyacidity, go with the 2016Eroica Riesling ($20), ajoint project by Washingtonstate’s Chateau Ste.Michelle and Germany’s Dr.Loosen.

Pink wine is always wel-come on Thanksgiving, sotry the 2017 J. Lohr Ges-ture Grenache Rosé ($22),which is brimming withpeachy crispness, or gostraight to the 2017 Bon-terra Young Red ($16) forits bright cherry and floral

notes, courtesy of Cali-fornia’s Mendocino County.As for reds, the cool-cli-mate 2016 VeramontePinot Noir ($11) fromChile is full of red licoriceand raspberry, while Cali-fornia’s 2016 ImageryPinot Noir ($20) sends upblack cherry and silkyvanilla. For a bigger red, trythe 2016 Vietti Tre VigneBarbera D’Asti ($26),which is full of ripe black-berry, tangy cherry, andspice.

If the official dessertwine of Thanksgiving is nota tawny port, it ought to be.Nuttier and less fruity thana ruby port, or even a youngvintage port, tawny portmatches well with theautumnal flavors ofThanksgiving sweets. Trythe fig-and-caramel good-ness of a Taylor FladgateReserve Tawny Port($60/1L). If that seemspricey for a few sips each ofdessert wine, consider that

the special, antique-stylebottle contains a third morewine than a standard bottle,and if you don’t finish it onThanksgiving, it’ll last forweeks in the fridge.

The same goes for therare 2016 Inniskillin VidalIcewine ($55/375ml),which is from Canada andoffers waves of apricot andmango, with a relentlessfinish. For more chocolatydesserts, or just on its own,try the 2012 Dow’s LateBottled Vintage Port($24/750ml) for its ripedark fruits and licoricenotes. You might considerhaving a sip of these sweetwines before dessert isserved — even while you’restill eating dinner. As wehave established, this is aday when pretty muchanything goes.

“Why didn’t I read this twodays ago?” you’re wondering at11:30 a.m. on a crispy Thanksgiv-ing morn, exactly four hoursbefore Madge and the gang comebarking at the door.

Oh and, of course, Madge hasjust phoned to say that two of herposse are newly minted vegans.

Great.She couldn’t have told you that

before you dunked the greenbeans in liquid bacon fat? Beforeyou stuffed the acorn squash withchorizo? Before you let the doghelp you mash the potatoes?

Ah, if only we inhabited aworld where every fridge groanedunder vessels of vegetables, lus-cious, precooked and ready to popin the oven for a quick rewarm.On that world, it’s “Blammo!”and, suddenly, delicious dishes forthe whole gang, vegans and all.

Well, freaky kids, that world ishere, that time is now. Just takemy hand, and I’ll lead you sure-footed to the blissful shores ofAdvanced Preparationland.

Why you need to learn this

We hold the following truths tobe self-evident:■ The unwillingness of certainsomeones (Madge!) to lend ahand.■ The inevitability of last-minutevegans.■ The tendency of tasks to swelllike goldfish in a koi pond tillthey’ve occupied every last unit ofspacetime and your guests arepounding their upended forks onthe table like so many death rowinmates awaiting their last meal.

The solution to these problem-atic truths? Awesome veggiedishes, cooked beforehand andneeding nothing but a quick re-heat.

The steps you take

If, in fact, you are reading thissometime before the morning ofThanksgiving, first off, I saluteyou.

Second off, consider this: Youwant tasty food. And lots of it.And it’s that “lots of it” part thattakes all the time, ipso facto, asthe salivating ghosts of the an-cient Roman kids like to say.

Today, then, we’re making sureto get as much cooking done inadvance as we can, so that, comeThursday, pretty much all youneed to do is fire up the oven andpop in the bird. Then you can sitback, crank up the Victrola, crack

open the Annie Green Springsand crab at your loved ones forhaving made you do all the work.

Don’tcha love the holidays?So, looky, I’ve outlined a few

idears for your veggie sides.

Shallots: Peel a heap of shallots— figure 2 to 4 per guest, depend-ing on size. Drop them in a sauce-pan and cover completely withextra-virgin olive oil. Over me-dium heat, bring the oil to be-tween 160 and 180 degrees Fahr-enheit.(Them’s poachin’ temper-atures.) Poach them, uncovered,until they’re tender as a toddler’ssleepy embrace, 10 to 15 minutes.Then cool and store, covered, oiland all, in the fridge. On T Day,just reheat over medium. Drainthe oil and save it, covered in therefrigerator, to cook other dishes.Serve the shallots in a festivebowl, dusted with kosher orcoarse sea salt.

Leeks: Trim and halve length-wise 1 or 2 leeks per person. Rinseunder cold water to remove anygrit from between the layers.Saute in butter (or oil, o, yewatchful vegans) until brown onboth sides, about 5 minutes. Addchicken broth (or vegetable forvegans) to barely cover, alongwith a bay leaf and a sprig ofthyme, and simmer uncovered, 15to 20 minutes, until the liquid ismostly gone and the leeks are astender as a lamb’s giggle. Serveimmediately or refrigerate up toseveral days. Just before serving,reheat leeks and remaining liquid,adding more if needed, covered,over medium heat and serveimmediately. Or, if there are novegans at the table, considersprinkling with grated Parmesanor Gruyere and running under thebroiler to brown. (Bonus joke:When you’re passing this dish atthe table, say this: “Here, Madge,take a leek.” Trust me, that killedat my house last year.)

Cabbage: See the accompanying

recipe for a great braise of redcabbage that can be made severaldays in advance and reheated justbefore service. Leave out the

meat, and please the vegans.

Broccoli: Toss bite-size broccoliflorets with olive oil, salt, pepper

and, if you’re feeling naughty,crushed red pepper flakes. Roastat 400 degrees in a single layer ona rimmed baking sheet, turningonce, until brownish and crunchytender — about 30-ish minutestotal. Serve immediately, or coverand refrigerate up to 4 days. Re-heat until warm in a 350-degreeoven, about 10 minutes, and servewith urgency.

Cauliflower: Treat cauliflowerlike the broccoli above, or simmerthe florets in cold water untiltender as an angel’s sneeze. Veg-ans, beware: While it simmers,make a cheese sauce (1 ounceeach flour and butter cookedtogether; whisk in a pint of milk,and simmer to thicken. Addgrated Gruyere or cheddar totaste, and simmer to melt cheese.Mix with cooked cauliflower, andpour into a greased casserole. Ifyou want, combine breadcrumbswith more Gruyere, and sprinkleover top, then dot with butter.Bake in a 375-degree oven untilhot and lightly browned, about 30minutes. Chill for several days,then reheat in a 325-degree ovento warm, 20 to 30 minutes.

Parsnips: Peel and trim wholeparsnips. Toss them in olive oil,season with salt and pepper, androast at 400 degrees in a singlelayer until golden brown anddelicious, 30 to 45 minutes. Hold,refrigerated, for several days, thenreheat in a 325-degree oven untilwarm, about 10 minutes. Serve ona platter in a single layer.

Alternately, you could just peeland cut your parsnips into a largedice along with equal amounts ofother root vegetables (carrots,potatoes, beets, etc.), toss it all inolive oil, season with salt andpepper, and roast until goldenbrown and delicious (30 to 45minutes in a 400-degree oven).

Olive oil-poached shallots make an excellent and unexpected side dish that goes with everything on the Thanksgiving menu.

Red cabbage with pears and pigPrep: 20 minutes Cook: 30 to 60 minutes

Makes: 8-12 servings

1⁄4 pound smoked pork chops (see note), cut into medium dice

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 medium onion, julienned

1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced

2 to 3 pounds red cabbage, cored, shredded

1 cup dry red wine, such as pinot noir

1 1⁄2 cups chicken or beef broth or water

¼ cup sherry vinegar

3 tablespoons brown sugar

2 bay leaves

1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 sprig fresh thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

2 pears, cored and sliced or diced

1. In a heavy bottomed stockpot, cook the diced pork chop in the oilover medium-high heat until light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove andset aside.

2. Add onions to pot; cook until wilted and lightly brown, 2 to 3minutes.

3. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

4. Add cabbage; stir in wine, broth or water, vinegar, brown sugar, bayleaves and thyme. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Turn up heat;when liquid comes to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low (or place in a325-degree oven), and braise until cabbage reaches desired doneness,usually 30 to 60 minutes. Check liquid levels, and add a little morestock or water if needed.

5. When cabbage is nearly done, add pears and reserved smoked pork;cover again, and cook until the pears are tender, about 5 minutes.

6. Correct seasoning and serve immediately, or cool and hold in therefrigerator for up to a week. Reheat, stirring occasionally, in a coveredpan over medium-low heat with a little stock or water to keep it fromscorching.

Note: Substitute bacon for smoked pork, cutting it into bite-size piecesand cooking to just done before proceeding with recipe. Or, leave out allmeat products, and make the dish vegan.

lent giardiniera for themeal.

Just a heads-up. I’mreferring to the kind ofgiardiniera that is oliveoil-based, not vinegar-based, and has a lot of chilesin the mix. This kind of

Chimichurri adds an herb-laden freshness. Sure, a hotsauce like Sriracha over-powers the delicate meat,but Frank’s and Tabascoenliven each bite withoutobliterating the bird’s natu-ral flavor.

With these early suc-cesses, I dove off the deepend and tried some saucesthat would truly make thegrandma in that NormanRockwell Thanksgivingpainting (“Freedom fromWant”) blush.

Ever tried nuoc cham onturkey? The common Viet-namese sauce, made withlime, sugar, chiles and ahealthy splash of funky fishsauce, adds tongue-tinglingfireworks to the meat. Thesame can be said for cher-moula, a North Africancondiment that gets itsgreen hue from finelychopped parsley andcilantro, along with a punchof complexity from cuminand Aleppo chiles. A Turk-ish yogurt and pomegranateseed sauce added a pleasingtang and pop of acidity.

Had I just hackedThanksgiving? To check, Iwhipped up a practiceversion of the whole meal,complete with mashedpotatoes and stuffing. Andthat’s precisely when myplan went off the rails.Turns out, spicy and acidicsauces don’t play well withtraditional Thanksgivingsides. That lemon vinai-grette gets lost in themashed potatoes, and thenuoc cham clashes with thestuffing.

In all, I tried a dozendifferent sauces, and noneof them worked with thewhole meal.

Flush with failure, I flungopen the fridge to see ifthere was any spicy oracidic thing I’d forgotten.Turns out, there was one:giardiniera. For some inex-plicable reason, the Italianmix of pickled vegetablesand chiles loves Thanksgiv-ing.

It adds a friendly slap ofspice and a thrilling shockof acid without stepping onthe toes of the traditionalThanksgiving crew. Whoknew?

It was news to JimGraziano, whose family hasrun J.P. Graziano Grocery,an Italian importer andbeloved deli in Chicago,since 1937. “To be deadhonest, for Thanksgiving,we play it by the book,”Graziano says. He adds thathis family often adds a pastacourse before the tradi-tional menu, but he hadnever thought about usingsome of his family’s excel-

giardiniera is most popularin Chicago.

You probably alreadyhave a great Thanksgivingturkey recipe. But if you’rein need, here’s just aboutthe most basic one imagi-nable. (Personally, I think

dry-brining is tops, but thatrequires time.) Just remem-ber to bust out the jar ofgiardiniera when the turkeyhits the table.

The Thanksgiving table, in mosthouses, has got to have turkey, mashedpotatoes or sweet potatoes (or both),and stuffing. Another tradition: Thishandy collection of turkey thawingand cooking times, plus hotline infor-mation. Because you’ve got everythingunder control, we know, but some-times ...

Thawing timesYou can thaw the bird in the refrig-

erator (at 40 degrees or below) if youhave time; it takes 24 hours per 4-5pounds of turkey. Or speed things upby submerging it in cold water thatyou change every 30 minutes; it willthaw at the rate of 30 minutes perpound, according to “How to Cook aTurkey” by the editors and contrib-utors of Fine Cooking magazine. Donot thaw the turkey on the counter atroom temperature.

If thawing in the refrigerator, placethe turkey on a tray or pan to containany liquid that may drip. After thaw-ing in the refrigerator, the uncookedturkey can remain in the refrigeratorfor one to two days, according to theU.S. Department of Agriculture, but aturkey thawed in cold water should becooked right away.

In the refrigeratorWeight > time8 to 12 pounds > 2 to 3 days12 to 16 pounds > 3 to 4 days16 to 20 pounds > 4 to 5 days20 to 24 pounds > 5 to 6 days

Roasting timesUse these USDA-recommended

times instead of those found in oldercookbooks and other references. Thetimes are for an oven temperature of325 degrees and assume the turkey isfridge-cold.

A whole turkey is safe whencooked to a minimum internal tem-perature of 165 degrees as measuredwith a food thermometer “in theinnermost part of the thigh and wingand the thickest part of the breast,”according to the USDA. If cookingstuffing inside the bird, make surethe center of the stuffing reaches 165degrees.

Long before he ranworld-renowned kitchens,Grant Achatz was like mostMidwestern kids: he rakedleaves in the fall.

He remembers a ritualnot limited to just raking,he said, but jumping in thepiles of foliage and throw-ing them with his friends.More than anything else, heremembers how leaveswere discarded in easternMichigan in 1982: by burn-ing them.

“The smell of thoseburning oak leaves — thosedried, kind of moist leaves— left an impression on meall the way until I got toTrio in 2001, and thenopening Alinea in 2005,”Achatz said.

At Alinea, Achatz wantedto cultivate a more immer-sive dining experience, onethat harnessed not onlyflavors but also feelings. Hewanted to capitalize on the“powerful emotion” ofmemories and tie his foodto something nostalgic.

So Achatz decided to atake a memory — thatsmoky aroma — and put iton a plate.

The scent of smolderingoak leaves has since be-come a traditional part ofAlinea’s fall menu, as wellas one of Alinea’s first for-ays into using aroma, whichis now a hallmark of theeminent restaurant.

“That smell has alwaysbeen a part of the fall menu,because for me personally,it’s incredibly transportive,”Achatz said. “It’s satisfying.It’s comforting. That child-hood period in our lives isvery formative, and it lasts.So to be able to take a timetravel back to that, I justfound it really, really awe-some.”

These days that explicit,unapologetic use of nostal-gia has proved that Alineawas ahead of its time. AtRoister, one of its siblingrestaurants, a dessert ofcookie dough served atop“milk ice cream” is a menustaple.

Nostalgia-driven attrac-tions have become inescap-able in the hospitality in-dustry, not to mentionpopular culture at large.

In the past decade, audi-ences have watched threecompletely different “Spi-der-Man” movie franchises.“Roseanne,” which first leftthe air in 1997, was justrebooted twice during a13-month period. “Saved bythe Max,” the “Saved by theBell”-themed “pop-up” inWicker Park, extended itsinitial run multiple timesdue to the overwhelmingsuccess.

These walks down mem-ory lane might feel out ofplace during a time whencomputers fit in our palmsand cars can almost drivethemselves. But that’s aprimary reason why nostal-gia has gained such a strongcultural cachet, said Krys-tine Batcho, a professor andpsychologist at Le MoyneCollege in Syracuse, N.Y.,who has studied nostalgiasince the 1990s.

“Technology in the last20 years is really astonish-ing if you compare it to anyother 20-year period inhistory. All of these changesare great, because, espe-cially as Americans, we loveprogress,” she said. “Butthat’s also scary. It mightnot be consciously intimi-dating, but we know psy-chically it’s scary becausewhen things are changingdramatically or quickly, youcan start to feel out of con-trol. The most fundamentalneed human beings have isto feel that they’re in con-trol.”

Nostalgia, Batcho said,can be a salve for the feel-ings of anxiety that accom-pany a lack of control.

“(Nostalgia reminds us tolook at our past) and reallyresurrects the good feelingsthat we once had. Thatcounteracts bad feelings —like anxiety, depression,

loneliness, alienation, fear— that we might have trig-gered by the way our life-style is changing aroundus,” she added.

Dave Ensslin has tappedcultural nostalgia for years.He’s the lead guitarist and afounding member of Six-teen Candles, the popular’80s cover band that you’vecertainly heard before,provided you’ve been toalmost any North SideChicago street festival.

For more than 15 years,Ensslin has played almostnothing but songs from asingle decade. ThoughSixteen Candles has a men-tal catalog of 400-plussongs and the band changesits set list for every show,Ensslin said people consis-tently love the hits — acollection of maybe 100 orso songs that the bandrotates.

Specifically, people loveone song.

“Don’t Stop Believin’,” hesaid, gets people goingmore than any other songthe band plays. It has be-come Candles’ closer bydefault, he explained, be-cause it garners such anincomparable enthusiasmthat the band can’t play itpartway through a set.

After a laugh, Ensslininsisted: “No, seriously,we’ve tried.”

The Journey song’srefrain serves as an attemptto defy time: “Don’t stopbelievin’/ Hold on to thatfeelin’.”

At Dorian’s in WickerPark, beverage directorJohn Hess’ Frooty Loopscereal-milk cocktail mightseem novel, but he said hisintention was to create adrink concept that could“hold on to that feeling.”

After a slice of therestaurant’s HoosierMama’s Earl Grey pie, a lamode, reminded him of abowl of Froot Loops, hewas inspired. He said find-ing a flavor you love can“bring you back to a memo-ry.”

“Every particular FrootLoop is the same flavor. It’sactually lemon and laven-der, so essentially bergamotkind of just tastes like lem-on and lavender if you do itright,” he said. “In all hon-esty, nostalgia now is sopopular because of how theworld is. It feels like every-thing’s going to hell. Whatyou do is just try to im-merse yourself in a wholeother thing. … (Nostalgia)gives you almost a euphoricfeeling toward somethingyou haven’t had in a verylong time, like stillness.Peacefulness. No worries.”

Sometimes, those nostal-gic efforts can metastasizeinto something more ag-gressive than a desire torecreate a feeling. “MakeAmerica Great Again,”Donald Trump’s rallyingcry, exemplifies that kind ofnostalgia, one that literallyseeks a return to the past.

“That would be what wedefine as historical nostal-gia. That’s a separate phe-nomenon,” Batcho said.“It’s usually not as psycho-logically helpful or healthy.Historical nostalgia hascorrelated in my researchwith things like skepticism,cynicism, dissatisfactionwith the present. That’s avery different thing. …Whenever you have rapidchange, you have an up-heaval of cultural values(and) traditions, and youinevitably end up withpeople in a society disa-greeing with each other.”

Nostalgia can turn bad,she said, when people“substitute (it) for living inthe moment or for planningfor the future. … Instead ofconfronting challenges intheir life, they retreat totheir past. That would beunhealthy.”

Personal nostalgia — thekind Achatz and Hess bringto their work — differs inthat it “helps us connectwith other people,” said

Batcho. “Nostalgia helps usconnect because it remindsyou of how other peoplehave treated you and thekinds of experiences you’veshared together.”

Especially as civilizationspreads throughout theglobe, nostalgia addressesour need to belong. Sometraditions can be lost if theyaren’t shared among gen-erations. A grandmothermight never write herrecipe down but insteadmight teach her grandchil-dren so that they can carryon the feeling of family.

“It’s really important,”Batcho said, “for thoseindividuals to be able toremain affiliated andbonded with the peoplethat (share) cultural iden-tity.”

At Mi Tocaya Antojeria,chef Diana Davila witnessesthis power firsthand.

“It’s mostly people whoare Mexican. I’ve had manywomen and men cry and belike, ‘This reminds me ofmy grandmother, and Inever learned how to makeit, and I thought I wasnever going to have any-thing like it again.’ Theystart crying, and that makesme cry,” she said.

That resonates for Davilain particular, as family playssuch an integral role inMexican life and culture.

“It’s really nurturingwhen (my family) getstogether, because we drawfrom each other,” she said.“I feel like being in touchwith (our history) adds aspirit to the food.”

Achatz echoed that hehas also seen tears at Alin-ea’s tables. That nostalgicpotency comes from itsinherent tension or para-dox, said Batcho. She de-scribes it as a “bitter-sweetness.”

“What makes a goodmemory nostalgic, per se, isif you have the yearning orthe longing for it or therecognition that it cannever be again,” Batcho

said. “That’s what separatesit from just otherwise goodmemories.”

People who wax nostal-gic on a personal levelrecognize they can’t actu-ally return to the past,Batcho said. “They justwant to kind of check it outand make sure it’s still partof them.”

Achatz and Davila haveharnessed bittersweetness,channeling emotion andfeelings through cuisine ona visceral level. That’s a realchallenge, Batcho said,since nostalgists are“searching for the things asthey remember them tohave been.”

“It takes the genius ofpeople who are artistic —whether it’s food or someother form of entertain-ment. They get that balanc-ing act just right,” she said.

The balancing act isdifficult — ask the folkswho made those “Spider-Man” franchises. Still, theidea is clearly big businessthese days.

“(Good) memories stickwith you. They’re life expe-riences. If you’re able toevoke that and harness it,control it and provide it topeople, that’s an incrediblypowerful thing,” Achatzsaid. “It’s no different thanemotional triggers thatcinematographers do ormusicians play off of orpainters or sculptors.”

Achatz’s cuisine has woncountless awards, but hisknack for controlling theephemeral tension of nos-talgia stands out as an un-canny understanding of theemotion.

“It’s human nature to bereminiscent. It’s also hu-man nature to think aboutaging, think about mortal-ity, think about your time-line as a person,” he said. “Ifyou have fond memories ofcertain things in your youth— or in your 20s, 30s, 40s,whatever it may be — youwanna relive that.”

When it’s done right,nostalgia realizes some-thing deep inside us. Some-thing recalling smolderingleaves, or Froot Loops withSaturday cartoons, or some-thing only your grandmoth-er made. Sometimes thatsomething might evenbring you to tears.

“That’s the energy that,basically, I put in food,” saidDavila. “That’s why I saywhat I do is witchcraft —‘Estoy una bruja.’”

The fact that SpitefulBrewing released fourflavored versions of itsflagship porter Friday is nosurprise.

The surprise comes inhow Spiteful is packagingthe variants of its deep,roasty God D--- PigeonPorter: as a four-pack of16-ounce cans, with eachversion — coconut, peanutbutter, raspberry and choc-olate fudge — representedonce.

A week after Off ColorBrewing began releasing itsmost potent beers in di-minutive 8.45-ounce bot-tles, Spiteful’s embrace of amultiflavored four-pack isyet another example ofcraft brewers evolving withconsumer tastes.

This time, though, thechange isn’t the beer. It’show it is delivered to cus-tomers.

The classic model ofbeer sales — six- or 12-packs of a single brew in12-ounce cans or bottles —will never disappear. Butcraft brewers are turning toever-more-novel ap-proaches to be more cus-tomer-friendly while stand-ing out in an ever morecrowded market.

In recent weeks, theBrewers Association saidthe U.S. is up to 7,082 brew-eries with more than 2,000in planning. Five years ago,the nation was home tofewer than 3,000 brew-eries.

“To me this is where weare in the industry,” Spitefulco-founder Brad Shaffersaid. “Something like thisallows consumers to try abunch of different stuffrather than forcing them tobuy more beer than theywant.”

Indeed, the approach inrecent years would havebeen to package the beersin 22-ounce bottles, whichinstantly makes them “spe-cial occasion” beers — or at

least would require a sec-ond person to consume.The larger format wouldalso restrict the ability formany people try all fourflavors.

The other option, whichplenty of breweries still do,is to sell each variant in itsown four-pack. The resultin that case may have beenmore of any single flavorthan one drinker wanted.As Spiteful planned its runof flavored Pigeon Porters,Shaffer was struck with anidea: Mix them up.

“The consumer is al-ready overwhelmed by somany options,” Shaffer said.“We’ll make it easier forthem.”

The idea turned out to bepart of an emerging trendamong Chicago-area brew-eries.

Last winter, TemperanceBeer released a mixedfour-pack of barrel-agedstouts. In September, Half

Acre released a mixedfour-pack of ambitious milkstouts. On Nov. 15, Sketch-book Brewing will releaseits barrel-aged stout, Tur-bulence, and two variants —one with coconut, ha-banero and lime, and theother with maple syrup —in mixed two-packs.

Sketchbook will sell thebeers from its taproom (821Chicago Ave., Evanston) asthree different two-packsof 16-ounce cans: Turbu-lence with either variant orthe two variants together.Each two-pack will cost$15.

Sketchbook co-founderand head brewer CesarMarron said the brewerydeliberated at length abouthow to release a beer that’sboozy (9.7 percent alcohol),flavorful and expensive toproduce in a manner thatwould benefit both cus-tomer and brewery.

“The main reason is to

make it more approach-able,” Marron said. “I’m aproponent of giving thecommon person a chanceto buy something like thisand not have to shell out$35. We think this is what’sbest for the customer —they can still get four cans ifthey want, but we’re notforcing them to.”

Temperance founderJosh Gilbert said demandfor his brewery’s mixedfour-pack of Might MeetsRight barrel-aged stout in12-ounce cans was “off thecharts more than we ex-pected,” selling out in threehours.

“People loved the factthat they could try all var-iants without buying fourfour-packs,” he said.

Temperance is planninga similar approach to sell-ing its barrel-aged stouts inearly 2019, though thevariants are still beingfinalized.

Spiteful’s Pigeon Porterfour-packs ($19.99) went onsale Friday at the Spitefultaproom (2024 W. BalmoralAve.). Each variant alsobecame available Friday ondraft in the taproom.

A relatively smallamount of each beer waskegged, however, so thatSpiteful could go all-in onthe four-packs. The four-packs will begin reachingbeer stores by the end ofthis week.

Spiteful co-founderJason Klein said the brew-ery is uniquely positionedto release beer in such aprogressive manner. It canoperate on two levels: mak-ing beer in large volumes(in a 30-barrel brew houseand fermenting in 60-barrel tanks) or, in the caseof the Pigeon Porter four-pack, sending a 30-barrelbatch to four seven-barrelfermentation tanks, each ofwhich received its own

flavor addition.Spiteful used the smaller

tanks when launching in2012 in a Ravenswoodbasement but held on tothem for flexibility whenopening its current brew-ery last year.

Though brands such asSpiteful IPA and SpitefulLager will remain the coreof the portfolio, Spitefulplans more mixed four-packs, including one in-volving its Hostile HarryImperial Stout in the com-ing months.

“You need volume butalso (need) to maintainyour identity and whatcraft is, which is creativityand being different andhaving something interest-ing,” Klein said. “If we justmake Spiteful IPA all daylong, aren’t we just a mini-Budweiser?”
