LeadingDemocratic gov-ernor candidate J.B.Pritzker was called a “liar”and a “fraud” by two rivalsas the billionaire business-man’s ties to secret offshoreshell companiesbecamethefocus of the final forum ofthe campaign Wednesdaynight.

For his part, Pritzkeravoided getting into specif-ics of his financial holdings,and claimed the offshorecompanieswere investmentinstruments of family trustsestablished long ago andthat charity was the benefi-ciary, not himself.

“I have no control overthose trusts, theentities thatare created. Just like alltrusts, they make invest-ments, so theywere createdby the people who controlthose trusts. And remem-ber, those trusts are focusedon charitable giving,” saidPritzker, who has declinedto make available his com-plete tax returns or anyreturns from the trusts.

Hours before HillaryClinton was set to accepther party’s presidentialnomination, Chris Ken-nedy checked out of thepacked Philadelphia hotelwhere Illinois’ Democraticconvention delegation wascampedout for thehistoricmoment.

In the elevator, he raninto a reporter. Conscious

of the suitcase tucked con-spicuously beside him andthe odd timing of his de-parture, Kennedy ex-plained that large gather-ings of politicianswere nothis idea of a good time.

The early exit cappedoff a troubled trip. Daysearlier, Kennedy had givena breakfast speech to anevery-four-years gatheringof leadingDemocratic offi-cials, a rite of passage foranyone seriously contem-plating a statewide run.

Kennedy’spresencewaswidely viewed as a signthat he was planning tojump into the 2018 gover-

nor’s race, and afterwardreporters asked him if thatwas the case. But he de-clined to answer, and acrush of reporters andcameramen followed himtoward awaiting elevator.

“Please leave the eleva-tor and let me go to mymeeting. Please do that.Have some decency,” Ken-nedy scolded the journal-ists. “What have you be-come? Please, please.”

The spectacle turned achance at an easy headline— Kennedy mulls chal-lenge of Bruce Rauner —

WASHINGTON—Themost dangerous outcomefor Republicans in Tues-day’s special House elec-tion in Pennsylva-nia was not theprospect of a De-mocrat takingoverone of their seats.

It was theshrugging off byvoters of the par-ty’s biggest legisla-tive achievement:the tax cut measure thatRepublicans hoped wouldbe their major campaignmessage as they headtoward a turbulentmidtermelection.

Though the popularityof President DonaldTrump’s tax plan hasgrown since it was passedlast year, it stalled as anelection issue in Pennsyl-

vania, leading Republi-cans to shift away from itlate in the campaign insearch of another topic toenergize supporters ofstate legislator Rick Sac-cone.

“It looks like it justpetered out,” pollster Pat-rick Murray of the non-partisan Monmouth Uni-versity Polling Institute

said of the taxplan’s effect on theelection.

As of lateWednesday, De-mocrat ConorLamb was the ap-parent winner,holding a lead of627 votes over

state Sen. Rick Sacconeafter more than 224,000people cast ballots Tues-day, The Washington Postreported. The race, in adistrict Trump won bynearly 20 points in 2016,has not been officiallycalled because state offi-cials continue to count

Loyola University oftenpoints out that it’s the onlycollege in the U.S. whoseathletes are known as theRamblers.

Just as unique, if a littleless promoted, is that theRamblers were bums.That’s not a criticism ofathletic prowess. It’s thetruth.

The school’s first andperhaps most beloved mas-cotwas a homelessman—a“cheerful derelict,” as onepublication referred to him,a hobo. His costume was aragged suit and giant foamrubber head with scruffybeard and hair. He wore ashabby cap with an L on itsfront.He carried a suitcase.

He was Bo Rambler, andas antiquated as his imagemay be in 2018, Bo ismaking a comeback at thesame time as the RamblersNCAA Tournament-boundmen’s basketball team.

SCORE A TOUCHDOWNWITHTRIBUNE SPORTS BOOKS

StateRep. Jeanne Ives— the con-servative candidate for governor ofIllinois—was in the studio atWTTWthe other night, ready for a televiseddebatewithGov. BruceRauner on themany issues facing this failed state:

Taxes, spending, debt,weak em-ployment and the out-migration ofambitious citizens. Alsowhether thenext governor should be a social jus-ticewarrior or a fiscal hawk in a stateconsidered theworst-run inAmerica.

So,wherewasRauner?“Hehas another commitment,” his

campaign staff toldme.Or, itmight be that, like that knight

in theMonty Pythonmovie, hebravely ran away, away.

Hemayhave thought that if he ranaway from the debate, then Iveswould get less news coverage.

AndWednesday’s Tribune exclu-sive aboutDemocratic candidate andbillionaire J.B. Pritzker hiding hismoney in secret, funky offshore ac-counts should dominate the politicalnews.

SoRauner is counting on J.B.’sshrieks to cover the sound of his ownfootsteps, running away fromJeanneIves.

Yet, as I keep telling readers,whatis not said,what constitutes the nega-tive political space, is often themostimportant part of a political story.And, at the debate he ran away from,Rauner’s silencewas excruciatinglyloud.

He didn’twant a confrontationwith Ives on those notorious ads he’sbeen running against her, ads allegingthat Ives, the conservativeRepublicanstate representative fromWheaton, isa creature ofDemocratic BossMikeMadigan.

It’s a complete falsehood of course,and rather ridiculous, but Raunermust think they’re effective.

But those lieswillmake it impos-sible for him to patch theRepublicanParty back together should hewin theMarch 20primary,which is still verymuch in doubt.

“The truth is Iwould beMikeMadigan’sworst nightmare because Iactually have the courage to speak upfor taxpayers and expose the gamesthat are going on down there, and toput people in uncomfortable conver-

sationswhen they have to actuallyexplain their policy choices,” Ives saidduring her solo appearance onWTTW.

“That’s something thatGov.Rauner fails to do.Make no doubtabout it, Gov. Rauner has lied toeverybody about everything these lastthree years. Andhe’s now lying aboutmy record because he can’t talk abouthis, because he has nothing to talkabout.”

RomanCatholic Cardinal BlaseCupich andRepublican state legisla-tors saidRauner liedwhenhe promis-ed hewouldn’t signHouseBill 40,which provides for taxpayer fundingof abortion.He signed it. Andhesigned sanctuary state legislation.

It cost himhis Republican base,andhe can’twin a general election inIllinoiswithout those voters.

The only time Ives andRauneractually debated the issues one-on-onewas before theChicagoTribuneEditorial Board. In that debate,Raunerwas crushed by Ives.Hisresponse to almost every questionwas toweakly blameHouse SpeakerMadigan for hiswoes.

So onWTTWonTuesday, youmight have expected a differentRauner.

But sadly, he ran away, away.And in this, the governor of Illinois

was verymuch likeBrave Sir Robin inthat oldMonty Pythonmovie runningaway, away, to safety.

As Ives ticked off the issues, Iclosedmy eyes and thought I couldseeRauner prancing over a hill,dressed inmedieval garb, his politicalconsultants behind him slappinghollow coconut halves together, tomake the sound of a proud, trottingsteed carrying a noble knight.

WTTWreporter AmandaVinickytold the audience that the publictelevision station had scheduled thedebate long ago andhad been seekingcomment fromRauner formonths.“Andno response byRauner, untilwewere told (the afternoon ofTuesdaynight’s debate) that he had anothercommitment.”

“I knowwhat you’re going to do,”said one of Rauner’s Republican sup-porters. “You’re going to beat himupfor not debating Ives. But you said he

should stay 20miles away fromher.”Yes. Fair enough. I said he should

stay away fromher. But I said itmock-ingly. And I’mnot running for gover-nor. By not showing up, hewasn’tthere to defendhis actions.

This doesn’tmean I despiseRauner. I’m the columnistwho intro-duced him to Illinoiswhenhe an-nouncedhis first, successful cam-paign, remember?

Rauner promised Illinois he’d focuson the important things, like thestate’s terrible finances, and promisedthat he’d stay far away from socialjustice issues.

But thenhe had to go and jumpinto the social justice puddleswithtwo left feet and tear his party in two.

The long-term implications areobvious: Rauner has created an intra-partywar, andhe’sweakenedGOPefforts to target suburbanDemocraticstate representative seats. These aretheDemocratic seats that nourishBossMadigan and give himpowerover all of Illinois.

“He didn’t have to showup atWTTW,”AaronDelMar, the PalatineTownshipGOP committeeman andRauner supporter, toldme. “Theman’s record speaks for itself.He’s theonewhobrought the fight toMadi-gan. At this point,what does he haveto gain fromdebating Ives?”

ButRepublican stateRep. TomMorrison, also of Palatine, an Ivessupporter, disagrees.

“He ran away from theWTTWdebate because he can’t defendhisrecord,”Morrison said. “He’s the onewho abandoned theRepublicanParty.Andnowhe’s trying to run out theclock against Jeanne. I don’t think it’sgoing towork.What’s Rauner soafraid of?”

What’s he afraid of?Wewon’t know for sure, because

rather than standing his ground anddebating Ives, Rauner ran away, away.Bravest of the brave, Sir Rauner!

The rapper known as theGamehas aweek to explainwhyhe shouldn’t be held in contemptfor failing to hand over hisfinancial records to a womanwho won a $7.1 million sexualbattery lawsuit against him in2016, a federal judge ruledWednesday inChicago.

An attorney for the womansaid incourtpaperwork filed thismonth that the Grammy-nomi-nated recording artist has notpaid her a cent, nor has heprovided information about hisassets and income. A hearing setfor Thursday in U.S. DistrictCourt in Chicago was pushed toApril 5 to give the rapper’sattorneys time to respond. Hisstatement must be filed byMarch 21.

A federal jury in Chicagoordered the rapper, whose birthname is Jayceon Taylor, to paythe woman after she accused ofhim of inappropriately touchingher buttocks and genital areaseveral times at a Markham barwhile shewas a contestant onhisVH1 dating game show “She’sGot Game” in 2015. The Tribuneis declining to name her becauseof the nature of her claim. Anattorney for thewomandeclinedto comment. An attorney for the38-year-old rapper did not re-spond to a request for comment.

The woman’s attorney allegestheGame is “concealing substan-tial amounts of income andassets,” according to his March 1filing. The California-based rap-per, who did not appear inChicago for his November 2016civil trial, has denied the accusa-tions andsaidhewill notpay.Hisappeal of the judgment is onhold. Last year, he filed a $20million negligence lawsuitagainst Viacom — VH1’s parentcompany — that is pending infederal court inCalifornia.

You might expect U.S. Rep.Bobby Rush’s son Flynn Rushto benefit from his father’s suc-cess.

But two endorsements thatthe younger Rush is claimingfrom established politicos in hisrun for a seat in the IllinoisHouse come with a large caveat:FormerU.S. Sen.CarolMoseleyBraun and Cook County Com-missioner Luis Arroyo Jr. bothsay they never endorsed him.

And both Chicago Democratsare upset that campaign mailersthat Flynn Rush sent out inadvance of the Tuesday primaryclaimotherwise.

Nor is the Illinois RestaurantAssociation—which is barredbynonprofit laws from making en-dorsements — thrilled that Rushfalsely claimed its endorsement.

Howawkward!“I havemade no endorsement

in the race for state representa-tive in the25thDistrict,”MoseleyBraun told Inc. “I certainly didnot give permission formy nameto be used in any way by Mr.Rush, especially on campaignliterature meant to confuse andmisinformvoters.”

And Commissioner Arroyosaid: “Standard procedure for anendorsement involves askingsomebody for their endorse-ment. I have not been asked foranyendorsement fromMr.Rush,nor have I given my endorse-ment.”

Arroyo and his father, stateRep. Luis Arroyo Sr., sent Rusha cease-and-desist letter Friday,demanding he stop claimingtheir endorsements, though aRush campaign mailer seen byInc. does not claim the elderArroyo’s endorsement.

In emails to Inc., Flynn Rushdid not address Arroyo Jr.’sallegations, but continued toinsist that both Arroyo Sr. andMoseley Braun had, at one time,endorsed him. He wrote that it

was “political hair-splitting” toargue that a campaign donationby the IllinoisRestaurantAssoci-ation did not constitute an en-dorsement.

Flynn Rush said he had askedArroyo Sr. for his support at adinner in October and that thestate representative “respondedwith kind words about U.S. Rep.Bobby Rush and me saying thatmy father-son relationship andhis father-son relationship arequite similar, and expressed hissupport formy candidacy.”

Arroyo Jr. has endorsedAdri-enne Irmer, one of six othercandidates in the race to replaceretiring state Rep. BarbaraFlynnCurrie.

Moseley Braun, he said,pledged her support in a conver-sation with his father. “At thattime, shegraciously consented tosupport me and volunteered tomake a contribution to under-score her support.

“Since that time, Ihavespokenof her support without anyknowledge of her concern. Quitefrankly, I am confused by herpresent position. This experi-ence has taught me that when apolitician gives you their sup-port, youshouldget it inwriting.”

Moseley Braun remains dis-pleased, however. “He did notspeak to me,” she said of FlynnRush, allowing that, “His fatherasked if I would write a check,which I did.”

The Bears are bringing in aSuper Bowl champion in formerEagles tight end Trey Burton,and he was a frequent topicwhen Bears fans expressed theirwish lists for free agency, butthey may not be familiar withBurton’s whole back story. Hereare five things to know about theformer FloridaGator.

He was a jack-of-all-tradesbefore famed ‘Philly Special’:Burton played quarterback onthe “Philly Special” trick play inwhich running back CoreyClement took a direct snap andpitched it to Burton, who tossedit to quarterbackNick Foles for atouchdown on fourth-and-goal.It was the signature play of theEagles’ 41-33 triumph over thePatriots. That should haveseemed old hat to Burton, whoplayed quarterback in highschool; tight end, wide receiver,fullback and quarterback in col-lege; and led theEagles in specialteams tackles in 2015.

The Gators’ former “SwissArmy knife” combined all of hisoffensive skills in a victory overKentucky on Sept. 25, 2010, top-ping Tim Tebow’s school recordby scoring six touchdowns—fiverushing, one receiving — andcompleting a pass for 42 yards.Hewas a true freshman.

Tebow comparisons are un-avoidable:Burtondidn’t just re-mind Gators fans of Tebow be-cause he played as a hybridquarterback-running back earlyin his college career. Like Tebow,he is a devout Christian. In fact,Burton’s eye black bore thewords “Phil. 4:13” (in the NewKing James version, “I can do allthings through Christ, whostrengthens me”), though heinsisted in a previous interviewthat he wasn’t copying Tebow,who also wore that verse andotherswith his eye black.

Burton’s grandfather was anOlympian and NFL player:Larry Burton (Trey Burton’s giv-en name is Lawrence GodfreyBurton III) was an Olympicsprinter who finished just shy ofthe medal stand at the 1972Summer Games in Munich. TheSaints drafted the senior Burtonseventh overall, three spots afterthe Bears took Walter Payton in1975.

Burton’s son is a scene steal-er: Ready for another “Jaxon”in the Bears family? Burton’s3-year-old son shares the samename with one of former Bearsquarterback Jay Cutler’s sons.Jaxon Burton has been nostranger to cameras, especiallyduring last season’s champi-onship run. In one Philadelphianews station’s segment, JaxonBurton leadshisdadandreceiverJordan Matthews in singing thefight song “FlyEagles Fly.”

Burton’s brother was on anNFL team: Clay Burton wasonce a Notre Dame recruit butsnubbed the Irish to join hisbrother inGainesville in2011.Hegot a training camp tryout as atight end with the Bills in 2015butwaswaived.Henowcoacheswide receivers at the brothers’alma mater, Venice High Schoolin Florida, and was part of thestaff that won a state champi-onship inDecember.

5 things: Meetnew Bears TETrey Burton


CHICAGOLAND

J.B. Pritzker is notlike us.

That’s not a shock-ing revelation, though.We’ve knownall alongthat billionaires andregular people rarelyhavemuch in common.

When it comes topetty things like taxes,

for example, the inequalities really comeinto focus.

There’s one set of rules for hard-working,middle-class peoplewhohaveno choice but to turn over 25 percent oftheir paycheck to the government everyyear.

Then there’s another set of rules forsomeonewhomightwakeuponemorn-ing and say, “I think Iwant to be governorof Illinois” andhas enoughmoney in hisbank account to spend$188,000 aday tomake it happen.

I don’t begrudge rich people.Whatsickensme, however, iswhen filthy richpoliticians try to pass themselves off asbeing downwith the people.

Over the last 11months, Pritzker hasspentmore than $63million of his $3.5billion fortune trying to convince Illinoisvoters that he can get this fiscally destitutestate back on track.

While Illinoiswas teetering near bank-ruptcy, the billionairewhowould be gov-ernor reported that he andhiswife paid$456,000 in state taxes in 2016. Thatseems like peanuts for someonewho canafford to toss $63million into a politicalcampaign.

We’ve long known that Pritzker’sgrandfather set up offshore trusts in the1960s, keeping themoney away from thetaxman, and that those trusts nowbenefitPritzker andhis family. Butwhatwelearned thisweek is that Pritzker andhisrelatives have takennew steps in the lastdecade to build up their offshore financialstructure.

According to aChicagoTribune inves-tigation, several offshore shell companiescreated between 2008 and 2011—dec-ades after Pritzker’s grandfather died—are eitherwholly ownedbyPritzker or hisbrother and business partnerAnthonyPritzker, or they list other close associatesas controlling executives.

Pritzker explained inDecember thatthe onlymoneyhe took out of the off-shore trustswent to charitable organiza-tions.He certainly isn’t the only rich poli-tician to keepmoney offshore, but he’s theonly one so far to claim that it helpedhimbecome amodern-dayRobinHood. It’sinsulting that hewould think Illinoisansare stupid enough to believehehas off-shore holdings so that he canhelp the lessfortunate.

Time and time again, Pritzker has toldus that his campaign is about fighting forour values. Over themonths, it has be-come increasingly obvious that his valuesare not the same as ours.

While there is no indication thatPritzker has done anything illegal, thesneakywayhehandles his high-poweredfinances speaks volumes about the kind ofpolitician he is.

Thoughhemight not have the back-groundof a seasonedpolitician, he hasperfected the technique of telling peoplewhat he thinks theywant to hear.

Pritzker has said he supports a graduat-ed income tax thatwould requirewealthi-er people to paymore.Knowingwhatweknownowabout howhehandles his ownbusiness, it’s hard to believe he’d eversupport such legislation.

As youmight recall, Pritzker reportedlyonce had the toilets disconnected in amansion inChicago’sGoldCoast in orderto get a property tax assessment reduc-tion.

And after hewas caught talking dispar-agingly aboutAfrican-Americans in anFBI-recorded 2008phone conversationwith then-Gov. RodBlagojevich, Pritzkerwent on an apology tour, explaining toblack voters, “Iwasn’tmybest self.”

But apparentlywhatwe’ve seen so faris his real self.

There’s nothingwrongwith going tofish fries, taking selfieswith a bunchofblack people at an outdoor concert orevenpromisingwomen andminoritiesthat, once elected, you’re going to put usfront and center in your administration.

Those are the kinds of thingswe’reused to seeing politicians do. But findingways that could enable someone to get outof paying a fair share of taxes in a statethat is nearly bankrupt is really prettysleazy.

No onewants to paymore taxes thantheyhave to, but this sets Pritzker farapart from themajority of hardworkingIllinoisanswhodutifully pay their taxes,evenwhen they are living paycheck topaycheck.

I guesswe’re just too dumb to knowanybetter.

During the 2016 presidential campaign,DonaldTrumpexplainedwhy somepeo-ple don’t have to pay their fair share oftaxes.When itwas revealed that hehadpaid no taxes during some years, Trumpresponded, “Thatmakesme smart.”

I guess Pritzker graduated in the sameclass of shifty politicianswho try to gamethe system.

A U.S. Army veteran who served inAfghanistan and is facing possible deporta-tion will be interviewed on Thursday byimmigration officials who may decide togrant him citizenship, the Tribune haslearned.

Miguel Perez Jr., 39, served two tours ofduty in Afghanistan and recentlyfinished a prison term on a drugconviction. The federal govern-ment has sought to deport PereztoMexico, where he has not livedsince hewas 8.

In an effort to prevent Perez’sdeportation, his attorney, ChrisBergin, filed a petition with thegovernment to grant retroactivecitizenship for Perez towhen he joined themilitary in 2001, an effort supported byleaders including Sen. Tammy Duckworth,an IllinoisDemocrat and IraqWar veteran.

Bergin and other Perez backers said theyare cautiously optimistic that the govern-ment will grant Perez citizenship, butrecognize the interviewcould verywell notresult in any change in his status.

“We’re praying on it,” said Sara Walker,another Perez supporter. A decision couldcomeThursday butmay take longer.

In an interview from the center inKankakee where he is now detained, Pereztold the Tribune he planned to emphasizehisbelief thathebecameaU.S.citizenwhenhe took an oath to protect the nation.

“I love this country. I put my life on theline for this country,” he said. “If theyneededme, I’d do it again in a second.”

Though the system is not perfect, Perezsaid, the laws and the Constitution areworth fighting for.

“I went through the system because Iknew the system was going to come backand look out for me,” he said. “It’s the

people who get into difficult positions.That’s not theConstitution or the country’sfault.”

Perez enlisted before 9/11 and serveduntil 2004, Duckworth said this week in aletter to the top official at the Chicagodistrict ofU.S.CitizenshipandImmigrationServices. Perez was deployed to Af-ghanistan and served with the 2nd Battal-ion, 3rd Special Forces Group, where heparticipated in numerous classified mis-

sions,Duckworth said.After his military service, Perez

sought treatment at the VeteransAffairs hospital in Maywood, wheredoctors diagnosed him with post-traumatic stress disorder.

He was supposed to return formore tests to determine whether healso had a traumatic brain injury.

In the meantime, he reconnectedwith a childhood friend who provided freedrugs and alcohol. On Nov. 26, 2008, whilewith that friend,Perezhandeda laptopcasecontainingcocaine toanundercoverofficer.Perez pleaded guilty to the drug charge andservedhalf of a 15-year prison sentence.

While Perez was convicted of deliveringless than 100 grams of cocaine, prosecutorshave said he was arrested for deliveringmuch more and received a reduced sen-tence after a plea deal.

Prosecutors also pointed out that Perezwas given a general discharge from themilitary after a drug infraction.

Perez said he discovered the citizenshipoversight when he was summoned toimmigration court shortly before his Sep-tember 2016 release fromHill CorrectionalCenter in Galesburg. Instead of headinghome to Chicago from prison, Perez wasplaced in the custody of Immigration andCustoms Enforcement and transferred to aWisconsin detention center for immigrantsawaiting deportation.

When legal residents or people who arehere illegally commit crimes, ICE’s stand-

ard protocol is to let them serve most oftheir sentence for thecrime in theU.S., thendeport them.

While in ICE custody, Perez this yearwent on a hunger strike that has sinceendedandwasmoved into solitary confine-ment. In her letter to USCIS, Duckworthnoted Perez has strong family ties to theU.S., including his parents and children,who are all citizens.

FormerPresidentGeorgeW.Bushsignedan executive order authorizing all nonciti-zens who served honorably in the armedforces on or after 9/11 to file for citizenship,the letter said. But Perez didn’t receivesupport from the Army before his 2003deployment or after his return.

“As a combat veteran who served andsacrificedonbehalf of our country, I believe(Perez) deserves to be granted U.S. citi-zenship, whichwill enable him to continuealong his path to recovery and ensure hereceives appropriate treatment for hisPTSD,”Duckworth said.

Duckworth said she believes the theUnited States owes noncitizens who risktheir lives in the military “full support andassistance in attainingU.S. citizenship.”

“Mr. Perez is an unfortunate example ofhow our system allows veterans to slipthrough the cracks, but granting himcitizenship would be a tremendous steptoward seeing that he receives the properVA treatment he deserves,” she said.

Bergin saidhe’s happy for theopportuni-ty to introduce Perez to immigrationofficials face to face so they can see “all thepositives about his life” and service.

“You’ve got to have some discretion onthe part of immigration to look into thepositive factors inhis case and say, ‘This is adifferent kind of case,’ ” Bergin said.

Citizenship interview may save vet from being deportedBy Gregory PrattandManya Brachear PashmanChicago Tribune

A call of shots fired that sent scores ofheavily armed officers to a NorthwesternUniversity graduate dorm Wednesdayafternoon was apparently a case of “swat-ting,” a false emergency designed to draw alarge police response.

A caller reached the Evanston policefrom somewhere near Rockford around2:15 p.m. and said he had shot his girlfriendat Engelhart Hall, just west of the maincampus at Emerson Street and MapleAvenue. Alerts were issued and teams ofpolice were dispatched, but officers foundthe woman — a Northwestern student —unharmed with “no evidence of a victim,scene or gunman,” said Evanston policeCmdr. Ryan Glew, a spokesman for thedepartment.

“That residence has been vacant sincebefore Thanksgiving,” Glew said of thedorm room at Engelhart. “We’re preparingto call it a swatting incident. ... Shewas notin any danger.”

The alert initially went out to studentsand staff shortly before 2:30 p.m., warningthem to stay away from the area ofEngelhart Hall, which has apartments forNorthwestern graduate students and theirfamilies. Even after police found no evi-dence of a victim or weapon, officerscontinued their search and Northwesterntweeted that people inside Engelhart“should remain behind locked doors.”

The school issued an all-clear around4:30 p.m., more than two hours after thecall wasmade. “The report of amanwith a

gun in Engelhart Hall was a hoax. ... Nodanger to the community exists.”

“I just spent an hour huddled on thefloor with students,” Mei-Ling Hopgood,an associate professor at theMedill Schoolof Journalism, tweeted after the universityconfirmed the campuswas safe.

“I thought, as I stared at the door andlistened for footsteps, aboutbeinga teacherand felt the instinct to protectmy students.I’mrelievedall are safe.But I’moutragedatthe hoax and at the state of fearwe live in.”

Northwestern freshman Ellie Taft saidshe was inside her room at the EastFairchild residence hall when she got anemail and a text message from theuniversity emergency alert system at 2:39p.m., as well as numerous messages fromher friends to make sure she knew toshelter in place. She then texted herparents and stayed on the phone with hermother, who was tracking news coverageonline.

Taft, 18, said she couldn’t stop thinkingabout how hours earlier, people at North-western had participated in the nationalwalkout day to protest gun violence.

“I was so shocked that something likethis could happen on campus or there wasthe potential to happen here,” Taft said. “Ifelt really removed from this kind ofsituation a few hours ago and all of thesudden it was happening to me and mypeers andmy friends.”

“Even though it was a hoax, that doesn’tmean that this isn’t still something (that)should be talked about,” Taft said. “Therewere still people put at risk because of aphone call.”

Swatting is the practice of placing hoaxemergency calls with the aim of drawing alarge response from law enforcement. It’snot only adrainonpolice resourcesbut canturn deadly.

Los Angeles resident Tyler Barriss has

beenchargedwith involuntarymanslaugh-ter and other felonies after authorities saidhe called a police dispatcher in Wichita,Kan., Dec. 28 and falsely reported that he’dshot his father and was holding two otherpeoplehostage inside ahome.Whenpoliceresponded to the address, 28-year-oldAndy Finch emerged from the front doorandwas fatally shot by anofficer. Itwasnotclear why Finch’s address was a target ofthe hoax, according to police.

As Taft pointed out, the Northwesternalert went out not long after studentsparticipated in Wednesday’s NationalSchool Walkout. Hundreds of Northwest-ern University students gathered in Deer-ing Meadow on campus in support of anational effort for tighter regulations ongun sales after a high school massacre inFlorida.

Two groups of NU students marchedthrough campus holding signs and chant-ing, “No more silence, end gun violence,”beforeconvergingon the field for speeches.

Northwestern President MortonSchapiro and Evanston Mayor StephenHagerty attended the demonstration.

“Our country needs your leadership, weneedyourgeneration, electedofficialsneedto hear from you,” Hagerty told thegathering. “We need you to use socialmedia, marketing, your persuasion, youryouthful optimism, and the technical skillsyou are learning here at Northwestern andelsewhere to help us solve this absurdproblem.”

Mayor Rahm Emanueland American Airlinesstruck a deal late Wednes-day for the airline to dropits opposition to a planned$8.5 billion expansion ofO’Hare International Air-port, according to sourcesfamiliarwith the deal.

In exchange, City Hallwill speed up constructionof three new gates Ameri-canwould use in the future,according to a source famil-iar with the deal who wasnot authorized to speakpublicly.

The agreement came astheChicagoCityCouncil onThursday is set to begin itsconsideration of Emanuel’sblockbuster, eight-yearO’Hareoverhaul thatwouldinclude a state-of-the-artglobal terminal, dozens ofnew gates and several addi-tional concourses.

When the Chicago Trib-une exclusively reporteddetails of the planned ex-pansion two weeks ago,Americanemerged inoppo-sition to the proposal. Itargued Emanuel had cut asecret dealwithUnitedAir-lines, awarding the home-town carrier five additional

gates at the last moment. Atthe time, American spokes-womanLeslie Scott said theairline would sign off onEmanuel’s plan if the citywouldaccept a compromiseto “re-level the playingfield” by accelerating theconstruction of three moregates forAmerican.

After twoweeksofpublicacrimony, Emanuel hasagreed to speed up con-struction of the three gates,the source said. NeitherEmanuel’s office or Ameri-can responded to requestsfor comment.

The deal comes aftermore than a year of behind-the-scenes negotiationsamong United, Americanand the city boiled over intopublic view as airline exe-cutives and city officialsaccused each other of nottelling the truth about vari-ous aspects of the plan.

United CEO Oscar Munozheld a rally with employeesto push for public supportof the proposal, whileAmerican launched a web-site making argumentsagainst it.

Initially, Aviation Com-missioner Ginger Evanssaid the city could notaccommodate American’srequest to speed up theconstruction of three newgates on the airport’s Lconcourse because “everycommunication cable inO’Hare” is in that area andthe wires would have to be“carefully relocated.” Thecity, however, has reachedan agreement with Ameri-can on moving up the gateconstruction while care-fully relocating the utilities,the source said.

It remains unclear, how-ever, how much sooner thegates would be built, the

source said. The gates, likeall under the city’s newlease, would not be op-erated exclusively byAmerican but are consid-ered advantageous to thatcarrier because of its cur-rent position on the L con-course.

The mayor is seeking toleverage theMayexpirationdate of the airlines’ 35-yearlease to secure from thecarriers higher fees andcharges that would helpbankroll theambitiousproj-ect. Under Emanuel’s pro-posal, the amount of spacefor planes to park at airlinegates would grow by 25percent and the total num-berofgatesatO’Harewouldincrease from 185 today toroughly 220 upon the proj-ect’s completion in 2026.

The Chicago City Council is set to begin weighing the eight-year overhaul Thursday.

PHIL VELASQUEZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE 2016


What’s happening mightnot constitute outright agi-tating for his return, but anundercurrent for a Bo Re-vival certainly is out thereamongRambler fandom.

“I would absolutely loveto see Bo come back,” saidJohn Kyle, a 1992 Loyolagraduate. “He was the bestmascot that everwas.”

Kyle is biased. He wasthe last Bo, or as he callshimself, the “transitionBo,” who wore the hobocostume for a final time inthe first half of a basketballgame in 1990 thenwas toldto change into the newmascot outfit — a wolf thatlooked a little like thecartoon character Wile E.Coyote.

“I was a sophomore incollege,” Kyle recalled.“You gowith the flow.”

Bo fit thenickname

The Bo revival makessense at this moment,when the men’s basketballteam is about to play in theNCAA Tournament onThursday against the Uni-versity of Miami. The lasttime Loyola was this suc-cessful was in 1985. Bowasthemascot.

Just five years earlier,Loyola had no official mas-cot. The school never hadone, unless you count thelive goat named “Blur” —short for Rambler — whoroamed the courtside atbasketball games in the1960s.

In 1981 athletic depart-ment employees TomCooney and MartyHawkins were trying tostoke fan interest in the

basketball team. Geniusstruck while at Bruno’s, abar-liquor store institutionacross Sheridan Road fromthe Rogers Park campus,Cooney recalled.

They would create amascot, the two decided,and he would be a hobo,which aligned with Loyo-la’s history of roamingacross the country to playfootball games in the 1920s,a practice that prompted anewspaper reporter tocointhe school’s nickname,Ramblers.

The hobo also related tothe basketball team’s statusin the late 1970s and 1980s,when it played homegames at a half-dozen ven-ues in and aroundChicago.

“We thought it would befun,” Cooney said, “and wewanted to bring fun to thegames.”

Theybrought the idea toathletic director andbasketball coach Gene Sul-livan, who expressed littleinterest eitherway but toldthem, Cooney recalled,“Don’t get in trouble” and“we’re not paying for it.”

Within a few months,Cooney and Hawkins hadscraped together about$1,800 for a downpaymenton a costume and debutedBo via a spotlight an-nouncement at a gameagainst the University ofMinnesota in 1982.

He was an instant hit,Cooney said.

Over the years, differentstudents played Bo. Almostall displayed an edge thatmight be expected of astreetwise vagrant.

He made inappropriategestures at cheerleadersand referees. Staged, jokeybouts with Northwestern’sWillie the Wildcat and

DePaul’s Billy Blue Demonerupted into mascot streetfights, one of whichCooney had to break up.

“I got them under thestands and they take offtheir giant heads,” Cooneyrecalled, “and then theystart fightingagain. Ihad totell one to stay on thenorthside of the court and theother to stay on the southside.”

Bo’s final restingplace amystery

Modern sensibilitiescaught up with Bo. WhenChuck Schwarz took overas athletic director in 1987,he saw what he called “abum” as the mascot andzeroed in. A survey washeld at a women’s volley-ball game on whether tokeepBo.

Even though studentPatrick Schultz, now anassociate athletic directorat Loyola, and his friendstuffed the box with votesfor Bo, the universitypicked a wolf. The animalis a reference to thewolvesonLoyola’s crest. Themas-cot’s name? LU, for LoyolaUniversity.

TheearlyWileE.Coyoteversion,which at one pointincluded roller skates, hasmorphed into a fiercer-lookingmascot.

But the Bo faithful willnot rest. A lacrosse clubteam created in the early2000s called itself the Ho-bos, and students in thaterawere known to dress ashobos then head to GentileArena for basketballgames. A Twitter account,@BoRambler, was estab-lished in 2013 to keep thehobo’s memory alive and,according to one tweet,

“bring back the true Ram-bler, BoRambler.”

Several informal groupshave talked about resur-recting Bo, includingMau-reenBurke andher friends,who graduated in the early1970s, before Bowas intro-duced formally.Even in theearly 1970s, students em-braced the Rambler hoboas their mascot, she re-called.

“It was counterculture,”said Burke. “We wereproud tohaveabum. Itwasthe hippie era. Most of thestudents looked likeBoandyou felt a connection. Ithink in our own way, wewere trying to be hobos.”

The athletic departmentlate last year bowed toalum interest in Bo andreleased a “Retro Ram-blers” apparel line thatincluded a Bo Ramblerlogo.

But athletic departmentofficials are adamant thatBo’s return as a mascot isabout as likely as himstarting for theRamblers inthe tournament.

Student Isaiah Labaysupports LU over Bo. Thewolf “better embodies” thespirit of the university, saidLabay, 20, a freshman onthe debate team. He saidBo “was kind of shocking,to be honest. It stereotypeshobos in away. It was not agoodmascotwhatsoever.”

Even if the universitywants to bring Bo back, itwould have trouble findinghim. After he was down-sized, Bo’s costume wasstored in a closet by a pool.

When somebody wentlooking for him, his headwas gone.

SPRINGFIELD—Ridingin the back seat of a Buicksedan next to a cardboardbox filled with campaignswag, Democratic governorcandidate Bob Daiber man-aged volunteers from hiscellphone as an aide drovehim to a nearby Teamstershall in Springfield.

The conversations onthis late Januaryday rangedfrom the strategic place-ment of lawn signs to thepossible environmentalconsequences of pesticideuse and the specifics oflegalizing and taxing mari-juana.

“We’re starting to heavypush here with the cam-paign,” Daiber told a volun-teer. “I feel good — thisthing’s winnable. There’s alot of people saying ‘no’ tothe billionaires.”

It’s that optimism thathas kept the Downstateregional school superin-tendent pushing forwardeven as he has struggled toget attention aheadofTues-day’s Democratic governorprimary. A poll last monthby the Paul Simon PublicPolicy Institute at SouthernIllinois University foundDaiber at 1 percent of thevote.TioHardiman,ananti-violence activist from Calu-metCity,was at 2 percent.

While the front-runnersare able to air TV ads andsend flyers, Daiber’s cam-paign mainly operates on$85,000 in loans he’s made.Hardiman had $530.10 inhis campaign fund to startthe year, and he hasn’treported any big contrib-utions since.

Daiberhas tried todistin-guish himself as the onlyDownstate candidate, fre-quently touting his experi-ence in local government.Appearing onstage withcompetitors including bil-lionaire hotel heir J.B.Pritzker and Kenilworthdeveloper Chris Kennedy,Daiber often declares thathe’s “won more electionsthan these guyswill in theirlifetime.”

“I’ve got more votes thanall these guys put togetherfrom the residents of thestate of Illinois, and I canwin another one, and I’venever lost a primary,”Daiber said.

For his part, Hardimanfrequently recounts his2014 run against then-Gov.Pat Quinn. In that contest,Hardiman won 28 percentof the vote, which he saysshows he can competeagainst more experiencedand better-funded rivals.That showing, however,came in a one-on-onematchup, when votes forHardiman could have beencast as a protest againstQuinn. “I plan to surpriseeverybody,”Hardiman said.

The underdog candi-dates differ from rivals onmore than the size of theircheckbooks, with Daiberand Hardiman sometimestaking relatively conserva-tive stances on social issues.The two also differ fromanother largely unknownon the ballot, Robert Mar-shall, a perennial candidatewho previously has run as aRepublican and has pro-posed dividing Illinois intothree states.

As some Democrats callfor tighter gun control inthewakeof theFeb. 14massshooting in Parkland, Fla.,Daiber has focused on im-provingpublic school safetyprotocols. He calls for out-fitting doors and windowswith specialized film to

make them shatterproof,wants officials to re-evalu-ate evacuation procedureswhen a fire alarm goes offand has suggested improv-ing counseling services forstudents who demonstratea potential for violence.

Daiber is a longtime resi-dent of rural Marine, about30 miles northeast of St.Louis. He has held localoffice inMadisonCounty asa township supervisor, acounty board member andcurrently as regional publicschools superintendent. Healso ran for the IllinoisHouse three times in the1990s, losing to Republi-cans.

While several countygovernment colleagueshave commended him forhis work, court recordsshow taxpayers paid nearly$500,000 to settle a 2010lawsuit after a federal juryfound Daiber retaliatedagainst a female employeeby laying her off after shecomplained she wasn’t be-ing paid as much as a malecolleague. Daiber describedthe case as an “unfortunatesituation” but denied retali-ating against the employee.

He said he is personallyagainst abortion rights butsupports a controversialstate law that expanded theavailability of taxpayer-funded abortion.

Daiber supports legaliz-ing recreational marijuanause, but only if voters ap-prove. He’s also expresseddoubts about raising thestate’s minimum wage to$15 an hour, as some otherDemocrats have called for.And he has said the highend of his income tax pro-posal would apply a 6 per-cent tax to people earning$1million ormore a year.

Meanwhile, Hardimanfirst gained public attentionthroughhis former positionas the director of CeaseFireIllinois, a gang interventionprogram with the aim ofreducing violence. He wasabruptly removed from thatjob in 2013 when he wascharged with domestic bat-tery after his wife toldpolice he beat her followingan argument. Charges weredropped, and Hardimanmaintains he never abusedher.

Hehas pledged to reducegun violence statewide buthas said he opposes mea-sures that would furtherrestrict the rights of legalgun owners. He’s also takenameasured approach to thepossibility of marijuana le-galization, saying he wouldbe open to allowing smallamounts of recreationalpot.

On taxes, Hardimanwants to tax those earningat least $1 million at a 10percent rate.

Wearing a black-and-gold shirt for Black HistoryMonth, Hardiman ad-dressed hundreds ofchurchgoers during a Sun-day morning service inChampaign, asking them tomake him the state’s firstAfrican-Americangovernorin 2018. “Out of 42 gover-nors, we’ve never had ablack governor in the stateof Illinois,” he said.

“I’m not asking you tovote forme just because I’mblack,”Hardiman added. “Alot of people running forgovernor cannot identifywith being poor in Peoria,they cannot identify withliving just enough for thecity, they cannot identifywith no development inEast St. Louis.

“So, we’re running forgovernor to really turn thestate over to the people, andtake it away from all thesebig-time, big-money peopleout here.”

JOHN J. KIM/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

SPRINGFIELD — Asstudentsacross thecountrywalked out of classroomson Wednesday to protestgun violence, Democratswho control the IllinoisSenate continued to pushfirearm restrictions, in-cludingbills to limit assaultweaponpurchases.

Theactioncameonedayafter Republican Gov.BruceRauner vetoed legis-lation that would have es-tablished new state licens-ing requirements for gunshops, but an attempt tooverride him was put offuntil April.

Still, some lawmakerssought to seize on the callsfor toughergunregulationsin thewakeof theFebruaryhigh school shooting inParkland,Fla., and the slay-ing of Chicago policeCmdr. Paul Bauer. Theybegan the daywith a bipar-tisan walkout in solidaritywith students, departingthe ornate Senate chamberto gather outside the Capi-tol. There, they tearfullyread victims’ names, andsome held hands duringseveralmomentsof silence.

“This doesn’t need tohappen, it shouldn’t hap-pen,” said Sen. MelindaBush, D-Grayslake. “Wemust do more to protectour children from being

gunneddown at school.”An hour later, lawmak-

ers voted to ban the saleand possession of bumpstocks and trigger cranks,devices that are used tospeed up the rate at whicha gun can fire. The Houseapproved the bill weeksago, but the Senatechanged it to also allowtowns and cities to enactlocal assaultweapons bans.That power was repealedin 2013 as part of the state’sconcealed carry law.

Republican state Sen.Dale Righter of Mattooncalled those changes a“poison pill” that showsDemocrats don’t want towork together to find com-mon ground on gun con-trol. Democratic state Sen.Kwame Raoul of Chicagocountered that GOP law-makers regularly clamorfor allow local govern-ments to make their owndecisions. Raoul is one ofeight Democratic attorneygeneral candidates.

Four Republicans joinedDemocrats for a 37-16 votefor the bump stocks ban,sending it back to theHouse for further review.

Democrats also got helpfrom two Republicans toban the sale of assaultweapons and .50-caliberrifles to people under 21.That bill also returns to theHouse after the Senatemade changes aimed atpreventing weapons in

question from being takenaway from people whoalready own them. Oppo-nents contended youngadults under the age of 21should not have their Sec-ond Amendment rights in-fringed.

The only guns bill ad-vanced Wednesday thatwould now head toRauner’s deskwouldput inplace a 72-hour waitingperiod for those seeking tobuy assault weapons, a“cooling off” period that’salready law for handgunpurchases. It passed by a43-15 votewith no debate.

Left for another day isDemocrats’ attempt tooverride Rauner’s veto of anew licensing and regula-tory system for gun shops.The governor rejected thebill Tuesday, saying federalofficials already license re-tailers.

State Sen. Dan Harmon,D-Oak Park, said he couldnot call an override voteWednesday because thegovernor’s office did notofficially file veto paper-work with the Senate. Hesaid that means the 15-daycountdown to adeadline toact has yet to begin, solawmakers can try whenthey return to the Capitolon April 10. The governor’soffice, though, said it filedthe paperwork with theSecretaryofState’sofficeasit hasmany times before.

The state constitution

says the governor shouldfile his vetowith the cham-ber where the bill gotstarted unless lawmakersaren’t in session. In thatcase, a veto must be filedwith the Secretary of State.The Senate was in sessionTuesday andWednesday.

Lawmakers are takingseveral weeks off for nextweek’s primary electionand an annual springbreak. That would buyHarmon time to buildmore support for an over-ride, particularly amongsuburban Republicanswho may be more inclinedto vote in favor than theircounterparts from Down-state.When first approved,the bill got 30 votes in theSenate. Harmon needs 36votes to overturnRauner.

Rauner on Wednesdaycalled thestudentwalkoutsan appropriateway to hon-or the memory of thosekilled in Parkland, whiledisputing the suggestionthat his veto of the licens-ing bill was politically mo-tivated. “We took the timeto study that particular bill,we reviewed thedetail of it,and we determined that itreally created a massivelevel of expensive, onerousbureaucracy and really didvirtually nothing to in-crease public safety,”Rauner said.

Votes for a third candi-date in the Cook Countyassessor’s race will now becounted after an appellatecourt Wednesday restoredher status as a qualifiedcandidate, the latest twist inthemuch-watched contest.

The unanimous decisionby a three-judge panel ofthe 1st District Illinois Ap-pellate Court came twoweeks after city and countyelection officials began pro-viding notices to early vot-ers that votes for propertytax consultant Andrea Railawouldn’t count.

Since then, tens of thou-sands of people have castballots at early voting sitesthinking their choice wasbetween incumbent JoeBerriosandchallengerFritzKaegi. Nearly 99,000 earlyvotes have been cast, thevast majority of them afterthe notices went out. Thatfigure doesn’t include tensof thousands of vote-by-mail ballots already sent outwith the notices.

Election officials saidthose notices will now beremoved from early-votingsites, and the votes for Railawill be counted — barringany further court interven-tion. Still, some legalnoticesplaced in newspapers al-ready had been printed orgone to press.

“This bell is difficult toun-ring,” saidJamesAllen, aspokesman for the ChicagoBoard of Election Commis-sioners.

The appellate judges de-termined that county hear-ing officer ChristopherAgrella, who found a “pat-tern of fraud” occurred incollecting nominating peti-tion signatures for Raila,“abused his discretion” innot allowing a key witnessto testify. The witness, apetition circulator, hadsigned conflicting affidavitsabout how signatures weregathered andnotarized.

The Cook County Elec-toral Board accepted Agrel-la’s recommendation toknock Raila off the ballot,andatrial judgeagreed.Theappellate court, however,reversed that decision andordered theElectoral Boardto“ensure thatvotescast forRaila at the March 20, 2018Democratic primary arecounted.”

Raila attorney FrankAvila Jr. hailed the decisionand called on Kaegi, whowas behind the petitionchallenge, to apologize.

Kaegi had hoped for aone-on-one contest be-cause having another chal-lenger splits the anti-Berrios vote. Still, some ofBerrios’ political supporthas eroded in the wake of“The Tax Divide,” a seriesby theChicagoTribune andProPublicaIllinois thatcon-cluded property tax assess-mentsunderBerrios tendedto favor the wealthy at theexpense of the poor.

After Wednesday’s rul-ing, a Kaegi spokesman saidthe campaignwas consider-ing “all legal options,” in-cludingapotential appeal tothe Illinois SupremeCourt.

“The Cook County Elec-toral Board … conducted asound and thorough exami-nation of the mountain ofevidence that provedRaila’sfraudulent activity,” theKaegi campaign said in astatement. “Reversing thecircuit court’s decision justsixdaysbeforeElectionDaysets a dangerous precedentthat will encourage futurecampaigns to engage infraud with no fear of reper-cussion.”

Raila backon ballotin assessorrace twistBy Hal DardickChicago Tribune

More than $12,000 hasbeen raised to support a catcolony in an upscale Chi-cago neighborhood afterthe felines’ homeless car-etaker froze to death duringa stretch of brutal wintercold.

As of Wednesday eve-ning, 236 people had do-nated to an online fundrais-er to care for Antonio Gar-cia’s cats, who live in analley in theWest Town area

ofChicago.Garcia lived in a make-

shift shack outside poshcondos, where he’d stayedfor at least 10 years andformedanunlikely relation-ship with neighbors, whobrought him food, clothesand furniture.

Garcia, 64, died in Janu-ary, leaving behind about adozen cats. A group ofpeople who knew Garciahas been caring for his catssince, hanging a sign in thealley declaring the colony ismaintained by “Antonio’s

Friends.”Cynthia Doepke, an ex-

perienced animal rescueworker, started the fund-raiser to help take care ofthe cats, and it took off.Doepke said the moneyraised so far should lastyears and will go towardfood, veterinary care whennecessary, and other relatedexpenses, like a motion-sensor camera to watchover the animals and pro-tect them fromharm.

Doepke called Garcia “avery sweet, generous, self-

less person” who put hisanimals first.

“It goes to show you itdoesn’t matter if you live inan apartment or a shackoutside; who you are mat-ters, not what you have,”Doepke said.

“Thank you for steppingin for Antonio,” one $100donor wrote online. “Heundoubtedly is restingpeacefully knowing his be-loved alley cats continue tobe cared for.”

After homeless man’s death, $12K raised for his catsBy Gregory PrattChicago Tribune


Hyatt Hotel fortune heir wastrying to “avoid taxes” through theoffshore companies “and spentthe last year lying about it.”

“This is just exposing the fraudthat is the J.B. campaign forgovernor,” said Biss, a state sen-ator fromEvanston.

And another contender, Kenil-worth developer Chris Kennedy,said voters should considerPritzker’s words as if they wereconducting a job interview forgovernor.

“I’ve hired a lot of people and Ican tell you just one piece ofadvice to the voters of this state:You should never hire someonewho lies to you during a jobinterview. If they’ll lie toyou togetthe job, they’ll lie to you to keepthe job. And youdo notwant a liaras the governor of the state ofIllinois,” said Kennedy, a memberof the iconicMassachusetts politi-cal family.

Sharp attacks from all threecandidates dominated the finaltelevised debate before Tuesday’sprimary election, a campaignwhere Pritzker’s wealth and the$63.2 million self-funding of hisbid are a recurring source of jabsfromKennedy andBiss.

Unlike other debates featuringthe entire field of six candidateson theballot, the forumsponsoredby WTTW’s “Chicago Tonight”and the City Club of Chicagofeatured only the top three candi-dates in the polls.

Pritzker and his relationshipwith offshore trusts and shellcompanies served as the forum’s

dominant theme.A Chicago Tribune investiga-

tion published Wednesday foundseveral shell companies createdbetween 2008 and 2011 in theBahamas that are either owned byPritzker, his brother and businesspartner Anthony Pritzker, or listother close associates as execu-tives.

Wealthy people often use com-plicated offshore financial struc-tures to avoid paying taxes and tohide their assets from publicscrutiny, financial experts told theTribune.

Pritzkerhas said thathis grand-father set up offshore trusts dec-ades ago. Many of the recordsabout Pritzker’s more recent se-cretive offshore interests wereobtainedby theTribune throughareporting partnership with theInternational Consortium of In-vestigative Journalists, whichmaintains adatabaseofmillionsofleaked offshore financial recordscollectively knownas theParadisePapers.

One of the shell companies thatcity records show Pritzker whollyowns —Moreau Capital HoldingsLtd. — has a 9.4 percent stake ofEntertainment Cruises. Thecruise company is owned by thePritzker Group, the investmentcompany formed by Pritzker andhis brother.

An Entertainment Cruises sub-sidiary, SeadogVentures, is buyingcity-owned land along the Chi-cago River to launch amphibiousduck boat tours downtown.

During Wednesday night’s fo-rum, Pritzker tried to draw adistinction between Entertain-

ment Cruises and Moreau, theshell company, saying it was En-tertainment Cruises that’s tryingto do businesswith the city.

“There’s no shell companieshere,” he said.

As part of the campaign,Pritzker filled out a requiredstatement of economic interestlisting more than 360 entities, butnot thevalueof those investments.He also has not released completecopies of his tax returns or any taxreturns involving the trusts butsaid that over the last three years“that federal and state taxes paidby trusts for my benefit andpersonally” totaled $150million.

During the debate, Kennedyacknowledged that he invested ina fund similarly named to one ofPritzker’s offshore investments.But Kennedy said his investmentfund “files in theU.S.”

That fund, Anchorage IlliquidOpportunities IV Access, LP, wasincorporated inDelawareand listsa principal place of business asGrand Cayman, Cayman Islands,according to a U.S. Securities andExchange Commission filing. Anyincome Kennedy receives fromhis investment is taxable in theU.S., andhis campaign saidhe filesthe necessary forms with theInternal Revenue Service for theinvestment.

Pritzker accused his rivals ofattacking him because he’s thefront-runner.

“We’re in the last five days of acampaign. It’s clear they’rebehindand this is how they intend to runthe rest of the campaign. In fact,they’ve been running it this wayall along — quite negatively,”

Pritzker said.“They need to answer for their

records—their voting recordsandtheir record of either failed ac-complishment or just utter, out-right failure,” he said.

One of the most heated ex-changes camewhenKennedy saidPritzkerwasspendinghismillionsof dollars without being truthfulabout his challengers.

“The truth is, when you can’twin by telling the truth aboutyourself in a competition, some-times you have to try to tell liesaboutyourcompetitors inorder towin and that’s exactly what he’sdoing. Time and again,” Kennedysaid of Pritzker.

Pritzker interjected, “Thesetwowent on the attack.”

The prompted Kennedy to re-spond: “Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.”

Kennedyalso lashedout atBiss,who is seeking support from

backers of Vermont Sen. BernieSanders’ unsuccessful presi-dential campaign. Biss sponsored2013 legislation to cut benefits forpublic pensioners — a law laterruled unconstitutional. Biss hasacknowledged the move was amistake.

But Kennedy said Biss “fell”under Springfield’s spell.

“There’s nothing that aDemoc-rat can do that’s worse than whatyou did,” said Kennedy, callingBiss’move “disqualifying.”

EarlierWednesday, RepublicanGov. Bruce Rauner, himself awealthy private equity investor,accused Pritzker of “tax dodgingon amassive scale.”

into a hint that maybe hewasn’t ready for the spot-light of a governor’s race. Itseemed that Kennedy, de-spite hailing fromapoliticaldynasty and keeping a footin the Illinoispolitical scenefor much of his adult life,wasn’t that into being apolitician.

“I thinkthat’sapretty fairassessment,” Kennedy saidin a recent interview withthe Chicago Tribune. “AndI’d say that that has beenreinforced during this cam-paign.”

“I very much like beingwith people on the periph-ery of politics— an Indivisi-ble group or a group of civicleaders or businesspeopleor fraternities or sororitiesor cultural organizations,”Kennedy added. “But if I’mstuck in a Cook CountyDemocratic organizationalmeeting, Iwish Iwasn’t.”

Not so long ago, Kennedywas considered a top choiceamong those in the Demo-cratic establishment for thetask of making sure Raunerdidn’t win a second term.Kennedy had the familyname, business experienceand personal wealth. He’dbe an “excellent candidate”for governor, said IllinoisDemocratic Party Chair-manMichaelMadigan backat the 2016 convention.

But in the 13 monthssinceKennedy launchedhiscampaign, he’s struggled toraise campaign funds,madesome rookie mistakes andsaw much of the Demo-craticestablishment flocktobillionaire heir J.B. Pritzker.It’s left himat once trying toleverage the legacy of hislast name while campaign-ing as an outsider crusadingagainst the system.

Kennedy has accusedMadigan of getting rich offthe state’s dysfunctionalproperty tax system andMayor Rahm Emanuel ofleading a “strategic gentrifi-cation plan” to force Afri-can-Americans and otherminorities out of Chicago.

And Kennedy even haspraised Rauner for “hiswillingness tospeaktruthtopower,” referring to the Re-publican governor’s ethicsattacks onDemocrats.

Asked during a Demo-cratic debate to name onequality he admired aboutPritzker,Kennedy frozeandinstead delivered an insult(thathewouldapologize forafterward): “I’m challengedin this election, because Ithink that asDemocrats,webelieve government can beour ally. And when J.B.(Pritzker) emerges as theposter child of all that’swrong with the corruptsystem in our state, it’sdifficult for me to heappraise on him. And that’swhere I unfortunately needto end it.”

After another evening fo-rum, Kennedy joked to re-porters that they should becongratulated for stayingawake. And he canceled aDownstate debate appear-ance, citing a back injury.

Evenhis allies agreeKen-nedy lacks polish.

“I call him ‘the Kennedywith no charisma,’ ” Demo-cratic U.S. Rep. Bobby RushofChicagosaidof thecandi-dateashe introducedhimata rally at Quinn ChapelAMEChurch inBronzevilleone Sunday in December.“But it’s all right. We don’tneed charisma right now.We need somebody with aheart.”

Kennedy sees his lack ofpolitical charm as a trade-off for offering “that unvar-nished version of the truth.”

Case in point: At a recentcampaign event, Kennedywas approached by a youngvoter who asked whetherhe would support fundingfor monetary assistancegrants for college students.Kennedy pointed out thatthe grants are available notjust to state and privatecolleges and universities,but also to for-profit col-leges that “screw” people.He said he supported tu-ition assistance, but only iftargeted to the right institu-tions.

Asked later about hischoice of words, Kennedyhadno regrets.

“I’vebeenaroundpoliticsmywhole life, and I’ve beenaround politicians mywhole life and I’m drawn tothe people who tell thetruth and identify the rootcauses,” Kennedy said. “If Ithink the for-profits arescrewing people, I’m goingto say the for-profits are

screwing people. I’m notgoing to dilly-dally aroundto give some limp answerthat protects my ability tocollect contributions fromthem sometime in the fu-ture.”

KennedybioThe eighth of Robert F.

andEthelKennedy’s 11 chil-dren, Chris Kennedy wasborn in Boston on theFourthof July 1963at a timewhen his uncle, PresidentJohn F. Kennedy, was in theWhiteHouse and his fatherwas U.S. attorney general.JFK was assassinated laterthat year. RFK later becamea U.S. senator from NewYork, then was gunneddown in June 1968 as hewas campaigning for thepresidency.

Chris Kennedy and hissiblings were raised in aVirginiasuburbofWashing-ton, and he went to prepschool inMaryland startingin the ninth grade.

Kennedy met Illinois na-tive Sheila Sinclair-BernerwhileattendingBostonCol-lege. After he graduated in1986, Kennedy moved to

Downstate Decatur to learnabout food production atArcher Daniels Midland.He and Sheila married in1987.

Kennedy says he wastrying to follow in the foot-steps of older brother Jo-seph Kennedy, who hadstarted a not-for-profit oilcompany that used the pro-ceeds from selling petro-leum products to pay forhome heating oil for poorand elderly people inMass-achusetts.

“I thought,man, Iwant todo what Joe’s doing,” Ken-nedy says in his stumpspeech about his earlyyears. “He’d figured out away to bend the rules of theeconomy so it works out foreverybody, not just the su-per rich.”

Kennedy was interestedin hunger issues, which ishow he explains ending upwith a job at a small grainelevator buying corn andsoybeans for farmers,which later evolved into aposition as an ADM runnerat the Chicago Board ofTradeandChicagoMercan-tile Exchange. Later, he gotan MBA at Northwestern

University and becamepresident of the Merchan-dise Mart, which wasownedbytheKennedy fam-ily until it sold the buildingfor $625million in 1998.

During his time at theMart, Kennedy said hegained the business experi-ence he’s now touting as anasset in the governor’s race.

“We were really in thetrade show business,” saidKennedy, who recallsputting on 90 shows a yearfor everything from floorand lighting to bridal gownsand men’s suits. “I learnedhow the political economyworks, how politics andgovernment interact with agrowing or shrinking econ-omy, what decisions a gov-ernment can make to makethat economy grow, or deci-sions they don’t make thatnegatively impacts that.”

Oneproject fromhis timeat the Mart that Kennedydoesn’t talk about is anearlyhalf-billion-dollar public-private partnership to builda convention center andmedical mart in Cleveland,which Kennedy brokeredthrougha family friend.Thefriendwasamonglocalpoli-ticians who gave Kennedy’scompany a no-bid contractand pushed through a con-troversial sales tax hike topay for the project, whichnow sits largely empty andhas failed to bring in thepromised revenue, a Trib-une review of the dealfound.

Kennedy stepped downfrom theMerchandiseMartin 2011 and turned hisattention back to hungerissues, starting a nonprofitfood company with wifeSheila. The organization,Top Box Foods, deliversdiscounted groceries tolow-income people wholive in food deserts. It nowoperates in Cook County,LakeCountyandNewOrle-ans.

Though his name haslong been floated for cam-paigns, Kennedy has neverheld elected office, makinghis six-year stint as chair-man of the University ofIllinois board of trustees hismost high-profile publicrole. Then-Gov. Pat Quinnappointed Kennedy in

2009, and at times he facedcontroversy, including overhis hiring of a universitypresident who ended upresigning amid a facultyuprising involving an emailscandal.

Kennedy’s time at the U.of I. has alsobeen fodder forattacks from his Demo-cratic opponents, includingbusinessman and philan-thropist J.B. Pritzker. He’saired a TV ad criticizingKennedy for voting to raisetuition multiple times andin a radio adblamedhim fora drop in enrollment amongAfrican-Americans.

Kennedy fired back thatPritzker, a billionaire who’spersonally spent $63.2 mil-lion on his primary cam-paign, “may not be awarethat the rest of the countrywent through the GreatRecession in 2008 and2009. That’s when African-American enrollment inmajor universities and col-leges across the UnitedStates dropped off andplummeted, not because ofactions by the board oftrustees but because of amassive recession that putmillions of people out ofwork,made it nearly impos-sible for them to enjoy thebenefits of being free in theland of the free.”

Themoney issueThe issue of money has

loomed large in the race, inpart because of Pritzker’sfortune, which places himon the annual Forbes 400and has allowed him tospend freely in the primarycampaign.

Kennedy’s exact portionof his family’s haul from thesale of the MerchandiseMart is unknown, and he’sdeclined to answer ques-tions about his personal networth. Partial tax returnsKennedy released last yearshowed that he had $1.2million in taxable state in-come in 2016.

When pressed by report-ers last summer, Kennedysaid his financial situationwas“significantlydifferent”than Pritzker’s and that itrequired him to seek “theindividual support of resi-dents of our state.”

But Kennedy’s campaignfinance operation has takenin about $6.5 million sinceJanuary 2017, including $1.5million out of his ownpocket, according to statecampaign finance records.That sum would have beenplenty in an ordinary gover-nor’s race, butwith Pritzkerand Rauner involved, thebar for what would beconsidered enough moneyto run a serious campaignhas been raised.

Without Pritzker’s mon-ey and party backing, Ken-nedy has tried to positionhimself as the anti-estab-lishment candidate. Thestrategy has required Ken-nedy to update his family’snarrative in ways that playup its more rebellious his-tory.

“People come up to meand they say, ‘How can yourunasaKennedy, amemberof the most establishmentfamily in the United States,howcanyou runagainst theestablishment, how doesthat make any sense?’ ”Kennedy said during a lateFebruary campaign stopwith African-Americanclergy members at aBronzeville church. “And Isay, ‘No, no, no, no, no.That’s the history of theKennedys in politics.’ ”

John F. Kennedy defiedparty bosses in the Demo-cratic primarywhoworriedhewas too young andCath-olic to win a general elec-tion.Robert F.Kennedywascampaigning against a sit-ting Democratic presidentat the time of his assassina-tion because he didn’t“think Lyndon Johnsonshould continue to sendyoung people to die inVietnam.”

And U.S. Sen. Ted Ken-nedytookonfellowDemoc-rat Jimmy Carter in 1980,saying Carter had sided“with the large banks andAmerican corporations toraise interest rates to savethemagainst inflation.”

“We do not in the Ken-nedy family mind beingcalled traitors to our partyas long as we’re acknowl-edged for being patriots toour country,” Chris Ken-nedy said.

The draw of the familyname has helped keep Ken-nedy’s campaign afloat.

On a recent evening, doz-ens of campaign supportersand Kennedy family mem-bers packed into a SouthSide comedy club to see thecandidate and enjoy a showby Keegan-Michael Key, acomedian who has Chicagoties and is backingKennedy.

Kennedy, who recentlytold the Tribune he’s “atmyhappiest in a live perform-ancewhensomebodyelse isonstage andwhen I can loseany sense of myself and betotally engrossed in some-body else’s performance,”gave the evening’s shortestspeech.

He used the time to drawon a central campaigntheme: the notion that Ken-nedy family values extendbeyond the iconic Massa-chusetts political dynastyand include a belief thatgovernment should step infor those in need.

“We see government asan extension of family,” hesaid. “We believe those val-ues shouldbepresent inourgovernment so that every-body is brought along.”

He was also characteris-tically blunt as he laid outwhat he sees as the highstakes involved if Illinoisdoesn’tmake a change.

“Iwant our kids to stay inIllinois. I want to be aroundour grandkids if I’m luckyenough to have them,”Ken-nedy said. “That’s the driv-ing force of everything. Anditmay sound selfish, but I’mtelling you everybodyaround the state has exactlythe same fear: They’re allworried that their kids aregoing to leave them andthey’re going to die alonehere in Illinois without thenext generation.AndIdon’twant that to happen.”

NATION&WORLD

WASHINGTON — TheWhite House said Wednes-day that it does not favor animmigration agreementwith Congress that wouldinvolve extending protec-tions for certain young im-migrants for three years inexchange for three years ofborderwall funding.

Deputy press secretaryRaj Shah said the adminis-tration continues to negoti-ate an immigration over-haul thatwould address theObama-eraDeferredAction

for Childhood Arrivals pro-gram that protects youngimmigrants from deporta-tion while also stoppingillegal immigration andmodernizing the legal im-migration system.

Two GOP officialsbriefed on the talks said theso-called three-for-threeproposalhadbeenfloated instaff-level discussions in re-cent days. The officialsspoke on condition of ano-nymity.

President Donald Trumphas proposed a path tocitizenship for about 1.8

million immigrants broughtto the country illegally aschildren in exchange for$25 billion for a borderwalland other security mea-sures, along with curbinglegal immigration. ManyDemocrats have opposedthe proposals.

Trump visited the U.S.-Mexico border Tuesday toseeprototypesof thebarrierthat he wants built. Calls tobuild the wall — a rallyingcry of his presidential cam-paign— andTrump’s insist-ence that Mexico pay for ithave led to a coarsening in

ties between theU.S. and itssouthern neighbor.

Trump ended theObamaprogram last September,saying he believed DACAwas unconstitutional.Trump pledged to workwith Democrats and Re-publicans to protect theso-called Dreamers fromdeportation.

WASHINGTON — Asstudents walked out ofschools across the countryWednesday to protest gunviolence, a Senate hearingexamined law enforcementagencies’ failure to heedmultiple warnings aboutthe Parkland, Fla., man ac-cused of killing 17 people ata high school, as well as thelong record of failed guncontrol measures in Con-gress.

The Senate JudiciaryCommittee hearing tookplace as the accused gun-man, Nikolas Cruz, 19, ap-peared in court in FortLauderdale, Fla., and wasarraigned on a 34-countindictment in connectionwith the shooting rampageFeb. 14 at Marjory Stone-manDouglasHigh School.

Cruz did not speak and aplea of not guilty was en-tered on his behalf afterstate prosecutors filed no-tice that they would seekthe death penalty in thecase.

Bill Bowdich, the FBI’sacting deputy director, told

the Senate panel that theagency erred when it failedto follow up on a detailedwarning on a tip line thatCruz was “going to ex-plode.”

“Wemademistakes here,no question about it,”Bowdich said. “That said,even if we had done every-thing right, I’m not sure wecould have stopped the at-tack.”

He acknowledged thatFBI agents missed an op-portunity to question Cruzand to alert local law en-forcement inFlorida thatheposed a possible danger.Cruz had been expelledfrom high school for disci-plinary reasons and hadbeen the subject of dozensof complaints to local po-lice.

Bowdich said a closefriend of the Cruz familyhad called the FBI’s tipcenter Jan. 8 with a “veryexplicit” warning, sayingCruz had purchased weap-ons, was mutilating smallanimals, had threatened hismother with a rifle andtalked about the terroristgroup Islamic State.

The tip center employeediscussed the report with asupervisor but both agreedto close the matter withoutforwarding the report toFBIagentsor to localpolice,

Bowdich said.An FBI agent also failed

to follow up after Cruzposted a video on YouTubelast September in which hevowedhewas“going tobeaprofessional school shoot-er.” Bowditch said the agentcould not identify the per-son who posted the video,although Cruz had used hisreal name.

Noneof theFBIagentsoremployees has been disci-plined for what Bowditchdescribed as “judgmentcalls.” He added, “Theseemployees have due proc-ess like anyone else.”

Bowditch sought tospread the blame, however,

saying that local law en-forcement had made 30 to40 visits to Cruz’s homeafter receiving reports ofthreats or other problems.

Lawmakers made cleartheir dismay, although theyoffered no clear solutions.

“It’s my impression thatthe man did everything buttake out an ad in the papersaying ‘I’m going to killsomeone,’ ” said Sen. Lind-seyGraham,R-S.C.

Democratic senators saidnew laws are needed toimprove backgroundchecks for gun purchases,and to ban the sale ofassault-style semi-auto-maticweapons, evenas they

concededthat theproposalsfaced long odds of winningapproval.

Several cited the longrecord of gun control billsthat have died in Congress,including measures thatwere proposed after 20 stu-dents and six educatorswere massacred Dec. 14,2012, at Sandy Hook Ele-mentary School in New-town,Conn.

Under existing law, theBureauofAlcohol,Tobacco,Firearms and Explosives,known as theATF, is barredfrom computerizing its gunownership records. Theyare kept on paper instead, amove heavily promoted by

gun-rights activists whoseek to limit gun regula-tions.

Meanwhile, the Houseon Wednesday passed abipartisan bill that providesgrants to states to trainteachers to be alert tothreats of gun violence —but has no gun controlprovisions.

The White House said itwouldworkwith theSenateto pass the bill.

After theParkland shoot-ing, President DonaldTrump vowed to defy theNRA and push for a com-prehensive gun control billthat would raise the agelimit to purchase rifles, im-pose near universal back-ground checks and renew aban on assault-style rifles.

Trump abandoned thosepromisesMonday.

At the hearing Wednes-day, Katherine Posada, aMarjory Stoneman Douglasteacher, recountedhowstu-dents in her honors classwere discussing Shake-speare’s “Macbeth” whenthe shooting erupted. Theyhuddled in terror as shefought her panic.

She said Congressneeded to act to controlweapons— and that armingteachers was not the an-swer.

“The fact that a 19-year-old can go into a gun storeand buy a semi-automaticweaponandahigh-capacitymagazine… that is insane tome,” she said.

Hearing focuseson FBI misstepsSenate panel delvesinto Fla. massacre,gun control movesBy Joseph TanfaniWashington Bureau

Katherine Posada, a teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, testifies during a Senatepanel hearing Wednesday about the Feb. 14 rampage, which left 17 dead in Parkland, Fla.

SHAWN THEW/EPA

They bowed their headsin honor of the dead. Theycarried signswithmessageslike “Never again” and “AmI next?” They railed againstthe National Rifle Associ-ation and the politicianswho support it.

And over and over, theyrepeated the message:Enough is enough.

In awave of protests thatone historian called thelargest of its kind in Ameri-can history, tens of thou-sands of students walkedout of their classroomsWednesday to demand ac-tion on gun violence andschool safety.

The demonstrations ex-tended from Maine toHawaii as students joinedtheyouth-led surgeof activ-ism set off by the Feb. 14massacre at Marjory Stone-man Douglas High Schoolin Parkland, Fla.

“We’re sick of it,” saidMaxwell Nardi, a senior atDouglas S. Freeman HighSchool in Henrico, Va.“We’re going to keep fight-ing, and we’re not going tostop until Congress finallymakes resolute changes.”

Students around the na-tion left class at 10 a.m. localtime for at least 17 minutes— one minute for each ofthe dead in the Floridashooting. Some ledmarchesor rallied on football fields,while others gathered inschool gyms or took a kneein the hallway.

At some schools, hun-dreds of students pouredout. At others, just one ortwo walked out in defiance

of administrators.They lamented that too

many young people havedied and that they’re tiredof going to school afraidtheywill be killed.

“Enough is enough. Peo-ple are done with beingshot,” said Iris Fosse-Ober,18, a senior at WashburnHigh School in Minneapo-lis.

Some issued specific de-mands for lawmakers, in-cluding mandatory back-ground checks for all gunsales and a ban on assaultweapons like the one usedin the Floridamassacre.

While administratorsand teachers at someschools applauded studentsfor taking a stand — and

some joined them — othersthreatened punishment formissing class.

As the demonstrationsunfolded, the NRA posted aphoto on Twitter of a blackrifle emblazoned with anAmerican flag. It includedtext that said: “I’ll controlmy ownguns, thank you.”

Theprotests tookplaceatschools from the elementa-ry level through college,including some that havewitnessed their own massshootings: About 300 stu-dents gathered on a soccerfield at Colorado’s Col-umbine High, while stu-dents who survived theSandy Hook ElementarySchool attack in 2012marched out of Newtown

High School in Connecti-cut.

In the nation’s capital,more than 2,000 teenageprotesters observed 17 min-utes of silence while sittingon the ground with theirbacks turned to the WhiteHouse. President DonaldTrumpwas out of town.

The students carriedsignswithmessages such as“Our Blood/Your Hands”and “Never Again” andchanted slogans against theNRA.

In New York City, theychanted, “Enough isenough!” In Salt Lake City,the signs read, “Protect kidsnot guns,” “Fear has noplace in school” and “Am Inext?”

Stoneman Douglas HighseniorDavidHogg,whohasemerged as one of the lead-ing student activists,livestreamed thewalkout atthe tragedy-stricken schoolonhisYouTubechannel.Hesaid students couldn’t beexpected to stay in classwhile there was work to doto prevent gun violence.

“Every one of these indi-viduals could have died thatday. I could have died thatday,” he said.

Another protest againstgunviolence is scheduled inWashington on March 24,with organizers saying it isexpected to draw hundredsof thousands.

But Congress has shownlittle inclination to defy the

NRA and tighten gun laws,and Trump backed awayfrom support for raising theminimum age for buying anassault rifle to 21.

A spokeswoman forEdu-cation Secretary Betsy De-Vos, newly appointed headof a federal panel on schoolsafety, said DeVos “gives alot of credit to the studentswho are raising their voicesand demanding change,”and “their input will bevaluable.”

David Farber, a historyprofessor at the Universityof Kansas, said Wednes-day’s walkouts were thelargest protest led by highschool students in U.S. his-tory.

Wednesday’s protestswere organized by Em-power, the youth wing oftheWomen’sMarch, whichbrought thousands toWashington last year.

In Brimfield, Ohio, 12-year-old Olivia Shane, anavidcompetitive trapshoot-er, skipped the gun protestand memorial held at herschool. “Peoplewant to takeaway our guns and it’s aSecond Amendment rightof ours,” she said. “If theywant to take away ourSecond Amendment right,why can’t we take awaytheir amendment of free-domof speech?”

About 10 students leftOhio’s West Liberty-SalemHigh School — which wit-nessed a shooting last year— despite a warning theycould face detention ormore serious discipline.

The walkouts drew sup-port from companies suchasmedia conglomerate Via-com, which paused pro-gramming on MTV, BET,Nickelodeon and its othernetworks for 17 minutesduring thewalkouts.

In shootings’ wake, students walk outAcross U.S., theyprotest violencethat scars schoolsBy Collin BinkleyAssociated Press

Students rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C., as part of a national call for action after last month’s massacre in Florida.

JIM WATSON/GETTY-AFP


Thousands of studentsacross the Chicago areawalked out of schoolsWednesday wearing or-ange, carrying signs andchanting “Enough!” — add-ing their voices to a chorusof young people across thecountry demanding gun re-form.

At dozens of public andprivate schools fromWaukegan toMokena, fromChicago’s lakefront toElgin,teens in the city and sub-urbshonoredthe17killed inthe shooting at MarjoryStoneman Douglas HighSchool inParkland,Fla., onemonthago,andcalledatten-tion to the gun violence thathas plagued their schoolsand communities.

Some students carriedsigns with the names of theParkland victims. Otherswalked out silently to con-vey a somber message. Stillothers released balloonsand erupted into cheers asstudent speakers addressedthe crowds.

“If we keep coming to-gether like this, we will beunstoppable,” said Gene-vieve Lindley, 18, a senior atEvanston Township HighSchool, where school offi-cials estimated that morethan 3,300 students — 90percent of the student body— filled the football stadiumfor the walkout. “If we donot want gun violence todefine our generation, thenlet’smake a difference.”

In a highly choreo-graphed demonstration atWest Aurora High School,an estimated 2,000 stu-dents, more than half thestudent body, stood in aformation on the school’sfootball field to spell out thewords “NEVER AGAIN.”Although students at thehigh school were given de-tentions for missing schoolduringawalkout twoweeksago, administrators workedwith students to planWednesday’s walkout anddid not dole out conse-quences for participation.

The students chanted“save thekids,bantheguns”and designated 17 studentsto represent each of thepeople killed in the Park-land shooting by holdingsigns, carrying flowers andremaining silent for theentire school day.

“It doesn’t matter ourage, we have a voice andwe’re taking action,” saidWest Aurora senior AlonsoCisneros.

At Barrington HighSchool, about 500 studentstook their message offschool grounds by walkingroughly a half-mile to Me-morial Park in downtownBarrington to host anotherrally, which organizers saidwas meant to raise aware-ness about the lack of fed-eral gun-control laws. Driv-ers honked in support astheydrovepast the studentswho carried signs andchanted “enough isenough” along Main Street.Parents and residents linedthe street carrying signsthat supported thestudents’cause.

“This is not the end, butthe beginning of a nation-wide call for gun control,”said Syd Bakal, a senior atBarrington High School.“There are teens likemyselfwho are tired of lockdowndrills, fear and perpetualmourning.”

Officials at RichardsHigh School in Oak Lawnestimatedmore than half ofthe 1,600 students gatheredoutside. “Far too familiarare the reports of schoolviolence and the mourningof torn families,” said seniorJonathanLe,whobegan thewalkout with an announce-ment over the school’s pub-lic address system. “Thetime for change is now.School safety is not a politi-cal issue but a fundamentalright for everyone.”

In Chicago, students tai-lored their message to in-clude concerns about thecity’s violence.

Hundreds of students atJuarez High Schoolmarched out of campus andcrowded the Near SouthSide building’s soccer field.They pinned ribbons totheir coats and later knelt tohonor the memory of thosekilled or wounded by gunviolence in the community.

“Now is the time to cometogether to make the

change happen in our soci-ety for our future,” saidNancy Chavez, a Juarezsophomore who addressedstudents at the Wednesdaymorning rally and called forthemtosupport stricterguncontrol legislation. “Every-one who is here listening —whether you’re black,white, brown, yellow, what-ever you are or what yourepresent — your story isimportant. What I wantfrom you is to standwith usand make a change and call‘enough.’ Enough gun vi-olence, enough bodies shotdown, enough shootings,enough deaths among ourold and our young people,”Chavez said.

Dressed in black clothingwith red tape across theirmouths, more than 300students fromNorth Lawn-dale College Prep andNorth Lawndale HighSchool on theWest Side lefttheir campuses about noonWednesday and walked si-lently toward the intersec-tion of Kedzie Avenue andRoosevelt Street, where thetwo groups met. Severalpeople carried purplecrosses with portraits ofvictims of gun violence.During a news conferencelater, the students de-manded better mental-health and trauma re-sources in schools.

“Living in Chicago, wehave to deal with thesethings on a daily basis,” saidAudrey Wright, a 17-year-old junior at North Lawn-dale College Prepwho trav-eled with a group of localstudents to Florida earlierthis month for a daylong

discussionwith survivors ofthe Parkland shooting.

“I worry every day aboutwhether or not I’m gonnaget shot or whether I’mgonna get caught in a drive-by,” Wright said. “As a per-son with a loud voice andsomeone with a strongmindset, I feel like I can usethose tools and help bringawareness to the things thatgo on inChicago.”

NancyRamirez, 18, a sen-ior at North Lawndale Col-lege Prep, spoke about thetrauma she endured whenher brother was shot todeath a few blocks from thecampus three years ago.When she was 13, hermother was shot in theirhome. “I’ve lost many peo-ple to gun violence,” shesaid. “It’s like no one’s therefor us. We don’t have theproper resources.”

Officially, Chicago PublicSchools welcomed the pro-tests and promised thatstudentswouldnotbepuni-shed for participating. Dig-nitaries including MayorRahmEmanuel, Ald. DanielSolis, 25th, plus former gov-ernor and attorney generalcandidate Pat Quinn visitedcampuses for the rally.

“We support our stu-dents,” CPS chief JaniceJackson saidTuesday. “Wewill not enact any disci-plinary measures — wethink it’s critically impor-tant that student voice isheard at this crucial point inour history as a nation.”

In Chicago, police werenotified about a group ofstudents who looted theWalmart at 8300 S. StewartAve., according to a spokes-

man for the Chicago PoliceDepartment. A 16-year-oldfrom Kenwood AcademyHigh School was hand-cuffed and taken into cus-tody after police accusedher of obstructing LakeShore Drive. The studentwas not charged. She wasreleasedaboutanhour later,said Madison Miller, 17, asenior at Kenwood whohelped to organize theschool’s walkout to stand insolidarity with Parklandstudents, but also to callattention to her communi-ty’s need for youth jobs andmental-health resources.

“All of these things thatwe don’t have can keep usfrom violence,” said Miller,who said her group wasattempting to form a “unitycircle” on the lakefront.

Catholic schools partici-pated too. At Loyola Acade-my in Wilmette, roughlyhalf of the high school’s2,000 students took part inthe walkout by wearing anorange name tag with thename of a victim of gunviolence.When the nameofeach victim was read overthe loudspeaker, the ideawas for students to feelsomething in their hearts,said Catherine Flannery, 15,a sophomore at the school.

And at JosephinumAcademy of the SacredHeart in Wicker Park, stu-dents and faculty gatheredin the school’s gym andprayed together beforewalking out. CarolinaDom-inguez, a student servicecoordinator, addressed thecrowd and asked the girls tostand if they knew anyoneaffected by gun violence or

if they had been impactedby gun violence. Nearly ev-ery student stood up.

The swiftmobilization ofstudents across Illinois is anuprising that some schooladministrators say theyhaven’t seen indecades, andone that shows no signs ofslowing down.

Wednesday’s walkoutscome three weeks afterhundreds of high schoolstudents across theChicagoarea walked Feb. 21, andanother walkout is plannedfor April 20 — the 19thanniversary of the Col-umbine High School shoot-ing inColorado. In anation-wide rally called March forOur Lives scheduled forMarch 24, students, parentsand gun-control advocatesplan to take to the streets ofWashington, D.C., Chicagoand other cities in theU.S.

As students organizedwalkouts, educators wereleft to strike a delicatebalance between encourag-ing young people’s civicengagementandtheneedtokeep them safe.

While schools have theright to discipline studentsfor not being present inclass, many school officialshave been supportive of thestudent-led walkouts andcollaborated with studentorganizers to plan walkoutsthat are safe, meaningfulandnonpolitical.

Still, many of the stu-dents who walked outWednesday carried signswith pointed political mes-sages such as “Protect ourChildren, Not Your Guns”with the no symbol over the“NRA,” and “The only thingthat is easier to buy than agun is aU.S. Senator.”

AtHinsdaleCentralHighSchool, where district offi-cials did not condone thewalkout and said studentswould face consequencesfor missing class, hundredsof students participated in awalkout, reading the namesand ages of the 17 Parklandvictimsbeforereleasingbal-loons into the sky.

“The students of Park-landbasically instigated thismovement and startedfighting for change,” said18-year-old Louise Irpino,of Hinsdale, who helped toorganize her school’s walk-out through Instagram.“Peopleouragehaveavoice

and they should be listenedto.”

The paradox of keepingkids safe and refrainingfrom partisanship playedout in several school dis-tricts that changed plans atthe eleventh hour.

A planned walkout atRomeoville High Schoolwas postponed after schoolofficials learned of a socialmedia post of a studentholding what appeared tobe a “threatening weapon.”A police investigationshowed there was no viablethreat to student safety, andstudents were in classWednesday. Students stillgathered inside the highschool gym for 17 minutesof silence during whichthey reflected on the liveslost and their own relation-ships with other students.“The silence spoke volumesas to their beliefs and theircause that they wanted tomake sure people heardtoday,” Romeoville HighSchool Principal DerekKinder said.

Although the school’swalkout was canceled,some gun-rights advocatesstill showed up for aplanned counterprotestnear the high school.

“As a mom, I am heart-broken,” saidMaryCallison,of Paw Paw, said of recentshootings. “But we’re notaddressing the real issuebehind this. It’s not about aweapon. It’s about the peo-ple behind theweapon.”

A small cluster of pro-gunadvocatesprotested thewalkouts inbothBarringtonand Naperville, with signsthat read “Protect Schools,More Armed Security” and“ArmourTeachers.”

In Grayslake, whereschool administrators hadcollaborated with studentsto plan a walkout, schoolofficials moved the eventindoors after some parentsexpressed concern. Otherschool districts workedwith student leaders to planalternative gatherings, in-cluding meetings with locallegislators or indoor rallies.Teachers and staff atschools where walkoutswere planned continued in-struction for students whodisagreewithordidn’twantto join thewalkouts.

At New Trier HighSchool in Winnetka, wheremore than 1,000 of thenearly 3,000 studentswalked out Wednesday asschool administrators andpolice looked on, seniorBrian Butler said he knewsome students who stayedin the library because theydid not want to be a part ofthewalkout.

“I think people who aresitting inside now in thelibrary just don’t agree withthe main protesters,” saidButler, who participated inthe walkout. “I don’t thinkit’s bad that people didn’tcome out. I think it’s totallyreasonable. I do think it’stotally OK for both sides toeitherwalk out or stay in.”

The first torpedo hit theUSS Lexington’s port sideabout 11 a.m. on the last dayof the Battle of the CoralSea, a crucial point in theUnited States’ war againstJapan. Within minutes, an-other torpedo landed, fol-lowed by three bombs fromJapanese dive bombers.

Fires raged, but theywere under control twohours later.

Still, the consecutive hitsfrom the Japanese navywould eventually spell theend for the aircraft carrierknown as Lady Lex. Fueltanks from underneathwere ruptured, causing anexplosion that shook thewarship. Capt. FrederickSherman ordered his menup to the flight deck.

By 5 p.m., he yelled,“Abandon ship!”

Men jumped into thewarm water and were res-cued by nearby cruisers anddestroyers.

Sherman and his execu-tive officer, Cmdr. M.T.Seligman,were the lastonesto leave before Lady Lexsank into the Coral Sea onMay 8, 1942, the end of thefour-day naval battle be-tween Allied forces fromthe United States and Aus-tralia, and the Imperial Jap-aneseNavy.

A little more than 200crew members died — partof the price the UnitedStates paid to help protectits ally, Australia, fromJapanduringWorldWar II.

About 2,770 survived, in-cluding Wags, the captain’sdog.

The remains of Lady Lexwould stay hidden on the

floorof theCoral Sea for thenext 76 years — until theywere found by a billionairewho spends some of hisfortune recovering the lostwreckage of previouswars.

Microsoft co-founderPaul Allen last week an-nounced the discovery ofthe USS Lexington about500 miles off the easterncoast of Australia, 2 milesbelow the surface of theCoral Sea.

“To pay tribute to theUSS Lexington and thebrave men that served onher is an honor,” Allen said.“AsAmericans, all of us owea debt of gratitude to every-one who served and whocontinue to serve our coun-try for their courage, per-sistence and sacrifice.”

Allen, a Seattle-basedentrepreneur and philan-thropist who also invests inenvironmental causes, hadbought a 250-foot researchvessel calledR/VPetrel andretrofitted it with state-of-the-art equipment capableof diving 31⁄2 miles, accord-ing to hiswebsite.

Allen has used the vesselin expeditions that led tothe discovery of severalhistoric warships and arti-facts.

The USS Indianapoliswas recovered from thebottom of the PhilippineSea inAugust,more than 70years after a Japanese sub-marine fired six torpedoestoward the 610-foot heavycruiser, dividing it in pieces.About 800 of the nearly1,200 crew members madeit off the ship before it sank,but many died of dehydra-tion and starvation as theyfloated helplessly in shark-infested waters for fourdays.

Last year, President Don-ald Trump paid tribute tothe veterans who servedduring the Battle of theCoral Sea, which the De-

partment of Defense de-scribes as a “crucial turningpoint in the war againstImperial Japan in the Pa-cific.”

“In those Pacific waters,we forged iron bonds be-tween our countries. Fewpeoples in the world shareties in history, affection andculture like the Americansand Australians. Those tiesare sealed with the blood ofour grandfathers and fa-thers and those same tiesare now the priceless herit-age we celebrate so beauti-fully tonight,” Trump saidduring theMay speech.

The Battle of the CoralSea, which lasted fromMay4 toMay 8, 1942, came at anunsettling time for theUnited States, Australia andtheir allies.

Allied forces had beenexperiencing mounting de-feats, while the Japanesemilitary had been contin-ually succeeding, beginningwith the attack on PearlHarbor months earlier. InAustralia, people had begunto expect an imminent inva-sion by Japan.

By April 1942, Australiahad become a target for theJapanese. Leaders ofJapan’s navy had begundevising ways to capturePort Moresby and the is-lands of Tulagi, New Cale-donia,Fiji andSamoa—eastandnortheastofAustralia—partly to cut off communi-cations with the UnitedStates and leave it vulnera-ble to Japanese invasion.

Occupying Papua NewGuinea’s Port Moresby,

known as Operation MO,would “provide the Im-perial JapaneseNavywith asecure operating base onAustralia’s northerndoorstep,” according to theRoyal Australian Navy. Theplanning dragged on untilthe middle of April, whenAmerican bombers at-tacked Japanese home is-lands.

The attacks, thoughmin-imal, gave Operation MO arenewed sense of urgency.

The military forces be-hind Operation MO in-cluded an armada of de-stroyers, cruisers, aircraftcarriers and submarines.The U.S. Navy had receivedsignal intelligence onJapan’s intentions, but that“was barely enough advan-tage for the fleet to take onand force the Japanese toretreat,” according to theDepartment ofDefense.

Japan managed to cap-ture Tulagi, which is part ofthe Solomon Islands east ofPapuaNewGuinea, onMay3. The Battle of the CoralSea raged for the next fourdays. In the end, both theJapaneseand theAlliespor-trayed themselves as vic-tors, though both sides suf-fered severe losses.

“In a sense they are bothright,” according to theRoy-al AustralianNavy.

TheAmericans lostmore

ships than the Japanese.But the Allies prevented

Japan from capturing PortMoresby — its main objec-tive. By the time the USSLexingtonwas sunkonMay8, Japanese forces were notinapositiontokeepadvanc-ing. Their aircraft carrierShoho had been sunk. Asecond carrier, Shokaku,hadbeen severelydamaged,while a third, Zuikaku, waslowon fuel.

Adm. Shigeyoshi Inouye,leader of Operation MO,decided to postpone theinvasion of PortMoresby.

Many say that if it werenot for the damage theJapanese forces suffered,the Americans would nothave defeated them in thenext battle a month later.The Battle of the Midway,which raged from June 4 toJune 7, 1942, resulted in thedeaths of about 360 Ameri-can men — compared withmore than 3,000 Japanesecasualties.

Historians Jonathan B.Parshall and Anthony P.Tully described the Ameri-can assault on the Japanesefleet as “the single mostdecisive aerial attack innaval history.” The Battle ofthe Midway — arguablybecause of the Battle of theCoral Sea—helped turn thetide of war in the Pacifictheater.

CHICAGO — A formersheriff’s deputy accused ofbeing the ringleader in thebombing of a Minnesotamosque emerges in courtdocuments as a sometimes-threatening figure withanti-governmentviews,butalso as a person withenough intelligence andcharisma to write booksand woo others into hisshadowy group.

Michael Hari, 47, alleg-edly intended for the attackto scare Muslims into leav-ing theU.S.

He and two associateswere charged Tuesdaywith traveling some 500miles from rural Clarence,Ill., to carry out the Aug. 5pipe-bomb assault on theDar Al-Farooq IslamicCenter in Bloomington,Minn. The explosioncaused a damaging fire justas morning prayers wereabout to begin, but no onewas hurt.

Even before his arrest,the self-described entre-preneur and watermelonfarmer had a backgroundthat included working inlaw enforcement, floatingideas for a borderwallwithMexico, fleeing with hisdaughters to centralAmerica during a custodydispute and suing the fed-eral government for alleg-edly cutting in on his food-safety business.

Court papers say Haripromised his accomplices$18,000 for their participa-tion in the mosque attack.But the complaints in thecase do not portray him aswell off, citingan informantwho said Hari frequentlyhad to stay at his parents’home because he had norunning water or electric-ity.

Hari describes some ofhis political views in afederal lawsuit he filed justlast month against the De-partment of Agriculture inwhich he complains it was

cutting in on his food-safety certification busi-ness, Equicert.

“The People of theUnited States have rejectedthe Marxist doctrine thatthe government shall ownthe means of production,”hewrote.

He spoke to the ChicagoTribune last year for a storyon Illinois residents seek-ing contracts to help buildthe border wall withMexi-co championed by Presi-dent Donald Trump. Harisaid he had drafted a $10billion construction plan.

In addition to Hari, au-thorities charged Joe Mor-ris, 22, and MichaelMcWhorter, 29. All threemen live in Clarence, acommunity with a popula-tion of just a few dozenpeople encircled by farmfields.

During a reporter’s visitonWednesday, at least fourhomesdisplayedConfeder-ate flags — one flying highatop a flagpole in a frontyard.

It isn’t clearwhythementargeted a mosque in Min-nesota, though Al-Farooqhad been in the headlinesin recent years.

A group of young Min-nesota men who were con-victedof conspiring to trav-el to Syria to join theIslamic State Group hadfrequented the mosque. Ayoung woman and at leastone of the men who suc-cessfully got to Syria also

worshipped there. Mosqueleaderswerenever accusedof anywrongdoing.

Hari fled the U.S. in the2000s to live inMexico andthen the small SouthAmerican nation of Belize,taking his two teenagedaughterswithhimfor fearhis ex-wifewould gain cus-tody, according to mediareports of legal proceed-ings against him after hereturned to the U.S. in2006. He was convicted ofchild abduction and givenprobation.

The case put Hari ontelevision.

Dr. Phil McGraw of the“Dr.Phil” talkshowusedaninvestigator to help trackdown Hari in Belize,shortly before Hari re-turned to face charges ofabducting his kids.

He wrote a handful ofself-published books, in-cluding essays on religion.

The three men are alsosuspected in the attemptedbombing of an abortionclinic on Nov. 7 in Cham-paign, about 140 milessouth of Chicago, accord-ing to the U.S. attorney’soffice inSpringfield. In thatattack, a pipe bomb wasthrown inside but failed togo off.

A tip in December ledauthorities to investigatethe three men, after apersonsent the local sheriffphotos of guns and bomb-making material insideHari’s parents’ home.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Ifjurors in a federal trial inFloridabelievegovernmentprosecutors, thewife of themanwhocarriedout oneofthe U.S.’s biggest massshootings gave a “greenlight” to her husbandwhenhe wanted to execute histerrorist-inspired attack.

But if they accept NoorSalman’s attorney’s ac-count that she was a “de-voted mother” with an IQof 84 and was the victim ofOmar Mateen’s repeatedlies throughout their mar-riage, they coulddecide shehad no prior knowledge ofthe attack.

Salman went on trialWednesday in Orlando.The 31-year-old is accusedof aiding and abetting herhusband in his attack onthe Pulse nightclub in Juneof 2016. She’s also chargedwith obstruction of justice.If convicted, she faces lifein prison.

Prosecutors portrayed awoman who knewMateenwas buying rounds of am-munition for his AR-15,helped him spend thou-sands of dollars before theattack and knew about hisplanwhenhe left thehousein the hours before theshooting. They also say shelied, tried to mislead FBIagents and had knowledgeof her husband’s fascina-tionwith violent jihadi vid-eos and terrorism.

“Noneof the victims thatnight knew the horrificevents that would unfold.No one knew except fortwo people: Omar Mateenand hiswife,” AssistantU.S.Attorney James Mandolfosaid. “The defendant gaveOmar Mateen the greenlight to commit terrorismonbehalf of ISIS.”

In his hourlong openingstatement, Mandolfo gaveseveral examples ofSalman’s conflicting state-ments to FBI agents in thehours after the attack. Inone conversation with au-

thorities, before they in-formedher of any details ofthe attack, she said, “Myhusband is safewith guns.”

Said Mandolfo: “No oneever told her about guns.”

He described awifewhoknowingly went to at leasttwo locations with Mateento scout sites of potentialterrorist attacks. One wasCity Place, an open-airshopping center in WestPalmBeach. The otherwasDisney Springs, a crowdeddining and shopping areanear the famed themeparks,Mandolfo said.

“What would make peo-plemore upset, an attack ata club or an attack atDisney?” Mateen asked hiswife, according to Man-dolfo.

Salman also knew herhusband was fascinatedwith violent jihadi videos,even pulling their 3-year-old away from the screen,Mandolfo said.

The statements shemade to the FBI after theattack will be key to thetrial.

Salman’s attorney, LindaMoreno, argued in openingstatements that someof theclaims are contradicted bycellphone records andother evidence.

“She cooperated withthe FBI completely,” saidMoreno, adding that herclient never asked for alawyer and consented to ahome search. The FBI in

their hourslong question-ing manipulated and co-erced her,Moreno asserts.

“Noor Salman deniedany knowledge of OmarMateen’s plans for hours,”she said, adding that agentstold Salman that she couldgo to jail and not see herchild.

Her attorney said Ma-teen had a secret life thatinvolved meeting womenonline and cheating onSalman.MorenocalledMa-teen “misogynistic.” Ac-cording to court records,Mateen abused Salman, in-cluding when she waspregnant.

“The only sin was thatshe married a monster,”said Moreno, adding thatthe jury can honor thevictims of the attack byseeking the truth of herclient’s actions.

U.S. District Judge PaulG.Byronsaid the trial couldlast three weeks or more,after taking several days topick a jury of 12 with sixalternates. Potential jurorswere asked whether theycould be impartial in thewake of the Parkland, Fla.,school shooting andwhether they believe thewar on terror targets Mus-lims. They were alsoquizzed on whether theyknew survivors or victimsof a terrorist attack.

Mateen, who hadpledged allegiance to theIslamic State group, waskilledbypolice in thehoursafter the shooting. At thetimeof theattack, itwas theworst mass shooting inmodern U.S. history. It wassurpassed last October bythe fatal shooting of 58people in LasVegas.

Salman was arrested in2017 in California, whereshewasstayingwith family,and has been jailed sincethen.

The first witness for theprosecution calledWednesday was OrlandopoliceOfficerAdamGruler,who was working at Pulsein an off-duty capacity assecurity for the nightclub.

WASHINGTON — Re-cently released emails sug-gest that HUD SecretaryBen Carson and his wife,Candy, had a hand inchoosing a $31,000 diningset, despite claimsfrom the agencyand the secretarythat he didn’t playa role in makingthat selection.

Governmentwatchdog groupAmerican Over-sight obtainedinternal Depart-ment of Housingand Urban Developmentemails through a Freedomof Information request, andposted them publicly thisweek. Among a 163-pagecacheofemails isanAugustmessage sent to Carson’sexecutive assistant andchief of staff under thesubject line, “Secretary’sDining Room FurnitureNeeded.”

In the email, departmentstaffer Aida Rodriguez ref-erences “printouts of thefurniture the Secretary and

Mrs. Carson picked out.”Another email shows aHUD staffer reaching outto Carson’s wife to ask ifshe’s available tomeetwitha designer about redecorat-ing her husband’s office.

Rodriguez wrote in an-othermessage that the cost

of the dining set,which was esti-mated at $24,666— just under the$25,000 budgetlimit — was “avery reasonableprice and thefunds are avail-able.”

“We also have ajustification for

the cost (as you know, thefurniture hasn’t beenchanged since 1988) so thisshould not be a problem,”shewrote.

With delivery and instal-lation costs, the bill came to$31, 000.

The emails also showthat Carson wanted to usethe funds earmarked forfurniture to instead haveportraits painted of somepriorHUDsecretaries.

HUD has denied thatCarson knew about or

played any role in thedining set purchase, whichprompted outrage from thepublic and lawmakers. In astatement provided toCNN, Carsonwrote that hewasas“surprisedasanyoneto find out that a $31,000dining set had been or-dered.”

Following reports of thepurchase, Carson askedthat the order be canceled.

Two Democratic sena-tors urged the HUD Officeof Inspector General toopen an inquiry into thepurchase.

Carson earlier this yearasked the OIG to investi-gate whether his family’sinvolvement inagencymat-ters constitutes a conflict ofinterest.

In a statement Wednes-day, HUD spokesman RaffiWilliams said, “when pre-sentedwith options bypro-fessional staff, Mrs. Carsonparticipated in the selec-tion of specific styles.”

Last week, The Associ-atedPress reported that theDepartment of the Interiorspent $139,000 to repairdoors in Secretary RyanZinke’s office.

LONDON — RelationsbetweenBritain andRussiaplunged Wednesday to achilly level not seen sincethe Cold War as PrimeMinister Theresa May ex-pelled 23 diplomats, sev-ered high-level contactsand vowed both open andcovert action againstKremlinmeddling after thepoisoning of a former spy.

Russia said it would re-spond to what it calledBritain’s “crude” and “hos-tile” actions.

While May pledged todisrupt Russian espionageand “hostile state activity,”she gave few details abouthowhard Britainwould hitRussian politicians and oli-garchswhere it really hurts— in theirwallets.

“Expelling diplomats is akind of a standard re-sponse,” said NatashaKuhrt, a Russia expert atKing’s College London.“I’m not sure it’s going tomake Moscow stand upand think.”

May told the House ofCommons that 23 Russiansdiplomats who have beenidentified as undeclared in-telligence officers have aweek to leaveBritain.

“This will be the singlebiggest expulsion for over30 years,” May said, addingthat it would “fundamen-tally degrade Russian intel-ligence capability in theU.K. for years to come.”

MayspokeafterMoscowignored a midnight dead-line to explain how thenerve agent Novichok, de-veloped by the SovietUnion, was used againstSergei Skripal, an ex-Rus-sianagent convictedof spy-ing for Britain, and hisdaughter Yulia. They re-main incritical condition ina hospital in Salisbury,southwestern England, af-ter being found uncon-sciousMarch 4.

May said “there is noalternative conclusion

other than that the Russianstate was culpable for theattempted murder of Mr.Skripal andhis daughter.”

She announced a rangeof economic and diplo-matic measures, includingthe suspension of high-level contacts with Russia.An invitation for RussianForeign Minister SergeyLavrov to visit Britain hasbeen canceled, and Britishministers and royals won’tattend the soccer WorldCup inRussia this summer.

May also said Britainwould clamp down onmurky Russian money andstrengthen its powers toimpose sanctions on abus-ers of human rights.

“We will freeze Russianstate assets wherever wehave the evidence that theymaybeused to threaten thelife or property of U.K.nationals or residents,”May said, promising to useall legal powers againstcriminals and corruptelites, and to “increasechecks on private flights,customs and freight.”

“There is no place forthese people — or theirmoney — in our country,”she said.

May said some of themeasures “cannot beshared publicly for reasonsof national security.”

The Russian Embassy inLondon said the expulsionof diplomats was “totallyunacceptable, unjustifiedand shortsighted.” Ambas-

sador AlexanderYakovenko called Britain’sactions “a provocation.”

Russia did not announceretaliatory measures, butits Foreign Ministry said“our response will not belong in coming.”

Britain called an emer-gency meeting of the U.N.Security Council in NewYork at which U.K. andRussian diplomats tradedaccusations, with Britainblaming the Russian statefor the attack and Russiadenying responsibility.

Nikki Haley, the U.S.ambassador to the UnitedNations, said Wednesdaythat Russia must cooperatewith the British investiga-tion and “account for itsactions.”

Some Russia expertssaid the measures an-nounced by May were un-likely to make PresidentVladimir Putin’s govern-ment change its behavior.She didn’t expel Russia’sambassador or announcesanctions against any indi-viduals or companies.

Criticsof theBritishgov-ernment have long claimedthat the U.K. is reluctant toact against Russia becauseLondon’s property marketand financial sector aremagnets for billions inRus-sianmoney.

May’s office said Presi-dent Donald Trump toldthe prime minister the U.S.was “with the U.K. all theway.”

WASHINGTON — TheFBI office that handles em-ployee discipline has rec-ommended firing the bu-reau’s former deputy direc-tor over allegations that heauthorized the disclosureof sensitive information toa reporter and misled in-vestigators when askedabout it — though JusticeDepartment officials arestill reviewing the matterandhavenotcometoa finaldecision, a person familiarwith the case said.

The recommendationfrom the FBI’s Office ofProfessional Responsibilityis likely to add fuel to thepolitical fire surroundingformer deputy directorAn-drew McCabe, whosteppeddownfromhispostearlier this year but techni-cally remains an FBI em-ployee.

McCabe was hoping toretire Sunday, when hebecomes eligible for his fullbenefits, after a 22-yearcareer. If he is fired, hecould lose his retirementbenefits.

President DonaldTrump has long made Mc-Cabe a particular target ofhis ire, and the recom-mendation to fire the for-merNo. 2FBIofficial couldgive himnewammunition.

McCabe declined tocomment.

A Justice Departmentspokeswoman said in astatement: “The Depart-ment follows a prescribedprocess by which an em-ployee may be terminated.That process includes rec-ommendations fromcareeremployees and no termina-tion decision is final untilthe conclusionof thatproc-ess. We have no personnelannouncements at thistime.”

An FBI spokeswomandeclined to comment.

Justice Department In-spector General MichaelHorowitz has for sometime been working on areport that blasts McCabeforallowingtwohigh-rank-

ing bureau officials to sitdown with the Wall StreetJournal as the news outletprepared a story in 2016 onan investigation into Hilla-ry Clinton’s family founda-tion, then misleading theinspector general’s teamabout his actions.

A person familiar withthe matter said Horowitz’sfindings are what sparkedthe Office of ProfessionalResponsibility’s recom-mendation, whichwas firstreported by The New YorkTimes. Horowitz’s reporthas not yet been released.

McCabe, 49, had longbeen expected to retire onMarch 18, though heabruptly left his post earlierthis year after his boss, FBIDirectorChristopherWray,was told of what the in-spector general had found.

The situationnowseemsfraught for all involved.

If the Justice Depart-ment does not move on therecommendation, conser-vatives might view officialsthere as unfairly protectingMcCabe. Trump, who al-ready has a strained rela-tionship with Justice De-partment leaders, might beparticularly displeased.

But if the FBI fires Mc-Cabe with just days to gobefore his retirement, itcould be viewed as bendingto the will of a vindictivepresident.

Trump has previouslysuggested McCabe was bi-

ased in favor of Clinton,pointing out thatMcCabe’swife, who ran as a Democ-rat for a seat in the Virginialegislature, received hun-dreds of thousands of dol-lars in donations from thepolitical action committeeof Terry McAuliffe, theformergovernorofVirginiaand a noted Clinton ally.The president remarked inDecember that McCabewas “racing the clock toretirewith full benefits.”

The inspector generalhas since last January beeninvestigating the FBI andJustice Department’s han-dling of the politicallycharged probe into Clin-ton’s use of a private emailserverwhile shewas secre-tary of state, which is sepa-rate from the foundationprobe. McCabe representsbut a piece of thatwork.

Horowitz is alsoexamin-ing broad allegations ofmisconduct involving for-mer FBI Director JamesComey, including the pub-lic statement he made rec-ommending that the Clin-ton email case be closedwithout charges and hisdecision 11 days before theelection to reveal to Con-gress that the FBI hadresumed its work. McCabebriefly took over as theFBI’s acting director afterTrumpfiredComeyinMay.

provisional and militaryballots, a process that couldlast until at leastMarch 21.

Although one well-con-nected Republican charac-terized the private re-sponse by his party as a“freak-out,” party leaderspublicly did not questionwhether they had overesti-mated the effect of theissue that is almost certainto be the GOP’s biggestcalling card as it tries toretain control of CongressinNovember.

Speaking to reportersWednesday, HouseSpeaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.,played downLamb’s show-ing on the grounds that heran as a conservative De-mocrat.

Unmentioned by thespeaker: Lambcampaignedagainst the tax plan.

“We need to execute, weneedtogetourmessage,weneed to make sure that ourcandidates aren’tmassivelyout-raised and outspent onTVaswas thecasebetweenthese two candidates,”Ryan added.

Counting outside spend-ing, however, Republicansactually dumped more re-sources into the race, lead-ing some to blame Sacconerather than the difficultiesfacing the party.

“Campaigns and candi-dates matter,” said MattGorman, a spokesman forthe National RepublicanCongressional Committee,which works to elect GOPHousemembers.

“If you can’t get yourmessageout,”Gormansaid,“then you don’t have amessage.”

The election in the Pitts-burgh area, to replace aRepublican incumbentwho resigned in disgrace,was of limited utility; thedistrict has already beengutted in a redrawing ofcongressional lines by thestateSupremeCourt, so thewinner will have to runelsewhere inNovember.

But coming in the springof an election year thatalready appears to be a stiffclimb for Republicans, theraceofferedanother lookatthe political potency of anationally unpopular presi-

dentwhose presence in theWhite House has fannedunprecedented levels ofDemocratic enthusiasm.

Democrats already wereriding successful efforts atthe end of 2017 in a host ofVirginia races and the con-test for a U.S. Senate seat inAlabama.

Several Republicansfiercelydisputed thenotionthat Tuesday’s resultsshowed that there werelimits to the political im-pact of the tax cut plan.

Corry Bliss directed anoutside effort working onSaccone’s behalf that ranmultiple ads citing the taxcut plan and trying to linkLamb to DemocraticleaderNancy Pelosi of Cal-ifornia.

HesaidthatregardlessofTuesday’s results, he seesboth topics as beneficial toRepublican candidates.

The closing days of thePennsylvania campaign,however, showed evidenceof ambivalence. Sacconecontinued to talk abouttaxes; on Monday he andDonald Trump Jr. arrivedat a candy shop in thedistrict to tout fiscal ben-efits to the store and itsworkers as a result of thetaxmeasure.

During a Fox News ap-pearance Tuesday morn-ing, Saccone returned tothe topic.

“Every day it seems peo-ple are still coming up tome, telling me how it’sbenefiting them — singlemomsand small businessesthat are expanding,” hesaid.

But groups airing ads tobenefit Saccone steeredmany of their pitches ontomore visceral turf in theclosing weeks of the cam-paign, a sign that theyweresearching for more-potentmessages.

Typical was a NationalRepublican CongressionalCommittee ad that struckat Lamb’s tenure as anassistantU.S. attorney.

“LiberalConorLambcutmultiple plea deals and thegunrunners walked backon the streets,” the narratorintoned.

“They placed firearmsinto the hands of criminalsand Conor Lamb let them

run free.We just can’t trustConor Lamb to keep ourfamilies safe.”

Neither pre-electionpolls nor Tuesday’s resultsshowed the taxplan tohaveamagnetic hold on voters.

Murray noted that in aMonmouth poll publishedlast week — after respond-ents would have begunseeing the impact of the taxcut bill on their paychecks— only 23 percent ofAmericans surveyed ex-pected their taxes woulddrop as a result of the law.

But several people look-ing at the 2018 races sug-gested that many factorsweighed against the taxcuts developing enoughstrength to cut into theDemocratic advantage thisyear.

Trump is the election’sanimating force, for onething, overshadowing anyspecific issue and even thecandidates.

The president held aSaturday night rally inPennsylvania that was os-tensibly to boost Saccone,although the candidatewasonlyminimallymentioned.

Even before Trump’selection, the political envi-ronment had grown brac-ingly partisan; the antago-nism between the sides isbelieved by many to limitthe impact of any one issuein turning public opinionamong voters who sidewiththeirself-selectedpar-tisans.

Trump won in placessuch as Pennsylvania in2016 with a sharp messageplaying to voters’ anxietyabout being displaced inmodern-day America.Robert Jones, chief execu-tive of PRRI, which con-ducts regular polls on na-tional politics, said it wasnot clear that amoreprosa-ic message about tax sav-ings would have the sameheft.

“Something like an extra100 bucks in my tax return— I don’t think it’s going tostand up very well against‘The immigrants are com-ing for my job and ISIS iscoming for my children,’ ”he said. “Those messagesaremuchmore powerful.”

[email protected]

GOP U.S. House candidate Rick Saccone leaned heavily on the GOP tax cut in his raceagainst Democrat Conor Lamb. The issue, however, seemed lose traction with voters.

BEIJING — OrvilleSchell, a longtime Chinaexpert, has vivid memoriesof his first trip to thecountry back in 1975. MaoZedong was leading Chinathrough the tumultuousCultural Revolution, andChinese were beingshamed, beaten and evenkilled for perceived politi-calmistakes.

Things were vastly dif-ferent when he returnedfour years later. Mao wasdead, and the country waspulling itself togetherunder reformist DengXiaoping. So radical wasthe transformation thatsome Chinese felt embold-ened enough to plasterposters on a wall in centralBeijing criticizing past ex-cesses and advocating de-mocracy.

“China had suddenlygone frombeing this impla-cable enemy that wasclosed to any contact tobeing quite open and re-ceptive to interacting,” re-called Schell, now the di-rector of the Center onU.S.-China Relations at theNew York-based Asia Soci-ety.

ThatopeningandDeng’ssubsequent market-styleeconomic reforms fueledspeculation that China wasdestined to become a de-mocracy.

The rise of President XiJinping, who is now poisedto rule indefinitely afterChina’s rubber-stamp leg-islature voted Sunday toeliminate presidential termlimits, has changed all that,a growing number ofWest-ern analysts say.

“In the past, both sidespresumedChinawas tryingto become more demo-cratic,” Schell said. “WhatXi marks so clearly is thatthere is no longer the pre-tension that China is be-coming more democraticand open.”

Under Deng, the Com-munistPartybegantoallowsmall-scale free enterpriseand eased social controls.

To ensure the party’ssurvival, leaders embarkedon abold experiment in the1990s to create a formalsystemof succession.

Even that has beenswept aside under Xi, whois poised to rule for as longas hewants asChina’smostpowerful leader sinceMao.The move to scrap presi-dential limits revives thespecter of one-man rulethat Deng tried to ward offwhen he abolished lifetimetenure in 1982.

“The control of publicopinion in China right nowis much looser than it wasin Mao’s day, but it’s muchtighter than it was underDeng Xiaoping,” said Sid-ney Rittenberg, 96, one ofthe few Americans to havepersonally knownMao.

Still, he predicted Chinawouldneverreturntoearli-er periods of isolation, cit-ing the economy’s depend-ence on openness to theworld, Beijing’s rising glob-al status and greater aware-ness among Chinese citi-zens.

Even if today’s Chinaremains far removed fromthechaosofMao’s time, it islikewise distant from themassive student-led pro-tests of 1989, when thecountry had its closestbrushwitha shift togreaterdemocracy.

The demonstrations,centered on Beijing’s Tian-anmen Square, gave voiceto pent-up frustrationsabout corruption and astifling political system.Deng ordered a violentcrackdown that killed hun-dreds, and possibly thou-sands, of people.

But even after the crack-down, the party eased con-trols on travel and theeconomy began to pick upspeed. Reformists re-mained optimistic that po-litical liberalization might

follow.Hopes rose ahead of the

2008 Beijing SummerOlympics, cast by the partyas a coming-out for a confi-dent,modernChina.

“One of the things peo-ple hoped for in the run-upto the Olympics was thatthe exposure to the outsidewould help to convincemore Chinese people andlawmakers that the waythings are done outsideChina isn’t necessarilyscary or dangerous,” saidJeremiah Jenne, a writerand Chinese historyteacher inBeijing.

But the global financialcrisis that year promptedthe leadership to “rethinkthe extent to which Chinashould be open to theworld,” Jenne said.

Foreign advocates of de-mocracy had hoped theinternet, cellphones andother emerging technolo-gieswoulderodepartycon-trol. Instead, Chinese lead-ers invested heavily in de-veloping web filters andusing the internet and vi-deo surveillance networksto strengthen their abilityto keep tabs on the public.

Sinceassuming thepartyleadership in 2012, Xi hasoverseen a further dimin-ishment of civil society,jailing or otherwise silenc-ing writers, activists andhuman rights lawyers. On-line discussion of the elimi-nation of term limits hasbeenheavily censored.

Beijing has long arguedthat Western-style democ-racy is not appropriate forChina. It cites political andbureaucratic logjams inWashington as evidence ofthe superiority of itsMarx-ist-Leninist rule.

Many Western analystshave ceased envisioning ademocratic China.

“Weseenowthathistoryis not ineluctably movingtoward democracy,” saidSchell, theAmericanChinaexpert. “History is justmovingwhere itmoves.”

BAGRAM AIR BASE,Afghanistan — The Afghancapital is now the mainfocus of the anti-Talibanfight, with U.S. specialforces conducting raids inthe sprawling city and ad-ditional American militaryadvisers arriving to helpbeleaguered local police,the top U.S. commander inAfghanistan said Wednes-day.

“We’ve increased thenumber of special opera-tions we’re doing in andaroundthecity to target thenetworks that are attackingthe city,” Gen. John Nich-olson said in an interviewwith a small group of re-

porters. “So Kabul is ourmain effort right now.”

He said the Afghan gov-ernment has replaced thetop five police officials ineach district inside Kabulas part of a plan to moreeffectively counter themilitants.

“This leadership ele-ment is key because whatwefoundismanyfailuresatthe local level in terms oflocal security,” he said, not-ing that the Taliban inrecent months have man-aged to carry out largeattacks with high numbersof civilian casualties.

Nicholson said somemembers of a newly ar-

rived brigade of U.S. Armyadvisers are being assignedtomentoringAfghanpolicein Kabul as part of a com-prehensive plan for im-proving security in a city ofan estimated 5million resi-dents.

“I’ll just be very candid.We have a lot of work to dobecause this city has grownexponentially over the last15 years” and in a haphaz-ardway that left it vulnera-ble to movement by insur-gents as well as criminalgroups,Nicholson said.

In the interview, Nich-olson also talked up pro-spects for peace negotia-tionswith theTaliban.

U.S. focuses effort againstTaliban inside Afghan capital

Last April, UnitedAirlines obliteratedits customer service reputation by havinga passenger dragged off an overbookedflight atO’Hare. As part of itsmea culpa,here’swhatCEOOscarMunoz pledgedto flyers:Every customer deserves to betreatedwith the highest levels of serviceand the deepest sense of dignity and re-spect.

In the 11months since then,Unitedhas operated about 1.5million flights, andsurelymany of themmetMunoz’s stand-ard,while others fell short. Flying can bea stressful business— for passengers andemployees. Then cameMonday, aboard aUnited flight fromHouston toNewYork,inwhich a terrible decision by a flightattendant caused the death of a dog in apet carrier.

According to reports, a puppy ownertravelingwith an infant and older childstowed the carrier under the seat in frontof her, but apparently it didn’t fit. Theflight attendant’s solutionwas to instructthewoman to stow the pet carrier in theoverhead bin. The passenger protested,but the flight attendantwas adamant:The dogwill be fine, and your alternativeis to leave the flight.

On arrival, the passenger retrieved thecarrier to discover her 10-month-oldFrench bulldogwas dead. The distraughtpassenger collapsed to the floor, rockingback and forthwhile clutching the dog’sbody, TheNewYorkTimes reported.“She realized the dogwas dead rightthere and she just started crying,” anoth-er passenger said. “Then the daughterstarted crying, then a passenger, a strang-er, took the infant andheld the babywhile they cried right there in aisle 23.”

While there are details of this incident

to be investigated,United failed basic ten-ets of caring and common sense by order-ing the dog to be stowed in a compartmentwithout adequate ventilation. The airlinesaid it takes responsibility because “petsshould never be placed in the overheadbin.” Someobserversmay question thepassenger’s decision to acquiesce, buteverything about this situation put theonus on the employee.Herewas a pas-senger travelingwith children and a dogordered to complywith a safety-relatedinstruction or be forced to leave the plane.United allows travelers to bring small petsaboard for a $125 fee.

circulated above. The airline expressedcondolences and said itwas committed to“supporting” the family.

The larger issue for Chicago-basedUnited is how this decision violated thepledgeMunozmade last year to providegreat service and treat customerswithrespect and dignity. After the passengerdisaster atO’Hare, the airline rewrote itsoverbooking policies but also promised toempower employees to act in themomentto put customers first. On theHoustonflight, no one at the gate or onboardstepped up to protect this passenger andher dog.

United has a history of poor customer

service.Munozmadehis pledge after theoverbooking incident because the airline’sreputation hung in the balance.He under-stood the goodwill engendered bymillionsof great flights can be undone by one ortwohigh-profile debacles. “This is a turn-ing point for all of us atUnited and it sig-nals a culture shift toward becoming abetter,more customer-focused airline,”Munoz promised last April. “Our custom-ers should be at the center of everythingwedo and these changes are just the begin-ning of howwewill earn back their trust.”

Munoz is free to expoundonhis com-mitment to dignity and respect.Wary pas-sengers can choosewhether to believehim.

United’s bulldog blunder

United CEO Oscar Munoz vowed last year that the Chicago-based airline would do a better job of respecting its customers.

It’s impossible to knowwhether some-where in the gildedhalls of theKremlinthere’s a list of Vladimir Putin’s enemies,with names unchecked—and checked.It’s not hard to imaginewhichwould becheck-marked.

Opposition politicianBorisNemtsov,gunned downoutside theKremlin in2015. Investigative journalist OlgaPolitkovskaya, shot to death in aMoscowelevator in 2006 as she carried groceriesup to her apartment. Alexander Litvi-nenko, formerKGBagent and fierce Putincritic, poisoned to death in London in2006 after drinking tea lacedwith polo-nium.

Would Sergei Skripal’s namebe there,still unchecked? Skripal, 66, lies in aBritish hospital room in critical condition.So does his 33-year-old daughter, Yulia.Bothwere foundunconscious on a benchMarch 4 in the small city of Salisbury, notfar fromStonehenge. British authoritiessay the twowere poisonedwith a rarenerve agent,Novichok, a chemicalweap-on developed by the SovietUnion in the

1980s. At least 21 other peoplewere alsotreated for exposure in this episode.

British PrimeMinister TheresaMayhas blamed theRussian government forthe attack. Skripal is a formerRussianmilitary intelligence officer convicted inMoscow in 2006 of spying for Britain. In2010, Russian authorities released Skri-pal as part of a spy swap, and he andhisfamily settled in southernEngland.

We don’t know the depth ofwhateverevidence the primeminister has seen.Whatwedo know is that you can findassassinations onPage 1 of theKremlinplaybook.Methods run the gamut. Litvi-nenko’s deathwas the stuff of LeCarre,butKremlin enemies have been gunneddown, bombed, beaten to death and evenfelled by a ricin pellet fired fromanumbrella, aswas the case of a Bulgariandissident killed inLondon in 1978.

The attempt on Skripal’s life, however,has a disturbing plot twist. A nerve agentwas selected as themurderweapon,even though its dispersalwas likely to

harm innocent British citizens. IfMay isright about her assertion, the attackwas,in essence, a hostile nation’s use of achemicalweapon on aNATOcountry,and one of America’s strongest allies.

Before hewas shown the door byPresidentDonaldTrump, then-Secretaryof StateRexTillerson didn’tmincewords.“It appears that it clearly came fromRussia,” Tillerson said, adding, “It’s al-most beyond comprehension that a state,an organized state,would do somethinglike that.” In theTrumpWhiteHouse,where questions continue to swirl abouttheTrumpcampaign andRussianmed-dling in the presidential election, therewas condemnationwithout anymentionof Russia.

Tillerson, nowan ex-secretary of state,was right to be alarmed. It’s not just thatRussia appears to have used chemicalweapons inside the borders of aU.S. ally.If it happened there, it could happenhere.Russian dissidents and enemies of theKremlin have found refuge in theU.S.Theremay come a daywhen one of them

is strolling through a park, or down acrowded sidewalk, and the thirst forrevenge comes to anAmerican city.

ToPutin&Co., collateral damage is aminor detail. Considerwhat happened tothe Syrian city of Aleppo,whenRussianand Syrian airstrikes on rebel-held neigh-borhoods killed scores of civilians. Or the“rescue” of hostages held byChechenmilitants at aMoscow theater in 2002;Russian security forces used aerosolizedfentanyl to knock out themilitants, but indoing so, killed at least 116 hostages andhospitalized hundredsmore.

May’s initial response has been toexpel 23Russian diplomats from theU.K.who are believed to be involved in espio-nage activities. Another option she has:Slamoligarch allies of Putinwhohaveinvested billions in British real estate byapplying a new law that allows author-ities to seize assets obtainedwith ill-gottenwealth. As for theTrumpWhiteHouse, it needs to send its own forcefulmessage that such attackswon’t be toler-ated.

PERSPECTIVE

OP-ART JOE FOURNIER

DonaldTrump loves the ceremonialparts of his job, andhis trip toCali-fornia to inspect prototypes for a bor-derwallwas pure theater.He got toproject toughness, point to somethingtangible,make big promises and takecredit—without actually accomplish-ing anything.He’s not a president; he’sa performance artist.

Of all his campaign pledges, nonewasmore appealing to those at hisrallies than the borderwall, and nonewasmore harebrained. The idea ofcreating an impermeable vacuumsealon our southern perimeterwas ap-pealing to opponents of immigration(legal or not) and drug smuggling.ForcingMexico to pick up the tabmade it irresistible.

Nevermind that the idea had asmuch chance ofmaterializing as arainforest in the SonoranDesert. EvenTrumphas hedged: “Wedon’t need2,000 (miles).Weneed 1,000, becausewehave natural barriers.” But promis-ing a 1,000-milewallwith hundreds ofmiles of holesmight not have stoked

raucous cheers fromhis crowds.The costwould be enormous. An

internal report by theDepartment ofHomeland Security put the price at$21.6 billion. A study by theDemo-cratic staff of the SenateHomelandSecurity andGovernmental AffairsCommittee calculated it at $70 billion,not countingmaintenance.That’smorethan $200 for everyman,woman andchild in theU.S.— and zero dollars foreveryman,woman and child inMexi-co.

Thosewhowould bemost directlyaffected show the least enthusiasm.Rep.WillHurd, R-Texas,whose dis-trict includes 800miles of theMexi-can border, says “awall from sea toshining sea is themost expensive andleast effectiveway to do border securi-ty.” TheTexas BorderCoalition,madeup ofmayors and other officials fromthe area, calls it a “false promise.” Forhis Tuesday gala, Trumpwent to SanDiego,whoseCityCouncil passed aresolution opposing thewall—whichtheRepublicanmayor declined toveto.

Trump claimedhiswallwould be“99 percent” effective,which isenough tomake a lizard laugh. Thereis no reason to think endless slabs ofconcretewould stop illegal immigra-tion or drug smuggling.

TheCongressional Research Serv-

ice looked at the experience of the“primary fence” built in SanDiego andconcluded that it, “by itself, did nothave a discernible impact on the influxof unauthorized aliens coming acrossthe border in SanDiego.” Themainresult, theCRS found,was that “theflowof illegal immigration ... shifted tothemore remote areas of theArizonadesert.”

As for drugs, theCoastGuard says95 percent of themarrive in containerships or other boats. Traffickers havediscovered that the existing fencedoesn’t block underground tunnels, ofwhich theBorder Patrol has foundhundreds.

Migrants have also foundways thatdon’t involve dodging rattlesnakes.Two-thirds of the foreigners livinghere illegally didn’t sneak across theborder; they came on temporary visasand forgot to leave. “So unless thewallis 35,000 feet high, it’s not going to domuch to stop those overstaying thesevisas,” RobertWarren, a fellow at theCenter forMigration Studies, toldTheNewYorkTimes.

Itwould, however,wreak havoc.Some landownerswould be cut offfromaccess to someof their ownacreage, aswell aswater sources, andsee their properties decline in value.Theywould also have to gaze upon thewall, in its full Soviet-bloc ugliness,

every day.Then there are the environmental

harms. TheCenter for BiologicalDiversity reports that 93wildlifespecieswould be adversely affected.“Thismaywell lead to the extinctionof the jaguar, ocelot, cactus ferrugi-nous pygmyowl and other species intheUnited States,” it says.

All this assumesTrump’s visionwillcome to pass.Hoover Institution econ-omist JohnCochrane notes thatmuchof the barrierwould have to be erectedinCalifornia. That’s the same statewhere the governor and legislaturehave been pushing for a decade tobuild a high-speed train— “yet not onemile of the line yet exists.” By contrast,Cochrane notes, “it took theUnionPacific four years to build the trans-continental railroad fromSacramentotoUtah, over theDonner Pass, byhand.”

But it doesn’tmatter forTrump.Hiswall promise rests on the samebasis asa Ponzi scheme. It doesn’t have towork in the end. It just has toworklong enough to fleece the gullible.

She can’t let go.She can’t stop talking about

what happened. Shewrote anentire book about it. Now she’stelling people in other countriesaboutwhy she should havewon.In India lastweekend, she told anaudience that shewon in all thesmart, cool places and thenhit apandering low that puts a catalogof others to shame.

HillaryClinton just can’t quitherself. Not then.Not now.

In case youmissed it, shewonthe popular vote by nearly 3mil-lion votes but lost theElectoralCollege. Like it or not, our elector-al systemwas set up thisway—with both a popular vote and theElectoral College—ostensibly asa bulwark againstmob rule.

Americans hate or love theElectoral College, depending onwhether it benefits them.Andevery fewyears,wewant to scrapthewhole thing and let themajor-ity have itsway. Or, should I say,let demographics and birth ratesrule the day.

Irony,meanwhile, is one happyglutton these days.Donald

Trump’s unexpected victorymeant that the “mob,” as per-ceived byClinton supporters,mergedwith theElectoral Col-lege to pick a populist dema-gogue.

To say that amajority of thecountry awoke themorning afterElectionDay shellshocked andmute is to understate the effectnot somuchofClinton’s loss butof Trump’swin. As in,What?!Onmyblock in very-blueWashing-ton themorning after, threeneighbors simultaneously ven-tured outside to collect the news-paper orwalk the dog and stoodstaring at each other,wordlessly.Itwas as though the presidencyhad died.

But life does skip right along,doesn’t it? A triumphantTrumphasn’t slackenedhis pace as heshows one staffmember, ap-pointee orCabinetmember outanother door. RexTillerson, themost recent (but surely not thelast), was firedTuesday as secre-tary of state in the nick of a badnews cycle— apossibleRepubli-can loss in a Pennsylvania specialelection to fill a congressional seatand a lawsuit filed by an alleged

former lover (Windy, Snowyorsome such),whowas allegedlypaid not to tell.

No good seems to come tothosewho serve in this adminis-tration. CuePeter, Paul andMary:Where have all the soldiers gone?Long time passing.Where have allthe soldiers gone, long time ago?Gone to graveyards, everyone;Whenwill they ever learn?Whenwill they ever learn?The samesong could be sung aboutClinton,if only she could hear themusic.But then, shewas always a littletone-deaf.

In India lastweek on a privatetripwith her friend and loyaladviserHumaAbedin, Clintongave a few speeches as part of herongoing global book tour to pro-mote,wait for it, “WhatHap-pened.”

At least AlGore,who suffered asimilar fate,winning the popularvote in 2000but losing theElec-toral College toGeorgeW.Bush,went on only to growa beard andmake documentaries about theend of Earth. Clinton seems com-mitted to a personalGroundhogDay inwhich she adds no newtalents and feats of heroismbut

fresh targets to blame for herdestiny denied.

She has blamed former FBIDirector JamesComey, Russia,sexists, “deplorables” and, in aspeech inMumbai, racism. In oneof herworst-yet panders—quitea distinction if you rememberHillary’s 2007 speech in Selma,Ala.— she apparently noticed thedarker pigmentation of her Indi-an audience and adapted.

She started out by reiteratingher disdain for thosewho failedto recognize her virtues, sayingthat shewon in places “that areoptimistic, diverse, dynamic,moving forward,” comparedwithTrumpvoterswho are alwayslooking “backwards.” Then,mockingly, talking to “those peo-ple”who voted for him, she con-tinued, “You knowyoudidn’t likeblack people getting rights, youdon’t likewomen, you know,getting jobs, you don’twant to,you know, see Indian-Americanssucceedingmore than you are.”

Yikes. So, the peoplewho votedforTrump resent Indian-Ameri-cans’ success? Funny, becausesurely her audiencewas awarethat President Trump selected

Indian-AmericanNikkiHaley asambassador to theUnitedNa-tions. And it’s a good bet theyknew thatHaley previously hadbeen serving her second termasgovernor of SouthCarolina,where shewas the firstwomanand ethnicminority to be electedgovernor in the history of thestate.

Such a lack of awareness, com-binedwithClinton’s clear disdainformillions of Americanswhomshewould have served as presi-dent, confirms that she shouldn’thavewon after all. By her insinua-tions, she has demonstrated aloathsomeprejudice against thepoorly educated andunemployedaswell as ruralwhites, socialconservatives andwomenwhostay homewith their children—to name a few.

What happened, you ask?That.

Hillary, stop. Please.By Kathleen Parker

In “ProfessorDowell’sHead,” a 1925 science fictionnovel byAlexanderBelyayevthatwas amust-readwhen Iwas a kid, a dying scientistbequeaths his body to a col-leaguewho then revives justthe heart and the head. In thisform, the professor lives on buthates it. The life of Britishphysicist StephenHawking,whodiedWednesday, had beenalmost like fictionalDowell’ssince the 1980s, andhe cher-ished it.

Hawking’s scientificachievements are too obscureformost people, even thoughhewas outstanding at popular-izing hiswork. “ABriefHistoryof Time,” hiswork on cosmol-ogy that sold 10million copies,has been described as “themost popular book never read.”

Most of thosewhohelpedcrash thewebsite onwhichHawking’s 1966Ph.D. thesis,“Properties of ExpandingUni-verses,”was published last yearprobably couldn’t get throughthemanuscript. The originsand size of the universe and theinnerworkings of time areesotericmatters, and to get atHawking’s bird’s-eye viewonewould need to be quite a high-flying bird. “The subject of thisbook is the structure of space-time on length-scales from

10^-13 cm, the radius of anelementary particle, up to 10^28cm, the radius of the universe,”amonographHawking co-wrotewithmathematicianGeorge F.R. Ellis in 1973 statesboldly onPage 2.

So for an overwhelmingmajority of people,Hawking’sreal value has been in provingthat a powerful brain doesn’treally need a functioning bodyto survive, thrive and evenhavefun.Hawking arguably didmore for the ascendance ofnerd culture thanBill Gatesand Steve Jobs put together.Theywere visionary and attimes eccentric, butHawkinghas beenmore than that: dis-embodied, a living challenge tothe laws of nature hewanted tobring into a single “theory of

everything.” That’swhy SiliconValleyCEOs grieve his death.And the space entrepreneurs—ElonMusk, Jeff Bezos, RichardBranson—havemerely beenfollowing hismost famousadvice: “Look up at the starsandnot down at your feet.”

“Strange,when I lived, itseemed tome that I only livedby thework of thought,”Dow-ell’s head said inBelyayev’snovel. “I really didn’t quitenoticemybody, Iwas so ab-sorbed in scientificwork. Andonlywhen I lostmy body did Ifeelwhat Iwasmissing.” Itcontinues, “Oh, I’d gladly giveupmy chimeric existence forthe joy of hefting a simplecobblestone inmyhand!”

Hawkingmust have gonethrough similar suffering after

being diagnosedwith amyo-trophic lateral sclerosis (ALS,or LouGehrig’s disease) but,uninterested in posing as atragic figure, he remained bothcheerful and pragmatic. “Myadvice to other disabled peoplewould be, concentrate onthings your disability doesn’tprevent you doingwell, anddon’t regret the things it inter-fereswith,” he said. “Don’t bedisabled in spirit aswell asphysically.”

HadHawking not lived thisadvicewithwhat looked likesupernatural ease,many of hisquoteswould read like theinspirational garbage one oftenfinds on the social networks.He didn’t need religion or anyother spiritual crutches tosustain him—perhaps as big acontribution as any tomillenni-als’ increasingly frequent athe-ism.Hawkingmerely appearedto enjoywhat he did, includingmaking scary predictions aboutan end of theworld broughtabout by amok artificial intelli-gence or climate change.

He enjoyed the headlinesand the celebrity that had littleto dowith his research andeverything to dowith his flaw-less demonstration that an agileintellect didn’t need arms, legsor even aworking voice. Thesoftware that allowedHawkingto speak is available to anyoneunder an open license, a re-

minder that the humanbodycan fail but that doesn’t have tobring down themind it houses.

Hawkingwasn’t exactly acyborg: Thoughhe lived ex-traordinarily long for someonewith his condition, he didn’tlive long enough to get artificial“spare parts” or have his braintransferred to a computer so itcould live on in a robot body.Hawking thought itwould bepossible someday.

“I think the brain is like aprogram in themind,which islike a computer, so it’s theoreti-cally possible to copy the brainon to a computer and so pro-vide a formof life after death,”he said in 2013.

As in everything else he saidanddid,Hawkingwasn’tweighted downby the present,just as hewasminimally con-strained by his paralyzed phys-ical shell. This nonchalanceabout living outside an uncom-fortable frame andHawking’senormous courage in facingboth death and the futurewilllive on, even if his cosmologicaltheories remain unproved orendup rejected.

ThenationwaitsJust as our children prepared

Thesechildren recognize that readilyavailable assaultweapons, includ-ing bump stocks, add to the fearthey have of going to classes everyday.

Are they comforted that theirpresidentwants “highly trainedexpert teachers”whowill beallowed to conceal carry to pro-tect them?Do theywonderwhyour governor is not rushing tosign a bill thatwould requireIllinois gun retailers to get statelicenses?

While the nationwaits forsensible solutions to be imple-

In themeantime, here’s a solu-tion:When students return fromspring break, let’s have bullet-proof vests andhelmets for pur-chase in sizes for preschool andup, aswell as for teachers.Maybethen the kidswill be a little lessanxious to go to school.

Adifficult taskI verymuch enjoyed theMarch

14 op-ed “Dowe reallywant toturn our teachers intowarriors?”Iwas inVietnam in1965 as amember ofHCompany, 2ndBattalion, 7thMarines, 1stMarineDivision. Iwaswounded inOper-ationUtah inMarch1966. I saw a

lot of combat in the10months Iwas over there, and I feel fortu-nate to still be around.

Paul Barker is very right aboutthe implications of asking ordi-nary citizens to engage and elimi-nate other people. I trained fortwo years beforewe actuallylanded inQuiNhon, Vietnam, inMay1965. It is just not an easything to do, to eliminate the ene-my. But themore training, thebetter one becomes. True, schoolsare soft targets, but almost everyplace is.

I earned a PurpleHeart formyservice. Areweprepared to awardthem to schoolteachers too?

—JimNor, Richmond

Teacher trainingI readwith interest Paul Bark-

er’s op-ed asking, “Dowe reallywant to turn our teachers intowarriors?” Barker has it allwrong.No one, PresidentDonaldTrump included, has suggestedthat teacher training for the com-petent and safe use of a firearmwould bemandatory or foisted

upon any teacherwhowouldchoose not to undertake suchtraining.

I amone of the owners ofOn-Target Range&Tactical TrainingCenter inCrystal Lake. Tuesday,we announcedwewould be offer-ing complimentary concealedcarry training for teachers andschool personnel. The responsehas been a tsunami of teacherscalling and registering for ourclasses— at last count,more than75. As ourTrainingCoordinatorreported tomeWednesdaymorn-ing, the lines are “burning up.”Roughly a third of those regis-tering arewomen. These areteachers and school employeeswho are ready,willing and eagerto accept the responsibility ofpossessing a firearm for the pro-tection of their students.

We are glad to be taking thatfirst step to jump-start thismove-ment.We invite other ranges tofollow suit. If, as I predict, thou-sands of teachers step forward, itwill send a strongmessage to ourlegislature that therewill besome, if notmany, teacherswill-

ing to accept the responsibility ofoffering protection for our chil-dren in every school building inthis state.

Cruel and coldI read your editorial “After

Rauner’s veto of gun sellers bill,what comes next?”Youwrotethat “more than 20Democrats intheHouse and Senate didn’tsupport the bill alongwithmorethan 50Republicans.” Then youasked, “Were they also cruel andcold, lackingmoral convictionand cowardly?”

I answer thatwith a big, “Yes!”If you read your newspaper

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

It is too easy to convict aninnocent person.

The rate ofwrongful convic-tions in theUnited States is esti-mated to be somewhere between2 percent and 10 percent. Thatmay sound low, butwhen appliedto an estimated prison populationof 2.3million, the numbers be-come staggering. Can there reallybe 46,000 to 230,000 innocentpeople locked away?Those of uswho are involved in exonerationwork firmly believe so.

Millions of defendants areprocessed through our courtseach year. It’s nearly impossible todetermine howmany of themareactually innocent once they’vebeen convicted. There are fewresources for examining the casesand backgrounds of those claim-ing to bewrongfully convicted.

Once an innocent person isconvicted, it is next to impossibleto get the individual out of prison.Over the past 25 years, the Inno-cence Project,where I serve onthe board of directors, has se-cured throughDNA testing therelease of 349 innocentmen andwomen, 20 ofwhomhad beensent to death row.All told, therehave beenmore than 2,000 exon-erations, including 200 fromdeath row, in theU.S. during thatsameperiod. Butwe’ve onlyscratched the surface.

The listWrongful convictions happen

for several reasons. In no particu-lar order, these causes are:

Bad police work.Most cops arehonest, hard-working profession-als. But somehave been known tohide, alter or fabricate evidence;lie on the stand; cut deals in re-turn for bogus testimony; intimi-date and threatenwitnesses;coerce confessions; ormanipulateeyewitness identifications.

Prosecutorial misconduct.Most prosecutors are also honest,hard-working professionals. Butsomehave been known to hideexculpatory evidence; encouragewitnesses to commit perjury; lieto jurors, judges anddefenselawyers; use the testimony ofbogus experts; or ignore relevantevidence beneficial to the ac-cused.

False confessions.Most jurorsfind it impossible to believe that asuspectwould confess to a seri-ous crimehe didn’t commit. Yetthe average citizen, if taken to abasement roomand subjected to10 consecutive hours of abusiveinterrogation tactics by experi-enced cops,might be surprised atwhat theywould say. Of the 330peoplewhowere exonerated byDNAevidence between 1989 to2015, about 25 percent gave bogusconfessions after lengthy interro-

gations. Almost every one re-canted soon after.

Faulty eyewitness identifica-tion.More often than not, thosewhowitness violent acts havetrouble accurately recalling thefacts and identifying those in-volved. Physical and photo line-upsmay exacerbate the problembecause policemanipulate themto focus suspicion on favoredsuspects.

Jailhouse snitches. In every jailthere is a career criminal staringat a long sentence. For leniency,he can be persuaded to lie to thejury and describe in great detailthe confession overheard fromthe accused, usually a cellmate. Ifhe performswell enough on thestand, the authoritiesmight allowhim towalk free.

Bad lawyering.Those accused ofserious crimes rarely havemoney.Many are represented by goodpublic defenders, but toomanyget stuckwith court-appointedlawyerswith little or no experi-ence. Capital cases are complex,and the stakes are enormous. Alltoo often, the defense lawyers arein over their heads.

Sleeping judges. Judges aresupposed to be impartial referees

intent on ensuring fair trials.They should exclude confessionsthat are inconsistentwith thephysical evidence and obtainedby questionablemeans; excludethe testimony of career felonswith dubiousmotives; requireprosecutors to produce exculpa-tory evidence; and question thecredentials and testimony of allexperts outside the presence ofthe jury. Unfortunately, judges donot always dowhat they should.The reasons aremany and varied,but the fact thatmany judges areelected doesn’t help. They areconscious of their upcomingre-election campaigns andhowthe decisions theymakemightaffect the results. Of those judgeswho are appointed rather thanelected, themajority are formerprosecutors.

Junk science.Over the past fivedecades, our courtroomshavebeen floodedwith an avalanche ofunreliable, even atrocious “scien-ce.” Expertswith qualificationsthatwere dubious at best andfraudulent atworst have peddled— for a fee, of course—allman-ner of damning theories based ontheir allegedly scientific analysisof hair, fibers, bitemarks, arson,boot prints, blood spatters andballistics. Of the 330 people exon-erated byDNA tests between

Together they tag-teamed theirway through rape andmurdertrials inMississippi andLouisi-ana, accumulating an impressivestring of convictions, several ofwhich have been overturned.Some are still being litigated.Many others, however, seemdestined to stand.

It’s amaddening indictment ofAmerica’s broken criminal justicesystem, inwhich prosecutorsallowed—even encouraged—flawed forensic testimony be-cause itwasmolded to fit theirtheories of guilt. Over twodec-ades, elected judges permittedthese twoprofessional testifiersto convince unsophisticatedjurors that sciencewas on theside of the state.

The atrocities that occurred inMississippi andLouisiana aren’tspecific to one time andplace.Themedical examiners, policeofficers, prosecutors, judges andotherswhohold sway over ourcriminal justice systemaroundthe country have largely failed todeliver justice.Wemust do better.

JohnGrisham is awriter bestknown for his legal thrillers. Thispiecewas adapted from the fore-word of “TheCadaverKing andtheCountryDentist.”

It took four years for Joanne Guthrie-Gard to find the right seizuremedication for her daughter, whose epilepsy, during the worst of it,caused her to have 20 seizures aweek.

That medication started to have bad side effects — dizzy spells,slurred speech, unsteadiness —when Erin Gard reached high school,but she was able to switch to an extended-release form that proved agood substitute.

The family’s insurance plan covered the newdrug.Until it didn’t.

About four months in, Gardwas told to go back to the originaldrug or pay out of pocket for theextended-release version, whichat the time cost about $10,000 fora three-month period.

That’s a practice known asnonmedical switching — whenan insurance company changescoverage in the middle of a planyear, even though most plan

participants are locked in.“Tohave someonecome inand

say, ‘We’re not covering that drugnow,’ it’s devastating,” saidGuthrie-Gard, who lives in thenorthwest suburb Lake in theHills.

Illinois lawmakers are consid-ering a bill that would guardagainst those types of abruptcoverage changes, which are

typically driven by efforts to cutcosts.

The proposed bill would pro-hibit commercial health insurersfrom modifying coverage of adrug during the plan year if it haspreviously approved the drug for

amedical condition. It would notprevent plans from requiringpharmacists to give generic sub-stitutions or from adding newdrugs for coverage. It does not

Pets on planes are signifi-cantly outnumbered by humanpassengers. But for airlines,dealing with passengers’ four-legged traveling companionscan be fraughtwith problems.

Within the past year, Chi-cago-basedUnitedAirlines hasfound itself in the spotlightwhen a giant rabbit namedSimon died aboard a trans-Atlantic flight and when theairline denied a seat to anemotional support peacocknamedDexter.

Just this week, the airlinesaid it would “assume fullresponsibility” for the death ofa 10-month-old French bull-dog that appeared to havesuffocatedMonday after it wasplaced inside an overheadcompartment on a three-hourflight. On Tuesday, United re-portedly sent a Kansas City,Mo.-bound German shepherdto Japan bymistake.

Travel industry experts sayconsumers increasingly wantto be able to bring their pets ontheir travels. That leaves air-lines balancing the desire tocater to those flyers’ wisheswith the challenges of safelytransportinganimals—and therisk of courting fierce backlashif things gowrong.

The U.S. Department ofTransportation doesn’t trackthe number of animals pas-sengers carry on board withthem or incidents involvinganimals in the cabin with theirowners.

But United has been carry-ing a growing share of petstransported in thecargohold—138,178 in 2017, up about 42percent since 2015 and ac-counting for about 27 percentof all animals U.S. airlinestransported last year, accord-ing to the Transportation De-partment.

Over the same two-year pe-riod, the overall number ofanimals airlines transportedfell 5 percent, while the num-ber flownbyAmericanAirlinesandDeltaAirLinesdeclined63percent and41percent, respec-tively.

United also reported anabove-average number of ani-mals that were injured, died orlost while in its custody. In

NEW YORK — ElizabethHolmes, a Stanford Universitydropout once billed as the “nextSteve Jobs,” has forfeited controlof Theranos, the blood testingstartup she founded, and will pay$500,000 to settle charges thatshe oversaw a “massive fraud.”

Under an agreement with theSecurities and Exchange Com-mission onWednesday, Holmes isbarred from serving as an officerordirectorofapubliccompanyfor10 years. The SEC said it willpursue its case against the presi-

dent of the company, Ramesh“Sunny” Balwani, in federal dis-trict court in theNorthernDistrictof California.

The settlement comes twoyearsafter theSEC,promptedbyaWall Street Journal investigation,began looking into claims atTher-anos that it had developed poten-tially revolutionary blood-testingtechnology.

The Journal story, whichquoted former employees whosuspected the technology was afraud, raised concerns about theaccuracy of Theranos’ testingtechnology, which put patients atrisk of having conditions either

misdiagnosed or ignored.Holmes, 34, founded Theranos

in Palo Alto, Calif., in 2003, pitch-ing the company’s technology as acheaper way to run dozens ofblood tests. Once considered thenation’s youngest female billion-aire, Holmes said shewas inspiredtostart thecompany inresponse toher fear of needles.

Theranos raised millions instartup funding by promoting itstests as costing a “fraction” ofwhat other labs charge.

At the center of Theranos’mystique was its “Edison” mach-ine, which the company claimedcould test for a variety of diseases

through only a few drops of bloodfromaperson’s finger. Despite thehype and company claims, Ther-anos shared fewdetails on how itsEdison machine — named afterthe inventor—worked.

Holmes also has agreed toreturn 18.9million shares ofTher-anos that she obtained during thefraud. If the company is sold orliquidated, Holmes will not profitfrom any remaining ownership inthe company until at least $750million in proceeds are returnedto investors, the SEC said.

Theranos said neither the firmnor Holmes admitted or deniedwrongdoing.

Elizabeth Holmes, once billed asthe “next Steve Jobs,” did notadmit or deny wrongdoing.

apply to Medicaid or otherpublic insurance.

The goal is to end whatadvocates say has become agrowing practice of makingmidyear coverage adjust-ments to encourage peopleto switch to lower-costmedicines. Sometimes theplan removes coverage of adrug altogether, though itmight also switch it to adifferent coverage tier thatrequires higher out-of-pocket costs, or add priorauthorization require-ments.

Illinois’ bill, which wasmodeled after legislation inother states, last week pas-sed out of the House RulesCommittee and now awaitsa hearing in the HouseInsurance: Health and LifeCommittee. It has morethan 50 co-sponsors.

The PharmaceuticalCare Management Associ-ation, which representspharmacy benefit man-agers, opposes the bill andothers like it.

“This bill would under-mine patient safety andforceemployers,unionsandothers that provide phar-macy benefits to cover ex-pensive brand drugs, evenwhen more affordable,equally effective competingbrand drugs or new over-the-counter options be-come available,” associationPresident and CEO MarkMerritt said in an emailedstatement.

“It would prohibit healthplans from upgrading pre-scription drug lists evenwhen safer, more affordablealternatives come to mar-ket,” he said. “Similar legis-

lation in other states hasfailed largely because it wasviewed as a giveaway todrug companies that wouldraise costs at the expense ofconsumers.”

A handful of states, in-cluding Louisiana andTexas, have laws or protec-tions limiting midyear drugchanges. Bills were intro-duced in nine states lastyear but have not passed.

Blue Cross and BlueShield of Illinois spokes-woman Colleen Miller de-clined to comment on pro-posed legislation, but said“it’s important to rememberthere are current optionsfor people who want toappeal or request exemp-tions regarding their phar-macy benefits."

Illinois legislators ap-proved a similar law lastyear that went into effectJan. 1. It says patients whoare stable on a drug will beexempt fromso-called step-therapy requirements,which is when insurersrequire them to try morecost-effective drugs beforeapproving the costlier ones.

Rep. Laura Fine, D-Glen-view, chief sponsor of thenew bill, said the two bills"go hand in hand but theysolve slightly differentproblems."

The issue is personal forFine. She said her husbandwas startled when he wentto the pharmacy to pick upmedication he'd been tak-ing for years and found theprice had skyrocketed be-cause it suddenly was nolonger covered.

Hewas able to get anoth-er covered drug thatworked, but Fine, who ischairwoman of the House

insurance committee, saidshehasheardsimilar storiesfrom other people whowere not so fortunate.

“People might pick theirplan based on the medica-tions that are covered,” Finesaid. “Then it changes andthey can no longer affordtheirmedication."

Guthrie-Gard could notafford her daughter's newepilepsy drug out of pocket.So Gard went back to theoriginal drug and the sideeffects returned, causingher to miss hours of schooland putting her at risk offalling down.

“There was a huge safetyissue, to the point that Ididn’t want to send her toschool,” Guthrie-Gard said.

Guthrie-Gard, an execu-tive assistant who had pri-vate insurance through herthen-employer, appealedthe coverage decision andafter a few months herdaughter's extended-re-lease drug was coveredagain. But for 10 years shehas lived with the worrythat it could be yankedagain, and hopes that theproposed legislation wouldgive families like hers peaceofmind.

Gard, now 26, still takesthe samemedication—plusfive others — to control herepilepsy, her mom said. Shehas been seizure-free formore than a year.

Case managers at theEpilepsy Foundation ofGreater Chicago handle pa-tient concerns about mid-year drug coverage changeson a daily basis, said Presi-dentandCEOBryanAnder-son. It is often difficult forpeople to find the rightdrugs to control their seiz-

ures, and being switched toa different drug might notonly set them back butmake their symptomsworse, he said.

The Epilepsy Foundationjoined more than a dozenstate and national patientand provider organizationsto formthe IllinoisFairCareCoalition to lobby for thebillto ensure stable drug cov-erage for the plan year. Thegroups include those thatadvocate about diabetes,arthritis, cancer and lupus.

Keeping stable patientson medications they knowwork saves money in theend, Fine said.

One study found thatpeople with rheumatoidarthritis who switcheddrugs for nonmedical rea-sons had 42 percent moreemergency room visits oversix months than peoplewhodidn’t switch.

An analysis by the Insti-tute for Patient Access,which supports limits onnonmedical switching,found that people with var-ied conditions — includingchronic pain, Crohn’s dis-ease and multiple sclerosis— spent more on nondrughealth care during the yearafter switching to a lower-cost drug than people whodidn’t switch. That studywas conducted by consult-ants to drugmakerAbbott.

Failure to adhere to treat-mentregimens—whichcanhappen if people can't af-ford their medicine — coststhe health care system $100billion a year, according to afact sheet compiled by theU.S. Pain Foundation.

2017, 1.3 out of every 10,000animals the carrier trans-ported in cargo holds died,according to the Trans-portation Department,compared with 0.47 out ofevery 10,000 across all air-lines that reported data.

United spokesmanCharles Hobart said theairline is “liberal” in what itconsiders an injury. Theoverwhelming majority ofdeaths were due to previ-ously unknown medicalconditions or involved ani-mals that weren’t accli-mated to their crates, Ho-bart said.

“Anytime there’s an inci-dent, injury or an animalpasses in our care, we do athorough review … and weuse that information thatwe’ve discovered to helpensure that it doesn’t hap-pen again,” he said.

United apologized againWednesday for the puppy’sdeath in the overhead binon a Houston to New YorkCity flight.

The passenger told theflight attendant there was adog in the carrier, but theflight attendant “did nothear or understand her,”United spokeswomanMag-gie Schmerin said in anemail.

“We take full responsibil-ity and are deeply sorry forthis tragic accident,”Schmerin said. “We remainin contactwith the family toexpress our condolencesand offer support.”

United said it would be-gin issuing brightly coloredbag tags to customers trav-eling with pets in the cabinby April to help flight at-tendants identify bags hold-ing pets.

Airlines have put restric-

tions on pet travel, particu-larly during extreme tem-peratures or for dog and catbreeds susceptible tobreathing issues, but rulesvary by airline.

Some, like JetBlue Air-ways and Southwest Air-lines, only transport petsthat passengers can bring inthe cabin.

American will not letpassengerscheckapet if theground temperature is be-low 45 degrees or above 85degrees at any location onthe itinerary. It alsodoesnotallow snub-nosed dogs,such as Boston terriers andbulldogs, to be checked;those breeds are thought tobe vulnerable to breathingproblems.

The list of adult dogbreeds United Airlines doesnot allow to be checked isshorter: It includes just fivetypes of bulldogs. TheFrench bulldog that diedMonday would not havebeen allowed to fly in thecargo hold, the airline said.

Other breeds, such asadult Boston terriers,American bulldogs or pugs,can’t fly in United’s cargoholds between May 15 andSept. 15.

Other breeds must havecertain crates or may onlybe accepted up to a certainweight. United’s policy alsotouches on adult chickens,piglets, sugar gliders, pri-mates and certain giant rab-bits.

“We have decided it is inour customers’ best intereststo have the option to fly petswith us,” Hobart said. “Theycan fly in the cabin if theanimal is the right size, but ifthe animal doesn’tmeet thatcriteria, we provide anotheroption. And the overwhelm-ing majority of those ani-mals travelwith no issues.”

Airlines generally avoidmarketing themselves asthe preferred carrier for petfamilies, said HenryHarteveldt, travel industryanalyst and president ofAtmosphere ResearchGroup. It’s a “no-win situa-tion” due to the liability andnegative publicity whenthingsgowrongandthe factthat pet-free travelers, espe-cially those with allergies,aren’t always enthusiasticabout sharing the cabinwith pets,Harteveldt said.

But airlines also don’twant to turn away potentialcustomers who want tobring Fido on the familyvacation.

Animals have traveled onairplanes for nearly a cen-tury, according to the tradeorganization InternationalAir Transport Association.But the way people thinkabout those furry travelershas changed. They’re notjust animals, they’re familymembers, and experts saymore people are travelingwith pets.

Susan Smith, the ownerof Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.-based Pet Travel, said sheanswers nearly 100 ques-tions a day about travelingwith or transporting pets.And the questions aren’tjust about domestic flights.

“China to Turkey, SouthAfrica to London,” she said.“We’re a mobile world, andpeople want to bring theirpetswith them.”

Baby boomers are trav-eling with their pets, as aremillennials, who havewaited longer to have kidsthan previous generationsand bought pets instead,Smith said. Additionally,there’s been an influx ofpeople traveling with emo-tional support and serviceanimals, which fly in the

cabin for free.On United, passengers

who can’t bring a pet in thecabin can use the airline’sPetSafe program. Custom-ers receive information onpreparing theanimal for thetrip, such as familiarizingthe pet with its kennel anddriving the pet through acar wash while in the ken-nel, which approximateswhat it might experience ina plane’s cargo hold,Hobartsaid.

Animals are taken fromtheairport to theairplane inclimate-controlled vehicles,and they are last to beloaded in thecargoholdandfirst to be removed, he said.

It’s not cheap to imple-ment those accommoda-tions for pets, Smith said,and pet owners tend to beloyal to airlines that treattheir petswell.

“If pet owners have agood experience with com-panies that provide servicesfor pets, they tell people.They’re very, very loyal andtheyalwayscomeback,” shesaid. “Inthisdayandage, it’sall about service, becausecompetition has made itthatway.”

Still, many airlines arestill struggling to keep theirpoliciesup todatewithhowpeople feel about their pets,said Kelsey Eberly, a staffattorney at the Animal De-fense Fund. No one viewsanimals like pieces of bag-gage anymore, she said.

“So often our laws andeven corporate policies arestuck in thepast andcontin-ue to treat them like a chair,like a bag,” Eberly said.“Really, their value is somuch greater.”

The city last year ap-proved zoning changes ina 760-acre stretch alongthe river that for genera-tions has been dominatedby industrial uses. Newlanduse rules are ex-pected to throwopen thedoors to about 18millionsquare feet of high-rises,with uses including resi-dential and office spacenear the proposed park,Wilson estimated.

Including projectsplanned south of theLoop, the city could add150,000new residentsalong theNorth andSouth branches of theriver over the next dec-ade,Wilson said.

The coalition arguesthat,without careful cityplanning, the alreadydensely populatedNorthSide neighborhoods alongthe riverwill be dramati-cally underservedwithpark space asmanufactur-ing properties are rede-veloped.

“I’ve shown this plan tothemayor, and he has saidhe’s intrigued,” Smithsaid. “Hehasn’t said no.”

Yet themayor’s office,in a statement to theTribune, said a frame-work plan for the areathat cameout ofmorethan twodozen commu-nitymeetings held by 2ndWardAld. BrianHopkinsalready outlines 60 acresof open space. “The alder-men’s proposal is at oddswith the outcomeof thatprocess,” the statementsaid.

“MayorEmanuel andtheDepartment of Plan-ning andDevelopmentagree that substantialpublic open space is es-sential to theNorthBranch’s coordinatedtransition to a dynamic,mixed-use business envi-ronment that is reshapingurbanwaterfronts acrossthe country,” the state-ment added.

Initial plans call for thepark to include sportsfields, nature preserve,riverfrontwalking andbiking trails, playgroundsand open land, amongother uses.

The proposed 24-acreparkwould be along thesoutheast edge of thelargest plan to emerge inthe 3.7-mile-long formerindustrial corridor: Ster-ling Bay’s LincolnYardsproject. TheChicagodeveloper plans to investasmuch as $10 billionbuilding residential andoffice towers, a 20,000-seat sports and entertain-ment stadiumwith aretractable roof and otherbuildings.

LincolnYards is one of10Chicago-area sitesproposed forHQ2,Ama-zon’s planned secondheadquarters.

It’s unclear exactly howmuch itwould cost thecity to create the park, orhow the citywould fundit.

Wilson estimated itwould cost about $40million to cap over envi-ronmentally contam-inated land and build thepark.

That doesn’t includethe cost to buy the 24acres of land,whose own-ers includeGeneral IronIndustries, ComEd andPeoplesGas. By compari-son, SterlingBay bought asimilar-sized parcel ofvacant land, the formerA.Finkl& Sons steel plant,

for $140million.The coalition said the

land proposed for thepark could beworth sig-nificantly less because itwould require extensiveenvironmental remedia-tion to be redevelopedcommercially.

SterlingBay has anoption to buy anotherriverfront property thatnowhouses an office ofC.H. RobinsonWorld-wide, Smith said. Thelogistics firmplans tomove to a newbuildingSterlingBay is construct-ing at the north edge ofLincolnYards.

Smith andWaguespacksaid the city could tapseveral funding sources,including newcity zoningfees, tax increment fi-nancing andprivate dona-tions, to buy the land. Thecity also could negotiate aland transfer fromSter-ling Bay in exchange forallowing increased den-sity on theLincolnYardsproject along the east andwest sides of the river, thealdermen said.

“Wewould be thrilledto help support the city’sefforts to develop addi-tional public open spaceand amenities along theChicagoRiver,” SterlingBayManaging PrincipalAndyGloor said in anemailed statement. “If thecity acquired additionalland along the east side ofthe river to further ex-pand our proposed greenbelt, SterlingBaywouldbewholly supportive.”

Cooperation of themayor and city agencieswould be needed to bringthe park to fruition.

Hopkins,whosewardincludes the proposedpark, has been asked tojoin the coalition buthasn’t done so,Wilsonsaid.

Hopkins said he hasn’tseen the plans, but addedthat he’s “willing to con-tinue the effort tomaxi-mize the amount of parkspacewe can get.”

“Weneedmore parkspace for the entire area,and if the aldermen areable to bringmore of it tothe 32nd and43rdwards,I’d support thembringingthat to the table aswell,”Hopkins said.

Pedestrian bridgeswould help link the parkto public transportation inthe area,Wilson said. Thecity alsomust addresstraffic congestion in thearea,which likelywillrequire newbridges andother infrastructure.

“I think very soonwe’re going to hear ofinfrastructure needs inthe $500million range,”Wilson said. “Nobody hassaid that yet, but itwouldn’t surpriseme.”

Members of the coali-tion said a 24-acre river-front parkwould— likeother complex and costlyundertakings includingMillenniumPark, The 606elevated trail and ongoingdevelopment of the down-town riverwalk—pay offfor decades to come.

“These are 100-yeardecisions,”Waguespacksaid. “Every one of thesedevelopments thatwe’relooking at is coming infast and furious.We’retrying to think 100 yearsahead andwhat the im-pact is going to be on ourneighborhood organiza-tions and on the river.”

NEW YORK — Insidertrading charges were an-nounced Wednesdayagainst a former Equifaxexecutive who sold hisshares for nearly $1 mil-lion before the company’smassive data breach wasrevealed to the public andthe stock price plunged.

A federal grand jury onTuesday indicted JunYing, 42, the former chiefinformation officer ofEquifax’sU.S. InformationSolutions, part of the At-lanta-based credit report-ing company. The Securi-ties and Exchange Com-mission on Wednesdayalso charged Ying withinsider trading.

It was not immediatelyclearwhetherYing had anattorney who could com-ment on the charges.

TheSECandU.S.Attor-ney’sOffice inAtlanta saidfederal investigations areongoing. Ying is the onlyformer Equifax executivenamed in Tuesday’s in-dictment.

Equifax Chief FinancialOfficer John Gamble andthreeotherexecutivessoldshares worth a combined$1.8 million days afterEquifax discovered suspi-cious activity on its net-work — and nearly amonthbeforeYing soldhisshares — but Equifax saidan independent commit-tee determined that theseother executives did notknow of the breach whentheir tradesweremade.

A total of about 147.9million Americans havebeen impacted byEquifax’s data breach,which remains the largestexposure of personal in-formation in history. Itwasdisclosedto thepublicon Sept. 7.

The SEC noted that atthe time of the breach,Ying was often entrustedwith nonpublic companyinformation and was aleading candidate to be-

come the global CIO ofEquifax, a job he was infactofferedonSept. 15, thesame day the companyannounced CIO DaveWebbwould retire.

Federal authorities sayEquifax discovered thesuspicious activity on itsnetwork on July 29. Inmid-August, the companychanged administrativecredentials for many of itsinternal databases. Yingwas aware of thesechanges, and employeeswho reported to himwereresponsible for some ofthem. On Aug. 25, Yingalong with several em-ployees who reported tohim were asked to helprespond, although he wastold then that the workinvolved a potentialEquifax customer, notEquifax itself, the indict-ment says.

Ying sent textmessagesto a co-worker saying,“Sounds bad. We may bethe one breached,” and“I’mstarting toput2and2together,” the indictmentsays.

Three days later, Yingused his Equifax computerto do internet searches onthe effect on the Experianstockpriceof a2015breachat that credit reportingcompany. Later that morn-ing, on Aug. 28, he exer-cised all his available stockoptions and received 6,815shares of Equifax stock,which he sold for morethan $950,000.

Progress Rail, a rail carmaker owned by Caterpil-lar, said Wednesday it isconsidering the closure ofits engine manufacturingcenter near La Grange,whichcouldmean the lossof 600 jobs.

The company said thepotential closure is part ofan effort to use its manu-facturing space more effi-ciently. If it goes aheadwith the closure, the com-pany said it will moveoperations to other facili-ties in theU.S. and to someoutside suppliers.

The 600 full-time posi-tions at the plant, which istechnically in neighboringMcCook, are manufactur-ing positions. There areapproximately 600 addi-tional office and engineer-ing support roles thatwould not be affected, thecompany said.

“Should we move for-ward with the decision torelocate production, wewill work to mitigate theimpact onemployees, theirfamilies and the communi-ty,” the company said in astatement. Progress Rail’scorporate headquarters isinAlbertville, Ala.

Walmart is expandingits same-day online gro-cery delivery service tomore than 40 percent ofU.S. households, or 100metro areas, by year-endas it tries tokeeppacewithonline leader Ama-zon.com.

The service is currentlyavailable in sixmarkets.

Tom Ward, vice presi-dent of Walmart's digitaloperations, says the retailgiant is powering the ex-pansion of its same-daydelivery service using itsonline grocerypickuppro-gram. That service usespersonal shoppers to se-lect items and then takethem to shoppers' carsparked at the curb.

So far, Walmart offerscurbside grocery pickup at1,200 stores and plans toaccelerate the rollout to

2,200by year-end. It's cur-rently using 18,000 per-sonal shoppers.

Walmart says it willcontinue to use of ride-hailing services like Uberto deliver the goods toshoppers' homes as it ex-pands its service.

Shoppers pay a flat feeof $9.95but are required tospend at least $30 perorder.

Walmart Inc. has alsobeen testing a service us-ing itsU.S. storeworkers todrop off general merchan-dise like toys and beddingto customers' homes afterthey finishwork.

Amazon's purchase ofWhole Foods Market lastyear has raised the stakesin the highly competitivegrocery deliverywars.

WASHINGTON—Presi-dent Donald Trump haschosen Larry Kudlow to behis top economic aide, ele-vating the influence of along-time fixture on theCNBC business news net-work who previouslyserved in the Reagan ad-ministration and hasemerged as a leading evan-gelist for tax cuts and asmaller government.

Kudlow told The Associ-ated Press on Wednesdaythat he has accepted theoffer, saying the U.S. econo-my is poised to take off afterTrump signed $1.5 trillionworth of tax cuts into law.

“The economy is startingto roar and we’re going togetmore of that,” he said.

Kudlow will join an ad-ministration in the middle

secretary of state, formerExxonMobil CEORexTill-erson.

The famously pinstripe-suited Kudlow would suc-ceed Gary Cohn, a former

Goldman Sachs executivewho is leaving the post in adispute over Trump’s deci-sion to impose tariffs onsteel and aluminum.

With Trump’s tax cutsalreadybeing implemented,Kudlowwouldbeadvisingapresident who appears in-creasingly determined totax foreign imports — apolicy that Kudlow person-ally opposes. Kudlow saidthat he is “in accord” withTrump’s agenda and thathis team at the WhiteHouse would help imple-ment the policies set by thepresident.

Trump has promised toreduce the trade imbalancewith China and rewrite theNorthAmericanFreeTradeAgreement with Canadaand Mexico. Kudlow de-clined to saywhat advice hewould give the president ontrade issues, saying insteadthat Trump is “a very goodnegotiator.”

Kudlow, 70, has infor-mally advised the Trumpadministration in the pastand he has spoken with the

president “at some length inrecent days,” so that he isready “to hit the groundrunning.”

“He’s a very sensitiveman and a very logical man,which is exactly whatTrump needs,” said ArthurLaffer, awell-knownecono-mist and longtime friend ofKudlow.

The two men and theirwives used to celebrateNew Year’s Eve togetheroutside San Diego whereLaffer lived at the time. Inthe Reagan administration,Kudlow worked in theWhite House budget office,and Laffer served on aneconomic policy advisoryboard. Both built theireconomic visions aroundthe notion that tax cuts arecritical for maximizingeconomic growth, a princi-ple at the heart of the $1.5trillion tax reductionTrump signed into law latelast year.

In 1987, Kudlow movedto Wall Street and, thoughhe never completed a mas-ter’s program in economics

andpolicyatPrincetonUni-versity, served as chiefeconomist at Bear Stearns.He left that position in theearly 1990s to treat an ad-diction to alcohol anddrugs, after which Kudlowworked at Laffer’s researchand consulting firm.

Kudlow soon settledcomfortably into the worldof political and economicpunditry, working at theconservative National Re-view magazine and ulti-mately becoming a host ofCNBC shows beginning in2001. He has remained acontributor to CNBC and acolleague and friend formany at the network.

Laffer described Kudlowas someone who would beinclined to offer “unvar-nished” advice to the presi-dent on the appropriatepath for economic policy.

“And if by chance, hedoesn’t convince the presi-dent of something, he willbe a loyal employee,” Laffersaid. “He stays loyal even ifthe decision goes againsthim.”

NEW YORK — Yee WonChong had just been diag-nosedwith cancer.His rela-tiveswerehalf aworldawayin Malaysia and couldn’tcare forhim.Soheturnedtothe friends he considers his“chosen family.”

“There was no question,”says his longtime house-mateBrooksNelson, a Port-land, Ore., charity executivewho used his own sick daysto accompany Chong todoctor’s appointments.“That’swhat family does.”

Arrangements like theirshave quietly been gainingpolitical recognition.

In the last two years,Arizona, Rhode Island andthe three biggest U.S. cities— New York, Los Angelesand Chicago — have passedlaws that let workers usesick days to care for anyonewho’s like family to them.Similar laws also passed inAustin, Texas, just lastmonth and St. Paul, Minn.,in 2016. Millions of federalemployees and contractorsalso have the benefit.

To some business inter-ests, such laws put bosses inthe awkward position offiguring out who’s the“equivalent” of family. Butto Chong, the policies sim-ply “catch upwith the wayspeople are related to eachother.”

At 46, the nonprofit-or-ganization consultant hashad romantic partners butalso forged bondswith peo-ple in homes he has sharedand in his circle of liberalactivists.

Still, as he asked for helpdealing with cancer, hewondered: “Am I imposingon them?”

His friends didn’t see itthatway.

Roberta Hunte readilykept Chong company atchemotherapy, recallingherfriends’ support when hermother had cancer. AndreiJoseph, who flew in to helpChong recuperate fromsurgery, is a cancer survivorand part of a couple whosehome Chong shared foryears in Brookline,Mass.

“What kind of personwould I be if I didn’t go inhis time of need?” saysJoseph, a retired teacher.

Acknowledging the“equivalent” of family re-lationships is rooted in a

1969 regulation about fed-eral employees’ leave formilitary funerals in thethick of theVietnamWar.

A 1994 law extended the“equivalent” definition tofederal workers’ sick time,and a 2015 presidential or-der did the same for manyfederal contractors. Themore recent state and localmeasures cover an esti-

mated 10 million private-sector and governmentworkers, saysWendyChun-Hoon of Family Values atWork, a paid sick leaveadvocacy group.

Workers don’t get extrasick days for family-“equiv-alent” care; it’s just a waythey can use their allottedtime. It’s not yet clearwhether the broad defini-

tion spurs workers to takemore of their sick days.

Much of the impetus forchosen-family-friendly sickleave laws has come fromgay people. But New YorkCity got complaints aboutworkers being denied sickleave to care for aunts and afiancee before its law wasbroadened last fall, con-sumer affairs Commis-sioner Lorelei Salas said.

Wil Darcangelo’s chosenfamily is one he never envi-sionedwhen hemoved intoa studio at a Fitchburg,Mass., home five years agoin exchange for carpentrywork.

The household now in-cludeshimandhishusband;a 22-year-old blind womanwith autism they legallyadopted last summer; hishusband’s stroke-strickenex-partner; a British expatwho helps aides care for theex-partner and plays musicwith Darcangelo and hisdaughter; and the 72-year-old homeowner.

“Oursystemworks forus,but only in spite of the way

the larger system works,”says Darcangelo, 48, achurch spiritual coordina-tor whose flexible hoursallowhim to fill care gaps.

Regardless of laws, someemployers let employeesuse sick or “personal” daysto care for whomever theychoose. “I don’t need toknow or research or see abirth certificate, a weddingcertificate. We’re dealingwith adults,” says JimHouser, co-owner ofHawthorne Auto Clinic inPortland.

But some businessgroups and employmentlawyers are wary of manag-ing sick time around the“equivalent” of family.

“This open-ended provi-sion, which defies any defi-nition or parameters, ispriceless” to sick-timeslack-ers, says Michael Soltis, aConnecticut lawyer whotracks paid sick leave laws.

Lisa Horn of the Societyfor Human Resource Man-agement, a major associ-ation of HR professionals,says the language “raises a

host of concerns” about itsmeaning.

Others see better ways tobe inclusive. “Who gets todecidewho’s the ‘equivalentof family?’ ” asks RichardReeves, a senior fellow ineconomics at the BrookingsInstitution think tank. Hesuggests simply lettingworkers use sick time tocare for themselves or “an-other.”

However it’s worded, themeaning of chosen familyseems clear to Jana Clark,who is looking forward toseeing Rhode Island’s lawtake effect in July.

After a stint in graduateschool, Clark,who is 30 andstarting a job at a university,returned to Providence lastsummer because of herchosen family there. Thefriends help one another inways as big as openinghomes when someoneneeds to stay and as every-day as dropping off soupwhen someone’s sick.

“Just the same kinds ofthings,” she says, “a familymembermight do.”

TARUMIZU, Japan —Theywere known as “phan-tom” items: small buttonswith colorful paintings offlowers, birds and othermo-tifs from nature. Known asSatsuma buttons, they be-came popular overseas from1868 to 1912, but were rarelyfor sale in Japan.

That’s changed sinceShiho Murota, of Tarumizu,revived the buttons morethan 10 years ago. Her craft-work has become so popu-lar, she now receives ordersfromoverseas.

The buttons are said tohavebeencreated from localSatsuma ware ceramics, as

an export mainly to Europeto help the region earnforeign currency. Knownsimply as Satsuma, the but-tons became popular over-seas.

They were little-knowninJapan,however, andeven-tually all the producers dis-appeared.

Murota, 42, learnedaboutSatsuma buttons around2003. She was working as aceramics painter at a localpottery for so-called whiteSatsuma ware, which wasoriginally produced for thelocal lord and upper-classsociety, and a picture in amagazinehappened tocatchher eye.

She looked into the sub-ject, which eventually ledher to visit a museum inTokyo that owns numerousSatsuma buttons.

At the museum, Murotafound small buttons with

pictures illustrating people’slives in those days, such asseasonal landscapes andhow children dressed. Shewas fascinated by theirunique designs.

“I felt the universe inthose small buttons,” sherecalled.

This made Murota wantto bring the buttons back,and she eventually quit pot-tery in 2005. She set up herown workshop in a vacanthouse in Tarumizu to starther efforts to create Satsumabuttons.

Even though she hadworked as a painter forwhite Satsuma ware,Murota found it difficult todraw a picture on a small“canvas” measuring lessthan 2 inches in diameter, atask that required her tofocus all her attention on thetip of a brush.

“The more challenging a

task is, themorepassionate Iget,”Murota said.

She devoted herself topracticing over and over,suffering chronically stiffshoulders and eyestrain. Itultimately took three yearsfor her to become confidentin herwork.

In 2007, Murota held herfirst solo exhibition inKago-shima city, where she re-ceived a much bigger re-sponse than she expected, as

it was the first opportunityfor most visitors to seeSatsuma buttons.

The artist later took partin a U.S. exhibition onunique buttons around theworld, which brought in asurge of overseas orders.

When making Satsumabuttons, Murota first drawssketches and applies color.She then fires the items inanelectric kiln and applies ad-ditional color before putting

themback in the kiln.It takes two to three

weeks to make the buttons.Murota makes 30 to 50Satsuma buttons on orderpermonth.

Murota said she tries toinclude aspects of “today” inher buttons. “(Items featur-ing) current trends will be-come antiques 100 or 150years in the future,” she said.“That’swhy Iwant to depictcontemporary themes.”

Shiho Murota uses animals from the Chinese zodiac in some Satsuma buttons. The items,popular in Europe more than 100 years ago, are making a comeback in Japan.

NEWYORK—Whentheworld shifted frompersonalcomputers to smartphones,websites had to slim downto work on smaller screensand slower wireless con-nections. A similar shift tovoice-centric services isagain forcing businesses torethink how they presentinformation to consumers— and spurring new effortsto help themdo so.

The software companyAdobe, for instance, re-

cently announced a newsuiteof tools that couldhelpairlines, retailers and othercompanies create straight-forward voice interfaces fortravel and shopping. It’s nota simple task, since a voice-based digital assistant can’treally list dozens of flightoptions or hundreds ofproducts.

That means companieshave to figure out how towinnow down thosechoices to the travel optionsor products people aremostlikely to want — an inher-ently fraught undertaking.

The technology is still inits infancy, and Adobedoesn’t have any actual cor-poratepartners toshowcaseyet. But its announcement,made in conjunction with atech show in Barcelona,Spain, shows that voice as-sistants are becoming im-portant channels for reac-hing consumers.

Amazon’s voice-shop-ping feature already boilsdown shopping requests toone or two options andmakes buying easy becauseit already has payment andshipping information for

voice-eligible customers.But smaller businessesdon’t have the computingresources and expertise tomatch that, which is wherecompanies likeAdobe comein.

Adobe’s new voice serv-ice will work with all majorvoice assistants, not justAmazon’s. It will limit itsanalysis to data provided bythe particular companypeople are shopping at, in-stead of trying to pullingtogether a more compre-hensive personal profilefrommultiple sources.

While Amazon has established easy shopping for Echousers, small companies are just exploring how to do that.

Jay B. Ross was a lawyerwho worked in the areas ofentertainment and musicand counted as clients leg-ends like Muddy Waters,Willie Dixon and JamesBrown.

Ross also was a mentorand friend to many youngpeople in those fields in-cluding Rachael Cain,known as “Screamin’Rachael,” who was an earlypromoter of the electronicdance music known ashouse music through herTraxRecords label.

“Jay Ross wasmymentorand my entree into themusic business,” Cain said.“He saw me at a talentcontest and he got me myfirst major label deal, out ofNew York. It was a million-dollar deal.”

Ross, 76, died of a heartattackMarch 1 in the NorthSide home where he hadlived for many years, saidhis cousin, JeffryMandell.

He was born BernardRosenblatt in Brooklyn,proud that he andAbrahamLincoln shared a birthday.Both his parents died by thetime he was 2 and he wasadopted by an aunt anduncle who lived in Rock-ford, where he grew up. Hegraduated from RockfordWestHigh School.

He went on to the Uni-versity of Wisconsin atMadison, where he re-ceived a bachelor’s degreein science before going tothe University of IllinoisCollege of Law in Cham-paign and graduating in1967, according toMandell.

After passing the barexam in 1968, Ross workedfirst for another lawyer andthenonhis own,developinga large personal-injurypractice. “As the years wentby, he got more and moreinterested in entertainmentlaw,” said Mandell, whosharedoffices andpracticedwithRoss for a time.

Ross worked his waythrough college and lawschool booking bands forconcerts, so he was well-known on the music scene.That led blues musicianMuddy Waters to come tohimabout aproblemhewas

having with an insurancecompany. “He thought I dida good job, so he passed myname to some of hisfriends,” Ross told the Trib-une in 2008.

Willie Dixon, AlbertKing, T-Bone Walker, PopsStaples, Dinah Washingtonand a long line of otherentertainers soon becameclients.

“Most of the work I didinvolved going after thepeople who weren’t payingmyclients royalties,” he toldtheTribune.

OliverTorres,Ross’officemanager for the last 10years, said “every day wasan adventure”withRoss.

“He was always intro-ducing me to new things –music, movies, food, au-thors,” Torres said. “You’drun into a lot of interestingpeople.”

Over the years, Ross wastenacious in getting artistswhat they felt they de-served. He also found timeto host a TV show, “Jay B.Ross Backstage Pass”; lec-ture; teachcourses onnego-tiation at Columbia CollegeChicago; and make an ap-pearance as the “Rappin’Lawyer” in a videowith thetagline “Sue the bastards,”which can still be seen onYouTube.

“In high school and col-lege, hewas a terrific actor,”Mandell said. “He neverreally lost his love for act-ing.”

His YouTube appear-ances include a TV showwith James Brown, whodied in 2006. Cain said sheandRoss attended “several”

of Brown’s funerals. “Eachtime, Brown was dresseddifferently in the casket,”she said. That promptedRoss to remark, “Well, Mr.Brown is still the hardest-working man in show busi-ness.”

Cain, sometimes calledthe “queen of housemusic,”said Ross played an impor-tant role in supporting theartists that started the Chi-cago sound that came to beknown as housemusic. “Hejust loved music. He lovedall kinds of music,” Cainsaid. “We were all kids andwe didn’t know a thing –and we weren’t made ofmoney.”

Ross was an expert onintellectual property law,Cain said. Any time sheneeded to know somethingabout publishing, trade-marks or copyright, shewent to Ross, as did othersin her circle.

“He got us all going andsteered us all. He was theonly onewhowouldhelpusout,” she said. “Thank Godfor JayB. Ross.”

Ross set up the Jay B.Ross Foundation to fostereducation and networkingin the music industry, in-cluding providing a forumfor panels of experiencedentertainers to share theirexperiences with youngerpeople in the business.

Ross leavesno immediatesurvivors.

Plans are being made fora memorial gathering inApril orMay.

CHICAGOSPORTSChicago’s best sports section, as judged by theAssociated Press Sports Editors


DALLAS—A reporter fromMiami corrected herself,showingLoyola coachPorterMoser the respect his teamearned after the program’s best season in 33 years.

“What about theMiami team scares you—not scaresyou but concerns youmost?” she askedduringWednesday’s news conference.

Moser, as fearless as he is tireless, seized the opportunityto lighten themood.

“You can use theword ‘scare,’ that’s OK,” he saidwith asmile, drawing laughter.

Moser’s comfort comes in knowing his Ramblers arehaving toomuch fun to be afraid of the sixth-seededHurricanes, their first-round opponentThursday atAmericanAirlinesArena inLoyola’s firstNCAAtournament game since 1985.

If anything,Moserworriesmore about distraction thanintimidation as attention builds around an increasinglytrendy pick to beatMiami and emerge as aCinderellateam.

“We lost, so I was emotional,” Jackson recalled. “But(MoserandI) justclicked.He just talkedabout: ‘This isyournext step. Juco isbehindyou.’He talkedabout thecultureatLoyola. Itwas a perfect fit.”

After a 16-word emailsent 21⁄2hours into thestart of the new league yearWednesday,Dion Simswasthe lastman standing fromthe collection of free agentsthe Bears signed tomultiyearcontracts a year ago.

The Bears terminatedthe contracts of quarterbackMikeGlennon, cornerbackMarcusCooper andwide receiverMarkusWheaton a littlemore than twoweeks after cutting loose safetyQuintin Demps. The four combinedto participate in 874 snaps on offenseor defense last season andwalk awaywith a total of $33million,withGlennon’s $16million accounting fornearly half.

The only thingworse than a team

making amistake in freeagency is not being able toownup to it. In that regardtheBears deserve credit formoving on from thesignings that didn’tworkout for them, a processsurelymade easierwith anewcoaching staff in place.

Whether Sims sticks is adecision likely to come soon. The tightend has a base salary of $6million forthis seasonwith$4million guaranteedif he is on the roster Friday.

If theBears keep Sims, theywillbe devoting bigmoney to two tightends after free agentTreyBurton’sfour-year, $32million dealwith $22million guaranteed ismade official.

SURPRISE, Ariz.—TheCubs don’t feel the need toapologize to their fans fornotwinning theWorldSeries again in 2017.

When it takes 108 yearstowin just one, Cubs’ fansshouldn’t be too greedy.

But as they go abouttheir business of trying toget back to the Series, thelackluster start of 2017 stillhangs over theCubs’ headswith thenew season only a couple ofweeksaway.

What can they do to avoid thepitfalls of last April, when theWorldSeries hangover seeminglywas infull effect?

“Wehad a pretty dang goodseason last year, considering a lot of

the flawswehadindividually and as ateam,” third basemanKris Bryant said. “I thinkwe’ve added somuchthis year in terms ofcoaches andplayers andpersonalities that all thenew stuffwill take over andimprove (areaswhere)wedidn’t dowell last year.”

Despite a poor showing againsttheDodgers in theNational LeagueChampionship Series last October,theCubswere still the firstdefendingWorld Series championsto return to the playoffs the nextyear since the 2012Cardinalswon awild-card spot.

money thatmatters is the guarantee, butforwhat it’sworth, Amukamara’s averageannual salary ranks fourth among free-agent cornerbacks so far.

Pace appears to have negotiated like aGMwith something attractive to sell in-stead of someone trying to cover the stenchof desperation by bidding against himself.

So there are signs that Pacemight begrowing up.What he did thisweek so far isnot as nuts aswhat he did at least year’sdraft.What he did thisweek so far is at-tempt to reasonably complement last year.MitchTrubisky, the quarterbackPacedrafted after bidding against himself forthe right to trade up from third to second,has new, seemingly price-appropriateplaymates.Now, jeez, oy, canPace’s sign-ings finally, actually play like anNFLof-fense?

[email protected]@steverosenbloom

It’s comical, really. Comical thewayBears generalmanagerRyanPace talksabout the danger that is free agency andthen immediately dives into the deep endof that danger, and then usually drowns.Glug, glug, glug.

Imean,MikeGlennon, glug, glug, glug.MarkusWheaton, glug, glug, glug. PernellMcPhee, glug, glug, glug. Jerrell Freeman,glug, glug, glug. There aremore—AlanBall, glug, glug, glug—but you get the idea.Pacemakes a bunch of signings, tells ushowmuchhe loves them, and then, pffft.Pace is the boywho cried, “Andwe’re firedup about that.”

Pace has described free agency as riskyand aminefield.He said thatwhile theBears have a lot of salary-cap space avail-able he still has to be strategic and disci-plined.

And then the legal tampering portion offree agency beganMonday, and byTuesdaynight, Pace reportedly had agreementswith two receivers, a tight end and a cor-nerback.

Oh, and a kicker.Say this for Pace, though: It looked stra-

tegic, if not disciplined. TheBears neededreceivers. Check that, they needed goodreceivers.Wedon’t yet know if AllenRob-inson andTaylorGabrielwill be good fortheBears, andwedon’t know if TreyBur-tonwill be the pass-catching tight end theycrave, but evenPace knewwhere his rosterstunk. Continued to stink, I should say.

TheBears also needed another startingcornerback, and bringing backPrinceAmukamara gives theBears the samestarting corners for a second straight sea-son.

And of course, a different kicker. Alwaysa different kicker. Since Pace dumpedRobbieGould, theBears have had a bunchof kickers, none ofwhomyou can trust, andherewe go again. CodyParkey, hello.

What Pace has done iswhat he hasalways done: throwbigmoney at hismis-takes, even knowing that throwing bigmoney at free agents is themistake that gothim into this impotent, recidivist, comicalsituation in the first place.

But here’s the thing: Stevie Sunshineoffers several thoughts onwhy thismightnot be the usual Pace disaster, or at leastnot as big of a disaster.

First, he targeted younger players enter-ing their prime, if they’re ever going to

have a prime.Next season, Robinson andBurtonwill be 25, Gabriel 27.

Second, if hewas going to throwbigmoney at free agents, he at least threw it atyoung players near the top of themarket.Most observers rankedRobinson as the topreceiver available, even thoughhe’s comingoff left ACL surgery. Burton,meanwhile,was regarded as the best young “move”tight end for newcoachMattNagy’sschemebecause it is similar to the one inwhichBurton playedwith theEagles.

Third, Pace didn’t bid against himself tooverpay.Well, not everywhere, anyway.Burton’s four-year, $32million deal in-cludes $22million guaranteed. Pace isbettingBurton can beZachErtzwhenhegrows up.

ButRobinson’s three-year, $42milliondeal is $6million less than the contract theChiefs gave free-agent receiver SammyWatkins, and his $25million guarantee is$5million less thanWatkins’. The only

Biermann, 21, is filming theBravoseries “Don’t BeTardy” inAtlantawhileKopech, 21, is in spring trainingwith theSox inArizona.He’s expected to beginthe seasonwithTriple-ACharlotte.

The report saidKopech “was notice-ably absent” fromBiermann’s 21st birth-day party lastmonth inMiami butshared birthdaywishes on Instagram.

THE LINEUP

They also became the first champion tobothwin the division and reach 90 victo-ries the next year since the 2008Phillieswent 93-69 and took theNLEast in ’09.Before that, the last champ towin thedivision afterwinning theWorld Serieswas the 2001Diamondbacks,who cap-tured theNLWest in 2002.

After being asked about the hangover allspring last year, theCubs started 13-11 inApril, then fell to 12-16 inMay.

“Itwas just different intensity,” AnthonyRizzo said of the rough start. “It’s hard tomatch the intensity of aGame 7WorldSeries or being down2-1 to theDodgers (inthe ’16NLCS) and coming back and beat-ing (Clayton)Kershaw.

“Tohave the same intensity inApril on aweekend series against theRed Sox, a‘SundayNight Baseball’ (game) in FenwayPark, itwas like night-and-day difference.”

Now thehangover effect is the problemof theAstros,whowonGame 7 of the 2017World Series against theDodgers andhopeto avoid the dreaded Series hangover.

“I’mnot expecting anyWorld Serieshangover,” generalmanager Jeff Luhnowtoldme after the season. “But anytime youhave a great season andplay all thewayuntil the end, there’s a chance you’re notgoing to get off to a great start the followingyear, and everyone is going to be trying tobeat you.

“We’re going to do everythingwe can toprepare andhope it doesn’t happen to us.But I’mnot sure I’d call it a hangoverwhentheCubswent to theNLCS.”

Whether theCubs’ hangoverwas real,Astros starterDallasKeuchel isn’t con-cerned aboutHouston following theirblueprint.When theWashingtonPostrecently asked himabout theWorld Serieshangover, Keuchel shot back: “We’re nottheCubs. I firmly believewehave betterplayers.”

Thatmay ormay not be the case, thoughRizzo said he’s looking forward to seeinghow theAstros get through the early partof the season.

“It’ll be interesting,” he said. “Onpaperthey’re the team to beat, no doubt. They’vereloaded evenmore andhave another yearof experience. It’s just a differentmentalitythat has been proven year after year.

“Wewere one of only a few teams inrecent years to get back to the playoffs afterwinning theWorld Series. It says a lotaboutwhowe are, because it’s not easy intoday’s game.”

Bryant agreed that fans often overlooktheCubs’ three-year run of being in theNLCSbecause they expected a repeat in ’17.

“Getting to theNLCS three years in arow is really hard to do, let alone get in theplayoffs three years in a row,” he said. “As afan, you’re a die-hard.Once you’re comingoff theWorld Serieswith the corewehaveand the playerswehave, I guess it can beseen as a letdown.

“Itwas a bit in ourminds.Wewant towin aWorld Series every year, andwe feelfor them.We’re out on the field every daytrying hard to get to that point again.”

Without a hangover effect, there’s noexcuse for this year’s teamnot to get off toa running start and put the heat on theBrewers andCardinals to keep upwith them.

“We’ve talked about getting off to a hotstart,” pitcherKyleHendricks said. “Twoyearswe did a really good job at that. Lastyear, not somuch. I think a lot of it, withthese position guys, they play somanyinnings throughout the year. You can see itin their legs. There’s a lotmore life, a lotmore energy evenhere in spring. They’vealready got their legs underneath them.

“That’s a very good sign, and I just thinkthat’s going to do uswonders starting offthe season.”

No Series hangover, soCubs can skip woozy startSullivan, from Page 1

PHOENIX — After each of hisfirst three Cactus League starts —all losses — White Sox starterCarson Fulmer was able to findsomepositives.

Though nothing positive wasevident in Fulmer’s fourth effort,when the right-hander was pum-meled in an 11-3 loss to theBrewers on Wednesday at Mary-vale Baseball Park, he again man-aged to look on the bright side.Fulmer was battered for sevenruns on five hits with three walksand three home runs — two byRyan Braun, including a grandslam— in 1 2⁄3 innings.

“Just abadouting,”Fulmer said.“You try not to think about thenegatives as much as you can. Inmycareer IneverhaveandIneverwill. It’s just one of those bumpsyou have to iron out. I’ve hadsuccess at every level that I’vebeen, and I’ve had failure. But it’sdefinitely going to click for mesoon, and I’ll be ready for theopportunity.”

Thus far Fulmer is 0-4 with an18.90ERAandwould appear to beputtinghisNo. 5 starter spot in theSox rotation in jeopardy. Left-hander Hector Santiago hasbeen putting pressure on Fulmerwith a strong spring as the veteran

has a 0.90 ERA and 10 strikeoutsin 10 Cactus League innings. In a“B” game against the Dodgers’Triple-A club Wednesday atCamelback Ranch in Glendale,Ariz., Santiago went 2 1⁄3 inningsand allowed three runs on six hitswith no walks and three strike-outs.

“I don’t really think abouttrying to get that spot asmuch as Ican,” Fulmer said. “It’s just abunch of pressure that I don’tneed to put onmyself. Everythingwill work itself out. I’ll be able toflush this pretty quick and getready for the next one.”

Early out: Right fielder AvisailGarciawas pulled from the gamefor not running hard on a first-inning ground ball to first.

Afterward, the veteran said heunderstood and accepted man-ager Rick Renteria’s decision totake himout.

“I didn’t run; it’s my fault,” saidGarcia, who added he didn’timmediately pick up the ball offhis bat.

“Everybody makes mistakes.You have to be honest withyourself. You can’t lie to yourself. Ididn’t run, they take me out.That’s it.”

MESA, Ariz. — The throwsthat occasionally would tail anddip now head toward the chestof first basemanAnthonyRizzo.

And the chatter regarding aposition switch involving Cubsshortstop Addison Russell hassubsided for now.

Thanks to an increased em-phasis on fundamentals and off-season work, Russell’s rightshoulder appears as strong as ithas been since he switched fromsecond base inAugust 2015.

“It’s just something I’ve beenworkingon,makingsure thatmyarm has (stamina) throughoutthe season,” Russell said.

“Obviously I’m working on itthroughout the spring, but it’smore important through theseason. I’ve taken steps in theright direction for that to hap-pen.”

Shortly after the 2017 season,President Theo Epstein said heand his staff briefly discussedRussell’s long-term future atshortstop, but it never reached apointwhere aposition change tosecond — where he played thefirst 3 1⁄2 months of his major-league career — was consideredseriously.

But after Javier Baez movedfrom second to short in Augustwhen Russell was injured andBaez played a stretch of 26consecutive errorless gameswhile executing a mix of daz-zling and routine plays, someoutside Wrigely Field ques-tionedRussell’s place.

Regardless of Baez’s slickfielding, Russell already wasdetermined to find ways toimprove his defense. Of his 14errors last season, 10 were onthrows. Several of those errantthrows occurred on routineplays when his throws sailed ordippedpast Rizzo.

The addition of coach BrianButterfield has helped Russellpolish his footwork and rely lesson his arm.

“I’ve been trying to take infor-mation and put my athleticismand talent intowhat he’s saying,”Russell said.

“That has been a huge thing.We’re getting on the same pageas far as workload. I’m happy tohave him as a coach because it’sthe fourthweek,andI’ve learnedsomuch already.”

After being hired in late Octo-ber, Butterfield studied video-

tape of Russell and his fellowinfielders and addressed someareas to help him throw with asmoother delivery.

“All we’re trying to do isprovide more consistency inmanyfacets in thegame,”Butter-field said. “We’re trying to makesure he feels his legs. That’salways a help. Sometimes thelegs and creating a direct pathcleans up other things that hadhimmaybe a tad short in throw-ing the ball across.

“It’s a long, challenging throw(to first base), andhehasworkedvery hard with his feet, with hisdirection and with followingthrough like a pitcher finishesand stepping through with thenext foot. Right now he feelsgood about it, and it’s payingdividends.”

Throughout this spring, Rus-sell hasmade a few throws fromahigherarmangle thanpreviousseasons. Russell emphasizedthat was unintentional, but theincreased velocity from variousangles has been noticeable.

“My arm is going to find itsslotwhenI’mreadyto throw,butit’s just more about getting mybody in the right position tothrow,” Russell said. “It has beenworking.”

Butterfield isn’t about to try toget in Russell’s way. He respectshis pupil’s interest in learningand attention to detail in foot-work.

“I try to be his eyes daily,”Butterfield said. “And I’vewatched enough video of himand the other infielders to knowwhen they’re doing it well andwhat they’re not doing whenthey’re not quite as consistent. Ithas been funworkingwith him.”

Russell adjustsattitude, altitudeWith offseason work,shortstop’s throwshitting 1B squarelyByMark GonzalesChicago Tribune

Addison Russell, participatingin drills last month, has beenworking on smoothing out histhrows to first base.

ARMANDO L. SANCHEZ/TRIBUNE

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Aftermissing a week because of afever, Willson Contreras ismaking up for lost time.

So after a sluggish round ofbatting practice Tuesday, Con-treras asked Jesus Feliciano,the Cubs’ Double-A Tennesseehitting coach, to set the pitchingmachine to its fastest setting.

The results paid off whenContreras smacked a two-runhome run off the batter’s eye incenter field against JordanLyles of the Padres at the PeoriaSports Complex.

“In the first at-bat I chasedone slider, then got jammed on a3-2 count (on a soft line drive tosecond),” Contreras said. “ButthatwasOK. Igotagoodpitch todrive on the secondAB. You sawthat one.”

Contreras caught JonLester’s minor-league gameWednesday and went 1-for-2with a walk and a single, and hepicked a runner off second base.

Jon’s journey: Lester, who willmake his opening-day start intwoweeks against theMarlins inMiami, threw 64 of 89 pitchesfor strikes in 5 1⁄3 innings againstthe Diamondbacks’ Triple-AReno teamat Salt River Fields.

“It was good,” said Lester,who struck out six and didn’twalkabatteruntil thestartof thesixth. Lester allowed eight hits,including a two-run double toTonyRenda in the fourth.

Lester threw 10 consecutivestrikes at one juncture. He han-dled two fielding chances flaw-lessly.

The left-hander is scheduledto make two more starts beforefacing theMarlins onMarch 29.

Run for runs: The Cubs havebeen noticeably aggressive onthebasepathswith thehope thatcan translate to more runs andmore victories when they openthe season.

“(Manager) JoeMaddon and(third-base coach) Brian But-terfield have preached this,”TommyLaStella said. “They’realways diving into the littleaspects of the game and thesubtleties people miss. They’repretty big about making sure wemaintain those and don’t over-look them because those ulti-mately win or lose you the gamecomeplayoff time.

“They’re great about that.Theypreach it to us, andwe takeit to heart.”

CUBS RECAPReliever Dillon Maples was hithard in the seventh with a one-run lead over the Royals, givingup a two-run, go-ahead double ina 7-6 loss Wednesday at SurpriseStadium.On the mound: Alec Mills threwtwo shutout innings against theRoyals in his second spring start.Reliever Justin Wilson allowedone run on three hits and a walkin one inning.At the plate: Anthony Rizzodrove in three runs with a sacri-fice fly and two-run single.Dundee-Crown High’s RyanCourt continued his solid springwith his third home run.On the bases: Ian Happ waspicked off third base by catcherSalvador Perez.Key number: .500 — The Cubsare on pace for their first winningspring under Joe Maddon sincehe took over in 2015.Up next: Vs.

WHITE SOX RECAPThe White Sox trailed the Brewers by seven runs after two innings andlost 11-3 in Cactus League play Wednesday at Maryvale Baseball Park.At the plate: Yolmer Sanchez and Tim Anderson each had a hit and anRBI for the Sox. Ryan Braun was 2-for-2 with two home runs — includinga grand slam.On the mound: Carson Fulmer had another rough outing, allowing sevenruns on five hits with three walks in 12⁄3 innings.In the field: In the third inning, Anderson started a nifty double play withsecond baseman Yoan Moncada when the shortstop ranged to his leftand flipped the ball to his teammate, who caught it bare-handed andfired to first.The quote: “It's a game of inches.

CUBS NOTES

Contreras dialing upoffense to fever pitchByMark GonzalesChicago Tribune

WHITE SOX

PHOENIX — Eloy Jimenezwas short and to the point whenasked if he believes he’s ready toplay in the major leagues rightnow.

“Si,” the White Sox’s topprospect saidWednesday.

The 21-year-old Cuban won’tget that chance just yet as theoutfielder was among eight play-ers trimmed from the major-league roster. But during a spec-tacular — albeit brief — run inspring training, Jimenez certainlydidn’t dissuade opinions that hecould be a star in the making. Heenergized the organization andtantalized a fan base eager for atalent toemergeand take the teamto the next level of its rebuild.

Because of tendinitis in his leftknee that he said has dissipatedcompletely, Jimenez was limitedto nine plate appearances in theCactus League.Hemade themostof them with a slash line of.571/.667/.1.714, including two op-posite-field homers and threeRBIs.

Did he expect to have that kindof instant success?

“Yes, because I always have theconfidence to do things on thefield,” Jimenez said via a teaminterpreter.

Jimenez added a triple and asingle with three runs scored andshowed a flair for the dramaticwith a pinch homer against theCubs, the team that traded him tothe Sox last summer as part of theJoseQuintana deal.

“I belong here, I know that,”Jimenez said. “When I’m going tobe here, that’s up to the team.Theyhave tomakeadecision.Theonly thing that I can control is justto play hard and be on the field.”

Jimenez was optioned to Dou-ble-A Birmingham, where he willcontinue his development beforewhat is expected to be a quick risethrough the organization to per-haps a call-up to the Sox at somepoint this season.

“Everybody saw a little glimpseof what the young man’s capableof doing,” manager Rick Renteriasaid. “He’s going to continue towork on his defense and get moreat-bats and get himself ready.

“When people think aboutwhywould you send them back to theminor leagues, (it is to) just createenough confidence that once theyget up andmaybe hit awall — andsome of them may not — they’retruly prepared because they’reconfident inwhat they’re doing.”

In an effort to expedite theprocess to reach the majors,Jimenez said he will work on hisall-around game. Renteria saidMLB Pipeline’s No. 4-rankedoverall prospect held his owndefensively.

“I have to improve all around ifI really want to be a great player,”

Jimenez said. “That’smy focus.”Overall, Jimenez saidhis spring

trainingwas a good experience.“I had the opportunity to spend

some time and get along with myteammates, a few of the peopleI’m going to play with in thefuture,”hesaid. “I’mverysure thatthis year this team is going to dowell and I’m going to be there atone (point).”

Also cut Wednesday was right-handerDylanCease,whowasalsoacquired from the Cubs in theQuintana trade. Cease was im-pressive during three CactusLeague appearances, striking outnine and not allowing an earnedrun in 6 1/3 innings.

“His release, everything hedoes, seems to point toward ayoung man who has everythingaheadof himand thepossibility ofmaking an impact in multipleways,” Renteria said.

Cease, 22, was reassigned tominor-league campand is likely tostart the season at high Class-AWinston-Salem.

Other moves included out-fielder Daniel Palka and infielderJose Rondon being optioned toTriple-A Charlotte, left-handerIan Clarkin to Birmingham andoutfielders Micker Adolfo andLuis Basabe to Winston-Salem.Catcher Zack Collins was reas-signed tominor-league camp.

The Sox have 45 players re-maining inmajor-league camp.

Eloy Jimenez was sent to Double A on Wednesday but hopes to return to the big-league club this season.

“I love it,”Moser said. “There’sbeenmore people talking aboutLoyola basketball in 30-someyears. And the guys are handlingit. They knowevery practice,every film session has beenlocked in. And obviously theNCAA tournament is anotherlevel, spotlight,which is great forthem. It’swhat theywanted.”

ACBSSports crewhas embed-dedwith theRamblers. A 105-personLoyola traveling partymade the trip, joining somanyfriends and family. The schoolbandplayed duringWednesday’sopen practice, reminding playerstheyweren’t inRogers Park any-more.

“Thiswas an opportunity to getbetterwith our blinders on,”Moser said after Loyola’s noisy40-minuteworkout. “Iwant themto enjoy the journey.”

Everything’s bigger inTexas,but itwould hard to exaggeratehowmuch everybody associatedwithLoyola basketball has em-braced the hype thatmarks thisoccasion.

It gave guardClaytonCuster,who grewup inOverlandPark,Kan., a chance to reminisce abouthis favoriteMarchMadnessmemory: Kansas guardMarioChalmers hitting a 3-pointer overDerrickRose ofMemphiswith 2.1seconds left to send the 2008national title game into overtime—where the Jayhawkswon.

Donte Ingram, the pride ofSimeon, relished representing theChicagoPublic League, even if hetook some good-natured jabsfromYoungproduct LucasWilliamson afterWilliamson’salmamater beat Ingram’s Tues-day night.MarquesTownes andAundre Jackson, the other playerson the podium, beameddescrib-ing a culture Loyola credits for its

success asmuch as the 3-pointshot.

“We focus on the very smalldetails that help us becomegreat,” Jackson said.

TheRamblers need to payattention to those details everypossession against themore ath-leticHurricanes, spacing the floorto neutralizeMiami’s physicaladvantage. They need to show thetogethernessCuster cited invowing thiswon’t be his laststand.

“In the last fourminutes ofgames, that really comes in handybecausewe trust each other somuch to get stops andmove theball,” Custer said.

Loyola’s camaraderie remindsMoser of the last timehewas inDallaswith anNCAA tournamentteam.That time,Moser played.Back onMarch 17, 1989, he scoredsix points in 13minutes forCreighton in an 85-69 first-roundloss toMissouri. The loss stillstings.

“It’s a game that just sticks inmy craw,”Moser said. “An experi-ence in theNCAA tournament, Ihave been asked a lot, ‘What isbetter, as a player or coach?’Un-equivocally it’s a player. Theexcitement, it’swhat you’rework-ing on as a boy,watching it,dreaming it. And justwatchingthese guys uphere, to share thiswith them, as you listen to themtalk, you can understand toowe’ve got high-character guyswho create a family atmosphere.”

Moser’s own family accompa-niedLoyola,withwifeMegan, anative of Austin, Texas, takingpictures alongside the couple’sfour children,whowere excusedafterMoser said he personallycalled their schools.Moser spentsix years in the state as aTexasA&Massistant,more personalhistory thatmade this profes-sional peak feel like his career had

come “full circle.”Loyola athletic director Steve

Watson saw just asmuch symme-try looking atMiami.Watson,who stands 6-foot-9,was a bigmanwho could shoot the 3 forHurricanes coach JimLarranagaat BowlingGreen from 1989 to’91. The two remain close enoughthat onewill console the otherlateThursday afternoon.

“A great familyman,” Lar-ranaga said of his former player.“When I look at Porter’s team,they kind of are similar to thewaySteve played, really sharing theball and shooting the ballwell.”

Basketball beauty is in the eyeof the beholder.

SomewatchLoyola andnotethe influence on both ends of thefloor of RickMajerus, the latecoachwhosemeticulous ap-proachMosermimics. Otherswillsee theRamblers take the courtagainstMiami and think immedi-ately of 1985 andAlfredrickHughes,whoMoser saidwas asexcited aswhenhe ledLoyolainto the tournament. Then therewill be those of a certain agewhosemindwill go back toRam-blers legend JerryHarkness and1963, the year Loyola broke racialbarriers andwon the nationalchampionship— in order of sig-nificance.

EveryonewatchingLoyola playMiamiwill feel a similar sense ofpride for different reasons.

“Pride is an awesomehumantrait, and to see the pride comingout of Loyola alumni, Chicago, is afun thing for LoyolaUniversity,”Moser said.

Not tomention theway it hasoozed out of Loyola’s players.

“Ifwe play howweplay,wecan beat anybody,” Jackson said.

He sure didn’t sound scared.

Ramblers appear fearlessHaugh, from Page 1

CompetingThursday for 11th-seeded Loyola (28-5) against No.6 seed Miami (22-9) in theNCAA tournament in Dallas —near his hometown of FortWorth — reminds Jackson whyhe chose these words last sum-mer to be tattooed on the insideof his left forearm:

“The struggle is part of thestory.”

Coming out of KennedaleHigh School, about 20 minutessoutheastofFortWorth,Jacksonfielded offers from Division IIandDivision III programs.

“I thought I was better,” hesaid. “People advised me, ‘Mostpeople out of juco don’t make it.’I had a plan. I had a vision. Itwasn’t a hard decision. I reallywantedthis. I reallywantedtobeaDivision I athlete.”

AtMcLennan inWaco, Texas,Jackson ranked fourth nation-ally as a sophomore by shootingnearly 65 percent from the fieldandaveraged15pointsandsevenrebounds.

“As we were making our way,building this team, itwas hard toget these 6-9 athletes with highrankings,” Moser said. “Some-times you sign a kid (who’s) 6-8,6-9 because your boosters andeveryone (are) saying you’ve gotto have some size.

“Ididn’t really careabout that.Aundre is a get-it-done guy. I’vemade a living off undersizedguys. I like guys who play biggerthan they are, not smaller thanthey are. And Aundre is a guywhoplays bigger thanhe is.”

Jackson said his McLennanexperience made him a better,tougher player.

“Juco is a grind,” he said.“Everybody that goes to juco,theywant it. Every game, they’regoing to try to go for your neck.You have to be on top of yourgame and be ready for a battleevery game. It just made mehungrier. You can’t take a day offor settle.”

It’s no surprise Jacksonwon aperfect attendance award inhigh school. He shows up everygame for Loyola too.

Hehas shot at least 50percentfrom the field in 24 games. Afterbeing named Missouri ValleyConference sixth man of theyear last season, Jackson moved

into a starting role for the first 13games this season before Mosermoved him back to the benchwhen Ben Richardson returnedfrom injury.

His minutes dipped onlyslightly, and his production re-mained steady.

“Hemeans a lot to this team,”senior wing Donte Ingram said.“He’s really a starter if you askme. He’s a mismatch nightmare.He does a great job scoring andbringing energy off the bench.”

As soon as Jackson heardLoyola’s name called duringTBS’ Selection Sunday show, hecalled hismom.

“He was like, ‘Mama, I’mcoming to Dallas,’ ” LaTrishaJackson said. “I was so happy Icould have cried.”

Jackson has been bragging tohis teammates about Texas’warm weather and Southernhospitality. When the Ramblerstip off in their first NCAAtournament game in 33 years, hewill spot family, friends, formercoaches and teammates in theAmerican Airlines Centerstands.

Jackson has been reflectingon his journey and appreciatingreaching his sport’s biggeststage.

“It’s a great feeling,” he said.

The Vikings were favored towin but trailed by enough that aloss was inevitable. Let’s run ahook-and-ladder and give the ballto our offensive tackle, the playersfigured.

Loudon Love took one extrastep inbounds as an opponentcrashed into his knee, tearing hisACL andmeniscus.

“Itwas themostpainI’dbeen insince I brokemyarm,”he recalled.“I crawledoff the field. It’s a tough

story to tell.”Love cringes at the

memory of missing hissenior season of basket-ball at Geneva.

But he takes comfortin writing a new story atWright State, where theathlete who excelled intwo sports is thriving inthe one he loves most. A6-foot-9 center and the HorizonLeague freshmanof the year, Lovewill try to help the 14th-seededRaiders (25-9) upset No. 3 seedTennessee(25-8) in the first roundof the NCAA tournament Thurs-day.

“It’s something special,” hesaid. “Basketball has always beenwhere my heart was, and Coach(Scott)Nagybeing able to keephisrecruitment of me after the injurymade a big (impact) in me stayingwith him.”

Loyalty is everythingtoLove.

Before arriving atWright State, the red-shirt freshman changedhis last name from Voll-brecht to his motherLaura’s last name.

Around middleschool, when his parentsdivorced, he and his

mom moved from Vermont toIllinois, where they had morefamily support, and Laura’s fatherhelped them“get on our feet.”

“My dad was a recoveringalcoholic,”Lovesaid. “Mymom, tobe a single mother after raisingfour kids already and then takingme (to Illinois), it did (takebravery). This is all for her and allbecause of her. I wouldn’t be herewithout her.”

Love said he hasn’t seen hisfather since theymoved.

But he appreciates hismother’ssacrifices enough that he askedher after his senior high schoolseason to help him start thepaperwork so he could adopt herlast name.

“I know it was tough for her,”Love said. “She tried everything totry to keep the family together.”

Love made another changeafter originally committing to playfor Nagy at South Dakota State.Nagy — the son of former Illinoisassistant Dick Nagy who workedwith his father on the Illini’s 1989Final Four staff — took the job atWright State after Love hadsignedwith SouthDakota State.

“I just kind of fell in love withthe coaches and the way theycoached and their personalities,”Love said. “Even though I wasgoing to rehab (for the kneeinjury), they still kept a spot openforme atWright State.”

Love was good enough at foot-ball to receive a scholarship offerfrom former Illinois coach TimBeckman. But he was devoted tobasketball.

As a junior, he led theVikings toa 30-5 record and fourth-placefinish in theClass4Astate tourna-ment.

HeenteredWrightStateweigh-ing 318 pounds but spent hisredshirt season concentrating ongetting in shape.He’s down to 275andmore fluid in thepost, helpinghim average 12.9 points and 9.8rebounds.

But he hasn’t forgotten every-thing fromhis football days.

“Hebrings toughnessandphys-icality to the team,” said teammateColeGentry,a sophomore fromSt.Charles East. “He’s so big and sotall andsophysical.He’snot afraidto use his body with his footballbackground.”

NO. 6 MIAMI (22-9) VS. NO. 11 LOYOLA (28-5)2:10 p.m. Thursday | truTV | South Region | Dallas■ How they got here: The Ramblers earned their first NCAAtournament berth since 1985 by winning the Missouri ValleyConference tournament. The Hurricanes finished third in the ACC andare making their fourth appearance in six years. They are one of arecord-tying nine ACC teams in the field.■ Key storyline: Can Loyola become the Cinderella team of thetournament, or will Miami’s athleticism prevail? Analysts — andformer President Barack Obama — like Porter Moser’s team as afirst-round upset candidate. Moser said his level-headed team isn’tdistracted by the projections. Historically No. 11 seeds have won 37.1percent (49 of 132) of the 6-11 matchups. But Jim Larranaga guidedhis 2013 and 2016 Miami teams to the Sweet 16.■ Miami key number: 16. ACC games, out of 18, decided by 10 orfewer points. The Hurricanes’ last four ACC wins were decided bythree or fewer. Similarly, three of Loyola’s last four games weredecided by eight or fewer.■ Loyola key number: 0. Ramblers players who have fouled out allseason. They rank second nationally in fewest fouls, making only 13.8per game. Credit Loyola for playing aggressive but smart defense.■ He said it: “The thing that makes it even more special for us ... iswe’ve brought the buzz back around the campus. ... It’s about morethan just us. It’s about seeing the smile on people’s faces when theytalk about Loyola basketball.” — junior guard Clayton Custer■ Shannon Ryan’s pick: Loyola plays with precision and doesn’t hurtitself with silly fouls or turnovers (12.2 per game). Both teams valuedefense and try to keep the score low. Miami guard Bruce Brown’sabsence with a foot injury gives Loyola an edge in depth. TheRamblers shoot nearly 40 percent on 3-pointers. They’ll win this oneon a big shot. Loyola 65, Miami 62.

All those promises worth millions tofreeagents turned intopaydaysWednes-daywhentheNFL’sbusinessyearbegan.

Of course, teams needed to clearsalary-cap space or rejigger their ledgerstomake itwork, and they’ll still be doingso formonths.

While the likes of Drew Brees,Malcolm Butler and Andrew Norwellcashed in big time, having reachedagreements in the past two days beforeeverything became official, some valueentered themarketplace.

The Cardinals released safety TyrannMathieu when they couldn’t rework hisdeal.

The Ravens cut receiver JeremyMaclin. The Lions said goodbye to tightend Eric Ebron. The Steelers tore up asecondary that often was torn up byopposing quarterbacks, releasing MikeMitchell, Robert Golden and WilliamGay.

But the Panthers had more successwith a veteran, completing a one-yeardealwith defensive end Julius Peppers.

Peppers, 38,whocontemplatedretire-ment after 17 pro seasons, remains withthe Panthers for $5 million, with$2.5 million guaranteed.

“I am fired up to have him back,”Panthers coachRonRivera said.

The Browns, meanwhile, did nothingmore than listen to one of their greatestplayers, tackle Joe Thomas, announcehis retirement. The Browns save his$10.3 million salary for 2018 and a$3 million bonus but lose their bestplayer and leader in the expansion era(1999-present), a 10-timeProBowler.

“This was an extremely difficultdecision but the right one forme andmyfamily,” Thomas said. “Playing in theNFL has taken a toll on my body and Ican no longer physically compete at thelevel I need to.”

In othermoves:■ The 49ers agreed to a four-yearcontract with running back JerickMcKinnon and a five-year deal withcenter/guardWeston Richburg. McKin-non replaces departing starter CarlosHyde, and Richburg could start any-where in the interior line.■ The Giants agreed with offensivetackle Nate Solder, formerly of thePatriots, to become their starter on theleft side. Solder, 29, will get a four-yearcontract worth about $62 million. TheGiants can move 2015 first-round pickEreck Flowers to the right side as theyrebuilda line thathasstruggledforyears.■ TheTitanskeptrightguardJoshKlineand defensive end David King with newcontracts after making a splash in freeagency by getting Butler for $60 millionover five years and also taking runningbackDionLewis away from thePatriots.■ The Bills restocked their quarterbackposition by agreeing to a two-yearcontract with AJMcCarron. McCarron,27, spent the last four seasonsbackingupAndy Dalton in Cincinnati after theBengals selected him in the fifth roundof the 2014 draft. McCarron’s signingcame five days after the Bills tradedthree-year starter Tyrod Taylor to theBrowns. The trade left 2017 fifth-roundpick Nathan Peterman as the onlyquarterback on the roster. The Bills alsoadded defensive end Trent Murphyfrom theRedskins and got a neededpassrusher.■ Five-time Pro Bowl defensive tackleNdamukong Suh officially was releasedby the Dolphins after the trades toacquire defensive endRobert Quinn andsend receiver Jarvis Landry to theBrowns were formalized.

Teams showthey’ve gotsome movesBy BarryWilnerAssociated Press

The Super Bowl of sports betting isnot actually the Super Bowl.

Sure, some of your friends can bragabout getting Devin Hester at 30-1 toscore the first touchdown in Super BowlXLI. And the guy crying in his spinachdip after being stuck with 2-2 in thesquares pool will never forget theEagles-Patriots halftime score of 22-12.

But March Madness crushes theSuper Bowl with its variety of ways tocash in and crap out. Perhaps you’realready up a few bucks after underdogSt. Bonaventure jettisonedUCLA. If youtook the Bonnies on the money line for$100, you’re $155 richer. If you parlayedthemwithRadford, take a bow.

The American Gaming Associationestimates thatmore than $10 billionwillbebetduringMarchMadnesscomparedwith $4.7 billion on the Super Bowl.

America loves its brackets. The win-ner of ESPN’s free contest will receive a$10,000 Amazon gift card and a trip to2018 Maui Invitational. Warren Buffettonce offered $1 billion for a perfectbracket, which is less likely than grassgrowing onPluto.

The real money these days is inCalcutta auctions. Gentlemen of a cer-tain tax bracket have been gathering inChicago this week to purchase teams,some combining the festivities with anearly St. Patrick’sDay celebration.

“Abig testosteronenight,” onepartici-pant put it.

Atoneareagolf club, theprizepool forthe last Calcutta hit $185,000.

Needless to say, the auctions areconducted behind closed — and some-times locked—doors.

“No one wanders in off the street,”another participant joked.

Here’s how itworks:People can fly solo but instead tend to

form consortiums. Groupthink meansless glory but can ease the pain.

Each round offers a set payout,typicallyabout 1percent fora first-roundvictory and 2 percent for a round of 32win. So assuming a $100,000 prize pool,you’d get $1,000 for a first-round winand an additional $2,000 if your teamreaches the Sweet 16. Figure about$8,000 for a Final Four appearance and$18,000 for the champion.

Let’s say you love Villanova. If youfigure theWildcats arebetter than50-50to reach the Final Four, would you bid$9,000?

What would you bid on Ohio State,which would have to beat South DakotaState and perhaps Gonzaga to reach theSweet 16?

To attract interest in the bottomdwellers, the lowest seeds are packaged.Are the four 13-seedsworth a grand?

An ESPN the Magazine story de-scribed apool that pays anice chunk—4percent — for the team that suffers thegreatest blowout loss. That’s a brilliantway to beef up the prize pool.

Anotherway:Have a reroll.Let’s say you’ve purchased Michigan

State for $6,000. Another consortium,given a mulligan, wants to buy theSpartans for $8,000. Should you matchthe $8,000 to retain them?SomeCalcut-tas allow the original bid winners to sellthe teamand keep the $2,000profit.

The local favorites this year areLoyola, Butler and the Big Ten entries.Whichmeans somewill be overvalued.

Some consortiums bring enough lap-tops to pose as an IT department. Thewebsite fivethirtyeight.com has round-by-roundwin projections for each team.It has Villanova at 67 percent to reachthe Elite Eight, 50-50 to make the FinalFour and 18 percent towin it all.

Other groups favor newspaper clip-pings and scratch paper.

If you’re not in a Calcutta, here areotherways to, shallwe say, invest:

Capture pool: Participants are ran-domly awarded teams — and theyadvance by beating the spread. Let’s saythe pool has 32 entrants and you getPurdue and Providence. The Boilers arefavored by 21 over Cal State Fullerton. Ifthey win by 21 or more — favorites winon a “push”— youwin somemoney andretain Purdue for the next round.

The Friars are 31⁄2-point underdogsagainst Texas A&M. Let’s say they loseby a bucket. You then “capture” the slotand go forward with Texas A&M. Eachvictory pays out a predetermined sum.

Survivor pool: Pick a winning teameach day. But you can’t pick the sameteam twice. If you survive nine days,you’re in the championship game.

Odds: Think Purdue can run the table?Bovada.lv is offering the Boilers at 12-1.Loyola is 200-1. Same for Butler.

Props: SportsBettingDime.com offerssomenovelones:oddsofaGraysonAllentechnical foul: 9-1; over/under on game-winning buzzer-beaters: 21⁄2; odds atournament-team player, coach or par-ent is arrested by the FBI during thetournament: 75-1.

Beatingbuzzers —and oddsCalcuttas provide profitableoptions for March Madness

By Teddy GreensteinChicago Tribune

AnNFL source saidWednesday nighttheBears are believed to be shopping Sims,amove that surely has a timetable attachedto it if the teamdoesn’twant to be on thehook for that base salary guarantee. Theyprobably can’t getmuch in return consider-ing Sims’ salary, but there’s a shortage ofaccomplished blocking tight ends on themarket and generalmanagerRyanPacemight find a taker.

If not, the question becomeswhethercoachMattNagy in his newoffense has asufficient role for Sims and 2017 second-rounddraft pickAdamShaheen. It’s not adebate betweenBurton,who is a passcatcher, and Sims. It’swhether theBearshave amplework for Sims and Shaheenand if the presence of Simswill limit op-portunities for Shaheen to flourish.

Nagy brought theChiefs offensewithhim toHalasHall, but it’s not going to beidentical. It can’t be, andhe already hasacknowledged that, saying theBears aregoing to tailorwhat they do to thestrengths of the personnel.

Still, it’s exciting to think about Burtonbeing utilized theway theChiefs useTravis

Kelce, themain cog in their passing attackfor several years.

TheChiefs ranked seventh in theNFLlast season in using “12 personnel”—onerunning back, two tight ends and twowidereceivers— and that amounted to 239snaps (24 percent). EnvisionBurton beingon the field for themajority of the snaps in12 personnel for theBears this comingseason and then try to figure how theyemploy Sims,whose strength is run block-ing, and Shaheen.

While Burton is an F tight end, ormovetight end, Sims is a Y tight end,meaninghe’s typically at the end of the line of scrim-mage andutilized as a blocker. Shaheen isalso aY tight end. TheBears, in defendingthe $18million, three-year contract Simsreceived, said he had the athletic ability tobemore dynamic as a receiver thanhe hadbeen for theDolphins. That didn’t happenas Sims had 15 receptions for 180 yards andone touchdown in 14 games.

TheBears remain high on Shaheen andbelieve he transitionedwell fromDivisionIIAshland during his rookie season, anadjustment period that ought to provide aspringboard for significant improvementthis year. Sometimes for young players to

blossom, a teamneeds to clear a path tomore playing time, and that could be thecase here.

If theBears have Sims and Shaheen onthe roster, there are going to be a lot ofsnapswhere either a $6million player or asecond-rounddraft pick is standing on thesideline, and that’s difficult to justify even ifthe teamhas the cap space to accommo-date Sims.

Regardless ofwhat happenswith Sims,last year’s free agent classwas a remarkablefailure for theBears. That doesn’tmeantheir ballyhooed class this year— the teamwill introducewide receiversAllenRob-inson andTaylorGabriel, Burton, quarter-backChaseDaniel and kickerCodyParkeyonThursday—will stumble.

Reaction around the league is theBearshave done verywell for themselves.There’s reason to believe this collection ofsigningswill have amajor impact, andthere’s reason to believe theBears areinterested in clearing space on the depthchart to promote Shaheen’s role alongsideBurton.

The Bears prioritized familiarityWednesday in agreeing to terms withveteran quarterback Chase Daniel to backupMitchTrubisky.

In the connect-the-dots world of freeagency, Daniel was an obvious choice. Thecareer backup was with the Saints from2010-12whenBears generalmanagerRyanPacewasahigh-rankingscout there,andhewas with the Chiefs from 2013-15 whilecoachMattNagywas an assistant there.

Daniel, 31, is a proven commodity in asupport role, and his familiarity with Nagyand the schemeNagyplans to install shouldhelp Trubisky. However, as an NFL player,Daniel is farmore unproven than theBears’other options for an insurance policybehind their franchise quarterback.

In eight seasons, Daniel has started onlytwice and thrown only 78 passes and onetouchdown. Despite all that time on thesideline, he has been paid more than $24million, an indication of how teams havevaluedhim in their quarterback room.

Daniel’s two-yearcontractwiththeBearsis worth up to $10 million, guarantees him$7 million and is voidable after one year,NFLNetwork reported.

The Bears also announced what waslearned Tuesday night: They have agree-ments on free-agent contracts with widereceivers Allen Robinson (reportedlythree years, $25 million) and TaylorGabriel (reportedly four years, $26 mil-lion), tight end Trey Burton (reportedlyfour years, $32 million) and kicker CodyParkey (reportedly four years, $15million).

Reward collected: Signed to a new deal,Sam Acho thinks he proved himself to beworth more than the league minimum in2017.

After playing on one-year deals with theBears the last three seasons,Acho thisweekreceived a two-year, $7.5 million contract,with $3million guaranteed as the Bears trytomaintaincontinuityonadefensethatwas10th in the NFL in yards allowed per game.

The 29-year-old outside linebacker let hisyounger brother Emmanuel break thenews onTwitter.

Inhis third seasonwith theBears andhisseventh in theNFLin2017,Achosaidhe feltlike he proved himself to be more than aspecial teams contributor while starting 12games. He totaled 45 tackles and threesacks — both his best with the Bears — andserved as a solid part of the Bears’ rundefense.

“I knew I could play, but I finally had togo prove it on the field,” Acho said. “Thisnew deal, what it means, and even myperformance last year, it just feels like aglimpse about what I can do. … For me, itwas a confidence boost.Last year justpointed to a glimpse ofwhat’s to come.”

Acho was with Bears Chairman GeorgeMcCaskeyvisiting aprison inLouisianaona church trip as he awaited a new contract.But he declined to speak with McCaskeyabout the negotiations, knowing generalmanager Ryan Pace handles them andsaying he wanted to leave the result up toGod.

“I will say when he found out the news,hewas one of the happiest people out thereforme,” Acho said.

Thin line:DefensiveendMitchUnrein leftthe Bears for the Buccaneers and athree-year deal worth more than $10million, including $3.5million guaranteed.

To appreciate how valuable the hard-working Unrein was to the Bears’ basedefense over the last two seasons, considerthat his presencehas kept 2016 third-roundpick Jonathan Bullard out of the startinglineup. Unrein played 48 percent of thedefensive snaps last season until he missedthe final four games with a knee injury. Hecould anchor against the run, and histenacity resulted in a career-high 21⁄2 sacksin 2017. His departure opens a starting spotfor Bullard, but the Bears will need toreplace that depth.

Dan McNeil returned to WSCR-AM 670 forthe first time since the summer of 2014 onWednesday, acknowledging he knows he has toprove to people — in the audience and at thestation— that he can behave.

Thenhe talkedwithhisnew1-6p.m.broadcastpartner, Danny Parkins, about legalizing mari-juana and pooling money for the show to betonline on baseball and theNCAA tournament.

“We’re going to give it a shot,” McNeil toldParkins, 31,who grewup in theChicago area andinterned forMcNeil a decade ago.

McNeil’s third stint at The Score was madeofficial Wednesday morning. Also official is thereturn of ConnorMcKnight, whowill teamwithDan Bernstein from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. MikeMulligan and Brian Hanley will continue toanchorweekdaymornings from5-9 a.m.

“There are people on the staff here who havereservations, and rightfully so,” McNeil said. “Ihave earned those reservations because therehave been times over the last seven, eight yearswhen I have ... drifted and have not been 100percent.”

McNeil, a 30-year-plus veteran of Chicagoradio, has a reputation for run-ins with manage-ment, sometimes followed by suspensions. Healso has been candid about his addiction toprescription drugs and battlewith depression.

Since his last go-round at The Score, McNeilhad a 16-month run as a morning host on musicstation WDRV-FM 97.1. Last year he launched apodcast because he realized he missed talkingsports, andhe sounded grateful at the openof hisnew showWednesday for this latest opportunity.

“I understand those reservations,” McNeilsaid. “I’ll deal with that to the best ofmy abilitiesby ignoring itwhile also beingmindful.”

Spiegel, who was first McNeil’s and thenParkins’ partner on The Score, told the Tribunehe’s thankful to the station for keeping him on asa substitute host and for honoring the two-yearcontract he signed inDecember.

Inhisnew“bullpen”role,hesaidhewill “fill inon any and all shows including evenings,” writebaseball columns for the website and possiblymake other baseball-related contributions.

Regarding his former show, Spiegel said: “I’llsay this, our show was very good and gettingbetter. Our ratings were very solid and gettingbetter. … I refuse to be cynical. … I do believegood, hardwork andpositivity gets rewarded.”

CALENDARApril 7: Last day of regular season.April 11: Playoffs begin.


This seasonwent nowherefast for theBlackhawks aftergoalie CoreyCrawfordwas puton injured reserve.

Next season promisesmoreof the same for theHawks ifCrawford isn’t 100 percentrecovered fromwhat the teamhas termed an “upper-body”injury, reportedly concussion-related.

Which brings us back to thisseason,whichwill be lostwhether or notCrawford comesback.

At this point,what’s the pointof his return?

There are 12 games left beforetheHawks begin their earliestsummer vacation in 10 seasons.

Crawfordhasn’t been on theice since Feb. 12,whenhe faceda few shots and spentmost ofthe team’smorning skate as aspectator.

Itwould takeCrawford atleast aweek to 10 days to getback into game shape. The riskof playing a game or twohardlyseemsworthwhatever rewardmight comewith it.

“We’re talking about that,”Hawks coach JoelQuennevillesaid after practiceWednesday.“We’d like to saywewere opti-mistic then andnowwe’re notas optimistic, because not asmany games (left in the season)and it’s a tighter schedule. Butwe’ll continue to see.”

Andwe’ll likely continue tohear the same things over andover from theHawks regardingCrawford’s status.

A charade of “we’ll sees” and“status quos” and “no news” and“hopefullywe’ll get himback onthe ice soons” until finally timewill deemhis return improb-able, if not impractical.

SurelyQuenneville is tired ofrepeating the same old lines.

Answering questionsmoredirectlywould seem tomake alotmore sense. But that’s not theway theBlackhawks do things.

Quenneville said he didn’twant to “get into details”whenasked for specifics aboutCraw-ford’s condition in lateDecem-ber, adding he expected him tobe out indefinitely.

Quenneville didn’twant to“get into that part of it” threeweeks later, either,whenhewasaskedwhether teamdoctorswere treatingCrawford.

In early February, Quen-neville said “wedon’t discussinjuries,” a dangerous stanceapproved by theNHLbut notfollowed by every team.

The Stars andRedWings areamong several teams that aremore transparent about injuries.Sometimes players themselvesare open about it, such aswhentheMaple Leafs’ AustonMatthews revealed hemissedsix games this season because ofa concussion. TheCapitals’ T.J.Oshie did the samewhenhe hadthe same injury.

Crawford has spokenpubliclyjust once, after hewasmostly aspectator for thatmorning skateinArizona onFeb. 12, since hewas put on injured reserveDec.27.

Andhe said prettymuchnothing.

“Not bad,” he saidwhenaskedhowhe felt. “It’s a processto get to a pointwhere I can getinto a game. It’s still lookinggood.”

Now it just looks pointless.It stands to reason theHawks’

early optimismaboutCrawford’spossible returnwas in goodfaith. The teamdidn’t place himon long-term injured reserve.They gave it awhirl on the ice inArizona inmid-February.

But the efforts, so far, havebeen fruitless.

One thingQuenneville hasn’tdenied is that theHawks havemissedCrawford this season,the first in 10 the teamwillmissthe playoffs. And the same easilycould hold true next season ifthis injury turns out to bemorelong-term than the team initiallythought.

It’s not likeAll-StarNo. 1goalieswith two StanleyCupson their resumes are out therefor the taking.

“He’s been arguably our keyplayer all year, and the consis-tency he’s given us in the net,weknowhowvaluable the positionis andwhat itmeans to yourteam,”Quenneville said. “It’salmost like, ‘OK, that’s a tremen-dous hole.’ ”

Thehole this season alreadyhas been filled in.Nouse inputting any dirt on next seasonnow.

BLACKHAWKS

Point of no returnfor Crawford nowBringing veteran goaltender back this yearwould be worthless with Hawks’ season lost

Paul SkrbinaOn the Blackhawks

Corey Crawford hasn’t playedsince Dec. 23, reportedlybecause of a concussion.


Jets winger Patrik Laine hasbeen pretty far out this season.

The 19-year-old is second inthe NHL with 41 goals, 16 ofwhich have come in his last 13games.

Not to mention he has scored23 goals in his last 27, plus sevenassists.

While his pace has beeneye-opening, the distance fromwhere Laine is scoring — anaverage of more than 30 feetfrom the net — caught theattention of Blackhawks captainJonathanToews.

“I saw a stat the other day,something about the averagedistance from the net that hescores his goals from is wayabove what everyone else in theleague is able to do,” Toews said.“When you can beat goaltendersfrom way out like that, with noscreens and no obstruction, itsays a lot about your ability toshoot the puck.

“When a guy like that, withthat ability, gets confident, youcan seewhat he can do.”

The Hawks hope they don’tseewhat Laine can do Thursdaywhen they will face the Jets inWinnipeg.

In 143 career games, thesecond overall pick in the 2016draft has 77 career goals — thethird most by a teenager inleague history behind Jimmy

Carson (92) and Dale Hawer-chuk (85).

Laine trails the Capitals’AlexOvechkin by one for the leaguelead and is on a team-record13-game point streak. Laineleads the NHL with 18 power-play goals.

“It seems when he releases it,in the blink of the eye it’s in theback of the net,” Hawks forwardPatrick Kane said. “It’s prettyimpressive the way he can pickhis spots all the time. You see allof his goals, they’re rocket shotsinto places hewants it to go.”

One-timers: Nick Schmaltzdid not practiceWednesday, butHawks coach Joel Quennevillesaidhewas “fine” forThursday’sgame. … Forward AnthonyDuclair, who suffered a leginjury against the Bruins onSaturday, isn’t expectedtoreturnuntilMarch 24 at the soonest.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Jets’ teenage sensationLaine impresses HawksBy Paul SkrbinaChicago Tribune

BLACKHAWKS AT JETSTV/radio: 7 p.m. Thursday; NBC-SCH, WGN-AM 720.Storylines: The Jets have lostseven players to injury sinceMarch 6, and have had playersmiss 231 games this seasonbecause of injury or sickness.Trending: The Jets are 6-3-1 intheir last 10 and are in secondplace in the Central Division with92 points. … Jonathan Toews hasthree goals and six assists in hislast six games.

BULLS

NeitherLauriMarkkanen northe Bulls showed concern aboutany long-term issues regardingMarkkanen’s balky back.

“It’s muscular, not structural,”coachFredHoiberg said.

Nevertheless, the short-termsituation resulted in Markkanenstaying in Chicago onWednesdayas the team traveled to Memphis,Tenn.

Thursday’s game against theGrizzlies will mark the secondstraight missed by Markkanenand fifth overall. It’s also thefourth time dating to last sum-mer’s EuroBasket tournamentthat the Finnish forward hasexperienced back spasms.

“Kindofannoying,”Markkanensaid. “It’s probably my body notbeing used to playing so manygames. Something I’ve got to getused to. Most of the time I feelgood, but then sometimes it justhits, like, sharp.”

Hoiberg, who said the initialplan is to start Noah Vonleh forthe second straight game, knowsthiswill bean importantoffseasonforMarkkanen.

“Hedoesobviouslyneed togainstrength,”Hoiberg said. “Thatwillbe the biggest thing he’ll have towork on in the offseason.”

Point, counterpoint: By all ac-counts, Jerian Grant did nothingto losehisbackuppointguardspotcoming out of the All-Star break.Management merely wanted totake a look atCameronPayne.

Now that Payne has showedsome promise, who projects to beKris Dunn’s backup for nextseason?

“I don’t know. It’ll be fun tohave competition,” Hoiberg said.“Jerian has given us really goodminutes. He’s really grown as aplayer, especially on the defensiveend as far as his positioning. AndCam is making a lot of improve-ments. We’re probably at somepoint going to give him closing

minutes to see what he can dounder pressure and see how hehandles that role.”

Payne credited Grant for help-ing himdespite losing his job.

“A lot of guys don't have theheart do stuff like that,” Paynesaid. “I really appreciate Jerian fordoing that. It's obviously tough forhim. But we're real cool guys. Wehave a good friendship.”

Layups: Hoiberg said they’veworked on improving ZachLaVine’s transition defense:“When you don’t get the call, youstill have to sprint back. You’redoingyour teammatesadisservicewhen you don’t.” … Markkanenarrived for training camp with abuzzcut.Now,hehasa full, floppy,shaggy look and warned of more.“Just wait until after the summer,”he said. “You’ll see.”

BULLS AT GRIZZLIESTV/radio: 7 p.m. Thursday; WGN-9, WSCR-AM 670.Storylines: Lauri Markkanen will miss his second straight game withback issues. Markkanen scored 22 points in the Bulls’ nine-point homevictory against the Grizzlies last week.Trending: The Grizzlies have lost 18 straight, including last week’smeeting with the Bulls. These teams have split the two-game series forfour consecutive seasons.

BULLS NOTES

Markkanen’s back keeps him at homeBy K.C. JohnsonChicago Tribune

GiveZachLaVine credit.Whenever he talks about the

upcoming offseason, hementionshis goal of adding to his game andhis excitement for being able toplay basketball rather than reha-bilitate a knee injury.

He nevermentions the genera-tionalwealth he’s almost certainto acquire.

“That stuffwill take care ofitself,” LaVine said.

Between the likely addition oftwo first-roundpicks and amplesalary-cap space, the offseasonwill bemore compelling thananything that transpires over theBulls’ final 15 games. Andno storyis likely to bemore intriguingthanLaVine’s impending re-stricted free agency.

When the deadline to extendhis rookie contract passed lastOctober, bothLaVine andman-agement said all the right things.And it’s true theBulls didn’t tradeJimmyButler to theTimber-wolveswithLaVine as the center-piece of the return haul to let himwalk.

But how the two sides findcommonground could be fasci-nating after LaVine’s projected35-game stint—he’s scheduled to

miss one gameof each of theirthree remaining back-to-back sets— that has featured the up-and-downplay consistentwith return-ing froman 11-month absence.Particularly for a franchise that,historically, has valued long-termsecurity overmaximumdollars inprevious restricted free-agentsituations.

Coincidentally, themost fa-mous example is Butler’s. Theformer 30th overall pick famouslybet on himself inOctober 2014whenhe rejected theBulls’ four-year, $44million offer. Eightmonths and anNBAMost Im-provedPlayer award later, Butlersigned a five-year, $95millionextension.

If negotiations don’t gowell,LaVine holds the right to playnext season onhis $4.4millionqualifying offer— although thatcertainly feels like a far-fetchedscenario for a playerwith a tornACL in his past.

Plus, there’s certainly incentivefor theBulls to signLaVine thissummer. They can do so afterstarting the offseasonwith his caphold of $9.6million on the books,make their other offseasonmovesand then sign himwith his newnumber for 2018-19.

Plus, as few as four teams proj-ect even to have enough salary-cap space to offer LaVine amaxcontract,whichwould start near$25million based on salary-capprojections.With an expectedcautious climate in free agency,theBulls could negotiate fromaposition of strength.

It should be noted theBullshave repeatedly said they plan tore-signLaVine to a long-termdeal. Furthermore, executive vicepresident JohnPaxson down-played expectations for LaVine’sproductionwhenmanagementand themedical staff cleared himfor hismid-January return.

“My expectations are just to gethimback in the flowof playingbasketball,” Paxson said then.“There are no expectations interms of howhe’s going to play. Ifhemisses shots, so be it.”

LaVine, too, has embracedhisrole as one of the faces of thefranchise.He even chose to at-tend summer league to supporthis new franchise.

“Iwant to be here for a long,long time,” he said on the eve oftraining camp.

TheBulls have a longstanding,professional relationshipwithLaVine’s representatives, back tothe days of JayWilliams.Never-theless, negotiations almost al-ways encounter somebumps.

LaVine, 23, has leverage in hisage, talent and standing as themain acquisition from theButlertrade. TheBulls have leverage inthat LaVine is a restricted freeagent in a summer that isn’tprojected to be filledwith funnymoney.

Following this offseason’sproceedings should bemorecompelling than, say, Thursday’sBulls-Grizzlies tilt.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. —They all remember the dirt.

WithTimTebowand theClass A St. Lucie Metscoming to town last year,the Florida Fire Frogs ran apromotion that allowedfans to purchase a packagethat included game-useddirt.

Yes, that’s right, a bottleof dirt from the field wherethe legendary Floridaquarterback played base-ball.

Not a jersey. A bottle ofdirt.

A marketing ploy so out-rageous it still elicits amaze-ment from those whoplayedwithTebowlastyear.

Welcome to minor-league baseball starring oneof the world’s most famousathletes.

“That was pretty wild,”pitching prospect JohnnyMagliozzi saidof thedirt forsale. “A little odd.”

Playing with Tebow wasa one-of-a-kind experiencefor his Class A teammateslast year. Tebow’s arrivalgalvanized crowds acrossthe SouthAtlantic andFlor-ida State leagues, and theformer NFL quarterbackwon over teammates withhis legendarywork ethic.

“In my opinion, not justbecauseofwhathedoes inabaseball uniform,” Metscaptain David Wright said,“but I think he’s the mostfamous person to wear aprofessional baseball uni-formnow.”

Tebow’s presence in theminors has been scruti-nized since the moment hesigned with the Mets in2016 and continues to be adebate two years later.

Some purists argue he’sstealing a roster spot from amore deserving prospect.Others, such as Mets gen-eral manager Sandy Alder-

son, note that baseball isentertainment, and thereare few athletes withTebow’s celebrity status.

Those who shared club-houseswith Tebow inClassA were complimentary ofthe outfielder and enjoyedthe memorable experienceit provided for them in theinitial stages of their ca-reers.

The consensus amongthose who played withTebow, prospects and es-tablished major-leaguersalike, is he is a hard workerand a genuinely nice per-son. He didn’t reek of arro-gance or try to big-time histeammates. Tebow was justone of the guys trying tomake the majors, albeitmore famous than the oth-ers.

When his teammatesribbed him, Tebow didn’tcare they had a laugh at hisexpenses. Reliever TylerBashlor and starter AndrewChurchgoofedonTebowbywearing Tebow shirseys(jersey T-shirts worn byfans) during warm-ups oneday. Tebow later obligedwhen Bashlor asked for anautographed shirt for hismother.

Magliozzi, an unher-alded prospect with a repu-tation as an instigator, nee-dled Tebow by runningroutes in theoutfieldas ifhewere a receiver, and Tebowwouldhit him in stridewiththe baseball. Magliozzi alsoboasts of his undefeatedrecord against Tebow inpingpong.

Tebow laughed while re-calling how one teamplayed a montage of theworst moments of his ca-reer on the jumbo videoscreen throughout thegame.

“I didn’t think he hadthat rock-starmentality,” St.Lucie teammate PeterAlonso said. “He rode thebus like the rest of us. Hewasn’t chartering planesacross the state or anything.Being Tim Tebow, he’sprobably the most famousminor-league baseball play-

er, but he was like a normalteammate.”

Tebow also showed histeammates thathe intendedto give it his all, which goesa long way considering thewidespreadquestionsaboutwhyTebow is attempting toplay baseball.

“He’s one of the hardestworkers I’ve seen, and itmotivates you,” said catch-ing prospect PatrickMazeika, a teammate at St.Lucie. “You want to be abetter person, better player.Everything.”

Wright admitted he didnot know what to expectfrom Tebow, but thequarterback won him overby being at the complexabout eight hours before agame to work on his swing.That indicated to WrightthatTebow truly is commit-ted to baseball andwants tosee where this voyage takeshim.

During the games,Tebow asked Wright forhitting tips and what henoticed with certain pitch-ers.

Michael Conforto, whoplayed one game withTebow last year, also notedTebow’s eagerness to learn.Tebow wasn’t just showingup, getting his at-bats andleaving. He wanted to getbetter at his craft.

“I don’t think I had toprove extra,” Tebow said.“It’swho I amandhowI trytogoaboutmy lifeandworkand everything I do. It’s nottrying to prove but get toknow them for who theyare,who I am.”

Tebow has really madefans in the clubhouse, as theyoung players have turnedhim into their personal fan-tasy football cheat sheetandNFLdatabase.

Baseball players tend tobe avid football fans — theyenjoy fantasy football likethe rest of America. Butunlike the public, they haveaccess to a former HeismanTrophy winner, althoughTebow admits he doesn’tknow how fantasy footballworks other than knowing

howgood a player is.Alonso, a fellow Florida

alumnus, asked Tebowabout fellow Gators playerssuch as Percy Harvin andthe Pouncey twins. Othersasked Tebow about whichplayer hit him the hardest.What are the memoriesfrom taking down the Steel-ers in that classic 2012playoff game? Tell us aboutyour speech after the OleMiss loss.WhichNFL play-er is the strongest? Should Itrade this player from myfantasy squads?

It just so happened thatTebow seemed to haveplenty of teammates whorooted for one particularteam: the Patriots. Cue theTom Brady and Bill Beli-chick questions.

“Somehow we’ve had alot of Patriots fans in thislocker room,” Tebowlaughed. “They’d all ask meabout being with Brady,playing against him, theplayoff game we lost tohim.”

As Tebow fit in withinthe clubhouse, he alsohelped make the gamesmore enjoyable for histeammates since thousandsof fans filled stadiums towatchhisattempt tomake itto themajors.

Tebowplayed forColum-bia andSt. Lucie last season,andhis teammates includedhigh draft picks and lower-round choices who willnever make the majors. At-tendance is usually sparsefor those games inwhat canbe oppressive weather.Tickets are easy to comeby.

When Tebow arrived inPort St. Lucie, First DataField became the place tobe. The crowds had moreenergy. The atmosphere re-sembled that of a collegegame.

“I’m not sure if you’vebeen to a Florida StateLeague game,” Alonso said.“There’saboutsevenpeoplein the stands that are notscouts or girlfriends or fam-ily. It’s not an exact number,but very, very sparse.Whenhe got there, it was really,

really awesome to play infront of people.”

St. Lucie set an attend-ance record last year bynearly 27,000 fans, averag-ing more than 2,000 fansper game. Three opponentsalso set game attendancerecords last year whenTebow came to town. Saywhat you want aboutTebow’s abilities as an out-fielder or at quarterback,but he’s a hit at the boxoffice.

“I’d be comfortableputting anybody up againsthim, and Tim having abetter following and fanbase,” said Wright, whoplayed three games with St.Lucie. “It’s no knock onanybody in here. Anybodyon a major-league rehabassignment is the openingact for Tim, at least fromwhat I experienced.

“They should have gotTim a gift for (the attend-ance record).”

With the increasedcrowds came a rapidlygrowing interest, andTebow’s teammates recog-nized certain changes. Forstarters, Tebow’s presenceled to increased security.The players’ parking lot atFirst Data Field is easy tofind, and fans wait outsidethe gate after games duringspring training.

Last camp, a woman wasarrested for trespassingwho claimed to be in arelationshipwithTebow.

In addition to the“Tebow” dirt fans couldbuy, ticketswerealso sold toallow fans to watch battingpractice. It’s common to seefans line up in themajors towatch some of the greatsluggers get their swings inbefore games, but that’s notstandard procedure for theminor leagues. Wright hadnever seen that before in allhis years playing and rehab-bing in Port St. Lucie.

Tebow said the pregamefestivities, including thedirtpackages, made it difficultfor him to prepare for thatnight’s game since he triesto honor those who request

an autograph.Magliozzi noted how

Tebow always tried to signfor those whowaited for anautograph, no matter howdeep the crowd. Tebow hadto be pulled away fromgroups of fans at times lastspring training.

“That part was um, that’sfine, it just makes it a littleharder for me to go aboutthe work and was kind of alittle bit disappointing,”Tebow said. “(Batting prac-tice) lets us have our time toput in work and all thesefans, and they are all there,and if I don’t sign for them,they are expecting that andit puts me in a tough situa-tion a little bit. You want tobe nice, but this is an hourand a half before the gamewhenwe’vegot toput inourwork. It was a little toughersituation for me when thathappened.”

Tebow is now preparingfor his second season in theminors, and it’s possible hecouldarrive inFlushing thisSeptember. Alderson sayshe expects Tebow in themajors, and the outfielder’sfirst big-league gamewouldsurely have a capacitycrowd with so much in-trigue surroundinghis jour-ney.

He’ll likely start the yearwithDouble-ABinghamtonand try to impress his newgroup of teammates by ar-riving to the park early,while also giving them theNFL stories and fantasyadvice they crave.

Tebow may be the mostfamous player in minor-league baseball, but he’s stilljust a prospect trying tomake it, which especiallyrings true when it comes tobuying the postgamespread.

It still falls on establishedveterans in the minors toorder catering.

After all, despite his suc-cess in football, Tebow isstill just a baseball prospect.

“He’s going to buy it forthem every night,” Wrightsaid. “He’s playing downthere.”

As Tim Tebow chases his dreams in a second professional sport, his teammates say he has endeared himself to them by being just one of the guys despite his outsized popularity.

ORLANDO, Fla. — RodPampling has played theArnold Palmer Invitationalevery year since his rookieseason on the PGA Tour,and none of his five victo-ries worldwide was morerewarding than the one in2006atBayHillandsharingthat handshake with theKing.

That’s one reason Pam-pling regrets not being in-vited back this year.

“Iwent to the championsdinners with Arnold Pal-mer, and he always said ifyou’re an exempt player, asa past champion you’ll get aspot,”Pamplingsaid. “Itwasa great event to win and tohave your name on thattrophy. It’s disappointingnot to play.”

Pampling is not alone.Chad Campbell also did

not get in. He won at BayHill in 2004 and evenplayed the first two roundswith Palmer, opening with66-68 and thenmeeting the

King on the 18th greenwhen he rallied from afour-shot deficit with 12holes to play.

Tournament directorMarci Doyle says Palmer,who died in September2016, played a big role inexemptions. She says theArnold Palmer Invitationalnowhas a committee of five— presenting sponsor Mas-terCard, the tournament di-rector, Arnold Palmer En-terprises, the Palmer familyand a player representative— to sort through the longlist of requests for exemp-tions.

“It’s literally one of thehardest parts of my jobbecause you never haveenough exemptions,” Doylesaid. “So many guys are soworthy.”

Pampling said good playtakes care of all issues, andhe’s not upset with playerswho did receive them. Hisdisappointment was rootedin comments he heard fromPalmer over the years aboutthe treatment of previouschampions.

The exemptions rangefrom Padraig Harringtonand Graeme McDowell(who served as a host lastyear in the first tournamentwithout Palmer) to CurtisLuck, Stuart Appleby(runner-up to Campbell in2004), Smylie KaufmanandCodyGribble.

Pampling, Campbell and57-year-old Kenny Perryare the only Bay Hill win-ners over the last 20 yearswho are not playing. That’sa little skewed because Ti-ger Woods is back, and hehas won eight times since2000.

“We won during the Ti-ger era,” Pampling saidwitha laugh. “He won eightbloody times. Doesn’t thatmake our win even morespecial?”

What could have been:Mark Carnevale hasbittersweetmemories at theArnold Palmer Invitational,especially this year.

Carnevale, who nowworks as an on-course an-nouncer for PGA Tour Ra-

dio, played the tour formostof the 1990s. He had metPalmer when he was juststarting on the mini-toursthrough a friend who was amember at Bay Hill, andCarnevale played in a fewofthe shootouts.

“I saw a television inter-view in which Arnold toldthis story about his dadtelling him, ‘If this is whatyou want to do, put yourmind to it and you can doit,’ ” Carnevale said. “That’swhat kept me going in thisgame.”

This is the 25-year anni-versary of Palmer makinghis last cut on thePGATour— at Bay Hill, no less — andCarnevale remembers itwell.

It was the 1993 NestleInvitational, and the thirdround was tough on mosteveryone. Carnevale had apair of double bogeys and atriple bogey and shot 44 onthe front nine, then ralliedfor a 36 on the back for an80.

He was looking at thescores in the trailerwhenhe

realized he likely would beplaying with Palmer. Thatwould have been the firsttime. It wouldn’t be thefamous shootouts Palmerhad with a large group atBayHill, rather just the twoof them.

“I remember thinking,‘What a place for me tothankhimforwhere I am,’ ”Carnevale said.

But there was still golf tobe played, and Andy Beanwas still on the course. Thebadnews forCarnevalewasthat Bean bogeyed the 17th,which wrecked Carnevale’sdreampairing.

“Now I’m playing withAndy, and Iwasdistraught,”Carnevale said. “The wholetime I was telling him,‘Really? How many timeshave you got to play withArnold?’ That is one situa-tion I’ll never forget. Whoknew that would be his lastcut?”

Tiger memories: AdamScott had a good look atWoods at his best. He wasstill an amateur when he

played a practice round theSunday before Woods wentover toPebbleBeach for the2000 U.S. Open, and it wasso pure that Scott debatedwhether he should eventurn pro.

He understands howplayers who didn’t catchWoods in full flight mightnot understand the domi-nance.Thatmadehimthinkof a dinner last year withMartin Kaymer, who wonthe PGA Championship in2010 and the U.S. Open in2014.

“MartinKaymerwasask-ing, ‘Howwas he thatmuchbetter than everyone?’ ”Scott said.

Kaymer, a practicalthinker, won the 2014 U.S.Open by eight shots atPinehurst No. 2, which al-lowed Scott to offer a goodanalogy.

“I said, ‘Listen, you haveno idea. You won the U.S.Open by eight? He won bytwice thatmany.Hewon by15. So how good do youreckon you have to play todo that?’ ” Scott said.

GOLF NOTES

Past Arnold Palmer winners hardly feeling like kingsBy Doug FergusonAssociated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — TigerWoods spoke with senti-ment and respect until atwist at the end.

Woods hit safely onto thegreen during the openinground of the 2010 HSBCChampions in Shanghai,stepped to the side andlooked over at Ernie Elsshifting his hips to settlethat 6-foot-4 frame over hisshot.

“You know, I’ve probablybeen around this guy longerthan anyone on tour,”Woods said that day, per-haps reminiscing about hisfinal major as an amateur,the 1996 British Open atRoyal Lytham & St. Annes,when he sought out Els foradvice on whether to turnpro.

“And after all theseyears,” Woods said with ahint of a smile, “you stillforget just how (expletive)big he is.”

They both are giants forwhat they’ve done for theirsport, and they will becaptains of the PresidentsCup in 2019 at Royal Mel-bourne.

Els speaks as eloquentlyaboutWoods as anyone. Heis alwayshonest andusuallyright.

He just couldn’t keep upwith Woods, which was noshame.

No else could either.It was 20 years ago this

week at Bay Hill when thepotential for a rivalry stillexisted.

Woods staged the largestcomeback of his career inearly 1998 at the JohnnieWalker Championship inThailand. Starting the finalround eight shots behindEls, hewent out well beforethe last groups and posted a65, and then he beat Els onthe secondhole of a playoff.

Amonth later at BayHill,the South African hadwhathe described as his “day inthe sun.”

Because of rain delays,the final 36 holes were heldon Sunday. Woods andDavis Love III were tied forthe lead, joined in the finalgroup by Els, who was twoshots behind. Els got hisrevenge with a 65 in themorning, and he wound upbeating Woods by 10 shotsandLove by 11.

That was as close as ElsandWoods got as rivals.

Els has finished runner-up to Woods seven times,themost of any player. Thatincludes four times in 2000,twoof themmajors, threeofthose tournaments by acombined 28 shots.

It startedwith that titanicplayoff at Kapalua whenthey matched eagles on the72nd hole, birdies on thefirst playoff hole, and

Woods won with a 35-footputtdownhill, into thegrainwith about 2 feet of break.Els also was runner-up byfive shots at the Memorial,15shotsat theU.S.Openandeight shots at the BritishOpen.

It was at Kapalua whereEls uttered hismost famousline about Woods: “He’s 24.He’s probably going to bebigger than Elvis when hegets into his 40s.”

So it’s the Big Easy andElvis as captains for thenext Presidents Cup, amostexcellent fit.

In the short history ofthis event, no two players

delivered more exquisitedrama than Woods and Elsin 2003 at Fancourt inSouthAfrica.

Their nameswere placedin an envelope early Sundayincaseofa tie, andwhenthematches were 17-17, Woodsand Els faced off in suddendeath. With every putt, allthey could see was a clusterof blue shirts (Interna-tional) and red shirts (U.S.)as the entire teams sur-rounded every green.

Els had to make a 12-footputt on No. 1, the secondextra hole, to extend theplayoff. On the next hole,it was so dark they could

barely see the green 231yards away. Woods made adouble-breaking 15-footpar putt, a tough one tomake even in daylight. Elsfelt his legs shaking forthe first time over a putt,yethestillmanaged tomakehis 6-footer to halve thehole.

Moments later, the Presi-dents Cup was declared atie. Both were asked if thatwas as much pressure asthey had ever faced.

“I’d like to hear whatTiger says first,” Els saidwith a smile.

“Man, thatwas oneof themost nerve-wracking mo-

ments I’ve ever had in golf,”Woods replied.

This will be Woods’ firsttime as a captain. Thismight beEls’ last chance fora victory over him.

On the Sunday before Elswon his last major in 2012,he thought back to his firsttrip to Lytham in 1996. Elschipped away at an eight-shot deficit against TomLehman until being slowedby two late bogeys that heknewwould cost him.

He was in the clubhouse,needing Lehman to droptwo shots to have a chance.Before long, Els had com-pany.

Woods, who shot 66 inthe second round and tiedfor 22nd as a 20-year-oldamateur, joined him at thetable and began asking foradvice on turning pro.

“He was trying to figureout his future, and I wastryingto figureout if theguywas going to make doublebogey or not,” Els said.“Tom made par and Tigerturned pro. I was (cooked)eitherway.”

And thenhe laughed.With 57 victories and 54

runner-up finishes world-wide — seven of them toWoods — that easy smile isnever far away.

AUSTIN,Texas—The Southby SouthwestMusic FestivalrampedupTuesdaywith sometroublemakers fromRussia. PussyRiotwas in the house, and itwasn’t about to let anyone off thehook—Vladimir Putin, DonaldTrump, not even the festival itself.

Maskedmembers of the agit-punk collective took the stage andpinned a flagwith an explicitmessage across a festival banner.The grouphad to scrap its usualmultimedia show,which played aChicago residency in recent days.The festival “made it impossibleto showour videos,” the bandsaid. But the group—whichincluded aDJ, a vocalist and apair of dancers—made themostof its 40minutes,with an intro-duction provided by activistChelseaManning.

If nothing else, the band seemsto be inspired adversity; its pro-tests brought prison terms for a

couple ofmembers inRussia,whichhelped build aworldwidefollowing for the postfeministpunk band’smusic. Its SXSWsetwas equal parts vitriol and cele-bration. An openingmanifestothat addressed everything fromthe prison-industrial complex tovoting rightswas followed byagitated electro-rapworkouts andsomeoddly catchy pop tunes. “Igot thismicrophone towake youup,” they crooned.

Waving a flashlight and theirX-rated flag, these equal opportu-nity offenders— they rail againstbothTrump andPutin in theirsongs, speeches and interviews—made their idea of revolutionsound like a party. I couldn’t helpbut thinkwhat the late, greatWaxTrax labelwould havemade ofthese gleefullywicked chaos-mongers,whowould’ve beenright at home amid the theatricsof RevCo andMyLifeWith theThrill Kill Kult.

You couldn’t have dreamed amore appropriate act to follow

PussyRiot than Superchunk,which is coming off a ragingprotest album, “What aTime tobeAlive.” The veteranNorthCarolina quartet playedwithexuberance andmuscle.MacMcCaughan’s still-boyish voicebusted through the rhythm stormwhipped up by twin guitars andthe ace rhythm section of drum-mer JonWurster and bassist

JasonNarducy.McCaughanbrought added firepower by call-ing onAGiantDog singer SabrinaEllis, who reprised her guestvocal on “Break theGlass.”

The best newband of the nightwas Starcrawler, a quartet of LosAngeles teens that dished outswagger and feedback in three-minute blasts.With a ravenousrock trio at her back,willowy

singerArrowdeWilde cameonlike awild-eyed demon, andfinished the set by dancing on thebar, leaping into the arms of astranger and parading out theback exit into the night.

Dear Amy: I’m strugglingwith family drama.

Myhusband andmymomdonot get along,especially since our sonwas born.

Myhusband andmymother had a significantfight, andmymomrantedto her parents about it.Mygrandparents then toldmethatmyhusbandwas notwelcome at their house.

I opted to not attendholidays in support ofmyhusband.Mymom is notwilling to help fix thesituation she caused. Shealsowon’t defendme, asmy grandfather said somereallymean andun-founded things.My grand-parents didn’t attendmyson’s first birthday or firstChristmas, andwehaven’tspoken since.

I truly don’t knowwhere to go fromhere.Myrelationshipwithmygrandparents is nonexist-ent, andmy relationshipwithmyparents is declin-ing, as they have not shownme any support.What do Ido?

—It’s All TooMuch

Dear Too Much: Yourparents are alignedwithyour grandparents, pos-sibly for the same reasonthat you are alignedwithyour husband: They arefamily, and familymem-bers are expected to be inone another’s corners. Thisis an ancient dynamic, butit doesn’t absolve anyonefrom fault—or forgiv-eness.

Itmight be unrealistic ofyou to expect your folks toconfront their folks, just asyou aren’t confrontingyours. Don’t expect yourparents to defend you.Stand up for yourself.

You should reach out toall parties and simply ask

them to communicatewithyou in order to try to clearthe air. Say, “This drama ishurtingme. Iwant us tohave a peaceful, respectfulrelationship, and I’d reallylike to talk aboutwhat’sgoing on in order to try tomove forward.”

Youdon’t indicate thenature of this “significantfight” between your hus-band and yourmother, butyour husband also needs tobehave like a grown-upand accept any responsibil-ity for his role in this.

In-laws donot need tolike one another to have arelationship. They onlyneed to keep their eye onthe prize (family harmony,and peaceful andhealthyrelationshipswith thechildren). To reach thisgoal, they should learn totolerate each other, notbad-mouth one another toother familymembers, andresolve disputeswhen theyarise. If your grandparentsare comfortable cutting offyour family and refusing tosee their own great-grand-child (very sad), then youcould assume this dynamicgoes back at least a genera-tion.Don’t perpetuate it.

Dear Amy: Our next-doorneighbor, “Stan,” is a 50-year-oldwidowerwholives alone.

Stan is a great neighbor—helpful, dependable andrespectful. Lately, Stan hasbeen doing light yardworkwearing nothing but hisbikini-style briefs. I’mtalking underwear here.

When I toldmyhus-band about Stan’s attire, heshrugged it off.

Well, the other day Iwent overwhile Stanwaswearing his briefs andasked himwhyhe didn’twear swim trunks instead.He said that his swimsuit is

even skimpier thanhisunderwear, and that hewouldn’t feel rightwearingit in his yard.He said thatwhenhewears his veryskimpy swimsuit at thebeach, no one says aword.

I’mwondering if Stan isflirtingwith a legal issue.Your opinion?

—ConcernedNeighbor inOhio

Dear Concerned: “Stan”has a point. Unless there issome sort of lascivious or“exposing” behavior or anextra reveal accompanyinghis tighty-whities display, Idon’t think you shouldworry about it. You couldcheck your local ordinan-ces concerningwearingminimal clothing (such asa swimsuit), versus“underwear.”

Perhaps there are neigh-borhood parentswho areconcerned about this— ifso, they should take it upwith the town.

The biggest risk here, asfar as I can tell, is Staninjuring himselfwith thehedge trimmer.

Dear Amy: “Devoted butSadDaughter”waswon-dering about exposing herchildren to hermentally illmother. Before bringingthe kids for a short, super-vised visitwith hermother,perhaps she could test thewaterswith a video chat,or a series of them? If hermother doesn’t have thatsort of technology in herhouse, perhaps she knowssomeonewhodoes, or canhelp her gain access to it.

Dear Greg:Great idea.Thank you.

BenAffleck and JenniferGarner announced theywere breaking up in 2015, though they didn’t getaround to filing for divorce until April 2017.

But soon after, Affleckmore or lesswent publicwith his romancewithLindsay Shookus, a “SaturdayNight Live” producerwhomhemayhave startedseeingwhenhewas stillmarried toGarner.

But three years after that initial 2015 announce-ment, Affleck andGarner, both 45, have yet to finalizetheir divorce, raising the question:What’s taking solong?

Youknow it’s badwhen thequeenmakes less than the prince.

Actually, you already knew itwas bad. You’re reminded it’s badwhen you learn that lead actressClaire Foy (QueenElizabeth II)made less for herwork on theNetflix series “TheCrown” thanher co-star,Matt Smith,whoplays Prince Philip.

The show’s producers,SuzanneMackie andAndyHar-ries, admitted to the pay disparityduring an industry conferencethisweek and vowed to addressthe inequity.

“Going forward,”Mackie said,“no one gets paidmore than thequeen.”

Which doesn’t do Foymuchgood, since her character hasbeen recast for the show’s thirdand fourth seasons.

But could the rest of us lever-age it?

I calledEllenBravo, co-execu-tive director of FamilyValues@Work, a coalition that advocatesfor paid leave and equal pay forequalwork, and askedher:Should employees use “TheCrown” and other high-profileexamples of pay disparity—MichelleWilliams andMarkWahlberg in “All theMoney intheWorld,” TraceeEllis Ross andAnthonyAnderson on “Black-ish”— to advocate for equal payin their ownworkplaces?

In aword:Maybe.“If youhave a really good

relationshipwith the personwhoeither decides pay or advocates

for pay, then youmight bring thestory in and say, ‘Wow!Look atthis! Iwonder if that’s going onhere,’” Bravo said.

“One thingmost companiesdon’twant is to be in the head-lines as the company that had anegregious case like this,” she said.“If youhave that kind of relation-shipwith your supervisor, youmight say, ‘Howdowemake sureour company doesn’t end up inthe paper for this?’ ”

If your relationship is lesschummy, you’re better off using“TheCrown” and other recentheadlines as incentive to advo-cate for amore justworkplace…for everyone.

“The bestway to getwhat youneed for yourself is toworkwithothers on behalf of everyone,” shesaid. “Youwant to build a groupthat pushes the company towardobjectiveways ofmaking deci-

sions on pay. Pay should be basedon clear and fair and transparentcriteria—not because of yourgender or race or because yourdad plays golfwith theCEO.”

Scan yourworkplace for otheremployeeswho believe they areunderpaid in comparison to theircolleagues, she said. Ask yourcolleagues if they understandhow the company arrives at payandpromotion decisions.

“Startwith a group of peopleyou knoware like-minded andconcerned andwant to see some-thing done but don’t have anyidea how to do it on their own,”Bravo said.

Then find a higher-upwho’slikely to be friendly to the cause.

“Determinewho inmanage-ment—or someonewhohas agood read onmanagement; itcould be an executive secretary—could be an ally,” Bravo said.

“Who can you get ameetingwithwhowill help you championthis.”

Bravo said she often sits onpanelswithworkplace auditorswho analyze a company’s com-pensation structure anddeter-minewhether it’s fair. Some-times, she said,management isn’teven aware of the depth of acompany’s imbalance.

“Itmight be very surprising tothem to see, ‘Wow, look at this.All the highly paid people arewhite, and 90percent of themaremen.Obviously that’s not a re-flection ofmerit, so let’s find outwhat that is.’”

All too often, Bravo said, com-panies absolve themselves ofpaying their staff equally byputting the onus on individualemployees to negotiate the bestdeal.

“Your ability to negotiate your

pay should have nothing to dowith howmuch you get paid,”she said. “I could be thesmoothest talker in theworldand that is no reflection onwhatI provide to the company. And Icould be terribly shy and lackany strong skills at advocatingformyself, but that doesn’tmeanI’mnot a huge asset.

“We’ve created this narrative,”she continued, “thatwhatwom-en lack is negotiating skills andwe should teach them to negoti-ate and golf.When reallyweshould change the systemofhowpay is decided.”

Indeed, in response to “TheCrown” story, producer JuddApatow tweeted: “This is howTVworks. Peoplewho are get-ting a break anddon’t havequotesmake less than peoplewhodo. It is usually not aboutgender. It is often illogical. Sheshould have gotten that raise forsecond season for sure. Theyalwaysmake you fight an uglybattle for it.”

(Thanks, Judd!)The goodnews iswe’re finally

talking about the pervasive paygap and the assumptions andsystems that keep it in place.That gives Bravo (andme) somehope.

“#MeToo isn’t just aboutsexualmisconduct,” Bravo said.“It should be about all kinds ofinequity, andwe should use thatopening.

“We should alsomake surewe’re doing it as a group,” shesaid, “and thatwe’re putting ourheads together and rehearsingandmaking the best case thatwecan.”

There’s never been a bettertime.

Chicago ShakespeareThea-ter’s 2018-19 season features awhopping 14 productions—whichwill include theNorthAmerican premiere of JessicaSwale’s “Nell Gwynn,” a hitcomedy fromLondon’sWestEnd; a restaging of JoeDowl-ing’s famousGuthrieTheatreproduction ofWilliamShake-speare’s “AMidsummerNight’sDream”; a touring productionof theNational Theatre ofGreat Britain’s award-winningrevival of the thriller “An In-spectorCalls,” as famouslystaged by StephenDaldry;BarbaraGaines’ new,modern-dress production of Shake-speare’s “Hamlet”; and theworld premiere of a newmusi-cal version of theWaltDisneymovie “Bedknobs andBroom-sticks.”

Anothermajor production,the theater saidWednesday, isyet to be announced. By anystandards, this is a formidableseason, heavy on showswithdemonstrable audience appealand track records inLondonand elsewhere. It also activatesCST’s newest theater, TheYardatChicago Shakespeare,with anew familymusicalwith sup-port fromDisney andwithBroadway aspirations.

“Our season is all aboutoriginality andwonder,” saidGaines, the theater’s artisticdirector. CrissHenderson, thetheater’s executive director,noted the reach of the seasonand its ability to talk tomultiplepopular audiences. “I think it isvery different,” he said, “thanmost other seasons that getannounced.”

It is certainly far and awaythemost extensive, interna-tionalist and far-ranging of anyChicago theater.

CSTwill also stage threeshows fromBelgium in concertwithRichard JordanProduc-tions, a commercial producer.Those Flemish showshavebeen branded as a kind ofmini-season, Big in Belgium—Chi-cago.

Chicago Shakespearewillalso use its Pub for a shownextseason: “TwoPints,” a piecefrom Ireland’s AbbeyTheatre,penned byRoddyDoyle.

This summer, directorAm-berMakwill stage “Peter Pan,AMusical Adventure.” PennedbyElliotDavis from the bookbyWillisHall, this 75-minuteshowwill feature a score byGeorge Stileswith lyrics byAnthonyDrewe.

Formidable CSTlineup announced2018-19 season includes North Americanpremiere of ‘Nell Gwynn,’ Disney musicalBy Chris JonesChicago Tribune

In its four seasons, the scrappylittle storefront companyChicagoFringeOpera has ventured allover themap of contemporaryAmerican chamber opera. Sub-jects of its showshave rangedfroma transgenderwoman(LauraKaminsky’s “AsOne”), to afighter forwomen’s rights (MissyMazzoli’s “SongFrom theUp-roar”), to aWilliamBolcom sexfarce (“Lucrezia”), to PhilipGlass’ adaptation of FranzKafka’sshort story “In the Penal Colony.”

The troupe’s latest show,RossCrean’s “TheGreatGodPan,” initsworld-premiere staging at theChopinTheatre, is right up therewith the edgier operas it hasproduced. Crean, aChicago-based composer, singer and song-writer, based his libretto on theeponymous 1890Gothic novellabyWelsh authorArthurMachen,about a botched surgical experi-ment that unleashes theGreekgodPan onVictorian-era Lon-don. An epidemic of sexual hys-teria andmultiple suicides en-sues.

Elements of supernaturalhorror, devilworship, unfetteredpagan eroticism and guilt lurkjust below the surface ofCrean’stwo-act, 85-minute opera. Thereis next to no dramatic action. Aswith the libretto, themusicworksthrough the power of suggestion,creating a sensation ofmountingdread thatmirrorswhatCreanconsiders themost horrifyingaspect ofMachen’s book, in hiswords, “themystique of the un-seen.”

His text-driven vocalwriting,somewhat reminiscent of Ben-jaminBritten’s, sits atop pulsingminimalist patterns anddisso-

nant chordal outbursts at emo-tionally fraughtmoments fromthe twopianos that serve asCrean’s orchestra. The strings ofthe secondpiano are strummedandplucked so as to produceweirdwaves of resonant soundsuggestive of the netherworld.

Like composerAlexanderScriabin before him,Crean asso-ciates emotionswith colors hecreates fromgroups of pitches. In“TheGreatGodPan,” the colorsrepresenting Pan’smystical realmare at once sensuous and threat-ening. If there’s a shortcoming,it’s that the score doesn’t lendmuchdramatic dimension to thecharacters or differentiate themsufficiently.Much of it falls into akind of sing-song parlando.

Because of that, it’s hard to getmuch of a handle onHelenVaughan, themysterious, alluringyoungwoman—Pan’s love childby amortalwoman—who takesLondon society by stormanddrawsmen into a lethal vortex ofcarnal pleasure. She is portrayedas both a femme fatale/Antichristfigure and an avatar of genderequality and female empower-ment, in a patriarchal, puritanicalsociety.

Amounting of “TheGreatGodPan” that adheres toCrean’sexplicit staging and scenic direc-tionsmight havemade somethingtruly chilling of thismelodrama.Producing it on the cheap, asFringeOpera has done, doesn’tcut it. DirectorGeorgeCed-erquist and a decent young castdowhat they canwithin self-imposed limitations, but the tinybasement stage is devoid of thea-termagic (unless you considerdry-ice fogmagical). A table andchairs serve as the set.Helen’sfloral costume, toppedwith agoat-horned blondwig, is risible,

which surelywas not the inten-tion.

All this is a pity, because the 11singers—most of themFringeOpera regulars, alongwith a fewnewcomers—obviously have puta lot of hardwork into this show.They deliver their challengingbut singablemusic (and theshrieks that sometimes pepperthe nonaction) capably enoughunder the firmhand ofmusicdirectorCatherineO’Shaughnes-sy. The piano parts arewell takenbyCaseyBaker andTylerKivel.

The luminosity of ChristinaPecce’s soprano seems right forthe otherworldlyHelen; herwordlessmelismas at the veryend are particularly effective.TobiasWright brings a clear, agiletenor and excellent diction to thewide vocal compass of Clarke,whose detectivework helpsunravel themystery surroundingHelen. VinceWallace (asVilliers)andBridget Skaggs (asAustin, aliberatedVictorianwomanwhowearsmale clothing) alsomakepositive impressions.

Rounding out the ensemble areQuinnMiddleman (Rachel),AaronWardell (Dr. Raymond),Maureen Smith (Mary),MarysaAbbas (Trevor),MarkHaddad(Mr.Herbert) andThomasBailey(ArthurMeyrick). Nora Fox andMeredithWhite alternate as theyoungHelen.

Chicago FringeOpera’s productionof RossCrean’s “TheGreatGodPan” plays through Sunday atChopinTheatre, 1543W.DivisionSt.; $15-$40; 773-278-1500,www.chicagofringeopera.com.

Chicago Fringe Opera stagingbrings more spills than chillsBy John von RheinChicago Tribune


long tradition ofmummy love atthe Field,which did blockbusternumberswith aKingTut show in1977 and aTutankhamun reprisein 2006.

What explains the eternalallure of the swaddled dead?

“You can relate to it, just in abodilyway,” said JanetHong, themuseum’s projectmanager forexhibitions. “It’s sort of a naturalcuriosity towant to knowwhat’sinside.”

“It’s the degree towhich youcan identify an individual,” saidmuseumconservator JPBrown,who got this exhibition started byattending the big annual radiolog-ical conference atMcCormickPlace almost a decade ago. “Iasked a bunch of people, ‘What’sthe bestway to scan amummy?’ ”he recalledTuesday, surroundedby answers to that question.

Also drawing people tomum-mies, Brown said, is “just thequality of theworkmanship. Andit speaks to the value of some-one’s life and also to the impor-tance of honoring the dead.”

Even as they are being probedfor truths here, the dead still feelhonored. The galleries are appro-priately somber, the displaysmaking glorious use of vintagewood-and-glassmuseumcases,themselves prized artifacts.

But the exhibition is punctuat-ed by static, lighted screens thatdisplay the computerized tomog-raphy scan results— thatmummy, for instance,was a teen-ager: nowisdom teeth—and bytouch screens that demand yourtime. If you’ve shrugged yourshoulders at past examples ofmuseum“interactives,” a buzz-word that too often has signified apushed button producing a pe-destrian result, start pokingaround on these desktop-sizedlight tables. A slider, for instance,exposes the picturedmummyasyoumove your finger to the right,taking it from inscrutable bundleto person buriedwithmeaningfulobjects to a skeleton.Now spin it

around to see a view from theback. It’s spectacular and, fit-tingly, it gets broadcast above you,onto an even bigger screen.

The show, developed entirelyin house from theField’smummycollection, the largest in theU.S.,delivers a look atmummifiedanimals, froma baboon to a younggazelle to a baby crocodile. Thereis, literally, a cat scan. If you’repaying attention to thewall cards,you’ll learn that theEgyptiansraised animals explicitly for thepurpose ofmummifying them,part of the expected afterlifeofferings to the gods.

It teaches you thatmummiesweren’t just anEgyptian thing. Asubstantial portion of space is

devoted to the earlier, Peruvianmummy tradition, less ornatethan its Egyptian counterpart butno less vital to its practitioners’sense of a proper transition to thebeyond.

Instead of being put to reststretched out, like theEgyptianmummies, Peruvian onesweretypically bundled up, almost in afetal position. Themummy sacswere then decoratedwith falseheads,which look a little likehomemadedolls.

Peruvianmummification be-gan in about 7000B.C., Egyptianin 5500. Peruvians originallywould remove and reattach thedead person’s skin, although theylater stopped this practice; the

Egyptians developed a preserva-tion process that included remov-ing the internal organs and eitherputting them into the body cavityor in jars nearby.

Peruvians buried theirmum-mies in accessible undergroundpits,while Egyptians protectedtheirs inwood coffins, stonesarcophagi and, sometimes,sealed tombs. “Mummies” re-creates, at life size, samples of aburial pit and a tomb, and it in-cludesmultiple examples of thewooden coffins, typically deco-ratedwith hieroglyphicwriting.One coffin is shownwith thejoinery exposed: It’smortise-and-tenon,woodworkerswill note.

Andwhile the Peruvianswentwith simple head representations,theEgyptians usedmasks sopeople’s senseswould be intact inthe nextworld, and theywereoften gold, a color that repre-sented divinity.Most stunning isthemummy labeled “TheGildedLady.”Her drabwrappings aretopped by a vibrant golden face.Nearby, the French artist Elisa-bethDaynes,whohas a full-sizedNeanderthalman elsewhere inthemuseum, has used scan re-sults tomake a bust suggestingwhat thiswoman looked like inlife.

“Mummies,” though, alsoshows themany commonalitiesbetween the two cultures’ post-humous practices. Among themost striking of theCT findingsare the child enshrouded in abundle previously thought tocontain only an adult and thesimilarity among small figureswrappedwithEgyptian andPeru-vian dead.

What the showdoesn’t explainis the fascinating story of how theexhibit came about, seemingly asclose to accidental as things get inthe carefulworld ofmuseum

presentation.After Brown got his answers

about how to scanmummies,Field scientists putmany of themuseum’smummies through amobileCTmachine, on loan andset up in an employee parking lot.The images so impressed exhib-ition staffmembers that theyquickly developed a sort of pop-up show in 2012.

Attendance figures for “Open-ing theVaults:Mummies” provedKingTutwasn’t the onlyman ofthe clothwho could drawacrowd: 165,000 cameduring itstwo-month run, an official saidthisweek. So themuseumex-panded the concept— fleshed itout, as itwere—and turned itinto a traveling exhibition, and itmade four stops acrossNorthAmerica,most recentlywinningraves atNewYork’s AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory.

“MummiesTakeManhattan,”was the headline in theNewYorker.

Now it is back for its first fullshowing here and its final stop.“Mummies” could surely contin-ue to fascinate on the road, and tobolster themuseum’s bottom line,but these objects are profoundlyfragile, and curators have deemedtheir exposure time enough.

The preparations for amum-my’s afterlifewere elaborate;somewere laid downwith serv-ant figurines for eternal assist-ance, somewith vessels of beerfor refreshment. Butwhen theexhibition ends nextApril, these14mummieswill have had aposthumous existence, as scienceeducators and, in a sense, road-showentertainers, forwhichtheir creators could never haveplanned.

“It’s sort of a natural curiosity to want toknow what’s inside.”— Janet Hong, project manager for exhibitions, Field Museum

One thing I suspect historywillforget about our era is howbreathtakingly quickly the deci-sive turn in the struggle for gayrights happened. Itwas like thefamous pitch drop experiment, inwhich a piece of tar in a sealedflask sags away froma largerhunk little by little, until, sud-denly, after a decade or so, it sim-ply drops. For a long time, na-tional recognition of gaymarriagefelt like a goal set 10 or 20 years inthe future. Then it just happened.

In his twomost recent novels,first “The Stranger’s Child” andnow“The Sparsholt Affair,” thesuperbEnglishwriter AlanHollinghurst hasmade it hisproject to describe the agoniz-ingly long time it took for gay lifeto reach its present state of en-cumbered but unprecedentedfreedom.The earlier book beginsin 1913, the newer one in 1940;both stretch froman inciting actof passion to cross the decades to

our current times.Both have also had

the difficult job offollowingHollinghurst’s 2004Booker Prize-winner,“TheLine of Beauty.”

Itmade his previous(quite strong) novelsseem likemerewarn-ing shots, and kept itssuccessor, “TheStranger’s Child,”withits ambitious scope anduneven profundity, in afirm anddistant sec-ondplace amonghiswork.

“The SparsholtAffair” is shakier still.Many of its charactersstay doggedly out offocus.It’s farmoreassured as awork ofhistorical fiction than it iswhen itmoves into the last fewdecades;despitemoments of power, itnever quite coheres.

What remains unchanged,however, isHollinghurst’s status

as one of the rarewriterswhose sheerpresence is graceenough. LikeHenryJames, hewritesprose so densewithlines of beauty thatyou can’t quite catchup to them in realtime, lines that arerazor close to humanexperience and yet—or therefore— retain acontinual capacity forsurprise. There’snothing he couldwrite that Iwouldn’tread, and certainly notthis rough but lovelynovel.

David Sparsholt isthewinsomeHous-manesque athlete inthe sights of everyone

atChrist ChurchCollege, Ox-ford, in 1940, particularly EvertDax, the son of a famous (laterforgotten)writer. Sparsholt isengaged to a pretty northern girland reads to others as unswerv-

ingly heterosexual. In fact histaste ismore flexible.

Whomwill thewar take?Thatis part of the drama of this bravu-ra early section; not Sparsholt, itemerges,whenwe leap a fewdecades forward to enter theperspective of his son, Johnny.Most of “The Sparsholt Affair” isabout him,much of it after ascandal that never appears on thepage, involving his father. Eventu-ally Johnny becomes awidelyadmired portraitist, attracted, firstnervously, then contentedly, tomen.

His life comes to overlapwiththose ofmany of his father’s Ox-ford contemporaries.

In its later stages “TheSparsholt Affair” becomes an oddobject. It is overwhelmingly sad—sad in the clear-eyed lonely fash-ion of Philip Larkin, nodded atherewith a character namedJill— but its pointed use of time’sdiminutions is not rendered aspoignantly as in “The Stranger’sChild.” Secondary characters staysecondary; Johnny doesn’t carry

the narrative, and themost im-portant scene in the book, hisfinalmeetingwith his father, is afailure. Like IanMcEwan,Hollinghurst deploys his gentlepity on the fantastically privi-leged.

But his unparalleled gift forobservation sustains this novelwhere its plot andmission jag.Hollinghurst sees everything: thephysical (“Johnny’s hair grewheavy anddark under the fallingwater, andunwaved itself into ashiny point betweenhis shoulderblades”), the personal (“Theniceness of hismother glowedthrough, her book turned facedown, answering, hitching onething of no great interest to an-other, and keeping it going”), thesocial (“in the cafe everythingwassmall and expensive, amenu ofitems youdidn’t preciselywant”).

Even if this is not a secondmasterpiece, it is undeniably thework of amaster.

Charles Finch’smost recent book is“TheWoman in theWater.”

In JesseBall’s new, deeplyengrossing novel, “Census,” amanis digging; he is contemplatingblankness: “To be blank, to con-tain at your core, a blankness, itmust be a talent—apersonmusthave it, andmust have it, possiblyfrom the very first.” Thismanhasbeen on a journeywith his son,and as he digs, as he stops to study“the slender red roots downanddown into the grave,” he tells histraveling story.

Our storytellerwas a doctorwho, upon learning of his failingheart, became a census taker.Hewas a husbandwhosewife, nowdead,was a clown, but hardly anordinary clown.The sonwithwhomhehas traveled across alandscape of townsnamedAandB andC (all theway throughZ) isnot an ordinary son. Instead, he isthe kindwho showed, “not inspeech, but in his dailyway, thatwe are by our nature a kind ofmeasure, thatwe aremeasuringeach other at everymoment.”Thekind of sonwho learns slowly,does differently, attracts the cru-elty of cruel people andhas a life“such that he is assured of nothingthat continues.Heneeds a cham-pion.”

You could say this is the story of“Census,” but “Census” is a fictionof shattering impact in part be-cause its fabulist tendrils eruptfrom the author’s own love for abrother: AbramBallwas bornwithDown syndrome anddied, in1998, after becoming quadriplegicand requiring a ventilator. As achild, JesseBall hadhoped to carefor his brother as the twoof themgrewold. As an author, a facultymember at the School of theArtInstitute ofChicago, he hadwanted towrite a book in hishonor. “Census” exists, Ballwritesin an introduction, because hebuilt a “hollow” book andplacedhis brother at its center.

InBall’s story, the father andsondrive the hills, the roads, thebridges. They encounter resistorsand embracers—peoplewhodo

anddonotwant the census tattoothe doctormust needle into theskin above their rib.When thefather and son talk to each other,they tell the stories they’ve alwaystold aboutmissing hats and funnypeople.When they travel in si-lence, the father remembers the“trifecta” of his life—himself, hiswife, their son—andhow, forexample, “Themain thingwas for(the son) to feel thatwewere alltogether taking part in a joinedproject— the project of our life.”Sometimes the father reads aboutcormorants, strange and lovelybirds. Sometimes, as heweakens,he allows others to care for him.

Always the son is near:Westarted keeping to the car

more andmore and so Iwouldwake in the car,wewouldwake inthe car and thewindshieldwouldbe right there in front ofme,opaque, like the cover on a coffin,

and Iwould feel that surely, impla-cably, Iwas in a coffin, but then Iwould hearmy son’s breath besideme. Iwould hear him; sometimes,even hewouldwake, and reach outhis hand tome andwewould holdhands. Then I could breathe andbreathe and the daywould begin.

Thebeauty in that passage, innearly every “Census” passage, isdevastating. Ononehand, this is apure love story embeddedwithinan ancient travel narrative. On theother, it is an artistic undertakingof themost sophisticated sort—richly imagined, cleverly se-quenced, even typographicallypropulsive as the census townsstamp themselves uponBall’sliterarymap.One thinks ofW.G.Sebald and ItaloCalvino, but thecomparators fade. This is Ball.This is his story. This is hismemo-ry andhowever hewishes toelaborate it, in passages such as

these:Howcould it be, we asked our-

selves again and again, that theyare all so cruel to him?Howcanthis enormous conspiracy exist—where everyone has agreed aheadof time that it is completely all rightto be hurtful to these harmlesspeoplewho hurt no one?

But donot think that the hurt isall there is, or evenmostlywhatthere is. ForBall’s greatest geniusin “Census” is given over to thesupremehumanity that outlaststhe ugly things that people do andsay. Goodness prevails: It prevailsinBall’s imagination, it outlastswords.Don’t turn to the finalpages until youhave arrived atthis journey’s end. And then stayright there anddwell.

BethKephart, the author of 22books,will publish amiddle-gradenovel, “Wild Blues,” in June.

WATCHTHIS: THURSDAY“How to Get Away WithMurder” (9 p.m., ABC): Thetitle of the show’s fourth-sea-son finale is “Nobody ElseIs Dying,” but don’t bet onthat being the fact — espe-cially since a death and theresulting arrest fuel the story,written by series creator PeteNowalk. The shocks and sur-prises don’t end there for An-nalise (Viola Davis) and herproteges, either. Jack Falahee,Aja Naomi King,MattMcG-orry, Karla Souza, LizaWeiland CharlieWeber also star.

“Superstore” (7 p.m., NBC): Honestymay not be the best policy for the Cloud9 employees in the new episode “Amnesty,” as they’re invited to own up to anyand all bad things they’ve done, supposedly without penalty. Secretly, Garrett andCheyenne (Colton Dunn, Nichole Bloom) have other ideas for what they learnabout their colleagues. Jonah and Amy (Ben Feldman, America Ferrera) try tocombat a case of store gossip. Lauren Ash andNico Santos also star.

“Tough Mudder: Tougher Together” (7 p.m., CW): The famous— and famouslygrueling —ToughMudder competition is highlighted through profiles of threeparticipating teams in this new special. Each of the leaders is shown to have his orher own deeply personal motivation for wanting to tackle the contest, including arecent widowwhose friends and sons are joining her to honor her late husband’smemory. Awomanwith Down syndrome also competes, alongwith her father.

It often pays to bid onemorewith a freak hand, but thereis usually no clear reason to do so. You never knowwhatwillhappen, but history tells us that something goodwill happenat least some of the time.

North-South had a useful agreement on this auction.North could have bid five clubs as “pass or correct” to locate

partner’sminorsuit. The four notrumpbid alsoasked for partner’sminor, but showeda better hand—ahandwith at leastsome slampotential.South,with four toplosers in themajors,contented himself

with a five club bid, but he couldn’t stand itwhenEastcompeted to five spades.

The five-spade contractwould have been defeated bythree tricks after the queen of hearts lead and best defense— twohearts and three ruffs. Therewas noway for Southto know that, so it’s just aswell that he caught a suitabledummy for slam.West shifted to the jack of diamonds attrick two, but South ruffed, drew trumps, and claimed amoment laterwhen the heart finesseworked.

This turned into a huge gain for theNorth-South teamwhen the South player at the other table chose to defend fivespades.He underled his ace of clubs at trick one in an effortto get a diamond ruff. OOPS!Declarer ruffed, drew trumps,andmade an overtrickwhen the diamond suit provided fivetricks. Bid ’emup!

LOCAL FORECAST

■ After a cold front

moves through Chicago

Wednesday night, the

area is under the

influence of cooler high

pressure centered north

of the Canadian border.

■ As that high pressure

moves east, winds will

gradually swing around

from the northwest to the

northeast and then east

during the next 24 hours.

■ Tranquil but seasonably

cool. Abundant sun helps

temps rise to the low 40s

away from the lake, but an

increasingly more N/NE

wind will keep readings

cooler along the lakefront.

■ An increase in high

clouds overnight.

Dear Janet,A star of the sun’s size

burns brighter before itburns out, billions of yearsfromnow.The sun cur-rently fuses hydrogen intohelium in its interior, aprocess that began 4.6billion years ago andwillcontinue for another 3billion years. Luminositywill gradually increaseuntil, in 3.5 billion years,the sunwill be 40percentmore luminous than nowand theEarthwill be toohot for life to exist. Thesunwill have exhausted itshydrogen in 5.4 billionyears and enter a red giantphase, consuming heliumfor a fewhundredmillionyears before becoming awhite dwarf. This cycle,which currently includes a1percent increase in lumi-nosity every100millionyears, has no effect onEarth’s climate.

Planning out how to arrangefurniture in your home—orplants in your garden—used toinvolve a pencil, graphpaper, ameasuring tape and a lot of imagi-nation.

Theprocess has gotten easier—andwaymore streamlined—thanks to a burgeoning selectionof home and garden apps.

Furniture companies, interiordesign firms and even landscapershave been rolling out a newgener-ation of apps and online programstomake the processmore fool-proof for novices andpros alike,often using virtual and augmentedreality technology.

“Design apps are really great forgenerating ideas, anddeciding onmaterials and sources for do-it-yourself projects,” saysMargaretMayfield, an architect inLosOsos,Calif. “And they’re also very help-ful for communicating designideas to contractors and archi-tects.”

The technology allows you toseewhat furniturewould look likein your homebefore you buy it,using just the camera on yourphone, for example, instead ofdealingwith the hassle—andback pain— involved in returning,say, an ill-chosen sofa.

And the design apps donot stopat the door.With spring aroundthe corner, there are landscapingapps to help take the guesswork

out of decidingwhat to plant andwhere andwhen.

Among themost popular homeapps isHouzz, a free appwith 40million users around theworldeachmonth, according toLizaHausman, vice president of indus-try andmarketing forHouzz.Features include a huge databaseof design photos— searchable bystyle, country or color, for exam-ple— to create a personalized“idea book.”

The site’s “VisualMatch” fea-ture allows visitors to order furni-ture and other products that arethe sameor similar to those seenin themagazine-type photos. Youcanworkwith a friend by using“Invite aCollaborator” or,through “Directory,” contact localdesigners, architects or landscap-ers.

One of the newest features is“View inMyRoom3D,”whichinvites you to photograph your

roomon your phone and then—using augmented realitytechnology—place a selectedpiece of furniture in the room toseewhat itwould look like there.

Other indoor design apps in-cludeHutch,HomeDesign 3D,Rooms and apps from stores likeIkea andOverstock.com.

For outdoors,Houzz—whichrecently acquired theGardenWebapp and is integrating it into itsown app— features articles andadvice fromgardening pros, and aforumwhere homegardeners canshare ideas and suggestions.

Another popular landscapingapp is iScape,whichhelps youvisualize your garden, save andshare ideas, and buy gardeningproducts.

Aswith all technology, though,the apps have a learning curvethat in some cases is far greaterthan the old graphpaper andpencilmethod. Andprofessionalswarn that for big jobs, it’s still bestto seek out a pro.

Just don’t be surprisedwhenyour landscaper or designer pullsout a phone to consult an app.

MattMcMillan, a landscapedesigner in PoundRidge,N.Y.,says, “Mydesigns are very focusedondrawing nature into the gar-den. So I frequently consult theCornell Lab ofOrnithology’sMerlin app. I also have apps fordragonflies, butterflies andmush-rooms. I can’t livewithout theToolbox app in general, and spe-cifically its compass.”

New design apps can help you decorateBy Katherine RothAssociated Press

View in My Room 3D is an augmented reality tool in the Houzz app thatlets users see what furniture and decor products would look like in theirhomes, before they buy.

Tip of the day

Oven cleaning tricks: Toclean racks, remove themand spraywith an ovencleaning product. Sealthem in large bags foraround 30minutes. Rinsethemwithwarmwater toget rid of the residue.

For oven glass, slightlydampen aMr. CleanMagicEraser andwipe off anyleftover grease.

The inside glass on youroven door can get supericky. Trywetting a dish-washer detergent tabletwith hotwater and using itas youwould a sponge.

To polish your oven, usecreamof tartar. Swipe it onand let it be for 10minutes.Rinse, and itwill lookbrand-new.

LisaAdams knows your closet.Sure, she lives in LosAngeles,

where she hangs outwith famouspeople, outfitting themwithspacesworthy of their expansive,designer-clothing-strewnward-robes.

She hasmade themcustomclosets just for their colorfulworkout gear. She helped theKardashians contain their formi-dable clothing collections beforeKendall even learned to drive.She helpedChristinaAguileradreamup a purse carousel in-spired by (what else?) a stripperpole.

Still, Adams, author of “ClosetDesignBible” and the designerbehindLAClosetDesign (thatstands for LisaAdams, she pointsout, not LosAngeles, but eitherway, the nameworks) sayswe’renot so different fromher celebrityclients.

“People are living in a lot ofcluttered, disorganized closets,”she says, “and theywant better.”Closets, she points out, are one ofthe three spaces people look atwhen buying or renting a newplace. They rank right behind thekitchen and the bathrooms inimportance. And yet,when thespring cleaning bughits, nearly allof us think immediately of thecloset, that neglected spotwherewe suspect all the unnecessarybaggage that has beenholding usback since roughly the 1990s islodged.

Researchers have confirmedyour fears, because that’s theirjob. Studies have shown that theaveragewomanhas over $500 inunworn clothing lurking in hercloset, that roughly 80 percent ofour clothes are rarelyworn— theother 20 percent includes thatskirt youhaveworn towork threetimes thisweek.

Eighty-four percent of Ameri-cans report being stressed thattheir homes aren’t clean andorganized enough.Good thingAdams is here to help, armedwith the expertise she could onlygetwhen teaching celebrities totake a practical, organized ap-proach to, say, a shoe collection

that needs three layers ofmov-able, library-style shelves to con-tain it.

Anyone canhave a better clos-et, she says, even if you’re short ofspace.Here are her celebrity-inspired closet tips:

Get a custom fit:When stylistandTVpersonality BradGoreskicalledAdams in, she discovered

that he had a standard-issuemodular closet system fromTheContainer Store.Her first fix?Simply shifting rods and shelvesto create a space that fit histhings, so that jackets, for in-stance, had enoughheight to hangproperlywithout resting on theshelf below. “A lot of peoplemoveinto a closet and think, ‘Oh, I’llmake itwork,’ ” she says. Instead,

look to see if existing elementscan be reconfigured to give youstorage thatworks better.

Know where to throw it:Everycloset, Adams says, needs “a cutelittle trash can that you don’tmind looking at” to catch the tagsyou snip off and other littlegarbage. She also advocates apermanent system to accept

clothesmeant for donation andthe cleaners, aswell as traditionallaundry. Get a divided hamper,and drop items in as soon as younotice they no longer fit or needlaundering.When the bin is full,head to your donation spot or thedry cleaners.

Create a temporary restingplace: “The valet rod isGod’sgift to us,” Adams says. If you’renot familiarwith this pull-outwonder, a tiny rod that can holdclothes for a trip, a next day’soutfit, or the dry cleaning youjust picked up (you are going toput that away, right?), you shouldlook into it. “Container Store hasone you can install yourself ifyou’re a renter,” saysAdams. In apinch, a sturdy hook or a repur-posed towel bar can serve thesamepurpose.

Steal ideas from the kitchen:Know that under-cabinet lightingthat keeps you fromcutting offyour fingerwhen you’re slicingcarrots? Try it above your closetrods,where the light it shedswillmean you can always tell navyblue jackets fromblack ones.Mimic grandma’s old-fashionedcuphookswith slightly largerones under closet shelves, so thatpurses can hang, instead of flop-ping over or lying flat, hiddenfromview. “Wedon’twearwhatwe can’t see,” Adams says.

Use all the space: Adamsnevergives up that lost real estate at thetop of the closet. If you’ve got thecash, she says, invest in pull-downrods (you can even get ones thatlower at the push of a button).Or stickwith shelves, but keep itneat andmake peacewith yourstepladder. “Get a pretty one,” shesays, “andhave a place to store itforwhen youwant it out of theway.”

Make it pretty:Wallpaper ormirror the backwall, clean up thelookwithmatching hangers, oreven spring for luxury rods andhardware in finishes like acrylicor brass. You can even style anempty shelf, if you have one,witha favorite object or artwork.“When you open the door to acloset,” saysAdams, “youwantthat feeling of ‘Oh, it’s beautiful!’It needs to exude that.”

If you’ve ever hauled abulky vacuum from roomto roomand silently cursedas you ran out of cordlength just short of finish-ing a hallway, a centralvacuumsystemcould solveyour problems and ease upsomeof that back strain.

Much like a centralHVACunit, a central vacu-um system runs pipesthroughout the home’sinteriorwalls. Those pipesconnect to amain vacuumandpower unit typicallylocated in a garage or base-ment. Suction ports,whichare nearly as unobtrusiveas electrical outlets, areplaced throughout thehome. This allows you toconnect a hose directly tothewall in any roomof thehouse, flick a switch, vacu-um the roomandbe done.Just detach the hose andmove on to the next roomto keep vacuuming.

What are the benefitsof central vacuum?

Acentral vacuumsys-temcomeswith numerousbenefits. Themain powerunit’s locationmakes vacu-uming quieter and lessdisruptive— the noisewon’t be as bothersome toyour pets and children. It’salsomore powerful than aportable vacuum, eventhough youno longer haveto haul a heavy unit aroundthe house.

Traditional vacuumsrecycle the suctioned airright out of themain unitand back into the room,but a central vacuumdraws the dirt, air andparticles all theway downto the central unit. Then, itexhausts air outside like adryer vent. Since tradi-tional vacuumsystemskick up air and stir updebriswhen they recircu-late the air, they can causebig problems for thosewho suffer fromallergies

or asthma. But a centralvacuumsystem sucks it allout of the home entirely.

You can purchase avariety of add-ons to im-prove the system, such asretractable hoses that slideright back into thewalls, orbaseboard suction,whichallows you to sweepdirt tothe baseboard and suck thedirt awaywith the flip of aswitch.

How much will a centralvacuum system cost?

You’ll be investing about$1,500upfront for a centralvacuumsystem, and thatgoes upwith installation oradditional features. But onthe positive side, you’llnever need to buy a vacu-umagain; a central vacuumsystemboasts a lifespan ofabout 40 years. You alsowon’t be constantly replac-ing filters or emptyingdebris aswith a standard

vacuum.The unit’s largerreservoirmeans you’llonly need to empty theunit a few times a year.

You don’t need to havenewconstruction to in-stall a central vacuum.Aprofessional installer canretrofit it into yourwallwithminimal cutouts andfuss. Installers do notrequire a license, but inaddition to checking theirreferences, ask your in-staller if they have proof oftraining from the productmanufacturers and/orcertification on installa-tion of central systemsfrom theVacuumDealersTradeAssociation.

A central vacuumcanadd resale value to yourhome.What’smore, itmakes an interestingconversation piece thatmight help your homestand out fromotherswhen you’re showing it.

DREAMSTIME

I have been pruning inmy garden andwonder if Ican bring in somebranchesand get them to flower. Ifso, how should I proceed?

—Calli Jackson,High-landPark

Spring-flowering treesand shrubs such as lilacsand crab apples form theirflower buds in late summeror fall before the plants godormant for thewinter.The branches can be cutand forced into bloomindoors after a period of atleast eightweeks of tem-peratures below40de-grees. Thiswill typically belate in January, thoughweather is different eachyear.

March is generally agood time to forcebranches into flower. Itmay take one to fourweeksfor the blossoms to open,with twoweeks beingtypical. The closer to theirnatural bloom time thatyou cut the branches, thesooner theywill open.

Prune branches forforcing carefully, usingproper pruning techniques

and cutting off only thosebranches that are not es-sential to the plant’s basicshape. Branches should beat least 1 foot long (18 inch-es is better), full of flowerbuds and cut on a daywhen the temperature isabove freezing. Brancheswith large flower budswillbloommore quicklywhenforced.

If you are pruningbranches just for forcing,try to choose branchesfrommore dense areas ofthe plant and prune evenlyaround the plant, as youwill be removing someofits natural spring display.Be careful not to disfigurethe tree or shrub. Other-wise, select branches fromthose already pruned aspart of routinewintermaintenance. Cut a fewmore branches than youexpect to use because somemaynot absorbwaterproperly.

Place the cut branches ina container ofwarmwaterand recut 1 inch from thebase of the stemwhen thestems are underwater.Thiswill help prevent airfromentering the stemthrough the cut end andblockingwater uptake.

Remove buds and twigsthatwill be underwater.Youmaywant to add afloral preservative to thewater to control bacteria.

It is best to initially keepthe branches in a coolroomout of direct sunlightand change thewaterevery other day or so if youdid not use a preservative.When the buds color up orthe foliage begins to unfurl,arrange the branches in avase anddisplay them in acool room in bright lightbut out of direct sunlight.

Some good choices forforcing include serv-iceberry (Amelanchier),magnolia (Magnolia),flowering quince(Chaenomeles), forsythia(Forsythia), crab apple orapple (Malus), floweringpear (Pyrus), floweringcherry (Prunus), spring-floweringwitch hazel(Hamamelis vernalis),viburnum (Viburnum),Cornelian cherry dogwood(Cornusmas) and redbud(Cercis).

This columnwas in-spired by two expensivemistakes, one by a homebuilder and one by a homeservice installer. In bothinstances, an hour or two ofextra time and a fewextradollars spent onmaterialswould have saved thou-sands of dollars in repairsdown the road.

Lastweek, a homeownerwho lives just 10miles frommehiredme to do an in-person consultation at hishouse.Waterwas leakinginto his basement over thetop of his foundationwall.

In justminutes, Iwasable to discover the sourceof the leak at the house.Whoever built the deckattached to the back of thehomemade a series ofmistakes. The builder alsomade a basic and seriousmistakewhen installing thesliding glass door that leadsfrom the house to the deck.

The deckwas attachedto the housewith a few lagbolts. This is amistakebecause lag bolts can beovertightened andhaveminimal holding power.Moreover, the treated lum-ber board against the housethat supported half thedeck’sweight had no flash-ing at all. The deckingboardswere installed sothey touched one another,with the result that rainand snowmeltwatercouldn’t get down to the

ground quickly. Instead,because the deckwas out oflevel, thewater drainedtoward the house.

The sliding glass doordidn’t have a flashing panunder it.When Iwent intothe basement and pulledback the fiberglass battinsulation thatwas on topof the foundation, I discov-ered rotten subflooringunder the door. The bandbeam joist that sits on topof the foundationwas sorotted I could scrape outlarge chunks ofwoodwithmy fingernails.

The roof also had nogutter on it.Manyhere intheNortheast think it’s abad idea to have gutters on

homes because falling iceand snow rip themoffhouses. That’s true if thegutter is installedwrongand there are no gutterguards on the roof. I’ve hadgutters and the best gutterguards onmyhome foryears, and tons of snowandice cascade down frommyroof after each storm. Be-causemy gutter hangsbelow the slide plane, thesnow just slips overmygutters and down to theground.

Because there’s no gutteron thisman’s home, eachtime there’s a significantrain event, hundreds ofgallons ofwater splash ontohis deck and runup against

his house. Snowmelt causesthe sameproblem.

Whenhis deckwas built,itwould have only takenabout twohours ofworkand $50worth ofmaterialto prevent the leakageproblems. I sat at his diningroom table andmade a listof all the products hisbuilder should have used. Ialsomade a crude drawingshowing how the deckboard should have beeninstalledwith all the properflashings andproducts.

You can get the list of allthe best products by goingtowww.askthebuilder.com/decklist. A link to abetter color drawing show-ing how the deck board

should have been attachedis available on the site.

When I got home fromthe consultation,my localseptic tank pumping com-pany had just finishedtroubleshootingwhymyeffluent ejection pumpalarm sounded.

They had to pumpoutmy septic tank and thesecond smaller tankwherethe pump is housed tomake the repair.

A technician askedmewhetherwehad awatersoftener that drained intothe house drain lines.

“Why yes,we do,” I said.“Howdid you know?”

Thewise youngmannoticed that therewere far

toomany solids, includingundigested toilet paper, onthewrong side of the inputbaffle inside the tank.

When thewater softenerregenerates, it dischargesvery salty brine into theseptic tank. This salty brewkillsmuch of the beneficialbacteria that digestmany ofthe solids.

The secondary effect ofthis is thewater enteringthe leach field has toomany tiny solids. The tinysolids cause the leach fieldto fail. It costsmany thou-sands of dollars to install anew leach field.

Inmy case, theworkerswho installed thewatersoftener inmyhome spentmore time and effort in-stalling the discharge intomy septic system than theywould have if they hadchosen a better option:simply drilling two3⁄4-inch-diameter holesthroughmy fiber cementsiding. The discharge brinecould easily have beenducted out ofmyhome andinto a nearby drainpipethat carries stormwaterdown and away frommyhome.

Fortunately forme, thisworkmanship errorwascaught in time, and I don’thave to install a new leachfield. All it costmewas theprice of pumping the tanks.

Workmanship errorscan cost you a lot if they arenot corrected.

If you needme to helpyou troubleshoot potentialerrors, all you have to do isask. Go towww.askthebuilder.com and click the“AskTim” link at the top ofeach page.

happy hour Here’swhere to drink on a budget thisweek.

Dyeing to partySt. Patrick’s Daymight be Chicago’s favorite holiday, what with all the traditions, theswaths of Irish heritage and, you know, the drinking. Seriously, though, people love thetraditions —most famously thedyeingof theChicagoRiver, which begins at 9 a.m.Saturday. To find the best views, try the east side of theMichigan Avenue bridge or thewest side of the one on Columbus Drive. Or, you can try to stake out a spot on the Riverwalk or lower or upper Wacker between Michigan and Columbus. The accompanyingdowntownparade steps off at noon from Balbo and Columbus drives. Free.chicagostpatricksdayparade.org

‘Ballin’ like theMarchMadness ...’Championships and Final Fours are all well andgood, but the first weekend of the NCAAcollege basketball tournament is when it reallyearns its “MarchMadness” nickname. You cancatch the tournament at plenty of placesthroughout the city, whether you’re lookingfor an affiliated alumni bar (pg. 40), onewithplenty of TVs or some decent deals. First-round games begin Thursday and Friday.

Black burlesque,and then someIf you’re not feeling the St. Patrick’s Day citytakeover, head down to the Promontory for adifferent kind of lively party Friday and Sat-urday nights, as the venuewill host Jeezy'sJuke Joint: A Black Burly-Q Revue from JeezLoueez.

Are you all planning to publish this as aFAQof sorts?Would be helpful for Chi-cago newcomers. —Holden

Glad you asked,Holden. Yes, yeswe are.

What time does the river dye start?What time does the parade start?Where's the best viewing?What is theroute? What's the best afterparty?—Anon.

Somany questions! The river dyeingstarts at 9 a.m. and can best be viewed fromthe east side ofMichiganAvenue, thewestside of ColumbusDrive orWackerDrivebetweenMichiganAvenue andColumbusDrive.

The parade steps off at noon, starting atBalbo andColumbus drives and goingnorth onColumbus. The viewing stand islocated in front of BuckinghamFountain.

As for the best afterparty,well, beauty isin the eye of the beholder. Thewholeweekend is essentially an afterparty, so itdepends on your tastes. Spots near theriver dyeing have specials, there’s a barcrawl inWrigleyville and plenty of placeson the South Side celebrate Irish heritage.What sounds good to you?

Is it recommended to buy tickets inadvance for the private events at bars/restaurants? Or canwe find ourwayinto placeswhenwe arrive? —Anon.

Wewould recommendbuying tickets inadvance. Someplaces offer early-birdprices, and even if they don’t, tickets tendto sell out. Chicago is a zoo on St. Patrick’sDay, and if youwait until the day of tofigure out your plan, youmightwaste pre-cious hours trying to figure outwhichplace still has openings. That said, every-one’s a little, uh, friendlier on St. Patrick’sDay too, so someone is bound to take youin.

What percentage of Chicagoans cele-brating have Irish heritage?Or has itbecome a catchall for anyonewholoves shenanigans? —Jenn

According to theU.S. CensusBureau,therewere 201,530 Irish-Americans livinginChicago in 2015. That’s about 7.5 percentof Chicago’s total population—anumber

thatwas backed up byBrianO’Brien, theGeneral Consul of Ireland toChicago.Chicago has the second-largest Irish-American population in theU.S., behindNewYork. Boston has the highest percent-age, but as a smaller city, has fewer people.

To answer your second question, yes,Chicago’s St. Patrick’sDay celebrationseems to havemore of an open invitationfor anyonewho loves shenanigans.

Four years ago, Papadopoulosmighthave cooked you a prime steak andper-haps lobster bisque at Sam&Harry’s inSchaumburg. Twoor three years ago, itwould have been chicken paprikash andpotato pancakes at BohemianHouse, thehit Czech restaurant inRiverNorth,wherePapadopouloswas opening chef.

By all accounts (mine included), thechef served both restaurantswith distinc-tion, even though the cooking, in hiswords, “was not true tomyself.”

Now, thanks to a fortuitousmeetingwithBokaGroup restaurateursKevinBoehmandRobKatz (and a tasting audi-tion that reportedly blew the duo away),Papadopoulos is “cookingwithmyhead,heart and soul” as chef and partner at3-month-oldBellemore.

The restaurant sits in theWest Looplocation thatwas home toEmbeya. I re-memberEmbeya as being a particularlypretty restaurant, butwhatKarenHerold(StudioK) has donewith the space is afeast for the eyes. Sitting inBellemore islike visiting a once-grandmanor that’shalfway through amajor restoration,wheremodern andnostalgic elementsmixhappily.

Done principally inwhite and dark-wood tones, the soaring dining roomofferswood-clad, uplit columns casting dramaticshadows. Suspendedhalf-globe lights andbrass chandeliers supply plenty of soft,diffused illumination. Exposed pipes andductwork run along the ceiling,whileplush booths and bentwood chairs addnostalgia.

The art is avian-inspired; a farwallfeatures amural of flying owls, the loungearea has a nude-with-plumed-bird paint-ing, and on either side of the ornate,mar-ble-topped bar are two suspended bird-cages containing stuffed peacocks.

Papadopoulos’ food echoes the themeofrestored elegance, beginningwith hisoyster pie,which probably is destined tobecome the dish of 2018 inChicago. It’s a$65 indulgence that presents two smallslices of oyster-custard pie, elaboratelytoppedwith osetra caviar, a pristineBeau-jolais oyster and diced apple. It’s rich,creamy and briny all at once,with a gentleacidic finish.

“Iwas afraid (the dish)wouldmake uslook stuffy and pretentious,” Papadopoulossaid. “And in the firstmonth,we sold 225orders. It’s turned into this bougie bite,

and nowwe sell roughly 20 orders anight.”

TheHawaiian rolls, a considerablymore approachable ($8) opener,mightseemabsurdly simple by comparison, butif there’s such a thing as chef-yHawaiianrolls, these are the ones. Four pull-apart,house-made rolls have all the sweet fluffi-ness you’d expect, toppedwith a bit of seasalt.What turns the dish into a knockout isthe accompanying butter, infusedwithcountry hamand toppedwith smokedsesame seeds, saba-stewedpumpkin andsome crisped hambits to reinforce thebutter’s subtle undercurrent.

There are simple butmemorable

choices, including a colorfulwinter saladwithwhippedGorgonzola, calamansi-marinated hamachi crudo andmelt-in-mouth curls of shaved foie gras over per-simmonmarmalade and crumbs of choco-late brioche. The chef’s duet of fried razorclams and razor-clam ceviche,mixedwithsweet potato tots,mademe think aboutthe fried clams atHoward Johnson’s,which I realize datesme terribly.

And then there are extraordinarilycomplex dishes, such as the tartare ofvenison loin, cut into cubes large enoughto provide ameatymouthfeel, placed overaioli fortifiedwith bonito flakes andtoppedwithTokyo turnips and finger

lime.Within the tartare, bits of toastedpumpernickel add crunch, pickled pearscontribute acidity and fermented-garlic-glaze trumpetmushrooms boost theumami factor.

If you’re feeling nostalgic, the friedsweetbreads are Bellemore’s closest echoof Papadopoulos’work at BohemianHouse.Molasses-butter-lacquered sweet-breads over fermented kraut are accentedby dates andmustard seeds; a pool of vealdemi-glace contains a tiny island of apple-datemustard,whose sinus-clearing prop-erties Papadopoulos attributes to dots of“weaponizedmustard oil.”

Main courses include a delicious

Pastry chef Allison Schroeder hasworked at Blackbird, Girl & theGoat,Sepia and Sixteen, and she’s doing terrificwork here. An early sweet I verymuchlikedwas her chestnut brioche, presentedin exploded chunks aroundpear sorbet,verjus-poachedpears and crunchy chest-nut chips. I look forward towhat she’ll dowith summer fruit. I alreadymiss herchocolate pave,with black-sesame crispsandpersimmonmarmalade, but the choc-olate pudding,which replaced it, is suffi-cient consolation. This is a deep-dive dish,a high-sided bowl inwhich dark-choco-late pudding is hidden beneath layers ofbananamousse, chocolate curls,malt tuileand banana crisps. It takes awhile to getthe full effect, but it’sworth thewait.

If you’re feeling indecisive, there’s atastingmenu ($85) of six chef-selecteddishes, all pulled from themenu.

Wine service is top-notch,whetheryou’re interactingwithwine directorSarahCarpenter or the nattily attiredsommelier Jamel Freeman,whose picksformewere adventurous and spot-on foodmatches. Beverage director LeeZarembaproduces excellent cocktailswith imagi-native ingredients.

Servicewas terrific on allmy visits. Ialways assume that I’m recognized athigh-level restaurants, but the staffers didnothing overt to let on.

We’re only a fewmonths into 2018, butPapadopoulos is already having a very niceyear.

It goeswithout saying, of course, thatLawrence is not just a celebrity herself butone of the biggest ones inhabiting the plan-et. To date, hermovies, including block-busters in the “HungerGames” and “X-Men” franchises and smaller films like“Winter’s Bone” and “AmericanHustle,”have collectively grossedmore than $5.6billionworldwide. At age 27— two yearsyounger thanMeryl Streepwaswhen shereceived her first AcademyAward nomina-tion— shehas already scored fourOscarnods,winning the lead actress prize for2012’s “Silver Linings Playbook.”

Toher legions of admirers, though, anessential part of Lawrence’s appeal is that,for all her success, she still comes across asjust the sort of regular personwho’d freakout at seeing someone she recognized froma reality TV show.

In her latestmovie, the spy thriller “RedSparrow,” Lawrence takes on a role unlikeany she’s played before, one that pushedherwell outside of her comfort zone. Shestars asDominikaEgorova, a Russianprima ballerinawho is coerced by herspymaster uncle into becoming a covertintelligence agent. Trained in a top-secretschool in the arts of seduction, Egorova issent on amission to pry secrets fromanAmericanCIA agent (Joel Edgerton).

Based on the 2013 novel by formerCIAoperative JasonMatthews, theR-rated“Red Sparrow” is sexually charged andoften brutal, punctuatedwith scenes of

assassination, torture and attempted rape.Whendirector Francis Lawrence,whohelmed three “HungerGames” films, firstapproachedher about the project,Lawrence immediately fell in lovewith thecharacter. But, still shaken by the hackingin 2014 of her private intimate photos, shefeltwary about diving into a film thatwould require her to act, at times naked ornearly so, in such explicit scenes.

“Itwas really sexual— if itweren’t forthat itwould have been an easy yes,” saidLawrence. “But I knew that if therewasanybodywho couldmake thismaterialthat’s really salacious anddaring tasteful,it’s Francis.” In the end, she says, the expe-rience felt empowering. “It kind of belittledthewhole thing in aweirdway. It’s just abody. It’smy body. I lovemybody.”

“I think Jen is fearless,” said “Red Spar-row” producer JennoTopping, presidentof film and television at CherninEntertain-ment. “She’s just so committed to being anactor first as opposed to being a star first.”

Whenhe began adapting “Red Sparrow”for the screen three years ago, FrancisLawrencewas concerned that aColdWarthriller about a spywhouses sex as aweap-onmight not feel relevant. In a twist hecouldn’t have foreseen, the film is now setto hit theaters as stories of Russian espio-nage are the stuff of screaming headlinesand controversies over sexualmisconductcontinue to reverberate acrossHollywoodand beyond.

Against the backdrop of the#MeToomovement, the filmmaker admits he’s notsure howaudienceswill receive themov-ie’s depictions of sexual violence, includinga scene inwhich awealthy, powerfulmantries to rapeLawrence’s character. “Theseare themes that have unfortunately beenhappening in ourworld for hundreds, ifnot thousands, of years,” he said. “It’s acoincidence that thismovie nowhappensto coincidewith the events that are in thenews. It’s really tricky forme to say howaudiences are going to react.”

Moved by her experienceswith sexualharassment and objectification and storiesshared by otherwomen, Lawrence is in-volved inHollywood’s Time’sUp cam-

paign. “We’re reshaping thewaywewantto be treated,” she said. “Therewas a normthat existed before that I had been a part ofaswell. I had, like, guys’ hands onmy legsand I didn’twant tomove thembecause Ididn’twant to seemcrazy orwhatever.Therewas stuff that happened tomewhenIwas younger that now is not going to benormal.”

Highlighting someof the trickier dy-namics of the conversation overwomenandpower inHollywood, days later, con-troversy erupted over photos of Lawrencetaken during the “Red Sparrow” press tour.Shewaswearing a revealing dress outsideon a chilly Londonday, surrounded bymale co-stars fully covered. Socialmedia litupwith criticisms that the images repre-sent howwomen are treated inHollywood.

Lawrence responded in a Facebook post,calling the kerfuffle “utterly ridiculous”:“Overreacting about everything someonesays or does, creating controversy over sillyinnocuous things such aswhat I choose towear or notwear, is notmoving us for-ward,” she said. “It’s creating silly distrac-tions from real issues. Everything you seemewear ismy choice. And if Iwant to becoldTHATSMYCHOICETOO!”

As forwhat gets depicted in a film like“Red Sparrow,” however, Lawrence arguesthat is an entirely separatematter. “At theend of the day,we’re themovie industry—we’re going to have sex,we’re going to haveviolence,” she said. “If you focus so hard onmaking something that’s politically correct,the artwill suffer. Art is subjective. Somepeople are going to hate it, somepeople aregoing to love it.”

That lessonhas been brought home toLawrence over the past couple of years.Hermost recent film,DarrenAronofsky’sallegorical horror film “mother!” sharplydivided critics and received a rare FCine-maScore fromaudiences. The filmbeforethat, 2016’s sci-fi romance “Passengers,”co-starringChris Pratt, looked like a proj-ect that couldn’tmiss— “and then it did,”Lawrence said, grossing a less-than-spec-tacular $100million domestically andearning generally poor reviews.

As she’s gotten older, Lawrence hasbecome increasingly aware that the linebetween success and failure inHollywoodcan be thin.

“It’s a very fickle industry,” she said. “Iprobably felt bulletproofwhen Iwas doing‘HungerGames,’ but Iwas also young so Ididn’t care. Iwas used to doingmovies andthen they gowell— thatwasmy reality.Then it’s scary because it’s just like any job.If you’re demanding a salary and you’resaying, ‘I amworth this,’ you have to proveyou’reworth that or yourworth goesdown.”

She paused. “This is not an industry fortheweak of heart.”

In conversation, Lawrence is a livewire,quick-witted andunscripted. Onemomentshe is speaking seriously about how, afterthe election ofDonaldTrumpas president,her “head kind of blewoff” and she de-cided to throwherself into the cause of

gettingmoney out of politics. The nextmoment, chatting casually about a doc-tor’s appointment, she pulls off a cottonball thatwas bandaged onto her armaftershe had blood drawn andmuses, “What ifI just put this inmymouth andwas like,‘Anyway,whatwere you saying?’ ”

With her usual candor, Lawrence ad-mits thatwhen shewon theOscar for“Silver Linings Playbook,” she felt like animpostor. Anunknown just a fewyearsbefore,with no formal training, shewasstill figuring out her approach to actingandhadn’t thought her performance inthe romantic dramawas particularlystrong.

“Mybest friendwas like, ‘Bradley(Cooper) is amazing in it but I didn’t thinkyouwere that good,’ ” she said. “When Ithink I’mbad in amovie and it’s con-firmed bymybest friends and then IwinanOscar— thatwill give you impostorsyndrome right away.”

Lawrence can be her ownharshestcritic. (Acknowledging the daunting proc-ess ofworking on aRussian accent for“Red Sparrow,” she joked, “watchme getannihilated for it.”) But she has grownmore secure in her abilities andher placeinHollywood.

“It’s important for anyone in their job,especially awoman, to know theirworthand own it,” said the actress,whowrote anessay in 2015 about the gender pay gap inHollywood after itwas revealed in the

Sony hack that she andAmyAdamswerepaid less than theirmale co-stars in 2013’s“AmericanHustle.” “It’s notmaking thesamemistake of believingwhat someonetells you you’reworth.You knowyourworth.”

As she has comemore fully into herpower, Lawrence—already precociouslyself-possessed from themoment shearrived inHollywood—has learned tostandup evenmore firmly for herself.When the subject of her recent “worstactress”GoldenRaspberry nominationfor “mother!” comes up, for example,instead of laughing it off, she fiercelydefends both themovie andher ownwork in it.

“If I ever got nominated for somethingand Iwas like, ‘Yeah, that blew,’ Iwouldtotally go (to theRazzies ceremony),”Lawrence said. “But I popped a rib outdoing thatmovie. Don’t try to tellme thatthatwas a bad ... performance.”

“I admire theway she’s learning tohandle the ups anddowns of public per-formancewhile remaining true to her-self,” saidDavidO. Russell, whodirectedLawrence in “Silver Linings Playbook”and later in “AmericanHustle” and 2015’s“Joy,” each ofwhich earnedherOscarnods, andwho is a close friend. “Shekeeps taking risks, keepsmakingmoviesand,most important of all, keeps hersincerity. Cynicismor talking things downis a dissipation at the end of the day.”

But even as impostor syndrome abated,Lawrence saidwryly, “Many other syn-dromes have come to replace it. You pluckone out and sixmore showup at its funer-al.”

She continued, “There are timeswheneverybody is looking at you, listening toyou, talking about you, and you feel in-credibly vulnerable and it’s hard to sleep.It’s awful. But that only lasts for a fewmonths and then it goes back to normal. IfI could have toldmyself thatwhen Iwas21, Iwould have been a lotmore sane.”

Havingworked virtually nonstop,Lawrence has pressed pause on acting.She has projects at varying stages of devel-opment, includingwith Steven Spielberg,AdamMcKay andAmySchumer.

For now, though, she is happy to bethrowing her energy into other endeavorsshe cares about, such as the grass-roots,nonpartisan anti-corruption groupRepre-sent.Us and theTime’sUp campaign.

As far as her career, Lawrence isn’t surewhat the future holds.

“I no longer try tomake predictionsaboutmovies,” she said. “Itwill drive youcrazy. There are somany things that couldstress you out. Keep your prioritiesstraight. That’smy only advice tomyself. …Don’t believe themwhen they love you,because then you’ll believe themwhenthey hate you.”

Dear Anna,I have been in a

relationship forabout fourmonthsnow, and I believethings are goinggreat. The thing isthatwheneverwehave sex, he is veryinto it, but he neverends up ejaculating.His excuse is thathe has a lot of en-durance/stamina.He then laterchanges it up, say-ing that he is ex-

hausted, or he does notwant to come allovermy stomach.He says I shouldn’t havetoworry about this. It has nothing to dowith findingme attractive. I give himblowjobs and they are great, but again, hedoesn’t come.Once, he claimed that heejaculated twice, but I didn’t get anythinginmymouth. Could it be that he is notattracted tome, or is there amedical condi-tion for this type of thing?—WonderingMinds

DearWM,Amedical condition does exist thatmay

apply to your guy, thoughhe’d have to visita urologist tomake sure. The condition iscalled delayed ejaculation (DE) andhas ahost of potential causes, including:

Side-effects ofmedications, particularlyantidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs andblood pressuremeds; toomuch boozin’(alcohol consumption) andusin’ (drugs—both illicit and over-the-counter); physicalreasons, such as too fast amotion or eventoomuch frequency can lead toDEwith apartner; and psychological reasons likestress, performance anxiety, cultural/soci-etal conditioning, etc., allmay contribute.

But none of thismatters, really. If yourboyfriend doesn’t think this is an issue,then you shouldn’t, either. I’ll admit I’d beconcerned about the “I came twice in yourmouth and you just didn’t notice” line—but if you accuse himof lying or coveringuphis ejaculations, that conversation prob-ablywon’t endwell.

I know it’s hard not to take performanceissues personally, butwhat if you let it bewhat it is— that is, not your problem?Don’t ask him if he’s going to comeor if hecame at all or if he’s close to coming. Givehimand yourself permission to not bebothered at allwith his orgasms.

It’s alsoworth pointing out that thisconversation is usually aimed atwomen.As someonewhohas had plenty of guysquestionme aboutmy ownorgasms, I cansay that I almost never appreciated it. Andif I didn’t come, it forcedme to either lie orhave an unpleasant conversation,when allIwanted to dowas enjoymypost-coitalpizza in peace! I’mnot saying you don’tmeanwell. (I, too, have askedmypartnersthis! It happens!) A lot of the time, suchquestioning comes fromaplace of “I’mlooking out for your pleasure,” but it canendupputting unnecessary pressure andexpectations on our sex and our partners.

Once the pressure is off, youmight findthat his orgasmmiraculously returns. Buteven if it doesn’t, again: not your problem.Leave the door open for asmuchhonestcommunication as you can going forward,in case he does everwant to talk aboutanything, and vice versa. But, if the sexyou’re having is fun and fulfilling, and if heassures you not toworry, then don’t stress.Enjoy it.

“Whenwewere just starting out, ifwetried a recipe thatwas a little bit differentand youhad kidswhowould sit there andsay, ‘Oh that’s awful,’ ‘I hate that,’ ‘It’s dis-gusting.’ That can infect an entire group ofkids,” executive directorMelissaGrahamsaid. “And theremay be that other kid onthe other side of the roomwhohas verydifferent taste buds and theymight thinkit’s awesome.”

The fruits and vegetables and simplerecipes the PurpleAsparagus teambringsto its classes eachmonth are designed tohelp students see healthy food in a newway. For the past 13 years, the grouphasworked to introduce kids and their fam-ilies, often fromunderserved communities,to foods theymaynot have been familiarwith before, and show themeasyways toincorporate those ingredients into a nutri-tious diet. PurpleAsparagus’ flagshipDeli-ciousNutritiousAdventures program isnowoffered at 16Chicagoland schools.

”All of our program is designed to getkids excited about fruits and vegetables,”Graham said. “(It) takes away the barriersabout, ‘Oh this is healthy, this is unhealthy,’‘This is good, this is bad.’We reallywantkids to think about food in away that it’ssomething that theywant to explore.”

Volunteers present different seasonalfruits and veggies throughout the year andyoung participants get a chance to try the

often new-to-them foods alone and as partof a simple recipe they can replicate athome. InOctober, the kids taste-tested fourdifferent varieties of apples. Nextmonth,they’ll learn how tomake their own “carrottacos” from shredded carrots, lemon juice,spices, olive oil and a lettuce leaf “shell.”The organization also partnerswith othergroups for community-wide presentationsand initiatives (Grahamandher teamwereinvolvedwithMichelleObama’s Let’sMove! project early on).

Lead educatorswith the group teach45-minute classes during the school dayonce amonth, and are asked to commit toat least the full nine-month school yearwhen they sign up (monthly, teaching daysendup being about a four- to five-houractivity). Volunteerswith less flexibilitycan serve as assist-ant educators forone session or sev-eral, depending ontheir schedule. Ifteaching’s not yourstrong suit, thegroup always needs helpwith adminis-trativework, aswell (marketing, finance,etc.), or supporters can donate to the causeat events like the upcomingPurple ByNight annual fundraiser onApril 22.

Graham said her group’s focus on teach-ing people how to use and enjoy healthyingredientsworks hand-in-handwithlarger efforts to ensure all families haveaccess to fresh, nutritious food in the firstplace.

In the Philippines, this terribly delicioustraditional food is preparedwith no fancyflourishes. Pork belly is simply cut into

cubes,mixedwithseasoning— “weusesalt, pepper and lemongrass,” explains Strong—and boiled until ten-der before taking a bathin hot oil.

What results from thiswonderfullyuncomplicated process are glisteningnuggets of pork, alternating layers of fat

andmeat, crunchy and soft, oozing glori-ous juicewith every bite. You feel youprobably should stop after one piece; youknowyoudefinitely should stop after twopieces; shame vanisheswith the thirdpiece, and then you’ll likely keep eating itfor as long as humanly possible. Take note,it’s dangerous.

FromLola’s cooler, consider picking upa small tub of Filipino pickled vegetables,for a little sweetness and acidity to comple-ment the pork.

Onweekends,whole roasted pig is avail-able by the pound; it’s cooked over char-coal until the skin pulls off in crisp goldensheets to reveal ultra-lushmeat beneath.“People come all theway from Indiana forit,” boasts Strong.

We’re sure they do.

Ratings key:★★★★ excellent;★★★good;★★ fair;★poor.

OPENING

NOWPLAYING

15:17 to Paris★1⁄2Clint Eastwood’s “The15:17 to Paris”may be the first film fromEastwood that lacks a sense of direction.The docudrama follows three youngAmericans, friends since childhood,whothwarted a 2015 terrorist attack on a trainbound for Paris. They encounter a terrorist,AyoubElKhazzani, an apparent ISIS loy-alist. It’s the last thing hewanted, I’m sure,but Eastwood’s latest ends up feeling like astunt.We love stories of real-life heroicsand grace under lethal pressure. Butweneed them to bemore than the sumof theirintentions.—Michael Phillips, ChicagoTribune

Annihilation★★1⁄2 Theplot sounds like astraight-ahead “Predator” scenario, butwith aweirder variety of predators and apredominantly female ensemble. An extra-terrestrial life formcrash-lands by a light-house somewhere along the Florida coast.The resulting, amorphous phenomenon,called “The Shimmer” (“AreaX” inVan-derMeer’s novel) invites exploration andhuman intervention, since itmaywelldestroyEarth aswe know it. A dozen sepa-rate teams on a dozen separatemissions,however, have gonemissing once inside thetranslucent Shimmer. It doesn’t quite falltogether in that transportingway of top-flight science fiction. The occasional joltsare jolting, all right, as themission encoun-ters a speedy, hungry albino alligator and,later, amutated bear-beast (the lattermakes for a particularly grueling attacksequence). But themovie feels torn be-tween styles and intentions. It’s trippierthan “ExMachina,” andwriter-directorAlexGarlandmakes a valiant go of its con-cerns, but “Annihilation” feels like a short-story amount of story pulled and twistedinto feature length.—M.P.

Black Panther★★★1⁄2 “Black Panther” inbrief:Wakandawas blessed by amagicalsubstance called vibranium.Themetalprovides superhuman ability, and turns theking of themoment intoBlackPanther.KingT’Chaka expires andhis son,T’Challa, is crowned. There are two an-

tagonists: Andy Serkis is vibranium fantaticUlyssesKlaue, andMichael B. Jordan is theAmerican black ops ace known asKillmon-ger.He’s got ambitions for the throne, and abelief in getting stunningly advancedweaponry in the hands of oppressed peo-ple of color throughout theworld.MayMarvel learn its lesson from “BlackPan-ther”:When amovie like this ends upfeeling both personal and vital, you’ve donesomething right.—M.P.

DeathWish★A trauma surgeon at aChicago hospital, Dr. PaulKersey (BruceWillis) lives a fine life in Evanstonwith hissoon-to-be-doctorwife (Elisabeth Shue)and theirNYU-bounddaughter (CamilaMorrone). There is, however, a lot of ag-gression in the air. A fellow soccer parentpicks a fightwith our hero. Clearly he hassomemanning-up to do, and “DeathWish”takes care of his needs.WhileKersey’saway saving lives, three thugs bust into hishouse and kill hiswife and put his daugh-ter in a coma. “We’re gonna get these guys,”Kersey is told by a police detective (DeanNorris), his partner (Kimberly Elise) intow. ButKersey hasn’t the patience or theoptimism.—M.P.

Fifty Shades Freed★★In “Fifty ShadesFreed,” Seattle book editorAnastasia Steele(Dakota Johnson) hasmanaged to pindownher domdaddyChristianGrey(JamieDornan)— in holymatrimony. Theplot involvesAnastasia’s former boss, JackHyde (Eric Johnson), seeking revenge onthe recentlymarried couple.Hewas firedafter attempting to sexually assault Ana,but it turns out he’s got amuch longerhistorywith theGrey family than theythought. The dom-sub thing extends toofar, as Christian controls every aspect ofAna’s everyday life. She exchanges herfreedom for this fantasy life of preposter-ouswealth.—KatieWalsh, TribuneNewsService

GameNight★★1⁄2Most of the truly greataction pictures (this isn’t trying to be one ofthem) are spicedwithwit. A lot of our bestcomedies (and “GameNight” is not tryingto be one of those, either)move like crazyand take the pursuits and evasions seri-ously, or at leastmock-seriously, so that theaudience can, too. Sowhere does this en-semble effort, led by two extremely adroitleading performers (JasonBateman andRachelMcAdams), fit into the equation?“GameNight” itself is not a long night; it’sreasonably snappy. But co-directors JohnFrancisDaley and JonathanGoldsteinplace amisjudged emphasis on keeping theviolence and the action “real,” so at itsmostroutine and generic, themovie forgets it’ssupposed to be a comedy.—M.P.

Gringo★1⁄2 Amild-manneredmiddle-management stooge gets lost, only to findhimself, south of the border, in themostlymiddling action-comedy "Gringo," directedbyNashEdgerton (brother of Joel). DavidOyelowo tests out his comedy chops asHarold, a nice-guyNigerian immigrantscraping by and scrapping for his slice oftheAmericanDream,which involves aninattentivewife (ThandieNewton), a tinydog, amountain of debt and a couple oftruly abusive, criminal individuals asbosses. Living the dream.—K.W.

The Leisure Seeker★1⁄2 There areAlzhei-mer'smovies that cut to the quick, like"Still Alice," and then there areAlzheimer'smovies that pander to theworst sort ofcheaplymanipulative old-folks cutesiness,like "TheLeisure Seeker."Maybe if therewere one crumbof genuine flavor in thisstale cheese, it could have passedmuster,but this is ersatz curd, dressed up by thepresence ofHelenMirren andDonaldSutherlandwithout doing credit to either.— JayWeissberg, Variety

Peter Rabbit★★1⁄2 In the new “Peter

Rabbit” adaptation, the animationtechnology is top-notch, but the spirit ofBeatrix Potter’s books is subsumed intomayhem. It’s the story of rabbit Peter(JamesCorden),who can’t help but snackfromMr.McGregor’s garden. This versionups the ante in theGardenWars, espe-ciallywhenMr.McGregor (SamNeill)dies, and his nephewThomas (DomhnallGleeson) comes toWindermere. Thomas,hoping to sell off his uncle’s property, findsthe “vermin” havemoved in. Peter takesthe feud too far, and “PeterRabbit” de-scends into violence, as poorGleeson ispounded at the paws of the brutal bunnies.—K.W.

Red Sparrow★1⁄2Rising ballerinaDo-minika (Jennifer Lawrence) suffers anonstage injury.Her incestuous-mindeduncle (Matthias Schoenaerts) has a newcareer inmind for her:He blackmails herinto attending “Sparrow” school,whichtrains a newgeneration of sexuallyma-nipulative spies. The faculty head trainsher youngwomen andmen in the art ofseduction.Much of “Red Sparrow” con-cernsDominika’s primary assignment:Cozying up to anAmerican agent andlearning the identity of the apparent dou-ble agent in his employ.Half of the “RedSparrow” audiencewill spendpart of therunning time fighting offmemories of“Salt” and “AtomicBlonde” and theBlackWidow storyline from “TheAvengers.”The other half,meantime,willwonderwhen spymovies becamequite so puni-shing.—M.P.

The Strangers: Prey at Night ★1⁄2TeenageLuke (Lewis Pullman) andhisyounger sister, Kinsey (BaileeMadison),aren’t somuchpeople as pawns.During astopover on theway to dropKinsey off atboarding school, they’re stalked by thesame trio of psychopathswemet 10 yearsago.MomandDad, played byChristinaHendricks andMartinHenderson, getdispatched fairly quickly. One sequencetakes place in and around a neon-lit swim-ming pool,where theMan in theMaskgoes after Luke, injuring him. Thewholething has the air of a knockoff of some-thing thatwasn’t very good to beginwith.—Michael O’Sullivan, TheWashingtonPost

AWrinkle in Time★★1⁄2Meg andheryounger, “different” brother, CharlesWal-lace (DericMcCabe), livewith their physi-cistmother (GuguMbatha-Raw) inLosAngeles.Meg’s father (Chris Pine), aNASA scientist, has beenmissing for fouryears.Mr. andMrs.Murry had been on theverge of cracking the secret of the tes-seract, enabling humans tomagicallyzwoop to other planets, newdimensions.Megan learns the ropeswith the guidanceofMrs.Whatsit (ReeseWitherspoon),Mrs.Who (MindyKaling) andMrs.Which (OprahWinfrey). Together theytesser here and there, to the planetsUrielandOrion. ZachGalifianakis pops up astheHappyMedium, a seerwhopoints theway to themissing father.—M.P.

into a relationshipwith someone special, it’spossible that youwill feel stuck— as if you’rewalking throughmolasses. Perhaps yourlover is not giving youwhat youwant anddeserve in this relationship, and if so, youmight have to address this inconvenient anduncomfortable truth.

keeping from your partner ... secrets thatcould destroywhat is otherwise somethingbeautiful between the two of you.Whateverthis is, it won’t feel good and itmight chipaway at your self-esteem. Address it head on,before it chips away at your self-respect.

GeminiMay 21-June 20Youmight be in a relationshipwithsomeone and sharing finances.There could be amajor expense

thrown at the both of you this week, leadingto an argument or difference of opinionabout how tomanage your jointmoney. It’sbetter to have the argument this week be-cause sweeping it under the rugwill onlylead to resentment.

Cancer June 21-July 22Youmight feel as if your partner isnot being as supportive as he orshe could bewhile you’re pursu-

ing a new career opportunity.The truth isyouwant to focus on the positive careeraspects that are blooming for you, and youwish your partner would stop being so self-absorbed. Have an honest conversationwithyourmate, and if you do need to have a fight,don’t avoid it.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22If you’re in a relationship, then thisweek theremight be a favorableshift for you and your partner as it

relates to joint finances. Your partnermightreceive a raise or other happy news aboutmoney, and if so, it’s likely to benefit you aswell. Another possibility is that the two ofyouwill make an investment together or willdecide it’s time tomake amajor purchasesuch as your first home together.

VirgoAug. 23-Sept. 22If you’re single, youmight feel ablock. If you do find yourselfstrugglingwith a romantic disap-

pointment this week, try to keep inmind thatlosing something is not always a loss. Thekey here is to remind yourself that youdeserve something better.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22If there is a domestic crisis yourmate is going through, then doyour best to be supportive and

understanding. If, however, it’smore aboutthis relativemanipulating your partner’stime and attention, then you’ll need tospeak up. You don’t ask formuch in a rela-tionship, Libra, but you don’t like feelinginvisible.

ScorpioOct. 23-Nov. 21Youmight have some trouble atwork this week if you’re tangledup in an office romance. Be very

careful aboutmixing businesswith pleas-ure. In fact, unless you’re certain that it’sworth the risk, youmaywant to avoid thissituation altogether.

SagittariusNov. 22-Dec. 21Youmight beworried that you’redating a gold digger or someonelooking for a sugarmama. It’s

possible that you’ve fallen in lovewith thisperson but realize you’re the one alwaysgoing in your pocket to pay for dates andother romantic ventures. Relationships areabout give and take. If you’re doing all thegiving, then ask yourself: What do you reallyhave?

CapricornDec. 22-Jan. 19Your partnermight have donesomething so very nice for you athome and instead of you appreci-

ating it, youmight criticize it, or evenworse,not even notice! As a result, your partner’sfeelingswill be hurt and he or shewill be leftwonderingwhy they even bother going outof their way tomake you feel special. Don’tforget to remind the person you love thisweek just howmuch you value them.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18Your lovermight be keeping asecret from you, or vice versa. Ifthis relationship has been

wroughtwith insurmountable obstaclessince its inception, then thismight just bethe painful wakeup call you need to realizethat it’s time to close this chapter of yourlife. Remember, nomatter which one of youhas the secret, the fact that one exists is ared flag. Choose towork through it or haveenough integrity tomove on.

could easily fly in. You’ll feel an immediateemotional and spiritual connection to thisperson. If you’re in a relationship, then you’llhave a chance to deepen the soul space youand your partner share.

KristenWiig,supervillian?Ghostbuster, bridesmaid, MichaelJordan: KristenWiig has played alot of iconic char-acters over theyears. Now, direc-tor Patty Jenkinshas announcedthatWiig will playvillain Cheetah inthe next “Won-derWoman”movie. It’s Wiig’sfirst evil role, unless you count thedemonic Gilly on “Saturday NightLive.” “WonderWoman 2” is sched-uled to hit theaters Nov. 1, 2019.

Toys R Us,RIP?The end appears near forToysRUs, the flailing na-tional chain that was the holygrail of everymillennial’schildhood. TheWall StreetJournal and Bloomberg bothreport the chain could decideto liquidate all of its stores,leaving a hole in the nation’smalls and in our hearts. Thesale could also cause prob-lems for toymakers likeMattel and Hasbro — rumorsare swirling that theymightmerge, which would putBarbie andMonopoly underthe same roof. Weird.

LeBron’snew squadLeBron James is set tohit free agency againthis summer, and hemay leave the ClevelandCavaliers. The Ringer, asports and pop culturesite run by formerESPNer Bill Simmons,reports that LeBron hasonly four NBA teams onhis list of possible desti-nations: Cleveland, theLos Angeles Lakers, theHouston Rockets andthe Philadelphia 76ers.None of them are … aslam dunk. (I’m sorry.)

The digit: 150That’s howmany burgersFlippy,a line-cook robot, can allegedlycook per hour. The robot debutedat Caliburger in Pasadena, Cali-fornia, promising to simplify theburger-making process. But whileFlippy can sense themeat’s inter-nal temperature and, yes, flip thepatties, workers pick up a lot ofslack: Humans still need to actu-ally put the patties on the grill,take them off when they’re doneand add toppings. That’s a lot ofwork, andwhen Caliburger wasinundatedwith visitors hoping tosee Flippy in action, the robotwasn’t fast enough to keep up,andwas temporarily shut off.

‘Westworld’ meets real worldHBO’s hit series “Westworld,”which features robots and debauchery intheWildWest, hit the real world at South by Southwest. Guests werebussed to a secret location outside Austin, Texas: a re-creation of thefictional town of Sweetwater featuring 60 actors and six stunt people infull, convincing character, the Austin American-Statesman reported. Hope-fully, they were lessmurderous than those on the show. “Westworld”Season 2 is scheduled to debut April 22 on HBO.
