G.O.P. Is Off
To Fiery Start
At Convention
By JONATHAN MARTIN
and PATRICK HEALY
CLEVELAND Rancor and
hard-edged attacks dominated
the start of the Republican Na-
tional Convention on Monday as
speakers branded Hillary Clinton
as a liar who deserved to be in
prison and two African-American
Republicans ridiculed the Black
Lives Matter movement.
The divisive day even swept up
the presumptive nominee, Donald
J. Trump. Renegade delegates
forced a floor fight in an effort to
embarrass him, and his top aide
called Ohios governor petulant campaign, Mr. Trumps allies and
for not endorsing Mr. Trump.
The House speaker, Paul D.
Ryan, who is the chairman of the
convention, also distanced him-
self from Mr. Trumps approach to
racial unrest and from one of his
signature proposals.
The unusual jousting among
Republicans at their own conven-
tion gave way to more traditional,
fiery speeches aimed at Demo-
cratic leaders, Mrs. Clinton and
President Obama. The most im-
passioned remarks came from for-

In Trumps Voice, Its a New New Nixon
By MICHAEL BARBARO
and ALEXANDER BURNS
CLEVELAND Let Trump be
Trump, his aides have always
insisted. And let his convention
serve as an unapologetic tribute
to his singular, erratic, untamed
persona.
I want, the candidate has
often said, to be myself.
But on the opening night of the
Republican National Convention
here on Monday, Donald J.
Trump was conspicuously trying
to conjure somebody else: Rich-
ard M. Nixon.
In an evening of severe
speeches evoking the tone and
themes of Nixons successful 1968
aides proudly portrayed him as
the heir to the disgraced former
presidents law-and-order mes-
sage, his mastery of political
self-reinvention and his rebukes
of overreaching liberal govern-
ment.
It was a remarkable embrace
open and unhesitating of
Nixons polarizing campaign
tactics, and of his overt appeals
to Americans frightened by a
chaotic stew of war, mass
protests and racial unrest.
And it demonstrated that Mr.
report would be temporarily sus-
pended, Mr. Putin on Monday
asked for fuller, more objective
information that is based on
facts.
Today we see a dangerous re-
lapse of politics intruding into
sports, he said in a statement.

sias former antidoping lab direc-
tor, told The New York Times in

Killer of 3 Officers in Baton Rouge Professed

BATON ROUGE, La. He
joined the Marines, served in Iraq
and earned a Good Conduct Med-

published author, a nutrition and
fitness counselor, a proponent of
the American gospel of self-im-

he had failed in marriage, ne-

at one point, living on $500 per

spiritual quest to find his roots as
a black man, traveling around Af-

But Gavin Longs life also be-
came a web of paranoid ideas, a
professed allegiance to an anti-

group and a belief that bloodshed
was a better tool than peaceful
protest in the fight against oppres-

On Sunday, Mr. Long died in a
parking lot just off a commercial
street here in a shootout with the
police. It was his 29th birthday. He
killed three law enforcement offi-

On Monday, law enforcement offi-

officers, though his motives other-

Mr. Long had been a resident of
Kansas City, Mo., and it is unclear
what he was doing in Baton

Black Officers
Feel Inner Tug
Of a Dual Role
By NIKITA STEWART
The day after five Dallas police
officers were killed in an ambush,
Montrell Jackson, a black police
officer in Baton Rouge, La., took to
Facebook to voice his frustration.
Im tired physically and emo-
tionally, he wrote, questioning
the nasty hateful looks he re-
ceived as a police officer and the
threat he felt when he was not in
uniform. When people you know
begin to question your integrity
you realize that they dont really
know you at all.
But he was hopeful: Im work-
ing these streets so any pro-
testers, officers, friends, family, or
whoever, if you see me and need a
hug or want to say a prayer. I got
you.
Less than two weeks later, he
was dead, along with two other of-
ficers, killed by another gunman
targeting police officers. In each of
the attacks on officers, the assail-
ant was black, seemingly intent on
avenging the recent deaths of
civilians killed by police officers in
Baton Rouge and Falcon Heights,
Minn.
Officer Jacksons haunting re-
flections before he died echo the
particular strain of anguish facing
black police officers around the
country as the nation wrestles
with the aftermath of killings in-
volving the police.

protests and the fatal attacks on

Ailes in Talks How Melania Trump Sent

To Step Down
At Fox News
Downfall of Executive
Who Changed TV
By JOHN KOBLIN
and JIM RUTENBERG
Roger Ailess tenure as the head
of Fox News appears to be over.
Mr. Ailes and 21st Century Fox,
Fox Newss parent company, are
in the advanced stages of discus-
sions that would lead to his depar-
ture as chairman, Susan Estrich,
one of Mr. Ailess lawyers, said in
an interview on Tuesday.
The development follows a sex-
ual harassment suit filed on July 6
against Mr. Ailes by a former an-
chor, Gretchen Carlson. The suit
prompted 21st Century Fox to con-
duct an internal review and it set
off an intense round of speculation
in the news media and the televi-
sion industry about Mr. Ailess fu-
ture at Fox News.
On Tuesday, the sides were ne-
gotiating terms that could include
Mr. Ailess staying on in a consult-
ing role for Fox News. Ms. Estrich
said nothing had been finalized
about what sort of continuing role
he could have at the network.
Roger is at work, 21st Century
Fox said in a statement. The re-
view is ongoing. And the only
agreement that is in place is his
existing employment agreement.
Mr. Ailess exit would be a hum-
bling and startlingly sudden fall
from power for a man who started
Fox News from scratch 20 years
ago and built it into a top-rated ca-
ble news network and a critical
profit center for 21st Century Fox.
Along the way, Mr. Ailes, a former
Republican operative, established
Fox News as the leading media
platform for conservative politics.
He also minted prime-time stars
like Bill OReilly, Megyn Kelly and
Greta Van Susteren.

TRUMP, AS NOMINEE, VOWS: I AM YOUR VOICE

NEWS ANALYSIS

Failed Chance
To Humanize
Outsize Image
By MICHAEL BARBARO
CLEVELAND It was Don-
ald J. Trumps best chance to
escape his own caricature.
He did not.
After 40 years in the public
eye, Mr. Trump decided on
Thursday night that he was not
interested in revealing himself to
America with disarming tales of
his upbringing, hard-earned
lessons from his tumultuous
career or the inner struggles
masked by his outward pompos-
ity.
In the most consequential
speech of his life, delivered 401
days into his improbable run for
the White House, Mr. Trump
sounded much like the man who
had started it with an escalator
ride in the lobby of Trump
Tower: He conjured up chaos
and promised overnight solu-
tions.
To an electorate that remains
anxious about his demeanor, his
honesty and his character, Mr.
Trump offered no acknowledg-
ment, no rebuttal, no explana-
tion.
It was a speech that might be
remembered, ultimately, as much
for what it lacked as for what it
contained and for the message
those absences seemed to con-
vey: He is content with the an-
gry voters he has won, who
thunderously cheered him on
here, and indifferent about woo-
ing those he has not.
For those grasping for new
signs of humility, generosity and
depth, Mr. Trump offered the
thinnest of reeds.
Inside the Quicken Loans
Arena, a thicket of American
flags behind him, he portrayed
himself, over and over, as an
almost messianic figure prepared
to rescue the country from the
ills of urban crime, illegal immi-
gration and global terrorism.
I alone, he said, can fix it.
But Mr. Trump made no real
case for his qualifications to lead
the worlds largest economy and
strongest military. He is, he said,
a very successful man who
knows how to make it all better.
Campaign speechwriters from
both parties were stupefied.
Its a lost opportunity, said
Matt Latimer, who wrote
speeches for President George
W. Bush. He said he had ex-
pected Mr. Trump to plumb his
personal life and career for the
kind of anecdotes that would
turn him, in the eyes of his
doubters, from a cartoon into a
flesh-and-blood human being.
A little humanity and self-

Moneyed Class Finds Place in Current G.O.P.
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE
CLEVELAND In his unlikely
rise to the Republican nomination
Donald J. Trump attacked lobby-
ists, disparaged big donors and
railed against the partys estab-
lishment. But on the shores of
Lake Erie this week, beyond the
glare of television cameras, the
power of the permanent political
class seemed virtually undis-
turbed.
Though Mr. Trump promises to
topple Washingtons rigged sys-
tem, the opening rounds of his
partys quadrennial meeting ac-
centuated a more enduring
maxim: Money always adapts to
power.
At a downtown barbecue joint,
lobbyists cheerfully passed out
stickers reading Make Lobbying
Great Again as they schmoozed
on Monday with Republican
ambassadors, lawmakers and ex-
ecutives. At a windowless bar
tucked behind the Ritz-Carlton
hotel, whose rooms were set aside
for the partys most generous
benefactors, allies of Mr. Trump
pitched a clutch of receptive party
donors on contributing to a pro-
Trump super PAC.
And on Tuesday night, as Re-
publican delegates formally made
Mr. Trump their presidential
nominee, a few dozen lobbyists
and their clients instead sipped
gin and munched on Brie puffs in
an oak-paneled room at the Union
Club. They had come to witness a

Focuses on Threats to
Nation as He Takes
G.O.P. Mantle
By PATRICK HEALY
and JONATHAN MARTIN
CLEVELAND Donald John Trump ac-
cepted the Republican presidential nomina-
tion on Thursday night with an unusually
vehement appeal to Americans who feel
that their country is spiraling out of control
and yearn for a leader who will take ag-
gressive, even extreme, actions to protect
them.
Mr. Trump, 70, a New York real estate de-
veloper and reality television star who
leveraged his fame and forceful persona to
become the rare political outsider to lead
the ticket of a major party, drew exuberant
cheers from Republican convention dele-
gates as he strode onto the stage of the
Quicken Loans Arena and delivered a
speech as fiery as his candidacy.
With dark imagery
and an almost angry
tone, Mr. Trump por-
trayed the United
States as a diminished
and even humiliated
nation, and offered
himself as an all-pow-
erful savior who could
resurrect the coun-
trys standing in the
eyes of both enemies and law-abiding
Americans.
Our convention occurs at a moment of
crisis for our nation, an ominous-sounding
Mr. Trump said, standing against a back-
drop of American flags. The attacks on our
police, and the terrorism in our cities,
threaten our very way of life. Any politician
who does not grasp this danger is not fit to
lead our country.
Mr. Trump nearly shouted the names of
states where police officers had been killed
recently, as the crowd erupted in applause,
and returned repeatedly to the major theme
of the speech: Law and order, he said four
times, each time drawing out the syllables.
Mr. Trump challenged Republican ortho-
doxy as he promised to end multilateral
trade deals and limit American intervention
in global crises. He denounced 15 years of
wars in the Middle East a rebuke of his
partys last president, George W. Bush
and pledged to help union members, coal
miners and other low-wage Americans who
have historically supported Democrats.
These are the forgotten men and women
with a mixed record of job creation and lay-
offs. People who work hard but no longer
have a voice I am your voice.
He even vowed to do everything in my
power to protect our L.G.B.T.Q. citizens
from the violence and oppression of a hate-
ful foreign ideology. As the audience ap-
plauded, Mr. Trump made a deviation from
that as a Republican, it is so nice to hear you
Facing a restive party on the final night of
a convention that has been unusually turbu-
lent and divided, Mr. Trump seemed to

hall. The nearly-full arena was rapt as Mr.
Trump spoke, and when he began dis-

As Accusations Build, Murdoch Ushers Ailes Out at Fox News N.B.A. to Move All-Star Game

In Protest Over Bathroom Law POWERFUL TRANSFORMATION

Emily Steel and Jim Rutenberg.
In the dark for days, Fox News
staffers finally got word on Thurs-
day about the future of their net-
work.
The news was delivered in per-
son by Rupert Murdoch, the 85-
year-old media mogul who started
Fox News with Roger Ailes 20
years ago.
It was an unexpected visit, and
with stunned employees listening
in Foxs Midtown Manhattan
headquarters, Mr. Murdoch an-
nounced that Mr. Ailes was out as
chairman and chief executive. Mr.
Murdoch himself would be taking
over Fox News in the interim.
Mr. Ailes was not there. Mr.
Murdoch had barred him from the
building starting on Wednesday,
according to one person briefed
on the matter. The person said Fox
Roger Ailes, Fox News chairman, leaving the News Corporation
building on Tuesday. He was barred from his office the next day.

air stars to criticize those who

mination of an unsettling 15-day
stretch for the network that began
on July 6, when Gretchen Carlson,
a former Fox anchor, filed a law-
suit accusing Mr. Ailes of sexual
harassment. That led to an inter-
nal investigation by 21st Century
Fox.
It was a stunning fall for one of
the most powerful people in the
media industry, who built Fox
News into a ratings juggernaut
and a hugely influential platform
for Republican politics.

The National Basketball Asso-
ciation on Thursday dealt a blow
to the economy and prestige of
North Carolina by pulling next
Februarys All-Star Game from
Charlotte to protest a state law
that eliminated anti-discrimina-
tion protections for lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender people.
The move was among the most
prominent consequences since
the law, which also bars transgen-
der people from using bathrooms
in public buildings that do not cor-
respond with their birth gender,
was passed in March.
The league, which has become
increasingly involved in social is-
sues, said that both it and the Hor-
nets, the N.B.A. team based in
Charlotte, had been talking to
state officials about changing the
law but that time had run out be-
cause of the long lead time needed
to stage the game. The N.B.A. said
it hoped the game could be played
in Charlotte in 2019, with the clear
implication that the law would
have to be changed before then.
While we recognize that the
N.B.A. cannot choose the law in
every city, state and country in
which we do business, we do not
believe we can successfully host
our All-Star festivities in Char-
lotte in the climate created by the
current law, a statement by the
league said.

Russias Team MAN IN THE NEWS TIMOTHY MICHAEL KAINE

In Paralympics A Self-Effacing Senator

Faces Ban, Too
By REBECCA R. RUIZ
Russias determination to use
state-sponsored doping to domi-
nate the medal haul at recent
Olympic Games, as outlined by in-
vestigators, did not end there. The
country wanted success at the
Paralympics, too, and several of
its athletes took banned sub-
stances to gain an advantage over
other disabled competitors.
Now, just as Russia faces the
possibility of being barred from
the coming Rio de Janeiro
Olympics because of doping vio-
lations, the countrys Paralympic
team has been told it is not wel-
come at this summers Para-
lympics.
Officials for the Paralympics,
the global showcase for disabled
athletes that will be held in Rio
two weeks after the Summer
Olympics conclude, said on Friday
that the organization had moved
to bar Russia for doping, an un-
precedented sanction in the his-
tory of disabled-athlete sports.
An investigation into claims of
an elaborate doping program by
Russias former antidoping lab di-
rector found that at least 35 drug
violations among Russian Para-
lympians had been covered up by
the countrys sports ministry
since 2011. An additional 19 doping
samples from the last Para-
lympics, in Sochi in 2014, were
tampered with, according to Para-
lympic officials, who received the
names of the implicated Russian
athletes on Thursday.
Hours before the announce-
ment, the International Olympic
Committee said it had identified
45 more Olympians from un-
specified nations who tested
positive for banned substances at
the 2008 Beijing Games and the
2012 London Games. More than
half of them were medalists, fur-
ther establishing that many
performances at recent Olympic
Games were fraudulent.

Carried It Out as a Governor

Kevin Greens lawyers were

It was spring 2008, and Mr.
Green, a 31-year-old who had shot
and killed a grocery owner, was on

lawyers said, dated to childhood;
he was born with his umbilical
cord wrapped around his neck, re-

school and never learned to tie his
shoes.
His was precisely the kind of ex-

Officials Say No Terrorist Link
Is Found for Munich Gunman
By RUKMINI CALLIMACHI and MELISSA EDDY
MUNICH He had been bul-
lied at more than one school. He
played violent video games, and
developed a fascination with mass
shootings. He kept a copy of the
German edition of Why Kids Kill:
Inside the Minds of School Shoot-
ers, a study by an American aca-
demic psychologist, and he was
treated for psychiatric problems.
Somewhere along the way, Ali
Sonboly got his hands on a 9-milli-
meter Glock handgun, and hun-
dreds of rounds of ammunition for
it. And at 5:52 p.m. on Friday, at a
McDonalds in Munich a few miles
from where he lived with his
mother, father and brother, he
started shooting.
Mr. Sonboly, 18, moved on to a
shopping mall across the street,
then to the top level of an adjacent
parking garage. By the time his
rampage was done, he had killed
eight other young people and one
middle-aged person. Then, in
front of two police officers, he
killed himself with his own gun,
the police said.
It was the third mass attack in
Europe in little over a week, after
the killings of 84 people in Nice,
France, and an attack by a young
refugee wielding an ax and a knife
in Germany that left five people
wounded.
But unlike those two attacks,
the one in Munich appeared,
based on initial evidence, to have
no overt links to the Islamic State
or other terrorist groups, officials
said Saturday. Nor did it seem to
be directly linked to the wave of
migration that has fueled racial,

Russia Athletes
Have to Prove
Drug-Free Past
Sanctions Stop Short
of Full Olympic Ban
By REBECCA R. RUIZ
Olympic officials said on Sun-
day that all Russian athletes were
tainted by the countrys state-run
doping system and would not be
allowed to compete in the Sum-
mer Games unless they convinced
individual sports federations of
their innocence.
With just 12 days before the
Games begin, the International
Olympic Committee said in a
statement that all Russian ath-
letes seeking entry to the Olympic
Games Rio 2016 are considered to
be affected by a system subvert-
ing and manipulating the antidop-
ing system.
The showdown between Russia
and Olympic officials was rich
with intrigue beyond the playing
fields in Rio de Janeiro. President
Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had
suggested the doping allegations
were politically motivated and
meant to undermine his countrys
standing in the world. The
Olympic leadership had been un-
der pressure to expel a major
sports power for perpetrating one
of the most expansive doping pro-
grams in history and corrupting
results at the Summer and Winter
Games.
In the end, Russian officials re-
ceived a reprieve, in their view.
The Russian flag and at least
some of the countrys athletes will
be a part of the Rio Olympics. The
burden now shifts to sports feder-
ations to vet Russias individual
Olympic candidates.
Antidoping officials and some
athletes had publicly lobbied for a
blanket ban on the entire Russian
delegation. Anything short of that,
they argued, was too soft a punish-
ment for what the Olympic com-
mittee president, Thomas Bach,
had called a shocking new di-
mension in doping with an un- the end of the line as an independ-
precedented level of criminality.
This may not please every-
body on either side, Mr. Bach said
Sunday, repeating his desire to
balance the individual justice to

WASHINGTON An unusual
question is capturing the attention
of cyberspecialists, Russia ex-

Until now, that charge, with its

Discord for Party

By JONATHAN MARTIN
and ALAN RAPPEPORT
PHILADELPHIA Demo-
crats arrived at their nominating
convention on Sunday under a
cloud of discord as Debbie
Wasserman Schultz, the chair-
woman of the Democratic Na-
tional Committee, abruptly said
she was resigning after a trove of
leaked emails showed party offi-
cials conspiring
to sabotage the
campaign of
Senator Bernie
Sanders of Ver-
mont.
The revela-
tion, along with
sizable pro-
Sanders pro- Debbie
tests here in the
streets to greet

arriving dele- Schultz
gates,
threatened to undermine the deli-
cate healing process that followed
the contentious fight between Mr.
Sanders and Hillary Clinton. And
it raised the prospect that a con-
vention that was intended to
showcase the Democratic Partys
optimism and unity, in contrast to
the Republicans, could be marred
by dissension and disorder.
The day also veered extraordi-
narily into allegations, not easily
dismissed, that Russia had a hand
in the leaks that helped bring
down the head of an American po-
litical party.
Despite those concerns, Dem-
ocrats are hoping that focusing on
Donald J. Trump, the Republican
nominee, will galvanize the party
to rally around Mrs. Clinton, and
on Sunday those efforts received a
major boost when Michael R.
Bloomberg, the former Republi-
can and independent mayor of
New York, said he would endorse
her.
In her resignation statement,
Ms. Wasserman Schultz, a repre-
sentative from Florida, said she
would continue to fight for Mrs.
Clinton from the sidelines.
I know that electing Hillary
Clinton as our next president is
critical for Americas future, Ms.
Wasserman Schultz said in a
statement. I look forward to serv-

paign in Florida and across the

BAGHDAD The Islamic

people, foreshadows a long and
bloody insurgency, according to
American diplomats and
commanders, as the group re-
verts to its guerrilla roots because
its territory is shrinking in Iraq
and Syria.
Already, officials say, many Is-
lamic State fighters who lost bat-
tles in Falluja and Ramadi have
blended back into the largely
Sunni civilian populations there
and are biding their time to con-
duct future terrorist attacks.

Sanders Supporters Remain Defiant as
Email Leaks Cloud Convention
By PATRICK HEALY

PHILADELPHIA Demo-
cratic Party leaders scrambled on
Monday night to rescue their con-

supporters of Senator Bernie
Sanders erupted in boos, jeers and
protests against Hillary Clinton
after an email leak showed that
party officials had sought to un-

for the nomination.
Convention organizers shifted
Mr. Sanders to a more prominent
speaking slot in hopes that he
would soothe his most ardent
backers. Those supporters have
become increasingly frustrated
with the partys embrace of Mrs.
Clinton, whom they see as too ac-
commodating to big business and
Republicans.
Mr. Sanders himself sent a text
message imploring his delegates,
as a personal courtesy to me, to
not engage in any kind of protest
on the floor. The Clinton and
Sanders operations also com-
bined their teams on the conven-

delegates who might be disrup-

The tension reverberated from
the floor of the hall to the stage. By

Last October, a leading
Democratic donor named Shefali

Ms. Duggal wanted a reminder

President Obama and the Dem-

whether it qualified her for the
premium package of hotel rooms
and V.I.P. invitations at the partys

asked whether she could have an

That Russia Hacked D.N.C.

Bill Clinton Stirs Convention Hall

PHILADELPHIA The
Democratic convention formally
nominated Hillary Clinton for
president on Tuesday, making his-

the first standard-bearer of a ma-

underscored by a deeply personal
speech by Bill Clinton calling her

At 6:39 p.m., the hall erupted in
cheers and joyful tears as South
Dakota cast the decisive 15 votes
to put Mrs. Clinton over the
threshold of 2,382 delegates re-
quired to clinch the nomination.
A sea of delegates waved multi-

TRUMP EGGS ON OBAMA CHAMPIONS

MOSCOW IN HACK
OF CLINTON EMAIL
URGES RUSSIAN SPYING
Questions Persist on the
Origins of Intrusion
at the D.N.C.
By ASHLEY PARKER
and DAVID E. SANGER
DORAL, Fla. Donald J.
Trump said on Wednesday that he
hoped Russian intelligence
services had successfully hacked
Hillary Clintons email, and en-
couraged them to publish what-
ever they may have stolen, essen-
tially urging a foreign adversary
to conduct cyberespionage
against a former secretary of
state.
Russia, if youre listening, I
hope youre able to find the 30,000
emails that are missing, Mr.
Trump said during a news confer-
ence here in an apparent refer-
ence to Mrs. Clintons deleted
emails. I think you will probably
be rewarded mightily by our
press.
Mr. Trumps call was another bi-
zarre moment in the mystery of
whether Vladimir V. Putins gov-
ernment has been seeking to in-
fluence the United States presi-
dential race.
His comments came amid ques-
tions about the hacking of the
Democratic National Committees
computer servers, which Ameri-
can intelligence agencies have
told the White House they have
high confidence was the work of
the Russian government.
At the same news conference,
Mr. Trump also appeared to leave
the door open to accepting Rus-
sias annexation of Crimea two
years ago which the United
States and its European allies con-
sider an illegal seizure of territory.
That seizure, and the continued
efforts of Russian-aided insur-
gents to undermine the govern-
ment of Ukraine, are the reason
that the United States and its al-
lies still have economic sanctions
in force against Moscow.
When asked whether he would
recognize Crimea as Russian ter-
ritory and lift the sanctions, Mr.
Trump said: Well be looking at
that. Yeah, well be looking.
Mr. Trumps apparent willing-
ness to avoid condemning Mr.
Putins government is a remark-
able departure from United States
policy and Republican Party or-
thodoxy, and has fueled the ques-
tions about Russian meddling in
the campaign. Mr. Trump has de-
nied that, saying at the news con-
ference that he has never met Mr.
Putin, and has no investments in
Russia.
I would treat Vladimir Putin
firmly, but theres nothing I can
think of that Id rather do than
have Russia friendly as opposed
to the way they are right now, he
said, so that we can go and knock
out ISIS together.
Mr. Trump later tried to modify
his remarks about hacking Mrs.
Clintons emails, contending they
represented an effort to get the
Russians to turn over their trove
to the F.B.I.

It was a tableau of continuity and
a vivid illustration of how depend-

Mr. Obama also used his own re-

It was Mr. Obamas lyrical
rejection of a politics of cyni-

as the keynote speaker of the
2004 Democratic convention,
that dazzled a national audience
and thrust him into the spotlight,
setting him on his path to two

Safer Football? Programs Claim Is Unmasked Baltimore Case Closed, With No Guilty Verdicts
By ALAN SCHWARZ
As increasing numbers of par-
ents keep their children from play-
ing tackle football for safety rea-
sons, the National Football
League and other groups have
sought to reassure them that the
game is becoming less dangerous.
No initiative has received more
backing and attention than Heads
Up Football, a series of in-person
and online courses for coaches to
learn better safety procedures
and proper tackling drills. The
N.F.L. funds and heavily promotes
the program. The league and
U.S.A. Football, youth footballs
governing body, which oversees
the program, have sold Heads Up
Football to thousands of leagues
and parents as having been
proved effective telling them
that an independent study
showed the program reducing in-
juries by 76 percent and concus-
sions by about 30 percent.
That study, published in July
2015, showed no such thing, a re-
view by The New York Times has
found. The research and inter-
views with people involved with it
indicate, rather, that Heads Up
Football showed no demonstrable
effect on concussions during the
study, and significantly less effect
on injuries over all, than U.S.A.
Football and the league have
claimed in settings ranging from
online materials to congressional
testimony.

BALTIMORE The states at-

city police officers awaiting trial in
the death of Freddie Gray, closing
the book on one of the most closely

He was found unresponsive and

CLINTON WARNS OF A MOMENT OF RECKONING

Accepts Historic Nomination,
Promising to Repair the
Bonds of Trust
By PATRICK HEALY and AMY CHOZICK
PHILADELPHIA Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton,
who sacrificed personal ambition for her husbands political
career and then rose to be a globally influential figure, be-
came the first woman to accept a major partys presidential
nomination on Thursday night, a prize that generations of
American women have dreamed about for one of their own.
Declaring that the nation was at a moment of reckon-
ing, Mrs. Clinton, 68, urged voters to reject the divisive pol-
icy ideas and combative politics of the Republican nominee,
Donald J. Trump. She offered herself as a steady and patriot-
ic American who would stand up for citizens of all races and
creeds and unite the country to persevere against Islamic
terrorists, economic troubles, and the chaos of gun violence.
Powerful forces are threatening to pull us apart, bonds
of trust and respect are fraying, said Mrs. Clinton, who
worked on the speech until the early hours of Thursday
morning. . And just as with our founders there are no guar-
antees. It truly is up to us. We have to decide whether we all
will work together so we all can rise together.
Mrs. Clinton radiated confidence, from her pungent de-
livery and easy laugh to the unusually expressive ways she
shifted her tone and delighted in her own best lines. She
smoothly acknowledged her own limitations and trust is-
sues as a public figure and forcefully challenged Mr. Trump
over his claims that he alone could fix Americas problems.
And after 25 years in a sometimes brutal national spot-
light, Mrs. Clinton tried to explain who she is and what
drives her from her Methodist faith to her passion for gov-
ernment policy that could mean all the difference for people.
I sweat the details of policy, Mrs. Clinton said. Be-
cause its not just a detail if its your kid if its your family.
Its a big deal. And it should be a big deal to your president.
It was one of several contrasts she drew with Mr. Trump,
who has barely explained how he would carry out his policy
goals. And she received help from several Republicans and
military veterans who took the convention stage earlier in

Top Donors Leave Sidelines, After 240 Years, Women See a Female President Lifting Them All
Ready to Open Checkbooks
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE and AMY CHOZICK
PHILADELPHIA In a lux-
ury suite high above the conven-
tion floor, some of the Democratic
Partys most generous patrons
sipped cocktails and caught up
with old friends, tuning out Sena-
tor Bernie Sanders of Vermont on
Monday as he bashed Wall Street
in an arena named after one of the
countrys largest banks.
On Tuesday, when Hillary Clin-
ton became the first female
nominee of a major party, a hand-
ful of drug companies and health
insurers made sure to echo the
theme, paying to sponsor an In-
spiring Women panel featuring
Democratic congresswomen.
And in the vaulted marble bar of
the Ritz-Carlton downtown,
wealthy givers congregated in
force for cocktails and glad-hand-
ing as protesters thronged just
outside to voice their unhappiness
with Wall Street, big money in
politics and Mrs. Clinton herself.
This is a good place to be for
a lot of reasons, said former Gov.
Charlie Crist of Florida, a Demo-
crat now running for Congress, as
he glided through the room on
Tuesday. We must have set up
five fund-raisers today. This is the
bank.
After a wrenching yearlong
nominating battle with searing
debates over the influence of Wall
Street and the ability of ordinary
citizens to be heard over the din of
dollars changing hands, the par-
tys moneyed elite returned to the
fore this week, undeterred and
mostly unabashed.
While protesters marched in
the streets and blocked traffic,
Democratic donors congregated
in a few reserved hotels and shut-
tled between private receptions
with A-list elected officials. If the
talk onstage at the Wells Fargo
Center was about reducing in-
equality and breaking down
barriers, Center City Philadelphia
evoked the world as it still often is:
a stratified society with privilege
and access determined by wealth.
The Clinton people would al-
ways argue, Well, theres no con-
nection between the money and
the actions that we take, said
Jonathan Tasini, a liberal organ-
izer and Sanders delegate from

The president would know what
it is like to be pregnant. Top mili-
tary leaders would answer to a fe-
male boss, when there has never
even been a woman on the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. Workplaces and
home life could be transformed
through expanded parental leave
and pay equity. Or nothing could
change. The symbolism would be
supernova-level. The backlash
could be withering.

into an unbroken chain of all-male
leadership, Hillary Clinton ac-

PHILADELPHIA They sa-
luted the valor and vigor of the
American armed forces. They
quoted Ronald Reagan and Theo- unlikely rise to invade intellectual
dore Roosevelt, iconic Republican
presidents of the 20th century, as
well as a beloved Republican for-
mer first lady. They talked plainly
about faith, about instilling good
tion for president. The country
may be one hard-fought election
away from a woman in charge,
making a question that has al-
ways been abstract more con-
crete: How could having a woman
as president alter the experience
of being an American woman?
Women will get fair wages,
said Tammy Keith, 53, a case-
worker who lives in East New
York, Brooklyn, and estimated
that she has been paid about
$20,000 less than her male coun-
terparts over the last 14 years.

acted, the more empowered wom-

Over four days here, the Demo-

tics, seizing on Donald J. Trumps
and rhetorical terrain held by the
Republican Party for most of the
last four decades.

Voter ID Laws Russian Spies SHIFT BY CLINTON

Take a Beating Said to Hack DEPICTS DANGERS
In U.S. Courts Clintons Bid
IN RISE OF TRUMP
Cases in North Carolina Campaign Is Among 3
and Wisconsin Democratic Targets SEEKING WIDE SUPPORT

By MICHAEL WINES By ERIC LICHTBLAU

and ALAN BLINDER
A federal appeals court deci-
sively struck down North Car-
olinas voter identification law on
Friday, saying its provisions delib-
erately target African-Ameri-
cans with almost surgical preci-
sion in an effort to depress black
turnout at the polls.
The sweeping 83-page decision
by a panel of the United States
Court of Appeals for the Fourth
Circuit upended voting
procedures in a battleground state
about three months before Elec-
tion Day. That ruling and a second
wide-ranging decision on Friday,
in Wisconsin, continued a string of
recent court opinions against re-
strictive voting laws that critics
say were created solely to keep
minority and other traditionally
Democratic voters away from the
polls.
The North Carolina ruling
tossed out the states requirement
that voters present photo identifi-
cation at the polls and restored
voters ability to register on Elec-
tion Day, to register before reach-
ing the 18-year-old voting age, and
to cast early ballots, provisions
the law had fully or partly elimi-
nated.
The court also held that the bal-
lots of people who had mistakenly
voted at the wrong polling sta-
tions should be deemed valid.
In the Wisconsin decision,
Judge James D. Peterson of Fed-
eral District Court ruled that parts
of Wisconsins 2011 voter ID law
are unconstitutional. He ordered
the state to make photo IDs more
easily available to voters and to
broaden the range of student IDs
that are accepted at the ballot box.
The decision also threw out
other rules that lengthened the
residency requirement for newly
registered voters, banned distrib-
uting absentee ballots by fax or
email and sharply restricted the
locations and times at which mu-
nicipal voters, many of them Mil-
waukee blacks, could cast
absentee ballots in person.

WASHINGTON Computer
systems used by Hillary Clintons
presidential campaign were
hacked in an attack that appears
to have come from Russias intelli-
gence services, a federal law en-
forcement official said on Friday.
The apparent breach, coming
after the disclosure last month
that the Democratic National
Committees computer system
had been compromised, escalates
an international episode in which
Clinton campaign officials have
suggested that Russia might be
trying to sway the outcome of the
election.
Mrs. Clintons campaign said in
a statement that intruders had
gained access to an analytics pro-
gram used by the campaign and
maintained by the national com-
mittee, but it said that it did not be-
lieve that the campaigns own in-
ternal computer systems had
been compromised.
The Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee, the fund-
raising arm for House Democrats,
also said on Friday that its sys-
tems had been hacked. Together,
the databases of the national com-
mittee and the House organiza-
tion contain some of the partys
most sensitive communications
and voter and financial data.
Meredith Kelly, a spokeswoman
for the congressional committee,
said that after it discovered the
breach, we immediately took ac-
tion and engaged with Crowd-
Strike, a leading forensic investi-
gator, to assist us in addressing
this incident.
The attack on the congressional
committees system appears to
have come from an entity known
as Fancy Bear, which is con-
nected to the G.R.U., the Russian
military intelligence service, ac-
cording to an official involved in
the forensic investigation.
The same arm of Russias intel-
ligence operation was also impli-
cated in the attack on the national
committee, in which it gained ac-

Signaling That Election
Will Be a Fight Over
American Values
By ALEXANDER BURNS
PHILADELPHIA Demo-
crats marked a decisive turn in
their campaign against Donald J.
Trump this week, moving to re-
cast the 2016 race not as a conven-
tional battle between left and right
but as a national emergency that
requires voters of all stripes to
band together against a singu-
larly menacing candidate.
Abandoning their standard cri-
tique against conservative Repub-
licans, allies of Hillary Clinton ar-
gued that Mr. Trump was not
merely another champion of
right-wing ideas, deserving of re-
jection for his views on the envi-
ronment or health care.
Instead, in an onslaught of as-
tonishing ferocity led by Presi-
dent Obama, they used their con-
vention to portray Mr. Trump as a
dangerously unstable figure and a
friend of foreign despots like Pres-
ident Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
Some Democrats suggested Mr.
Trump might have authoritarian
impulses of his own: Prominent in
Mrs. Clintons acceptance speech
Thursday night was a pointed re-
minder that the American system
was designed to prevent the rise
of a dictator.
In effect, Mrs. Clinton and
Democratic Party leaders sig-
naled that they would seek to fight
the general election, to some ex-
tent, in nonpartisan terms as a
clash between the broad main-
stream of American voters and a
candidate they argue would put
the nation in jeopardy.
David Boaz, the executive vice
president of the Cato Institute, a
libertarian think tank, said
Democrats had picked up on an
unsettling theme in Mr. Trumps
campaign. He said the attacks this
week on Mr. Trump as an autocrat
had the potential to resonate out-

Harry Potter, After 13 Years at Guantnamo
With a Twist
By ALEXANDRA ALTER
The biggest book of the summer
isnt a blockbuster thriller or a
splashy celebrity memoir. Its a
play about a middle-aged wizard.
The publication of Harry Pot-
ter and the Cursed Child, the
eighth installment in J. K. Rowl-
ings best-selling series, is being
celebrated at more than 5,000
bookstores and libraries across
the country this weekend, with
midnight release parties featur-
ing costume contests, magic
shows, wizard rock bands, live
owls and butterbeer, the beverage
of choice among young wizards.
The elaborate rollout has all the
flourishes that fans have come to
expect for a new Harry Potter
book. But for many nostalgic read-
ers, this one feels different.
Cursed Child is not a new novel,
but a script of a play a format
that typically isnt read for pleas-
ure and almost never produces
overnight best sellers. And unlike
the previous seven books in the
series, it was not written by Ms.
Rowling herself.
In a sense, Cursed Child is
more like sanctioned fan fiction
than a new work by a beloved
writer. Ms. Rowling worked on the
plays plot with the playwright

Ire for Trump
As He Derides
Muslim Parents
Suggests Islam Muted
Soldiers Mother
By MAGGIE HABERMAN
and RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr.
Donald J. Trump belittled the
parents of a slain Muslim soldier
who had strongly denounced Mr.
Trump during the Democratic Na-
tional Convention, saying that the
soldiers father had delivered the
entire speech because his mother
was not allowed to speak.
Mr. Trumps comments, in an in-
terview with George Stephan-
opoulos of ABC News that will air
on Sunday, drew quick and wide-
spread condemnation and ampli-
fied calls for Republican leaders to
distance themselves from their
presidential nominee. With his im-
plication that the soldiers mother
had not spoken because of female
subservience expected in some
traditional strains of Islam, his
comments also inflamed his hos-
tilities with American Muslims.
Khizr Khan, the soldiers father,
lashed out at Mr. Trump in an in-
terview on Saturday, saying his
wife had not spoken at the conven-
tion because it was too painful for
her to talk about her sons death.
Mr. Trump, he said, is devoid of
feeling the pain of a mother who
has sacrificed her son.
Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, a rival
of Mr. Trumps in the Republican
primaries who has refused to en-
dorse him, castigated him on Twit-
ter. Theres only one way to talk
about Gold Star parents: with
honor and respect, he wrote, us-
ing the term for surviving family
members of those who died in war.
And Hillary Clinton, Mr.
Trumps Democratic opponent,
said he was not a normal presi-
dential candidate.

3 States Seen
As Must Wins
For Trump Bid
By ALEXANDER BURNS
and MAGGIE HABERMAN
Donald J. Trump, confronting a
daunting electoral map and a sig-
nificant financial disadvantage, is
preparing to fall back from an ex-
pansive national campaign and
concentrate the bulk of his time
and money on just three or four
states that his campaign believes
he must sweep in order to win the
presidency.
Even as Mr. Trump has ticked
up in national polls in recent
weeks, senior Republicans say his
path to the 270 Electoral College
votes needed for election has re-
mained narrow and may have
grown even more precarious. It
now looks exceedingly difficult for
him to assemble even the barest
Electoral College majority with-
out beating Hillary Clinton in a tri-
fecta of the biggest swing states:
Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
President Obama won all three
states in 2008 and 2012, and no Re-
publican has won Pennsylvania in
nearly three decades.
With a divisive campaign mes-
sage that has alienated many
women and Hispanics, Mr. Trump
appears to have pushed several
traditional swing states out of his
own reach. According to
strategists on both sides of the
race, polling indicates that Mrs.
Clinton has a solid upper hand in
Colorado and Virginia, the home
state of Senator Tim Kaine, her
running mate. Both states voted
twice for George W. Bush, who as-
siduously courted Hispanic voters

Trump Struggles in Feud

With Fallen G.I.s Family
Rebuke Rains From G.O.P. as Grieving
Muslim Parents Keep Up Criticism
This article is by Alexander
Burns, Maggie Haberman and Ash-
ley Parker.
Donald J. Trump reeled on Sun-
day amid a sustained campaign of
criticism by the parents of a Mus-
lim American soldier killed by a
suicide bomber in Iraq and a ris-
ing outcry within his own party
over his rough and religiously
charged dismissal of the couple.
The confrontation between the
parents, Khizr and Ghazala Khan,
and Mr. Trump has emerged as an
unexpected and potentially
pivotal flash point in the general
election. Mr. Trump has plainly
struggled to respond to the re-
proach of a military family who
lost a son, and has answered their

And Mr. Trumps usual political
tool kit has appeared to fail him.
He earned no reprieve with his
complaints that Mr. Khan had
been unfair to him; on Sunday
morning, he claimed on Twitter
that Mr. Khan had viciously at-
tacked him. Mr. Trump and his
advisers tried repeatedly to
change the subject to Islamic ter-
rorism, to no avail.
Instead, Mr. Trump appeared to
be caught on Sunday in one of the
biggest crises of his campaign, ri-
valing the uproar in June after he
suggested a federal judge, Gon-
zalo P. Curiel, was biased because
of his Mexican heritage. By going
after a military family and traf-
ficking in ethnic stereotypes, Mr.
Trump once again breached multi-

Shirley Babashoff gazed out at the
Los Angeles Basin, tucked in a flat
sheet of sunshine, and sighed. The
same storm clouds that washed
away her prospects of seven gold
medals at the Montreal Olympics
40 years ago are gathering over
the Summer Games in Rio de Ja-
neiro, which begin this week,
threatening a rush of new mem-

denied a gold medal, or any medal
at all, by competitors who were
doping.
Babashoff arrived at the Mont-
real Olympics in 1976 with a
chance to match the performance
in 1972 of Mark Spitz, whose seven
golds sealed his status as an
American icon and propelled him
into a career as a product pitch-
man. Babashoff, a teammate of
Spitzs at those Munich Olympics,
swam significantly faster four
years later only to settle for four
Olympic silver medals and one re-
lay gold. Her career path as a
high-profile endorser and motiva-
tional speaker was blockaded by

RIO DE JANEIRO Worried
about possible terrorist attacks at
the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazils government is working
closely with American law en-
forcement and intelligence
services to identify threats and
thwart potential disasters at the
Games.
Despite its notorious battles
with violent crime, Brazil has
largely been spared the kind of
brazen terrorist attacks that have
rattled much of the world in recent
years, with Brazilian officials long
playing down the nations vulner-
ability to homegrown extremism.
But jihadists are calling for
mayhem at the Olympics, building
on a wave of killings in Europe, the
United States and elsewhere over
the last year, including the massa-
cre of 130 people in Paris and lone
wolf attacks inspired by the Is-
lamic State, that has raised broad
fears about Brazils security
preparations for the Games.
American officials have been
training Brazilian antiterrorism
units on chemical and biological
attacks. They are helping to iden-
tify soft targets like restaurants,
night clubs and shopping malls
that are away from well-guarded
Olympic sites. And they have been
working for many months to train

tumor had been removed from the
stomach of his patient 12 years
earlier, but his doctors had not
been able to cut out many smaller
growths in his liver. The cancer
should have killed him, yet here he
lay on the table for a routine gall-
bladder operation.
The surgeon, Dr. Steven A. Ro-
senberg, examined the mans ab-
dominal cavity, sifting his liver in
his fingers, feeling for hard, dense
tumors but he could find no
trace of cancer.
It was 1968. Dr. Rosenberg had a
hunch he had just witnessed an
extraordinary case in which a pa-
tients immune system had van-
quished cancer. Hoping there was
an elixir in the mans blood, Dr. Ro-
senberg got permission to trans-
fuse some of it into a patient dying
of stomach cancer. The effort
failed. But it was the beginning of
a lifelong quest.
Something began to burn in

A Travel Warning for Miami as Zika Cases Rise
By PAM BELLUCK
Federal health officials on Mon-
day urged pregnant women to
stay away from a Miami neighbor-
hood where they have discovered
additional cases of Zika infection
apparently the first time the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention has advised people
not to travel to a place in the conti-
nental United States.
Florida officials said the num-
ber of Zika cases caused by local
mosquitoes had risen to 14 from
the four announced on Friday: 12
men and two women. They de-
clined to say whether either wom-
an was pregnant. All of the cases
have been in one neighborhood.
Health officials said they still
did not expect the number of local
cases to grow into anything com-
parable to the epidemic that has
raged across Latin America in re-
cent months. The 10 newly identi-
fied patients were most likely in-
fected weeks ago, as early as mid-
June, the officials said.
But the new information casts
doubt over the effectiveness of
weeks of intensive mosquito-con-
trol efforts in South Florida and
raises questions about tourism in
the state, which drew more than
100 million visitors last year.

Obama Urges TRUMP SWIPES

G.O.P. Leaders AT REPUBLICANS
To Snub Trump
Calls Candidate Unfit
to Be President PERIL TO G.O.P. ALLIANCE
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
and NICK CORASANITI
WASHINGTON In an ex-
traordinary denunciation of Don-
ald J. Trumps temperament and
competence, President Obama
urged leaders of the Republican
Party on Tuesday to withdraw
their endorsements of Mr.
Trumps candidacy, flatly calling
him unfit to serve as the nations
45th president.
Speaking in the East Room of
the White House while Mr. Trump
rallied supporters in a nearby Vir-
ginia suburb, the president noted
the Republican criticism of Mr.
Trump for his attacks on the Mus-
lim parents of an American sol-
dier, Capt. Humayun Khan, who
died in Iraq.
But Mr. Obama said the political

AFTER REBUKES
Battle With Parents of

Wide Defections
By ALEXANDER BURNS
Donald J. Trumps unabashed
and continuing hostility toward
the parents of a slain Muslim
American soldier, and his attacks
on Republican leaders who have
rebuked him for it, threaten to
shatter his uneasy alliance with
the Republican Party at the outset
of the general election campaign.
Ignoring the pleas of his
advisers and entreaties from
party leaders in Washington, Mr.
Trump only dug in further on
Tuesday. He told a Virginia televi-
sion station that he had no regrets
about his clash with Khizr and
Ghazala Khan, the parents of an
Army captain killed in Iraq. And in
an extraordinarily provocative in-
terview with The Washington
Post, Mr. Trump declined to en-

will step down next month to take
a job with a private advisory firm,
ending a 45-year career in public
life that spanned the country, from
Boston to Los Angeles, and that
reshaped the image of what a po-
lice commander could be.
The timing of Mr. Brattons de-
parture and the choice of his suc-
cessor were made final only on
Monday evening, and the details
remained under wraps until just a
couple of hours before the official
announcement on Tuesday after-
noon at City Hall.
In detailing the change in lead-
ership, Mayor Bill de Blasio em-
phasized continuity, and Mr.
Bratton highlighted a seamless
transition. But like every previ-
ous change atop the Police De-
partment, the nations largest
force, the news raised a host of
questions about its direction. Mr.
Brattons departure comes at a
time when police agencies around
the country are under intense
pressure to address questions
about racial bias and the exces-
sive use of force.

Joint Effort With Party
Ends in $74 Million
in Cash on Hand
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE
and NICK CORASANITI
Donald J. Trump all but erased
his enormous fund-raising disad-
vantage against Hillary Clinton in
the span of just two months, ac-
cording to figures released by his
campaign on Wednesday, con-
verting the passion of his core fol-
lowers into a flood of small dona-
tions on a scale rarely seen in na-
tional politics.
Mr. Trump and the Republican
National Committee raised $64
million through a joint digital and
mail effort in July, according to his
campaign, the bulk of it from small
donations. All told, Mr. Trump and
his party brought in $82 million
last month, only slightly behind
Mrs. Clintons $90 million, and
ended with $74 million on hand,
suggesting he might now have the
resources to compete with Mrs.
Clinton in the closing stretch of
the campaign.
Shes been doing this for 20
years, said Steven Mnuchin, a
New York investor who is Mr.
Trumps finance chairman.
Weve been doing it for two
months. More than two-thirds of
the $64 million had come online,
Mr. Mnuchin said.
The new figures indicate a ma-
jor shift in Mr. Trumps campaign,
which until recent months was
largely funded by hat and T-shirt
sales and by Mr. Trumps wallet.

Youths Asthma
By GINA KOLATA
Scientists say they may have
found a sort of magic ingredient to
prevent asthma in children: mi-
crobes from farm animals, carried
into the home in dust.
The results of their research,
published on Wednesday in The
New England Journal of Medi-
cine, were so convincing that they
raised the possibility of develop-
ing a spray to do the same thing
for children who do not have regu-
lar contact with cows and horses.
It is a pressing problem because
as many as 10.6 percent of grade-
school children have asthma, ac-
cording to data from the Centers
for Disease Control and Preven-
tion. And there is no cure for this
chronic and frightening disease.
The discovery originated with
an idea that been around for
years: that a growing number of
children were developing asthma
because their daily environments
were simply too clean.
If children are exposed to mi-
crobes that stimulate their im-
mune systems in the first few
years of life, they will be protected
against asthma, the hypothesis
says. As asthma rates climbed, re-
searchers published study after
study supporting what has be-
come known as the hygiene hy-
pothesis.

Animals Grow
Human Parts?
Labs Hope So
By GINA KOLATA
The National Institutes of
Health announced on Thursday
that it was planning to lift its ban
on funding some research that in-
jects human stem cells into animal
embryos.
The N.I.H. announced its pro-
posal in a blog post by Carrie
Wolinetz, the associate director
for science policy, and in the Fed-
eral Register.
The purpose is to try to grow
human tissues or organs in an-
imals to better understand human
diseases and develop therapies to
treat them.
Researchers have long been
putting human cells into animals
like pieces of human tumors in
mice to test drugs that might de-
stroy the tumors but stem cell
research is fundamentally differ-
ent. The stem cells are put into de-
veloping embryos where they can
become any cells, like those in or-
gans, blood and bone.
If the funding ban is lifted, it
could help patients by, for exam-
ple, encouraging research in
which a pig grows a human kidney
for a transplant.
But the very idea of a human-
animal mix can be chilling, and
will not meet with universal ac-
ceptance.
In particular, when human cells
injected into an animal embryo
develop in part of that animals
brain, difficult questions arise,
said Paul Knoepfler, a stem cell re-
searcher at the University of Cali-
fornia, Davis.

Trump Risks Alienating
Military Voters He Needs
Recent Blunt Comments Set Off Wavering
in Crucial Regions of Swing States
This article is by Alexander

Corasaniti.
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. Don-
ald J. Trump is locked in an explo-
sive feud with Republicans in
Washington and has already
faced humiliating defections
within his own party that have
destabilized his campaign on the
national level.
But closer to the ground, he has
also risked alienating an even
more pivotal constituency in the
swing states that will decide the
presidential election: military
communities dismayed by his
crude and at times offensive com-
ments about the armed services.
Starting last week when he
clashed with Khizr and Ghazala
Khan, the parents of a Muslim
captain in the Army who was
killed in Iraq, Mr. Trump has
reignited a set of controversies
surrounding his approach to the
military.
He has drawn fresh attention to
his derisive comments about Sen-
ator John McCains capture in
Vietnam, as well as to his own
avoidance of military service dur-
ing the same war. He attacked

Hillary Clinton has fueled a de-

to command Americas atomic
forces. Imagine him in the Oval
Office facing a real crisis, she said
in her address at the Democratic
convention last week. A man you
can bait with a tweet is not a man

This portrayal has become such
an issue in the campaign that
President Obama was asked
about it at a news conference on
Thursday, where he echoed Mrs.
Clintons concerns. Her charge
raises a question: Is there any
check on a presidents power to
launch nuclear arms that could
destroy entire cities or nations?
The short answer is no, though
history suggests that in practice,
there may be ways to slow down
or even derail the decision-
making process. No one disputes,
however, that the president has an
awesome authority.

be under nuclear assault, the

These missteps threaten Mr.
Trump in the heart of the electoral
map. In several important states,
his most realistic path to victory
hinges on areas with close ties to
the military, including northern
Florida, coastal Virginia and New
Hampshire, and a cluster of towns
near military bases in North Car-
olina, Colorado and Arizona.
In Portsmouth, a seaside town
close to a major naval installation,
several military voters expressed
acute doubts about Mr. Trump.

G.O.P. Pushed TRUMP ENDORSES
To Alter Views RYAN AND MCCAIN
To Aid Workers
Shift in Thinking Gains
From Trumps Rise SEEKING G.O.P. BIG TENT
By JACKIE CALMES
WASHINGTON By riding
his appeal among working-class
whites to the top of the Republican
Party, Donald J. Trump has em-
boldened conservative thinkers to
press their party of business and
the privileged to reshape its eco-
nomic canon to more directly ben-
efit poorer workers it has often
taken for granted.
The policy prescriptions of
these so-called reform conserva-
tives, or reformocons, would not
only break with some longtime
Republican orthodoxy dis-
avowing tax cuts that dispropor-
tionately benefit the rich, for ex-
ample they would also counter
more recent stances by Mr. Trump
on trade and immigration.
And because of a lack of policy
specifics in Mr. Trumps per-
sonality-centered campaign, re-
form conservatives see an open-
ing through which to push their
prescriptions.
What it means to be a conser-
vative is up for grabs, said Reihan
Salam, the executive editor of the
conservative National Review.
Whether Mr. Trump prevails or
the party is left to rebuild from de-
feat, these conservatives in think
tanks, advocacy groups and the
news media and a few in po-
litical office will be pressing for
a new agenda: to update the Rea-
gan-era playbook with an eye to
working-class voters without a
college education who form the
Republican base. Ronald Rea-
gans notions that policies that
benefit the rich and big business
lift all incomes now appear out-
moded in an era of rising wealth
inequality and stagnant wages.
The challenge to the party could
be every bit as contentious as Mr.
Trumps ascent has been. Beyond
strong season, excoriated Hillary
tivist circles, the new breed of con-
servatives has not made signifi-
cant inroads among House Re-
publicans, for instance. And even

IN BID FOR UNITY
After Week of Turmoil,
Nominee Also Offers
Truce to Ayotte
By NICK CORASANITI
GREEN BAY, Wis. Donald J.
Trump belatedly endorsed the re-
elections of Speaker Paul D. Ryan
and Senators John McCain and
Kelly Ayotte on Friday, moving to
heal a deepening rift within the
Republican Party touched off by
Mr. Trumps feud with the parents
of a slain American soldier.
I support and endorse our
speaker of the House, Paul Ryan,
Mr. Trump said at a rally here af-
ter announcing his backing of the
senators. Hes a good man. We
may disagree on a couple of
things, but mostly we agree.
Mr. Trump ignited a contro-
versy within his party on Tuesday
when he said he was not quite
there yet in supporting Mr. Ryan,
echoing a similar line of doubt that
Mr. Ryan, the nations most pow-
erful elected Republican, had cast
before eventually endorsing Mr.
Trump for president.
The endorsement on Friday, in
Mr. Ryans home state, Wisconsin,
had the rollout of a carefully
crafted campaign event. A fund-
raising email was sent to
supporters immediately after Mr.
Trumps announcement. Mo-
ments later, subscribers to Trump
campaign texts received an alert
that said, Party unity will help
Make America Great Again.
He read the endorsement from
a script. But before he got to those
words, he spent several minutes
in the off-the-cuff mode he is
known for. He predicted that the
Green Bay Packers would have a
Clinton and argued that the news
media had misconstrued his sug-
gestion at a previous event that a
crying baby be escorted out.
The baby that had a voice that
was superior to Pavarotti, he
said, adding, I want to sponsor
that baby.
Mr. Trump turned the speech
into a hatchet-burying trifecta. He
threw his support to Ms. Ayotte,
who is facing a tight race in New
Hampshire to retain her Senate
seat. Mr. Ryan and Mr. McCain, an

wanted it to stimulate a conversa-

topic of his. He liked to point out
that he lives nearly in the shadow
of Monticello, home of one of his
heroes, Thomas Jefferson. Mrs.

WASHINGTON The Syrian

with thousands of rebel fighters
pushing into areas of the country

was aided by powerful tank-de-

Saudi Arabia.
Intelligence assessments circu-

Syrian president, Bashar al-As-

But then the Russians arrived,

has sent them into retreat. And

shipments of C.I.A.-provided anti-

For the first time since Af-
ghanistan in the 1980s, the Rus-
sian military for the past year has
been in direct combat with rebel
forces trained and supplied by the
C.I.A. The American-supplied Af-
ghan fighters prevailed during
that Cold War conflict. But this
time the outcome thus far
has been different.
Russia has won the proxy war,
at least for now, said Michael Kof-
man, a fellow at the Woodrow Wil-
son Center in Washington.
Russias battlefield successes in
Syria have given Moscow, isolated
by the West after its annexation of
Crimea and other incursions into
Ukraine, new leverage in deci-
sions about the future of the Mid-
dle East.
The Obama administration is
now talking with President Vladi-
mir V. Putins government about a
plan to share intelligence and co-
ordinate airstrikes against the Is-
lamic State and other militant
groups in Syria, and Mr. Putin has
thus far met his goals in Syria
without becoming caught in a
quagmire that some including
President Obama had pre-
dicted he would.
But even Mr. Obama has ex-
pressed wariness about an endur-
ing deal with Moscow. Im not
confident that we can trust the
Russians or Vladimir Putin, Mr.
Obama said at a news conference
on Thursday. Whenever you are
trying to broker any kind of deal
with an individual like that or a
country like that, you have got to
go in there with some skepticism.

One central fact about the
global economy lurks just be-
neath the years remarkable
headlines: Economic growth in
advanced nations has been
weaker for longer than it has
been in the lifetime of most peo-
ple on earth.
The United States is adding
jobs at a healthy clip, as a new
report showed on Friday, and the
unemployment rate is relatively
low. But that is happening de-
spite a long-term trend of much
lower growth, both in the United
States and other advanced na-
tions, than was evident for most
of the post-World War II era.
This trend helps explain why
incomes have risen so slowly
since the turn of the century,
especially for those who are not
top earners. It is behind the
cheap gasoline you put in the car
and the ultralow interest rates
you earn on your savings. It is
crucial to understanding the rise
of Donald J. Trump, Britains vote
the millions more, not least his
wife and children, whom he left
behind.
That mission has become more
urgent lately, after Germany was
shocked by two separate attacks
in which refugees linked to the Is-
lamic State tried to kill civilians.
Only the assailants died, but the
attacks have left many Germans
angry, anxious and ready to slam
the door shut. There is already
talk of accelerated expulsions.
Onstage, Mr. Ahmad flatters his
listeners, reassures them, owns
them. He tells of his flight from
bombs, hunger and repression.
He sings of minarets and church
bells calling for peace. He de-
clares that terrorism has no reli-
gion, and that refugees come to
build Germany, not to harm it.

to leave the European Union and
the rise of populist movements
across Europe.
This slow growth is not some
new phenomenon, but rather the
way it has been for 15 years and
counting. In the United States,
per-person gross domestic prod-
uct rose by an average of 2.2
percent a year from 1947 through
2000 but since 2001 has aver-
aged only 0.9 percent. The econo-
mies of Western Europe and
Japan have done worse.
Over long periods, that shift
implies a radically slower rise in
living standards. In 2000, per-
person G.D.P. which generally
tracks with the average Ameri-
cans income was about
$45,000. If growth in the second
half of the 20th century had been
as weak as it has been since

been only about $20,000.

AIMING TO ESCAPE
TRUMPS SHADOW
ALARM ABOUT CONGRESS
After Week of Feuding,
Party Leaders Shift
Their Strategy
By JONATHAN MARTIN
and ALEXANDER BURNS
After a disastrous week of feuds
and plummeting poll numbers,
Republican leaders have con-
cluded that Donald J. Trump is a
threat to the partys fortunes and
have begun discussing how soon
their endangered candidates
should explicitly distance them-
selves from the presidential
nominee.
For Republicans in close races,
top strategists say, the issue is no
longer in doubt. One House Re-
publican has already started air-
ing an ad vowing to stand up to Mr.
Trump if he is elected president,
and others are expected to press
similar themes in the weeks
ahead.
In the world of Republican su-
per PACs, strategists are going
even further: discussing adver-
tisements that would treat Mr.
Trumps defeat as a given and
urge voters to send Republicans
to Congress as a check on a Hilla-
ry Clinton White House. The dis-
cussions were described by offi-
cials familiar with the delibera-
tions, several of whom spoke on
the condition of anonymity about
confidential planning.
For now, some of the partys
most vulnerable incumbents are
simply hoping to avoid what they
see as the taint of association with
their standard-bearer.
Two members of Congress
locked in competitive races made
themselves scarce when Mr.
Trump arrived in their states on
Friday. The two, Senator Ron
Johnson of Wisconsin and Repre-
sentative David Young of Iowa,
held events elsewhere.
Senator Patrick J. Toomey of
Pennsylvania, in a conference call
with reporters the same day, was
less subtle. Donald Trump is in a
category unto himself, Mr.
Toomey said, predicting that his

you supposed to cover him?
Because if you believe all of
those things, you have to throw
out the textbook American jour-
nalism has been using for the
better part of the past half-cen-
tury, if not longer, and approach
it in a way youve never ap-
proached anything in your ca-
reer. If you view a Trump presi-
dency as something thats poten-
tially dangerous, then your re-
porting is going to reflect that.
You would move closer than
youve ever been to being opposi-
tional. Thats uncomfortable and
uncharted territory for every
mainstream, nonopinion journal-
ist Ive ever known, and by nor-
mal standards, untenable.
But the question that everyone
is grappling with is: Do normal
standards apply? And if they
dont, what should take their
place?
Covering Mr. Trump as an
abnormal and potentially dan-
gerous candidate is more than
just a shock to the journalistic
system. It threatens to throw the
advantage to his news confer-
ence-averse opponent, Hillary
Clinton, who should draw plenty
more tough-minded coverage
herself. She proved that again

AUSTIN, Ind. On the evening
of March 24, 2015, Sheriff Dan Mc-
Clain got an unexpected voice
mail: This is Gov. Mike Pence
calling. I would welcome the op-
portunity to get your counsel on
whats going on in Scott County.
What was going on was unprec-
edented in Indiana and rare in the
United States: H.I.V. was spread-
ing with terrifying speed among
intravenous drug users in this ru-
ral community near the Kentucky
border. Local, state and federal
health officials were urging the
governor to allow clean needles to
be distributed to slow the out-
break.
But Indiana law made it illegal
to possess a syringe without a pre-
scription. And Mr. Pence, a stead-
fast conservative, was morally op-
posed to needle exchanges on the
grounds that they supported drug
abuse.
As Sheriff McClain called the
governor back, the pressure was
mounting. The number of new
South Africa Ponders Fidelity to Party of Mandela
By NORIMITSU ONISHI
CHANTELLE, South Africa
A week before South Africas local
elections on Wednesday, the
Zithas held a family meeting in
their entertainment room to de-
cide how to vote. Loyal backers of
the African National Congress in
every election since the end of
apartheid, the family decided it
was time for a change.
Now, on a leisurely Sunday
morning, as his wife and daughter
got ready for church, Danny Zitha,
61, a former high school teacher,
said the long-governing A.N.C.
had left him disillusioned because
of its corruption, arrogance and
incompetence. He will never go
back, he said.
Not at all, as long as Im alive,
sorry, he said, adding with a
laugh, Maybe after death.
The A.N.C., which was the party
of Nelson Mandela and helped
free South Africa from white-mi-
nority rule, suffered its worst
losses ever at the polls in the mu-
nicipal elections last week. Unri-
valed for the past two decades, the
party lost control of two black-ma-
jority cities, including the capital,
Pretoria, in what many believe is a
profound change in how race and
the legacy of apartheid influence

H.I.V. cases in the county was

Sheriff McClain, who was not a

quick to reply: I believe the only
thing we can do to stop or slow this
thing is to get clean needles out
there.
As the Republican vice-presi-

Much as Tim Kaine, the
Democratic vice-presidential can-
didate, had to wrestle with his
deeply felt opposition to capital
punishment in a death penalty
state, allowing 11 executions when
he was Virginias governor, the
H.I.V. outbreak forced Mr. Pence
to balance strong beliefs against
ground-level reality: an epidemic
that was growing more dire by the
day.
In recent interviews, local, state
and federal health officials said
Mr. Pence initially held firm. So as
they struggled to contain the
spread of H.I.V., the officials em-
barked on a behind-the-scenes ef-
fort over several weeks to per-
suade him to change his mind, us-
ing political pressure, research
and pleas for help from this re-
mote, poor community.
On March 23, more than two
months after the outbreak was de-
tected, Mr. Pence said he was go-

nomic agenda
By DAVID E. SANGER
and MAGGIE HABERMAN
Fifty of the nations most senior
Republican national security offi-
cials, many of them former top
aides or cabinet members for
President George W. Bush, have
signed a letter declaring that Don-
ald J. Trump lacks the character,
values and experience to be pres-
ident and would put at risk our
countrys national security and
well-being.
Mr. Trump, the officials warn,
would be the most reckless presi-
dent in American history.
The letter says Mr. Trump
would weaken the United States
moral authority and questions his
knowledge of and belief in the
Constitution. It says he has
demonstrated repeatedly that he
has little understanding of the
nations vital national interests,
its complex diplomatic chal-
lenges, its indispensable alliances
and the democratic values on
which American policy should be
based. And it laments that Mr.
Trump has shown no interest in
educating himself.

BACKS SOME G.O.P. POLICY
Proposals Would Give a
Considerable Lift to

By NEIL IRWIN
and ALAN RAPPEPORT
Donald J. Trump sought on
Monday to move beyond a week of
turmoil, using a major policy ad-
dress to cast himself as a presi-
dent who could bring new jobs and
prosperity and warning that his ri-
val, Hillary Clinton, would be a
steward of stagnation.
Saying he wanted a conversa-
tion about how to make America
great again for everyone, and es-
pecially those who have the very
least, Mr. Trump unveiled plans
to simplify the tax system, rethink
Americas energy policy and tear
up trade agreements.
Mr. Trump chose Detroit as his
backdrop, and his speech
though interrupted frequently by
protesters was clearly chosen
to appeal to the working-class
Americans who are at the center
of his political
strategy.
It offered a
broad view of
what the eco-
of a President
Trump would
look like: Tax
policies that
track closely
with what Re- Trump
publicans in
Congress have long advocated, in-
cluding deep tax cuts for the
wealthy and a light touch in regu-
lation, but much more willingness
to disrupt longstanding trade
agreements and international
economic relationships in hopes
of reducing the trade deficit.
He embraced a tax plan issued
by House Republicans this year
that would reduce taxes on all
Americans but would especially
benefit the affluent: It would
lower the tax rate for the highest
earners to 33 percent, from the
current 39.6 percent.
He also called for ending what
Republicans label the death tax.

And the Rio Crowd Goes Crazy! For Whatever! Japans Emperor Humbly Asks: Let Me Retire

Silncio! Shh!
While every sport has its own

But it is freighted. The emperor
represents a postwar Japan that is
committed to pacifism. The cur-
rent government wants to loosen
the reins on the military, and the
prime minister, Shinzo Abe, is po-
litically powerful. If Emperor Aki-

check on the governments drive
to rewrite the past, to discard its
lessons and taboos?
Will his son, Crown Prince
Naruhito, also a pacifist, have the
standing of his father?

The findings, to be released
Wednesday, are the first formal
step toward the Justice Depart-
ments reaching a settlement with
Baltimore known as a consent
decree in which police prac-
tices would be overhauled under
the oversight of a federal judge.
The department started the inqui-
ry at the invitation of Mayor
Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.
To show how officers dispropor-
tionately stopped black
pedestrians, the report cited the
example of a black man in his
mid-50s who was stopped 30
times in less than four years. None
of the stops led to a citation or
criminal charge. Black residents,
the report said, accounted for 95
percent of the 410 individuals
stopped at least 10 times in the five
and a half years of data reviewed.
The most pronounced racial
disparities were in arrests for the
most discretionary offenses: For
example, 91 percent of those ar-
rested solely for failure to obey
or trespassing were African-
American, even though the city is
63 percent black, the report found.

In Rio Pool, Disdain for Dopers Is Bubbling Over
By CHRISTOPHER CLAREY

RIO DE JANEIRO The presi-

Committee made a plea for unity
at the opening ceremony of the
Rio Games last week. But that
hope is fraying as a growing num-
ber of athletes are openly criticiz-
ing competitors who have a his-
tory of using performance-
enhancing drugs.
The friction has been most pro-
nounced at the swimming compe-
tition, where Yulia Efimova of

antidoping activism by athletes
who do not trust the Olympic com-
mittee, the denouncements have
overshadowed some of the ath-
letic performances.
Where once there was polite, if
sometimes awkward, silence,
there is now direct confrontation.
Much of it is along old political
fault lines from the Cold War as,
coincidentally or not, athletes
from the West go after once-
barred athletes from Russia and
China.

Minorities Seeking Pain Relief Are Shortchanged in Treatment Mexican Billionaire Confronts
By ABBY GOODNOUGH
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Roslyn
Lewis was at work at a dollar store
here, pushing a heavy cart of dog
food, when something popped in
her back: an explosion of pain. At
the emergency room the next day,
doctors gave her Motrin and sent
her home.
Her employer paid for a nerve
block that helped temporarily,
numbing her lower back, but she
could not afford more injections or
physical therapy. A decade later,
the pain radiates to her right knee
and remains largely unaddressed,
so deep and searing that on a re-
cent day she sat stiffly on her
couch, her curtains drawn, for
hours.
The experience of African-
Americans, like Ms. Lewis, and
other minorities illustrates a prob-
lem as persistent as it is complex:
Minorities tend to receive less
treatment for pain than whites,
and suffer more disability as a re-
sult.
While an epidemic of prescrip-
tion opioid abuse has swept across

In Broken Iraq, Driven to Suicide by Pressure to Sell Medicine
A Nursery Fire
Kills 13 Infants INDORE, India Leaving his Tactics at a Drug and the companys own ethics
This article is by Falih Hassan,
Omar Al-Jawoshy and Tim Arango.
BAGHDAD If there were one
safe place in Iraq, it should be a
hospital nursery, locked down for
the night with dozens of babies
nestled inside.
But here, not even that is a giv-
en. When a fire started late Tues-
day night in the maternity wing of
one of Baghdads main hospitals,
it quickly engulfed the babies
room. And then, in another Iraqi
tragedy in a horrifying line of pre-
ventable ones, nothing worked.
Hospital workers raced to save
the infants, but no one could find
the keys to unlock the nursery. In-
explicably, no nurses seemed to be
inside. Apparently, none of the fire
extinguishers functioned. It took
nearly an hour and a half for fire-
fighters to arrive.
Some thought the initial cause
may have been an oxygen tank ex-
plosion that set off an electrical
fire. But on Wednesday morning,
only one thing was certain: At
least 13 infants were dead, and
with them a small piece of Iraqs
future.
There was Yaman Muaad, a
baby boy born by cesarean sec-
tion on Tuesday who died a few
hours later. There was Jafar Kah-
tan, a baby being treated for
breathing difficulties. There was
Zahra Hussein, a baby girl born on
Monday, whose grandfather was
frantically looking for her on
Wednesday.
Many more were still unac-
counted for. And at least 25 people,
mostly infants, were being treated
for burns or smoke inhalation.

ATUL LOKE FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON A Russian
cyberattack that targeted
Democratic politicians was bigger
than it first appeared and
breached the private email ac-
counts of more than 100 party offi-
cials and groups, officials with
knowledge of the case said
Wednesday.
The widening scope of the at-
tack has prompted the F.B.I. to
broaden its investigation, and
agents have begun notifying a
long list of Democratic officials
that the Russians may have
breached their personal accounts.
The main targets appear to
have been the personal email ac-
counts of Hillary Clintons cam-
paign officials and party opera-
tives, along with a number of
party organizations.
Officials have acknowledged
that the Russian hackers gained
access to the Democratic Con-
gressional Campaign Committee,
which is the fund-raising arm for
House Democrats, and to the
Democratic National Committee,
including a D.N.C. voter analytics
program used by Mrs. Clintons
presidential campaign.
But the hack now appears to
have extended well beyond those
groups, and organizations like the
Democratic Governors Associa-
tion may also have been affected,
according to Democrats involved
in the investigation.
Democrats say they are bracing
for the possibility that another
batch of damaging or embarrass-
ing internal material could be-
come public before the November
presidential election.
The attack has already proved
politically damaging. On the eve
of the Democratic National Con-
vention in Philadelphia last
month, Representative Debbie

powerful gun-rights group has
emerged as one of his remaining
stalwart allies in the Republican
coalition: the institution on the
right most aggressively commit-
ted to his candidacy, except for the
Republican National Committee
itself.
The association has spent mil-
lions of dollars on television com-
mercials for Mr. Trump, even as
other Republican groups have
kept their checkbooks closed and
Mr. Trumps campaign has not run
any ads of its own. The N.R.A.s
chief political strategist, Chris
Cox, gave a forceful testimonial
for Mr. Trump at the Republican
convention; Mr. Trump has re-
peatedly praised Mr. Cox and the
associations executive vice presi-
dent, Wayne LaPierre.
And on Tuesday, when Mr.
Trump roiled the presidential race
anew with a rough comment his
critics interpreted it as a sugges-
tion that Second Amendment
people could attack Hillary Clin-

point if elected president the as-
sociation rushed to defend his re-
mark as no more than an attempt
to rally gun enthusiasts to vote in

alliance as a marriage forged out

Obama Administration Will Lift a Barrier to Marijuana Research
By CATHERINE SAINT LOUIS
and MATT APUZZO
The Obama administration is
planning to remove a major road-
block to marijuana research, offi-
cials said Wednesday, potentially
spurring broad scientific study of
a drug that is being used to treat
dozens of diseases in states across
the nation despite little rigorous
evidence of its effectiveness.
The new policy is expected to
sharply increase the supply of ma-
rijuana available to researchers.
And in taking this step, the
Obama administration is further
relaxing the nations stance on
marijuana. President Obama has
said he views it as no more dan-
gerous than alcohol, and the Jus-
tice Department has not stood in
the way of states that have legal-
ized the drug.
For years, the University of
Mississippi has been the only in-
stitution authorized to grow the
drug for use in medical studies.
This restriction has so limited the
supply of marijuana federally ap-
proved for research purposes that
scientists said it could often take
years to obtain it and in some
cases it was impossible to get. But
soon the Drug Enforcement Ad-
ministration will allow other uni-
versities to apply to grow marijua-
na, three government officials
said.
While 25 states have approved
the medical use of marijuana for a
growing list of conditions, includ-
ing Parkinsons, Crohns disease,
Tourettes syndrome, Alzhei-
mers, lupus and rheumatoid ar-
thritis, the research to back up
many of those treatments is thin.
The new policy could begin to
change that.
It will create a supply of re-
search-grade marijuana that is di-
verse, but more importantly, it will
be competitive and you will have
growers motivated to meet the de-
mand of researchers, said John

Trump Policies FOSTERED A BIAS
As Aiding Rich
AGAINST WOMEN
Says Hes Faking Links
to the Working Class IGNORING RAPE CLAIMS

By AMY CHOZICK
and ALAN RAPPEPORT
WARREN, Mich. In a full-
throttled rejection of Donald J.
Trumps economic policies, Hilla-
ry Clinton on Thursday accused
him of feigning a connection to the
working man, while advocating
policies that would work for him
and his friends, at the expense of
everyone else.
Seeking to chip away at the per-
ception among working-class
white voters that Mr. Trump is the
economic populist in the race,
Mrs. Clinton said the Republican
nominee merely paid lip service
to being on the side of average
Americans. She repeatedly con-
trasted his personal wealth with
her own middle-class upbringing.
There is a myth out there that
hell stick it to the rich and power-
ful because, somehow, at heart,
hes really on the side of the little
guy, Mrs. Clinton said. Dont be-
lieve it.
Mrs. Clinton referred to the tax
cuts for the wealthy and corpora-
tions that Mr. Trump presented in
a speech in Detroit on Monday,
saying he wants to give trillions
in tax breaks to people like him-
self, which would lead to broad
cuts in spending on education,
health care and environmental
protection.
Although she has attacked Mr.
Trumps business record for
months, her address on Thursday

WASHINGTON For the past
two years, ever since 18-year-old
Michael Brown was fatally shot by
a Ferguson, Mo., police officer,
America has been enmeshed in a
wrenching discussion about how
the police treat young black men.
But this weeks blistering report
from the Justice Department on
police bias in Baltimore also ex-
posed a different, though related,
concern: how the police in that
majority-black city treat women,
especially victims of sexual as-
sault.
In six pages of the 163-page re-
port documenting how Baltimore
police officers have system-
atically violated the rights of
African-Americans, the Justice
Department also painted a picture
of a police culture deeply dismis-
sive of sexual assault victims and
hostile toward prostitutes and
transgender people. It branded
the Baltimore Police Depart-
ments response to sexual assault
cases grossly inadequate.
Baltimore officers sometimes
humiliated women who tried to re-
port sexual assault, often failed to
gather basic evidence, and disre-
garded some complaints filed by
prostitutes. Some officers blamed
victims or discouraged them from
identifying their assailants, ask-
ing questions like, Why are you
messing that guys life up?
And the culture seemed to ex-
tend to prosecutors, investigators

The great American consumer
is very much alive. Its just that
people arent shopping like they
used to, reluctant to pay full price
or even leave the couch cutting
deep into the business of many top
retailers.
For legacy stores, the fallout
from this shift has been profound,
perhaps never more apparent
than this week. Macys, the coun-
trys largest department store,
said on Thursday that it would
close 100 stores, saying they were
more valuable as real estate prop-
erties. Walmart, the worlds larg-
est retailer, announced on Mon-
day that it would buy a small on-
line rival for more than $3 billion.
The hope is that the deal will re-
verse its sputtering online growth.
Other retailers have taken ag-
gressive action, too, trying to turn
their fortunes around. Billions of
dollars have been poured into e-
commerce efforts. Stores have
turned to sharp discounting, tem-
porarily lifting sales but hurting
profits and upsetting partners.
But almost always, these efforts
have led to mediocre results. And
the decisions by Walmart and Ma-
cys, two towering figures in the
industry, have sent a clear mes-
sage: The pressure to keep up
with customers is at a boiling
point.

Mrs. Clinton, speaking about
her economic plans on Thursday

Health Insurers TRUMPS REMARKS

Focus on Costs
The Young and Fit Opt
for Whats Cheap UNABLE TO CRACK 45%
By REED ABELSON
It is all about the price.
Millions of people buying insur-
ance in the marketplaces created
by the federal health care law
have one feature in mind. It is not
finding a favorite doctor, or even a
trusted company. It is how much
or, more precisely, how little
they can pay in premiums each
month.
And for many of them, espe-
cially those who are healthy, all
the prices are too high.
The unexpected laser focus on
price has contributed to hundreds
of millions of dollars in losses
among the countrys top insurers,
as fewer healthy people than ex-
pected have signed up. And that
has created two vexing questions:

War Against Drugs to Officials Sends Signal: Stay the Course
By RICHARD C. PADDOCK
MANILA Samsudin Di-
maukom, the mayor of a town in
the southern Philippines, was
watching television last Sunday
after midnight when he was star-
tled to hear the countrys new
president call out his name.
It was no honor. President Ro-
drigo Duterte was reading a list of
more than 150 officials he said
were involved in the illegal drug
trade. He ordered Mr. Dimaukom
and the others to turn themselves
in within 24 hours or be hunted
down.
We were really surprised
when the president came out to
announce it, Mr. Dimaukom, the
mayor of Datu Saudi-Ampatuan,
said by email. Not once were we
involved in drugs. In fact, we were
fighting drugs. I support the presi-
dents drug war.
Since he took office six weeks
ago, Mr. Duterte, 71, has roiled the
nation with a violent war on drugs
that has left hundreds dead, most
of them poor and powerless.
This week, in what seemed to be
a new phase, he took on judges
and police generals, military offi-
cials, more than 50 mayors and lo-

cal officials, and three men said to
be current or former members of

their weapons permits and, in
some cases, their government se-
curity details, potentially leaving
them vulnerable to vigilantes.
The escalation provoked a clash
with the Supreme Court, nearly
causing a constitutional crisis be-
fore Mr. Duterte backed down,
and it has raised questions about
the list, a McCarthyesque device
of uncertain origin and unencum-
bered by evidence.
How are the lists being pre-
pared? asked Senator Leila de
Lima, a former justice secretary
and former chairwoman of the
Philippine Commission on Human
Rights. Who are the sources? If
they have evidence, they should

time they should disclose the

In assuming the leadership of
Fox News last month, Rupert
Murdoch pledged a fresh start at a
network reeling from accusations
that its longtime chairman, Roger
Ailes, had overseen a culture of
harassment and intimidation.
But on Friday, Mr. Murdoch
made clear that for now at least
Foxs new era will be led by its
old guard.
Two veteran executives with
deep ties to Mr. Ailes were named
co-presidents of Fox News, the
network announced, a nod toward
corporate stability that was also
taken as a sign that Mr. Murdoch
was not yet prepared to fully over-
haul management at one of his
most profitable franchises.

The appointments are Mr. Mur-
dochs first major personnel
moves at the network since the
ouster of Mr. Ailes, whose 20-year
tenure was upturned by sexual
harassment allegations by a for-
mer anchor, Gretchen Carlson.
And it suggested that Mr. Mur-
doch and his sons, James and
Lachlan, are now focused on calm-
ing an unsettled newsroom, even
as more women come forward
with troubling stories about the
networks culture under Mr. Ailes.
Anybody who expected seis-
mic changes was wrong, said An-
drew Heyward, a former presi-
dent of CBS News. This sends a
strong signal to a jittery, shaken
staff that Fox News plans to stay
the course.

ecutive of Anthem, one of the na-
tions largest insurers.
Most Americans with health in-
surance get it through their
employers or from government
programs like Medicare and Med-
icaid. The marketplaces were cre-
ated under the health care law to
give the millions of people not cov-
ered in those ways a way to buy
health plans.
While major insurers continue
to make profits over all, they say
that the economics of the market-
places do not work for them.
Insurers can offer marketplace
plans at four different coverage
tiers, and the government subsi-
dizes the premiums for millions of
people. The thinking was that
enough healthy people would buy
insurance to balance out the costs
for the not-so-healthy.
But things are not going exactly
as envisioned.
People shopping in the market-
places are overwhelmingly choos-
ing the cheapest plans they can
find, according to a federal analy-
sis. In 2014, two-thirds of people
went for the lowest- or second-
lowest-priced plans in each of the
tiers. In 2015, about half chose the
cheapest plans.
The pricing pressure is playing
out on multiple fronts. People with

and his suggestion that Second
Amendment people could some-
how stop Mrs. Clinton, have inten-
sified doubts about Mr. Trump
even among Americans who were
initially attracted to his frank and
freewheeling style.
For a candidate who once
seemed like an electoral phenom-
enon, with an unshakable follow-
ing and a celebrity appeal that
crossed party lines, Mr. Trump
now faces the possibility that his
missteps have erected a ceiling
over his support among some
demographic groups and in sev-
eral swing states. He has been
stuck under 45 percent of the vote
in Ohio and Pennsylvania for
weeks, polls show, while Mrs. Clin-
ton has gained support.
Several Republican voters say
they grow leery every time Mr.
Trump speaks these days, for fear
he will embarrass them, and feel
increasingly repelled just when
they hoped he might adjust his
message to try to draw more peo-

The Failing Inside Mission

To Tame Trumps Tongue
Often-Sullen Candidate Trusts Instincts Over
Aides Coaching, Associates Say
By ALEXANDER BURNS and MAGGIE HABERMAN
Donald J. Trump was in a state
of shock: He had just fired his
campaign manager and was
watching the man discuss his dis-
missal at length on CNN. The rat-
tled candidates advisers and fam-
ily seized the moment for an inter-
vention.
Joined by his daughter Ivanka
and her husband, Jared Kushner,
a cluster of Mr. Trumps confi-
dants pleaded with him to make
that day June 20 a turning
point.
He would have to stick to a
teleprompter and end his free-
style digressions and insults, like
his repeated attacks on a Hispanic
federal judge. Paul Manafort, Mr.
Trumps campaign chairman, and
Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey
argued that Mr. Trump had an ef-
fective message, if only he would
deliver it. For now, the campaigns

qualified and racist.
entreaties, according to four peo-
ple with detailed knowledge of the
meeting, who described it on the
condition of anonymity. It was
time, he agreed, to get on track.
Nearly two months later, the ef-
fort to save Mr. Trump from him-
self has plainly failed. He has re-
peatedly signaled to his advisers
and allies his willingness to
change and adapt, but has grown
only more volatile and prone to
provocation since then, clashing
with a Gold Star family, making
comments that have been seen as
inciting violence and linking his
political opponents to terrorism.
Advisers who once hoped a
Pygmalion-like transformation
would refashion a crudely effec-
tive political showman into a plau-
sible American president now in-
creasingly concede that Mr.
Trump may be beyond coaching.

counsel as his poll numbers have

A Secret Soviet Doping Plan, How the President Came

Decades Old, Echoes in Rio
By REBECCA R. RUIZ
RIO DE JANEIRO Late in
1983, months before they an-
nounced a boycott of the Los An-
geles Olympics, sports officials of
the Soviet Union sent detailed in-
structions to the head of the na-
tions track and field team.
Oral steroid tablets were not
enough, they said, to ensure domi-
nance at the Games. The team
should also inject its top athletes
with three other kinds of anabolic
steroids.
Providing precise meas-
urements and timetables for the
doping regimens, the officials said
they had a sufficient supply of the
banned substances on hand at the
Research Institute of Physical
Culture and Sports in Moscow, a
division of the governments
sports committee.
The potent drugs were critical
to keeping up with the competi-
tion, they wrote in the instruc-
tions.
The document obtained by
The New York Times from a for-
mer chief medical doctor for Sovi-
et track and field was signed by
Dr. Sergei Portugalov, a Soviet
sports doctor who went on to capi-
talize on a growing interest in new
methods of doping.
Now, more than 30 years later,
Dr. Portugalov is a central figure
in Russias current doping scan-
dal. Last fall, the World Anti-Dop-
ing Agency named him as a key
broker of performance-enhancing
drugs in Russia, someone who in
recent years injected athletes
personally and made a business of
covering up drug violations in ex-
change for money.
Revelations of the recent
schemes, which antidoping au-
thorities said dated back at least a
decade, compelled the interna-
tional governing body for track
and field to bar Russias team from
the Rio Games, the most severe
doping penalty in Olympic history.
At the track and field events

Was Alec Baldwin a Victim of Paint and Switch? Bleak Times for Marooned Migrants in Greece
By GRAHAM BOWLEY
Ten years or so ago, as the actor
Alec Baldwin remembers it, the
gallery owner Mary Boone sent
him an invitation to a show of
work by the painter Ross Bleck-
ner, an artist whom she repre-
sented and he had befriended.
The card featured a reproduc-
tion of Mr. Bleckners Sea and
Mirror, a work from 1996, when
the artist was at the height of his
popularity.
So began Mr. Baldwins love af-
fair with the painting an infatu-
ation that has ended with Mr.
Baldwin, who occupies a central
role in New Yorks cultural life,
now pitted in a bitter dispute with
two formidable players in the
citys rarefied world of art and
money Ms. Boone, a prominent
art dealer, and Mr. Bleckner, one of
her notable talents.
This has, to say the least, be-
come awkward.
For years, Mr. Baldwin said he
carried the image of Sea and Mir-
ror in his shoulder bag, alongside
a picture of one of his daughters
and his father. In 2010, he asked
Ms. Boone to find the collector
who owned it and pry it away.
There was a kind of beauty and

Benefiting From Powerful Interests
While Mixing Business and Politics
This article is by Andrew E. Kra-

KIEV, Ukraine On a leafy
side street off Independence
Square in Kiev is an office used for
years by Donald J. Trumps cam-
paign chairman, Paul Manafort,
when he consulted for Ukraines
ruling political party. His furniture
and personal items were still
there as recently as May.
And Mr. Manaforts presence
remains elsewhere here in the
capital, where government inves-
tigators examining secret records
have found his name, as well as
companies he sought business
with, as they try to untangle a cor-
rupt network they say was used to
loot Ukrainian assets and influ-
ence elections during the adminis-
tration of Mr. Manaforts main cli-
ent, former President Viktor F.
Yanukovych.
Handwritten ledgers show $12.7
million in undisclosed cash pay-
ments designated for Mr. Man-
afort from Mr. Yanukovychs pro-
Russian political party from 2007
to 2012, according to Ukraines

ruption Bureau. Investigators
assert that the disbursements
were part of an illegal off-the-

also included election officials.

Seeking Gold, Getting Malaria
Once Beaten in Venezuela, a Disease Returns in Hard Times
By NICHOLAS CASEY
THE ALBINO MINE, Venezuela The
12th time Reinaldo Balocha got malaria, he
hardly rested at all. With the fever still rat-
tling his body, he threw a pick ax over his
shoulder and got back to work smashing
stones in an illegal gold mine.
As a computer technician from a big city,
Mr. Balocha was ill-suited for the mines,
his soft hands used to working keyboards,
not the earth. But Venezuelas economy
collapsed on so many levels that inflation
had obliterated his salary, along with his
hopes of preserving a middle-class life.
So, like tens of thousands of other people
from across the country, Mr. Balocha came
to these open, swampy mines scattered
across the jungle, looking for a future.
Here, waiters, office workers, taxi drivers,
college graduates and even civil servants
on vacation from their government jobs
are out panning for black-market gold, all
under the watchful eyes of an armed group
that taxes them and threatens to tie them
to posts if they disobey.
It is a society turned upside down, a
place where educated people abandon
once-comfortable jobs in the city for dan-
gerous, backbreaking work in muddy pits,
desperate to make ends meet. And it
comes with a steep price: Malaria, long
driven to the fringes of the country, is fes-
tering in the mines and back with a venge-
ance.
Venezuela was the first nation in the
world to be certified by the World Health
Organization for eradicating malaria in its
most populated areas, beating the United
States and other developed countries to
that milestone in 1961. Maribel Supero with her son Daniel

Bolt Slows From 08 and 12. Still, No One on Earth Can Catch Him. Already Loaded With Debt,
By JER LONGMAN
RIO DE JANEIRO As the
king of sprinting and the biggest
global star at the Rio Games, Us-
ain Bolt of Jamaica held aloft his
index finger, signaling that he was
No. 1, during introductions Sun-
day night as a smitten crowd
chanted his name.
Then Bolt proved it again, win-
ning the 100 meters in 9.81 sec-
onds, a coronation that secured
his place as the greatest sprinter
ever. He is the only person to win
the Olympic 100 three times,
which he accomplished at three
consecutive Games.
His main rival, Justin Gatlin of
the United States, the 2004
Olympic champion who later
served a suspension for doping
and was booed on Sunday, took
the silver medal in 9.89. Andre De
Grasse of Canada claimed the
bronze in 9.91.
After the exuberant Bolt ran
Young Americans Shun More
down Gatlin in the final 40 meters,
he pounded his chest. He then
blew kisses to the crowd, hugged
some spectators and carried a toy
Olympic mascot around the track
before giving it away. Finally, Bolt
struck his signature pose, known
as To Di World, cocking an elbow
and aiming his fingers toward the
sky, as if launching an arrow or a
lightning bolt.
He is also favored to win a third
straight gold medal at 200 meters
in Rio and yet another as a mem-
ber of Jamaicas 4x100 relay team.
Somebody said I can become
immortal, Bolt said. Two more
medals to go and I can sign off. Im-
mortal.
Gracious in defeat, Gatlin said
of Bolt: He rises to the occasion.
He is a great runner.
Even an athlete as great as Bolt,
though, can be upstaged on rare
occasions. That happened Sunday
when Wayde van Niekerk of

Kids these days: They just are-

Data from the Federal Reserve
indicates that the percentage of
Americans under 35 who hold
credit card debt has fallen to its
lowest level since 1989, when the
Fed began collecting data in a
standardized way, according to an
analysis by The New York Times.
Some older Americans have
also been shedding credit card
debt since the financial crisis that
began in 2008. But for no other age
group has the decline in the pro-
portion holding credit card debt
been more rapid than it has been
for young Americans who are
often referred to as millennials
the data from the Survey of Con-
sumer Finances shows.
Its pretty clear that young
people are not interested in be-
coming indebted in the way that
their parents are or were, said
David Robertson, the publisher of
The Nilson Report, a newsletter
that tracks the payment industry.
Their reluctance could have
lasting repercussions for millen-
nials, as well as for the financial
system and the economy. Early
use of credit cards has, in the past,
helped young Americans develop
a comfort level with credit that
can last a lifetime and lead to a
succession of big purchases fi-
nanced by debt. Without a sub-
stantial credit history, it is much
harder to take out a home mort-
gage, for example.

By ERIC LIPTON
and RACHEL ABRAMS
WASHINGTON When the
Los Angeles hairstylist Chaz
Dean pitched his almond mint and
lavender-scented hair care prod-
ucts endorsed by celebrities
like Brooke Shields and Alyssa
Milano he sold millions. But his
formula got an unexpected result:
itching, rashes, even hair loss in
large clumps, in both adults and
children.
More than 21,000 complaints
have been lodged against his Wen
Hair Care, and Mr. Dean, the blue-
eyed, golden-haired stylist to the
stars, has found himself at the
center of a fierce debate over the
governments power to ensure the
safety of a cosmetics industry
with about $50 billion in annual
sales.
The Santa Monica, Calif.-based
national distributor of Mr. Deans
hair care line is part of a beauty
care trade association that has
been aggressively lobbying Con-
gress to block the passage of
tough new legislation that would
give the Food and Drug Adminis-
tration the authority to test ingre-
dients used in cosmetics and issue
mandatory recalls for products
found to be unsafe.
The fight has pitted smaller in-
dependent players against the gi-
ants of the beauty products indus-
try, which back the proposed regu-
lations, seeing them as an avenue
toward regaining public trust, and
have the size and muscle to com-
ply with them.
Each side has its champions in
Congress: Senators Dianne Fein-
stein, Democrat of California, and
Susan Collins, Republican of
Maine, for the larger companies,
and Representative Pete Ses-
sions, Republican of Texas, com-
ing to the aid of his home-state
company, Mary Kay, which joined
the Independent Cosmetic
Manufacturers and Distributors
to fight the Feinstein-Collins legis-
lation. Mr. Sessions has intro-
duced competing legislation

Mary Kay and the independent
companies.
If you are in business and are
not involved in politics, then poli-

In Pennsylvania
Is Found Guilty
By JESS BIDGOOD
NORRISTOWN, Pa. She was
the first in her party to be elected
state attorney general. She was
one of the most powerful women
in Pennsylvania.
But on Monday night, Kathleen
G. Kane, the states top prosecutor,
became a convicted criminal.
A jury found Ms. Kane, 50,
guilty of nine criminal charges, in-
cluding perjury and criminal con-
spiracy, convicting her of leaking
grand jury information, and then
lying about it, in an effort to dis-
credit a political rival.
Ms. Kane was caught up in a
web of scandal and counterscan-
dal, threaded with lewd emails,
political rivalries and alleged
leaks. It has cost other state offi-
cials, including two State Su-
preme Court justices, their jobs
and Ms. Kane her law license, al-
though she has remained on the
job as attorney general.
Ms. Kane stared straight ahead
as the word guilty, uttered deci-
sively by a juror in a flowered
dress, echoed nine times around
the courtroom. The lawyers im-

sister to find out what was hap-
pening and tell her that she was
alive, and, finally, made a mad
dash from the terminal to join
mobs of travelers who thought
they might be living through an
episode of terror.
In the end, it proved to be a false
alarm.

TRUMP INVOKES
COLD WAR IN PLAN
TO FIGHT TERROR
AN IDEOLOGICAL BATTLE
Immigrants Would Face
Extreme Vetting
and a Test
By DAVID E. SANGER
and MAGGIE HABERMAN
Donald J. Trump on Monday in-
voked comparisons to the Cold
War era in arguing that the United
States must wage an unrelenting
ideological fight if it is to defeat the
Islamic State. He said he would
temporarily suspend immigration
from the most dangerous and
volatile regions of the world and
judge allies solely on their partici-
pation in Americas mission to
root out Islamic terrorism.
In a speech at Youngstown
State University in Ohio, a critical
swing state where polls show him
trailing Hillary Clinton, Mr.
Trump combined old vows to seize
Middle Eastern oil fields with the
announcement of a series of new,
if still vague, proposals to change
Americas battlefield tactics.
Just as we won the Cold War, in
part by exposing the evils of com-
munism and the virtues of free
markets, so too must we take on
the ideology of radical Islam, he
said.
He again tried to change his po-
litically inflammatory approach to
immigration, replacing his 2015
vow to bar Muslims from entering
the United States with a new com-
mitment to bar anyone from parts
of the world where terrorism
breeds. Once again, he did not
name those countries, or say

Trump Casinos Got Break

On Tax Bill Under Christie
After Fighting, New Jersey Agreed to Accept
Just $5 Million on $30 Million Debt
By RUSS BUETTNER
By the time Chris Christie be-
came governor of New Jersey, the
states auditors and lawyers had
been battling for several years to
collect long-overdue taxes owed
by the casinos founded by his
friend Donald J. Trump.
The total, with interest, had
grown to almost $30 million. The
state had doggedly pursued the
matter through two of the casinos
bankruptcy cases and even ac-
cused the company led by Mr.
Trump of filing false reports with
state casino regulators about the
amount of taxes it had paid.
But the year after Governor
Christie, a Republican, took office,
the tone of the litigation shifted.
The state entertained settlement
offers. And in December 2011, after

tion, legal experts said, but the
steep discount granted to the
Trump casinos and the relation-
ship between the two men raise in-
evitable questions about special
treatment.
You cant tell whether theres
something problematic, but its
pretty striking that this one was
written down so much, said Da-
vid Skeel, a professor at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania Law
School who specializes in bank-
ruptcy law and reviewed the case
at the request of The New York
Times.
The refusal by Mr. Trump, the
Republican presidential nominee,
to release his personal income tax
returns has become a growing is-
sue in the campaign. He has also
boasted of his success in lowering
his tax burden as a businessman,
declaring last year in an interview
on Fox News that only a stupid
person, a really stupid person, is
paying a lot of taxes.
By that measure, the deal with
New Jersey looks remarkably
shrewd. The casinos did far better,

MOSCOW Russia launched a
fleet of bombers bound for Syria
on Tuesday from an Iranian air
base, becoming the first foreign
military to operate from Irans soil
since at least World War II.
Russian use of the base, with
Irans obvious support, appeared
to set back or at least further com-
plicate Russias troubled relations
with the United States, which has
been working with Russia over
how to end the Syria conflict.
While American officials said
they were not surprised by the

Top-Secret Code Released by Hackers Points to Breach at N.S.A.
By DAVID E. SANGER
The release on websites this
week of what appears to be top-se-
cret computer code that the Na-
tional Security Agency has used
to break into the networks of for-
eign governments and other espi-
onage targets has caused deep
concern inside American intelli-
gence agencies, raising the ques-
tion of whether Americas own
elite operatives have been hacked
and their methods revealed.
Simone Biles won the floor exercise to claim her fourth gold medal of the Olympics. Page B11.
Most outside experts who ex-
amined the posts, by a group call-
ing itself the Shadow Brokers,
said they contained what ap-
peared to be genuine samples of
the code though somewhat out-
dated used in the production of
the N.S.A.s custom-built mal-
ware.
Most of the code was designed
to break through network fire-
walls and get inside the computer
systems of competitors like Rus-
sia, China and Iran. That, in turn,
allows the N.S.A. to place im-
plants in the system, which can
lurk unseen for years and be used
to monitor network traffic or en-
able a debilitating computer at-
tack.
According to these experts, the
coding resembled a series of
products developed inside the
N.S.A.s highly classified Tailored
Access Operations unit, some of
which were described in general
terms in documents stolen three
years ago by Edward J. Snowden,
the former N.S.A. contractor now
living in Russia.
But the code does not appear to
have come from Mr. Snowdens ar-
chive, which was mostly com-
posed of PowerPoint files and
other documents that described
N.S.A. programs. The documents
released by Mr. Snowden and his
associates contained no actual
source code used to break into the
networks of foreign powers.
Whoever obtained the source
code apparently broke into either

mentalized computer servers of

U.S. Prepares Enrollment Push Campaign Rookie Steeped in Right-Wing Fury
As Insurers Balk on Health Law
By ROBERT PEAR and REED ABELSON
WASHINGTON Facing high-
profile withdrawals from online
insurance exchanges and surging
premiums, the Obama adminis-
tration is preparing a major push
to enroll new participants into
public marketplaces under the Af-
fordable Care Act.
The administration is eyeing an
advertising campaign featuring
testimonials from newly insured
consumers, as well as direct ap-
peals to young people hit by tax
penalties this year for failing to
enroll.
But as many insurers continue
to lose money on the exchanges,
they say the administrations re-
sponse is too late and too weak.
The companies point to a funda-
mental dynamic in the market-
place in which too few healthy
people are buying policies and too
many sick people are filing costly
claims.
And the uneasy truce between
the government and insurers,
which followed adoption of the
health care law, appears to be
fraying as some of the large com-
panies say they are leaving or
sharply scaling back. Aetna
warned the Justice Department
last month that the company
would curtail its participation in
the exchanges if the government
sued to block its acquisition of Hu-
mana, a major competitor.

As the American financial sys-
tem collapsed in the fall of 2008,
Stephen K. Bannon began to fan-
tasize about destroying some-
thing else: the elite economic and
political establishment that he be-
lieved had created the crisis.
Mr. Bannon, who was named
Donald J. Trumps campaign chief
on Wednesday, was at the time a
highly improbable revolutionary,
a wealthy former Goldman Sachs
banker and a budding filmmaker.
But his blue-collar Southern roots
tugged at him: panicked by the
swooning market, his father, a
telephone company lineman with
no college degree, had sold much
of the stock in his retirement ac-
count.
Steve felt it was outrageous,
said Scot Vorse, his former busi-
ness partner and a longtime
friend.
It was the start of a remarkable
reinvention that turned a polished
corporate dealmaker who once
devised $10 billion mergers on
Wall Street into a purveyor of
scorched-earth right-wing media
who dwells in the darker corners
of American politics.
The website he runs, Breitbart
News, recently accused President
Obama of importing more hating
Muslims; compared Planned
Parenthoods work to the Holo-
caust; called Bill Kristol, the con-
servative commentator, a rene-
gade Jew; and advised female
victims of online harassment to
just log off and stop screwing
up the internet for men, illustrat-
ing that point with a picture of a
crying child.

Donald J. Trump named as his
new campaign chief on Wednes-
day a conservative media provo-
cateur whose news organization
regularly attacks the Republican
Party establishment, savages Hil-
lary Clinton and encourages Mr.
Trumps most pugilistic instincts.
Mr. Trumps decision to make
Stephen K. Bannon, chairman of
the Breitbart News website, his
campaigns chief executive was a
defiant rejection of efforts by long-
time Republican hands to wean
him from the bombast and racially
charged speech that helped pro-
pel him to the nomination but now
threaten his candidacy by alienat-
ing the moderate voters who
typically decide the presidency.
It also formally completed a
merger between the most strident
elements of the conservative
news media and Mr. Trumps cam-
paign, which was incubated and
fostered in their boisterous cover-
age of his rise.
Mr. Bannon was appointed a
day after the recently ousted Fox
News chairman, Roger Ailes,
emerged in an advisory role with
Mr. Trump. It was not lost on Re-

Role in Haitis Cholera Outbreak Trails Director
And His Film
By JONATHAN M. KATZ
For the first time since a cholera
epidemic believed to be imported
by United Nations peacekeepers
began killing thousands of
Haitians nearly six years ago, the
office of Secretary General Ban
Ki-moon has acknowledged that
the United Nations played a role in
the initial outbreak and that a sig-
nificant new set of U.N. actions
would be needed to respond to the
crisis.
The deputy spokesman for the
secretary general, Farhan Haq,
said in an email this week that
over the past year, the U.N. has
become convinced that it needs to
do much more regarding its own
involvement in the initial out-
break and the suffering of those
affected by cholera. He added
that a new response will be pre-
sented publicly within the next
two months, once it has been fully
elaborated, agreed with the
Haitian authorities and discussed
with member states.
The statement comes on the
heels of a confidential report sent
to Mr. Ban by a longtime United
Nations adviser on Aug. 8. Written
high-level denial of any involve-
versity law professor who serves
as one of a few dozen experts,
known as special rapporteurs,
who advise the organization on
human rights issues, the draft lan-
guage stated plainly that the epi-
demic would not have broken out
but for the actions of the United
Nations.

of a slave revolt that was directed

U.S. Concedes Seattles Young TRUMPS DECLINE

It Postponed Face a Future IS SEEN AS THREAT
Iran Payment In Scary Flux
TO G.O.P. CONTROL
G.O.P. Cites Ransom Millennials Unsettled
to Free 3 Americans by Debt and Politics SENATE SHIFT POSSIBLE

By DAVID E. SANGER By KIRK JOHNSON

The State Department con-
ceded for the first time on Thurs-
day that it delayed making a $400
million payment to Iran for sev-
eral hours in January to retain
maximum leverage and ensure
that three American prisoners
were released the same day.
For months the Obama admin-
istration had maintained that the
payment was part of a settlement
over an old dispute and did not
amount to a ransom for the re-
lease of the Americans. Instead,
administration officials said, it
was the first installment of the $1.7
billion that the United States in-
tends to pay Iran to reimburse it
for military equipment it bought
before the Iranian revolution that
the United States never delivered.
But at a briefing on Thursday,
John Kirby, the State Department
spokesman, said the United
States took advantage of the
leverage it felt it had that week-
end in mid-January to obtain the
release of the hostages and to
make sure they got out safely and
efficiently.
Republicans opposed to the nu-
clear deal President Obama
reached with Iran have described
the payment as ransom and a fur-
ther sign of his administrations
feckless dealings with Tehran.
Administration officials have
said that the two transactions
were negotiated entirely sepa-
rately over a period of years. That
they came together on one week-
end reflected a desire on the part
of Secretary of State John Kerry
and his counterpart, Mohammad
Javad Zarif, the Iranian foreign
minister, to set aside a series of
disputes, complete the nuclear
deal and try to remove irritants
from the relationship between two
longtime rivals.
The acknowledgment by Mr.
Kirby on Thursday touched off a
torrent of criticism from Republi-
cans.
It was ransom, said Repre-
sentative Ed Royce of California,

Five-year-old Omran Daqneesh was rescued Wednesday after an airstrike in Aleppo, Syria.
An Injured Child, Symbol of Syrian Suffering

coated with gray dust and en-
crusted blood. His little feet barely
extend beyond his seat. He stares,
bewildered, shocked and, above
all, weary, as if channeling the
mood of Syria.
The boy, identified by medical
workers as Omran Daqneesh, 5,
was pulled from a damaged build-

Russian airstrike in the northern
city of Aleppo. He was one of 12

At age 31, she seems to be. This
year she won a coveted spot here
at a nonprofit tech school for wom-

found jobs with starting salaries
averaging more than $90,000 a
year. Seattle, where she came af-
ter college in Utah to study musi-
cal theater, is booming with cul-
ture and youthful energy.
But again and again, life has
taught Ms. Boshart, and others in
her generation, that control can be
elusive. In the dot-com crash of
the early 2000s, her family lost the
college savings they had been
putting aside for her. Her father, a
nurse, was laid off after 35 years
on the job. Her sister and brother-
in-law lost their house during the
Great Recession. And very little in
the world around Ms. Boshart has
led her to feel a sense of comfort
and ease: not the soaring costs of
living in Seattle, not the whirlwind
roar of reinvention in the tech
world, certainly not the barbed
clamor of national politics.
Even for someone who seems to
have drawn one of her genera-

Fears That Demoralized
Voters Wont Show
Up at Polls
By JONATHAN MARTIN
Donald J. Trumps struggling
candidacy has now become a di-
rect threat to Republican control
of Congress, significantly increas-
ing the likelihood that Democrats
will take control of the Senate and
cut substantially into the House
Republican majority next year.
Mr. Trumps string of inflamma-
tory statements in the weeks
since his nominating convention
last month has sent him tumbling
in nearly every state with a con-
tested Senate race, raising Repub-
lican fears that their own
demoralized voters will not show
up to vote, independents will
abandon the entire Republican
ticket and energized Democrats
will flock to the polls.
While Republicans anticipate
that their down-ballot candidates
will be able to outpace Mr.
Trumps share of the vote, na-
tional and local party officials and
strategists are increasingly con-
cerned that he is in danger of be-
ing so soundly defeated that even
their best-prepared candidates
will not be able to withstand the
backlash to the top of the ticket.
People are getting pretty ner-
vous about our candidates be-
cause hes in a death spiral here
and nobody knows where the bot-
tom is at, said Senator Lindsey

lican who is close to many of his

Accused of Fabricating Robbery, Swimmers Fuel Tension in Brazil A Grim Fight for Viacom Ends
By SIMON ROMERO
RIO DE JANEIRO Soon after
the first news media reports sur-
faced Sunday morning of an
armed assault on four American
swimmers, the athletes were in-
terviewed at the United States
Olympic teams hospitality house
by State Department officials, na-
tional swim team officials and
Olympic officials. They all agreed
that the swimmers should avoid
further attention and that the
United States Olympic Committee
would soon put out a statement.
But Ryan Lochte, a 12-time
medal winner, left the hospitality
house and walked across the
street to Ipanema Beach, where
he gave a lurid interview to NBC,
describing a gun-to-head holdup
by men identifying themselves as
police officers.
Mr. Lochtes account touched
off a dispute that quickly tran-
scended sports, emerging as a
point of tension between the
United States and Brazil as the au-
thorities in Rio de Janeiro faced
scrutiny over their security
preparations for the Olympics in a
city on edge over a crime wave
and gun battles between drug
gangs and the police.
On Thursday, Mr. Lochtes ac-
count came under siege by the
Brazilian police in an internation-
ally televised news conference.
They said he had fabricated his
description of the episode, damag-
ing Rios image at its moment on
the global stage.

The fight over Sumner M. Red-

over, and the 93-year-old mogul
has won.
A truce has been reached in the
vicious corporate battle that pit-
ted Mr. Redstone, who controls Vi-
acom and CBS, and his daughter,
Shari Redstone, against his long-
time confidants and directors at
Viacom, according to two people
briefed on the agreement.
The two sides have completed a
settlement agreement that puts
an end to messy legal battles in
Massachusetts, Delaware and
California over whether Mr. Red-
stone had the mental capacity to
make decisions about his busi-
nesses and whether he was being
manipulated by Ms. Redstone,
who was long estranged from her
father before they recently recon-
ciled.
Terms of the settlement
which firmly put the future of the
corporate empire under the con-
trol of Mr. Redstone and his
daughter include the dismissal
of Philippe P. Dauman as chief ex-
ecutive of Viacom, the belea-
guered media company that owns
the MTV, Comedy Central and
Nickelodeon cable television net-
works and the Paramount Pic-
tures film and television studio.

about $72 million.
Viacoms board met on Thurs-
day and approved the settlement,
said the people briefed on the
agreement, who spoke on the con-
dition of anonymity because it had
not been made public.
Mr. Redstone, who is in poor
health, controls about 80 percent
of the voting shares in Viacom and
CBS through National Amuse-
ments, the private theater chain
company started by his father.
The fight over Mr. Redstones

unexpectedly ousted Mr. Dauman

extremist group that has terror-

campaign of murder, kidnapping,

But in its aggressive hunt for
Boko Haram fighters, the Ni-

detained scores of civilians, in-

weeks or months. And sometimes,
activists say, innocent people are

MOSCOW From a certain
perspective, certainly the Krem-

seen as treasonous, a brazen be-

In a series of public meetings on
Capitol Hill, Mr. Kara-Murza, a
leader in the Russian opposition,
urged American lawmakers to ex-
pand economic sanctions against
the Russian government under a
law known as the Magnitsky Act.
That would hasten political
change in Russia, he argued.
Back in Moscow a month later,

Segregation, the Neighbor That Wont Leave
An American Truth Endures Even for Affluent Blacks
By JOHN ELIGON

MILWAUKEE Their
daughter was sick and they
needed family around to help
care for her, so JoAnne and
Maanaan Sabir took an unex-
pected detour.
They had spent years blow-
ing past mileposts: earning ad-
vanced degrees and six-figure
incomes, buying a 2,500-
square-foot Victorian with
hardwood floors. Yet here they
were, both 37, moving to a cor-
ner of town pocked by empty
lots, cramming into an apart-
ment above Ms. Sabirs mother,
in the very duplex that Ms.
Sabirs grandparents had
bought six decades earlier.
Their new dwelling was in a
part of the Lindsay Heights
neighborhood where more
than one in three families lives
in poverty; gunshots were too
often a part of the nighttime
soundtrack. They planned to
leave once their daughter,
I win, I lose, she had said in an
interview about pressure a few
hours earlier. I dont want to re-
gret after.
For all their egalitarian aspira-
tions, embodied by the parade in
the opening ceremony, the
Olympics are a highly lopsided af-
fair. Through Saturday afternoon,
the five most victorious countries
had claimed nearly 40 percent of
all the medals, and the top 10
owned about 55 percent.
Most countries more than 120
as of Friday go home with noth-
ing. For them, the Games are not
so much about tallying up glories
as staving off embarrassment.
And for this sizable contingent,
there is a huge difference between
zero medals and one.

TRUMPS EMPIRE:
A MAZE OF DEBTS
AND OPAQUE TIES
U.S. HOLDINGS EXAMINED
At Least $650 Million Is
Owed by Republican
Nominees Firms
By SUSANNE CRAIG
On the campaign trail, Donald J.
Trump, the Republican presiden-
tial nominee, has sold himself as a
businessman who has made bil-
lions of dollars and is beholden to
no one.
But an investigation by The
New York Times into the financial
maze of Mr. Trumps real estate
holdings in the United States re-
veals that companies he owns
have at least $650 million in debt
twice the amount than can be
gleaned from public filings he has
made as part of his bid for the
White House. The Timess inquiry
also found that Mr. Trumps for-
tunes depend deeply on a wide ar-
ray of financial backers, including
one he has cited in attacks during
his campaign.
For example, an office building
on Avenue of the Americas in
Manhattan, of which Mr. Trump is
part owner, carries a $950 million
loan. Among the lenders: the
Bank of China, one of the largest
banks in a country that Mr. Trump
has railed against as an economic
foe of the United States, and Gold-
man Sachs, a financial institution
he has said controls Hillary Clin-
ton, the Democratic nominee, af-
ter it paid her $675,000 in speak-
ing fees.
Real estate projects often in-
volve complex ownership and
mortgage structures. And given
Mr. Trumps long real estate ca-
reer in the United States and
abroad, as well as his claim that
his personal wealth exceeds $10
billion, it is safe to say that no pre-

For years the Bill, Hillary and

thrived largely on the generosity
of foreign donors and individuals
who gave hundreds of millions of
dollars to the global charity. But
now, as Mrs. Clinton seeks the
White House, the funding of the
sprawling philanthropy has be-
come an Achilles heel for her
campaign and, if she is victorious,
potentially her administration as
well.
With Mrs. Clinton facing accu-

Renting to Own TRUMP CAMPAIGN

Gains in Favor,
And Risks Rise
When Landlords Win,
and Tenants Pack Up
By ALEXANDRA STEVENSON
and MATTHEW GOLDSTEIN
COLUMBIA, S.C. Alex Szka-
radek is a landlord who seems to
have the best of both worlds.
Mr. Szkaradek, 36, collects rent,
but he never has to pay for repairs
on any of the more than 5,500
homes many of them rundown
that his firm manages across
the country.
The firm, Vision Property Man-
agement, blurs the line between
what it means to be a renter and a
homeowner. These companies do
not offer regular leases or mort-
gages they offer rent to own
contracts on homes that require
tenants to make all repairs, no
matter how big or small.
Mr. Szkaradek says Vision, a
leader in the fast-growing market,
is bringing the dream of home-
ownership to Americans who lack
good credit or are too poor to qual-
ify for mortgages.
In many communities, housing
prices have recovered from the fi-
nancial crisis. At the bottom end,
however, banks have all but
stopped making loans for homes
worth less than $100,000, leaving
millions of people with few op-
tions.
But these rent-to-own agree-
ments reside in a gray area of the
law. An examination by The New
York Times of contracts and court
filings, as well as interviews with
housing lawyers and more than a
dozen of Visions customers
across the country, found that
these deals are risky, lack con-
sumer protections and may not be
enforceable in some states.
Most tenants walk away with
nothing, having sunk money for
rent and repairs into homes they
had once hoped to own. Others
faced surprise evictions, having
signed a contract that did not dis-
close what repairs were needed,
yet set a deadline for making sure
the home was up to local housing
code. As different tenants move in
and out of the same property over
the course of years, many homes
fall further into disrepair.
A recent report from the Na-
tional Consumer Law Center
found similar issues with certain

As the Last Olympians Leave, Trump, Claims of Rigged Vote
Rio Is Altered, if Not Reborn And Issues of Racial Politics
By ANDREW JACOBS
RIO DE JANEIRO There
have been cost overruns and com-
plaints about spending billions on
a mega-event when teachers have
gone unpaid. Critics say upscale
areas have been favored at the ex-
pense of slum dwellers. A pledge
to clean up Rio de Janeiros pol-
luted bay went unfulfilled, while
the promise of law and order now
feels like a cruel taunt in the face
of rising crime.
But despite the criticism, the
2016 Summer Olympics in Rio
have profoundly altered this city
of six million, yielding a revital-
ized port; a new subway line; and
a flush of municipal projects, big
and small, that had long been on
the wish list of city planners.
If we set aside our political
passions, its plain to see that the
Olympics have created an enor-
mous legacy for Rio, said Pedro
Corra do Lago, a historian, econ-
omist and former president of
Brazils national library. These
are improvements that might
have otherwise taken 20 or 30
years to realize.
To many, it has become an arti-
cle of faith that the modern
Olympics are a drain on public cof-
fers, a sop to corporate interests
and a vanity project for glory-
seeking leaders hoping to burnish
their legacies and their nations
standing on the world stage.

As he seeks to revive his embat-

has seized on a new argument to
rally his supporters and to explain
away a possible defeat in Novem-
ber: that Democrats are prepar-
ing to exploit weak voter identifi-
cation laws to win a stolen elec-
tion through fraudulent voting.
The claim has spurred outrage
among Democrats and has
alarmed some Republicans who
worry his tactics will backfire, an-
gering minority voters and threat-
ening the partys chances in close
races down the ballot.
Since 2010, Republican gover-
nors and Republican-held state
legislatures have fought for strict-
er voter identification laws, which

Democrats argue are intended to

voters, many of them black and
Hispanic, who tend to vote

But Mr. Trumps language has
moved beyond his partys call for
rigid identification requirements
and the unfounded claims that
polls are skewed to predictions
of outright theft of the November
election. And his warnings have
been cast in increasingly urgent
and racially suggestive language,
hinting that the only legitimate
outcome in certain states would
be his victory.

cently made such an argument on

Party in a Bind as Some
Emphasize Races
Down the Ballot
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE
and RACHEL SHOREY
Donald J. Trump is leaning
heavily on Republican Party orga-
nizations to provide crucial cam-
paign functions like getting out
the vote, digital outreach and
fund-raising, at a time when some
leading Republicans have called
for party officials to cut off Mr.
Trump and focus instead on main-
taining control of Congress.
Despite an influx of campaign
cash from small donors in July, Mr.
Trumps operation still largely re-
sembles the bare-bones outfit that
he rode to victory during the pri-
mary season, more concert tour
than presidential campaign, ac-
cording to interviews and docu-
ments filed with the Federal Elec-
tion Commission through Satur-
day night. And some Republicans
believe he is effectively out of time
to invest in the kind of large-scale
infrastructure that the Demo-
cratic nominee, Hillary Clinton,
will bring to the polls in Novem-
ber.
Mr. Trump spends little on
polling and made his first adver-
tising purchase of the general
election campaign only last week.
His rapidly growing digital fund-
raising and voter-targeting opera-
tion is a partnership with the Re-
publican National Committee, re-
lying significantly on lists built
and maintained in recent years by
the party.
In July, when Mrs. Clinton spent

In Turkey, Child Turns Wedding Into Blood Bath An English Village Leads a Climate Revolution

ISTANBUL The wedding on
Saturday night was winding
down, and some guests had al-

playing and people were still
dancing in the narrow streets of
Gaziantep, a city not far from the
Syrian border.
Just then a child no more
than 14 years old, Turkeys presi-

the gathering and detonated a
vest of explosives.
Suddenly, the most joyous of oc-
casions became a scene of blood
and gore, with body parts scat-
tered all around. Once again, the
horrors of Syrias civil war had
visited Turkey.
The devastating bombing of the
Kurdish wedding in Gaziantep

ASHTON HAYES, England
This small village of about 1,000
people looks like any other nestled
in the countryside.
But Ashton Hayes is different in
an important way when it comes
to one of the worlds most pressing
issues: climate change. Hundreds
of residents have banded together
to cut greenhouse emissions
they use clotheslines instead of
dryers, take fewer flights, install
solar panels and glaze windows to
better insulate their homes.
The effort, reaching its 10th an-
niversary this year, has led to a 24
percent cut in emissions, accord-
ing to surveys by a professor of
environmental sustainability who
lives here.
But what makes Ashton Hayes
unusual is its approach the
residents have done it them-
selves, without prodding from
government. About 200 towns, cit-
ies and counties around the world
Wine and Cheese, but
No Politicians, for
Sake of Change
including Notteroy, Norway;
Upper Saddle River, N.J.; and
Changhua County, Taiwan have
reached out to learn how the vil-
lagers here did it.
As climate science has become
more accepted, and the effects of a
warming planet are becoming in-
creasingly clear, Ashton Hayes is
a case study for the next phase of
battling climate change: getting
people to change their habits.
We just think everyone should
try to clean up their patch, said
Rosemary Dossett, a resident of
the village. And rather than going
out and shouting about it, we just
do it.
One of their secrets, it seems, is
that the people of Ashton Hayes
feel in charge, rather than follow-
ing government policies. When
the member of Parliament who
represents the village showed up
at their first public meeting in Jan-
uary 2006, he was told he could
not make any speeches.
We said, This is not about you
tonight, this is about us, and you
can listen to what weve got to say
for a change, said Kate Harrison,
a resident and early member of
the group.
No politician has been allowed
to address the group since. The
village has kept the effort sepa-
rate from party politics, which
residents thought would only di-
vide them along ideological lines.
The project was started by
Garry Charnock, a former jour-
nalist who trained as a hydrologist
and has lived in the village for
about 30 years. He got the idea a
little more than a decade ago after
attending a lecture about climate

vention of the 50 states, sum-
moned to consider amending the
Constitution.
The groups are an amalgam of
free-market, low-tax and small-
government proponents, often
funded by corporations and
deeply conservative supporters
like the billionaire Koch brothers
and Donors Trust, whose contrib-
utors are mostly anonymous.
They want an amendment to re-
quire a balanced federal budget,
an idea many conservatives have
embraced, many economists dis-
dain and Congress has failed to
endorse for decades.
But as the groups near their
goal, critics and some skeptical
constitutional scholars are warn-
ing that holding an amendment-
writing meeting with no historical
parallel and no written rules could
open a Pandoras box of constitu-
tional mischief.
The process, which is playing
out largely beyond public notice,
rests on a clause in Article 5 of the
Constitution that allows the states
to sidestep Congress and draft
their own constitutional amend-
ments whenever two-thirds of
their legislatures demand it.
That will by no means be easy.
Even if the two-thirds threshold
were reached, a convention would
probably face a court battle over
whether the legislatures calls for
a convention were sufficiently
similar. And as with any amend-
ment that Congress proposes,
state-written amendments would
need approval by three-quarters
of the states either by their leg- others never receive recognition
islatures or by state conventions
to take effect.
But as Republicans have surged

presidential nominees in provid-
ing up-to-date details about their
personal health a particularly
striking departure, experts say,
given the candidates age.
No American election has ever
featured two major-party no-
minees as old as Mr. Trump, 70,
and Mrs. Clinton, 68, and they
have kept a grueling pace for
more than a year. Yet they have
declined to share the latest infor-
mation about their health or to
make their doctors available for
interviews. Each released a brief
medical statement in 2015; neither
has added to it since.
Mr. Trump has been especially
unforthcoming, even as he has
sought to turn health into an issue
in the presidential race, question-
ing Mrs. Clintons physical and
mental strength and stamina as
his allies push unfounded rumors
that she is ill.
Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for
Mr. Trump, said Monday that he
would have no problem releasing
additional records about his
health if Mrs. Clinton did the
same. Advisers to Mrs. Clinton,
who has released more details
than Mr. Trump, said the onus was
on him to match her disclosures.
Republicans from Ronald Rea-
gan to Mitt Romney have released
details in the months before Elec-
tion Day or directed their doctors
to field questions. John McCain al-
lowed some reporters to review
more than 1,100 pages of his medi-
cal records.
Among Democratic nominees,
Al Gore and John Kerry spoke
openly about their health; Mr.
Kerry had survived prostate can-

At Cuomos Upstate Film Hub,
Some Drama but Little Action
By JESSE McKINLEY
DEWITT, N.Y. Of all the pro-
nouncements that Gov. Andrew
M. Cuomo has made about creat-
ing jobs in upstate New York, per-
haps the most fanciful came in the
states decision to spend $15 mil-
lion to build a high-tech film studio
in Onondaga County.
The studio called the Central
New York Hub for Emerging
Nano Industries would create
at least 350 high-tech jobs, and
would, according to Mr. Cuomo,
effectively bring Hollywood to
central New York.
Who would have ever fig-
ured? the governor mused at the
announcement ceremony in 2014.
Almost nobody, apparently.
Most of the governors optimistic
predictions have not yet come to
pass. While construction of the
film hub was completed last sum-
mer, the building sits essentially
vacant, and the hub has exactly

SHADOW CLINTON
Dispute That Threatens
to Follow Campaign
Into the Fall
By MARK LANDLER
and STEVEN LEE MYERS
WASHINGTON The dispute
over Hillary Clintons email prac-
tices now threatens to shadow her
for the rest of the presidential
campaign after the disclosure on
Monday that the F.B.I. collected
nearly 15,000 new emails in its in-
vestigation of her and a federal
judges order that the State De-
partment accelerate the docu-
ments release.
As a result, thousands of emails
that Mrs. Clinton did not volun-
tarily turn over to the State De-
partment last year could be re-
leased just weeks before the elec-
tion in November. The order, by
Judge James E. Boasberg of Fed-
eral District Court, came the same
day a conservative watchdog
group separately released hun-
dreds of emails from one of Mrs.
Clintons closest aides, Huma
Abedin, which put a new focus on
the sometimes awkward ties be-
tween the Clinton Foundation and
the State Department.
The F.B.I. discovered the
roughly 14,900 emails by scouring
Mrs. Clintons server and the com-
puter archives of government offi-
cials with whom she corre-
sponded. In late July, it turned
them over to the State Depart-
ment, which now must set a time-
table for their release, according
to Judge Boasbergs order.
While the emails were not in the
original trove of 55,000 pages that
Mrs. Clintons lawyers handed to
the State Department last year,

time, including a little-known
cinematographer, Huayu Xu, re-
cently hired to manage and pro-
mote the project.
No films made it to the multi-
plex: Nearly two and a half years
after the governors announce-
ment, the hubs anchor tenant,
FilmHouse, has yet to release a
production, and its president and
other executives have been
dogged by lawsuits, tax liens and
seven-figure legal judgments.
The states investment in the
Central New York Hub, in many
ways, embodies the Cuomo ad-
ministrations pledge to revive the
economy outside the New York
City area, often by offering tax
breaks and capital investments to
lure or maintain businesses.
Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, has
strongly defended these efforts.
And in the case of the film hub, the
governors office praised its early

Scans of Brains GRAD STUDENTS

Show an Array
Of Zika Effects
Some Damage May Not
Be Obvious at Birth
By PAM BELLUCK
The images tell a heartbreaking
story: Zikas calamitous attack on
the brains of babies as seen
from the inside.
A study of brain scans and ultra-
sound pictures of 45 Brazilian ba-
bies whose mothers were infected
with Zika in pregnancy shows that
the virus can inflict serious dam-
age to many different parts of the
fetal brain beyond microcephaly,
the condition of unusually small
heads that has become the sinis-
ter signature of Zika.
The images, published Tuesday
in the journal Radiology, also sug-
gest a grim possibility: Because
some of the damage was seen in
brain areas that continue to de-
velop after birth, it may be that ba-
bies born without obvious impair-
ment will experience problems as
they grow.
It really brings to the forefront
the importance of truly under-
standing the impact of Zika virus
and the fact that we need to follow
children who not only are exposed
to Zika in pregnancy, but even
those who dont appear to have
any complications at birth, said

WASHINGTON Over 14
years in American custody, Abu
Zubaydah has come to symbolize,
perhaps more than any other
prisoner, how fear of terrorism af-
ter the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks
changed the United States.
He was the first detainee to be
waterboarded, and his brutal tor-
ture was documented in a Senate
report. He is among those held
without charges and with no likeli-
hood of a trial. The government
admitted long ago that he was
never the top leader of Al Qaeda it
claimed he was at the time of his
capture in 2002, but it insists that
he may still be dangerous.
In all that time, Mr. Zubaydah,
now 45, was never seen by the out-
side world. That changed on Tues-
day, as his calm face was beamed
via video feed from the Guant-
namo Bay military prison to a
Pentagon conference room.
In a long-postponed hearing, he

ARE GIVEN RIGHT
TO FORM UNIONS
A LABOR BOARD RULING
Case at Columbia
Educated Workers
Feel Pinch, Too
By NOAM SCHEIBER
Punctuating a string of Obama-
era moves to shore up labor rights
and expand protections for work-
ers, the National Labor Relations
Board ruled Tuesday that stu-
dents who work as teaching and
research assistants at private uni-
versities have a federally backed
right to unionize.
The case arose from a petition
filed by a group of graduate stu-
dents at Columbia University, who
are seeking to win recognition for
a union that will allow them a say
over such issues as the quality of
their health insurance and the
timeliness of stipend payments.
Echoing longstanding com-
plaints from blue-collar workers
that they have become replace-
able cogs in a globalized economic
machine, the effort reflects a
growing view among more highly
educated employees in recent
decades that they, too, are at the
mercy of faceless organizations
and are not being treated like pro-
fessionals and aspiring profes-
sionals whose opinions are wor-
thy of respect.
What were fundamentally
concerned about isnt really
money, said Paul R. Katz, one of
the Columbia graduate students
involved in the organizing efforts.
Its a question of power and de-
mocracy in a space in the acad-
emy thats increasingly corpora-
tized, hierarchical. Thats what
were most concerned about.
Columbia and other universi-
ties that weighed in with the board
before the ruling argued that col-
lective bargaining would lead to a
more adversarial relationship be-
tween students and the university
that would undermine its educa-
tional purpose.
The decision reverses a 2004
ruling by the board involving
graduate student assistants at
Brown University. The ruling held
that the assistants could not be
considered employees because
they are primarily students and
have a primarily educational, not
economic, relationship with their
university.
The current board disagreed,
arguing that Columbia students
could be deemed employees if
they perform and are compen-
sated for work that the university
oversees, even if their relation-
ship was substantially broader.

ISTANBUL President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey is nor-

his base of religious conservatives
and loathed by the rest of society.
But there he was recently, sipping
tea and making easy chitchat with
his political rivals, just before join-
ing them in a rally this month on
Istanbuls waterfront to celebrate
the failure of an attempted mili-

An odd thing has happened in
Turkey. Usually deeply polarized,
the two sides are largely united in
their opposition to military coups
and the movement of Fethullah

in self-exile in Pennsylvania and
has been accused by Turkey of or-

at the rally, a sea of red-and-white

Egyptians Take to the Streets Again, This Time in Workout Gear
By ROD NORDLAND
CAIRO Egypts young people
have once again taken to the
streets. This time, though, they
are in spandex and on bicycles, in
kayaks and sculls on the Nile, do-
ing street workouts in the slums of
Giza or CrossFit exercises in
makeshift rooftop gyms.
More than five years after over-
whelming numbers filled Tahrir
Square in Cairo, deposing Presi-
dent Hosni Mubarak, and three
years since the military crack-
down that ousted the elected Mus-
lim Brotherhood president and
jailed protesters by the thou-
sands, a fitness craze has taken
hold. It is a stark departure for a
nation that is the 17th most obese
in the world, where fast-food
joints proliferate and smoking is
still the norm in restaurants
and everywhere else.
Egyptian squash players are
among the best in the world, and
privileged families have long
pushed their children to take up
sports, but the new focus on fit-
ness is drawing in people from all
classes, with substantial numbers
of women, too, and is more about
exercise for exercise than about
games or competition. Many
Egyptians see it as a direct out-
growth of the withering of the po-
litical revolution under President
Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
Why now, and where does this
come from? Clearly, its connected
with the withdrawal from public
life by young people, said Ezze-
dine C. Fishere, a political science
professor at the American Univer-
sity in Cairo who has seen the
trend take hold in his family. Pro-
fessor Fishere said he goes to the

Trumps Goal:
Stay on Script
About Clinton
Expressing Doubts as
He Tries a New Tone
By PATRICK HEALY
and ALEXANDER BURNS
After months of flailing at-
tempts, Donald J. Trump has be-
gun to recast his political message
in more structured terms and
wrestle with his temptation to go
off script, as his campaign seeks to
revive his fading candidacy and
turn the focus this fall to Hillary
Clintons honesty and integrity.
Working off a script from his
reshuffled team of advisers, Mr.
Trump is also drastically tem-
pering his language about the sig-
nature issue of his campaign: im-
migration. After winning the Re-
publican nomination on a promise
to deport all 11 million immigrants
who are in the United States ille-
gally, he indicated on Wednesday
night that he was considering al-
lowing some to stay if they had
lived in the United States for
many years, lacked criminal
records and paid back taxes.
We are going to come out with
a decision very soon, he said on
Fox News, signaling flexibility on
an issue that sharply divides un-
decided voters. He is expected to
deliver a speech on immigration
next week in Phoenix.
Mr. Trump is also spending far
less time attacking his fellow Re-
publicans and picking fights with
people other than Mrs. Clinton, in-
stead hammering away at her
State Department tenure and her
familys charitable foundation.
And he is aligning his stump
speeches with his television ad-

TURKEY ASSISTS

ADVANCE ON ISIS
STRONGHOLD IS SEIZED
An Escalation as Turkish
Forces Move Across
the Border
This article is by Tim Arango,
Anne Barnard and Ceylan Yeginsu.
ISTANBUL Turkey sent
tanks, warplanes and special op-
erations forces into northern Syr-
ia on Wednesday in its biggest
plunge yet into the Syrian conflict,
enabling Syrian rebels to take
control of an important Islamic
State stronghold within hours.
The operation, assisted by
American airstrikes, is a signifi-
cant escalation of Turkeys role in
the fight against the Islamic State,
the militant extremist group en-
sconced in parts of Syria and Iraq
that has increasingly been target-
ing Turkey.
By evening, Syrian rebels
backed by the United States and
Turkey declared that they had
seized the town of Jarabulus and
its surroundings, which had been
the Islamic States last major re-
doubt near the Turkish border.
Numerous fighters posted photo-
graphs and videos of themselves
online with the green, black and
white flag adopted by the Syrian
opposition as they walked
through empty streets where the
black flag of Islamic State still
flew; it appeared that most of the
militants had fled without a fight.
The offensive had two immedi-
ate goals: To clear Islamic State
militants from their remaining
border stronghold, and roll back
recent advances by Syrian Kurd-
ish militias that Turkey considers
an equal or greater threat because
of their links to its own domestic
Kurdish insurgents.
Yet it had deeper reverbera-
tions, signaling a broad and vola-
tile reshuffling of alliances in and
around Syria that has been brew-
ing over recent months.

PARENTAL REVOLT
ON A DRUG PRICE
Uproar Over an Allergy
Medicine Goes Viral
By TARA PARKER-POPE
After Mellini Kantayya, an ac-
tress who lives in Brooklyn, chat-
ted with her Facebook friends in
July about the high cost of
EpiPens, she knew she had to do
something.
A friend in Connecticut, the
mother of a child with food al-
lergies, was facing a $600 bill for
the product, an injector that deliv-
ers a lifesaving dose of
epinephrine to reverse severe al-
lergic reactions. Ms. Kantayya
had also just seen an article from
the health website STAT, about
ambulance crews that could not
afford EpiPens because the price
had surged by more than 500 per-
cent in recent years.
It just felt nefarious, said Ms.
Kantayya, whose health insur-
ance covers the cost of EpiPens
for her husband, who has an al-
lergic condition. Just because
were not paying for it, were still
paying for it in terms of social
cost, she said. Then she thought,
Why dont I do a petition, and
maybe something will be done
about this?
She went online to Peti-
tion2Congress.com, a service that
collects signatures and then sends
them to designated lawmakers,
and created the petition Stop the
EpiPen Price Gouging, which
went live on July 11.

Worry Over Key Races
in Bid to Win Senate SOFTENING ON HIS VOW
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
WASHINGTON Senate
Democrats, aware of the dead
weight that Donald J. Trump has
placed on their vulnerable Repub-
lican colleagues, can taste a re-
claimed majority.
But just as Senate Republicans
blew their chances in 2010 and
2012 before finally taking control
in 2014, Democrats find them-
selves hobbled by less-than-stel-
lar candidates in races that could
make the difference in winning a
majority.
In Pennsylvania, Katie McGin-
ty, a relatively unknown former
federal official who has never held
elective office, is ahead in polls but
lags Hillary Clintons large lead in
the state. In Florida, a nasty pri-
mary between two flawed candi-
dates could harm the Democrats
chance to unseat Senator Marco
Rubio.
Several high-profile Democrats
turned down the chance to chal-
lenge Senator Richard Burr of
North Carolina before they settled
on a civil liberties lawyer, Debo-
rah Ross, who is not necessarily a
good fit for suburban voters there.
Catherine Cortez Masto, a Demo-
crat and former state attorney
general now running for an open
seat in Nevada, has also failed to
catch fire.
To challenge 82-year-old Sena-
tor Charles E. Grassley of Iowa,
Democrats settled on 72-year-old
Patty Judge. Senator Rob Port-
mans Democratic challenger in
Ohio, former Gov. Ted Strickland,

mans taunting nickname, Re-

ON DEPORTATIONS
Suggestions of a New
Approach Close to
That of Obama
By MAGGIE HABERMAN
and MICHAEL D. SHEAR
For 15 months, even as Donald
J. Trump vacillated on many other
issues, he stuck to a simple, hard-
line position on immigration: If
elected president, he would form a
deportation force, round up peo-
ple who are in the United States il-
legally and send them back where
they came from.
Yet even that promise, so cen-
tral to his appeal to conservatives,
now appears open to negotiation.
Mr. Trump faced anger, confu-
sion and disgust from across the
political spectrum on Thursday
after indicating that he was open
to letting some undocumented im-
migrants remain in the country le-
gally provided that they paid
back taxes.
The comments, made at a town-
hall-style event broadcast the
night before on Fox News, were
strikingly similar to the views of
former Gov. Jeb Bush and Senator
Marco Rubio of Florida, fellow Re-
publicans whom Mr. Trump van-
quished in the primaries with
slashing attacks that they were
soft on immigration.
His newest formulation also
bore a close resemblance to Presi-
dent Obamas approach to an im-
migration overhaul, which simi-
larly calls for paying taxes as part
of a program to live legally in the
United States.
For Mr. Trump, the new, more
tempered talk on immigration
could help convince some on-the-
fence voters, particularly whites,
that he has more compassion for
Hispanics and other minorities
than his harsher earlier positions
would suggest.
He finally figured out that you

the blind. One drove a car packed
with explosives into the American
Universitys wall, blowing a gap
through it. Two more militants
dashed onto campus, where hun-
dreds of students were taking
evening classes. The attackers
methodically stalked the men and
women trapped inside, fighting off
the Afghan security forces for
nearly 10 hours in a terrifying
overnight siege.
On Thursday morning, at least
13 lay dead: seven students, three
police officers, two university
guards and the night guard at the
neighboring school for the blind.
Abdul Baseer Mujahid, a spokes-
man for the Kabul police, said that
more than 30 others were hurt in
the attack; another estimate, from
the Health Ministry, said 16 had
been killed and 53 wounded.
The attack was unmistakably a
blow to young Afghans who had
chosen to defy the migrant exodus
away from the countrys war and
instead pursue their dreams in the

The anodyne welcome letter to

Academic research on civil

as long as Syrias so far. But
there are a handful of factors
that can make them longer, more
violent and harder to stop.
Virtually all are present in Syria.
Many stem from foreign inter-

end the war but have instead
entrenched it in a stalemate in
which violence is self-reinforcing

In the late 1990s, General Mo-

supplier, Takata, had designed a
much cheaper automotive airbag.
G.M. turned to its airbag suppli-
er the Swedish-American com-
pany Autoliv and asked it to
match the design or risk losing the
automakers business, according
to Linda Rink, who was a senior
scientist at Autoliv assigned to the
G.M. account at the time.
But when Autolivs scientists
studied the Takata airbag, they
found that it relied on a danger-
ously volatile compound in its in-
flater, a critical part that causes
the airbag to expand.
We just said, No, we cant do it.

G.O.P. Worries ONCE AN OUTLIER,
Clout Is Fading BREITBART RISES
In Western U.S.
Fears Rise on Trumps
Effect on Minorities RALLYING FRINGE RIGHT
By JEREMY W. PETERS
PHOENIX Republicans in
Western states fear that Donald J.
Trump could imperil their party
for years to come in the countrys
fastest-growing region as he re-
pels a generation of Hispanics,
Asians and younger voters who
have been altering the electoral
map.
Mr. Trump, with his insult-
laden, culturally insensitive style
of campaigning, is providing fuel
for the demographic trends that
are already reshaping the political
composition of this once-heavily
Republican territory. And now
many Republicans are contem-
plating the possibility that states
like Colorado or Nevada could
soon become the next California:
once competitive but now unwin-
nable in presidential contests.
In few places are the partys
woes over their nominee more im-
mediate than here in Arizona, a
state that has voted for the
Democratic presidential candi-
date only once in the last 68 years.
Recent polls show Hillary Clin-
ton is close to tying Mr. Trump
here. And her campaign has re-
sponded by teaming up with local
Democrats on a statewide get-out-
the-vote operation, which has
grown to 160 staff members across
20 offices.
While flipping Arizona has been
a Democratic fantasy for years
and one that Clinton supporters
acknowledge remains quite diffi-
cult their efforts to register and
recruit voters are part of a longer-
term plan to capitalize on the Re-
publican Partys vulnerabilities
with younger and minority voters.
Nonwhites are growing as a
share of the electorate faster in
the West than they are elsewhere.
For the first time, minorities in

the full-body swimwear used by
some Muslim women, setting a
precedent that challenges similar
bans in at least 30 other mu-

The burkini and the decisions
to ban wearing them on beaches
has become the focus of spirited
global debates over womens

In its ruling, the court, known as

ban in the town of Villeneuve-Lou-

ing freedom of movement and reli-
gious freedom, and that officials
had failed to show that the
swimwear posed a threat to public
order.
The ruling also made clear that
the bans in other municipalities
could be similarly overturned,
and the Socialist government
seemed conflicted on how to re-

TO POTENT VOICE
News Website Annexes
G.O.P. Establishment
It Once Tweaked
By MICHAEL M. GRYNBAUM
and JOHN HERRMAN
Breitbart News has arrived.
The opinion and news site, once
a curiosity of the fringe right wing,
is now an increasingly powerful
voice, and virtual rallying spot, for
millions of disaffected conserva-
tives who propelled Donald J.
Trump to the Republican nomina-
tion for president.
Known for gleefully bashing the
old Republican
establishment,
Breitbart now
finds itself at the
center of the
partys presi-
dential cam-
paign. Its long-
time chairman,
Stephen K. Ban-
non, was named
Trump
campaign chief
by Mr. Trump, whose nationalist,
conspiracy-minded message rou-
tinely mirrors the Breitbart
worldview.
On Facebook, it rivals news or-
ganizations like The Washington
Post and Yahoo, and it has chal-
lenged conservative favorites like
Fox News in its influence on the
campaign, if not in size of audi-
ence.
On Thursday, the site received
its biggest billing yet in the
form of a scathing condemnation.
In a nationally televised speech,
Hillary Clinton identified Breit-
bart as the Democratic Partys
media enemy No. 1, warning about
a de facto merger between the
Trump campaign and a news out-
let that she described as racist,
radical and offensive.
For Mrs. Clinton, it was a stra-
tegic attack that linked Mr. Trump
to leading avatars of the hard-line
right. But among Breitbarts ideo-
Continued on Page A10
cal officials to back down, saying it
was now up to each and every
one to responsibly seek to ease
tensions, which is the only way to
avoid disturbances to public order
and to bolster coexistence.
But later on Friday, Prime Min-
ister Manuel Valls said in a state-
ment on Facebook that the ruling
doesnt exhaust the debate that
has opened up in our society on
the question of the burkini.
Mr. Valls, who last week likened
the burkini to a form of enslave-
ment, said in his comments on
Friday that condemning the
burkini in no way questions indi-
vidual liberties.
The courts decision seemed un-
likely to end the controversy as
France enters a presidential elec-
tion season. The center-right for-
mer president, Nicolas Sarkozy,
who has announced his plans to
run for president again, supports
a national ban.
While the decision does not ap-
ply directly to the many other
French cities and towns that have
banned the burkini, it amounts to
a warning that their prohibitions

An Airman Left for Dead,

But Signs He Fought On
Medal of Honor Recommended After Video
Analysis of 2002 Retreat by SEALs
By SEAN D. NAYLOR and CHRISTOPHER DREW
Britt Slabinski could hear the
bullets ricochet off the rocks in the
darkness. It was the first firefight
for his six-man reconnaissance
unit from SEAL Team 6, and it was
outnumbered, outgunned and
taking casualties on an Afghan
mountaintop.
A half-dozen feet or so to his
right, John Chapman, an Air
Force technical sergeant acting as
the units radioman, lay wounded
in the snow. Mr. Slabinski, a senior
chief petty officer, could see
through his night-vision goggles
an aiming laser from Sergeant
Chapmans rifle rising and falling
with his breathing, a sign he was
alive.
Then another of the Americans
was struck in a furious exchange
of grenades and machine-gun fire,
and the chief realized that his
team had to get off the peak imme-
diately.
He looked back over at
cover, one asked: Wheres John?
Wheres Chappy? Chief Slabinski
responded, Hes dead.
Now, more than 14 years after
that brutal fight, in which seven
Americans ultimately died, the
Air Force says that Chief Slabinski
was wrong and that Sergeant
Chapman not only was alive, but
also fought on alone for more than
an hour after the SEALs had re-
treated. The Air Force secretary is
pushing for a Medal of Honor, the
militarys highest award, after
new technology used in an exami-
nation of videos from aircraft fly-
ing overhead helped officials con-
clude that the sergeant had killed
two fighters with Al Qaeda one
in hand-to-hand combat before
dying in an attempt to protect ar-
riving reinforcements.
The new account of Sergeant
Chapmans last act reopens old
wounds for SEAL Team 6, the elite
Navy unit that would later kill BARTON SILVERMAN/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Sergeant Chapman. The laser was
no longer moving, Chief Slabinski
recalls, though he was not close
enough to check the airmans
pulse. Chased by bullets that hit a
second SEAL in the leg, the chief
said, he crawled on top of the
sergeant but could not detect any
response, so he slid down the
mountain face with the other men.

No One Is Safe: Zimbabwe At La Guardia, Check-In Line Starts at Highway

Threatens to Take Foes Farms
By NORIMITSU ONISHI
BINDURA, Zimbabwe Doz-
ens of angry young men jumped
off a truck in front of Agrippah
Mutambaras gate, shouting ob-
scenities and threatening to seize
his 530-acre farm in the name of
Zimbabwes president. They tried
to scale the fence, scattering only
when he raised and cocked his
gun.
Zimbabwe made international
headlines when it started seizing
white-owned farms in 2000. But
Mr. Mutambara is not a white
farmer. Far from it, he is a hero of
this countrys war of liberation
who served as Zimbabwes am-
bassador to three nations over
two decades.
But when he defected from
President Robert Mugabes party
to join the opposition a few
months ago, he immediately put
his farm at risk.
When it was happening to the
whites, we thought we were re-
dressing colonial wrongs, said
Mr. Mutambara, 64, who got his
farm after it had been seized from
a white farmer. But now we real-
ize its also coming back to us. Its
also haunting us.
Zimbabwe is suffering one of its
worst economic crises in years.
Banks have run out of cash. The
government is struggling to pay
its workers. Public protests, in-
cluding one in July that shut down
the capital and a united show of
force by the nations biggest oppo-
sition figures on Friday, have rat-
tled Mr. Mugabes government.
Desperately seeking loans,
Zimbabwean officials have visited
Washington and European capi-
tals in recent months, swallowing
years of resentment toward the
West to promise economic and po-
litical reforms, including ending
the tortured pattern of farm
seizures. Even Mr. Mugabe, now
92 years old and increasingly frail,
has pledged to compensate white
farmers.
But despite the promises,
prized farms are at the center of
heated political infighting in Zim-
babwe. As the battle to succeed
Mr. Mugabe intensifies, dozens of

Fear and Doubt in Europe and U.S.
By NEIL MacFARQUHAR
STOCKHOLM With a vig-
orous national debate underway
on whether Sweden should enter a
military partnership with NATO,
officials in Stockholm suddenly
encountered an unsettling prob-
lem: a flood of distorted and out-
right false information on social
media, confusing public percep-
tions of the issue.
The claims were alarming: If
Sweden, a non-NATO member,
signed the deal, the alliance would
stockpile secret nuclear weapons
on Swedish soil; NATO could at-
tack Russia from Sweden without
government approval; NATO sol-
diers, immune from prosecution,
could rape Swedish women with-
out fear of criminal charges.
They were all false, but the dis-
information had begun spilling
into the traditional news media,
and as the defense minister, Peter
Hultqvist, traveled the country to
promote the pact in speeches and
town hall meetings, he was re-
peatedly grilled about the bogus
stories.

they got scared, asking what can

As often happens in such cases,
Swedish officials were never able
to pin down the source of the false
reports. But they, numerous ana-

Russia as the prime suspect, not-

to openly confront NATO, the Eu-

NEW YORK, TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 2016
By ANDREW POLLACK
In its latest move to quell out-
rage over its price increases, the
maker of the EpiPen has resorted
to an unusual tactic introducing
a generic version of its own prod-
uct.
The company, Mylan, said on
Monday that the generic EpiPen
would be identical to the existing
product, which is used to treat se-
vere allergic reactions. But it will
have a wholesale list price of $300
for a pack of two, half the price of
the brand-name EpiPen.
The raging debate over EpiPen
pricing has offered a surprisingly
wide window into the complicated
world of prescription drug pric-
ing, in which powerful drug com-
panies, pharmacy benefit manag-
ers, insurers and federal health
programs all play major roles.
However, the system remains
opaque.
Last week, the company an-
nounced steps to increase the fi-
nancial assistance for the branded
EpiPen, for both commercially in-
sured and uninsured patients.
Those measures, however, did not
stem the public furor, in part be-
cause the company kept the list
price the same. So now, the com-

pany will essentially sell the same
product under two names at two
price points, in competition with
each other.
The new move did not mollify
critics, either. Some noted that
even at $300, the generic would
still be triple the price of the
EpiPen in 2007, when Mylan ac-
quired the product and began
steadily raising its price. The in-
creases have accelerated in re-
cent years. Even the generic, ex-
pected to be available in several
weeks, should provide a nice prof-
it to Mylan because its manufac-
turing costs are believed to be far
less than $300.
Several consumer advocacy
groups, unhappy with Mylans

Cast Shadow RESEARCH IN BID

Wife, Top Clinton Aide,
Decides to Separate PLAN FOR FIRST DEBATE
By AMY CHOZICK
and PATRICK HEALY
It was supposed to be a quiet,
late-summer weekend on the ex-
clusive shores of the Hamptons.
But on Sunday, Huma Abedin, the
closest aide to Hillary Clinton, re-
ceived devastating news.
After accompanying Mrs. Clin-
ton to fund-raisers, Ms. Abedin
learned from her husband, Antho-
ny D. Weiner, that The New York
Post was about to report that he
had again exchanged lewd mes-
sages with a woman on social me-
dia: the sort of behavior that de-
stroyed his congressional career
and 2013 mayoral campaign.
Only this time, the online indis-
cretions included an image of Mr.
Weiners crotch as he lay next to
the couples 4-year-old son.
Now, Mr. Weiners tawdry activ-
ities may have claimed his mar-
riage Ms. Abedin told him that
she wanted to separate and
have cast another shadow on the
adviser and confidante who has
been by Mrs.
Clintons side for
the past two dec-
ades. Ms. Abe-
din was already
a major figure
this summer in
controversies
over Mrs. Clin- Huma
tons handling of Abedin
classified infor-
mation as secretary of state and
over ties between the Clinton fam-
ily foundation and Mrs. Clintons
State Department.
Mr. Weiners extramarital be-
havior also threatens to remind
voters about the troubles in the
Clintons own marriage over the
decades, including Mrs. Clintons
much-debated decision to remain
with then-President Bill Clinton
after revelations of his relation-
ship with Monica Lewinsky. Ms.
Abedins choice to separate from
her husband evokes the debates
that erupted over Mrs. Clintons
handling of the Lewinsky affair, a
scandal her campaign wants left
in the past.
Clinton advisers expressed on-
ly sympathy for Ms. Abedin on
Monday and said they were confi-
dent Mr. Weiners actions would
not hurt Mrs. Clinton, who learned
about them from Ms. Abedin and
offered support. But Mr. Weiners
behavior quickly became fodder
for Donald J. Trump, Mrs. Clin-

presidential race.

TO NEEDLE TRUMP
G.O.P. Nominee Avoids
a Scripted Tone by
Practicing Little
By PATRICK HEALY
and MATT FLEGENHEIMER
Hillary Clintons advisers are
talking to Donald J. Trumps
ghostwriter of The Art of the
Deal, seeking insights about Mr.
Trumps deepest insecurities as
they devise strategies to needle
and undermine him in four weeks
at the first presidential debate, the
most anticipated in a generation.
Her team is also getting advice
from psychology experts to help
create a personality profile of Mr.
Trump to gauge how he may re-
spond to attacks and deal with a
woman as his sole adversary on
the debate stage.
They are undertaking a foren-
sic-style analysis of Mr. Trumps
performances in the Republican
primary debates, cataloging
strengths and weaknesses as well
as trigger points that caused him
to lash out in less-than-presiden-
tial ways.
As Mrs. Clinton pores over this
voluminous research with her de-
bate team, most recently for sev-
eral hours on Friday, and her aides
continue searching for someone
who can rattle her as a Trump
stand-in during mock debates, Mr.
Trump is taking the opposite tack.
Though he spent hours with his
debate team the last two Sundays,
the sessions were more free-
wheeling than focused, and he can
barely conceal his disdain for la-
borious and theatrical practice
sessions.
I believe you can prep too
much for those things, Mr. Trump
said in an interview last week. It
can be dangerous. You can sound
scripted or phony like youre
trying to be someone youre not.
Rarely are debate preparations
as illuminating about the candi-
dates as a debate itself, but Mrs.
Clintons and Mr. Trumps strik-
ingly different approaches to the
Sept. 26 face-off are more reveal-
ing about their egos and battle-
field instincts than most other mo-
ments in the campaign.
Mrs. Clinton, a deeply competi-
tive debater, wants to crush Mr.
Trump on live television, but not
with an avalanche of policy de-

Trump to Visit 2001 2015

Mexico to Meet
With President
Hours Later, Hell Give
Immigration Speech
By NICK CORASANITI
and AZAM AHMED
Donald J. Trump will visit Mex-
ico on Wednesday for a private
meeting with President Enrique
Pea Nieto a trip that will take
him to a nation he has repeatedly
scorned before quickly flying
back for what is billed as a major
immigration speech in Arizona.
Mr. Pea Nietos office said
Tuesday night that the meeting
would take place at the presiden-
tial palace in Mexico City, and Mr.
Trump, on Twitter, said he looked
very much forward to the visit.
The Mexican presidents office
said Mr. Pea Nieto had sent invi-
tations last week to both Mr.
Trump and Hillary Clinton. The
negotiations for both trips were
first reported by The Washington
Post. Mrs. Clintons campaign
would not comment Tuesday on
whether she had received the invi-
tation.
Mr. Pea Nieto is reaching out
to Mr. Trump in the face of the Re-
publican candidates antagonistic
attitude toward Mexico in his poli-
cies and campaign rallies. He has
said many Mexican immigrants
who enter the United States ille-
gally are rapists, and he has re-
peatedly insisted that Mexico will
pay for his proposed wall along
the southern United States border.
He is widely reviled in Mexico,
where the wall proposal has re-
vived deep grievances over
sovereignty and respect that have
historically dogged Mexicos rela-
tionship with the United States.
They are not our friend, be-
lieve me, Mr. Trump said in a
speech last year in which he ac-
cused Mexico of treating the

Israel Legalizes Outposts in the West Bank, Step by Quiet Step
By ISABEL KERSHNER
MITZPE DANNY, West Bank
One night in the fall of 1998, a
self-professed outpost entrepre-
neur brought three trailers to a
rugged hilltop in the Israeli-occu-
pied West Bank and established
his first pirate settlement.
Dozens of youthful supporters
came to cheer on the entrepre-
neur, Shimon Riklin, whose wife,
newborn and toddler joined him a
few days later. A second family
also moved in. To their initial sur-
prise, nobody from the military or
government came to remove
them. After six months, Mr. Rik-
lin said in a recent interview, I
understood it was a done deal.
They named their outpost
Mitzpe Danny, after a British im-
migrant stabbed to death by a Pal-
estinian at the settlement across
the highway, and went on over the
next few months to help establish
Mitzpe Hagit and then Neve Erez
a short drive away. I jumped from
hill to hill, Mr. Riklin said.
Today, more than 40 Orthodox
Jewish families live in Mitzpe

Deal for Apple How the Game Became One

On Irish Taxes
Is Ruled Illegal
By JAMES KANTER
and MARK SCOTT
The European Union on Tues-
day ordered Ireland to collect
$14.5 billion in unpaid taxes from
Apple, a record penalty that
worsened tensions with the
United States over the blocs
crackdown on sweetheart deals
with global multinationals.
Europes competition enforcer
said that Apples deals with the
Irish government, which it called
illegal, let the company pay
virtually nothing on its European
business in some years. The ar-
rangements enabled Apple to fun-
nel profit from two Irish subsidiar-
ies to a head office with no
employees, no premises, no real
activities, the commission said.
By doing so, Apple paid only 50
euros in taxes for every million eu-
ros in profit during 2014. As part of
its ruling, Europe demanded that
Ireland recoup 10 years worth of
back taxes, some 13 billion euros,
or about $14.5 billion, plus interest.
The amount is a drop in the
bucket for Apple, which has a total
cash pile of more than $230 billion.
Even so, the company described
the order as a devastating blow
to the rule of law. The United
States Treasury Department said

NEWS ANALYSIS
A Daring Plan to
Lift a Campaign
By ALEXANDER BURNS
and MAGGIE HABERMAN
Donald J. Trumps campaign
was teetering early last month,
with an increasingly isolated
candidate and a downcast staff
that seemed to lurch from crisis
to crisis. Having fired his cam-
paign chairman and retooled his
message, Mr. Trump was still far
behind Hillary Clinton in the
polls, and Republicans were
running away from him.
Under those desperate condi-
tions, Mr. Trumps closest allies
last month pressed him to ap-
prove a daring plan: Go to Mex-
ico and meet with President
Enrique Pea Nieto, presenting
himself to the world as a states-
man and earning a new look
from millions of American
voters.

Overtures to Mexico,
Then Tough Talk
By PATRICK HEALY
Donald J. Trump made an auda-
cious attempt on Wednesday to
remake his image on the divisive
issue of immigration, shelving his
plan to deport 11 million undocu-
mented people and arguing that a
Trump administration and Mex-
ico would secure the border to-
gether.
In a spirited bid for undecided
American voters to see him anew,
Mr. Trump swept into Mexico City
to make overtures to a nation he
has repeatedly denigrated, then
flew to Phoenix to outline his lat-
est priorities on immigration.
Yet the juxtaposition of Mr.
Trumps dual performances was
so jarring that his true vision and
intentions on immigration were
hard to discern. He displayed an
almost unrecognizable demeanor
during his afternoon in Mexico,
appearing measured and di-
plomatic, while hours later he took
the stage at his campaign rally
and denounced illegal immigrants

As Assange Reveals Secrets
By JO BECKER, STEVEN ERLANGER and ERIC SCHMITT
Julian Assange was in classic didactic
form, holding forth on the topic that con-
sumes him the perfidy of big govern-
ment and especially of the United States.
Mr. Assange, the editor of WikiLeaks,
rose to global fame in 2010 for releasing
huge caches of highly classified American
government communications that ex-
posed the underbelly of its wars in Af-
ghanistan and Iraq and its sometimes
cynical diplomatic maneuvering around
the world. But in a televised interview last
September, it was clear that he still had
plenty to say about The World According
to US Empire, the subtitle of his latest
book, The WikiLeaks Files.
From the cramped confines of the Ec-
uadorean Embassy in London, where he
was granted asylum four years ago amid a
legal imbroglio, Mr. Assange proffered a
vision of America as superbully: a nation
that has achieved imperial power by pro-
claiming allegiance to principles of human
rights while deploying its military-intelli-
gence apparatus in pincer formation to
push countries into doing its bidding,
and punishing people like him who dare to
speak the truth.
Notably absent from Mr. Assanges
analysis, however, was criticism of an-
other world power, Russia, or its presi-
dent, Vladimir V. Putin, who has hardly
lived up to WikiLeaks ideal of transparen-
cy. Mr. Putins government has cracked
down hard on dissent spying on, jailing,
and, critics charge, sometimes assassinat-
ing opponents while consolidating control
over the news media and internet. If Mr.
Assange appreciated the irony of the mo-
ment denouncing censorship in an in-
terview on Russia Today, the Kremlin-con-
trolled English-language propaganda
channel it was not readily apparent.
Now, Mr. Assange and WikiLeaks are
back in the spotlight, roiling the geopoliti-
cal landscape with new disclosures and a
promise of more to come.

Impeachment Vote Ousts President in a Brazil Engulfed by Scandal Court Costs Put Extra Burden
By SIMON ROMERO
BRASLIA The Senate on
Wednesday impeached Dilma
Rousseff, Brazils first female
president, and removed her from
office for the rest of her term, the
capstone of a power struggle that
has consumed the nation for
months and toppled one of the
hemispheres most powerful po-
litical parties.
The Senate voted 61 to 20 to con-
vict Ms. Rousseff on charges of
manipulating the federal budget
in an effort to conceal the nations
mounting economic problems.
But the final removal of Ms.
Rousseff, who was suspended in
May to face trial, was much more
than a judgment of guilt on any
charge. It was a verdict on her
leadership and the slipping for-
tunes of Latin Americas largest
country.

tone-deaf responses to the sour-
ing national mood opened Ms.
Rousseff to withering scorn, leav-
ing her with little support to fend
off a power grab by her political ri-
vals.
She lacked it all, said Mentor
Muniz Neto, a writer from So
Paulo who described Ms. Rouss-
effs final ouster as a death fore-
told, asserting that she lacked
charisma, competence and humil-
ity. We deserved better.
To her many critics, the im-
peachment was a fitting fall for an
arrogant leader at the helm of a
political movement that had lost
its way. But Ms. Rousseff and her
supporters call her ouster a coup
that undermines Brazils young
democracy.
Moreover, her impeachment
may not restore public confidence
in Brazils leaders, or diminish the
corruption that pervades the
countrys politics. To the contrary,
many Brazilians note, it transfers
power from one scandal-plagued
party to another.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. When
Dequan Jackson had his only
brush with the law, at 13, he tried to
do everything right.
Charged with battery for bang-
ing into a teacher while horsing
around in a hallway, he pleaded
guilty with the promise that after
one year of successful probation,
the conviction would be reduced
to a misdemeanor.
He worked 40 hours in a food
bank. He met with an anger man-
agement counselor. He kept to an
8 p.m. curfew except when return-
ing from football practice or
church.
And he kept out of trouble.
But Dequan and his mother,
who is struggling to raise two sons
here on wisps of income, were un-
able to meet one final condition:
payment of $200 in court and pub-
lic defender fees. For that reason
alone, his probation was extended
for what turned out to be 14 more
months, until they pulled together
the money at a time when they
had trouble finding quarters for
the laundromat.
Dequans experience is hardly
an isolated one. The ways that
fines and fees can entrap low-in-
come people in the adult courts
have received enormous attention
in the past year or two. But the
systematic imposition of costs on
juvenile offenders, with equally
pernicious effects on the poorest
of them, is far less known.
And for Dequan and his family,
it got worse. Duval County, where

DETROIT Donald J. Trumps
visit to a black church here on Sat-
urday will be a major moment for
a candidate with a history of of-
fending the sensibilities of black
Americans.
His team was leaving nothing to
chance.
Instead of speaking to the con-
gregation at Great Faith Min-
istries International, Mr. Trump
had planned to be interviewed by
its pastor in a session that would
be closed to the public and the
news media, with questions sub-
mitted in advance. And instead of
letting Mr. Trump be his free-
wheeling self, his campaign pre-
pared lengthy answers for the
submitted questions, consulting
black Republicans to make sure
he says the right things.
An eight-page draft script ob-
tained by The New York Times
shows 12 questions that Bishop
Wayne T. Jackson, the pastor, in-
tends to ask Mr. Trump in the
taped question-and-answer ses-
sion, as well as the responses Mr.
Trump is being advised to give.
The proposed answers were de-
vised by aides working for the
Trump campaign and the Republi-
can National Committee, accord-
ing to an official who has been in-
volved in the planning but de-
clined to be identified while speak-
ing about confidential strategy.
The document includes the ex-
act wording of answers the aides
are proposing for Mr. Trump to
give to questions about police
killings, racial tension and the per-
ception among many black voters
that he and the Republican Party
are racist, among other topics.
The official said the answers
could change based on feedback
from the black Republicans they
are consulting with.

Georgetown Plans Steps to Atone for Slave Past
By RACHEL L. SWARNS
WASHINGTON Nearly two
centuries after Georgetown Uni-
versity profited from the sale of
272 slaves, it will embark on a se-
ries of steps to atone for the past,
including awarding preferential
status in the admissions process
to descendants of the enslaved,
university officials said Thursday.
Georgetowns president, John J.
DeGioia, who announced the
measures in a speech on Thurs-
day afternoon, said he would offer
a formal apology, create an insti-
tute for the study of slavery and
erect a public memorial to the
slaves whose labor benefited the
institution, including those who
were sold in 1838 to help keep the
university afloat.
In addition, two campus build-
ings will be renamed one for an
enslaved African-American man
and the other for an African-
American educator who belonged
to a Catholic religious order.
So far, Dr. DeGioias plan does
not include a provision for offering
scholarships to descendants, a
possibility that was raised by a
university committee whose rec-
ommendations were released on
Thursday morning. The commit-
tee, however, stopped short of call-

This is why nobody will take
sides in a presidential campaign.
But if Israel is staying away
from the American campaign, the
campaign is staying away from Is-
rael, too. While it was an occa-
sional topic of questioning during
primary debates, it has been all
but absent from the discussion in
the general election.
In part, that reflects a high-oc-
tane campaign of invective that
has overlooked many policy ques-
tions. But it also underscores the
plethora of other issues that have
seized Washingtons attention,
principally the rise of the Islamic
State, the war in Syria and rela-

Scrutiny on Its Ownership
Trips Up a Chinese Giant
Firm on Global Spending Spree Is Traced to
a Group of Unlikely Billionaires
By MICHAEL FORSYTHE and JONATHAN ANSFIELD
Pingyang Countys verdant
hills still hint at a long-lost China.
Rice paddies and villages sur-
round its bustling towns, and in
the fields, farmers wade into the
mud to plant seedlings as they
have for thousands of years.
It is an odd place to find the peo-
ple behind a Chinese corporate
powerhouse that is turning heads
on Wall Street with a global take-
over binge. Yet the area is home to
a tiny group of just such people
small-time merchants and vil-
lagers who happen to control
multibillion-dollar stakes in the
Anbang Insurance Group, which
owns the Waldorf Astoria in New
York and a portfolio of global
names and properties.
American regulators are now
asking who these shareholders
are and whether they are hold-
ing their stakes on behalf of oth-
ers.
The questions add to the mys-
tery surrounding a company that
seemed to come out of nowhere,
surprising deal makers with of-
fers to pay more than $30 billion
for assets around the world.
Anbangs shopping spree is
part of an outflow of money from
China that has reshaped global
markets but has often been
shrouded in secrecy, sometimes
by prominent Chinese looking to
shift their wealth abroad without
attracting attention at home. That
poses a problem for international
regulators trying to identify the
buyers behind major acquisitions
and to assess the riskiness of
these deals.
The Anbang shareholders in the
Pingyang County area hold their
stakes through a byzantine col-
lection of holding companies. But

SpaceX Blast Rural Divide
Puts Big Goals On Jail Time:
Into Question Less Leniency
This article is by Kenneth Chang,
Mike Isaac and Matt Richtel.
A spectacular explosion of a
SpaceX rocket on Thursday de-
stroyed a $200 million communi-
cations satellite that would have
extended Facebooks reach across
Africa, dealing a serious setback
to Elon Musk, the billionaire who
runs the rocket company.
The blast is likely to disrupt
NASAs cargo deliveries to the In-
ternational Space Station, expos-
ing the risks of the agencys grow-
ing reliance on private companies
like SpaceX to carry materials
and, soon, astronauts.
The explosion, at Cape Canav-
eral, Fla., intensified questions
about whether Mr. Musk is mov-
ing too quickly in his headlong in-
vestment in some of the biggest
and most complex industries, not
just space travel but carmakers
and electric utilities.
This is not the first problem Mr.
Musk has suffered as he tries to
create space travel that is cheap
and commonplace. Each of his
companies, including Tesla and
SolarCity, has hit major stumbling
blocks recently. The owner of a
Tesla car died in May in a crash us-
ing the companys autopilot soft-
ware, and SolarCity faces major fi-
nancial challenges.
SpaceX is running a punishing
schedule, said Scott Pace, the di-
rector of the Space Policy Insti-
tute at George Washington Uni-
versity and a former NASA offi-
cial.

quaintances of Wu Xiaohui, An-
bangs chairman, a native of the
county who married into the fam-
ily of Deng Xiaoping, Chinas para-
mount leader in the 1980s and
90s.
In many ways, Anbang and Mr.
Wu appear to be archetypal prod-
ucts of Chinas mix of freewheel-
ing capitalism and Communist
Party dominance, a formula that
has fueled nearly four decades of
untrammeled growth.
Anbang got its start as an auto
insurance company in 2004 in the
eastern Chinese city of Ningbo.
For years it was only a minor play-
er. But it took off as it became
more aggressive with its finances,
buying stakes in Chinese banks
and bringing in money by selling
high-risk, high-yield investment
funds to ordinary Chinese.

Tobacco Lobby
Tries to Shield
E-Cigarettes
Aims at Rule Allowing
F.D.A. to Study Risk
By ERIC LIPTON
WASHINGTON The e-
cigarette and cigar industries
have enlisted high-profile lobby-
ists and influential congressional
allies in an attempt to stop the
Food and Drug Administration
from retroactively examining
their products for public health
risks or banning them from the
market.
The campaign targets a broad
new rule that extends F.D.A. juris-
diction to include cigars, e-cig-
arettes and pipe and hookah to-
bacco.
The bipartisan effort has fea-
tured a former senator who did
not register as a lobbyist before
going to work for the cigar compa-
nies and a former Obama admin-
istration official, now a private
consultant, who is trying to undo
his earlier work reviewing the
rule. In addition, one member of
Congress introduced industry-
written legislation without chang-
ing a word of it.
The battle shows how, nearly
two decades after the $200 billion
settlement between tobacco com-
panies and state attorneys gen-
eral to compensate the public for
health consequences of smoking,
the industry still wields extraordi-
nary clout in Washington.
With its army of more than 75
lobbyists, tobacco-aligned compa-
nies have argued that the F.D.A.s
so-called Deeming Rule could
hurt public health by forcing a
large share of e-cigarette compa-
nies out of business.
The F.D.A. has blatantly ig-
nored evidence that our products

DISCORD DEEPENS
BETWEEN TRUMP
AND COMMITTEE
R.N.C. SILENT ON SPEECH
Tone of His Remarks on
Immigration Opened
New Wound
By ALEXANDER BURNS
and MAGGIE HABERMAN
The Republican National Com-
mittee had high hopes that Donald
J. Trump would deliver a compas-
sionate and measured speech
about immigration on Wednesday,
and prepared to lavish praise on
the candidate on the partys Twit-
ter account.
So when Mr. Trump instead of-
fered a fiery denunciation of mi-
grant criminals and suggested de-
porting Hillary Clinton, Reince
Priebus, the party chairman, sig-
naled that aides should scrap the
plan, and the committee made no
statement at all.
The evening tore a painful new
wound in Mr. Trumps relationship
with the Republican National
Committee, imperiling his most
important remaining political alli-
ance.
Mr. Priebus and his organiza-
tion have been steadfastly sup-
portive of Mr. Trump, defending
him in public and spending mil-
lions of dollars to aid him. But the
collaboration between Mr.
Trumps campaign and Mr.
Priebuss committee has grown
strained over the last month, ac-
cording to six senior Republicans
with detailed knowledge of both
groups, some of whom asked to
speak anonymously for fear of ex-
acerbating tensions.
There is no prospect of a full
public breach between the Trump
campaign and the R.N.C. because
both sides rely on a joint fund-rais-
ing arrangement crucial to their
election efforts.

U.S. and China Set Aside

Rifts for Climate Accord
Rare Display of Harmony as Much Friction
Persists in a Complex Relationship
By MARK LANDLER and JANE PERLEZ
HANGZHOU, China Presi-
dent Obama and President Xi Jin-
ping of China formally committed
the worlds two largest economies
to the Paris climate agreement
here on Saturday, cementing their
partnership on climate change
and offering a rare display of har-
mony in a relationship that has be-
come increasingly discordant.
On multiple fronts, like comput-
er hacking and maritime security,
ties between China and the United
States have frayed during the sev-
en and a half years of Mr. Obamas
presidency. The friction has
worsened since the ascension of
Mr. Xi as a powerful nationalist
leader in 2013.
Yet the fact that he and Mr.
Obama could set aside those ten-
sions to work together yet again
Though widely expected as the
next step in the legal process, the
move could provide a boost to
those who want to build momen-
tum for further climate talks by
bringing the December accord
into effect as soon as possible.
Countries accounting for 55 per-
cent of the worlds emissions must
present formal ratification docu-
ments for that to happen, and to-
gether, China and the United
States generate nearly 40 percent
of the worlds emissions.
Despite our differences on
other issues, we hope our willing-
ness to work together on this issue
will inspire further ambition and
further action around the world,

Trump Visits Clinton Uses
Black Church Access to Woo
For First Time The Ultrarich
By YAMICHE ALCINDOR
and ALEXANDER BURNS
DETROIT Donald J. Trump,
who has campaigned for presi-
dent as a blunt provocateur, dis-
missing complaints of racial in-
sensitivity as political correct-
ness, took an uncharacteristic
step on Saturday: He visited a
black church for the first time and
tried to blend in.
Flanked by a few black
supporters, including Ben Carson,
a former presidential candidate,
and Omarosa Manigault, a former
contestant on The Apprentice,
Mr. Trump cut a subdued figure
here at Great Faith Ministries In-
ternational.
He beamed as congregants
greeted him and swayed to the
chords of the song What a
Mighty God We Serve. Speaking
softly, he invoked the civil rights
movement and Abraham Lincoln.
Donning a prayer shawl given to
him by the churchs pastor, Bishop
Wayne T. Jackson, Mr. Trump pro-
claimed, I feel better already.
Mr. Trump is deeply unpopular
with black voters and perceived
by many as hostile to their com-
munity. His company has faced
accusations of discrimination
against black tenants; he has al-
leged falsely in the past that Presi-

United States; and as a champion
of aggressive policing, he has
stirred indignation by caricatur-

Israel Seeking
Police Recruits:

Hreib, Ghadeer Ghadeer, Munis
Huwari and Arafat Hassanein,
dressed like a hipster and named
after the Palestinian leader, whom
most Israeli Jews view as a terror-
ist.
How did they even let you in?
an astonished colleague asked Mr.
Hassanein, 20.
The unusual roster is the result
of an Israeli push to recruit into its
police force Arab Muslims, who
are both vastly underrepresented
in its ranks and vastly overrepre-
sented among criminal suspects
and victims.
Arab Muslims are currently 1.5
percent of the 30,000-member na-
tional police force, and the right-
wing public security minister
seeks to increase that number in
three years by adding 1,350 new
ones. Many would work in Arab
cities and towns, where the min-
istry has promised to open 12 new
police stations. (There are seven
in such areas now, out of 70 across
Israel.)

Young Blacks
Voice Doubts
About Clinton
A Lack of Enthusiasm
Worries Democrats
By JONATHAN MARTIN
WASHINGTON When a
handful of liberal advocacy orga-
nizations convened a series of fo-
cus groups with young black
voters last month, the assess-
ments of Donald J. Trump were
predictably unsparing.
But when the participants were
asked about Hillary Clinton, their
appraisals were just as blunt and
nearly as biting.
What am I supposed to do if I
dont like him and I dont trust
her? a millennial black woman in
Ohio asked. Choose between be-
ing stabbed and being shot? No
way!
She was part of the whole prob-
lem that started sending blacks to
jail, a young black man, also from
Ohio, observed about Mrs. Clin-
ton.
Hes a racist, and she is a liar,
so really whats the difference in
choosing both or choosing nei-
ther? another young black wom-
an from Ohio said.
Young African-Americans, like
all voters their age, are typically
far harder to drive to the polls
than middle-aged and older
Americans. Yet with just over two
months until Election Day, many
Democrats are expressing alarm
at the lack of enthusiasm, and in
some cases outright resistance,
some black millennials feel to-
ward Mrs. Clinton.
Their skepticism is rooted in a
deep discomfort with the political
establishment that they believe
the 68-year-old former first lady
and secretary of state represents.
They share a lingering mistrust of
Mrs. Clinton and her husband
over criminal justice issues. They
are demanding more from poli-
ticians as part of a new, confronta-
tional wave of black activism that
has arisen in response to police
killings of unarmed African-
Americans.
Were in the midst of a move-
ment with a real sense of urgen-
cy, explained Brittany Packnett,
31, a St. Louis-based leader in the
push for police accountability.
Mrs. Clinton is not yet connecting,
she said, because the conversa-
tion that younger black voters are
having is no longer one about set-
tling on a candidate who is better
than the alternative.
The question of just how many
young African-Americans will
show up to vote carries profound
implications for this election. Mrs.

Mother Teresa Is Made a Saint, A Summer Full of Superflops:
And a City Testifies to Her Grace Is It the Films or Ticket Buyers?
By ELLEN BARRY
KOLKATA, India When
Mother Teresas canonization
took place on Sunday, a battered-
looking audience gathered in front
of a screen some 4,500 miles east
of St. Peters Square: men with
caved-in chests, weeping sores
wrapped in gauze, extremities
missing entirely, legs so thin you
could encircle them with a finger
and thumb.
Celebratory balloons had been
strung from the rafters at Nirmal
Hriday Home for the Dying Desti-
tute, and they bounced around
merrily under the overhead fans
while nuns sang hymns in reedy
voices. It is a spare, whitewashed
space, not much changed since
1952, when Mother Teresa wel-
comed the hospices first patient, a
man found near death on the
street.
The Home for the Dying Desti-
tute became a central part of her
legend, and Sundays small cele-
bration had a proprietary air. Vol-
unteers began filing in at 8 a.m.,

We all scream.
But nothing has stopped the
thieves from taking the very
specific item one of lifes en-
during, sweet pleasures as sum-
mer takes a bow that they
have come for.
For ice cream.
The police have asked the
public for assistance in identify-
ing four suspects in a string of
ice cream thefts since at least
November. They have stolen
approximately 1,249 cartons or
bars of ice cream and gelato in 11
thefts, the police said. All the
thefts took place in chain stores
like Duane Reade, CVS and Rite
Aid.
They come at night, like two
or three of them, with bags,
Gabriel Rosario said, stocking
shelves last week at a Duane
Reade near Washington Square
Park. They fill them up and run
out of the store.

NEGOTIATIONS IN CHINA
After Little Debate Back
Home, Kerry Works
for a Cease-Fire
By MARK LANDLER
and MARK MAZZETTI
HANGZHOU, China The im-
age of a 5-year-old Syrian boy,
dazed and bloodied after being
rescued from an airstrike on
rebel-held Aleppo, reverberated
around the world last month, a
harrowing reminder that five
years after civil war broke out
there, Syria remains a charnel
house.
But the reaction was more
muted in Washington, where Syr-
ia has become a distant disaster
rather than an urgent crisis. Presi-
dent Obamas policy toward Syria
has barely budged in the last year
and shows no sign of change for
the remainder of his term. The
White House has faced little pres-
sure over the issue, in part be-
cause Syria is getting scant atten-
tion on the campaign trail from ei-
ther Donald J. Trump or Hillary
Clinton.
That frustrates many analysts
because they believe that a shift in
policy will come only when Mr.
Obama has left office. Given the
tone of this campaign, I doubt the
electorate will be presented with
realistic and intelligible options,
with respect to Syria, said Frede-
ric C. Hof, a former adviser on Syr-
ia in the administration.
The lack of substantive political
debate about Syria is all the more
striking given that the Obama ad-
ministration is engaged in an in-
creasingly desperate effort to bro-
ker a deal with Russia for a cease-
fire that would halt the rain of
bombs on Aleppo.
Those negotiations moved on
Sunday to China, where Secretary
of State John Kerry met for two
hours with the Russian foreign
minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, at a
Group of 20 meeting. At one point,
the State Department was confi-
dent enough to schedule a news
conference, at which the two were
supposed to announce a deal.
But Mr. Kerry turned up alone,
acknowledging that a couple of
tough issues were still dividing
them.

said, and were not going to do

Trump and Clinton Begin Final Sprint to November

In Parallel, Candidates Recalibrate Their Approaches to the Campaign
By ASHLEY PARKER
CLEVELAND Hillary Clinton and
Donald J. Trump ran virtually parallel
campaigns on Monday as they geared up
for the final stretch of the presidential
race. She made nice with the news media
by opening up her campaign plane and
chatting with reporters. He followed suit,
inviting a smaller group of reporters
onto his plane and answering questions
during the 30-minute flight.
She took along her running mate, and
so did he, as both focused on Ohio and
nearly crossed paths in Cleveland. Their
motorcades all but passed each other,
and all four candidates planes ended up
on the tarmac at Cleveland Hopkins In-
ternational Airport at the same time.
Mrs. Clinton moved on several fronts
on Monday to confront nagging doubts
about her candidacy, despite her com-
fortable lead in many swing-state polls.
Courting labor supporters, she met with
union leaders in Cleveland while her hus-
band, Bill Clinton, appeared at a Labor
Day parade in Detroit. Seeking the back-
ing of progressive voters, she enlisted
her primary opponent, Senator Bernie
Sanders of Vermont, who made his first
solo appearance on Mrs. Clintons behalf
at a rally in New Hampshire.
And her outreach to reporters includ-
ed her most extensive question-and-an-
swer session with them in months. She
expressed alarm about the credible re-
ports about Russian government inter-
ference in our elections through hack-
ing, saying, Weve never had a foreign

Swell-looking home youve got

How about to me, right now?
That is increasingly the ap-
proach the house-hungry are
using in Silicon Valley, where the
number of homes on the market
is so small that would-be buyers
are driven to desperation. Their
solution: seek out homes that
are, in theory at least, not for
sale.
Sue Zweig grew up in this
working-class community, back
when people said it was for the
newly wed and the nearly dead.
Not long ago, when she was out
walking her dog, she began to
realize things were different. A
woman pulled over, asked about
houses for sale in the neighbor-
hood and ended up spending 45
minutes poking around Ms.
Zweigs living room and kitchen.
Her four-bedroom house was
not on the market then, and it
was not on the market a year or
so later when another eager
buyer showed up. This time, Ms.
Zweig, a nurse, and her husband,
Steve Zweig, made a deal for
$1.375 million, a seven-figure
profit over what they had paid in
1987. They moved out of the
house last year.

Donald J. Trump, who has re-

Caught in the Crush Marxist-inspired Frankfurt

How an American pilgrim survived a catastrophe at the hajj
as hundreds if not thousands died around him.
By SARAH ALMUKHTAR
and DEREK WATKINS
Im dying. Im dying. I need water.
Rashid Siddiqui kept hearing those
words from his fellow Muslim pilgrims
lying mangled on the ground in 118-de-
gree heat, under a searing Saudi sun.
Barefoot, topless and dazed, Mr. Sid-
diqui had somehow escaped being
crushed by the surging crowd.
It was Sept. 24, 2015, the third morn-
ing of the hajj, the annual five-day pil-
grimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, by mil-
lions of Muslims from around the world.
By some estimates, it was the deadliest
day in hajj history and one of the worst
accidents in the world in decades.
An American from Atlanta, Mr. Sid-
diqui, 42, had been walking through a
sprawling valley of tens of thousands of
pilgrim tents. His destination: Jamarat
Bridge, where pilgrims throw pebbles
at three large pillars in a ritual symbol-
izing the stoning of the devil.
He was less than a mile from the

bridge when the crush began.
Hundreds, and probably thousands,
died. But nearly a year later, the Saudi
authorities have yet to explain exactly
how the disaster happened. Nor have
they provided what is widely consid-
ered an accurate death toll. Many of the
victims came from Iran, Saudi Arabias
bitter rival, creating a new source of ac-
rimony between the countries that led
Irans government to bar its citizens
from the hajj this year.
Deadly crowd crushes once fre-
quently marred the hajj, especially
around the Jamarat Bridge. The Saudis
sought to prevent such calamities by ex-
panding the bridge after more than 360
people died near it in 2006.
After the expansion, there were no
major episodes until last year.
A count by The Associated Press, de-
rived from official and state news re-
ports of the dead from 36 countries with
pilgrims in Mecca, found that at least
2,400 people had died. The Saudi au-
thorities, however, still give an official
death toll of 769.

management, the Saudi royal family

Clinton Defends Record A Task Seen as Greater

Trump Says Hell Than the Economy

By PATRICK HEALY This article is by Julie Hirschfeld

Hillary Clinton vowed not to
send American ground troops to
Iraq ever again and Donald J.
Trump insinuated that he had
learned shocking new informa-
tion involving President Obama
without ever revealing it as
the two candidates made back-to-
back appearances Wednesday
night at a forum that
foreshadowed their highly antici-
pated debate later this month.
Mrs. Clinton, who was fre-
quently put on the defensive by
audience members asking ques-
tions about her judgment, sought
to reassure voters that she would
be a forceful and steady com-
mander in chief, noting her role in
the killing of Osama bin Laden
and pledging that defeating the Is-
lamic State was her highest
counterterrorism goal.
She promised air power and
other support to Arab and Muslim
allies but added, We are not
putting ground troops into Iraq
ever again, and were not putting
them into Syria.
Mr. Trump was withering in his
attacks on her record while vague
about his own, and defensive
about his shifting stands on the
Iraq war over the years. He re-
peatedly declared that he was
ready to handle national security
issues, without being challenged.

Senior Mexican Official Resigns Connecticut Told to Start Over
Amid Outrage Over Trump Visit As a Judge Faults Its Schools
By KIRK SEMPLE and ELISABETH MALKIN
MEXICO CITY One of Presi-
dent Enrique Pea Nietos top
ministers and closest allies re-
signed on Wednesday, an appar-
ent casualty of Mr. Pea Nietos
wildly unpopular meeting last
week with Donald J. Trump.
The spectacle of the Mexican
president standing next to the Re-
publican candidate who has dis-
paraged Mexicans prompted
widespread dismay and anger
here, and reportedly divided Mr.
Pea Nietos cabinet. Luis Vide-
garay, the finance minister who
stepped down on Wednesday, had
championed the idea of inviting
Mr. Trump to Mexico City over the
objections of other ministers, ac-
cording to several Mexican news
media reports, though Mr. Pea
Nieto insisted it was his own ini-
tiative.
Mr. Pea Nieto announced Mr.
Videgarays resignation at a news
conference.
He did not give a reason for Mr.
Videgarays departure. But some
analysts interpreted it as the lat-
est, and most dramatic, effort by
the president to regain the trust of
the Mexican public following his
meeting with Mr. Trump, the Re-
publican presidential nominee,
who has made criticism of Mexi-
cans and Mexico an incendiary
motif of his campaign.
It will help mitigate the anger,

In a decision that could funda-
mentally reshape public educa-
tion in Connecticut, the state was
ordered on Wednesday to make
changes in everything from how
schools are financed to which stu-
dents are eligible to graduate from
high school to how teachers are
paid and evaluated.
Reading his ruling from the
bench for more than two hours,
Judge Thomas Moukawsher of
State Superior Court in Hartford
said that Connecticut is default-
ing on its constitutional duty to
give all children an adequate edu-
cation.
Judge Moukawshers decision
was a response to a lawsuit filed
more than a decade ago that
claimed the state was shortchang-
ing the poorest district when it

against rising seas, freakish
storms, deadly droughts and
other symptoms of a planet chok-
ing on its own fumes.
Bombs may not be falling. The

difficult is that it is not an instanta-

Climate change, Mr. Obama of-

threat facing the world, as well as
a danger already manifesting it-
self as droughts, storms, heat

BRASLIA At one heated
moment in the impeachment trial
of Dilma Rousseff, a powerful sen-
ator pushing for her ouster de-
cided that some of his outspoken
female colleagues in the chamber
needed scolding.
Calm down, girls, the senator,
Cssio Cunha Lima, part of a po-
litical dynasty from northeastern
Brazil, told Senators Vanessa
Grazziotin and Gleisi Hoffmann,
both supporters of Ms. Rousseff,
Brazils first female president. His
remark drew sharp rebukes from
the two women.
Men believe they are the own-
ers of this space, as if were just
here by chance, said Ms. Grazzi-
otin, 55, a prominent leftist sena-
tor from Amazonas State.
For senators like Ms. Grazzi-
otin, the episode reflected the em-
boldening of conservative voices
after the impeachment of Ms.
Rousseff, who argued that she had
been the target of misogynistic at-
tacks by opponents. Female poli-
ticians across Brazil are debating
what her downfall means in a po-
litical realm dominated by men.
Despite the inroads made by
Ms. Rousseff and others, Brazil
ranks remarkably low in the rep-
resentation of women in politics.
Of the 513 members of the Cham-
ber of Deputies, the lower house of
the Brazilian Congress, 51 are
women, placing the country 155th
in the world in the percentage of
women elected to the lower house
of a national legislature, accord-
ing to the Inter-Parliamentary
Union. It trails places like Saudi
Arabia and Turkmenistan.

Temer, Ms. Rousseffs successor

torious in the power struggle to
oust her is doing little to as-

A Nuclear Test

SEOUL, South Korea North
Korea conducted its fifth under-

South Korean officials said, de-

from the United States and the

more powerful explosive yield

Trump Faulted VEXING HIS ALLIES,
For His Notions TRUMP KEEPS UP
About Assaults
Women in Military Not
Cause, Experts Say PENCE ECHOES OPINION
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
and MATTHEW ROSENBERG
WASHINGTON Sexual as-
sault in the military has plagued
the Pentagon in recent years as a
series of high-profile cases, and
new data, revealed the extent of
the problem. In response, Presi-
dent Obama and members of Con-
gress demanded that military offi-
cials more aggressively address
the threat and its causes.
Yet few military experts went
as far as Donald J. Trump did
Wednesday, when he suggested
that the integration of women into
the armed forces was an underly-
ing cause of sexual assault.
Speaking at a candidates for-
um, Mr. Trump defended one of
his Twitter posts from 2013 con-
cerning the high number of sexual
assaults in the military, and said
that he had been absolutely cor-
rect in posting a message that
pect when they put men & women
together?
The remarks drew criticism on
Thursday from lawmakers and
military experts, who said Mr.
Trump had displayed ignorance of
the Pentagons decades-long
struggle to curb such assaults and
the military justice system that is
in place to prosecute them.
Thats more than victim blam-
ing, and it misunderstands the
historical role of women in the mil-
itary, said retired Col. Don Chris-
tensen, a former chief prosecutor
of the Air Force.
American women in the mili-
tary have taken on expanded roles
in recent years as the Pentagon
has integrated them into more
combat positions. But they have
worked alongside servicemen
since the Revolutionary War, and
in significant numbers since
World War II, something Mr.
Trump did not acknowledge.
Their roles have grown over the
centuries from nurses, cooks and
seamstresses, who maintained
the camps of the Continental
Army, to fighter pilots, soldiers,
sailors and Marines who are bat-
tling the Islamic State in the Mid-
dle East and Afghanistan.

Airbnb Has Enlisted Hosts;
Now It Must Fight Their Bias
By KATIE BENNER
SAN FRANCISCO For much
of this year, Airbnb has been un-
der fire over the ease with which
its hosts can reject potential
renters based on race, age, gender
or other factors.
The barrage of criticism began
with a Harvard University study,
snowballed with firsthand ac-
counts of discrimination from
Airbnb guests and wound up
prompting a lawsuit.
Airbnb, the short-term rental
website, has moved quickly to
tamp down the controversy. It em-
barked on a top-to-bottom review
of how discrimination might creep
into the site. It hired prominent
advisers, including the former

PRAISE OF PUTIN
Seizing Chance, Clinton
Calls the Talk Scary
and Unpatriotic
By JONATHAN MARTIN

WASHINGTON Donald J.
Trumps campaign on Thursday
reaffirmed its extraordinary em-
brace of Russias president, Vlad-
imir V. Putin, signaling a prefer-
ence for the leadership of an au-
thoritarian adversary over that of
Americas own president, despite
a cascade of criticism from Dem-
ocrats and expressions of discom-
fort among Republicans.
I think its inarguable that
Vladimir Putin has been a strong-
er leader in his country than
Barack Obama has been in this
country, Gov. Mike Pence of
Indiana, Mr. Trumps running
mate, said on CNN, defending Mr.
Trump by echoing his latest praise
for the Russian leader, offered
Wednesday night in a televised
candidate forum.
Hillary Clinton excoriated Mr.
Trump for asserting that Mr. Putin
is a better leader than President
Obama, saying it was not just un-
patriotic and insulting to the peo-
ple of our country, as well as to our
commander in chief it is scary.
She seized on Mr. Trumps as-
sertion in the televised forum that
Mr. Putins incursions into neigh-

than Mr. Obamas transgressions.

MAJOR NUCLEAR TEST
A Powerful Display of
Defiance Despite
Sanctions
This article is by David E. Sanger,
Choe Sang-Hun and Jane Perlez.
GENEVA North Koreas lat-
est test of an atomic weapon
leaves the United States with an
uncomfortable choice: Stick with
a policy of incremental sanctions
that has clearly failed to stop the
countrys nuclear advances or
pick among alternatives that
range from the highly risky to the
repugnant.
A hard embargo, in which
Washington and its allies block all
shipping into and out of North Ko-
rea and seek to paralyze its fi-
nances, risks confrontations that
allies in Asia fear could quickly es-
calate into war. But restarting
talks on the Norths terms would
reward the defiance of its young
leader, Kim Jong-un, with no guar-
antee that he will dismantle the
nuclear program irrevocably.
Speaking in Geneva early Sat-
urday morning after announcing
a deal with Russia over the Syrian
conflict, Secretary of State John
Kerry said the United States was
willing to negotiate with North
Korea, but only if it agreed that the
goal of those talks was for it to give
up its weapons. We have made
overture after overture to the dic-
tator of North Korea, he said, in-
cluding on normalizing the coun-
trys relationship with the West
and a formal peace agreement to
replace the 1953 armistice that
halted the Korean War but not the
state of hostilities.

Pipeline Work
In Tribes Path
By JACK HEALY
and JOHN SCHWARTZ
BISMARCK, N.D. The fed-
eral government on Friday tem-
porarily blocked construction on
part of a North Dakota oil pipeline,
an unusual intervention in a
prairie battle that has drawn thou-
sands of Native Americans and
activists to camp and demon-
strate.
In announcing the pause, the
government acknowledged com-
plaints from the Standing Rock
Sioux and other tribal nations that
their concerns had not been fully
heard before federal overseers ap-
proved a pipeline that the tribe
said could damage their water
supplies and ancestral cultural
sites. The Justice Department and
other agencies called for serious
discussion on whether there
should be nationwide reform with
respect to considering tribes
views on these types of infrastruc-
ture projects.
The tribe in a statement called
the federal order a game chang-
er.
The governments move, an-
nounced minutes after a federal
judge rejected efforts by the
Standing Rock Sioux, appeared to
seek to ease tensions and reset the
terms of a passionate debate that
has cast the 1,170-mile Dakota Ac-

But perhaps more significantly, it

Nations Goal Is to Link
Military Targeting of
Islamic Jihadists
By DAVID E. SANGER
and ANNE BARNARD
GENEVA Russia and the
United States agreed early Satur-
day on a new plan to reduce vio-
lence in the Syrian conflict that, if
successful, could lead for the first
time to joint military targeting by
the two powers against Islamic
jihadists in Syria.
The agreement was reached af-
ter 10 months of failed attempts to
halt the fighting and of suspended
efforts to reach a political settle-
ment to an increasingly complex
conflict that began more than five
years ago.
That conflict has left nearly half
a million people dead, created the
largest refugee
crisis since
World War II
and turned Syr-
ia into a prime
incubator of re-
cruiting for the

and the Nusra

were marred, in President Oba-

between Russia and the United
States, which back opposite sides

the Islamic jihadists flourishing
there.
Relations between the two
throughout much of the Obama
administration, have been espe-
cially jolted recently by accusa-
tions of Russian hacking and sub-
terfuge in American politics. The
tensions have been further
exacerbated by the effusive
praise for President Vladimir V.
Putin of Russia by the Republican
presidential nominee, Donald J.
Trump.
The new arrangement on Syria,
set to begin Monday, was greeted
with skepticism by Syrians on all
sides and carries many risks of
failure, which the Pentagon and

Trumps Putin: U.S. Extradition Benefits

Strength Seen
As Top Virtue
Maintaining an Image,
No Matter the Costs
By ANDREW HIGGINS
MOSCOW Tiger shooter,
bare-chested horseman and archi-
tect of Russias revival as a mus-
cular global power, President
Vladimir V. Putin, dressed in a
somber suit and tie, sat for over an
hour this past week sipping tea
from a delicate porcelain cup and
offering earnest advice on how to
improve housing, medical care
and other services in a provincial
town south of here.
State television broadcast the
entire encounter, in between re-
ports of Russian airstrikes in Syr-
ia ordered by Mr. Putin and gleeful
accounts of how, thanks to a stunt
by a pro-Putin athlete, the Rus-
sian flag appeared during the
opening ceremony of the Para-
lympic Games in Rio de Janeiro
despite a ban on the Russian
squad because of a doping scan-
dal.
It was, in the span of just a few
hours, a dizzying display of the po-
litical mastery that Mr. Putin has
over his country and his own im-
age a tough, can-do warrior;
caring father of his people; and
guarantor that no slight to Rus-
sias pride will go unanswered.
Mr. Putin, 63, has shown an ex-
traordinary ability to project an
image of towering strength no
matter what the circumstances.
When he first took power, an old
schoolteacher of his in St. Peters-
burg, Vera Malishkina, remem-
bered her former pupil, who is be-
low average height, as a superb
basketball player because he was
very tall.
He has many critics, many of
them now in exile outside Russia
or voiceless outside the coffee
shops and wine bars of cosmopoli-
tan cities like Moscow. But as Don-
ald J. Trump said with admira-
tion: Mr. Putin has very strong
control over Russia.

No Driver? Bring It On. How Pittsburgh Became Ubers Test City. Officers With Troubled Pasts
By CECILIA KANG
PITTSBURGH Any day now,
Uber will introduce a fleet of self-
driving cars in Pittsburgh,
making this former steel town the
worlds first city to let passengers

So with the world watching,
what has the city of 306,000 done
to prepare for Ubers unprece-
dented test? The answer is not
much.
There have been no public serv-
ice announcements or dem-
onstrations of the technology. Ex-
cept for the mayor and one police
official, no other top city leader
has seen a self-driving Uber vehi-
cle operate up close. Fire and
emergency services dont know
where the Uber cars will travel.
It is precisely this hands-off ap-
proach that has made Pittsburgh

planned to use about 100 modified
Volvo sport utility vehicles for the
passenger trials. The vehicles will
also have a human monitor be-

you put out the carpet.
The mayors mantra highlights
what it takes these days as cities
seek to shed their Rust Belt pasts
and transform themselves into
technology hubs essentially,
give the tech companies lots of
free rein. The approach, described
as greenlight governing, is one
that Pittsburgh and the state of
Pennsylvania have nurtured over
the last few years.
When Uber wanted to expand
its research around autonomous
vehicles, Pittsburgh helped the
company lease a large plot near
the citys riverfront for a testing
track. When state regulators tried

As a police officer in a small Or-
egon town in 2004, Sean Sullivan
was caught kissing a 10-year-old
girl on the mouth.
Mr. Sullivans sentence barred
him from taking another job as a
police officer.
But three months later, in Au-
gust 2005, Mr. Sullivan was hired,
after a cursory check, not just as a
police officer on another force but
as the police chief. As the head of
the department in Cedar Vale,
Kan., according to court records
and law enforcement officials, he
was again investigated for a sus-
pected sexual relationship with a
girl and eventually convicted on
charges that included burglary
and criminal conspiracy.
It was very irritating because
he should never have been a po-
lice officer, said Larry Markle,
the prosecutor for Montgomery
and Chautauqua counties in Kan-
sas.
Mr. Sullivan, 44, is now in prison
in Washington State on other
charges, including identity theft
and possession of methamphet-
amine. It is unclear how far-reach-
ing such problems may be, but
some experts say thousands of
law enforcement officers may
have drifted from police depart-
ment to police department even
after having been fired, forced to
resign or convicted of a crime.
Yet there is no comprehensive,
national system for weeding out
problem officers. If there were,
such hires would not happen,

got married at 25. The usual trap-
pings of family life followed a
daughter, a home, furniture, toys.
That daughter, Song Zongpei,
now 28, is taking a different path.
Ms. Song shares a rented apart-
ment in Beijing with two room-
mates and is focusing on her ca-
reer and her finances. She does
not see marriage or motherhood
in her immediate future. At this
stage, the most important thing
for me is personal development,
Ms. Song said.
Fewer Chinese people are get-

implications for Chinas economic
and social life. The decline in mar-
riages means a decline in the
number of babies, and potentially
less spending on homes, appli-
ances and other family-related
purchases the kind of spending
China needs to drive economic
growth.
Already some businesses are
thinking single. Jewelry makers
are offering cheaper baubles for
unmarried sweethearts. One ap-
pliance maker is selling smaller
rice cookers. Foreign fertility
services are advertising for Chi-
nese women who want to freeze
their eggs a process that is pro-
hibited for single women in China

ATLANTA Could this traffic-

to convert 22 miles of mostly dis-

citys urban core into a biking and

Even though just a small frac-

The documents show that a

three Harvard scientists the
equivalent of about $50,000 in to-

Trump Seizes CLINTON SET BACK
Rivals Absence BY CALL TO KEEP
To Press Case
Denounces Comments
About His Backers REFLEX TOWARD PRIVACY
By ALEXANDER BURNS
and MAGGIE HABERMAN
Donald J. Trump hurled himself
into a new effort to reshape the
presidential race on Monday,
scrambling to allay voters con-
cerns about his temperament and
put Hillary Clinton on the defen-
sive over her critical comments
about many of Mr. Trumps
supporters.
Though Mr. Trump, the Repub-
lican nominee, has largely with-
held comment about Mrs. Clin-
tons health, showing uncharac-
teristic restraint after her cam-
paign announced she had
pneumonia, he took Mrs. Clintons
unexpected absence from public
view as an opportunity to press
his case with ferocity.
Among Mr. Trumps advisers,
there is a sense of urgency. With
eight weeks left in the race and
just two before his first debate
with Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic
nominee Mr. Trump may never
again have such a window to
make his argument to voters more
or less uninterrupted.
Without a forceful message and
iron discipline heading into the de-
bates, Mr. Trump could struggle
mightily to overcome the deeply
rooted opposition to his candi-
dacy. An ABC News-Washington
Post poll published over the week-
end showed Mrs. Clinton with a
five-percentage-point edge over
Mr. Trump nationally, with six in
10 voters describing Mr. Trump as
unqualified and biased against
women and minorities.
Mr. Trump seized the chance on
Monday to turn the charge of in-
tolerance against Mrs. Clinton:
Denouncing the allegation that his
supporters were bigoted, Mr.
Trump argued in a speech in Balti-
more that Mrs. Clinton had shown
contempt for voters by deriding

A Resilient Figure Stumbles,

For all of her famed compe-

been, from the beginning, some-
thing of a stumbler. While she
was still a prospective first lady,
she famously insulted all those
cookie-baking mothers of the
world; there was a gap between
her and everywoman, and she
walked right into it with a mis-
step that colored her public
persona going forward. She has
stumbled in traps of her own
making those emails and
traps set by others.
And yet, even after years of
those missteps, Clinton has al-
ways somehow righted herself.
She has withstood not just her
own missteps but also the relent-
less attacks on her personally:
on her cankles, her coldness, her
hairstyles, her marital choices,
her audacity, her arrogance, her
calculatedness. This summer, a

ILLNESS A SECRET
Aides Pledge to Release
Fuller Health History
This Week
By AMY CHOZICK
and PATRICK HEALY
Shortly after receiving a diag-
nosis of pneumonia on Friday, Hil-
lary Clinton decided to limit the in-
formation to her family members
and close aides, certain that the ill-
ness was not a crucial issue for
voters and that it might be twisted
and exploited by her opponents,
several advisers and allies said on
Monday.
To those she did inform, Mrs.
Clinton was emphatic: She in-
tended to press on with her cam-
paign schedule, she said. Her con-
fidants concluded that she did not
want to be challenged over her
preference to keep the pneumonia
private and continue working.
Mrs. Clintons inner circle was
mindful of both her guardedness
and her expectation of loyalty
once her mind is made up. And she
was optimistic that she could re-
cover over the weekend, when she
had only two brief events on her
schedule, said the advisers and al-
lies, who insisted on anonymity to
disclose private conversations.
But Mrs. Clintons penchant for
privacy backfired. On Monday,
her campaign scrambled to re-
assure voters about her health, a
day after she grew visibly weak
and was filmed being helped into a
van: unsettling images that circu-
lated widely and led her aides to
disclose the pneumonia diagnosis
two days after the fact.
In a phone interview with
CNNs Anderson Cooper on Mon-
day night, Mrs. Clinton said she

SYRIA AGREEMENT Russia Mobilizes Faith to Extend Its Influence
WIDENS U.S. RIFT
Officials Split on Sharing

By HELENE COOPER
and DAVID E. SANGER
WASHINGTON The agree-
ment that Secretary of State John
Kerry announced with Russia to
reduce the killing in Syria has
widened an increasingly public di-
vide between Mr. Kerry and De-
fense Secretary Ashton B. Carter,
who has deep reservations about
the plan for American and Rus-
sian forces to jointly target terror-
ist groups.
Mr. Carter was among the ad-
ministration officials who pushed
against the agreement on a con-
ference call with the White House
last week as Mr. Kerry, joining the
argument from a secure facility in
Geneva, grew increasingly frus-
trated. Although President
Obama ultimately approved the
effort after hours of debate, Penta-
gon officials remain unconvinced.
On Tuesday at the Pentagon, of-
ficials would not even agree that if
a cessation of violence in Syria
held for seven days the initial
part of the deal the Defense De-
partment would put in place its
part of the agreement on the
eighth day: an extraordinary col-
laboration between the United
States and Russia that calls for the
American military to share infor-
mation with Moscow on Islamic
State targets in Syria.

Trump Unveils INCOMES IN U.S.
Plan to Expand ARE UP SHARPLY;
Aid to Parents
Hoping for Strides With
Female Voters CENSUS BUREAU REPORT
By NICK CORASANITI
and MAGGIE HABERMAN
ASTON, Pa. Donald J. Trump
unveiled a menu of proposals on
Tuesday to help working parents,
calling for six weeks of mandatory
paid maternity leave and ex-
panded tax credits for child care.
The proposals, which Mr.
Trump outlined in the politically
critical Philadelphia suburbs
along with his daughter Ivanka,
represent a new attempt to court
female voters, who polls show
have been alienated by his bom-
bast and history of provocative re-
marks about women.
Those in leadership must put
themselves in the shoes of the
laid-off factory worker, the family
worried about security or the
mom struggling to afford child
care, Mr. Trump said at a rally
here.
Mr. Trumps decision to put for-
ward such a plan represents a dif-
ferent approach from the one tak-
en by previous Republican presi-
dential nominees.
But in selling his case, Mr.
Trump stretched the truth, saying
that his Democratic rival, Hillary
Clinton, has no such plan of her
own and never will.
Mrs. Clinton issued her plan
more than a year ago, and it guar-
antees up to 12 weeks of paid fam-
ily and medical leave for a new-
born or a sick relative, financed by
an increase in taxes on the wealth-
iest Americans. On Twitter, her
campaign posted a link to her plan
after Mr. Trumps remark.
Mr. Trump and his daughter
spoke about the issue at the Re-
publican National Convention in
July, but the candidate had not
mentioned it publicly until Tues-
day. Mr. Trump faces a potentially
record-high gender gap with
women, but pushing the proposal
so close to the election risks look-
ing slapdash on a serious topic.
The campaign staved off poten-
tial complaints from social conser-
vatives who have historically
frowned on giving incentives to
mothers to work outside the
home, by vowing to make those
caretaker roles tax-deductible.
At the speech, Mr. Trump was
joined by some female members
of Congress. Noting one applaud-
ing in the audience as he spoke,

POOR GAIN MOST
More Health Care and
Less Poverty Add to
Partisan Debate

WASHINGTON Americans
last year reaped the largest eco-
nomic gains in nearly a genera-
tion as poverty fell, health insur-
ance coverage spread and in-
comes rose sharply for house-
holds on every rung of the
economic ladder, ending years of
stagnation.
The median households in-
come in 2015 was $56,500, up 5.2
percent from the previous year
the largest single-year increase
since record-keeping began in
1967, the Census Bureau said on
Tuesday. The share of Americans
living in poverty also posted the
sharpest decline in decades.
The gains were an important
milestone for the economic expan-
sion that began in 2009. For the
first time in recent years, the
benefits of renewed prosperity
are spreading broadly. [Page B1.]
The data was released into a
heated presidential race, where
Democrats seized on the statistics
to promote Hillary Clintons can-
didacy and undercut Donald J.
Trumps dark assessment of the
nations well-being.
It has been a long slog from the
depths of the Great Recession, but

holds, said Chris G. Christopher

ics at IHS Global Insight. He said

Prostate Study Unsavory Side
Details Value Of Free Wi-Fi
Of Treatments Spurs Retreat
By DENISE GRADY
A new study offers important
information to men who are facing
difficult decisions about how to
treat prostate cancer in its early
stages, or whether to treat it at all.
Researchers followed patients
for 10 years and found no differ-
ence in death rates between men
who were picked at random to
have surgery or radiation, or to
rely on active monitoring of the
cancer, with treatment only if it
progressed.
Death rates from the cancer
were low over all: only about 1 per-
cent of patients 10 years after di-
agnosis.
But the disease was more likely
to progress and spread in the men
who opted for monitoring rather
than for early treatment. And
about half the patients in the
study who had started out being
monitored wound up having
surgery or radiation.
The patients are still being fol-
lowed, which should reveal
whether the death rate will
eventually increase for the men
assigned to monitoring.
Doctors say the findings should
help reassure men that surgery
and radiation are equally reason-
able choices in the early stages of
the disease.

A Rebounding Economy
Remains Fragile for Many
Study Shows Voters Moving Toward Trump
Where Job Losses Are the Greatest
This article is by Binyamin Appel-
baum, Patricia Cohen and Jack
Healy.
WASHINGTON The eye-
popping improvement in eco-
nomic fortunes last year raises
the question: If incomes are up
and poverty is down, why is Don-
ald J. Trumps message of eco-
nomic decay resonating so
broadly?
The answer is in plain sight.
While the economy finally is mov-
ing in the right direction, the real
incomes of most American house-
holds still are smaller than in the
late 1990s. And large swaths of the
country rural America, indus-
trial centers in the Rust Belt and
Appalachia are lagging behind.
We aint feeling too much of all
that economic growth that I heard
was going on, patting themselves
on the back, said Ralph Kingan,
the mayor of Wright, Wyo. It aint
out in the West.
That bleak reality helps to ex-
plain why the good news the Cen-
sus Bureau issued Tuesday about
a rise in household income was
greeted gleefully by economists
but is unlikely to change the com-
plexion of the presidential race.
The recent upswing is real.
While economic growth has been
modest, the expansion is now in
its eighth year. The economy has
added millions of jobs and in-
comes increased last year for
households on every rung of the
economic ladder. The economic
gains have been particularly
strong for people who live in the
nations large metropolitan areas
and for those who have college de-
grees.
Yet the repeated assertions by
Mr. Trump, the Republican nomi-
PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS/ASSOCIATED PRESS
his lingering, but still very raw,
anger with the Republican col-
leagues with whom he so often
clashed a decade ago.
There has been an expectation
that Mr. Powell, who waited until
the final weeks to endorse Barack
Obama in 2008 and 2012, would do
the same for Mrs. Clinton this
nee, that the middle class is being
decimated and the economy is in
decline ring true to his supporters.
Many Americans, even those who
are prospering, remain pes-
simistic about the fragile recov-
ery. Hillary Clinton, his Demo-
cratic rival, has been careful to ac-
knowledge the economys prob-
lems alongside its progress.
The economic dislocations of re-
cent decades may be contributing
to the polarization of the elector-
ate, according to research by Da-
vid Autor, an economist at the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology. By emphasizing the na-
tions economic troubles, the can-
didates are going where the
voters are.
In a new paper, Mr. Autor and
three co-authors found that voting
patterns had shifted most in the
parts of the country that lost the
most jobs as a result of increased
trade with China. The study,

Prime Danger
In Vote Hack:

WASHINGTON Russian
hackers would not be able to

of an election could sow doubts
about the legitimacy of the results
especially in a year in which the

Trump, has told his supporters
that the only way he will lose is if
the election is rigged, and while

Democratic opponent, Hillary

The effort has accelerated in re-
growing outcry over the surging
price of EpiPens, a chorus of
prominent voices has emerged
with a smart-sounding solution:
Add the EpiPen, the lifesaving al-
lergy treatment, to a federal list of
preventive medical services, a
move that would eliminate the
out-of-pocket costs of the product
for millions of families and
mute the protests.
Dr. Leonard Fromer, a clinical
professor of family medicine at
the University of California, Los
Angeles, just promoted the idea in
the prestigious American Journal
of Medicine. A handful of groups
are preparing a formal request to
the government. And Tonya
Winders, who runs a patient advo-
cacy nonprofit organization,
reached out late last month to cru-
cial lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
We can save lives by ensuring
access to these medications, said
Ms. Winders, chief executive of
the Allergy and Asthma Network.
A point not mentioned by these
advocates is that a big potential
beneficiary of the campaign is
Mylan, the pharmaceutical giant
behind EpiPens. The company
would be able to continue charg-
ing high prices for the product
without patients complaining
about the cost.

IN A NARROW RACE,
MANY VIEW TRUMP
AS A CHANGE AGENT
Clinton Is Seen as Steadier, but Minor
Parties Dent Her Lead, Poll Finds
By PATRICK HEALY and DALIA SUSSMAN
Most voters consider Donald J.
Trump a risky choice for presi-
dent, saying he lacks the right
temperament and values, but he is
seen as more transformative and
better at handling the economy
than Hillary Clinton, according to
the latest New York Times/CBS
News poll.
Mrs. Clinton, despite being as
disliked as Mr. Trump, is seen as a
safer option. Majorities of voters
say she has the temperament for
the job and would better handle
foreign policy.
Only 36 percent of them, howev-
er, view her as an agent of change.
That perception deeply worries
some Clinton campaign advisers,
who want the race to hinge on Mr.
Trumps character rather than
voters desire to upend the status
quo.
With less than eight weeks until
Election Day, the two candidates
are locked in a close contest in
which the challenge from third-
party candidates may make a dif-
ference. Mrs. Clinton, the Dem-
ocratic nominee, has the support
of 46 percent of likely voters na-
tionwide, compared with 44 per-
cent for Mr. Trump, the Republi-
can; that result includes voters
who said they were leaning to-
ward a candidate.
Looking more broadly at all reg-
istered voters, Mrs. Clinton holds
a wider edge, 46 to 41 percent,
driven by her support among
women, minorities and college
graduates. Getting registered but
unlikely voters to the polls in No-
vember is a large challenge for
Mrs. Clintons campaign.
Mr. Trump has an advantage
among men, whites and less edu-
cated voters.
In a four-way race, Mr. Trump
and Mrs. Clinton are tied at 42 per-
cent each. Gary Johnson, the Lib-
ertarian candidate, has the sup-

he is short of the requirement of

WASHINGTON Hillary Clin-
ton and her Democratic allies, un-
nerved by the tightening presi-
dential race, are making a major
push to dissuade disaffected
voters from backing third-party
candidates, and pouring more en-
ergy into Rust Belt states, where
Donald J. Trump is gaining
ground.
With Mrs. Clinton enduring one
of the rockiest stretches of her
second bid for the presidency, her
campaign and affiliated
Democratic groups are shifting
their focus to those voters, many
of them millennials, who recoil at
Mr. Trump, her Republican oppo-
nent, but now favor the Libertar-
ian nominee, Gary Johnson, or the
Green Party candidate, Jill Stein.
While still optimistic that the
race will turn decisively back in
Mrs. Clintons favor after the de-
bates, leading Democrats have
been alarmed by the drift of young
voters toward the third-party can-
didates.
The principal super PAC sup-
porting Mrs. Clintons candidacy,
Priorities USA Action, has con-
cluded from its polling and other
research that the reluctance to
embrace the Democratic nominee
among those who intensely dis-
like Mr. Trump is not going away
and must be confronted.
Well be launching a multi-
million-dollar digital campaign
that talks about whats at stake
and how a vote for a third-party
candidate is a vote for Donald

The message to the dozens of
Wells Fargo workers gathered for
a two-day ethics workshop in San
Diego in mid-2014 was loud and
clear: Do not create fake bank ac-
counts in the name of unsuspect-
ing clients.
Similar warnings were being
relayed from corporate headquar-

bankers in Texas, as senior man-
agement learned that some Wells

The Trenchant Playwright of a Desperate Era
By BRUCE WEBER
Edward Albee, widely consid-
ered the foremost American play-
wright of his generation, whose
psychologically astute and pierc-
ing dramas explored the con-
tentiousness of intimacy, the gap
between self-delusion and truth
and the roiling desperation be-
neath the facade of contemporary
life, died Friday at his home in
Montauk, N.Y. He was 88.
His personal assistant, Jakob
Holder, confirmed the death. Mr.
Holder said he had died after a
short illness.
Mr. Albees career began after
the death of Eugene ONeill and
after Arthur Miller and Tennessee
Williams had produced most of
their best-known plays. From
them he inherited the torch of
American drama, carrying it
through the era of Tony Kushner
and Angels in America; August
Wilson and his Pittsburgh cycle;
and into the 21st century.
He introduced himself suddenly
and with a bang, in 1959, when his
first produced play, The Zoo
Story, opened in Berlin on a dou-
ble bill with Samuel Becketts
Krapps Last Tape. A two-
handed one-act that unfolds in
real time, The Zoo Story zeroed
in on the existential terror at the
heart of Eisenhower-era compla-
cency, presenting the increasingly
menacing intrusion of a probing,
querying stranger on a man read-
ing on a Central Park bench.
When the play came to the
Provincetown Playhouse in
Greenwich Village the next year, it
helped propel the blossoming the-
ater movement that became
known as Off Broadway.

DAKAR, Senegal The
YouTube video shows a grim
scene from Ivory Coast: An un-
armed man lies on a street with
his arms up. A police officer fires a
shot that appears to strike him.
The man, a theft suspect,
squirms on the road as the officer
kicks and hovers over him, firing
his weapon several times near his
head, bullets hitting the ground
just inches away. The officer then
aims directly at the mans fore-
head and pulls the trigger, killing
him.
The video, recorded by an on-
looker using a cellphone camera,
spread widely across social media
this summer, attracting com-
ments like What is this horror.

Trump Built His Empire

As King of the Tax Break
How Developers Lawsuits and Influence
Reaped Huge Public Subsidies
By CHARLES V. BAGLI
The way Donald J. Trump tells
it, his first solo project as a real es-
tate developer, the conversion of a
faded railroad hotel on 42nd
Street into the sleek, 30-story
Grand Hyatt, was a triumph from
the very beginning.
The hotel, Mr. Trump bragged
in Trump: The Art of the Deal,
his 1987 best seller, was a hit from
the first day. Gross operating
profits now exceed $30 million a
year.
But that book, and numerous in-
terviews over the years, make lit-
tle mention of a crucial factor in
getting the hotel built: an extraor-
dinary 40-year tax break that has
cost New York City $360 million to
date in forgiven, or uncollected,
taxes, with four years still to run,
on a property that cost only $120
million to build in 1980.
The project set the pattern for

used his fathers, and, later, his
own, extensive political connec-
tions, and relied on a huge amount
of assistance from the govern-
ment and taxpayers in the form of
tax breaks, grants and incentives
to benefit the 15 buildings at the
core of his Manhattan real estate
empire.
Since then, Mr. Trump has
reaped at least $885 million in tax
breaks, grants and other subsi-
dies for luxury apartments, hotels
and office buildings in New York,
according to city tax, housing and
finance records. The subsidies
helped him lower his own costs
and sell apartments at higher
prices because of their reduced
taxes.

nominee for president, has made

CHICAGO In a spacious room on the
fourth floor of a rehabilitation hospital,
Stacey Turner talked to her only daughter,
Precious Land, as if she could understand
every word. She styled Ms. Lands hair,
massaged her hands and set out to paint
her fingernails. The only sound was the
whirring of a ventilator.
Then the phone rang, and Ms. Turner
became exuberant. After hanging up, she
leaned down to kiss her daughters face
and share the good news.
Youre coming home, baby, she told
Ms. Land, who was covered by a blue
polka-dot blanket that stretched from the
tracheotomy tube in her throat to the
padded boots on her feet. You hear that,
girl? Youre coming home.

Ms. Land was among 64 people shot in

steep rise in violence. Six of those victims
died, including a teenage girl fatally

A powerful explosion caused by
what the authorities believe was a

29 people on a crowded sidewalk
in the bustling Chelsea neighbor-
hood of Manhattan on Saturday
night, according to the authori-
ties, who later found what they de-
scribed as a second explosive de-
vice four blocks away.
Mayor Bill de Blasio called the
explosion an intentional act but
initially said there was no immedi-
ate connection to terrorism. He
cautioned that the authorities had
just begun their investigation into
the blast, which reverberated
across a city scarred by terrorism
and vigilant about attacks.
Whatever the cause, New
Yorkers will not be intimidated,
he said.
A grim Mr. de Blasio, speaking
at a news conference at the scene,
said injuries are significant. But
he said for the moment, none of
them were life-threatening.
Many of the injuries were
caused by shrapnel from the ex-
plosion, which witnesses said
seemed to have come from a side-
walk Dumpster on West 23rd
Street near the Avenue of Ameri-
cas. Images of a twisted Dump-
ster in the middle of 23rd Street
quickly proliferated on Twitter.
The explosion shattered win-

crowds running from the scene.

ward a restaurant on West 27th
Street. I felt it, like a concussive

packed in a cloth guitar case.
But they managed to avoid cap-

York State. Navigating by the
stars and using evasion tactics
gleaned from Vietnam War
movies, they pillaged peanut but-

BEIRUT, Lebanon The
United States acknowledged on
Saturday that its warplanes had
carried out an airstrike in Syria
that resulted in the deaths of
Syrian government troops. Amer-
ican military officials said the pi-
lots in the attack, in the eastern
province of Deir al-Zour, believed
they were targeting the Islamic
State.
Russias defense ministry said
the United States attack had killed
62 Syrian troops, wounded 100
more and opened the way for an
Islamic State offensive.
The episode comes at a time of
escalating tensions in Syria. A
partial cease-fire that started on
Monday continues to steadily un-
ravel after it was declared with
much fanfare by the United States
and Russia.
A statement by United States
Central Command said that the
planes stopped the attack after a
warning from Russia that the
strikes could be hitting Syrian
troops.
A senior Obama administration
official, speaking on the condition
of anonymity because the strike
was still being investigated, said
the United States had relayed its
regrets to the Syrian government
through the Russians for the un-
intentional loss of life of Syrian
forces fighting the Islamic State.

Errant Strike Bombs Built for Carnage

Impairs Effort
To Calm Syria
Killing of Troops Puts
U.S. on Defensive
This article is by David E. Sanger,
Mark Mazzetti and Ben Hubbard.
WASHINGTON The United
States accidental bombing of
Syrian troops over the weekend
has put it on the defensive, under-
cutting American efforts to re-
duce violence in the civil war and
open paths for humanitarian re-
lief.
The United States had thought
that if a deal to ease hostilities in
Syria, struck by Secretary of State
John Kerry and his Russian coun-
terpart in Geneva nine days ago,
fell apart, it would reveal Russias
duplicity in the war, in which Mos-
cow has supported the Syrian
president, Bashar al-Assad.
Instead, the mistaken bombing
American pilots thought they
were aiming at Islamic State
jihadists but instead killed more
than 60 Syrian soldiers, according
to the Russian military again
exposed the White Houses strug-
gle to put together a coherent
strategy in a multisided war. The
United States has conflicting aims
in the war, from defeating the Is-
lamic State to ultimately easing
Mr. Assad out of office.
Nearly a year after Mr. Kerry
began a diplomatic process to re-
duce the violence, and then a po-
litical accord for a transition in

Obama Makes Candidates Agree on One Thing: Infrastructure Louisiana Sharpens Its Skills
A Personal Plea By CONOR DOUGHERTY
To Black Voters at OAKLAND, Calif. The docks
the Port of Oakland are a tangle
By AMY CHOZICK
and JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
With Democratic leaders in-
creasingly worried about a lack of
passion for Hillary Clinton among
young black voters, President
Obama is rolling out a new and
more personal campaign mes-
sage: Its about me.
The president told African-
Americans this weekend he would
consider it a personal insult if
they did not vote for Mrs. Clinton,
implicitly putting his name on the
line as his former secretary of
state struggles to replicate the co-
alition that delivered him vic-
tories in 2008 and 2012.
My name may not be on the
ballot, but our progress is on the
ballot, Mr. Obama said on Satur-
day night at the Congressional
Black Caucus Foundation gala
dinner in Washington, where Mrs.
Clinton also spoke. Tolerance is
on the ballot. Democracy is on the
ballot. Justice is on the ballot.
Mr. Obama has previously
made the case for Mrs. Clinton
during campaign stops and in his
speech at the Democratic Na-
tional Convention. But his re-
marks on Saturday carried a more
personal tone, and a tacit ac-
knowledgment that he may be the
only one who can bring out the co-
alition of young, black and Latino
voters who Democrats are count-
ing on on Nov. 8.
That speech went beyond the
room. It went beyond the mo-
ment, said Donna Brazile, the in-
terim chairwoman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee. That
was the president essentially say-
ing, Dont leave it on the field.
During the Democratic primary
race, Mrs. Clinton enjoyed tre-
mendous support from African-
American voters, especially older
black women, who helped her
beat back a challenge from Sena-
tor Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

of cranes, shipping containers,

Streamlining this kind of traffic
is one of the few ideas Donald J.
Trump and Hillary Clinton agree
on.
Mrs. Clinton has said that if she
is elected president, her adminis-
tration will seek to spend $250 bil-
lion over five years on repairing
and improving the nations infra-
structure not just ports but
roads, bridges, energy systems
and high-speed broadband and
would put an additional $25 billion
toward a national infrastructure
bank to spur related business in-
vestments. Mr. Trump said he
wanted to go even bigger, saying
his administration would spend at
least twice as much as Mrs. Clin-
ton.

In Tracing Flood-Tossed Tombs
Investment, Too
Mr. Trump, taking a page from
liberal economists, said he would
fund his plan by borrowing sev-
eral hundred billion dollars, but
has offered no specifics. Mrs. Clin-
tons more detailed proposal, by
contrast, would be paid for by a
business tax overhaul aimed at
collecting additional revenue
from companies that have parked
assets abroad.
These are only plans, of course.
Either would have to get through
Congress and the inevitable acri-
mony over any proposal to raise
taxes or add to the national debt.
Still, the candidates agree-
ment, combined with growing ac-
cord among economists that in-
tious optimism that some sort of
big public works push is coming,
regardless of who is elected.
The next administration will
be in prime position to deliver on a
comprehensive infrastructure
plan, said Tom Jensen, vice presi-
dent for transportation policy at
UPS.
Infrastructure spending, unlike
many other forms of government
outlays, holds the power to give
the economy a sustained lift for
decades down the line.
First comes the addition of jobs
particularly the kinds of higher-
wage blue-collar jobs that have
been lost in recent years and
spending on products like con-
crete and steel to build new roads
and repair worn-out bridges. Af-

One law enforcement official

The assertion was an unexpect-

covering it up. And it was a sur-
prising claim because of the side

Defense lawyers have long ar-

that they directed the cover-up as
they tried to protect the gover-

Russia was probably responsi-

ENDORSING JIHAD
Dismissed as Threat by
F.B.I. in 14 After Tip
From His Father
By MARC SANTORA
and ADAM GOLDMAN
The man who the authorities
say set off powerful bombs in
Manhattan and on the Jersey
Shore over the weekend planned
the attacks for months, conducted
a dry run just days before un-
leashing his assault and took in-
spiration from Brother Osama
bin Laden and other interna-
tional terrorists, according to a
criminal complaint filed in federal
court on Tuesday.
The man, Ahmad Khan Rahami,
28, was charged with several
crimes, including use of weapons
of mass destruction and bombing
a place of pub-
lic use, and the
criminal com-
plaint against
him outlines
how close the
attacks came
to causing
death and even
more destruc-
tion.

complaint. Windows shattered

went off, and pieces of the bomb
were recovered 650 feet away.
Among the 31 victims two more

moved from her body as well as
bits of metal from an ear and wood
shards from her neck, the com-
plaint says.
The charges came on a day
when it was revealed that Mr. Ra-
hamis father told the authorities
two years ago that he feared his
son was a terrorist, prompting a
review by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation that did not find any
basis for a fuller inquiry.

When Ahmad Khan Rahami re-
turned in March 2014 from a
nearly yearlong trip to Pakistan,
he was flagged by customs offi-
cials, who pulled him out for a sec-
ondary screening. Still concerned
about his travel, they notified the
National Targeting Center, a fed-
eral agency that assesses poten-
tial threats, two law enforcement
officials said.
It was one of thousands of such
notifications every year, and a re-
port on Mr. Rahami was passed
along to the F.B.I. and other intelli-
gence agencies.
Five months later, when Mr. Ra-
hamis father told the police that
he was concerned about his son
having terrorist sympathies, fed-
eral agents again examined his
travel history. And again, despite
Mr. Rahamis now having been
flagged twice for scrutiny, the con-
cerns were not found to warrant a
deeper inquiry, one of the law en-
forcement officials said. Ahmad
Rahami was not interviewed by
federal agents.
But now, the travel history of
Mr. Rahami, who is accused of car-
rying out bombings in New York
and New Jersey last weekend, has
become a focus of investigators, a
subject made all the more urgent
by details contained in a notebook
that suggests he drew inspiration
largely from the Islamic State.
In particular, Mr. Rahami cites a
founding member of the Islamic
State who called on Muslims
around the world to take up what-
ever arms they could find and spill
the blood of nonbelievers.
The assessment of Mr. Rahami
by the F.B.I. began in August 2014,
and it once again reviewed the re-
port by the National Targeting
Center.
The center was created after
the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to func-
tion as an intelligence analysis
agency within the Department of
Homeland Security.

White House Considers Arming Kurds in Syria Clinton Views
By ERIC SCHMITT
WASHINGTON The Obama

Kurdish fighters combating the Is-

against the terrorist group but
also sharply escalate tensions be-
tween Turkey and the United

LOGAN R. CYRUS FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES

ORLANDO, Fla. Of all the at-
tacks that Hillary Clinton and her
fellow Democrats have tried
against Donald J. Trump since he
captured the Republican presi-
dential nomination, one has stood
out for its emotional force and per-
suasive power: No one, it seems,
can abide Mr. Trumps mockery
last year of a reporters physical
disability.
And as Mrs. Clinton strains to
make a more affirmative case for
her own candidacy, after a sum-
mer focused largely on hammer-
ing Mr. Trump, her campaign be-
lieves that a focus on an often-
overlooked constituency voters
with disabilities can accomplish
both goals at once.
On Wednesday, without men-
tioning the Trump episode, Mrs.
Clinton discussed her vision for an
inclusive economy with ex-
she called a group of Americans
who are, too often, invisible, over-
looked and undervalued who
have so much to offer, but are giv-
en far too few chances to prove it.

time, she said, and we have to
change it.
In keeping with a recent cam-
paign theme, she described how

ple with disabilities during her

Fund to her tenure as secretary of

CHARLOTTE, N.C. A second
night of protests set off by the po-
lice killing of a black man spiraled
into chaos and violence after
nightfall here Wednesday when a
demonstration was interrupted
by gunfire that gravely wounded a
man in the crowd. Law enforce-
ment authorities fired tear gas in a
desperate bid to restore order.
The city said on its Twitter ac-
count that the unidentified man
was on life support after what offi-
cials said was a civilian on civil-
ian confrontation. The authori-
ties provided no further details.
City officials had said earlier
that the man had been killed in the
unrest. One police officer was re-
ported slightly injured.
Gov. Pat McCrorys office said
late Wednesday that he had de-
clared an emergency and had ini-
tiated efforts to deploy the Na-
tional Guard and the state High-
way Patrol.
The shooting heightened the
tension among the demonstrators
and the police alike. City officials
were quick to say the police had
not fired any live rounds, but riot
police personnel did fire repeated
rounds of tear gas.

the largest demonstration of the
evening happened along a

Trump Backs
Stop-and-Frisk
Across the U.S.
This article is by Michael Bar-

Yamiche Alcindor.
Donald J. Trump on Wednesday
called for the broad use of the con-
tentious stop-and-frisk policing
strategy in Americas cities, em-
bracing an aggressive tactic
whose legality has been chal-
lenged and whose enforcement
has been abandoned in New York.
His support for the polarizing
crime-fighting policy which in-
volves officers questioning and
searching pedestrians collides
with his highly visible courtship of
African-Americans, who have
been disproportionately singled
out by the tactic, data show.
For Mr. Trump, the timing was
especially inauspicious: It came
as police shootings of black people
were once again drawing scrutiny
and protest.
Mr. Trump has long champi-
oned stop-and-frisk as a crime-
fighting tool in his hometown,
New York, but on Wednesday he
recommended that it be deployed
in cities across the country that
are struggling to control violence.
It was the latest twist in Mr.
Trumps awkward, and at times
counterproductive, outreach to

Mexico Case
May Deal Hit
To Presidency
Rape Inquiry Signals
Broken Rule of Law
By AZAM AHMED
MEXICO CITY International
human rights officials are de-
manding an investigation into the
brutal sexual assaults of 11 Mexi-
can women during protests a dec-
ade ago an inquiry that would
take aim at President Enrique
Pea Nieto, who was the governor
in charge at the time of the at-
tacks.
The demand is part of a multi-
year examination by the Inter-
American Commission on Human
Rights into abuses during a 2006
crackdown ordered by Mr. Pea
Nieto on San Salvador Atenco, a
town in Mexico State where
demonstrators had taken over the
central square. During the opera-
tions, which left two dead, more
than 40 women were violently de-
tained by the police, packed onto
buses and sent to jail several
hours away.
The case was brought by 11
women to the international com-
mission, which found that the po-
lice tortured them sexually. The
women a mix of merchants, stu-
dents and activists were raped,
beaten, penetrated with metal ob-
jects, robbed and humiliated,
made to sing aloud to entertain
the police. One was forced to per-
form oral sex on multiple officers.
After the women were im-
prisoned, days passed before they
were given proper medical
examinations, the commission
found.
I have not overcome it, not
even a little, said one of the wom-

Three Days of Turmoil
Test Racial Amity THEFT OCCURRED IN 2014
By RICHARD FAUSSET
and ALAN BLINDER
CHARLOTTE, N.C. This has
always been a place that has
prided itself on order, consensus
and a can-do corporate mentality
that turned a locale with no real
geographic reason to exist into
one of the hemispheres financial
dynamos.
It has also gained a reputation
for racial amity, from its nationally
recognized commitment to busing
and integrated schools in the
1970s and 80s, to the election of
Harvey Gantt in 1983 as one of the
Souths first prominent black
mayors.
But the fatal police shooting on
Tuesday of a black resident, Keith
Lamont Scott, and the protests
that have followed are among nu-
merous bumps and jolts that have
shaken Charlottes sense of itself
recently as it emerged from a suc-
cessful small city to a more com-
plicated larger one.
The tension continued on
Thursday as Mr. Scotts family
was allowed to view videos of the
shooting but officials said they
would not be made public. As pro-
testers gathered for a third night,
the mayor imposed a midnight-
to-6 a.m. curfew. [Page A22.]
After decades in which it willed
itself to big-city status, Charlotte
in the last decade has had to grap-
ple with a host of big-city prob-
lems, including a corruption scan-
dal that brought down a mayor, a
recession that shook the banking
industry to its foundations, a pre-
vious fatal police shooting of a
black man in 2013 that sent angry
residents into the streets and, this
year, a high-profile culture war
with the state legislature over an
anti-discrimination ordinance.
There has also been a growing
realization here of the depths of
poverty that have come to coexist

ON 500 MILLION
State-Sponsored Actor
Suspected in Breach,
Company Says
By NICOLE PERLROTH
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo an-
nounced on Thursday that the ac-
count information of at least 500
million users was stolen by hack-
ers two years ago, in the biggest
known intrusion of one companys
computer network.
In a statement, Yahoo said user
information including names,
email addresses, telephone num-
bers, birth dates, encrypted pass-
words and, in some cases, security
questions was compromised in
2014 by what it believed was a
state-sponsored actor.
While Yahoo did not name the
country involved, how the com-
pany discovered the hack nearly
two years after the fact offered a
glimpse at the complicated and
mysterious world of the under-
ground web.
The hack of Yahoo, still one of
the internets busiest sites with
one billion monthly users, also has
far-reaching implications for both
consumers and one of Americas
largest companies, Verizon Com-
munications, which is in the
process of acquiring Yahoo for
$4.8 billion. Yahoo Mail is one of
the oldest free email services, and
many users have built their digital
identities around it, from their
bank accounts to photo albums
and even medical information.
Changing Yahoo passwords will
be just the start for many users.
Theyll also have to comb through
other services to make sure pass-
words used on those sites arent
too similar to what they were us-
ing on Yahoo. And if they werent
doing so already, theyll have to
treat everything they receive on-
line with an abundance of suspi-
cion, in case hackers are trying to
trick them out of even more infor-
mation.

Making Connections in
a Series of Breaches DRESDEN-ESQUE SCENES

By NICOLE PERLROTH
SAN FRANCISCO In disclos-
ing that at least 500 million of its
user accounts had been hacked,
Yahoo blamed an unnamed state-
sponsored actor for the intru-
sion. While Yahoo customers were
caught by surprise, officials in
Washington were not.
For more than a year, they had
been getting warnings from
threat researchers that hackers
were targeting their personal Ya-
hoo email. Even the accounts of
their friends and family were in
the cross hairs.
These days, intelligence and se-
curity experts say, nearly anyone
can be the target of government-
sponsored hackers. By perusing
the personal accounts of people
with even the thinnest thread of a
connection to power, hackers can
unearth the occasional gold
nugget, like the low-level
Democratic operative whose pri-
vate email correspondence, pub-
lished online by hackers on Thurs-
day, detailed the movements of
Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.
and Hillary Clinton and what ap-
pears to be Michelle Obamas
passport.
This expanded hacking strat-
egy presents a new challenge:
While top-secret material is
usually kept in more secure com-
puter systems, it is hard if not
impossible to predict what in-
formation people are exchanging
in personal email accounts. And it
is even harder to know if hacking
into one persons account can set
off a cascading chain of events
that could lead foreign spies to
more useful information.
In 2014, Yahoo also investigated
attacks by Russian hackers that
targeted dozens of private Yahoo
accounts, one person with knowl-
edge of Yahoos investigation said,
but it is not yet clear whether the
same hackers were behind the
larger hack.
The Yahoo attack alone may
not make sense, but when you
combine the stolen data from Ya-

As Assad and Russians
Strike Hard, Talk of
Ground Offensive
By BEN HUBBARD
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia
Syrias war escalated abruptly on
Friday as government forces and
their Russian allies launched fero-
cious aerial assaults on opposi-
tion-held areas of Aleppo amid
threats of a big ground offensive,
while efforts at the United Nations
to revive a cease-fire appeared to
collapse.
Repeated airstrikes that oblit-
erated buildings and engulfed
neighborhoods in flames killed
about 100 people in Aleppo, the di-
vided northern Syrian city that
has epitomized the horrors of the
war, turning the brief cease-fire of
last week and hopes for humani-
tarian relief into faint memories.
The bombings knocked out run-
ning water to an estimated two
million people, the United Nations
said.
It is the worst day that weve
had for a very long time, said
James Le Mesurier, the head of
Mayday Rescue, which trains
Syrian rescue workers. They are
calling it Dresden-esque.
The bombings shook the
ground, left residents buried in de-
bris or cowering in their homes
and made streets impassable, ac-
cording to antigovernment
activists reached in Aleppo.
You dont know if you might
stay alive or not, said Modar
Shekho, a nurse at al-Dakkak hos-
pital in an opposition-held part of
the city.
There are no more roads to
walk on, said Zaher Azzaher, an
Aleppo activist contacted through
WhatsApp. Even between our
neighborhoods, the roads are full
of rubble and destruction.
The bombardment targeted

is it about Paul Bunyan?
In this age of hyperbole
when a presidential candidate
can stick to his absurd claim of
having seen thousands of peo-

collapse of the twin towers it is
no exaggeration to say that
many Minnesotans still hold a
certain gargantuan lumberjack
in reverence.
In Bemidji alone, there is the
Paul Bunyan Sub Shop, the Paul
Bunyan Mini-Storage Center, the
Paul Bunyan Communications
Company, the Paul Bunyan Play-
house, and the Paul Bunyan Mall
just off Paul Bunyan Drive.
Bemidji police officers wear
patches that feature both Paul
Bunyan and his companion, Babe
the Blue Ox.
This Bunyan abundance was
spawned in 1937 by the construc-

pose at his feet. Kodak is said to
have once declared him the
second-most-photographed at-
traction in the country, she says,
though she has yet to find any
record of this honor.
But why does he remain so
popular? It has to do, in part,
with his ubiquity, Ms. Olson says.
When I was growing up, Paul
was just always there.
Always there, and always

grants who had tried to cross the
Americas. They were cheated by
smugglers and fleeced by armed
bandits, and they suffered long
stretches of hunger.
Finally, after months of
traveling across nine interna-
tional borders, the Haitians made
it to Tijuana, where thousands of
their countrymen had already
been allowed to enter the United
States this year. All they had to do,
they thought, was wait for their
appointments with immigration
officials and they, too, would be al-
lowed on American soil.
Then, suddenly, they learned
that their journey and the hopes
of thousands of others like them
heading toward the American bor-
der had most likely come to an
abrupt, crushing end.
On Thursday, the Obama ad-
ministration, in an effort to halt an
extraordinary wave of Haitian mi-
grants streaming to the United
States, announced that it was
tightening its immigration policy
on Haitians. Those who appeared
at the American border without

sent back to Haiti.

mounting pressure from poli-

boisterous protesters who have
brought this citys main business
district to a near-standstill, the
Charlotte police chief on Saturday
released body and dashboard
camera videos of the fatal police
shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, a
black resident here.
While they do not show every-
thing that happened at the scene,
the two released videos appear to
show Mr. Scott exiting a white
sport-utility vehicle and backing
away from it with his hands at his
sides. He did not appear to be
acting in a threatening or erratic
manner, although officers could
be heard shouting, Drop the

Rifts on Race WITH PAY RISING,

And Gender
Frame Debate
A Battle Over National
Identity and Values
By PATRICK HEALY
and ALEXANDER BURNS
Hillary Clinton and Donald J.
Trump are spoiling for an extraor-
dinary clash over race and gender
that could come as early as Mon-
days debate, with both presiden-
tial candidates increasingly stak-
ing their fortunes on the cultural
issues that are convulsing the na-
tion.
Mrs. Clinton helped pressure
the police in Charlotte, N.C., to re-
lease video footage on Saturday of
an officers shooting of a black
man. She has expressed concern
that too many African-Americans
feel that their lives are disposable.
And she has repeatedly de-
nounced Mr. Trump for making
racist and sexist statements, re-
cently releasing a commercial
that shows Mr. Trump describing
a woman as a slob and another
as flat-chested.
Mr. Trump last week em-
phatically endorsed stop-and-
frisk, a contentious policing tac-
tic that is loathsome to many
African-Americans. His political
pitch to black voters, as he put it at
a rally on Saturday in Roanoke,
Va., is, What do you have to
lose? At the same event, Mr.
Trump mangled the name of the
new National Museum of African
American History and Culture
and bragged about his respect for
women, just hours after threat-
ening to invite Gennifer Flowers,
who accused Bill Clinton of having
an adulterous relationship with
her, to the debate.
In a campaign that has veered
from traditional policy arguments
toward a battle over national iden-
tity and values, Mrs. Clinton and
Mr. Trump are more sharply op-
posed over racial and gender is-
sues than any two presidential op-
ponents in decades. Rather than

stays. Repeat until a deserted city-
scape is yours.
It is a strategy that both the
Syrian government and its Rus-
sian allies have long embraced to
subdue Syrian rebels, largely by
crushing the civilian populations
that support them.
But in the past few days, as
hopes for a revived cease-fire
have disintegrated at the United
Nations, the Syrians and Russians
seem to be mobilizing to apply this
kill-all-who-resist strategy to the
most ambitious target yet: the
rebel-held sections of the divided
metropolis of Aleppo.
The killing and destruction in
Syria, of course, has stupefied
much of the world over the past
five years. But it could pale in
comparison with a military as-
sault to retake all of Aleppo, once
Syrias largest city and still home
to about two million people,
roughly 250,000 of them in rebel-
held territory.

SYRIAN CIVIL DEFENSE WHITE HELMETS, VIA ASSOCIATED PRESS
By ADAM LIPTAK
WASHINGTON In Chief Jus-
tice John G. Roberts Jr.s 11 years
on the Supreme Court, his unfold-
ing legacy has been marked by a
debate over whether his very oc-
casional liberal votes in major
cases were the acts of a statesman
devoted to his institution, a traitor
to his principles or the legal um-
pire he said he aspired to be at his
confirmation hearings.
This election could settle that
debate.
If Donald J. Trump becomes
president and follows through on
his vow to appoint a conservative
to replace Justice Antonin Scalia,
Chief Justice Roberts will contin-
ue to lead a court dominated by
five conservative justices. But the
absence of Justice Scalia, the
courts longest serving and in
some ways most dominant mem-
ber when he died in February,
means Chief Justice Roberts
could lead in a more assertive way.
Were a liberal to replace Justice
Scalia whether it was President
Obamas pick, Judge Merrick B.
Garland, or someone named by
Hillary Clinton should she win the
presidency a majority of the
justices would be Democratic
appointees for the first time in al-
most 50 years. That would open a
new chapter at the court, and

publican appointee with a gener-
ally conservative voting record, in

MILLIONS CLIMB

ECONOMIC TIPPING POINT
More and Better Jobs
Blacks and Hispanics
Gain the Most
By PATRICIA COHEN
Not that long ago, Alex Caicedo
was stuck working a series of odd
jobs and watching his 1984 Chevy
Nova cough its last breaths. He
could make $21 an hour at the
Johnny Rockets food stand at
FedEx Field when the Washing-
ton Redskins were playing, but
the work was spotty.
Today, Mr. Caicedo is an assist-
ant manager at a pizzeria in
Gaithersburg, Md., with an annual
salary of $40,000 and health bene-
fits. And he is getting ready to
move his wife and children out of
his mother-in-laws house and into
their own place. Doubling up has
been a lifesaver, Mr. Caicedo said,
but nobody just wants to move in
with their in-laws.
The Caicedos are among the 3.5
million Americans who were able
to raise their chins above the pov-
erty line last year, according to
census data released this month.
More than seven years after the
recession ended, employers are fi-
nally being compelled to reach
deeper into the pools of untapped
labor, creating more jobs, espe-
cially among retailers, restau-

ARNOLD PALMER, 1929-2016

A Dazzling Golfer Who Drew
Postwar America to the Links
By DAVE ANDERSON
Arnold Palmer, the champion
golfer whose full-bore style of
play, thrilling tournament vic-
tories and magnetic personality
inspired an American golf boom,
attracted a following known as
Arnies Army and made him one of
the most popular athletes in the
world, died on Sunday, according
to a spokesman for his business
enterprises. Palmer was 87.
The spokesman, Doc Giffin,
said the cause of death was com-
plications from heart problems.
Paul Wood, a spokesman for the
University of Pittsburgh Medical
Center, confirmed that Palmer
died Sunday evening at UPMC
Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh.
From 1958 through 1964, Palmer
was the charismatic face of pro-
fessional golf and one of its domi-
nant players. In those seven sea-
sons, he won seven major titles:
four Masters, one United States
Open and two British Opens. With
62 victories on the PGA Tour, he
ranks fifth, behind Sam Snead, Ti-
ger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Ben
Hogan. He won 93 tournaments
worldwide, including the 1954
United States Amateur.
But it was more than his scoring
and shotmaking that captivated
the sports world. It was how he
played. He did not so much navi-
gate a course as attack it. If his
swing was not classic, it was fero-
cious: He seemed to throw all 185
pounds of his muscular 5-foot-10
body at the ball. If he did not win,
he at least lost with flair.
Handsome and charming, his

Dangers Lurk for Obese Patients
When Doctors See Only Weight
By GINA KOLATA
You must lose weight, a doctor
told Sarah Bramblette, advising a
1,200-calorie-a-day diet. But Ms.
Bramblette had a basic question:
How much do I weigh?
The doctors scale went up to
350 pounds, and she was heavier
than that. If she did not know the

The doctor had no answer. So
Ms. Bramblette, 39, who lived in

POINTED ATTACKS
IN ACERBIC DEBATE
Trump Raps Clinton on Trade and Email
She Counters on His Fitness
By PATRICK HEALY and JONATHAN MARTIN
In a relentlessly antagonistic
debate, Donald J. Trump and Hil-
lary Clinton clashed over trade,
the Iraq war, his refusal to release
his tax returns and her use of a pri-
vate email server, with Mr. Trump
frequently showing impatience
and political inexperience as Mrs.
Clinton pushed him to defend his
past denigration of women and
President Obama.
Mr. Trump repeatedly inter-
rupted Mrs. Clinton and at times
talked over her throughout the 90-
minute debate, making slashing
attacks that surely pleased his Re-
publican base but may have been
off-putting to women and undecid-

DONALD J. TRUMP HILLARY CLINTON
Mr. Trumps strongest mo-
ments came early in the evening,
when he put Mrs. Clinton on the
offended by his years of questions
about whether Mr. Obama was
born in the United States, Mr.
Trump did not respond directly, in-
stead claiming credit for Mr. Oba-
mas releasing his birth certifi-
cate.
I say nothing because I was
able to get him to produce it, he
said of the birth certificate.
Mrs. Clinton also tried to drive a
wedge between Mr. Trump and
the president, whose approval rat-
ings are on the rise. Barack
Obama is a man of great dignity,
and I could tell how much it bo-
thered him, she said of the contro-
versy, in a clear appeal to voters
who deeply admire Mr. Obama but
are less enthusiastic about her.
She also broadened the issue
beyond so-called birtherism,
which she called a racist lie, and
accused Mr. Trump of having a
long record of engaging in racist
behavior. She singled out his fam-
ilys real estate company for being
sued by the Justice Department in
1973 for racial discrimination.

Christie of New Jersey was told
about the George Washington
Bridge lane closings and that
they were done to punish a mayor
who had declined to endorse him
for re-election during a Sept. 11
memorial service two days after
they began, a former ally who or-
chestrated the scheme testified in
federal court here on Tuesday.
Mr. Christie, the witness re-
called, laughed at the news.
The closings of the access lanes
in September 2013 continued for
two more days, creating a cata-
strophic traffic jam that created
gridlock for emergency vehicles,
school buses and commuters in
Fort Lee, N.J.
But Mr. Christie made no effort
to reopen the lanes and end the
gridlock.
Instead, his former ally said, the
governor was clearly delighted
and seemed to savor the scheme.
And after learning that the Fort
Lee mayors persistent and ur-
gent calls for help were being ig-
nored, Mr. Christie said in a sar-
castic tone, I imagine he wouldnt
get his calls returned.
The former ally, David Wild-
stein, who has pleaded guilty to
being the culprit behind the lane
closings, testified as prosecutors
showed a series of photographs of
him, Mr. Christie and Bill Baroni,
then the governors top staff ap-
pointee at the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey, which
runs the bridge, at a service in

rorist attacks.
The photos showed the three
men in a loose huddle outside the
governors official vehicle on a dirt
roadway between the Sept. 11 me-
morial and the World Trade Cen-
ter construction site.

ously said he did not recall the
conversation, appears engaged

Undecided Women See
Little to Like VILIFIES A MISS UNIVERSE
By TRIP GABRIEL
WEST CHESTER, Pa. Don-
ald J. Trump badly needed to
make an impression on women
like Nancy Groux in Mondays
presidential debate. She is an un-
decided Republican who hungers
for change in Washington and
thinks business experience would
be an asset in the Oval Office.
In the light of Tuesday morning,
it was clear that he had made an
impression but not a good one.
Waiting here for a dress shop to
open, Ms. Groux, 60, said that she
thought that Hillary Clinton, the
Democratic nominee, had been
presidential in the debate, but
that Mr. Trump, the Republican
nominee, had come across like a
bull in a china closet.
I truly want to like him, she
said. I keep looking for some-
thing in him. But I cant have my
children grow up and look at him
as someone to respect.
The first of three scheduled
presidential debates was the talk
of suburban West Chester on
Tuesday, and there was much to
chew over between bites of pastry
and sips of coffee on Church
Street: Mr. Trumps demeanor as
he loudly talked over Mrs. Clinton
and hectored her with interrup-
tions; her smirks and grim stares
as she looked at Mr. Trump; and
Mrs. Clintons intense denuncia-
tion of Mr. Trump over his deni-
gration of women, after he ques-
tioned her stamina in the de-
bates final moments.
Ms. Groux, who works at a
flower shop in West Chester,
faulted Mr. Trump for refusing to
release his taxes, and for what she
called a shallowness on policy that
suggested an unwillingness to
consult experts.

said. Im afraid he would just

Hillary Clinton had been wait-

And she pounced at Monday
nights debate, suggesting that
perhaps Mr. Trump was conceal-
ing that he had not been so chari-
table or was not as wealthy as he
claimed.
But another possibility she
raised that Mr. Trump had not
been paying income taxes set
off a curious response from him
that sounded a lot like an admis-
sion.
That makes me smart, Mr.
Trump said after Mrs. Clinton
brought up how he had paid no
taxes more than two decades ago.
When she suggested that Mr.
Trump was still paying no federal
taxes, and had not done so for
many years, Mr. Trump offered
another retort: It would be

Hints at New Taunts
Lift for Clinton
By ALEXANDER BURNS
and NICK CORASANITI
Donald J. Trump lashed out on
Tuesday in the aftermath of a dis-
appointing first debate with Hilla-
ry Clinton, scolding the moder-
ator, criticizing a beauty pageant
winner for her physique and rais-
ing the prospect of an all-out at-
tack on Bill Clintons marital infi-
delities in the final stretch of the
campaign.
Having worked assiduously in
recent weeks to cultivate a more
disciplined demeanor on the cam-
paign trail, Mr. Trump cast aside
that approach on Tuesday morn-
ing. As Mrs. Clinton embarked on
an ebullient campaign swing
through North Carolina, aiming to
press her newfound advantage,
Mr. Trump vented his grievances
in full public view.
Sounding weary and impatient
as he called into a Fox News pro-
gram, Mr. Trump criticized Lester
Holt, the NBC News anchor, for
asking unfair questions during
the debate Monday evening, and
speculated that someone might
have tampered with his micro-
phone. Mr. Trump repeated his
charge that Mrs. Clinton lacked
the stamina to be president, a
claim critics have described as
sexist, and suggested that in the
future he might raise Mr. Clintons
past indiscretions.
Defying conventions of political
civility, Mr. Trump leveled cutting
criticism at a beauty pageant win-
ner, Alicia Machado, whom Mrs.
Clinton held up in Monday nights

squandered, too, believe me.
For someone as wealthy as Mr.
Trump to pay no federal income
taxes would be remarkable, and it
was a startling twist. By Tuesday,
he was awash in questions and,
in some quar-
ters, outrage
about how a
self-described
billionaire
could possibly
avoid having
to pay a single
dollar to the
Trump tax man.

NO ARBITRATION, CONGRESS ALLOWS

U.S. AGENCY TELLS SAUDIS TO BE SUED
NURSING HOMES OVER 9/11 ATTACKS
DAY IN COURT RESTORED OVERRIDES OBAMA VETO

New Rule Is Latest Effort Wide Legal and Foreign

to Rein In a Private Policy Implications
System of Justice Are Seen

By JESSICA SILVER-GREENBERG This article is by Jennifer Stein-

and MICHAEL CORKERY
The federal agency that con-
trols more than $1 trillion in Medi-
care and Medicaid funding has
moved to prevent nursing homes
from forcing claims of elder abuse,
sexual harassment and even
wrongful death into the private
system of justice known as arbi-
tration.
An agency within the Health
and Human Services Department
on Wednesday issued a rule that
bars any nursing home that re-
ceives federal funding from re-
quiring that its residents resolve
any disputes in arbitration, in-
stead of court.
The rule, which would affect
nursing homes with 1.5 million
residents, promises to deliver ma-
jor new protections.
Clauses embedded in the fine
print of nursing home admissions
contracts have pushed disputes
about safety and the quality of
care out of public view.
The system has helped the
nursing home industry reduce its
legal costs, but it has stymied the
families of nursing home resi-
dents from getting justice, even in
the case of murder.
A case involving a 100-year-old
woman who was found murdered
in a nursing home, strangled by
her roommate, was initially
blocked from court. So was a case
brought by the family of a 94-year-
old woman who died at a nursing
home in Murrysville, Pa., from a
head wound. The cases were the
subject of a front-page article in

More Jobs, but Not for Everyone
Trade Deals Promised Prosperity but Delivered Anxiety
By PETER S. GOODMAN
ROTTERDAM, the Netherlands For
as long as ships have ventured across wa-
ter, laborers like Patrick Duijzers have
tied their fortunes to trade.
He is a longshoreman here at Europes
largest port, and his black Jack Daniels T-
shirt, hoop earrings and copious rings
give Mr. Duijzers the look of a bohemian
pirate. His wages put him solidly in the
Dutch middle class: He has earned
enough to buy an apartment and enjoy va-
cations to Spain.
Lately, though, Mr. Duijzers has come to
see global trade as a malevolent force. His
employer a unit of the Maersk Group,
the Danish shipping conglomerate is
locked in a fiercely competitive battle
around the world.
He sees trucking companies replacing
Dutch drivers with immigrants from
Eastern Europe. He bids farewell to older
co-workers reluctantly taking early retire-
ment as robots capture their jobs. Over
the last three decades, the ranks of his un-
ion have dwindled to about 7,000 mem-
bers, from 25,000.
More global trade is a good thing if we
get a piece of the cake, Mr. Duijzers said.
But thats the problem. Were not getting

our piece of the cake.
Far beyond the docks of the North Sea,
such laments now resonate as the sound-
track for an increasingly vigorous rejec-
tion of free trade.
For generations, libraries full of eco-
nomics textbooks have rightly promised
that global trade expands national wealth
by lowering the price of goods, lifting
wages and amplifying growth. The pow-
ers that emerged victorious from World
War II championed globalization as the
antidote to future conflicts. In Asia, Eu-
rope and North America, governments of

WASHINGTON Congress on
Wednesday voted overwhelm-
ingly to override a veto by Presi-
dent Obama for the first time,
passing into law a bill that would
allow the families of those killed in
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks
to sue Saudi Arabia for any role in
the plot.
Democrats in large numbers
joined with Republicans to deliver
a remarkable rebuke to the presi-
dent. The 97-to-1 vote in the Senate
and the 348-to-77 vote in the
House displayed the enduring
power of the Sept. 11 families in
Washington and the diminishing
influence here of the Saudi gov-
ernment.
The new law, enacted over the
fierce objections of the White
House, immediately alters the le-
gal landscape. American courts
could seize Saudi assets to pay for
any judgment obtained by the
Sept. 11 families, while Saudi offi-
cials have warned they might
need to sell off hundreds of billions
of dollars in holdings in the United
States to avoid such an outcome.
The override comes at an al-
ready freighted moment in Ameri-
cas relations with the kingdom.
The Saudi government has vig-
orously denied that it had any part
in the Sept. 11 attacks, and the com-
mission investigating the plot
found no evidence that the Saudi
government as an institution or
senior Saudi officials individually
funded Al Qaeda, the terror

Race, Jilted Love and Acquittal in Boys Killing
By JESSE McKINLEY
CANTON, N.Y. Nearly five
years after the murder of a 12-
year-old boy in New Yorks rural,
northernmost frontier set off a
mystery tinged with race, jilted
love and questionable prosecu-
tion, the man accused in the crime
was acquitted on Wednesday, as a
judge found no credible evidence
to convict.
The man, Oral Nicholas Hillary,
had been charged with second-de-
gree murder in the strangling of
Garrett Phillips, an ebullient sixth
grader who was savagely at-
tacked in his mothers apartment
in Potsdam in October 2011. Mr.
Hillary once had a romantic rela-
tionship with Garretts mother,
and the police focused on him al-
most immediately, searching his
home, car and office for evidence
that he had killed Garrett in retri-
bution for the breakup.
They produced little, if any, hard
evidence linking Mr. Hillary to the

him to suggest a far more perni-
cious explanation for the prosecu-
tion: his race. Mr. Hillary is black;
Garrett was white, as is his
mother and most of the surround-

Mr. Hillary has always pro-
claimed his innocence. And on
Wednesday morning, Judge Felix

Young Voters From 3rd Parties Drill Trump
For Round 2
By JEREMY W. PETERS and YAMICHE ALCINDOR
With just six weeks to go until
Election Day, younger voters are
shunning the two major political
parties on a scale not seen since
Ross Perots third-party bid for
the presidency in 1992, a striking
swing in public opinion that is slic-
ing into Hillary Clintons thin mar-
gin for error.
Though young people are noto-
riously fickle about showing up at
the polls, they are a growing and
potentially pivotal bloc of voters.
Millennials now outnumber baby
boomers as the countrys largest
generation. And while they may
be more predisposed than other
groups to vote Democratic, they
are not moving toward the party
and its nominee as quickly and
predictably as they have in past
elections.

eral events on Wednesday aimed
at millennials, underscoring the
urgency with which she and her
team are working to lock down the
group: about 75 million Ameri-
cans. Mrs. Clinton traveled to
New Hampshire with her former
primary rival, Senator Bernie
Sanders of Vermont, for a rally
with college students.
The first lady, Michelle Obama,
spent the day visiting campuses in
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. She
had blunt words for anyone think-
ing about voting for a third party.
If you vote for someone other
than Hillary, or if you dont vote at
all, she said, then you are help-

Campaign advisers to Donald J.
Trump, concerned that his focus
and objectives had dissolved dur-
ing the first presidential debate on
Monday, plan to more rigorously
prepare him for his next face-off
with Hillary Clinton. They intend
to drill the Republican nominee on
crucial answers, facts and
counterattacks, and coach him on
ways to whack Mrs. Clinton on is-
sues even if he is not asked about
them.
Whether he is open to practic-
ing meticulously is a major con-
cern, however, according to some
of these advisers and others close
to Mr. Trump.
While analysts from both par-
ties and several focus groups de-
clared Mrs. Clinton the winner of
the debate, Mr. Trump tried to
claim that title for himself, citing
unscientific online surveys, and
told his advisers that he believed
he had done well in the first half-
hour of the 90-minute event.
A delicate approach to the can-
didate is now in the works. Before
his advisers can shape Mr.
Trumps performance for the next
debate, on Oct. 9 in St. Louis, they
need to convince him that he can
do better than he did in the first
one and that only a disciplined,
strategic attack can damage Mrs.
Clinton with voters. Advisers said
that Mr. Trump had been prepped
to handle Mrs. Clintons attacks

By JONATHAN MARTIN
ATHENS, Ohio After dec-

that closely mirrored the mood
and makeup of the country, Ohio is
suddenly fading in importance
this year.
Hillary Clinton has not been to
the state since Labor Day, and her
aides said Thursday that she
would not be back until next week,
after a monthlong absence, effec-
tively acknowledging how diffi-
cult they think it will be to defeat
Donald J. Trump here. Ohio has
not fallen into step with the demo-
graphic changes transforming the
United States, growing older,
whiter and less educated than the
nation at large.
And the two parties have made
strikingly different wagers about
how to win the White House in this
election: Mr. Trump, the Republi-

With families of Sept. 11 victims

Ex-Marine Says Superiors Hid Abuse With Lies
By DAVE PHILIPPS
PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. In

punches, kicks and choking by
drill instructors in the Third Re-

repeatedly bashed his head
against a doorway, he kept quiet
and acted as if it were no big deal.
But what he eventually could not
take was the lying that covered up
the abuse.

They had built it over 13 years into

and framing service. They even
rented out the chapel, with its

But three years ago, the
Odgaards refused to rent the

their religious beliefs about mar-

controversy, regular customers

Too Big to Fail,
But Is Bailout
On the Table?
Deutsche Banks Woes
Put Market on Edge
By PETER S. GOODMAN
LONDON Germanys largest
bank appears in danger, sending
stock markets worldwide on a
wild ride. Yet the biggest source of
worry is less about its finances
than a vast tangle of unknowns
not least, whether Europe can
muster the will to mount a rescue
in the event of an emergency.
In short, fears that Europe lacks
the cohesion to avoid a financial
crisis may be enhancing the
threat of one.
The immediate source of alarm
is the health of Deutsche Bank,
whose vast and sprawling opera-
tions are entangled with the fates
of investment houses from Tokyo
to London to New York.
Deutsche is staring at a multi-
billion-dollar fine from the Justice
Department for its enthusiastic
participation in Wall Streets festi-
val of toxic mortgage products in
the years leading up to financial
crisis of 2008. Given Deutsches

benchmark, claims of trades that
violated Russian sanctions and a
generalized sense of confusion
about its mission the American
pursuit of a stiff penalty comes at
an inopportune time.
It heightens the sense that
Deutsche whose shares have
lost more than half their value this
year needs to secure additional
investment, lest it leave itself vul-
nerable to some new crisis.
The biggest worries center on
what happens if Deutsche falls
apart to the point that it threatens
the globe with a financial shock
and whether new rules and buf-
fers put in place since the last cri-
sis will keep the pain from spread-
ing.
Regulations that took effect this
year in the European Union
standardize how member coun-
tries are supposed to handle the
potential implosion of a large fi-
nancial institution. Banks, too,
have put aside more money to
deal with potential losses.

World Leaders Gather to Mourn Peres, and Possibly His Dream
By PETER BAKER
JERUSALEM From across
the ocean and across the Green
Line, they came on Friday to the
mountaintop sanctuary of Mount
Herzl to bid farewell to Shimon
Peres, marking what one called
the end of the era of giants. But
the question of the moment was
whether it was a funeral for a man
or for his dream.
Twenty-three years after Mr.
Peres helped negotiate the Oslo
Accords heralding peace between
Israelis and Palestinians, Presi-
dent Obama and other leaders
from around the world paid
homage to his tenacious search
for reconciliation. And yet the me-
morial service made clear how
elusive that idea has actually be-
come in this part of the world.
The funeral brought together
Prime Minister Benjamin Netan-
yahu of Israel and President Mah-
moud Abbas of the Palestinian Au-
thority, something no mediator
has been able to do in recent
years, and the men shook hands
and exchanged pleasantries. But
the encounter went no further,
and the momentary pause in their
war of words seemed unlikely to
last beyond the interment.
In his eulogy, Mr. Netanyahu
welcomed by name many of the
foreign figures in attendance
without mentioning Mr. Abbas. It

A Glimpse Into the Syrian Crisis
Extremist Imam Tests F.B.I. and the Laws Limits At All Hours,
By SCOTT SHANE

WASHINGTON For more

at mosques in Annapolis and out-

President Obama made a much-

But in the last two years, Imam

New Jersey to Raise Gas Tax 23

has battled with Democratic lead-

But on Friday, a day after a fatal

of the state-run railroad, Mr.
Christie, a Republican, finally
gave way by accepting the first
tax increase during his seven

They stayed up late studying
for civics tests. They went to

During the last year, nearly a
million legal immigrants applied
to become American citizens,
many of them hoping to take the
oath of citizenship in time to cast
their first ballots on Nov. 8 in a
presidential race where immigra-
tion has been fiercely debated.
But as the number of aspiring
citizens grew this year, the back-
log at the federal agency that ap-
proves naturalizations swelled.
With the agency now reporting
that it takes up to seven months to
complete the process, Obama ad-

Trumps 1995 Tax Records

Claim a $916 Million Loss
Deduction Means He Could Have Avoided
Federal Income Taxes for 18 Years
This article is by David Barstow,
Susanne Craig, Russ Buettner and
Megan Twohey.
Donald J. Trump declared a
$916 million loss on his 1995 in-
come tax returns, a tax deduction
so substantial it could have al-
lowed him to legally avoid paying
any federal income taxes for up to
18 years, records obtained by The
New York Times show.
The 1995 tax records, never be-
fore disclosed, reveal the extraor-
dinary tax benefits that Mr.
Trump, the Republican presiden-
tial nominee, derived from the fi-
nancial wreckage he left behind in
the early 1990s through misman-
agement of three Atlantic City
casinos, his ill-fated foray into the
airline business and his ill-timed
purchase of the Plaza Hotel in
Manhattan.

Mr. Trump declined to comment
on the documents. Instead, the
campaign released a statement
that neither challenged nor con-
firmed the $916 million loss.
Mr. Trump is a highly-skilled
businessman who has a fiduciary
responsibility to his business, his
family and his employees to pay
no more tax than legally re-

being said, Mr. Trump has paid

taxes, real estate taxes, city taxes,

As Drug Laws Ease, Jamaica Sees Gold in Crop It Long Shunned
By AZAM AHMED

hand-eye coordination and more.
Yet in recent years, in the
never-ending search for an edge,
teams have opened their eyes to
sleep as a priority, backed up by
science that increasingly points to
its importance for physical and
mental health. A solid night in the
sack particularly helps players re-
cover from the inevitable wear
and tear of a taxing season.
Several other teams besides the

Asian-Americans Drift Left
Is Cause for Republican Worry
By JEREMY W. PETERS
LAS VEGAS On paper at
least, Asian-Americans seem like
perfect Republicans. Many are
small-business owners. Their
communities tend to be more
culturally conservative. And a lot
of them, having fled oppressive
Communist governments, found
comfort in the Republican Partys
aggressive anti-Communist poli-
cies.
But in what could be a signifi-
cant realignment of political alle-
giance, Asian-Americans are
identifying as Democrats at a
quicker pace than any other racial
group. And many Republicans
worry this election will only accel-
erate that trend, damaging their
party for years to come with what
is now the fastest-growing minor-
ity in the country.
The Republican presidential
nominee, Donald J. Trump, is not
helping. His attacks on the Chi-
nese which he has sometimes
delivered in a crude, mocking ac-
cent are a feature of his populist
campaign. He has suggested cut-
ting off immigration from the Phil-
ippines, citing fears that the long-
time American ally poses the
same national security threat as
countries like Syria and Af-
ghanistan.
Mr. Trumps talk of deporting
millions of undocumented immi-
grants has also stirred up painful
memories among a group that has
been singled out under American
law before, whether by the Chi-
nese Exclusion Act, which barred
the immigration of Chinese labor-
ers until 1943, or by the intern-
ment of Japanese-Americans dur-
ing World War II.
Its like were going back in
time, said Marc Matsuo of Las
Vegas, who grew up in Hawaii
with parents of Japanese ancestry
and recalled how his family used
to feel uncomfortable expressing
their heritage, to the point they
would not speak Japanese. He
now helps register Asian-Ameri-
cans to vote. I was always
brought up that you dont talk
about religion, you dont talk
about politics. Not anymore.

Staten Island NEXT PRESIDENT

Confronts Rise
In Overdoses
A Story of Struggle
in an Addicts Diary
By MICHAEL WILSON
The man entered the Red Robin
restaurant inside the Staten Is-
land Mall two minutes after 6 p.m.
on a Friday. He walked straight
past the booths and tables and en-
tered the mens room.
A manager would find him
there seven minutes later, lying on
the floor with a needle and foam-
ing at the mouth.
His name was Jonathan Ayers,
27, and he was declared dead
within the hour that evening, Sept.
9, of an apparent heroin overdose.
Mr. Ayerss fatal overdose was
the latest addition to a body count
without precedent. So far in 2016,
there have been 71 deaths that ap-
pear to be from heroin overdoses
on the island, the Richmond
County district attorneys office
said, already on pace to more than
double the record set two years
ago. Nine people died of heroin
overdoses in a recent 10-day peri-
od, prosecutors said.
Mr. Ayers left behind an ac-
count of his addiction. After his
death, his mother, Ann Ayers, and
brother, Christopher, found a jour-
nal he had kept for the last couple
of years that chronicled the lies he
had told them to conceal his
continued dependence on drugs.
I lie mostly I think because I
am scared of being judged for the
truth, Mr. Ayers wrote in May
2015. This journal is where I tell
the truth. Through the journal,
his family would come to know the
son and brother they had lost, and
see the thoughts of a heroin ad-
dict.
Staten Island has been home to
a heroin epidemic for several
years, and it rivals the Bronx for
the highest rate of deaths from
heroin overdoses in New York
City. The drug arrived to meet de-
mand for opiates and fill the void
left by law enforcement crack-
downs on prescription pills, which
were widely abused there.
Heroin, much cheaper than
pills, became the drug of choice
for the mostly white, middle-class
neighborhoods on the islands
south end. It was brought in bulk
from other boroughs and New Jer-
sey, and easily found on the island
as an attractive diversion for
bored and restless young people
creating a crisis for law enforce-
ment, treatment programs and
the parents of addicts, who have
seen too many of their children
end up in jail or the morgue.
Since 2010, the number of ar-
rests on the island in which heroin
or pills were found on the suspect
has increased tenfold, to over
1,000 last year. Deaths attributed
to heroin overdoses have also ris-

Campaign Struggles to Move Past Tax Revelation
By MAGGIE HABERMAN
and NICHOLAS FANDOS
Donald J. Trump and his allies
struggled on Sunday to move be-
yond the revelation that he might
have been able to legally avoid
nearly two decades of federal in-
come taxation, putting new pres-
sure on the candidate just as he
tries to recover from a lackluster
debate performance.
Mr. Trumps campaign lurched
between refusing to acknowledge
that the 1995 tax records, portions
of which were published on Satur-
day night by The New York Times,
were bona fide, to insisting that
his not having paid taxes was evi-
dence of his unrivaled business
ward the rich in its statutory
framework, its exceptions, and in
how it is enforced and adminis-
try clubs and golf courses
even as he was using the tax
code to avoid paying any federal
income tax.
Its hard to imagine a starker
contrast with the vast number of
Americans who struggle to both
pay taxes and make ends meet,
or a more damning indictment of
a tax code that makes that possi-
ble.
If it wasnt clear before, it is
now: The tax code is tilted to-
prowess.
The Times report, based on doc-
uments obtained by the newspa-
per, showed that Mr. Trump, the
Republican nominee, declared a
$916 million loss on his 1995 in-
come tax returns, which could
have allowed him to legally avoid
paying any federal income taxes
for up to 18 years.
At a rally in Lancaster County,
Pa., that began shortly before the
article was published, Mr. Trump
seemed jarred by the pending rev-
elation, shifting from topic to
topic; mocking his Democratic ri-
val, Hillary Clinton, for having
had pneumonia; and insinuating
that she might have cheated on
her husband.
The performance capped a

interests and their lobbyists.

Troubles in Insurance
Marketplaces Draw

WASHINGTON The fierce
struggle to enact and carry out the

fighting for a health care system
to insure all Americans. Instead,
the laws troubles could make it
just a way station on the road to
another, more stable health care
system, the shape of which could
be determined on Election Day.
Seeing a lack of competition in
many of the health laws online in-
surance marketplaces, Hillary
Clinton, President Obama and
much of the Democratic Party are
calling for more government, not
less.
The departing president, the
woman who seeks to replace him
and nearly one-third of the Senate
have endorsed a new govern-
ment-sponsored health plan, the
so-called public option, to give
consumers an additional choice. A
significant number of Democrats,

could take the form of Medicare
for all.
Donald J. Trump and Republi-
cans in Congress would go in the
direction of less government, re-
ducing federal regulation and re-
quirements so insurance would
cost less and no-frills options
could proliferate. Mr. Trump
would, for example, encourage
greater use of health savings ac-
counts, allow insurance policies to
be purchased across state lines
and let people take tax deductions
for insurance premium payments.
In such divergent proposals lies
an emerging truth: Mr. Obamas
signature domestic achievement
will almost certainly have to
change to survive. The two parties
agree that for too many people,
health plans in the individual in-
surance market are still too ex-
pensive and inaccessible.
Employer markets are fairly
stable, but the individual insur-
ance market does not feel stable at
all, said Janet S. Trautwein, the
chief executive of the National As-

100,000 agents and brokers who
specialize in health insurance. In

Her Husband Accused of Affairs, a Defiant Clinton Fought Back

By MEGAN TWOHEY
Hillary Clinton was campaign-
ing for her husband in January
1992 when she learned of the
races newest flare-up: Gennifer
Flowers had just released tapes of
phone calls with Bill Clinton to
back up her claim they had had an
affair.
Other candidates had been
driven out of races by accusations
of infidelity. But now, at a cold,
dark airfield in South Dakota,
Mrs. Clinton was questioning
campaign aides by phone and
vowing to fight back on behalf of
her husband.
Whos tracking down all the re-
search on Gennifer? she asked,
according to a journalist traveling
with her at the time.

tons political aspirations alive.
Last week, Donald J. Trump, the
Republican presidential nominee,
criticized Mrs. Clinton over Mr.
Clintons affairs and her response
to them, and said he might talk
more about the issue in the final
weeks before the election.
That could be a treacherous
strategy for Mr. Trump, given his
own past infidelity and question-
able treatment of women. Many
voters, particularly women, might
see Mrs. Clinton being blamed for
her husbands conduct.
It could also remind voters of a
searing period in American his-
tory, and in Mrs. Clintons life.
Confronting a spouses unfaith-
fulness is painful under any cir-
cumstance. For Mrs. Clinton, it
happened repeatedly and in the
most public of ways, unfolding at
the dawn of the 24/7 news cycle,
and later in impeachment pro-
ceedings that convulsed the na-
tion.

Business Decisions in 80s SYRIA TALKS END,

Nearly Led Trump to Ruin
Tax Documents and Public Records Show
How Debt Fueled Enormous Losses
By RUSS BUETTNER and CHARLES V. BAGLI
Abraham Wallach thought he
had scored a major career break
when Donald J. Trump hired him
in 1990 for a senior executive role.
Based on Mr. Trumps boasting
and gaudy lifestyle, Mr. Wallach
imagined he would soon be lead-
ing impressive construction
projects around the globe.
Instead, he found an array of
failing enterprises, he recalled on
Monday. Many top executives had
departed the Trump Organization,
and those who remained were of-
ten huddled in closed-door meet-
ings with bankers and whispering
worriedly among themselves.
Everyone was very glum, Mr.
Wallach said. It was like getting
on the Titanic just before the wom-
en and children were moved to the
lifeboats.
That year, he would later learn,
was the beginning of Mr. Trumps
reckoning with a decade of rapid,
debt-fueled expansion. The eclec-
tic empire Mr. Trump had built
with leverage from his fathers
brick-and-mortar fortune began
to fail, generating enormous
losses and bringing him to the
brink of personal bankruptcy.

No Painless Way to Undo Nafta,
And Few Rewards for the Trouble
By NEIL IRWIN
When you buy an American-
made car, you are probably buy-
ing a car that has an immensely
complicated mix of components
that were also made in Mexico
and Canada. The same is true for
many electronics, and advanced
textiles like carpeting. The beef in
your grocery store might be from
a cow that was fattened and
slaughtered in the United States,
but that was very likely born
across the border in Mexico.
That is the world that has
evolved in the almost 23 years
since the North American Free
Trade Agreement was enacted.
These deep economic intercon-
nections show why trying to un-

A Haitian girl watching as her home in Tabarre was evacuated
by the authorities on Monday ahead of a dangerous storm.
The full magnitude of the finan-

when The New York Times pub-
lished portions of Mr. Trumps
1995 tax records that showed busi-
ness losses of $916 million, creat-
ing a tax deduction that could
have allowed him to legally avoid
paying any federal income taxes
for up to 18 years.
For a single businessman to de-
clare losses approaching $1 billion
is so extraordinary that it caused
several accountants and lawyers
consulted by The Times to blanch.
The precise breakdown of that fig-
ure specifically which Trump
enterprises were responsible for
how much remains murky, hid-
den in a schedule attached to Mr.
Trumps returns that has not be-
come public. But a review of pub-
lic records and interviews with
those who were present makes
clear that it was decisions Mr.
Trump made at the helm of his

But like other big cities across

A DOWNWARD SPIRAL
Aleppo Attacks Flare
Putin Quits a Nuclear
Weapons Pact
By MICHAEL R. GORDON
and ANDREW E. KRAMER
WASHINGTON The United
States on Monday suspended
talks with Russia over the pro-
tracted conflict in Syria, accusing
the Kremlin of joining with the
Syrian Air Force in carrying out a
brutal bombing campaign against
the besieged city of Aleppo.
Anticipating the end of the talks
after repeated warnings from
American officials, President
Vladimir V. Putin of Russia re-
sponded by withdrawing from a
landmark arms control agree-
ment that calls for each side to dis-
pose of 34 tons of plutonium, a ma-
terial used in nuclear weapons.
The developments signaled the
further deterioration of relations
between the United States and
Russia, which are now bitterly at
odds over Syria, Ukraine and
other issues.
Cooperation over Syria was
the Obama administrations last
and best shot for arresting the
downward spiral in the bilateral
relationship with Russia, said
Andrew S. Weiss, a former White
House expert on Russia who is

tional Peace. The mistrust and

by the Russian leadership is real

design student, is the kind of
young urbanite who Colombian
leaders had hoped would support
a peace deal with the countrys
largest rebel group.
But when she went to vote this
weekend, she could not get past a
searing question: How could she
allow the rebels, who had terror-
ized her family when she was an
infant, to rejoin society without
facing prosecution?
There were so many benefits
for the people who hurt this coun-
try so much, Ms. Solano said of
the peace deal. She joined nearly
every voter in her 50-member
family in rejecting it in a referen-
dum on Sunday.
The narrow defeat of the deal
shocked Latin America, where the
end of Colombias 52-year war
with the Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia, or FARC, had
seemed all but guaranteed.
Months of polling had predicted
a wide margin of victory for the
agreement, creating such a sense
of confidence that the government
had already held a public signing
in front of world leaders before the
vote took place.

An Underground Railroad in France, Moving African Migrants
By ADAM NOSSITER
BREIL-SUR-ROYA, France
On a recent sunny Sunday, about a
dozen young men, women and
children sat around a wooden ta-
ble belonging to Cdric Herrou, a
37-year-old farmer, laughing
about who would cook that night.
It could have been any family-like
gathering in the pastoral setting
high in the French Alps, just above
the border with Italy. But it was
not.
A local hero to some, a scofflaw
to others, Mr. Herrou, who was ar-
rested in August, had helped his
guests all migrants from Africa
to cross the border into France
illegally. He planned to sneak
them to a train station so they
could continue their journey.
Some might stay in France, but
most wanted to get to Britain or
Germany.
Early the next morning, cool
and foggy in the mountains, Mr.
Herrou and some volunteers in his
underground railroad traded tips
on which Riviera train station
would be best to slip through.
Antibes? Cannes? Have you

Defying Script, Chinese Leader May Delay Call on a Successor
By CHRIS BUCKLEY
BEIJING The Chinese presi-
dent, Xi Jinping, appears pre-
pared to defy the Communist Par-
tys established script for trans-
ferring power and delay the desig-
nation of his successor until after
a party congress next year, unset-
tling the party elite and stirring
speculation that he wants to pro-
long his tenure.
The delay would buy Mr. Xi
more time to promote and test fa-
vored candidates, and prevent his
influence from ebbing away to a
leader-in-waiting, experts and po-
litical insiders said. But the price
could be years of friction while a
pack of aspiring cadres vie for the
top job, as well as unnerving un-
certainty over whether Mr. Xi

usual two terms as party leader.

suggestion that he intends to
break with precedent and begin
his second term without a proba-
ble successor is magnifying un-
certainties about who will rise and
who will fall in the expected
shake-up, including questions
about the fate of the premier, Li
Keqiang.
Its a very delicate issue, said
a member of the party establish-
ment who regularly speaks with
senior officials. He spoke on the
condition of anonymity because of
the partys ban on discussing sen-
sitive internal decisions.
I dont think Xi wants to decide
until the people he favors have

he said.
In interviews, three other party
insiders close to senior officials

peared likely to delay picking a
successor.

shaping up as a defining test of the
ders they keep coming. The

OF THEIR TICKETS
NO. 2S ON THE ATTACK
Sharp Exchanges as the
Candidates for Vice
President Debate
By JONATHAN MARTIN
and PATRICK HEALY
FARMVILLE, Va. Senator
Tim Kaine and Gov. Mike Pence
repeatedly threw each other on
the defensive over their running
mates policies and character at
the vice-presidential debate on
Tuesday night, with Mr. Pence
making little effort to directly re-
but the near-constant attacks on
Donald J. Trumps fitness for the
presidency.
Mr. Kaine was far more ag-
gressive from the start, answer-
ing a question about his own quali-
fications with lengthy praise for
Hillary Clinton and a declaration
that the thought of Donald
Trump as commander in chief
scares us to death. Mr. Kaine,
trained as a litigator, frequently
used this tactic of turning ques-
tions about himself and Mrs. Clin-
ton into opportunities to extol his
running mate and assail Mr.
Trump.
I cant imagine how Governor
Pence can defend the insult-driv-
en, me-first style of Donald
Trump, Mr. Kaine said after not-
ing that Mr. Trump had once de-
questioned President Obamas cit-
izenship.
Mr. Pence, more formal and
mild-mannered than his rival,
seemed frustrated by the fusillade
coming from Mr. Kaine. He often
looked down and shook his head
slightly in the face of the attacks
on Mr. Trump, while Mr. Kaine
tended to interrupt and talk over
Mr. Pence.
But at other points he showed a
deftness that Mr. Trump often

Afghans Back Rattles G.O.P.

WASHINGTON The Obama
By ROD NORDLAND
and MUJIB MASHAL
BRUSSELS The European
Union and Afghanistan an-
nounced a deal on Wednesday
that would send tens of thousands
of Afghan migrants who had
reached Europe back home to an
increasingly hazardous war zone.
The agreement is the most spe-
cific effort yet by Europe to divert
or reverse a wave of hundreds of
thousands of migrants from war-
torn countries including Af-
ghanistan and Syria. But unlike a
major agreement with Turkey this
year to have that country host
more Syrian refugees, the new
deal as worded would forcibly
send Afghans whose asylum ap-
plications were rejected directly
back to an intensifying war that
has taken a severe toll on civilian
life seemingly at odds with in-
ternational conventions on refu-
gees.
The E.U. and the government
of Afghanistan intend to cooper-
ate closely in order to organize the
dignified, safe and orderly return
of Afghan nationals to Af-
ghanistan who do not fulfill the
conditions to stay in the E.U., the
agreement read.
The repatriation deal was an-
nounced alongside an interna-
tional conference in which gov-
ernments pledged $3.75 billion in
annual development aid to Af-
ghanistan over the next four
years. But few of the keynote
speakers even hinted at the
worsening security in the country
in recent weeks, and none publicly
discussed the repatriation deal,
which was reportedly signed on
Sunday.
As speakers at the conference
praised improvements in Af-
ghanistan, the very idea that even
important Afghan cities could be
secured was under direct assault.

who were fighting for a third day

Amid Rising Drug Deaths, Silver Lining for Transplant Patients
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE
BOSTON The surge in
deaths from drug overdoses has
become an unexpected lifeline for
people waiting for organ trans-
plants, turning tragedy for some
into salvation for others.
As more people die from over-
doses than ever before, their or-
gans donated in advance by
them or after the fact by their fam-
ilies are saving lives of people
who might otherwise die waiting
for a transplant.
When Dave and Roxanne Male-
ham got the call in June that they
had long dreaded that their son,
Matt, 38, was on life support after
overdosing on heroin and fentanyl
they talked about donating his
organs.
We were trying to think if we
could draw any good out of this
tragedy, said Mr. Maleham, pas-
tor at Union Congregational
Church in Union, N.H.
Matt, as it turned out, had al-
ready registered as a donor on his
drivers license, which came as an
enormous relief, almost a gift, to
his parents. His donation re-
minded them of their sons gener-
osity and good-heartedness, qual-
ities that his addiction had some-
times obscured.

ARREST SUGGESTS
ANOTHER BREACH
OF N.S.A. SECRETS
RAID ON EX-CONTRACTOR
Trove of Information Is
Found in a Case That
Echoes Snowdens
This article is by Jo Becker, Adam
Goldman, Michael S. Schmidt and
Matt Apuzzo.
WASHINGTON The F.B.I.
secretly arrested a former Na-
tional Security Agency contractor
in August and, according to law
enforcement officials, is investi-
gating whether he stole and dis-
closed highly classified computer
code developed by the agency to
hack into the networks of foreign
governments.
The arrest raises the embar-
rassing prospect that for the sec-
ond time in three years, a contrac-
tor for the consulting company
Booz Allen Hamilton managed to
steal highly damaging secret in-
formation while working for the
N.S.A. In 2013, Edward J. Snow-
den, who was also a Booz Allen
contractor, took a vast trove of
documents from the agency that
were later passed to journalists,
exposing surveillance programs
in the United States and abroad.
The contractor was identified
as Harold T. Martin III of Glen
Burnie, Md., according to a crimi-
nal complaint filed in late August
and unsealed Wednesday. Mr.
Martin, who at the time of his ar-
rest was working as a contractor
for the Defense Department after
leaving the N.S.A., was charged
with theft of government property
and the unauthorized removal or
retention of classified documents.
Mr. Martin, 51, was arrested
during an F.B.I. raid on his home
on Aug. 27. A neighbor, Murray
Bennett, said in a telephone inter-
view on Wednesday that two doz-
en F.B.I. agents wearing military-
style uniforms and armed with
long guns stormed the house, and
later escorted Mr. Martin out in
handcuffs.
According to court documents,
the F.B.I. discovered thousands of
pages of documents and dozens of
computers or other electronic de-
vices at his home and in his car, a
large amount of it classified. The
digital media contained many
terabytes of information, accord-

Hoarder, Yes, HURRICANE AIMS

But a Leaker?
U.S. Isnt Sure
Doubts on Suspect Who
Took N.S.A. Material
By SCOTT SHANE
and DAVID E. SANGER
WASHINGTON On a half-
dozen occasions in the last three
years, top-secret information has
leaked from the National Security
Agency and appeared on the web.
Government analysts concluded
with alarm that the documents, in-
cluding intercepted communica-
tions from Europe and Japan and
the computer code for the N.S.A.s
hacking tools, had not come from
the huge collection taken by Ed-
ward J. Snowden.
That meant there was at least
one more leaker still at large, and
when F.B.I. agents found in Au-
gust that a former agency con-
tractor had been taking home top-
secret material, they thought they
might have the culprit.
Now they are not so sure.
Harold T. Martin III, the con-
tractor arrested by the F.B.I. on
Aug. 27, brazenly violated basic
security rules, taking home a stag-
gering quantity of highly classi-
fied material. He had been doing
this undetected, agency officials
were chagrined to learn, since the
late 1990s. But, officials say, they
have not been able to definitively
connect Mr. Martin, 51, a Navy vet-
eran, to the leaked documents.
Elizabeth Martin, his former
wife, a former Maryland police of-
ficer who runs a polygraph firm in
Australia, said that although she
had not seen him since 2009, she
would be shocked if he had inten-
tionally passed on or published
classified material.
He was one of the most patriot-
ic people I knew, Ms. Martin said
in a telephone interview. More
likely, she said, he got in the habit
of taking material home to keep
working at night.
He brought work home all the

TITUSVILLE, Fla. As Hurri-
cane Matthew barreled toward
Central Florida, the most power-
ful storm to hit the region in
decades, millions of people fled in-
land or barricaded themselves in-
side their homes on Thursday to
escape what could be dangerous
flooding, widespread blackouts
and 140-mile-per-hour wind capa-
ble of turning debris into deadly
missiles.
The storm had already left a ter-
rifying wake in Haiti, where the
death toll, still preliminary, ex-
ceeded 280. Hundreds were in-
jured.
With the hurricane now bearing
down on Florida, there were
mileslong traffic jams of residents
struggling to get to safety after
Gov. Rick Scott ordered the evacu-
ation of low-lying areas that are
home to 1.5 million people. Some
forecast models suggested late
Thursday that the storm had
moved slightly eastward, raising
hopes that Florida would be
spared a direct strike.
Still, the government warned
that the hurricane was likely to
produce devastating impacts,
and anxiety grew throughout the
day and night. Local officials dis-
tributed leaflets and pounded on
doors at mobile home parks,
telling residents that their homes
were not safe, and the state
opened more than 80 shelters with
food and water, capable of taking
in tens of thousands of people.
Several hours after the evacua-
tion order, the governor was still

HUTCHINSON ISLAND, Fla.
As Hurricane Matthew doused
the north Florida coast with
floodwaters, high winds and rain,
the mood across much of the state
shifted from alarm to relief on Fri-
day as the worst of the storm
passed by without the cata-
strophic effects forecasters had
predicted and some residents be-
gan to return to areas that had
been evacuated.
The hurricane continued to
churn its way northward just off-
shore. For Georgia and the Car-
olinas, the worst still lay ahead,
with the storm expected to threat-
en coastal cities like Savannah,
Ga.; Charleston, S.C.; and Wilm-
ington, N.C. And in Haiti, which
suffered a disastrous strike by
Matthew on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, the toll continued to mount as
residents dug out and communi-
cations and travel were restored
to areas that had been cut off.
Reuters estimated that more than
800 people in Haiti had been
killed.
But for many Floridians, ex-
posed to days of alerts that this
might turn out to be the most dam-
aging storm to hit the state since
Hurricane Andrew in 1992, there
was a sense of having dodged a
freight train.
Matthew churned through the
Bahamas on Thursday as a Cate-
gory 4 hurricane with sustained
winds up to 140 m.p.h., ap-
proached Florida on Friday as a
Category 3 storm with 120-m.p.h.
winds, and was a Category 2

U.S. Accuses Russia of Directing
Hacks to Influence the Election
By DAVID E. SANGER and CHARLIE SAVAGE
WASHINGTON The Obama
administration on Friday formally
accused the Russian government
of stealing and disclosing emails
from the Democratic National
Committee and a range of other
institutions and prominent indi-
viduals, immediately raising the
issue of whether President
Obama would seek sanctions or
other retaliation.
In a statement from the director
of national intelligence, James R.
Clapper Jr., and the Department
of Homeland Security, the govern-
ment said the leaked emails that
have appeared on a variety of
websites are intended to inter-
fere with the U.S. election
process.
The emails were posted on the
well-known WikiLeaks site and
two newer sites, DCLeaks.com
and Guccifer 2.0, identified as be-
ing associated with Russian intel-
ligence.
We believe, based on the scope
and sensitivity of these efforts,
that only Russias senior-most of-

ficials could have authorized
these activities, the statement
said.
It did not name President
Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, but
that appeared to be the intention.
The statement from Mr. Clap-
per and the Department of Home-
land Security, which is primarily
responsible for defending the
country against sophisticated
cyberattacks, said the intelligence
agencies were less certain who
was responsible for scanning and
probing online election rolls in
states around the country. It said
that those in most cases
originated from servers operated
by a Russian company, but
stopped short of alleging the Rus-
sian government was responsible
for those probes.
The announcement came only
hours after Secretary of State
John Kerry called for the Russian
and Syrian governments to face a
formal war-crimes investigation
over attacks on civilians in Aleppo

U.S. to Open Battle to Retake Iraqi City From ISIS Peace Prizes Given on Hope More Than Success
This article is by Helene Cooper,
Eric Schmitt and Michael R. Gor-
don.
WASHINGTON As Iraqi and
American troops prepare to try to
retake the city of Mosul from the
Islamic State, the Obama adminis-
tration is describing the battle as
the last major hurdle before de-
claring victory against the
extremist Sunni militancy in
Iraq, at least.
But some former officials and
humanitarian aid groups are wor-
ried that President Obama will
run into the same problem that
haunted his predecessor, George
W. Bush: beginning a ground cam-
paign without a comprehensive
plan for what happens afterward.
Theres an effort to proclaim
mission accomplished, and obvi-
ously, getting back Mosul would
be a momentous and symbolic de-
feat for ISIS, said Vali Nasr, a for-
mer State Department official in
the Obama administration, using
another name for the Islamic
State. But, he said, victory in Mo-
sul without a detailed arrange-
ment for how the city and the sur-
rounding province will be gov-
erned does nothing to prevent
extremists from resurfacing
again.
Still, Obama administration of-
ficials are loath to further delay
the operation, which they first en-
visioned two years ago, in order to
sort out in advance the post-con-
flict political arrangements in and
around Mosul, Iraqs second-larg-
est city. The administration is
taking the calculated risk that the
future of a region populated by a

LONDON Just weeks after
President Obama won the Nobel
Peace Prize in 2009, he ordered
30,000 additional American
troops to Afghanistan.
In 2012, the honor went to the
European Union for creating a
fraternity between nations,
which has since slipped into na-
tionalism and division over the
migrant crisis and Britains vote
to leave the bloc altogether.
Then on Friday, President Juan
Manuel Santos of Colombia won
the peace prize for his efforts to
bring the countrys civil war to an
end only days after his country
rejected the peace deal in a refer-
endum.
How credible is the worlds
most prestigious peace prize
when peace itself is so scarce?
With successful peace deals few
and far between, the Nobel Peace
Prize has increasingly been
awarded as an encouragement,
said Thorbjorn Jagland, a mem-
ber of the Nobel committee and its
chairman from 2009 to 2015.
In other words, it is often a sort
of nudge to persevere.
Our mandate is to reward
those who have done the most for
peace over the past year, Mr.
Jagland said.
But when there is a dearth of ac-
tual peace, he added, we have to
award those who are trying.
Some applaud the notion, point-
ing out that, as the world has am-
ply demonstrated, its harder to
make peace than war.
But others worry that, over
time, the approach could devalue

leaders began to abandon Donald

Fearing that his candidacy was

PERSONAL ATTACKS
IN THE FOREFRONT
AT CAUSTIC DEBATE
Tawdry Accusations Fill Second Meeting
as Candidates Strike Angry Tone
By PATRICK HEALY and JONATHAN MARTIN
Donald J. Trump and Hillary
Clinton collided in an almost un-
remittingly hostile debate on Sun-
day night, a 90-minute spectacle
of character attacks, tawdry alle-
gations, and Mr. Trumps startling
accusation that Mrs. Clinton had
tremendous hate in her heart.
In a remarkable political ma-
neuver, Mr. Trump said Mrs. Clin-
ton had smeared women who ac-
cused her husband, Bill Clinton, of
sexually assaulting or harassing
them, seeking to salvage his presi-
dential candidacy after explosive
reports about his past lewd com-
ments about women.
Tense at first, and then increas-
ingly angry as he grew more com-
fortable on the attack, Mr. Trump
noted that three of Mr. Clintons
DOUG MILLS/THE NEW YORK TIMES
accusers were sitting in the audi-
ence. It was one of several mo-
ments when Mr. Trump aimed to
energize his most conservative
supporters and drive a wedge be-
tween them and the elected Re-
publican officials who have been
abandoning him. He even
threatened that if it were up to
him, Mrs. Clinton would be in
jail for her use of a private email
server as secretary of state.
Both candidates were visibly
uneasy throughout the debate,
even refusing to shake hands at
the beginning, as the town hall
event unfolded on a small stage in
a highly charged atmosphere. It
was a deeply ugly moment in
American politics, featuring the

EMAILS DISCLOSE
CLINTONS STRAIN
TO HONE MESSAGE
RELEASED BY WIKILEAKS
Portraying a Campaign
That Misread the
Electoral Mood
By AMY CHOZICK
and NICHOLAS CONFESSORE
On the eve of the New Hamp-
shire primary in February, a long-
time aide to Bill Clinton was wor-
ried. Hillary Clinton was about to
go down to defeat in the state, and
the former president was de-
spondent.
Hes losing it bad today, Mr. Donald J. Trump campaigning in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., on Monday, as Republican leaders fled.
Clintons chief of staff, Tina
Flournoy, wrote to John D. Po-
desta, Mrs. Clintons campaign
chairman, in an email. She added,
If youre in NH please see if you
can talk to him.
The email was one of thousands
released by WikiLeaks on Mon-
day that provided a revealing
glimpse into the inner workings of
Mrs. Clintons campaign. They
show a candidacy that began ex-
pecting a coronation and was
thrown badly off course by a mis-
reading of the electorate and a
struggle to define what she stood
for.
Stretching over nine years, but
drawn mainly from the past two
years, the correspondence cap-
tures in detail the campaigns ex-
treme caution and difficulty in
identifying a core rationale for her
candidacy, and the noisy world of
advisers, friends and family mem-
bers trying to exert influence.
At one point, more than a dozen
campaign aides corresponded
about whether Mrs. Clinton could
tell a joke at an Iowa dinner about
the hairstyles of two Republicans:

A Haitian City Was Finally Prospering. Then Came the Storm.
By AZAM AHMED
JRMIE, Haiti Things had
been looking up in Jrmie, a
coastal city marooned on the tip of
Haitis southern peninsula. It had
recently gotten its first decent
road link to the rest of the country,
a new highway through the rug-
ged mountains that brought de-
velopment. Cellphone service had
finally begun, enabling farmers
and businesses to flourish. The
city was racing into the 21st cen-
tury, dreaming of advanced agri-
culture and tourism in one of
Haitis few nature preserves.
But now, Hurricane Matthew
has turned back the clock.
The rich forests and vegetation
are now splinters and a saltwater
swamp. Roads are blocked with
detritus, trees turned to tinder,
homes reduced to mounds of
stone and rusted tin shards
cleaved from roofs. Jrmies am-
bitious economic plans have been
eviscerated.

have to restart, said Marie

Hard-Liners Denounce Cowards
By ALEXANDER BURNS and JONATHAN MARTIN
The House speaker, Paul D.
Ryan, dealt a hammer blow to
Donald J. Trumps presidential
candidacy on Monday, dashing
any remaining semblance of Re-
publican unity and inviting fierce
backlash from his own caucus by
announcing that he would no long-

Mr. Ryans stance drew an im-

An Ex-Detainee, but Still a Captive of The Darkness REPUBLICAN SPLIT

By JAMES RISEN
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates
At first, the Americans seemed
confused about Suleiman Abdul-
lah Salim. They apparently had
been expecting a light-skinned
Arab, and instead at a small air-
port outside Mogadishu that day
in March 2003, they had been
handed a dark-skinned African.
They said, You changed your
face, Mr. Salim, a Tanzanian, re-
called the American men telling
him when he arrived. They said:
You are Yemeni. You changed
your face.
That was the beginning of Mr.
Salims strange ordeal in United
States custody. It has been 13
years since he was tortured in a
secret prison in Afghanistan run
by the Central Intelligence
Agency, a place he calls The
Darkness. It has been eight years

since he was released no
charges, no explanations back
into the world.
Even after so much time, Mr.
Salim, 45, is struggling to move
on. Suffering from depression and
post-traumatic stress, according
to a medical assessment, he is
withdrawn and wary. He cannot
talk about his experiences with
his wife, who he says worries that
the Americans will come back to
snatch him. He is fearful of draw-
ing too much attention at home in
Stone Town in Zanzibar, Tanzania,
concerned that his neighbors will
think he is an American spy.
When he speaks, not in his na-
tive Swahili but in the English he
learned from his jailers, Mr. Salim
nearly whispers. Many times
now I feel like I have something
heavy inside my body, he said in
an interview. Sometimes I walk,
and I walk, and I forget, I forget
everything, I forget prison, The

When several Samsung Galaxy

None were able to get a phone to

faulty batteries from one of the

The scandal engulfing Wells
Fargo toppled its chairman and

The move was a swift and stun-

bank made it through the 2008 fi-

sham-account sales scandal that
pervaded its community banking

It was an extraordinary mo-

criticism and regular scandals

the industrys many troubles, rel-

In the 1990s, New Jersey Tran-
sit was riding high.
Its ridership was increasing,
and its trains were new and run-
ning on time. It won a coveted
award for outstanding public
transportation three times. In the
years ahead, faster routes to Man-
hattan and double-decker trains
would put it at the forefront of the
nations commuter railroads.
Even as recently as 2007, it won a
leadership award from New York
University.
That all seems like a very long
time ago.
Today, New Jersey Transit is in
crisis. Its aging tracks and trains
need billions of dollars in improve-
ments. Delays and fares are rising
along with ridership, with pas-
senger cars packed to the break-
ing point. The century-old tunnel
that carries its trains to New York
is crumbling. And the agency has
gone nearly a year without a per-
manent leader.
It was an excellent railroad
and running quite well until the
last seven years, and it has been in
constant decline, said Martin E.
Robins, a former deputy execu-
tive director of the agency.
Under the administration of
Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican,
the state subsidy for the agency
has plunged by more than 90 per-

readers and listeners,
however much they might have
been pulling for Philip Roth or
Don DeLillo or Margaret Atwood.
This Nobel acknowledges what
weve long sensed to be true:
that Mr. Dylan is among the most
authentic voices America has
produced, a maker of images as
audacious and resonant as any-
thing in Walt Whitman or Emily
Dickinson.
It has never hurt that Mr.
Dylans words were delivered, as
the English poet Philip Larkin
once put it, in a cawing, derisive
voice that seemed to carry the
weight of myth and prophecy. Mr.
Larkin was not Mr. Dylans
greatest fan. He found the lyrics
to Desolation Row to be possi-
bly half-baked.
It took a different Englishman,
the venerated critic and scholar
Christopher Ricks, to make the
case most fully for Mr. Dylan as
a complicated and complicating
poet. In Mr. Rickss sly 2004 book

suasively compared Mr. Dylan at
various points with personages
as distinct as Yeats, Hardy,
Keats, Marvell, Tennyson and
Marlon Brando.

TRUMP FIRES BACK,
ACCUSING WOMEN
OF FALSE SMEARS
Suggests a Plot Against Him as Claims of
Unwanted Advances Grow
By PATRICK HEALY and ALAN RAPPEPORT
Donald J. Trump implored
supporters on Thursday to rally
behind him by portraying himself
as a victim of false smears from
a growing number of women ac-
cusing him of making unwanted
advances a brazen attempt to
stabilize his campaign amid a new
round of criticism from Republi-
can allies and a searing denuncia-
tion by Michelle Obama.
By Thursday night, at least six
women had publicly accused Mr.
Trump of groping and forcibly
kissing them over the decades, a
pattern of sexual assault that he
denied in the presidential debate
on Sunday after bragging about
JIM COLE/ASSOCIATED PRESS such behavior in a 2005 recording
that was unearthed last week.
Mr. Trump dismissed all the al-
legations on Thursday and even
lashed out at one of the women, a
former writer for People maga-

was not attractive enough for him.

missiles at an American warship
twice in four days, and so the
United States hit back, destroying

But for the rebels and many oth-

on Thursday were just the first
public evidence of what they have
long believed: that the United

the hidden hand behind Saudi

For the Obama administration,
the missile strikes also high-

war engulfed the country two

Trumps treatment of women be-
came the all-consuming focus of
the political world, a remarkable
turn as the sexual history of a
presidential nominee became a
dominant and unavoidable issue
in the final weeks of the race.
Rarely, too, has a candidate in a
general election so darkly in-
sinuated that a conspiracy of
forces was trying to undermine
him and his admirers, as Mr.
Trump did Thursday at events in
the battleground states of Florida
and Ohio.
With Hillary Clinton assuming
a low profile on Thursday to keep

Mrs. Obama drew wide praise
from Democrats and on social me-

By SUSAN DOMINUS
A week ago, it would have
seemed wildly unlikely to most
people that Donald J. Trump, not
Hillary Clinton, would be the
candidate more likely to provoke
a culture-wide shift in how we
think of and talk about sexual
assault. But since the release on
Friday of a recording in which
Trump essentially admits he has
a habit of sexually assaulting
women, a series of stories involv-
ing the Republican nominee
seems to be doing just that.
Consider the story of the for-
mer People magazine reporter
Natasha Stoynoff, whom Trump
reportedly pushed up against a
wall and kissed in 2005.
Stoynoff chose to move on with
her life rather than speak pub-
licly about what she says Trump
did to her. Even as a media-
savvy working woman, she
writes that she still partly
blamed herself for the assault
well into this year, believing that
at some level, she had surely
somehow encouraged it.
She could not shake the idea of
her own culpability until the
moment she heard Trump on
tape saying he did this kind of
thing as a matter of course. I
finally understood for sure that I
was not to blame for his inappro-
priate behavior, she wrote.
Her choices and her thinking,
all those years before she told
her story they sound familiar.

older would still respond to those

Obama Moves TRUMP ALLEGES

At a small clinic in hurricane-battered Rendel, Haiti, a cholera patient was bathed with soap and water mixed with bleach.
After Deadly Hurricane, Cholera Deepens the Misery in Haiti
By AZAM AHMED
RENDEL, Haiti There is a
plague on this town.
Even before the winds and rain
toppled nearly everything stand-
ing, cholera was already here. It
came down from the mountains,
washing into the lives of the thou-
sands who once lived above the
river.
Now the only sign of life is in a
makeshift clinic dealing with hun-
dreds of suspected cholera cases,
a small concrete building where
just a few nurses contend with the
swarms of patients arriving every
hour.
There is only one public official
left. The mayor was struck by
cholera and left on foot to seek
treatment hours away. One depu-
ty died of the disease last week.
Another fled, like so many others,
to escape the ruin visited on the
town of Rendel by Hurricane
Matthew and its aftermath.
Ninety percent of our village is
gone, said Eric Valcourt, a priest
in the Roman Catholic parish that
runs the clinic and a school that
now serves as a shelter for those
too sick or poor to leave. Many
left by foot to escape the disease
and devastation. The rest died
from cholera or the hurricane.
A week has passed since the
hurricane tore through this re-
mote stretch of Haitis southern
peninsula, leaving an apocalyptic
landscape of treeless countryside,
disarticulated homes and a land
robbed of its natural riches.
But for many, the torment has
only started. Cholera, the disease
at the heart of Haitis last disaster,
is being spread again by this one.
About 10,000 people have died
and hundreds of thousands have

been sickened since cholera first
appeared in late 2010. Scientists
say it was brought to Haiti by
United Nations peacekeepers sta-
tioned at a base that leaked waste
into a river. After years of deflect-
ing blame, the United Nations this
summer acknowledged its own
involvement in the suffering
Haiti has experienced from the
disease.
Now, cholera is stalking the ar-
eas gutted by the hurricane, a long
peninsula of coastal towns and
mountain villages where clean
water was already hard to find,

long before the storm. Here in the
remote town of Rendel, a grueling
four-hour trek to the nearest
paved road, the disease has
spread to every crevice of this val-
ley and the hills above.
We are all at risk, said the last
official in Rendel, Pierre Cenel,
the magistrate.
A father raced down the hill to
the clinic with his young daughter
draped over his back, clutching
her legs, his face fixed in fear.
She must have cholera, the
magistrate said. He is running to
save her life.
Cholera was creeping through
the mountains even before the
hurricane, claiming the lives of
untold numbers as its pushed to-
ward town. First came the sick,
who trudged down to Rendel, des-
perate for medical care.

To Further Ease VAST CONSPIRACY
Cuba Embargo
Directive Makes Policy
Harder to Reverse 2 WOMEN ARE MOCKED
By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
WASHINGTON President
Obama on Friday issued a sweep-
ing directive to enshrine his ad-
ministrations historic opening
with Cuba well beyond the end of
his presidency, setting a new pol-
icy to lift the embargo that codi-
fied the Cold War rupture as he
ended restrictions on importing
Cuban rum and cigars.
The action formalizes the shift
toward normalization that the
president unveiled nearly two
years ago with the announcement
that he and President Ral Castro
of Cuba had secretly agreed to re-
pair their countries relationship.
Mr. Obama was using executive
power to transform what has been
one of his top foreign policy priori-
ties and a vivid example of his
strategy of engaging with former
adversaries into a set of official
mandates that could shape United
States policy toward Cuba for
years to come.
Mr. Obama on Friday also made
what aides said were probably his
final major modifications to loos-
en United States sanctions on
Cuba, including lifting the $100
limit on bringing Cuban rum and
cigars into the United States. The
revisions will also allow Cuban
pharmaceuticals to be approved
by the Food and Drug Administra-
tion and imported into the United
States, permit online retailers to
sell goods in Cuba and allow credit
financing for the sale of agricul-
tural goods, such as tractors and
pesticides, to Cuba.

Mr. Obama to press forward with
his thaw with Cuba even in the
face of lingering opposition in
Congress to repealing the embar-

BEHIND ACCUSERS
Accelerating His Retreat
From an Appeal to
Swing Voters
By ALEXANDER BURNS
and NICK CORASANITI
Donald J. Trump wielded his
presidential candidacy on Friday
as a weapon for savaging detrac-
tors and venting personal griev-
ances, attacking the women who
have accused him of sexual as-
sault and unwelcome advances
and railing against what he de-
scribed as a vast conspiracy
against him by the news media
and Hillary Clintons campaign.
With a campaign speech in
North Carolina that whirled from
one target to the next, Mr. Trump
accelerated his shift away from
courting swing voters or deliver-
ing a message aimed at the po-
litical mainstream.
Instead, after weeks on the de-
fensive, battered by disclosures
about his treatment of women and
about his business dealings, Mr.
Trump appeared increasingly
consumed with the idea that he
has been wronged and bent on
convincing his fans that sinister
forces are to blame for his political
decline.
Mr. Trump told the restive
crowd that his advisers wanted
him to focus on his core economic
message, but that he had no inten-
tion of allowing his critics to go un-
answered.
My people always say: Oh,
dont talk about it. Talk about jobs.
Talk about the economy, Mr.
Trump said.
But I feel I have to talk about
them, because you have to dispute
when somebody says something,
he added of the allegations
against him. Fortunately, we
have the microphone. Were able
to dispute; some people cant.

Caught in the gap between his

POLITICAL MEMO
Clinton Treads Lightly
Amid Furor Over Trump
Old Missteps and Her Husbands History
Leave Female Nominee Awkwardly Muted
By AMY CHOZICK
In the past week, as a swirl of
sexual assault accusations
against Donald J. Trump has
prompted a loud national discus-
sion about male power and
womens rights, the first woman
to be a major partys presidential
nominee was barely heard from.
Though Hillary Clinton has
stood at the center of feminist
debates for more than two
decades, she has at times been
an imperfect messenger for the
cause. That has never been more
apparent than now, as her old
missteps and her husbands
history have effectively para-
lyzed her during a moment of
widespread outrage.
The most impassioned
speeches on the topic have come
not from her, but from the first
lady, Michelle Obama, who said
Mr. Trumps words had shaken

dent Obama and others. When
Mrs. Clinton herself spoke, she
quickly changed the subject to

Mr. Trump had recently lost the
Wisconsin primary, which Mr.
Ryan and other Republicans in the
state thought would presage the

Senator Ted Cruz of Texas had
made strides, and Mr. Ryan
thought the campaign would
snake into the summer.
But he badly miscalculated. The
ensuing path, from Mr. Trumps
securing the nomination to Mr.
Ryans decision not to have the
nominee appear with him at a
rally in Wisconsin a month before
Election Day, has been jagged and
treacherous, marked by brief mo-

could be controlled, followed by
the sinking realization that he
could not.
Mr. Ryan heard the persistent

Nations Agree to Cut Use of a Harmful Coolant

Public Rattled OFFICIALS FIGHT

A member of the Iraqi forces, preparing for the assault on Mosul, checked his weapon at a base about 35 miles away on Sunday.
Iraqi Forces Attack Mosul, a Beleaguered Stronghold for ISIS
By ROD NORDLAND
ERBIL, Iraq Mosuls resi-
dents are hoarding food and
furtively scrawling resistance slo-
gans on walls, while the citys Is-
lamic State rulers have feverishly
expanded their underground tun-
nel network and tried to dodge
American drones.
After months of maneuvering,
the Iraqi governments battle to
reclaim Mosul, the sprawling city
whose million-plus population
lent the most credence to the Is-
lamic States claim to rule a fledg-
ling nation, has finally begun. In
the early hours Monday, an an-
nouncement by Prime Minister
Haider al-Abadi of the campaigns
opening was accompanied by ar-
tillery barrages and a rush of ar-
mored vehicles toward the front a
few miles from the citys limits.
Those forces will fight to enter a
city where for weeks the harsh au-
thoritarian rule of the Islamic
State, also known as ISIS, ISIL or
Daesh, has sought to crack down
on a population eager to either es-
cape or rebel, according to inter-
views with roughly three dozen
people from Mosul. Among them
were refugees who managed to
sneak out in recent weeks and
residents reached by contraband
cellphones in the city.
Just getting out of Mosul had
become difficult and dangerous:

While the civilians described
stockpiling food in basement hid-

to be frantically making military
preparations within Mosul, tem-

new accounts.
Some of Mosuls remaining one

Early this month, 58 people
were executed for their role in a

Talk of Sexual Abuse
Fuels Voters Anger IRRESPONSIBLE SPEECH
By PATRICK HEALY
and FARAH STOCKMAN
In high school civics classes, the
usual assignments about political
parties and the Electoral College
have given way to anguished
venting about groping and sexual
violence.
In therapy sessions, patients re-
port feeling triggered and even re-
traumatized by Donald J. Trumps
graphic remarks about women
and his boasting about forcing
himself on them and getting away
with it.
And in conversations before
and after church services, the
stench of moral decay has stirred
discussions about Bill Clintons
behavior with a White House in-
tern in the 1990s, and whether his
conduct was actually worse than
Mr. Trumps.
Sexual abuse is not something
most parishioners thought theyd
have to think about in this cam-
paign, said the Rev. Stephen M.
Koeth, a Roman Catholic priest
who assists at the Holy Trinity
church on Manhattans Upper
West Side. It is a painful moment
in our culture.
For voters across party lines,
the presidential race was already
ugly, already exhausting and al-
ready dominated by two candi-
dates many voters found deplor-
able. And yet it somehow man-
aged to tip into something worse
in recent days: a twilight zone of
politics where sexual tawdriness
and assault accusations have be-
come consuming issues in the fi-
nal weeks of the campaign.
Among many Democrats, de-
spair is setting in that the next
president could be, in their minds,
a sexual predator. Among many
Republicans, disgust is wide-
spread that the next president
could be married to a man who
was, as they see it, a serial adul-
terer at best.
Those negative feelings are in-

OF A RIGGED VOTE
Despite Talk, Pence Says
Ticket Will Accept
Election Results
By JONATHAN MARTIN
and ALEXANDER BURNS
WASHINGTON Republican
leaders and election officials from
both parties on Sunday sought to
combat claims by Donald J.
Trump that the election is rigged
against him, amid signs that Mr.
Trumps contention is eroding
confidence in the vote and setting
off talk of rebellion among his
supporters.
In a vivid illustration of how Mr.
Trump is shattering American po-
litical norms, the Republican
nominee is alleging that a conspir-
acy is underway between the
news media and the Democratic
Party to commit vast election
fraud. He has offered no evidence
to support his claim.
The election is absolutely be-
ing rigged by the dishonest and
distorted media pushing Crooked
Hillary but also at many polling
places SAD, Mr. Trump wrote
on Twitter on Sunday.
Mr. Trump made the incendiary
assertion hours after his running
mate, Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana,
tried to play down Mr. Trumps
questioning of the fairness of the
election. Mr. Pence said on NBCs
Meet the Press that he and Mr.
Trump will absolutely accept the
result of the election.
Mr. Trumps words, though, ap-
pear to be having an effect on his
supporters, and are setting off
deep concern among civil rights
groups. According to an Assoc-
iated Press poll last month, only
one-third of Republicans said they
had a great deal of confidence
their votes would be counted
fairly. And election officials are

counted herself among the last
holdouts on Lufeng Road.
Even as high-rises sprang up in
recent years to surround her di-
lapidated home, Ms. Zheng, a 50-
year-old schoolteacher, and her
husband, Sun Guojian, held firm.
He grew up there. Her school was
a 20-minute bicycle ride away.
They raised their son there,
though he eventually grew so tall
that his head grazed the ceiling of
his cramped room. When city offi-
cials pushed them to sell, they said
no.
Then came Chinas latest prop-
erty bubble a frothy surge in
prices that could have global
repercussions if it pops.
In August, an unremarkable
piece of land around the corner
from Ms. Zheng sold for nearly
$2,000 a square foot, a national
record and nearly three times the
average land price in Manhattan.
Local officials grew more insist-
ent and threatened to tear down
their bathroom.
Finally, they relented, and Ms.
Zhengs husband signed away the
home for a price to be determined
later. Then, on Oct. 9, Mr. Sun died
of a heart attack, something Ms.
Zheng said was perhaps influ-
enced by stress over the pending

Clinton Pushes MOSUL CAMPAIGN

Into Bastions
Of the G.O.P.
Trying to Crush Trump
and Aid Democrats
By MATT FLEGENHEIMER
and JONATHAN MARTIN
Hillary Clintons campaign is
planning its most ambitious push
yet into traditionally right-leaning
states, a new offensive aimed at
extending her growing advantage
over Donald J. Trump while bol-
stering down-ballot candidates in
what party leaders increasingly
suggest could be a sweeping vic-
tory for Democrats at every level.
Signaling extraordinary confi-
dence in Mrs. Clintons electoral
position and a new determination
to deliver a punishing message to
Mr. Trump and Republicans about
his racially tinged campaign, her
aides said Monday that she would
aggressively compete in Arizona,
a state with a growing Hispanic
population that has been ground
zero for the countrys heated de-
bate over immigration.
Mrs. Clinton is dramatically
expanding her efforts in Arizona,
her campaign manager, Robby
Mook, told reporters on Monday.
She is pouring more than $2 mil-
lion into advertising and dispatch-
ing perhaps her most potent sur-
rogate, Michelle Obama, for a
rally in Phoenix on Thursday.
In Indiana and Missouri, Mr.
Mook said, the campaign will
spend a total of $1 million to drive
voter turnout, despite what he ac-
knowledged was an uphill battle
for Mrs. Clinton in two states that
could determine control of the
Senate. Mrs. Clinton is also direct-

Across the country, voters

unorganized and inconspicuous
acts of protest that take direct aim
at perhaps his most prized pos-

WASHINGTON Documents
released Monday in the Hillary
Clinton email investigation show
intense disagreement last year
between the State Department
and the F.B.I. over whether some
of Mrs. Clintons emails should be
considered classified, including a
discussion of a possible quid pro
quo to settle one dispute.
The new batch of documents in-
dicated that in one particular case,
a senior State Department official,
Patrick F. Kennedy, pressed the
F.B.I. to agree that one of Mrs.
Clintons emails on the 2012 Ben-
ghazi attack would be unclassified
and not classified as the bureau
wanted.
What remained unclear from
the documents was whether it
was Mr. Kennedy or an F.B.I. offi-
cial who purportedly offered the
quid pro quo: marking the email
unclassified in exchange for the
State Departments approving the
posting of more F.B.I. agents to
Iraq.
Officials at both the F.B.I. and
the State Department said Mon-
day that no deal had been struck,
or even offered, over the classifi-
cation of Mrs. Clintons private
emails. They noted that the Ben-

Iraq Is Calling the Shots
With Americans Near
the Front Line

WASHINGTON As Iraqi
forces launch their long-awaited
campaign to retake the city of Mo-
sul from the Islamic State, Presi-
dent Obamas doctrine of aiding
other countries militarily rather
than leading every fight is facing
its greatest test yet.
How well the Mosul campaign
goes, not just the fighting over the
coming days and weeks but the re-
building of the city in the months
after that, will help define Mr.
Obamas legacy as a wartime
leader who sought to take the
United States off the front lines of
the counterterrorism war.
On Monday, in keeping with the
presidents insistence that the
Iraqis take the lead, the White
House said that Prime Minister
Haider al-Abadi was calling the
shots. But the reality is that
roughly half of the 5,000 American
troops now in Iraq are likely to be
involved in the
operation,
which could
eventually re-

After the Hurricane, the Only Shelter We Have Master of Trades, if Not Art, Says He Was Duped
By AZAM AHMED
LACADONIE, Haiti When
the rain comes at night in these
distant mountains, the people flee
what homes they have left. They
race down hills threaded with
stones and ragged palm branches,
the earth the color of rust.
They arrive at a cave carved
into the hillside, the only sanctu-
ary left after the storm. It is a holy
place now, having saved hundreds
of villagers during the worst of
Hurricane Matthew, when nature
tore their homes to the ground. It
is still the only thing to protect
them.
For four days and nights, they
huddled in its womb before
emerging, frightened the hurri-
cane might return. They slept on a
floor of stacked boulders near the
caves mouth, lighting small fires
for warmth and light.
When they left, they salvaged
enough to shield them from the
sun, a few corroded sheets of zinc
and scattered wooden beams. But
when it rains they return to the
cave, their shacks unable to keep
the water out. And despite the
odor and humidity, the unforgiv-
ing crags and profound darkness,
they are thankful.
It is our house that God creat-
ed when we most needed it, said
Destine Jean, one of the villagers
who first alerted the government
of the closest town, Beaumont, to
the people living in caves. With-
out this cave, a lot of people would
have died. This is the only shelter
we have.

known more as a crisis than a
country. Disaster, whether man-
made or natural, has come to de-

When he turned to constructing

with similar ambition and shrewd-
ness, amassing an impressive
trove of 5,000 works by hundreds
of artists he loved, including Leon

But when Mr. Hall set out last
year to stage an exhibition of Gol-

seum he operates in this small vil-
lage, he found out to his surprise
that more than a third of the Gol-
ubs he had bought were forgeries,
according to a lawsuit he filed last

Few Answering LOSING TERRITORY,

Call by Trump
To Watch Polls
Fraud Warnings Raise
Intimidation Fears
By TRIP GABRIEL
Warning darkly of a stolen elec-
tion, Donald J. Trump has called
on supporters to turn out in
droves on Election Day to monitor
polling places, telling them they
need to be vigilant against wide-
spread voter fraud and a rigged
outcome.
Voter fraud is all too common,
and then they criticize us for say-
ing that, he said at a rally Tues-
day in Colorado Springs. But take
a look at Philadelphia, whats been
going on, take a look at Chicago,
take a look at St. Louis. Take a look
at some of these cities, where you
see things happening that are hor-
rendous.
His language has stirred in-
creasing fears of intimidation of
minorities inside polling places,
where their qualifications to vote
could be challenged, or outside,
where they would face illegal elec-
tioneering.
But as Mr. Trump casts doubt
on the integrity of the presidential
election, there are no signs of a
wave of Trump poll watchers
building. Like much else about his
campaign, his call to get every-
body to go out and watch the
polls seems to be a Potemkin ef-
fort, with little or no organization
behind it.
Still, his pronouncements about
a stolen election were enough to
draw a mocking rebuke Tuesday
from President Obama, who sug-
gested that Mr. Trumps effort to
delegitimize the election results
even before the vote takes place
was unprecedented. He told the
Republican nominee to stop
whining and go try to make his
case to get votes. [Page A12.]
I have never seen in my life-
time or in modern political history
any presidential candidate trying
to discredit the elections and the
election process before votes have
even taken place, Mr. Obama

For now, though, his focus is on
getting Mr. Trump elected. Gen-

curity is supposed to be one of the
nights six topics.
In an election year filled with
strange and jarring turns, Gen-

may be one of the most unusual.
He has gone from being one of the

BEIRUT, Lebanon Islamic
State leaders had long promised
their followers an apocalyptic bat-

the Prophet Muhammad in an
otherwise nondescript village
they controlled in northern Syria.
But the warriors of the self-de-
clared caliphate lost the village,
Dabiq, in just a few hours over the
weekend as Syrian rebels, backed
by Turkey, closed in. To soften the
symbolic blow, the Islamic State
switched rhetorical gears, declar-
ing that the real Dabiq battle
would come some other time.
The about-face was part of a
larger repositioning as the Islamic
State loses ground, not only in
Syria but also in Iraq, where
forces backed by the United
States began a drive on Monday to
oust the group from the sprawling
and strategically vital city of Mo-
sul. On the defensive in both coun-
tries, the group has been making
preparations for retrenchment
and survival.
Hundreds of Islamic State fight-
ers and their families have fled to
the groups de facto capital, the
northern Syrian city of Raqqa, in
recent days, according to several
residents of that city who asked
not to be named to avoid reprisals.

2008, with the Great Recession
underway and Detroits auto in-
dustry in a free fall, Ford Motor
took a big gamble: It would switch
three of its North American as-
sembly plants from building
trucks and sport utility vehicles to
making small passenger cars.
With gasoline prices rising
above $4 a gallon at the time and
truck sales plummeting, Ford was
losing billions and along with
General Motors and Chrysler
teetering on the verge of bank-
ruptcy.
The centerpiece of Fords tran-
sition was its plant in Wayne,
Mich. There, the company would
replace production of big S.U.V.s
with that of compact cars, on the
assumption that consumer de-
mand had shifted permanently to-
ward smaller vehicles.
We dont have a sustainable
company if we dont do this, Alan
R. Mulally, then Fords chief exec-
utive, said at the time.
But eight years later, Ford, the
nations second-largest au-
tomaker after G.M., is once again
reversing course in Wayne.

from Donald J. Trump and other
critics of the North American Free
Trade Agreement, Ford is giving
up on making small cars in the
United States and plans to move
production of its Focus compact
cars from the Wayne factory to a
new plant under construction in
Mexico.
Mr. Trump and others have crit-
icized Ford for creating jobs in
Mexico rather than in the United
States. Seldom mentioned by
Fords critics, though, is an essen-
tial fact. The Wayne factory will

De Blasio Inquiry Is Said to Focus
On Whether Donors Got Favors
By WILLIAM K. RASHBAUM
A federal investigation into
Mayor Bill de Blasios campaign
fund-raising has zeroed in on
whether donations were ex-
changed for beneficial city action
in about a half-dozen cases, ac-
cording to people with knowledge
of the inquiry.
Prosecutors have subpoenaed
thousands of emails and docu-
ments from the New York mayor,
his senior aides, city agencies, lob-
byists, his 2013 campaign, donors
to the campaign and to the non-
profit formed to advance his po-
litical agenda, the Campaign for
One New York as well as the
group itself, which several people

the matters being scrutinized.
Still, after more than six months
of digging into the mayors deal-

er sufficient evidence to warrant
criminal charges that Mr. de Bla-
sio, a Democrat, or his aides took
official action for donors in ex-
change for contributions to his
nonprofit or to his campaign.

steel, she quipped with a smile.
She mocked him. After Mr.
Trump said President Vladimir V.
Putin of Russia had no respect
for her, Mrs. Clinton slyly posited
why Mr. Putin seemingly pre-
ferred Mr. Trump: Hed rather
have a puppet as president of the
United States, she said.
In the third and final presiden-
tial debate, Mrs. Clinton
outmaneuvered Mr. Trump with a
surprising new approach: his.

nominee who showed up onstage
in Las Vegas was a different figure
from the candidate America has

Mr. Trump was, for much of the

He minimized his name-calling.
His interruptions were relatively
rare.
In a debate that his allies and
aides had predicted would repre-

IF HE WILL ACCEPT
ELECTIONS RESULT
I Will Keep You in Suspense, He Says
Clinton Calls It Horrifying
By PATRICK HEALY and JONATHAN MARTIN
In a remarkable statement that
seemed to cast doubt on American
democracy, Donald J. Trump said
Wednesday that he might not ac-
cept the results of next months
election if he felt it was rigged
against him a stand that Hillary
Clinton blasted as horrifying at
their final and caustic debate on
Wednesday.
Mr. Trump, under enormous
pressure to halt Mrs. Clintons
steady rise in opinion polls, came
across as repeatedly frustrated as
he tried to rally conservative
voters with hard-line stands on il-
legal immigration and abortion
rights. But he kept finding himself
drawn onto perilous political terri-
tory by Mrs. Clinton and the de-
bates moderator, Chris Wallace.
He sputtered when Mrs. Clinton
charged that he would be a pup-
pet of President Vladimir V.
Putin of Russia if elected. He
lashed out repeatedly, saying that
shes been proven to be a liar on
so many different ways and that
shes guilty of a very, very seri-
ous crime over her State Depart-
ment email practices. And by the
end of the debate, when Mrs. Clin-
ton needled him over Social Secu-
rity, Mr. Trump snapped and said,
Such a nasty woman.
Mrs. Clinton was repeatedly
forced to defend her long service
in government, which Mr. Trump
charged had yielded no real ac-
complishments. But she was
rarely rattled, and made a deter-
mined effort to rise above Mr.
Trumps taunts while making
overtures to undecided voters.
She particularly sought to ap-
peal to Republicans and
independents who have doubts
about Mr. Trump, arguing that she
was not an opponent of the Second
Amendment as he claimed, and
promising to be tougher and
shrewder on national security
than Mr. Trump.
But it was Mr. Trumps remark
about the election results that
stood out, even in a race that has
been full of astonishing moments.
Mr. Trump insisted, without of-
fering evidence, that the general
election has been rigged against
him, and he twice refused to say
that he would accept its result.
I will look at it at the time, Mr.
Trump said. I will keep you in
suspense.
Thats horrifying, Mrs. Clin-
ton replied. Lets be clear about
what he is saying and what that
means. He is denigrating he is
talking down our democracy. And
I am appalled that someone who is
the nominee of one of our two ma-
jor parties would take that posi-
tion.
Mrs. Clinton then ticked off the
number of times he had deemed a
system rigged when he suffered a
setback, noting he had even called

show, The Apprentice, was

LONDON The men were con-
victed tens of thousands of
them of crimes like buggery,
gross indecency and loitering
with intent. They had been ar-
rested in bars, coffee houses and
public bathrooms, and sometimes
in the privacy of their homes and
with their partners. In many
cases, their only offense was seek-
ing intimacy with another man.
Decades after homosexuality
was decriminalized in Britain, the
government announced on Thurs-
day that it would posthumously
pardon thousands of gay and bi-
sexual men who were convicted,
in essence, of having or seeking
gay sex. Since 2012, men with such
convictions who are still alive
have been able to apply to have
their names cleared.
The bill providing for the par-

In Nasty Turn, TRUMP STAYS FIRM
Clinton Unites ON HAVING OPTION
Generations
Host of Womens Issues
Coalesce for Liberals WERE GOING TO WIN
By FARAH STOCKMAN
In her debate on Wednesday
with Donald J. Trump, Hillary
Clinton for the first time emerged
as the clarion-voiced advocate for
women whom many liberal wom-
en had been longing for espe-
cially the younger voters she had
largely left cold throughout the
Democratic primaries.
Speaking on abortion rights, a
defining issue for an older genera-
tion of feminists, Mrs. Clinton dis-
pensed with Democrats long-
standing caveat that the pro-
cedure should be rare, and
strongly defended womens right
to control their own bodies with-
out government interference.
More tellingly, Mrs. Clinton also
seemed to speak to a new genera-
tion of women and to many
young men by assailing Mr.
Trump over sexual assault and
harassment, saying his dismissals
of the allegations against him by
multiple women showed that he
thinks belittling women makes
him bigger.
He goes after their dignity,
their self-worth, Mrs. Clinton
said firmly. And I dont think
there is a woman anywhere who
doesnt know what that feels like.
Perhaps the biggest boost she
received, however, was one that
neither she nor any army of po-
litical operatives could have engi-
neered: when Mr. Trump inter-
jected, What a nasty woman, as
Mrs. Clinton was discussing So-

Overnight, his insult became a
battle cry for Mrs. Clintons parti-

passions she had not yet stirred.

TO DISPUTE VOTE
Rallying Base, He Says
He Would Accept a
Clear Result
By ALAN RAPPEPORT
and ALEXANDER BURNS
Donald J. Trump insisted on
Thursday that he would not cede
the right to contest the outcome of
the presidential election, even as
Democrats and Republicans ex-
pressed concern that his position
threatened to upend Americas
tradition of peaceful power trans-
fers. But in a small gesture of civil-
ity, he suggested that he would not
dispute the result if the outcome of
the race was clear.
Mr. Trumps reluctance to
pledge absolutely that he would
honor the election outcome fol-
lows a rocky performance in the
third and last presidential debate
and comes as the candidates set
off for the frenzied final stretch of
campaigning ahead of the Nov. 8
election. On Thursday, Mr. Trump
continued to rally his supporters
with conspiracy theories about
how the race was rigged against
him, but he did make clear that
there was one result that he would
not challenge under any circum-
stance.
I will totally accept the results
of this great and historic presiden-
tial election if I win, Mr. Trump
said to cheers at a rally in Dela-
ware, Ohio.

N.F.L. ABUSE CASE: AT&T Aims for an Empire With Time Warner
FAMILIAR GROUND A $70 Billion Bid to
Domestic Violence Vows
Appear Unheeded
By KEN BELSON
and BILL PENNINGTON
After one of the most egregious
cases of domestic violence among
National Football League players
two years ago, in which a star on
the Baltimore Ravens was caught
on video knocking out his fiance,
the league vowed a not-again, get-
tough approach.
The player, Ray Rice, was sus-
pended indefinitely after an up-
roar regarding his initial punish-
ment, a two-game suspension.
Public service announcements
featuring players denouncing do-
mestic violence were broadcast
during games. A former prosecu-
tor was hired to lead a newly
formed unit to help the league in-
vestigate cases without relying
solely on the authorities.
And the commissioner, Roger
Goodell, after the public burst of
anger over Rices conduct and the
initial limited penalty for it, insti-
tuted a policy of six-game suspen-
sions for players found to have
committed abusive acts against a
spouse or partner.
Yet the N.F.L. is once again fac-
ing a crisis after revelations this
week regarding a Giants player
who admitted to the team that he
had abused his wife and was al-
lowed to remain on the roster after
only a one-game suspension from
the league.
Police documents released
Wednesday showed that the play-

Vision of Porous Gun Laws
Patchwork of Regulations Allows Violence
to Continue Despite Reform Efforts
By SHARON LaFRANIERE
and EMILY PALMER
John R. Houser was danger-
ously mentally ill, too ill to carry a
gun. Of that, there is little doubt.
Over 16 years, Mr. Houser, 59,
had been charged with hiring a
man to burn down a lawyers of-
fice and named in a domestic vio-
lence complaint. In 2008, after Mr.
Houser threatened to kill his
daughters fianc, a judge issued a
temporary restraining order and
ordered him hospitalized for psy-
chiatric evaluation. In 2014, he
threatened to shoot law enforce-
ment officers who were trying to
evict him, then booby-trapped the
house to start a natural gas fire.
His record was frightening
enough that an Alabama sheriff
refused to issue him a concealed
weapons permit. But like most
states, Alabama requires no per-
mit to buy a firearm. His wife said
she repeatedly threw his hand-
guns into the Chattahoochee
River, fearing that he would harm
himself or others. Mr. Houser just
bought more.
Holed up in a Motel 6 in July
2015, Mr. Houser wrote in a journal
that Dylann Roof, the white man
charged with gunning down nine
black members of a historic
Charleston, S.C., church the previ-
ous month, had the right idea, but
the wrong targets.
Thank you for the wake-up
call, Dylann, he wrote.
Later that month, Mr. Houser
walked into a movie theater in La-
fayette, La., carrying a .40-caliber
semiautomatic pistol that he had
bought at a Phenix City, Ala.,
pawnshop the year before. Ten
minutes into a showing of the

Haunted by the Ones Left Behind
They Took In a Refugee Family. But Families Dont Have Borders.
By JODI KANTOR
and CATRIN EINHORN
Toronto | Sept. 8, Morning
Wissam al-Hajj, a Syrian ref-
ugee, woke up in the most comfort-
able home she had ever lived in, an
apartment growing increasingly
stuffed with toys for her four chil-
dren. She realized she had slept far
more soundly than usual. But
when she remembered why, she
grew irritated: Her husband,
Mouhamad, had hidden the phone
from her.
As their older children com-
peted for the first shower, Ms. Hajj
recalled the argument from the
night before. Her husband had
been trying to spare her from an
agonizing consequence of their
move to Canada: the pleading
messages from family members
and friends across the Middle
East.
Im only going to give it to you if
you stop talking to them at night,
he had said to her.
Im going to start working and
buy my own phone, she had shot
back, the threat hollow but deeply
felt.
Seven months earlier, the couple
had been catapulted to a new life.
As many other nations were shun-
ning refugees, a group of Canadian
strangers had essentially adopted
the family for a year, an effort re-
peated thousands of times across
the country. In Lebanon, where the
family had fled from Syria, the chil-
dren used to work for a dollar a day
and cry as they watched others
board school buses. Now, attend-
ing school for the first time in their
lives, they treated the morning like
a race: poised to go, ready with
new backpacks and insulated
lunchboxes an hour before the bus
arrived.
The family was living through
the first refugee crisis in history in
which people without countries or
homes could communicate instan-
taneously with one another. Previ-
ous generations of refugees often
ached for any information about
relatives, but now messages
zipped back and forth around the

Outside Money Favors Clinton
At a 2-to-1 Rate Over Her Rival
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE and RACHEL SHOREY
Six years after a Supreme Court
decision opened vast new chan-
nels for money to flow into na-
tional elections, Democrats have
built the largest and best-
coordinated apparatus of outside
groups operating in the 2016 presi-
dential campaign, defying expec-
tations that conservative and cor-
porate wealth would dominate the
race.

struck a deal to buy the pay-TV
channel Starz for $4.4 billion. And
the Redstone family, which con-
trols both CBS and Viacom, has
urged the corporate siblings,
which split 10 years ago, to con-
sider reuniting.
AT&T and Time Warner said
both of their boards unanimously
approved the deal.
When Jeff and I started talk-
ing, it became clear to us very
quickly that we shared a very sim-
ilar vision, Randall L. Stephen-
son, AT&Ts chief executive, told

When Crib Monitors Double as Web Weaponry Democrat, Deft With Rifle, Tightens Senate Race
By DAVID E. SANGER

WASHINGTON When sur-
veillance cameras began popping
up in the 1970s and 80s, they were
welcomed as a crime-fighting tool,
then as a way to monitor traffic
congestion, factory floors and
even baby cribs. Later, they were
adopted for darker purposes, as
authoritarian governments like
Chinas used them to prevent chal-
lenges to power by keeping tabs
on protesters and dissidents.
But now those cameras and
many other devices that today are
connected to the internet have
been commandeered for an en-
tirely different purpose: as a
weapon of mass disruption. The

SAN JOSE, Calif. It was a
fleeting confrontation between
two strangers that might have
otherwise been forgotten.
But the tussle over a Donald J.

The rally where these two lives
collided by happenstance erupted
into one of the most violent

protesters punching, egging and
tackling Trump supporters went
viral, sparking outrage among Re-

Obama Targets VICTORY IN SIGHT,
G.O.P. Control CLINTON PRESSES
Of Statehouses
Seeking to Reduce Big
Losses in His Tenure APPEALS TO VOTE EARLY
By MONICA DAVEY
and MICHAEL D. SHEAR
FARIBAULT, Minn. For half
a dozen years, Republicans have
swept into statehouses across the
nation, winning more legislative
chambers than at any time in his-
tory and pushing states to the
right on issues such as abortion,
voting rights, labor unions and
gender identity.
But with Donald J. Trumps
stumbles raising alarms for Re-
publicans down the ballot, Dem-
ocrats hope that a resounding win
at the presidential level will trans-
late to significant gains in capitals
in Minnesota, Colorado, Nevada,
New Hampshire and beyond.
President Obama, who has en-
dured gridlock in Washington as
Republicans in the states took di-
rect aim at his vision and legacy, is
stepping in to assist more than 150
state legislative candidates, by far
his biggest effort to bolster local
Democrats since he took office.
You are going to see a level of
engagement down to the state
representative level that I dont
think youve seen too many presi-
dents engage in, said David
Simas, the director of the White
Houses Office of Political Strat-
egy and Outreach.
Still, Democrats have a long
way to go. Republicans effectively
control 68 of the nations 99 state-
house chambers, compared with
36 at the start of 2010. For years,
Democrats complained that Mr.
Obama and his political operation
paid too little attention to the
health of the party, and during his
tenure, more than 800 Democratic
state lawmakers have been voted
out of office, among the worst
losses for the party under any
president in more than 100 years.
Republicans control at least 22
capitals entirely, holding gover-

BEYOND TRUMP
With Lead in the Polls,
She Turns to Backing
Other Democrats
By ALEXANDER BURNS
and AMY CHOZICK
Hillary Clinton moved ag-
gressively on Sunday to press her
advantage in the presidential
race, urging black voters in North
Carolina to vote early and punish
Republican officeholders for sup-
porting Donald J. Trump, even as
Mr. Trumps party increasingly
concedes he is unlikely to recover
in the polls.
Aiming to turn her edge over
Mr. Trump into an unbreakable
lead, Mrs. Clinton has been plead-
ing with core Democratic constit-
uencies to get out and vote in
states where balloting has already
begun. By running up a lead well
in advance of the Nov. 8 election in
states like North Carolina and
Florida, she could virtually elimi-
nate Mr. Trumps ability to make a
late comeback.
At times, Mrs. Clinton is going
beyond seeking simply a victory
over Mr. Trump, asking voters to
strengthen her hand in Congress
and repudiate not just Mr. Trump
but also Republicans who have ac-
commodated or endorsed him.
After lashing Senator Patrick J.
Toomey of Pennsylvania in a
speech on Saturday, Mrs. Clinton
urged voters at an outdoor rally
on Sunday in Raleigh, N.C., to
elect a Democratic governor and
to turn Senator Richard M. Burr
out of office.
Calling Mr. Burrs Democratic
challenger, Deborah Ross, ex-
actly the kind of partner I need in
the United States Senate, Mrs.
Clinton upbraided Mr. Burr for

his parents house, where he has
lived for the past three years, ever
since he found himself unable to
afford a place of his own.
He is 46, an age he does not like
saying out loud because it re-
minds him how far he is from
where he had hoped to be. He had
dreamed of becoming a product
designer and starting his own
company. But art school was too
expensive and he left after a year.
Companies like Facebook and
these so-called social networking
companies here in Silicon Valley
became the economy, he said.
If your occupation is in any-
thing other than that, he added,
there are not a whole lot of jobs.
Mr. Tongs faith in the American
Dream has been shaken. But that
day, he had a ticket to see Mr.
Trump speak about making
America great again. Despite the
sweltering heat, Mr. Tong parked
in the garage at the San Jose Con-
vention Center and walked a few
blocks to the rally.
That same morning, Anthony
McBride, who is anti-Trump, woke

Liberals Want U.S. OVERHAULS

Warren to Push
Clinton to Left
Seeing a Potent Ally as
Scrutinizer in Chief
By AMY CHOZICK
and MATT FLEGENHEIMER
Senator Elizabeth Warren de-
livered a blistering rebuke of Don-
ald J. Trump on Monday, warning
him that nasty women vote and
imploring a crowd to cast ballots
for Hillary Clinton.
I dont know about you, Mrs.
Clinton said as she flashed a
thankful smile and seized the mi-
crophone from Ms. Warren at a
rally in Manchester, N.H. But I
could listen to Elizabeth Warren
go on all day.
She might have to.
With polls and early voting data
signaling that Mrs. Clinton is
likely to prevail against Mr.
Trump in two weeks, liberal
Democrats are already looking
past Election Day and relying
on Ms. Warren to become the
thorn in chief in Mrs. Clintons
side, scrutinizing her appoint-
ments and agenda.
Mrs. Clinton has vowed that if
elected she will work across the
aisle with congressional Republi-
cans, but relations with liberals,
including Ms. Warren of Massa-
chusetts and Senators Bernie
Sanders of Vermont and Sherrod
Brown of Ohio, could prove quite
contentious.

CHOKEHOLD CASE
JOLT TO STALLED INQUIRY
Step May Signal Charges
for Police Officer in
New York Death
This article is by Matt Apuzzo,
Rashbaum.
The Justice Department has re-
placed the New York team of
agents and lawyers investigating
the death of Eric Garner, officials
said, a highly unusual shake-up
that could jump-start the long-
stalled case and put the govern-
ment back on track to seek crimi-
nal charges.
Mr. Garner, 43, died in 2014 on a
Staten Island street corner, where
two police officers confronted him
and accused him of selling un-
taxed cigarettes. One of the offi-
cers, Daniel Pantaleo, was seen on
a video using a chokehold, prohi-
bited by the New York Police De-
partment, to subdue him. Mr. Gar-
ners last words, I cant breathe,
became a rallying cry for pro-
testers around the country.
Federal authorities have been
investigating whether officers vi-
olated Mr. Garners civil rights in
his fatal encounter with the police.
But the case had been slowed by a
dispute because federal
prosecutors and Federal Bureau
of Investigation officials in New
York opposed bringing charges,
while prosecutors with the Civil
Rights Division at the Justice De-
partment in Washington argued
there was clear evidence to do so.

Votes in 5 States Are Potential Turning Point for Legal Marijuana Choices Fall
By THOMAS FULLER
SAN FRANCISCO To the
red-and-blue map of American
politics, it may be time to add
green. The movement to legalize
marijuana, the countrys most
popular illicit drug, will take a gi-
ant leap on Election Day if Califor-
nia and four other states vote to al-
low recreational cannabis, as polls
suggest they may.
The map of where pot is legal
could include the entire West
Coast and a block of states reach-
ing from the Pacific to Colorado,
raising a stronger challenge to the
federal governments ban on the
drug.
In addition to California, Massa-
chusetts and Maine both have le-
galization initiatives on the ballot
next month that seem likely to
pass. Arizona and Nevada are also
voting on recreational marijuana,
with polls showing Nevada voters
evenly split.
The passage of recreational ma-
rijuana laws in Alaska, Colorado,
Oregon and Washington over the
past four years may have un-
locked the door to eventual fed-
eral legalization. But a yes vote in
California, which has an economy
the size of a large industrial coun-
trys, could blow the door open, ex-
perts say.
If were successful, its the be-
ginning of the end of the war on

Donald J. Trump, desperate for
a winning political issue in the fi-
nal two weeks of the presidential
race, fiercely attacked Hillary
Clinton on Tuesday over sharp
premium increases that will hit
some Americans covered under
the Affordable Care Act.
The rates are going through
the sky, Mr. Trump said at a rally
in Sanford, Fla., referring to dou-
ble-digit increases in battle-
ground states like North Carolina
and Iowa.
Repealing Obamacare and
stopping Hillarys health care
takeover is one of the single most
important reasons that we must
win on Nov. 8.
But Mr. Trump almost instantly
undercut his new offensive with
his tendency to muddy his central
message. He appeared uncertain
at one point about how the health
care law worked for his own
employees, and then spent only
four minutes on the rate increases
during a 45-minute speech at the
rally.
The Department of Health and
Human Services reported Mon-
day that premiums for midlevel

As ID Laws Fall, Voters See New Barriers Rise
By MICHAEL WINES
MADISON, Wis. It seemed a
clear victory for voting rights ad-
vocates in July when a federal
court invalidated much of Wiscon-
sins restrictive elections law, con-
cluding that it discriminated
against minorities by requiring
voters to produce photo identifica-
tion cards that blacks and Latinos
too often lack. The remedy was
straightforward: Henceforth, the
state was to promptly issue a cre-
dential valid as a voting ID to any
person who applied for one.
But this month when Treasure
Collins visited one of the Wiscon-
sin motor vehicle offices that issue
IDs, she found something entirely
different.
I brought everything my mom
told me I would need: my school
ID, a copy of my birth certificate,
my Social Security number, said
Ms. Collins, 18. But they told me I
needed an original copy of my
birth certificate. An original copy,
all the way from Illinois.

edly claims that the election is

The intense ambitions and un-

emerges: his deep-seated fear of

By MATTHEW ROSENBERG and JOHN MARKOFF
CAMP EDWARDS, Mass.
The small drone, with its six
whirring rotors, swept past the
replica of a Middle Eastern village
and closed in on a mosque-like
structure, its camera scanning for
targets.
No humans were remotely pi-
loting the drone, which was noth-
ing more than a machine that
could be bought on Amazon. But
armed with advanced artificial in-
telligence software, it had been
transformed into a robot that
could find and identify the half-
dozen men carrying replicas of
AK-47s around the village and
pretending to be insurgents.
As the drone descended
slightly, a purple rectangle flick-
ered on a video feed that was be-
ing relayed to engineers monitor-
ing the test. The drone had locked
onto a man obscured in the
shadows, a display of hunting
prowess that offered an eerie pre-
view of how the Pentagon plans to
transform warfare.
Almost unnoticed outside de-
fense circles, the Pentagon has
put artificial intelligence at the
center of its strategy to maintain
the United States position as the
worlds dominant military power.
It is spending billions of dollars to
develop what it calls autonomous
and semiautonomous weapons
and to build an arsenal stocked
with the kind of weaponry that un-
til now has existed only in Holly-
wood movies and science fiction,
raising alarm among scientists
and activists concerned by the im-
plications of a robot arms race.

Lobbyist Army Hired to Halt It
By CECILIA KANG

WASHINGTON From the
political right and the left, AT&Ts
$85 billion bid for Time Warner

AT&T, in addition to its billions of
dollars of capital, has another ar-
senal at its disposal: one of the
most formidable lobbying opera-

The companys list of nearly 100
registered lobbyists already on re-

the biggest donor to federal law-

more than $11.3 million in dona-

much as Verizon Communica-

As record numbers of homeless
people crowded New York Citys
shelters in December, Mayor Bill
de Blasio put Steven Banks in
charge.
Mr. Banks had joined the de Bla-
sio administration after a lifetime
of advocating and agitating for the
poor. He was seen as the person
who could head off a crisis that
was becoming emblematic of the
mayors struggle to address in-
come inequality.
But since the shake-up that put
Mr. Banks at the helm of the citys
efforts to combat a rise in home-
lessness, the shelter population
has continued to climb. He has
been criticized not only by those
predictably opposed to plans for
new shelters, but also by onetime
colleagues whom he still courts as
allies.

Donations to Foundation
Vexed Clintons Top Aides
Hacked Emails Show How Efforts to Limit
Potential Conflicts Led to Infighting
By STEVE EDER and AMY CHOZICK
In the years before Hillary Clin-
ton announced she would run
again for president, her top aides
expressed profound concerns in
internal emails about how foreign
donations to the Clinton Founda-
tion and Bill Clintons own money-
making ventures would affect
Mrs. Clintons political future.
The emails, obtained by hack-
ers and being gradually released
by WikiLeaks this month, also are
revealing how efforts to minimize
potential conflicts at the founda-
tion led to power struggles and in-
fighting among aides and Mrs.
Clintons family.
One top aide to Mr. Clinton,
Douglas J. Band, noted in an email
that the former president had re-
ceived personal income from
some foundation donors and gets

who had a leadership role at the
foundation and is now Mrs. Clin-

Republican contentions that Mrs.
Clinton performed any favors for
foundation donors.
But they do show pronounced
worries among the Clintons clos-
est advisers about the millions of
dollars coming into the founda-
tion, and to Mr. Clinton personally,
and how they could inoculate Mrs.
Clinton from criticism over it.
Do they plan to do big events

Used Cars Elude Must-See TV? Many Prefer

Recall Repairs, Not if Viewers
Imperiling Lives Call It Football
By RACHEL ABRAMS
and HIROKO TABUCHI
The outdoor lot of Mr. Z Towing
in Flushing, Queens, looked like
an automotive graveyard.
A beat-up Pontiac Grand Prix,
one of 20 towed or abandoned cars
that the New York City Depart-
ment of Finance was auctioning
on Tuesday, came with a Popeyes
fried chicken box on its dash-
board. Others were scuffed and
dented. The cars did not even
have keys.
Some of the vehicles on offer
had another serious flaw: safety
problems for which recall notices
had been issued but repairs were
never made. That included explo-
sive Takata airbags that have
been linked to 15 deaths.
The airbag defect claimed an-
other life last month, a 50-year-old
Riverside, Calif., woman whose
2001 Honda Civic had been sold
three times at auto auctions much
like the one in Queens, before her
son bought it from an acquaint-
ance. The woman, Delia Robles,
was on her way to get a flu shot
when her car collided with a
pickup truck.
The death has highlighted a
group of drivers especially vul-
nerable to dangerous vehicles:

The two most successful sports
leagues in the world, which bring
in billions of dollars in revenue,
the biggest corporate sponsors
and mammoth audiences every
game day, are now sharing an al-
together different experience:
The National Football League and
the English Premier League are
enduring startling, double-digital
declines in television viewership
this season.
Viewership through the first
seven weeks of the N.F.L. season
is down by 12 percent in the United
States while the audiences for
Premier League soccer matches
this season, which began in Au-
gust, are down by nearly 20 per-
cent in Britain.
The trends that drove viewers
away from other programs on
broadcast television in recent
years, including cord-cutting and
DVRs, had not punished the N.F.L.
and the Premier League in the
same way. Fans lots and lots of
them did not seem willing to
look away.
They are now, in numbers that
are alarming for the leagues,
which have grown used to fans
tuning in in good times and bad,
and for the networks, some of
which have spent 10-figure sums
for the rights to broadcast the
games. Viewership for N.F.L.
games on CBS on Thursday
nights, on NBC on Sunday nights
and on ESPN on Monday nights is
down by as much as 21 percent.

In Central Park in June 1983, a memorial that represented each patient who had died from AIDS.
H.I.V. Was in the U.S. Long Before Patient Zero
By DONALD G. McNEIL Jr.
In the tortuous mythology of
the AIDS epidemic, one legend
never seems to die: Patient Zero,
a.k.a. Gatan Dugas, a globe-trot-
ting, sexually insatiable French
Canadian flight attendant who
supposedly picked up H.I.V. in
Haiti or Africa and spread it to
dozens, even hundreds, of men be-
fore his death in 1984.
Mr. Dugas was once blamed for
setting off the entire American
AIDS epidemic, which trauma-
tized the nation in the 1980s and
has since killed more than 500,000
Americans. The New York Post
even described him with the head-
line The Man Who Gave Us
AIDS.
But after a new genetic analysis
of stored blood samples, bolstered
by some intriguing historical de-
tective work, scientists on
Wednesday declared him inno-
cent.
The strain of H.I.V. responsible
for almost all AIDS cases in the
United States, which was carried
from Zaire to Haiti around 1967,
spread from there to New York
City around 1971, researchers con-
cluded in the journal Nature.
ALON REININGER/CONTACT PRESS IMAGES
From New York, it spread to San
Francisco around 1976.
The new analysis shows that
Mr. Dugass blood, sampled in
1983, contained a viral strain al-
ready infecting men in New York
before he began visiting gay bars
here after being hired by Air Can-
ada in 1974.
The researchers also reported
that originally, Mr. Dugas was not
even called Patient Zero in an
early epidemiological study of
cases, he was designated Patient
O, for outside Southern Califor-
nia, where the study began. The

Tax Penalties
To Health Law
By ROBERT PEAR
WASHINGTON The archi-
tects of the Affordable Care Act
thought they had a blunt instru-
ment to force people even
young and healthy ones to buy
insurance through the laws on-
line marketplaces: a tax penalty
for those who remain uninsured.
It has not worked all that well,
and that is at least partly to blame
for soaring premiums next year
on some of the health laws insur-
ance exchanges.
The full weight of the penalty
will not be felt until April, when
those who have avoided buying
insurance will face penalties of
around $700 a person or more. But
even then that might not be
enough: For the young and
healthy who are badly needed to
make the exchanges work, it is
sometimes cheaper to pay the In-
ternal Revenue Service than an
insurance company charging
large premiums, with huge de-
ductibles.
In my experience, the penalty
has not been large enough to moti-
vate people to sign up for insur-
ance, said Christine Speidel, a tax
lawyer at Vermont Legal Aid.
Some people do sign up, espe-
cially those with low incomes who
receive the most generous subsi-
dies, Ms. Speidel said. But others,
she said, find that they cannot af-
ford insurance, even with subsi-
dies, so they grudgingly take the
penalty.

Claiming That a Protest

By COURTNEY SHERWOOD

PORTLAND, Ore. Armed
antigovernment protesters led by
Ammon and Ryan Bundy were ac-
quitted Thursday of federal con-
spiracy and weapons charges
stemming from the takeover of a
federally owned wildlife sanctu-
ary in Oregon last winter.
The surprise acquittals of all
seven defendants in Federal Dis-
trict Court was a blow to govern-
ment prosecutors, who had ar-
gued that the Bundys and five of
their followers used force and
threats of violence to occupy the
reserve. But the jury appeared
swayed by the defendants con-
tention that they were protesting
government overreach and posed
no threat to the public.
In a sign of the tension that ran
through the trial, Ammon Bundys
lawyer, Marcus R. Mumford, frus-
trated that the Bundys were not
being released, was restrained by
four United States marshals after
an outburst.
I knew that what my husband
was doing was right, but I was

crowds still mob Donald J. Trump
when he comes to town, with fans
waiting in long lines to attend his
rallies, where they eagerly jeer his
Democratic rival and holler hap-
pily at his message.
But beneath the cheering, a
new emotion is taking hold among
some Trump supporters as they
grapple with reports predicting
that he will lose the election: a
dark fear about what will happen
if their candidate is denied the
White House. Some worry that
they will be forgotten, along with
their concerns and frustrations.
Others believe the nation may be
headed for violent conflict.
Jared Halbrook, 25, of Green
Bay, Wis., said that if Mr. Trump
lost to Hillary Clinton, which he
worried would happen through a
stolen election, it could lead to an-
other Revolutionary War.
People are going to march on
the capitols, said Mr. Halbrook,
who works at a call center.
Theyre going to do whatever
needs to be done to get her out of
office, because she does not be-
long there.
If push comes to shove, he
added, and Mrs. Clinton has to go
by any means necessary, it will be
done.
Interviews with more than 50
Trump supporters at campaign
events in six states over the past
week revealed a distinct change
from the rollicking mood earlier
this year, when Mr. Trumps sur-
prising primary successes and
emergence as an unconventional
Republican standard-bearer set
off broad excitement. The crowds
appeared on edge and quick to
lash out.
And while some voters em-
phatically disputed polls suggest-
ing that Mrs. Clinton would win,
others offered an apocalyptic vi-
sion of what life would be like if
she did.

but Im scared that the country is

CONSUMERS DATA
OVER BROADBAND
WIN FOR ONLINE PRIVACY
Targeted Ads, Crucial to
AT&Ts Merger Plan,
Hit an Obstacle
By CECILIA KANG
WASHINGTON Federal offi-
cials approved broad new privacy
rules on Thursday that prevent
companies like AT&T and Com-
cast from collecting and giving out
digital information about individ-
uals such as the websites they
visited and the apps they used
in a move that creates landmark
protections for internet users.
By a 3-to-2 vote, the Federal
Communications Commission
clearly took the side of con-
sumers. The new rules require
broadband providers to obtain
permission from subscribers to
gather and give out data on their
and financial information. Cur-
rently, broadband providers can
track users unless those individu-
als tell them to stop.
It was the first time the F.C.C.
has passed such online protec-
tions. The agency made privacy
rules for phones and cable televi-
sion in the past, but high-speed in-
ternet providers, including AT&T
and Verizon Communications,
were not held to any privacy re-
strictions, even though those be-
hemoth companies have arguably
one of the most expansive views
of the habits of web users.
The passage of the rules deal a
blow to telecommunications and
cable companies like AT&T and
Comcast, which rely on such user
data to serve sophisticated tar-
geted advertising. The fallout
may affect AT&Ts $85.4 billion
bid for Time Warner, which was
announced last week, because one

resources to move more forcefully

F.C.C., said of the necessity of pro-
tecting internet users who want
more control over how companies
treat their private information. It
is not the information of the net-
work the consumer hires to de-
liver that information.
Privacy groups applauded the
new rules, which they said
brought the United States more in
line with European nations that
have moved aggressively to pro-
tect their citizens online privacy.
For the first time, the public
will be guaranteed that when they
use broadband to connect to the
internet, whether on a mobile de-
vice or personal computer, they
will have the ability to decide
whether and how much of their in-

Everything was looking up for
Hillary Clinton. She was riding
high in the polls, even seeing an
improvement on trustworthiness.
She was sitting on $153 million in
cash. At 12:37 p.m. Friday, her
aides announced that she planned
to campaign in Arizona, a state
that a Democratic presidential
candidate has carried only once
since 1948.
Twenty minutes later, October

WASHINGTON James B.
Comey, the F.B.I. director, faced a
dilemma on Thursday when depu-
ties briefed him about the discov-
ery of a new trove of emails that
might be connected to the dor-
mant inquiry into Hillary Clintons
private email server.
Mr. Comey could immediately
inform Congress about the emails,
which were found in an investiga-
tion into former Representative
Anthony D. Weiner. That unusual
step, months after Mr. Comey had
cleared Mrs. Clinton of any crimi-
nal wrongdoing in the email case,
would risk accusations that he
was unfairly harming her presi-
dential campaign less than two
weeks before the election.
Or he could delay any an-
nouncement and examine the new
emails more closely, risking criti-
cism that he had suppressed im-
portant new information if it came
out after the election, despite his
pledges of transparency in the
investigation.
Mr. Comey, a Republican ap-
pointed by President Obama
three years ago, decided that he
could live with criticism of his
judgment, aides said. So on Friday
morning, the F.B.I.s congres-

from Mrs. Clintons private server.
And while Mr. Comey said in his
letter that the emails appear to
be pertinent, the F.B.I. had not
yet examined them.
By the end of a day that brought
stinging criticism of Mr. Comey
from both Democrats and Repub-
licans, he appeared on the defen-
sive, saying in an internal email to
bureau employees that he had felt
obligated to inform Congress, and
we dont know the significance of
this newly discovered collection of
emails.

saga over Mrs. Clintons handling
of classified information came

Hillary Clinton and her allies
sprang onto a war footing on Sat-

on the F.B.I.s director, James B.
Comey, a day after he disclosed
that his agency was looking into a
potential new batch of messages
from her private email server.
Treating Mr. Comey as a threat
to her candidacy, Mrs. Clinton
took aim at the law enforcement
officer who had recommended no
criminal charges less than four
months earlier for her handling of
classified information as secre-
tary of state.
Its pretty strange to put some-

Doubts About a Promised Bounty
Genetically Modified Crops Have Failed to Lift Yields and Ease Pesticide Use
By DANNY HAKIM
LONDON The controversy over ge-
netically modified crops has long focused
on largely unsubstantiated fears that they
are unsafe to eat.
But an extensive examination by The
New York
Times indi-
UNCERTAIN HARVEST
cates that
First in an occasional series. the debate
has missed
a more basic problem genetic modifica-
tion in the United States and Canada has
not accelerated increases in crop yields or
led to an overall reduction in the use of
chemical pesticides.
The promise of genetic modification
was twofold: By making crops immune to
the effects of weedkillers and inherently
resistant to many pests, they would grow
so robustly that they would become indis-
pensable to feeding the worlds growing
population, while also requiring fewer ap-
plications of sprayed pesticides.
Twenty years ago, Europe largely re-
jected genetic modification at the same
time the United States and Canada were
embracing it. Comparing results on the
two continents, using independent data as
well as academic and industry research,
shows how the technology has fallen short
of the promise.
An analysis by The Times using United
Nations data showed that the United
States and Canada have gained no dis-
cernible advantage in yields food per
acre when measured against Western
Europe, a region with comparably mod-
ernized agricultural producers like
France and Germany. Also, a recent Na-
tional Academy of Sciences report found
that there was little evidence that the in-
troduction of genetically modified crops in
the United States had led to yield gains be-
yond those seen in conventional crops.
At the same time, herbicide use has in-
creased in the United States, even as ma-
jor crops like corn, soybeans and cotton

Mrs. Clinton believed she had put

promised to review the new infor-

ed and it is deeply troubling.
For Democrats, it was also
deeply worrying. Mrs. Clintons
advisers expressed concern that
the F.B.I.s renewed attention to
emails relating to the nominee
would turn some voters against
her, hurt party candidates in com-
petitive House and Senate races,
and complicate efforts to win over
undecided Americans in the final
days of the election.

Syrians Stark Choice: Doom or the Green Bus Big Red Flags
By ANNE BARNARD
and HWAIDA SAAD
BEIRUT, Lebanon The lime-
green buses once ferried Syrians
to school, work and dates at Da-
mascus cafes. Now they pull up at
moments of defeat, when rebel
fighters and civilians, besieged
and bombarded, give up their ter-
ritory to government forces and
board the vehicles en route to an
uncertain future.
The buses, once a benign, even
beloved feature of the urban land-
scape, have become a signature of
the Syrian governments starve-
or-surrender strategy. In recent
days, government warplanes
dropped fliers on the rebel-held
districts of Aleppo, offering a
250,000 people trapped in that
strategic city: doom, repre-
sented by a photo of a bloody body,
or redemption, in the form of a
green bus.
Images of the buses are every-
where: on state television reports
and pro-government websites cel-
ebrating the evacuations, and on
opposition videos mourning what
they call deportations. Women

They cry, chant defiantly or stare
into space as they leave areas that
have long symbolized revolt
against President Bashar al-As-
sad, like the recently emptied Da-
mascus suburb of Daraya.
Riders are usually offered a
choice between two destinations,
but as with so many aspects of the
bloody and chaotic Syrian civil
war, both options are bad. They
can take the green buses to gov-
ernment territory, where many
fear arrest and conscription, or to
another rebel-held area, where
they face continued government
airstrikes like the ones that hit a
school Wednesday and killed 22
children in Idlib Province.

How the Clinton Emails
Returned to the Spotlight
With a vague statement of 166 words, the F.B.I.
sent a shockwave through a presidential race not
short on drama: Thousands of emails that may
have classified information were
found on the computer of Anthony D.
Weiner, whose estranged wife, Huma
Abedin, right, is an aide to Hillary
Clinton.
Questions cascaded: from the
campaign of Mrs. Clinton, who polls
show is leading and who has accused
the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey,
right, of trying to influence the out-
come; from her opponent, Donald J. Trump, who
has seized on the discovery to renew his claims
that Mrs. Clinton committed a crime; and from
voters, who have already begun casting ballots.

Public Pressure Builds
for Swift Resolution CLINTONS GROUND GAME
This article is by Matt Apuzzo, Mi-
chael S. Schmidt and Adam Gold-
man.
WASHINGTON Federal in-
vestigators have obtained a war-
rant to begin searching a large
cache of emails belonging to a top
aide to Hillary Clinton, law en-
forcement officials said on Sun-
day, as prosecutors and F.B.I.
agents scrambled under intense
public pressure to assess their sig-
nificance before Election Day.
It remains unclear whether
they can finish their work by then.
The process has begun, a fed-
eral law enforcement official said.
The hurried pace at the Justice
Department and the F.B.I. raises
the prospect that law enforcement
officials will again publicly dis-
cuss a continuing investigation in-
volving a presidential candidate
in the final days of the campaign.
The F.B.I. director, James B.
Comey, has faced extraordinary
criticism since he sent an ambigu-
ous letter to congressional leaders
telling them that agents had dis-
covered new emails.
Agents in an unrelated investi-
gation of Anthony D. Weiner, the
disgraced former congressman,
found the emails, belonging to his
estranged wife, Huma Abedin, the
aide to Mrs. Clinton, this month.
That prompted a renewed interest
among agents who had investi-
gated Mrs. Clinton for her use of a
private email server as secretary
of state. That investigation cen-
tered on whether Mrs. Clinton or
her aides had mishandled classi-
fied information. Prosecutors con-
cluded that case in July without
bringing charges.
A federal law enforcement offi-
cial said agents had discovered
hundreds of thousands of emails
on Mr. Weiners computer, but in-
vestigators expected to examine
only part of the total. Agents will
have probable cause to search
only the messages related to the
Clinton investigation. Some of Ms.
Abedins emails passed through
Mrs. Clintons private server, offi-
cials said, which means there is a
high likelihood that the F.B.I. has
already read them.
Officials cautioned that there
was no evidence to date that

ton nor her aides should be
charged. They said it was possible
that the review would turn up
nothing, but said investigators felt

IN SWING STATES
Early Balloting May Be
Blunting Effect of an
October Surprise
By JEREMY W. PETERS
and MATT FLEGENHEIMER
Hillary Clinton has established
a slim edge over Donald J. Trump
in early-voter turnout in several
vital swing states, pressing her
longstanding advantages in state-
level organization and potentially
mitigating the fallout from her
campaigns latest scrap with the
F.B.I.
Even as Democrats continued
to reel from revived questions
about Mrs. Clintons use of a pri-
vate email server as secretary of
state a jolt delivered 11 days be-
fore the election in an abstruse let-
ter from the F.B.I. director, James
B. Comey turnout tallies and in-
terviews with dozens of early
voters suggest that even a vintage
October surprise may pack less
of a punch than it once did.
In a race between two deeply
polarizing candidates, opinions
appear to have been cemented
weeks if not months ago for most
voters. And the contest is well un-
derway in some of the most impor-
tant battlegrounds.
At least 21 million people have
voted so far across the country. In
the states that are most likely to
decide the election among them
Florida, Colorado and Nevada
close to a quarter of the electorate
has already cast ballots. While
their votes will not be counted un-
til Election Day, registered Dem-
ocrats are outperforming Republi-
cans in key demographics and ur-
ban areas there and in North Car-
olina, where extensive in-person
voting began late last week and
which has emerged as one of the
most closely contested battle-
grounds for the White House and
control of the Senate.
Now, the salient question ap-
pears to be whether an unfore-
seen plot twist in the campaigns
final days can still upend an elec-
tion that is already over for mil-
lions of voters.
Though Democrats can take
solace from the fact that their
large organizational advantage
has supplied a cushion when they
need it most, the race is still ex-
ceedingly close. And the latest

JUDGE HALTS DEAL
ON SURVEILLANCE
BY POLICE DEPT.
MUSLIMS RIGHTS CITED
Ruling That Settlement
in New York Lawsuit
Lacks Oversight
By MATT APUZZO
and ADAM GOLDMAN
A federal judge has rejected the
settlement of a lawsuit stemming
from the New York Police Depart-
ments surveillance of Muslims,
saying the proposed deal does not
provide enough oversight of an
agency that he said had shown a
systemic inclination to ignore
rules protecting free speech and
religion.
In January, Mayor Bill de Bla-
sio, a Democrat, agreed to appoint
a civilian lawyer to monitor the
departments counterterrorism
activities as a means of settling
two lawsuits accusing the city of
violating the rights of Muslims
over the past decade.
But the judge, Charles S. Haight
Jr., in an opinion published on
Monday, said the settlement did
not go far enough for an agency
that had become accustomed to
disregarding court orders.
The proposed role and powers
of the civilian representative,
Judge Haight wrote, do not fur-
nish sufficient protection from po-
tential violations of the constitu-
tional rights of those law-abiding
Muslims and believers in Islam
who live, move and have their be-
ing in this city.
The decision means lawyers for

His point: The nations leading

Donald J. Trump proudly ac-
knowledges he did not pay a dime
in federal income taxes for years
on end. He insists he merely ex-
ploited tax loopholes legally avail-

he says Hillary Clinton failed to

she ever try to change those laws
so I couldnt use them? Mr.
Trump asked during a campaign

But newly obtained documents
show that in the early 1990s, as he
scrambled to stave off financial
ruin, Mr. Trump avoided reporting
hundreds of millions of dollars in
taxable income by using a tax
avoidance maneuver so legally
dubious his own lawyers advised
him that the Internal Revenue
Service would most likely declare
it improper if he were audited.
Thanks to this one maneuver,
which was later outlawed by Con-

dollars in federal personal income
taxes. It is impossible to know for

The New York Times said Mr.
Trumps tax avoidance maneuver,
conjured from ambiguous provi-

rulings, clearly pushed the edge of
the envelope of what tax laws per-

Steven M. Rosenthal, a senior fel-
low at the nonpartisan Tax Policy
Center who helped draft tax legis-

the maneuver trampled a core
tenet of American tax policy by

Experts Say China Tightens Its Grip, and Glaxo Pays a Price
Vaping Alarm
Is Overdone
By SABRINA TAVERNISE
WASHINGTON A decade af-
ter electronic cigarettes were in-
troduced in the United States, use
has flattened, sales have slowed
and, this fall, NJoy, once one of the
countrys biggest e-cigarette
manufacturers, filed for bank-
ruptcy.
It is quite a reversal for an in-
vention once billed as the biggest
chance to end smoking as we
know it and take aim at the coun-
trys largest cause of preventable
death. Use of the devices is slump-
ing because they are not as good
as cigarettes at giving a hit of nico-
tine. Dealing another strike
against them, the countrys top
public health authorities have
sent an unwavering message: Va-
ping is dangerous.
The warning is meant to stop
people who have never smoked
particularly children from
starting to vape. But a growing
number of scientists and policy
makers say the relentless portray-
al of e-cigarettes as a public health
menace, however well inten-
tioned, is a profound disservice to
the 40 million American smokers
who could benefit from the de-
vices. Smoking kills more than
480,000 Americans a year.
We may well have missed, or
are missing, the greatest opportu-
nity in a century, said David B.
Abrams, senior scientist at the
Truth Initiative, an antismoking
group. The unintended conse-
quence is more lives are going to
be lost.
American public health ex-
perts, led by the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention, have
long been suspicious of e-cig-
arettes. The possible risks of vap-
ing are vast, officials warn, includ-
ing the potential to open a danger-
ous new door to addiction for
youth. Scientists will not know the
full effect for years, so for now,
they caution, be wary.

The Glaxo case, which resulted
in record penalties of nearly $500
million and a string of guilty pleas
by executives, upended the power
dynamic in China, unveiling an in-
creasingly assertive government
determined to tighten its grip over
multinationals. In the three years
since the arrests, the Chinese gov-
ernment, under President Xi Jin-
ping, has unleashed the full force
of the countrys authoritarian sys-
tem, as part of a broader agenda of
economic nationalism.
Driven by the quest for profits,
many multinationals pushed the
limits in China, lulled into a sense
of complacency by lax officials
who eagerly welcomed overseas
money. Glaxo took it to the ex-
treme, allowing corruption to
fester.
When bribery accusations sur-
faced, the company followed the

African-Americans are failing
to vote at the robust levels they
did four years ago in several
states that could help decide the
presidential election, creating a
vexing problem for Hillary Clin-
ton as she clings to a deteriorating
lead over Donald J. Trump with
Election Day just a week away.
As tens of millions of Americans
cast ballots in what will be the
largest-ever mobilization of early
voters in a presidential election,
the numbers have started to point
toward a slump that many
Democrats feared might material-
ize without the nations first black
president on the ticket.
The reasons for the decline ap-
pear to be both political and logis-
tical, with lower voter enthusiasm
and newly enacted impediments
to voting at play. In North Car-
olina, where a federal appeals
court accused Republicans of an
almost surgical assault on black
turnout and Republican-run elec-
tion boards curtailed early-voting
sites, black turnout is down 16 per-
cent. White turnout, however, is
up 15 percent. Democrats are
planning an aggressive final push,
including a visit by President
Obama to the state on Wednesday.
But in Florida, which extended
early voting after long lines left
some voters waiting for hours in
2012, African-Americans share of
the electorate that has gone to the
polls in person so far has de-
creased, to 15 percent today from
25 percent four years ago.
The problems for Democrats do
not end there. In Ohio, which also
cut back its early voting, voter
participation in the heavily
Democratic areas near Cleveland,
Columbus and Toledo has been
down, though the Clinton cam-
paign said it was encouraged by a

By Fudging Math, Trump Takes
His Towers to Greater Heights
By VIVIAN YEE
Of the many rivals Donald J.
Trump has accumulated over four
decades in business and, now,
presidential politics, one of the
earliest was a New York City sky-
scraper with the boldness to stand
taller than his own.
In 1979, as Mr. Trump inspected
a model of the black-and-gold
Fifth Avenue high-rise that would
come to serve as his home, office,
fortress and personal monument,
he could find only one flaw to spoil
the moment: the General Motors
building, which, in real life, was 41
feet higher and a few blocks away
from the future Trump Tower.
My building looks a little
small, he said, according to Nor-
man Brosterman, the model mak-
ers assistant at the time. Assured
the scale was accurate, Mr. Trump

WASHINGTON The F.B.I.
and Justice Department faced a
hard decision in two investiga-
tions this past summer that had
the potential to rock the presiden-
tial election. The first case in-
volved Donald J. Trumps cam-
paign chairman, Paul Manafort,
and secretive business dealings in
Ukraine. The second focused on
Hillary Clintons relationships
with donors to
her family
foundation.
At the urg-
ing of the Jus-

ment, the
F.B.I. agreed
not to issue

steps that
would make
the cases public so close to the
election, according to federal law
enforcement officials.
Against this backdrop, the deci-
sion of the F.B.I. director, James B.
Comey, to send a letter to Con-
gress last week about a renewed
inquiry concerning Mrs. Clintons
emails is not just a departure from
longstanding policy; it has
plunged the F.B.I. and the Justice
Department directly into the elec-
tion, precisely what Justice offi-
cials were trying to avoid.
Mr. Comeys letter, which he
sent over the objections of the Jus-
tice Department, stirred outrage
across party lines. It unleashed a

CLEVELAND If you are go-
ing to endure years no, genera-
tions of futility and heartbreak,
then when you do finally win a
championship, you might as well
make it a memorable one.
The Chicago Cubs did just that,
shattering their 108-year champi-
onship drought in epic fashion:
with an 8-7, 10-inning victory over
the Cleveland Indians in Game 7
of the World Series that began on
Wednesday night, carried into
Thursday morning and seemed to
end all too soon.
After the Indians rallied with
three runs in the eighth inning, in-
cluding a two-run thunderbolt of a
home run by Rajai Davis off closer
Aroldis Chapman, and then a brief
rain delay, the Cubs pushed two
runs across in the 10th on Ben Zo-
brists double and Miguel Mon-
teros single.
The Indians got a run back in
the bottom of the inning when Da-
vis singled home Brandon Guyer,
who had walked with two out
against Carl Edwards Jr. But Mike
Montgomery, the Cubs fifth
pitcher of the night, got Michael
Martinez to hit a slow roller to
third base. Kris Bryant scooped it
up and threw to first baseman An-
thony Rizzo, and the Cubs poured
out of the dugout and mobbed one
another in the center of the dia-
mond.
The heart-stopping end to the
series was the Cubs third straight
victory over the Indians, allowing
them to become the first team to
rally from a three-games-to-one
deficit in the Series since Kansas
City in 1985, and the first to do it on
the road since Pittsburgh in 1979.
But they did not so much beat
the Indians as survive them.

Trump Holds PRESIDENT FAULTS
Strong Appeal F.B.I. AND FIRES UP
With Veterans
Praised for His Blunt
Talk on Wars Costs CRITICIZES EMAIL LEAKS
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE
The roster of retired military of-
ficers endorsing Hillary Clinton in
September glittered with decora-
tion and rank. One former general
led the American surge in Anbar,
one of the most violent provinces
in Iraq. Another commanded
American-led allied forces bat-
tling the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Yet another trained the first Iraqis
to combat Islamic insurgents in
their own country.
But as Election Day ap-
proaches, many veterans are in-
stead turning to Donald J. Trump,
a businessman who avoided the
Vietnam draft and has boasted of
gathering foreign policy wisdom
by watching television shows.
Even as other voters abandon
Mr. Trump, veterans remain
among his most loyal supporters,
an unlikely connection forged by
the widening gulf they feel from
other Americans.
After 15 years at war, many who
served in Iraq or Afghanistan are
proud of their service but ex-
hausted by its burdens. They dis-
trust the political class that re-
shaped their lives and are frus-
trated by how little their fellow cit-
izens seem to understand about
their experience.
Perhaps most strikingly, they
welcome Mr. Trumps blunt at-
tacks on Americas entangle-
ments overseas.
When we jump into wars with-
out having a real plan, things like
Vietnam and things like Iraq and
Afghanistan happen, said
William Hansen, a former Marine
who served two National Guard
tours in Iraq. This is 16 years.
This is longer than Vietnam.
In small military towns in Cali-
fornia and North Carolina, veter-
ans of all eras cheer Mr. Trumps
promises to fire officials at the De-
partment of Veterans Affairs. His
attacks on political correctness
evoke their frustrations with tor-
tured rules of engagement crafted
to serve political, not military,
ends. In Mr. Trumps forceful as-
sertion of strength, they find a
balm for wounds that left them
broken and torn.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. Presi-
dent Obama threw the power of
the White House behind Hillary
Clinton on Wednesday. He faulted
how the F.B.I. director, James B.
Comey, handled new emails relat-
ed to the investigation into Mrs.
Clintons private server, and then
shouted out to college students
here in a pivotal battleground
state that it was crucial that they
vote because the fate of the world
is teetering.
Mr. Obamas comments about
Mr. Comey, broadcast early in the
day as recent polls showed a tight-
ening race, were striking for a
president who has insisted he
does not comment on F.B.I. inves-
tigations. But Mr. Obama ap-
peared to be doing exactly that in
implicitly criticizing Mr. Comeys
decision to send a vague letter last
week to Congress and by exten-
sion, the public informing law-
makers about a discovery of new
emails related to Mrs. Clintons
use of a private server as secre-
tary of state.

Democrats are already strongly
confident of victory in three of

fourth, North Carolina, is likely to
break their way as well. Added to
the partys daunting advantage in
the Electoral College, these states
have impeded Mr. Trumps path to
amassing the 270 electoral votes
needed to win, limiting his ability
to exploit Mrs. Clintons late vul-
nerabilities and forcing him to

British Court
Muddles Plan
To Leave E.U.
By STEPHEN CASTLE
and STEVEN ERLANGER
LONDON The British gov-
ernments plan for leaving the Eu-
ropean Union was thrown into un-
certainty on Thursday after the
High Court ruled that Parliament
must give its approval before the
process can begin.
The courts decision seemed
likely to slow, but not halt, the
British exit from the bloc, a step
approved by nearly 52 percent of
voters in a June referendum.
Nevertheless, the courts deci-
sion was a significant blow to
Prime Minister Theresa May. She
had planned to begin the legal
steps for leaving the European
Union by the end of March, and to
prepare for talks over Britains
exit mostly behind closed doors.
If the courts ruling is upheld
the government immediately
vowed to appeal that plan
would be thrown into disarray, an-
alysts said.
Mrs. May would be forced to
work with Parliament and con-
sider its competing priorities for
Britains future. Specifically, she
would have to give it a detailed
strategy for negotiating the
British departure, or Brexit. She to Wrigley Field for the 1945
has adamantly resisted doing so,

UNEMPLOYMENT JURORS CONVICT

HITS 2008 LOW; 2 CHRISTIE ALLIES
WAGES INCREASE IN LANE CLOSINGS
161,000 ADDITIONAL JOBS GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES

Economists Are Upbeat, Both Vow to Appeal

Even if Presidential Governor Again Says
Candidates Arent He Had No Role

By PATRICIA COHEN By KATE ZERNIKE

The last time the unemploy-
ment rate was running this low
was in early 2008. But by Election
Day that year, the economy was in
sad shape and getting worse by
every measure. Hundreds of thou-
sands of jobs were vanishing,
housing prices were plunging,
paychecks were shrinking and
credit was tight.
On Friday, in the last economic
snapshot before voters go to the
polls, the government reported
that the jobless rate fell to 4.9 per-
cent in October, matching the lev-
el in February 2008. Today,
though, most economic bell-
wethers are showing improve-
ment. Particularly encouraging
was the fact that hourly wages
rose 2.8 percent compared with a
year ago, the best gain in more
than seven years.
The economys escalator may
be slower and narrower than
Americans expect, but it is now
going up instead of down.
The economy set three postre-
cession records this month, said
Jed Kolko, chief economist at the
online jobs website Indeed, citing
solid wage growth, a drop in the
number of discouraged and un-
deremployed workers, and a re-
turn of prime-age men and wom-
en to the labor force. These are
all signs that the labor market
continues to strengthen and is at
its strongest point since the cri-
sis, he said.
While the presidential candi-
dates have lately been talking
about almost everything but the
economy, the new Labor Depart-
ment report refocused attention
at least briefly on the crucial
bread-and-butter issue: jobs.
All the upbeat assessments
from economists on the right and
left, though, were strikingly at
odds with the gloomy portrait fre-
quently drawn at election rallies.
Donald J. Trump, who was pro-
pelled to the top of the Republican
ticket in part by nagging eco-
nomic anxiety and voter anger
among the white working class,
doubled down on the negatives on
Friday. At a rally in New Hamp-
shire, Mr. Trump labeled the latest
jobs report an absolute disaster,
and said nobody believes the
numbers anyway.
Hillary Clinton has emphasized
President Obamas success in dig-
ging the country out of the reces-
sion, pointing to 73 consecutive
months of job growth in the pri-
vate sector. We got some good
news this morning, she said on
Friday at Heinz Field in Pitts-
burgh. I believe that our econ-
omy is poised to really take off and
thrive.
Yet Mrs. Clinton, too, acknowl-
edges wide pockets of economic
discontent. We need to make
sure the economy is working for
everyone, she added, not just

corporate lobbying has reached
into one of the most obscure cor-

people charged with running elec-

The targeting of secretaries of

corporate-funded weekend out-
ings and secret meetings with in-
dustry lobbyists reflects an in-
tense focus on often overlooked
ballot questions, which the secre-
taries frequently help write.
The ballot initiatives are meant
to give voters a direct voice on pol-
icy issues such as the minimum
wage and the environment. But
corporate and other special inter-
ests are doing their best to build
close ties with the secretaries be-

Hillary Clinton stood beneath the
strobe lights, her back to the palm
trees hoarse, but hiding it well,
at least for a moment.
It was the third event of an end-
less Tuesday, well after 10 p.m.,
and an occasion, again, for Mrs.
Clintons ritual plea: begging
Americans to care enough about
themselves to vote for her.
Any issue you care about
anything is at stake, she began.
I get sometimes a little over-
whelmed by the fact. . . .
She lost the crowd midsen-
tence. Something was stirring on
the lawn in front of her, a man with
a neon green sign and a chant to
match: Bill Clinton is a rapist!
She glared back at him, raising
her index finger and thinking.
This is Mrs. Clintons view the
week before Election Day: a final
national slide show as she trudges
to the White House, or to the most
stunning loss in modern Ameri-
can political history, produced
amid the blur of Hello, (Insert
City Here)! rallies and bewilder-
ing political headaches that have
consumed her final sprint.
Perhaps on a different day, at a
different hour, she would have re-
sisted the urge to engage. She had
seen such protests before and

NEWARK A federal jury con-
victed two former allies of Gov.
Chris Christie on Friday of all
charges stemming from a bizarre
scheme to close access lanes at
the George Washington Bridge to
punish a New Jersey mayor who
declined to endorse the gover-
nors re-election.
Though only the two
defendants, Bridget Anne Kelly
and Bill Baroni, were tried in the
so-called Bridgegate case, the
scandal surrounding the lane clos-
ings in September 2013 left Mr.
Christie deeply wounded. It
helped cripple his presidential
candidacy this year and tarnished
his reputation as a key surrogate
in Donald J. Trumps Republican
presidential campaign.
With the trial set to unfold in the
weeks before Election Day, aides
to Mr. Trump persuaded him not
to pick Mr. Christie as his vice-
presidential nominee. The gover-
nor now leads Mr. Trumps transi-
tion team, but the Trump cam-
paign said after the verdict on Fri-
day that Mr. Christie had

not make appearances in New
Hampshire on Saturday.
Testimony at the trial indicated
that Mr. Christie knew about the
lane closings as they were causing
major traffic jams in Fort Lee,
N.J., over five days, and that he
was deeply involved in covering
up the plot even as he continued to
insist as he did again after the
verdict was announced that he
knew nothing about it until
months after it was over.
Throughout the seven-week
trial, it often seemed as if both the
government and the defense were
prosecuting Mr. Christie in absen-
tia. Witnesses laid bare a relent-
lessly political operation in the
governors office and portrayed
him as a fiery-tempered leader
who gave orders to freeze out ene-
mies and once threw a water bot-
tle at Ms. Kelly, who was a deputy
chief of staff to Mr. Christie, dur-
ing a meeting.
Mr. Christies aides began to use
government resources to secure
political endorsements in 2010, the
year he entered office, with an eye
toward winning not just a broad
re-election victory, but also a pres-
idential race six years away. The

Senate Control
Up for Grabs
Tight and Costly Battle
in New Hampshire
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
ROCHESTER, N.H. Maggie
Hassan, the Democratic governor
of New Hampshire now running
for the Senate, squeezed by an old-
er woman grimly examining some
potatoes at a grocery store here
last week. I hope youll consider
me, Ms. Hassan said. The wom-
an, still glowering, grumbled, I
might.
In half a dozen states, similar
sentiments prevail. Democrats,
who just two weeks ago expressed
confidence they would retake con-
trol of the Senate, are now far less
certain, and their fates may well
be tied to the rancorous presiden-
tial race and the downbeat atti-
tude of voters that contest has cre-
ated.
Many thought Hillary Clintons
once-clear lead in New Hamp-
shire would all but ensure a vic-
tory for Ms. Hassan over the Sen-
ate Republican incumbent, Kelly
Ayotte, who won her seat in a 2010
Tea Party-infused election.
But this Eastern cornerstone
for Democrats appears to be
cracking; Mrs. Clinton plans to
make a hastily scheduled dash to
Manchester on Sunday. Ms. Has-
san and Ms. Ayotte, both well
known to voters here, are on a des-
perate hunt for every last vote in
the states grocery stores, tav-
erns, Rotary clubs, Burger King
drive-throughs and even town
dumps, in one of the nations tight-
est and most expensive Senate
races.
Democrats hopes had risen
largely because of Donald J.

and an overall disorganized Re-

voters. Now, at least four races

The world, too, is waiting anx-

In India, right-wing Hindus
who pray at their temple for Don-
ald J. Trump to defeat Islamic
extremism. In Saudi Arabia, a
crown prince who engaged in a
Twitter war with Mr. Trump.
(Dopey Prince, Mr. Trump
called him.) In Mexico, econo-
mists who predict that the peso
will plummet if Mr. Trump wins. In
Japan, a generation that has taken

for granted, but worries that it
might no longer be able to do so.
But regardless of who wins, af-
ter a presidential campaign

lence, allegations of corruption
and fears of voter fraud, Americas
image stands tarnished in the
eyes of its own people and the

rarely has its political system
been subjected to such wide-

Blacks Seek Prosecutor Seats If Clinton Moves to Oval Office,
After High-Profile Shootings Aides Baggage May Be Heavy
By YAMICHE ALCINDOR
African-American lawyers, ra-
cial justice groups and the liberal
hedge fund billionaire George
Soros are combining forces to try
to elect more black prosecutors in
response to what they see as an in-
sufficient response by incumbent
district attorneys to the killings of
black people by the police.
The effort faces steep demo-
graphic and institutional obsta-
cles that have kept the offices of
elected prosecutors those de-
ciding whether to seek criminal
charges against the officers re-
sponsible among the whitest re-

Only a few dozen out of more
than 2,300 elected prosecutors na-
tionwide are African-American,

liberal groups. Even the National

In the final sprint of her cam-

ful of advisers who have spent
their careers protecting her inter-

A BOOST FOR CLINTON
Trump, Maintaining a
Brisk Pace, Concedes

By JONATHAN MARTIN
PEMBROKE PINES, Fla.
Hispanic voters in key states
surged to cast their ballots in the
final days of early voting this
weekend, a demonstration of po-
litical power that lifted Hillary
Clintons presidential hopes and
threatened to block Donald J.
Trumps path to the White House.
In Florida, energized by the
groundswell of Latino support
and hoping to drive even more
voters to the polls, Mrs. Clinton
visited a handful of immigrant
communities on Saturday and ral-
lied Democrats in a town filled
with Hispanic and Caribbean mi-
grants.

mentum, large numbers of people

the stage, she greeted voters at a

Indeed, even as she fought a
rear-guard action to defend a se-
ries of more heavily white states

competitive, making trips to
Michigan, Pennsylvania and New

peared to find a growing advan-

When Donald J. Trump was
building casinos in Atlantic City
in the 1990s, he spoke of his
dream of bringing jobs and de-
velopment to the hard-luck com-
munity. In the end, after all the
bankruptcies, layoffs and stiffed
contractors, it was Mr. Trump
who walked away with tens of
millions of dollars in manage-
ment fees and huge tax de-
ductions that may have helped
him avoid paying personal in-

decades.
When Mr. Trump announced
the founding of Trump Univer-

The Storm Below the Calm:
An Inside View of Trumps Last Stand
This article is by Maggie Haberman, Ashley

Donald J. Trump is not sleeping much these
days.
Aboard his gold-plated jumbo jet, the Republi-
can nominee does not like to rest or be alone
with his thoughts, insisting that aides stay up
and keep talking to him. He prefers the sooth-
ing, whispery voice of his son-in-law.
He requires constant assurance that his can-
didacy is on track. Look at that crowd! he ex-
claimed a few days ago as he flew across

he claimed were thousands of people waiting for

F.B.I. SAYS REVIEW
CLEARS CLINTON
IN EMAIL INQUIRY
Director Tells Congress Many Messages
in New Trove Were Duplicates
This article is by Matt Apuzzo, Mi-
chael S. Schmidt and Adam Gold-
man.
WASHINGTON The F.B.I.
director, James B. Comey, told
Congress on Sunday that he had
seen no evidence in a recently dis-
covered trove of emails to change
his conclusion that Hillary Clinton
should face no charges over her
handling of classified information.
Mr. Comeys announcement,
just two days before the election,
was an effort to clear the cloud of
suspicion he had publicly placed
over her presidential campaign
late last month when he alerted
Congress that the F.B.I. would ex-
amine the emails.
Based on our review, we have
not changed our conclusions that
we expressed in July with respect
to Secretary Clinton, Mr. Comey
wrote in a letter to the leaders of
several congressional commit-
tees. He said agents had reviewed
all communications to and from
Mrs. Clinton in the new trove from
when she was secretary of state.
The letter was a dramatic final
twist in a tumultuous nine days for
both Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Comey,
who drew widespread criticism
for announcing that the F.B.I. had
discovered new emails that might
As Clock Ticks Down, Rivals
Make Urgent Pleas to Vote
By ALEXANDER BURNS
They campaigned urgently,
even frantically, at airfields and
arenas, on a college campus in
Wisconsin and in a Philadelphia
church. Hillary Clinton and Sena-
tor Tim Kaine, their prospects
brightened by news that the F.B.I.
had found no new troublesome
emails in a review of Mrs. Clin-
tons private server, pleaded with
Americans on Sunday to get out
and vote as if their very way of life
were on the line.
Scrambling across the electoral
map, Donald J. Trump and his run-
ning mate, Gov. Mike Pence, ad-
dressed supporters in darker and
even graver terms, with Mr.
Trump casting the election as a
now-or-never moment for his
brand of right-wing nationalism.
Surpassing the anxious entreat-
Baker Kinney who helped orga-
nize a campaign, EndRapeSOL,
and rallies as part of a movement
that this fall eliminated that
states statute of limitations for
rape altogether.
The seven women live in differ-
ent places and have different
lives. But they were all stirred to
activism, they say, by a shared his-
tory: They all say they were
sexually assaulted by Bill Cosby.
And in each case, by the time they
decided to come forward, many
years after they say they were at-
tacked, their ability to press for
criminal charges was precluded
by a statute of limitations.

be relevant to its investigation of
Mrs. Clinton, which ended in July
with no charges. That criticism of
Mr. Comey from both parties is
likely to persist after the election.
While the new letter was clear
as it related to Mrs. Clinton, Mr.
Comeys message was otherwise
vague. He did not say that agents
had completed their review of the
emails, or that they were aban-
doning the matter in regard to her
aides. But federal law enforce-
ment officials said that they con-
sidered the review of emails relat-
ed to Mrs. Clintons server com-
plete, and that Mr. Comeys letter
was intended to convey that.
One senior law enforcement of-
ficial said that as recently as Fri-
day, it was not clear whether the
review would be completed by
Election Day. But after days of
working in shifts around the clock,
teams of counterintelligence ag-
ents and technology specialists at
the bureaus headquarters in
Washington finished their exami-
nation of the thousands of emails.
Officials had decided to make
their decision public as soon as
they had reached it, to avoid any
suggestion that they were sup-
pressing information.

An Energized Obama Stumps for Clinton, and His Own Legacy
By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
and GARDINER HARRIS
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Presi-
dent Obama was feeling a little
sentimental.
His shirt sleeves rolled up, his
vowels slipping off the ends of his
words, his last day on the cam-
paign trail finally here, Mr. Obama
soaked up an unseasonably warm
autumn sun on a baseball field at
the University of Michigan on
Monday, and drank in the energy
of his political finale.
DAMON WINTER/THE NEW YORK TIMES
Weve got one more day, Michi-
gan one more day, he said, gaz-
ing out over a crowd of more than
9,000 at midday. But Mr. Obama
was not quite ready for it to be
over.
This is gonna be my last he
caught himself probably my
last day of campaigning for a
while.
For Donald J. Trump and Hilla-
ry Clinton, Mondays cross-coun-
try travels were all about tomor-
row. For Mr. Obama, his travels
here to Michigan, and then to New
Hampshire and Philadelphia,
were part victory lap and part
nostalgia tour, as he was accompa-
nied on Air Force One by some of
his longest-serving aides, and was
ushered in and out of rallies by the
same U2 and Bruce Springsteen
anthems that were the sound-
tracks of his campaigns.
But his core mission was to im-
plore voters across the country to
rally behind Mrs. Clinton on Tues-
day, or see the values and ideals
that fueled his rise and powered
his agenda defeated. So Mr.
Obama stumped on Monday with
the fervor of a man battling to pre-
serve his legacy and with the joy
of one who has watched his ap-
proval ratings tick higher as the
presidential races tenor has sunk
ever lower, savoring the almost
palpable sense at Mrs. Clintons
rallies that Americans will miss
him when he is gone.
Whatever credibility Ive
earned after eight years as presi-
dent, Mr. Obama said, I am ask-
ing you to trust me on this one.

Hillary Clinton and Donald J.
Trump hopscotched from Penn-

Michigan on Monday in the final,
frenzied hours of the presidential
campaign, offering clashing clos-
ing arguments as the sprawling
map of the United States was re-
duced to a string of must-win
states.
Accompanied by rock stars, ex-
presidents, old friends and their
grown children, the Democratic
and Republican nominees plead-
ed with voters to end a traumatic
campaign with an emphatic en-
dorsement of their visions for the
country.
In Philadelphia, Mrs. Clinton
drew the biggest crowd of her 19-
month campaign to the vast plaza
in front of Independence Hall,
where Bruce Springsteen, the bal-
ladeer of working-class America,
rhapsodized about her values and
the candidate portrayed herself as
a protector of freedom and equal-
ity.
Tomorrow we face the test of
our time. What will we vote for
not just against? Mrs. Clinton
asked. Every issue you care
about is at stake.
She concluded with an appeal to
those who have waited decades

whose eight years in that office
placed her in the middle of some of
the most divisive episodes of the

Her sister, Margaret Hurchalla,
said the cause was complications
of Parkinsons disease, which was
diagnosed in November 1995,
while Ms. Reno was still in office.
Ms. Renos tenure as attorney
general was bracketed by two ex-

raid on the compound of a reli-
gious cult in Waco, Tex., in 1993
and, in 2000, the governments

JERUSALEM Donald J.
Trumps stunning election vic-
tory on Tuesday night rippled
way beyond the nations bound-

order that prevailed for decades
and raising profound questions
about Americas place in the
world.
For the first time since before
World War II, Americans chose a
president who promised to re-
verse the internationalism prac-
ticed by predecessors of both
parties and to build walls both
physical and metaphorical. Mr.
Trumps win foreshadowed an
America more focused on its own
affairs while leaving the world to
take care of itself.
The outsider revolution that
propelled him to power over the
Washington establishment of
both political parties also re-

MAN IN THE NEWS
By ALEXANDER BURNS
Donald John Trump defied the
skeptics who said he would never
run, and the political veterans
who scoffed at his slapdash cam-
paign.
He attacked the norms of Amer-
ican politics, singling out groups
for derision on the basis of race
and religion and attacking the le-
gitimacy of the political process.
He ignored conventions of com-
mon decency, employing casual
vulgarity and raining personal hu-
miliation on his political oppo-
nents and critics in the media.
And in the ultimate act of defi-
ance, Mr. Trump emerged victori-
ous, summoning a tidal wave of
support from less educated whites
displaced by changes in the econ-
omy and deeply resistant to the
countrys shifting cultural and ra-
cial tones. In his triumph, Mr.
Trump has delivered perhaps the
greatest shock to the American
political system in modern times
and opened the door to an era of
extraordinary political uncer-
tainty at home and around the
globe.

WORKING CLASS SPEAKS
Blue-Collar Whites Give
Stinging Rebuke to
Democratic Party
By PATRICK HEALY
and JONATHAN MARTIN
Donald John Trump was
elected the 45th president of the
United States on Tuesday in a
stunning culmination of an explo-
sive, populist and polarizing cam-
paign that took relentless aim at
the institutions and long-held
ideals of American democracy.
The surprise outcome, defying
late polls that showed Hillary
Clinton with a modest but persist-
ent edge, threatened convulsions
throughout the country and the
world, where skeptics had
watched with alarm as Mr.
Trumps unvarnished overtures to
disillusioned voters took hold.
The triumph for Mr. Trump, 70,
a real estate developer-turned-re-
ality television star with no gov-
ernment experience, was a pow-
erful rejection of the establish-
ment forces that had assembled
against him, from the world of
business to government, and the
consensus they had forged on ev-
erything from trade to immigra-
tion.
The results amounted to a repu-
diation, not only of Mrs. Clinton,
but of President Obama, whose
legacy is suddenly imperiled. And
it was a decisive demonstration of
power by a largely overlooked co-
alition of mostly blue-collar white
and working-class voters who felt
that the promise of the United
States had slipped their grasp
amid decades of globalization and
multiculturalism.
In Mr. Trump, a thrice-married
Manhattanite who lives in a mar-
ble-wrapped three-story pent-
house apartment on Fifth Avenue,
they found an improbable cham-
pion.
Mr. Trumps strong showing
helped Republicans retain control
of the Senate. Only one Republi-
can-controlled seat, in Illinois, fell
to Democrats early in the evening.
And Senator Richard Burr of
North Carolina, a Republican, eas-
ily won re-election in a race that
had been among the countrys
most competitive. A handful of
other Republican incumbents fac-
ing difficult races were running
better than expected.

The son of a wealthy real estate

to persuade the wider world to see

Mr. Trump was often met with

Populist Fury
May Backfire
By PETER S. GOODMAN
A populist insurrection is
gaining force in much of the
world, drawing middle-class and
blue-collar recruits who lament
that they have been left behind
by globalization. This upheaval
threatens to upend the economic
order that has prevailed since
the end of World War II.
This was evident before Don-
ald J. Trumps triumphant rogue
campaign for the American
presidency. Now it is beyond
argument.
National leaders in Europe and
North America are scrambling to
placate energized, often unruly
groups of people demanding
change and a more generous
share of the economic spoils. But
the options for addressing the
deficiencies of capitalism are
severely constrained both by
traditional political realities and
by the broader truths of the
global economy.
In Britain, which shocked the
world in June with its so-called
Brexit vote to abandon the Euro-
pean Union, and now in the
United States, with its stunning
elevation of Mr. Trump,
electorates have essentially
handed governments a mandate
to limit free trade. Voters have

TRUMP AND OBAMA MEET TO BREAK THE ICE

Climate Policy
Faces Reversal
By New Leader
Clear Path to Undercut
an Obama Legacy
By CORAL DAVENPORT
WASHINGTON For a look at
how sharply policy in Washington
will change under the administra-
tion of Donald J. Trump, look no
further than the environment.
Mr. Trump has called human-
caused climate change a hoax.
He has vowed to dismantle the
Environmental Protection Agen-
cy in almost every form.
And in an early salvo against
one of President Obamas signa-
ture issues, Mr. Trump has named
Myron Ebell of the business-
backed Competitive Enterprise
Institute to head his E.P.A. transi-
tion team. Mr. Ebell has asserted
that whatever warming caused by
greenhouse gas pollution is mod-
est and could be beneficial. A 2007
Vanity Fair profile of Mr. Ebell
called him an oil industry mouth-
piece.
Global warming may indeed be
the sharpest example of how pol-
icy in Washington will change un-
der a Trump administration. Pres-
ident Obama has said his efforts to
establish the United States as the
global leader in climate policy are
his proudest legacy.
But if Mr. Trump makes good on
his campaign promises, experts in
climate change policy warn, that
legacy would unravel quickly. The
world, then, may have no way to
avoid the most devastating conse-
quences of global warming, in-
cluding rising sea levels, extreme
droughts and food shortages, and
more powerful floods and storms.

By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
WASHINGTON For months,
President Obama said that Don-

temperamentally unfit and a
threat to the republic who should
never be president.
For years, Mr. Trump ques-
tioned Mr. Obamas birthplace and
legitimacy, branded the nations
first black president weak and
called his tenure a disaster.
On Thursday at the White
House, the once-unimaginable
happened: The two men met face
to face for the first time for a 90-
minute discussion in the Oval Of-
fice and shook hands, making a
public show of putting their bitter
differences aside.
I want to emphasize to you, Mr.
President-elect, that we now are
going to want to do everything we
can to help you succeed, because if
you succeed, then the country suc-
ceeds, Mr. Obama told Mr. Trump
after the meeting as the two sat
side by side, two days after Mr.
Trumps stunning election upset
imperiled Mr. Obamas legacy.
The president called the conver-
sation excellent and said he had
been encouraged by Mr.
Trumps interest in working with
him and his team.
Mr. Trump, who appeared ner-
subdued beside Mr. Obama, called
the president a good man. He
said that the meeting was a great
honor and that their conversa-
tion had lasted far longer than he
would have expected.
I have great respect, Mr.
Trump said, turning to face Mr.

Writer of Hallelujah Whose Lyrics Captivated Generations

By LARRY ROHTER
Leonard Cohen, the Canadian
poet and novelist who abandoned
a promising literary career to be-

has died, according to an an-
nouncement Thursday night on
his Facebook page. He was 82.
JOEL SAGET/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE GETTY IMAGES Mr. Cohens record label, Sony
Leonard Cohen in 2012. His musical career spanned 45 years. Music, confirmed the death. No
details were available on the
cause. Adam Cohen, his son and
producer, said: My father passed
away peacefully at his home in
Los Angeles with the knowledge
that he had completed what he felt
was one of his greatest records.
He was writing up until his last
moments with his unique brand of
humor.
Over a musical career that
spanned nearly five decades, Mr.
Cohen wrote songs that ad-
dressed in spare language that
could be both oblique and telling
themes of love and faith, de-
spair and exaltation, solitude and
connection, war and politics. More
than 2,000 recordings of his songs
have been made, initially by the
folk-pop singers who were his first
champions, like Judy Collins and
Tim Hardin, and later by perform-
ers from across the spectrum of
popular music, among them U2,
Aretha Franklin, R.E.M., Jeff
Buckley, Trisha Yearwood and El-

Mr. Cohens best-known song
may well be Hallelujah, a majes-
tic, meditative ballad infused with
both religiosity and earthiness. It
was written for a 1984 album that

Trump Signals
Shifting Views
Of Health Law
Parts May Be Kept, but
the Details Are Few
By REED ABELSON
Just days after a national cam-
paign in which he vowed repeat-
edly to repeal President Obamas
signature health care law, Donald
J. Trump is sending signals that
his approach to health care is a
work in progress.
Mr. Trump even indicated that
he would like to keep two of the
most popular benefits of the Af-
fordable Care Act, one that forces
insurers to cover people with pre-
existing health conditions and an-
other that allows parents to cover
children under their plan into
their mid-20s. He told The Wall
Street Journal that he was re-
considering his stance after meet-
ing with Mr. Obama on Thursday.
The comments added to a sense
of whiplash about the law and its
future. More than 100,000 Ameri-
cans rushed to buy health insur-
ance under the Affordable Care
Act on Wednesday, the biggest
turnout yet during this years
sign-up period, underscoring that
millions of people now depend on
the law for coverage.
Beyond Mr. Trumps comments,
new plans laid out on his presiden-
tial transition website this week
deviate from what he had pro-
posed during the campaign, and
he added ideas that appeared to
more closely align with the main-
stream Republican agenda.
The new plans drop all mention
of reining in high drug prices,
which Mr. Trump had advocated
for months, and add new language
about modernizing Medicare, a
potential nod to congressional ef-
forts to give people vouchers to-
ward buying private health insur-
ance.
Health care is shaping up as a
priority for the Trump administra-
tion and Republicans in Con-
gress, said Larry Levitt, an exec-
utive at the Kaiser Family Foun-
dation, which closely tracks
health policy. But we still have
very little detail about what that
really means.
The health care industry, which
invested hundreds of millions of
dollars in preparing for business
under the Affordable Care Act, is

Interrogations Shadow Hampers Mental Care at Guantnamo
By SHERI FINK
Every day when Lt. Cmdr. Shay Rose-
crans crossed into the military detention
center at Guantnamo Bay, Cuba, she
tucked her medical school class ring into
her bra, covered the name on her uniform
with tape and hid her necklace under her
T-shirt, especially if she was wearing a
cross.
She tried to block out thoughts of her 4-
year-old daughter. Dr. Rosecrans, a Navy
psychiatrist, had been warned not to
speak about her family or display any-
thing personal, clues that might allow a
terrorism suspect to identify her.
Patients called her torture bitch, spat
at her co-workers and shouted death
threats, she said. One hurled a cup of

Your Trusty Cellphone Number: Amid Years of Decay, Ohioans
10-Digit Code to Trove of Secrets Flipped Votes, Seeking Change
By STEVE LOHR
The next time someone asks
you for your cellphone number,
you may want to think twice about
giving it.
The cellphone number is more
than just a bunch of digits. It is in-
creasingly used as a link to pri-
vate information maintained by
all sorts of companies, including
money lenders and social net-
works. It can be used to monitor
and predict what you buy, look for
online or even watch on television.
It has become kind of a key
into the room of your life and infor-
mation about you, said Edward
M. Stroz, a former high-tech crime
agent for the Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation who is co-president of
Stroz Friedberg, a private investi-
gator.
Yet the cellphone number is not
a legally regulated piece of infor-
mation like a Social Security num-
ber, which companies are re-
quired to keep private. And we are
told to hide and protect our Social
Security numbers while most of
us dont hesitate when asked to
write a cellphone number on a
form or share it with someone we
barely know.
That is a growing issue for
young people, since two sets of
digits may well be with them for
life: their Social Security number
and their cellphone number.

Obamas Vision for America
By PETER BAKER
As he raced across the country
before the election, President
Obama warned supporters about
the stakes. All the progress weve
made over these last eight years,
he said, goes out the window if we
dont win this election.
Hillary Clinton, his anointed
successor, did not win, and so now
Mr. Obama will find out whether
his prediction was just campaign
hyperbole or if his legacy really
has just gone out the window. Not
only are specific initiatives like his
health care and climate change
programs at risk, but so, too, is the
broader vision Mr. Obama articu-
lated for America.
Suddenly, the progressive, post-
racial, bridge-building society he
promised has given way to an an-
gry, jeering, us-against-them na-
tion to be led by a new president
who relishes reality-show name-
calling with racial overtones. In
none of Mr. Obamas worst-case
scenarios when he came to office
was this the way he imagined
leaving.
Since the electoral earthquake
that made Donald J. Trump his
designated successor, Mr. Obama
has consoled his team and him-
self by telling them that they
moved the country forward de-
spite this obvious setback.
Change does not follow a straight
line, he told crying aides. Instead,
it tends to zig and zag.
But Mr. Obamas place in his-
tory looks considerably different
than a week ago. The transforma-
tion he envisioned may not sur-
vive his administration. He is
leaving near the peak of his popu-
larity, yet many of the voters who
made Mr. Obama the nations first
black president chose to replace
him with a man who had peddled
racially incendiary suggestions
that he might not have been born
in this country.
In some ways, this follows a pat-
tern: Americans grow weary of in-
cumbent presidents and often
pick successors perceived to be
the opposite. John F. Kennedy was

A Saudi-Led Campaign With U.S. Ties Hits Civilian Targets
By BEN HUBBARD
SANA, Yemen For decades, Mustafa
Elaghils family produced snack foods pop-
ular in Yemen, chips and corn curls in
bright packaging decorated with the im-
age of Ernie from Sesame Street.
But over the summer, a military coali-
tion led by Saudi Arabia sent warplanes
over Yemen and bombed the Elaghils fac-
tory. The explosion destroyed it, setting it
ablaze and trapping the workers inside.
The attack killed 10 employees and
wiped out a business that had employed
dozens of families.
It was everything for us, Mr. Elaghil
said.
The Saudi-led coalition has bombed
Yemen for the last 19 months, trying to oust
a rebel group aligned with Iran that took
control of the capital, Sana, in 2014. The
Saudis want to restore the countrys exiled
president, Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi,
who led an internationally recognized gov-
ernment more aligned with its interests.
But instead of defeating the rebels, the
campaign has sunk into a grinding stale-
mate, systematically obliterating Yemens
already bare-bones economy. The coalition
has destroyed a wide variety of civilian tar-
gets that critics say have no clear link to
the rebels.
It has hit hospitals and schools. It has de-
stroyed bridges, power stations, poultry
farms, a key seaport and factories that
produce yogurt, tea, tissues, ceramics,
Coca-Cola and potato chips. It has bombed
weddings and a funeral.
The bombing campaign has exacer-
bated a humanitarian crisis in the Arab
worlds poorest country, where cholera is
spreading, millions of people are strug-
gling to get enough food, and malnour-
ished babies are overwhelming hospitals,
according to the United Nations. Millions
have been forced from their homes, and
since August, the government has been
unable to pay the salaries of most of the 1.2
million civil servants.
Publicly, the United States has kept its
distance from the war, but its decades-old
alliance with Saudi Arabia, underpinned
by tens of billions of dollars in weapons
sales, has left American fingerprints on the
air campaign.
Many strikes are carried out by pilots

Young gay people leave their

6 Perspectives
There is no single way to con-
vey just how divided we are as a
nation, and it was laid bare last
week after Donald J. Trump was
elected the 45th president,
though he lost the popular vote.
The acrimonious presidential
campaign exposed not only a rift
between the elite and the non-
elite, but stirred debate over
what the term means. Voters
guided by religious values ended
up with different political out-
looks. The country is sharply
divided over immigration. Some
voters believe the nation is under
siege, while others question if the
United States should be a melt-
ing pot of people and cultures.
Six national reporters for The
New York Times spoke to a
number of Americans to under-
stand the ways voters see the
world. They spoke with
supporters of Mr. Trump and of
Hillary Clinton. They found
pessimists and optimists. Most
people insisted that they wanted
a unified country.
Yet, as they fight for their
version of America, they could
not be further apart. Page A14.

Obama Policies Give Successor
A Path to Vast Security Powers
By CHARLIE SAVAGE
WASHINGTON As a presi-
dential candidate, Donald J.
Trump vowed to refill the cells of
the Guantnamo Bay prison and
said American terrorism suspects
should be sent there for military
prosecution. He called for target-
ing mosques for surveillance, es-
calating airstrikes aimed at ter-
rorists and taking out their civil-
ian family members, and bringing
back waterboarding and a hell of
a lot worse not only because
torture works, but because even
if it doesnt work, they deserve it
anyway.
It is hard to know how much of
this stark vision for throwing off
constraints on the exercise of na-
tional security power was merely
tough campaign talk. But if the
Trump administration follows
through on such ideas, it will find
some assistance in a surprising
source: President Obamas have-

it-both-ways approach to curbing
what he saw as overreaching in
the war on terrorism.
Over and over, Mr. Obama has
imposed limits on his use of such
powers but has not closed the door
on them a flexible approach
premised on the idea that he and
his successors could be trusted to
use them prudently. Mr. Trump
can now sweep away those limits
and open the throttle on policies
that Mr. Obama endorsed as law-
ful and legitimate for sparing use,
like targeted killings in drone
strikes and the use of indefinite
detention and military tribunals
for terrorism suspects.
And even in areas where Mr.
Obama tried to terminate policies
from the George W. Bush era
like torture and the detention of
Americans and other people ar-

WASHINGTON Just a few of difficulty for Mr. Trump one
blocks down Pennsylvania Ave-
nue from the White House sits the
Trump International Hotel, one of
the newest luxury additions to
President-elect Donald J. Trumps
real estate empire, and perhaps
the most visible symbol of the eth-
ical quandary he now confronts.
The Trump International oper-
ates out of the Old Post Office
Building, which the federal gov-
ernment owns. That means Mr.
Trump will be appointing the head
of the General Services Adminis-
tration, which manages the prop-
erty, while his children will be run-
ning a hotel that has tens of mil-
lions of dollars in ties with the
agency.
He also will oversee the Na-
tional Labor Relations Board
while it decides union disputes in-
volving any of his hotels. A week
before the election, the board
ruled against Mr. Trumps hotel in
a case in Las Vegas.
The layers of potential conflicts
he faces are in many ways as com-
plex as his far-flung business em-

WASHINGTON A fierce
chorus of critics denounced Presi-
dent-elect Donald J. Trump on
Monday for appointing Stephen
K. Bannon, a nationalist media
mogul, to a top White House posi-
tion, even as President Obama de-
scribed Mr. Trump as prag-
matic, not ideological, and held
out hope that he would rise to the
challenge of the presidency.
Its important for us to let him
make his decisions, Mr. Obama
said. The American people will
judge over the course of the next
couple of years whether they like
what they see.
Mr. Obamas conciliatory re-
marks disappointed supporters
who had hoped that he would add
his voice to the criticism of the
president-elect for naming Mr.
Bannon as his chief strategist.
Civil rights groups, senior Demo-
crats and some Republican strat-

saying that Mr. Bannon, the for-

racist views to the West Wing.

CHINA GETS A PEEK Fatalities Climb Where
Prepaid Phones in U.S.
Ran a Secret Code
By MATT APUZZO
and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT
WASHINGTON For about
$50, you can get a smartphone
with a high-definition display, fast
data service and, according to se-
curity contractors, a secret fea-
ture: a backdoor that sends all
your text messages to China ev-
ery 72 hours.
Security contractors recently
discovered preinstalled software
in some Android phones that mon-
itors where users go, whom they
talk to and what they write in text
messages. The American authori-
ties say it is not clear whether this
represents secretive data mining
for advertising purposes or a Chi-
nese government effort to collect
intelligence.
International customers and
users of disposable or prepaid
phones are the people most af-
fected by the software. But the
scope is unclear. The Chinese
company that wrote the software,
Shanghai Adups Technology
Company, says its code runs on
more than 700 million phones,
cars and other smart devices. One
American phone manufacturer,
BLU Products, said that 120,000 of
its phones had been affected and
that it had updated the software to
eliminate the feature.
Kryptowire, the security firm
that discovered the vulnerability,
said the Adups software transmit-
ted the full contents of text mes-
sages, contact lists, call logs, loca-
tion information and other data to
a Chinese server. The code comes
preinstalled on phones and the
surveillance is not disclosed to us-
ers, said Tom Karygiannis, a vice
president at Kryptowire, which is
based in Fairfax, Va. Even if you
wanted to, you wouldnt have
known about it, he said.
Security experts frequently dis-
cover vulnerabilities in consumer
electronics, but this case is excep-
tional. It was not a bug. Rather,
Adups intentionally designed the
software to help a Chinese phone
manufacturer monitor user be-
havior, according to a document

In a State of Disarray
World Allies Struggle to Contact Leader
as Staff Improvises Protocols
This article is by Julie Hirschfeld
Davis, Mark Mazzetti and Maggie

WASHINGTON President-
elect Donald J. Trumps transition
was in disarray on Tuesday,
marked by firings, infighting and
revelations that American allies
were blindly dialing in to Trump
Tower to try to reach the soon-to-
be-leader of the free world.
One week after Mr. Trump
scored an upset victory that took
him by surprise, his team was im-
provising the most basic tradi-
tions of assuming power. That in-
cluded working without official
State Department briefing ma-
terials in his first conversations
with foreign leaders.
Two officials who had been han-
dling national security for the
transition, former Representative
Mike Rogers of Michigan and
Matthew Freedman, a lobbyist
who consults with corporations
and foreign governments, were
fired. Both were part of what offi-
cials described as a purge orches-
trated by Jared Kushner, Mr.
Trumps son-in-law and close ad-
viser.
The dismissals followed the
abrupt firing on Friday of Gov.
Chris Christie of New Jersey, who
was replaced as chief of the transi-
tion by Vice President-elect Mike
Pence. Mr. Kushner, a transition
official said, was systematically
dismissing people like Mr. Rogers
who had ties with Mr. Christie. As
a federal prosecutor, Mr. Christie
had sent Mr. Kushners father to
jail.

WASHINGTON Rudolph W.
Giuliani, facing a flood of ques-

dealings should disqualify him
from being named President-elect
Donald J. Trumps secretary of
state, on Tuesday defended his lu-
crative 15 years in the private sec-
tor as a credential for the job.
I have friends all over the
world, Mr. Giuliani, the former
New York mayor, said in an inter-
view. This is not a new thing for
me. When you become the mayor,
you become interested in foreign
policy. When I left, my major work
was legal and security around the
world.
As secretary of state, Mr. Giuli-
ani, a loyal, often ferocious backer
of Mr. Trumps candidacy, would
make fighting Islamist terrorism
the centerpiece of the incoming
administrations foreign policy. He
vaulted to national prominence
because of his leadership after the
Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and
he still views foreign policy
through the prism of that day.
But Mr. Giulianis business ties

Syrias Assad Democrats to Woo Trump

Views Trump
As Likely Ally
A Dtente to Target ISIS
Could Unsettle Some
By HELENE COOPER
and ERIC SCHMITT
WASHINGTON President
Bashar al-Assad of Syria, con-
demned by the Obama adminis-
tration and much of the West for
waging a brutal war of suppres-
sion against Islamist opponents in
his country, said this week that
President-elect Donald J. Trump
could be a natural ally in the
fight against terrorism. The com-
ment underscored the degree to
which the new administrations
approach could reverse central
tenets of American foreign policy.
In an interview with the Por-
tuguese broadcaster RTP pub-
lished on Tuesday, Mr. Assad
whom President Obama wants re-
moved from office welcomed
the prospect that Mr. Trump
would make good on his campaign
promise to focus exclusively on
fighting the Islamic State and to
align the United States with Rus-
sia, a close ally of Mr. Assads, in
doing so. The Islamic State, also
known as ISIS or ISIL, is one of an
array of moderate and extremist
groups seeking to topple Mr. As-
sad.
The statements by Mr. Assad
a leader who Secretary of State
John Kerry has said should be in-
vestigated for war crimes along
with Russia highlighted both
the complexity of the foreign pol-
icy challenges awaiting Mr.
Trump and the extent to which he
has signaled a break from Mr.
Obamas approach, especially in
the Middle East.
In Syria, Mr. Trump will inherit
an especially tangled set of alli-
ances and trade-offs, a situation
that has bedeviled Mr. Obama in a
region where the United States
military is acting in support of ef-
forts to contain or destroy the Is-
lamic State.
While allowing that what he
called opposing forces within the
administration could cast doubt
on whether Mr. Trump can de-
liver on his promises, Mr. Assad

Specter of Race Trails a Potential Cabinet Pick Hunkering Down at His Tower,
Comments by Senator
By MATT APUZZO
WASHINGTON In 1981, a
Justice Department prosecutor
from Washington stopped by to
see Jeff Sessions, the United
States attorney in Mobile, Ala., at
the time. The prosecutor, J. Gerald
Hebert, said he had heard a shock-
ing story: A federal judge had
called a prominent white lawyer
a disgrace to his race for repre-
senting black clients.
Well, Mr. Sessions replied, ac-
cording to Mr. Hebert, maybe he
is.
In testimony before Congress in
1986, Mr. Hebert and others
painted an unflattering portrait of
Mr. Sessions, who would go on to
become a senator from Alabama

Court in 1986
and now, according to numerous
sources close to President-elect
Donald J. Trumps transition
team, is a potential nominee for at-
torney general or secretary of de-
fense. Mr. Hebert testified that Mr.
Sessions had referred to the
American Civil Liberties Union
and the N.A.A.C.P. as un-Ameri-
can for trying to force civil
rights down the throats of people.
One African-American prosecu-
tor testified that Mr. Sessions had
thought that the Ku Klux Klan
was O.K. until I found out they
smoked pot.
Mr. Sessions denied calling the
lawyer boy but acknowledged
or did not dispute the substance of
the other remarks. The bitter tes-
timony sank his nomination by
President Ronald Reagan to be a
federal district court judge and
foreshadowed the questions that
Mr. Sessions could face at another
set of Senate confirmation hear-
ings if Mr. Trump nominates him
for a cabinet position.
After nearly 20 years in the Sen-
ate, Mr. Sessions, 69, now has
more allies and would face a

On Plans G.O.P. Opposes
Seeking Ways to Work With a President
Often at Odds With His Own Party
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
WASHINGTON Congres-
sional Democrats, divided and
struggling for a path from the
electoral wilderness, are con-
structing an agenda to align with
many proposals of President-elect
Donald J. Trump that put him at
odds with his own party.
On infrastructure spending,
child tax credits, paid maternity
leave and dismantling trade
agreements, Democrats are look-
ing for ways they can work with
Mr. Trump and force Republican
leaders to choose between their
new president and their small-
government, free-market princi-
ples. Senator Chuck Schumer of
New York, elected Wednesday as
the new Democratic minority
leader, has spoken with Mr. Trump
several times, and Democrats in
coming weeks plan to announce
populist economic and ethics ini-
tiatives they think Mr. Trump
might like.

SHENZHEN, China In a one-
man war room in his apartment, a
laid-off Walmart employee named
Wang Shishu was tapping out a
message on his phone to a group
of workers and plotting his next
move.
Over the past few months, Mr.
Wang, 56, has helped organize a
national movement in China
against Walmart. Labor strikes
have hit stores in the south simul-
taneously. There have been boy-
cotts in the northeast. And here in
Shenzhen, where Walmart
opened its first outlet in China two
decades ago, employees have filed
a lawsuit demanding back pay.
We want a snowball effect, he
said in the booming baritone of a
street preacher. We want every-
body to know what to do next.
As the Chinese economy has
slowed, strikes and labor protests
have broken out across the coun-
try, mostly scattered episodes tar-
geting a single factory or busi-
ness. The government has re-
sponded aggressively, detaining
activists and increasing censor-
ship to keep unrest from spread-
ing.
But activism against Walmarts
more than 400 stores in China in
recent months has followed a dif-
ferent pattern: workers in several
cities agitating against the same
company, bypassing official un-
ions controlled by the Communist
Party and using social media to
coordinate their actions while
the authorities largely stand
aside.
Across China, Walmart employ-
ees have raised their fists at pro-
tests, chanting, Workers, stand
up! They have appealed to local
officials with patriotic fervor, in-
voking the struggles of Mao Ze-
dong against foreign imperialists.
They have posted screeds online
against unkind bosses and union
puppets.

Expanding on Key Role

By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS

WASHINGTON Jared Kush-
ner, the son-in-law of President-
elect Donald J. Trump, has spoken
to a lawyer about the possibility of
joining the new administration, a
move that could violate federal
anti-nepotism law and risk legal
challenges and political backlash.
Mr. Kushner, 35, the husband of
Mr. Trumps elder daughter,
Ivanka, and an influential adviser
to his father-in-law during the
presidential campaign, had been
planning to return to his private
businesses after Election Day. But
on the morning after Mr. Trump
won, Mr. Kushner began dis-
cussing taking a role in the White
House, according to two people
briefed on the conversations who
requested anonymity to describe
Mr. Kushners thinking.
Mr. Trump is urging his son-in-
law to join him in the White House,
according to one of the people
briefed. The president-elects sen-
timent is shared by Stephen K.
Bannon, the chief strategist for
the White House, and Reince
Priebus, who was named chief of
staff. Mr. Kushner accompanied
Mr. Trump to the White House on
Nov. 10, when the president-elect
held his first in-person meeting
with President Obama.

NARVA, Estonia Barely a
few hundred yards inside NATOs
jittery eastern border with Russia,
a high school teacher asked stu-
dents in his social studies class
this week to address a topic of par-
amount importance for their fu-
ture: the election of Donald J.
Trump as the next president of the
United States.
Mr. Trumps surprising victory
has sent shock waves around the
world, but the possible conse-
quences are particularly acute
here in the Baltics, a region long
seen as a potential flash point be-
cause of its physical, linguistic and
cultural proximity to Russia.
If World War III starts, we will
be the first to know about it, said
one of the students in the 12th-
grade class who, in keeping with
school policy, gave only his first
name, Nikita. Odd though it may
seem, in view of the threat that a
newly aggressive Russia may
pose, he and many other students
in this Russian-speaking town
welcomed Mr. Trumps victory be-
cause, they said, he wanted to cut
a deal with Moscow and calm ten-
sions.
Jurgen, another student in the
class, described Hillary Clinton as
a menace because she wants war
with Russia, adding: Trump
wants friendship. In a war, we
would be just in the way.
Such views, widespread in Rus-
sian-speaking communities in the
Baltics and beyond, contrast
starkly with the alarm, even
panic, at Mr. Trumps triumph
among an Estonian-speaking poli-
tical and foreign policy elite in the
countrys capital, Tallinn, where
Russias president, Vladimir V.
Putin, is viewed as a threat that
must be resisted, not appeased.

POWERFUL POLICY ROLE
Flynn Stresses Threat of
Islamist Militancy
Has Russian Ties
By MATTHEW ROSENBERG
and MAGGIE HABERMAN
WASHINGTON President-
elect Donald J. Trump has offered
the post of national security advis-
er to Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, po-
tentially putting a retired intelli-
gence officer who believes Islam-
ist militancy poses an existential
threat in one of the most powerful
roles in shaping military and for-
eign policy, according to a top offi-
cial on Mr. Trumps transition
team.
General Flynn, 57, a registered
Democrat, was Mr. Trumps main
national security adviser during
his campaign. If he accepts Mr.
Trumps offer, as expected, he will
be a critical gatekeeper for a presi-
dent with little experience in mili-
tary or foreign policy issues.
Mr. Trump and General Flynn
both see themselves as brash out-
siders who hustled their way to
the big time. They both post on
Twitter often about their own suc-
cesses, and they have both at
times crossed the line into out-
right Islamophobia.
They also both exhibit a loose
relationship with facts: General
Flynn, for instance, has said that
Shariah, or Islamic law, is spread-
ing in the United States (it is not).
His dubious assertions are so
common that when he ran the De-
fense Intelligence Agency, subor-
dinates came up with a name for
the phenomenon: They called
them Flynn facts.

Worsened by Climate Change, King Tides Transform Florida Life Leverage for Globes Gullible:

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
In an enclave of a city known as
the Venice of America, where
dream-big houses look out over a
maze of picturesque canals, the
comparison to the Venice of Italy
no longer seems so appealing.
On Monday morning, shortly
after Novembers so-called super-
moon dropped from view on Mola
Avenue, it was easy to see why.
The tide swelled on command.
Seawater gurgled audibly up
through manhole covers and
seeped from the grass. Under a
sunny sky, the water drowned
docks and slid over low sea walls.
By 8:15 a.m., peak tide, this street
in the Las Olas Isles neighborhood
was inundated, just like the
Venice across the pond.
Sergio Lafratta, an independent
business consultant who moved in

saltwater seep into his new lawn.

Mr. Lafratta said. His grass

Those incidents took place in
Indonesia and the Philippines,
where social medias outsize place
in politics is widely acknowl-
edged, even as that role is coming
under sharper criticism in the
United States.
Well before last weeks Ameri-

tus as a digital-era news source
into the spotlight, leaders, advoca-
cy groups and minorities world-
wide have contended with an on-
slaught of online misinformation
and abuse that has had real-world
political repercussions. And for
years, the social network did little
to clamp down on the false news.
Now Facebook, Google and oth-
ers have begun to take steps to
curb the trend, but some outside
the United States say the move is
too late.
They should have done this
way earlier, said Richard Hey-

Philippines, one of Facebooks
fastest-growing markets. We al-

this years ago.

that at one point he lost track of

The settlement was announced
by the New York attorney general
just 10 days before one of the
cases, a federal class-action law-
suit in San Diego, was set to be
heard by a jury. The deal averts a
potentially embarrassing and
highly unusual predicament: a
president-elect on trial, and possi-
bly even taking the stand in his
own defense, while scrambling to
build his incoming administra-
tion.
It was a remarkable concession
from a real estate mogul who de-
rides legal settlements and has
mocked fellow businessmen who
agree to them.
But the allegations in the case
were highly unpleasant for Mr.
Trump: Students paid up to

NEWS ANALYSIS
Strident Team
Of Like Minds
By MATT APUZZO
and MARK LANDLER
WASHINGTON President-
elect Donald J. Trumps trio of
hard-line selections on Friday
served notice that he intends not
only to reverse eight years of
liberal domestic policies but also
to overturn decades of bipartisan
consensus on the United States
proper role in world affairs.
Mr. Trump is moving quickly
to realize his campaigns promise
of a nation that relentlessly en-
forces immigration and drug
laws; views Muslims with deep
suspicion; second-guesses post-
World War II alliances; and
sends suspected terrorists to
Guantnamo Bay or C.I.A. secret
prisons to be interrogated with
methods that have been banned
as torture.
At a time when American
cities have been inflamed by
racial tensions, police shootings
and fears over homegrown ter-
rorism, Mr. Trump made no
conciliatory gestures toward
Muslims, Mexicans or residents
of African-American neighbor-
hoods, all of whom he disparaged
during his campaign.
In his first major national
security selections so far
Senator Jeff Sessions, Republi-
can of Alabama, for attorney
general; Representative Mike
Pompeo, Republican of Kansas,
for C.I.A. director; and Lt. Gen.
Michael T. Flynn for national
security adviser Mr. Trump
sent a clear message that he
does not intend to use these
personnel choices to build
bridges to Democrats or the
moderate and traditionally con-
servative Republicans who op-
posed the nationalist overtones
of his presidential campaign.
The reaction from Democrats
was swift and sulfurous. Senator
Elizabeth Warren of Massachu-
setts demanded that Mr. Trump
withdraw Mr. Sessions, while
Senator Cory Booker of New
Jersey charged that some of Mr.
Trumps choices had degraded
and demeaned Americans. The
president-elect has created a
White House leadership that
embodies the most divisive rhet-

3 Hard-Liners Who
Are Regarded as
G.O.P. Outliers
By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
WASHINGTON President-
elect Donald J. Trump moved
quickly on Friday to begin filling
national security posts at the top
echelons of his administration, se-
lecting a group of hawks and cam-
paign loyalists who reflect the
hard-line views that defined his
run for president.
Mr. Trump said he would nomi-
nate as attorney general Senator
Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who has
been a fierce supporter of a crack-
down on undocumented immi-
grants. The president-elect also
moved to install Michael T. Flynn,
a retired lieutenant general who
has said that Islamist militancy
poses a global existential threat,
as his national security adviser.
And as director of the C.I.A., Mr.
Trump selected Representative
Mike Pompeo of Kansas, who
harshly criticized Hillary Clinton
during the House investigation of
the 2012 attack on the United
States diplomatic compound in
Benghazi, Libya.
All three are regarded, in some
ways, as outliers from conven-
tional Republican thinking,
shunned at times for strident
statements, controversial posi-
tions or highly partisan moves.
The flurry of announcements
indicated that Mr. Trump was
gaining control over a transition
operation that had been entangled
in infighting during its early
stages. The results were the first
seeds of an administration-in-
waiting that will break starkly
with that of President Obama.
Transition officials said Mr.
Trump would meet over the week-
end with a broad array of potential
cabinet members and other advis-
ers as a signal that he wanted to
build a diverse team, without re-
gard to political affiliation or sup-
port for his presidential bid.
Among them are Mitt Romney, the
2012 Republican nominee and one
of his partys harshest critics of
the president-elects campaign,
who is a contender for secretary of
state, and Michelle A. Rhee, a
Democrat who pursued sweeping
reforms during her controversy-
filled tenure as the District of Co-
lumbias chancellor of schools.
Mr. Trump also planned to meet
on Saturday with James N. Mattis,

Modern Pirate Terror: No Law on the Amazon

By SIMON ROMERO
MACAP, Brazil The pi-
rates of the Amazon River relish
striking after nightfall.
Wearing balaclavas, 15 of the
marauders stormed Merinaldo
Paivas riverboat as dozens of his
passengers dozed in their ham-
mocks. Suddenly, they woke to
find rifles pointed at their heads.
The gunmen took cash, jew-
elry, smartphones, fuel and even
food, forcing everyone to lie
facedown on the deck. Then they
disappeared on speedboats into

Fomenting Infighting,
Rewarding Loyalty
By ASHLEY PARKER
and MAGGIE HABERMAN
Donald J. Trump sits high in
Trump Tower in New York, spend-
ing hours on the phone with
friends, television personalities
and donors to ask if they know
people to recommend for his cab-
inet.
He joins a daily morning transi-
tion meeting with his family and
staff, but still maintains the rou-
tine that sustained him during the
campaign: starting his day at 5
a.m. reading The New York Post
and The New York Times, then
switching on MSNBCs Morning
Joe, whose co-host Joe Scarbor-
ough he once publicly savaged but
now often seeks out for advice.
He gets angry when members
of his inner circle get too much of
the spotlight, as Rudolph W. Giuli-
ani did when headlines about his
millions of dollars in speaking fees
appeared as the former New York
mayor was publicly promoting
himself to be Mr. Trumps secre-
tary of state.
And Mr. Trump has happily re-
sumed control of his Twitter feed,
using it to bash targets in the news
media and criticize the cast of the
Broadway musical Hamilton for
imploring Vice President-elect
Mike Pence, who was in the audi-
ence Friday night, to govern on
behalf of all Americans.

TRUMP IS MEETING
WITH WIDE ARRAY
OF POSSIBLE PICKS
A SITDOWN WITH ROMNEY
Once a Scathing Critic,
Now a Contender for
Secretary of State
By MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT
and JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
BEDMINSTER, N.J. Presi-
dent-elect Donald J. Trump on
Saturday moved to mend fences
with political rivals after a divisive
campaign, meeting with Mitt
Romney, who had scathingly criti-
cized him during the race as a
phony and a fraud, to discuss
naming him as secretary of state.
The outreach signaled a change
in tone one day after Mr. Trump
moved to elevate hard-liners to
pivotal national security posi-
tions. It was not clear whether Mr.
Trump had offered the State De-
partment post to Mr. Romney, or
whether Mr. Romney, who has
broken sharply with him on Rus-
sia, free trade and other issues,
would accept if he did.
But some strategists argued
that merely by reaching out to Mr.
Romney, Mr. Trump was demon-
strating an openness to new peo-
ple and ideas, even from the un-
likeliest of sources. It may also
have been intended to inject the
sort of unpredictability and spec-
tacle into the transition process
that the president-elect thrives
on.
During a weekend of transition
talks at Trump National Golf Club
here in Bedminster, Mr. Trump
was scheduled to hold a series of
discussions with what his aides
described as a diverse array of po-
tential advisers. The conversa-
tions were aimed at showing that
the president-elect was willing to
look beyond his loyal inner circle
to fill his administration.
Among the others who sat down
with Mr. Trump were Michelle A.
Rhee, a Democrat who served as
the chancellor of public schools in
the District of Columbia from 2007
to 2010; Robert L. Woodson, an Af-
rican-American conservative who
works on community-based anti-
poverty programs; James N. Mat-
tis, a retired Marine Corps general
who headed the United States
Central Command and is being
considered for the post of defense
secretary; and Todd Ricketts, an
owner of the Chicago Cubs.

sivism. Minorities make up nearly

West High, a far more diverse mix

In the hours and days after Ms.

ria, similar incidents followed,
students said. One girl said she
was surrounded by heckling stu-
dents and called a terrorist. An-
other said she saw people chant-
ing Trump in the hallways when
they passed black students. In one
classroom, a student noted the ab-
sence of a Latino classmate and

SAN SALVADOR On a sultry
evening in late July, the Salvadoran au-
thorities executed their very first assault
on what they called the financial cupola of
Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, the largest of
the ruthless gangs that have made El Sal-
vador the murder capital of the world.
Until that point, the National Civil
Police had followed an almost choreo-
graphed routine, again and again, as
they sought to cripple the gangs eco-
nomically. In the dead of night, often
accompanied by television cameras,
officers would batter down the doors
of ramshackle houses in marginalized
communities and then arrest and put
on display a cluster of tattooed and
half-naked men.
Between 2012 and 2015, the total
amount confiscated in these showy

A Hive of Growth, Dallas Flirts With Bankruptcy Fake News Goes Viral:
A Case Study

President-elect Donald J. Trump greeted contenders on Sunday.

By MARY WILLIAMS WALSH
DALLAS Picture the next
major American city to go bank-
rupt. What springs to mind? Prob-
ably not the swagger and sprawl
of Dallas.
But there was Dallass mayor,
Michael S. Rawlings, testifying
this month to a state oversight
board that his city appeared to be
walking into the fan blades of
municipal bankruptcy.
It is horribly ironic, he said.
Indeed. Dallas has the fastest
economic growth of the nations 13
largest cities. Its streets hum with
supersize cars and its skyline bris-
tles with cranes. Its mayor is a for-
mer chief executive of Pizza Hut.
Hundreds of multinational corpo-
rations have chosen Dallas for
their headquarters, most recently
Jacobs Engineering, which is
moving to low-tax Texas from
pricey Pasadena, Calif.
But under its glittering surface,
Dallas has a problem that could
bring it to its knees, and that could
be an early test of Americas post-
election commitment to safe
streets and tax relief: The citys
pension fund for its police officers
and firefighters is near collapse

COOPER NEILL FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES
Michael S. Rawlings has been
mayor of Dallas since 2011.
Over six recent weeks, pan-
icked Dallas retirees have pulled
$220 million out of the fund. What
set off the run was a recommenda-
tion in July that the retirees no
longer be allowed to take out big
blocks of money. Even before that,
though, there were reports that
the funds investments some
placed in highly risky and specu-
lative ventures were worth less
than previously stated.
What is happening in Dallas is
an extreme example of whats
around the country. Elected offi-
cials promised workers solid pen-
sions years ago, on the basis of
wishful thinking rather than real-
istic expectations. Dallass trou-
bles have become more urgent be-
cause its plan rules let some retir-
ees take big withdrawals.
Now, the Dallas Police and Fire
Pension System has asked the city
for a one-time infusion of $1.1 bil-

Alt-Right, Exulting in Election,

By JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN
WASHINGTON By the time
Richard B. Spencer, the leading
ideologue of the alt-right move-
ment and the final speaker of the
night, rose to address a gathering
of his followers on Saturday, the
crowd was restless.
In 11 hours of speeches and pan-
el discussions in a federal building
named after Ronald Reagan a few
blocks from the White House, a
succession of speakers had laid
out a harsh vision for the future,
but had denounced violence and
said that Hispanic citizens and
black Americans had nothing to
fear. Earlier in the day, Mr.
Spencer himself had urged the
group to start acting less like an
underground organization and
more like the establishment.
But now his tone changed as he
began to tell the audience of more
than 200 people, mostly young
men, what they had been waiting
to hear. He railed against Jews
and, with a smile, quoted Nazi
propaganda in the original Ger-
man. America, he said, belonged
to white people, whom he called
the children of the sun, a race of
conquerors and creators who had
been marginalized but now, in the
era of President-elect Donald J.
Trump, were awakening to their
own identity.

Trumps Foreign Business Deals Focus on Generals for Top Jobs
May Test a Constitutional Limit Stirs Worries on Military Sway
By ADAM LIPTAK
WASHINGTON Not long af-
ter he took office, President
Obama sought advice from the
Justice Department about a po-
tential conflict of interest involv-
ing a foreign government. He
wanted to know whether he could
accept the Nobel Peace Prize.
The answer turned on the
Emoluments Clause, an obscure
provision of the Constitution that
now poses risks for President-
elect Donald J. Trump should he
continue to reap benefits from
transactions with companies con-
trolled by foreign governments.
Emolument means compen-
sation for labor or services. And
the clause says that no person
holding any office of profit or
trust shall accept of any present,
emolument, office or title, of any
kind whatever, from any king,
prince or foreign state unless
Congress consents.
It took David J. Barron, a Jus-
tice Department official who is
now a federal appeals court judge
in Boston, 13 single-spaced pages
to answer Mr. Obamas question.
Two things were clear, he wrote.
The Emoluments Clause surely
applied to the president, and the
prize, which included a check for
about $1.4 million, was the sort of
thing that would be barred if it
came from a foreign state. In the
end, however, Mr. Barron con-
cluded that Mr. Obama could ac-
cept the prize because the com-
mittee that chose him was inde-
pendent of the Norwegian govern-
ment and the prize itself was

WASHINGTON Donald J.
Trump ran for president boasting
that he knew more about fighting
terrorists than Americas gener-
als.
But now that Mr. Trump is the
president-elect, he is spending a
great deal of his time with retired
generals, and those of a particular
breed: commanders who, when
they served, were often at odds
with President Obama.
One has been named as Mr.
Trumps national security adviser,
and several others are candidates
for coveted positions in his cab-
inet or are advising him on how to
confront the worlds greatest
threats. They would give his for-
eign policy a far more aggressive
cast than Mr. Obamas.

for having strong, even swagger-

say that if Mr. Trump stacks criti-

could lead to an undue emphasis
on military force in American for-
eign policy.

Forecasting Era of Tax
Cuts and Spending AN APPEAL ON YOUTUBE
By LANDON THOMAS Jr.
Two weeks after Donald J.
Trump swept to victory, investors
from around the world are betting
that his promises of tax cuts,
fewer regulations and a spend-
thrift federal government can re-
charge the American economy.
This burst of exuberance sent
the major markets to record highs
on Monday, as investors contin-
ued to pull out of government
bond funds whose yields are mi-
serly. The momentum has shown
few signs of slowing and has re-
sulted in significant flows of
money being poured into United
States stocks.
The rush of money has also
pushed up the value of the dollar
against the currencies of devel-
oped nations, such as the euro,
and those of developing nations
like Brazil, Turkey and Mexico. A
strong dollar that is underpinned
by rising interest rates tends to
spell trouble for emerging mar-
kets, as investors move money
from these countries, creating
havoc and making it harder for
governments and corporations to
pay off their dollar-denominated
debts.
For that reason, many econo-
mists have warned that the down-
side to a Trump-inspired revival of
the United States economy is a
spate of calamities in emerging
markets, as investors head
quickly for the exit.
The recent euphoria stands in
sharp contrast to Wall Streets
prediction, before the election, of
market mayhem if Mr. Trump
were to win. The view had been
that his unpredictable ways would
spook the financial world, not
least his threat to rip up trade

RUNS SMOOTHLY
Softer Tone in Avoiding
Topics Like Terrorism
and Immigration
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
and JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
WASHINGTON President-
elect Donald J. Trump on Monday
released a two-and-a-half-minute
infomercial-style video, turning to
social media to deliver a direct-to-
camera message in which he
vowed to create jobs, renegotiate
trade agreements, end restric-
tions on energy production and
impose bans on lobbying.
Mr. Trump offered what he
called an update on his transition,
which he said was going very
smoothly, efficiently and effec-
tively. Reading from a script and
looking into a camera, he steered
clear of his most inflammatory
campaign promises to deport im-
migrants and track Muslims and
his pledge to repeal the Affordable
Care Act.
Whether its producing steel,
building cars or curing disease, I
want the next generation of pro-
duction and innovation to happen
right here, in our great homeland:
America creating wealth and
jobs for American workers, Mr.
Trump said in the video.
The brief YouTube video offered
one of the few opportunities for
the public to hear from Mr. Trump
directly since he was elected two
weeks ago. The president-elect
has declined to hold a news con-
ference since his victory, and in-
stead has used early-morning
Twitter bursts to communicate.
Mr. Trump gave a brief middle-
of-the-night speech after Hillary
Clinton called him on Nov. 9. And
he sat for an interview with The
Wall Street Journal and an ap-
pearance, surrounded by his fam-
ily, on CBS Newss 60 Minutes
last week. Since then, he has
mostly been behind closed doors
as he assembles a cabinet and
White House team.

Doping Results Topple Podium
By REBECCA R. RUIZ
After disclosures of an exten-
sive, state-run doping program in
Russia, sports officials have been
retesting urine samples from the
2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics,
in Beijing and London. Their find-
ings have resulted in a top-to-bot-
tom rewriting of Olympics history.
More than 75 athletes from
those two Olympics have been
found, upon further scrutiny, to be
guilty of doping violations. A ma-
jority are from Russia and other
Eastern European countries. At
least 40 of them won medals. Dis-
ciplinary proceedings are con-
tinuing against other athletes, and
the numbers are expected to
climb.
Anyone looking at the record
books for the Beijing and London
Games might think them an illu-
sion. Medals are being stripped
from dozens of athletes and redis-
tributed to those who were de-
prived a spot on the podium.
The numbers are just impossi-
ble, incredible, said Gian-Franco
Kasper, an executive board mem-
ber of the International Olympic
Committee. We lose credibility.
Credibility is a major concern.
The results of the retests are
coming at a time of intense inter-
national scrutiny on Russian ath-
letes. The countrys longtime anti-
doping lab chief in May described
an elaborate doping program and
cheating scheme, and nearly a
third of Russias Olympic team
was barred from the Summer
Games in Rio de Janeiro.

nounced penalties for 16 athletes

first such ruling in three decades
of pitched legal battles over the is-

Federal courts have struck

grounds, but not on grounds that
they unfairly give advantage to a
political party the more com-
mon form of gerrymandering. The
case could now go directly to the

Hints of Reversal Likely to Come Pits West Wing vs. Left Wing
By MATT APUZZO
WASHINGTON President
Obama is on pace to be the first
president in a half-century to
leave office with a federal prison
population that is smaller than
when he was sworn in, a reflection
of eight years of liberal criminal
justice policies, historically low
crime rates and an aggressive use
of presidential commutations.
Mr. Obama granted clemency to
79 federal prisoners on Tuesday,
bringing his total to more than
1,000 inmates, most of whom were
serving lengthy prison terms un-
der strict sentences imposed at
the height of the war on drugs. An
additional 13,000 people have
been released early by the courts,
the Justice Department said.
But looming over the announce-
ment was the fact that President-
elect Donald J. Trumps nominee
for attorney general, Senator Jeff
Sessions of Alabama, strongly op-
posed Mr. Obamas liberal ap-
proach to criminal justice. Mr. Ses-
sions favors vigorous enforce-
ment of drug laws and the use of
mandatory minimum sentences.
Some of Mr. Obamas criminal
justice legacy is easily undone.
Justice Department policies that
discourage seeking mandatory
minimum sentences by default,
for instance, can be torn up. But
other changes, such as new sen-
tencing guidelines, will have a
lasting effect and will be difficult
to reverse, regardless of the ad-
ministration.

WASHINGTON Struggling
to respond to Donald J. Trumps
victory, a group of shellshocked
Democrats moved swiftly to en-
dorse Representative Keith Elli-
son of Minnesota for chairman of
the Democratic National Commit-
tee, hoping that he would be a
fresh face for a party with a de-
pleted bench.
But after steadily adding en-
dorsements from leading Demo-
crats in his bid to take over the
party, Mr. Ellison is encountering
resistance from a formidable cor-
ner: the White House.
In a sign of the discord gripping
the party, President Obamas loy-
alists, uneasy with the progres-
sive Mr. Ellison, have begun cast-
ing about for an alternative, ac-
cording to multiple Democratic of-
ficials close to the president.
The battle pits the titans of the
Democratic Party against one an-
other, with Mr. Obamas camp at
odds with figures like Chuck Schu-
mer, the new Senate Democratic
leader, and Senator Elizabeth
Warren of Massachusetts.
Mr. Obamas advisers, some of
whom discussed the party leader-
ship race at a White House meet-
ing last week, have talked about
whether Labor Secretary Thomas
E. Perez and former Gov. Jennifer
Granholm of Michigan would be
willing to run for the post. Mr. Pe-

striking given the outsize role the
issue played during the presiden-

a private email server as secre-

For Facebook, Censorship Tool Koch Brothers Are Winners

Could Reopen a Door to China
By MIKE ISAAC
SAN FRANCISCO Mark
Zuckerberg, Facebooks chief ex-
ecutive, has cultivated relation-
ships with Chinas leaders, includ-
ing President Xi Jinping. He has
paid multiple visits to the country
to meet its top internet execu-
tives. He has made an effort to
learn Mandarin.
Inside Facebook, the work to
enter China runs far deeper.
The social network has quietly
developed software to suppress
posts from appearing in peoples
news feeds in specific geographic
areas, according to three current
and former Facebook employees,
who asked for anonymity because
the tool is confidential. The fea-
ture was created to help Facebook
get into China, a market where the
social network has been blocked,
these people said. Mr. Zuckerberg
has supported and defended the
effort, the people added.
Facebook has restricted con-
tent in other countries before,
such as Pakistan, Russia and Tur-
key, in keeping with the typical
practice of American internet
companies that generally comply
with government requests to
block certain content after it is
posted. Facebook blocked roughly
55,000 pieces of content in about
20 countries between July 2015
and December 2015, for example.
But the new feature takes that a
step further by preventing con-
tent from appearing in feeds in
China in the first place.
Facebook does not intend to
suppress the posts itself. Instead,
it would offer the software to en-
able a third party in this case,

In Fight Over Madoff Riches
By RANDALL SMITH
The company led by the Ameri-
can billionaire Koch brothers,
along with dozens of banks and
fund managers, kept billions of
dollars in profit from Bernard L.
Madoffs Ponzi scheme in ac-
counts offshore. As it turns out,
that was a good decision.
Koch Industries and others who
invested in the Madoff fund from
offshore accounts won a key rul-
ing in federal bankruptcy court on
Monday, when the judge said cer-
tain funds held abroad estimat-
ed at about $2 billion could not

Weighing Giuliani

By MARK LANDLER

WASHINGTON President-
elect Donald J. Trump moved
swiftly on Wednesday to diversify
his cabinet and try to heal linger-

For Education, an Advocate Who Backs For U.N., a Daughter of Immigrants
Shifting Money From Public Schools Who Is a Neophyte in Foreign Affairs
By KATE ZERNIKE
It is hard to find anyone more passionate
about the idea of steering public dollars
away from traditional public schools than
Betsy DeVos, Donald J. Trumps pick as the
cabinet secretary overseeing the nations
education system.
For nearly 30 years, as a philanthropist,
activist and Republican fund-raiser, she
has pushed to give families taxpayer
money in the form of vouchers to attend
private and parochial schools, pressed to
expand publicly funded but privately run
charter schools, and tried to strip teacher
unions of their influence.
A daughter of privilege, she also married
into it; her husband, Dick, who ran unsuc-
cessfully for governor of Michigan a dec-
ade ago, is heir to the Amway fortune. Like
many education philanthropists, she ar-
gues that childrens ZIP codes should not
confine them to failing schools.
But Ms. DeVoss efforts to expand edu-
cational opportunity in her home state of
Michigan and across the country have fo-
cused little on existing public schools, and
almost entirely on establishing newer,
more entrepreneurial models to compete
with traditional schools for students and
money. Her donations and advocacy go al-
most entirely toward groups seeking to

move students and money away from what
Mr. Trump calls failing government
schools.
Conservative school choice activists
hailed her on Wednesday as a fellow dis-
rupter, and as someone who would block
what they see as federal intrusion on local
schools.
Former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, where
Ms. DeVos helped push legislation estab-
lishing tax credits for scholarships to pri-
vate schools, called her an outstanding
pick, a passionate change agent to press
for a new education vision.

ATLANTA Gov. Nikki R. Haley of
South Carolina is the daughter of immi-
grants, favors free markets and global
trade, and earned international attention
for speaking out against the Confederate
battle flag in the aftermath of the 2015 mas-
sacre at a black church in Charleston. Dur-
ing Donald J. Trumps presidential cam-
paign, she sharply criticized his demeanor
and warned what it might mean for Ameri-
can diplomacy even suggesting that his
tendency to lash out at critics could cause a
world war.
But on Wednesday, Mr. Trump named
Ms. Haley as his choice for ambassador to
the United Nations, a move that will proba-
bly serve to both assuage and confound the
president-elects critics, raising questions
about the tone and direction of his foreign
policy. As an Indian-American woman, she
would also add ethnic and gender diversity
to the appointments, so far predominantly
of white men, he has made to other top
posts in the administration.
In a statement, Ms. Haley said she had
accepted Mr. Trumps offer because she
felt good about South Carolinas economic
standing. She added that this months elec-
tions had brought exciting changes to

When the president believes you have
a major contribution to make to the wel-
fare of our nation, and to our nations
standing in the world, that is a calling that
is important to heed, the statement said.
Little is known about how Ms. Haley
views Americas role in the world. But an
equally important mystery is what her
clout might be in the Trump administra-
tion.
Has Mr. Trump placed her in a post he
considers marginal? Or will Ms. Haley

education secretary, would be the
first women in Mr. Trumps cab-
inet. Mr. Carson, whose selection
as secretary of housing and urban
development is expected to be an-
nounced on Friday, would be the
first African-American.
But none of these choices sug-
gest a president-elect who is
reaching beyond reliably conser-
vative precincts to fill his adminis-
tration.
Ms. Haley, 44, an Indian-Ameri-

MOSUL, Iraq By the time lit-

the field clinic near the front line in
Mosul, she was already dead. All
her father could do was bundle her
up in a golden blanket, carry her
to a nearby mosque and bury her.
When a Humvee pulled up to

Promising Drug
For Alzheimers
Fails in a Trial
By PAM BELLUCK
An experimental Alzheimers
drug that had previously ap-
peared to show promise in slow-
ing the deterioration of thinking
and memory has failed in a large
Eli Lilly clinical trial, dealing a sig-
nificant disappointment to pa-
tients hoping for a treatment that
would alleviate their symptoms.
The failure of the drug, so-
lanezumab, underscores the diffi-
culty of treating people who show
even mild dementia, and supports
the idea that by that time, the
damage in their brains may al-
ready be too extensive. And be-
cause the drug attacked the amy-
loid plaques that are the hallmark
of Alzheimers, the trial results re-
new questions about a leading
theory of the disease, which con-
tends that it is largely caused by
amyloid buildup.
No drug so far has been able to
demonstrate that removing or
preventing the accumulation of
amyloid translates into a result
that matters for patients: stalling
or blocking some of the symptoms
of dementia. Its not going to be
disease-modifying therapy for
mild patients, so thats heart-
breaking, said Dave Ricks, the in-

Divides G.O.P.
Factions Are Split Over
Romney and Giuliani
By JEREMY W. PETERS
and MAGGIE HABERMAN
WASHINGTON Rival fac-
tions of Republicans are locked in
an increasingly caustic and public
battle to influence President-elect
Donald J. Trumps choice for sec-
retary of state, leaving a promi-
nent hole in an otherwise quickly
formed national security team
that is unlikely to be filled until
next week at the earliest.
The debate inside Mr. Trumps
wide circle of formal and informal
advisers pitting supporters of
one leading contender, Mitt Rom-
ney, against those of another, Ru-
dolph W. Giuliani has led to the
kind of dramatic airing of differ-
ences that characterized Mr.
Trumps unconventional and often
squabbling campaign team.
And it traces the outlines of the
enduring split in the Republican
Party between establishment fig-
ures who scoffed at Mr. Trumps
chances of victory and the grass-
roots insurgents who backed him
as a disrupter of the Washington
power structure.
The most publicly vocal faction
has been the group opposed to Mr.
Romney, which has questioned
whether he would be loyal after
his searing criticism of Mr. Trump
during the campaign. But Mr.

Voices of ISIS,

By ADAM GOLDMAN
and ERIC SCHMITT
WASHINGTON In the sum-
mer of 2015, armed American
drones over eastern Syria stalked
Junaid Hussain, an influential
hacker and recruiter for the Is-
lamic State.
For weeks, Mr. Hussain was
careful to keep his young stepson
by his side, and the drones held
their fire. But late one night, Mr.
Hussain left an internet cafe
alone, and minutes later a Hellfire
missile killed him as he walked be-
tween two buildings in Raqqa,
Syria, the Islamic States de facto
capital.
Mr. Hussain, a 21-year-old from
Birmingham, England, was a
leader of a band of English-speak-
ing computer specialists who had
given a far-reaching megaphone
to Islamic State propaganda and
exhorted online followers to carry
out attacks in the West. One by
one, American and allied forces
have killed the most important of

RISING SEAS TURN
COASTAL HOUSES
INTO A GAMBLE
FEARS OF MARKET CRASH
Owners and Real Estate
Industry Struggle to
Adapt to Risks
By IAN URBINA
MIAMI Real estate agents
looking to sell coastal properties
usually focus on one thing: how
close the home is to the waters
edge. But buyers are increasingly
asking instead how far back it is
from the waterline. How many
feet above sea level? Is it fortified
against storm surges? Does it
have emergency power and sump
pumps?
Rising sea levels are changing
the way people think about water-
front real estate. Though demand
remains strong and developers
continue to build near the water in
many coastal cities, homeowners
across the nation are slowly grow-
ing wary of buying property in ar-
eas most vulnerable to the effects
of climate change.
A warming planet has already
forced a number of industries
coal, oil, agriculture and utilities
among them to account for po-
tential future costs of a changed
climate. The real estate industry,
particularly along the vulnerable
coastlines, is slowly awakening to
the need to factor in the risks of
catastrophic damage from cli-
mate change, including that
wrought by rising seas and storm-
driven flooding.
But many economists say that
this reckoning needs to happen
much faster and that home buyers
urgently need to be better in-
formed. Some analysts say the
economic impact of a collapse in
the waterfront property market
could surpass that of the bursting
dot-com and real estate bubbles of
2000 and 2008.

CHASSIEU, France A patri-
otic sea of supporters, waving red,
white and blue flags, greeted the
newly ascendant presidential
hopeful Franois Fillon this week
at a soulless conference center in
this suburb of Lyon.
Mr. Fillon described radical Is-
lam as a totalitarianism like the
Nazis to the cheers of an enthusi-
astic crowd, adding that France
would need Russias help to fight
it. Catholics, Protestants and Jews
dont denounce the values of the
Republic, he thundered unlike

gion.
Weve got to reduce immigra-
tion to its strict minimum, he
said. Our country is not a sum of
communities; it is an identity!
In a year when nativist politics
have become the ticket to elector-
al victory, Mr. Fillon, 62, a dark-
suited, stern-faced former prime
minister, has managed to success-
fully ride the same nationalist and
xenophobic currents that have
pushed politicians in Britain and
the United States to victory.
For months, Mr. Fillon polled
third and even fourth among pres-

WASHINGTON The Obama
administration said on Friday that
despite Russian attempts to un-
dermine the presidential election,
it has concluded that the results
accurately reflect the will of the
American people.
The statement came as liberal
opponents of Donald J. Trump,
some citing fears of vote hacking,
are seeking recounts in three
states Wisconsin, Michigan and
Pennsylvania where his margin
of victory was extremely thin.
A drive by Jill Stein, the Green
Party candidate, for recounts in
those states had brought in more
than $5 million by midday on Fri-
day, her campaign said, and had
increased its goal to $7 million.
She filed for a recount in Wiscon-
sin on Friday, about an hour be-
fore the deadline.
In its statement, the adminis-
tration said, The Kremlin proba-
bly expected that publicity sur-
rounding the disclosures that fol-
lowed the Russian government-
directed compromises of emails
from U.S. persons and institu-
tions, including from U.S. political
organizations, would raise ques-
tions about the integrity of the
election process that could have
undermined the legitimacy of the
president-elect.
That was a reference to the
breach of the Democratic Na-
tional Committees email system,
and the leak of emails from figures
like John D. Podesta, Hillary Clin-
tons campaign chairman.
Nevertheless, we stand behind
our election results, which accu-
rately reflect the will of the Ameri-
can people, it added.
Supporters of Mrs. Clinton have
enthusiastically backed the notion
of challenging the results in the
three states as a last-ditch effort to
reverse Mr. Trumps clear major-
ity in the Electoral College. They
have seized on suggestions by
some computer scientists that the
states, which were crucial to Mr.
Trumps victory, need to manually

A Revolutionary Who Defied the U.S.
And Held Cuba in His Thrall
Fidel Castro in Havana in 1964. His bushy beard, long Cuban cigar and green fatigues became universal symbols of rebellion.
By ANTHONY DePALMA
Fidel Castro, the fiery apostle of
revolution who brought the Cold
War to the Western Hemisphere
in 1959 and then defied the United
States for nearly half a century as
Cubas maximum leader, bedev-
iling 11 American presidents and
briefly pushing the world to the
brink of nuclear war, died on Fri-
day. He was 90.
Cuban state television an-
nounced the death but gave no
other details.
In declining health for several
years, Mr. Castro had orches-
trated what he hoped would be the
continuation of his Communist
revolution, stepping aside in 2006
when a serious illness felled him.
He provisionally ceded much of
his power to his younger brother
Ral, now 85, and two years later
formally resigned as president.
Ral Castro, who had fought
alongside Fidel Castro from the
earliest days of the insurrection
and remained minister of defense
and his brothers closest confi-
dant, has ruled Cuba since then,
although he has told the Cuban
people he intends to resign in 2018.
Fidel Castro had held on to
power longer than any other liv-
ing national leader except Queen
Elizabeth II. He became a tower-
ing international figure whose im-
portance in the 20th century far
exceeded what might have been
expected from the head of state of
a Caribbean island nation of 11 mil-
lion people.
He dominated his country with
strength and symbolism from the
day he triumphantly entered Ha-
vana on Jan. 8, 1959, and com-
pleted his overthrow of Fulgencio
Batista by delivering his first ma-

MIAMI It did not matter that
it was the middle of the night, or
that it began to drizzle. When this
citys Cuban-American residents
heard the news, they sprinted to
Little Havana. They banged pots
and pans. They sang the Cuban
national anthem and waved the
Cuban flag. They danced and
hugged, laughed and cried,
shouted and rejoiced.
The seemingly eternal vigil for
the death of Fidel Castro, a man
who had profoundly changed the
lives of hundreds of thousands of
people here dividing their fam-
ilies, taking their property, impris-

their friends and relatives,
wrenching them from their homes
and their country was over. Fi-

More than five decades had
passed since Ms. De Lara stepped
off a plane alone, from Cuba, sent
here at age 12 by parents who
feared for her future after the Cas-
tro revolution. For her and so
many others, Mr. Castros death
was a watershed, for he embodied
the revolution and the heartbreak
that followed.

MANILA On Thanksgiving
Day, a Philippine developer
named Jose E. B. Antonio hosted
a company anniversary bash at
one of Manilas poshest hotels. He
had much to be thankful for.
In October, he had quietly been
named a special envoy to the
United States by the Philippine
president, Rodrigo Duterte. Mr.
Antonio was nearly finished build-
ing a $150 million tower in Manilas
financial district a 57-story
symbol of affluence and capital-
ism, which bluntly promotes itself
with the slogan Live Above the
Rest. And now his partner on the
project, Donald J. Trump, had just
been elected president of the
United States.
After the election, Mr. Antonio
flew to New York for a private
meeting at Trump Tower with the
president-elects children, who
have been involved in the Manila
project from the beginning, as
have Mr. Antonios children. The
Trumps and Antonios have other
ventures in the works, including
Trump-branded resorts in the
Philippines, Mr. Antonios son
Robbie Antonio said.
We will continue to give you
products that you can enjoy and
be proud of, the elder Mr. Anto-
nio, one of the richest men in the
Philippines, told the 500 friends,
employees and customers gath-
ered for his star-studded celebra-
tion in Manila.
Mr. Antonios combination of
jobs he is a business partner
with Mr. Trump, while also repre-
senting the Philippines in its rela-
tionship with the United States
and the president-elect is
hardly inconsequential, given
some of the weighty issues on the
diplomatic table.
Among them, Mr. Duterte has
urged a separation from the
United States and has called for

Soda Taxes Gain Acceptance,
City by Revenue-Hungry City
By ANAHAD OCONNOR and MARGOT SANGER-KATZ
For more than a decade, Coca-
Cola, Pepsi and other beverage
companies have fought mightily
against efforts to tax sugary so-
das, defeating more than three
dozen such proposals around the
country.
But this month, voters in San
Francisco, Oakland and Albany,
Calif., as well as Boulder, Colo.,
stunned the industry by approv-
ing ballot measures in favor of
soda taxes. Cook County, Ill., fol-
lowed a few days later, bringing a
soft-drink tax to Chicago and sur-
rounding areas. They are joining
Berkeley, Calif., which passed a
tax two years ago, and Philadel-
phia, which passed one in June,
bringing to seven the number of
American communities with soda
taxes.
With that public momentum, a
soda tax may be coming to a city
near you.
Advocates say the recent sweep
represents a watershed moment
in the fight for soft-drink taxes.

Once viewed as measures likely to

Clashing Emotions of 3 Cuban Generations

rode victoriously into Havana on
Jan. 8, 1959, Juan Montes Torre
rushed into the streets to cheer. A
poor, uneducated laborer from the
eastern countryside of Cuba, he
had arrived in the capital a few
years earlier and, like most of his
neighbors, could hardly believe
what was happening.
It was an emotional shock, Mr.
Montes said. These bearded

she found Stephen K. Bannon already at his
desk, which was cluttered with takeout cof-
fees. They were co-writers on a Ronald Rea-
gan documentary, but Mr. Bannon had pretty
much taken it over. He had been at work for
hours, he told her, writing feverishly about his
political hero.
Today, with Donald J. Trump, whose elec-

threshold of power, the 2004 film In the Face

over-the-top, apocalyptic feel: lurid footage of
bombs dropping on cities alternating with
grainy clips of Reagan speeches, as a choir
provides a soaring soundtrack. The message:
Only one man was up to the challenge posed
by looming domestic and global threats.

outsider, a radical with extreme views.
The Reagan presidency has been a recur-
ring touchstone for Mr. Bannon since 1980,

TRUMP PROMOTES
A BASELESS CLAIM
ON ILLEGAL VOTING
NO PROOF OF MILLIONS
Internal Rift Grows Over
Potential of Romney

By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
and MAGGIE HABERMAN
WASHINGTON President-
elect Donald J. Trump said on Sun-
day that he had fallen short in the
popular vote in the general elec-
tion only because millions of peo-
ple had voted illegally, leveling the
baseless claim as part of a daylong
storm of Twitter posts voicing an-
ger about a three-state recount
push.
In addition to winning the
Electoral College in a landslide, I
won the popular vote if you deduct
the millions of people who voted il-
legally, Mr. Trump wrote Sunday
afternoon.
The series of posts came one
day after Hillary Clintons cam-
paign said it would participate in a
recount effort being undertaken
in Wisconsin, and potentially in
similar pushes in Michigan and
Pennsylvania, by Jill Stein, who
was the Green Party candidate.
Mr. Trumps statements revived
claims he made during the cam-
paign, as polls suggested he was
losing to Mrs. Clinton, about a
rigged and corrupt system.
The Twitter outburst also came
as Mr. Trump is laboring to fill cru-
cial positions in his cabinet, with
his advisers enmeshed in a rift
over whom he should select as
secretary of state. On Sunday
morning, Kellyanne Conway, a top
adviser, extended a public cam-
paign to undermine one contend-
er, Mitt Romney a remarkable
display by a member of a presi-
dent-elects team. In television ap-
pearances, she accused Mr. Rom-
ney of having gone out of his way
to hurt Mr. Trump during the Re-
publican primary contests.
Claims of wide-scale voter
fraud have been advanced for
years by Republicans, though vir-
tually no evidence of such impro-
prieties has been discovered es-
pecially on the scale of millions
that Mr. Trump claimed.
Late on Sunday, again without
providing evidence, he referred in
a Twitter post to serious voter
fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire
and California.
A day earlier, Mr. Trumps tran-
sition team ridiculed the idea that
recounts were needed. This is a
scam by the Green Party for an
election that has already been
conceded, it said in a statement,

Assads Prize PLAN TO REVIVE

If He Prevails:
Syria in Tatters
A Nation of Insurgency
and Economic Ruin
By ALISSA J. RUBIN
BEIRUT, Lebanon With the
Syrian government making large
territorial gains in Aleppo on
Monday, routing rebel fighters
and sending thousands of people
fleeing for their lives, President
Bashar al-Assad is starting to look
as if he may survive the uprising,
even in the estimation of some of
his staunchest opponents.
Yet, Mr. Assads victory, if he
should achieve it, may well be
Pyrrhic: He would rule over an
economic wasteland hampered by
a low-level insurgency with no
end in sight, diplomats and ex-
perts in the Middle East and else-
where say.
As rebel forces in Aleppo ab-
sorbed the harshest blow since
they seized more than half the city
four years ago, residents reported
seeing people cut down in the
streets as they searched franti-
cally for shelter. The assault punc-
tuated months of grinding battle
that has destroyed entire neigh-
borhoods of the city, once Syrias
largest and an industrial hub.
If Aleppo fell, the Syrian gov-
ernment would control the coun-
trys five largest cities and most of
its more populous west. That
would leave the rebels fighting
Mr. Assad with only the northern
province of Idlib and a few iso-
lated pockets of territory in
Aleppo and Homs Provinces and
around the capital, Damascus.
But analysts doubted that
would put an end to five years of
war that have driven five million
Syrians into exile and killed at
least a quarter of a million people.

A student at Ohio State Univer-

and then began slashing passers-

A university police officer fa-

a minute of the attack, but the
sprawling campus in Columbus,
Ohio, remained on lockdown for
about an hour and a half as people
ran for cover and barricaded
themselves in academic buildings
and dorms.
Investigators were looking into
whether the attack was an act of
terrorism and were seeking infor-

Trump has given China a leading
role in the fight against climate
change. It has called on the United
States to recognize established
science and to work with other
countries to reduce dependence
on dirty fuels like coal and oil.
But there is a problem: Even as
it does so, China is scrambling to
mine and burn more coal.
A lack of stockpiles and worries
about electricity blackouts are
spurring Chinese officials to re-
verse curbs that once helped re-
duce coal production. Mines are

back with fatter paychecks.
Chinas response to coal scarci-
ty shows how hard it will be to
wean the country off coal. That
makes it harder for China and the
world to meet emissions targets,
as Chinese coal is the worlds larg-
est single source of carbon emis-
sions from human activities.
Among China watchers, the
turnabout also has contributed to
questions about the fate of Chinas
current crop of economic plan-
ners.
Here in Jincheng, a smoggy city
in Chinas coal country, the about-
face has led to a steady hum of ac-
tivity. On a recent afternoon, other
trains stopped to make way for
two electric locomotives, their
horns blowing, pulling more than
50 empty coal hopper cars ready
to be filled. Large coal-carrying
trucks now form half-mile lines.

Through decades of ups and

Continent stable.
But a growing movement
within Europe that includes Mr.
Fillon, along with others of a
more populist bent, is pushing a
new policy: instead of standing
up to President Vladimir V. Putin
of Russia, stand with him.
Mr. Fillon has called for lifting

RALEIGH, N.C. There is no
doubt that officers surrounded
him. That they shouted at him.
That they shot him. But a crucial
question about the fatal con-
frontation between Keith L. Scott
and police officers in Charlotte,
N.C., has always been whether Mr.
Scott was wielding a gun.
On Wednesday, in a 40-minute
news conference that at times
took on the feel of a courtroom ar-
gument, R. Andrew Murray, the
district attorney for Mecklenburg
County, laid out a case that Mr.
Scott, who was black, had a gun in
his hands and had not heeded
warnings to drop it when he was
shot and killed.
Its a justified shooting based
on the totality of the circum-
stances, Mr. Murray said. No
charges, he said, will be filed
against the officer, Brentley Vin-
son, who is also black.
Mr. Murray made his case with
an elaborate presentation of vid-
eos, enhanced digital images and
other evidence, a reflection of the
increasing sophistication of pros-
ecutors who must also sway a

Cancer Study of Hallucinogen Hints at New Role for Illegal Drug

On a summer morning in 2013,
Octavian Mihai entered a softly lit
room furnished with a small stat-

a single red rose. From an earth-

capsule of psilocybin, an ingredi-

In tiny Sellersburg, Ind., just
across the border from Kentucky,
Manitowoc Foodservice is in the
final stages of closing a factory
that makes beverage dispensers
and ice machines and is laying off
84 workers.
The company is moving pro-
duction to Mexico.
Just 100 miles away, President-
elect Donald J. Trump will appear
on Thursday with workers at Car-
riers Indianapolis plant to boast
of his success in saving at least
1,000 jobs from moving to Mexico.
The truth across the Rust Belt is
that there are more Manitowoc
Foodservices than Carriers. The
layoffs and closing in Sellersburg
follow similar shutdowns by Man-
itowoc in Ohio and Wisconsin.
Ill give Trump his due, but I
hope he and the American people
and Congress dont forget about
all these other jobs going to Mex-
ico, said Chuck Jones, the presi- former Goldman executive and
dent of Local 1999 of the United
Steelworkers in Indianapolis,
which represents Carrier. Down
the pike, a lot more are going to be
moving out.
Indeed, Rexnord, the ball bear-
ing factory in Indianapolis where
Mr. Jones went to work straight
out of high school nearly 40 years
ago, said in October it would be
moving to Mexico. It is just a mile
from the Carrier plant.
The mayor of Indianapolis, Joe
Hogsett, and Senator Joe Don-
nelly, both Democrats, tried to ex-
ert Trumplike pressure to force
Rexnord to rethink its plans, but
so far the company has not shown
any sign it will change course.
On a personal level at Carrier,
it is huge, said Jerry N. Conover,
director of the Indiana Business
Research Center at the Kelley
School of Business at Indiana Uni-
versity. But by itself, the disap-
pearance or retention of 1,000 jobs
is a small slice of the total econ-
omy in Indiana.
I think there will be continued
downward pressure on employ-
ment in factories because of
trends toward automation espe-
cially and moving to lower-cost ar-
eas for production, he added.

An Ethics Agency Gets Excited
By Trumps Vague Financial Vow
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR and ERIC LIPTON
WASHINGTON The Office
of Government Ethics has in-
formed lawyers for President-
elect Donald J. Trump that only a
divestiture of his financial stake in
his sprawling real estate business
will resolve ethical concerns
about conflicts of interest as he as-
sumes the office of the presidency.
The revelation from the nor-
mally secretive federal agency
came Wednesday in a bizarre se-
ries of oddly informal postings on
its Twitter account after officials
apparently concluded, errone-
ously, that Mr. Trump had commit-
ted on his own Twitter account to
divesting his assets.
As we discussed with your
counsel, divestiture is the way to
resolve these conflicts, the office
wrote on Twitter, revealing legal

Team Eager to Slash

By LANDON THOMAS Jr.
and ALEXANDRA STEVENSON
In a campaign commercial that
ran just before the election, Don-
ald J. Trumps voice boomed over
a series of Wall Street images. He
described a global power struc-
ture that is responsible for the eco-
nomic decisions that have robbed
our working class, stripped our
country of its wealth, and put that
money into the pockets of a hand-
ful of large corporations.
The New York Stock Exchange,
the hedge fund billionaire George
Soros and the chief executive of
the investment bank Goldman
Sachs flashed across the screen.
Now Mr. Trump has named a
co-investor with Mr. Soros to
spearhead his economic policy.
With Wednesdays nomination
of Steven Mnuchin, a Goldman
trader turned hedge fund man-
ager and Hollywood financier, to
be Treasury secretary, a new eco-
nomic leadership is taking shape
in Washington.
Mr. Mnuchin will join Wilbur L.

In fact, Mr. Trump had made no
such commitment, at least pub-
licly.
In a series of early-morning
posts on Twitter, Mr. Trump said
he would separate himself from
the operations of his vast global
business empire.
Mr. Trump provided few details
in his posts and did not say
whether he would divest his as-
sets. But he promised to hold a
major news conference with his
adult children in two weeks to re-
veal legal documents that would
remove him from what he called

company. He vowed to leave the

Cheers at Carrier, but
Jobs Will Be Lost MATTIS FOUGHT IN IRAQ
By NELSON D. SCHWARTZ
INDIANAPOLIS The long-
promised call from Donald J.
Trump to the heating and cooling
giant Carrier came about a week
after the election.
The president-elect warned
Gregory Hayes, chief executive of
Carriers parent, United Technolo-
gies, that he had to find a way to
save a substantial share of the
jobs it had vowed to move to Mex-
ico, or he would face the wrath of
the incoming administration.
Carrier got the message. And
on Thursday, as he toured the fac-
tory to take credit for saving
roughly half of the 2,000 jobs Indi-
ana stood to lose, Mr. Trump
vowed that he intended to follow
through on his pledges to impose
stiff tariffs on imports from com-
panies that move production over-
seas and ship their products back
to the United States.
This is the way its going to be,
Mr. Trump said in an interview
with The New York Times. Cor-
porate America is going to have to
understand that we have to take
care of our workers also.
Mr. Trump was accompanied by
his vice president-elect, Mike
Pence, Indianas governor. Mr.
Pence was there when the presi-
dent-elect placed his call to Mr.
Hayes, and Mr. Pence sealed the
deal with the United Technologies
chief on Monday.
I dont want them moving out
of the country without conse-
quences, Mr. Trump said in the
interview. He said he was not con-
cerned if that warning angered

cans on Capitol Hill.

Ex-General Ran Afoul of

Stand on Iran
By MICHAEL R. GORDON

WASHINGTON President-

Thursday he had chosen James N.
Mattis, a hard-charging retired
general who led a Marine division
to Baghdad during the 2003 inva-
sion of Iraq, to serve as his secre-
tary of defense.
Mr. Trump made the announce-
ment at a rally in Cincinnati, call-
ing General Mattis the closest
thing we have to Gen. George Pat-
ton.
HILARY SWIFT FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES
James N. Mattis retired from
the Marines in 2013.
General Mattis, 66, led the
United States Central Command,
which oversees military opera-
tions in the Middle East and
Southwest Asia, from 2010 to 2013.
His tour there was cut short by the
Obama administration, which be-
lieved he was too hawkish on Iran.
But his insistence that Iran is
the greatest threat to peace in the
Middle East, as well as his acerbic
criticism of the Obama adminis-
trations initial efforts to combat
the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria,
made him an attractive choice for
the incoming president.
After retiring from the military,
General Mattis told Congress that

in Congress plan to move almost

HOLLAND, Mich. While
much of the American political
class has been consumed with re-
criminations over the wrenching
loss of manufacturing jobs, Chuck
Reid has been quietly adding
them.
His company, First Class Seat-
ing, makes recliner seats for mov-
ie theaters here at a factory on the
shores of Lake Michigan. Since he
bought the business three years
ago, its work force has grown to 40
from 15.
But those jobs will be in jeop-
ardy if President-elect Donald J.
Trump follows through on his
combative promises to punish
countries he deems guilty of un-
fair trade.
Mr. Trump secured the White
House in part by vowing to bring
manufacturing jobs back to Amer-
ican shores. The president-elect
has fixed on China as a symbol of
nefarious trade practices while
threatening to slap 45 percent pu-
nitive tariffs on Chinese imports.
But many existing American
manufacturing jobs depend heav-
ily on access to a broad array of

The Economy
Jobless Rate Falls, but

By PATRICIA COHEN
Departing occupants of the
White House rarely hand off an
improving economy to a succes-
sor from the opposing party.
When Barack Obama was wait-
ing in the wings after the 2008
presidential election, for example,
the economy was in a severe
downward spiral: Employers re-
ported cutting 533,000 jobs that
November, the biggest monthly
loss in a generation.
But according to the govern-
ments report on Friday, Donald J.
Trump can expect to inherit an
economy that is still on the up-
swing. An additional 178,000 peo-
ple were added to payrolls last
month, bringing the total increase
in private sector jobs to 15.6 mil-
lion since early 2010. The unem-
ployment rate fell to 4.6 percent
from 4.9 percent the previous
month. Wage growth, though
slower, is still running ahead of in-
flation, and while the loss of manu-
facturing jobs clouds the outlook
for some, consumers are express-
ing the highest levels of confi-
dence in nearly a decade.
The Federal Reserve is opti-
mistic enough about the econo-
mys underlying strength that it is
now set to raise the benchmark in-
terest rate when it meets later this
month.
The jobless rate for November,
the lowest since August 2007, is a
testimony to how strong employ-
ment growth has been, said Jim
OSullivan, chief United States
economist at High Frequency
Economics.
Jason Furman, now chairman
of President Obamas Council of
Economic Advisers, remembers

WITH TAIWAN CALL
Beijing Scoffs at Petty
Action Diplomats
Raise Concerns
By MARK LANDLER
and DAVID E. SANGER
WASHINGTON President-
elect Donald J. Trump spoke by
telephone with Taiwans president
on Friday, a striking break with
nearly four decades of diplomatic
practice that could precipitate a
major rift with China even before
Mr. Trump takes office.
Mr. Trumps office said he had
spoken with the Taiwanese presi-
dent, Tsai Ing-wen, who offered
her congratulations. He is be-
lieved to be the first president or
president-elect who has spoken to
a Taiwanese leader since at least
1979, when the United States sev-
ered diplomatic ties with Taiwan
as part of its recognition of the
Peoples Republic of China.
In the statement, Mr. Trumps
office said the two leaders had
noted the close economic, poli-
tical, and security ties between
Taiwan and the United States. Mr.
Trump, it said, also congratu-
lated President Tsai on becoming
President of Taiwan earlier this
year.
Mr. Trumps motives in taking
the call, which lasted more than 10
minutes, were not clear. In a Twit-
ter message late Friday, he said
Ms. Tsai CALLED ME.
But diplomats with ties to Tai-
wan said it was highly unlikely
that the Taiwanese leader would
have made the call without ar-
ranging it in advance. Taiwans
Central News Agency hailed it as
historic.
On Saturday, Chinas foreign
minister, Wang Yi, in his govern-
ments first official reaction,
played down the call.
Stressing the good relationship
between the United States and
China, Mr. Wang said, I also be-
lieve this will not change the One
China policy upheld by the Ameri-
can government for many years.
Mr. Wang, speaking to report-
ers in Beijing, reiterated that Tai-
wan was part of China. Uphold-
ing the One China policy is the
base rock and an important poli-
tical foundation for a healthy de-
velopment of China-U.S. relations.
Of course, we hope this will not be
interrupted in any way.
Mr. Wang characterized the call
as initiated by the Taiwanese gov-
ernment. We believe its a petty
action by the Taiwan side.
The president-elect has shown
little heed for the nuances of inter-
national diplomacy, holding a se-
ries of unscripted phone calls to
foreign leaders that have roiled
sensitive relationships with Brit-
ain, India and Pakistan. On Thurs-
day, the White House urged Mr.
Trump to use experts from the

Trump Thrusts Taiwan
Into Glare, Rattling Asia
President-Elects Phone Chat Raises Fears
of New Tensions and a Bolder China
By MARK LANDLER
WASHINGTON Over the
past two decades, Taiwan has
slipped from its position atop the
list of flash points in the complex
relationship between the United
States and China. In meetings be-
tween President Obama and Pres-
ident Xi Jinping of China, it has
typically come up after half a doz-
en more pressing issues, like
trade, cyberattacks and Beijings
aggressive moves in the South
China Sea.
Now, though, in a single proto-
col-shattering phone call with the
president of Taiwan, President-
elect Donald J. Trump has thrust it
back on the table. Not since Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon met with

WASHINGTON Days after
Islamist militants stormed the
American diplomatic compound
in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012, Lt.
Gen. Michael T. Flynn reached a
conclusion that stunned some of
his subordinates at the Defense
Intelligence Agency: Iran had a
role in the attack, he told them.
Now, he added, it was their job
to prove it and, by implication,
to show that the White House was
wrong about what had led to the
attack.
Mr. Flynn, whom President-
elect Donald J. Trump has chosen
to be his national security adviser,
soon took to pushing analysts to
find Irans hidden hand in the dis-
aster, according to current and
former officials familiar with the
episode. But like many other in-
vestigations into Benghazi, theirs
found no evidence of any links,
and the generals stubborn insist-
ence reminded some officials at
the agency of how the Bush ad-
ministration had once relentlessly
sought to connect Saddam Hus-
sein and Iraq to the Sept. 11, 2001,

relationship. A President Trump is
likely to see Taiwan as a useful
leverage point.

seemed inexplicable when Mr.

in retrospect, to have been a
shrewd dog whistle to a small but
highly motivated part of his base.

alone in his esteem for Mr. Putin.
Throughout the collection of white

root on both sides of the Atlantic,

Populists Win PROTESTERS GAIN

A Vote in Italy;
Premier Quits
Fears of Another Crisis
Ripple Across Europe
By JASON HOROWITZ
ROME Italy plunged into po-
litical and economic uncertainty
early Monday as Prime Minister
Matteo Renzi said he would resign
after voters decisively rejected
constitutional changes, a step cer-
tain to reverberate across a Euro-
pean Union already buffeted by
anti-establishment anger.
The no won in an incredibly
clear way, Mr. Renzi said from the
Chigi Palace. Holding back tears
as he spoke in front of Italian and
European Union flags, the usually
brash and confident 41-year-old
said, I assume all the responsibil-
ity of the defeat, adding that my
experience of government ends
here. He said he would go later on
Monday to

nation is like-
ly to cause,
raised the prospect of punishment
in the markets, but also a caretak-
er government staffed with tech-
nocrats appointed by the Italian
president.
Another possibility is the call-
ing of early elections in 2017,
though that, too, was unclear be-
cause Italys new electoral law is
itself under review by Italys con-
stitutional court. The news sent
the euro down sharply in Asian
trading.
If early elections do occur next
year, 2017 is shaping up to be a
seminal year in the history of the
European Union with founding
members Germany, France and
potentially Italy all going to the
polls with strong Euro-skeptic and
populist candidates in the run-
ning.
Mr. Renzis defeat came hours
after voters in Austria, presented
with a stark ideological choice for
the largely ceremonial position of
head of state, chose Alexander
Van der Bellen, the former leader
of the small Green Party, over
Norbert Hofer of the far-right
Freedom Party.

OAKLAND, Calif. Carmen
Brito was asleep on Friday night
when she suddenly woke up gasp-
ing for breath. Outside her small
studio, one floor down from where
a raging concert was taking place,
she saw her neighbors wall on
fire.
Im pretty sure I was the first
person to see the fire, and when I
saw it, it was bigger than I was,
said Ms. Brito, 28. The inferno
killed at least 33 people and is re-
garded as one of the worst struc-
ture fires in the United States in
over a decade.
On Sunday, firefighters were
digging through the ruins of the
warehouse, where people had
gathered for an electronic dance
show on Friday when flames
ripped through the building, col-
lapsing the floors. The search of
the building, which had only two
exits, could continue for days, offi-
cials said at a news conference,
warning that the death toll could
climb considerably higher.
The authorities said on Sunday
that seven families had been noti-
fied that loved ones had died in the
fire, while many more awaited fur-
ther news. One victim was the son
of a local law enforcement officer,
said Sgt. Ray Kelly of the Alameda
County sheriffs office. This trag-
edy has hit very close to home for
our agency, he said. Other vic-
tims were from countries in Eu-
rope and Asia. The officials were
in the process of contacting agen-
cies abroad.
Ms. Brito was just one member
of a community of roughly 25 art-
ists who inhabited the building il-
legally but in plain sight of Oak-
land city officials. The building,
which was known as the Ghost
Ship and has been under investi-
gation for code violations, had a
permit to function as a warehouse,
but not as a residence or for a
party. A criminal investigation be-
gan on Sunday.
Ms. Brito said the fire started at
the very back of the building, in a
studio next to hers, when the cou-
ple who occupied the room were
gone. She said a firefighter inves-
tigating the blaze had asked her
whether the couple had recently
installed a refrigerator, which
they had, raising the possibility

Army Blocks Drilling

major victory on Sunday in its bat-
tle to block an oil pipeline being
built near its reservation when the
Department of the Army an-
nounced that it would not allow
the pipeline to be drilled under a
River.
The Army said it would look for
alternative routes for the $3.7 bil-
lion Dakota Access pipeline. Con-
struction of the route a half-mile
from the Standing Rock Sioux res-
ervation has become a global flash
point for environmental and indig-
enous activism, drawing thou-
sprawling prairie camp of tents,
tepees and yurts.
The best way to complete that
work responsibly and expedi-
tiously is to explore alternate
routes for the pipeline crossing,
Jo-Ellen Darcy, the Armys assist-
in a statement. The move could
presage a lengthy environmental
review that has the potential to
block the pipelines construction
for months or years.
But it was unclear how durable
the governments decision would
in the dwindling days of the
vealed in November that the
Army Corps of Engineers was
considering an alternative route.
The Corps of Engineers is part of
the Department of the Army.
President-elect Donald J.
Trump, however, has taken a dif-
ferent view of the project and said
as recently as last week that he
supported finishing the 1,170-mile
pipeline, which crosses four states
and is almost complete.
Though the Armys decision
calls for an environmental study
of alternative routes, the Trump
administration could ultimately

OAKLAND, Calif. The first
complaint came in 2014. Piles of
trash were reported next to the
building. Later that year, con-
struction materials blocking the
sidewalk drew another complaint.
Last month, another was lodged,
leading to an investigation of ille-
gal construction inside.
The warehouse that was en-
gulfed in flames on Friday night,
leaving at least 36 people dead,
was well known to people who
spent time there for being filled
with illegal residences and poten-
tially hazardous construction.
Known as the Ghost Ship, it had
become an artists colony, a refuge
from the Bay Areas rocketing
rents, and a space for perform-
ances like the concert that was un-
derway when the fire erupted.
The tragedy prompted ques-
tions about what officials should
have done to shut down the mot-
ley tenement. It also brought at-
tention to the boom in illegal hous-
ing across the region, where many
people have resorted to makeshift
living arrangements because they
have been priced out of the regu-
lar market. The questions were
many: How did the fire start? Was
it accidental or deliberate? Will
anyone be punished for the car-
nage?

Fake News Brought Real Guns
In Washington Pizzeria Attack
By CECILIA KANG
and ADAM GOLDMAN
WASHINGTON Edgar M.
Welch, a 28-year-old father of two
from Salisbury, N.C., recently read
online that Comet Ping Pong, a
pizza restaurant in northwest
Washington, was harboring
young children as sex slaves as
part of a child-abuse ring led by
Hillary Clinton.
The articles making those alle-
gations were widespread across
the web, appearing on sites in-
cluding Facebook and Twitter. Ap-
parently concerned, Mr. Welch
drove about six hours on Sunday
from his home to Comet Ping
Pong to see the situation for him-
self, according to court docu-
ments. Not long after arriving at
the pizzeria, the police said, he
fired from an assault-like AR-15 ri-
fle. The police arrested him. They
found a rifle and a handgun in the
restaurant. No one was hurt.
In an arraignment on Monday, a
heavily tattooed Mr. Welch, wear-
ing a white jumpsuit and shackles,
was ordered held. According to
the criminal complaint, he told the
authorities that he was armed to

panies in the United States than

at the goal here, he said, which
is to keep American businesses

On Face Veils teenKABUL, Afghanistan Fif-

ESSEN, Germany To loud
applause, Chancellor Angela
Merkel told her party members on
Tuesday that Germany should
ban full-face veils wherever le-
gally possible and that it would
not tolerate any application of
Shariah law over German justice.
Accepting her partys nomina-
tion as its candidate for another
four-year term, the chancellor
used the moment to broaden her
stance on banning the veil, trying
to deflect challenges from far-
right forces that have made some
of their deepest gains since World
War II.
In welcoming nearly one mil-
lion asylum seekers to Germany a
year ago, Ms. Merkel emerged as
a powerful voice for tolerance
across a Europe gripped by anxi-
ety over waves of arriving mi-
grants and fears of terrorism.
Now, as anti-immigrant parties
have advanced at the expense of
mainstream parties, including her
own, Ms. Merkel tried a tricky bal-
ancing act between holding fast to
Western values and tilting farther
right to avoid being outflanked by
populist challengers.
In the 80-minute speech, she re-
peated the same catalog of beliefs
in freedom and equal treatment
she had made as an implicit criti-
cism of President-elect Donald J.
Trump, but also stiffened her posi-
tion on the veil and suggested that
Germany would be more cautious

Air Force One
Sending a Signal in
Singling Out Boeing EX-SENATOR IS LOBBYIST
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
and CHRISTOPHER DREW
WASHINGTON President-
elect Donald J. Trump took a shot
on Tuesday at one of the nations
largest manufacturers, Boeing,
sharply criticizing a pending or-
der for a new Air Force One and
suggesting that the company was
doing a little bit of a number
with the cost of the next genera-
tion of presidential aircraft.
Boeing is building a brand new
747 Air Force One for future presi-
dents, but costs are out of control,
more than $4 billion, Mr. Trump
wrote on Twitter. Cancel order!
Although his post attracted at-
tention because it was about the
most famous airplane in the
world, the significance may be
broader: For perhaps the first
time since President John F. Ken-
nedy took on the steel industry in
the early 1960s, the heads of big
American companies are being
confronted by a leader willing to
call them out directly and publicly
for his policy and political aims.
Although President Obama
forcefully criticized Wall Street
and the financial industry after
Lehman Brothers collapsed in
2008, he tended not to single out
individual companies. But Mr.
Trump is now targeting Boeing a
week after he pushed Carrier and
its parent company, United Tech-
nologies, to keep about 1,000 man-
ufacturing jobs in Indiana, and
three weeks after he singled out a
Ford plant in Kentucky.
Executives who give him what
he wants may also be rewarded.
On Tuesday afternoon, the presi-
dent-elect escorted the billionaire
Japanese businessman Masayo-
shi Son to the lobby of Trump
Tower to announce that the tech-
nology conglomerate SoftBank
Group would be investing $50 bil-
lion in the United States. He called
Mr. Son one of the great men of
industry.

IN TRUMPS CALL
Behind the Scenes, a
High-Level Effort to

By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS

WASHINGTON Former
Senator Bob Dole, acting as a for-
eign agent for the government of
Taiwan, worked behind the scenes
over the past six months to estab-
lish high-level contact between
Taiwanese officials and Presi-
dent-elect Donald J. Trumps staff,
an outreach effort that culminated
last week in an unorthodox tele-
phone call between Mr. Trump
and Taiwans president.
Mr. Dole, a lobbyist with the
Washington law firm Alston &
Bird, coordi-
nated with Mr.

guage favorable to it in the Repub-
lican Party platform, according to
the documents.
Mr. Doles firm received
$140,000 from May to October for
the work, the forms said.
The disclosures suggest that
President-elect Trumps decision
to take a call from the president of
Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen, was less a
ham-handed diplomatic gaffe and
more the result of a well-orches-
trated plan by Taiwan to use the
election of a new president to

Imperfect Solutions to
Rising Homelessness
This article is by William Neu-
man, Nikita Stewart and J. David
Goodman.
On Wednesday, Mayor Bill de
Blasio of New York took responsi-
bility for the citys worsening
homelessness problem, saying, I
own it. Less than two hours later,
his pledge took on tragic implica-
tions, when two young sisters
were burned to death in the South
Bronx by radiator steam in city-fi-
nanced housing for the homeless.
Although Mr. de Blasio charac-
terized the deaths on Thursday as
a freak accident, the tragedy un-
derscored the many challenges he
faces in addressing an issue
where even the potential solutions
can create further problems.
Rising rents are driving record
numbers of New Yorkers into
homelessness. The citys shelters
are bursting, but efforts to build
more have been met with neigh-
borhood resistance. Alternate
forms of shelter, such as tempo-
rarily housing families in so-called
cluster sites like the building
where the girls died are costly
and, officials say, can contribute to
other problems.
This year, Mr. de Blasio said he
planned to eliminate the use of
cluster-site apartments. The units
are notorious for being in build-
ings with often severe housing vi-
olations, are typically more ex-
pensive than some other types of
shelter, hamper the delivery of
needed services because of their
scattered locations, and, most im-
portant to city officials, take af-
fordable housing off the market,
exacerbating the very conditions
that feed the homelessness crisis.
But steering families to hotel
rooms instead another stopgap
solution costs even more, and
flouts another promise by the
mayor: to phase out the use of ho-
tel rooms as shelter for homeless
people.
The cost of housing in this
town continues to go up, wages
are not going up anywhere near
the same with it, more people are
becoming homeless, Mr. de Bla-
sio told reporters before an event

Coal Jobs Fade Away,
but Not the Pollution A FAST-FOOD EXECUTIVE
By CORAL DAVENPORT
WASHINGTON President-
elect Donald J. Trumps choice of a
fossil-fuel advocate and climate-
change denier to head the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency
comes at a moment when the
American energy market has al-
ready shifted away from the most
polluting fossil fuels, driven more
by investors and economics than
by federal regulations.
Those market forces could
make Mr. Trumps promise to cre-
ate at least half a million energy
by the Obama administration, to
mines and oil shale fields all but
impossible.
But if Mr. Trumps promised
jobs are unlikely to materialize,
the impact on the planet from his
policies would be significant.
Without additional government
policies, energy and environmen-
tal experts say, the shift from coal,
oil and natural gas will not be rap-
id or substantial enough to stave
off the worst impacts of a warm-
ing atmosphere, including rising
sea levels, more powerful storms,
more devastating droughts and
food and water shortages.
The good news is that on its
own, the U.S. economy has be-
come less carbon intensive, and
that trend will continue overall,
said Robert N. Stavins, the direc-
tor of the environmental econom-
ics program at Harvard Univer-
sity. The bad news, he said, is that
markets alone will not lower emis-
sions enough to offset the worst
impacts of global warming.
President Obamas Clean
Power Plan was already criticized
for not doing enough. Even if the
plan was implemented, it would
not reach the targets set under
last years Paris climate change
accord, which committed nearly
every country to take action to
curb global warming. The targets
will be unachievable, Mr.
Stavins said.

Russian Hackers Acted
To Aid Trump, U.S. Says
Agencies Say Both Parties Were Targets
G.O.P. Data Was Never Released
By DAVID E. SANGER and SCOTT SHANE
WASHINGTON American
intelligence agencies have con-
cluded with high confidence
that Russia acted covertly in the
latter stages of the presidential
campaign to harm Hillary Clin-
tons chances and promote Donald
J. Trump, according to senior ad-
ministration officials.
They based that conclusion, in
part, on another finding which
they say was also reached with
high confidence that the Rus-
sians hacked the Republican Na-
tional Committees computer sys-
tems in addition to their attacks on
Democratic organizations, but did
not release whatever information
they gleaned from the Republican
networks.
In the months before the elec-
tion, it was largely documents
from Democratic Party systems
that were leaked to the public. In-
telligence agencies have con-
cluded that the Russians gave the
Democrats documents to
WikiLeaks.
Republicans have a different
explanation for why no docu-
ments from their networks were
ever released. Over the past sev-
eral months, officials from the Re-
publican committee have consis-
tently said that their networks
were not compromised, asserting

President-Elect at Odds

WASHINGTON An extraor-

mocking American intelligence

The Superrich Even Richer
Examining Private Equitys Accumulation of Wealth
By MICHAEL CORKERY
and BEN PROTESS
As fans gathered on Rockefeller Plaza
in Manhattan, Al Roker pulled up in a big
red delivery truck, ready to give America
what it wanted: Twinkies.
The snack cakes flew through the air
into the crowd pressed against metal bar-
riers. One man shoved cream-filled treats
into his mouth. Another Today host
tucked Twinkies into the neckline of her
dress.
Across the nation in the summer of 2013,
there was a feeding frenzy for Twinkies.
The iconic snack cake returned to shelves
just months after Hostess had shuttered
its bakeries and laid off thousands of
workers. The return was billed on To-
day as the sweetest comeback in the
history of ever.
Nowhere was it sweeter, perhaps, than
at the investment firms Apollo Global
Management and Metropoulos & Com-
pany, which spent $186 million in cash to

ies and brands in early 2013.
Less than four years later, they sold the
company in a deal that valued Hostess at
$2.3 billion. Apollo and Metropoulos have
now reaped a return totaling 13 times their
original cash investment.
Behind the financial maneuvering at
Hostess, an investigation by The New
York Times found a blueprint for how pri-
vate equity executives like those at Apollo
have amassed some of the greatest for-
tunes of the modern era.
Deals like Hostesss have helped make
the men running the six largest publicly
traded private equity firms collectively
the highest-earning executives of any ma-
jor American industry, according to a joint

Relations with Russia have
grown only more troubled since
American intelligence agencies
formally determined shortly after
the November election that Rus-
sia had taken steps intended to
help Mr. Trump win.
Mr. Tillerson, with no back-
ground in diplomacy outside the
energy arena, would inherit those
problems. He would also face the
question of whether to maintain
sanctions on Russia penalties
he has criticized for slowing Exx-
ons investments in that country.
His connections to Russia are
sure to come under scrutiny dur-

that Mr. Tillersons ties to Mr.

Wary of being seen as politiciz-

had been reluctant to come to that
conclusion in the midst of the elec-

Hillary Clinton believed it was ob-
vious, given the leak of emails
from her campaign chairman and
others.
One intelligence official said
there were indications in early Oc-
tober that the Russians had
shifted their focus to harm Mrs.
Clinton. The C.I.A.s slowness in
shifting its assessment, another
official said, was one reason Presi-
dent Obama ordered a full review
of lessons learned on the opera-

But the disclosure of the still-
classified findings prompted a
blistering attack against the intel-

So in November, as the coun-

C.I.A. Judgment on Russia

Built on Swell of Evidence
Trump Rejects the Spy Agencys Analysis,
Among the Most Significant in Years
By MARK MAZZETTI and ERIC LICHTBLAU
WASHINGTON American
spy and law enforcement agen-
cies were united in the belief, in
the weeks before the presidential
election, that the Russian govern-
ment had deployed computer
hackers to sow chaos during the
campaign. But they had conflict-
ing views about the specific goals
of the subterfuge.
Last week, Central Intelligence
Agency officials presented law-
makers with a stunning new judg-
ment that upended the debate:
Russia, they said, had intervened
with the primary aim of helping
make Donald J. Trump president.
The C.I.A.s conclusion does not
appear to be the product of spe-
cific new intelligence obtained

can officials, including some who

said on Sunday. Rather, it was an

Though few people have heard of diver-
sion, the practice is increasingly being
embraced as a way for the criminal justice
system to save people from itself.
Diversion is intended to relieve over-
burdened courts and crowded jails, and to
spare low-risk offenders from the devas-
tating consequences of a criminal record.
It mostly applies to nonviolent cases that
make up the vast majority of crimes of-
fenses like shoplifting, drug possession
and theft. There are now diversion pro-
grams in almost every state.
But an examination by The New York
Times found that in many places, only
people with money could afford a second
chance. Though diversion was introduced
as a money-saving reform, some jurisdic-
tions quickly turned it into a source of rev-

Boeing Seeks to Sell Airplanes
To Iran, and the Deal to Trump
By CHRISTOPHER DREW
Boeing announced a $16.6 bil-
lion deal on Sunday to sell planes
to Iran, which for decades had
been economically blacklisted by
the United States. The company
instead chose to emphasize how
many jobs the sale would support.
Todays agreement will sup-
port tens of thousands of U.S.
jobs associated with the produc-
tion and delivery of the planes,
Boeing said in its news release.
The intended recipient of Boe-
ings message clearly seemed to
be President-elect Donald J.
Trump.
Its carefully worded statement
is emblematic of the tightrope that
Americas biggest exporters are
walking amid his threats to shake
up trade policy and undo the
Obama administrations nuclear
accord with Iran. That agreement
lifted the American sanctions on
Iran, making Boeings jet deal
possible.
Mr. Trump has talked about im-
posing tariffs on imports from
China and on American compa-
nies that move jobs to Mexico and
other countries. But he has not
said much about how some of
Americas major manufacturing
companies, like Boeing and Gen-
eral Electric, and their workers
could be hurt if other countries re-
taliated for the tariffs or if existing
trade agreements were ripped up.

mayed by Mr. Trumps attack last

Aleppo Is Close Is Harsh Judge AS LEADERS BACK

RUSSIA INQUIRIES
Pleas for Help From Flynns Sway Is Seen in
Trapped Civilians Derision of Leaders DIFFERING WITH TRUMP

By ANNE BARNARD By MATTHEW ROSENBERG

BEIRUT, Lebanon The siege
in Aleppo is almost over.
Advances by Syrian govern-
ment forces and their allies have
squeezed the fighters and civil-
ians remaining in rebel-held parts
of the city into a sliver of territory,
spokesmen for the government
and the opposition forces said on
Monday. The last civilians caught
in the shrinking antigovernment
enclave issued panicked calls for
help.
Late Monday, several residents
reported via text and voice mes-
sages that they were crowded into
abandoned apartments and rainy
streets, exposed to shelling and
afraid they would be killed or ar-
rested if pro-government forces
reached them, as antigovernment
activists circulated reports of
scores of summary killings in re-
taken areas.
The United Nations secretary
general, Ban Ki-moon, said in a
statement on Monday that he was
alarmed by reports of atrocities
against a large number of civil-
ians, including women and chil-
dren.
It appeared increasingly likely
that the government would gain
control of the whole of Aleppo, the
largest city in Syria, within days, if
not hours. Videos from govern-
ment-held districts showed peo-
ple celebrating in the streets, wav-
ing flags and honking horns.
That would be a turning point in
the civil war, cementing govern-
ment control over all of Syrias
most important cities and forcing
the opposition and its backers to

Tiniest Victims
Of Opioids Tax
Rural Hospitals
By CATHERINE SAINT LOUIS
As the opioid epidemic sweeps
through rural America, an ever-
greater number of drug-depend-
ent newborns are straining hospi-
tal neonatal units and draining
precious medical resources.
The problem has grown more
quickly than realized and shows
no signs of abating, researchers
reported on Monday. Their study,
published in JAMA Pediatrics,
concludes for the first time that
the increase in drug-dependent
newborns has been dispropor-
tionately larger in rural areas.
The rising rates are due largely
to widening use of opioids among
pregnant women, the researchers
found.
From 2004 to 2013, the propor-
tion of newborns born dependent
on drugs increased nearly sev-
enfold in hospitals in rural coun-
ties, to 7.5 per 1,000 from 1.2 per
1,000. By contrast, the uptick
among urban infants was nearly
fourfold, to 4.8 per 1,000 from 1.4
per 1,000.
The problem is accelerating in
rural areas to a greater degree
than in urban areas, said Dr.
Veeral Tolia, a neonatologist who
works at Baylor University Medi-
cal Center in Dallas and was not
involved in the new report.
Other recent studies have un-

An Alabama Prosecutor Sets the Penalties and Fills the Coffers
By SHAILA DEWAN
and ANDREW W. LEHREN
DOTHAN, Ala. It was a run-
of-the-mill keg party in an open
field, until one guest, Harvey
Drayton Burch III, objected to
paying for his beer. Witnesses said
Mr. Burch fired a gun over the
crowd and began spraying Mace.
With partyers fleeing, Mr. Burch
jumped into the back seat of a car
as it drove away.
The driver had a name well
known in Henry County: Douglas
NO MONEY, NO MERCY
Justice in the Wiregrass
A. Valeska II, the son of the local
district attorney. When the car
was stopped, a deputy found a
loaded magazine and knife in Mr.
Burchs pocket, a gun and pepper
spray in a backpack, and a pink
pill on the floorboard. After Mr.
Burch admitted to firing his weap-
on, he was arrested. The district
attorney arrived to take his son
and two other passengers home.
Mr. Burch, then 28, was charged
with gun and drug possession, but
not with firing a weapon or spray-
ing Mace. He did not face prosecu-
tion. Instead, District Attorney
Douglas A. Valeska granted him
pretrial diversion, an alternative
to court that is usually reserved
for nonviolent offenses. After Mr.
Burch paid $2,396 in fees and
stayed out of trouble for two years,
the case was dismissed in 2011.
The same year, Mr. Valeska
gave the Henry County Sheriffs
Office $2,300 from his pretrial di-
version fund to pay for scuba gear.
The departments dive team was
led by Lt. Troy Silva, the arresting
officer in the Burch case. Lieuten-
ant Silva said in an interview that
the money was not related to the
case and that Mr. Valeska rou-
tinely allocated diversion funds
for police equipment.
For Jarvis Bracy (with his wife, Khadijah Ross), pretrial diversion was priced out of reach.
Diversion was created nation-
wide to spare first-time or low-
risk defendants the harsh conse-
quences of a criminal record and
to give prosecutors more time to
go after dangerous offenders. But
things have played out differently
in places like southeast Alabamas
Wiregrass Country, where an in-
vestigation by The New York
Times found that diversion resem-
bles a dismissal-for-sale scheme,
available only to those with
money and, in some cases, favor.
Mr. Valeska has proved exceed-
ingly adept at using diversion,
generating more than $1 million
for his office in the last five years.
The money has helped him con-
solidate his singular power over
the justice system in Houston and
Henry Counties, where he has
presided as the chief prosecutor
for three decades.

WASHINGTON Long before
Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn became
Donald J. Trumps choice for na-
tional security adviser, he be-
lieved that the Central Intelli-
gence Agency had become a poli-
tical tool of the Obama adminis-
tration a view now echoed by
the president-elect in his mocking
dismissals of C.I.A. assessments
that Russia sought to tip the elec-
tion in Mr. Trumps favor.
Theyve lost sight of who they
actually work for, Mr. Flynn said
in an interview with The New
York Times in October 2015. They
work for the American people.
They dont work for the president
of the United States. He added,
speaking of the agencys leader-
ship: Frankly, its become a very
political organization.
Mr. Flynns assessment that the
C.I.A. is a political arm of the
Obama administration is not
widely shared by Republicans or
Democrats in Washington. But it
has appeared to have been inter-
nalized by the one person who
matters most right now: Mr.
Trump.

in Dothan were black.
In the 1990s, Mr. Valeska had a
string of convictions overturned
for illegally striking blacks from
the jury pool a practice critics
say continues to this day. He re-
ferred to one black defendant as
the yard boy. He has never hired
a black prosecutor.

Election Breaches

WASHINGTON The top two
Republicans in Congress said on
Monday that they supported in-

Chief of Exxon

WASHINGTON President-

Monday on Rex W. Tillerson, the
chief executive of Exxon Mobil, to
be his secretary of state, transi-

the president-elect is dismissing
bipartisan concerns that Mr.

the selection on Tuesday morning,

Yahoo Reveals RUSSIANS HACKED
Largest Breach DEMOCRATS VYING
Ever Reported
Attack in 2013 Affects
One Billion Accounts NOT JUST CLINTON TEAM
By VINDU GOEL
and NICOLE PERLROTH
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo, al-
ready reeling from its September
disclosure that 500 million user
accounts had been hacked in 2014,
disclosed Wednesday that a dif-
ferent attack in 2013 compromised
more than a billion accounts.
The two attacks are the largest
known security breaches of one
companys computer network.
The newly disclosed 2013 attack
involved sensitive user informa-
tion, including names, telephone
numbers, dates of birth, en-
crypted passwords and unen-
crypted security questions that
could be used to reset a password.
Yahoo said it is forcing all of the af-
fected users to change their pass-
words and it is invalidating unen-
crypted security questions
steps that it declined to take in
September.
It is unclear how many Yahoo
users were affected by both at-
tacks. The internet company has
more than a billion active users,
but it is not clear how many inac-
tive accounts were hacked.
Yahoo said it discovered the
larger hacking after analyzing
data files, provided by law en-
forcement, that an unnamed third
party had claimed contained Ya-
hoo information.
Security has taken a back seat
at Yahoo in recent years, com-
pared to Silicon Valley competi-
tors like Google and Facebook. Ya-
hoos security team clashed with
top executives, including the chief
executive, Marissa Mayer, over
the cost and customer inconven-
ience of proposed security meas-

Nearly a Dozen Races in
Crucial States Were
Targets of Attack
By ERIC LIPTON
and SCOTT SHANE
WASHINGTON South Flor-
ida has long been a laboratory for
some of the nations roughest poli-
tics, with techniques like phantom
candidates created by political ri-
vals to siphon off votes from their
opponents, or so-called boleteras
hired to illegally fill out stacks of
absentee ballots on behalf of eld-
erly or disabled voters.
But there was never anything
quite like the 2016 election cam-
paign, when a handful of Demo-
cratic House candidates became
targets of a Russian influence op-
eration that made thousands of
pages of documents stolen by
hackers from the Democratic Con-
gressional Campaign Committee
in Washington available to Florida
reporters and bloggers.
It was like I was standing out
there naked, said Annette Tad-
deo, a Democrat who lost her pri-
mary race after secret campaign
documents were made public. I
just cant describe it any other
way. Our entire internal strategy
plan was made public, and sud-
denly all this material was out
there and could be used against
me.
The impact of the information
released by the hackers on candi-
dates like Ms. Taddeo in Florida
and others in nearly a dozen
House races around the country
was largely lost in the focus on the
hacking attacks against the Dem-
ocratic National Committee and
Hillary Clintons presidential
campaign. But this untold story
underscores the effect the Rus-

BEIJING China signaled on
Thursday that it had installed
weapons on disputed South China
Sea islands and would use them
like a slingshot to repel threats,
compounding tensions with the
incoming Trump administration.
The Chinese message, in a De-
fense Ministry statement, sug-
gested that China was further wa-
tering down a pledge made by its
president, Xi Jinping, to not mili-
tarize the islands.
The comments left little doubt
that such installations were part
of Chinas plan to deepen its terri-
torial claim over the islands,
which has raised tensions with its
neighbors over their rival claims
and with Washington over free-
dom of navigation in the South
China Sea, one of the worlds busi-
est commercial waterways.
They were also likely to further
complicate Chinas already testy
relations with President-elect
Donald J. Trump. Chinas rapid
creation of artificial islands in the
South China Sea, expanding for-
mer reefs and outcrops into
guarded permanent outposts, has
already become a major source of
tension with Washington.
Repeatedly this year, the Chi-
nese have accused the United
States of making provocative
moves by sending warships near

HURDLES FOR U.S.
IN BID TO THWART
RUSSIAN HACKERS
INQUIRIES ARE COMPLEX
Few Options to Deter or
Detain Those Who
Strike Networks
By ADAM GOLDMAN
and MATT APUZZO
WASHINGTON When a sus-
pected Russian cybercriminal
named Dmitry Ukrainsky was ar-
rested in a Thai resort town last
summer, the American authori-
ties hoped they could whisk him
back to New York for trial and put
at least a temporary dent in Rus-
sias arsenal of computer hackers.
But the Russian authorities
moved quickly to persuade Thai-
land not to extradite him, saying
home. American officials knew
what that meant. If Mr. Ukrainsky
got on a plane to Moscow, they
concluded, he would soon be back
at work in front of a computer.
The American authorities con-
tinue the unacceptable practice of
hunting for Russians all over the
world, ignoring the norms of inter-
national laws and twisting other
states arms, the Russian Foreign
Ministry said.
The dispute over Mr. Ukrain-
sky, whose case remains in limbo,
highlights the difficulties and at
times impossibilities that the
United States faces in combating
Russian hackers, including those
behind the recent attacks on the
Democratic National Committee.
That hack influenced the course, if
not the outcome, of a presidential
campaign and was the culmina-
tion of years of increasingly
brazen digital assaults on Ameri-
can infrastructure.
The United States has few op-
tions for responding to such
hacks. Russia does not extradite
its citizens and has shown that it
will not easily be deterred through
public shaming. At times, the
American authorities have en-
listed local police officials to arrest
suspects when they leave Russia
for vacation in the Maldives, for
example. But more often than not,
the F.B.I. and Justice Department
investigate and compile accusa-
tions and evidence against people
who will almost certainly never
stand trial.
You can indict 400 people.

Assads Lesson OBAMA DEFENDS

From Aleppo:
Force Works
Crushing Syrian City as
the World Watches
By BEN HUBBARD
BEIRUT, Lebanon For
months, the bodies have been pil-
ing up in eastern Aleppo as the
buildings have come down, pul-
verized by Syrian and Russian
jets, burying residents who could
not flee in avalanches of bricks
and mortar.
And now it is almost over, not
because diplomats reached a deal
in Geneva, but because President
Bashar al-Assad of Syria and his
foreign allies have won the city.
Cold, hungry and scarred by the
deaths of loved ones, tens of thou-
sands of civilians and fighters are
awaiting buses to take them from
their homes to uncertain futures.
It is not the first victory that Mr.
Assad has secured with over-
whelming force in the Syrian con-
flict. But his subjugation of eas-
tern Aleppo has echoed across the
Middle East and beyond, rattling
alliances, proving the effective-
ness of violence and highlighting
the reluctance of many countries,
perhaps most notably the United
States, to get involved.
President Obama, on Friday at
his final news conference of the
year, acknowledged that the
nearly six-year-old war in Syria
had been among the hardest is-
sues he has faced, and that the
world was united in horror at
the butchery in Aleppo. But Mr.
Obama who came into office

the ribbon of asphalt that cuts through this
remote village.
The women carrying their onions to
market atop their heads step aside when a
car approaches. The occasional stray cow
ambles down the center, chased by local
herders. The men with logs balance jerkily,
while an entire family wobbles precari-
ously by on one bicycle.
And children so many children dart
across the pavement, keeping an eye on
the cattle while kicking soccer balls back
and forth.
So the villagers gathered to watch when
an armored convoy of American officials,
led by Samantha Power, the United States
ambassador to the United Nations, came
bulleting down the road that links cities in
Cameroons Far North. They pointed at the
gleaming white sport utility vehicles and

Six-year-old Toussaint Birwe was one of
the curious. Sturdy and serious with deep-
set eyes, he was always scrambling across
the road, between his grandparents house
and the market where he would sweet-talk
his idol, 18-year-old Aboubakar Oumarou,
into buying him candy. Abou was at school,
so Toussaint was alone as he skipped

MUTED RESPONSE
TO RUSSIAN HACKS
WANTS TO SEND MESSAGE
Says He Feared Inciting
Meddling That Could
Hurt Vote Count
By MARK LANDLER
and DAVID E. SANGER
WASHINGTON President
Obama said for the first time on
Friday that he had held back from
retaliating against Russias med-
dling in the presidential race for
fear of inciting further hacking
that could hamper vote count-
ing. But he said he was weighing
a mix of public and covert actions
against the Russians in his last 34
days in office, actions that would
increase the costs for them.
Mr. Obama said he was commit-
ted to sending the Kremlin a mes-
sage that we can do stuff to you,
but without setting off an escalat-
ing cyberconflict.
There have been folks out
there who suggest somehow if we
went out there and made big an-
nouncements and thumped our
chests about a bunch of stuff, that
somehow it would potentially
spook the Russians, he said. I
think it doesnt read the thought
process in Russia very well.
The president did not reveal
what steps he was considering
and suggested that some of the
options, if they were carried out,
could remain secret. Some of it
we will do in a way that they will
know, but not everybody will, he
said.

U.S. Demands Trumps Pick as Envoy to Israel

Return of Drone
Seized by China
By HELENE COOPER
WASHINGTON The Penta-
gon on Friday demanded the re-
turn of an underwater drone that
was seized by China as an Ameri-
can crew was moving in to re-
trieve it. The episode threatens to
increase tensions in a region al-
ready fraught with great-power
rivalries.
A Chinese warship had been
shadowing the Bowditch, a United
States naval vessel, in the interna-
tional waters of the South China
Sea when the Chinese launched a
small boat and snatched the un-
manned underwater vehicle, the
Pentagon said.
Ignoring radio demands from
the Americans to return the
drone, the Chinese ship sailed off.
The episode set off one of the
tensest standoffs between Beijing
and Washington in 15 years and
occurred a day after the Chinese
signaled that they had installed
weapons along a string of dis-
puted islands in the South China
Sea.
The seizure of the drone
brought a formal protest from the
United States at a time when
China is extending claims over the

A white-tailed deer at Jackie Robinson Park in Harlem, where it had appeared this month.

A white-tailed deer that went
from being a minor celebrity in
Harlem to a cause clbre after its
capture, died in captivity on Fri-
day, moments before it was to be
driven upstate and released.

death, according to a New York

How Putin Fan
Peddled Trump
From Overseas
Patriot Site Promoted
Hoaxes to Americans
By MIKE McINTIRE
The Patriot News Agency web-
site popped up in July, soon after it
became clear that Donald J.
Trump would win the Republican
presidential nomination, bearing
a logo of a red, white and blue ea-
gle and the motto Built by patri-
ots, for patriots.
Tucked away on a corner of the
site, next to links for Twitter and
YouTube, is a link to another social
media platform that most Ameri-
cans have never heard of: VKon-
takte, the Russian equivalent of
Facebook. It is a clue that Patriot
News, like many sites that ap-
peared out of nowhere and
pumped out pro-Trump hoaxes ty-
ing his opponent Hillary Clinton to
Satanism, pedophilia and other
conspiracies, is actually run by
foreigners based overseas.
But while most of those others
seem be the work of young, apolit-
ical opportunists cashing in on a
conservative appetite for viral
nonsense, operators of Patriot
News had an explicitly partisan
motivation: getting Mr. Trump
elected.

CARNAGE, HUNGER

A War of Attrition to Free

This article is by Tim Arango, Eric

ISTANBUL After two
months, the battle to retake the
Iraqi city of Mosul from the Is-
lamic State has settled into a
grinding war of attrition. The front
lines have barely budged in
weeks. Casualties of Iraqi security
forces are so high that some
American commanders heading
the United States-led air cam-
paign worry that they are unsus-
tainable. Civilians are being killed
or injured by Islamic State snipers
and growing numbers of suicide

Dont Forget Aleppo,
Assassin Shouts SITE A REVERED SYMBOL

ISTANBUL Russias ambas-
sador to Turkey was assassinated
at an Ankara art exhibit on Mon-
day evening by a lone Turkish
gunman shouting God is great!
and dont forget Aleppo, dont for-
get Syria! in what the leaders of
Turkey and Russia called a pro-
vocative terrorist attack.
The gunman, described by
Turkish officials as a 22-year-old
off-duty police officer, also
wounded at least three others in
the assault on the envoy, Andrey
G. Karlov, which was captured on
video. Turkish officials said the as-
sailant was killed by other officers
in a shootout.
The assassination, an embar-
rassing security failure in the
Turkish capital, forced Turkey and
Russia to confront a new crisis
tied directly to the Syrian conflict,
now in its sixth year.
The longer-term implications
for the Russia-Turkey relation-
ship, which had been warming re-
cently after plunging a year ago,
were not immediately clear. But
some analysts played down the
notion that the assassination
would lead to a new rupture, say-
ing it could conversely bring the
countries closer together in a
shared fight against terrorism.
President Vladimir V. Putin of
Russia said on Russian television
that Mr. Karlov had been despi-

Carnage Evokes Attack

By MELISSA EDDY

BERLIN A truck plowed
through a Christmas market late
Monday in Berlin, turning a tradi-
tional center of holiday festivities
into a scene of carnage with at
least 12 dead and dozens wounded
in what the authorities were in-
vestigating as a possible terror at-
tack.
The truck jumped the sidewalk
about 8 p.m. near the Kaiser Wil-
helm Memorial Church, whose
jagged spire, a reminder of the
bombings during World War II, is
one of the most symbolic sites in
Berlin.
The police said they later ar-
rested a man near the scene who
was suspected of driving the
truck, which had been stolen from
a worksite in Poland about a two-
hour drive from Berlin. A pas-
senger, identified by the authori-
ties as a Polish national, was
found dead in the cab.
There was no claim of responsi-

evoked the attack in July in Nice,

Obama Leans MARKET RAMPAGE

On a 1953 Law
To Ban Drilling
Bids to Save a Legacy
on the Environment
By CORAL DAVENPORT
President Obama announced
on Tuesday what he called a per-
manent ban on offshore oil and
gas drilling along wide areas of
the Arctic and the Atlantic
Seaboard as he tried to nail down
an environmental legacy that can-
not quickly be reversed by Donald
J. Trump.
Mr. Obama invoked an obscure
provision of a 1953 law, the Outer
Continental Shelf Lands Act,
which he said gives him the au-
thority to act unilaterally. While
some presidents have used that
law to temporarily protect smaller
portions of federal waters, Mr.
Obamas declaration of a perma-
nent drilling ban on portions of the
ocean floor from Virginia to Maine
and along much of Alaskas coast
is breaking new ground. The dec-
larations fate will almost cer-
tainly be decided by the federal
courts.
Its never been done before,
said Patrick Parenteau, a profes-
sor of environmental law at Ver-
mont Law School. There is no
case law on this. Its uncharted
waters.
The move considered cre-
ative by supporters and abusive
by opponents is one of many ef-
forts by Mr. Obama to protect
what environmental policies he
can from a successor who has
vowed to roll them back. The pres-
ident, in concert with United Na-
tions leaders, rushed countries to
ratify the Paris Agreement on cli-
mate change, putting the multi-
national accord into force in
record time, before Mr. Trumps
inauguration.

Two summers ago, Pete Am-

Houlton behind them to start a

life, however, took an unfath-

both girls together in the pink in-

tant to Exxons future, lay in es-
tablishing personal relationships
with Mr. Putin and his friend and
confidant, Igor Sechin, the power-
ful head of Rosneft, the state oil
company.
And as Mr. Tillerson and other
oil executives pivoted from the
private sector to the state oil com-
pany, the criticism that they had
directed toward the Kremlin dried
up. The payoff for Exxon was im-
mense: a $500 billion joint ven-
ture in 2011 to drill for oil on the
Arctic shelf and the Black Sea and
another huge deal to develop
shale oil deposits in Siberia. Those
projects were shelved in 2014, af-
ter the West imposed sanctions on
Russia for Mr. Putins actions in
Crimea and Ukraine.
This was a man who was
deeply skeptical of Russia, and a
person who gave every appear-

A Weed Killer Made in Britain, for Export Only
By DANNY HAKIM
HUDDERSFIELD, England
The factory here, set amid a brick
campus in a green and hilly indus-
trial town, recently celebrated its
centennial.
It produces paraquat, one of the
worlds most enduring weed
killers but not one that can be
purchased in this part of northern
England, in the rest of Britain or to a less immediately apparent ef-
across the Channel in the rest of
the European Union.
So it will be sent to the United
States, or another part of the globe
that still allows paraquat to be
sprayed on weeds.

President Obamas declaration

Assad had lost legitimacy and had

Mr. Obamas reluctance to back

Washington with little leverage on

MERKEL CRITICS POUNCE
Initial Suspect Released
as ISIS Claims Role
in Truck Attack
By MELISSA EDDY
and ALISON SMALE
BERLIN For a Germany that
likes to see itself as meticulous,
the slip-up was startling: Hours
after the authorities said they had
grabbed a suspect in the deadly
truck rampage at a Christmas
market in Berlin, they acknowl-
edged they may have detained the
wrong man and began a desperate
search for the actual driver.
The decision on Tuesday to re-
lease the suspect and the Islamic
States claim of responsibility for
the bloody attack inflicted a dam-
aging blow to Chancellor Angela
Merkels government.
On a chaotic day of grief and un-
certainty, after 12 people were
killed and dozens injured on Mon-
day, leaders of the countrys rising
far-right Alternative for Germany
party assailed the chancellor in
blunt, visceral terms, describing
the victims as Merkels dead.
The attack, which saw a driver
steer a speeding tractor-trailer
through crowds of shoppers at a
popular Christmas market in cen-
tral Berlin, is already reshaping
what promises to be a tumultuous
European political year in 2017.
Ms. Merkel is the most powerful
defender of the reeling European
Union, yet such a bloody terror at-
tack on German soil is certain to
complicate her campaign for a
fourth term in office. The prospect
that she could be weakened, or
voted out, would be potentially
devastating for the bloc.
The German fight against ter-
rorism, which has proved to be un-
even, is not helping her. It was
only two months ago when the au-
thorities in the state of Saxony
failed to catch a dangerous sus-
pect who was preparing bombs in
his apartment and arrested him
only after three plucky Syrians
caught the man, who then com-
mitted suicide in custody.
Beyond politics, the assault
made plain that Germany, like
France and Belgium, is now a pri-
mary European target for mass
terror attacks. On Tuesday
evening, the Islamic State issued a
statement through its Amaq news
agency describing the driver of
the truck as a soldier. But the
group offered no other details

Parkinsons disease. The agency
is weighing whether to continue
allowing the chemical to be
sprayed on American cropland,
although a decision is not ex-
pected until 2018, and it is unclear
how the incoming Trump adminis-
tration will view the matter.
In the meantime, many of the
nations that ban paraquat and
other chemicals whose use is con-
tentious still allow them to be
manufactured as long as they are
exported to faraway fields. The
Huddersfield plant is owned by
Syngenta, the pesticide giant
based in Switzerland, which has

Sign-Ups Jump SUSPECT HUNTED

As Health Law
Faces a Repeal
6.4 Million Register for
Plan, Outpacing 16
By ROBERT PEAR
WASHINGTON About 6.4
million people have signed up for
health insurance next year under
the Affordable Care Act, the
Obama administration said
Wednesday, as people rushed to
purchase plans regardless of Re-
publican promises that the law
will be repealed within months.
The new sign-ups an increase
of 400,000 over a similar point last
year mean the health care cov-
erage of millions of consumers
could be imperiled by one of the
first legislative actions of Donald
J. Trumps presidency. Hundreds
of thousands of other people who
took no action will be automati-
cally re-enrolled by the federal
government in the same or simi-
lar plans, officials said, and their
coverage could be threatened as
well. Consumers still have until
the end of January to enroll.
Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the
secretary of health and human
services, said the number of sign-
ups was remarkable in view of
headwinds created by premium
increases for 2017 and by the un-
certainty of the entire health law
after Mr. Trump takes office on
Jan. 20.
Americans remain divided over
President Obamas most signifi-
cant legislative achievement,
even as 20 million people have
gained coverage under the law
and the percentage of those with-
out insurance has dropped to
record lows. Mr. Trump and Re-
publican leaders of the House and
the Senate have vowed to repeal
the 2010 law as one of the first leg-
islative actions of the Trump era.
To lay the political groundwork,
Republicans have portrayed the
law as collapsing under its own
weight, unable to hold down
health costs or provide the insur-

Citing Quagmire, Trump Son Trump Suggests Berlin Rampage
Will Stop Soliciting for Charity Affirms His Plan to Bar Muslims
By ERIC LIPTON and MAGGIE HABERMAN
WASHINGTON Eric Trump
said on Wednesday that he had de-
cided to stop directly soliciting
contributions for his charitable
foundation, which supports
causes like the fight against child-
hood cancer, because he now rec-
ognizes that his status as the pres-
ident-elects son means that do-
nors could try to use him to gain
access to his father.
As unfortunate as it is, I under-
stand the quagmire, Mr. Trump
said in an interview Wednesday
evening. You do a good thing that
backfires.
His move followed public criti-
cism of an online auction that the
Eric Trump Foundation had spon-
sored offering a chance to have
coffee with his sister Ivanka. The
criticism intensified over the
weekend after an invitation was
drafted offering a hunting trip
with Eric Trump or his brother
Donald Jr. in exchange for dona-
tions of $500,000 or $1 million to a
new charity that friends of Eric
Trump had created this month
with his apparent consent, accord-
ing to legal documents.

WASHINGTON President-
elect Donald J. Trump seemed to
suggest on Wednesday that the
deadly truck attack on a Christ-
mas market in Berlin vindicated
his proposal during the presiden-
tial campaign to bar Muslims
from entering the United States.
You know my plans, Mr.
Trump said to reporters who
asked whether the attack on Mon-
day, in which a Tunisian is being
sought, would cause him to re-
evaluate his proposals to create a
Muslim registry or to stop Mus-
lim immigration to the United
States. All along, Ive been prov-

It was not clear whether Mr.
Trump was reaffirming his much-
criticized call for a wholesale ban
on Muslim immigration or his sub-
sequent clarification that he
would stop only those entering
from countries with a history of Is-
lamic extremism. As with many of
his pronouncements since his
election last month, the remarks,

BERLIN Searching the cab
of the tractor-trailer that plowed
through a Christmas market in
Berlin, the authorities made two
startling discoveries: a badly
bruised body with stab and gun-
shot wounds, and the wallet of a
Tunisian labeled a security threat
who was supposed to have been
deported months ago.
The identity of the Tunisian,
Anis Amri, immediately alarmed
intelligence officials from Europe
to Washington. German officials
acknowledged that Mr. Amri was
known to have links to a radical
Salafist preacher and had been in
their custody pending deportation
proceedings after being caught
with fake papers. He was freed,
even though he
was considered
potentially dan-
gerous by the
authorities.
He also ap-
peared on the
radar of United

cies, according
to American of-
ficials. He had Anis Amri
done online re-
search on how to make explosive
devices and had communicated
with the Islamic State at least
once, via Telegram Messenger,
said the officials, who spoke on the
condition of anonymity because of
the investigation. He was also on a

Experimental Ebola Vaccine
Is Said to Be 100% Effective
By DONALD G. McNEIL Jr.
In a scientific triumph that will
change the way the world fights a
terrifying killer, an experimental
Ebola vaccine tested on humans
in the waning days of the West Af-
rican epidemic has been shown to
provide 100 percent protection
against the lethal disease.
The vaccine has not yet been
approved by any regulatory au-
thority, but it is considered so ef-
fective that an emergency stock-
pile of 300,000 doses has already
been created for use should an
outbreak flare up again.
Since Ebola was discovered in
the former Zaire in 1976, there
have been many efforts to create a
vaccine. All began with a sense of
urgency but then petered out for
lack of money. Although only

NUCLEAR ABILITY
Potential for Change in
U.S. Policy Follows
Putin Speech
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
and JAMES GLANZ
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
President-elect Donald J. Trump
said on Thursday that the United
States should greatly expand its
nuclear capability, appearing to
suggest an end to decades of ef-
forts by presidents of both parties
to reduce the role of nuclear weap-
ons in American defenses and
strategy.
Mr. Trumps statement, in a
midafternoon Twitter post, may
have been a response to President
Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, who in
a speech to his militarys leader-
ship in Moscow earlier on Thurs-
day vowed to strengthen Russias
nuclear missiles.
Mr. Putin said nuclear forces
needed to be bolstered so they
could reliably penetrate any ex-
isting and prospective missile de-
fense systems, apparently a ref-
erence to the Pentagons efforts to
develop systems capable of shoot-
ing down nuclear-armed rockets.
Shortly after Mr. Putins com-
ments were reported by the news
media, Mr. Trump said on Twitter
that the United States must
strengthen and expand its nu-
clear forces until such time as the
world comes to its senses regard-
ing nukes. He did not elaborate.
The vagueness of Mr. Trumps
posting made it difficult to assess
its possible impact on American
foreign policy, and illustrated the
potential danger in setting an
agenda, especially on such grave
matters, in Twitter bursts and off-
hand remarks.

hemorrhaging from every orifice
has lent the disease a frighten-

Ultimately, only the huge, ex-
plosive 2014 outbreak that took
11,000 lives in Africa and spread
overseas, killing a handful of peo-
ple in Europe and the United
States, provided the political and
economic drive to make an effec-
tive vaccine.
The test results of the trial in
Guinea were released Thursday
in The Lancet.
The vaccine was not ready in
time to stop the outbreak, which
probably began in a hollow, bat-
filled tree in Guinea and swept Li-
beria and Guinea before being de-
feated. But the prospect of a vac-
cine stockpile now has brought
optimism among public health ex-
perts.

Man Is Dead Gave

SESTO SAN GIOVANNI, Italy
It was a routine identity check,
the kind Italy has relied on to stem
the flow of illegal migration
deeper into Europe. But the man
stopped by two police officers
around 3 a.m. Friday outside the
northern city of Milan was any-
thing but an ordinary drifter.
He turned out to be perhaps Eu-
ropes most wanted man, Anis
Amri, the chief suspect in the
deadly terrorist attack on a
Christmas market in Berlin that
killed 12 people. Asked to show his
papers and empty his backpack,
he pulled out a gun, shot one offi-
cer, and in turn was shot and killed
by another.
Police bastards, Mr. Amri,
who turned 24 this week, shouted
in Italian before dying, according
to the account given by Antonio
De Iesu, director of the Milan po-
lice, at a news conference.
For Italy, the shooting death of
Mr. Amri, a Tunisian who had
pledged his allegiance to the Is-
lamic States supreme leader in a
video released by the group on
Friday, spurred a moment of na-
tional pride and some reassur-
ance that its security measures
were working.
For Germany, it brought a sense
of palpable relief after a week of
national anguish. Now I can wish

Rush for Deals
May Let Banks
Save Billions
By LANDON THOMAS Jr.
and JACK EWING
European banks have rushed to
cut deals with prosecutors over
longstanding claims that they
pushed toxic mortgage securities
in the years before the financial
crisis.
The payouts are steep:
Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse
said that they would disgorge
nearly $13 billion combined to set-
tle with the United States Justice
Department.
But with the clock ticking be-
fore President-elect Donald J.
Trump takes over, there appears
to be an eagerness in Washington
to conclude cases before a new,
potentially more sympathetic, ad-
ministration begins. As a result,
these banks may have benefited
from paying billions less than
once proposed.
The $7.2 billion settlement with
Deutsche Bank was a relief on Fri-
day to its investors, who were rat-
tled when it emerged in Septem-
ber that prosecutors were seeking
a penalty of as much as $14 billion.
Shares of Deutsche Bank rose as
much as 5 percent in Frankfurt,
before settling up 0.8 percent.
A smaller player in the mort-
gage-backed securities market,
the British bank Barclays, ap-
pears to be willing to take its
chances under the administration
of Mr. Trump.
Barclays said on Thursday that
it would vigorously defend itself
in court against a complaint

Charity and Deals Seen
as Potential Conflicts
By ERIC LIPTON

WASHINGTON Realizing
that his presidency could face po-
tentially crippling questions over
conflicts of interest, Donald J.
Trump and his family are rushing
to resolve potential controversies
like shuttering foundations and
terminating development deals
even as the president-elect pub-
licly maintains that no legal con-
flicts exist.
In recent days, the president-
elect and his aides have said that
he intends to distribute the assets
of his personal charity and then
shutter it, has examined a plan to
hire an outside monitor to oversee
the Trump Organization and has
terminated some international
business projects.
This is a process that my fa-

Stir Up Fringe
By ANDREW HIGGINS
BONY, Hungary To his
neighbors in a village in western
Hungary, 76-year-old Istvan Gy-
orkos was just an old man who
mostly kept to himself. Hardly
anyone looked askance at his pas-
sion for guns and for training
youths in paramilitary tactics.
In late October, however, Mr.
Gyorkos, a veteran neo-Nazi and
the leader of a tiny fringe outfit
called the Hungarian National
Front, suddenly took on a more
sinister visage when, according to
Hungarian police officers who
raided his home in search of illegal
weapons, he shot and killed a
member of the police team with an
assault rifle. Members of his fam-
ily say the dead policeman was
shot by a fellow officer.
The saga then took an even
stranger turn: Hungarian intelli-
gence officials told a parliamenta-
ry committee in Budapest that Mr.
Gyorkos had for years been under
scrutiny for his role in a network
of extremists linked to and en-
couraged by Russia. So close was
the relationship, the committee
heard, that Russian military intel-
ligence officers, masquerading as
diplomats, staged regular mock
combat exercises using plastic
guns with neo-Nazi activists near
Mr. Gyorkoss home.
That Russia, a nation intensely
proud of its huge role in the defeat
of Hitlers Germany in World War
II, would want anything to do with
marginal, anti-Semitic crackpots
who revere Hitlers wartime allies
in Hungary might, at first glance,
seem beyond comprehension.

Donations Seen
Influencing Aid
By Kidney Fund
By KATIE THOMAS
and REED ABELSON
The American Kidney Fund is
one of the largest charities in the
country, with an annual budget of
over $250 million. Its marquee
program helps pay insurance pre-
miums for thousands of people
who need dialysis, a lifesaving
and expensive treatment for kid-
ney failure.
The organization has earned ac-
colades for its efficient use of the
money.
Under an agreement with the
federal government, the Kidney
Fund must distribute the aid
based on a patients financial
need. But the charity has resisted
giving aid to patients at clinics

The royal familys fortune de-
rives from the reserves of petro-
leum discovered during the reign
of Salmans father, King Abdulaziz
ibn Saud, more than 75 years ago.
The sale of oil provides billions of
dollars in annual allowances, pub-

frolic on some of the worlds big-
gest yachts out of sight of com-

King Salman serves as chair-
man of the family business unoffi-
cially known as Al Saud Inc. Sus-
tained low oil prices have strained
the economy and forced questions
about whether the family with
thousands of members and still
growing can simultaneously
maintain its lavish lifestyle and its
unchallenged grip on the country.
The people have less money
than before, but the royal family
have the same, said Prince
Khalid bin Farhan al-Saud, a dissi-

ily living in Germany. There is a
lot of state money which is con-
cealed from the budget, which is
determined by the king alone.
These are anxious times for the
royals, led by an 80-year-old who
has already had at least one stroke
and is likely to be the last of six
sons of the founding monarch to
serve as sovereign. He must
wrangle a band of relatives, from
the merely well-off to billionaires,
who are accustomed from birth to
privilege and plenty.
In his two-year reign, King
Salman has upended the tradi-
tions of succession, creating rifts
after bypassing several brothers
to position the next generation

line for the throne. He has ousted
prominent members of other

Bristling Anger at U.S.
5,600 New Units
for Jerusalem
By PETER BAKER
JERUSALEM Undeterred
by a resounding defeat at the
United Nations, Israels govern-
ment said Monday that it would
move ahead with thousands of
new homes in disputed areas and
warned nations against further
action, declaring that Israel does
not turn the other cheek.
Just a few days after the United
Nations Security Council voted to
condemn Israeli settlements, Je-
rusalems municipal government
signaled that it would not back
down: The city intends to approve
600 housing units in the predomi-
nantly Palestinian eastern section
of town on Wednesday in what a
top official called a first install-
ment on 5,600 new homes.
The defiant posture reflected a
bristling anger among Israels
pro-settlement political leaders,
who not only blamed the United
States for failing to block the
Council resolution, but also
claimed to have secret intelli-
gence showing that President
Obamas team had orchestrated it.

nied the claim, but the sides seem
poised for more weeks of conflict

Ads Are Costly
To Conscience
By SAPNA MAHESHWARI
Advertising on the internet has
never been easier. Data and auto-
mation increasingly allow compa-
nies large and small to reach mil-
lions of people every month, and
to tailor ads to specific groups
based on their browsing habits or
demographics.
Now, however, the marketing
industry is facing a moral quanda-
ry in the face of a national debate
over the role that fake news
played in the presidential election
and the realization that many
websites that promote false and
misleading stories are motivated
by the money they can make from
online advertising.
In the zeal to follow consumers
wherever they may roam on the
internet, advertisers now risk
bankrolling sites that are toxic to
society, whether by amplifying
manufactured political stories or
by spreading conspiracy theories
virulent enough to drive a man to
walk into a Washington pizzeria
with a gun. That has inserted a
new ethical cost into the auto-
mated advertising equation,
which promises companies large,
desired audiences at low prices
with little need for human inter-
vention.

premium as a brand and go for

Buyers Endangered by Lead Paint but Unable to Afford Repairs
By ALEXANDRA STEVENSON
and MATTHEW GOLDSTEIN
BALTIMORE A year after
Tiffany Bennett moved into a two-
story red brick house at 524
Loudon Avenue here, she re-
ceived alarming news.
Two children, both younger
than 6, for whom Ms. Bennett was
guardian, were found to have dan-
gerous levels of lead in their blood.
Lead paint throughout the nearly
100-year-old home had poisoned
them.
Who was responsible for the
dangerous conditions in the

Ms. Bennett, 46, and the chil-

Throughout the country, tens of

When there are serious problems

As a result, seller-financed

Over Nominee
To Health Post
By ROBERT PEAR
WASHINGTON When Presi-
dent-elect Donald J. Trump chose
Representative Tom Price of
Georgia to be his health and hu-
man services secretary, the Amer-
ican Medical Association swiftly
endorsed the selection of one of its
own, an orthopedic surgeon who
has championed the role of physi-
cians throughout his legislative
career.
Then the larger world of doctors
and nurses weighed in on the be-
liefs and record of Mr. Price, a sub-
urban Atlanta Republican and
the split among caregivers, espe-
cially doctors, quickly grew sharp.
The A.M.A. does not speak for
us, says a petition signed by more
than 5,000 doctors.
Mr. Trump and a Republican-
held Congress are considering
some of the biggest changes to the
American health care system in
generations: not only the repeal of
the Affordable Care Act, which is
providing insurance to some 20
million people, but also the trans-
formation of Medicare, for older
Americans, and Medicaid, for low-
income people. Mr. Price has fa-
vored those changes.
Seven years ago, the A.M.A.s
support helped lift President Oba-
mas health care proposals toward
passage, and the group has
backed the law, with some reser-
vations, since its adoption in 2010.

Olympic Doping Program
Officials Still Insist Widespread Operation
Was Not Sponsored by Government
By REBECCA R. RUIZ
MOSCOW Russia is for the
first time conceding that its offi-
cials carried out one of the biggest
conspiracies in sports history: a
far-reaching doping operation
that implicated scores of Russian
athletes, tainting not just the 2014
Winter Olympics in Sochi but also
the entire Olympic movement.
Over several days of interviews
here with The New York Times,
Russian officials said they no
longer disputed a damning set of
facts that detailed a doping pro-
gram with few, if any, historical
precedents.
It was an institutional conspir-
acy, Anna Antseliovich, the ac-

CHICAGO The nations third-
largest city will end 2016 with a
surging murder rate, a demoral-
ized and distrusted police force
and a weary populace that has be-
come inured to daily reports of
shootings.
More than 750 people have been
murdered in Chicago in 2016, the
police said, a 58 percent increase
over last year and the highest to-
tal since 1997. There have been
more than 3,500 shootings in the
city this year.
Over Christmas weekend, at
least 60 people were shot, 11 fatally,
according to The Chicago Tribune.
Two teenage girls were among
those shot.
As the year draws to a close,
residents and community leaders
say they are despairing over the
ceaseless violence, which city offi-
cials are trying to confront with
more police officers and new law
enforcement strategies. But many
people here also worry that the
shootings, primarily in African-
American and Hispanic neighbor-
hoods on the South and West
Sides, have become normalized, a
routine part of life.
We should be embarrassed as
a city, every single one of us, that
weve allowed this city to become
the poster boy of violence in
America, said the Rev. Michael
Pfleger, an activist and pastor of a
Catholic church on the South Side.
Are we just going to shake our
heads and say, What a terrible
year in Chicago?
Father Pfleger, who often spars

JERUSALEM Even before
Secretary of State John Kerry
issued his scathing critique of
Israeli policies on Wednesday,
President-elect Donald J. Trump
essentially told Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu to ignore it.
Stay strong Israel, Mr.
Trump wrote on Twitter. Janu-
ary 20th is fast approaching!
Mr. Netanyahu responded
warmly. President-elect Trump,
thank you for your warm friend-
ship and your clear-cut support
for Israel! he wrote, adding
Israeli and American flag emojis.
Mr. Kerrys much-anticipated
Middle East speech brought
together four giant personalities
representing two radically diver-
gent worldviews in one momen-
tous clash.
On one side was Mr. Kerry,
venting years of frustration on
behalf of President Obama and
himself at what they consider
Israeli intransigence.
On the other were Mr. Netan-
yahu and Mr. Trump, firing back
at what they deemed a hypocriti-
cal betrayal of Americas closest
friend in the Middle East.
If Mr. Obama and Mr. Kerry
were playing for history, Mr.
Netanyahu and Mr. Trump were

intended for the speech to lay out

Her death was confirmed by
her son, Todd Fisher, according to
her agent, Tom Markley of the
Metropolitan Talent Agency. Ms.
Reynolds was taken to a Los An-

Voicing Frustration
at Netanyahu
By DAVID E. SANGER
WASHINGTON Secretary of
State John Kerry accused Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of
Israel on Wednesday of thwarting
peace in the Middle East, speak-
ing with a clarity and harshness
almost never heard from Ameri-
can diplomats when discussing
one of their closest and strongest
allies.
With only 23 days left in his
four-year turn as secretary of
state, during which he made the
search for peace in the Middle
East one of his driving missions,
Mr. Kerry said the Israeli govern-
ment was undermining any hope
of a two-state solution to its dec-
ades-long conflict with the Pales-
tinians.
The American vote last week in
the United Nations allowing the
condemnation of Israel for settle-
ments in the West Bank and East
Jerusalem, he added, was driven
by a desire to save Israel from the
most extreme elements in its
own government.
The status quo is leading to-
ward one state and perpetual oc-
cupation, Mr. Kerry said, his
voice animated.
His speech was a powerful ad-
monition after years of tension
and frustration, with the Obama
administration giving public voice
to its long-held concern that Israel
was headed off a cliff toward inter-
national isolation and was con-
demning itself to a future of low-
level, perpetual warfare with the
Palestinians.
Reaction was immediate and
harsh, not only from Mr. Netanya-
hu, but also from Senators John
McCain, Republican of Arizona,

President Obama revoked Russian access to waterfront estates on Marylands Eastern Shore, left, and in Glen Cove, N.Y.
The U.S. Complaint
The Obama administration
cited the Russians for trying to
undermine the election, for theft
and misappropriation, and for
harassment of American person-
nel.
HACKING Placed sanctions on the
intelligence services G.R.U. and
F.S.B., four G.R.U. officers and
three companies that provided
support to the G.R.U. in its cyber-
operations.
THEFT Penalized two Russians
for the theft of more than $100
million from American financial
institutions and other entities
and for compromising computer
networks in at least three e-
commerce companies.
HARASSMENT Identified 35 diplo-
mats based in Washington and

them 72 hours to leave the coun-
try, and told the Russian govern-
ment that it would be denied
access to compounds it owns in

That Isnt Enough at Stanford.

At Stanford University, in a con-

gathered in June 2015 to decide
whether a sexual assault had oc-
curred on campus. Several
months later, after a process
marred by procedural errors, five

rule on the matter again.
The case involved a woman, a
sophomore, who had met a player
on Stanfords powerhouse football
team at a fraternity party one Sat-

her room where, she said, he

Obama Expels 35 Diplomats and Imposes
Sanctions, Putting Trump in a Bind
By DAVID E. SANGER
WASHINGTON President
Obama struck back at Russia on
Thursday for its efforts to influ-
ence the 2016 election, ejecting 35
suspected Russian intelligence
operatives from the United States
and imposing sanctions on Rus-
sias two leading intelligence serv-
ices.
The administration also penal-
ized four top officers of one of
those services, the powerful mili-
tary intelligence unit known as
the G.R.U. Intelligence agencies
have concluded that the G.R.U. or-
dered the attacks on the Demo-
cratic National Committee and
other political organizations, with
the approval of the Kremlin, and
ultimately enabled the publication
of the emails it harvested.
The expulsion of the 35 Rus-
sians, whom the administration
said were spies posing as diplo-
mats and other officials, and their
families was in response to the
harassment of American diplo-
mats in Russia, State Department
officials said. It was unclear if they
were involved in the hacking.
In addition, the State Depart-
ment announced the closing of
two waterfront estates one in
On East Coast, 2 Compounds
Caught Up in Historys Echoes
By MARK MAZZETTI and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT
WASHINGTON A pair of lux-

side New York and Washington
have for decades been a retreat
for Russian diplomats, places to
frolic in the water, play tennis and
take lengthy steam baths.
On Thursday, Obama adminis-
tration officials described the
compounds differently: as beach-
side spy nests sometimes used by
Russian intelligence operatives to
have long conversations on the
sand to avoid being ensnared by
American electronic surveillance.
They ordered all Russians out
of the compounds within 24 hours.
The move was one of a number
of retaliatory measures the White
House announced in response to
what it called a Russian campaign
to wreak havoc on the presidential
election, and to what it said was

Glen Cove, N.Y., and another on
Marylands Eastern Shore that
it said were used for Russian intel-
ligence activities, although offi-
cials declined to say whether they
were specifically used in the elec-
tion-related hacks.
Taken together, the sweeping
actions announced by the White
House, the Treasury, the State De-
partment and intelligence agen-
cies on Thursday amount to the
strongest American response yet
to a state-sponsored cyberattack.
They also appeared intended to
box in President-elect Donald J.
Trump, who will now have to de-
cide whether to lift the sanctions
on Russian intelligence agencies
when he takes office next month.
Mr. Trump responded to the
Russian sanctions late Thursday
by reiterating a call to move on.
But he pledged to meet with intel-
ligence officials, who have con-
cluded that the Russian hacking
was an attempt to tip the election
to Mr. Trump.

officials in Russia.
Besides the shuttering of the
two compounds, administration
officials announced the expulsion
by Sunday of 35 unnamed Russian
officials and their families
who they said were working un-

of the tit-for-tat reprisals that

China Banning
Ivory, Thrilling
Nature Groups
By EDWARD WONG
and JEFFREY GETTLEMAN
China announced on Friday
that it was banning all commerce
in ivory by the end of 2017, a move
that would shut down the worlds
largest ivory market and could
deal a critical blow to the practice
of elephant poaching in Africa.
The decision by China follows
years of growing international
and domestic pressure and gives
wildlife protection advocates hope
that the threatened extinction of
certain elephant populations in
Africa can be averted.
Chinas announcement is a
game changer for elephant con-
servation, Carter Roberts, the
president and chief executive of
the World Wildlife Fund, said in a
written statement. With the
United States also ending its do-
mestic ivory trade earlier this
year, two of the largest ivory mar-
kets have taken action that will re-
verberate around the world.
According to some estimates,
more than 100,000 elephants have
been wiped out in Africa over the
past 10 years in a ruthless scram-
ble for ivory driven by Chinese de-
mand. Some Chinese investors
call ivory white gold, while
carvers and collectors call it the
organic gemstone.
Elly Pepper, a wildlife advocate
with the Natural Resources De-
fense Council, which is based in
New York, wrote that Chinas an-
nouncement may be the biggest
sign of hope for elephants since
the current poaching crisis be-
gan.
Wildlife advocates have said for
years that the most important
step in putting poachers out of
business would be shutting down
the ivory industry in China.

Police and Residents Divided as Killings Persist in South Bronx

MURDER IN THE 4-0 The South
Thin Blue Ranks Bronx, just
across the
Harlem River
from Manhattan and once shorthand for
urban dysfunction, still suffers violence at
levels long ago slashed in many other
parts of New York City. And yet the citys
efforts to fight it remain splintered, un-
derfunded and burdened by scandal.
In the 40th Precinct, at the southern tip
of the Bronx, as in other poor, minority
neighborhoods across the country, people
long hounded for small-time infractions
are crying out for more protection against
grievous injury or death. By September,
four of every five shootings in the precinct
this year were unsolved.
Out of the citys 77 precincts, the 40th
has the highest murder rate but the
fewest detectives per violent crime, re-
flecting disparities in staffing that hit
hardest in some neighborhoods outside
Manhattan, according to a New York
Times analysis of Police Department
data. Investigators in the precinct are
saddled with twice the number of cases
the department recommends, even as
their bosses are called to Police Head-
quarters to answer for the sharpest crime
rise in the city this year.
And across the Bronx, investigative re-
sources are squeezed. It has the highest
violent-crime rate of the citys five bor-

Rejects Advice to Eject Diplomats
By NEIL MacFARQUHAR
MOSCOW President Vlad-
imir V. Putin of Russia announced
Friday that he would not retaliate
against President Obamas deci-
sion to expel Russian diplomats
and impose new sanctions only
hours after his foreign minister
recommended doing just that.
Mr. Putin, betting on improved
relations with the next American
president, said he would not eject
35 diplomats or close any diplo-
matic facilities, rejecting a tit-for-
tat response to the actions taken
on Thursday by the Obama ad-
ministration.
The switch was remarkable,
given that Russias foreign min-
ister, Sergey V. Lavrov, had just
recommended the retaliation in
remarks broadcast live on na-
tional television. He called for pu-
nitive measures mirroring the
ones imposed by the Obama ad-
ministration, which accuses Rus-
sia of intimidating American di-
plomats and hacking institutions
like the Democratic National
Committee to influence the 2016
election.
The two countries have a long
history of reciprocal expulsions,

Hillary Clinton may not be

the kind of terms that would be

The silver lining for Mrs. Clin-

Mrs. Clintons campaign is
built on the premise that she has
the national security experience

F.B.I. Calls Email
By MARK LANDLER
and ERIC LICHTBLAU
WASHINGTON The F.B.I.
director, James B. Comey, on Tues-
day recommended no criminal
charges against Hillary Clinton
for her handling of classified infor-
mation while she was secretary of
state, lifting an enormous legal
cloud from her presidential cam-
paign less than two hours before
she boarded Air Force One for her
first joint campaign appearance
with President Obama.
But on a day of political high
drama in Washington, Mr. Comey
rebuked Mrs. Clinton as being
extremely careless in using a
private email address and server.
He raised questions about her
judgment, contradicted state-
ments she has made about her
email practices, said it was possi-
ble that hostile foreign govern-
ments had gained access to her
account, and declared that a per-
son still employed by the govern-
ment Mrs. Clinton left the State
Department in 2013 could have
faced disciplinary action for doing
what she did.
To warrant a criminal charge,
Mr. Comey said, there had to be
evidence that Mrs. Clinton inten-
tionally transmitted or willfully
mishandled classified informa-
tion. The F.B.I. found neither, and
as a result, he said, our judgment
is that no reasonable prosecutor
would bring such a case.

painkiller addiction only to strug-

was to be driven more than a thou-

where his ex-wife and three chil-
dren lived, to face a judge.
Like dozens of states and count-
less localities, Butler County out-

Galack was loaded into a van run
by Prisoner Transportation

Crammed around him were 10
other people, both men and wom-

the waist and ankles. They sat
tightly packed on seats inside a
cage, with no way to lie down to
sleep. The air conditioning fal-
tered amid 90-degree heat. Mr.
Galack soon grew delusional,
keeping everyone awake with a
barrage of chatter and odd behav-
ior. On the third day, the van
stopped in Georgia, and one of two
guards onboard gave a directive
to the prisoners. Only body

heard the guard say. The others

Fallout Could Imperil
Security Clearances DRIVE FOR PARTY UNITY
By ERIC LICHTBLAU

WASHINGTON Questions
raised by the F.B.I. about the State
Departments handling of Hillary
Clintons emails have cast a cloud
of doubt over the political futures
of a number of her top advisers, in-
cluding some expected to hold
high-level jobs in her administra-
tion if she is elected president.
Though Attorney General Lo-
retta E. Lynch formally affirmed
on Wednesday that the Justice
Department would not seek crimi-
nal charges against anyone in the
email case, fallout from the matter
is sure to affect several dozen
State Department advisers who,
records show, facilitated Mrs.
Clintons unorthodox email ar-
rangement or used it to send her
classified documents.
Among those drawing the most
intense scrutiny are Cheryl Mills,
Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan,
onetime aides who could face diffi-
cult questions in pursuing securi-
ty clearances for diplomatic or na-
tional security posts because of
their involvement with Mrs. Clin-
tons emails.
The State Department said it
would restart an internal review
into the handling of Mrs. Clintons
emails now that Justices investi-
gation is formally closed, and that
review could threaten the security
clearances of several dozen other
career officials and political
appointees who knew of Mrs. Clin-
tons private email server.

IN TUITION PLAN
In-State Colleges Free
for Families Earning
Up to $125,000
By STEPHANIE SAUL
and MATT FLEGENHEIMER
Hillary Clintons campaign an-
nounced a proposal on Wednes-
day to eliminate tuition at in-state
public colleges and universities
for families with annual incomes
up to $125,000 largely embrac-
ing a core position of Senator
Bernie Sanders, who had pledged
to make tuition at public institu-
tions free for all students.
While stopping short of Mr.
Sanderss vision, the proposal is
likely to hearten many of the sena-
tors young supporters who had
flocked to his insurgent campaign.
Mrs. Clinton and her aides are
working to unite the party behind
her before the Democratic Na-
tional Convention begins on July
25 in Philadelphia. She and Mr.
Sanders have already discussed
the importance of featuring the is-
sue of the affordability of higher
education prominently in the gen-
eral election.
Mr. Sanders, who has yet to end
his candidacy and endorse Mrs.
Clinton, praised her education
proposal as a very bold initia-
tive in a brief news conference in
Washington on Wednesday, call-
ing it a significant step for party
unity. The final product is the
work of both campaigns, he said
a clear sign of thawing relations
between the two after a bitterly
fought nominating contest.
The policy proposals come as
Mrs. Clinton has been engaged in
intensely personal sparring with
Donald J. Trump, the presumptive
Republican nominee, and could be
an effort to turn the page in her
campaign a day after the F.B.I. di-
rector, James B. Comey, was
sharply critical of her extremely
careless use of a private email
address and server.
Under Mrs. Clintons education
proposal, the federal government
would provide tuition grants to
states that agree to put up some
matching money. In some re-
spects, the proposal was similar to
one Mrs. Clinton made last year.
At that time, however, she said she
would expect families to make a
realistic contribution to tuition
payments.
Also, borrowing a key aspect of
Mr. Sanderss plan, the new pro-
posal appears to make tougher de-
mands on states than her previous
one.
Education policy experts gen-
erally praised the new proposal,
calling the requirements for state
financial participation essential to
reversing the drastic state cuts in
higher education support. But
some experts said details of the
initiative including exactly how
it would work and be paid for
were sketchy, and raised concerns
that some states would decline to
contribute money.
They also raised questions
about the impact on private col-
leges and universities with small

11 OFFICERS SHOT,
4 FATALLY, AT RALLY
AGAINST VIOLENCE
Chaos in Dallas Earlier, Obama Called
Police Shootings an American Issue
This article is by Manny Fernan-
dez, Matt Furber and Richard
Prez-Pea.
HOUSTON Gunfire broke
out in Dallas on Thursday evening
at a demonstration over the police
shootings captured on video in
Louisiana and Minnesota, turning
a vocal but peaceful rally into cha-
os as two snipers shot at police of-
ficers, killing four of them, the po-
lice said.
Chief David O. Brown said that
the snipers shot the officers from
elevated positions during the
rally. Seven officers were
wounded by the snipers. The con-
ditions of the wounded officers
were unknown. Several of the shot
officers were Dallas Area Rapid
Transit police.
The police said late Thursday
that a person of interest had
turned himself in and that another
person had been taken into cus-
tody.
The chief said that 10 officers
were shot by the snipers and that
an 11th was shot during an ex-
change of gunfire with one of the
suspects and was hospitalized.
He said that some of the officers
were shot in the back and that in-
vestigators believed the shooters
had positioned themselves in a
way to get a triangulated firing po-
sition on the officers.
The gunmen planned to injure
and kill as many law enforcement
officers as they could, Chief
Brown said.
The shooting occurred after
President Obama, reacting with
the same horror as many Ameri-
cans to a grisly video of a bloody,
dying man in Minnesota who was
shot by the police, begged the na-
tion to confront the racial dispari-
ties in law enforcement while ac-
knowledging the dangers that of-
ficers face.
When incidents like this occur,
theres a big chunk of our citizenry
that feels as if, because of the color
of their skin, they are not being
treated the same, and that hurts,
and that should trouble all of us,
Mr. Obama said in a statement on
Thursday after arriving in War-
saw for a NATO summit meeting.
This is not just a black issue, not
just a Hispanic issue. This is an
American issue that we all should
care about.

For most of her presidential

showing that a majority of voters
do not trust her, she has attributed
the problem to decades of wild Re-

conspiracy theories.
Last week, speaking to a sym-
pathetic crowd in Chicago, she
also pointed a finger in a surpris-

Dallas Sniper Said to Be Driven

DALLAS The heavily armed
sniper who gunned down police
officers in downtown Dallas, leav-
ing five of them dead, specifically
set out to kill as many white offi-
cers as he could, officials said Fri-
day. He was a military veteran
who had served in Afghanistan,
and he kept an arsenal in his home
that included bomb-making ma-
terials.
The gunman turned a demon-
stration against fatal police shoot-
ings this week of black men in
Minnesota and Louisiana from a
peaceful march focused on vio-
lence committed by officers into a
scene of chaos and bloodshed
aimed against them.
The shooting was the kind of re-

Long after her two sons were in
bed, Shanel Berry kept vigil in
front of the television at her home
in Waterloo, Iowa, watching the
weeks horror unfurl and obsess-
ing over a single question: Was
the gunman who killed five Dallas
police officers black?
I just thought, Please, please
dont let him be black, because if
he was, she worried that police
shootings of black men could be-
come easy to justify. Ms. Berry, an
elementary school teacher, said
she hurt for the officers and their
families. But when the gunman
was identified and his photo
flashed on the screen, she sank
even lower.
I told my boys, Now, this will

David Moody, a retired Las Vegas
police officer, woke on Friday
morning to fellow officers writing
messages of anger and condo-
lence on their Facebook pages,
posting black-clad badges in soli-
darity with the Dallas Police De-

he called the anti-police sentiment
of protests over the deaths of two
black men fatally shot last week
by the police in Louisiana and
Minnesota. And now this.
The atmosphere thats out

GARLAND, Tex. There was a
time when he was known as a
well-mannered young man a
regular at his church and a pleas-
ant presence on a tree-lined, sub-
urban, multicultural street in a
neighborhood called Camelot. He
grew up to serve his country in Af-
ghanistan.
But on Thursday night, 25-year-
old Micah Johnson, an African-
American, drove his car to a rally
against police violence and began
killing officers in downtown Dal-
las, hoping to single out the white
ones. In the process, he also man-
aged to bring his war back home,
killing at least one fellow military
veteran and heightening fears
that the nation he had been de-
ployed to protect overseas was
now failing to address its growing
racial divide at home.
The Dallas police remained on
edge Saturday. In the late after-
noon, officers drew their weapons
and cleared an area near the back
of their headquarters after a re-

No moment in the 2016 presi-

more for a unifying candidate
than the police shootings of two
black men last week and the ensu-

the shocking sniper ambush that
killed five police officers in Dallas.
And no other moment has re-
vealed more starkly how hard it is
for Donald J. Trump and Hillary
Clinton to become that candidate.
Never have two presidential no-
minees been as unpopular as Mr.
Trump and Mrs. Clinton, and they
are neither fully trusted by their
own parties nor showing signifi-
cant crossover appeal in the polls.
Mr. Trump, the self-described
champion of law and order, is also

In the past several days, as

the Army Reserve, but then
continued a training regimen of
his own devising, conducting mili-

self-effacing and, as he put it, a lit-

Monday, he spoke about the crisis
facing law enforcement, his expe-

him going Gods grace and his
sweet, tender mercies, just to be
quite honest with you.
The day before President
Obama was scheduled to arrive
here, David O. Brown, Dallass
African-American police chief,
was putting a human face, tinged
with humor and pathos, on the ex-
haustion and torment fueling this
precarious American moment.
Four days earlier, a black man,
intent on killing white officers, fa-
tally shot five police officers in
downtown Dallas while the nation
was reeling from the deaths of two
black men at the hands of the po-
lice in Louisiana and Minnesota.

Ive basically stopped asking
them whats going on, Ms. Gar-
ner said in an interview last week.
If theyre going to do something,
then theyll do it. But its in Gods
hands now. Im done.
Killings involving police offi-
cers seemed to have occurred in
recent years with a striking regu-
larity, including two last week:
one last Tuesday in Baton Rouge,
La., and a second in a suburb of St.
Paul, Minn., on Wednesday night.
While the federal government
does not investigate a majority of
these episodes, when it does get
involved as it announced it
would in the Louisiana case the
inquiries can often be protracted.
The long delays in the Garner
investigation, which has been es-
pecially closely watched, have
come about for several reasons:
There are inherent complexities
in the federal civil rights law and a
desire among officials to move
with caution in a delicate matter.
But there has also been, according
to those involved, a heated dis-
agreement over how and even
whether to go forward.

HOME SECRETARY
BECOMES CHOICE
TO LEAD BRITAIN
A DAY OF HIGH DRAMA
Second Woman, After
Thatcher, to Rise to
Prime Minister
By STEPHEN CASTLE
LONDON Theresa May
emerged on Monday as Britains
second woman, after Margaret
Thatcher, to hold that post. She
faces multiple challenges as soon
as she takes office, from negotiat-
ing the nations departure from
the European Union to addressing
deep social and political divisions
to reviving a wounded economy.
Her victory came on another
day of rapid developments in
British politics and set in motion a
process that officials said would
put her in 10 Downing Street by
Wednesday night, succeeding Da-
vid Cameron.
Ms. May, until now Britains
home secretary, is set to take over
at a time of immense upheaval.
The nation must not only negoti-
ate its withdrawal from the Euro-
pean Union, a process fraught
with economic and political risks,
renewed clamor from Scotland for
independence. Early signs are
that Britains economy has al-
ready taken a substantial hit from
the exit vote, or Brexit.
A Conservative like Mrs.
Thatcher, who governed from 1979
to 1990, Ms. May, 59, has won a
reputation for steeliness in her
tenure as home secretary. She has
pledged to negotiate a deal to
leave the European Union that
would reassert Britains ability to
