NEW YORK — I’m not sure how much I
can trust you people, so I’m not going to say
too much about the location of the treasure. I
mean, I don’t technically know where it is, or
else I’d have dug it up already. But I know
roughly where it is. Probably. Unless it’s in
the other place where I think it could be.
I’m rambling, but treasure hunting makes
me suspicious of everything. And that espe-

Protesters return to streets in Minsk
Thousands rally
as Belarus leader
vows crackdown
By Ivan Nechepurenko
NEW YORK TIMES
MINSK, Belarus — One day
after President Alexander Lu-
kashenko of Belarus promised
to crush with an iron fist the
protests that have broken out
since his reelection this month,
tens of thousands of people
took to the streets of the capital,
Minsk, on Sunday to show their
determination to force him out
of office.
After a week of rallies and
publicity stunts in support of
Lukashenko, who has led Belar-
us, a former Soviet republic,
since 1994, many expected the
protests against him to ebb. But
by late Sunday afternoon, a sea
of people had filled the main In-
dependence Avenue in central
Minsk, blocking all traffic there
and on side streets.
Some es timates put the
number of demonstrators at
well over 100,000, in what ap-
peared to be a repeat of a simi-
lar rally a week earlier.
Although Lukashenko de-
clared a landslide victory and
80 percent of the vote in the
Aug. 9 election, protesters and
international bodies, including
the European Union, have
called it fraudulent. The main
opposition candidate, Svetlana
Tikhanovskaya, also declared
victory and fled to neighboring
Lithuania out of fear for her
safety.
Initial protests over the re-
sults were met with a violent
crackdown by Lukashenko’s ro-
bust law enforcement appara-
tus, including beatings and
mass detentions. No arrests or
clashes were reported on Sun-
day, despite the presence of riot
police vans parked near the
demonstrations, though Lu-
kashenko told a rally of sup-
porters in the city of Grodno
this weekend that protesters

California wildfires
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. —
Three massive wildfires
chewed through the parched
Northern California landscape
Sunday as firefighters raced to
dig breaks and make other
preparations ahead of a fright-
ening weather system. That
system was packing high winds
and more of the lightning that
sparked the huge blazes and
scores of other fires around the
state, putting nearly a quarter-
million people under evacua-
tion orders and warnings.
At the CZU Lightning Com-
plex fire in the Santa Cruz
Mountains, authorities said
their effort was hindered by
people who refused to heed
evacuation orders and those
who were using the chaos to
steal. Santa Cruz County Sher-
iff Jim Hart said 100 officers
were patrolling and anyone not
authorized to be in an evacua-
tion zone would be arrested.
Alaska mine project facing new delays
WASHINGTON — The Ar-
my Corps of Engineers will im-
pose new demands for mitigat-
ing environmental damage
from a vast proposed copper
and gold mine in Alaska, po-
tentially delaying approvals for
the project beyond the presi-
dential election, three people
familiar with the corps’ plans
said Saturday.
The corps is expected to
send a letter Monday to the de-
velopers of the Pebble Mine
project, these people said, add-
ing that it will not issue a per-
mit until the company presents
plans to protect an area in the
surrounding watershed, a criti-
cal breeding ground for salm-
on, equal in size to the acreage
that the mine would damage.
World/Nation
Protesters rallied in Minsk, Belarus, on Sunday. Some estimates put the number of demonstrators at well over 100,000.
Many at Sunday’s protest
were wrapped in Belarus’s tra-
ditional white-and-red flag,
which became an opposition
symbol after Lukashenko re-
placed it with a more Soviet-
looking emblem soon after
coming to power. A few came
with the one used by Lukashen-
ko’s supporters — a bid to show
that the country is united in a
desire to see him gone from of-
fice.
“It doesn’t matter what flag
it is; we just want him to leave,”
said Darya O. Rolya, 28, an ac-
countant.
It was unclear how the pro-
testers could achieve that aim,
with Lukashenko having indi-
cated repeatedly that he has no
intention of succumbing to
pressure from the streets.
“We had elections,” he told a

ic nominee, prevails in Novem-

Wife, aide visit
comatose dissident
in Berlin hospital
BERLIN — Alexei Navalny’s
wife and a top aide visited him
Sunday in a Berlin hospital
where the comatose Russian
dissident is being treated by
German doctors after a sus-
pected poisoning.
Navalny was flown to Ger-
many on Saturday from Siberia
on Saturday after doctors de-
termined he was stable enough
to be brought to the capital’s
Charité hospital for treatment.
After his arrival, hospital
spokeswoman Manuela Zingl
said that the 44-year-old would
be undergoing extensive diag-
nostic tests, and that doctors
wouldn’t comment on his ill-
ness or treatment until they
were able to evaluate the re-
sults.
On Sunday, Navalny’s wife,
Yulia Navalnaya, and aide Le-
onid Volkov visited the opposi-
tion leader in the hospital but
did not speak to reporters.
Navalny, a politician and
corruption investigator who is
one of Russian President Vladi-
mir Putin’s fiercest critics, fell
ill on a flight back to Moscow
from Siberia on Thursday and
was taken to the hospital in the
city of Omsk after the plane
made an emergency landing.
His supporters believe that tea
he drank was laced with poison
— and that the Kremlin is be-
hind both his illness and a de-
lay in transferring him to Ger-
many.
While his supporters and
family members insist that Na-
valny was poisoned, doctors in
Omsk denied that, saying that a
metabolic disorder was the
most likely diagnosis and that a
drop in blood sugar may have
caused Navalny to lose con-
sciousness.

Gulf
braces
for twin
storms
La. residents flee
potential flooding
By Rebecca Santana
and Jeff Martin
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — The Gulf
Coast braced Sunday for a po-
tentially devastating hit from
twin hurricanes as two strong
storms swirled toward the Unit-
ed States from the Gulf of Mexi-
co and the Caribbean. Officials
feared a history-making on-
slaught of life-threatening
winds and flooding along the
coast, stretching from Texas to
Alabama.
A storm dubbed Marco grew
into a hurricane Sunday as it
moved up the Gulf of Mexico to-
ward Louisiana. Another po-
tential hurricane, Tropical
Storm Laura, lashed the Do-
minican Republic and Haiti
and was targeting the same re-
gion of the US coast.
With the potential the
storms could overlap, parts of
Louisiana, especially in south-
central portions of the state,
could see rainfall up to 2 feet,
said Benjamin Schott, meteo-
rologist in charge of the Nation-
al Weather Service’s Slidell, La.,
office.
“There has never been any-
thing we’ve seen like this be-
fore, where you can have possi-
bly two hurricanes hitting with-
in miles of each over a 48-hour
period,” Schott added at a Sun-
day briefing.
While Hurricane Marco is
likely to hit Louisiana first, hur-
ricane specialists are more wor-
ried about the second potential-
ly stronger smack from Laura.
Marco is expected to dance
above and below hurricane sta-
tus over the next day and a half
after hitting the 75 miles-per-
hour-wind mark Sunday after-
noon.
“The central Gulf could be
really under the gun between
Marco and Laura in back-to-
back succession,’’ said Colorado
State University hurricane re-
searcher Phil Klotzbach. “Cer-
tainly both of these storms can
impact New Orleans signifi-
cantly. It just remains to be seen
if the track for Laura tracks a
bit to the west.”
University of Miami hurri-
cane researcher Brian McNoldy
said, “I would be very worried if
I were there” in New Orleans.
It’s not so much either storm as
much as the long period of
storm surge first from Marco
and then from Laura and
whether the levee system can
withstand the stress, he said.
New Orleans resident Mat-
thew Meloy and two friends
loaded a van with cases of bot-
tled water in the parking lot of a
New Orleans Walmart Sunday.
He said they still have a lot of
storm prep ahead.
“Check the batteries, flash-
lights, stocking up on food, and
trying to park the car on the
highest point possible we can
find,” he said. “I already spent
like 40 minutes this morning
filling up the tanks in the cars,
just in case, and I’ll be checking
the gutters, making sure they’re
clear.”
With Marco and its expected
landfall in Louisiana Monday
evening, the biggest worry is
water, not wind. Forecasters ex-
pect up to 10 or more inches of
rain and storm surges of 4 to 6
feet, with 2 to 4 feet around
Lake Pontchartrain.
For Laura, add the wind haz-
ard, bigger storm surge, and
more heavy rain on top of the
first rain to increase flooding on
already saturated areas, Mc-
Noldy said.
Because of strong winds
from the southwest, Marco may
attain and then lose hurricane
status before it hits land Mon-
day, meteorologists said.
The key for Laura’s future is
how it sur vi ves Cuba. T he
storm is forecast to rake across
almost the entire length of the
long island and the more it re-
mains over land, the more it
can weaken from lack of fuel..

Centers for Disease Control and

The highly unusual de-
mand, aimed at hospitals in
coronavirus hot spots using
funds passed by Congress with
no preconditions, alarmed
some hospital administrators
and even some federal health
officials.
The office of the health sec-
retary, Alex Azar, laid out the

Times that instructed hospitals
to make a one-time report of
their COVID-19 admissions

The financial condition,
which has not been previously
reported, applied to money
from a $100 billion “coronavi-
rus provider relief fund” estab-
lished by Congress as part of
the $2.2 trillion CARES Act,
signed by President Trump on
March 27. Two days later, the
administration instructed hos-
pitals to make daily reports to
the CDC, only to change course.

US judge halts DeVos’s rule
giving aid to private schools
A federal judge in Washing-
ton state temporarily blocked
Education Secretary Betsy De-
Vos from enforcing a controver-
sial rule that directs states to
give private schools a bigger
share of federal coronavirus aid
than Congress had intended.
In a lawsuit filed by the
state, US District Court Judge
Barbara J. Rothstein on Friday
issued a preliminary injunction
and castigated the Education
Department over the July 1 reg-
ulation about the distribution
of federal funds. The money,
about $13.5 billion, was includ-
ed for K-12 schools in Con-
gress’s March $2 trillion-aid
package — known as the Cares
Act — to mitigate economic
damage from the pandemic.
Rothstein slammed the Edu-
cation Department for arguing
that states would not suffer ir-
reparable damage if forced to
implement the rule and said
there was cause to put a pre-
liminary injunction on the rule
while the broader issues are

By contrast, they said stud-

“Very few, if any, children or
teenagers will come to long-
term harm from COVID-19 due
solely to attending school,” they
said in a statement. “This has
to be set against a certainty of
long-term harm to many chil-
dren and young people from
not attending school.”
The statement comes as par-
ents and teachers express con-
cern about reopening schools
next month amid fears that so-
cial distancing measures won’t
keep children safe.

Pakistan shuts hotels over

‘‘The department claim that
the state faces only an econom-
ic injury, which ordinarily does
not qualify as irreparable harm,
is remarkably callous, and
blind to the realities of this ex-
traordinary pandemic and the
very purpose of the Cares Act:
to provide emergency relief
where it is most needed,’’ Roth-
stein wrote.
The Education Department
did not respond to a request for
comment about the decision.
US legislators from both
parties said that most of the
funding was intended to be dis-
tributed to public and private
elementary and secondary
schools using a formula based
on how many poor children
they serve that had long been
used for distributing federal
aid.

According to Maqbool Hus-
sain, a district government offi-
cial, Sunday’s move to place
high-risk areas of Shogran,
Naran, and Kaghan under lock-
down was aimed at containing
the spread of the virus.
He said as many as 47 hotel
employees who tested positive
were quarantined at the hotels
where they worked.
The measures came hours
after Pakistan reported four
new COVID-19 fatalities in the
past 24 hours, the fewest
deaths reported in a day since
March. That announcement
raised hopes that Pakistan is on
the right path despite having a
fragile health system.
Pakistan has confirmed
more than 275,000 coronavirus
infections and nearly 6,300
deaths since reporting its first
case in February.

ty stadiums on Sunday as South
Korea stepped up measures na-
tionwide to fight a resurgence
in coronavirus cases that has
raised concerns that the epi-
demic is getting out of control.
The 397 new cases reported
by South Korea’s Centers for

marked the 10th-straight day
of triple-digit increases and in-

The resurgence, which be-
gan in the densely populated
Seoul area before reaching
practically every major city and
provincial town over the past
week, is a major setback for a
country that had been eager to
tout its gains against the virus.
After avoiding stringent so-

stepped up restrictions nation-
wide on Sunday.
They banned gatherings of
more than 50 people indoors

other time was Monday, when

weekend.
The daily total peaked July
15, when more than 15,000

clining. Late Sunday morning,
4,578 patients were being treat-

Returning vacationers drive
Italy’s surge in virus cases
ROME — With thousands of
travelers being tested at Italy’s
airports and some ports, the
nation where Europe’s COVID-
19 outbreak began registered a
seventh-straight day of increas-
ing new infections Sunday,
mostly driven by returning va-
cationers.
Sicily’s governor, mean-
while, ordered all migrant resi-
dences on the Italian island to
be shut down by Monday, part
of a pushback by Italian regions
alarmed by a steady climb in
COVID-19 cases a few weeks
before schools are scheduled to
reopen.
But people coming in from
Mediterranean Sea resorts
abroad as well as from the Ital-
ian island of Sardinia have ac-
counted for far more of Italy’s
new coronavirus infections
lately than have migrants.
Italy registered 1,210 new
cases Sunday, the highest daily
number since May 12 and only
weeks after it saw new infec-
tions plunge to about 200 a day.
The Lazio region, which in-
cludes Rome, and the hard-hit
Lombardy led the nation in re-
gional new caseloads Sunday.
Thousands of returning travel-
ers got tested at Rome-area air-
ports and a port north of the
capital, as well as at airports
that serve Lombardy’s main
city, Milan. Other cities, like Tu-
rin, also have set up airport test
facilities.

be tested within 48 hours of en-

Activists aim to protect Roxbury’s precious trees Conway

City officials began planning
a wide range of changes to the

proposed adding more lanes to

eral grants for roadway im- WASHINGTON — Kelly-

provements.
The final plan seeks to cre-
ate a “more pedestrian-friend-
ly” boulevard, one safer to cross
and easier to navigate by bicy-
cle, with slower traffic and
more flood protections.
Instead of additional space
for vehicles, the plan is to add
bike lanes on both sides of the
boulevard.
“Ensuring all these priori-
ties are met has been the focus
of the work for the last several
years of this project,” said Au-
drey Coulter, a spokeswoman
for Mayor Martin J. Walsh.
The removal of trees is nec-
essary “to meet all priorities,”
she said.
“The trees that are still slat-
ed to be removed are due to ad-
justments in the design of the
road, principally to reduce
crashes and flooding, and to
improve the infrastructure for
walking and biking,” Coulter
said.
But environmental advo-
cates say city officials have vio-
lated state law. In a letter this
month to city officials, lawyers
from the Conservation Law
Foundation in Boston said the
city failed to hold a public hear-
ing about their plans. State law,
they said, requires tree war-
dens to hold a hearing before
removing any “public shade
trees,” or nearly any tree on
public property.
The attorneys also argued
that city officials have failed to
consider the climate impact of
removing so many mature

tal justice community that is al-
ready facing disparate impacts
from extreme heat,” they wrote.
“Urban [tree] canopy is a criti-
cal tool for communities in
combating the effects of ex-
treme heat. The residents of
Roxbury should, at the very
least, have an opportunity to
voice their concerns.”
More than 90 percent of
Roxbury’s residents are people
of color.
City officials declined to re-
spond to the allegations, but in
the past, they have told local
residents that such public road-
way projects are exempt from
the law, which the attorneys
disputed.
Of the 124 trees the city
plans to remove, 25 are consid-
ered dead, Coulter said. To
make up for the removed trees,
the city plans to replant anoth-
er 205 along the boulevard,
which was named after a civil
rights activist known as the
“first lady of Roxbury.”
The city has already plant-
ed, or plans to plant, another
140 trees in the surrounding
area, she said.
But new trees take decades
to provide the shade and cli-
mate benefits of mature trees.
Most of the trees along the bou-
levard were planted in 1981, af-
ter a failed project to build an
“inner belt” highway there that
would have connected Roxbury
with Brookline, Cambridge,
and Somerville.
Given the steadily rising
temperatures from global
warming — last month was tied
for the second hottest July on
record, following July 2019, the
hottest month on record — crit-
ics of the project said the city
should revise the construction
plan to preserve far more trees.
“ This is an awful, awful
plan,” said Michelle Wu, a city
councilor who chairs the coun-
cil’s planning, development,
and transportation committee.
Wu, who recently released a
“Green New Deal” plan for Bos-
ton, noted that neighborhoods
such as Roxbury will probably
bear the brunt of the warming.
In 50 years, the city expects
summer temperatures will ex-
ceed 90 degrees nearly every
day, with higher temperatures
in areas with more asphalt and
fewer trees.
She also noted that mature
trees do far more than saplings
to absorb storm-water runoff
and reduce flooding during
heavy storms, which are ex-
pected to increase with climate
change.
“No amount of federal fund-
ing is worth exacerbating deep,
structural injustices,” she said.
“It’s short-sighted, foolish, and
an egregious injustice to tell
these communities that they
have to wait decades for new
trees to replace the existing
canopy.”

anne Conway, a senior adviser
to President Trump and one of
his longest-serving aides, is
leaving the White House at the
end of the month.
Conway, whose title is coun-
selor to the president, was
Trump’s third campaign man-
ager in 2016 and the first wom-
an to manage a presidential
campaign to victory. She joined
the White House at the start of
Trump’s term and has been one
of his most visible and vocal de-
fenders.
Conway informed Trump of
her decision Sunday night in
the Oval Office.
Her husband, George Con-
way, a conservative lawyer and
outspoken critic of the presi-
dent, is stepping back from his
role on the Lincoln Project, an
outside group of Republicans
devoted to defeating Trump in
November. He will also take a
hiatus from Twitter, the venue
he has often used to attack the
president.
In a statement , Conway
called her time in the Trump
administration ‘‘heady’’ and
‘‘humbling,’’ and said she and
George were making the deci-
sion based on what they think
is best for their four children.
‘‘We disagree about plenty,’’
she wrote of herself and her
husband, ‘‘but we are united on
what matters most: the kids.
Our four children are teens and
‘tweens starting a new academ-
ic year in the middle school and
high school that will be con-
ducted remotely from home for
a least a few months. As mil-
lions of parents nationwide
know, kids ‘doing school from
home’ requires a level of atten-
tion and vigilance that is as un-
usual as these times.’’
Conway continued: ‘‘This is

director of its Center on Race,
Inequality, and the Law.
“Their intention is to get rid
of affirmative action complete-
ly,” Archer said. “They have
confidence in the Supreme
Court. They ’re moving full
steam ahead.”
Richard Sander, a professor
at the University of California
Los Angeles School of Law
who, along with a Chinese-
American Republican activist,
has sued the public university
system in his state for informa-
tion about how it admits stu-
dents, concurs.
“Things are moving to a cli-
max,” Sander said. “There are
five Supreme Court Justices
that have expressed skepticism
about affirmative action.”
The Justice Department ac-
cused Yale of discriminating in
its undergraduate admissions
process by favoring Black and
Latino applications at the ex-
pense of Asian Americans and
whites. The findings followed a
two-year investigation
launched by the agency after
complaints from Asian Ameri-
can groups.
Under current law, colleges
and universities can use race as
a factor, but not the determin-
ing one, in admissions. Accord-
ing to its letter to Yale, the Jus-
tice Department said the uni-
versity used race at multiple
junctures in the admissions
process. As a result, Asian
Americans and whites have on-
ly one-tenth to one-fourth the
likelihood of admission to Yale
as Black applicants with simi-
lar academic credentials, the
Justice Department alleges.
Yale must agree to stop us-
ing race in its upcoming admis-
sions cycle or submit a detailed
explanation of how it plans to
use race in a limited way, the
Justice Department said in its
letter. If Yale fails to agree to
those conditions by the end of
the month, the Justice Depart-
ment has threatened to sue the
university.
Yale president Peter Salovey accused the Justice Department of trying to impose a new
standard that is inconsistent with the law on college admissions.
Yale president Peter Salovey
has called the allegations base-
less and accused the agency of
trying to impose a new stan-
dard that is inconsistent with
the law.
“ Ya l e C o l l e g e w i l l n o t
change its admissions process,”
Salovey said in a message to
the Yale community.
Yale received almost 37,000
applications for admissions
last year and enrolls slightly
more than 1,550 freshmen.
Last year, about 12 percent of
the freshmen class were Black,
15 percent were Hispanic, 26
percent were Asian American,
and 49 percent were white.
Students can list more than
one ethnicity.
Yale, with its $30 billion en-
dowment, can afford to wage a
legal battle to defend its admis-
sions process, but less wealthy
institutions may become in-
creasingly wary of using race in
their admissions if they fear ac-
tion from the Justice Depart-
ment, Archer said.
Last year, the Texas Tech
University agreed to stop using
race in admissions for its medi-
cal students after the Depart-
ment of Education began in-
vestigating a complaint filed by
an anti-affirmative action
group.
The Justice Department “is
sending a message,” said Ange-
la Onwuachi-Willig, dean of
the Boston University School of
Law.
Opponents of affirmative
action are trying to illustrate
that race-conscious admissions
is a widespread problem, and
not just an issue at Harvard,
she said.
Students for Fair Admis-
sions, which brought the law-
suit against Harvard, has also
challenged the admissions pro-
cess at the University of North
Carolina Chapel Hill. The UNC
case is awaiting trial.
The high court is generally
reluctant to take up the same
CRAIG WARGA/BLOOMBERG FILE
issue again in a short time
span, legal experts say, and the
last affirmative action decision
is just 4 years old.
But if the Justice Depart-
ment files a lawsuit against
Yale, it offers another example
and could prompt the Supreme
Court to take up the issue more
quickly, Onwuachi-Willig said.
In 2016, the Supreme Court
upheld the use of race-con-
scious admissions, in a case
brought by Abigail Fisher, a
white student who was denied
a seat to the University of Texas
Austin.
Edward Blum, leader of Stu-
dents for Fair Admissions, who
backed Fisher in the Texas case
and is suing Harvard, applaud-
ed the Justice Department’s let-
ter to Yale.
“We hope that the Depart-
ment will file a lawsuit against
Yale to enforce our nation’s civ-
il rights laws in the event the
school fails to comply with the
terms DOJ has set forth,’’ Blum
said in a statement. “Yale must
be taken to court.”
Students for Fair Admis-
sions has also filed a Freedom
of Information Act request
with the Justice Department
seeking the Yale admissions da-
ta and documents. Blum has
suggested that the information
could be similar to what the
group received in the Harvard
case.
Blum and his organization
had alleged that Harvard’s ad-
missions policies were unfair
to Asian-American students,
who performed well academi-
cally and participated in many
extracurricular activities but
received poor personal scores
from the university’s screeners.
The case relied heavily on sta-
tistics and analysis of Har-
vard’s admissions data.
But US District Court Judge
Allison Burroughs was uncon-
vinced and ruled that Har-
vard’s admissions process was
“legally sound.”
The First Circuit Court of
Appeals will hear oral argu-
ments in that case on Sept. 16.
Harvard declined to com-
ment on whether the Justice
Department’s move against
Yale would have any impact on
its case.
The Justice Department de-
clined to comment further
about its findings against Yale.
Sander, the UCLA professor,
said that the Justice Depart-
ment seems to have done a
similar statistical analysis of
Yale’s admissions data that Stu-
dents for Fair Admissions did
in the Harvard case. That could
help the group if the federal
government is following its
lead, Sander said.
“I don’t think it’s transfor-
mative, but it’s helpful,” Sander
said. “It’s another stick in the
pile, it adds a little bit of weight
to the argument.”

drama, more mama.’’
Conway’s high school-age
daughter had drawn attention
for tweets about her parents
and politics.
On Sunday, she tweeted that
social media was ‘‘becoming
way too much’’ so she had de-
cided to take ‘‘a mental health
break.’’
‘‘See y’all soon,’’ she wrote.
‘‘Thank you for the love and
support. No hate to my parents
please.’’
Conway’s announcement
comes on the eve of the Repub-
lican National Convention as
Trump seeks to gain momen-
tum for a tough reelection bat-
tle ahead.
She has been intimately in-
volved in the convention plan-
ning, and will be speaking
Wednesday night about the
theme of ‘‘everyday heroes.’’
Conway outlasted many of
her colleagues from the cam-
paign and the White House to
become one of Trump’s longest-
serving aides, proving herself to
be a survivor in a workplace
that has had historic levels of
turnover.
The Conways became an ob-
ject of fascination as George
Conway ramped up his criti-
cism of the president in 2018
while Kellyanne Conway re-
mained a top adviser to Trump.
George Conway has written,
among other things, that
Trump is not mentally fit to be
president.
The president has voiced an-
ger at times about George Con-
ways comments, calling him a
‘‘a stone cold LOSER & hus-
band from hell.’’
Before making her decision,
Conway had been in discussions
with the Trump campaign. Se-
nior advisers on the campaign
had suggested she take a leave of
absence from the White House
to join Trump’s reelection effort,
and anticipated a significant
role in which she would travel to
two states a day between now
and the election. But Conway
said she could not envision her-
self spending so much time
away from her family.

CAMPAIGN 2020
Markey turns to old, new tools to reach young voters
uMARKEY
Continued from Page A1
dy III. Those Air Revolutions — con-
spicuously weathered, but perenni-
ally hip — are a focal point of the 74-
year-old’s campaign.
Some might call them a gim-
mick, a way to pander to a younger
generation, but Markey credits
them with maintaining his 90 per-
cent accuracy from the free-throw
line. Whatever the reason, the kicks
made their public debut in an April
2 tweet just as the pandemic forced
almost all aspects of life online, and
Markey and Kennedy to reimagine
their dueling campaigns.
While April polls showed Mar-
key just a few points behind Ken-
nedy, who once held a double-digit
lead, the senator of six-and-a-half
years remained alarmingly unde-
fined in the minds of many voters.
Nearly 28 percent of likely voters
were unsure if Markey deserved to
be reelected, according to a Suffolk
University/Boston Globe/WBZ-TV
poll. The uncertainty left a void the
campaign needed to fill if the in-
cumbent stood a chance against a
Kennedy viewed as a rising star in
a Democratic Party torn between
its leftist and centrist camps.
Five months later, with the pri-
mary eight days away, many argue
Markey has risen to the challenge
and used a digital strategy to portray
himself as a perennial rabble-rouser
rather than a sleepy politico content
with the status quo. Markey’s calling
card of late is the Green New Deal,
but in the past, he’s led on less flashy
issues such as net neutrality and
Wall Street reform.
Detractors point to Markey’s
past votes in support of the Iraq
War and the 1994 crime bill, which
most elected Democrats now de-
nounce for increasing mass incar-
ceration, to poke holes in his pro-
gressive image.
“Markey went from tired old in-
cumbent to progressive, insurgent
firebrand in about three months,
in part due to Twitter. He stole
Kennedy’s change message,” said
Mark Horan, a political consultant
who worked with Markey on previ-
ous campaigns. “He should have
done it earlier but it worked.”
Recent polls now show the race
to be neck and neck with tensions

locked in a tight and increasingly
contentious race.
And as he seeks to convince vot-
ers that he’s much more than the
entitled, ambitious rich kid his
critics claim, the famous name
that helped carry him to easy victo-
ries in each of his four runs for
Congress can seem, at times, less a
boon than a burden.
When Kennedy announced his
intention last summer to run,
some wondered whether the in-
cumbent might simply ride off into
the sunset rather than endure
what seemed an inevitable loss, so
strong was the Kennedy brand.
But public polling, which once
showed Kennedy holding a sizable
lead, now has Markey with a slight
edge with just a week remaining in
a race that has seen a number of
unforeseen developments: shifting
political winds, national protests
on police brutality and race, and
an opponent who has sought to
weaponize the Kennedy surname.
While the ongoing pandemic
has represented a significant dis-
ruption to both campaigns, it’s fair
to wonder whether the effects have
been felt more acutely by Kennedy,
who, lacking his opponent’s de-
cades of policy chops, relies heavily
on his ability to connect in-person
with would-be voters.
For much of the campaign,
Kennedy has been relegated to the
attic office of his Newton home, a
guy who thrives on handshakes
and fist bumps forced to settle for
Zoom events and Facebook Q-
and-A’s. Even his smile — a politi-
cal asset if ever there was one —
has been largely AWOL during the
campaign, hidden behind the in-
dignity of a face mask.
“I think his youthful energy was
taken off-stage because of the pan-
demic,” said Mark Horan, a Demo-
cratic strategist not working on ei-
ther campaign but who has
worked for Markey in the past.
between Kennedy and Markey
mounting by the day, even while
their stances on issues remain in
lockstep. ProgressivePunch, a non-
partisan group that rates members
of Congress, gives Markey a pro-
gressive voting score of 99 percent
and Kennedy 97 percent.
The so-called Markeyverse on-
line is anchored by a constellation
of fan accounts, so dogged that
they influenced a group of Broad-
way stars to back out of a virtual
Kennedy fund-raiser in July, forc-
ing its cancellation. In April, Mar-
key became one of few politicians
to embrace TikTok, the controver-
sial video-sharing platform that’s
bewitched teenagers worldwide.
One post finds him shooting bas-
kets in baggy khakis. A mellow
beat paired with Markey talking
about climate change plays in the
background.
“Our use of this platform is part
of our strategy to organize every-
where and to tap into online grass-
roots enthusiasm to engage with
and turn out young voters during
this election,” said Paul Bologna,
the campaign’s digital director.
With the worst of the pandemic
tamed in Massachusetts, Markey,
who at 74 qualifies as high risk, is
back on the trail. Always masked,
Markey relies exclusively on outdoor
gatherings and elbow bumps. He
disinfects the podium microphone
with religious fervor, often using the
time to take digs at the president,
who has publicly downplayed the
severity of the virus since its start. At
least a foot of space lingers between
him and his supporters, many of
them twentysomethings, when pos-
ing for photos.
“Let me see those shoes!” yelled
a young man in Lowell. Markey
shimmied his sneakers into the
frame for a selfie.
The politician’s popularity with
younger voters stems largely from
his partnership with firebrand
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-
Cortez of New York, who unseated
a 10-term incumbent to become
the youngest woman to serve in
Congress. In February 2019, the
duo introduced the Green New
Deal, an ambitious plan to lower
CO2 emissions and expand green
jobs, but the resolution was swiftly
“Markey doesn’t lack for energy,
believe me. But there’s something
about seeing a young Kennedy in
action that has a flavor to it.”
In recent weeks, as the pandem-
ic has loosened its grip on the state,
Kennedy has scrambled to make up
for lost time. He has returned to the
campaign trail with a flurry, and in
last week’s 24-hour marathon ses-
sion, which included 19 stops
across the state, his noticeably lax
adherence to social distancing
guidelines was perhaps a byproduct
of his time spent in isolation.
He fist-bumped. He shook
hands. He bear-hugged.
To be sure, a Kennedy cam-
paign appearance is an event.
There are selfie requests and
“Hey Joe!”s. People want to talk to
him about vaccines, about his fa-
mous great-uncle, about the time
they met him way back when.
When he isn’t looking, they sneak
cellphone photos.
At the Double Down Cafe in
Taunton, where Kennedy was set
to make an appearance Thursday,
a waitress named Pam Mealey
waited nervously, peeking through
the front window between ferrying
cups of coffee and plates of eggs to
customers. “I wasn’t supposed to
work today,” she admitted. “But I
wanted to come in and meet him.”
Grandmothers — many of
whom remember casting ballots
for his famous relatives decades
ago — love him. When Springfield
City Councilor Malo Brown recent-
ly brought Kennedy to the home of
his own grandmother, the 92-year-
old woman tried to set the young
politician up with her daughter.
Kennedy — who married Lau-
ren Birchfield Kennedy in 2012 af-
ter the two met in a Harvard Law
School class taught by Elizabeth
Warren — politely declined. Still,
said Brown, his grandmother
called everyone she knew after-
ward to brag that “a Kennedy
came to visit her.”
But even as his family name
propels his campaign forward, the
election has raised questions about
whether it holds the unequivocal
sway it once did.
As recently as two decades ago, it
would’ve been unthinkable to take
shots at the Kennedy family legacy
T h e B o s t o n
defeated in the Senate after Repub-
licans rushed it to the floor. The al-
liance between Markey and Oca-
sio-Cortez granted Markey admis-
sion into the emergent progressive
wing of the party, although his
campaign argues that he’s always
served outside the mainstream,
touting his past work to curb car-
bon emissions and enact a single-
payer health care program.
Minutes before Markey’s first
event Thursday, news broke that
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had
endorsed Kennedy, despite previ-
ously stating she opposed all Dem-
ocratic primary challengers. She
told The Washington Post that she
felt it “imperative” after Markey’s
jabs at the Kennedys. When Globe
columnist Joan Vennochi found
Markey in the driveway of his mod-
est Malden home in June, he de-
clared, “ Welcome to my com-
pound,” a dig at the sprawling Ken-
nedy residence in Hyannis Port. In
a new ad, Markey lands a zinger, a
twist on the famous JFK line:
“With all due respect, it’s time to
start asking what your country can
do for you.”
Across Twitter, progressives —
from congressional candidates to
“Queer Eye” star Jonathan Van Ness
— largely welcomed the snub by
Pelosi, labeling her support for Ken-
nedy another example of stubborn
in a Massachusetts political race.
But Markey’s increasingly pointed
mentions of the family in recent
weeks — headlined by a viral video
earlier this month riffing on a fa-
mous speech by JFK — have coin-
cided with his momentum surge.
Markey, who has garnered the
endorsement of Representative
and Twitter powerhouse Alexan-
dria Ocasio-Cortez while becoming
something of a social media mae-
stro in his own right, has also cap-
tured the support of a vocal group
of progressives not old enough to
remember the past accomplish-
ments of the Kennedy clan.
“You’re seeing sort of the inevi-
table diminution of the halo ef-
fect,” said Barney Frank, who be-
fore retiring held the House seat
Kennedy now occupies and who
has been critical of his decision to
challenge Markey. “It hasn’t fallen
off a cliff; it’s still a factor.
“ B u t i t ’s n o t a n a u t o m at i c
gimme.”
The tenuousness of the race
was evident last Thursday, when
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
handed Kennedy his biggest en-
dorsement to date, crediting him
with helping Democrats retake the
House in 2018.
Yet it quickly generated progres-
sive backlash from Markey backers
such as Suffolk District Attorney Ra-
G l o b e
allegiance to the establishment.
Markey himself has been more
muted.
“Pelosi is a tremendously effec-
tive leader who has shattered glass
ceilings throughout her career. I
am privileged to work alongside
the speaker and any candidate
would be proud to have her en-
dorsement,” he said repeatedly.
His tone livened when discuss-
ing the support of Cori Bush, who
recently ousted a longtime con-
gressman in the Democratic pri-
mary to end a St. Louis political dy-
nasty. Bush, once homeless and
thrust into politics after leading
protests in Ferguson, endorsed
Markey hours after Pelosi’s an-
nouncement, joining Ocasio-Cor-
tez and Senator Cory Booker of
New Jersey.
“I’m running a campaign that is
focusing on justice, and I am part-
nering with a new generation of ac-
tivists who are entering the political
process in order to change the coun-
try for the better. It can be intergen-
erational,” Markey told the Globe.
“And I am the only candidate in this
race that is calling for a new genera-
tion of leaders to make the real
change that our country needs.”
It’s unclear to what extent Mar-
key’s progressive appeal is a result
of his legislative record or because,
to young progressives, the Kenne-
chael Rollins (”a privileged, legacy
candidate“ she called Kennedy),
and Representative Ro Khanna, a
rising California Democrat who pre-
dicted that the endorsement would
ultimately backfire.
For Kennedy, the challenge of
the campaign has no doubt taken a
toll. As the campaign has pro-
gressed, he has stopped checking
Twitter, he said, where Markey
supporters have been quick to
launch offensives. And asked dur-
ing last week’s final debate when
he’d last cried, Kennedy replied,
“Yesterday.”
Asked this week by the Globe to
elaborate, Kennedy said he’d been
disappointed by his opponent’s ef-
forts to detract from his family’s
legacy. “ Talking about family
members that I am obviously ex-
tremely proud of [and] that I think
gave a lot to this country, and
somehow trying to either deni-
grate their commitment or appro-
priate their work, was upsetting,”
he said. An aide later clarified that
Kennedy had choked up while
speaking about his family during
an Aug. 17 press conference.
But if anything, Kennedy said,
the events of the past few months
— the pandemic, the social justice
protests — have only solidified his
decision to run.
“Look, it was a risk for me, yes,”

NEW YORK TIMES
Democrats set a high bar
last week for the pandemic-era
political convention, dispens-

vor of a virtual pageant that en-
compassed passionate speech-

roll call vote, vignettes from an
Oscar-winning filmmaker, and
a low-fi fireworks display above
a parking lot. A few hiccups
aside, even jaded network exec-

the timing allowed him to

billed it as a “major’’ develop-
ment and used the White
House briefing room to make
the announcement.
Trump also displayed some
rare discipline in the evening
news conference, sticking to
his talking points, deferring to
the head of the FDA, Hahn,
and only taking three ques-
tions from reporters.
The White House had be-
come agitated with the pace
of the plasma approval. The
accusations of an FDA slow-
down, which were presented
without evidence, were the
latest assault from Trump’s
team on what he refers to as
the “deep state” bureaucracy.
White House chief of staff
Mark Meadows did not deal
in specifics but said that
“we’ve looked at a number of
people that are not being as
diligent as they should be in
terms of getting to the bot-
tom of it.”
“ This president is about
cutting red tape,” Meadows
said in an interview Sunday on
“This Week’’ on ABC. “He had
to make sure that they felt the
heat. If they don’t see the light,
they need to feel the heat be-
cause the American people are
suffering.”
During Sunday’s 18-minute
press conference, Trump said
he thought there had been a

people at the FDA “that can

“The FDA commissioner
basically allowed the president

the production put on for the
Democratic nominee, former
vice president Joe Biden, while
meeting the exacting — and fre-
quently shifting — standards of
President Trump.
Two producers of “The Ap-
prentice,” where Trump rose to
TV stardom, are involved in the
planning. Sadoux Kim, a long-
time deputy to “Apprentice”
creator Mark Burnett, is a lead
consultant on the production.
Kim once served as a Miss Uni-
verse judge when Trump owned
the pageant. Chuck LaBella, a
former NBC entertainment ex-
ecutive who helped produce
“The Comedy Central Roast of
Donald Trump,” is also on the
payroll.
Party officials say their con-
vention — during which Trump
is expected to speak every night
in the 10 p.m. hour — will ulti-
mately surpass the Democrats’

President Trump delivered news of the FDA’s emergency
authorization at the White House on Sunday.
said Eric Topol, an influential
physician and scientist and di-
rector of the Scripps Research
Translational Institute. ‘‘These
are basically just exploratory
analyses that don’t prove any-
thing. It’s just extraordinary to
declare this as a breakthrough.
. . . All this does is jeopardize
ever getting the truth.’’
The Infectious Diseases So-
ciety of America released a
statement noting that while
there are ‘‘some positive sig-
nals that convalescent plasma
can be helpful in treating indi-
viduals with COVID-19,’’ the
society believed its benefits
needed to be demonstrated in
clinical trials that randomly
assign patients to receive ei-
ther plasma or a placebo be-
fore it is authorized for wider
use.
At the briefing, Hahn
struck a more measured tone
than Trump, stating that con-
valescent therapy, in which the
yellowish liquid portion of
blood is taken from recovered
patients and transfused into ill
people, had met the standard
for emergency authorization —
a lower standard than full ap-
proval — and showed ‘‘promis-
ing efficacy.’’
But Azar said this was a
‘‘major advance’’ and the kind
of result pharmaceutical com-
pany executives dream about,
even though the authorization
states that more studies are
needed, including medical tri-
als that test the treatment
against a placebo.
The authorization specifi-
cally says plasma ‘‘should not
be considered a new standard
of care for the treatment of pa-
tients.’’
A notice to patients who re-
ceive the treatment does not
mention that it could help
them survive the infection, but
says they ‘‘may improve faster
if they receive plasma.’’
Hahn stressed his agency’s
independence on a call with
reporters Sunday, saying ‘‘the

Evaluation and Research]

Hospitals need a stronger prescription

for keeping the public’s trust
D
r. elizabeth nabel, the president of brigham
and Women’s hospital, broke no hospital rules
when she took a seat on the board of moderna,
a cambridge biotech firm. still, the fact that
she held the position — from which she recent-
ly resigned — has bred mistrust and outrage from patients
and her own employees. that’s why the rules that allowed it
need to be changed.
“a physician leader is different than another leader,” said
dr. charles binkley, director of bioethics at the markkula
center for applied ethics at santa clara university. “a hospi-
tal leader has different moral obligations.” it’s impossible to
meet those moral obligations, said binkley, when you are also
a board member “with a fiduciary responsibility to propel the
profits of a company” — not to mention the opportunity to
enrich yourself from those company profits.
nabel joined the moderna board in 2015, and her position
was approved in accordance with hospital policies. more
safeguards were put in place after the hospital undertook a
major role in a nationwide study of an experimental vaccine
for covid-19, which is being developed by moderna and the

nabel sold about $8.5 million worth of stock in moderna. af-
ter the globe asked hospital officials whether nabel’s position
at the biotech firm conflicted with her hospital’s work in the
clinical trial, she resigned from the moderna board. it’s worth
noting that the fact that she was on the moderna board
doesn’t mean she did anything unethical regarding the vac-
cine trial, but her resignation signals that the appearance
posed enough of a problem in the court of public opinion.

general brigham, reduced or froze salaries and suspended
contributions to retirement benefits.
relationships like this between hospital executives and
biotech and pharmaceutical firms are common. in 2014, the
Journal of the american medical association published a pa-
per that found that about 40 percent of pharmaceutical com-
pany boards of directors had at least one member who held a
leadership position at an academic medical center. the pa-
per, co-authored by dr. Walid f. gellad, director of the center
for pharmaceutical policy and prescribing at the university of
pittsburgh, explored the potential for conflict of interest
problems, but did not reach a conclusion about any actual
conflicts.
in 2018, the risks became more than hypothetical when
the new york times, in collaboration with propublica, re-
ported that top hospital executives at memorial sloan-Ketter-
ing cancer center in new york profited from relationships
with drug companies, outside research ventures, and corpo-
rate board memberships. the disclosures led to the resigna-
tion of the hospital’s ceo from the corporate board of merck
& co. and drew “new attention to the opaque web of connec-
tions between pharmaceutical companies and nonprofit
health systems at the highest levels of power,” reported biop-
harmadive.com, an online industry newsletter. in the embar-
rassing aftermath, memorial sloan-Kettering announced it
would bar its top executives from serving on corporate
boards of drug and health care companies.
arguments in favor of allowing these relationships include
the contention that it helps hospitals to recruit the best talent
if executives are also allowed to accept lucrative board posi-
tions. there are also benefits to the institution from such col-
laboration. hospital leaders can learn about the latest re-
search in a given field and help shape the direction taken by
these companies. yet the potential risk is considerable in
terms of maintaining the public’s and colleagues’ trust. for
example, for those working on a clinical study at a hospital,
people can raise the question: how much does knowing of
their boss’s financial stake in an outcome influence their
thinking? for employees, said binkley, “What people see is a
physician leader making a lot of money ... while freezing and
cutting salaries at their institution. meanwhile, a patient may
rightly wonder, ‘is what i’m being prescribed, treated with,
benefiting me or the person prescribing it?‘”
hospitals are special places, and their leaders have special
obligations. one of those obligations is absolute, undiluted
loyalty to the community they lead and serve. that includes
patients and their families, along with the entire universe of
hospital employees — from doctors, nurses and nurse’s aides
to cleaning crews and cafeteria staff.
allowing executives to serve on corporate or biotech
boards while the hospitals they lead are conducting research
on their products could undermine that loyalty and compro-
mise trust in the hospital itself. it’s a practice that hospitals
should rein in for their own sake.

The case for a foreign-born president

D
espite his racism, his incompe-
tence, his soliciting of foreign in-
telligence to boost his presidential
bids, what may be multiple at-
tempts at obstructing justice, and
his undermining of american democracy, don-
ald trump is still eligible to serve as president of
the united states. and that’s because, like his
running mate and their democratic opponents
in the race for the White house, he meets the
two main constitutional requirements to serve
as commander-in-chief: he’s over 35 and a natu-
ral-born citizen.
While setting a minimum-age for the presi-
dent seems somewhat arbitrary, the requirement
to be a natural-born citizen is rooted in a xeno-
phobic fear of recent immigrants as potentially
disloyal americans who might be foreign agents.
it creates a tiered citizenship both legally and
psychologically:

born” clause, the consti- The ‘natural-born’ clause

who are americans by
choice. as a result, natu-
ralized citizens are made to feel — whether con-
sciously or not — that they are not actually every
bit as american as their natural-born counter-
parts, despite what they’re told when they swear
their allegiance to the united states.
“We’re told various stories about our democ-
racy,” randall Kennedy, a professor at harvard
law school, said in an interview. “We’re told all
citizens are the same. Well, all citizens are not
the same because the united states constitution
makes a distinction.” that’s why, as Kennedy has
argued, the constitution should be amended to
allow naturalized citizens to serve as president.
the origins of the “natural-born” clause can
be traced back to a letter that John Jay, who
would later serve as the first chief justice of the
supreme court, sent to george Washington.
“permit me to hint,” Jay wrote, “whether it would
not be wise & seasonable to provide a strong
check to the admission of foreigners into the ad-
ministration of our national government, and to
declare expressly that the command in chief of
the american army shall not be given to, nor de-
volved on, any but a natural born citizen.” Jay
feared that naturalized citizens might serve for-
eign interests in their pursuit of the presidency.
(incidentally, that’s the charge that the biparti-
san, republican-led senate intelligence commit-
tee recently made against the trump campaign.)
“What matters to me is that we’re not in the
18th century,” Kennedy said. “We’re in the 21st
century and there are millions and millions of
people who were born abroad, who have become
american citizens, and are willing to give their
all to the betterment of this country.” indeed, for-
eign-born americans have served their country
in all the ways they can: as activists and service
members; as governors; as members of con-
gress; as supreme court justices; and as secre-
taries of state, or america’s ‘chief ambassadors.‘”
in recent years, the “nat-
ural-born” clause has been
used as a weapon to ad-

Business leaders need to follow words
with actions and support workers
By Beth Clymer
O
ne year ago, the business
roundtable, an influential
lobbying group of over 200
ceos — from such compa-
nies as american express to
the coca-cola company to goldman sachs
— released a statement on the “purpose of
a corporation” articulating that stakehold-
ers should matter as much as shareholders:
“americans deserve an economy that al-
lows each person to succeed through hard
work and creativity and to lead a life of
meaning and dignity ... While each of our
individual companies serves its own corpo-
rate purpose, we share a fundamental com-
mitment to all of our stakeholders.”
this sounded like a bold commitment
at the time and embodied the kind of cor-
porate leadership we need to support
america’s workers. that day, the s&P 500
was trading at $3,000 and unemployment
was 3.7 percent.
Millions are living with economic,
health, shelter, food, and child care insecu-
rity. that doesn’t sound like a life of mean-
ing and dignity for these stakeholders.
Many schools are reopening primarily with
distance learning, sending working fami-
lies scrambling for scant child care. the
$600 additional unemployment assistance
was allowed to expire in July without con-
gressional action. and, in a one-two punch
to the solar plexus for working families, the
federal eviction moratorium expires next
week, putting 40 percent of us renters at
risk of eviction. as of June 30, almost 16
percent of federal Housing administration
loans, mortgages generally extended to
lower-income borrowers, were delinquent.
Many of america’s essential workers face
embarrassingly unkind treatment in their
day-to-day work life.
Wu’s obstructionism is a losing strategy
N
aked political ambition is
rarely a pretty sight. it’s
worse when it masquerades
as progressive politics.
but it’s really ugly when
it victimizes some poor guy in eastie who
just wants to build a mother-in-law apart-
ment in his basement or a couple who
needs the income from the two-family
they hope to create from their single-fami-
ly house in charlestown.
Way to go, boston city councilor Mi-
chelle Wu. that won’t win you votes if you
decide to run for mayor — holding up
hundreds of small and mid-size construc-
tion projects at the city’s Zoning board of
appeals by digging in your heels over
Mayor Martin Walsh’s nominees to the
board.
“this is not about the individuals,” Wu
insisted at Wednesday’s city council
meeting. “these are all extremely dedicat-
ed boston residents, hard-working people
who would add a lot to the Zba. this is
about the larger structural issues in this
moment we are in.”
nevertheless Wu led an effort — with
most of her so-called progressive col-
leagues following in lock-step — to reject
those “extremely dedicated” individuals
on a 7-5 council vote.
no doubt the hundreds of bostonians
waiting months for small construction
projects that will make their lives a little
easier — like a roof deck or an income-
producing apartment — will be ever-so
grateful for Wu’s focus on those “larger”
issues. and for a rising political star, is
there anything “larger” than a possible
mayoral run against Walsh?
the problem now being exacerbated by
Wu is that the already dysfunctional —

pandemic. the board essentially shut
down for four months when it couldn’t

it resumed remote meetings with a
shorter agenda in July and is trying to
work its way through the backlog. Howev-
er, it’s still down at least four appointees
from what ought to be a full complement
of seven members and seven alternates.
it takes five for the board to have a

this reassure employees that they don’t

Boards need to get involved. a Harvard
law school study recently found that only
2 percent of business roundtable compa-
nies interviewed had their board approve
the decision to adopt their new statement
of purpose. this suggests perhaps this
statement had more to do with public rela-
tions than an actual commitment to action.
to change this, devote one hour at your
next board meeting to talk about compen-
sation, benefits, and working conditions
for hourly workers, and secure your board’s
support and guidance on plans to prioritize
them in concrete ways.
these steps won’t be easy, and they do
take time and money. but that doesn’t
mean it will hurt companies’ bottom lines
and share prices. When consumers see a
company doing the right thing, they re-
ward it with loyalty. Jobcase is poised to
publicize these actions to our tens of mil-
lions of members who are not only your
employees but also your customers.

til early october because of the backlog.
Meanwhile the candidates rejected at
the last meeting have been held up by Wu
for months. first because she said she
wanted more information about the scan-
dal that sent one city Hall aide to federal
prison for taking bribes from a developer
with business before the Zba. now Wu
says she wants new appointees to have ex-
pertise in climate change, environmental
protection, and urban planning — some-
thing called for in a home rule petition ap-
proved by the council and Walsh.
there’s no dispute about the merits of
the case for adding such expertise — ex-
cept for the one Wu is trying desperately
to create. but until that home rule petition
passes on beacon Hill — which could take
months or may not happen at all — Walsh
is obliged to abide by existing law. the
now rejected nominees, recommended by
the boston society of architects, the
greater boston real estate board, and the
building trades employers association,

While Wu plays politics with these ap-
pointments, everything from driveway
curb cuts to installing garage doors to that
elderly housing complex and its medical
clinic, await action. all this comes at a
time when construction workers are look-

ness.
if Wu really wants to think big, she
ought to focus on the antiquated zoning

into this clogged pipeline.

Battle goes on in
hard-fought Senate race
Kennedy has forced Markey to be
accountable to his constituents
activists like me, not wanting another scott brown type
of situation, worked hard for edward Markey in the 2013
special election for senate. When Markey ran for his first
full term as our junior senator in 2014, he did not active-
ly campaign for his reelection. i traveled around the
commonwealth myself during that time, and i never saw
him.
ironically, i first met Joe Kennedy iii that year, at the
university of Massachusetts amherst, while he cam-
paigned for the slew of democrats on the ballot that in-
cluded senator Markey. as an elected official myself, that
kind of help matters and can make a difference. How
many days did Markey spend in Massachusetts that year?
i advocate for people to run for office, especially wom-
en, and i always tell them to ask people for their vote and
never take it for granted.
Markey is not entitled to another term unchallenged.
Win or lose, Kennedy’s run has made him accountable
for his residency and his record.
i expect my senator to spend more than 77 nights in
the state he represents. in fact, i demand it. you should
too.

The writer is the Hampshire County register of deeds,
has endorsed Representative Kennedy for Senate, and is
on the candidate’s housing policy committee.
There was no need for Kennedy
to run against Markey
given that the us senate is controlled by the republican
Party, many of us believe it is necessary to elect demo-
crats this fall to prevent republicans from sabotaging
needed changes in agenda and policy. luckily, Massachu-
setts has two progressive democratic senators: elizabeth
Warren and edward Markey. We had no need for repre-
sentative Joe Kennedy iii to run against Markey this
year.
Markey and Warren are both in their 70s. Kennedy
could have waited. Had he done so, millions of dollars
and substantial energy could have otherwise been made
available to democratic candidates in closely contested
senatorial races, such as sara gideon in Maine, Mark Kel-
ly in arizona, steve bullock in Montana, John Hicken-
looper in colorado, and theresa greenfield in iowa. by
rushing in to challenge Markey, Kennedy has pitted his
own self-interest against the best interests of his party,
his state, and the nation.

Without term limits, too many
elected posts become lifetime jobs
after many years of watching how our government runs,
i have come to favor term limits for our representatives
and senators. However, since such a change to our sys-
tem is not in the interest of members of congress, this is
wishful thinking.
as it is now, a person could make being an elected
lawmaker a lifetime career. for instance, edward Markey
has served for 44 years, between the House and senate.
Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell has been in the senate
for 35 years. speaker nancy Pelosi has served in the
House for 33 years. chuck grassley has served in the
House and senate for 45 years. this is just a small sam-
ple.
Meanwhile, many long-serving politicians build up
contacts in the private sector to ensure that in the event
they may not be reelected, they have a plan in place to
lobby for special interests.
i concede that there are many pros and cons to term
limits, as there are to any issue. surely with term limits
we would lose some good people, and i would hope they
would consider putting their expertise to the service of
the country in other ways. but it seems to me that what
we have right now is not working to the benefit of the
people.
this country needs to pass the torch of the workings
of government to the generation that will live with the
consequences, good or bad.
i suggest that the only way term limits will really take
place is by the people voting long-term politicians out of
office.

one ringing endorsement
in response to victoria Mcgrane’s article “are Kennedy’s
efforts to define Markey too late?” (Metro, aug. 20), i can
only add what my mother said when my sister and i visit-
ed her the other day at her nursing home, where staff
had just made the rounds with absentee ballots.
although my mother, evelyn davidson, is sight-im-
paired and over 90 years old, she still follows the news
closely on tv and has always been politically informed.
she retains a keen understanding of issues that matter
and of who is best equipped to handle them for her life-
long home state.
i asked her who she had voted for in the senate pri-
mary, and despite being a longtime fan of the Kennedy
family, her answer was quick and sharp. “of course i vot-
ed for ed Markey,” she exclaimed. “shouldn’t everybody?”
then she returned to talking about the bruins.

Education Secretary Jeff Riley main-
tains that there is an educational benefit
to students in seeing teachers in regular
school settings, even if that’s through the Thomas Farragher
magic of Zoom.
But teachers aren’t buying it, and it
isn’t hard to understand why. Lots of
school buildings in this state are old, di-
lapidated, and poorly ventilated. Sure,
there’s nothing new about that. But the
coronavirus has added a huge element
of risk that understandably leaves teach-
ers wary, if not downright terrified.
I don’t think many people would try
to convince you that last spring’s experi-
ment with remote learning was a rous-
ing success. It wasn’t. But this doesn’t
feel like the right way to fix the problem.
If the appearance of being in school is
so important, figure out how to let every
teacher use a picture of her classroom as
a virtual background and call it a day.
The proposal was denounced by
teachers’ unions, which will ultimately
hold great sway over working condi-
tions.
“The safety issues that are leading a
growing number of districts to start the
year remotely may include lack of ade-
quate ventilation, lack of personal pro-
tective equipment and training on how
to use it, lack of frequent testing and
contact tracing, high rates of community
transmission, or all of the above,” said
Merrie Najimy, the president of the Mas-
sachusetts Teachers’ Association, in a
statement. “This move to expose both
students and staff must be reversed.”
That was typical of the reaction of
teachers.

Letter carriers rally for US Postal Service in Cambridge
By Gal Tziperman Lotan
GLOBE STAFF
CAMBRIDGE — Letter car-
rier Bob Tremarche, a 38-year
veteran of the US Postal Ser-
vice, said he’s recently found
himself trying to reassure peo-
ple on his route through East
Cambridge.
They’ve been worried, he
said. Will their mail-in ballots
get to the city on time? Will
their medication be delivered
quickly?
And amid a national con-
versation about the postal ser-
vice, Tremarche said he and
other letter carriers have their
own concerns about the fund-
ing and support of their agen-
cy. So on Sunday morning, a
f e w d o z e n l e tt e r c a r r i e r s ,
union officials, and supporters
stood in front of the ornate
Post Office building near Cen-
tral Square in Cambridge to
rally for postal workers.
“We thought we need our
voices to be heard,” Tremarche
said. “We appreciate all the
protests and rallies that have
gone on around the country.
But most of us here are postal
employees who are working
here in Cambridge, and
around the Boston area. We’re
here to rally for the Postal Ser-
vice, and for us.”
The US Postal Service, tra-
ditionally an apolitical institu-
tion, has been swept into a
partisan fight since more
Americans have considered
voting by mail because of the
coronavirus pandemic.

The contenders have been
campaigning under extraordi-
nary circumstances, with the
coronavirus hampering their
ability to speak to large groups
of supporters or even meet vot-
ers door-to-door. On Sunday,
while the sun was shining, they
headed for what’s left of the
campaign trail.
“We’re doing outdoors, in
parks and public spaces. We’re
not knocking on people’s doors
at this stage,” said one of the
candidates, Linos, who praised
the efforts to engage voters
with early voting and mail-in
ballots.
“It extends the period for
voting, but from a public health
perspective, it makes sense,”
she said.
Still, candidates were dis-
mayed by the uncertainties
raised about the US Postal Ser-
vice’s delivery of mail-in elec-
tion ballots. Secretary of State
William Galvin has encouraged
voters to hand-deliver their bal-
lots to early voting sites, ballot
drop boxes, and local election
offices, rather than rely on the
US Postal Service, which has
suffered delays under cost-cut-
ting measures implemented by
President Trump’s new post-
master general. Currently, vot-
ers are required to get their pri-
mar y ballots to their local
clerks by the close of the polls
at 8 p.m. on Sept. 1.
“I think we’re all disappoint-
ed to hear Galvin say actually if
you want your vote truly to be
counted by mail, you actually
should be delivering it,” said Si-
gel. “It really goes against the
whole idea of a mail-in ballot.”
Grossman has sued the state
to ensure that all vote-by-mail
ballots postmarked by the pri-
mary election day are counted
— even if they arrive up to 10
days later. The Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial Court is ex-
pected to hear Grossman’s case
on Monday.

Secretary of State William F.

Ihssane Leckey said housing

Fern Cunningham-Terry; put Black history in public square

Continued from Page B1
the disparity of whose accom-
plishments are recognized in
public art.
“I was determined to create
figures of Black people,” she
said in a 2009 interview for “Ba-
sic Black” on WGBH-TV. “So
that was my mission.”
Her most famous work is
“Step on Board,” which shows
Tubman, the abolitionist who
had escaped slavery, with a Bi-
ble under her arm, left hand
outstretched, leading others to
freedom via the Underground
Railroad.
“Initially I thought of having
her sitting down, but the more I
read about her, I thought she
should be standing, and in mo-
tion. She should be pulling peo-
ple along,” Ms. Cunningham-
Terry said.
And while the sculpture cap-
tures movement on many levels
— physical, geographical, politi-
cal — the details convey the
emotion of stepping from cap-
tivity into freedom and a new
chapter in history.
“When you look at my work
you see faces,” Ms. Cunningham-
Terry said in a 2003 Globe inter-
view. “It’s what draws you in.”
Along with the Tubman stat-
ue in the South End, the faces
in Ms. Cunningham-Terry’s
sculptures gaze out at passersby
in Dorchester, Roxbury, and
Mattapan Square, where “Rise,”
an artwork installed in 2005
that she created with her cousin
Karen Eutemey, honors the
neighborhood’s Black and In-
digenous history.
The cousins’ separate tower-
ing statues form an “implied
gateway” across Blue Hill Ave-
nue, Edmund Barry Gaither, di-
rector of the Museum of the Na-
tional Center of Afro-American
Artists, said in 2005.
The sculptures recall “the
rising of the sun with its prom-
ise of a new day,” Gaither told a
crowd as the artworks were un-
veiled.
“It’s a piece that’s basically
for the people,” Ms. Cunning-
ham-Terry said then. “It’s de-
signed to provide them with the
past, present, and future of
Mattapan, to bring all the cul-
tures together.”
She was hesitant to hold any
of her creations as more pre-
cious than all the others.
“ With every one of her
sculptures she would say, ‘This
is like a birth,’ " recalled her
husband, the drummer Alvin
Terry.
Ms. Cunningham-Terry once
told The Patriot-Ledger, howev-
er, that “ The Sentinel” — a
bronze sculpture of a Black
woman — was her favorite.
The artwork, which is part
of the Forest Hills Cemetery
sculpture path, was inspired by
a photograph of a woman who
“looked so watchful, like the
protector of the stories, the
keeper of the knowledge, and
the eternal observer,” she told
the Globe in 2001.
In 2003, she and her hus-
band unveiled the sculpture in
the Jamaica Plain cemetery
with a program that included
music from his ensemble.
“I like her because she re-
minds me so much of myself,”
Ms. Cunningham-Terry said of
“The Sentinel” in a WGBH in-
terview.
The younger of two sisters,
Fern Cunningham was born in
Queens, N.Y., on Jan. 24, 1949.
Her father, Dr. James F. Cun-
ningham, was a physician who
early in his career treated tuber-
culosis patients and later fo-
cused on psychiatry. Her moth-
er, Margaret Barnes, founded
the Hamilton Hill Arts Center
in Schenectady, N.Y.
When Ms. Cunningham-Ter-
ry was young, her father’s work
took the family to an island in
Alaska.
“ My m o t h e r w a s a n a r t
teacher, a potter, painter, sing-
er, and guitar player,” Ms. Cun-
ningham-Terry told the Globe
in 1999. While her mother
taught art to children at the lo-
cal hospital, “I would go to
classes with her, and I guess
that was the beginning of my
loving art.”
The surroundings provided
Ms. Cunningham-Terry, with her sculpture ‘The Sentinel’, which is at Forest Hills Cemetery.
another education for her.
“As a child, I was always col-
lecting stones on the beach, not
because of color, but because of
their form and texture,” she
said. “I also felt the same about
trees. All those formations, the
way they grow, the way branch-
es pull out of the basic form,
like a hand reaching up.”
The Cunninghams moved to
Delmar, N.Y., just west of Alba-
ny, and became the communi-
ty’s first Black family – “much
to the dismay of people who
lived there,” she recalled.
While in the 10th grade, Ms.
Cunningham-Terry announced
to her family that she planned
to become a sculptor.
After graduating from high
school, she spent the summer
at Ecole des Beaux Arts at Fon-
tainebleau in France before at-
tending Boston University,
where her teachers included
the renowned sculptor John
Wilson. “I didn’t apply any-
where else because after re-
searching art schools, it became
clear that no one else was work-
ing with the figure in the way
TOM HERDE/GLOBE STAFF/FILE 2001
BU was, and I wanted the fig-
ure,” she said.
Graduating with a bache-
lor’s degree in 1971, she taught
at the Elma Lewis School of
Fine Arts for several years be-
fore moving to the Park School
in Brookline, where she was a
teacher for 33 years.
Ms. Cunningham-Terr y,
whose previous marriage ended
in divorce, raised her four chil-
dren alone.
“She was just such a selfless
mother who sacrificed so much
for us, at one point taking four
different buses to take us to
four different schools, raising
us as a single parent,” said her
daughter Shandalea Abdul-Ha-
di of Dorchester.
“She also was hilarious and
she loved songs,” Shandalea
said. “ We just sang our life
away through my childhood.
She just wanted to make sure
that we all followed our pas-
sions as well. She made sure
that we knew that and believed
that, and we still believe that.”
In addition to her husband
and daughter, Ms. Cunning-
ham-Terry leaves two sons, Ku-
masi Allen of Dorchester and
Kahlil Allen of Roxbury; anoth-
er daughter, Autumn Allen of
Norwood; a sister, Margaret
Conn of Schenectady, N.Y.; 12
grandchildren; and a great-
grandchild.
The public will gather at 2
p.m. Thursday in Davis Funeral
Home in Roxbury, with limited
numbers allowed inside at a
time. The family will hold a ser-
vice in the funeral home at 11
a.m. Friday. Ms. Cunningham-
Terry will be buried in Forest
Hills Cemetery, not far from her
sculpture “The Sentinel.”
Though often honored for
her work, “you would never
hear her speak about it. If you
wanted to talk about art with
Fern, you would probably have
to bring it up,” said her hus-
band, with whom she lived in
Hanson.
“When people marveled at
her art,” he added, “I would say,
‘It’s not her best feature. Her
best feature was that she was
just full of love.’ "
That affection for others was
visible in her art, as was her
deep spiritual connection to the
subjects of her work.
While finishing “Step on
Board,” Ms. Cunningham-Terry
said, she could feel Harriet Tub-
man’s presence.
“I keep thinking that she’s
up there watching,” she said.
“So it’s really important that I
do this right.”

Victim of horrific Natick crash still ‘fighting for her life’
By Lucas Phillips
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
A Natick woman was still
hospitalized Sunday, recovering
from traumatic injuries after a
truck allegedly hit her and her
husband as they were out for an
evening walk, then fled the
scene, according to her family
and authorities.
“[Doctors] say she’s not out
of the woods and is still fighting
for her life,” said Tony Catlin,
58, of Natick, a cousin speaking
Sunday on behalf of the family
of Kimberly Gunner.
Gunner, 51, was walking on
the sidewalk with her husband,
39-year-old Andrew Colbert,
when the truck allegedly
jumped the curb on Washing-
ton Avenue in the area of Sum-
mer Street at about 6:24 p.m.
Tuesday, according to the Mid-
dlesex district attorney’s office.
The two were identified by
family members. No charges
had been filed in connection
with the crash as of Sunday eve-
ning.
Colbert suffered broken ribs
and collarbones, according to
Gunner’s family, and was hospi-

nenbaum has long and happily
made his living.
“For all these years, I’ve been
in business and I’ve managed to
creep by,’' he told me at The
Bookstore the other day. “And
suddenly — very suddenly be-
cause I’m not a businessman —
I had a big payable due and I re-
alized: I don’t have any money
coming in.‘'

Street. That meant the place

from David Silverstein on April
Fool’s Day in 1976 was facing
an existential crisis — a tear-
jerking epilogue — all its own.
That meant no more poetry
readings. No more cozy wine
bar in the room just steps from
his bookshelves. That meant no
more magical connections with
customers who, like him, have
fallen in love with the written
word.
It meant an against-all-odds
campaign to save a little be-
loved bookstore that has woven
its way into the fabric of civic
life here. A GoFundMe cam-
paign has raised $103,000 so
far.
“For some reason they really
like me,’' Tannenbaum said of
his customers and supporters.
“ T hey really love me. I am
George Bailey.‘'
Actually, Matt Tannenbaum
is the second of four children
born in New York City, growing
up in an apartment house full
of European refugees.
His father died when he was
just 12 from heart disease the
day before he was to have open-
heart surgery performed by Dr.
Michael DeBakey, the world-fa-
mous cardiovascular surgeon
who pioneered bypass surgery.
An aspiring teacher, Tannen-
baum attended American Uni-
versity in Washington, where
he worked his way up to editor-
in-chief of the college newspa-
per, leaving in 1968 without
earning a degree. Eventually he

meet with officials at Fort
Hood, she said.
“We need a congressional in-
vestigation. That base has to be
turned upside down, every-
thing has to be looked at, every
person has to be interviewed,”
Khawam said in a phone inter-
view from Florida Sunday after-
noon. “We want to know why
it’s so toxic.”
Khawam said Fernandes
was sexually assaulted in April
inside a supply room at the
base, where a superior grabbed
Fernandes’s buttocks.
“They are not there to be
bullied or hazed, they are there
to serve our country,” she said
of soldiers at the base.
Lieutenant Colonel Chris
Brautigam, a spokesman for the
1st Cavalry Division, said in a
talized but released that night.
But Gunner’s family said her in-
juries were more severe, includ-
ing multiple broken limbs, and
said she has been under heavy
sedation since the incident.
“Her body shattered almost
like a glass bottle,” Catlin said in
a brief phone interview Satur-
day afternoon. “It’s a miracle
she’s still alive.”
Karen Miscia, 63, a nurse
who lives near the crash site,
said Sunday “it was the most
devastating scene I’ve seen in
my entire career.”
Gunner’s legs had been shat-
tered and a piece of fence had
gone through her chest, Miscia
said in a phone interview. The
couple had been hit so hard,
Colbert’s wedding ring had
been knocked off his finger and
bone fragments were scattered
in the yard, she said.
“You can’t get it out of your
head,” Miscia said. “I haven’t
been able to sleep.”
Another neighbor, Ann Len-
tell, 37, was outside having din-
ner when she heard a loud
crash up the street, where she
said a new sidewalk had recent-

He worked on John Lind-
say’s successful 1969 reelection
campaign for New York City
mayor, later taking a job with a
group protesting the Vietnam
War. He attended Brooklyn Law
School in 1970, before deciding
two things: It was too difficult.
And he wasn’t interested.
Eventually, he found himself
in the Berkshires surrounded
by bohemians and books. He
was home. And then nervous.
“I got cold feet,’' he recalled.
“What am I doing? I’ve never
owned anything like this. I took
one class in business. That’s
why I’m sitting here now.‘'
That applause you’re hear-
ing is coming from grateful,
longtime customers who —
over the long years now — have
statement Sunday that the Ar-
my continues to make finding
Fernandes a priority and re-
mains concerned for his well-
being.
“Sergeant Fernandes did re-
port an incident of abusive sex-
ual contact and that there is an
ongoing law enforcement inves-
tigation by US Army [Criminal
Investigation Command] into
that report,” Brautigam said
Sunday. “The chain of com-
mand takes all reports of sexual
harassment and assault seri-
ously.”
An update will be provided
when the Army’s Criminal In-
vestigation Command com-
pletes its work and “all parties
are informed of the results and
progress of the investigation,”
Brautigam said.
Khawam said the family is
concerned for his well-being,

“We looked over to see what
was going on and saw a blue
pickup truck back up and then
peel out,” she said. “Clearly they
fled afterwards; that’s the horri-
ble part about it,” she said.
On Wednesday, Natick Po-
lice Chief James Hicks said au-
thorities have a person of inter-
est in the case, who he urged to
come forward. “You don’t drive
down a roadway and strike two
people and leave. That’s not
what human beings do to each
other,” he told TV crews outside
the police station.
The district attorney’s office
said Wednesday that police had
located a “possible involved ve-
hicle,” but said Sunday that
there were no further develop-
ments in the case.
Wendy Catlin, 56, of Sud-
bury, another cousin of Gunner
and Tony Catlin’s sister, said she
was more focused on helping
the couple recover than about
the search for the driver. The
family is devastated by the
crash, she said.
“Don’t put energy into feel-
ing vindictive about the driver;
become more than browsers
along his bookshelves. They’ve
become his loyal clientele, his
literary fan club.
“He’s a marvelous character
and a character he is,’' Paula
Lustbader, 84, of Lenox and
Palm Beach, Fla., told me the
other day as she purchased a
book via a credit card from Tan-
nenbaum from behind the glass
window of his front door.
“We appreciate that we have
this small bookstore and it’s
very intimate,’' she said. “He’s
got a creative ability. Look what
he’s done with this wine bar. He
creates community for all of us.
And that’s why the community
loves him. If you talk about The
Bookstore in Lenox, people say,
‘Oh yeah, Matt!’ ‘'
His younger daughter, So-
phie, a 30-year-old Great Bar-
rington vege table farmer,
but Army officials have also
warned his loved ones that he
will be arrested for going ab-

Brautigam said Fernandes’s
duty status is currently absent
without leave, but it is adminis-
trative in nature and “does not
imply that the Soldier has done
anything wrong or illegal.”
“His Family and his leader-
ship just want to see that he is
safe and be in a position to help
provide for his well-being,”
Brautigam said.
Fernandes’s aunt, Isabel Fer-
nandes, said in a Friday inter-
view that a superior officer had
contacted the family on Aug. 14
and said Fernandes had not re-
ported to work that day.
Family members called Fer-
nandes, and he told them he

Catlin said the couple had
married about a year ago, but
had been together for at least
five years and had recently got-
ten enough money together to
buy a home in Natick.
“One of their favorite things
to do is to go out walking to-
gether,” she said in a phone in-
ter view, noting the couple
would often walk for miles.
“Most of all, they just love
being together,” she said.
Colbert suffered less serious
injuries in the crash, but he has
been deeply traumatized by the
event, she said. “He’s in a world
would agree with that. And so
would Tina Packer, founder and
former artistic director of
Shakespeare & Company here.
“He’s terribly knowledgeable
without being pompous or aca-
demic,’' Packer said. “People
said, ‘We can’t let that happen.’
The town would be really a
much poorer place without
him. I hope he gets more than
he needs so he gets a little piggy
bank.‘'
She’s a fan of the store and
its colorful history.
David Silverstein opened the
bookstore here in the summer
of 1966, encouraged to get into
the business by Alice Brock, the
central character in Arlo Guth-
rie’s anthem, “Alice’s Restau-
rant.‘‘
“Alice was an avid reader
and she said, ‘Why don’t you
open a bookstore?’ ‘’ Silverstein
discharged on Aug. 17, she
said. Fernandes was discharged
that day, she said, and his staff
sergeant said he had dropped
off her nephew at his former
residence. But his former room-
mate said later that he had not
seen him, she said.
Khawam said Sunday that
since Fernandes went missing,
volunteer searchers and sol-
diers have been looking for him
with the help of dogs and fliers
bearing his photograph.
“A lot of people are just de-
termined to put the posters out
because we just believe, we are
hoping, that he is just hiding,”
Khawam said.
“We are actively searching
for Elder. We are looking for-
ward to finding him, letting
him know he is protected, let-
ting him know that I will repre-
sent him against the Depart-

of hurt and in emotional agony
over what happened to his
wife,” she said.
According to Tony Catlin,
Colbert visited his wife at Tufts
Medical Center for the first
t i m e o n Fr i d ay. “ He n e v e r
thought he’d see his wife’s face
again,” Catlin said.
At least three more surgeries
are scheduled for the coming
week to reconstruct her arms
and legs, and she may need am-
putations, he said in a text Sun-
day.
“It’s a tragedy for everybody
all around,” Wendy Catlin said.
“It’s horrendous, but it’s also
tragic for the person who was
driving. Their life is never going
to be the same, whether they
come forward or not.”
The aftermath of the crash
has also continued to reverber-
ate in the neighborhood where
it happened, where residents
worry about speeding drivers
on a cut-through street that
provides access to walking
trails and a playground.
“It’s a very common … side-
walk for kids and families to go
for walks and access the play-

recalled. So he did and moved
the store to Lenox, where Tan-
nenbaum bought it from him.
“I think it’s fabulous,’' he
said about the campaign to save
his old shop. “I’m happy for
him, happy for the bookstore. I
feel so touched that people are
appreciative of an independent
bookstore, especially that book-
store, which is a special place.‘'
A special place. That’s pre-
cisely how Tannenbaum’s 34-
year-old daughter Shawnee de-
scribed the place she will take
over when it’s time for a transi-
tion of family ownership.
“I grew up here and I want
her to grow up here,’' she said,
nodding to her 4-month-old
daughter, Siena, who sat bright-
eyed in her arms. “It’s so spe-
cial. People love it. This is like

Khawam also represented

remains were found on July 1
about 20 miles from the base,
The remains of another Fort
Hood soldier, Gregory Morales,

in Morales’s death, which re-

neighbors. “ We were really
shook about it: That could have
been us.”
Miscia said with cars travel-
i n g d o w n t h e r o a d at h i g h
speed, she worries another dev-
astating crash could take place
by the playground.
“Something has got to be
done because I can’t run that
fast anymore over to the play-
ground,” she said, grimly.
“Whoever saw this is going
to be devastated for a while,”
she said. “This woman almost
lost her life. She’s going to be
crippled for life. She’s got a
long, long road to recovery if
she’s even able to keep both her
legs.”
Miscia and her neighbors
are now left to wonder about
the many what-ifs of the terri-
ble crash and parse rumors
about who was behind the
wheel Tuesday evening.
“You ruined someone’s life
— and for what reason?” she
asked, thinking of the driver.

Like any old home, the place
is full of memories. Like the fa-
mous authors who came by to
sign their books. Or the time a
wife fruitlessly tried to keep her
husband from browsing books
that she knew would consume
hours of their vacation.
“We hear a woman’s voice,
saying, ‘Harold! Don’t go in The
Bookstore! Harold! Harold!
Harold, don’t go in The Book-
store! Harold, stop!’ And then
the guy walks in The Bookstore
and we hear outside: ‘We lost
him.’ ‘'
And there was that time, two
summers ago, when a customer
approached him at his post
near the front door.
“He said, ‘I see what you do.
You sit in that chair surrounded
by the things you love most in
the world and you talk to peo-
ple. And the only time you get
interrupted is when someone
wants to give you money.‘’ '
Bingo, Matt Tannenbaum
thought.
“People love The Bookstore,’'
he said. “Again, I’m not going to
brag , but there’s a cer tain
amount of customer service
that we do here. I have not read
every book in this store. I’ll tell
you the truth. But the ones that
I have read are the ones I enjoy.
And I can find something to en-
joy in every book.‘'
And now, for the man whose
professional life has been sur-
rounded with stories of adversi-
ty and triumph, of humor and
tragedy, there’s a certain sense
of accomplishment as he roams
his old store wearing boat
shoes, a blue button-down shirt
— and a cranberry mask.
He has compiled a compel-
ling story of his own. And soon,
but not right now, he’ll be ready
to write its last line.
It won’t say The End.
Because, if you ask his
daughter, there’s a sequel com-
ing. It’s got a catchy title. So
write this down:
To Be Continued.

Two women killed in head-on crash

Two women were killed after a wrong-way driver crashed head-
on into their vehicle on Route 27 in Brockton early Sunday, ac-
cording to the Plymouth district attorney’s office. The two
women were traveling in a gray 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe in the
northbound lane when the car collided with a blue 2009 Volk-
swagen Jetta that was traveling southbound in the wrong direc-
tion on Route 27 near the overpass to Route 24 at about 3:08
a.m., the district attorney’s office said in a statement. A 31-year-
old man driving a 2000 red Chevy Tahoe also collided with the
Jetta after the initial crash. He was not injured and refused
medical treatment at the scene. The 66-year-old driver of the
Hundai Santa Fe was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where
she died, the Plymouth district attorney’s office said. Her 39-
year-old passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. The 30-
year-old driver of the Jetta was taken to Good Samaritan Hospi-
tal and then transferred to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in
Boston with life-threatening injuries, the district attorney’s of-
fice said. No charges have been filed, a spokeswoman for the
Plymouth district attorney’s office said in an e-mail. The crash
is under investigation.

Dennis woman ID’d as crash victim

The victim of a fatal multi-vehicle Dorchester crash Saturday
has been identified as 39-year-old Ashley Rose Jimenez of Den-
nis, according to State Police. A preliminary investigation sug-
gests that a Nissan Altima, driven by Jimenez, struck a traffic
barrier attenuator on Interstate 93 near Exit 14, went out of
control around 7:40 p.m., and hit a Brewster ambulance that
was transporting a patient, State Police said in a statement.
Three other vehicles were also involved in the crash after the
initial collision, the statement said. Jimenez was declared dead
at the scene, the statement said. She was the only person in the
car, according to police. Two Brewster EMS medics, the patient
they were transporting, and a man from one of the other in-
volved vehicles were transported to Boston Medical Center
with minor injuries, State Police said. Troopers found small
open and closed bottles of alcohol inside the Nissan, the state-
ment said. State Police had received reports of a vehicle match-
ing the description of the Nissan Altima being driven erratically
on Route 3 earlier Saturday, the statement said. The crash re-
mains under investigation.

rysta chauncey-allen of somerville
did not want to be late on a trend
again.
she hadn’t moved fast enough
during what she jokingly calls the
“great hammock rush of 2020,”
when many people, including her friends, decided it
might be nice to rest outside during the summer.
“you had to scour the internet for one,” she said. “i
didn’t want to do that again, so i started the conversa-
tion [with friends] about, like … what’s the next ham-
mock?”
the next hammock, as it turns out,
is a heat lamp.
some people are buying small,
portable, lantern-style lamps for
their city decks. others are investing in the tall,
mushroom-shaped lamps you might find on
the patio of a restaurant. chauncey-allen
bought her heat lamp — a Well traveled living
black, electric patio heater — from lowe’s.
in new england, where it could be very cold in a
just a few months, residents still want the option of
hanging out safely with friends. that means they
need a heat source strong enough to keep people co-
zy even if they’re many feet away from each other
and outside.
fire pits are also in style, but that can be a bigger
project — one that only works if you have the space.
a heat lamp is simple. Most of the time.
but they’re going fast.
a spokesperson for Wayfair said searches for pa-
tio heaters are up more than 70 percent in the last
five weeks compared to this time other years. (fire
pit searches are up 60 percent). Wayfair sells a vari-
ety of heaters for properties of all sizes, like electric
patio heaters that can be attached to the top of a cov-
ered porch. Mobile gas and electric heaters include
popular sellers such as the baner garden patio heat-
er, an almost 74-inch-tall propane patio heater
with a 20-foot heat range diameter (on sun-
day, it was out of stock), and northern trail’s
propane tabletop patio heater, which looks
like a tabletop version of what you’d see at a
restaurant. it’s been on sale for $103.99 and
is about 20 pounds.
frontgate, a brand known for design-
friendly, upscale outdoor decor, has a small
variety of heat lamps in its collection. they
sell to commercial and residential shoppers,
but these days there’s less distinction be-

tween the two.
lindsay foster, senior director of merchandising for
frontgate, said the company started to see an uptick in
interest in heat lamps this month. she said the ques-
tion of the moment is “how do we extend the season?”
Many people improved their outdoor space after
March and want to make use of it during the winter.
“We even see customers buying two and three, you
know, or multiple heaters at a time,” she said. “because
they want to stay outside as long as possible and they
know that as november hits, you can’t go anywhere.
they can at least go outside.”
a popular frontgate model is the propane-fueled
carillon patio heater, which has been on sale for
$1,139.05. there’s also the lightfire pa-
tio heater, which looks very Mi-
ami and costs more than $4,000.
it heats about 450 square feet of
outdoor space.
of course, if you miss the rush, you can get
more creative about where to find them. some
restaurant supply companies are now finding
that private consumers want their products.
andy starr, of restaurant supplier boston
showcase company, which has had clients such as
‘We even see customers buying
. . . multiple heaters at a time.
Because they want to stay
outside as long as possible.’
lindsay foster, senior director of
merchandising for Frontgate
davio’s, grill 23 & bar, and uni, said that in normal
times the company wouldn’t keep a surplus of patio
heaters in stock. but because of the pandemic, it
brought in a supply to have them on hand.
boston showcase company has some
mushroom- and pyramid-shaped models
that run about $600. of course, starr recom-
mends buying very soon.
“With a normal product that we carry,
they’d run out and we’d order more,” he said.
“but with the two particular models that we
brought in, there is nothing to re-order.”

ORLANDO — On his left leg were two over-
stuffed ice packs, cooling, protecting, and heal-
ing the left knee that has caused Kemba Walker
so much trouble this season. He could have
pounded the knee for more minutes if the Celt-
ics had allowed, but we may not have been here
if that was the case.
Here was Walker’s first career playoff series
victory. For eight years, Walker labored with the
Charlotte Bobcats/Hornets, becoming the lone
cornerstone of a franchise that has not sus-
tained any prolonged success since returning to
the NBA 15 years ago.
Walker represented all that was good about
the Hornets and then they essentially betrayed
him by not offering anything close to a maxi-
mum contract to stay, when he made it clear he
wanted to re-sign. So he signed a max deal with
the Celtics, the first time in his career he didn’t
have to be the lone focal point on a team, no

A dominance

It got to the point late in
Sunday’s Northern Trust
coverage that announcers
were left pointing out the
stretches of TPC Boston
that Dustin Johnson had
not birdied across four
dominant days of golf.
That’s how ridiculously
well DJ played, turning the manicured lawns of
Norton’s favorite golf course into his own person-
al playground, a show of dominance for which
only Mother Nature proved equal. Yet even as the
weather gods forced Johnson to pause on the
17th hole Sunday — at which point he held a
nine-stroke lead — they only delayed the inevita-
ble. A short time later, Johnson closed out an 11-
stroke victory and a 30-under 254 with one final
birdie on 18. He was the talk of both the week,
and the sport, as a whole.

Celtics 110 There was a time earlier this year
when a first-round series be-
76ers 106 tween the Celtics and 76ers, with
their All-Stars, their rabid fan bases, and their
simmering rivalry, would have been a seductive
matchup.
But then the games moved to silent Orlando,
then Ben Simmons and Gordon Hayward were
hurt, and then the Celtics established that this
seemingly fair fight was not fair at all. In Game 4
on Sunday the Celtics defeated the 76ers, 110-
106, to complete a series sweep.
Kemba Walker, who has advanced to the sec-
ond round of the playoffs for the first time, led
Boston with 32 points. Jayson Tatum added 28
points and a career-high 15 rebounds.
With the score tied at 77 late in the third quar-
ter the Celtics created separation with a 14-0 run
that was sparked by Tatum, who had been rela-
tively quiet. The All-Star had 7 points in the flur-
ry, including a deep dagger from the top of the
key. The Celtics never trailed again.

where it will face the Toronto Raptors, who swept

A bit of a fright at the finish,
but the Bruins cashed in on a
3-0 lead Sunday night, holding
off a late Tampa Bay charge led
by Victor Hedman’s two goals
for a 1-0 lead in the Eastern
Conference semis.
The Bolts too often were
loose in their own end, allow-
ing the Bruins room and time
around the net. A distinct dif-
ference from two years earlier,
also in a second-round series,
when the Bolts all but cor-
doned off their own end of the
ice with yellow police tape and
kept Boston forwards pushed
out high and wide.
“I thought we were better
than where we were,” said Bru-
ins coach Bruce Cassidy after
the win, the Bruins’ fourth in a
row this postseason. “We’ve
certainly grown as a team since
[2018], obviously some differ-
ent personnel. It’s something
you have to do in the playoffs,
particularly against a big D
core, and we did a better job.”
Keep in mind, noted Cassi-
dy, the Bruins won the opener
vs. the Bolts two years ago,
then dropped four straight.
“I mean, we won the first
game in Tampa,” he mused,
“then it didn’t go our way after
that. So we’re not going to get
ahead of ourselves . . . enjoy
this one, but understand what
we need to be better. And I am
sure they’ll say the same thing.”

puck in the Bolts’ zone and de-
laying until his mates arrived,
was waiting at the doorstep af-
ter Bergeron and Pastrnak
played hot potato. Boston 3,
Tampa 0.
“He has a gift,” an admiring
Marchand said of Bergeron’s
play-reading abilities. “That
goal was all him . . . That’s why
he’s going to be a Hall-of-Fam-
er.”
The Bruins also got a
healthy dollop of goaltending.
Jaroslav Halak, entrusted with
the Boston net from here on
out, inspired confidence with
35 saves on 37 shots. He had a
shutout until a soft Victor Hed-
man wrister deflected off Char-
lie McAvoy with 11:10 left in
the third period. It was the
first shot of the frame for Tam-
pa, which pounded pucks at
Halak in the second period but
couldn’t solve him.
“Got a little too cute,” coach
Bruce Cassidy said of the sec-
ond, when Halak papered over
a handful of mistakes with
five-star stops. “He was domi-
nant that period.”
In a matchup of the East’s
deepest teams — Marchand
professed that the Bruins have
“three No. 1 centers,” and the
Lightning have “six top-two de-
fensemen” — the Black and
Gold were better early. They
jumped on the Bolts in the
first, putting 15 pucks on An-
drei Vasilevskiy, who denied
perhaps their best chance of
the opening frame.
About a minute before
Coyle’s goal with 1:08 left in
the period, Torey Krug slipped
a brilliant five-foot pass
through a stack of Lightning
defenders at the blue line. On-
drej Kase was speeding
through the middle and
wound up alone. Vasilevskiy
(28 saves on 31 shots) came up
with a split-legged pad stop on
Kase’s forehand-to-backhand
bid, which didn’t rise more
than a foot off the ice. He also
stoned Kase — zero goals in 13
games since he was acquired
from the Ducks — on a 2-on-1
in the second.
Vasilevskiy had little chance
to stop the redirect from Coyle,
who stood 10 feet to the goal-
ie’s left and knocked a Brandon
Carlo slapper out of the path of
Vasilevskiy’s glove, and behind
his ear. It was the third goal
this postseason for Coyle, who
produced a 9-7—16 line in 24
the inside game right off the
hop. They owned a 15-9 shot
advantage, and a 1-0 lead, with
Charlie Coyle connecting with
a low-in-the-zone tip of a Bran-
don Carlo shot. Coyle was
alone above the crease, the
Bolts back liners leaving him
far too much open acreage. The
open acreage became a theme.
Goalie Jaroslav Halak won
three straight in Round 1, fill-
ing in for the franchise tender
Tuuuka Rask. The ’Canes didn’t
pepper him with shots the way
the Bolts can, but that wasn’t
evident in the first period.
Tampa landed only the nine
shots, and really never tested
the 35-year-old tender. Halak
has won four straight, the first
time he has won four games in
the postseason since the spring
of 2010 when he was wearing
the Montreal CH.
Frustrated on the power
play vs. Columbus in Round 1,
when they went 0 for 10, the
Bolts had one chance with the
advantage in the first period
(Zdeno Chara cross-check in
the opening minute). But the
futility remained. They
squeezed off only one shot on
Halak. They finished the night
0 for 3 on the advantage.
With Steve Stamkos injured,
they just don’t move the puck
with the same pace, and they
don’t make the offensive end of
the ice look bigger than a soc-
cer field.

thanks in large part to Krug’s
sharp stick keeping the puck in
the zone. David Krejci, still on
the first unit, took a drop from

from Columbus. He said he
hoped to get more chances in
this series by drawing more
fouls.
To get those chances, the
Bolts will have to do a better
job of moving their feet. Speed
alone won’t guarantee penal-
ties, but it will typically force ci’s inclusion on the first-unit
opponents into stick and ob-
struction infractions — then it’s postseason for the Bruins. It

After the Bru-
ins made it
2-0 with only 4:34 gone, the
Bolts outshot them, 17-4, for
the rest of the period. The ice
tilted. And the steady-legged
Halak handled the vertigo.
“It’s huge,” Coyle said of
Halak’s work. “They’re a good
team. They’re going to push.
And Jaro was there to shut the

right wall. Tampa’s tired legs
barely moved. The Lightning
sagged toward Bergeron in the
bumper, but made a critical
mistake.
They left a seam open for
Krejci.
Pastrnak finished a fore-
hand-to-forehand pass, rip-
ping a rocket of a one-timer
under Vasilevskiy’s blocker at
4:34 of the second.
“I was ready for about 15
seconds,” Pastrnak said.
“Obviously a great pass by
David,” Bergeron said. “I was

knew it wasn’t for me.”
Krejci’s seven-game playoff
point streak is the longest by a
Bruin since Bergeron’s seven-
gamer in 2014.
In the final 15:26 of the pe-
riod, Tampa mashed the gas
pedal. The Lightning flung 33
pucks toward Halak, landing
17, and allowed the Bruins six
shot attempts.
But Halak was a wall. He
stopped a trio of Tampa tries in
the middle of the period: Erik
Cernak on the rush, Nikita
Kucherov on the rebound, and
Brayden Point from the slot.
Later on, he spread out to deny
a bang-bang Barclay Goodrow
bid.
The Bruins out-attempted
the Lightning, 13-2, in the first
10 minutes of the third. Tampa
pushed back, but Boston sur-
vived. A final push with the net
empty produced another long
Hedman strike, again off the
leg of McAvoy, with 1:14 left.

wing faceoff dot on a velvety
dish from David Krejci from
the bottom edge of the right
wing circle. Again the Bolts
were shoddy in their own end,
albeit on a penalty kill, and
Krejci had no resistance deliv-
ering the cross-slot relay. Krej-
PP has been the “find” of the
highlights his spatial sense and
passing skills.
If the Bolts can’t defend
own zone,
then they’ll
have to over-

on offense, as
they did in the
final 15 min-

second. But
that’s typically
not a prescrip-
tion for suc-
cess. They are
a bit spoiled,
given the su-
perlative work
of Andrei
Vasilevskiy in net, but the Bru-
ins were afforded too many
Grade-A chances in the first 25
minutes.
Left winger Nick Ritchie,
scratched for the final three
games of the Hurricanes series,
was back in the lineup on a line
with Coyle and Anders Bjork
on right wing. Neither pro-
duced a point, but both looked
better in the third period (three
shots on net for Bjork). Ritchie
delivered five hits, second only
to the seven by Joakim Nord-
strom.
Krejci still has playoff magic
Chad Finn
I’ve always found it telling
in all the important ways when
a productive player makes a
habit of performing at an equal
or even higher level in the post-
season.
During the dozen champ-
ionships graciously delivered to
Boston sports fans this century,
a number have earned a well-
deserved reputation for being
at their best when the stakes
are the highest and the compe-
tition is toughest.
David Ortiz, the greatest
clutch hitter in Red Sox history
(with the plaque to prove it), is
the ultimate example. He
slashed .290/.386/.570 in his
14-year Red Sox career. In 76
postseason games here, he was
slightly better than that at
.291/.415/.560, including a ri-
diculous .455/.576/.795 line in
14 World Series games.
Remember, it’s extremely
hard to equal, let alone sur-
pass, regular-season produc-
tion in the postseason, since
you’re playing only the best
competition. Ortiz remained
extraordinary, and often ex-
ceeded his usual greatness.
Since becoming a starting
wide receiver in 2013, the Pat-
riots’ Julian Edelman has aver-
aged 69.3 receiving yards per
game during the regular season
while an integral part of the of-
fense. He’s upped that to 97.6
per game over 14 postseason
games in the same stretch.
We’ll never forget Tim
Thomas taking his play in net
to a Drydenesque level during
the Bruins’ Stanley Cup run in
2011, when he posted a 1.98
goals-against average and four
shutouts en route to the Conn
Smythe Trophy.
The fairly recent Celtics ver-
sion? How about Rajon Rondo,
who delivered electrifying play-
off performances, be it a 44-
point, 10-assist effort against
the Heat (Game 2, 2012 East-
ern Conference Finals) and a
28-point, 18-rebound, 13-assist
masterpiece against the Cava-
liers (Game 4, 2010 Eastern
Conference semifinals).
Rondo seemed to revel in
befuddling fans — and espe-
cially the media, actually — but
he came through so often in big
spots, it became commonplace
to refer to him as “Playoff Ron-
do” or “National TV Rondo.”
Which brings us to David
Krejci. Or perhaps we should
refer to the Bruins veteran
centerman as his alter ego:
“Playoff Krejci.”
You call him that. I do, too.
I’m pretty sure Jack Edwards
and Judd Sirott have done it.
M O N D A Y, A U G U S T 2 4 , 2 0 2 0
The takeaway of the night
belonged to Patrice Bergeron
on Brad Marchand’s goal that
made it 3-0 only 1:17 into the
third. Ryan McDonagh picked
the puck up near his own goal
— after great leg work by
Marchand getting the puck
deep — and was attempting to
race up the right side. But Pa-
trice The Thief slipped his stick
under McDonagh’s stick, made
the quick filch, and swept the
puck back toward Pastrnak
near the net. Pasta fed a cross
to Marchand, who banged
home his fourth goal of the
postseason. Again, the Bolts
were too loose in their own
end, and again, they paid.
“He has a gift, the way he
reads the game,” said March-
and, assessing Bergeron’s steal.
“His stick positioning, his abili-
ty to read plays . . . There’s just
very few guys in the league that
have that ability on the defen-
sive side of things . . . picking
pucks, lifting sticks, his back
pressure is incredible. That
goal was all him. His
forechecking a great read, and
that’s why he’s going to be a
Hall-of-Famer.”
The Bolts, with their 28th
shot of the night, finally broke
Halak. With 8:50 gone in the
third, Hedman connected on a
45-foot snap when the puck
squibbed free in the slot. Jake
DeBrusk was a hair late to
front the shot, and then Hed-
man’s shot ticked in off Charlie
McAvoy.
One of the few times the
Bruins were sloppy in their
own end, and a very alert play
by the uber-taltented Hedman

“Obviously, we all love play-
off Krech,’' said David Pastrnak
after the Bruins’ series-clinch-
ing 2-1 win over the Hurri-
canes Wednesday. “He’s unbe-
lievable.”
Pastrnak’s comment came
after Krejci scored a tying pow-
er-play goal in Game 5, then as-
sisted on Patrice Bergeron’s go-
ahead score. Krejci finished the
series with three goals, five as-
sists, and a claim as the Bruins’
best player in the series.
On a roster with Pastrnak,
Patrice Bergeron, and Brad
Marchand among other nightly
three-stars candidates, no one
would claim Krejci is the Bru-
ins’ best player during the reg-
ular season. But the playoffs
are a different matter with him.
He has a long history of playoff
performance in his 14 seasons
as a Bruin.
When the Bruins won their
first Cup since 1972, Thomas,
Bergeron, and captain Zdeno
Chara were perceived, rightful-
ly, as the frontmen of the band
and, along with Marchand, the
stars of the parade. But it was
Krejci who led all players in the
postseason with 12 goals (in-
cluding four game-winners)
and 23 points. He set up Na-
than Horton’s winner in the
pristine 1-0 victory over the
Lightning in Game 7 of the
Eastern Conference finals, and
that was after scoring a hat
trick in Game 6.
Leading the playoffs in scor-
ing once is never a fluke, but I
suppose it could be the product
of a well-timed hot stretch for a
just decent player. But leading
the playoffs in scoring twice?
That’s when you join — and be-
long with — elite company.
Krejci entered a club that in-
cludes Wayne Gretzky, Mario
Lemieux, and Guy Lafleur in
2013 when he paced the post-
season with 26 points (9 goals,
17 assists) during the Bruins’
run to the Cup Final.
Krejci ranks sixth in Bruins
history in playoff goals (39),
and only Ray Bourque tops
Krejci’s assists (74) and points
(113).

If the 34-year-old continues
to play at a high level in the
postseason this year and per-
haps a season or two beyond,
there might be another number
we need to remember: 46.
His sweater number, which
could well end up in the Gar-
den rafters.
This praise is not meant to
double as a claim Krejci is al-
ways a phenomenon in the
playoffs. In the Cup Final last
year against the Blues, he had
no goals and two assists in the
seven-game defeat. His most
memorable play was a kick
save while covering for an out-
of-position Tuukka Rask in the
Game 5 loss.
Before finding the net in
Game 1 against the Hurricanes,
he had been on a 14-game post-
season goalless drought, dating
to the Eastern Conference fi-
nals last year against Carolina.
Krejci is an elite passer, a savvy
all-around player, and a reli-
able defender, but his grace
and calm, slow-the-game pace
can make him appear laconic
when the points aren’t piling
up.
But after 14 seasons, most
Bruins fans understand and
appreciate him. And he has a
coach who absolutely gets him.
“He’s a real competitor,
good team guy, well liked in the
room, quiet, I think a good
hockey mind,” said Bruce Cassi-
dy after the Carolina clincher.
“You can always talk to him
about the game and get good
responses and good dialogue.
[He’s a] guy that loves the
game, he just doesn’t show it
maybe like some other people
would because he is kind of
more of a composed guy that
way, but certainly one of the
more fierce competitors in
terms of inner drive that I’ve
been around here.”
Maybe Krejci drives you
nuts sometimes, when he
seems bored or indifferent dur-
ing a slog of a Tuesday night in
one corner of Canada or anoth-
er. (Or, say, during the round-
robin portion of the Bubble
Playoffs.)
But he’s one of those ath-
letes with a history and habit of
seizing the moment and being
at his best in the postseason.
Like Ortiz, and Edelman, and
yes, Playoff Rondo, among
many others in these Boston
sports good ol’ days.
Playoff Krejci is here again,
and when the spotlight comes
on, he makes you grateful that
he’s on your side.

Brian MacLellan told reporters

in the second period with a

Avalanche coach Jared Bed-

Godley off target as Sox fall in series finale
By Peter Abraham
GLOBE STAFF
Orioles 5 A series victory
against the Balti-
Red Sox 4 more Orioles at
Camden Yards wouldn’t usually
be viewed as much of an accom-
plishment for the Red Sox.
But for this particular team,
it would have been significant if
only to prop up the confidence
of the many castoffs and rook-
ies dotting the roster, and to re-
mind the veterans of the days
when they played for a team
that was feared.
Even that small mercy was
elusive Sunday afternoon with
a 5-4 loss.
Following wins Thursday

dropped consecutive one-run
games after trading Heath
Hembree and Brandon Work-
man to the Philadelphia Phillies
on Friday night.
“It’s hard when you look at
the losses and you look at your
record,” manager Ron Roen-
icke said. “It doesn’t help any-
body. I don’t really look at it
that much. I know we’re not
playing well.”
With several of the primary
relievers unavailable because
of recent use, Roenicke was
limited in what moves he could
make. So it didn’t help when
starter Zack Godley walked five
of the 16 batters he faced and
hit another before finally com-
ing out in the third inning.
The righthander was diffi-
cult to watch, his max-effort de-
livery firing pitch after pitch
out of the strike zone.
Godley left five runners
stranded in the first two inn-
ings. But when he walked Pedro
Severino, Chance Sisco, and Ry-
an Mountcastle in the third in-
ning, it was all Roenicke could
stand.
Facing Jeffrey Springs, Rio
Ruiz lined a full-count fastball
to right field to drive in two
runs. It was a ball that should
have been caught but J.D. Mar-
tinez was shifted toward center
field and couldn’t get there fast
enough.
Andrew Velazquez then laid
down a bunt and Mountcastle
scored standing.
Godley lacked the ability to
put hitters away, the Orioles
fouling off 17 of his pitches.
“They just took some really
good at-bats,” he said. “I had to

loss against the Orioles so they

RED SOX joy Monday’s
NOTEBOOK day off.
The team
starts a three-game series Tues-
day in Buffalo against the To-
ronto Blue Jays. Under the
terms of the agreement reached
for the Blue Jays to use Sahlen
Field this season, visiting teams
are strictly confined to their ho-
tel and the ballpark.
“I didn’t want guys to basi-
cally be locked up in their
rooms for the whole day off,”
Sox manager Ron Roenicke
said. “[In Baltimore] it’s not
like it’s just a free-for-all. But
we have certain places they can
go here. They can get out of the
hotel to walk around if they
want to. In Buffalo, you can’t
do that.”
After the Canadian govern-
ment banned games in Toronto
because of coronavirus con-
cerns, the Blue Jays moved
quickly to refurbish their Triple
A park and have played seven
games there.
“I hear it’s a good situation. I
know it was a scramble to get
things ready,” Roenicke said. “It
will be interesting to see.”
The Sox will fly into Buffalo
on Monday night.
Rotation shift
The Sox will start Kyle Hart
and Nate Eovaldi in the first
two games of the Toronto se-
ries. Thursday’s starter is unde-
termined.
Martin Perez would be on
turn for Thursday but the deci-
sion was made to give him an
extra day off. The Sox started
splitting up Eovaldi and Perez
earlier this month to ease the
burden on the bullpen.
Eovaldi and Perez have aver-
aged 5‚ innings in their 12

inning.”
That’s been a theme. Godley,
who was released by the Tigers
in July, has a 7.29 earned run
average and 1.95 WHIP in six
games for the Sox.
Robert Stock, a waiver claim
in July, started the seventh inn-
ing for the Sox. Severino and
Sisco singled, Pat Valaika bunt-
ed them over, and Ruiz lined a
double to left field to drive in
two runs.
Sunday was the 20th time in
29 games the Sox allowed five
or more runs.
Even what should be breaks
don’t work out well for the Sox
this season.
Orioles starter Wade Le-
Blanc allowed a home run by
Kevin Pillar to start the game.
He then came off the mound

injury.

starts and have a 4.25 earned
run average. The Sox have aver-
aged only 2„ innings in their
other 17 starts with a 7.49
ERA.
Arroyo sticks around
A series of roster moves led
to the Sox keeping infielder
Christian Arroyo.
The former first-round pick
was claimed off waivers from
Cleveland on Aug. 13. He was
then placed on the COVID-19
injured list a day later to com-
plete intake testing.
Arroyo was activated on
Aug. 19 and added to the ros-
ter. He did not play and was
designated for assignment the

in and fired 4‚ scoreless inn-
ings.
“It’s a disadvantage,” Roen-
icke said. “It’s hard to make
changes that early in the game.
You kind of want to see how the
game unfolds.”
The Sox did not score again
until the sixth inning when Pil-
lar singled off Miguel Castro,
Martinez walked, and Xander
Boga er ts doubled to right
field.
The Sox had Martinez run
on contact from third base and
he was thrown out at the plate
w h e n C h r i s t i a n Va z q u e z
grounded to second.
Alex Verdugo pinch hit in
the ninth inning and drew a
walk off Mychal Givens. With
two outs, Orioles manager
Brandon Hyde went to
lefthander Tanner Scott to face
lefthanded-hitting Jackie Brad-
ley Jr.
Bradley went the other way
next day. He subsequently
cleared waivers and was out-
righted to the training camp in
Pawtucket.
Arroyo has hit .214 in 71
major league games but is a
skilled second baseman who
can also play third and short-
stop.
Benintendi on mend
There has been little news
on Andrew Benintendi since
he went on the injured list
with a strain on the right side
of his rib cage on Aug. 12.
“Still a ways away,” Roenicke
said. “So I really haven’t
locked in on what’s going on
with him.” The expectation is

singled to extend the game but
Pillar grounded into a force to
end it.
Pillar credited the Sox with
being in position to win the fi-
nal two games of the series. But
he acknowledged the overall
position they’re in.
“When you have two guys
get traded that were a big part
of this team . . . two guys that
were a part of helping this orga-
nization win a World Series, it’s
obviously a gut punch,” he said.
“It’s a reality of where we put
ourselves as a team, allowing
the front office to make the
moves they made.”

THE NORTHERN TRUST FINAL ROUND

Oosthuizen needs
every shot to earn
final spot in BMW
By Hayden Bird
BOSTON.COM
There wasn’t much sus-
pense still on the course Sun-
day when a 74-minute delay
left the final
NOTEBOOK three groups
unsure if
they’d finish their rounds.
Dustin Johnson was clearly
on his way to victory, riding all
the momentum in the world to
Olympia Fields in Illinois for
next week’s BMW Champion-
ship.
Louis Oosthuizen, mean-
while, wasn’t sure where he
was headed. The South African
MATTHEW J LEE/GLOBE STAFF
entered the week 99th in the
Dustin Johnson, checking his notes before putting on No. 10 on Sunday, had a great read on TPC Boston all weekend. FedExCup standings, but had
played himself into position to
at least on the front nine.
Woods birdied each of the
first four holes, playing some of
his best golf of the tournament.
“I felt like I hit the ball bet-
ter,” Woods said. “I putted bet-
ter. Everything was just cleaner
and better today. It was good. I
just wish I would have kept the
round going a little bit more.”
Woods sandwiched his last
two birdies around a bogey on
the par-3 eighth, and made
nine pars on the back nine.
Given some of the low
scores on the course this week,
including Scottie Scheffler
posting the 12th sub-60 round
in Tour history with a Friday
59, Woods entertained the
thought of what might have

30 under par in a PGA Tour
event, joining Ernie Els (31 un-
der, 2003) and Jordan Spieth
(30 under, 2016), who both did
it at par-73 Kapalua in Hawaii.
“I don’t know, I’ve never
shot 30 under in four rounds,”
Johnson said, making no secret
he had the number in his sights
when he stepped on the course
Sunday. “Just something that I
wanted to do.”
Before Johnson’s 11-stroke
runaway, the largest margin of
victory on the Tour this season
was six. The most dominant
showing of his prior 21 PGA
Tour victories was eight, when
he won at Kapalua in 2018.
“It is a big margin, and I’m
definitely really proud of that,”
Johnson said. “My goal today
was, I knew I was playing well
and I knew the guys were going
to shoot low.”
Johnson also moved back to
No. 1 in the world rankings for
the sixth time in his career and
the first time since last May, dis-
placing Jon Rahm, who shot
69-67-67-65 and tied for sixth,
14 shots back.
The course was Johnson’s
playground from the time he
needed only 27 shots to play the
first nine holes of his Friday sec-
ond round, that eventual 11-
under 60 followed with a 7-un-
der 64 on Saturday.
Johnson did his damage
quickly again Sunday, with an
eagle on the par-5 second and
birdies on Nos. 4, 5, 7, and 8. It
was his fifth eagle of a week
when no other player finished
with more than two, and his 18-
under total on the front nine —
which included a 1-over 37 in
the first round — would’ve tied
him for third all by itself.
Johnson only missed seven
greens in regulation all week,
going 18 for 18 for the second
time in his career on Sunday,
and missed just two fairways in
the final round.
“Obviously this is a really
good week,” Johnson said. “My
ball striking was unbelievable. I
found something on Wednes-
day. Felt like I was swinging re-
ally good, but something
clicked on Wednesday. I really,
really hit it well on Thursday. I
didn’t really make a lot of putts,
but I really went and worked
hard on my putting on Thurs-
day afternoon, and it paid off.”
English and Scottie Scheffler
came into the day five strokes
behind Johnson, but their
hopes of catching him washed
away long before the rain came.
English bogeyed 18 in the dark-
ness, a 2-under 69 his worst of
the week by three shots.
“Years past, TPC Boston has
not been a great track for me,
but I felt like I was coming in
with really good form and I
played really well,” English said.
“Just, Dustin played unbeliev-
able golf. It was solid ball strik-
ing, putting, everything. Shoot-
ing 30 under on a playoff golf
course like this is pretty incredi-
ble, and well deserved.”
After coming into the season
with a conditional card, English
kept his goals and performance
in perspective. Leaping to sixth
in the FedExCup standings, he’s
secured a spot in the season-
ending Tour Championship.
“I’ve been in that spot, a lot
of tr ying to get in the Tour
Championship, and only get-
ting in once in my career,” he
said. “It feels really good to fi-
nally get back there. Only an
hour away from where I went to
college [at Georgia]. Feel like I
have good vibes there, and I’m
excited about getting there and
having a realistic chance of win-
ning the FedEx Cup.”
Scheffler, whose 59 on Fri-
day not even Johnson could
touch, needed birdie on the last
hole just for an even-par 71
Sunday. He finished tied for
fourth at 17 under with Kevin
Kisner (who closed with 66),
both one behind Daniel Berger.
“I feel like I played a solid
round yesterday,” Scheffler said.
“I just made too many mis-
takes, and today got off to a
slow start and didn’ t make
many putts. I put myself in a
good position going into the
weekend. Didn’ t play well
enough.”
With his second win of the
s e a s o n , Jo h n s o n n o t o n l y
earned the New England dou-
ble — he won June’s Travelers
Championship in Connecticut
— but jumped to the top of the
FedExCup standings after the
first of three playoff events.
Despite tying Rory McIlroy
with his fifth playoff event vic-
tory, Johnson is still chasing his
first overall title. He was second
in 2016, when he went into the
Tour Championship leading the
standings and was tied for the
tournament lead entering the
final round at East Lake, but
shot a field-worst 73 and lost
out to McIlroy.
“It’s something I haven’t
won,” Johnson said. “It’s some-
thing I’ve been close to winning
a few times, and it’s just some-
thing that I would really like to
have on my resumé when I’m
done playing golf. You know, it’s
a big title. It means a lot to all
the guys out here. It definitely
means a lot to me, and it ’s
something that I really want to
be a FedEx Cup champion.”

Popov
completes
stunner
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sophia Popov marked her
ball a few inches from the hole
on the 18 th green at Royal
Troon, pulled
GOLF the brim of her
ROUNDUP cap over her
face, and be-
gan to cry in the arms of her
caddie. The realization had fi-
nally hit her.
Against all the odds, she was
about to become a major cham-
pion.
Moments later and still wip-
ing away tears, Popov tapped in
the putt to complete a two-
stroke victory Sunday and an-
other fairy-tale story at the
Women’s British Open.
Ranked No. 304, Popov had
never won a senior professional
event before. She lost her card
on the LPGA Tour at the end of
last year and only qualified for
the British Open via a top-10
finish two weeks ago at the
Marathon Classic, which she
was playing only because high-
er-ranked players couldn’t at-
tend due to COVID-19 restric-
tions.
This was just Popov’s fourth
appearance at a major. And, as
she would later reveal in public
for the first time, she has been
bothered by health issues for
the past six years, notably Lyme
disease.
No wonder the emotions
flowed after shooting 3-under
68 to finish ahead of Jasmine
Suwannapura of Thailand (67)
and become the first female
golfer from Germany to win a
major title. It is a life-changing
victory, not least because the
winner’s check of $675,000 is
more than six times her entire
career earnings before Sunday.
“There’s a lot of hard work
behind this, a lot of struggles I
went through, especially
health-wise,” the 27-year-old
Popov said in the presentation
ceremony. “I had a lot of obsta-
cles thrown in my way so I’m
glad I stuck with it. I almost
quit playing last year — thank
God I didn’t.”
On a rare still day on the
links in southwest Scotland,
Popov began with a three-
stroke lead but drove into bun-
ker on the first hole and missed
a 10-foot par putt. She barely
made a mistake after that, pot-
ting 8-footers for birdies on
Nos. 2 and 3, added three more
to build a lead, then bogeyed
the last with the tournament in
hand.
Suwannapura, who also
would have been an improba-
ble winner with a ranking of
No. 138, made four straight
birdies from No. 4 to move
within one stroke of the lead,
but it was the closest she came.
No. 8-ranked Minjee Lee, who
played with Popov in the final
pairing, finished third at 3 un-
der after a round of 69.
European — Frenchman Ro-
main Langasque captured his
first European Tour title after
shooting a bogey-free, 6-under
65 — tying the lowest round of
the week at Celtic Manor — to
win the Wales Open.
Langasque finished at 8-under
276, two strokes ahead of Sami
Valimaki of Finland, who shot
69. Sebastian Soderberg, who
started the day tied for the lead
with Connor Syme, went to the
par-5 18th needing a birdie to
force a playoff. His approach
found the water and he wound
up with a triple-bogey 8 for a
74, dropping to a tie for fifth on
4 under.
Champions — Phil Mickelson is
in Springfield, Mo., ready to
make his PGA Tour Champions
debut at Ozarks National hav-
ing been eliminated from the
PGA Tour playoffs at TPC Bos-
ton.
Mickelson would have been
left with just one tuneup event
before the US Open at Winged
Foot from Sept. 14-20, so the
freshly 50 Lefty is joining fellow
tour rookies Ernie Els and Jim
Furyk, both of whom already
have won this season, former
Masters winner Mike Weir, and
former Players champion K.J.
Choi.
Mickelson’s been paired with
good friends and longtime ri-
vals Steve Stricker and Retief
Goosen.
“I didn’ t really want two
weeks off. I’ve been working
hard on my game. I want to get
out and play,” Mickelson said,
“so this worked out really well.”

Takuma Sato goes for the gusto with a traditional
swig of milk after his second career Indy 500 victory.
Sato wins second
Indianapolis 500
By Jenna Fryer
ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — At an
eerily empty Indianapolis
Motor Speedway, Takuma
Sato snatched a second Indi-
anapolis 500 victory in an
odd and unsatisfying finish
to “The Greatest Spectacle in
Racing.”
Sato held off Scott Dixon
and won under caution after
teammate Spencer Pigot
crashed with five laps re-
maining in Sunday’s race,
run in front of empty grand-
stands for the first time in
race history.
Sato, 43, became the first
Japanese winner of the Indy
500 in 2017. Graham Rahal,
Sato’s teammate at Rahal
Letterman Lanigan Racing,
was third behind Dixon.
Pigot needed medical at-
tention on the track, the
crash scene was a massive
debris field. His nasty hit de-
stroyed his car and he was
prone on the track before he
was taken to a hospital. In-
dyCar said he was awake
and alert.
Dixon, the five-time Indy-
Car champion who had
dominated the race, asked
on his radio if IndyCar was
going to give the drivers a fi-
nal shootout.
The answer was no, turn-
ing the end of the race into a
game of what-ifs.
“Its a little silly to predict
what might have happened.
The reality is Takuma won,”
Harvick dominates
at Dover for 7th win
By Dan Gelston
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DOVER, Del. — Kevin
Harvick regained the
NASCAR Cup Series victory
lead with his seventh, domi-
nating Sunday at Dover
International Speedway.
A day after Denny Ham-
lin opened with doublehead-
er weekend with his sixth
win to match Harvick, the
Stewart-Haas racing driver
one-upped his closest rival
to claim NASCAR’s regular-
season title. Harvick has 56
career Cup victories to tied
Kyle Busch for ninth on the
career list.
Harvick swept all three
stages in the No. 4 Ford and
won for the third time in
seven races. He gave Ford its
700th Cup victory.
“Man, what a year,” Har-
vick said. “I love the grit
about our race team. Some-
times we don’t have the fast-
est car but we have guys that
are willing to suck it up.”
Harvick long ago secured
his spot in NASCAR’s play-
offs. With just Daytona left
next week before the 16-
driver field is set, Aric Almi-
rola, Busch, and brother
Kurt Busch all wrapped up
berth on points.
Martin Truex Jr. was sec-
ond and Jimmie Johnson,
Dover’s career winner with
11, was third. Johnson’s
No. 48 team gambled on a
late two-tire pit stop that
gave the seven-time champi-
on a late surge.
Johnson is on the bubble,
four points outside of the
cutoff with his fate to be de-
cided under the lights at
Daytona. There are 13 driv-
ers with a spot in the play-
offs. Clint Bowyer, Matt
DiBendetto, and William By-
ron hold the final three spots
on points. Johnson is the
biggest outlier to have a
T h e B o s t o n
said winning car owner Bob-
by Rahal. “This isn’t the first
500 to be flagged under yel-
low and there was a hell of a
mess out there.”
IndyCar said in a state-
ment after the finish “there
were too few laps remaining
to gather the field behind
the pace car, issue a red flag
and then restart for a green-
flag finish.”
Dixon was visibly disap-
pointed after leading 111 of
the 200 laps in pursuit of his
own second Indy win.
“Definitely a hard one to
swallow for sure. We had
such a great day,” Dixon said.
Dixon figured he would
ultimately run down Sato as
Sato worked through lapped
traffic.
None of it mattered in the
end as Sato was able to coast
around the speedway then
ride the lift to an elevated
victory circle installed by
new track owner Roger Pen-
ske. Along for the ride was
David Letterman, his unruly
gray beard barely contained
by his mask.
“Let me just say, if some-
one said to me this morning
at the end of the Indianapo-
lis 500 that Takuma Sato
and Scott Dixon and Gra-
ham Rahal would be racing
for the lead, I would say
t h a t ’s a d r e a m , t h a t ’s a
dream come true,” Letter-
man said. “And I woke up
and it turned out we won the
Indianapolis 500.”

— unless there’s a surprise
winner.
The only hiccup was a
brief red flag needed when a
hole in the concrete had to
be patched. Harvick took it
from there and continued to
showcase what should be a
fantastic battle with Hamlin
for the championship.
“ With Denny winning
yesterday, we needed to win
today,” Harvick said.

Chase Briscoe rang up his

win his sixth Xfinity Series
race of the season.

HOEy, Sister Amy
Formerly M. Amy Xavier, 89, a Sister
of Mercy for 68 years, died August 14,
2020, at Warde Rehabilitation and
Nursing Center in Windham, New
Hampshire, after a period of declining
health. A native of East Boston,
Massachusetts, she was the daughter of
the late Matthew and Amy (Hamilton)
Hoey.
Sister Amy held degrees in English
- a B.A. from Emmanuel College in
Boston, an M.A. from Boston College,
and a Ph.D. from the University of
Connecticut/Storrs. Her ministry as
a Sister of Mercy began in education
with teaching in elementary and
secondary schools in New Hampshire
and Massachusetts. She served as a
faculty member of Mount Saint Mary
College in Hooksett, New Hampshire,
and as Academic Dean and President.
After Mount Saint Mary closed in 1978,
she served on the English faculty at St.
Anselm College.
In 1980, she was elected President of
the Sisters of Mercy of New Hampshire
and served six years in that office.
Subsequently, she served as Executive
Director of the Federation of the Sisters
of Mercy of the Americas working
from the office which was then in
Rochester, New York. In 1989, she
moved to Washington, D.C. to serve
on the Transition Group preparing to
establish (in 1991) the Institute of the
Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, a
merger of all the Sisters of Mercy in this
country, Latin America, the Caribbean,
Guam, and the Philippines. She then
served on the first elected leadership
team of the Institute. In 1996 she was
appointed Project Coordinator at the
United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops, staffing the Subcommittee on
Lay Ministry which was preparing the
document Co-Workers in the Vineyard
of the Lord: A Resource for Guiding the
Development of Lay Ecclesial Ministry.
That document was adopted by the
bishops’ conference in November 2005.
As that document was being prepared
and after it was adopted, Sister Amy
gave numerous presentations and
workshops to dioceses and professional
ministry groups throughout the
country. In 2007 she co-founded
and co-directed a program named
Companioning the Dying: Opening
Fully to Living, a formation program
for those who feel called to accompany
those who are dying and their
caregivers and who wish to explore the
impact of that experience on their own
lives.
In 2013, Sister Amy returned to
New Hampshire where she served as
a volunteer with Compassionate Care
Hospice. In 2015, she was appointed
as Mercy Family Contact for those
Sisters of Mercy who are residents at
the Warde Rehabilitation and Nursing
Center. Sister Amy was a member of the
National Association for Lay Ministry,
Network, the New Hampshire Coalition
Against the Death Penalty, and the
Faith Initiative Committee.
Sister Amy, a strong, kind, loving,
spiritual, and outgoing woman, brought
all these gifts to her life and ministry as
a Sister of Mercy.
Sister Amy is survived by the
members of her Mercy Community,
and her much-loved nephews Matthew,
III, William, Joseph, David, and Daniel
Hoey and their families. She was
predeceased by her brother Matthew
Hoey, Jr.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be
celebrated on Saturday, August 29,
2020 at 11 a.m. at St. Matthew Church,
2 Searles Road, Windham, New
Hampshire. Burial will be at St. Joseph

NARVA, Stephen Ira
Stephen passed away at the age of
64 on Friday, August 21, 2020, from
a traumatic brain injury in his home
in Montclair, New Jersey. He leaves
behind his beloved wife of 34 years,
Sarah Narva; and his adored children,
Jacob Narva, Rachel Slader, and
Kevin Slader. He also leaves behind
his cherished mother, Cyra Narva;
and siblings, Ann Fenton, Nancy Soja,
and Thomas Soja; as well as many
other loving family members. He was
predeceased by his beloved father,
Louis Narva. Steve cherished family
above all else and we miss him.
Stephen was a CPA and executive in
the corrugated business who made his
mark in the industry in more ways than
one, always jumping at any opportunity
to bring his analytical mind to bear. He
was the kind of man who was on the
cover of a trade magazine, then hung
a friend’s photoshop parody of the
cover in his home. He was a deliberate
man who thought things through fully
without taking himself too seriously. He
spent every day as if he was on top of
the world and was excited for things to
come. He loved to golf, especially once
he convinced his wife to golf with him.
He was a force, a huge energy, and a joy
to be around.
His family would like to thank
everyone who has offered their
thoughts and prayers. Graveside service
will be private. In lieu of flowers,
donations may be made in Stephen’s
name to The Alzheimer Foundation,

SCARNICI, Celeste
(Hermes)
Of Braintree and Harwichport, for-
merly of Quincy, passed away peacefully
on August 20, 2020, at the age of 88.
Beloved wife of her late husband Frank
“Paul” Scarnici for 51 years. Loving
mother of Celeste Johnson and her
husband Tobey of Braintree and Paul
Scarnici and his wife Elaine of Franklin.
Daughter of the late Albert and Theresa
(Cremen) Hermes. Devoted sister of
George Hermes and his wife Mary of
Austin, TX, Leon Hermes and his wife
Martha of Oldsmar, FL, and the late
Herbert Hermes and his late wife Jan.
Loving grandmother of Brittany Zahn
and her husband Joshua of Braintree,
Courtney Anderson and her husband
Richard of Watertown and Dillon
Scarnici of Franklin. Also survived by
her adored great-grandchildren Jackson
and Kendall Zahn, and several nieces
and nephews.
Celeste graduated from Quincy
High School Class of 1950 and went
on to graduate from Bentley College in
1955. She was a crossing guard for the
town of Braintree when her children
were young, then became a devoted
employee of G.M. Ridge Corp. as book-
keeper for the Blue Hill Cemetery for
over 40 years.
The love Celeste shared with her hus-
band was like no other, working side by
side building a home in Harwichport
for their family vacations with no fear
of using a hammer and saw. Their
passion for travel took them on many
cruises and yearly vacations in Aruba
with their dear friends and family.
She led an active life skiing, playing
tennis, gardening, swimming, and
taking long walks. There was always a
hobby in the works with another to fol-
low, and nothing she wouldn’t try. For
any spare moment, there was always a
book close at hand and another new re-
lease waiting on a shelf. Celeste shared
her love of activities with her children
thinking nothing of taking a carload of
neighborhood children to ski the White
Mountains of NH or drag a boat trailer
to the lake for a picnic and waterskiing.
Her greatest joy was spending time
with her grandchildren cherishing
her weekly babysitting days and never
missing a sporting event, school presen-
tation, or award ceremony. Her love
of hockey led her to become a Boston
College Hockey season ticket holder,
attending several Frozen Four Tourna-
ments. Her mid-80’s didn’t stop her
from getting on the floor to entertain
her great-grandchildren.
Celeste will be fondly remembered
by all who were blessed to have known
her.
The Service will be private at the
Cartwright-Venuti Funeral Home, 845
Washington St., BRAINTREE, MA
02184, followed by a private Graveside
Service in Mount Wollaston Cemetery,
Quincy, MA. In lieu of flowers, dona-

Geoffrey
Nunberg, 75,
linguist with
an audience
By Richard Sandomir
NEW YORK TIMES
N E W YO R K — G e o ff r e y
Nunberg, a linguist whose ele-
g a n t e s s ay s a n d b o o k s e x -
plained to a general audience
how English has adapted to
changes in politics, popular cul-
ture, and technology, died Aug.
11 at his home in San Francis-
co. He was 75.
Kathleen Miller, his wife,
said the cause was glioblasto-
ma, an aggressive brain cancer.
Mr. Nunberg’s fascination
with the way people communi-
cate found expression in ac-
claimed books like “Going Nuc-
ular: Language, Politics, and
Culture in Confrontational
Times” (2001); in scholarly
work in areas like the relation-
ship between written and spo-
ken language; and in lexicogra-
phy — he was chair of the usage
panel of the American Heritage
Dictionary.
He was one of a small group
of linguists, among them Noam
Chomsky and Steven Pinker, re-
nowned beyond their academic
universes.
“I always saw him as the par-
agon of public intellectualism,”
linguis t Ben Zimmer, who
writes a column on language
for The Wall Street Journal,
wrote in an e-mail. “He was a
lucid, effective communicator
about thorny linguistic issues
for many decades.”
Mr. Nunberg addressed
many of those subjects as a reg-
ular commentator on “Fresh
Air,” the NPR talk show hosted
by Terry Gross. Starting in
1987, he delivered erudite es-
says that explored words like
“disinformation,” “disruption”
and “selfie”; phrases like “tell it
like it is” and “the deep state”;
and broader subjects like the
way millennials speak.
In a “Fresh Air” commentary
last year on the gender-neutral
pronouns used by nonbinary
people, he urged speakers to
“tweak your internal grammar”
to refer to an individual as “they.”
“It takes some practice to get
the hang of it,” he said, “but the
human language processing ca-
pacity is more adaptable than
people realize, even for geezers
like me. As I read through an
article about a nonbinary per-
son who uses ‘they,’ ‘them’ and
‘their,’ the pronouns ultimately
sort themselves out.”
In another NPR essay, he ob-
served that the word “socialism”
has survived as a term of abuse
used against Democrats by Re-
publicans, but has lately lost
some of its political zip because
“the connections to Marxism are
hard to discern” and its power to
slander has diminished.
“Conservatives often seem to
assign magical powers to that
word — call yourself a socialist
and you summon the specter of
Stalin whether you meant to or
not,” he said. “You think you’re
calling for guaranteed health
care, but you’re really calling for
Ray Cave, at 91; influential Time editor who brought magazine into the modern era
By Richard Sandomir
NEW YORK TIMES
NEW YORK — Ray Cave,
who as the managing editor of
Time magazine for eight years
oversaw a revamping of its
stodgy look, introduced new
sections, expanded its lifestyle
coverage, and promoted long-
form single-subject issues like
“Children of War,” died on
Monday at his home in Booth-
bay, Maine. He was 91.
His daughter, C.C. Cave,
confirmed the death.
Mr. Cave became Time's top
editor in the fall of 1977, when
the magazine was still a swag-
gering journalistic force, unim-
peded by competition from the
Internet. Time was the leading
newsweekly when weekly mag-
azines were still flourishing. Its
pages were flush with ads.
“The magazine’s goal,” Mr.
Cave told Ad wee k in 198 3
when it named him “the hot-
test editor” in its annual maga-
zine report, “is to inform the
public, to help our society de-
bate more issues, and on occa-
sion to help shape that debate.”
Under Mr. Cave, there were

gulags and collectivization.”
In a reminiscence on NPR
last week, Gross recalled that
Nunberg was interested in how
y o un g p e o p l e “ c r e at e n e w
words and give old words new
meanings,” but not in “scolding
people for not following the
rules of grammar.”
Geoffrey David Nunberg was
born on June 1, 1945, in Man-
hattan and grew up in Scars-
dale, New York. His mother,
Sally (Sault) Nunberg, was a
teacher, and his father, Jacob
Nunberg, was a commercial
real estate broker.
His parents raised him and
his sister with an “exaggerated
concern” for language, he told
Stanford magazine in 2005. Po-
et Ogden Nash’s light verse and
unconventional rhymes de-
lighted him.
He studied prelaw at Colum-
bia College in the early 1960s
but left to explore drawing at
the Art Students League of New
York. His pursuit of art did not
last long and he returned to Co-
lumbia, where a course on lin-
guistics hooked him.
He later received a master’s
in linguistics from the Universi-
ty of Pennsylvania in 1972 and
a Ph.D. from the City University
of New York in 1978.
He quickly began teaching,
first at the University of Rome
and then at UCLA, and at Stan-
ford University, where he was a
professor from 1988 to 2004.
During that time he was also a
research scientist at a think
tank, the Xerox Palo Alto Re-
search Center. In 2005, he
joined the University of Califor-
nia, Berkeley, where he taught
in the school of information.
The rigor that characterized
Mr. Nunberg’s academic re-
search also fueled his writing
and commentary on popular
subjects.
In the title essay of “Going
Nucular,” he pondered why
President George W. Bush pro-
nounced “nuclear” that way. He
suggested that Bush knew the
right pronunciation (perhaps
having learned it from his fa-
ther, President George H.W.
Bush) but had picked up the
wrong one from “Pentagon
wiseguys” or used it as a “faux
bubba thing ” to tweak the
“Eastern dweebs” he had
known when he attended Phil-
lips Academy and Yale.
In addition to his wife, Mr.
Nunberg is survived by his sis-
ter, Barbara Nunberg, and his
daughter, Sophie Nunberg. His
marriage to Anne Fougeron
ended in divorce.
more lifestyle cover articles on
subjects like cats, ice cream,
and cholesterol; new sections
like American Scene, Comput-
ers, Video, and Food; and, in
1982, the anointing of the Ma-
chine of the Year (the personal
computer), a departure from
the traditional Man or Woman
of the Year (now Person of the
Year) issue.
Single-subject issues includ-
ed in-depth looks at Japan and
prisons. “Children of War” was
a 25,000-word article in 1982
by essayist Roger Rosenblatt
about the lives of children in
five war zones.
Intensely competitive, Mr.
Cave learned in early 1978 that
Newsweek, its chief rival, was
going to publish excerpts in
successive issues from the
memoirs of H.R. Haldeman,
President Richard Nixon’s dis-
graced chief of staff, who had
served 18 months in prison for
his role in the Watergate scan-
dal.
Mr. Cave countered with a
cover article about Muhammad
Ali (who had recently lost his
heavyweight title), followed by

Angela Buxton, set interracial example in tennis
By Matt Schudel
WASHINGTON POST
WASHINGTON — Angela
Buxton, who broke racial barri-
ers in the 1950s by forging a
friendship and a formidable
tennis partnership with Althea
Gibson, the first Black player to
win a championship at a major
international tournament, has
died at her home in Pompano
Beach, Fla. She was 85.
Her death was announced
by the Women’s Tennis Associ-
ation, which said she died Aug.
14. Other sources gave the date
of death as Aug. 15. The cause
was not reported.
Gibson and Ms. Buxton
were an early example of inter-
racial harmony in sports, creat-
ing a dominant team to win the
women’s doubles titles at the
French and Wimbledon tennis
championships in 1956.
Both women were consid-
ered outcasts in the genteel,
mostly white sport of tennis.
Ms. Buxton, who was British,
had been denied membership
and practice time at tennis
clubs from London to Los An-
geles because she was Jewish.
‘‘ The Southport club [in
England] wouldn’t let me prac-
tice there,’’ Ms. Buxton told
Britain’s Telegraph newspaper
in 2019, ‘‘even though I was
No. 1 in England, so a member
took me there as his guest. I
took great delight in winning
their tournament. As I rose up
the rankings, the girls on the
circuit ignored me . . . they nev-
er once invited me to join them
for a meal.’’
Gibson, who grew up in
New York’s Harlem neighbor-
hood, had a much harder
struggle as the first Black play-
er, male or female, to appear in
any of tennis’s major interna-
tional tournaments, when she
competed in 1950 in what is
now called the US Open. The
two players met in 1955 while
on tour in India.
Ms. Buxton’s coach, Clar-
e n c e ‘ ‘J i m m y ’ ’ Jo n e s , a p -
proached Gibson, who had a
difficult time finding a doubles
partner because of her race
and sometimes brusque man-
ner, and asked if she would
want Ms. Buxton as a partner.
Shunned by other players, Ms.
Buxton and Gibson formed a
powerful and, for a brief time,
unbeatable team.
‘‘It never entered my head
to do anything else except be-
friend her because we got on so
well from the word go,’’ Ms.
Buxton told the Philadelphia
Inquirer in 2006. ‘‘She was
much warmer than the English
people. . . . We hit it off very
well.’’
In February 1956 they won
the French indoor doubles ti-
tle. That May, at the outdoor
French Championships (now
the French Open) in Paris, they
were inseparable on the court
and off.
‘‘It was Angela and Althea,
Althea and Angela, everywhere
you looked,’’ author Bruce
Schoenfeld wrote in his 2004
book ‘‘The Match: Althea Gib-
son and a Portrait of a Friend-
ship.’’ ‘‘They were pictured din-
ing together in a magazine
one the next week about super-
model Cheryl Tiegs. The Tiegs
issue became one of Time’s all-
time bestsellers.
Ray Charles Cave was born
Ray Roberts on May 27, 1929,
in Tacoma. His father, also
named Ray, was an assistant
district attorney in Tacoma
who died in a car crash in 1933.
His mother, Agnes (Hansen)
Roberts, later married John
Cave, a career military officer;
he adopted Ray, who took his
stepfather’s surname. Ray’s
mother had been a bookkeeper
and model at a local newspaper
before her first marriage, and
in the 1950s she edited text-
books.
After graduating from St.
John’s College in Annapolis,
Md., in 1949, Mr. Cave became
a reporter for The Southern
Maryland Times. He then spent
eight years as a reporter and
editor at The Baltimore Eve-
ning Sun, interrupting his ca-
reer to serve in Army counter-
intelligence in Japan and Korea
from 1952 to 1954.
He joined Sports Illustrated,

laughing as if they were in on a
joke that the rest of the world
didn’t understand.’’
Their friendship was ce-
mented during the women’s
singles semifinals, when they
were competing against each
other on opposite sides of the
net. Late in the third and deci-
sive set, Gibson’s bra strap
broke. The crowd began to hol-
ler and whistle.
Ms. Buxton ran to Gibson’s
side of the court, embracing
her to keep her from being ex-
posed. They walked together to
the locker room, where Gibson
changed her bra.
‘‘I felt for Althea,’’ Ms. Bux-
ton told Schoenfeld for his
book. ‘‘I wanted her to do well
nearly as badly as I wanted to
do well myself.’’
When they returned to the
court, some officials called on
Gibson to forfeit the match be-
cause she had left before it was
completed and had received
aid from another person. Ms.
Buxton refused to claim victory
on a technicality and demand-
ed that the match be resumed.
Gibson went on to capture
the final set, 6-4, and advanced
to the finals. She defeated Brit-
a i n’s A n g e l a Mo r t i m e r i n
straight sets to become the first
Black player to win a major
tennis championship. The next
day, Gibson and Ms. Buxton
won the women’s doubles title.
In the 1956 Wimbledon
championships, Ms. Buxton
made the finals in the women’s
singles, only to lose to Ameri-
can Shirley Fry. After beating
Fry and her partner, Louise
Brough, in the semifinals, Ms.
Buxton and Gibson swept past
Australians Fay Muller and
Daphne Seeney in the finals,
6-1 and 8-6, to win the doubles
title.
It was the last time the two
would play together. Early in
1957, a serious wrist injury
forced Ms. Buxton to retire
from tennis at 22. That year,
Gibson won both the Wimble-
don and US singles champion-
by Time Inc., in 1959, starting
as a reporter and then turning
to editing, which he preferred.
He edited a seminal series by
Jack Olsen in 1968 about Black
athletes and a previously un-
published nonfiction manu-
script by Ernest Hemingway
about a Kenyan safari; it ran in
three issues in 1971.
“I don’t think you can over-
state how important Ray Cave
was in the evolution of Sports
Illustrated becoming what it
was by the early 1970s — one of
the best-written, best-edited
magazines in America,” Mi-
chael MacCambridge, author of
“The Franchise: A History of
Sports Illustrated Magazine”
(1997), said in an interview.
By 1974, Mr. Cave had be-
come a trusted deputy of its
longtime managing editor, An-
dre Laguerre. But after La-
guerre retired, it was Roy Ter-
rell who succeeded him, not
Mr. Cave.
“SI gets a new editor,” Mr.
Cave wrote to his children in a
career reminiscence several
years ago. “Miffed. Should have
been me.”
ships, the first Black person to
win either title. She repeated
the feat in 1958.
‘‘On court she was very sim-
ilar to Venus Williams,’’ Ms.
B ux t o n t o l d t h e G u a rd ia n
newspaper in 2003. ‘‘She had
the same look of disdain. You
didn’t really know what was
going on in her head. She was
very tall and she was like a spi-
der at the net — very difficult
to pass or to lob. She was in-
timidating, just like Venus.
And her expression never
changed until the last ball had
been hit.’’
Gibson was at the peak of
her abilities in 1958 when she
retired from tennis, which at
the highest level was strictly an
amateur sport at the time. To-
day, players receive millions of
dollars for winning Wimble-
don or the US Open. Gibson
and Ms. Buxton got nothing
but acclaim.
‘‘They were teaching the
world to do the right thing, no
matter what,’’ tennis star Billie
Jean King said in a 2013 docu-
mentary, ‘‘Althea and Angela: A
Perfect Match.’’

Aug. 16, 1934, in Liverpool,
England. Her father owned a

moved with her mother and
brother to South Africa, where
she took up tennis and be-
friended Black children — and
developed an early sense of ra-
cial injustice after she was
chastised by white neighbors.
Returning to Britain after
the war, Ms. Buxton became
one of the country’s top play-
ers. In the early 1950s, she and
her mother moved to Los An-
geles and lived near the Los
Angeles Tennis Club, only to be
denied membership because
they were Jewish.
Ms. Buxton then trained at
a public park under the tute-
lage of Bill Tilden, the preemi-
nent men’s player of the 1920s
— who was also a social outcast
after having been jailed for mo-
lesting teenage boys.

He joined Time as an assis-
tant managing editor in 1976
and, a year later, was the sur-
prise choice as managing edi-
tor, succeeding Henry A. Grun-
wald. Jason McManus, another
editor at Time, had been ex-
pected to get the job.
“This time the other guy was
miffed,” Mr. Cave wrote.
Mr. Cave had strong feelings
about how Time should look.
At Sports Illustrated, he had
mastered production tech-
niques that filled pages with
color photography on tight
deadlines. He brought the
same skills to improving Time’s
photography.
And he was the Time editor
most closely involved in its re-
design in 1977, working with
the renowned newspaper and
magazine designer Walter Ber-
nard. Bernard adopted a bolder
use of informational graphics,
photography, and conceptual
cover art and a uniform head-
line typeface.
Mr. Cave “was a no-non-
sense guy who encouraged me
to argue with him,” said Ber-
nard, who stayed at Time as art

ended, Ms. Buxton opened a
tennis academy in London and
became a well-regarded jour-
nalist and the author of several
books on tennis tactics.
In 1959 she married Donald
Silk, president of the Zionist
Federation of Great Britain.
They had three children and,
in the late 1960s, lived for a
time on a kibbutz in Israel. The
couple later divorced, after
which Ms. Buxton had a long
relationship with Jones, her
former coach, until his death in
1986.
Ms. Buxton’s two sons pre-
deceased her. Survivors in-
clude a daughter.
For years, Ms. Buxton divid-
ed her time between Florida
and England. She periodically
stayed in touch with Gibson,
who had a short career in pro-
fessional golf and later became
a tennis coach and a public rec-
reation official in New Jersey.
In 1995, a destitute and ail-
ing Gibson called Ms. Buxton
on the telephone.
‘‘She said she was calling to
say goodbye,’’ Ms. Buxton re-
called in a 2019 interview with
the New York Times. ‘‘She said
she was going to kill herself. I
said, ‘Now, wait just a minute.’”
Ms. Buxton wrote an article
for a tennis magazine, pleading
for help from Gibson’s fans. Al-
most immediately, checks be-
gan to arrive — hundreds of
thousands of dollars, in all.
Gibson was able to live in com-
fort until her death at age 76 in
2003.
‘‘My legacy is definitely anti-
racism because I was playing
with a Black player who the au-
dience didn’t really want to
see,’’ Ms. Buxton said in the
2013 documentary.
She became Gibson’s tire-
less champion, seeking to keep
her memory alive. Last year
she was invited to the unveil-
ing of a statue honoring Gibson
at the US Open in Flushing
Meadows in New York City.
When she saw the bust of her
old friend and doubles partner,
Ms. Buxton delivered a volley
that could not be returned:

ously, the art department kept
quiet. It was ‘yes sir, no sir’
with the managing editor. But

In addition to his daughter,
Mr. Cave leaves his son, Jon; his
stepbrothers, Jon and Christo-
pher Cave; and a granddaugh-
ter. His marriage to Katherine
Mumford ended in divorce. Pa-
tricia Ryan, his second wife,
who died in 2013, was the
managing editor of People and
Life magazines. They met at
Sports Illustrated.
After running Time for eight
years, Ray Cave was appointed
corporate editor of the maga-
zine’s parent, Time Inc., in
1985; a year later, he was pro-
moted to editorial director, the
second-highest-ranking edito-
rial job in the company. But he
left in 1988, unhappy that he
had not been named editor-in-
chief — a promotion that went
to McManus — and unable to
reach an agreement on what
role he would play at the com-
pany until his retirement at 65.

It’s not just Nabel

Why Boston’s hospital CEOs don’t
belong on corporate boards
Larry Edelman
It’s time for the executives who run
some of Boston’s elite hospitals to be
weaned off the cushy money they make
moonlighting as board directors for corpo-
rate America.
You can understand the appeal of sitting
on an outside board. Public companies paid
directors a median of $208,000 in cash and
stock in 2018, according to the most recent
compensation survey by the National Asso-
ciation of Corporate Directors and consul-
tants Pearl Meyer & Partners. Some compa-
nies dole out more than $400,000 a year.
That’s for 25 days or so of work a year.
It’s good money for nonprofit hospital
leaders, who are well compensated but
make nowhere near what most corporate
chief executives bring home, thanks to the
widespread use of stock options and grants
at public companies. Yet it’s small change
for a big drug company or medical device
maker looking for the credibility and con-
nections that comes with having a presti-
gious hospital honcho among its directors.

Experts say Headspace’s science

Experts question the scientific grounding of Headspace app

ton. “But I don’t think we’ve
seen rigorous, high-quality, re-
producible research.”
A smattering of studies in-
dicate Headspace can help
people feel more positive and
less stressed, among other
benefits. The company doesn’t
clai m the app can treat or
manage any medical condi-
tions. But with Headspace
landing new corporate con-
tracts, some experts say they’re
worried that a growing num-
ber of companies might be re-
lying too heavily on Headspace
in lieu of other support for
more serious mental health
conditions like anxiety and de-
pression — particularly during
the pandemic, when rates of
both appear to be climbing.
“I do have concerns that
mindfulness programs, and es-
pecially mindfulness apps, are
seen by organizations as a
cheap and easy win when it
comes to employee and stu-
de nt w elfar e co mp ar ed to
more expensive — but possibly
more effective — structural
changes in their organiza-
tions,” said psychologist Chris
Noone, who does research on
well-being interventions at the
National University of Ireland
Galway.
In a sea of mental health
and mindfulness apps, Head-
space stands out as one of only
a few that has put its product
to the scientific test. Head-
space has partnered over the
years with a number of outside
researchers, and also boasts its
own six-person “science team”
that studies how well the app
works.
The app offers guided medi-
tation sessions in which users
learn to “tame” their mind’s
natural restlessness and devel-
op focus. Many modules are
designed with specific goals,
whether that’s sleeping better
or getting a handle on stress.
Pointing to 25 peer-reviewed
publications, Megan Jones
Bell, chief strategy and science
officer of Headspace, said in an
e-mail that the app has been
shown to improve focus and
happiness, as well as reduce
stress, burnout, and aggres-
sion. Headspace has also said
there is preliminary evidence
to suggest the app can ease
anxiety and depression.
Outside experts say Head-
space deserves credit for the
data it has collected. But the
quality and consistency of the
findings — as well as the scope
of the research — doesn’t yet
line up with the hype the app
has received.
Earlier this year, research-
ers at the University of Wash-
ington School of Medicine and
Seattle Children’s Research In-
stitute conducted a literature
review combing through the
evidence on a slew of mental
health and stress management
apps, including Headspace.
The researchers turned up
more peer-reviewed evidence
for Headspace than any other
product.
But the authors found the
eight Headspace studies
turned up inconsistent results:
Some showed improved posi-
tive affect, satisfaction with
life, and resilience, while oth-
ers found no significant effect
in these areas. Others couldn’t
identify significant changes in
compassion or anxiety, both of
which Headspace claims to im-
pact on its website. Six of the
eight studies involving Head-
space in the review also includ-
ed fewer than 100 people.
“When you have these small
studies, there’s a lot of random
effects that can show up,” Tor-
ous said. “I think that the fact
that we’re seeing contradictory
findings just tells us that we
need larger, higher quality
studies.”
Jones Bell of Headspace
said the company hasn’t seen
mixed results for any of its pri-
mary outcomes, such as stress,
happiness, or resilience, nor
from its other “well-done, ap-
propriately powered” studies.
She also noted that Headspace
has 50 ongoing clinical re-
search studies conducted by
external partners, which in-
clude the University of Califor-
nia San Francisco, Carnegie-
Mellon, and the UK‘s National
Health Ser vice. Nine have
more than 500 participants,
she said.
“We are committed to ad-
vancing the science on digital
health and happiness interven-
tions — and this means doing
research that may not always
s h o w a n i m p a c t f o r He a d -
space,” Jones Bell said, adding
that the company “empowers”
its academic partners to pub-
lish their findings.
“We believe that being fully
transparent is essential to con-
sumer trust. If we aren’t doing
research that shows null ef-
fects, we aren’t challenging
ourselves and advancing the
field,” she said.
But outside e xper ts say
there are still significant gaps
in the research around Head-
space — specifically when it
comes to how the studies are
designed.
Many of the studies the
company touts as success sto-
ries use patients who received
no initial treatment at all as a
control group, experts said.
Those studies might show that
Headspace is better than noth-
ing.
But they aren’t designed to
demonstrate whether the app’s
proposed active ingredient —
mindfulness — is driving the
difference in outcomes, or
whether the placebo effect is at
play.
James Coyne, a longtime
psychology researcher and
professor emeritus at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, said
the placebo effect is likely to be
particularly strong with Head-
space.
“The issue is that people re-
ally want it — it’s a commercial
product. And when they get a
chance to be in a study where
they get access to it for free,
they approach it with a lot of
expectations of getting some-
thing special,” he said.
These expectations — or
“goodies,” as he calls them —
can influence outcomes. They
need to be controlled in order
for a study to give a real sense
of whether the intervention
works.
In a 2018 study of Head-
space, researchers at the Na-
tional University of Ireland
took that approach and gave a
control group access to a
“sham meditation,” the virtual
equivalent of a placebo pill.
The sham treatment, designed
to look exactly like the Head-
space app, simply instructed
participants to close their eyes
and breathe. The actual Head-
space meditation gave users
guidance on how to focus their
attention and inhibit instinc-
tive reactions.
The study didn’t find any
difference between the sham
group and the treatment group
when it came to the primary
outcomes of critical thinking
and executive functioning, nor
in the secondary outcomes of
emotional experience or well-
being.
“There wasn’t anything spe-
cial about the mindfulness in-
tervention that they weren’t al-
so getting from the sham medi-
tation.”
Jones Bell said a forthcom-
ing study, led by Carnegie Mel-
lon, will “help us isolate Head-
space’s active ingredient with
much more precision than the
study by Dr. Chris Noone,” she
said.
Other studies have tried to
close in on Headspace’s active
ingredient by giving the con-
trol group an alternative inter-
vention, such as listening to an
audiobook on meditation, but
experts said those aren’t close
enough to the app to serve as a
meaningful comparison.
That’s what made the find-
ings from Noone and his col-
leagues so striking, experts
said.
“People believed that they
would get the real thing when
they got a fake intervention,”
Coyne said. “When it couldn’t
be shown to be different, that
was devastating. I thought that
should have been a major em-
barrassment to Headspace.”
As Headspace’s footprint
continues to grow, experts said
it’s critical for companies —
and individual users — to con-
sider what Headspace can and
can’t do.
There likely isn’t any harm
to providing employees or stu-
dents access to the app. But if
that offering takes the place of
other care or support systems
a person might need, it could
present a problem, experts
said.
“ You have to think about
the opportunity cost of some-
body doing a mindfulness
meditation or someone doing a
Headspace app. Does that
mean that they’re doing that
instead of, say, doing a CBT
program?” Noone asked.
The company doesn’t claim
the app can treat any condi-
tions. But anxiety is especially
prominent on Headspace’s
website, which has a dedicated
page explaining different anxi-
ety disorders and pointing
readers toward Headspace’s
anxiety course — “a series of
meditations over 30 days that
offers a different perspective
on anxiety while providing
tips, techniques, and insight
for managing it.”
“Headspace especially
doesn’t say it’s a mental health
app, but it’s certainly adver-
tised that way,” said Jessica
D’Arcey, a graduate student at
the University of Toronto who
studies digital aids for patients
with psychosis.
D’Arcey said the problem
with mentioning those condi-
tions in the marketing materi-
als is that the app has largely
been tested only in the general
population, rather than among
people with symptoms severe
enough to meet the clinical
definitions for certain mental
health conditions. She said it’s
critical to have randomized,
controlled trials with partici-
pants who have actually expe-
rienced those mental health
challenges.
Another reason it’s crucial
to be careful about how the
app is presented to the public:
Mindfulness, while it can be
helpful, isn’t a standalone skill.
In therapy, D’Arcey said, mind-
fulness is taught alongside oth-
er skills — all with the guid-
ance of a professional.
“If you are handing this app
to a patient and giving them
the expectation that this is the
end-all be-all therapy while
we’re in a pandemic and not
able to receive care as usual, it
sets expectations that are un-
realistic and unethical,” she
said.
Jo n e s B e l l e m p h a s i z e d
Headspace isn’t designed to
treat or manage any medical
condition, nor is it designed to
replace professional care. But
she added that even so, a self-
help tool or app can help pre-
vent the onset — or slow the
progression — of common
mental health conditions.
“This is a both-and prob-
lem,” Jones Bell wrote. “ We
need to ensure swift access to
high-quality specialized care
for those in need — and meet
swelling demand with scalable
evidence-based approaches
like Headspace.”
She added that the compa-
ny has been careful to make
sure none of its marketing
claims or statements mislead
consumers.
Still, experts said there’s a
need to temper some of the ex-
citement around the mental
health app space as a whole
while the research catches up.
“There’s good evidence . . .
that using these apps as stand-
alone, self-help treatment is
not effective. And there’s good
evidence that it’s not engag-
ing,” Torous said. Many users
who start using mental health
apps like Headspace simply
don’t stick to them. One study
published in 2019 found that a
median 4.7 percent of mindful-
ness app users were still using
the tools after 30 days.
“ We really have to think
twice about what we’re giving
to people,” he said. “We proba-
bly have to make sure things
work a little bit better before
providing them as big and pop-
ulation-level solutions.”

clinical trial co-led by Brigham’s
Dr. Lindsey Baden. Nabel knew
weeks before the study was an-
nounced July 27 that Baden
would be a co-principal investi-
gator; she stepped down from
the Moderna board July 30.
“Despite the management
plans that have been put in place
to ensure the COVID-19 vaccine
study is not compromised due to
my connection with Moderna, I
have come to realize that those
who do not know me, or how
such trials are conducted, may
perceive a conflict of interest,”
Nabel said in a statement when
she resigned.
People who do know Nabel,
68, and a cardiologist by train-
ing, call her a “Girl Scout” and
“straight-shooter,” a woman ded-
icated to science who would nev-
er undermine public health or
her hospital for money. But with
billions of dollars at stake for
Moderna, she should have quit
the board when it became clear
Baden would play a pivotal role
in the trial. The appearance of a
conflict of interest is, practically
speaking, as bad as an actual
conflict.
Nabel declined through a
spokeswoman to be interviewed

could cause.
In 2016, a year after Nabel
was tapped by the National Foot-
ball League to be its chief health
and medical adviser, a Democrat-
ic congressional report said she
contacted the National Institutes
of Health when the league “im-
properly attempted to influence”
the selection of researchers for a
landmark concussion study.
Nabel, who said at the time
that she remained neutral during
the NIH’s selection process,
wasn’t accused of wrongdoing.
But the incident raised many
eyebrows, and it should have
been a yellow flag for trustees
that Brigham and Women’s im-
age could be dinged by their
president’s outside jobs.
Neither the NFL nor Nabel
ARAM BOGHOSIAN FOR STAT/FILE
have disclosed how much she
made for her consulting work,
which largely wrapped up in
2017. Her third paid
extracurricular, a board seat at
medical device manufacturer
Medtronic, yielded her $385,000
in cash and stock options in the
past fiscal year, while she
received $487,000 from
Moderna.
Between the two boards,
that’s nearly $875,000 in one
year; at the Brigham, Nabel’s
base salary and bonus totaled
$1.85 million in 2018, the latest
year for which her compensation
is public.
So it’s obvious what Nabel
and her Boston counterparts —
whose base pay and bonus
ranged from $1.3 million to
more than $2 million — get from
their outside board work. But
what about their hospitals?
Where’s the quo for their quid?
“These interactions allow for
the exchange of cutting-edge sci-
entific expertise, support the es-
tablishment of research collabora-
tions and foster translation of sci-
hospitals. How much of this
could they achieve without
exposing their CEOs to potential
conflicts of interest? A lot. The
corporate suits are getting the
better deal than the white coat
folks.
There are some institutions
that agree. Beth Israel Lahey
Health prohibits its president
from serving on for-profit
boards. And plenty of nonprofit
hospital CEOs that would be
considered a big catch currently
don’t do public board work,
including those at Boston
Medical Center and UMass
Memorial locally, and the
Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins
Hospital, and New York
Presbyterian Hospital.
Beth Israel Lahey’s approach
should be formally adopted by all
nonprofit health care systems.
Such a move would underscore
hospital leaders’ dedication to
patient care, medical training,
and research, and would help
shield their reputations — and
those of their institutions — from
accusations that they care more
about money than patients.
It will never happen. The
CEOs think it’s good business,
they like the dough, and the
trustees have their backs.
And that’s a shame, too.

ERIN CLARK / GLOBE STAFF
As South Carolina Governor
Henry McMaster prepared to an-
nounce the end of a coronavirus
stay-at-home order, his top staff re-
ceived an e-mail from the state
health department.
The message, highlighted in
bold, was clear: Wait longer before
allowing customers back inside res-
taurants, hair salons, and other
businesses where people will be in
close contact.
Instead, McMaster pressed
ahead with a plan written by the
state restaurant association to re-
sume inside dining on May 11. The
guidelines made masks optional for
employees and allowed more cus-
tomers inside than the health agen-
cy had advised.
A few days later, the Republican
governor opened the doors to sa-
lons, fitness centers, and swimming
pools. He did not wait to gauge the
effect of the restaurant reopening
on the virus, as public health offi-
cials had suggested. Like many
states, South Carolina later experi-
enced a surge in infections that
forced McMaster to dial back his re-
opening plan.
He was hardly alone. Thousands
of pages of e-mails provided to the
Associated Press under open-re-
cords laws show that governors
across the country were inundated
with reopening advice from a wide
range of industries — from camp-
grounds in New Hampshire to car
washes in Washington. Some gover-
nors put economic interests ahead
of public health guidance, and cer-
tain businesses were allowed to
write the rules that would govern
their own operations.
As job losses accelerated, the
pressure to reopen intensified.
“Attraction folks are on me like
white on rice,” McMaster’s tourism
director wrote to the head of the
governor’s reopening task force, de-
scribing lobbying from amusement
parks, bingo halls and other enter-
tainment venues.
Though governors often work
with business leaders to craft poli-
cy, the e-mails offer a new window
into their decisions during a critical
early juncture in the nation’s battle
against the pandemic. Many gover-
nors chose to reopen before their
states met all the nationally recom-
mended health guidelines, which
include a sustained downward rate
of infection and robust testing and
contact tracing.
Many states were forced to halt
or roll back their reopening plans
as COVID-19 cases spiked across
the country this summer, and the
number of infections and deaths in
the U.S. far outpaced those of any
other country.
In early August , McMaster
transformed his restaurant guide-
lines into requirements, including a
mandate that all diners and em-
ployees wear masks. The governor’s
spokesman, Brian Symmes, said
“some restaurants weren’t doing
what they needed to do.”

A cross-continental venture, to a rock backbeat

uBAND
Continued from Page D1
The two men met about 16
years ago when O’Donnell was
running a New Hampshire re-
cording studio in a previous ca-
reer. Hallen came in for a session,
and they hit it off. They saw each
other again when Hallen showed
up as part of the band that — un-
beknownst to him — was playing
O’Donnell’s wedding.
Years later, O’Donnell called
Hallen on a whim to ask him to
jam on Jimi Hendrix songs.
Soon, O’Donnell told Hallen
about his original music.
No less than his singing, song-
writing, and guitar contribu-
tions, O’Donnell’s day job has af-
forded the band a deep knowl-
edge of how to find an audience.
“These days, the biggest stage
really is social media. And artists
have to go out and build their
own stage,” O’Donnell said. “That
can be millions of people.”
Even before COVID-19, The
Providers never intended to tour
or play live gigs regularly. O’Don-
nell and Hallen brought in other
musicians to flesh out their re-
cordings in studios around the
Boston area, and they wouldn’t be
able to recreate the sound onstage
without more members. But these
days, with the right tools, a couple
of guys playing part time together
can make a name for themselves
without touring, radio play, or a
record label.
The pandemic has actually
played to the band’s strengths.
It’s released five songs recorded
last year, three of which have
more than million views on You-
Tube. One track, “All I Know,” has
been seen 5.5 million times. With
more classic rock fans at home
and online — like everybody else
— The Providers say it was a little
bit easier to find their niche.
Another song, “Start to Love,”
with a message of unity and
equality, has attracted nearly 1
million views since the band re-
leased a video last month illus-
trated with images from the pro-
tests over racial injustice.
“We felt that this song was re-
ally viable now, as a message of
comfort to the people who actu-
ally understand that concept,
and, hopefully, a gentle message
to the people who don’t under-
stand it,” Hallen said.
Figuring out a niche in today’s
diffuse music market is a little eas-
ier when you’ve got a mastery of
content marketing. O’Donnell’s
used some of skills he’s polished at
HubSpot to target specific audi-
ences — even down to individual
fans — based on their age, location
and taste in music. The band is al-
so using software tools to make
one-on-one connections at scale
through platforms such as Whats-
App and Facebook.
The result has been a blossom-
ing audience in unlikely places
such as Brazil, where there’s a big
appetite for the kind of anthemic
classic rock that The Providers’
music evokes. “It’s actually been a
great test bed for what I do at
work,” O’Donnell said.
For now, the project is still
primarily a labor of love for
O’Donnell and Hallen, who spent
a big chunk of his self-imposed
pandemic isolation practicing
and posting Facebook videos that
pay tribute to legendary bass
players such as Tommy Cogbill
and James Jamerson.
The relatively high volume of
listeners The Providers have gen-
erated produces some revenue
from online platforms — they
take home a slightly bigger cut as
independent artists — but it’s not
enough to cover the cost of re-
cording and marketing the mu-
sic. The goal, they said, is to get
enough exposure that they can
develop a trade in selling mer-
chandise, and potentially licens-
ing their songs.
“It may seem like what I do is
different from what Brad does,
but particularly when we’re
working together it’s really a sim-
ilar challenge,” O’Donnell said.
“It’s getting amazing people into
the room and coming up with a
shared vision.”

The Republican National Convention airs Monday through Thursday nights.
What’s coming up: from the RNC to the VMAs
1. it’s the republicans’ turn this week, from
Monday through thursday nights, with both vir-
tual material and a few live events taking place
in charlotte. the details of the schedule for the
Republican National Convention are still un-
clear, as the roster continues to develop and as
President trump tries to avoid pre-recorded ad-
dresses in order to create a ratings blockbuster
with the help of two “apprentice” producers.
Here’s what we know: the roll call to re-nomi-
nate trump will be Monday, Melania trump will
speak tuesday from the White House rose gar-
den, Vice President Pence will talk on Wednes-
day, and the president, who is expected to speak
each night, will give his acceptance speech on
thursday from the White House. also on the
docket: four of trump’s children (ivanka, don-
ald jr., eric, and, yes, tiffany); Mark and Patricia
Mccloskey, the st. louis couple who waved guns
at Black lives Matter protesters; and nick sand-
mann, the kentucky teen whose stare down with
a native american protester went viral. you’ll be
able to watch all or portions of the convention
on the networks, cable news channels, and on-
line.
2. the vivid, thought-provoking, challenging
HBo series “I May Destroy You” finishes its first
season on Monday at 9 p.m. it has been one of
the year’s best and most powerful shows so far,
taking on various kinds of sexual trauma within
the context of a group of well-drawn characters
in london. Written by, co-directed by, and star-
ring Michaela coel, it is, without a doubt, one of
the most intricate and humane tV portrayals of
sexual assault i’ve seen. it’s a groundbreaking
model of how to honor the complexities of the
subject without succumbing to lecture, exploita-
tion, or lifetime-like glibness.

3. the MTV Video Music Awards is due sun-
day at 8 p.m., although some of the plans were in
flux due to coVid-19 concerns. Performances
will take play at outdoor locations around new
york city with limited or no audiences, after the
original plans to have a socially distanced event
at Brooklyn’s Barclays center were scrapped.
among those set to perform: lady gaga, ariana
grande, the Weeknd, Bts, doja cat, Black eyed
Peas, and Miley cyrus, with more performers to
be announced in the coming days. keke Palmer
is hosting, and, for the first time, the event will
be simulcast on a broadcast network, the cW.
4. on thursday, HBo Max is premiering a six-
episode British comedy series called “Pure,”
based on the memoir by rose cartwright. it fol-
lows 24-year-old Marnie (charly clive), who has
a painful form of obsessive compulsive disorder
— nicknamed Pure o — where her obsessions
take the form of intrusive sexual thoughts. When
it premiered in the uk last year, the guardian
wrote, “it is bravely and expertly done.”
5. this one is studded with stars. “Women in
Film Presents: Make It Work!” is an hour-long
variety special in support of getting women and
women of color back in the entertainment work-
force as it is rebuilt during the pandemic. airing

a spark — and a relationship
Q. i’m a 25-year-old gay man. i’ve dated, but no
long-term relationship, yet.
recently, a tinder match and i hit it off pret-
ty quickly. We decided to meet, in spite of what-
ever coronavirus fears either of us had.
He was fantastic: handsome, kind, funny,
successful, my own age, and local. He wasn’t
afraid to talk about wanting to have a family
someday, which is important to me.
i usually only go out with someone from tin-
der once or twice before one of us decides it
won’t work, but this match and i went out five
times within a month. i thought we might have
something good going!
after the last time we went out, though, he
told me he thought we were looking for differ-
ent things, and that while he thought i was a
nice guy, he didn’t think we were a match.
now i can’t seem to shake the thought of
him. a month isn’t a very long time, but i like
him better than i have liked anyone else before.
unwanted messages would only push him fur-
ther away, but i want so badly to ask for another
chance.
What’s the etiquette around that? should i
wait a certain amount of time before reaching
out again? (six months? a year?) or just forget
about it?
Woefully ineXPerienced
A. first, let’s add coVid to the list of things a
person should be tested for when choosing to
meet and date a new person. i won’t lecture you
about your choice, but, well, it’s a roll of the
dice.
your dating experience is extremely com-
mon, and the answer is for you to glean whatev-
er lessons you can, and then move on with a de-
termination to apply those lessons the next time
you match with someone. one thing you’ve
learned is how it feels to be really interested in
someone. that is a plus!
it is possible that you did everything right
and your date was being completely honest
with you regarding his choice to part. it is also
possible that he continued to match with other
people while you two were seeing each other
and he simply met a new person that he pre-
ferred over you.
this is tough to take, but human attraction
defies logic, which is what makes it seem so
magical.
your friend has made his choice and he has
been kind about conveying it to you.
there is no etiquette surrounding asking
someone for a second chance, partly because —
in this context — you really should not do it
(certainly not right away). if you continue to
feel this way after several months, then you
could get in touch to check in and see how he is
doing (don’t ask outright for a second chance).
Based on his response, you would know quickly
if the dynamic had shifted.
Q. i’m a 55-year-old man. after no contact
for 13 years, three years ago i reconnected with
my ex-wife. We started hanging out, going out
and spending time together. last month, i
moved into her house. this week, she told me
she has no interest in sexual intimacy. i’ve been
sleeping in a separate room. i love and care
about her, but i still need and desire sexual inti-
macy.
i’m so disappointed and depressed. i’ve
spent over $6,500 on her place since i moved
back. i wonder if i’m in savior mode. i don’t
want to spend the rest of my life frustrated.
How do i get past this without hurting her
and ruining my (great) relationship with our
two kids (in their 20s)?
Worried
A. you have happily reconnected with your fam-
ily, but if you are depressed and unhappy living
in the household, then you should move out —
but stay connected.
you and your ex seem to have previously sev-
ered all ties for over a decade, but i hope you
have learned that you two are capable of main-
taining a loving friendship. you should do this,
however, from a distance.
Q. i couldn’t believe the letter from “Making
change,” the poor little snowflake who didn’t
like an “underground railroad” game she
played in gym class years ago.
doesn’t she know that the underground
railroad assisted escaping slaves? Will she be
happy when she gets this teacher fired?
disgusted
A. “Making change,” a Phd candidate, was well
aware of the importance of the underground
railroad. in retrospect, she objected to this
dangerous, heartbreaking, and important his-
torical experience being gamified, and i com-
pletely agree with her.
