Tufts
Medicine
asks state
for help
Struggling health system
faces deadline on default
By Jessica Bartlett
GLOBE STAFF

In a state dominated by health care giants,

Tufts Medicine has struggled to compete. Amid
operating losses, it announced the elimination
of more than 200 positions earlier this year.
Now, the system is asking the state for fund-
ing as it confronts some of its most serious fi-
nancial challenges yet — an urgent need to im-
prove its operations to avoid defaulting on an
$800.8 million agreement with bond holders. If
the system fails to meet required metrics by the
end of September, bondholders could bring in a
third party to restructure the health system, an-
alysts say.

The rules are fairly clear for building owners
in Massachusetts. If their structures have
standpipes — a key fire-suppression system that
channels water to upper and underground

them every five years.
But not the MBTA.
The agency that carries people on millions of

that have strained that bond.
Herzog kept his words strict-
ly nonpartisan as he spoke
about the strength of the securi-
ty partnership between the
United States and Israel, de-
cried Iran’s nuclear ambitions,
and thanked the United States
for shepherding through the
Abraham Accords, which he
called a game changer for peace
in the Middle East. And he elic-
ited applause from both Repub-
licans and Democrats as he
lauded the vibrancy of Israel’s
democracy and recalled the 75-
year alliance with the United
States.
“ We are proud to be the
United States’ closest partner
and friend,” Herzog told law-
makers. “ When the United
States is strong, Israel is stron-
ger. And when Israel is strong,
the United States is more se-
cure.”
The speech was an effort to
solidify bipartisan support for
Israel at a time when a growing
number of Democrats have
questioned Prime Minister Ben-
jamin Netanyahu’s embrace of
policies that they see as undem-
ocratic, and as an emboldened
left wing is openly accusing the
country of imposing apartheid
policies against Palestinians.
Herzog’s speech also appeared
aimed at reassuring Israelis,

Border Patrol
blamed in death
of migrant girl
Border Patrol does not
have protocols for assessing
medical needs of children
with preexisting conditions,
according to an independent
report made public Tuesday
on the death of an 8-year-old
girl from Panama who was in
federal custody.
The girl’s death was a pre-
ventable tragedy that result-
ed from failures in medical
and custodial systems for
children within US Customs
and Border Protection, the
report found.
It’s the latest damning
finding in the May 17 death
of Anadith Danay Reyes Al-
varez, who was on her ninth
day in custody with family in
Harlingen, Texas. She had a
chronic heart condition and
sickle cell anemia.
An internal investigation
found Border Patrol medical
staff declined to review the
girl’s file. The report was
conducted by an indepen-
dent monitor working to en-
force compliance with the
latest terms of the Flores set-
tlement agreement, a mea-
sure created to bring child
welfare protections to chil-
dren in immigration custody.
“The failure to consult a
physician or a local health fa-
cility for more extensive test-
ing raises fundamental con-
cerns regarding the ability of
the CBP medical system to
care appropriately for chil-
dren at elevated medical
risk,” the report says.
New leadership has been
appointed to the agency’s Of-
fice of the Chief Medical Offi-
cer, said Troy A. Miller, act-
ing CBP commissioner.

taken significant steps to ad-

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
David DePape’s lawyers said
the juror pool was tainted.
troduced a new twist into the
Jan. 6 investigation by suggest-
ing in a target letter that they
could charge former president
Donald Trump with violating a
civil rights statute that dates
b a c k t o t h e p o s t - C i v i l Wa r
Reconstruction era, according to
three people familiar with the
matter.
The letter to Trump from the
special counsel, Jack Smith, re-
ferred to three criminal statutes
as part of the grand jury investi-
gation into Trump’s efforts to re-
verse his 2020 election loss, ac-
cording to two people with
knowledge of its contents. Two
of the statutes were familiar
from the criminal referral by the
House Jan. 6 committee and
months of discussion by legal ex-
perts: conspiracy to defraud the
government and obstruction of
an official proceeding.
But the third law cited in the
letter was a surprise: Section 241
of Title 18 of the United States
Code, which makes it a crime for
people to “conspire to injure, op-
press, threaten, or intimidate
any person” in the “free exercise
or enjoyment of any right or
privilege secured to him by the
Constitution or laws of the Unit-
ed States.”
Congress enacted that statute
after the Civil War to provide a
tool for federal agents to go after
Southern whites, including Ku
Klux Klan members, who en-
gaged in terrorism to prevent
formerly enslaved African Amer-
icans from voting. But in the
modern era, it has been used
more broadly, including in cases
of voting fraud conspiracies.
A Justice Department
spokesperson declined to dis-
cuss the letter and Smith’s theo-
ry for bringing the Section 241
statute into the Jan. 6 investiga-
tion. But the modern usage of
the law raised the possibility that
Trump, who asserted that the
election was rigged, could face
prosecution on accusations of
trying to rig the election himself.
A series of 20th-century cases
upheld application of the law in
cases involving alleged tamper-
ing with ballot boxes by casting
false votes or falsely tabulating
votes after the election was over,
even if no specific voter could be
considered the victim. In a 1950
opinion by the 6th US Circuit
Court of Appeals, for example,
Judge Charles C. Simons wrote
of applying Section 241 in a bal-
lot box-stuffing case that the
right to an honest count “is a
right possessed by each voting
elector, and to the extent that the
importance of his vote is nulli-
fied, wholly or in part, he has
been injured in the free exercise
of a right or privilege secured to
him by the laws and Constitu-
tion of the United States.”
In a 1974 Supreme Court
opinion upholding the use of
Section 241 to charge West Vir-
ginians who cast fake votes on a
voting machine, Justice Thur-
good Marshall cited Simons and
added that every voter “has a
right under the Constitution to
have his vote fairly counted,
without its being distorted by
fraudulently cast votes.”
The line of 20th-century cas-
es raised the prospect that Smith
and his team could be weighing
using that law to cover efforts by
Trump and his associates to flip
the outcome of states he lost.
Those efforts included the re-
corded phone conversation in
which Trump asked Georgia’s
secre tar y of s tate to “find ”
enough additional votes to over-
come President Joe Biden’s win
in that state and promoting a
plan to use so-called fake elec-
tors — self-appointed slates of
pro-Trump electors from states
won by Biden — to help block or
delay congressional certification
of the election.

Trump hush money case
will remain in state court
Bid to move case
to federal court
denied by judge
By Jonah E. Bromwich
NEW YORK TIMES
NEW YORK — A judge on
Wednesday denied former presi-
dent Donald Trump’s request to
move the Manhattan criminal
case against him from state to
federal court.
The federal judge, Alvin Hell-
erstein, had signaled in a hear-
ing last month that he was pre-
disposed against moving the
case brought by the Manhattan
district attorney, Alvin Bragg.
B r a g g ’s p r o s e c u t o r s h a v e
charged Trump with 34 felony
counts of falsifying business re-
cords, stemming from a hush
money payment made to porno-
graphic film actress Stormy Dan-
iels in 2016.
Trump’s lawyers had argued
that the case should be heard in
federal court because it related
to conduct he engaged in while
president.
But in the order that Heller-
stein issued Wednesday, he
echoed his contention at the
hearing that Trump’s lawyers
had failed to show that the be-
havior at issue — reimburse-
ments to Trump’s former fixer,
Michael Cohen, for the hush
money payment — was some-
how related to the office of the
presidency.
Hellerstein wrote that the ev-
idence overwhelmingly suggest-
ed that the matter involved
something personal to the presi-
dent: “a cover-up of an embar-
rassing event.”
“ Hu s h m o n e y p a i d t o a n
adult film star is not related to a
president’s official acts,” he con-
cluded in the order. “It does not
reflect in any way the color of the
president’s official duties.”
A lawyer for Trump, Todd
Blanche, declined to comment.
A spokesperson for Bragg
said, “We are very pleased with
the federal court’s decision and
look forward to proceeding in
New York State Supreme Court.”
Trump’s effort to move the
case was considered a long shot.
Still, the order represents a sig-
nificant victory for Bragg — who
secured an indictment of the for-
mer president in March and
whose case against him is sched-
uled for trial in March 2024 — in
part because Hellerstein echoed
Judge upholds $5m verdict for columnist
By Larry Neumeister
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A federal
judge on Wednesday upheld a
$5 million jury verdict against
Donald Trump, rejecting the
former president’s claims that
the award was excessive and
that the jury vindicated him by
failing to conclude he raped a
columnist in a luxury depart-
ment store dressing room in the
1990s.
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan said
the jury’s May award of com-
pensatory and punitive damag-
es to writer E. Jean Carroll for
sexual abuse and defamation in
the civil case was reasonable.
Trump’s lawyers had asked
Kaplan to reduce the jury award
to less than $1 million or order a
new trial on damages. In their
arguments, the lawyers said the
jury’s $2 million in compensato-
ry damages granted for Carroll’s
sexual assault claim was exces-
sive because the jury concluded
that Trump had not raped Car-
roll at Bergdorf Goodman’s
Manhattan store in the spring of
1996.
Kaplan wrote that the jury’s
unanimous verdict was almost
entirely in favor of Carroll, ex-
cept that the jury concluded she
had failed to prove that Trump
raped her “within the narrow,
technical meaning of a particu-
lar section of the New York Pe-
nal Law.”
The judge said the section re-
quires vaginal penetration by a
penis while forcible penetration
by fingers or anything else is la-
beled “sexual abuse” rather than
“rape.”
He said the definition of rape
was “far narrower” than how
rape is defined in common mod-
ern parlance, in some dictionar-
ies, in some federal and state
criminal statutes, and else-
where.

several arguments made by
Bragg’s prosecutors.
The judge seemed impressed
by their evidence, writing that
they had strongly supported
“their allegations that the money
paid to Cohen was reimburse-
ment for a hush money pay-
ment.” He also expressed signifi-
cant skepticism toward a de-
fense Trump’s lawyers had been
expected to mount in arguing
that the case should be dis-
missed.
Trump, who is once again the
front-runner for the Republican
presidential nomination, was al-
so indicted last month in federal
court in Miami for mishandling
classified documents and ob-
structing the government’s in-
vestigation into his conduct.
On Tuesday, he disclosed that
the same federal prosecutors
had informed him he was a tar-
get in a separate investigation fo-
cused on his attempts to retain
power after the 2020 election.
Trump is also under investi-
gation in Georgia, where a grand
jury is hearing evidence about
election interference. On Mon-
day, the Georgia Supreme Court
rejected an effort by the former
president’s lawyers to halt that
investigation.
In the hearing in the Manhat-
tan case last month, Blanche said
the Constitution had necessitat-
ed that Cohen be hired to handle
the president’s private affairs
when he took the White House.
Thus, Blanche said, any work
that Cohen undertook was rele-
vant to Trump’s role as president.
But lawyers for the district at-
t o r n e y s a i d Co h e n’s h i r i n g
showed the exact opposite. One

E. Jean Carroll has filed a
second defamation suit
against Donald Trump based
on statements he made after
the trial.
The judge said the verdict
did not mean that Carroll
“failed to prove that Mr. Trump
‘raped’ her as many people com-
monly understand the word
‘rape.’ Indeed ... the jury found
that Mr. Trump in fact did ex-
actly that.”
The judge said Trump’s argu-
ment “ignores the bulk of the ev-
idence at trial, misinterprets the
jury’s verdict, and mistakenly
focuses on the New York Penal
Law definition of ‘rape’ to the
exclusion of the meaning of that
word as it often is used in every-
day life and of the evidence of
what actually occurred between

Russia targets Ukrainian infrastructure
Bombards port
city after leaving
grain deal
By Marc Santora
and Victoria Kim
NEW YORK TIMES
Russia bombarded the Black
Sea port city of Odesa for a sec-
ond-straight night with drones
and missiles, setting off loud
and prolonged explosions early
Wednesday in what Ukrainian
officials said was an attack on
grain terminals and other criti-
cal infrastructure Ukraine
needs to ship food to the world.
Ukraine’s air force said it
was one of the largest sustained
aerial assaults on Odesa, the
country’s largest port, and that
several waves of missiles and
drones were launched at other
cities overnight. Smoke was
seen rising over the main port
of Odesa as dawn broke.
President Volodymyr Zel-
ensky and other Ukrainian offi-
cials called the assault part of a
Russian effort to resume its de
facto blockade of the Black Sea,
after Moscow pulled out of a
United Nations-brokered agree-
ment that allowed for Ukraini-
an grain ships to export food.
Russian missiles also hit Odesa
on Tuesday in what Moscow
claimed was retribution for an
attack on a vital bridge to occu-
pied Crimea.
“Russian terrorists deliber-
ately targeted the grain deal’s
infrastructure, and every Rus-
sian missile is a blow not only to
Ukraine, but to everyone in the
world who wants a normal and
safe life,” Zelensky said Wednes-
day on the Telegram messaging
app.
At least 30 cruise missiles
and 32 attack drones were fired
at targets across the country,
primarily from the Black Sea,
U k r a i n e ’s a i r f o r c e s a i d .
Ukraine said it had intercepted
14 of the missiles and 23 of the
drones.
“It was a hellish night,” Ser-
hiy Bratchuk, a spokesperson
for the Odesa regional military
administration, said in a video
message posted on social me-
dia. He called the attack “very
powerful, truly massive” and
said it might have been the larg-
est attack on the city since Rus-
sia’s full-scale invasion began.
In Odesa, one intercepted
missile caused a large explo-
sion, the blast wave damaging
several buildings and injuring
civilians, according to the
Ukrainian military. Port infra-
structure — including a grain
and oil terminal, tanks, and
loading equipment — was dam-
aged, the military said. Tobacco
and fireworks warehouses were
also hit, according to the mili-
tary. Odesa’s city government
said 10 people needed medical
help, including a 9-year-old boy.

With military

deters shipping
By Matthew Mpoke Bigg

NEW YORK TIMES
Two days after Russia pulled
out of the deal allowing Ukraine
to ship grain through the Black
Sea, Moscow took another step
to hinder shipping, saying the
Russian military would regard
any ship bound for Ukraine to
be a potential carrier of military
cargo and their home countries
to be Ukraine’s allies in the war.
The declaration appeared to
signal that Moscow would con-
sider commercial ships to be le-
gitimate military targets and
the countries where the ships
are registered to be aiding
Ukraine. While the statement
did not say explicitly how Rus-
sia’s navy would respond to a
ship bound for Ukraine, the
statement will almost certainly
deter commercial shipping.

South Africa skirts dilemma after Putin cancels visit
By John Eligon
NEW YORK TIMES
South African officials have
been wrestling for months with
a dilemma that thrust them in-
to the crosshairs of a faraway
war: Russia’s president, Vladi-
mir Putin, a close ally, was set
to attend an important diplo-
matic summit in their country,
yet they would be legally
obliged to arrest him because
he is wanted by an internation-
al court that has accused him
of war crimes in Ukraine.
With the August summit
fast approaching, it seemed
that South Africa had to choose
between burning bridges with
Russia or damaging relations
with the United States and oth-
er Western nations, major trad-
ing partners that have grown
increasingly irritated by South
Africa’s warm relations with
Moscow.
But on Wednesday, Putin
gave South Africa a way out.

ing an explosion on the Crime-
an Peninsula — follows Mon-
day’s blast on the Kerch Strait
Bridge connecting Crimea to
Russia. The bridge, a strategi-
cally important link to supply
Russian forces in southern
Ukraine, was damaged in an ap-
parent Ukrainian attack by na-
val drones.
Moscow has denied the at-
tacks are related to the sus-
pended grain deal, saying on
Tuesday that they were a “mass

Russia’s statement, their biggest
upward percentage move since

“All vessels sailing in the wa-
ters of the Black Sea to Ukraini-
an ports will be regarded as po-
tential carriers of military cargo,”
the Defense Ministry said in a
statement on the Telegram mes-
saging app. “Accordingly, the
countries of such vessels will be
considered to be involved in the
Ukrainian conflict on the side of
the Kyiv regime.” The decision,
the ministry said, would take ef-
fect at midnight Wednesday.
In addition, Russia said that
it would consider some areas of
the northwestern and south-
eastern parts of the Black Sea
dangerous for navigation and
that it had withdrawn conven-
tional safety guarantees for sail-
ors. The main ports that
Ukraine has used for grain ex-
ports, including in the city of
Odesa, are situated in the north-
western Black Sea.
In Moscow, President Vladi-
mir Putin said Russia would
consider rejoining the grain deal
T h e B o s t o n
The World
President Cyril Ramaphosa
announced that Putin had, by
“mutual agreement,” decided
not to attend the summit in per-
son, and would send his foreign
minister, Sergey Lavrov, in his
place. Russian state media said
that Putin would participate via
videoconference in the summit,
a long-planned meeting of the
heads of state of Brazil, Russia,
India, China, and South Africa,
a bloc known as BRICS.
While this decision eases
South Africa’s immediate di-
lemma, the country is still
walking a shaky and very pub-
lic tightrope as it tries to main-
tain strong ties with each of its
superpower allies when they
are at odds with one another.
South Africa has faced with-
ering criticism from the United
States for refusing to condemn
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
American officials have in ad-
dition accused South Africa of

used to manufacture drones

Russia issued threats Tues-
day against Ukraine trying to
continue shipments of food
through the Black Sea, with
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry
Peskov saying that “certain
risks emerge there without ap-
propriate security guarantees.”

US soldier

North Korea
SEOUL — North Korea
stayed silent Wednesday about
the detention of an American
soldier who sprinted across the
Koreas’ heavily fortified border
as members of his tour group
looked on in shock. Some ob-
servers said heightened tensions
between the two countries make
it unlikely that he will return
any time soon.
Private Travis King bolted
into North Korea while on a tour
of the Demilitarized Zone on
Tuesday, a day after he was sup-
posed to return to the United
States. He had released from a
South Korean prison July 10 af-
ter serving time for assault and
was scheduled to return to Fort
Bliss, Texas. He faced discharge
because of his conviction in a
foreign country, according to a
US official who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity.
King is the first known
American held in North Korea
in nearly five years, and his de-

Thai lawmakers
block opposition
candidate
Protests erupted in Bangkok
on Wednesday, hours after Thai-
land’s conservative establish-
ment suspended a progressive
leader and lawmakers denied
him the chance to stand for a
second parliamentary vote for
prime minister.
The candidate, Pita Lim-
jaroenrat, leads a party that won
the most votes in a May election
after campaigning on a reform
platform that challenged the
country’s powerful conservative
establishment. He lost an initial
parliamentary vote for prime
minister last week.
Late Wednesday, lawmakers
voted to deny Pita, 42, the
chance to stand for a second
vote on the grounds that parlia-
ment’s rules do not permit a “re-
peat motion.” Pita’s supporters
see that as a not-so-subtle move
to keep him out of power.
The mood in Bangkok, Thai-
land’s muggy capital, was anx-
ious as protesters hit the streets
Wednesday afternoon. Pita’s
supporters have been expressing
outrage online toward an estab-
lishment that often pushes back
against Thailand’s democratic
process.

Xi says China will cut down

emissions on its own terms
US urges Beijing
to quickly reduce
methane output
By Lisa Friedman
and Chris Buckley
NEW YORK TIMES

BEIJING — Chinese leaders

made clear this week that ten-
sions with the United States are
impeding cooperation on cli-
mate action, despite calls by
John Kerry, President Biden’s
climate envoy, that the world’s
two largest polluters must work
together to reduce the emissions
that are broiling the planet.
Even as Kerry met in Beijing
with top Chinese officials to re-
start long-stalled climate talks,
China’s leader, Xi Jinping, as-
serted that his government
would pursue its goals to phase
out carbon dioxide pollution at
its own pace and in its own way.
Xi did not meet Kerry during
the envoy’s four-day visit, but he
reiterated China’s position in a
speech to environmental offi-
cials in Beijing. China remained
“unwaveringly” committed to
reaching its peak in carbon
emissions before 2030 and be-
coming carbon neutral by 2060,
he told them this week, accord-
ing to the official People’s Daily
on Wednesday.
“But,” Xi added, “the path-
way and means for reaching this
goal, and the tempo and intensi-
ty, should be and must be deter-
mined by ourselves, and never
under the sway of others.”

China COVID toll may be much higher
Official data from China of-
fered a rare, but brief, glimpse
of the true toll of COVID-19, in-
dicating that nearly as many
people may have died from the
virus in a single province earli-
er this year as Beijing has said
died in the mainland during
the entire pandemic.
The data was deleted from a
provincial government website
just days after it was published
on Thursday. But epidemiolo-
gists who reviewed a cached
version of the information said
it was the latest indication that
the country’s official tally is a
vast undercount.

GOP lawmakers press IRS agents on Biden

WASHINGTON — House Re-
publicans raised unsubstantiat-
ed allegations Wednesday
against Presi-
POLITICAL dent Biden
NOTEBOOK over his fami-
ly’s finances as
they summoned IRS whistle-
blowers to testify publicly for the
first time about claims the Jus-
tice Department improperly in-
terfered with a tax investigation
into Biden’s son Hunter.
Lawmakers were hearing
from the two IRS agents as-
signed to the Hunter Biden case,
which looked into his failure to
pay taxes. The president’s son
pleaded guilty recently to misde-
meanor tax charges in what Re-
publicans have derided as a
“sweetheart” deal.
Still, House Republicans are
deepening their own investiga-
tion, making broad claims of
corruption and wrongdoing by
the Bidens, which they acknowl-
edge are not proven.
“We will continue to follow
the money trail,” said Represen-
tative James Comer, chairman of
the House Oversight and Ac-
countability Committee, as he
opened the session.
The Justice Department has
denied the whistle-blowers’ alle-
gations.
The top Democrat on the
committee, Maryland Represen-
tative Jamie Raskin, called the
hearing “a theater of the absurd.”
IRS supervisory special agent
Gary Shapley, and a second
agent, Joseph Ziegler, said there
was what Shapley called in testi-
mony a pattern of “slow-walking
investigative steps” into Hunter
Biden, including during the
Trump administration in the
months before the 2020 election
that Joe Biden won.
One of Shapley’s most de-
tailed claims was that US Attor-
ney David Weiss in Delaware,
the federal prosecutor who led
the investigation, asked for spe-
cial counsel status in order to
bring the tax cases against
Hunter Biden in jurisdictions
outside Delaware, including the
District of Columbia and Califor-
nia, but was denied.
Weiss and the Justice Depart-
ment have denied that, saying
he had “full authority” and nev-
er sought to bring charges in
other states.
Ziegler described his frustra-
tions with the way the case was
handled, dating to the Trump ad-
ministration under Attorney
General William Barr. The tax
agency employee said he started
the investigation into Hunter
Biden in 2015 and began to delve
deeply into his life and finances.
Democrats on the committee
pushed back on the whistle-
blowers’ assertions that Hunter
Biden received special treatment
because his father was the nomi-
nee for president in the upcom-
ing 2020 election.
Representative Raja Krish-
namoorthi, Democrat of Illinois,
made the point that Donald
Trump was president during the
2020 time frame when the whis-
tle-blowers allege there was in-
terference.

Biden administration moves
to ban funding for Wuhan lab
The Biden administration is
taking steps to impose a 10-year
ban on funding for the Wuhan
Institute of Virology, the Chinese
research laboratory at the center
of a heated debate over the ori-
gins of the coronavirus pandem-
ic, according to a memo made
public by a House subcommittee
Tuesday evening and an official
familiar with the issue.
The memo, written by an of-
ficial in the Department of
Health and Human Services,
said the institute had failed to
comply with repeated requests
from the National Institutes of
Health for laboratory notebooks
and other documents necessary
to establish its safety practices.
The NIH’s conclusion that
the Wuhan institute “likely vio-
lated protocols of the NIH re-
garding biosafety is undisputed,”
wrote the official, whose name
was redacted. The memo said
that suspension of funding was
necessary to “mitigate any po-

tential public health risk,” and
that there was “adequate evi-
dence” to initiate “debarment
proceedings.”
The institute, which has not
received any federal money
since 2020, now has 30 days to
respond to the notice.
The memo was made public
Tuesday by the House Select
Subcommittee on the Coronavi-
rus Pandemic; its existence was
first reported by Bloomberg. Re-
publicans on the House panel
have repeatedly asserted that the
virus was the product of a labo-
ratory leak, and have trained
their attention on research con-
ducted by the Wuhan Institute.

Veteran who stormed Capitol
gets seven years in prison
WASHINGTON — A military
veteran who stormed the US
Capitol with a loaded pistol,
metal-plated body armor, and a
gas mask was sentenced on
Wednesday to seven years in
prison, one of the longest among
hundreds of Jan. 6 riot cases.
Christopher Michael Alberts,
35, of Pylesville, Md., isn’t ac-
cused of brandishing his con-
cealed gun during the riot on
Jan. 6, 2021. But he used a
wooden pallet as a makeshift
battering ram against police offi-
cers who were guarding a stair-
well outside the Capitol, accord-
ing to federal prosecutors.
Alberts told US District
Judge Christopher Cooper that
he was trying to protect others
outside the Capitol as police de-
ployed tear gas and nonlethal
munitions to hold back the mob.
“I wasn’t trying to hurt any-
body,” he said. “I just wanted it
all to stop.”
Cooper told Alberts that he
was one of the leaders of the
mob that day.
“You were not simply a by-
stander,” the judge said.
Alberts, a former Virginia
National Guard member, spent
six hours on Capitol grounds on
DREW ANGERER/GETTY IMAGES
the day of the riot. He was
armed with a 9-millimeter pistol
— loaded with hollow point and
high-pressure rounds — and
brought an extra magazine of
ammunition.
Alberts was the first rioter to
reach the northwest steps out-
side the Capitol and the first to
“go hands on” with a Capitol po-
lice officer at that part of the
complex, prosecutors said.

Fla. Black history standards
decried as ‘step backward’
The Florida State Board of
Education approved new rules
Wednesday for how Black histo-
ry will be taught in public
schools that critics are decrying
as a ‘‘step backward.’’
The updated standards in-
clude noting that enslaved peo-
ple developed skills that ‘‘could
be applied for their personal
benefit,’’ and that in teaching
about mob violence against
Black residents instructors
should also note ‘‘acts of vio-
lence perpetrated against and by
African Americans.’’
‘‘These standards are a dis-
service to Florida’s students and
are a big step backward for a
state that has required teaching
African American history since
1994,’’ the Florida Education As-
sociation, the state’s largest
teachers union, said in a state-
ment.
The standards are the latest
development in an ongoing de-
bate in Florida over how Black
history should be taught in
school. Earlier this year, the ed-
ucation board rejected a new
Advanced Placement high
school course on African Ameri-
can studies, arguing it lacked
‘‘educational value.’’ Under Re-
publican presidential candidate
and Florida Governor Ron De-
Santis’ leadership, the state leg-
islature also passed a law that
forbids teachers from offering
instruction that makes other
students ‘‘feel guilt’’ because of
actions committed by others in
the past.
Education officials opened a
public hearing in Orlando on
Wednesday saying opponents to
the new standards for teaching
Black history were perpetuating
‘‘a false narrative.’’ Education
Commissioner Manny Diaz said
the state would continue to
‘‘teach the good, bad, and the
ugly of American history’’ in an
age-appropriate manner.
More than a dozen speakers
at Tuesday’s board meeting op-
posed the changes, including
state Senator Geraldine Thomp-
son, a Democrat, who said the
new standards amount to
‘‘blaming the victims.’’
State Representative Anna
Eskamani, a Democrat, said she
was concerned about inaccura-
cies in the new standards, in-
cluding instructing that en-
slaved people ‘‘developed skills’’
that could be helpful. ‘‘That is
inaccurate and a scary standard
for us to establish,’’ she said.
The board passed the new
standards unanimously.

Out of the spotlight, Scott raising his profile in N.H.

uSCOTT
Continued from Page A1
Scott, 57, has been chugging
along in the single digits since
announcing his presidential
campaign in May, casting him-
self as a sunny conservative who
wants to unify a divided coun-
try. And while his oft-discussed
Christian faith makes him a
more obvious fit for the more
religious GOP electorate in Io-
wa, which he’s visited 18 times
since February, Scott and his al-
lies are investing heavily in the
flinty first-in-the-nation prima-
ry state. They’re gambling the
effort could reap rewards, par-
ticularly among voters such as
Williamson who are casting
about for an alternative to
Trump.
But unlike some other candi-
dates with low poll numbers,
Scott’s war chest signals he’s in
it for the long haul.
An analysis published on Ju-
ly 7 by the advertising tracking
firm AdImpact found Scott and
his allies had spent more than
any other candidate on adver-
tising in New Hampshire, near-
ly 40 percent of the $10.3 mil-
lion spent by all the candidates
to that point — and more than
Trump and DeSantis combined.
He has visited the state eight
times since February.
A recent poll from WMUR
suggests the effort might be
showing at least a small payoff,
with the South Carolina senator
edging into a distant third place
behind Trump and DeSantis,
with 8 percent support, while
Trump has 37 percent and De-
Santis 23 percent.
Internally, Scott and his ad-
visers see his lack of name rec-
ognition, especially in compari-
son to Trump, as his biggest
challenge, according to a person
familiar with the campaign’s
strategy. Their current focus is
simply on letting voters get to
know him, rather than trying to
draw contrasts with his compet-
itors.
Scott has qualified to be on
the stage for the first debate, on
Aug. 23, and the campaign has
reserved $6 million in advertis-
South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, shown campaigning in Manchester, N.H., in May, was running third in a recent poll.
ing in Iowa and New Hamp-
shire through that period, while
a super PAC supporting Scott
has committed to spending $40
million on him in the fall.
“Does he have a path? He’s
certainly benefiting right now
from not being Ron DeSantis,”
said Dante Scala, a professor of
political science at the Universi-
ty of New Hampshire, who said
Scott has put positive spots
about himself on the state’s air-
waves while Trump and DeSan-
tis battle more directly, and re-
ceived little pushback.
The get-to-know-me strategy
was on display Tuesday night,
where Scott worked the room a
few minutes before his speech,
merrily shaking voters’ hands
and posing for photos — includ-
ing one taken by a woman
whose phone was emblazoned
with the word “TRUMP.” His 11-
minute stump speech included
self-effacing tales of his up-
bringing in the Deep South and
failing several subjects in high
school, and he heaped flattery
on the state’s mercurial elector-
ate.
“You guys take the process
of electing a president serious-
ly — thank you for doing so,”
Scott said. “New Hampshire is
the place for the first Republi-
can primar y in our country
and should remain the place
for all of America to watch and
see.”
Scott then spent nearly an
hour taking voters’ questions,
making scant mention of his ri-
vals and avoiding discussion of
hot-button social issues like
abortion rights and transgender
rights that play well in Iowa but
less so among the more socially
libertarian voters here. (Scott
has said he would back a 15-
week abortion ban and in cam-

paign material makes a point of
opposing transgender athletes
playing sports.)
Still, Trump’s dominance of
the polls here loomed large in
the room. One voter, Tony Con-
te, told Scott he was worried
that the size of the field would
splinter the electorate and hand
the nomination to Trump, who
he fears cannot win a general
election.
“I think there’s going to be a
solidification. I think there’s go-
ing to be fewer candidates as we
go through the next few
months,” Scott assured Conte,
who said afterward that he was
impressed with Scott and is
holding out for whoever can
beat Trump.
“If he looks like the strongest
candidate, I’ll be happy to vote
for him,” Conte said.
Dave Carney, a New Hamp-
shire-based Republican strate-
gist who is not involved in the
primary, said Scott’s charisma
and personal story could give
him a chance in New Hamp-
shire, but that right now, it’s
“anybody’s race to be the num-
ber two guy.”
“Once you emerge as the
number two guy, the number
one guy is going to beat the crap
out of you,” he added.
Scott’s unwillingness to at-
tack Trump was clear when a
young voter asked him if the
Department of Justice was right
to investigate Trump over his ef-
forts to overturn the 2020 elec-
tion and his role in the Capitol
riots of Jan. 6.
Earlier this week, Trump
said he had received a letter tell-
ing him he was a target of such
an investigation.
“The DOJ is in fact weap-
onizing the tools of our country
against their political oppo-
n e n t s ,” S c o tt s a i d , a d d i n g ,
“They are hunting Republicans.
That is wrong.”
He also echoed some of
Trump’s complaints about the
2020 election, calling it a “deba-
cle.”
Still, several voters who are
looking for an alternative to
Trump see Scott as a worthy op-
tion, even though they are wor-
ried the former president can’t
b e b e a t e n . E d Hu m i n i c k , a
trustee at the Elks Lodge who
believes Republicans “have to
take our party back,” said he is
worried about the low polling
numbers of every candidate not
named Trump.
He called Scott “the kind of
candidate we need, no pissing
or vitriol.”
“It’s the way he talked to
people. . . . Scott seemed like he
really wanted people to know
him,” Huminick said, compar-
ing him favorably to DeSantis,
who he found “kind of conde-
scending.”
Steve Chopelas, 53, de-
scribed himself as socially liber-
al but said he could see himself
voting for Scott if he showed an
ability to bring people together.
“I’m hoping to see him get
enough support to gain on
Tr u m p ,” C h o p e l a s sa i d , a l -
though he added that Trump’s
dominance in the polls has left
him “very nervous.”
When asked if Trump could
be beaten here, Chuck Morse,
the former president of the
state Senate who lost the prima-
ry for the US Senate last year,
pointed to the state’s history of
upsets.
“I think that’s what New
Hampshire’s all about,” Morse
said, before recalling how hard
he worked in the 2016 primary
for Jeb Bush, an early front-run-
ner who flamed out.
“I went with Bush in 2016
and President Trump proved
you can do it differently, and we
lost,” Morse said.

DeSantis, Fla. officials sued over alleged voter intimidation
Those with felony
records call rules
unconstitutional
By Shayna Jacobs
WASHINGTON POST
NEW YORK — A voting
rights group filed a lawsuit
against presidential candidate
and Florida Governor Ron De-
Santis Wednesday over the use
of so-called election police and
other alleged intimidation and
voter suppression tactics aimed
at citizens with felony criminal
records.
The Florida Rights Restora-
tion Coalition and several indi-
viduals affected by the state’s
policies allege that they violate
the Voting Rights Act of 1965,
hindering the rights of about 1.4
million formerly disenfran-
chised residents.

your kids live here.”
Through his grief, Limage
urged the driver to come for-
ward as he remembered his
nephew, whom he called the
“life of the party.”
“You walk through the doors
and he’s jumping and laugh-
ing,” he said.
When his sister returned
from the hospital, Limage was
there waiting. He said he
“grabbed her and gave her a
hug.”
“No words needed to be
said,” he said.
Asked how his sister is cop-
ing with the loss of her son, he
said, “she isn’t.” Limage did not
identify his sister by name.
Investigators have urged
anyone who knows anything
about the fatal crash to contact
them.
“We beg of you,” Suffolk Dis-
trict Attorney Kevin Hayden
said Tuesday night. “We need
your help.”
Police said Wednesday that
they are continuing to investi-
gate but had no updates.
On Wood Avenue, residents
said they were distraught over
the boy’s death and furious that
so many drivers speed down a
street where many children
play, especially in the summer.
“I have a little kid too, it
could have been her,” said Ma-
rie Pierre, who is not related to
the boy’s family.
As she prepared to leave for
work Wednesday morning ,
Pierre was still shaken by the
terrible scene from the night
before. Alerted by a friend, she
went outside and saw a child in
the street.
MBTA is unsure about when cracked standpipe was last inspected
uMBTA
Continued from Page A1
Pesaturo said the MBTA does
not have records of any inspec-
tions of the standpipe since it
was pressure tested in 2019.
The equipment breakdown
forced firefighters to improvise,
hauling water up a flight of
stairs to the smoking Red Line
car.
MBTA general manager Phil-
lip Eng said Tuesday that while
the T “did not have any formal
annual inspection” last year on
the failed standpipe, a more rig-
orous approach is coming.
“The team is already work-
ing on a program to have annu-
al, visual inspections, and we
will build that into the process
along with the five-year inspec-
tions,” Eng said. “But that’s just
the one component of the sta-
tions. We’re going to do a whole
top-to-bottom in terms of how
we’ve been doing things in the
past and how we need to do
things moving forward.”
The smoking train and stand-
pipe failure are the latest in a
long series of safety incidents
that have plagued the MBTA
over the last two years, putting
riders and workers in danger
and drawing scrutiny from fed-
The lawsuit, filed in a US Dis-
trict Court in Miami, argues that
a lack of a reliable database al-
lowing people with convictions to
determine their voter eligibility
status is unconstitutional, and a
failure to adhere to Amendment
4, a ballot initiative passed in
2018 to grant voting rights to
people with felony records who
are in good standing with the law.
After the ballot initiative was
approved, lawmakers in Florida
passed a bill clarifying that fel-
ons must pay court-ordered fi-
nancial obligations like fines and
restitution before voting rights
are restored. The need to check
for outstanding legal financial
obligations complicated the pro-
cess for those who were eligible,
advocates have said.
DeSantis has said the effort is
an important step in controlling
voter fraud. His office did not

“People are always speeding
down the street,” he said. The
posted speed limit on the two-
lane street is 25 miles an hour.
A man who lives across the
street from where the boy was
hit said he went outside after
hearing upset voices, then si-
rens. He saw the boy on the half
of the road closest to his home.
“I broke out in tears,” said
the man, who declined to be
eral regulators.
The broken standpipe had a
crack, said Boston Fire Depart-
ment spokesperson Firefighter
Brian Alkins, causing it to fail
when firefighters at the station
tried to use it.
Alkins said he could not re-
member the last time the depart-
ment encountered a broken
standpipe. He said they are used
in most office buildings and
high-rise residential buildings as
well as underground locations.
“We depend on them to use
as a source of water,” he said.
“We assume it’s going to work.
When it doesn’t work we have to
go to plan B.”
Plan B in this case included
hauling cans of water up stairs.
Red Line service was disrupted
for several hours.
The National Fire Protection
Association codes that Massa-
chusetts has adopted say, “Com-
ponents of standpipe and hose
systems shall be visually inspect-

be inspected annually for the fol-

damage, and that number is
expected to rise, Randle said.
At least 2,000 acres of crops
have been lost or significantly
damaged, she added. Losses so
far are estimated at $15 million
and rising.
In addition to potatoes, oth-
er crops such as corn, tomatoes,
eggplants, cucumbers, and to-
bacco were affected, Randle
said. Pumpkins could be im-
pacted in the fall, she added.
“This isn’t a one-and-done
situation,” said state Senator Jo
Comerford, a Northampton
Democrat. “These farms have
had damage that will continue
to affect them.”
Among the concerns are wa-
ter-borne bacteria and crop dis-
ease, as well as the struggle to
reenter markets where farmers
sell their produce, she said.
At Smiarowski Farm, large
swaths of the fields are now a
murky brown, the crops either
washed away or covered in
mud. In lower-lying areas,
flood water still stands in mas-
sive puddles, and water spreads
t h r o u g h r o w s b e tw e e n t h e
crops.
These farmers have seen this
much rain before. In 2011,
Hurricane Irene brought 10
inches in some areas, and a
1984 flood brought 8 to 9 inch-
es.
What makes this worse is
the timing: Potato farmers were
only a week or two away from
h a r v e s t i n g . Ir e n e h i t a f t e r
much of the crop had been har-
vested, and the 1984 flood had
been early enough in the season
that farmers were able to re-
plant.
But this time, farmers lost
crops that they had poured
time, money, and labor into all
season, only to lose much of it
to the storms.
Much of Western Massachu-
setts looks vibrant and lush af-
ter the rain, and some corn-
fields appear unscathed, but a
good portion of the damage is
occurring below the surface.
It’s a waiting game now, area
farmers said, and it will be diffi-
cult to gauge the exact financial
loss before the harvest season
ends in late October.
As it struggles, Tufts Medicine asks state for help

health policy and management
at the Harvard T.H. Chan School
of Public Health. “That’s not a
good thing.”
Tufts Medicine is not the only
health system in the state to con-
front operational losses as it
grapples with continued fallout
from the pandemic, but it serves
a critical place in the state’s
health care infrastructure, pro-
viding lower-cost care than some
of its larger peers and catering to
a large low-income population.
The 1,099-bed system employs
15,000 people and cares for
44,000 hospitalized patients an-
nually. Beyond its flagship Tufts
Medical Center, the organization
also includes Lowell General
Hospital and MelroseWakefield
Healthcare.
The organization is the sixth-
largest health system in the state
by inpatient and outpatient vol-
ume, according to fiscal 2020
metrics, and has expertise in ar-
eas ranging from cardiology to
neurosurgery. But the system
has struggled to secure reim-
bursement rates from commer-
cial insurers that are as high as
some of its larger peers. At the
same time, 67 percent of its pa-
tients are on lower-paying gov-
ernment insurance such as Med-
icaid. Though other health sys-
tems that care for high numbers
of Medicaid patients qualify for
additional government funding,
Tufts’s Medicaid numbers aren’t
high enough to meet such
thresholds.
“In general, it’s been a very
challenging time for hospitals, in
particular those with high public
payer shares that don’t have a lot
of clout with [insurers],” said Mi-
chael Chernew, professor of
health care policy at Harvard
Medical School. “To the extent
they are a low-price provider, it
would be a shame to lose them.”
There is also tremendous op-
portunity for the organization,
said Andrew Dreyfus, former
CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Massachusetts and an expert in
the local health care market.
Potato farmers, like Ron and Bernie Smiarowski, would normally have harvested in the next week or two.
Bernie Smiarowksi knows
farming comes with risk. “No
other occupation deals with
Mother Nature and these
weather events,” he said.
However, he and other farm-
ers said the work wasn’t always
so risky. The last three years
have oscillated between very
wet or very dry.
“It could be our worst year
ever,” Smiarowski said. “Farm-
i n g i s a g a m b l e . We’ v e h a d
three crazy years. We’re bound
to have a normal year, right?”
This year’s floods are a blow,
but not a fatal one, he hopes. If
it continues to rain this sum-
mer, though, he’s not so opti-
mistic.
The state is considering of-
fering cash grants to farmers.
Private groups also are working
with the state to provide re-
s o u r c e s , a n d f e d e ra l l o a n s
would be available if the US De-
partment of Agriculture issues
a disaster declaration.
However, many farmers are
not interested in loans. Smiar-
owski said that he takes out
loans at the start of each season
to pay for seed, equipment, and
“As health care costs grow
over the next three to five years,
I think there is an opening for an
academic system in Eastern
Massachusetts to present itself
as the high value, affordable al-
ternative to more expensive sys-
tems,” Dreyfus said. “That’s one
of the challenges before them.”
While the pandemic has hurt
many health systems, Tufts has
felt that pinch more than others.
Burned out and beleaguered
staff left many jobs, creating
shortages. The amount Tufts
paid for contract labor increased
a staggering 1,423 percent, to
$155.4 million in the 12 months
that ended September 2022,
compared to 2019. That increase
was far higher than the 610 per-
cent statewide spending in-
crease on contract labor from
2019 to 2022, largely because
Tufts entered the market for
temporary staff after many of its
peers and had to pay higher
rates for nurses who were then
in higher demand.
Even after Tufts reduced its
reliance on contract labor, the
cost to retain and recruit staff
has gone up, and temporary la-
bor costs remain above where
they were through much of
2021.
But Tufts’s challenges go be-
yond the pandemic and include
the expensive installation of the
electronic medical records sys-
tem Epic. In the 12 months end-
ing September 2022, the system
spent $70 million in one-time
costs related to implementing
the new technology. A spokes-
person did not have an estimate
for the Epic costs the hospital
system incurred this fiscal year.
Like many of its peers, Tufts
has struggled to see more pa-
tients to make up for the added
costs. Problems discharging pa-
tients, due to staffing problems
at nursing homes and rehabilita-
tion hospitals, lead to capacity
challenges that have hamstrung
the system.
Executives have been work-
ing to turn around operations
before the September deadline.
In January, they announced they
T h e B o s t o n
labor, and that the return at
harvest is used to pay them
back.
What the y need now are
grants, he said. Otherwise, Smi-
arowski said, “it’s loans to pay
back loans. That just puts us
further in debt.”
“Farmers are proud people,”
Smiarowski said. “They want to
grow their crops, get paid for
them, make a decent living,
and not ask for money.”
Insurance for farms isn’ t
common in the area, he said.
The only crop that farmers of-
ten consider insuring is tobac-
co, given how easily it is dam-
aged by wind or rain. But that
insurance is expensive, well
more than $1,000 an acre, Smi-
arowski said.
For most crops, the only way
to receive an insurance check is
if the entire field is lost, but
that scenario is unlikely given
the varied elevations of their
fields, the farmer added.
The next step for many farm
workers is to apply fertilizer
and spray fungicides to keep
the soil as healthy as possible,
but with all the standing water,

would lay off 70 people and
eliminate another 170 vacant
positions. The system has also
put a partial hiring freeze on
new administrative roles, and is
looking to consolidate other ad-
ministrative work.
An outside consultant, hired
by Tufts as part of bond require-
ments, has helped the system
strengthen operations, including
taking advantage of its new
medical record system to im-
prove its billing.
The system has also worked
to find new ways to increase rev-
enue, opening 12 new medical/
surgical beds at Tufts Medical
Center and two new outpatient
surgery centers in Medford and
Chelmsford in partnership with
the system’s physicians.
Such plans come as the sys-
tem shut its pediatric hospital
last year, which executives said
was a move intended to expand
care for adult patients.
Plans are also underway to
develop some potential partner-
ships, sell assets, or outsource
what CEO Michael Dandorph
said were “non-core” aspects of
Tufts’s operations, such as IT.
That could help reduce the sys-
tem’s expenses and bring in
more revenue.
“We’re turning over every
rock in terms of where are those
opportunities,” Dandorph said.
The health system isn’t stop-

Smiarowski said he had
been keeping an eye on the ra-
dar when last week’s rain was
inundating Vermont, which
was hit by historic flooding
that devastated communities
there. He knew much of that
water had to come down the
Connecticut River through
Western Massachusetts, but he
didn’t think it would become a
crisis.
Besides destroying this sea-
son’s crops, flooding brings an-
other danger: plant disease.
Some fields are infec ted
with phytophthora, a root-rot-
ting disease that thrives in wet
and humid conditions, Smiar-
owski said. Flood water can
bring that disease to other
fields, as well. Although the dis-
ease can be treated, it’s difficult
to cure and could imperil fu-
ture crops.

to a conflict of interest disclo-

Health and Human Services
Kate Walsh, Tufts Medicine
asked the state agency to “con-
sider financial remedies to help
the health system navigate a
substantial projected operating
loss.” Walsh’s husband works as
chief medical officer for Tufts
Medical Center, and she recused
herself from such consider-
ations.
In an interview, Dandorph
said that the health system
didn’t ask for a specific funding
amount, but that it has met con-
tinually with members of the ad-
ministration to keep them up to
date about Tufts’s financial pic-
ture.
“If there’s . . . funding that’s
going to be put on the table in
terms of continued support for
hospitals that are struggling,
we’re one of those health sys-
tems that are struggling finan-
cially,” Dandorph said, noting
that other systems had also
made similar requests.

coming. The House voted last
Thursday for $180 million in a

some areas, won’t be clear until

the potatoes might be too moist

It’s hard not to feel demoral-
ized when the harvest was only

ins said. On Tuesday, a kayaker
was paddling on top of the
fields.
“When it’s warm, we can ir-
rigate,” she said. “But when it’s

do.”
She had been “in the mid-

sions of climate change, unsure
of what to believe. But the re-

normal to her.

agement Agency funding. To
date, the federal disaster agency
has approved $68.7 million for
Tufts. But the money has to pass
through the state, and $16.4 mil-
lion still has to be released from
the state. The health system has
submitted for another $84.2 mil-
lion in FEMA relief that is work-
ing its way through the approval
process, and anticipates apply-
ing for another $18.7 million.
Through the first six months
of its fiscal year, which ended in
March, the health system report-
ed a $103.9 million operating
loss, slightly ahead of the $123
million operating loss it report-
ed in the same period the year
prior.
The shortfalls have forced the
system to spend money out of its
reserves to fund operations and/
or pay off debt, and its cash and
unrestricted investments
dropped 27.4 percent in the last
six months to $424.8 million.
Tufts has until September to en-
sure the system generates
enough cash flow to be able to
pay off its current debt, a re-
quirement of the bond.
The financial pressures were
echoed in bond rating docu-
ments from February, in which
credit analyst Fitch Ratings
downgraded Tufts to BBB with a
negative outlook, saying the sys-
tem faces the challenge of imple-
menting a turnaround plan to
stabilize its operations and re-
build its reserves.
But Dandorph was confident
about the progress the system
has made and the plan for the
future, even as the work contin-
ued.
“We’ve seen steady decreases
in our losses,” Dandorph said.
“Are we where we want to be?
No, but we’re moving in the
right direction and the trajecto-
ries are moving in the right di-
rection.”

World/Region A9
could be
trouble
for Sunak
Inflation report
seen as highlight
By Mark Landler
and Eshe Nelson
NEW YORK TIMES
LONDON — Prime Minister
Rishi Sunak hopes to hold on to
power by promoting himself as
the repairman for a broken
Britain. With the country’s high
inflation, spiraling debt, and
sputtering growth, it often
seems hard to know where he
should start.
On Wednesday, Sunak got a
faint ray of light amid the per-
vasive economic gloom: The
government announced that
Britain’s inflation rate in June
was 7.9 percent, a larger-than-
expected decline from the pre-
vious month. Still, inflation is
running hotter than in Britain’s
European neighbors, and at
more than twice the rate than
in the United States.
And it is just one of a morass
of economic problems — some
new, others longstanding —
that are hampering Sunak as he
argues that his Conservative
Party, in power for the past 13
years, deserves to remain there
after an election that he must
call by January 2025.
The Conservatives will face
an early test of their political
fortunes Thursday with three
so-called by-elections — special
elections to fill seats in Parlia-
ment vacated by Tory lawmak-
ers. The party is girding itself
for a long day.
“They’re running out of run-
way,” said Tim Bale, a professor
of politics at Queen Mary Uni-
versity of London. “These by-
elections are likely to be a refer-
endum on the government, and
they could lose all three.”
Sunak, a former chancellor
of the Exchequer who once
worked at Goldman Sachs, has
cultivated a reputation as a
technocrat and problem solver.
He has scrapped the supply-side
ideological experimentation of
his predecessor, Liz Truss, and
the have-your-cake-and-eat-it
style of her predecessor, Boris
Johnson.
But Sunak’s return to fiscal
prudence has yet to reinvigo-
rate Britain’s growth. On the
contrary, inflation is forcing the
Bank of England to raise inter-
est rates aggressively to avert a
wage-price spiral. The tight-
money policy threatens to tip
the economy, already stagnant,
into recession. And it is inflict-
ing pain on millions of Britons
who face soaring rents and
higher rates on their mortgag-
es.
Inflation, economists agree,
is likely to keep dropping in the
next six months, perhaps even
enough to meet Sunak’s goal of
reducing the rate to 5.2 percent
by year’s end. But Britain’s oth-
er problems — anemic growth,
low productivity, a labor short-
age, and a crumbling National
Health Service — are not likely
to be fixed in time for him to
claim a full turnaround before
he faces voters.
With deteriorating public fi-
nances, Sunak can neither
spend heavily to raise wages for
striking doctors or railway
workers, nor can he offer tax
cuts. As things stand, he is al-
ready at risk of missing another
of his five pledges: to reduce na-
tional debt. Government debt
has risen to more than 100 per-
cent of gross domestic product
for the first time since 1961, ac-
cording to the latest data.
For two years, the govern-
ment has frozen the income
brackets for personal income
taxes rather than raising them
with inflation, driving up the ef-
fective rates. As a result, Sunak
finds himself in an awkward
paradox: a free-market Conser-
vative heading into an election
with a government that is im-
posing the greatest tax burden
on the electorate since World
War II.
Yet Britain’s core inflation
rate — which excludes volatile
energy and food prices and is a
gauge for domestic price pres-
sures — has remained high at
6.9 percent, compared with 4.8
percent in the United States
and 5.4 percent in the euro-
zone.

here are many reasons to be relieved that a
federal appellate court on Friday pushed
pause on an order dramatically curtailing
the Biden administration’s ability to com-

about dangerous misinformation on their platforms.
For starters, the vagueness and overbreadth of the
July 4 order by US District Judge Terry Doughty was as-
tonishing, severely restricting communications of offi-
cials from a host of agencies — including the depart-
ments of Justice, Health and Human Services, and
Homeland Security. The order prohibited the officials
from meeting or engaging in any other communication
with social media firms “for the purpose of urging, en-
couraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the

containing protected free speech” posted on their plat-
forms.
And the language used by Doughty, a Trump appoin-
tee, in his unprecedented order smacked more of a de-
sire to legislate from the bench than to be an impartial
arbiter of a dispute between the administration and
GOP state attorneys general who claim the administra-
tion is unfairly trying to suppress conservative view-
points online.
In his 155-page order, Doughty accused federal offi-
cials of engaging in “the most massive attack against
free speech in United States’ history,” and said the ad-
ministration “seems to have assumed a role similar to
an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.’ ”
If that language sounds somewhat unhinged — well,
it is. As many a journalist knows, governments at all
levels have always made their views known when offi-
cials feel like something inaccurate or dangerous is
printed or aired. News outlets can heed those requests
— or not. Such communications only cross a line when
they amount to coercion. But the gist of the complaint
against the Biden administration is that such asks of so-
cial media companies are inherently coercive, a breath-
taking conclusion that also seems to assume some of
the world’s largest corporations lack the wherewithal to
say no to the government.
The administration countered that Doughty’s order
violated administration officials’ First Amendment
rights to communicate about dangerous disinformation

it communicates with social media
companies.
about elections and vaccines, and blocks the adminis-
tration’s aim of “working with social media companies
on initiatives to prevent grave harm to the American
people and our democratic processes.”
But as the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals prepares to
hear arguments in the case that is likely to break new
legal ground, and which is almost certain to end up be-
fore the US Supreme Court, two things are already
clear. First, it is incumbent on the Biden administration
to be more transparent about the way it interacts with
social media companies so that courts, and the public,
can ensure that its communications are not crossing the
constitutional red line of coercion.
Also, judges and justices hearing the case should
tread lightly, resisting the urge to make sweeping rul-
ings which, like Doughty’s order, could do more harm
than good.
It is undisputed that even false information is pro-
tected by the First Amendment. But most social media
companies at least claim that they want to keep misin-
formation off their platforms and prevent them from
becoming havens for lies that put the country’s health
and democracy at risk. This task is especially important
given the companies’ use of algorithms that not only al-
low such falsehoods to be posted but also accelerate
their spread, making it easy for such dangerous mis-
truths to go viral.
Also well-established is the role of executive agencies
in giving guidance to private firms, particularly in mat-
ters involving public safety and national security. Even
in his order, Doughty acknowledged the government’s
right to intervene in the case of social media posts in-
volving illegal activity, threats, and malicious cyber ac-
tivity.
As this case makes its way through the appeals pro-
cess, courts should be wary of interfering with the abili-
ty of social media representatives and government offi-
cials to talk to each other absent evidence of the admin-
istration acting in a coercive way — meaning that
officials are not directly or indirectly stating that the
government will take action against social media firms
if they don’t accede to the government’s requests.
The Biden administration can aid the work of courts
by announcing clear guidelines that govern the way it
communicates with social media companies. Such a
move would not only help inform the public but also
stave off any disingenuous accusations that the admin-
istration is acting on the basis of partisanship rather
than public safety concerns.
There is a way to simultaneously protect free speech
rights and the ability of government officials to safe-
guard Americans’ safety and the democratic process. A
key lesson from Jan. 6, 2021, is that false information
spread online can be devastatingly perilous. The admin-
istration and the courts must keep that front of mind.

Boston hospitals have devices used to make dirty bombs.

Why won’t they ditch them?

B
oston Strong turned 10 this year. In
April 2013, two improvised pres-
sure-cooker bombs were detonated
at the finish line of the Boston Mara-
thon, killing three people and injur-
ing more than 200. But imagine if those bombs —
or a bomb set off in Back Bay or Beacon Hill, the
South End, or the Seaport — had spewed radia-
tion. Imagine if the blast required mass evacua-
tions and a cleanup that cost billions of dollars
and was still going on 10 years later.
The risk of such attacks is real around the
world, as thousands of medical devices that con-
tain radioactive materials remain vulnerable to
theft by terrorists looking to build radiological
dirty bombs. Although these sources enable life-
saving blood transfusions and cancer treatments,
they can pose a threat to public safety if misused.
In particular, cesium-137, a radioactive isotope
used for blood irradiation, medical device steril-
ization, and research, poses major risks because
of its widespread use, its presence in low-security
environments, and its powder form, which lowers
the bar to widespread dispersal. If not properly
handled, cesium-137 sources can cause perma-
nent injury or even kill someone who comes in
contact with them for more than a few minutes.
Concerned about the risk, hospitals across the
United States have been working with the federal
government for nearly a decade to replace these
radioactive sources with safe and effective alter-
native X-ray technologies that do not rely on ra-
diological isotopes. But not Boston; we remain an
outlier with several dozen cesium-137 devices —
more than any other city — still in place across
our vast medical and hospital systems.
Although these devices are eligible for replace-
ment under a Department of Energy assistance
program that provides grants toward the pur-
chase of new non-radioisotopic devices and the
removal and disposal of cesium-137 irradiators at
the federal government’s expense, none of the in-
One of the estimated
1,000 blood irradiators in
the United States that use

terrorists stealing the
material, wants hospitals
and blood banks to

newer technologies.

stitutions housing them — including Brigham
and Women’s Hospital, Massachusetts General
Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston
Children’s Hospital, Tufts Medical Center, and
other local universities — have been willing to
make the switch.
Some institutions are simply complacent; oth-
ers have cited the disruption it would pose to
their organization. But if one of their radioactive
sources was stolen and used for nefarious means,
a brief operational disruption would be the least
of their worries. In 2019, the danger was brought
into sharp relief in Seattle, when just a miniscule
amount of cesium-137 was accidentally released
at a loading dock of a medical research building,
a cleanup that cost well over $100 million and
took more than two years. The liability taken on
dwarf that of the Seattle incident.
At the Nuclear Threat Initiative, we partnered
with the New York City Department of Health
and Mental Hygiene and the mayor’s office sever-
al years ago to raise awareness of the risks associ-
ated with cesium-137 devices, leading to the re-
placement of 30 such devices in the city. NTI en-
gaged in similar efforts with the University of
California and Emory University in Atlanta, re-
sulting in the replacement of a combined 65 de-
vices in California and Georgia.
Highlighting the ongoing threat, the Biden ad-
ministration earlier this year identified radioac-
tive source security as one of three main pillars of
its new strategy to counter weapons of mass de-
struction terrorism. A radioactive bomb would
not cause the catastrophic levels of death and de-
struction that would result from a nuclear deto-
nation, but depending on its chemistry, form, and
location, it can easily have devastating conse-
quences.
NTI recently released its sixth Nuclear Securi-
ty Index, which evaluates global efforts by govern-
ments to secure both nuclear and radiological
materials, to prevent them from falling into the
wrong hands. The Index finds that political mo-
mentum to reduce the risks posed by these mate-
rials has diminished over the last several years in
many countries, including the United States.
Boston hospitals have an opportunity to re-
ceive tens of thousands of dollars of grants to-
ward the purchase of new equipment that is just
as effective for medical and research purposes as
the radiological devices they have been using for
decades — while shedding the liabilities and secu-
rity costs associated with cesium sources. Just as
in the aftermath of the Marathon bombing, let’s
keep Boston strong and safe.

GOP corporate culture war
aims to protect white males
T
here are some public offi-
cials who make their views
on race clear, such as Sena-
tor Tommy Tuberville of Al-
abama, whose staunch pub-
lic defense of white nationalists abated
only after a flurry of bad press and blow-
back from within his own party.
But others take a more covert ap-
proach, disguising their efforts to pro-
tect the white power structure that has
always held a grip on American society
as an effort to actually fight racial dis-
crimination.
Racism and gaslighting often go
hand in hand.
The latest example: a group of Re-
publican state attorneys general — pre-
dominantly white and male — threaten-
ing Fortune 100 companies with legal
repercussions if they dare take efforts to
encourage racial diversity within their
workforces.
In a letter sent to the nation’s largest
corporations last week, the 13 GOP state
officials called corporate diversity, equi-
ty, and inclusion efforts “an inversion of
the odious discriminatory practices of
the distant past.” Citing the recent Su-
preme Court ruling banning affirmative
action in colleges and universities, the
letter demanded that companies employ
only race-neutral employment and con-
tracting practices.
“If you choose not to do so, know
that you will be held accountable —
sooner rather than later — for your deci-
sion to continue treating people differ-
ently because of the color of their skin,”
the letter stated.
One surefire way to recognize when
people are being disingenuous is when
they press a solution to something that
isn’t a problem. Claims that workplace
DEI policies are racially odious require
evidence that they serve as a barrier to
entry and advancement to some racial
group. To put it bluntly, they have to
show that white people are being
harmed. But the data clearly show that
corporate America is, and has always
been, a white man’s world.
White men make up about 30 per-
cent of the US population but hold a
majority of board seats of Fortune 100
companies.
That is not to say there haven’t been
strides made, particularly since the
2020 murder of George Floyd and re-
sulting racial awakening in America
spurred many corporate institutions to
state aspirational goals to ensure that
their workplaces are welcoming, inclu-
sive, and supportive of all employees, in-

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spouts nonsense,
but some conspiracy theories are true
P
residential candidate Rob-
ert F. Kennedy Jr. spouts all
kinds of nonsense. A long-
time anti-vaxxer, he recently
suggested that the COVID-
19 virus was “a genetically engineered
bioweapon that may have been ‘ethni-
cally targeted’ to spare Ashkenazi Jews
and Chinese people,” according to the
New York Post.
Many of his rants are offensive or un-
hinged, or both. The Wall Street Journal
has called his campaign “a mix of nostal-
gia and conspiracy theories.” Yet I find
at least two of his unpopular beliefs
quite plausible.
In an interview with New Yorker edi-
tor David Remnick, Kennedy explained
why he thought the CIA had a hand in
the 1963 assassination of his uncle,
President John F. Kennedy. It was pay-
back for JFK’s abandonment of the 1961
CIA-sponsored Bay of Pigs invasion of
Cuba, he explained.
I don’t have a theory of the Kennedy
assassination, but the younger Kenne-
dy’s views are pretty mainstream. Only
one-third of Americans surveyed believe
a lone gunman killed the president. In
2013, on the 50th anniversary of the as-
sassination, a Gallup poll revealed that
61 percent of Americans believed Ken-
nedy died as a result of a conspiracy, in-
volving members of the Mafia, the feder-
al government, or the CIA, in descend-
ing order.
Writing in The New Republic, Walter
Shapiro whomped on RFK Jr.’s purport-
edly conspiratorial idea that “the con-
flict in Ukraine [is] a ‘proxy war’ be-
tween the United States and Russia.”
But isn’t it? Facing an opponent armed
with $23.5 billion worth of weaponry
from the United States, the Russians
T h e
cluding those from marginalized racial
and ethnic communities. By 2022, For-
tune 100 companies reached a high
point of corporate board representation
by women and people of color, at a com-
bined 46.5 percent. But that still means
that more than 53 percent of those
board seats are taken by white men.
A group of 17 Democratic state attor-
neys general, including Andrea Camp-
bell of Massachusetts, sent their own let-
ter to the companies, urging them to
“double-down” on policies that reflect
the value of diversity in their workforces
and boardrooms.
“This Supreme Court decision pro-
vides absolutely no basis to conclude
that a private company cannot engage
in efforts to recruit a diverse applicant
pool and to ensure that workplaces are
welcoming and supportive of people of
all backgrounds,” Campbell told report-
ers in a conference call with several oth-
er attorneys general Wednesday morn-
ing.
What is clear is that the Republicans’
threat to companies has little to do with
actually enforcing workplace nondis-
crimination laws. It’s the latest salvo in
the culture wars that GOP officials have
made the centerpiece of
their party’s platform. It
goes right along with ban-
ning from schools and li-
braries any book that tells
anything but a white-
washed version of his-
certainly view it as a proxy war, and I
agree with them.
Sometimes one person’s conspiracy
theory is another person’s eminently
arguable proposition.
For example: the Federal Reserve. I
remember covering Scott Brown’s 2009
Senate campaign (the successful one),
where I first saw “Abolish the Fed” signs.
What the heck? I had been unaware that
abolishing the Fed, or regulating it out
of existence, had been a crackpot dream
since its founding in 1913.
Sometimes one
person’s conspiracy
theory is another
person’s eminently
arguable proposition.
How unsurprising that presidential
aspirant Governor Ron DeSantis of Flor-
ida recently lashed out at the Fed, sug-
gesting that the mostly men in grey flan-
nel suits were going to prevent Ameri-
cans from pumping gasoline and buying
guns. DeSantis called the Fed “a central
bank which does not have our interest
at heart.”
Why so many conspiracy theories
targeting the Fed? Because it was a con-
spiracy! Don’t take my word for it. In his
book, “America’s Bank: The Epic Strug-
gle to Create the Federal Reserve,” Roger
Lowenstein describes how Rhode Island
Senator Nelson Aldrich arranged a se-
cret meeting of money men at Georgia’s
Jekyll Island Club, “the richest, the most
exclusive, the most inaccessible club” in
B o s t o n G l o b e
tory. It dovetails with efforts to villainize
trans Americans and others within the
LGBTQ community. It dovetails with
cruel and vicious immigration policies,
including a reported policy in Texas au-
thorizing law enforcement to push mi-
grants, including children, back into the
Rio Grande. Republicans seem bent on
protecting the white patriarchy at all
costs.
The party has drifted so far away
from the ideals of small government and
free markets that its leaders are putting
themselves in the C-suites of corpora-
tions rather than letting corporate lead-
ers act on the basis of their own values.
And one value that all corporations
have is making money. Turns out, racial
inequity in the labor force is not a recipe
for big profits. In fact, according to a
World Economic Forum estimate, racial
inequality in the labor market cost the
US economy at least $51 trillion in the
last 30 years. And corporate workplaces
that are more diverse, data show, are
more innovative and profitable.
Still, Republicans can’t quit the cul-
ture wars, meaning that the GOP seems
to value the white, male power structure
over even cold, hard cash. That is quite
tthe party platform.

the world. Working with representatives
of J.P. Morgan & Co., the National City
Bank, Wells Fargo & Co., and the US
Treasury, Aldrich helped midwife the
country’s new central bank, the Federal
Reserve System.
Details of the Jekyll Island confab re-
mained secret for more than a decade.
“The bankers spoke with bitterness at
having to steal about as though they
were criminals,” Lowenstein writes.
“They were conspirators, but patriotic
conspirators.”
In his timely new book about con-
spiracy theories, “Under the Eye of Pow-
er: How Fear of Secret Societies Shapes
American Democracy,” Colin Dickey
writes entertainingly about conspiracy
theories, real and imagined. Real: Yes,
the FBI spied on all manner of legiti-
mate political organizations for decades.
Imagined: Enslaved people working
“under the control of the reptilians” be-
neath the runways of Denver’s airport.
Me thinks not.
Dickey describes how the antebellum
“South became infused with, and ulti-
mately gripped with, conspiracy theo-
ries,” in particular, fears of uprisings
from enslaved people. “If there was a
single term to describe the mood in the
South,” he writes, “it was ‘paranoid.’ ”
But he then cites recent scholarship
showing that “slave uprisings were in
fact quite common, along with smaller
forms of guerilla action that were con-
stant.”
A conspiracy theory that proved to
be true. There are plenty of them
around.

The argument against vaccines
is beside the point. Their value
is clear, proven, and measurable.
The argument against vaccines promoted by Robert F. Ken-
nedy Jr. and letter writer Cherie Slesnick (“They like what
they see in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,” July 17) is that vaccines
can do harm. That is not the pertinent argument, however.
As with most decisions in medicine, the consideration ought
to be: What is the harm if you do something as opposed to
the harm of doing nothing or doing something else instead.
Compared with the pre-vaccination era, current routinely
used childhood and adult vaccinations have saved the lives of
tens of thousands of children and adults in the United States
each year. They also have prevented a large number of chil-
dren from sustaining neurological damage, such as stroke
and encephalitis, often resulting in epilepsy and intellectual,
learning, and motor disability, even when not leading to
death. While there is no doubt that vaccines can and do
harm, the estimates for unexpected death with routinely
used vaccines are in the range of 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 1
million. In relation to COVID-19, the relevant metric ought
to be the 1 in 50,000 cases of clotting or heart inflammation
associated with the vaccine compared with the prevention of
millions of COVID-related deaths and the likely prevention of
long-term organ system damage, including cases related to
the brain and heart.

a Boylston Street lane
Boston isn’t measuring up
to other cities
As a cyclist living in Boston’s West End, I was disappointed to
see other readers’ responses recently in opposition to the pro-
posed bike lane on Boylston Street (“Wheels in motion, but
skidding ahead, for a Boylston Street bike lane,” July 5).
The nonprofit PeopleForBikes recently published its 2023
city ratings, in which Boston scored 28 out of a possible 100
— one of the lowest scores of any large city on the East Coast.
Young professionals like me who move here to pursue our
dream careers are disappointed. Boston advertises itself as a
progressive, sustainable, and equitable city, but these values
don’t seem to apply to those on two wheels. We can’t claim to
be a city with these values when cyclists are deprived of re-
sources that similar cities have found the will to provide.
Mayor Michelle Wu was elected on a platform that includ-
ed a pledge to increase the coverage and connectivity of Bos-
ton’s cycling network. As a Boston resident and voter, I ex-
pect her administration to deliver on this promise.

I’ve been riding my bike around Boston for more than a de-
cade, predating most of the separated lanes and painted
white lines on the shoulder. Poor infrastructure didn’t stop
me from riding. However, in the last decade, I’ve also had
two kids.
My 8-year-old is starting to ride his bike to school, and I
hope it can be a way for him to continue to gain indepen-
dence. But that independence requires a safe bike infrastruc-
ture. I hope that as these redesigns come to our city’s streets,
people can keep my son and me in mind when they think
about the bicyclists who will use the new lanes. We wear our
helmets, stop at red lights, yield to pedestrians, and repre-
sent one less car on the road.
Once there is a bike lane on Boylston, I’m sure you’ll be
able to find us riding down to the Central Library every
chance we get.

time officers arrived, it was too late, the
alleged murderer standing in the drive-
way, bloody and reeking of alcohol, police
said.
“She’s in there,” one of the children, cry-
ing, told police as his mother lay in a pool
of blood in one of her children’s rooms. Po-
lice reports say Hanson sat handcuffed in
the back of a cruiser as more police ar-
rived, sprinting into the house with medi-
cal bags, and as medics carried Nancy
Hanson out on a stretcher, a police officer
trying to do chest compressions as they
raced to an ambulance.
Police took the boys into the backyard
as emergency responders worked at the
scarring scene. The boys were quiet, bare-
foot, in pajamas. One officer noted that, as
he was standing with the children and the
family dog, he could see blood spattered
on a second-floor window.
Now what happens to those kids, who
have lost their mother under unthinkable
circumstances, witnessing something no
child should ever see? Relatives and a Go-
FundMe campaign will help them, but
how does anybody become whole after wit-
nessing years of abuse, let alone the shock-
ing brutality it led to?
After he was booked, Richard Hanson
said he “felt awful for his boys,” accord-
ing to a police report. If that’s really true,
and he’s mentally competent, he could
save those boys the further misery of a
trial by pleading guilty to their mother’s
murder.
Lord knows that even then, his sons
will have plenty to contend with. So will
the community of good souls who care
for them. A whole universe of people
loved Nancy Hanson and her children.
Her death, like that of every domestic vi-
olence victim, leaves vast seas of grief
and rage.
And guilt, as those who knew her and
other victims wonder how they missed the
abuse, or whether they could have done
more to stop it.
Richard Hanson could have ended it at
any time, just by acknowledging what
many men refuse to — that he was married
to his wife, but he didn’t own her.

Decision on affirmative

By Hilary Burns

Wesleyan University said Wednesday it is
ending the practice of favoring children of
alumni in admissions, just weeks after the
Supreme Court struck down race-based af-
firmative action in higher education.
The court’s decision has reignited the
contentious debate over who is granted ad-
mission to the country’s top schools. Now
that students who have endured racial dis-
crimination can no longer receive an advan-
tage when applying to college, civil rights ad-
vocates are calling on schools to stop prefer-

benefits white and wealthy students.

All 7 of Healey’s pardon recommendations approved
Process review
due this year
By Sam Drysdale
STATE HOUSE NEWS SERVICE
All seven pardons Governor
Maura Healey recommended
won approval from the Gover-
nor’s Council on Wednesday,
cementing the first pardons
awarded by a Massachusetts
governor during their first
elected year in office in three
decades.
Healey in June proposed the
pardons, which had earned the
support of the Parole Board be-
fore former governor Charlie
Baker left office in January. She
also announced that she is
planning to reform the clemen-
cy process to make it fairer,
more timely, and minimize ra-
cial disparities.

Maine expands access to later abortions
By David Sharp
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine
will soon expand abortion ac-
cess, joining a half dozen states
that leave it to doctors and pa-
tients to make the decision with-
out restrictions on timing.
Democratic Governor Janet
Mills signed a bill into law
Wednesday that allows abor-
tions at any time if deemed med-
ically necessary by a doctor,
making the law one of the na-
tion’s least restrictive. The previ-
ous law banned abortions after a
fetus becomes viable outside the
womb, at roughly 24 weeks, but
allowed an exception if the pa-
tient’s life is at risk.
“We must recognize the com-
plexity of pregnancy,” Mills said.
“And like every other health care
procedure, we’ve got to take gov-
ernment out of the decision-
making process and put the doc-
tor and the patient in charge.”

which reviews and approves
the governor’s clemency recom-
mendations and judicial nomi-
nations, voted unanimously in
favor of all seven pardons.
“I think our next seven
items are pretty exciting for all
of us,” Lieutenant Governor
Kim Driscoll, who chairs the
Governor ’s Council, said to
councilors ahead of the pardon
votes on Wednesday.
The pardons are aimed at
people convicted on a variety of
charges, one dating back more
than half a century: Edem
Amet, who was convicted in
1995 on drug charges; Xavier
Delvalle, who was convicted in
2006 on breaking and entering
and larceny charges; Glendon
King, who was convicted in
1992 on drug charges; John
Latter, who was convicted of ar-
son in 1966; Deborah Pickard,
who was convicted on several
The law goes into effect 90
days after the state Legislature’s
work wraps up, as soon as next
week.
Mills had said during her re-
election campaign that the old
law didn’t need to be changed.
But she reversed course after
learning of a Maine veterinarian
who needed to travel to Colora-
do for an abortion after learning
at week 32 of her pregnancy that
her unborn son had a fatal con-
dition that would not allow him
to survive.
The veterinarian, Dana
Peirce, was present at the bill
signing, standing behind the
governor alongside medical pro-
viders in white jackets, several
lawmakers, and the executive di-
rector of the Maine Council of
Churches.
Passage of the bill was con-
sidered a foregone conclusion in
the Legislature, where Demo-
crats controlled both chambers,
T h e B o s t o n
charges between 1982 and
1987; Gerald Waloewandja,
who was convicted on drug
charges in 2003; and Terrance
Williams, who was convicted of
assault and battery with a dan-
gerous weapon in 1984.
All seven pardons were rec-
ommended by the Parole Board
during Baker’s tenure, but the
governor did not act on them
before he left office in January,
according to a Healey adminis-
tration official.
“I just want to thank you
and the governor,” Councilor
Marilyn Petitto Devaney told
Driscoll during Wednesday’s
meeting. “I tried hard to get the
former governor to bring these
forward, and you’ve started off
so early with this, that we’re go-
ing to have a wonderful admin-
istration and I look forward to
more pardons.”
Other councilors echoed De-
and there were enough co-spon-
sors to ensure passage.
But the bill nonetheless gen-
erated emotional debate.
Critics said the law’s lan-
guage was broader than neces-
sary if the goal was simply to al-
low abortions in instances of a
fatal fetal anomaly later in a
pregnancy. They said it could
lead to a dramatic increase in
post-viability abortions, and
that it puts too much faith in
doctors to make a determina-
tion.
Large numbers of protesters
had attended the legislative de-
bate. During the signing
Wednesday, however, a lone
demonstrator stood outside the
governor’s Cabinet room hold-
ing a sign that called the law a
“death sentence” for unborn ba-
bies.
National Right to Life criti-
cized the new law on Wednes-
day, with president Carol Tobias
G l o b e
vaney’s statements, saying they
looked forward to approving
more pardons, which forgive
offenses, and commutations,
which reduce sentences.
When Healey recommended
the pardons in June, she said
some of the individuals on the
list face “barriers and uncer-
tainties” in their lives today as a
result of their criminal records.
Latter, who was convicted
about 57 years ago, is unable to
obtain a nursing license in Flor-
ida because of his record, while
Williams has been denied a po-
sition at a private security com-
pany six times due to his con-
viction, according to Healey’s
office.
Williams — who had long
wanted to become a police offi-
cer — joked in June that he is
“too old for the academy” but
said he’s “not too old to help
our community out.” He called
ERIN CLARK/GLOBE STAFF
calling it “open season on the
unborn child in Maine.”
Abortions later in pregnancy,
known as termination for medi-
cal reasons, are rare. Nationally,
about 1 percent happen after 21
weeks, according to US Centers
for Disease Control and Preven-
tion tallies, which do not have
full data from every state.
Nationally, many Republi-
can-controlled states are doing
just the opposite from what
Maine did by either banning or
aggressively restricting abor-
tions since the US Supreme
Court overturned a patient’s
constitutional right to an abor-
tion, leaving it up to individual
states to regulate the procedure.
Beside Maine, six states leave
the decision to get an abortion
to doctors and their patients,
without restrictions. They are
Alaska, Colorado, New Jersey,
New Mexico, Oregon, and Ver-
mont, plus Washington, D.C.

journey.”
“We really need to look at
people who are out there just
like me, who just made a mis-
take years ago who just want
that opportunity to come back
to society,” Williams said. “I
never gave up.”
King is an Army veteran who
has worked for the Boston Fire
Department for more than two
decades. He told reporters that
the pardon would lift a weight
from his shoulders and also al-
low him to exercise his Second
Amendment firearms rights.
“For a gentleman that’s got a
good head on his shoulders to be
labeled a convicted felon for
years is not a good thing,” King
said. “I’ve done everything by
the book, everything right. I just
want to get rid of that label.”

pardons during her first year in

Bill Weld did so in 1991.
Despite the initial flurry, the
Parole Board announced Mon-
day that it will not continue ad-
vancing any pardon requests to
Healey’s desk until the gover-
nor finishes a promised review
of the clemency process.
“In the governor’s first an-

ency, she indicated that the ad-
ministration is currently work-
ing to modernize the state’s
clemency guidelines to center
fairness and racial and gender
equity,” Timothy McGuirk of

with the supplies to Ukrainian
animal shelters, many of which
have been shelled and destroyed
in the war, according to a press
release from the veterinary asso-
ciation.
Dr. Shroff said that they have
already shipped 500 pounds of
medication to Ukraine, includ-
ing antibiotics, flea medication,
tick medication, antibacterial
shampoo, and sutures, among
other items. However, Dr. Shroff
said shipping the medicine has
been costly.
“Last month we shipped off a
couple hundred pounds of mate-
rials; that was $1,500,” Shroff
said. “And we recently shipped
off another package that was
$3,700.”
Dr. Shroff ’s nonprofit, Let’s
Save the Strays, has started a
fund-raiser to help offset the
cost of shipping the medication.
In addition to medicine for
abandoned animals, Ukraine al-
so needs more veterinarians to
keep up with the volume of
strays. Dr. Monica Mansfield,
president of association, said
that because there are so many
animals who need care in
Ukraine, even families who ha-
ven’t been displaced from their
homes are struggling to find
care for their pets.
“It’s an unimaginable chain
of events in terms of how it af-
fects the animals,” Dr. Mansfield
said. “In the veterinary hospi-
tals, there isn’t enough staff,
there isn’t electricity, so even for
people who haven’t had to aban-
don their animals, getting care
is still hard to do.”
In an effort to increase the
number of veterinarians in
Ukraine, Dr. Mansfield is de-
signing educational programs
with Tufts University’s Cum-
mings School of Veterinary Med-
icine for Ukrainian veterinari-
ans and veterinarian students.
Dr. Mansfield said that during
the pandemic, the veterinary as-
sociation used Zoom to host
courses for Massachusetts veter-
inarian students and has since
built a library of online educa-
tional material.
The dean of Tufts’s veterinary
school, Dr. Alastair Cribb, ar-
ranged for Dr. Vlad Ushakov, a
veterinarian who fled Ukraine,
to work at the veterinary school
and act as a liaison between
Ukrainian veterinarians and the
International Aid Committee,
Dr. Mansfield said.
Dr. Shroff is optimistic about
the impact the project can make
and hopes others will join the
cause.
“My dream is for veterinary
medical associations from all
over the country to have this op-
tion,” Dr. Shroff said. “If one por-
tion of the country can gather
500 pounds of medication in
just a few months, imagine what
the whole country can do.”

dent Chuck Morse, who has
made no secret of his plans to
run for governor if Sununu did
not, announced his bid for the
Republican nomination. Morse
lauded Sununu’s track record.
“I’m proud to have worked
with him to put together a con-
servative, pro-jobs, pro-growth,
family first economic agenda
that has made New Hampshire
the envy of New England and
the nation,” Morse wrote in a
tweet.
“I want to put my experience
and leadership to work for the
people of New Hampshire to
keep moving forward on a path
of growth and prosperity for all,”
Morse added.
Democrats pounced on
Morse’s announcement. The
state party chairman, Ray Buck-
ley, said Morse “ran an embar-
rassing campaign” in last fall’s
GOP primary for US Senate.
“We look forward to seeing
Chuck have a similar experience
in his run for governor,” Buckley
said.
Another potential GOP can-
didate, former US senator Kelly
Ayotte, released a statement
thanking Sununu for his work,
and she said to expect a big an-
nouncement from her in the
days ahead.
“The battle to ensure that
New Hampshire keeps our Live
Free or Die spirit must continue.
Like many Granite Staters, I fear
that we are one election away
from turning into Massachu-
setts,” Ayotte said. “Our next
Governor must be a tough and
tested conservative who will
fight to ensure that New Hamp-
shire remains safe, prosperous,
and free. I look forward to an-

nouncing some big news in the
coming days.”
About half an hour before
she released her statement, a
seemingly new Twitter account
with the handle “AyotteWar-
Room” tweeted a picture of an
announcement from “Kelly Ay-
otte for New Hampshire,” saying
the former senator “has officially
declared her candidacy for Gov-
ernor of New Hampshire.” It is
unclear who controls that ac-
count. A spokesperson for Ay-
otte said the “AyotteWarRoom”
account is fake.
Other potential Republican
candidates include current edu-
cation commissioner Frank
Edelblut and former congressio-
nal candidate Robert Burns.
Reached by phone, Edelblut
declined Wednesday to say
whether he would join the race.
He said he would make an an-
nouncement in the next couple
of days. Edelblut thanked Su-
nunu and lauded their work to
advance school choice policies in
the state.
Burns could not immediately
be reached for comment.
Sununu said he would be
open to endorsing in the GOP
gubernatorial primary.
“I guess we’ll see who’s run-
ning. ... I’m never afraid to get
behind candidates I believe
PHELAN M. EBENHACK/ASSOCIATED PRESS/FILE
strongly in,” he said. “If there’s a
great candidate out there, I’m
more than happy to get behind
them.”
When asked about Morse’s
newly declared candidacy, Su-
nunu said he expects there to be
“a lot of candidates” in the race.
On the Democratic side,
there are two declared candi-
dates: Executive Councilor
Cinde Warmington and Man-
chester Mayor Joyce Craig.
Warmington, who was the
first candidate to jump into the
2024 governor’s race, said Su-
nunu’s decision had no impact
on her, and she passed up an op-
portunity to criticize Craig.
“ What the people of New
Hampshire want to hear is what
I’m going to do for the people of
New Hampshire. That’s what
I’m talking about,” she said,
pointing to reproductive health
care, public education, and af-
fordable housing as among her
top priorities.

Johns Hopkins University saw

“Alumni have been extremely
supportive and very proud of the
university, especially given the
recent Supreme Court decision,”
Roth said. “There are people
who give with an expectation
that their daughter or son will be
helped [in the admissions pro-
cess], but I think most people
give because they believe in the
value of the school. And if
schools do the right thing, we
have a better chance of restoring
some of the trust and confidence
[in higher education] we’ve lost
from the public here in the Unit-

Roth added that he values

those students are admitted on

A group of Democratic attor-

sachusetts AG Andrea Camp-
bell — told CEOs from the coun-
try’s Fortune 100 companies
Wednesday to “double down”
on diversity efforts and ignore
Republican calls threatening le-
gal action for doing so.
This comes after 13 Republi-
can attorneys general signed a
letter last week warning com-
panies about using racial hiring
quotas or preferences in light of
the recent US Supreme Court
decision that ended race-based

“This Supreme Court deci-
sion provides absolutely no ba-
sis to conclude that a private
company cannot engage in ef-
forts to recruit a diverse appli-
cant pool and to ensure their
workplaces are welcoming and
supportive of people of all back-
grounds,” Campbell said during
a virtual press conference
Wednesday with some of 20
Democrats who signed onto the
response letter.
Campbell, who took office in
January as the first Black wom-
an to serve as the state’s highest
prosecutor, said having a “di-

In addition to Johns Hop-
kins, Amherst College ended leg-
acy preferences in 2021 and ex-
panded financial aid for low-

Other Massachusetts colleges
that told the Globe they do not
consider legacy as a factor in ad-
missions include MIT, Boston
University, Emerson College,
University of Massachusetts Am-
herst, and Worcester Polytechnic
Institute.
A spokesperson for Tufts Uni-
versity confirmed Wednesday
that the school expects to review
its use of legacy preferences fol-
lowing an internal study; some
of its graduate schools, including
the medical school, have already
ended the practice.
Rob Bielby, managing direc-
tor at the higher education prac-

said he believes it will “take an-
other intervention from the gov-
ernment to fully terminate” lega-

keep seeking ways to create

In the Democrats’ response
letter, which was penned by Ne-
vada Attorney General Aaron
Ford, prosecutors told compa-
nies the letter from the 13 Re-
publicans “is intended to intim-
idate you into rolling back the
progress many of you hav e
made.”
“We write to reassure you
that corporate efforts to recruit
diverse workforces and create
inclusive work environments
are legal and reduce corporate
risk for claims of discrimina-
tion,” the letter said.
Ford said that they intend to
stand “shoulder to shoulder”
with businesses who continue
to undertake initiatives that
aim to diversify their ranks.
“We will fight back” against
attempts by some on the right
to take legal action against that,
the letter reads.
In their letter last week, Re-
publicans wrote the Supreme
Court opinion should “place ev-
ery employer and contractor on
notice” and that they should
“refrain from discriminating on
the basis of race, whether under
the label of ‘diversity, equity,
and inclusion’ or otherwise,”
The attorneys general said
they “intend to enforce the law
vigorously.”
“Treating people differently
because of the color of their
skin, even for benign purposes,
is unlawful and wrong,” they
wrote. “Companies that engage
in racial discrimination should
and will face serious legal con-
sequences.”
The Republicans contended
that initiatives such as stated

al complaint calling for an inves-
tigation into Harvard Universi-

as well as those that benefit the
children of donors. That group,
Lawyers for Civil Rights, ap-
plauded Wesleyan’s decision and
urged other colleges to follow
suit.

right direction toward leveling
the playing field for applicants of
color by breaking down unfair
barriers to higher education,”

The Republicans said that
race-based efforts might be well
intentioned to fix some of the
“odious” racist hiring practices
of the past, but they don’t cre-
ate the outcomes that the pro-
ponents want.
“Race, though, is a poor

Roth, the Wesleyan presi-
dent, said that ending legacy
preferences is just one step the
college is taking to maintain a
diverse study body following the
Supreme Court decision. The
college, which enrolls 3,253 total
students, is also “making a push
to get into high schools in rural
America,” to reach students who
might not have considered an
education at a private college in
New England. He told the Globe
earlier this month that it is also
important for elite colleges to
spread the word about generous
institutional financial aid poli-
cies for low-income students.
“They may not have consid-
ered us because of price and in
fact, if they have no resources,
it’s really [close to] free to come
to us and cheaper than going to
the local state school,” Roth said.

$20m set aside for
nurse recruitment
By Alysa Guffey
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
As hospitals continue to bat-
tle nursing shortages that have
over whelmed understaffed
health care workers, the Univer-
sity of Massachusetts Boston
and Mass General Brigham an-
nounced Thursday they are in-
vesting $20 million to help re-
cruit hundreds of students to
the college’s diversity in nursing
program.
The investment, which aims
to bring in nurses from under-
represented communities to the
college’s Clinical Leadership
Collaborative for Diversity in
Nursing program, comes as
Massachusetts nurses are exit-
ing the industry in droves. Near-
ly a fifth of nurses in the state
plan to leave the field within two
years, a survey released in
March reported.
“There is not a greater need
in the Commonwealth than pro-
ducing more nurses and more
diverse nurses,” said UMass
president Marty Meehan in an
interview.
UMass Bos ton and Mass
General Brigham will each con-
tribute $10 million in the invest-
ment, according to a joint press
release Thursday.
The funding will support the
recruitment of more than 400
students to the program over
the next five years, the release
said, increasing the annual aver-
age from 20 students to 80. Par-
ticipants will also have the op-
portunity to earn a behavioral
health equity certificate.
In addition to financial aid,
enrolled students will receive
mentorship for the first three
years of the program, and up
until they complete their first
year as a working nurse.
Lindsey Desameau, a Haitian
American who graduated in
May from UMass Boston, said
participating in the program
lessened the financial burden of
finishing school. Now a nurse at

which offers online and hybrid
college courses in high schools
with large populations of impov-
erished students. Roth taught
one of these courses and said it’s
a great way for students to real-
ize they can handle the workload
at a school like Wesleyan.
Also Wednesday, Dartmouth
College launched its Institute for
Black Intellectual and Cultural
Life, which will offer academic
programs and community
events and help the Ivy League
school recruit and retain Black
faculty, students, and staff, a
spokesperson said.
“The institute will provide an
important interdisciplinary
foundation for the entire com-
munity on race and Black cul-
ture that will be a model for the
Ivy League,” Dartmouth provost
David Kotz said in a statement.

she said she is “able to be that
bridge to other people of color in
their health care providers.”
At Mass General Brigham,
the nursing workforce — the
front-line caregivers of the
health care system — is not as
diverse as the rest of system,
said chief human resources offi-
cer Rose Sheehan. The diversity
program “creates a pipeline
with a school that has an incred-
ibly diverse population of nurs-
es,” Sheehan said in an inter-
view.
While Mass General Brigham
has continued to experience
nurse shortages, Sheehan said
the system has started to see va-
cancies and turnover decrease.
Yet, the efforts are still wel-
comed in full force.
“The program won’t solve all
of our challenges and needs but
it will clearly help us,” Sheehan
said.
Since its establishment, the
UMass Boston and Mass Gener-
al Brigham partnership has pro-
vided hands-on experience to
135 graduate and undergradu-
ate nursing students, the release
said. In the 2022-23 academic
year, UMass Boston enrolled
827 undergraduate nursing stu-
dents, said UMass spokesperson
John Hoey.
When students are recruited
to the program, they are eligible
for employment within the Mass
General Brigham system, the re-
lease said.
Meehan said he hopes the
college’s diversity program will
serve as a model for other
UMass campuses.
Other states are trying to re-
cruit nurses even earlier. Rhode
Island is one such example,
where a charter high school al-
lows students to graduate with
certified nursing assistant li-
censes and college credits — all
before stepping foot in a nursing
school.

State
House to
reopen
after fire
Officials cite
‘electrical faults’
By Matt Stout
and Samantha J. Gross
GLOBE STAFF
The Massachusetts State
House will reopen Thursday af-
ter investigators determined a
sub-basement fire that spewed
carbon monoxide into the his-
toric building and prompted of-
ficials to close it to the public
was accidental.
The apparent electrical fire
on Tuesday afternoon forced a
building-wide evacuation and
prompted officials to close the
State House on Wednesday
“out of an abundance of cau-
tion” as the investigation con-
tinued into the cause of the
fire.
David Procopio, a State Po-
lice spokesperson, said Wed-
nesday that investigators deter-
mined the fire was accidental
and started by “electrical
faults” in two lines that run
from an electrical vault near a
guard shack to a pull box in the
building’s sub-basement.
He said there is nothing “to
suggest the fire was intention-
ally set.”
Hours before the fire on
Tuesday, the State House had
been evacuated after a separate
fire alarm went off. Procopio
said the two incidents were not
connected and the first alarm
was accidentally triggered by
two visitors who mistakenly
pulled it thinking it was a
“mechanism to open a door.”
Tammy Kraus, superinten-
dent of the State House, said in
a separate statement that the
building was “safe to reopen”
Thursday.
The fire was confined to the
electric room, and officials are
working to “identify the scope
of repair and create a work
plan that will include upgrad-
ing the transformer electrical
lines.”
High voltage wires that feed
into a transformer in the State
House’s sub-basement began
burning, causing the fire short-
ly after 2 p.m. Tuesday, fire offi-
cials have said. It was extin-
guished by 5 p.m. Boston Fire
Commissioner Paul Burke had
said that the location, the type
of fire, and the dangerous
fumes it produced prevented
firefighters from quickly put-
ting it out.
The building’s closure on
Wednesday threw a temporary
wrench into state government
affairs. Officials either canceled
or moved planned hearings and
meetings online, and politi-
cians and staff worked remote-
ly. A Governor’s Council meet-
ing, where officials approved
seven pardon recommenda-
tions from Governor Maura
Healey, was held virtually, for
example.
But there still was some ac-
tivity in the building. At the
guard tower on Bowdoin Street
early Wednesday afternoon,
legislative staff and a reporter
lined up to be escorted into the
building, one by one, with a De-
partment of Conservation and
Recreation ranger.
Inside, the hallways were
noisy with professional air

filters to clean the air and
improve indoor air quality, as
well as machines provided by
BELFOR, which restores
properties damaged by fire,
wind, water, and other natural
disasters, according to its
website.
According to the Boston Fire
Department, responders had
worked for hours Tuesday “us-
ing positive pressure to push
the dangerously high levels of
carbon monoxide out of the
State House.”
Kraus said “air scrubbers”
would operate throughout
Wednesday evening and poten-
tially Thursday to absorb any
residual odors.

fines,” she said. “I plan to en-
g a g e with this process and I
have full faith and trust that the
court is going to handle this
with integrity.”
On a “clear and dry” June 30
afternoon, police said, Lara was
driving a Honda Civic down
Centre Street during rush hour
at twice the speed limit, going at
least 53 miles per hour with her
7-year-old in the back seat.
One witness told police he
‘I would like to see
her be responsible
for the damage she
caused, but she’s
not going to do
that.’
GEORGIA KALOGERAKIS
Owner of the home that was hit
in the crash
was in his parked car preparing
to drive away when he noticed a
car, which turned out to be the
one Lara was driving, traveling
at a “high rate of speed.” He did
not proceed into the street, fear-
ing the sedan would hit his car,
according to the report. He saw
the car make a hard left turn in-
to a fence before coming to a
rest in some bushes and a front
porch.
An investigator noted in the
report that “no evidence of
braking was observed,” accord-
ing to the photos from the
scene.
The crash sent Lara’s son to
Boston Children’s Hospital,
where he received several
stitches. One investigator noted
there were multiple blood stains
visible in the car after the crash.
Police contacted the state
Department of Children and
Families because Lara’s son was
riding in the back seat without a
booster seat, which is required
for children under age 8 or who
are under 57 inches tall, accord-
ing to the police report.
Few new details regarding
the crash were offered in court
on Wednesday. At the clerk
magistrate’s hearing, a pair of
police officers read from re-
ports, the details of which had
already been made public. One
of the officers went through his
investigation and explained
how he came to the conclusion
that Lara was driving more than
twice the speed limit of 25 miles
per hour.
Lara’s attorney, Carlton E.
Williams, said that the idea that
someone could estimate speed
to fractions of a mile per hour
“seems difficult to imagine.”
First Assistant Clerk Magis-
trate Paul Troy pointed out that
the car left the roadway, tra-
versed the sidewalk, went
through a fence, and struck a
house.
“That meets the elements of
reckless operation,” said Troy.
But Williams argued that
Lara was faced with a troubling
choice: Either hit a car or turn
to avoid it.
“I’m not suggesting that’s a
safe thing to do, but I’m defi-
nitely suggesting that’s a safer
thing to do,” Williams said.
Troy replied, “I would sug-
gest that’s not your only option.”
When police make an arrest
at the scene, they have already
determined probable cause for
the charges they are bringing
against someone. If they don’t
arrest someone at the scene but
investigators are later looking to
bring forward charges, such as
in Lara’s case, probable cause
can be determined at a clerk
City Councilor Kendra Lara said: “I have full faith and trust that the court is going to handle
this with integrity.”
m a g i s t r a t e ’s h e a r i n g . O n
Wednesday, probable cause was
de termined for all charges
against Lara, meaning the mat-
ter proceeded to an arraign-
ment.
“I would like to see her be re-
sponsible for the damage she
caused, but she’s not going to do
that,” Georgia Kalogerakis, the
83-year-old owner of the Centre
Street home Lara crashed into,
said at the courthouse Wednes-
day.
At her arraignment, condi-
tions of Lara’s release included
no arrests and no driving with-
out a valid license. Should she
violate those conditions, she
could face up to 60 days in jail.
At the courthouse, a few law-
makers showed up to support
Lara, including state Represen-
tative Russell E. Holmes and
City Councilors Ricardo Arroyo,
Julia Mejia, and Tania Fer-
nandes Anderson, who blew
Lara a kiss from across a bench
as she awaited her arraignment.
Afterwards on the steps of
the courthouse, Lara said she
was “committed to seeing this
process through.”
She was then mobbed by the
press while walking to a car, as
well as by a few hecklers, one of
whom screamed for her to re-
sign. A short time later, Lara ar-
rived at City Hall for the City
Council’s weekly meeting.
In a separate set of legal
challenges for Lara, the city is
scheduling a hearing to deter-
mine whether she lives in her
district after five residents last
week formally alleged that she
does not. Lara has said emphat-
ically that she does live in Dis-
JOHN TLUMACKI/GLOBE STAFF
trict 6, which includes Jamaica
Plain and West Roxbury, and
those who filed complaints did
not immediately provide evi-
dence to the city that she does
not.
Council candidates must live
in the districts they seek to rep-
resent for one year before the
general election; district coun-
cilors must live in the districts
they represent.
Sabino Piemonte, head assis-
tant registrar of voters for Bos-
ton, notified the city’s Elections
Commission Wednesday that
the city is taking the “necessary
steps” to schedule a hearing
about Lara’s residency.
“When objections to nomi-
nation papers are filed, the Elec-
tions Commission, along with
the Chief Justice of the Boston
Municipal Court, sits as the Bos-
ton Ballot Law Commission to
consider the objections and re-
lated evidence presented by the
parties,” Piemonte wrote.
The people who challenged
Lara’s residency “will carry the
burden” of proving their claims,
Piemonte wrote, and “if they
make a showing based upon evi-
dentiary and objective informa-
tion, the responsibility will shift
to Councilor Lara.”
In an inter view with the
Globe last week, Lara said, “I
can unequivocally confirm that
I live” on Saint Rose Street in Ja-
maica Plain, citing the address
that she gave the city’s elections
department to get on this fall’s
ballot.
Lara is also registered to vote
at that address, city records
show.
The city received challenges
last week from Rasheed Wal-
ters, Anthony Strong, Kerry
Castor, Jeanne Black, and Ste-
phen Morris. One challenge,
from Morris, was received just
after a 5 p.m. deadline for filing
such objections.
Walters, who has contribut-
ed to The Boston Herald, was
one of the plaintiffs challenging
the city over its new political
map in long-running federal lit-
igation over redistricting. An-
other challenge came from An-
thony Strong and an email ad-
dress affiliated with the “Boston
Accountability Network,” which
both match names of vocal Twit-
ter accounts critical of Lara,
Mayor Michelle Wu, and other
progressives.

Why actors
and writers
are striking
over residuals
By Andrew Dalton
L
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OS ANGELES — “The residu-
als are out there,” read a pick-
et sign held by actor David
Duchovny, echoing the tag-
line of his TV series “The X Files.”
Residuals are a central issue of the
current simultaneous strikes of Holly-
wood actors and screenwriters, and a
subject on picket lines. While they once
handsomely rewarded stars with re-
watchable hits like Duchovny, union
members say they’ve since diminished
to a trickle as the industry has shifted
to streaming. Here’s a look at how the
system works and the experience of
those who receive them — or don’t.
WHAT ARE RESIDUALS?
Residuals are long-term payments to
those who worked on films and televi-
sion shows, negotiated by unions, for
reruns and other airings after the initial
release. The basic pay structure was de-
veloped in 1960, the last time writers
and actors were on strike together.
Traditionally, actors and writers are
paid for each time a show runs on
broadcast or cable television, or when
someone buys a DVD, a Blu-ray disc, or
(long ago) a VHS tape.
The payments, which decline over
time, are pegged to factors including
the length of a movie or show, the size
of a role, the budget of a production,
and where the film or show is offered.
While streaming companies techni-
cally pay residuals, both unions and
their members say the amounts and
pay timelines leave actors and writers
with a pittance of what they once re-
ceived — and those who were once paid
for reruns of network shows often get
nothing now.
HOW MUCH ARE THEY WORTH?
Like all money in Hollywood,
amounts run the gamut. More than a
decade after the show ended, the cast of
“Friends” was still making millions an-
nually.
But residual payments can easily
amount to just a few cents. Some actors
are sharing their residuals on social me-
dia, including Kimiko Glenn of Netflix's
“Orange Is the New Black,” who made a
TikTok video of a statement showing
only $27 in total for foreign residuals
earned over the decade since the show
began.
But even modest payments can be
essential to a lower-tier performer’s
livelihood.
“Residuals, that’s how we live,” said
actor Whitney Morgan Cox, who has a
handful of credits for small roles.
“There are our initial paychecks, which
helps, but then there are our residuals,
which help us with our groceries and
our day-to-day lives.”
The lack of such a steady income can
mean the loss of union health insurance
for members, who are required to earn
$27,000 annually to qualify for cover-
age. The vast majority don’t qualify.
WHAT'S THE POPULARITY
PROBLEM?
Streaming residuals are largely un-
tethered from the popularity of the
movie or show they are tied to. Most
streaming services are loath to release
specific viewership figures at all. Per-
formers say being part of a hit now has
little meaning.
Actor Chris Browning appeared in
the movie “Bright” with Will Smith,
which Netflix touted as a heavily
watched hit.
“If it was back in the old DVD resid-
uals days, I would have got a $25,000
residual check,” Browning said. “I got
$271 from Netflix.”
WHAT WAS ON THE NEGOTIATING
TABLE?
While little has been revealed about
the details of writers’ contract negotia-
tions, which ended May 2, the Screen
Actors Guild-American Federation of
Television and Radio Artists on Monday
released an outline of the negotiations
when talks broke off July 12.
The union said negotiators asked
studios to consider a “comprehensive
plan for actors to participate in stream-
ing revenue, since the current business
model has eroded our residuals in-
come.” The answer, the union said, was
simply “no.”
The Alliance of Motion Picture and
Television Producers, which represents
the employers, said in response that
SAG-AFTRA’s public descriptions “mis-
characterize” and “deliberately distort”
the negotiations.
On higher budget productions, the
union said it sought improved residuals
for the continued availability of movies
and shows on subscription streaming
services. SAG-AFTRA said there was
progress on this issue, but that “signifi-
cant gaps” remain between the sides.

‘We have to make sure that
Black people are at the center’
By Nicole Kagan

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
he exhibition “Slavery in
Boston,” which opened
last month at Faneuil
Hall, tells the city’s his-
tory of slavery through
objects, documents, and stories. It’s
the culmination of five years of re-
search and community outreach,
and it’s also a point of controversy:
When Mayor Michelle Wu intro-
duced the show, activists protested
because of its location in a building
named after an enslaver.
The two-story exhibition tells the
stories of individual enslaved African
and Native American people on the
first floor, and provides historical
context and information about en-
slavers in the basement. In 1990 and
2010, when archeologists excavated
at Faneuil Hall, they found more
than 38,000 artifacts, including pot-
tery and metal tools made by en-
slaved people. A portion of these
findings are on display.
Curators sought community in-
put to shape the show’s narrative,
said Joe Bagley, one of the three cu-
rators, so they hosted listening ses-
sions with religious leaders, museum
groups, and individuals.
Kyera Singleton, executive direc-
tor of the Royall House and Slave
Quarters in Medford, helped orches-
trate these conversations while Jared
Hardesty, a scholar of slavery in New
England, focused on historical re-
search. Over the past year, they held
five sessions, both virtual and in-per-
son, to understand what Bostonians
thought an exhibit on slavery in Bos-
ton should look and feel like.
Since it opened, “Slavery in Bos-
ton” has been a topic of debate, but
rather than be the last word on the
subject, curators said they want to
encourage a continuing conversa-
tion. It’s why they created a digital
version of the exhibition to be con-
First trailer out for locally-filmed ‘The Holdovers’

he first trailer for “The
Holdovers,” an upcoming
movie about a fictional
New England prep school
starring Paul Giamatti, was released
Wednesday, showcasing several film
locations shot around Massachusetts
in early 2022.
In the film, directed by Alexander
Payne (“Sideways,” also starring Gia-
matti, and “The Descendants”), Gia-
matti plays Paul Hunham, a hard-
nosed professor at Barton Academy.
It’s the winter of 1970, and Hunham
has been saddled with what one
character calls “baby-sitting duty”
during the school’s two-week break,
requiring him to keep watch over
any “holdovers,” or those students
who have nowhere to go for the holi-
days.
Dominic Sessa, a 2022 Deerfield
Academy alumnus, makes his film
debut as Angus Tully, one of the
holdover residents — a troublemaker

sidered a “living document” and an
anonymous feedback form. The exhi-
bition is set to run indefinitely, and
Bagley said the curatorial team be-
lieves it will stay up “forever.”
They’ve also discussed setting up du-
plicates at local libraries around the
city.
The Globe recently spoke with
Singleton about the community out-
reach she and the curatorial team
did while organizing the show — and
the outreach they still plan to do.
Q. How did you approach the com-
munity listening

from teenagers to 60 or 70. Many
came from Roxbury, others from
other parts of the city.
One of the main questions that I
had was: What is the legacy of slav-

in the 18th century because we
know that it really does impact Black
and brown communities on a day-to-
day basis.
Q. What feedback did you get from
community members?
A. People wanted to feel that their
histories were recognized. Not just
the history of slavery, but their histo- ple? It’s not enough to say, “Oh, we

Though the teacher and student
“Our history is more than slavery.”
And so for me, that was really impor-
tant to talk about. Also, the history
of slavery is not just Black people’s
history; it’s American history, and we
need to remember that. But when
we’re talking about these stories, we
have to make sure that Black people
are at the center.
Q. How did you decide which objects
and documents to include?
A. I wanted to be sure that we high-
lighted as many enslaved and free
Black women as possible so that we
could understand
the monumental
accomplishments
they’ve made to
the city of Boston.
There’s Zipporah
Potter Atkins,
who became one of the first Black
Boston. We should talk more about
Chloe Spear, who left behind an in-
ventory that provides a glimpse into
what Black people collected in their
homes. We also couldn’t have a time-
line that didn’t highlight the Moth-
ers for Adequate Welfare or the
League of Women for Community
Service.
Can you talk about this curatorial de-
cision?
A. The silhouettes are there to mark
the fact that we do not have these de-
pictions. We don’t often have photo-
graphic evidence. We don’t have
paintings because Black people
weren’t deemed worthy of painting.
So how do we represent Black peo-

silhouette was a way to represent the
fact that both free and enslaved
Black people were literally being cut
out of that kind of memory, that vi-
sual representation.
Q. This exhibition is the result of five
years of work. How does it feel for
you to walk through it?
A. For me, what’s great is to see that
people are stopping and engaging
with it. I think it’s really important
for people to walk into Faneuil Hall
and have to contend with slavery.
Q. Why Faneuil Hall?
A. Faneuil Hall is typically known as
the “Cradle of Liberty.” But how
could that possibly be when we
know that Peter Faneuil built his
wealth from buying and selling en-
slaved people, and the money he
amassed from the slave trade was
used to construct this very building?
This exhibit challenges the mytholo-
gy surrounding Faneuil Hall. You
cannot walk through the building
without knowing who Peter Faneuil
was or what he did, and that’s really
powerful. But more importantly,
you’ll know the names of the Black
and brown people who were en-
slaved to build that wealth.
Q. Can you explain the decision to
create an online version?
A. The great thing about the virtual
exhibit is that we can make changes
in real time. We can add stories or
flesh out details if people want to
know more about different things.
The goal is for it to be a living exhib-
it. We want people to know that
we’re hearing them, and that we’re
taking their questions and concerns
seriously.

Not throwing money at their problems

Ben Volin
ON FOOTBALL
What does $100 million buy you in the NFL?
The Bills and Patriots are about to find out.
The Bills are spending $301 million on their
team in 2023. That’s not their salary-cap number,
that’s $301 million in cold, hard cash, straight
from owner Terry Pegula’s pocket. It ranks second
in the NFL behind the Browns ($302.2 million).
The Patriots, meanwhile, are spending $201.6
million in cash on their 2023 roster, which ranks
31st in the NFL.
One organization is showing urgency to win
the Super Bowl, throwing every possible resource
at improving the roster. And it’s not the Patriots,
even though they finished 8-9 last year and ha-
ven’t won a playoff game in four seasons. The Pa-
triots have spent more than only the rebuilding
Rams ($189.4 million), and just behind the re-
building Packers ($205.8 million). League average
is $245.6 million, per the NFL Players Association.
The issue came to a head last week when re-
ceiver DeAndre Hopkins chose the Titans over the
Patriots. The decision likely came down to money
— the Titans offered Hopkins a $12 million base
salary and $3 million in incentives, and the Patri-
ots reportedly weren’t close.
The Patriots should have plenty of cash — the
NFL’s TV deals practically print money for the 32
teams. All it would have taken is increasing their
offer by a few extra million dollars, and the Patri-
ots would have had a legitimate No. 1 receiver.
Yet the Patriots passed once again, leaving Mac
Jones with one of the more underwhelming re-
ceiving corps in the AFC.
The Patriots’ cash spending has been near the
bottom of the NFL since Tom Brady left after
2019, when they ranked 11th. In 2020, they hit
the reset button with Cam Newton and ranked
32nd in cash spending. In 2021, they splurged on
free agents to make up for years of poor drafts,
and ranked third. But the Patriots ranked 27th in
2022, and now 31st in 2023.
That’s a bottom-six ranking in three of four
years. That’s not doing what it takes to field a
championship roster. And it’s potentially wasting
the extraordinarily cheap contract of Jones, who
will make only $2 million this year and next.
You’re supposed to spend big on the rest of the ros-
ter when you have a quarterback on a rookie deal,
not sit on your stockpile of cash.
Robert Kraft talked a big game at the owners’
meetings in March about Bill Belichick needing to

A’s loss
spells
trouble
for Sox
With deadline looming,
inconsistency reigns
By Julian McWilliams
GLOBE STAFF

Athletics 6 OAKLAND — Beneath the rub-

ble where this Athletics team,
Red Sox 5 and organization, exist, was a
series victory over the Red Sox.
The Red Sox fell to the A’s in an uninspiring
6-5 rubber match loss Wednesday, snapping a
streak of four straight series wins.
The Red Sox (51-46) are 2½ games behind
the Astros for the third wild card spot. But it
didn’t have to be that way. The Sox entered
Tuesday just 1½ games behind Houston. The
Astros fell to the Rockies on Tuesday but won,
4-1, Wednesday to split the series.
Had the Red Sox taken three from Oakland,
a team that has been swept an astonishing 13
times this year, they would have traveled back
to Boston just a half-game back of Houston.
Instead, true to form, the Sox reverted back
to their middling ways, finishing the road trip
3-3.
In short, the Red Sox haven’t convinced the
front office to buy before the upcoming Aug. 1
deadline.
“We have to keep winning series and make it
close,” said Rob Refsnyder, who finished the day
1 for 4 with an RBI and two runs scored. “Obvi-
ously, we’re still [2½] games back. But we have
to keep it going. If not, then you can’t blame
[the front office]. It’s all part of the job and the
business. We’ve been too inconsistent to get a
good bearing on it.”

day Wednesday.
He put his hand on his hip before
walking behind the mound at the Oak-
land Coliseum. He picked up the rosin
bag — he needed something to do — be-
fore tossing it back on the dirt.
Bello allowed three homers — all two-
run shots — in the Red Sox’ 6-5 loss
Wednesday to the Athletics to drop the
series. JJ Bleday hit the first two-run
homer in the first. Then Cody Thomas
followed in the second. After a clean
third, Peterson got into the mix.
There was a trend: all three were left-
ies. With the exception of Thomas, who
saw a changeup, Bello relinquished the
other four-baggers on four-seamers, a
pitch that has plagued him against left-
ies.
Bello has allowed five career homers
on four-seamers to lefthanders and four
on all other pitches combined. For as re-
markable as Bello has been, posting sev-
en straight quality starts prior to Wednes-
day, there’s still a process to his develop-
ment at 24 years old. It’s one the
Athletics, as bad as they are, took advan-
tage of Wednesday.
“It’s a work in progress, because obvi-
is developing now.”
When Bello was called up late last sea-
son, the Red Sox wanted him to throw up
in the zone with his four-seamer. It’s
where he could induce more swings and
misses while changing the eye level of the
hitters. Hitters are batting .227 against
his four-seamer this year compared to
.378 last season. That’s progress. But
when it comes to slugging, lefties have
still been able to find the seats.
“We’re just developing a new pitch to
go up against the lefthanders,” Bello said
through a translator. “I need that pitch to
be able to set up some of my other pitch-
es. It’s a work in progress.”
Wong catching on
Wednesday marked Connor Wong’s
11th start behind the dish in 13 games in
July.
With Reese McGuire (oblique) still on
the injured list, Wong has had to carry
much of the load. Jorge Alfaro, who got
the starting nod in Tuesday’s loss, doesn’t
provide the same assurance behind the
plate.
“I think it’s the same,” said Wong of

are paying close attention to, but Cora
said Thursday’s and Monday’s off days
will help him reset. Wong came into
Wednesday hitting .343/.368/.457 with
an .826 OPS in July.
“He’s been swinging the bat well,
which is good,” Cora said. “And I think
he’s handling [playing more] well. We
will keep talking.”
Wong was 0 for 2 with two walks and
a run scored Wednesday.
Bressoud dies at 91
Former Red Sox shortstop Eddie Bres-

Bressoud was acquired from the

for shortstop Don Buddin. Bressoud hit
.270 over four seasons as the team’s ev-
eryday shortstop, receiving MVP votes in
1962 and ’64.
Bressoud, a righthanded pull hitter,
was a good fit for the Sox. But with rookie
Rico Petrocelli ready to take over at
shortstop, Bressoud was traded to the
Mets after the 1965 season.

Former Pride owner Boynton still rooting for women’s hockey

By Michael Silverman
GLOBE STAFF
Up until last month, John
Boynton of Concord held as
much sway as anyone in North
American professional women’s
hockey.
He was chair of the Premier
Hockey Federation’s Board of
Governors and co-owner of four
of the league’s seven teams, in-
cluding the Boston Pride.
Now, though, the PHF is no
more, courtesy of being bought
out last month by the Mark Wal-
ter Group. The new owners of
the currently nameless league
plan to drop the puck in January.
From an unfamiliar perch of
being on the outside looking in,
Boynton is rooting for the new
league to succeed and believes it
is fully capable of doing so.
But in the wake of the years-
long antagonism between the
PHF and the Professional Wom-
en’s Hockey Players Association,
coupled with a recent interview
by Pride lead owner Miles Ar-
none that cast considerable dis-
may over the buyout’s process
and results for the players, Boyn-
ton also issued fair warning
about the road ahead.
“I think that the next six
months is going to be rocky, but
again, that’s inevitable when you
have two sides that have been
bitter rivals and those two sides
come together,” Boynton said. “It
doesn’t happen immediately.
But, I think that if everyone pro-
ceeds in good faith and puts in
the effort and the time, there’s
huge potential.
“There’s no reason that the
new league should not be men-
tioned right alongside the WN-
BA and the NWSL — those three
logos should be side by side, ev-
ery time.”
Boynton declined to comment
on The Hockey News interview
with Arnone, who is part of the
BTM Partners group that includ-
ed Boynton and his wife Johan-
na and owned the Pride, the
Metropolitan Riveters, the To-
ronto Six and the expansion
Montreal Force.
Johanna Boynton was the
Force’s governor. Also declining
to comment on Arnone’s talk
was Stan Kasten, who as the
point person of the new owner-
ship group good-naturedly cited
“personal growth” for turning
down an offer to react to reflec-
tions from Arnone that for the
most part did not shine a partic-
ularly flattering light on the
takeover.
Only six teams reportedly
will be in the new league come
January. Whether Boston will be
included is highly uncertain, but
that the league will start with
one fewer team than the PHF
was going to play with this fall
comes as a letdown to Boynton.
“I am disappointed that there
are only six teams because I
think that there’s enough talent
to fill 10 teams, or 12 teams.
There’s a ton of talent in wom-
en’s hockey — they could have
staffed more than six teams,”
Boynton said. “But I understand
they’re trying to be conservative
to make sure they can kind of get
it all figured out before they
scale. So there’s a business ratio-
nale for it. But I do think it’s un-
fortunate, because it’s going to
result in fewer opportunities
rather than more.”
Besides fewer paying jobs for
the best hockey players in the
world, reports of the pay struc-
ture from the new collective bar-
gaining agreement apparently
did not reflect an improvement
in player conditions or salaries.
“There are many things in
there that we were already doing
and there are certain areas like
compensation, where we had ac-
tually gone beyond what’s con-
templated in the CBA,” said
Boynton. “But, I understand the
rationale of walking before they
run, so I think the notion of
starting with six teams, it makes
sense to me. I just wish that they
were able to start with a higher
number of teams.”
Now that John and Johanna
Boynton are no longer helping to
shape the direction of pro wom-
en’s hockey, they already miss it.
But John Boynton is apprecia-
tive there is only one pro league.
“We do think that the exis-
tence of one league as opposed
to the potential for two is going
to allow more sponsors to get on
board, it’s going to allow the
NHL to jump behind it, it’s going
to allow the whole enterprise to
move faster and at the end of the
day, I think it’s the right thing for
the game,” he said. “I do think
that the next many months are
going to be a bit chaotic, but
that’s to be expected. If everyone
can throw their efforts and their
good faith behind the idea that
one unified women’s hockey
league is the best path forward,
then I think it will be successful.”

THE BRITISH OPEN

New par-3 17th attracting all the attention

By Tales Azzoni
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOYLAKE, England — The
British Open is back at Royal Liver-
pool, a course more than a century
old and filled with rich golf history.
And the thing attracting everyone’s
attention this year is a new par-3
created to add more drama.
The challenging 17th hole was
bulldozed into place, instead of be-
ing “forged by nature” as is often
the case for links courses, to try to
keep the excitement alive in the fi-
nal stretch on Sunday. It is only
136 yards long but is well protect-
ed by slopes and bunkers that
could yield everything from easy
birdies to high scores.
“It sucks there and it sucks
here,” former British Open cham-
pion Zach Johnson said as he
played the hole in a practice round
this week.
He asked his caddie to drop a
few balls at the edge of the green to
see how they rolled — and they all
went back into the deep bunker on
the right.
Danger lurks everywhere
around the green by the Irish Sea,
from the steep fallout at the en-
trance to the tall fescue and waste
areas at the front and back to the

OUR PICKS TO WIN THE BRITISH OPEN, AND YOU CAN BET ON IT (WELL, MAYBE NOT)
Is it the British Open or the Open Championship? Does it matter? What matters is the season’s final major often yields some of the most intriguing and unpredictable golf in a given year. Royal Liver-
pool will be defenseless without the elements. The course has yielded some of the best scores in the Open rota. When Tiger Woods won at Hoylake in 2006, he did not hit it into one bunker all week. It was
also the British Open in which Woods defeated rival Sergio Garcia, who wore canary yellow on Sunday. Remember the text Woods sent to a friend after his victory? “I just bludgeoned Tweety Bird.”
The picks, with a gambling element from the DraftKings app (note to readers: Pick against me if you want to win):

The Patriots were curious about Jets receiver Denzel Mims, who went to the Lions.
Patriots bring in RB
Fournette for workout
By Christopher Price
GLOBE STAFF
With training camp a week away, the Patriots
continue to consider all options.
A league source confirmed Wednesday after-
noon New England worked out veteran free
agent running back Leonard Fournette.
Fournette, 28, is a 6-foot, 228-pounder who
has spent six seasons in the NFL, three with the
Jaguars and the last three with the Buccaneers.
Last season in Tampa Bay, he rushed for 668
yards on 189 carries with three touchdowns in
16 games. A key part of the Bucs’ Super Bowl
run, alongside Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski,
he rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown in Su-
per Bowl LV.
Fournette was originally selected by the Jag-
uars with the fourth overall pick of the 2017
NFL Draft out of LSU. He has 4,478 career rush-
ing yards, averaging 4.0 yards per carry. Four-
nette and the Patriots have gone down this road
before, as he previously visited New England for
a similar session in 2022.
According to the league transaction wire, the
Patriots also had running back Darrell Hender-
son Jr. in for a visit as well. The former Rams
draft pick — he was taken 70th overall in the
POSITIONAL OUTLOOK RUNNING BACKS
With training camp set to start at the end of the month,
we’ll provide a position-by-position breakdown of where
the Patriots stand heading into late July. Here’s a look at
running back:
Roll call: Rhamondre Stevenson, Ty Montgomery, Pierre
Strong, Kevin Harris, J.J. Taylor.
By the numbers:
0: Dating to his time as coach in Cleveland, the number
of running backs Bill Belichick has had who have rushed
for 1,000 yards or more in back-to-back seasons. (An-
towain Smith came the closest, finishing with 1,157
yards in 2001 and 982 in 2002.)
23: Stevenson’s career rushing yards — 1,646 — are 23rd
on New England’s all-time list.
69: Stevenson had a team-leading 69 receptions in 2022,
the fourth most by a running back in team history. It was
the ninth time a running back led the Patriots in recep-
tions.
The skinny: Even if the Patriots do get Dalvin Cook, this
will be the Stevenson show. Unless the 6-foot, 227-
pounder has health issues, he should be penciled in for
250-plus carries as the primary between-the-tackles
runner. The only real question is whether he’ll be asked
to serve as a third-down back, as well. That role could
fall to the veteran Montgomery or youngster Strong, the

turn things around immediately, but the Patri-
ots’ actions this offseason say otherwise.
Replacing Jakobi Meyers with JuJu Smith-
Schuster is at best a modest upgrade. Tight end
Mike Gesicki might be a nice option in the red
zone. But it’s tough to argue that those moves,
plus the addition of offensive coordinator Bill
O’Brien, will help the Patriots close the gap with
the Chiefs, Bengals or Bills, or keep pace with
the Dolphins and Jets. In fact, there’s now a
$100 million chasm between the Patriots and
Bills. The Dolphins and Jets are outspending the
Patriots by $68 million and $41 million, respec-
tively.
It’s hard to know who is responsible for keep-
ing the Patriots’ checkbook clamped shut. The
Hopkins decision felt like classic Belichick, who
never invests big money in wide receivers, espe-
cially those who are 31 years old and don’t like
to practice.
But at his end-of-season news conference this
past January, Belichick defended the 2021 free
agency splurge: “I think when you look at the ag-
gregate of all those players, that we improved
our team quite a bit with that group of players,
yes.”
And he potentially fired a shot at Kraft,
pointing out that “over a three-year period, we
are one of the lowest-spending teams in the
league.”
Kraft responded in March that Belichick “has
never come to me and not gotten everything he
wanted from cash spending. We have never set
limits . . . Ownership has always made the cash
available. Money spending will never be the is-
sue. I promise you.”
Kraft, though, is the one who has said that
the 2021 spending — $175 million in full guar-
antees to 25 players — wasn’t worth it. The Patri-
ots spent an extra $70 million on their team
from 2020 to 2021, yet it resulted in just three
more wins and a blowout loss in the playoffs.
T h e B o s t o n
2020 FILE/JAE C. HONG/ASSOCIATED PRESS
2019 NFL Draft — has rushed for 1,742 yards on
396 carries with 13 touchdowns, while catching
66 passes for 474 yards and four touchdowns in
four seasons.
The Patriots also apparently remain in the
market for wide receiver help, as multiple sourc-
es indicated Wednesday that New England was
one of multiple teams showing interest in wide
receiver Denzel Mims. Ultimately, the Jets end-
ed up dealing the 2020 second-round pick out of
Baylor to the Lions.
The Jets will receive a conditional sixth-
round pick in exchange for Mims, as well as a
2025 seventh-round pick.
For a team such as New England, which ap-
peared to be in the market for a receiver — after
the failed courtship of DeAndre Hopkins — the
addition of Mims would have made sense. The 6-
foot-3-inch, 207-pound Mims has played 30
games for the Jets in three years in the NFL, and
has 42 catches for 676 yards and no touch-
downs. Mims was the odd man out after the Jets
imported several former Green Bay receivers fol-
lowing the addition of Aaron Rodgers.

latter of whom flashed as a pass catcher (seven recep-
tions on seven targets) late in the 2022 season. Harris
and Taylor figure to work in supporting roles.
How this position rates vs. the rest of the league: The
Patriots lost Damien Harris to free agency, but even
without the potential acquisition of Cook, this is a posi-
tion of strength for the Patriots. Stevenson is coming off
his first 1,000-yard season (you could make a case he
was the Patriots’ offensive MVP). And while the work-
load may have slowed him down the stretch, the num-
bers were impressive. Stevenson finished 13th in the
league in rushing yards and 10th in yards per carry (5.0).
While there are questions about the passing game, if
Stevenson stays heathy, there figure to be very few
questions when it comes to the running game.
Quote of note: “Damien’s out of here now, so I’m kind of
the guy. So, just trying to make sure I’m ready for the
end of the season this year.” — Stevenson to reporters,
June 2023.
Biggest story lines: Can Stevenson put up the same sort
of numbers he did last season? Could he get a boost
with the potential addition of Cook? And can the Patri-
ots find a third-down back worthy of the legacy of James
White and Kevin Faulk?
CHRISTOPHER PRICE
“I think we spent more cash than any team or
the two or three teams in the history of spend-
ing, and it didn’t get the value we hoped it
would,” Kraft said at the owners’ meetings.
It’s also possible that the Patriots are spend-
ing their cash reserves the past two years not on
the team, but on upgrading Gillette Stadium so
the Krafts can continue to rake in the profits.
The team may not be a top contender, but at
least there will be a Bud Light Party Deck and
360-degree views from atop the new lighthouse.
To be fair, the narrative of whether a team is
spending enough cash can be a little overrated.
The NFL has minimum spending requirements,
per Article 12.9 of the collective bargaining
agreement. Teams must spend in cash at least
90 percent of the salary cap for the periods 2021-
23, 2024-26, and 2027-30 (or pay any shortfalls
directly to the players). So all 32 teams will gen-
erally spend the same amount in those periods.
But when a team decides to splurge is still im-
portant. The Bills, for instance, know their Su-
per Bowl window is closing and are going all-in
this offseason, pushing cap dollars into the fu-
ture to pay veterans such as Stefon Diggs, Matt
Milano, Ed Oliver, and Dawson Knox. Thanks to
the NFL’s soft salary-cap rules, that $301 million
cash counts $227.8 million against the cap.
The Patriots, meanwhile, seem like they are
just looking to fulfill CBA requirements. They
spent big in 2021, so now they can afford to be
thrifty in 2022 or 2023.
Maybe the Bills are the foolish ones, spend-
ing $300 million on a team that still has flaws.
On a cost-per-win basis, the Patriots will proba-
bly come out ahead in 2023.
But the NFL doesn’t award the Lombardi
Trophy to the team with the best cost-per-win
ratio. The Patriots may be balancing their bud-
gets well, but they aren’t spending like a team
that is urgent to get back on top.

Americans may be challenged
uWOMEN'S WORLD CUP
Continued from Page C1
panded 32-team field.
Final four favorites
United States (40W-4L-6T, all-time Cup re-
cord); England (15-7-4); Spain (1-4-2); Germany
(30-9-5); France (10-6-3); Australia (7-13-6).
The United States, under the leadership of
coach Vlatko Andonovski, should be able to glide
through Group E, which will include a rematch
with 2019 finalist the Netherlands. Vietnam, the
Americans’ opening opponent, could provide
tougher competition than Thailand did in 2019,
judging by its 2-1 loss to Germany last month. But
the Vietnamese followed with a 9-0 defeat to Spain
last week. In the group stage finale, the Americans
should expect all-out defending from Portugal,
which went 9-1-2 in 12 games leading up to the
tournament.
England is the one team expected to seriously
challenge the United States. The Lionesses proved
a match in the 2019 semifinals, losing, 2-1, after a
potential equalizing penalty kick was saved by Al-
yssa Naeher. Since then, England appeared to be
improving, taking a 2-1 victory over the Americans
before a crowd of 76,891 at Wembley Stadium in
October. But injuries to Arsenal’s Beth Mead and
Leah Williamson (anterior cruciate ligament sur-
gery) will be difficult to overcome. England strug-
gled in pre-tournament matches, losing to Austra-
lia (2-0) and tying Portugal (0-0). The Portuguese
presented little chance of winning, but showed all-
out defending can stymie England.
Spain should make it to the semifinals, where
the United States could be waiting. If the Spanish
get that far, it means they will have overcome the
loss of 12 players, boycotting the team in protest of
coach Jorge Vilda’s methods. The list of protesters
was reduced as Barcelona’s Ona Batlle, Aitana
Bonmati, and Mariona Caldentey relented, and
Alexia Putellas, reigning Ballon D’Or winner, re-
covered from a knee injury. Vilda has defended his
position, bringing in younger players who have
performed well. And Spanish authorities are ap-
parently backing Vilda — Queen Letizia participat-
ed in a team sendoff.
FIFA rankings indicate No. 2 Germany as a po-
tential favorite. But the Germans raised doubts by
struggling to victory over Vietnam, then losing to
No. 77-rated Zambia (3-2) in home warm-up
matches.
Australia, backed by home support, could crash
the predictions. The Aussies, coached by Swede
Tony Gustavsson, a US assistant in the last two
World Cups, and led by forward Sam Kerr, have a
manageable path to the quarterfinals, but then
could run into France. The Matildas got the jump
on Les Bleues with a 1-0 warm-up win in Mel-
bourne last week.
The French had to resolve their own coaching
conflict, players protesting against Corinne Diacre,
who guided the team to the quarterfinals and a
home loss to the United States in 2019. Herve Re-
nard, who guided Saudi Arabia in the men’s World
Cup last year, replaced Diacre in March. In his first
game in charge, Renard reinstated Estelle Cascari-
no and Eugenie Le Sommer, who both scored twice
as Les Bleues rallied from a two-goal deficit to de-
feat Colombia, 5-2. Before the tournament, France
striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto (ACL surgery) was
declared out, then defender Selma Bacha (ankle)
went down against Australia.
Other contenders
Sweden (23-12-5); Brazil (20-10-4); Nether-
lands (7-3-1); Canada (8-14-5); Japan (14-15-4);
Norway (24-12-4); Denmark (3-10-1); Italy (6-5-1);
Portugal (0-0-0).
Sweden is not expected to get past the quarter-
finals. But the Swedes reached the last two Olym-
pic finals, and are the last team to defeat the Amer-
2023 Women’s World Cup guide
The Women’s World Cup is back and bigger than ever. The
field has been expanded from 24 to 32 teams, with eight
nations making their debuts in Australia and New Zealand.
The diluted field could create some mismatches early, but
a strong list of contenders will look to prevent the United
States from becoming the first team — men or women — to
win three straight World Cups. Fans in the United States
will be facing many early mornings — or very late nights —
to catch games live. Whether you decide to set your alarm
or wait for the reruns, here’s everything you need to know:
The basics
Dates: July 20-Aug. 20
TV: Fox Sports and Telemundo have had the US rights for
the World Cup since 2015. All 64 matches will be broadcast
on Fox or FS1 in English, and Telemundo or Universo in
Spanish. Every game will also stream on Foxsports.com
(English) and Peacock (Spanish).
See the daily schedule here.
Kickoff times: This is the first World Cup to be played
across five time zones. Most games are scheduled for 1
a.m-6 a.m. Eastern, with a sprinkling of games starting at 8
a.m. or 8 p.m. or later.
Washington’s city council responded by passing an amend-
ment allowing the city’s bars and restaurants to remain
open 24/7 during the tournament (albeit with a moratori-
um on selling alcohol from 4 a.m.-6 a.m.), just as it had for
the 2022 men’s tournament in Qatar.
The host nations
Australia and New Zealand combined for the first success-
ful joint bid to host a World Cup since the 2002 men’s edi-
tion in Japan and South Korea. (The 2026 men’s World Cup
will be played in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.)
However, the results revealed a stark continental divide:
All representatives from the European and South American
confederations voted for Colombia’s bid, while every repre-
sentative from Asia, Africa, and CONCACAF (North and
Central America and the Caribbean), backed Australia and
New Zealand. FIFA gave the joint bid a 4.1 rating out of 5,
compared with Colombia’s 2.8.
Australia and New Zealand’s women’s teams are estab-
lished on the national stage. Australia, also known as the
Matildas, have reached the knockout rounds of the last
four World Cups and are seen as outside contenders after
reaching the semis of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Meanwhile,
the Football Ferns have qualified for every World Cup since
the first edition in 1991, but haven’t won a match in their
last five appearances.
The venues
Sydney is the only host city that will feature two stadiums.
The tournament’s largest venue, Stadium Australia (capac-
ity 81,500) — also known as the Accor Stadium — was origi-
nally scheduled to host one game in each knockout round,
including the final on Aug. 20. However, the Matildas’ open-
ing game against Ireland was moved 30 minutes west from
Sydney Football Stadium (capacity 38,841) — which opened
in August 2022, making it the the tournament’s newest sta-
dium — because of surging ticket demand.
The Melbourne Rectangular Stadium (capacity 24,870), or
Aami Park, has the most distinct design of all the venues
thanks to a roof and exterior shaped as geometric clouds.
Brisbane Stadium (capacity 46,851) will host eight games,
including the third-place match, making it the tourna-
ment’s second-busiest venue. The second-oldest venue is
T H U R S D A Y, J U L Y 2 0 , 2 0 2 3
icans in the World Cup, taking a 2-1 victory in
2011 group play.
Brazil still depends on Marta, now 37, but
should present firepower via Andressa Alves, De-
binha, Geyse, and Kerolin. In charge is former US
coach Pia Sundhage, WUSA coach of the year in
2003 with the Boston Breakers.
The Dutch lost Vivianne Miedema (ACL sur-
gery), but have Manchester City’s Jill Roord in
midfield and Paris Saint-Germain’s Lieke Martens
up front.
Canada won the Tokyo Olympics, blanking the
United States, 1-0, in the semifinals, and taking
two penalty-kick shootouts, thanks to the shot-
stopping of former UConn goalkeeper Stephanie
Labbé. Kallen Sheridan, who has replaced Labbé
in goal, has proven herself in the NWSL, teaming
with the Naomi Girma of the US team to anchor
the San Diego Wave defense. The Canadians will
need all-time leading scorer (190 goals) Christine
Sinclair, 40, to produce if they are to overtake Aus-
tralia in Group B. If not, a Round of 16 match with
England looms.
Japan, which has struggled since upsetting the
United States on penalty kicks in the 2011 final,
will present a young team — average age 25. All
but one Japanese player — AS Roma defender Saki
Kumagai, 32 — will be under 30.
Norway, which reached the 2019 quarterfinals,
w i l l h av e f o r m e r B a l l o n D ’ O r w i n n e r A d a
Hegerberg, 28, who left the team for five years in
protest over support for the team. Caroline Gra-
ham Hansen captured the 2021 and ‘23 Champi-
ons League with Barcelona.
Non-contenders
Colombia (1-4-2); New Zealand (0-12-3); Ire-
land (0-0-0); Argentina (0-7-2); Chile (16-10-7); Ni-
geria (4-19-3); South Korea (1-8-1); Switzerland (1-
3-0).
Colombia apparently arrived down under
hyped up, contesting a closed-door scrimmage
that left Ireland’s Denise O’Sullivan hospitalized in
Brisbane, the game called after 20 minutes after
becoming “overly physical.”
New Zealand might be among the best of the
non-contenders but has never won in four World
Cup appearances. New Zealand is looking ahead,
hiring former US U-20 coach Jitka Klimkova
through 2027. Klimkova is assisted by former
Northeastern coach and Harvard assistant Tracey
Leone.
China has dropped off since reaching the 1999
final against the US, but enters with a three-game
unbeaten streak — two victories over Russia and a
draw with Colombia.
Switzerland should challenge New Zealand for
second place in Group A, and should gain atten-
tion via Aston Villa forward Alisha Lehmann,
whose social media numbers are greater than ten-
nis legend tennis’ Roger Federer.
Rounding out the field
Haiti (0-0-0); Jamaica (0-3-0); Zambia (0-0-0);
Costa Rica (0-2-1); Morocco (0-0-0); South Africa
(0-3-0); Vietnam (0-0-0); Panama (0-0-0); Philip-
pines (0-0-0).
The event is meant to showcase the best of the
women’s game. But several worthy squads will be
missing — 21 of the top 32-ranked teams are Euro-
pean, and nine will not be involved. There is po-
tential for mismatches — six teams (Philippines,
Panama, Haiti, South Africa, Morocco, Zambia)
are ranked below No. 44 Thailand, a 13-0 first-
round loser to the US in 2019. As far as positives,
more than half the teams (17) have totaled one or
fewer World Cup victories; the increased field
could give them a chance to improve on that re-
cord.

Perth Rectangular Stadium (capacity 13,932), built in 1910.
Auckland’s Eden Park (capacity 40,356) has been the spiri-
tual home of sport in New Zealand since the cricket and
rugby ground opened in 1900. It will host the opening game
of the tournament when New Zealand faces Norway, as
well as the opening ceremony. New Zealand’s national sta-
dium will host nine games, including two group games for
the United States, making it the tournament’s busiest ven-
ue.
The US will also play a group match at Wellington Regional
Stadium (capacity 31,089), which sits near the city’s harbor
and is known as the “Cake Tin” for its circular shape and
metal exterior.
The groups and format
Group A: Norway, Switzerland, New Zealand, Philippines
Group B: Canada, Australia, Nigeria, Ireland
Group C: Spain, Japan, Costa Rica, Zambia
Group D: England, Denmark, China, Haiti
Group E: US, Netherlands, Portugal, Vietnam
Group F: France, Brazil, Jamaica, Panama
Group G: Sweden, Italy, Argentina, South Africa
Group H: Germany, South Korea, Colombia, Morocco
The group stage is played in a round-robin format with
each team playing each other once; the two teams with the
most points (3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss)
advance to the knockout stages. The rest of the tourna-
ment, beginning with the Round of 16, is single elimination.
US schedule and outlook
Friday: US vs. Vietnam, 9 p.m. (Fox, Telemundo)
Wednesday, July 26: US vs. Netherlands, 9 p.m. (Fox, Tele-
mundo)
Tuesday, Aug. 1: US vs. Portugal, 3 a.m. (Fox, Telemundo)
Vlatko Andonovski, coaching the US in his first World Cup,
has ushered in a new generation of talent.Thirteen mem-
bers of the 23-women squad will be making their World
Cup debuts. There are also 13 players who were not on the
roster for the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, when the United
States failed to make the final but won the bronze medal.
The US will be without one of its most exciting talents, with
23-year-old Catarina Macario announcing in May that set-
backs recovering from a torn ACL suffered last June would
prevent her from taking part. The US lost another goal-
scoring threat when Mallory Swanson, who leads the
Americans with seven of the team’s 19 goals this year, tore
her patellar tendon during a friendly against Ireland in
April.
The US was also hit the absence of longtime captain and
center back Becky Sauerbrunn, 38, because of a foot injury.
Hanson native Sam Mewis — a key midfield anchor for the
Americans in the 2019 tournament — is rehabbing her sec-
ond knee surgery in two years, though older sister Kristie is
making her World Cup debut.
The Americans still boast of a number of experienced
stars, with Alex Morgan, Kelley O’Hara, and Megan Rapinoe
playing in their fourth World Cup. The US is favored to win
the tournament and give a victorious sendoff to Rapinoe,
who announced she is retiring.
The Americans will likely be challenged for the top spot in
Group E by the Netherlands, which they beat in the 2019 fi-
nal. If the US wins the group, it will likely land on the lighter
side of the knockout bracket. European powerhouses Eng-
land, Germany, and France, as well as Australia and Tokyo
gold medalist Canada, are potential opponents in the final.

Allegations grow
at Northwestern
Allegations of hazing in Northwestern Uni-
versity’s athletic programs broadened as at-
torneys said male and female athletes report-
ed misconduct within two other sports and
suggested sexual abuse and racial discrimina-
tion within the football program was so ram-
pant that coaches knew it was happening. Civ-
il rights attorney Ben Crump said he and other
attorneys have received disturbing details
from former baseball and softball players at
the university, in addition to growing com-
plaints of abuse in the football program,
which players described as widespread and
devastating. “This is a civil rights issue for
me,” said Crump, who said 50 former athletes
— male and female — have spoken to the
Levin & Perconti law firm. “I think these play-
ers have the right to be respected and valued
and not hazed, intimidated, and retaliated.”
Chelsea great Perkins dies
Lew Perkins, who starred in basketball at
Chelsea High and then in college at Iowa be-
fore serving as the athletic director at several
universities, including a 13-year run at
UConn, and taking on an influential role with-
in the NCAA, died Tuesday in Lawrence, Kan.
Mr. Perkins was 78. His family announced his
death in a statement issued by the University
of Kansas, where he served as AD from June
2003 through September 2011. No cause was
given, though he had been battling the effects
of Parkinson’s disease.
NFL
Browns release Winfrey
Defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey was cut
by the Cleveland Browns after police opened
an investigation into him being involved in an
armed robbery involving two women Tuesday.
The swift move ended Winfrey’s troubled ten-
ure with the Browns, who selected him in the
fourth round last year from Oklahoma. In
April, Winfrey, 22, was arrested after he alleg-
edly caused “bodily injury” during an argu-
ment with a woman he was dating in Texas.
The charge was dropped after he completed a
pretrial diversion program. In June, Winfrey
told police he was robbed at gunpoint by six
masked men outside a Cleveland nightclub.
He was with cornerback Greg Newsome II,
who had his truck stolen.
NHL
Nosek signs with Devils
The New Jersey Devils signed free agent
Tomas Nosek to a one-year, $1 million con-
tract. Nosek played in 66 games for the Bruins
last season, anchoring the fourth line as its
center, and had seven goals and 11 assists. He
played in all seven playoff games in an open-
ing-round loss to the eventual Eastern Confer-
ence champion Panthers. Nosek has played
eight seasons with Detroit, Vegas, and Boston.
SOCCER
Players call out SafeSport
More than 100 current and former players
from across US Soccer’s senior men’s and
women’s teams and youth squads, including
all 24 members of the 2023 Women’s World
Cup roster, signed a letter sent to Congress
that raised concerns about the effectiveness of
the US Center for SafeSport. The athletes said
in the letter that SafeSport, in its current
form, does not adequately protect athletes
from abuse. The letter specifically highlighted
SafeSport’s use of administrative closures and
exclusive jurisdiction over investigation, as
well as its appeals process, which the athletes
argued leaves players vulnerable to abuse and
can cause them to be revictimized.
Arsenal routs MLS stars
Arsenal scored a 5-0 win over the MLS All-
Stars in Washington, D.C., with the visiting
English Premier League side tallying twice in
the first half and making the match a rout in
the final 45-plus minutes. Revolution mid-
fielder Carles Gil and keeper Djorde Petrovic
both saw time as MLS substitutes.

Harwich catcher Andrew Yu says manager Steve Englert “injects
energy every day” and that it “gets everyone ready to play.”
Harwich’s Englert still
manages to keep it fun
uENGLERT
Continued from Page C1
3-0 victory over Bourne on June
14. “You can’t get wrapped up in
wins and losses. It’s a showcase
league. Don’t try to manipulate the
game, just coach kids up and try to
get them better and provide an en-
joyable experience.”
In a league that attracts players,
coaches, and scouts from around
the nation, Englert has established
himself as one of the Cape League’s
most authentic native sons. He
was born at Faulkner Hospital in
Roslindale and fell in love with
baseball while growing up in Bos-
ton, where he played in the Park-
way Little League and later attend-
ed Catholic Memorial and Boston
College.
Englert broke into college
coaching at the University of Rich-
mond in 1998, and he made stops
at Virginia Commonwealth and
Holy Cross before joining Pete
Hughes’s staff at BC in 2002. He
spent 12 seasons as an assistant at
his alma mater, helping the Eagles
reach new heights while working
with the catchers and serving as
hitting and bench coach.
“He’s been the best guy I’ve had
by my side in the dugout in terms
of a bench coach,” said Hughes,
who led the Eagles from 1999-
2006 and is now head coach at
Kansas State. “He’s so reliable and
he knows my personality and
when to say something and when
not to. That’s really an asset to
have in your dugout — someone
with a great feel.”
Englert served as an assistant
coach for Harwich from 1998-
2002, and was promoted to man-
ager before the 2003 season. Un-
der his leadership, the Mariners
captured the 2008 league champi-
onship — their first since 1987 —
and followed with another league
title in 2011. He was named the
Cape’s Manager of the Year in 2012
and ’14, after leading Harwich to
regular-season division titles.
While Englert is quick to credit
his players for the success, those
around the league respect him not
only for winning but the fashion in
which his teams do it.
“I don’t think there’s any team
on the Cape that has more fun in
the summer than the guys in Har-
wich,” said Kelly Nicholson, who
has managed Orleans since 2005.
“[Englert] gets what this league is
all about. I appreciate what he
does and I love how he does it.
They’re a little looser than we are
over here, but I love it and it
works. I’m really proud to call him
a colleague, but really even more
so a dear friend.”
Hughes said college coaches
have no reservations about send-
ing their players to Harwich be-
cause they know Englert won’t put
wins ahead of a player’s develop-
ment.
“He holds them to a high stan-
dard with work ethic and prepara-
tion and respect for the game, but
at the same time those guys want
to be around him and they laugh,”
Hughes said. “It’s a true talent to
be able to coach and criticize and
have a great time while you’re do-
ing it.”
Englert’s impact extends far be-
yond the shores of the Cape thanks
in large part to his wife, Lisa
Kachnic, who is one of the coun-
try’s leading radiation oncologists.
Throughout Kachnic’s career,
Englert has landed coaching jobs
in the various regions that she has
worked, whether at BC and North-
eastern during her time at Mass.
General and Boston University
School of Medicine, or as an assis-
tant at Ensworth High School in
Nashville under former big leaguer
Jason Maxwell while Kachnic
served as chair of radiation oncolo-
gy at Vanderbilt.
B o s t o n G l o b e
MARK STOCKWELL FOR THE GLOBE
MARK STOCKWELL FOR THE GLOBE
College coaches know Steve
Englert won’t put wins ahead
of a player’s development.
The couple currently live in
New York, where Kachnic serves
as chief of radiation oncology at
New York-Presbyterian/Columbia
University Irving Medical Center
and Englert spends his springs
working as a volunteer assistant at
Manhattan College.
“I’m the trophy husband, so to
speak,” Englert said. “My wife is
the first-round draft pick, and I
was the player to be named later.”
Even in the instances when his
assistant coaching stints are brief,
Englert still manages to make his
mark. Seven Ensworth players
committed to Division 1 programs
while Englert worked under Max-
well from 2018-19, including
catcher Andrew Yu and outfielder
Devin Obee, two Duke players who
reunited with Englert with the
Mariners this summer.
“He’s the same guy I met in
high school,” Obee said. “I love him
to death. He’s got a lot of energy
and he always has your back.”
Yu agreed, noting Englert “in-
jects energy every day.”
“The way he leads the group,
sets the example, sets the energy
and the tone early, is definitely
contagious to the rest of the guys,”
Yu said. “It gets everyone ready to
play.”
Englert’s last game in Nashville
came when Ensworth fell in the
2019 state championship, and
Maxwell said many players were
more upset to learn that Englert
was leaving than they were about
losing the game.
“His impact is still felt here ev-
ery day,” Maxwell said. “He’s one of
the best baseball people I’ve been
around and one of the best men
that I’ve been around. He connects
with every kid on their level.”
Harwich team president Mary
Henderson said she can’t think of
another person she’d rather have
leading the club.
“I can’t tell you that I’ve ever
heard any player have a negative
thought about Steve,” she said.
“They all love him and respect
him. He does a great job. He’s per-
fect.”
An avid fan of boxing, golf,
bourbon, and cigars, Englert can
routinely be spotted around town
with cheetah print dice dangling
from the rearview mirror of his
“summer cruiser” — a 1985 Cadil-
lac Eldorado Biarritz convertible
that he bought in 2015 from a Co-
tuit selectman.
The classic Cadillac matches
the cool demeanor and fun outlook
Englert has carried since he joined
the Cape League.
“You can’t be too serious,” En-
glert said. “My wife has a serious
job, this is baseball. Go out and
compete and play your [butt] off
and try to beat the guys in the dug-
out across from you, but don’t take
yourself so seriously. It’s baseball,
you’re playing a game.”

Remembered
CHAD, Rita M.
Age 74, passed away peacefully at home
in Southboro on July 18, 2023, with
her devoted and loving family at her
side. She is survived by her beloved
husband, David; and her deeply loved
and cherished daughter Rebecca. She
was the adored and loving sister of
Ellen Cronin and her husband, the late
Joe Cronin; and her brothers, Robert
(Bob) Totten and his wife, Linda, and
William (Bill) Totten and his wife,
Nancy. Rita is also survived by her
dear nieces and nephews, cousins, and
wonderful devoted friends. Rita was
predeceased by her parents, Helena
and Robert Totten. Rita was born in
Cambridge, MA, raised and educated
in Dorchester and then Milton.
Throughout her life, Rita thrived on
making meaningful connections, in
the early years with her siblings and
over many decades with friends. Ellen
and Rita, Bob and Bill developed
strong lifelong bonds, forged in joy
and reinforced by their deep caring
and respect for each other. Friendships
established from different facets of
Rita’s life, including high school and
college, neighborhood connections,
and later Rita’s book club, grew
only stronger as Rita and her peers
developed a deep and abiding mutual
empathy and understanding of their
joys and sorrows. From an early age,
Rita impressed her educators with her
talent for academics; from her teachers
at St. Brendan’s elementary school
and the nuns at Fontbonne academy
(high school), to the Professors of
Stonehill college, every educator she
met saw how her luminous intelligence
(cloaked in modesty) would light up
a room. After college, Rita worked
a couple of years at a travel agency,
which prompted her to experience
the pleasures of discovery with her
college friends, and later with David
and Rebecca. Her next position was
clinic secretary for the Tufts Neurology
department, where she and a nurse
colleague conducted all administrative
and nursing facets of a busy faculty-
resident-fellow practice with
expertise and grace. In his first year
of fellowship, David fell in love with
this incredible secretary and beautiful
person. Before they wed in 1985, Rita
took a position as secretary in the
pharmacy department at Tufts; she
was enthusiastic about her work and
felt the love of the senior staff. With
the arrival of Rebecca, Rita became a
full-time mother and homemaker. She
cherished the years of being a stay-at-
home mom. Later when the house got
a little too quiet, Rita went back to the
secretary’s desk for a physical therapy
practice and enjoyed the work and the
camaraderie of her colleagues. It is
no exaggeration to say that when Rita
made an appearance (whether at a job,
a book club meeting, during a family
gathering, or her own oncology visits),
with her humor, warmth, ease, and wit
the feeling in the room would somehow
enliven and the atmosphere brighten,
and the faces of those assembled
would appear a little happier. David
and Rebecca would like to thank Dr.
Kathryn Edmiston and her colleagues
at the UMass Breast Cancer center, and
the staff from VNA Hospice, (Needham)
(especially Marion Kettell and Katie
Mechan). There will be a funeral service
at the chapel at the Newton cemetery
and arboretum on Friday July 21, 2023
at 11:00 AM followed by a burial at the
cemetery. After the cemetery service,
the family invites all who are available
to continue to remember Rita at a
Shiva at their home. In lieu of flowers,
please consider donations to the breast
cancer center at UMass or VNA hospice
(Needham).

should have, but that was Herb. God

Angelo R. Mozilo, figure Dermot Doran, 88, priest

in 2008 financial crisis
By Harrison Smith
WASHINGTON POST
Angelo R. Mozilo, the brash
chief executive who built Coun-
trywide Financial into the na-
tion’s largest home mortgage
firm, only for the company to
buckle and effectively collapse
under the weight of subprime
loans that helped fuel the 2008
financial crisis, died July 16 at
84.
His death was announced by
the Mozilo Family Foundation, a
charity he founded with his wife,
Phyllis. The foundation did not
say where or how he died.
Before he became a widely
criticized face of the financial
crisis, Mr. Mozilo seemed to em-
body the classic American suc-
cess story. A grandson of Italian
immigrants, he grew up working
in his father’s butcher shop in
the Bronx, joined the mortgage
industry as a messenger in his
teens, and cofounded Country-
wide Financial in 1969, weather-
ing downturns in the housing in-
dustry while growing the com-
pany into a home loan colossus.
Between 1982 and the sum-
mer of 2007, the firm’s stock
price grew nearly 25,000 per-
cent, according to the New York
Times. Mr. Mozilo’s stature grew
along with it: He was elected
chairman of the Mortgage Bank-
ers Association, enshrined in the
National Housing Hall of Fame
and appeared frequently on tele-
vision, emerging as a blunt and
perpetually tan spokesman for
his industry while talking up his
role in generating jobs and put-
ting people in homes.
I n p a r t , h i s c o m p a n y ’s
growth was fueled by risky but
lucrative mortgages it issued to
borrowers with poor credit his-
tory. Countrywide started offer-
ing subprime loans in the late
1 9 9 0 s , a f t e r M r. M o z i l o
launched an effort to reach cus-
tomers in low-income and mi-
nority communities, where
Black and Hispanic home buyers
had been disproportionately re-
jected for mortgages.
‘‘When I first brought the
loans into the office, they said:
‘You’re nuts, you’re crazy, don’t
do this. There’s a reason why
we’re rejecting these people,’’’
Mr. Mozilo recalled. But as he
saw it, the loans represented not
just a business opportunity, but
a chance to help customers who
were underserved and in some
cases disenfranchised. The com-
pany loosened its lending stan-
dards and was soon approving
one loan for every two applica-
tions it reviewed, according to
Mr. Mozilo.
Business boomed, at least for
a while. At Countrywide’s peak
in 2006, the firm had 55,000 em-
ployees, $11.4 billion in revenue
and assets of $200 billion, in-
cluding through subsidiaries
that offered loan-closing services
such as appraisals and flood cer-
tifications. The company was by
then the country’s largest sub-
prime lender, according to Reu-
ters, although its roughly $40
billion in subprime mortgages
accounted for less than 10 per-
cent of its total loans.
Countrywide was far from
alone in offering questionable
loans to high-risk customers, but
the business helped legitimize
the idea that just about anyone
could afford a home and fueled a
housing boom.
In emails that were later re-
leased by the Securities and Ex-
change Commission, Mr. Mozilo
described some of the company’s
offerings as ‘‘poison’’ and ‘‘toxic’’
— traits that he neglected to
mention in interviews and pub-
lic appearances.
When housing prices slipped
in 2007, defaults soared and
foreclosures followed. Lenders
cut off credit to Countrywide,
and its stock price plummeted
by more than 80 percent. Under
pressure to sell, the company an-
nounced in January 2008 that it
was being acquired by Bank of
America for $4 billion in stock.
By the time the deal went
through six months later, the
price had slipped to about $2.5
billion. Financial journalist
Gretchen Morgenson, writing in
The New York Times, would lat-
er call it ‘‘the single worst corpo-
rate acquisition ever. Bar none.’’
Bank of America spent tens
of billions of dollars settling law-
suits and investor claims related
to Countrywide, including a suit
brought by Illinois, California,
and other states alleging that the
firm had engaged in deceptive
mortgage practices. It settled in
October 2008, when the compa-
ny agreed to pay more than $8
billion to modify troubled mort-
gages for some 400,000 home-
owners.
‘‘Countrywide’s lending prac-
tices turned the American
dream into a nightmare for tens
of thousands of families by put-
ting them into loans they
couldn’t understand and ulti-
mately couldn’t afford,’’ Califor-
nia Attorney General Jerr y
Brown, the state’s former and fu-
ture governor, said in a state-
ment at the time.
Mr. Mozilo came under in-
tense scrutiny for his leadership
of the firm, including for a pro-
Mr. Mozilo (right) testified in 2009 before a House panel that
examined the pay of CEOs involved in the mortgage crisis.
gram that issued loans to politi-
cians and other favored borrow-
ers known as ‘‘Friends of Ange-
l o .’ ’ In Ju n e 2 0 0 9 , t h e S E C
charged him with securities
fraud and insider trading, accus-
ing Mr. Mozilo of misleading in-
vestors about the risks of the
company’s mortgages, then lin-
ing his pockets by selling stock
for almost $140 million in profit
before information about the
credit risks became public.
Days before his trial was set
to begin in 2010, Mr. Mozilo
agreed to a $67.5 million settle-
ment. Bank of America was re-
sponsible for $45 million of the
fee as part of Mr. Mozilo’s indem-
nification agreement with the
company, while he was on the
hook for a $22.5 million fine that
the SEC called the largest finan-
cial penalty ever paid by a public
company’s senior executive.
That sum represented just a
fraction of Mr. Mozilo’s earnings.
During an eight-year period that
ended with his retirement in
2008, he received more than a
half-billion dollars in total com-
pensation, according to a Times
report citing figures from the re-
search firm Equilar.
Mr. Mozilo settled without
admitting wrongdoing and was
banned from working as an offi-
cer or director at a publicly trad-
ed company.
Federal prosecutors later an-
nounced that they had dropped
a criminal investigation into Mr.
Mozilo, who continued to de-
fend his legacy even as critics
noted that many of his former
customers had lost their homes
and were struggling to dig them-
selves out of debt.
Testifying before a govern-
SUSAN WALSH/ASSOCIATED PRESS/FILE
ment panel in 2010, weeks be-
fore he agreed to his civil settle-
ment with the SEC, he credited
his firm with helping put 25 mil-
lion people in homes.
‘‘Countrywide was one of the
greatest companies in the histo-
ry of this country,’’ he claimed,
‘‘and probably made more differ-
ence to society, to the integrity of
our society, than any company in
the history of America.’’
The oldest of five children,
Angelo Robert Mozilo was born
in New York on Dec. 16, 1938,
and grew up in the Bronx.
With help from an uncle who
worked in the industry, he got an
after-school job at a mortgage
company, helping pay for his tu-
ition at the Mount Saint Michael
Academy, an all-boys’ Catholic
high school. He later studied
business and philosophy at
Fordham University, receiving a
bachelor’s degree in 1960.
The next year, he married
Phyllis Ardese, with whom he
raised five children. She died in
2017.
Information on survivors was
not immediately available.

$75,000 to start Countrywide
with his mentor, David Loeb. He
gained full control of the firm in
2000, after Loeb retired.
Government investigators
found that by controlling almost
every aspect of the home loan
process, Countrywide could
mark up costs, sometimes by
more than 100 percent. In 2011,
the firm agreed to pay a $108
million settlement after the Fed-
eral Trade Commission conclud-
ed the company had over-
charged more than 450,000
homeowners.
who rallied aid for Biafra
By Clay Risen
NEW YORK TIMES
The cargo plane flew in low
over southeastern Nigeria, its
lights out, its radio off, its pilot
navigating by the glow of refin-
ery flares along the coast. The
runway, somewhere below, was
dark. The pilot dropped his
wheels and nosed the plane
downward, seemingly into the
void.
On the ground, a team of
boys suddenly ran out of the
bush to light rows of kerosene
lamps to guide the craft toward
the tiny airstrip, just 75 feet
wide and 1,200 feet long.
Aboard were 26 tons of antibiot-
ics, flour, and salted fish, as well
as a 34-year-old Irish priest
named Dermot Doran.
It was December 1968, and
Nigeria was in the midst of a civ-
il war. After nearly a decade of
pogroms against them, the Igbo
people of the country’s south-
eastern states had seceded to
form the independent republic
of Biafra. The Nigerian army al-
most immediately attacked, and
it soon had a blockade around
the region, leaving 14 million
residents to starve.
Father Doran was one of
1,000 priests and nuns, mostly
from Ireland, who had been
working in the area when the
fighting broke out. Overnight,
they pivoted from their peace-
time roles as educators — Father
Doran had been a high school
principal — to aid workers dur-
ing one of the 20 th century’s
worst humanitarian crises.
Overall, the Biafran airlift
brought 60,000 tons of aid to the
region, at the time, the largest
mobilization of aid by civilians
in history. Between 500,000 and
2 million noncombatants died
because of the blockade — but
an estimated 1 million more sur-
vived because of the airlift.
Father Doran was its linch-
pin. Sneaking in and out of Bia-
fra, he located the first planes
and hired the first pilots. He
went to New York City to ar-
range the first aid shipments. He
mapped out the logistics of mov-
ing thousands of tons of supplies
from Europe and North America
to airfields in Gabon and Sao
Tome, an island south of Nigeria
that was then under Portuguese
rule.
He accompanied many of the
flights from there into Biafra, co-
ordinated supply distribution,
caught up with locals and other
priests, then left to tell the world
what he had learned. He had a
way with the news media, be-
friending, among others, Harry
Reasoner of CBS as well as BBC
correspondent Frederick For-
early 1968. Residents of Biafra
got most of their protein from
dried fish; without it, children
quickly developed kwashiorkor,
a protein deficiency that caused
their bellies to swell. At the
worst part of the crisis, in late
1968, some 10,000 people a day
were dying, according to Red
Cross estimates.
“It’s something you don’t ex-
pect to meet in your life,” Father
Doran said in the documentary.
Nigeria was supported in the
war by Britain, which had once
ruled it as a colony, and the two
countries tried to maintain a
news blackout. But by the end of
1967, Father Doran had made
several trips to Lisbon and New
York, and he and others man-
aged to smuggle journalists into
the region to report on the un-
folding crisis.
Biafra became an interna-
tional rallying cry. Thousands
took part in protest marches in
London and Paris. In June 1969,
a Columbia University student
named Bruce Mayrock set him-
self on fire in front of the United
Nations; he died the next day. In
Britain, John Lennon returned
his MBE medal to Queen Eliza-
beth II, partly in protest over his
country’s role in the blockade.
More aid organizations ar-
rived. Protestant, Jewish, and
Roman Catholic groups, includ-
ing Catholic Relief Services,
gathered under an umbrella ef-
fort called Joint Church Aid,
which collected supplies for
transit through the airlift. Father
Doran was its relief organizer.
The pilots nicknamed it Jesus
Christ Airlines.
“It’s a fantastic example of ec-
umenism,” he told United Press
International in 1969. “ We
mightn’t be agreed on theology
— but we are agreed on bread.”
The Biafran airlift is widely
considered a watershed moment
in international humanitarian-
ism. It was the first time non-
profits and private citizens led
the response to a crisis.
Although several countries
quietly supported the airlift, in-
cluding the United States and Is-
rael, it received no official gov-
ernment approval. In New York,
Ireland’s ambassador to the
United Nations told Father
Doran to stay out of Nigeria’s
business.
And the world stood by while
the Nigerian air force attacked
the airlift, bombing the airfield,
and destroying several planes,
killing 25 crew members.
In a debate with Father Der-
mot on the CBS program “The
World of Religion,” the Nigerian
ambassador to the United Na-
tions, Edwin Ogebe Ogbu,

Stephen M. Silverman, biographer of stage and screen
By Richard Sandomir
NEW YORK TIMES
Stephen M. Silverman, a
longtime entertainment report-
er and author who wrote a criti-
cally admired biography of noto-
riously reticent British director
David Lean and a forthcoming
book about Broadway titan Ste-
phen Sondheim, died July 6 in
New York. He was 71.
His death, at a hospital, was
caused by renal disease, said his
executor, Diane Reid.
Mr. S i l v e r m a n w a s o n c e
asked what he felt was the most
common misperception about
his beat. “That it’s fluff,” he told
the website Muck Rack.
As a journalist, he wrote
about Broadway and Hollywood
for The New York Post from
1977 to 1988. He joined People
magazine in 1995 as a founder
of its website, originally called
People Daily (now people.com),
and was its news editor for 20
years. He also detailed celebrity
doings for the site — Mickey
Rourke being arrested, Betty
White hosting “Saturday Night
Live,” Halle Berry’s after-baby
workout — and wrote many
stars’ obituaries.
He idolized Lean, a meticu-
lous filmmaker known for di-
recting intimate films such as
“Brief Encounter” (1945) and
“Great Expectations” (1946) and
epics including “Lawrence of
Arabia” (1962) and “Doctor
Zhivago” (1965). Indeed, Mr. Sil-
verman kept a large poster of
“Lawrence” hanging on a wall in
his Manhattan apartment.
He spent time with the direc-
tor in London, interviewing him
several times during the 1980s
f o r t h e b o o k “ D a v i d L e a n”
(1989), which had an introduc-
tion by Katharine Hepburn.
“I guess I just got him at the
right time,” he told United Press
International, explaining why
the publicity-shy L ean had
agreed to speak to him. The stars
of some of his films, including
Omar Sharif, Alec Guinness and
Julie Christie, also talked to Mr.
Silverman.
“They all have such admira-
tion for him,” he said, “but Omar
Sharif said — as did a few others,
‘I can’t believe David has permit-
ted a book.’ He has been ap-
proached for two decades, most-
ly by British journalists, and has
said no.”
Film critic Jay Carr, review-
ing “David Lean” in The Boston
Globe, wrote that the “pleasure”
of Mr. Silverman’s “chatty, cant-
free survey of Lean and his films,
apart from the fact that it’s the
first, and probably last, to get
the notoriously taciturn Lean to
talk for the record, lies in the be-
hind-the-camera images that be-
come so effortlessly a part of Mr.
Silverman’s diligent reporting
and interviewing.”
Mr. Silverman had also writ-
ten a biography of movie mogul
Darryl Zanuck by then and went
on to publish several other
books in the 1990s — about Los
Angeles movie palaces, female
comedians, and Stanley Donen,
a master of the Hollywood musi-
cal who directed, among others,
“Seven Brides for Seven Broth-
ers” (1954) and “Funny Face”
(1957).
In “Dancing on the Ceiling:
Stanley Donen and His Movies”
(1996), Mr. Silverman’s autho-
rized biography of the director,
Donen was critical of Gene Kelly,
with whom he shared the direc-
tor’s chair in “On the Town”
(1949) and “Singin’ in the Rain”
(1952) — Kelly also starred in
both — saying Kelly was given
more credit than he deserved in
their collaborations.
“If you substitute the word
‘fight’ for ‘co-direct,’ then you
have it,” Donen said in the book.
Stephen Meredith Silverman
was born Nov. 22, 1951, in West
Covina, Calif. His father, Ray-
mond, owned a grocery store
and later a liquor store. His
mother, Shirley (Garfine) Silver-
man, was a homemaker.
Mr. Silverman edited his high
school newspaper and graduat-
ed in 1969. Four years later, he
earned his bachelor’s degree in
history from the University of
California, Irvine, then received
a master’s from the Columbia
Journalism School in 1975.
In the 1980s, Mr. Silverman
tried to produce a musical based
on “Amos ’n’ Andy,” the slapstick
comedy about a pair of Black
characters that began on radio
and moved to television before
CBS withdrew it from syndica-
tion in 1966 amid protests by civ-
il rights groups, which found it
demeaning. His hopes were
dashed when a federal judge, rul-
ing in 1987 on a lawsuit filed by
Mr. Silverman against CBS,
barred him from using the names
of the show’s characters and oth-
er trademarked materials.
Some of Mr. Silverman’s
books were detours from his en-
tertainment specialty. In 2015,
he and Raphael D. Silver, a film
p r o d u c e r, p u b l i s h e d “ T h e
Catskills: Its History and How It
Changed America.” Mr. Silver-
man also wrote “The Amuse-
ment Park: 900 Years of Thrills
and Spills, and the Dreamers
and Schemers Who Built Them”
(2019).
When interviewed by “CBS
This Morning” at Luna Park in
Coney Island, he described the
appeal of a quintessential
amusement park ride: “Even just
a single roller coaster, when
you’re at the top, you’re not
thinking of paying the mort-
gage.”
He left no immediate survi-
vors.
After Sondheim’s death in late
2021, Mr. Silverman was asked
by publishing house Black Dog &
Leventhal, part of the Hachette
Book Group, to write a book
about Sondheim — a mixture of
biography, analysis and opinion.
Titled “Sondheim: His Life, His
Shows, His Legacy,” the book is
to be published in September.
“He really dove into every-
thing written about and by
Sondheim and by his friends,
and talked to his friends and co-
workers,” Joe Davidson, his edi-
tor at Black Dog (which had pub-
lished his amusement parks
book), said in a phone interview.
In the book, Mr. Silverman
describes Sondheim’s conflicts
with Leonard Bernstein when
they were composing “West Side
Story,” which opened on Broad-
way in 1957. Sondheim, who
was 27, wrote the lyrics; Bern-
stein, then 39, wrote the music.
“What Sondheim didn’t ap-
preciate was Bernstein’s fancy-
ing himself a lyricist,” Mr. Silver-
man wrote. “He ‘would sketch
out something that was purple
prose, not poetry. It screamed,
‘Look at me, I’m being poetic!’
said Sondheim.”
syth, whose experience in Biafra
helped inspire his conversion to
writing political thrillers.
Father Doran testified before
the US Senate, leaving a lasting
impression on Senator Ted Ken-
nedy, who became a leading ad-
vocate for Biafra in Congress.
“He never did anything half-
way,” Frank Carlin, a retired
overseas director for Catholic
Relief Services, said in a phone
interview. “He was always pro-
gramming and planning, then
he went back and told the story.”
Father Doran died May 19 in
Dublin. He was 88. His niece
Cathy Doran said the cause was
myelodysplastic syndromes, a
rare form of blood cancer. His
death, in a hospital, was not
widely reported at the time.
Father Doran arrived in Nige-
ria in 1961, not long after being
ordained as a member of the Ho-
ly Ghost Fathers, a Roman Cath-
olic congregation also known as
the Spiritans. The congregation
had long had a strong presence
in Nigeria, especially in the
southeast, where the Igbo popu-
lation is mostly Christian.
He had worked in developing
countries before — he spent sev-
eral years as a teacher in Trini-
dad — but he fell in love with Ni-
geria, and especially the Igbo
culture, which, with its rich sto-
rytelling traditions and its histo-
ry of intense suffering under
English rule, seemed of a piece
with the Irish experience.
“I was sent there, and they
became my people,” he said in an
interview for “Biafra: Forgotten
Mission,” a 2018 documentary
directed by Brendan Culleton
and Irina Maldea.
The effects of the blockade
were immediate and devastat-
ing, especially after Nigeria cap-
tured Biafra’s oil-rich coast in
claimed the airlift was support-
ing the rebels and, by prolonging
the war, driving up the death
toll.
“If you call innocent children
and babies a few days old, and
babies a week old or a month old
who are dying of starvation —
they have no milk, no food — if
they are rebels, I don’t know
what,” Father Doran said in re-
sponse.
Michael Dermot Doran was
born on Sept. 22, 1934, in Ath-
boy, a town 35 miles northwest
of Dublin. His parents, Thomas
and Mary Anne (Guinan) Doran,
ran a pub; years later, one of
Dermot’s brothers, Eamonn,
founded one of New York City’s
most popular Irish bars. He died
in 1997.
Father Doran is survived by
his sister, Mary Mosely.
The Biafran war ended in
1970, when Nigeria reconquered
the breakaway region and ex-
pelled most of the European
missionaries.
Father Doran was then as-
signed to work as a communica-
tions officer with Catholic Relief
Ser vices in New York, from
which he was dispatched to di-
saster zones worldwide. In the
early 1970s, when he was sent to
Bangladesh and India, he be-
came close with Mother Teresa,
who invited him to deliver Mass
to her sisters in Calcutta (now
Kolkata).
In 1975 he moved to Toronto,
where he became director of Vol-
unteer International Christian
Service. He also served as the di-
rector of Brottier Refugee Servic-
es, a resettlement agency, before
retiring in Ireland in 2008.
“Dermot was everywhere,”
Carlin of Catholic Relief Services
said. “He got more out of a day
than anyone I knew.”

TV CRITIC’S CORNER ASK AMY

BY MATTHEW GILBERT

Marriage shifts between

blissful and abusive
Q. I am married to a wonderful woman. We
just completed 20 years of marriage and have
two fantastic teenagers. Our life is fairly bliss-
ful.
Unfortunately, we are cut off from our
families. My wife only gets along with her
mother; no one else. She has not talked to her
brother in years. She barely speaks to my fam-
ily when we visit them every other year. I feel
like I have eloped with her to a distant island.
She expects everyone to behave in a cer-
tain manner and if they don’t, she holds
grudges against them forever. She will not for-
give and move on. She brings up stuff from
years ago that no one even remembers. Even a
mention of anyone from my family leads to a
fight and a chronological list of gripes.
I would like my children to meet their rela-
tives, but she just refuses to budge. Every few
weeks, she will select something, pick a fight,
and be grumpy for a few days.
My family members are eager to move past
any disagreements. They have also apologized
for things they might have said or done years
ago, but since the apology was not word for
word like my wife wanted, she refused to ac-
cept it. My mom and dad have both died, but
that does not prevent her from berating them
APPLE TV+
in every fight she has with me.
From left: Zach Woods, John Cho, Zoë Chao, Paul Walter Hauser, Ken Jeong, and Poppy Liu in Aside from this issue, everything else is
“The Afterparty,” whose second season premieres July 12. bliss. She is a stay-at-home mom and fulfills
those responsibilities very well.
therapy — because their behavior serves their
own purposes.
I highly recommend professional counsel-
ing for you.
I also suggest that you should seriously
consider defying your wife.
You should contact your family members
as often as you want to, and visit with them if
you are able. When your wife tells you, “It’s
my way or the highway,” you should calmly re-
spond: “I’m taking the highway. And if you
love me and want to build a healthier rela-
tionship, you’ll come with me. Things need to
change.”
Q. Every year for Christmas and my birthday I
have one friend who gives me a gift that I
don’t want or can’t use. The gifts that she gave
me last year have been in the trunk of my car
since she gave them to me in December (my
birthday is Dec. 27).
I usually end up trashing the gifts because
I would be too embarrassed to even regift
them to anyone.
How do I tell her not to buy me anything
this year without hurting her feelings?
GIFTED
A. First of all, you should not “trash” any item
that might prove desirable or useful to some-
one else. Donating these gifts to your local
Goodwill or rummage sale would at least keep
them out of the landfill and would respect (in

Buoyant ‘Afterparty’ holds up well in season 2
I had a great time watching
the second season of the comedy-
mystery series “The Afterparty,”
which returned to Apple TV+
last week. This time around, the
murder takes place at a wedding,
instead of the first season’s class
reunion, and the cast of suspects
is different, with Paul Walter
Hauser, Ken Jeong, Elizabeth
Perkins, and Anna Konkle in the
mix. Only Tiffany Haddish, Sam
Richardson, and Zoë Chao from
season 1 return, working togeth-
er as a trio to solve the case.
The novelty — and the bril-
liance — of the series is the
“Rashomon”-like way each epi-
sode is told through the eyes of a
different suspect, and in the style
of that suspect’s mind-set. Epi-
sode 2, which was released last
Wednesday, was narrated by
Grace (Poppy Liu), the new wife
of the murder victim, Edgar (an
extremely amusing Zach Woods),
and her account of events looks
like a Regency costume drama.
My favorite episode, the fourth
(due on July 26), belongs to Kon-
kle’s hilariously coy character,
the dead man’s sister, whose ver-
sion of events takes form as a
Wes Anderson movie. It’s per-
fect.
I was afraid the “Afterparty”
formula might not click the sec-
ond time around, but it works
beautifully once again. You could
say season 2 isn’t as finely plot-
ted as season 1 and you wouldn’t
be wrong — but ultimately it
doesn’t matter. The fun is in the
characters and their imagina-
tions, as well as the comic actors
who play them. There’s also plen-
ty of good humor in Haddish’s in-
vestigator (she’s no longer a po-
lice detective), as she rolls her
eyes at the suspects and stays a
few steps ahead of them.
I liked “Glass Onion,” but, for
me, it pales next to this series,
which takes the same Agatha
Christie-esque concept and turns
it into something buoyant, goofy,
and original.
After years of fighting, I am feeling very
constrained. I can’t speak with my family
without her taunting me about it. She also
will throw in a taunt every couple of days, for
no specific reason.
I am so tired. I just want to get past this.
TIRED HUSBAND
A. I don’t want to burst your bliss bubble, but
the behavior you describe is abusive. Through
her controlling behavior, your wife has man-
aged to create a near-total estrangement from
all of your relatives. She then continues to
punish and isolate you, and sometimes taunts
you — just because she wants to.
I’m going to take it as a given that the
grievances which sparked this estrangement
are not serious, and happened many years
ago. Apologies have been offered and reject-
ed.
A skilled couples counselor could help you
two to change the way you communicate, but
dominating and abusive people tend to reject
a minimal way) your friend’s generous intent.
This year, you should say, “Because my
birthday is so close to Christmas, I feel over-
whelmed with gifts. Can we start a new tradi-
tion? Instead of gifts, I’d love just a card. And
let’s plan to do something fun together. That’s
the only gift I need.”
Q. I have meant to write to you since the pan-
demic started. I just wanted you to know that
reading your column every morning was
something to look forward to and just seemed
to give me a sense of life still going on for all of
us.
It’s hard to explain, but I want to thank
you for that daily affirmation.
ANDREA
A. Thank you so much! Doing this work dur-
ing the pandemic was a lifeline for me, too.

Antitrust Microsoft, Activision

officials delay deal to settle
target tech
mergers UK regulatory issues
By Karen Weise
By Cecilia Kang NEW YORK TIMES

and David McCabe Microsoft and Activision Blizzard

NEW YORK TIMES
WASHINGTON — The Biden
administration’s top antitrust of-
ficials unveiled tougher guide-
lines against tech mergers
Wednesday, signaling their deep-
ening scrutiny of the industry de-
spite recent court losses in their
attempts to block tech deal-mak-
ing.
Lina Khan, the chair of the
Federal Trade Commission, and
Jonathan Kanter, the top anti-
trust official at the Department of
Justice, released draft guidelines
for merger reviews that for the
first time include a focus on digi-
tal platforms and how dominant
companies can use their scale to
harm future rivals.
The guidelines — which gener-
ally provide a road map for
whether regulators block or ap-
prove deals — show the Biden ad-
ministration’s commitment to an
aggressive antitrust agenda
aimed at curtailing the power of
companies such as Google, Meta,
Apple, and Amazon.
The guidelines, which aren’t
enforced by law, follow a losing
streak in the courts. A ruling last
week prevented the FTC from de-
laying the closing of Microsoft’s
$69 billion acquisition of video
game maker Activision Blizzard.
In January, a court sided against
the FTC in its lawsuit to stop Me-
ta’s purchase of Within, a virtual
reality app maker.
The forceful antitrust posture
is a pillar of President Biden’s
agenda to stamp out economic in-
equality and encourage greater
competition. “Promoting compe-
tition to lower costs and support
small businesses and entrepre-
neurs is a central part of Bide-
nomics,” a senior administration
official said in a call with report-
ers.
The new guidelines would ap-
ply to all deals across the econo-
my. But they highlight obstacles
to competition among digital
platforms, including how an ac-
quisition of a nascent rival may be
intended to kill off future compe-
tition. Such deals, known as killer
acquisitions, are prevalent in the
tech industry and at the heart of
an FTC antitrust lawsuit against
Meta, which owns Facebook, Ins-
tagram, and WhatsApp. The
agency has accused Meta of buy-
ing Instagram in 2012 and
WhatsApp in 2014 to prevent
future competition.
The FTC and Justice Depart-
ment also said they would look at
how companies used their scale,
including their large number of
users, to ward off competition.
These so-called network effects
have helped companies including
Meta and Google maintain their
dominance in social media and
internet search.
The agencies also laid out
ways in which mergers involving
“platform” businesses, the model
used by Amazon’s online store
and Apple’s App Store, could
harm competition. An acquisition
could hurt competition by giving
a platform control over a signifi-
cant stream of data, the draft
guidelines said, echoing concerns
that tech giants use their vast
troves of information to squash
CHIP SOMODEVILLA/GETTY IMAGES
rivals.
While they lack the force of
law, the guidelines can influence
how judges look at challenges to
mergers and acquisitions. The ef-
fort to update the guidelines has
been closely watched by business-
es and corporate lawyers that
navigate regulatory scrutiny of
megadeals.
The guidelines were last up-
dated in 2020. In 2021, Biden or-
dered the Justice Department
and the F TC to update them
again as part of a broader effort to
improve competition across the
economy. The agencies will take
public comment on the proposals
and could make amendments be-
fore final guidelines are adopted.
“These guidelines contain crit-
ical updates while ensuring fideli-
ty to the mandate Congress has
given us and the legal precedent
on the books,” Khan said in a
statement.
While the FTC experienced
the recent court losses, it has
forced some companies, includ-
ing chipmaker Nvidia and aero-
space giant Lockheed Martin, to
abandon some large deals. The
Justice Department blocked pub-
lisher Penguin Random House
from buying Simon & Schuster,
using an unusual argument that
the merger would harm authors
who sold the publication rights to
their books.
said on Wednesday that they were
delaying a $69 billion merger as the
two companies scrambled to get final
approval from British antitrust regu-
lators.
The new extension, set for Oct.
18, signals that the two companies
believe they will complete the deal
but need more time to satisfy regula-
tors’ concerns.

plans to acquire the video game pub-

focused on the long-term opportuni-
ties ahead and completing our merg-

chief executive of Activision, said in a
statement.
The antitrust scrutiny has focused
on whether consumers will be
harmed if Microsoft, which makes
the Xbox video game console and has
a nascent game streaming platform,
also owns the game publisher behind
blockbusters like “Call of Duty”.
Three regulators ended up being
the most crucial gatekeepers to the
acquisition. The deal received a
green light from the European Union
in May after Microsoft agreed to offer
Activision games on other streaming
platforms. But it faced bigger opposi-
tion in the United States and Britain.
In December, the Federal Trade
Commission sued to oppose the ac-

quisition in the agency’s administra-
tive court, arguing Microsoft could
keep “Call of Duty” off Sony’s popular
PlayStation console. And in June, the
FTC asked a federal judge to post-
pone the deal while the administra-
tive process proceeded. That judge
ruled against the FTC last week, and
an appeals court on Friday rejected
the agency’s request to stop the deal
from closing.
The British antitrust regulator,
the Competition and Markets Au-

April, saying it could harm consum-

finding.
Last week, shortly after the feder-
al judge rejected the FTC’s attempt to
block the deal, Microsoft, Activision,
and the British antitrust regulator
said they wanted to pause the appeal
proceedings to see if they could nego-
tiate an arrangement that resolved
regulatory concerns.
On Monday, the regulator told the
tribunal handling the appeal that
there was a “realistic chance” the
talks would be successful. The tribu-
nal granted a two-month pause in
the appeal.

Temu files suit in Mass. against Heat

Shein, alleging antitrust violations up your

Chinese e-commerce retailer

Temu has filed a lawsuit in Mas-
summer
sachusetts accusing its rival
Shein of violating US antitrust with a
law by preventing garment mak-
ers from working with it.
Temu, which is owned by

site Pinduoduo Inc., is alleging
that Shein has compelled cloth-

Boston.
Shein (SHE-in) and Temu
(TEE-mu) are fast-rising online
shopping platforms. Shein has
grabbed the largest share of the
fast fashion market in the Unit-
ed States, at over 50 percent, ac-
cording to Temu’s complaint.
Temu is the second-most down-
loaded app in the United States,
according to the website data.ai,
formerly App Annie, which
tracks app rankings. It offers ev-
erything from apparel to house-
hold goods at similarly competi-
tive prices.
Both companies specialize in
“ultra-fast fashion,” where mak-
ers of clothes and accessories
crank out new designs inspired
by recent pop culture and social
media trends. According to the
complaint, Temu posts about
6,000 new clothing items every
week. Most are produced by
small manufacturers who often
make just a couple of hundred
copies of each new design. These
are often shipped directly from
factory to customer, eliminating
the need for a network of large
and costly warehouses. This lets
Temu and Shein charge far less
than traditional retailers and
even online stores like Amazon.
Shein had the market to itself
when it began doing business in
the United States in 2017. Temu
estimates that Shein has 75 per-
cent of the ultra-fast fashion
m a r k e t . B u t Te m u , w h i c h
launched in the United States
just 10 months ago, has already
become a formidable rival.
According to research from
card transactions, Temu posted
20 percent more in sales than
Shein in May of 2023.
In response, Temu said in its
complaint, Shein is playing dirty.
“Shein has engaged in a cam-
paign of threats, intimidation,
false assertions of infringement,
and attempts to impose baseless
punitive fines and has forced ex-
clusive dealing arrangements on
clothing manufacturers,” accord-
ing to the complaint Temu filed
on July 14 with the US District
Court for the District of Massa-
chusetts.
In an emailed statement,
Temu said that Shein also pun-
ished merchants that worked
with Temu by imposing “extra-
judicial fines” and forced retail-
ers to assign their intellectual
property rights to Shein, which
could then seek to enforce these
rights against those who also
operate on Temu.
“For a long time, we have ex-
ercised significant restraint and
refrained from pursuing legal
actions. However, Shein’s esca-
lating attacks leave us no choice
but to take legal measures to de-
fend our rights and the rights of
those merchants doing business
on Temu, as well as the consum-
ers’ rights to a wide variety of af-
fordable products,” the retailer
said in the statement.
Shein did not immediately re-
spond to the Associated Press
with a comment, though it pre-
viously said that the case was
“without merit” and that the
firm would defend itself against
the allegations.

nipulation in scientific images.
While the report concluded that
it would not have been reason-
able to expect Tessier-Lavigne to
catch these errors prior to publi-
cation, he failed to promptly
correct or retract studies once
problems were later flagged. In
light of his discussions with the
panel, Tessier-Lavigne’s state-
ment and the report indicate
that he is now planning to re-
tract three studies and to cor-
rect two others.
“ The Scientific Panel has
concluded that Dr. Tessier-Lavi-
gne did not personally engage in
research misconduct for any of
the twelve papers about which
allegations have been raised,”
the report notes. “However, sev-
eral of these papers do exhibit
manipulation of research data.”
At multiple points through-
out his career, the panel added,
Tessier-Lavigne “failed to deci-
sively and forthrightly correct
mistakes in the scientific re-
cord.”
Tessier-Lavigne framed the
report’s findings as largely exon-
erating him in a statement on
Wednesday, but he accepted the
panel’s assessment. “I agree that
in some instances I should have
been more diligent when seek-
ing corrections, and I regret that
I was not,” he said. “The Panel’s
review also identified instances
of manipulation of research da-
ta by others in my lab. Although
I was unaware of these issues, I
want to be clear that I take re-
sponsibility for the work of my
lab members.”
He said he was resigning in
the best interests of Stanford,
which he has led since 2016.

refutes the allegations of fraud
and misconduct that were made
against me, for the good of the
University, I have made the deci-

I’m a multi-tasking working
mother trying to do it all. Some-

future columns; other times my
column is likely to inform the

Which brings me to my first
guest: Joan Donovan.

The investigation confirmed data manipulation in scientific papers that Marc Terrier-Lavigne
coauthored and found that he took insufficient steps to correct them.
published studies, noticed
something odd. Figures in some
papers coauthored by Tessier-
Lavigne seemed to contain im-
ages that had been duplicated,
moved around, or otherwise
manipulated.
In February, the newspaper
reported that there were falsi-
fied results in a landmark paper
published in the journal Nature
in 2009 while Tessier-Lavigne
was a top scientist at South San
Francisco biotech Genentech.
The article said former compa-
ny employees, most of them
anonymous, claimed that Tessi-
er-Lavigne knew about issues
with the study, which was con-
ducted under his supervision,
and that he tried to keep them
from the public’s attention.
These allegations triggered
Stanford’s Board of Trustees to
announce that it was forming a
special committee to investigate
concerns with Tessier-Lavigne’s
past research. The committee
retained former federal judge
Mark Filip and his law firm,
Kirkland & Ellis, to lead the re-
view with the assistance of an
outside panel of five scientists,
including the former president
of Princeton University, a Nobel
laureate, and several members
of the National Academies, a
body of esteemed scientists.
The special committee’s re-
por t is based on more than
50,000 documents from “jour-
nals, institutions, and Dr. Tessi-
er-Lavigne’s own digital re-
cords,” as well as more than 50
meetings with “individuals with
knowledge pertaining to one or
more aspects of the investiga-
tion,” according to the docu-
ment.
The findings center around a
dozen papers Tessier-Lavigne
coauthored between 1999 and
2009. In seven of the 12 studies,
Tessier-Lavigne was a so-called
middle author, meaning he did
not perform key experiments
nor supervise the bulk of the sci-
ence. In these cases, the panel
concluded that he played little
to no role in the preparation of
flagged figures.
For the five studies in which
he played a key and leading role,
the panel similarly found that
Tessier-Lavigne did not have

Santis’ campaign has been ac-
cused of using artificial intelli-

Meanwhile, the mainstream
media is figuring out how to
cover the presidential candidacy
of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who
spreads conspiracy theories on
vaccines and the origin of
COVID-19. Does covering the
Democratic challenger give him
credibility, or must journalists
do more to debunk his claims?
My conversation with Dono-
van focused on the important
role the media will need to play
in helping voters discern the
truth.
In 2020, she said, platforms
like Google, Facebook, and Twit-
ter made a “robust attempt” to
contain misinformation, but
now “all bets are off.”
“Google’s laid off a bunch of
people, as has Facebook, Twitter
has imploded,” Donovan said on

knowledge of any data manipu-
lation done by researchers un-
der his supervision. The report
authors did not believe he was
reckless in failing to spot issues
before publication, noting that
some of the data manipulations
went unseen for decades despite
the advent of modern image
analysis tools. But they added
an important caveat.
‘I agree that in
some instances I
should have been
more diligent
when seeking
corrections, and I
regret that I was
not.’
MARC TESSIER-LAVIGNE
Stanford president
“Nonetheless, based on the
available research record and
other factors, each of these pa-
pers has serious flaws in the pre-
sentation of research data; in at
least four of the five papers,
there was apparent manipula-
tion of research data by others,”
the panel wrote.
These studies included two
papers published in the journal
Science in 2001 as well as a
study published in the journal
Cell in 1999. In some cases, the
panel concluded that images
from a western blot, a common
experiment used to detect spe-
cific proteins, had been reused,
moved around, or otherwise
manipulated in ways that went
beyond simply trying to make a
figure tidy and presentable.
The report notes that Tessier-
Lavigne now plans to retract
these papers, and that the panel
supports this decision. The out-
side experts similarly found evi-
dence of data manipulation in a
2004 Nature paper that Tessier-
Lavigne supervised and which
he now plans to correct.
The report also probed the
science surrounding the 2009

be up to journalists to keep peo-
ple informed about what’s hap-
pening, and to keep one eye on
the campaign and one eye on
the Internet, and to know what
the difference is between the
two.”
Donovan left me with a part-
ing thought about a 1993 New

a new way to understand and
potentially treat Alzheimer’s
disease.
The special committee re-
port found no evidence of fraud
connected to the study, echoing
findings from an internal Ge-
nentech investigation released
in April.
The report does not clearly
spell out what level of evidence
it would have taken to find Tess-
ier-Lavigne engaged in miscon-
duct. But Filip said that the pan-

whether it was more likely than
not that Tessier-Lavigne had
committed research miscon-
duct, using the federal Office of
Research Integrity’s definition
of the term as “fabrication, falsi-
fication or plagiarism in propos-
ing, performing, or reviewing
research, or in reporting re-
search results” that is “commit-
ted intentionally, knowingly, or
recklessly.”
And ye t the panel didn’ t
completely exonerate Tessier-
Lavigne. The report noted that
the research that went into the
2009 Nature study “lacked the
rigor expected for a paper of
such potential consequence,”
citing issues with the experi-
mental design, statistical analy-
sis, and the purity and quality of
protein samples used by re-
searchers.
The report pointed out that a
colleague of Tessier-Lavigne
flagged issues with one of the
2001 Science papers weeks after
publication. But while the neu-
roscientist initially reached out
to a postdoctoral researcher
asking for a correct version of
the image in question, Tessier-
Lavigne told the investigators
he forgot to contact the journal
to ask it to issue a correction.
And while Tessier-Lavigne
later reached out to Science in

papers published in that jour-

rections he had submitted.

HOROSCOPE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
July 20, 2023:
You thrive on movement, change
and activity. Your friends love hear-
ing about your exploits. But it’s also
important to appreciate content-
ment. This year is about learning
and teaching. Explore philosophies
that will give you a better self-
awareness and get you closer to the
true meaning of your life.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Expect challenges at work or with
whatever task you set for yourself.
Keep your head down and your
powder dry. Stay focused on your
tasks and don’t let issues get you
down, especially ones related to
bosses or older people who seem
to know more. Tonight: Work.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
This is a tough day for romance.
It’s also a tough day for social ac-
tivities and sports, because rules,
regulations and certain people
seem to make things hard for you.
Don’t push the river. You can’t
change what you can’t change.
Keep a low profile and be patient.
Tonight: Relax.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Family relationships might be
strained today, especially with
parents or older family members.
This is because whatever you want
to do, your efforts seem to be
thwarted. This is not the day to
ask for permission or approval. All
you will get is, ‘‘Talk to the hand.’’
Tonight: Cocoon.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
It might be difficult to navigate
and do what you want today, espe-
cially if you’re taking a short trip,
studying or driving around for er-
rands or appointments. It’s as if
life is just hard for you today. The
world is not cooperating. Definite-
ly steer clear of controversial sub-
jects and arguments. Tonight:
Conversations.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Financial matters look bleak to-
day. You might feel broke. (Why is
there so much month left at the
end of the money?) You also might
feel discouraged about something
that you own, your wealth or your
assets. Things aren’t going your
way today. Relax. This is a tempo-
rary dark cloud on your horizon.
Tonight: Count your money.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Relations with partners and close
friends are discouraging today.
