For many years, the Harvest Food Co-
operative was the only food co-op in the
Boston area. It started in 1971 as a bulk-
buying collective for people who wanted
access to the kind of natural foods then
hard to come by. By the time its last re-
maining branch closed in 2018, the likes
of organic vegetables and whole grains
had become not just mainstream but big
business. Who needed co-ops when even
stores like Wal-Mart and Target sold
kale, quinoa, and soy milk?
Then, in May 2023, the Assabet Co-
Op Market opened in Maynard. It has
more than 2,500 members. “It’s a gro-
cery store, and it’s so much more than a
grocery store,” said Laura Mattei, who
was the 20th member to sign on. “It’s re-

supporting farmers and other artisans,
supporting our neighbors. And knowing
where your food comes from, which is
really hard these days.”

4 arrested in Moscow attack; toll climbs
Putin blames
‘international
terrorism’
By Paul Sonne
and Ivan Nechepurenko
NEW YORK TIMES
Russian authorities said Sat-
urday they had arrested the four
individuals suspected of carry-
ing out a mass killing and arson
at a suburban Moscow concert
venue, which left at least 133
people dead and constituted one
of the worst terrorist attacks to
jolt Russia in President Vladimir
Putin’s nearly quarter-century in
power.
The Islamic State group has
taken responsibility for the bru-
tal assault in three different
messages issued since Friday.
But Putin, in his first public re-
marks on the tragedy more than
19 hours after the attack, made
no mention of the extremist
group, or the identities of the
perpetrators, broadly blaming
“international terrorism.”
The Russian leader did take a
swipe at Ukraine, saying that
the suspects were apprehended
while traveling to the Russian
border, where he alleged a cross-
ing was being prepared for them
from “the Ukrainian side.”
Ukraine has denied any involve-
ment in the attack.
Russian state news broad-
casts similarly ignored or cast

group attribution, and commen-
tators foc used on tr ying to
blame Ukraine. As of Saturday,
authorities had not disclosed
the identities of the alleged gun-
men.
But s tate ne ws did show
what it described as footage of
interrogations of at least two of
the suspects, including one who
spoke in Tajik through an inter-
preter and another who said he
carried out the killings for mon-
ey after being recruited over the
messaging app Telegram. Rus-
sia’s Interior Ministry said the
four suspects were all foreign
citizens.
In his video address, Putin
said the four main perpetrators
had been apprehended, as well
as seven other individuals.
“The main thing now is to
prevent those who were behind
this bloody massacre from com-
mitting new crimes,” he said.
The Russian leader designat-
ed Sunday as a national day of
mourning and vowed retribu-
tion against those who orga-
nized the attack.
“All perpetrators, organizers
and commissioners of this crime
will receive a just and inevitable
punishment,” Putin said. “No
matter who they are, no matter
who directed them, I repeat, we
will identify and punish every-
one who stood behind the ter-
rorists.”
By Saturday, the vast concert
venue had been reduced to a
heap of burned rubble, dust,
and smoke after a mammoth

tion to show the nation and the
world he was firmly in control.
Just days later came a searing
counterpoint: His vaunted secu-
rity apparatus failed to prevent
Russia’s deadliest terrorist at-
tack in 20 years.
Friday’s assault, which killed
at least 133 people at a concert
hall in suburban Moscow, was a
blow to Putin’s aura as a leader
for whom national security is
paramount. That is especially
true after two years of a war in
Ukraine that he describes as key
to Russia’s survival — and which
he cast as his top priority after
the election last Sunday.
“The election demonstrated a
seemingly confident victory,” Al-
exander Kynev, a Russian politi-
cal scientist, said in a phone in-
terview from Moscow. “And sud-
denly, against the backdrop of a
confident victory, there’s this de-
monstrative humiliation.”
Putin seemed blindsided by
the assault. It took him more
than 19 hours to address the na-

down the roof.
As emergency services work-
ers continued to comb the
scene, survivors gave harrowing
accounts of their escapes.
“The panic was terrifying,”
said Olya Muravyova, 38, who
had been standing in line with
her husband to buy a beer be-
fore the performance by Piknik,
a Russian rock band formed in
the late 1970s that was about to
play at the venue when the at-
tack occurred.
“ We were in such a good
mood,” she said Saturday, visit-
ing the scene of the attack in the
hopes of picking up her car. Sud-
denly, five minutes before the
performance was set to start,
tion about the attack, the deadli-
est in Russia since the 2004
school siege in Beslan, in the
country’s south, which claimed
334 lives. When he did, the Rus-
sian leader said nothing about
the mounting evidence that a
branch of the Islamic State
group committed the attack.
Instead, Putin hinted that
Ukraine was behind the tragedy
and said the assailants had acted
“just like the Nazis,” who “once
carried out massacres in the oc-
cupied territories” — evoking his
frequent, false description of
present-day Ukraine as being
run by neo-Nazis.
“Our common duty now —
our comrades at the front, all cit-
izens of the country — is to be to-
gether in one formation,” Putin
said at the end of a five-minute
speech, trying to conflate the
fight against terrorism with his
invasion of Ukraine.
The question is: How much
of the Russian public will buy in-
to his argument? They might ask
whether Putin, with the invasion
and his conflict with the West,
truly has the country’s security
interests at heart — or whether
he is woefully forsaking them, as
many of his opponents say he is.

ly ignored a warning from the
United States about a potential

she heard shots ring out.
“I thought maybe the band
was making a dramatic en-
trance,” she said. But her hus-
band told her to run and then to
hide.
The names of some of the vic-
tims have also begun to emerge
from officials and in local news
reports. Most of those identified
so far appeared to have been in
their 40s, and many had trav-
eled from other parts of the
country to attend the concert.
Alexander Baklemishev, 51,
had long dreamed about seeing
the band, his son told local me-
dia, and had traveled from his
home city of Satka, some 1,000
miles east of Moscow, to see
terrorist attack is likely to deep-
en the skepticism. Instead of act-
ing on the warnings and tighten-
ing security, he dismissed them
as “provocative statements.”
“All this resembles outright
blackmail and an intention to in-
timidate and destabilize our so-
ciety,” Putin said Tuesday in a
speech to the FSB, Russia’s do-
mestic intelligence agency, refer-
ring to the Western warnings.
After Friday’s attack, some of his
exiled critics have cited his re-
sponse as evidence of the presi-
dent’s detachment from Russia’s
true security concerns.
Rather than keeping society
safe from actual, violent terror-
ists, those critics say, Putin has
directed his security services to
pursue dissidents, journalists,
and anyone deemed a threat to
the Kremlin’s definition of “tra-
ditional values.”
A case in point: Just hours
before the attack, state media re-
ported that Russian authorities
had added “the LGBT move-
ment” to an official list of “ter-
rorists and extremists”; Russia
had already outlawed the gay
rights movement last year. Ter-
rorism was also among the
many charges prosecutors lev-
eled against Alexei Navalny, the
imprisoned opposition leader
who died last month.

them perform.
His son, Maksim, told the
Russian news outlet MSK1 that
his father had sent a video of the
concert hall before the attack
and that it was the last he had
heard from him.
“There was no last conversa-
tion,” his son said. “All that was
left is the video, and nothing
more.”
Across the country, Russians
placed flowers at makeshift me-
morials.
Many lined up in the capital
to donate blood. Russian offi-
cials gave regular updates about
the more than 100 people
wounded in the attack, many of
them in critical condition. Au-
“In a country in which coun-
terterrorism special forces chase
after online commenters,” Rus-
lan Leviev, an exiled Russian
military analyst, wrote in a so-
cial media post Saturday, “ter-
rorists will always feel free.”
Even as the Islamic State
group repeatedly claimed re-
sponsibility for the attack and
Ukraine denied any involve-
ment, the Kremlin’s messengers
pushed into overdrive to try to
convince the Russian public that
this was merely a ruse.
Olga Skabeyeva, a state tele-
vision host, wrote on Telegram
that Ukrainian military intelli-
gence had found assailants “who
would look like ISIS. But this is
no ISIS.” Margarita Simonyan,
editor of the state-run RT TV
network, wrote that reports of
Islamic State responsibility
amounted to a “basic sleight of
hand” by American news media.
On a prime-time talk show on
the state-run Channel 1, Russia’s
best-known ultraconservative
ideologue, Alexander Dugin, de-
clared that Ukraine’s leadership
and “their puppet masters in the
Western intelligence services”
had surely organized the attack.
It was an effort to “under-
mine trust in the president,”
Dugin said, and it showed regu-
lar Russians that they had no

thorities warned that the death
toll was likely to rise and said
three children were among the
dead.
US officials said the atrocity
was the work of Islamic State-
Khorosan, or ISIS-K, an offshoot
of the group that has been active
in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and
Iran.
The tragedy began Friday
evening, when men in fatigues
armed with automatic weapons
stormed Crocus City Hall, situat-
ed in the Moscow suburb of
Krasnogorsk.
First, they began shooting
people, many at point-blank
range. Then, the attackers used
a flammable liquid to set fire to
the premises of the large concert
hall, according to Russia’s Inves-
tigative Committee, which said
many of the victims perished af-
ter inhaling the toxic fumes.
In interviews with Russian
media, some survivors recalled
running out of the venue and
trying to escape through a utility
area, only to find the doors
locked.
The attack represented a sig-
nificant security failure for the
Kremlin and came just days af-
ter Putin claimed victory in the
presidential election.
For years, Putin has empha-
sized countering international
terrorism as a top priority, but
since invading Ukraine two
years ago, he has pivoted to cast-
ing the West as the biggest for-
eign threat faced by Russians.
In recent weeks, Russian au-
thorities had been warned about
the possibility of a terrorist at-
tack at a concert in Moscow.
choice but to unite behind Pu-
tin’s war against Ukraine.
Dugin’s daughter was killed
in a car bombing near Moscow
in 2022 that US officials said was
indeed authorized by parts of
the Ukrainian government, but
without US involvement.
US officials have said there is
no evidence of Ukrainian in-
volvement in the concert hall at-
tack, and Ukrainian officials rid-
iculed the Russian accusations.
Andriy Yusov, a representative of
Ukraine’s military intelligence
agency, said Putin’s claim that
the attackers had fled toward
Ukraine and intended to cross
into it, with the help of Ukraini-
an authorities, made no sense.
Putin’s early years in power
were marked by terrorist at-
tacks, culminating in the Beslan
school siege; he used those vio-
lent episodes to justify his roll-
back of political freedoms. Be-
fore Friday, the most recent
mass-casualty terrorist attack in
the capital region was a suicide
bombing at a Moscow airport in
2011 that killed 37 people.
Still, given the Kremlin’s effi-
cacy in cracking down on dissent
and the news media, Kynev pre-
dicted that the political conse-
quences of the concert hall at-
tack would be limited, as long as
the violence was not repeated.

people who are still being held.
Kidnappings en masse took
place Friday in different areas of
the La Noria region, outside Si-

Members of criminal groups
made hostages of at least three
families, said local public securi-

Rescuers dug for victims following an Israeli airstrike in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip.
In Gaza, countless bodies
buried beneath the rubble
Shadow death
toll grows with
each airstrike
By Vivian Yee,
Iyad Abuheweila,
Abu Bakr Bashir,
and Ameera Harouda
NEW YORK TIMES
A curly-haired young man
shakes as he bends over the
mound of smashed concrete that
used to be his friend’s home. He
clutches his rain-spotted iPhone
in his trembling hands, but there
i s n o a n s w e r. “ P l e a s e G o d ,
Ahmed,” he sobs in a video post-
ed on social media. “Please God.”
A father crawls over a moun-
tain of gray concrete shards, his
right ear pressed to the dust. “I
can’t hear you, love,” he tells his
absent children in a different
video shared on Instagram and
verified by The New York Times.
He scrabbles over a few yards to
try again. “Salma! Said!” he yells,
hitting his dusty hammer
against the mute concrete over
and over, before breaking down.
“Said,” he cries, “didn’t I tell you
to take care of your sister?”
Another man on another rub-
ble heap is looking for his wife
and his children, Rahaf, 6, and
Aboud, 4. “Rahaf,” he cries, lean-
ing forward to scan the twisted
pile of gray before him. “What
has she done to deserve this?”
The Gaza Strip has become a
140-square-mile graveyard, each
destroyed building a jagged
tomb for those buried within.
The most recent health min-
istry estimate for the number of
people missing in Gaza is about
7,000. But that figure has not
been updated since November.
Gaza and aid officials say thou-
sands more have most likely
been added to that toll in the
weeks and months since then.
Some were buried too hastily
to be counted. Others lie decom-
posing in the open, in places too
dangerous to be reached, or have
simply disappeared amid the
fighting, the chaos and ongoing
Israeli detentions.
The rest, in all likelihood, re-
main trapped under the rubble.
The piles of debris have been
multiplying ever since Oct. 7,
when Hamas attacked Israel,
killing about 1,200 people, ac-
cording to Israeli officials. Israel
launched its retaliatory war, and
the number of search-and-res-
cue operations — both profes-
sional and, increasingly, ama-
teur — also soared.
Af ter airs trikes, a sma ll
crowd of would-be rescuers
gathers. In Instagram videos like
the ones described above, the
searchers — a mix of profession-
al civil defense workers, family
members, and neighbors — can
be seen clambering over and on-
to the dusty wreckage of homes
and buildings to dig.
But hopes dwindle quickly.
The people they are looking for
are usually found dead beneath
the wreckage — days, weeks, or
even months later.
The buried make up a shad-
ow death toll in Gaza, a leaden
asterisk to the health ministry’s
official tally of more than 31,000
dead, and an open wound for
families who hope against hope
for a miracle.
Most families have accepted
that their missing are dead, and
it is unclear how much of the es-
timate of those unaccounted for
is already reflected in the official
death toll. The continuing shell-
ing, crossfire and airstrikes often
make it too dangerous to sift
UN chief says starvation
situation ‘moral outrage’
By Samy Magdy, Amr
Nabil, and Sam Metz
ASSOCIATED PRESS
R A FA H C R O S S I N G ,
Egypt — UN Secretary-Gen-
eral António Guterres stood
near a long line of waiting
trucks Saturday and declared
it was time to “truly flood Ga-
za with life-saving aid,” call-
ing the starvation inside the
enclave a “moral outrage.” He
called for an immediate
cease-fire between Israel and
Hamas.
Guterres spoke on the
Egyptian side of the border
not far from the southern Ga-
za city of Rafah, where Israel
plans to launch a ground as-
sault despite widespread
warnings of a potential disas-
ter. More than half of Gaza’s
population has taken refuge
there.
“Any further onslaught
will make things even worse
— worse for Palestinian civil-
ians, worse for hostages and
worse for all people in the re-
gion,” Guterres said.
He spoke a day after the
UN Security Council failed to
reach consensus on the word-
ing of a resolution supporting
“an immediate and sustained
cease-fire.”
Guterres repeatedly noted
through the wreckage for the
bodies. Other times, relatives are
too far away, having separated
from the rest of their families in
the search for somewhere safer.
Photographs that have
emerged of Gaza’s rubble heaps
testify to families’ intention to
recover the dead someday:
“Omar Al Riyati and Osama
Badawi are under the rubble,”
reads the spray paint on a tarp
draped across the door of one
blown-out building.
When a multistory building
collapses, it is impossible to
comb the hill of debris without
heavy machines or fuel to power
them. Often, neither is available.
Gaza has been under a debili-
tating blockade enforced by Isra-
el and Egypt since Hamas took
control of the strip in 2007, and
the equipment typically used to
rescue people after earthquakes
and other events of mass de-
struction are largely forbidden
from entering the territory.
Across all of Gaza, Ahmed
Abu Shehab, a civil defense
worker in the territory, is aware
of only two excavators available
for the task. Without them, res-
cuers rely on shovels, drills, and
their own hands: a grimly mo-
notonous mission, undertaken
mostly by men running on anger
and grief but little food, water, or
rest.
Last fall, Abu Shehab said he
was part of a team that used
bulldozers and an excavator to
pull dozens of people from the
ruins of a three-story house — a
lengthy job, given the size of the
building. It took 48 hours to
reach the people inside. By then,
all of them had died, he said.
In late October, when an air-
strike brought down a multisto-
ry building in Al Nuseirat, there
was so much wreckage that a
bulldozer first had to come and
clear the road, said Ahmed Is-
mael, 30. The two families in the
building next door were not

the difficulties of getting aid
into Gaza, for which interna-
tional aid agencies have
largely blamed Israel.
“Here from this crossing,
we see the heartbreak and
heartlessness … a long line of
blocked relief trucks on one
side of the gates, the long
shadow of starvation on the
other,” he said.
He added: “It is time for
an ironclad commitment by
Israel for total … access for
humanitarian goods to Gaza,
and in the Ramadan spirit of
compassion, it is also time for
the immediate release of all
hostages.”
Hamas is believed to be
holding around 100 hostages
as well as the remains of 30
others taken in its Oct. 7 at-
tack that killed about 1,200
people, mostly civilians, and
prompted an Israeli declara-
tion of war.
An estimated 1.5 million
Palestinians now shelter in
Rafah.
Israel’s invasion has killed
more than 32,000 people, ac-
cording to Gaza health offi-
cials, while leaving much of
the enclave in ruins and dis-
placing some 80 percent of
the enclave’s 2.3 million peo-
ple.
ple died there, including several
children, said Ismael, a nurse
w h o s e c o u s i n’s f a m i l y w a s
among the dead.
The extended family had
sought refuge there after leaving
their own home in Sheikh Rad-
wan, in Gaza City, early in the
war, Ismael said. They had cho-
sen to split up among several lo-
cations so that if a group shelter-
ing in one place was killed, the
others might survive.
That was what happened.
Searchers had managed to pull
some bodies from the second
floor by dig ging with their
hands, but Ismael said his cous-
in, Salwa, one of her sons and
her brother, Mahmoud, were
still buried. So were five mem-
bers of the family hosting them.
The bulldozer was no help.
The buildings had been too mas-
sive, and after clearing the road,
the driver told the diggers that
he did not have enough fuel in
any case, Ismael said.
Calling 101, the Gaza equiva-
lent of 911, is of little use: Com-
munications networks are weak,
erratic, or nonfunctional. In-
stead, many people have taken
to braving the heavy fighting
and rubble-choked streets to re-
quest help in person at civil de-
fense headquarters.
Even if they do get through,
the lack of fuel and the continu-
ing attacks mean ambulances
and rescue workers are hard-
pressed to move around Gaza to
answer their pleas.
Since mid-November, after
the Israeli military occupied
most of northern Gaza and Gaza
City, Palestinian Red Crescent
Society teams have been unable
to enter that part of the strip
freely, said Nebal Fesakh, a
spokesperson for the group.
There is nothing they can do to
respond to desperate calls on the
101 line from people trapped
there or to treat the wounded, to
take away a body, to dig for the
missing.

People protested the Vitals-Steward deal in Valletta, Malta, in March 2023. Demonstrators were angry about the money spent and the lack of progress on the project.
Malta foray ended in controversy

Continued from Page A1
tract in February 2023 and accused Steward and its prede-
cessor company of fraud. (An appeals court later upheld the
decision to invalidate the contract but said the court was
wrong to suggest Steward was guilty of criminal deeds.)
The company handed back control of hospital operations
to the government of Malta, just south of Sicily, last spring,
4½ years after taking over a 30-year deal to run the three di-
lapidated hospitals that together serve thousands of patients
and are critical to the island’s medical system.
In Malta, the company’s lawyers are now fighting de-
mands for tens of millions of dollars in unpaid taxes, and a
growing list of lawsuits filed by unpaid contractors. Credi-
tors, according to filings, include a security firm, caterers,
orthopedic suppliers, and a company that provided coffee
and snacks. The biggest creditor appears to be a local bank:
Steward allegedly owes tens of thousands of dollars in con-
struction loans, cosigned by the government — loans the
company’s representatives now argue are no longer its re-
sponsibility.
Steward, for its part, has accused the Maltese govern-
ment of violating European Union law when it terminated
the hospital deal and defends its work in Malta, which it
touts on its website as a case study in success and a model
for its international expansion. Since 2020, Steward has
opened offices in Madrid, Riyadh, Dubai, and Bogota, and in
2022 said it plans to expand into Asia. The company is a sep-
arate entity from the company that runs Steward’s US hospi-
tals.
Critics in Malta, including leaders of the opposition party
as well as union leaders representing doctors and medical
workers, have accused Steward in both the media and in
court of reneging on a straightforward deal: In exchange for
guaranteed annual government payments that in 2021 alone
topped more than $80 million according to Steward’s web-
site, the company was supposed to modernize the three hos-
pitals.
Instead, they allege, the company made only cosmetic
changes, and did not deliver any significant improvement to
the quality of the nation’s health care. Aside from the con-
struction of the medical school campus and “pockets of
progress registered in other respects, all other concession
milestones were not achieved,” government auditors wrote
in May.
To this day one of the three hospitals Steward was to up-
grade sits largely abandoned, the interior of its main build-
ing littered with debris and infested with pigeons, according
to news video footage that has circulated widely in recent
months and other press coverage. Much of the promised
work at the other two hospitals also never began, according
to government auditors and court testimony.
“To the great surprise of this court,” a judge wrote in his
February 2023 decision annulling the deal, the only evidence
Steward presented to back up its claims that it honored its
commitments was a one-page affidavit from Steward’s direc-
tor of facilities management and 76 pages of photos that in-
cluded “a new helicopter which was allegedly bought in the
year 2016,” and a photo showing “the refurbishment of the
telephone operator’s bathroom within the Gozo Hospital,
with details of all the ceramics installed.”
This court “is really perplexed by the poverty of the evi-
dence Steward brought before this court,” the judge wrote,
adding that it “probably reflects the poverty of investment”
in the project.
In a later, October 2023 decision, an appeals court sug-
gested more work was carried out than simply laying bath-
room tiles, and noted that it was only after Steward took
over the project that “some serious work began to be carried
out.” But it confirmed that Steward had failed to meet obli-
gations spelled out in the initial concession.
“They were a nightmare,” said Joseph Vella, chief execu-
tive officer of UHM Voice of the Workers, the main union
representing Maltese medical workers, who testified at the
initial trial. In an interview with the Globe, he accused Stew-
ard of “daylight robbery” and said it did little to improve the
quality of health care and sought to pay workers even less
than the government had when it ran the hospitals.
Officials at Steward International tell a very different sto-
ry. Steward made “significant, long-term investments” in
Malta, according to the company’s website, which highlights
the replacement of a ferry with an air-ambulance service
(and includes a photograph of the helicopter mentioned by
B o s t o n S u n d a y G l o b e
the court) and the construction of a state-of-the art medical
school campus affiliated with the London School of Medi-
cine and Dentistry. The firm also says it added 28 beds to one
hospital and a new laboratory and new 10-bed ward for or-
thopedic cases at another.
“We are proud of what we have achieved in a short period
of time,” Armin Ernst, who headed the company’s Malta ef-
fort and now serves as CEO of Steward International, wrote
in a brief email to the Globe.
To be sure, Malta’s health care system had plenty of prob-
lems long before Steward arrived. Though Malta has a vi-
brant tourism industry, its state-run hospitals have long
waiting lists for many services, and most are in dire need of
modernization.
To turn things around and eventually attract medical
tourists, the government announced in 2015 what it billed
as an innovative “public-private-partnership model” de-
signed to remedy the situation, initially awarding the 30-
year concession to a little-known company called Vitals
Global Healthcare to run, and upgrade, three of its four
main public hospitals. (All told, Malta has eight health cen-
ters of various sizes that provide medical care.)
Vitals, which had an opaque ownership structure that
could be traced through a shell company back to a Singapor-
ean private investment firm, according to Maltese govern-
ment auditors, hired Partners HealthCare International
(PHI), a Harvard-affiliated health care consulting firm, to
advise it. On the firm’s recommendation, Vitals director
Ram Tumuluri hired Ernst, Steward Healthcare’s senior vice
president of clinical affairs at the time, to serve as its chief
executive officer.

Tumuluri also approached Partners HealthCare Interna-
tional executives about exporting the public-private-partner-
ship model in Malta to other nations. But soon after arriv-
ing, Ernst began lobbying to instead partner with Steward,
according to documents appended to a 550-page whistle-
blower complaint filed by Tumuluri with the US Securities
and Exchange Commission, the US Department of Justice,
and the Maltese Parliament.
A copy of the complaint was given by a Maltese lawmaker
to the nonprofit Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting
Project, or OCCRP, and the Daphne Caruana Galicia Founda-
tion, an organization founded to carry on the work of a
prominent Maltese investigative journalist killed in a 2017
car bombing. The foundation shared the filing with the
Globe. Tumuluri is represented by Andrew Bakaj, a promi-
nent Washington, D.C.-based whistle-blower attorney, who
confirmed the authenticity of the Globe’s copy of the com-
plaint and the documents attached to it.
Ernst seemed to have little interest in working with the
Partners international affiliate. In one email to Tumuluri,
appended to the complaint, he said Partners runs “one of the
most inefficient, disjointed, duplicative — and most expen-
sive — systems anywhere in the world.”
Steward, by contrast, is focused on growing outside the
United States, he wrote, and “the level of commitment and
resources we can draw on will be quite different.”
Partners declined to respond.
Tumuluri and Steward failed to reach an agreement, and
in the fall of 2017, Ernst resigned from Vitals, and soon after
started a new job: director of a new entity called Steward

tional.
Several months later, in February 2018, Vitals announced
it was selling its hospital concession to Steward.
The government had had reason to be dissatisfied with
the performance of Vitals: At the time of the sale to Steward,
two years after Vitals arrived, it had not started on any of the
promised improvements, according to government auditors.
But in the months that followed, the audits and subse-
quent court rulings suggest, Steward also disappointed.
Upon taking over, Steward demanded the government re-
negotiate its contract before moving forward with major re-
furbishments to the hospitals, claiming it had received as-
surances before taking over that the government would do
so. The prime minister told auditors commitments to amend
and restructure the deal “were not concrete.” Steward
claimed the cost to run the hospitals exceeded the annual
payments it received from the government. It also argued
that the initial vision of generating enough revenue from
medical tourism to pay for the upgrades the government de-
manded was “unrealizable.”
“The construction milestones could not be achieved with
the financial model which existed prior to Steward taking
over,” a Steward spokesman said in a statement.
Steward officials declined repeated requests for inter-
views, referring questions to a crisis management firm head-
ed by a former spokesperson for the British prime minister
David Cameron, who provided a series of statements to the
Globe in response to questions.
While negotiations dragged on, Steward operated the
hospitals and collected government funds. Between 2018
and 2021 alone, Steward received at least €215 million and
succeeded in procuring at least two loans amounting to
€28,150,000 from local Maltese banks, according to audits.
In addition, between 2016 and 2021, the government
shelled out an additional €188.5 million in direct salaries to
health care workers made available at the hospitals. During
that time, Steward failed to pay €36.8 million in value added
taxes, a consumption tax assessed on the value added in each
production stage of a good or service, which it would eventu-
ally challenge in court. It also repeatedly sought and re-
ceived permission to delay a promised €9 million perfor-
mance bond that it would forfeit if it failed to deliver on its
commitments, according to government audits.
In the fall of 2019, Steward and the Maltese government
were close to an agreement that would have allowed Steward
to enter into a sale-leaseback deal with Medical Properties
Trust, the Alabama-based REIT that has funded much of
Steward’s US expansion. But then, Malta’s prime minister
and the two Cabinet members who engineered the original
deal resigned amid a mushrooming corruption scandal. The
new Cabinet never finalized the MPT plan.
Steward has claimed the enterprise was not profitable. In
financial statements, Steward Malta reported losses in two
of three years reviewed by the auditor of €6.4 million in
2018 and €803,000 in 2019, before turning a net profit of €6
million in 2020. But Malta’s minister of health, “expressed
skepticism” given the amount of money paid directly to
Steward to cover expenses (at least €214 million between
2018 and 2021 alone, plus a large portion of the €188.5 mil-
lion in salaries paid directly to workers, according to the au-
dits) — and “the lack of investment being made” by Steward,
the auditor noted.
In the October appeals court decision, the judges said it
was suspicious that Steward agreed to take over the conces-
sion without performing adequate due diligence on the cost
to run it but added “this court, however, believes that the
new shareholders entered into the deal in good faith.”
They added that Steward “repeatedly failed to reach mile-
stones” despite the fact that the government granted them
numerous extensions.
Arbitration proceedings are currently underway before
the International Chamber of Commerce, with both Steward
and the government of Malta claiming the other side owes
them money.
Meanwhile, Steward International appears to be going
strong. In 2020, the entity that launched the Malta operation
moved its headquarters to Madrid, and was reincorporated
as a new joint venture, 49 percent owned by Medical Proper-
ties Trust, which paid Steward $205 million for its stake, and
51 percent by Ralph de la Torre, CEO of Steward Healthcare,
and other members of his management team.

By Megan Specia
NEW YORK TIMES
LONDON — The morning af-
ter Britain finally got some an-
swers about what had kept Cath-
erine, Princess of Wales, away
from public view — that she is
receiving treatment for cancer —
the handful of news cameras set
up Saturday outside Kensington
Palace were the only suggestion
that anything was amiss.
The sun shone as Londoners
went out for their morning runs
in the surrounding park, chil-
dren biked under budding trees,
and tourists waited for the pal-
ace, where Kate and her family
live, to open the doors of its pub-
lic areas to visitors.
As news of her illness filtered
out after weeks of speculation
and suspicion, many expressed
shock and concern for a well-
liked member of the British roy-
al family who is in line to one
day be queen. Many also seemed
to want to throw a protective
arm around a woman whose ev-
ery move has been scrutinized in
her marriage to Prince William.
“I just hope for the best for
her,” said Helen Mercer, 68, who
was reading a book on a bench
near the palace.
Mercer, who was born in
Canada but lives in London, said
she had grown up with admira-

ents are British, and she said
that while her daughter had told

her it was not “cool” to be a roy-

House of Windsor.
“They’ve always just sort of
been there,” she said, but added
that she felt the wild speculation

about Kate had been sickening.
“I do wonder what all those peo-
ple that hopped on that band-
The Castle at Park Plaza wagon are feeling now,” she said.
The palace had urged the
public and the news media to re-
spect Kate’s privacy as she recov-
ered from a major abdominal
Sellouts Expected, Plan Your Visit Today: surgery in January. But as the
days drew into weeks, the rumor
TheAuschwitzExhibition.com mill swirled — with conspiracy
theories growing deeper and
wilder — about what was keep-
ing such a prominent member of
An Exhibition By: Presented By: Local Media Partners: the royal family out of view.
In a video statement Friday,
Kate, 42, announced that she
had been diagnosed with cancer,
apart from Diana, who was ulti-
mately a victim of the media cur-
rents that swirled around her.
Although Kate did not an-
swer key questions about her ill-
ness — What form of cancer?
How far has it spread? How long
will she be treated with chemo-
therapy? — the announcement
could dispel most of the conspir-
acy theories that have enveloped
her since she underwent abdom-
inal surgery in January.
Like King Charles III, who
confirmed last month that he,
too, has cancer, the policy of par-
tial disclosure seemed calculated
to satisfy a relentlessly curious
news media and public, while
preserving some measure of pri-
vacy. In Kate’s case, that seemed
particularly important, given
her three young children.
“They know they can’t con-
trol the online world,” Hunt said.
“But they will hope the media
will look hard at itself after this
and stop recycling this non-
sense. They’ll make clear to the
papers that they have an expec-
tation of privacy.”
In a briefing Friday for re-
porters who cover the royal fam-
ily, a spokesperson for Kensing-
ton Palace gave the same answer
five times to questions about the
nature and extent of Kate’s can-
cer, where and how often she
was being treated, and why she
underwent surgery.
“We will not be sharing any
further private medical informa-
tion,” the spokesperson said.
“The princess has a right to med-
ical privacy, as we all do.”
Kate’s hospitalization kicked
off a cycle of speculation that
was extraordinary even by the
standards of the royal family.
Her medical condition, where-
abouts, and relationship with
William were endlessly dissected
on social media, even making it
into the monologue of late-night
television host Stephen Colbert.
Kensington Palace, where
Kate and William have their of-
fices, struggled to manage the
crisis from the start. Its refusal
to disclose details about her con-

but did not specify the type and
said that her focus now would be
on her recovery and her family.
She is the second member of
Britain’s royal family to be diag-
nosed with cancer in recent
weeks. Buckingham Palace an-
nounced in February that her fa-
ther-in-law, King Charles III,
was being treated for cancer.
“Your heart goes out to Wil-
liam,” Mercer said Saturday.
“With his father and his wife
both being diagnosed with can-
cer, it’s just so hard.”
On Friday evening, others la-
mented the spotlight Kate had
fallen under in recent weeks.
“She is still just a human,”
Aaron Viera, 33, a lifelong Lon-
doner, said as he shared a drink
with friends outside the Goat
Tavern, steps from Kensington
Palace. “It’s just really sad that
she has to go through this.”
That speculation drew atten-
tion even in places where talk of
the British royal family is not the
norm. Christiane Lehmanh, 33,
who was feeding the ducks at the
pond in front of Kensington Pal-
ace with a friend Saturday, said
that even in Germany, where she
is from, the princess’s health had
been big news.
“I was devastated to hear that
she was sick, and I wish her
well,” Lehmanh said, adding
that for anyone so young to bat-
tle a serious illness is terrible.
Concern for Kate’s well-being
was the overwhelming senti-
ment as the news filtered out in
MARCH 24, 2024
dition when she entered the hos-
pital created an information vac-
uum that an online army quickly
filled with increasingly outland-
ish theories.
When the palace distributed
the photograph of Kate, accom-
panied by George, Charlotte,
and Louis, it was meant to serve
as a kind of proof-of-life image.
But the plan backfired after the
Associated Press, Reuters, and
other news agencies found evi-
dence that the image had been
manipulated.
Far from quelling the specu-
lation, it ignited more rumors,
leaving the palace unsettled and
stung. At that point, people with
knowledge of the process said,
Kate decided to post on her so-
cial media account that she had
been responsible for editing the
photograph, although it was tak-
en by William.
The chaos deepened last
week, after a video surfaced of
Kate and William leaving a food
shop near their home in Wind-
sor. Although these people insist-
ed that the palace did not orches-
trate the sighting, officials did
not push back on the newspapers
that published the images, which
was out of character for William,
who has pressured papers not to
run paparazzi-type photos.
That the couple would have
to disclose Kate’s cancer was
never in question, according to
one of the people, who advised
the palace in recent days and
spoke on the condition of ano-
nymity for privacy reasons. Alle-
gations last week that staff mem-
bers at the London Clinic, where
Kate was treated, had tried to
gain access to her private medi-
cal records were a reminder that
it would be nearly impossible to
keep that kind of information
under wraps indefinitely.
The question was when and
how. The couple chose Friday be-
cause it was the day their chil-
dren began their school holiday,
which meant they would not
have to face questions on the
playground about their mother’s
illness.

alerts on smartphones, in clips
of the video on social media, and
by word of mouth.
In her announcement Friday,
Kate also expressed empathy for
those whose lives have been af-
fected by cancer.
“For everyone facing this dis-
ease, in whatever form, please
do not lose faith or hope,” she
said in the video address. “You
are not alone.”
Her candor in her remarks
about her diagnosis had made
her more relatable, many said.
“Everyone knows someone who’s
gone through this or has some-
one in their family who has had
cancer,” Mercer said. “So, yes, I
think people can understand.”
Cancer specialists in Britain
as well as charities that support
people diagnosed with cancer
and their families expressed
their support for Kate and re-
minded the public that her expe-
rience with the disease was one
that played out every day in fam-
ilies across the country.
The Macmillan Cancer Sup-
port charity said on social media
that it was “sending our best
wishes to Her Royal Highness
the Princess of Wales.”
“We hear from people all over
the country, every day going
through the experience the Prin-
cess has described, and our
thoughts are also with His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales
and their children,” the charity
said. “Many families will be
sending solidarity to them.”

Taylor Swift fans waited for the doors to open for an Eras Tour concert in Rio in November.
‘Taylor Swift effect’: Stifling
Brazil aims to supply water
Concert death in
heat wave brings
calls for action
By Eleonore Hughes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil-
ian climatologist Núbia Beray
Armond for years had been
sounding the alarm about Rio de
Janeiro’s need for an extreme
heat plan, including water distri-
bution. Interest was tepid until a
disastrous Taylor Swift concert
— and now her phone won’t stop
ringing.
A stifling heat wave blanket-
ed southeast Brazil the day of
Swift’s concert last November,
just before the start of summer
in the Southern Hemisphere.
Tens of thousands of “Swifties”
lined up for hours under a swel-
tering sun, some huddling be-
neath umbrellas. Once inside, a
group of parched fans managed
to get Swift’s attention; she
paused her performance to ask
staff to provide them with water.
Not everyone was so lucky.
Ana Clara Benevides, 23, suf-
fered heat exposure that caused
cardiorespiratory arrest during
the concert, and she died.
Her death sparked outrage.
Many accused organizers of fail-
ing to deliver sufficient water for
concertgoers. Brazil’s justice
minister said the death was un-
acceptable, and his ministry is-
sued a regulation obliging orga-
nizers of big events during heat
waves to guarantee water for at-
tendees.
Others were galvanized to en-
shrine water access into law, a
sign Brazilian authorities have
begun considering it a public
health issue in an ever-hotter
world.
Rio is in the vanguard. Of the
almost 100 bills now working
their way through municipal, as
well as state and federal legisla-
tures, about a third are in Rio
state, including the capital, ac-
cording to an analysis by the
consulting firm Governmental
Radar, which dubbed it “the Tay-
lor Swift effect.” Many of the bills
are named after Benevides.

“Beyond a shadow of a doubt,
Benevides’s death was a turning

sity of Rio de Janeiro’s GeoClima

Brazil’s summer has been

During heat waves, those un-
able to afford round-the-clock

Many people in favelas — ur-

The largest of them, Waters of
Rio, said it has provided water to
an additional 300,000 people
since taking over.
Daiane Nunes, who lives in
Rio’s Rocinha favela, regularly
treks uphill to a natural water
source in the forest. She and fel-
low residents fill bottles in a
small flow of water there.
“The water that comes from
our pipes is impossible to drink
because it contains a lot of chlo-
rine. Apart from buying water,
this is our only chance of getting

justice ministry asked for clarifi-
cation from Maracana’s adminis-
trators, citing obligations of the
regulation issued in the wake of
Swift’s November show.
Rio also moved to install free
water dispensers. But as summer
winds down, just one has been
established, in the wealthy Ip-
anema neighborhood — and
even it is proving less effective
than desired. A reporter visited
in the sweltering heat Wednes-

gling to use it, which requires
scanning a QR code and filling
out an online form. A man with-

While Beray Armond wel-
comed Rio’s nascent attempts to
provide water, she is waiting to
see if the recently proposed bills
are actually enacted into law.
“If you don’t have legislation
that forces public or private enti-
ties to distribute water, you’re
basically condemning your pop-
ulation to illness or death,” Beray
Armond said.

Catching ‘the third wave’ of food co-ops

Op, is also in the works — a re-
sponse to the closure of long-
time Watertown market Rus-
so’s. Founders are still search-
ing for a location in Waltham,
Watertown, or Newton, said
president Nick Quaranto, with
hopes of signing a lease in the
next year.
The re-emergence of food
co-ops — independent, mem-
ber-owned and run, communi-
ty-oriented grocery stores —
isn’t only taking place in Mas-
sachusetts. (Members make an
equity payment to join, helping
finance the venture, but mem-
bership is generally not re-
quired to shop at a food co-op.)
There’s been a surge of interest
nationally, with at least six
opening last year, said Faye
Mack, executive director of the
Food Co-Op Initiative, a non-
profit that helps communities
launch these businesses. In the
next 12 to 24 months, she ex-
pects around 18 new food co-
ops to open.
“We heard from over 70 dif-
ferent communities last year
who reached out for the first

moved forward, but that’s more
new communities exploring the
idea and finding Food Co-Op
Initiative than we’ve seen be-
fore.” North Carolina and the
Chicago area are current hubs
of co-op activity, with steady or-
ganizing in the Upper Midwest.
“When a new co-op opens, we
often start to hear from nearby
communities who are inspired
by what they see,” she said.
Interest in food co-ops, and
the cooperative model in gener-
al, is cyclical. “We see an uptick
in interest and conversation
and people exploring the mod-
el, and also the number [of co-
ops] started, after and during
economic downturns,” said Ju-
lian McKinley, co-executive di-
rec tor for par tnership and
growth at the Democracy at
Work Institute, dedicated to the
development of worker cooper-
atives. “After 2008 we saw it,
and we expected it coming as
COVID impacted businesses
and communities.”
There was a significant wave
of cooperative organizing in the
1930s, triggered by the Great
Depression. Members pooled
resources to purchase food and
other necessities, maximizing
their buying power. The Co-op
Food Stores, with four coopera-
tives in New Hampshire and
Vermont, is a legacy of that era,
launched in Hanover in 1936.
A second wave of food co-
ops arrived in the 1960s and
’70s, bastions of the countercul-
ture, fighting white-bread nu-
trition and corporate power at
the same time. This is how we
tend to think of food co-ops to-
day: “crunchy granola” stores
where largely white, affluent
customers buy organic grains
from bulk bins.
But the food co-op move-
ment looks different in 2024.

WASHINGTON — Phyllis
Jackson, a retired administra-
tive assistant in Monroeville,
Pa., signed up for home internet
service for the first time in about
two decades early last year. She
now regularly uses the internet
to pay her bills online, buy
clothes, find new recipes, and
learn about her medication.
Jackson said she signed up
for internet service after enroll-
ing in a federal program that
provided a monthly discount for
low-income households. That
program is set to run out of
funding this spring, however,
which will make it harder for
Jackson and millions of other
households to afford to stay con-
nected to the internet.
“I really can’t do without it,”
said Jackson, 79. “ T he way
things are today, everyone needs
to be able to use the computer.”

Connectivity Program provides

eligible tribal lands can receive a
discount of up to $75 a month.
More than 23 million house-
holds receive either reduced bills
or effectively free internet ser-
vice through the program.
But federal officials began
winding down the program ear-
ly last month, when they
stopped accepting new applica-
tions and enrollments. The pro-
gram was tucked into the 2021
infrastructure law as a replace-
ment for a pandemic-era pro-
gram that provided certain
households discounts on their
internet bills. Although there is
some bipartisan support to con-
tinue the subsidies, lawmakers
have not passed an extension.
Participants will continue re-
ceiving full benefits through
April, according to the Federal
Communications Commission.
In May, internet companies will
have the option to provide them
with partial discounts using the
remaining federal funding.
Based on provider claims data
as of Feb. 15, the program had
about $2.5 billion left, which is
meant to cover the subsidies and
other program expenses.
The program is part of the
Biden administration’s broader
initiative to connect every Amer-
ican to affordable, high-speed
internet, which officials hope

Many rural communities are
also losing grocery stores to
consolidation. “We see a lot of
stores closing, and dollar stores
becoming the only option,”
Mack said. A vital co-op returns
some control over food access
to its community.
“This is what some of us are
calling the third wave of food
co-op development,” said C.E.
Pugh, chief executive of Nation-
al Co+op Grocers, which has
more than 160 member food
co-ops. The focus now is on so-
cial justice, making nutritious
food available, creating jobs
within communities — with
much of the activity in low-in-
come, low-access (LILA) mar-
will stimulate economic growth
and widen access to health care
and education. The administra-
tion is spending an additional
$42.5 billion to expand access to
broadband to every corner of
the country.
The administration is funnel-
ing billions of dollars into the
expansion of internet access
largely because officials see it as
a critical way to strengthen the
economy. Across US metros,
prime-age workers who have ac-
cess to high-speed internet on
home computers participate in
the labor force at a much higher
rate than those without access,
according to research from the
Federal Reserve Bank of Phila-
delphia. Other research has
found that internet connectivity
can bolster economic growth in
rural areas, helping to create
jobs and attract workers.
Some Democratic and Re-
publican lawmakers have co-
alesced around a bill that would
provide $7 billion to fund the
program for about another year.
Senator Peter Welch, a Vermont
Democrat, who has sponsored
the bill, said that he was encour-
aged by the bipartisan support
but that it was “tough to be opti-
mistic.”
“It’s hard to get anything

kets, sometimes referred to as
food deserts.
“This third wave is about
people who live in LILA mar-
kets saying let’s do this our-
selves,” Pugh said. “The market
is not doing this for us. There’s
no store here. We have to drive
or take public transportation.”
That was the case for many
of Dorchester Food Co-op’s cus-
tomers, and its employees,
hired from the surrounding
community. “What I get a lot of
is: ‘I don’t have to go farther out
for healthy choices now,’” said
Keisha ONeal, manager of cus-
tomer service, who has lived
down the street for 11 years.
“One of my biggest things is to
said. “Anything on the budget
becomes very contentious.”
In October, Biden adminis-
tration officials sent Congress a
supplemental request for $6 bil-
lion to extend funding for the
program, which they have urged
Republicans to support. “It’s
past time for them to step up for
the American people so that we
can continue our work to close
the digital divide across Ameri-
ca,” Robyn Patterson, a White
House spokesperson, said.

FCC officials have said more
funding is “urgently needed” to
help millions of households stay
connected to high-speed inter-
net. According to a survey the
FCC conducted of program re-
cipients in December, 48 per-
cent of respondents said they
would switch to a lower-cost
plan that could be slower than
their current one, and 29 per-
cent said they would drop ser-

She said the store is impor-
tant for customers such as the
woman who had just come
from chemotherapy and was
excited to discover hard-to-find
gluten-free products, or the
families who live above and eat

“step backward” and that offi-

future of this program looks
like.”
But some Republicans have
argued that the program is
wasteful. In a December letter to
the FCC, Senator John Thune of
South Dakota and other Repub-
lican lawmakers raised concerns
about the program subsidizing
households that already had in-
ternet service. They have also
pointed to findings from the
FCC’s Office of Inspector Gener-
al, which has in recent months
expressed concerns about some
providers failing to comply with
program rules and improperly
claiming funds.
According to the FCC survey,
22% of respondents said they
did not have any internet ser-
vice, and 25% only had mobile

more, a serious concern in Dor-

is around 19 percent. When
customers complain about the
prices, ONeal reminds them it’s
about making healthy choices.
“If you’re going to put $300 on
your feet [buying sneakers],

And that $300, spent in Dor-
chester, stays in Dorchester. “If
you spend your money at the
Dorchester Food Co-op, that
money is not being extracted
from the community but being
invested in the community
through purchasing and pro-
viding local jobs,” said cofound-
er and board member Jenny
Silverman.
Although it might look as
though these new food cooper-
atives are materializing all at
once, the Maynard and Dor-
chester stores each took about a
decade of work to come to frui-
tion. Starting a co-op is “brutal
work,” Pugh said. Part business
launch, part community orga-
nizing, it requires figuring out
what product mix and pricing
will serve the members and
make the store a success.

years to figure out the feasibili-
ty, build members, find a loca-

man said. “When we started,
there wasn’t as much going on
in the co-op space, particularly
in communities like Dor-
chester,” she said. Now, there
are networks of support for
new co-ops. “We’ve been part of
peer calls the last number of
years with other co-ops at the
same stage of development.”
The Charles River Food Co-
Op — incorporated in April
2022, with hopes of opening in
the next year or so — is the ben-
eficiary of such wisdom. “We’ve
been able to learn a lot from
other co-ops about what has
slowed them down, and we’re
trying to avoid those pitfalls,”
said president Quaranto.

looking for,” said Quaranto, 36.

dents said they had both mobile

Blair Levin, a nonresident se-
nior fellow at the Brookings In-
stitution and an FCC official
during the Obama administra-
tion, said that changes to the
program would be problematic
but that lawmakers should
reach a compromise before mil-
lions of Americans are left at
risk of losing internet access.
The end of the subsidy pro-
gram could also complicate the
Biden administration’s other
$42.5 billion program to provide
every American access to broad-
band, said Drew Garner, the di-
rector of policy engagement at
the Benton Institute for Broad-
band & Socie ty. T he funds,
which will be distributed as
grants to internet providers, are
meant to cover much of the cost
of building broadband infra-
structure.
Without the subsidy pro-
gram, however, more low-in-
come households will struggle
to afford broadband service.
With fewer potential customers
in low-income areas, internet
providers will have less incen-
tive to expand service in those
neighborhoods and may ask for
bigger federal grants, Garner
said.

Inside the Republican attacks on EVs

New Biden rule
draws immediate VARTER
GOP pushback ORIENTAL
By Coral Davenport, Lisa

Friedman, and Jack Ewing
NEW YORK TIMES

The electric vehicle, a break-

through achievement in auto-
motive technology, has driven
into this year’s presidential elec-
tion, inflaming partisan fights
that have come to define much
of American culture.
One reason is that President
Biden has made electric vehicles
central to his strategy to combat
climate change. This week, his
administration announced the
most ambitious climate regula-
tion in the nation’s history: a
measure designed to accelerate a
transition toward electric vehi-
cles and away from the gasoline-
powered cars that are a major
cause of global warming.
The political war over electric
vehicles has been fueled by an
incendiary mix of issues: techno-
logical change, the future of the
oil and gas industry, concerns
about competition from China,
and the American love of motor-
ized muscle. And in the rural
reaches of America, where few
public charging stations exist,
the notion of an all-electric fu-
ture feels fanciful — another ele-
ment to the urban-rural divide
that underlies the nation’s polar-
ization.
Biden’s opponent, former
president Donald Trump, has for
months escalated attacks on
electric vehicles broadly and the
new regulation in particular,
falsely calling the rule a ban on
gasoline-powered cars and
claiming electric cars will “kill”
‘When you get into the question of what
you drive, how you drive, how reliable
it is, and what it signifies about
your identity — that’s where the

Biden administration “ordered a
An electric vehicle charging station in London, Ohio, pictured in December.
Especially potent is the false
claim that the new rule is a “ban”
on conventional cars, analysts
said.
The EPA regulation is not a
ban. Rather, it requires carmak-
ers to meet tough new average
emissions limits across their en-
tire product line, starting in
model year 2027 and ramping
up through 2032. Automakers
could comply with the emissions
caps by selling a mix of gasoline-
burning cars, hybrids, EVs, or
other types of vehicles, such as
cars powered by hydrogen.
The EPA estimates that com-
pliance with the rule would
mean that by 2032, about 56
percent of new passenger vehi-
cles sold would be electric and
another 16 perent would be hy-
brids. Car companies that ex-
ceed the new restrictions could
face substantial penalties. The
new standards would not apply
calls, and text messages against
what it calls “Biden’s EPA car
ban” in the swing states of Penn-
sylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Nevada, and Arizona, as well as
i n O h i o , Mo n t a n a , a n d t h e
Washington, D.C., market.
Also fighting the rule are
more than 4,000 of the country’s
18,000 car dealerships, which
wrote to Biden urging him to
“tap the brakes” on the rule. Au-
to dealers — business owners
rooted in communities who di-
rectly interact with motorists as
they choose what to drive —
could be particularly persuasive
to voters, analysts said.
“It’s really surprising that it

throats,” said Duane Wilkes,
chief financial officer of the
Berge Auto Group in Arizona,
which owns six dealerships in
Phoenix and Tucson that sell ve-
hicles made by Toyota, Lexus,
Ford, Volkswagen, and Mazda.
“ What we sell isn’t deter-
mined by us, it’s determined by
the customer, what they really
want to buy,” Wilkes said. “And
the EVs are just sitting on the
lots.”
And yet, electric vehicles are
the fastest-growing segment of
the auto industry. Sales of elec-
tric vehicles, trucks, and SUVs
hit a record last year, reaching
1.2 million for the first time,

Within minutes of this week’s
announcement of the new rule,
similar talking points — albeit
not as violent — flooded the Re-
publican ecosystem.
“The Biden administration is
deciding for Americans which
kind of cars they are allowed to
buy, rent, and drive,” said Sena-
tor Shelley Moore Capito of West
Virginia, the ranking Republi-
can on the Senate Environment
Committee, in remarks that
were echoed across the Capitol
and on Fox News. A Fox News
headline falsely claimed “Biden
mandates production of electric
vehicles.”
In many ways, Biden’s new
rules on auto pollution combine
elements that conservatives love
to hate: government regulations
and the notion that Democrats
want to force Americans to give
up comforts in the name of the
environment.
Over the years, Trump has
sharpened Republican opposi-
tion to environmental rules by
attacking everything from non-
aerosol hair spray to low-flow
toilets. He has bashed energy-ef-
ficient dishwashers and LED
light bulbs, and falsely claimed
that wind turbines cause cancer.
In pitching his EV policies to
Americans, Biden has sought to
present himself as a “car guy,”
talking about his upbringing as
the son of a car dealer and test
driving a Ford F-150 electric
pickup truck to pronounce “This
sucker’s quick!” He was the first
president to join autoworkers on
the picket line.
Still, policy analysts say that
Trump’s attacks on the govern-
ment’s efforts to clean up cars
are likely to resonate with vot-
ers.
“When you get into personal
vehicles, you’re touching a huge
portion of the United States,”
said Barry Rabe, a professor of
public policy at the University of
Michigan. “ The majority of
Americans have little or no fa-
miliarity with EVs. When you
get into the question of what you
drive, how you drive, how reli-
largest single source of carbon
emissions generated by the Unit-
ed States, pollution that is driv-
ing climate change and that
helped to make 2023 the hottest
year in recorded history.
The new limits on tailpipe
emissions would avoid more
than 7 billion tons of carbon di-
oxide emissions over the next 30
years, according to the EPA.
That’s the equivalent of remov-
ing a year ’s worth of all the
greenhouse gases generated by
the United States, the country
that has historically pumped the
most carbon dioxide into the at-
mosphere.
It would also provide nearly
$100 billion in annual net bene-
fits to society, according to the
agency, including $13 billion an-
nually in public health benefits
like avoided hospitalizations and
fewer premature deaths thanks
to improved air quality.
And it would save the average
American driver about $6,000 in
reduced fuel and maintenance
over the life of a vehicle, the EPA
estimated.
The country’s major car com-
panies have grudgingly accepted
the new regulations, after win-
ning some concessions from the
administration, in the form of a
more gradual compliance sched-
ule that pushes back the most
stringent requirements until af-
ter 2030.
“The future is electric,” said
John Bozzella, president of the
Alliance for Automotive Innova-
tion, which represents 42 car
companies that produce nearly
all the new vehicles sold in the
United States, in a statement
this week. He said the rules “are
mindful of the importance of
choice to drivers and preserve
their ability to choose the vehicle
that’s right for them.”
But other industries that will
be affected by the rule have
launched attacks — particularly
oil and gas companies that see
the rise of electric vehicles as an
existential threat.

is slowing, this year is expected
to set another record, analysts
have said.
But the boom is not happen-
ing everywhere. In California,
which leads the nation in terms
of the number of charging sta-
tions, 40 percent of new cars reg-
istered in San Jose last year were
electric. But in Detroit, the coun-
try’s automobile capital, they ac-
counted for only 3 percent and
even less in Buffalo and Bis-
mark, N.D.
Michael McKenna, a Republi-
can strategist and energy lobby-
ist who worked in the Trump
White House, said Republican
polling has found attacking elec-
tric vehicle mandates to be an
“amazing” issue for the party. He
called Biden’s regulation a

Biden OK’s $1.2 trillion in spending, avoiding shutdown
WILMINGTON, Del. — Presi-
dent Biden on Saturday signed a
$1.2 trillion package of spend-
ing bills after
POLITICAL Congress had
NOTEBOOK passed the long
overdue legisla-
tion just hours earlier, ending
the threat of a partial govern-
ment shutdown.
“This agreement represents a
compromise, which means nei-
ther side got everything it want-
ed,” Biden said in a statement.
“But it rejects extreme cuts from
House Republicans and expands
access to child care, invests in
cancer research, funds mental
health and substance use care,
advances American leadership
abroad, and provides resources
to secure the border. ... That’s
good news for the American
people.”
It took lawmakers six months
into the current budget year to
get near the finish line on gov-
ernment funding, the process
slowed by conservatives who
pushed for more policy man-
dates and steeper spending cuts
than a Democratic-led Senate or
White House would consider.
The impasse required several
short-term spending bills to
keep agencies funded.
The White House said Biden
signed the legislation at his
home in Wilmington, Del.,
where he was spending the
weekend. It had cleared the Sen-
ate by a 74-24 vote shortly after
funding had expired for the
agencies at midnight.
But the White House had
sent out a notice shortly after
the deadline announcing that
the Office of Management and
Budget had ceased shutdown
preparations because there was
a high degree of confidence that
Congress would pass the legisla-
tion and the Democratic presi-
Republicans who do
not watch Fox less
likely to back Trump
Switching media
network affects
views, poll shows
By Ruth Igielnik
NEW YORK TIMES
Republicans who get their
news from nonconservative
mainstream media outlets are
less likely to support Donald
Trump than those who follow
conservative outlets. And sizable
numbers from the first group say
they think Trump acted crimi-
nally, according to a recent New
York Times/Siena College poll.
This division could affect his
standing among Republicans in
the general electorate — a decid-
edly different group from GOP
primary voters. That is in line
with research that shows chang-
ing the media habits of Fox
News consumers may actually
change their views.
In our poll, 100 percent of the
Republicans who said they got
their news from Fox News or oth-
er conservative sources said they
intended to support Trump in
the general election. This stands
in contrast to Republicans whose
main media sources are outlets
such as CNN and major news or-
ganizations: 79 percent of them
plan to vote for Trump, and 13
percent said they planned to vote
for President Biden.
And across many measures,
mainstream media Republicans
are less supportive of Trump.
They are 20 percentage points
less likely than conservative me-
dia Republicans to say they are
enthusiastic about Trump as the
party’s nominee and more than
30 percentage points less likely
to say Trump’s policies have
helped them personally.
Despite the perception that
most Republicans watch Fox
News, the share of Republicans
who said they got their news
from sources such as CNN and
major newspapers was similar to
the share who said they primari-
ly consumed conservative media
— roughly 30 percent in each
case.
These Republicans differ
from consumers of conservative
media primarily in terms of their
ideology: They were much more

dent would sign it Saturday.
The first package of full-year
spending bills, which funded the
departments of Veterans Affairs,
Agriculture, and the Interior,
among others, cleared Congress
two weeks ago with just hours to
spare before funding expired for
those agencies. The second cov-
ered the departments of De-
fense, Homeland Security, and
State, as well as other aspects of
general government.
When combining the two
packages, discretionary spend-
ing for the budget year will
come to about $1.66 trillion.
That does not include programs
likely to describe themselves as
politically moderate. Nikki Ha-
ley had about 30 percent sup-
port among these Republicans
and 4 percent among conserva-
tive media consumers (the poll
was taken before Haley dropped
out of the race).
Researchers have long pon-
dered a kind of chicken-and-egg
question with conservatism and
conservative media: Does watch-
ing more conservative media
change your views, or are you
more attracted to it because of
your views? Two political scien-
tists, David Broockman at the
University of California, Berke-
ley, and Joshua Kalla at Yale Uni-
versity, conducted an experiment
trying to answer that question.
“We know from our other re-
search that many Fox News
viewers are in an echo chamber
and are quite conservative,”
Broockman said. “There’s a lot of
skepticism that strong partisans
could not be persuaded, and we
wanted to challenge that as-
sumption.”
In their experiment, they ran-
domly assigned Fox News view-
ers to watch CNN for a month,
comparing their political views
after they switched to the net-
work with Fox viewers who did
not make the switch. The result?
Getting conservative news view-
ers to watch mainstream news
caused many of the participants
to shift away from hard-right
views on issues such as immigra-

tion and race relations. And they
found changes in how partici-
pants evaluated Trump.
“It was amazing to see that
the study participants learned
new facts about the world from
watching CNN,” Kalla said.
“These are people who don’t
trust CNN; they think it’s propa-
ganda and fiction.

such as Social Security and

try’s rising debt.
On Ukraine aid, which Biden
and his administration have ar-
gued was critical and necessary
to help stop Russia’s invasion,
the package provided $300 mil-
lion under the defense spending
umbrella. That funding is sepa-
rate from a large assistance
package for Ukraine and Israel

Hill.

again pressed Congress to pass
additional aid.

suggests that they’re more open to
persuasion and hearing the other
side than we might assume.”
Participants did not just
move toward moderate views on
issues such as immigration; they
also started to question their
trust in Fox News itself. At the
end of the study, respondents
were less likely to agree with the
statement: “If Donald Trump did
something bad, Fox News would
discuss it.”
Experiments like this have lit-
tle real-world application, but
they do reinforce the notion that
conservative news viewers see
the current political landscape
through a different lens.
This extends to how Republi-
cans are thinking about the
criminal charges their party’s
nominee faces. Republicans who
consume nonconservative main-
stream media were more likely
to say that the charges against

Congress must pass the biparti-
san border security agreement
— the toughest and fairest re-
forms in decades — to ensure we
have the policies and funding
needed to secure the border. It’s
time to get this done.”
A bipartisan border package
collapsed last month when Re-
publicans senators scuttled
months of negotiations with
Democrats on legislation intend-
ed to cut back record numbers
of illegal border crossings.
To win over support from Re-
Trump were legitimate, that
Trump knowingly made false
claims about the election being
stolen, and that he should be
found guilty in the election in-
terference trial in Washington,
according to a December survey.
And in the recent survey, the
gap between the two types of Re-
publicans persists. Republicans
who watch mainstream media
are more than three times as
likely to say Trump acted crimi-
nally as those who consume con-
servative media. And the share
of mainstream media Republi-
cans saying this has grown over
the last two years, reaching a
peak of 43 percent in December.
It is now down to 34 percent.
“I do think that concealing
private documents with perhaps
the intent to disseminate them is
to an extent treason,” said Briana
Dunbar, 20, a political science
student at Ohio State who says
she is considering supporting
Trump in the fall. “If he is found
guilty, I will not vote for him.
“But I’m not the judge, and
it’s not up to me,” added Dunbar,
who said she gets most of her
news from ABC News or her po-
litical science classes. “Once the
ruling comes down, I will trust
what they say. If he’s not guilty,
publicans, House Speaker Mike
Johnson, Republican of Louisi-
ana, pointed to some of the
spending increases secured for
about 8,000 more detention
beds for migrants awaiting their
immigration proceedings or re-
moval from the country. That’s
about a 24 percent increase
from current levels. Also, GOP
leadership highlighted more
money to hire about 2,000 Bor-
der Patrol agents.
Democrats are boasting of a
$1 billion increase for Head
Start programs and new child
care centers for military fami-
lies. They also played up a $120
million increase in funding for
cancer research and a $100 mil-
lion increase for Alzheimer’s re-
search.
The spending package large-
ly tracks with an agreement that
then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy of
California worked out with the
White House in May 2023,
which restricted spending for
two years and suspended the
debt ceiling into January 2025
so the federal government could
continue paying its bills.

PHOENIX — The room sits

proof.

of protection is somewhat sur-
prising: tabulating machines

While a notable share of
these mainstream media Repub-
licans say they do not plan to
back Trump, many could ulti-
mately decide to vote for him in
November. In 2016, after the in-
famous “Access Hollywood”
tape, in which Trump was re-
corded boasting about groping
women, many in the party con-
sidered deserting him. Even
most of those voters found a way
back to their party’s nominee.
Among conservative media
Republicans, the share who said
Trump did not commit crimes
has remained largely un-
changed.
Nateasha Friesen, 56, of Fres-
no, Calif., is an avid consumer of
news from places such as News-
max and The Epoch Times, news
outlets that she says are “not the

and instead allowing me to make
an educated decision for myself.”
“I triangulate the information

ment toward election workers.
“What would be even more
of a shame is if we couldn’t look
the workers in the eye and say
we’re doing everything possible
to make sure that you’re safe,” he
said.
Richer’s job is to oversee vot-
er registration and early voting,
but much of his time has been
diverted to preparing for disin-
formation and its consequences.
The state’s razor-thin presiden-
tial outcome in 2020 made it a
national epicenter for conspira-
cy theories about voter fraud
and phony results.
The false claims promoted by
prominent Republican candi-
dates have driven protesters to
rally outside vote-counting cen-
ters and to patrol drop boxes.
They have led to death threats
against election workers and
their families and prompted top
election officials to quit.
Election meddlers have also
attempted to hack the state’s
electronic systems, Secretary of
State Adrian Fontes said.
The challenges come as un-
derstaffed and underfunded
election offices nationwide are
dealing with persistent misin-
formation and harassment of
election workers, artificial intel-
ligence deepfakes, potential cy-
berattacks from foreign govern-
ments, and criminal ransom-
ware attacks.
With looming elections this
fall, Republican Richer and
Democrat Fontes are taking
more aggressive steps than ever
to rebuild trust with voters,
knock down disinformation, and

enough to counter an onslaught

About 10 percent of indepen-

A much smaller group of Re-

percent — primarily got news
from social media. This group
supported Trump at a rate as
high as those consuming conser-
vative media, but they were
more inclined to agree with
mainstream media Republicans
that Trump committed crimes.
Still, this group saw charges as
primarily politically motivated.
But these social media Re-

W.Va. teachers OK’d
to answer questions
about origin of life
New law opens
door to religion,
critics contend
By Leah Willingham
ASSOCIATED PRESS
C H A R L E S T O N, W. Va . —
West Virginia Republican Gov-
ernor Jim Justice signed a law
Friday that supporters say pro-
motes the free exchange of
ideas in science classrooms, de-
spite objections from oppo-
nents who said the vaguely
worded measure could allow
for the incursion of religion in-
to public schools.
The legislation allows public
school teachers to answer stu-
dent questions "about scientific
theories of how the universe
and/or life came to exist.”
It was proposed after Re-
publican Senate Education
C h a i r A my G r a d y, a p u b l i c
school teacher, said fellow edu-
cators have told her they don’t
feel comfortable answering
questions about theories out-
side evolution because they
don't know if doing so is per-
missible.
Speaking to the bill on the
Senate floor in January, Grady
said the bill is meant to clarify
how teachers can approach
these situations.
“This says, ‘If a student asks
you questions about a theory
that they ’ve read about or
they’ve heard about — maybe
it’s not a popular theory, but a
theory — you can discuss it,’"
she said.
She said the bill is “encour-
aging our students to think, en-
couraging our students to ask
questions, encouraging our
teachers to be able to answer
them.”
What is unclear is what
kinds of teaching would be pro-
tected by the bill, which does
not define what a “scientific
theory” is.
Grady proposed a bill last
year that would have specifical-
ly allowed intelligent design to
be taught in public school set-
tings. This year’s bill contained
similar language when it was
first proposed. It was reworked
early in the legislative session
to remove any direct mention
of intelligent design before
even being put in front of law-
makers.
After the bill was altered,
two high school students speak-
ing in support of the bill in
front of Grady’s committee said
they wanted it passed so educa-
tors could have the option of of-
fering teaching on intelligent
design in addition to evolution-
ary theory — not as a require-
ment or a replacement for it.
Teaching about intelligent
design in public schools has
been controversial for decades.
Is Texas Governor Abbott’s boundary-pushing on the border working?
By J. David Goodman
and Edgar Sandoval
NEW YORK TIMES
EAGLE PASS, Texas — For
many months, the small border
city of Eagle Pass, Texas, has pro-
vided the backdrop for a bitter
legal battle between Governor
Greg Abbott and the Biden ad-
ministration over how best to
handle record numbers of mi-
grants arriving at the border.
The court fights, which intensi-
fied this past week, have cen-
tered on claims that the border
is in crisis.
But recently, the opposite has
been happening along the Rio
Grande as it c ur ves its way
through Eagle Pass: In an area
that last year was the epicenter
of unauthorized migration along
the southern border, far fewer
migrants have been crossing.
Abbott has cited the slow-
down as evidence that his ag-
gressive attempt to push the
boundaries of immigration law
and his $10 billion program to
harden the state’s border with
Mexico — using National Guard
troops, razor wire, helicopters,
boats, and floating buoys in
the Rio Grande — has been
working.
“The cartels have rerouted
their routes to cross the border
because Texas is the only state
that’s putting up any resistance,”
Abbott said during a news con-
Proponents of intelligent de-
sign contend that many fea-
tures of life and the universe
are too complex to have evolved
from natural selection and
must have been created by an
intelligent designer. That de-
signer could be, but does not
have to be, identified as God.
They also claim that intelligent
design is a scientific theory.
Others have argued that in-
telligent design is just creation-
ism in a new package. A federal
court in Pennsylvania ruled in
2005 that a public school could
not require the teaching of the
concept because intelligent de-
sign “is not science” and that it
“cannot uncouple itself from its
creationist, and thus religious,
antecedents.”
Hurricane High School ju-
niors Hayden Hodge and Hunt-
er Bernard, both 16, said they
are both religious but that in-
telligent design is not a reli-
gious argument and does not
mention anything about God.
“I am not advocating for bib-
lical creationism, or Adam and
Eve, or the Muslim and Jewish
narrative. This is not a biblical
narrative,” Hodge said, adding
later: “Why not allow teachers
t o o ff e r s t u d e n t s m u l t i p l e
views? Students deserve to hear
multiple theories and then fol-
low which is more reasonable.”
The National Center for Sci-
ence Education said in a state-
ment that the legislation is
“threatening the integrity of
science education in the state’s
public schools.”
Aubrey Sparks, legal direc-
tor of the American Civil Liber-
ties Union of West Virginia,
said the organization would be
watching the law’s implementa-
tion closely.
If the wording of the legisla-
tion is ambiguous to her, she
said, it’s going to be ambiguous
for teachers, students, and par-
ents, too.
Staff is in the process of cre-
ating a portal for families to re-
port concerns if they do see in-
stances of religious teaching in
public schools, Sparks said.
“They pass things like this to
try and institutionalize the
place of religion in public
schools,” she said. “If the y
wanted to keep religion and
public schools separate, then
they wouldn’t pass laws like
this one.”
When the bill passed the
Senate in January, Democratic
Senator Mike Woelfel said he
has no problem with anyone’s
religious beliefs and that as a
Catholic, he thinks God created
life. But he said he doesn’ t
think that’s something that
should be taught in public
schools and expressed concern
that the legislation could be
used as a backdoor approach to
do so.
Members of the National Guard installed temporary fencing
topped with razor wire near Eagle Pass, Texas, last week.
ference in Eagle Pass last month,
flanked by more than a dozen
Republican governors.
If the federal government did
what Texas is doing, Abbott add-
ed, “you would eliminate illegal
immigration overnight.”
But exactly what dynamics
are at work in the shifting bor-
der numbers are still a matter of
debate.
Federal officials have said
that changes in the handling of
migrants by the Mexican govern-
ment were responsible for a
sharp drop-off in arrivals all
along the border after record
highs in December. Immigration
experts said crossings often de-
cline in colder months only to re-
bound in the spring.

Harris tours Parkland massacre site
Announces new
funding for state
‘red flag laws’
By Terry Spencer
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PAR K L AN D, F l a . — V i c e
President Kamala Harris toured
on Saturday the bloodstained
classroom building where the
2018 Parkland high school mas-
sacre happened, then an-
nounced a program to assist
states that have laws allowing
police to temporarily seize guns
from people judges have found
to be dangerous.
Harris saw bullet-pocked
walls and floors still covered in
dried blood and broken glass left
behind from the Feb. 14, 2018,
attack at Marjory Stoneman
Douglas High School that killed
14 students and three staff
members and wounded 17.

side the three-story structure re-
main strewn with shoes left be-
hind by fleeing students and
wilted Valentine’s Day flowers
and balloons. Textbooks, laptop
computers, snacks, and papers
remain on desks. She was told
about each victim who died.
“Frozen in time,” Harris said
repeatedly about what she saw.
She was accompanied on the
tour by victims’ family members,
some of them pushing for more
spending on school safety and
others for stronger gun laws.
Harris, who leads the new
White House Office of Gun Vio-
lence Prevention, said there are
CHENEY ORR/NEW YORK TIMES
But what is clear is that fewer
have been coming by way of Tex-
as.
The latest publicly available
federal data on border encoun-
ters, released Friday, has shown
a measurable shift to the west in
recent months, away from Texas
— which makes up 1,254 miles
of the nearly 2,000-mile south-
ern border — and into New Mex-
ico, Arizona, and California.
In February, Border Patrol
agents recorded about 87,000
encounters with migrants in Cal-
ifornia and Arizona, versus
53,000 in Texas. Last year, the
numbers were essentially re-
versed: around 55,000 encoun-
ters took place outside Texas ver-
sus 76,000 recorded in the state.

lessons to be learned from Park-
land, both for stopping school
shootings before they happen
and mitigating them with mea-
sures such as making sure class-
room doors don’t lock from the
outside as they did at Stoneman
Douglas. She pointed out that
shootings are a leading cause of
death for children and teenagers.
“We must be willing to have
the courage to say that on every
level, whether you talk about
changing laws or changing prac-
tices and protocols, that we must
do better,” Harris said.
At Stoneman Douglas, for-
mer student Nikolas Cruz, then
19, fired about 140 shots from
his AR-15-style semiautomatic
rifle during his six-minute at-
tack.
He pleaded guilty in 2021. He
was sentenced to life in prison in
2022 after his jury couldn’ t
unanimously agree he deserved
a death sentence.
The building was preserved
so his jury could tour it. It has
loomed over the 3,600-student
school from behind a temporary
fence since the school reopened
two weeks after the shooting. It
is scheduled to be demolished
this summer.
Following Harris’ tour, she
announced a $750 million grant
program to provide technical as-
sistance and training to Florida
and the other 20 states that have
similar “red flag laws.”
Florida’s law allows police of-
ficers, with a judge’s permission,
to temporarily seize guns be-
longing to anyone shown to be a
danger to others or themselves.
( The overall crossings were
slightly higher last month.)
“There are a few reasons, and
Texas’ policies are one of them,”
said Adam Isacson, who focuses
on borders and migration at the
Washington Office on Latin
America. He said more than any-
thing else, it appeared to be fear
of the uncertain legal landscape
— particularly Texas’ looming
migrant arrest law known as
Senate Bill 4, which passed in
December — that has caused
many migrants to avoid the
state.
“People aren’t worried about
buoys and barbed wire,” he add-
ed. “The fear of the unknown
with SB 4 is driving people to
choose to avoid Texas.”
The law was put on hold this
past week by a federal appeals
court amid a challenge to its
constitutionality by the Biden
administration. The postpone-
ment has persuaded at least
some migrants to tr y to get
across before it goes into effect.
Richi Silva, 32, a native of
Venezuela, who secured an im-
migration appointment with
federal agents in Brownsville,
Texas, said he had seen hun-
dreds of migrants on the other
side of the border, waiting to
cross.
Still, the westward shift of
migrants has been evident in
one of Abbott’s most politically
The statute has been used more
than 12,000 times since it was
enacted six years ago in response
to the Parkland shooting.
Harris also called on both
Congress and states without red
flag laws to adopt them. The
Biden administration has called
for a national red flag law.
Cruz had a long history of
troubling and bizarre behavior
before the shooting, including
animal torture. In the weeks be-
fore the shooting, he had been
reported to local law enforce-
ment and the FBI by people fear-
ing he was planning a mass
shooting, but no action was tak-
en. He legally purchased 10 guns
in the 17 months between his
18th birthday and the massacre.
Senator Rick Scott, a Repub-
lican who signed Florida’s red
flag law as governor, issued a
statement Saturday calling the
Biden administration’s proposed
national red flag law “radical,”
saying it would be modeled on
California’s statute and strip gun
owners of their rights. Califor-
nia’s law is broader than Flori-
da’s as it allows family members,
employers, and others to initiate
the process, but the removal also
has to be approved by a judge.
Harris’ tour was the latest by
elected officials and law enforce-
ment and education leaders in
recent months. Education Secre-
tary Miguel Cardona toured it in

Since January, the number of
buses has sharply declined.
Nearly all the buses are now
traveling from El Paso, where a
large federal processing center
handles migrants who cross into
New Mexico, as well as into Tex-
as. Very few are leaving from for-
mer migration hot spots in Texas
such as McAllen, Brownsville,
and Eagle Pass.
“They’re being apprehended

changes in the handling and de-

by US authorities.

Still at Harvard, Summers speaks his mind
uSUMMERS
Continued from Page A1
Summers was among the
first to publicly attack Harvard
for its silence after the Oct. 7 at-
tacks on Israel, posting on X, “In
nearly 50 years of @Harvard af-
filiation, I have never been as
disillusioned and alienated as I
am today.”
He was at the forefront of a
s tampede of criticism that
prompted Harvard’s first Black
president, Claudine Gay, to re-
sign in January. Then, he swiftly
panned her successor’s pick to
help lead a task force on anti-
semitism, declaring he had “lost
confidence” in Harvard.
A few weeks ago, echoing the
arguments of conservative crit-
ics, Summers blamed the crisis
in higher education on, in part, a
preoccupation with diversity.
“We have stepped away from
merit and excellence, and we
have adopted a particular con-
cept and set of concepts of social
justice as being at the center of
the purpose of universities,”
Summers said in an interview on
the podcast “The Good Fight
with Yascha Mounk,” in late Feb-
ruary.
Some of his critics wonder if
there’s an element of personal
pique at play. The same progres-
sive forces that helped expel him
from the presidency elevated
Gay, whom Summers thought
was not a strong candidate for
president, based on her work as
dean and on her scholarship. His
views were well-known in the
university community.
“Hopefully, Larry’s intentions
are not about revenge but about
making Harvard a better place,”
said David A. Thomas, president
of Morehouse College, who was a
professor and administrator at
Harvard Business School during
Summers’ tenure as university
president. “The way he’s going
about it in the long term is ineffec-
tive, precisely because it looks like
it’s sort of a moment for him to
avenge his sense that he was
somehow not treated well because
he did have issues with women
and the Black community.”
At Harvard, some of Sum-
mers’ colleagues say they’re
shocked by his open attacks.
“Why somebody who spent
his entire adult life at Harvard
and had the honor of being pres-
ident of Harvard . . . would try
and take a wrecking ball to Har-
vard the way he has in recent
months is beyond me,” said Ste-
ven Levitsky, a government pro-
fessor at Harvard and a vocal
critic of Summers’ recent com-
mentary on Harvard.
In an inter view with the
Globe, Summers dismissed the
sense that he is avenging his
ouster.
“I have long since moved on,”
he said. “My focus for many
years now has been on my teach-
ing, my research, and my contri-
butions to economic policy, not
on the internal affairs of the uni-
versity,” he added.
Summers said he is raising
up “important issues of con-
science,” which others in the
community “have been afraid to
speak out on.”
His primary and abiding con-
cern, Summers said, is antisemi-
tism on campus. After Hamas at-
tacked Israel — and dozens of
More than ever, explorers are finding a treasure trove of shipwrecks
By Michael Levenson
NEW YORK TIMES
Some were fabled vessels
that have fascinated people for
generations, such as Endurance,
Ernest Shackleton’s ship that
sank in the Antarctic in 1915.
Some were common workhorses
that faded into the depths, like
the Ironton, a barge that was
carrying 1,000 tons of grain
when it sank in Lake Huron in
1894.
No matter their place in his-
tory, more shipwrecks are being
found these days than ever be-
fore, according to those who
work in the rarefied world of
deep-sea exploration.
“More are being found, and I
also think more people are pay-
ing attention,” said James P. Del-
gado, an underwater archaeolo-
gist based in Washington, D.C.
He added: “We’re in a transition-
al phase where the true period of
deep-sea and ocean exploration
in general is truly beginning.”
So what’s behind the
increase?
Experts point to a number of
Harvard student groups issued a
statement that appeared to justi-
fy the attacks and aligned them-
selves with Palestinians — Sum-
mers called out Harvard for “a
double standard” of reacting
zealously to prevent discrimina-
tion against some groups, but
failing to protect Jews.
The university needs “to do
much more to respond to anti-
semitism,” said Summers, who is
Jewish, “in ways that are parallel
with other forms of prejudice.”
University officials have ac-
knowledged antisemitism is a
growing problem at Harvard,
but Summers wants more deci-
sive action. In February, when
an antisemitic cartoon was post-
ed on social media by pro-Pales-
tinian groups of students, facul-
ty, and staff, Summers praised
interim president Alan Garber
for condemning that cartoon.
But at the same time, in a 10-
part tweet thread, he provoca-
tively questioned how faculty
“party to” the posts could “be
permitted to remain in positions
where they exercise authority
over Jewish students?”
When Garber appointed the
task force on antisemitism in
January as part of his efforts to
address tensions and concerns
on campus, Summers joined
other critics, including Jonathan
Greenblatt, chief executive of the
Anti-Defamation League and
megadonor Bill Ackman, in at-
tacking the appointment of Der-
ek Penslar, a leading Jewish
scholar, as cochair the group.
Summers said he had “mini-
mized Harvard’s anti-Semitism
problem” and “referred to Israel
as an apartheid state.” Penslar
declined to comment for this
story, but he has remained in the
role after hundreds of Jewish
leaders and scholars publicly
vouched for his credentials.
From Summers’ perspective,
the proponents of diversity, equi-
ty, and inclusion on college cam-
puses who see the world as di-
vided between the “oppressed”
and “oppressors” — and view Is-
rael as oppressing Palestinians
— are to blame for growing an-
tipathy toward the Jewish state.
‘Why somebody who spent his entire
adult life at Harvard and had the honor
of being president of Harvard . . .
would try and take a wrecking ball to
Harvard . . . is beyond me.’
STEVEN LEVITSKY, a government professor at Harvard
Many Jewish alumni and stu-
dents said they appreciate that
someone of Summers’ stature is
willing to speak out and serve as
an ally, when they have felt ig-
nored by the university’s admin-
istration.
“He gets the moment,” said
Roni Brunn, a spokesperson for
Harvard Jewish Alumni Alli-
ance, which has been lobbying
administrators to root out anti-
semitism on campus and is con-
ducting a university-wide audit
identifying sources of anti-Israel
and anti-Jewish sentiment in
course offerings. In early Febru-
ary, Summers spoke via Zoom to
350 members of the alliance
about his Jewish identity and
factors. Technology, they say,
has made it easier and less ex-
pensive to scan the ocean floor,
opening up the hunt to ama-
teurs and professionals alike.
More people are surveying the
ocean for research and commer-
cial ventures. Shipwreck hunt-
ers are also looking for wrecks
for historical value, rather than
for sunken treasure. And cli-
mate change has intensified
storms and beach erosion, ex-
posing shipwrecks in shallow
water.
Underwater robots and new
imaging are helping.
Exper ts agreed that new
technology has revolutionized
deep-sea exploration.
Fr e e - s w i m m i n g r o b o t s ,
known as autonomous under-
water vehicles, are much more
commonplace than they were 20
years ago, and can scan large
tracts of the ocean floor without
having to be tethered to a re-
search vessel, according to J.

senior program manager of the

Targeted by progressive forces, Larry Summers was forced to resign as Harvard’s president in 2006.
how Harvard can fight antisemi-
tism, Brunn said.
“He has given us focus and
given us hope,” Brunn said, “that
what we want is completely nor-
mal.”
Jennifer Hochschild, a Har-
vard professor of government
and African and African Ameri-
can studies, said she appreciated
Summers’ initial social media
post criticizing Harvard after
Oct. 7 even though she acknowl-
edged it broke protocol.
“It’s not good British form for
the former president of the uni-
versity to criticize the current
president of the university. One
doesn’t do that sort of thing. And
Larry does,” she said. “But the
reason he’s doing this is because
of his passion and moral com-
mitment.”
Some students who speak up
for Palestinian rights, however,
have found Summers’ advocacy
problematic.
Violet Barron, a 19-year-old
sophomore at Harvard College,
called Summers’ public condem-
nation of student groups that
speak up for Palestinians “an
asymmetric leveraging of power,
and that feels wrong.”
While Barron called it an “un-
deniable fact” antisemitism is
growing nationally, she said the
threat at Harvard has been over-
stated by Summers and others
because so many conflate anti-
Zionism with antisemitism. She
was among those who founded
the group Jews for Palestine at
Harvard after Oct. 7 to “correct
tory at the Woods Hole Oceano-
graphic Institution in Massa-
chusetts.
Remotely operated vehicles
can travel 25 miles under the ice
sheet in polar regions, he said.
And satellite imagery can detect
shipwrecks from plumes of sedi-
ment moving around them that
are visible from space.
“The technology is more ca-
pable and more portable and
built on scientists’ budgets,”
Hartsfield said, adding: “You
can sample larger and larger ar-
eas of the ocean per dollar.”
Jeremy Weirich, director of
Ocean Exploration at the Na-
tional Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, said the ex-
panded use of telepresence sys-
tems, which stream images of
the ocean floor to anyone with
an internet connection, has al-
lowed more people to explore
and discover shipwrecks in real
time.
And the digitization of ar-
chives has made it easier to find
and consult historical docu-
ments, said David L. Means, a
marine scientist and shipwreck
G l o b e
the narrative that had been so
blown out of proportion.”
Summers did speak out last
fall against the doxxing of pro-
Palestinian students who signed
a controversial letter following
the attacks. “It is a time for abso-
lute clarity that words or deeds
that threaten the safety of others
in our community will not be tol-
erated,” he tweeted. But he re-
mains adamant the antisemi-
tism on campus is, if anything,
underestimated.
Known as a brilliant econo-
mist and a top economic adviser
to the Clinton and Obama ad-
ministrations whose guidance
has been sought out by bankers,
hedge fund managers, and more
recently artificial intelligence pi-
oneers, Summers has never been
shy about offering his opinion,
whether publicly or behind the
scenes, at Harvard and other or-
ganizations with which he’s in-
volved.
Jason Furman, a friend who,
like Summers, worked as a top
national economic adviser and
teaches in both Harvard’s eco-
nomics department and the
Kennedy School of Government,
said Summers “just cares enor-
mously,” and “thinks he makes
things better by speaking his
mind.”
Furman experienced Sum-
mers’ unvarnished critiques
himself when he was the chair-
man of the Council of Economic
Advisers, and sent regular up-
dates to his email list of some
300 people.
“Larry would write back:
‘Here are 10 things you did
wrong, three things you should
think about, and two points you
should have made but didn’t,’”
Furman said.
Summers, who will turn 70
later this year, is famous for pre-
senting his ideas with boundless
certitude. He is not always right.
In the 1990s, while Summers
was at the Treasury Department,
he adamantly fought efforts to
explorer.
Climate change is a factor.
Climate change is playing a
role, experts said, by producing
more frequent and powerful
storms that have eroded shore-
lines and churned up sunken
vessels.
In late January, for example,
several months after Hurricane
Fiona battered Canada, a 19th-
centur y shipwreck washed
ashore in the remote Cape Ray
section of Newfoundland, caus-
ing a stir in the small communi-
ty of about 250 people.
That kind of discovery may
become more commonplace,
Delgado said. “As the ocean ris-
es,” he said, “it’s digging things
out that have been buried or hid-
den for more than a century.”
Treasure hunting isn’t what
it used to be.
Private treasure hunters still
search for shipwrecks, hoping to
find sunken gold, coins, or jew-
els. But their discoveries often
become mired in legal battles,
and rarely are their claims ever
regulate complex financial deriv-
atives, which many blamed for
contributing to the 2008 eco-
nomic crisis. More recently, as
an economic commentator, he
proved correct in foreseeing that
President Biden’s COVID stimu-
lus package would accelerate in-
flation. But he incorrectly pre-
dicted the aggressive interest
rate increases by the Federal Re-
serve to bring inflation under
control would lead to a recession
and spike in unemployment.
These days, Summers still
teaches three classes at Harvard
in the fall and divides his time
between Cambridge and Arizo-
na, where his wife, also an aca-
demic, runs a center. He down-
played his stature as a president
emeritus and national figure,
suggesting he’s interjecting his
ideas about Harvard as any pro-
fessor might.
“I do not feel that the fact
that many people listen to me
constitutes a reason why I
should not be allowed to express
opinions,” he said.
Summers acknowledged he
has made behind-the-scenes
calls to influential players at
Harvard, letting them know he
was following their response to
the turmoil on campus, and that
he was prepared to publicly
speak out about it.
Alison Frank Johnson, a Har-
vard history professor, said sto-
ries of faculty and administra-
tors feeling bullied by Summers
abound on campus, where she
has taught since 2005. Frustrat-
ed Harvard faculty have in re-
cent months even pleaded with
Garber to intervene and ask
Summers to dial back his public
take-downs, she said. Garber,
however, has stressed Summers
has the freedom to say what he
wants, she said.
“A tool that he uses in the bul-
lying is the threat of public sort
of shaming,” Frank Johnson
said.
Summers dismissed the claim
realized, said Deborah N. Carl-
son, the president of the Insti-
tute of Nautical Archaeology, a
nonprofit research organization.
She pointed out that under-
water archaeologist Peter Th-
rockmorton once called ocean
treasure hunting “the world’s
worst investment,” and found
that it “only benefits promoters
and lawyers.”
Private claims to a sunken
ship can be contested by nations
or insurers. Spain, for example,
successfully defended its claim
that it maintained ownership of
a Spanish frigate that was sunk
by the British in 1804 after an
American treasure-hunting
company found the shipwreck
off Portugal in 2007 and took its
trove of gold and silver coins to a
Florida warehouse.
The UNESCO Convention on
the Protection of the Underwa-
ter Cultural Heritage, adopted in
2001, sought to protect ship-
wrecks from looters and said
countries should preserve them
and other undersea relics “for
the benefit of humanity.”
Hartsfield said that if the

those private conversations
amount to stifling free speech or
threatening and bullying of his
colleagues. In fact, Summers
said, he views it as “a basic cour-
tesy” to give the targets of his
criticism advance notice.
“I don’t believe in going after
people,” Summers said. “But aca-
demic freedom does not include
freedom from criticism. And
when I’m going to criticize
views, I’ve tried always to give
people notice in advance that I
was going to do that.”
He acknowledged, however,
that he did not alert Rashid Kha-
lidi, a professor of modern Arab
studies at Columbia University
in New York City, before criticiz-
ing him on social media. In a late
January post on X that drew 2.8
million views, Summers criti-
cized Harvard for twice inviting
Khalidi, “who many see as anti-
semitic,” to speak on campus.
Summers later tweeted that it
was a mistake to link Khalidi to
antisemitism, and that he had
personally reached out to Khali-
di.
Asked about the exchange,
Khalidi said: “I have nothing to
say about Larry Summers.”
Brian Rosenberg, former
president of Macalester College
in Minnesota and a visiting pro-
fessor at the Harvard School of
Graduate Education, said Sum-
mers’ recent critical commen-
tary may have bolstered his im-
age as an influential insider.
But has it helped students at
Harvard? Probably not, Rosen-
berg said.
“My advice would be to be
quiet,” Rosenberg said. “But I’m
sure he would not take that ad-
vice.”

goal is “to observe and not dis-
turb” a shipwreck, the cost goes
down because it doesn’t require
anyone to lower a submersible
on a winch to pluck items off the
ocean floor. Scientists, he said,
can just use a video camera to
record the artifacts they find.
More are joining in and
exploring the ocean depths.
While treasure hunters still
ply their trade, they have been
joined by more commercial and
research ventures that have ex-
panded the realm of deep-sea
exploration.
Weirich said that more ship-
wrecks have been found over the
years in large part because of
private companies surveying for
oil and gas leases, cables, and
pipelines.
Phil Hartmeyer, a marine ar-
chaeologist at NOAA Ocean Ex-
ploration, said that more private
research groups are also scan-
ning the ocean floor and helping
to move scientists around the
world closer toward a goal of
mapping the entire seabed by
2030.

Expansion is
nothing short

aters. The generously propor-
tioned lobby, with sly Art
Deco nods to the original
building, houses the new box
office, so guests no longer
have to wait outside in bad
weather. Plentiful bathrooms
offer amenities on every floor,
the education center doubles
as a screening room, and pro-
jectionists no longer have to
clamber up the fire escape to
bring film cans to the upper
booth.
Less obvious, perhaps, is
that the 14,000-square-foot
expansion is the brick-and-
mortar embodiment of the
Coolidge’s twin ambitions: It
promises to secure the art
house’s financial future by
strengthening its earning po-
tential, while also burnishing
the theater’s reputation as a
leading regional center for
film and culture.
“This really brings us into
that next level,” said Kather-
ine Tallman, executive direc-
tor and chief executive of the
foundation that operates the
nonprofit Coolidge. “There
won’t be a better place to see
a movie.”
The expansion comes at an
uncertain moment for the in-
dustry, as multiplexes strug-
gle to attract audiences fol-
lowing the COVID-19 pan-
demic while also competing
with streaming services.
Meanwhile, niche theaters
seem to be doubling down in
Boston: In about the past
year, Alamo Drafthouse Cine-
ma opened an outpost in the
Seaport and the Brattle The-
atre upgraded its sound sys-
tem.
The Coolidge is no excep-
tion. The theater leaned into
its repertory programming af-
ter it reopened during the
pandemic, showing old clas-
sics, foreign films, midnight
movies, and more. The result:
The Coolidge is less depen-
dent on new films than most
theaters, last year garnering
some 30 percent of revenue
from this type of program-
ming.
But people will only pay so
much for a movie ticket. And
with four theaters, the
Coolidge could only fill so
many seats, even as demand
(and expenses) continued to
rise.
“We’re revenue-capped in
the current space,” said Tall-
man, who added that the the-
ater still has to raise another
$600,000 toward the expan-
sion.
Two additional theaters
will not only mean more
seats, she said, but will also
allow the theater to offer
more diverse programming,
enabling it to fulfill its daily
screenings obligations to dis-
tributors, while also beefing
up its repertory offerings.
Meanwhile, the new Edu-
cation and Community En-
gagement Center will serve as
the cornerstone for the
Coolidge’s expanded educa-
tional programming. The the-
ater recently hired Sophie
Blum as its inaugural director
of education, and Tallman
said the center will be used
for film seminars, receptions,
community rentals, lectures,
school programs, and other
events.
“We’ll be able to offer
courses all the time up there,
and really serve the commu-
nity so much more,” said Tall-
man. She added that the ex-
pansion includes a new con-
ference room that will be
available to rent. The fund-
raising drive has also netted
the Coolidge a $1 million en-
dowment, a first for the non-
profit. “This really cements
our reputation as a cultural
center based in film.”
Designed by Boston-based
Höweler + Yoon Architecture,
the expansion draws inspira-
tion from both the history of
film and the Art Deco embel-
lishments of the older build-
ing, which was originally
built as a church in 1906.
The challenge of working
in an old city, said firm part-
ner Eric Höweler, is to design
B o s t o n S u n d a y G l o b e The Region A15
a building that is both con-
temporary and appropriately
contextual, and won’t feel dat-
ed in a decade.
“We said Art Deco isn’t a
style: It’s a kind of attitude
about technology, about opti-
mism, progress, and new me-
dia,” said Höweler, who co-
founded the firm with J. Mee-
jin Yoon. “It’s trying to give
form to a changing world.
We’re also in a changing mo-
ment, so Art Deco seems to-
tally appropriate.”
While the original mar-
quee draws visitors up a nar-
row passageway off Harvard
Street, the new lobby is situat-
ed off a public parking lot be-
hind the old building. During
a recent tour, Höweler de-
scribed how the three-story

addition, clad in an undulat-
ing brick facade that emulates
a movie curtain, creates a
“new front” for the theater.
The new lobby, which has
a striking gold wall but other-
wise presents a muted palette,
connects to the shimmering
Art Deco lobby in the original
building.
“When you come in it’s
sort of all monochrome, black
and white, kind of like ‘The
Wizard of Oz,’” said Höweler.
“But you step through that
portal, and all of a sudden
you’re in a world of great rich
color.”
Architects created another
such portal by installing an el-
evator and staircase that lead
to the new theaters. Visitors
arrive at the larger auditori-
um first, a 149-seat movie
house rendered entirely in
shades of red. One story up,
the smaller, 54-seat theater is
a study in saturated blues,
from its seats to its walls to
the ceiling.
Höweler said that during
one of the firm’s interviews,
they showed “The Cook, the
Thief, His Wife & Her Lover,”
Peter Greenaway’s highly styl-
ized 1989 film where charac-
ters’ costumes change from

CASE, Dorothy “Dottie” L.
Dottie, age 78, following four and a half
years of loving special care at Care One,
Lexington, formerly of Sunderland,
MA, Needham, MA, Munich, Germany,
Potsdam, NY, Newton, MA and
Somerville, MA, born May 10, 1945,
passed away on March 14, 2024, after a
lengthy battle with dementia.
A passionate musician, quilter,
genealogist, pacifist. A compassionate
birdwatcher, butterfly observer, cat and
dog lover. A fan of Louisa May Alcott,
Dottie paddled her own canoe with a
warm sense of humor, which came in
handy as a loyal Red Sox fan. It was
obvious early on that she had a gift
for music, including perfect pitch. She
played piano, viola, organ, harpsichord,
hammered dulcimer and accordion.
She was also a composer, arranger and
conductor.
Dottie was raised in Newton, where,
as an 11th grader her music teacher,
Henry Lasker included an extensive
example of her work in his textbook
Teaching Creative Music in Secondary
Schools. She moved on to obtain a B.S.
in Music Education from the Crane
School of Music, SUNY Potsdam,
making many wonderful friends and
memories. Everyone involved and
included in the 1967 yearbook agreed
to use lower case (no pun intended)
letters for the entire book. Dottie
decided to use this “expression of
humility” her entire life.
She continued her education at
the Richard Strauss Conservatory in
Munich, Germany, for an advanced
degree in Conducting. After returning
to the U.S., “dottie” embarked on a
career as a private piano teacher and
church music director and organist
in Newton, Needham and South
Hadley. She was the accompanist for
the renowned Highland Glee Club in
Newton for 17 years, where her dad
sang for 22 years. After finding her
peaceful, country home in Sunderland,
she settled in with her sheltie, “Nessie”;
2 cats, 6 finches and added on another
job at the Emily Dickinson Museum
in Amherst, MA, until the onset of her
illness.
She was a member of Bird
and Butterfly Conservation Clubs
throughout MA and did not hesitate
to write to newspapers, politicians
and corporations about preserving
natural habitats for birds, butterflies
and humans. She had articles printed
in music, birdwatching and genealogy
publications and several acrostic word
puzzles in Opera News Magazine.
Dottie was the eldest daughter of the
late H. Vivian Case (Hartt) and Gordon
Y. Case. Survived by her brother,
William C. Case, Arlington, MA; and
sister, Barbara R. Case, Corvallis, OR.
A private Burial will be held in
Sunderland. A Celebration of Life
will be held Friday, May 10, 2024, at
11am, at the Magic Wings Butterfly
Conservatory in South Deerfield, MA.
Donations in her memory may be
made to: The Highland Glee Club, c/o
Mr. Peter Haffenreffer, 14 York Road,
Winchester, MA 01890. Please include
“Music Award Fund” on subject line or
Dakin Humane Society, P.O. Box 6307,

Every day, in dottie’s memory, smile,
laugh, be kind and say something nice
to another of God’s creatures.

COOPER, Lilla
An avid collector and beloved friend
to many, Lilla Cooper, age 96, of
Easton, Connecticut, passed away on
Friday, March 15, 2024, at St. Vincent’s
Medical Center, surrounded by her
loving family.
Lilla was raised in Newton,
Massachusetts, the daughter of Martha
and Joseph Blumenthal. She was a
proud graduate of Vassar College,
where she studied art history and
philosophy. Upon graduation, Lilla
married her husband of 66 years, Dr.
Milton Cooper. Their marriage took
them from Syracuse to San Diego to
Rochester, Minnesota, where their two
children, Bruce and Scott were born.
They moved to the Bridgeport area in
1956 and ultimately, settled into their
home in Easton, Connecticut, where
Lilla remained until her passing.
Lilla was known for her energetic
spirit, enthusiasm for life and keen eye
for a bargain. She delighted in sharing
her tag sale finds, (too numerous to
count), with friends, family and visitors
and no one could leave her home
empty-handed. She also loved her
garden in Easton and relaxing in her
country home in Springfield, Vermont,
where all guests were instructed to
memorialize their visit by signing the
entryway wall.
For many years, Lilla was the
coordinator of Arts with the Experts,
a popular continuing education
program at Fairfield University, where
she reveled in sharing with others her
passion for and expertise in the arts.
She was a long-time volunteer for the
American Cancer Society and served
on the board of the Jewish Home for
the Elderly, now known as Mozaic
Senior Life in Bridgeport. She was
an extraordinary homemaker who
treasured her turn to host Gourmet
Club dinners with a group of close
friends. Lilla spent endless hours on the
phone, keeping in touch with family
and friends from all chapters of her life.
Lilla is survived by her sons, Bruce
and his wife, Kristi of East Lyme,
Connecticut and Scott and his wife,
Elizabeth of Lexington, Massachusetts;
her grandson, Jonathan and his
wife, Katherine; her granddaughter,
Madeline; her grandson, Benjamin;
and her great-grandson, Shaw. She was
predeceased by her husband, Milton;
and her grandson, Matthew.
Lilla also leaves behind her countless
friends and devoted family members
who kept her young and vital until the
last days of her life.
A private Funeral Service was
officiated by Lilla’s granddaughter,
Rabbi Madeline Cooper. Memorial
contributions in Lilla’s honor may be
made to Mozaic Senior Life, 4200 Park
Avenue, Bridgeport, CT 06604 or to

guidance and leadership, touching
many lives with her dedication and

Remembered
DI TROIA, Dr. Joseph
Frederick
Age 86, of Canton, passed away on
March 23, at his home, surrounded
by his family and his books. He was
born in Winthrop, MA, in 1932, and
graduated from Boston Latin School,
Harvard College and Boston University
School of Medicine. At Harvard,
Joseph lived in Adams House and
heard daily a 356 Porsche idle at the
stop sign beneath his window, igniting
a lifelong love of cars. Joseph’s drive
for mastery was well-matched by his
profession as a surgeon. He retired
from ENT Specialists, Inc. in 2003,
proud of a career spent in the service
of others. He pursued his hobbies with
the same focus as medicine: studying
German and Italian, lifting weights
daily, researching the American
political system and economy and
playing tennis, golf and skiing. The
greatest of all these was skiing, which
he learned with his wife, Susan, in his
mid-twenties and later spent every
winter weekend and holiday skiing
with his family at Waterville Valley,
NH. Even though Joseph and Susan
frequently traveled to ski resorts across
Europe and the American West, his
favorite mountain memories were
at the Blue Hills Ski Area in Canton,
where he taught his grandchildren
to ski. Joseph was introduced to his
future wife, Susan Goubeaux, by a
medical school classmate, Thomas
Bagnoli, who was dating and later
married Susan’s sister, Ann, cementing
Tom and Joseph’s decades-spanning
friendship. This introduction to Susan
was the great good fortune of Joseph’s
life. He deeply loved her for over fifty
years and mourned her death in 2019.
Joseph lives on through his daughter,
Sarah Di Troia, who possesses excellent
car detailing skills; his son-in-law,
John Buten, who can carve a perfect
turn; his granddaughter, Rosemary Di
Troia, who is studying nursing; and
his grandson, Oliver Buten, who avidly
debates politics and economics. He is
survived by his big sister, June Alfano;
his niece, Carla C.; and nephew, Paul
Alfano. Following Joseph’s wishes,
there will not be a Memorial Service or
Funeral and his ashes will be Buried at
home with those of his wife and son,
David, who died in 1996. Please honor
Joseph’s memory by sending gifts in his
name to CrisisTextLine.org or by raising
a glass of good scotch.
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

HUGHES, Margaret M.
Margaret M. Hughes (Lersch), age 89,
entered eternal rest on March 21, 2024,
surrounded by her close family. Born
in Hingham, MA on March 4, 1935
to William and Margaret (Houghton).
Peggy was the eldest sister to Charles,
William, who preceded her in death in
2019, and John Lersch. She graduated
from Hingham High School in 1952
and St. Elizabeth Hospital School
of Nursing in 1954, after which she
began her career in nursing. In 1960,
she married Gerard J. Hughes, who
preceded her in death in 1990. Peggy
and Jerry enjoyed 30 years of marriage
together and had four children:
Gregory, Michael, who preceded her
in death in 2015, Susan (now Dlouhy),
and Timothy Hughes.
As a family they enjoyed spending
time at the beach and vacationing
together, including a trip to Disney
World that Peggy won in a grocery
store raffle. Between Memorial Day and
Labor Day, she spent as much time as
possible at their family vacation home
on the Cape.
As each of her children started their
own families, she warmly welcomed
their spouses into her family - Brendan
Dlouhy, Amy Chisholm, Nina Lipsky,
and Emily Sterzin - and lovingly served
as the matriarch of her growing family.
She was a proud and beloved “Nana” to
grandchildren Zachary, Erin, Hannah,
Matthew, Samantha, Max, Owen, and
Leo and great-grandchildren Declan
and Layla, and “Auntie Peggy” to many
nieces, nephews, and close friends.
Nursing was at the core of her being
- she was very caring and generous
with her time, knowledge, and skills.
In addition to her 40+ year career
in nursing at South Shore Hospital
and medical administration at Beth
Israel Hospital, she was the go-to in
her community. Her kids were never
surprised to see ad hoc medical
treatment for family or friends in their
kitchen. Grandchildren would run
various bumps, bruises, and stings by
her careful eye and she quality checked
the medical care of her loved ones and
herself right until the end.
Her community was incredibly
important to her and she was a faithful
volunteer for years - at the Cottage Shop
at South Shore Hospital and for over
15 years at the Hingham Senior Center,
where she was honored with the
“Volunteer of the Year” award in 2020.
Prior to that, she was involved in the
Hingham Mothers’ Club, the Hingham
Ladies Club, and the Hingham PTA.
Peggy prioritized supporting her
familys’ interests, activities, and
events. From driving hours to Maine
each weekend to see her brother play
football in the 1950s to braving the
elements last fall to watch her youngest
grandchildren play flag football and all
of the track meets, basketball games,
hockey tournaments, soccer games,
cheerleading competitions, dance
recitals, swim meets, baseball games,
and theater performances in between,
Peggy was a consistent presence, loving
fan, and vocal (“woohoo!”) cheerleader
to everyone in her family over the
decades.
She was a voracious reader and was
often found surrounded by books, at
the library, and trading books with
friends and family. Her social life was
robust and filled with lunches, dinners,
shopping trips, and wedding and baby
showers, all of which she attended
impeccably dressed, accessorized, and
coordinated. She was a generous and
thoughtful gift-giver. She never forgot
an important milestone or holiday and
particularly loved spoiling her family
on Christmas.
Relatives and friends are invited to
celebrate her life. Visiting Hours are
on Sunday March 24 from 5-8 PM in
the Pyne Keohane Funeral Home, 21
Emerald St., Hingham, MA. A Funeral
Mass will be held on Monday March
25 at St. Paul’s Church, 147 North St.,
Hingham, at 11:00 AM. Burial in St.
Paul’s Cemetery, Hingham. Donations
in memory of Margaret may be made
to the Hingham Senior Center, 224
Central St., Hingham, MA 02043 or
the Hingham Public Library, 66 Leavitt
St., Hingham, MA 02043. See www.

HURLBUT, Ann “Nancy”
(Gannett)
Ann, age 85, was a great friend,
lifelong educator, scholar, creative
spark and loving wife, mother and
grandmother. Her radiant smile made
all feel welcome and appreciated. She
died peacefully on March 6, 2024
of complications from Alzheimer’s
disease. A resident of Cambridge,
Massachusetts, Nancy grew up on
Mainstone Farm in Wayland, the
daughter of Ann Cole and Thomas B.
Gannett. She attended Meadowbrook
School, Winsor School, Vassar College
and Harvard Graduate School of
Education. At Vassar, she majored in
drama and then married Bob to start
their life together in Antigua, West
Indies, where he was stationed in the
Navy. She soon found her first teaching
job there as principal of Sunnyside
Elementary and began a career in
education that spanned decades.
When they returned to the Boston
area, Nancy worked in the library at
Winsor School and then as librarian
and English teacher at The Park School
in Brookline. She brought audio
visual materials and new media to the
library and encouraged young people
to read what interested them. She
shared her love of music and singing
with the students at monthly birthday
celebrations, when children could
sing out their names accompanied by
Nancy’s guitar. After Park, she taught
at the Cambridge School of Weston,
Noble and Greenough School and
South Boston High School, where she
worked with students on writing and
anthologies. Nancy was also a gifted
actor and playwright. She performed
with the Revels in Cambridge as a
soloist and chorus singer and acted in
numerous local theater productions.
Her one-woman play titled, Surly Girl,
was produced at Boston University
Theater, Vassar College and The
Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center.
The show depicted home life during
and after WWII, when the pain of war
impacted family relationships. She
used her own experience to create art
that she hoped would reach a broad
audience and inspire healing. Nancy
believed that the journey, not the
destination, mattered most. She loved
traveling with family and friends and
she loved the outdoors. She planted
beautiful spaces in her yard and also
created gardens by the Charles River
for everyone to enjoy. Her sense of
artistry took many forms that were
both personal and public. She changed
the scenery at home with colorful
arrangements of books and art and for
friends, she wrote lyrics to classic songs
in their honor. She had a way with
words. She also loved the Red Sox and
listened to games on the radio. When
they won the World Series, Nancy made
sure all the grandchildren received
special Red Sox t-shirts. Nancy was an
elected member of the Brookline Public
Library Board of Trustees and served
with many volunteer organizations in
Cambridge, including The Cambridge
Homes, where she led play reading
activities for the residents. She wrote
and recorded radio stories about
issues facing teens that were aired on
American Public Radio and in 2010,
she was honored with the Cambridge
YWCA Woman of Distinction Award.
She is survived by her husband, Bob,
of 64 years; her daughter, Angie; sons,
Rob and Sam; and their spouses,
Andrew Nyhart, Amy Hurlbut and
Maria Blanco; and eight grandchildren,
Byron, Noah, Isabelle, Gracey, Lucy,
Caleb, Susannah and Vivianne; also her
sister, Deborah Brooks; and brother,
Peter Gannett. Her brothers, Tim
Gannett and Ben Gannett, predeceased
her. The family would like to thank
Barbara Flynn and all the loving
caregivers who made Nancy’s final
years so peaceful. A Memorial Service
will be held on Saturday, June 8, at
11 am, at Harvard Memorial Church.
Donations may be made in Nancy’s
honor to The Park School, Nancy

LEVY, Estelle Lois (Rich)
Of Canton, passed away peacefully,
surrounded by her three children on
March 22, 2024, at 93 years of age.
Estelle was born on May 24, 1930
in Boston to the late Fannie (Siegal)
and Abraham Rich. She was a proud
graduate of Roxbury Memorial High
School and Boston University. Estelle
was predeceased by her devoted
husband of 61 years, Howard Levy.
She was the beloved mother of Joseph
Levy and his wife Cindy, Stewart
Levy, and Carol Fishman and her
husband David. She is also survived
by her adored grandchildren, Allison
(Simon), Jennifer (Sam), Harrison,
Jordan, Brian (Jillian), Alex (Leah),
Michael (Julia), Jacob, and her three
great-grandchildren Isabela, Dawn,
and Asher. Estelle also leaves behind
her dear nieces, nephews, cousins, and
friends, especially her cousin Norma
and life-long friend Barbara Linsky,
who were both like sisters to her. She
was predeceased by her sister-in-law,
Adele Zimmerman.
Estelle was member #70 of Temple
Beth Abraham, joining in 1960 when
she and Howard moved to Canton to
raise their family. She was an involved
and proud member of the Jewish
community. Over the years, she held
multiple leadership roles in many
Jewish organizations, including Temple
Beth Abraham Sisterhood, the Brandeis
Women’s Club, ORT, and Hadassah.
She enjoyed attending Saturday
morning services regularly at Temple
Beth Abraham. Estelle was also always
involved in planning her high school
and college reunions and had many
life-long friends. She remembered
everyone, where they were from, who
they were related to, and loved making
connections between people. Moving
to Brightview Senior Living in 2016
gave her the opportunity to make
many new friends and reconnect with
old friends and acquaintances. She
enjoyed socializing with her card group,
knitting group, Mahjong players, and
dinner companions.
Her biggest accomplishment in life
was being a mother, grandmother, and
wife. She adored her three children and
their spouses, and she doted on her
eight grandchildren. Her three great-
grandchildren brought her endless joy
over the last few years; nothing made
her happier than seeing them and
getting daily videos and photos of them
on her phone. Even in her final days,
their photos and videos would always
bring a smile to her face. Nothing was
more important to her than her family.
Estelle will be deeply missed by all who
were lucky enough to have known her.
Funeral services will be held on
Monday, March 25th at 11:30 AM
at Stanetsky Memorial Chapel, 475
Washington Street, CANTON. The

O’DONNELL, Nancy
Nancy Shea O’Donnell passed away
peacefully on March 18, 2024, at the
age of 89, in Naples, FL. Daughter
of the late James J. Shea, Sr. and
Henrietta Delaney Shea, Nancy was
born in Springfield, MA on June 10,
1934. She was predeceased by her
husband, John “Jake” O’Donnell;
brother James J. Shea, Jr.; and sister
Barbara Shea Brennan. Nancy was a
graduate of Sacred Heart High School
in Springfield, MA and Marymount
College in Tarrytown, NY. Upon
graduation, she worked in the Human
Resource Department of the Milton
Bradley Company. She married
Jake, her high school sweetheart, on
September 14, 1957. They enjoyed
63 wonderful years together. Shortly
after her marriage, they moved to Fort
Bliss, in El Paso TX, where she taught
third grade while Jake was serving in
the Army. Her greatest joy was raising
her six children in Springfield and
Longmeadow, MA. She was active and
athletic, playing tennis at the Field
Club, skiing on Mt. Tom, playing Bridge
with her friends, and golfing with
Jake and her children. She enjoyed
traveling with her family for milestone
birthday vacations, especially to her
favorite island of Bermuda. Nancy
was smart, and an eager adopter of
technology. She loved her iPhone, Apple
Watch, online banking and Zelle-ing
her grandchildren for their birthdays.
Nancy loved spending summers on
Cape Cod, at her West Dennis home
appropriately named “Nancy’s Nest.”
She enjoyed her daily 4 mile beach
walks with friends and family, at a
pace that most found difficult to keep
up with. She was always first to touch
“the Pole” at the end of West Dennis
Beach. Nancy’s Nest was the family
hub, where she hosted holidays, lobster
dinners, hours of board games and
family Pitch. Nancy’s Nest was home
not only to her children, but also to her
nieces and nephews (the Brennans)
and countless friends of her children.
She was a mother to many in her
flock. July 4th was her favorite holiday
and she loved celebrating it with her
children, grandchildren, the Brennans
and many close friends. For the last
35 years, Nancy spent her winters
in Naples, FL. She loved her Naples
community of friends and was active
in golf and bridge. She was also an
avid reader, always looking for her next
book. The Marbella became her home
the last several years and she cherished
the friendships she made there. The
O’Donnell family would like to thank
The Marbella for creating such a warm
and welcoming environment for our
Mom, and The Cove for the wonderful
care they recently gave her. Nancy
is survived by her daughter Linda
Caligari and her husband Jeff Caligari
of Richmond, MA; her daughter
Nancy O’Donnell and her husband Joe
Peplowski of Winchester, MA; her son
James “Jay” O’Donnell and his wife
Nadia O’Donnell of La Jolla, CA; her
son Richard “Rick” O’Donnell and his
wife Margaret O’Donnell of Naples,
FL; her daughter Susan O’Donnell
of Newton, MA, and her daughter
Diane O’Donnell and her husband Jim
Massman of Winchester, MA. Nancy
was blessed with 11 grandchildren
and 2 great-grandchildren, Kaitlyn
Caligari Laverdiere and her husband
Ryan, their 2 children, Isabelle and
Jackson; Caroline, Maria, and Shea
Caligari; Maggie and Libby Peplowski,
Jake Peplowski and his wife Sarah;
Christine and Michael O’Donnell and
Elizabeth and Patrick Massman. Nancy
was devoted to her Catholic faith. She
was generous and kind to all she came
in contact with. Her love for family
and friends knew no bounds. She was
the family matriarch and will live in
our hearts forever. A Celebration of
Life will be held in Naples FL and a
second in Longmeadow, MA in June
to coincide with her 90th birthday.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be

Peter Angelos, 94, longtime Orioles owner Lyn Hejinian, leading

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BALTIMORE — Peter Ange-

los, owner of a Baltimore Orioles
team that endured long losing
stretches and shrewd proprietor
of a law firm that won high-pro-
file cases against industry titans,
died Saturday. He was 94.
Mr. Angelos had been ill for
several years. His family an-
nounced his death in a state-
ment thanking the caregivers
“who brought comfort to him in
his final years.”
Mr. Angelos’s death comes as
his son, John, is in the process of
selling the Orioles to a group
headed by Carlyle Group Inc. co-
founder David Rubenstein. Peter
Angelos’s public role diminished
significantly in his final years.
According to a lawsuit involving
his sons in 2022, he had surgery
after his aortic valve failed in
2017.
Born on the Fourth of July in
1929 and raised in Maryland by
Greek immigrants, Peter Ange-
los rose from a blue-collar back-
ground to launch a firm in his
own name after receiving his law
degree from the University of
Baltimore in 1961.
In August 1993, Mr. Angelos
led a group of investors that
bought the Orioles. The group
included writer Tom Clancy,
filmmaker Barry Levinson, and
tennis star Pam Shriver. The
price tag of $173 million — at
the time the highest for a sports
franchise — came in a sale forced
by the bankruptcy of then-owner
Eli Jacobs.
While remaining active in a
law firm specializing in personal
injury cases, Mr. Angelos as-
sumed a hands-on approach to
running his hometown team.
Few player acquisitions were
carried out without his approval,
and his reputation for not
spending millions on high-
priced free agents belied his net
worth, which in 2017 was esti-
mated at $2.1 billion.
In 1996, his firm brought a
lawsuit on behalf of the state of
Maryland against tobacco giant
Philip Morris, securing a $4.5
billion settlement. The Law Of-
f i c e s o f Pe t e r A n g e l o s a l s o
earned millions of dollars
Mr. Angelos (right) with Secretary of State Madeleine Albright at Camden Yards in 1997.
through the settlement of asbes-
tos cases, including a class-ac-
tion suit on behalf of steel, ship-
yard, and manufacturing facility
workers.
Mr. Angelos made headlines
as well in baseball. In 1995, he
was the only one of 28 owners
who refused to adhere to a plan
to use replacement players dur-
ing a union strike that began
during the 1994 season.
“We’re duty bound to provide
major league baseball to our
fans, and that can’t be done with
replacement players,” he insist-
ed.
At the time, Orioles shortstop
Cal Ripken Jr. was only 122
games from breaking Lou Geh-
rig's record of 2,130 consecutive
games played. The streak would
have ended if the season started
with replacement players and
Ripken remained on strike, but
the owners and players reached
an agreement before opening
day and Ripken ultimately end-
ed up extending his record run
to 2,632.
Mr. Angelos also fought for
years to create an exhibition se-
ries between the Orioles and Cu-
ba’s national team, a quest that
reached fruition in 1999. On
March 28, the Orioles played in
Havana while Mr. Angelos sat
alongside Cuban leader Fidel
Castro. The teams met again on
May 3 at Oriole Park at Camden
Yards.
The series marked the first
time the Cuban national team
had faced a squad composed
solely of major league players,
and the first time since 1959 a
big league club played in Cuba.
“He’s always had an interest
in politics, especially foreign pol-
icy. That, and his involvement
with baseball, made it a natural
thing,” said John Angelos, the
Orioles’ current chairman and
CEO.
T he Orioles ne ver won a
World Series with Mr. Angelos as
their owner. The team finally
ended a run of 14 consecutive
losing seasons in 2012, reaching
the postseason under manager
Buck Showalter.
Baltimore made it to the
American League Champion-
ship Series in 2014. But in 2018
the bottom fell out when the Ori-
oles finished 47-115, the worst
record in the majors and worst
since the franchise relocated
NICK WASS/ASSOCIATED PRESS/FILE
from St. Louis in 1954.
Showalter was fired, and a
major rebuild began the follow-
ing season under rookie manag-
er Brandon Hyde. The Orioles
capped a swift rise from their re-
build by winning 101 games and
a division title in 2023.
Though the team was never
sensational, its home base cer-
tainly stood out. Sellout crowds
were the norm after Oriole Park
at Camden Yards opened in
1992. The iconic structure was
built predominantly with brick,
mortar, and steel — much in the
same fashion as old-time ball-
parks — and was the blueprint
for other stadiums to follow.
In an era when owners often
sell the name of their team’s sta-
dium or arena to advertisers
with the highest bid, Mr. Ange-
los never succumbed to such a
transaction.
As he neared his 90th birth-
day, Mr. Angelos finally settled
into the background and en-
trusted the operation of the
team to his two sons, John and
Louis, an attorney at the Law Of-
fices of Peter Angelos and a rep-
resentative of Orioles owner-
ship.
light of language poetry
movement, at 82
By Alex Williams
NEW YORK TIMES
Lyn Hejinian, a central figure
in the language poetry move-
ment of the 1970s and ’80s who
channeled the seismic social
changes and avant-garde artistic
climate of the 1960s into work
that was both richly lyrical and
groundbreaking in its experi-
mentalism, died on Feb. 24 at
her home in Berkeley, Calif. She
was 82.
The cause was cancer of the
bile duct, her husband, jazz sax-
ophonist Larry Ochs, said.
As a poet, essayist, publisher,
and professor, Ms. Hejinian was
a central figure in a subversive
literary movement that aimed to
explode the first-person confes-
sional strain of mainstream po-
etry — as epitomized by the likes
of Robert Lowell and John Ber-
ryman — through artful decon-
structions of language and form.
Language poetry, also known
as language writing, was largely
centered in the San Francisco
Bay Area and New York City. Ms.
Hejinian, who lived on 80 rural
acres in Mendocino County, Ca-
lif., about 140 miles north of San
Francisco, helped to seed the
movement in 1976, when she ac-
quired a manual letterpress and
started Tuumba Press, a show-
case for similarly inclined poets
including Rae Armantrout, Car-
la Harryman, Ron Silliman, and
Charles Bernstein.
Such writers were influenced
by early-20th-century modern-
ists such as Gertrude Stein, as
well as by contemporary Euro-
pean post-structuralists such as
Roland Barthes, who shook the
long-held assumption that a lit-
erary work necessarily comes
from a single, stable, authorial
point of view, with a coherent,
generally recognizable meaning.
“These poems are as much
about how they make meaning
as what they mean,” Bernstein, a
professor emeritus of English at
the University of Pennsylvania
who co-edited the newsletter
L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E during
the movement’s early years, said
stood at the bottom of the stairs,
younger, thinner than when he
had left, was purple — though
moments are no longer so col-
ored.
Seemingly incongruous, “a
moment yellow” was an impres-
sionistic, if nonspecific, charac-
terization of the moment, she
later said in an interview pub-
lished by Wesleyan University.
“Purple” conjured images of a
purple blanket or similar object
that she hazily recalled.
“Lyn was experimental not in
the sense that her work is aus-
tere or especially hard to appre-
ciate, but because her work plays
with form and pushes against
the borders of genre,” Arman-
trout wrote in an email. “It con-
tains snippets of narrative, philo-
sophical meditations, and Whit-
man-like catalogs in a unique
and engaging combination that
points to a world without limits.”
Carolyn Frances Hall was
born on May 17, 1941, in Alame-
da, Calif., the eldest of three chil-
dren of Chaffee Hall Jr., an ad-
ministrator at Berkeley, and Car-
olyn (Erskine) Hall, a book
editor. When she was 13, her fa-
ther accepted a job as the admin-
istrative director of Harvard’s
master of business administra-
tion program and the family set-
tled in Wayland, Mass.
When she was in the third or
fourth grade, she spent countless
hours huddling over a typewriter
her father gave her, churning out
her own stories and plays.
“Pounding the keys and see-
ing sentences emerge on the
page, I felt important and pow-
erful,” she said in the Berkeley
interview. “I was, in effect, es-
caping the limitations of gender.
I could imagine myself as any-
one and make it ‘real.’”
After graduating from Con-
cord Academy in Massachusetts
in 1959, she enrolled in Radcliffe
College. Two years later she mar-
ried John Hejinian, a medical
student. She graduated in 1963
with a bachelor’s degree in Eng-
lish literature.

‘Babar,’ 98 rights, and feminist movements

By Hillel Italie
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — “Babar” au-
thor Laurent de Brunhoff, who
revived his father’s popular pic-
ture book series about an ele-
phant-king and presided over its
rise to a global, multimedia fran-
chise, has died. He was 98.
Mr. de Brunhoff, a Paris na-
tive who moved to the United
States in the 1980s, died Friday
at his home in Key West, Fla., af-
ter being in hospice care for two
weeks, according to his widow,
Phyllis Rose.
Just 12 years old when his fa-
ther, Jean de Brunhoff, died of
tuberculosis, Laurent was an
adult when he drew upon his
own gifts as a painter and story-
teller and released dozens of
books about the elephant who
reigns over Celesteville, among
them “Babar at the Circus” and
“Babar’s Yoga for Elephants.” He
preferred using fewer words
than his father did, but his illus-
trations faithfully mimicked
Jean’s gentle, understated style.
“Together, father and son
have woven a fictive world so
seamless that it is nearly impos-
sible to detect where one
stopped and the other started,”
author Ann S. Haskell wrote in
The New York Times in 1981.
The series has sold millions
of copies worldwide and was
adapted for a television program
and such animated features as
“Babar: The Movie” and “Babar:
King of the Elephants.” Fans
ranged from Charles de Gaulle
to Maurice Sendak, who once
wrote, “If he had come my way,
how I would have welcomed that
little elephant and smothered
him with affection.”
Mr. de Brunhoff would say of
his creation, “Babar, c’est moi”
(“that’s me”), telling National
Geographic in 2014 that “he’s
been my whole life, for years and
years, drawing the elephant.”
The books’ appeal was far
HACHETTE VIA NEW YORK TIMES
from universal. Some parents
shied from the passage in the de-
but, “The Story of Babar, the Lit-
tle Elephant,” about Babar's
mother being shot and killed by
hunters. Numerous critics called
the series racist and colonialist,
citing Babar’s education in Paris
and its influence on his (pre-
sumed) Africa-based regime. In
1983, Chilean author Ariel Dorf-
man would call the books an
“implicit history that justifies
and rationalizes the motives be-
hind an international situation
in which some countries have
everything and other countries
almost nothing.”
“Babar’s history,” Dorfman
wrote, “is none other than the
fulfillment of the dominant
countries’ colonial dream.”
Adam Gopnik, a Paris-based
correspondent for The New
Yorker, defended “Babar,” writ-
ing in 2008 that it “is not an un-
conscious expression of the
French colonial imagination; it
is a self-conscious comedy about
the French colonial imagination
and its close relation to the
French domestic imagination.”
Mr. de Brunhoff himself ac-
knowledged finding it “a little
embarrassing to see Babar fight-
ing with Black people in Africa.
He especially regretted “Babar’s
Picnic,” a 1949 publication that
included crude caricatures of
Blacks and American Indians,
and asked his publisher to with-
draw it.
Mr. de Brunhoff was the el-
dest of three sons born to Jean
de Brunhoff and Cecile de Brun-
hoff, a painter. Babar was creat-
ed when Cecile de Brunhoff, the
namesake for the elephant’s
kingdom and Babar’s wife, im-
provised a story for her kids.
DE BRUNHOFF FAMILY VIA NEW YORK TIMES
Mr. de Brunhoff released dozens of “Babar” childrens books.
“My mother started to tell us
a story to distract us,” Mr. de
Brunhoff told National Geo-
graphic in 2014. “We loved it,
and the next day we ran to our
father’s study, which was in the
corner of the garden, to tell him
about it. He was very amused
and started to draw. And that
was how the story of Babar was
born. My mother called him Be-
be elephant (French for baby). It
was my father who changed the
name to Babar. But the first pag-
es of the first book, with the ele-
phant killed by a hunter and the
escape to the city, was her story.”
The debut was released in
1931 through the family-run
publisher Le Jardin Des Modes.
Babar was immediately well re-
ceived and Jean de Brunhoff
completed four more Babar
books before dying six years lat-
er, at age 37. Mr. de Brunhoff ’s
uncle, Michael, helped publish
two additional works, but no
one else added to the series until
after World War II, when Mr. de
Brunhoff, a painter by then, de-
cided to bring it back.
“Gradually I began to feel
strongly that a Babar tradition
existed and that it ought to be
perpetuated,” he wrote in The
New York Times in 1952.
Mr. de Brunhoff was married
twice, most recently to the critic
and biographer Phyllis Rose,
who wrote the text to many of
the recent “Babar” publications,
including the 2017 release billed
as the finale, “Babar’s Guide to
Paris.” He had two children,
Anne and Antoine, but the au-
thor did not consciously write
for young people.
“I never really think of chil-
dren when I do my books,” he
told the Wall Street Journal in
2017. “Babar was my friend and
I invented stories with him, but
not with kids in a corner of my
mind. I write it for myself.”
of the 1960s, Ms. Hejinian and
other aligned poets sought to
overturn the social order at the
literary level by exploring the
open text — a literary work that
allows for a multiplicity of points
of view and meanings.
In doing so, “The writer relin-
quishes total control and chal-
lenges authority as a principle
and control as a motive,” Ms. He-
jinian said in “The Rejection of
Closure,” an essay she delivered
at a 1983 panel discussion of po-
etry. Therefore, she explained,
the language poem “resists the
cultural tendencies that seek to
identify and fix material and turn
it into a product; that is, it resists
reduction and commodification.”
Ms. Hejinian savored her
place among the literary maver-
icks. “We attended and partici-
pated in poetry readings that
took place two or three or some-
times four times a week, talked
until late at night at bars,
launched literary journals, host-
ed radio shows, curated readings
and lecture series,” she said in a
2020 interview published by the
University of California, Berke-
ley, where she served on the Eng-
lish department faculty for two
decades starting in 2001.
“We had very little respect for
official academia,” she added,
“which, in turn, had very little
respect for us.”
In 1980, she published her
best-known work, “My Life,” a
book-length prose poem written
when she was 37 that included
37 sections, each composed of 37
sentences. (When she turned 45,
she expanded its structure to 45.)
With its use of ambiguous
language and disjunctive sen-
tences, the book forsook the tra-
ditional language of autobiogra-
phy, beginning with a haunting
evocation of Ms. Hejinian’s earli-
est memory, her father returning
from World War II:
A moment yellow, just as four
years later, when my father re-
turned home from the war, the
moment of greeting him, as he
around the time that he was
helping to form the eclectic Rova
Saxophone Quartet.
In addition to her husband
and children, Ms. Hejinian is
survived by her brother, Douglas
Hall; her sister, Marie Katrak;
and four grandchildren.
In 1982, Ms. Hejinian, with
poet Barrett Watten, started Po-
etics Journal, which for 16 years
published book-length volumes
featuring the work of language
writers such as Bruce Andrews
and Leslie Scalapino.
In 1980s, she made several
trips to the Soviet Union and
learned Russian, eventually
translating Arkadii Dragomosh-
chenko, a prominent Russian
Language poet, who became a
close friend.
Her own work continued to
evolve, with her later output be-
coming “looser and wilder,” Ar-
mantrout said, including her
syntactically challenging book-
length poem “ The Fatalist”
(2003), which probed the mys-
teries of fate and chance.
I adventure and consider fate
as occurrence and happen-
stance as destiny, I recite an epi-
graph
It seems as applicable to the
remark I want to make as disor-
der
is to order.
Pulitzer Prize-winning poet
John Ashbery called “The Fatal-
ist” “breathtaking,” citing the
line “That’s what fate is: whatev-
er’s happened.”
“In this sense, we are all fatal-
ists,” Ashbery wrote, “since
‘whatever’ has happened to us
all, and we all recognize it when
we see it. Yet it has seldom been
more sumptuously tallied, tabu-
lated and illuminated.”
In 2003, Ms. Hejinian re-
turned to familiar ground, pub-
lishing the 10-part work “My
Life in the Nineties,” in which
she wrote that “everyone is out
of place in a comedy.”
“We are all clowns,” she said
in an interview with the Poetry
Foundation. “And we feel that.”

A quiet county in Maine braces for the arrival of ‘eclipse geeks’

By Jenna Russell
NEW YORK TIMES
HOULTON, Maine — For
generations, visitors to Maine
have flocked east to the rocky
coastline, with its lobster boats
and crashing waves, or west to
ski resorts, peaceful lakes, and
mountains. Few ever set foot in
Aroostook County, a remote
northern expanse where resi-
dents are prone to suspect — not
without reason — that no one
south of Bangor even knows that
they exist.
So the news that “the Coun-
ty,” as it is known in Maine,
would be smack in the path of
totality for next month’s solar
eclipse — making it a destina-
tion for potentially thousands of
visitors — has generated mixed
emotions in this proudly unpre-
tentious place. Accustomed to
ceding the spotlight to showy
spots like Bar Harbor, some in
the county are not sure how they
feel about its fleeting status as
the place to be.
“It’s a little new for us here, so
it is stressful,” said Lindsay An-
derson, manager of Brookside
Bakery in Houlton, a town of
6,000 that borders Canada,
where the plan for eclipse week-
end includes baking 500 whoop-
ie pies, Maine’s official “state
treat.”
Next door at Market Square
Antiques and Pawn, a compact
shop watched over by several
mounted deer heads, Tom Wil-
lard, a co-owner, had worries of
his own.
Christina Carrol displayed eclipse tie-dye shirts she and her
family made to sell at her store in Houlton, Maine.
“Where are 20,000 people go-
ing to pee?” he asked.
No one knows how many
people will travel to Aroostook
County for the eclipse on April 8,
making planning a bit of a rou-
lette spin. Estimates range from
10,000 to 40,000, though the
turnout may be curtailed by
sheer distance. Extending north
beyond the end of Interstate 95
to the Canadian border — where
the little-known, combat-free
Aroostook War raged from 1838-
39 — the county is about as large
as Rhode Island and Connecti-
cut combined. Caribou, near its
northern apex, lies 400 miles
north of Boston, a drive of more
than six hours.
For eclipse fanatics, though,

McGlaun, 60, who has seen 15

cated to the one next month,
said he had once traveled to
French Polynesia and hiked “8
miles through banana plants in-
to the middle of nowhere” in or-
der to be — for 1.5 seconds — the
only person on earth in the path
of the eclipse, by his own estima-
tion.
“Eclipse geeks, we’re a weird
lot,” he conceded.
Northern Maine is not the
only remote corner of the coun-
try expecting an influx. The path
of totality also crosses places in-
cluding the Ozarks, the Choctaw
Nation in Oklahoma, and sec-
tions of southern Texas, all of
them hoping to capitalize on the
fleeting attention.
In Aroostook County, where
potato farms abound and practi-
cality is paramount, tales like
McGlaun’s only add to the gener-
al wariness. It does not help that
the eclipse will take place during
northern New England’s infa-
mous mud season, when the
thawing earth turns into tire-
sucking muck, heightening con-
cerns that unsuspecting drivers
“from away” will get stuck on ru-
ral roads and have to be pulled
out.
Also not helping: memories
of the last major influx, in Au-
gust 1997, when an outdoor con-
cert festival by the band Phish
drew 65,000 fans to a former air
force base in Limestone, a town
of 1,500. Locals who had scoffed
at attendance projections were

traffic gridlock and emptying

pitched battles over develop-
ment playing out elsewhere in
the Commonwealth — and a
glimpse of the future we’ll all
need to embrace, if we’re going
to make it.
For over six decades, this part of Salem was
home to one of the country’s dirtiest coal-fired
power plants. Folks suffered through the filth
that plant generated, the wind blowing dust off
the giant black piles onto their houses and cars
and everything else. Clunky mechanical convey-
ors carried the fuel up into the plant at all hours.
“It would make this noise, ‘Da-da-da-da-da,’
day and night,” recalled Barbara Kelly, who lives
nearby. For years, Kelly, her neighbors, and an
army of environmentalists fought to get rid of
the coal plant. It finally closed in 2014.
Now the future will rise in its place. Part of
the site will become the Salem Offshore Wind
Terminal, a hub for storing and assembling the
components for wind turbines installed up and
down the coast of New England.
It’s a massive project, and for a time it will be
pretty disruptive for neighbors who have already
put up with a lot. But the residents — many part
of the Salem Alliance for the Environment —
who fought to shut down the coal plant were al-
ways going to back using the site to support the
offshore wind industry.
It’s not just because they directly suffered
from proximity to fossil fuel power. They are also
being confronted regularly by the effects of cli-
mate change, with more frequent high tides and
storm surges bringing water flooding into their
neighborhoods from Collins Cove and elsewhere.
Threats that imminent can get a community to
YIMBY quickly when it comes to clean energy.
“Salem is a community aware of the climate
crisis,” said Mayor Dominick Pangallo, who grew
up a mile from the coal pile. “The sea can sink

our survival, but comes with costs for those who
host its infrastructure, as opposition to wind
farms off the Cape and islands shows. And we
are going to need a lot more of it, including in
places unaccustomed to hosting infrastructure.
In Salem, the neighborhoods around the stag-
ing facility will see more traffic and noise, espe-
cially between the time the project gets under-
way in April and its expected completion in
2026. It’s only right that Crowley soften the blow
for a community that has, after all, already suf-
fered more than enough.
Now, this city that epitomized our dirty past
will be a beacon for Massachusetts, a symbol of
how we can all move forward — courtesy of the
same wind that once blackened its homes.

Federal prosecutors are mulling their next step in

against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who, along with his
brother, detonated bombs at the Boston Marathon

260 others.

Spring snowstorm hits Northern N.E., rain in Mass.

Flood watch in
effect until
Sunday morning
By Bailey Allen
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Winter made a return visit

to New England on Saturday as
Massachusetts was soaked in
pouring rain, with a flood
watch in effect, and its neigh-
boring states to the north were
blanketed in snow.
About 100 eager skiers were
lined up at the lift at Gunstock
Mountain Resort in Gilford,
N.H., before it opened at 8 a.m.
S a t u r d a y, r e a d y t o h i t t h e
slopes, said general manager
Tom Day in a phone interview.
“We haven’t seen this in a
while because the month of
March has been a little dreary,
as far as snow and winter-type
weather,” Day said. “So every-
body gets jacked up to see this
kind of snow — nice, fluffy
snow.”
Day was excited about the
spontaneous “boost” of snow,
now that it’s spring and with
just about a week left in the ski
season, he said.
“The season pass holders,
the diehard skiers — they’ll go
right up to the end,” Day said.
“ We were joking with them,
and I said, ‘What’s all this white
stuff coming out of the sky? It’s
weird.’ ”

shire, Waterville Valley had

“These avalanches may be

The Rev. Kevin Peterson called on white churches in Boston to support reparations for
slavery during a news conference Saturday in Roxbury.
Clergy members call on ‘white
churches’ to back reparations
By Laura Crimaldi
GLOBE STAFF
On the eve of Holy Week, a
group of Black and white clergy
members gathered Saturday in
Roxbury to call on “white
churches” in Boston to back rep-
arations for the trans-Atlantic
slave trade and provide financial
support for an effort by investing
in the city’s Black community.
The clergy members deliv-
ered their message at a news
conference organized by the Bos-
ton People’s Reparations Com-
mission, an independent group
of activists who have called on
the City of Boston to spend $15
billion on reparations.
“We call sincerely and with a
heart filled with faith and Chris-
tian love for our white churches
to join us and not be silent
around this issue of racism and
slavery and commit to repara-
tions,” said the Rev. Kevin Peter-
son, a minister known for his
push to rename Faneuil Hall be-
cause of its namesake’s ties to
the 18-century slave trade.
“We point to them in Chris-
tian love to publicly atone for the
sins of slavery and we ask them
to publicly commit to a process
of reparations where they will
extend their great wealth — tens
of millions of dollars among
some of those churches — into
the Black community,” said Pe-
terson.
Edwin Sumpter, co-director
of the Boston People’s Repara-
tions Commission, said the news
conference marked the first time
in city history that clergy from
different houses of worship con-
vened to show support for repa-
rations. The event was planned
to be held outdoors, Sumpter
said, but relocated to the base-
ment of Resurrection Lutheran
Church because of rain.
Peterson said an open letter
signed by 16 clergy and faith
leaders was sent Friday to sever-
al churches that the Boston Peo-
ple’s Reparations Commission
wants to support reparations in
the city. The letter, which was
provided to the Globe, lists ways
the churches could provide repa-
rations, including cash pay-
ments, creating affordable hous-
ing, and helping to back new “fi-
nancial and economic institu-
tions in Black Boston.”
The letter went to King’s Cha-
pel downtown and Arlington
Street Church, Trinity Church,
and Old South Church in Back
Bay, which were established in
the 17th and 18th centuries, Pe-

terson said in an interview.
The Rev. John E. Gibbons of
Arlington Street Church said at
the news conference that a num-
ber of churches have begun to
research their history and dis-
cuss reparations.
“That is not enough,” said
Gibbons, who has collaborated
with Peterson on the push to re-
name Faneuil Hall. “Somehow
we need to move with some ur-
gency toward action and so part
of what we’re doing is to prod
and encourage white churches
to go beyond what they have
done thus far.”
The Rev. Joy Fallon, senior
minister at King’s Chapel, said
the congregation is creating a
memorial to enslaved persons
and is working on establishing a
charitable fund to support social
justice and reconciliation. Re-
search paid for by the church
has identified at least 219 people
who were owned by ministers
and congregation members over
hundreds of years, the Globe re-
ported last year.
“Our first focus has been on
history because we’re located on
the Freedom Trail and have an
unusual ability to tell visitors
about Boston’s Colonial connec-
tion to slavery including our
church’s,” Fallon said in a phone
interview.
In an email, the Rev. John
Edgerton, senior minister at Old
South Church, applauded the
commission and Peterson. The
church has published a report
about congregation members
who enslaved people.
“Old South is committed to
learning the truth about our his-
tory and making repair — the
God who loves justice demands
nothing less,” Edgerton wrote.
Messages left Saturday after-
noon seeking comment from
Trinity Church weren’t returned.
In 2022, a task force at Trini-
ty Church published a report
documenting the congregation’s
connections to the slave trade.
The City of Boston estab-
lished a Task Force on Repara-
tions in 2022. To support the
group’s work, the city has hired
two teams of researchers to help
craft a report on a reparations
program.
Last year, the city opened an
exhibit at Faneuil Hall that docu-
mented Boston’s ties to slavery,
which was common in parts of
Massachusetts Bay Colony.

New trial sought in case linked to police beating of Michael Cox

the verdict and asking for a new
trial.
In 1999, a judge rejected his
request for a new trial, and four
years later the state Supreme Ju-
dicial Court affirmed his convic-
tion.
While Evans admits to lead-
ing police on the chase, he has
always insisted he had nothing
to do with the shooting of Jack-
son, his lawyer said. In court pa-
pers, Evans says he’s found two
new witnesses who say he wasn’t
in the Roxbur y restaurant ,
Walaikum’s Burger, when gun-
fire erupted, as well as previous-
ly undisclosed ballistics evidence
and other revelations to chal-
lenge what jurors heard at his
1996 trial.
“The aim here should be to
determine whether or not justice
was done and whether or not
you have the right person serv-
ing the rest of their life in pris-
on,” said Amy Codagnone, a Bos-
ton attorney who represents Ev-
ans, in a recent phone interview.
“There are some real questions
here in terms of whether or not
they have the right person.”
Cox, who became Boston po-
lice commissioner in 2022, and
the department declined to com-
ment through an agency spokes-
person. The Suffolk district at-
torney’s office, which prosecuted
the case, had no comment, ac-
cording to a spokesperson.
In court papers, prosecutors
said they oppose Evans’s request
for a new trial.
“Justice was done,” Suffolk
Assistant District Attorney Paul
B. Linn wrote. “ There was a
wealth of evidence that the de-
fendant was guilty of the victim’s
murder both as a principal and
an accessory.”

ing jury selection.
Tsarnaev, 30, currently sits
on death row at a federal super-
max prison in Colorado.
Marc Fucarile, a Marathon
survivor who lost his leg in the
blast, said it was “ridiculous”
that Tsarnaev is able to appeal
his death sentence by claiming
juror bias even though he admit-
ted he was guilty of the bomb-
ings.
“Our court system is so bro-
ken,” Fucarile said. “We’re still
mutilated. Everybody who died
is still dead and now we’re con-
tinuing to waste money on this
fool.”
Fucarile, who went through
years of rehabilitation and uses a
prosthetic and a wheelchair, said
he wishes he could forget about
Tsarnaev, but “every day I live
with the reminder of what he
did.”
In Thursday’s 74-page ruling,
Cox. Codagnone is asking a state
judge to order the FBI and US at-
torney’s office to provide records
of any interviews with witnesses
to the killing and with officers
who were investigating the mur-
der that night. Both agencies de-
clined to comment.
She is also asking a judge to
order the Suffolk district attor-
ney’s office and Boston police to
provide records about the inves-
tigation into the attack on Cox,
court records show.
Codagnone said she’s en-
countered difficulty getting such
records, which she believes
could shed light on the credibili-
ty of officers who investigated
Jackson’s killing. A hearing on
the requests is scheduled for
April 19 in Suffolk Superior
Court, court records show.
Evans, his brother, Jimmy,
and two other men, Rober t
Brown III and Ronald Tinsley,
stood trial together for the kill-
ing of Jackson, who died about a
week after he was shot. The
brothers were convicted of first-
degree murder and other charg-
es and are serving life sentences,
court records show. Brown, 52,
was acquitted of all charges, and
Tinsley was convicted of cocaine
possession, but cleared of other
counts, records show.
Brown later testified for the
prosecution at a criminal trial
against a Boston police officer
who arrested him that night and
was accused in 1997 of lying to a
federal grand jury about the at-
tack on Cox. The officer, Ken-
neth M. Conley, has always in-
sisted he didn’t see Cox being
beaten. A federal jury convicted
him of perjury, but the convic-
tion was later overturned by a
federal judge and an appeals
court panel. A civil jury in a law-
suit brought by Cox also cleared
Conley of wrongdoing. He re-
turned to the department in
2006, and has attained the rank

founded the program in 2019.
Credle spent five years in federal
prison on drug charges, and said
that when she was released in
2018, she was shocked by how
many people had nowhere to go.
As a result, they were unable to
regain custody of their children.
Credle said the Justice 4
Housing programs including
SHARP succeed because they
are highly individualized — the
program looks to find exactly
what the person needs to stay on
their feet, and then helps them
get those services.
“We take the time to get to
know the person,” she said.
Boyd Price said he’s been
working to get used to freedom
after he did 42 years for homi-
cide. He’s been out for 3½ years,
but he’s still switching away
from the regimented prison life
and back into a changed world.
“I have to reprogram my
mind to something that’s not
governed by bells,” said Price,
who’s in a Justice 4 Housing re-
entry program in Dorchester.
But one thing’s for sure: “I defi-
nitely do not want to go back,”
Judge William Kayatta Jr., joined
by Judge O. Rogeriee Thompson,
wrote that if the trial judge finds
after further investigation that
the two jurors were biased, then
Tsarnaev is entitled to a new tri-
al on whether he should be sen-
tenced to death or life in prison.
The decision comes two years
after the US Supreme Court rein-
stated Tsarnaev’s death sen-
tence, ruling that the appeals
court had erred when it over-
turned that sentence on the
grounds that he didn’t get a fair
trial. In January 2023, defense
lawyers were back before the ap-
peals court, where they argued
about a number of issues — in-
cluding claims that two jurors
had lied during the panel’s selec-
tion and that the trial should not
have been held in the same city
as the bombings.
On Thursday, the appeals
court found that the trial judge,
US District Judge George A.
O’Toole Jr., erred by denying a

John Evans is seeking a new trial after he was convicted of
first-degree murder in 1996.
Brown was also a witness for
Cox in his federal civil rights trial
against several officers.
And he figures into Evans’s
request for a new trial.
In court papers, Codagnone
wrote that in 1998 and 2006,
Brown gave accounts of Evans
being outside Walaikum’s Burg-
er during the shooting. He first
shared the information with a
previous lawyer for Evans, she
wrote, and later told the same
story to former Globe journalist
Dick Lehr, who interviewed
Brown while researching “The
Fence,” his book about the beat-
ing of Cox and the police cover-
up.
Brown could not be reached
for comment.
The events of Jan. 25, 1995
began at Cortee’s, a Dorchester
nightclub, where John Evans, of
Brockton, was celebrating his
25th birthday with his brother,
he said.
Credle said the housing
comes through partnerships
with local landlords and real es-
tate brokers. She said they’ve
been happy to continue the pro-
gram, so, “We’ve changed the
narrative.” She said the next step
for grads who want it is first-
time homebuyer programs.
Arminta Graham, one of the
graduates, said she had a hard
time getting housing due to her
criminal record. She ne ver
imagined she would be home-
less, but that’s how she found
herself.
“I was completely disap-
pointed, stressed out, going cra-
zy,” she said. So she said she’s
very grateful for the program,
which allowed her to finally
have stable housing.
Demetria McCain, principal
deputy assistant secretary for
fair housing and equal opportu-
nity for the US Department of
Housing and Urban Develop-
ment, said the agency is work-
ing to ensure that people who
have criminal records have ac-
cess to housing.

Shortly before 2 a.m., gunfire

Holliday testified that he saw
Evans fire a silver handgun out-
side the nightclub and then run
away, court records show. Evans
denies firing a gun outside Cort-
ee’s, according to court papers.
Also in his request for a new tri-

closed results from ballistics
testing showed the gun fired
outside Cortee’s was different
from the firearm used to kill
Jackson later at Walaikum’s

After gunshots rang out at
Cortee’s, Jackson, his friend, and
another man drove to Walai-
kum’s Burger. The Evans broth-
ers, Brown, and Tinsley arrived
at the same restaurant about 15
minutes later, prosecutors said.
Gunfire erupted inside the
restaurant, Linn wrote in court
papers, with one witness testify-
ing that a man pointed a gun at
him, but let him go and a second
assailant shot Jackson, who was
on his back in a corner.

after Brown, who was in the Lex-
us and vaulted a fence to try to
escape police, court records
show. Officers arrested Brown,
the Evans brothers, and Tinsley
at the scene.
Codagnone said the investi-
gation into the fatal shooting
lacked details.
“There wasn’t a ton of investi-
gation into who actually did the
shooting,” she said. “Shutting
this down quickly and stopping
the investigation into what hap-
pened that evening was ... incen-
tivized by ... that sort of blue wall
of silence where they were trying
to shut down the investigation
into what happened to Commis-
sioner Cox.”
Prosecutors disagree.
The attack on Cox “at the
scene of the defendants’ arrest
and the police coverup of that
beating ... were disgraceful epi-
sodes that stained the reputation
of the Boston Police Depart-
ment. Nonetheless, they do not

of his Facebook friends had com-
mented on the trial, yet one
friend had urged him to “play
the part” so he could get on the
jury and send Tsarnaev “to jail
where he will be taken care of.”
“When Tsarnaev presented
the district court with plausible
claims of juror bias, the court
was obliged to investigate those
claims,” Kayatta wrote. “And we
conclude that the district court’s
investigation fell short of what
was constitutionally required.”
Attorney Brian T. Kelly, a for-
mer federal prosecutor, said trial
judges “typically have broad dis-

At the 1996 trial, Jackson’s
mother testified she got a tele-
phone call and ran around the
corner to Walaikum’s Burger,
where rescuers were loading her
son into an ambulance, Lehr

family didn’t respond to recent
requests for comment.
Evans’s request for a new tri-
al includes sworn statements
from two people who say they
were at the restaurant at the
time of the shooting and assert
that he wasn’t the shooter. One
of the witnesses wrote in an affi-
davit that he was inside Walai-
kum’s Burger, saw the two al-
leged gunmen, and neither one
was Evans.
The second witness said in
her affidavit that she didn’t see
the shooting, but Evans wasn’t
involved because he was outside
the restaurant with her when
gunfire erupted inside the build-
ing.
In court papers, Linn said the
new accounts disclosed by the
defense don’t offer information
that wasn’t shared with the jury
in 1996 when the owner of
Walaikum’s Burger testified he
didn’t see Evans in the restau-
rant that night.
But Codagnone said the testi-
mony of the restaurant owner at
the trial fell flat because he
couldn’t identify Evans in the
courtroom, so the two new wit-
nesses is significant.
Daniel Collins, a private in-
vestigator who runs Level Inves-

case, said it seems like Evans
“wasn’t given a fair shake.”

GOP in Congress attack $1.8m in Women & Infants funding

By Edward Fitzpatrick
GLOBE STAFF
PROVIDENCE — Congressio-
nal Republicans are criticizing
the $1.8 million that Rhode Is-
land’s Demo-
cratic senators
secured for the
midwifery unit
a t Wo m e n &
Infants Hospi-
tal because the
Providence facility provides
abortion services in other parts
of the hospital.
The House approved a $1.2
trillion package of spending bills
on Friday just a few hours before
funding for some key federal
agencies was set to expire, but
some Republicans blasted the
earmarks, or “pork,” included in
the spending plan.
For example, Representative
Robert B. Aderholt, an Alabama
Republican, objected to 12 ear-
marks from Democratic sena-
tors, including the $1.8 million
that Rhode Island Senators Jack
Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse
secured for the Women & In-
fants Hospital project. The hos-
pital’s family-planning clinic
provides abortion and related
services, to which Aderholt ob-
jects.
And on Thursday, Senator
Mike Lee, a Utah Republican,
criticized Democratic earmarks,
saying, “We’re spending millions
of taxpayer dollars on radical pet
projects that only serve to weak-
en and divide our country, cul-
turally and economically.”
As an example, Lee said cited
“$1.8 million for a hospital in
Rhode Island that performs
abortions, including late-term
abortions.”
Reed’s office defended the
funding on Friday, noting that
those abortion services are legal
and that those services have
nothing to do with the project,
which aims to help women safe-
ly give birth.
“ Women & Infants offers
high-quality health care to ev-
eryone who walks through their
doors,” Reed said. “It’s a gem of a
hospital and a state and national
leader when it comes to materni-

ty care. You’d have to be either
really cynical or deeply misin-
formed to attack this type of fed-
eral investment to help birthing
mothers, improve health out-
comes for newborns, and save
taxpayers money.”
Four out five families from
Rhode Island give birth at Wom-
en & Infants Hospital, which is
the largest obstetrical facility in
the state, the second-largest in
New England, and the 11th larg-
est stand-alone obstetrical ser-
vice in the country.
Reed, a member of the Ap-
propriations Subcommittee on
Labor, Health and Human Ser-
vices, and Education, said, “I
will continue standing up for
women’s rights to access health
care and choose how they want
to give birth. Birthing and repro-
ductive plans should be decided
by expectant moms and their
partners, not MAGA Republi-
cans.”
‘You’d have to be either really cynical or
deeply misinformed to attack this type
of federal investment to help birthing
mothers, improve health outcomes for
newborns, and save taxpayers money.’
SENATOR JACK REED, Democrat from Rhode Island
Whitehouse said, “Just about
every person in Rhode Island
has experience at Women and
Infants, whether they were born
at the hospital, or they know
someone whose life was saved or
whose infant was painstakingly
cared for in the NICU.”
Republicans have proposed
amendments to get rid of the
$1.8 million and other Demo-
cratic earmarks.
“This last-minute amend-
ment is another egregious and
all-too-common example of Re-
publicans reaching outside of
their states to meddle with the
health and the choices of women
in other parts of the country,”
Whitehouse said. “We will not
allow it in Rhode Island, and we
must not allow this amendment
to pass.”
In 2019, the Rhode Island
General Assembly passed the
Reproductive Privacy Act, which
protected abortion rights in
Rhode Island in case the US Su-
preme Court overturned Roe v.
Wade — as it did in 2022. And in
JONATHAN WIGGS/GLOBE STAFF
2023, the Assembly passed the
Equality in Abortion Coverage
Act, allowing state employees
and Medicaid recipients to re-
ceive health insurance coverage
for all abortions.
But according to Reed’s of-
fice, the $1.8 million would not
be spent on abortion services
and would go into a nationally
accredited, in-hospital Along-
side Midwifer y Unit beside
Women & Infants’ new labor and
delivery center.
Many leading maternity hos-
pitals utilize these types of units,
which are designed to provide
specialized birthing care to
women, infants, and families in
a more relaxed environment, ac-
cording to Reed’s office. They of-
fer expectant mothers a birthing
option closer to a home birth ex-
perience, but with the added
safety, workforce, and resources
of a world-class hospital on site.
The unit would give healthy
women the option to give birth
in a dedicated space with a hom-
ier-like atmosphere under the
supervision of experienced mid-
wives, who are highly skilled
health practitioners who have
undertaken specialized training,
according to Reed’s office. Mid-
wives can provide pregnant peo-
ple with comprehensive care
across the duration of their preg-
nancy, labor and birth, and
throughout the postnatal period.
The appropriations package
includes $31.1 million in federal
earmarks for a variety of Rhode
Island projects secured by Reed,
a senior member of the Appro-
priations Committee and chair-
man of the Legislative Branch
subcommittee.
That is in addition to the
$122.7 million in Reed-backed
earmarks included in the appro-
priations package that was
signed into law earlier this
month.
Besides the Women & Infants
project, the earmarks secured by
Reed include:
• $2.17 million for Rhode Is-
land Student Assistance Services
to provide substance-use preven-
tion and mental health services
• $1.5 million for the expan-
sion of Br yant University ’s
School of Health and Behavioral
Sciences
• $1.45 million for Hope &
Main’s Food Business Incubator
• $1.32 million to upgrade
The Providence Center’s tele-

• $1.27 million for technolo-
gy upgrades for Rhode Island

at the University of Rhode Island
• $650,000 for the Rhode Is-

INNOVATOR Q&A

Firm with a global reach began with a DIY raincoat

Susan Coulbourn Mocarski remem-
bers getting stopped in the streets any
time she traveled about 14 years ago.
Bikers and walkers would approach her,
especially in New York City, and inquire
about her rain poncho, which was big
enough to cover her bags and made well
enough to keep her dry. She sewed it
herself.
An avid no-car commuter, Mocar-
ski’s DIY raincoat was born out of neces-
sity. At the time, she was searching for
high-performance women’s outerwear
and was coming up short. So she made
something for herself, and was stunned
by the number of people who’d notice it
and ask her where they could get one.
From there, Mocarski founded Clev-
erhood — a Providence-based company
that designs and manufactures high-
performance outerwear and rain gear,
including rain capes, snow capes, jack-
ets, bags, cardigans, and more. The
company has international reach, and
Mocarski is always on the hunt for ways
to make the products even better.
The Globe caught up with Mocarski
about her business, how it’s evolved
over the years, and goals for the future.
Have you always been somebody
that sews your own clothes?
I think I’m more of an engineer.
Making things work just makes sense to
me. In terms of sewing, I could get
there. I mean, if you looked at the
seams, it wasn’t spectacular. But I had
enough ability to kind of prototype and
do all that sort of stuff.
What’s the benefit of a rain cape
versus a raincoat?
So, the utility of a high-performance
rain poncho is that it covers all of your
stuff — your bag, your backpack. You’ve
probably worn a plastic poncho. But
with something more substantial, it’s
not going to flip around, and it’s not go-
ing to be disposable.
Also, when I was playing around
with this, to go biking, I just put two
thumb loops on the underside of the
front. Just two elastics so I could hold
the handle bars of the bike, and I was
astounded with how well that worked.
It gives you lots of airflow, it covers your
pedaling legs, it covers all your gear if
you’re wearing a messenger bag. But
you’re not sweating out, which is anoth-
er issue when you’re cycling or walking
to work.
There’s a design element, too, and
we’ve gotten design awards. We’re in
the Museum of Modern Art stores and
other design stores. I think that’s the
“clever” in the whole thing.
What’s your best-selling product?
The rain poncho, or rain cape, is our
core product. Eighty-five percent of our
sales are that. It has become a real go-to
among bike commuters, which is really
nice, and other companies are now
making them, which — I wouldn’t have
started this company if I could have
found one years ago. But it’s been great.
Making rainwear is definitely our
specialty and the underlying theme is
trying to get people comfortable with
going out of their car and not retreat-
ing. Continuing to walk. Continuing to
grab a bike share. Because it’s not that
bad out there.
Where are the products manufac-
tured now?
Technical rainwear isn’t made in the
US anymore, with the exception of the
US military because they’re in compli-
ance. So when I first started, I set out to
make the products in the US. I started
in New Jersey and kind of bounced
around everywhere. And we worked
with mostly all military contractors. I
eventually got a lot of our production
back to Fall River, and that was really
exciting.
But when COVID hit, all of our plac-
es, ones in New Jersey, Oakland, and
Fall River, closed. The quality sewists
that can do this technical stuff are most-
ly really old. So when COVID hit, most
of these places closed, and a couple of

them went and did personal masks and
gear for hospitals. So we were out of in-
ventory and I just took a moment to as-
sess. We had been looking at a really
nice, small manufacturer in Vietnam, so
we jumped into production with them.
And I’m really glad we did take that risk
because at that moment, so many peo-
ple were out of public transportation, so
our business picked up quite a bit.
What are the products made out
of?
They’re mostly polyester. We’ve got-
ten to the point where we’re now 100
percent recycled polyester. There’s also
a sheer membrane that’s attached to the
inside of the garment, it can be one lay-
er or two layers. And then on the out-
side there’s a durable water repellent.
I’ve been focusing on sustainability
and how we can do these things with
materials that are earth-friendly, with-
out sacrificing the ability to keep people
dry. One of the most sustainable things
we really can do is make a garment
that’s going to last.
As a marketing analysis showed,
people hang on to these for 14 years, 10
years. So I’m really happy to see the lon-
gevity of the garments being a very criti-
cal, sustainable feature.
How big is your team?
Right now we’re four and a half, and
we’ve been as big as six people.
How big is your inventory?
We usually produce about 3,000 per
production run, and that’s across sizes
and colors, and we usually go through
that in about eight to nine months.

Beyond maple syrup: Interest

BLOTTER TALES

Truck’s roof
peeled off
like a can top
Every day, police officers respond to
reports of all sorts of events and non-
events, most of which never make the
news. Here is a sampling of lesser-
known — but no less noteworthy — in-
cidents from police log books (a.k.a.
blotters) in our suburbs.

STORROWED IN THE SUBURBS, YET

AGAIN
On March 12, the top of a tractor-
trailer came off like a tin can after the
truck hit a bridge in Westborough. Po-
lice shared a photo of the aftermath of
the accident, which showed the roof
dangling off the back of the truck like a
sheet of crinkled aluminum foil. “Well
it was bound to happen again,” police
wrote on Facebook. “Earlier today
there was another bridge strike.
Thankfully the vehicle was not stuck,
avoiding any traffic delays. We want to
again thank Ted’s Towing for their as-
sistance.” Several commenters weighed

in with observations, including one
who compared the truck’s roof to an Erin and Jaymes Vazquez with their 4-year-old son Landon at their Warwick, R.I. home. Landon was diagnosed last August with a rare lung disease.

For Landon, and for others like him

“easy open” top that you’d find on a can
of food. Another suggested that the
bridge should be emblazoned with little
decals of trucks that have fallen victim
to it, “just like warplanes or tanks
would have signifying the battles that
they won.” (We here at Blotter Tales
second that motion...) “We need to be
proud that bridge stands strong and
undefeated,” the commenter added.
“It’s constantly challenged — isn’t it
time we honor it for its victories?”
FUNCTION HALL BRAWL
Things got a little out of control at
the Sons of Italy hall in Watertown on
the night of Feb. 7. At around 10 p.m.,
an argument near the bar led to a
physical altercation, according to De-
tective Sergeant Kenneth Swift. During
the fracas, a 46-year-old Watertown
man allegedly punched someone in the
face, fracturing the victim’s orbital
bone. The alleged assailant was arrest-
ed two days later and charged with as-
sault and battery on someone over 60
causing bodily harm, Swift said.
EMBARRASSING MOMENT
At 12:54 p.m. March 9, a person
walked into the police station in Stow
with a handcuff locked onto his wrist.
According to the police log entry, he
told police it happened “while playing
with his friends.” Police called the fire
department to help remove the hand-
cuff, which firefighters successfully ac-
complished.
WHO LET THE LOGS OUT?
On Feb. 10, Sandwich police
launched a water rescue operation that
was all for naught. “A call was received
about a dog stuck in the marsh be-
tween the Wood Avenue parking lot
and the Boardwalk,” police wrote on
Facebook. “Animal Control was dis-
patched and after donning his gear and
trekking out to rescue it, the ACO dis-
covered the dog was actually a log that
did not require saving.” Police took the
incident in stride, writing on Face-
book: “Who let the logs out?”
THE LAST OF HIS SAMURAI
At 1:22 p.m. Jan. 10, a resident of
Harris Circle in Arlington stopped by
the police station because she wanted
to get of rid of her brother’s sword col-
lection, which included military and
samurai blades and scabbards. The
woman told police her brother had
agreed to remove the swords from the
house. Police were happy to oblige, and
said the swords would be tagged for de-
struction.
RACCOON RESCUE
At 4:13 p.m. Jan. 31, a resident of
Virginia Road in Arlington informed
the town’s animal control officer that a
raccoon was stuck in a sewer, or storm
drain. A crew from the Department of
Public Works came to the rescue and
opened up the grate to free the trapped
animal. The raccoon was lifted out with
a net and then released back into the
wild.

WARWICK, R.I. — Landon Vazquez
is on a sugar rush, jumping between his
Mario Brothers Lego set in the living
room, a Bluey Lego set in the family
room, and canisters of Play-Doh in the
kitchen at the frenetic pace of any five-
year-old with a vivid imagination and a
stomach full of Sour Patch Kids.
Soon he’ll dump a box of Mario-
themed stuffed animals on the floor
and lie down among them in his brown
sweater and jeans. There’s a mischie-
vous smile, his deep brown eyes light
up, and you realize he’s not taking a
rest; he’s plotting his next move. And
sure enough, off he goes.
It’s the kind of behavior you’d expect
from a kindergartner after a day at
school, but the palpable look of relief on
the faces of Landon’s parents, Erin and
Jaymes, is a reminder that this type of
energy has been anything but ordinary
for their oldest son over the past year.
Sometime last April, Landon devel-
oped what seemed to be a standard cold
that he just couldn’t kick. His dry cough
was persistent, but his parents’ biggest
worry was that he was unusually ex-
hausted, unable to climb the stairs in
their Warwick, R.I., home and prefer-
ring to sit on the sidelines at soccer
practice.
So their pediatrician recommended
a series of tests, and it turned out
Landon had dangerously low hemoglo-
bin levels. A blood transfusion was or-
dered. Iron supplements were pre-
scribed.
“When I tell you they ran test after
test,” Erin recalls. ”They thought he
might be anemic.”
Landon started to feel better later in
the spring, but the symptoms crept
back up. He wanted to sleep all of the
time. His skin appeared to have a yel-
low tint. His hemoglobin levels dropped
again, so another transfusion followed.
Just before school started in August,
Landon’s dry cough returned. While sit-
ting in the parking lot of their pediatri-
cian’s office, he vomited — and Erin im-
mediately noticed the blood. He was
rushed to Hasbro Children’s Hospital
and ended up in the ICU for 10 days.
He got a bronchotomy, and a biopsy
was ordered on his lungs.
The diagnosis: idiopathic pulmo-
nary hemosiderosis, or IPH, a rare lung
disease that causes bleeding in the lung
air sacs and can be fatal without proper
Saving New Hampshire’s rarest plants from extinction
By Amanda Gokee
GLOBE STAFF
CONCORD, N.H. — The plant is so
rare that it only exists in three locations
on Earth. All are within an 18-kilometer
stretch of the Connecticut River, and
two of the places it grows are in New
Hampshire. The third is right across the
river in Vermont.
It’s called Jesup’s milk-vetch, and it’s
a type of small pea plant that’s in danger
of extinction. It landed it on the federal-
ly endangered list in 1987.
Now, Michael Piantedosi, director of
conservation at the Massachusetts non-
profit Native Plant Trust, is going to
great lengths to preserve the plant, and
those efforts kick into overdrive during
the summer months.
Piantedosi said he’s growing a few
hundred plants in a greenhouse. Start-
therapy.
The Vazquezes live on a quiet cul-de-
sac in Warwick’s Cowesett neighbor-
hood, five minutes from I-95 but tucked
away in enough woods that they regu-
larly see deer run through the backyard.
One can imagine Landon and his two
little brothers some day building forts
and playing hide-and-seek for hours on
end.
Erin, 34, works in human resources
at Hasbro, and Jaymes, 36, works at a
Porsche dealership. They bought their

two-story Colonial during the pandem-
ic, shortly after Landon was born.
They’ve since had two more boys: Der-
ek is two, and Brooks is just five
months. A Google image search of the
house shows a large Mario balloon at-
tached to the lamp post in the front
yard.
Experts can’t quite pinpoint the
cause of IPH, and a cure hasn’t been de-
veloped. It’s so uncommon that experts
at the University of North Carolina are
only now beginning to track cases
through a registry they’re developing,
and they’re hesitant to offer an estimate
of how many people in the US have the
disease.
“I would argue that we don’t really
know how many cases do exist,” said Dr.
Eveline Wu, a pediatric rheumatologist
and immunologist at the University of
North Carolina Children’s Research In-
stitute.
Wu and Dr. Timothy Vece, a pediat-
ric pulmonologist at the institute, are
leading the effort to work with hospitals
around the country to begin tracking
MICHAEL PIANTEDOSI
The rare Jesup’s milk-vetch can be
found in three locations on Earth.
ing in May, he’ll use some of those to
augment the existing populations, while
others will go to two new sites in New
England to try to expand the plant’s
reach.
Because the plants grow so close to-
IPH and idiopathic pulmonary capil-
laritis (IPC), a similar disease.
“There is so little research on these
conditions that we don’t know what we
don’t know,” Vece said. Wu and Vece are
not treating Landon, but they are work-
ing with Erin and Jaymes to raise
awareness about the disease.
“What I’ve learned is, don’t Google
it,” Erin said, a warning she wishes she
had followed.
There’s no sugarcoating this. While
some patients’ disease goes into remis-
sion, others have complications such as
acute shortness of breath, severe ane-
mia, and pulmonary fibrosis. They can
have massive bleeding in their lungs
that choke their airways, sending them
into shock, severe respiratory distress,
and heart failure.
If IPH isn’t diagnosed and the pa-
tient doesn’t begin a therapy regime,
“these children can be presented with
life-threatening experiences,” Wu said.
That’s why Landon’s treatments are
frequent and extensive.
Every month, he packs his Mario
Brothers bag and spends three days at
Boston Children’s Hospital, where he
receives an infusion of steroids and an-
tibodies. Much of his February school
vacation was spent at the hospital, and
his April vacation will be spent the
same way.
His parents haven’t explained to
Landon everything that’s happening to
him, but he knows something is differ-
ent. He has been frustrated because he
had to spend a lot of time indoors this
winter to avoid catching a cold, and at
gether, “one major disaster, a flood
event, could spell extinction for this spe-
cies,” Piantedosi said.
He said climate change has chal-
lenged the plants with higher-than-usu-
al summer temperatures, and the flood-
ing last summer also did some damage,
submerging the plants underwater for
days at a time. They grow on calcium-
rich rocky limestone outcroppings over
the Connecticut River.
But Piantedosi remains optimistic
about the conservation efforts, in spite
of losses last year.
The Native Plant Trust’s efforts have
found success with another rare and en-
dangered plant, high in the alpine al-
pine zone of the White Mountains: Rob-
bins’ cinquefoil. The perennial alpine
plant with yellow flowers only grows in
two places on Earth, both high in those
school, he uses his own coloring pencils
and glue sticks.
“He knows he has sick lungs,” Erin
said.
Erin and Jaymes remain cautiously
optimistic. Landon is bursting with en-
ergy right now, but they know that can
change in a heartbeat.
Most parents look forward to grab-
bing a moment of rest when their chil-
dren tucker themselves out after play-
ing or a day at school. But when
Landon seems even a little fatigued, his
parents worry that his lungs could be
bleeding.
The stress can be overwhelming. Ev-
ery time Landon comes down with even
a slight cold, or they think he’s napping
too much, his parents worry that his he-
moglobin levels may be dropping.
They’re always on high alert.
“For a sniffle, we have to go to the
doctor,” Erin said. “I’m not a person
who typically worries a lot. Now it’s a
worry you didn’t even know was possi-
ble.”
Despite their own heartbreaking
anxiety about their son, Erin and
Jaymes are the kind of people who still
want to do everything they can to help
other parents who are in a similar situa-
tion.
It starts by trying to find them.
Relatives have helped Erin and
Jaymes establish a nonprofit called
Breath of Hope RI, and they’ve already
raised nearly $50,000 to help the Uni-
versity of North Carolina build a regis-
try of others with the disease and, even-
tually, find a cure.
“We’re just trying to make people
aware,” Erin said.
At the University of North Carolina,
Drs. Wu and Vece said they hope to
have a registry established by the end of
the year. That will give hospitals around
the country the ability to input informa-
tion about similar cases.
“The goals with this registry will be:
How can we help families get closer to a
diagnosis and better understand long-
term impacts?” Wu said.
Meanwhile, in his happy world of
Legos and Bluey cartoons, Landon
laughs and plays as Erin and Jaymes
hope and pray that someone, some-
where, helps their kid.

nonprofit and to donate, visit Breath of

mountains.
“We had a seed bank of Robbins’
cinquefoil. We learned how to grow it,
and in doing that, we were able to aug-
ment the existing population, increase
its ability to self-seed, and return every
year in slightly higher numbers,” he
said.
Now, the organization is embarking
on a research project to learn how it can
store this rare plant in a freezer so that
it would still be viable 100 years from
now.
“Part of what gives life its beauty and
its value and its [excitement] is the di-
versity of life and having a diversity of
plants,” Piantedosi said.

THE COLOR OF MONEY | MICHELLE SINGLETARY

Yes, your March Madness pool winnings are taxable

Part of the thrill of March
Madness is filling out the brack-
ets.
Selecting the winners of the
NCAA basketball tournaments
in an office bracket pool can
earn you bragging rights and
some serious money.
A decade ago, Quicken Loans
and Berkshire Hathaway — the
company run by Warren Buffett
— offered to pay $1 billion to
the person who predicted the
winner of every game during
March Madness. The prize
could come in 40 annual pay-
ments or a $500 million lump
sum.
Two major upsets in 2014
busted brackets, resulting in no
$1 billion winner. As a consola-
tion, the owners of the 20 most
accurate brackets received
$100,000.
Millions of fans will be mak-
ing wagers on the men’s and
women’s tournaments, includ-
ing an estimated $2.7 billion in
legal sports betting markets
alone, according to the Ameri-
can Gaming Association.
By the way, your odds of hav-
ing a perfect bracket are 1 in
9,223,372,036,854,775,808 if
you guess or flip a coin, accord-
ing to NCAA.com.
But if your wagers pay off
during March Madness, Uncle
Sam wants in on the game. Here
are four reasons you need to re-
port your winnings to the IRS.
The IRS receives income
information on you
The IRS uses an automated
system to compare such infor-
mation against what people re-
port on their tax returns. Third-
party disclosures, such as a W-2
form from your employer or a
1099-K from a payment plat-
form, are sent by employers or
companies such as PayPal, Ven-
mo, or Cash App.
If there’s a discrepancy be-
tween your reported earnings
and a 1099 received by the
agency, you will probably get a
CP2000 notice of unreported in-
come.
It’s the law
This month, the IRS remind-
ed taxpayers that all income
should be reported on their tax
returns unless there is a specific
exclusion.
If you were paid with a digi-
tal asset, for example, the IRS
says you must report the value
as wages. The same is true if you
worked as an independent con-
tractor and were paid with cryp-
tocurrency. It’s income.
Got a gig picking up people’s
food or groceries and got paid
by foreign sources? Income.
And yes, this includes March
Madness winnings, according to
Eric Bronnenkant, head of tax
at Betterment, a digital invest-
ment advisory firm.
Gambling winnings repre-
sent one type of taxable income,
which is taxed at ordinary in-
come tax rates plus applicable
state income tax.
The IRS generally requires
the reporting of gambling win-
nings on IRS Form W-2G if net
earnings exceed $600 and are at
least 300 times the wager, Bron-
nenkant said. This is true
whether a W-2G is issued or not.
Let’s say you collect $1,000
on a $1 wager on March Mad-
ness. The winnings should be
reported on a W-2G and on your
tax return. At IRS.gov, you can
find a tool — “How do I claim
my gambling winnings and/or
losses?” — to help determine
how to claim your gambling
winnings and/or losses.
“Taxpayers who have gam-
bling losses can potentially de-
duct their losses as an itemized
deduction up to their gambling
winnings,” Bronnenkant said.
“However, it is common for peo-
MICHAEL CATERINA/ASSOCIATED PRESS
ple to take the standard deduc-
tion, which does not allow for
the deduction of gambling loss-
es.”
Underreporting your income
will cost you big time
You might convince yourself
the IRS won’t catch you if you
don’t report your winnings. But
be warned that the money you
saved skirting the law could eas-
ily be dwarfed by hefty penalties
and interest.
The IRS is required by law to
charge interest on any past-due
tax. The interest rate, set by law,
is tied to interest rates on short-
term Treasury securities. On
April 1, the rate will remain 8
percent for individuals — nearly
triple the 3 percent levied dur-
ing the same quarter of 2021.
It’s important to pay what
you owe on time — or as much
as you can — because interest is
compounded daily.
“When it comes to the IRS,
my experience has taught me
that even the smallest office bets
don’t fly under their radar for
long,” Bronnenkant said.
You’re cheating your older
self
Social Security uses your
earnings and work history to
determine your eligibility for re-
tirement or disability benefits or
your family’s eligibility for survi-
vor benefits.
To qualify for benefits, you
must earn at least 40 Social Se-
curity credits. You earn credits
when you work and pay Social
Security taxes.
For 2024, you can accrue one
Social Security or Medicare
credit for every $1,730 of earn-
ings, up to a maximum of four
credits per year. If you are self-
employed, you earn credits the
same way as an employee. This
means you have to earn $6,920
to get the maximum four credits
for the year.
Extra credits don’t increase
your Social Security benefit. But
your earnings make a differ-
ence.
“The average of your earn-
ings over your working years,
not the total number of credits
you earn, determines how much
your monthly payment will be
when you receive benefits,” ac-
cording to the Social Security
Administration.
In a Gallup poll last year, on-
ly 34 percent of non-retirees
said Social Security would be a
significant source of income.
That may be woefully unrealis-
tic.
Gallup found that 59 percent
of retirees said they rely on So-
cial Security as a “major source”
of income.
Sure, you might get away
with hiding earnings from the
IRS. However, you could be seri-
ously cheating yourself later.

Patriots docuseries ‘The Dynasty’ a farce

Dan Shaughnessy
Picked-up pieces after heart
surgery . . .
R It was not my intention
to return to these pages this
soon, and I am far from 100
percent, but some things can-
not wait. I remember ripping
tubes out of my arms after
sinus surgery when I got the
word that the Red Sox had finally fired crusty
manager John McNamara on Bastille
Day in 1988. I’d been waiting three
long seasons for that moment and was
not about to let another Globe scribe
Knife the Mac on the day the Sox
made the long-overdue sacking.
Which brings us to . . . “The Dynas-
ty,” the entertaining yet loathsome 10-
part Kraft hagiography/Belichick hit
piece that dropped its final two epi-
sodes on Apple TV last weekend.
The Globe’s estimable Ben Volin
has already given great voice to the
preposterousness and unfairness of
the series, but my dark, healing heart
would not allow this moment to pass
without joining the chorus of “Dynas-
ty” detractors.
Bottom line: As Patriots/NFL his-
tory goes, “The Dynasty” is a farce.
It’s great to have so much locker
room footage, and the Apple folks give
us a lot of credible and interesting
voices. Hearing Rob Gronkowski tell
ROBERT KRAFT his truth and Tom Brady drop F-
Inventor and savior? bombs is new and enlightening. Free
of Big Bad Bill, Devin McCourty, Matthew Slat-
er, Ty Law, Tedy Bruschi, Randy Moss, Willie
McGinest, and Danny Amendola are worthy
truth-tellers. It’s great to hear so much from Er-
nie Adams.
But make no mistake: This is Bob Kraft’s
authorized history of the Patriots. Nothing less.
It all goes back to Jeff Benedict’s 2020 book,
“The Dynasty.” Benedict is a legit journalist
who wrote 16 books prior to this one. I called
him in October of 2020 to express my disap-
pointment with what I considered the one-sid-

With one more win or Bucks

Possibly expanding men’s basketball tournament is about greed
The men’s basketball
NCAA Tournament is
where the upset be-
comes a sports love lan-
guage. But if certain
college sports power
brokers get their way a
change in the tourna-
ment could be afoot
that leaves fans upset.
Some college sports rainmakers want
to take the term bracket-buster literally
and bulge the current 68-team format
like the exploding belt of former Red Sox
Pablo Sandoval. They advocate expand-
ing the tournament to a field as large as
80, filled largely by more power confer-
ence entrees. ESPN’s intrepid college
sports reporter Pete Thamel detailed this
effort earlier this month.
This type of March madness is a hor-
rendous idea, fueled by greed, gluttony,
and radical conference realignment. It’s
yet another power play by the most pow-
erful power conferences (the Southeast-
ern Conference and the Big Ten) that
have rendered college football their per-
sonal fiefdom and now want to do the
same to college sports’ other tentpole
property.
Bigger isn’t always better. We don’t
need a field of 80 or 76. It’s the college
basketball version of Supreme Court
packing. More middle-of-the-pack teams
from the power conferences in college
basketball (SEC, Big Ten, Atlantic Coast
Conference, Big 12, the cadaver of the
Pac-12, and the Big East) won’t increase
the quality of the tournament, just the
quantity.

Lately, the grind has been
their road to perdition.
After twice battling back to
tie in the third period, the Bru-
ins left here 3-2 losers to Flyers
on Saturday afternoon, denied a
chance to pocket at least a point
when Tyson Foerster snapped a
2-2 deadlock with his wrister by
Linus Ullmark with 1:29 re-
maining in regulation.
The loss was the 31st of the
season for the Bruins (41-16-15),
and it was also their second con-
secutive loss in regulation— the
first time this calendar year that
they walked away with nothing
to show for their 60 minutes of
toil. The last time it happened

Off the mark
The Bears, who own the top pick in the draft, jettisoned Justin Fields to the
Steelers for a conditional sixth-round pick. Fields, who was drafted 11th overall
just three years ago, has had an up and down start to his career. The quarterback
has been a revelation running, with 14 career TDs, but has also tossed 30
interceptions. According to stathead.com, Fields is one of five players with at
least 30 INTs and 14 rushing TDs in their first three seasons.

Kickoff would look strange, but it might work

W
hen reviewing
leaguewide stats after
last season, two num-
bers stopped Rich
McKay in his tracks:
The NFL had 1,970 touchbacks in
2023 (73 percent), and 13,530 kickoff
return yards. McKay, the chairman of
the competition committee, compared
those numbers with the 2010 season.
That year had 416 touchbacks (16.4
percent) and 45,420 return yards.
“We’ve taken too much out of the
game. It’s too exciting of a play,” McKay
said Thursday.
In an effort to make the kickoff safer
— the NFL says the rate of concussion is
roughly twice the rate of a regular play
from scrimmage — the league essential-
ly killed it. There were 23 kickoff return
touchdowns in 2010, but just four in
2023. February’s Super Bowl had 13
touchbacks and zero returns.
No one in the NFL was happy with
the state of kickoffs in 2023, especially
since all of the rule tweaks didn’t solve
the main problem.
“We made the play a non-event, but
we just have not been able to find a way
to make the play safer,” McKay said.
So McKay and the competition com-
mittee are starting from scratch in
2024, proposing radical changes that
the NFL hopes satisfies both of its goals
of making the kickoff safer, while in-
creasing returns.
The new rules are similar to the
ones used by the XFL the last two years,
but with a few modifications. It’s the
product of two years of work from Mc-
Kay, the competition committee, and
special teams coordinators John Fassel
(Cowboys), Darren Rizzi (Saints), and
Richard Hightower (Bears), with input
from NFL health and safety and other
coaches.
The proposal was revealed to media
this past week and will be voted upon
by owners this coming week at their an-
nual league meetings in Orlando, Fla. A
vote of 24 of 32 owners is needed to
adopt the rules, and it would be a sur-
prise if it doesn’t pass, since fixing the
kickoff play has been one of commis-
sioner Roger Goodell’s top initiatives.
The rules are likely to be adopted on a
one-year trial basis, with the NFL likely
reserving the right to tweak the rules
after observing three weeks of pre-
season games.
“To us, this was the time,” McKay
said. “The play will feel different and
radical, but this play has been used, and
we saw it in the XFL for two years.”
What made the kickoff more dan-
gerous than typical plays, particularly
with concussions, was that there was
too much open field for players to reach
top speeds before colliding with oppo-
nents. So here are the key changes:
R The kicker will still kick from his
35-yard line, but the other 10 players
will line up on the opponent’s 40. The
receiving team will have nine players
lining up between its 30-35, meaning
there will only be 5-10 yards of space
between 19 of 22 players. This could
eliminate most high-speed collisions.
R The new rules create a landing
zone, which is between the goal line
and 20-yard line. Any kick that hits in
the landing zone must be returned. The
19 players aligned in the field can’t
B o s t o n
Football

move until the ball hits a player or the
ground in the landing zone. The receiv-
ing team must have two returners
aligned in the landing zone who can
move at any time. The kicker can’t cross
the 50 until the ball hits in the landing
zone.
R The NFL hopes that requiring two
returners to align in the landing zone
will create more returns.
“The special teams coaches did a
great job of showing us that putting one
returner back there would lead to too
many games, and too many [kickers]
trying to do things with the football,”
McKay said.
R The new rules will effectively have
three levels of touchbacks. A kickoff
that flies out of the end zone, or is
downed in the end zone after reaching
it on the fly, is a touchback to the 35.
This is to encourage kickers to keep the
ball within the field of play.
R A kickoff that hits the ground in
the landing zone, rolls into the end
zone, and is downed will be a touch-
back to the 20. This is to encourage the
receiving team to return kicks.
R A kickoff that hits short of the
landing zone will be treated the same as
a kickoff out of bounds. The play will be
immediately blown dead and the ball
will be placed on the 40. A source in-
volved said this is to discourage kickers
from hitting line drives that would
bounce into the end zone.
“If the kick doesn’t make it to the 20
it comes out to the 40, so it’s a big risk-
reward,” the source said. “You’re trying
to encourage regular kickoffs between
the goal line and the 10 so the play
doesn’t look sloppy.”
R The fair catch would be outlawed
on kickoffs. Last year’s rule, which al-
lowed for a touchback to the 25 on any
fair catch, would be scrapped.
R Because of the formation rules, the
surprise onside kick would also be
scrapped. In this proposal, teams would
only be allowed to attempt an onside
kick in the fourth quarter if trailing,
and must inform the officials before-
hand. The league’s previous rules gov-
erning onside kicks would remain.
R Safety punts would remain at the
20, but the landing zone and player
alignment would remain the same.
The new kickoff is going to look
strange, and the NFL laments having to
eliminate the surprise onside kick. But
McKay hopes that they found the right
solution — the new rules encourage re-
turns, penalize touchbacks, and could
eliminate most high-speed collisions.
The NFL hopes these rules will not
only bring the kickoff back, but help in-
crease scoring thanks to better field po-
sition.
“For us to tell you exactly how it’s
going to go, we don’t know,” McKay
said. “We do believe that if you move
the start line of the drives that you’re
going to see a change in scoring. And
we will definitely see some things that
will create some excitement this year.”
TACKLING A BIG PROBLEM
League aims
to ban hip-drop
A look at a few other topics that will
be discussed at this coming week’s own-
ers’ meetings:
R The other big rule change likely to
S u n d a y G l o b e
be adopted is the banning of the “hip-
drop tackle,” in which a defender grabs
a ball carrier from behind, twists him to
the ground, and lands on his knee or
ankle, often resulting in significant in-
jury. The NFL says this technique has
an injury rate that is 20-25 times higher
than a typical tackle.
“This is a play where the person get-
ting tackled is really defenseless at that
moment,” competition committee
chairman Rich McKay said.
The NFL doesn’t want to ban all
tackles from behind, so it attempted to
use specific language to identify a hip-
drop. The defender:
1. Grabs the runner with both hands
or wraps with both arms; and
2. Unweights himself by swiveling
and dropping his hips and/or lower
body, landing on and trapping the run-
ner’s leg at or below the knee.
The NFL wants to make the hip-
drop a 15-yard penalty and treat it like
a horse-collar tackle. The NFL Players
Association has said for months that it
is squarely against banning the hip-
drop because it will create confusion for
officials and make life too difficult for
defenders. But the NFL doesn’t seem
inclined to listen to the players on this
one.
“I respect their position, but as the
gatekeepers of the game, this is some-
thing that we have to remove,” NFL ex-
ecutive vice president Troy Vincent
said. “The intent is not to throw more
flags, but the intent is to remove that
style of play.”
R Owners will consider moving the
trade deadline, currently the Tuesday
after Week 8, back a week or two. The
Steelers propose moving it to Week 9,
and six teams propose moving it to
Week 10. McKay said the NFL prefers
an earlier trade deadline to prevent
teams from doing white-flag trades, but
the season is now longer (18 weeks)
and injuries have affected playoff races
the last two years.
R McKay acknowledged that the de-
crease in scoring “gives us concern a lit-
tle bit.” The league averaged 43.5 points
per game last season, its second fewest
since the start of the 2010 season and
nearly a touchdown less than the high-
water mark of 49.6 points per game in
2020. The 2022 season was just a tick
better at 43.8 points per game.
“We spent a lot of time trying to un-
derstand that,” McKay said. “Forty-
three points is not a bad place to be. It’s
just we’d love that number be closer to
45 or above.”
McKay said it could a combination
of factors, including defenses playing
more two-high safety looks to prevent
big passes, fewer defensive penalties
called, and a record number of starting
quarterbacks the last two seasons.
R The Colts are proposing that teams
and replay officials be allowed to chal-
lenge any penalty in the final two min-
utes of a half. McKay said that allowing
for penalties to be challenged has “al-
ways historically been a big leap for the
membership,” which is a diplomatic
way of saying, “No chance this passes.”

Orlando: The tush push and Tom Bra-
dy’s bid to buy a slice of the Raiders.
The tush push, the short-yardage
play made famous by the Eagles, looks
dangerous, but the NFL doesn’t have
any injury data stating so, so the league
is leaving the play alone, NFL executive
vice president Troy Vincent said.
And Brady’s minority ownership
stake with the Raiders, pending ap-
proval of 24 owners for nearly a year, is
not scheduled to be brought up for a
vote, a league source confirmed Friday.
Brady’s bid remains under review by
the finance committee, which has
raised two concerns: That Brady is get-
ting too deep of a discount on his slice
of the Raiders, who are valued by
Forbes at more than $6 billion, and the
potential conflict of interest of Brady
owning a piece of the Raiders while
calling games each Sunday for Fox. It’s
fair to wonder if Brady and the Raiders
will eventually just call off the deal.
Get out of town
Mac Jones apparently wasn’t the on- gloves, and film from the Dolphins dur-
ly young quarterback who alienated his
team and was dumped for almost noth-
ing. The Steelers traded Kenny Pickett,
the No. 20 overall pick in 2022, to the
Eagles this past week for essentially two the man’s truck with security footage
seventh-round picks. It’s the fastest the
Steelers moved on from a first-rounder
since 1996, per the Pittsburgh Post-Ga-
zette, and it sounds like they couldn’t
wait to get rid of him.
Though Pickett went
14-10 as a starter in two
seasons, he threw just 13
touchdown passes against
13 interceptions in 24
games, and expressed “pet-
ulant behavior” last year,
per the Post-Gazette, when
he didn’t regain his start-
ing job at the end of the JIMMY GAROPPOLO two years with the Patriots.

an ankle injury. Pickett
even refused to dress as the emergency
third quarterback for the Week 17 win
at Seattle, per the report.
Pickett finally earned his way out of
town after expressing unhappiness over
the Steelers’ signing of Russell Wilson
and canceling an informal workout
with receivers the day after Wilson’s ad-
dition. Pickett will back up Jalen Hurts
in Philadelphia and said he has no re-
grets about the end of his tenure in
Pittsburgh.
“I handled it the way I should have
handled it,” Pickett said.
It’s been mixed bag for third QB
With the Patriots holding the No. 3
pick in the NFL Draft, and looking like
they may take the third quarterback in
the draft, it’s worth looking at the re-
cent history of similar quarterbacks.
Since the rookie wage scale was imple-
mented in 2011, there have been 10
quarterbacks that were the third one
taken in the first round.
The list includes: two franchise
quarterbacks (Josh Allen, Justin Her-
bert), three decent-to-good quarter-
backs (Deshaun Watson, Ryan Tan-
nehill, Anthony Richardson), two ca-
reer backups (Teddy Bridgewater,
Blaine Gabbert), and three busts (Pax-

Extra points
The Steelers now have the NFL’s
most fascinating quarterback room
with Wilson and Justin Fields both
looking to resurrect their careers. While
Wilson is the presumed starter, keep in
mind that the Steelers are paying him
only $1.21 million, and they’re paying
Fields $3.23 million. This feels like a
classic “when you have two quarter-
backs, you have none” situation. Fans
are going to be clamoring for Fields the

Streamlining NESN’s Sox booth would benefit fans

Chad Finn
SPORTS MEDIA
The list of things
worth yearning for
from 2020, baseball-
related or otherwise,
has to be pretty short.
But here’s one that
rattles around in the
brain of an incurably
nostalgic sports-me-
dia columnist this time of year:
I deeply miss Jerry Remy and Den-
nis Eckersley on NESN’s Red Sox broad-
casts.
I know, I’m hardly alone here. Indi-
vidually, both were superb analysts —
two of the best I’ve ever heard, regional-
ly, nationally, anywhere — whose rich
insights on the game were enhanced
when they began to reveal their hu-
manity.
Once Remy realized that Eckersley
was a true friend and not someone try-
ing to take his job, their bond strength-
ened, and they began working together
more often (including for approximate-
ly 30 games in a three-man booth with
play-by-play voice Dave O’Brien in
2019), developing the kind of rapport
that is scarce in sports broadcasting.
What they had cannot be concocted
by someone assembling a roster of
broadcasters in a boardroom. It has to
be authentic. Remy and Eckersley knew
that, and O’Brien deserves more credit
than he got for initiating their most
compelling conversations and letting
them riff.
They were at their best in 2020, dur-
ing the COVID-19-abbreviated 60-game
season, when so much else around us
seemed to be at its worst.
Sometimes they were hilarious, such
as when discussing a trip to the famed
New York City disco Studio 54 as Red
Sox teammates in the late 1970s.
Often, they were downright poi-
gnant, such as when, late in that lost
and irrelevant season when they called
the games from NESN’s antiseptic
Watertown studios, they discussed how
fear and competitiveness left them un-
able to enjoy their playing careers in the
moment.
Maybe such a conversation wouldn’t
have happened in a normal season, in a
normal world. But with Eckersley and
Remy, I’m guessing it would have, at
least on nights when the game lacked
any compelling angles. Their kinship
over shared experiences — and their ac-
knowledgment of their differences, too
— was real, and we were so lucky that
they let us listen in.
It wouldn’t be fair to expect NESN to
find Red Sox broadcasters who can rep-
licate what Remy, Eckersley, and
O’Brien had. I recognize that. Remy
died in late October 2021 at age 68 after
a long battle with cancer. Eckersley re-
tired a year later, moving back to his
native Bay Area to spend more time
with his grandchildren. NESN lost not
one but two irreplaceable broadcasters.
But I do wish NESN would take a
more streamlined approach to its Red
Sox booth, in the hopes of not only de-
veloping more chemistry between the
broadcasters, but in providing more
consistency for viewers.
The network announced Thursday
that its broadcast team will include
O’Brien and backup play-by-play voice
Mike Monaco, along with color analysts
Kevin Youkilis, Lou Merloni, Will
Middlebrooks, and Kevin Millar. You-
kilis will work more games than any-
one, approximately 75, and yet that’s
not even half of the schedule. Merloni
will do 40-45, with another 70 or so on
WEEI. Middlebrooks will have around don’t want to commit to anything close

the Major League Soccer season, but a 1-1
draw with the Chicago Fire on Saturday af-
ternoon felt like it could’ve been more.
Both goals were scored in the first half
in Foxborough. Chicago’s Hugo Cuypers
put the visitors ahead in the 20th minute,
with the Gil brothers connecting on the
equalizer four minutes into stoppage time,
Nacho heading home a Carles rebound
with essentially the final play before the
break.
The second half was filled with missed
chances for both teams, but mostly for the
Revolution, who felt they had multiple
fouls ignored by replacement referee Kyle
Johnston in the latter stages as they
swarmed for a game-winner. Chicago and
New England, longtime Eastern Confer-
ence rivals, played a far more physical
game after halftime, with Carles Gil in par-
ticular upset and going after Johnston for
the lack of whistles.
Each team ended up with four yellow
cards, with Gil and teammate Tomás
Chancalay drawing theirs for dissent at
match’s end.
New England (0-4-1) did avoid defeat
to cap its first week without a match in the
CONCACAF Champions Cup, but it re-

Taking a swing at some award predictions
Peter Abraham
P
aul Goldschmidt and Manny
Machado finished first and
second in National League
Most Valuable Player voting
in 2022 but didn’t receive a
single vote last season.
It wasn’t injuries. Goldschmidt
played 154 games and Machado 138.
Corey Seager finished second to
Shohei Ohtani in American League vot-
ing last season after not receiving any
votes in 2022.
Baseball is a mystery. So don’t take
predictions for this season as being
rooted in anything but semi-educated
guessing. Especially these.
AL MVP: Juan Soto (Yankees). Soto
is overdue to win his first MVP and he
should benefit from being part of such
a dangerous lineup. RBIs still matter
for a lot of voters and Soto should pile
them up. Gunnar Henderson (Orioles)
and Kyle Tucker (Astros) could make a
run.
NL MVP: Mookie Betts (Dodgers). If
he’s the regular shortstop and puts up
another season with huge numbers for
a first-place team, who’s going to stop
him? Maybe Ronald Acuña Jr. (Braves)
or Corbin Carroll (Diamondbacks).
AL Cy Young: Tarik Skubal (Tigers).
One common line of conversation
among scouts in Florida has been how
good Skubal looks. With Gerrit Cole ex-
pected to miss at least a month, the
door is open for Skubal, Corbin Burnes
(Orioles), and Framber Valdez (Astros).
NL Cy Young: Spencer Strider
(Braves). At 25, it feels like his time has
come after striking out 281 and finish-
ing fourth last season. His competition
will come from teammate Max Fried
and Zack Wheeler (Phillies).
AL Rookie of the Year: Jackson Hol-
liday (Orioles). An obvious choice, but
it’s impossible to ignore his talent. He
didn’t make the team out of spring
training but could earn a quick promo-
tion. Rangers outfielders Evan Carter
and Wyatt Langford will be heard.
Maybe some votes for Ceddanne Raf-
aela of the Red Sox?
NL Rookie of the Year: Jung Hoo Lee
(Giants). Experienced players from oth-
er professional leagues should not be
considered rookies. But they are, so Lee
is a solid choice given how well he has
hit in spring training. Jackson Chourio
of the Brewers could sneak in there and
the Dodgers expect big things from
Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
AL Manager of the Year: Matt Qua-
traro (Royals). There’s a chance the
Royals don’t stink. Granted, that’s not a
very high bar. But it would be an
accomplishment. Alex Cora should get
a parade if the Red Sox finish .500.
NL Manager of the Year: Mike Shildt
(Padres). San Diego is going to be better
than predicted. If nothing else, the ex-
pectations aren’t as high. For $8 million
a year, Craig Counsell better have the
Cubs ready.
On-field story of the season: Rule
changes are going to be an issue again.
MLB cut two seconds off the pitch clock
with no men on base, angering pitch-
ers. Umpires also have been told to call
obstruction more aggressively.
There will be a major ruckus if a
game gets decided by such a call. It’s
bound to happen.
Off-field story of the season:
There’s a brewing civil war within the
Players Association as a group of play-
ers affiliated with certain agents are try-
ing to oust deputy director Bruce Mey-
er. Clients of Scott Boras oppose the
effort.
The turmoil could lead to the resig-
nation of executive director Tony Clark,
who has held the job since 2013.
Harry Marino, who led the success-
ful unionization efforts in the minor
leagues before briefly working for the
MLBPA, is involved in the dispute. He’s
a 33-year-old former minor league play-
er.
QUIET PLEASE?
Houck prepares
in his own way
One of the unwritten rules of base-
ball is not to talk to the starting pitcher
before the game.
Other than the pitching coach and
catcher, the pitcher is supposed to be
left alone to contemplate the task at
hand. Or something like that.
Tanner Houck, a Midwesterner with
the laid-back cool of a California surfer,
doesn’t always see it that way. He pre-
pared for a spring training start against
the Yankees earlier this month by
launching jump shots at the basketball
hoop in the clubhouse and challenging
Kenley Jansen to a game of HORSE.
“That’s just me,” Houck said after
pitching well against New York. “Have
B o s t o n
Baseball
some fun each day then go out there
and do your job. Just build camaraderie
in any way. It’s a long season. I’m
always high energy.”
Houck played basketball at Collins-
ville (Ill.) High through his junior year
before devoting himself to baseball.
“I realized my calling,” Houck said.
“Baseball was definitely the right
option. I started focusing on working
out. I knew where I wanted to be and
the sacrifices that had to be made. It
was a tough decision at the time be-
cause I loved playing basketball.”
Houck said Cooper Criswell is the
best hooper on the team. Not Jansen?
“He tries hard,” Houck said.
A few other observations on the Red
Sox:
R Brayan Bello has a chance to be a
very good pitcher. But let’s ease up with
the “next Pedro” stuff.
Other than being Dominican and
throwing with his right arm, the com-
parisons end there. There was one
Pedro Martinez, a unique blend of in-
telligence, skill, and competitive fire.
Bello is 14-19 with a 4.37 ERA
through his age-24 season. Martinez
was 48-31, 3.39 through the same junc-
ture en route to being a first-ballot Hall
of Famer.
Bello, or any other pitcher, would do
well to be half as good as Martinez.
R The biggest knock on Kutter Craw-
ford last season was that he recorded
only 24 outs after the fifth inning. To
succeed as a starter long term, he had
to condition his body to go deeper into
games.
Crawford gained 6 pounds in the off-
season and added some bulk. At 6 feet 1
inch, Crawford is considered short for a
righthander and needed to offset that
with more size.
“He’s stronger. He has bigger legs.
That was the main goal in the offsea-
son, physicality,” manager Alex Cora
said. “He understands what he needs to
do to get to the next level. It’s maintain-
ing the stuff from pitch 80-100.”
R There’s a decent chance Tyler Hei-
neman, Mark Kolozsvary, and Roberto
Perez won’t play for the Sox this season
unless Connor Wong or Reese McGuire
gets injured. All three are catchers ex-
pected to be with Triple A Worcester.
But the Sox see them as valuable
players. All three are defensive-minded
backstops who can handle a pitching
staff and execute a game plan. As the
Sox work to develop pitchers, catchers
with that skill set are better than bat-
first types such as Jorge Alfaro they had
at Triple A last season.
“It’s a different group than in the
past,” Cora said. “Don’t know if it was
on purpose or not, but our catcher
group had a different mind-set, more in
tune to what we have to do to prevent
runs.”
R The perpetually plain-spoken Nick
Pivetta was asked his thoughts on the
team’s new pitching program.
“It’s been really good,” he said.
“Everybody’s got their own individual
plan and what they do best as a pitcher.
It’s about how we get to those pitches as
quickly as possible and execute those
pitches in the zone and get some swings
and misses.
“I think the fundamental [aspect] is
very strong and it allows guys to be free
and compete. Hitting is extremely hard.
It’s not an easy thing to do, even though
they make it look easy at times.
“So having confidence in the zone is
very important.”
R Pivetta and Lucas Giolito were
teammates in 2013 with the Gulf Coast
League Nationals, who went 49-9. They
also were teammates in High A in 2015
until Pivetta was traded to the Phillies
on July 28 for Jonathan Papelbon.
“We had the same agent [Ryan Ha-
mill of CAA] and worked out together,”
Pivetta said. “I was really excited when
[the Red Sox] traded for him. It’s nice to
have one of my better friends around.”
R Second baseman Vaughn Grissom
has been the invisible man in this
camp, spending most of his time work-
ing behind the scenes because of groin
and hamstring injuries.
That could change soon. Grissom
was on the field Thursday going
through an agility workout and was
moving well. But with the Sox leaving
Fort Myers on Sunday, he’ll likely stay
in extended spring training for a bit be-
fore joining an affiliate to get at-bats.
It’s unlikely Grissom will play in a
major league game until late April, and
that could be optimistic.
R Last week’s column mentioned the
auction of the player murals at old Mc-
Coy Stadium in Pawtucket. The top sell-
ers were Carlton Fisk ($3,200), Roger
Clemens ($2,900), Jim Rice ($2,600),
and Wade Boggs ($1,900). An appar-
ently huge fan of Oil Can Boyd dropped
$2,500 on his mural. On the low end,

Gambling scandal
shakes up game
The story that translator Ippei Mizu-
hara was allegedly stealing money from
Shohei Ohtani to pay off gambling
debts doesn’t add up.
Because California doesn’t have le-
galized sports betting, Mizuhara report-
edly placed bets through a bookie who
G l o b e
Series won: 7 Series lost: 9
is now under federal investigation.
There’s little chance a bookie would
let somebody employed as a translator
run up $3.4 million in losses unless he
knew the debt would get paid.
And wouldn’t Ohtani’s agent or fi-
nancial advisers notice that much mon-
ey was missing and raise a red flag?
Mizuhara is a close friend of Ohtani,
more like a personal assistant than sim-
ply a translator. But you must be some
kind of friend to be able to access $3.4
million.
Mizuhara is a relatively famous fig-
ure within baseball because he rarely
left Ohtani’s side. How did the Angels
never find out a team employee was
gambling millions with a bookie? How
did the Dodgers not discover this when
he was hired a few months ago?
MLB will want this to go away
quickly. But there’s a lot there.
Whatever shakes out, this is the lat-
est warning to Major League Baseball
and other sports. As gambling becomes
legalized in more states and teams part-
ner with sports books, larger scandals
are inevitable.
There’s no evidence Ohtani was in-
MARCH 24, 2024
volved and Mizuhara denies betting on
baseball. But if the most notable player
in the sport can be affected so directly,
the threat is real.
Teams clearly have to do a better job
of vetting employees and controlling
who is around players at the ballpark or
associated with the team.
Extra bases
New Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Ya-
mamoto has started four games includ-
ing three in spring training. His line:
10„ innings, 19 hits, 14 earned runs, 5
walks, 16 strikeouts, 2 wild pitches, 1
hit batter. The strikeouts are evidence
why Los Angeles signed him to a 12-
year, $325 million contract. But his
command has been erratic, which could
be the result of MLB using a different
ball than Nippon Professional Baseball.
Yamamoto’s first pitch in a regular-sea-
son game came against the Padres in
South Korea and was crushed by Xan-
der Bogaerts for a single with an exit
velocity of 105.4 miles per hour. Yama-
moto threw 43 pitches, allowed five
runs, and was pulled after one inning
. . . Bogaerts, by the way, has a hit in
five countries: the United States, Cana-
da, England, Mexico, and South Korea.
He tied a record held by Edgardo Alfon-
zo and Paul Goldschmidt . . . Eduardo
Rodriguez is dealing with lat tightness
in his pitching shoulder, but the
Diamondbacks don’t feel it’s serious.
Rodriguez had a 3.30 ERA in 26 starts
for the Tigers last season and should
benefit greatly from working with Ari-
zona pitching coach Brent Strom. The
early returns have been positive. Rodri-
guez also has exhibited leadership . . .
The Braves signed 35-year-old Adam
Duvall to platoon with 24-year-old
Jarred Kelenic in left field. Kelenic has
had a rough spring training at the plate
. . . Alex Verdugo paid for haircuts for
any player on the Yankees roster with
two years or less of service time. It was
his way of fitting into the team’s cul-
ture. Verdugo also had a meeting with
manager Aaron Boone to ask how many
chains he could wear during games.
The answer was one . . . Tampa Bay
righthander Aaron Civale has faced the
Red Sox in Cleveland, St. Petersburg,
Fla., Fort Myers, Fla., and Santo Domin-
go, Dominican Republic, but never in
Boston. The former Northeastern pitch-
er grew up a Sox fan and lives on Cape
Cod. He’s hoping to get a start at Fen-
way this season . . . Nate Eovaldi will be
the Opening Day starter for the Rang-
ers. It would be the righthander’s
fourth such assignment in five years go-
ing back to his time with the Red Sox.
Not retaining Eovaldi after the 2022
season was a bad decision by the Sox
and has gotten worse over time . . .
Andy Pettitte plans to be around the
Yankees for 50 games or so this season
to help with the pitching staff. It’s his
biggest step back into baseball since re-
tiring after the 2013 season. Joe Torre,
who hasn’t had much to do with the
Yankees since essentially being fired in
2007, was in camp this past week and
even put on a uniform at the behest of
Boone and made a pitching change.
Torre, 83, is a special assistant to com-
missioner Rob Manfred and vice chair-
man of the Hall of Fame . . . MLB
named All-Star teams for its Spring
Breakout series. The second team in-
cluded Cardinals outfielder Joshua
Baez, a Boston native who attended the
Dexter School in Brookline. Baez was 1
for 3 with a homer and a walk against
the Marlins. Baez was a second-round
pick in 2021 who has hit .219 but with
a .344 OBP and 50 extra-base hits in
475 at-bats. Marlins lefthander Thomas
White, a 19-year-old out of Phillips An-
dover, also made the second team. He
threw a scoreless first inning against
the Cardinals and struck out three. He
was a supplemental first-round pick
last year . . . Happy birthday to Bruce
Hurst, who is 66. The lefty was 88-73
with a 4.23 earned run average for the
Red Sox from 1980-88. He was fifth in
AL Cy Young Award voting in 1988 af-
ter winning 18 games, then signed with
the Padres as a free agent. Hurst was
magnificent in the 1986 World Series.
He allowed two earned runs over 17
innings to win Games 1 and 5 and
would have been MVP had the Sox not
blown Game 6. Starting on three days’
rest for Game 7, Hurst lasted six inn-
ings and allowed three runs, leaving the
game when it was 3-3. A soft-spoken
native of Utah, Hurst had some rough
patches early in his career, even tempo-
rarily quitting the game while in Triple
A in 1981. But he finished his 15-year
career with 145 wins . . . This is the
250th of these columns I’ve done since
Nick Cafardo died in 2019. He remains
very much missed, especially with an-
other season starting.

Expectations for team Spring training report

SCORES: Pirates 4, Red Sox 1; Red Sox 8, Twins 6

low, but goals remain

By Julian McWilliams
GLOBE STAFF
The Red Sox could be headed toward a last-
place finish in the American League East for the
third straight year.
Fans have heard it before, but it will be an ar-
duous task for the Sox, as currently constructed, to
remain competitive over the course of the season.
Injuries happen, and 162 games can expose those
who aren’t among the game’s finest.
Yet players still have their own personal expec-
tations, even if the team expectations are low.
So what are the goals for some of the key play-
ers on the roster? We asked around.
between a toe tap and a leg hover in his load while
at bat. The leg hover is his forte. But it was tighter
and cleaner this spring, to get his body moving
forward.
Story is a tremendous athlete, so for goals, ob-
viously, health is at the top of the list. But in con-
junction with that, he and the Sox believe he can
get back to another element of his game: stealing
bases.
“It’s something that has always been a part of
my game,” said Story. “I take a lot of pride in it. I
know it could change the game. I’ve always looked
to steal. I can get 30, for sure.”

a steal last season to a player who was reportedly

RED SOX NOTEBOOK
RECORD: 17-12-2.
BREAKDOWN: Over a pair of split-squad games,
Brayan Bello and Nick Pivetta punctuated strong
springs with impressive final efforts. Bello allowed
one run in 5‚ innings while striking out seven
Pirates and featuring a sharp slider. Pivetta struck
out nine and walked one over six innings against
the Twins, while allowing three runs, finishing the
spring with 22 strikeouts and four walks in 18
innings.
NEXT: On Sunday, the Red Sox will close out their
Grapefruit League schedule by hosting the Braves
at JetBlue Park at 1:05 p.m. Kutter Crawford will
start, while Kenley Jansen and Chris Martin are
slated to relieve. The game will be broadcast on
NESN and WEEI.

Position players
The pitching rotation could struggle. Though
Trevor Story should enhance the infield defense,
that could still be a weakness, too. If anything, this
team will hit. At the fulcrum of the offense are Ra-
fael Devers, Triston Casas, and Story.
Triston Casas: He had a stellar rookie cam-
paign down the stretch last season, finishing with
a .267/.367/.490 slash line to go along with 24
homers. While most players are reserved in listing
their goals, Casas wasn’t bashful when it came to
his.
“Well, my goal this year is to
play every game, make the playoffs,
and have a .300/.400/.500 slash
line,” he said. “Those three things
right there jump off the page.
“I feel like if I’m playing and
we’re winning and I’m hitting, well,
life is good. So I always want to set
positive goals, achievable ones, at-
tainable ones that I feel like are re-
alistic. But at the same time, make
it something to shoot for.”
The first two might be hard to
achieve. The last one might even be
harder. But, indisputably, Casas be-

Rafael Devers: Spring play isn’t Triston Casas wants to

that can be gauged.
Devers’s opposite-field approach was clear this
spring. And it’s something that should lead to
more success during the season. Devers easily pep-
pered baseballs off the mock Green Monster in left
field at JetBlue Park, and that wasn’t by mistake.
He harnesses the gift of hitting the ball the oth-
er way with authority. He’s one of the game’s best
in that department.
Yet last season, Devers went from June 10 to
Sept. 15 without an opposite-field home run.
He lowered his hands this year in an attempt to
catch up with the ever-rising velocity around base-
ball. Also, Devers took his hands from near his hel- fourth-lowest mark in baseball.
met down to his chest area to quell movement,
leading to more controlled moves that enable him
to work to the opposite field more.
Devers still hit .271/.351/.500 with an .851
OPS and 33 homers in 2023. He drove in 100 runs
and took home his second Silver Slugger award.
But he was too hot and cold throughout the year
and didn’t really get going until the last couple of
months of the season when the Sox were out of
contention.
The shift in his hand placement will help him
keep an opposite-field approach, and thus, more
consistency even when he doesn’t necessarily feel
his best.
“There’s going to be plenty of opportunity to
pull,” said hitting coach Pete Fatse. “We’re just get-
ting him more aligned with left field.”
Trevor Story: Story is healthy, had a full spring
training, and has established himself, at the very
least, as a player who can play elite shortstop. But
that would be selling Story short (no pun intend-
ed), forgetting that he was one of the best offensive Julian McWilliams can be reached at
shortstops in baseball with the Rockies.
Story was in survival mode last year, switching
explored in trade options during the offseason. No
trade materialized.
Yoshida, who inked a five-year, $90 million deal
with the Sox prior to the 2023 season, fizzled to-
ward the end of the season but still wound up with
a respectable .289/.338/.445 slash line to go along
with a .783 OPS and 15 homers. He struggled with
the MLB schedule, which is more demanding than
that of Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan.
Yoshida worked on his body during the offsea-
son, and hopes that can be the antidote in 2024.
That, in conjunction with experi-
ence.
“The lessons I learned last year
definitely will help with everything
going forward, like with travel and
all that stuff,” he said through a
translator.
Yoshida wasn’t accustomed to
seeing so many arms in the NPB ei-
ther, compared with the majors.
“There were only 12 teams in
the NPB, compared to 30 here,” he
said.
Tyler O’Neill: O’Neill has a
chance to be an impact player, but
will he remain healthy? Tough to
predict. He played in just 168
games the last two seasons.
He dealt with a calf injury dur-
ing camp that only highlighted his
injury woes more. So, of course, the
main goal is to stay healthy.
“The training staff wants to do everything they
can to keep me in the best shape that I can be, to
be able to play 160 games this year, so that’s the
main goal for me,” said O’Neill. “They’re taking
good care of me in there.”
Pitchers
Manager Alex Cora believes his club will be in
good shape if the rotation makes it through a com-
bined 25 innings each time around. Red Sox start-
ers combined for just 774‚ innings last year, the
Kutter Crawford, who struggled to get through
five-plus innings per game, has made it his mis-
sion to eat up innings this year.
“I want to make at least 30 starts,” said Craw-
ford. “Then, at least, bare minimum 162 innings.
I’m shooting for 180.”
Brayan Bello: The righthander, who had stami-
na issues toward the second half last year, echoed
some of Crawford’s thoughts.
“I have to work hard and keep improving,” said
Bello. “Be ready each season.”
Bello will take the ball on Opening Day.
Tanner Houck: He will have to throw strikes if
he wants to remain a starter. Period. Houck will
have to turn over lineups, too, more than once. So
what’s one of his goals? Pound the zone.
“As long as I am in the zone, attacking hitters,
getting them out early, and not really going five or
six pitches [per at-bat], I like my chances of going
deep into the game,” Houck said.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Ced-
danne Rafaela will take center
stage for the Red Sox at the out-
set of the season.
The defensively gifted out-
fielder has made the Opening
Day roster.
The 23-year-old hit .241/
.281/.386 in a 23-game big
league cameo at the end of 2023.
This spring, he’s hitting .275/
.327/.569 with three homers in
19 games, while also flashing
elite defense.
Though Rafaela had im-
pressed throughout the spring,
he still felt a pang of uncertainty
when manager Alex Cora sum-
moned him for a conversation
Saturday afternoon.
“I was kind of nervous. I
didn’t know what was going to
happen in that moment. I’ve
been waiting for it all spring.
Obviously, I was excited [for the
news],” said Rafaela, who called
his parents, his wife, and his
brother upon being informed.
“To see the [offseason] work pay
off, obviously it’s good. But I’ve
got to keep working, keep get-
ting better. I want to have a long
season through October.”
Cora praised Rafaela for his
work during the offseason and
spring training.
“He’s very dynamic, athletic,
versatile, and he’s a good kid,
too,” said Cora. “He’s going to
get a lot of at-bats, and most of
the time he’s going to play center
field. I do believe he makes us
better, more dynamic. . . . It
should be fun to watch him go
out there and perform.”
At the end of 2023, Rafaela’s
undisciplined approach at the
plate in the big leagues made it
seem as if he might need more
offensive seasoning in Triple A
to begin this season. But ulti-
mately, the Sox — the worst de-
fensive team in baseball last year
— viewed Rafaela’s glove as a
difference-maker, and believe
that its value overrides the un-
avoidable offensive inconsisten-
cy of a rookie transitioning to
the big leagues.
“If we don’t play [better] de-
fense, then we’re going to be in
the same spot [as 2023]. With
him in center field, him at sec-
ond, him at short, we’ll be good couraged by the potential of the

Don’t be surprised if backstop Teel is a future backbone of Sox

lefthanded-hitting catcher with
a rifle arm, an infielder’s athleti-
cism, and a coach’s brain. The
Red Sox would love nothing
more than for his continued de-
velopment to let them plant him
behind the plate as an anchor to
a more competitive future, a
rock-solid foundation at a high-
value position.
It’s a lot to put on a young
player, but if management in-
sists on continuing its cost-cut-
ting and bargain-hunting, this is
the best, most optimistic way
forward.
“We definitely have that next
wave of players we’re excited
about, a mix of being excited
about what they’re capable of
and holding ourselves account-
able to get them there,” said
Devin Pearson, the team’s direc-
tor of amateur scouting.
Hopeful eyes are cast toward
the young core of talent working
its way toward Fenway Park —
toward 21-year-old shortstop
Marcelo Mayer and 19-year-old
outfielder Roman Anthony, the
other two-thirds of the Red Sox’
“big three.”
The only one of them with
college experience, Teel played
three seasons for Virginia, a ca-
reer that included ACC Player of
the Year honors, the Buster
Posey National Collegiate Catch-
er of the Year award, and a final-
year .407 average that left the
Red Sox thrilled when he was
available with their 14th overall
pick in last year’s draft.
His swift ascension in the mi-
nors — from rookie league to
Double A while slashing .363/
.482/.495 in 26 games in 2023 —
amped up the anticipation for
this year, which saw him in mi-
nor league camp and making
one appearance in a big league
spring game. He should begin
the season in Double A Portland,
but if you ask him, the location
matters less than the effort.
“The way I look at it, where I
land is not really my decision,”
Teel said. “The only thing I can
control is what I do day to day,
how much work I put in, and
making sure I’m healthy and
ready to play baseball. Control
the controllables — I’ve had that
driven into me since I was a
young kid.”
Still, as Anthony said after a
spring game in which he
knocked out two hits, “ With
Kyle, with Marcelo, a couple of
other guys, yes, we all have the
same goal to push each other
and get there as fast as we possi-
bly can to help this team win.”
. . .
For Teel, the path toward the
majors was laid not just by the
cousins of his younger days, but
by an extended family gene pool
that all but promised to result in
his genetic perfect storm. In a
small New Jersey town tucked
not 20 miles from New York City,
the Teels are athletic royalty, a
few generations of names filling
the record books of Ridgefield
Park High School. Kyle was built
on their broad, athletic shoul-
ders.
Start with his grandfather
Henry and his great-uncle John,
brothers who each had five chil-
dren. Those eight boys and two
girls were all in high school at
the same time, which resulted in
many players on many teams.
They, and Teels all around them,
excelled in sports.
Kyle’s great uncle Danny was
drafted by the Yankees in 1976.
His father Garrett, the youngest
of those 10 concurrent cousins,
would turn a Division 3 baseball
career and Cape Cod League ex-
ploits into an 11th-round draft
selection by the Dodgers. Anoth-
er uncle, Mike, was a fantastic
prep football player in Ridgefield
Park whose son, Mike Jr., was a
standout quarterback at a near-
by private school, and then a star
for Rutgers with a brief NFL
stint in Seattle.
Another cousin, Thomas, was
an all-state running back at an-
other local public school who
would win a national champion-
ship at Villanova. And then
there’s Kyle’s mother, Janine
LiButti, whose name appears 14
times in the softball record book
for New Jersey’s William Pater-
son University.
Is it any wonder that Aidan
followed big brother Kyle to play
college baseball at Virginia,
where his two-way exploits have
earned him the nickname “Mini
Shohei”?
“I remember being able to go
out and ask my mom to have a
catch with me, and I also re-
member reaching the age where
my mom was like, ‘You need to
slow it down,’ ” Teel said. “When
it comes to my dad, I was with

Simon’s end shows it’s time to stop fighting
Kevin Paul Dupont
K
nown best in his NHL
days as both a fearless
fighter and kind, caring
teammate, Chris Simon
succumbed to his fight
within this past Monday, taking his
own life at age 52.
According to reports throughout the
week, members of Simon’s family con-
tend that it was the former Stanley Cup
champion’s struggle with CTE (chronic
traumatic encephalopathy), presum-
ably triggered by blows to the head in
his years as an enforcer/pugilist, that
led to his suicide.
“The family strongly believes and
witnessed firsthand, that Chris strug-
gled immensely from CTE, which un-
fortunately resulted in his death,” read
the family’s statement. “We are grieving
with the loss of our son, brother, father,
partner, teammate, and friend.”
A believable and understandable
contention, considering the scientific
research studies around CTE, including
extensive work based here in Boston,
over the last couple of decades. One im-
portant caveat: As of today, a CTE diag-
nosis only can be confirmed via autop-
sy. Science continues to evolve, though,
and researchers increasingly make a
strong case that blows to the head — in-
cluding those that are subconcussive —
cause the neurodegenerative disorder.
None of that is an attempt to dis-
credit the Simon family’s belief, nor
does it assuage the pain and grief of
anyone who loved Simon. Yet it’s a re-
minder that we first should let the sci-
ence — and presumed autopsy — play
out. Also, if Simon did have CTE, the
fact remains science has yet to discern
why some athletes who take similar
poundings, many over the course of
years, don’t develop or possibly remain
impervious to the disease.
The NHL has clung to that latter
point in part as a means to deflect cul-
pability or negligence in these cases. No
surprise. It is trying to protect a grow-
ing, multibillion-dollar enterprise, and
for now it has the inconclusive science
on its side. If one day the science reach-
es the beyond-the-shadow-of-a-doubt
stage, the bet here is that NHL owners
already have crafted a more refined re-
sponse to fend off litigation. They’ve
had a long time to think about it.
“On all these matters,” said NHL
commissioner Gary Bettman, after first
offering his condolences regarding Si-
mon, “we wait to see what the medical
experts tell us.”
To your faithful puck chronicler, the
league on this matter sounds like a
bunch of climate-change deniers in tai-
lored suits, but I readily acknowledge
that someone who has chosen, of own
free will and mind, to spend decades
chronicling Zambonis going in circles
may not be your No. 1 go-to guy for le-
gal or scientific opinion. When put on
the spot, I can come up with a precise
explanation of two-line offside, most
days without having to use my hands.
Not a lot of docs or lawyers can do that.
History has shown that ex-NHL
tough guys Derek Boogaard and Bob
Probert were CTE-positive. Boogaard,
28, died via suicide in 2011. Probert,
45, died in 2010, suffering a heart at-
tack while boating on a hot summer
day. Per hockeyfights.com, Boogaard
had 184 fights in the NHL seasons
spanning 1999-2011, while Probert,
perhaps the most menacing fighter in
league history, dropped mitts 242
times, 1985-2002.
Simon, again per hockeyfights.com,
fought 111 times in the NHL (1993-
2008), then 10 more times across his
five-season farewell tour in the Russia-
based KHL. He put down his gloves and
stick for good in 2013 at age 41, and on-
ly four years later, back living year-
round in Ontario, filed for bankruptcy.
Per reports around his May 2017
bankruptcy proceedings, Simon, then
45, had been married twice and had
five children. He claimed to be broke
(despite an estimated $15 million in ca-
reer earnings), reported some $500,000
in debt (much of it in delinquent child
support payments), and said he suf-
fered CTE-related anxiety and depres-
sion.
It already was a stark, sad picture
for Simon, who grew up in Wawa, On-
tario, a native North American of
Ojibwe heritage. Chosen No. 25 by the
Flyers in the 1990 draft, he was dealt
two years later, following his final ju-
nior season, to the Nordiques as part of
the legendary Eric Lindros trade.
The hulking (6 feet 3 inches, 230
pounds), long-haired winger made his
NHL debut with the Nordiques in 1992-
93, and on March 20 of that season
took on New Jersey’s Claude Lemieux
in his first fight. The frame was in

Turning 20 (again)
Alex Ovechkin has slowed down in his age-38 season, ranking nowhere near the league’s
top goal scorers. But he has still been good enough to reach another lofty milestone. With
a two-goal game on March 18, he reached 20 goals in a season for the 19th time. The
Capitals star is one of six players in league history to do that, and Ovechkin has eclipsed
20 goals in every season of his career.

final NHL fight was with Flames defen-
seman Jim Vandermeer, March 22,
2008.
If Simon is confirmed to have had
CTE, it’s an easy leap of faith, one that
admittedly may be impossible to prove,
that a decades-long career full of
punches to the head addled his brain
and induced the disease. It was fight-
ing, in part, that made him a valued
prospect out of junior hockey. It was his
well-chronicled “enforcer” reputation
that landed him at age 36 in Russia,
where, by the way, he rolled up a career
high of 263 penalty minutes in his first
season with Vityaz Chekhov. Wherever
he played, Simon entered swinging, It
was his bread, butter, and being.
All the science and the legal mumbo-
jumbo aside, perhaps we could agree
that Simon fought too much, especially
by the game’s more sensible 2024 stan-
dards. Other than the shooting comet
that is rookie Rangers tough guy Matt
Rempe, we don’t see his like any longer
in the NHL. That’s good. It could be
better.
Obviously, there are still guys who
can fight. The Bruins, in fact, at the
trade deadline added Pat Maroon.
Across his NHL and minor pro days,
the Big Rig has fought 143 times. A
well-timed fight can be an effective tool
for a coach, though its overall impor-
tance remains vastly overestimated.
Simon had, shall we say, his undig-
nified moments in the arena. In his
days as an Islander, he was suspended
once for 30 games, after using a skate to
stomp down on the foot of the Pen-
guins’ Jarkko Ruutu, and also for 25
games for his gruesome two-hander to
the face of Ranger Ryan Hollweg. Times
were different, yes, but those were nas-
ty, deliberate attempts to injure that
were an insult to the game.
Simon’s best days came on the Colo-
rado team that won the Cup in 1996.
He will be remembered as the once-
fierce, worn-out warrior who sadly took
his own life. We likely never will know
with certainty what part fighting played
in his decision.
A better way to remember him, in
context to prior lost souls such as
Boogaard and Probert, would be for the
NHL finally to ban the fight game. As a
league, it has tolerated it now for more
than a century. In the Original Six era,
it promoted and glorified it.
Now, with 32 teams and a product
that doesn’t need spilled blood and cha-
os to draw fans, and science closing in
from behind, it’s time to end it for good.
CAP CONSEQUENCES?
LTIR rules open
to shenanigans
The NHL general manager meetings
this past week in Florida produced little
in the way of news — a sure sign that
business is boffo — though GMs will
continue to discuss whether they’re sat-
S u n d a y G l o b e
isfied with salary cap implications of
long-term injuries.
In its current structure, the CBA al-
lows players to return from LTIR for
the playoffs without payroll conse-
quence because the cap no longer is in
effect in the postseason. There is plenty
of room there for potential shenanigans
(i.e. cooking the books to comply with
the cap), but exit reports in Florida
didn’t have GMs sounding concerned.
This was a hot topic three years ago
when an injured Nikita Kucherov was
sidelined for the regular season and,
Shazam!, returned just in time to help
the Lightning win the Cup for a second
consecutive time. The refreshed
“Kooch” contributed a team-best 8-
24–32 to the cause.
Before leaving Florida, NHL deputy
commissioner Bill Daly suggested the
32 GMs continue to discuss it, remind-
ing one and all that LTIR is a CBA pro-
vision and any proposed changes would
have to be negotiated with the players.
ETC.
Ovechkin needs
some more time
The Bruins next Saturday night will
be in Washington, where Alexander
Ovechkin won’t be inching anywhere
near Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goal
mark, and Evgeny Kuznetsov, another
key figure in the Capitals’ Cup win in
2018, exited stage south for Carolina at
the trade deadline.
Your faithful puck chronicler didn’t
envision either of those scenarios prior
to 2023-24 unfolding.
Ovechkin’s goal production, though
improved of late, has been but a trickle
most of the season. Headed into week-
end play, he stood 23-31–54, his goal
total at 845. The graying, 38-year-old
Big Russian Machine won’t flirt with
the Great One’s career haul of 894 over
this final month, and based on produc-
tion these last six months, would be
challenged to do it next season. He has
two more years ($9.5 million cap hit)
on his deal.
The Capitals, frustrated with Kuz-
netsov’s dip in production in recent
years, dumped the 31-year-old center to
the Hurricanes for a fire sale price
(Round 3 pick). An elite talent, Kuz-
netsov had a recent stay in the Players’
Assistance Program and had been
waived to AHL Hershey, the latter a
move to set the wheels in motion for his
change in scenery.
“Frustration on both sides,” GM Bri-
an MacLellan noted in the days leading
to the deal.
The Capitals not only took a pittance
in return, but also retained half of Kuz-
netsov’s $7.8 million annual payout,
through next season. That’s the defini-
tion of a motivated seller.
Meanwhile, Kuznetsov in Carolina
has rejoined old Capitals buddy Dmitry
Orlov, who had a brief stay on the Bos-

Hurricanes, Kuznetsov posted a re-
spectable 2-3–5 and the playoff-bound
Hurricanes were 7-1-0 with him in the
lineup. The sides met Friday night for
the first time since the swap.
They put in their time
James van Riemsdyk, a veteran of
1,004 regular-season games entering
Saturday, will be looking to build on his
playoff résumé of 71 games when the
Bruins start Round 1 next month.
The 71 looks somewhat light in
comparison to the 1,004, particularly
on a Boston squad that, for instance,
showed Charlie McAvoy already with
78 playoff games upon JVR’s arrival.
Prior to this season, McAvoy had logged
only 380 regular-season games.
JVR, yet to play for a Cup winner, for
playoff experience is well ahead of some
NHLers, including a couple who like-
wise are active, with 1,000-plus games
and extra-light playoff workloads.
The five players in that 1,000 group
who are the most postseason deprived:
Olli Jokinen, 1,231 games, six playoff
games; *Sam Gagner, 1,042 and 11;
Matt Stajan, 1,003 and 17; Andrew
Cassels, 1,015 and 21; *Kyle Okposo,
1,047 and 24.
* — Gagner began this season with
Edmonton, but currently is with AHL
Bakersfield; Okposo was traded from
Buffalo to Florida on March 8.
Still waiting for big move
For now, and for who knows how
long, the Coyotes look like they’ll re-
main a dinky-rink operation next sea-
son and play their 41 home games at
cozy-and-claustrophobic Mullett Arena
(seating capacity: 5,000).
The never-say-die franchise has yet
another big hurdle coming in June
when a sizable land parcel in North
Phoenix goes up for auction. If Coyotes
owner Alex Meruelo wins the bid (ap-
praised value a little less than $70 mil-
lion), that acreage could be where he fi-
nally puts up paradise, with a parking
lot and his bucket of pucks.
If not, by June it already will be too
late for the Desert Dogs to go anywhere
else for the 2024-25 season. Mean-
while, with Salt Lake City and Atlanta
(Act 3?) eager to secure a franchise, be
it by expansion or transfer/sale, anoth-
er failed land deal in Arizona could be
what finally convinces NHL commis-
sioner Gary Bettman and his fellow
Lords of the Boards to force Meruelo
into selling. Price: upward of $1 bil-
lion.
What has happened in Arizona ever
since the Jets moved there and set up
shop in 1996 would be considered too
farcical for, say, Netflix to attempt a
“Ted Lasso”-like fictionalized version of
the world’s top hockey league trying to
make a go of it in the desert. Trent
Crimm, ex- of The Independent, no
doubt would be hired to handle media
relations and coaching duties.

Rumors persist that Boston’s TD
Garden and Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena
will be the anchor cities/arenas for next
season’s inaugural Four Nations Face-
Off, involving players from the US, Can-
ada, Sweden, and Finland (a quiet mo-
ment here, please, for Czechia’s forgot-
ten sons). Logically, Boston would serve
as home base for the US and one of the
Scandinavian teams. The NHL will sus-
pend its schedule after games of Feb. 9
and tourney play will begin two days
later, following two days of workouts.
The gold medal game will be Feb. 20.

Feb. 22 . . . In that legendary Eric Lin-
dros deal of June 30, 1992, involving
Chris Simon, the Flyers also sent Peter
Forsberg to the Nordiques. That should
have been enough, but the faded Broad
Street empire, enraptured with L’En-
fant Terrible’s size, also surrendered
Steve Duchesne, Ron Hextall, Mike Ric-
ci, Kerry Huffman, and a pair of Round
1 draft picks . . . Prior to the Bruins ar-
riving in town for Saturday’s matinee,
the Flyers went back-to-back games
without center Sean Couturier, finish-
ing with a win over the Maple Leafs and
an OT loss to the Hurricanes. Coach
John Tortorella opted to scratch the
healthy Couturier, only a month after
the latter was named captain. Couturi-
er: “Definitely frustrating, the way I’ve
been treated lately.” Tortorella: “I need
him to be better, that’s all.” It’s a high-
risk move by the irascible Tortorella,
one justified largely by a coach trying to
prevent his club from slipping out of
the playoff race. No telling how poten-
tial consequences play out the rest of
this season or going forward. Well liked
by teammates, Couturier, 31, has six
more years on his deal ($7.75 million
AAV) . . . The Bruins, after Saturday
with 10 games to go in the regular sea-
son, have a shot of finishing first overall
for a second straight season. If so, they
will have done it with two captains,
with Brad Marchand taking over this
season for the retired Patrice Bergeron.
Per the NHL, that has not happened
since the Canadiens did it in the sea-
sons ending in 1961 and ’62. Doug Har-
vey captained the 1960-61 Habs, fol-
lowed by Jean Beliveau in 1961-62 . . .
Tom Johnson, a core defensemen on the
great Habs teams of the 1950s coached
by Toe Blake, noted years later how
tough Blake could be on players, no
matter their position or status. “Includ-
ing the Rocket,” Johnson recalled, refer-
ring to the legendary Maurice Richard.
“He’d reach from behind the bench,
grab Rocket by the collar, and really
give it to him, for everyone to hear.
That’s OK. Everyone else on the bench
sees it and thinks, ‘Ya know, if he’s giv-
ing it to Rocket, what about me?’ ”

Gary Washburn
T
he Celtics have locked up
the No. 1 seed in the East-
ern Conference with nearly
a month left in the regular
season. And the race for
that slot has essentially been over for
weeks.
Yet the last few weeks of the regular
season will be packed with intrigue as
21 teams fight for 20 playoff spots and
several teams are battling to avoid the
play-in tournament or playing for
home-court advantage.
Here’s a look at some of the intrigu-
ing races, including for the Eastern
Conference play-in, which affects the
Celtics.
R No. 1 seed in the Western Confer-
ence. It’s a three-team race for the top
seed between the Thunder, Timber-
wolves, and Nuggets, with Oklahoma
City and Denver tied at the top, 1½
games ahead of Minnesota entering Fri-
day’s games.
The top seed may or may not have
the easiest road to the Finals, depend-
ing on who you ask. The top seed is
most likely to face the Lakers or War-
riors in the first round, and the Lakers
privately would love to face the Thun-
der, who they’ve beaten three times al-
ready this season.
The Thunder also have the most dif-
ficult road to gaining that top seed.
Their remaining schedule is treacher-
ous, with two meetings against the
Bucks, games at Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, and Indiana, as well as
against the Pelicans, Suns, and sudden-
ly-hot Rockets. The Thunder conclude
the season with a home game against
the Mavericks.
The defending champion Nuggets
will be a threat regardless of their seed
and likely have the least to lose because
of their experience.
R The play-in race in the West. While
it once appeared a cinch the Lakers and
Warriors would occupy the final two
playoff spots (9 and 10), the Rockets
have emerged as a contender and en-
tered Friday 2½ games behind the
10th-place Warriors. The Lakers en-
tered Friday a half-game ahead of the
Warriors but with eight of their final 11
games on the road, including a six-
game East Coast trip. The Lakers have
one meeting left with the Warriors
(April 9) and do not play the Rockets.
The Warriors have one meeting left
with the Rockets and nine of their final
12 games on the road.
Of the Rockets’ final 13 games, five
are against the Jazz and Trail Blazers.
But there’s also matchups with the
Thunder, Timberwolves, Mavericks
(twice), Heat, Magic, and Clippers.
R The race for No. 2 in the East, and
the play-in. The Bucks entered Friday
with a 1½-game lead over the Cavaliers
for the second seed and potential home-
court advantage in a second-round se-
ries. But the Magic (three games back)
and Knicks (3½) are lurking. Bucks
coach Doc Rivers said he’s going to try
to give his veterans some rest down the
stretch, confident in his team’s ability to
make a Finals run.
So, who will the Celtics play in the
first round? That’s left to be determined
by the play-in tournament, but the field
is close to being set with the Hawks 4½
games ahead of the reeling Nets for the

Note: Chris Paul set a
personal best, making
93.4% of his free throws
10th seed. The Hawks would need a
late-season surge to catch the Bulls for
the ninth seed, meaning they’ll likely be
headed to Chicago for the 9-10 game.
The winner of that game would play the
loser of the 7-8 game for the eighth
seed.
Just a half-game separates the Pac-
ers, 76ers, and Heat for the sixth seed,
and there is major intrigue because
Philadelphia may get reigning MVP
Joel Embiid back in time for the stretch
run. The Heat, a major threat regard-
less of their seed, have matchups left
with the 76ers and Pacers.
The 76ers still have two games left
with the Clippers and a matchup with
the Thunder, but also a season-ending
stretch that includes the Grizzlies,
Spurs, Pistons, and Nets.
Indiana, without top reserve
Bennedict Mathurin for the season, has
eight of its final 11 games against teams
competing for the playoffs.
LONG ROAD AHEAD
It’s going to take
time with Pistons
While other teams are preparing for
the playoffs, Pistons coach Monty Wil-
liams is simply trying to field a compet-
itive team and get to the end of the sea-
son. It’s been a nightmarish first year
for Williams in Detroit, a franchise that
hasn’t won a playoff series in 16 years.
The Pistons are painfully young and are
again headed for the draft lottery.
They were supposed to take a step
forward this season with a healthy
Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, and
Jalen Duren. But while that’s been good
enough to stay competitive on most
nights, it hasn’t come close to winning,
and Williams has spent the season be-
ing a life coach, leading his players
through the rigors of losing.
“Playing with confidence is some-
thing you have to bring to the table, re-
gardless of who you’re playing against,”
Williams said. “It allows you to have
success in this league because anything
can happen when you bring confidence.
If you look at our season, we’ve lost a lot
of games, the close games we’ve been in
are a reflection that we don’t give in.
Our practices are like that, our film ses-
sions are thoughtful and intentional,
and our guys just bring it. They have a
lot of pride and it’s been something I’m
absolutely proud of and we’re learning
the layers of winning.”
Williams, who was dismissed last
summer in Phoenix, accepted a six-year,
$78 million contract to help reignite the
Pistons’ rebuild. The roster has endured
a plethora of changes. Former lottery
pick Killian Hayes was waived. Bojan
Bogdanovic, Alec Burks, and Marvin
Bagley III were traded for draft capital.
Thirty players have suited up and
played at least one game for the Pis-
tons. That’s the antithesis of cohesion.
“The margins of [winning] can be
really slim at times, or it could be a mo-
ment,” Williams said. “We’re learning
what all of that looks like. I think an
open mind and heart every day to learn
that; we have to keep growing in those
areas.
“Obviously you want to win every
game, but I understood when I came
here, because of where we were in
terms of a young standpoint, it would

good week to start the season and then
everybody thought [positive], but I had
an understanding from what I saw in
film and the schedule we had and the
injuries we had that we might see some
bumps in the road. I’ve seen the reten-
tion of our system and I’ve seen that
grow over time, and that’s always given
me a lot of excitement about our fu-
ture.”
One of the major decisions going
forward is determining whether Cun-
ningham, the No. 1 overall pick three
years ago, is worthy of being a franchise
centerpiece. He’s averaging 22.2 points
and 7.6 assists and has All-Star poten-
tial, but the Pistons are 31-104 in his
135 career games.
“I think a lot’s been put on Cade for
a guy that’s that young with a lot of
young guys around him,” Williams said.
“I think as this team starts adding older
players around him, I think we’re going
to see even more. I still think there’s a
lot more there with Cade. When he
plays around a bit more-experienced
and guys who have done it, we’ll see it.
Right now, he has the mind-set to get
better. He’s open about me helping him,
the staff helping him. He’s not one of
these guys who thinks he’s learned it all
and had it all down.”
Cunningham learned a difficult les-
son this past week when he took a po-
tential winning shot against the Heat
with about nine seconds left. He missed
it, and Bam Adebayo won the game
with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer. Cun-
ningham lamented taking his shot too
early, giving the Heat an opportunity
for one final possession.
“We spent a lot of time on the
phone, talking about situations down
the stretch, walking the game down,”
Williams said. “That speaks to who he
is. He’s pretty humble about his
growth.”
ETC.
Clippers can’t
figure it out
When the Clippers came to Boston
and trounced the Celtics in late Janu-
ary, they looked like the best team in
the NBA. They had finally reached full
health and Kawhi Leonard, James
Harden, and Paul George were brim-
ming with chemistry.
Since that victory, the Clippers were
13-11 entering the weekend and com-
ing off recent losses to the Pelicans (ex-
cusable) and Hawks (inexcusable).
Russell Westbrook is expected to re-
turn soon from hand surgery, but the
Clippers are hardly the most-feared
team in the Western Conference, al-
though they may have the most talent.
Coach Tyronn Lue is pondering why
his team, stacked with veterans, has
been so inconsistent over the past two
months. It has cost them a chance at a
top seed in the West.
“I think we kind of took away from
ourselves, you know with our pacing,
our slot cuts, post feeds, baseline cuts,
to open up the middle of the floor for
Kawhi,” Lue said after the loss to Atlan-
ta. “We didn’t do it consistently
throughout the game, so we’ve just got
to do things the right way.
“We talked about taking care of the
basketball . . . we had 16 turnovers for

Note: Larry Bird (93.0%) Note: Four players have
attempted more than 100

26 points. We talked about offensive re-
bounds, which we did a better job of
throughout the course of the game, and
then we talked about fast-break points,
they had 31. So those are things that
we’ve got to lock in and be consistent
with every single night, like those are
non-negotiables and those help you win
games. So, the things we talked about
before the game, we’ve been talking
about the last two-three weeks. Tonight
was an example, if you don’t do that,
anything can happen.”
The Clippers may be the most dan-
gerous team in the West because of
their potential with Leonard, George,
and Harden. And despite Leonard play-
ing in 62 of the team’s first 68 games
and likely to qualify for NBA awards in
reaching the 65-game minimum, the
Clippers have struggled. George has
dealt with injuries and Westbrook has
missed a few weeks, but the Clippers
have not dealt well with adversity. And
they have reactivated veteran P.J.
Tucker after he asked for a trade and
sat on the bench for weeks. The Clip-
pers are looking to regain that early-
season prowess.
“When you don’t execute what
you’re supposed to execute, then any-
body can be beat in this league,” Lue
said. “Losses count no matter what. So,
it’s not a bad loss of who you’re playing
or what team, they’re all professionals
and they all play. And so, if you don’t
play hard and compete and you don’t
take care of the things you need to take
care of on a nightly basis, you could lose
any given night.”
What’s perplexing for the Clippers is
the lack of solutions to their problems.
They can’t figure out why they lose win-
nable games.
“[Inconsistent] is what we’re appear-
ing to look like, which is not good. We
want to be a team that’s consistent and
you know, we want to establish an iden-
tity,” George said. “I’ve always spoken
about having an identity, and I think it’s
extremely important. When you’re a
team that has an identity, teams know
what they’re going up against, and right
now I don’t think we have an identity.”
The Clippers are pretty good at ev-
erything but great at nothing. They en-
tered the weekend 12th in the league in
scoring and 10th in points allowed.
They were third in 3-point percentage
but just 13th in attempts. Harden,
George, Leonard, and Norman Powell
are all shooting better than 40 percent
from the arc, but it’s not an integral
part of their offense.
There appears to be confusion in
Los Angeles about how to get un-
tracked, but there’s a month left in the
season to figure it out. There is pressure
on Lue and the organization to win as
the Clippers move into a new arena in
the fall.
“All it takes is, when it comes down
to the wire and we hopefully start to
play well, iron out whatever wrinkles
we’ve got to iron out going down this
stretch — 16 [playoff] wins,” George
said. “And I believe this team can get 16
wins when we need to, when it matters
most. But we can’t look like that team
that we all think we can be if we don’t
start shaping up and looking like that
team now, then it all means nothing.”
Leonard agrees with George. The
Clippers still have championship aspi-
rations, but eventually that will need to
be proven on the floor with a string of

wins and their star trio tapping into
their potential.
“I kind of felt like we were in mud
[against the Hawks],” Leonard said.
“We didn’t really give all the effort that
we could have given. I felt like they
pretty much won in transition. Offense,
we were in mud a little bit, kind of slow-
footed. Once we get back on track,
we’ve got to look at games like this [to
prevent] turnovers. I think that was
pretty much the game. The effort
wasn’t 100 percent there, just being a
little slow-footed on the offensive end.
“I’ve got a championship mind-set,
so keep pounding until there’s no other
chance. I know we can turn it around.
Guys are saying the right things, but
now it’s trying to do it.”
Layups
The Kings bolstered their well-
earned reputation of being the most
mystifying team in the league, losing
Thursday in Washington to the Wiz-
ards, who, if you read this column a few
weeks ago, are in the running for the
worst home record in NBA history. The
Kings have lost in recent weeks to the
Rockets, Bulls, Pistons, and Heat at
home, and then failed to show up
against the league’s worst team. Also,
swingman Kevin Huerter is out indefi-
nitely with a torn shoulder labrum. Fi-
nally, the Kings, in the midst of a fight
to avoid a play-in spot, have another
East Coast trip in April that takes them
to New York, Boston, Brooklyn, and
Oklahoma City, before playing their fi-
nal three games at home. Sacramento
was expected to build off its first playoff
appearance in 17 years with standouts

but the Kings have been wildly incon-
sistent, especially in winnable games.
Going into Friday’s games, a half-game
separated the Suns, Mavericks, and
Kings for the sixth, seventh, and eighth
seeds in the West, with the team pre-
vailing avoiding the play-in tournament
and earning a first-round matchup with
the third seed. The other two are likely
to face each other in a play-in game . . .
After averaging 32.5 points in four
games with the Salt Lake City Stars of
the G League, Isaiah Thomas was
signed to a 10-day contract by the Suns,
one of his former teams. The Suns need
depth in the backcourt with backup
point guard Saben Lee on a two-way
contract and nearing his 50-game limit.
Phoenix coach Frank Vogel made it
clear that Thomas will not be part of
the rotation once the team is healthy.
The former Celtic played two minutes
in his first game and was a DNP on
Wednesday against the 76ers . . . The
Pelicans received good news Friday
when an MRI on Brandon Ingram’s
knee revealed just a bone bruise. He
will be reevaluated in two weeks. In-
gram appeared to suffer a serious injury
on Thursday against the Magic. The
Pelicans are in a fight with the Clippers
for the fourth seed in the West and
home-court advantage in the first
round . . . The Big3 league announced
its 2024 schedule, and the champion-
ship game will be Aug. 18 at TD Gar-
den. Last summer, Celtics forward
Jaylen Brown played in the Big3 All-
Star Game prior to the championship
game in London.

over these final few weeks. After
beating the Bulls, 124-113, on
Saturday night they possess a
sparkling 57-14 record and are
11½ games ahead of the second-
place Bucks in the East.
Pistons coach Monty Wil-
liams guided that Phoenix
squad two seasons ago, and he
said it is important for surging
teams to maintain the same
mind-set during these games
that might not have as much
meaning in the standings.
“I just don’t know why any-
one would ever think you don’t
have anything to play for,” Wil-
liams said. “You would think
that’s our situation [in Detroit]
because of our record [12-58],
and I just abhor that thinking. I
think it starts with that. There’s
a thought in the NBA that regu-
lar-season games don’t matter,
and you get to the playoffs, and
I’ve just seen teams lose their
rhythm with that kind of mind-
set. So from my perspective you
do everything you can to make
sure players and organizations
don’t ever adopt that.

LAKERS 101, 76ERS 94

for ninth straight win

uCELTICS
Continued from Page C1
wants his team prepared to take
different paths with different
groups. Against the Bulls, the
Celtics used their eighth starting
lineup of this nine-game streak.
There was little choice in this
game, with s tar ters Jaylen
Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and
Jrue Holiday out. Brown (ankle)
and Porzingis (hamstring) re-
ceived the night off to rest while
Holiday continues to recover
from a right shoulder sprain.
Those absences, combined
with the fact that Jayson Tatum’s
first field goal of the second half
came with just over three min-
utes left in the fourth quarter,
probably should have put the
Celtics in a tough spot. But the
backups have shown time and
again that their ascensions are
no fluke.
So there was Sam Hauser
draining 7 of 8 3-pointers and
pouring in 23 points. There was
Luke Kornet gobbling up 13 re-
bounds — five on the offensive
end to spearhead a 23-3 edge in
second-chance points. There
was Horford, less than three
months from his 38th birthday,
seizing control in the third quar-
ter en route to a 23-point night.
There were answers at every
turn.
Ta t u m f i n i s h e d w i t h 2 6
points and six assists, but even
he would acknowledge this
game was won elsewhere.
“We truly try to win every
single day and I think it shows
on the cour t ,” Hauser said.
“We’re just hungry for more.
“It’s not in our character to
just mail it in for the regular sea-
son.”
Before the game, Mazzulla
told his team he was thrilled
about this challenge because the
Bulls put pressure on opponents
in unique ways. He viewed it as
excellent playoff prep.
Chicago can go on explosive
runs that are usually ignited by
forced turnovers, and when the
Celtics fell behind early by com-
mitting four of them, the mes-
sage was sent.
“They test you on the mar-
gins,” Mazzulla said of the Bulls.
Once that issue was fixed the
Celtics got back to being one of
the most potent 3-point shoot-
ing teams the NBA has ever
seen.
With the score tied at 31 at
the start of the second quarter,
Hauser recaptured the form that
put him on the brink of setting a
single-game 3-point record be-
fore he was injured against the
Wizards last Sunday. He was 3
for 3 from beyond the arc in the
period and 4 for 5 in the half,
with the Celtics taking a 66-60
lead to the break.
Horford carried the offense
during the third quarter, helping
Boston push back another
stretch of hot shooting by Chica-
go.
He barreled down the lane
for layups, aggressively sought
his shot on post-ups, and poured
in two 3-pointers. He had 12
points and four rebounds in the
period, allowing the Celtics to
offset a quiet quarter from Tat-
um, who was 0 for 4 from the
field with a turnover following a
19-point first half.
“ The guys did a good job
finding me and putting me in
certain positions,” Horford said.
“I happened to be in the action
and we were punishing the ac-
tions that were continuing to
pop up.”
Tatum received his custom-
ary break to start the fourth, and
his absence could have been
more glaring on a night the Celt-
ics were already missing three
other starters.
Oshae Brissett started things
off with a cutting dunk and add-
ed a 3-pointer, helping the Celt-
ics extend their lead to 107-100
by the time Tatum returned at
the 6:30 mark. Tatum then fin-
ished off the Bulls with 6 points
and two assists, and the win
streak rolled on.
“You can’t take winning for
granted,” Mazzulla said.

BC overpowers BU
to win Hockey East
By Andrew Mahoney
GLOBE STAFF
Boston College 6 The championship
game of the 2024 Hock-
Boston University 2 ey East men’s tourna-
ment Saturday night came down to special teams.
No. 1 Boston College was nearly flawless
against No. 2 Boston University at TD Garden,
converting its first four opportunities with the
man advantage, while also killing off the first four
penalties it faced, to roll to a 6-2 win against its
longtime rivals and capture its 12th conference
tournament title, most in the league.
“Special teams were obviously a big part of it,”
said BC coach Greg Brown after his squad clinched
its first conference tourney title in 12 years. “Both
our power play and penalty kill had a very good
night . . . All in all, it was a very solid effort by our
guys. We beat a very good team.”
Lexington native Will Smith scored four goals,
the first two in the first period on the power play,
to stake the Eagles to a 2-0 lead. He added an assist
on BC’s third goal to give him an NCAA-best 67
points (23 goals, 44 assists) and take home tourna-
ment MVP honors.
BC (31-5-1) will enter the NCAA Tournament
as the No. 1 seed, and will find out its next oppo-
nent and destination Sunday evening when the
brackets are announced. The Eagles are expected
to be in Providence.
Even with the loss, BU (26-9-2) will still be the
second overall seed and will be placed as the No. 1
seed in a different regional. Maine (23-11-2) and
UMass (20-13-3) will also be representing Hockey
East in the NCAAs.
Smith’s first goal came when he sent the puck
to the front of the net, where Gabe Perreault was
battling BU defenseman Cade Webber for posi-
tion. The puck never reached Perreault though, in-
stead deflecting off BU captain Case McCarthy’s
skate and past Mathieu Caron (23 saves) for the
score.
“Those are always nice when you get a little
lucky bounce there,” said Smith. “We wanted to
throw stuff on net. “I was looking for Gabe back-
door and it went in and got everything started,
and it was nice.”
Smith had his second of the night less than
three minutes later at 8:37. With Lane Hutson in
Goalie Mathieu Caron couldn’t watch Boston College’s Will Smith (bottom left) pour it on.
the box for tripping, Perreault sent a cross-ice pass
to Smith, who beat Caron far side with a blast from
the right circle. BC led 2-0 after the first, with BU
holding a 12-8 shot advantage but unable to con-
vert on two power play chances of its own.
“Clearly we didn’t get it done on the penalty
kill,” said BU coach Jay Pandolfo. “We couldn’t fig-
ure it out, so that was really, I guess the biggest dif-
ference in the game, when you give up four power-
play goals. I thought at times five-on-five we
played pretty well.”
BU would finally score 4:24 into the second
when freshman Gavin McCarthy sent in a wrister
from the point that beat Jacob Fowler (34 saves)
glove side. It was the first collegiate goal for McCa-
rthy.
The intensity picked up toward the end of the
second period, with BU appearing to have several
chances to even the score when Nick Zabaneh sent
the puck to Dylan Peterson, who dropped it back
for Zabaneh as he cut to the net, but the seedy se-
nior was denied by Fowler. Peterson had another
opportunity on the rebound, but Fowler was in po-
sition for the save.
The Eagles would turn the tables one minute
later when BU senior Luke Tuch was whistled for
board. Sophomore Cutter Gauthier one timed a
feed from Perreault for his nation-leading 35th
goal at 18:46 for the 3-1 lead.
The Eagles pulled away in the third, scoring the
first two goals as the lead ballooned to 5-1. Smith
had a great opportunity for a hat trick at 6:32
when he got to a rebound after Ryan Leonard
drove to the net, but Caron’s reflexes allowed him
to make the glove save.
Just 14 seconds later though, hats came cascad-
ing onto the ice after Leonard again carried the
puck to the front of the net before dishing it off to
an open Smith, who flicked it past Caron for the
4-1 lead.
Perreault added a power play goal at 11:32 to
give BC the four-goal edge.
After Macklin Celebrini scored at 14:45 of the
third period for the Terriers only power-play goal
in five attempts, Smith capped the scoring with an
empty-netter at 18:04 to account for the final mar-
gin.

BC goaltender Jacob Fowler had 34 saves for the No. 1 Eagles in their Hockey East title win.
If they meet again, it’ll
likely be for a bigger title
John Powers
ON COLLEGE HOCKEY
Not since 1978 when it was the O’Callahans
and Fidlers and Craigs and Mullens and Skid-
mores and Boston University beat Boston College
for the NCAA hockey title in Providence had we
seen such a clash of local titans as we did Saturday
night before a full house at TD Garden.
This time it was the Eagles and Terriers facing
off for the Hockey East title for the first time since
2006 and only the third time ever.
And BC, which had waited a dozen years to
wear the crown, turned in a dominant perfor-
mance, hammering BU, 6-2, with four goals from
Lexington freshman Will Smith.
More significantly, here were the country’s top
two varsities going head-to-head in what could be
a preview of coming attractions when the Frozen
Four takes place in St. Paul next month.
Both BC and BU are guaranteed to be No. 1
seeds in the 16-team tournament whose draw will
be announced Sunday night. If form holds they’ll
meet for the championship in what would be a
throwback to the days when Hockey East had an
annual reservation in the title game.
At least one member of the conference has ap-
peared in 20 of the last 31 finals, including eight
straight between 1997 and 2004. During the last
three decades five Hockey East teams have
claimed 10 crowns, most recently Massachusetts
in 2021.
The best run belonged to Boston College which
produced more hardware than Paul Revere, win-
ning four championships between 2001 and 2012.
The last one coincided with the last time that the
Eagles won the Hockey East tournament.
That was the drought that the Eagles, who won
the regular-season pennant, were seeking to end
in the Garden where BC lost to its archrivals in last
month’s Beanpot semifinals and hadn’t been beat-
en since.
“Tonight was unbelievable,” said Smith, who
was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Play-
er. “We had expectations coming into this year. I
mean, 12 years is a long time. We knew that com-
ing into this game. It’s amazing how we finally got
one back to Chestnut Hill.”
The championship aside, it has been a terrific
campaign for Hockey East, which weeks ago
locked up three NCAA berths after earning only
two last year and now has a fourth.
Maine, which had BU back on its heels in a 4-1
defeat that was decidedly closer than what the
scoreboard showed, made it to the big stage for
the first time in a dozen years as a No. 2 seed.
BARRY CHIN/GLOBE STAFF
“It’s been a special experience for all of us be-
cause we have such a special hockey community
up in Orono, really the whole state,” said coach
Ben Barr, whose Black Bears downed defending
national champion Quinnipiac and beat and tied
BC during the regular season.
Hockey East people were hoping for five spots
but both New Hampshire and Providence sagged
down the stretch. But they were delighted to col-
lect a fourth after UMass grabbed one despite Fri-
day’s 8-1 loss to BC.
The Minutemen were hanging by a bootlace
after dropping six of their last 10 to slip down to a
tie for 14th with Colorado College in the PairWise
rankings that determine the NCAA field.
Two teams outside the top 16 — Michigan Tech
from the CCHA and RIT from the Atlantic –
earned automatic spots by winning their confer-
ence titles.
That left UMass and CC, separated by thou-
sandths of a percentage point, for the last at-large
spot. Jim Connelly, US College Hockey Online’s
bracketology expert, reckoned that of the 32 math-
ematical scenarios going into Saturday night only
37 percent favored the Minutemen.
“I’m not on the computer doing, what if this
guy wins?,” said UMass coach Greg Carvel. “I don’t
do that, but you hear things. It’ll come right down
to the wire and if we make it, great. And if we
didn’t we have only ourselves to blame.”
But when Cornell defeated St. Lawrence and
Denver beat Omaha on Saturday, UMass got its
ticket.
As far as Hockey East’s national title chances
go, the conference likely would have been better
off had UMass missed out. Ordinarily, BU would
be playing in Springfield, a short bus ride from
campus, with BC in nearby Providence.
But since UMass is the venue host it has to be
in Springfield as a No. 4 seed. And since rules pre-
vent teams from the same conference meeting in
the first round, the Terriers likely will be dis-
patched to Missouri.
That’s what happened to BC in 2011. Although
the Eagles were defending champions and the
third overall seed, UNH was hosting in Man-
chester as a No. 4. So BC had to wing away to St.
Louis where it was beaten soundly by Colorado
College.
This year everything has been breaking the Ea-
gles’ way. Traditionally, the trophy they’re most fo-
cused on is the one that’s in the building. That’s
how they’ve won a couple of shelves full over the
decades. Now that BC has hoisted the one avail-
able on Causeway Street there’s an even bigger one
available in Minnesota. On the Heights, they re-
member what that one looks like, too.

tra bids would be for, not the Little Guys
that get boxed out if they don’t win their
conference tournament, like Larry
Bird’s alma mater, Indiana State, this
year.
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said
as much to ESPN: “We are giving away
highly competitive opportunities for au-
tomatic qualifiers [from smaller
leagues], and I think that pressure is go-
ing to rise as we have more competitive
basketball leagues at the top end be-
cause of expansion.”
Translation: He demands more big-
time conference teams on the bubble be
included.
Talk about killing the golden goose.
The egalitarian nature of the tourney is
precisely why people love and invest in
it, emotionally and monetarily. The Da-
vid vs. Goliath nature of the bracket is
one of its most enduring and endearing
appeals.
If Sankey and others get their way,
the Cinderellas in sneakers could be-
come second-class citizens with a caste
system forcing them to play each other
first to gain access to the start of the real
tournament.
The inclusion of more Power 4 (SEC,
Big Ten, ACC, Big 12) football schools’
basketball programs could mean teams

“We’re what make this tournament
— the Little Guy,” said Oakland
men’s coach Greg Kampe.
through play-in games similar to the
tournament’s current First Four format,
reducing the probability of Cinderella
tournament runs.
Currently, there are 32 automatic
bids handed out to conference tourna-
ment champions and 36 at-large berths.
The bids added to the field would be at-
large berths ostensibly earmarked for
power conference schools. It would be
the NCAA Tournament version of grade
inflation.
You’re not good enough to make the
grade? We’ll just bloat the field to let
you in.
Swell.
Call it college basketball karma. But
Sankey has seen the SEC victimized in
the two biggest upsets of the tourna-
ment thus far — Oakland over Kentucky
and Yale felling SEC tournament cham-
pion Auburn — and five of the eight SEC
entrants bounced in the first round.
Before guiding Oakland to an upset
of John Calipari’s latest collection of
NBAers-in-training, coach Greg Kampe
made the case for not boxing out the
hoops have-nots.
“What I’m saying is, don’t keep us
out. You know, we’re what make this
tournament — the Little Guy,” he told
reporters. “Why does everybody love
[the movie] ‘Hoosiers,’ right? The great-
est movie, why? Because the Little Guy
. . . That’s what college basketball is.
That’s why it’s one of the three greatest
sporting events in the world . . . Don’t
take that away from us.”
Amen.
To his credit, Calipari, whose pro-
gram is the personification of a recruit-
ing-rich blue blood, agreed.
“Don’t mess with something that’s
great,” he said.
But this isn’t a decision that will be
made by coaches or based on ideologi-
cal merit. It will be determined by con-
ference commissioners and university
presidents based on self-interest and
money like everything else in college
sports.
You possibly can make a case for a
modest expansion to 72. There are 362
schools playing Division 1 basketball.
Thamel pointed out there were 282 in
1985, when the field spiked to 64 teams.
The field has fluctuated over the last
almost 50 years. In 1975, it doubled to
32. Then it went to 40 teams in 1979
and 48 in 1980. After being bumped up
to 64 in 1985, an additional spot was
added in 2001, and then the current 68-
team setup with the First Four was in-
troduced in 2011.
Yet, the ills of expansion are myriad.
You’re messing with one of the holy
grail sporting events in American cul-
ture. You have a format that is familiar,
fair, and works. Plus, the proposed ex-
pansion isn’t about greater access or
fairness; it’s about accommodating
mega-conference constituents.
Access to the College Football Playoff
and lucrative television conference pay-
outs are fueling conference consolida-
tion/expansion, but one of the side ef-
fects of that drug is reduced access to
the men’s basketball NCAA Tourna-
ment.
It’s not a coincidence that this issue
is coming up now. Next season, pro-
pelled by Lord Football, the SEC will
add Oklahoma and Texas to reach 16
members. The Big Ten will welcome a
West Coast contingent of USC, UCLA,
Oregon, and Washington to expand to
18. The ACC boasts 15 basketball mem-
bers, including Notre Dame.
The Big Ten got six bids this year.
The ACC got five. The reality of mega-
conferences where two-thirds of the
members miss the NCAA Tournament
is anathema to those conferences and
their members.
Football supersedes everything, so if
uber conferences have to ruin the NCAA
Tournament and run roughshod over it,
they will. The nuclear threat is that the
college football power conferences,
egged on by the SEC and Big Ten, leave
the NCAA altogether if they don’t get
their way and start their own compet-
ing college sports organization.
Hopefully, common sense prevails
and the tournament is left at 68 for the
foreseeable future, pending greater ex-
amination of the ramifications of ex-
pansion.
However, little these days in college
sports is based on common sense. It’s
based on dollars and cents and the bur-
geoning binary between want-it-alls
and have-nots.
Sadly, not even the quintessential
college sports event appears immune
from that upsetting reality.

MEN’S NOTEBOOK
N.C. State survives
Oakland in OT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DJ Burns Jr. scored 24 points, includ-
ing a go-ahead putback that ignited a
9-0 run in overtime, and 11th-seeded
North Carolina State beat 14th-seeded
Oakland, 79-73, in the second round of
the men’s basketball tornament in Pitts-
burgh.
Powered by their versatile 6-foot-9-
inch, 275-pound forward, the Wolfpack
(24-14) advanced to the Sweet 16 for
the first time since 2015 by pulling
away from 3-point specialist Jack Gohl-
ke and the Golden Grizzlies (24-12) in
the extra period.
N.C. State will face either second-
seeded Marquette or 10th-seeded Colo-
rado in Dallas on Friday in the South
Region semifinals.
Illinois ends drought
Terrence Shannon Jr. scored 30
points, Marcus Domask added 22, and
No. 3 seed Illinois made fast work of
11th-seeded Duquesne in an 89-63 vic-
tory in Omaha, Neb., reach the NCAA
Tournament’s Sweet 16 for the first
time since 2005.
Illinois (28-8) hadn’t made it
through the first weekend of the tour-
nament in eight previous appearances.
The Illini will play No. 2 seed Iowa
State in an East Region semifinal in
Boston at TD Garden on Thursday
night. The Cyclones got 15 points from
Tamin Lipsey to advance, 67-56, over
seventh-seeded Washington State.
Oakland, which ousted third-seeded
Kentucky on Thursday, just missed be-
coming the first 14 seed to reach the
Sweet 16 since Chattanooga in 1997.
UNC now 5-0 vs. Izzo
RJ Davis scored 20 points to help
North Carolina beat Michigan State, 85-
69, in Charlotte, N.C., pushing the Tar
Heels to the Sweet 16 while keeping
them unbeaten in March Madness
against Spartans Hall of Fame coach
Tom Izzo.
Harrison Ingram made five 3-point-
ers and scored 17 points for the West
Region’s top seed, which continued its
NCAA success in its home state. North-
Carolina (29-7) ran off 17 straight
points during a 23-3 run over the last
eight minutes of the first half to erase a
12-point deficit, then continued an-
swering every push by the Spartans af-
ter halftime.
The Tar Heels improved to 5-0 in the
tournament against Izzo, including vic-
tories in the 2005 Final Four and 2009
title game. They move on to the region-
al semifinals in Los Angeles, where they
will face either Grand Canyon or Ala-
bama on Thursday night.

edness of this work. We had a cordial
conversation and he responded formal-
ly with a short statement defending the
book’s fairness. Swell. Kraft’s response
to the book’s fairness was to send it out
to Patriots season ticket-holders as a
party favor.
Benedict worked with Apple as a
producer and is credited as the writer of
the series. He has emerged as com-
mander-in-chief of the Patriots media
cartel and certainly qualifies to be a cer-
emonial lighthouse bell-ringer for a
2024 Gillette game. As Volin pointed
out, the final credit of every episode
reads, “Copyright Kraft Dynasty LLC
2024.”
Got that? Not the Patriot Dynasty.
Not the Brady Dynasty. Certainly not
the Belichick Dynasty. It’s the “Kraft Dy-
nasty,” and don’t you forget it.
In this series, Kraft emerges as the
inventor and savior of the Patriots, a be-
nevolent owner who always tries to do
the right thing and the man who held
the whole thing together while Evil Bill
and wonderful “Tommy” grew apart.
We see nothing of Kraft’s 1998 deal
to move the team to Hartford, and don’t
wait underwater for any reference to
Orchids of Asia. Bob and Jonathan are
the hero of every story (did you know
that it was Jon who ordered Bill to get
rid of Aaron Hernandez?), a father and
son who somehow won despite a needy
quarterback named Tommy and a petty,
overrated meany coach named
Belichick.
Bill Belichick is ripped by his players
for his love letter to Donald Trump on
the eve of the 2016 election, but there’s
no mention of Kraft’s $1 million dona-
tion to the Trump inaugural fund. And
did we really need Rupert Murdoch’s
homage to Bob, which practically put
B o s t o n
nation-best streak of trips to the Sweet
16 to nine.
Anton Watson shot 8 for 11 for 21
points on an afternoon when basically
everyone in a navy jersey in Salt Lake
City was a star, especially after halftime,
when the fifth-seeded Zags (27-7) made
their first five 3-pointers of the second
half, not missing from long range until
1:30 remained. Mark Few’s team will
make its regular trip to the second
weekend to play the winner of Sunday’s
game between Purdue and Utah State.
It’s May in Michigan
Coach Dusty May is going to Michi-
gan, returning to his Big Ten roots and
leaving Florida Atlantic after six sea-
sons highlighted by a Final Four run
that thrust him into the national spot-
light a year ago.
Michigan president Santa Ono, in a
social media post, announced the hir-
ing. May and the Wolverines were in
the process of finalizing details of what
was expected to be a five-year contract,
according to a person who spoke to the
Associated Press on condition of ano-
nymity.
May, who went 126-69 in six years at
FAU, will replace Juwan Howard, a for-
mer Michigan star who was fired after
five seasons with the Wolverines. How-
ard went 82-67 with two NCAA Tourna-
ment appearances, but the Wolverines
went 8-24 this season — the school’s
worst record since 1960-61.
Banding together
For this weekend, the University of
Idaho marching band has adopted a
new name.
It’s not the Vandal Marching Band.
It’s the “Van-Dogs Marching Band” af-
ter becoming the adopted band for the
Yale basketball team during its run.
Yale’s band was unavailable to join
its team in the Pacific Northwest for the
first weekend of the NCAA Tournament
because it’s spring break on campus
and pulling together a traveling group
wasn’t possible.
But the school found some willing
stand-ins in the form of the Idaho band,
which quickly became a viral sensation
on social media following 13th-seeded
Yale’s upset victory against No. 4 seed
Auburn on Friday.
The “Van-Dogs” wore T-shirts pro-
vided by Yale and learned “Bulldog,” the
Yale fight song.
No perfect choice
It’s another year without a perfect
NCAA Tournament bracket.
Surprising wins by Yale, Oakland,
and Duquesne busted many of the
more than 22 million brackets entered
in the largest contests — ESPN’s Tour-
nament Challenge, CBS, the NCAA’s
March Madness Live — and the last
three fell Friday night when James
Madison beat Wisconsin, 72-61.
RKK on a par with Jonas Salk?
I didn’t.
In his ceaseless effort to paint him-
self as a good guy, Kraft actually ack-
nowledges that he said this to Hernan-
dez when the tight end was accused of
murdering Odin Lloyd: “I said, ‘Aaron,
tell me, did you do this? Because if you
did, I know you must have had some
good reason. I’m going to get you the
best defense lawyer we can get.’ ”
There you go. The Patriot Way.
Recalling the Belichick-Brady break-
up, Kraft recounts Tom and Gisele
Bundchen coming to Kraft’s house and
Gisele complaining, “That [expletive]
Belichick, he doesn’t treat my Tommy
like a man.”
The humanity!
Now that Belichick is gone, the
gloves are off, and everything is Bill’s
fault.
Referencing New England’s loss to
the Eagles in Super Bowl LII, Kraft says,
“I credited Bill with that loss.” The own-
er acknowledges that he ultimately
chose Belichick over Brady in 2020, but
we aren’t supposed to blame him for the
breakup.
I also found it interesting that while
the carefully Krafted “Dynasty” was be-
ing made available — and after 20 years
of photo ops and press releases (much
of it promoted by Kraft’s partners at
WBZ-TV/CBS Boston polishing the im-
age of how great the Patriots treat their
players and how much Patriots players
love playing here) — the NFL Players
Association released results of a 1,706-
player poll that revealed that New Eng-
land ranks near the bottom in overall
player satisfaction regarding treatment
by the club. The Patriots finished 29th
of 32 and got an “F-” for treatment of
players’ families. There’s nothing about
that in “The Dynasty.”

Caitlin Clark struggled to make
shots early, but finished with 27 points
and 10 assists as Iowa defeated Holy
Cross, 91-65, in a women’s NCAA Tour-
nament first-round game Saturday in
Iowa City, Iowa.
Kate Martin also had a double-dou-
ble with 15 points and 14 rebounds for
the Hawkeyes (30-4), the top seed in
the Albany 2 Regional. Iowa advanced
to Monday’s second round to face
eighth-seeded West Virginia, a 63-53
winner over No. 9 seed Princeton.
Bronagh Power-Cassidy had 19
points for Holy Cross (21-13) and
Janelle Allen had 18, but the Crusaders
missed their first 10 shots of the fourth
quarter and shot just 32.4 percent from

Holy Cross made 12 3-pointers in
Thursday’s 72-45 First Four win over
UT-Martin, but were just 7 of 34 on 3-
pointers in this game, with only three
in the second half.

All-American Paige Bueckers and
her teammates had a special gift for
UConn coach Geno Auriemma on his
70th birthday — a 30th consecutive
first-round win in the NCAA Tourna-
ment.
Bueckers scored 28 points with 11
rebounds and 7 assists, freshman Ash-
lynn Shade added 26 points, and the
No. 3-seeded Huskies beat Jackson
State, 86-64, in Storrs, Conn.
“Happy birthday, Grandpa,” Bueck-
ers said at the postgame news confer-
ence, as her coach flicked water from
his drinking cup in her direction.
Aaliyah Edwards, wearing a mask
after missing two games with a broken
nose, had 20 points and 10 rebounds
for the Huskies (30-5), who took con-
trol of the game early and led by as
many as 28 points.
Bledsoe, Bill Parcells, Tommy Brady,
and Bill Belichick are all gone. Now we
just have the Krafts and a 4-13 team
starting over. Bob gets to keep cam-
paigning for a gold jacket in Canton

visible general manager with all the
power and none of the accountability.

Brown is legit. Boston sports fans
should know her. Her mother was the

CBS before marrying Celtics owner
John Y. Brown, who became governor of
Kentucky.
The late John Y. was the short-term
Celtics owner who went behind Red

NCAA pulls official at half
The NCAA changed one of the offi-
cials at the half of N.C. State’s 64-45 win
over Chattagnooga in Raleigh, N.C., be-
cause of a background conflict.
Tommi Paris was removed from the
first-round game and replaced by An-
gelica Suffren, who had worked the
first contest at the site.
“It was learned after the game had
started that Umpire 2 Tommi Paris had
a background conflict that, if known,
would prevent her from working that
assigned game,” the NCAA said in a
statement.
An online profile for Paris says that
she received a master’s degree from
Chattanooga. The NCAA asks all offi-
cials to disclose school affiliations to

in the Division Series in 2019 despite

with another 106-win team, losing in
the NLDS with a 111-win team in 2022
and losing to the 84-win D-Backs in the

During the game, referee Michael

the back of his upper left thigh. He
walked around the court in obvious

standby Demoya Pugh.
Mulkey peeved by Post
LSU coach Kim Mulkey lashed out at
and threatened legal action against the
Washington Post, saying the paper has
spent two years pursuing a “hit piece”
about her and that it gave her a dead-
line to answer questions this past week
while the defending national champion
Tigers were preparing for the NCAA
Tournament.
“The lengths he has gone to try to
put a hit piece together,” Mulkey said of
award-winning Post reporter Kent
Babb, whom she did not mention by
name. “After two years of trying to get
me to sit with him for an interview, he
contacts LSU on Tuesday as we were
getting ready for the first-round game
of this tournament with more than a
dozen questions, demanding a response
by Thursday, right before we’re sched-
uled to tip off. Are you kidding me?
“This was a ridiculous deadline that
LSU and I could not possibly meet, and
the reporter knew it. It was just an at-
tempt to prevent me from commenting
and an attempt to distract us from this
tournament. It ain’t going to work.”
Babb, a 14-year veteran of the Post,
confirmed to the Associated Press that
he is working on a profile of Mulkey,
but declined further comment.

R Holy Cross’s women’s basketball
victory Thursday over Tennessee-Mar-
tin meant the Crusaders got to play Sat-
urday against Caitlin Clark and top-
seeded Iowa in Iowa City. It was a 16
seed vs. a 1 seed, but it gave the Crusad-
ers their greatest national exposure in
program history.
R Best wishes to NBC Sports Boston’s
Amina Smith, who is bound for ESPN.
R Go to Amazon and pick up Billy
Raynor’s “Why Black Men Nod At Each
Other (some lessons and observations
on life).” Raynor, a state champ at Cath-
olic Memorial under coach Ronnie Per-
ry Sr., is New England basketball royal-
ty. He played at Dartmouth and has
coached at Holy Cross, Brown, Harvard,
Mass. Bay, and Framingham State.
R RIP Paul Ryder, beloved son of
Rhode Island, Stoneham, and Cam-
bridge, who was the longtime director
of recreation for the City of Cambridge
and tirelessly served community youth
groups for most of his 71 years. His in-
volvement with the Cambridge Pro-
gram (Helping Turn Disabilities Into
Capabilities) led to the creation of the
DePasquale Universal Design Play-
ground and was perhaps the crowning
achievement of his life’s work.
R Heartfelt thanks to all who have
reached out since my February surgery.
You are the best readers in Boston
sports history. Please know that I plan
to be back full-time, but it is probably
going to be a while.
R Quiz answer: Derek Lowe (2002),
Pedro Martinez (2002), Curt Schilling
(2004), Josh Beckett (2007), Rick Por-
cello (2016).

What the deal over

commissions could
mean for consumers

O
n March 15, the Na-
tional Association of
Realtors reached a set-
tlement in a class-ac-
tion lawsuit that calls
for them to pay $418
million over four years
and institute changes in how it handles
commissions.
Some fear those changes will make it
harder and more expensive for buyers.
Every real estate sale is different, but the
way it typically works in Massachusetts is
this: When a homeowner chooses to list a
property for sale with a real estate agent, the
two sign a contract. In that contract, the
seller agrees to pay the agent a certain per-
centage of the sale price when the deal clos-
es. That percentage is negotiable, but that
tidbit of information hasn’t always been
shared with the seller.
If the buyer has an agent, the listing
agent usually agrees to split the commis-
sion, which sometimes is built into the ask-
ing price. Home sellers argue that they
shouldn’t have to pay the buyer’s agent, who
doesn’t represent their interests.
In 2019, sellers sued the National Associ-
ation of Realtors, Keller Williams, and
HomeServices of America in a class-action
suit over how commissions are paid. They
were awarded $1.78 billion in October 2023,
but NAR vowed to appeal.
Similar suits have popped up all over the
country, including in Massachusetts. The
“Nosalek Case,” so-named after its lead
plaintiff, was filed in December 2020
against the Multiple Listing Service Proper-
ty Information Network and multiple real
Under settlement, sellers
won’t be required to pay
the buyer’s agent.
By Jim Morrison
Globe correspondent
estate agencies over a rule that required sell-
er’s agents to offer compensation to buyer’s
agents. NAR is not a defendant in this suit.
The proposed NAR settlement would end
this case and similar suits nationwide.
Under the NAR settlement, the sellers
won’t be required to pay the buyer’s agent
commission. The agents also must tell their
clients that commissions are negotiable. In
addition, NAR agreed to prohibit realtors
from advertising on the MLS that the seller
wants to pay the buyer’s agent commission
and said it would eliminate its requirement
that members subscribe to their local MLS.
MLS PIN declined to comment on the lit-
igation.
Rich Rosa is the cofounder and co-owner
of Buyers Brokers Only LLC and the imme-
diate past president of the National Associa-
tion of Exclusive Buyer Agents. He said any
rule changes that force buyers to pay their
agents will discourage many from hiring
representation at all.
“A system that makes it harder for first-
time and lower-income home buyers to re-
tain loyal representation won’t save home-
buying consumers money,” Rosa said. “The
lack of trusted representation will lead to
costly mistakes.”
Anthony Lamacchia, broker/owner of
Lamacchia Realty, is an ardent supporter of
NAR and not directly involved in the suit.
He said the settlement will not have the ef-
fect the plaintiffs are seeking.
“In the end, these changes that the plain-
tiffs’ attorneys will be taking a victory lap on
won’t bring down commissions and [will]
actually make things less transparent,” La-
macchia said. “The good news is I have no
concern about the real estate brokerage
business living on and continuing to be alive
and well. Buyers and sellers have wanted
the assistance of realtors for over 100 years,
and this won’t change that a bit.”
In a report dated Oct. 6, 2023, before the
verdict in the case against NAR, investment
banking firm Keefe, Bruyette & Woods pre-
dicted that commissions would be decou-
pled, causing them to fall upward of 30 per-
cent and that the number of real estate
agents in the country would drop by 60 per-
cent to 80 percent.
That decoupling has been a subject of
contention in the Nosalek case. The suit was
settled last year, but the Department of Jus-
tice issued a statement of interest in Sep-
tember 2023 that forced the parties to revise
their agreement. They did. But on Feb. 15,
the DOJ issued another statement of inter-
est that was very critical of the settlement
and asked the judge not to approve it. Its
biggest complaint? The agreement did not
include the decoupling.
The Consumer Federation of America
had applauded the Justice Department fil-
ing. “This DOJ opinion virtually guarantees

Is there a nontoxic method to reglaze a tub?

The Remodeler
MARK PHILBEN
Answers your questions
about leaks, chips, cracks,
tools, and more.
Q. When I bought my condo 20 years ago, I had the
cast-iron tub resurfaced before I moved in. It peeled
shortly after, and I had it redone. Now my tub is peeling
again, and the bottom area where we stand to take show-
ers is worn. I want to have it resurfaced, but I have read
that it is toxic to do so and that you have to leave home
for three days. Are there any nontoxic alternatives to re-
surface cast-iron tubs?
D.S., Watertown
A. We have reglazed tubs before as a cost-saving mea-
sure for clients, and our contractor in Watertown tells us
that a professionally glazed tub should last at least 10
years. Assuming there isn’t structural failure evident in
the walls and floors around the tub, reglazing is a good
option, although to a certain extent it depends on the
quality and hardness of the water at your home. Unfortu-
nately, I do not know of a nontoxic alternative that is as
durable as the reglazing we use. Like anything these
days, there are trade-offs. The reglazing process releases
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air, which
we try to avoid when possible. The carbon footprint of a
bath remodel also takes a toll on the environment. Typi-
cally, a professional reglazer will ventilate the space,
which will allow reentry in 24 hours. The process will
take four to five hours from start to finish. The setup
time for reusing the tub or shower should be around 48

hours, depending on the humidity and other factors.
Dear Mark
A reader offered an interesting alternative for “Fred,”
who wrote Ask the Remodeler about cracking and sag-
ging ceilings in an unheated summer cottage (”Ask the
Remodeler: The walls are gone, and the ceilings are
cracking,” March 6). “Carl” suggested using Homasote,
which is made from 98 percent recycled paper. Homasote
would be a very cost-effective solution and could be used
in this application. It used to serve as building sheathing,
so it is actually a pretty resilient product that will stand
up to the seasonal movement of the unheated building.
You cannot finish the edges, so installing battens at the
seams would be an appropriate finish for a summer cot-
tage. You’ll need to leave a gap between the panels to al-
low for expansion and contraction. Most Homasotes have
a rough and a smooth side. I would leave the smooth side
showing so you can prime and paint it.
To toss in my two cents: From a design perspective,
you could also use PVC beadboard or V-groove panels.
You would install these in the same manner, with a gap
between the panels and a batten between all of the
seams. This would be a little costlier than the Homosote,
but you would get a more finished appearance.

A Western-style home with bars to wet any whistle

2 D U H A ME L WAY, B E L L I N G H A M

GLOBE STAFF

ust-haves for the next buyer of this Bellingham

home: Louis L’Amour, Larry McMurtry, and El-
more Leonard. Maybe some Alfred B. Guthrie.
Like the Westerns penned by these famous
authors, this Bellingham home offers surprises
inside. From the front of the house, this home looks like a sin-
gle-floor Craftsman, but inside, it reveals itself to be two floors
and a “Go West” vibe.
And like the Western expanse, it’s far from spartan: 4,166
square feet.
Located on a cul-de-sac and constructed and furnished by
Francis T. Sebio Jr. and his wife, Cindy, from Plum Tree Custom
Homes, this house comes with a wide driveway that leads up to
a two-car garage and then around to the left to a one-car setup.
Hunks of granite form a walkway that transitions to create a col-
umned, covered porch and then an accent wall that flanks a
dark wood front door with sidelights and a transom window.
Inside, the 19-foot-long foyer gives off a Western vibe, with a
coffered ceiling of pine planks, ceramic tile flooring that mimics
an earthen floor, and a wagon wheel light fixture. A door on the CLOCKWISE FROM TOP The home sits on just
right opens to a 133-square-foot office/bedroom with its own over a half acre; the half bath boasts a sink
fashioned out of a Jim Beam barrel; the
family room offers a wet bar, so you can
grab a drink and enjoy it on the patio; the
$1,150,000 kitchen offers hickory cabinets of varying

wagon wheel light fixture, and stairs descend to the finished
lower level.
A wide entrance with natural wood trim leads into the 387-
square-foot kitchen, where rustic touches abound. It’s an eyeball
pleaser with very distinctive design choices, including the wood
used for the cabinets: hickory with a wavy grain and a mix of
light and dark pieces.
The counters are granite, and the backsplash is brick. The
high-end appliances include a gas stove and have a black finish,
while the flooring is plank ceramic tile with the appearance of
wood. The expansive island is topped with granite, contains a
sink and a beverage refrigerator, and offers seating for four
aimed at a television and a gas fireplace embedded in a wall clad
in granite. The towering ceiling is covered in pine planks, and
light pours in from a dormer skylight. The kitchen has a double-
door pantry and shares an open layout with the dining and liv-
ing areas.
A light fixture fashioned out of a railroad track beam hangs
from a cove ceiling in the dining room. A slider connects to a
wide deck that provides shade for a stamped-concrete patio.
A half wall of granite supported by rough-hewn columns
marks the entrance to the 488-square foot living room, where
there is a vaulted ceiling and more of that ceramic tile flooring
that mimics wood. All eyes are drawn to the wood-burning fire-
place, which is covered in granite and flanked by pine plank
walls. Grab a drink at the wet bar, which features wired-glass
doors, a granite counter, and a beverage refrigerator. Five win-
dows pull in natural light.
The half bath off the living area, found behind a sliding barn
door, exhibits the same attention to detail: The sink is a recycled
Jim Beam barrel.
The laundry room is also behind a sliding barn door, and op-
posite that is the door to the garage.
Just past the laundry room is the entry to the primary suite.
The bedroom is 295 square feet, with a pine plank tray ceiling, a
fireplace clad in granite, three windows, and side-by-side walk-
in closets with sliding barn doors.
The primary bath is full of rustic touches, too. The granite-
topped double vanity has rectangular vessel sinks fashioned out
of granite. The cabinets echo the ones in the kitchen, and the
flooring is ceramic tile that mimics wood. The shower sits be-
hind a glass door and features a ceramic tile surround that looks
like brick.
The lower level offers two bedrooms, a full bath, and a family
room with direct access to the backyard and the one-car garage.
The bedrooms range from 167 to 185 square feet. Each one has
a double-door closet and a window. They share a full bath that
offers a double vanity with vessel sinks, ceramic tile flooring, a
water closet, and a tub/shower combination behind a glass door.
The 828-square-foot family room comes with a long wet bar
with hickory cabinetry and a granite counter — a perfect spot to
grab a drink and settle down with a paperback Western.
The backyard of the 0.53-acre property includes a fenced-in
dog run and a hot tub under a curtained pergola.
Robin Spangenberg of Redfin in Canton is the listing agent.
As of press time, an offer had been accepted on the property.

Push to separate fees paid agents by sellers and buyers

uCOMMISSIONS
Continued from Page H1
that buyers will eventually be able to negotiate
buyer agent commissions that are currently fixed
through industry collusion,” said the federation’s
senior fellow Stephen Brobeck. “It is also likely
that there will be greater variation of agent com-
pensation depending on factors such as agent ex-
perience and time spent on the sale.”
The NAR settlement was reached at a rocky
time for the real estate agent trade organization.
Last year, CEO Bob Goldberg and president Kenny
Parcell stepped down over allegations of miscon-
duct. In January, president Tracey Kasper stepped
down over a blackmail threat.
“NAR exists to serve our members and Ameri-
can consumers, and while the settlement comes at
a significant cost, we believe the benefits it will
provide to our industry are worth that cost,” said
Kevin Sears, a Springfield realtor and organization
president.
It’s unclear how much each plaintiff in the case
will receive from the settlement, which requires a
judge’s approval.
Attorney Robert L. Bell Jr., partner/owner at
the Melrose law firm Bell & Izzi, said the settle-
ment will change the ways agents do their jobs,
but won’t have any noticeable effect on consumers.
“The Feds have ostensibly tipped the scales
against a seller’s freedom to market as [they]
please by outlawing seller offers of buyer agent
compensation in MLS listings,” he said, but sellers
can still pay the buyer’s agent commission if they
want to. “It won’t be mandatory, just common
sense. It will maximize the buyer pool and thus
create demand. The only real rule that applies is
supply and demand.
“The biggest takeaway is that buyer agents
must have contracts with clients which specify
buyer agent compensation,” Bell said. “That
should have been the common practice since buy-
er agency was mandated in Massachusetts decades
ago.
“The effect on the market will be nil,” he said.
“Well-trained agents will continue to prosper.
Those who aren’t well-trained may have a bumpy
road.”

B O S T O N S U N DAY G L O B E M A R C H 24 , 2 0 24

Nevertheless,
Trumpism persisted
B y D av i d S c h a r f e n b e r g

Two new books argue
that the former
president’s darkest
T
he most salient feature of Trumpism these days is not its shock value
but its staying power.
It’s been nearly a decade since its namesake first declared for
president.
And despite everything that’s followed — kids in cages, a bloody
putsch, a raft of criminal indictments — he’s still with us.
It’s that longevity that explains the despair settling on so many of
Donald Trump’s critics this campaign season.
How is it, they wonder, that a man who has broken so extravagantly with the coun-
try’s fundamental commitments to democracy and decency could remain at the center
of national life?

MAY I HAVE A WORD | BARBARA WALLRAFF

And they called it macaronic

I
’m away this week, so while my
inbox runneth over with your
coinages for last time’s chal-
lenge, how about we dip our toes
in the silly end of the pool of macaronic
literature?
The word macaronic, for reasons
that aren’t that interesting, has nothing
to do with macaroni as we know it to-
day — though, oddly, it does describe
the song that sparked a craze for the
dance the macarena. The song “Ma-
carena” is partly in English and partly
in Spanish, and macaronic means “em-
ploying a mixture of languages.”
My introduction to this unusual sort
of literature came indirectly, by way of a
college roommate who had learned by
heart the full text of a story called
“Ladle Rat Rotten Hut” and recited
snippets of it every chance she got.
I didn’t know it at the time, but the
language the story is written in is
named Anguish, and Howard L. Chace
invented it in the 1950s entirely out of
English words.
He did so by ignoring everything
about them except their sound. He ex-
plained: “An unbelievable number of
English words, regardless of their usual
meanings, can be substituted quite sat-
isfactorily for others.
“When all the words in a given pas-
sage of English have been so replaced,
the passage keeps its original meaning,
but all the words have acquired new
ones. A word that has received a new
meaning has become a wart, and when
Udo J. Keppler’s 1913 illustration of “Humpty Dumpty.”
all the words in the passage have be-
come warts, the passage is no longer
English; it’s Anguish.”
Got that? Thus “Ladle Rat Rotten
Hut” is a translation, as it were, of “Lit-
tle Red Riding Hood.” The tale begins
“Wants pawn term dare worsted ladle
gull hoe lift wetter murder inner ladle
cordage honor itch offer lodge, dock,
florist.”
“Ladle Rat Rotten Hut” is the first of
about two dozen “furry tells” (fairy
tales) and “noisier rams” (nursery
WIKIMEDIA COMMONS
rhymes) — including “Guilty Looks En-
ter Tree Beers” (“Goldilocks and the
Three Bears”) and “Marry Hatter Ladle
Limb” (“Mary Had a Little Lamb”) —
anthologized in Chace’s 1956 book “An-
guish Language.”
Now that we’re acquainted with An-
guish writing, let’s get to know its more
cosmopolitan cousin: silly macaronic
literature. Instead of mangling English
to retell a familiar tale or poem or say-
ing, this variety mangles some other
language to the same effect.
Take this lovely line from John
Keats’s epic poem “Endymion”: “A thing
of beauty is a joy forever.” The French
polymath François Le Lionnais took it
and reflagged it as “Un singe de beauté
est un jouet pour l’hiver.” Pronounce
that in a French-ish way or get someone
who knows French to read it aloud —
and voilà! you’ve got Keats’s line with a
silly French accent. In actual French,
the sentence means “A monkey of beau-
ty is a toy for the winter,” but that’s be-
side the point. As long as it means
something in the originating language,
as opposed to being total gibberish, it’s
good to go.
There are whole books of this stuff,
the best known of which is “Mots
D’Heures: Gousses, Rames.” (Say that
aloud with a French accent — “modeur
goose rams.” Its literal meaning is
“Words of Hours: Pods, Paddles.”) The
guy who “discovered, edited, and anno-
tated” this manuscript was Luis d’Antin
van Rooten, whose very name is a sort
of macaronism, Luis being a common
Spanish forename, d’Antin being typi-
cally French, and van Rooten being typ-
ically Dutch.
Van Rooten added footnotes to his
verses to explain away the weirdness of
the wording in French. For instance,
the opening line of the poem with
which the book opens, “Un petit d’un
petit” (a child of a child), is said to be
“the inevitable result of a child mar-
riage.” As for the pronunciation, it’s,
roughly, “ump-tee dump-tee.” Wait — Is
that “Humpty Dumpty”? How silly!
“N’Heures Souris Rames” (are you
catching on?), by Ormonde de Kay, fol-
lowed, and “Mörder Guss Reims,” writ-
ten by John Hulme in mangled Ger-
man, followed that. Hulme, too, had his
way with “Humpty Dumpty,” and his
version begins like this: “Um die
Dumm’ die Saturn Aval.”
I’ve been emphasizing that this ma-
terial is silly for two reasons. One, be-
cause it is, and two, because serious
writers like Lord Byron, James Joyce,
and Ezra Pound have also employed
macaronisms — which are, as you now
know, mixtures of languages — in seri-
ous works. But a discussion of that kind
of macaronic literature will have to wait
for a future column and someone else
to write it.
Now, the challenge last time was to
come up with a word meaning the op-
posite of déjà vu — “a word that would
describe the feeling of learning some-
thing a hundred times but never being
able to remember it.” And if you missed
the deadline to submit, please enjoy ex-
tra time — until noon on Friday, March
29 — to send your coinages to me at
Barbara.Wallraff@globe.com, and
kindly tell me where you live.
Responses may be edited.
And please keep in mind that I am
always looking for meanings in search
of words.

who have nowhere to call home. But the
acronym unofficially means more than
being unhoused. It carries the negative
connotation of someone who might be
combative, disagreeable, infested with
lice or bed bugs, or incoherent.
The other week, I was asked to see a
patient who routinely took shelter in one
of Toronto’s many parks. The nurses and
doctors at our hospital knew him well.
He would come to the emergency room
every now and again with the ailments
we often see in people without easy ac-
cess to food and water, clean clothes, or a
bed: malnourishment, hacking coughs
from pneumonia, infected skin sores. But
it had been a few months since we had
seen him.
It was after a particularly stormy
night, and someone had found him lying
on one of the main paths in a city park.
The paramedics wheeled him into the
emergency room on a stretcher, and the
staff recorded his vitals, ordered an initial
volley of tests, and admitted him. Then
they called me.
When I approached him, he was lying
on his side, his knees folded so tightly in-
to his chest he was no larger than the pile
of blankets that lay on top of him. Scan-
ning him for any sign of injury, I noticed
he was favoring his right shoulder. Had
he sprained it? Was something broken? I
wondered.
I shifted his gown and gasped. The
skin over his back had been scraped off

almost to the bone, exposing pink and
gleaming tissue: the muscles of his scapu-
la. He had been sleeping on hard pave-
ment. Night after night, the pressure had
literally worn him down.
Patients who are homeless visit hospi-
tals frequently. Research conducted last
year at the National Health Service in the
United Kingdom counted a visit by some-
one who was homeless almost every sev-
en minutes. Sometimes those patients
flare into loud or even violent outbursts.
But most of the time, they don’t.
In the United States, government fig-
ures estimate that approximately 653,100
people were homeless on any single night
last year — the highest estimate since the
US Department of Housing and Urban
Development began tracking that num-
ber in 2007.
Canada is no exception, and in Toron-
to we are seeing more and more homeless
patients in our emergency rooms, espe-
cially during winter. Too often, in our ef-
fort to treat what is acute — sepsis, dehy-
dration, potentially life-threatening alco-
hol or drug withdrawal — we fail to
recognize what caused the patient’s
homelessness in the first place: the layoff,
the injury, the fallout, the escape, or the
eviction that began the unraveling of a
life. We fix what we know how to fix.
By treating our most vulnerable pa-
tients independent of their circumstanc-
es, we project our own biases onto them.
In flows prejudice, which has a way of
creating a false narrative that is difficult
to dislodge and which makes it easier for
us to hurry these patients out the door.
In my patient’s case, I could have easi-
ly overlooked a small note buried in his
chart that provided an important clue to
his current struggles: He’d lost the house
he had shared with his sister, who had
been moved into a long-term care facility
after a dementia diagnosis. I suspected
that my patient, who was forgetful and
recalled little about his sister, might have
inherited the same condition. Had I not
found that note in his chart, I might not
have thought to refer him to a neurologist
for an assessment. A genetic test later
confirmed the diagnosis.
The health needs of the unhoused
cannot be fixed with a pill. They need a
more comprehensive type of healing. For
doctors, whose emotional stores are still
drained from the maelstrom of the last
few pandemic years, this means opening
our hearts and minds to our patients’ ex-
better adhering to their treatments. It
may even lower their mortality risk. Pa-
tients with type 2 diabetes, for example,
who are treated by empathetic providers
have a lower risk of heart attacks and oth-
er cardiovascular events, improving their
chances of living longer and better de-
spite their disease.
Some in the health care field are al-
ready trying to meet unsheltered people
where they are. Last fall, the US Centers
for Medicaid and Medicare began allow-
ing insurers to reimburse health care pro-
viders for medical services given outside
a clinical setting — a form of care known
as “street medicine.” In Toronto, where I
live and work, a new initiative allows cli-
nicians to “prescribe” housing to unshel-
tered, ill patients — government funding
pays the rent for apartments built by a
partnership between a major health net-
work and the city.
Such interventions may help mitigate
the harms of the infections, cancers,
heart disease, substance use disorders,
brain injuries, and other conditions that
disproportionately affect those without
stable housing. And they are premised on
what should be every doctor’s highest
ideal: understanding.
We can’t eradicate all of the indigni-
ties and perils that our patients with no
fixed address face, but we can see to it
that they are not dismissed.

Two Iranian women, two very different

views on how the West should deal with Iran

JOHANNES SIMON/GETTY; VAHID SALEMI/AP

Left, Iranian civil rights activist Masih Alinejad last month at the Munich Security Conference. Right, imprisoned
Iranian human rights activist and Nobel Peace laureate Narges Mohammadi in Tehran in August 2007.

D
our mullahs have for decades forced Ira-
nians into lives appallingly different from
all that their long history and dazzling
culture should have produced.
Iran should be among the world’s
most vibrant countries. Instead it is poor, isolated, and
ruled by clerics who want to take society back to the sev-
enth century.
Many Iranians wish for a completely different re-
gime. Women don’t want to be forced to live under
shrouds, young people want to speak freely, and all want
to escape fears of prison and the executioner. What can
the outside world do? That depends on whom you ask.
Two totally opposite strategies have emerged from the
ranks of unhappy Iranians.
Activists inside the country beg the rest of the world
not to keep pushing the mullahs into corners where they
feel threatened and pressed to lash out, but rather to en-
gage with the regime. Many of these activists have lost
hope that their government will evolve toward democra-
cy on its own. They hope to strengthen civil society in
ways that will slowly weaken the foundations of reli-
gious rule and force change from within. They argue
that sanctions, isolation, and military threats weaken
their cause and empower the authoritarian regime.
History suggests that this approach might bear re-
sults, but some activists outside Iran consider it non-
sense. Rather than ease sanctions, they want to intensify
them. They call on the world to isolate the regime totally
and choke what remains of its economy.
Two impassioned women personify these dueling re-
sponses to Iran’s appalling human rights record. One,
Masih Alinejad, travels the world demanding that na-
tions tighten sanctions on Iran and slam all doors in the
regime’s face. The other, Narges Mohammadi, winner of
the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize, calls for a lifting of sanctions
and a return to diplomacy — from her cell in an Iranian
prison. They agree that their country’s ruling system is
intolerably repressive; they profoundly disagree about
how the world should respond.
Over the last few years, Alinejad has emerged as the
face of anti-Iran activism around the world. She fled her
By Stephen Kinzer
homeland a decade ago, pursued by the authorities for
her outspoken journalism. In Washington, she endorsed
the Trump administration’s “maximum pressure” policy
toward Iran, which included stronger sanctions and an
end to diplomacy — including the US withdrawal from
the 2015 nuclear deal. The architect of that policy, then-
secretary of state Mike Pompeo, welcomed her to the
State Department and praised her “bravery and contin-
ued dedication.”
Alinejad, who affects a wild hairstyle to symbolize
her rejection of Iran’s mandatory-hijab law, supports
heavy economic sanctions on Iran in the hope that they
will lead the regime to collapse. She wants all countries
to end cooperation with Iran, refuse negotiations, and
cut diplomatic ties. Some of her supporters seek restora-
tion of the Pahlavi dynasty that ruled Iran until 1979. In
testimony before a House of Representatives subcom-
mittee last year, she asserted that current US sanctions
on Iran, which are among the tightest ever imposed on
any country, are only “token measures” and should be
replaced by a “more aggressive” approach.
Inside Iran, opponents of the theocratic regime urge
precisely the opposite. They call on Western powers to
ease sanctions that impoverish Iranians and to negotiate
with Iran’s government, especially on human rights is-
sues. These activists, like the millions of Iranians they
represent, face the reality of daily life inside the country.
They see that the Islamic Republic cannot be as easily
toppled as the Pahlavi monarchy was in 1979 and that
therefore the only realistic option is to strengthen civil
society so it can promote reform.
Mohammadi, the Nobel laureate, argues that sanc-
tioning and isolating Iran has made that reform more
difficult.
“Economic sanctions, because they weren’t targeted
or based on adequate knowledge of the state, weakened
Iranians economically more than they weakened the Ira-
nian regime,” she told The Washington Post in 2022. “In
fact, they strengthened the Iranian regime and hardline
individuals and groups in the country, including the Is-
lamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This did not benefit
democracy in Iran. . . . The West shouldn’t have policies
that strengthen the repressive policies of the regime and
weaken civil society.”
To engage or not to engage: That is the diplomatic
question. Today it shapes debate over American policy
not only toward Iran but toward Russia, China, Syria,
North Korea, and other real or perceived enemies. Do
we isolate and seek to crush them or deal with them as
they are and hope that diplomacy and commerce will
slowly lead their leaders toward greater tolerance?
In societies ruled by repressive governments, like
Iran, the most positive influence outside powers can
have is to help build a middle class. A stable and ambi-
tious middle class usually begins to press for political as
well as economic freedom. Promoting a middle class was
a main goal of the Marshall Plan, which helped stabilize
Europe after World War II. More recently, middle classes
contributed decisively to democratization of East Asian
societies like South Korea, Taiwan, and Indonesia. The
policy of promoting change this way, however, works
slowly. Americans are often impatient and seek quick
answers to geopolitical problems. This leads us to sup-
port sanctions and other coercive measures to punish
countries whose leaders we dislike — even though in the
case of Iran, 40 years of sanctions has produced no posi-
tive result.
“Sanctions have not changed Iran; instead, they have
weakened the constituency within Iran that favored
building ties with the West,” according to “How Sanc-
tions Work,” a new study by four Iranian-American
scholars. “Maximum pressure failed to achieve its policy
goal.”
Should we double down on that policy or reverse
course and take a more conciliatory approach to Iran?
Two dynamic Iranian women have radically different
answers.

Washington is holding up a future of inexpensive EVs

B
ack in the early 1980s, when
the US government forced
Japan to limit car exports to
the United States, the goal
was to protect Detroit.
American car companies said the re-
straints would give them time to cut
costs and improve their vehicles’ quali-
ty and fuel economy. If the Japanese
wanted to sell more vehicles than the
limits allowed, they would have to build
factories here. Those factories, the De-
troit automakers assumed, would ulti-
mately be organized by the United Auto
Workers union, whose contracts stipu-
lated hundreds of pages of work rules.
We all know how that turned out.
Japanese companies, as well as Korean
and German automakers, built a flock
of nonunion plants, mainly in the
South. Thousands of people applied for
jobs, the factories fueled local econo-
mies, and the protectionist solution
backfired. Unable to stave off the on-
slaught, Detroit lost market share and
closed factories.
“It was more of a political tactic than
anything else,” says Jeffrey Garten, dean
emeritus of the Yale School of Manage-
ment and undersecretary of commerce
for international trade during the Clin-
ton administration.
Now, in a repeat of the politics that
enveloped the 1980s, the Biden admin-
istration is fighting the Chinese auto-
makers that make inexpensive electric
vehicles.
There are no Chinese-built cars
available in the United States yet, even
though Chinese companies have been
displaying vehicles at American auto
shows for years. The main reason is a
27.5 percent tariff on imports of Chi-
nese-built cars, levied by the Trump ad-
ministration and still in force. Last
month, President Biden announced an
investigation into whether Chinese ve-
hicles are security threats.
Many pundits say that was done to
pick up crucial votes in my home state
of Michigan, but it isn’t clear whether
American consumers really believe that
goods from China pose such perils.
Similar allegations are being levied
against TikTok in Congress, and yet
Americans have helped make it a social
media behemoth.
As I’ve said before, I doubt Detroit’s
heart is truly in the transition to electric
vehicles: The companies are already
backing away from their bold procla-
mations of an EV future. So why not
give consumers more choices, in the
form of Chinese electric vehicles?
The United Auto Workers would
instantly cry “No!”
The union has put on a full-court
press to organize the workers at the
international carmakers and Tesla.
Union president Shawn Fain regularly
rails against “all the Chinese companies
that want to enter our market.”
But while Detroit is still talking
about a transition from gasoline en-
gines to EVs, Chinese manufacturers
are far ahead of American companies in
bringing a wide range of EVs to the
market. Since 2010, some 300 compa-
nies have rolled out EVs of all shapes
and sizes, from minicars to full-on luxu-
ry vehicles.
While competition has winnowed

Switzerland last month.
their ranks to about 100 brands,
“there’s a lot of very intriguing, quite
frankly fascinating, new technology,
features, and design that we’ve never
seen before here in the United States,”
says Robby DeGraff, product and con-
sumer insights analyst at AutoPacific.
“Some of it is really, really cool.”
For instance, the BYD Han, a mid-
sized family car, can accelerate from ze-
ro to 60 mph in a zippy 3.9 seconds.
Wuling has sold more than 1 million of
its Hongguang Mini EV, which goes for
just $4,730 with a battery. You also can
buy one without a battery and get a
subscription that lets you swap in your
choice of charge, depending on how
you will use it.
BYD, or Build Your Dream, is the
CYRIL ZINGARO/AP
clear Chinese EV leader, challenging
Tesla for global leadership, even accu-
mulating its own fleet of ships to send
its EVs around the world. BYD wants to
build a plant in Mexico, officially to
supply Latin American countries, a
move many experts suspect is the first
step toward selling in the United States,
although BYD denies it.
A big fear is that the Chinese car-
makers, facing sales pressure at home,
will dump their cheaper EVs in the US
market, where the overall average EV
costs about $55,000, or around 17 per-
cent more than the average gasoline-
powered car.
Price “remains one of the top rea-
sons” that consumers are rejecting EVs,
DeGraff says, along with worries about
But cheaper sticker prices alone
won’t be enough to recruit customers.
Just as imports have done in the past,
BYD, or any other Chinese company,
would have to prove to Americans that
it is trustworthy enough to earn their
business. That might be a long-range
prospect.
Toyota, which now ranks second in
US market share behind General Mo-
tors, needed a half century to climb to
that spot. It introduced its first imports
to America in 1957, only to pause when
it learned its cars did not have enough
power to accelerate on American high-
ways. It returned for good in 1959 but
took until 2003 to pass Chrysler and
Ford.
Given the lesson from the Japanese
automakers, the United States can al-
low Chinese entrants but keep close
watch on them.
If there are true concerns about se-
curity, the government can monitor
what goes under the hood of these cars.
You might not be able to block the
transmission of all data back to China
— after all, every company, domestic
and foreign, tracks buyers’ information
— but there could be penalties if cus-
tomers’ data is used for spying.
For years, American companies sim-
ply didn’t care about EV development,
while Chinese companies did. Detroit
should not be rewarded for its lack of
vision, nor should consumers be penal-
ized for it.

margins of evolving American society, not as dark
threads that occasionally surface, not as paranoic and
backward-looking responses to disruptive change, but as
central fields of political and cultural force.”
Hahn starts at the country’s mythic roots, suggesting
that John Winthrop, the Puritan father of the nation,
was no paragon of liberty.
He sailed to Salem on the Arabella with eight ser-
vants in tow. He put enslaved Natives and Africans to
work on his farm on the Mystic River. And he opened his
famous “city upon a hill” speech — that urtext of Ameri-
can exceptionalism — with an encomium to Old World
order. Almighty God, Win-
throp reminded his followers,
had decreed that “some must
be rich, some poore, some
high and eminent in power
and dignitie, some mean and
in submission.”
This was the ethos of the
Plymouth, Salem, and Massa-
chusetts Bay “plantations,” of-
ten remembered as the seed-
beds of American democracy
— communities bound not by
rights and representation,
Hahn writes, but by faith, def-
erence, exclusion, and coer-
cion.
Traditional, hierarchical
communities show up in “Il-
liberal America” again and
again — homogenous, suspi-
cious of outsiders, and willing
to resort to illiberal means to
defend themselves against en-
emies real and perceived.
That could mean slaugh-
tering Native Americans on
the frontier or lashing out at Steven Hahn argues that Donald
Catholic immigrants trickling Trump’s appeal isn’t something new but orthodoxy, Heilbrunn writes, was
into the city. a return to a tradition of illiberalism.
On Pope’s Day, a riotous
festival of anti-Catholicism, gangs from colonial Boston’s
North and South Ends brawled over the privilege of
burning the pope in effigy. A Protestant mob torched a
convent in nearby Charlestown in 1834. And in the de-
cades that followed, the nativist “Know Nothing” move-
ment grew its following with warnings of Catholic alle-
giance to “demon rum” and corrupt politicians.
Hahn’s achievement is connecting this sort of dimly
remembered revanchism to more infamous episodes —
Jim Crow, McCarthyism, South Boston’s violent revolt
against school integration — and revealing a larger and
more influential illiberalism than our popular history
has allowed.
It’s so powerful it can sweep up even the most en-
lightened reformers; Hahn devotes considerable atten-
tion to the Progressives’ early 20th century embrace of
eugenics.
And it’s so attractive it can draw broad swaths of the
bourgeois public. When Robert Welch, founder of the
far-right John Birch Society, went on speaking tours in
the 1960s, he drew “large audiences, most of them mid-
dle-aged and from the upper middle class,” two observ-
ers wrote at the time. “They are not unemployed mal-
contents or crackpots; they are patient and enthusiastic
men and women, willing to wait on a line, four abreast,
for an hour, to buy tickets to hear him.”
In this context, Trump’s big crowds — and bigger vote
totals — feel less like the stunning break from America’s
liberal tradition that many of his critics have conjured
and more like a continuation of its underestimated illib-
eral tradition.
But Hahn’s account, if often persuasive, can falter.
At times, it feels like he’s straining to find illiberal
narratives in periods of liberal ascendancy — especially
as his narrative draws closer to the present.
Yes, Bill Clinton accelerated mass incarceration. But
free-market evangelism — so central to America’s classic
liberal tradition — was the hallmark of his administra-
tion. NAFTA, deregulation, a high-tech ascendancy: Lib-
eralism won the 1990s. And by a considerable margin.
Indeed, one is struck, reading Hahn’s book, by just
how often liberalism has prevailed. Victory over the
S u n d a y G l o b e
Confederacy. Women’s suffrage. Civil rights.
Part of the reason Trump’s rise was so jarring was
that it marked a real break from generations of liberal
dominance.
Before Trump’s election, the illiberal right had never
come especially close to installing someone with author-
itarian aspirations in the White House.
Though it had certainly dreamed of doing so.

n June of 2015, Jacob Heilbrunn, the editor of Na-

received an op-ed submission from a young woman newspaper and spouted conspiracies about a Jewish plot
named Maria Butina.
A Russian exchange student at American University,

It seemed far-fetched, to say the
least. That conservative Republi-
cans would cozy up to Putin? No
way.”
The Trump campaign, though,
soon upended expectations.
The candidate was a vocal ad-
mirer of Putin’s tough-guy act. And
a substantial segment of the broad-
er right came to embrace the Rus-
sian president and figures like Hun-
gary’s Viktor Orbán as avatars of
Christian nationalism.
But what seemed like an un-
thinkable break from conservative
really nothing of the sort.
The right had been besotted

distant objects of their affection, the strongmen they
could never have at home.

rial Germany.
Bullheaded and vain, he ran
roughshod over German democ-
racy, proclaiming at the height
of his power that “there is only
one person who is master in this
empire, and I am not going to
tolerate any other.”
Wilhelm led a genocidal cam-
paign against the Herero people
of Namibia.
And when he was forced to
abdicate after his defeat in
World War I, he took no respon-

empire “governed by an oligarchy of its best men.”
After the war, fear of an encroaching Russian Bolshe-
vism took hold in America. That coincided with a grow-
ing backlash to immigration from Eastern and Central
Europe. And prominent figures on the right fused these
anxieties together — charging Jewish emigres with car-
rying a dangerous foreign radicalism to American
shores.
The industrialist Henry Ford published the “Proto-
cols of the Elders of Zion” in his Dearborn Independent
to overthrow the government.
The poet Ezra Pound moved to Fascist Italy, where he
railed against the “Jewspapers” in a series of antisemitic
and anti-American radio broadcasts that eventually got
him indicted for treason.
Media mogul William Randolph Hearst, known as
“Hitler’s Man in America,” commissioned pieces from
the Führer and Benito Mussolini for his publications.
And after World War II, as the depravities of the Fas-
cists came into full view, elements of the American right
turned to revisionism — a central preoccupation of its
decades-long love affair with totalitarians.
There were claims that President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt knew about the Pearl Harbor attack before it
happened and critiques of the Nuremberg war crimes
trials.
“Were the German gas chambers really a greater
crime against humanity,” the right-wing intellectual Fre-
da Utley asked, “than our attacks on such nonmilitary
objectives as Dresden?”
The Cold War that followed presented the country
with a moral quandary: Was it permissible to support a
strongman with a questionable human rights record in
the name of pushing back on Soviet authoritarianism?
The right, though, did not seem especially conflicted.
William F. Buckley’s National Review magazine pub-
lished fawning portraits of anti-Communist dictators
like Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic.
In his “Letter From Spain” in 1957, Buckley called
Francisco Franco “an authentic national hero” who
alone had the strength to “wrest Spain from the hands of
the visionaries, ideologues, Marxists, and nihilists that
were imposing upon her, in the thirties, a regime so gro-
tesque as to do violence to the Spanish soul, to deny,
even, Spain’s historical identity.”
Never mind Franco’s own soul-killing deployment of
rape, torture, and mass execution.
This sort of bankrupt realpolitik got some purchase

dor, a steely academic by the
name of Jeane Kirkpatrick, was
an enthusiastic defender of any
authoritarian regime that
aligned itself with the United

averred that “the nuns were not
just nuns. They were political ac-

Still, Kirkpatrick didn’t have
free rein. Figures like Secretary
of State George P. Shultz, who
loathed her, were powerful coun-
terweights. And Reagan himself,

parts of the world, remained a
sunny spokesman for political
liberty and free markets.

magine a working parents’ utopia. At the center
sit large-windowed, subsidized child care cen-
ters with health care facilities nearby. Free pub-
lic transit connects home and school and the of-
fice or factory. Stores sell inexpensive pre-
cooked meals so parents can spend quality time with
children in the evenings.
Depending on your politics, this may sound like so-
cialists’ Shangri-La or Libertarians’ hell. But it certainly
doesn’t sound like America.
Yet this was the scene in Vanport City, Ore., during
World War II, when tycoon Henry J. Kaiser accepted
millions from the federal government to help working
mothers become Rosie the Riveters at his shipyard. The
town was nicknamed Kaiserville. Congress had passed
the Lanham Act in 1940, securing public funds for some
3,000 child care centers around the country, allowing
women to go to work. In Kaiserville, developed in 1943,
7,000 children attended Kaiser Child Service Centers.
Of course, the Lanham Act wasn’t passed specifically
to support women. It was passed to support the war
effort, which is why the law — officially known as the
Defense Housing and Community Facilities and Services
Act of 1940 — was approved in both houses without
controversy. And it’s why, when the war ended, the act
terminated, and with it the experiment of supporting
working moms.
Some 80 years later, as around 73 percent of mothers
and 93 percent of fathers work outside the home, such
support is needed more than ever — this time to bolster
families and the economy, whether one parent stays
home with kids or not.
Liberals aren’t the only ones who think so. In fact,
financially investing in families — including universal
child care, high-enough wages that could allow one
parent to stay home, and more meaningful employment

ANXIOUS developmental tasks to do. They need to develop

Continued from Page K1
Since the 1990s, he says, in-person, physical
childhood play and interaction with friends, child-
hood independence, and unstructured time have
all been declining. Instead, he argues, children to-
day mostly mediate relationships and play
through a screen. The average teen spends five
hours a day on social media sites, not including
time spent on screens for school, work, or other
activities. The result? Teens now spend just 30 to
60 minutes a day in person with friends, down
from two hours a day on average before 2010.
A life lived online, Haidt argues, is just not the
same as a flesh-and-blood one. And it’s harming a
whole generation of kids.
This interview has been edited and condensed.
Your book examines the reasons why children
and teens have been experiencing high rates of
depression and anxiety. But you actually set out
to write a different book, right? What happened?
I got a contract to write a book called “Life Af-
ter Babel: Adapting to a World We May Never
Again Share,” and it’s about how social media
makes it difficult to have a shared reality, and
without shared reality, it’s very hard to have a sta-
ble democracy. My main work has been on poli-
tics, morality, and emotion, but I had this side
project that came out of “The Coddling of the
American Mind” looking at what’s going on with
Gen Z. And so I thought chapter one would be
showing how social media had scrambled teens’
social lives, and then the rest of the book would be
about what it had done to democracy. But once I
wrote the first chapter, I realized what is happen-
ing to kids is horrifying, and I can’t just say, “Oh,
look, the mental health of a generation is falling
off a cliff. Now let’s move on to democracy.”
How is youth mental health related to these
larger issues of democratic health and political
polarization?
One thing to keep in mind is that social media
has pushed politics and polarization down into
middle school. It’s pushed political activism down
into middle school. Middle school kids should not
be marinated in culture issues or threats to them-
selves, to society, and the world. They have major
their social skills. They need to develop basic com-
petencies. They should be insulated from the cra-
ziness of America’s adult political life. But they’re
not.
How is what you call the “Great Rewiring”
playing into all of this?
What I call the “Great Rewiring” of childhood
is basically the complete transformation of what
kids are doing with their days, how they’re inter-
acting with other kids, and of what [information]
they’re consuming.
There’s no single human childhood experience
around the world. But wherever you go, children
want to play with each other. Children need play
for their development. But one of the strangest
changes to childhood began to happen here in the
United States in the 1980s and 1990s. We began
cracking down on unsupervised play and child-
hood independence, and pulling kids indoors be-
cause we thought the outside was too dangerous.
Fewer people know their neighbors, and parenting
has become more intensive. That’s the backstory,
but it’s not the whole story.
Then the internet arrived. It didn’t really affect
millennials’ mental health that much: Access
wasn’t universal, there were no smartphones, and
internet speeds were slow.
And then a lot of things happened in rapid suc-
cession between 2010 and 2015. The smartphone
becomes ubiquitous, and what [kids] do with their
time changes radically in just a few years. Instead
of playing at each other’s houses in person, every-
thing is now going through the phone.
Let’s talk about TikTok. Congress is pushing
for the Chinese company ByteDance to divest
from TikTok, and a lot of people are afraid that
could mean a US ban on the platform altogether.
Setting aside the national security concerns of
the app’s Chinese ownership, what are your con-
cerns about TikTok’s mental health effects on
young people?
I’m in support of a ban from a national security
viewpoint. From a health perspective there are
many reasons to think TikTok is much worse than
any other platform, although I wouldn’t necessari-
ly support a ban for adults on social media. The
main one is that TikTok comes the closest to what
we psychologists call “behaviorist conditioning” of
any platform ever invented. Behaviorist condition-
ing was discovered by psychologists in the 1930s
and ’40s — they found that if you can give some-
one a small reward very quickly, you can make
them do all kinds of things. Think about watching
a dog or circus trainer at work. All social media
platforms give these tiny little doses of pleasure to
reinforce, reinforce, and reinforce again the be-
havior they want to see: tapping and swiping. But
TikTok does this more powerfully than any other
platform.
Young people themselves say it is the most ad-
dictive of all the platforms and a net negative con-
tribution to society. A University of Chicago study
found that individual students would actually pay
the researchers to get all of their peers to shut
down Instagram and TikTok. But they felt pres-
sure to keep their accounts going if everyone else
does. If they were the only ones deactivating their
accounts for a month, the students wanted to be
paid $50. It turns out most students were on these
platforms only because everyone else was. Stu-
dents told the researchers that the world would be
better if TikTok was never invented.
That is the most damning evidence I can imag-
ine against TikTok, and Instagram for that matter.
They are sucking up billions of hours a year of peo-
ple’s time and spreading mental illness.
But there are a number of people, both kids
and adults, who appear to be defending TikTok.
Many say the app has given them a space for
community and creativity.
First of all, social media is a very powerful tool
that adults can use to achieve their goals. Photog-
raphers use Instagram for all sorts of business rea-
sons. I would never suggest a ban on Instagram,
and I would be very reluctant to tell adults that
they cannot do what they want to do online. That
would also be a good argument for allowing adults
to get on TikTok as long as it wasn’t unduly influ-
enced by the Communist Party in China.
The whole argument in my book is that chil-
dren are different from adults. Children are
uniquely vulnerable neurologically as they go
through puberty — especially during early puberty.
Children need to be having real-world interac-
tions. And TikTok is the most powerful tool ever
found to keep them glued to a screen.
What you say in your book is that we need to
keep kids away from screens for as long as pos-
sible. Phone-free schools, no smartphones be-
fore high school, no social media accounts before
16. What is the single most important obstacle
to making those things happen?
The big obstacle is that these are all collective
action problems. When we contemplate any one of
these things as individuals, they seem hopelessly
difficult. If you’re the only parent that keeps your
kid off social media, it’s difficult.
But if we all do them at the same time, then it
becomes much easier. I actually do think that
childhood is going to change by the end of 2025.
Schools are already going phone-free. Norms are
going to change so that we can get middle school
kids just phones instead of smartphones. And I
think a consensus will emerge that social media is
really bad for children. I think we will see both le-
gal efforts and parental efforts to delay entry until
16. So I think those three norms are actually rela-
tively easy to implement.
The more difficult part will be giving kids far
more independence, free play, and responsibility.
That is also a collective action problem, because if
you’re the only one who is sending your kid out to
the store to get a quart of milk by themselves
when they are 8 years old, you could get arrested.
Parents really are afraid of what’s going to happen
to their children if they take their eyes off them.
We really have to change parental attitudes.
Which is hard. But to some extent, if you do re-
duce the role that screens play in kids’ lives, then
there might be more willingness to give kids more
independence.
If we’re reducing access to screens, we have to
give them a lot more access to each other. We have
to give them a lot more time together. And that’s
going to take a lot more work for parents and
schools. But let’s say, for example, if every elemen-
tary school would simply open their playgrounds
for an hour before school starts and for a couple of
hours after school — all you need is one adult who
is nearby, not supervising, but just in case there’s a
problem. It’s a physically safe place where kids can
do things that might even sometimes be emotion-
ally unsafe, like teasing each other. That would be
incredibly beneficial for their development. And
it’s a lot more fun than piano or language lessons.

When 2 in 5 people report
delaying health care because
of costs, something is wrong
D
espite Massachusetts’ reputa-
tion as a medical mecca, health
care here is becoming increas-
ingly unaffordable. And while
the state has taken important
steps to rein in increases to the overall cost of
care, those savings haven’t always been passed
on to the consumer.
This makes it crucial for the Massachusetts
Health Policy Commission, together with the
Legislature, to establish an affordability
benchmark — a new measure that would high-
light how much consumers pay for health care,
which could be used to hold the health care
system accountable for keeping patient costs
down.
The state has long struggled to contain its
high health care costs, which are passed on to
consumers through health insurance premi-
ums and copays. According to the Center for
Health Information and Analysis’ 2024 annual
report, 41 percent of Massachusetts residents
polled in a 2021 survey had trouble affording
health care during the prior 12 months, in-
cluding more than 50 percent of Black and
Hispanic respondents. Nearly one-third of res-
idents reported going without needed health
care because of cost. A poll conducted in Feb-
ruary and March 2024 for Blue Cross Blue
Shield of Massachusetts found that 40 percent
of respondents reported delaying care because
of cost.
Struggles paying for care are unsurprising
given the high cost of insurance. The average
commercial health plan cost $595 per member

per month in 2022, or $7,140 annually, an in-
crease of 5.8 percent from the prior year, ac-
cording to the CHIA report. The average per-
son with commercial insurance paid another
$730 a year in cost-sharing. Because plans are
so expensive, more small businesses are offer-
ing high-deductible health plans, and 1.7 mil-
lion Massachusetts residents were enrolled in
health plans with deductibles of at least
$1,400. Having a high deductible can dissuade
people from seeking care since they know they
will have to pay out of pocket until the deduct-
ible is met.
Between 2020 and 2022, both premiums
and cost sharing grew faster than wages or in-
flation. And these numbers do not include the
cost for care obtained outside the insurance
system — for example, many mental health cli-
nicians require payment out of pocket.
Massachusetts was the first state to estab-
lish a health care cost growth benchmark. The
Health Policy Commission, working with the
Legislature, sets a target each year for health
care cost growth. Providers and insurers have
to publicly testify at an annual hearing on how
they are keeping costs in line. The commission
has authority to require any provider that does
not adhere to the benchmark to adopt a per-
formance improvement plan. (Only one plan
has ever been negotiated, with Mass General
Brigham.)
That benchmark is important and should
be expanded. For instance, this editorial board
has supported requiring pharmaceutical com-
panies, pharmacy benefit managers, and drug

wholesalers to testify about cost drivers related
to prescription drugs. The provider review
process should be expanded to cover all hospi-
tals and specialty care providers, rather than
only those with affiliated primary care physi-
cians.
But a separate affordability benchmark is
also necessary because curbing health care
costs does not always mean limiting consumer
costs, due to the health care system’s complexi-
ty. For example, if a drug manufacturer lowers
a drug price through a rebate pocketed by a
pharmacy benefit manager, the patient still
pays the same amount.
“You can get savings sometimes at the sys-
tem level, and it doesn’t always translate to the
direct experience consumers are having,” said
Alex Sheff, senior director of policy and gov-
ernment relations for Health Care for All, a
health care consumer advocacy group.
That is why a new measure that would
monitor spending by patients with commer-
cial insurance — insurance bought through an
employer or the state exchange — would be a
valuable tool to better understand consumer
costs and hold the health care system account-
able for containing them. Ideally, this metric
could be parsed in a way that helps policy
makers understand whether certain popula-
tions have bigger cost burdens, like people
with disabilities or chronic conditions or peo-
ple of different races, ethnicities, ages, or in-
come levels.
To be effective, the affordability benchmark
must be paired with accountability. The chal-
JESSICA RINALDI/GLOBE STAFF
lenge will be developing a fair way to hold the
entire system accountable.
The easiest measure of affordability relates
to how much consumers are paying for insur-
ance. But insurer profits are already regulated,
and the amount insurers charge reflects the
prices doctors and drugmakers charge.
David Seltz, executive director of the Health
Policy Commission, said the commission is
still in the early stages of developing an afford-
ability benchmark, but it is considering differ-
ent accountability methods, such as including
affordability as another factor in the current
system of health care cost reviews and perfor-
mance improvement plans; having the Divi-
sion of Insurance consider affordability in ap-
proving insurance rates; and developing a new
system. While the commission can develop the
affordability metric on its own, any account-
ability measure needs legislative approval.
Lawmakers should ensure that there is a sys-
tem with teeth in place to keep consumer costs
down, and that it is done in a way that in-
cludes providers, insurers, and the pharma-
ceutical industry.
While no state has done exactly what
Massachusetts is considering, other states
have addressed health care affordability with-
in broader efforts to contain costs, including
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, and Cal-
ifornia.
The best way to keep people healthy is to
ensure everyone can get the care they need
when they need it, without worrying about
whether they can afford it.

State’s first climate chief
is on a mission.
Reinforcements are needed.
Re “Can one official move the needle on our state’s carbon emis-
sions?” by Benjamin Rachlin (Ideas, March 17): I think the an-
swer is: Yes, but not enough. That’s not because Governor Mau-
ra Healey’s idea to hire a Cabinet-level climate chief and Melissa
Hoffer’s embodiment of that position have not had a dramatic
impact on our state’s responsiveness already. We should all be
thankful for this innovative “whole-of-government approach”
and required accountability for meeting benchmarks in order to
keep our planet habitable. But is it sufficient? Hoffer herself
takes it a step further and invites us all to participate. On this,
Rachlin reflects, “Maybe the whole of government includes us.”
Transitioning to a sustainable future affects every aspect of our
lives and calls for all of us to jump in. Our state officials have cre-
ated a great foundation but we’re all needed in this huge task.

Thank you for Benjamin Rachlin’s profile of climate chief Melis-
sa Hoffer. Her prominence and assertiveness are critical and en-
couraging. Her top-down, whole-of-government approach is
powerful, but it will need to be complemented by all the various
fiefdoms in state government taking responsibility and moving
forward. I hope she will hold them all accountable. Her presence
on the scene is a ray of light.

What if a homicide case could make
Big Oil be part of the solution?
The idea of charging fossil fuel companies with homicide is in-
triguing (“It’s time to charge oil companies with homicide,”
Ideas, March 17). Aaron Regunberg and David Arkush begin by
quoting an attorney for a tobacco company who feared that the
industry could be held responsible for the deaths of its custom-
ers.
There is no doubt that Big Oil has caused irreparable harm to
people, the environment, the planet, and the climate. The com-
panies know their products are inherently dangerous. And that
harm has led to human deaths through the extreme weather
events that we’ve all become accustomed to. It’s a logical conclu-
sion to charge these companies with homicide.
In the Big Tobacco example, it may have been the threat of
criminal charges for homicide that led to the settlement of the
civil litigation against it. If bringing homicide charges against
Big Oil can be a similar incentive to push fossil fuel companies
to shift away from drilling and to transforming to clean energy
sources, then by all means, this tool should be used.
Our goal should be hastening the transition from our dirty,
polluting energy sources to an economy powered by renewable
and safe sources. Getting Big Oil to buy into this effort could
dramatically speed this process.

Argument against trolley as rapid transit
seems to make the opposite case
Opponents of the new zoning plan for Milton regularly cite the
argument that the Mattapan trolley isn’t “real” rapid transit.
Carine Hajjar’s March 17 Ideas piece (“Go easy on Milton. It isn’t
really a ‘rapid transit community.’ ”) has convinced this Hyde
Park resident that this argument is nothing more than a fig leaf
for NIMBYism.
Hajjar made the trip to downtown Boston on the Mattapan
Line to compare it with her preferred commute out of North
Quincy. What did she find? “The trolley is actually a shorter
drive away for me than the North Quincy stop and, if everything
goes smoothly, a tiny bit faster.” It’s hard to argue that you don’t
have rapid transit in your community when the transit in your
community is a faster route to work.
As for her point that few of the stops along the Mattapan
Line offer parking, plenty of rapid transit stops across the

Let’s see Trump-Biden debate,
but give the moderator control of the mic
Re “Trump says he’s ready to debate Biden. Don’t believe him.”
(Ideas, March 17): Renée Graham doubts that Donald Trump
will be willing to debate President Biden. I hope she is wrong. A
debate would go a long way toward showing who the two men
really are. However, such a debate needs to be on a level playing
field. In debates in previous elections, Trump hogged the air
time, talking past his time limits, interrupting, etc. This behav-
ior is not unique to Trump, but he is an extreme example.
To minimize this problem, moderators should be given com-
plete control of the debaters’ audio. We should only hear the
candidates when each has been granted permission to speak.
Hopefully this would bring more order to debates.

Americans
are unhappier
than ever
By Renée Graham

I
n a video clip that’s garnered more than 1 mil-
lion views on Instagram, Erin Jackson, a stand-
up comedian, offered her assessment of the
state of our union.
“Our country is like the hot girl in high
school who let herself go,” Jackson said. “But then she
shows up at the reunion and all the other countries are
standing around, like, ‘Yoooooooo, did y’all see America?
She going through it.”
Yes, she is.
For the first time since the World Happiness Report
released its inaugural findings in 2012, the United States
has dropped out of the top 20, landing at 23. That’s eight
spots lower than last year. Are you happier today than
you were four years ago? A decade ago? If you live in
America, the answer is probably no — especially for peo-
ple under the age of 30.
While a happiness report seems like fodder for late-
night comedians, there’s a very serious undercurrent
here. For the first time, this year’s report, compiled by
various organizations including the United Nations,
Columbia University, and Gallup, emphasizes a focus on
“the happiness of people at different stages of life.” The
report reveals an alarming divide between Baby Boom-
ers over 60 and those who’ve not yet turned 30 — Gen Z
and millennials born in the late 1990s.
Logic would seem to dictate that youth would be the
time when happiness is at its most bountiful. It should
be a period of energy and optimism. But in the 143
countries surveyed, Americans under 30 ranked 62nd,
pulling down the nation’s happiness rating. Boomers, by
contrast, came in 10th.
And what’s driving the downturn in overall happi-
ness among young Americans is what researchers call
“the inequality of well-being.”
“Inequality in the distribution of happiness reflects
inequalities of access to any of the direct and indirect
supports for well-being, including income, education,
health care, social acceptance, trust, and the presence of
supportive social environments at the family, communi-
ty, and national levels,” they wrote. “People are happier
living in countries where the equality of happiness is
greater.”
It concludes that “well-being and happiness are criti-
cal indicators of a nation’s economic and social develop-
ment, and should be a key aim of policy.” In other words,
people can’t bootstrap their way to happiness — which
should say all that one needs to know about why this
country finished out of the top 20. (For the seventh con-
secutive year, Finland claimed the top spot.)
Of course, especially for younger generations, social
media consumption has been shown to have a negative
impact on happiness and mental health. Having a device
always within reach that, with the tap of an app, will
feed its users a steady diet of beautiful homes, perfect
bodies, and glamorous lives can breed personal dissatis-
faction with one’s own status. Few can measure up to
that much rigorous editing and methodical curation.
But young people don’t necessarily want the houses
they flick by on social media. They want a home they can
afford, something that with today’s outrageous housing
prices is largely unattainable. They want lives unsaddled
with massive student loan debt. They want rights that
are protected instead of eroded. A generation raised on
mass shooting drills in their schools want to feel safe
when they go to a movie theater, a concert, or a super-
market. They want policies and laws that work for and
GLOBE STAFF/ADOBE
protect their lives.
A 2022 survey conducted by Making Caring Com-
mon, a Harvard Graduate School of Education project,
found that 45 percent of young people between the ages
of 18 and 25 reported a general “sense that things are
falling apart.”
A nation that fails its young people is dooming its
future.
But even exacerbated by the COVID years of fear, tur-
moil, sickness, and more than 1 million deaths — some-
thing this nation has been loath to fully process in its
rush to get back to “normal” — this decline in American
happiness isn’t sudden. Neither is the inequality that
continues to drag this nation down.
We are the only nation that codifies as an unalienable
right “the pursuit of happiness.” But as this report makes
clear, unless widespread inequality is eradicated, that
pursuit will remain a reality well beyond America’s grasp
for generations to come.

A
t a campaign rally in Dayton
last weekend, Donald Trump
said something that released
a tsunami of outrage and
scorn from Democrats and the left-
leaning media. During a Supreme
Court oral argument two days later,
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said
something that released a tsunami of
outrage and scorn from Republicans
and the right-leaning media.
In neither case was there anything
scurrilous or shocking about the re-
mark in question. What was reprehen-
sible was the way the remarks were
willfully misrepresented by ideological
partisans who didn’t scruple to distort
the truth in order to advance a political
narrative and discredit a political foe.
What Trump said was that “it’s go-
ing to be a bloodbath for the country” if
he doesn’t win the presidential election
in November. Seizing on the word
“bloodbath,” a liberal chorus instantly
raised an alarm.
“It’s clear this guy wants another
January 6,” President Biden posted on
X, as his campaign released an ad rais-
ing the specter of civil unrest. Politico
headlined its story “Trump says country
faces ‘bloodbath’ if Biden wins in No-
vember.” Similar headlines appeared
above stories on NBC, CBS, and The
Guardian. Senator Brian Schatz of Ha-
waii, a Democrat, advised the media to
pile on: “Headline writers: Don’t out-
smart yourself,” he urged on X. “Just do
‘Trump Promises Bloodbath if he
Doesn’t Win Election.’” Presidential his-
torian Michael Beschloss, a frequent TV
talking head, told MSNBC that Trump’s
comment was reminiscent of “fascism
and totalitarianism and in Germany’s
case the Holocaust.”
There was just one thing wrong with
this apocalyptic keening: Trump’s
“bloodbath” reference had nothing to
do with riots. It was a metaphor for the
disaster that, according to Trump,
awaits the auto industry and the US
economy if Biden’s policies continue.
nouncing free trade and anticipating
economic misery if he isn’t elected to
pursue harsh protectionist measures.
In context, Trump’s meaning was
unambiguous. “We’re going to put a
100 percent tariff on every single car
that comes across the line and you’re
not going to be able to sell those,”
Trump told his Dayton audience. “Now
if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a
bloodbath. . . . That’ll be the least of it.
But they’re not going to sell those cars.”
Trump’s syntax was klutzy, but the
audience understood him. In video of
the rally, the crowd can be seen ap-
plauding enthusiastically at his talk of
crippling tariffs; the “bloodbath” line
got no reaction at all. Even MAGA loy-
alists who revel in Trump’s red-meat
rhetoric knew he wasn’t saying any-
thing provocative at that moment.
Perhaps the worst thing about the
feeding frenzy over “bloodbath” is how
pointless it was. Trump routinely
makes comments that are genuinely
shocking and indecent. On multiple oc-
casions he has encouraged violence or
predicted ugly brawls if he doesn’t get
his way. His behavior on Jan. 6 was ap-

defend the Capitol rioters. So why whip
up a storm over something atrocious
that Trump didn’t say? All that accom-
plished was to reinforce the conviction
among Trumpians that the man they
idolize is a martyr.
Just as shameless was the right-wing
bashing of Justice Jackson that fol-
lowed Monday’s oral argument in Mur-
thy v. Missouri. The case deals with the
Biden administration’s pressure on so-
cial media platforms to suppress posts
containing what it deemed wrong or
harmful information. Was such pres-
sure an unlawful infringement of free
speech? Or was it permitted govern-
ment engagement with the tech firms?
During a colloquy with Louisiana
Solicitor General Benjamin Aguiñaga,
who argued that the Biden administra-
tion had crossed a constitutional line
when it pushed social media platforms
to remove certain content, Jackson
said: “My biggest concern is that your
view has the First Amendment ham-
stringing the government in significant
ways.”
Instantly, the conservative/Republi-
can spin machine blew up over the
a prominent conservative website. “The
Constitution, you see, limits the govern-
ment. But leftists want unlimited gov-
ernment — which is why they hate the
Constitution.”
Senator Mike Lee, a Utah Republi-
can, snorted: “The whole point of the
First Amendment — and of the Consti-
tution — is to ‘hamstring the govern-
ment in significant ways.’” Fox News
rounded up a cornucopia of condemna-
tions making the same point. Typical
was the statement issued by the State
Freedom Caucus Network, a well-
connected conservative group: “‘I’m
concerned that the Constitution is lim-
iting the power of the government’ is a
completely insane thing for somebody
to say who sits on the highest court in
the land.” In a TV interview, Represen-
tative Jim Jordan of Ohio, the Republi-
can chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee, went even further. He
called Jackson’s remark “literally one of
the craziest things I’ve ever seen” and
added: “That is frightening. Because if
she really believes that, that is scary
where we are heading.”
But like the left’s furor over Trump’s

ment efforts to influence speech. At one
point, Jackson posed an extreme hypo-
thetical designed to sharpen the issue
at stake.
Suppose young people were caught
up in a new social media challenge —
one “that involved teens jumping out of
windows at increasing elevations,” she
said. Imagine that kids all over the
country had started doing this and
were “injuring or even killing them-
selves.” In such an alarming scenario,
could the government put pressure on
the tech platforms to take down the
dangerous posts?
No, replied Aguiñaga. “The moment
that the government tries to . . . pres-
sure them to take it down, that is when
you’re interfering with [First Amend-
ment] speech rights.”
That — the absolutist position taken
by the lawyer arguing before the court
— was what led Jackson to wonder
whether the Constitution really man-
dates the “hamstringing” of the govern-
ment in such circumstances. Her
qualms reflected not a leftist hunger for
unlimited government but a prudential
grappling with how to square protec-
tion of free speech with the obligation
of government officials to protect the
public from harm.
In short, Jackson was doing her job
— analyzing a challenging issue in or-
der to interpret and apply the words of
the Constitution. Her critics, by con-
trast, were engaging in ugly demagogu-
ery, twisting her meaning in order to
score some cheap soundbites and pour
a little more lighter fluid on our incen-
diary political discourse.
Jackson and Trump can handle
these eruptions of abuse and dishones-
ty. America’s democracy may be a dif-
ferent story. The nastiness of our civic
dialogue is more toxic than it has been
in a century. How much lower can it
sink before recovery is impossible?

Why are antiabortion

activists going after
sex education?
By Mary Ziegler

T
he fight for fetal personhood made headlines last month when the Ala-
bama Supreme Court held that embryos counted as persons under the
state’s wrongful death of a minor act. For a short time, the decision not
only led many providers in the state to pause IVF services but also shone
a spotlight on the antiabortion movement’s goal to bestow legal rights on
fetuses more broadly.
I’ve argued previously that the battle for fetal personhood is about much more than
abortion. Indeed, antiabortion activists are opening up a surprising new front: the fu-
ture of sex education. Several states are considering legislation that would require stu-
dents to learn about fetal development using an animation called “Meet Baby Olivia”
created by a prominent antiabortion group, Live Action, or else by showing a similar
presentation covering the stages of fetal development.
Live Action developed “Olivia” as a tool to convince Americans that life begins at
fertilization and to “defend [Olivia’s] constitutionally protected right to life.” The med-
ical community has widely criticized the animation for misleading claims, like stating
that the fetus named Olivia was “playing” at 11 weeks or that survival outside the
womb was possible at 20 weeks.
To the extent these proposals are successful, sex education won’t be about sex. It
will be about fetal development — and fetal rights.
Last year, Live Action presented the animation to multiple gatherings of state law-
makers, which appears to have resulted in an appetite among some for including it in
school curricula. But rather than defining the film as part of a religion or life sciences
curriculum, state lawmakers have proposed to reinvent their sex education classes.
North Dakota became the first state in the nation to pass a bill requiring schools to ei-
ther show films like “Olivia” or omit sex education programs altogether.
Administrative guidance issued to schools in North Dakota refers to the Live Ac-
tion film by name. Similar bills have also been introduced in West Virginia, Iowa, Ken-
tucky, and Missouri.

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
ate Prince, the award-win-
ning British choreographer,
teamed with multiple-
Grammy winning musician
Sting to create “Message in a Bottle.”
Featuring 28 songs written over five de-
cades and freshly recorded mostly by
the former Police frontman himself, the
nearly two-hour dance and music tour
de force charts the story of a war-torn
refugee family battling hardship, and
ultimately prevailing. Currently touring
North America, “Message in a Bottle”
opens in Boston on Tuesday at the Em-
erson Colonial Theatre. Prince, who
founded London-based hip hop dance
troupe ZooNation, spoke to the Globe
via Zoom from her home outside Lon-
don about how the show came to be.
Q. Sting’s “Desert Rose” from 1999 was
a catalytic song for “Message in a Bot-
tle.” What did you find compelling
about this song that provided the vision
of a family torn apart by brutal inva-
sion?
A. As soon as I heard the song “Desert
Rose,” I knew the story I was trying to
tell. It’s the opening song of the show, a
song of celebration, and praying for the
rains to come. I wanted to start the sto-
ry in a peaceful, recognizable environ-
ment. Wherever we are in the world, we
can all relate to family. We can all relate
to a village, friends, and community. I
wanted to first build the community
and build the family before the prob-
lems started to crack it. “Desert Rose”
just does its part. It’s got an amazing en-
ergy, rhythms, lovely texture, and vo-
cals.
Q. In addition to choreographing,
you’re a pianist. How does your musi-
cianship inform the way you ap-
proached Sting’s music?
A. We have an amazing process work-
ing with a music team. We were given
Sting’s original album recordings so
that we could isolate and listen to every
single instrument. I’m a conduit be-
tween music and dance because I do
both. I’ll break down instrumentation,
and I’ll say, I want this one to feel like a
really naked track. I just want a cello,
or what would it sound like if we took it
down to strings or pulled the brass up
so that we can make this more of a funk
track? The music team are the ones
who do the magic and work out how
that practically works. Having written
other musicals it helps me understand
that process and the language.

At Bandoleros
in Concord,
an American
dream worth
waiting for
Where to: Bandoleros in Concord.
Why: For Mexican food in a suburban shop-
ping plaza, with lines out the door in the
middle of the week, coupled with a uniquely
American success story.
The backstory: “Every day is a fiesta in Con-
cord,” says Bandoleros owner Elmer Me-
lendez. In 1999, he fled violence in El Salva-
dor to come to the United States with his
wife, Delmy Madana, and two young chil-
dren. He found a cooking job at Savory Lane
in Acton. Later, he became a cook at Serafi-
na’s in Concord. In 2007, he began opening
his own restaurants with his wife: Dario’s in
Fitchburg; Bandoleros in Devens.
His latest triumph is opening a second
Bandoleros in the very space where he got a
job all those years ago: This is the former Se-
rafina’s, where he was once a young cook.
“It’s an achievement for me, 20 years lat-
er. I started out working 100 hours a week.
Now, I own my own business. Life has come
full circle,” he says.
What to eat: I’ll get this out of the way first:
On our visit, Bandoleros was seriously un-
derstaffed. People really want to eat here,
and there aren’t enough servers or cooks to
accommodate them. Our chipper server,
Mason, was responsible for almost the entire
dining room, which is large and busy. An or-
der of chips never came. Our tamale appetiz-
er arrived after our meals were finished (we
took it to go). We waited a long time for al-
most everything, from drinks to dishes. But
Mason was so enthusiastic and so apologet-
ic. Thank you, Mason!
Plus, the food is really tasty, when it does
arrive. If you’re a queso fan (and, oh, I am),
the version here is creamy and zippy, movie-
theater-style with hot, salty chips ($10).
There’s also a purist queso fundido with
Oaxacan and Chihuahua cheeses and pobla-
no pepper strips ($13). Melendez recom-
mended the chicharrons, so we tried them

What to drink: There’s a full roster of marga-
ritas ($15). The classic one, which Mason as-
sured me is not made from a mix, is tart and
tasty; the spicy version is served lukewarm.
There are also Jarritos sodas, horchata, and
fresh fruit drinks. My husband, on antibiot-
ics and eschewing cocktails, was placated
with a refreshing hibiscus-flavored agua de
Jamaica.
The takeaway: “We’ve gotten amazing sup-
port from the community,” says Melendez.
This is clear by the throngs at the host stand.
Now, he just needs someone to staff it. Once
that happens, it’s easy to picture this becom-

never a great dancer. I always wanted
to be behind the scenes. I love figuring
it all out, piecing it together, the jigsaw
of how it works.

A. The first act just runs, it just flows.
The story builds up, builds up, and

youngest protagonist is the character
who doesn’t leave the stage at all.

With each number, I’m trying to bring a
new look and a new breath and a new
life and a new texture, but it all needs
to keep flowing because it’s a linear
journey. It just takes you forward.

Boston Comedy Festival honoring
a local legend (but please don’t call him that)

ony V hates the word “legend.”
Especially when it’s applied to
him. He thinks of it as an
empty sobriquet frequently at-
tached to someone whose career is over
or stagnating. After more than 40 years
in stand-up, Tony V is far from done.
He’s still writing new material at a stage
when some comics coast. He works con-
stantly, headlining his own shows while
occasionally taking an opening slot, as
he did for Bill Burr at Fenway Park in
2022. And where others might be jaded,
he still loves what he does.

ley, and Kevin Nealon, and an all-star

A Gershwin Prize jam for
a grateful Elton John
and Bernie Taupin
By Emily Yahr
WASHINGTON POST
While much of the world is fixated
on whatever is happening with the roy-
als in the United Kingdom right now,
two British legends came to Washing-
ton to receive one of America’s highest
cultural honors.
Elton John, 76, and Bernie Taupin,
73, were awarded the Library of Con-
gress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song
— a lifetime achievement award given
annually to an artist whose music has
left a lasting impact — during a nearly
three-hour tribute concert at DAR Con-
stitution Hall. The duo’s songwriting
launched John’s six-decade career and
spurred record sales of some 300 mil-
lion and counting. The men are the
third pair of writing partners to win the
prize since it was established in 2007.
(Burt Bacharach and Hal David re-
ceived the Gershwin Prize in 2012; Glo-
ria and Emilio Estefan received it in
2019.)
John and Taupin are also the second
and third Brits to receive the honor (af-
ter Paul McCartney in 2010), though in
their acceptance speeches, they gave
nearly all the credit to musical influenc-
es from the United States.
“When I grew up as a little boy in
suburban London, the only good music
that I heard was American. British mu-
sic sucked,” John said, name-checking
his inspirations such as Nat King Cole,
Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Little Rich-
ard, Ray Charles, and Elvis Presley,
whose “Heartbreak Hotel” made him
want to play rock ‘n’ roll. “Thank you,
America, for the music you’ve given us
all over the world. I’m so proud to be
British and to be here in America to re-
ceive this award because all my heroes
B o s t o n
“Behold the legend,” Tony says, sar-
castically, laughing. “This is what we all
look like. Yeah.”
He will gratefully accept his award,
but he refuses to see it as a career cap-
per. “There seems to be some sort of
hope of finality in this: ‘We’ve given you
an award, go away.’ I don’t see myself
going anywhere. I really still like what I
do. I can still write a good joke. I try to
update my act and keep it as relevant to
me as I can.”
The humble everyman persona isn’t
an act for the stage. Tony typically es-
chews the green room wherever he’s
playing for some peace and quiet, smok-
ing a cigar by the nearest dumpster.
He’d prefer a nicer room somewhere,
but there aren’t many places to smoke
indoors anymore. Anyway, he enjoys
the aesthetic. “I like the juxtaposition of
perceived success on some level, but
still smoking by a dumpster,” he says.
On paper, Tony V has the resumé of a
legitimate legend. He’s part of the group
of comics from the Ding Ho club who
helped kick off the Boston comedy
boom in the 1980s. Then there are his
industry credits — a “Seinfeld” appear-
ance, a Super Bowl commercial, late-
night stand-up appearances. Going
back to the ‘80s, he was the guy in the
gorilla suit in the American Tourister
luggage ads. There’s not a lot he hasn’t
were American.”
“Pretty much everything that I’ve
written emanates from this country,
whether it’s the heartland, whether it’s
the urban jungle. It’s all been a palette
for everything I’ve written,” said Taupin,
who noted that he has lived in the Unit-
ed States since 1970. “I have an Ameri-
can heart, an American soul. I have an
American family, I have an American
wife, I have American children. I am
America, believe me.”
“But he drives a Volvo,” John said
dryly.
John and Taupin, who specialize in
irresistible uptempo rock along with
ballads that still bring listeners to tears,
have perfected a system since they start-
ed working together in 1967: Taupin
writes lyrics and gives them to John,
who composes and creates the song on
his piano.
“Elton’s music and Bernie’s words
are so embedded in our collective song-
book it instantly takes you over,” Carla
Hayden, the librarian of Congress, told
the crowd. “First, you hear Elton in the
opening crescendo of the piano. Then
you hear Bernie’s writing in the opening
lyrics: ‘I remember when rock was
young.’ And before you know it, you’re
on your feet singing the famous chorus
of ‘Crocodile Rock.’
“And you know that feeling,” said
Hayden, who looked like she was ready
to start dancing. “I’m getting it now.”
The audience at Wednesday’s cere-
mony — which included members of
Congress, British Ambassador to the
United States Karen Pierce, and Su-
preme Court Justice Ketanji Brown
Jackson — was on its feet quite a bit;

throughout the event. Recent Gershwin
Prize winners Joni Mitchell and Garth
Brooks were featured performers, as
Brooks sang two ballads and Mitchell
brought down the house with “I’m Still
Standing” (she was given permission
from the duo to change some of the lyr-
ics for the occasion), accompanied by
Annie Lennox and Brandi Carlile.
Earlier in the night, Carlile sang
“Madman Across the Water” and said
that the songs of John and Taupin
changed her life when she first heard
them at age 11.
“Elton was wild and outrageously,
dangerously fabulous, and he sang the

“What I like to do if people ask me
advice is go, ‘Look, I’ll answer the ques-
tions for you that it took me 15 years to
stumble around and figure out for my-
self,’” he says. “And I think that’s all you
can do for people.”
“I don’t know that I’ve ever heard a
bad word spoken about Tony,” says Bos-
ton Comedy Festival founder Jim Mc-
Cue. “In all my experience, everyone
kind of looks up to him because his act
at 40 years is still changing. It’s still
evolving. That’s a rare breed right
there.”
As much as the festival is about hon-
oring local comedy, it’s also about draw-
ing comedians from around the country
— and beyond, as is the case with Zim-
babwe native Learnmore Jonasi, who
plays the all-star show Friday at Berklee
Performance Center. Jonasi won the fes-
tival’s stand-up competition in 2023.
“It was such an amazing experience.
It was also an assurance that, yeah, I
might have something in America, be-
cause coming from Zimbabwe to a total-
ly different country, it’s always a risk.
You don’t know if they’re going to un-
derstand your humor, you don’t know if
they’re gonna accept you. You just have
to go and do it.”
Jonasi established himself as a comic
in South Africa, after starting out in
2011 in Zimbabwe, where there wasn’t

most beautiful stories I had ever heard.
I’ll never stop thanking them for the
wonderful life their music allowed me
to dream into existence,” Carlile said.
Metallica kicked things off with a
rollicking rendition of “Funeral for a
Friend/Love Lies Bleeding,” while Billy
Porter (who also served as host) lit up
the audience with “The Bitch Is Back.”
Jacob Lusk of the band Gabriels deliv-
ered an electrifying “Bennie and the

tions of the night.

much of a stand-up scene. He played
shows in Africa and Europe, and won
the People’s Choice Award in Steve Har-
vey’s Standup Spotlight contest in 2019.
Jonasi moved to Pittsburgh in 2022
looking to get a foothold in America;
winning in Boston last year helped get
him into more clubs.
“It definitely opened things up for
me,” he says. “People started taking me
seriously in the industry itself.”
His comedy draws mostly from his
experiences as an immigrant and grow-
ing up in Zimbabwe. “I talk about how
t h i n g s a r e d i ff e r e n t f r o m w h a t I
thought,” he says. “Culture shocks. And
also I educate about where I come from.
Because most people have a perception
of where I come from, so I kind of paint
the picture.”
Jonasi will get another boost in visi-
bility when he appears in the upcoming
season of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,”
premiering May 28. “My dream is always
to be a global African comedian,” he says.
“And the US was always on my bucket
list, to move here and actually be part of
the industry. Everyone around the world
watches American comedy, and I want-
ed to be part of that event with my Afri-
can story and how I grew up.”

than $600 million; Carlile returned to
the stage to sing “Skyline Pigeon.” Char-
lie Puth took on “Don’t Let the Sun Go
Down on Me,” and Maren Morris belted
out a soaring version of “I Guess That’s
Why They Call It the Blues.” On the red
carpet before the event, Morris spoke
admiringly of John and Taupin’s work-
ing relationship.
“I feel like this is certainly the lon-
gest partnership in songwriting history.
It’s amazing that they’ve been able to
nurture it for many decades,” she said.
“But when you find a partner that you
have chemistry with lyrically, musically,
and can grow through the years with
one another — I mean, there is nothing
more special.”
During his speech at the end of the
show, John concurred. “Bernie and I
have been together for over 50-some-
thing years. We’re closer than we’ve ever
been, and I think that’s pretty remark-
able in this day and age for two people
in the business to be closer than they
were when they started. I’m thrilled to
be here with him. Because if it wasn’t
for him, I wouldn’t be here,” he said,
adding, “Being able to share success
with somebody is the greatest thing you
could ever have.”
“I love what he’s become, how happy
he is. I love what I’ve become and how
happy I am,” John continued. “We’ve
both been through hell, and we’ve come
through the other side, and it feels
good.”
John wrapped up the night behind a
red piano with “Mona Lisas and Mad
Hatters” and “Saturday Night’s Alright
for Fighting.” Hayden, the librarian of
Congress, asked him to play just one
more.
So John launched into “Your Song,”
and as Taupin leaned against the piano
right near him, John sang the lyrics that
his friend wrote: “I know it’s not much,
but it’s the best I can do/ My gift is my
song, and this one’s for you.”

horse, he reminded me of how new this
is. Just a dozen years ago, the video for
“Gangnam Style” was the first ever to
hit a billion views (yes, with a ‘b’) on
YouTube. By now, 5 billion views later,
the video feels deeply foundational, a
breakthrough “Birth of Venus” of the
Korean pop cultural renaissance from
which all else flows.
Such is the deluge of Korean popular
culture in recent years, where even a de-
cade ago can seem like ages. K-pop su-
pergroups like BTS and BlackPink play
to packed stadiums all over the world;
TV series like “Squid Game” and “Hell-
bound” set streaming records in the US
and beyond. “Hallyu!,” an import from
London’s Victoria and Albert Museum,
could have been no more than a blithe
romp through the universe of edgy cine-
ma and supremely packaged pop stars
that dominate South Korean youth cul-
ture (and have no small presence here,
either). And fear not — it’s a blast: The
exhibition is laid out like a wheel, with
spokes extending from a central hub
that reads like a grand high temple of K-
pop orthodoxy: Costumes worn by su-
pergroups and artists like G-Dragon
and ATEEZ populate a double-height
scaffold structure, while a great big
screen blares frantically choreographed
music videos on a perpetual loop.
But underneath its infectiously pop-
py sheen, the core strength of the exhi-
bition, and I think its very point, is that
it’s all much more than confection.
“Hallyu!” cares as much about social
and cultural history as it does the au
courant; it weaves deep, sometimes an-
cient context into the current blossom-
ing of the nation’s creative soul. It does
this with equal parts dazzle and a som-
ber national narrative that connects
South Korea’s rise to its triumph over
decades of oppression.
I suspect that an awful lot of viewers
— maybe too many — will glide right
past the underpinnings of South Korea’s
cultural flowering and go straight for
the sparkle. Like any exhibition, “Hal-
lyu!” is a take it or leave it experience,
but leaving out the how-we-got-here
narrative is also to elide the richness of
the current moment.
“Hallyu!” offers learning; I doubt I’m
alone as a North American with little
knowledge of the fall of the Josean dy-
nasty in 1897, which had ruled the Ko-
rean peninsula for five centuries, or the
short-lived, forward-thinking Korean
Empire that replaced it but was crushed
by Japanese occupation in 1910. Early
non-violent protests were quelled, and
viciously. The exhibition humanizes the
political brutality with the prisoner
identity card of Yu Gwan Sun, a 17-year-
old high school student and indepen-
dence activist who was tortured to
death by Japanese forces.
In 1945, Korea was liberated when
Japan surrendered to the Allies, ending
World War II, but the peninsula was
still controlled by outsiders. Russia and
B o s t o n
the United States agreed to sever it at
the 38th parallel, with Russia taking
control of the north and the US the
south. On June 25, 1950, North Kore-
ans marched on the south with the in-
tention of reuniting the country under
communist rule and touched off the Ko-
rean War, the first proxy battle of the
new Cold War era.
Korea lurched from one outside
force to another for decades. Some
crushed its very culture; others over-
whelmed it (American military bases all
over the south in the 1950s brought a
flood of American movies, music, and
products; a bright color photo shows
Marilyn Monroe entertaining US troops
in 1953). The war ended in 1953, leav-
ing North and South divided. In the en-
suing void, Major General Park Chung-
hee led a military coup to seize control
of the South. It was agrarian and deeply
impoverished, and reeling from decades
of occupation and war (Gangnam, the
“it” neighborhood on the south side of

Seoul now packed full with louche bou-
tiques and stylish cafes, was as recently
as the 1970s a rice paddy. A photograph

Gangnam with a stand of new apart-

mandated a program of rapid modern-
ization, empowering a small cadre of
companies to become industrial jugger-
nauts, or chaebols; those companies
seeded the South’s economic rebirth,
and are still pillars of its prosperity:
Samsung, LG, and Hyundai.
But Park’s economic policies were al-
so wound tightly to a nationalist cultur-
al agenda. Foreign culture like music
and movies was banned; at the height of
the rising hippie movement of youth-
cultural liberation, Park banned long
hair for men and short skirts for wom-
en. His government also mandated
what it believed to be traditional Kore-
an cultural values; historic sites and
practices were revered and protected.
All of this matters: In the South, suc-

cessive military dictatorships — Park
was assassinated in 1979 by the head of
his central intelligence agency, Kim Jae
Kyu, who replaced him — worked to
foster cultural isolation alongside an ac-
celerated modernization agenda. That
weird dichotomy created an insular so-
ciety deeply aware of its historical roots,
but with remarkable technological sav-
vy. When the last military junta fell in
1987, South Koreans emerged into the
world both with a deep sense of self and
poised to embrace the tidal wave of
technology to come. As early as the
1990s, it had pioneered widespread
broadband internet. When the Asian fi-
nancial crisis hit in 1997, it had legions
of wired early adopters breaking
ground in soon-to-be-explosive fields
like online gaming.
“Hallyu!” tells these stories in a
densely packed gallery of minutiae, like
historical photographs and odd arti-
facts (did you know LG started life as a
maker of face cream? There’s a jar of it
here, under glass). If I have a quibble,
it’s that the show can be a bit of a visual
jumble that at times feels like a national
pavilion at a world’s fair. But its narra-
tive is so densely fascinating that it
hardly matters; I left that expository
space feeling like I’d just finished the

course ever.
The show does strain at times to cre-
ate visual experience. There’s only so
much you can do with movie posters,
costumes, fan magazines, and video ki-
osks, though a sealed space unfurls the
balletic one-shot fight scene from the
2003 film “Old Boy.” The costume tower
is surrounded by perfunctory listening
stations and old album covers behind
glass, and the looping music video screen
repeats itself quickly. The MFA cannily
augments the display with artworks
from its collection. A 19th-century ink
painting of a tiger pairs nicely with a
poster from the Seoul 1988 Summer
Olympics — the global coming-out party
for a newly free and forward thinking
South Korea — and its mascot, a tiger
named Hodori, a symbol of strength and
a protector from evil spirits.
But the split between the show’s
book-learning and flash leaves space to
forge a poetic connection between past
and present in “Hallyu!”’s spaces re-
served for unvarnished beauty. A pair of
serene galleries away from the spectacle
contain an array of hanbok, traditional
clothing — gowns for women, robes for
men — made of fine silk; their grace of
form survived both Japanese erasure
and postwar austerity. More to the
point, they thrived, and continue to:
Traditional hanbok share space here
with aggressively contemporary ver-
sions — one, deconstructed into long,
layered strips, was worn by Wooyoung
from South Korean boy group ATEEZ.
The deep past and immediate pres-
ent collide here, gently but clearly, and
quietly capture a cultural lineage alive
in the moment. In the Korean wave,
there’s nothing to be nostalgic for. It’s all
here, right now.

Highsmith’s 1955 crime novel “The Tal-
ented Mr. Ripley.” He’ll play Tom Ripley,
the suave but violent and amoral con
man that Highsmith featured in five
novels. Johnny Flynn will play Dickie
Greenleaf and Dakota Fanning will play
Marge Sherwood. In Anthony Minghel-
la’s 1999 movie adaptation of the same
book, those three roles were played, re-
spectively, by Matt Damon, Jude Law,
and Gwyneth Paltrow. Fingers crossed:
The eight-parter is written, directed,
and executive produced by Steven Zail-
lian, whose credits include “The Night
Of ” and “Schindler’s List.” By the way,
it’s in black and white. (Netflix, April 4)
MARY GEORGE This one sounds like
audacious, “The Great”-like costume-
drama fun. It’s a British historical tale
based on Benjamin Woolley’s nonfiction
book “The King’s Assassin,” and it stars
Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine
as the scheming mother-and-son pair of
the title. The seven-parter finds them
plotting to conquer the Court of Eng-
land and place George in the bed of
King James I. The goal: money, power,
and influence. Tony Curran plays the
king, and Laurie Davidson is the king’s
lover whom George wants to replace.
(Starz, April 5)
SUGAR Hmm. Very mysterious. This
show, starring Colin Farrell, is being de-
scribed as a “genre-bending” detective
series, with Farrell’s Los Angeles PI
John Sugar struggling “with personal
demons.” He is hired to find the missing
granddaughter of a legendary film pro-
ducer, and in his search he uncovers
some of that family’s darkest secrets.
From “I Am Legend” writer Mark Proto-
sevich, the show also stars Amy Ryan,
James Cromwell, Anna Gunn, and Nate
Corddry. (Apple TV+, April 5)

pearance in the first episode. (Netflix,

FRANKLIN Michael Douglas stars as
Benjamin Franklin in this miniseries,
which is based on Stacy Schiff ’s 2005
book “A Great Improvisation: Franklin,
France, and the Birth of America.” The
eight-parter gives us the American poly-
math during the eight years he spent in
France in 1776 trying to sway that coun-
try into supporting American indepen-
dence. Noah Jupe costars as his 16-year-
old grandson, William Temple Franklin,
known as Temple, who comes along as
his secretary. (Apple TV+, April 12)
A MAN IN FULL Jeff Daniels stars in
David E. Kelley’s six-episode adaptation
of the 1998 novel by Tom Wolfe — so
there are three, three, three big names
in one. Daniels plays a real estate mogul
Here’s another Holocaust miniseries,
this one based on the best-selling 2018
novel by Heather Morris. It’s based on
the true story of Slovakian Jew Lali
Sokolov, who fell in love with a girl, Gita
Furman, he was tattooing at the death
camp in 1942. Jonah Hauer-King (from
“World on Fire”) and Polish actress An-
na Próchniak play Lali and Gita as
younger prisoners; Harvey Keitel plays
the older Lali, who meets with author
Morris (Melanie Lynskey) to tell his sto-
ry. (Peacock, May 2)
MARYLAND Two of my favorites,
Suranne Jones (“Gentleman Jack”) and
Eve Best (“Nurse Jackie,” “House of the
Dragon”), star as sisters in this “Master-
piece” import. The pair have been es-
tranged, but they reunite after their
mother’s sudden death on the Isle of
Man and learn a few secrets about her
life. Stockard Channing is also in the
three-part domestic drama. Reviews
were excellent when the series aired in
the UK last summer. (PBS, May 5)
THE BIG CIGAR I’ve been a fan of An-
dre Holland since he starred in “The
Knick” with Clive Owen. In this minise-
ries, he plays Black Panther leader Huey
P. Newton during the time he fled to Cu-
ba with the help of Hollywood producer
Bert Schneider (Alessandro Nivola) to
evade the FBI. The six-parter is based
on a magazine article by Joshuah Bear-
man, who also wrote the article that
was adapted into the movie “Argo.” Tif-
fany Boone, Glynn Turman, and Noah
Emmerich also star. (Apple TV+, May

GLOBE STAFF
ean-Luc Godard famously de-
scribed the characters in his
“Masculin féminin” as “the chil-
dren of Marx and Coca-Cola.”
The characters in Edward Yang’s films
are the grandchildren of Chiang Kai-
shek and Coca-Cola.
They live in an ’80s and ’90s Taiwan
that’s rapidly democratizing and already
globalized. The title of Yang’s second
feature, “Taipei Story” (1985), could de-
scribe all of his films. “It took a city
named Taipei just 20 years to become
one of the wealthiest cities in the world,”
announces a title card at the beginning
of “A Confucian Confusion” (1994). The
ratio of chagrin to satisfaction in that
statement is uncertain. Uncertainty,
emotional and otherwise, is something
Yang was extremely good at conveying.
The seven features and one short
that make up Chronicles of Changing
Times. The Cinema of Edward Yang at
the Harvard Film Archive offer a fasci-
nating window on a society radically re-
casting itself. More important, they af-
ford an opportunity to watch the work
of a great and enduring filmmaker. Dis-
tinctive, inventive, unemphatic, at once
detached and deeply felt, Yang’s films
manage to be both timeless and abso-
lutely of a particular time and place.
Yang (1947-2007) took a round-
about route to filmmaking. Born in
Shanghai, he grew up in Taipei and as a
child liked to make his own comic
degree in electrical engineering, he
spent a decade in the United States. He
got a master’s at the University of Flori-
da, then briefly attended film school at
the University of Southern California.
He applied to architecture school at
Harvard. Accepted, he chose not to go,
instead working in high tech in Seattle.
With that unusual resumé in hand,
Yang returned to Taiwan in 1980. A
friend from USC asked him to help
write a script, which was produced as
“The Winter of 1905” (1981). The star
of a Taiwanese miniseries had him write
and direct an episode. This led to Yang’s
directing debut on the big screen with
the short “Expectations,” part of an om-
nibus film, “In Our Time” (1982), a
touchstone of what would become
known as Taiwan New Cinema.
The retrospective begins March 29 at
7 p.m., with Yang’s final, and best-
known, film, “Yi Yi” (2000), which won
him best director at Cannes. It runs
through May 5. Yang’s widow, the pia-
nist and composer Kaili Peng, will intro-
duce “Yi Yi” and, on March 30, at 6 p.m.,
his magnum opus, “A Brighter Summer
Day” (1991), set in the early ’60s.
In length, “Yi Yi,” at just under three
hours, and “Day,” at just under four, are
atypical of Yang’s work. Otherwise they
exhibit so many of the qualities found in
all the films. At their frequent best,
Yang’s movies just seem to unfold.
Sometime that unfolding can take on an
origami aspect. In his first feature,

“That Day, on the Beach” (1983), what
initially seems to be the story of a con-
cert pianist returning to Taiwan after a
dozen years in Europe shifts to being
the story of her ex-lover’s sister, that sto-
ry told with flashbacks within flash-
backs within flashbacks. Yang makes
the complicatedness seem simple. It’s
an instance of his narrative sure-hand-
edness, as is “Yi Yi.” Its multi-genera-
tional view of a family under stress is so
casually presented it’s easy to miss the
intricacy of the plotting and how the
various plot elements come together
without seeming in any way forced.
Again, unfolding: storytelling as flow
reflecting life as flow.
Situations and relations interest
Yang more than incident and plot.
There’s a sense of lives being lived rath-
er than story enacted. The police shoot-
(1986) matters less as action, though it’s
stirringly filmed, than as introduction
to three very different couples who are
in proximity to the event. One way that
Yang conveys so well a multi-layered
sense of social fabric — Taipei as not just
a place on a map but one where actual
people live — is through intertwined
narratives, like that of the couples. His
skill at creating emotional tapestries re-
calls the Robert Altman of “Nashville”
and “Short Cuts,” or the Paul Thomas
Anderson of “Magnolia.” There’s a key
difference with Altman, though: Yang
treats his characters humanely.
Large-scale narratives would pre-
sumably involve lots of cutting. Yang
prefers long takes, another way he em-
phasizes situation over event. Put two
characters in the front seat of a car, as in
the comedies “A Confucian Confusion”
or “Mahjong” (1996), and Yang knows
right where to put his camera: on the
hood, looking through the windshield,
and never cutting away from the faces
of driver and passenger — or the view of
Taipei passing alongside.
Yang’s also fond of long shots. The
preference is as much moral as visual:
The distance is a mark of respect to-
ward the people on screen. It also re-
lates to his use of space. You’re as aware
of where his characters are — court-
yards, corridors, karaoke bars, kitchens,
classrooms — as who they are, and
those various wheres have an uncanny
spatial richness.
the prominence of doorways throughout
Yang’s work. Not doors, out of which
Ernst Lubitsch got such comedic mile-
age, but doorways: the way they’re at
once about opening up space and joining
otherwise divided spaces. Doorways
serve to advance narrative, enrich and
enlarge spatial dimensions, and, most
important, provide a metaphor for
choice, possibility, and connection.
They’re where Yang is most at home, and
his films most characteristically Yangian.
There’s a temptation when a director’s
work is unfamiliar to many viewers to de-
scribe it in terms of other films and film-
makers. Beside Altman and Anderson,
there’s how his sympathy for and interest
in young people is like Steven Spielberg’s,
only more so. “Yi Yi” is distant kin to
“Fanny and Alexander.” “A Confucian
Confusion” recalls a less sexualized ver-
sion of the romantic roundelay in “Sham-
poo.” “Summer Day,” with its clashing
teenage gangs, chimes with “Rebel With-
out a Cause” and “West Side Story.”
Apt though each of those compari-
sons may be, and the list could go on,
the temptation should be ignored. What
makes such comparisons beside the
point is that Yang’s work is its own, lit-
erally incomparable realm, found
where Taipei ends and imagination be-
gins. Unmarked on any map, its geogra-
phy is delineated on a screen.

40 years on, a out protest because, to be honest, we weren’t that

impressed with “Ghostbusters.”
Sure, we liked the special effects, and agreed

look back at that the gigantic Stay Puft Marshmallow Man who
ran rampant during the climax was a nice touch.

‘Ghostbusters’
u‘‘GHOSTBUSTERS’’
Continued from Page N1
our local “Low-ees,” the Loews Jersey in my
hometown of Jersey City. Like most big new releas-
es, “Ghostbusters” played in the upstairs theater of
that triplex, the same room where I was intro-
duced to 3-D, Jason Voorhees, and the work of di-
rector Robert Altman.
I don’t remember why my cousins chose to see
the second-highest-grossing movie of 1984 that
day (“Beverly Hills Cop” was number one at the
end of the year). Especially when “Beat Street,” the
Harry Belafonte-produced rap musical, had
opened that same weekend around the corner at
the State. As teens immersed in hip-hop culture,
that movie was more our speed.
And yet, we went to “Ghostbusters.” Perhaps
Bill Murray influenced the decision. He was the
biggest draw for general audiences, coming off of
memorable hits like 1981’s army comedy, “Stripes,”
and the movie I’ve seen more than any other in the
cinematic universe (thanks to HBO), the 1979
summer-camp comedy, “Meatballs.” Like “Ghost-
busters,” those films were directed by the late Ivan
Reitman.
As Dr. Peter Venkman, Murray is the reason
“Ghostbusters” gets classified as a comedy. He has
all the funny one-liners you remember (“He slimed
me,” “OK, so she’s a dog”). Venkman is the wiseacre
of the crew, balancing out Dan Aykroyd’s overly en-
thusiastic Dr. Ray Stantz, Harold Ramis’s goofy sci-
ence nerd Dr. Egon Spengler, and Ernie Hudson’s
totally useless Winston Zeddemore.
Perhaps it was the ghost angle that drew my
cousins in. Ray Parker Jr.’s famous “chorus” in his
Oscar-nominated song is “I ain’t afraid of no
ghosts.” Thanks to “Poltergeist” and my grand-
mother’s house (which is haunted!), we damn sure
were afraid. Seeing ghosts getting walloped may
have been the catalyst for giving our hard-earned
allowance money to the Columbia Pictures torch
lady.
I don’t remember why we saw “Ghostbusters,”
but I do know that it was not my decision. Since
December 1980, I hadn’t been allowed to choose
the movie my cousins and I went to see under any
circumstance. The aforementioned Robert Altman
is the reason. You see, I suggested Altman’s bizarre

picking the movie forever. Thanks, Bob!
But I digress. We walked into “Ghostbusters”
during the scene where Sigourney Weaver’s cello
player, Dana, gets possessed by an entity called
Zuul, an act that will lead to the film’s best line:
“There is no Dana. Only Zuul!” Immediately, we
got hit with a scary scene, which made us think
“Ghostbusters” would lean more into its horror el-
ements.
Older readers will recall that, back then, you
could enter a movie anytime you wanted. You’d
simply stay for the next screening, and leave when
you got to the part you already saw. “This is where
I came in,” you’d say, and out you would go. More
often than not, we’d stay to watch the entire movie,
but not this time.
When the next screening got to the part where
Dana became Zuul, my older cousin tapped me on
the shoulder. “We out,” he said. And we left with-
Plus, we were big fans of that 1983 Canadian mas-
terpiece, “Strange Brew,” so we loved seeing Bob
McKenzie himself, Rick Moranis, as the Keymaster
to Zuul’s Gatekeeper.
But overall, “Ghostbusters” just didn’t click for
us the way it did for millions of fans.
Even as a teenager, I was writing movie reviews
and assigning star ratings. I gave “Ghostbusters”
2½ stars. Readers are always rending their gar-
ments when I don’t give a movie they like a posi-
tive review, but 2½ stars is basically a C+.
At least I kind of liked it. My predecessor at the
Globe, Jay Carr, hated it.
“In some ways, ‘Ghostbusters’ is the biggest
bust of all,” he wrote, ending his June 9, 1984 re-
view with “it’s a dead battery.”
Still, “Ghostbusters” was EVERYWHERE after
it came out. There were cartoons on TV, numerous
toys, and a video game, and the theme song went
to number one. You couldn’t escape the film’s icon-
ic logo: It was on lunchboxes, backpacks, even a
breakfast cereal (which was a ripoff — it was just
Kix with marshmallows). I can’t tell you how many
times I walked past Ghostbusters HQ when I
worked in TriBeCa.
On Halloween in 1984, everybody but me was a
Ghostbuster. But don’t worry, I rectified that error
37 years later. I dressed as Egon Spengler, because
I’m nerdy and I wear glasses, and I’m still pissed
off at how useless Winston is in the original movie.
As I walked down the street to a pub crawl in
Los Angeles, people yelled out, “Who ya gonna

ere’s one path Holly-
wood stardom can fol-
low.
A receptionist in a
chiropodist’s office is
signed to a contract by a film producer.
That producer, Howard Hughes, makes
her the centerpiece of a movie. Well,
more accurately, he makes her bosom
the centerpiece. That movie, “The Out-
law” (1943), is so scandalous censorship
issues delay its release for two years.
She goes on to become a major star in
the ’50s, holding her own onscreen with
the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Robert
Mitchum, and Clark Gable. Later, as a
television spokeswoman for the Play-
tex’s Cross-Your-Heart Bra, she earns
possibly even more renown uttering the
tagline “For us full-figured gals.”
The woman in question is Jane Rus-
sell (1921-2011), and that paragraph
leaves out such details as her marriage
to Bob Waterfield, a future Hall of Fame
quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams
— yes, Jane and Bob were the Giselle
and Tom of their day, right down, alas,
to the marriage going pffft — and her re-
placing Elaine Stritch in the original
Broadway production of Stephen Sond-
heim’s “Company.”
Howard Hughes. Cross-Your-Heart
Bras. The NFL. Stephen Sondheim. You
could say that they just don’t make ca-
reers like that anymore — except that
they never did, other than Russell’s.
Hers was a stardom template of one.
This month the Criterion Channel
pays tribute with “Starring Jane Rus-
sell,” a four-movie mini-festival. That it’s
running during Women’s Histor y
Month is a nice bonus, since hers was
also a persona of one. To think of her as
a feminist ideal might seem a stretch,
but it would be even more of a stretch to
think of her as any kind of pushover.
Each of the four movies bears that out.
In “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”
(1952), Russell’s Dorothy manages to
keep Monroe’s Lorelei out of trouble
(“Remember, honey, on your wedding
day it’s all right to say ‘yes’”). That is no
small accomplishment. In “Macao”
(1952), she lifts Mitchum’s wallet.
That’s an even bigger one. In the west-
ern “The Tall Men” (1955), she handles
a Winchester with ease and aims a six-
gun at Gable. “If there’s any trouble,”
she announces to him and Robert Ryan,
“I’ll handle my share.” You can count on
it. In “The Revolt of Mamie Stover”
(1956), she tells Richard Egan, “Some
people can afford to be respectable. But
I can’t.”
Illusioned Jane Russell was not.
Those big shoulders did more than just
accentuate her curviness. They also in-
dicated her strength. As an actress, Rus-
sell didn’t have much range. She didn’t
need any. She had something harder to
come by: presence.

GLOBE STAFF
n 1972, Brooklyn congresswom-
an Shirley Chisholm — the first
Black woman elected to Con-
gress — became the first Black
woman to seek the presidential nomi-
nation from a major party. She lost the
Democratic nomination to Senator
George McGovern, who lost the presi-
dential election in a landslide to Rich-
ard Nixon. But she went down in histo-
ry as staying true to her campaign slo-
gan: “Unbought and Unbossed.”
So why don’t more people know
about her? “That was the reason my sis-
ter and I decided to tell this story — be-
cause we realized how many people
hadn’t even heard her name,” says Regi-
na King, 53, who produced and stars in
the new movie “Shirley” along with her
younger sister, Reina King. (Chisholm
died at 80 in 2005.)
Written and directed by John Ridley
(whose screenwriting credits include
2013’s “12 Years a Slave”), “Shirley” will
be available on Netflix starting Friday.
King, who won a best supporting
Oscar for her role in 2018’s “If Beale
Street Could Talk” (she also has four
Emmys), started her career on the sit-
com “227” before making memorable
turns in John Singleton films like “Boyz

wife of Cuba Gooding Jr.’s football play-

I got the opportunity to get to know her
goddaughter very well. That was price-
less because that’s where I was able to
get all those little fine details about her
that we were able to put into the film
that make you really connect with her
on a human level. She actually laughs,
she has a quick wit, she loves to dance.
Q. Who would ever think to show Shir-
ley Chisholm dancing?
A. Exactly. When I was speaking to [her
goddaughter], I was like, “oh, my God,
are you serious?” And she was like, “yes,
she could cut a rug — if the music was
on, she was going to be on the dance
floor.” You would never think that be-
cause she’s always so composed, which,
N7
grew up in Southern California and had
the unfussy vowels to prove it. The lack
of fussiness extended to her name. It’s
as homespun as calico and buttermilk.
None of that fancy-pants Ava Gardner
or Lana Turner or Grace Kelly. It’s basi-
cally impossible to imagine Russell
paired with Kelly, as she was with Mon-
roe, let alone as effectively.
Yet she was no plain Jane. “You’re
not the only one around here with hid-
den talents,” she says to Monroe. Rus-
sell, who sings in all four of the movies
(even the western), had a good voice.
Casting her in a Sondheim musical was
no stunt. The voice was deep and
throaty, nearly a contralto. It was as
sexy as her figure.
Russell wasn’t a classic beauty. She
had a rectangular face, with a markedly
high forehead, and a slightly witchy
nose. Neither was she a traditional sex
symbol. She certainly had va-va-voom
curves. “Culture is the ability to describe
Jane Russell without moving your
hands,” joked Bob Hope, who starred in
three movies with her. But think of Rus-
sell as dumb or naive or vulnerable at
your peril. The standard Hollywood sex
symbol is a “girl,” regardless of age: in
the grammar of stardom, always object,
never subject. No one’s object, Russell
was a capital-W woman.
“It’s not that I mind bein’ stared at,”
she says to Ryan in “The Tall Men.”
“That’s part of bein’ a female. But I don’t
like bein’ weighed, measured, and
counted.” She also says to him, “I wear a
size 7½ boot. You can guess about the
rest.” Those boots really are made for
walking. Also note that in the movie
Russell does not ride sidesaddle.
The contrast with Monroe in “Gen-
tlemen” speaks for itself. Russell is like a
knowing older sister, or a Butch Cassidy
to Monroe’s Sundance (it’s as much fe-
male buddy movie as musical). Never
taking herself at all seriously, Russell’s
in on the joke, the joke being desirabili-
ty, stardom, glamour — all of the above.
Underscoring that self-awareness is a
scene where she gets to impersonate
Monroe. It’s hard to say who’s having
more fun: Russell or the audience.
Being in on the joke was an onscreen
constant. It’s one thing to appear sullen,
and Russell did it very well. Few actress-
es have better understood the relation
between sullen and sultry. It’s quite an-
other to have one of the all-time “You
must be kidding” expressions. Come-
hither looks from her were a lot harder
to come by than oh-go-away ones.
There’s a reason she and Mitchum
were so good together. He probably had
the most relaxed onscreen manner of
any star in movie history. Russell gave
him a stroll for his money. Unfortunate-
ly, they made only one other movie be-
side “Macao.” It’s called “His Kind of
Woman” (1951). Not just his, either.

of course, she had to be in the public
space.
You learn that Shirley Chisholm
loved a Happy Meal with a strawberry
shake — you got to put that in there,
right?
Q. Right. That’s great. You don’t learn
about that in history class.
A. No, you don’t. But I feel like those
things, when you’re telling the story, are
just as important because that’s what
helps the audience to lean in.
Q. It’s Women’s History Month, and the
presidential election is coming up. Is
that something you were thinking of
while you were playing her?
A. The intention going into the movie
was not that we were going to release it
at this time. But as the film came to-
gether, once we finished shooting it, we
had the decision of, “Are we going to re-
lease it now?,” which would have been
last year, or wait until next year? Reina
and I talked about it and we felt like, I
mean, it’s a presidential election year. If
that’s not the best way to honor Shirley,
I don’t know a better way.
What she stood for should be what
continues on, even though she’s not
here in the human form — and that’s for
the people, by the people, all people, no
matter what you look like, no matter
what sex you are. Hopefully, younger
people see [the film] and feel encour-
aged or inspired to become part of the
political process, because we do need
that youthful energy involved on the lo-
cal level.
Q. Do you think she could have been
elected today?
A. Oh, I have no doubt. With the op-
tions that we have — I would say that
there are more progressive thinkers
now than before — she would have
won.

chive that she acquired for the Schlesinger Li-
brary after Royalle’s death in 2015. Kamensky
also was able to interview many of Royalle’s
survivors, including her sister, her half-brother,
and her ex-husband, longtime friend and busi-
ness partner Per Sjöstedt.
While Royalle wasn’t a media icon, the
book’s subtitle, “A History from Below,” seems
to understate her prominence. In Kamensky’s
telling, Royalle positioned herself in the thick
of the so-called sex wars, the fight over pornog-
raphy that roiled both second-wave feminism
and the larger political culture.
Royalle cofounded Femme Productions, a
feminist-leaning adult-film company, and also
a group called Feminists for Free Expression.
She was friends with leading sex-positive fig-
ures of her day, including the performing artist
Annie Sprinkle. Her death, at 64, of ovarian
cancer, occasioned bicoastal memorials and a
New York Times obituary that described her as
a “self-styled feminist filmmaker.”
The text makes claims for her cultural im-
portance. “Her life, despite or indeed because
of its extremes — its literal bareness — embod-
ies both the promise and the perils of her
times, and their aftermath,” Kamensky writes.
Through the prism of Royalle’s life story, Ka-
mensky aims to relate no less than “a whole
new history … of the so-called sexual revolu-
tion,” with its complex currents of reaction and
counter-reaction.
The battle lines grow murky, even if Kamen-
sky limns them with precision and dispassion.
In fact, the most interesting parts of the book
are the most purely personal.
Kamensky’s account of Royalle’s childhood,
in New York City and environs, is especially riv-
eting. Her mother, the former Peggy Thomp-
son Hume, abandoned the family when Can-
dice was less than 2 years old, and neither Can-
dice nor her older sister, who’s referred to
alternately as Cynthia, Cinthea, and Cindi,
would ever see her again. Peggy, it seems, had
ample reason to escape, even at such a brutal
cost. Her husband, Louis Vadala, a jazz musi-
cian, was physically abusive, according to Jim-
my Hume, Peggy’s son from her first marriage.
Louis Vadala’s second wife, Helen Duffy,
wasn’t happy either. She turned moody and vi-
olent toward her stepdaughters, and she, too,
would eventually leave. One trigger for her de-
parture was her husband’s incestuous fixation
on Cynthia. (Why, Candice wondered, wasn’t it
her?) Years later Vadala would be convicted of
sexually molesting a 6-year-old girl. Royalle’s
troubled family life no doubt shadowed her lat-
er romantic relationships, with men and occa-
sional women.
Along with beauty and an effervescent per-
sonality, Royalle seems to have possessed at
least modest gifts as an artist, singer, and danc-
er. But they weren’t singular enough to ensure
mainstream success.
Kamensky calls her “an instinctive femi-
nist,” and notes that she joined a feminist col-
lective in New York. But, after moving to San
Francisco and then Los Angeles, Royalle de-
faulted to acting in sexually explicit films to pay
the bills. “She had chosen badly, and from a
limited field of options,” Kamensky says. Disas-
trous love affairs, multiple casual liaisons, and
heavy drug use followed.
Royalle’s hardcore catalog included such ti-
tles as “Hot and Saucy Pizza Girls” and “Ultra
Flesh.” In time, she would condemn the indus-
try for producing what she called “feelingless
mechanical crap.”
Her vision for Femme, launched in 1984,
was to make erotic films more appealing to
women and couples. Foreplay got a boost. With
AIDs spreading, the films highlighted safer sex
practices. There were grateful fans, awards,
media attention. But, by the 1990s, the indus-
try was rocked by technological upheavals —
the rise of amateur videos and online content
— and Royalle’s filmmaking enterprise foun-
dered.
Efforts to ban pornography had allied evan-
gelicals and other social conservatives with
feminists, such as Catharine MacKinnon and
Andrea Dworkin, who saw porn as degrading
and dangerous to women. Porn’s defenders in-
cluded sex-positive feminists and civil libertari-
ans. Royalle tried to bridge the divide. “She re-
jected both the victimology and the criminolo-
gy of anti-pornography,” Kamensky writes.
“But she also knew, and sometimes spoke to,
the darker sides of the sex industry…”
Kamensky takes us deep into these battles,
and up to the present, arguing that the rise of
the #MeToo movement has reignited the sex
wars. She also touches on how changing sexual
attitudes, from puritanical strictures to norma-
tive libertinism, have affected women’s person-
al choices and psyches. Royalle’s diaries show
her wrestling with the relationship between
sex and love: Was it liberation to sunder the
two? Or a victory to insist on lashing them to-
gether?
Kamensky’s own take is that both sides in
the sex wars were wrong. “Neither fully cap-
tured the complexities of pleasure or danger,
let alone of women’s full humanity,” she writes.
Royalle’s life, as she sees it, was a quest to navi-
gate those complexities, raising issues that
transcend the labyrinthine politics of porn, and
still resonate today.

Elijah Wald’s new book is “Jelly Roll Blues: Censored Songs and Hidden Histories.”
Unearthing the
censored history
of American folk
and popular song
By Steve Waksman
I
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
n 1938 Jelly Roll Morton,
a major New Orleans jazz
pioneer, sat down for a
series of extensive inter-
views and performances
with a young folklorist named Al-
an Lomax. Sound recordings of
these interviews have been issued
in various packages since the
1940s, but as Elijah Wald tells us
in the opening of “Jelly Roll
Blues,” the full set of them was
not made available until 2005.
The material that was held back,
including a singular 30-minute
track that Lomax titled “The Mur-
der Ballad,” was marked by lan-
guage and subject matter that
“polite” audiences of the mid-
20th century would have consid-
ered obscene. A sample couplet,
from “The Murder Ballad,” goes:
“If you don’t leave my [expletive]
man alone … I’ll cut your throat
and drink your [expletive] blood
like wine.”
Digging into these deliberately
obscured and censored facets of
American folk and popular song,
with the Morton/Lomax record-
ings as a primary guide, Wald
seeks not only to reconstruct a lit-
tle-known body of music, but to
explore and reveal the social
world out of which that music
came — a world of working-class
leisure in which racial lines were
alternately blurred and defended,
where linguistic and musical
codes were often illegible to out-
siders. This was, by Wald’s ac-
count, the world out of which the
blues and other major strains of
American music emerged. It re-
mains inadequately understood
because subsequent scholars and
collectors have reproduced the bi-
ases of those who originally col-
lected the material and chose to
keep much of it out of earshot.
“Jelly Roll Blues” provides a ma-
jor corrective to these tendencies
and should appeal to any readers
who want to deepen their knowl-
edge of the foundations of Ameri-
can music.

JELLY ROLL BLUES: Censored
Songs and Hidden Histories
By Elijah Wald
Hachette, 352 pp., $32
fresh understanding of the music
of blues great Robert Johnson, of-
fered the definitive account of
Bob Dylan’s pivotal 1965 Newport
Folk Festival performance, and
covered a plethora of styles from
ragtime to hip-hop to narcocorri-
dos with unique insight. “Jelly
Roll Blues” most parallels his
book on Johnson, “Escaping the
Delta,” in using a recognized
Black music icon as a springboard
for wider inquiry into the social
history of American music tradi-
tions. Morton provides a through
line for the book, but Wald is not
so interested in the music for
which the pianist and composer
became best known, his solo pia-
no and ensemble recordings
made from 1923-30 that helped
define and refine jazz. His mis-
sion, instead, is to follow clues
that Morton offered in his inter-
views with Lomax about how the
earliest blues might have sounded
before it started to be put on re-
cord.
“The Murder Ballad” and oth-
er pieces played during these ses-
sions, such as “Make Me a Pallet
on the Floor” and “Winding Ball,”
derive from an early period in
Morton’s life, essentially the first
decade of the 20th century. They
were part of an oral culture where
they served, as Wald suggests, as
a medium of storytelling and an
occasion for a musician like Mor-
ton to show off his capacity for
verbal and melodic invention. As
true folk culture, these songs con-
sist of lines and stanzas that were
widely borrowed and circulated,
but each one also contains por-
tions that are wholly unique to
the performance. Wald is truly
virtuosic in the way he disentan-
gles key lines and phrases and
traces them across different
sources, demonstrating how
these works accumulated and dis-
carded meanings as they moved
across time and place.

KO: I love Don DeLillo. I’ve re-

about his pace and style of his

SANDRINE SHEON/HACHETTE
The vulgarity of these songs
was essential to their entertain-
ment value. Morton, in these ear-
ly years of his career, was com-
monly performing in the compa-
ny of prostitutes and their
patrons, or saloon hall customers
out for a night of carousing. Con-
ventional wisdom has held that
the most graphic and obscene
material was used to stir the pas-
sions of johns-in-waiting or to
build a sense of male-to-male ca-
maraderie, but Wald provocative-
ly — and convincingly — ques-
tions this assumption, intimating
that women were just as likely to
be the principal audience, and
that female singers were founda-
tional to this body of work. Trac-
ing a piece called “Mamie’s Blues,”
Wald offers a capsule history of
the sexual economy of turn-of-
the-century New Orleans that in-
cludes this telling anecdote from
musician John Handy: “When the
girls come out of them cribs, they
go home and take their bath and
straighten theirself up and put on
some clothes and came out there
and just throw away some money.
… It wasn’t nothing for them to
come up there and give you four
or five dollars to play a number.”
“Jelly Roll Blues” can be read
to learn how phrases like “wind-
ing ball” and “hog-eye” carried
sexually suggestive connotations
that have become largely lost to
history, and it is a rollicking book
on that score alone. Its deeper sig-
nificance, though, comes from the
way it uncovers the mechanisms
by which we learn about the past
in the first place. Wald admires
Lomax for his willingness to pull
songs and stories out of Morton
that the latter was sometimes hes-
itant to share, but also lays bare
how unequal their relationship
was: the white folklorist and the
Creole musician. Pushing past
where even Lomax was willing to
go, “Jelly Roll Blues” enriches our
sense of how the world used to
sound.

with its close inspection of calf muscles, dew,
and faint odors — could end up being dull, a
worry concomitant with a sense of impa-
tience, especially while reading a novel that
incites expectations of an insider-y (albeit fic-
tional) tell-all of the first Black president’s rise
to power.
Fortunately, this restlessness is soon al-
layed by the quality of Cunningham’s writing.
The vivid attention to detail in “Great Expec-
tations” creates a singular, and sobering,
mood — an ambient rumination on the re-
cent, and seemingly very distant, past.
Meticulous attention is also a function of
David’s character. As he mentions in an aside,
while noticing the “startlingly well-main-
tained cuticles” of some men hobnobbing at
the music producer’s event: “I watched them
closely, looking for a way to be.”
In his early 20s and on a break from col-
lege compelled by paternity, David is on the
threshold of adulthood, at a time when life
ahead is a cornucopia of possibility. Having
stumbled Pip-like into the well-heeled, high-
status circle of donors to the “candidate’s”
campaign, David has options that expand ex-
ponentially. Some older members of this class
tend to remind him of this, gently urging him
toward law school or “finance” whenever his
nascent aspirations to become a writer are
broached.
In an attempt to resolve any youthful un-
certainty about his path, David looks fixedly
upon life as one would a painting, the mean-
ing of which, he expects, will surely reveal it-
self through his focused power of attention.
He develops this skill when training his
gaze on the “candidate,” whose “height was
helped by an incredibly erect posture that
looked almost practiced, the kind of talisman-
ic maneuver meant to send forth subliminal
messages about confidence and power.” David
studies the candidate as he addresses a
crowd, noting his “royally high” chin, or “how
the heel of his left foot left the ground when
he stood still.” Like the propman for a play,
David watches from offstage as, with his re-
hearsed speech and movements, the candi-
date captivates his audience.
David not only views politics as a function
of performance, but just about all other as-
pects of work and life as well. (Cunningham is
a theater critic for The New Yorker.) Soon af-
ter his enlistment as a campaign staffer, David
discovers that mixing among this affluent mi-
lieu — and, perhaps, entering adulthood in it-
self — is a crash course in impression man-
agement.
The candidate, of course, epitomizes this
lesson, having crystallized into a walking,
talking symbol — or, at least, he has from Da-
vid’s perspective. Everyone else seems to have
been taken in completely. David notes that
the donors “treat [the candidate] like a sign,
like something whose outward image was in-
trinsic to his identity.”
Indeed, with other characters, David can
both see their masks and peer behind them,
as he does when he watches his manager try
to dissuade a would-be volunteer with “nice-
nasty sunniness,” or his mentor, Beverly, drop
her composure at an event to shoot him a
“mocking and suggestive” smile. The candi-
date, however, becomes synonymous with his
“intimate seeming” addresses and “gestures
whose naturalism [David had] watched him
hone for months.”
While it is clear to David what the candi-
date is supposed to represent to others — that
now seemingly quaint “hope” for “change” —
he finds it challenging to decipher what, ex-
actly, the candidate is supposed to mean to
him, his talent for intense scrutiny notwith-
standing. Like a piece by his namesake, David
Hammons — the conceptual artist who de-
ploys symbolism associated with African
American culture in his work — the candidate
invites lazy interpretation while eluding the
deeper understanding of those who try to see
beyond the surface. For David, the candidate
seems to defy the old literary adage that ac-
tion reveals character, as well as his belief that
very close observation will surely betray
“truth.”
Close looking is not David’s only venue in
his search for meaning. He regularly recounts
his recent past as a devout Christian and his
experiences in the church, and is well aware
of the grand performances in that arena: the
dramatic oratory, the call and response, the
speaking in tongues, the occasional fainting.
But, as he returns to these episodic memories
throughout the novel, he seems to regard
these performances as an indicator of some-
thing real, a contrast to the strategic personas
he regularly encounters in the fund-raising
realm.
Although David is of the age to regard his
erstwhile faith with ambivalence, he is not yet
willing to let it go completely. That period
seems to represent a phase of his life when ac-
tually believing in something was more im-
portant than simply appearing to. What re-
mains unwavering is David’s faith in authen-
ticity, and the novel ultimately explores
whether he will retain it.

High surf breaks on Oahu’s
Windward coast in 2020.
Vrbo
promised to
cover my
rental bill in
Hawaii, so
why won’t it?
By Christopher Elliott
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
Q. My family and I recently rented a
house through Vrbo for a vacation stay
in Hawaii. When we entered the home,
we were immediately hit with a strong
smell of mold. Upon further inspection,
we noted and took pictures of black
mold located on the smoke detector, the
pictures hanging on the walls, the
shower stall, and the windowsills.
One of the members of my party is a
17-year-old who has severe asthma. She
has been hospitalized in the past on sev-
eral occasions for this and continues to
be under the direct care of a respiratory
specialist. So, I immediately contacted
the homeowner, who was very kind and
suggested that we get in touch with Vr-
bo for assistance. The homeowner of-
fered to cancel the reservation if we did
not feel comfortable staying there.
I contacted Vrbo, and a representa-
tive assured me that we were covered by
its “Book With Confidence Guarantee.”
Vrbo sent us an email authorizing us to
spend $15,138 for a new place, which
was double what we originally paid. The
new place was $21,014, but we had no
choice, since there was an extremely
limited inventory available on Oahu for
seven people at the last minute. A repre-
sentative assured me that Vrbo would
cover the entire amount.
I just received a follow-up email
from Vrbo this morning, stating that
“upon research into this matter, it has
been determined that the requested re-
imbursement is not available through
the Book With Confidence program due
to the temporary nature of the cleanli-
ness issues reported.” Can you help me
get Vrbo to cover the new rental, as
promised?
CHERYL MANDER,
Surrey, British Columbia, Canada
A. I’m sorr y to hear about your
moldy rental. You did the right thing by
contacting the owner first and then Vr-
bo. And you really followed the Elliott
Method by getting almost everything in
writing, including Vrbo’s promise to
cover you for up to $15,138 in addition-
al lodging expenses. This is a reasonable
offer, given that it was a last-minute res-
ervation in Hawaii.
Vrbo’s Book With Confidence Guar-
antee promises if the property was ma-
terially misrepresented in the listing, it
will help you book a new reservation.
The Vrbo agent with whom you spoke
said it would apply to your situation,
and I agree.
Unfortunately, you didn’t get the sec-
ond promise to cover the additional
$5,876 in writing. The agent told you
that over the phone. So, when you sent
your expenses to Vrbo and it saw a bill
for $21,014, the system most likely re-
jected it.
Your case is a reminder to always get
everything in writing, especially when it
comes to promises about covering your
extra costs. At a minimum, you could
have asked the Vrbo representative to
make a notation in your record that you
were authorized to spend $21,014.
If Vrbo continued to reject your in-
voice, you could have reached out to one
of the Vrbo executives I list on my con-
sumer advocacy site, Elliott.org. In the
end, it took an effort by both of us to get
this resolved.
You wrote to the executives, and I
contacted Vrbo separately. The compa-
ny apologized and agreed to refund you
$15,138 and cover the two nights that
you had to spend in a hotel. You accept-
ed its offer.

The Concierge TIPS FOR TOURING HERE AND ABROAD
Personal trainer Isaac Boots
on travel agents, his stack of
books, and Joan Crawford
E
ven though he is a per-
sonal trainer to numer-
ous well-known celebri-
ties (think Gwyneth Pal-
trow, Kelly Ripa, and
Lucy Liu), Isaac Boots said he loves
connecting with all of his clients and
making them feel good about them-
selves — whether through in-person
training or online. “I give the same
amount of attention and energy to a
mother living in Kentucky as I do to
Jessica Chastain,” said Boots, 43, in a
recent phone call from New York City,
where he lives with his husband, Jef-
frey O’Brecht, who runs the business
side of Boots’ TORCH’D brand, and
their two miniature poodles, Davis
and L’il Romeo. Boots, a former
Broadway dancer who developed a
workout routine while performing on
the Great White Way, found that his
techniques worked well not only for
him but for other actors, too. Confi-
dent he was onto something, Boots
segued into personal training, which
took off in 2020, during the COVID-19
pandemic, when he began offering his
TORCH’D classes daily for free online.
He developed a worldwide following
and now, in addition to online and in-
person, one-on-one training sessions,
Boots offers workout classes at high-
end hotels, where guests and non-
guests may take part. His most recent
residency is at the five-star Raffles
Boston hotel in the Back Bay through
April 6, where classes will be offered
in the grand ballroom at 9 a.m. Thurs-
days, Fridays, and Saturdays. “As
much as I have worked in a very elite
world, I’m not elitist,” he said. “I be-
lieve wellness and what I do should be
available and part of daily life for ev-
eryone. I believe in democratizing
health.” Boots said people taking his
classes at Raffles Boston can expect “a
lot of booty blasting, great music,
great energy, and a little taste of what
works — and it really does.” We caught
up with the Oahu, Hawaii, native to
talk about all things travel.
If you could travel anywhere right
now, where would you go? My favor-
ite place in the world is Lake Como in
Italy. My husband and I love exploring
the towns, taking sunset boat rides,
and waking up to the beautiful light
that reflects off the lake. I do hear Asia
calling as well — Japan and Singapore
in particular — so hoping in 2024.

EXHIBITION EXPLORES THE IDEA OF
‘PLACE’
See how artists use different photo-
graphic techniques to capture land-
scapes and the idea of “place” at the
Worcester Art Museum’s new exhibi-
tion running April 6 through July 7.
“New Terrain: 21st-Century Land-
scape Photography” features about 30
artworks that reinterpret the tradi-
tional notion of photography and in-
clude a variety of creative techniques.
These works incorporate three-dimen-
sional printing, weaving, embroidery,
collage, and nontraditional materials
such as rusted cans and lake water. In
one “cameraless” work, for instance,
American artist Meghann Riepenhoff
dips light-sensitive paper into the
ocean to create an image that is argu-
ably more representative of a seascape

through a travel agent or on your
own? We always book through our
travel agent, Tully Luxury Travel. They
can get access to benefits most people
don’t even know about. I also travel so
much that having them coordinate is
one less thing for me to worry about. I
like knowing I can email or call if I
have any questions or if something
needs to change. Another benefit to
having an agent is that they can coor-
dinate everything and give you an itin-
erary you can print [out] so you can
minimize even looking at your phone.
Thoughts on an “unplugged” va-
cation? I love them. If possible, un-
plugging and reading a book or going
on excursions or to a museum is the
best thing for our mental health. Not
to mention being curious and having
experiences you cannot have at home
should always be a welcome idea.

than a conventional photo due to its
direct connection to the ocean. The
collection prompts viewers to consider
how the idea of landscape can be im-
pacted by the use of different materi-
als and processes, and how the results
may reflect our external world, mean-
ing the influence of technology, politi-
cal action, climate change, and more.
The show features nine recent acquisi-
tions from around the world, includ-
ing works by American artist Dawoud
Bey, Taiwanese artist Wu Chi-Tsung,
and Choctaw/Chitimacha artist Sarah
Sense. The museum commissioned
Sense to create “A Plan of Boston,”
which she did by weaving together ar-
chival inkjet prints and 17th-century
colonial maps that stake a claim to
land known today as Plymouth and
Boston. Sense will be the featured
speaker on April 21. Museum admis-
sion: free for members, 17 and under;
tion experience? Whenever I have to
leave the south of France. I would say
flying can be a trying experience lately.
The cost versus the experience don’t
seem to align. But I have flown this
airline La Compagnie to Europe quite
a bit and they have it right. They fly di-
rect to Paris, Milan, and Nice in high
season, and are all business class and
have very fair pricing. Friendly staff
and amenities on the flight are top
notch.
What is your favorite childhood
travel memory? There was no travel
happening in my childhood because
we could barely click two pennies to-
gether. When I was 20, I got a job per-
forming in “Grease das Musical” — the
European tour of “Grease” based in
Germany. It was my first time abroad,
in Europe [and] it felt so romantic and
like a fantasy. I sang “Those Magic
Changes” and danced my booty off.

MARCH 24, 2024
Do you vacation to relax, to learn,
or for the adventure of it all? I like a
mix of everything. There is always
something to discover wherever you
are. But I do love laying by a nice pool
or on the beach, wearing sunscreen of
course — Kopari Sun Shield Body
Glow SPF 50 is my favorite — and
reading a book — usually a classic.
What book do you plan on bring-
ing with you to read on your next va-
cation? I have to bring at least three to
five books with me because I read a lot
and fast. It is my favorite activity, so I
try and read a few hours a day. But
next up on my list is “The Postcard” by
Anne Berest. I read it a few months
ago and it moved me so much that I
want to read it again.
If you could travel with one fa-
mous person/celebrity, who would it
be? Joan Crawford. If you get a
chance, Google “Joan Crawford travel
rider” and you’ll understand why. Her
demands were utterly absurd and ri-
diculous.
What is the best gift to give a
traveler? Money.
What is your go-to snack for a
flight or a road trip? A liter of Evian
and my TORCH’D x Mindset Gum-
mies — they help curb your appetite
and keep you energized. Now if it is an
overnight flight, get a Rest gummy so
you can sleep.
What is the coolest souvenir
you’ve picked up on a vacation? A ro-
sary and holy water from Lourdes,
France. I did a TORCH’D retreat at
Chateau Toulouse-Lautrec in Bor-
deaux and one of the day trips was to
Lourdes. I will never forget it. I was
raised Catholic and was even an altar
boy. I was very close with my grand-
mother, who always talked about
wanting to go to Lourdes, but she nev-
er traveled, so it was very full circle for
me to be there.
What is your favorite app/website
for travel? Air Mail. They always have
great travel advice with a cheeky sense
of humor.
What has travel taught you? To al-
ways be curious and be open to learn-
ing about different places and people.
What is your best travel tip? Eat
before you get to the airport, so you
don’t make poor choices. Hydrate and
bring a bunch of TORCH’D x Mindset
Energy Patches to slap on as soon as
you land. Zero jet lag baby!

double-wall sides (made from recycled
polyester and ripstop nylon), a large
zippered interior pocket, and a mesh
storage sack. The tote can support 50
pounds while the basket holds up to
100 pounds. The collection also in-
cludes the 45-liter Alpaca Gear Box, a
dustproof and waterproof polycarbon-
ate tub with a clear crush-proof lid
(that opens from either side) that’s per-
fect for home storage and easy to grab-
and-go when it’s adventure time. The
stackable gear box also has a fully re-
movable hinged lid. Gregory’s Alpaca

What to do if you get hurt overseas?

uINJURED
Continued from Page N11
descended the remaining two
floors of stairs on my butt, leg ex-
tended, the picture of grace. Other
guests offered assistance, or simply
backed away, unsure if I was hurt,
drunk, or doing a TikTok stunt. Hug-
ging the walls, I entered the hotel res-
taurant for a bag of ice. It didn’t oc-
cur to me to ask for help. I was still
hoping to shake it off, Taylor Swift
style, and get on with my day: a crag-
gy hike with brilliant views of the
Faroes, and, later, a fishing trip to
gather up some Faroe lobsters (lan-
goustines, we would call them).
Not happening. Unsheathed from
its hiking boot, said foot had swollen
to three times its size and was rock-
ing an unnatural angle. Time to text
my hiking guide! There’d be a change
in plans. By this time, I was perched
in the hotel lobby with Creepy Naked
Foot on ice atop an ottoman.
As my ankle throbbed, my first
thought was: Get. Me. Home. Unfor-
tunately, Boston was several hours
away with a long layover in Reykja-
vik, Iceland. (On May 1, Icelandair,
www.icelandair.com, will launch sea-
sonal flights from Boston to the
Faroe Islands with a shorter stop in
Reykjavik, so the journey will be
much quicker.) Getting around with
a backpack, a rolling carry-on, and a
nonfunctional foot would be chal-
lenging. Options: Stay here forever (I
hadn’t seen much of it, but Streymoy
looked lovely) or get my hands on
drugs and crutches.
Sightseeing at the hospital
cafeteria
My Faroe Islands guide, Høgni
Reistrup (www.guidetofaroeis-
lands.fo) kindly drove me to the local
hospital for an X-ray. The hospital
was eerily quiet, and it took hours to
be seen. On the upside, the cafeteria
has water views, so the wait was sce-
nic.
It’s worth noting that the Faroes
are made up of 18 islands, located ap-
proximately midway between Ice-
land, Norway, and northern Scot-
land. The total population is 53,000
or so — about the same as Peabody.
Mass. General Hospital, this was not.
We encountered just one doctor and
a sole X-ray technician. We heard a
newborn baby wail, so I was up next.
As far as I know, the baby, me, and
presumably a new mom were the on-
ly patients.
Was the ankle broken? Maybe,
maybe not, was the verdict. A couple
of white lines on the X-ray looked
suspicious, but … hmm. They outfit-
ted me with a boot cast, crutches,
mild painkillers, and a bill equivalent
to $600. Health care is free for Faroe
Islands residents (although taxes are
high) but not for visitors. I had to pay
the bill right then, and submit it to
my health insurance plan for reim-
bursement, assuming I was covered
for an overseas accident. Alas, most
of us are not (see below.)
Feeling lucky? Not so much.
I considered flying home the next
day. But the wind was howling —
never a good sign for flying — and I
wasn’t feeling especially lucky. So, I
hung out another day with the good
folks of the Faroe Islands, and their
sheep. (The sheep outnumber the
people on the islands. Would they
miss one, if I spirited it onto my flight
as a support animal?) The food was
amazing — fresh seafood, fantastic
salmon, and sheep parts prepared in
various ways. The people I met were
down-to-earth, entrepreneurial, and
delightful. All of this was a welcome
distraction from my screamingly
painful, distorted foot. Back at the
hotel, they found an accessible room
for me.
Typically, I love airports; now I
was dreading the airport experience.
But the personnel from Atlantic Air-
ways (in Vagár) and Icelandair (in
Reykjavik) were wonderful, greeting
me with a wheelchair (so much easi-
PHOTOS BY DIANE BAIR FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE
er than the barstool I’d been using to
get around the hotel) and transport-
ing me to the appropriate gates.
But here’s the thing: Traveling in a
wheelchair is humbling. I’m a person
who can strike up a conversation
with practically anyone: Princess
Anne, Eric Clapton, and Jennifer
Lawrence among them. And yet,
when I had to ask a stranger to open
the door of the handicap-accessible
restroom for me, I balked. Asking for
help is hard — as is navigating over
curbs, thresholds, and the other haz-
ards I never noticed when both of my
feet were working. As a result, I vow

to pay more attention to accessibility
when I travel, and in the articles I
write. For me, this is a temporary is-
sue — my ankle will eventually heel.
For many travelers, it’s a way of life.
Finally, back at Logan
International Airport . . .
Back in Boston, Logan Interna-
tional Airport came through for me
big time. After getting help with my
backpack from my charming seat-
mate (shout-out to Zach Grossack), I
was met at the jet bridge by an air-
port employee with a wheelchair.
(This service can be arranged ahead
of time, with a skycap or gate agent.)
My airport angel proceeded to wheel
me through the US Customs line (no
waiting), to baggage claim to collect
my bag, and then through a maze of
Terminal E hallways to an oversize
elevator designed for wheelchair-
bound travelers. She even wheeled
me into the parking garage, where
my husband and his car were wait-
ing. I regret that I didn’t catch her
name — blame fatigue and painkill-
ers — but she was great. If you ever
use this service at the airport, tip
well. “This is hard work,” she told
me.
For me, the fun was just begin-
ning. I’d see an orthopedic surgeon,
get a CT scan, and learn that my an-
kle was broken in two places, and
not in a good way. (There’s a good
way?) Bottom line: Surgery, physical
therapy, and 16 weeks of recovery
time.
I could really use a support sheep.
And, speaking of the Faroe Islands:
Can I get a do-over?

Even watching the Celtics win didn’t make
it fun to spend two weeks with my foot
propped up on a cheese-shaped chunk of
foam.
Hurt? Sick? What
would you do?
Here’s hoping you never get injured while
traveling. According to the people at Medjet
Assist (www.medjetassist.com), one in 30 trips
ends in a medical emergency, and more than
10 million travelers are hospitalized abroad
each year.
I’ve never used Medjet, but a jetsetting
friend (and former travel agent) swears by it.
How it works: As a member, if you become hos-
pitalized internationally or domestically, 150
miles or more from home, Medjet will arrange
medical transportation to a home-country hos-
pital of your choice for inpatient care. Member-
ship fees for their basic level of service range
from $99 for a short-term membership to $315
for an annual membership.
And then there’s travel insurance. I’ve pur-
chased it for far-flung journeys and visits to re-
mote locations, but didn’t do so for this (short-
ish, not that far from home) trip. I reached out
to Stan Sandberg, cofounder of www.TravelIn-
surance.com via email to see how travel insur-
ance might benefit a traveler who gets injured
away from home.
While US health insurance can differ greatly
between plans, “most US health insurance
plans have little to no coverage for travel out-
side of the US except in the case of medical
emergencies,” Sandberg explains. “For senior
travelers on Medicare, the answer is clear. Stan-
dard Medicare plans do not provide coverage
outside of the United States.”
Given that, he recommends travel insurance
with at least $50,000 worth of medical expense
coverage for international travelers. Plans with
coverage limits up to $250,000 are available.
Should domestic travelers consider travel
insurance with medical expense coverage? If
your plan limits you to in-network physicians,
it might be a good idea, since your network
may not be available out of state. A travel insur-
ance plan can fill that gap, according to Sand-
berg.
Travel insurance plans with medical ex-
pense coverage will cover accidental injuries
and illnesses. “But if the injury occurred during
what is considered an extreme sport or hazard-
ous activity, the coverage could be excluded un-
less an Extreme or Adventure Sports option
was purchased. Similarly, an injury occurring
as a result of extreme intoxication could be ex-
cluded as well,” Sandberg notes. Most plans al-
so include 24/7 global travel assistance.
If you get really hurt or sick overseas, your
first call, after calling the local 911 equivalent,
would be to your travel insurance plan’s assis-
tance service provider. “A representative will
help you navigate the foreign medical system in
a medical emergency,” Sandberg explains.

with the familiar cupola and
weathervane dotting the land-
scape. Usually, I would write
something like, “The past two
decades have been a rocky road
for Friendly’s,” but they no lon-
ger serve rocky road. How about
“Friendly’s presence is melting
faster than a cone of rum raisin
on an August afternoon”? Strike
that. They don’t sell rum raisin
either.
The closing of the Logan loca-
tion isn’t a surprise — it was
ranked 228 on a TripAdvisor list
of 229 places in Boston to get a
quick bite — but it stings be-
cause it’s the end of an era in
Boston. When the Logan Friend-
ly’s opened in April 2015 with a
splashy ceremony, then-Mayor
Marty Walsh was in attendance,
and then-Friendly’s CEO John
Maguire told the Globe that the
Terminal A location would en-
sure steady traffic for Friendly’s.
“The beauty of it is that there
will be 7 million people walking
right past our location,” Maguire
said. “It really is a prime loca-
tion.”
Maguire was right. People
did walk right past Friendly’s,
but not enough of them stopped.
As we’ve learned from Papa Gi-
no’s, Bertucci’s, Boston Market,
and Brigham’s, nostalgia does
not equal profit. Aside from a
few sentimental fools like my-
self, people eventually give up on
a place when the food, service,
and selection are not up to snuff.
Friendly’s, which began in
1935 as Friendly Ice Cream in
Springfield, was founded by
brothers Prestley and Curtis
Blake during the Great Depres-
sion with a loan of $547 from
their parents. According to
Prestley Blake’s 2011 biography,
“A Friendly Life,” the company
was approaching 600 restau-
rants and annual sales of $200
million by the late 1970s.
“If I had my way, I’d have
kept growing and growing until
we had 2,000 restaurants,” Blake
wrote. “I was sure I had the drive
and the ability to run a company
that size.”
Those were the years that
most of us who grew up in the
Northeast found ourselves at
Friendly’s enjoying crinkle fries,
square burgers served on toast,
and crispy Fishamajig sandwich-
es. When I was a teenager, the
Fribbles were flowing freely and
my friends and I gathered at
Friendly’s after going to the mov-
ies or the mall. When they
stopped serving peppermint
stick ice cream year round and
made it a seasonal flavor, I
launched a letter writing cam-
paign. How dare they restrict ac-
cess to peppermint stick and rel-
egate it to holiday Jubilee Roll
status?
The memories of all that
whipped cream and hot fudge
propelled me to the Friendly’s at
Terminal A. I chose to cling to
those fading vestiges rather than
follow the sad news of the res-
taurant’s decline. The Blake
brothers sold Friendly’s to Her-
shey in 1979 for $164 million.
That sale birthed the wondrous
era of the Reese’s Peanut Butter
Cup sundae and the mammoth
Reese’s Pieces sundae. Hershey
did well with Friendly’s. So well,
in fact, that in 1988, it sold the
chain of 850 restaurants to the
Tennessee Restaurant Company
for about $375 million.
The Tennessee Restaurant
Company officially changed the
name from Friendly to Friendly’s
and the company debuted on the
NASDAQ in 1997. But a series of
feuds, lawsuits, and a dust-up
between the Tennessee Restau-
rant Company and the Blake
brothers drove down stock pric-
es. By 2007, the chain was pur-
chased by Sun Capital Partners
Inc. for $337 million.
From there, Friendly’s faced a
steady string of losses and clo-
sures before finally declaring
bankruptcy in 2011. In 2019 the
grocery division of Friendly’s de-
clared bankruptcy, and the res-
taurant followed with another
round of bankruptcy in 2020.
The company has been passed

Across the US, motels are back in a big way
uMOTELS
Continued from Page N11
motel, which was built in 1959. Strad-
dling the German Village and Brewery
District neighborhoods, the property is
popular with young couples, visitors to
nearby Ohio State University, and “a lot
of hipsters,” Dempsey said. “It’s become
a destination of its own.”
Motels are back. Older travelers are
drawn to the nostalgia of them; younger
guests, to their colorful midcentury
modern vibe.
“They’re just fun,” said Ashley Wil-
son, an architect who specializes in his-
toric preservation and is an adviser to
the US Commission of Fine Arts. “It’s
such an irony. Motels were built to be
prototyped and boring, but now we’re
drawn to them.”
There are other things to recom-
mend motels. Often dating from before
the interstates, they’re woven into their
communities more closely than those
chain hotels beside the highway exits at
the edge of town. Instead of soulless in-
terior corridors, the doors to their guest
rooms open to the outside.
Mostly, however, they’re a welcome
change from the increasing conformity
of commerce and architecture, said An-
drew Alford, designer of the refurbished
retro-futuristic Americana Motor Hotel,
which opened last year on Route 66 in
Flagstaff, Ariz.
These days, “you could get teleport-
ed to some other city and open your
eyes and there’s the same Starbucks and
Olive Garden you just left. There’s a loss
of a sense of place,” said Alford, who al-
so served as chief creative officer of the
Graduate Hotels.
At motels like the Americana, the
color schemes “were really bright and
happy — turquoise and yellows,” com-
pared to “the beige-ing of the world
around us now,” he said. Travelers “are
craving that sort of exuberance. They’re
craving joy. They’re craving color. You
walk in and there’s nostalgia and things
that evoke these warm feelings.”
At the Americana, those things in-
clude carpets with swirling stripes and
spinning disco balls in each of the 89
rooms, a year-round heated pool, and a
yard with fire pits and hammocks.
Gathering places like that are a fea-
ture of motels that their newest owners
have leaned into. When Sam Calagione,
founder of Dogfish Head Brewing,
bought and refurbished a motel in
coastal Delaware that he renamed the
Dogfish Inn, he included an outdoor
seating area around a big fireplace
where he hosts periodic fireside chats.
“We wanted it to not be pretentious
or be ornate. We wanted people to walk
out the door of their rooms and look at
the harbor,” said Calagione, who grew
up in Greenfield.
That’s part of the appeal of Rhode’s
Motor Lodge, too, which opened in the
fall in the heart of Boone, N.C., after be-
ing converted from a long-neglected
Travelodge, with the slapped-on stucco
peeled away to reveal the original mid-
century design. Guests can walk out the
doors of their rooms to views of the sur-
rounding Blue Ridge Mountains, said
Christine McDonald, the chief operat-
ing officer of Loden Hospitality, which
developed the motel.
B o s t o n
“It’s an experience that you can’t get
somewhere else,” McDonald said. “It’s
very American.”
Built at the time when cars were
king, motels, motor inns, and motor
lodges were designed for people travel-
ing by car, with easy exterior access
from a parking lot.
“When I grew up, motels weren’t
something you romanticized,” said Al-
ford, 49. “They were the cheap option
for people who couldn’t afford to stay in
the hotels with the doors on the inside.”
Now, “name a fun city and there’s a
cool motel popping up,” said Lyon Por-
ter, cofounder of Urban Cowboy Hotels,
which has restored the 23-room Dive
Motel in Nashville into 23 rooms with
sunken tubs, shag comforters, retro fur-

niture, and some of the original tile pre-
served from when it was the Key Motel,
opened in the 1950s and a haunt of
Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and Hank
Williams. (“If these walls could talk,”
said Porter.)
As the interstates came through, mo-
tels “morphed and changed and people
found them seedy,” he said. “Now there’s
a whole new generation that thinks the
word ‘motel’ is fun and sexy.”
That generation also was exposed to
the concept of a motel on the series
“Schitt’s Creek.” And while the Rosebud
Motel was nothing like the newly re-
vamped and refurbished motels stocked
with high-threadcount sheets and fancy
soaps, it was locally owned and more
closely tied to its community than any
corporate hotel. Calagione has been
mulling the idea of hosting a “Schitt’s
Creek” weekend at his property; Mc-
Donald said she and her colleagues
j o k e d a b o u t s t a g i n g a S c h i tt ’s
Creek”-themed opening for hers.
Motels’ American-ness also appeals
to international visitors, said Amy
Webb, senior director of preservation
programs at the National Trust for His-
toric Preservation, who has worked on
efforts to save historic motels along
MARCH 24, 2024
Route 66.
“They see this as the ultimate Ameri-
can road trip, and staying in one of
those vintage motels is part of that,”
Webb said.
Many remained endangered, she
said, including some in the nation’s
largest single collection of them, the
Wildwoods section of the New Jersey
shore. More than 50 of the midcentury
motels there were demolished in the
early 2000s.
Kimberly Walker and her business
partners in Nomada Hotel Group, of
which she’s founder and managing
partner, have rescued several California
motels that were about to meet the
same fate, including the Skyview Los
Alamos, the Hotel Ynez in Santa Barba-
ra wine country, and the newly opened
River Lodge in Paso Robles, which had
been seized by the city and was slated to
be torn down.
“Our guests like history. They like
the quirks of old buildings and old spac-
es. And you can’t build history from the
ground up,” Walker said.
A $22 million project in Des Moines
is revisiting history, too. It’s a restora-
tion of a former Howard Johnson’s Mo-
tor Lodge, renamed MoLo and sched-
uled to open next year with the cross-
hatched orange roof and aqua-blue
spire that were once ubiquitous along
American highways after being spun off
from the restaurant chain that began in
Quincy.
Motels “are having more than a mo-
ment,” said Jake Christensen, the devel-
oper who decided to restore the motel
after staying at a renovated HoJo’s in
Scottsdale, Ariz.
They’ve become a pretty investment,
too, said Chase Hoover, who rebuilt the
dilapidated 22-room Grey Point Lodge
in Waynesboro, Va.
“The owners are getting older and a
bit more out of touch with modern mar-
keting strategies and can’t make it work
anymore,” said Hoover. “More often
than not when you find them they’re a
bit outdated, so there’s a little of bit of
sweat equity there. But once you do a re-
model, it’s modern, it’s clean, it’s high
design, and it’s what people in their 20s
want.”
There’s another benefit, he said:
“With a boutique motel, you feel like it’s
a very small-scale thing and the owners
put a lot more love into it. Because more
often than not, it’s not big corporations
that own these. It’s guys like me.”
Mahavir Patel grew up in the apart-
ment behind the front desk of the
Econolodge his parents owned. Now he
has rebuilt the Wayback, a midcentury
modern motel that opened in the fall in
Pigeon Forge, Tenn., complete with a
bar converted from an Airstream trailer.
For the past few decades, said Patel,
hotels have been “the same thing, done
the same way.” People still want the
same conveniences, he said. “What
we’re doing shows that you can really
have an unexpected experience.”
There is “a lot of sexiness and appeal
behind the revamping of these lodges,”
Patel said. “They bring you back to a dif-
ferent time in America.”

Knowing the Score
Jason Margolis wrote a
beautiful Perspective about
the love of the 49ers he
shares with his dad (“One
More Football Game With
Dad,” February 11). It made
me think about my relation-
ship with my father, and
how difficult it was for me
when he passed away.
Steve Jackson
The Villages, Florida
I enjoyed his story, and how
much joy he has with his
dad. Sports can transport
us into another world for
a while. My mom was the
sports fan in our family, and
baseball was her favorite.
Being a Red Sox fan could
be frustrating and also so
exciting for us. I will always
remember the 1999 All-Star
Game at Fenway. My mom
was so happy and smiled
and shouted like a teenager.
I mentioned to my brother
that she looked 20 years
younger when she was in
her element. She lived to see
them win the World Series
in 2004!

“To the non-sports fan, this
may sound silly, perhaps
even sad.” No. I believe for
the non-sports fan, they
would look on admirably
at the relationship built
through a love of one
team—perhaps a relation-
ship many do not have with
their parents and would
love to have—even just for
a moment. And I’m not sure
if it was the intention, but

My dad died when I was 11
in 1978, but I’ve been able to
share many of those types of
memories with my son (now
25) during Boston sports
championship runs (Sox
and Bruins in particular). I
think I can say with some
confidence that [Jason’s dad
is] aware of [his] joy, and
smiling in his own way.

How a Photo Lit the

Fire of Social Justice
BY TED LANDSMARK

H
ow does a photograph contribute to-
ward advancing social justice? How
does one assess the policy-making
impact of a powerful image?
Boston Herald American photog-
rapher Stanley Forman’s Pulitzer-winning photo
The Soiling of Old Glory is a definitive statement
of racism in America. Viewers are shocked to see
our national symbol of “liberty and justice for all”
being used as a weapon of racial hatred against
me. Making a public statement right after nearly
being killed by an American-flag-wielding dem-
onstrator steps away from City Hall in 1976 was,
in retrospect, easy for me to do.
I had been to the 1963 March on Washington, Ted Landsmark, a Black lawyer, was on his way to a meeting at City Hall on April 5, 1976, when he was attacked

By the time I moved to Boston as a young law-
yer and community activist in 1973, I was pre-

racism by offering forward-looking comments

cies, private businesses, and individuals could

Platforms for speaking thoughtfully about the

long-racist Boston—actors who benefited, and
continue to benefit, from pitting one working-

Point of Contact
I’M INTERESTED IN DATING AN
ONLINE CONNECTION. BUT HOW?
Q.
I do not have much experience
with long-term relationships, or
dating. I haven’t been bothered
enough to do much about it. I am old
enough to have been in high school and
college before smartphones and social me-
dia. I have downloaded some dating apps,
but never got into making active profiles.
Now to the main issue: There is some-
one I’m connected to online, and I think
there might be great potential for a rela-
tionship. But I don’t really know them and
am stuck about how to reach out further.
“Oh, I’ve looked through your profile and
posts, and we seem to match up on inter-
ests and values”? Seems kinda stalker-ish.
Ask for an in-person intro? We have some
mutual friends, but not people I know well
enough to ask. Show up to some events or
places they might be and hope to meet in
person? Sorta sketchy.
They seem to maybe be single and look-
ing, but it’s not clear.
Any good ideas/suggestions for non-
weird ways to reach out? Thanks.
– How to Reach Out?
A.
I assume your online connection
is not through a dating app—that
you found this person through
Instagram or something like it.
With that in mind, I see two ways to do
this. One is to send a message about one

STYLE WATCH
Learning Curve
A PROPERLY DRESSED BAY WINDOW ADDS POLISH
TO A PRIMARY BEDROOM IN THE SOUTH END.
BY MARNI ELYSE KATZ
B
ay windows are part and parcel of historic Boston neigh-
borhoods. Yet, not everybody knows how to navigate them.
“The biggest mistake with bay windows is breaking up the
hardware,” says Kristine Irving, principal Koo de Kir Architec-
tural Interiors. “We recommend a single curved rod to fill the
full bay, treating the whole window as a single unit to create a
cohesive focal point.” In this South End bedroom, Irving chose to
stop the rod a few inches before the end of the wall. “I wanted to
expose the architecture in order to further emphasize the curve of
the bay,” she says.
8 THE BOSTON GLOBE MAGAZINE
1 Preferring patterned rugs instead of solid
carpet for their grounding effect, Irving
opted for a two-toned neutral rug from
The Rug Company. “For a small room,
there’s a fair amount of pattern,” the de-
signer points out. Working within a limited,
unified palette helps maintain a sense of
calm, she says.
2 “I like pieces that aren’t tied to one room,”
Irving says in reference to the daybed.
“There are bay windows on each floor, so
this could move to the dining room if they
want to switch things up.”
3 Although Irving tends toward solid gab-
ardine or linen for drapery, these drapes are
cotton with a handprinted, imperfect stripe.
Blackout lining blocks the light and lends
heft. “The fabric needed weight so that the
pleats maintain structure,” she says.
4 Natural woven shades are sheer enough
to see through but still filter sunlight and
provide a bit of privacy.
5 Grass-cloth wallcovering adds textural
interest to the headboard area while the

other walls are painted in Farrow & Ball’s
Pointing, a warm white.
6 Chests with a hand-rubbed black finish
provide additional storage, fill the gaps on
either side of the bed, and tie to the sconces
and windows. “I try to use a color in three
places so the eye isn’t constantly readjust-
ing,” Irving says.

MISS CONDUCT
Lost Count
A STRUGGLE TO GET EVENT
RSVPS. AND, THE BABY SHOWER
BOOK TREND.
I organize a monthly lunch for 20 or so
friends. We are all in our 70s. I request an
RSVP to determine the head count for the
restaurant. Some people never respond,
even when I send reminders, though they’ve
attended in the past. Why is it so difficult
to send a simple response? My impulse is
to confront what I consider rude behavior
and/or delete them from future invitations.
However, this seems contrary to the goal of
comity inherent in our monthly gatherings.
Frustrated, I seek your advice.
M.C. / Newton
It just is that difficult to send a simple
response sometimes, whether it seems
like it should be or not, and unfortu-
nately, the RSVP situation is unlikely to
improve. Your friends aren’t trying to
make life harder for you; life has gotten
harder for them along with everyone
else. Communications fall between the
cracks, last-minute contingencies arise,
and people who plan events—from
international conferences to neighbor-
hood book clubs—need to factor that
annoying reality into those plans.
I applaud what you’re doing in
getting your group together regularly!
We need people like you who do things
like that, so very much. But you need
to simplify the monthly plans so that a
precise head count isn’t as necessary.
Instead of lunch, what about a morning
or afternoon coffee shop get-together?
UNSURE HOW TO NAVIGATE A NEW TREND? Miss Conduct can help! Write missconduct@globe.com.
You could even do it semimonthly. Or
you could gather in a food court, or out-
doors as the weather gets nicer, or have
potluck or takeout dinners at someone’s
home. Your friends want to be together;
the venue itself isn’t that important. I’m
sure they’d be more than willing to help
you brainstorm a better, easier way.
I have been invited to several baby showers
that ask guests to bring books instead
of cards. I am on a pretty tight budget
and would rather get them something
significant from their registries than spend
on books (which all seem to be $10-$15).
Usually, I make my own cards. I could deduct
the cost of the book from my gift budget,
but I’m afraid my gift will look skimpy. Or,
should I go without the book, and spend the
full amount I intended on the gift?
Anonymous / Boston
But you make your own cards! That
changes everything. The parents who re-
quest books aren’t trying to sneak in an-
other gift grab. People who dislike cards
generally see them as impersonal and
wasteful and yours are the very opposite
of that. I think it’s fine to continue as
you have been. If you do want to give a
book, used ones in good condition—e.g.,
not chewed—are fine for the “substitute
card” purpose. (And secondhand chil-
dren’s books not in good condition might
be entertaining collage material for your
cards—I do multimedia art and trawl
Little Free Libraries for such treasures all
the time.)

morgue of the storied in-
stitution—and he’d spend
the next 27 in the windowless, chemical-scented
space keeping company with corpses.
Over time, the role came to define Lodge’s
personality. On Facebook, he posted a picture of
himself dressed in a black top hat, wire-rimmed
glasses, and black overcoat, as if an undertaker in
a Dickens novel. At the home he shared with his
wife, Denise, in Goffstown, New Hampshire, they
parked two Subarus with vanity plates. One read
“DKSHDWS,” in homage to the gothic-horror
show from the 1960s. The other plate, the one
on the pumpkin-orange car Lodge drove to Har-
vard, read “GRIM-R,” identifying him as the grim
techniques. When that work was done, Harvard
trusted Lodge to deliver on a solemn promise to
families: to lay bodies finally and respectfully to
rest. After cremation, the ashes were returned
to relatives or buried in a private cemetery in
Tewksbury used by Harvard and other medical
schools.
Over Lodge’s nearly three decades in the
morgue at Harvard’s Longwood campus in Bos-
ton, thousands of medical students hurried
through the halls above. During his tenure, four
bespectacled, white-haired deans cycled through
offices in the building next door. The seasons
passed with the graduating classes, marked by
the changing shades of the manicured central

of the morgue and its macabre manager out of
their minds. Either way, no one noticed when
the heavyset, silver-goateed undertaker stopped
thinking solely of science and instead began see-
ing dollar signs.
“I have been looking for customers inter-
ested in purchasing some heavy body bags
and other miscellaneous medical toys,” Lodge
wrote in a 2013 post to an online group called
DeviantArt. He needed “a little cash to plan a
vacation,” he explained, adding an “LOL!” and
an invitation to swing by the morgue.
Eventually, the wares for sale changed from
body bags to stolen pieces of the corpses enclosed
within them, prosecutors say.

As a result, a busy marketplace for private col-
lectors has emerged. Brick-and-mortar stores
with human skulls and skeletons for sale dot the
country. The bulk of transactions, however, takes
place online, including on Reddit, Instagram,
and TikTok. Thousands of oddities collectors
flood Facebook, gathering in open groups that
sometimes carry trigger warnings.
“You will see dead animals and humans/babies
so if you are upset by those things this may not
be the group for you,” warn the administrators of
one group with more than 52,000 members.
Spooky art and animal remains are the pre-
dominant products for sale, but body parts are
often just a few clicks away. Since demand for
these outstrips supply, their prices are high.
A complete human skull can cost upward of
$2,000, a full skeleton more than three times
that. Femurs and vertebrae can sell for about
$100 to $300, depending on quantity and quality.
“When you’ve got a skull or skeleton or wet
specimen to show off, it’s kind of like, ‘Hey, I’ve
made it,’ ” says Kari Kay Rose, a collector based
in Minnesota who dabbles exclusively in animal-

By 2018, Lodge had allegedly transformed
the Harvard Medical School morgue into a sup-
ply depot of human body parts, a loading dock
for a grisly conveyor belt stretching from Massa-
chusetts to Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Ken-
tucky. Some days, Lodge loaded up his Suba-
ru with organs and skin and drove them home
to New Hampshire, where court records show
his wife packaged them in shipping boxes to
mail to buyers, who call themselves “oddities
collectors.” Other days, the collectors came to
Lodge — strolling empty-handed into Harvard’s
morgue, then out with the body parts they’d se-
lected.
This grisly business went unnoticed for at
least five years, until a woman in Pennsylvania
phoned a local detective in the summer of 2022.
She urged him to visit her husband’s basement
and peer into the contents of the Home Depot
buckets stored there. That tip would blow open
the doors to a dark but not-so-secret nationwide
network, leading investigators into the Harvard
morgue and a gruesome American market.
HE ALLEGEDLY
TRANSFORMED
THE MORGUE
INTO A SUPPLY
DEPOT OF
BODY PARTS.
IT IS SHOCKINGLY EASY to buy human remains
in the United States. That is in part because sell-
ing body parts is legal under federal law, with
rare exceptions. By contrast, human tissue and
organs viable for medical transplant are close-
ly monitored. But human bones and preserved
tive sergeant counted down the minutes of his
workday. Adam Shope was a veteran of the East
Pennsboro Township Police Department, one of
the highest-ranking members of the 21-officer
force. But he’d drawn the short straw on June 20,
2022, and was the go-to for any drama.
Shope’s boss was on the phone with a request:
Look into an odd complaint, that the resident
of a home in the Enola section of the township
might be selling human remains on Facebook.
Shope sighed, then lumbered out of his desk
chair and grabbed the keys to his cruiser.
This sleepy Pennsylvania region is famous
mostly for having a railyard and for sending a
couple of locals to Major League Baseball. Most
arrests are for driving under the influence. Once
in a while a guy refuses to pay his cab fare, or a
pair of AirPods goes missing from a locker at the
hospital.
The white duplex cited in the complaint sat
across from a sprawling cemetery. Shope parked
near the gravestones and knocked on the home’s
front door.

 Jeremy Lee Pauley answered. Black tattoos
covered half his face, from forehead to chin.
Metal spikes were embedded in the top of his
bald head. One eyeball was dyed jet black. Pau-
ley smiled, Shope recalls, to reveal two rows of
sharpened, silver teeth. The detective explained
he was investigating a report of possible human
remains.
Come on in, Pauley said, opening the door
wide and offering a tour of his home. Five human
skulls peered at Shope. The detective saw at least
50 human ribs and three skeletons. Shope scrib-
bled in his notepad: “over 7 glass jars containing
human infant remains.”
Pauley seemed unruffled by the visit, the de-
tective recalls. Proud, even. He dutifully an-
swered questions about his collection. On his
website, Pauley describes himself as a preserva-
tion specialist “of retired medical specimens”
and curator of historic remains. The Enola home
doubled as his Memento Mori Museum, “a place
where lost histories are regained and respectfully
displayed.” Shope was struck by how accommo-
dating Pauley was. “Nice as pie,” he recalls.
18 THE BOSTON GLOBE MAGAZINE
Shope later called his superiors, as well as con-
sulted federal officials. Based on the presumed
old age of the specimens, they’d conclude the col-
lection was legally obtained. “During the course
of the interview,” Shope wrote in his report, “it
was determined that these items were lawfully
purchased from medical facilities and museums.”
After Shope’s visit, Pauley contacted one of
his business partners, a tattoo artist in Minne-
sota named Mathew Lampi. Over the last cou-
ple of years, the two had exchanged more than
$130,000 in payments, according to documents
filed in court.
“Hello so what did the police say,” Lampi in-
quired over WhatsApp.
The detective had asked about human re-
mains, Pauley replied, but “in the end the only
thing that mattered was nothing was proven
grave robbed or stolen out of a morgue.” He
punctuated his message with a smiley face emoji.
But about three weeks later, Shope received
another call. A woman introduced herself as Pau-
ley’s estranged wife. She encouraged him to re-
turn to the home, making sure to visit the base-
ment this time. Pauley
hadn’t included that space
in his tour. Shope secured
a search warrant and drove
to the house beside the
graveyard once more.
Pauley wasn’t there. But
his wife led Shope and oth-
er officers down into the
unfinished basement. The
scene, as described in court
documents, was out of a
house of horrors.
Human eyeballs rested
in a plastic bag on the
floor. An expanse of hu-
man skin, tanned like
leather, was draped over
the back of a chair. When
they opened the lids of
three orange Home Depot
buckets, a shocking inven-
tory of body parts floated
within—two kidneys,
lungs, a heart, a spleen,

a trachea. There were two brains, a skull with
hair attached, and a child-sized jawbone with
the teeth still in place.
A portrait of Jesus leaned against a cardboard
box, as if surveying the scene. The shipping labels
on that box and others began to outline the vast
extent of a grisly network.
THE CONTENTS OF THOSE BUCKETS sparked
a sweeping investigation that would lead to
the federal indictment of seven people across
five states, and finally compel Harvard Medical
School to take a hard look at Cedric Lodge, its
longtime employee. The evidence collected by lo-
cal police, the FBI, the US Postal Inspection Ser-
vice, and others is laid out in a series of allega-
tions filed in court documents.
According to court records, one frequent cus-
tomer for the body parts Lodge stole from the
morgue was Joshua Taylor, a Pennsylvania man
in his mid-40s. Between 2018 and 2021, Taylor
made 39 online payments to an account con-
trolled by Denise Lodge, Cedric’s wife, total-
ing more than $37,000. Sometimes, he typed a
memo — such as $1,000 for “head number 7” and
$200 for “braiiiiiins.”
At some point, records show, another buyer
emerged: Katrina Maclean, the fortysomething
operator of a store called Kat’s Creepy Creations,
P H O T O G R A P H S : PA U L E Y F R O M J E R E M Y L E E PA U L E Y V I A FA C E B O O K ; M A C L E A N B Y J O H N B L A N D I N G / G L O B E S TA F F ; I L L U S T R AT I O N B Y H O K Y O U N G K I M
located inside a former leather mill in Peabody,
Massachusetts. Maclean had been active in Sa-
lem’s thriving oddities scene since 2018, selling
porcelain dolls she painted and dressed in night-
marish ways —“creations that shock the mind &
shake the soul,” as she wrote online.
By 2020, Maclean had started to incorporate
human remains into her art. In February of that
year, she posted a picture on Instagram of a doll
holding a skull. “This doll has been sold and yes
that is a real human skull,” she wrote. “If you’re
in the market for human bones hit me up!”
Some months later, according to court records,
Maclean was agreeing to pay Cedric Lodge $600
for two dissected faces.
Prosecutors allege Lodge invited both Maclean
and Taylor to visit the morgue at Harvard, so
they could look over cadavers and decide what to
purchase. Sometimes they left that day with body
parts; other times, Lodge brought them home for
his wife to send by mail.
Once in possession of their purchases,
Maclean and Taylor would often strike deals
with Jeremy Lee Pauley. Court records show
Pauley sent Maclean $8,800 over time, and
Taylor more than $40,000.
In the summer of 2021, Maclean asked Pauley
to tan a piece of human skin into leather, accord-
ing to court records. When he mailed back the
finished product, they agreed she’d send more
skin in lieu of payment. So Maclean sent a mes-
sage to Lodge, asking if he had more available,
 “I FOLLOW YOUR
PAGE AND WORK
AND LOVE IT,” THE
MESSAGE BEGAN.
for “the dude I sent the chest piece to tan.” Lodge
agreed to see what he could find in the morgue.
Maclean eventually did ship more skin to Pau-
ley, though soon appeared to get nervous it had
been intercepted by authorities. “[W]anted to
make sure it got to you,” she messaged, “and I
don’t expect agents at my door.”
Pauley appeared less worried, perhaps because
of his experience in the body parts business. He
did not respond to multiple inquiries from the
Globe, but a friend of his suggested he was fre-
quently contacted by sellers. “He regularly makes
large, bulk purchases from collectors, so for him,
it wasn’t unusual to be contacted about a medical
collection that’s being retired,” says fellow oddi-
ties seller Kymberlee Schopper.
Another stranger contacted Pauley online with
an offer in the fall of 2021, around the same time
Taylor and Maclean were selling him body parts.
Candace Chapman Scott was an employee of a
trade mortuary in Arkansas, she explained. It
embalmed and cremated cadavers for the Univer-
sity of Arkansas medical school, funeral homes,
and other clients.
“I follow your page and work and LOVE it,”
Scott began. “Just out of curiosity, would you
know anyone in the market for a fully in tact
[sic], embalmed brain?”
Pauley, himself, was very interested. He taught
her how to package body parts for
mailing.
Over the next year or so the two
corresponded frequently, with Scott
writing Pauley after new cadavers
arrived at the mortuary, prosecu-
tors say. One day in December, she
listed the parts she had for sale: “2
brains, one with skullcap, 3 hearts
one cut, 2 fake boobies, one large
belly button piece of skin, one
arm, one huge piece of skin, and
one lung.” In all, Pauley would buy
more than 50 body parts from her.
With so many packages be-
ing shipped across the country,
they sometimes ran into logisti-
cal problems. At one point, Scott
complained that her local Walmart
and dollar store had run out of ice
packs. She and Pauley also periodi-
cally griped about problems with the US mail.
“[P]ost offices said they’ve been super behind
lately,” she responded to one of his inquiries.
She’d mailed the package priority, but admit-
ted she couldn’t remember exactly on what day:
“Monday? Tuesday? Hell I don’t know they all
run together and I lost the damn receipt.”
THE LETTERS TO NEXT OF KIN from Harvard
Medical School arrived in June 2023. Families
of people who had donated their bodies to sci-
ence found a message about the alleged body
parts sales signed by two Harvard deans. They
wrote they were “profoundly saddened to report
the indictment and arrest of Cedric Lodge, a for-
mer HMS employee, for the unlawful interstate
transport of stolen human remains.” The deans
admitted there were many instances where the
school could not rule out the possibility that
their loved one’s remains may have been sold.
Harvard will likely never be able to give fami-
lies definitive answers. Tracing stolen body
parts back to donors can be an insurmountable
challenge for investigators—DNA evidence is
destroyed by the processes of embalming and
cremation. Meanwhile, private collectors rarely
know information about where their specimens
come from, or may not volunteer it if they do.
But in at least one instance, investigators seem
to have linked remains directly to a victim. They
lay out the order of events in court documents.
In February 2022, a mother in Arkansas gave
birth to a stillborn boy she named Lux. When
his body was sent to the mortuary for cremation,
Scott took notice.
She immediately wrote to
Pauley to see if he’d be interest-
ed in the remains. She was ask-
ing $300, she wrote on Facebook
Messenger, because “he’s not in
great shape.”
Pauley agreed to the sale and,
after receiving the body in the
mail, turned to Mathew Lampi
in Minnesota and worked out a
deal: Pauley would mail him Lux’s
body as well as $1,550. In return,
Lampi would send Pauley five hu-
man skulls.
As for Lux’s mother in Arkan-
sas, she received ashes purporting
to be of Lux—mortuary records
said as much. But she was given
instead what investigators called
remains “of unknown origin.”

THE WAVE OF federal indictments broadened
a divide in the oddities community: Those who
wanted to know more about where human re-
mains came from, and those who preferred
not to.
Michelle Cozzaglio found herself in the first
camp. She and her husband cofounded the Oddi-
ties & Curiosities Expo, one of the major traveling
oddities markets in the country.
Up until 2022, they allowed vendors to sell hu-
man specimens. But with the indictments came
a reckoning, she explains, that forced her to con-
front a thorny ethical question: How do I know
that these bones don’t belong to one of the cadav-
ers stolen from the Harvard morgue? She couldn’t
know, she decided. No one really could.
The success of Cozzaglio’s expo speaks to the
size of the oddities community in America. The
first event took place seven years ago in a Tulsa,
Oklahoma, VFW hall and involved just 30 ven-
dors selling a mix of morbid art, moss-filled shad-
ow boxes, taxidermy, and bones. It’s now a huge
traveling exhibition, slated to make stops in 31
cities across America this year. Last year, it vis-
ited Australia for a month.
An expo in Louisville, Kentucky, this February
sold more than 18,000 tickets. It took place in
the city’s expo center, sandwiched between halls
hosting a high school wrestling tournament and
a home and garden show. People waltzed about
in Renaissance garb, and displayed holstered pis-

between the obscure
and bizarre, and—in
one vendor’s words—the “shady as hell.”
Maclean used to run an oddities market in
Salem, and on a podcast once described how it
was a turning point in her evolution as an art-
ist. “Doing the oddities market, I started to have
access to all this other [expletive] that I didn’t
know I could [have] access to, like bones and
stuff,” she said. “So I kind of branched out and
started making skull plaques and, you know,
just creepy, cool stuff.”
Maclean recorded that interview in 2021, the
year court documents say she connected with
Cedric Lodge at Harvard Medical School.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY for Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, has been practicing law for
34 years. Yet when Pauley’s case landed on his
desk, he couldn’t quite believe his eyes. “Very few
things completely surprise me anymore, but this
was out there,” Sean McCormack says. “My first
thought was that all this stuff has to be illegal.
But then we started digging and discovered there
is a very legal aspect to this world.”
To understand what is legal, it’s simpler to
start with what is not. First, it’s illegal to own or
sell the remains of Indigenous persons, except by
descendants and ancestral tribes. Second, it’s ille-
gal to own or sell human organs and tissue viable
for medical transplant. The latter is governed by
the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, a constantly
evolving piece of legislation meant to regulate an-
atomical donation.
Sheldon Kurtz, a University of Iowa law pro-
fessor, coauthored the latest version of the leg-
islation in 2006, and at the time was unaware
of oddities collectors. “This is so far afield from
anything we even considered when writing this
bill,” says Kurtz, who led the drafting committee.
“When we talked about research, we were talking
about medical research, not personal collections.
It wasn’t even a conversation we ever had. It is
shocking to consider that we should have.”
Most states have laws that should theoreti-
cally prevent the sale of human remains, yet ex-
perts say enforcement is rare, in part because
the language is confusing and vague. But oddi-
ties collectors seem to avoid doing business in
the three states where it is clearly illegal: Loui-
siana, Georgia, and Tennessee. Getting Louisi-
ana’s ban on the books took a scandal collectors
call “Boneghazi,” wherein a self-proclaimed witch
robbed a New Orleans cemetery and boasted
about it online.
The gray areas between what’s legal and what
isn’t, what’s ethical and what’s not, characterize
the trade of body parts in America. Ultimately,
there is more regulation surrounding the han-
dling of dead birds here than there is for dead
humans. Just collecting a feather of one of some
1,100 birds is off-limits, but owning any number
of human skulls is not.
Last July, federal agents raided the Kentucky
home of James Nott, a bearded, reclusive 40-year-
old. They suspected it might be another node in
the nationwide network exposed by the investiga-
tion into Lodge, Pauley, and the others.
Nott and Pauley had talked business through
Facebook, prosecutors say, where Nott went by
“William Burke,” the name of an Irish serial killer
from the 1800s who sold his victims’ corpses to a
school of human anatomy. When Nott opened his
door, the agents asked if anyone else was home.
“Only my dead friends,” he replied.
As agents searched Nott’s home, they saw hu-
man skulls decorating the furniture. They count-
ed some 40 skulls, spinal columns, femurs, and
hip bones. One skull was wrapped in a colorful
headscarf. Another lay on the mattress where
Nott slept, as if in a tableau plucked from Wil-
liam Faulkner’s short story “A Rose for Emily.”
Agents also discovered a medical bag, labeled
property of Harvard Medical School.
Nott was not arrested for anything related to
the skulls and skeletons. As a felon, convicted in
2011 for “possession of a firearm by an unlaw-
ful user of marijuana,” he had been banned from
owning guns. And among his bones, investigators
also found an AK-47. He pleaded guilty in No-
vember to a gun possession charge.
HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL fired Cedric
Lodge on May, 6, 2023, marking an end to his 27
years as morgue manager.
The families of the donors whose bodies were
potentially victimized by the scheme have filed
an array of civil lawsuits against him, as well as
Harvard. In February, however, a Suffolk County
Superior Court judge sided with the school, rul-
ing that it was not legally responsible for the al-
leged conduct of its former employee. The fami-
lies’ lawyers have promised an appeal.
A Harvard spokesperson declined an inter-
view request, citing ongoing litigation. She said
Lodge’s “abhorrent” alleged actions “violated the
reverence that Harvard, our anatomical donors,
and their loved ones expect and deserve. We reaf-
firm our deep sorrow for the uncertainty and dis-
tress that families face as the criminal proceed-
ings continue.”
Harvard also declined to provide a tour of the
morgue as it is today, after an internal review
called for the installation of security cameras and
additional measures. “For security reasons,” the
spokesperson explained, “the anatomy lab and
the morgue are only open on a need-to-access ba-
sis (trainees and teachers, personnel, certain re-
searchers) and are off limit for anyone else.”
The criminal cases remain ongoing in federal
court. As of press time, three of the defendants—
Jeremy Lee Pauley,
Denise Lodge, and
Mathew Lampi —
had pleaded guilty
to their roles in the
scheme and were
awaiting sentencing.
The rest —Cedric
Lodge, Katrina Ma-
clean, Candace Chap-
man Scott, and Josh-
ua Taylor—maintain
their innocence and
await trials.

Each is charged with interstate transport
of stolen goods and conspiracy to defraud the
United States. Scott, the Arkansas mortuary
worker, faces additional charges of mail and
wire fraud. In Pennsylvania, Pauley faced state
charges, including abuse of a corpse, and was
sentenced in March to two years of probation.
Everyone charged has declined to speak to
the media about the operation, both individu-
ally and through their lawyers. But Pauley is
prominent and active on Facebook. Some in the
oddities community have shunned him, but oth-
ers have appeared to grow more loyal.
“You are highlighting Pauley because his ap-
pearance makes for a good ‘boogyman’ thumb-
nail,” wrote one ally, in response to an inqui-
ry from the Globe. “If he had any major role in
this case, he would be in prison; and he is not.”
(He faces up to 15 years in prison in the federal
case.)
The specter of Pauley’s sentencing apparently
hasn’t slowed his sales operations online, either.
“It’s almost like he’s just poking the bear because
he can,” says Kari Kay Rose, the Minnesota col-
lector who left all online groups where Pauley
is still a member. “Because he knows, as things
stand, there’s little that can be done to him.”
In April 2023, long after Detective Shope
entered Pauley’s basement and kicked off this
sprawling investigation, Pauley posted a listing
on his site for more than two dozen candles. He
said he made them from human tallow.
“Worked until the sun came up and then all
afternoon, but finally done!” he wrote.
The candles were selling quickly, he noted,
and his inventory would be gone within days. A
second batch soon
sold out, too.
Neither Detec-
tive Shope nor Dis-
trict Attorney Sean
McCormack was
aware that he was
back to selling. They
weren’t surprised,
but seemed resigned
to the fact that the
lack of effective leg-
islation meant there
wasn’t much they
could do about it.
Still, Shope had to
wonder. Where the
hell does a person get
human tallow? ª

end of the line sound-
ed strange. I was in the
emergency room at Ports-
mouth Regional Hospi-
tal. It was the evening of
March 25, 2017, and my
father had just died of
heart failure.
My dad, Vincent Harzewski, had endured an
epic medical battle: four heart attacks, two types
of cancer, an above-the-knee leg amputation, to-
tal renal failure. He was legally blind in one eye,
close to it in the other, and his chronic gastroin-
testinal bleeds necessitated many, many infu-
sions. He wanted to donate his body to science
when he died, in a gesture of gratitude for the
doctors and nurses who had kept him alive for
so long.
There in the ER, with the doctor, I dialed
Harvard Medical School’s Anatomical Gift Pro-
gram. I remember the call was quick—I’ve spent
more time ordering takeout—and oddly infor-
mal. I don’t know what I expected—an “I’m very
sorry for your loss,” maybe, or a “thank you.” But
I put it out of my mind. My dad had completed

I didn’t have a backup plan. This was what my

conduct of its former employee, whose conduct
school officials have called “an abhorrent betray-
al.” We plan to appeal.
In most cases, it seems impossible to know
whose bodies, precisely, were trafficked and how.
As family members of donors, our loved ones
were potential victims, and this is part of what
is so agonizing to us: We do not know and may
never know if our departed was spared. And be-
cause of that, it is psychologically inevitable that
we have to ponder the possible scenario that they
were mutilated and sold piecemeal.
It will be a long time before I can look at a pic-
ture of my father—unquestionably my number
one man for my first 43 years—and not wonder,
What became of his head, with the silky gray hair
he never bothered to get cut? I ask myself, Was his
Herculean right hand sold? The hand that built a
dollhouse complete with furniture, a playhouse
with a Dutch door, and also mended socks and
dresses for me and my sister?
What became of his heart? I used to curl up
against the warmth of my father’s chest while he
taught me to sound out words. In this grim mar-
ket, what constitutes a hot commodity? Ghoul-
ishness? Rarity? Aberration? Would my father’s
tattoos be attractive to collectors?
In reading a Department of Justice indict-
ment containing online messages of transactions,
a description of a large piece of chest skin that
had been tanned to leather stood out. Was this
his chest? Would the doves on each breast, and
the burn marks from defibrillation by two medi-
cal teams that tried to save his life, be coveted by
these collectors? I will never know—and I can
never unknow the possibility.
I recall watching news related to the scandal,
specifically, the FBI’s findings during a raid in
the home of James Nott, the Kentucky man who
went by the serial killer name and exchanged on-
line messages with one of Lodge’s buyers. Nott
was not arrested for involvement in this ring, but
instead on charges of possession of a firearm by a
convicted felon. Nevertheless, court records show
authorities found some 40 human skulls, spinal
columns, femurs, and hip bones. He decorated
his home with skulls, with one on his bed.
I looked through the images of the skulls. I
can rule out those with teeth, I thought. My father
had dentures.
But quickly, I saw the pointlessness of this at-
tempt at certitude. It felt like the best way I could
determine if he was safe, but this was the last
thing my father would have wanted me to spend
my time doing.
What I need to work on is not letting imag-
es of bodily corruption further metastasize my
memories. Instead, I try to think of my father
alive, intact. It’s a cliché to say in remembering
my father, it’s the little things that help me recall
our bond. But it’s true.
What brings me joy now are memories that, at
the time, I found fairly mundane: when I was on
break from grad school and he walked into my
childhood bedroom on a weekday afternoon with
a platter of pigs in a blanket; his ritual of video-
taping Dancing with the Stars, then editing out
the commercials for me; him offering to pick me
up from the nail salon after a pedicure so I didn’t
have to walk home in flip-flops.
Once, when I was maybe 10, I let my pet
hamster Rudolph out of his cage to explore my
bedroom. He slipped through a hole under a
baseboard, and from there into the walls of the
old house that had once been my grandmoth-
er’s. After three days of searching, my dad still
wouldn’t give up—one of his favorite sayings
was “nothing beats a failure but a try.”
As a final shot, he decided to cut out a 5-inch-
square hole in the wall of the kitchen. And there
was my hamster, magically exactly there, as if
waiting for us. Rudolph was visibly dehydrated
and had a broken back leg, but my dad had saved
him.
MY FATHER DIED ON MARCH 25, 2017. To me,
he became undead on June 15, 2023, the day I
read that letter from Harvard. The reality of what
happened to him—what could have happened to
him—is never far away, a potent force waiting to
rewrite my memories.
Like grief, triggers can crop up unexpectedly,
and in the most quotidian contexts. This hap-
pened when I attended a steampunk-themed fair
in Kennebunk, Maine, where one of the vendors
Vincent Harzewski in
Bermuda in 1968.
was selling imitation skulls. It happened at a root
touch-up at a beauty school, where the students
use mannequin “practice heads.” It happened
walking into town one morning, when I paused
at the Halloween decorations of a neighbor: a
faux gravestone with the epitaph “Rest in Pieces.”
I still have trouble looking at pictures of my
father. The ones of him as a boy, black and white
photos, seem unaffected, but those toward the
end of his life feel poisoned. Nobody should be
afraid or made anxious from looking at a photo
of a parent that for years was a testament to their
love. The unholy acts of the alleged smuggling
ring altered the energy of these photographs for
my family, and by extension, tainted our homes
and hearts.
We do, at least in theory, have his ashes. Do-
nor bodies, after they are studied by researchers
or medical students, are usually cremated; we
asked for the ashes to be returned to our fam-
ily. My sister and I are not sure what to do with
them. There is a possibility they are not him in
the first place. And there’s no way to find out for
sure: My sister, an experienced medical librarian,
knows his DNA would not have survived the heat
of cremation. Like so much else, the ashes are
caught in a purgatory of uncertainty.
Last Christmas, when visiting my mother, I
confronted the Priority Mail container that en-
closed the receptacle of ashes. For weeks prior
to my visit, I visualized approaching The Box,
walking slowly, cautiously, like the first time I
removed the body of a rat from my old condo’s
basement, prodding it with a shovel to make sure
it was unequivocally dead.
In the end, I walked into my mother’s spare
bedroom and realized that I was giving this
shipping box, like that rat, way more power than
it had. My father was not coming back. Nor was
he contained within this cube of cardboard. His
life was so much bigger than a medium-size box
labeled USPS Priority Mail.
It’s hard to reconcile the recent judgment of
Harvard’s legal immunity with the overwhelming
evidence that, for years, an employee allegedly
used its morgue as a black-market butcher shop.
The donor bodies affected have not been laid to
rest. They circulate in a nether region, in a limbo:
alive to collectors in the circuit of post-mortem
commodities, but to their families, always out of
reach.
For some people, I hope, the passage of time
will mitigate the horror at the corruption of body
and memory. For others, we may have to wait un-
til we, too, cross over to meet our angels again,
where they are light and whole. ª

Mother of the Bride

BY BETTY MORNINGSTAR

L
ike all nice Jewish girls of my era, I was
supposed to marry a doctor or lawyer,
have a fancy wedding orchestrated by my
mother, then entertain my husband’s col-
leagues and send my kids to the best schools. In-
stead, decades later when Massachusetts became
the first state to legalize same-sex marriage, my
partner and I stood in line at City Hall, among
the first in the nation to apply for a marriage
license as a lesbian couple.
Several years prior, upon announcing our
plans for a commitment ceremony, both my
parents argued, “Must you? Can’t you just invite
your people and leave our family and friends out
of it?” Those people were my friends and family
too. So, no. Maybe she was just being polite. Or perhaps she ness one of life’s greatest moments....”
I somehow managed to live with the fact that noticed the excited chatter among her friends In addition to the requisite prayers and vows,
my parents loved me but didn’t unconditionally who had always embraced our commitment. And the rabbi opined on the historic significance of

approve of me. Our phone calls became stilted.
Neither asked how the plans were going or how
they could help. I never suspected Mom was
warming to the whole idea. Her sister, however,
mentioned that Mom had enjoyed their joint
shopping trip to find “commitment ceremony”
outfits.
I hoped my mother would come around when
she saw the depth of the commitment my partner
and I had made. But she never expressed deep
feelings. I knew she wanted me to be happy,
though, and admittedly, until then, I had failed at
that task.
My partner and I knew Mom would appreci-
ate the setting because we emulated her elegant,
understated style: We hired one of the best cater-
ers around, decorated the tables with simple
bouquets of roses and baby’s breath, and enlisted
our son, niece, and nephew as flower children
and ring bearers.
But even before the big evening, Mom must
have evolved in a way I couldn’t have predicted.
it could have been Mom’s attempt to compensate
for my father’s overt displeasure about the whole
matter. At least one of them had to step up.
Whatever the catalyst, Mom arrived at the
venue glowing. She immediately expressed de-
light that she and I were both wearing celadon.
Later, Mom gave a toast that began: “I’ve never
seen such a love fest.” And throughout the eve-
ning she flitted about the space like this was a
normal night for her. Her exit line to me was this
surprisingly insightful comment: “I didn’t know
that I didn’t know you.”
The wedding took place eight years later. By
then, my father had died. Though it was a small
gathering, a buzz overtook our otherwise sedate
synagogue. Temple staff fought for the empty
seats. A string quartet played Bach as people
assembled. The wedding canopy was held up
by poles covered with white tea roses, lending a
mildly sweet fragrance to the sunlit room.
Suddenly, there was a hush. And the rabbi
began the ceremony. “We’re gathered here to wit-
P H O T O G R A P H S F R O M A D O B E S T O C K ; I L L U S T R AT I O N B Y S H A R O N C H E N / G L O B E S TA F F
the event. When he got to the end where they
say, “I now pronounce you...” he paused, beam-
ing, and then said, “MARRIED.” Unbridled joy
broke out in the chapel. To our surprise, the
gentile members of the string quartet burst forth
with strains of a traditional Hebrew wedding
song that hadn’t been on the play list.
When we all walked across the hall for a re-
ception of bagels and lox, my 85-year-old mother
kvelled. “I’ve never seen anything like this. I’d
march in the gay pride parade if I didn’t have
to use a walker.” To be sure I’d heard right, I
grabbed my brother, sister-in-law, and wife and
had Mom repeat what she’d said. Each of us
paused to let her astonishing comment sink in.
Four years later, along with her many accom-
plishments, that quote appeared in Mom’s obitu-
ary in The Boston Globe. So I know she’ll never be
able to take it back.
