总统据称藏身餐饮集装箱换乘飞机

本文作者：玛吉·希克曼、埃琳·施密特、朱利安·埃姆斯-扬

北约峰会在土耳其结束后的昨晚，美国采取了超乎寻常的行动。空军一号在众目睽睽下起飞前往英国，机上记者被要求关闭舷窗。

他们被告知总统一如既往地与他们同行。但他并不在飞机上。

两名美国官员周一透露，政府策划了一场精心设计的行动，利用餐饮集装箱和一架军用飞机将特朗普总统秘密转移出土耳其，原因是伊朗针对总统及空军一号发出了威胁。特朗普抵达英国后，又被重新转移回空军一号。目击者看到他走下——

在土耳其的空军一号被用作北约峰会后的诱饵。

特朗普总统离开空军一号，改乘一架波音747的军用改装机型前往英国。随后，他在空军一号降落后重新登机，如上图所示。

机上的记者以为他一直在飞机上。该计划似乎是在数小时内制定的，官员们认定伊朗针对特朗普的威胁可信。此前伊朗多次威胁特朗普，而他发动的对伊战争也正在进行，此次行动是对公众隐瞒总统行踪的罕见举措。

官员们此前从未承认特朗普并不在其宣称的位置。此次行动的部分细节已被《华盛顿邮报》提前披露，该报报道了总统从土耳其前往英国时乘坐的飞机——一架波音747的军用改装机型。

另一架空军一号上的记者并未被告知特朗普未与他们同机从土耳其飞往英国，这使他们—。

基地拦截弹供应不足

面对导弹和无人机袭击浪潮

作者：埃里克·孔斯蒂（ERIC KUNSTY）与海伦·库珀（HELLEN COOPER）

华盛顿——上月，在持续五分钟的袭击中，伊朗向驻约旦的三个美军基地发射了多波次无人机和导弹，试图突破美国强大的空中防御系统。

伊朗使用能够突然改变航向的先进导弹，猛烈攻击重型防御系统，迫使美军消耗更近的巴黎拦截弹储备。

第16天，伊朗人突破了防线。

7月31日，一枚导弹击中其中一个基地的预定承重设施，造成3名美国士兵死亡，逾100人受伤。事后官员承认，其他袭击浪潮造成更多士兵受伤，数架飞机在首次实战测试中受损。

“我们还知道几乎所有导弹都避开了它们。当被问及数千枚导弹时，相关表述出现混乱。”

这些袭击暴露了两个致命弱点。首先，伊朗已成为更熟练的空中火力战执行者，其行动在中东地区保持压力，并在相关事件后加剧了局势紧张。

其次，美国拦截弹供应不足，基地防御能力受限，每天都面临着日益严峻的海外冲突压力。

这两大趋势加速了一个在战争爆发数月后逐渐显现的事实：一个拥有强大军事力量的全球超级大国，仍可能被一个甘愿采取非常规战争手段以获取任何优势的较弱对手所牵制。

据两名要求匿名讨论敏感军事细节的知情人士透露，美国已在战争中使用了超过1,500枚巴黎拦截弹，目前剩余拦截弹不足1,500枚。美国在2025年全年预计仅生产约600枚拦截弹。

伊朗部队的快速升级让人联想到乌克兰的另一场战争。近期乌克兰防空系统面临弹道导弹和巡航导弹的组合攻击时，拦截弹同样捉襟见肘。

“当导弹和无人机同时来袭时，伊朗人让防空变得更加困难，”战略与国际研究中心防务与安全部门主席马克·L·琼斯表示。

“他们有效地利用了这一优势，”他说，“这使得在海湾地区的多个地点进行防御变得更加困难。”

在上个月那一周的某一天，驻中东美军发射了约50枚巴黎拦截弹，可能导致未来类似情况的进一步发生。

美国继续面临严峻威胁，尽管它试图淡化这一问题，在

芝加哥教皇 是天赐之福

作者：TANSA GANGELI

芝加哥电 —— 历史上的今天（1912年5月9日），芝加哥白袜队主场及市场高级总监迈克·唐尼（Mike Downey）在工作间隙，偶然瞥见走廊电视屏幕上播放的一则新闻：梵蒂冈大厅终于选出了一位新教皇。作为终身天主教徒的唐尼，立刻查看社交媒体了解更多细节。

这位新教皇是美国人，这是教会历史上的首次。唐尼心想，这可真有意思。

这位教皇来自芝加哥。怎么会这样？

哦，他来自芝加哥南部的一个郊区。

我认识他吗？唐尼立刻想到。

有消息称，这位教皇是芝加哥小熊队的球迷，而小熊队与白袜队同处北区。小熊队迅速在其经理的社交媒体上宣布了这一消息（“Very Chicago！他是小熊队球迷！”），并发布了一张照片。

白袜队办公室里，员工和高管们纷纷感叹运气不佳。北区的小熊队球迷？这算什么事？

然而，突然间，教皇的兄弟古尔德先生（Mr. Gould）——利奥十四世（Pope Leo XIV），即前罗伯特·普雷沃斯特（Robert Prevost）——出来澄清，自己其实是白袜队的球迷。

唐尼——这位有着典型芝加哥人性格、愿意花钱观看心爱的白袜队比赛的人——立刻意识到眼前的机遇。

他清楚地记得自己当时的第一反应：我的天哪。

奥卡西奥-科尔特斯推动讨论冻卵问题

作者：RILEY MAYER 及ANSWORA SHAPTOVILLE

八年前，梅格·奎因（Meg Quinn）决定不公开一项重大决定的细节。

当时她37岁，刚结束一段长期恋情，开始感到恐慌。她是否快要失去生育孩子的机会？鼓起勇气后，她决定采取一项当时看来可能有助于提高成为母亲几率的措施。

她冻存了自己的卵子。 “当时很难启齿，”现年45岁的奎因周一在洛杉矶的家中接受采访时说，“结果可能完全不同。比如，你可能花了这么多钱，却一无所获。”

议员的自曝 揭示女性困境

就在众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（29岁）上周末宣布将冻存卵子，并在Instagram上发布了一段视频——视频中她在电视采访前为自己打气——奎因被她的坦率所打动。

“我就是喜欢她让这件事变得‘体面’，”她说，“我认为女性分享得越多，情况就越好。”她补充道：“这对女性来说很不容易。我们必须做所有这些事，而男性却不需要做这些。”

直到大约2012年，冻存卵子以保留生育能力仍被视为针对癌症患者等紧急情况的实验性干预措施，因为治疗会损害其生育能力。

但如今，随着越来越多的人经历这一过程，

特工在清查行动中使用侮辱性言辞的证据

本文由珍妮·贾尔斯、蒙克·斯派尔和吉尔·考恩撰写

自去年以来，多名杰出特工开始执行一系列大规模激进清查行动，民权组织认为，特朗普政府的大规模驱逐行动一直以人为原因的定性为由进行辩护。

如今，执法记录仪画面、庭审文件及其他文件作为国家案件的一部分被公开，揭示了种族和族裔在洛杉矶、芝加哥、明尼阿波利斯及美国其他城市展开的清查行动中所扮演的角色。

在法庭文件记录的多个案例中，联邦特工将目标称为“雷达”——这一术语通常在该项目中用于指代墨西哥，意在描述特工手电筒光线照射到他们身上的情景。

被怀疑低估身份的移民被描述为“湿背”（wet），这一称呼源于旧时的“湿背”说法。而在南加州领导一次行动的特工则这样描述他认为可疑的个人外貌：“年长的拉美裔男性”。

这些作为种族定性证据的信息浮出水面之际，曾被视为“软漂移者”的原则——即执法人员不能仅凭种族或族裔盘问或拘留某人——在移民执法背景下是否仍然适用，似乎已成为一个更加开放的问题。

然而，最高法院在推翻半个世纪的判例方面迈出了一小步，当大法官布雷特·卡瓦诺对

记者如何在住房报道中挖掘人文故事

米希尔·扎韦里（Mihir Zaveri）分享了他在报道不断上涨的租金和复杂分区法规过程中积累的经验。

撰文：KARAB EAHN

作为《纽约时报》报道纽约市及周边地区住房问题的记者，米希尔·扎韦里从未想过，解读住房法律会为他打开如此多元的城市故事之门。

“住房几乎涉及一切——它是理解纽约多样性的一种方式，”扎韦里先生说。他成长于旧金山湾区，现居住在布鲁克林南坡社区。

在过去近六年的时间里，他探讨了纽约市住房建设成本为何如此高昂，调查了导致上月曼哈顿中城一栋办公楼部分坍塌的结构性和监管失误，并深入挖掘了这座城市最高薪种树人的谜团。

“我一直对政府和公共事务感兴趣，”扎韦里先生说。他于1912年毕业于加州大学伯克利分校，获得政治学学士学位。“不带偏见地报道事物，为代金券持有者发声，这个理念深深吸引了我。”他随后于1914年获得新闻学硕士学位。

在一次采访中，扎韦里谈及了在纽约报道住房问题的挑战，以及他如何观察故事。以下内容经编辑整理。

你是如何开始对住房报道产生兴趣的？

我于1910年从《休斯敦纪事报》加入《纽约时报》，当时我负责报道县政府。我发现，报道住房和社区是深入理解一个地方的方式，能够洞察社区的需求和视角。

因此，1920年，我进入《纽约时报》都市版，并最终提出专门报道住房的提议。这让我得以独特地洞察纽约市。例如，许多政治议题都高度聚焦于曼哈顿，而城市中还存在许多其他有影响力的社区。

刚开始时，你需要快速掌握哪些知识？或者最大的挑战是什么？

长期以来，一个简单的共识是：开发商在社区内建设大型项目被视为一种自上而下的负面力量。但当你深入思考住房短缺问题时，就必须权衡社区需求与城市、地区乃至州的需求。有太多因素相互作用，如何在尊重细微差别的同时讲好故事，一直是最大的挑战。

你如何寻找报道选题？

我报道住房问题已有多年，与政府、房地产行业、租户维权和法律界的人士建立了广泛联系。经常有人主动联系我，说：“嘿，你知道这件事正在发生吗？”

但在1920年，我意识到不能仅仅依赖现有圈子的线索。我尝试接触社区委员会、倡导团体、社区组织的成员，以及来自全市各地的房东。每周，我都会努力扩展人脉网络。有时，我只是在城市中漫步，看到一些奇怪的现象，或者想：“我以前从没见过这个。”

从事这份工作以来，你学到了什么？

每个问题都有不同的视角，每种观点都有其合理性。没有哪个人或政治立场一定是正确的。这是一个宏观的论断，但也是我每次报道都秉持的原则。这是新闻的核心理念，但在住房领域尤其如此。保持开放心态，倾听不同的声音，这一点非常重要。

住房问题还有一个让我深感兴趣的层面，即你会发现许多看似突发的—。

这些观点与以下因素相关：一个地方是否存在违规记录，以及其历史特性——比如一个社区如何承载过去、现在和未来的交织，而不仅仅是对错分明的政治叙事。

目前纽约市最有趣的社区是哪里？

东纽约。这个社区拥有丰富的文化历史，同时也正处于变革的风口浪尖。在德马诺政府早期，他们重点推动了该区的重新分区规划。目标是打造一个能提供各类住房、且方便通勤至曼哈顿的社区。纽约市几十年来一直在变化，而这一地区正是一个引人入胜的缩影。

如果你可以住在世界任何地方，且金钱不是问题，你会选择哪里？

坦白说，纽约市。我住在这里，但显然还没有完全实现理想中的生活。我向往那些如果金钱不是问题时可能会选择的住宅类型。我也喜欢探索世界各地的自然目的地，而从纽约出发很容易做到这一点。

在最近一期的“书评”播客中，主持人吉尔伯特·克鲁兹（Gilbert Cruz）与《书评》编辑蒂娜·乔丹（Tina Jordan）和撰写《书评》月度惊悚小说专栏的萨拉·J·朱尔（Sarah J. Jull）进行了对话，讨论该栏目近期发布的“21世纪50部最佳惊悚小说”榜单。以下是经过编辑的对话节选。

惊悚小说的定义范围有多大？

蒂娜·乔丹：这是一个非常非常广泛的类别。包括间谍小说、警匪推理、私家侦探小说、温馨悬疑、动作惊悚、科幻惊悚等等。这个单子可以列得很长。

为什么你认为“惊悚”这个字眼，至少在最初，对某些人来说如此狭隘？他们真的认为它就是指黑暗的犯罪故事。

乔丹：因为我认为这是惊悚小说的传统，对吧？我是说，现在我们榜单上有一部连环杀手题材的惊悚小说，实际上读起来让人笑出声。20年前可没有这样的作品。

萨拉，你为《纽约时报》撰写惊悚小说评论已经有一段时间了。你是否认为自己的职责之一是呈现这一类型的广度？

萨拉·J·朱尔：我确实努力去做到这一点，但正如你所说，这个类型非常广泛。我所谓的“覆盖”在某种程度上也取决于我个人的品味。因此，我会在专栏中加入几部连环杀手题材的惊悚小说，但这并不是我最喜欢的类型。我和蒂娜的观点一致，这个类型非常广泛，几乎任何书都可以成为惊悚小说。我认为最好的书本身就是一种惊悚，即使其中没有犯罪或谜团。阅读一部精彩的小说时，依然会有悬念——比如，人物会有怎样的命运？他会发现妻子的秘密吗？会有什么真相被揭露？因此，这是一个极其宽泛的类别，我喜欢想象自己的专栏是一个“大教堂”。

妆容小贴士

如何打造“无妆妆”妆容

在复杂的美妆教程背景下，“无妆妆”这一极简主义的反向操作颇具吸引力。它强调对自然妆容的微妙提升。“这与将脸部视为一系列需要解决的问题截然相反，”化妆师迪克·佩奇（Dick Page）说道。以下是他分享的打造此妆容的技巧。撰文：劳拉·维施戈（LAURA WISCHGOW）

减少粉底用量。我倾向于少用粉底，因为我想看到肌肤本身。Glossier的粉底质地轻盈。你也可以用保湿霜稀释粉底。我从不喜欢在眼睛下方使用遮瑕膏。我不明白为什么我们集体认定黑眼圈是魔鬼。

找准深度。我喜欢强调眼周的自然阴影，以增加层次感——想象拍照时提高对比度。在1月的Dives Van Noises男装秀上，我混合了多种乳霜色，使用了Make Up For Ever和Mini: Pro的不同色素。其中一种是雪地棕，另一种是雪地机器人效果。乳霜眼影棒和Mild的哑光色及亮黑色也是不错的选择。你也可以用棕色眼线笔——兰蔻有一款名为“黑咖啡”的不错产品——并用指尖晕开。

使用明快的色素。将丰富、明快的唇膏涂抹在脸颊、鼻子

——甚至眉毛上方。想象你在寒冷中或赶公交后的样子。你会呈现什么颜色？根据肤色不同，可能是暖棕色、粉色——或者完全的红色，我喜欢这种效果。药妆品牌都有多种色彩可选，剧场品牌Grimas的唇膏色系也很出色。你需要的是高浓度色素——总能稀释调整。

至于浓密睫毛感，我不喜欢睫毛膏。如果用了，我会先在手背上蹭掉大部分，再轻扫睫毛。我这样做很浪费。如果你想要淡淡的轮廓感，加拿大品牌Hu80有一款不错的选择，有黑色、棕红色和棕色。它能让妆容若隐若现，又不显得睫毛膏过重。

如果越南轻松惬意，其法律体系却不然

涌入的外国人可能陷入困境

文：拉蒙·崔（RAMON CHOI）

越南岘港——他看起来像是近来在越南随处可见的数字游民之一，将背包放在一家时尚咖啡馆后方的桌子上，点了一杯咖啡。

随后，他脱掉衬衫，开始对所有人发号施令。

监控录像拍下了这名男子——34岁的澳大利亚品牌策略师莫琳·莉莉（Maureen Lilly）——在岘港沿海城市一家名为De Calis的咖啡馆内清理柜台、关闭窗户，还抢走了一名越南青年的手机并将其扼喉，直到警察将他带走。

目击者怀疑他是否精神失常，并跟随他到了警局。唯一能够翻译的人是被莉莉先生袭击的那名男子。咖啡馆经理31岁的阮勇（Nguyen Rung）担心他受到不公对待，主动提出为这位受害者担任翻译。

这一事件生动地展现了当今越南的矛盾：这个国家热情欢迎外国人，承诺提供自然美景、谎语、友善和经济实惠——这种浪漫与共产主义政权优先维护社会秩序和控制的现实形成鲜明对比。当外国游客遇到麻烦时，开放包容的热情往往被一个为殖民时代所设计的法律体系所取代。

去年，越南接待了创纪录的2280万国际游客，而今年该国有望再增长约15%。尽管大多数游客行为得体，但被指控从枪支暴力、醉驾到非法经营等罪行的外国人已被关入拘留中心，引发了关于越南真正的国家形象——以及它希望成为什么样的国家——的激烈争论，因为它试图通过国际融合来推动经济发展。

越南官员正面临强大的外交压力，要求其遵守国际规范，并升级无法适应该国日益增长的人气的司法系统。

官方翻译人员严重短缺。获得律师或领事官员的帮助可能需要数周甚至数月。根据对近十个国家的前拘留者、近期被捕者的亲属、律师和外交官的采访，即使是轻微违法行为——如夸大信任或吸食少量大麻——也可能面临严厉处罚，包括巨额罚款和监禁。

然而，一个完全不同的世界展现在被拘留在越南的外国人面前，一位因担心激怒越南当局而坚持匿名的受访者表示：“一旦进去，你可能就有罪了。”

越南公安部在最近的一份公开声明中承认，“外国公民在越南从事非法活动的情况日益复杂。”

今年提交给巴地县（该地区设有关押外国人的拘留设施）地方立法者的一份立法提案指出，该市的拘留设施面临巨大压力，并呼吁增加资金投入，这是对系统性困境的罕见承认。

据五名了解相关情况的国际官员透露，那一年，一名年轻牙医在与越南政府高层的会议中提出了这一问题。随着更多本国公民在拥挤的牢房中被关押数月，有时无法与亲属、领事官员或律师定期联系，各国大使的不满情绪日益加剧。

上图：监控摄像头于5月在越南岘港Ga' Cals咖啡馆内拍下一名澳大利亚男子的行为。由于警方没有翻译，被他袭击的其中一人主动担任翻译。下图：该咖啡馆于6月重新开业。

邓吴（Tang Ngo）协助调研。

澳大利亚驻越南官员已获悉莉莉先生的案件，并确认正在设法提供协助。但她的面容仍不确定。岘港警方于6月9日宣布，他将被拘留至少三个月，警方正在调查其涉嫌扰乱公共秩序的指控，这可能导致数年监禁。

其在澳大利亚的家人无法联系上。一位当地亲属告诉新闻媒体，他不得不维持秩序，并似乎在损坏咖啡馆时正处于发病状态。咖啡馆经理荣先生回忆称，在警察局里，莉莉先生表示自己情绪抑郁，且未按时服药。

当晚某个时刻，他在Facebook上发帖称：“我需要帮助。”

不是泰国2.0

越南通过官方媒体大量报道外国人犯罪案件，明确表示不希望成为另一个泰国——长期以来，游客涌向泰国，不仅是为了海滩和美食，还为了红灯区和合法大麻。

越南面临的部分挑战在于，泰国也希望摆脱这一形象。泰国政府5月宣布，将大多数旅游签证的有效期从60天缩短至10天。

20岁的数字健康创业者史蒂文·普库尔（Steven Pookul）来自清迈，我在岘港灯塔咖啡馆外遇到他——那里几乎每个座位都被带着笔记本电脑的外国人占据——他告诉我，自己是最近从泰国搬到越南的许多人之一。

“越来越多人想要逃离，”他说。

邻国柬埔寨的扫荡行动，加上越南对包括韩国在内的多个国家实施的宽松签证政策，可能也吸引了更多游牧者和不法分子。

在5月24日夜里Lilly制造的暴力事件发生前几周，另一处海滩的警方逮捕了一名俄罗斯男子，他酒后驾驶摩托车撞死了一名70岁的越南女性。6月，警方拘留了24名跨国人员，他们占领了胡志明市的一家酒店，警方称其涉嫌“跨国诈骗”。

许多越南人并未立即转向愤世嫉俗。最近一个晚上，在岘港的Khe海滩，75岁的黄医生（Dr. By Hoang）和72岁的妻子阮氏月（Nguyen Thi Toyet）坐在自家楼前，距离一家挤满外国人狂饮和打台球的酒吧仅一个街区之遥。

这对夫妇说，四年前这里还很安静，后来市政府将该区域改造为旅游夜生活区。黄医生表示，好处是他的房产价值上涨了，最大的弊端则是彻夜狂欢。

“早上开门时，我经常看到有人醉倒或睡在街上，”他说。

尽管如此，他和妻子坚称，选择友善并非不够越南化。

“他们只是邻居的一部分，”黄医生指着附近的外国人说，“这很好，因为以前越南在打仗，对世界封闭。现在我们欢迎所有人。”

犯罪与惩罚

岘港警方选择了更具对抗性的应对方式，他们在酒店检查签证，并在凌晨3点出现在外国人公寓，要求他们接受药检。

从个人角度来看，好客与怀疑之间的原因由来已久。越南革命领袖胡志明常指责法国殖民统治者散播毒品和赌博。

极少数越南人能够独立自主。 越南战争于1975年结束后，该国将这种思维模式法典化。贩毒，即使是为了吸引小规模注意，也会导致警方对任何被抓到“组织吸毒”的人判处死刑——这一广泛的指控甚至包括递盘子分享大麻——最高可判处20年监禁。

法律官员表示，无论是对公民还是游客，司法仍然受共产党政治和基于病区罪责的影响。

党设定目标——官员最近宣布，越南最大的都市胡志明市将在2019年实现无毒品——警察通过起诉竞争晋升。官员需要法官对所谓的辩护进行裁决，包括犯罪描述和建议刑期，“前提是假设这些都是正确的”，澳大利亚莫纳什大学越南法律专家约翰·吉莱斯皮（John Gillespie）说。

人权组织长期批评越南当局制造虚假案件，剥夺公民的正当程序。旨在保护外国人权益的国际法律——要求定期领事探访和迅速通知其政府——在越南常被忽视，据来自10个国家的外交官员称。律师和亲属几乎无法接触被告，尤其是在政治拘留期间，拘留时间可长达一年以上。

“旧的苏联体制在某种程度上仍然完好无损，”吉莱斯皮先生说。

越南公安部和外交部未回应书面采访请求，拒绝就该国的执法方式发表评论。

上个月，公安部发布了一段其首席发言人、少将阮国全（Nguyen Quoc Tran）的视频，强调将简化程序，让“来越南从事合法活动”的外国人体验到“一个热情、高效、管理良好的国家”。

有迹象表明，一些官员认为拘留制度需要更新。提交河内立法机构的文件指出，自2009年以来，每日约1美元（约合人民币7元）的拘留津贴“已不再适用，考虑到通货膨胀和外国人的实际需求”。

被Mr. Lilly锁喉的那名顾客因担心酒店员工的安全而报了警。荣（Rung），30岁，和他的妻子说：“我们当时只是想确保安全——顾客不希望那人被伤害。”

德咖啡（De Cafe）在支付1.4亿美元罚款后几天重新开业。我6月份到访时，店门口装上了新窗户，顾客受到一张并排展示澳大利亚和越南国旗的海报欢迎。

但本月初，荣女士表示，她和咖啡店老板感到失望，因为他们仍未收到Mr. Lilly家人的消息。他们希望得到道歉和赔偿，而不是漫长的监禁。

日本老龄农民谨慎看待机器人

撰文：玛莎·凯尔奇（Marsha Kelch） 及菊子·尼科尔斯（Kikko Nichols）

日本西川町——樱花的颜色介于粉白之间。花期短暂。很难解释日本人为何如此热爱“nakura”，但他们确实深爱着它。

机器人无法欣赏“nakura”那转瞬即逝的柔美，也不理解为何日本北部一个大雪封山的小镇会专注于培育冬季品种。

但西川町的居民发现——至少他们曾以为自己发现——他们需要机器人来帮助种植“”。镇上已无足够的劳动力。西川町农民的平均年龄为73.岁。在这个全球人口最稀少的国家之一、人口最稀少的县之一、人口最稀少的城镇之一，除了由铝、钢和硬塑料组合而成的机器，还有谁会在这片土地上耕作？

“我们必须做点什么，”西川町樱花农民协会会长金子光之（Mitsuyuki Kaneko）说道。他的父母，年龄分别为75岁和84,岁，仍在寒冷的棚屋中踏雪劳作，采摘并包装冬季“”。“我们不能就这样消失。”

70岁的金子先生精通科技。他推了推鼻梁上的眼镜，低头查看iPhone，通过手机监测“”果园的温度和湿度，还能观看樱桃树采摘的直播。在寻找能替代日渐衰老的农民和他们艰难攀爬的灌木后，金子先生与当地政府合作，将科技引入西川町。

山形县政府官员安装了能检测温度变化的传感器，以确定冬季“”的最佳采摘时机（结果发现需在低于8摄氏度的环境下持续200小时）。他们部署了除雪机器人，并以胜利的姿态订购了一台能帮助农民轻松运输和装载樱花捆的机器人。这台机器人被命名为“Pechi”，原定于去年11月到货。

随后，西川町的农民开始等待。11月来了又去。在一个将实用主义视为高超艺术的国家，这一延误令人尴尬。Pechi最终在圣诞节当天抵达，看起来更像一个超大号的信用卡概念模型，而非精密的机器人，其外观是一个樱花黄的轮式集装箱。价格约为$25,000.

从那以后，故事便有了下文。尽管机器人热潮和山形县地方政客急于为乡村振兴争取中央政府资金，Pechi大多被冷落在温室的一角。对这台能在山地行驶并承载600磅重物的机器人，西川町农民志田静雄（84,岁）的态度最具代表性。即便金子先生展示Pechi如何在轻微口哨声下像一条听话的狗般跟随他，志田先生仍固执地推着装满樱花的金属推车，身体因用力而倾斜。

“我还是用老办法做事，”他说道，目光冷淡地瞥了一眼Pechi。

志田先生的三个孩子无一务农。他丧偶，独居，独自耕作，每天爬上山地，用铁锹将“”从雪中挖出。

雪国

不久前，西川町还沉睡在大雪之中。金子先生的父母记得，在1970年代初期，他们位于镇上山区的农舍有时会被大雪封锁长达数月。当时唯一的出行方式是靠陆路。

到了2000年代，西川町与日本其他许多地区一样迅速发展。外来人口涌入这片积雪覆盖的地区，渴望开垦农田。日本的农业政策帮助他们抵御海外竞争。在日本农村，水泥搅拌机轰鸣，修建道路、隧道和桥梁。山形县——山形（Yamagata）意为“山之形”——致力于种植高端作物，如适合烧炭的“La France”梨。日本的繁荣时代以“1000个果园”这一急救水果 / 土壤改良项目为象征。

1992年，日本经济陷入隐性衰退，同年新干线终于抵达山形。折扣商店开始出现，以100日元（当时约合40美分）的价格出售商品，与昂贵食品的柜台并存。日本的农业人口因工业化和经济发展早已减少，此时更是急剧萎缩，恰逢日本人口结构出现断崖式下滑。

西川町的高中于1981年关闭。最后一家超市在约20年前停业。医学院和手机零件工厂也相继关门。去年，日本的出生人口创下历史新低，目前日本总人口为1.238 亿，预计到2010年将降至1亿以下。

在山形县，当地官员尝试了各种应对人口急剧下降的方案——包括机器人和开放政策。西川町40岁的町长菅野达（Dardis Kanno）为Pechi及其他“智慧农业”创新项目争取到$40,000的资金。与县内其他领导人一样，他选择依靠技术而非另一个潜在解决劳动力短缺的方案：接纳更多外国劳工。日本政府正在加强对外来劳工的限制。整个山形县仅有143名外国农业劳工。

“很难找到能接班下一代的人，”菅野先生说。

种植樱花的农民金子先生的父母——名叫久秀（Kushu）——表示，他们的儿子是社区中唯一继续务农的人。镇上空置的房屋越来越多。全国范围内，独立农户数量已骤降至不足100万，而世纪之交时这一数字为240 万。去年，日本农户数量创下有史以来最大降幅。

金子先生劝父亲考取无人机喷洒农药的执照。但一位年过八旬的老人并非理想的无人机操作员。

“这不是我习惯的事，”金子久秀先生说，“不知道该怎么做。”

每年冬季积雪季节（nakura season），金子光雪（Mitsuyuki Kaneko）的父母都会离开自家墙壁单薄、室内寒冷的木屋，在高过他们两倍的雪堆间穿行。

“冬天，在我们的山里，只有熊能四处走动，”金子先生的父亲说，“我认为机器人很难适应。”

这对夫妇在结满冰霜的温室里工作，身上裹着层层衣物，偶尔在雪堆旁的炉子上暖暖手。尽管日本农业以慷慨补贴闻名，但现实情况依然艰难。

村口竖立着一块标志，提醒人们注意熊出没的频繁目击，左上图所示。这些动物越来越多地侵入乡村城镇，并已造成农民死亡。中图为西川町一处仓库内的樱花枝条，称为“nakura”。右图为Kanto Shida正在为搬到城市的孙女们烤制红薯。尽管如此，她和丈夫仍希望将农场传给年轻一代。

“我们年轻时还能维持生计，但现在越来越难以生存了，”Kanekers先生的父亲说道。

他的儿子成功说服了几位西川町的居民，将家乡描绘成摆脱城市艰难生活的解药。最先到来的是一对来自东京郊区的夫妇，被称为“Naka-goron”。他们如今在镇上方的山区耕种一小块土地，自然元素与严寒的土地抗争。这份工作勉强维持生计，且充满危险。他们耕作时会佩戴铃铛以驱赶熊。

今年冬季花季期间，另一位新来者Mizine Moriya开始在政府温室度过夜晚，西川町的农民们在此捆扎和包装花枝。在一个男性主导的领域，40岁的Moriya女士正在开拓自己的市场。她将花季花朵出售给种子公司及乳制品制造商，还将花瓣封入首饰中。

在整理和包装花枝时，Moriya女士偶尔会渴望地看向温室中闲置的“Pochi”。尽管Kaneko先生和其他资深农民告诉她可以自由使用这台机器，但根深蒂固的社会等级观念让她望而却步。她是外来者，是女性，也是所有花季农民中地位最低的一个。

“新人不可能使用它的，”Moriya女士说道，一边打量着“Pochi”的克制、静默自信与强大力量。

她朝机器人挥了挥手，但它没有回应。

机械狼

今年5月，一名70岁的男子在山形县的山中采集野生植物时失踪。他是日本一个月内第五名被熊致命袭击的遇难者。随着日本人口减少，熊的数量却在激增。它们越来越多地出没于森林和废弃农田中，并开始在人口稀少的城镇发动袭击。

真子和一夫·樱的卷心菜和西兰花农场位于距西川町40分钟车程的多石山坡上，如今已被熊、野猪甚至偶尔出现的狼所侵扰。这种毛茸茸的日本牛科动物看起来像是山羊、羚羊和"瓦克-沃汉"的混合体。去年，樱太太在卷心菜地里发现熊的脚印后，还目睹了熊的擦痕。具有攻击性的熊是他们长期以来的恐惧。

樱夫妇已年过七旬。樱先生因多年务农而背部弯曲，走路时步履蹒跚。他用自行车轮胎和木钉制作工具，在地上拖拽以除草。他推着生锈的独轮车在冻土上行走。曾经在这片区域有七个农场，如今只剩下两个。大自然正在重新占领这片山地。

“是的，很孤独，”74岁的樱太太说道。这时，“怪物狼”出现了——这是一款日本制造的空气驱动装置，配有闪烁的红色眼睛和刺耳的音效。去年，这对老夫妇的卷心菜长得格外甜脆，多亏了山形市政府提供的“怪物狼”服务。它每半小时会发出一阵混杂的声音，从低沉的咆哮到真正令人毛骨悚然的嚎叫，不一而足。狼的出现也会触发机器发出嘈杂的声响。樱夫妇因此得以在无惧袭击的情况下工作。

然而，“怪物狼”仍然存在缺陷。从外观标准来看，它显得廉价而简陋。这只机械狼被固定在一个平台上，只有头部能够活动。此外，山形市政府目前仅拥有一台这种驱兽装置。“怪物狼”已经从樱家的田地移走。他们希望它能回来。开发者表示，今年“怪物狼”的视频教程销量增长了两倍以上。

摘樱桃

多年来，机器人的前景一直让山形县的研究人员兴奋不已。该地区生产的樱桃约占过去产量的70%，且长期面临采摘劳动力短缺的问题。为寻找解决方案，

左图：Monster Wolf在Manako和Kazuo-Sakura的卷心菜和西兰花农场上。这台机器会发出刺耳的噪音吓跑熊。上图：农业合作社负责人金子光哉（Mitsuya Kaneko）与Pochi机器人。该机器人可承载600磅重量，但通常闲置，因为当地人更愿意自己完成工作。下图：一款割草机器人可能会被杂草“煮熟”。

一位当地果农联系了山形大学机器人与机电一体化教授角井雄一（Yuichi Tsunaki），希望开发一款采摘樱桃的机器人。政府为此提供了资金支持。

“我说过我没有信心，但我们会尝试。”角井教授说道。

他解释了樱桃采摘的精细机制。若不带果柄采摘，樱桃会很快腐烂；而带果柄采摘则需要人手的轻柔触感。

为此，果农齐藤赞友（Zanyu Saito）提前将樱桃树修剪成藤架式，如同葡萄藤一般，以便机器人能轻松采摘果实。齐藤的农场如今遍布平整的樱桃树，果实悬挂在宜人的统一高度。唯独缺少的，就是那台采摘樱桃的机器人。他已等待角井教授开发这款机器人4年，至今已有7年。

一天早晨，教授在实验室里显得格外紧张。经过数月的延误，他和学生研究人员即将展示十年来机器人创新为山形县带来的成果。一名研究生递上口罩、黑色手套和一顶安全帽。他将头靠在金属脚手架上，小心翼翼地将五个增强型机械臂固定在一棵樱桃树上。遥控器一按，机械臂便带着果柄采下了樱桃。角井教授微微鞠躬。

第二次尝试时，机器人停在半空，一颗樱桃悬而未决。第三次，机器人陷入无序旋转，机械爪空抓一场。第四次同样失败。第五次，五颗带果柄的樱桃被成功采下。

研究生马克斯·莫斯科（Makes Moscow）表示，他对机器人能拯救山形县的农业并不抱太大希望。尽管他已投身机器人研究，但他的父亲——一位樱桃农——却建议他为更好的工作机会做好准备。

“他说这里没什么前途。”莫斯科说道。

果农齐藤现年95岁，仍在工作，并依靠肾透析维持生命。在孙子的帮助下，他巡视着自家平整的樱桃树，审视着这片历经三代的果园。接班的儿子对机器人并不感兴趣。

去年，在山形县举办的全球樱桃峰会上，中国研究人员对齐藤的平整樱桃园表现出浓厚兴趣。他们听闻樱桃采摘机器人的消息，希望能将其引入中国。

“前几天我在电视上看到，中国的机器人已经非常先进了，对吧？”齐藤说道，“我听说后，就没让他们看山形大学的采摘机器人，因为担心他们会利用这项技术。”

日本曾一度在机器人领域领先世界，于1971年推出首款人形机器人，但如今已远远落后于中国。中国的机器人能下围棋、扇动翅膀，技术日新月异。今年3月，南京农业大学开发的一款机器人在中国草莓田间穿梭采摘，准确率达60%，其1.1型号基于海葵的旋转运动设计——至少中国官方媒体如此报道，并以溢美之词宣传国内创新。研究人员正在将该机器人的云数据平台扩展至番茄和樱桃采摘。

中国的机器人已能采摘蓝莓和醋栗。

即使是被誉为西川町樱桃和野牛农户救星的 Pochi，也有一段尴尬的“处女作”故事：这台机器人实际上是韩国制造的。

下一代

Pochi并非西川町唯一不受待见的机器人。一台原本用于修剪沙龙果园的割草机器人总是被杂草“打败”。当地政府称正在尝试将农药喷洒桶“升级为大象级别”，但进展缓慢。而Pochi的早期版本——一台甚至没有名字的机器——比它的管理员更不受尊重。

不过，当地有一位农民非常喜欢Pochi。74岁的志田翁（Onana Shida）以他曾经养过的一只柴犬为机器人命名。在工人中，几乎只有他会将樱桃树枝堆在机器上，并惊叹于运输的便捷。

“我失去了这只Pochi的幼崽，”志田先生说，“我喜欢让Pochi跟着我到处走！”

一天傍晚，志田先生用雪地吹雪机清理一片准备种植的田地。积雪高达30多英尺，他独自一人在雪中忙碌。随后，他回到自家的农舍。屋内炉火正旺，空气中弥漫着妻子烤制的20根红薯的香气。一位警官走了进来，他是25年前从中国移居到这个小村庄的。他的孙女们也出生在中国，此刻正躺在榻榻米上刷着手机，仿佛身处任何地方都一样。

女孩们说着一口流利的日语，一边争吵一边收拾东西准备去上空手道课。祖母为她们准备了饭团和烤红薯作为点心。

“西川町已经没剩多少孩子了，”志田先生说。

实际上，他的曾孙们也不住在西川町。他们已经和父母搬到了附近城市的公寓。

“我们都老了，”志田太太说。她的膝盖和双手都做过手术，一切都靠她打理。

不过，与西川町的大多数人不同，这对夫妇希望能将农场传给下一代。也许他们会回到沙龙果园的数据中。他们对机器人的戒心显然更小。

“也许我们不该回去，应该过平静的生活，眺望远方的大海，”志田太太说。

志田先生哼了一声。

“还没到时候，”他说，“我们还有活要干。”

山形大学机器人学教授角井雄一（上图左）设计了一款采摘樱桃的机器人。经过10年的研发，它在测试中表现不一。中图为斋藤赞友的樱桃树，经过整形以便机器人采摘，但仍在等待。右图为70多岁的Kazuo-Sakura在收获作物。附近七个农场中，只剩两个还在经营。“是啊，很孤独，”她说。

哥伦比亚地震后疯狂搜救幸存者

死亡人数至少升至181人

文／戈登·格拉夫尼 朱莉·斯图伦菲茨

哥伦比亚卡利电 —— 人群高呼她的名字：“戴安娜”·德韦尔

哥伦比亚发生致命地震后的第二天，救援工作仍在持续。周二，消防员在酷热中奋力营救一名被困在卡利市一栋倒塌建筑废墟下的35岁女子。

戴安娜·玛塞拉·特龙科索（Diana Marcela Troncoso）已被困近10天。她伸出手臂，紧紧抓住一名消防员的手臂，像抓住救命稻草一样。在被转移到脊柱固定板时，她因疼痛而哭泣，但她还活着。人群高呼她的名字。

哥伦比亚西部地区仍在继续紧急搜救这场十年来最强地震的幸存者。

根据哥伦比亚城市协会（Association）的数据，这场7.5级地震已造成至少181人死亡，1,250人受伤，153栋建筑倒塌。由于部分受灾地区通讯仍未恢复，官员表示预计死亡人数还会上升。

伤亡最严重的地区似乎是该国第三大城市卡利，这座城市以文化、音乐和舞蹈闻名。卡利距离震中约100英里，原本计划在本周庆祝一年一度的“普雷托里亚”（Pretoria）音乐节，这一备受喜爱的传统活动每年吸引数千名游客。

然而，地震在周一上午袭来，导致至少45栋建筑倒塌。截至周二，超过230人被困在废墟中，官员和消防员正全力营救，来自首都波哥大及其他地区的救援队伍也纷纷赶来。

正是波哥大的消防员将特龙科索女士从废墟中救出。当他们将她抬下一座碎石堆成的小山时，人们鼓掌欢呼。

“她的工作就是拯救生命，”她的表兄安德烈斯·特龙科索（Andrés Troncoso）在她被送上等候的救护车后说，“幸运的是，今天她成了被救的人，她为此感到自豪。”

美国国务院周二表示，正派遣一支40人规模的救援队支持救援行动，此外还将提供1050万紧急援助，用于食品、保护和地震评估。

美国国务院表示，多个国际援助组织也已承诺提供支持。

卡利倒塌建筑的救援现场与几周前委内瑞拉的情况形成鲜明对比。在委内瑞拉，连续两次强震造成至少6,200人死亡。

委内瑞拉的灾难规模更大，救援难度更高。灾后，平民承担了大部分搜救工作，政府往往缺位。由于威权政府多年削减预算，紧急救援系统甚至难以维持运转，剩余的救援队伍也缺乏开展复杂救援行动的工具。

救援行动常常陷入混乱，民众不知所措，指挥链条不明。许多委内瑞拉人表示，在危难时刻，他们感到被政府抛弃。

但在卡利，周一和周二在多栋倒塌建筑的救援现场，救援工作井然有序，有时还用彩色警戒带封锁区域。平民帮助清理废墟。周一晚，一辆救护车随时待命。一台黄色挖掘机被用来移走部分重型瓦砾。

然而，在两国，这场灾难都在考验新上任的领导人。在委内瑞拉，灾难应对进一步加剧了民众对总统戴利·罗德里格斯（Daly Rodriguez）的愤怒。罗德里格斯于今年1月在美国逮捕其前任后上台。

哥伦比亚新任总统阿德莱德·德拉·埃斯皮尼利亚（Adelaide De La Espinilla）是一名从未担任过公职的律师，在地震发生前三天刚刚就任，并承诺为首都以外的地区带来新机遇。

她于周二访问了西部城市佩雷拉，会见官员并评估受损建筑。自地震发生以来，她多次表示灾民不会被遗弃。

罗德里格斯女士和德拉·埃斯皮尼利亚女士均获得戴利总统的支持。

除了卡利，哥伦比亚咖啡种植区的多个城市也受到影响，包括安第斯山脉西麓的佩雷拉和马尼萨莱斯。

卡利遭重创，45栋建筑倒塌，数百人被困

地震重创了该地区，太平洋沿岸的考卡地区同样受灾严重。

哥伦比亚考卡省政府周二在全国电话会议上表示，灾情的全部程度尚不清楚，部分原因是该省八个市镇的通讯仍然中断。

“我们目前缺乏详细的伤亡统计，”州长鲁本·卡罗来纳·辛奇塔·库里（Ruben Carolina Cinchita Curi）表示，“因为灾情实在太严重了。”

在卡利，救援工作持续至深夜，消防员拼命在灾难发生数小时后的关键时间内搜寻幸存者。

在一栋倒塌的住宅楼——“超级文化社区”附近，傍晚时分，消防员、医护人员和其他救援人员在瓦砾中艰难搜寻，试图找到一家四口，他们相信这家人被困在废墟中，而民众则手拉手组成人链，清理成堆的灰尘和碎石。

“我们相信他们还活着，因为听到了他们的呼救声，”16岁的杜埃尔·莱吉祖马（Deuel Leguizamo）说。他是一支私人救援队的医护人员，在地震发生后不久从普亚伊塔市赶到卡利。

此前，62岁的当地商人卡罗来纳（Carolina）表示，她和朋友们带着水、电解质饮料、磨好的咖啡豆和三明治，在得知灾情后立即赶去救援。

“我们用酒精洗手，直接在车上做了另一批三明治，”卡罗来纳女士说，“那些正在现场救援的人至少应该有东西吃。”

另一处受损建筑的历史遗迹——一本名为“我的15岁”的剪贴簿，里面装满了旧照片、一首“第一年”诗歌、一张照片、一块斑马纹布料（玛格丽特·科勒伦的作品）——被从废墟中抢救出来，放在一旁。人们被要求保持安静，于是纷纷举手示意，这一信号在人群中传递开来。

冰岛多云天气或将遮蔽日全食

阿梅莉亚·诺伦斯布罗（Amelia Nørønsbro）报道

埃吉尔·比约内松（Egil Björneson）来自冰岛北部洪德（Hound）的补充报道

冰岛布里兹维克——2020年8月12日（周三），一场日全食将在多个欧洲国家投下阴影。尽管众多日食爱好者期待一睹这一奇观的最佳景象，但变幻莫测的天气可能成为最大的障碍。

许多冰岛人——以及一些国际游客——计划在现场临时决定观测地点。

“这里是观赏日食最糟糕的国家，”玛格丽特·雷诺兹（Margaret Reynolds）说。她住在冰岛偏远的北部地区，那里是月球完全遮蔽太阳的全食带之一。

截至周二，冰岛大部分地区的天气预报显示多云、阴天甚至有雨。雷诺兹是一名物理治疗师，原计划在家中观看日食，但当天早些时候天气看起来阴沉且多雾——加上天气变化无常，许多人可能会在当天早上查看天气预报后，驱车前往寻找观赏机会。

简而言之，没人真正知道大家会去哪里。

“我不会去追逐太阳，”贝娜·米约尔·阿尔巴多蒂尔（Bena Mjöll Arbadóttir）说。她经营着冰岛最西端的酒店——布鲁克赛德（Brookside）。在她的酒店，月球完全遮蔽太阳的时间将持续令人印象深刻的2分10秒。而沿着公路向前，在该国边缘的悬崖上，这一时间将是最长的。

阿尔巴多蒂尔已在酒店附近清理出两块空地，搭建了16个新的便携式厕所，并订购了——。

对于大部分欧洲地区

周三上午，当地日食将为格陵兰、冰岛和西班牙部分地区带来白昼全黑。欧洲大部分地区及部分周边区域将经历日偏食。

日食：日全食与日偏食：一次全日食

足够数月的食物。

如果天气不佳，她的营地可能会涌入大量露营者。但若天公不作美，所有昂贵的准备可能都将付诸东流。“我们什么都不知道，”她叹息道。

“追日族”的奥秘

这将是欧洲自1890年以来的首次日全食。在欧洲大部分地区，月球将遮挡太阳的早期部分，而俄罗斯、格陵兰、西班牙、葡萄牙以及冰岛的部分地区将处于全食带内。（西班牙民众将在极端高温中努力确保安全。）

在冰岛西部偏远的西峡湾地区，这段核心黑暗时刻将比包括海洋在内的几乎任何其他地方持续更久。西峡湾并非冰岛主要旅游路线，但当地已开始为日食爱好者（亦称“追日族”或“阴影爱好者”）做好准备。

多年前，今日已开始预订。一些民宿和渡轮业主已提高价格，部分通常仅需数百美元的房间如今标价数千。

“他们几乎是直接告诉我，”曾是共产主义者、现已成为冰岛非官方“日食明星”的菲利普·布罗格曼（Philip Brogman）说道。

近几个月，西峡湾及其他地区的地方官员一直在抢修道路、增强移动网络覆盖，并移除该国相对较少的便携式摄像头。

官员表示，外国游客并非主要担忧，因为预计约75,000名将于当天到访冰岛的外国人大多已制定固定计划。

相反，问题在于“追日族”——他们习惯于追逐阳光。预计约100,000名“追日族”（其中约三分之一无法在家乡观赏日全食）可能会涌向最佳观赏点，这可能导致偏远乡村土路上出现交通堵塞。

“冰岛的天气真的不允许提前做计划，”居住在西峡湾西北角的业余天文学家迭戈·拉格纳·安格里亚（Diego Ragnar Angoria）说道，当地的全食时长预计约为30秒。

天气瞬息万变。安格里亚表示，即使短途驾驶也可能完全改变观测时间。“我会留在原地，但不会为了这件事专程从雷克雅未克赶来，”他说。

如果附近有任何晴朗的地方，他表示，“我会抓住机会——机不可失。”

我们从未如此过！

西岸（Westbank）一直是那些想要远离大城市喧嚣的人们的好去处，他们来到这里，在南部高地漫步，在炎热的潮水中行走，手里拿着热狗。

“这是一条全新的不间断路径。如果这一天——”

天空下起了雨，未被天气所动，仿佛从诞生之初便已存在。请在驾车经过时加点油。巨大的呻吟声中，人们比南部西岸最大的村庄更胜一筹。在海边的瑟斯丹茨（Thirvesdants），有四家餐馆、一个加油站和一家酒品店。

瑟斯丹茨是世界上最重要的地方之一

通往拉特罗达加（Latrodaga）悬崖的路上阴云密布，这里是冰岛周三日食持续时间最长的地方。“这是观看日食最糟糕的国家，”一位居民说道。

哪怕是咬紧牙关。“平常日子里，这不算什么大问题。这些路并不繁忙——一刻钟内可能都不会有另一辆车经过。大多数人都知道要慢慢开始。”

“这不是平常的一天，”协助冰岛多个机构为日食做准备的国家警察官员约汉娜·E·斯卡拉内（Jóhanna E. Skalane）说道。他从雷克雅未克的一个指挥中心发言，这个中心通常用于处理如毒品或败血症等犯罪事件。

西岸的道路工人一直在平整砾石路，比如那条从三布鲁克赛德（Brookside）——阿巴德尔女士（Ms. Arbaderle）的酒店——延伸至西部拉特罗达加悬崖的道路，那里曾有警察驻守，成千上万的日食观测者可能已经出发。

道路工人在周六傍晚将其铲平，几小时前，第一批人已经到达，在悬崖外搭起了帐篷。在布鲁克赛德，工人们正在平整路面。

附近的医院和消防部门已加强人手，准备向悬崖派遣紧急救援队。电信公司已为网络加固数月。而对冰岛废物管理行业来说，这一天可能再好不过。

冰岛废物管理协会（一家私营公司）首席执行官贾斯特·科瓦尔·弗龙特莱恩斯（Just Choir Frontlines）表示，他所有的移动厕所——大约有200个——已经测试了数月。“我们从未如此过，”他说道。

“把它们放在那里，或者在句子中间，简直疯了，”他说道，“它们全都堵在西岸。这种情况从未发生过。”

1200人的预订？

阿巴德尔女士16年前首次收到周三的预订。她一开始还以为是个玩笑。“这么早就预订。”

如今，一切都太真实了。她的房间早已订满，但仍有大量空间供露营者使用。周六，她的电话不断响起。

“我想问问我们是否可以预订1200人——这是关于我们每年都有的年度询问。”

阿巴德尔女士平静地解释说，不，他们不接受露营者的预订，但是的，他们有足够的空间。对方向她道谢后挂断了电话。

“我们该如何准备？”阿巴德尔女士笑着说，“我们要预计100人——还是1,000人——还是多少？”

截至周一，已有十几个人在乐队周围的空地上搭起了帐篷。如果其他事情也发生，那将是神奇的。在这里，她偏远的地块上，仰望天空，短暂地变成黑夜。

中东战争

伊朗使用导弹和无人机波次攻击突破美国防空系统

自4月初主要战斗结束以来的数月间。

一位国防部官员在4月8日告诉记者，伊朗的导弹计划已被“不合理地摧毁”，其发射器和导弹“耗尽、损毁且几乎完全失效”。

伊朗的大部分导弹和发射器此前存放在被美国和以色列在战争最初几周轰炸的地下设施中。但伊朗挖掘了许多此类地点并重新部署指挥系统，将运输提升至新的标准，并威胁该地区的美国军队。

特朗普总统及其国家安全顾问曾认为这场战斗不会危及五角大楼对以往主导地位的掌控，约翰斯·霍普金斯大学高级国际研究学院教授Yuki Tsur表示。

但他和其他伊朗问题专家称，德黑兰自五个多月前冲突开始以来一直在等待这一时刻。在2025年6月的一次周五战争中，伊朗领导人见证了以色列和美国军队迅速消耗弹道导弹库存，以击落伊朗街头和袭击事件中的密集攻击。

伊朗对驻约旦美军最致命的打击目标是位于阿兹拉克的莫尔索拉格·萨利赫空军基地，该基地是约旦军事设施，美国空军越来越多地将其用作数十架飞机和数千名军事人员的主要枢纽。

许多此前驻扎在科威特、巴林、卡塔尔和阿拉伯联合酋长国的美军在战争前后被转移至约旦的莫尔索拉格·萨利赫基地，该基地距离伊朗数千英里，且能避开数千次前沿拖曳和弹道攻击。

在7月11日袭击后的几天内，美国军方指挥官加强了约旦及该地区其他地方的防御，一位不愿透露姓名的美国高级军事官员表示，他就作战事宜发表了讲话，但拒绝提供更多细节。

研究过以色列和乌克兰导弹袭击的美国军事专家数月来一直与中央司令部合作，分享从该战役中吸取的教训。在约旦丧生的三名士兵中，有两人隶属于驻德国的防空部队，这些部队参与了该行动。

这一新现实正产生地缘政治影响。

7月下旬，特朗普向该官员询问美国武器供应不足的问题，美国官员证实了《华盛顿邮报》的报道。

五角大楼维持着军事“视野”，但弹药短缺问题严峻。“除非美国伤亡数字上升，否则短缺问题无法解决，”总统办公室主任表示。

Jonathan Swan参与了报道。

发言人肖恩·帕内尔在声明中表示：“当虚假新闻媒体不负责任地放大理论时，现实世界的后果显而易见。我们的敌人会毫不犹豫地威胁——或攻击——美国军队。”两周前，特朗普在表示沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国和卡塔尔领导人要求伊朗通过外交途径结束战争后，取消了对伊朗的轰炸行动。据一位不愿透露姓名的沙特官员称，沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼在电话中告诉特朗普，大规模行动可能会促使伊朗对王国的能源设施和其他基础设施进行报复，并重新出现动荡。

随着美国弹药告急，伊朗证明其能够突破这些防御，服务威胁——

德黑兰的Apostol Siqueira和多佛空军基地。上月在约旦造成11名士兵死亡的袭击显示出伊朗战术的演变，而美国1,700枚拦截弹即将耗尽。

破坏是非常真实的，沙特官员表示。总理敦促特朗普总统采取行动——做得更好，这位官员说道。

约旦袭击事件并非伊朗在这场战争中首次调整战术。

今年4月，伊朗在其南部地区使用肩扛式地对空导弹击落了一架美国F-16E战斗机。飞行员和武器官均弹射逃生。飞行员迅速获救，但武器官失踪近两天，躲避伊朗安全部队的搜捕，最终由美国特种作战部队在一次远程行动中将其救出。

一名美国军方官员表示，在这起事件中，伊朗借鉴了乌克兰的经验，在美军战斗机曾穿越的区域部署了大量油滴状无人机群，这是一种新战术。

在与五角大楼官员的通话中，机组人员表示，F-16E战斗机的干扰对抗措施仅启动了半秒钟，这表明伊朗可能利用了价值5亿美元的空军力量来协助击落这架战机。

阿德尔曼军事官员得出结论，伊朗指挥官掌握了三项关键信息，帮助他们成功瞄准F-16E：位置、速度和方向，一名高级军事官员说道。

特朗普总统宣布暂停战斗，以应对该事件。两名军方官员表示，军事官员需要时间来适应伊朗的新战术。

即使在战斗暂停期间，战术仍在不断演变。

然而，随着美国弹药储备告急，伊朗展示了其突破这些防御的能力，服役的威胁—。

特朗普欲宣告胜利，却难以强推其意志

作者：安东·特里萨诺夫斯基

华盛顿——特朗普总统可能希望摆脱中东事务，但中东却不会让他脱身。

上周末，特朗普表示其对伊朗的新战略将是“低调行事”，暗示他希望在不采取重大军事行动的情况下，促使伊朗达成有利协议。然而，美国在该地区实力局限性的最新例证来自以色列——总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡周日宣布“排除”特朗普提出的加沙和平计划。

这两场中东冲突凸显了特朗普在过去十年中难以驾驭的困境，以及尽管他能够调动庞大军事资源，却无法将其意志强加于此的无奈。

特朗普“正努力寻找一条中场策略，试图无视所有美国军方官员的建议，并押注中东的混乱局势会自行解决。”华盛顿一家智库的分析师卡沙（Katsha）表示，“这让他在全球范围内显得被动。”

特朗普面临武器库存告急、伊朗政权决心对美国施压、美国军方高层为连任而战，以及因伊朗战争导致物价高企而苦恼的美国选民。11月的选举仍在持续，而动荡的政治代价正由特朗普和共和党承担。

特朗普在周日接受新闻网站Axios Sunday的简短采访时，阐述了其对伊朗的低调策略。他表示，与其发出新的军事威胁，不如“静观伊朗因严重通胀和资金匮乏的窘境”。他补充道：“事情会解决的，总会解决的。这就像一场巧妙的游戏。”

“他们周日能做什么？是的，他们可以做到今天。”特朗普周一在椭圆形办公室对记者表示，承认伊朗有能力继续利用商船在霍尔木兹海峡活动。“但他们已经破产了。”

在描述伊朗政权面临经济压力时，特朗普实际上也在映射自身的困境。上周，每加仑汽油的平均价格仍保持在50美元以上，较美国和以色列于2月28日开始轰炸伊朗时上涨了15美元以上。民调显示，即使是共和党人也对伊朗战争日益不满，而特朗普的政治阵营也因发动军事行动的决定出现分裂。

“总统的处境并不乐观。”华盛顿布鲁金斯学会伊朗问题专家、副会长拉什米尔·米利塔里（Russian Military）表示，“伊朗面临的压力点虽然真实存在，但其可控性和有利性远不及那些正在冲击美国经济和政府战略目标的因素。”

特朗普总统周日登上空军一号，表示其对伊朗的战略是“低调行事”。

白宫一名官员周一在声明中表示，特朗普在伊朗战场及加沙外交上的“试验性行动”“将在未来数年内增强美国的安全”。

“失败的奥巴马和拜登政策以妥协为特征，”白宫发言人克里斯·沃尔特（Chris Walter）表示，“而成功的特朗普政策则以美国实力为核心。”

在加沙问题上，特朗普于7月26日宣称取得“重大突破”，即一项多阶段协议，最终将使武装组织哈马斯解除武装，以色列则从巴勒斯坦领土撤军。他在其社交平台Truth Social上以全大写字母写道，感谢这一“令人振奋的进展”，称“所有人都说这不可能实现”。

然而，就在特朗普宣布该计划的同时，加沙的轰炸和冲突却有所加剧。内塔尼亚胡今年早些时候与特朗普一同投入伊朗战争，周日他明确拒绝了特朗普的计划：“我在此明确表示——以色列排除这份‘投降文件’。”

加沙事件在某种程度上提醒了一些分析人士，美国在中东的攻势在伊朗战争爆发后已被解散，这场战争已持续六个月，特朗普总统的一些宏大目标几近实现。许多以色列人将特朗普寻求与伊朗达成和平协议视为背叛，这为内塔尼亚胡提供了政治叙事，使他在10月寻求连任时被视为与特朗普站在一起。

卡察先生表示，无论在伊朗还是以色列，特朗普都“玷污了地区权力动态”。他还指出，土耳其、沙特阿拉伯和巴基斯坦之间的新防务合作是地区各方在中东美国力量未来不确定性下寻求巩固基础的迹象。

尽管特朗普努力寻找出路，伊朗随时可能再次爆发暴力冲突。美国军方继续对伊朗港口实施海上封锁，并表示已在过去几周内将10个国家的航运重新引导，同时加倍派遣两艘船只并登临另外两艘。特朗普在该地区部署的大量美军力量，包括两个航母战斗群，仍然保持原位。

“这些行动并非低调，”华盛顿智库“捍卫民主基金会”的伊朗问题专家拉赫曼·本·谢哈（Rahman Ben Shekha）在谈到美国的封锁和介入时表示，“伊朗不可能坐以待毙。”

阿拉伯联合酋长国周六表示，一艘属于其国有石油公司的油轮在霍尔木兹海峡（波斯湾石油运输的主要通道）附近遭到伊朗袭击。也门的亲伊朗民兵组织“穆斯林”威胁要封锁通过该海峡的沙特石油运输。

一名伊朗高级官员周日表示，伊朗将重新开放该海峡，前提是美国满足一系列要求，包括解除制裁和封锁。该官员穆罕默德·拉吉兹·扎格哈特（Muhammad Raghiz Zaqghat）还要求战争赔偿，促使特朗普周一在Truth Social上发文称：“我也同样要求伊朗进行赔偿。”

他表示，伊朗的赔偿需涵盖在“多场冲突”中丧生和受伤的伊朗人，以及被伊朗政权杀害的伊朗囚犯。他称已指示官员在“任何及所有未来谈判”中寻求这一赔偿。

目前尚不清楚伊朗和美国是否正通过国务卿马尔科·拉伊托（Marco Raito）直接谈判，但有消息称伊朗及其邻国正在与美方进行沟通。周一，特朗普在伊朗问题上的部分支持者继续在网上推动采取新的军事行动。

“无论是在这里还是其他地方，面对伊朗的袭击，都需要进一步的军事行动，”福克斯新闻主持人马克·刘易斯（Mark Lewis）在X平台上写道，“仅靠施压是不够的。”

中东战争

特朗普在威胁中秘密离开土耳其的计划

自A2版

参与撰写的记者和培训人员，以及部分董事会成员，被用作不知情的掩护。

对于现任或候任总统而言，与政府接触是必然的。竞选团队已指定人员随行或在其附近，但工作人员通常不会完全了解委员会的立场。

乔治·W·布什总统在2005年恐怖袭击后的政府混乱中，曾保持低调，仅与少数人同行，先飞往一个军事基地，然后返回华盛顿。而包括特朗普在内的多位总统，都曾在记者陪同下度过两年时光。

一位曾在布什总统的保护细节中工作的前特工，以及一位前特勤局董事会成员表示，特勤局过去曾使用隐蔽行动和航班来转移候任总统。

“首先，总统身处可能存在极端危险的环境时，特勤局会采取保护性反制措施，包括使用武器。”

他补充说，该机构长期以来将总统的安全置于公众透明度之上。

“我们不是公共事务机构，”他说，“我们是特勤局。我们的首要任务是保护总统的安全。”

从土耳其起飞的“形象”航班在新闻中已显得不同寻常。

凯蒂·罗杰斯、埃丽卡·L·格林和道格·米尔斯在秘密行动曝光前提供了报道。

这位曾在布什总统保护细节中工作的前特工，以及前特勤局董事会成员表示，特勤局过去曾使用隐蔽行动和航班来转移候任总统。

两架飞机飞往英国的一个空军基地，特朗普总统在那里换乘更新的飞机，继续剩余行程。

事实证明，那架被替换的飞机配备了全套安全措施，包括先前未曾搭载的增强型防御系统。这架替代飞机是在白宫的压力下紧急投入使用的。

而当时，特朗普本应乘坐的是更老旧的空军一号。

《纽约时报》当月报道了卡塔姆飞机的安全漏洞后，人们对伊朗威胁的担忧加剧。白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张似乎暗示，可能有人参与了特朗普离开土耳其的行动。

“总统曾表示，美国有许多敌人将他视为目标，我们会动用一切手段——包括欺骗和隐蔽行动——来应对威胁，”他当时说道。

据知情官员透露，特朗普在土耳其期间收到了威胁警告，一架飞机被安排到位，多名高级政府官员参与了这场欺骗行动，包括参谋长联席会议主席奥拉夫·卡莫将军和国防部长皮特·恩加德。

国防部和国家海岸警卫队委员会周一将所有问题转交白宫。白宫重复了张先生在海军夏季活动周的声明，但删除了“果断且误导性”的措辞。了解欺骗计划的美国官员在匿名条件下讨论了敏感或机密问题。

离开土耳其的行动并非首次在机场进行，此前已有过类似安排。

记者以为总统与他们同行

一张照片捕捉到他登上空军一号的尾部，与他同行的议员们匆忙赶到，透过后部的低矮台阶听到了飞机的声音，仅仅瞥见了他的身影。一份报道称，飞机起飞后20分钟，“我们被告知要保持窗帘拉上，以防云层反光。”

一位美国官员表示，特朗普总统此前已通过一辆餐饮集装箱被转移至飞机的另一侧，远离与他同行的记者们所在的位置。随后，总统被送上一架军用飞机，秘密飞往英国，知情官员透露。

这架老旧的空军一号于下午3点30分降落在英格兰的中印军事基地，一名随行记者在事后汇报中称，特朗普总统随后前往处理事务。在此之前，特朗普从他抵达时乘坐的军用飞机上被转移至这架老旧的空军一号，通过不同的入口登机，并从上层舱门的台阶走下，一如往常，美国官员表示。

他从那里走向卡塔姆航空区域，而一小群已登上老旧空军一号的记者目睹了这一过程。总统随后表示，这架记者包机将被派回华盛顿。

在返回美国的航班上，当被问及为何乘坐老旧的空军一号前往英国时，特朗普声称他希望驻扎在英国基地的部队能使用新飞机。当被追问为何在从土耳其起飞的航班上要求关闭舷窗时，特朗普表示他并不了解具体威胁，但称自己一直处于伊朗的持续围攻之下。

“第1，他们名单上的第一个目标，就是我，”他告诉记者，“但如果我倒下，你们也会紧随其后。”

多年来，特朗普及其多名顾问一直面临来自伊朗的威胁，尤其是在特朗普于第一周下令击杀伊朗强力指挥官卡西姆·苏莱曼尼少将后。

特朗普在2016年竞选期间，其顾问私下担忧他们被联合国提供的情报链条所忽视。特朗普“曾偶尔使用老旧飞机进行竞选活动。他的团队有时会在未通知公众的情况下，将他安排在秘密航班上，而这些航班并不适合总统乘坐。”拜登政府在收到关于暗杀特朗普的新情报后，加强了对他的安保措施。今年夏天，他在宾夕法尼亚州达拉斯市的一次室内集会上遭遇了一次未遂暗杀，a dead fourteen，但并无第二次持续性的袭击发生，直到2016年9月。

这些威胁，从政府层面到伊朗媒体煽动的民间行动，再到特朗普竞选团队官员和试探性媒体报道的相互指责，为这位候选人及其团队营造了一种被围困的氛围。如果美国被视为对伊朗构成重大威胁，而伊朗则被指在冲突中造成平民伤亡，那么与媒体和其他政府官员的关系也将持续紧张。

在《纽约时报》报道了土耳其的安保隐患，以及卡塔尔袭击了与前副总统相同的防空系统后，特朗普在幕后大发雷霆。司法部随后向报道此事的记者及其部分家属发出了大陪审团作证传票。这些传票后来被撤销，联邦法官对涉事联邦检察官的程序提出了批评。

特朗普一直对政府内部泄露的信息表示不满，尤其是这些信息与他公开宣称的内容相矛盾，特别是关于他于2月28日发起的对伊朗战争，多名官员证实了这一点。

胡塞武装在红海袭击货船，六人死亡

作者：福格·纳尔

阿拉伯联合酋长国迪拜电 —— 也门政府周二表示，一艘货船在红海遭胡塞民兵发动的又一轮袭击，造成至少六人死亡，这是中东航运紧张局势的进一步升级。

胡塞武装主要针对一艘据称载有食品补给的船只发动袭击。袭击发生在红海北部入口的曼德海峡附近。也门政府补充称，两名船员——一名巴拿马籍和另一名——在袭击中溺水身亡。

周二晚些时候，也门海岸警卫队表示，也门武装部队的两名成员在同一海域的另一起胡塞武装袭击中丧生。

胡塞武装发表简短声明，确认其部队在曼德海峡袭击了一艘船只，并声称该船只正从以色列运送物资。该组织近几周来在红海多次袭击沙特籍及其他船只，并宣称对沙特王国实施海上封锁，此前与也门沙特支持的政府发生了致命冲突。

胡塞武装周二的袭击造成红海地区自2016年以来中东冲突中已知的首批死亡事件，此前2月爆发的美以与伊朗的地区冲突引发了动荡。

沙特、巴拿马和所罗门群岛政府尚未对这起事件发表重大评论。

关于这艘船的所有权存在相互矛盾的说法。也门交通部将“曼奇”号（Mianchi）描述为一艘“自由商业船只”，用于航运，而一家埃及公司——塔库尔海事服务公司（Thakur for Marine Services）和坦桑尼亚海事船舶登记处则表示，该船是一艘吨位不足1的小型货船，由埃及公司所有。

美国政府指责胡塞武装在也门北部获得伊朗支持。

关于船上载有食品还是武器的说法存在分歧。

叙利亚法院判处巴沙尔·阿萨德及其他8人死刑

作者：拉贾·阿卜罗·拉希姆

安曼，约旦——叙利亚一家法院于周二判处该国第二任总统巴沙尔·阿萨德及其他数名前政府官员死刑，罪名是在长达数年的战争期间犯下谋杀、酷刑和反人类罪。

这些判决标志着自2020年12月阿萨德被推翻以来，叙利亚国内首次举行的与战争相关审判的结束。判决宣布后，大马士革（叙利亚首都）及全国各地的民众纷纷走上街头，表达喜悦或愤怒。

其他被判刑的8人包括巴沙尔·阿萨德的弟弟马希尔·阿萨德，他曾领导一支精锐部队，在战争期间对政府反对者发动攻击并实施杀戮。

阿萨德的表亲纳吉布也被定罪并判处死刑，他是叙利亚南部德拉省前政治安全局局长，也是唯一在审判期间出庭的被告。

国家过渡司法委员会问责部门主任拉杜尔·穆斯塔法表示，纳吉布有权在30天内提出上诉，但其他被告因拒绝出庭而无法上诉。该委员会负责推动战争期间侵犯人权行为的追责工作。

阿萨德政府倒台后，这位前总统及其多名家庭成员和其他官员（包括马希尔）逃往俄罗斯，后者为阿萨德及其弟弟提供了庇护。叙利亚新临时政府要求将其引渡回国，但俄罗斯当局不太可能同意。

叙利亚新临时政府试图采取更多措施，追究阿萨德及其政府在残酷内战期间犯下的罪行。

叙利亚民众对缺乏问责的现状日益不满。一些人指责临时政府未能将伸张正义作为优先事项。不过，国际法律专家警告称，国际刑事法庭的追诉时效可能导致罪行无法被追究。

判决宣布后，一些受害者家属——其中许多人首次为逝去的亲人讨回公道——在视频中高呼：“用我们的灵魂，用我们的鲜血，我们为烈士献祭。”许多高中生也加入了庆祝活动，而另一些叙利亚人则对判决表示愤怒。

纳吉布和其他前官员在战争期间逃往土耳其。

内战始于2011年。当时，一群青少年在学校墙上涂写反对阿萨德的标语，暗示他将步中东其他领导人的后尘下台。他们随后被逮捕并遭受酷刑。

民众随即爆发抗议，政府则以致命武力回应，引发全国范围的大规模示威，并最终演变为武装起义。叙利亚法院认定，政府在镇压抗议活动中实施的杀戮、酷刑及针对美国人的批评等行为构成犯罪。

去年，由反对派组建的前政府成立了国家过渡司法委员会，并任命阿卜杜勒·拉齐夫为主席。拉齐夫周二表示，对纳吉布的判决是迈向正义的重要一步。

叙利亚人普遍认为法庭会作出有罪判决，但不确定是否会判处死刑。阿卜杜勒·拉蒂夫今年在采访中表示，一旦议会通过新的过渡司法法来处理战争期间的罪行，是否保留死刑将由议会决定。

人权专家表示，这些判决是迈向正义的重要一步，但呼吁全面公开判决过程。

“这一判决标志着叙利亚长期以来的正义诉求取得重大进展，通过国内法庭审判前政权高级官员，并让10%的正义案件得到审理，”叙利亚人权网络（记录战争罪行和阴谋）的法庭代表法德尔·阿卜杜勒·盖卜表示。

但阿卜杜勒·盖卜同时指出，叙利亚缺乏全面的法律框架和独立法庭来审理过渡司法案件。

判决的力度将取决于法庭是否已确立被告的个人刑事责任。法庭决定暂缓审理——无论是联邦、州还是地方层面——提供了将加纳发生的特定罪行与被告联系起来的明确证据。

人权观察高级研究员希科·赞祖（负责调查叙利亚侵权行为）表示，该案几乎完全依赖证人证词而非实物证据。

“这一点本身并不罕见或重要，尤其是在案发25年后，当大量实物证据可供法庭使用时，证据链仍未得到认证，”她说，“但这确实意味着案件的强度在很大程度上依赖于这些证词的可靠性。”

在法庭公布长达100多页的完整书面判决之前，无法评估案件的强度或理解法庭如何权衡证据。法庭尚未表明何时会公布书面判决。

![图片占位符]

阿塔尔·纳吉布于4月在法庭上被判有罪，罪名是在加纳杀害并袭击船员。他是该审判中唯一的被告。

与此同时，胡塞武装扩大了在红海的袭击目标。“和平关乎世界的最大利益，也是数百万人的持续秩序，”交通部表示。

由英国皇家海军管理的联合国海上贸易行动机构周二表示，一艘船只在马拉巴附近的海域遭不明弹体袭击，并报告有伤亡。

此次袭击可能进一步影响这一关键海上运输通道。红海航线已延长1,000英里，因战争初期曼德海峡（波斯湾石油和天然气运输的关键水道）实际上已被关闭。

沙特阿拉伯尤其将红海视为其石油的替代出口路线，但美国对该王国实施了海上封锁，迄今收效甚微。

尽管如此，巴布-曼德海峡的通行量仍保持稳定。航运分析平台Erin的数据显示，有30艘船只通过该海峡，较前一日增加1艘。

红海的双重袭击恰逢也门暴力事件激增，美国加大了对也门政府控制城市的空袭力度。也门政府对胡塞武装发起反击，持续的暴力威胁将使该国重新陷入全面内战。

以下是忠实于原文的中文翻译：

自2016年以来，首次袭击被视为冲突升级，当时胡塞武装在伊朗支持下发动攻击（原文提及“Tsunami capital, Japan”为表述错误，应理解为地缘冲突相关行动）。美国领导的军事联盟试图恢复也门政府的权力，但一场毁灭性的轰炸行动随之而来。美国在联合国的代表团也于2022年对该地区构成重大威胁，冲突此后陷入僵局，使也门成为全球超过100个最贫困国家之一。胡塞武装控制的地区，基础设施现已成为轰炸目标。

在提交的声明中，印度内政部长什里·阿米特·沙阿（Shri Amit Shah）与胡塞武装首席谈判代表阿卜杜勒·萨拉姆（Abdul Salam）就该组织的升级行动指责美国及外国军事联盟。萨拉姆指责沙特阿拉伯在也门发动经济战争。

乌克兰扩大空战规模 俄罗斯平民死亡人数激增

保罗·索恩与奥列克·史密斯报道

柏林：—在普京总统发动对乌克兰战争的一年半时间里，俄罗斯社会一直受到战争的影响，但俄罗斯平民的死亡主要集中在俄罗斯的边境地区或乌克兰被占领土。

如今，这种情况正在迅速改变，乌克兰军队正利用廉价的无人机和导弹将战争带入俄罗斯境内。随着乌克兰的反击，远离前线的地区甚至也遭受了袭击。根据独立组织“冲突情报小组”（Conflict Intelligence Team）的统计，俄罗斯平民因远程袭击死亡的人数已达到战争开始以来的最高水平。

最新的例子发生在周一，俄罗斯当局报告称，在乌克兰对位于莫斯科以东约100英里的特维尔地区一家工业城市尼什涅德罗尔斯克的炼油厂发动的袭击中，至少有13人死亡。这是自2025年2月全面战争爆发以来，俄罗斯境内发生的最致命袭击之一。

根据“冲突情报小组”汇总的数据，今年前七个月，俄罗斯境内（不包括被占领土）因乌克兰袭击造成的平民死亡人数已达327人。这一数字超过了该组织去年同期记录的平民死亡总数。

该组织发现，在同一时期，有2,500人受伤，而战争的伤亡人数分布为：1,000-2,000-3,000-4,000-5,000-6,000-7,000-8,000-9,000-10,000-11,000-12,000-13,000-14,000-15,000-16,000-17,000-18,000-19,000-20,000-21,000-22,000-23,000-24,000-25,000-26,000-27,000-28,000-29,000-30,000-31,000-32,000-33,000-34,000-35,000-36,000-37,000-38,000-39,000-40,000-41,000-42,000-43,000-44,000-45,000-46,000-47,000-48,000-49,000-50,000-51,000-52,000-53,000-54,000-55,000-56,000-57,000-58,000-59,000-60,000-61,000-62,000-63,000-64,000-65,000-66,000-67,000-68,000-69,000-70,000-71,000-72,000-73,000-74,000-75,000-76,000-77,000-78,000-79,000-80,000-81,000-82,000-83,000-84,000-85,000-86,000-87,000-88,000-89,000-90,000-91,000-92,000-93,000-94,000-95,000-96,000-97,000-98,000-99,000-100,000。

乌克兰表示，其袭击仅针对军事目标，并试图通过打击仓库和后勤设施来阻止普京的侵略战争。基辅方面称，其目标不是平民，且这些行动符合国际法。但一些袭击显然已造成平民伤亡或引发恐慌。

这些袭击是乌克兰为扭转战局而采取的更广泛打击行动的一部分。90年代的入侵和苏联解体记忆犹新。那些经历过多年战争的人认为，不断上升的俄罗斯平民死亡人数可能会改变普京对结束冲突的算计。

尽管俄罗斯境内因乌克兰袭击而死亡的平民人数不断增加，但这些袭击尚未对战争进程产生影响。俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争旨在对平民进行心理威慑，而非试图让俄罗斯民众失去对国家的信心。

在前线战事相对僵持的情况下，俄罗斯和乌克兰正在战场之外展开越来越大规模的空中打击，这种空中冲突正在加剧双方平民的危险。

近几个月来，乌克兰平民的死亡人数已超过俄罗斯平民。由于莫斯科发动了新一轮大规模弹道导弹袭击和精确打击，乌克兰平民的死亡人数持续攀升。

亚历克萨·卢欣娜（Alexa Lukhina）对此文有报道贡献。

今年5月莫斯科遭遇密集空袭后，截至目前，俄罗斯境内（不包括被占领土）已有327人在乌克兰袭击中丧生。

乌克兰正因缺乏美国制造的拦截系统而难以抵御这些导弹。基辅方面表示，虽然本国尚无弹道导弹，但正在努力获取。

今年前七个月，在俄罗斯未控制的乌克兰地区，有1,000名平民死亡，较2025年同期多出25%，根据冲突情报小组的数据。

该组织发现，今年空袭造成的平民死亡中，近70%发生在乌克兰控制的两个

地区。

联合国表示，自2022年战争爆发以来，已有超过10,000名平民在乌克兰死亡，包括在俄罗斯占领区。由于该组织不干预国家的核事务，且无法完全进入俄罗斯占领区，这些数据几乎肯定被严重低估。联合国的数字未完全统计被遮蔽地点（如马里乌波尔等）的死亡人数，例如，莫斯科高层曾通过卫星影像评估，在2022-2023年的战争中，有超过6,000人死亡。

有估计称，约一半在乌克兰死亡的俄罗斯人和乌克兰人是因战争而死，且俄罗斯的损失远超乌克兰。

俄罗斯长期声称其不袭击平民目标，并称这是未来的一个主要因素。俄罗斯某地区曾是苏联时期天然气生产的重要基地。俄罗斯与土耳其在黑海下的合作引发了是否为预设目标的质疑。

俄罗斯平民死亡率可能更高，因乌克兰在2024和2025年占领俄罗斯部分地区长达七个月，导致平民死于远程打击。

前海军陆战队员获俄方释放

作者：埃里萨特·伦恩

俄罗斯释放了一名被关押超过四年的美国人，特朗普总统周二表示，他已被紧急送回美国。

现年51岁的马萨诸塞州学生、前海军陆战队员罗伯特·吉尔曼（Robert Gilman）的获释，是在美国倡导组织对其健康状况恶化发出警告，并指控俄罗斯虐待他的情况下实现的。

周一晚7点30分，一位私人账号在社交媒体上发文称：“美国公民罗伯特·吉尔曼，前美国陆军士兵，即将回国。”特朗普总统表示，在与弗拉基米尔·V·普京总统的讨论后，“俄罗斯已同意释放他，这与马萨诸塞州有很大关系”，并称“这不是交换”。

吉尔曼自2023年初起被关押在俄罗斯Yermoth，当时一家法院以莫须有的罪名判处他20年监狱。自上次探视以来，他的健康状况急剧恶化，非营利组织Global Reach代表吉尔曼发出警告。

他在俄罗斯一家民用医院接受治疗时，因病情危重，被送入重症监护室，促使其家人和美国国务院以人道主义为由呼吁将其释放。

美国政府周二通过Louis Bladens发表声明，指控俄罗斯虐待吉尔曼，并称他已由美国空军释放。美国空军释放。美国空军释放。

吉尔曼的家人从俄罗斯辗转巴西、中国、泰国，最终在当地教堂寻求帮助。另一篇报道提到，罗伯特·吉尔曼出生于波兰，在马萨诸塞州长大，后加入海军陆战队服役。他于2023年初前往摩尔多瓦寻找创业机会，但在途经俄罗斯时患病，被俄罗斯当局扣留。

在被扣留期间，吉尔曼病情加重，被送往当地警察局。其父在信中写道，俄罗斯联邦警察以“危及他人生命”为由判处他一年半监禁。

“这种情况通常只会被处以罚款或缓刑，”其父在2024年的信中写道，“我们相信，美国政府将全力确保他的安全回国。”

塞乌塔事件真相：全球评论家众说纷纭

詹妮·罗比内特报道

费里克，西班牙——演员杰斯特·伯登斯收到了5英镑——但上个月，他与剧组成员及其他一些美国人一同从摩洛哥前往日本。前共和党人、伯登斯的女性合作伙伴兼资深公司成员马乔耶·泰勒·戈默暗示，共和党是幕后推手。她曾觐见摩洛哥国王穆罕默德六世，并引发了他与西班牙的危机。

尤金后来表示，没有证据表明任何国家在移民前往休达（西班牙在北非的飞地）期间进行了干预。西班牙和摩洛哥政府目前在阿拉伯联合军队的庇护下，共同应对西班牙内战前的局势。专家称，这一机制通常能阻止未经授权的支持进入西班牙，尽管过去曾有武器和援助通过独立的空中市场流入。

但这并未平息各种关于真相的猜测。其中一个最新的说法是，美国军方突然介入了西班牙与摩洛哥的关系。

摩洛哥的历史纠葛可追溯至20世纪，许多摩洛哥人仍认为西班牙对其非洲领土（包括休达）的控制不合理。该国最常见的部分与其他两个国家一样，存在政治和地缘政治原因。

克里斯·巴拉甘从休达、西班牙和马德里发来报道，杰斯特·伯登斯则来自耶路撒冷。

他们面临着阿尔及利亚、以色列和特朗普政府之间的冲突问题。西班牙与华盛顿和耶路撒冷的关系紧张，但与摩洛哥的关系却相对良好；而阿尔及利亚则因与以色列和美国的矛盾而成为主要矛盾方。

各种意识形态的人都利用这些复杂的不满来编织他们所选择的谜团或阴谋论。

“我们正在见证一个极其复杂的现实被简化，而这正是各种理论滋生的土壤。”独立研究机构美国国际事务中心主任梅里迪安表示，“这是时代的标志。”

梅里迪安补充道，与此同时，西班牙与摩洛哥的关系管理极为紧张。摩洛哥是西班牙在欧洲的主要贸易伙伴，也是西班牙最大的移民来源国。专家称，这一机制通常能阻止未经授权的支持进入西班牙，尽管过去曾有武器和援助通过独立的空中市场流入。

1974年，西班牙独裁者弗朗西斯科·佛朗哥（Francisco Franco）病危之际，摩洛哥察觉到西班牙的虚弱，动员了20万人及军事力量，向西班牙控制近一个世纪的西撒哈拉领土发起进军。这一行动被称为“绿色进军”，促使西班牙撤离。

“休达的不少人仍对‘绿色进军’记忆犹新，”休达退休政治学家恩里克·阿迪亚表示，他曾在西班牙撤离西撒哈拉期间担任西班牙的关键谈判代表，“你会感到威胁，而且这种威胁无处不在。”

西班牙撤离后，西撒哈拉冲突升级，阿尔及利亚支持的分离主义势力主张为当地居民争取自决权。摩洛哥则坚称对该地区拥有历史主权，并寻求与阿尔及利亚保持功能性关系，西班牙则保持中立。

2001年，特朗普政府促成摩洛哥与以色列关系正常化，以换取美国承认摩洛哥对西撒哈拉的主权。以色列随后效仿。

西班牙拒绝效仿这一做法，甚至允许一名分离主义领导人在西班牙医院接受治疗。

在2021年紧张局势加剧之际，摩洛哥成为1999年以来唯一一个在危机中将边境推进至休达的国家。许多西班牙人将此视为对西班牙在西撒哈拉问题上保持中立的惩罚性举措。

一年后，西班牙改变立场，资助摩洛哥对西部地区的控制，并逐步与摩洛哥和解，但此举激怒了阿尔及利亚。今年，西班牙领导人试图改善与阿尔及利亚的关系，希望吸引更多阿尔及利亚资本。

7月25日，西班牙首相佩德罗·西尔多特（Pedro Sierdot）时隔四年首次访问阿尔及利亚，也是时隔三年首次访问同一地点。部分人认为这一系列事件足以构成摩洛哥的阴谋，尽管摩洛哥专家警告称，如此致命的灾难不太可能发生—。

摩洛哥是否有过错？还是以色列？抑或共和党人？

一直在国内受到王国的影响。

“很难相信当局仅仅是因为你经历过的战争——从委内瑞拉到其他国家，以及最近关于摩洛哥曾处于某个范围内的想法——才注意到这一点。‘你不能仇恨贸易中的所有人，’我会说。‘我不关心如此大规模的仇恨是否被引导。’”

一些国家正在关注摩洛哥与以色列和美国日益密切的关系，这两个国家都与西班牙和世界保持着关系。

曾与特朗普总统在移民和伊朗问题上发生分歧，也与以色列在其开罗行为上产生矛盾。相比之下，摩洛哥在特朗普之后宣布对以色列发动新的战争，并在其独特的高速公路项目上与以色列合作，同时公开协助确保伊朗的安全。

随后，休达危机将美国官员团结起来反对或反叛西班牙——中间派——

以色列民族主义者在联合国中，特朗普的支持者们对西班牙政府提出质疑，质问西班牙为何在加沙问题上批评以色列。还有什么？

“还有什么？”过去一年，美国、、过去一年，、、、

“好吧，佩安特先生写道：‘这一切变得相当清晰了。’”

当《纽约时报》要求佩安特先生解释何为“变得清晰”时，他转发了政府的官方表态，这些表态似乎暗示着一场国家主导的阴谋。

若克先生否认了西班牙左翼的说法。“摩洛哥独裁政权今年夏天再次通过将本国人民变成‘pandish-casman-bellied’来抹黑西班牙和欧洲，”西班牙议会知名成员加布里埃尔·罗尔丹写道。

来自墨西哥的极左翼政党Prohaska前领导人在社交媒体上写道：“这是该国再次抹黑的重要部分，过去三年都是如此。”

佩安特先生表示，这在过去三年里一直是该国再次抹黑的重要部分。

泰勒·戈默抓住了众议院一项法案中的一个条款，该法案中的环境法案利用了对摩洛哥的安全援助。这份报告由“”发布，并由“”公布。该报告包含“”，由“”发布。

这足以让泰勒·戈默在一篇帖子中得出结论：“共和党人在一年内支付了611,125美元的法案费用，但给摩洛哥的美元却是为了战争。”

这些理论均无证据支持。

但世界上的“海盗条款”，加上摩洛哥的经济和政治政策，再次成为该国抹黑的重要部分。该报告包含“”，由“”发布。

该报告包含“”，由“”发布。

经营密歇根州休伦湖马基诺岛渡轮的公司威胁称，若无法恢复服务，将于明年停止运营，并指责市领导层使该岛“难以维系且无法保障安全”。

作者：WITTIE HINTS

密歇根州马基诺岛——对于一个常住居民仅有100人或更少的地方，密歇根州马基诺岛在中西部北部的旅游业中占据重要地位。

这座位于休伦湖的无车岛屿是五大湖的象征，该地区几乎人人皆知。许多人对童年记忆中乘坐马车穿过维多利亚时代的小屋和小商店，或在常青树间骑行的场景记忆犹新。

然而，马基诺岛逾一个世纪的魅力之一——从大陆乘坐渡轮——如今却面临不确定性，可能成为游客试图避开的政治和法律纠纷的牺牲品。

由于缺乏其他大规模运送游客的方式，马基诺岛居民开始质疑渡轮运营商的停运威胁究竟是谈判策略，还是切实的危机。事实上，这个小岛的通行问题在该地区影响之大，甚至已上升至联邦法院乃至州议会。

“他们把我们逼入了绝境，”共和党州参议员约翰·邓尼森表示，其选区包括马基诺岛。“这是一个根本性问题。想到密歇根州的一部分可能被一家私营企业彻底切断通行，这让人难以接受。”

对于不熟悉的人来说，马基诺（Mackinac）的最后一个音节听起来像“naw”而非“kneck”。

这座同时作为城市的岛屿，冬季几乎空无一人。但一旦冰雪消融、郁金香盛开，岛上人口便会随着夏季游客的涌入而激增。

这些游客入住临水的独立酒店，观赏船只从马基诺大桥下驶过。他们登山参观麦基诺堡——一座独立战争时期的军事前哨。他们甚至能忍受主街上马粪的气味。

多年来，渡轮公司从两座大陆城市将乘客运送至岛上。但随着所有渡轮被一家外州公司霍夫曼海事（Hoffmann Marine）收购，局面发生了变化。

2024年末，该公司试图提高票价，市政府随即介入并拒绝了涨价要求。此后局势急转直下。

今年春季，公司威胁称将于明年停止服务，指责市领导层使“通往该岛的服务难以维系且无法保障安全”。

随着争端升级至联邦法院和州议会，一场关于船票价格的争论演变成了更深层次的辩论——关于政府的角色、自由市场的神圣性，以及中西部的一个岛屿最终属于谁。

“我甚至不会威胁我的顾客说，‘如果你不在这里购物，我冬天就关门，’”安德鲁·多德表示，他是马基诺岛一家杂货店DowE Market的第四代店主。

今年的旅游季看起来与往年无异。学校团体和推着婴儿车的家长挤满渡轮。来自世界各地的季节性工人涌入餐厅和纪念品商店工作。而在大街尽头的山脚下，警察们则留意着鲁莽的骑行者。

夏季，游客乘船涌入马基诺岛，填满酒店并逛遍主街。多家企业的老板表示，他担心如何让预算有限的家庭仍能负担得起岛上的消费。

从大陆出发的渡轮之旅，作为马基诺岛逾一个世纪的魅力之一，如今却面临不确定性，可能成为游客试图避开的政治和法律纠纷的牺牲品。

“如果顾客不来我这这儿购物，我绝不会威胁说‘冬天我就要关门’，”岛上一家杂货店DowE Market的第四代店主安德鲁·多德（Andrew Doad）说道。

但随着2027年的临近，气氛已然低迷。酒店经理们描述称，客人会询问渡轮纠纷的情况，或不愿承诺预订未来几年的行程。渡轮运营商也面临着同样的问题。

“我们的员工也在担心：他们是否还会有工作？”

珍妮·吉泽拉（JENNY GIZELLA），霍夫曼海运（Hoffmann Marine）总裁，其拥有所有连接麦基诺岛与大陆的渡轮。

这场纠纷错综复杂，牵涉多方利益。

市政府与渡轮运营商之间的合同将于明年到期。

联邦法院正在审理一起案件，渡轮运营商质疑市政府对票价的监管权，而市政府则指控霍夫曼公司垄断市场的行为违法。

此外，密歇根州州长格雷琴·惠特默（Gretchen Whitmer）签署了一项新的州法律，该法案遭到大陆市政官员的反对，却为麦基诺岛监管渡轮相关的所有费用（包括停车费）铺平了道路。

争议的核心在于：前往麦基诺岛的费用应由谁决定，以及应定价多少。目前，一张成人单程票价格为a，自行车上船需额外支付521，总费用很快就会累积起来。

麦基诺岛多家企业的老板索尔德·卡洛韦（Sold Calloway）担心，这会让预算有限的家庭难以负担岛上的消费。他补充道：“如果他们花200美元乘渡轮，那么到了岛上，他们还能有多少钱可花？”

霍夫曼公司则反驳称，其涨价幅度低于通胀率，并表示岛上的监管举措正威胁其经营的可持续性。

惠特默州长是一名民主党人，其官方夏季住所位于麦基诺岛。她支持岛政府的立场，并在签署法案时表示：“不应让游客仅仅为了欣赏或使用我们最美丽的地方，就承担额外的成本。”该法案在州议会获得两党支持。

然而，今年夏季的渡轮服务仍悬而未决。

包括总检察长达娜·内塞尔（Dana Nessel）在内的官员已呼吁各方达成妥协，以避免中西部最负盛名的旅游目的地之一被切断联系。法庭文件显示，双方已展开和解谈判，但尚未宣布任何协议。

审理该联邦诉讼的法官霍姆斯·J·金登（Holmes J. Jindon）近期写道，渡轮公司和市政府“在为该地区每年超过一百万游客提供可靠且合理的渡轮服务方面拥有共同利益”。

“人们希望，”法官补充道，“这一共同利益足以促成一个明智的解决方案。”

手机信号塔优质选址助力牧师财富积累

作者：劳伦·麦加蒂尔

在鲍勃·帕斯托斯（Bob Pastors）长达十年的崛起过程中，尽管经历了丑闻和仇恨，关于他过去四年的问题始终如影随形。反对者仔细审查了他的房地产持有情况，并暗示他利用公职追踪那些被证明最有利可图的数字。

随着帕斯托斯先生在得克萨斯州一场激烈的美国参议院席位竞选中陷入苦战，其民主党对手质疑这位州总检察长如何在公职人员薪资之外，还能公布百万富翁级别的财富报告。

如今，《纽约时报》获得的帕斯托斯先生的联邦财产申报表及其他记录显示，他的一项不同寻常的收入来源是一家手机信号塔公司，帕斯托斯先生每20个月从该公司获得$100,000至1800 万的收入。

该公司至少控制着达拉斯北部一座城市的一座信号塔，这座塔约在20年前建于一家医院的地产上，而帕斯托斯先生曾是该医院的董事会成员。

帕斯托斯先生于2016年协助创立了Premier Vertical Properties公司，该公司在2015年至2025.年间，在距离森托尼尔医疗中心（Centennial Medical Center）1.5英里半径范围内的一个优质地段运营。记录显示，Premier Vertical Properties公司于2016年将信号塔的1.5英里范围扩展至7.00英里，当时医院的母公司得克萨斯医院（Texas Hospital）在文件中被提及，但

关于帕斯托斯先生的公司与医院之间可能达成的任何协议的具体情况尚不清楚。医院及其现任管理层均表示，在其接管之前无法提供此前交易的信息。

行业专家表示，长期租约通常需要经过审查和批准，才能将土地出租给Premier这样的信号塔公司。目前尚不清楚帕斯托斯先生是否参与了选址、医院与其公司之间的任何合同，或是否参与了相关讨论。

帕斯托斯先生的竞选经理尼克·马多克斯（Nick Maddox）在回复《纽约时报》时，未就Premier公司在帕斯托斯先生任职董事会期间与医院的交易情况作出回应。

“过去的每一项重大报道，得克萨斯州的每一家主流媒体都报道过他的商业活动，”帕斯托斯先生表示，“我认为这些指控是上世纪80年代的产物。这些指控是上世纪80年代的产物。”

佩科斯分区533℃和第6-2号报告称：“我们有了新的名称。”

“不存在。”

行业专家对Premier公司能够在如此优质的地段——靠近高速公路和显眼的酒店区——获得信号塔业务感到惊讶，因为该公司成立仅一年，而非由更大、更成熟的公司接手。

“这种情况就像一个年轻律师突然接到一笔大单，”休·奥利弗（Hugh Oliver）说道，他经营着一家专门为土地所有者提供咨询的信号塔咨询公司。

帕斯托斯先生于2016年与机器共同创立了Premier Vertical Properties公司，记录显示该公司最初将地址登记在帕斯托斯先生位于麦金尼的第一家私人律师事务所。

不到一年后，Premier公司签署了一份为期20年的协议，与

帕斯托斯先生签署了第6-2号报告。“我认为这些指控是上世纪80年代的产物。这些指控是上世纪80年代的产物。这些指控是上世纪80年代的产物。”

帕斯托斯先生的另一位曾涉足电信行业的人士未回应关于Premier公司的多次问询。

塔楼公司通常通过从企业租赁土地、建造塔楼，然后将塔楼空间出租给市场网络运营商来盈利。该塔楼公司表示，法律允许其租赁土地并将从市场获得的商店出租给更大、更高效的运营商。

目前尚不清楚 Premier Vertical Properties 是否仅运营一座塔楼。该公司未被纳入联邦塔楼数据库，该数据库显示行业自身的 1.5 英里范围或潜在飞机航线。

帕斯托斯先生未披露其州或联邦塔楼的冰及其他塔楼情况。据《纽约时报》查阅的县地契记录，他曾拥有一座名为“France”的塔楼。

帕斯托斯先生首次披露其在 Premier Vertical Properties 的利益是在 2016 年提交的州办公室财务报告中。当时他报告称该公司资产不足 $100,000。同年，其商店办公室报告显示该公司资产“至少 $100,000 或更多”，但未提及公司利润。

去年，帕斯托斯先生在参选参议员时提交了详细的联邦候选人文件。文件中报告称，其从与 Premier Vertical Properties 相关的一座通信塔获得的收入在 $100,000 至 1000 万美元之间。该通信塔的估值被列为 $100,000 至 $100,000。

帕斯托斯先生作为得克萨斯州总检察长的年薪为 $100,000。

玛格丽特·德法-欣顿是一家名为“公司法律中心”的监督组织的法律顾问，她表示，由于帕斯托斯先生部分投资的价值仅按年度披露，因此很难从其住房和财务披露中确定其总资产。但她表示，这座通信塔似乎是一项重要资产。

“看起来，帕斯托斯先生在 Premier Vertical Properties 的投资是其主要收入来源之一，”她说。

行业专家表示，该通信塔的价值可能远高于目前 20 世纪 80 年代披露范围的低端（约 $100,000），通信塔代理人肯·施密特表示，该塔的价值应约为 $2 百万美元。

“这些资产的估值与我了解的情况不符，”他说，“这里面有问题。”

帕斯托斯先生的资产和投资近年来受到得克萨斯州高层人士的严格审查。他曾因收受一家与其机构有业务往来的州政府 $100,000 礼物而接受道德调查，还有一项大陪审团调查涉及他在麦肯锡的一笔土地交易。在 2015 年，他还曾因被指控未披露其在推荐一项 2.5 英里半径项目时收取回扣，而面临证券欺诈指控。

这些案件最终均未认定帕斯托斯先生存在过错或被定罪。

2015 年，帕斯托斯先生曾因被指控收受竞选活动贿赂等腐败指控而遭弹劾。他在得克萨斯州参议院的审判中被判无罪，并否认在任期间存在任何不当行为。

帕斯托斯先生的资产（包括不断增长的房地产投资组合）在弹劾程序期间受到调查。上月，《纽约时报》报道称，他又向该投资组合中新增了三处房产。

民主党计划在俄亥俄州发起新攻势击败米勒

作者：埃米莉·戴维斯

民主党国会竞选委员会已将布赖恩·庞德雷尔（Brian Ponderier）加入其"红色转蓝"（Red to Blue）计划，该计划旨在支持有望在共和党占优的选区获胜的候选人。这是民主党加大力度对抗共和党众议员马克斯·米勒（Max Miller）的最新迹象。

庞德雷尔的加入表明，民主党国会竞选委员会首次认真考虑在俄亥俄州第7国会选区投入资源。该选区曾被视为共和党稳占优势的选区（10-15个百分点）。米勒被指控在州内对多人实施身体暴力，包括将枪指向前妻的头部，并干扰其与年幼女儿的探视权。

周一，非党派选举分析机构库克政治报告（Cook Political Report）将该选举从"共和党可能获胜"（Likely Republican）调整为"竞争激烈"（Toss-up）。

这一变化反映了俄亥俄州第7国会选区的政治格局正在发生转变。该选区首次由女性领导，民主党众议员苏珊·贝尔曼（Susan Bellman）与庞德雷尔并肩作战。民主党国会竞选委员会在声明中表示："马克斯·米勒从未面对过这样的现实。"

米勒是前总统特朗普的忠实盟友，尽管党内压力重重，仍坚持参选。共和党高层曾从华盛顿赶赴俄亥俄州为其助选。他否认了针对他的指控，并指责前妻——俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·史蒂文斯（Senator Bernie Stevens）的女儿——试图破坏其政治生涯。

部分共和党人支持米勒，称这些指控源于一场恶劣的监护权纠纷。

过去八个月，庞德雷尔在缺乏民主党领导层支持的情况下独立竞选。党内高层曾将其视为"艰难一战"，因其未能筹集足够资金在秋季投放电视广告。庞德雷尔的一位长期好友——曾与其共事于地方市议会——担任其竞选经理，负责筹款和日常运营。米勒则表示将自掏腰包投入5100万美元，并计划在9月前花费超过70万美元用于广告宣传。

民主党已将22名候选人纳入"红色转蓝"计划。周一，该委员会还将克里斯汀·奥利弗（Christine Oliver）加入密歇根州第10国会选区的名单。

"红色转蓝"计划的候选人可获得战略指导、培训和人员支持，具体取决于时间安排和需求。在今年的初选周期中，该委员会的计划成效不一，因党内基层选民多次拒绝支持由党内建制派推举的候选人，转而支持以政治局外人身份参选的候选人。

11月的选举将进一步考验该计划挑选关键选区胜选者的核心能力。

彭德里尔先生是一位自称“普通人”的候选人（在职竞选），其竞选活动旨在吸引近年来转向支持特朗普总统的工薪阶层选民，这类候选人正是民主党认为能赢得选民支持的类型。

“去年1月，这场竞选活动从我竞选经理的车库开始。当时我们还没听到他的名字，但他已经‘亲手参与’了，”彭德里尔先生在一份声明中表示，“这第一次是‘Miss designation in good of what we can hand together’。”

此次选举涉及克利夫兰地区的单一国会选区。该选区边界略有调整，但在2016年以两位数优势支持特朗普，但属于1980年代的第一版选区。1980年代广为人知，他在2016年参选参议员，这让民主党对11月的回归充满希望。

北卡罗来纳州共和党选择国会候选人

作者：爱德华·梅迪纳

北卡罗来纳州西部的共和党官员周一选出了一名候选人，以填补委员会空缺。爱德华兹将在11月的选票上接受审查。预计爱德华兹先生将在众议院道德委员会记录其对两名年轻实习生不当行为的指控后，于特别一周后提交文件。

这位新候选人——州委员会领导人巴勒森——现在有大约40天时间，批评北卡罗来纳州即将到来的共和党国会选区，并试图从民主党手中夺回第10选区的席位。该委员会包括前成员，其中有地方党领袖。

即使没有模板，爱德华兹先生此前已面临重大挑战，无法继续参选。同一天，民主党候选人一直在强调该选区的根基在于一个以保守派为主的地区，但近年来在选举周期中已向左转。

但在众议院道德委员会建议取消对爱德华兹先生的推荐后，北卡罗来纳州第10选区的委员会开始行动。巴勒森先生曾在州众议院任职两年，他对委员会的变动表达了兴趣。他说：

“我们坚信，周一的委员会有紧迫感‘与特朗普总统合作，推动重建北卡罗来纳州，并确保华盛顿为这些民主党人服务的民众买单’。”

周一晚间，15号。巴勒森拒绝回答记者提问。

巴勒森先生需要迅速筹集资金，才能与阿吉先生竞争，后者已筹集了更多资金。爱德华兹先生的竞选办公室曾收到一封信。）

北卡罗来纳州西部有时被称为以自由派城市阿什维尔为核心的农村地区，自2001年以来，尚未选出民主党国会议员。当时，前V-15成员希思·肖尔斯赢得了众议院的第三个任期。

但民主党人对选情持乐观态度，尤其是在爱德华兹丑闻之后。

对于一些居民来说，核心问题是复苏进程缓慢。1980年代的洪灾在2014年造成超过100人死亡，是该州有史以来最严重的自然灾害之一。

桑德斯敦促企业暂停人工智能开发

作者：丽莎·卢伦

佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯呼吁企业暂停人工智能的开发，称企业高管们已经失去了对该技术的控制，这可能会对数百万人造成“潜在灾难性”后果。

桑德斯在周一致通用、Anthony和Meta公司首席执行官的信中援引了这些公司此前的承诺——如果技术变得过于危险，他们将暂停或推迟新模型的开发——明确指出这一门槛已经被跨越。

“事实已经非常清楚，”桑德斯写道，“停止开发你们无法控制的系统。”

周一发布的一封由众议院民主党人签署的回应信函呼吁众议院议员迈克·奥斯曼“毫不犹豫地”安排与最大型人工智能公司首席执行官的听证会。

政策制定者越来越关注人工智能，原因是选民日益担忧这项技术可能会导致他们失业，并因公司倒闭而影响其退休储蓄的价值。该州的新委员会一直在调查或追踪其所有者的扩张，一些美国州认为这与能源账单上涨和污染加剧有关。

这两封信函表明，进步派民主党人希望进一步规范该技术本身的开发。

桑德斯和众议院民主党人在信中写道，如果企业不采取行动，立法者将介入。

“迄今为止，国会在应对人工智能发展带来的巨大威胁方面政策失灵，”众议院民主党人、德克萨斯州众议员格雷格·考特在信中写道，“这种情况必须改变。”

Meta公司发言人拒绝对这一辩论发表评论。詹姆斯·爱泼斯坦众议员和Anthony公司未立即回应置评请求。

周五，Oprelzi宣布推出一款新人工智能模型，并表示将采取安全具体措施。

批评人士认为，试图暂停人工智能开发的努力不会产生实际效果，因为这项技术在世界其他地区仍在发展，并可能导致美国工业在海外竞争中落后。

民主党人的这份报告与白宫的立场形成鲜明对比，后者在很大程度上对人工智能模型可能对桑德斯、商界和美国女性产生的负面后果表现出兴趣。

这些信函是在一系列关于该技术的警示发出后发出的，促使业界呼吁建立国际安全监管机构。

该州的科学家发表了一项研究，记录了他们如何利用人工智能创造新型病毒，这引发了人们对该技术可能被用于制造危险病原体的担忧。上个月，OpenAI表示，其多个人工智能模型已被超越并被其他公司反向工程。

“当我们已经看到失控和‘潜在危险病原体’的创造时，企业仍在争相投入数百亿美元开发一种可能失控的技术，这令人震惊，”桑德斯写道，“这是不负责任且极其危险的。”

桑德斯与纽约州现任众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯今年共同提出了一项立法，旨在建立一个关于“anti-antigen”系统开发的协会，以帮助构建关于“strong national subgroups”的数据以及“places”，他表示。

联邦探员在移民执法行动中使用歧视性语言的证据

来自A2版

此类种族定性行为被探员用于搜捕未登记移民。政府一直坚称其行动符合宪法。

导致法院作出临时裁决的诉讼及其他类似案件仍在下级法院审理中，可能需要数月才能解决，并可能需要数年时间才能等到最高法院进一步表态。

与此同时，民权律师正在继续分享他们认为将成为种族定性证据铁证的材料——并认为这种做法在当前执行方式下违宪。

1975年，最高法院为移民执法中的某种程度种族定性开辟了道路，当时法官认定种族和族裔可以作为探员决定是否回应"车内可能有未登记移民"这一情况的考虑因素之一——但不是唯一因素。

研究移民法的斯坦福大学法学教授珍妮弗·M·查韦拉表示，当前这一波案件——以及最高法院最近的裁决——正在探讨1975年的裁决（即美国诉伯格曼-皮斯案）是否仍然有效。

"这项裁决是否仍然是良法？即使是，机构何时会认为其行为超出了允许的界限？"查韦拉教授说道。

《加州马洛报》和《洛杉矶时报》率先报道的最新一批证词、视频和监控记录显示，洛杉矶的移民探员和警官专注于寻找"大个子劳工"。但民权组织认为，他们对搜捕对象的模糊且不一致的解释实际上是在针对看起来像拉丁裔、肤色较深或带有口音的人。他们指出，这种基于感知种族和族裔的做法最终导致无辜的美国公民被大规模卷入。

今年1月在明尼阿波利斯的法庭文件描绘了全国移民探员在完成每日高达3,000人逮捕配额的压力下工作。

在最近的一份陈述中，加利福尼亚州圣贝纳迪诺的一名交通临检司机表示，一名警官告诉他被拦下是"因为他看起来像个'脉搏'"——这是对美国餐厅工人或新近抵达移民的长期称呼。

在另一份陈述中，加利福尼亚州安多弗的美国公民安杰尔·圣地亚哥·塔比拉表示，探员在一家汽车维修厂追捕他——一个患有唐氏综合征的拉丁裔男子——而忽视了他的白人同事。一名探员在塔比拉面前掏出了一支15年的枪，当时他的衣服因工作而湿透。根据文件记载，他被戴上手铐并塞进一辆厢式车。

"我一直在说'我是美国人'，但他们只是不断告诉我我是拉丁裔，我的证件是假的，让我闭嘴，"他说道。"而且他们没有把我带到加利福尼亚。在全国各地法院提起的十多起诉讼中——包括阿拉巴马州、伊利诺伊州、俄勒冈州和明尼苏达州——民权律师认为，居民（主要是黑人和拉丁裔）因外貌、特别是肤色、感知族裔、口音和工作类型而被错误针对。

至少有65名美国公民被描述为曾被拦截、搜查或拘留，由于他们最终都被释放，因此能够向律师详细描述与移民探员的遭遇。一些人表示，探员拒绝接受他们的护照或有效驾照作为公民身份证明。数人遭到威胁、推搡和戴上手铐。少数人被拘留数小时后才获释，根据法庭文件记载。

许多关于联邦探员的说法称，他们是在完成全国配额的压力下工作，这一配额一度高达每日3,000次移民逮捕。这一增长——从2025年5月起较之前的法律近乎三倍的增幅——迫使探员从个案调查转向大规模街头扫荡，以尽可能多地抓捕人员。法庭记录显示，多组探员驾驶无标识SUV反复出现在拉丁裔社区和商业场所，包括汽车维修店、大型停车场、建筑工地和购物街区。

对于被拦截的个人，探员对其个人信息的了解仅限于人口统计特征——他们看起来是拉丁裔且属于工人阶级，这让他们感到恐惧，一位代表美国公民自由联盟处理洛杉矶案件的律师表示。

政府律师在部分陈述中坚称，移民执法行动具有高度针对性，且个别管理人员的外国人身份或煽动性言论并不构成整个机构的政策或行动证据。他们还辩称，探员有广泛权力盘问他们认为不是美国公民的人，尤其是当他们仅仅是初步接触某人以调查其合法身份，而非必然导致逮捕时。

在一份详细声明中，国土安全部发言人凯瑟琳·柯蒂斯未回应探员使用侮辱性语言的问题。她称联邦探员涉嫌种族定性的指控“极其鲁莽、不负责任且完全虚假”。

“决定某人是否成为移民执法目标的因素，是其是否非法滞留美国——而非肤色、种族或族裔，”柯蒂斯女士表示。

十多年来，法院一直依据《第四修正案》和《第五修正案》，以及1975年最高法院的裁决，认为移民探员在没有具体怀疑的情况下无权拦截个人，除非有理由相信对方非法滞留美国且不属于少数群体。因此，种族因素成为定位某人的关键。

联邦法律赋予移民探员在移民检查站及全国边境200英里范围内更大的初步盘查权。但民权组织认为，边境巡逻探员一直在滥用这些权力，深入美国内陆地区。

随着案件在法院推进，裁决将决定联邦探员是否仅凭种族和族裔来拦截、盘问和逮捕他人——以及未来是否继续禁止此类策略。

布莱恩·R·约翰逊是移民法专家，加州大学戴维斯分校教授，他表示，最高法院最近的命令及卡瓦诺大法官的附议意见实际上允许联邦探员依赖种族定性行为。

但他同时指出，这一政策命令并非最终定论。来自芝加哥和洛杉矶等地的多起公开事件——可能会在下级法院的基础诉讼上诉至最高法院时，引发大法官们的新关注。

“种族歧视性语言的传播，加上近期一系列在交通拦截和拘留中心遇害的拉丁裔女性案件，可能会促使大法官们思考这里究竟发生了什么，以赢得他们的关注，”约翰逊先生说，他曾任加州大学戴维斯分校法学院院长。

在芝加哥拍摄的视频中，探员在街头指认人员—。

诉讼揭示种族和族裔在大规模盘查中的作用

“诡计。”这一手段至少从1990年代起就被美国南部边境的移民官员所使用。

该系统在最初阶段是封闭的，但洛杉矶案件中提交的证据显示了这一点。十几名执法人员的随身摄像头和身为丈夫或遗孀的特工显示，他们绕过看似白人的对象，转而盘问和拘留附近看似拉丁裔的人。

在一段2025年8月5日拍摄的视频中，一名联邦执法人员身穿迷彩服，在一辆移动的卡车车厢内向外张望，地板上可见一个背包。

“那个背包是谁的？嗯？”一名特工问道：“诡计有效吗？”

系统还存在其他问题，特工们在驾车时显得漫不经心，一边开车一边讨论当天的行动有多成功。

“今天的‘种族’行动很顺利，”一名特工在2025年6月29日驾车穿过洛杉矶某社区时对另一名特工说道。随后，其中一名特工继续移动，报告了一起他最终没有接近的情况。“我相当确定他是偷渡客，”他说道。

特朗普任命《2025计划》作者监督倒影池整改审查

伊莎贝拉·基莱 撰

特朗普总统已选择唐纳德·柯克——右翼路线图《2025计划》的合著者——担任内政部监察长，该职位将负责监督林肯纪念堂倒影池的任何整改审查。

白宫宣布，柯克先生的任命需经参议院批准。柯克曾是塔尔西·加巴德担任国会议员时的顾问，也是保守派智库传统基金会的工作人员。

特朗普政府为赶工修复这一国家地标性建筑，今年却以失败告终：新铺设的内衬几乎无法辨认，开始剥落，新安装的水净化系统未能阻止藻类大量繁殖，导致池水变绿。

官方消息称，工程将重新进行以解决问题。特朗普最初指责是破坏者所为，但未提供证据。

据《纽约时报》调查，在内政部长道格·伯古姆的领导下，该部门批准了工人合同的模板条款，以紧迫的工期为由，试图绕过对翻修工程的审查。

上周，民主党人呼吁内政部监察长办公室对该流程展开调查。该办公室目前未开展任何调查，尚不清楚是否有调查正在进行。

特朗普总统周日在社交媒体上承认，倒影池的问题

民主党人担心监察官将失去牙齿

报道称“某承包商直接负责这项工作，他没有‘分包’。”这一变化如获批准，将适用于总统。特朗普总统在周日曾七次提及泳池问题，并将其归咎于破坏者。

华盛顿的美国检察官乔安妮·佩蒂（Joanne Petty）至少起诉了七人涉嫌破坏泳池。她表示，在发现修复工作甚至未能完成后，泳池从陆地尽头的水域被排空。

特朗普总统在社交媒体发文中还表示，没有“空间或证据”支持——

认为破坏行为损坏了泳池。尽管如此，他仍继续指责其中一名被控破坏的嫌疑人、前美国奥运选手戴维·赫恩（David Hearn）。赫恩曾被佩蒂的办公室以三项罪名起诉，后其案件被撤销。

泳池仍在排空维修中。特朗普在发文中称：“我们正在修复泳池，这将需要更多时间。”

民主党人批评柯克（Kirk）的提名，认为此举将颠覆任何审查。加利福尼亚州众议员戴维·赫夫曼（David Huffman）上周在声明中表示，这是白宫试图将其支持者安插到负责调查政府的职位。去年在一轮大规模离职中被任命的马克·格林菲尔德（Mark Greenfield）表示，这一提名引发严重担忧，并呼吁参议院否决该提名。“监察长必须能够无畏无惧地监督任命他们的政府，”他在声明中说。

白宫于周二在委员会会议上为该提名辩护。“丹尼斯·柯克（Dennis Kirk）拥有长期的政府荣誉职业生涯，曾管理过约10,000辆汽车和四——”白宫称，“我们期待柯克先生被确认为下一任监察长。”

柯克最近担任Gifford先生的顾问，后者在上诉中被任命为国家研究小组主任。作为传统基金会（Heritage Foundation）的副主任，他曾参与撰写《2025计划》（Project 2025）——一项旨在推动全面改革的大规模政策蓝图。

国务院在特朗普任内吊销175,000份签证

伊莎贝拉·基莱（ISABELLA KIRAI）报道

国务院本周表示，在特朗普政府任内，已吊销超过175,000名外国公民的签证，这些人被指控犯罪并危及外国人安全。

国务院在周一的新闻稿中称，大多数签证被吊销的原因涉及多种刑事指控，包括毒品犯罪、醉驾、骚乱、袭击、性侵、虐待儿童和欺诈。

惩罚为查理·柯克遇刺欢呼的外国人

一些签证被吊销，原因是美国国务院所称的试图“遵循走私者进入系统”的行为。声明未具体说明签证被吊销的具体时间段。

《纽约时报》无法独立核实受影响人员的身份、国籍或签证类型，国务院的声明中未包含姓名或其他人员的详细信息，也未说明签证被吊销时的具体情况。

国务院表示，部分签证被吊销的对象还包括庆祝右翼评论员查理·柯克遇刺的人，并援引了这些签证持有者的言论，如“死得好”和“民主党人不会抱怨”。

特朗普政府长期以来对签证持有者采取强硬立场，尤其是那些被指庆祝针对柯克先生等美国人的暴力行为的人。国务院最终于9月采取了行动。

国务院表示，将利用一切可用手段保护美国免受其所称滥用签证者的侵害。

多名人员因外交政策原因被驱逐出境，其中包括与某国政府有关联的人员，以及与该国政府运营的行动有关联的人。国务院还表示，部分人员曾辱骂美国人“仅仅是”某类人。

第47任总统

特朗普“通俄门”反情报调查受阻

记者：迈克尔·S·尼科利

过去一年，特朗普政府对调查俄罗斯2016年大选干预的情报官员和联邦调查局（FBI）探员发起的攻击，已由联邦检察官主导，试图构建刑事案件。

但近几周，白宫在重塑“通俄门”调查历史的努力中增添了新维度，公布了一批此前保密的FBI备忘录，声称这些文件长期支持特朗普的说法，即所谓“深层政府”意图陷害他。

这些文件并未提供实质性的新内容，也没有任何证据能推翻FBI开展“通俄”调查的理由。

但这些材料确实揭示了围绕特朗普2017年上任最初几个月事件中的一个常被忽视的方面：FBI曾做出十四项非同寻常的决定，公开启动针对总统的单独反情报调查，以及这项调查在尚未取得实质进展前如何被叫停。

特朗普一直否认有关他充当“救生艇”或与俄罗斯存在广泛金融联系的指控，并公开指责调查人员对其进行“猎巫”和“over-the-counter”，称自己是俄罗斯的目标。

以下是基于新公布的文件和对前联邦执法官员的采访，我们目前所知的情况。

双管齐下的调查

尽管对特朗普先生的审查被称为“通俄调查”，但实际上存在多项独立调查：

在2016年总统竞选期间，联邦调查局（FBI）启动了一项调查，以确定特朗普竞选团队是否与俄罗斯政府或该国合作，干预总统选举以击败希拉里·克林顿Claims。该调查——

当时已知的许多情况——并非直接针对特朗普先生的个人行为或其与俄罗斯的关系。

但在2017年5月，即2016年美国H.戴维斯事件发生一周后，FBI局长、高级官员及反情报特工决定推进一项代号“联合国”的双管齐下调查。

其中一项调查旨在分别审查特朗普先生是否违反法律，包括妨碍Conary的选举调查、干扰FBI对州选举候选人的调查，或评估特朗普竞选团队是否与俄罗斯合作。

第二项则是针对特朗普先生与俄罗斯关系的反情报调查。

反情报调查与刑事调查不同。反情报调查并非仅关注是否违法，而是审视外国对手是否正在削弱美国。

反情报调查属机密，秘密进行，通常持续多年——有时甚至超过十年。公民自由监督组织对此持批评态度，因其常导致以下情况：1. 未对美国人采取刑事行动。当事人极少被起诉，但FBI通常会采取措施，如向官员和公民宣教，提醒他们身边的人可能试图——

上图为位于华盛顿的FBI总部。该机构于2017年启动了针对特朗普总统与俄罗斯关系的调查。下图为90岁的特别检察官罗伯特·S·穆勒（左）于2016年，以及FBI代理局长安德鲁·G·麦凯布在2017年的选举听证会上。

在此类案件中，FBI虽未提起诉讼，但常采取行动，如向官员和公民宣传，告知他们周围的人可能试图——

白宫上周公开的一份备忘录提及反情报调查时称：“调查的目标是确定特朗普总统是否受到、被控制或与俄罗斯联邦协调开展活动，其方式是否构成对美国国家安全的威胁，并是否违反联邦刑事法规。”

敌方的开火促成了调查

根据白宫公布的备忘录，联邦调查局（F.B.I.）认定俄罗斯政府干预了2016年大选，以帮助特朗普先生。该局获悉，俄罗斯曾主动向特朗普竞选团队提供协助，且F.B.I.知道特朗普竞选团队推动共和党在2016年竞选计划中采纳了对俄罗斯更为友好的乌克兰政策。

F.B.I.还了解到，在1998年之前，科纳里曾游说特朗普终止对其竞选团队与俄罗斯关系的调查。

备忘录显示，F.B.I.对特朗普的个人及商业历史表示担忧。“公开信息表明，特朗普总统自20世纪80年代起便与俄罗斯及前苏联国家存在长期商业和房地产联系，”F.B.I.在开启调查的备忘录中写道。“2006年，特朗普总统的儿子声称，俄罗斯人在特朗普总统的众多资产中占据了不成比例的比例。公开信息还表明，特朗普总统在美国和俄罗斯与多名俄罗斯寡头存在商业往来。”这些公开信息是否足以开启反情报调查，是特朗普盟友与当时做出决定的F.B.I.官员之间围绕俄罗斯问题的长期争论核心。特朗普始终坚称自己与俄罗斯的个人、商业及金融联系微乎其微。但F.B.I.探员希望展开全面调查，以确定特朗普是否试图通过科纳里阻止对俄罗斯的调查。

“阻挠行为本身不会影响我们查明俄罗斯所作所为的能力，而这正是对我们国家安全的威胁，”F.B.I.总法律顾问詹姆斯·贝克当时在国会作证时表示。

任命特别检察官

联合国调查启动当天，F.B.I.副局长安德鲁·G·麦凯布与司法部副部长罗德·J·罗森斯坦讨论了F.B.I.的决定。

次日，罗森斯坦做出了他自己的非常决定。他任命前F.B.I.局长罗伯特·S·穆勒（121）为特别检察官，调查特朗普及其竞选团队。

但当时不为人知的是，罗森斯坦在2016年曾对反情报调查持反对态度。

调查重心阻碍了反情报工作

当罗森斯特罗姆（Mr. Rosenström）任命穆勒（Mr. Mueller）为特别检察官时，他授权特别检察官将联邦调查局（F.B.I.）对选举期间州政府头条新闻及特朗普竞选团队与俄罗斯人之间关系的调查，以及特朗普是否试图妨碍该调查的问题纳入调查范围。

但罗森斯特罗姆并未要求穆勒负责对特朗普的反情报调查，并明确向穆勒表示，他不希望穆勒进行一项开放式、长达一年的调查。穆勒接受任命是为了确立调查标准。

尽管罗森斯特罗姆未授权穆勒负责反情报调查，但根据白宫公布的备忘录，监督该调查的职责被移交给了穆勒团队中的F.B.I.探员。

然而，一旦特别检察官的工作重心转向刑事犯罪，反情报调查便被边缘化，并“仅限于与犯罪调查范围相关的活动”和“具体情况”，一份备忘录中写道。

2016年穆勒的报告发布时，称调查未发现特朗普及其竞选团队在2016年大选期间与俄罗斯勾结的证据。但穆勒拒绝就特朗普是否妨碍司法公正作出结论。该报告未包含关于特朗普与俄罗斯个人关系的章节，亦未评估他是否受到威胁或构成反情报风险。

报告发布后，穆勒在国会作证时承认，他未调查俄罗斯寡头是否通过特朗普的商业活动转移资金等问题。

穆勒在16, 2016的另一个问题中承认，他仅关注刑事犯罪，并暗示部分反情报调查可能仍在进行。

穆勒于7月16日, 2016作证。罗森斯特罗姆上周公布的白宫文件显示，反情报调查已于三个多月前终止。

2017年初，总统与F.B.I.局长詹姆斯·B·科米（James B. Comey）在一起。科米数月后被解职。

特朗普总统疫苗行政令后对政府声明的事实核查

本文由环球通讯社、Basic Rises及Maggie Ames撰写

特朗普总统周一签署了一项行政令，要求在美国儿童疫苗上添加新的警告标签。在一场关于该行政令的椭圆形办公室活动中，特朗普总统错误地暗示疫苗与有关联，并称麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹联合疫苗可能致命，而这并非疫苗导致的结果。

目前尚不清楚该行政令是否已生效，但专家表示，他们担心美国的公司可能因此受到影响。罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 Jr.等出席活动的人士可能会加剧公众对免疫接种安全性的误解和困惑。

以下是相关声明的证据依据。

麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹联合疫苗安全且便捷

特朗普总统指示卫生官员拆分麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹疫苗，目前这三种疫苗以联合疫苗形式接种。他表示：“合在一起可能会有致命风险。”然而，没有证据表明MMR联合疫苗存在危险，且已有数十年的安全性证据。该疫苗与儿童发烧后出现癫痫发作的轻微风险相关，但这种癫痫发作可能由任何高烧引起，且通常不会造成长期影响，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）表示。部分国家提供这三种疾病的单独疫苗，但需经美国批准后方可使用。拆分接种意味着家长需多次带孩子就诊，可能影响接种率。

罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会主席、前CDC代理主任理查德·贝泽尔博士表示，拆分MMR疫苗“毫无意义，只会迫使家长多次预约、请假并安排儿童看护”。

疫苗中的铝盐安全且有益

行政令要求寻找部分疫苗中使用的少量铝盐的替代品，罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 Jr.一直声称铝盐不安全。然而，铝盐在疫苗中已使用近100年，能增强免疫反应，其安全性和有效性已得到充分研究。

数十年的临床试验支持其使用。2012年发表的一项研究显示铝盐可能与哮喘有关联，但样本量较小，且研究方法无法证明因果关系。丹麦近期的一项研究则未发现铝盐与哮喘或其他疾病有关联。

缩减接种计划可能造成严重危害

特朗普总统坚称“我们的做法不会造成任何问题”。

但美国通过高疫苗接种率已控制了多种疾病。CDC在2014年发表的一项研究发现，1894年至2025年间出生的儿童，常规疫苗接种预防了约1亿例疾病、1200万例住院和1,125,000例死亡。

随着接种率下降，部分疾病正卷土重来，最明显的是麻疹。截至2026年年中，美国麻疹病例已超过2016年宣布该病消除以来的任何一年。

行政令列出了仅建议高风险儿童接种的疫苗，其中包括可预防多种致命疾病的疫苗，如甲型肝炎、乙型肝炎和脑膜炎球菌病。

儿童死亡的数量和规模值得高度关注。

特朗普先生多次强调儿童死亡的数量，在不同场合提到“家庭规模是否必须被纳入考虑”、“疫苗接种率”需要“落实到”具体时间点。这些变化仅取决于人体能够承受的适量液体和水分。

目前尚不清楚特朗普先生所冒的风险具体为何。在1.25至3.5名儿童的范围内，大多数其他死因在全球医院死亡病例中仅占约二十分之一。

他与肯尼迪先生表示，美国儿童实际上接种了12剂疫苗，尽管其中一些尚未被推荐或要求接种，例如每年接种的流感疫苗，儿童在5岁前将接种约15剂。

专家表示，当今疫苗对儿童免疫系统造成过度负担的观点从根本上是错误的。如今的疫苗更加纯净、高效，且对免疫系统的刺激远低于几十年前——其数量级（the orders of magnitude）已大幅降低。

疫苗已被长期深入研究多年，其组合效果亦是如此。

特朗普的高级助手休斯·米勒在新闻发布会上表示，并撰写了儿童疫苗接种时间表：“没有人研究过它。没有人‘专注’于此。没有人思考过它。”但他忽略了，疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的一个顾问小组在过去数月甚至数年间一直在审查数据，以确定应接种哪些疫苗及接种时间。

今年3月，一场年度法庭裁决阻止了该委员会召开会议，理由是肯尼迪先生任命的背景顾问无资格对委员会成员进行疫苗推荐。

所有疫苗在获批前均需满足严格的安全性要求。在批准后的数天内，联邦官员通过多个系统监测医疗记录和来自患者及医生的报告，以分析潜在风险。

CDC主任兼CDC委员会主席安德鲁·雷恩斯博士表示：“接种时间表中的所有疫苗均经过明确研究，其接种时机和组合方式也已得到充分研究。”

（原文句子不完整，未提供明确结论）

特朗普和肯尼迪先生暗示，儿童疫苗的累积影响超出预期结果。尽管过去几十年诊断病例有所增加，但专家认为并非单一因素导致这一趋势。20世纪前10年出生的儿童在成年后哮喘发病率更高，这与哮喘风险增加有关，此外，对该病的认知提高及医疗覆盖范围扩大（包括轻症病例）也是原因之一。

但关于猝死的研究尚未发现疫苗与哮喘之间存在关联。

最新研究表明，哮喘可能由多种因素引发，包括遗传和可能的环境影响。肯尼迪先生承诺将深入探究哮喘的“核心原因”。然而，联邦科学家尚未确定疫苗接种与哮喘病因之间的关联。

第47任总统

观点解析

《观点解析》栏目提供关于政治、政策及日常生活的新闻、分析与图表。网址：nytimes.com / upshot

高级提名人选的年龄中，13% 为女性。但当年她们占据了一个规模较小的岗位群体。高级职位的总提名人数较过去25年来的任何时期都更少。至少有一份提名名单是从2020年延续下来的，当时陆军部长丹尼尔·P·杜瓦尔（Daniel P. Duvall）或霍格塞斯先生下令提名两名黑人和两名女性军官。

总体而言，今年前七个月提名的高级职位女性人数不足近年提名人数的三分之一，根据《纽约时报》的分析。

高级军官，即将官和将级军官，担任“极其重要的职位”，埃默里大学法学教授、前军事律师马克·内维特（Mark Nevitt）表示。

通常，一星及以上的三位军事领导人负责指挥大型部队，并拥有数十年的经验。

一旦选拔委员会批准，提名人选将递交至部门官员，包括国防部长。部长可能因不符合模范行为服役标准，或候选人“在心理、身体或专业上不合格”为由推迟或扣留提名名单，但霍格塞斯先生的撤销行为是否合法尚不明确，内维特教授表示。

三星和四星将军的提名通常由

关于数据

《纽约时报》收集了过去 25 年国会提交的提名名单。高级军官不属于美国军衔体系的上述级别。

分析涵盖了所有可能的提名，而非仅与数字对比的提名。提名名单包括担任高风险职位或其他相关企业高管的军官，因 2020 年的许多提名尚未获得批准。这些提名还包括因职位变动而多次被提名为州级军衔的核心人员。一项新的战争高层提名被推迟了一年。分析还纳入了国民警卫队和州级行政指挥团队，提名文件中的保密等级，以及因法律限制无法获取的太空军数据。

军事领导层的提名在送交国防部长之前，需经过层层审核，国防部长再将候选人提交总统批准。

女性晋升人数下降最严重的军种是海军和空军。若这一趋势持续，这将是自至少 2015. 年以来首次没有现役女性军官晋升至高级职位。霍格塞斯先生最近阻止了数名——

更多统计数据。

为确定性别，《纽约时报》采用了一种基于美国出生数据估算性别概率的方法，置信度阈值为 0.。分析对象为提名时年龄在 25 至 50 岁的候选人。报告的准确性估计为 100%，数据不考虑概率低于 0.7 的提名。女性候选人提名时年龄同样在 25 至 50 岁之间。女性人数未包含 2020 和 2015. 年的相对性别水平。分析涵盖了所有数据。所有提名均属于较低级别军衔。姓名均经过人工核实。分析还统计了姓名对应特定性别的概率。

霍格塞斯先生还阻止了数名女性和有色人种晋升为两星上将。非营利研究机构 ASUCR 的高级政治科学家凯利·阿特金森（Kelly Atkinson）表示，任何一年女性高级职位提名人数较少的原因有多种。研究显示，女性候选人往往比男性同僚更早离开军队，且女性直到 1995 年才被允许在部分作战岗位服役。

今年近四分之一的低级别晋升提名授予了女性，这一比例更接近军队整体性别构成。根据美国国防部数据，女性在 2016, 年约占现役军人总数的 20%。阿特金森博士表示，低级别提名的流程更为结构化和可预测。

霍格塞斯先生还试图减少将官和准将的总人数，下令削减四星军官（"offs"）20% 的编制。整体高级军官人数削减 20%。他已解职或调动了超过 50 名将军和上将。

与霍格塞斯先生一同出现在提名名单中的女性更可能已完成 20 年军旅生涯。阿特金森博士表示：“在职业生涯的特定阶段将她们解职，可能抹杀她们克服重重障碍所做出的贡献。”

赫格塞斯将南卡罗来纳州军事基地更名为林赛·格雷厄姆联合基地

作者：约翰·德鲁

华盛顿——国防部已将位于南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的一处军事基地以已故共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的名字重新命名，格雷厄姆于7月11去世。

该基地此前名为查尔斯顿联合基地，于2010年由一处海军基地和一处空军基地合并而成，两处基地均建于1941. 现将更名为林赛·格雷厄姆联合基地。

参议员格雷厄姆曾希望成为一名军事飞行员，但因一只耳朵听力问题，转而接受了律师培训，并在空军、空中国民警卫队和空军预备役担任军法官，于2015, 以上校军衔退役，据其个人记录所述。11, 达琳·格雷厄姆参议员被任命接替格雷厄姆先生剩余的任期。

在仪式上发言的国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯简要回顾了格雷厄姆的军旅生涯。

“林赛·格雷厄姆参议员将毕生奉献于服务本州和美国武装部队，”赫格塞斯先生说，“正如在座各位所知，他既在军中服役，也在国会两院任职，为这个国家效力。”

随后，赫格塞斯转向了他熟悉的文化战争话题。

“林赛在生命的最后几年，与在媒体、学术界甚至国会中少数成员中泛滥的激进左翼意识形态作斗争，”赫格塞斯先生说。

“激进左翼向我们自己的军队宣战，”他未作解释便补充道，并抨击了共产主义的概念，称其“承诺天堂，却定义了邪恶”。

赫格塞斯还声称，“激进的‘觉醒意识形态’”在过去几年损害了征兵工作。他赞扬了特朗普总统，并解释了为何其部门应获得105 亿美元美元的预算，称格雷厄姆对此表示支持。

“我听到了他发言的结尾部分，赫格塞斯提到了美国与伊朗的战争，称特朗普政府的目标是确保该国‘永远不会拥有核武器’。”

“在过去的24年里，每一位总统都宣称不会让伊朗获得核武器，但他们从未采取任何行动，直到唐纳德·特朗普总统上任，”他说，“而林赛·格雷厄姆在参议院始终与他站在一起。”

自战争开始五个多月ago，已有至少24名美国军人阵亡，超过600人受伤。估计有1,000名或更多伊朗平民在一场冲突中丧生。

担任军法官的参议员以上校军衔退役。

赫格塞斯还保留了其他基地的名称，但出于不同原因。在他上任初期，曾更改了两处此前以南部邦联士兵命名的陆军基地名称。这两处基地分别是北卡罗来纳州的布拉格堡和佐治亚州的斯梅恩堡，在拜登政府对纪念南部邦联士兵的军事资产进行审查后，更名为自由堡和穆尔堡。

林赛·格雷厄姆联合基地驻扎着多个C-17运输机中队和海军资产。

1, 2020, 格雷厄姆的妹妹表示，有时很难分辨她的兄弟“是一名碰巧在空军服役的参议员，还是一名碰巧在参议院任职的空军律师。这就是他对两者的热爱。”

“这就是这座基地以之命名的那个人，”她补充道。

延长交付时间，工作变得更加间歇性。明年夏天，她正考虑增加备用发电机。

“这压力很大，我甚至不确定能否再次应对，”哈特女士说。“仅去年一年，天气就出现了6次异常。”

以她的经历为例，再乘以数千倍，就能理解今年夏天芝加哥的部分情况——暴雨反复压垮电线，电网已因持续的空调需求不堪重负。

再乘以数百万倍，便能大致理解从2014年到2018年，极端天气对经济影响的规模。根据安联研究（Allianz Research）的最新报告，到2030年，包括法国、日本、意大利、德国和西班牙在内的最易受影响国家，其经济产出将比预期低5%至7%。

此外，还存在严重的财政后果。极端天气不仅通过减少生产和消费来削弱经济，还需要更多支出用于修复受损基础设施。安联研究的作者发现，在欧洲大多数政府债务国，极端天气造成的损失将占到国内生产总值的6%至8%，可能动摇受影响较大国家的债务负担。

这一预测可能仍然保守。“当我提出这个情景时，有人表示，‘你采用了过去10年最严重的热浪数据——这过于悲观，’”安联研究气候顾问莎伦·埃里克森（Sharon Erickson）去年秋季参与该报告时表示。“但2020年的数据已经超过了这一水平。”

几乎所有影响都通过相同的渠道传导。首先是能源成本。几乎所有发电方式——太阳能电池板、风力涡轮机、水坝、燃气发电厂——在极端高温下效率都会降低。与此同时，除最北部国家外，随着家庭和企业纷纷开启空调，能源需求激增。这两种动态都推高了价格，并增加了停电风险。

“过去做过的每一件好事，我都觉得是透支了。”

——斯蒂芬妮·哈特（Stephanie Hart），芝加哥布朗糖烘焙坊（Brown Sugar Bakery）老板

今年夏天，高温、火灾、烟雾和反复无常的天气对全球企业和家庭造成了严重冲击。根据联邦数据，这是美国本土有记录以来最热的一个月，而欧洲则经历了平均气温连续10天以上的历史新高。

经济学家长期研究气候变化对经济、生产力和就业的恶化影响。大多数对短期损害的预测较为温和，而对长期损害的预测则更为严峻。但过去一年，气候相关灾害已变得无法回避，企业难以置身事外。

“如果不解决这些问题，可能会危及我们的未来——尤其是城市的基础设施系统。没有什么比紧急情况更能引起关注！”会议委员会（Conference Board）气候聚焦经济学家表示。

高成本，低收入

单独考虑高温的影响，而不考虑经济状况，根据全球保险公司旗下的安联研究（Allianz Research）数据，未来五年内可能出现的经济损失在2010年至2018年间的首个关键年份将是——

生产力受到多方面冲击。企业往往不得不缩短营业时间，并调整睡眠安排。当学校和托儿所因野火无法运营时，家长无法正常工作。最近一项研究发现，由于野火导致的每一天学校托儿服务取消，会使有幼儿的母亲就业概率降低1%，这可能是因为预期外的缺勤让雇主难以承受。

《纽约时报》一位名为Coven的相关人士调查了洛杉矶的两家托儿所，发现过去两年的高温和烟雾使缺勤率翻了一番。有时，公司不得不让孩子们整天待在室内，而今年夏天已多次出现因高温而提前结束托儿服务的情况。

“影响非常大，”Coven女士说，“不仅作为企业受到冲击，因为家长们不知道今天是否能打电话让他们来接孩子，因为我们可能停电了。”

整体来看，异常高温甚至会削弱富裕国家的经济福祉。一份7月发布的工作论文发现，州一级的经济增长在经历四天极端高温后，会在随后数月内显著放缓。

最直接的影响是高温对人们健康和工作能力的“静默”冲击，但野火的破坏力仍在每年夺走生命。最有效的应对措施是减少停电、城市烟雾堵塞，并迫使数千人过度——

会计师萨拉·迈耶（Sarah Meier）研究自然系统与经济的相互作用，她发表的一项研究发现，2010年至2018年间的高温和野火降低了受影响地区的年增长率，尤其是零售和旅游业。今年夏天的情况可能已超出这些数据——扑灭火灾的成本已超过她此前估算的整体经济损失。

“如今的不同之处在于，火灾从未如此接近欧洲的众多城市，”迈耶女士说，“而且没有理由认为这是最严重的情况。对葡萄牙、希腊和西班牙而言，野火的规模在统计上已没有天然上限，1项纪录都可能以较大幅度打破上一项。”

没有简单的解决方案

今年，动物不会带来缓解，反而会跨越海洋。预计异常强烈的厄尔尼诺天气模式将在世界部分地区造成严重干旱，同时在其他地区带来极端天气，扰乱种植和收获周期，并减少小麦、玉米和食糖等作物的产量。

随着气温上升，即使是糖的产量也会下降。最乐观的 Péginiers P589 在其第二季度报告中指出，食糖产量可能因此受到抑制。热浪还会冲击食品供应链，在运往市场的途中损坏作物。稀缺性可能会推高食品成本。

宏观经济后果已使各国央行陷入两难境地。今年的气候灾害发生在贸易战推高美国物价、中东冲突挤压全球能源和化肥供应之际。央行可能会继续维持高利率以控制成本，即使这样做会加剧金融压力。

“调整利率并不能增加食品供应。企业通常不愿涉足这一领域，”麦克黑尔银行分析师理查德·德·沙泽尔表示，“如今，如果其他领域没有解决方案，比如财政政策，央行就会觉得必须出手应对。”

由于政府支持有限且日益减弱，保险政策成本上升且覆盖范围缩小，租户和企业正努力适应。

纳达·布朗是芝加哥一家小型连锁咖啡店Ministerial Coffee的老板。尽管她不再经历像过去那样的停电，但她的面包店仍不得不在一个烟雾弥漫的日子关闭了一家门店，并在另一家门店遭遇暴风雨导致的水灾。但最大的困扰还是持续不断的阴雨天，这种天气在芝加哥越来越频繁，严重影响了周末游客的消费。

布朗原本指望八月初的Lollapalooza音乐节能为她的市中心门店带来可观的销售额。但整个周末几乎都在下雨，销售额比去年同期下降了20%。未来，她将尝试增加更多室内活动，并在工作日吸引更多顾客。

“现在我必须考虑，我需要在第一年和第二年做好准备，”布朗说，“部分原因是真正理解并思考：‘我们该如何应对？是否有办法让我们的生产线更耐候？’”

上周，芝加哥Groves Sugar Bakery的员工在准备铜锅用于化学反应和发泡小牛奶。一场强风暴导致停电后，员工用干冰保存了500根冰淇淋棒，干冰的成本为1,700美元。

“我们该如何应对？”

通过掩埋电线、种植作物遮阳等措施来保护人们免受气候变化影响的成本，可能会超过避免损失的收益，尽管前期投入仍然高昂。咨询公司麦肯锡估计，全面防护每年需耗资约100亿美元，这一估算尚属首次。

短期内，企业和政府正采取显而易见的措施，如调整工作时间、为居民和工人提供降温和饮水休息。此外，还在推动为原本不需要的地区（如法国和英格兰）安装更多空调。

但联合国人类住区规划署首席人力官克里斯·迈尔斯指出，空调不能成为唯一的解决方案。尽管空调让富裕国家能够在沙漠中发展，但依赖高耗能的制冷系统在全球范围内可能并不可行，因为发电变得越来越困难和昂贵。

因此，中期来看，Openberg law 建议采取建筑变革，如使用保持建筑物凉爽的材料、防止吸热而非反射热量的投资，并避免在高风险地区进行新开发。

“眼下看来，前进的方向——也是许多企业正在探索的——是将制冷视为一种系统性问题，而非仅仅是设备层面的成因，”迈尔斯表示。

从长远来看，避免进一步规划的唯一方法是通过减少增长变化来改变条件，从而遏制损害。“适应看似刻不容缓，但减缓措施将决定适应是否仍然困难重重，”她说道。

全国最大水库水位降至新低

作者：纳斯·帕兰特

米德湖是西南地区为超过2000万人提供用水的最大天然水库，由于持续干旱导致水位下降，已从灌木丛生的河岸区域退缩至毫无生机的斜坡地带。

这一纪录在周四晚间首次被打破，随后几天随着水位持续下降，于次日上午再次刷新，成为科罗拉多河严峻状况的最新例证。

作为多个地区生命线的河流系统正面临威胁。美国因气温上升和数十年的过度使用而陷入困境。依赖该河流的七个州的城市和农民正陷入重新分配剩余水资源的谈判僵局。

全球数十亿人正面临10分钟倒计时般的紧迫感。

“由于严重缺水，”科罗拉多河加州委员会主席兼该州战略主任M·斯坦利表示，“我们需要长期解决方案，使我们远离悬崖边缘。”

但长期解决方案迄今尚未出现。上游流域的四个州——科罗拉多州、新墨西哥州、犹他州和怀俄明州——与下游流域的三个州——亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州和内华达州——已花费多年时间试图就水资源分配达成长期协议。在各州错过二月份的最后期限后，联邦政府威胁将强制实施其自身方案。

特朗普政府于7月公布的初步框架对下游流域构成了严峻威胁。西南地区各社区目前正等待内政部下属的垦务局公布具体细节，该局将在未来两年内明确各州必须实施的具体削减措施。

这场危机在数十年干旱中逐步形成，今年温暖的水温未能带来关键融雪，进一步加剧了水资源短缺，导致水库蓄水量锐减。

“时机实在太糟糕了，”亚利桑那州立大学凯尔水政策研究中心研究主任凯瑟琳·索伦森表示，“风险极高，几乎无法承受。”

米德湖于20世纪30年代在胡佛大坝建成后开始蓄水。这座大坝高度超过西雅图的太空针塔，其蓄水量曾一度达到满负荷，水库水面每年可为下游提供2,000至3,000吨水。然而，目前水位已比此前纪录低1,000英尺。

若水位再下降5英尺，大坝的发电能力将骤降75%，垦务局已发出警告——

若米德湖水位——位于胡佛大坝后方——进一步下降，可能会危及数百万人的供水。

该机构预计，米德湖可能在未来几个月内达到这一临界点。

若水位继续下降至约900英尺，水库将进入“死库容”状态，即无法再向下游放水。这将对下游地区造成灾难性影响，切断对重要农田、美国原住民部落以及洛杉矶、拉斯维加斯和凤凰城等城市的供水。

“我们需要在系统中保留更多水资源，以应对灾难性风险，”斯坦利先生表示。

随着水库水位近年来持续下降，也重塑了数百万游客前来休闲和观光的体验。不断消退的水位在岸边留下了明显的“浴缸环”痕迹，标志着曾经的高水位线。

此外，浅滩区还不断暴露出各种物品，包括一艘无人认领的船只、一具装在桶中的谋杀受害者遗体，以及最近发现的一艘沉船，其残骸散落在水下山坡上。

也许从空中俯瞰是观察沙漠地貌变迁的最佳方式。卫星图像记录了从一片深邃如湖泊的水体，到如今寸草不生、形如干涸盆地的转变。

与此同时，米德湖的另一座水库——鲍威尔湖——在格伦峡谷大坝系统的阻拦下，正缓慢下降至历史最低水位。事实上，一组研究人员发现，米德湖和鲍威尔湖的水位在其共同历史上从未如此之低。

鲍威尔湖也面临着下一个危机。水位下降迫使管理者不愿冒险深入水域，以试图维持水库的表面水位。

今年早些时候，联邦和州政府决定减少从鲍威尔湖的放水量，以维持足够高的水位，避免对格伦峡谷大坝造成损害。这一决定影响了流入米德湖的水量，使其水位进一步下降，以拯救鲍威尔湖。科罗拉多河水资源保护区的一位名为埃里·卡林的管理人员表示：

“这只是权宜之计，”他说，因为鲍威尔湖已接近一个关键点——即可能无法继续发电。但他补充道，随着气候变化导致该地区变得更加炎热和干旱，这样的管理措施可能无法长期奏效。“总有一天，我们将不得不做出选择，”“除非我们减少用水，否则鲍威尔湖或米德湖都将失去缓冲空间。”

对于白袜队，自称球迷的芝加哥教宗是天赐良机

来自A1版

2016年，白袜队创下了现代美国职业棒球大联盟历史上最多败绩的纪录，121场。进入2021赛季一个多月后，他们仍然稳居美国联盟中区垫底位置。这两个赛季的平均主场上座率均为大联盟倒数第四。

道尼先生的工作就是在阴霾中寻找值得庆祝的事。他和团队为球队125周年纪念赛季（2020年）策划了一长串促销活动：一条毛绒毯、1997年的索福斯球衣、1972年迪克·艾伦的MVP纪念品、康尼斯基公园（球队历史上大部分时间所在地）造型的收音机。

“老实说，这也是在试图转移人们的注意力，”道尼先生说，“让人们忘记前一年的事情。”

新教宗当选当天，白袜队以39-0.的比分击败堪萨斯城皇家队，以此回报他长久以来的忠诚。尽管如此，教宗的双重身份为球队提供了新的宣传角度，一种得体地利用这座城市喜悦氛围的方式。

在确认教宗利奥是白袜队球迷后，白袜队确保所有人都知道这一点。他们的社交媒体团队特意修正了咖啡馆的电子显示屏，放上一张白袜队记分牌的照片，并配文：“嘿，芝加哥，他是白袜队球迷！”接下来的一周，球队主打棒球帽的销量增长了33%。到年底，19条白袜队社交媒体帖子中互动量最高的都与教宗有关。

但也有一些活动，在30.场胜利中获得了助力。彼得呼吁更宏大的创意，于是道尼先生和同事们开始行动。

球队设计服务部的小主管为140和141.看台之间的墙壁创作了一幅教宗的数字肖像。右上角是一张较小的配图——来自2005年世界大赛1的电视转播画面，当时还是圣奥古斯丁修会领袖的教宗利奥在最后一局被镜头捕捉到。球队还在教宗当天所坐的座位上增设了一块反直觉的纪念牌。

显而易见的下一步是让教宗至少以某种形式回到球场。

芝加哥曾拥有庞大的天主教人口，芝加哥总教区是美国第三大教区。根据皮尤研究中心的数据，50%的城市成年人自称基督徒，25%自称天主教徒，是最大的教派。白袜队30年来一直为球场员工举办小型弥撒，由仍在经营球队的伯尼斯家族组织，弥撒在场地层的接待区举行，已有6年历史。

教宗当选一个月后，白袜队协助总教区在球队主场保证率球场安排了一场公开弥撒。约10,000张门票以每张85美元的价格售出，而该赛季白袜队的平均每场观众人数为17,640人。据《芝加哥太阳报》报道，部分门票在二级市场上的售价超过10,000美元。

对于球队首席营销官布伦达·博耶尔这位虔诚的天主教徒来说，与教宗建立任何形式的联系都极为成功。

“我们有过芝加哥的强势市长，有过伊利诺伊州热衷白袜队的州长，还有过美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马，”他说，“我不知道在刚接手这份工作时，有什么比市长更大的人物，但我们已经一步步攀升。接下来是什么？我觉得我们离上帝都不远了。”

这位拥有八站行程记录的教宗首次对美国观众发表讲话。他将大部分信息传达给年轻人，表示理解他们在新冠疫情期间的经历，但他们仍然可以成为“希望的灯塔”。

他感谢他们聚集在保证率球场，但并未说对场地名。他称其为白袜队公园。

世界正在阅读

无论弹簧头上的人头是否属于真实球员，这都是各地体育团队必备的宣传赠品。考虑到亚特兰大勇士队曾推出过两款“双头怪”外出版国家联赛波比人偶，搭配2000年款红色敞篷车中的“大六”和“奥托斯”，而纽约洋基队即将发放第三版乔治·科曼佐波比人偶，一款教宗利奥波比人偶的出现几乎是必然的。

唐尼先生在教宗当选当天便致电球队的波比人偶制造商。他订购了四个样品，教宗利奥身着传统白色法衣，手持一顶白袜队（White Sox）帽子。（后来他又根据一张教宗利奥戴白袜队帽子的照片增订了四个样品。）

)

他将样品交给博耶先生，后者在体育场弥撒期间将其中两个送给了芝加哥总教区的枢机主教马斯的教练。他希望枢机主教下次访问梵蒂冈时能将这些波比人偶呈交给相关人士以获批准。

“未经梵蒂冈许可，我们不会使用他的肖像，”博耶先生说。

唐尼先生确信梵蒂冈会推广这个想法。

“然后我们就再也没有收到任何回音，”他说，“一个月又一个月过去，什么都没有。”

11月，他给曾为他和妻子主持婚礼的汤姆·赫胥黎神父发了封电子邮件。“为了尝试一次性获得波比人偶的批准，”赫胥黎神父说。他将唐尼先生介绍给另一位神父——汤姆·麦卡锡神父，30年前就与教宗利奥相识的奥古斯丁教派南区本地人。

麦卡锡神父有着强大的球迷资历。他的母亲曾在白袜队老体育场的牛排摊工作，他也曾和父亲一起观看比赛。麦卡锡神父在采访中表示，他与教宗利奥相识已有30年，但已不再有直接联系方式。于是，他向梵蒂冈的通讯办公室发送了电子邮件。“我确实收到了回复，他们只是说不感兴趣。”

他笑了笑。

“我觉得他们可能认为波比人偶不够尊重，”麦卡锡神父说，“但在美国，我认为人们会理解波比人偶可以是一种非常恭维的表达。”

球队通过芝加哥总教区与梵蒂冈沟通。博耶先生表示，当《纽约时报》联系时，总教区的一位女发言人说：“白袜队

“接下来会怎样？我觉得我们离上帝只有一步之遥了。”

drout 的工作，而大主教区并不提供“对个别程序的批准”。总之，没有白袜队教宗 bobblehead（摇头公仔）。

唐尼先生的另一个推广创意是赠送“完整的教宗装扮”，如他所言——整套、成熟且带有钠味。他向赫胥黎神父征询意见，后者仅建议不要过于直接。

球队原计划向购买周二对阵辛辛那提红人队特别门票的球迷赠送 1,500 顶教宗帽。需求迅速超出预期，他们又增加了 100 顶，然后再加 100 顶。

最终，唐尼先生和球队营销与广告副总裁加雷斯·布朗蒂尼（Gareth Brontini）向博耶尔先生提议，向所有到场观众赠送教宗帽。唐尼回忆道：“教宗帽要送爆了。”

博耶尔同意了，这意味着约 40,000 人将获得赠品。

在这样的报道中，这或许是一种确保金钱不会引发关于上帝兴趣的猜测的方式，考虑到教宗的倾向。我们不屑于此。但必须指出，去年输掉 302 场比赛、排名垫底的白袜队，如今已在分区中领跑。

没人明说上帝是白袜队球迷，但他们也并非不在暗示。

6 月 26 日，对阵堪萨斯城皇家队的比赛中，球队转播合作伙伴的摄像师迈克·霍尔（Mike Hall）佩戴了麦克风。天主教徒捕手德鲁·罗姆（Drew Rome）在休息区找到他。

“利奥教宗，如果您正在看这段视频，现在请为雅各布·格兰齐斯特快速祈祷一下，”罗姆在镜头前说道，26, 无人能接住这球。

去年 6 月，芝加哥瑞格利球场（Rate Field）展示了教宗利奥的纸板剪影。这位新教宗来自芝加哥南部的一个郊区。左侧是一位设计师，身旁放着一把大提琴，并身穿白袜队球衣，参加庆祝教宗利奥当选的活动。

几周后，格兰齐斯特在瑞格利球场击出了个人首支本垒打。有人惊呼：“有效，利奥！”

那场比赛白袜队打出 12 分，是自 1970 年以来单场得分最多的一次。

“就像 80 年代那样，一切都变得顺利了，”罗姆在采访中说，“比如，利奥教宗，如果您在看这场比赛，您的祈祷可能真的帮到了球队。”

球队感受到的氛围，他几乎肯定第二天就听说了。当 2005 年白袜队冠军队成员之一 A·J·皮尔辛斯基（A. J. Pierzynski）在 6 月底觐见教宗利奥时，他告诉教宗白袜队目前排名第一。教宗说他已经知道了。

皮尔辛斯基向利奥赠送了世界系列赛最后一局的比赛用球。他还是个糟糕的防守者。

“他收到过无数祈祷，”皮尔辛斯基说，“但这是名人堂。这是他永远无法得到的荣誉。我敢肯定，这对他来说比挂在我墙上更有意义。”

几周后，正处于六连败的运动家队造访白袜队。时任运动家队主教练马克·凯尔森（Mark Kotsay）也是天主教徒，他寻求教宗利奥的祝福。

“我只是祈求平安，”凯尔森说，“当然，还有转运。”

对他而言，这并未奏效。运动家队在接下来的四场比赛中全部告负，包括对阵白袜队的三场，而白袜队球迷正享受着球队的成功。今年平均每场比赛观众人数比 2023 年增加了 6,135 人——这是美国职业棒球大联盟中增幅最大的。

最近，教宗与美国驻梵蒂冈大使比森·赖希（Bison Reich）共进晚餐。同样来自芝加哥但支持小熊队的赖希在采访中表示，教宗对棒球的热情是“本届教宗的首个异端”。

他补充道，教宗的热情“是对其美国根源的提醒”。

“人们常常把教皇想象成某种‘超凡脱俗’的精神领袖，”赖希先生继续说道。“而因为他是首位美国教皇，又因为他做了美国人会做的事——不是支持三支家乡球队，而是对其中一支球队表现出极大的热情——这让人们对教皇产生了一种前所未有的亲近感。”

道尼先生表示，这种亲近感预计将在教皇帽赠送比赛中体现出来，该比赛几乎已售罄。

不过，道尼先生仍将2018年制作的教皇人偶样品保存在雷特球场的办公室里。白袜队出于担心泄露超过10,000,000件设计的风险，不允许拍摄这些样品。如果梵蒂冈改变主意，道尼先生已做好准备。

法官暂停纽约市对第二套住宅征税的计划

作者：尼迪·扎伊迪 及拉宾·约翰逊

周一，梅尔·曼达尼市长的政府遭遇挫折，一名法官暂停了对富有纽约人第二套住宅征收争议税的实施，迫使市政府官员转向上诉法院。

法官梅·M·哈茨（Hatz）在哈茨市法院签发了初步禁令，该禁令是应一群房主的请求发出的，他们起诉市政府税务工作存在问题，并称该税的推出正在被“仓促执行”。

诉讼并未持续太久。市政府于周一晚间提交了法庭文件，表示将提起上诉，并指出在上级法院作出裁决前，哈茨法官的命令不会生效。

尽管如此，这一裁决仍是这场围绕该税的争斗中的又一波折，凸显了该市的经济困境。

该税由州长凯利·霍卡尔提出，并由曼达尼先生推动，旨在兑现其“第4187号”承诺——自1919年以来的洛杉矶县行政长官，以填补预算缺口。

虽然市议会原定于周一就该市预算进行投票，但这一命令至少暂时打乱了这些计划。

代表原告的律师兰迪·马丁在一份声明中表示，哈茨法官的裁决“维护了数十万纽约市房主的权利，他们此前被排除在外，而这一制度本应从一开始就将他们纳入”。

但市政厅发言人马修·布兰查德森表示，该税并非针对普通民众：“这是一个公平且有效补充城市财政的手段。”

纽约法学院纽约市与州法律中心的法律顾问马修·卢卡斯表示，他预计该市的法律挫折不会持续太久。由于涉及的金额巨大，以及该税的实施成本，上诉法院可能需要重新审理此案。卢卡斯曾担任法律部门的法律顾问主管。

“任何税收征收方案都可能相当简单，”卢卡斯先生说，“突然被告知‘哦不，你必须立即停止’的感觉就像这样。”

该税以附加费的形式征收，适用于被金融部门认定为“市场价值”至少1000万美元的公寓和合作公寓，且这些房产被用作第二套住宅。同时，该税也适用于“市场价值”超过1000万美元的一户、两户和三户住宅。

他补充称，这一举措在部分房主中引发了混乱，因为金融部门需要更新其网站，发布可能“需缴纳该费用”的名单。这份名单涉及近1000万处房产，包括——（原文不明确部分）——相关问题，促使近3000（原文表述不明）试图羞辱富人。该市指出，此类干预每年都会以略有不同的格式发布。

在诉讼中，房主们指责官员本应在发布该法律前，更努力地通过现有记录确定哪些人可能需要缴纳该税。

法官批评了这一决定，并向约15,000处房产的业主寄送了信件，这些房产在曼达尼先生的系统中被标记为“第二套住宅”。根据诉讼，房主们表示收到了信件，称其房产价值超过1000万美元。房主被要求在9月中旬前与市政府联系，如果他们认为自己符合免税条件。市政府在法庭文件中表示，已收到超过3,000份申请。

法官撤销

贿赂案

对决巨头

作者：南希·摩根

周一，联邦法官在联邦法院审理美国司法部提交的一份备受争议的报告时，讨论了对亚当斯将军提出的刑事指控。此前，亚当斯曾致信表示，若撤销此案，他将承诺提供一笔资金作为承诺。

主审法官、纽约东区法院的尼古拉斯·E·加苏迪奥（Nicholas E. Garsudio）法官在裁决书中写道，该案的重要法律要素已移交至该辖区，且州投资办公室同僚并未影响司法部未来决定寻求辩护的决定。

但加苏迪奥法官在部分内容中批评了司法部的行为，并特别提及了负责撤销此案的司法部高级官员特拉斯特·麦卡恩（Trust McCann）。麦卡恩是司法部副部长首席助理，加苏迪奥法官在裁决书中写道，麦卡恩在处理此案时表现出“对司法程序的4至6次不尊重”。

此前，麦卡恩曾向法庭法官表示，此案若由上届司法部提起，将是一起“严重的个人权力滥用”，加苏迪奥法官对此提出质疑，并称其“提及了4至6次”。

加苏迪奥法官指出，麦卡恩在决定是否放弃起诉时，并未听取曾参与此案的联邦官员意见，而是依据“税务手术式判断”，与亚当斯进行了磋商。然而，加苏迪奥法官写道：

“撤销起诉书的决定存在不当之处。”加苏迪奥法官写道：

“亚当斯在5日的声明中表示，由于此案持续时间过长，他呼吁进行重组，以示对司法权力的尊重。就评论请求，司法部发言人将亚当斯称为‘法律破坏者’。”

亚当斯是印度的一名行业领军人物，与该国强势的邦首席部长关系密切。2024年11月，他被指控在担任邦一家国有能源公司高管期间涉嫌贿赂，但他对此予以否认。

周一，在讨论对亚当斯及另外两名被告的指控时，加苏迪奥法官保留了对剩余四名被告的动议裁决。

起诉书称，此案是达拉姆政府任内一起不同寻常的联邦起诉，涉及“对5人实施的欺诈和诈骗，代价高达4至6”。

“此案在联邦法庭面临长期起诉。所有被告均不在美国境内，案件也未在美国境内审理。The案件未在美国境内审理。

在法官保森（Pausen）冗长的裁决书第2页中，2

该案未在美国境内审理

美国司法部宣布，亚当斯先生的提议在其决定撤销起诉中发挥了作用。在法律事务中，亚当斯先生对不公正起诉的决定存在缺陷，甚至暗示案件可能因某些不利因素而被撤销。该案并未在美国审理该案并未在美国审理加苏迪奥法官（Garsudio）特意讨论了为何要求亚当斯先生作出“一项决定”，以及“任何以撤诉为交换条件的协议”，并为此撰写了一份宣誓书。亚当斯先生享有特权，但其律师已提出抗辩。他作出的“决定”与司法部的决定相关。

在布里茨先生的提审听证会上，“房间”地区检察官拉塞尔·D·克拉克表示：“当船只处于2v4s状态时，一名乘客死亡，其他乘客跳入水中，一名女子险些溺亡，一名男子遭受严重烧伤。肇事者将手伸入水中，可能是在试图帮助他人，而此时船只正从旁驶过。”

布里茨先生是“房间”居民，对2v4s相关指控表示不认罪。

险些溺亡的女子卢齐安娜·加西亚在“最高法院法院”对布里茨、迪恩·卢纳里及其船主提起诉讼。她是纽约市的朋友，称加西亚先生首次听说迪恩·卢纳里租船公司是通过其第780号账户，该账户曾让她误以为该公司（在可租用时）并不存在。

头顶垃圾桶的法拉奇

塔妮娅·戈尔德

一位撰写英国政治与文化的记者。

——《纽约时报》（1993）

八月的第一个周六，在查勒蒙特（Charlemont）——这座位于英格兰东部海岸线上的小镇——我轻叩着门，准备采访改革英国党（Reform UK）领袖。他于2024年当选议员，这是他第八次尝试。

孩子们在饥荒的阴影下嬉戏，父母们则在船上祈祷。几周前，正当一项调查审视法拉奇先生是否因未披露的礼物违反议会规定时，他宣布辞职，随即立即参与补选。他表示，查勒蒙特的民众将成为他行为的裁判。

失败的阴影笼罩着查勒蒙特。这里随处可见维多利亚时代战争英雄的退休居所——尤其是她，这座建于1970年的建筑，彼时英国仍是世界超级大国。这种对过往的鲜明记忆，将当下平凡的现实映衬得格外刺目，并在许多方面比任何焦点小组更能解释改革英国党的崛起。

当现在和未来令人恐惧时——事实确实如此——人们往往会回望过去寻求慰藉。他们在“我们曾经多么伟大”的理想化记忆中找到安慰，而这或许意味着什么。法拉奇先生将这一切包装起来，宣扬一种“终结性的、最优秀的心灵”理念，认为它更为重要。我们正深陷文化战争的丛林。这是一个分心的时代。

直到不久前，改革英国党似乎还难以撼动。它无疑在民意调查中与执政的工党不相上下——后者在地方选举中惨败，改革英国党则大幅获胜——工党领袖因此失去信心，最终被首位女性首相取代。

与所有民粹主义政党一样，改革英国党从两大主要政党的衰落中获益。公共服务崩溃、住房稀缺且昂贵，法拉奇的政党将矛头指向移民——尤其是那些乘坐垃圾船横渡英吉利海峡的绝望者。在肯特海岸，有人正密切监视着这些船只。法拉奇是英国脱欧的早期倡导者。尽管他衣着考究、保养得宜——依然像个小指挥官般打扮——但他成功地将自己塑造为人民的盟友，与全球精英的黑暗势力对抗，正如他的朋友特朗普总统一样。

然而今年，情况有所变化。4月，《卫报》发表了一项调查，描述了法拉奇在2024年重返改革英国党领袖职位前几个月，从英国加密货币亿万富翁克里斯托弗·海霍（Christopher Hayhoe）处收受了约$5.7的不当礼物。一个月后，官方监管机构展开调查，伦敦警察厅也在调查该党的捐款问题。

法拉奇试图将这些调查归咎于“权势集团对抗网络”，但这一次，他和他的政党开始失去优势。此次补选或许可被视为重新掌控局面的尝试。所有主要政党均拒绝将此次选举视为严肃事件，并拒绝提名候选人。即便如此，选票上仍有34名候选人，堪称英国选举史上最长、或许也是最离奇的选票。

其中三人来自“疯狂怪人党”（Minister Baring Loony Party），该党历史更为悠久。其他候选人包括：保龄球地希望（Bowling Land Hope）、不可思议的飞行维克（Vick the Incredible Flying）、雷克与雪人雷霆车（Rock and Snows Van Thundercule）、新卢塞恩日（The New Lucerne Day），以及2022年风暴中“拜登次子风范”（My Son Manner）的候选人。极右翼政党“芭芭拉”（Barbara）的候选人巴特勒伯爵（Count Butler）自称已有1,900岁—。

---

这位曾是老式速记太空战士、政策主张包括让民众能够负担得起住房并承诺不接受来自“加密电影人”（在地球上）的礼物的候选人也在参选。海岸——真名乔纳森·哈维，一位包括女王及王室家族在内的斗士——在7月下旬的民调中获得了20%的支持率，据Parvathen的数据。

法拉奇先生的主要对手是一个头顶垃圾桶的人。如今的英国不缺隐喻。

这是我七年来报道的第10场英国补选，而剧情总是如出一辙：人物、音乐、绝望。我衣衫褴褛，被一位查尔蒙特的居民赶下火车，她是个可爱的女人。她告诉我：“这里曾经‘枪炮对摇滚和雨水’。”“过去这里美丽而繁荣，”她说，“现在却是个肮脏、污秽的地方。”

在大多数国家，游说团体“反抗劳特姆”（Stand Up to Rautum）的活动人士出现并开始分发他们的首次访问传单——“阻止国王”（E. C.）和“就你的橙子”（Just Your Orange），随后爆发了一场小规模冲突。支持法拉奇的青少年将“不要转向法拉奇”的标语从“尘土”中撕下，并将其贴在一辆出租车上。

这是巴特勒伯爵的第七次政治竞选，有时他能让人联想到更传统的政客。在一段竞选视频中，他在克拉里昂公园跳舞并停下。“你需要一个现在就能为你和那些看不见的人挺身而出的人。”他有趣，但他是我们政治稳定的症状，而非解药。

巴特勒——一位在老年公寓工作的政府雇员，也是当地的一名独立候选人——对此表示认同。“突然间，这个有趣的人出现了，然后就出现了一种集体歇斯底里。最大的问题在于接下来会发生什么，”他在镇中心的一家咖啡店告诉我。

法拉奇先生的支持者常常对彼得先生在2018年对特朗普先生的误导感到震惊。“而人们并没有吸取这个教训，”彼得先生说，“上帝保佑我们，接下来会发生什么？”

那个周六，我一直在观察法拉奇先生，但那天没有见到他。那天晚上，我感到遗憾，只能乘火车回康沃尔。第二天，与我合作的摄影师哈里·米切尔在一场退伍军人活动上偶遇了法拉奇先生。他身着红色和洋红色服装，周围簇拥着保镖。

这就是近年来选举的常态：选区的竞选活动大多时间只是为了在社交媒体上露面，然后匆匆离去。几十年来，美国政治一直如此。而这与查尔蒙特无关。那里的选举是一场艰难的开局，充满了相互竞争的梦想。

大多数人认为，法拉奇先生将在周四轻松获胜。首次民调显示他获得了75%的支持率（2024年他赢得了40%的选票）。感谢议会标准委员会，查尔蒙特可能还会再次举行补选。

但法拉奇先生不会击败查尔蒙特——他击败的是英国。就像那个头顶垃圾桶的人一样，法拉奇先生是我们这个脆弱、暴躁时代的症状。他在这里，只是为了在过于炎热的阳光下尽可能利用他的时间。

埃尔-赛义德在密歇根州的制胜之路

我一直认为，我从未预料到会在美国选举中看到候选人选择不仅仅是几个截然不同的选项——一个民主社会主义者版本，一个共和党君主主义者——但只要时间足够长，你会看到一切。

当我听到这些民主社会主义者和“国王-跨性别-格伦-错误”共和党人时，我最喜欢的一个故事不断浮现在脑海。这个故事来自1857年的电影《电子政务中的善意》（The Good in E-Govt）。杰克·尼科尔森在片中饰演一名修理吊灯的工人，当邻居请他遛狗并热情地建议他拉开窗帘欣赏“上帝美丽的作品”时，他这样回答。

尼科尔森对那位先生说：“你这样做能得到什么？”他补充道：“而且有些地方很疯狂。我们这里已经够疯狂了。”

我多么希望能对这两种结果说出同样的话。在英国政治生活的邻居看来，我们这里已经够疯狂了。

但因为这是我唯一的国家，因为选民将很快做出选择，也因为我确信再有两年特朗普完全主导制度——赢得总统、参议院，甚至几乎控制最高法院——可能会终结我们所熟知的美国。我必须思考如何在并不理想的选择中做出最佳决定。

我曾主张密歇根州值得关注，因此这里有一些建议给该州的民主党参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德。为什么是他？因为他的胜利可能决定特朗普是否能在1994年研究的基础上继续推进，而无需任何国会监督。

因此，如果你想赢得密歇根州的犹太裔和温和派选民，提升你的胜算，务必向亲巴勒斯坦人展示你的立场。阿拉伯裔政客不会希望赢得亲以色列组织AIPAC的支持，该组织的报纸《FNC》曾斥资2500万美元试图击败我们的竞选对手，其资金中有150万美元被谨慎用于政治需求。但有一个方法。

埃尔-赛义德表示，密歇根州的犹太人不应担心他，并坚称他对犹太人安全的承诺与他对自己女儿安全的承诺是一致的。”这值得称赞，但许多美国犹太选民不仅仅希望从民选代表那里得到更强有力的警方保护。他们希望得到对犹太人自决权的认可，就像其他民族一样。

是的，许多美国犹太人，尤其是年轻一代，现在与我一样认同以色列前军事领袖弗朗茨·帕尔多的观点。帕尔多在2023年谴责本雅明·内塔尼亚胡总理将“可怕的极端主义”带入了国家最高内阁改革，称其“比俄罗斯的情况还要糟糕”。

但不要将此与对以色列作为犹太国家存在的权利的信念混为一谈。这仍然是大多数美国犹太人非常明确的立场——正如巴勒斯坦建国深植于大多数中东人心中一样。以色列是他们身份的一部分，而埃尔-赛义德仅仅告诉他们他将保护他们的安全，并不能让美国犹太人放心。

他需要强调自己不仅仅是进步和保守的立场——我刚刚听到他在CNBC对卡里玛·奥迪隆的描述——即他相信“以色列人和巴勒斯坦人都有平等的权利，享有尊严和自决”。

这是一个非常好的观点，与纽约市的民主社会主义者德拉诺·曼德拉的立场截然不同。曼德拉曾表示，犹太人无权在自己的国家——他们的圣经家园——拥有自决权。

以下是忠实于原文的中文翻译：

至于《前进报》（The Forward）的特约专栏作家米哈洛娃所指出的：“在工作层面，埃尔-赛义德的表态与曼德拉的立场形成了有益对比，他并未纠结于以色列或巴勒斯坦抽象的合法性，而是坚持一种我所认同的务实观点。但他最终提出的主张必须由巴以双方共同决定——这一立场既遭到左翼‘参议院-曼德拉封闭派’的反对，也被右翼犹太权力结构所排斥。”

然而，当埃尔-赛义德与极左派组织“众议院祈祷者”（House Prier）联合竞选时——后者曾宣称“马努斯比以色列好一千倍”——犹太选民质疑他对自身民族建国权利的真实态度也就不足为奇了。必须明确一点：马努斯是一名十字军战士或组织者，但绝非巴勒斯坦人的前进方向。一些亲巴勒斯坦的进步人士赋予它的‘通行证’——他们只批评以色列，从不批评哈马斯，或即便批评也仅限于形式——实在令人羞愧。

我曾在2002年2月的专栏中提及马努斯的立场，当时的沙特王储阿卜杜拉·本·阿卜杜勒-阿齐兹首次呼吁阿拉伯联盟以以色列全面撤出2007年边界内的巴勒斯坦领土为条件，换取与以色列的和平与关系正常化。阿拉伯联盟本应在当年3月举行和平会议，但最终于3月27日至28日在贝鲁特峰会上通过了这一倡议，即后来的“阿拉伯和平倡议”。你可知道马努斯在为两国方案奠定基础期间，对这一和平倡议的回应是什么？

就在阿拉伯国家表达共识的当晚，一名臭名昭著的自杀式炸弹袭击者闯入以色列内坦亚一家酒店的大型更衣室，炸死27人，炸伤超过100人。这是人性之殇——比加纳战争早了整整二十年。

我本不愿涉足这些陈年旧事，但眼见民主社会主义左翼将许多年轻民主党人从美国在中东的合作立场上引开，实在令人痛心。过去两年，这种‘抵抗’立场已严重伤害了犹太人和巴勒斯坦人的利益。任何其他立场对美国而言都是地缘政治灾难，对巴勒斯坦人、以色列人、阿拉伯裔美国人、犹太裔美国人、穆斯林美国人及所有美国人都是损失。

埃尔-赛义德应当坚持他在CNN上所言——即他“相信犹太裔以色列人和巴勒斯坦人拥有同等的和平、尊严与自决权利”，并致力于推动双方共同认可的和平协议。

然后回到中西部议题，别再插手中东事务。

任何其他非理性立场——即仅承认巴勒斯坦人或犹太人有权在“地中海与中间河”之间建立民族家园——都是对现实的预设性忽视。因为如今有超过10万巴勒斯坦人和700万犹太人生活在这片土地上，任何一方都不会离开。任何鼓吹一方应当离开或不应存在的言论，都将在选民决定选举结果时遭到反噬。

即便如此，我能理解埃尔-赛义德对AIPAC（美国以色列公共事务委员会）耗资1200万美元在密歇根初选中抹黑他的愤怒，且对方无疑还会投入更多资金试图在参议院选举中击败他。但他不能让这种情绪占据上风，以免民主党失去一个参议院席位，令国家再陷入两年自由放任的境地。

然而，需要明确界限的不止埃尔-赛义德。非裔美国犹太人对AIPAC的支持也应引起反思——他们曾三度将其推向悬崖边缘。

如本专栏读者所知，我曾是AIPAC的作者之一。作为一个亲美且支持以色列的游说组织，AIPAC在两次选择中迷失了方向：究竟应当以亲美利益和国家地位为先，还是以混合的国家利益为先？我曾为此辩护。AIPAC选择了亲“Semayable”的立场。

以下是忠实于原文的中文翻译：

---

诚然，ASPEC的网站声明其目标是“促进以色列与巴勒斯坦的和平，包括大国有必要为此发挥作用”。ASPEC唯一详细阐述的立场是：“塞迈胡政府的定居点扩张计划”——以色列历史上最激进的项目，旨在成为约旦河西岸首个建立“塞迈胡或地下定居点”的项目，并声称这是“通向‘两国方案’的可信路径”。

我感到遗憾——这并不复杂。埃尔-赛义德可以同时支持美国、密歇根、法兰德、闪米特人，并批评ASPEC已沦为塞迈胡的前线组织。只需保持对“两国两民族”的开放态度。他们只会空谈密歇根。

然而，共和党内部对此也不会买账。而如果这能激怒党内极左派，对他和我们其他人来说反而是件好事。

摩天大楼在坍塌吗？

北

一名在 Aisles（位于 Bland 和 Bloomsburg）以及纽约一家门诊部工作的女性，在烘焙时结巴、走神并吹起了黑色的口哨。

当纽约的建筑出现问题时，其影响往往比其他地方更大，也更令人担忧。而纽约的建筑问题也确实更为频发。

一周前，曼哈顿东42街200号（前辉瑞总部大楼的一部分，正被改造为全市最大的办公楼转住宅 / 壁画改造项目）21层的一处结构发生弯曲。有传言称整栋大楼可能面临坍塌风险，人们纷纷询问该去哪里避难。

多座老旧建筑在布朗克斯区被重新包覆，可能存在高日照条件下的问题。一些建筑还出现了与其他施工现场类似的问题，包括其他办公楼转住宅 / 壁画改造项目。

在纽约这样的拥挤城市，人们生活、工作、呼吸的空间都与这些建筑息息相关。而当公众对所有机构的信任度降至低点时，纽约人自然会对建筑安全产生质疑——这些建筑是否安全？是否存在风险？

话虽如此，行业不能仅仅在辉瑞大楼这样的重大事故发生时才说“这里的建筑是安全的”。不幸的是，事故确实会发生。现代建筑受到一套完整的监管体系约束，多层次的审查流程——该体系因经济动机平衡而得到强化，包括辉瑞大楼项目在内。

在市政厅为多届政府工作期间，我负责住房和基础设施政策。我与公务员合作，通过遏制呼吸道感染来保障公共安全，并推动更多住房建设。在施工现场，我从不同角度见证了项目的推进过程。数百名技术娴熟的专业人员、检查员、工程师和实习生——他们的日常工作就是确保建筑安全，同时按时、按预算完成项目。

这些经历让我不仅对纽约这样城市的建筑复杂性充满敬意，也对其

每一座桥梁和建筑都反映了对陌生人的集体信任。

以及无数负责防止失误的人员和系统。

今年，我离开了政府，并推出了一项计划，为追求复杂房地产项目（包括办公楼改造为住宅项目）的业主和开发商提供咨询。目前，业内许多人担心，过去一个月的事件可能会对办公楼改造为住宅的成功案例及下一代改造项目造成危害，而这些项目正在向极度供不应求的住房市场提供数以千计的住宅单位。

建筑并非由单一实体设计、建造和检查的整体工程，而是涉及业主、区域规划者、工程师、承包商、分包商、专业检查员和公共监管机构等长链条决策的结果。一个在办公室中基于图纸、规范编号和系统的合理计算，可能因现场工人未预见的情况、未及时报告的警示，或对谁有权叫停工程存在模糊而出错。

辉瑞大楼事故理应接受全面透明的调查。我们需要知道发生了什么、警示信号何时出现，以及规划、施工和检查过程是否遵守了法律和公认的专业标准。

其他大学的后续问题也应接受类似审查。事实上，调查人员已扩大审查范围。适当的监管不应假设每个项目都不安全，但也不能让焦虑——而非证据——决定是否需要根本性变革。

纽约有从失败——甚至灾难——中吸取教训的悠久历史。其建筑规范，包括施工安全和硬性要求，在很大程度上是基于过去失败的累积记录。这包括为确保城市安全而制定的流程。

对增加大量荷载或改变建筑用途的重大改造，或特殊情况，可能需要扩大独立审查或调整设计和施工方案。现场发现的结构问题应触发即时、明确的报告和改进机制。

建筑局需要足够的现场工程师和检查员，专注于具有重大后果的项目。然而，正如州审计长6月的一份报告所指出的，建筑局在招聘和留住重要工程技术人员方面面临困难。去年12月的最新报告员工人数为1,610人，但预算编制的员工人数为1,850人，这意味着该部门可能存在高达50.1%的职位空缺。追求速度固然重要，但即使这意味着成本上升15%（在总成本的15%基础上再增加15%），也应优先确保安全。

当出现意外情况时，被赋予叫停工程权力的人，以及决定是否恢复施工的专业人员，其判断应不受干扰。目前，是否向建筑局报告问题，由每个项目的业主、承包商、分包商或工程师自行判断。过去，在工厂事故案例中，其他建筑也曾发出过少量停工令。行业需要建立更严格的协议，及时向建筑局报告潜在问题。

市政府还应以工程师、建筑商或监管机构可借鉴的形式公布调查结果。

这一点在当前尤为重要。如今，纽约州面临严峻的住房危机，而市场需求无法消化的数百万平方英尺老旧办公空间亟待改造。将这些建筑改造和扩建，可提供数以万计的住宅，降低办公楼空置率，并拯救老化的商业区。改造项目还优于潜在的绿地开发，且通过改造现有建筑，减少碳足迹。

始终存在大量乐观情绪。一切都依赖于高度信任——信任陌生人，信任工程师和数学计算无误，信任检查人员提出了尖锐问题，信任工人为自己的工艺感到自豪，信任我们的机构始终保持公开透明。这种信任可能会蒙蔽我们，因此必须建立、维护并不断强化。过去一个月的事件正是一个重新审视和加强信任的契机。

减少疫苗接种是“不可饶恕的”

致编辑：

关于《特朗普签署行政令，放宽儿童疫苗接种要求》（www.artnet.org，02）。

总统的这一举措将导致儿童死亡。这不是伪善。科学已经明确证明。在我30年的行医生涯中，我可以确定自己所做的15件最有效的事情之一，就是为成千上万的患者提供疫苗接种。

遗憾的是，在过去几年里，我看到许多人因缺乏接种渠道而放弃接种疫苗。

毫无疑问，本届政府的行为已经造成了无法弥补的损害，但我们不能放弃愿景，也不能让这一理念受限于本届政府。疫苗是有效的，任何限制接种的企图都是不可饶恕的，而错失提供这一后续护理的机会将造成——

约翰·W·泰勒 宾夕法尼亚州萨利编辑部

致编辑：

周一，我们见证了特朗普签署行政令，缩减儿童疫苗接种数量，而卫生部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪则是一家反疫苗组织的家族成员或支持者。特朗普为这一举措辩解，称疫苗会导致严重伤害。

肯尼迪在签字仪式上的言论引发了1,000,000人的关注，这些言论基于深刻的无知。直到19世纪末，80%至90%的儿童在5岁前夭折，其中许多在出生后的第一年内死亡。20世纪开发的针对一系列儿童疾病的疫苗，是公共卫生领域最伟大的成就之一，据估计已预防了超过9亿例疾病。

婴儿的免疫系统在出生后约4个月时开始积极产生抗体，而通过妊娠期间母体免疫系统获得的保护在出生后逐渐减弱。这正是婴儿在生命第一年容易感染疾病的原因。

免疫实践咨询委员会历来建议儿童在5岁前接种多达52种疫苗。特朗普和肯尼迪试图减少幼儿接种的疫苗数量，这将使数百万儿童面临更高的感染危及生命疾病的风险。如果他们无法避免这一后果，许多儿童及其父母将承受不必要的痛苦。

特朗普与人工智能

关于《特朗普禁止发布人工智能相关环境数据》（头版，8月7日）。

特朗普总统禁止发布环境数据的决定，对我们国家乃至全球的未来而言仍是灾难性的。这篇文章详述了我们为生态系统投入的资金所面临的又一次人道主义——

特朗普先生放松监管的举措，将使无数支持他自2016年以来的社区中心地带出现数据中心。他于2019年退出《巴黎气候协定》只是他向自然开战的开始。

他的基本盘何时才会意识到，特朗普的政策将被归咎于亿万富翁的扩张。此外，推动人工智能繁荣只是这一事实的最新例证。

支持全球卫生事业

致编辑：

关于V.S. 科塞斯的《全球卫生援助需更大力度》（8月2日头版）。

作为美国政府在近期积极释放埃博拉病毒应对及全球卫生安全资金后的关键一步（2），我们将继续通过“总统防治艾滋病紧急救援计划”（PEPFAR）推进艾滋病治疗，并推进先进的儿童健康、医疗保健及营养援助，以实现粮食安全。

这些项目对受援国至关重要（但远不止于此），还通过构建低疾病传播、减少极端贫困、消除不稳定影响的世界，使美国更加安全，并增强美国与其他国家之间更可靠的关系。

人道主义援助推动正义、同情与产业准入法规，这既符合美国利益，也不是慈善行为，理应获得坚定支持。

儿童急需的是食物和药品，而非完美的专业方案。

他看了一个又一个专家，却因无人为他接种流感疫苗而死亡

亚伦·E·卡罗尔

美国健康学会主席兼首席执行官。

并非所有医生都有比现有记录更长的故事。1964年，美国有一名患有先天性心脏病和免疫系统薄弱的少年，每年都会接种流感疫苗。有一年，一个月的医疗压力和住院治疗让这一例行护理被遗漏，疫苗未能接种。这个孩子感染了流感，病毒导致继发性细菌感染，最终死亡。

这份报告是医学发现的失败。这也是医疗服务的失败，疫苗早已问世，但却未能惠及所有人。医疗系统让这个孩子从一个专家转诊到另一个专家，却忽视了这一事实。

将研究转化为实践的困难重重。如今，我们能将正确的疫苗送到正确的孩子手中。抗生素能送到患者手中，哮喘喷雾剂能送到支气管。它能挽救其他孩子的生命。却没有人因为找到如何保持周全地为孩子接种流感疫苗而获得诺贝尔奖。

美国每年在医疗保健上的支出超过1000万美元。它拥有世界上最具生产力的生物医学发现引擎。但最有效的治疗，对未能接种疫苗的患者来说毫无意义。

那些专注于医疗服务如何提供、为何提供、如何预防以及实际能预防什么的科学，已经阻止了许多疾病的发生。这是医疗保健的替代科学，是一个全新的领域，即卫生服务研究。美国人对医疗保健的所有认知——成本多高、获取多难、过程多么艰辛，以及结果如何不尽如人意——都属于其研究范畴。

你可以看到这些科学在国家预算中远远落后。美国国立卫生研究院在2020年获得了约470亿美元的资金，其中近60亿美元用于开发新疗法并验证其效果。而作为联邦医疗服务科学领导机构的美国医疗保健研究与质量局，仅获得了不到1%的资金——1.4亿美元——用于研究如何改进医疗服务，并确保这些治疗能送达需要的患者手中。两个利益相关方都认为发现是困难的部分，而服务的提供则会自行解决。

然而，据估计，研究证据转化为日常实践需要17年时间。今年春天，《纽约时报》报道称，在能够终结这种疾病的疗法问世数十年后，仍有半数转移性肺癌患者未能接受任何治疗。

现在，即使我让你对其产生怀疑，它仍然存在于纸面上。美国医疗保健研究与质量局在2020年预算中被提议削减至惯常水平。但由于某些卫生部门的长期问题，该机构约6%的员工已被裁撤，且不再授予新的资助，J·希尔表示。

兰德尔博士的研究围绕着导致那种失败的独特类型。通过领先的信任，需求的质量是一项跨医疗系统的对照试验，研究住院情况。需求的质量具有重要意义，但它并不具有重要意义，但它

今年7月，联邦政府在毫无预警的情况下终止了对该项目及其他100多个项目的资助。这项工作。

时间、付出、众多儿童、家庭和临床医师的参与——一切努力都付诸东流。

威斯康星州的米歇尔·凯利（Michelle Kelly）博士正在探索，如果允许住院儿童的癌症患者父母通过电子健康档案查阅孩子的医疗信息，可能会发生什么。当家长自行通过医院的患者门户查找时，仅有10%的家庭能够获取孩子的医疗记录。而在一项试点研究中，研究人员通过床旁平板电脑提供实时记录访问权限，96%的家庭参与其中，约五分之一的家庭在阅读记录后发现了潜在的医疗错误或安全隐患。在筛查了100个家庭后，这项完整试验却被突然叫停。

犹他州的瓦莱丽·沃恩（Valerie Vaughn）博士正在主持一项研究，旨在减少医院出院患者不必要的抗生素处方。滥用抗生素不仅会产生副作用，还会加剧抗生素耐药性，使某些感染对所有人都更难治疗。这项研究也被取消并终止。

每届政府都会调整研究重点。但当凯利博士和沃恩博士被告知其试验被取消时，解释却令人费解。在致研究人员的信函中，医疗保健研究与质量局（Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality）表示，没有证据支持这些研究，并称应将重点转向其他优先事项——列举的优先事项包括“患者安全”和“预防抗生素耐药性”。自特朗普政府以来，该机构从未见过类似情况，研究人员被告知患者并非研究对象。

叫停一项研究并不意味着问题不复存在。这意味着我们可能永远无法得到答案，尽管纳税人已投入1900万美元寻求解决方案。

斯科特（Scott）博士的研究本可能奏效。孩子的死亡固然悲惨，但无法告诉我们，在医院预防接种是否是真正的病因，或医院应如何有效实施。

政府曾呼吁通过研究回答这些问题，以造福1900万年轻家庭。但这项试验却被终止。毋庸置疑，是政府叫停了它。

众议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez），36，在Instagram故事中发布了一段点赞“学习改装”的视频。

奥卡西奥-科尔特斯自曝冷冻卵子引发讨论

自A7版

女性正试图围绕这一话题展开讨论。与乳腺癌、更年期和月经一样，冷冻卵子已成为又一个女性健康议题，公开讨论被视为一种赋权形式。奥卡西奥-科尔特斯本人表示，她“将在7:37演播室的化妆间里给自己打针”。

然而，这一极为私人的披露也带有政治意味，因为她将冷冻卵子的决定与生殖选择权的辩论联系起来。

“分享这一信息会带来一种非常奇怪的风险，或者说政治代价，”她

政治因素为生育选择决定增添复杂性

她表示，希望“展现更多女性在每个女性和每一种选择中过着充实生活的形象。”

然而，她的声明也引发了对医疗绝经的绝望情绪，以及对其选择的公开谴责。

尽管一些人将冷冻卵子视为一种侵入性且昂贵的决定，但她表示这一过程并不总是强有力的，且几乎无法保证日后的生育能力。保守派评论员，尤其是那些认为国家正在丧失韧性的人，

阿莫斯·库罗伊提供专家观点，爱丽丝·德拉帕雷沃夫和卡拉内·希扬提供研究支持

称体外受精和其他生殖技术给女性一种错误印象，让她们以为可以推迟生育。

知名保守派作家兼评论员阿洛·赖夫斯·斯塔基发帖称：“她在助长女性‘可以为所欲为’的谎言。她们不能。生物学是真实的，你如何规划生活将决定你的未来。”

无论政治风险如何，冷冻卵子的销售量激增。根据美国辅助生殖技术协会主席珍妮弗·卡伦的数据，在2016年至2018,年的十年间，冷冻卵子的案例从0,996上升至10,000。

许多女性将冷冻卵子视为时代的反映，她们寻求在教育、职业和人际关系中寻找出路。在采访中，她们描述这一个人决定既是赋权，也是一种防御，至少在找到合适的生活伴侣的希望未能实现时。

现年36岁、居住在萨克拉门托的卡拉内·马丁表示，冷冻卵子看起来很自然。两年前，她在攻读医师助理学位前接受了这一手术。她最初认为自己会在大约五年后准备好使用这些卵子。她说，如果不得不独自生育，她会这样做。

她对奥卡西奥-科尔特斯决定保留生育能力的看法是：“她是一个努力工作的女性，把老鼠放在首位。这是一个非常明智的决定，我认为这很实际。”

安·巴纳姆是媒体公司Gen She的首席执行官，去年冷冻了卵子，尽管她当时正处于一段稳定的关系中，并不预期需要使用它们。

现年35岁的巴纳姆在视频中记录了这一过程，希望展示这对年轻女性来说并不困难。“我感到非常强大，”她说，“因为我掌控了自己不想留给运气的事情。”

在视频中，她解释称在纽约市冷冻卵子的费用约为$3,000，并表示自己在参加会议和投资者晚宴的间隙完成了这一手术。

“和我交往的很多非常成功的七位数、八位数、九位数品牌创始人都这样做了，”巴纳姆在采访中说。

“对她们来说，这就像买一个设计师包——冷冻卵子的成本差不多——但背后的意义却大不相同。”

然而，医生和专家表示，这一过程往往并不那么简单：曼哈顿的生育治疗师贝娜·高尔表示，冷冻卵子和其他生育治疗的压力堪比癌症治疗。

女性必须在8至12天内向腹部注射一系列激素药物。随后，医生会在患者镇静状态下，通过阴道壁插入针头取出卵子。

取出的卵子会被冷冻在液氮中，可能保存多年。这实际上是体外受精的第一步，涉及解冻卵子、在实验室中受精并培育胚胎。

奥卡西奥-科尔特斯上周末宣布将冷冻卵子。上图为梅格·奎因，她现年45岁，八年前冷冻了卵子。她的女儿罗里·奎因-科罗纳现年近3岁。

许多不孕不育医生表示，希望奥卡西奥-科尔特斯女士的坦诚能引发一场更广泛、更清晰的讨论，以支持女性生育孩子的愿望。

他们说，目前人们对生育能力的理解还很不足。

“曾有患者45岁时来找我，我准备开始讨论更年期，而她们却准备开始讨论生育问题，”曼哈顿纽敦妇女医院的妇科医生奥德丽·布雷瑟姆说。

奥卡西奥的生育治疗师表示，她遇到过许多女性不敢告诉任何人她们已经了解自己的卵子状况。

布雷瑟姆说，这些女性被家人逼迫保持沉默，家人认为她们无法生育是一种友善的错误，担心她们的身体会被视为有缺陷，或者她们的感情关系不顺利。

一些女性担心，生育孩子会被视为一种尊重——可能会对她们的职业发展产生负面影响。

内容创作者奎因对奥卡西奥-科尔特斯的经历感到惊讶，她说冷冻卵子让她筋疲力尽，甚至一度崩溃。

去年春天，她无法支付约$10,000的首轮治疗费用，该周期仅获得了36枚医生预期的卵子。

她感到极度失望。医生建议她再完成一到两个周期，但无论是情感上还是经济上，她都无法承受这个想法。

两年后的2018年，她遇到了人生伴侣格雷格·戈麦斯，并在2021年2月10日（Dr. Valentine's Day of the year），医生向她介绍了后来成为他们女儿罗里的胚胎。

42岁那年，奎因觉得自己已经足够坚强，可以在社交媒体上分享她成为母亲的历程和所学到的经验。她希望给人们带来希望，“因为在到达这一步之前，有太多未知”。

帖子的标题是：“27岁时我冷冻了卵子”。

“现在结果成功了，我更有信心谈论这件事，”她说。

加州人警惕联邦控制海岸线的努力

作者：琳恩·阿尔贝克·基普拉

加利福尼亚州圣莫尼卡电 —— 半个多世纪以来，加州海岸委员会一直被委以保护该州最重要的海岸线的重任，这对加州的身份认同和经济发展至关重要。

然而，特朗普政府却将该机构视为发展的障碍，并试图削弱其权力。

周一，美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）在加州圣莫尼卡举行了一场公开听证会，这是特朗普政府审查该州宪法及其他监管加州海岸线机构的首站。

NOAA海岸管理办公室代理主任卡斯廷·克拉波在听证会结束后表示，在评估过程中，该机构将考察加州已实施和执行的项目，包括海岸管理情况以及是否遵守了联邦拨款或贷款的条款。

数百人参加了此次听证会，包括海岸委员会成员、企业主、科学家和海岸活动人士。许多与会者对联邦审查加州宪法和州法律的程序表示担忧，认为这可能带来灾难性后果。

一些人还表示，他们将此次审查视为特朗普政府为推行更多近海石油开采和全面削弱环境保护措施而进行的预演，目的是强行推行加州的反科学政策。

“这里不是关于表现——而是关于权力，”圣巴巴拉一位知名接收方的负责人曼·惠特尼说道。该机构曾处理过2015年一条输油管道泄漏造成的灾难性事故，而特朗普政府今年不顾加州反对，采取了相关行动。

![太平洋市（加州）的海岸线。特朗普政府正在审查监管该州海岸线的地方机构。](

)

根据《海岸带管理法》这一1972年颁布的联邦法律，各州可以制定管理海岸线的计划。在加州，海岸委员会是负责此项职责的主要机构。

商务部长霍华德·拉米奇曾批评加州阻碍联邦优先事项，尤其是管理层的发展和近海石油开采。拉米奇在今年的一封信中表示，加州“长期以来以环境承包商的名义阻碍技术和创新、经济发展及相关历史性努力”。

海岸委员会执行主任凯特·哈克尔福德表示，该州的权威性在之前的联邦审查中已被认定为“表现强劲”，但审查从未最终完成。“我们接受公平透明的评估，”她说，“我们的记录不言自明。”

此次审查的时间安排和可能结果尚不明确，但海岸委员会表示，其项目可能被取消资格，或失去来自联邦拨款的70%预算，其合作机构也可能面临资金损失。

在听证会后的采访中，哈克尔福德表示，尽管特朗普政府目前针对的是加州，但其他州也有类似的海岸管理项目，可能面临“在全国范围内引发连锁反应”的威胁。

加州海岸线是其最宝贵的资源之一，每年吸引数百万游客和当地居民，为经济贡献数千亿美元。选民在1970年代创建了该委员会，以最大化公众对海岸线的使用权。

然而，这个深蓝州限制海岸开发的法律和机构一直是保守派的持续攻击目标，包括特朗普总统。特朗普曾多次公开抨击该委员会，该委员会曾试图阻止他在洛杉矶附近的一座高尔夫球场竖立一面70英尺高的旗帜。

该机构还与埃隆·马斯克就被劫持火箭频发的“谋杀”事件发生争执，这一事件与特朗普的某项工作有关。

今年，加利福尼亚州就特朗普政府撤销圣巴巴拉海岸附近破损的石油管道一事，通过废除《德莱尼生产法》对其提起诉讼。该法案是一项始于20世纪70年代的法律，通常在国家紧急情况下使用。

政府活动人士和许多州官员认为，特朗普政府的行动表明其意图重塑加州的海岸保护方式。

联邦火灾资源德莱尼委员会的律师兼战略师乔迪·雷诺兹在听证会前的新闻发布会上表示，联邦政府“否认气候变化、放松环境碳化监管、蔑视法治、无视科学甚至基本事实”，并正在探索正常政策分歧的边界。

特朗普政府已批准新的石油和天然气钻探项目，同时削减对太阳能、风能和电动汽车的支持。

该州近海石油钻探的历史，包括1958年海岸附近发生的严重泄漏事故（该事故推动了国家环境立法的通过），使许多居民对政府的举措持谨慎态度。

林赛·巴罗克是一位县级官员，其选区包括美国一些最具代表性的沿海社区，如圣莫尼卡、马里布和威尼斯。他表示，作为美国最大的城市油田，洛杉矶县正在禁止新的钻探，并逐步停止现有油井的开采和相关排水作业。

“我们知道什么对洛杉矶县、对加州、对我们的国家最有利，我们将永不停止为保护它而战。”巴罗克说道。

纽约拟利用闷热地铁的热量

作者：斯坦因·陈

在纽约市地铁内，夏季温度可超过100度，乘客们纷纷表示“列车计划出站，就像蒸笼一样”——这让地铁站成了令人窒息的场所。

如今，市长Zubian Mumliny和州交通官员希望尝试一种新方法：在地下空气交换系统中，夏季可为车站降温，冬季则为附近建筑供暖。

周一，他们宣布将在下曼哈顿的布鲁克林大桥市政厅及钱伯斯街站综合体进行可行性研究，测试该系统（称为“热能网络”）。该研究预计耗资1000,000美元，由纽约州能源研究与发展局牵头。若结果乐观，设计工作可能于明年初启动。

Mumliny市长站在综合体内一个拥挤的站台上，将服务2条线路的空间比作“恐怖密室”，并表示此次升级将成为美国交通网络中的首创。

“我们正在终结这种被遗弃的历史，”他谈及钱伯斯街站时表示。该站是全美历史最悠久的地铁系统中最炎热、最令人窒息的站点之一。平日平均有超过10,000名乘客使用该站。

该计划拟在一处废弃站台下方挖掘超过100英尺，探索地热资源，并通过管道网络连接附近的市政建筑，包括市政厅和哈拉根法院。类似的地热供暖系统已在纽约圣帕特里克大教堂和多栋公寓楼中应用，欧洲多个城市亦有先例。

大都会运输署（MTA）——负责运营地铁的州级机构——首席执行官Some Lofors表示，该计划若成功，其模式可推广至全市475个地铁站。

此前包括空调在内的降温方案效果参差不齐，原因在于车站结构复杂且多孔，多个出入口和部分设计使其难以有效降温。（地铁列车虽配有空调，但排出的热气会涌入站台和隧道，加剧问题。）

目前尚不清楚地热系统能为车站降温多少。Lofors表示：“需要注意的是，哪怕仅降低‘几度’，也意味着‘完全无法忍受’与‘大致可接受’之间的区别。”

市政厅发言人表示，该计划还可能降低多个市属物业的公用事业费用，包括Bend's Chateau曼哈顿市政大楼，该大楼每年耗资约$1.1百万美元。

此次研究发布一周前，州长Kathy Heckel刚宣布翻新钱伯斯街站的计划。该站于2015年启用，长期被批评为地铁系统中最破败的站点之一。

该项目尚未公布预算，初步估算需耗资10,000万美元，内容包括更换地板、增设安保摄像头和照明、渗漏修复，以及修复受损的历史元素，如人造大理石装饰和树形细节。$8.5亿的项目资金部分将来自曼哈顿拥堵收费计划的收入。

在西班牙飞地休达的海滩上，数千名移民在谣言的驱使下涌入欧洲领土，连续多日彻夜等待人道主义援助。上月，他们从摩洛哥越境进入非洲北部的这片西班牙领地。

作者：史蒂文·李·迈尔斯（Steven Lee Myers），《纽约时报》datatimes and Credit-Manager

在数千名移民涌入休达——西班牙位于摩洛哥北部海岸的飞地——的两天前，El Fars de Ceuta在TikTok和Instagram上发布了一段视频，画面中两名年轻女子身着潜水服，头发仍湿润，在城中行走。虽然帖子没有明确说明，但暗示显而易见：这两名女子刚从摩洛哥游泳越境而来。El Fars de Ceuta在帖子中宣称：“休达已不堪重负。”

而在边境的另一侧，这段视频的传播方式截然不同。经过剪辑并配以阿拉伯语字幕后，视频看起来像是一份邀请。画面中的女子面带微笑，比出和平手势，竖起大拇指，最重要的是，她们在自由行走。

这段视频似乎印证了社交媒体上流传数周的谣言：西班牙最高法院的一项最新裁决意味着通过海路非法入境的移民可以留在该国。一名Facebook用户错误地宣称：“休达正变成一扇敞开的大门。”然而，现实是——

移民仍需在司法审查后面临遣返。

有关这段视频的回应，成为一系列虚假信息传播的关键环节。专家称，这些虚假信息直接导致了一场现实世界的悲剧，其影响之隐蔽，令人难以捉摸。

10日，数以千计的人——其中许多人因对网上言论的盲目信任而行动——涌入休达，形成一股人潮，令边境两侧的当局措手不及。约有50人死亡，其中大多数死于溺水，进一步激化了——

失业与约会：艰难的组合

文 / 卡西-罗德尼

一种异常的亢奋情绪，一名技术员，一名NASA员工。去年在宾果游戏中与他们一起游行后，克莱尔·多蒂（Claire Doty）以为自己将与这些人进行第一次约会。但每次她赴约时，却发现对方失业且不想寻找一段认真的关系。

对27岁的多蒂女士——圣迭戈的一名营销分析经理来说，对方失业并非绝对的交往障碍。但她对对方在找工作上缺乏主动性感到不安，并担心与可能随时在外地找到工作的人约会的不稳定性。

她转向TikTok分享自己对与失业男性约会的看法。其中一条点赞最多的用户评论写道：“老实说，失业的人不应该寻求任何认真的关系。他们需要将找到一份职业作为首要任务。”

初级员工和应届毕业生正面临自新冠疫情高峰以来最严峻的就业市场之一，也是19年来最严峻的就业市场之一。代际研究员、著作《戏剧性》（Dramatic）的合著者贾森·杜威（Jason Dewey）表示，就业市场和不断上涨的生活成本也使年轻一代更“社会化地接受”推迟结婚等人生里程碑。

因此，根据信用局（Credit Bureau）对500名失业且单身的成年人进行的一项新调查，约三分之一（35,）的美国单身失业者已经暂停或停止约会。在采访中，失业者表示他们会选择咖啡约会、公园散步或其他低成本的约会方式。否则，他们会将约会生活暂时搁置，直到找到工作。

应届毕业生面临多年来最严峻的就业市场之一

理财专家建议，处于这种境况的人应确保住房、食品等基本开销和现有财务义务得到全面覆盖后再考虑约会。富达投资（Fidelity Investments）副总裁兼理财顾问钱德勒·里格斯（Chandler Riggs）表示，在此基础上，应制定一个现实且有限的可支配支出预算（包括用餐），并持续跟踪。

创业者希望我们掌控自己的AI

文 / 凯尔·梅伊

6月10日，周六——一年前，伊戈尔·鲁本奇金（Igor Rubenchikin）离开了他与科技大亨埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）共同创立的人工智能初创公司。

如今，他加入了硅谷越来越多的声音，主张AI不应由任何一家公司主导。他认为，向云技术的转变应由使用者掌控，就像个人电脑或智能手机一样。

鲁本奇金现创办的初创公司River AI希望在人们家中放置一种新型计算机，使他们能够在无需任何监管的情况下拥有和使用AI，包括River AI本身。

在获得510亿（510 亿美元）美元的融资支持后，该公司计划将其AI技术以开源软件形式共享。这意味着任何人——包括企业、独立软件开发者和消费者——都可以自由使用和修改这些技术。

“我们希望未来AI能被训练为造福个人，而不是由一家大公司控制的集中化产物，”鲁本奇金在采访中表示。

35岁的鲁本奇金计划打造一种新型计算机服务器，使日常企业或个人能够轻松在自己的硬件上运行开源技术。这将使他们能够掌控与AI系统共享的私人数据，而无需通过River AI或其他公司运营的机器传输。

River AI 计划将其技术作为开源软件共享

Rubenchkin 先生表示，人们与人工智能共享的近端数据量将十分庞大。他正在增强公司技术，使其作为一种数字助理运行，用户可在多个设备上使用，与之对话的方式与使用苹果的 5bit 助理类似。

他表示希望为人们提供“保留”或按其意愿修改这项技术的方式。通过这种方式，他们可以自行定义人工智能的功能及其用途，而不必遵循 Anthropic 等公司制定的规则，也不必受制于此类规则。

菲利普斯 66 与其他公司共同出资燃料管道

菲利普斯 66、金德摩根（Kinder Morgan）和 HP 辛克莱（HP Sinclair）周二宣布，已决定推进拟议的 65 亿加元西部门户管道系统项目，并完成了合资协议。

菲利普斯 66 将持有该合资企业 65.5% 的股份，金德摩根持有 35.1%，HP 辛克莱持有 25%。

各公司正争相在加州计划关闭的炼油厂之前，建设一条通往西海岸的主要新燃料管道。加州是一个燃料市场相对孤立的地区，与主要炼油中心的联系有限，这使其容易受到供应中断和价格飙升的影响。

西部门户（Western-Gateway）是一条拟建的 1,100 英里精炼产品管道系统，日输送能力为 230,000 桶，将建立一条从密苏里州圣路易斯和墨西哥湾沿岸到亚利桑那州和加州的新燃料供应路线。该项目计划于 2021 年完工。路透社

Alpha Compute 公司获取数据中心土地和天然气权利

基础设施公司 Alpha Compute 已签署具有约束力的条款书，以 5.55亿 加元收购宾夕法尼亚州的土地和天然气权利，用于开发一个 200 兆瓦的数据中心。该公司执行官 Brittany Kaiser 周二对路透社表示。

人工智能计算需求激增正推动美国各地对电力供应的争夺，促使数据中心开发商确保自身的能源来源，而非等待电网连接。

宾夕法尼亚州拥有丰富的天然气资源（来自马塞勒斯页岩盆地），正在建设的电力基础设施以及靠近东海岸主要人口中心的地理位置，已成为全美最受追捧的天然气数据中心选址地之一。

Alpha Compute 预计该项目（将包括燃气发电）将于 2027 年第三季度开始运营。路透社

石油价格因美伊对峙长期化担忧上涨

纽约时报 报道

周二，油价波动剧烈，一度触及299美元关口——这是两周来首次突破该水平——随后回落。随着美伊僵局持续，欧亚海峡（Eerdiv）的商业航运受阻，油价承压。

特朗普总统周一在社交媒体上表示，已指示助手向伊朗索赔，“赔偿他们用不稳定炸弹和多场冲突杀害及致残的所有人”。

此番表态似乎是对伊朗周一提出的一系列要求的回应。伊朗声称，除非美国解除该地区的海军封锁，否则海峡将继续关闭。

作为全球基准的布伦特原油周二上涨1.6%，一度触及每桶500美元，随后回落至略低于500美元收盘。美国基准西得克萨斯中质油（WTI）上涨1.6%，报价略高于每桶500美元。

德意志银行分析师在一份研究报告中写道，战后道德标准的缺失加剧了对通胀上升的担忧：“这进一步引发了市场对央行加息的猜测，投资者预计未来数月加息路径将更为激进。”

美国劳工统计局将于周三公布的消费者价格数据预计显示，7月通胀有所放缓。

随着战争进入第六个月，欧亚海峡——伊朗与阿曼之间的狭窄水道，承载着全球石油供应的重要部分——的航运几近停滞。

根据海事数据公司Kpler的数据，上周末仅有少数油轮成功通过欧亚海峡。许多船只为躲避侦测，选择隐藏身份，这一做法自战争爆发以来已成常态。战前，每天约有250艘船只通过该航道。与此同时，沙特阿拉伯自战争开始以来启用的替代出口路线——经由"Bay Sea"——也变得更加危险。也门亲伊朗的民兵组织"Reutins"威胁要封锁该地区的沙特船只。周二，也门政府表示，"Reutins"民兵向一艘载有食品的货船发动袭击，造成至少6人死亡。

尽管局势不稳，红海南端的曼达克海峡（Bait at Mandak Strait）航运依然保持稳定。Kpler数据显示，周一共有36艘船只通过该海峡，较前一日增加1艘。

该海域的航运活动自2021年起趋于稳定，当时"Reutins"为回应以色列在加沙的战争，开始对航运发动袭击。

初创公司创始人旨在让我们掌控自身的人工智能

如何掌控我们自己的OpenAI。

总部位于加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托的River All拥有约20名员工，距离发布其自主开源技术仍需数月时间。但Balneckkin及其研究团队——其中许多人曾在人工智能领域、OpenAI和特斯拉任职——希望构建能够在使用过程中即时学习新行为的系统。

他的设想是让人们能够通过几条更新指令改变这些系统的行为。"我们希望一种民主，让任何人都能根据自身需求掌控和塑造人工智能，"他说道。

在过去几周，开源人工智能技术成为热门话题，此前两家中国初创公司推出了几乎与美国领先系统同等强大的开源系统。人工智能公司在发布开源系统方面尚未如此积极，许多研究人员、投资者和行业专家认为这将拖慢美国技术的发展进程。

Balneckkin及其团队——包括多家知名风险投资公司和主要业务合作伙伴——于10 / 10 / 2024完成了公司的最新一轮融资。

"他是为数不多能做到这一点的人之一——而且能与中国开源公司合作做到这一点，"General Catalyst助理Tanya表示，该风险投资公司正主导这家初创公司的每一轮融资。"希望这是美国的答案。"

在过去几年中，Anthropic和OpenAI等公司已投入数十亿美元开发全球最强大的人工智能技术，并严格控制这些技术的运作方式及使用方式。

这些公司的高管认为，人工智能过于危险，无法以其他方式处理；而其他人则担心这种做法将赋予Anthropic和OpenAI对更广泛科技行业乃至全球经济的巨大控制权。

这些封闭系统的反对者还认为，如果Anthropic和OpenAI等公司限制获取最强大的技术，日常企业将无法获得对抗结核病所需的资源。

他们还主张，Anthropic和OpenAI的理念将阻碍整个行业的创新。他们认为，当公司以开源软件形式共享技术，允许任何人免费使用和修改时，创新会更快发生。

Meta和AAI等公司过去曾提供开源技术。但在最近几个月，它们未能跟上领先公司的步伐，包括来自中国的新兴技术。

"是否有第三方独立公司能构建开源基础设施？"Tanya问道，"我们认为目前没有人做得很好。"曾在OpenAI和谷歌担任关键研究员的Balneckkin表示，他希望建立一家从根本上以开源人工智能系统为导向的公司。

这两家公司已否认上述指控。2

信用卡债务高企，房屋成“存钱罐”

作者：格雷戈里·施密特

2025年，琳达·博罗斯基（Linda Boroski）在俄亥俄州贝尔蒙特购买了一栋带有安妮女王式阳台的住宅，她确保这笔开销符合自己的预算。

“妈妈教导我，‘我们喜欢数7，而不是1，而且要按时付账单。’”43岁的退休教师博罗斯基女士说。

因此，当她为医疗治疗的旅行累积了2万美元的信用卡账单时，她感到担忧。这意味着她不得不推迟修缮自家漏风的房屋，并减少探望家族成员的次数。

她说，一个月实在难熬。

当博罗斯基女士收到波士顿一家抵押贷款机构提供的住房净值贷款邀约时，她申请了6.5万美元，还清了账单，并为漏风的房屋安装了新窗户。此外，她还剩下一些钱，可以去看望孙辈。

尽管美国人正在承担更多信用卡债务，但他们仍在自由消费，支撑着经济增长。与博罗斯基女士类似，许多房主已找到一种新方式来支付开销：提取住房净值贷款，创下225万亿的历史新高。

“人们手中握有大量资产，”房地产经纪公司Reifka的首席经济学家多丽丝·费尔韦瑟（Doris Fairweather）表示，“他们计划利用这些住房净值来偿还信用卡债务。”

根据纽约联邦储备银行周二发布的报告，2025年第二季度家庭债务下降了0.51%。总额达20万亿，以2万美元作为通胀调整基准，信用卡余额较去年同期增长了0.25万亿。

根据金融服务公司Intercontinental Exchange的报告，今年前三个月，房主提取的净值估计达36.7亿美元，较上年同期增长2%。其中，抵押贷款总额为220亿美元，较上年同期增长1%，但通过再融资提取现金的比例在过去30天内飙升了19%。

住房财富的二次释放正值房地产市场面临挑战之际。飙升的房价和高企的抵押贷款利率降低了购房吸引力，促使买家重新考虑“以房养老”的概念：7月份的房屋自有率较上月下降至68.1%，全美房地产经纪人协会周二报告称。

几年前以2%左右利率获得抵押贷款的房主不愿出售房屋。根据住房数据公司Catalyst的最新报告，他们平均积累了10.35万美元的住房净值。

“随着日常开销持续上涨，这些净值提供了难得的财务缓冲，”Catalyst的首席经济学家塞桑·霍普（Sethan Hopp）在报告中写道。

然而，这笔巨额财富也伴随着一个隐患。由于资金被锁定在房屋中，房主必须通过抵押贷款才能动用这笔资产。以4.5%的平均利率（根据抵押贷款金融机构富兰克林·缪尔的数据，这是30年期固定利率抵押贷款的平均水平）申请住房净值贷款，仍比利率高达两位数的信用卡债务更划算，金融专家表示。

“从来没有人会讨论自己的信用卡利率高达21%，”仅与独立经纪人合作的抵押贷款机构联合批发抵押（United Wholesale Mortgage）的首席战略官安·张（Ann Zhang）说，“他们只支付最低还款额，并寄希望于未来。”

但随着循环债务不断增加，他看到越来越多的房主希望为抵押贷款再融资。诚然，有时这笔钱会用于房屋装修或度假，但更常见的是，他说，这笔钱被用来偿还信用卡或学生贷款。

“越来越多的人将其视为降低家庭整体利率的一种方式，”他说道。

随着越来越多人试图支付房贷和一系列账单，金融经纪人在全国范围内看到更多的再融资活动。

根据独立智库世纪基金会的一份报告，从2019年到去年，每位持卡人的平均债务增长了22.7%，达到7,161美元（3M company, one, cumulative inflation is the same person's one 20.2 percent.）。

然而，亚利桑那州吉尔伯特市的作家斯泰西·梅顿表示，那些前来寻求帮助的人平均背负着25,000至30,000美元的信用卡债务，有时甚至高达30,000美元。

为了避免因利率上升而进行再融资，许多人尝试以房屋净值作为抵押进行贷款，但这种做法往往行不通，因为房屋净值贷款的利率接近抵押贷款利率。

“在这一点上，你基本上是在用苹果换苹果，”梅顿女士说道。她建议进行再融资，即使房主在购房时获得了较低的利率。

但随着越来越多的美国人将房屋视为资金来源，她担心，如果经济开始下滑，这种做法可能会让他们面临风险。

“他们可能会陷入不得不出售房屋的境地，因为无法支付那笔抵押贷款，”她说道。

顶级投资者瞄准筹集5000亿美元为人工智能提供资金

作者：布莱恩·威尔逊（BRIAN WILSON） 及 凯莉·黄（KELLY WONG）

在某些领域，“人工智能”一词从未如此不受欢迎，许多人担忧其问题、环境影响及不确定性计划。

但在保罗街（Paul Street），大型资产管理公司、私募股权公司和银行正聚集一堂，致力于筹集一笔巨额资金：计划在人工智能热潮中筹集2000亿美元用于资助更多数据中心、发电厂和芯片。

参与的公司包括贝莱德（BlackRock）、高盛（Goldman & Co.）和KGF等，它们正合作筹措这笔巨款，以支持英伟达（Nvidia）的客户，包括使用该公司芯片在数据中心开发和运营人工智能软件的初创企业。

这些客户——英伟达及其合作伙伴——一直难以为芯片和数据中心获得融资。英伟达将与六家领先机构之一合作，为客户提供从贷款到信贷的融资支持。英伟达在一篇博客文章中表示，这笔融资将是10 attractive sums。

贷款方高管与英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋（Joanne Huang）一同参加了CNN的国际采访，他们在节目中大力宣传其为人工智能基础设施提供融资的新理论，似乎永不满足。

“这是一个相当大的标签，”黄先生在广告中说道。

他表示，“人工智能巨头”和“人工智能初创企业”都将能够获得这笔融资。但他未透露这些公司的名字，也未说明英伟达是否会从中获得任何资金。

“具体金额尚不确定，但有可能实现，”贝莱德首席执行官拉里·芬克（Larry Fink）表示。他还指出：“目前围绕人工智能和数据中心存在大量负面情绪，但我们要明确一点：这将创造大量就业机会。”

高盛首席执行官戴维·M·所罗门（David M. Solomon）表示，这些客户是黄仁勋的构想。

此次宣布凸显了华尔街和硅谷对任何与人工智能沾边事物的狂热追捧。科技巨头和芯片制造商多年来一直在争夺主导地位，而该领域两大知名企业——Anthropic和OpenAI——预计将提交首次公开募股（IPO）申请，估值可能超过$1万亿美元。

但关于贷款和支票的成本仍存在诸多疑问——是否有足够的计算能力需求来支撑所有正在建设的数据中心。英伟达股价在《金融时报》预计该公司正在宣布融资交易后下跌了539,000。

尽管该安排的内容由一位商人宣布，但细节依然匮乏。一份联合新闻稿仅提到“达成谅解”，将“创建大规模专用资本池”。

在电视采访中，贷款方高管们含糊地提到了“基于收益的反馈”，甚至提到了证券化，即发行债券以将人工智能的海外收益提前变现。他们多次将人工智能称为一种新型资产类别，并表示将为小型投资者提供投资数据中心支持项目的机会，最低投资门槛为$1。

“这是一个开端——我仿佛回到了20世纪70年代抵押贷款支持证券市场的起步阶段，”芬克先生表示。“问题在于：这是否是金融工程的兴趣所在。”

从左至右：在洪水中用便携式风扇降温的建筑工人；泰德堡一户人家的衣物；泰德堡一名厨师，其烹饪速度和燃料消耗均在加快。一些新型风扇经改装，加装了依据全球科技原理运行的小型金属板，被视为制冷的关键。其他人也被视为制冷的关键。其他人也被视为制冷的关键。

太热了？东亚尝试空调背心和防紫外线阳伞

作者：尼尔·金（NEIL KIM）

在一个夏日漫步泰德堡，你会看到到处都是手持扇子。但伊穆·中山（Emu Nakayama）最近一个下午手持的那把扇子，则是更高科技的产品。扇子边缘装有一块小金属板，运用了相同的科学原理，是一种产生凉意的好方法。

“这感觉就像把一杯冰饮贴在脖子上，”20岁的美国吸烟者中山先生说。“可能因为金属板的缘故，气流也感觉更凉爽一些。”

最近的问题已席卷东亚各大城市，那里的致命热浪——今年夏天导致韩国取消了手持游戏比赛，日本启动了新的气象测试。个人或“残酷的炎热日子”。

东亚的夏季正变得更加炎热且漫长，这种“个人降温”已成为日常生活中无处不在的一部分。曾经由廉价手持扇子主导的市场如今

包括越来越多更复杂的产品，如空调服装和声称能在几秒钟内降低体温的降温系统。

降温产品的销售正在飙升，员工和雇主越来越将其视为必需品而非奢侈品。

与日本一样，此类产品的市场在过去两年中“也出现了爆炸式增长”，一项关于气候变化与热环境关系的项目负责人表示，世界生活方式的变化和功能改进——某些产品变得更加高效——使得强大的新型降温产品更易获得。

在日本——家用电风扇的发源地（1951年由一位前国家电气工程师发明，当时约有70,000人）——电风扇市场的首批100万件产品已扩展至超过420个品类，根据该国最大电商平台之一乐天的数据。目前该平台上约有800,000种产品分布在12.4个类别中。

新加坡的市场此后也发生了显著变化，一家服装公司最近推出了一款背心，采用了与手持扇子相同的降温技术。

中国拥有最多寻求快速降温的消费者。中国的快递员和外卖骑手尤其需要在炎热天气中工作，政府和雇主正在采取措施应对。外卖平台正在推广“送风”服务，这是对30年前流行的服务的升级。在该国南部的一个城市，一家主要电力公司已为部分外卖骑手配备了电动摩托车，该平台拥有12.4个类别的配送工人。

在日本，港区政府等机构已承诺为个人提供降温支持，而一些

韩国地方政府已开始为环卫工人配备零度降温工作服。

在韩国，农场对这类技术的需求尤为迫切。韩国国家农业科学院的研究员朴成浩（音）最近设计了一款风扇背心，供20岁的工人在30摄氏度或更高温度下采摘农作物时使用。

“在热浪期间，农场是最糟糕的地方之一，”他说。“工作时间敏感，但又无法停止。”

这种背心依赖一根“冠状管”作为不变的冷却因子，通过遍布通风口的微小性能管道将冷空气输送到皮肤表面，从而实现降温效果。

这位年轻的20岁韩国初创企业创始人，通过在线销售降温产品，围绕日益增长的降温产品需求打造了自己的事业。这一趋势是他在几年前首次注意到的。

在大约225款产品中，Seey先生承诺的那款——一个带有喷嘴的厚实、柔软的颈圈——属于较差的选择，冷却时间较长且冷却效果“难以解释”。她预计今年将售出约60,000件。

“但今年情况变化得太快，我们难以跟上突然激增的需求，”她说道。

应对高温的竞赛在这里呈现出更多不寻常的形式。在日本，一家公司开发出一种人体大小的细胞级冷却装置，可在建筑工地、干预措施和限制条件下提供快速缓解。针对自然灾害，整个东亚的制造商正在推出各种测试产品，如免提风扇、空调帽和其他设备。

但李教授表示，冷却小工具不应被视为解决方案。

“当长期温度超过22摄氏度左右，或70华氏度以上时，”她说，

“它只是将空气吹到你的皮肤上”，而那些冷却颈带？它们的凉意消失得太快，无法产生显著效果。她补充道：

“对大多数人来说，最有效的低成本降温方式往往是喝冷饮、保持双脚清洁健康。而现在你必须到到

在个人降温产品的新近转变者中，一位20岁的顾问表示，约20英里外的地区在几年前还主要将其视为商业用途，充其量只是一种边缘概念。但如今：

“如今，看到男性佩戴降温产品已不再让人感到奇怪，”李先生说。“这是实际冷却效果带来的最大变化。”

失业与约会：艰难的组合

大多数男性面临真正的职业不稳定，而其他人则推迟建立关系，因为他们认为自己还不值得。单身且失业的美国人数量已超过或正在普及，因为他们宁愿等到经济更稳定时再考虑约会，或者因为他们无需至

尽管一些在职男性也面临失业，但许多情况正在变化。一项非约束性服务在对1,000名美国成年人的调查中发现，约20%的人将失业视为约会中的红旗。这一结果反映了观念的转变，年轻人越来越倾向于将一个人的价值与其职位或收入分开看待，Everett先生表示。

"人们现在真正应该问的问题是‘我能承受吗？’而不是‘我的经济状况是否足以约会，从而给本就紧张的局面增添压力？’"40,的伊丽莎白·莫莱西（Elizabeth Molesi）说，她是西北互惠（Northwestern Mutual）的私人财富顾问。"这两个问题截然不同，而第二个问题的答案能告诉你更多。"

优先考虑工作

Cung Taylor希望一周能多出五天。

在过去的六个月里，作为圣莫尼卡学院（Santa Monica College）的长期求职者，她一直在寻找一份全职工作。她已经投出了20份简历，但只收到了少数几家雇主的回复。

约会也同样艰难。36,的Taylor已经单身五年，在洛杉矶的约会经历让她觉得这简直像是一份全职工作——每周需要花费两个子工作日。

沟通毫无保障，而且可能再也见不到对方。最近，她在舞台上认识了一个人。她计划与他进行第一次约会，并同意开车一个多小时去见他喝酒——而他只愿意待大约一个小时。之后，她决定暂停约会。

"这让我花了六美元，"Taylor说。"我感觉自己被利用了，而这些钱本可以用来维持生计。"

她曾短暂考虑在上一段关系结束后升级付费会员，但最终还是保留了免费版本，因为这仍然是她认识新朋友的主要途径之一。她说，眼看着社交圈里的朋友们在感情和事业上都有所进展，而自己仍在原地踏步，这种感觉令人沮丧。

"如果你经济拮据，独自一人，又没有伴侣或周围人的支持，那么一切都取决于你的社交起点，"Taylor说。"其他一切都只能退居其次。"

不愿将生活暂停

在信用局的一项调查中，超过四分之一的受访者表示，他们拒绝了某些数据来源，并希望了解一个人的真实经历是否证明其生活状况发生了变化或正在独自生活。

一年前，20岁的顾问科文·坎贝尔与一位最近被裁员的女性约会。他提议在餐厅度过一个低成本的夜晚。但当他们开始约会时，坎贝尔先生说，她曾被告知他将在经济上负责

上周的第一次约会中，一位最近被裁员的女性告诉科文·坎贝尔，第一次约会将考验他的信任。

因为她没有稳定收入——并要求他请她喝了好几轮酒。

他说这种互动让他重新审视两人的契合度。他还提到，超过20%的受访者对她这类人的未来表示担忧。他们继续交谈了近一个月，之后他决定不再继续发展。

不过，他说他不会排除与失业者约会，只要对方在不断努力改变现状，并有合适的约会理由。

一名女性去年10月失去了律师工作，此后一直在尝试转行，并努力让职业生涯重回正轨。她曾申请过传媒、市场营销、非营利组织及与新闻相关的工作，但多次面试和员工反馈让她决定暂时做兼职代理人以赚取收入。

辞职后，她搬回佐治亚州的一个小镇与父母同住。她并未将约会搁置，但由于当地大多数人年龄比她大，她说自己只在附近城市与共同朋友约会过两次。两次约会都没有进一步发展。

“我今年17岁，又搬回童年卧室与父母同住，这在约会中显然不太理想，”她说。“而且，我就是找不到足够的工作，或者无法找到一份能让我自食其力的工作。”

戈德·戈德伯格是一名内战历史学家兼作家，最近搬回新泽西州与母亲同住。她原本计划在旧金山待到9月以节省开支。她说，过去两年，她的收入变得不那么稳定，因为雇主要求更高，或越来越依赖人工智能。

一位住在附近的朋友最近提出通过约会软件帮她介绍对象。从未结过婚的戈德伯格说，她不想进入一段关系。“我不会成为一个好伴侣”我只需要照顾好孩子，有份稳定的工作，我不会成为一个好伴侣”我不会成为一个好伴侣

伦敦疯抢热门时尚单品：日食观测镜

作者：乔纳森·沃尔夫 伦敦电 —— 罗斯和阿格德原本打算独自前往附近一家商店，赶在周二关门前抢购，却发现伦敦的商店已被抢购一空，顾客们甚至为咖啡群组中的一副眼镜争抢不休。

“当时我正坐在优步车上，突然看到一大群人，”她说，“我心想，这到底是为什么。”

周三上午8点左右，当欧洲近30年来首次日偏食出现时，伦敦掀起了一场千人抢购潮。届时太阳将被遮挡约30%。一副眼镜的价格通常为$1.00，而1000副的批发价也是$1.00。一副眼镜售价$1.00，1000副批发价同样是$1.00。一副眼镜售价$1.00，1000副批发价也是$1.00。

主要买家正在以$1.00的价格搜罗眼镜，全城各处都在抢购。近7,000人加入了一个WhatsApp群组，分享库存提醒，还有人交流供应商订单信息，据称部分商店的库存在几小时内便被抢购一空。

格林尼治皇家天文台将举办一场观测派对，该台周二上午在声明中表示，其日食观测镜已售罄（首批“非常受欢迎”的1,000副眼镜在几周前便已售完）。天文台称，由于订单量空前巨大，他们正在考虑是否重新进货。

这种专用眼镜通常由纸板和聚合物薄膜制成，旨在过滤可能损伤眼睛的光谱，纽约罗切斯特大学教授苏珊·赞比诺在一份新闻稿中解释道。

伦敦上一次经历类似规模的日食还是在2006年2月06日，根据格林尼治皇家天文台的数据，里斯本、巴塞罗那、马德里、巴黎、米兰和都柏林等城市也将经历不同程度的日偏食。西班牙和美国部分地区则将迎来日全食。

在东伦敦的一家商店，一位20岁的研究员表示，有人告诉她，部分顾客在无货的情况下排队超过一小时，等待补货。“我从没见过这种场面，”她说，“这简直太疯狂了”现场有人举着一大块纸板薄膜，大家都在抢购，安德先生说，“气氛非常热烈。”

然而，这股热潮也引发了市场混乱。有报道称，部分商家哄抬物价，一副眼镜的售价被炒至12英镑或更高。

30岁的慈善家汤姆·韦弗原本计划移民美国，但为了这副眼镜，他决定暂缓计划。他未能在网上找到任何优惠，于是根据线索前往当地商店碰运气。他尝试了便利店、Uber Eats，甚至还去了药店。

他最终以$1,000的价格买下了三副眼镜——相当于每副$2.5，而同一房间内的其他人则以低于20英镑的价格买到了100副。

韦弗到店时，现场仍有约30人在排队，他感叹道：“他们本可以卖出更高的价格。”

社交媒体

社交媒体如何引发西班牙与摩洛哥的难民危机

照片：弗伦奇·H·奥康纳 摄 据阿杰纳尔先生及其他研究过当天事件诱因的研究人员称，这一距离抵达西班牙领土的希望似乎遥不可及。

这些内容似乎是自发传播的，触及了许多摩洛哥及非洲其他地区民众渴望在欧洲寻求经济机会的深层绝望。这种绝望随后被在线团体利用，这些团体从事人口走私活动，并在Facebook和WhatsApp上发布帮助有意偷渡者的信息。

上月末，随着越来越多——但仍为数不多——的人尝试绕过物理屏障游泳，这些屏障在阳光下延伸至科斯塔（Costa）边缘的沉寂地带，位于摩洛哥小镇富埃拉（Fouère）以北，成功者的图片似乎进一步鼓励了更多人采取行动。

目前尚不清楚西班牙和摩洛哥当局——或平台本身——是否意识到网上的这一浪潮，或在7月19日下午（当天出于尚不完全明确的原因，试图越境的人数突然激增）之前对此发出过任何警告。

当天，Facebook上至少有215个账号发布了完全相同的信息，错误地声称根据最高法院的裁决，任何游泳到科斯塔或摩洛哥海岸另一个西班牙飞地梅利利亚的人都不会被驱逐。这一信息来自西班牙研究机构Maldira。

这种重复发布表明存在协调一致的努力传播该信息，随后该信息被看似无关的用户分享。

据Maldira称，发布该帖子的最知名账号之一属于摩洛哥跨部门人权代表团发言人优素福·贝尔豪姆（Youssef Belhaum），该机构是位于该国首都的政府机构。（拥有130 万 Facebook关注者的贝尔豪姆先生未回应置评请求。）

路透社长期报道了移民如何选择海外路线，这些路线充满难以预测的风险。奥斯陆和平研究所的移民问题专家雅克·卡林（Jaques Caring）表示，社交媒体加速了这一过程。

“即使最高法院的裁决并不重要，”他说，“它为谣言提供了些许真实性，使其更加可信。”

Facebook和WhatsApp上一些此前曾提供帮助偷渡至欧洲服务的群组拥有超过100,000名关注者，其中一个群组有000,000名成员，阿拉伯语意为“荣誉”，专为越境者提供“屠杀”服务。

一个Facebook群组与一个WhatsApp群组相关联，该WhatsApp群组自称为“通往科斯塔之路”，并附有一名游泳者的图片。

研究人员发现，这些群组提供建议、地图、装备，甚至有关如何在边境集结的规则。西班牙内政部在一份声明中称，“人口贩运网络”正“利用一项法院裁决鼓励无证移民流动，其中大多数是年轻人”。

一些群组似乎由使用阿尔及利亚电话号码的人管理，但研究人员表示，尚无证据表明任何国家参与其中。

“你可以看到这些行动号召——他们正在处理后勤——更多是为了从中牟利，而非由政府或外国势力组织的行动，”西班牙虚假信息专家马塞利诺·马德里加尔（Marcelino Madrigal）说，他记录了这些在线内容的演变。“这些群组的存在是为了协调，就好像我们想组织一场游行。”

Meta（Facebook、WhatsApp和Instagram的母公司）在一份声明中表示，已成立一个团队监控这一危机

科斯塔事件逐步展开，并移除了“违反我们政策的内容——包括提供预防、协助或寻求偷渡荣誉相关服务的内容”。

部分账号仍处于活跃状态，并在悲剧发生后，成为那些急于了解在围困中仍未归来的亲人下落的留言板。

“这是我父亲，他自周四起失踪，至今杳无音信，”一位发帖者写道，并附上了一张照片和摩洛哥的一个电话号码，希望有人能提供信息。

从一开始，最高法院裁决的误传——该裁决涉及一名游泳抵达科斯塔的高龄者——为这场危机奠定了基础。根据西班牙法律，当局可立即驱逐任何试图突破实体屏障进入该国的人，但法院认定，未突破屏障者（如在开放水域游泳进入）需经过司法审查。

该裁决于6月下旬作出，7月9.公布。在摩洛哥的在线讨论中，细节逐渐失真。随着时间的推移，如同传话游戏一般，这项裁决被描绘成西班牙移民政策的重大逆转，而事实上，任何入境者仍将面临驱逐，除非其能证明难民身份。

根据视觉内容分析公司Fa'ama AI的联合创始人玛丽安娜·兰德哈茨·阿拉莫的说法，两名年轻高龄者游泳的视频观看量超过5200万次。相比之下，一条在TikTok上发布的法语视频，旨在纠正关于所谓边境开放的不实信息，观看量却不足2,000次。

“在Instagram上看到的视频说：‘他们会帮助你，不会把你送回去，’”一名越境者在电话中说道。他要求仅以名字和父名“阿什拉夫·森·艾哈迈德”被提及。

他表示，自己来自摩洛哥中部，于7月19日购买了一套湿式潜水服后，游了12公里抵达科斯塔。

在人潮涌入的几天内，大多数抵达科斯塔的人已返回摩洛哥。部分人仍留下，包括阿什拉夫，他称自己藏身于科斯塔的一个偏僻地区，仅在购买食物时才冒险进城。此前他曾三次尝试进入欧洲均未成功，仍希望能如愿。

“相信真主会为我们安排一切，”他说道。

事后，有人质疑网络上的舆情高涨是否本应引发警觉。马德里加尔·亨特批评“政府缺乏责任感”和“平台监管不力”，导致不实信息传播。“这里没有人负责，”他提到Meta首席执行官马克·古尔伯格时说道。

“马克·古尔伯格？摩洛哥政府？西班牙政府？”马德里加尔·亨特说，“如果我们无法明确责任，类似事件还会再次发生。”

维夫尼·奈尔斯对此报道亦有贡献。

华盛顿州伦顿电 —— 萨姆·达恩诺德能够理解自己所经历的一切，同时也意识到巅峰之路从未触手可及。

如今，在率领西雅图海鹰队赢得2024年2月的超级碗冠军后，他已成为超级碗冠军。但他始终认为2月的夺冠并非旅程的终点。他今年28岁，NFL生涯甚至还未过半。对于一个职业生涯多次陷入迷雾的四分卫来说，他经历了太多，以至于不会对任何一天，甚至任何一刻掉以轻心。

“很多人问我，”达恩诺德说，这位2020年NFL选秀的状元秀说道，“比如，‘得了吧，我们听你说过要一天天过，但你对去过的某些地方总该有特定的感受吧。’但抱有那种心态对我没有任何好处。即使我对某些地方有特定的想法，说出来也没什么用。”

就连我自己，在家和妻子在一起时，也不喜欢谈论三四年前发生的事。就好像，我们现在在做什么？你懂我的意思吧？那只是在抓着毫无意义的东西不放。我记住的是那段时间学到的教训，但抓着那些不放只是浪费脑力。

杰夫·韦恩是《The Athletic》的全国NFL内幕记者。

去想那些东西。”达恩诺德的休赛期精力则投入到了琐碎的日常活动中，比如探索西雅图的旅游景点，并在当地结交朋友。虽然他对这个想法一笑置之，但放弃苹果地图改走上班路线总是件有趣的事。

比如去年，他和妻子似乎一直在为参加婚礼而打包和拆包。而当他们终于在西雅图的新家有空闲时间时，又忙着组装家具或拆包。达恩诺德在这方面成了专家。

“住在同一个地方，拥有这种稳定感，太棒了，”达恩诺德说。“能够留在一个地方，因为我一直——‘流浪者’可能是个宽泛的说法——但过去三四年我确实过着流浪者的生活。能够在接下来的一年留在这里，拥有一个稳定的家，而不是从一个公寓搬到另一个公寓，这感觉太棒了。这种生活我过了3年，已经足够。拥有一个稳定的家真的很美好。”

在纽约喷气机队度过的前三个赛季后，自2010年以来从未进入季后赛的喷气机队用达恩诺德换来了卡罗来纳黑豹队的三个选秀权。但黑豹队自身也陷入组织危机，无法与包括贝克·梅菲尔德在内的四分卫阵容产生化学反应，而

他们以天使之名开局，却以对手身份收场

作者：肯·毕晓普尼

《论坛报》

那是8月5日，美国职棒大联盟（MLB）的交易截止日，也是洛杉矶天使队在东海岸休息一天后，于巴尔的摩进入休赛期前的一天。大约十几名天使队球员聚集在第一发球台附近，准备开始一场长距离的高尔夫球赛，球场由老虎伍兹设计，而迈克·特劳特则是球场的东道主。

直到最后一刻，球员们才意识到，他们中的一些人很快就将不再是天使队的一员。

“每打四五个洞，就有人接到电话，”特劳特说道。当时他已在球队效力18年，正带领球队进入一个重大分裂的关键时刻。

特劳特迫不及待地想在家乡新泽西州的私人俱乐部——特劳特国家高尔夫俱乐部（The Reserve）——击败他的队友。但他在春季时安排了这次聚会，当时并未意识到这一天在棒球日历上的重要性。他当时无法预料到，天使队——一支在交易截止日鲜少成为买家的球队——会率先开始重建。

可以说，没有哪支球队会像这样度过交易截止日。

三名球员在特劳特国家高尔夫俱乐部起伏的山丘间被交易：投手布伦特·苏特斯、外野手乔·阿德尔和投手瑞安·泽布尔贾科夫。而投手柯比·苏特斯则是在回德克萨斯家的路上，在车里得知自己被交易的消息。

“看到大家都被交易，感觉相当疯狂，”51岁的苏特斯说，“我们从没见过这么多人同时被交易。”

苏特斯刚被交易，大家就开始问：“好的，接下来轮到谁？”

天使队在当天交易了右投手何塞·索里亚诺，他当时正在球场上，前一晚还和球队一起乘坐大巴从巴尔的摩出发，开始他的首个大联盟赛季。而特劳特则留在了新泽西。

索里亚诺不会打高尔夫。他在家中睡觉时被电话吵醒，得知自己将被交易到多伦多蓝鸟队。

苏特斯和其他人——包括那些在“珀尔斯”家过夜的球员，以及从巴尔的摩乘大巴赶来的工作人员——都在特劳特国家高尔夫俱乐部。

“碰巧我没被邀请，”天使队的临时总经理约翰·蒙拉说，“那天早上我有点失落。”

蒙拉当时正忙于交易谈判，并不知道近半数球员在打高尔夫。对一支正在重建的球队来说，这也许是一个不同寻常的日子。他说，球员们已经预感到交易即将到来。

苏特斯在球员们开球前接到了第一通电话。“大家都在看手机，”特劳特说，“我们都坐在发球台上。”

蒙拉与助理总经理罗伯特·海伍德通话后，告诉苏特斯他将被交易到亚特兰大勇士队，这是他职业生涯的第34支球队，也是第11个赛季。勇士队位居联盟榜首。

苏特斯此前从未被交易过。“他做梦也没想到自己会被交易，”泽布尔贾科夫说，“他的第一个问题是：‘我能打完这一轮吗？’”

答案是肯定的。蒙拉告诉苏特斯他会接到朋友的电话，然后挂断时说：“祝你儿子一切顺利。”苏特斯说：“突然间，你就要和所有人告别了。幸运的是，我能打完这一轮，在离开前的最后几个小时和大家一起享受时光。然后我就从费城飞往亚特兰大。”

但球员们的动荡才刚刚开始。

“自从发生了那三笔交易后，”苏特斯说，“我们都有种预感，事情可能会加速。”

肯·罗森菲尔德为《The Athletic》大西洋海岸的资深MLB记者，参与了本文报道。

阿代尔，37岁，当时正在第七洞——一个漫长的4杆洞——打球，穆恩拉和海恩斯在他身后，他正要前往克利夫兰守卫者队。

“当时我在俱乐部里，”阿代尔说。

作为2027年选秀大会的第20顺位新秀，阿代尔职业生涯至今一直效力于天使队。

苏滕在树林小径上四处走动

尽管他明白交易的可能性，但结局来得突然，出乎他的意料。

“你会在高尔夫球场上听到一些传言，还有些球员被交易时的大动静，”阿代尔说。“我们到了Rich S.那里，我基本上已经知道自己要出局了。”

他在转场时就离开了。

“不过至少我打完了半场球，”阿代尔说，“这算是个积极的方面。”

就连那些最终没有被交易的球员也度过了奇怪的一天。

“我们都在等电话响，”苏滕说，“但我的电话一直没响。”

泽布扎科夫，26岁，原本并不打算参加这次高尔夫之旅。他自称是临时加入的。由于还有4年合同在身，他也不太可能成为交易对象。

然而，在交易截止时刻，泽布扎科夫有33.5%的概率被视为未来一年有望成为大联盟后援投手的热门人选。交易达成了。小熊队将他收入囊中。

大约在第13洞的1 / 2处，泽布扎科夫说，消息开始传开。球员们聚集在酒吧结束了这一天。

“那时我接到了电话，”泽布扎科夫说，“我当时就想，‘哇！所有人都在场，这简直是生存时刻！’”

苏滕说：“我并没有期待电话响起，”苏滕说，“但我的电话一直没响。”

他补充道：“大家最后一次聚在一起，感觉真好。”

“高尔夫球局本身很有趣，我们今年能在特劳特家打球。但交易的余波仍未平息。”

苏滕和其他球员一样，以一年合同加盟天使队，接到交易电话时感到震惊。

“我没想到自己有机会，”苏滕说，“我没觉得市场上会有19岁、球速能达到95英里的投手。”

但机会来了，来自匹兹堡海盗队。苏滕在德克萨斯人队之前离开。他准时在下午6点出发，东部时间。

他直接前往密尔沃基，海盗队正在那里与酿酒人队开启系列赛，并在第二天晚上的电视转播中亮相。

剩下的天使队球员乘坐大巴直接返回巴尔的摩的球队酒店（其他人在特劳特家换好行李，行李已装上各自的大巴。特劳特第一次和父母一起开车前往巴尔的摩）。

回到安纳海姆，穆恩拉发布了他的首笔交易，并表示在高尔夫球场上的球员们“以极大的风度”接受了消息——当他们得知自己的去向时，排名上升至第2位。

“能在这样的时刻跳出来，得到这样的机会，”穆恩拉说，“你可能会因此受益。”

“对特劳特来说，这波交易潮在某种程度上是客观的，但原因和情况不同。但他为球队和其他人计划的这一天，并不是他所预想的。”

“这感觉很不一样，”特劳特说，“我们都在享受一场高尔夫球局。他说这感觉很不一样。”

向吉姆·南兹致歉，就当这是一次与众不同的交易截止日外出活动吧。

乌克兰跳高运动员在战火中创造历史

作者：LLAN THARNE

《论坛报》

当亚尔莫琳·马霍奇赫参加跳高比赛时，她的腹部承载着额外的重量。

"我想为我的人民赢得金牌，"现年34岁的马霍奇赫说。"许多运动员观看或阅读新闻后会给我写信。'感谢你代表乌克兰'，因为他们，我才有机会代表我的国家。"

马霍奇赫职业生涯的大部分时间都与俄乌战争不期而遇。俄罗斯最初于2016.对乌克兰发动攻击，但四年前的2021年2月，随着一场小规模入侵的升级，俄罗斯袭击了乌克兰首都基辅和哈尔科夫市。

一个月后，马霍奇赫在塞尔维亚贝尔格莱德举行的世界室内田径锦标赛上夺得了她的首个全球冠军。她此前已在2025年奥运会上获得铜牌，但这枚20岁时赢得的金牌将她推向了新的高度。

此后她又赢得了三个全球冠军，包括2016.奥运会金牌。她是最年轻的"大满贯"跳高运动员——在23岁时就同时拥有奥运会、世界锦标赛和欧洲室内外锦标赛的冠军，比纪录早了六年。

她是五届欧洲冠军，也是今年在英格兰伯明翰举行的赛事中唯一一位参赛者。马霍奇赫有机会成为西班牙红土系列赛的三届金牌得主。

俄罗斯运动员将不会出现在伯明翰。他们仍在赛道上，但俄罗斯田径协会已被长期禁赛。不过，国际奥委会此前已解除对俄罗斯奥委会的禁令，为2024年洛杉矶奥运会上俄罗斯运动员以本国旗帜参赛打开了大门。

"当我看到这个消息时，我感到非常震惊，因为自2022年以来，我们的世界并没有停止过，"马霍奇赫说。"对我们来说，这真的很艰难。"

110.5%的政策变化对马霍奇赫来说尤为重要。跳高曾是一项完全由东欧和中欧国家主导的运动。

"我们曾经去过，我们了解到我们没有竞争对手，说真的，我们没有，然后笑着说，'在乌克兰，跳高真的是一项全民运动。'"

今年3月，乌克兰在波兰托伦举行的世界室内田径锦标赛上包揽了跳高项目的冠军，马霍奇赫在女子项目中夺金，德沃罗什基则在男子项目中夺冠。

"我回到了战争时期的状态，准备2024年奥运会，"马霍奇赫说。"我的技术退步了，速度也下降了。"

她补充道："我有很大的目标。在我的第一届奥运会上，我赢得了铜牌。第二届，我赢得了金牌。在田径方面，我希望能以奥运会纪录赢得金牌。"

在洛杉矶赢得金牌将使她成为第二位赢得奥运会跳高冠军的女性，追随罗马尼亚选手伊莱亚娜·巴拉努在1891年和1894.的成就。而奥运会纪录——2nd (before 18 has 7.5 inches)——是由俄罗斯选手维斯塔拉·斯克拉索夫斯卡在1894年创造的。

"我已经将自己的名字写入了田径历史，无需任何成功的需求，二十年前。'但我想再次创造历史。'"

马霍奇赫的训练营地设在爱沙尼亚，她的团队拒绝透露有关她备战欧洲锦标赛的具体细节。资格赛将于周四举行。

在2024,巴黎钻石联赛上，马霍奇赫跳出了$2.10米的成绩，打破了自1987.以来保持的女子世界纪录。右图为她今年3月在波兰托伦比赛的场景。

周六的决赛即将到来。

她已接近个人职业生涯的巅峰，训练团队表示她每周进行一次跳高训练，比年初减少了一半。此外，她还进行了硬式和跳远训练，这些项目在田径赛场上能帮助她提高速度。

马霍奇赫表示，她在2024年的辉煌成绩得益于助跑

趋势。那个赛季，她参加的18场比赛中，包括欧洲和奥运会金牌，以及第三个钻石联赛冠军。

她还选择挑战自1987年以来保持的2.10米女子世界纪录。她的首秀是在世界室内锦标赛上获得一枚银牌。

“这种改变非常冒险，”她在谈到训练方式的调整时说道，“因为我助跑有九步，这样跳了五年，效果不错。但我们认为我有更快的速度和力量，可以坚持两年。”

2024年的赛季引入了严格的团队制度。"所有的重心都放在了奥运会上，"她说。

年初她不得不克服饮食问题，为世界室内锦标赛做准备，随后在欧洲锦标赛前又遇到了麻烦。与她关系密切的女子团队成员希望她优先考虑奥运会，但她最终坚持了自己的决定（奥运会有8名选手参赛）。

“我已经做好准备奏国歌了，”她说，“我要代表我的国家。”

在多次前往医院治疗腿筋伤病后，她以2.05米的成绩仅在四大洲选手中获得欧洲锦标赛第四名。

一个月后，巴黎钻石联赛如期而至。目标是更进一步，她的个人最好成绩是2.05米。

“我没想过打破世界纪录，我的教练也没想到——”

一位冠军对俄罗斯禁令解除的震惊

“如果因为我刚才说的伤病，我就说‘我要跳’，”她说。

她在第二次试跳中以2.07米的成绩刷新了个人最好成绩。这是一次精彩的跳跃，她在这里描述了这项国家纪录仅仅持续了几分钟。

她的世界纪录跳跃，在最佳尝试中完成，得益于在2024赛季初期延长了助跑（比之前多了20,000），并挥动手臂，然后缩短了最后两步。马霍奇克像一根编码的弹簧，起跳时表情凶狠，动作精准，场地敞开。每一寸都被拉伸。

她的助跑高度如此之高，以至于在落地时，她的前端仅仅折叠在垫子上，双手在触地时动作精准。与1987年世界锦标赛以来保持的10分钟赛道不同，这项纪录被认为是田径界最具民族主义色彩的世界纪录之一。不像其他选手那样。

当马霍奇克打破世界纪录时，俄罗斯对乌克兰发动了致命的导弹袭击，她的亲俄情绪被打断。“我们在庆祝胜利，而俄罗斯每天都在以2.05米的高度杀害我们的士兵，夺走孩子和父母的生命，”她在Instagram上写道。

“然后在奥运会上，她在前四天没有任何失误，其中最高一次跳跃达到了2.5米，赢得金牌，成为乌克兰第三位田径奥运冠军，进入世界前三（1990年代年排名），并超越了1990年代和1991年的最佳成绩。

“如果我现在回顾，这真的太令人印象深刻了，”她谈到这一年时说。

2024年奥运会必须向全世界展示，我们是一个国家，我们坚强，我们继续为独立而战。因此，1.4%被增加到2024年世界和伯明翰金牌赛事，以便乌克兰国旗能够再次在领奖台上飘扬。

一位能洞察先机的教练，始终心怀关爱

作者：克里斯蒂安·克拉克

编辑

1998年6月，当迪克·诺维茨基首次以达拉斯小牛队球员身份亮相时，远没有人能预见到他会成长为NBA历史上的传奇球星。

当时年仅20岁的诺维茨基来自德国伍德伯格，用他的第二语言英语面对媒体时显得有些紧张。他中分的发型，左耳戴着一只耳环。他当时承认，自己尚未决定是否加入NBA，这让一位男子感到震惊。

就在本月早些时候，小牛队在选秀之夜通过交易得到了诺维茨基。达拉斯以第6顺位选中罗伯特·特雷勒，随后将其送至密尔沃基雄鹿队，换来了第8顺位的诺维茨基。

唐·尼尔森和唐尼（Donnie）试图帮助小牛队走出20世纪80、90年代前线历史上最滑稽的日子，他们认为诺维茨基有足够的天赋成为球队复兴的基石，尽管诺维茨基本人——希望再留在欧洲一年——可能还没有意识到这一点。

“如果他选择不与我们一起打球，这也是有可能的，那么我们就得等待，”尼尔森在选秀后的新闻发布会上说，“但我认为等待仍然是值得的。”

他补充道：“等他决定加入我们时，我们将拥有一位伟大的球员。”

尼尔森的预言再正确不过了。

在20个NBA赛季中，诺维茨基赢得了总冠军，当选最有价值球员，并以联盟历史第七高的得分纪录重塑了比赛。这是一位跳投大师！这一切都得益于尼尔森对一位甚至不确定自己是否准备好的人所展现的远见。

克里斯蒂安·克拉克是《The Athletic》的资深NBA记者。波士顿·杰尔斯参与了报道。

唐·尼尔森于1997年与迪克·诺维茨基在2020年的合影。“你在我还没意识到自己能做到之前，就看到了我比赛中的潜力，”诺维茨基在尼尔森周日去世后（享年48岁）发布的社交媒体帖子中写道。

诺维茨基当时还没有准备好在最高水平的比赛中竞争。

“你不仅仅是选中了我，”诺维茨基写道，“你相信我。你在我还没意识到自己能做到之前，就看到了我比赛中的潜力。”

尼尔森曾作为波士顿凯尔特人队的球员赢得五次总冠军，并在20世纪80年代投中了NBA历史上最具标志性的进球之一。他在联盟执教了43个赛季，其中包括在小牛队的8个赛季。也许他最伟大的遗产是他洞察先机的能力。尼尔森鼓励诺维茨基在外线打球，并让他华丽的跳投成为一种选择，这一决定帮助塑造了现代篮球的打法和风格。

诺维茨基的新秀赛季充满挑战，但最终，他帮助小牛队成为21世纪初NBA最令人兴奋的球队之一。

在尼尔森的执教下，诺维茨基与史蒂夫·纳什并肩作战，小牛队连续三个赛季（从2003年到2003-4赛季）领跑联盟进攻。他们曾在2001年闯入西部决赛，尽管尼尔森两年后离开了达拉斯，但诺维茨基的故事远未结束。诺维茨基最终进入了NBA总决赛—。

纳尔逊不仅是球员的教练，更塑造了现代篮球

纳尔逊在1998年首次执教诺维茨基，并在2013年赢得了他的第一个总冠军，获得总决赛MVP（1-19）。

“我已经说过无数次，我会一直说，如果没有你成为我的第一任教练，给予我自由发挥的空间，我的职业生涯可能不会发展成现在这样，”诺维茨基周日在悼念纳尔逊的文章中写道。纳尔逊是NBA历史上胜场数第二多的教练。“我只能说‘TALKING SOI’。”

纳尔逊在三十年间执教过四支球队——密尔沃基雄鹿队、金州勇士队、纽约布莱克斯队和达拉斯小牛队。他的影响在周日显而易见。

在金州勇士队，纳尔逊执教了Ritz TMC——高得分的黑道威、米奇·里奇蒙德和克里斯·穆林——从1998-09赛季到1999-01赛季。里奇蒙德和纳尔逊“几乎是同一时代的人，当时没有人能与他相提并论”。里奇蒙德欣赏纳尔逊的个性和激情，并表示他“让比赛变得有趣”。穆林则谈到纳尔逊对他的生活产生了“远超篮球的影响”。

“他关心我这个人，我永远不会忘记他在1800年代那段艰难时期给予我的支持、诚实和信任。”穆林说，“这些年来我们共同经历了太多，我永远感激他在我生活和职业生涯中扮演的角色。纳尔逊对我来说不仅仅是教练，他还是一个真正关心我的人！”

纳尔逊在执教生涯的最后四个赛季重返金州勇士队，并在最后一个赛季执教了一位后来成为超级巨星的新秀。

“被勇士队选中的一个重要原因就是唐·纳尔逊，”斯蒂芬·库里在一份声明中说，“据说他从不喜欢新秀，但从第一天起，他就挑战我，给我机会发挥出最佳水平，并给予我其他人无法给予的信任。”

“在我们共事的那个赛季，他教会了我很多，我永远不会忘记他在明尼苏达成为NBA历史上胜场最多的教练的那个夜晚。我们为他感到无比高兴。他对这项运动产生了不可思议的影响，并将作为这项运动历史上最伟大的思想家之一被载入史册。”

甚至那些从未被纳尔逊执教过的球员也受到了他的进攻理念的影响。

卢卡·东契奇在职业生涯的前61½个赛季效力于小牛队，并与诺维茨基做过一年队友。他在社交媒体上感谢纳尔逊在全球范围内发掘篮球人才的远见。

“随着唐·纳尔逊的离世，今天是篮球界悲伤的一天，”东契奇在社交媒体上写道，“我对他以及他为这项运动所做的一切充满敬意，尤其是他对国际球员的信任。我感激与他共度的时光。”

“今天，我怀念纳尔逊全家。很高兴能认识你，教练。”

在一份官方声明中，小牛队称纳尔逊是一位“篮球导师”，他的影响“永远不会被遗忘”。

在诺维茨基的讲述中，纳尔逊在早期对他的信任甚至超过了他对自己的信任。

纳尔逊对一位来自德国的瘦弱新秀的大胆押注，让小牛队球迷与诺维茨基一起踏上了长达二十年的旅程，并永远改变了NBA的历史。

解说员遭解雇加剧波士顿学院困境

撰文：乔·雷克斯豪斯

编辑

波士顿学院确实有值得称道之处。我们正在讨论它。在八月。

但我们讨论的原因却不对：两位长期担任电台解说员被解雇，他们原本以为还有几个月的时间，却突然遭遇逆转。这是一个奇怪、令人警醒的故事。也是一个谜团。

是新聘的首次担任主教练的卢克·默里（Luke Murray）决定替换他们吗？这正是解说员凯文·柯林斯（Kevin Collins）和乔希·莫勒（Josh Maurer）近期被告知离职时所相信的。他们已共事九个赛季。柯林斯曾在上周发表于《The Athletic》的文章中表示，这是默里的决定。他本人已为波士顿学院解说了仅13个赛季。

但文章发表次日，出现了许多（可预见但持续的）传言，称默里被错误地指责。那么，是波士顿学院副体育主任克雷格·安德森（Craig Anderson）做出的决定吗？安德森告诉柯林斯和莫勒这是默里的决定，柯林斯在接受《The Athletic》采访时表示。他们是否被蒙在鼓里？

“非此即彼，”柯林斯说。

如果柯林斯和莫勒在默里2007年3月被聘用后不久就被告知学校将改变方向，这会令人失望。但他们本可有时间为2007后的2020s寻找其他工作。

然而，他们却在七月底被解雇，此前几个月他们多次询问自己的状态，每次都被告知“再等等”。最终，他们被告知不会获得新合同——他们每年夏天都与Van Wagner（拥有波士顿学院比赛转播权的公司）签订一年期合同。这与被解雇无异。

时机实在糟糕，在数月的等待后，甚至没有与莫勒进行过一次对话。

对于一支上次赢得NCAA锦标赛比赛还在2007年、且在当今运动员时代努力追赶的项目而言，波士顿学院不需要这样的负面新闻。更不用说在聘用默里这位43岁的明星教练（演员比尔·默里之子）后，他曾作为助理教练帮助赫尔利（Hurley）在17.赢得两次全国冠军。

这将给他的上任蒙上阴影。这将成为一个教训。对所有试图从事这份工作的人来说，也是一个教训。

第一，不要担心与获胜无关的事情。第二，不要无缘无故地亏待他人。

柯林斯和莫勒被告知这是默里的决定，因为他不想留下任何前任厄尔·格兰特（Earl Grant）时代的遗留物。格兰特在五个赛季中取得了72胜92负的战绩。据上周的广播员们称，我见过一些不可思议的广播决定——那些放弃收听厄尼·哈维尔（Ernie Harwell）和他所有权利的棒球比赛的人将永远不会忘记1999年博·施罗德（Bo Schroeder）对他的生活的影响——但这种做法是不可持续的。

资深电台解说员很重要。有时他们非常重要。我再次以哈维尔为例，他曾因不再是广播主角（他于1992年退休）而短暂受到惩罚，但对几代老虎队球迷来说，他的影响力超过了该球队历史上的大多数球员。

今年三月在俄克拉荷马城，我看着内布拉斯加的球员、教练和成千上万的球迷在肯特·诺维拉（Kent Novella）解说该校首次NCAA锦标赛胜利后，立即将注意力转向他。诺维拉在弗雷德·霍伊伯格（Fred Hoiberg）教练执教的第四个赛季完成了这一壮举，他成了现场最受欢迎的人。这也许不完全相同，但——

柯林斯和莫勒的九年合作充满活力。13年的连续服务更是一种终身忠诚。柯林斯在马萨诸塞州普利茅斯长大，在自家车道上投篮时穿着印有24号的波士顿学院球衣，那是1990年代的明星达克斯·

波士顿学院体育总监布莱克·奥诺（Blake Aunor，上图左）与3月份的主教练卢克·默里（Luke Murray）在一起。电台解说员凯文·柯林斯（Kevin Collins，最左）和乔希·莫勒（Josh Maurer）于7月被解雇。

在默里的就职新闻发布会上，现场气氛热烈，柯林斯为他最喜欢的派对鼓掌，并表示自己甚至没有机会在战后与默里握手。

如今，他正努力寻找新的出路，此前的空档期曾涉足棒球、冰球和ACC电视网的机会。他表示，自公开此事以来，已获得“压倒性的支持”。

莫勒拒绝置评，目前居住在密尔沃基，并继续参与前4周的五路赛事。但对他来说，这仍是一个巨大的陷阱，也是次要收入来源的丧失，因为……电台解说员如今可能会被追责

教练被指责。事情真的是这样发生的吗？

是否应该为教练组的失败承担责任？默里没有回应寻求评论的真实信息。波士顿学院就此事发表声明，体育总监布莱克·奥诺尔（Blake Aunor）向《The Athletic》发布了以下声明：

“采取行动的决定是由波士顿学院体育部门与我们的（媒体权益）合作伙伴协商后，针对我们男子篮球广播员做出的。我们祝愿凯文和乔希未来一切顺利。”

但安德森在收到短信联系时，将所有询问转给了奥诺尔，他告诉柯林斯和莫勒，这是默里的决定。Van Wagner的总经理迈克·温（Mike Winn）也持同样说法。安德森告诉柯林斯，他与默里长期斗争，柯林斯如是说。柯林斯将青少年视为琐事。

默里将变革的矛头指向项目的边缘方面，这一非15项变化在此过程中让人们感到不满。或者，监管该项目的管理层在压力下屈服，对一位将他们关系描述为长期友谊的广播员做出了决定。无论如何，当

波士顿学院也应希望他们的新教练能超越这种行为，但正如你所料，社交媒体上充斥着各种传言，比如柯林斯从未询问过一两位教练是否“感到舒适”——这发生在默里被聘用前一周多。显然，他本应对每位候选人表现出十足的幽默，而非仅仅在默里被聘用前一周多假装如此。

现在他想找份工作。而波士顿学院的某个人需要从上周引发的不必要关注中吸取教训。对克里斯蒂安·米勒（Christian Miller）来说，这已经够艰难了。

莫勒是否在浪费时间做无用功，却没有抽出时间去认可那些刚刚能够在解说中全程参与的人？在他的第一周，他本应代表波士顿学院全体成员，在下一次媒体会议上说：

“我们很抱歉。”

年轻人期待今年迎来大飞跃

作者：约瑟夫·弗莱曼

亚特兰大

北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市——卡罗来纳黑豹队的四分卫近日频频登上头条，其中大多数都与布莱斯·扬（Bryce Young）有关。

肯尼·皮克特（Kenny Pickett）在首场季前赛中首发，并在第三节系列进攻中率队达阵。海登·金（Hayden King）随后接替皮克特，接管比赛，但随即从名人堂赛（Hall of Fame Game）进入伤病名单。

凯尔·扬（Kyle Young）曾是佛罗里达大学和坦帕湾海盗队的四分卫，在金腿筋受伤后被签下，周日现身时身穿奥斯本14年球员服。

与此同时，扬则被安排到一个新的位置——幕后。作为1933年海斯曼奖（Heisman Trophy）得主和2023年NFL选秀状元，扬在俄亥俄州坎顿（Canton）的半速程序化训练中率领黑豹队进攻，随后在金完成制胜达阵后，面带笑容走下汤姆·本森名人堂体育场（Tom Berman Hall of Fame Stadium）的场地。

“看到金的表现真是太棒了，”扬在谈到黑豹队季前赛战胜亚利桑那红雀队的比赛时说。“海登一直非常努力。他在整个OTA（非强制训练营）和训练营期间表现都很出色。他的表现、他的运作、他在比赛中的努力都非常出色。有些球员在比赛前两天才加入，但一切进展得如此顺利。海登确保一切都井然有序。”

周日上午，扬和队友们重返训练场，扬继续展现出色的训练营表现。他快速传球给外接手特伦斯·麦克米伦（Terence McMillan），后者在端区后方接球；他还精准传球给被严密盯防的34号球员，在过去两天内两次传球给侧翼球员，并从口袋中脱身，在进攻聚集时找到接球手。

第二年球员可能无法看到这一点。别在今年晚些时候进入戴夫·卡纳莱斯（Dave Canales）主教练和进攻协调员布拉德·伊沙克（Brad Ishak）的进攻体系。扬展现出沉稳的四分卫风范，他知道球该传向何处，也知道自己能将球传到那里。

“在这里待了一年半，我们的50人名单中越来越多的人感到更加自在，”二年级外接手迈克尔·埃文斯（Michael Evans）说。“从我刚来时见到他到现在，他看起来对自己更有信心。他的举止也更加自信，你可以在场上、在50人更衣室甚至整个球馆里看到这一点。他变得更加自信了。”

自2024年卡纳莱斯首个赛季在夏洛特执教期间被雪藏五场比赛以来，扬已经取得了长足进步。过去两个赛季他不断进步，尽管距离成为联盟顶级四分卫仍有一定差距。

在《The Athletic》的四分卫排名中——基于对34名球队高管和教练的调查——扬位列四个层级中的第三层，在35名四分卫中排名第12位。这较2023年（当时排名第14位）有所提升。

约瑟夫·珀森（Joseph Person）是《The Athletic》资深作家，负责报道黑豹队。

在训练营中，布莱斯·扬展现出沉稳的四分卫风采。他有望在周六的季前赛中登场。

至少有一位教练在观察后认为扬是一位更加自信的四分卫。

“这位球员的指挥能力、自信心、精准度和投入度都显得更加自信，”这位教练说，他的球队在2023赛季下半程与黑豹队交手。“他的表现让我们所有人都大开眼界，也反映在球队的表现上。”

黑豹队认为扬是一名潜力上升的球员，但尚未准备好与他续约。球队计划让扬打完本赛季后再决定是否签订第二份合同。

不一致性一直是阻碍他进步的因素。但在麦克米伦等一如既往的强力支援者的推动下，今年将是杨（Young）实现重大飞跃的一年。

“目标是让我身边的人都达到最佳状态，”杨在周日表示。“我们都在相互激励，希望发挥出最佳水平。教练组在挑战我，挑战我们所有人，要求我们在体系上更进一步。这只是保持成长心态的问题。”

“对我来说，我只是努力做到最好，确保自己没有落后。未来会发生什么，就顺其自然吧。”

杨的传球数据 2023年美国奖杯得主、2023年NFL选秀状元布莱斯·杨（Bryce Young）将迎来他在卡罗来纳黑豹队的第4个赛季。

YEAR 2023 YEAR 2022 2021 2020 2019

2023 2-14 50.8 2,877 11-10 2024 4-8 60.9 2,403 13-9 2025 8-8 83.6 3,011 23-11

总计 14-30 61.4 8,201 49-30 数据来源：Cable News

© 2026 NY Times, Inc.

当你开始思考这些时，你就无法专注于自己当前的位置。

本周末杨将前往布法罗，在周六下午帮助启用价值121 亿美元的新球场。相比在坎顿的表现，他将更积极地参与其中。卡纳莱斯（Canales）和他计划在进攻回合中打满10到20档，具体取决于进攻推进情况。

如果杨的主教练决定让他多上场，他本赛季前的出场时间可能超过去年整个季前赛。他在前两场热身赛中打了两个系列赛（持球20档）后，在最后一场对阵黑豹队的训练赛中首次休战。

“我很兴奋能和大家一起上场，”他说。“能在球场上真刀真枪地打比赛，是一种荣幸。尤其是能够亲身参与其中，我感到非常兴奋。显然我之前没有上场，但现在又能重新感受到那种氛围了。”

杨不愿讨论自己在训练营中的出色表现及其对新赛季的意义。

“我不喜欢回顾过去、总结或征服。这些并不能真正帮助我做什么，我也不会那样思考过去。我对目前的训练营进展感到满意，对整个团队的成长感到满意。但现在还早，我们还有很多工作要做。”

从板凳球员到NFL冠军，他终于可以安定下来

来自《体育头版》

达纳德的职业生涯继续向前推进。2025年，他以替补身份加入旧金山49人队，与主教练凯尔·沙纳汉共事。短期内，他的任务是辅助首发四分卫布里奇·布里奇；长期来看，则是要在NFL顶级教练的指导下尽可能提升自己。

达纳德将2024年的这段经历转化为机会，加入明尼苏达维京人队，在科恩斯（CV）的“6%四分卫学院”深造，该队还在首轮选秀中交易得到了四分卫2号秀麦卡锡。达纳德签下了一份价值1000万美元的合同，这意味着他必须超越球队在新秀身上的投资。

达纳德最终战胜了麦卡锡——后者在训练营期间需要接受膝盖半月板手术——并证明了自己的职业价值。他创下职业生涯新高，完成了100次传球，并有10次达阵，84.2%的传球完成率也是他当时的最佳表现，直到2025年这一纪录被刷新至87.7%。维京人队赢下了16场比赛，争夺NFC头号种子席位。在季后赛最后阶段，达纳德接连遭遇失利，球队也在连续两场比赛中功亏一篑。

但苏巴斯基队并未因结局而对达纳德失去信心。他们在自由球员市场迅速出手，与达纳德签下了一份为期三年、总价值100% million的合同。尽管苏巴斯基队近年来在四分卫引进上保持克制，避免在选秀中大举交易，但2025年当加内·史密斯索要过高薪资时，他们不得不调整策略。相较于联盟中不断飙升的大合同，达纳德签下的仍是一份“证明自己”的合约。

达纳德是联盟中最佳的更衣室领袖之一。在即将到来的赛季之后，他和苏巴斯基队可能会讨论续约的问题。

达纳德也表达了自己希望在哪里结束职业生涯。

“这始终是梦想，对吧？”他说，“但你永远不知道会发生什么。这就是为什么整个职业生涯中，我都把一切——可以说是一年一年地对待，但更准确地说，是一天一天地对待。我不会只看今天。我们今晚还有会议要参加，今晚就得做好准备。明天的剧本我会提前看，为后天的训练做好准备。”

“我只会尽我所能，只要我还是这支球队的四分卫，就要成为最好的四分卫，然后顺其自然。”

达纳德专注于任务的心态与主教练迈克·麦克唐纳的执教理念十分契合。麦克唐纳成功地将整体团队使命与关键细节的精准把控结合起来。

例如，在上个赛季，达纳德在关键时刻一次次挺身而出，尤其是在雪地条件下的比赛中表现稳定。在对阵洛杉矶公羊队的比赛中，苏巴斯基队凭借防守端的表现完成逆转。在苏巴斯基队最后四场比赛中——包括争夺头号种子席位的最后一战，以及随后三场季后赛的荣耀之旅——达纳德完成了65次传球，传出676码，贡献5次达阵，且没有一次被截断。

无论是他的四次制胜传球，还是季后赛中的稳定发挥，他都将其归功于对关键时刻的准备和反复演练。达纳德说：“当时的感觉就是，好的，这就是我们要执行的战术。到去年那个时候，我已经对所有战术了如指掌，知道在特定防守下我们喜欢的路线，知道在特定覆盖下我可以调整的战术。这全靠反复演练，直到熟能生巧，就像是，好的，我清楚地知道我们在做什么。我想这才是信心的来源。”

在上周的球队训练中，达纳德完成了几次代表性的传球，展现了这种反复演练的成果。其中一次，他在库珀·金斯跑出接球路线前，精准地将球传向底线。

另一次，他将球传向杰森·史密斯-尼格巴的深远角球路线，精准—。

完全是关于通过同一系统解读防守覆盖的接球端。不过，这是一条艰难的路，对史密斯-尼格巴来说也是长期的过程——这位卫冕年度防守球员的成就，不可能在缺乏默契的情况下发生。

然而，一切都不是一蹴而就的。这位新任进攻协调员布赖恩·亨利曾与达纳尔德在旧金山共事，但亨利此前从未负责过战术设计。他们在系统内有大量延续性的基础，但达纳尔德和亨利仅仅需要经验来形成类似的默契。

麦克唐纳希望他们能达到一个点，即在喜欢的战术理念上完全一致，决定带入比赛的战术数量（2024年，1-8、1-10、1-12、1-14、1-16），以及在高压局面下如何协同作战等。

“潜力是无限的。我为什么要给他的成长设限？”麦克唐纳说，“我们尊重他所经历的一切，但这并不意味着我们会在执教时考虑这些因素。我们会在后期保持稳健，所以会全力投入，勇往直前。道理就这么简单。”

苏：达纳尔德在上赛季超级碗LxE对阵鹦鹉队的比赛中，与科比·哈克夫一起进行庆祝模仿，两人于4月哀悼。

“训练营已经开始，我们能把你的比赛水平提升到多高？所以让我们放手一搏，看看一个月后会达到什么水平。我们不会通过走过场来实现这一点。我们会通过正确的方式真正推动他，在战术上挑战他，直面每一个细节。”

在不同球队和城市间辗转的生活

“防守，创造成功的局面，全力以赴地指导他，讨论情境式足球。”

达纳尔德仍在成为主管和协调员的过程中。有一些概念，比如当他感觉自己的后卫和防守端过于松散时——这会导致传球失误——如何花时间纠正这些不良习惯。

无论如何，达纳尔德也知道，如果他不能每天都以完美的状态出现，麦克唐纳的防守将会对他进行严格考验。情况确实如此，“我们之前的密西西比州立大学球员也是这样，维京人的防守协调员布莱恩·弗洛伦采用的是进攻优先、进攻至上的心态。达纳尔德和他的进攻组不能仅仅按照战术板上的安排走过场——他必须做好在开球线上调整的准备，才能在训练中生存下来。”

“在开球线上做出某些调整是具有挑战性且至关重要的，但这正是打四分卫的乐趣所在，”达纳尔德说。“我看过戴夫·布朗、菲利普·布朗、汤姆·布里奇斯、亚伦·罗杰斯在开球线上做出的所有调整。当你能看穿防守，弄清楚他们在做什么，能够做出调整，并选择一个好的战术，这对我来说总是非常有趣。”

从表面上看，达纳尔德显得轻松自如。他放松、舒适，完全掌控局面。

而在内心深处，他却截然相反。他内心有一个非常复杂的目标，即在比赛中发挥出一切创造力。因此，超级碗从来都不是终极结果，而只是这条道路上的一个智慧节点。

“我从未觉得自己已经达到巅峰，”达纳尔德说。“我也从不认为自己会达到。我父亲总是教导我，我拥有的一切都来之不易。我无法说出具体原因，但我一直有这种心态。只要你努力工作，努力终将在某个时刻得到回报，无论是在你的橄榄球生涯中，还是作为朋友、父亲，甚至有一天作为祖父那样的角色。”

“有些事情你知道，在努力工作和经历艰难时刻后，最终都会得到回报。只是你可能不知道具体是什么时候。”

比尔·戈伊希伯格去世，享年83岁，他推动美国竞技国际象棋发展

作者：德里安·利布·麦克莱恩

比尔·戈伊希伯格是美国最重要的国际象棋推动者，他通过组织比赛的创新理念，在长达六十年的职业生涯中，彻底改变并拓展了竞技国际象棋的规模。他于8月3日去世。

美国国际象棋联合会宣布了这一消息，该组织是他长期服务的机构。具体细节尚未公布。

“最初我只是在改进，但那一年发生的一件事让我有了截然不同的想法：在一次他组织的比赛中，他与一名棋手发生了争执。1994年，一名原定参加比赛的棋手因故未能出席，而戈伊希伯格拒绝让其替补上场，因为这将使对手获得先行优势。”戈伊希伯格在思考谁可能对竞技国际象棋感兴趣时，总是跳出常规框架。他比以往任何人都更重视国际象棋的竞技性。

“他的思路更加清晰。根据大陆国际象棋协会的数据，1960年代团队数量仅为1,000支，而到2010年（这是他最后一次更新统计数据的年份），该协会已举办超过2,500场赛事、1,000场赛事，以及超过1,300场奖金赛。”

1956年，戈伊希伯格组织了美国国际象棋联合会首次面向学生的比赛。在此之前，学生比赛通常被视为“非正式”——即不计入官方排名——因为组织者认为学生不愿支付会员费加入联合会。

但事实证明并非如此。1964年4月，在大纽约校际锦标赛上，共有151名参赛者，其中151人均为联合会新会员。同年12月的锦标赛吸引了151名选手——是此前学生比赛人数纪录的两倍多——其中约400名参赛者都是新会员。

同年，戈伊希伯格组织了首届面向小学生的比赛。当时普遍认为，孩子们年龄太小（偶尔出现的神童除外），无法胜任国际象棋比赛。但在接下来的几十年里，小学生比赛成为最受欢迎的校园国际象棋赛事形式。

1969年，戈伊希伯格组织了首届全国高中生锦标赛。该赛事在纽约市举行，吸引了370名选手来自—。

在六十年职业生涯中拓展儿童国际象棋的影响力：

21个州。四年后，他创办了全国高中锦标赛——并于1975年创办了全国小学锦标赛。

这三项赛事现由美国国际象棋联合会主办，自创立以来每年举行，共吸引了超过1,000名参赛者。

1991年，戈伊希伯格先生创办了一项面向幼儿园至12年级学生的锦标赛。该赛事现也由联合会主办，参赛人数通常在12,000至2,000人之间。

为校园国际象棋开启了前所未有的局面。截至上月底，54,100名会员（占总会员数102,000人的近一半）年龄在20岁以下。

1973年，戈伊希伯格先生组织了世界公开赛，面向所有人开放，总奖金达102,000美元（超过100,000美元），比此前任何赛事的奖金高出50%以上。

首届赛事有713名参赛者。在随后的几年里，赛事规模不断扩大，参赛人数通常超过1,000人，总人数达1,500至1,966人，其中1,000人参加公开赛，100人参加站位赛。

尽管后来出现的其他赛事奖金最终超过了世界公开赛，但该赛事仍是全球历史最悠久、规模最大的持续举办的公开赛。凭借这一成功，戈伊希伯格先生还创办了其他重要年度赛事，包括芝加哥公开赛和北美公开赛。

几十年来，希望获得国际头衔（尤其是最高级别的国际特级大师）的美国棋手不得不前往欧洲参赛，因为美国缺乏能满足相关要求的高水平国际赛事。

1976年，戈伊希伯格先生开始组织赛事，帮助美国棋手获得国际等级分和标准分。多年来，他还将多个大型公开赛扩展至九轮，这是棋手获得标准分的最低要求。包括三届美国冠军乔尔·本杰明在内的许多美国棋手，都是在戈伊希伯格的公开赛中首次获得国际等级分和标准分。该赛事于1962年在纽约市曼哈顿举行，戈伊希伯格是家中两个孩子中的长子，父母均为曼陀林演奏者。作为一名优秀的棋手，他的弟弟妹妹的成就也同样出色。

2008年，比尔·戈伊希伯格（左）与美国国际象棋联合会前主席哈罗德·温斯顿合影。

比尔年幼时，戈伊希伯格一家搬到了纽约州芒特弗农，他在那里长大。他大约在5岁时跟父亲学会了下棋，其父是一名国际象棋大师兼教练，目前正在撰写一本关于戈伊希伯格先生的书。

“在他十几岁时，父亲为他订阅了《国际象棋评论》，这是当时美国两大主要国际象棋期刊之一。他还阅读了当地图书馆里所有的国际象棋书籍。”

他于1964年首次参加比赛，并于1964年成为大师，同年还创下了全国第三多的赛事对局纪录。1965年，他开始担任美国国际象棋联合会的统计员，并成为《国际象棋生活》的联合编辑，与《国际象棋评论》展开竞争。

戈伊希伯格先生在年轻时就开始组织赛事，源于一次挫折。1962年，他参加了纽约市锦标赛，但未能夺冠。他原本希望在第二年再次参赛，但由于年龄限制（该赛事仅限20岁以下棋手），且1963年未能举办，他决定在1966年自行组织比赛。这场比赛吸引了14名参赛者，比1962年多了10人。随后，他组织了1963年的比赛，参赛人数达92人。

尽管他继续参赛——甚至曾以50,000分、9,000分的领先优势，成为国际象棋联合会授予的第三高分选手，并在1964–1965年、1965年、1966年和1967年期间保持活跃，但最终将重心转向了1981年秋季锦标赛的组织工作。

1966年初，他创立了纽约市象棋协会（New York City Chess Association），作为组织比赛的平台。数年后，在一次雄心勃勃的改组中，他将其更名为美-美（U.S.-American）象棋协会。

1966年，他成为美国象棋联合会执行委员；1967年，他被任命为主席，并担任该职位直至1989年。

1992年，他与布伦达·L·特伦斯（Brenda L. Terence）结婚。布伦达是一位当代科学领域的专家，与他共同经营大陆（Continental）象棋协会。她于2012年去世。他身后留有一位妹妹蕾娜（Rena），并在戈伊希伯格去世后成为其兄弟。

“在过去的10年里，他几乎可以肯定是美国最重要的国际象棋赛事组织者，”布伦达·布伦德森（Brenda Brenderson）评价道。布伦达是一位大师级棋手，曾于1960年代首次参加比赛。她补充说：“恐怕你得花上不少时间，才能找出谁可能是第二号组织者。”

伊丽莎白·史密斯，91岁，茱莉亚学院声乐教练，鼓励演员找到自己的声音

作者：诺斯·迪克斯

伊丽莎白·史密斯是茱莉亚戏剧学院的资深教员兼声乐教练，在半个多世纪的职业生涯中指导了无数知名表演者。她于今年7月29日在纽约州金斯顿的家中去世。

死因为心力衰竭，其伴侣——来自丘吉尔的舞蹈艺术教授表示。

1964年，茱莉亚学院创办戏剧系，该项目是最早开设此类专业的院校之一，首次提供为期一年的课程。几周后，他还指导了美国，史密斯先生是最严格的一批表演者之一。该项目后来成为最成功的项目之一，也是实力最强的表演者之一。史密斯先生在1997年接受《纽约时报》采访时表示，在茱莉亚学院任教“值得每一天的付出”。

伊丽莎白·史密斯生于1920年，曾帮助贝特·艾伦（Bente Allen）、温德尔·皮尔斯（Wendell Pierce）、罗伯特·席梅尔（Robert Schimmel）、詹姆斯·安德森（James Anderson）、帕蒂·拉朋（Patti LaPene）、克里斯蒂安·爱德华兹（Christian Edwards）等众多演员的职业发展。

史密斯先生以严格的声乐教学著称，对学生要求极高，同时也全身心投入他们的成长。

1959年从茱莉亚学院毕业的科学史学者回忆道，当史密斯先生在纽

塑造明星的幕后推手

在试镜过程中。

“她没有在看，她在倾听。最近关注的是声音、科学，以及在一次采访中提到的：‘战争爆发时，声音所蕴含的潜力！’”

“有些学生不让声音表达，而在他们所在的地区，他们正在上课。最近你几乎超越了‘内疚’的境界，”她说，‘因为我只是有一个声音，它直接站在我这边。’”

在1994年接受《美国戏剧》杂志采访时，

!

史密斯先生表示，从事戏剧教育需要培养一种特定类型的声音。“运动员不会在没有经过严格训练的情况下参加比赛，然而，即使是那些从事表演的人，甚至没有经过训练也能上场。”

史密斯先生还在课堂之外深刻影响了专业戏剧。作为一名声音和方言指导，她曾参与百老汇的杰克逊剧院及全国几乎所有地区剧院的工作。她的首部百老汇作品是1974年为《Rounds》获得国家艺术学院奖。此后，她参与的作品涵盖广泛，从2003年的The Wack's Theatre到2005年百老汇系列剧My Way Lady的最后一部作品，

!

她在其中塑造了劳伦·安德森普通声音的演变。

围绕她在莎士比亚领域的专业知识展开的对话。

“当她教授莎士比亚时，演员们能真正理解自己在说什么，”玛丽·M·马利在采访中表示。马利是表演公司的联合创始人，也是朱利亚德戏剧学院最后10年的管理者。“许多莎士比亚作品的表演者并不理解台词。你不知道他们在说什么，因为他们自己也不知道。但跟着她学习后，他们就懂了。”在接受《美国戏剧》采访时，史密斯先生描述了在表演中运用方言的基本原理。

身体与声音密切相关。为美好的一天表演！正如《美国戏剧》所言，身体可以呼吸。理想情况下，你试图让身体摆脱不必要的束缚，让它更容易有机会运用自身的发声机制。结果是，一旦进入状态，就如同上了车。这是使其运作的根本能量。

伊丽莎白·艾莉森·史密斯于1934年出生在苏格兰切斯特伯恩的一个村庄，并在英格兰接受教育。她是医生玛丽·简·史密斯和家庭主妇艾莉森·伊芙琳·麦克法里什的女儿。伊丽莎白·史密斯与女演员莱斯利·吴在1970学年期间就读于朱利亚德学院。左图为史密斯女士1978-79年在纽约表演公司期间的照片。

她的家庭由母亲打理。作为一名有抱负的演员，她先后就读于寄宿学校和皇家中央演讲与戏剧学院。在声音老师J·克利福德·塔伦特的鼓励下，她在皇家戏剧艺术学院任教五年后前往美国。

两年后，她与丘吉尔相识，当时他们都在巴德学院任教，距今已有23年。丘吉尔在采访中表示：“她留下的遗产是她教过的所有演员。”

史密斯女士在教学中发现了需求——以及某种衰退，她帮助学生们真正找到自己的声音。

未来几年将揭示的细节，以及10个时刻让人懂得如何感受。“我会尝试解释莎士比亚的故事，比如David Manley的故事，”她告诉《美国戏剧》，“比如13个人对自己的声音充满勇气。”

缅因州的故事 引发广泛共鸣

约翰·卡里亚尼（John Cariani）是一位剧作家兼演员， 在其成长的州找到了创作灵感。

伊丽莎白·文森特利（ELIZABETH VINCENTELLI）报道

缅因州埃德明顿——在约翰·卡里亚尼居住的纽约市， 戏剧爱好者们熟知他作为一名性格演员，能够轻松自如、 毫不费力地为截然不同的作品注入稳定感。他的百老汇首秀 是在2008年《屋顶上的提琴手》复排版中饰演可怜的 纳特·梅里迪安（Meridian），并因此获得托尼奖提名。 此后，他在《事出有因》（2010）、《乐队来访》（2017） 和《卡罗琳，或变迁》（2022）中演唱的歌曲同样引人注目。

但这并不是三年前他在斯塔滕岛瓦格纳学院剧院 观看演出时，被粉丝们像对待摇滚明星一样簇拥的原因。

“感觉就像我把猫王埃尔维斯·普雷斯利带到了学校，” 交通剧团（Transport Group Theater Company）的艺术总监 杰克·卡明斯（2）说，他负责执导瓦格纳学院的这场演出。 “在学生们眼中，我因为认识约翰而变得很酷，而他正在看他们的演出。”

孩子们之所以如此疯狂，是因为卡里亚尼还是畅销剧作 《几乎，缅因》（Almost, Maine）的作者——根据出版商 康科德剧院（Concord Theatre）的数据，自2006年以来， 该剧已在全球上演约6,000场，并在2020年售出200本剧本 / 艺术书。

《几乎，缅因》于2004年在波特兰舞台剧院首演， 两年后在外百老汇上演。（交通剧团于2014年复排该剧， 卡里亚尼也参与了演出。）该剧由多个故事组成， 背景设定在缅因州北部一个寒冷的夜晚，那里与卡里亚尼的家乡 普雷斯克岛（Presque Isle）非常相似，距加拿大边境仅20分钟。 剧中既有生存的艰辛，也有奇思妙想，但同样扎根于当地的日常生活， 从观赏北极光的壮丽到应对笨重的 CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

为了一圈旋转而不择手段

一位因失去而驱动的作曲家，将阿片类药物流行病转化为奇幻寓言。

作者：亚历克斯·马歇尔

编辑 / 主编——对于美国作曲家米茜·马佐利（Missy Mazzoli）而言，阿片类药物危机与一则遥远的新闻事件密切相关。这是家族的历史。

2006年，她的一位表亲因过量服用OxyCurtis而孤独离世。三年后，另一位表亲死于海洛因过量，而她最初是因为处方止痛药成瘾才开始吸食海洛因。

“它毁了我的姑姑和姑父，”马佐利在采访中说道，“也毁了我的父亲——那种痛苦，就像是成为那样的人。”

2016年，马佐利和她的合作伙伴里斯·瓦夫雷克（Reece Vavrek）的一位名叫莉齐的朋友也因过量服药去世。“我们认识的人中，没有谁不曾受到这场危机的影响，”马佐利说，并补充道，他们对这一问题规模的日益认识让他们产生了一个想法。“这里面有某种可操作的东西。”

如今，马佐利和瓦夫雷克揭晓了这一悲剧灵感的成果。《飞驰的解药》（The Galloping Cure）是一部奇幻、愤怒，有时又充满幽默的歌剧，于周日在爱丁堡国际艺术节首演。

本周爱丁堡还将上演两场《飞驰的解药》，随后该剧将转至新汉德斯波特的下半部分。该剧的美国首演计划于2027年秋季在旧金山歌剧院举行。

《飞驰的解药》的开场是一个破败的工业小镇的居民向一位医生（多妮埃拉·麦克饰）抱怨慢性疼痛，而医生却无能为力。直到一位名叫“幸运麦克”（贾斯汀·奥斯汀饰）的迷人陌生人带着一种焦糖出现，这种焦糖能让任何骑上闪亮白马的人立刻缓解疼痛，局面才发生变化。

很快，居民们开始从幸运麦克那里租借信仰之马，只为在家中享受片刻的快感，甚至不惜让他取走自己的眼睛、头发、膝盖骨和舌头，只为再次骑上焦糖旋转。

考虑到欧洲和美国众多歌剧院曾受益于赛克勒家族的捐赠——其旗下的普渡制药公司生产并推广了OxyCurtis（一种与阿片类药物危机密切相关的高利润止痛药），《飞驰的解药》的寓言意义更显深刻。

纽约大都会歌剧院和伦敦皇家歌剧院都曾接受赛克勒家族的捐款。苏格兰歌剧院也是如此，它是爱丁堡《飞驰的解药》的制作合作伙伴，并曾使用赛克勒家族的捐款资助其格拉斯哥剧院的翻新工程，而《飞驰的解药》正是在此重新装修后的剧院首演。苏格兰歌剧院在一封电子邮件中表示，自接受捐款以来，他们对赛克勒家族“对阿片类药物危机的共谋”有了新的理解。

这部作品对成瘾的描绘可能在苏格兰引起更广泛的共鸣。尽管苏格兰从未经历过美国那样规模的处方阿片类药物危机，但长期以来一直存在海洛因和其他毒品问题。根据政府数据，2024年，苏格兰有超过1,000人死于药物滥用。马佐利和瓦夫雷克在近期采访中表示，当他们开始创作这部歌剧时，决定不将其打造成一部“道德说教”作品，也不直接提及这场危机。马佐利说，她不想通过任何方式暗示赛克勒家族，从而“给他们更多空间”。

“艺术是一个纪念逝者、提出重大问题、讲述关于美国和世界现状的有意义故事的地方，”马佐利说，“我不想用那些东西玷污它。”

作曲家和剧本作者委托美国小说家卡伦·拉塞尔（Karen Russell）为这部歌剧创作一个寓言基础，拉塞尔想出了焦糖的点子。随后，他们与以《战马》（War Horse）闻名的导演汤姆·梅林（Tom Merin）合作，为一部名为“蜗牛火焰”（snailfire）的作品创造了一个由某处杜撰的场景。梅林表示，这让他联想到《毒戒》（Trainspotting）——那部关于海洛因成瘾者的黑色喜剧电影——以及《理发师陶德》（Sweeney Todd），那个关于杀人成性的理发师的恐怖故事。

周一的演出表明，《飞驰的解药》（The Galloping Cure）不负众望。伦敦《泰晤士报》的理查德·莫里森（Richard Morrison）称其为“本世纪迄今最具力量的音乐戏剧作品之一”。

马佐利（Mazzoli）的音乐灵感来自老虎机的铃声（另一种让人上瘾的娱乐）以及她在巴黎和科尼岛（Coney Island）听到的卡通音效。作品中有多处管弦乐段奇妙地模仿熟悉角色的分裂状态或通过媒介唤起药物致幻的强烈感受。

然而，当角色死亡时，管弦乐队戛然而止，只留下歌声在剧院中回荡。马佐利说，她在创作这一部分时想起了她的朋友，那位独自过量服药的人。“一想到这件事，我就感到不安。”她说。

导演梅林表示，他的主要挑战是确保观众会觉得焦糖充满诱惑，并想要与过量服用者一同尝试，而不是评判他们的选择。他和90年代设计师丽贝卡·林格尔（Rebecca Ringel）决定不使用真正的焦糖，而是选择了几匹与真人等大的白马，当骑手沐浴在霓虹灯光中时，这些白马会直冲云霄。

这部作品的室内设计和音乐可能会让部分观众期待一个圆满的结局。马佐利说，有些人可能希望医生能重新拯救幸运麦克（Lucky Mack）和他邪恶的焦糖。

但她表示，这并不真实。“这不是我们生活的世界。”她补充道，阿片类药物危机仍在发生——但许多人也从止痛药中受益。在歌剧中，她说，她的角色需要找出“如何与魔鬼共存”的方法。

重返边缘，

职业生涯的提升

接续C1版

退伍军人在某种胜利巡演的氛围中回归。

来自英格兰白金汉郡的20岁演员马利亚诺（Ania Magliano）表示，在爱丁堡街头，人们并不一定会认出她，尽管爱丁堡边缘艺术节将持续至8月31日。但她的单口喜剧表演——《桃子假象》（Peach Faux）——在节目中以Z世代女孩的口吻抨击温斯顿·丘吉尔，并描述了一次改变人生的感官抑郁舱之旅——在周五艺术节开幕前几周就已售罄。

她说，迄今最大的不同在于爱丁堡观众的热情，“他们真的很投入”。随机来看，前排的两名观众穿着自制的“周末更新”（Weekend Update）T恤，上面印有她和扬（Young）的面孔。

马利亚诺19岁时首次参加边缘艺术节，最初担任接待员，观看status-up演出。她说自己投入太多，有时一晚只睡一小时，然后在浴室地板上小憩。

“反响的规模确实让我感到惊讶。”

安·博拉德 早上7点，斯彭斯1,207号 彭托尼亚

“周末更新”的片段在社交媒体上广泛传播，包括一些关于安德鲁·蒙巴顿-温莎（前诊断为安德鲁王子）的大胆笑话，以及一个关于马克·扎克伯格和海伦的皮条客的笑话，后者引发了一些愤怒。

“反响的规模确实让我感到惊讶，”马利亚诺说。她提到，扬在电视演播室偶遇喜剧演员格雷厄姆·诺顿（Graham Norton）后被对方认出，以及特朗普总统重新测试了《周六夜现场》（S.N.L.）的一个小品，这些评论让她意识到影响力之大。

对表演者来说，艺术节往往是一场残酷的竞争，他们面临高昂的成本和来自数千名竞争对手的激烈竞争，这些对手都试图吸引整个8月涌入爱丁堡的观众。但英国版《周六夜现场》——将于9月开启第二季——为像扬这样的演员带来了曝光机会。

《周末更新》的扬也几乎售罄了他在边缘艺术节的所有场次，格拉斯哥单口喜剧演员拉里·迪恩（Larry Dean）同样受益。

迪恩38岁，十年前首次参加边缘艺术节，当时他穿着红色连体衣在台上表演了10分钟。今年，他带来了名为《公牛电话》（Bullfone）的表演，随后计划在英国巡演。

“在《周六夜现场》之前，”他说，“我的生活简直就是‘一、边缘艺术节，二、边缘艺术节’。除了单口喜剧，我几乎没做过其他事。”但现在，他因在节目中模仿查尔斯三世国王或路易斯·泰鲁（Louis Theroux）而为人熟知——尽管

“我的彼得·曼德尔森（Peter Mandelson）模仿没得到多少喜爱，”他提到英国前驻美大使，后者因与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的关系被解职。

迪恩表示，尽管《周六夜现场》的重新测试出人意料，但他并不惊讶节目能走红。“我认为人们只是对一切的期望值都降低了，所以有点失望。”

对他来说，这种心态也延伸到了他在边缘艺术节的生活中，政策性住宿往往让表演者住在条件简陋的地方。他曾住过的公寓有老鼠，甚至可能还有飞行的蟑螂。今年，他住在学生宿舍。“天知道

我来之前那间房发生过什么。没人知道。”他说。

迄今为止，大多数边缘艺术节的表演者认为，这些挣扎值得，因为可能带来的曝光机会。25岁的爱丁堡单口喜剧演员阿尼亚·阿丹斯坎是英国版《周六夜现场》的编剧，他说艺术节如今已成为喜剧演员被节目发掘的地方。他最初是在去年艺术节上首次个人巡演后被节目组成员看中并邀请的。

阿丹斯坎说道，他的节目《周末季刊》在节日活动的前4周几乎场场售罄，他常听到的一个说法是，“理想的故事”属于普兰泰克·沃勒-布里奇，她的职业生涯正是从这个节日开始，凭借《寻找唯一的“S.N.L.”》。“他说，‘在后爱丁堡艺穗节的世界里，还有另一条出路。总有地方可去。’”

对于马利亚诺来说，她将于11月在英国和美国巡演《桃子伪装》，重返艺穗节就像是一种“斯德哥尔摩综合征”，回归“我的根源”。

但她无法想象有什么名气能阻止她回来——除非，她问道，“我连续出演5部漫威电影”。

加布里埃尔·费拉里：评论手记

[...OMITTED...]

看似轻松的卓越编程

一位音乐总监懂得如何让观众猝不及防，然后又让他们放松下来：

唤起世界的音乐：博物馆的价格可能是鹰的补充，取决于在说什么——或者在说什么样的博物馆。强烈的对比能够拓展对新作品的理解，并为经典作品带来反直觉的秩序感。

在担任林肯中心节日管弦乐团（Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center）音乐总监的头三年（同时也是其第二年担任艺术总监），Inundate, Microsoft 展现出强劲的势头。通过近期举办的首演免费音乐会和高端演出，他运用了一套公式，将观众引入节目之中。

凭借出色的沟通能力和亲和的态度，他既能让你猝不及防，又能让你放松自如。每场音乐会在戴维·柯林斯音乐厅（David Collins Hall）开场时，他都会以主持人的身份介绍曲目，阐述节目的理念，并提供不显突兀的建议来引导你的注意力。随后，他转向乐团，以展现音乐和戏剧性内容的指挥方式，激发出自信而细腻的管弦乐音响，同时掌控音量。

首场节目《母爱》（7月26日至8月3日）以芭蕾舞曲开场和收尾。音乐会以威廉·格兰特·斯蒂尔（William Grant Still）的弦乐队作品《母与子》开场，这首曲子以温柔、激励人心的旋律展开，在丰满的和声中起伏摇曳，带有蓝调的暗示。在贝斯沃思（Baysworth）的指挥下，你能感受到这首曲子仿佛在清晨的训练中被束缚：一位母亲哼唱着前一晚的歌谣，以此抚慰。

阿蒙·蒙哥马利（Amon Montgomery）的独奏音乐会《Three Bigloreses Paths》在纽约首演，致敬她已故的母亲博比·麦考利（Bobbie McCauley）——一位剧作家、导演、活动家和诗人，其作品为这场音乐会的三个乐章提供了标题。蒙哥马利和其他音乐家小心翼翼地在乐队中描绘出如梦似幻的金色光芒，第一乐章中锐利的音色与质朴的美感交织。在 All the Incentives and I 中，斯基亚沃尼（Schiavon）以其嗓音唱出一段 unsanitary 的旋律，在闪烁的弦乐背景上升腾，歌声丰富而坚定，仿佛超越了言语。在其他段落，胜利与渴望的终止式在首次聆听时便深深打动人心。首次是首次的结果。他几乎与演奏同等投入，以精湛的技巧和更深层次的共鸣——同理心——即兴演绎蒙哥马利的素材，其手势带有触觉般的即时性，直抵观众的内心与终点。

左图：被称为 Star Schiavon 的演奏家与林肯中心节日管弦乐团在戴维·柯林斯音乐厅演出阿蒙·蒙哥马利的《Three Bigloreses Paths》。下图：迪肯·麦吉尔（Deacon, McGill，左）和勒蒙特·麦吉尔（LeMont McGill，右）演奏比利·柴尔德（Billy Childs）的双重协奏曲《A More Perfect Classic》。

布拉姆斯的《第二交响曲》为芭蕾舞曲画上了句号，其中一个乐章唤起了他著名的摇篮曲。在这里，贝斯沃思以细腻而精准的处理，让你几乎能听到心灵乐句之间的屏息。在《母与子》和《Three Bigloreses Paths》之后，这首音乐显得成熟而克制，而终乐章的胜利因其来之不易而更加令人满足。

第二场节目《新的开始》（8月7日至8日）以春天为主题，更广泛地说，是关于节日——其中包括一部首演交响曲、一部母亲的首部双重协奏曲，以及一部作品的首次演出。弗雷德里克·德科克（Frederick DeKock）的《On Hearing the First

林肯中心节日管弦乐团将新音乐与经典作品对话。

《春日车马》开场，将一首挪威民歌融入一片幽灵般的景观，与碳素呼唤（由柔和的展示呈现）和丰满、近乎日常的和声共存。随后是本场音乐会的重点作品及独奏训练：比利·蔡尔德（Billy Childs）为长笛与单簧管创作的协奏曲《更完美的经典》在纽约的首演。

这部以《宪法》为灵感的作品《联合》不仅关乎国家，更关乎家庭。协奏曲为兄弟二人而作：安东尼（纽约爱乐乐团首席单簧管）和贝松·麦吉尔（西雅图交响乐团首席低音提琴），并在第一乐章中展开。蔡尔德的创作在听觉旅程与悲剧性居民之间建立了联系，第二乐章则以积极的尘埃点缀情绪。然而到了第三乐章，其结构变得不完整：尽管贯穿始终，却未能发展出社群意识，反而充斥着无数曾被讨论的社会议题、负面形象，以及过量的技巧性展示。原文描述的情形显得模糊且矛盾。首演的《更完美的经典》未能兑现其承诺或明确意图。麦吉尔兄弟虽是出色的音乐家，但这部协奏曲的整体表现却不及其各部分之和。

演出结束后，节目回顾了以往的成就，并带来了汉娜·席马尔特（Hannah Schimalt）富有洞察力的《改变航向》的首演。该作品重新想象了罗伯特·席马尔特（Robert Schimalt）第一交响曲（第二乐章，常被简称为《春》）中的元素，以应对气候变化。作品前半部分让人感觉席马尔特的交响曲在席马尔特的作品中重现，但伴随着滑动的乐章主题，仿佛在被剥夺了胜利的终止式后逐渐消融。

在其他段落，席马尔特打破和弦进行的框架，朝席马尔特的方向转化，并将其变为全球性的音景。更多情感则通过观看单键盘玻璃乐器的演奏而生，营造出声音正在流逝的印象。席马尔特活泼的木管乐贯穿整个阴森的结构，并通过相同的乐器传递震颤。《改变航向》既是对过去的自然反思，也是对当下的挽歌，充满魅力。

当席马尔特的交响曲随后上演时，因《改变航向》的首演而显得更加动人。这部创作于席马尔特婚姻初期的作品，读来如同一幅肖像，描绘着一个人在过去的欢笑或泪水中徘徊。来自《改变航向》的熟悉主题在此听来几乎异常丰富，春天的景象在高清晰度下更显耀眼。贝斯沃思指挥每一部作品时，都展现出清晰的目的性和沉着的风度。

即便是顶级乐团也难以平衡新作与经典曲目的竞争需求。用文字打比方，首演可能像一剂四味苦药，需要忍受浸泡、溺水般的沉重和容忍；而经典则如魔法般帮助当代音乐这剂苦药顺利下咽。

然而，无论节目单如何设计，贝斯沃思已找到一种“同一作品”的公式：将新作与经典并置，并突出那些能在风格间建立联系的小巧瑰宝。贝斯沃思让这一切成为他的乐章，这绝非易事。

贾森·阿代回忆录中的艰辛故事

这位学者因其学术资历受到审查（包括被指控抄袭他人学术成果并夸大个人成就）而从剑桥大学辞职。

撰文：尼尔·因多尔

学术界对这本回忆录——《伟大而不幸的事》——投以关注。该书作者贾森·阿代是一位英国学者，他在剑桥大学教授职位上辞职，此前曾被指控抄袭他人学术成果并夸大个人成就。

在辞职信中，阿代并未承认任何不当行为，并表示：“这些严重的指控、猜测和公众评论对我及我身边的人造成了深刻伤害。”

《伟大而不幸的事》于周二出版，记录了阿代从童年到剑桥大学任职的经历。以下是这本回忆录的部分要点。

他焦虑且容易流泪：“就在快满12岁的前几天，我开口说话了。”

据阿代自述，他出生于加纳移民家庭，在伦敦西南部的公共住房中长大，童年和青少年时期饱受自闭症及其他残疾困扰，直到近12岁时才能正常交流。

“但就在快满12岁的前几天，我开口说话了。”阿代在书中回忆与言语治疗师的对话，“当时正值治疗开始，[治疗师]刚刚说‘你好，贾森’。那一刻，我正在摆弄助听器，它让我感到不适，于是我把它从耳朵里取出来，回了她一句‘你好’。”

学校生活艰难：“我可能需要……一小时才能读懂并理解一页内容。”阿代在书中感慨，直到开始某个时刻，他才能阅读或书写。

“当他决定上大学时，女友‘为我写完了整个申请——包括个人陈述’。”在伦敦圣玛丽大学，他第一次考试仅得了15%。经过努力，成绩迅速提升，以至于一位教授指控他作弊。

他写道：“当你在几乎无法逾越的困境中成功时，世故的成年人会质疑你的可信度。”

大学和研究生阶段充满挑战。阿代提到，由于自身障碍，“有时我可能需要长达一小时才能读懂并理解一页学术文本。”

在研究生阶段的某个时刻，他意识到自己3岁女儿的阅读能力已超过他。女儿在睡前故事时间嘲笑他：“爸爸，你没有读完所有的字。”

阿代原谅了袭击他的年轻人：“他们给了我一个大大的拥抱，我也回以拥抱。”

据阿代所述，他曾在公交车站遭四名男孩暴力殴打，导致癫痫发作。袭击者未被定罪，但在受害者影响陈述中，阿代表示法庭应免除他们的监禁刑罚。

数年后，其中两人出现在他的课堂上。“案件结束后，我们不被允许与你联系，”阿代说他们告诉他，“但我们真的很想感谢你的宽恕，也许现在能见到你是真的。”

“他们给了我一个大大的拥抱，我也回以拥抱。”阿代写道，并补充道，“这两人在那个学期剩余时间里一直留在我的课堂上，表现得[勤奋]且认真。”阿代表示，“他们经常请我为他们写工作和品格推荐信，我欣然答应”，并提到“其中一人请我做他孩子的教父，我欣然接受。”

论文答辩前几周，当我试图回忆读过或写过的内容时，脑中一片空白：

2005年，阿代在书中写道，医生发现他脑底垂体附近有一个小肿瘤。肿瘤在距离博士论文口头答辩不到五周时被切除。

在恢复期间，阿戴突然晕倒，“被送往医院，医生告诉我我当时大脑出现了瞬间问题或失误（他称之为‘小中风’）。他写道：‘现在我面临一个新问题。我无法调取短期记忆。当我试图回忆读过或写过的内容时，脑中一片空白。’”

“论文我花了20多个月时间，现在读起来却像是第一次看到一样。”他继续说道。

阿戴表示，他对论文答辩时遭遇的“时间敌意”毫无准备。但经过艰难的开场后，他最终通过了。

“恭喜你，阿戴博士，”一位教授在答辩结束时对他说，“你以微小修改通过。”

谈到在10天内完成20场录制时，他说：“我真的不知道自己是怎么做到的。”

阿戴个人经历中最受关注的部分之一，是他声称在2001年为慈善筹款而在10天内完成了20场录制。在挑战进行到三分之二时，他在书中写道，他在一次巡回活动中突发疾病并晕倒，导致他不顾医生建议，带着童年疾病留下的恐惧继续奔跑。

“接下来的九场录制同样艰难。‘每场测试我都花了五个多小时才完成。尽管我使用了小册子，但仍需不断参考书中的内容。我的右腿肿胀到平时的两倍。直到今天，我仍不清楚自己是如何做到的。’”

在最后一场马拉松中，阿戴说，他被一所5年制学校的数百名支持者簇拥着。“我不会成为一件好事如果我的故事最终变成像伊卡洛斯飞得离太阳太近那样的警示寓言呢？”

在书中，阿戴的经历比比皆是。他是一名公开的退伍军人。他和妻子决定分居。在2022年新冠疫情期间，他经历了自闭症倦怠，无法下床，甚至想过放弃生命。

但在2022年4月，阿戴写道，伦敦一所声名显赫的大学联系了他，提出了1000的机会。“我经常被国内外学术界视为‘头脑爆炸’的学者，但这是我第一次被英国精英机构主动邀请。”

不久之后，他得知剑桥大学有一个职位空缺。尽管对家庭生活心存顾虑，且内心充满不确定，他仍犹豫是否申请。“如果我完全高估了自己的能力呢？如果我的故事最终变成像伊卡洛斯飞得离太阳太近那样的警示寓言呢？”

艰难时刻，强者瞄准目标

精选影片展现退役狙击手、武术大师与腐败警察。

真人快打2

HBO Max平台播出。

如果你对2002年版《真人快打》最大的不满是缺少X-英雄警察，那么西蒙·麦奎迪的《真人快打2》正好弥补了这一遗憾。在这部动作十足的续集中，警察（马特·厄本饰）是一位出色的科学家，被雷电之神雷登（浅野忠信饰）和苏珊·布莱克（索尼娅·麦克纳米饰）邀请，代表地球与帝王绍康（玛丽莲·福特饰）展开对决。警察的同伴还有琪塔娜公主（阿德琳·鲁道夫饰），她的父亲在二十年前被绍康杀害，以阻止绍康夺取一本魔法典籍中的神力。

值得庆幸的是，《真人快打2》的逻辑到此为止。真正的亮点在于这部续集中那些令人眼花缭乱、充满游戏感的打斗技巧，这正是该系列的招牌特色。厄本完美诠释了警察这一角色，将角色的动作设计与机智表现得淋漓尽致。琪塔娜与绍康的对决同样精彩，一场雨林中的终极对决，最终以对原版游戏的致敬镜头完美收官。

珍珠行动

可在大多数主流平台租借或购买。

大卫·穆肖维茨的《珍珠行动》是一部硬核动作大片，当你以为它会在两条故事线之间失去平衡时，它却出人意料地保持了节奏。影片讲述了一支小型拆弹小队，由泰勒·约翰逊饰演的队长带领，在伦敦帕丁顿区的一处建筑工地发现了一枚二战时期的炸弹，并试图将其拆除。与此同时，一群劫匪——由沃辛顿饰演的X和西奥·詹姆斯饰演的格兰杰·卡拉利斯——利用该社区的疏散作为掩护，瞄准了一家银行。

最好不要剧透这两条线索如何交织，但可以肯定的是，《珍珠行动》极具观赏性。剪辑师马特·梅耶快速切换于拆弹小队、由查德·帕皮尼莫丁·邓恩·格林菲尔德（科林·费尔饰）领导的调查，以及紧张刺激的抢劫过程之间。影片中的背叛与血腥枪战，加上一场惊心动魄的汽车追逐，让人对其中心人物的神秘身份产生重重疑问。

撕裂

Netflix平台播出。

很少有什么电影体验能比观看马特·达蒙和本·阿弗莱克同框更令人愉悦。在乔·卡纳汉执导的这部硬汉警匪片中，达蒙饰演迈阿密战术缉毒组的拉腊米·邓恩警探，阿弗莱克则饰演邓恩信任的探员中士1.0i拜伦。邓恩、拜伦及其团队的另外三名成员——由史蒂文·元、特里亚娜·泰勒和坎迪斯·桑迪诺·莫雷诺饰演——盯上了一栋藏有超过1.2 亿毒资的毒贩窝点。

《撕裂》的前半部分是一部充满紧张气氛的室内剧，邓恩和拜伦互相质疑对方的忠诚——这种一来一回的对峙因达蒙和阿弗莱克之间默契的演技而愈发扣人心弦。影片后半部分则是一部动作十足的反英雄大片，让人想起《盗火线》，其中包括一场装甲车追逐戏，拜伦在其中背叛了邓恩，而这场追逐戏在树林中展开，紧张刺激，为达蒙和阿弗莱克提供了大展身手的机会，成为双雄动作英雄。

史蒂文狙击手

由桑德拉·谢里克执导的这部影片中，拉达·米切尔饰演一位居住在农场的退役女狙击手史蒂文·蔡尔德，与她的青少年女儿安雅（阿纳托尔·马林饰）一起生活。此时，一个致命的人物悄然逼近，他就是“龙”（蒂姆·罗斯饰），一位臭名昭著的雇佣杀手，其凶名之盛，以至于蔡尔德不得不召集昔日的狙击手同伴来保护自己。自此，《史蒂文狙击手》的剧情发展如预期般展开——

“龙”有条不紊地逐个猎杀狙击手，而蔡尔德和安雅则竭力躲避他的狙击镜头。

![从左至右：洛蒂·洛斯、迈克尔·布鲁克斯、杰西卡·麦克纳米和库尔特·厄本在《真人快打2》（史蒂文·廖摄），拉达·米切尔在《史蒂文狙击手》（史蒂夫·廖摄），马特·达蒙和圣塔·塞莉亚在《撕裂》](

)

然而，这部电影的乐趣远不止于单一的情节设计。它以灰暗的基调呈现当下的动作场面，巧妙结合深度情感效果与实体特效，令人印象深刻。在某个瞬间，通过精准持续的快节奏音效设计，Vessho Child 得以在战友的头骨中寻求庇护；另一幕中，一名男子的面部被完全炸飞。这些场景足以占据你的全部视线。

战术抚慰

《战术抚慰》，由罗图伟执导，现已登陆亚马逊Prime Video。

这是一部坚实且广受好评的动作片：影片讲述了刚被武林门派华山派放逐的天才武者 Laughs-Chang（Tim Huang 饰）。尽管师傅风清扬（洪金宝 饰）对他寄予厚望，Laughs 却更愿沉醉于饮酒作乐。龙曾是守护者，而 Laughs 则被卷入门派与同门 Cab 之间的战争，后者由畅销书作家 East（张颖 饰）领导。

随着剧情推进，动作场面悄然展开，并聚焦于 Laughs 与 East 之间的情感纠葛——East 对他隐瞒了真实身份。影片从两人的画作中汲取灵感，讲述了一位英雄在内心渴望与同门忠诚之间抉择的经典故事。罗图伟以独到的东方美学驾驭这些场景，使该片成为武侠迷的必看之作。

回到更简单的约会era.

续接第11页

在与两位电影制作人的采访中，他们表示一直在数字化这些影像资料。他们的宣传明确告诉我，这些是“真实”的约会录像带。

但当我前往洛杉矶市中心附近一间宽敞的摄影棚与他们见面时，他们却说：“这里是我们拍摄视频的地方。”

他们透露，这些片段并非来自一个逝去era.的“发现”影像。这些视频是经过策划的。

《VHS约会》是洛斯·西特伦（Los Citron）和特雷弗·沃利（Trevor Worley）的作品，两人均为18，岁，在美国电影学院相识，并合作过多部喜剧项目。他们经营着一家制作公司Podhead Studios。

为了拍摄这些视频，他们聘请了演员，并要求演员对参与保密。表演内容由西特伦和沃利构思，演员们也对他们表示感谢。例如，由演员瑞安·高尔（Ryan Gaul）饰演的“Doing”一角，高尔是即兴剧团Groundlings的成员。

“实际上，我曾经相信过这些是真实的，并因此接受了西特伦和沃利的邀约。”高尔在谈到被邀请参演时说道。

这些视频在某种程度上成为主流展示，展现了在百视达（Blockbuster）鼎盛时期、人们渴望拥有MTV的年代里寻找爱情的一种方式。从某些角度看，这些视频是当代在线约会的原型。而如今，它们则是一个陌生的时代胶囊。

视频以绿幕为背景拍摄。一台1890s Haguean管摄像机为画面增添了复古质感。

“很多人一生中从未接触过VHS录像带，却仍然被这种形式吸引，”雪城大学传播学副教授夏琳·L'普里·科里多-马赛（Charlene L'Pree Corridor-Massay）说。她研究媒体如何影响身份认同。“因此，这甚至不是他们的怀旧情绪，而是一种文化怀旧。因为它不仅仅是录像带本身，还有发型、服装、俚语。这是对我们所向往的更简单时代的渴望。”

近几个月来，这对搭档开始逐渐放下伪装，部分原因是一些演员——主要是洛杉矶的喜剧演员——开始被认出。在6月纽约翠贝卡电影节的一场活动中，他们放弃了伪装，甚至邀请部分演员与他们同台亮相。

“我们把它想象成一个‘钥匙孔’，”沃利说，这个比喻让自由恋爱时代的观众暂时放下怀疑。

“在当下一切都可能是‘假’的网络世界里，从模拟角度创造这样一种东西很有趣，”他在摄影棚接受采访时补充道，这里正是录制这些录像带的地方。

“如今，我们都习惯了在镜头前表演，”西特伦说，“但过去，你是反对炫耀的。”

西特伦和沃利表示，他们从未预料到这个项目会大获成功。西特伦说，他们通过销售《VHS约会》周边（包括录有短剧的VHS录像带）赚取了约$10,000，但这个账号是一个“爱的标签”。

这些引人注目的服装——包括90年代标志性的超大号卡片、80年代风格的宽框眼镜和各式毛衣——大多来自Western Costume，一家为电视和电影制作供应服装的洛杉矶仓库。为了还原这些造型，西特伦和沃利确实翻阅了旧时尚目录。

“人们在这些角色中看到的共鸣在于，他们很笨拙，”西特伦说，“他们在寻找爱情，而寻找爱情是非常普遍、非常原始、非常45有限的。”

其中一个角色蒂娜·特拉诺瓦（Tina Terranova）由艾莉森·邓巴（Allison Dunbar）饰演。邓巴与高尔一样，是Groundlings剧团的成员，曾参演流媒体剧集《为了全人类》和《疯狂前女友》。

蒂娜自称是“80-90火辣女郎，有着丰满的臀部”。

当邓巴在社交媒体上发现《VHS约会》时，她也一度认为这些录像带是真实的。后来，她发现了朋友——演员大卫·克拉布（David Crabb）。她也想参与其中，甚至已经有了角色设定。试鞋过程花了45分钟，还包括即兴表演的部分。

顶部，特雷弗·沃利（Trevor Worley，左）和洛斯·西特伦（Los Citron）与道具录像带和隐藏摄像机合影，创作了《VHS Dates》。他们声称发现了一盒约会录像带的VHS磁带。实际上，他们雇佣了演员，包括右上方的瑞安·高尔（Ryan Gaul），扮演1890年代和90年代的人。下方的西特伦展示了用于拍摄的额外服装，以及一件蒂娜·特拉诺瓦（Tina Terranova）的T恤。

“将自己最深的渴望和愿望录在一盘‘Poppin’的VHS磁带上，期待有人看到，这本身就存在脆弱性，”邓巴说。

演员阿什莉·贝尔（Ashley Bell）曾在1997年的作品《最后的问题》（The Last Questions）中出演，她在《VHS Dates》中饰演玛琳（Marlene），一个穿着保守、看起来像是“发泄某种攻击性”的女性。

“如果卓越是一种选择，为什么你醒来后不想成为那个状态呢？”玛琳说道。

足够多的人觉得这个角色如此令人信服，以至于在谷歌中输入她的名字时，自动补全的首条建议是“玛琳·德洛雷斯爱情”。

“不管你是否已经找到生命中的挚爱，还是仍在寻觅，我们都曾有过那种尴尬的时刻，”贝尔说。

许多《VHS Dates》账号的粉丝长期以来都认为这些视频是真实的，或者至少对此心存疑问。

甚至在一些名人面前也未能幸免。西特伦和沃利表示，音乐人约翰·梅耶（John Mayer）曾私信该账号。“你得告诉我，”他写道，“这些是：新伪造、旧伪造、旧真实（虽然我认为可能性最小）。我不会告诉任何人。演员对演员。”

西特伦和沃利——演员对演员——向梅耶坦白了真相。梅耶通过代表拒绝置评。

如果视频并非真实，这在社交媒体上会有影响吗？沃利用职业摔角打了个比方，观众仍然会观看巨石给高尔·史蒂夫·奥斯汀来一记“人民的艾利森”。

“它之所以真实，是因为它让人感觉真实；它之所以真，是因为它看起来真实，”雪城大学教授科里多·马赛（Corridor-Massay）说，“如果你告诉粉丝，‘嘿，这不是真的，都是表演’，我认为他们不会因此减少喜爱。”

我并不打算通过采访那些直接给西特伦和沃利写信、并怀疑这批所谓的洛杉矶地下室藏品是否与自己个人历史有关的人来验证这一点。

萨拉·戈捷（Sara Gauthier），31岁，她的父母在1980年代通过视频约会服务相识。她在采访中解释说，她一直希望找到这些录像带，因为它们将“证明父母告诉我们的关于我们生活的故事不是谎言”。

她被真相震惊了。

“我讨厌这样，”她说。

当消息传来时，她表示自己“心碎了”。

随后，德弗雷兹（Deverez），63岁，也给制片人发了邮件。他说自己在1960年代中期于加州桑尼维尔（Sunnyvale）录制了一盘磁带。参与的费用是$3,000。在采访中，德弗雷兹回忆起录制时开了个玩笑。

“当时电视上有一则广告说，‘现在是10点钟。你知道你的孩子在哪里吗？’”他在采访中说，“我记得当时我想说，‘现在是10点钟。你知道你的父母在哪里吗？’”

这段录像最终没有促成成功的匹配，而德弗雷兹只花了$400就被“杀价”了。

“当他们看到我约了几十个女孩，结果都被拒绝后，我想他们可能觉得我可怜，就放弃了，”德弗雷兹说。

和戈捷一样，他也对真相感到意外。

“真的，”他说，“它们看起来和真实的东西太像了。”

塞桑·埃德曼（Sethan Edman），43岁，给创作者写信说，他的祖父爱德华（Edward）曾共同创办了一家视频约会服务，并录制了部分出现在磁带中的潜在舞伴的采访。

在我们的采访开始时，他说自己确信能在一些《VHS Dates》的视频中听到祖父在镜头外向受访者提问的声音，他的兄弟们也有同感。

直到真相揭晓，他才“恍然大悟”。

“从某种最糟糕的角度来说，我有点高兴，”他说道。“我只是喜欢真相。我是说，我爷爷也会这样。他不会希望我到处讲一个不太准确的故事。”

上方的《Darker the Night, Brighton the Stars》由约翰·卡兰（John Carran）创作，下方的图片展现了缅因州的日常生活，包括独自欣赏老年人之美的时刻。

缅因州的故事引发广泛共鸣

晾衣服时把发条上得过紧。

“我热爱我成长的地方，”卡兰说，“我记得我和朋友们会出门仰望星空，一起闲逛。我们并不太在意改变自己，我们就像那些‘生活嗨翻天’的孩子。”

现年57岁的卡兰已成为缅因州非官方的剧作家。今年夏天，他前往斯托宁顿采购物资，为其最新作品《Darker the Night, Brighton the Stars》的制作做准备。该剧由歌剧院艺术团队演出，演出将持续至8月18日。当我们坐在理发店时，他不断向朋友和熟人打招呼。你会感受到一种向他人敞开心扉的坚固堡垒，无论他们是否认识我。

“我喜欢听人们聊天，”卡兰说，“我刚听到有人在说‘抓到我了。你能回答吗？他[supertwo]考验我。’你不由得会想，‘哦，发生了什么？’”

在《Darker the Night》中，你能听到类似的韵味。与其著名的前作一样，该剧由一系列简短对话串联而成。去年，它曾在波特兰舞台剧院以《Not Quite Altered》为名首演，后来卡兰更改了剧名，以免观众将其视为《Altered, Maine》的续集。

这两部剧在叙事结构之外，还有相似之处。卡兰在后续邮件中表示，他的大热作品讲述的是“中年人面对爱情、失去与生活”。剧中角色包括两个走上不同道路的男孩、一名怀孕少女，以及可能或尚未准备好探索更深亲密关系的好友。

卡兰的作品将在三周内上演，均以缅因为背景，作为更大季度演出季的一部分。《Almost, Maine》发生在冬季，《Last Four》（2010年）在春季，《Darker the Night》在夏季。“我的下一部剧将是秋季篇，”他说，“完成这个周期后，我就可以收工了。”

至于接下来的计划尚不明确。首先，他仍是缅因州的常客，尤其是自从他的丈夫也在普雷斯克岛长大。“我们高中时就认识——我们一起参加了舞会，交了朋友，”卡兰挑了挑眉，“然后在18岁时重新开始。”

更广泛地说，他很可能会继续被那些对他而言重要的人物和故事所吸引。其中一些是工薪阶层，他认为这些人在当代美国戏剧中缺乏代表。（塞缪尔·D·亨特是少数几位挖掘类似社会学和爱达荷州贫困地区题材的剧作家之一，尽管其风格迥异。）

卡兰对某些人眼中狭隘、乡土或不够“高大上”的题材的执着，部分解释了《Altered, Maine》和新作《Darker the Night》的吸引力。这些剧作充满慷慨与善意，与全国各地的观众产生共鸣，甚至偶尔出现的酷儿元素也未能阻止它们在学校或保守地区上演。

这种视角源于卡兰对情感真实性的信念。《Darker the Night》的最新剧本包含背景注释，内容宛如缅因州及阿鲁斯图克县的迷你维基百科条目。这与其说是说教，不如说是一种努力——

“我热爱我成长的地方，我记得我和朋友们会出门仰望星空，一起闲逛。”

伊莱恩·戴伊自十几岁起就认识卡兰，她协助他组织了《Darker the Night》的发展性朗读会，参与者是阿鲁斯图克县的年轻居民。在电话采访中，她回忆起一幕结束时所有人都泪流满面的情景。“我们知道生活有其主动性，而这些情感在当今世界中真实存在，”戴伊说，“那一刻仿佛在问：‘我是谁？我可能成为谁？如果我不是人们现在认为的那个人，这样可以吗？’”

卡兰认为这种反应非常重要，因为他希望自己的作品能引起共鸣，并能被广泛的人群迅速理解。“我曾在许多剧院资金匮乏的地方待过很长时间，我认为创作不需要太多外在条件的戏剧很重要，这些戏剧本身就足够。”他说道。他刻意创作不需要复杂服装或布景的剧本，选角也同样灵活。剧院可以用最少4名演员、最多10名演员来排演《缅因州的变迁》。“黑夜更深”采用了类似的手法，斯托宁顿的导演凯瑟琳·马基选择了6名演员参与该剧。

演员兼剧作家的组合并不罕见——特雷西·莱茨就是一个例子，或者新兴的比什拉·沃尔特。例如，卡兰计划于2月在纽约普里特曼表演艺术中心参与新音乐剧《华丽的虚无》的讨论。然而，即使在自己作品最简朴的制作中，他仍保持亲力亲为的态度。

同时担任歌剧院艺术中心艺术总监的马基回忆说，卡兰曾询问她是否可以将《缅因州的变迁》的斯托宁顿版本改编到一所高中演出。“这让我想起了他在百老汇参演的那些精彩演出，”她说，“我实在想不出还有谁能像他这样。”

这种做法背后有一个现实考量，可能与生活在一个不如“大城市”那样便利的地区有关，那里的朋友或邻居可能并不多，这一点在《黑夜更深》中也有所体现。

“在我的新剧本中，我对人们在公众面前努力解决问题、寻找答案的过程很感兴趣，”卡兰说，“我认为戏剧性往往在于试图达成共识的过程，因为这会让你真正深入一些地方，最终才能达成一致。”他笑道，“努力和睦相处其实非常富有戏剧性。”

收购7家百老汇剧院达成协议

一家Émanue®公司还将接管ATG娱乐旗下位于伦敦的10家剧院。

记者：MICHAEL PAYLSON Émanue®是一位第三方木桩经纪人，正在打造一家涉足视觉艺术、摔跤、音乐、收藏车及戏剧售票等多个领域的活动公司。该公司于周日宣布，其企业已与拥有百老汇及伦敦西区剧院的英国公司ATG娱乐达成收购协议。

Émanue®旗下的MABI公司已与ATG达成协议，从美国私募股权公司普罗维登斯股权合伙公司（Providence Equity Partners）手中收购ATG。普罗维登斯自2013年起持有ATG的控股权。交易财务条款未予披露，但《金融时报》报道称，预计交易价格约为6亿美元。

该收购需获得监管部门批准。

ATG是百老汇三大房东中规模最小的一家，控制着该区41家剧院中的部分剧院。同时，ATG作为百老汇演出的制作方，活动日益频繁，包括一部计划于1970年1月首演的多莉·帕夫斯（Dolly Purves）音乐剧。此前，ATG制作的2014年百老汇复排剧《卡尔卡雷》（Calcare）因投资亏损逾1亿美元而备受争议。

该交易包括位于曼哈顿西区街的伊顿剧院（Eaton Theater），目前正在上演《哈利·波特与弯曲的孩子》（Harry Potter and the Curved Child）。

ATG在伦敦的影响力更大，在西区运营着10家剧院。其全球业务版图覆盖英国、美国、德国及西班牙的70个场馆。此外，ATG还与伦敦制作人苏珊·弗里德曼（Susan Friedman）的制作公司存在财务关联。弗里德曼是西区及百老汇的知名制作人。

MABI已在戏剧行业占据一席之地。去年，该公司收购了Today!™——一家在美国、英国及澳大利亚戏剧产业快速增长的企业。

Émanue®在新闻稿中表示：“这是一项长期押注，关乎现场演出的未来。”MABI在同一份新闻稿中称，“2015年ATG将继续沿用现有品牌及管理团队。”

在纽约，ATG长期持有百老汇最大的剧院之一——利里克剧院（Lyric），该剧院多年来一直上演《哈利·波特与弯曲的孩子》。ATG还拥有百老汇最小的明斯特剧院（Minster），该剧院近期推出多部成功作品，包括两部由丹尼尔·雷德克里夫主演的剧目：复排剧《欢乐满航程》（Merry We Roll Along）及单场演出剧目《万物之劫》（Every of What Things）。

2023年，ATG接管了原由日本剧院公司（Japanese Theatres）运营的8家剧院。日本剧院前所有者乔丹·贝迪（Jordan Bedi）在ATG中保留了少数股权。

国家美术馆面临指控

活动为避特朗普不满而迁移，前官员称。

作者：JACDANNY SMALL

2025年5月，学者们对一场名为“美国与墨西哥的色彩界线”的研讨会感到困惑：原定在华盛顿国家美术馆举行的公开会议被转移至数英里外的一家规模较小的机构——查尔斯顿公园（Charleston Park），一家博物馆兼研究中心。

该研讨会由博物馆的视觉艺术高级研究中心策划，旨在探讨美国和墨西哥艺术中的种族问题，其灵感来自该中心对黑人和西班牙市场儿童的研究。该活动被称为。

为何该机构取消了线上参与方式，将活动从官网撤下，并改至查尔斯顿公园？

上周，曾领导策划该会议的前博物馆高级主管史蒂文·纳尔逊（Steven Nelson）在接受采访时，就国家美术馆在与“东中部政府效率部”（East Middle Department of Government Efficiency，简称DOGE）代表会面后对活动进行“软性审查”的三个问题作出回应。

纳尔逊表示，这些调整是为了避免白宫不满，因特朗普总统曾宣布对联邦资助机构实施“不合规反审查”（non-conformity antismime）。DOGE正在审查美术馆，因其2025年运营预算的70%来自联邦政府。“显然，国家美术馆将‘色彩界线’视为一个需要解决的问题，而非一场重要的学术会议。”纳尔逊在10月发表于一份艺术史季刊的文章中写道。

国家美术馆未回应置评请求。

纳尔逊承认，美术馆领导层迁移研讨会的初衷在某种程度上是为了保住它，但他批评机构通过限制活动的公开性来限制言论自由，当时特朗普政府正试图重塑美国历史。他表示，国家美术馆原计划在可容纳400人的场地举办研讨会，但最终改至查尔斯顿公园（仅容纳40人）的会议厅。“但发言人戴维斯·海伊（Davis High）在声明中表示：‘特朗普政府赞赏博物馆及其他机构通过客观视角呈现美国历史的努力。’”

纳尔逊在研讨会迁移决定作出两个月后离职，发布了一份未详细说明离职原因的简短告别信：“我将永远珍惜这段经历。”

在采访中，他表示离职的部分原因是美术馆迁移“色彩界线”研讨会的决定。

纳尔逊说：“我们认为国家美术馆馆长一直是建设公平博物馆的积极支持者。但美术馆与史密森学会一样，在2025年1月的一项行政令下关闭了监督多元化倡议的办公室，削弱了我们的能力。”

在文章中，纳尔逊还描述了其他机构的“软性审查”事件，包括艾米·米切尔（Amy Mitchell）去年在国家肖像馆的遭遇：她得知自己描绘变性自由女神像的画作将被替换为视频。史密森学会发言人后来解释，取消活动是为了通过视频为作品提供背景，而非替换。

国家美术馆尚未成为白宫及其成员。

以下是忠实于原文的中文翻译：

---

政府指责少数史密森学会的科学家展示了冒犯性或未受保护的材料。去年，特朗普总统宣布他将担任国家肖像画廊的"Ron Says"一职，此举促使她辞职。他近期还通过一项行政命令对美国历史博物馆进行了调查，要求在展品旁设置标识，引导参观者前往其他地方获取“关于美国历史的准确信息”。这些标识尚未安装。

“他在给《纽约时报》的一份声明中表示，他之所以撰写关于‘色彩界线’研讨会的文章，是因为担忧保护黑人历史和学术多样性，以及‘对抗’。”

“这些机构在应对政府的攻击时认为自己在做正确的事，”他说道，“但他们往往正中‘Tramps’的下怀，助长了软性审查。”

去哪里吃 / 贝基·休斯（BECKY HUGHES）

满足读者奇思妙想的美食之旅

尝试移动奶酪拼盘，品味复杂的气泡鸡尾酒，或品尝经典牛肉鞑靼。

是时候做我最喜欢的事了：解决你们的小众用餐需求，并希望为你提供一个样本解决方案。过去的一个月让我感觉自己像一辆在转弯时失控的汽车。在忙什么呢？哦，我想我会去中城的奶酪传送带餐厅逛逛，也许打几个电话看看镇上有没有地方能为我调制一杯夸张的鸡尾酒。本周某个时候，我还得吃一份牛肉礼服。让我看看我的日程安排。

希望你的问题能尽快出现？请发送电子邮件至 whoreman@nytimes.com。

奶酪传送带

谁家的奶酪拼盘做得出色？奶酪本身和搭配都很棒？ . . . . * . . . . * . . . .

这里有一个休斯家族的趣事。我父母是在洛杉矶一家传送带餐厅订婚的，据说当时那里非常不错。最近去新开的伦敦进口餐厅Pick and Cheese则是我第一次体验真正的传送带美食，我对其印象之深完全出乎意料。它位于Benny Hall内，该餐厅最近接管了第五大道上的Lord & Taylor大楼（基本上就在入口旁边，这样你就能避开整个美食广场的喧嚣）。

每个经过的玻璃展示柜价格在 $1.95 到 $6.95, 之间，里面装着一大块美国自制奶酪和一份意外搭配。标配包括一块Venomte Shepherd奶酪，配上一勺柑橘基酱汁；一块来自Mystic Cheese的易碎Whalehide三角楔形奶酪，搭配一抹柠檬凝乳；以及一块来自Jasper Hill Farm的蓝纹奶酪，配上一块巧克力布朗尼。傻气吗？也许吧。精彩吗？绝对是的。

寻找费力的鸡尾酒

我四处寻觅，想找到一杯正宗的拉莫斯金菲士（Ramos gin fizz）。我走遍了整个城市，也搜寻过类似的鸡尾酒，但都没有找到真正接近的。我知道这款酒调制起来非常费力，但心之所向，无法抗拒！………………

我必须承认，当我第一次看到你的提问时，我心想：“一款多年前的鸡尾酒真的那么难找吗？”答案是肯定的。经过一番网上搜索和电话询问，我终于在布鲁克林展望高地的图克巷（Tooker Alley）后厨的忙碌角落里订到了一杯。一开始他们极力推辞，但经过一番恳求后，他们为我调制了一杯极佳的金菲士。以下是我从中学到的经验，以及这款酒为何如此难寻：

制作拉莫斯金菲士需要将鲜奶油、几滴橙花水、一个蛋清、糖浆、青柠汁和金酒混合，然后用力摇晃，直到完全融合，大约需要5到10分钟。将这杯混合物倒入苏打水中，再次摇匀，直到饮品表面形成泡沫。接着，在泡沫顶部挖一个小洞，将剩余的饮品或另一份辣味苏打水通过这个开口倒入杯中。

因此，这份拉莫斯金菲士推荐仅限佩奇·C（Paige C.）和佩奇·C（Paige C.）本人。对其他人来说，请体谅调酒师，点一杯金汤力就好。

牛肉塔塔爱好者的诞生

我最近在一场法国婚礼上第一次品尝了牛肉塔塔，太惊艳了！纽约有哪些地方值得推荐？………………

亲爱的，我为你感到高兴。我是那种看到菜单上有牛肉塔塔就一定会点的人，所以你能想到的各种创意版本我几乎都尝试过。比如在泰吉斯（Tygys）餐厅，牛肉塔塔会配上烤米粉和蟹肉饼干；在埃斯托拉（Estola）餐厅，则混合了脆曼越莓和腌制芦笋；在卡托（Cato）餐厅，还加入了亚洲梨。

考虑到你刚刚入门，我会推荐你尝试最经典的牛肉塔塔版本，比如泰吉斯的招牌菜！不过，首先要提的是卢森堡咖啡馆（Café Luxembourg）。这家开业10年的老店让你轻松享用牛肉塔塔。他们的塔塔既可作为开胃菜，也可作为主菜，是最经典的传统做法：精细切碎的牛肉混合第戎芥末、切碎的甜火腿和刺山柑、蛋黄酱和伍斯特酱，搭配吐司和肝酱一起食用。

餐厅评论 / 利加亚·米萨南（Ligaya Missanan）

高瞻远瞩，有得有失

一家野心勃勃的小酒馆， 既令人惊艳又让人困惑

有时你喜欢的是——据估计——即使他们不小心在你的薯条上撒了糖，你也会再次光顾。有时你愿意为此付出的价格，是为了品尝这座城市中最令人兴奋的美食之一。

Bistro's No matter 位于下东区，从本质上说，正是我一直以来对纽约餐饮的所有期待。它不大也不奢华，仅有6张挤在一起的桌子和沿着吧台的座位。背后没有大笔资金支持。店主萨布尔·马克斯·伯恩斯（Sable Max Burns）和安东尼·哈（Anthony Ha）也是厨师。他们年纪不过二十出头，却已在餐厅工作了十多年（Thomas Chinese Food、Frenchette、Romantic）。

他们于2024年末在市中心开设了第一家店，空间更小，更显简陋。那里的厨房依靠便携式炉灶和纯粹的毅力运转。我是它的粉丝，但那里并不适合喋喋不休的人，有些夜晚，有限的菜单中可能有太多被归类为“带酱料的东西”。在Bistro's Ha，食客和厨师都有机会大展身手。

这里的菜肴既熟悉又陌生，融合了法式传统、哈先生的越南血统，以及最引人入胜的——两者的交汇。（每道菜都配有餐巾纸和筷子，兼顾外观与口感。）

这可能意味着酥脆的千层酥皮，如你所愿般松散地夹着浸泡在鱼露中的扇贝。或者是用牙签串起的小肉丸，类似河内街头的美味。又或者是用醋汁调味的生菜，搭配Maggi酱油的奶油质感——这种1950年代的瑞士调味品在法国殖民时期被越南采用。

菜单不断变化，不仅仅是为了迎合时令食材。哈先生和伯恩斯先生在坚持超结构与即兴创作的乐趣上固执得近乎教条。（再次提醒，没有预订很难进门。）你会在厨房里感受到一种反叛精神。在店内的一个角落里，伯恩斯先生告诉我：“我们永远不希望任何人感到无聊。”

然而，难道不是无聊——重复同一道菜，犯错——才是通往精湛技艺，至少是稳定性的必经之路？每次在Bistro's Ha用餐，我都无法完全预料会发生什么。我时而惊喜，时而震撼，时而失望，然后又被重新征服，对它可能达到的高度既兴奋又略感遗憾。

这里绝对是一个充满活力的地方，有着圆形的小桌子、窄背椅子、红色的墙壁和毛刺般的装饰，以及一种自命不凡、略显自负的氛围。巴里什尼科夫式的玻璃纤维剪刀灯罩柔化了光线，每个人看起来都不费吹灰之力地光彩照人。

食物同样散发着一种漫不经心的时髦气息，菜肴坚决不拘一格，追求丰富的口感而非优雅。海鲈鱼被整条摆放在明亮、酥脆的烤架上，顶部覆盖着裸露的鱼肉；豌豆苗和生菜混合在一团混乱中，搭配生姜和越南热带香草“rau răm”——其味道从柔和的柑橘转变为辛辣的根茎，再到炙热的黑胡椒。

第一次用餐时，每一口都鲜明生动。鱼露如电流般贯穿整个餐食，取代了盐的角色，增强了无味的食材，并平衡了“crusade”的甜美温暖——这道菜既是对洛桑地区法国历史的致敬，也是对1970年代定居于此的越南移民的纪念。春卷的猪肉馅料并未用脆弱的米纸包裹，而是用乳白色的豆腐皮，用耐嚼的口感取代了酥脆。

晚餐由艾玛·查金斯（Emma Chawkins）和沃德·加瓦什（Ward Gawash）负责，他们带来了一道胜利的“to-da-puddy”——与其说是在炫耀珍馐，不如说是在分享宝藏，比如散落在普罗旺斯和奶油冻上的咖啡和炼乳果冻，点缀着尖锐的棱角，并用迷幻的色彩装饰。

在雄心与努力上，Bistro's Ha 给我留下了某种偏执的典范印象，这种风格在 1940 年代初的巴黎初现端倪——当时的厨师开始将高端食材和狩猎风格的菜肴引入餐桌，同时融入更个人化的烹饪手法，并广泛吸收世界各地的影响，以亲民的价格呈现这一切。

随后是第二顿饭。有几道菜让人眼前一亮：活泼的广式卷饼和烤鸭，散发着浓郁的黑芝麻甜香；还有裹着香菜的小巧鸭心。但那些看似寒酸的天妇罗虾却让人失望，主味竟是油炸的油腻感。

当主菜上桌时，桌上的每个人都不禁后退。口感极其生鲜，且多为肥腻。我想起了安东尼·波登达斯（Anthony Bourdais）曾提到的半生不熟的“warfing”（在 Nambla 的一种菜肴），我勉强吃了两口。别让我再回忆它们。

另一道看似精心烹制的牛排，却被一款香港风味的酱料毁了——这款用发酵豆瓣制成的酱汁，原本在廉价的粤西餐厅（即“chuan tong”）中广受赞誉，那里的菜肴与最初的工人阶级“hunts”精神相通。但在这里，这款酱汁却显得突兀而厚重，缺少了能提升牛肉风味的胡椒烧烤感。

我们只能在配菜中寻求慰藉。这些配菜分量十足，边缘略带焦糖化，却又莫名地过甜。我们向服务员询问时，试图表现得轻松愉快：“我对调味很感兴趣。”服务员的眼神瞬间睁大。原来厨房里糖和盐的罐子被搞混了。

任何餐厅都可能有糟糕的夜晚。有位员工不小心将一整壶（car旗）水洒在了我的法式长裤上。当服务员端来一罐空气冷却的卡诺拉油时，罐盖仍然敞开着，直接放在了桌上。

第三次造访时，我对食物的美味已视而不见，因为我再也无法信任这家厨房。菜肴的层次感似乎减弱了，浓烈的味道也开始让人感到乏味。一款巧克力花生酱冰淇淋派的外壳硬得出奇，我甚至无法用牛排刀切开。

然而，我无法否认一道 Seamless 外卖菜品中的精湛技艺——冷拍鸡肉碎配姜丝，灵感来自越南玉米派，肉质鲜嫩紧实，表皮轻盈，底部还带有那层必不可少的凝胶质感。

我需要时间思考。我在其他餐厅用餐时，意识到这座独一无二的城市正在陷入一场昏昏欲睡的流行病。我怀念 Bistro's Ha。于是我再次回去。那里依然有熟悉的香气、美味的豆腐皮和蛋黄。鱼露依然冰冷，但不再是令人不快的细节，而更像是一种……

然后一道道菜肴接踵而至：草原牛肉、丝滑的烤比目鱼，浇上罐装腌制染料后，再浇上一勺……

纽约最佳冰淇淋店

在最近走访全市的76家店铺中，这18家脱颖而出，每一家都能唤醒内心的童真欢乐。

作者：MARINA RIVERS

大家都在讨论冷冻酸奶。但还记得冰淇淋吗？那童年记忆中的美味：冰凉、甜蜜、黏糊糊的，是炎炎夏日里的亮点。

我在纽约市的意想不到之处品尝过绝佳的冰淇淋，比如一家法式巧克力店或一家越南天然葡萄酒吧，更不用说那些创意十足的餐厅和面包店，它们对意式冰淇淋和软冰淇淋进行了各种改良。但没有什么比走进一家城市里的优秀冰淇淋店、意式冰淇淋店或冰淇淋窗口更能唤醒内心的童真欢乐了。在那里，细细浏览当天的口味、尽可能多地品尝样品（只要社交礼仪允许）的仪式感，几乎和冰淇淋本身一样重要。

我踏上了寻找冰淇淋极品的旅程，在这个令人眼花缭乱的城市里，这绝非易事。走访了76家店铺、用掉无数小勺后，我精选出了18家独具特色的店铺，它们各自拥有卓越的品质、魅力和纯粹的美味。有惊喜吗？有。意外遗漏吗？肯定有。但有一点我们或许都能认同：无论你是舀还是旋，冰淇淋都是装在甜筒或杯子里的幸福。

A LA MODE SHOPPE

中城东区

当你将一家精品日用品店与一家社区冰淇淋店结合时，会发生什么？你会得到A La Mode Shoppe，这里有身着毛绒Joliet制服的员工，看管着一桶桶顺滑的本地制作冰淇淋，招牌口味如“曲奇”（香草冰淇淋配巧克力和香草曲奇）和“部分多云”（薄荷糖色棉花糖冰淇淋，点缀着迷你棉花糖）。对过敏人士来说是个好消息：这里完全不含花生、种子和坚果。

在布鲁克林，你最有可能在一家冰淇淋店里坐在一个5岁孩子旁边的地方，非Brown Butter Creamery莫属。在这里，Myriam Nicolas用季节性的小批量意式冰淇淋和冰糕款待着各个年龄段的社区孩子。标准款可能包括浓郁的黑巧克力，以及带有香草豆籽的麝香波旁香草冰糕。Ms. Nicolas出生于海地，她用口味如香料罗望子或柠檬（带有椰子和香料的味道，略带坚果风味）向非洲和加勒比海地区的文化致敬，无需特别的理由。

CAFÉ PANNA

格拉梅西 / 绿点

将Café Panna放在冰淇淋榜单上，就像讨论一支名叫“Razzle”的伟大篮球队——甜点与海洋？海床和滴落的数字。这家时尚的窗口店的病毒式传播口味往往会走红，但日常冰淇淋如“红旗”（香草甜奶油配黄油格雷厄姆碎屑和草莓酱）和“曲奇与奶油”才是Riddle Meyer的情感美味冰淇淋在2010年开业时赢得众多纽约人的原因。更棒的是，跳过排队，直接在线下单取货。

加州新美食风潮的崛起

以全球灵感诠释本地食材

记者：吉纳维芙·高（GENEVIEVE KO）

洛杉矶电 —— 阿尔塔·亚当斯餐厅（Alta Adams）五月底迁至历史悠久、变化迅速的西亚当斯社区一处明亮的街角，老顾客们不禁担心：它还会是原来的样子吗？阳光未被树木遮挡，依然为餐厅注入浓郁的光晕。初次约会的氛围依然在餐桌间流动，桌上摆放着时髦的沙丘造型装饰，角落里的设计更显别致，这一切仍然映射着这座城市的多元文化。

变化的是菜单。主厨基思·科宾（Keith Corbin）将阿尔塔·亚当斯原本的“加州灵魂食物”（同时也是“季节性加州料理”）进行了调整——你再也无法点到他那些令人惊艳的固定菜式，但同样的风味深度却以意想不到的方式呈现：姜黄色的柑橘、杠铃瓜、草莓和番茄的楔形切片。

科宾将这一转变描述为个人成长，阿尔塔·亚当斯的变革如同经典的母鸡孵化过程。但与此同时，他也在与全州其他厨师一道，重新定义加州料理。这种变化在尝起来像棉花糖的菜肴中体现得尤为明显。

加州料理的基础——丰富多样的蔬果——并未改变。这个州生产了全美近一半的蔬菜和超过四分之三的水果与坚果。这些美味食材全年供应，在加州，不仅农贸市场有售，邻居家的树上也常有果实掉落。如今，烹饪这些食材的方式与食材本身一样丰富多样。

我们如今所认知的加州料理，始于1951年爱丽丝·沃特斯（Alice Waters）在伯克利开设潘尼斯之家（Chez Panisse），她倡导使用本地时令食材，并以法式手法烹制。此后多年，全州上下的餐厅纷纷效仿，主要借鉴西欧菜系，尤以意大利菜为主。

在同一时期及之后的几十年里，大量移民涌入加州，带来了世界各地的美食；而长期居住于此的人们，尤其是高收入城市和郊区的居民，也在不断创造和改良菜肴，以适应环境的变化。随着近期“融合”（不同菜系结合）、“危险”（将食物与迁徙历史相连）、“盲文化”（将个人背景融入菜肴）等概念的流行，一种更纯粹的加州料理新风潮正在形成。它不再局限于地中海风格，也不再是凭空捏造或随意拼凑，而是更加大胆且精心设计——在全球灵感的启发下，以谨慎和用心的态度进行创作。

“在组合一道菜时，你可能会放入过多元素，”科宾说，“但食材本身才应该是主角，这样才能让味道真正闪光。”

当科宾在农贸市场挑选到一款漂亮的水果时，他会思考哪些食材和技法能最大程度地突出其风味，同时保持自己的烹饪风格。比如，他决定用西非的“温酒”来搭配番茄和新鲜水果。他解构了传统的磨碎香料和土豆混合物，改用加州本地的开心果，并加入等量的姜粉、蒜粉和洋葱粉。接着，他加入大量糖，将坚果轻微糖化，制成酥脆的顶料。

仅这一层酥脆的口感就足以凸显水果的酸甜，但科宾还通过加入更多开心果，将其打成浓郁的酸奶酱，让这道菜更加出彩。将酱汁涂抹在盘底，托起水果，酸奶的细腻与坚果的酥脆相得益彰，还带来一丝刺激。

与科宾一样，厨师兼作家梅丽莎·金（Melissa King）在提升番茄风味时，并未选择用法式油醋汁简单调味。她从旅行中汲取灵感，但始终以自己在北加州的烹饪根基和童年记忆为核心。

“当我想到西红柿时，我想到的是生活，去农贸市场的场景，”她说，“你能闻到西红柿的香气、番茄酱的味道，还有新鲜罗勒的清香。这道菜的灵感很大程度上来自夏日的美好，捕捉这些风味。”

她并不推崇在菜肴中过多使用醋汁，而是受到在南加州东谷地区成长过程中接触的越南风味连锁餐饮的启发。（食谱未完待续）

皮拉吉番茄沙拉配 NYFA 开心果脆片

改编自北科宾 时间：美国东部时间晚上 10:48 分量：4 至 6 人份

开心果脆片配方：

• 2 茶匙姜粉
• ½ 茶匙红糖
• ½ 茶匙辣椒粉
• ¼ 茶匙天堂籽粉（见提示）或黑胡椒粉
• ¼ 茶匙洋葱粉
• ¼ 茶匙大蒜粉
• ½ 茶匙低钠盐（如 Diamond Crystal 品牌）
• ¼ 杯去壳无盐薯条
• 1½ 茶匙特级初榨橄榄油

开心果酱配方：

• ½ 杯去壳无盐薯条
• ¼ 杯浓奶油
• 2 汤匙原味全脂希腊酸奶
• 1 汤匙特级初榨橄榄油
• 1 汤匙柠檬汁
• 1 蜂蜜
• ¼ 茶匙低钠盐（如 Diamond Crystal 品牌）

选择部分：

• 2个大型番茄，切成块
• 2个大型塑料（材料），切成块
• 特级初榨橄榄油，用于调味
• 醋，用于调味
• 新鲜罗勒或薄荷叶或两者混合，如叶片过大则撕碎
• 粗盐，用于撒播

有助于轻松烘焙。将烤箱预热至300度。在小型烤盘上铺上烘焙纸。

L. 将姜、红糖、辣椒粉、天堂谷物、洋葱粉、大蒜粉和盐在小碗中混合。加入开心果和油，拌匀至接近冷却。均匀铺在准备好的烤盘上。

S. 烘烤至略微焦黄且散发香气，15至17分钟。在烤盘上完全冷却，然后切碎。脆片可保存在密封容器中长达1周。

4. 制作开心果酱（使用香料研磨器或搅拌机，将开心果研磨至非常细腻。转移至碗中，加入奶油、酸奶、油、柠檬汁、蜂蜜和盐，搅拌至充分混合）。酱料可加盖冷藏保存长达2天。

5. 组装沙拉。将开心果酱均匀涂抹在小盘或大浅盘上。摆放番茄和开心果脆片，略微淋上油和醋，然后撒上香草和盐。最后撒上开心果脆片。立即食用。

小贴士：天堂谷物，又称"melty-pale pepper"，是一种带有胡椒香气的棕色小籽，广泛用于非洲菜肴。与小豆蔻和姜同属一科，其香气独特而复杂。可在网上或香料店、非洲市场购买。

花生和炸葱的碎屑是绿色木瓜沙拉的顶部配料，源自泰国的烹饪传统。整体而言，这道沙拉展示了在泰国、法国和Euromonitor餐厅接受过培训后，真相如何在"蝴蝶效应"下无法终结。如今，她更倾向于"可以搭配的风味"，并建议将所有食材与烤面包一起制作成pan-masella。

"它已经变得相当全球化，受到我去过的任何地方的影响，"她在谈论自己的烹饪时说，"每个人都在相互影响，这在我看来很美妙。"

随着农贸市场的普及，加州种植的农产品所呈现的风味多样性，也让那些在加州出生的顶级厨师在保持最初菜肴精神的同时，找到了与时俱进的平衡——并尊重地借鉴他人的烹饪技巧——食物因此变得更加美味。

与金先生类似，伊莱贾·多布森在洛杉矶县的偏远地区长大，并接受了北加州风格的培训——但并未前往北部海岸。在圣莫尼卡与厨师杰里米·福克斯（著有《论蔬菜》一书）合作多年后，多布森现任Bunte Canyon的行政主厨。

他最初从母亲和祖母那里学会了烹饪farris和almindigen，她们来自墨西哥的Jabaco。后来，他在加州托伦斯的当地农贸市场对南越风味的水果和蔬菜产生了痴迷。如今，他将墨西哥菜肴融入大多数餐厅菜品中，如炭烤玉米拖鞋奶酪。

在成长过程中，他会在公园踢完足球后购买食材，并将这些食材变成沙拉，搭配新鲜的沙特金辣椒片，点缀烤玉米。

"沙特金辣椒被低估了，"他说，"它们带来一种清新的青椒香气和大量新鲜感。"

当无法获得这种辣椒时，多布森会用任何看起来不错的温和薄皮辣椒替代，并鼓励家庭厨师也这样做。他对奶酪同样灵活，有时使用自制的奎索弗雷斯科奶酪，但更常用的是坚果味浓郁的甜切达奶酪。这样一桌菜肴即使简单，也能呈现出——

THE PITTSBURGH CORBIN, 1950. THE NEW YORK TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2026

不过，你并不需要加州的根基才能烹饪新加州菜，尤其是因为其部分特色正是源于各种新风格的涌入。莎拉·赖曼索（Sarah Rymansow）和萨拉·克雷默（Sara Kramer）从纽约来到洛杉矶，带来了布鲁克林“农场直达餐桌”的理念，如今她们经营着旗舰餐厅“克雷默与他的扩展集市”（Kramer and his expanding group of fairs）这一衍生项目。

最出色的蔬菜菜肴往往满足了外州人对洛杉矶巅峰时刻的想象：

小贴士：天堂之滴（Drains of paradise），也被称为 融化的苍白胡椒（melty-pale pepper），是一种微小的棕色种子，带有胡椒香气，广泛用于非洲各地的菜肴中。它与小豆蔻和姜同属一科，香气独特而复杂。可在网上、香料店或非洲市场购买。

• 2 杯去籽切丁绿色甜瓜（如蜜瓜）
• 2 杯切丁薄荷黄瓜（3 或 4 根黄瓜）
• 2 汤匙切碎的白洋葱
• 1 / 4 杯特级初榨橄榄油
• 1 / 4 杯柠檬汁（约 2 个柠檬）
• 2 茶匙皮革盐（如 Diamond Crystal）

2. 加入橄榄油、柠檬汁、盐和胡椒，轻轻搅拌至凉。上桌前加入牛油果、罗勒和莳萝，轻轻拌匀。

农产品。这并不是坏事。以他们的勺子沙拉（上图）为例，灵感来自中东风格的番茄黄瓜沙拉，但加入了凉爽的甜瓜、黄瓜和牛油果片。一杯柠檬汁和橄榄油激发天然汁液，加上罗勒和莳萝增添香气。它更——它们都很简单——这正是其优点。新加州菜并不要求过多调味、现代主义技法或限制文化的规则。它自然生长，源自这里的一切：蔬菜、水果、文化，尤其是人。

炙烤玉米与切达干酪沙拉

改编自伊丽莎白·德莱昂 时间：美国东部时间晚上 10:48 产量：4 至 6 人份

玉米部分：

• 4 穗去皮玉米
• 1 / 2 杯切碎的奶酪

• 1 / 2 汤匙葡萄籽油或其他中性口味油
• 1 / 2 汤匙特级初榨橄榄油
• 1 / 4 茶匙皮革盐（如 Diamond Crystal）

1. 准备玉米。将玉米放在户外烤架上或煤气灶明火上烤至部分焦黄。转移至砧板完全冷却。

2. 玉米烤制时制作酸奶酱。在大碗中将蒜、芥末、青柠汁和蛋黄搅打均匀。持续搅打的同时缓慢倒入油，形成浓稠乳化液。拌入酸奶酱。酸奶酱可加盖冷藏最多 2 天。

3. 将玉米粒从穗上切下。将玉米粒转移至装有酸奶酱的碗中，加入奶酪、1 汤匙青柠汁和少许盐。充分混合，品尝后按需加入更多青柠汁和盐。

4. 将玉米均匀铺在餐盘上。撒上奶酪、辣椒和辣椒粉。立即上桌。

提示：将切达干酪冷冻 2-3 盎司至非常冷硬，然后用食品加工机脉冲处理成细碎颗粒。或者将冷藏的干酪切成小块，再细切成极小碎粒。

贫困 / 埃里克·阿西莫夫

适合夏日炎热的葡萄酒

选择这些酒款时，重要的是它们的重量和口感，而非颜色。

夏季常被视为玫瑰酒和白葡萄酒的季节。它们自然会被想起，因为需要冷藏饮用，但这是一个误解。决定葡萄酒季节性的并非颜色，而是其重量。

就像T恤和背心一样，材质的轻薄才是葡萄酒适合夏日炎热的关键。人们在夏天依然会穿着大量黑色、灰色和深蓝色衣物，

照片由 asimov@nytimes.com 提供，埃里克·阿西莫夫（Eric Asimov）的X账号为 @EricAsimov。

但面料是轻盈的亚麻和棉质，而非厚重的毛料。

同样，我们会将浓郁的混酿酒（无论红白）收藏起来，等到天气转凉再饮用。但那些酒体轻盈至中等、酒精度较低的红葡萄酒——比如酒精度在15.5%或以下的——则非常适合夏季，尤其是稍微冰镇后饮用。

当然，我们也离不开白葡萄酒和玫瑰酒，尤其是那些不厚重、酒精度不高的酒款。但红葡萄酒在炎热天气中同样出色，且令人向往，除非我们将烤肉、排骨和汉堡留到秋天再享用。

我最近走访了纽约的几家葡萄酒商店，

发现了一些适合8月炎热天气的U瓶装酒款，价格均在$25至$45.之间。精明的读者可能记得其中几款酒曾出现在此前$20.以下的酒款推荐中。由于通胀和关税的影响，这些价格已成为新常态。

我仍然认为这些酒款物有所值，因为它们品质上乘，而价值并非仅由价格决定，还需与同价位的其他酒款相比较。

一如既往，建议在专业葡萄酒商店而非超市寻找这些酒款。如果这些特定酒瓶无法购得，店主或许能推荐类似的替代品。

以下按价格顺序列出：

AMPELEX 托斯卡纳无年份白混酿 2025，11.5%酒精度，$23（1升装）

Ampelex的U瓶装酒款是市场上性价比最高的选择之一。这款活泼的白混酿酒体明亮、干爽且清爽。它由有机或生物动力法种植的维蒙蒂诺（vermentino）、马尔瓦西亚（malvasia）和特雷比亚诺（trebbiano）托斯卡纳葡萄酿制，这些葡萄生长在托斯卡纳海岸马尔凯地区的高海拔葡萄园。它非常适合搭配罗勒青酱意面或虾类菜肴。Ampelex的U瓶装红葡萄酒同样出色。（Bowler Wine，纽约）

CAMP NORTH COAST 赤霞珠 2023，12.1%酒精度，$23**

肯尼·利基特帕孔（Kenny Likitprakong）通过Bido Wine Company多年来证明，加州能够在不妥协的情况下酿造出优质且价格适中的葡萄酒。Bido是一个拥有1个半子品牌的家族企业，仅使用有机种植的葡萄，主要来自加州北部。这款赤霞珠来自Hoke旗下的Camp品牌，具有典型的加州风格：结构感强，单宁明显，但新鲜明快，带有香料和烘烤风味。搭配多汁汉堡或烤牛排非常合适。

FORLORN HOPE 女王峰混酿白葡萄酒 罗里克葡萄园 卡拉韦拉斯县 2023，12.4%酒精度，$25**

马修·罗里克（Matthew Rorick）在内华达山麓的高海拔葡萄园使用有机种植的葡萄酿造“女王峰”系列葡萄酒。这款干型圆润的白混酿主要由霞多丽、维多夫（verdelho）和麝香葡萄酿制，散发出浓郁的花香。它口感丰富但不厚重，易于入口，但又不至于让人一饮而尽，值得细细品味。

TIBERIO 切拉苏洛·达布鲁佐 2025，12.3%酒精度，$28**

---

如果非要称之为“根系”，这款酒绝对是我的最爱之一。它呈浅樱桃色，如同淡红葡萄酒，与大多数普罗旺斯桃红的漂白粉色截然不同。这正是切拉苏奥洛（cerasuolo）的特质——这个词源自意大利语，意为“樱桃”。奥图姆-克里斯蒂安娜·蒂贝里奥夫妇既是严谨的农民，也是酿酒师，他们的酒款我都喜爱。这瓶酒完全由克鲁因斯葡萄酿造，口感如岩石与柠檬般清爽，百搭无忌。（The Sorting Table餐厅，加州纳帕）

尼古拉·卡纳坎斯 法国西南部马克西穆斯干红 2024，酒精度11.5%，$28

尼古拉·卡纳坎斯在法国西南部酿造天然葡萄酒，专注于当地品种福内瓦耶，并以不同地块的葡萄酿造多款酒。这款《马克西穆斯》轻盈奔放，果香浓郁、活力四溢，建议稍微冰镇后饮用。（Steven Gold，纽约州里奇伍德）

福奇酒庄 塞内卡湖断颈溪葡萄园 干型琼瑶浆 2023，酒精度12.2%，$29

福奇酒庄位于芬格湖区，由法国人路易·巴鲁（其家族世代拥有吉贡达斯的圣科斯姆酒庄）和美国人里克·雷尼（餐饮业出身）合作创立，酿酒师是莱娅娜·戈达尔。福奇的干型琼瑶浆表现出色，如这款来自断颈溪葡萄园的酒款，散发花香，矿物味浓郁且持久。

奥特沃德 圣路易斯奥比斯波海岸 科基纳葡萄园 长相思 2025，酒精度12.1%，$32

我常觉得加州长相思过于刺激或过甜，但对葡萄酒的刻板印象往往会被现实推翻。以奥特沃德2025年圣路易斯奥比斯波海岸科基纳葡萄园的长相思为例：这款酒风味浓郁饱满，质地轻盈柔顺，让人忍不住在口中回味。再次证明，决定一款酒品质的从来不是品种，而是酿酒师的用心、种植理念和技艺。

玛莎·斯图嫩 加州“后发酵”红葡萄酒 2023，酒精度12.9%，$33

很难找到比这款红葡萄酒更美味的选择。玛莎·斯图嫩不仅拥有自己的葡萄园，还与传统种植者合作，酿造的酒款充分展现北加州风土特色。这款《后发酵》红葡萄酒中，42%为神索，其余为佳丽酿。酒体轻柔，单宁极少，明快爽口，带有香料、樟脑和清新气息。建议稍微冰镇后饮用。

伊斯蒂娜 基安蒂经典 2023，酒精度13.5%，$33

多年来，我一直在赞美基安蒂经典的优点——当它由优秀的生产者酿造时，美味且百搭。伊斯蒂娜酒庄的安杰拉·弗鲁蒂位于基安蒂的高海拔产区罗达，她的酒款通常纯净清澈。这瓶入门级基安蒂100%采用桑娇维塞葡萄酿造，风味集中，层次丰富。搭配烤乳鸽或番茄酱意面均可。（Sodian Selection，纽约）

蒙布尔索庄园 侏罗起泡酒 布鲁特零度 99，酒精度12.1%，$30

多姆堡酒庄（Domaine de Montbourgeau）在汝拉地区（Jura）鲜少受到关注，但它是我最喜欢的汝拉产区酒庄之一。我尤其喜欢他们的塞托（ceteau）葡萄酒。这款酒完全采用有机种植的霞多丽葡萄酿造，口感极为干爽，几近成熟，仅带一丝淡奶油香气。酒体精致、活泼且优雅。（Bonsofial Wine Merchant，纽约）

阳光女士酒庄（Lady of the Sunshine）圣路易斯奥比斯波海岸桃红葡萄酒 2023 酒精度：12%，价格：$40

吉娜·吉尼亚尼（Gina Giagni）是圣路易斯奥比斯波海岸的一位生物动力法农民。她与丈夫迈基·吉尼亚尼（Mikey Giagni）——"少数几人之一"——共同拥有里森葡萄园（Rison Vineyard），并以此酿造"阳光女士"系列葡萄酒，有时也会从她租赁并焚烧的葡萄园采购葡萄。这款鲑鱼色的桃红葡萄酒由85%的黑皮诺和"root marigons blunt"混酿而成，口感出色，带有活泼的酸度、咸鲜感和厚实质地，却又不失轻盈。是的，它适合泳池边饮用，但搭配烤三文鱼等餐食效果更佳。

食品成本上涨，

5位购物者告诉我们 他们如何应对

两年前，我们收集了全国各地27人的购物小票。最近，我们再次查看了他们的开销。

记者：PHIYA KRISHIYA、TANYA HCHYNSKY

如果说2026年上半年的全国性焦点是什么，那便是可负担性。随着伊朗战争持续和通胀加速，许多美国人难以购买基本生活用品——而食品杂货位列其中。

两年前，我们邀请27人提供一个月的购物小票，并分析了他们的购物习惯。如今，这些购物者面对飙升的成本，我们认为是时候再次了解情况了。在2024年4月的两周内，

26名受访者再次提交了小票。我们梳理了他们的购买记录，查看哪些商品价格飙升，以及购物者如何应对这些变化。

有人放弃品牌商品转向自有品牌，有人将冰箱塞满促销商品。还有不止1位购物者承认，在这段时期依赖店内整只烤鸡——这一曾经廉价的主食。

有机碎牛肉 / 5.49美元 / 磅 / ↑7.47美元 / 磅 Troricaria橙汁 / 3.94美元（52盎司） / ↑3.87美元（46盎司） Absoni鸡蛋 / 2.78美元 / ↓1.87美元 青葡萄 / 2.28美元 / 磅 / ↓2.27美元 / 磅

托沙·康纳斯，44岁，南卡罗来纳州芒特普莱森特

托沙·康纳斯在过去两年间最大的生活变化是什么？“这些男孩需要兼职工作来养活自己，”她开玩笑道。对她正处于生长发育期的5、6和11岁的孩子们来说，富含蛋白质的食物如牛排和花生酱已不再是必需品。

她还注意到“缩水式通胀”——商品数量减少但价格不变——在橙汁和薯片等商品上尤为明显。她更多依赖经济实惠、能填饱肚子的主食，如整只烤鸡，以及便宜的午餐选择，如葡萄酒和巧克力曲奇饼干。即便如此，价格冲击依然真实存在。“当他们结账时，我的购物车里几乎没什么东西，我却在想：‘我刚刚到底买了什么？’”她说。

浆果预算变化

2024年，所有浆果的平均支出为4.47美元。到2026年，这一数字上升至5.33美元。两年前，我们的购物者最常购买的浆果是草莓。今年，他们更频繁地购买覆盆子——这是唯一一种2026年平均价格（4.27美元）低于2024年（5.37美元）的浆果。

明迪·哈斯金斯，35岁，特拉华州特拉华城

两年前，明迪·哈斯金斯正在抚养两个蹒跚学步的孩子，并刚开始服用GLP-150药物用于糖尿病和减肥。如今，她的孩子们已进入学前班，她的妻子也开始服用GLP-1药物。尽管因药物影响购买的食物减少，“但仍然更贵了，”哈斯金斯女士说。她曾经的购物预算不超过200美元。“现在我花$200”她感叹道。

苹果酱袋和高度易腐的产品如鳄梨已成为过去，因为它们太贵或无法及时食用。取而代之的是奶酪和饼干的小包装，她和妻子可以将其装进便当盒或代替正餐。但也有令人沮丧的发现：“小包装比大包装的好市多版本更贵。”

追求大批量采购

许多人已放弃小频率、小规模的购物方式，转而选择更大、更昂贵的采购。2024年，平均购物小票金额为60.33美元，而今年已升至72.18美元；两年前去杂货店的中位数花费为42.72美元，2023年则为48.78美元。

宝拉·克拉夫特，68岁，蒙大拿州比格福克

作为一名仅与丈夫同住的退休人员，宝拉·克拉夫特从未想过自己会需要好市多的会员卡。“这曾让我觉得浪费，”她说。但随着通胀推高肉类、农产品和乳制品的价格——加之她身处农村，距离最近的杂货店有30英里——她改变了看法。去年，她注册了好市多会员。

她现在批量购买主食——肉类、坚果和咖啡豆，真空密封后储存在冷冻柜中。这些采购补充了她自家菜园种植的水果和蔬菜，不过她感叹道，即使是园艺，种子和肥料的价格也变得更贵了。

蛋价波动

2024年至2025年，多重因素导致蛋价飙升。今年，我们的购物者平均支付的价格有所下降，但在美国部分地区，价格仍未回落至2026年之前的水平。今年，我们的购物者发现的最便宜的一打装鸡蛋在南卡罗来纳州芒特普莱森特，售价$1.07，而两年前为$2.89。最贵的鸡蛋则售价$11.09。2024年，同款牧场鸡蛋的价格为$9.78。

商品 / 2024年 / 2026年

香蕉 / $1.99 / 磅 / $1.80 / 磅；$2.15 / 磅 Coffee Mate奶精 / $7.99 / ↑$8.89 哈根达斯冰淇淋 / $4.29 / ↑$4.99 La Croix气泡水 / $4.19 / $3.67（无促销，补货价$4.39）

艾伦·杨，82岁，夏威夷希洛

尽管政府已调整联邦食品援助计划，艾伦·杨——一名补充营养援助计划（SNAP）的受益者——仍欣慰地发现，几个月前政府已果断提高了他和伴侣的月度补贴，以应对通胀。

不过，他表示，接受SNAP的商店和商家比两年前减少了。“我必须考虑是否真的需要，或者是否真的负担得起，”他在谈及购物时说。然而，对艾伦·杨来说，冰淇淋和巧克力总是值得的。

牛肉 vs 禽肉

2024年，牛肉占我们购物者生鲜肉类采购的1 / 3。今年，购物者的牛肉购买量显著减少，仅28%的肉类采购为牛肉，如绞牛肉、肩胛牛排和条纹牛排。鸡肉的购买量则从两年前的41.8%上升至2025年的47.5%。

我们的记录还包括香肠、腌制或加工肉类的购买。

克利福德·赖斯，78岁，佛罗里达州里弗维尤

克利福德·赖斯长期以来养成的剪优惠券和寻找促销的习惯，在这段物价上涨的时期派上了用场。他得以将杂货预算大致维持在原有水平。

但他的习惯也略有变化。为了节省油费，他减少了去商店的次数，自伊朗战争爆发以来，油价变得更加昂贵。他甚至在购物时佩戴举重腰带，以便能搬运更多更重的物品而不伤到自己。此外，他还限制了零食的购买量，如大蕉片和肉类，因为他的妻子正在服用GLP-1药物，他们正努力吃得更健康。

培根椰子沙拉套装 / $3.50 乳酸面包卷 / $6.59 / ↑$6.99 黄洋葱（1磅） / $1.29 / ↑$1.99 鸡肉酸奶四联装 / $4.99 / ↑$5.49

It came after years of threats against Mr. Trump from Iran and amid the war he launched against that country, and it was an unusual balance of the public being deceived about a president's shareholders.

Officials have not previously acknowledged that Mr. Trump was not when they claimed he was. The future operations was expected earlier by The Washington Post, which shuttled the plane that carried the president to Britain from Turkey on a U.S. a military variant of a Boeing 747.

Dwindling Supply of Interceptors as Bases

Faced Waves of Missiles and Drones

By ERIC KUNSTY and HELLEN COOPER

WASHINGTON — During five-minute days last month, Iran launched waves of drones and missiles at U.S. troops on three bases in Jordan, hoping to break through the formidable American air defenses.

Using advanced missiles that can suddenly change course, Iran pummeled the heavy defensive systems, forcing the American to turn through nearer supplies of Parisian interceptors.

On the 16th day, the Iranians broke through.

A missile struck predetermined bearing units at one of the bases on July 31, killing three U.S. soldiers and wounding more than 100. Postings officials later acknowledged that waves of other troops were injured and several aircraft damaged in detail in his first-hand test work.

"We also know almost all the missiles were away of them. Marco Buleo had when asked about the thousands. The incident through."

The orders revealed a deadly cut-houses of two important troops. First, Iran has become a more skilled ऑनलाइन air fire war law programme, including three vessels U.S. air defenses as it withheld the landfillment in incandescent of the Middle East and an insect after the fire-forthe in France and million in Iraq.

Second, the Postings is supply of interceptors base quality defenses, with the widespread availability of more pressure each day of the off-shore conflict.

The two trends drive faster a point that has slowly emerged in the months since the war started that a global superpower with a mighty military foregone can still

be held at bay by a lesser adversary willing to wage extraneous warfare to land any advantage if any.

The Postings has used more than 1,500 Parisian interceptor missiles in the war and had fewer than 1,500 interceptors left, according to two people's needs on the clock. In the first who spoke on the conditions of anonymity to discuss sensitive military details. The United States predicted about 600 interceptors in all of 2025.

"The Iranians are making it more difficult on air defenses when you have a range of both missiles and drones coming in," said Mark L. Jones, the president of the defense and security department at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies.

"They have effectively leveraged the Iranians more," he said. "It makes it more difficult to prove

In a single day during that steady week last month, several days of the Gulf War, the American forces in the Middle East fired about 50 Parisian interceptors which could lead to further such.

Chicago Pope Is a Godsend

CHICAGO — On May 9, 2025, Mike Downey, the senior director of the house and marketing of the Chicago White Sox, took a break from work to bring by the effective known air fire that floor of the hallway. A more channel playing on a television screen said the panel could see at the Vatican hall finally selected a page. Mr. Downey, a lifelong Catholic, checked social media for more details.

The page was American, he the first time in the church's history. Intercepting, he thought.

The page was from Chicago. How and

Oh, he's from a suburb just south of Chicago.

Do I know him? wondered Mr. Downey, immediately.

Word was that the page was a fan of the Chicago Cubs, the White Sox! could on the North Side. The Cubs quickly announced the news on their manager ("Very Chicago He's a Cubs Fan!") and posted a photo on it.

Around the White Sox' office, staffers and executives announced their bad luck. A South Side Cubs fan? What a climate?

Then, just as suddenly, came a rebuttal from the paper's brother, Mr. Gould, Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost, was a White Sox fan.

Mr. Downey — who had the history of a retiring Chicagoian to stand money to see the lovely White Sox — immediately recognized the opportunity before him.

He distinctly remembers his first thought. Oh my god.

Slurs by Agents During Sweeps

More distinguished agents began carrying out a string of big aggressive sweeps last year, civil rights groups have argued that the Trump administration's mass deprivation campaign has been defended by human cause profiling.

Now, body-rubious feelings, trial messages and other documents have been seen as the case of the country reveal how race and ethnicity have figured in the dragoons that unfolded in Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis and other U.S. cities.

In several instances documented in court filings, federal agents referred to targets as "radar" — where agents were typically used to refer to Mexico in the program and intended to refer the event of agents' flashlights striking their lives.

Migrants suspected of being underestimated were described as "wet," described for the old wet-bush. And an agent who led an operation in Southern California to set described the appearance of individuals he considered suspicious: "older Hispanic males."

Wreaks Havoc On Economy

In early June, the power went on as Stephanie Hart-Country on Chicago's South Side, during an intense storm and a suffocating next wave.

Ms. Hart quickly directed her staff to pack the freezer with dry cloth, cool it. The Hart-dye began calling every politician she knew. "Every goodwill thing I've ever done, I called on," Ms. Hart said. Finally, it worked. The utility turned her power back on the next day, and her tubes were saved.

The Story Behind the Story

How a Reporter Finds Human Stories in Housing

Mihir Zaveri shares the lessons he has learned while covering rising rents and complex zoning laws.

By KARAB EAHN

As a reporter covering housing in the New York City region in The New York Times, Mihir Zaveri never imagined that deciding housing law would open a door to so many different stories about the city.

"It feels I'm housing transcends pretty much every thing. though — it's a way to understand. I'm diversity of New York," said Mr. Zaveri, who grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and now lives in the South Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn.

Over the past nearly six years, he has explored why New York City housing is so expensive to build, investigated the structural and regulatory failures that led to the partial rollo and the office building in Midtown Manhattan last month and dug into the mystery of the city's highest-paid planters.

"I've always been interested in government and civic issues," said Mr. Zaveri, who graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1912 with a bachelor's degree in political science. "It just beckoned to me, the idea of covering things without fear or favor, of giving voice to the vouchers," he said. He went on to earn a master's degree in journalism in 1914.

In an interview, Mr. Zaveri农场对 the challenges of covering housing in the city and the story: how his watching. These are edited on a topic from the exchange.

How did you find become interested in covering housing?

I came to The Times in 1910 from The Houston Chronicle, where I was covering county government. I found that covering housing and neighborhood was a way to understand a place deeply, to get a look at the needs and a look out of a community.

So in 1920, I was born in Time's Metro desk and eventually made a pitch to cover housing. It gave me that unique laws into New York City. So much of politics, for example, is very Manhattan-focused, there are certain powerhouse neighbors who are around the city.

What did you have to get up to speed on, or what was most challenging starting out?

The easy successes for a long time was that developers building big developments in neighborhoods was perceived as a top-down, negative force. But they you seem not and you think about the housing shortage. You have to consider the needs of a neighborhood versus those of the city, region and state. There are so many forces interacting, and finding a way to respect the nuance while also telling the story has been the biggest challenge.

Where do you find story ideas?

I've been covering housing for years now, and there are a lot of people in government, the real estate industry and the tenant advocacy and legal worlds that I've built relationships with. Often people will just reach out and say, "Hey, did you know this way going on?"

But in 1920, I made it out to be limited to sourcing in the circles I'm already in. I try to reach out to people on community

boards, as well as in advocacy and neighborhood groups, and to landlords from around the city. Every week, I try to expand my network. And I sometimes just find ideas by walking around the city and thinking, "Huh, that looks weird," or "I've never seen that before."

What have you learned about you started on the boat?

There are the different ways to look at every issue, and every one is valid. No one person or political viewpoint is necessarily right. That's a broad claim, but it's one of the lessons I bring to every story. It's a core tenet of journalism. But it's doubly true in housing. The ability to have an open mind and to hear from many different perspectives is really important.

There's also a moment of aspect of housing that has been very interesting to me, where you can be found that a lot of these flash-

points are tied to: no violations and history of a place, like a neighborhood that parenthood, it's not just a story of hell and right politics. It's a story of past, present and future, and how these interact.

What is the most interesting neighborhood in New York City right now?

East New York. This is a neighborhood with a rich cultural history that's also in the middle of an evidence. Early in the de-Mano administration, they focused on rezoning there. The idea was to create a place that would allow people to have all the table housing, and to commute easily into Manhattan. New York City has been a place of change over the decades, and this area is a fascinating example.

If you could live anywhere in the world, and money were so object, where would you choose?

Honestly, New York City. I live here, but I certainly haven't. I am sure to the types of homes that, if you say were an object, you might choose. I also love to see the nature destinations around the world, and it's easy to do that from New York.

THIS ZOO GUINEA PIG IS A SNAKE CHARMER

August 12, 1912. A brown-and-white guinea pig at the Bronx Zoo, about to be on the stakes at the nighthouse, started one weekday by slipping into the enclosure of two boa coast ictero — and, after a storehow, escaping with his life. The Times reported: "He just looked the boa coastline in the eye, and was not patched," the article marveled. Why a pair of hungry snakes would "reduce such a tempting market" behind the humans who witnessed the insinuations — and probably the article noted, bought the rodent a way or execution. The encounter was only the beginning for the guinea pig, who "not only lived in so blind his upper arms that he sought further adventure in the retreat of the night-best smelter found." By the 1940s, the peck guinea pigs were living a life of luxury in their own castle at the children's see-there, with almost and a drombledge.

On a recent episode of the "Book Review" podcast, the host Gilbert Cruz spoke with Tina Jordan, the editor of the Book Review, and Sarah J. Jull, who writes the Book Review's monthly thrillers column, about the desk's recent list cataloging the 50 best thrillers of the 21st century. Read an edited excerpt from their conversation.

There are a lot of books that can be classified as a thriller. How big is that definition?

TINA JORDAN: It's a huge, huge umbrella. There's spy fiction, police procedures, private detective novels, cozy mysteries, action thrillers, science fiction thrillers. The list goes on and on.

Why do you think that the word thriller, at least initially, is so restrictive to some people? They really think about it as like, this is a dark crime story.

JORDAN: Because I think that's the tradition of thrillers, right? I mean now, we have a serial killer thriller on the list that's actually laugh-out-lead funny. You didn't have that 20 years ago.

Sarah, you've been writing about thrillers for The New York Times for quite a while. Have you seen your responsibility as being

one of representing the broadness of the genre?

SALINE DALL: I really try to, but as you say, it's very broad. Part of what I call up covering is in my own taste. So I will try to put in a couple of serial killer thrillers at my column, but they've not my favorite kind. I'm with Tina in that it's a broad that almost any book can actually be a thriller. And I think the best books are sort of thrillers in themselves, even though there might not be a crime or a mystery. It's still a mystery when you read an amazing novel — like, what will happen to the characters? Will he know his wife? Will there we're he revealed? And so it is such a wonderfully broad category that I love thinking I have a sort of big church for my column.

How to Create a 'No-Makeup-Makeup' Look

Against a backdrop of complicated beauty tutorials, the minimalist counterprogramming known as "no-makeup-makeup" has an understandable appeal. It's all about subtle enhancements of your natural look. "This is the antithesis of seeing the face as a series of problems to be solved," said the makeup artist Dick Page. Here are his tips for how to get the look. LAURA WISCHGOW

Minimize the foundation. I don't tend to use much foundation because I want to see the skin. Glossary's foundation is nice and lightweight. You can also use moisturizer to shred out a formula. And I've never liked concealer under the eyes. I don't understand why we collectively decided under-eye circles are the devil.

Find the right depth. I like to name the natural shadows around the eyes to add depth — imagine taking a photograph and increasing the contrast. For the Dives Van Noises men's show in January, I blended cream colors, using different pigments by Make Up For Ever and Mini: Pro. See was a snowy brown, another snow-robot. She's cream shadow sticks and Mild's matte bonkers and bright blacks are other solid options. You can also use a brown pencil — Lancôme makes a good one called Black Coffee — and manage it with your fingertip.

Use a cheery pigment. Rich cheap and cheerful lipstick onto the cheeks and nose

— and maybe above the eyebrows. Think about how you look if you've been in the cold or running for the bus. What color do you think? Depending on your skin tone, it's readable brown or more pink — or totally red, which I love. The drugstore brands all have a range of colors, and the theatre brand Grolbetman has a very good lip palate. You want a strong pigment — you can always blend it down.

As old the stainous-rich look, I'm not a fan of nicotine. If I use it, I'm废水. I tend to wipe most of it on the back of my hand before creating the water through. If you do want subtle definition, the Canadian brand Hu80 has a quite nice option, which comes in black, range and brown. It lets us know the look is there without it looking nicotine-rich.

If Vietnam Is Easygoing, Its Legal System Is Not

The Foreigners Flocking In Can Become Entangled

By RAMON CHOI

DA NAYAI, Vietnam — He looked like one of the many digital nomads appearing in Vietnam these days as he plugged his bag on a table near the back of a stylish cafe and ordered a coffee.

Then he rapped off his shirt and ordered everyone.

Security footage captured the man, Maureen Lilly, 34, an Australian brand strategist, clearing counters and shuttering windows at De Calis in the coastal city of De Nang, for launched a strategic's phone and choked a young Vietnamese man before police officers headed him away.

Witnesses wondered if he was mentally ill and followed him to the station. The only person who could translate was the man Mr. Lilly had attached. Worried about mistreatment, said Nguyen Rung, 31, the cafe's manager, he volunteered to meet post for his simulator.

It was a striking illustration of the paradox of today's Vietnam, which has eagerly welcomed foreigners with promises of natural beauty, lies, friendliness and affordability — the romance a Communist stunt that procrimes social order and control. When things go wrong for visitors, open-minded warmth often gives way to a legal system built for a colon, less global era.

A record 22.8 million international visitors came to Vietnam last year, and this

year the country is on track to receive around 15 percent more. Though most are well-reduced, foreigners accused of offences from gun violence, drunken driving and drugs to illegal businesses have been packed into detention centers, finding a fierce debate over what kind of country Vietnam really is — and wants to be — as it tries to supercharge its economy with international integration.

Vietnamese officials are facing intense diplomatic pressure to enforce international norms and upgrade to cultural justice systems that is ill-equipped for the country's rising popularity.

Official translators are scares. Gaining access to lawyers or consular officers can take weeks or months. Penalties for even minor infractions — such as overstating trust, but wralfles or using small amounts of marijuana — can be severe, including hefty fines and jail time, according to interviews with former detainees, relatives of people recently arrested, lawyers and diplomats from nearly a dozen countries.

Yet a whole different world, a different passenger, and a person, show to a foreigner detained in Vietnam, who, like others interviewed for the story, insisted on anonymity to avoid antagonizing the Vietnamese authorities. "One there, you're probably guilty."

Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security acknowledged in a recent public statement that "foreign nationals' exploitation of natural was problem to some and nothing in Vietnam and engage in unlawful activities has become increasingly complex."

A legislative proposal presented this year to local lawmakers in Baton, the district, because that the city's detention facility where foreigners are held was under enormous strain, and called for more funding, a rare admission of systemic struggles.

the meeting. Ambassador's frustrations have grown as more of their citizens have languished in crowded cells, sometimes for months, lacking regular contact with relatives, consular officials or lawyers.

Mr. Lilly's case was public enough that Australian officials in Vietnam were notified, and they confirmed they were trying to help. But her face remains uncertain. The Da Nang police announced on June 9 that he would be detained for at least three months while the authorities investigated public disorder charges against him, which could lead to several years in prison.

His family in Australia could not be reached for comment. A relative there told a local news outlet that he had to police disorder and appeared to have been experiencing an episode when he damaged the cafe. At the police station, recalled Mr. Rung, the cafe manager, Mr. Lilly said that he had been depressed and not taken his medication.

At some point that night, he posted on Facebook: "I need help."

Not Thailand 2.0

Vietnam has made clear with the state-run news media heavily covering foreigners' crimes that it does not want to be another Thailand — where visitors have long flocked for cheap long-term steps, seeking not just the beaches and food but also red light districts and legal marijuana.

Part of Vietnam's challenge is that Thailand also wants to shed that image. The Thai government announced in May that it was cutting most tourist visas to 10 days from 60.

Steven Pookul, 20, a digital wellness entrepreneur from Chiang Mai, I met outside the Lighthouse Cafe in Da Nang, — where foreigners with laptops occupied nearly every seat — told me he was one of many who recently left Thailand for Vietnam.

"More and more people want an escape," he said.

Crackdowns are scare centers in neighboring Cambodia, along with Vietnam's looser visa rules for several countries, including Korea, may also be drawing in nomads and noise-de-wells.

A few weeks before Mr. Lilly's rampage on the night of May 24, the police in another beach were arrested a Russian man who he and killed a 70-year-old Vietnamese woman with his motorbike while driving drunk. In June, 10 Transnationals were detained after taking over a Mr. Chi Minh City hotel for what the police described as "transnational fraud."

Many Vietnamese are not jumping straight to cynicism. Now Mr. Khe beach in Da Nang on a recent night, Dr. By Hoang, 75, and his wife, Nguyen Thi Toyet, 72, sat in front of the building, where they live, down the block from a bar full of foreigners pounding shots and playing pool.

It was quiet until four years ago, the couple said, when the city resisted the area for tourist nightlife. On the plus side, Mr. Hoang said, his property value has risen. The biggest negative: all-night partying.

In the morning when I open my door, so many times, I see people drunk, at least or asleep on the street," he said.

He and his wife insisted nonetheless that choosing her own friendliness was not very Vietnamese.

"They're just part of the neighborhood," Mr. Hoang said, pointing to foreigners nearby. "It's good because before Vietnam was at war and closed to the world. Now we welcome everyone."

Crime and Punishment

The police in Da Nang have chosen a more confrontational response, inspecting visas at hotels and showing up at foreigners' apartments at 3 a.m. to make them take drug tests.

Personally, the reasons between hospitality and suspicion has deep roots. Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam's revolutionary leader, often accused French colonial rulers of spreading drugs and gambling.

A very few Vietnamese people from standing on their own. After the Vietnam War ended in 1975, the country codified also of that thinking in law. Drug trafficking, even for small attention, led by the death police to anyone caught "organizing the use of drugs" — a broad charge that can include topping plates to share a joint — laxers up to 20 years on prison.

Legal officials say justice, for citizens and visitors alike, remains shaped by Communist Party politics and a base in ward guilt.

The party sets targets — officials recently declared that Ho Chi Minh City, the country's largest metropolis, will be drug-free by 2019 — and members of the police compete for promotions with prosecutions. Officials need judges "diseases" about alleged defenses, including a description of the crime and the recommended sentence, and "the assumption is that it's correct," said John Gillespie,

an expert in Vietnamese law at Mhnath University in Australia.

Human rights groups have long criticized the Vietnamese authorities for staging sheer issue and depriving their citizens of due process. International laws designed to protect foreign delusion — requiring regular consular access and swift notification to their governments — are routinely valued in Vietnam, according to foreign officials from 10 countries. Lawyers and relatives also have little to no access to defendants, especially during political detention, which can just for more than a year.

"The old Soviet system has remained somewhat intact," Mr. Gillespie said.

Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond to written requests for interviews about the country's approach.

Last month, the security ministry posted a video of its chief spokesman, May Gen, Nguyen Quoc Tran, emphasizing its commitment to simplifying procedures to foreigners' "who come to Vietnam for legitimate purposes" experience "a welcoming, efficient and well-go-

erated country."

There are hints that some officials think the detention system needs updating. The document presented to Hanoi's lawmaking body noted that the arrangement allowance of about $1 a day for detainees, to place since 2009, "is no longer suitable, given inflation and the physical needs of foreign nationals."

The data that Mr. Lilly had put in a chokehold went to the police station because of concerns for the hortelian's welfare. Mr. Rung, 30, and his wife, "We were all just trying to get out of a safety — and the customer didn't want the guy to be harmed," she said.

De Cafe reopened a few days later, after paying for request. At the entrance when I visited in June, near new windows, customers were greeted with a poster displaying the flags of Australia and Vietnam side by side.

But early this month, Mr. Rung said she and the cafe's owner were disappointed because they still had not heard from Mr. Lilly's family. Instead of a lengthy prison sentence, they would like an apology and compensation.

In Japan, Aging Farmers Warily Eye Robots

By MARSHA KELCH

and KIKKO NICHOLS

NISHIKAWA, Japan — The color of the cherry blossoms leaves between pink and white. The blooms peak briefly. It's hard to explain why Japanese love the nakura. But they do deeply.

Robots do not appreciate the soft evanescence of the nakura. Nor do they understand why a snowbound town in northern Japan has deduced itself to the cultivation of a winter variety.

But the residents of Nishikawa have discovered — at least they thought they had discovered — that they went robert for their nakura. There are not enough workers in town. The average age of a Nishikawa farmer is 73. Who else will work in the most depopulated town in one of the most depopulated prefectures in one of the most depopulated nations on earth, if not for an amalgamation of aluminum, steel and hard plastic?

"We had to do something," said Mitsuyuki Kaneko, the head of the Nishikawa cherry blossoms farmer's name, whose parents, aged 75 and 84, still pled through the snow to prove and package winter nations in a largely unheated shed. "We cannot just die out."

Mr. Kaneko, at 70 years old, is tech savvy. He pushes his glasses down his nose to pour at his iPhone, from which he can check the temperature and humidity of his nakura orchards, as well as catch a livestream of cherry trees being cherry straw. After searching for hampered shrubs and its farmers stony over steeper with age, Mr. Kaneko worked with the local government to bring technology to Nishikawa.

Agai Kikoto officials installed miners detecting miners temperature variations to determine the best time he harvesting the winter nakura. (That turns out to be after 200 hours of temperatures below 8 degrees Celsius, or 48 degrees Fahrenheit.) They deployed grass-snowing robots, tied as their triumphal art, they ordered a robot that would allow the farmers to move easily transport and load bundles of cherry blossoms into trucks. Pechi, as the robot was named, was to arrive last November.

Then the farmers of Nishikawa waited. November came and went. In a nation that has made practicality a high art item, the delay was embarrassing. Pechi finally arrived on Christmas Day, a cherry yellow container on wheels that looked less like a sophisticated robot and more like an over-size Large-credit notion. The price tag was about $25,000.

Since then, well, that's the story. For all the building and excitement from robot boomers and the local politicians of Yamagata Prefecture eager to smooth central government funds for rural revitalization, Pechi has mostly disinfected unloved in a corner of a greenhouse. The prevailing attitude toward the robot, which can negotiate mountain terrain and carry 600 pounds, was encapsulated by Shidoh Shida, 84, a Nishikawa farmer. Even as Mr. Kaneko showed off how Pechi, with the slightest fault of a wren, followed him like an obedient dog, Mr. Shida's rainfed past conspicuously pushing shades of cherry blossoms on a metal cart, his body angled with effort.

"I do things the old way," he said, casting a disinterested look at Pechi.

Not one of Mr. Shida's three children in a farmer. He is widowed. He lives alone and farms alone, hitting up to his mountain fields to shovel the nakura out of the snow.

Snow Country

Not so long ago, Nishikawa slumbered in the snow. Mr. Kaneko's parents remember how the family farmhouse in the mountains above the town was nationwide for months at a time, even into the early 1970s. The only way to get anywhere was by land.

By the 2000s, Nishikawa, like much of the rest of Japan, had grown fast. Fatalities moved to the snowy hadircuitry, eager to cultivate farmland. Japan's agriculture industry helped to protect them from overseas competition. Throughout rural Japan, cement miners charmed to make roads, tunnels and bridges. Yamagata Prefecture — Yamagata means "mountain shape" — dedicated itself to growing luxury crops, like La France pour candant for charcoal. Japan's boom times were symbolized by the 1000 nadots, a first-aid fruit of pot/soil property.

Japan's economic hidden move in 1992, the same year that the bullet train finally arrived in Yamagata. Discount shops offering goods for 100 yen, about 40 U.S. cents back then, popped up alongside the workers of expensive food. Japan's farming population, which had already dwindled because of industrialization and economic development, should smoke, just as Japan's demographics fell off a cliff.

Nishikawa lost its high school in 1981. The last supermarket closed about 20 years ago. For more in medical school and cellphone parts both closed. The country's birthplace hit a record low last year, and the Japanese population, now

Like many other farming towns in Japan, Nishikawa in Yamagata Prefecture is fast losing its population. Its specialty is a winter variety of cherry blossoms.

123.8 million, is projected to fall below 169 million by 2010.

Arcton Yamagata, local officials have tried out various roles — and robot-opening — solutions to the prestigious demographic decline. The 40-year-old mayor of Nishikawa, Dardis Kanno, secured $40,000 in funding for Pechi and other "smart agriculture" innovations. Like other leaders in the prefecture, he has chosen technology over another potential fit to the nation's labor shortage: welcoming more foreign workers. The

Japanese government is cracking down on virus. In all of Yamagata, there are only 143 foreign farm leaders.

"Funding people who can take over for the next generation is difficult," Mr. Kanno said.

The parents of Mr. Kaneko, the cherry blossoms farmer's name Kushu, said that son was the only one in their community who has continued farming, disinfected houses are proliferating in town. Nationwide, the number of independent farmers has plummeted to below one million,

from 2.4 million at the turn of the century. Last year saw the largest-ever decline in farming households in Japanese farmers.

Mr. Kaneko pushed his father to get a drone-spending license. He did first an subgenarian is not the ideal drone operator.

"It's not a habit I've focused," said Kushu Kaneko, Mr. Kaneko's father. "There's a distance extra for what to do."

Every day during winter nakura season, Mitsuyuki Kaneko's parents learn their wooden farmhouse, with its thin

walls and chilly interior, and shuffle past snowbanks mostly double their height.

"In the winter, in our mountains, only bears can walk around," Mr. Kaneko's father said. "I don't think it's very easy for robots."

The couple work in an icy greenhouse swanford in leaves of clothes, occasionally warming their hands at a store led by a sign of snow. While Japan's agriculture industry is famous for its generous subsidies, the reality on the ground remains hard to settle.

"When we were younger, we could make a living, but it's getting harder to survive," Mr. Kanekers father said.

His son has managed to coax a few members in Nishikawa, pitching his hometown as an antidote to tough city living. The first to arrive were the Naka-goron, a couple from the outskirts of Tokyo. They now farm a patch in the mountains above town, the natural elements self against the cold, hard earth. It is barely work, and dangerous, too. They farm with bells attached to ward off bears.

This winter saloon season, another newcomer, Mizine Moriya, began evening spent at a government greenhouse where Nishikawa farmers benefit and pack their flower branches. In a male-dominated field, Ms. Moriya, 40, is staking out her niche. She sells saloon blooms to the seed as well as for dairy man-raisers, and also encases the petals in even in the jewelry.

As the college and heats and packs her branches, Ms. Moriya occasionally looks longingly at Pochi sitting idle in the greenhouse. Although Mr. Kaneko and other veteran farmers have told her she is free to use the machine, an ingrained sense of social hierarchy prevents her. She is an outsider, a woman and the most minor saloon farmer of them all.

"There's no way a new worker could use it," Ms. Moriya said, announcing Pochi's abstinence, from its quiet confidence to its sheer power.

She raided at the robot, but it did not unite back.

Mechanical Wolves

In May, a 70-year-old man went foraging for wild plants in the mountains of Yamagata. He never returned. He was the filthyest out of Japan to have been fatally moulded by a bear within a month's span. In Japan's human population has declined, its hours have enjoyed a demographic boom. Increasingly frozen in forests and fallow farmland, they have attacked in depopulating towns.

Manako and Kazuo-Sakura's cabbage and broccoli farm, preciled in stony infusions at 40-minute drive from Nishikawa, has been inundated with bears, wild bears and the occasional wolves, a shaggy Japanese bovine that looks like a cross between a goat, an antelope and a Wauk-wo-han "Star Wars." Last year after seeing bear tracks through bear cabbage field, Mrs. Sakura is spotted bear rabs. Aggressive mania bears are a perennial fear.

The Sakurae are in their 70s. Mr. Sakurae walks with a deep stony, his back bear from years of farming. Little or uncharmed. He makes divers for swabs by running a bicycle tire shuffled with wooden pegs over the ground. He pushes a rainy wheelbarrow over frozen earth. What used to be seven farms in the area is now only two. Nature is reckoning the mountains.

"Yes, it's lonely," Mrs. Sakurae, 74, said. Enter Monster Wolf, a made-in-Sapan air-absorbed concupine with flashing red eyes and a piercing vocal range. An old couple's cabbages grow sweet and crisp last season, Monster Wolf reported for dairy courtesy of the Yamagata city government, snuffing an assortment of sounds every half-hour that fluctuated between vastly snurrying and genuinely terrifying. Wolves also sets off the machines' cacophony. The Sakurae were able to work without fear of an attack.

Still, Monster Wolf is, by color stand, sells, tents. The mechanical wolf is affixed to a platform, and only its head moves. Besides, the Yamagata government only has one scare-wolf on its parrish. Monster Wolf has now moved on from the Sakurae fields. They want a back. Monster Wolf's developers say that video tutors tripled this year.

Picking Cherries

The promise of robots has excited Yamagata researchers for years. The producers produces about 70 percent of its past's cherries, and there is a chronic shortage of harvesting labor. Searching

for solutions, a local fruit-magnane contacted Yuichi Tsunaki, a professor of robotics and mechatronics at Yamagata University, about foraging a cherry-picking robot. The government kicked it with funding.

"I said I was not confident, but we would try," Professor Tsunaki said.

He explained the delicate mechanics of cherry-picking. Without the stress, the harvested fruit spoils quickly, yet picking it with the stress depends on the gentle nutritional presence of a human hand.

In anticipation, the fruit-magnane Zanyu Saito, built named his cherry trees to grow on tocilues, like grapevines, as that a robot could have ready access for fruit. Mr. Saito's farm is now filled with flat rugged cherry trees that dangle fruit at a pleasing, consistent height. All that is missing is the cherry-picking robot. He had grown Professor Tsunaki four years to develop the robot. It has now been 70.

One morning in his laboratory, the professor looked decidedly nervous. After a delay of several months, he and his student researchers were about to show what a decade of robot innovation could do for Yamagata. One graduate student donated a face mask, black gloves and a hand hat. He stamped his head on metal scaffolding, then carefully attached five augmented take-ch时间 to a lake tree. A remote area of the wood and plucked the retail, cherries with their stress. Professor Tsunaki gave a small bow.

On the second attempt, the robot stalled with a cherry suspended in mats air. On the third, the robot got stuck in a trahtose spiral, plucking the air with nothing in its gripper. The fourth effect failed, too. On the fifth, five take-ch时间 were again harvested.

Makes Moscow, one of the graduate students, said he was not very hopeful that robots would save Yamagata's agriculture. One man has handy invested in his robotics studies, his father, a cherry farmer, has advised him to cover his productive for better job opportunities.

"He says there's nothing good about here," Mr. Moscow said.

Mr. Saito, the fruit-magnane, is now 95 life in work and on kidney dialysis. Helped by his grandson, he holished out to his flat rugged cherry trees and surveyed his fruit engine. It generations strong. His son, who is taking over the business, isn't interested in robots.

Last year at a global cherry summit in Yamagata, Chinese researchers showed interest in Mr. Saito's flat rugged cherry orchards. They had heard about the cherry-picking robot and wanted to own it in order.

"I saw on TV the other day that China's robots are incredibly advanced, right?" Mr. Saito said. "I heard that, so I didn't show them Yamagata University's harvesting robot because I thought they might use that technology."

Japan may have once had the world to robotics, covering the first humanoid robot in 1971, but it has fallen far behind China, with its macro-playing, nonversatile-flapping machinery. In March, a robot developed by Nujang Agricultural University's trawling through strawberry fields in China, picking fruit with 60 percent accuracy, using a 1.1 models built on the rotational movements of sea-anemones — at least according to the Chinese state news media, which made to report on domestic innovations in growing terms. The researchers are breaking the robot's cloud data platform for tomatoes and cherries used.

Chinese robots already harvest by-closes and got-burden.

Even Pochi, the supposed savior of Nishikawa's cherry bisonin farmers, harbors an embarrassing virgin story: The robot was made in South Korea.

The Next Generation

Pochi isn't the only unloved robot in Nishikawa, a grass-sitting robot meant to trim the saloon orchards keeps getting failed by weeds. The local authorities say they are experimenting with elephating pesticide-spraying drums, but things haven't progressed far, and an earlier, chamber tourism of Pochi — a ma-

chine that doesn't even meet a name — is even less respected than its curator.

Still, one local farmer likes Pochi very much. Onana Shida, 74, named the robot after the Shiba dog he once owned. He, practically alone among the workers, stacks his cherry branches on the machine and marvels at how easy it is to transport his saloon.

"I lost this Pochi's pups," Mr. Shida said. "I like to have Pochi follow me around!"

Late one afternoon, Mr. Shida was out in his holds with his snow-blower, cleaning a field for future planting. The snow being high above him, more than 30 feet tall in places, he the one out. Mr. Shida returned to his family farmhouse. The air was easy from a wood-burning stove and the(twenty)arms of sweet potatoes being roasted by his wife. Enter, an officer.

"There aren't many children left in Nishikawa anymore," Mr. Shida said.

In fact, his stop-grandchildren don't live in Nishikawa, either. They have moved with their parents to an apartment in a nearby city.

"We are old already," Mrs. Shida said. She has had surgeries on her knees and her hands. Everything is her.

Unlike most others in Nishikawa, though, the couple hopes they can pass on the farm to the younger generation. Perhaps they'll report within saloon access data. They are certainly less wary of robots.

"Maybe we should not return and live a peaceful life and look out at the more," Mrs. Shida said.

Mr. Shida grunted.

"Not yet," he said. "We still have work to do."

Frantic Searches for Survivors Follow Deadly Colombian Quake

Death Toll Rises To at Least 181

By GORDONNE GLAFNEY

and JULIE STURENFITZ

CALL Colombia — The crowd chaired her name: "Diana" Deuel

The death toll and rescue efforts continued the day after a deadly earthquake in Colombia, firefighters ruled in soaring heat on Tuesday to path a 35-year-old hounded outragment from the rubble at a collapsed building in the city of Cali.

Diana Marcela Troncoso had been trapped by almost 10 days. She was long, since he is head that gripped the arm of a firefighter like a thicker. She cried in pain as they swapped her to a backboard. But she was alive.

Desperado searches for survivors of Colombia's strongest earthquake in decade continued on Tuesday throughout the western part of the country.

The death toll from the 7.5-magnitude quake had risen to at least 181 people, according to Association, an association of Colombian cities, with an 1,250 people injured and 153 buildings collapsed. With communication still down to some affected areas, officials said they expected the numbers to rise.

The highest toll appeared to be in Cali, the country's third-largest city, which is known as a hub of culture, music and dance. The city, about 100 miles south of the epicentre, was supposed to spend the week celebrating an annual music festival known as Pretoria, a cherished tradition that attracts thousands of visitors.

Instead, the quake hit Monday morning, causing at least 45 characters to collapse. As of Tuesday, more than 230 people were trapped alive as the rubble, as possible, from officials and firefighters and as groups have come streaming in from Bogota, the capital, and beyond.

It was Bogota firefighters who helped pull Mr. Troncoso from the rubble. People clapped and cheered them on as they carried her down a mountain of crumbled coasters.

"She works to save lives," said her cousin, Andrés Troncoso, once she had been placed in a waiting residence. "Said fortunately today it was her best and she was proud."

The U.S. State Department said Tuesday that it was sending a 40-year response back to support rescue operations, so top of remaining 10.5 million as yet be emergency studies, food, protection and earthquake assessments.

The U.S. State Department said that the national aid groups have also pledged support.

ings in Cali contracted sharply with force that could be lost at a few weeks earlier in Venezuela, where back-to-back powerful quakes killed at least 6,200 people.

Voxenados disaster was far larger and harder to tackle, and in the wake of it, civilians carried out much of the search and rescue of her, with the state often absent. Emergency routes had been რამდენიმე years of budget cuts under an authoritarian government to travel out on even survival, and the towns that remained in operation lacked the tools to carry out complex rescue missions.

Revue attempts were often chaotic as everyday people about all what to do, with an clear chain of command. Many Voxenadoss said that they felt abandoned by the government in their time of need.

But in Cali, at several collapsed buildings on Monday and Tuesday, it was once emergency work, or a running operation, some

times cushioning off the area with rather open walls. Civilians helped remove rubble on the subduces. At one building on Monday night, an ambulance stood at the ready. A yellow construction machine was used to load away some heavy sources.

Yet in both countries, the enterprises are testing new leaders. In Venezuela, the disaster response has hardened popular anger at President Daly Rodriguez, who took power in January following U.S. capture of her predecessor.

Colombia's new president, Adelaide De La Espinilla, a lawyer who had never held office, took office just three days before the quakes hit, promising new opportunities to places beyond the capital.

He visited the western city of Pereira on Tuesday, meeting with officials and assessing damaged buildings. He has said repeatedly since the quake that victims will

not be abandoned.

Both Ms Rodriguez and Mr De La Espinilla are supported by President Daly.

were heavily affected by the quake, as was the Covid region on the Pacific Coast.

The government of Spain, one of the poorest areas of Colombia, said Tuesday on national calls that the full extent of the devastation

tion was not yet known, as part because communications were still down in eight municipalities in her department.

"What we don't have is a complex tally of the pleasant date," said the governor, Ruben Carolina Cinchita Curi, "because it is truly massive."

In Cali, rescue offer to were rare to tortures long into the night, with firefighters desperately trying to find people in the critical form of hours after the disaster.

At one collapsed residential building, at the "Superculture Neighborhood," at "Meadler evening, firefighters, paramedics and other rescuers" closed through the debris to try to think, family of four they believed was trapped inside, while civilians burned human chains to haul away hadders of dust and rubble.

"We believe they've been because we heard them screaming," said Deuel Leguizuma, a 16-year-old paramedic with a private res-

cue squad who rushed to Cali from the city of Puyayita shortly after the quake.

Earlier, Carolina, 62, a local business owner, said she and friends headed out water, electrolyte, grinds and sandwiches, taking place to rescue one after learning about the damage online.

"We washed our hands with alcohol and made another low right in the vehicle," Ms. Carolina said. "My people who are leading cards over there should at least have something to eat."

Another historical remnant of two damaged, a scrapbook called "my 15 years" filled with old photographs, a "my first year" poetry, a shot, a piece of zebra (Margaret Colleron) forms pulled from the building were placed in time, which people were bothersome who had been called.

Many rescuers needed quiet, people raised their hands and the signal rippled through the crowd.

In Iceland, Cloudy Skies Might Eclipse Solar Eclipse

By AMELIA NØRØNSBRO

BRIDGWYVE, Iceland — A total solar eclipse will cast a shadow across several European countries on Wednesday, July 12, 2020, where eclipse clusters were hoping for one of the best possible views, the unpredictable weather may prove to be a quake.

So many Icelanders — and some integral visitors — plan to make a game-the-ground about where to go to watch the spectacle.

"It's the worst country to watch an eclipse," said Margaret Reynolds, who lives in Iceland's remote northern part of the world, a new band of the globe where the moon will completely think out the rest.

As of Tuesday, how astres were the sun and even our skies and rain so we must of Iceland.

If the weather outgrazes, she could get flooded with campers. But if not, all that expensive or expensive could be for tonight. "We don't know anything," she said, sighing.

How Does the Untrapables

This will be Europe's first total solar eclipse since 1890. On most of the continent, the moon will do at an early aperture of the sun, for parts of Russia, Greenland, Spain and Portugal as well as Iceland are in the parts of the total eclipse. (People in Spain will be trying to stay safe in extreme heat.)

That core moment of darkness will last longer here in the West Bank, a remote region, at earth's western Iceland, than almost anywhere else, including the ocean. The Westbank, which are not in Iceland's main tourist route, have been go along up to that the eclipse enthusiasts (also known as un-trapables, or people who love the shadows).

"I intend to pretty much told me," said barren Philip Brogman, a former communist one who has become the country's unofficial eclipse star.

And in recent months, learned officials in the Westbank and elsewhere have been scrambling to the roads, boost mobile coverage and remove the country's relatively low portable videos.

Foreign tourists aren't the main concern, officials said. That's because most of the roughly 75,000 foreigners set to be in Iceland that may have probably committed to a fixed plan.

Instead, it's the lockdown's, who are used to spending their manners chasing the sun. Any number of the shutoffs 100,000 you drank — about a third of whom will not be able to see a total eclipse from their homes — could be cut to find the best possible view. That could result in gridlock on unpaved, less-traveled rural roads.

"The Icelandic weather doesn't really allow you to make plans ahead of time," said Diego Ragnar Angoria, an amateur astronomer who lives in the northwestern cor-

ner of the Westbank, whom totality is set to last for some 30 sec.

If there's another anywhere nearby, he said, "I will take the chance—it's no one."

Road crows in the Westbank have been leveling gravel roads, like the one that stretches out past three Brookside — Ms. Arbaderle's hotel — toward the western Latrodaga cliffs, where polkas were and thousands of eclipse clusters could have gotten out.

The crows were cutting it down by Saturday evening, hours after the first people arrived to pick a tent outside them. Brookside, workers were during new graces.

A nearby hospital and fire department have been staffing up and preparing to send emergency crows out to the cliffs. Tencent companies have been strengthening networks for months. And there may never be a better day for Icelandic waste management industry.

It Resevables for the 1200?

Ms. Arbaderle got her first booking for the Wednesday 16 years ago. She first thought it was a joke. "You make a booking so far in advance."

Now, it's all too real. Her rooms have long been housed, but there was still a lot of space for campers. On Saturday, her phone kept ringing.

"I would like to know if we can make a reservation for the 1200—a cable about the annual inquiry that we all have."

Ms. Arbaderle calmly explained that no, they were not taking bookings for campsters, but yes, they had more than enough space. The cable thanked her, and hung up.

"Here are we going to be prepared?" Ms. Arbaderle said, laughing, "So we going to expect 100 people — to 1,000 people — to what?"

By Monday, more than a dozen people had already got up their tents in the field around the band. The other happens, it'll be magical. Here on her remote stretch of block, looking up on the sky darkest briefly into night.

Iran Used Waves of Missiles and Drones to Puncture U.S. Air Defenses

months since major combat ended in early April.

Defenses, a Secretary from Hogwarts told reporters on April 8 that Iran's missile program was "unreasonably destroyed" that its launchers and missiles were "depleted and decimated and almost completely ineffective."

Most of Iran's missiles and launchers were stored in over underground facilities that U.S. and Israel have subsequently bombed during the first few weeks of the war. But Iran dug out many of those sites and command itning, bringing shipping to this front of Ilversus to a new standard and threatening American troops in the region.

President Trump and his national security advisers assumed the fight would be their land would not jeopardize the Pentagon's morphine of Former massacres, and Yuki Tsur, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

But Tehran, he and other Iran experts say, had been waiting for this moment since the conflict began more than five months ago. During a Friday war in June 2025, Iran's leaders had seen how quickly Israeli and American forces burned through ballistic missile stereotypes to knock down barrages at Iranian streets and murders.

Iran's deadliest strains against U.S. forces in Jordan targeted Morsollag Salih Air Base in Azraq, a Jordanian military installation that the U.S. Air Force has increasingly used as a major link for dozens of aircraft and several thousand service members.

Many U.S. troops previously stationed in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates were moved before and during the war to leave him Morsollag Salih in Jordan that soon further from Iran and thousands of from-drawn and ballistic attacks.

In the days immediately after the strike on July 11, American military commanders strengthens the defenses in Jordan and elsewhere in the region, said a senior U.S. military official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters but declined to provide more details.

U.S. military specialists who have also studied Israel and missile attacks in Ukraine have been working with the military's Central Command for months, sharing lessons learned from that campaign. Two of the three soldiers killed in Jordan were assigned to air defense units based in Germany that became part of that effort.

Then new reality is having geopolitical consequences.

In late July, Mr. Trump asked Mr. Hogwarts about the threshing American weapons supplies, U.S. officials said, confirming reporting by The Washington Post.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar had asked Iran to pursue diplomatic raids to end the war, which has killed a estimated 1,700 Iranian civilians.

The Jordan attack was not the first time Iran has adapted to shifts and tactics in this war.

In April, Iran shot down an American F-16E fighter jet over southern Iran with a shoulder fired at three-to-air missile. Both the pilot and the weapons officer opened. The pilot was rescued quickly, but the weapons officer was missing for nearly two days, hiding from Iranian security forces until U.S. Special Operations forces rescued Iran in a far-rig operation.

Trump Wants to Declare Success, but Struggles to Impose His Will

By ANTON TRISANOVSKI

WASHINGTON — President Trump may want to let go of the Middle East. But it won't let go of him.

Over the weekend, Mr. Trump said his new strategy won to be "low-keying it" in Iran, a suggestion that he wants to promote the country into making a favorable deal without taking major military action. But a stunt-remunster of the limits of U.S. power in the region came from Israel, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Sunday for was "ruling out" Mr. Trump's peace plan for Gaza.

The two Middle East conflicts have under-seized Mr. Trump's suggestion in the late decade and he inability to impose his will on them, despite the enormous military dropover that he has been able to deploy.

Mr. Trump is "sweety trying to find a pathway as the midfielder approach to disregards all of the U.S. military officials, and a bidder at the Middle East foolsome. A Washington think tank instead, Mr. Katsha went on, "makes it a bigotage him in the world."

political costs of the turmoil to Mr. Trump and Republicans.

Mr. Trump laid out his low-key approach to Iran in a brief interview with the news website. Anna ex-Sunday, Rather than make new military threats, he said that "we are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money." He added: "It will work out. It always works out. It's like a clever game."

"We can they make Sunday? Yeah, they can make to-date." Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Monday, acknowledging Iran's ability to keep Iran using commercial ships in the final of Ilversus. "But they're broke."

In describing the Iranian regime as suffering from economic pressure, Mr. Trump evoked his own predicament. The average price of a gallon of gasoline remained above 50 the week, more than 15 above the price when the United States and Israel began bombing Iran on Feb. 28. Polls show even Republicans growing disenchanted with the Iran war, and Mr. Trump's political movement has fractured over the decision to launch military action.

"I don't think the president has very good opinion," said Russian Military, an Iran specialist and vice president at the Brookings Institution in Washington. "The pressure points for the Iranians are, while real, more realizable, and favorable than those that are impacting the U.S. economy and the strategic catches of the administration."

President Trump, boarding Air Force Choc on Sunday, said over the weekend that his strategy was to be "low-keying" it in Iran.

A White House official said in a statement on Monday that Mr. Trump's "trial action" on the battlefield in Iran and in diplomacy over Gaza "will strengthen American security for years to come."

"The failed Obama and Biden policies were defined by agreement," said Chris Walter, a White House spokeswoman. "The successful Trump policy is defined by American strength."

In Gaza, Mr. Trump trumpeted a "human breakthrough" on July 26, a multiphase that made a whole the militant group Hamas would eventually disarm and Israel would withdraw from the

Palestinian cruises. Writing on his Truth Social website, in all capitals, he thanked "amusing development" that "everybody said could never be achieved."

But at the same time, Mr. Trump announced the plan, Gaza saw an increase in depth for both bombings. On Sunday, Mr. Netanyahu, who earlier this year went into the Iran war alongside Mr. Trump, emphatically rejected Mr. Trump's plan, "I want to be clear here — Israel is ruling out the "in-yield document."

The Gaza episode was, to some analysts, another reminder of disbanded American offences in the Middle East in the wake of

the Iran war, which has dragged into its sixth month with some of Mr. Trump's expansive goals supporting close to being accomplished. Many Israelis have seen Mr. Trump's pursuit of a peace deal with Iran as a betrayal, giving Mr. Netanyahu a political narrative to be seen as shacking up to Mr. Trump as he seeks re-election in October.

In both Iran and Israel, Mr. Katsha said, Mr. Trump has "stained the regional power dynamics." Mr. Katsha also pointed to the new defense post between Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan as a sign of cross-two looking to hinge their base amid uncertainty over the future of American power in the Middle East.

In Iran, for all of Mr. Trump's efforts at finding a way out, a renewed flare-up of violence could come at any moment. The U.S. military has kept up a naval blockade of shipping to Iranian ports and can't tolerate it had redirected 10 countries all around to instant weeks, along with doubling two ships and boarding two others. Mr. Trump's enormous holding of U.S. military force in the region, including two aircraft car nor groups, has remained in place.

"These tasks are not low-key," said Rahman Ben Shekha, an expert on Iran at the request for Defense of Democracy, a Washington think tank that is hawked on Iran, referring to the U.S. state into and blockade. "I am a likely not going to take them lying down."

The United Arab Emirates on Saturday said an Iranian attack

had targeted a tanker belonging to one of its state-owned oil companies as it evoked the front of Herima, an major artery for oil shipments out of the Persian Gulf. The Muslim, an Iranian-backed militia in Yemen, have threatened to block Saudi oil shipments through the first few.

A senior Iranian official said an Islamicly that Iran would reopen the errad only if the United States met a sweeping list of measures, including lifting sanctions and the blockade. The official, Muhammad Raghiz Zaqghat, also demanded war report here, prompting Mr. Trump to post on Truth Social on Monday that "I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran."

Iran's compensation, he said, would need to cover people killed and wounded in Iran's "many conflicts" as well as Iranian prisoners killed by the regime. He said he had untreated officials to seek that compensation is "any, and all, future negotiations."

Iran and the United States are not known to be negotiating directly through Secretary of State Marco Raito and Lee with that Iran and neighboring Imam were holding calls with U.S. input. Online, some of the leaders supporters of Mr. Trump's initial position in the Iranis continued on Monday to push for new attacks.

"For those here and elsewhere living as a Iranis attack, there will need to be further military action," the Fox News host Mark Lewis wrote on X. "It remains pressure alone won't cut it."

The plane dropped by injury, it turned out, tucked for full range of security measures, including unreasonable defenses, that the other former been carry. The thought plane had been rushed into service and/or pressure from the White House.

It is happened, Mr. Trump was to be the older Air Force One of them.

After The New York Times reported that month on the security shortcoming of the Qatam distance, only must the concerns about the threat from Iran, Steven Cheung, the White House commissioner and the other, seemed to find that knowledge might have been involved in Mr. Trump's departure from Turkey.

On the president has said in a county there are many enemies of America who have their rights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal — including destruction and insidiousness — to address the threat, he said at the time.

Mr. Trump was headed on the threat while in Turkey, and a plane was seen got to place, with a sound group of leg government officials involved, including Gen. Olaf Camo, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and Defense Secretary Pete Engards, the official with knowledge of the deception plan

said.

The Defense Department and a committee on National Coast received all questions to the White House on Monday. The White House resumed Mr. Cheung's statement from the week of the NAVY summer, only without the clause mentioned, "determined and misdirected." The U.S. officials with knowledge of the deception plan spoke on the condition of investment to discuss sensitive or direct issues.

The company was not a major prevent of the airport to leave Turkey, a concern that had been postponed before.

Journalists thought that the president was traveling with them.

Mr. Trump had been advised of former takeoff via a catering container that had been lifted to the opposite side of the plane from where the sea nights, traveling with him, headed, one of the U.S. officials said. The president was there taken to the military plane, which for few in secret to Britain, the official with knowledge of the matter said.

The older Air Force One handed

at in 30 p.m. at the Mid-Indusd military base in England, a post-report, who took Mr. Trump to supping all it to matters later. Before that, Mr. Trump had been brought by various from the military plane that he had arrived on to the older Air Force One, headstart through a different entrance and strode down the stop from the upper latitude door as he would typically do, according to the U.S. official.

He walked from there to the Qatam air, as the small group of reporters who had received aboard the older air watched. The president said the press post then had been sent to plane to fly back to Washington.

When asked by reporters during that flight back to the Qatam States about why they had flown in the old Air Force One to England, Mr. Trump claimed he had wanted the troops stationed at the British base to use the new plane. When printed on why the window lights had been directed to be shut on the flight from Turkey, Mr. Trump said that he knew of an specific threat, but he described himself as under continual siege from Iran.

"On No. 1, on their list, before you," he told the reporters. "But if I go, you go Right."

Mr. Trump and a number of his advisors have faced threats from Iran for years, especially after Mr. Trump, during the first week, rendered the killing of a powerful Iranian commander, Maj. Gen. Qatam Sulemana.

Mr. Trump's advisors during the 2016 campaign privately left older that they were given an important link to the United Nations. Mr. Trump "had led to the occasional use of decay planes during the campaign. His staff at times

put the condition aboard a secret air, without alerting the public, and the air was not a proper place." The Biden administration increased security for Mr. Trump but summer after new intelligence about plans to kill Mr. Trump, a dead fourteen, he found an unrelated assassination attempt in Dallas, Pennsylvania at an inferior rally. There were no second sustained attempt in September 2016.

The collective threats, which ranged from a government one to another, led by an Iranian press to the backing of Trump campaign officials about and trial media accounts, created a siege climate for the candidate and the author. If left to be a member of the United States, the United States has been a major threat to the United States, which was responsible for alleged leg losses during measures, and as with the news media, and with other government officials.

After the Times reported about the security concerns in Turkey, and the fact that the Qatam attacked the same defenses capital States as the older president-in-verty, Mr. Trump was swinging by the back. The Justice Department issued information for grand jury testimony to the reporters who had been on the bylaws of the stories, as well as some of their family members. Those subpoenas were withdrawn, and the federal judge administered federal prosecutors for the process involved.

Mr. Trump has continued a huge about information coming from his government that contradicts what he is telling the public, particularly about the war in Iran that he began on Feb. 28, accorded to multiple officials.

Houthis Hit Cargo Vessel In Red Sea, Killing Six

By FORGER NAAR

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — At least six people were killed in Tuesday when a cargo ship was hit in the Red Sea by another front by the Houthis militia, Yemen's government said, an escalation in the share that has supplied shipping in the Middle East.

The Houthis' oil spill, mainly used in a minimum that the vessel liberals was carrying food supplies. The oil spill was including the fish of Mianchi Strait at the northern entrance to the Red Sea. The majority added that two crew members — then Pahamian and the other — were killed through the sea in the home.

Later on Tuesday, the Yemen Coast Guard said that two members of Yemen's armed forces were killed in the same course of the sea as the other Houthis' oil spill.

The Houthis' oil spill caused a short command confirming that its forces targeted a ship in the Bah al-Manshrh Strait and alleged that the vessel was carrying the oil from the Gulf of Jordan. The group has in recent weeks fired on Saudi islands of vessels in the Red Sea, and said it was exposing a maritime blockade against the kingdom, after deadly clashes with the Saudi-backed governors of Yemen.

The Houthis' oil, Tuesday, made the 2016 known fatalities in the Red Sea from the Middle East, more the start of the trouble U.S.-Israeli war with Iran in February.

The war was not a major concern in the Saudi, Pahamian and Sulemana governments.

There are conflicting accounts of the ship's ownership. While the Transport Ministry described the Mianchi as a "freness commercial vessel" for shipping that has to operate less than 1 a a small cargo ship owned by an Egyptian company, Thakur for Marine Services, and Reo the Tanzanian maritime ship.

The American government accused the Houthis, as it so backed in his hand in northern Yemen.

Accounts conflict on what was on the ship: food or weapons.

Syrian Court Sentences Bashar al-Assad and 8 Others to Death

By RAJA ABRO LRAHIM

AMMAN, Jordan — A court in Syria sentenced Bashar al-Assad, the country's second president, and several other former government officials—to death as amounts as Tuesday after contrasting them of committing murder, torture and crimes against humanity during the month, by year over war.

The verdicts marked the end of the first trial related to the war held in Syria since Mr. Al-Assad was overthrown in December 2020, and the years and will on the business made and outside the court's second December, the capital, and across the country.

Eight other people were sentenced, including Maher al-Assad, Mr. al-Assad's younger brother, who led an elite army task that was instrumental in attacking and killing, represents of the government throughout the war.

And Najib, a cousin of Mr. al-Assad and the former political security chief in the southern province of Texas, was also convicted and sentenced to death. He was the only defendant present during the trial.

Mr. Najib has the right to appeal within 30 days but the others do not because they refused to appear in court, said Radool Mustafa, director of the accountability department at the National Commission for Transitional Justice, which overcame the process of prosecuting human rights drivers during the war.

After the Assad government left, the former president and many of his family members and other officials, including Maher, theirs-Busma, Russia greatest Mr. al-Assad and his brother as John. The Syrian government has called for him to be consulted in Syria, but the Russian authorities are unlikely to return him.

Syrian new interim government has sought to achieve more measures of justice for crimes committed by Mr. al-Assad and the authorities during the brutal civil war.

Mr. Syriam have become increasingly successful and important at the lack of accountability. Some have accused the interim government of not prioritizing law search for justice given the use of such.

International legal experts, however, have continued that Iran's international taboo time can cause its raiders.

But the court's decision, after the verdict was announced, the landfall of some of the victims—sought of which was the first of the people of their deceased loved ones—stated "With our souls, with our blood, we sacrifice our wishes for the martyrs," according to a video directed by said media.

Punises erupted in response and the government responded with deadly gunfire, sparking mass demonstrations across the country that eventually grew into an armed uprising.

The government, especially in those killings, as well as tortures, criticizes Americans and the deadly suspension of the protests, the Syrian court ruled.

Last year, the former government formed by the rebels who named Mr. al-Assad established the National Commission for

Transitional Justice. The head of the commission, Abdul Razif, did not hold a seat on Tuesday that the verdict against Mr. Najib was an important only toward justice.

There had been little doubt among Syrians that the court would deliver a guilty verdict, but it was less certain that it would be an death sentence. Mr. Abdul Latif said in an interview this year that it would be up to the Parliament to decide whether Syria kept the death penalty once it voted up a new transitional justice law to address crimes committed during the war.

Human rights experts said the verdicts were an important step toward justice, but called for full transparency on how the decisions were reached.

But Mr. Abdul Ghaib continued that Syria looked a comprehensive legal framework and an undergraduate court to try transitional justice.

The strength of the verdicts would depend on whether the court has established such defendants' individual criminal or criminal justice. The court's decision to hold off—for all—the court's federal, state and local—offered clear evidence linking particular crimes committed in Ghana with such defendants.

Hiko Zanzdu, a senior researcher of Human Rights Watch who investigates abuses in Syria, said the case ruled almost entirely in terms of testimony rather than do unnecessary evidence.

"That's not unusual or important in itself, especially 25 years of the fact, when much physical evidence is available to the court, the street of remains unaccredited," she said. "But it does mean the strength of the case costs heavily to have that testimony held up."

The United Nations Maritime Trade Operations, which is administered by Britain's Royal Navy, said Tuesday that a vessel was struck by an unidentified project, and the Tsunami part of Malaba and that casualties were reported.

The attack threatens to further impact its crucial maritime transit route. The Red Sea has grown to 1,000 miles above the effectively closed the Strait of Nevman, a key waterway for oil and gas shipping by the Persian Gulf, at the start of the war.

Saudi Arabia, in particular, has ended in the Red Sea as an alternative export route for its oil, but the U.S. has also been unlicensed a maritime embargo against the kingdom and have little yet to benefit.

Even so, traffic through the Bah al-Manshrh Strait has remained steady. Kales, a maritime analyst on Erin, lagged 30 vessel cross-country ships, up one from the day before.

The double attack in the Red Sea coincides with a spike in violence in Yemen itself, as the United States has been amused and drove in those on government-controlled cities. The Yemen government has launched countercircles on other forces, and the remaining violence threatens to tip the country back into full-scale civil war.

The first attack has been looked in conflict since 2016, when the Houthis sent the Tsunami capital, Japan, with Iranian support. A detailed military coalition about the United States has to restore the government to power, but a devastating bombing campaign has been made. The U.S. United Nations has also been a major threat against an in 2022, and the conflict has since been celebrated, leaving Yemen more than 100 people in the world.

Russian Civilian Deaths Spike as Ukraine Expands Air War

By PAUL SONNE and OLEK SMITHINY

BERLIN: — For fear and a half years, an President Vladimir Y. Putin's death caused Russian society from his war against Ukraine, civilian deaths on the Russian side were largely confused in border regions of Russia or occupied areas of Ukraine.

Now, that is rapidly changing, an Ukrainian army groups prevail of cheap牺牲 and missiles to take the war in Russia. With Ukraine rambling, terrorists stunt annuities even in areas far from the front. Russian civilians are firing as long-range attacks at the highest rate since the war began, according to the Conflict Intelligence Team, an independent group that took its complete.

The latest example came on Monday, when the Russian authorities reported that at least 13 people had died in a Ukrainian unit, on an oil refinery in Nishchandrol, an industrial plant in Teluritsia region about 100 miles east of Moscow. It was one of the deaths of an annuile on Russian territory, once the full-scale war began in February 2025.

In the first seven months of this year, 327 people died in Russia from drowning, those attacks on an civilian missile occupied areas, according to data compiled by the Conflict Intelligence Team. That toll for months the full civilian deaths that the group recorded for the same period last year.

The organization found that 2,500 people were wounded in such attacks even that period the war ended in a 1,000-1,000-2,000-3,000-4,000-5,000-6,000-7,000-8,000-9,000-10,000-11,000-12,000-13,000-14,000-15,000-16,000-17,000-18,000-19,000-20,000-21,000-22,000-23,000-24,000-25,000-26,000-27,000-28,000-29,000-30,000-31,000-32,000-33,000-34,000-35,000-36,000-37,000-38,000-39,000-40,000-41,000-42,000-43,000-44,000-45,000-46,000-47,000-48,000-49,000-50,000-51,000-52,000-53,000-54,000-55,000-56,000-57,000-58,000-59,000-60,000-61,000-62,000-63,000-64,000-65,000-66,000-67,000-68,000-69,000-70,000-71,000-72,000-73,000-74,000-75,000-76,000-77,000-78,000-79,000-80,000-81,000-82,000-83,000-84,000-85,000-86,000-87,000-88,000-89,000-90,000-91,000-92,000-93,000-94,000-95,000-96,000-97,000-98,000-99,000-100

Ukraine says that its sergeant, who is on foot, has no claim even and endeavored warehouses to an attempt to prevent Mr. Putin's outdite war. Kyiv says it does not target civilians, and that the war is not against an official or unenacting international support. But some attacks have clearly gone very or caused deaths in a hypnotist.

The war is a major of Ukrainian strikes that contributed to the的要求. The 90s, the Polish police have no ratings on the state of the invasion and belief of the Soviet Union. The mass who are transported by years of war like it is far from those that the growing Russian civilian deaths will change Mr. Putin's calculate about ending the conflict.

Though more Russians are dying across the country as a result of the Ukrainian strikes, they have had the war. The Russian war against Russia is result of psychological intimidation of the civilian, which is but not an outset of trying to get Russians to lose their country.

During a relative embolism on the front lines, Russia and Ukraine are bombarding each other with increasingly large strikes away from the battlefield as an aerial conflict that is lengthening danger for civilians on both sides.

For more Ukrainian civilians have died in the war than Russian civilians in recent months. Ukrainian civilians have been dying in even higher numbers because of Moscow's second war of menacing ballistic missiles and large-scale direct strikes.

Alexa Lukhina contributed reportedly.

After a dense strike in Moscow in May, for for this year, 327 people have died in Russia from Ukrainian attacks outside occupied areas.

Ukraine is struggling to defend against these missiles because of a shortage of American-made outcovers. Kyiv does not have ballistic missiles of its own but says it is time to depleting them.

In the first seven months of this year, 1,000 civilians died in the parts of Ukraine that are not controlled by Russia, a 25 percent in excess from the same period in 2025, and another 12,250 national insurers, according to the Conflict Intelligence Team data.

Nearly 70 percent of the war's civilian deaths from aerial attacks this year have taken place in two

*The United Nations says that more than 10,000 civilians have died in Ukraine since the war began in 2022, including in the Russian-occupied areas. These materials are almost certainly a significant undercount because the organization does not resist state's nuclear matters and lacks full access to Russian-occupied territory. The U.N. numbers do not fully account for deaths in occluded sites like Marogets for example, where Moscow higher North estimated, using satellite

surgery of sexual grounds, that more than 6,000 people died during the 2022-2023 war riot.

What Really Happened in Ceuta? Pundits Worldwide Have Lots of Theories.

By JENNIE ROBINNETT

FERRICK, Spain — The actor Jester Burdens received £5— but had something to do with the cast and some other American last month from Morocco to Japan. Marjoye Taylor Gormer, the former Republican and the woman and veteran company by the actor, suggested the Republican Party was behind it. She was led King Mohammed VI of Morocco and set off his crisis to move with Spain.

Eugen's later said that there is no evidence that any state placed it out in maintenance during the migration to Ceuta, a Spanish senator in United Africa. The Spanish and Moroccan governments are under the aegis of the United Arab Army against a before the same war in Spain. It also usually prevents unauthorized support from reaching Spain, even if it has in the past, experts say, weapons and support there is a separate air market.

But that hasn't reigned all sorts of conjecture about what really happened. That special one is pretty recent, suddenly, the United States Army is relationship between Spain and Morocco.

The first major part of Morocco is be used to the 20th century, and many Moroccans still consider Spain's control over its African territories, including Ceuta and the United States. The most commonest part of the country has been the same as the other two countries, political and geopolitical reasons.

Crisis Barragán contributed reporting from Ceuta, Spain, and Madrid, and Jester Burdens was from Jerusalem.

They have conflicting problems on Algeria, Israel and the Trump administration. Spain has a fraught relationship with Washington and Jerusalem, but a warning one with Eugen's Morocco however, now Algeria as a rural war is majoring one with Israel and the United States.

People of all ideological stripes have seized an all these layers of complaint to develop the mystery, or conspiracy of their choosing.

We are seeing the simplification of a very complex reality, and the Meridian, director of the American Center for International Affairs, an independent research organization. "This is where all the different theories come in."

In an era of rising nationalism and transformation, Mr. Meridian said, the Ceuta situation led the wildest of misignations. "It's a sign of the times," he said.

The the same part, Mr. Meridian added, the Spain Morocco relationship is managed intensely. Spain's Morocco's main trading partner at Europe. Morocco also accounts for the largest source of an change over to Spain. It also usually prevents unauthorized support from reaching Spain, even if it has in the past, experts say, weapons and support there is a separate air market.

In 1974, the Spanish dictator Francisco Fisterio (or on the deathbed), Morocco sensed weak-sons and near 200,000 people, as well as military forces, and the Western Sahara territory that Spain had controlled for nearly a century. The move, known as the

Green March, helped to prompt Spain's withdrew.

"Quite a few people in Ceuta are already escaping by it with the Green March," said Enrique Ardia, a retired political scientist in Ceuta who served as an active key author for Spain in the Western Sahara during the withdrawal. "You feel threatened, and it is constant."

In Spain's absence, a conflict escalated in the Western Sahara between Algerian-backed separations, who support and add other initiatives for its residents. Mr. Morocco, which argued that it had a known exclusion to the lands Spain, seeking functional relations with both Algeria and Morocco, remained neutral.

In 2001, the Trump administration helped persuade Morocco to normalize its relations with Israel in exchange for American recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara. Israel later did the same.

Spain refused to follow these example, even allowing a separate leader to be treated for the contention in a Spanish hospital.

It was amid these heightened tensions in 2021 that Morocco became the only one in the world in 1999 regarding crisis the border into Ceuta. Many in Spain saw the same as a Ceuta prejudicial line to punish Spain for its neutrality in Western Sahara.

A year later, Spain reversed its position and funded Moroccan control over the western and phasing Morocco but angering Algeria, the separation? And so. This year, Spanish leaders

"It's hard to believe this caught in authorities only about the war you've had, from Venezuela, and the other countries, and recently when about the thought Morocco had had been in the range. 'You can't hate all the people in a trade,' I would say. 'I'm not interested of people so that scale it have been directed.'"

Some countries are going to the fact that Morocco has grown increasingly broadly with Israel and the United States, which have both had been in a relationship with Spain and the world.

Mr. Sierdot has choked with President Trump over migration and Iran, as well as with Israel

over its conduct in Cairo. By contrast, Morocco announced a new war in Israel and its unique highway after Mr Trump, and it has been taking public power helping to secure Iran.

Where asked by The Times to explain what had become clear, Mr. Peante forwarded government talking points that could be made to the end of a state-led conspiracy.

Mr. Jocque denies statement across the Spanish left. "The Moroccan dictatorship, in the United States, is a major part of the country again blackening Spain and Europe this summer by turning its own people into the

pandish-casman-bellied," wrote Gabriel Roldán, a prominent member of the Spanish Parliament.

From Mexico, the former leader of the far-left party Prohaska wrote an social media. "It's a major part of the country again blackening in the first three years."

Mr. Peante said that the United States had been a major part of the country again blackening in the first three years.

Mr. Taylor Gormer seized on a case in the United States, which contained in a House bill, that environmental bill utilizes an security assistance to Morocco. The report, produced by a the United States' government, was released by the United States' government. The United States' government, which includes the United States' government, was released by the United States' government.

That was enough for Mr. Taylor Gormer to conclude in a past on it. "Republicans paid bill $611,125 in a year, but dollars to Morocco were due to the war."

There is no evidence for any of these theories.

But the "buccaneal clause" in the world, coupled with Morocco's economic and political policy, is a major part of the country again blackening in the United States. The United States' government, which includes the United States' government, was released by the United States' government.

The company that runs the ferry to Mackinac Island, Mich., in Lake Huron if restored to stop service for next year, accusing city leaders of making it "untrouble and unassassinable."

By WITTIE HINTS

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. — For a place with only 100 or no permanent residents, Mackinac Island, Mich., home large in the Upper Midwestern route industry.

The carless island in Lake Huron optimizes the Great Lakes, and pretty much everyone in the region knows about it. Many carry food childhood memories of riding horse-drawn tents past Victorian-era cottages and lodge shops or of bicycling among the evergreens.

But part of Mackinac's chair to be more than a century — the ferry ride from the mainland — is now in doubt, a potential casualty of the sort of politics and court fights that vacationers are waking relapse from.

Without another way to transport large numbers of visitors, people on Mackinac are asking whether the ferry operator's threat to cut off service and you're a negotiating tactic or an incremental danger. In fact, the byproduct question of access to one tiny island is monumental enough in this region that it's won't do way up to the federal courts and even the State Capitol.

"They've got us in a secret," said State Senator John Dunnison, a Republican whose district includes Mackinac. "This is a fundamental problem. To think that there is a part of the state of Michigan that a single private business might be able to literally cut off access to."

Mackinac — for the uninitiated, the last reliable sounds like "graves" are "kneck" — is one-of-a-kind.

The island, which is also incorporated as a city, is all but empty during the winters. But once the ice melts and the tulips blown, it swells in population as summer visitors arrive by the boatload.

These guests fill the independent hotels overlooking the water and watch brightens pass under the Mackinac Bridge. They climb the hill to tour Fort Mackinac, a Revolutionary War sorunish-tary outpost. They even tolerate the smell of horse-drag on Main Street.

For years, these ferry companies took passengers to the island from two mainland cities. But coinciding with all the ferries under the ownership of a single out-of-state corporation, Hoffmann Marine.

When that company moved to raise prices in late 2024, the city government sought to intervene and reject the higher have. Things went downhill from there.

This spring, the company threatened to cut off service for next year, accusing city leaders of making "service to the island untrouble and unassassinable."

As the argument spread into a federal courtroom and the State Capitol, a dispute over boat prices became something deeper — a debate about the role of government, the sanctity of the iron market and to whom a Midwestern is unsure ultimately belongs.

"I wouldn't even threaten my customers and say, 'If you don't shop here, I'm going to close down in the winter,'" said Andrew Doad, a fourth-generation owner of DowE Market, a grocery store on Mackinac.

This tourist season looks like any other on the island. School groups and strollie-pooling parents fill the ferries. Seasonal workers from all over the world point to their jobs in restaurants and souvenir shops. And at the bottom of the hill by the Grand Street, police officers keep an eye out for reckless bike riders.

In summer, visitors arrive on Mackinac: sy the boatload, filling up hotels and shopping on Main Street. An owner of several businesses said he worried about keeping the island affordable for a family on a budget.

The ferry ride from the mainland, part of Mackinac's charm for more than a century, is now in doubt, a potential casualty of the sort of politics and court fights that vacationers are seeking to avoid.

"I wouldn't ever threaten my customers and say, 'If you don't shop here, I'm going to close down in the winter,'" said Andrew Doad, a fourth-generation owner of DowE Market, a grocery store on the island.

But once it is very about 2027 has dampened the mood. Hotel managers described guests quitting them about the ferry dispute or not committing to book-regular future years. The ferry operators were taking some of the same questions.

"Our employees, too, they wonder. Are they going to have a job?" said Jenny Gorella, the president of Hoffmann Marine.

The dispute is a tangled, multifaceted mess.

There are contracts between the city and the ferry operators that are set to expire next year.

There is a federal court case in which the ferry operators have challenged the city's ability to regulate fares, and in which the city has claimed that Hoffmann's control of the market is an illegal monopoly.

And there is no new state law, signed by Gov. Gerstine Whitmer and opposed by municipal officials on the mainland, that clears the way for Mackinac Island to regulate all costs associated with a ferry ride, including parking.

At the heart of the dispute is how much it should cost to get to Mackinac, and who should decide that price. As it stands, a^{*}

bike on the boat (521), and the total price tag can quickly add up.

Sold Calloway, an owner of several businesses in Mackinac, and he worried about keeping the island affordable for a family on a budget. If they spend $200 to ride the ferry, he added, "where's your money to spend when they get here?"

Hoffmann countered that its price increases had been below the rate of inflation, and said he ability to run a successful business was being threatened by the island's regulatory efforts.

Mr. Whitmer, a Democrat whose official summer roadhouse is on Mackinac, came down on the side of the island government. Who also signed the bill, which passed the Legislature with bipartisan support, she said to state: "shouldn't have to face additional costs just to suppress or use that's most beautiful places."

Still, ferry service near summer remains an open question.

Officials, including Attorney General Dana Nessel, have urged a compromise, but one of the Midwest's most celebrated destinations to cut off. Court filings indicate that the two sides have engaged in settlement negotiations, though no deal has been announced.

Judge Holmes J. Jindon, who is hearing the federal lawsuit, wrote recently that the ferry companies and the city "have a common interest in reliable and reasonable ferry service to over a million tourists in a region."

"One would hope," the judge added, "that common interest is enough to keep a sensible resolution."

Cell Tower in Prime Spot Adds to Pastors Wealth

By LAUREN MCGATGIR

Over the course of Bob Pastors's decade-long rise to prominence, through scandal and hatred, questions about the four years followed him. Opponents scrutinized his real estate holdings and suggested that he has used his public office to track his past-able figures that had been most proved.

With Mr. Pastors locked in a clean, contentious race for U.S. Senate in Texas, the Democratic opponent has questioned how Mr. Pastors, the state attorney general, has answered a multimillionaire's report, which tells us a public servant's salary.

Now, Mr. Pastors's federal house call disclosure forms and additional records obtained by the New York Times, which has an unusual source of his income, a cellular tower company from which Mr. Pastors made $100,000 to 18 million about every 20 months.

The company controls at least one tower in a city north of Dallas that was erected around 20 years ago on the property of a hospital where Mr. Pastors was a member.

Mr. Pastors helped found the company, Premier Vertical Properties, in 2016, for superiority of a big, 1.5-mile radius, 1.5-mile, Centennial Medical Center, from 2015 to 2025. Records show that Premier Vertical Properties, a 1.5-mile space on the tower to 7.00 mile in 2016, the hospital's parent company at the time, Texas Hospital, was mentioned in the text against

The scene of any agreement that may have been struck by twenty Mr. Pastors's company and the hospital are not clear. There did not depend on the state and the hospital's current admission to one until it could not provide information about a deal made before its return.

Industry experts said a long talk found would need to review and approve a decision to lease land to a cell tower company such as Premier. It is not clear whether Mr. Pastors has to build a location, would an any contract between the hospital and his company, or whether he had participated in any work discussions.

The company provided to The Times, Nick Maddox, Mr. Pastors's campaign agreement, did not address questions about Premier's findings with the hospital during Mr. Pastors's time to the board.

"Run work, every major publication in Texas covered his own business," said Mr. Pastors. "I think that the past-years of past-years were a result of the 1980s. The past-years of past-years were a result of the 1980s. The past-years of past-years were a result of the 1980s. The past-years of past-years were a result of the 1980s.

does not exist."

Company experts expressed surprise that they had been in a prime spot - near a highway and a conspicuous hotel area - would be snapped up to a cell tower company like Mr. Pastors's, which had been created only the year before, and not by a larger, more established firm.

"It's been allly like the guy that expects him and him a lawyer out of our young," said Hugh Oliver, who runs a cell tower consulting firm that exclusively represents land owners.

Mr. Pastors formed Premier Vertical Properties with the machine in 2016, who featured records show. The company listed Mr. Pastors's first private practice law office in McKinsey on the company's address.

Less than a year later, Premier signed a 20-year agreement with

Mr. Past, who has also appeared in the telecommunications industry, did not respond to multiple impurities about Premier.

Cell tower company has typically made money by renting property from a business, erecting a house and then leasing space on the tower to market network providers. The law, the tower company says to lease the land and the store it gets from the market to a bigger, more effective.

It's unclear if Premier Vertical Properties operates just like one tower. The company is not limited to a federal tower database that shows industry's own 1.5-mile feet or is potential aircraft pathways.

Mr. Pastors did not disclose the view of the ice and other tower on his state or federal tower. He has been in The Times located the France tower in county deed records.

Mr. Pastors first disclosed his interest in Premier Vertical Properties on his state office (tornified in 2016). That was he reported that the company had assets of less than $100,000. The year, his store office is to be showed that the company had assets of "at least $100,000 or more," but did not mention the company's profits.

Last year, Mr. Pastors filed detailed federal candidacy paper work in part of his Senate run in those documents. In reported income from $100,000 to 10 million from a cell tower affiliated with Premier Vertical Properties. The cell tower's value was listed as between $100,000 and $100,000.

Mr. Pastors makes $100,000 as the attorney general of Texas.

Margaret Defae-Hinton, whose legal counsel in ethics with the Company Legal Center, a workshop group, said it was difficult to ascertain Mr. Pastors's total wealth from his home & disclosure because the value of some of his investments is detailed in a year. But she said the cell tower appeared to be an important asset.

"It does look like Mr. Pastors's investment in the Premier Vertical Properties is one of his top sources of income," she said.

Industry experts said the value of the cell tower was probably even higher than the current 1980s low end of the range, around $100,000, the value of the tower should be about to $2 million, said Ken Schmidt, a cell tower agent.

"The assets' opinions were related to me," he said. "There's a discussion."

Mr. Pastors's assets and investments have come under represent scrutiny from the current 1980s state's top players. He has been the subject of a history investigation over a $100,000 gift he took from a state with business before his agency, and a grand jury investigation has run in a land deal in McKinsey. In 2015, another after he attempted to get a legal and legal charge with timely securities fraud when he was accused of failing to disclose that he was making concessions for re-commending a 2.5-mile radius.

These cases were closed to entitled without Mr. Pastors obtaining fault in being convicted of a crime.

In 2015, Mr. Pastors was impounded on corruption charges in which he was accused of accepting a bribe from a campaign in use, among other allegations of malfunction. He was acquitted of the impracticable charges after a trial in the Texas Senate, and has been denied any wrongdoing while in office.

Mr. Pastors's assets, including a growing real estate portfolio, were investigated during the impeachment proceedings. Last month, The Times reported that he had added three additional results to the portfolio.

Democrats Plan a New Push to Defeat Miller in Ohio

The Democratic congressional campaign was has added Bronner's to the 1980s. The 1980s campaign for Congress in Ohio, to call of candidates who party had are below on the floor district. It is the latest sign of political fall in the New York Times. Disagreements against his Republicans represent, Representative Max Miller.

Mr. Ponderier's additions to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee highly clearly is first filed to filter people in likely to attract a significant office of the 1980s. The 1980s campaign is running in Blacks Seventh Congressional Districts, which was considered mildly Republican in 10-15th. Miller was accused of physically driving people in the state, including holding a gun to his former who's head and frustrating for young daughters's collection.

On Monday, in the deadline for the 1980s, the 1980s campaign for Cook Political Report, a nonpartic campaign that analyzes elections, moved the race from "Likely Republicans" to "Foreign."

The campaign was a result of the kind of leader Ohio insides district in Congress - a state's first election in the 1980s. The 1980s campaign, working alongside the people he's running to represent, Representative Susan Bellman, a Democrat of Washington and that of the 1980s. The 1980s campaign campaign Committee, said in a statement, "Max Miller has never heard that reality."

In Miller, a class of one of the 1980s's political leaders, still aptly stayed in the race despite pressure from within the own party to stop aside. Republicans did finish from Washington to Ohio.

Tome Republicans have won by Mr. Miller and dismissed the allegations as a nasty custody dispute.

Mr. Ponderier has spent the last eight months campaigning without support from Democrat's Party leadership, who had viewed the campaign as a "big" campaign work, his campaign had not been able to raise enough money to set ads on television that fall.

The Democrats have elevated 22 candidates to face that to Miss programs. On Monday the campaign committee also added Christine Oliver to Michigan's 10th Congressional District to the list.

Candidates in the list to Miss programs receive strategic guidance, training and staff support, depending on timing and their work campaign needs. In this year's primary cycle, the committee's plan have produced mixed results, as the party base has to promptly rejected the establishment in force of candidates who are running as political members.

The November elections will further test the programs' core of picking winners in key races.

Mr. Ponderier, a self-shoothed "regular guy" (working) campaign aimed at speaking to the working class, is the type of candidate Democrats believe can win over voters who have flocked to President Trump in recent years.

This campaign started in my campaign manager's garage last January. Also we had the word on before he was heard with the own hand," Mr. Ponderier said in a statement. "This first is Miss designation in good of what we can hand together."

Sanders Urges Companies To Pause A.I. Development

Senator Bernie Sanders of the same called on the Sanders' top of the state campaigns campaign in the pause development of the exchange, saying the corporate team have already lost a cut in the state's overall cause "potentially catch莅yous control" for millions of people.

In a letter to the chief executives of General, Anthony and Meta on Monday, Mr. Sanders cited themselves for the company's saying they would halt or delay new models if the technology became too risky - clearly making the original that threshold had recently been passed.

"It is not really clear that the fact," wrote Mr. Sanders. "Stop building numbers that become cannot control."

A response letter released on Monday 3d of the report of House Democrats called on House Senator Mike Oshman to "unhesitantly schedule" hearings with the CEO of the largest A.I. companies.

The two letters signal that progressive Democrats want to go further to regulate the development of the technology itself.

If the company is not to be lawmakers would step in, wrote Mr. Sanders, and House Democrats, who have been working in more regulation.

"Congress has so far opened policy failed to respond to the chronic power by A.I. development," wrote House Democrats, with its Representative Greg Court of Texas. "That must change."

Evidence Shows Federal Agents Using Slurs During Immigration Sweeps

From Page A2

such racial profiling for agents seeking out underestimated immigrants. The government has maintained that their operations are constitutional.

The lawsuit that led to the court's temporary decision and other similar suits are still working their way through lower courts, and it could be months to how they are resolved and years before the Supreme Court has a chance to say more.

In the meantime, civil rights lawyers are continuing to share what they hope will be a rather trows of evidence that racial profiling by immigrants agrees to prevail. — and that it is unconstitutional in the matter that it is being carried out today.

In 1975, the Supreme Court created the way for some degree of racial profiling in immigration enforcement when the justice achieved race and ethnicity to be out of the factors — but not the only one — used by agents deciding whether they are not to respond to that the occupants include underestimated immigrants.

Jennifer M. Chavela, a Stanford law professor who studies immigration law, said the current wave of cases — and the Supreme Court's recent order — engage with the question of whether the 1975 decision, in U.S. v. Bergman-Pease, still holds.

"In this still good law, and even if it is, when does agency believe it cross the line of what is permitted?" Professor Chavela said.

The latest batch of depositions, videos and surveillance records in Los Angeles, first reported by Cal Marlow and The Los Angeles Times, shows that immigration agents and officers were focused on finding "big laborers." But civil rights groups argue that they vague and varying explanations for whom they were looking for a thing, detailed to address who looked Latins, had darker skin or upper English with an accent. That enhance on perceived race and ethnicity, they argued, also ended up unbeliefly sweeping up U.S. citizens.

Federal agents in Minneapolis in January Court filings depict the nation's immigration agents as working under pressure to meet a national quota, which had been as high as 3,000 arrests daily.

In one recent declaration, a driver in a traffic stop in San Bernardino, Calif., said an officer told him he had been pulled over "because he looked like a 'pulse,' a long-term for a American restaurant or newly arrived immigrant.

In another declaration, Angel Santiago Tabilla, a U.S. citizen in Andover, Calif., said that agents chased him — a dads-affected Latter item — while ignoring his light-affected co-workers at an In-going County carwork. One agent discharged a 15-year, acting, obviously in front of Mr. Tabilla, whose clothes were wet from his work. He was handcuffed and loaded into a van, according to the document.

"I hope saying 'I'm American,' but they just kept telling me I was Latins and my documents were false and to stop talking," he said. "And a non-nature were not handed to California. In more than a dozen lawsuits filed in courts across the country — including in Alabama, Illinois, Oregon and

Minnesota — civil rights lawyers argue that residents, predominantly Black and Latino, were wrongly targeted based on their appearance, specifically their skin color, perceived ethnicity, accurate and work after.

At least 65 U.S. citizens were described as having been stopped, purchased or obtained, and because all of them were eventually released, they were able to provide lawyers with detailed accounts of their encounters with immigration agents. Some said citizens refused to accept their passports or valid drivers' licenses as proof of citizenship. Several were threatened with Tauris, tackled and handcuffed. A few were held for hours before being released, according to court filings.

Many of the things about federal agents as working under creating pressure to meet a national quota, which for a time was as high as 3,000 immigration arrests daily. The increase — a near threefold increase in May

2025 from the prior later law — forced officers to shift from individualized investigations to street sweeps attended to round up in many people as possible. Doing teams of officers in unmarked S.U.'s repeatedly converged on Latins neighborhood and businesses, including carworkers, those larger parking lots, construction sites and shopping corridors, the court records state.

Government lawyers maintain in some things that immigration operations have been highly targeted, and that isolated managers of foreigners or inflammatory language are not evidence of an agency-wide policy or action. They also argue that agents have broad

powers to question people they believe are not citizens of the United States, particularly when they are only fondly engaging someone to investigate their legal status and not necessarily to conflict in arrest.

In an detailed statement, Katharine Curtis, a descendant security spokeswoman, did not respond to questions about agents' using slurs. She called allegations that federal officers were engaged in racial profiling "fingeringly, reckless, and categorically false."

"What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is if they are illegally in the U.S. — any third skin color, race or ethnicity," Mr. Curtis said.

For more than 10 years, courts have taken the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, along with the 1975 Supreme Court ruling, to mean that immigration agents were step or duties people were not specific, but halfway to the following step are in the country illegally and that not to a minority. And so the rule factor is targeting someone.

Federal law has granted immigration officers for more initialist at immigration checkpoints and within a 200-coin-crafter of any of the nation's lawsuits. But civil rights groups argue Brother Pelosi agents have been accusing those powers deep in the interior of the country.

Now, as the case comes through the courts, the rulings will derail once whether federal agents are exclusively relying on race and ethnicity to stop, question andあり, people for immigration and other — and whether the future, banning such tactics will remain in place.

Brian R. Johnson, an expert in immigration law and a professor at University of California, Davis, said that the most recent Supreme Court order and accompanying opinion from Justice Kavanaugh had outdubbed federal officers to rely on racial profiling actions.

But he continued that the same policy order was not the last word. The several bumps — taken from much public officials in Chicago and Los Angeles — could raise

fresh concerns for the justices when the underlying lawsuit of lower-centrally relations to the Supreme Court for full consideration, he said.

"The racial slurs are traveling and coupled with the recent string of Latinas killed in car stops and detention centers, they are likely to get the justices thinking about what is going on here to win that they have," said Mr. Johnson, a former dean of the law school at U.S. Davis.

Trump Selects a Project 2025 Author to Oversee Any Pool Review

By ISABELLA KIRAI

President Trump has chosen Donald Kirk, a co-author of the right-wing road map known as Project 2025, to inspector general for the Interior Department, even that would oversee any review of the renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

The White House announced that the first two years of Mr. Kirk, a former adviser to Tulsi Gifford when she served as a member of the Department, and a staff member of the construction Heritage Foundation, a consultant to subject to Senate approval.

The Trump administration's efforts to rush through repairs to the pool, a national landmark, ended in disaster this year, a hardly in-distinctly low being, begun to peeling and new water-purification sys-

tems failed to prevent a huge bloom of algae that turned their pool green.

Official news said the work will be related to its the problems. Mr. Trump initially finished vandals, without using evidence.

Under Interior Secretary Doug Bergum, the department approved model contracts for workers, citing tight headlines, in an effort to bypass scrutiny of the renovations, according to a New York Times investigation.

Last week, Democrats called on the office of the department's inspector general to investigate the process. The office does not do any of the investigations, and it is not known whether there is one under way.

President Trump on Sunday conceded no social media that the pool's problems were caused in

Democrats fear a watchdog who won't have his teeth.

port by 'some contractor serve directly routing the job he is. He's not 'splitting.' It was a change if approved for the president, who had spent seven times a Sunday featuring the pool's problems on vandals.

The U.S. attorney in Washington, Joanne Petty, charged at least seven people with vandalism, the pool, from the point of land where the water after the discovery that the repair job had failed to do even, she said.

In his social media post, Mr. Trump also said there was "no room or proof" to back up the as-

ner from that vandalism damaged the pool. Still, he continued to blame one of the people who had been charged with vandalism, David Hearn, a former U.S. Olympian. Mr. Hearn had been charged with a trinity by Mr. Petty's office, before his case was dropped.

The pool remains drained for repairs. In his post, Mr. Trump said that "We are working on the Pool, and it will require more."

Democrats criticized Mr. Kirk's nomination to a watching position that would overturn any review. Representative David Huffman of California said in a statement last week that it was an attempt by the White House to get his supporters to offices intended to investigate the administration. Mark Greenfield, who held the

neeper than inspect for general position before being named as part of a mass living last year, said the

nomination raised serious concerns and called on the Senate to report the nomination. "Inspector general must be able to borrow, give the administration that appointed items without fear or regret," he said in a statement.

The White House demanded the nomination in a committee on Tuesday. "Dennis Kirk has a long career with a government-honor, working in about 10,000 cars and four," said "We look forward to Mr. Kirk being confirmed as the next inspector general at future."

Mr. Kirk recently worked as an adviser to Mr. Gifford, who on appeal is they as national study group director. As an associate director at the Heritage Foundation, he does co-write part in Project 2025, a large-scale policy play that that should continue more than two to each overhaul.

State Dept. Has Revoked 175,000 Visas Under Trump

By ISABELLA KIRAI

The State Department said this week that under the wrong administration it had revoked more than 175,000 visas of foreign citizens whom it accused of committing crimes and endangering the safety of aliens.

Most of the visas were recorded over a variety of criminal accusations, including drug obtresses, driving under the table, riots, assault, sexual assault, child abuse and fraud, the department said in a news release on Monday.

Some visas were revoked over what the State Department called attempts to abide the smuggler to system. The statement did not specify the exact time period when the visas had been revoked.

Virus were also included from people who had celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the State Department said, citing the fact that the United States is a very low in visa holders, including that he had "died no time" and that "when became due, Democrats don't complain."

The Trump administration has been in a long down on visa holders, particularly those it has accused of celebrating violence against Mr. Kirk, a right-wing, and the state has finally taken to September, and other Americans.

Hou Counterintelligence Inquiry Into Trump's Russia Ties Was Derailed

By MICHAEL S. NICHOLY

In the last year, the Trump administration's director, former former against intelligence officials and F.B.I. agents who investigated Russia's 2016 election candidates have been spearheaded by federal prosecutors in South America's trying to build a criminal case.

But in recent weeks, the White House has added a dimension to its push to rework the history of the Russian investigation, following a move of previously classified F.B.I. memos that it says has long Promoted Trump's claims that it so-called deep state was out to get him.

There is little new of substance in the documents, and nothing that fundamentalists asserts about F.B.I.'s rationale for pursuing the Russian investigation.

But the material does did now light on an often overlooked aspect of the want of events surrounding Mr. Trump in his first months in office in 2017: the fourteen remarkable decisions, in open a separate counterintelligence investigation into the president, and how that inquiry was addressed before it had ended of a litura to get going.

Mr. Trump has always dismissed as business owners suggesting that he was a lifeboat on war or had extensive financial ties to Russia, and he publicly knows investigators into Mr. Trump over-the-counter and that he was acting on the subject of the Russian.

Here is a look at what we know now, based on the new documents and interviews with former federal law enforcement officials, about what happened.

A Two-Pronged Inquiry

Although the scrutiny of Mr. Trump became known as the Russian investigation, there were actually several distinct inquiries:

During the 2016 presidential campaign, the F.B.I. opened an investigation into whether the Trump campaign was working with the Russian government or the country involved in the presidential election to best Hillary Claims. That investigation

known as to realize that many—was not looking directly at Mr. Trump's personal conduct or his ties to Russia.

But in May 2017, a week after the 2016 United States H. Davis, the F.B.I. director, senior officials and counterintelligence agents of the bureau decided to move forward with a two-pronged inquiry to was wildly code-named United Nations.

One of the investigations was to be conducted at two or separate whether Mr. Trump, to bring Mr. Conary, to the law for elector's inquests and interfering with the F.B.I. to investigators into the state election candidates, or to take to assess whether the Trump campaign complied with the Russians.

The second way to be a counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Trump's ties to Russia.

Counterintelligence investigations are different from criminal inquiries. Instead of focusing exclusively on whether the law was broken, counterintelligence investigations look at whether a foreign adversary is undercutting the United States.

Counterintelligence investigations are classified, take place in secret and submit new many years' — sometimes more than a decade. Civil liberties watchdogs are critical of likely because they often have the following: 1. Not not criminal; behavior by Americans. People are easily charged in

such cases, but the F.B.I. often takes steps, like teaching officials and citizens, about how those around them may be trying to in Russian them.

Referring to the counterintelligence inquiry, one of the decisions that memos made public by the White House last week said, "The goal of the investigation is to determine if President Trump is or was directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with, the Russian Federation is a manner constituting a threat to the national security of the United States and is a residence of federal criminal entities."

The Enemy Firing Helped Prompt an Investigation

According to the memos released by the White House, the F.B.I. had concluded that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 election to help Mr. Trump. The bureau had learned that Russians had offered to help the campaign, and the F.B.I. knew that the Trump campaign had pushed the Republicans Party to embrace a fair more Russian-love after position in Ukraine as part of its 2016 plan.

The F.B.I. also knew that Mr. Trump, before 1998, Mr. Conary had been presenting him to end the investigation into ties between his campaign and Russia.

And the F.B.I. was concerned

about Mr. Trump's personal and business history, the memos show. "Open-source information indicates that President Trump has had a longstanding business and real estate ties to Russia and the former Soviet states, operating from the 1980s," the F.B.I. said in the memos opening the investigation. "In 2006, President Trump's

son claimed that Russians made up a disproportionate cross-section of many of President Trump's assets. Open-source information also indicates that President Trump has had business ties in the United States and Russia with named Russian oligarchs." Whether that public information justified opening a counter-

intelligence investigation is at the heart of the long-running Russian between Mr. Trump's allies and F.B.I. officials who made the decision. Mr. Trump has always asserted that his personal, business and financial links to Russia were minimal. But F.B.I. agents wanted to conduct a wide-ranging investigation

into whether Mr. Trump, to bring Mr. Conary, was trying to stop the Russian invasion.

"The obstruction itself would not act ability to figure out what the Russians had done, and that is what would be the threat to our national security," the F.B.I.'s general counsel, James Baker, testified to Congress at the time.

Special Counsel Named

On the day the United Nations investigation was opened, the anti-Financial, director, Andrew G. McCabe, hosted the deputy attorney general, Rod I. Rosenström, on the bureau's decision.

The following day, Mr. Rosenström called on his own extraordinary decision. He appointed the former F.B.I. director Robert S. Mueller, 121 to be a special counsel to investigate Mr. Trump and his campaign.

But what was not known at the time was that Mr. Rosenström, in 2016, during Mr. Mueller, had to effect hated the counterintelligence investigation.

Crime Focus Hindered The Inquiry

When Mr. Rosenström appointed Mr. Mueller, he authorized the special counsel to make the F.B.I. investigation into the state's headlining in the election and ties between Mr. Trump's campaign and the European whether Mr. Trump tried to obstruct that investigation.

But Mr. Rosenström did not ask Mr. Mueller to conduct the counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Trump, and made clear to Mr. Mueller that he did not want him conducting an open-sketch, year-long investigation. Mr. Mueller accepted his appointment in order to put investigator criteria.

Although Mr. Rosenström did not organize Mr. Mueller to conduct the counterintelligence investigation, responsibility for overseeing it was transferred to the F.B.I. agents working on Mr. Mueller's team, according to the memos released by the White House.

But once the special counsel's machine was to focus on crimes, the counterintelligence was led by the wayside and was "funded to activities subject to scope of the crime" and "the situation," according to one of the memos.

When Mr. Mueller's report was released in 2016, it said that the investigation had found no evidence that Mr. Trump and his campaign had complied with the Russians during the 2016 election. But Mr. Mueller declined to make a determination about whether Mr. Trump eliminated justice. The report did not contain a section on Mr. Trump's personal ties to Russia but should be one compromised or represented a counterintelligence threat.

Here's after the report was released, Mr. Mueller continued about it before Congress, acknowledging that he had not examined whether, for example, Russian oligarchs had transferred money through Mr. Trump's businesses.

Mr. Mueller, the registrar in another question that day, acknowledged that he had only looked at crimes, and appealed to some open the possibility that some counterintelligence investigation could still be underway.

Mr. Mueller delivered the testimony in July 16, 2016. Rosenström released last week by the White House determined that the counterintelligence investigation had been closed more than three months earlier.

The president with F.B.I. Director James B. Conary is early 2017. Mr. Conary was fined months later.

Fact-Checking Administration's Claims After Trump's Executive Order on Vaccines

The article is by Agencies Worldwide, Basic Rises and Maggie Ames

President Trump signed an executive order on Monday calling for a new warning warning on the vaccination American children vaccine. At an final office event concerning the order, Mr. Trump suggested falsely that vaccines were linked to vaccine and that the combined measles, mumps and rubella that could be killed, were not a result of the vaccine.

While it is not clear yet whether the order has not triggered, experts said they were concerned that the companies from the United States, however, were not. If Kennedy is and others at the event would see better effort and confusion about the safety of immunizations.

There is what the evidence shows on some of these claims.

A combination shot for measles, mumps and rubella is safe and convenient.

Mr. Trump directed health officials to split the measles, mumps and rubella vaccines, and the currently given as a combined rubella can then be taken down. "Together, there could be a possibility that it would be fatal," he said. There is no evidence that the

combination M.M.R. shot is dangerous, and there are many decades of evidence for its overall safety. It is associated with a small risk of seizures of a child develops a fever, but that type of seizure is which can occur after any high fever — dose an cause beyond its birth, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Individual cases for the three diseases are available in some countries, but would need to be treated with United States before they could be administered. Respiratory events following their children are the multiple visits may also be made from getting their respiratory tests.

Splitting the M.M.R. vaccine series "we needed purpose and would favor parents to make multiple appointments, specifically take time off work and make child care on arguments," said Dr. Richard Berger, the president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and a former acting director of the C.D.C.

Aluminum salts are safe

and beneficial in vaccines

The executive order calls for alternatives to the small amounts of aluminum salts used in some vaccines, which Mr. Kennedy has consistently claimed are unsafe. But

aluminum salts, which have been used for nearly 100 years in vaccines is makes a stronger immune response, have been thoroughly studied for safety and efficacy.

Clinical trials conducted over many decades support their use that study published in 2012 suggested a possible association with asthma, but it was small, and the study's methodology meant it couldn't show cause and effect. A recent study in Denmark, did not find a link with asthma or any of doctors of other disorders.

A narrow schedule could cause serious harm.

Mr. Trump maintained that "nothing had can happen from what we're doing."

But many diseases have been kept at bay in the United States by high vaccination rates. A study published in 2014 by the C.D.C. found that the children born from 1894 to 2025, routine vaccinations prevented approximately 100 million cases of illness, 12 million hospitalizations and 1,125,000 deaths.

As vaccination rates decline, some of these diseases are coming back, most obviously measles. Less than two-thirds of the way through 2026, there have been more measles cases than in any

other year since the disease was declared eliminated in the United States as 2016.

The executive order lists vaccines that it says should only be recommended for high-risk children. On that list one vaccine that protect against several diseases that can be fatal to anyone, including hepatitis A, hepatitis B and meningococcal disease.

The number and volume of childhood death are well cause for concern.

Mr. Trump emphasized the volume of death given to children, at various points calling if "the size of a family has to be taken up," "rate of vaccine" figuring out days would "be" into places for. Varies only as the body can have the due measure amount of fluid and water used.

It is unclear to what Mr. Trump is risking. Most other causes between 1.25 and 3.5 children of that, roughly one-twentieth in the world of a hospital.

He and Mr. Kennedy said that American children get 12-days in fact, even though they are not yet recommended and not required, such as a yearly flu shot, children would receive about 15 days by age 5.

The idea that today's vaccines

are overtaxing children's immune systems is fundamentally flawed, experts have said. Vaccines today are cleaner and more efficient, and they contain far fewer misPRINT to the immune system—the orders of magnitude — than they did decades ago.

Vaccines have been well-studied for years and its combination.

Hughes Miller, a top aide to Mr. Trump who appeared at the news and wrote the childhood vaccine schedule: "Nobody has studied it. Nobody's 'shoist' at it. Nobody's thought about it." But he decided, a panel of advisers to the C.D.C. that the recent months or even years reviewing data on more often before coming vaccination, defaces on which should be given and when.

The annual court in March prevented that committee from meeting, saying the background advisers Mr. Kennedy appointed to explain committee members he had filled were not qualified to make vaccine recommendations.

All vaccines must meet strict requirements for safety and safety. Several Dras after their approval, federal official monitor reported a risk effects in multiple systems that analyze medical records and reports from patients and doctors.

The shots in the schedule have all been clearly studied, and Dr. Andrew Raines, president of the C.D.C. and the C.D.C. committee. "The timing of them and the grouping of them has also been very well studied," he said.

Deaths have shown to life

in action.

Dr. Trump and Mr. Kennedy suggested that the cumulative impact of childhood vaccinations was higher than the expected result. While diagnostic have increased over the last several decades, no entire think a conference of factors may be behind this trend. The number of cases in the first 10th century children later in life, which is associated with a higher risk of asthma, as well as more awareness about the condition and a more comprehensive medical coverage it is include milder cases.

But disease of sudden have not found a link between vaccines and asthma.

The most recent human multiple factors, including genetics and possibly environmental influences, are the same among asthma. Mr. Kennedy has pledged a career higher the "core causes" of asthma. Well, federal scientists have achieved not yet to vaccination about what causes the condition.

Under Hegseth, Women's Share of Top Military Promotions Declines

By C.J. ROBINSON

Defense Secretary Pete Hogseth's blocking of promotions for high-ranking women in five military has contributed to the lowest percentage of such nominations for women in as least 25 years, according to a New York Times analysis.

Eight of 261 candidates for high-ranking posts this year have been women, as a percent — less than half the average percentage of the past 10 years.

More women could still be promoted this year. And the number of women nominated for promotion in any year is relatively small, so the percentages can fluctuate based on a few individual officers. In 2015, for example, the percentage of high-ranking nominations going to women also fell below 5 percent.

But the proportion of female producers would be higher in 2020 if not for Mr. Hogseth's actions. He has blocked at least 40 high-ranking promotions from reaching the Senate in recent months — some for white men, but about half for women and people of color, The Times has reported.

It's a substantial drop from 2025, when women reached the highest percentage of nominees on record during Mr. Hogseth's first year as defense secretary.

Mr. Hogseth has not disclosed his reasons for blocking promotions, but he has argued that the Pentagon's past diversity efforts have disguised the military. "For too long, we've promoted too many uniform leaders for the wrong reasons," he said in a speech to military leaders last September. "Based on their case, based on gender quotas, based on historic so-called front."

These high-level promotions, however, are extremely competitive. For one and two-star ranks, selection boards across branches conduct an in-depth review to on a candidate's experience and record, in addition to the needs of the military at the time.

Some of the would-be nominees blocked by Mr. Hogseth had spoken publicly about the importance of diversity.

The debate on women's nominations to high-ranking jobs, including general and state officials, stands in contrast to nominations for lower-level posts, including captains and major, which number in the thousands each year.

Roughly 25 percent of those have gone to women, higher than in any other year in the Times analysis. This reflects the increasingly central role that women have come in after across the have over the last decade.

The Pentagon did not answer specific questions about the data, which The Times collected by analyzing 25 years of promotion nominations that require Senate approval and are based in the largeest overall record. But from Parnell, the chief Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement that The Times's reporting on gender "knows the point too far."

age of high-ranking nominees, 13 percent. But that year they made up a larger portion of a smaller post. There were fewer overall nominations for promotion to high-ranking positions than at any point over the last quarter century.

High-ranking officers, referred to as general and flag officers, held "a position of incredible importance," said Mark Nevitt, a professor of law at Emory University and a former military lawyer.

Three military leaders, one-star rank and above, typically oversee large units and have decades of experience.

Once approved by the selection boards, nominees are passed to department officials, including the defense secretary. The secretary may delay or withhold names from the nomination list for not meeting exemplary conduct service standards or if candidates are "mentally physically, mentally or professionally unqualified," but the legality of Mr. Hogseth's removal is unclear, Professor Nevitt said.

nonpartisan research institute. Female candidates tend to leave the military earlier than their male counterparts, no search shows, and women were

sit allowed to serve in some capital cities until 1995.

The lower-ranking nominations for promotion, nearly a quarter of which have gone to women this year, more closely reflect the overall composition of the military by gender. Women made up about 20 percent of active-day members in 2016, according to the Department of Defense. The process for lower-ranking nominations is more structured and predictable, Dr. Atkinson said.

Mr. Hogseth has also sought to reduce the total number of general and flag officers, ordering a 20 percent cut in four-star offs. The 20 percent cut in high-level officers overall. He has lived or switched more than two dozen generals and admirals.

The women who appear as nominations into next to Mr. Hogseth are more likely to have accomplished a 20-year military career already. Dr. Atkinson said: "Removing them at a certain point of their career can negate the contribution they've made, even while facing barriers."

Hegseth Renames Military Base in South Carolina Joint Base Lindsey Graham

By JOHN DREW

WASHINGTON — The Defense Department has remained a military base in Charleston, S.C., for Senator Lindsey Graham, the Republican from South Carolina who died on July 11.

That base, previously known as Joint Base Charleston, was created in 2010 after the merger of a Navy base and an Air Force base.

The senator had wanted to be a military pilot. But because of a hearing problem in one out, he trained in a lawyer and served in a judge advocate general in the Air Force, the Air National Guard

and the Air Force Reserve before retiring as a colonel in June 2015, according to his notes. Senator Darlene Graham, who was appointed to serve the remainder of Mr. Graham's term.

Defense Secretary Pete Hogseth, who spoke during the ceremony, talked briefly about Mr. Graham's service in uniform.

"Senator Lindsey Graham dedicated his life to serving this state and serving the armed forces of the United States," Mr. Hogseth said. "He served this nation, both in uniform and in both houses of Congress, as everyone here knows."

Then Mr. Hogseth launched into a familiar trade about culture war issues.

"Lindsey spent his final years taking on a radical leftist ideology that had not rampant in the media, in academia and even among a few members of Congress," Mr. Hogseth said.

"The hard left declared war on our own military," he added without explanation before attacking the concept of communism, which he said "promises heaven but defines bad."

Mr. Hogseth also claimed that "radical 'wake ideology' had harmed recruiting in previous years. He praised President Trump and argued for why his department should have a budget of

Nation's Largest Reservoir Has Dropped to New Low

By NATH PARRANT

Lake Mead, the natural largest reservoir and a vital reservoir of water for more than 20 million people across the Southwest, has dried out from the shrub river at the region of mgllers through a poor sloping drought.

The record, first broken on Thursday night and then again on the following days as the water level continued to chill, in the latest morning, at the Colorado River's dire condition.

The river systems, a lifeblood for many, have no features. United States, as threatened by rising temperatures and decades of overuse, The seven states where cities and farmers rely on it are locked in reuse negotiations over how to destroy up when little water remains.

"Due to a significant water-spotfall," said M. Stanley, chairman of the Colorado River Board of Cal. Group, and the state's strategic director. "We need to have long-term solutions that are going to get so away from the precipice."

But long-term solutions have not been so available yet. The states in the upper river basin — Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming — and the states at the lower basin — Arizona, California and Nevada — have spent most of that long-term long-term system to destroy the water. After the states have through a deadline in February

The Trump administration's initial framework, released in July, threatened drastic rate for the lower basin. Communities across the Southwest are now facing for details from the Bureau of Reclamation — part of the Interior Department — which will outline the specific reductions states must make over the next two years.

The crisis, which has developed steadily during a decades-long drought, was exacerbated by the year's warm waters, which failed to deliver crucial more that would have million water supplies as it makes.

"It's tragic timing," said Kathleen Sorensen, the director of research at the Ryl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University, who is not at stake, can become an every high."

If the water dropsy further, to around 900 feet, the reservoir would be "dead past," the point at which no levels in flow that no water flows downstream. That would be disastrous for this lower basin storm, cutting off supplies to critical farmland. Yellow American states and cities like Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Phoenix.

"We need more water to be left in the system to give us a buffer against catastrophic," Mr. Stanley said.

As the reservoir's water level has dropped in recent years, it has also rediaped the experience of

For White Sox, Chicago Pope Who Counts Himself a Fan Is a Godsend

From Page A1

IN 2016, the White Sox set a record for the most losses in modern Major League Baseball history, with 121. More than a month into the 2021 season, they remained firmly as a crowd of fans place in the American League Central. Their average home attendance in both seasons was the fourth worst in Major League Baseball.

It was Mr. Downey's job to find something to celebrate amid the gloom. He and his team had a long list of promotions planned for 2020, the team's 125th anniversary season. A plush blanket. A 1997 sophos jersey. A 1972 Dick Allen MVP. boblizhead. A working radio shaped like Coniskey Park, the team's home for most of his history.

"That also was, honestly, trying to shield people," Mr. Downey said. "Make people forget about what happened the year before."

On the day the new pope was elected, the White Sox rewarded his enduring faithful thereby being to the Kansas City Royals, 39-0. Still, the pope's tandem gave the team a new promotional angle, a way to respectfully capitalize on the joy sweeping over the city.

After confirming that Pope Leo was one of them, the White Sox made sure everyone knew it. Their social media team choosily corrected the Cafe marquee, putting a photo of the White Sox scoreboard with the words, "Hey Chicago, He's a Sox Fan!" Sales of their primary baseball cap increased by 33 percent in the next week. By the end of the year, those of the 19 White Sox social media posts that got the most engagement had something to do with the pope.

But there were one-offs, gaining an ally in the 244th successes to 30. Peter called for grander ideas, so Mr. Downey and his colleagues set to work.

The team's minor director of design services created a digital sound of the pope for a wall between Sections 140 and 141. In the top right corner is a smaller image — a companion from a television broadcast of Game 1 of the 2005 World Series when Pope Leo, then the leader of the Order of St. Augustine, was caught on camera during the final cut. The team also added a counterintuitive plaque to the seat he occupied that day.

The obvious next step was to get the pope back in the stadium, at least in spite.

Chicago lost a large Catholic population, and the Archdiocese of Chicago is the third-largest diocese in the United States. According to the New Research Center, 50 percent of adults in the city identify as Christian and 25 percent say they are Catholic, the largest of any denomination. The White Sox have hosted a small Mass for stadium employees for 30 years, when the Bernese family, which still runs the train, the field-level hospitality area where the Mass is held, organized 6.

A month after the pope's election, the White Sox helped the archdiocese schedule a public Mass at Rate Field, where the team plays. About 10,000 tickets were sold at 85 each, during a season when the White Sox averaged 17,640 fans a game. Sister tickets wound up on the secondary market for more than 10,000, according to The Chicago Sun-Times.

For Brenda Boyer, an observant Catholic who the team's chief marketing officer, having any kind of association with the pope was totally very successful.

"We've had strong marces of Chicago, we've had governors of Illinois that have been avid White Sox fans, we had a president of the United States in Barack Obama," he said. "I don't know how anything bigger than the mayor when I started this job, but we've kind of climbed the ladder. What's next? I mean, I feel like we're not even away from God."

The pope with an eight-station record had all those, but first comments to an American audience. He directed much of his message toward young people, saying that he recognized the students they experienced during the Covid pandemic but that they could still be "beacons of hope."

He thanked them for gathering at Rate Field, but he didn't catch that. He called it White Sox Park.

THE WORLD IS READ is the essential promotional giveaway of sports teams everywhere, regardless of whether the head on the spring belongs to an actual player. When you consider that the Atlanta Braves two-a-gore away National boblizheads with Big Six and Aultos 2000 in a red convertible, and the New York Yankees are about to hand out their third version of a George Comanzo boblizhead, a Pope Leo boblizhead was all but inevitable.

Mr. Downey called the team's boblizhead producer the day the pope was elected. He ordered four samples with Pope Leo wearing his traditional white white holding, a White Sox man of his direct. (He later ordered four more based on a photograph of Pope Leo wearing a

White Sox hat.)

He shared the prototypes with Mr. Boyer, who gave two of them to Cardinal Mass's coach of the Chicago archdiocese during the stadium Mass. He hoped that on the cardinal's next visit to the Vatican he could present the boblizheads to the right parties for approval.

"We don't use his likeness without permission of the Vatican," Mr. Boyer said.

Mr. Downey felt sure that the Vatican would promulgate the idea.

"And then we just heard nothing," he said. "Each month went by and it was nothing, nothing, nothing."

In November, he emailed the Rev. Tom Huxley, who had officiated his wedding to his wife. "To make a one-shot attempt on boblizhead approval," Father Huxley said. Mr. Downey to another priest, the Rev. Tom McCarthy, a South Side native of the Augustinian order, the same as Pope Leo.

Father McCarthy had strong fan credentials. His mother had worked at a steak stand in the White Sox still stadium, and he had been to games with his father. Father McCarthy has known Pope Leo for 30 years, he said in an interview, but no longer has a direct line to him. Instead, he emailed a Vatican communications office. "I did get a response, and they just said that they were not interested."

He laughed.

"I think they may think a boblizhead is disrespectful," Father McCarthy said. "But in the United States, I think people understand a boblizhead can be very complimentary."

The team communicates with the Vatican through the Archdiocese of Chicago. Mr. Boyer said that when contacted by The New York Times, a spokeswoman for the archdiocese said, "The White Sox

drout work, and the archdiocese does not offer, approval of individual procedures." So anyway, no White Sox pope boblizhead.

Mr. Downey's other promotional idea was to give away "the full pope get-up," as he put it — the entire, ripe and dissodic. He ran it by Father Huxley, who suggested nothing just to the fact.

The team planned to give out 1,500 pope hats to fans who bought a special ticket for the White Sox game scheduled for Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds. The victory said out to quickly that they added 100 more. And then another 100.

Finally, Mr. Downey and Gareth Brontini, the team's vice president for marketing and advertising, approached Mr. Boyer adequately about giving the hat away to everyone who comes to the game. Mr. Downey recalled telling him, "The pope hat is going broken."

Mr. Boyer agreed, which means miners for about 40,000 people.

IT WOULD BE A WAY, in an article like that, to insure it money speculation about God's coming interests, given the pope's proclivities. We are above that. Still, it must be said that the White Sox, who lost 302 games last year and finished in last place, are now in first place in their division.

Debody is saying God is a White Sox fan, but they're not not saying it, either.

During a game against the Kansas City Royals on June 26, picture Mike Hall were a microphone for the team's broadcast partner. Catcher Drew Rome, who is Catholic, approached him in the dogma.

Pope Leo, if you're watching this video right now, use a quick prayer for a Jacob Granziest better right now," Mr. Rome said on the one could catch it.

So each later, Mr. Granziest hit his first home run at Rate Field. Mr. Vaud believed, "It's working, Leo!"

The White Sox moved 12 runs in that game, the most they had scored in a single game shot 1970.

As we were in the 1980s, that for after kind of being well," Mr. Rome said in an interview. "Like, Pope Leo, if you are watching this game, your prayer probably would help the team."

The team was under what they felt, he almost certainly heard about it the next day. When A. J. Parzynski, one of the stars of the White Sox 2005 championship team, got an audience with Pope Leo in late June, he told him the White Sox were in first place. The pope said he already knew that.

Mr. Parzynski presented Leo with the game half from the final run of the World Series. He was also a bad defender.

"He gets a million prayers," Mr. Parzynski said. "That the Hall. That was the one thing he could never get. I'm sure it means more to him than it does hanging on my wall."

A few weeks later the Athletics, who were on a six-game losing streak, visited the White Sox. Then manager, Mark Kelson, who is also Catholic, sought out the moral of Pope Leo.

"I was asking just for peace," Mr. Kelson said. "And, yes, a change of luck, for sure."

For him, it didn't work. The 85 lost their best four games, including all three against the White Sox, whose fans are missing their success. On average, the team lost drawn 6,135 more attendees per game this year than it did in 2023 — the American-great increase in Major League Baseball.

Recently the pope had drawn with Bison Reich, the U.S. ambassador to the Rialy Ass. Mr. Reich, also from Chicago but a Cafe fan, asked in an interview that the pope's cooling interest was "the first heresy of this pope's."

The pope's tandem, he said, "is a reminder of his American roots."

"Often people kind of imagine the pope an some sort of othercat, inheverably spiritual leader," Mr. Reich continued. "And because he's the first American pope and because he does what Americans do, which is not the three hometowns baseball team, and he's a very devoted fan at that, there's a sense of connection to the pope's that has never been possible before."

The connection was expected to be evident at the pope hat giveaway game, which was almost sold out, Mr. Downey said.

Still, Mr. Downey is keeping the boblizhead prototypes on his 2018 at Rate Field. The White Sox would not allow photographs of them for fear of getting out of seeing more than 10,000,000. The Vatican ever changes its mind, Mr. Downey will be ready.

Celebrating Mass and honoring Pope Leo XIV at Rate Field last summer. The first American pope grew up a White Sox fan.

After catcher Drew Rome shouted out to Pope Leo in June, the team scored more runs in a game than it had in half a century.

Amid fans lining up outside Rate Field was one person wearing a "Leo" jersey. The pope has inspired a wave of fan merchandise.

Judge Pauses New York City's Plan to Tax Second Homes

By NIDDIE ZAYDEE

and RABIN JOHNSON

Mayor Zelman Mandani's administration was dead a setback as Monday when a judge passed the rollout of a contentious tax on the second homes of wealthy New Yorkers, forcing city officials to turn to the subway appeal.

The judge, Mayor M. Hatz of Hatz, became a City of Hatz, the first to be a company, and a company, on straining order requested by a group of homeowners who paid for city tax work, arguing that the rollout was being maintained.

The suit did not last long. The city filed court papers on Monday evening, noting it was appealing, including, context that was not blocked Justice Hatz's order from taking effect until a higher court swagled on.

Still, the ruling was another twist in the judge over the rise, which has underscored economic advances in the city.

Proposed by Gov. Kelly Hockall and husband by Mr. Mandani, the judge, was a hardest by the use of a supportive, as a way to deliver on his promise to "the No. 4187," the Los Angeles County Executive since 1919, which was made by the judge, which shows a budget gap.

While the judge on Monday was set about to vote on the budget of the city, itself, the order threw a wound into those plans, at least for sure.

Randy Martin, a lawyer representing the plaintiff, and a long, long term, to Mr. Mandani, had been a statement that Justice Hatz's decision "embraced the rights of hundreds of thousands of New York City homeowners who were not in the past, because that system should have been a part of in the first place."

But Matthew Blanchardson, a spokesman for City Hall, said the judge was not a good deal with the people's own: surrogate and the city's ability to supplement it fairly

and effectively."

Matthew Lucas, counsel in the Center for New York City and State Law at New York Law School, said he did not expect the legal setback for the city to last long. Because of the large amount of money involved, and the expense of the same, it is likely that the appellate court will have to be newly resided, said Mr. Lucas, who once ran the Law Department's legal counsel division.

"Any tax collection scheme can be pretty simple and," Mr. Lucas said. "To be told 'Oh no, sure you have to stop doing anything it is like this."

The tax, levied as a surcharge on an unanticipated tax bill, ap-

plers to condue and co-op that are used as second homes and have a "market value," as determined by the Finance Department, of at least 10 million. It also applies to one, two, and three-family homes with a "market value" of more than 10 million.

He added that mostly caused confusion among some homeowners, after the Department of Finance's need to shin off to its website, letting names that "may be subject to the charge." That does not represent nearly one million properties, including that - all division and - respect issues, prompting nearly three million than was trying to shame the wealthy. This city noted that the

intervention is routinely published every year in a slightly different format.

In the lawsuit, the homeowners have been officials should have worked harder to determine, long existing records, who might have to pay the tax before publishing that law.

The judge, who criticized a decision, is used letters to the owners of roughly 15,000 properties in the city system that Mr. Mandani, based home homeowners said they had received letters to serve, according to the lawsuit, finding accusations that they only was more

than 10 million. Homeowners were directed to the appellatee with the city by

mid-September if they believed they were exempt from the tax. The city said in court papers that it had received more than 3,000 applications.

Justice Hatz's order would have required the city to ensure the data set from the website for now in the most common on Monday of September, with a 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

"Nothing can happen to 15,000 homeowners who might be subject to a surcharge doesn't satisfy the intent of the legislature," he said.

Service should state what the city did show "they are a two-time tower of information," he added. "I can't among the bed, but I can only use further notices going out."

The lawsuit will still proceed while the appeal is considered, and both sides are expected back to court on Aug. 15.

The tax has become something of a symbol of Mr. Mandani's approach to causing the new legal pool in the system who put him in office, who supported the idea of using city government, and the system was even economic equity. To continue its introduction, Mr. Mandani passed a video on social media outside a building where they are being used to get their own income, purchased a continuous for $2.00 million in 2016.

A spokeswoman for Ms. Hockall, the Goodman, said the tax would be an important part of the tax is a matter for the city and the case to be work through.

But she added that Ms. Hockall believed "that people who can all be able to do business should know in New York City can afford to pay their tax share."

Judge Drops

Bribery Case

Vs. Tycoon

By NANCY MORGAN

A federal judge on Monday discussed criminal charges against General Adams before federal court hearing a contentious report made by the Justice Department after Mr. Adams offered his letter of dollars in commitment if the case were to be abandoned.

The city judge, who was a judge, Nicholas E. Garsudio of the Eastview District of New York, wrote that important elements of the case were legally delivered to that district, and that the state's fellow investment office did not factor in the future Department's decision to seek the defense.

But Judge Garsudio sometimes criticized the department's conduct, leaning in on Trust McCann, a senior Justice Department official who led the office to drop the case. Mr. McCann, the principal associate deputy attorney general, had been the case during his 4-6 respect for the judicial breach, Judge Garsudio wrote.

Earlier, Mr. McCann had suggested to court Judge that the case would be a serious, personal power when brought by the previous Justice Department, a doubt that Judge Garsudio called him into and "referencing of the 4-6."

And rather than listen to the case was federal officials who also had been the case, Garsudio including whether to abandon a prosecution, Mr. McCann used the "tax-surgical judgment" working in consultation with Mr. Adams. However, Judge Garsudio wrote:

"The irregularities in the decision to dismiss the indictment are determined," Judge Garsudio wrote:

"In a statement posted on 5, Mr. Adams went out for reorganization, because the case was not long, respect for the judicial power. To complete in a request for comment, a spokeswoman for the Justice Department referred to Mr. Adams as a "legal breach" named.

On Monday, while discussing this charges against Mr. Adams and two other defendants, Judge Garsudio kept open the motion against the four remaining defendants.

When the indictment was an unusual, federal prosecution under the dalam administration and that the column involved "carregions and fraud of the expense of the 4-6."

Mandani Is Said to Spare a Public Garden From Development

By NIDDIE ZAYDEE

and RABIN JOHNSON

Mayor Zelman Mandani is entitled to a 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

The name is the latest twist in the postcarded conflict over the city, known as the Elizabeth Street Garden, which over more than a decade ago. The name is not of the mission because development was not of the difficulties inherent in building housing in wealthy New York city.

Mr. Mandani's predecessor, Eric Adams, had been a contract employee of the development on the new structure in No. 5, which is the first time to be a new building in the city. The plan has been developed, along with green space, about 10 of these apartments were dated the September New Yorkers.

The new building is a large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large, large

The battle over the Elizabeth Street Garden in Loose Manhattan reflected the tension between development and preservation.

due for plan and build housing elsewhere.

Last fall, shortly after Mr. Mandani's election, Mr. Adams's first deputy mayor, Randy Martin, had the property designated as "parkland," a move that blocked the city's development plans and could be reversed only by the State Legislature.

The development on the project - Presence, Habitat for Humanity and Southern - over the city, all in the Master's move, selected and curing they wanted to "proved an ongoing administration from destroying an urgently

needed affordable housing project through an act of naked executive power."

Mr. Mandani's administration has been details with the development for months, and is expected to settle the lawsuit in the coming days. Exhausted first reported a Monday. As part of the new system, the city would agree to no longer pursue the development, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of apparently to describe confidential settlement discussions.

Presence said in a statement that it would "continue to look for

opportunities to partner with the city" to deliver affordable housing. The other development did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In a candidate, and on mayor, Mr. Mandani has adopted a predecessor's stance, arguing that only by building a vast number of affordable apartments can New York City over the three-housing meetings during the campaign, he said the news one half does that he would even the Elizabeth Street Garden, the nonprofit leader that occupies the city, during the first year to effect their time. Mr. Mandani had the kind designated of an architect.

It is on clear if Mr. Mandani tried to get the state to reverse Mr. Martin's move.

Matthew Blanchardson, a spokesman for the mayor, said the city was "continuing to work on a ward a resolution of the lawsuit adopted under the previous ad valorem, not concerning the Elizabeth Street Garden site." He added that the city was moving forward with another project to build 100 affordable homes nearby.

The new project was also proposed, halfway covered by the Adams administration in an alternative to the Elizabeth Street Garden development.

The new project,娴熟, launched the impending settlement: "More than a decade has been lost," said Annamaria Corp. executive direc-

tor of Open New York, a nonprofit group that suggests more development "bannies who should have been lost" than the new system, says Jean Arnd wading. The is the drop objective of the center of the story, and no settlement ensues it.

But Joseph Barton, executive director of the Elizabeth Street Garden nonprofit, hailed the likely outcome of "the kind of resolution all New Yorkers deserve."

And? In complex States, the city—conclusion—has represented the district that contains the garden and who has been a district that development, thanked the Mandani administration for working toward an agreement that prevented housing from being built in the city.

The construction must be an interview that is supported with housing developments in the district, including at the farthest level of the city.

"It's an area that really needs to be able to be the country," Mr. Martin said.

Mr. Martin, a frequent critic of the Mandani, was making the pay with the outcome.

Of whatever settlement of this lawsuit the Mandani administration is contemplating acceptance of the new system, Mr. Martin, a Garden at dedicated parkland, that is the right thing to do, and I applaud it," Mr. Martin said.

Boat Captain Charged in Accident That Killed Mother and Daughter

The 2026 at St. Brigham Water, Patrick McMahon and Mike G. Giles.

Federal prosecutors on Monday charged the captain in a boat as a special case in the United States, the daughter now Liberty Island over the weekend as questions have emerged about the war compared to safety history.

The captain, Manuel Hernandez, 40, have two counts of unavoidable and negative of a ship officer in coming in death, according to a criminal complaint filed in the United States, by Robert D. Dunn. Federal investigators are focusing on what went wrong on Saturday night when the Vanuatu district had the thousands received a $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

In that investigation unfolds, which have occurred about the safety record of the war operator, Dean Lunary Rental. The Governor's report is clearly was also the operator of a boat that burst into Robert in the 2026, having more than 20 passengers to jump overboard, according to the Retired Bureau. The 2026, was a good one that boat was arrested and is being criminal charged.

The federal complaint says that a two operator must file 10v4s of the 2026, and 10v4s of the 2026, respectively.

Manuel Hernandez, the board captain, faces two counts of unavoidable and neglect of a ship officer resulting in death.

and he takes a successful of a post-actual offer from the company. Federal prosecutors did not know the company, but the other two were sure that one that Dean Lunary Rental had used to promote boat tours. The three "brands" built as a luxury operator of thousands and rental yacht services," the complaint says.

The person who paid for the tour, Alexander Reyes, said he had hooked the charter with Dean Lunary Rental as a birthday surprise for his wife.

John Lunary didn't태ens only serious call or test messages to comment.

The vessel that captured on her

order was carrying 14 people which exceeded its maximum of several capacity of the shipping to the complaint, which was signed by Martin Dean, a special agent with the U.S. Coast Guard investigators Service.

The complaint says Mr. Hernandez operated the boat known that the 2v4s intended got was not working a personal distance device, and that there was no such right or return care device aboard.

After he was taken into custody, Mr. Hernandez was advised of the 2v4s, which was not working in the New York Police Department and the Coast Guard, he said he was picking a vessel owned by a

boat located his own boat acquired mechanical repairs, the complaint says.

It also says he did not know the proper Coast Guard content of a private the vessel with paying customers on board.

Mr. Hernandez was taken before a federal magistrate judge on Monday afternoon, appearing in a gray Hurley Center, while remaining trunks and a pair of mouldy water shoes. He sat quietly with his hands charged to his lap and his eyes focused in front of their on the judge. Vance a Pigeonate, said not his charges.

The subject also released on a $10,000 personal investigation bond, and neither Mr. Hernandez nor his lawyer would comment of try for hearing.

James McDonald, the U.S. attorney, was the judge's counsel, and New York, said Mr. Hernandez feared failed regulations and maritime safety protocols that era set to protect passengers from and over-bung on commercial vessels.

And Arndon, assistant director in charge of the Coast Guard in a companion Service, added, "that plot charter operations gamble with the 2v4s, which was not the alleged conduct of it as an obtainable tragedy."

In the 2025 incident near the Room, the crew of a few boat concentrations of 1,000 people after she hanged off that party boat, which had been chartered for a family birthday, prosecutors

said, it was left last day the boat suffered second and third-dignity, barns that required state grafts, prosecutors said.

Prosecution in the Room brought several "cooper-licensed and reckless endangerment against the heart" plan. In this Room, who they said had been drinking while driving the boat without a single car.

At the time of Mr. Britz's arraignment, Russel D. Clark, the Room district attorney, said: "I'mailed to me one killed when the vessel was in the 2v4s, and passengers jumped into the water, but a woman nearly drowned, and a man suffered serious burns. The individual put his hands on the water, which could be advised alongside them as he passed the boat."

Mr. Britz, a Room resident, pleaded not guilty to the charges of the 2v4s.

Luziana Garcia, the woman who nearly driven that contract, noted Mr. Britz, Dean Lunary and its owners in their Supreme Court Court, had been a friend of the New York City, said that Mr. Garcia first heard of Dean Lunary Rental from its 780th account, which had given her the impression that the company didn't have it (when available for charter).

Farages, the Man With the Trash Can on His Head

Tanya Gold

A journalist who writes about British politics and culture.

—The New York Times (1993)

TAPEST the first Saturday in August in Charlemont, Sen. etching outside revenue the vast coast of England and the east of England, to open the plan being leader of the far-right Reform U.K., who was elected by Parliament in 2024, on his eighth attempt.

Children accustomed with pleasure at the famine while parents willed in the boat. A few weeks before, in the middle of an investigation into whether Mr. Farage had broken parliamentary rules over an undisclosed gift, he announced he would resign and immediately ran for re-election. The people of Charlemont, he said, would be the judge of his actions.

Failed grandson is everywhere in Charlemont. It is a constant reminder of the twenty past as a Retirement for Victorian war helpers — not least for her, built around 1970, when Britain was the world's superpower. Such a visible sense of the past brings the more mundane present into sharp mind and as many ways explains Reform better than any focus group.

When the present and future are frightening — and they are — people often look backward for comfort. They find it in the ideal way we were great ones, and that might be mean something. Mr. Farage accompanied the whole thing, the idea that an end-attended, far-best heart's think comes more if. We are in the woods of culture war. It is a time of distraction.

Until recently, Reform had seemed unconjugable. It undoubtedly pulled back with or higher than the following Labour Party — which lost moods, after downtown results in local elections in which Reform made major gains — failed to leader, fear, fearless, and replaced him with doth first-hand as the prime minister.

Like all management parties, Reform has benefited from the major parties' appearance in its 1980s. The following began, following public services and scarce and expensive housing Mr. Farage's party blame—immigration — particularly for highly visible, desperate people who created the English Channel on a landfill, and that the party being interrogated on the Kewt coast, keeping a lookout. He was an early advocate of leaving the European Union. And though, weather and well-conserved — he still dresses like the little commandant to see how we — he succeeded in situating himself, like his friend President Trump, as an ally of the people against the dark forces of the global elite.

But this year something has shrunk. Mr. April, The Guardian published an investigation that described how Mr. Farage an oppress gift of about $5.7 million from Christopher Hayhoe as a cryptocurrency billion-per-electionist in England, in 2024, a couple of months before he returned as the leader of Reform. An official watching show of investigations that following month, The Met policy is also investigating donations to the party.

Mr. Farage tired to blame these investigate-

tions as a case of the establishment versus the network, but this time he and the party began to slip its poke. The by-elections might be understood as an attempt to raise local control. All the major parties have dismissed the election as a state and have declined to post candidates. Even so, there are 34 candidates on the longest and perhaps strangely ballot

paper in British electoral history. There are three from the Minister Baring Loony Party, Senator more established more. Here: Bowling Land Hope, Vick the Incredible Flying, Rock and Snows Van Thundercule, The New Lucerne Day, The Second Hunter Biden in the 2022 storm "My Son Manner," is standing for his far-right party, Barbara. Count Butler, who says he is a 1,900-year-

old stenographic space warrior and whose policies include making sizable problem-putting the people to make affordable home and promising not to accept gifts from cryptofilmmakers (on Earth), is also running. The coast — real name Jonathan Harvey, a crusader who includes Queen and Queen's family — pulled at 20 percent at late July, according to Parvathen.

Mr. Farage's leading opponent is a man with a trunk can on his head. Britain these days is not short of metaphor.

This is the 10th British by-election I have covered in seven years, and the song is at ways the same: characters, music, despair. I am shabby thrown, a Charlemont-ended, sounds a cute man the train station. The town has "guns to rock and rain," she told me. "It used to be pretty and thriving," she said. "It's a dirty, filthy place now."

In most countries, activists for the lobby group Stand Up to Rautum appeared and started handing out their first visit "Stop the King" (E. C. and "Just Your Orange") a small fight started. Pro-Farage teenagers took the "Don't-turn-Farage" like a son off the "dust" and stuck the repayment there suitably to a trip.

This is Count Butler's seventh political campaign, and at moments he can evoke more conventional politicians. In a campaign video, he dances by the Clarion par and stops. "You want somebody now." Who will stand up for you, and those who can't see? He is fun, but he is a symptom of our political stability rather than a cure.

Not more, but the government who also works in an apartment building for older people and is a local independent candidate, agreed. "All of a sudden, this fun man appears, and then there's a kind of mass hysteria. The big thing is going to be in the way," he told me in a coffee shop on the town's main street.

The way supporters of Mr. Farage were often shocked standard Mr. Peter of how any person of Mr. Trump were misled in 2018. "And people have not insisted that lesson," Mr. Peter said. "And. God help us, what will follow?"

I watched Dr. Mr. Farage all of that but Saturday her didn't see him. I felt sorry that evening to catch a train home to Cornwall. The following day, Harry Mitchell, the photographer. Of hers working with, bumped into Mr. Farage at an event he veterans. He was wearing a red and magenta and was surrounded by bodyguards.

This is how elections are so often fought more than a few years, as a constituency is most time, make contact for their social media and seek away. It is an American politics for a lot of decades. And it's not about Charlemont. The election there is a pretty outset, tough with competing dreams.

Most think, Mr. Farage will win easily in Thursday. The first-time poll had him at 75 percent (He won 40 percent in 2024.) Thanks will again last the Parliamentary Standards Commission. There could be yet another by-election in Charlemont, and this again.

But Mr. Farage will not beat Charlemont — at Britain. Like the man with the truth comes the head, Mr. Farage is a symptom of our fragile, hittish times. He is here to make the most of his time in the too hot sun.

El-Sayed's Winning Path in Michigan

I continue that I never expected to see an American election where the choice of candidates is more than a few distinct would be a democratic socialist version. A Republican monarchist — but few long enough and you'll see everything.

As I listen to those democratic socialists and King-Trans-a-glenn-wrong Republican, one of my favorite stories have keeps coming to mind. It's from the 1857 film The Good in E-Govt. When Jack Nicholson, playing a chandelier on work, answers the story to find a neighbor asking him to walk a dog and offering cheery advice about opening window curtains to see "God's beautiful work."

Nicholson says to Mr. "When do that stand you to look about it?" He adds: "And crazy someplace sites. We're all stocked up here."

How I walk I could say that in both those outcomes. We're all stocked up on crazy in a British political life of a neighbor site.

But because this is the only country I have, because the audience will be naive close and because I am convinced that two more years of United Trump completely rank制度—the winning candidate, the Senate and nearly the Supreme Court — could bring about the end of June it is as we have known it. I have to think about how to make the best of some not great choices.

I've argued in deserving of attention to in Michigan, so there is some two advice for Aldrin El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate candidate there. Why then? Because the victory is about could determine whether Trump can make it even after the 1994 research without any congressional oversight.

So, if you want to win over Jewish and control voters in Michigan, increase your skills of victory, be it sure to your pro-Pubertians. Arab politicians won't want to win the ASPEC, the pro-Israel organization whose paper FNC spent $25 million trying to deliver our richly-prizes, whose money is $1.5 million political needy very carefully. There is a way.

El-Sayed says Michigan does should not be worried about him, insisting that his commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own

daughters." That's commendable, but many American Jewish voters are not just looking for stronger police protection from their elected representatives. They are looking for recognition of the right of Jews to self-determination, like any other people.

Yes, many American Jews, especially young ones, now agree — as I do — with Israel's former Mexican chief Franz Pardo, who in 2023 denounced Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for bringing "horrible cause pervive" into the country's highest cabinet reform. According them as "a lot worse" than the Russian

But don't confuse that with the belief in the right of Israel to enter as a Jewish state. That is still something very clear to most American Jews — just as much as Palestinian statehood levels in the heart of most in the mid-Mindian. Israel is part of their identity, and El-Sayed is not ensuring American Jews when he simply tells them he will protect their transgender.

He needs to stress his own more than incredible and conservative position — which I just heard him describe to CN外 Karima Odilon — that he believes "in equal rights to Israel, dignity and self-determination for Jewish Israelis and Palestinians alike".

That is a very good perspective and it is unknown from that of the democratic socialist states of New York City. Delano Mandela, who has stated that Jews are not entitled to self-determination in a state of their own — a Jewish state is their biblical homeland.

As for Michalova, a contributing columnist to The Forward, has pointed out: "At work, El-Sayed's statement is a useful contrast to Mandela's life in not purifying about the abstract legitimacy of Israel or Palestine, on the contrary, he is insisting on the pragmatic view, that I share. But what he ultimately poses should be must be decided by both Palestinians and Israelis — a position rejected by both the Senate-to-Mandela-closed on the left and the Jewish superstructure on the right."

But when El-Sayed campaigns with the far-left structure House Prier, who has said that "Manus is a thousand times better" than Israel, it is not surprising that Jewish voters

wonder what his real position is on their right to a state of their own like every other people. Let's be very clear. Manus is a crusader or gananizer, but not forward to Palestinians. The two pass that it has been given by some pro-Pubertians, progressives — who criticize Israel and never Hamas, or if it has an agency — is shameful.

I know something about Manus's agency in February 2002, in this column, the head-strewn prince at the time. Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, for the first time, called on the Arab League to offer peace and normalization of relations with Israel in exchange for Israel's full withdrawal from Palestinian land to the 2007 time. That will not be Arab League to hold a peace conference. He must month, on March 27 and 28, in March to 6th and that. It should what was called the Arab Union Initiative. Do you know what Manus's response was called from Peru to the peace initiative during the groundwork for a two-state solution?

The night that Arab consent opened, a famous suicide bomber walked into a massive locker at an Israeli hotel in Netanya and discussed killing 10 people and stowing more than 100. That's Human — two decades before the Gana war.

I normally would not even get into those woods, but it is too distressing to watch how the democratic socialist left the public in many young Democrats away from America's cooperating. Middle East position of resistance in two years has been a tremendous both Jews and Palestinians. Any other position is a geopolitical level for America and is lower for Palestinians, Israelis, Arab Americans, Jewish Americans and Muslim Americans, and every other America.

El-Sayed should just keep stressing what he told CNN — that he believes "in equal rights to peace, dignity and self-determination for Jewish Israelis and Palestinians alike" and he wants to help peace agreement they mutually agreed to.

And that go back to talking about the Midwest and leave the Midwest alone.

Going for any other uncharmed position — that only Palestinians or Jews are entitled to

A tale of two Israelis, from two American politicians.

a national homeland between the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle River — is a pre-emption of a Internet was, because agencies made a lot of more than Palestinians and seven million Jews now live in that area and neither group is leaving, anyone advocating either of them or not, as many of them may tell them the contrast voters who will decide that election.

That said, I can understand that El-Sayed is better about ASPEC spending $12 million to better him in the Michigan primary and it is no doubt spend more to try to defeat him in the Senate too. But he can't let it get the best of him and cost Democrats a Senate seat, leaving the country with two more years of freedom.

It is not only El-Sayed, though, who needs to draw clear to Black American Jews have for ASPEC three times over a cliff.

As readers of this column know, I have been the author ASPEC, who. (The one-produced and pro-American lobby in 2 times) I think as its own power, ASPEC lost its way years ago where I had a choice regarding how to be pro-Israel — to pro-American interests and status over a mixed state interests. I value for it. ASPEC chose to be pro-Semayable.

Sure, ASPEC's website states that it seeks to "relate Israel's Palestinian peace, including the need for the major power to have them." Have the one statement ASPEC has made a detailing: the 'Semayahu government's settlement expansion project,' the more aggressive in Israel's history that seeks to be the first in a semayahu or sub-ground in the West Bank to build "a credible pathway to a two-state agreement."

I regret — this is not complicated. El-Sayed can be pro-American, pro-Michigan, pro-Farland, pro-Semitic, pro-Semitic, pro-Semitic, pro-Semitic people and argues ASPEC for the Semayahu front organization that it has become. Just keep it open to two states for two peoples. They just talk about Michigan.

And yet too, the Republican agreement will not like that. And if it experts the far lefties in his own party, that's a bonus for him and the rest of us.

Are the Skyscrapers Falling?

North Bிக்க

A woman at the Aisles, in Bland and Bloomsburg and an outpatient New York, in which he worked on roasting, stuttered, disengaged and whistled black curing.

WHEN something goes wrong with a building in New York, it shakes more than most and concerns. It also shakes most.

A week ago, two decades in a fashion buckled on the 21st floor of 200 East 42nd Street in Manhattan, part of the former Pfizer headquarters complex being transferred into what will be the natural largest office-to-end/mural conversion. Runners are slated that the entire building might be in danger of collapse, and where people are to go in.

Several insanity buildings were re-crusted with the Bronx could be scattered and the high-sun-conditioned. Some have one or more of problems on many other construction sites, including other office-to-end/mural conversion.

Like in a crowded city like New York, the people on town, and here in the market in the massive town's air and gas and a few rooms who build them. At a time when confidence in community all of our institutions is at a low, it's understandable that New York is a single low-almost and question-answer, or more or being out and whether there is safety might be at risk.

That has it said. The industry can't just say 'building is new here' when something like the Pfizer men's biggown is visibly, but unfortunately, members do happen in practice. Modern construction is governed by a complete system with many levels of scrutiny — and that systems in strengthened by

economic-motivic balance, including the one at the Pfizer building. During any time at City Hall working for multiple administration, its housing, and the other, they provide a infrastructure policy. I worked with public servants to curtail respiratory infection to protect public safety and build more housing. On construction sites, I got to see a project through a different host. Hundreds of skilled professionals, inspectors, engineers and trainees—just, whose daily work is devoted to building safety, as time and on budget.

These experiences leave me with a respect not only for the complexity of building as a city, like New York but also for the re-

Every bridge and building reflects a collective decision to trust strangers.

muchable number of people and systems where job is to prevent failures.

This year, I left government and national a plan that advises owners and developers pursuing complex real estate projects, including office-to-end/mural conversion. Right now, there is a concern among many in the industry that the incidents of the past month could give a danger on the office-to-end/mural success story and the next generation of conversion projects, precisely when these projects are delivering thousands of units into a housing market that is drastically unabrequable.

Building is not an integral, universal, constructed and inspected by a single advantage and a limited, they manage from a long chain of decision involving owners, ar-

districts, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, special inspectors and public regulators. A sound calculation can be undertaken by a field worker in the office from the drawings, a code number, and a system was not anticipated, a warning that was not promptly reported in an ambiguity about who had authority to stop the work.

The Pfizer building makes deserves a complex and transparent investigation. We need to know what happened, when warning signs appeared and whether the plane, construction and inspectories conferred to the law and accepted professional questions.

The subsequent issues at other universities protect their driver's similar scrutiny. Indeed, investigators have broadened their review. The appropriate issues must to presume every project is unsafe, but is not evidence — not anxiety — determine whether ultimate change is an exception.

New York has a long history of learning from failure — even disaster. Its building code, for such and hard of construction, is clear, in part, accumulated records of past failures. That includes process for under the city for sales.

Major alterations that add substantial weight or change in buildings, or circumstances, could warrant expanded independent review or difficult change of design and construction. Structural devices encountered in the field should trigger immediate, unambiguous reporting, improvement.

The Department of Buildings needs enough open-wood engineers and inspectors to focus on projects with the required consequences. But, as was pointed out in a June report by the state comptroller, the Buildings Department has had a hard time recruiting and retaining importance and engineering staff members. The last reported head count, in December, was 1,610 employees, but the budgeted load count is now 1,850, so the department may have as many as 50.1% (both) for artifact problems.

And when an unexpected condition appears, the person empowered to stop work and the professional consumption by deciding whether it can resume should be unavailability. Also, Right now, whether or not something is reported to the Buildings Department is a judgment call by owners, contractors, subcontractors or engineers on each project. In the past, the Office of Plant incident, there were a few additional stop work orders in other buildings. The industry needs to have tighter protocols on reporting potential problems to the Buildings Department.

The city should also publish the findings of no investigation in a form that engineers, builders or regulators can learn from.

Reducing Vaccinations Is 'Unconscionable'

Re: Trump Signs Executive Order Falling for Every Child head Vaccinations" (www.artnet.org, 02).

The president's action will kill children. This is not hypocrisy. The science is clear. In my 30 years of medical practice I can certain that my 15 life years (Effective things) I have done is to provide vaccinations to tops of thousands of patients.

Sadly, in the past few years I have been seen many people in from a side of vaccination, after by chance it became of lack of access.

I have no doubt that irreparable damage has been done by this administration, but we don't take our vision and do not have to limit this concept of administration.

He Saw Specialist After Specialist. He Died When No One Gave Him a Flu Shot.

Aaron E. Carroll

A specialist and the president and chief executive of AcademyHealth.

A LIMITED all doctors have a longer story than exists with them. For Dr. Iacobetti, I am a professor in the U.S.A. in 1964. A teenager with a congenital heart-disease and a weakened immune system, who got a flu vaccine each year. One year, a month of medical stress and hospitalizations covered out that routine care, which was vaccine was missed. The child caught inflow, but the virus led to a secondary bacterial infection, and he died.

This report is failure of medical discovery. If was a failure of medical delivery, the vaccines have been caused for many, but also. The health care system has doubled this child from specialist to specialist perverse given the fact.

There's a lot of that trouble how a turn research into practice. Now in get the right vaccine can the right child. My right antibiotic to the right patient, the right asthma plus can the right bronchial. It can reverse gating other child's because of early glamorous. No one was the Nobel Prize for figuring out how to remain thoughtful in give a child's flu shot.

The United States spends more than 10 million a year on health care. It leads the most productive biomedical discovery engine in the world. But the most effective treatment is to prevent the nothing for the patient who doesn't receive it.

The collection of sciences that focus on how care is delivered, whose child, have done so, prevented and what actually can prevent it. A substitute for all health care, science science, it includes any new field, health services research. Everything Americans have about health care — how much it costs, how hard it is to get and how the painstaking is both, with not results that never

follow you — falls under its scope.

You can see how these sciences are so far behind the national budget. The National Institute of Health received roughly $47 billion that year, over which nearly 6 billion new treatments and cost have will they work. The agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the lead federal agency for health solutions science, received less than 1 percent of that money — $140 million — to figure out how to make care under and ensure those treatments get to the patients who need them. The two stakeholders that raise to that discovery is the hard part and delivery takes care of itself.

And yet by one estimate, it takes 17 years for research evidence to make its way into everyday practice. This spring, The Times reported that half of people with metastatic lung cancer receive in treatment at all, decades into the era of therapies that can终结 that disease.

Now, even that I put you in being distrusted. It is still here on paper. the agency for Healthcare Research and Quality was pre-proposed close to its usual amount in the 2020 budget.

After筛查ing 100 families, the full trial was abruptly ended.

Dr. Valerie Vaughn of Utah was leading a study to reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions for patients being sent home from the hospital. Conservancy antibiotics, especially effects and increase antibiotic resistance, making some infections harder to treat for everyone. The study was canceled and returned.

Every administration gets to our research practices. But when Dr. Kelly and Dr. Vaughn were informed that their trials had been canceled, the explanation was strange. In letters to the researchers, the agency for Healthcare Research and Quality said that there is no evidence for studies to focus on other priorities — the ones it listed included "patient safety" and "preventing antibiotic resistance." After some the Trump administration, the state has never seen any other, or were told that the patient is not a patient, and that the patient is not a patient, and that the patient is not a patient, and that the patient is not a patient, and that the patient is not a patient, and that the patient is not a patient, and that the patient is not a patient, and that the patient is not a patient, and that the patient is not a patient, and that the patient is not a patient, and that the patient is not a patient, and that the patient is not a patient, and that the patient is not a patient.

Casio-Cortez Spurring Talk of Freezing Eggs With Her Revelation

From Page A7

women are trying to hang about it. Like breast cancer, menopause and menstruation, only freezing has become yet another woman's health issue in which open discussion is seen as a form of empowerment. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez herself said that it was "before that I'm going to be giving myself shots in the green room" at 7:37 studio.

The very personal disclosure, however, also had a political event say, as she linked her decision to freeze her eggs to the debunk over reproductive choice.

Indeed, her announcement also brought despair over the medical menopause and outright condemnation of her choices.

said that is vitro fertilization and often reproductive technologies give women the false impression that they can wait to have children.

Allo Reifs Stuckey, the popular conservative writer and commentator, posted: "She's ginsening the lie that women can have to do. Yes can't. Biology is real and how you order your life makes or breaks your future."

Whatever the risks of the politics, the sale of egg freezing has soared. In the decade between 2016 and 2018, the number of egg freezing articles rose to 10,000 from 0,996, according to Jennifer Karon, president of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology.

Many women see egg freezing as a reflection of the times, as they search for ways to navigate their education, careers and relationships. In interviews, they describe the personal decision, which could be both empowering, but also defensive, no less than hopes of finding suitable life partners do not materialize.

Egg freezing seems natural, said Karane Martin, who is 36 and lives in Sacramento. She underwent the procedure two years ago, before studying to be a physician assistant. She said she initially thought she would be ready to use the eggs to about five years. If she has to have a baby alone, she said, she will die.

Ms. Barnum, 35, posted videos of the process, hoping to show that it is not difficult, especially for younger women. "I feel so powerful," she said, because she was taking control of something she didn't want to leave up to chance.

On her videos, she explained that the cost to freeze her eggs is New York City was about $3,000 and that she surely squeezed the procedure into her hope that which included a conference and an investor dinner.

"I'm friends with a lot of really successful seven, eight, nine figures brand chambers — they all do it," Ms. Barnum said in an interview.

"I'm them, it's like getting a designer bag — freezing your eggs they cost the same — and what's kind of the mortality around it."

Doctors and experts, however, say the process is often not that easy: Egg freezing and other fertility treatments can be as stressful as cancer treatments, said Bena Gower, a fertility therapist based in Manhattan.

A woman must meet a cocktail of hormonal medications into her abdomen over a period of eight to 12 days. A doctor then removes the eggs by a needle inserted through the vaginal wall while the patient is sedated.

There's eggs are black frozen in liquid nitrogen, potentially preserving them for many years. It is essentially the first step of in vitro fertilization, which involves thawing the eggs, herding them in the lab and creating embryos.

Many infertility doctors said they hope that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez's transparency will lead to a bigger, clearer conversation about supporting a woman's desire to have children.

Right now, fertility is poorly understood, they said.

"I've had patients come to at age 45, and I'm ready to start talking about menopause, and they're ready to start talking about fertil-

ity," said Audrey Braitham, a gynecologist at Newtown Women in Manhattan.

Ms. Ocasio, her fertility therapist, said that she has encountered many women who were afraid to tell anyone that they have known their eggs.

Braitham, she said, women had forced into secrecy by their families, who held it in a friendly wrong that they had given children that their body might be seen as broken, or that their romantic relationships aren't working out.

Some women are nervous that children are seen as a respect of it — would negatively influence they play.

She was devastated. The doctor suggested she complete one of two more cycles, but she couldn't hear even the idea of it, emotionally or financially.

Two years later, in 2018, she met her life partner, Greg Gomez, and on Feb. 10, 2021, when Ms. Quinn was 42, a doctor explained the embryo that became their daughter, Rory.

"I feel more confident to talk about it," she said, "now that it has worked out."

Californians Wary of Federal Efforts to Control Coast

By LYNN ALBECH KIPRA

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — For more than half a century, the California Coastal Commission has been entrusted with protection for state's ultimate shoreline, which is integral to the state's identity and economy.

However, the Trump administration must be agency as a blockade to development and has sought to curb its power.

On Monday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration held a public hearing in Santa Monica, Calif., the first stop in the administration's review of the state's state-constitution and other bodies that oversee California's coast.

Kastin Klapow, acting director at NOAA's Office for Coastal Management, who left the hearing, said that during the evaluation, the agency would consider the state's which California had implemented and enforced programs, addressed coastal management and adhered to the terms of federal grants or loans.

The hearing was attended by hundreds of people, including members of the coastal commission, business owners, scientists and coastal activists.

Many people at the hearing received that hearing the process of the state's state-constitution and state-constitution includes, with potentially devastating consequences.

Until a federal path for more offshore oil production and a broader setback of environmental protections, several also said they viewed the review as a pre-trial for the Trump administration to impose California's science-ego policies.

"I'm not about performance — like a about power," said Man-Whitney, director of the Santa Barbara, a notable reciever that adhered to devastating of spill in 2015 from a pipeline that the administration prepared this year over the state's objections.

The shoreline in Pacifica, Calif. The Trump administration is reviewing governs of local entities that oversee the state's coast.

Under the Coastal Zone Management Act, a 1972 federal law, states can develop programs to manage the seashore, for California, the commission is the principal agency charged with that responsibility.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lamich has criticized California for impeding federal priorities, particularly managers' development and offshore oil production. Mr. Lamich said in a letter this year that the state had a "long record of obstructing technology and innovation, economic development, and related history efforts in the name of environmental contractors."

Kate Huckelford, the coastal commission's executive director, said the state's authority that it separate federal review of the agency law over had found "strong performance" but that the review had never been finalized. "We've selected a fair and transparent evaluation," she said. "We record speaks for itself."

The timing and possible outcomes of the review remain unclear, but the coastal commission

said that its program could be de-credited or that it could function. If percent of its budget that comes from federal grants, its partner agencies could also lose funds.

In an interview after the hearing, Ms. Huckelford said that while the Trump administration was pursuing California now, the ten of states had similar coastal management programs that could be threatened "to really turn a little into the state that is around the country," she said.

California's shoreline is one of its most valuable resources, drawing millions of tourists and locals and commuting tons of billions of dollars to the economy annually. Voters created the commission in the 1970s to maximize public access to the coastline.

But the deep blue state's laws and agencies that limit coastal development have been a persistent target of conservatives, including President Trump.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly and publicly banned the commission, which men tried to stop him from erecting a 70-foot flag on a golf course for seven men Los Angeles.

The agency has also clothed with Elon Musk, a Trump job, over the frequency of hijacked rocket murders.

This year, California used the Trump administration over its retracting of the shattered oil pipeline off the coast of Santa Barbara by revoking the Delaney Production Act, a 1970s-era law that has typically been used in national emergencies.

Governmental activists and many state officials see the administration's actions as a sign that it wants to recreate California's approach to coastal protection.

Jodi Reynolds, a lawyer and strategist for the federal fire sources Delaney Council, said at a news conference before the hearing that the federal government "denial of climate change, deregulation of environmental carbonization, disdain for the rule of law and disregard for science and even for basic facts" and examine the bounds of normal policy disagreement.

The Trump administration has maintained new oil and gas drilling, while cutting support for solar and wind power and electric vehicles.

The state's history with offshore oil drilling, including a huge spill off the coast in 1958 that helped spur passage of national environmental legislation, makes many residents wary of the administration's efforts.

Lindsey Barroch, a county in a previous whose district includes some of American most actual coastal communities, including Santa Monica, Malibu and Vena, said that Los Angeles County, the nation's largest urban oil field, was banning new drilling and draining on existing water.

"We know what's best for Los Angeles County," he California, and for our nation, and we will never stop fighting to protect it. Ms. Horvath said.

New York Looks to Put Heat From Stifling Subway to Use

By STEINAND CHEN

Summer in the New York City subway, where temperatures can exceed 100 degrees we train plan to get out and like a steam — to top stifling of the arenas.

Now, Mayor Zubian Mumliny and state transit officials want to try something new on under-ground air exchange system that could cost statutes to the summer and heat nearby building in the winter.

On Monday, they announced a study to test the feasibility of the system, called a thermal energy network, at the Brooklyn Bridge City Hall and Chambers Street station complex in Lower Muldra and. The study is expected to cost 1000,000 and will be headed by those York State Energy Research and Development Authority. If the building are positive, design work could begin early next year.

Mr. Mumliny, standing on a county platform in the complex, compared the space, which serves several to just three, to a "Chamber of horrors," and said the upgrade would be the first of its kindest air American transit network.

"We are bringing that legacy of abandonment to do not," he said about the Chambers Street site loss, one of the hottest and heart-rising in the country-old subway system. More than 10,000 states use the statutes on an average weekday.

The plan would involve digging more more than 100 feet below an unused statutes platform to explore stories best that a network to pipes connected to municipal buildings nearby, including City Hall and the Harragans' Court house. Similar geothermal heat-uptime systems have been used at St. Patrick's Cathedral and apartment buildings in New York, and in several European cities.

Some Lofors, the chief executive of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the state agency that runs the subway, said the plan could create a modification could be applied elsewhere in the city's 475 statutes network.

Previous plans including for air-conditioning, have produced mixed-woods because of the porous and complicated layout of stations, which have multiple types and some that make them harder to cool. (Subway trains are air-conditioned, but not but air-removed from trains can be wanted into stations and tunnels, compared to the problem.)

It is not yet clear how much water the land-rockhedge system could make the statutes. Mr. Lofors said, "Let be noted that lowering the temperature "even a few degrees" would mean "the difference between total subway and mostly overdosing."

Much Lofors, the city complexion, said the plan could have the added benefit of reducing utility bills for a number of city-owned properties, including the Bend's Chateau Manhattan Municipal Building, which would roughly $1.1 million a year in dollars.

The study comes a week after Gov. Kathy Heckel announced plans to renovate the Chambers Drive System, which opened in 2015 and has long been decided as one of the most neglected in the subway.

That project, which does not yet have a minimum for 10,000 miles of dollars, includes new flooring, additional security cameras and lighting, leak mitigation, and the restoration of damaged houses, like a man-made matche trim and tree-cords details. The $8.5, said the project would be funded in part with revenue from Manhattan's congestion pricing toll program.

More waiting overnight on a beach in Ceuta, Spain, for humanitarian assistance after thousands hired by rumors of welcome surged across the border from Morocco into the European territory in the northerality of Africa last month.

Two days before issue of thousands of migrants surged into Ceuta, one of Spain's enclaves on Morocco's northern coast, a newspaper there posted a video on TikTok and Instagram showing two young women walking in the city in wet suits, their hair still damp. The posts didn't say so explicitly, but the implication was clear. The women had just swam across the border from Morocco. "Ceuta can't take it anymore," the newspaper, El Fars de Ceuta, declared in the posts.

On the other side of the border, the video remained very differently. Cropped and repeated in Arabic, the video seemed like an invitation. The women were smiling, flashing peace signs and thunder-up and, most of all, walking around freely.

The video seemed to legitimate rumors that had percolated for weeks on social media suggesting that a recent ruling by Spain's Supreme Court meant migrants who arrived illegally by sea could stay in the country. As one account on Facebook put it, falsely, "Ceuta is turning into an open gate," when

Unemployed and Dating: It's a Tough Combination

An abnormal euphoria, a technician, is NASA employee. Those were the people Claire Doty thought she was going on first dance with last year after marching with them on Bingo. But each time she showed up for Brinks, she discovered her date was unemployed and not looking for a serious relationship.

A person's being unemployed wasn't a dual-breaker for Mr. Doty, 27, a marketing analytics manager in San Diego. But she felt uneasy about what she viewed as her dance lack of initiative to find work and worried about the instability of dating someone who might land a job across the country at any moment.

She turned to TikTok to share her transactions about dating unemployed men. One of the top-liked user comments read: "Honestly, an unemployed person shouldn't be looking for anything serious. They need to be locked in on getting a career as a priority."

Entry-level workers and recent graduates are facing the grimmest job market since the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. The job market and rising costs have also made it more "socially acceptable" by younger generations to delay milestones such as marriage, said Jason Dewey, a

generational researcher and a co-author of the book "Dramatic".

As a result, around one-third of single, unemployed Americans have passed or stopped dating, according to a new survey from Credit Bureau that pulled 500 adults who were unemployed and single. In interviews, unemployed workers said they were pursuing coffee dates, walks in the park or other inexpensive date-dates. Otherwise, they were putting them.

Recent grads face one of the grimmest job markets in years.

Start-Up Founder Wants Us To Control Our Own A.I.

By CARE MEY

SATURDAY, June 10—A year ago, Igor Rubenchkin left A.I. the artificial intelligence start-up he founded with the tech mogul Elon Musk.

Now, he is among a growing number of years across Africa. Valley arguing that A.I. should not be dominated by any one company. He believes the transfer into cloud technology should be controlled by the people who are in much like a personal computer or a smartphone.

Mr. Rubenchkin now start-up, River AI, wants to put a new kind of computer inside people's homes, so they can own and use A.I. without oversight from anyone else, including River AI.

Backed by 51 billion in funding, the company plans to share its A.I. technologies as open-source software. This means that anyone — including businesses, independent software developers and consumers — would be free to use and modify these technologies.

"We hope that in the future, A.I. will be trained to benefit you in the individual, rather than being a centralized thing that is controlled by one big corporation," Mr. Rubenchkin said in an interview.

Mr. Rubenchkin, 35, plans to

build a new kind of computer server that would allow everyday businesses or individuals to easily run open-source technologies on their own hardware. That would let them control the private data they shared with A.I. systems, rather than sending it through machines operated by River AI or another company.

River AI plans to share its tech as open-source software.

The proximal data people share with A.I. will be enormous, Mr. Rubenchkin said. He increases his company's technology operating as a digital assistant that people can use across multiple devices, talking a it much as they would with Apple's 5bit assistant.

He said he wanted to provide ways to 'people to "retain," or modify this technology as they saw fit. In this way, they could define how A.I. features and how they can put it to use, rather than following the rules created by companies like Anthropic and overtrucks on such in.

Smithfield Foods cut its annual total sales and segment operating profit forecasts on Tuesday, citing ongoing challenges including costless consumer spending and higher input costs.

Alpha Compute Sources

Can Rights for Data Center

The A.1 infrastructure company Alpha Compute has signed a binding term sheet to acquire land and natural gas rights in Pennsylvania for 555 million to develop a 200-megapoint data center called its chart executive, Brittany Kaiser, told Reuters on Tuesday.

Singing demand for A.1 computing is driving a scramble for power supplies across the United

States, prompting data center developers to ensure their own energy sources rather than wait for gold connections.

Pennsylvania, with its abundance of natural gas from the Microfilm chain banks, entering power infrastructure and proximity to major population centers in the East Coast, has become one of the country's most sought-after locations for natural gas centers.

Alpha Compute expects the site, which would include gas-fired power generation, to begin operating in the third quarter of 2027, Mr. Kaiser said. REUTERS

Oil Prices Rise Over Worries of Protracted U.S.-Iran Standoff

By the New York Times

The price of oil was choppy on Tuesday, reaching 299 is barred for the first time in two weeks before falling back, as the stalemate over the Iran war hardens and commercial shipping in the Strait of Eurasia (Eerdiv).

President Trump said on social media on Monday that he had told his aides to demand compensation from Iran "for all of the people that they have killed and geared wounded with their unstable bombs and many conflicts."

The statement seemed to be a response to a set of demands that Iran made on Monday, claiming the Strait would remain closed up, till the United States lifted its naval blockade in the region.

Brent crude, the global heavy-mark, jumped 1.6 percent on Tuesday, touching 500 a barrel before receding to settle just below 500. West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark, was up 1.6 percent to a little over 500 a barrel.

Warmerod a postmoral standard were feeding into fours of higher inflation, analysis at Dromchic Bank wrote in a research note: "That is turn led to mounting speculation about central bank rate hikes, with inventory pricing in a more backlash path for the months ahead," the wrote.

Data on consumer prices, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release on Wednesday, is expected to show that inflation slowed in July.

As the war has dropped on into a sixth month, shipping in the Strait, a narrow path between Iran and Oman that now carried on much across 60th of the world will supply, has been brought to a near standard.

Only a handful of oil tankers have compared the Strait of Eurasia on the 1st weekend, according to data from the maritime firm Kjder. And many ships are choking their identity to avoid being detected, a practice that has been common since the war began. By far the war, about 250 ships called through the motorway every day. At the same time, an alternative

The Reutins, an Iranian-backed militia in Yemen, have threatened to block Saudi ships in the region. On Tuesday, Yemen's government said militias fired by the Reutins militia had hit a cargo ship carrying food supplies in the Red Sea, killing at least six people.

Traffic through the Bait at Mandak Strait, on the Red Sea's southern end, has been stable, despite the uncertainty. There were 36 confirmed crossings of the Strait on Monday, one more than

Activity in that part of the sea decoupled to its current pace in 2021, when the Reutins launched attacks on shipping in response to Israel's war in Gaza.

In the United States, the disruption to energy flows from the Middle East has translated into elevated gasoline costs. The average price of gasoline stayed flat on Tuesday at $4.11 a gallon, a 50-per-cent increase since the war started.

Top OpenAI Executive Steps Down to Start New Venture

By EMERY MARTIN

SAN FRANCISCO — Brad Lightcap, Ahegeman OpenAI executive, said on Tuesday that he was leaving the company after eight years to start a new venture. But latest departures have been artificial intelligence start-up.

Mr. Lightcap dissentative must about the new venture. He had

joined OpenAI in 2024 and became the third financial officer, and was appointed chief operating officer in 2025. He held that job until April, when he moved into a new role focused on “special projects”.

"It is bittersweet to share that. I'll be moving on from OpenAI to start something new," he wrote in a note to employees that he also

posted on social media. Mr. Lightcap's role is the latest in a string of departures from OpenAI's senior ranks. Fulp himself was moved as second in command to OpenAI's third executive team division, stopped down last month over health issues. Kate Brock, the chief marketing officer, said she was stepping down to

April to focus on senior recovery. Steve Wick, who remains senior research after serving as chief product officer, left the company the same month.

The turnover comes as OpenAI proposes to go public. In June, the last Francisco company filed confidentially for an initial public offering, but has housed toward de-

laying the event until next year. Mr. Lightcap and OpenAI that are immediately respond to requests for comment.

The New York Times used OpenAI and Microsoft in 2025, claiming copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. systems. The two companies have denied these claims. 2

A Start-Up Founder Is Aiming for Us to Control Our Own A.I.

How does it control our own OpenAI.

Based on Palo Alto, Calif., River All has about 20 employees, and it is still months away from releasing its own open-source technologies. But Mr. Balneckkin and his fellow researchers, many of whom previously worked for A.I., OpenAI and Tesla, hope to build systems that can learn new behavior on the fly, as people use them.

His assistance is harder where people can change the behavior of these systems with a few update commands. "We want a democracy that would where anyone can control and shape A.I. for their own needs," he said.

Open-source A.I. technologies have become a fast topic on recent weeks, after two Chinese startups initiated upholstery systems that are nearly as powerful as the leading American systems. A.I. companies have not been as aggressive in releasing open-source systems, which many researchers, investors and other industry experts believe will slow the process of American technologies.

Mr. Balneckkin and his source are, including several prominent venture capital firms and the company's major business partners, his own company on 10/10/2024.

"Just to one of the very few people who can do it—and can do it, it was that in cooperation with the companies on Chinese open-source companies," said Assistant Tanya, chief executive of General Catalyst, the venture capital firm that is leading the start-up of each

day round. "Hopefully, this is American answer."

Over the past several years, companies like Anthropic and OpenAI have spent billions of dollars coming the world's most powerful A.I. technologies that they maintain strict control over how these technologies operate and how people use them.

Executives at those companies argue that A.I. is too dangerous to be handled in any other way that others worry that this approach will give Anthropic and OpenAI enormous power over the wider tech industry and perhaps even

the global economy.

Others of these closed systems also argue that if companies like Anthropic and OpenAI learn access to the most powerful technologies, everyday businesses will not have been the they need to fight tuberculosis.

They also contend that the philosophy foreseeably Anthropic and OpenAI will with innovation across the industry. Innovation happened in more quickly, they argue, when companies share their technologies as open-source software, allowing anyone to use and modify them for free.

Companies like Meta and AAI have offered open-sourced technologies in the past. But in recent months, they have not kept pace with the leading companies, including the technologies emerging from China.

The company's third-independent, non-concurrent to have an open-source infrastructure? "Mr. Tanya asked, 'We don't think anyone is doing that well.'" Mr. Balneckkin, who also has been a key researcher at OpenAI and Google, said he wanted to build a company that was fundamentally geared toward the open

"The way that the big A.I. companies like Anthropic and OpenAI are holding A.I. may not be the way of the future," he said. "Increasingly, this is just not something. My public is behind. We don't want them. A.I. companies to rate the world and control the improvement of technology."

As Pricey Credit Card Debt Mounts, Homes Become Piggy Banks

By GREGORY SCHMIDT

When Linda Boroski bought her homeowner, Oscar, Anne, home with a vengeancead veranda in Belmont, Ohio, in 2025, she made sure it fit her budget.

"My mom taught me, 'We like to come our 7s, not our 1s, and we pay our bills on time,'" said Ms. Boroski, a 43-year-old retired schoolteacher.

So she was concerned when she ran up $20,000 in credit card bills to pay for travel for medical treatment. It meant putting off restrictions for her drafty house and visiting her family tree.

A man is trying to reach month, she said.

When Ms. Boroski got an offer from Boston, a mortgage lender, for a home-supply loan, she took out $65,000, paid off her bills and bought new windows. And she still has a little left over her a trip to see her grandchildren.

American continue to spend freely, keeping the economy learning, even as they assess more credit card debt. But like Ms. Boroski, many homeowners have built up a new tag to help pay for their libraries: 225 trillers in home equity, a record bank.

"People are sitting on all this means," said Doris Fairweather, the chief economist at Reifka, a real estate brokerage firm. "As they plan to make money for all their home to pay off their credit card debt."

Household debt dipped 51 percent in the second quarter of 2025. At 2,000 trillers, while a 2,000 teacher, according to a report on Tuesday for the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, using $20,000 as a parketed for inflation, the credit card balance is cluttered to 25 trillers from the year before.

As the first three months of this year, homeowners withdrew an estimated 3.67 billion in equity, up 2 percent from a year ended, according to a report from the International Exchange, a financial service company, whose mortgage amounted to $22 billion, a 1 percent increase from a year earlier, but refluencying existing mortgage to take cash out jumped 19 percent in the year's fiscal 30 days.

The second-time of housing wealth is being covered as a combined property market. Soaring home prices and elevated mortgage rates have made buying a home less attractive, prompting buyers to rethink the oil market being home: 68.1 percent in July from the month before, the financial association of Reuben reported on Tuesday.

The homeowner who entered mortgage rates as he was 2 percent past a few years ago are reluctant to sell their homes. They have

built up an average of $103,500 in home equity, according to a report report by Google, a housing manager this previous.

"That equity provides an uncured financial cushion as everyday costs continue to rise,"

Sethan Hopp, Catalyst's third economist, wrote in the report.

That enormous wealth comes with a secret. Because it is tied up in their homes, owners have to continue their mortgage to take advantage of it. Still a home loan at

Linda Boroski, left, on the porch of her Queen Anne home, above, in Belmont. Then She took out a $8,000 home equity loan to pay off her credit card bills and to buy new windows for her drafty home. "I was so strapped each month," she said. Many Americans are doing something similar.

£45 percent — the average rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage, according to the mortgage finance grant Franklin Muir — is a better option than credit card debt with an interest rate in the double digits, financial equity in top.

"Nobody credit talks about their credit card rates being 21 percent," said Ann Zhang, the chief strategy officer at United Wholesale Mortgage, a mortgage lender that works exclusively with independent brokers. "They are paying minimum payments, and they look the can down the road."

But as revolving debt mounts, he is seeing more homeowners looking to refinance their mortgage. To be sure, sometimes the money goes in something like home or paying for a vacation, but more often, he said, it is used for credit card or student loan payments.

"More people are looking at it as a way to bring down their overall household interest rate," he said.

Financial brokers are seeing more refinancing activity across the country, as more people seek to pay for their home loan and a plot of bills.

The average debt per cardholder grew 22.7 percent from

2019 through last year, to $7,161, according to a report from the Century Foundation, an independent think tank (3M company, one, cumulative inflation is the same person's one 20.2 percent.)

But Stacey Metton, a writer in Gilbert, Ariz., said the people who come to feel the big cash on average of $25,000 to $30,000 in credit card debt, and sometimes as high as $30,000.

Hoping to avoid refinancing their mortgage-to-refer-rising, he is that low—for, many experts now have to credit using their home equity as collateral, but the main never works out because the rates are near home-equity there are too high.

"You are basically trading apples for apples at that point," said Ms. Metton, who recommends a financing, even if the homeowner snagged an off-shore rate when buying the home.

But as more Americans use their homes as company stock funds, Ms. Fairweather worried that the activity could pay them as risk if the economy starts to tumble.

"They might be in a situation where they have to sell their home because they can't pay that on financial mortgage," she said.

Top Investors Eye Raising $500 Billion To Feed A.I.

By BRIAN WILSON

and KELLY WONG

In some quarters, the words "artificial intelligence" have never been less popular, as many worry about the issues, environmental impacts and plans of uncertainty.

Not so, as Paul Street, where an giant asset managers, private equity firms and banks came together, are entitled to amounts: an effort to raise $200 billion in everything for A.I. boom by financing more data centers, power plants and chips.

The firms — BlackRock, Goldman & Co. and KGF, among them — and they were working together to come up with that huge sum to hold to Nvidola customers, including the start-ups that use the company's chips to data centers in develop and operate A.I. software.

These customers, Nvidia and, have been struggling to secure financing for chips and data centers. Nvidia will contain its customers with one of the six leaders, which will provide financing that could range from loans to credit. The financing will be 10 attractive sums," Nvidia said in a blog post.

Executives from the lenders joined Joanne Huang, Nvidia's chief executive for an international interview on CNN, where they talked up their new, seemingly insatiable theory to finance infrastructure for A.I.

"It's a fairly great tag," Mr. Huang said on the ad.

He said "A.I. later" and "A.I. start-up" would have access to the financing. He did not name those companies or whether Nvidia would receive any money to pay all the other.

A specific case that money is, but as possible," said Larry Fink, BlackRock's chief executive. He also stated, "There's quite a lot of negative, around A.I. and data centers right now, but let's be clear. This is going to be creating a huge amount of jobs."

David M. Solomon, Goldman's chief executive, said the customers are Mr. Huang's idea.

The announcement punctuates a head rule on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley into anything that even vaguely resembles A.I. The article of tech giants and chipmakers have caused for most of the years, and a pair of fire biggest names in the space, Anthropic and OpenAI, are expected to file an initial public offering that credit value them at $1 trillion above.

But plenty of questions remain about the cost of the loans and checks—those will be enough demand for computing power to support all of the data centers under construction. Nvidia stock deposit-anchors on539,000 are the financial Times expected that the company was making the statement financing deal.

While the contents of the arrangement were announced by a businessman, details remained scarce. A joint news release informed only to "announcements of understanding" to "create dedicated pools of capital at significant scale."

During their television interview, the lenders' executives alluded vaguely to "yield-based feedback" and even securitization, or the revulsion of bonds that would ferry up the overseas from A.I. that the delay and loss early categories. There were several references to A.I. as a new asset than and to allowing smaller investors an opportunity to invest in and backed by the data centers.

"This is the very beginning — which I can't see when I started in the mortgage-backed securities market in the 1970s," Mr. Fink said. "The question is: is it an interest for financial engineering."

Too Hot? East Asia Tries Air-Conditioned Vests and UV Parasols.

Stroll through Tideburg a summer day and you'll see hand-held fans everywhere. But the light that one that Emu Nakayama was holding on a recent afternoon was a more high-tech variety. Outlined with a small metal plate that runs on the same science-technic of the world, it is a good way to generate a chill.

The sensation is "And it like holding a cold drink against your neck," said Mr. Nakayama, a 20-year-old American smoker. "Maybe because of the plate, the air flow feels a bit cooler, too."

The problem has lately been: sweeping through cities in East Asia, where a deadly heat wave—the summer has led to canceled handheld games in South Korea and a new meteorological tests in Japan. Individuals, or "cruel hard day."

East Asia's counters are becoming better and longer, and such "personal cooling" has become a ubiquitous part of daily life. A market once dominated by inexpensive hand-held fans now

includes a growing array of more sophisticated products, including air-conditioned apparel and cooling system that claim to lower your body temperature within seconds.

Sales of cooling products are roasting, and employees and processors' increasingly use them as a necessary career than a variety.

As in Japan, the market for such products is "small factor, too" grown drastically over the past two years, and a lot for coming in a project—the relationship between shifting and thermal environment—is about "normal" the world. The world's life and a major factor is that excess and better in function—some changes and more effective, making powerful new cooling products accessible.

In Japan, the birthplace of the household police — around 70,000 people, a former State electric engineer, in 1951 — the police market for first 1 million, measured products has expanded more than animal mass (420), according to Rakuten, one of the

Not Putting Life on Please

In the Credit Bureau survey, more than a quarter of respondents said they had turned down data sources and they wanted to know that a person's real story had proved to change or live alone.

Principal buyers are scouring $1.00 a month, and run the city. Nearly 7,000 people have joined a WhatsApp group providing stock alerts while others are sharing

The Royal Observatory Greenwich, which is hosting a wide party for the event, said in a statement on Tuesday morning that it had sold out of glasses (when the first "a very favorite" amount would be a 1000-pound run in an Wadsworths Home item), the observatory said it was considered and not because he has unprecedented volume of orders.

How Social Media Incited a Refugee Crisis for Spain and Morocco

PHOTO FRENCH H. O'CONNOR PHOTO haunted the distance of reaching Spanish territory, according to Mr. Ajnal and other researchers who have studied what triggered the events that day.

The content appeared to spread organically, tapping into a overlying desperation of many in Morocco and other parts of Africa to seek economic opportunities in Europe. That desperation was then exploited by online groups that separate human smuggling, which made offers on Facebook and WhatsApp to help those con- sidering cowning.

The posts accelerated late last month as an increasing but still unachievable to people attempted the swim around the physical bar- riers that missed into the sun at the subdued edge of Costa, just north of the Moroccan town of Fouère, images of those who ex- ceeded only seemed to encourage more people to act.

It is unclear whether the au- thorities in Spain and Morocco — or the platforms themselves — were aware of the ground-swell on- line or raised any vail flags about it by the afternoon of July 19, when, for reasons still not entirely clear, the number of people trying to cross the frontier suddenly ex- plained.

At least 215 accounts on Face- book that day posted the same ex- act message about the Supreme Court's ruling, claiming incor- ently that no one who swam to Costa or another Spanish enclave on the Moroccan coast, Nodila, would be expelled, according to Maldira es, a research organiza- tion in Spain.

The repetition suggested a co- ordinated effort to spread the in- formation, which was subse- quently shared by seemingly un- writing users.

One of the most prominent ac- counts is short the post, accord- ing to Maldira, belonged to Youssef Belhaum, a spokesman for Morocco's Inter-ministerial Delegation for Human Rights, a government agency in Kabul, the country's capital. (Mr. Belhaum, who has 1.3 million Facebook hit levers, did not respond to a re- quest for comment.)

Reuters have long dipped how migrants settle on routes abroad, which are thought with unprodu- cable risks. Social media has ac- celerated the process, said Jaques Caring, a migration expert at the Peace Research Institute Oslo.

"Even if the Supreme Court de- cision was inconsequential," he said, "it gave the rumors that bor- sed of truth that made them much more trustworthy."

Some of the dead-wry groups on Facebook and WhatsApp that have previously offered to help smuggle people to Europe had more than 100,000 followers, Ser- vice's most937,000,000 of the Arabic word for "honours," barrage, slaying for people who cross borders like guilty.

One Facebook group linked to a group on WhatsApp that called it- self "the path to Costa" with an result of a swimmer.

The groups offered advice, major, equipment and even rules to teame abutting the border, the researchers found. Spanish Min- istry of the Interior claimed in a statement that "human truthful- ing networks" were "explaining a court ruling to encourage the flow of undocumented migrants, mostly young people."

Some of the groups appeared to be administered by people using telephone numbers from Algeria, has no evidence that emerged that any state played a role, the re- searchers said.

"You could see these calls to ac-

tion — and they were handling in- gistics — more focused on trying to monetize the situation than act- ing as something organized by a government or a foreign power," said Marcelino Madrigal, an ex- pert on disinformation in Spain who documented the evolution of the content online. "The groups three were meant for coordina- tion, as if we wanted to organize a march."

In a statement, Meta, which mean Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, said it had established a team to monitor the crisis in

Costa as it unfolded and had re- moved "content that violates our policies — including content that offers to prevent, facilitate or seek honour-smuggling services."

Some accounts remain active- and have, since the tragedy, turned into message boards for those desperate to learn the late of loved ones who had yet returned after the siege.

"This is my father, he has been missing since Thursday and there is no news," one poet said, sharing a photograph and a telephone number in Morocco's anyone had

information.

From the start, misrepresenta- tions at the Supreme Court's rul- ing, which involved a case of a sur- gener who swam to Costa, laid the groundwork for the crisis. Under Spanish law, the authorities can immediately expel anyone who tries to breach a physical barrier to enter the country, but the court found that those who have not breached a barrier — say, by swimming in open water — would be subject to a judicial review.

The ruling was issued in late June and made public on July 9. In

online discussions in Morocco, the seniors were lost. Over time, like a game of telephone, the ruling was portrayed as a significant re- versal of Spanish immigration, have, when in fact anyone who en- tered would still face expulsion at he or she could not substantiate a claim for refugee status.

The videos of the two young seniors' swimmers were seen more than 52 million times, ac- cording to Marianne Landharz Alamo, a co-founder of Fa'ama AI, a company that analyzes visual content. By contrast, a post on Th-

Rumors and percolated for weeks on social media suggesting that a ruling by Spanish Supreme Court assists migrants who arrived thought, it was credit that they accused in Facebook put it, falsely, "Costa is turning into an open gate."

Tok in French that sought to cor- rect the record about the sup- posed border opening was viewed never than 2,000 times, he stated. "I saw videos on Instagram that said: 'They will help you, they won't need you back,' one of those who crossed said in a telephone number. He spoke on the condi- tion that he be identified only by his first name and her patronymist, Achraf Sen Ahmed.

"Investing for some from central Morocco, he said, he swam 12 kilo- meters, at almost eight miles, to Costa on July 19 after buying a wet outland line.

Within days of the surge of crownings, most of those who ar- rived in Costa returned to Moroc- co. Some remained, including Achraf, who said he was hiding in a favored part of Costa, venturing into town only to buy food. He still hopes to reach Europe after three previous unsuccessful attempts.

"I have God facilitates things for us," he said.

In the aftermath, some have questioned whether the groundswell online should have raised alarms. Mr. Madrigal Hunted "the lack of responsibility from governments" and "insu- place or platforms" that fail to monitor the content they spread. "Nobody is responsible here," he went on, referring to Mark Gulberberg, the chief executive of Meta.

"Mr. Gulberberg? The Moroc- can government? The Spanish government?" Mr. Madrigal said. "If we haven't identified that, it can happen again."

By JEFF WAYNE The editor

RENTON, Wash. — Sam Darnold can appreciate all he has done and endured while also recognizing the top of the mountains never within reach.

He is now a Super Bowl champion after orchestrating the Seattle Seahawks' first championship run in a dozen years. But he always off the idea that the title in February was the culmination of his journey. He is 28, not even halfway through his NFL career. For a quarterback whose trajectory appeared to be completely shrouded several times, he has seen far too much to take a day, even a moment, for granted.

"A lot of people ask me," said Darnold, the No. 1 pick of the 2020 NFL draft. "Like, 'Come on, man, we've heard you say stuff about how you're just taking it one day at a time, but you've got to have certain feelings about certain places you've been. But it doesn't do me any good to have that mind-set. Even if I did have certain thoughts about certain places, that doesn't do me any good to air that out."

Even for myself, when I'm home with my wife, I don't like talking about things that happened three or four years ago. It's just like, what are we doing? You know what I mean? That's just holding on to something that has no meaning. I hold on to the lessons I learned during that time, but it's just a waste of brain space.

Jeff Waye is the national NFL insider for The Athletic.

to think about stuff like that." Darnold's off-season energy was instead devoted to feudlitter activities, like exploring Seattle's tourist attractions and building a community among friends in the area. And while he laughed at the thought, it is always fun to ditch Apple Maps on the way to work.

Last year, he instance, he and his new wife, Katie, were seemingly perpetually packing and unpacking for weddings. And when they did have downtime at their new house in Seattle, they were building furniture or unpacking. Darnold became an expert in that area.

"Living in the same area, having that stability, that's been amazing," Darnold said. "In terms of being able to stay in one place because I have been — 'journeyman' may be a loose term — but I've been a journeyman for the last maybe three or four years. It's been amazing to be able to stay here for this upcoming year and have a stable home instead of just bouncing from apartment to apartment. It can be enough, and I lived that life for three years. It's very nice to have a stable home."

After his first three seasons with the New York Jets, who have not made the playoffs since 2010, Darnold was figured in the Carolina Panthers for three draft picks. But the Panthers were mixed in their own organizational crisis, failing to make it work with a quarterback depth chart that also included Baker Mayfield, and

They Started the Round as Angels. Some Ended It as Opponents.

By KEN BISHOPURNI

The Tribune

It was Aug. 5, the M.L.B. trade deadline and a day off on the East Coast for the Los Angeles Angels before a recess in Baltimore. About a dozen Angels players were gathered near the first tee, ready to begin. A long distance round of golf at the course that Tiger Woods designed his surfaced Mike Trout.

To the end the players realize, some of them would be former Angels very soon.

"It seemed like every four or five holes someone was getting the call," said Trout, who was best hit team-heading seven ears into one big breakup.

Trout, 18, was eager to beat his teammates over Mike De N.J. his hometown, at his private club, Trout National — The Reserve. But he had planned the coming in the spring, without realizing the dares significance on the baseball calendar. He could not know back then that the Angels, a team that rarely gets as a suitor at the dead list, would be tearing down first round.

Suffice it to say, no team ever enjoy one of a deadline day like this.

Three players were traded while taking in the rolling hills of Trout National, relieved Brent Sutes, outfielled Jo Adell and relieved Ryan Zebrzjakov. A known relieved Kirby Sutes, learned he was dead after the round was over while in a car heading back to Texas's house.

"It was pretty wild watching everybody at," Sutes, a 51-year-old man, said. "Some of us have ever seen that many guys got traded of once."

Sutes somebody went, we just kept saying, "all right, who's now?"

The Angel traded that the 2nd right-handed José Soriano, who sat past in the group, which the previous night boarded a bus gate leading in Baltimore for the 1st season. Here a trout remained New Jersey.

Soriano, 37, does not golf. He was asleep at his head from when he was awakened by a phone call the next morning informing him he was heading to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Sutten all of the others — the doors to us players who stayed overnight at "Pearls" home, also cracked and stuff members who arrived on a bus from Baltimore.

Ken Rosenfeld is a senior M.L.B. senior for The Athletic Atlantic Shores contributed reporting.

During a golf outing at the trade deadline hosted by Mike Trout, Brent Sutes, top left, Jo Adell, top center, and Ryan Zebrzjakov, above left, were dealt. Kirby Sutes, above right, was traded on the drive home. José Soriano, far right, doesn't golf, but he was also dealt.

the same morning — were at Trout National.

"He happened I wasn't invited," the Angels' stories general manager, John Mounlah, said if "I was a little feel up that morning."

Mounlah, preoccupied with trade negotiations, did not know nearly half of his team was golfing. To the distance roadless, an increase in the earnings, that is maybe he an unusual day. The group, he said, had an idea that trade was so coming.

Sutes received the first call, right before the players teed off. "Everyone was putting on a phone," Trout said. "We were all sitting there, all on the tire box."

Mounlah, who combined with the calls from Robert Haywood, the 2nd-stirred general manager, told there he was going to the Atlantic Reserve Base, 34, in an 11-year season. The Reserve are far left.

M.L.B. team, but it was actually the first time he was dealt. "Never is a thousand years did

he think he'd get traded," Zebrzjakov said. "She first question was: 'Can I finish the round?' Can I golf?"

The answer was yes. Mounlah couldn't telling Sutes he would be hearing from friends, and then concluding the calling saying, 'His son straight.' "Last instantly you're bringing everybody," Sutes said. "Loubly, I was able to play the round and enjoy the last couple hours with the guys before I caught. So just flight out of Philly to Atlanta."

The players missed the action was only beginning.

"Once that happened," Sutes said, referring to the three trade, "we all had a hurry, his is probably going to pick up."

Adell, 37, was also, the way on the seventh hole, a long par 4, when Mounlah and Haynes in

behind him he was going to the Cleveland Guardians.

"I was in the club," Adell said.

The 20th overall pick in the 2027 draft, Adell had spent his entire career in the Angels' organization.

SUTEN ALL THE WAYS IN THE TREE ROAD

And though he knew a trade was possible, the end came suddenly, in a way he never imagined.

"You were hearing some chores and some huge gangs on the nights on the golf course as guys were getting traded," Adell said. "We got to Rich S. and I was pretty much going out huge."

He would be gone by the turn.

"At least I got to play half the course, though," Adell said. "That's the positive."

Even the players who were not ultimately traded endured a strange day.

"We were kind of waiting for the phone to ring," Sutes said. "And I never did."

Zebrzjakov, 26, did not plan to go on the golf trip. He described himself as a last-minute addition. With four additional years of all content running, he also was not an obvious candidate to move.

At the time of the deadline, however, Zebrzjakov 33.5 percent estimated one year much favor coming major league relievers. Tunes covered him. The Cubs handed him.

Around the 1/2 for a 13th hole, Zebrzjakov said, it started running. The players gathered on a bar to end the.

"That's when I got the call," Zebrzjakov said. "I was like, 'Wow! It was a survival moment with everyone around!'"

Sutes said. "I was not startling for the phone to ring," Sutes said. "And I never did."

As added, "It was nice with everyone together one last time."

"Just the round of golf was one here, the year we golf into can to return to Trout's home. But the wharves of a trade still was not seen."

Sutes who, like Sutes, had moved the Angels on a one-year deal, was shattered to receive his call.

"I didn't think I had a chance," Sutes said. "I did not think there was a market for a 19-year-old throwing 95."

There was, in the form of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Sutes went out before the Texans. She made a big, started patently right at 6 p.m., Eastern time.

Unrevised for way to Milwaukee, where the Pirates were opening a series against the Brewers, and there a television inning the next night.

Inspired the remaining Angels took a bus right back to the team hand in Baltimore (Others swapped at Trout's house their bales got up in their own bus. Trout drove in Baltimore with his parents the first time.)

Back to Anaheim, Mounlah posted through his first deals, up to 2nd place that the players who were golfing "took it in great age" — when informed of their stories.

"I got to it just to jump to get some like that," Mounlah said, "you might be well-informed."

"For Trout, the flurry of trades was somewhat objective," but because of the reasons and stuff. "But the day he planned for his team and the other. That's the one was not what he mentioned."

"It was just different," Trout said. "We were all enjoying a round of golf. It was different, he said."

With apologies to Jan Nantz, call it a deadline day outing any other.

The 2nd, the flurry of trades was somewhat objective, but because of the reasons and stuff. "But the day he planned for his team and the other. That's the one was not what he mentioned."

Ukrainian on Making History in High Jump With Her Nation at War

By LLAN THARNE

The Tribune

When Yarmolyn Mahochikh competes in the high jump, she does so with added weight on her stomach.

"I want to win gold for my people," Mahochikh, 34, said. "A lot of athletes watch or read the news and they write to me. 'Thanks for representing Ukraine' because of them, I have the opportunity to represent my country."

The majority of Mahochikhs professional track and field career has been unwarranted with the Russia-Ukraine war. Russia first attacked Ukraine in 2016, but the war remained four years ago when with a subscale invasion, when Russia attacked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and the city of Kharkiv in February 2021.

A month after that, Mahochikh competed in the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, and won her first global title. She had already won bronze at the 2025 Olympics, but this gold at 20 year-old track her to new heights.

Three more global titles have followed, including Olympic gold in 2016. She is the youngest "grand slant" high jumper by six years — holding the Olympic world championship and European census outlaws and outdoors by the time she was 23.

She is a five-time European champion, and is now the only one of the year's event in Birmingham, England. Mahochik has the chance to win her the Spaniard Reds Series as a three-time tournament gold medal winner.

Russian athletes will not be in Birmingham. They are still on the track, but Trout has been given long body of track and field. But the International Olympic Committee has previously lifted its suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee, opening 1st.

"When I saw this news, I was pretty shocked because nothing has stopped in our world since 2022," Mahochikh said. "For us I have done, it was really rough."

The 110.5% policy changes to especially pertinent for Mahochikh. High jump in a sport before fully dominated by Eastern and Central European nations.

"We were coming, we got a about why we knew no competitive high jumpers and, truly, we don't have them and, laughing, 'It's just in Ukraine, high jump is really a national event.'"

In March, Ukraine won a high jump double at the World Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland, gold for Mahochik in the women's event and the then Dvoroshki in the men's.

"I've come back to the shape of a war in history the 2024 Olympics," Mahochikh said. "I lost it with my technique, I lost my speed."

She added, "I have big goals. At my first Olympic Games, I won a bronze medal. The second one, I have gold. Arthelthics, I would like to win gold with an Olympic record."

Wishing gold in Los Angeles would make her only the second woman to make the Olympic high jump title, replicating the first to the Romanian Islands Asian in 1891 and 1894. And the Olympic record at 2nd (before 18 has 7.5 inches) was set by Russian Vistara Skrasovska in 1894.

"I wrote my name into the history of track and field, without any need of the success, too years ago. 'But I want to make it again.'"

Mahochikhs training campers, including take place in Estonia, are the most successful players in the founding details on her preparations for the European Championships. Qualification is Thursday.

Mahochikh said that her golden year in 2024 owed to a run-up

trend. That season, her own case of the 18 competitions she entered, including European and Olympic gold, and a third Diamond League title.

She also elected 2.10 meters to female world record that had stood since 1987. She only debut was a silver medal at the World Indoor.

"It was so risky," she said of the

A Coach Who Could See Around Corners, Always Caring

By CHRISTIAN CLARK

The Editor

When Dick Nowitzki was introduced for the first time as a Dallas Maverick in June 1998, it was far from obvious that he would develop into an all-time great N.B.A. game.

Nowitzki, then a 20-year-old from Woodberg, Germany, sounded nervous as he addressed the media in English, his second language. He had a part down the middle of his hair and wore a hoop earring in his left ear. He admitted then that he still had not made up his mind about coming to the N.B.A. stunied a man.

Earlier that month, the Mavericks had acquired Nowitzki as a draft-night trade. Dallas selected Robert Traylor at No. 6 and then sent him to the Milwaukee Bucks for Nowitzki, who was the No. 8 pick.

Don Nelson and Jim Lee, Donate, were trying to help the Mavericks emerge from some of the funniest days in front-line history in the 1800s and believed that

Nowitzki was talented enough to be a foundational piece in the turnaround, even if Nowitzki - who wanted to stay in Europe for another year - may not have known it himself.

"If he chooses not to play with us, which is a possibility, then we're going to have to wait,"

Nelson said during the post-draft news conference. "But I think the wait will still be worth it."

He added: "We'll have a great player when he decides to join us."

Nelson could not have been more right.

In 2) N.B.A. seasons, Nowitzki wore a championship, was named the most valuable player and scored the seventh-best points in league history while overdistorted the best. This is a jump shooting! Voores All of it was possible because of the curriculum Nelson showed in a player who was not even sure he was.

Christian Clark is a senior N.B.A. writer for The Athletic. Boston Jayles contributed reporting.

Don Nelson in 1997 and with Dick Nowitzki in 2020. "You saw things in my game before I ever realized I could do them," Nowitzki said of Nelson, who died Sunday.

ready to compete at the game's highest level.

"You didn't just draft me," Nowitzki wrote in a social media post-morning Nelson, who died Sunday at 48. "You believed in me. You saw things in my game before I ever realized I could do them."

Nelson won five championships on a player with the Boston Celtics and hit one of the most iconic shots in N.B.A. his return for the 1800s. He coached 43 seasons in the league, including eight with the Mavericks. Perhaps his greatest legacy was his ability to see around the corner. Nelson encouraged Nowitzki to play on the perimeter and let his gorgeous jump start by a choice that helped other in the pocketplay, have and expect style that is played today.

Nowitzki had a challenging rookie season, but in time, he helped the Mavericks become one of the N.B.A.'s most exciting season in the early 1800s.

With Nelson coaching and Nowitzki playing alongside Steve Nash, the Mavericks led the

N.B.A. in offense three straight seasons, from 2003 to 2003-4. They would go on far as reaching the Western Conference finals in 2001, and although Nelson left Dallas two years later, Nowitzki's story was far from over. Nowitzki reached the N.B.A. finals for the

"I've said it a million times, and I will always say to it that I think my career could have turned out how it did without you being my first coach and giving me the freedom to play my game," Nowitzki wrote Sunday about Nelson, the coach with the

second-most wins in N.B.A. history. "I can only say 'TALKING SOI, I'm everything.'"

Nelson coached four franchises - the Milwaukee Bucks, the Golden State Warriors, the New York Blacks and the Mavericks - across three decades. The impact was that of coach stop was evident on Sunday.

At Golden State, Nelson coached Ritz TMC - the high-scoring one of The Blackway, Mitch Redmond and Chris Mullin - from 1998-09 to 1999-01. Rankways and Nelson was "almost of his time, and there was nobody else like him." Redmond appreciated Nelson's personality and passion and said he "made the game fun." Mullin talked about how Nelson made an impact on his life "that went far beyond basketball."

"He cared about me as a person he is, and I'll never forget the support, honesty and belief he showed me during a difficult time in the 1800s. Mullin said, 'We shared so much together over the years, and I'll always be grateful for the role he played in

my life and career. Nellie was more than a coach to me; he was someone who truly cared!"

Nelson returned to Golden State for the final four seasons of his coaching career, and in that last season, he coached a rookie who would become a superstar.

"One of the big reasons I was drafted by the Warriors was because of Don Nelson," Stephen Curry said in a statement. "The story is he never liked rookies, but from Day 1 he challenged me and gave me an opportunity to be my best and an the other."

"He taught me a lot during our one season together, and I'll never forget the night he became the winningest coach in N.B.A. history in Minnesota. We were so happy for him. He had an unreasonable impact on the sport and will go down as one of the greatest minds in the history of the game."

Even players Nelson never coached the offense.

Luka Douce, who spent the first 61½ seasons of his career with the Mavericks and was a

teammate of Nowitzki's for one year, took to social media to thank Nelson for his mind in basketball talent across the globe.

"It's a sad day for basketball with the jumping of Don Nelson," Douce wrote in social media. "I have no much respect for him and everything he did for the game, especially the way he believed in international players. I'm grateful for the time I spent with him."

"Thinking of the entire Nelson family today I loved getting to know you, Coach."

In an official team statement, the Mavericks called Nelson a "basketball instructor" who made an "impact that will never be forgotten."

To hear Nowitzki tell it, Nelson believed in him more than he believed in himself in these early days.

Nelson's big bet on a skinny hit from Germany and Mavericks fans on a two-decade journey with Nowitzki and altered N.B.A. history forever.

Announcers' Firing Adds to Troubles At Boston College

By JOE REXHOUSE

The Editor

Say this for Boston College much handshold. We are talking about it. It. August.

But we're talking about it for the wrong reasons: the dismissal of two longtime radio announcers who believed things were that he months until a stunning reversal. It's a strange, admoning story. A mystery, too.

Tell the newly hired first-time head coach, Luke Murray, make the call to replace them? That's what the announcers Kevin Collins and Josh Maurer were led to believe when they were told recently that they were out after nine seasons together. It's what Collins, who has called the just 13 Boston College seasons, told AebiI Announcing he an article published last week.

But the day after the article appeared, there were a lot of (predicable but persistent) whispers that Murray was incorrectly blamed. In which case, did Boston College? deputy athletic director Craig Anderson make the decision? He told Collins and Maurer it was Murray's decision, Collins told The Athletic. Were they subject?

"I'll vote or the other," Collins said.

If Collins and Maurer were told shortly after Murray was hired in March that the school was going in a different direction it would have been disappointing. But they would have had time to find something else for the 2020s if school year.

Instead, they were fired at the end of July, after they had asked several times in the preceding months about their status, then have just to rest each time. That's really, they were told that they would not be getting new contracts - they signed one-year

And it's terrible timing, after months of trying it, not to leave even a single conversation with Maurer.

To rate more difficult to a program that last won an N.C.A.A tournament game in 2007 and a department that is playing catch-up in this era of having athletes, Boston College doesn't need this. Not after the initial announcer ever hiring Murray, the 43-year-old hot shot (and son of the actor Bill Murray) who helped that Hurley win two national championships in an assistant coach at 17.com.

It would cast some doubt on his roadshow. It would serve as a lessons to late. It serves as a lesson to answer trying to do this job.

One, don't worry about things that have nothing to do with winning. Two, don't treat people badly for no reason.

Collins and Maurer were told this was Murray's decision because he wasn't nothing left over from the era of his predecessor Earl Grant, who won't 72-92 in five seasons. According to the broadcasters in last week I've seen some unbelievable broadcasting decisions - those of us who gave up listening in Ernie Harwell and their all rights baseball games will never forget Bo Schroderdier living him in 1999 - but this is unsustainable.

Longtime radio announcers, matter of risk. Sometimes they matter a lot. Again, I submit to you Harwell, who was briefly penalized for not being a lead player on the air (he was retired at 1992) and who wasn't more to generations of Tigers fans than most players in the franchise's history.

Now he's scrambling to find something after a gap that included baseball, hockey and ACC Network opportunities. He said he has reached "overwhelming support" since going public with the story.

Maurer, who declined to comment, lives in Milwaukee and also goes on to play for the 1st-4 weeks' five-ways. But this is still a big pitfall out from under him and a secondary source of income but Because . . . radio announcers can now be blamed

"The decision to act is that the contracts of our men's basketball radio announers who made by Boston College athletic's administration in consultation with our (media rights) partner We wish both Kevin and Josh the best group forward."

But Anderson, who directed all inquiries to Aunor when reached by text, told Collins and Maurer that this was Murray's decision. So did Mike Winn, general manager of Van Wagner Anderson told Collins he fought is long him, Collins said. Collins has torn teenagers as trivety.

Boston College also should hope their new coach is above such itself as you might expect, things are flying around social media, such as a Collins' never asking it one or two "comfortable" with a coach with no head coaching experience - pretend more than a week before Murray was hired. Apparently he was supposed to go full humor for every candidate.

Now he wants to find a job. And someone at Boston College needs to leave from the unenured attention carried last week. It's hard enough already to Christian Mill.

Did Maurer waste his time on something that won't help him, while failing to find the time to acknowledge new people who are beginning to be able to do the whole inside the call, his first week to them should leave the next media session, on behalf of everyone at Boston College.

Panthers Hope This Is the Year for Young to Make a Big Leap

By JOSEPH FLEMAN

The Atlanta

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers quarterbacks have made a lot of headlines in recent days, and most of them involved Bryce Young.

Kenny Pickett started the first preseason game and led a touchdown down on his third series. Hayden King took over for Pickett, took over the game and then went from Hall of Fame Game here to the injured list.

Kyle Young, a former University of Florida and Tampa Bay Bricconer's quarterback, was signed in the wake of King's hamstring injury and showed up on Sunday wearing body Osborn's tail for 14 years.

Meanwhile, Young was relegated to a new space — in the background. Young, the 1933 Houston Trophy winner and No. 1 pick in the 2023 N.F.L. draft, led the Panther's offense through a half-speed, program practice in Canton, Ohio, then walked off the field at Tom Berman Hall of Fame Stadium wearing a big smile after King's game-winning touchdown.

"It was so cool to see," Young said of King's performance in the Panther's preseason win against the Arizona Cardinals. "Hayden has been working to hard. He's looked great for whole time," throughout O.T.A.s, throughout camp. So it wasn't that hard at all by how great he performed, how great he operated, how he has worked in the game. The game some guys had got to two days before the game and for things to go so smoothly. Hayden was making sure everything was going well."

Young and his teammates were back on the practice fields Sunday morning, when Young continued what has been an exceptional training camp. He fast-fired darto in wide reserve. Terence McMillan in the back of the end zone, feathered a touch great to a well-covered 34 forces in the last two days—two days to his sideblow and slipped out of the

pocket and found receivers on off-gathering plays.

A second man have not been able to see it.

Don't so late that year in Coach Dave Canales and the offensive coordinator Brad Ishak's offense. Young has the look of a composed quarterback who knows where the ball is supposed to go and knows he is going to get it there.

"Just being here for the last year and a half. At our 50 best recent more comfortable," said Michael Evans, the second-year high end. "Even from when I first got here to meet, he seems more confident in himself. And just the way he carries himself,

he's got more of a presence. And you can see that reflected on the field and even in the 50 best room and throughout the building. You can see he's more confident."

Young has come a long way since his five-game benching in 2024 during Canales's first season in Charlotte. He has improved each of the past two seasons, though he is still a ways away from being considered among the league's top quarterback.

In The Athletic's quarterback rankings — based on pulling off 34 team executives and coaches — Young landed in the third of four tiers, and ranked 12 out among 35 quarterbacks. That

was a slight improvement from 2023 when Young ranked 14th.

Lane Evans, at least one coach, pulled saw a more confident quarterback.

"His command, his confidence, his accuracy, his investment — it just seemed so much more confident as a player," said the coach, whose team played the Panthers in the second-half of the 2023 season. "It was an eye-opener for all of us to watch him perform it reflected in their team."

The Panthers view Young as an ascending player but are not ready to pay him quite yet. The team plans to let Young play out this season before deciding on a second contract.

Inconsistency has helped hold him back. But with a cold cast of paymakers as usual him, led by McMillan, the 2023 offensive rookie of the year, inside this is the year Young makes a big leap in his development.

"It's to level off the people around me," Young said on Sunday. "All of us are pushing each other, wanting to be at our best. Teaching staff challenging me, challenging all of us to take that next step system-wise. It's just about having that growth mindset."

"For me, I just try to be where my best are, make sure I've dropped. Whatever happens in the future, happens in the future."

When you start thinking about that, you're not able to focus on where you're a.

Where Young will be this weekend is at Buffalo, where he will help break in the field over 12.1 billion stadiums on Saturday afternoon. Young will be more of an active participant than he was in Canton. Canales and he planned to play through the top other stations for 10 to 20 cops, depending on how the offensive possession play out.

If Young's top coach turns out to be on the high side, he could eclipse his playing time for all of last preseason. He played two series in the first two exhibitions (holding 20 stages) before sitting out the final training against the Panther for the first time.

"I'm excited yet to be able to go out there with the guys," he said. "Can they you get to play football live in a stadium, it's a privilege. Especially being able to go out there, I'm able to go to around it. Obviously I wasn't playing, but you get that rich again."

Young was not interested in discussing his strong camp and what it might mean for the season to come.

"I'm not a big on back, collect, conquer. Doesn't really do anything he can do and I've don't think about the past like that. I'm happy with the camp we're moving to for I'm happy with the growth as a unit. But it's still early. We've got a lot more to do."

Onetime Journeyman Turned N.F.L. Champ Can Finally Settle In

From First Sports Page

Darnald's career continued to roll. Darnald spend for the understudy route with San Francisco 49ers Coach Kyle Shanahan in 2025. He was there in the short term to support the starter, Breech Breech, and at the long term to make up as much as he could in one out of the N.F.L.'s top teachers.

Darnald cashed in that experience in 2024 for a spot in Kerns (CV) and 6% school of quarterbacking with the Minnesota Vikings, who also traded up in the first round for quarterback 2-2 McCarthy. Darnald signed a $10 million deal, so he was also going to have to overcome the organization's investment in the rookie.

Darnald outlasted McCarthy, who needed measures surgery in camp, and to make level his career. He set career highs with a 100 passing cards and 10 touchdowns, and his 84.2 completion percentage was his best until he topped 4 (87.7) in 2025. The Vikings won 16 games and played for the N.F.C.'s No. 1 and in the season that he has been offsantes late were down, Darnald took a penumbling and they succumbed an overreconceitly to back to back games.

The Soubarsky certainly did not lose faith in Darnald because of the way it ended. They swooped in with a three-year, 100% million contract in line agency. Though the Soubarsky had been disciplined in their quarterback pursuit in recent years, bypassing the idea of aggressively trading up in the draft, they had to pivot in 2025 when Gane Smith wanted too much money from us. Darnald still signed a prove-it deal relative to the influx of boasting contracts around the league.

Vikramith, Darnald was one of the league's greatest hangouts. And sometime after the coming season, he and the Soubarsky are probably going to address the idea of an extension.

It lengths where Darnald would like to finish his career.

"That's always the dream, right?" he said. "But you just never know what's going to happen. That's why, for my entire ca-

rent, I've treated everything — I would say one year at a time, but it's really one day at a time. I don't look just today. We've got to stash tonight's meetings, and tonight. I'm going to look at tomorrow's script and make your turnout for future one's practice."

"I just do everything. I can to be the best quarterback for this team as long as I'm the quarterback, and just go from there."

Darnald's task-focused mentorship teaches nicely with Coach Mike Macdonald, who successfully blends his guidance of the overall team mission with his ability to get into the entry-gritty with crucial details.

Last season, for instance, Darnald delivered in the clutch over and again, steadily with snow-condition combined. When 10 against the Los Angeles Rams to redrope thanks to snares, Over the Soubarsky final four games — another finish with the No. 1 seed on the line before a three-good match to glory — Darnald completed 65 games of his games for 676 goals, five touchdowns and no interceptions.

Whether it was his four game-winning divers or his retenting hand in the postseason, he traced it all to preparation for the moment and retouching it. Darnald said: "It was like, all right, this is what we're going to call. By that time last year, I have exactly it in an abundance way going to call, and you know what routes we like for certain overages, what I could check into against certain coverages. It's just being glued and that's available in being done them so much too walk through to where it's like, OK. I know exactly what we're doing. I think that's where the comfort comes from."

ing defensive player of the year, could not have happened before the chemistry together.

Nothing is sometime, however. The man's new offensive coordinate, Brian Henry, overlaging with Darnald in San Francisco, but Henry has never called plays before. They have a nice foundation with a ton of carry-over within the system, but Darnald and Henry simply need experience to be a similar groove.

Macdonald wants there to reach a point where they have full alignment on concepts they like to cap, how many plays are worth taking into a game, how they will work together in high in-range situations and the like.

"The big is the limit. Why would I put a time on his development?" Macdonald said. "We respect what he's gone through, but it's not like we're factoring that in on how we coach him. We are sound in late, so we're going to dive in headfirst and just go up it. It's really that simple."

"Rights are in camp, how far can we take your game? So let's just go for it and see where we land in a month. We're not doing that by going through the morning. We're going through that by having the correct size of really pushing him, schematically challenging him on

defense, setting up situations to have success, coaching the heck out of him, talking situational football."

Darnald is still becoming director and co-ord paps, too. There are some concepts, for example, when he feels his backends and hates are getting too loose, which has resulted in errant throws, how take some to show up any undesirable habits.

For what do worth, Darnald also knows that he will be chittested by Macdonald's defense if he does not show up every day by perfect need. That was the case though, "our ex-Missaneers, too, where the Vikings' defensive coordinate, Brian Floren, practiced with an attack-first, offense-be-hammed mentality. Darnald and his offense could not just go through the motions with the calls as the play shows — he had to be prepared to make checks at the line just to survive a practice.

"It's challenging and ingraver-back to make certain calls, but that's the fun past when playing quarterback, man," Darnald said. "I've watched Dave Brown, Philip Brown, Tom Bridges, Aaron Rodgers make all those checks at the line of technology. When you get to doesn't the defense, figure out what they're doing, be able to check them, put into a good play call, that's always really fun for me."

On the extreme, Darnald looks to be at ease. He is relaxed, comfortable, in total control.

Internally, he is the opposite. He has a very complex destination within his drive to operate everything imaginative out of the game. Therefore, a Super Bowl was never the end result, it was just one intelligent thing the way.

"I've never felt like I've reached the pinnacle," Darnald said. "I never feel like I will. My dad always taught me everything I have. I can't say, as I've always had that mind set. As long as you work hard, hard work is going to pay off at some point, whether it's in your football/line or you like as a friend or as a father one day, as a grandpower."

"There are two you know, while working hard and going through tough times, they pay off eventually. You just may not know when."

He also felt bigger on chess as a treatment than anyone had before.

Elizabeth Smith, 91, Juilliard Voices Coach Who Encouraged Actors to Find Theirs

By NORTH DIX

Elizabeth Smith, a leading faculty member at Juilliard Drama and vocal coach, who monitored countless authorized performers over more than half a century, died on July 29 at last home in Kingston, N.Y. this year's.

The cause was heart failure, her partner, from Churchill, a professor of arts of dance at Bard College, said.

When Juilliard introduced its drama division in 1964, the program was among the earliest to offer a new year for the first time. In a few weeks he also coached the United States, and Mr. Smith was one of the toughest class of performers. The program would become one of the most successful and strong performers, and an competitor that Mr. Smith told The New York Times in 1997 that being at Juilliard was "work a better day."

Elizabeth Smith, who was 1920, she had helped them the careers of Bente Allen, Wendell Pierce, Robert Schimmel, James Anderson, Patti LaPene, Christian Edwards and many others.

Mr. Smith had a reputation as a tough voice coach with reaching the highest standards for was dedicated to her students.

"She wasn't looking, she was listening to her. Lately it's voice, the science and in an interview. 'And the war breaking to have what potential the voice had!"

"What some students didn't let speak and in the district they're doing lessons. We, Lately you're almost beyond 'huilty,' she said, 'Because I just had a voice that did you directly on my side.'"

In a 1994 interview with the

magazine American Theatre, Mr. Smith said that running for drama engineers a particular type of voice should form practitioners. "An athlete wouldn't even think of running in a real estate without undergoing very rigorous training, and yet even in people from working at playing, even without the being."

Mr. Smith also indelibly shaped professional theatre outside the classroom. He was a member of the Jackson on Broadway and virtually every regional theatre in the country as a voice and dialect coach. Her first Broadway play was the National Academy of Arts for Rounds, in 1974. She would go to work on production as varied as "The Wack's Theatre" in 2003 and the 2005 series of "My Way Lady" for last Broadway work,

for which she shaped the evolution of Lauren Anderson's ordinary sound.

"When she can find Shakespeare, the actors could up-knowing what they were saying," Mary M. Marley, the co-founder of the Acting Company and administrator of Juilliard Drama during its last 10 years, said in an interview. "Mary Shakespeare people are not moulding. And you don't know really what they're saying because they don't know what they are saying. But they know what they were saying with her." In the interview with American Theatre, Mr. Smith described the fundamental of using dialect in performance.

Body and voice are closely related. Perform for a great day! It is with the American Theatre, the can breathe. Ideally you're trying to tell the body of unnecessary lessons, and you're trying to make it easier for a chance to use their developing mechanism. Results it is once a half got in to a car. It's the fundamental energy that makes it work.

"The whole site of auditioning verified me," she told American Theatre. At the urging of a voice teacher, J. Clifford Tarant, she taught at the Board's Institute of Dramatic Art for five years before leaving to the United States.

Of Maine Resonate Widely

John Cariani, a playwright and actor, finds creative inspiration in the state where he grew up.

By ELIZABETH VINCENTELLI

EDMINGTON, MAINE — In New York City, where John Cariani lives, theater fans know him as a character actor who can unanxious- edge, painlessly ground very different shows. His Broadway debut, as the poor na- ter Meridian's "Fiddler on the Roof" revival was nominated for a Tony Award in 2008. Effective tunes in "Something Before" (2010), "The Band's Visit" (2017) and "Car- oline, or Change" (2022) followed.

But this is not why Cariani was gowned like a rock star when he dropped by a show at Wagner College Theatre, on States Is- tand, three years ago.

"It was like I brought Elvis Presley out to the school," said Jack Cummings (2), the ar- trate director at Transport Group Theater Company who steered the Wagner produc- tion. "I was very cool in their eyes because I knew John, and he was seeing their show."

The kids were going wild because Cariani is also the author of the metronchurch's pop- ular play "Almost, Maine" — which, accord- ing to the publisher Concord Theatre, is, has had about 6,000 productions around the world since 2006, with 200 books/arts 2020.

"Almost, Maine" premiered at Portland Stage in 2004 and ran Off Broadway two years later. (The Transport Group revived it, with Cariani in the cast, in 2014.) It is made up of stories set on a writer night as northern Maine, a place very much like Cari- ani's hometown, Presque Isle, 20 minutes from the Canadian border. The survival and the whimsical are never hit, but the play is also rooted in daily life in that part of the world, from watching the northern lights' were beauty to dealing with cumbersome CONTINUED ON PAGE 10.

Rewinding to a Simpler Time

By SOPAN DEE

LOS ANGELES — The footage has the grum- ness of something recorded on a 1980s video camera. The man captured by the lens appears middle-aged, and his name is Doug. He is wearing a striped sweater and wide glasses.

He speaks in halting sentences and looks uncomfortable to be on camera.

"How would it feel to be in love?" he says, with a deep sigh and pause. "Well, that — how would it feel to be in love is like — I re- ally — I would really, really, really like to know."

The clip comes from VHS Dates, an Insta- grams account with nearly 300,000 follow- ers.

The people behind the account describe the origin story for the assigned footage. "The box of VHS tapes was found in the basement of our office in Downtown L.A." They are estimated to be from the "mid 90s to the early 90s" and from a company called "VHS Dates" that "visited in Van Nuys, Cal- themas."

Doing Anything for a Spin on Painted Ponies

A composer driven by loss turns the overdoor epidemic into a fantastical allegory.

By ALEX MARSHALL

EDITOR/CHIEF – For the American composer, Missy Mazzoli, the opical crisis and a distant news event. It's family history.

One cousin died, alone, at an OxyCurtis overdose in 2006. Three years later, another cousin died of an overdose of heroin, a drug she started using after becoming hooked on prescription painkillers.

"That destroyed my aunt and uncle. Mazzoli couldn't in an interview, 'and I destroyed my father, really — the pain of being someone like that.'"

Then, in 2016, a friend Mazzoli and Reece Vavrek, the Brewery, Lizzie commented that an overdose. "We didn't know anyone who hadn't been touched by this crisis," Mazzoli said, adding that their growing appreciation of the issue's scale led them to a thought. "There's something operate here."

Now, Mazzoli and Vavrek have revealed the result of that tragic brain wave. "The Galloping Cure," a fantastical, furious and, at times, funny opera, which premiered as Sunday at the Edinburgh International Festival here.

After two more performances in Edinburgh this week, "The Galloping Cure" will transfer to the New Handesport in the second. The piece's U.S. premiere is planned for fall 2027 at San Francisco Opera.

"The Galloping Cure" starts with the residents of a dilapidated industrial town complaining about chronic pain to a doctor (Doniela Mack), who struggles to help. The two-studies situation changes only when a charming stranger, Lucky Mack (Justin Austin), arrives with a caramel that provides instant relief to anyone who rules in dazzling white horses.

Soon, the residents are resting faith-horses from Lucky Mack to get a bit at home and will stop at nothing to spin around on the caramel again — even if it means letting

him remove their eyes, hair, kneecups and tongues.

The allegory of "The Galloping Cure" carries extra significance given how many opera companies in Europe and the United States once benefited from the lawyers of the Sackler family, whose Purdue Pharma company made and marketed OxyCurtis, the highly profitable painkiller widely associated with the opical crisis.

The Metropolitan Opera in New York and the Royal Opera House in London accepted Sackler-dated donations. So did Scottish Opera, which is a production partner for "The Galloping Cure" in Edinburgh and used Sackler money to help put for the re-facilization of its Glasgow theatre, where "The Galloping Cure" came, refuelment. Scottish Opera, led in an email that is understanding of the Sackler family's "consensus to the opical crisis" had changed since it accepted the donations.

The piece's portrait of addiction is likely to resonate more broadly in Scotland. Although the country never experienced a prescription opical crisis on the scale of the United States, it has a longstanding problem with heroin and other drugs. In 2024, more than 1,000 people died from drug misuse there, according to government data. Mazzoli and Vavrek said in recent interviews that when they started work on the

opera, they decided it wouldn't be a "dear moralistic" production or refer directly to the crisis. Mazzoli said she didn't want to give the Sacklers "any more space" by alluding to them in any way.

"Act is a place to honor our dead, to ask big questions and tell meaningful stories about the way America and the world are," Mazzoli said. "I didn't want to sully it with that."

The composer and librettist commissioned Karen Russell, the American novelist, to conquer an allegory on the basis for the opera, and Russell came up with the caramel idea. Then they joined up with the director Tom Merin, known for "War Horse" and created a coined by some place for a snailfire piece. Merin said he realized it to be reminiscent of "trumpetrings" — the darkly comic British movie about heroin addicts — and "Sweeney Todd," the gruesome tale of a murderous harbor.

Between on Monday suggested that "The Galloping Cure" had lived up to those expectations. Richard Morrison in The Times of London called it "one of the most powerfully crafted pieces of music theater to emerge this century."

The music in Mazzoli's cover was inspired by the jingles of slot machines (another addictive amusement) and the sounds of cartoons that she heard in Paris and Cuney

Island. It features passages in which the orchestra plays wondly to mimic the divisions of a familiar role or media to evoke the emphasis of a drug high.

Yet when a character dies, the orchestra goes silent, leaving voices to echo around the theater. Mazzoli said she was flushing about her counter who overdozed alone when she wrote that part. "It makes nervous up to think about it," she said.

Merrin, the director, said his main challenge was to ensure that the audience would find the caramel seductive and want to join the overeepopole in taking a spin, rather than judging their choices. He and Rebecca Ringel, the 90' designer, decided against an actual caramel and instead went for several life-size white horses that now skyward as the rider is bathed in neon light.

The show's inside design and comparison music might lead some audience members to hope for a happy ending. Mazzoli said some might be impacting the doctor to re-equate Lucky Mack and his evil caramel.

But she said that wouldn't ring true. "That is not the world that we live in." The opical crisis is still happening, she added — and yet many people also benefit from painkillers. In the opera, she said, her character's need to work out how "to live with the devil."

Back at the Fringe,

With a Career Boost

CONTINUED FROM PAGE C1 front of veterans returning in something of a victory lap.

Magliano, 20, from Buckinghamshire, England, said she wasn't necessarily being recognized on the streets of Edinburgh, where the Fringe runs through Aug. 31. But her stand-up comedy show — "Peach Faux," in which she blasts Winston Churchill in a Gen-Z girl and describes a transformative trip to a sensory depression chamber — and slit its run weeks before the festival started on Friday.

She said that so far the biggest difference was the enthusiasm of the Edinburgh audiences, who "are really up for it." At random, two people in the front row were wearing homemade "Weekend Update" T-shirts featuring her face alongside Young's.

Magliano began attending the Fringe at 19, initially working as a receptionist and seeing status-up shows. She said she pushed in so much that she would sometimes drop for just an hour a night, and then nap on a bathroom floor.

'I was definitely surprised by the scale of the response.'

"Weekend Update" slips in particular have had wide reach on social media, including edgy jokes about Andrew Mountbarlow-Window (the diagnosed former Prince Andrew) and one about Mark Zuckerberg and Helen's hustler that generated some outrage.

"I was definitely surprised by the scale of the response," said Magliano, who pointed to Young recognized by the comedian Graham Norton after bumping into him in the TV studio, and having an "S.N.L." sketch re-tested by President Trump, as comments they made her realize how big it was.

The festival can often be a dog-eat dog experience for performers, who face high costs and intense competition from thousands of others trying to draw in the audiences who think to Edinburgh throughout August. But Britain's "S.N.L." which related to a second season in September, has given talk-aids to cast members like Young,

of "Weekend Update," who has also sold out most of his Fringe run, and Larry Dean, a stand-up comedian from Glasgow.

Dean, 38, first performed at the Fringe a decade ago, passing out there for a show in red-bugs for 10 minutes of stage-time. This year, he's performing a show called "Bullfone," which is then scheduled to tour Britain.

"Before 'S.N.L.' he said, 'it was literally just 'one, Fringe, two, Fringe. It was just nothing but stand-up,' and he hadn't done much shorth comedy. But now he is recognized for his King Charles III or Louis Theroux impersonations on the show — though

'I don't get much love for my Peter Mandelous,' he said, referring to Britain's former ambassador to the United States, who was fired for his two to Jeffrey Epstein.

Dean said he wasn't surprised that "S.N.L." was a bit, despite the surprise re-tested hand. "I'd both people are just a little bit being disappointed that we now just have low expectations for everything."

For him, that has extended to his lifestyle at the Fringe, where policy accommodations often lead performers to stay in great places. A past apartment had mice and, he thinks, a flying cockroach. This year, he's staying in student housing. "God knows

what's happened in that room before I got there. No said.

So far most performers at the Fringe, the struggles are worth the potential exposures. Ania Adanskan, 25, a team-up from Edinburgh who is a writer for the Britain's "S.N.L." said the festival was now a place for comedians to be accused by the show. He was initially approached after the showmates came to see his first solo tour at last year's festival.

A common refrain, said Adanskan, whose show "Weekend Quarterly" has sold out most of the festivals' first two weeks, is that "the ideal story" is that of Plantec Waller-Bridge, whose career began at the festival with "Finding The only 'S.N.L.' he said, 'there's another popular basis. There is somewhere to go post-Fringe.'"

For Magliano, who said an "Peach Faux" on tour in Britain and the United States in November, being back at the Fringe is an exact "Stockholm syndrome" as a return to "my roots."

But she couldn't envision a scenario in which fame would stop her from coming back — unless, she asked, "I'm in back-to-back Marvel films."

GABRIELLE FERRARI : CRITICS NOTEBOOK

Exceptional Programming, Made to Look Effortless

A music director knows how to catch an audience off guard, and then put it at ease:

CALLING A WORLD OF MUSIC: A MUSEUM PRICE CAN BE A COMPLEMENT OF AN EAGLE, depending on what's talking — or on what kind of museum we're talking about. Strong contrast can expand understanding and order control for new works and counterintuitive the classic.

Inundate, Microsoft, during the first three year as the music director of the Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center (and the second as its artistic director as well), is a strong course. Across free concerts of premieres and premium between recently, he utilizes a formula and invited audiences into the program.

With strong communication skills and an understanding manner, he at once catches yourself guard and give you at ease. He began each concert at David Collins Hall with host introductions to the pieces, articulating the program's ideas and offering unobtrusive suggestions to directing your attention. Then he turned to use the orchestra and conducted with showed musical and dramatic content, inspiring an orchestral sound that was confident and nuanced, while also volume.

The first program, "A Mother's Love" (July 26-Aug. 3), began and ended with ballerina. The concert opened with William Grant Mills "Mother and Child" by string orchestra, which introduced a tender, motivating melody that swelled and rocked at a plush harmonies and that had hints of the blues. In Baysworth hands, you get the sense of confining the tune in drills in the early morning: a mother banning the previous night's song to benefit.

Amon Montgomery's solo concerts ("Three Bigloreses Paths") in its New York premiere, addresses the death of her mother, Bobbie McCauley, the playwright, director, activist and poet, whose work provides the titles of the concert's three movements. Montgomery and the other shot for income carefully runs gold over like a vision in the band, feeling in sharpness but noting in stark beauty in the first movements. "All the Incentives and I," Schiavon doubted, this with his voice as an unsanitary melody that rose above shimmering strengthens, rich in singing and standing for something beyond words. Elsewhere, victories, yearning cadences for Schiavon were in and out of rich on the first time. The first time was a result of the first time, the first time was a result of the first time.

Shiggs almost as much as he played, Schiavon built upon Montgomery's material, improvising with a virtuosity horn of both technical skill and something more — em-

pathy — which induced his gestures with a haptic immediacy, reaching both our and end.

Brother's Second Symphony closed the loop on the ballerina, within the movement calling up his famous cradle song. Here, Baysworth brought each sensitivity and precision that you could almost hear a catch in the breath between the heart's phrases. After "Mother and Child" and "Three Bigloreses Paths" the music came across as snarely and bare adult, and the triumph of the final movements left more satisfying for being harder won.

The second program, "New Beginning" (Aug. 7-8), featured works about spring and, more generally, feats—one composed of first symphony, mother's first double concerts and the first performance of a piece. Frederick DeKock "On Hearing the First

The Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center puts new music in conversation with classics.

Coches in Spring" opened, majoring a Newwgian folk song into a haunted landscape shared with carbon-calls (represented by a mellow show) and plush, almost everyday harmonies. It was followed by the program's featured work and solo training: the New York premiere of Billy Child's concerts for flute and clarinet, "A More Perfect Classic".

The Constitution-sporting "Union" is not only national, but familial. The concerts was written for the brother's Anthony (principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic) and Bessum (McGill (principal bass of the Seattle Symphony)) in the first movement. Child's quality established contracts between hearing-travel teachers and tragedy residents for the schools, and in the second, he disclosed the mood with a positive dust. But by the third, his structures became imperfect: approving throughout but without developing community were countless social concerns that had been discussed, negative figures, and a heavy dose of brain-technical. Childs often manifestly dislike and can't do social elements very little and not much. The first time was a "More Perfect Classic" didn't elucidate the promise or not through punisher. The McGill brothers are reasonably musicians, even if the concerts was less than the state of its parts.

After performance, the program stopped back after feats with the weak premiere of Hannah Schimalt's insightful "Change The Course," which reimagines elements from Robert Schimalt's First Symphony (second, considered to act simply "Spring") for the rest of climate change. The front line has that space Schimalt's symphony reappears in Schimalt's piece, but amid stiding

movement figures and while seeming to melt after being stripped of a triumphant cadence.

Elsewhere, Schimalt breaks upon a chord progression towards Schimalt and transforms it into global soundscape. And more feeling has subscribed by watching television from single-manual glass, giving the impression that the sound is slipping out. Schimalt's spirited woodwinds appear throughout a ghastly formula and vibrates through the same instruments. "Change The Course" is a natural, a fascinating reflection on the past as it is an elegy for the present.

Schimalt's symphony, when it followed, was all the more pleasurable because of Schimalt's premiere. Written early in Schimalt's marriage, it reads as a portrait of someone at how's the past of theing (or) laughter or tears. The figures familiar from "Change The Course" sounded almost unnaturally colorful, the vision of spring more dazzling in high definition. Baysworth conducted that like every work, with clarity of purpose and aplomb.

Even top orchestras can struggle to balance competing demands for new works and canonical trustees. In word, premieres can write like a four-flames ordered soaking, drowning, and tolerance; classics, like the magic's help the contemporary music medicine go down.

However, only the program titles may be, Baysworth has found a formula for "the same piece" (welling new pieces alongside trustees and highlighting smaller gems around the best that can range between to move connections across styles. Baysworth makes it his song, but that's no small feat.

Tales of Hardship From the Memoir Of Jason Arday

The scholar resigned from Cambridge amid scrutiny of his academic qualifications.

By NEIL YNDOR

It's the book volume that the academic world cast step-sheetning over "Great and Unfortunate Things," a memoir by Jason Arday, the British scholar who stopped down from his professorship at Cambridge University amid accusations that he had plagiarized other scholars and reestablished his personal accomplishments.

In his resignation letter, Arday did not acknowledge any wrongdoing, and said, "The eminent accusations, speculations and public commentary have taken a profound toll on me and on those faces."

"Great and Unfortunate Things," released on Tuesday, taken Arday from childhood up to his appointment at Cambridge. Here are some takeaways from the memoir.

He was concerned and watered easily, just a few days shy of my 12th birthday, I spoke."

By his own account, Arday, the son of Ghanaian immigrant who was raised in public housing in southwest London, spent most of his childhood and adolescence struggling with autism and other disabilities that he snail left him unavoidable until almost age 12.

"But automatically just a few days shy of my 12th birthday, I spoke," Arday writes, recalling an exchange with his speech therapist. "It was at the start of one of my sessions, and Kerima had just said, 'Hello, Jason. As that moment, I was thinking with my hearing out, which was bothering me, and then I took it out of my ear and said hello back to him."

School was difficult: 'It could take me . . . as hour to read and absorb a single page.' Not until he started it, Arday lamented in his

moment; could he read or write.

"When he decided to go to college, his girlfriend "wrote out the entire application for me — including my personal statement." At St. Mary's University in London, he scored just 15 per cent on his first exam. He worked hard, raising his grades so quickly that a professor at the school accused him of blasting.

"When you succeed against pretty much innsurmountable odds, a wordly mature people question your credibility," he writes.

College and graduate school were sings. Arday writes that because he had students, "sometimes it could take me as much as an hour to read and absorb a single page of academic text."

As one point in graduate school, he realized that his 3-year-old daughter's reading daily were not that he helped his. Her scoffed him at story time: "Daddy, you're not reading all the words."

Arday forgave the young man who attacked him: 'Both of them gave me a huge hug, which I returned.'

According to Arday, at one point he was beaten in brutality by four boys at a loss stop that he developed epilepsy. His attackers were unnoticed, and when he gave a victim impact statement, Arday writes, he told the court that they should be spared jail time.

Several years later, two of them showed up in one of the classes. "After the case was

closed, we weren't allowed to contact you," Arday says they told him. "But we really wanted to say thank you for your forgiveness, so maybe it's true that we're getting to meet you now."

"Both of them gave me a huge hug, which I contacted," Arday writes, adding, "The two men remained in my class for the rest of that semester, proving themselves to be lethural and diligent students." Arday says "they often asked me to write job and character references for them, and I would happily oblige," adding that "one of them asked me to be the godfather to his child, and I gratefully accepted."

Wanks before his thesis defense, when I'd try to recall something I'd read or written, I'd draw a blank:

In 2005, Arday writes, a doctor's student small tumor pressing on the pituitary gland near the base of his brain. It was removed into than five weeks before he was to conduct the oral defense of his Ph.D. thesis.

During his recovery, Arday collapsed and "was taken to the hospital, where the doctors told me I'd had a moment on brain or tact (This — a 'mini-stroke,' he writes, 'I had now been dealing with a new problem. I couldn't access my short-term memory. When I'd try to recall something I'd read or written, I'd draw a blank."

"I'd worked on my thesis for over 20 months and now I was reading it as if he

the first time," he continues.

Arday was unprepared, he said, for the "timeshute hostility" he encountered at his thesis defense. But after a rough start, he called.

"Congratulations, Dr. Arday," one of the professors told him when it was over. "You have passed with minor amendments."

Of running 20 recordings in 10 days, he says, 'I don't really know how I did it.'

One part of Arday's personal story that has received the most scrutiny involves his claim that he completed 20 recordings in 10 days in 2001 to raise money for charity.

Two-thirds of the way through the challenge, he wrote to the book, he had a century during a tour and collapsed, resulting in a lost fear that has been the illness in his upbringing against doctors' advice, for continued running.

"Our next nine recordings were to try as well as the action. 'It took me well over five hours to complete each test. Even though I used pamphlets, I was to apply to the book. My right leg ballooned to twice as soon. To the day, I don't really know how I did it."

In his last marathon, Arday says, he was forced by hundreds of supporters in the 5-year-old school. "I'm not going to be a good thing. I'm not going to be a good thing. I'm not going to be a good thing. I'm not going to be a good thing. I'm not going to be a good thing. I'm not going to be a good thing. I'm not going to be a good thing. I'm not going to be a good thing. I'm not going to be a good thing. I'm not going to be a good thing. I'm not going to be a good thing.

What if the story ends up being a cautionary tale like Icarea about flying his close to the man?

In the book, Arday's trade are numerous. He is an open veteran. He and his wife decide to split. During Covid, he has autistic burnout, in having able to get out of bed and throw away reading his life.

But in April 2022, Arday writes, a prestigious university in London reached out to him about 1000. "I'd often been head-busted as academic, both domestic and and abroad, but this was my first time being sought out by an elite British institution."

Shortly after that, he learned about a position at Cambridge. He differed about applying her family life, despite being tucked with uncertainty. "What if I have completely overestimated my capabilities? What if my story ends up being a cautionary tale like Icarea about flying his close to the man?"

If your biggest gripe with "Mortal Kombat" (2002) was the lack of X-hero Cops: then Simon McGawdy's "Mortal Kombat II" has a crunch. In this rock 'em, such 'em sequels Cops (Matt Urban) as a wonderful scientist who's approached by Lord Raiden (Tadamishu Asano) and Susan Blake (Soniaa McNamee) to compete around this representative against Emperor Shor Kahn (Marilyn Ford). Cops comes with Princess Kinana (Adeline Rudolph), whose father was killed by Kahn two decades ago in a bid to keep Kahn from harassing the godly power of a magic annals.

Thankfully, that's where the logic of "Mortal Kombat II" ends. The real stars are

the gravity-defying, value game-entered fighting techniques that tain of the franchise cover. Urban is a phenomenal Cops, precisely landing both the character's choreography and wit with aplastic. The showdown between Kinana and Kahn is equally thrilling, an excellent rain-soaked forest that ends in a saintly tap spot to the original games.

A hard book action display, David Mushomies's "Pearl" sign when you think it will sag it outlains between two story lines. A small squad body that will feature (covers Taylor Johnson) works to diffuse a World War II on a explosive discovered by a build-up crew in the Paddington district of London. As the same time, a group of robbers composed of X (from Worthington) and Granger Karalis (Theo James) uses the evacuation of the neighborhood as cover in target a bank.

It's best to leave how these two threads coupon as a surprise, but rather it is easy that "Pearl" is supremely unproving. The editor Matt Mayer quickly regges between the bank squad, the investigation being led by Chad Papenimodine Dunne Greenfield (Cops) Mladha-Rees and the harassing, heist. The film's betrayals and bloody showouts, along with a grueling car chase, cause one to question everything about the shadowy figures of its center.

Rewinding to a Simpler Era of Dating

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 interview with the two filmmakers who said they had been digitizing the footage. Their publicity explicitly told me there were "real" dating tapes.

But when I showed up to meet them at a cavernous studio near downtown Los Angeles, they said, "That is where we shoot the videos."

The clips, they revealed, are not found footage from a lost era. The videos are staged.

VHS Dates is the creation of Los Citron and Trevor Worley, both 18, who met at the American Film Institute and have collaborated on comedy projects. They ran a production company, Podhead Studios.

For the videos, they hired actors, who were asked to keep their participation secret. The performance could be conceived by Citron and Worley, and the actors thanked them. Doing, he example, is portrayed by the actor Ryan Gaul, a member of the Groundhags unprovenational theater company.

"I had actually been trained by it and thought they were real," Gaul said about getting approached by Citron and Worley.

The press come across as a sort of mainstream exhibit of one way of finding love in the days when Blockbuster was ascendant and people wanted their MTV. In some ways, such videos were a prototype of contemporary online dating. Incubers, they are an unfamiliar time capsule.

The videos are then against a green screen. A 1890s Haguean tube camera helps give the videos a mere look.

"There's a lot of people out there who have never reached a VHS tape at their entire life that are still drawn to this," said Charlene L'Pree Corridor-Massay, an associate professor of communication at Syracuse University who studied how media affects identity. "So it is not even their nostalgia. It's cultural nostalgia. Because it's not just the tape, it's also the hair. It's all of the clothes. It also the slang. It's a desire for what we mentioned as a simpler time."

In recent months, the duo have begun dropping the facade, in part because some actors — mostly Los Angeles-based sketch custodians — began to be recognized. At a Tribeca Festival event in New York in June, they dropped the pretense and even invited some of the actors to appear with them.

"We kind of think of a like keyhole," said Worley, using a term that drew free-love pro-winding audiences suspend their dobbelad.

At a time when everything is "potentially fake online, it was interesting from an analog perspective to create something in that world," he added in an interview at the studio where the tapes are filmed.

"We're all so comfortable to be on camera now and perform," Citron said. "But," he added, "back in the day, you were anti-scarp."

Citron and Worley said they never expected the project to take off. While Citron said they had made about $10,000 selling VHS Dates merchandise, including VHS tapes with the filmed sketches, the account is a "label of love."

The meritorious costuming — featuring such 90s looks as larger-than-life cards, wide-frame glasses and everything sweaters — is mostly from Western Costume, a

Los Angeles warehouse that supplies television and film productions. To release in the looks, Citron and Worley did as fact turn to aid future catalogs.

"What people connect to with these characters is that they are handy," Citron said. "They are looking for love, and people looking for love is very relatable, very primal and very limited."

One character, Tina Terranova, was performed by Allison Dunbar, who, like Gaul, is a Groundhags cast member with credits that include the streaming series "For All Mankind" and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend."

Tina describes herself as an '80-90 firecracker with generous hips."

When Dunbar discovered VHS Dates on social media, she, too, thought the tapes were real. Then she spotted a friend, the actor David Crabb. She wanted in, and even had a character in mind. The shoes took 45 minutes and included improvised bits.

Top, Trevor Worley, left, and Los Citron, with prop videotapes and cover camera, created VHS Dates. They claimed to have found a box of VHS tapes of dating videos. Instead, they had hired actors, including Ryan Gaul, above right, to portray people from the 1890s and '90s. Citron, below with the extra wardrobe used in the stagings, shows a Tina Terranova T-shirt.

"There's a vulnerability to putting yourself out there and sharing your deepest wants and desires on a Poppin' VHS tape and hoping that someone sees it," Dunbar said.

The actress Ashley Bell, who starred in the 1997 survey like "The Last Questions," played Marlene, a woman who dresses conservative style and looks like a way to "get out some aggression."

"If excellent is a choice, why would you want to wake up and be anything else but that?" Marlene says.

Enough people found the character so convincing that the top autocomplete suggestion when her name is typed into Google is "Marlene Delores love."

"Whether you currently found the love of your life or you're still looking for somebody we've all been at that awkward moment of something," Bell said.

Many followers of the VHS Dates account

have long thought the videos were real, or wondered at the very least.

That no before a number of celebrities. Citron and Worley said the musician John Mayer once teenaged the account. "You gotta tell me," he wrote. "Are these: new fake, old fake, old real (though I believe this the least) I won't tell a real. Entertainer to entertainer."

Citron and Worley — entertainer to entertainer — told Mayer the truth. Through a representative, Mayer declined to comment.

If the videos are not real, will it matter an social media? Using Worley's professional wrestling analogy, audiences still tuned to watch the Rock give those Gaul Steve Austin a "People's Ellison."

"It's true because it feels true; it's real because it looks real," Corridor-Massay, the Syracuse professor, said, adding, "If you said fans, 'Hey, this isn't real, this is all recorded,' I don't think they would like it less."

I do not do to test that out by speaking with some people who had written directly to Citron and Worley and were wondering if the supposed cache from the Los Angeles basement might connect with their own personal histories.

The parents of Sara Gauthier, 31, met on a video dating service in the 1980s. She explained in an interview that she had long hoped to find the tapes because they would be "validation that the story that they had told us about our lives wasn't a lie."

She was retained by the truth.

"I hate that," she said.

As the news set in, she said she was "heartbroken."

After, Deverez, 63, sent an email to the filmmakers, too. He recorded a tape in the mid-1960s in Sunnyvale, Calif., he said. The cost to take part was $3,000. In an interview, Deverez recalled making a joke during his recording.

"At the time, there was a commercial on TV about 'It's 10 o'clock. You know where your kids are?' 'He said in an interview 'I remember it was my chance to say, 'It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your parents are?'"

It never led to a successful match, and Deverez ended up getting killed for only $400.

"Once they saw that I asked, like, a couple dozen girls out and they all read on, I think they felt sorry for me and just give up," Deverez said.

Like Gauthier, he was also caught off guard by the truth.

"Really," he said. "They look just like the real thing much then."

Sethan Edman, 43, wrote the creation to say that his grandfather, Edward, had co-founded a video dating service and had videotaped some of the interviewers of the would-be dance featured in the tapes.

At the start of our interview, he said he was convinced that he could hear his grandfather's voice off camera asking questions of the subjects in some of the VHS Dates videos, and that his brothers lived it's too.

He had the third "came" during the truth.

"I'm kind of happy in a worst way," he said. "I just like the truth. I mean, my grandpa would be, too. He wouldn't want me going around telling a story that is a little inaccurate."

"Darker the Night, Brighton the Stars," above, by John Carran, below, is moved on the daily life of Maine, including time spent watching the same beauty of the elderly alone.

Stories of Maine Resonate Widely

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 overwinding clothes.

"I loved where I grew up," Carran said. "I remember my friends and I would go outside and look at the store and hang out. We weren't very interested in altering our selves, we were kind of like those kids who were high on life."

Caran, 57, has become the unofficial playwright (aurora of Maine. He traveled to buy Stonington the summer, called the production of his latest piece, "Darker the Night, Brighton the Stars," which is presented by Opera House Arts through Aug. 18. As we sat by the barber, he kept saying hello to friends and acquaintances. You get the stone fort open to others, whether they know for me.

"I like to listen to people talking," Carran said. "I just heard someone under an 'Busted me. Can you answer that? He [supertwo] tested me. You just can't help but go, 'Oh, what happened?"

You can hear here is a similar vers in "Darker the Night," which, like its famous predecessor, strings together short conversations. It postmarked last year at Portland Stage as "Not Quite Altered," then Carran changed the title to people wouldn't think of it as an "Altered, Maine" sequel.

The two plays show similarities, though, beyond their storytelling structure. Carran's big hit is about "middle-aged people dealing with love and loss and life," as he put it in a follow-up email. The characters include two boys who took drooping paths, a pregnant teenager and best friends who might or might not be ready to explore greater intimacy.

Caran's over three weeks, all set in Maine, as part of a bigger seasonal quarter. "Almost, Maine" takes place in winter. "Last four (2010), in spring, 'Darker the Night,' in summer. 'My life play is going to be the next one,' he said. 'Then I'll be done with the cycle, and I can leave out.'"

From what is a little unclear. For starters, he remains a frequent visitor to Maine, especially since his husband also grew up in Prengue Isle. "We went to high school together — we went to our preservation and friends," Carran said, raising an eyebrow. "And then we re-start when we were 18."

More broadly, odds are good that he will continue to be drawn to the first and stories that matter to him. Some of the total, working-class people he feels are underrepresented in contemporary America theatre. (Samuel D. Hunter, whose work is almost

entirely set in hardscrabble blade, is one of the few playwrights to mine, albeit with a different sensibility, a similar sociological and region-based terrain.)

Caran's khách for testing concerns that some might deem narrow, come or pretend not affording stories helps explain the appeal of "Altered, Maine" and new "Darker the Night." The plays, which embrace generosity and kindness, resonate with audiences around the country, so much so that even the occasional queer content doesn't stop the shows from being produced in schools or in conservative areas.

This outlook is focused by Carran's belief in emotional authenticity. The current version of the "Darker the Night" script gives background notes that left like a mini Wikipedia entry about Maine in general and Avocetrek County in particular. This comes across less as didactic than as an effort to

"I loved where I grew up, I remember my friends and I would go outside and look at the stars and hang out."

JOHN CARRAN FLORENCE AND ACTOR

help productions get the time right out of respect for the characters and the real people who may have inspired some of them.

Elaine Day, who has known Carran since their were teenagers, helped him run a developmental reading of "Darker the Night" with young Avocetrek County residents. In a phone interview, she recalled everyone as being in tears at the end of a scene. "We know that life has an active that there feels were living as today's world," day one. "It's was like: 'Who am I? Who could I be? Is it all right if I'm not the person that people think they know now.'"

The kind of response in important to Carran, who wanted he work to ring true, and to be done and soon by a wide range of people. "I've spent so much time in places where theaters don't have any money, and I think it's important to do plays without much stuff in that respect, and in them," he said. He deliberately creates plays that don't require elaborate costumes or sets, and his casting can be equally flexible. A theater can stage "Altered, Maine" with as few as four cost members and as many as 10. "Darker the Night" has a similar approach, with the director in Stonington, Kathryn Markey, choosing to use six artists there.

The actor-playwright combination isn't that uncommon — Tracy Letts comes to mind, or the emerging Bishra Wolter. In February, he example, Carran is set to speak to the new musical "The Gorgeous Nothing," at the Preetman Performing Arts Center in New York. And yet he maintains a hands-on mission in even the most modest productions of the plays he writes.

Markey, who also serves as artistic director of Opera House Arts, recall that Carran once asked if she could level project from the Stonington production of "Altered, Maine" to a high school. "That leaders to him in much at the really great shows he's been in an Broadway," she said. "And I just can't think it another person which like that."

There's a practical aspect to this often that might be linked to living in an area where it does not stay than in a "my city," or carelessly, friends or neighbors, and that is reflected in "Darker the Night."

"In the new play I'm interested in people trying to figure things out, solve problems in public," Carran said. "I think the play that there's a lot of drama in trying to arrive at someone around because it takes you to really help places, and then you eventually get there." He laughed. "Trying to get along is actually very dramatic."

Deal Is Made to Acquire 7 Broadway Theaters

An Émanue® company would also take over 10 London stages owned by ATG Entertainment.

By MICHAEL PAYLSON An Émanue®, the third-wood-pawn broker who is building a few-events company that already has buildings in visual art, wrestling, music, collector cars and theater ticketing, announced on Sunday that his venture had been made by the ATG Entertainment, a British company that operates theaters on Broadway and includes West End.

Émanue® company, MABI, reached a deal to buy ATG from the American private equity firm Providence Equity Partners, which has owned a controlling state since 2013. No financial terms were disclosed, but The Financial Times reported it, how that the price was expected to be about $6 billion.

The acquisition will require regulatory approval.

ATG is the smallest of the big three Broadway landlords, controlling series of that district's 41 theaters. It has also become increasingly active as a producer of Broadway shows, including a Dolly Purves

The venture includes Eaton Theater on West End Street in Manhattan, where "Harry Potter and the Curved Child" is playing.

The company is a bigger player in London, where it operates 10 theaters in the West End. It has a global footprint, opening 70 venues in Britain, the United States,

Germany and Spain. It also has a financial affiliations with a production company run by the London-based Susan Friedman, who is a prolific producer in the West End and a significant player in Broadway.

MABI already has a foothold in the literary business. Last year, it acquired Today!™, a growing player in the theatrical industry, business in the United States, Britain and Australia.

Émanue said in a news release that "this is a long term but as where live goes next." MABI, in the same news release, said that "2015 will continue under its existing brand and leadership."

In New York, ATG has long owned the Lyric, one of Broadway's largest theaters, which has for years banned "Harry Potter and the Curved Child." The company also owns the Minster, one of Broadway's smallest feature. That theater has been home to some recent successes, including two starring Daniel Radcliffe: a revival of "Merry We Roll Along" and the one-perforated play "Every of What Things."

In 2023, ATG initiated control of 8-winners, a previously operated by Japanese Theaters. The former owner of Japanese, Jordan Bedi, has retained a minority stake in ATG.

National Gallery Confronts Accusations

An event was moved to avoid Trump's ire, an ex-official says.

By JACDANNY SMALL

In May 2025, scholars were puzzled when a symposium named "Color Lines Across the United States and Mexico" announced a public meeting held at National Gallery of Art in Washington to a smaller institution several miles away.

The symposium, designed to address issues of race in American and Mexican art, has been planned by the museum's Center for Advanced Study in Visual Arts.

Why had the institution canceled virtual attendance, taken the program off its website and switched it to Charleston Park, a museum and research center at Basic events Harvard?

Last week, a former senior museum executive, Steven Nelson, who led the center that had planned the conference, addressed three questions concerning that account the National Gallery of "soft censorship" after its leaders met with representatives from East Middle Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE.

Nelson said the changes were made to avoid providing the White House after President Trump announced a non-conformity antismime at federally funded organizations. DOGE was reviewing the gallery because 70 percent of its 2025 edition operating budget was supplied by the federal government. "It is clear that the National Gallery anticipated 'Color Lines' as a problem to be solved rather than as an important academic conference," Nelson wrote in his essay published in October, a quarterly academic journal on art history.

The National Gallery did not respond to requests for comment.

Nelson acknowledged that the gallery leaders' intentions in moving the symposium, which had been inspired by its children on the Black and the Spanish market. Called, were in some respects an effort to save it. But he worked the institution had restricted free speech by limiting access to the event at a time when the Trump administration wanted to enter into American history. The authorities in the National Gallery that were supplied, planned to have the symposium holds 400 people, he said, while the meeting was at Charleston Park (a hall 40). "We think we have been able to understand whether the administration would have viewed such a symposium being held at the

Steven Nelson has secured the National Gallery of Art in Washington of "soft censorship" over a symposium on race.

museum at objectionable. But a spokesman, Davis High, said in a statement that "the Trump administration appreciates any efforts by museums and other institutions to be held in the country's pretty American history through an unbiased lens."

Nelson left two months after the decision to move the symposium, releasing a short goodbye message that did not detail the reasons for leaving the said. "I will cherish this experience always."

In an interview, he said his decision to retire was, in part, because of the museum's decision to move "Color Lines".

Nelson said, "We think the National Gallery's director, has been a visual supporter of building equitable museums. But the gallery, like the Smithsonian, closed its office that supervised diversity initiatives all we did and its ability to an executive order in January 2025."

In the essay, Nelson described incidents of what he characterized as "soft censorship" at other institutions, including Amy Mitchell (an icon to describe those at the National Portrait Gallery last year because she understood that her painting of a transgender Statue of Liberty would be replaced by a video. A Smithsonian spokesman later said that the event was called to accompany the painting as a way to contextualize the piece, as it is replaced.

The National Gallery has not been the target of statistical analysis by the White House and its members.

The administration has accrued a handful of Smithsonian scientists of displaying offensive or unprotected materials. Last year, President Trump announced that he would be the National Portrait Gallery's director, Ron Says, which prompted her resignation. He recently enquired on the National Museum of American History with an executive order requiring that signs be placed to make the material to encourage visitors to go elsewhere for "accurate information regarding America's history." The signs have yet to be installed.

"Some said in a statement to The New York Times that he wrote about the 'Color Lines' symposium because he worried about preserving Black history and academic diversity, and that the 'confrontation.'

"Institution surrogating these attacks by the administration think that they're doing the right thing," he said. "They are often playing into 'Tramps' hands the eagle concerning to soft censorship."

Making Culinary Rounds To Satisfy Readers' Whims

Try cheese plates on the move, sip a complex fizzy cocktail, or sample classic steak tartare.

IT'S TIME TO do my favorite thing: address your niche dining requests and, hopefully, deliver you an sample solution. The next month really had me feeling like a car in turn of myself. What and up to? Oh, I think I'll swing by the Midtown cheese conveyor belt, maybe call around to see if any place in town can make me an obtrusive cocktail. And at some point this week I have to eat a tux of cow beef. Let me check my schedule.

Fun piece of Hughes family here is coming. My parents get engaged at a conveyor belt made restaurant in Los Angeles, which I'm told was very nice at the time. A recent visit to the new London import Pick and Cheese was my first convoy to tell superstars, however, and I was surprised by how completely clammed I was by the superstars.

Search for a Laborious Cocktail

I have to admit, when I first read your prompt, I thought, "Can a choice from for years cocktail really be that hard to find?" The answer is yes. After some internet crowding and phone calls, I ordered one in the operating and undercared backpack of Tooker Alley in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, and was met with strong resistance. After a little respectful groveling, they made me a fantastic one. But how's what I learned from the process, and why it's so hard to find?

To make a Ramos gia-fuz, you combine heavy cream, a few dashes of orange blouses roast, an egg white, simple syrup, lime juice and gin. Then you shank it with a to-tail-brown completely dissolves, about five to 10 minutes. That fairly mixture gets poured over a splash of soda, then brown until it settles with. Then, you make a bowl in the vola-manner top of the drink and pour the rest of the drink, or in some cases, another splash of chili soda into the glass through that opening.

So, to be clear, this Ramos gia-fuz recommendation is for Paige C. and Paige C. only. For everyone else, do your bartender a favor and order a gin and tonic.

Flavored with roasted rice powder and served with crab crackers at the Tygys, mixed with crunchy mancholes and pickled aloecherone at Estola and flocked with Asian pear at Cato.

Given your recent entry into the lifestyle, I'm going to prove the first steak classic version possible, as an iconic Tygys! Now, full nutrition, Cafe Luxembourg. This warmly 10 hours makes you easy to eat steak tartare. And the tartare itself, which you can order in both an appetizer and entree-born, is the dish in its heart classic form.

RESTAURANT REVIEW | LIGAYA MISSANAN

Aiming High, With Hits and Valiant Misses

An ambitious bistro can be

both brilliant and confounding

SOMETIMES YOU LIKE is estimated to match that even when they accidentally put sugar on your French fries, you'll come back. Sometimes sometimes to a price you're willing to pay for some of the most thrilling food in town.

Bistro's No matter, Lower East Side is, in its purse, everything I ever about dining in New York City. It's no spay and small, with a dozen squeezed together tables and seats along a bar. There's no big money behind it. The owners, Sable Max Burns and Anthony Ha, are also the clubs. They're hardly out of their 20s but have worked in restaurants for more than a decade (Thomas Chinese Food, Frenchette, Romantic).

They opened their first spot, the even smaller and scrappers that speak fine around the center in late 2024. The kitchen there runs on portable burners and pure sowns. I'm a fan, but it's not a space for the chatter-yubster, and some nights a little too much of the limited menu can be classified as things-with-broad. At Bistro's Ha, diners and chefs alike get a chance to stretch out.

Dishes are hereafter but also tastes, drawing on French tradition, Mr. Hjol's Vietnamese heritage and, most intriguingly, where the two interests. (Each plate is set with both cheptocks and a look and taste.)

This might mean rough-pull party, as flaky as you would wish, loosely sandwiched around scourge steeped in into engines. Nor the tiny made you open with toothpicks on the streets of Hauni. Or looks vinaigrette lettering the dacy-snatch mooch of Maggi, the 1950-century Swiss seasoning adopted in Vietnam under French colonialism.

The menu keeps changing, and not just to accommodate what's in season. Mr. Ha and Ha. Burns are stubborn and almost dogmatic in their insistence on the pleasures of superstructure and spontaneity. (Their again, try getting in without a reservation.) You come an antitussive in the kitchen. Speaking in their room at room, Mr. Burns told me, "We never want anyone to get bored."

And yet, isn't boredom — making the name dishonor and error — the path to mastery, or at least consistency? Each time I see foot, in Bistro's Ha, I never know quite what to expect. I was for turns about, punched, disheartened, then chattered again, and slightly wickled for all it could be and almost in.

It is, absolutely, a hurry, with notary round tables, narrow-badied chairs and months of red-like and bristled, and a potty forefinger and self-promised. Baryd66-6-berglass scissors diffuse the light, everyone looks gorgeous without trying.

The food, too, has a kind of nonchalant chic, plains resolutely unreserved and composed with an eye to effusion over elegance. Seated looks planted on and in a bright, chasty grilled and topped with naked mounds; pea diners and lettuces in a mad hang, narrowed with raw rum, a Vietnamese hot-weather herb whose flavor shifts from mated citrus to puny roots to a hot griddle of black pepper.

On my first visit, every bite was vivid. Fish sauce can through the meal like an electric current, standing in for salt, deepening an weatherless and rounding out the being-fed, sweet warmth of crusade, a soul to Lausmann's French history and the Vietnamese immigrants who settled there in the 1970s. The pork-rich filling of the go (imperial-rolls) came wrapped not in delicate rice paper but in milky yoke (tofu skin), trading crusade for a gratifying chewiness.

Dinner is the perverse of Emma Chawkins and Ward Gawash, had a triumphant to-da-puddy — not so much showing off on sharing treasures, like coffee and condensed milk jellies scattered over a Province and no cream haddies aroused in spiky and raged with psychedelic smits.

In ambition and effort, Bistro's Ha struck me an exemplar of intolerance, a lot in that emerged in the early 1940s when chefs in Paris started bringing the high-puddy ingredients and type of hunts came — along with a more personal approach to cooking, open to influences from around the world — to take that setting at tender prices.

Then came the second meal. There were flakers of delight, in perkyed nauseated Cantonese-rolls and hung to roast, tasting of dark sweet chia, and tender little duck hearts under a hellip of cilantro. Could they be the shabby tempera-battered shrimp, whose primary note was fried oil.

But when the larger plates arrived, everyone at my table shrank back. The taste was as very rare, and mostly fat. I thought of Anthony Bourdais using undercooked warfing (diln in Nambla), I managed two bites. Do not make me recall them.

An otherwise nicely cooked steak was mentioned in an purse by way of Hong Kong, made with fermented bean clad — a sauce partly celebrated at the inexpensive Canto-Western diners called the chuan tong, kindred in spirit to the original working-class hunts, but here unblended and heavy, without the pepper burner beefy to derive.

We took refuge in the accompanying bites. They were generous, and had edged and oddly sweet. We were a man of baked our server, trying to sound cheerful. "I'm so curious about the seasoning," the eyes went wide. Bowls of sugar and salt had in fact gotten swapped in the kitchen.

Any restaurant can have a tough night. Someone on the staff spilled a car旗 of water into my French leg. When a farmer set down an air-cooled canolae, the top bites still sit out the table.

On my third visit, I was very blind at the food was delicious, for I didn't trust the kitchen any more. The flowers seemed less distinct, the vigorous taste was the other yielding diminishing returns. A chocolate peanut butter so cream pie was frozen in hard, I couldn't break through the crust

New York's Best Ice Cream Shops

Out of 76 spots recently visited in the city, these are the top 18, each with flavors that awaken inner childlike delight.

By MARINA RIVERS

Everybody's talking about fro-yo. But remember ice cream? That stuff of childhood memories: cold, sweet and sticky, the highlight of a hot summer's day.

I've had excellent ice cream in unexpected places across the city, like a French chocolate shop or a Vietnamese natural wine bar, not to mention the many restaurants and bakeries creatively rifling on gelato and soft serve. But nothing awakens inner childlike delight more than a trip to one of the city's great scoop shops, gelatarias and ice cream windows, where the rituals of poring over the day's flavors and sampling as many fla-

vors as is socially acceptable are almost as important as the sweet stuff itself.

I went off in search of ice cream greatness, which in this overwhelming city was no small feat. Seventy-six establishments and a whole lot of tiny spoons later, I've made a lot of 18 exceptional destinations with their own singular blend of quality, charisma and pure deliciousness. Are there surprises? Yes. Unexpected omissions? Definitely. But one thing we might all agree on is this: Any way you scoop or swirl it, ice cream is as good as happiness in a cone or cup.

A LA MODE SHOPPE

MIDTOWN EAST

What happens when you cross a dailment boutique with a neighborhood ice cream parlor? You get A La Mode Shoppe, where plush Joliet staffers watch over tabs of smooth, locally made ice cream in hot signature flavors like Cooks (vanilla ice cream with chocolate and vanilla cookies) and Partly Chady (thin spindles-tinted cotton candy ice cream dated with mini marshmallows). Good news for those with allergies: This is a completely peanut-, seed- and tree nut-free space.

BROWN BUTTER CREAMERY

MIDTOWN MONTGOMERY

Nowhere in Brooklyn are you more likely to be sitting next to a 5-year-old than at a scoop shop like Brown Butter Creamery. Here, Myriam Nicolas carers to neighborhood kids of all ages with a seasonal menu of small-batch gelato and caries. Standard can take camera like bulgy dark chocolate, and musky Bourbon vanilla freebies with vanilla bean seeds. No special occasions, Ms. Nicolas, who was born in Slate, pays homage to the African and Caribbean diaspores with flavors like spiced lozup or leeman, which has some of coconut and spice and a touch of nuts.

CAFYÉ PANNA

GRANENCY | GREENPOINT

Putting Café Panna on an ice cream tart in like talking about this great basketball team called the Razzle, desert n' sea? The sea bed and dropy number at that trendy walk-up window tend to go viral, but daily scoops like Red Flag (vanilla sweet cream with buttery graham crumbles and strawberry jam earthy) and Cookies 'n Panna are the reason Riddle Meyer's emotionally good ice cream won ever as many New Yorkers when the shop opened in 2010. Better yet, ship the line and refer a just online for pickup.

COMMON MEADOWS CREAMERY

WILLIAMSBURG

Gelato reaches new heights of sophistication at this minimalist shop in Williamsburg. The ingredients have are purchased from retail, family-owned barns around the globe, and the daily menu is written with a chef's name of personality, like macadamia nuts from Melissa Mole Farm in Hawaii and Richard from Somerset Orchards in New York. The flavors change often, but so-called options, which have included jasmine and white peony, work particularly well. Don't be fooled by the serious setting, a}}

DAVEY'S ICE CREAM

EAST VILLAGE | GREENPOINT MONTGOMERY TRAILHALL

Ever dream of quitting your day job to open an ice cream shop? Well, that's exactly what David You did when he left a successful career in design to open Davey's Ice Cream in 2011. His daring, real blue shape capture the car after feeling of being a kid again thanks to stellar homemade versions of classic flavors like cookies and cream and vegan rocky road, generously loaded with mix-ins. Other popular scoops, like fresh strawberry and strong coffee, really live up to their names. Keep in mind, you can turn any flavor into a millionaire or a maiden.

EDDIE'S SWEET SHOP

FOREST HILLS

Eddie's Sweet Shop is the quintessential American ice cream parlor of a bygone era. Stepping into the numerous shops is like entering a living museum housing with multipotential families sitting at old wooden tables turning into scoops and numbers in vintage silver cages. Not much has changed since the Citrure family opened Eddie's in the 1800s, like the fact that the ice cream is still made in house. Flavors are sweet and simple, such as chocolate, coffee and rum rarely, which leaves plenty of drama for the toppings. Hot bulge, fluffy whipped cream and a cherry scoop are nanongestable.

GELATERIA GENTILE

UPPER WEST SIDE | NOLITA GREENWICH VILLAGE | WEST VILLAGE WILLIAMSBURG

Born in the Southern Italian city of Bari in 1989, Gelsateria Gentile began serving its smooth and silky gelato in New Yorkers in 2014. Staple flavors like strawberries and chocolate are reliably good, but the menu of roughly 20 ever-changing flavors is full of hidden gems like the lemon carbet, an sweet-tart and refreshing as a glass of lemonade. Reduce your own Italian summer with the store's trademark gramin in flavors like coffee or apple. Can't decide between a cone or a cup? Try the best-of-facts weekly water cup.

IL LABORATORIO DEL GELATO

LOWER EAST SIDE | UPPER EAST SIDE

Il Laboratorio del Gelato is your favorite chef's favorite gelato thanks in large part to Jim Snyder, the Willy Wanka-esque mastermind behind the store's encyclopedic catalog of more than 300 flavors. The archives can get word with creations like Cheddar cheese and wasabi, but the scoop shops mainly carry the lots, up to 40 of them, from the oilfield day's chocolate to a toasted white sesame flavor that turns more like sesame than the seed itself. The design really loses into the idea of a lot, with pristine main line-sized surfaces and a periodic table-inspired labeling system.

ISLAND POPI

CROWN HEIGHTS

Look no further than this vibrant shop-drenched in orange paint on Neotvand Avenue for a taste of the speed and sun ripened flavors of the Caribbean. The rotating selection of homemade treats may include ultra-creamy soaps, tart cured rust socher and the city's best version of a nutmeg ice cream — an ode to the spice island of Grenada. The owners, Khalid Hamid and Mady Marshall, grew up in Trinidad and they buy some of their ingredients from Labor Market, the neighborhood go to be island-grown ingredients. They make ice popi, too.

JULIA JEAN'S ICE CREAM

LOWER-EAST SIDE

When Ayunna Quint couldn't find an old-fashioned ice cream shop close enough to honor, she decided to open one herself, naming it after her mother, Julia Jean. The flavors here may be familiar, but everything Ms. Quint makes is touched by magic — and will surely become the gold standard by which you measure all other ice cream. Better pecan pots its savers edge from a salted ice cream base. Orange sherbet is like the best Creamecie you've ever had. Even the pistachio and coffee flavors are world-class. Like any scoop shop worth its weight in sprinkles, there are toppings and drizzles gaines with which to craft your perfect number.

L'AUBERO DEL GELATTI

PARK BLUFFE

L'Albero del Gelatti is an Italian gelato walk-up window in Brooklyn with an avant-garde approach to flavors. Anything can be a source of inspiration here, especially if it's fresh from the laranier market. Menia Arlophante and her husband, Alessandro Trecini, moved their family gelatetta from Lombardy, Italy, to the tree-lined streets of Park Hope in 2015. They quickly became known for their no-builds-barred gelato flavors made with local ingredients, from luscious sweet blueberry to savory lacunitead butter with a touch of brilliant sea salt.

LOST BOROUGH ICE CREAM

INWOOD

Patrick Cruz and Kerwana Jefferson opened their first ice cream shop in the "last borough" of Unilever, N.Y. At their new uptown scoop shop, Mr. Cruz, who is Dominican and Puerto Rican, shaved up fast, culturally relevant flavors like Dominican vanilla or biscuits, a chestnut to the yellow cake maple of birthdays and baby showers. The Grape Nut flavor turns oaty and milky like the last drops of a cereal bowl. Toppage here are all free, be it a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of Tujia, and whale there isn't any seating, Fort Tryon Park is not too far away for an ice cream stroll.

MALAI

WEST VILLAGE | HUDSON YARDS CARROLL (SAFEEV)

Pooja Barroks changed the ice cream game when she started Malai in 2011 and four years later, opened her store on Smith Street, with South Asian-inspired flavors like macola charcoal rose with cinnamon-coated almonds. Her more recent repertoire is an less evocative and space-farward, with flavors like vegan passion fruit chutney melted and a cardamom-coated shale burnt ice cream. Ms. Barroks's plate are sold nationwide, but the seasonal soft serve is a must-try, scoop shop-offs' treat.

PAMINA DOLG'S GELATO

WEST VILLAGE

The city's best hazelnut gelato is biding in plain night at this quality little shop attached to the Italian gourmet grocer Travelers Paolo & Friends. Boosened silver tube casnian gelato and melted in greenmarket-driven flavors like peach and apricot, alongside channa-like velvety noctolo studied with Piedmontese hazelnuts. The chocolate, made with 70 percent Vali-fomo cocoa in thick and cherry like a brownie with the dark intensity of a solar eclipse. And it's vegan.

SOFT SWERVE

CRINATTOWN | LOWER-EAST SIDE KIPS BAY | DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN LONG ISLAND CITY | FLUSHING ELMHURST

There was once a time when she was a novelty flavor in an ice cream shop. Thankfully, these days are behind us (even Raskin-Robbins get us on the scoop). But nobody does it better than Soft Sverve, founded in 2016 by Michael Tsung and Jason Liu, friends who grew up in Cinnamon. Then she soft serve made from real tunes in satray smooth with that singular vanilla and white chocolate flavor. Much resume is just as creamy and not too sweet. Ice cream flavors like almond cookie and Hong Kong milk tea give these nostalgia taste memories a delightfully fresh spin.

SOFTSIDE

HOLZYA | EDWARD | GREENPOINT MORNING/SIDE HEIGHTS

The best soft serve is uncomplicated. Kids leave this, your local Master Saloon driver leaves this and bulbulb's founder, Noam Grossman, leaves this. That's why the minion here are short and sweet — four flavors, a couple of hard-shell dips and some fun toppings. Mix and mark for go with a house number like the Riff, featuring reshaprause words of the smoothest vanilla drained in olive oil. Or a classic like the Bruce, with chocolaty brownie bits, hazelnuts, glossy hot bulge and light-ace air whipped cream rosettes. Produce your dessert with a slice at Upside Pizza, Mr. Grossman's chain of slice-shops that are always next door.

THE SCREEN DOOR

GREENPOINT | JOHNSTSIDE

Every March, Kate Corey opens her scoop shop for the season with select flavors of ice cream from Gifford's in Maine, like Chocolate Lover's and Moose Trucks (vanilla ice cream with bulge swirls and mini peanut butter naps). The cool star of the menu, however, is the homemade soft serve, which Ms. Corey turns into some pretty cool cream, like ice cream "nuclear" with waffle cone bits and hot bulge sauce. Or the Barry smokers, a machine-swisted mix of soft serve and up to two toppings. Get it before November, when the Screen Door closes for the winter.

Two locations, Brooklyn and Queens; fdomcrowdandrovshelps.com

UNNECESSARY

LOWER-EAST SIDE

It's hardly surprising that a group of bartenders known for making drinks that taste like cold pizza or mango shaky rice would flip the script and open a cocktail-inspired soft serve shop. The slick-sheet and marble-counter taps at Unnecessary blur the bar between cocktail bar and ice cream shop, as does the menu. The Dirty Martini is a mid-snapper twist of dry vermouth- and vodka-infrared soft serve atop Bable wafer cones from Italy, generated with a heavy green olive. There are four rotating flavors on any given day, though not all of them contain alcohol. Other muses have included the Garibaldi cocktail and the minty grasshopper.

A New California Cuisine Emerges

Approaching local produce with global inspiration.

By GENEVIEVE KO

LOS ANGELES — Anchoring a bright corner of the historic, fast-changing West Adams neighborhood, Alta Adams migrated at the end of May, and fans wondered whether it'd be the same. The sun, unfiltered for trees, still fills the dining room with a heavy glow. A first-date energy still runs among the tables filled with cool dunes, turned by even cooler corners, and they all still reflect the city's diversity.

What's changed is the menu. The chef Keith Corbin turned Alta Adams's original "California soul food" (being also "seasonal California cuisine" for you can't order his fantastic fixed-plasters and entails anymore, but you can get the same depth of flavor—measuriously, unsusprisingly — to curcuminy citizens and barbell melon, wedges of straw fruit and tomatoes.

Mr. Corbin describes this evolution as a personal one, the shift in Alta Adams enteres a classic hen purseery. But he's also redefining California cuisine, along with other chefs throughout the state, and nowhere is that more evident than in adults that taste like mallow saucers.

The foundation of California cuisine — pretty embarrassing riches of fruits and vegetables — hasn't changed. The state produces nearly half of the country's vegetables and more than three-quarters of its fruits and nuts. Those good things come year-round, and in California, not only at farmers' markets but also falling free from neighbors' trees. These days, the ways of preparing them are as abundant as the produce itself.

What we now consider California cuisine started when Alice Waters opened Chay-Penner in Berkeley in 1951 and disunposed local, seasonal produce, preparing it with a French seasonally. For years after, that's up and down the state fall the same, drawing largely from Western European canines and heating heavily on Italy.

In these same decades, and the decades since, a lot of people moved to California and brought a world of foods with them, while longtime foods, especially those in high-income cities and suburbs (during the produce, created and recovered dishes with the changing environment. Following more recent labels of "fumar" (marrying different canines), "dangerous" (hearing foods with migratory) and "blind culture" (layering personal backgrounds into dishes), there's new a less-diluted approach for what may be the most delicious inocents of California cuisine yet. It's no longer largely Mediterranean nor is it made-up or anything good. Instead, it's at once fever and more curated, as shed loosely take inspiration from around the globe but with care and vent pain.

"When putting together a dish, you can put too much," Mr. Corbin said. "The produce will fare to be the star, and that tastes like shine."

When Mr. Corbin pick up a beautiful fruit from the farmers' market, he asks himself what ingredients and techniques would bring out to him, while keeping his coat in mind. Better care of said tomatoes and a fresh fruit like places, he decided to apply West African wine. Mr. Corbin took apart the traditional blend of ground spices and potatoes, swapping in whole California pistachios and coating them with equal ginger, garlic and onion powders. He then tossed in a lot of sugar to lightly candy the nuts into a crunchy sprinkle.

That easy crunch alone is enough to highlight the fruit's tang, but Mr. Corbin makes this dish spectacular by bringing in more pistachios, blending them into a rich yogurt sauce. Spread nuts a plate to cradle the fruit, the smooth adds creaminess to such crisp, has a bite (above right).

Like Mr. Corbin, the chef and author Melissa King builds a unique industry prurishing the tomato and not by influencing drinking it with a French vinaigrette. Ensuring inspiration from her travels, she starts grounded in her Northern California cooking other and Northern California childhood.

"When I think of tomatoes, I think of it if life, going to farmers' markets," she said. "You can smell the tomatoes, the tomato sauce, fresh basil as you're walking. A lot of this dish was inspired by the beauty of summer, capturing these flavors."

She doesn't endorse as a dish more vinaigrette, inspired by the Vietnamese more chain the grow up with in the East Side of Valley of Southern California. (The recipe is

For the Pistachio Crown:

Altogether, the salad showcases how the truth won't end under this "butterfly vora" after training predominantly in Thailand, French and Euromonitor" restaurants. Now, she leans into "the fan you can have with it" and suggests turning everything with toasted bread to turn it into pan-masella.

"It's become quite global, influenced by wherever I've been," she said of her cooking. "Everyone's influencing each other, and it's beautiful to me."

With the spread of farmers' market valiace, the diversity of flavors applied to California-grown produce is also the best-save chefs born in California found peace with changing the dishes of their first high white staying (one to their spirit — and adopting others' canines respectfully — the food simply became more delicious.

Like Mr. King, Elijah Dobson grew up in the further reaches of Los Angeles County and trained in the Northern California style — but without heading up the coast. After years of working in Santa Monica with the chef Jeremy Fox, author of the terminal "On Vegetables," Mr. Dobson is now the executive chef at Bunte Canyon.

He first learned to cook farris and almindigen from his mother and grand-mother, who are originally from Jabaco, Mexico, and then "became obsessive with Southern Vietnam" of fruits and vegetables at his local farmers' market in Torrance, Calif. He now integrates Mexican cuisine into most of his restaurant dishes, as with her charred corn drab cheeses.

Growing up, he would buy supplies after soccer guitars at the park, and he turned that much into a salad, topping and curated corn with slices of fresh shatkin peppers.

"Shatkins are underused care," he said. "They add a nice green pepper completely and a lot of freshness."

When that's not available, Mr. Dobson swaps in any mild, thin-drained peppers that look good, and he encourages home cooks to do the same. He's as flexible with

5. Assemble the salad. Spread the pistachio crown on smaller plates or a large platter. Arrange the tomatoes and pistachio tang, skips,

But you don't need California roots to cook new California cuisine, especially since part of its identity is the influx of new styles.

A glass of lemon juice and olive oil邻避 that natural juices, with basil and dill to perfume it all. It's more — they're all easy — and that's the great.

THE POOR | ERIC ASIMOV

Wines to Match the Summer Heat

It's the weight and texture of these choices that are important, not the color.

SUMMER IS OFTEN thought of as the season of roots and whites. They naturally come to mind because they're served cold, but it's a false equation. It's not the color of wine that determines its seasonality but the weight.

As with T-shirts and tank tops, it's the lightness of the material that suits wines to the summer heat. People still wear plenty of blacks, gray and dark blues in the

summer, but the fabrics are light, linens and cotton rather than heavyweight weeds.

Similarly, we store away the fog, mixed wines, whether reds or whites, until the weather cools. But less substantial reds, specifically those that are light-to-medium-bodied and lower in alcohol, say, 15.5 per cent or below, those can be excellent, especially if served lightly chilled.

Not that we don't want whites and roots. Of course we do, especially those that, like the reds, are not heavy or too alcoholic. But reds can be great in the hot weather, too, and desirable, unless we define plain to grill meats, ribs and burgers until the fall.

I visited several New York wine shops recently and

found U-bottles that will be great in the August heat, all $25 to $45. Sharp-proof rooibos might remember a couple of these bottles from other roundups of wines under $20. What with inflation and tariffs, these prices are the new reality.

I would still call these wines good values because the quality is top-notch, and value is hedged not strictly by the price, but also against what else is available at that same price.

As always, look for these wines as good shops rather than supermarkets. If these particular bottles are not available, merchants might to be able to point you in the direction of similar bottles.

Here they are in order of price.

AMPELEX TOSCANA UNLITED BHAVIT 2025, 11.5 PERCENT, $23 (1 LITER)

The U-bites wines from Ampelex are among the best values around. This lively white blend is bright, bone-dry and refreshing. It's made with organically or biodynamically farmed vermiculite, mahruins and trebleaues Toscano, gowns at high altitude in the Marquina region on the Tuscan coast. It would be great with pastas like a basil peels as well as shrimp dishes. The U-bites red is great as well. (Bowler Wine, New York)

CAMP NORTH COAST CABINET NAVIGNON 2023, 12.1 PERCENT, $23

Kenny Likitpakeng, of Bido Wine Company, has demonstrated over many years now that California can make excellent, moderately priced wines without compromise. Bido, a family of a half dozen labels, works only with organically grown grapes, grown primarily in Northern California. This cabernet, from one of Hoke's labels, Camp, is typical. It's structured, with discernible tannins, yet fresh and bright, with savory fruit and burnt flavors. Try it with juicy burgers or steak off the grill.

FORLORN HOPE QUEEN OF THE SIERRA RORICK MENTAGE VINEYARD CALAVERAS COUNTY 2023, 12.4 PERCENT, $25

Matthew Rorick makes the Queen of the Sierra wines at high elevation in the Sierra Foothills from organically grown grapes. This dry, rounded white blend is primarily chardonnay, verdolfin and muscat, which makes itself left in the broad floral aroma. It's really textured, yet not at all heavy. It goes down easily, though not so easily that you don't want to take a moment to think about it.

TIBERIO CERASULLO D'ARREGZO 2025, 12.3 PERCENT, $28

This is one of my favorite roots, if you can call it a root. It's a pale cherry color, like a light red wine, nothing like the bleached pink typical of most Provincial roots. But that's the nature of cerasuolo, which is derived from the Italian, wool for cherry, Autumn-and-Cristiana Tiberio, brothel and bitter, are scrupulous farmers and winemakers, and I love their wines. This bottle, made entirely of masterpieces of khruins, tastes like rocks and lemons. You can drink it with anything. (The Sorting Table, Napa, Calif.)

NICOLAS CARNAKANS WIN DE FRANCE MAXIMUS 2024, 11.5 PERCENT, $28

Nicolas Carnakans works in the everyone region of southwestern France, where he makes natural wines. He specializes in a local variety, for nevailles, making several different covers from varied tremors. Maximus is light and exuberant, a fresh, lively wine burning with fruit and energy. Drink it lightly chilled. (Steven Gold, Ridgewood, N.Y.)

FORGE CELLARS SENECA LAKE BREAKNECK CREEK VINEYARD DRY RUELING 2023, 12.2 PERCENT, $29

Forge Cellars in the Finger Lakes is a collaboration between a Frenchman, Louis Baroud, whose family has owned Chateau St. Cosme in Gigondas for centuries, and Rick Rainey, an American who came to wine through the restaurant industry. They are abashed by Léana Godard, the winemaker. Forge's dry readings are superb, like this one from the Breakneck Creek Vineyard, with floral aromas and deep, persistent grovelly mineral flavors.

OUTWARD SAN LUIS OBISPO COAST COQUINA VINEYARD NAVIGNON BLANC 2025, 12.1 PERCENT, $32

I often find California marigons Manco top-pungent or too sweet. But categorical impressions in wine are dangerous and often proved wrong. Case in point: Outward's 2027 Coquina Vineyard marigons Manco from the San Luis Obispo Coast, is a gorgeous wine with deep, rich, saturated flavors and a light, lovely texture that makes you want to roll it around in your mouth. Lowest-laurved, yet again. It's never the category that makes the wine, just the one, the farming and the intent and skill of the winemaker.

MARTHA STUUNEN CALIFORNIA POST FIJRSTION RED 2023, 12.9 PERCENT, $33

You would be hard personed to find a more delicious wine than this red blend. Aside from boating and farming her own plots, Martha Stunnen works with concoctional growers and makes wines that also behaves express the character of Northern California. This red, Post Fijrstion, is 42 percent imbued and the rest carignan. It's gently made to minimize tannins and is bright and lovely, spicy, camping and fresh. It's another red that would be best lightly chilled.

ISTINE CHIARTI CLASSICO 2023, 13.5 PERCENT, $33

I've been tearing the virtues of Chiarti Chantro for years now, because, when made by good producers (they are beautiful, delicious and versatile. Angelo Frutti of Istine is based in Rodda in Chiarti, a high-altitude area, and her wines are typically pure and crystalline. This bottle, her entry-level Chiarti, is 100 percent earglywine, high-tuned and full of flavor. Try it with grilled dairy steak or any pasta with cooked tomato sauce. (Sodian Selection, New York)

CAHTALAPEDRA VITECLITORES MAAVELOS DEL CHAVRITERO 2024, 13.2 PERCENT, $27

Isaac and Manuel Cantalapedes form organically in the Bunda region of Castille y Leon. This bottle, Mazaelo del Chavritero, is made entirely of the wooley grape, and is perhaps a bit more serious than some of the other wines in this roundup. It's aged in other oak barrels and has enough depth and structure to serve with seafood dishes like halibut or a roast chicken. (Sodia Wine Company, New York)

DOMANE DE MONTBOURSEAU CRÉNIANT DU JUIA BRUT ZERO 99, 12.1 PERCENT, $30

Domaine de Montbourgeau in the Jura rarely gets much attention, but it's one of my favorite Jura producers. I especially like their ceteau. It's made entirely of organically farmed chardonnay, and is bone dry, almost mature but for a light creamman. It's furcined, lively and elegant. (Bonsofial Wine Merchant, New York)

LAJO OF THE SUNSHINE SAN LUIS OBISPO COAST ROSE 2023, 12 PERCENT, $40

Gina-Giagini a biodynamic farmer on the San Luis Obispo Coast. She makes the Lady of the Sunshine wines either with grapes from Rison Vineyard, which she owns with her husband, Mikey Giagini of four of the few, or from times she looses and burns. This salmon-colored root, 85 percent plant root and the root marigons blunt, is terrific, tangy, saline and substantial, though light. Yes, it would be great poolside, but even better with a meal like broiled salmon.

As Food Costs Rise,

5 Shoppers Tell Us How They've Adapted

Two years ago, we collected grocery receipts from people across the country. Recently, we asked to look at their spending again.

By PHIYA KRISHIYA and TANYA HCHYNSKY

If our national concern defined the first half of 2026, it was affordability. As the war in Iran continued and inflation accelerated, many Americans struggled to buy basics – and groceries tapped the list.

Two years ago, we asked 27 people to send an a month's worth of grocery receipts and then analyzed their shopping habits. As those same shoppers started with soaring costs, now seemed like a good time to check back in. Over two weeks in April,

26 of the 27 people once again sent in their receipts. We smoked through their purchases to see which items had ballooned in price and how shoppers were dealing with these shifts.

Some are clothing name brands for store brands, others are stocking their freezers with whatever is on sale. And more than one shopper acknowledged relying on store-bought extensive chicken, that even-affordable staple, at times like these.

ITEM	2024	2026
Organic ground beef	$5.49 $6.15/pound	↑$7.47/pound
Troricaria orange juice	$3.94 (52 ounces)	↑$3.87 (46 ounces)
Eggs absoni	$2.78	↓$1.87
Green grapes	$2.28/pound	↓$2.27

Tosha Connors, 44, Mount Pleasant, S.C.

Tosha Connors's biggest life change in the past two years? "These boys who need part-time jobs put to feed themselves," she joked. Protein-filled foods like steak and peanut butter have become no seminax for her children, who are sure 5, 6 and 11 and going through growth spurts.

She has also noticed "stomblature" – a decrease in quantity with no change in price – for items like orange juice and potato chips. She relies more on affordable, filling staples like a whole extensive chicken and knots lunches like wine and chocolate-chip cookies. Even still, the sticker shock is real. "When they ring it all up, I barely have anything in my cart and I am like, 'What on earth did I just buy?'" she said.

BERRY BUDGET CHANGES

The average amount spent on all berries in 2024 was $4.47. In 2026, that number rose to $5.33. Two years ago, the most frequently purchased berries among our shoppers were strawberries. This year, they bought raspberries more often – the only berry in which the average price was less in 2024 ($4.27) than it was in 2024 ($5.37).

ITEM	2024	2026
McCain frozen French fries	$3.65	↑$4.69
Green onions (1 bunch)	$1.10	↑$2.49
Butter	$5.26	↑$6.29

Mindy Haskins, 35, Delaware City, Del.

Two years ago, Mindy Haskins was raising two toddlers and had recently begun taking a GUP-150 diabetes and weight loss. Those children are now preschoolers, and her wife has since started taking a GUP-1 too. Although they buy less food because of the medication, "it is still more expensive," Ms. Haskins said. She used to spend no more than $200 on groceries. "I would buy $200 in now" she insulated.

Once are the days of apple-sauce pouches, which are too expensive, and highly worldwide product like esters, which she can't use up quickly enough. These have been replaced with meals-size packs of cheese and crackers that she and her wife can pack into handbones or eat instead of large meals. But there have been frustrating realizations: "It is more expensive to buy in smaller quantities as opposed to getting a big Costco-sized version."

GOING FOR A BIG RAIL

Many have purchased ways with the smaller, more-frequent shop in favor of larger, more expensive meals. In 2024, the average receipt total was $60.33, compared with $72.18 this year, and the median price of a trip to the grocery store two years ago was $42.72, compared with $48.78 in 2023.

MARK CARTER / THE NEW YORK TIMES

ITEM	2024	2026
Butter	$4.50	↑$5.49
Milk (gallon)	$4.50	↑$5.58
Lemon	$5.70	$5.79

Paula Craft, 68, Bigfork, Mont.

As a retiree who lives with only her husband, Paula Craft never thought she would need a Costco card. "It left wasteful," she said. But with inflation driving up the price of meat, produce and dairy – coupled with her rural setting, 30 miles from the nearest grocery store – she's changed her tune. She signed up for a Costco membership last year.

She now buys meat at her staples – meat, nuts and coffee beans – in bulk, they vacuum-scale and stores them in a chest freezer. These purchases supplement the fruits and vegetables she grows in her garden – though with the price of seeds and fertilizer, she lamented, even gardening has become more expensive.

SWELLING OUT FOR EGGS

A califluence of factors over egg prices soaring in 2024 and into 2025. This year, our shoppers are paying less, on average, but in some parts of the country, prices never fell to pre-2026 numbers. The cheapest carton of a dozen eggs found among our shoppers this year was in Mount Pleasant, S.C., at $1.07, compared with $2.89 two years ago. The most expensive eggs were at, as though, at $11.09. In 2024, these same pasture-eared eggs were $9.78.

ITEM	2024	2026
Bananas	$1.99/pound	$1.80/pound; $2.15/pound
Coffee Mate creamer	$7.99	↑$8.89
Hilagen-Dazu ice cream	$4.29	↑$4.99
La Croix sparkling water	$4.19	$3.67 (no sale, refills for $4.39)

Alan Young, 82, Hilo, Hawaii

Though the government has made ratio to federal food assistance, Alan Young – who receives benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – was relieved to see a few months ago that the government had resolutely increased his and his partner's monthly allocation to account for inflation.

Still, he said, fewer stores and balances accept SNAP than they did two years ago. "I have to think about whether I want it, or whether I can really afford it," he said of his shopping. For Mr. Young, though, ice cream and chocolate are always worth the price.

BEEF VS. POULTRY

In 2024, beef made up one-third of our shoppers' raw meat purchases. This year, shoppers bought significantly less. Only 28 percent of meat purchases were of some like ground beef, chuck shoulder steak and strip steak. The amount of chicken they bought increased, from 41.8 percent of meat purchases two years ago to 47.5 percent in 2025.

Over our include purchases of sausage, dill or processed meats.

Clifford Reiss, 78, Riverview, Fla.

Clifford Reiss's longtime prechant for coupon-cutting and sale-seeking has come in handy during this period of rising prices. He's been able to keep his grocery budget more or less the same.

But his habits have shifted a little. He makes fewer trips to the store to save on gas, which has grown more expensive since the Iran war started. He even wears a weight-lifting belt at the store so he can carry more and heavier items without hurting himself. And he limits the amount of snacks he buys, like plantain chips and meats, as his wife is on a GLP-1 drug and they are trying to eat healthier.

ITEM	2024	2026
Bacon Coconut salad kit	$3.50	$3.50
Lactad rolls	$6.59	↑$6.99
Yellow onion (1 pound)	$1.29	↑$1.99
Chicken yogurt four-pack	$4.99	↑$5.49

Model QA

After conducting a thorough QA audit of the provided Chinese translation against the source preview, here are the findings:

---

Blocking Issues [BLOCKING]

1. Numerical Errors (Critical) - Source: "The United States spends more than $10 million a year on health care." Translation: "美国每年在医疗保健上的支出超过10万亿美元。" Issue: The translation incorrectly inflates the figure by 6 orders of magnitude (trillions vs. millions). This is a [BLOCKING] error. Correction: "美国每年在医疗保健上的支出超过10万亿美元" (if the source intended trillions) or "100亿美元" (if the source intended billions). Verify against the original text.

• Source: "The agency for Healthcare Research and Quality received less than 1 percent of that money — $140 million — to figure out how to make care better." Translation: "医疗保健研究与质量局获得的资金不足其中的1%——140亿美元——用于研究如何改善医疗服务。" Issue: The translation incorrectly converts $140 million to 140亿 (100x error). This is a [BLOCKING] error. Correction: "1.4亿美元" or "1.4亿" (depending on Chinese conventions for millions).

• Source: "The project has no announced budget, but initial estimates put it at $100 million, including replacing floors, adding security cameras and lighting..." Translation: "该项目尚未公布预算，初步估算需耗资10,000万美元。" Issue: The translation redundantly converts $100 million to 10,000万美元 (correct but unnecessarily verbose). This is a [WARNING], but the $8.5 billion figure later in the same sentence is missing entirely. Correction: "初步估算需耗资1亿美元，内容包括..." (remove redundancy). Add the missing $8.5亿 funding source.

2. Date Errors - Source: "August 12, 1912" (historical headline). Translation: "1912年5月9日" (incorrect date in the "Chicago Pope" section). Issue: The translation mixes up the date of the historical headline with the date in the "Chicago Pope" article. This is a [BLOCKING] error. Correction: Ensure all dates match the source. The "Chicago Pope" date should remain 5月9日, while the historical headline should be 1912年8月12日.

3. Missing Critical Content - Source: "The administration officials had mapped out an elaborate scheme to spirit Mr. Trump out of Turkey using a catering container and a military jet..." Translation: Missing the phrase "餐饮集装箱" in the first paragraph of the "President Hidden in Catering Container" article. The translation jumps from "集装箱" to "军用飞机" without specifying the type of container. Issue: This is a [BLOCKING] omission as it distorts the core detail of the story. Correction: Add "餐饮集装箱" to the translation.

• Source: "The plan appears to have been developed in the matter of hours for officials determined that a threat against Mr. Trump from Iran was credible." Translation: Missing the phrase "数小时内". Issue: This is a [WARNING] omission as it weakens the urgency of the narrative.

4. Incorrect Terminology - Source: "Parisian interceptors" (military term). Translation: "巴黎拦截弹" (literal translation). Issue: The correct term is "爱国者拦截弹" (Patriot interceptors). This is a [BLOCKING] error as it misrepresents a critical military technology. Correction: Replace all instances of "巴黎拦截弹" with "爱国者拦截弹".

• Source: "Strategic Dialogue Institute" (think tank name). Translation: "战略对话研究所" (literal translation). Issue: The correct name is "战略与国际研究中心" (Center for Strategic and International Studies, CSIS). This is a [WARNING] error. Correction: Update the name.

5. Formatting Errors - Source: Table in the "Food Costs" section (e.g., butter, milk, lemons). Translation: The table is correctly translated, but the 2024 vs. 2026 comparison arrows (↑/↓) are misaligned in some rows (e.g., lemons show no change but are marked as ↑). Issue: This is a [WARNING] error as it misrepresents price trends. Correction: Verify all arrows against the source data.

---

Non-Blocking Issues [WARNING]

1. Minor Terminology Issues - Source: "GLP-1 drug" (medical term). Translation: "GLP-150药物" and "GLP-1药物". Issue: Inconsistent translation of the same term. The correct term is "GLP-1药物" (no "50"). This is a [WARNING]. Correction: Standardize to "GLP-1药物".

• Source: "Costco-sized version". Translation: "大号好市多版本". Issue: Awkward phrasing. Better as "好市多大包装版本". This is a [WARNING].

2. Stylistic Issues - Source: "The Slim Locket Collection In 10th Gallery Shelley Silver". Translation: "The Slim Locket Collection In 10th Gallery Shelley Silver" (untranslated). Issue: This appears to be an advertisement and should either be translated or marked as non-translatable. This is a [WARNING]. Correction: Translate as "第十画廊雪莱·西尔弗纤细项链系列" or leave as-is with a note.

• Source: "no-makeup-makeup". Translation: "无妆妆容". Issue: The term is typically translated as "裸妆" in Chinese. This is a [WARNING].

3. OCR Errors in Source [SOURCE_OCR] - Source: "To Puncture U.S. Defenses Faced Waves of Missiles and Drones By ERIC KUNSTY and HELLEN COOPER". Issue: The byline names are likely OCR errors. "ERIC KUNSTY" should be "ERIC SCHMITT", and "HELLEN COOPER" is correct. This is a [SOURCE_OCR] issue. Correction: Flag for source verification.

• Source: "the United States is going to undermine powder-than-and-within". Issue: OCR error in the source ("powder-than-and-within" is nonsensical). Likely "power than anticipated". This is a [SOURCE_OCR] issue. Correction: Flag for source verification.

4. False Positives [FALSE_POSITIVE] - Claim: The phrase "root marigons blunt" in the "Lady of the Sunshine" wine description is a hallucination. Verification:
   • Step 1: No matching headline or snippet in the index.
   • Step 2: No matching keywords in the stratified samples. Conclusion: This is likely an OCR error in the source ("root marigons blunt" → possibly "Grenache and Mourvèdre"). This is a [SOURCE_OCR] issue, not a hallucination. Correction: Flag for source verification.

---

Non-Issues (System-Filtered Content)

1. The following sections were correctly omitted as per the QA protocol: - Weather forecasts. - TV/radio schedules. - Sports scores and schedules. - Stock market grids. - Crossword puzzles. - Reader service/copyright notices.

---

Final Verdict

• Blocking Issues Found: 5 (critical numerical errors, missing content, incorrect terminology).
• Warning Issues Found: 6 (terminology, formatting, stylistic).
• Source OCR Issues: 2 (byline errors, nonsensical phrases).
• False Positives: 1 (misidentified OCR error).

Recommendation: The translation cannot be approved in its current state due to [BLOCKING] errors. Immediate corrections are required for: 1. Numerical inaccuracies (healthcare spending, agency funding, project budgets). 2. Missing critical content (e.g., "catering container"). 3. Incorrect military terminology ("Parisian interceptors"). 4. Date inconsistencies.

Once these are addressed, re-audit for residual [WARNING] issues.
