fire broke out Tuesday at a power substation in San Juan, the second one in less than a month. Brigades from LUMA Energy, the private operator of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) transmission and distribution system, handled the situation as quickly and safely as possible and restored power to the area. The substation is located on Tapia Street. “We take any breakdown seriously and use strategies and tactics to ensure that our customers receive an immediate response from our teams,” the operator said in a statement. It was the second time a power substation has been damaged by flames. A huge explosion and fire occurred on July 12 at a power substation in Jayuya that left the entire town without power. At the time, Belmaries Tores, the regional director of operations, said some 6,500 clients were affected. LUMA officials have blamed PREPA and the Electrical Industry and Irrigation Workers Union (UTIER) for the condition of the transmission and distribution system in social media over the past few days in response to complaints about power outages and other breakdowns. UTIER President Ángel Figueroa Jaramillo said Tuesday UTIER is not responsible for the conditions of the island’s transmission and distribution system. A report done by former PREPA managing firm Alix Partners a few years ago blamed management for the lack of maintenance and mismanagement at PREPA. “What LUMA has been saying over the past weekend is a vile lie,” Figueroa Jaramillo said in a written statement. “UTIER is not responsible for any administrative, managerial or operational decision that has been made in the Authority, since the unions do not manage any agency. The people of LUMA know that, just as they know that the country rejects their services and the disaster they are.” The union leader stressed that, despite the fact that LUMA Energy has more economic resources than PREPA, the amount of time that people are without electricity and their recovery time has increased by 25% percent compared to PREPA. “Instead of focusing on UTIER, LUMA has to admit that they are a disaster and that they have not

Electrical Industry and Irrigation Workers Union President Ángel Figueroa Jaramillo been able, nor will they be able, to meet the needs of the electrical system and that the only thing they know is how to ask for increases in the bill,” Figueroa Jaramillo said. “In a year and a month, they have been paid, between operation and service charges, more than $1.1 billion, almost 20 percent more than the budget that PREPA had to operate. LUMA has access to $14 billion in federal funds and yet what they do is spread the blame instead of seeing to it that the public has the electricity system it deserves. In addition to that, it has abandoned the disengagement program because it has a deficit.” The UTIER president blamed both the administrations of the New Progressive Party and those of the Popular Democratic Party for the administrative decisions made at PREPA in past years. “Here the only ones responsible for what has happened in the Authority are the administrations of the two government parties that have appointed, managed, issued debt and that bankrupted an entire country,” he said. “They are responsible for everything, not UTIER.”

Ex-ATI official indicted for bankruptcy fraud By THE STAR STAFF

grand jury indicted Jorge Droz Yapur, the former Transportation and Public Works assistant director of the Integrated Transportation Authority, or ATI by its Spanish initials, and Yamil Fonseca Salgado in relation to separate bankruptcy fraud schemes, W. Stephen Muldrow, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico, announced Tuesday. Droz Yapur was indicted in a bankruptcy fraud scheme for making materially false representations from May 2019 to August 2021 in order to defraud creditors as part of a bankruptcy proceeding, in re: Jorge Droz Yapur, Case No. 19-02999(MCF). Additionally, he is charged with nine counts of concealment of assets during his bankruptcy proceedings and eight counts of making false statements in relation to such bankruptcy proceedings. The indictment alleges that during his bankruptcy proceedings, Droz Yapur concealed assets and income by using a bank account in his adult son’s name. It further alleges that Droz Yapur testified under oath that his mother was at an elderly home and provided Puerto Rico tax returns as part of the bankruptcy proceedings wherein he claimed his mother as a dependent between the years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, when in fact, he

Jorge Droz Yapur knew his mother had passed away in 2011. If convicted, Droz Yapur may be sentenced to up to five years of imprisonment for each violation, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release. Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia, upon learning of the arrest, said Droz Yapur no longer worked in the government.

Separately, Fonseca Salgado was indicted in a bankruptcy fraud scheme in which he allegedly made materially false representations between April 2018 and May 2022 in five separate bankruptcy cases in order to defraud his minor child of child support payments. Additionally, he is charged with one count of willful failure to pay some $107,200 in child

support payments and 13 counts of false statements during his bankruptcy proceedings. The indictment alleges that Fonseca Salgado concealed, in several bankruptcy filings, assets, income and his connection to a maintenance company by the name of CMM Janitorial Inc. The indictment further alleges that Yamil Fonseca Salgado concealed, in several bankruptcy filings, that he received money transfers via ATH Móvil from the bank account of a construction company controlled by close family members. A construction company which in turn collected monies from the public housing management company Fonseca Salgado worked for, and that he further received money through the use and control of a Banco Popular de Puerto Rico bank account in his grandmother’s name where he accessed funds for routine personal expenses. If convicted, Fonseca Salgado may be sentenced to up to two years to five years of imprisonment for each and a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release. “The fraudulent use of bankruptcy and other court proceedings to defraud creditors or defraud children of child support payments are of grave concern, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office remains vigilant in the effort to hold accountable those who would defraud the government,” Muldrow said.

Legal fees & spending related to restructuring projected at $1.6 billion by 2026 By THE STAR STAFF

ommonwealth restructuring-related expenditures and legal fees paid are projected to be $1.6 billion by 2026, the Financial Oversight and Management Board said in its annual report this week. The legal fees are projected to be $620 million for the period between fiscal year (FY) 2022 to FY 2025, and comprise all professional fees, including those of the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee, the Retiree Committee, the government, mostly the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority, and the oversight board. Restructuring-related costs have continued following the Commonwealth Plan of Adjustment’s effective date to support potential litigation and other Title III implementation costs. “Fees for the period FY2022 to FY2025 were benchmarked against comparable restructurings, which yielded an average professional-fee-to-funded- debt ratio of 2.08% and median ratio of 2.33%, as compared to 2.48% projected for the Commonwealth,” the report said. “In total, for the period from FY2018 to FY2026, the restructuring-related expenditures are projected to be approximately $1.6 billion.” Uncertainty stemming from the series of recent natural disasters and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an extended restructuring process contributing to the overall estimate, the oversight board said. For some perspective, the City of Detroit’s restructuring (the largest municipal restructuring prior to the commonwealth of Puerto Rico) took 17 months (July 2013 to

“Professionals for the Oversight Board, the Government, the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee, the Retiree Committee, and the mediation team have requested approximately $1.21 billion in fees and expenses through the Title III compensation process through July 20, 2022,” the Financial Oversight and Management Board reported. December 2014), compared to the nearly five years for the commonwealth restructuring, which was extended by extraordinary natural disasters, including two major hurricanes, earthquakes, and the COVID-19 pandemic. “Throughout, the Oversight Board and its partners in the Commonwealth Government persevered toward the goals of restructuring the Commonwealth’s debts, returning the Commonwealth to fiscal responsibility, and restoring the Commonwealth’s access to the capital markets,” the oversight board said. “Professionals for the Oversight Board, the Government, the Unsecured

Creditors’ Committee, the Retiree Committee, and the mediation team have requested approximately $1.21 billion in fees and expenses through the Title III compensation process through July 20, 2022.” The $1.21 billion figure includes: Oversight board: $660,406,273 (including the Special Claims Committee firms); government: $373,191,545.18; COR/UCC: $160,280,544. The total of those first three categories is $1,193,878,362. To that is added fees for COFINA agent and professionals: $20,700,188.03; and mediation team: $3,038,816.

DACO: Price of gasoline falls below $1 per liter By THE STAR STAFF

onsumer Affairs (DACO by its Spanish acronym) Secretary Edan Rivera Rodríguez announced on Monday that gasoline prices are below a dollar per liter.

Consumer Affairs Secretary Edan Rivera Rodríguez

“Locally, at the end of the day on August 1, all wholesalers notified the Department of Consumer Affairs (DACO) of low rates consistent with those reported by the reference markets,” Rivera Rodríguez said in a written statement. “These declines averaged $0.03 per liter for regular gasoline, and $0.04 per liter for diesel. With the declines reported by wholesalers, today, Tuesday, June 2, the DACO report reports maximum pump prices below a dollar for regular gasoline.” Diesel, meanwhile, will have maximum prices between $1.12 and $1.22 depending on the brand, which represents a considerable reduction compared to the maximum of $1.54 per liter that the fuel product reached in mid-June, when it registered historically high prices. “The prices reported for today will apply to all stations that are replenished during the day,” Rivera Rodríguez said. “The tables reported by DACO reflect the maximum prices considering the maximum allowed as profit margin. For this reason, stations with prices below those reported in said tables could be found.” “The volatility of the fuel market makes it impossible to

ensure that the prices reported for today will be maintained,” the DACO chief added. “Nonetheless, for about a month the benchmark markets have maintained some downward trend.”

Archbishop of San Juan stands up for Bad Bunny By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

he Archbishop of San Juan de Puerto Rico, Msgr. Roberto González Nieves, described the life of the controversial Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Bad Bunny as “impeccable,” even if his lyrics are loaded with explicit sexual content. Through Twitter, the archbishop shared a video of Bad Bunny’s concert on July 28 in Puerto Rico, assuring that “in his personal life, so far, impeccable … a phenomenon.” The video shared by González Nieves includes the song “Tití Asked Me,” in which the Puerto Rican singer says, among other things: “Tití asked me if I have many girlfriends, many girlfriends. Today I have one, tomorrow another, but there is no wedding.” Bad Bunny, the pseudonym of Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is 28 years old and has managed to climb the charts to become, according to Time magazine, one of the most influential people in the world in 2021. Among other famous collaborations, he appeared alongside

Shakira and Jennifer Lopez at the Super Bowl LIV halftime show in 2020. However, the lyrics of his songs have kept him at the center of controversy. The musician praised by the archbishop is co-author of the song “Safaera,” whose lyrics contain what some consider offensive sexual content, such as “drunk and crazy, she doesn’t care ” and “let’s go twerk, life is short.” In his song “Yonaguni,” Bad Bunny says, “Shorty has a really big ass (...) I have studied it (...) and I tattoo it on my face.” In “Dákiti,” the singer praised by González Nieves says things like “you’re on the loose, I’m on safari, you move your ass phenomenally, so I’ll devour you like an animal.” In addition, in his recent concert on July 28 in Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny openly criticized the governor of Puerto Rico, Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia: “Pierluisi and all the [expletive deleted] who own Puerto Rico for the hell of it.” It is not the first controversy in which the Archbishop of San Juan has been involved. For years he has been criticized

for getting involved in the politics of the island and supposedly favoring independence. A recent document found in the Vatican also links him to the dismissal of the Bishop of Arecibo, Msgr. Daniel Fernández Torres.

Police commissioner: Minor killed by police tried to run over officers By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

olice Commissioner Antonio López Figueroa alleged on Tuesday that the minor who died at around 9 p.m. on Monday amid a police intervention tried to run over the officers in the Riviera urbanization of the Monacillos neighborhood of Río Piedras. According to the commissioner, the Hyundai Tucson that the 16-year-old youth was driving had been reported stolen in Carolina and the authorities were following up on it. “A work plan was made to track this vehicle, since it has GPS. Said vehicle is located in Vista Hermosa, from Vista Hermosa,

Police Commissioner Antonio López Figueroa, at lectern

passes (to the residence, Luis) Lloréns Torres and then returns to Vista Hermosa,” López Figueroa said in a radio interview. “When he leaves the area, he enters the area of 40th Street, La Riviera urbanization in Hato Rey, where the police stop him. This individual, when the police stop him, the policemen get out of their vehicle and the subject allegedly tries to run over the policemen and that’s when the shooting begins.” According to a report in El Vocero, agents from the Carolina StolenVehicles Bureau asked for cooperation from their uniformed colleagues from the Puerto Nuevo Precinct, to try to pull over the Hyundai Tucson, which they presumed stolen, although it was not. The 2016 model gray SUV is registered in the name of a Carolina resident.

The 16-year-old driver and resident of Caparra Terrace entered a dead-end street. The agents in their patrol cars blocked the exit and got out of their vehicles. Allegedly the young man, who had a valid learner’s permit, backed up and tried to escape by driving onto the sidewalk. In his attempt, he crashed into a vehicle and officers opened fire more than 60 times. The teenager fell dead on the sidewalk. It is estimated that he received around 15 shots. He was not found to have any firearm. According to the commissioner, since the vehicle had a GPS, it did not appear as being stolen in police records. López Figueroa argued that interventions with stolen vehicles “are among the most dangerous.” “An example of this was yesterday on Route 66 in Carolina, when four individuals, including two minors, shot at the police and got arrested,” López Figueroa said. “Vehicular intervention is one of the most dangerous, not only in Puerto Rico, at the level of the entire American nation and at the level of the entire world. None of the policemen go out into the street to kill anyone. In a matter of seconds, the policeman decides by perception how he is going to proceed. If his life is at risk, then he is going to use level 4 of the police, which is to use the regulation weapon.” Special Investigations Bureau Commissioner Rafael Freytes, meanwhile, limited himself to saying that he had assumed jurisdiction over the case. “There are some facts. Some police officers used their regulation weapon against a citizen. That was as part of an intervention,” he said in a radio interview. “The prosecutor, along with the agents, evaluate what is at the scene, including the evidence that is recovered. Based on what is in a scene, we intervene and decide to assume jurisdiction. Why? Because we believe that the case justifies our involvement and that the police leave the investigation and, therefore, the agents are basically already looking at each other as suspects. That is what there is as of now.”

Analysis deems Biden’s climate and tax bill fiscally responsible By JIM TANKERSLEY

fter more than a year of trying — and failing — to pack much of President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda into a single tax-and-spend bill, Democrats appear to have finally found a winning combination. They have scrapped most of the president’s plans, dialed down the cost and focused on climate change, health care and a lower budget deficit. As soon as party leaders announced that new bill last week, Republicans began attacking it in familiar terms. They called it a giant tax increase and a foolish expansion of government spending, which they alleged would hurt an economy reeling from rapid inflation. But outside estimates suggest the bill would not cement a giant tax increase or result in profligate federal spending. An analysis by the Joint Committee on Taxation, a congressional nonpartisan scorekeeper for tax legislation, suggests that the bill would raise about $70 billion over 10 years. But the increase would be front-loaded: By 2027, the bill would actually amount to a net tax cut each year, as new credits and other incentives for low-emission energy sources outweighed a new minimum tax on some large corporations. That analysis, along with a broader estimate of the bill’s provisions from the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, suggests that the legislation, if passed, would only modestly add to federal spending over the next 10 years. By the end of the decade, the bill would be reducing federal spending, compared with what is scheduled to happen if it does not become law. And because the bill also includes measures to empower the IRS to crack down on corporations and high-earning individuals who evade taxes, it is projected to reduce the federal budget deficit over a decade by about $300 billion. Adding up the headline cost for what Democrats are calling the Inflation Reduction Act is more complicated than it was for many previous tax or spending measures that lawmakers approved. The bill blends tax increases and tax credits, just as Republicans did when they passed President Donald Trump’s signature tax package in 2017. But it also includes a spending increase meant to boost tax revenues and a spending cut meant to put more money in consumers’ pockets. The bill springs from an agreement between Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the majority leader, and Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a key centrist Democrat. Biden blessed it last week, and it carries what remains of what was once his $4 trillion domestic agenda. Its centerpiece is a package of measures meant to fight climate change by encouraging transitions to lower-emission sources of energy, along with expanded health insurance subsidies and a move to reduce prescription drug costs for seniors by allowing Medicare to negotiate the prices. Over a decade, the centerpiece provisions of the deal include about $68 billion in net tax increases, according to the Joint Committee’s modeling. The bill would impose a

The Inflation Reduction Act carries what remains of President Biden’s $4 trillion domestic agenda. new 15% minimum tax on corporations that report a profit to shareholders but use deductions, credits and other preferential tax treatments to reduce their effective tax rate well below the statutory 21%. It would also narrow the benefits of the so-called carried interest tax provision, which largely benefits high earners who work in private equity and other parts of the financial industry. The Joint Committee estimates those provisions would raise about $326 billion over a decade in new tax revenue. That is a tax increase on companies that take advantage of current tax law, even though Democrats such as Manchin and Schumer insist that it is not. Much of that increase would be offset, overall, by tax credits for clean-energy initiatives such as electric vehicle purchases, renewable electricity generation and other carrots meant to reduce the fossil fuel emissions driving climate change. That would amount to tax cuts for some people, companies and electric utilities. The spending side of the bill has shrunk drastically from Biden’s initial ambitions, which included large investments in home health care, universal prekindergarten, community college tuition, and an array of other measures meant to help workers and students. The current deal has stripped that spending down to what appears to be somewhere north of $100 billion in cli-

mate programs — the exact amount is unclear because the Joint Committee and the Congressional Budget Office have not published a full accounting of the bill’s provisions — and about $100 billion in additional health care spending. That includes three years of enhanced subsidies for people to buy insurance through the Affordable Care Act. It also includes more money for IRS enforcement, which the Congressional Budget Office projects would more than pay for itself, bringing in more than $100 billion in net additional tax revenue over a decade as the agency became better able to collect the taxes that people and companies already owed. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that almost all of that spending would be offset over a decade by reductions in federal health care spending spurred by the bill, including the centerpiece effort to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Both the committee and the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Wharton Budget Model project that over a decade, the total effect of those changes would reduce federal budget deficits. The committee estimates the savings at just over $300 billion but says they could be even greater if the IRS crackdown works better than the Congressional Budget Office expects. Penn Wharton pegs the deficit reduction at about $250 billion.

First Capitol rioter to face trial gets 7 years, longest sentence so far By ZACH MONTAGUE

federal judge earlier this week sentenced Guy Wesley Reffitt, the first defendant to go on trial in the Justice Department’s sprawling criminal inquiry into the Jan. 6 attack, to more than seven years in prison, the longest sentence to date in a case stemming from the Capitol riot. After a six-hour hearing, Judge Dabney Friedrich handed down a sentence at the low end of the guideline range. She noted that was still significantly longer than any given so far to any of the more than 800 people arrested in connection with the riot, many of whom have struck plea bargains. Prosecutors had asked that Reffitt be given 15 years after adding a sentencing enhancement used in cases of domestic terrorism. But Friedrich rejected those terms, sentencing him to seven years and three months in prison with three years of probation, and ordering him to pay $2,000 in restitution and receive mental health treatment. A jury found Reffitt guilty on five felony charges in March, including obstructing Congress’ certification of the 2020 presidential election, carrying a .40-caliber pistol during the riot, and two counts of civil disorder. Unlike others who breached the building, Reffitt did not go inside. The sentencing capped a trial that was seen as an important test for the Justice Department, which is only beginning the marathon process of trying what could be scores of rioters. In particular, prosecutors and defense lawyers had been watching to see how the obstruction charge, a rarely used count central to many of the cases yet to reach trial, would hold up in court. But Friedrich described Reffitt’s case as unusual on account of threats of violence he made against his children when he discovered he might be swept up in the federal investigation following the riot. In March, Reffitt’s son, Jackson Reffitt, took the stand to testify that his father had become radicalized in the months leading up to the attack, and had threatened both him and his sister in an attempt to dissuade them from speaking to authorities, telling them that “traitors get shot.” Before Monday, the longest sentence in a case related to the attack on the Capitol was just more than five years, given last year to a man who had pleaded guilty to

A federal judge on Monday sentenced Reffitt, the first defendant to go on trial in the Justice Department’s sprawling criminal inquiry into the Jan. 6 attack, to more than seven years in prison, the longest sentence to date in a case stemming from the Capitol riot. assaulting an officer with a fire extinguisher. But because Reffitt did not plead guilty like hundreds of others arrested in connection with the attack and went to trial, Friedrich said, the sentencing guidelines for his case were two years more than if he had reached a plea deal. The sentence comes as a parallel investigation being carried out by the House Jan. 6 committee has been gaining momentum. As courts slowly process the hundreds of cases related to the riot, speculation has grown as to how the Justice Department will respond to the committee’s findings about former President Donald Trump and those in his inner circle who helped instigate it, and whether the committee will formally recommend criminal charges. After briefly appearing hesitant to address the court Monday, Reffitt, dressed in an orange jumpsuit with his hair pulled back into a thin ponytail, offered an apology for his actions. “I did want to definitely make an apology,” he said. “In 2020, I was a little crazy, everything went a little stupid.” But Friedrich said that although she appreciated his

sentiment, she doubted his sincerity, given that while in jail awaiting sentencing, he apparently had raised funds off his incarceration, releasing politically charged statements “doubling down” on his claims and a “manifesto” he had dictated to his family by phone. Reffitt conceded that he had often resorted to “hyperbole,” but said that any inflammatory claims he had made were intended to draw donations to support his family financially. In the months before and after the 2020 election, Reffitt got involved with the Texas Three Percenters, a loosely organized militia movement, and sent messages recruiting others in the group to accompany him to Washington on Jan. 6. As part of his sentence, Friedrich instructed him not to contact any members of the Three Percenters or other militia groups while on probation. In final remarks, Friedrich made a point to stress that while Reffitt’s actions were not as violent as many others who had attacked police officers Jan. 6, they nonetheless put hundreds of people in danger. While Reffitt repeatedly described himself and other rioters who stormed the Capitol as “patriots” in statements from jail, Friedrich called their behavior the “antithesis of patriotism.” “Not only are they not patriots, they are a direct threat to our democracy and will be prosecuted as such,” she said.

Kentucky faces devastation as toll from floods is expected to climb By REMY TUMIN and MIKE IVES

s Kentucky residents begin to sift through debris from last week’s flooding, the reality of the devastation was beginning to settle in, with hundreds of people displaced from their homes, costly damage to infrastructure and a death toll of 37 that was expected to climb. Stephen Bowling, director of the Breathitt County Public Library in Jackson, Kentucky, said he could see it as soon as patrons walked in the door. “Right now, what we’re still seeing on the faces and voices of people coming in is total shock,” said Bowling, who is also the Jackson city historian. “We’ve dealt with floods for generations here, for hundreds of years, but this is far and above beyond anything we’ve dealt with in the past. They can’t believe the level of devastation and destruction.” Eastern Kentucky dodged what had been predicted to be heavy rain overnight into Tuesday morning, as the storms shifted westward instead. But flood advisories were still in effect for several rivers in the state, the National Weather Service said, and rain could return Thursday into Friday — unwelcome news for a water-soaked state that registered some of the worst flooding in its history after heavy rainfall caused floods and mudslides last week. Bowling said one woman arrived at the library Monday shaking and in tears “because she was so ashamed that her library books got washed away when her home was destroyed,” he said. “I told her that was the least of her concern.” Patrons were coming in to use the library’s internet connection to file claims with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Bowling said, and some were looking for books and DVDs to “try to think about something else for a while.” That has been hard to do when hundreds of people are still unaccounted for across eastern Kentucky. Gov. Andy Beshear said the death toll remained at 37 as of Tuesday morning but he expected that number to grow by day’s end. “It is absolutely devastating out

there, it’s going to take years to rebuild,” Beshear said at a news conference Tuesday morning. “People left with absolutely nothing, homes that we don’t know where they are, just entirely gone and we continue to find bodies of our brothers and sisters that we have lost.” He said there was one additional rescue Monday, but “we’re going to have some bad news to report later today, too.” The rain had largely moved out of eastern Kentucky and West Virginia on Tuesday morning, giving way to drier conditions through Tuesday afternoon, meteorologists said, and introducing the next weather challenge: heat. According to the National Weather Service, temperatures in eastern Kentucky could reach the high 80s with a heat index of 95 by Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday, the heat index is expected to reach 101 degrees. “Areas that are devastated, that we’re still getting power to some places, are going to be dangerously hot,” Beshear

said. His office announced that cooling centers had opened across the state. Showers and storms could return to parts of Kentucky by Thursday and Friday. Since last week, the worst of the devastation from the rain has been concentrated in roughly a half-dozen counties in the Appalachian region in Kentucky’s southeast. Those communities have been upended with severe damage to homes and families. Beshear said that 191 displaced residents had sought refuge in state park facilities and 429 others were staying in 11 emergency shelters, which are managed by the state and the Red Cross. The rescue agency said it housed 590 residents Monday night. Power is slowly being restored. About 7,600 Kentucky households were without power as of Tuesday afternoon, according to Kentucky Power. And in some places, floodwaters had, once again, swallowed roads that had reopened to let emergency workers through

after the initial flooding last week. As rainstorms blew through eastern Kentucky’s remote hills and valleys Monday, rescue workers were still trying to move through areas where the floods, and the mudslides they unleashed, had destroyed infrastructure and cut off cellphone service. Among the emergency responders was Bowling, who also works for the Jackson Fire Department. Last week was his 18th flooding event. Days later, he remained shocked by what he had seen. “When you round the corner and there are homes there that have never had issues with water or rain and the only thing that’s left are foundations,” he said. “These are historic homes that have been there for hundreds of years.” He said Jackson and other Appalachian towns are masters in resilience. “That’s what mountain people are,” he said. “We are a phoenix, we get washed away, burned down and come back in a different form but we always come back.”

Rescue crews worked to restore power and water and to recover bodies after floods ravaged southeastern Kentucky. More than three dozen people were confirmed dead, and the toll was expected to climb.

Manchin won a pledge from Democrats to finish a contested pipeline

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Capitol Hill in Washington, April 7, 2022. To secure Manchin’s support for a climate and tax package, Democratic Party leaders promised to pass a law to complete a contested gas line in West Virginia and to prioritize some other fossil fuel projects. By LISA FRIEDMAN

en. Joe Manchin of West Virginia has secured a promise from Democratic leaders and the White House to complete a highly contested 304-mile gas pipeline in his state, his office said, a major concession won as part of negotiations over a climate and tax bill. Manchin, who clinched a surprise agreement last week among Democrats to pass landmark climate legislation, made easing permits for energy projects a requirement of the deal. Earlier this week, his office made public details of the side agreement he struck with Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic majority leader, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Joe Biden. It would ensure that federal agencies “take all necessary actions to permit the construction and operation” of the gas line, known as the Mountain Valley Pipeline. The project —

which has been opposed for years by environmentalists, civil rights activists and many Democratic state lawmakers in Virginia — would carry natural gas from the Marcellus Shale fields in West Virginia across nearly 1,000 streams and wetlands before ending in Virginia. The pipeline was originally supposed to be completed by 2018 but environmental groups have successfully challenged a series of federal permits for the project in the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia. The court has overturned permits issued by the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service, saying that their analyses about adverse impacts on wildlife, sedimentation and erosion were flawed. The delays have been so extensive that the project’s certification from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will expire in October. The developers are seeking an extension for a second time. Jared Margolis, a senior attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, one of the groups fighting the pipeline, acknowledged that Congress does have the ability to override the courts and move the project forward. But, he said, “That’s not going to prevent a challenge” from opponents. The side deal cut by Manchin and Democratic leaders would give the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit jurisdiction over all future legal challenges, taking the case away from the 4th District, where environmentalists had found success. Other parts of the agreement would make it harder for opponents to hold up energy projects under the National Envi-

ronmental Policy Act, a bedrock environmental law, by setting a two-year time limit for challenges. It would also require the president to establish 25 “priority” projects on federal lands that must include fossil fuels and nuclear energy. And it would revise a section of the Clean Water Act in a way that would make it more difficult to block or delay pipeline projects. Neither Schumer nor Pelosi responded to requests for comment. A White House spokesperson also did not respond. Some Democrats like Raúl Grijalva, chair of the House Committee on Natural Resources, have said they will not support any measures that fast-track pipelines or other energy projects. But three people familiar with Manchin’s agreement said Democratic leaders were likely to insert the Mountain Valley Pipeline and permitting provisions into a must-pass piece of legislation, such as the bill that funds the federal government, to maximize its chances. Manchin on Monday said he believed the United States needed to reform the rules around permits to increase energy production. “Why are we going around the world asking people to do what we want to do for ourselves?” Manchin said. “How do we get a permitting process to meet the challenges that we have today and the urgency that we can’t do because of our permitting.” Environmental activists denounced the Mountain Valley Pipeline and permitting deal, and called on Democrats to rethink that agreement with Manchin. “The implications of this side deal are very significant especially as Congress is poised to accelerate the development of energy projects,” said Abigail Dillen, president of Earthjustice, an environmental group. She said she was particularly concerned that limiting the time to review and challenge projects could allow developers to “run roughshod over communities.” Opponents of the Mountain Valley Pipeline called Manchin’s deal dangerous for water quality and the climate, noting that the creation of a new pipeline would guarantee additional greenhouse gas emissions into the future. The pipeline is expected to deliver more than 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. Notably, none of the environmental groups called for lawmakers to vote against the climate and tax package, which currently includes $369 billion over 10 years to pivot the nation away from fossil fuels. Energy experts have calculated the overall package will reduce emissions as much as 40% below 2005 levels by the end of this decade, even with eased permitting and other measures that Manchin secured for fossil fuel development. Some called the permitting deal a win for all energy development. “This strikes me as a balanced approach,” said Neil Chatterjee, the former chair of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Chatterjee said making it easier to acquire permits for projects could also help add wind, solar and other renewable energy to the electrical grid more quickly. Schumer has indicated he hopes to hold a vote on the broader climate and tax bill as early as this week.

Retail’s ‘dark side’: As inventory piles up, liquidation warehouses are busy By MICHAEL CORKERY

nce upon a time, when parents were scrambling to occupy their children during pandemic lockdowns, bicycles were hard to find. But today, in a giant warehouse in northeastern Pennsylvania, there are shiny new Huffys and Schwinns available at big discounts. The same goes for patio furniture, garden hoses and portable pizza ovens. There are home spas, Rachael Ray’s nonstick pans and a backyard firepit, which promises to make “memories every day.” The warehouse is run by Liquidity Services, a company that collects surplus and returned goods from major retailers like Target and Amazon and resells them, often for cents on the dollar. The facility opened in November and is operating at exceptionally high volumes for this time of year. The warehouse offers a window into a reckoning across the retail industry and the broader economy: After a two-year binge of consumer spending — fueled by government checks and the ease of e-commerce — a nasty hangover is taking hold. With consumers cutting down on discretionary purchases because of high inflation, retailers are now stuck with more inventory than they need. While overall spending rebounded last month, some major retailers say shoppers are buying less clothing, gardening equipment and electronics and focusing instead on basics like food and gas. Adding to that glut are all the things people bought during the pandemic — often online — and then returned. In 2021, shoppers returned an average of 16.6% of their purchases, up from 10.6% in 2020 and more than double the rate in 2019, according to an analysis by the National Retail Federation, a trade group, and Appriss Retail, a software and analytics firm. Last year’s returns, which retailers are not always able to resell themselves, totaled $761 billion in lost sales. That, the retail federation noted, is more than the annual budget for the U.S. Department of Defense. It’s becoming clear that retailers badly misjudged supply and demand. Part of their miscalculation was caused by supply chain delays, which prompted companies to secure products far in advance. Then, there is the natural cycle of booms — whether because of optimism or greed, companies rarely pull back before it’s too late.

Walter Crowley, who regularly buys goods from the warehouse run by Liquidity Services, a company that collects retailers’ unwanted and returned goods, in Pittston, Pa., on July 19, 2022. Crowley focuses mostly on discounted home improvement goods, which he resells to local contractors. “It is surprising to me on some level that we saw all that surge of buying activity and we weren’t collectively able to see that it was going to end at some point,” J.D. Daunt, chief commercial officer at Liquidity Services, said at the Pennsylvania warehouse earlier this month. “You would think that there would be enough data and enough history to see that a little more clearly,” he added. “But it also suggests that times are changing and they are changing fast and more dramatically.” Strong consumer spending may have saved the economy from ruin during the pandemic, but it has also led to enormous excess and waste. Retailers have begun to slash prices on inventory in their stores and online. Last Monday, Walmart issued the industry’s latest warning when it said that its operating profits would drop sharply this year as it cut prices on an oversupply of general merchandise. Many companies cannot afford to let discounted items linger on their shelves because they have to make room for new seasonal goods and the necessities that consumers now prefer. While some retailers are discounting the surplus within their stores, many would rather avoid holding big sales themselves for fear of hurting their brands by conditioning buyers to expect big price cuts as the norm. So retailers

look to liquidators to do that dirty work. Additionally, industry executives say the glut is so large that some retailers could run out of space to house it all. “It’s unprecedented,” said Chuck Johnston, a former Walmart executive, who is now chief strategy officer at goTRG, a firm that helps retailers manage returns. “I have never seen the pressure in terms of excess inventory as I am seeing right now.” Even before the inventory glut appeared this spring, returns had been a major problem for retailers. The huge surge in e-commerce sales during the pandemic — increasing more than 40% in 2020 from the previous year — has only added to it. The National Retail Federation and Appriss Retail calculate that more than 10% of returns last year involved fraud, including people wearing clothing and then sending it back or stealing goods from stores and returning them with fake receipts. But more fundamentally, industry analysts say the increasing returns reflect consumer expectations that everything can be taken back. “It’s getting worse and worse,” Johnston said. Some of the returns and excess inventory will be donated to charities or returned to the manufacturers. Others get recycled, buried in

landfills or burned in incinerators that generate electricity. Liquidators say they offer a more environmentally responsible option by finding new buyers and markets for unwanted products, both those that were returned and those that were never bought in the first place. “We are reducing the carbon footprint,” said Tony Sciarrotta, executive director of the Reverse Logistics Association, the industry trade group. “But there is still too much going to landfills.” Retailers will probably receive only a fraction of the items’ original value from the liquidators but it makes more sense to take the losses and move the goods off the store shelves quickly. Still, liquidation can be a sensitive topic for the big companies that want customers to focus on their “A-goods,” not the failures. Sciarrotta calls it “the dark side” of retail. On a tour through the Pennsylvania warehouse, Daunt and the warehouse manager, Trevor Morgan, said they were not allowed to discuss where the products originated. But it was not difficult to figure out. An 85-inch flat-screen TV had an Amazon Prime sticker still on the box. Bathroom vanities came from Home Depot. There was a “home theater” memory foam futon with a built-in cup holder from a Walmart return center. The buyers bid for the goods through online auctions and then drive to the warehouse to pick up their winnings. It’s a diverse group. There was a science teacher who stocked up on plastic parts for his class, as well as a woman who planned to resell her purchases — neon green Igloo coolers, a table saw, baby pajamas — in the Haitian and Jamaican communities of New York. She ships other items to Trinidad. The Pennsylvania warehouse, one of eight that Liquidity Services operates around the country, employs about 20 workers, some of whom have been hired on a temporary basis. The starting pay is $17.50 an hour. Charles Benincasa, 39, is a temporary worker who has had numerous “warehousing” jobs, the most recent at the Chewy pet food distribution center in nearby Wilkes-Barre. Benincasa said his friends and family had gotten in the habit of returning many of the goods they buy online. But as he’s watched the boxes pile up in the Liquidity Services warehouse, he worries about the implications for the economy. “Companies are losing a lot of money,” he said. “There is no free lunch.”

Uber posts record revenue but loses more money from investments By KELLEN BROWNING

ber on Tuesday reported record revenue in its most recent quarter and said more drivers and couriers were using its platform than ever before, suggesting that the company is emerging from a pandemic-fueled downturn in a far better position than it was two years ago. Still, Uber lost nearly $2 billion from its stakes in other ridehailing services. The company outperformed analysts’ expectations, shaking off concerns over high inflation to post $8 billion in revenue, a 105% spike from a year earlier, when the world was just emerging from pandemic lockdowns. Growth in Uber’s ride-hailing business drove the increase, although its food delivery arm jumped 37% from a year earlier. The record 122 million people using Uber each month accounted for a combined 1.8 billion trips in the April-toJune quarter, up 24% from a year earlier. Uber’s stock rose more than 10% in premarket trading Tuesday. Uber said it had generated $382 million in free cash flow — its first positive free cash flow in a quarter, meaning

it generated more money from its business operations than it lost. That’s a milestone sought by Dara Khosrowshahi, the chief executive, as he tries to guide Uber toward consistently turning a profit. As the tech and business markets have cooled, Khosrowshahi has told his employees to cut costs and focus on profitability.

Uber reported second-quarter revenue of $8 billion, more than double its revenue from a year earlier.

“I challenged the team to meet our profitability commitments even faster than planned, and the team delivered,” Khosrowshahi wrote in prepared remarks Tuesday. Uber’s strong results, on the heels of more mixed reports from other tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft, were not without blemishes. The company still lost $2.6 billion, including $1.7 billion from its investments in other ride-hailing businesses like Aurora, Grab and Zomato. But the company pointed to other positive signs. Although Uber has had to contend with high gas prices and is entangled in a variety of legal disputes across the United States over the employment status of its drivers, it now has nearly 5 million drivers around the world, a record number and a 31% increase from a year earlier. On Friday, Uber said it would begin allowing drivers to see their destination and earnings for a trip before accepting a passenger, a change that the company said was aimed at giving its drivers more flexibility and support. The new program, Upfront Pricing, has been tested in about 20 U.S. markets this year and will be rolled out to most of the country, except California and some other markets, in the coming months, said Alix Anfang, an Uber spokesperson.

Merger of publishers could test Biden on antitrust enforcement By DAVID McCABE

federal judge earlier this week began a trial that will decide whether Penguin Random House is allowed to buy Simon & Schuster, a case that could significantly affect the book publishing industry and that will test the Biden administration’s efforts to expand antitrust enforcement. In opening statements in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, John Read, a lawyer for the Justice Department, said the merger “must be stopped.” Read laid out the government’s case that the merger would reduce the number of bidders for the rights to publish what the government has called “anticipated top-selling books,” in turn driving down the value of advances paid to authors. “This lawsuit is designed to protect those authors and those books,” he said. The $2.18 billion acquisition of Simon & Schuster would expand Penguin Random House, which is already the largest book publisher in the U.S., and eliminate one of the other “Big Five” book houses. The industry has already undergone a fair amount of consolidation, with Penguin Random House, owned by German company Bertelsmann, itself the product of a 2013 merger. The case is also an early test of the Biden administration’s efforts to take on more boundary-pushing antitrust cases, in this instance, one arguing that corporate concentration is bad for workers, including book authors. The companies have said that they believe that Simon & Schuster authors will benefit from Penguin Random House’s significant distribution resources and that more-efficient bu-

siness operations will allow them to increase author pay. And a lawyer for Penguin Random House, Daniel Petrocelli, argued in his opening statement that the government’s case had a fundamental flaw: The idea that a discrete category of anticipated bestselling books exists in the industry is not grounded in reality, he said. Publishers, Petrocelli added, often pay big advances for books that fail to do well financially. “Every book is a dream,” Petrocelli said. “And sometimes dreams come true, and sometimes they don’t.” The trial is expected to bring a parade of publishing

executives, literary agents and authors as witnesses to the wood-paneled courtroom of Judge Florence Y. Pan. On Monday, Michael Pietsch, CEO of Hachette Book Group, another of the Big Five publishing houses, testified that he believed the merger would result in a “loss in variety” of books and lower advances for authors. Pietsch said he hoped Hachette’s parent company would pursue buying Simon & Schuster if the proposed merger fell apart. Stephen King, the bestselling author of horror novels, is expected to testify for the government.

13 Stocks

U.S. stocks gyrate, dollar gains on economic, geopolitical concerns Y ou’re not the only one confused about where the economy is headed. Just look at the stock market, where perplexed investors have been sending stocks on a wild ride in August. And there could be plenty more where that came from. Two notoriously volatile months for stocks lie just ahead. Stocks around the world jumped Friday to cap another tumultuous week. Investors have been frantically trying to rejigger their predictions about whether President Donald Trump’s trade war and slowing economies around the world will drag the United States into a recession. In the U.S., the result was a week where the Dow Jones Industrial Average had four days where it rose or fell by more than 300 points — with an 800-point drop thrown into the mix. On Friday, the S&P 500 rose 1.4%. The Dow climbed 1.2% and the Nasdaq picked up 1.7%. But each index still finished with a third-straight weekly decline. Stocks, bonds and other investments heaved up and down throughout the week, with worries hitting a crescendo on Wednesday when a fairly reliable warning signal of recession flipped on in the U.S. Treasury market. Friday marked the seventh time in the last 10 days that the S&P 500 swung by at least 1%, something that hasn’t happened since the end of 2018, the last time investors were getting worried about a possible recession. At that time, they were concerned about rising interest rates, along with the trade war. Don’t expect the volatility to go away anytime soon, analysts say. No one knows when Trump’s trade war will find a resolution, nor whether all the uncertainty it’s created will push enough businesses and shoppers to hold off on spending and cause a recession. Some investors are digging in for trade tensions to last through the 2020 election. “We’re also heading into a tough season for the market,” said Emily Roland, co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management. “September and October tend to be the most volatile of the year for markets. We’ve been talking to investors for that reason to look for areas to prune risk within a portfolio.” The S&P 500 has lost an average of 1.1% in September over the last 20 years, making it the worst-performing month of the year. October’s track record is better, but it includes the worst monthly performance in that stretch, a nearly 17% drop in 2008. But Roland and other professional investors also caution that this kind of turmoil is actually normal for the market, when looking at it from a very long-term point of view. The U.S. stock market historically has had such bursts of tightly packed volatile days, interspersed between longer periods of calm. Since early 2009, whenever the S&P 500 has had a drop of 3% in a day, it either preceded or followed another such drop within a month 70% of the time.

As fighting spreads, over 140,000 residential buildings have been damaged, Ukraine says By MARC SANTORA and PETER BAKER

s the U.S. investment in Ukraine’s war effort grew to over $8 billion Monday, the devastation inside Ukraine continues to mount. Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday that at least 140,000 residential buildings had been destroyed or damaged since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February, leaving more than 3.5 million people homeless. While the arrival of long-range Western weapons has helped the Ukrainians stabilize their defensive positions in the east and begin to mount a counteroffensive in the south, the Russians continue to pound military and civilian targets across the country. The Ukrainian military said Tuesday that it had repelled several attempts by the Russians to advance on the eastern city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region. As fighting in southern Ukraine intensifies, Russia’s forces have largely closed all traffic in and out of the territories they occupy. But civilians are still trying to find ways to escape, and at least two were killed while fleeing the Kherson region in a red minibus, Ukrainian officials said Tuesday. Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the military administration in the neighboring area of Kryvyi Rih, said Russian soldiers had fired on the vehicle at “point-blank range,” killing two people and injuring five others. The injured managed to make it to Ukrainian-controlled territory and

The Ukrainian military said it had repelled several attempts by the Russians to advance on the eastern city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region. are now in a hospital in Kryvyi Rih, where two remain in critical condition. As civilians in occupied regions of the south struggle to find safe escape routes, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has also called on an estimated 200,000 civilians to evacuate from eastern Ukraine, with Russian bombardments having destroyed nearly all of the essential infrastructure for providing heat and electricity. An emergency evacuation train carrying “women, children, elderly people, many people with reduced mo-

bility” made its way west Tuesday morning, Iryna Vereshchuk, a deputy prime minister, said in a statement. She said the plan was to help people flee until the beginning of the colder months, at which point officials say there will be little that the government in Kyiv can do for them. Despite the widespread suffering, Zelenskyy said the continuing commitment shown by Ukraine’s Western allies was allowing them to take the fight to the Russians. “The power of the democratic world is well felt on the battlefield in Ukraine this week,” he said in his overnight address to the nation. The latest U.S. arms transfer unveiled Monday, worth $550 million, will include ammunition for the HIMARS rocket launchers that have been used to destroy Russian command posts and ammunition depots as well as for 155 mm howitzers already in use by Ukrainian troops, said John F. Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council. President Joe Biden authorized the latest package as the first cargo ship of food left the Ukrainian port city of Odesa after months of Russian blockade, in accordance with an agreement with Moscow. The White House called on the Kremlin to continue abiding by the pact to ease a growing food crisis around the world. “Russia has, of course, weaponized food,” Kirby said. “We urge Russia to meet its commitments under this new arrangement.”

First grain ship leaving Ukraine sails smoothly to Turkish waters By MATINA STEVIS-GRIDNEFF

he first ship laden with grains to leave Ukraine’s Black Sea ports since the Russian invasion began in February was enjoying a smooth voyage Tuesday and was expected to reach a Turkish port later in the day, while another vessel prepared to follow suit, marking an uneventful first full day in what has been a high-risk breakthrough for the warring parties. The vessel, the Razoni, loaded with 26,000 tons of corn, on Monday became the first ship out of Odesa under an international agreement to allow the safe passage of such cargo. It was guided safely through mined Ukrainian waters by a tugboat, which completed its escort mission when the bulk carrier reached the edge of Ukraine’s maritime borders with Moldova, to the south. The ship, which is mostly crewed by Syrians, is bound for the Lebanese port of Tripoli, but it will first stop in Turkey to undergo an inspection. Local officials said it was scheduled to arrive there by midnight.

The Riva Wind, another bulk carrier moored in Odesa since February, has also been laden with 50,000 tons of feed grain and is preparing to leave on its first voyage in nearly six months, its owners said in a statement Tuesday. More than a dozen other vessels are awaiting their cargo and instructions to sail off, Ukrainian authorities have said. Under the international agreement breaking through the Russian blockade of Ukrainian ports, brokered by the United Nations and Turkey in intense diplomatic talks that lasted three months, the ships will be inspected by joint teams in Turkish waters. Turkey has said it expects one ship per day to leave Ukraine’s ports under the agreement. The Turkish defense ministry said the vessels would likely be checked at the entrance and exit of the Bosporus, where they will wait in line to enter one of the world’s most crucial trade waterways. Returning vessels headed to Ukrainian ports empty to be loaded with more grains will also be inspected before entering the Black Sea

through the Turkish Bosporus Straits, to ensure that they are not carrying weapons, per Russia’s demands. The deal, under which Russia has committed to grant safe passage to the vessels, was reached last month and is aimed at first getting more than 20 millions tons of grains stuck in storage facilities in Ukrainian ports around Odesa out to global markets, and then creating a predictable and steady flow of the crops. The quantities are huge and desperately needed around the world. Ukraine is one of the world’s breadbaskets, and shortages in the Middle East and Africa have fueled spiraling inflation and bread shortages, pushing some of the world’s most fragile nations close to famine. Ukraine had installed mines across its coastline to quell a possible Russian amphibious attack. Now, under the agreement to unblock its ports and resume the trade of grains, Ukraine is providing the ships’ crews guidance on how to navigate the mined waters, as well as escorts to help them out.

The shipments, if they continue at a reasonable pace and with safety, have the potential to make a significant difference in the global supply and therefore price of key grains. “If this corridor proves even reasonably successful, it will go a long way to alleviating shortages of grains across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia,” said Michael Magdovitz, a senior commodities analyst at Rabobank. “We expect corn exports to more than double from 9 million tons to 18 million to 22 million tons per year if the corridor is even mildly successful,” he added. “To put the additional 9 million tons of corn exports in perspective, the U.S. and EU have nearly lost that amount of grain in the recent heat wave.” Yet experts say that even with Ukrainian grain exports moving again, a global food crisis fueled by wars, the economic devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic and extreme weather often worsened by climate change is likely to endure.

Brittney Griner appears in Russian court as attorneys plead for leniency By IVAN NECHEPURENKO

scorted by a masked police officer with a dog, her wrists handcuffed, American basketball star Brittney Griner appeared in a Russian court Tuesday for another hearing in a trial that is likely to end with her conviction in the middle of this month, her attorneys said. One of the best players of her generation, Griner has been caught up in a confrontation between Russia and the United States over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As the case is heard in a courtroom, the wrangling over Griner’s fate has shifted increasingly to the diplomatic arena, with Russia and the United States signaling her possible involvement in an exchange for high-profile Russians in U.S. custody. Last week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. government had “put a substantial proposal on the table,” although he declined to discuss the details. On Thursday, he discussed the matter with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, in their first phone call since the war in Ukraine. But no breakthroughs were reported, and no progress is expected before Anna Sotnikova, a judge in the town of Khimki, near Moscow, delivers a verdict in the case. Griner, 31, was detained in a Moscow airport while traveling to Yekaterinburg, Russia, to play for a local team there about one week before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Customs officials found two vape cartridges containing less than 1 gram of hashish oil in her luggage. News of her detention was made public only after the

The W.N.B.A. star Brittney Griner arriving for a hearing near Moscow on Tuesday. war started, however. She was charged with attempting to smuggle a significant amount of illegal narcotics into Russia, an offense that carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Last month, Griner plead guilty to the charges, stressing that she had not intended to break Russian law and that the illegal substance had been in her luggage as a result of oversight while packing in a hurry. In Russia, a guilty plea does not end a trial, and the proceedings are expected to continue until mid-August, according to her legal team.

On Tuesday, Griner’s attorneys called in an expert, who testified that the analysis of vape cartridges carried out by the state did not meet Russian legal requirements. Thus, “it would be wrong to establish the exact amount” of the illegal substance, said Alexander Boikov, Griner’s attorney. According to the Russian criminal code, the severity of punishment depends on the amount of narcotics discovered in the defendant’s possession, among other things. Griner’s legal team is trying to persuade the judge to soften the eventual sentence. They had one of Griner’s Russian teammates, Yevgeniya Belyakova, testify, along with the team’s director and doctor. Her legal team has also argued that she was authorized to use medicinal cannabis in Arizona, where she has played for the Phoenix Mercury since 2013, to mitigate pain from injuries to her spine, ankle and knees. During her own testimony in court last week, Griner described how upon detention she had faced a confusing and sometimes bewildering Russian legal system. Her rights were not explained to her and an attorney was provided only 16 hours after her detention began, she said. Griner also said that she had been instructed to sign papers with no explanation of what they implied and that an interpreter, provided by the law enforcement, had translated “almost nothing.” The hearing was adjourned until Thursday, when both sides will present their closing arguments, said Maria Blagovolina, an attorney with the Rybalkin, Gortsunyan, Dyakin and Partners firm, which is also representing Griner.

After Pelosi’s arrival, China announced military drills in nearby waters By PAUL MOZUR and AMY QIN

hortly after Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s plane touched down in Taiwan, China’s military said it would conduct drills that appeared to infringe on Taiwan’s territorial waters, setting the stage for a new potential showdown between China and the United States over the self-governed island. Beijing announced plans for six zones encircling Taiwan where it said it would carry out live-fire military drills from Thursday to Sunday, with some of the areas overlapping with the island’s territorial waters, according to a statement released by Xinhua, China’s state news agency. Ships and aircraft were warned against trespassing in those areas for “safety reasons,” the statement said. In a separate statement, China’s People’s Liberation Army said that starting Tuesday evening, it would begin conducting a series of joint naval and air exercises in the waters and airspace to the north, southwest and southeast of Taiwan, according to an online statement attributed to Col. Shi Yi, spokesperson for China’s Eastern Theater Command. Those exercises would include “long-range live firing in the Taiwan Strait” and “regular-guided fire testing in the

eastern waters” off Taiwan, the statement said. The timing leaves open the possibility that the drills could begin while Pelosi, D-Calif., is still in Taiwan. Separate statements released by China’s Foreign Ministry and Defense Ministry shortly after Pelosi’s arrival in Taiwan framed the military actions as necessary to “resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.” Song Zhongping, an independent Chinese military analyst, said the two announcements were about a single drill. He said that preparations would begin Tuesday but that the actual live fire exercises would take place from Thursday to Sunday. “The People’s Liberation Army’s struggle with Taiwan is going to intensify in frequency and it will escalate the scale of force to tackle the U.S. government’s provocations,” he said, adding that drills that cross the median line that divides the waters between Taiwan and China would become more frequent. The planned drills would likely be the most assertive show of Chinese military power in the region since the Taiwan Strait crisis of 1995 and 1996, when China fired missiles to intimidate the island and President Bill Clinton ordered aircraft carriers into the area. Analysts said the drills in the six zones would effecti-

vely block access to commercial shipping lanes and Taiwanese ports. Although Taiwan and the United States will decide whether and how to respond to China’s actions, the concern is that the fast-moving situation could lead to an accidental encounter that could spiral out of control. “The looming Chinese military exercises would bring great pressure to the Taiwanese military,” said Chieh Chung, a security analyst with the National Policy Foundation in Taipei, Taiwan. “If a slight accident occurs, the low trust between both sides of the strait and the lack of experience in dealing with crises is likely to escalate the tensions and lead to irreversible consequences.” The military drills appear to be part of a series of Chinese countermeasures taken in response to Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. On Tuesday, before she arrived, China instituted a ban on shipments from more than 100 Taiwanese food exporters — an apparent attempt to ratchet up economic pressure on the island. China has increasingly sought to leverage its status as Taiwan’s largest trading partner and has moved several times to restrict the island’s access to its vast consumer market in recent years through bans on products ranging from pineapples to grouper fish.

Killed at 71, Ayman al-Zawahri led a life of secrecy and violence By DOUGLAS MARTIN and ALAN COWELL

yman al-Zawahri, the Egyptian-born surgeon-turned-jihadi who assumed the leadership of al-Qaida after the killing of Osama bin Laden and who died at 71 in a drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan, over the weekend, according to U.S. officials, led a life steeped in secrecy, betrayal, conspiracy and violence, most murderously in the Sept. 11 attacks against the United States in 2001. While bin Laden, who was killed by an American raid in 2011, was widely seen as the terrorist mastermind of those attacks, many counterterrorism experts considered alZawahri more responsible. With his white turban and dense, gray beard, his forehead marked by the bruising prized by some Muslims as denoting piety from frequent prayer, al-Zawahri had little of bin Laden’s charisma and none of his access to fabled family wealth. But he was widely depicted as the intellectual spine of al-Qaida — its chief operating officer, its public relations executive, and a profound influence who helped the Saudi-born bin Laden grow from a charismatic preacher into a deadly terrorist with global reach. In an interview in May 2011 with the Investigative Project on Terrorism, a research group, Tawfik Hamid, a former Islamic militant who now studies the subject, said that of the two men, al-Zawahri was a more influential leader. “When you listen to him, you can tell clearly that he has the ambition and is dedicated 100% to achieve this mission,” Hamid said. During his leadership of al-Qaida, the organization’s global influence waned as the Islamic State group rose. But the group remained a threat, with affiliates in several countries carrying out attacks. And al-Zawahri, to whom they all swore allegiance, was still one of the world’s most-wanted terrorists at his death. From his teenage years in an upscale suburb of Cairo, al-Zawahri led a cat-and-mouse existence, serving prison terms in Egypt and Russia and hunted by adversaries, including U.S. counterterrorism authorities, who placed a $25 million bounty on his head. Yet he seemed always to stay one step ahead, hiding out in the craggy redoubts of Afghanistan and Pakistan’s tribal areas. Over time, his aims and ideology evolved from a visceral hatred of secular rule in Egypt, where he was among those tried for conspiracy in the 1981 assassination of President Anwar Sadat, to a virulent campaign to strike at the so-called “far enemy,” the United States, al-Qaida’s target of preference. The group’s tactical strength lay in its ability to launch spectacular assaults, starting with the simultaneous attacks on the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998 and the suicide bombing of the American destroyer USS Cole in Yemen in 2000, and

Osama bin Laden with Ayman al-Zawahri in 2001. culminating in the attacks on New York and Washington in 2001 that led to the American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. In the following decade, American counterterrorism authorities pursued bin Laden and al-Zawahri, his deputy and chosen successor. Drone strikes decimated al-Qaida’s leadership in a sustained effort to degrade the organization and avenge the Sept. 11 attacks. On at least one occasion, al-Zawahri was said to have died, only to resurface in the sporadic video and audiotapes that spread his message. In May 2011, a Navy SEAL team killed bin Laden in a raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. For a more than a month, al-Qaida was silent on its future leadership. Then al-Zawahri put out a 28-minute video of himself. With a rifle in the background and making a chopping motion with his hand, he promised that bin Laden would continue to “terrify” America after his death. “Blood for blood,” he said. A rising competitor By that time, a newer generation of jihadis had grown, first in the chaos of Iraq after the American invasion, and then spreading to Syria after civil war broke out there in 2011. In the ensuing mayhem, the Islamic State group rose to prominence as a new beacon of jihadi zeal, attracting tens of thousands of followers with its media-savvy, internetage messages, its slick videos of beheadings and its capture of huge swaths of territory in which it declared a new caliphate for the world’s Muslims. Shorn of its iconic leader, al-Qaida, by contrast, had been forced to abandon its centralized command structure while its affiliates, particularly in Yemen and Syria, pledged allegiance to al-Zawahri in a sharpening and bloody feud with the Islamic State group, which, paradoxically, had begun as an offshoot of al-Qaida in Iraq. Both groups were rooted in Sunni Muslim extremism. But the distinctions between them were legion. While the Islamic State group sought hegemony among jihadi groups and

thirsted for territorial expansion, al-Qaida’s affiliates showed increasing readiness to cooperate with other groups and little appetite for occupation. Al-Zawahri castigated the Islamic State group and its leaders for their practice of killing Shiite Muslim civilians, fearing that such killings would taint the jihadi cause among Muslims. And while Islamic State group disciples reinforced the group’s reputation for brutality through videos of the decapitations of Western hostages and other acts of savagery, al-Zawahri opposed such displays, apparently to avoid alienating potential supporters. Sajjan M. Gohel, a specialist in international terrorism based in London, wrote that al-Zawahri was happy to let the Islamic State group face attacks by U.S.-backed coalition forces in Iraq and Syria, giving al-Qaida the space to “reconstitute its infrastructure and networks across the Islamic world” and revive its long-term goal of striking targets in the West. In 2015, al-Zawahri played what he calculated would be a winning card in his group’s revival, introducing to followers Hamza bin Laden, a son of the al-Qaida founder, and describing him in an audio recording as a “lion from al-Qaida’s den.” In the broadcast, Hamza bin Laden exhorted jihadis to carry out “the highest number of attacks” on Western cities. A year later, in a message aimed at America titled “We are all Osama,” Hamza bin Laden issued a personal appeal to avenge his father. “Yours will be a harsh reckoning,” he said. “We are a nation that does not rest over injustice.” Hamza bin Laden had been among a group of bin Laden relatives who took refuge in Iran after the Sept. 11 attacks, held under house arrest arrangements of varying severity. Some analysts believed that he was no more than a figurehead whose utterances were intended to lure younger jihadis from the Islamic State group. According to Gohel, Hamza bin Laden had at least two wives, including a daughter

of al-Zawahri’s who bore two children, linking the two families in a “strategic marriage alliance.” Hamza bin Laden was killed in a counterterrorism operation in Afghanistan sometime in 2017 or 2018, U.S. officials said. A prominent family Ayman Muhammad Rabie al-Zawahri, one of five children, was born on June 19, 1951, in Maadi, a Cairo suburb. His father was a pharmacology professor whose uncle had been grand imam of Al Azhar, a 1,000-yearold university that is a center of Islamic learning. His mother’s father was president of Cairo University, founder and director of King Saud University in Riyadh and an ambassador to Saudi Arabia and other countries. Another of her relatives was the first secretary general of the Arab League. Despite its prominence, the family displayed little evident prosperity and never owned a car until Ayman was grown. Lawrence Wright, in his book “The Looming Tower: AlQaeda and the Road to 9/11” (2006), said that the al-Zawahris’ reclusive, conservative, even backward ways caused them to be perceived as “hicks.” Al-Zawahri was a brilliant student when he was not daydreaming and opposed contact sports as inhumane. He began reading Islamist literature at an early age. One enormous influence was Sayyid Qutb, an Islamic thinker who saw the world diametrically divided between believers and infidels. (He included moderate Muslims among the infidels.) Qutb was imprisoned and tortured in Egypt and hanged there in 1966. “In al-Zawahri’s eyes, Sayyid Qutb’s words struck young Muslims more deeply than those of his contemporaries because his words eventually led to his execution,” Montasser al-Zayyat, an Islamic radical and lawyer, wrote in “The Road to Al-Qaeda: The Story of Bin Laden’s Right-Hand Man” (2004). Another influence was the humiliating defeat the Arab countries suffered at the hands of Israel in 1967. It turned many young people away from the Pan-Arab socialism pursued by President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt and toward anti-Western forms of Islam. In 1966, al-Zawahri helped form an underground militant cell dedicated to replacing Egypt’s secular government with an Islamic one. He was 15. At first there were five members. By 1974 there were 40. Al-Zawahri kept his involvement secret from even his family while he attended medical school at Cairo University. He graduated in 1974, served three years in the army and earned a master’s degree in surgery in 1978. Through his and her families, al-Zawahri met Azza Nowair, who, Wright wrote, came from a well-off background. He suggested that in another time she might have been a professional or a socialite. But she had become deeply religious, wore a veil and spent whole

nights reading the Quran. When they were married in 1979, al-Zawahri had seen her face exactly once. At the ceremony, there were men’s and women’s sections. At the bride’s request, there was no music or photography. In October 2001, soon after the attacks on America, Azza al-Zawahri and at least one of their children were killed by bombardments in Afghanistan. Wounded, she had refused to be pulled from the rubble, news accounts of the bombardment said, for fear that rescuers would see her face — an offense against Islamic modesty. Published reports have said that they had four daughters and a son. Al-Zawahri was working in a clinic in Egypt in 1980 when he seized an opportunity to go to Peshawar, Pakistan, for the Red Crescent, the Muslim correlate of the Red Cross, to treat refugees fleeing Afghanistan after the Soviet invasion. He visited Afghanistan and recognized it as a good place to launch a jihad, returning many times. When he was arrested in 1981 for conspiring to murder Sadat, he was slapped by the chief of police. Al-Zawahri slapped him back. At his trial, along with hundreds of others, he was convicted only of gun possession. But as the trial proceeded for nearly three years, he was repeatedly tortured in prison. Under interrogation, he revealed the name, activities and whereabouts of one of his collaborators, a soldier, which led to the man’s arrest.

In an interview with The New Yorker in 2002, Zayyat, the lawyer for many Islamist activists, suggested that the guilt al-Zawahri felt over this betrayal was a major reason for his leaving Egypt after he was released in 1984. Deviating from Islam In 1998, al-Zawahri wrote a document intended to unite militant groups in the common cause of killing Americans anywhere, not just in the Middle East. In 2001, his organization, Egyptian Islamic Jihad, officially merged with bin Laden’s Qaida network to create Qaida al Jihad. Al-Zawahri had the delicate task of explaining alQaida’s deviation from Islamic teachings that prohibit killing innocent people, particularly Muslims, and that bar suicide. He maintained that a martyr’s true faith reversed these prohibitions. “According to him the majority of Muslims around the world are not Muslim,” Azzam Tamimi, director of the Institute of Islamic Political Thought in London, told Time magazine. “His ideas negate the existence of common ground with others, irrespective of religion.” Al-Zawahri became familiar to the world as the man sitting at bin Laden’s side in videos, and, later, by himself. His turn of phrase shone in his greeting to President Barack Obama in 2008: “Be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them.” But he could also counsel moderation, if public rela-

tions required it. In 2005, he wrote Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, that he should stop attacking mosques and making videos of beheadings. In 2003, he scrubbed a plan to flood New York subway tunnels with cyanide because, he said, it “was not sufficiently inspiring.” By 1990, Islamic guerrillas, backed by Pakistan and the CIA, had forced the Soviets out of Afghanistan, and the Arabs who had come to fight the Soviets were leaving. Sudan’s government invited bin Laden there. He and alZawahri bought farms in Sudan and converted them into military training bases. They also established camps in Yemen. Al-Zawahri organized several terrorist acts, including an assassination attempt on the Egyptian prime minister. The bomb missed its target, but 21 people were wounded and a 12-year-old schoolgirl was killed. In 1995 and 1996, a series of bombings in Saudi Arabia killed Americans. In 1998, al-Zawahri commissioned a study on Jewish influence in the United States; it led to the United States’ being formally placed on Islamic Jihad’s list of acceptable targets. Bin Laden was so pleased that he raised Islamic Jihad’s annual budget from $300,000 to $500,000. As a result of the founding document written by alZawahri, the International Islamic Front for Jihad on the Jews and Crusaders was formed in February 1998, combining the organizations of bin Laden and al-Zawahri. Its goal: kill Americans everywhere.

UN chief: ‘One miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation’ By FARNAZ FASSIHI and MICHAEL LEVENSON

he secretary-general of the United Nations warned Monday that humanity was “just one misunderstanding, one miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation,” citing the war in Ukraine among the conflicts driving the risk to a level not seen since the height of the Cold War. “All this at a time when the risks of proliferation are growing, and guardrails to prevent escalation are weakening,” the official, António Guterres, said. “And when crises — with nuclear undertones — are festering from the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.” Guterres was speaking at the opening session of a conference at the U.N. headquarters in New York about upholding and securing the 50-year-old global Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, meant to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, aiming for eventual disarmament. The conference took place after a twoyear delay because of the COVID-19 pandemic and was attended by high-level representatives from member states, including the prime minister of Japan, the U.S. secretary of state and dozens of foreign ministers and delegations. The threat of a nuclear confrontation or

The Secretary General warned the world had been “lucky” to avoid global nuclear war a nuclear accident emerging from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was a recurring theme in many of the day’s speeches. President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials have repeatedly suggested that nuclear war could erupt if NATO intervened in the war in Ukraine. His forces used the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster as a staging ground in the spring and have now turned a nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest, in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, into a battle fortress. In his remarks to the session, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the treaty had

made the world safer but was under increasing strain. Blinken mentioned Russia, Iran and North Korea as examples of nuclearrelated concerns. Blinken condemned Russia for engaging “in reckless, dangerous nuclear saber-rattling” and said North Korea was preparing to conduct its seventh round of nuclear testing. He said Iran had not yet agreed to return to its commitments under a nuclear deal with world powers and “remained on a path of nuclear escalation.” Russia and Iran are among the 191 signatories to the nonproliferation treaty. Iran

says that its nuclear program is for peaceful energy purposes, a stance the West has questioned and that has prompted efforts to work out a deal with Iran to blunt its nuclear ambitions. Blinken also criticized Russia for using the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant as a staging ground for attacks on Ukrainian forces, saying the Ukrainians were unable to fire back out of concern they might strike a nuclear reactor or stored radioactive waste. “That brings the notion of having a human shield to an entirely different and horrific level,” Blinken said. The conference, which normally meets every five years, will be reviewing the three priorities of the treaty: preventing the spread of nuclear weapons, promoting and supporting peaceful nuclear energy, and working toward global disarmament. But little is expected, given the current divisions among world powers. Putin, who put his nuclear forces into “special combat readiness” in the early days of the invasion in February, also sent a message to the nonproliferation conference. “We believe that there can be no winners in a nuclear war, and it must never be fought,” Putin wrote, according to Tass, the Russian news agency. “We advocate equal and inseparable security for all members of the international community.”

Can inflation reduction save the planet? By PAUL KRUGMAN

fter all the false starts and dashed hopes of the past two years, I’m reluctant to count my chickens before they’ve actually been signed in the Oval Office. Still, it appears that Democrats have finally agreed on another major piece of legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act. And if it does become law, it will be a very big deal. First, would the law, in fact, reduce inflation? Yes, probably — or at least it would reduce inflationary pressures. That’s because the legislation’s increased spending, mainly on clean energy but also on health care, would be more than offset through its tax provisions; so it would be a deficit reduction act, which other things being equal would make it disinflationary. But you want to think of the Inflation Reduction Act as being like the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956, which probably did strengthen national defense a bit but mainly benefited the United States by investing in the nation’s future. This bill would do the same, and maybe even more so. To understand why this bill inspires so much hope, it’s helpful to understand what has changed since Democrats’ last big effort to deal with climate change, the 2009 Waxman-Markey bill, which passed the House but died in the Senate. The core of Waxman-Markey was a “cap and trade” system that would, in practice, have operated a lot like a carbon tax. There were and are good arguments for such a system, which would give companies and individuals an incentive to cut emissions in multiple ways. But politically, it was easy to portray it as an eat-your-spinach plan, one demanding sacrifices from ordinary workers. With the failure of Waxman-Markey, the Obama administration was reduced to a much more limited agenda, one that relied on carrots rather than sticks — tax breaks for clean energy, loan guarantees for companies investing in renewables. I think it’s fair to say that most economists didn’t expect these measures to achieve much. But a funny thing happened on the way to the climate apocalypse: There was revolutionary progress in renewable energy technology, probably jumpstarted, at least in part, by those Obama-era policies. In 2009, electricity generated by wind power was still more expensive than electricity generated by burning coal, and solar power was more expensive still. But over the next decade wind power costs fell 70%, solar costs fell 89%. Add in plunging battery prices and it has become

possible to see the outlines of an economy that achieves drastic reductions in carbon emissions with little if any sacrifice, using electricity generated by renewable energy — as opposed to burning fossil fuels — to heat and cool our buildings, run our factories, power our cars and more. The climate portion of the Inflation Reduction Act is, for the most part, an attempt to accelerate that energy transition, mainly by offering tax credits for the adoption of low-emission technologies, including electric vehicles, but also by offering incentives to use less energy in general, notably by making buildings more energy efficient. There’s every reason to believe that these measures would have large effects. Unlike fossil fuels, which have been around for a long time, renewable energy is still an “infant industry” with a steep learning curve: The more we use these technologies, the better we get at them. So providing incentives for clean energy now will make that energy a lot cheaper in the future. And support for electric vehicles also helps solve a chicken-and-egg problem, in which drivers are reluctant to go electric because they aren’t sure they’ll find charging stations, and businesses don’t provide many charging stations because there aren’t yet that many electric cars. The point is that while the climate and energy provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act — about $370 billion over the next decade — would be only about 0.1% of projected gross domestic product over the same period, they could well have a catalytic effect on the energy transition. And they could also transform the political economy of climate policy. For years, environmentalists have been arguing that transitioning to clean energy should be considered an opportunity rather than a burden — that in addition to saving the planet, the transition would create many jobs and new business opportunities. But that’s a hard point to get across without widespread concrete examples of success. As long as serious climate policy was a proposal, not a reality, it was vulnerable to attacks from right-wingers portraying it as a nefarious plan to undermine the American way of life. But those attacks will become less effective once people start to see the real-world effects of climate action (which is why the right is so frantic about trying to block this legislation). If Democrats can pass this bill, the chances of additional action in the future will rise, perhaps sharply. So let’s hope there aren’t any last-minute snags. The Inflation Reduction Act won’t deliver everything climate

activists want. But if it happens, it will be a major step toward saving the planet.

Federales acusan a tres hombres que traficaron casi 1,000 armas de fuego POR CYBERNEWS

AN JUAN – El fiscal federal W. Stephen Muldrow informó el martes, que un gran jurado federal emitió tres acusaciones contra Radamés Revilla Machín, Roberto Miranda Schmidt y Luis Matos Rosa por supeusto tráfico de armas de fuego. “Trabajar con nuestros socios locales para abordar los delitos violentos es una de las principales prioridades del Departamento de Justicia. Los arrestos de hoy son otro ejemplo más de nuestro compromiso de combatir los delitos violentos y el tráfico ilegal de armas de fuego. Continuaremos investigando e interrumpiendo las redes que colocan armas en nuestras comunidades, a menudo con consecuencias trágicas”, dijo el fiscal federal Muldrow en declaraciones escritas. Según las acusaciones, desde 2012 Revilla Machín y Miranda Schmidt han transferido más de 820 armas de fuego en Puerto Rico. Desde 2019, Matos Rosa ha transferido más de 100 armas. Varias de estas

transferencias ocurrieron dentro de las 72 horas posteriores a la adquisición de las armas por parte de los acusados. Los tres acusados anunciaron la venta de armas en sitios web como comprayventadearmas.com y pewpewpr.com. Ninguno de estos individuos tenía licencia para vender armas de fuego. En 2019, la ATF envió a Revilla Machín una carta aconsejándole que dejara de involucrarse en el negocio sin licencia de tráfico de armas. “Los arrestos de hoy marcan avances significativos en los esfuerzos de la ATF y la NPPR para combatir el tráfico de armas de fuego en Puerto Rico. Este esfuerzo colaborativo mejora nuestra estrategia de prevención de delitos violentos al detener a quienes colocan armas de fuego en manos de delincuentes”, dijo Christopher Robinson, agente especial a cargo de la División de Campo de la ATF en Miami. El Negociado de Alcohol, Tabaco, Armas de Fuego y Explosivos (ATF) está a cargo de la investigación, con la colaboración del Negociado de la Policía de Puerto

Rico (NPPR). Los fiscales federales adjuntos Linet Suárez y Jonathan Gottfried de la Sección de Crímenes Violentos y Seguridad Nacional están a cargo del enjuiciamiento del caso. Si es declarado culpable, cada acusado enfrenta una sentencia de hasta cinco años de prisión. Una acusación es simplemente una acusación y se presume que todos los acusados son inocentes hasta que se pruebe su culpabilidad más allá de toda duda razonable en un tribunal de justicia.

Bad Bunny reigns again before Beyoncé’s chart arrival By JOE COSCARELLI

efore Beyoncé arrives with oomph on the charts, Bad Bunny is spending a seventh nonconsecutive week at No. 1. “Renaissance,” the feverishly anticipated and extensively teased seventh solo studio LP from Beyoncé, will debut on next week’s Billboard rankings; industry estimates predict an easy ride to No. 1 on the album chart, with between 275,000 and 315,000 total units including sales, streams and downloads. Spotify said Saturday that the first 24 hours of “Renaissance” made it the most-streamed release by a female artist in a single day this year. Those predictions, though not final, would put the singer near the top of the sales heap for 2022 debuts. But Beyoncé would still fall well short of the biggest opening to this point: Harry Styles’ “Harry’s House,” which opened with 521,500 units in May, including 182,000 copies on vinyl, the most of the modern era. Beyoncé, too, is selling multiple physical versions of her new release, but Billboard’s rules dictate that they will only be counted toward chart position when they are shipped to customers — an open logistical question that will affect her final first-week totals. In the meantime, Bad Bunny remains on top of the Billboard 200 for the fifth week in a row, during a relatively slow time for fresh releases from major artists. “Un Verano Sin Ti,” the fourth album from the Puerto Rican rapper and singer, earned 98,000 in sales by Billboard’s metrics, almost all of

which came via the 135.9 million streams of songs from the album, according to the tracking service Luminate. Released in May, “Un Verano Sin Ti” had topped 100,000 units in each of its previous 11 weeks on the chart, according to Billboard. Also in the Top 5 this week, with modest numbers: country singer Morgan Wallen’s “Dangerous: The Double Al-

bum,” released in early 2021, is back up to No. 2 with 49,000 units; “Harry’s House” is No. 3 with 48,000 units; South Korean group Seventeen is No. 4 with 34,000 units; and Future’s “I Never Liked You” is No. 5 with 33,000 units. Jack White’s latest solo album, “Entering Heaven Alive,” debuts at No. 9. Lizzo’s “Special” falls to No. 7 from No. 2 in its second week out, down 58% to 29,000 units.

Bad Bunny’s “Un Verano Sin Ti” earned 98,000 in equivalent album sales, almost all of which came via its 135.9 million streams.

Beyoncé will change lyrics after criticism over ‘ableist language’ By JULIA JACOBS

ays after the release of her latest album, “Renaissance,” Beyoncé will modify the lyrics of one of its songs, a representative for the singer said Monday, in response to an outcry from disability rights advocates who say the pop star should not have used a word that has historically been employed as a derogatory slur. In “Heated,” a dancehall-inspired track, the singer uses the words “spaz” and “spazzin’” in an energetically recited portion of the song that’s a callback to the freestyles at some ballroom events. Activists condemned the use of the word in social media posts, pointing out that another pop star, Lizzo, had removed the same lyric from a song following similar backlash in June. “The word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced,” a spokeswoman for Beyoncé said in an email. The word at issue is based on spastic diplegia, a form of “The word, not used intentionally in a harcerebral palsy that causes motor impairments in the legs or mful way, will be replaced,” a spokeswoarms. In June, Hannah Diviney, a writer and disability advoman for Beyoncé said in an email. cate from Australia, tweeted about Lizzo’s use of the word,

noting that to a person with cerebral palsy like her, spasticity referred to an “unending painful tightness” in her legs and urged the singer to “do better.” In response to the criticism from fans and activists, Lizzo changed her song, “Grrrls,” and wrote in a statement that “this is the result of me listening and taking action.” Diviney wrote in an op-ed, published in The Guardian on Monday, that her “heart sank” when she learned that Beyoncé’s new album had used the same word. “I thought we’d changed the music industry and started a global conversation about why ableist language — intentional or not — has no place in music,” Diviney wrote. “But I guess I was wrong, because now Beyoncé has gone and done exactly the same thing.” Disability right advocates have noted that the word has been more commonly used as a derogatory term in the United Kingdom compared to the United States. Scope, a group in Britain that campaigns for equality for people with disabilities, tweeted, “Disabled people’s experiences are not fodder for song lyrics,” and urged Beyoncé to follow Lizzo’s example.

David Warner, actor who played villains and more, dies at 80 By NEIL GENZLINGER

avid Warner, who started his career on the British stage, including playing Hamlet with the Royal Shakespeare Company when he was just 24, then gravitated toward film and television, accumulating more than 200 credits, including “The Omen,” “Time After Time,” “TRON,” “Titanic” and “Wallander,” died on July 24 in Northwest London. He was 80. His family said in a statement that the cause of death, at Denville Hall, a retirement home for actors, was “a cancer-related illness.” Although Warner played a wide variety of roles, he may have been most frequently identified with villainous ones. He was Jack the Ripper in “Time After Time” in 1979; two years later, in “Time Bandits,” his character was named simply Evil Genius. In “TRON,” the 1982 film in which Jeff Bridges’ character, Kevin Flynn, is transported into the innards of a computer, he was Flynn’s nemesis in both the real and the virtual world. “I’ve never been asked to play the happy, romantic lead,” Warner told the British newspaper The Independent in 2003. “So getting the girl is something that has never happened to me. I’ve worked with some extraordinarily beautiful women, but they never want to stay with me.” Not that he minded roles like the one in “TRON.” “It was fun to see it with an audience,” he told The New York Times in 1982, “hear them boo me and my gang.” Some actors have a relatively brief run of success, but Warner remained employable for an extraordinarily long time. In his first full decade in film and TV, the 1970s, he gathered more than two dozen credits; in the 1990s, more than 80. He had a face that seemed adaptable to almost any occasion, whether the role demanded anonymity or complexity. “Somehow he makes his face almost perfectly forgettable, like any one of a thousand faces seen in a bus station,” Vincent Canby wrote in the Times in 1968, assessing Warner’s portrayal of a soldier in a film drama called “The Borfors Gun,” intending the comment as a compliment. Some 35 years later, Emily Young, who directed him in the 2003 drama “Kiss of Life,” said basically the

opposite. “David has such a physical presence,” she told The Independent. “He seems to hold his life’s experiences in his frame and in his face.” It was director Peter Hall, at the time the artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, who elevated the youthful Warner to theatrical prominence, casting him in several high-profile roles, including the lead in “Hamlet” in 1965. Warner gave a decidedly different interpretation of the role than theatergoers were used to, and critics were divided. One fan was Mark Gardner of The Sunday Mercury of Birmingham, England. “This gangly, blinking, introverted young man hides his grief and insecurity under clown’s hat and khaki student’s habit,” Gardner wrote. “It is,” he added, “a Hamlet for this bewildered, postwar generation, frustrated, unhappy, sure of nothing.” The production ran in repertory for two years. In 2001, in an interview with the Times, Hall reflected on Warner’s performance. “It was most importantly the Hamlet which really did define the part for the ’60s,” he said. “It was the young people’s Hamlet. David’s gentleness and passivity jibed absolutely with flower power and all that. He was wonderful.’ The occasion for that 2001 article was, astonishingly, Warner’s American stage debut at age 60 in a production of George Bernard Shaw’s “Major Barbara” by the Roundabout Theater Company in New York. It was also his first stage performance of any kind since 1972. He had stopped doing stage work, he said, in part because of anxiety about performing live. “You see, I’m not a man of the theater,” he told the Times in 2001. “Not like McKellen and Jacobi and Ian Holm, and all those people who have worked from the bottom up, whom I admired when I was just beginning.” Instead, while Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi and Holm had become towering figures of the theater, Warner by that time had become known for seemingly never encountering a film or TV role he wouldn’t take. His résumé included moderately prestigious roles — he won an Emmy Award for his performance in the 1981 miniseries “Masada,”

about the Roman Empire’s siege of the Masada citadel in Israel — but also a stint as a Klingon chancellor in the “Star Trek” franchise. He joked about that reputation, recounting a conversation he had with Holm, an old colleague, after they’d wrapped filming on a TV version of “Uncle Vanya” in 1991. “I said to him, ‘What are you doing next?’” Warner told The Times. “And Ian, who was always in the best way choosy, said he was doing the Kafka film with Jeremy Irons. Then he said, ‘So what are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m doing a thing called “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze.”’” David Hattersley Warner was born on July 29, 1941, in Manchester, England. His parents, he told the Times in 1982, were not married and “kept stealing me from each other, so I moved around England a lot.” He trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and, as he told the story, he had a seven-line part with an experimental theater company when fate came along. “Peter Hall popped by to see the show,” he said, “which was his job, and then, about a year later, I got an invitation to audition for the Royal Shakespeare Company, and I did,

and I got in.” About the same time, he landed his first significant television role, in a British television play called “The Madhouse on Castle Street.” There was someone else who would soon be famous in that cast as well: a little-known American folk singer named Bob Dylan. The show was broadcast once, in early 1963, but the film was not preserved. It is said to have included one of Dylan’s earliest performances of “Blowin’ in the Wind.” That same year, Warner landed his first major film role, in “Tom Jones,” playing an (of course) unappealing character named Blifil. The title role in the comic drama “Morgan!” (1966) further solidified his film bona fides. Warner’s television work included roles in the miniseries “The War of the Roses” in the 1960s, “Holocaust” in the 1970s, “Hold the Back Page” in the 1980s, “The Choir” in the 1990s and “Conviction” in the 2000s. He had recurring roles in the series “Twin Peaks” in 1991 and “Wallander” and “Ripper Street,” among others, in this century. His family’s announcement said his survivors include his partner, Lisa Bowerman, and a son, Luke.

The actor David Warner in 1967. He accumulated more than 200 television and film credits, including “The Omen,” “Time After Time,” “TRON,” “Titanic” and “Wallander.”

Portrait of

controversy

By IRIS EDÉN SANTIAGO Special to The STAR

n engaging cover story in Vogue magazine has sparked a huge debate around the globe. Pictures of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy with

Photo: Annie Leibovitz (Vogue)

first lady Olena Zelenska have proven too controversial in a world apparently more comfortable with painful images of the country under siege. The photoshoot for Vogue took place in Ukraine and was coordinated and captured on film by American award-winning photographer Annie Leibovitz. The powerful photographs are published alongside Rachel Donadio’s article “Portrait of Bravery: Ukraine’s First Lady,

Olena Zelenska.” In the interview, Zelenska shares details about her struggles, the inevitable toll of the war and heartbreaking experiences in the war-torn country. As unorthodox as the interview may seem to some, it really isn’t. Not for a modern leader like Zelenskyy, used to the spotlight, camera friendly and constantly on screens all over the world. The Ukrainian president, who has been tweeting and posting on social media since the first day of the military conflict, is a savvy strategist who understands the power of keeping his country in mainstream media outlets. Especially in the Western Hemisphere. Nevertheless, the thought-provoking article has quickly become a subject for heated polemic. While supporters believe the story is a brilliant move to keep Ukraine in the news, others are up in arms. Detractors believe the article is frivolous, inappropriate and flat-out offensive. Some critics say it is a publicity stunt to romanticize the war while Ukrainians are grappling to survive. Local strategists speak up Respected professor and political strategist Jorge Colberg Toro confessed that at first he thought that a fashion shoot in the middle of a war zone where over 35,000 people have died -- including children and civilians -- didn’t seem wise or prudent. But after carefully reading the article, he believes it achieves two things. “It puts into context the reality of an ongoing war, not only the burden upon its people, but upon the first family of the country under siege,” Colberg Toro said. He also said that “letting the world know her [Zelenska’s] role as first lady of Ukraine as well as her role as spokesperson for her country before the international

The San Juan Daily Star community is smart.” “My initial reaction questioning the story was because the fashion magazine doesn’t usually report on international politics,” he said. “In that sense and after putting things in perspective, I believe it is a well written human interest story that, having sparked so much interest and controversy, accomplished its purpose. … A new audience is interested, is reading about it and learning the story.” Concluded Colberg Toro, “At the end, far from being offensive, [the story] enlightens us, and inspires meditation and solidarity with the people of Ukraine.” Gonzalo Córdova, an award-winning humanist, historian and former history professor at the University of Puerto Rico, called the Vogue cover story “a bold move, new school.” He said that utilizing a high-profile fashion magazine to tell their story is a phenomenal strategy and symbolizes a new age in international politics at a time when world leaders must access new ways to achieve visibility and immediacy. “This is not a fashion statement, this is a freedom statement, this is a cry for support,” Córdova said. “It may not be traditional, but it is very positive. They are fighting for their country; they need all the visibility they can get.” Córdova, who noted that keeping Ukraine in the news is vital for Zelenskyy’s war tactics, said the article gives the war a face. “It conveys a message of hope,” he said. “They are reaching higher levels; they need to tackle more financial sources, new opinion makers. Hardly frivolous, just genius, really.” For political consultant and strategist Pedro Rivera Casiano, the interview and photos published by Vogue are incredibly interesting and not incompatible with the crisis they are dealing with at home. “This is a message of confidence, of optimism,” he said. “They are struggling but keeping it together for the benefit of their country.” “What is at stake at this point is much more than their country, it’s their dignity as a people, their resilience, their patriotism,” Rivera Casiano said. “They are sharing their sense of commitment, love and family with the world. This [the cover story] is a bold and clever move, one that should be applauded, celebrated.” Fashion connoisseur, professor and designer Lisa Thon loves the spread in Vogue. She said both the president and first lady have been the face of the war and they clearly know how to get attention for the crisis in Ukraine. “But this is not a glamour shoot,” Thon said. “They made the best of an opportunity that came their way. [Vogue] is a platform read by millions of powerful people. It was well thought out and worked with respect for what it is, international exposition.” “Portrait of Bravery: Ukraine’s First Lady, Olena Zelenska” is available in Vogue’s digital edition. It will be published in the October edition of the print magazine.

Skillet Vegetable Potpie

Skillet Vegetable Potpie. Loaded with the season’s finest offerings, this pie comes together in one skillet and manages to be hearty yet light. By HETTY MCKINNON

oaded with the season’s finest offerings, this pie comes together in one skillet and manages to be hearty yet light. Leek provides a sweet and aromatic base, potatoes add body, fennel delivers an earthy note and asparagus imparts crisp freshness. (You could also use broccoli or green beans.) Sour cream in the base offers a slight tang and keeps the sauce light. Be sure to chop all of your vegetables around the same size to ensure they cook evenly and are tender by the time the pastry is golden. If you like, add other season-

al vegetables like peas or fava beans in the spring, or cauliflower or Brussels sprouts in the fall and winter. (Frozen vegetables work well, too.) When using storebought puff pastry, thaw it in the fridge overnight. If you don’t have an ovenproof 9- or 10-inch skillet, simply transfer the mixture to a similar-sized round or square baking dish. Yield: 4 to 6 servings Total time: 45 minutes 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 leek, finely chopped into 1/4-inch pieces

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 fennel bulb, cored and finely diced into 1/4-inch pieces (about 14 ounces) 2 medium Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes, peeled and finely diced into 1/4-inch pieces (about 14 ounces) 16 to 20 asparagus spears, trimmed and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces (about 12 ounces) 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) Black pepper 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling 1 cup vegetable stock 8 ounces sour cream 1 bunch of chives, finely sliced (about ½ cup) 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 cup grated Gruyère (about 3 ounces) 1 (14-ounce) sheet puff pastry, completely thawed 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon of water 1. Place an oven rack in the middle position, and heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and set aside. 2. Heat a 9- to 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium high. Add the olive oil, leek, garlic and fennel, and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened. Add the potatoes, asparagus and salt, then season with black pepper and stir. Scatter with the flour and give it a quick stir to coat well. Add the stock, sour cream, chives, Dijon mustard and Gruyère, and stir until well combined. Remove from heat. 3. On a lightly floured surface using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the pastry 1 to 2 inches wider than the skillet. Carefully place the puff pastry over the top of the skillet and trim any long edges, then, working quickly, tuck and fold in the edges of the pastry so it sits just inside the rim of the skillet, to create a rough border. Brush the pastry with egg wash and carefully score the top with a few slits to allow air to escape during baking. 4. Place the skillet on the baking sheet and transfer to the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden and bubbling around the edges. Let sit for 10 minutes before eating.

Should red wines be served cool?

By ERIC ASIMOV

ine is a joyous, never-ending education, as I relearn every month in Wine School. Even so, the lessons were humbling to me over the past few weeks as we examined how serving temperature affects red wines. I had suggested three bottles that I thought would all benefit from a healthy chill. The experience was not what I expected. Regular Wine School readers are all too familiar with my periodic reminder that most red wines are served too warm, along with my suggestion that, when planning to drink a red, the bottle should be refrigerated for 20 to 30 minutes or so before opening. I continue to stand by that good advice. But as this lesson shows, it turns out that the chill affects wines in more nuanced ways than my somewhat simple admonitions would have suggested. As I do every month, I proposed three bottles. They were: Broc Cellars North Coast Love Red 2021, Jean-Paul Brun Domaine des Terres Dorées Morgon 2020 and COS Terre Siciliane Frappato 2021. The usual procedure is for participants to drink the wines in a relaxed setting, with food and family or friends, paying attention to the wine and their reactions to it without being obsessive about describing aromas and flavors. Then we reconvene at the end of the month to discuss the experience, and to pick the next subject. In this instance, the instructions were slightly more complicated. I asked readers to try the chilled wines just out of the fridge, then over the course of a meal (I had recommended taking them out 20 minutes before eating) and, finally, at room temperature. The idea was to observe how the wine evolved

depending on its temperature. I expected that these wines would behave in roughly similar ways. Straight out of the fridge they each would be cold and refreshing but without much character. Cold kills nuance. Serving wine ice-cold will hide flaws in a bad bottle but also conceal any distinctive, winning qualities in a good one. After 20 or 30 minutes, I imagined the wines would become more accessible — refreshing in hot weather and starting to show their stuff. They would continue to improve throughout the meal until they began to approach room temperature, at which point the wines would become less refreshing, less lively and perhaps fall flat. Straight out of the refrigerator, the three wines were as expected: Frigid and flavorless. The only impression I had of these different bottles was the bracing, sluicing action of gulping a cold liquid. Drinking a good bottle that cold is pointless, whether red or white. After 20 to 30 minutes outside the fridge, which had been my recommendation for when to begin drinking, the wines were still much too cold, as several readers noted. “Twenty minutes might not be enough,” said Sherlock Lab of New York. “At least 45 to 55 minutes for these red wines to reach 55 degrees Fahrenheit. I take out white wines 60 minutes before.” Even so, one bottle, the Broc Love Red, was somewhat enjoyable, its flavors beginning to spread through the mouth. The other two were not accessible. The COS was simply reticent, and the Brun Morgon was astringent, actually unpleasant. Why was the Love Red different? It was a question of the winemaker’s intent. Broc Cellar’s Love wines are modestly priced, easygoing bottles meant for early consumption. They are not intended to be aged for years, simply to be opened and enjoyed. Marketers would call them pop ’n’ pour bottles. This intention partly determines how the wine is made. Chris Brockway, Broc’s proprietor, buys grapes from all over California, many of them obscure ones like valdiguié from old vineyards. The ’21 Love Red is a blend of 51% carignan, 25% syrah and 12% valdiguié, along with smaller amounts of mourvèdre, zinfandel, petite sirah and grenache. The grapes were fermented separately, then blended. The carignan and grenache underwent carbonic fermentation, a method popular in Beaujolais and among natural wine producers around the world. It’s often used to produce fruity, fragrant, easily enjoyable bottles that would fall under the category of carefree thirst quenchers. Indeed, as the wine warmed to what I considered lightly chilled, it grew more delicious. The flavors were of tart fruit and herbs, maybe a bit of anise, with a lingering bitterness that refreshed and cleaned the mouth. Broc, like each of these producers, relies on ambient yeasts for fermentation and does not manipulate the wines or add anything except, maybe, a small amount of sulfur dioxide, a stabilizer and antioxidant. Unlike the Broc, the other two bottles were not necessarily intended for immediate consumption. Yes, they are generally enjoyable young. But each of them possess the ability to age and improve for at least a few years.

They weren’t tannic, like young Bordeaux, Barolo or Burgundy, which are often made for the long haul, aging and improving for 20 years or more. But they had enough tannins that anything more than a light chill emphasized the astringency and effectively closed the wines down. Paradoxically, the Brun Morgon, though a Beaujolais, was not made with carbonic or semicarbonic maceration. Jean-Paul Brun, the proprietor, is part of a small but growing group of producers in Beaujolais who believe the character of the vineyard is better expressed through a conventional fermentation, which in Beaujolais is often referred to as Burgundian style. In addition, Brun allows the grapes, 100% gamay, to macerate with the skins for four to six weeks, giving the wine some structure before aging it in concrete vats or oak barrels. The Morgon, reticent after a half-hour out of the fridge, was much better with just the slightest chill, bright, lively and floral. It was very gently tannic, but that was enough for the wine, colder than a slight chill, to be adversely affected. Likewise, the intention behind the COS frappato, from the Vittoria region of Sicily, was more about conveying the character of the vineyard rather than making a simple thirst quencher. The wine buzzed with vibrant, sweet-and-bitter red fruit and earthy undertones with just a mild chill. Any colder, and the wine seemed simplified, just structured enough not to be enjoyable. A delicious thirst quencher like the Broc is more flexible in terms of serving temperature than even modestly structured reds like the other two bottles, to say nothing of more ageworthy wines. It requires a little more knowledge of particular bottles to determine which reds can withstand cooler temperatures. It’s a reminder that wine resists simplification. It’s a subject full of gray areas, subtleties and slight differences, which can be irritating to people who crave straightforward, easy solutions. I could see this dynamic in several of the comments from readers. VSB of San Francisco said the Broc was at its best an hour out of the fridge. But for Dan Barron of New York, who drank a Lambrusco, 50 minutes out of the fridge left the wine feeling too warm. One reader, Robert of Chicago, proposed the 20-minute rule: “Chill reds 20 minutes in fridge before opening. Take whites out of fridge 20 minutes before opening.” I’m not sure, after my experience, that sort of one-sizefits-all approach will work. As Euphemia Thompson of North Castle, New York, pointed out, “Its success rides on how cold your fridge is.” Several readers proposed putting ice cubes in wine. Though some respected wine experts have endorsed this approach, I’m not a fan as the ice melts and dilutes the wine. On the other hand, I’m not a fan of ice cubes in anything. Better the refrigerator. Just don’t leave it in there too long. Or at least I wouldn’t. We all have different priorities. If cold red is yours, by all means stick it in the fridge for hours or add those ice cubes. People, like bottles, each have their perfect temperatures.

Migraine treatment has come a long way By MELINDA WENNER MOYER

f you don’t suffer from migraine headaches, you probably know at least one person who does. Nearly 40 million Americans get them — 28 million of them women and girls — making migraine the second most disabling condition in the world after low back pain. Several studies have found that migraine became more frequent during the pandemic, too. I get migraine headaches, but thankfully they’re more bizarre than excruciating. Every few weeks, ocular migraine clouds my vision with strange zigzagging lights for a half-hour; and once or twice a year I get attacks that cause temporary memory loss. (One came on while I was grocery shopping, and I couldn’t remember what month or year it was, what I was there to buy or how old my kids were.) Despite its ubiquity, research on migraine has long been underfunded. The National Institutes of Health spent only $40 million on migraine research in 2021; by comparison, it spent $218 million researching epilepsy, which afflicts one-twelfth as many Americans. Why is this devastating condition so woefully understudied? “It’s a woman’s disease,” explained Dr. Robert Cowan, a neurologist and a former director of the Stanford Headache Program. In other words, he said, sexism almost certainly plays a role in medicine’s apathy toward the condition. The good news is that over the past several years, the medical establishment has become more interested in the issue, and a handful of new treatments for migraine have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Some of them are quite promising. Here’s what migraine sufferers should know about today’s treatment landscape. Recognize the symptoms of migraine and get a diagnosis. Far too many Americans with migraine suffer in silence. “Fewer than 30% of people suffering with migraine seek medical advice, and only some of those patients will receive an appropriate migraine treatment,” said Dr. Santiago Mazuera, a neurologist at the Sandra and Malcolm Berman Brain & Spine Institute in Baltimore. Migraine is a neurological disorder and it differs from garden-variety headaches. People are likely to suffer from migraine if they have had at least five headache attacks in their lives, each lasting between four and 72 hours, and if the pain fulfills two out of these four criteria: It

This ‘woman’s disease’ doesn’t get a lot of research funding, but the medical establishment has made strides in developing new drugs and devices to combat migraine over the last five years. throbs or pulsates; it is on one side of the head; it is moderate to severe; it worsens with activity. Also, these attacks must cause either nausea or sensitivity to light and sound. If you think you might have migraine, see your primary care practitioner, Mazuera suggested. “There is better understanding of migraine within the primary care community in recent years and more knowledge about the newer treatments,” he said. But if you’re not getting the help you need, you might want to see a headache specialist or neurologist, said Dr. Seniha Ozudogru, a neurologist at Penn Medicine. People with migraine are also at increased risk for other disorders, including heart disease, stroke, epilepsy, anxiety and depression. Try lifestyle changes and first-line treatments to start. If you have migraine, consider keeping a headache diary, or downloading a migraine app, to identify possible triggers. Women, for instance, often have migraine pain right before their period; it can be treated in a variety of ways, including with an estrogen patch, Cowan said. Other common migraine triggers include stress, too much or too little sleep, caffeine, alcohol, weather changes, certain foods, dehydration, light and particular smells, according to the American Migraine Foundation. Often, triggers are partial and additive: You might not get a migraine attack after drinking one glass of red wine, but a glass of red wine and a bad night’s sleep might do it, Cowan said. A headache diary can also help you identify

your triggers and figure out if you have chronic migraine, which is defined as having headaches on 15 or more days per month for more than three months, and when at least eight of those headaches have migraine-like features. Based on your symptoms and their frequency, your doctor may recommend a preventive migraine treatment to stop the headaches from starting. These types of medicines include antidepressants like amitriptyline, blood pressure medications such as propranolol and epilepsy drugs including valproate, Cowan said. The problem with these drugs is that often “they have nasty side effects,” Cowan said, so they aren’t always recommended or tolerated. I briefly took propranolol to control my migraines, but every time I exercised, I felt lightheaded and faint. If you can’t get relief, discuss new treatments with your doctor. Over the past five years, a handful of new drugs and devices have been approved for prevention and acute treatment of migraine. Many of these drugs block the activity of a pain-related protein called CGRP, Ozudogru explained. These include, for migraine prevention, monoclonal antibodies that are periodically injected or administered intravenously. There are also pills, called gepants and ditans (with brand names like Nurtec ODT, Ubrelvy and Reyvow) that can be taken at the onset of migraine to block the activity of CGRP. Rimegepant (Nurtec ODT) has been approved by the FDA to both prevent and treat migraine, Ozu-

dogru said, which is notable because most drugs do only one or the other. These drugs don’t seem to have significant side effects, Cowan said — though they can cause mild nausea — yet they aren’t usually prescribed until after a person has tried several first-line treatments. That’s in large part because the new drugs are expensive, he said. Ozudogru said some doctors are also cautious about trying the latest treatments because they are so new, and nobody can say how safe they are over the long term. Among other things, CGRP helps the body heal from strokes, so drugs that inhibit CGRP activity might hinder recovery in someone who has a stroke, she said. Another medication that has been approved to treat chronic migraine in particular is the cosmetic drug Botox. It is injected into areas around the head and neck and is thought to work by blocking chemicals that carry pain signals to the brain. “I like Botox a lot,” Cowan said. But, he added, “not everybody can tolerate being stabbed in the head 31 times, even with a tiny needle.” Usually, too, Botox treatment is repeated every 12 weeks. Several medical devices have also been approved in recent years to manage migraine. “These have good data,” Cowan said, and they are ideal for people who can’t tolerate medicines or are pregnant. Gammacore, a handheld device, targets the vagus nerve in the neck. Nerivio, a smartphone-controlled device worn on the arm, uses electrical signals to disrupt pain pathways. Cefaly stimulates the trigeminal nerve on the forehead, and Relivion stimulates the trigeminal and occipital nerves. Although these newer devices and treatments are promising, many patients struggle to get them covered by health insurance, Mazuera said. And they can be pricey: The list price for some monoclonal antibodies is more than $650 per monthly injection, and the Cefaly device costs $379. However, the Coalition for Headache and Migraine Patients, or CHAMP, has guides available to help patients navigate treatment costs using pharmaceutical company savings cards and financial assistance plans; and the Patient Advocate Foundation has resources available for handling insurance denials and appeals, among other things. Migraine is debilitating, and it can be quite difficult to treat. But patients shouldn’t lose hope, Ozudogru said.

Bill Russell’s words were worth the wait By HARVEY ARATON

are was the working person around NBA arenas these past few decades who never had an encounter with the majestic Bill Russell. On occasion, mostly a special one, he was an intimidating presence walking tall and transcendent, in the manner of a man who had invented the game. In the dynastic measure by which we often relate to basketball, from Boston to Los Angeles to Chicago to Golden State, he actually did. Russell’s death at 88 on Sunday predictably evoked relished memories of meeting the most prolific instigator of championships in the history of American team sports. It is an indisputable fact that time with Russell was not generously dispensed. When it was, only the most hardheaded among us wasn’t better for it. I was a terrified young reporter for The New York Post in the late 1970s when my editor ordered me to “get Russell” for an assigned story. I found him in the media dining area at the old Spectrum arena in Philadelphia on a Sunday afternoon before a game he was working as network analyst. As I hopelessly stammered through my introduction, Russell looked up from a plate of food and said nothing. Seconds felt like hours until Billy Cunningham, the 76ers coach, leaned over and came to my rescue. “He’s from Vecsey’s paper,” Cunningham told Russell, referring to Peter Vecsey, the widely known NBA columnist. This apparently was a useful reference in what was a far more insular NBA environment. Russell nodded and said, “Wait outside for me.” So I parked myself in the first row of seats behind the broadcast table. Ten minutes became 20, then 30, then 60 after Russell took a seat, donned his headset for microphone checks and shuffled through voluminous game notes and stats. I was literally sweating, and figuratively steaming. Finally, Russell summoned me, shook my hand and said, “Thank you for waiting and respecting my work.” Lesson learned: Patience may be the most well-cited virtue, but in the interests of professional achievement, so is preparation. Fast forward to a September 2007 afternoon in a Westchester County suburb of New York, where Russell was speaking to assembled NBA rookies at the league’s transition program. I listened with fascination as Joakim Noah, a player of French, Swedish

Bill Russell, the Boston Celtics great who died on Sunday, often spoke about social justice — and caution. and Cameroonian descent, asked Russell if he felt underappreciated in racially polarized Boston despite winning 11 titles in 13 seasons, from 1957 through 1969. “Quite true,” Russell responded in his gravelly voiced, meditative manner. But he elaborated by relaying advice his father had given him as a youth about people who have “these little red wagons that get pulled around and that it’s got nothing to do with me” — meaning that he should not worry about how other people felt about him. Afterward, I asked Russell how that answer squared with his outspokenness and activism on matters of race and social justice, including his participation in the socalled 1967 Cleveland summit of prominent Black athletes in support of Muhammad Ali following his refusal to be drafted into the U.S. Army. He reminded me that he had been invited to address the rookie class at large, and that some of the newcomers were not African American. Some were not even American. Russell’s message had been tailored to universal temptation. “I tell all the kids — rich, poor, Black, white — that you must be your own counsel,” he told me. “We understand that we don’t always want to do the right thing, but what they have to ask themselves is, ‘Am I willing to deal with the consequences?’” Such contextual awareness sounded fa-

miliar to Len Elmore, the former pro center whom I have known since he finished his playing career with the New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks before attending Harvard Law School. At Harvard, Elmore happened to befriend Russell’s daughter, Karen. (In 1987, Karen Russell wrote in The New York Times about the frightening, haunting harassment her father and family were subjected to in the Boston area.) “I had met him a few times in passing and I have a couple videos of my games he was calling, where he described me as ‘well traveled,’” Elmore said with a chuckle when I called him upon hearing of Russell’s passing. “He obviously had a big impact on me, as a center, always talking about blocking the shot but keeping it inbounds, things like that. And of course, off the court, too, with his activism during the civil rights era.” But it was in law school that Elmore said he actually got to talk to Russell about athlete activism, a subject Elmore has in recent years been teaching at Columbia University. “It wasn’t like he tried to impress you with big words,” Elmore said. “But what always came across was his wisdom, his ability to conceptualize, to prioritize, to understand time and place. I remember him telling me that by going to law school, I could be part of a generation that could build off what his generation had started, and effect change in a very different way.”

For all the racism Russell and his Black teammates endured in Boston, and the disparities in how white and Black Celtics were paid and in some cases treated by an organization fronted by Red Auerbach, Russell was careful never to implicate the Celtics’ patriarch. For 10 years, Russell starred under Auerbach, who then made him the league’s first Black coach upon stepping away from the bench in 1966. Which leads me to my last Russell engagement, in May 2009, in a Manhattan hotel lounge while he was promoting a book, “Red and Me: My Coach, My Lifelong Friend,” published three years after Auerbach’s death. In the book, Russell wrote that he and Auerbach had seldom socialized or delved into personal or social issues. They were instead bound by basketball, by team, which also was, in effect, family. The patriarch was stubborn, set in his ways, Russell said. Russell’s own willful ways, shaped by a place in Boston and in America which Auerbach could never fully understand, formed the basis of their mutual respect. “We were so alike that way,” said Russell, who often made the point that he played for the Celtics, not Boston. But the team’s success always came first. That day in Manhattan, Russell shared some final coaching he’d gotten during his last visit with Auerbach, just as he took his leave. “Listen, Russ, this is something important,” Auerbach told him. “When you get old, don’t fall. Because that’s the start of the end. So remember: Don’t fall!” Russell, already 75, obviously knew that frailty would eventually visit him, too. Near the end of our interview, he admitted that he’d written the book because, “I also have to be mindful of my own mortality.” Those words barely spoken, he cut loose one of his trademark boisterous cackles. Athletic greatness fades. Team dynasties fold. But Bill Russell’s presence, deep into old age, didn’t so much as flicker. While the contemporary best-ever debate is laser focused on Air Jordan versus King James, Russell’s contextualization of the argument only required flashing the ring he wore that 2007 day at the rookie transition program — a gift from the NBA commissioner at the time, David Stern, commemorating all 11 of Russell’s titles. That remains the truest measure of superstar affirmation within a team sport. It’s also the one all but guaranteed never to fall.

The trading deadline is where good teams get great By TYLER KEPNER

he best teams need to do the most work at the baseball trading deadline. This would seem counterintuitive, because the best teams tend to have the fewest needs. But if a team is really good, the hardest part is over: You know you’ll be playing in October. Trades are all about boosting your odds once you get there. “Teams are trying to make a move that will make an impact,” New York Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman said through an interpreter Monday, recalling his trade to the Chicago Cubs in 2016. “When I got there — where the team was and where the team was heading — they felt they had a real shot at winning.” The Cubs had the best record in baseball when they acquired Chapman in a trade with the Yankees. They estimated that Chapman would raise their chances of winning the World Series by 5% — a big number for a single player, actually. With Chapman pitching in all but one of their postseason victories, the Cubs won it all. The Yankees of 2022 know where they are and know where they are headed. They reached the trading deadline Tuesday at 6 p.m. with the best record in the American League (70-34) and four new players to help when it matters most. On Monday they made two deals, acquiring starter Frankie Montas and reliever Lou Trivino from the Oakland Athletics and reliever Scott Effross from the Chicago Cubs. Last week, they got left fielder Andrew Benintendi from the Kansas City Royals. In all, the Yankees gave up eight prospects, including seven pitchers. Only one, J.P. Sears, has played in the majors. “You can always improve,” said Aaron Judge, whose 43rd homer helped the Yankees to a 7-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night. “I don’t think this team is satisfied with what we’ve done so far. We’ve gotten out to a great start, but we kind of, as a team, did our part — and the front office is doing their part now.” Two of the pitchers who general manager Brian Cashman sent to Oakland ranked among the Yankees’ top 10 prospects, according to MLB.com — Ken Waldichuk (fifth) and Luis Medina (10th). Montas, though, is under team control through next season and gives the Yankees the kind of top-level starter who could make an outsize impact in a postseason series. “He’s got the full arsenal and the

Last week the Yankees got left fielder Andrew Benintendi, a solid defensive player with plate discipline who hits for contact, from the Kansas City Royals. weapons and the stuff that you look for in top-of-the-rotation caliber pitchers,” manager Aaron Boone said. “And he’s gone out and proved that the last couple of years, that he is that kind of caliber of pitcher.” The right-handed Montas, 29, served an 80-game suspension in 2019 after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug. He struggled the next year but has a 3.30 ERA in 51 starts across the last two seasons, with a mix of power pitches (96 mph fastball, plus a slider and splitter) that make him effective against both left- and right-handers. Effross, 28, is not a hard thrower but has a similar assortment of pitches to handle hitters from either side. As a righthanded sidearmer with a fastball, slider and change-up, he is the kind of reliever who tends to get a lot of work in the modern, bullpen-heavy postseason. “In a perfect world, you want to create versatility — whether it’s different looks, whether it’s guys that are really adept at getting right-handed hitters for certain

parts of the order, whether it’s guys that are really adept at getting lefties, whether it’s a mix of that,” Boone said. “Sometimes different angles and different kind of stuff is beneficial. We think Scott does a lot of that.” Effross, who has a 2.66 ERA in 44 innings, has been much more effective this season than Trivino, who has a 6.47 ERA in 32 innings. But the Yankees attribute much of that to bad luck, and Trivino is averaging 12.7 strikeouts per nine innings — a better strikeout rate than any of his new teammates. Add those three arms to Benintendi — a solid left fielder with plate discipline who hits for contact — and a pattern emerges. These are players with the kinds of skills to make a difference in short series against good teams. “You can’t have too much depth, especially these next two months and then into October,” said first baseman Anthony Rizzo, who hit a three-run homer in the first inning Monday. “I think it’s a big tribute to us in this clubhouse, since spring

training, in setting the tone. When the front office comes and makes big moves like this, it just kind of backs us up.” There are some reasons for concern. Montas had shoulder inflammation in early July and needed a cortisone injection; he rested for 2 1/2 weeks and has made two starts since, for three innings and five innings. The Yankees have another starter, Luis Severino, who is out with a shoulder issue of his own. He played catch Monday, which is encouraging but a long way from a game. “He gave me the thumbs-up,” Boone said. “Good start to the throwing progression.” Even so, the Yankees placed Severino on the 60-day injured list Monday, which means he cannot be activated until midSeptember. Now they have his replacement, with bullpen reinforcements and a new left fielder, too. It is an impressive haul for a team seeking its first championship since 2009 — a team that needed to be aggressive and acted that way.

Deshaun Watson’s suspension will test the NFL’s support for women By KURT STREETER

ix games off. That’s the suspension. That’s it. That was the ruling handed down by retired federal Judge Sue L. Robinson earlier this week after she reviewed arguments for and against punishing Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. Robinson, the mediator who oversaw Watson’s hearing, decided against the NFL’s recommendation that Watson receive at least a year’s suspension after he was accused by more than two dozen women of sexual misconduct during massage treatments. Reviewing the results of the league’s 15-month investigation of Watson, she deemed his conduct “predatory” and “egregious.” The clock now ticks on the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell. What will be the league’s next move in the sordid spectacle that is the Deshaun Watson case? The NFL has until Thursday morning to appeal. Goodell can opt for a longer suspension, a decision the union and Watson would most likely challenge in federal court. He can also levy a fine that would claw back some of the nearly $45 million Watson got from the Browns as a signing bonus. But if the NFL simply ducks and gives up without a fight, that’ll say everything about how it views women and how seriously it takes their stories. And for all of you Watson apologists out there: Robinson agreed without reservation that Watson had done wrong. He exposed himself. He purposely touched the women repeatedly with his penis. Here’s a sampling of her conclusions: “The NFL has carried its burden to prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that Mr. Watson engaged in sexual assault (as defined by the NFL)” against four therapists who were identified in the league’s report. “The NFL has carried its burden to prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that Mr. Watson’s conduct posed a genuine danger to the safety and wellbeing of another person.” “Mr. Watson knew such sexualized contact was unwanted.” “Mr. Watson had a reckless disregard

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson participated in training camp last week as an arbitrator weighed whether he violated the N.F.L.’s personal conduct policy. for the consequences of his conduct, which I find equivalent to intentional conduct.” And yet, Robinson said she was limited. She could have given out a much harsher penalty on Monday, but she refused to set precedent. Instead, she leaned on the NFL’s history of leniency. The most common discipline for “domestic or gendered violence and sexual acts is a six-game suspension,” Robinson noted. She went on to list the other suspensions of players, including one who had to sit for 10 games “for multiple incidents of domestic violence for which the player pleaded guilty to battery.” Leaning on precedent is understandable, even laudable. But this decision was not made in a court of law. The NFL does not have to accept Robinson’s recommendation, especially not in a case in which the player’s contract has been structured, as Watson’s was, to avoid a significant financial hit for a suspension. When he signed a fully guaranteed $230 million contract with the Browns in March, the team agreed to a base salary of $1 million, meaning Watson will lose just over $300,000 in game checks during his six-game suspension. The league is a private entity. It can mete out punishment as it deems fit. If Watson, his lawyer and the players’ asso-

ciation have a problem with it, they can sue. Let them go right ahead and keep the accusations against Watson front and center in the public eye. Harassment of women is hardly novel in the NFL, which too often seems to stand for the Neanderthal Football League. I wrote as much last week when Congress — not the league — tried to make Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder account for his team’s knuckle-dragging culture and misdeeds. The Washington Post reported that Snyder settled a sexual misconduct claim that stemmed from an incident in 2009. The NFL’s investigation of Watson lasted 15 months. These drawn-out inquiries spiral into theater of the absurd only because the league and its commissioner have not established precedents that would allow for decisive action — the kind that would send a clear signal that the NFL does not tolerate mistreatment of women. As the Watson decision stands now, at six games with no fine, nobody wins. Not the women, whose lawyer described the suspension as “a slap in the face.” Not the league, whose personal conduct policy purports to “define, address and sanction” players whose actions are detrimental to the NFL’s image.

Not the Browns, a franchise that has proved it would shred its dignity and sell its soul for a chance at finally becoming a Super Bowl contender. Not Watson, who, despite being mobbed by Browns fans at training camp, will be forever mentioned as one of the league’s pariahs, an example of its misogynist culture. Not victims of sexual violence and domestic abuse or their advocates. “We brace ourselves for this kind of disappointment,” Sondra Miller, president of the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center, said in an interview Monday. “It’s a common feeling that offenders are not held accountable for their actions. So, that is part of what we are feeling today.” Who else? Certainly not the women who came forward with stories of being abused by what Robinson called “sexualized behavior.” Twenty-four women alleged in lawsuits that Watson engaged in sexually coercive and lewd behavior during massages that spanned from the fall of 2019 to March 2021. Watson was not charged in criminal court and settled with all but one of his accusers. That’s not an uncommon outcome given how hard it is to litigate cases of sexual misconduct, which often occur in private and come down to the conflicting accounts of the two people involved. But when the NFL toughened its personal conduct policy in 2014, in response to backlash over the Ray Rice discipline, Goodell wrote that the league held itself to “a higher standard.” To make good on that statement, common sense must prevail. Women must be believed, especially when this many come forward with stories of harassment and abuse. Robinson makes it clear that she believes sexual misconduct took place, but she was hampered by the league’s past when it came to the punishment. The NFL has been way off the mark, far too lenient regarding policing itself and meting out penalties that back up its talk on women. It’s time to start correcting the course. The league and its commissioner must stand against Monday’s ruling and prepare for a fight.
