CLEVELAND — The day
before Republicans were to
open a convention meant to
serve as a fresh opportunity
to redefine Donald Trump,
organizers had to delay their
long-awaited preview of the
gathering so as not to collide
with President Obama’s remarks to the nation about
yet another shocking act of
violence.
This time it was in Baton
Rouge, La., where three
police officers were shot
dead Sunday morning.

When the GOP briefing began, the first topic was
Baton Rouge.
Across Cleveland, worries about violence led the
head of the local police union
to ask Ohio Gov. John Kasich to rescind the right of
gun owners to openly carry
weapons near the convention areas. Kasich said that
under state law, he did not
have the power to limit
firearms, which were in evidence Sunday.
Convention organizers,
who had hoped to use the
afternoon briefing to strike
an optimistic tone, were
forced to reassure attendees
Sunday that the area outside the convention arena —
inside is the one place guns
will not be allowed — would
be safe.

BATON ROUGE, La. —
An Iraq war veteran identified by law enforcement as a
“black separatist” fatally
shot three police officers and
wounded three others here
Sunday, opening another
chapter in the racial unrest
that has swept some cities
and exposed the vulnerability of police.
The gunman, wearing
black and carrying an assault rifle, shot the unsuspecting officers along a road
that has been the scene of
emotional protests sparked
by the police shooting less
than two weeks ago of a 37year-old African American
man selling CDs outside a local business.
Baton Rouge has been
engulfed in racial protests
since that shooting, and
Sunday’s events plunged the
Louisiana capital into further turmoil — even as it was
revealed that at least one of
the dead officers, Montrell
Jackson, the 32-year-old father of a 4-month-old son,
was black.

WHY DO people stick with their political party? “Even when they’re not thrilled by their own side, they’re

This summer of discontent seems a perfectly awful
time to hold a national
political convention.
The two presumptive
White House nominees,
Donald Trump and Hillary
Clinton, have record-high
disapproval ratings. Polls
show their respective
parties are held in similarly
low regard.
Yet come November, as
surely as summer turns to
fall, the overwhelmingly
majority of voters — probably 80% or more — will cast
ballots for the two candidates marching beneath
their respective party banners.
Donald Trump or Donald Doe, it wouldn’t matter
whom Republicans nominate this week in Cleveland.
The same goes for Hillary
Clinton and the Democratic
convention next week in
Philadelphia. Anyone with
the “R” or “D” beside his or
her name can count on the
overwhelming support of
fellow partisans.
Indeed, for all the talk of
fading political allegiances,
about the two major parties
dying off, about the rise of
independent voters, party
labels are still the single
best predictor of voting
behavior. They telegraph
how an individual will cast a
ballot far better than age,
income, gender, education,
sexual orientation, or
whether someone lives in a
big city, the suburbs or the
countryside.
“No matter what the race
looks like, you’ve got about 2
out of 3 voters already predestined as soon as the
nominees come out of their
conventions,” said Peter
Hart, a Democratic strategist who has been sampling
voter opinion for decades.
The level of party loyalty
rises from there.
About 9 in 10 Democrats
voted for President Obama
in his two White House
campaigns, and 90% or
more of Republicans backed
the GOP nominee in both
contests. Trump may struggle to achieve that level of
support, given widespread
disaffection within his party,
but he undoubtedly will win
the vast majority of Republican votes.
Part of the reason is
habit. Once individuals
form their political views,
usually sometime in their
20s and often based on how
their parents voted, they
tend to stick with that party
and support its candidates
for the rest of their life.
Part of it is human nature; we tend toward likeminded individuals, and
once we find them we stick
together, warts and all.
(When it comes to selfdescribed independents,
most in fact habitually vote
for one party or the other,
though they prefer not to
think of themselves as partisan.)
A great deal of it owes to
the country’s political polarization and how the two
major parties are increasingly defined by their opposition to each other, which
influences the way voters
think and behave.
“Even when they’re not
thrilled by their own side,
they’re much less thrilled by
the other side,” said Gary
Jacobson, a UC San Diego
political scientist who has
long studied Washington’s
partisan divide.
The sentiment is
articulated in the oft-heard
statement from people who
can’t stand Trump but
consider Clinton even
worse. Or vice versa.
The lesser-evil attitude is
reflected in a spring survey
taken by the Pew Research
Center.
Among Republicans,
nearly 7 in 10 said a major
reason they identify with
the GOP is that “the Democratic Party’s policies are
harmful to the country,” and
fewer than two-thirds said it
was because they believed
Republican policies helped
the country.
Democrats were more
positive. Just about 7 in 10
said a major reason for their
party affiliation was because they thought Democratic policies helped the
country. But more than 6 in
10 still cited negative feelings
toward the GOP as one of
their reasons for being a
Democrat.
“What was a line in the
sand” between the parties
“has become a chasm,” said
Mark Mellman, a veteran
Democratic pollster. “That’s
increased animosity and
negative feelings but also
increased loyalty to one’s
own group.”
As partisan divisions
have deepened, the old
notion that seeing is believing has been inverted.
In 2013, Mellman and
Republican pollster Whit
Ayres conducted a survey
for USA Today and the
Bipartisan Policy Center in
which respondents were
presented with two supposedly different education
plans.
The exact same elements were presented with
identical wording, but as
soon as one was labeled the
Democratic or Republican
plan, support and opposition rose or fell accordingly.
Democrats who backed the
Democratic plan rejected
the Republican plan, and
vice versa.
The importance of issues
in driving voter behavior
may be overrated anyway.
Donald Green, who
teaches political science at
Columbia University, has
extensively researched
partisan attachments and
suggested that most voters
aren’t like politicians, political consultants or, for that
matter, political journalists.
“The ordinary person
doesn’t have a kind of wellarticulated ideological
vantage point,” he said.
Rather, he said, they rely
on notions — some going
back decades — of which
party is, say, friendlier to
business or working-class
people, which attracts environmentalists, or Christian
conservatives, or blacks, or
Southerners, and then
gravitate where they feel
they best fit in.
“What they know about
the parties often has less to
do with a detailed assessment of a platform vis-a-vis
issues, and more about the
sense of social stereotypes
that go with the parties,”
Green said.
Trump, of course, has
scrambled many of the
conceptions surrounding
the GOP, not least by challenging its orthodoxy on
free trade and the party’s
chummy relationship with
Wall Street.
But come election day,
reflexive party loyalty is
likely to overpower any
doubts or concerns the
overwhelming majority of
Republican faithful have
about their nominee, just as
the overwhelming majority
of Democratic faithful will
snap into line and rally
behind Clinton.
Forget all the lofty talk of
promise and principles
flowing from the convention
podiums. The reason, suggested Thomas Mann, a
political scholar at the
Brookings Institution, is
downright primitive.
“It’s much more tribal,”
he said, “than philosophical.”

THE WORLD
Attacker’s hometown in shock
In Tunisia, the father
of the man who killed
84 in Nice says his son
had mental problems
and was not religious.
By Simon Speakman
Cordall
MSAKEN, Tunisia — In
this nondescript Tunisian
suburb, friends and family
members of the man who
drove a truck into a crowd of
French revelers are at a loss
to explain how one of their
own could have been responsible for a deadly attack
claimed by Islamic State.
“We are not Daesh! We
are not Daesh! You must
write that,” neighbor Mohammed Dahmoul shouted
at reporters outside the
family home, using the Arabic acronym for the militant group.
Msaken, an affluent community about six miles from
the coastal resort city of
Sousse, is not known as a
hotbed of extremism. News
that Mohamed Lahouaiej
Bouhlel,
a
31-year-old
Tunisian emigre, had been
identified as the perpetrator
of Thursday’s carnage in
Nice came as a shock.
The people here are more
interested in socializing and
making money than in remodeling the world according to a bloodily fundamentalist interpretation of Islam, said a government official who asked to be
identified only as Mehjed,
because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
The suburb has wide
boulevards and cafes accented in chrome. Many cars
carry the number 06 license
plates of Alpes-Maritimes,
an indication of the number
of locals who have found
work in the French region to
which Nice belongs.
Those who knew Bouhlel
say he showed no signs of
radicalization before he left
for France around 2005.
“He was a normal boy,
happy,” said Hedi Garmoul,
who was among a group of
friends and neighbors gathered Saturday at the family
home, a two-story, white
stucco house set amid a
maze of narrow streets.
“For his father, he was a
treasure, but everything
changed when he went to
France.”
Bouhlel’s father, Mohamed Mondher Lahouaiej
Bouhlel, described a troubled young man, “always
alone, always depressed,”
but one with “no connection
with religion.”
“He did not go to prayer;

he did not fast; he drank
alcohol; he even took drugs,”
the father told Agence
France-Presse news agency.
Between 2002 and 2004,
Bouhlel suffered a mental
breakdown that required
medical treatment.
“He screamed, he broke
everything he found in front
of him,” the father said.
After he recovered, the
young man moved to
France, where the family
hoped he would make a fresh
start.
He found work as a
delivery-truck driver and
married a Franco-Tunisian
woman, with whom he had
three children.
But he was not on good
terms with the woman, according to the father. The
French authorities said
there were charges of
domestic violence.
It remains unclear what,
if any, ties Bouhlel had to the
militants blamed for a series
of high-profile attacks in Europe and elsewhere around
the world. A news agency affiliated with the group
claimed
Saturday
that
Bouhlel was a “soldier” of Islamic State, but there is no
evidence that it directed
NEIGHBORS gather outside the family home of Bouhlel. Those who knew him
said he showed no signs of radicalization before he left for France around 2005.
Thursday’s attack.
Before last week, Bouhlel
was not known to have any
links to terrorist groups and
was not on the radar of the
French intelligence services.
“We know now that the
killer was radicalized very
quickly,” the French prime
minister, Manuel Valls, told
reporters Saturday.
Msaken has reason to resent the association. It was
near Sousse that Seifeddine
Rezgui, a militant from the
Tunisian interior, killed
dozens of tourists on a beach
in June 2015, dealing a blow
to the region’s thriving tourism industry.
After Thursday’s bloodshed, many here worry that
there will be a backlash
against the large North
African community in Nice
and other French Riviera
cities.
Ben
Mohamed
Ben
Abdeljalil, who was drinking
coffee with friends at one of
Msaken’s popular cafes Saturday, is afraid for the safety
of a brother in Nice.
“This will make it bad,”
he said. “This will make it
very bad.”
Still, those gathered outside the family home insist
they will stand by the Bouhlels.
“We are a close neighborhood. Everyone knows everyone. We are a family,” said
Garmoul, gesturing toward
the surrounding streets before drawing the fingers of
each hand together.
“We will support the
family — but not what their
son did.”

Before attack, a text
for ‘more weapons’
Assailant’s request
hints at contact with
local Islamic radicals.
By Erik Kirschbaum
NICE, France — French
police arrested two more
suspects Sunday in connection with a truck attack that
killed 84 people in this
southern French resort,
amid new reports that the 31year-old assailant sent a
mysterious text message
asking for “more weapons”
just before the rampage.
French prosecutors in
Paris said the arrests of a
man and woman in Nice
raised to seven the number
of people detained and questioned after Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove a 19ton truck at high speed
through a crowd along the
city’s packed seaside promenade.
After zigzagging along
the road and sidewalk in an
apparent effort to run over
as many people as possible,
he eventually was shot to
death by police.
Authorities at first believed Bouhlel, a deliveryman and father of
three who was not on any
terrorist watch lists, probably was acting alone.
But French Prime Minister Manuel Valls suggested
Sunday that the driver
might have had accomplices. He said investigators
piecing together the events
leading up to the attack
think Bouhlel recently may
have become radicalized
with jihadist ideology.
Those who knew him
have said he was not
particularly religious. Ignoring Muslim codes of conduct, he was known to drink
and smoke marijuana, did
not attend mosque and
often wore shorts.
“We now know that the
killer was radicalized very
quickly,” Valls told the newspaper Journal du Dimanche
on Sunday. Interior Minister
Bernard Cazeneuve said
Bouhlel began attending a
mosque in April.
Islamic State issued an
indirect claim of responsibility for the attack two days
later, on Saturday, saying
Bouhlel was a “soldier,”
though French officials have
not established any direct
connection between him
and the militant group.
Investigators examining
the records of Bouhlel’s cell-
phone, which was found in
the cabin of the truck he was
driving, have found evidence
that he may have had contact with known Islamic
radicals in his neighborhood
in Nice.
According to French TV
station BMF, they also found
a cryptic text message —
sent just minutes before he
plowed the truck into the
crowd — that read, “Bring
more weapons, bring five of
them to C.”
The attack in the French
Riviera, in France’s fifth
largest city, came on the
country’s Bastille Day national holiday at the height
of tourist season.
It was the third major act
of terrorism in France in the
last 18 months, after an assault on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a kosher grocery store in January 2015 that killed 20 people
and a series of attacks in
Paris in November that
killed 130.
Police studying closedcircuit TV images in Nice
also have spotted Bouhlel at
the seafront Promenade des
Anglais twice in the two days
before Thursday’s attack,
according to a report by Europe1 radio.
He was seen driving

through the area, the radio
station said, presumably to
case the broad palm treelined boulevard.
Cazeneuve has rejected
criticism that police were
poorly prepared for such an
attack, though only 60 officers were on duty to protect
the crowd of 30,000 on the
night of the killings.
He said the attacker had
evaded police patrol cars
blocking access to the boulevard by driving the truck
onto the sidewalk.
Videos of the attack show
people joyously celebrating
the national holiday on the
closed-off boulevard and the
adjoining promenade, oblivious to the imminent danger
before the white truck be-
gins barreling through the
crowd at a relatively high
speed, swerving back and
forth as it runs over groups
of revelers.
The promenade and adjoining beaches were reopened Saturday, creating
an incongruous atmosphere
with beachgoers frolicking
in the turquoise waters of
the Mediterranean and
mourners paying silent tribute to the victims on the
nearby promenade.
Thousands, many in
tears, gathered around
dozens of piles of flowers,
cards and candles marking
the spots along the roadway
where many of the victims
were killed.
Cazeneuve made an ex-
traordinary appeal Sunday
for “patriotic citizens” to volunteer to join the country’s
security services and help
provide relief for the security
forces and reinforce security.
The reserve force is made up
of12,000 volunteers ages17 to
30.
“I want to call on all
French patriots who wish to
do so to join this operational
reserve,” he said.
Valls said he feared terrorism would continue to
beset France for a long time.
“The terrorism threat will be
a fundamental and enduring
problem, and other lives will
be wrecked,” he said.

TENS OF THOUSANDS of people have come to Nice’s Promenade des Anglais since Thursday’s attack, which killed at least 84 people and wounded more than 200.
Fate of some unclear after attack

tion to watch fireworks,
might be one reason why
throngs of mourners have
made what seems to be a
nonstop procession to the
Promenade des Anglais.
Tens of thousands have been
milling about the boulevard
next to the sea all day and
late into the night in speechless sorrow.
Someone erected a giant
white poster, decorated with
tiny child handprints in red
and green around the word
“justice.” Again and again,
flowers, votive candles and
stuffed animals were accompanied by notes reading
“pour les enfants.” For the
children.
Memorials have taken
shape on dozens of spots
along the promenade that
has been kept closed to traffic, marking the areas where
victims were last seen or
their broken bodies found.
Occasionally, friends or
family members of a victim
could be seen simply sitting
on the pavement and staring
at the places where their
loved ones perished, weeping or speaking softly to no
one in particular.
One man set up a small
piano near a memorial and
played Chopin’s solemn
“Marche Funebre” — the fu-
neral march.
“It feels as though the
ground has fallen away from
beneath our feet,” said Ines
Gyger of Switzerland, whose
6-year-old grandson was
killed Thursday. She spoke
outside the Pasteur Hospital in north Nice. Her son-inlaw and two other grandchildren, ages 6 months and 4
years, were also injured and
still in the hospital.
“My family is in shock,”
Gyger said. “I want to know
the truth.
“The French authorities
told us nothing. It was the
Swiss authorities who told
me that my grandson is
dead. The French authorities? All they can do is arrange one minute of silence.
We don’t need a minute of silence. We need two minutes
of information.”
An 11-year-old boy from
Texas, Brodie Copeland,
was also among the children
killed. The avid youth baseball and football player died
along with his father, Sean,
51, when they were hit by the
truck driven by Mohamed
Lahouaiej Bouhlel.
Three UC Berkeley students were injured in the attack. Of the 85 students participating in the university’s
study abroad program, one
student, 20-year-old Nicolas

“WHY THE CHILDREN?” a banner reads. “It feels as though the ground as fallen away from beneath our

DOZENS OF memorials have emerged on the promenade in the French Riviera
city, marking places where people were last seen or their broken bodies found.
Leslie, was unaccounted for
after the rampage.
A photo of Leslie — darkhaired, slender and smiling
— appears on “missing”
posters all over the city. On
Sunday, he was confirmed
dead by French officials.
At
many
of
the
memorials, people wept. Unspoken was the question:
Why would a father of three
attack so many children?
The collective mourning
on the promenade and outside the city’s two hospitals
seemed to be helping many
cope with the trauma of so
many children being hurt
and killed.
Carolina Villani, a nursing home worker, had been
enjoying the Bastille Day
fireworks with her family
when the speeding truck
killed her brother Bruno and
a friend of her mother’s,
Hugues
Mismack.
Her
sister, Christine Fabry, was
badly injured and her 14year-old son left in a coma.
Villani said in an inter-

view outside the Pasteur
Hospital that what pains her
most right now was the uncertainty about her nephew,
Andre Raffaeli, who disappeared.
“Nobody has any news
about my nephew,” she said.
“He’s still missing. We’re
looking for help. Andre is 16
and turns 17 on Tuesday.
Please help us find him.”
Damane Neslib was also
waiting outside the hospital
for news about his sister-inlaw, Sarah. The 16-year-old
girl who hopes to one day become a lawyer has been in a
coma since she was run over
by the truck.
“We’re not sure of anything,” said Neslib, a 28year-old crane operator.
“She has head injuries. The
doctors are doing tests but
we’re waiting for the results.”
No one knows what the
psychological effect will be
on those who survived the
attack, especially the children.
Mhamdi Azouzi and his
wife have four children, and
the family, along with other
relatives, was in the Bastille
Day crowd.
“We saw the panic and
managed to get away,” he
said. His family later
learned, however, that his 27year-old cousin Bilel Labbaoui had been run over and
killed.
“We got home and we noticed our children were all in
a kind of shock,” said Azouzi
outside Lenval Hospital.
“We thought they were OK
at first, but then things
didn’t seem right. So we
brought them to the hospital to make sure they were
OK. The doctors examined
them and said they should
be OK, even though this will
all take a long time to digest.”
Also outside Lenval Hospital was Tahar Mejri. His
wife, Olfa Ben Souayah, was
killed by the truck, and he
had spent two days searching Nice and its hospitals for
his 4-year-old son, Kylian.
“I don’t know what happened to him,” Mejri told
reporters outside. “We got
separated on the promenade when the panic broke
out, and I don’t know what
happened to him. It was all
so chaotic.
“There’s no information,
zero, zero. I don’t know if it’s
OK or not. I’ve tried everywhere, the police, hospitals
and Facebook. Where’s my
son?”
Later, outside the Pasteur Hospital, he was told
that Kylian also was among
the dead. Mejri began
screaming before breaking
down in tears.

THE FACE of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan shines from an electronic billboard over a rally on Kizilay Square in Ankara, Turkey’s capital, after the failed coup.
Turkish air base officials held
10 accused of aiding coup attempt from facility, which is also used by the U.S.
By Umar Farooq
ISTANBUL, Turkey —
The top military official at
Incirlik Air Base has been arrested, along with other officers at the base — a major
U.S. air operations center in
the Middle East — in connection with an attempt by a
military faction to overthrow the government of
Turkey, authorities said
Sunday.
The arrests came as huge
crowds turned out for
funerals of those killed in the
uprising, with secular and
nationalist leaders on Sunday joining military brass for
prayers at mosques — a rare
display of unity in a country
riven by ideological divisions.
Hundreds of thousands
filled squares in cities across
the country in a show of defiance after the failed military
coup that left 104 soldiers
and 161 civilians dead and at
least 1,440 people injured.
The
Turkish
armed
forces issued a statement
Sunday saying the uprising
was engineered by “terrorist
traitors embedded within
the Turkish army who belonged to an illegal organization.”
“The coup plotters …
have been neutralized as of
now and will receive the
heaviest punishment permitted by law,” it concluded.
Turkish officials said the
organizers of the uprising received crucial aid from officers at Incirlik Air Base, a facility that hosts most of the
2,500 U.S. military personnel
stationed in Turkey and is a
key base for the U.S.-led
coalition’s ongoing air campaign to defeat the militant
group Islamic State in
neighboring Iraq and Syria.
Though the base reopened for air operations
Sunday after a 24-hour closure, official media reported
the arrest of the top Turkish
military official at Incirlik,
Gen. Bekir Ercan Van.
Van was among 10 soldiers arrested at the base,
part of an operation Turkish
officials say provided air-toair refueling for F-16 fighter
jets deployed by the leaders
of the coup attempt Friday
night and Saturday morn-
ing.
The F-16s were a crucial
part of the coup attempt,
used to intimidate government supporters in the
streets. Turkish air force
helicopters were used to
shoot civilian government
supporters
and
attack
headquarters
of
police
forces in the capital, Ankara,
government officials said.
The extent of the coup
and who planned it are still
largely unknown, although
Ankara has blamed followers of Fethullah Gulen, an
aging cleric in exile in Pennsylvania accused by the government of engineering the
coup attempt and attempting to run a “parallel government.”
President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan has called for Gulen’s extradition from the
U.S. and suggested parliament should lift a moratorium on the death penalty to
deal with the cleric and
those involved in the uprising.
In a rally Saturday, Erdogan publicly addressed
President Obama, saying
Gulen must be turned over
to Turkey, and another official, Prime Minister Binali
Yildirim, said failure to do so
was tantamount to an act of
war. Labor Minister Suleyman Soylu said he believed
Washington was behind the
coup.
On Sunday, Secretary of
State John F. Kerry said, “We
think it’s irresponsible to
have
accusations
of
American
involvement,
when we’re simply waiting
for their request, which
we’re absolutely prepared to
act on if it meets the legal
standard.”
Speaking to CNN during
a trip to Europe, he said he
made it clear to his Turkish
counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu, in three telephone
calls since Friday night, that
the U.S. was not “harboring
anybody.” In one of those
calls, Kerry also urged the
Turkish government show
“restraint” and “respect for
due process” and international law as it pursues those
who planned and staged the
coup, according to the State
Department.
Among those killed during the clashes was Erdo-
gan’s campaign manager,
Erol Olcak, along with his 16year-old son, shot by soldiers as they held the Bosporus Bridge in Istanbul on
Friday night. Ilhan Varank,
the brother of one of Erdogan’s chief advisors, also was
killed at the Istanbul municipality headquarters during a confrontation with soldiers that lasted more than
four hours.
Erdogan carried the coffin of Varank at a funeral
ceremony for him and other
victims in the Fatih mosque,
about a mile from where
they were killed. A crowd of
thousands surrounded Erdogan, chanting for the execution of the coup plotters,
and the president pledged
that parliament would take
steps to ensure a “heavy
price” for the renegades.
Gulen appeared before
journalists at his compound
in Pennsylvania to deny any
involvement.
“As someone who has suffered under multiple coups
during the past five decades,
it is especially insulting to be
accused of having any link to
such an attempt,” Gulen
said.
Gulen has lived in exile
since the late 1990s, when a
secular government allied
with the military accused
him of attempting to overthrow the government. Erdogan was at the time allied
with Gulen, and Erdogan
was jailed on similar
accusations in 1999.
Gulen’s
movement,
called Hizmet, includes hundreds of schools, banks,
trade associations and news
outlets, many of which were
the largest in the country until a crackdown began
against them three years
ago. Gulen was accused of
trying to take control of the
judiciary, police and national intelligence association, and over the last
three years, about 4,000
Hizmet associates have
been detained, many accused of belonging to a terrorist organization.
They include hundreds of
journalists, such as Celil Sagir, who had been editor of
the Today’s Zaman newspaper until the government
seized the publication this

Bosporus strait and the control tower at the city’s main
airport. They also attacked
the MIT national intelligence agency, a major police
headquarters, the parliament and the presidential
palace in the capital, Ankara.
But they forgot to say
who they were and what
they were up to.
Binali Yildirim, the prime
minister, beat them to it.
Speaking to the news media
at 11 p.m. Friday, about an
hour into the coup attempt,
as tanks sent by the wouldbe junta were rolling
through Ankara toward his
office, he said that a group in
the Turkish military was attempting to topple the government but would fail.
It wasn’t until 12:15 a.m.
Saturday that the coup plotters took control of the state
television broadcaster in
Ankara, pointed guns at a
news reader and forced her
to read a statement declaring their armed takeover.
The statement identified
them for the first time by
their preferred name, the
“Peace at Home Council,” a
reference to a famous phrase
of Kemal Ataturk, the
staunchly secularist founder
of the modern Turkish republic, who spoke of “peace
at home, peace in the world.”
The name choice was the
first indication that at least
some of the coup leaders
were unhappy about Erdogan’s moves to elevate the

that began Friday night. Turkey’s president had exhorted the public to take to the streets to oppose the coup.
role of Islam in state affairs.
Minutes after the statement
was
read,
the
president responded, possibly from his vacation villa.
Blocked from state television, he called the private
television network, CNN
Turk, using Facetime on his
iPhone and exhorted the
Turkish public to take to the
streets to oppose the coup.
He said the coup attempt
was being conducted by a
“minority within the military” with links to with
Fethullah Gulen, a Muslim
preacher living in self-exile
in the United States, and
warned that the plotters
would “pay the highest price
at the end.” He said that he
would return to Ankara.
Erdogan got on a helicopter on the advice of a trusted
military general, flew to
Dalaman airport, near the
Aegean coast, and boarded a
business jet. But instead of
returning to the capital, he
flew to Istanbul.
That carried its own risks
because the control tower
was still held by the coup
plotters, who had turned off
the runway lights and could
have been using parked vehicles to block landings. The
president discussed the
dangers with the pilot, he
later told his justice minister, Bekir Bozdag, asking:
“Can you land with your own
lights even if they don’t allow
you to land?”
With enough fuel to fly for
four hours, the president
and the pilot had many options. Finally, they agreed to
circle the airfield before deciding whether to land using
only the lights of the plane.
They touched down in Istanbul shortly before 3 a.m.
Back in the Aegean
coastal town of Marmaris at
the Turban hotel, where Er-
dogan had been vacationing, the rebel commanders
had just arrived.
Three helicopters deposited more than two dozen soldiers in red berets and
camouflage uniforms, according to Ali Gundogan, a
journalist who had come on
his motorbike and climbed
over a hotel wall. “I came face
to face with them,” he said.
“Shoot him!” one of the
men ordered.
“I am a journalist,” said
Gundogan, who added that
he showed them his video
camera and refused to leave.
The soldiers circulated
among the hotel guests and
security staff, asking for directions to the president’s
villa, “since they didn’t know
the exact location,” he said.
When they found the
villa, they threatened to
throw in a grenade. Fahri
Kasirga, the secretary-general of the presidency, and
two bodyguards were still at
the hotel. The soldiers took
all three hostage.
As the night wore on and
they were unable to find the
president, the soldiers told
Gundogan that they had no
intention of harming him or
anyone else. It seemed they
intended only to capture the
president and not kill him.
The town mayor, Muhammet Ali Acar, said that
the soldiers had fired in the
air upon arriving at the hotel
and that panicked guests
called the police to report a
takeover by armed men.
When large numbers of police finally arrived about 4:30
a.m. and tried to arrest the
renegades, a gun battle ensued in which a policeman
and a bodyguard were killed,
the mayor said.
Eventually about 15 of the
soldiers got back in their
helicopters and flew off,
while the rest fled on foot.
“They left all their
machine guns in the hotel
rooms,” said Gundogan. “I
guess they didn’t want to
carry any heavy equipment
with them.”

A MAN IN MUGLA spits at a member of Turkey’s armed forces as he is taken

Yildirim, has said more than
6,000 coup supporters have
been arrested, including
2,800 members of the military and top officers in
charge of some of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization ally’s largest divisions.
A military helicopter
landed late Saturday at
Greece’s
Alexandroupoli
airport carrying eight Turkish officers. Ankara has
asked Athens to extradite
the men, saying they were
part of the coup attempt,
and while the helicopter
since has been returned to
Turkey, the officers have not.
It marked the first time
Turkish military staff have
sought refuge in Greece, a
country with which Turkey
has been at odds for centuries — they almost went to
war in 1996 over an uninhabited islet in the Aegean
and have been in contention
for decades over the still-divided island of Cyprus.
A lawyer for the officers
said the men have been
charged with illegal entry
into Greece, knew nothing
about the coup and were ordered to carry some of those
injured in the uprising in
their helicopter for medical

year.
“Erdogan blames Hizmet
for the coup attempt because he wants to use this as
an opportunity to prove that
Hizmet is an armed terrorist
organization. For almost
three years, he claimed it,
but no one has bought it.
Now he probably believes he
got the opportunity to persuade people,” Sagir said in
an interview.
He insisted that despite
the years-long campaign
against Hizmet, the group
had not resorted to violence,
and the idea it would do so
now with a coup “makes no
sense.”
He said he and his Zaman
colleagues
have
been
publicly condemning the
coup attempt and would
have joined protesters in the
street if not for the tense atmosphere. “If I go outside
and someone recognizes me
… if someone says they are
Hizmet, they will almost certainly be lynched right now,”
he said.
Aside from Hizmet, Ankara is sifting through the
military to find who was behind the coup attempt.

Those arrested from the
air force were just one part of
a faction in the military identified by authorities as participating in the attempted
uprising.
Gen. Akin Ozturk, who
commanded the air force
until August, has been arrested. And Gens. Erdal Ozturk, Adem Huduti and
Ekrem Caglar, who commanded the 1st, 2nd and 3rd
army divisions, respectively,
have been detained, as has

President Erdogan’s top
military aide, Col. Ali Yazici,
also has been detained.
Yazici is normally with Erdogan at all times, but the
night of the coup, he was in

government to have participated in the hostage-taking of Fahri Kasirga, a top

A GOP convention like no other
Tradition is expected
to take a back seat to
Trump’s reality-TV
politics. Many party
elders will stay away.
By Lisa Mascaro
CLEVELAND — Donald
Trump’s climb to the top of
the Republican ticket shattered the rules of presidential politics. Now, his
nomination is promising to
break with tradition like no
other political convention in
the modern era.
Trump’s brash brand of
reality-TV politics is expected to produce a crowdpleasing four days in Cleveland. It’s sure to capture the
populist sentiment that propelled his rise, but will be absent the pageantry of party
elders and statesmen giving
approval to a presidential
hopeful the Republican establishment has been slow
to embrace.
Many top officials, including both living former
Republican
presidents,
opted to stay home, not that
they were entirely welcome
by Trump fans. In their place
will be soap opera actors,
Trump family friends and
several billionaires who will
attest to the candidate’s
character and savvy.
Party leaders are anxious
for a display of political unity
after the turbulent primary
season. They hope the addition of conservative Indiana
Gov. Mike Pence to the GOP
ticket will comfort the naysayers.
But a dogged antiTrump element threatens a
high-profile floor fight inside
the Quicken Loans Arena,
home of the NBA champion
Cleveland Cavaliers. Outside, police are bracing for
unruly crowds of protesters
— white nationalists and
black power activists among
them — with Ohio’s opencarry guns laws allowing
firearms in the streets.
“Donald Trump and his
campaign know how to put
on a show,” Reince Priebus,
chairman of the Republican
National Committee, said on
“Fox News Sunday.”
Priebus
pointed
to
Trump’s address at the end
of the convention as a crucial
moment aimed at setting
aside the chaos of the Republican primaries and the
divisiveness Trump has
wrought in favor of a strong
message and a unified front
ready to challenge Hillary
Clinton and Democrats in
an intense general-election
battle.
“Thursday night is a
really big deal for our party:
Trump delivering that consistent, measured, pointed
message — the balloons
drop, the band plays, Donald Trump running for
president in the White
House,”
Priebus
said.
Carolyn Cole Los Angeles Times
REPUBLICANS will gather over four days in Cleveland starting Monday. “Don-
ald Trump and his campaign know how to put on a show,” one party official said.
“That’s where we need to
be.”
Conventions are normally an opportunity to introduce the presidential
ticket to a wider audience of
prime-time television viewers — and voters who will be
needed on election day. But
Trump’s convention, like so
much of his campaign,
carries a high likelihood of
becoming something else.
“He’s got to do more here
than say, ‘You’re fired,’ ” said
Tom Rath, a veteran GOP
strategist from New Hampshire, referring to Trump’s
signature line from “The Apprentice.”
“This is a time to reach
and talk to the broader electorate. If you play too much
to the group that nominated
you, you miss that opportunity to take that second
step,” he said. “His acceptance speech has got to be
something that people say,
‘Yeah,
he
could
be
president.’ ”
Ahead of the convention,
GOP officials worked frantically to tamp down a
delegate uprising trying to
block Trump’s nomination.
Many longtime party volunteers and activists see
Trump as insufficiently conservative and not representative of core GOP
values. They prefer other
candidates, including Sen.
Ted Cruz of Texas, and tried
to change the rules to allow
delegates to vote for the can-
didate of their choosing,
rather than for the winner of
their state primaries.
Last week, Priebus engaged in intense shuttle diplomacy, dispatched between Trump operatives
and rebellious delegates
during party organizing
meetings, to quell the rebellion. Trump’s team emerged
mostly victorious, but made
clear it was no more interested in unity than the
frustrated minority of delegates under the “Never
Trump” banner.
“We crushed them,” a triumphant Paul Manafort,
Trump’s campaign chairman, assured to CNN. “
‘Never Trump’ is nevermore.
They’re just gone.”
Guns a concern as protests begin
Cleveland police
union wants opencarry law suspended.
By Matt Pearce
and James Queally
CLEVELAND — A top
police union official asked
Ohio’s governor to temporarily ban guns outside the
Republican National Convention in downtown Cleveland after the shooting of
several police officers in
Louisiana renewed fears
about the safety of this
week’s political gathering.
But a spokeswoman for
Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, said Sunday that he did
not have the power to suspend the state’s open-carry
law.
The city has banned a
wide variety of potential
weapons from the protest
zone near the convention —
including tennis balls, water
pistols and bicycle locks —
but cannot limit firearms.
The dispute over the
open-carry law, which is
similar to statutes in most
other states, came as protesters from a long list of
organizations began to
gather here for demonstrations that are expected to last at least until
Donald Trump accepts the
Republican
presidential
nomination on Thursday.
On Sunday afternoon, a
man with an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, a handgun and
ammunition stood in downtown’s Public Square saying
he was there to exercise his
rights and make a point.
“What are you going to
do, ban everything that kills
people?” Steve Thacker, a
57-year-old
information
technology engineer from
Westlake, Ohio, asked when
someone criticized his decision to walk through Cleveland with the rifle. “The
point is to protect yourself.
This world is not the world I
grew up in.”
A local resident, Steve
Roberts, 61, who was riding
his bike through the square,
stopped to acknowledge
that Thacker was within his
rights, but asked him to
leave.
“You’ve shown it. Why
don’t you take it back?” Roberts, who was wearing a
“Stand for Love” T-shirt,
told Thacker. “I find it offensive.”
The miniature drama between the men could be one
of many that will play out as
viewpoints collide in Cleveland this week — not just left
versus right, but sometimes

far left versus far right.
In preparation, metal security
fencing
stands
around the convention site,
which is protected by the
U.S. Secret Service. The rest
is the responsibility of a police force including thousands of officers from agencies from California to
Florida who have been
sworn in with arrest powers
in the city. Police officers
with dogs have begun patrolling the streets.
“It’s game time,” Cleveland Police Chief Calvin
Williams said Sunday morning, “and we’re ready for it.”
Black nationalists drew
an escort of bicycle officers
in helmets and shorts as
they marched through the
city Saturday. Planes towing
banners opposing abortion
and supporting the imprisonment of Hillary Clinton circled the city Sunday
while hundreds of activists
marched
through
the
streets to protest Trump
and killings by police.
The names of Tamir Rice
and Eric Garner, who were
killed by police, were invoked as a small but raucous
crowd began to chant outside the Cleveland Masonic
and Performance Arts Center.
“No Trump. No KKK. No
fascist USA,” the crowd
chanted, with many holding
signs that read “Stop
Trump” or “Black Lives
Matter.”
On Monday, one group of
anti-Trump activists plan to
hold an illegal march to the
Quicken Loans Arena, the
site of the convention, to
have a “clash of ideas” with
Trump supporters.
The city granted the activists use of a public park
but denied them a permit for
the route they desired, said
organizer Tom Burke, who
said they wanted to get “as
close as they possibly can” to
the GOP delegates shielded
behind the metal fencing.
“We hope that they’ll hear
us inside the convention,”
Burke said. “We don’t expect
any trouble.”
Chelsea Byers, 26, of Los
Angeles was dressed in a
pink Statue of Liberty costume and said she traveled
to Cleveland to protest the
Trump and Clinton candidacies. A member of the antiwar group Code Pink, she
thought it was important to
rail against “war hawks.”
“We felt like it was important to stand in solidarity to
stop the hate,” she said.
Cleveland natives said
they were more worried
about how out-of-town demonstrators might act as the
week goes on.
“It’s always a concern because it’s not their city.
Whatever they do, they don’t
care,” said David Allen, a
biker and longtime city resident. “I’m just gonna try and
stay away from downtown.”
Mike Deighan, a 28-yearold restaurant employee in
the downtown area, seemed
to be enjoying the fanfare
near the Quicken Loans
Arena as he purchased a hat
from one of several pop-up
stands that were selling
shirts disparaging Trump
and Clinton.
But his mood soured
when the topic turned to the
likely demonstrations later
in the week.
“I’m not really excited
about it at all,” he said. “The
only people who are going to
destroy this city are the people who aren’t from here.”
Along East 55th Street,
Brian Lange waved a 2nd
Amendment flag proudly as
he stood near a vendor
hawking pro-Trump paraphernalia. Lange, who is affiliated with the right-wing
Oath Keepers group, said he
had traveled from Lima,
Ohio, to report for his radio
show.
Although he’d been in
Cleveland for less than an
hour, he said, someone had
already driven by and hurled
profanities at him for supporting Trump. Lange, an
Air Force veteran, said he
just smiled back.
“They got the freedom to
say whatever they want, as
long as they don’t trample
on my rights,” Lange said. “I
just consider them ill-informed.”
Steve Loomis, president
of the Cleveland Police
Patrolmen’s Assn., who
called for the ban on guns
outside the convention, said
he was not “against the 2nd
Amendment.”
But recent killings of police in Texas and Louisiana,
combined with volatile confrontations that could occur
outside the convention, will
create situations that are
too risky for city police, he
said.
City officials canceled a
security
briefing
for
reporters Sunday night and
issued a statement that extended condolences for the
deaths of the three officers
killed in Baton Rouge, La.,
but said nothing about
whether the shooting would
change the security plan.
Jeff Larson, chief executive of the Republican National Convention, told
reporters in a briefing that “I
feel good about the security
plan.”
Cleveland police have
had “a number of big events
that have taken place with
open carry without any issues,” Larson said.
He added: “It is the
constitution in Ohio. The
governor can’t simply say,
I’m going to relax it for a day
or tighten it up for a five-day
period of time.”

Times staff writer Michael
Finnegan contributed to
this report.
On Sunday, he added:
“This is a Donald Trump
convention.”
The resistant delegates,
though, have not gone away
completely. Many have
spent their adult lives volunteering for the party, and
have promised a showdown
once the convention is
gaveled to order Monday.
“It’s just beginning,” said
Kendal Unruh, a mother
from suburban Denver and
organizer of the effort.
Meantime, even Trump
supporters
were
headscratching over the week’s
lineup
after
Trump
promised a “winner’s night”
and A-list celebrities that
had yet to appear. Some just
wished they had a schedule
to plan the week, as would
normally be available days
ahead of time.
Even the theme of the
event — “America First” —
harked back to an isolationist era in American politics,
though Trump’s campaign
counsel, Donald F. McGahn,
said it was simply an extension of Trump’s slogan,
“Make
America
Great
Again.”
“You’re going to see a little bit of a different convention than years past,” McGahn said. “There are going
to be some politicians speaking, but you’re going to see
some sports figures, some
celebrities, that sort of thing
— and a number of people
who know Mr. Trump
personally.”
Prime time kicks off with
a “Duck Dynasty” star and
Scott Baio, known to generations of TV viewers for his
roles on “Happy Days” and
“Charles in Charge.”
Trump’s wife, Melania,
will also speak.
The lineup also includes
speeches by Trump’s adult
children, billionaire backers
including Californians Peter
Thiel and Tom Barrack, and
Calvin Klein model Antonio
Sabato Jr., the Italian-born
soap star.
To be sure, the convention will include traditions,
with House Speaker Paul D.
Ryan presiding as chairman.
Also, each night will focus on
core topics.
Monday is devoted to national security, with an emphasis on the 2012 terrorist
attack in Benghazi, Libya.
Tuesday will be the economy, when Ryan, also the
party’s 2012 vice presidential
nominee, will deliver a
prime-time address.
Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky will speak, as will
Trump’s primary-season rivals, including Cruz and
Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Sen. Marco Rubio, who
is campaigning for reelection in Florida, will send a
video message.
But the 2008 and 2012
GOP nominees, Sen. John
McCain of Arizona and former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney, are not expected to attend, nor are former Presidents George H.W.
Bush and George W. Bush.
Another glaring absence is
Trump rival John Kasich,
the Ohio governor, who will
be in his home state but
staying away from the convention hall.
“Over the last couple of
years, there’s been a lot of
narratives about establishment and rebellions and
everything like that,” said
Trump top aide Bill McGinley.
“One of the things that
we’re going to be seeing over
the next couple of days is going to be a very active floor
that’s going to promote Mr.
Trump, that’s going to nominate him as president and
that we are going to come
out of Cleveland unified.”
Running short of cash after some corporate sponsors
declined to back the event,
Republican officials made
an overt plea last week to billionaire
casino
mogul
Sheldon Adelson to help
cover the tab.
Officials downplayed the
shortfall as routine for producing a big event. The
RNC’s chief strategist, Sean
Spicer, told CNN that the
convention would be “like
nothing that has ever been
seen.”
Spicer said that security
from more than 70 federal,
state and local law enforcement entities would “make
sure that this is the safest
place on earth.”

Trump
demonstrated
that at one of the highestprofile events of the generalelection campaign, the unveiling Saturday of his running mate, Indiana Gov.
Mike Pence.
Typically, the presumptive nominee’s introduction
speech plays heavily on the
overarching goals and desires of the ticket, the feats
the chosen person has accomplished, and how the
choice expands the party’s
reach into the electorate.
Not Trump’s.
His speech drove repeatedly into rhetorical cul-desacs that had one thing in
common: They were about
him.
He spoke of the campaign he had waged and how
definitively he had defeated
adversaries. He went on at
length about Hillary Clinton’s State Department
emails, asserting that she
had committed crimes for
which she would be punished in November.
He went on a long soliloquy about the Johnson
Amendment, which bans
churches from political
activity. He talked about his
opposition to the North
American Free Trade Agreement and the Iraq war, both
of which were supported by
his new running mate,
Pence.
Worse, he stood in front of
the podium alone, with
Pence offstage as if to telegraph that the campaign
was still, regardless of his
new partner, all about
Trump.
The problem wasn’t
Pence’s feelings — vice presidential candidates quickly
get used to serving at the
whim of the nominee.
The problem was that
Trump didn’t cast any of his
remarks in the context of
American voters. There was
no outline of what this new
ticket would mean for the
lives of the people who will
decide the presidency.
American voters prefer
their candidates to care
about them, not themselves.

when it came to several
qualities
important
to
voters. Exit polls found that
voters thought Romney had
a better vision, shared their
values and was a strong
leader.
Obama, however, overwhelmed Romney by a 4-1
margin when it came to
which candidate was seen by
voters as caring more about
them. His victory showed
the importance of that attribute.
Trump now trails Clinton
on that count — by 10 percentage points in a recent
McClatchy/Marist poll.
It’s not that Trump is unable to put himself in the
place of voters and see the
election options from their
perspective.
In June, in his first focused speech on Clinton, he
directly took on the Democrat’s campaign slogan of
“I’m with her.”
“You know what my response is to that? I’m with
you,” Trump said.
That
message
held
promise — but it has been repeated only sparingly since
then.
Much as Trump won’t
stop repeating falsehoods
that make him look good —
he didn’t oppose the Iraq
war initially, for example,
even though he says he did
— he also makes clear that
his comfort zone is talking
about himself and his accomplishments, not anyone
else.

the so-called open-carry law,
convention Chief Executive
Jeff Larson said, “without
any issues.”
“There’s going to be
plenty of law enforcement in
downtown Cleveland,” he
said. “I think it’s going to be
fine.”
The events put a fresh focus on the imperative pressing on Trump in coming
days: to convince Americans
that he can keep them safe,
both
domestically
and
abroad.
That is a notion he has
pushed repeatedly. But
more often than not, his detours into other subjects
have diluted his message.
Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort indicated Sunday that he sees
the convention as an unalloyed
opportunity
for
Trump on that score. The
convention’s first night, he
said, will be focused on how
to “make America safe
again.”
Whether the convention
accomplishes that goal rests
on two things that are uncontrollable by Manafort or
event organizers: an outbreak of violence here or
elsewhere, and Donald
Trump.
Under some circumstances, Trump could benefit from the environment of
violence this year. Candidates who portray themselves as the “law and order”
alternative have succeeded
before; unrest has, if anything, amplified the message of candidates like Richard Nixon, who benefited
from protests at his1968 convention.
But Trump himself has
been accused this year of fomenting violence with remarks aimed at protesters
inside his events, so he could
be seen in some quarters as
lacking real concern for outbreaks.
That possibility is magnified by his reactions to
charged events, which have
sometimes been layered
with insouciance rather
than sobriety.
Trump dealt with Sunday’s Baton Rouge news on
Twitter, his favorite communications vehicle.
“President Obama just
had a news conference, but
he doesn’t have a clue,” he
wrote. “Our country is a divided crime scene, and it will
only get worse.”
Minutes earlier, he alluded to his regular campaign assertions that only
he can bring the required
toughness to bear in the
White House.
“Our country is totally divided and our enemies are
watching,” he said. “We are
not looking good, we are not
looking smart, we are not
looking tough!”
As is typical, Trump offered no details about what
should be done. Further, his
approach touched on one of
the elements which has
complicated his campaign:

THE AGENDA: AIRPORT SECURITY
Would Israeli-type security
measures fly at U.S. airports?
Facility near Tel Aviv has been free of hijackings, terrorist attacks since the ’70s
By Hugo Martin
In the wake of two grisly
attacks on European airports, one name has been on
the lips of U.S. lawmakers
and airport executives: Ben
Gurion International Airport.
The airport near Tel Aviv,
named for Israel’s first
prime minister, David BenGurion, has a reputation as
one of the world’s most secure airports, where layers
of security measures have
kept the facility free of hijackings and terrorist attacks since the 1970s.
U.S. airport executives
and lawmakers have increasingly debated whether
the security measures used
at Ben Gurion could prevent
the kind of bloodshed that
took place at airports in
Brussels and Istanbul, Turkey, this year. Those measures include widely accepted passenger profiling
based on appearance and
behavior, multiple security
screenings in the terminal
and checkpoints in the
general vicinity of the airport.
Ben Gurion hosted a conference last month attended
by airport officials from
more than 40 countries to
learn about the airport’s security tactics, and former
Ben Gurion security officials
have testified several times
at U.S. congressional hearings over the last few years.
“A lot of what the Israelis
are doing has informed what
we’re doing,” Peter Neffenger, administrator of the
Transportation
Security
Administration, said during
a Senate committee hearing
on airport security last
month.
But to adopt most or all
of Ben Gurion’s security
measures at a facility like
Los Angeles International
Airport probably would
mean higher ticket prices to
pay for extra screening measures and longer wait times
for more intense questioning by security agents, aviation experts say.
At Ben Gurion, travelers
are told to arrive at least
three hours before any flight,
while
U.S.
officials
recommend fliers arrive two
hours before a domestic
flight.
As it is, even a two-hour
wait for security screening
raises protests among U.S.
travelers.
Ariel Schalit Associated Press
TO ADOPT most or all of Ben Gurion’s security measures at a facility such as LAX probably would result in
higher ticket prices and longer wait times, aviation experts say. Above, a passenger at Ben Gurion in 2010.
“In Israel, they have a security mentality,” said John
Halinski, a security consultant and former deputy administrator at the TSA.
“They are willing to accept a
lot of things that American
travelers are not willing to
accept.”
Several polls, including
the annual J.D. Power airline
satisfaction survey, show
that passenger satisfaction
levels drop significantly if
travelers must wait 15
minutes or longer for a
boarding pass.
“It would be ideal to
adopt the Israeli process for
security, but it’s about risk
versus return on investment,” said Johnathan Tal, a
former anti-terrorism security specialist for the Israeli
government and president
and chief executive of Tal
Global, a San Jose security
firm.
Another problem is sheer
size: LAX served 74 million
passengers last year, while 16
million travelers passed
through Ben Gurion.
Still, huge passenger
numbers are not a barrier to
adopting sound security
measures, said Rafi Ron,
president of New Age Security Solutions and former director of security at Ben
Gurion airport.
“That is one of the typical
excuses that people use
when they don’t want to go
into greater investment or
adopt a more far-reaching
approach to security,” he
said. “It’s not a valid excuse.”
Oversight of airport security measures also differ.
In the U.S., the responsibility for airport security is
shared by local airport police and the TSA.
At Ben Gurion International Airport, the responsibility for security falls under
the airport manager and the
airport’s security director,
eliminating
bureaucratic
red tape when changes are
needed and finger-pointing
when problems arise.
“Everything goes under
that umbrella,” Ron said.
Travelers also are questioned more often, starting
more than a mile outside the
Israeli airport, where all incoming vehicles are stopped
and inspected for car bombs
and other weapons. The
drivers and passengers also
are questioned.
At LAX, police sometimes operate a vehicle
checkpoint on the ramp
leading into the airport, but
the dates, times and duration of the checkpoint operation are determined randomly by a computer program to ensure terrorists
don’t know when to expect
the checkpoint.
At Ben Gurion, armed security agents patrol the airport property and terminals
with the authority to stop
and question any passenger
and demand to see identification
and
other
documents. The security
agents are typically former
members of the Israeli military who have been known to
ask travelers to show hotel
receipts or even open their
email accounts to prove they
are who they say they are.
Since 2007, the TSA has
operated a similar program
staffed by behavior detection
officers,
specially
trained TSA agents who
question passengers acting
suspicious or looking nervous.
But the program has
been under attack by civil
rights groups and members
of Congress who question
whether the tactics are effective and whether the officers
target minorities. TSA officials defend the program,
saying it does not profile
travelers based on race or
ethnicity.
In the face of such criticism, the TSA reduced the
number of behavior detection officers to 2,660 from
3,130 in the last year and cut
the number of airports
where they serve to 87 from
122. The program is still in
place at LAX.
But at Ben Gurion, security experts say race and ethnicity are among several factors used to determine who
should undergo extra questioning.
“It is absolutely true that
you are profiling on risk fac-
tors, and appearances are
one of those factors,” Tal
said.
After
questioning
travelers at Ben Gurion, security agents affix a yellow
sticker on each traveler’s
passport, showing 10 numbers, with the first digit
ranging from one to six. A
one represents a low-risk
traveler, and six represents
an extreme threat. The
higher the number, the
greater scrutiny a passenger
can expect, according to several travelers who have
flown through Ben Gurion.
Tal declined to comment
on the 10-digit number system.
Ben Gurion also puts luggage through extra screening. Passenger luggage at
Ben Gurion is screened
when travelers enter the terminal, even before getting a
boarding pass, and again after travelers get their boarding passes and go through
the security checkpoints.
At LAX, luggage is
screened only once, after
passengers get their boarding passes.
Adopting the Israelistyle security measures
would increase the time it
takes passengers to clear security screening in the U.S.
unless airport fees are raised
to pay for extra screening
agents to perform the added
measures, aviation experts
say.
Instead, the TSA has cut
back on screeners in the last
year, which explains why the
wait times at airports
surged at the start of the
busy summer travel season,
said J. David Cox, president
of the American Federation
of Government Employees,
which
represents
TSA
agents.
The TSA now employs
about 42,000 screeners,
down from 47,000 in 2013.
Meanwhile, the number of
passengers flying through
U.S. airports has jumped
15%, to 740 million a year
from 643 million, in that
same period. Congress has
approved funding to speed
up the hiring of 600 new TSA
agents and convert hundreds more officers from
part-time
to
full-time
employees.
“If you increase the security, you are going to have to
increase the staff,” Cox said.
“It goes hand in hand.”

‘I’m hit, I’m right in front of it’

black Democrat, urged the public to support police: “We are one family, all seeking justice for all of our people.”

[Baton Rouge, from A1]
Long appeared to leave a
vast, anger-laden online trail
documenting his interest in
black separatism, fury at police shootings of black men,
experience in the Marines
and advocacy for vegetarianism.
Throughout his postings
on social media, Long described violence as the solution to what he saw as oppression of black Americans.
“One hundred percent of
revolutions, of victims fighting their oppressors, from
victims fighting their bullies,
100% have been successful
through
fighting
back
through bloodshed,” he says
in one video.
Sunday’s incident began
just after 8:30 a.m. when
Baton Rouge police officers
and East Baton Rouge sheriff ’s deputies found themselves under sudden attack
near a gas station and convenience store on Airline
Highway, less than a mile
from the Baton Rouge Police
Department’s
headquarters, an area that has been
the scene of repeated
protests since the July 5 police shooting of Alton Sterling.
Police responded to a call
of a suspicious person
dressed in black and carrying an assault rifle, walking
down Airline Highway near a
beauty supply store.
“Supposedly a lady came
up and said there’s a subject
walking with a coat and an
assault rifle out here behind
the store,” an officer could be
heard saying in a recording
of the police radio channel
posted to Broadcastify.com.
Within minutes, the gunman opened fire.
“Shots
fired,
officer
down!” another officer reports in the recording.
“Shots fired, officer down!
Got a city officer down!
Shots fired! Shots fired on
Airline!”
“I’m hit, I’m right in front
of it,” an officer replies
shortly afterward. “By the
carwash.
“I’m hit,” he says. “Left
arm. Argh.”
By 8:48 a.m., emergency
workers arrived, according
to a timeline issued by the
Louisiana State Police. Police then “engaged” the
shooter, who died at the
scene.
Gillian Rose Triche, 31, an
Army reservist and nursing
student who lives near the
scene of the attack, described gunshots — one
shot, then more “cracking
and echoing.” It sounded
like an automatic rifle, said
Triche, who served in the
Army for 12 years.
In the confusion that surrounded the immediate
aftermath, some local officials said two other suspects
might be at large. Later, officials said the dead gunman
was the only person who
shot at officers.
“We do believe the person
who shot and killed our officers, he is the person that we
shot and killed,” said Col.
Michael D. Edmonson, superintendent of the Louisiana State Police. “We don’t
believe we have any shooters
holed up.”
Still, investigators were
working
to
determine
whether Long had help, Maj.
Doug Cain, a spokesman for
the state police, told
reporters.
“We are not ready to say
he acted alone,” Cain said,
noting that two “persons of
interest” were picked up after the shooting and
brought to the East Baton
Rouge Violent Crimes Unit.
He was apparently referring to a report that two men
in black T-shirts and camouflage shorts had acted
suspiciously at a Wal-Mart
store in Port Allen. The men,
who drove a car with Texas
license plates, were detained
at a gas station in Addis,
southwest of Baton Rouge,
but were later released.
There was every reason
for police to be wary: Four
young people were arrested
last week and accused of
plotting to shoot and kill police officers, part of what authorities described as a
“substantial,
credible
threat” to harm law enforcement officers in the Baton
Rouge area.
The incident is the nation’s fourth high-profile
deadly encounter involving
police in the last two weeks.
The shooting of Sterling on
July 5, captured in an agonizing video, triggered a Justice
Department civil rights investigation.

On July 7, a gunman who
claimed he was seeking revenge for Sterling’s and
Castile’s deaths killed five
police officers during a
Black Lives Matter protest
in Dallas.
Baton Rouge Police Chief
Carl Dabadie Jr. choked up
as he discussed Sunday’s
shooting. “This is not going
to tarnish this city or this department,” he said. “We will
get through this.”
East Baton Rouge Parish
Mayor Melvin Lee “Kip”
Holden, a black Democrat,
urged the community to
support law enforcement.
“We are one family, all seeking justice for all of our people,” he said.
The slain officers included two from the Baton
Rouge Police Department:
Jackson, who had worked on
the force for a decade, and
Matthew Gerald, a white, 41year-old officer who had
been with the department
for less than a year. East
Baton Rouge Sheriff ’s Deputy Brad Garafola, 45, was
also killed. The father of four
had been with the sheriff ’s
office for 24 years.
The sheriff ’s office said
Deputies Nicholas Tullier,
41, and Bruce Simmons, 51,
were wounded in the attack.
Tullier was in critical condition, and Simmons has nonlife-threatening
injuries.
The third injured officer has
not been identified.
Jackson, whose wife had
given birth this year to their
son, Mason, was a “great
guy, one of the good cops,”
said Marcus Brown, a family
friend who regularly saw
Jackson. Brown said his
cousin was married to Jackson.
“He would always throw
events at his house for us
married couples. We would
go over and play games together,” Brown said. “Video
games, ‘Madden,’ things like
that. He loved basketball.
We would talk about sports
all the time.”
Kristi Godal, a friend and
Jackson’s next-door neighbor, said Jackson was the
president of their neighborhood association and popular with residents.
“He had the best yard.

His house always stood out,”
Godal said. “People are just
flowing by the house, bringing food and in tears.”
Since the shooting of
Sterling and the ensuing
protests,
Godal
had
regularly chatted with Jackson in person and on Facebook about tension in the
city. Their conversations
grew after Jackson put up a
Facebook post on July 8,
lamenting the turn of events.
“I’m tired physically and
emotionally. Disappointed
in some family, friends and
officers … but hey what’s in
your heart is in your heart. I
still love you all because hate
takes too much energy but I
definitely won’t be looking at
you the same. Thank you to
everyone that has reached
out to me or my wife it was
needed and much appreciated,” Jackson wrote.
“I swear to God I love this
city but I wonder if this city
loves me. In uniform I get
nasty hateful looks and out
of uniform some consider
me a threat. I’ve experienced
so much in my short life and
these last 3 days have tested
me to the core…. These are
trying times. Please don’t let
hate infect your heart.”
The other day, Godal
sent Jackson a message on
Facebook encouraging him
to stay positive. “You set the
tone, I’m proud to know
you…. You will be one of the
legends, stay the course.
God bless you,” she said.
“Thank you! Lol!” Jackson wrote back.
Within hours of the
shooting, Donald Trump,
the presumptive Republican presidential nominee,
took to social media to critique Obama’s leadership.
“How many law enforcement and people have to die
because of a lack of leadership in our country?” he
posted on Facebook. “We demand law and order.”
Local and federal officials
pledged full support as the
investigation
unfolded.
Agents from the FBI and
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives
were on the scene, Atty. Gen.
Loretta Lynch said in a
statement, noting that the
Justice Department would
provide victim services and
federal funding support, as
well as investigative assistance.
“Rest assured, every resource available to the state
of Louisiana will be used to
ensure the perpetrators are
swiftly brought to justice,”
Gov. John Bel Edwards said
in a statement.
As news of the shooting
spread, police departments
across the country — already on edge after the Dallas attack — were urged to
remain cautious.
“As we monitor the incident in Baton Rouge, our officers are reminded to use
caution and remain vigilant
in their patrols,” the Boston
Police Department tweeted.

communities safe? We need

Black Lives Matter activists involved in protests in

movement would carry on.

normality had only slowly
begun to return after his funeral Friday. She said she
was shocked, angry and saddened when her mother told
her of the police officers shot
on Sunday.
“So much chaos,” she
said. “I hate that it was my

that it was him who died and
for all this to have happened.
I wish that none of this happened.”

Monday’s
sentencing
hearing in U.S. District
Judge Percy Anderson’s
downtown courtroom is expected to be more tense and
dramatic than most as it remains an open question how
much prison time, if any,
Baca will serve.
Before sentencing Baca,
Anderson must decide
whether the terms of the
plea deal Baca and prosecutors reached are acceptable. The agreement calls for
Baca to receive no more
than six months behind
bars.

harsh punishments to Tanaka and the others caught
up in the obstruction case,

charges the government
might decide to bring.
The question of how
Baca should be punished
has grown more complicated in recent weeks after
Assistant U.S. Atty. Brandon Fox and Baca’s attorney, Michael Zweiback, revealed in court filings that
the former sheriff was in the
early stages of Alzheimer’s
disease.
Despite the diagnosis,
Fox, who heads the public
corruption and civil rights
unit, argued to Anderson
that Baca still should go to
prison for six months.
The former sheriff ’s cognitive impairment is “slight,”
Fox wrote in court records,
adding that there was no evidence Baca’s condition
played a role in his lying to
federal authorities. The lies
came during an interview a
year before Baca first consulted a doctor about “memory issues,” Fox wrote.
And although Fox conceded Baca did not play as
direct a role in the obstruction as the others who have
been convicted, a six-month
sentence was necessary not
only to punish him but to
send a message that no one
in law enforcement was
above the law, even a popular elected official atop one
of the country’s largest law
enforcement agencies.
Zweiback did not deny
his client’s misdeeds, writing
in a court filing that Baca
had “failed” the people he
was elected to serve.
“His life’s work has ended
in a large scale breakdown of
the Los Angeles Sheriff ’s Department at a time when he
was its leader,” the attorney
wrote.
But Zweiback implored
Anderson to take into account the good Baca did in
the Sheriff ’s Department
and spare him time in prison. It would be unjust, he
said, to let Baca’s failures at
the end of his career overshadow his accomplishments.
Among dozens of letters
filed in support of Baca — including ones from former
California governors Gray
Davis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, as well as former
Mexican President Vicente
Fox — was one from an ex-inmate who took education
and rehab classes in county
jail and said his “life was
forever changed by the forward thinking and vision of
one man … Sheriff Lee
Baca.”
Zweiback also raised
concerns about whether
Baca could receive appropriate medical care in a prison setting, saying his
diagnosis of Alzheimer’s has
left him in need of “consistent monitoring” and treatments that hope to slow the
progress of the disease.
Prosecutors rebuffed the
questions about Baca’s care

[Baca, from A1]
deep-seated problems persisted or worsened under
him.
The elusiveness that
marked Baca’s time in office
will meet hard reality Monday morning when he is sentenced in federal court for lying to federal authorities
who were investigating attempts by sheriff ’s officials
to obstruct an FBI inquiry
into abusive deputies working in county jails — an undeniable reckoning that will
color his extensive career
with disgrace.
“Here you had somebody
who had good ideals and
who, on several important
issues, like homelessness
and the mentally ill, seemed
capable of sounding different
and
being
more
understanding,” said Merrick Bobb, who monitored
the Sheriff ’s Department for
the county for more than two
decades. “But after a while,
all people will remember is
that the sheriff resigned and
pleaded guilty to a federal
crime. Whatever else he did
that was good will be lost.”
Bobb and others who
worked closely with the
sheriff criticized Baca for
taking a detached approach
to running the department
and ceding control to Paul
Tanaka, his undersheriff.
Tanaka, who was sentenced
last month to five years in
prison, is one of several sheriff ’s officials and deputies
who have been convicted of
playing roles in the scheme
to obstruct the FBI.
Baca, 74, admitted in
February that he lied during
a 2013 interview with investigators in which he maintained he knew little of the
efforts by subordinates to
thwart the FBI’s probe into
the county jails. In fact, Baca
conceded, he had known in
advance of a plan to have
deputies confront an FBI
agent and threaten her with
arrest. And he did not contest other allegations, including that he was aware an
inmate working as an FBI informant had been hidden
from agents. Baca retired
months after the interview.
The admission came as
part of a surprise plea deal
Bureau of Prisons medical
director, who assured Anderson that Baca would be
cared for adequately.
Whatever the sentence,
the sight of Baca standing
before Anderson and being
tagged as a felon will serve as
an epilogue few could have
anticipated during the 15
years Baca ran the Sheriff ’s
Department.
“I always thought of Baca
as the anti-sheriff —
thoughtful, philosophical,
someone who cared as much
about prevention as traditional policing,” said Fernando Guerra, who heads
the Center for the Study of
Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University. “It’s still a
shock for me to think that he
got caught up in this.”
To be sure, Baca never
followed any conventional
playbook for law enforcement leaders.
A rail-thin man who
rarely carried a sidearm,
Baca often greeted other
men at public events with a
kiss on the cheek and a hug.
In 2005, with Compton in
the grips of a spasm of gang
violence and homicides on a
near-record pace, he sent
deputies door-to-door in the
city to deliver letters inviting
gang members and their
parents to meet with the
sheriff to discuss the “ramifications” of their “decisionmaking process.”
And determined to reform inmates during their
time in his county jails, Baca
created programs for drug
addicts, domestic abusers
and the mentally ill. He also
launched a corporate-style
training program for his
deputies to tap employees’
potential.
Baca’s unorthodox style
and endeavors left many inside the department grumbling that he cared more
about social work than police work — a charge the
sheriff said he wore with
pride.
And in many ways, it was
an attitude ahead of its time.
The hard work Baca put in to
make the department more
inclusive and build ties with
minority communities has
become standard for police
chiefs and sheriffs.
But there was no shortage of outright failures and
missteps.
He was initially defiant in
the face of allegations that
inmates were being beaten,
even though internal department memos had raised
concerns about deputies
meting out “jailhouse justice.”
He came under fire for releasing thousands of inmates early, some of whom
went on to commit violent
crimes.
Baca blamed budget cuts
that he said gave him little
choice but to close portions
of his jails and freeze deputy
hiring. Still, he drew worldwide notoriety in 2007 when
he released hotel heiress
Paris Hilton early from jail.
In 2010, the Sheriff ’s Department hired nearly 300
officers from a little-known
county police force, including some who had accidentally fired their weapons,
had sex at work and solicited
prostitutes. Nearly 100 had
issues with dishonesty, including lying or falsifying police records, according to
documents review by The
Times.
Baca said his top aide at
the time was responsible for
the hires.
Baca also traveled the
world relentlessly, making
trips to Pakistan, Jordan
and Europe to discuss international terrorism and other
issues only tangentially related to the job of a sheriff.
The wanderlust was a
symptom of a larger shortcoming, said a former
county official who worked
closely with Baca for many
years and considers him a
friend.
“Lee’s biggest problem
was that he saw himself as
more than sheriff to L.A., he
really thought of himself as a
sheriff to the world. He
didn’t take care of the work
he needed to do here,” the
former official said.
It was a flaw that ultimately led to Baca’s downfall as the distracted sheriff
increasingly ceded control of
the day-to-day operations to
Tanaka and Bobb, said
Guerra and others.
“There was always the
worry that when you have a
philosopher king in charge
that the people below him
will run roughshod,” Guerra
said. “Now, whenever I give a
lecture to students about
Lee Baca, the first thing I’ll
have to say is, ‘This is how it
ended.’ ”

Leave Ginsburg alone
Republicans’
smaller tent
for Trump
By Erwin Chemerinsky
As the GOP’s national convention
opens in Cleveland, the party
ignores the lessons of 2012
A
OP-ED
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fter Mitt Romney lost the 2012
presidential election, an “autopsy” commissioned by the Republican National Committee
concluded that the party
needed to reach out to young people and minorities if it wanted to have any hope of regaining the White House. But the Republican National Convention that begins Monday — and the man on whom it will bestow
its nomination — seems determined to double down on anger and exclusion.
The post-2012 autopsy — officially, the report of the Growth and Opportunity Project
— didn’t mince words.
“Public perception of the party is at
record lows,” it said. “Young voters are increasingly rolling their eyes at what the
party represents, and many minorities
wrongly think that Republicans do not like
them.” The report advocated comprehensive immigration reform and warned that
the party had to “make sure young people
do not see the party as totally intolerant of
alternative points of view,” including on the
subject of gay rights.
As Republicans convene in Cleveland
this week to nominate Donald Trump, those
recommendations seem like dispatches
from an alternative universe. Not that the
trends in voter demographics have dramatically improved for the GOP in four years; instead, the autopsy’s advice has fallen on a
new set of deaf ears.
With the failure of an attempt to release
delegates from their obligation to support
Trump on the first ballot, the convention
will be a coronation. And the crown will be
placed on the head of a candidate who has
referred to Mexican immigrants as rapists,
proposed a blanket ban on Muslims entering the U.S. and threatened suspected terrorists with treatment “a hell of a lot worse”
than waterboarding.
The platform set to be adopted at the
convention is likely to be even more unappealing to women, minorities, gays and
many young voters than Trump is. The
document echoes his xenophobic call for a
wall to prevent illegal Mexican immigration
and specifies that it must cover “the entirety
of the Southern border” and be “sufficient to
stop both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.”
And on social issues, the document actually
tacks to Trump’s right.
For example, while Trump has said he is
anti-abortion (and fleetingly suggested
punishing women who have the procedure)
the platform recycles a proposal in the 2012
platform for a “human life amendment” to
the U.S. Constitution prohibiting abortion.
And while Trump has made various statements suggesting that he isn’t hostile to
gays and lesbians, the platform is replete
with anti-gay provisions, including a call for
a constitutional amendment to let states
ban gay marriage again.
Nor are younger and minority voters
likely to be swayed much by Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
Pence’s experience as a governor and member of Congress distinguishes him from
Trump, who has never held public office,
and so does his more restrained personality.
But he is no champion of comprehensive immigration reform. In Congress he sought to
require immigrants in the country illegally
to deport themselves before seeking legal
status; more recently he endorsed Trump’s
proposal to temporarily bar all entrants
from countries rife with terrorism, after having criticized Trump’s previous call for a
blanket ban on Muslims entering the U.S.
On social issues, Pence has been a consistent conservative. This year he signed a
bill — later blocked by a federal judge — that
would have prohibited abortion when the fetus suffered from a disability. Last year he
signed a “religious freedom” bill that many
feared would permit discrimination against
gays and lesbians. (After an uproar he
signed a revised version making it clear
businesses couldn’t deny service based on
sexual orientation.)
As a member of Congress, Pence supported a constitutional amendment to limit
marriage to a man and a woman and voted
not to repeal the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy that required gay service members to
keep their sexual orientation secret.
No doubt Trump, Pence and other
speakers in Cleveland this week will appeal
to Americans of all ages and backgrounds to
vote Republican. But with this ticket and
this platform those appeals are likely to result in a lot of eye-rolling.
I
magine that you are a person with
great influence, highly respected and
with a powerful voice that commands
enormous attention. Imagine that you
see the country heading down a potentially destructive and very dangerous path.
Do you sit quietly and, if the worst happens,
always regret your silence, or do you speak
out even if doing so will subject you to criticism? That is the choice that Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg faced before she publicly
criticized Donald Trump and, unlike most
commentators, I applaud her decision. Nor
do I think she needed to apologize, as she
did on Thursday.
In three interviews, with reporters from
the New York Times, Associated Press and
CNN, Ginsburg spoke on a wide array of
topics.
Much of what she said was unsurprising
and not controversial. She expressed pleasure at the Supreme Court’s recent abortion
and affirmative action cases, where she was
in the majority. She praised President Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, and said that the court’s work
is hindered by the Senate’s failure to consider him. I wish more of the justices would
explain that the Senate’s refusal to consider
this nomination, as well as nominations for
lower federal court judgeships, is seriously
interfering with the functioning of the
courts.
What attracted attention was her sharp
criticism of Trump, whom she called a
“faker.” She also said that her late husband
would have wanted to move to New Zealand
if Trump were elected.
Ginsburg is 83 years old and has seen in
her lifetime the great damage that can be
done by a demagogic candidate who professes extreme nationalism and peddles
unsubtle racist and anti-Semitic messages.
I wonder whether it is a coincidence that
Ginsburg criticized Trump soon after his
campaign tweeted a six-pointed Star of
David superimposed over $100 bills and a
photo of Hillary Clinton, perpetuating the
age-old offensive association of Jews and
money.
Ginsburg knows that too often bad
things happen because — as the saying goes
— good people do nothing. She knew she
had a platform and she used it.
Uninformed punditry to the contrary,
her comments violated no law or ethical
rule. The judicial code of ethics says that
judges are not to endorse or oppose candidates for elected office. These provisions,
however, do not apply to Supreme Court
justices. (Whether that exception is reasonable is a separate question.)
It’s true that, conventionally, justices
steer clear of electoral politics. But that
wasn’t always the case: In 1800, the members of the Supreme Court openly campaigned for the reelection of John Adams.
This convention of silence, moreover, is inconsistent with one of the most basic
underlying principles of the 1st Amendment: that more speech is better in a democracy because it leads to a better-informed population.
Pete Souza Chicago Tribune
JUSTICE Ruth Bader Ginsburg publicly criticized Donald Trump.
Many have claimed that Ginsburg will
have no choice but to recuse herself if a case
involving Trump comes to the court. I don’t
think so. She was not speaking about a
pending case. Besides, Sandra Day O’Connor was widely quoted as saying that Al
Gore would be “terrible” for the country,
and she participated in Bush vs. Gore anyway.
Whatever “should” happen, the reality is
that Ginsburg will not recuse herself. It is
left to each justice to decide whether to
participate, and I cannot imagine that
Ginsburg will see her comments as disqualifying. She will feel, rightly, that she can
decide specific issues that she has not discussed publicly.
Nor am I convinced that her comments
tarnished the image of the court. Is anyone
surprised that a liberal like Ginsburg perceives Trump as a threat to democracy?
Did saying it aloud really change anything?
On Thursday, Ginsburg tried to put the
matter to rest. In a brief statement issued
by the court, she said that “judges should
avoid commenting on a candidate for public office,” and acknowledged that her remarks were “ill advised.” In the limited
sense that her statements attracted criticism, who could disagree? Otherwise, she
had nothing to repent.

The president is not a scientist
By Alex Berezow
and Tom Hartsfield
T
he Journal of the
American Medical
Assn. recently published a very unusual
article: a scientific
study authored by a sitting
president of the United States.
That’s never happened before.
In a sense, it’s cool that
President Obama cares enough
about science to want to publish
a paper in one of the world’s
leading medical journals. But
JAMA has set a bad precedent.
The article, on healthcare reform in the United States, is
problematic not only in its content but in the threat it poses to
the integrity of scientific publishing.
Let’s set aside the debate on
whether the specific numbers in
the article are factual. (Of
course, there is certainly room to
question Obama’s data. The
president writes that “[t]rends
in healthcare costs … have been
promising,” even though healthcare spending per capita
continues to increase.)
Far more troubling is the
president’s tone, which is often
self-congratulatory. “I am proud
of the policy changes in the [Affordable Care Act],” he writes,
“and the progress that has been
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
AND
PUBLISHER
Davan Maharaj
made toward a more affordable,
high-quality, and accessible
healthcare system.”
It would be difficult, if not impossible, to find another paper
in any scientific journal in which
a politician was allowed to subjectively analyze his own policy
and declare it a success. This is a
textbook definition of conflict of
interest.
Moreover,
despite
the
scholarly nature of this academic journal, the president seems
incapable of resisting political
rhetoric. He glazes over contentious details of the ACA with
poorly substantiated claims. For
instance, he writes, “For most
Americans … Marketplaces are
working.” Are they? A majority
of Americans want ACA repealed, while others would prefer a universal healthcare system.
Worse, when it comes to
those who disagree with his ideas, Obama responds with petty
jabs. After denouncing “hyperpartisanship,” he then goes on to
criticize Republicans for “excessive oversight” and “relentless
litigation” that “undermined
ACA implementation efforts.”
One-sided commentary is
perfectly fine for the campaign
trail, but it has no place in a scientific journal, or in the scientific
record alongside the discoveries
of DNA and black holes. On the
contrary, a good scientific paper
devotes space to seriously considering the objections of other
scientists. Failure to do so would
often be grounds for rejection.
Rather than ignoring or belittling opposing ideas, it is the author’s job to convince his readers
that his data and ideas are superior.
Obviously, JAMA held the
president to a different, lower
standard than it would an academic scientist. In fact, JAMA
editor in chief Howard Bauchner admitted as much. In an interview with the Chronicle of
Higher Education, he said that
Obama’s article was peer reviewed, but that he was allowed
“a bit more flexibility because of
who he is.” He also acknowledged that “we don’t fact-check
every fact.”
That’s outrageous. Factchecking is integral to peer review. Scientific publications
earn their reputations by publishing only studies that hold up
under intense logical and empirical scrutiny. The referees who
administer this process will
often reject an article outright or
ask for months of painstaking
corrections if they find even a
small error.
It is neither ethical nor scientifically rigorous to bend the
rules based on the identity of the
author. Facts, not famous bylines, determine the quality and
significance of a scientific study.
The bottom line is that the
president of the United States
patted himself on the back and
mocked his political opponents
in a highly prestigious scientific
journal. No scientist or doctor
would have been allowed to publish what he published. It is difficult to fathom what JAMA was
thinking.
As a major voice in the
medical community, it is within
JAMA’s best interest to stay out
of politics. Otherwise, people, including doctors and scientists,
may begin to tune out.

The fatal ambushes of
police in Dallas and Baton
Rouge, La., this month recall
a treacherous, not-so-distant past for law enforcement, when groups like the
Black Panthers called on
their supporters to execute
officers.
Violence against police
had risen steadily throughout the 1960s.
Twenty-eight
officers
were killed in 1960. The total
in 1966 was double that.
When the Black Panthers
formed in Oakland in 1966,
their espousal of violence
was a sharp turn from the
peaceful protests of the civil
rights era. They said only
force
could
effectively
counter a culture of white superiority and police abuse,
and
called
on
their
supporters to kill cops.
A spin-off group, the
Black Liberation Army, did
exactly that, launching
numerous attacks in the
early 1970s. Members were
suspected in bombing a police officer’s funeral, and
they were charged with
killing four officers in New
York, Atlanta and San Francisco. The next year, members shot two officers to
death on a sidewalk in New
York’s East Village.
Slayings
of
officers
peaked in 1973, when 134
died, according to a 1996 report, “Death on Patrol: Felonious
Homicides
of
American Officers,” to the
National Institute of Justice.
The militant groups were
never responsible for the
bulk of the killings, which
were committed by a variety
of criminals. And although
the racial animus toward police didn’t vanish with the
disintegration of the black
power movement, race
wasn’t the prime motivator
of violence in ensuing years.
The report found that
from 1980 to 1992, 54.6% of
suspected cop killers were
white, and 42.8% were black.
George Brich Associated Press
ASSISTANT CHIEF Daryl Gates of the LAPD with
weapons found during Black Panther raids in 1969.
By 2005, the number of officers
murdered
had
dropped to 55, and the figure
has hovered around that
ever since, averaging 49 a
year, according to the FBI.
About 10 officers a year
have been killed in ambushes — either premeditated or unprovoked
attacks — between 2005 and
last year.
Motives for the attacks
have been varied, along with
the races of the killers. In
2012, in LaPlace, La., two
deputies were killed by an
anti-government
group
called the Sovereign Citizens. Of the six suspects arrested, five were white and
one was black.
In 2013, Riverside Officer
Michael Crain was shot at a
traffic light by Christopher
Dorner, the disgruntled former LAPD officer, who was
black. The next year in Las
Vegas, a white couple with
anti-government leanings
shot police Officers Igor
Soldo and Alyn Beck while
they were eating pizza.
A month later, an officer
in Gary, Ind., was shot to
death in his patrol car, and a
25-year-old black man was
charged with the crime. In
September, a white survivalist was accused of fatally
shooting a Pennsylvania
state trooper as he stepped
out of his barracks.
During a period of furious
protest over the police
shootings of black men, one
attack in particular stirred
fears among law enforcement that they could face retaliatory ambushes. On Dec.
20, 2014, Ismaaiyl Brinsley,
an unemployed black man
who reportedly told his exgirlfriend he wanted to commit suicide, walked up to a
patrol car in Brooklyn and
shot Officers Rafael Ramos
and Wenjian Liu to death,
then killed himself.
Hours before, in a post on
Instagram, he said he
planned to kill two officers
and referenced the police
killings of Michael Brown in
Ferguson, Mo., and Eric
Garner in Staten Island,
N.Y., as the reason, according to news reports.
Anxiety
heightened
when an officer pumping gas
in Texas was gunned down
by a black man in August.
Now with eight officers
killed in 10 days in Dallas and
Baton Rouge, many undoubtedly are bracing for
1973 again.

Reagan was a spark in ’76
Ex-governor fought President Ford hard for nomination
GEORGE SKELTON
in sacramento
Forty years
ago, Republicans held a
riveting,
robust convention in
Kansas City,
Mo., where a
rebel Californian nearly
wrested the party’s nomination from a powerful sitting
president.
Compared to this week’s
horror tale in Cleveland, the
Kansas City story was like a
Frank Capra feel-good
movie starring a popular
but underestimated former
so-called B-movie actor.
“I hated that expression,” says Stu Spencer, who
was Ronald Reagan’s chief
strategist for most of his
winning election campaigns. In 1976, however, he
was advising the other side:
President Gerald R. Ford’s.
“Back then everyone was
taking Reagan too lightly,”
Spencer recalls. “I was
running around the White
House saying, ‘This guy is
tough. He’s serious. He can
really win.’ ”
The convention showed
American politics at its
best: rough but respectful,
cutthroat but civil.
Hip-hop artist the Game
urged gang members from
across Southern California
on Sunday to stop the violence in the midst of the national focus on the recent police shootings of African
American men.
The Game, whose real
name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, told the hundreds gathered for a town hall-style
meeting at a South Los Angeles community center that
he was pushing a positive
message because one day, he
hopes his daughter will be
able to walk the streets “a little safer.”
“Your life should mean
more to you,” he told the
crowd. “Your life should
mean more to you than what
you’re showing.”
Nation of Islam Minister
Tony Muhammad, who
helped organize the event,
said it’s time for the black
community to come together.
“Come on, black community, it’s time for us to stand
up and unite,” he said.
At one point, Muhammad asked those in the
crowd who have lost someone to gang violence to
stand. Hundreds did.
“Wow,” he said.
In an Instagram post before the meeting, the Game,
who grew up in Compton, extended his invitation “to all

city as well as the surrounding cities to our meeting.”

RONALD REAGAN waves to the crowd on the last night of the GOP convention
in Kansas City as incumbent Gerald Ford watches. In 1980, Reagan won it all.

“Jerry Ford was a good

Or, as I quoted California
state Sen. H.L. Richardson
at the convention in a Times
story: “Reagan could get a
standing ovation in a grave-

A qualified critic of police tactics
Cheryl Dorsey, a
20-year veteran of the
LAPD, now advocates
for justice reform and
accountability.
ROBIN ABCARIAN
Cheryl Dorsey faced a
mirror in a Pasadena hair
salon, at the beginning of an
appointment that would eat
up the whole morning and
part of the afternoon. Her
stylist, Ursula Simpson,
carefully braided Dorsey’s
locks before weaving in a
spectacular lion’s mane of
silver curls.
These things take time.
Dorsey could ill afford to
spend half the day in a salon
chair. She’s in demand now
as a talking head on shows
focused on the recent spate
of police shooting deaths of
black men and the hideous
retaliation killings of officers in Dallas.
Dorsey, 58, brings a rare
set of credentials to the
conversation. She is a black
mother of four sons who
also happens to be a 20-year
veteran of the Los Angeles
Police Department. She
spent her career in uniform,
rising to sergeant before she
left in 2000.
I heard her on KPCC the
other day and thought she
brought a lot of credibility to
the table, particularly on
the subject of the Los Angeles Police Commission’s
controversial 3-0 vote to
exonerate officers involved
in last year’s killing of Redel
Jones, a 30-year-old black
mother of two who had just
robbed a South Los Angeles
pharmacy. Jones, who
wielded a knife, was shot in
an alley after an officer ran
toward her, got closer than
he intended and could not
Robin Abcarian Los Angeles Times
‘We are progressive in our thinking. We want real
change, and we have some ideas.’
— C HERYL D ORSEY,
former LAPD officer and police reform activist
back away when she raised
her weapon.
The officers violated a
number of department
rules — including engaging
Jones while still in their car,
failing to turn on their in-car
camera, making simultaneous demands on her —
but the shooting was ruled
justified.
This did not totally compute with me. How do you
not follow policy and then
not be held responsible, at
least in some way, when
mayhem ensues?
Dorsey is less diplomatic: “They said the tactics were problematic, but
the shooting was good. If
the tactics are bad, everything that follows is bad.
You knew she had a knife,
you see her running down an
alley. We are not taught to
engage with a suspect when
we are sitting in the car. We
are not taught to run up on
people who are armed. Had
they not done that, Redel
Jones would still be alive.”
A similar set of missteps
occurred, as she sees it,
before officers shot Alton
Sterling, the Baton Rouge,
La., man whose death this
month was caught on video.
“Officers responding to a
man with a gun?” she said.
“Any rational officer would
not run into a situation,
tackle him, struggle with
him and then say, ‘I had to
shoot him because he was
resisting.’ ”

decided to read her 2013
memoir, “Black & Blue.”
She was inspired to write
after Christopher Dorner’s
2013 killing rampage across
Southern California and the
revelation of his “manifesto,” a chronicle of perceived mistreatment at the
hands of the LAPD, which
had fired him in 2009. Like
many officers, Dorsey could
relate — not to Dorner’s
actions, but to his rage and
sense of powerlessness.
“I didn’t know him,” she
said. “I don’t condone what
he did. But I thought maybe
I should speak about what’s
going on so that nobody else
gets there.”
The Dorner tragedy, by
the way, also occasioned a
spasm of self-reflection in
the LAPD. Chief Charlie
Beck surveyed his troops
and discovered a widespread perception that the
LAPD dispensed discipline
unfairly, based on skin color,
rank and nepotism.
Dorsey was the kind of
cop who absolutely loved
her job (“I loved to issue
traffic citations,” she writes.
“I really did. Don’t judge
me.”) but had conflicts with
colleagues and bosses because of her gender, her
race, her attitude and the
LAPD’s infamous culture of
cronyism.
She refused a captain’s
demand, for instance, to cut
her long fingernails because
there was no department
policy about nails. “I pride
myself,” she writes, “in being
totally responsible for the
department adopting a
policy on the length of officers’ fingernails.” Once the
policy was on the books, she
cut her nails.
In 1998, she writes, she
nearly lost her job when the
LAPD’s internal affairs
department discovered that
she had called 911 in Altadena to report confrontations with her then-husband, also an LAPD officer.
She was accused of “unnecessarily causing the
response of an outside
agency,” and of lying to the
LAPD investigator. She
believes her job was saved
only because a respected
mentor testified on her
behalf.
Two years later, almost
to the minute she qualified,
SCIENCE FILE
she retired with a full pension.
::
In the salon, I mentioned
how befuddled I’ve been by
all the calls for “hard conversations” about race relations and policing in this
country. Haven’t we been
talking ourselves hoarse?
And haven’t the killings
continued apace?
“Yes, that’s disingenuous,” Dorsey said. “I think
people are tired of talking
about it. We want some
action. We want accountability.”
She belongs to a new
group, the National Coalition of Law Enforcement
Officers for Justice, Reform
and Accountability, which is
focused on rooting out the
institutionalized or unconscious racism that affects
how police departments
interact with people of color.
“We are not a group of
disgruntled black police
officers that are just bellyaching,” she said. “We are
progressive in our thinking.
We want real change, and we
have some ideas.”
The group, which supports Black Lives Matter,
offers a counterpoint to
what is often the knee-jerk
defensiveness from police
unions. “Police unions, a lot
of times, say, ‘You have
never put on the uniform;
you are not qualified,’ ”
Dorsey said. “We say, ‘Hold
on. We do understand. And
we see a better way.’ ”
They were not included
in the meeting President
Obama hosted the other
day with police chiefs across
the country, who accused
him of not appearing sensitive enough to the pressures
police face. Nor were they
invited to his prime-time
town hall meeting Thursday
with police supporters and
black citizens whose lives
have been upended by police shootings. Many critics
felt the event focused too
much on police hardship,
not enough on police reform.
But we cannot let the
tragedy in Dallas, nor Sunday’s horrendous killings of
police in Baton Rouge,
obscure the larger issue this
country is facing.
“When we see white
officers dealing with white
suspects, they have conversations,” Dorsey said.
“Those militia people are
aggressive, and the officers
will spend so much time
explaining things to them.
But they don’t extend those
same courtesies to black
people.”
Why is that? Until we can
answer that question honestly, all the talking and
town halls in the world are
not going to change a thing.

MIT’S MARGARET HAMILTON sits in an Apollo command module mock-up in 1969. Apollo 11’s code included pop culture references.
Space for some cultural bits
Shakespeare, ‘Wizard of Oz’ are among gems hidden in Apollo 11’s code
DEXTER THOMAS
Imagine that it’s the
mid-1960s, and NASA has
hired you to help put a man
on the moon.
Flying a spacecraft is
incredibly complicated. If
the trajectory is even one
degree off during reentry,
everyone on board could
die. Human error is a serious risk. So what do you do?
Simple: You write some
software to fly it for you.
And, because your team
has a sense of humor, you
call the ignition sequence
“BURN, BABY, BURN,” and
quote Shakespeare’s
“Henry VI” in the code.
These and other bizarre
quirks are coming to light,
thanks to a former NASA
intern’s decision to post
Apollo 11’s guidance computer code to the Internet,
all 36 kilobytes of glory.
But first, it might help to
know a bit about the computer.
Apollo 11’s onboard guidance computer had a
processing speed of 1 MHz
and had about 4 kilobytes of
reusable memory. The
original Nintendo Game
Boy, released in 1989 a mere
20 years after the first moon
landing, was four times as
fast at 4 MHz and had double the memory.
Or, put another way: The
iPhone 6S is at least 1,800
times faster — and has
500,000 times more memory
— than the computer that
guided Neil Armstrong and
Buzz Aldrin on their history-making expedition.
But for the time, Apollo
11’s computer was pretty
sophisticated and compact,
weighing in at a bit over 70
pounds.
Now that the code has
been released, its page on
the software building platform Github has become a
thread of endless Apollo 13
jokes. There’s also the occasional sarcastic technical
support question (“Error:
Cannot open pod bay
doors”).
But there’s no need to
rely on the comments section for jokes.
For example, the code
that helped the Lunar Module land contains a request
for the astronaut to
“PLEASE CRANK THE
SILLY THING AROUND,”
then quotes “The Wizard of
Oz.”
There’s also a strange
line from Shakespeare’s
“Henry VI” about “such
abominable words as no
Christian ear can endure to
hear” in the program for the
interface, which is called
“PINBALL_GAME_BUTTONS_AND_LIGHTS.”
Why the name?
Apparently, the
programmers threw together some code for a
demonstration unit that
would impress tourists who
visited the lab — perhaps
like a pinball machine.
But then, as a
programmer explained,
time passed, and “nobody
got around to inventing an
improvement for the user
interface, so the coders
simply built it into the flight
software.”
Then, there’s the master
ignition routine, which is
(naturally) called “BURN_BABY_BURN.” The annotated code says it’s a
reference to the 1965 Watts
riots.
One of the original
programmers has confirmed that it was also a
reference to protest movements, noting that “the two
biggest news stories were
Viet Nam and Black Power,
the latter including [black
activist] H. Rap Brown and
his exhortations to ‘Burn
Baby, Burn’ — this was 1967,
after all.”
Which makes you wonder — if this code were written today, what kind of
movements would get a
name-check?

FRIENDS Franco, left, and Kyle play “Pokemon Go” at Watts Towers last week. A guard has seen more visitors since the game launched.
Neighborhood ‘Go’-getters
Pokemon game adds new life to some areas by forcing players outside
By Ruben Vives
The little girl with
chipped pink nail polish
stopped short of a picnic table outside the Jordan
Downs Recreational Center
in Watts, scaring a cat as she
approached — hands glued
to a phone — in search of a
magical creature.
Visiting from South Gate,
her babysitter, Julian Campos, 20, watched from a distance, reflecting on a neighborhood that he left two
years before a game called
“Pokemon Go” sent the
young and not so young
questing for digital beings.
“Back in my day,” Campos began, sounding much
older than his years, “I
would’ve had to be right behind her.”
A mile away, Kofi Washington, 23, of Inglewood and
Jose Zapata, 16, a resident of
the Jordan Downs public
housing project, held tight
to their phones beneath the
iconic Watts Towers. In their
hunt for Pokemon, they humorously
wondered
whether the game was delivering a cryptic message
about the neighborhood.
“Why do I only keep seeing snakes in the hood?”
Washington said. “What are
they trying to say?”
“It’s rats, bats or snakes,”
Zapata chimed in, who said
he recently, without enough
context, told his grandmother that he caught a
snake.
“Ay
sacalo!”
she
screamed in Spanish, he
said. “Get it out!”
In the less than two
weeks that the viral game
“Pokemon Go” has been out,
it has already produced a litany of odd doings and
mishaps — including former
KOFI WASHINGTON , 23, of Inglewood, hunting for Pokemon with Jose Zapata,
16, points to where a digital creature may be near the Watts Towers.
“IT’S GOOD to be around a group of people” when
playing, Washington says. Above, he displays a tattoo.
Marines helping to capture
an attempted murder suspect while playing the game
in Fullerton and two men
falling off a cliff in north San
Diego County.
But it is also provoking
some people to get acquainted with their neighborhood by forcing them to
get out into the streets if
they want to play. In some of
the neighborhoods of L.A.
with tougher reputations,
it’s also bringing a bit of extra life to places that oddly
had more vibrant street
scenes during the city’s
more violent 1980s and early
’90s.
Gustavo Garcia, 44, a
longtime Boyle Heights resident, said there was a time in
the years that followed when
only a few people dared to
stay out past sundown in his
neighborhood.
“You couldn’t even walk
to the store,” he said.
A few years ago, the
neighborhood started to feel
much safer. He saw more
people jogging and walking
around the 19th-century Evergreen Cemetery across the
street from his home. Now,
even more are showing up,
he said, staring at smartphones as they scour for
“that Pokemon Pikachu or
whatever.”
For Washington and Zapata, the game has made
them reflect on where
they’re willing to go — and at
what time — to catch Pokemon.
“I usually go out in the
morning,” Zapata said. “It’s
at night that I don’t go out at
all.”
“That’s why it’s good to
be around a group of people,” Washington said.
Ivan Gonzalez, 22, a security guard at a park that is
part of the Watts Tower
monument, said that since
“Pokemon Go” launched,
the park has seen more visitors — even on a recent
Tuesday night.
“The park was pretty
packed,” he said. “It’s unique
because a lot of people normally don’t show up. It’s the
area. It’s Watts.”
Sitting on a brown bench,
Arthur Jenkins, 54, can remember the dark days. He
said there were shootings,
stabbings, robberies and
rapes at the park at night.
“Things have turned
around,” Jenkins said. “You
have people who can walk
around here without worrying about getting robbed or
crazy things like that.
“It gives me a good feeling. The kids are bringing life
to this park.”
At Evergreen Park in
Boyle Heights, Alma Miranda, 70, said she suddenly
began noticing more children walking around with
their phones, playing the
game.
“I thinks it’s great,” she
said. “It’s funny to watch
them. They’re willing to walk
for miles for a little thing.”

Cost of Glendale sewer project rises
A failure to identify
underground boulders
leads the city to OK
additional $7 million
for construction.
By Arin Mikailian
A Glendale wastewater
treatment project will cost
about $7 million more than
initially planned after a
consultant’s report failed to
identify underground boulders that would get in the
way of construction of a
4,300-foot sewer pipe.
The City Council last
week
unanimously
approved the allocation of the
additional funds to redo
parts of the Chevy Chase
Sewer Diversion Project,
which will treat wastewater
locally instead of letting it
flow to a treatment plant in
Los Angeles.
Last year, the city
awarded a $14.1-million contract
to
Upland-based
Mladen Buntich Construction Co., which in November
informed city officials there
were boulders in the way.
Part of the project had to
be redesigned, and the need
for bigger machinery and
bigger pipes arose, said
Roubik Golanian, the city’s
public works director.
“There is going to be extra work, extra effort and extra cost involved to move
forward with the work,” he
said.
The project’s completion
will also be delayed by a year,
with a target date now set for
2018.
The borders of the construction are San Fernando
Road, Elk Avenue, Chevy
Chase Drive and Pacific Avenue.
Fugro Consultants Inc., a
geotechnical agency, didn’t
identify the subsurface
rocks in its soil survey, Golanian said.
Golanian said that the
experience has been disappointing and frustrating,
and that the city is looking
into whether Fugro could be
held liable.
Officials at Fugro’s Los
Angeles office referred queries to its Houston office,
which did not return calls for
comment.
The goal of the project is
to divert wastewater initially
heading for the Hyperion
Plant for treatment in Los
Angeles and instead send
it to the Los Angeles Glendale Water Reclamation
Plant.
Another component of
the project would have some
of the wastewater be converted into recycled water
for city vehicles, such as
street sweepers, saving
about 2.5 million gallons per
year.
Golanian said because of
the savings, it was estimated
the project would recoup its
cost in 14 years, but with the
delay and additional costs, it
will probably take about
17 to 21 years for that to happen.
But City Manager Scott
Ochoa told council mem-
bers that moving forward
with the project would still
be worthwhile because once
costs have been recouped,
the diversion project will
save the city about $1 million
a year.
Council members elected
to stay with Mladen Buntich
Construction Co., although
the option to terminate the
contract and find another
contractor to do the work
was also on the table.
The additional money
will come from the public
works department’s sewer
fund, which had enough to
cover the extra work.

Community News.
The Los Angeles Police
Department will increase
helicopter patrols and the
screenings of 911 calls in the
wake of the fatal shootings of
three Baton Rouge officers,
Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Sunday.
Under the move, the
LAPD will also shift Metropolitan Division officers to
help back up patrol officers.
“Today, we are adding resources to make sure that
our Los Angeles Police Department and other public
safety agencies are supported,” Garcetti said in a
statement.
The boost in resources
comes after two Baton
Rouge police officers and
one East Baton Rouge sheriff ’s deputy were shot and
killed Sunday morning. Several other officers were also
injured before the suspect,
identified as 29-year-old
Gavin E. Long of Kansas
City, Mo., was shot by police.
“I condemn this violence
in the strongest possible
terms. There is no justification for the taking of the lives
of officers who were in their
communities doing their job
today,” Garcetti said in a
statement, calling the recent
shootings targeting law-enforcement officers “a horrifying trend.”
The Louisiana killings
follow the death of Alton
Sterling, a 37-year-old black
man who was shot by police
July 5. On July 6, Philando
Castile, a 32-year-old black
man, was shot by a police officer in Minnesota during a
traffic stop. One day later, a
gunman killed five officers
during a Black Lives Matter
protest in Dallas in apparent
retaliation for the deaths of
Sterling and Castile.
The Los Angeles Police
Protective League issued a
statement decrying “the
platitudes and ‘rhetorical
support’ for law enforcement” and issued a call for
more concrete action.
“In just over one week’s
time, this nation has seen its
law enforcement officers targeted, hunted and murdered
again,” the league said in the
statement. “We cannot keep
our neighborhoods safe if
the men and women we ask
to protect our communities
face ambush around any potential street corner.”
Los Angeles Police Chief
Charlie Beck called for more
dialogue even as he condemned the violence against
law enforcement officers.
“The events that have
triggered this national discussion about policing in
America are necessary, but
must be free of violence if
meaningful change is to be
achieved,” Beck said.
Beck sent an internal
video to officers Sunday after the deadly shooting in
Baton Rouge, explaining the
heightened safety measures
the LAPD has taken to protect police as they respond
to calls.

San Diego homicide
detectives say they

Allison Ruppert of Escondido and her daughters Desiree, 5, left, and Destiny, 7, get an up-close look at
a dead whale that washed up on an Encinitas beach. The whale is believed to be the same one that
beached itself and died in Huntington Beach earlier this year.
San Diego schools
chief placed on leave
Randy Ward, who
heads the county
education office, was
relieved of duty
pending an audit.
By Maureen Magee and
Christine Huard
San
Diego
County
Schools Supt. Randy Ward
will be placed on administrative leave as the school
board launches a forensic
audit to examine “concerns
related
to
certain
expenditures and compensation” for top education officials.
“As
elected
officials
statutorily charged with the
oversight of public monies,
we must act prudently and
in the best interest of the
County Office of Education,”
the board said in a release
last week, which announced
that an independent party
would conduct the audit.
Turmoil has surrounded
the San Diego County Office
of Education for weeks. A
lawsuit has been filed and
another one threatened
amid mounting accusations
of fraud and mismanagement.
Even with two lame-duck
trustees — and a third
headed for a November runoff election — the five-member board is proceeding with
changes to its bylaws in an
effort to assume more power
over an agency where most
decisions are made by the
superintendent.
What’s more, the board,
with its fleeting members, is
moving ahead with preparations to replace Ward, who
announced he would retire
next year.
Before the announcement of Ward’s leave and the
audit, Paulette Donnellon
and Mark Powell, who unseated incumbents Mark
Anderson and Gregg Robinson in June, both criticized
the board for pursuing significant changes before the
new trustees take office.
A watchdog group is suing the superintendent and
chief financial officer, accusing the two of taking raises illegally. On top of that, San
Ysidro
School
District
employees have filed a claim
seeking wages and benefits
they allegedly lost when the
county office had financial
oversight while the district
was on the brink of bankruptcy.
Ward, who was unavailable for comment, took a vacation day Thursday after a
tense
board
meeting
Wednesday night. Trustees
emerged from a closed ses-
SAN DIEGO County Schools Supt. Randy Ward will be on paid leave during a
forensic audit of “certain expenditures and compensation” for top officials.
sion Wednesday to announce that although no action had been taken, a news
release would be issued the
next day. The board released
the information Thursday
without comment.
“I don’t think there
should be action taken until
the new board is seated,”
said Donnellon, a member of
the Escondido Union School
District board who unseated
Anderson with backing from
charter-school advocates.
“People are innocent until
proven guilty, and due process needs to play out.”
Attorney Cory Briggs,
who is suing Ward and Assistant Supt. of Business
Services Lora Duzyk for the
California Taxpayers Action
Network, said an audit and
paid leave for Ward would be
appropriate.
“It
protects
the
taxpayers, it protects the
agency, and it protects the
accused,” Briggs said. “You
want a financial expert in
there to trace the money —
how was it supposed to be
spent and how was it actually spent.”
The lawsuit alleges the
superintendent paid himself
illegal retroactive increases
without going to the board
and accuses him of conflict
of interest, self-dealing and
abuse of public office. A least
$100,000 should be paid back
to taxpayers, Briggs said.
According to the lawsuit,
Ward illegally authorized
salary boosts for senior
managers, including Duzyk.
Duzyk is accused of acting
improperly in her role as
chief financial officer.
Ward was hired as county
superintendent in 2006 and
signed a $265,000-a-year
contract, which has been
amended over the years with
retroactive salary increases
that raised his base compensation to $331,736. In 2010, he
took a 3.8% increase that the
board had approved two
years earlier but he opted to
postpone.
A separate claim filed
July 1 by attorney Michael
Aguirre seeks wages and
benefits
San
Ysidro
employees allege they lost
from 2013 to 2015 when the
county office had financial
oversight of the district
while it was on the brink of
bankruptcy.
At the time, Duzyk had
been appointed by Ward to
serve as San Ysidro’s fiscal
advisor and was working
with school officials to balance the district’s budget.
A precursor to a lawsuit,
the claim accuses Ward and
Duzyk of hiding money from
the district to cover up its
true fiscal condition. Members of two employee unions
— the San Ysidro Education
Assn. and California School
Employees Assn. — allege
the two were intent on taking over the district.
San Ysidro was in negative certification at the time,
meaning it did not have
enough money to pay its bills
in the current and subsequent two fiscal years. The
status is determined by the
district and confirmed by
the county office, which
oversees the budget matters
of the county’s 42 school districts.
San Ysidro teachers went
on strike in 2014 rather than
accept pay cuts. They insisted there was money in a
books-and-supplies account
to prevent a strike and save
the district’s finances.
The claim alleges teachers have learned that San
Ysidro district “officials have
admitted they were directed
by county Office of Education leadership to present
the district’s budget in an extremely negative (an inaccurate) light during negotia-
tions so as to mislead and
deceive the association.”
A grand jury report released in May found financial mismanagement that
stretched back decades in
the district and accused the
county office of shoddy oversight. In turn, the county office issued a statement that
said the grand jury misunderstands the laws governing its role in providing financial oversight to school
districts and, as a result,
came to the wrong conclusions in assessing the adequacy and appropriateness
of its oversight and guidance.
In the year since new San
Ysidro board members hired
a new superintendent, the
district has balanced its
budget and given its educators and support staff raises.
The county board has
been pushing for new bylaws
that would give elected
trustees more power to establish and fund programs,
make personnel decisions
and set salaries. Meanwhile,
teachers, who represent
about 10% of the agency’s
workforce, are seeking more
input in decisions.
With an annual operating
budget of nearly $600 million, the San Diego County
Office of Education offers
support services — in the
way of budget oversight, curriculum development and
teacher training — to the region’s 42 school districts.
The office also operates
schools for foster youths, severely disabled students, the
homeless and those in juvenile hall.

Magee and Huard write for
the San Diego
Union-Tribune.
Herman Quillion, an outof-work welder from Georgia, wasn’t worried about a
serial killer striking homeless men in San Diego “until
it was time to lay down to
sleep.”
“I was sleeping with a
bat,” said Quillion, 41, who
made his way to San Diego
two months ago in hopes of
finding work. “Sometimes I
couldn’t sleep, when I first
heard about it.”
His was a familiar story of
homeless men, several of
whom expressed relief that a
suspect was in custody.
Homicide investigators
on Friday arrested Jon
David Guerrero, 39, of San
Diego, saying he is the man
behind the attacks.
Kenneth Moyd, 62, resting on a trolley station
bench, said the arrest meant
“one less thing to worry
about” on San Diego’s
streets, where he has lived
since 1980.
One man stopped rummaging in trash cans at C
Street and Fifth Avenue long
enough to acknowledge he’d
been using “the buddy system” for safer sleeping. “My
hat’s off to SDPD for catching him,” he said before moving on.
Joshua Jones, 22, spent
three months traveling to
San Diego from Maine, arriving about the time the
killings started. He and six
to 10 other homeless
individuals have been bedding down near one another
in a parking lot, with the
business owner’s permission. “I’m really glad he got
caught,” he said.
He and scores of other
homeless across the city
were aware that a man was
creeping up on people, some
while they slept outdoors,
and inflicting major wounds
on them with some type of
weapon that police won’t describe. Three of the five victims died.
The attacks started July
3, when a man was killed and
his body burned in Bay Park.
The next day a man was
killed in Ocean Beach and
another man was critically
injured in the Midway District. A fourth man was attacked in downtown San Diego on July 6 and died three
days later. The last attack, in
Golden Hill on Friday, was
on a man who survived.
Guerrero was caught about
an hour later. Police said
there is clear evidence
linking him to the crimes.
Guerrero’s father, Jose
Guerrero, reached by telephone at his home on Saturday, took issue with the
police view.
“I think he’s innocent,” he
said of his son, adding that
his lawyer has advised him
not to talk about the case. “I
don’t want to make things
worse. I think he’ll be released soon. Last night
there was another killing,
and my son was in jail.”
A man was found dead
about 10 a.m. Friday, not at
night, along Kettner Boulevard. Homicide investigators called the death suspicious but have not said why,
nor have they identified the
man.
Christopher Middleton,
33, who has been sleeping in
a tent on an East Village
sidewalk for a few weeks,
said his girlfriend told him
about the killer.
“I thought, that’s nice,
now I have to worry about
‘I’ve never been
in a city that has a
mass murderer.
You don’t hear
about that stuff in
Pennsylvania —
especially not in
Erie.’
— Christopher
Middleton,
33, who has been sleeping in a
tent on an East Village sidewalk
some crazy guy. I’ve never
been in a city that has a mass
murderer. You don’t hear
about that stuff in Pennsylvania — especially not in
Erie,” Middleton said of his
hometown, where he once
worked as a mechanic.
Nearby, a 43-year-old
man who identified himself
only as Robert, an accountant from Phoenix who is
hoping for work in San Diego, said he arrived in town a
few days before the first attack.
“For the first two or three
nights, I was really worried
about that,” he said. “Anytime anyone went by me, I’d
sit bolt upright. After a few
weeks — it’s weird — you get
used to it.”

RESIDENTS gathered outside a Church of Scientology center in Vermont Knolls take an oath to become united as a community.
A call to end the violence
[Game, from B1]
Gangs Nation,” was supported by Nation of Islam
leader Louis Farrakhan, according to advertisements.
It was held at a Church of
Scientology center in the
Vermont Knolls neighborhood. Rapper Snoop Dogg,
who was billed as a co-host of
the event, did not attend.
In his Instagram post
Sunday morning, before
news spread of the killings of
three police officers in Baton
Rouge, La., the Game wrote
that the meeting would be a
“much needed conversation” about how participants could do their part
to stop urban violence.
“Because the sad truth
that no one wants to face is,
before we can get OUR
LIVES TO MATTER to anyone else … We have to show
that OUR LIVES MATTER
to US!!!!,” he wrote.
The speakers Sunday included current gang members, former gang members
who now work to help quell
violence and Big Boy, a local
radio personality.
Ben “Taco” Owens, who
supervises gang-intervention workers at a local nonprofit, told the group that he
believes “that you’re here because you want to change.”
“This is a very, very critical moment in our city and in
our lives,” he said, adding
that two people were killed
in Gardena, where he is
from, in one week.
Michael “Big Mike” Cummings, a gang-intervention
worker in Watts, said he is
“sick and tired of losing our
babies.”
“The only thing that
needs to be divided by colors
is our laundry,” he said.
After the event, Dom
Black, a 22-year-old who was
raised in the surrounding
neighborhood of Westmont,
stood outside the church.
Black said he has been beat
up and shot at in his community and wants to see a
change.
“I came out here because
I feel like the change starts
inside,” he said.
Meanwhile, men and
women gathered inside the
church continued to sign a
banner declaring a Bloods
and Crips peace treaty.

Leslie was an only child
who was “adored by everyone” who knew him, said Antonella, who described him

to shoot and kill Bouhlel.
Identifying all of the victims has been a painstaking
process. French investigators informed the FBI that
Leslie was among the dead

Driver held after
string of attacks
A man has been arrested
after hitting a pedestrian,
ramming a police SUV headon and seriously injuring an
officer then stabbing a police
dog, authorities said Sunday.
Walnut Creek police said
in a statement that Rolando
Gonzalez, 33, tried to flee after striking the pedestrian
Saturday night, then ran
into the SUV. The pedestrian has a minor injury, and
the officer was seriously injured but is expected to survive.
Gonzalez hid in the
bushes after the crash. Officers used bean bag rounds
and Tasers on Gonzalez as
he resisted arrest. Police say
they also sent a dog after
him that he repeatedly
stabbed before he was subdued.
Gonzalez was taken to a
hospital for unspecified injuries. The dog is expected to
survive.

Where blind kids have no limits
[Braille, from B1]
understanding Braille is a
part.
But Christian’s honor
comes at a moment when
fewer blind or visually impaired students are learning
Braille — only 8.5% of them
— as the use of software that
turns written material into
audio soars. Some programs
report having difficulty recruiting new instructors for
blind students.
Christian
and
organizations representing
the blind say that without
Braille, their students will
never have the same tools as
their sighted peers. They
might not know how to spell
their own names.
Christian, who grew up in
Garden Grove, was born
with retinitis pigmentosa, a
condition that as a child
gave him low vision but
enough sight to learn how to
read big print.
It was only in college, at
Cal State Fullerton, that he
realized he had to learn
Braille. He was spending
hours with his face pressed
close to a video monitor as a
video magnifier projected
enlarged images onto a
screen. His eyes had started
burning badly. Something
had to change.
So he started to learn
Braille. “It took a long time,”
he said. “I think it has a lot to
do with why I’m here.”
He spent seven years
teaching at Nobel Middle
School in the Los Angeles
Unified School District and
moved back to Orange
County when his parents got
sick.
Christian
became
a
teacher, he said, because he
hoped to help children avoid
his steep learning curve.
At Clara Barton, Christian’s students are mainstreamed, meaning they
spend most of each day in
classes with their peers,
learning from the same curriculum. With younger students, he spends time
teaching
them
to
discriminate
between
shapes with their hands so
they can figure out which
dots are raised and what letters they form in Braille.
Older children come to him
when they need help with
their Braille readers, or writing an essay.
From the beginning, he
has gone above and beyond
to equip his students with
skills. At Nobel, he got the
idea to teach his students
wood shop.
Since then, Christian has
built many things, guided by
online blind woodworkers
groups. Now, he has a table
saw, band saw and lathe at
home. After he cuts boards,
his students use files and
rasps to shape them.
Christian’s
classroom
showcases
their
labor.
Braille text takes up more
space than print, and students had trouble fitting
books inside their desks. To
solve the problem, they built
vertical
wooden
desk
shelves. Later, they added
legs underneath the shelves
to make room for the Apex, a
small black Braille keyboard
that connects to the Internet. Students place their fingers atop the keys and feel
pins move up and down
against their skin, forming
each line of text.
Christian wishes he could
have learned Braille earlier
in life, as his students are doing. “It would have been an
entirely different experience,” he said. It would
have made reading easier as
his vision diminished.
According to the non-
Photographs by
KEITH CHRISTIAN has been Brennan Lamarra’s teacher since preschool, where he first taught the student the Braille alphabet.
WHEN SHE FIRST started to do woodworking in Christian’s class, Mina Lamarra, 8, said, “I wasn’t sure
what was going to happen.” Now, she is confident in her abilities, even recently creating a giraffe.
‘I want to give
the sense of “I can
make it, I can
build it, I can
do it.”’
—Keith Christian,
teacher of blind and visually
impaired students at
Barton Elementary School
profit American Printing
House for the Blind, about
60,000 students in the U.S.
were blind in 2014. Only 5,147
were primarily Braille readers.
Fourteen percent of
adults with visual disabilities had college degrees in
2013, according to the National Federation of the
Blind, and 32% had a high
school diploma or GED. Just
over 40% of working-age
adults with significant loss
of vision were employed in
2013.

Four open fire at
graduation party
One man is killed and
two others are hurt at
an Artesia celebration.
By Frank Shyong
Four people crashed a
backyard graduation party
in Artesia on Saturday night
and opened fire, killing one
man and wounding two others, authorities said.
The shooting occurred
about 10 p.m. in the 18000
block of Alburtis Avenue,
where authorities found
three men suffering from
gunshot wounds, said Deputy Lisa Jansen of the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department.
Allen J. Schaben Los Angeles Times
One man was pronounced dead at the scene,
and two other men were taken to a hospital, where they
were in fair condition,
Jansen said.
Detectives still are investigating whether anyone at
the party knew the men who
opened fire, said Sheriff ’s
Deputy Katrina Flores. All
three of the gunshot victims
were attending the party,
she said.
Authorities have not
identified any suspects, and
the motive for the shooting
is unknown, Jansen said.
Saturday’s homicide was
the third in Artesia in the
last 12 months, according to

Braille. But many people
now believe “the myth that
current technology can replace Braille,” said Chris
Danielsen, a spokesman for
the National Federation of
the Blind.
He contends that students who have some vision
should be taught Braille in
school because, like Christian’s, their sight probably
will decline.
One reason for Braille’s
current decline may be the
growing number of students
with multiple disabilities,
said Yue-Ting Siu, a Braille
educator and consultant.
Siu is about to become director of San Francisco
State’s program that trains
teachers for the blind, one of
two such training programs
in California. Together, they
produced 208 graduates
from 2011 to 2015 in a state in
which 3,670 students listed
visual impairment as their
primary disability in December 2015.
“It’s an area that not a lot
of people know about,” Siu
said.
The Braille Institute
organized the teacher of the
year competition in 2007 to
try to get the field some attention, though offerings
were lean when it solicited
nominations. Most years,
the average number of nominees was six, said national
programs director Sergio
Oliva. This year, 13 were
nominated.
And if it’s hard for districts to find qualified Braille
teachers, it’s also hard for a
Braille teacher to get enough
time with students to teach
them all they need to know.
Christian wants his students to feel unlimited.
Some are afraid to run
because of the risk of bumping into things. Christian
split a ski pole in half to make
it easier to pound it to the
ground. Then, he attached a
tether and had students
hold it while walking around
the pole. They followed the
circumference of a perfect
circle. After walking became
running, Christian added
bases so students could
better understand the arcs
of their runs.

MettaM, Cosette
Ogawa, Masao “Blackie”
Cosette Mettam, beloved mother,
grandmother, great-grandmother and
friend, died peacefully in her home
on December 14, 2015. She was 12
days shy of her 95th birthday. She
was born in Indiana on December 26,
1920 to Germaine Dubief Thrasher
and George Thrasher. She attended
Eagle Rock High School, graduating
in 1938. In May 1941 she married
Charles Mettam. They were married
for 49 years before his death in July
1990. They lived in Solana Beach,
California for the early years of their
marriage, then in Norwalk, California
for a brief time before settling in Culver
City, California in the mid 1950s. They
raised their three children, Charles Jr.,
Vickie and Rocky in the house that was
filled with happy memories for these
three children, 6 grandchildren and 8
great-grandchildren to come. Cosette
worked for 20 years as a Human
Resources Manager. She loved sewing
and embroidery, making all her own
dresses, and gifting most who knew
her with some beautiful treasures. She
loved meeting her friends on Sunday
morning at McDonalds for coffee.
She loved eating at Roll and Rye. She
loved reading the LA Times from cover
to cover. She loved doing word search
puzzles. When she was still able, she
loved walking her neighborhood and
waving at neighbors. But most of all,
she loved and treasured her family.
Masao “Blackie” Ogawa, born and
raised in Maui, HI; beloved husband,
father, and grandfather, passed away
peacefully at his home in Gardena on
June 15, 2016, at the age of 83.
He is survived by his loving wife,
Amy; and his two devoted daughters,
Sandy (Gary) Nakashima and Stacey
(Mark) Torii. He had five special
grandsons: Kyle and Reid Nakashima,
and Joey, Jared, and Jack Torii. He
is also survived by a sister, Satsue
Kanechika of Hawaii; brothers, Rex
(Grace) Ogawa and Kats (Helene)
Ogawa; sister-in-law, Teresa Ogawa;
and many nieces, nephews, and
additional relatives.
A private service was held on July 17,
2016, at the Gardena Buddhist Church.

(213) 626-0441
December 26, 1920 - December 14, 2015
Cosette was preceded in death by
her husband, daughter and grandson,
Richard Homel. She is survived by
sons: Charles Jr. and Robert (wife
Trisha), grandchildren: Gregory Homel,
Christopher Homel, Stacy Dempsey,
Lindsey Canizales and Lauren Small;
and great-grandchildren: Decker,
Laurel and Maryn Dempsey, Halle
and Max Homel and Gavin, Diego and
Mateo Canizales.
Cosette cherished her Aunt Leone
and Uncle Jack who helped raise
her. Her family is deeply grateful to
Jane, Leoni and neighbor Inga, who
surrounded and cared for her daily in
the last years of her life. She will be
deeply missed by all who knew her and
loved her and will be remembered for
her positive attitude and unconditional
love and friendship.

added a kickball.
Eventually, some students dropped the tether.
Brennan Lamarra, 12, a
loquacious kid from Fullerton, said he benefits from
Christian’s
hands-on
lessons. One recent day in
Christian’s classroom, he
dreamed up a design for a
mahogany cheese board.
Christian and Brennan
go way back. Christian
taught Brennan the Braille
alphabet back when he was
in preschool. “What other
teacher would spend seven
years with a student?” Brennan said.
Brennan’s sister, Mina, 8,
is also a disciple of Christian’s. Her favorite part has
been woodworking. When
she started shaping objects,
she said, “I didn’t know what
was going to happen.” Now
she’s so sure-handed, she recently made a giraffe.
When Mina grows up, she
wants to be a secret agent,
she says, as Whitney dozes
by her feet. Because she’s
stealthy. Because people will
look at her and think she’s
blind so she can’t do anything.
Thanks to Christian, she
knows better.

Northeast severe storms: Severe thunderstorms will target the
Northeast and eastern parts of the Ohio Valley as a cold front
slides through. Thunderstorms will also blanket the Southeast and
the Rockies while central portions of the country dry out.
Low clouds followed by sun: An upper-level trough of low pressure well to the north will be the driving
force for the onshore flow across California. Low clouds and fog will stretch into some inland valleys in
the morning. These clouds will clear to the coast by the late morning. Otherwise, sunny inland. Low
clouds and fog return late tonight and last into the morning Tuesday.

Reagan gave Gerald Ford a big scare in 1976
[Skelton, from B1]
governor with the uplifting
message flew to the convention committed to stopping
the president.
That was one huge difference between then and now
and why the #NeverTrump
movement has been
doomed from the start. He
may be highly unpopular,
but Trump has no rival
fighting to be the party’s
alternative standard bearer.
“Trump has gotten this
far because his opposition
could never consolidate
behind anyone,” says
Robert Naylor, a California
delegate in 1976, later the
Republican leader of the
state Assembly and now a
veteran lobbyist.
“One thing Trump has
proven is that philosophical
purity is not necessary to
get nominated. I don’t find
him charismatic at all, but
he does have the ability to
excite a lot of people.”
Weak anti-Trump forces
have banked on trying to
repeal a convention rule
that the Ford camp rammed
through in ’76: a requirement that delegates, on the
first ballot, be bound by the
wishes of their states’ primary voters. No “conscience” voting.
Strangely, Reagan’s
strategists didn’t aggressively contest that rule.
Instead, they staked their
insurgency on trying to force
a candidate to name his
running mate before the
nomination roll call.
They figured if Ford did
that, he would make enemies of several vice pres-

idential wannabes. And it
might mitigate some of
Reagan’s self-inflicted damage from having selected
liberal Sen. Richard B.
Schweiker of Pennsylvania
as his veep three weeks
earlier.
Reagan was desperately
trying to attract moderate
Rust Belt delegates. But the
surprise move angered
many Southerners.
I had followed Reagan on
a damage-control trip to
Mississippi, where one
delegate, asked about
Schweiker, told me: “I am
still chewing on him. I can’t
get him down.”
In Kansas City,
Californians were given
daily assignments to lobby
specific delegates from
other states. The main
organizer was Lyn Nofziger,
an aggressive former chief
political writer for Copley
newspapers who had been
Reagan’s first press secretary.
“Lyn instructed us how
to conduct ourselves,” Naylor recalls. “One of our delegates asked him, ‘What
should be our demeanor?’
Lyn answered, ‘The meaner
the better.’ ”
In fact, one of my most
vivid memories of that week
was Nofziger grabbing a
delegate from another state
by the collar and shoving
him into a tiny makeshift
enclosure on the convention
floor for a finger-jabbing,
intimidating lecture.
But the president had
unmatched powers of persuasion — White House
dinners, rides on Air Force
One and barrels of pork.
“A lot of people got
flights, got hospitals in their
districts, a few guys got
pardons,” Spencer remembers, chuckling.
The California delegation was relegated to the
back of the hall by Forddirected convention planners. From there, they
loudly cheered or booed,
and stood on their seats,
thumbs up or down depending on the situation. As the
week progressed they became more disruptive and
depressed.
Reagan narrowly lost the
test vote on the vice presidential mandate. That led
to Ford’s first ballot nomination by a relatively small
margin of 117 votes. California cast all 167 of its votes
for Reagan.
This week, all 172 California votes are in Trump’s
column.
Before Kansas City,
there hadn’t been a tightly
contested Republican convention in 24 years, since
Dwight D. Eisenhower beat
Sen. Robert Taft in 1952.
And there hasn’t been anything close for either party
since 1976.
Spencer thinks Reagan
strategists blew it by choosing a procedural rule for the
test vote. If they’d voted on a
philosophical question or
just gone straight to the
nomination roll call, he says,
“I don’t think we could have
held our delegates. Many
loved Reagan.”
The morning after the
convention ended, Reagan
thanked the California
delegation. Reciting an
English warrior’s ballad, he
said: “I’ll lay me down and
bleed awhile. Though I am
wounded, I am not slain. I
shall rise and fight again.”
There weren’t many dry
eyes. And the triumphant
1980 campaign was
launched.

ARIZONA 6
DODGERS 5
By Andy McCullough
Gerry Penny European Pressphoto Agency
IT WAS A DAY OF FIRSTS for Henrik Stenson, whose first Grand Slam tournament title was also the first by a Scandinavian
man. The Swede’s 264 total was best ever at a major, and his 63 on Sunday equaled the lowest final round at any of the four Slams.
AN UNDER
STATEMENT
PHOENIX — The tying
run rushed into third base,
and after an afternoon of offensive futility, Dodgers
Manager Dave Roberts allowed optimism to fill his
mind. His team had pushed
across five runs during the
final two innings against Arizona, including three in the
ninth. Now there were runners at the corners and only
one out. Two days of miserable situational hitting could
be erased in one moment.
“I thought we were in a
good spot,” Roberts said
afterward, inside a clubhouse silenced by a 6-5 defeat.
Into the batter’s box
stepped Yasiel Puig. He
faced Jake Barrett, a rookie
searching for his second career save. Barrett opted to
challenge his more experienced foe. Puig fouled off a
fastball at the waist. He
swung through a fastball at
the knees, then laid off an offspeed pitch in the dirt. A

Stenson sets major record with 264 total, 20 below par, to outduel Mickelson
British Open
leaderboard
By Tod Leonard
TROON, Scotland — Phil Mickelson can count the heartaches and
disappointments in his 11 secondplace finishes in majors. He can second-guess himself for his shots on
the 18th hole at Winged Foot in 2006
or his poor wedge play down the
stretch at Merion in 2013.
In his mind, those were U.S.
Open titles that he frittered away.
On Sunday in the British Open
at Royal Troon, Mickelson shot a
bogey-free six-under-par 65 and lost
to the round of a lifetime by someone else.
Henrik Stenson’s eight-under 63
tied Johnny Miller for the lowest final round in major championship
history. The Swede’s winning total
of 264 was the lowest 72-hole score
ever in the majors, and his 20-underpar finish matched Jason Day's

record for lowest under par, set at
last year's PGA Championship.
The two-man duel was scintillating stuff, a back-and-forth match
that will go down as among the
greatest in history. Stenson didn’t
get the lead for good until the 14th
hole, and then he emphatically
seized the Claret Jug — and his first
major title — with three straight
birdies.

18 DAYS TO SUMMER GAMES
Olympic golf field takes shape
The men’s competition in Rio is short on winners of major events
By Tod Leonard
TROON, Scotland — In October of 2009,
when the International Olympic Committee
decided to bring golf back to the Olympics for
the first time since 1904, the top four ranked
male players in the world were Tiger Woods,
Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker and Lee Westwood.
Those guys must be wondering now: Is
there an over-40 portion of the Rio Games?
Woods hasn’t played a competitive round
in 11 months; Stricker is semiretired; and
though Mickelson, who played beautiful in a
British Open loss, and Englishman Westwood have their flashes of strong play, none
were in position to qualify for their respective
country when the deadline arrived a week
ago.
Maybe that was predictable, given we’re
nearly seven years removed from the official
announcement, but the International Golf
Federation might beg for those four under
the circumstances.
They could see the aging of the elite
players coming, but not the Zika virus. The
potential for getting the illness has been the
spoken reason used to severely diminish the
field before any golfer was in danger of a mosquito bite in Brazil. [See Olympic golf, D2]

ANGELS 8, CHICAGO 1
By Pedro Moura
Chicago White Sox Manager
Robin
Ventura
watched Jered Weaver with
a unique mix of amazement,
bewilderment, and resentment Sunday afternoon at
Angel Stadium.
“You sit there,” Ventura
said, “and you marvel at the
fact that it’s not going very
hard.”
Sunday was the second
time Ventura has scrutinized the Angels’ righthander this season. The results this time were the
same as the last; in Chicago
in April, Weaver soft-tossed
seven innings of one-run
baseball, striking out two
and walking two.
This time, Weaver struck
out one and walked one, yet
lobbed seven sharp one-run
innings, as the Angels finished off their best weekend
in months by routing the
White Sox, 8-1.

Sparks fail to

start to WNBA
season, L.A. is routed.

ATLANTA — The Sparks
fell short of the fastest start
in WNBA history Sunday
when they lost to the Atlanta
Dream, 91-74.
The Sparks (20-2) had
tied the 1998 Houston
Comets, who finished the
regular season 27-3, for the
fastest start. The loss also
snapped the Sparks’ WNBA
record nine-game road winning streak to open a season.
Layshia Clarendon had
17 points, eight rebounds
and six assists for Atlanta.
Angel McCoughtry had 17
points, Bria Holmes scored a
career-high-tying 15 and
Tiffany Hayes added 14
points for the Dream (12-11).
Elizabeth Williams had nine
points and 12 rebounds as
Atlanta outrebounded the
Sparks, 42-34. It was
Holmes’ second career
start.
McCoughtry scored five
straight points during a 12-4
run to close the third quarter, giving the Dream their
biggest lead to that point,
69-57, going into the fourth.
After Candace Parker hit
a three and Chelsea Gray
made a layup to pull the
Sparks within nine, Clarendon converted a three-point
play to make it 78-66 with
5:56 left and Atlanta led by
double figures the rest of the
way.
Nneka Ogwumike had 26
points on eight-for-11 shooting, and 12 rebounds for the
Sparks. Parker added 22
points, nine rebounds and
five assists.
The Sparks, who came in
allowing 75.1 points per
game, gave up their secondhighest point total this
season.

With 16 eligible men withdrawing, some shine has
been taken off the competition, though it clearly
created a golden opportunity for those remaining.
“All these golfers who

The format for the
Olympic golf, which has
been criticized by some
players for not incorporating teams or something
other than stroke play, will
be 72 holes for 60 players in
the men’s and women’s
fields. The venue is the
Olympic Course that was
built on the edge of a nature
preserve specifically for the
Games and designed by
American architect Gil
Hanse.
Two-time Masters winner Bubba Watson, at No. 5
in the world, is the topranked player in the tournament and has expressed patriotic enthusiasm for the
Olympics, but the favorite
‘I think after a
pretty long and
successful career,
it would be pretty
cool to have an
Olympic medal
hanging next to
some of the nice
trophies I have at
home. So I’m
going to try my
hardest.’
Gregory Shamus Getty Images
LYDIA KO , the top-ranked player in the world in
women’s golf, is representing New Zealand in the
Olympics. She has won two majors.
—Henrik Stenson,
Swedish golfer and winner of
this year’s British Open
should be Sweden’s Henrik
Stenson.
Ranked No. 6 before he
won the British Open on
Sunday, Stenson is the
hottest player in golf, having
also won a European Tour
event in Germany recently.
“I think after a pretty long
and successful career, it
would be pretty cool to have
an Olympic medal hanging
next to some of the nice trophies I have at home,” Stenson said. “So I’m going to try
my hardest.”
Beyond Watson, the rest
of the American contingent
is Rickie Fowler, Patrick
Reed and Matt Kuchar.
They have combined for 14
PGA Tour victories, but
none has won a major.
Could a gold medal be
Spaniard Sergio Garcia’s
legacy beyond his Ryder
Glyn Kirk AFP/Getty Images
SERGIO GARCIA , of
Spain, has 22 top-10 finishes in majors.
Cup record? Garcia, who
posted his 22nd major top 10
in the British Open, hasn’t
been able to seize golf ’s biggest prizes, but Rio might be
the perfect circumstance for
him.
The field is light on major
winners, with only four:
Stenson, Watson, Germany’s Martin Kaymer and Ireland’s Padraig Harrington.
Contrast that to the
women’s draw, for which all
of the top players will be
present, and that should
make for a truly international battle, compelling for
its youth versus experience
possibilities.
World No.1Lydia Ko, who
is Korean born but will represent New Zealand, was 12
years old when Olympic golf
was announced. She has
won two majors and 14
LPGA Tour events.
Canada’s Brooke Henderson is even younger, at 18,
and recently outdueled Ko
in the Women’s PGA Championship. Ko then blew a
fourth-round lead in the U.S.
Women’s Open, but responded by winning the
Marathon Classic on Sunday.
The American players
are Lexi Thompson, Stacy
Lewis and Gerina Pillar. At
31, Lewis is the most accomplished, with 11 victories, including two majors.

FINAL ROUND AT A GLANCE
WINNER: Henrik Stenson closed with a 63 to win by three shots.
LEFTY'S LAMENT: Runner-up Phil Mickelson shot a bogey-free 65
and still finished three shots behind. It was his 11th runner-up in a
major.
RECORD BOOKS: Stenson set a major championship record at
264 and tied major records at 20 under and with a 63.
SHOT OF THE DAY: Stenson holed a 50-foot birdie putt at No.15 for
a two-shot lead with three holes to play.
BEST OF THE REST: J.B. Holmes closed with a 69 to finish third, 14
shots behind.
CONSOLATION PRIZE: Steve Stricker finished fourth, which will
get him into the PGA Championship and next year's Masters and
British Open.
CANCER SUVIVOR: England's Matthew Southgate shot 69 to secure a place in the top 15, a year after he underwent surgery for testicular cancer.
SWEDISH DELIGHT: Stenson is the first Swedish man to win a major. Four Swedish women have won LPGA majors, led by Annika
Sorenstam's 10.
KEY STATISTIC: Stenson and Mickelson had a better-ball score of
59 in the final group.
NOTEWORTHY: This was the third time a major championship
yielded two rounds of 63 for the week with Mickelson (first round)
and Stenson (final round). The others were Riviera in the 1995 PGA
Championship (Michael Bradley, Brad Faxon) and Royal St.
George's in the 1993 British Open (Payne Stewart, Nick Faldo).
QUOTEWORTHY: “A 65 in the final round of a major is usually good
enough to win.” — Mickelson.

ANDREW “BEEF” JOHNSTON acknowledges the crowd on the 18th green during the final round of the
British Open. Johnston shot a two-over-par 73 but said of the experience, “I’ll remember it forever.”
NOTES
After strong start, ‘Beef’
finishes in eighth place
By Tod Leonard
TROON, Scotland — The
roar could be heard for hundreds of yards on the
grounds at Royal Troon.
When Andrew Johnston
holed a birdie putt on the
first green of the British
Open on Sunday, the gallery
was stirred into a frenzy.
“Beef ” was off to a roaring
start, and there was a glimmer of hope that he might be
the Open’s next Champion
Golfer of the Year.
It wasn’t to be, as Johnston struggled in shooting a
two-over-par
73
that
dropped him into eighth
place with a three under total.
Still, in the last 200 yards
of his walk up the 18th,
Johnston heard a rousing
ovation and the chants of
“Beef! Beef! Beef!”
He took off his hat and
raised his arms triumphantly.
“I’ll remember it forever,”
said the 27-year-old former
mini-tour player from North
London.
Johnston birdied three of
his first four holes, but
couldn’t make another after
that, and scored 38 on the
back nine.
“It was probably slightly
disappointing the way I
played,” Johnston said. “I
started off pretty good, but I
don’t think my short game
was good enough today. I
didn’t putt that well.
“There was a better score
to be had, but I gave it my best and that’s what I come off
with — no regrets.”

STEVE STRICKER tees off on the final day of the
British Open. Stricker shot 69 and finished fourth.
Stenson dedicates
win to friend
In his remarks at the
awards ceremony, Henrik
Stenson said he was dedicating his win to an
American friend, Mike Gerbich, who died of cancer at
age 74 on Wednesday in
Scottsdale, Ariz. Stenson
posted a picture on Instagram of himself, looking very
young, posed with Gerbich
at a golf outing.
The two met in Dubai
years ago. “He was a very
keen golfer and a great
man,” Stenson said in his
news conference. “He’s always been there as a big supporter of mine, and in good
days and bad days he always
sent me messages and been
out at some events.”
Stricker rocks at 49
Steve Stricker may be
playing a limited schedule at
the age of 49, but he’s showing no signs of letting up
competitively.
He shot 69 in the final
round — with a double-bogey on the par-three 17th —
and finished in fourth place
at five under. As a top-10 finisher, Stricker will be invited
back to the British Open
next year. It also ensures his
return to the Masters.
“It’s a lot of spinoffs,”
Stricker said. “That’s the
great thing about playing
golf out here professionally.
There are a lot of carrots
dangling.
When
you’re
playing well, you’re rewarded and you get to do
some pretty cool things.”
Stricker tied for second in
June in the FedEx St. Jude
Classic. His best finish in a
major is second in the 1998
PGA Championship.
Monty’s quick round
Troon
member
Colin
Montgomerie had a strange
final round. Last in the field
after
Saturday,
Montgomerie was the first off the
tee on Sunday and played
with a marker, Troon’s head
pro. He had been honored to
be the first player off the tee
on Thursday morning.
On Sunday, he played in 2
hours 50 minutes, shot 76
and finished at 17 over.
“Everyone in the scorer’s
tent and even our own scorer
said that was refreshing, and
it’s the way to play golf,”
Montgomerie said.
“I’m tired now, very
tired,” the 53-year-old said.
“I’ve been the leader in the
clubhouse again — second
time this week.”
Notable
Among the top-four
ranked players in the world,
Rory McIlroy fared the best.
He closed with a 67 and tied
for fifth at four under.
Dustin Johnson (70) tied for
ninth at two under. A year after coming within one shot of
a playoff in the Open, Jordan
Spieth tied for 30th at two
over. He shot his best score
of the week on Sunday with
68. World No. 1 Jason Day
(71) tied for 22nd at one over.
The “Postage Stamp”
par-three eighth hole wasn’t
such a beast. It ranked as
only the11th-hardest hole for
the week. There were 11 double-bogeys and 10 “others”
scored in four rounds. Matt
Kuchar’s seven in the fourth
round tied for the secondhighest score at the eighth
since 1997.

Stenson’s first major title is one for record books
[British Open, from D1]
Yet Mickelson, 46, was going to need time to process
whether all that great play
meant much since he lost,
though his previous five major wins will no doubt be of
some long-term comfort.
Mickelson’s 17-under total would have won all but
two Opens over the last century. In the first round, if his
birdie putt on the 18th hole
had not spun out of the cup,
he would have been the first
player in history to shoot 62
in a major.
“Yeah, I’m not sure how
I’m going to feel about that,”
a subdued Mickelson said.
“I’m proud of the way I
played. I don’t look back on
anything and say, ‘I should
have done this differently or
that.’ I played well enough to
win this championship by a
number of strokes, and I get
beat by three strokes.
“You know,” he reflected,
“it’s not like I have decades
left of opportunities to win
majors, so each one means
a lot to me. And I put in my
best performance today.
Played close to flawless golf
and was beat.”
The thought Mickelson
said he was left with: “What
do I need to do?”
Maybe birdie every hole.
Mickelson managed four
birdies and an eagle Sunday,
but Stenson overpowered
him with 10 birdies. Once on
each nine, Stenson had four
birdies in a five-hole stretch.
“I had about a 40-, 45footer on 15 and I'm thinking
I've got to make that,” Mickelson said. “I had to make
30-, 40-footers just to try to
keep pace with him, and
wasn't able to do it there in
the end.”
Stenson, 40 and ranked
No. 6 in the world, became
the first Scandinavian man
to win a major because he
enjoyed the usual precision
with his irons while finding a
putting prowess he’d never
quite displayed like this before. Moreover, he showed a
resolve that he’d never
tapped into this deeply.
“It's not something you
want to run around and
shout, but I felt like this was
going to be my turn,” he said.
“. . . I think that was the extra
self-belief that made me go
all the way this week.”
Facundo Arrizabalaga European Pressphoto Agency
PHIL MICKELSON could only tip his cap to Henrik
Stenson, left, who made 10 birdies to win an epic duel.
In conditions that were
tough and windy early, but
turned benign and sunny on
the back nine, Stenson and
Mickelson laughably lapped
the field. J.B. Holmes closed
with a 69 and finished in
third, 14 strokes behind
Stenson.
At the other end of the
board, Greg Chalmers made
the cut, and he lost by —
count them — 41 shots.
The Stenson-Mickelson
match was being compared
to the 1977 Open Championship showdown between Jack Nicklaus and
Tom Watson at Turnberry,
dubbed “The Duel in the
Sun.” Watson prevailed by a
shot over Nicklaus and by 11
over third-place Hubert
Green.
“I was thinking about
that,” Mickelson said with a
slight smile. “I know I
wanted to be more of Tom in
that case than Jack.”
Down by one shot at the
outset, Mickelson immediately reversed the score
when he striped his approach to one foot at No. 1
and Stenson three-putted.
Over the next nine holes,
they halved with par only
three times while combining
to score eight birdies and an
eagle, with no bogeys.
Both birdied No. 10, but
Stenson fell into a tie when
he bogeyed 11 with a threeputt. It stayed that way until
Stenson made an 18-foot
birdie putt at 14.
“That stung,” Mickelson
said.
Then came the crushing
blow — Stenson putting
from off the green, at least 40
feet, and making birdie at 15.
“Absolute bomb,” Stenson said.
Mickelson still had a
chance to tie when he gave
himself an eagle chance at16,
but though his putt looked
like it would hit the cup dead
center, it broke off an inch
from the target and hung on
the edge. He had to settle for
birdie,
and
Stenson
matched him with a five-foot
birdie.
“I really thought I made
eagle on 16,” Mickelson said.
“I thought I’d get one back
there and be only one down
with two difficult holes to go.
I don’t know how that eagle
putt missed. . . . But it seems
there have been a couple of
putts like that this week.”
He smiled, obviously referring to the Thursday putt
on No. 18 for 62.
It was that kind of week
for Mickelson: Being great
just wasn’t good enough.

AROUND THE MAJORS
Indians’ Gomes
suffers injury
Cleveland catcher Yan Gomes
was carted off the field during the
fifth inning of Sunday's game
against the Minnesota Twins because of a right shoulder injury.
Running out a grounder to
third base, Gomes stepped awkwardly on first base as he tried to
avoid the swipe tag of first baseman Kennys Vargas, who was
pulled off the bag on the throw
from Eduardo Nunez. Gomes
landed on his shoulder as he tumbled to the ground.
Gomes’ right arm was put in a
sling before he gingerly walked to a
cart and left the field.
He had ended a hitless streak at
27 at-bats with a third-inning double that went off the foot of starter
Kyle Gibson and trickled into the
outfield through a hole at shortstop.
Etc.
Oakland left-hander Rich Hill,
the subject of trade speculation,
left the game against Toronto after
five pitches because of a blister on
a finger. ... The Cincinnati Reds optioned pitcher John Lamb to
triple-A Louisville and recalled
outfielder Kyle Waldrop. Lamb is
1-7 with a 6.43 earned-run average.
He gave up nine runs in two innings
of the Reds’ 9-1 loss to Milwaukee
on Saturday. Waldrop hit .313 in
nine games in his previous two
stints with Cincinnati.

DODGERS REPORT
No return date
for Kershaw
By Andy McCullough
PHOENIX — The story
remained the same with
Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw on Sunday morning.
Dodgers Manager Dave
Roberts declined to offer a
date for his return from the
disabled list. He spoke in
generalities, as he has since
Kershaw suffered a herniated disk in late June.
Kershaw threw a four-inning simulated game on Saturday at Dodger Stadium.
Roberts suggested the team
would need some time before Kershaw is cleared to
pitch.
“With Clayton, it’s contingent upon these next couple
days,” Roberts said before
Sunday’s
series
finale
against
the
Arizona
Diamondbacks. “He exerted
a lot of effort in that 60-pitch
live session. So we’ll see over
the next couple days how he
responds, and what would
be the next step.”
The Dodgers have not
listed a starter for Thursday’s game against the
Washington Nationals. Kershaw would be on four days’
rest for that outing. The
team could also opt to give
him extra rest and start him
Friday in St. Louis. “We’ve
been reluctant to put any return date for Clayton,” Roberts said. “We’ve got to defer
to his health, obviously.”
Pederson is due
back Tuesday
The Dodgers’ outfield
should stabilize on Tuesday
when Joc Pederson is expected to return from the
disabled list. Pederson
sprained the AC joint in his
shoulder when he crashed
into a wall in Milwaukee on
June 28. With Trayce
Thompson also on the shelf
because of lower back irritation, the team was forced to
use Yasiel Puig in center
field on Sunday.

YASIEL PUIG ducks as Arizona shortstop Nick
Ahmed throws to first for a double play in the sixth.
L.A. is unable to
gain on Giants
[Dodgers, from D1]
went foul. At last, Puig
swung through a below-theknees slider.
The end came soon after,
when Chris Taylor struck
out to strand two more runners, upping the team’s total
to 10 on the day.
Roberts reached out to
pat Puig on the back as his
outfielder descended into
the Dodgers dugout.
“He’s trying to do too
much,” Roberts said. “When
guys get in scoring position
and it gets hot, Yasiel, you
can see the tension. And he
starts to squeeze the bat too
much. I think it’s a case of
trying to do too much.”
The Dodgers (52-42)
started the second half with
a 13-run barrage Friday. But
the team ended this series
with a pair of defeats. During
a weekend when the division-leading Giants were
swept by lowly San Diego,
the Dodgers gained only one
game in the standings.
The spotlight tends to
find Puig, even on days like
Sunday, when one of his
teammates bore more responsibility for the defeat.
Kenta Maeda could not
complete five innings, unable
to
pacify
the
Diamondbacks lineup, and
dumped his team in a fiverun hole.
On the day before the AllStar break, Maeda authored
his most dominant outing as
a Dodger. He struck out 13
Padres during seven innings
of one-run baseball. He displayed confidence in his fastball, a rare achievement during his rookie season, his
first year away from Japan’s
Central League.
Maeda regressed Sunday. He could not bully the
Diamondbacks and induce
feeble swings on his slider.
Arizona battered him for
three runs in the first inning.
Maeda struggled to recover.
“I think the three runs in
the first inning really took a
toll,” Maeda said. “I couldn’t
get into my rhythm after
that.”
Maeda played with an
unorthodox
group
of
defenders behind him. Roberts did not assemble his
lineup by dropping names
into a hat and plucking them
out at random; it only appeared that way. He fashioned a batting order packed
with right-handed hitters to
face Diamondbacks lefthander Robbie Ray. Puig
played center field.
Puig wore a special pair of
shoes for the occasion. A
friend in Los Angeles designed cleats for him with
broadcaster Vin Scully’s visage adorned on the side and
the phrase “Win for Vin!”
near the laces.
“I play baseball, and I like
the way he narrates,” Puig
said through an interpreter.
“After 67 years of work, he deserves his respect.”
Puig had not started in
center field since the final
game of the 2014 regular
season. He did not wait long
for action. With two runners
aboard, third baseman Jake
Lamb hit a single into center. Puig dived for it, only to
see the ball bounce in front of
him for an RBI single.
Up next, Arizona outfielder
Brandon
Drury
smacked an 89-mph fastball
into right-center. Puig could
not cut the baseball off, and
it rolled to the warning
track. Drury received credit
for a two-run double.
Lamb struck again in the
third when he walloped a
hanging curveball for a solo
home run. He devastated
the Dodgers this weekend,
hitting the tying double off of
Kenley Jansen on Saturday
and tripling and scoring the
winning run three innings
later.
“When you make a mistake over the plate, he makes
you pay,” Roberts said. “And
he’s seeing the ball really
well.”
In the fifth, Maeda opted
for five consecutive offspeed
pitches to Ray. Ray took advantage of a flat changeup
and doubled. Michael Bourn
flicked a curveball into the
left-field corner for an RBI
double.
Maeda exited, and the
Dodgers drifted toward a defeat. The offense awakened
in the eighth when Justin
Turner hit a two-run homer.
Corey Seager drilled his
third double of the game to
bring in a run in the ninth.
Turner followed up with a
two-run single.
After another single by
rookie outfielder Andrew
Toles, it was up to Puig. He
could not catch up to the
fastballs of Barrett. And he
could not handle his offspeed choices. He heard his
manager’s rationale for his
struggle, but did not agree.
“It’s not that I’m squeezing the bat too hard,” Puig
said. “It’s that I’m not connecting. But there are [68]
games to go. We’ll be all
right.”

Focus is on scoring runs,
not on hitting homers
By Pedro Moura
The Angels entered Sunday’s game having hit only 84
home runs in 2016, the fifthfewest in Major League
Baseball and the secondfewest in the American
League. They had not
launched one for seven
games until Albert Pujols
did so in Sunday’s first inning at Angel Stadium
against the Chicago White
Sox.
It was a trait General
Manager Billy Eppler recognized and accepted when
assembling the roster over
the off-season, opting for
contact ability over power.
Although it has not led to the
sort of season that was envisioned, the Angels have
struck out less than any
other club.
“We’re definitely a team
that thinks we can score
runs without a home run,”
Angels
Manager
Mike
Scioscia said. “We’re scoring
runs without hitting home
runs, and they’ll come. We
have guys in our lineup with
some power.
“They’re just in a little dry
spell right now. Those home
runs will come, but until they
do, you still have to generate
offense. We’re doing a good
job of that.”
The Angels had homered
more than the median major
league team in each of the
last four seasons, spanning
Pujols’ tenure with the team.
Pujols, who had two tworun homers Sunday, said
their home run total did not
matter, as long as the offense
was scoring runs — and they
are on pace to put up 77 more
runs than a year ago.
“You guys always focus
on negative stuff,” Pujols
said in response to a question about the homer-less
stretch.
“Who
cares
about
homers? At the end of the
day, who cares if we go deep
or not?”
Short hops
The Angels scratched
catcher Geovany Soto from
their lineup 90 minutes before Sunday’s game and inserted Jett Bandy in his
stead. Soto was experiencing left knee discomfort,
the Angels announced. He
tore the meniscus in his right
knee in May and missed
nearly two months. …
Bullpen coach Scott Radinsky will travel with the An-
gels on their upcoming trip
to Houston and Kansas City,
he said. Radinsky had been
replaced by triple-A pitching coach Erik Bennett for
recent trips after he experienced heart abnormalities
after a game in Oakland in
April. He underwent subsequent triple-bypass surgery.
He resumed coaching while
the team was at home last
month.
Outfielder Craig Gentry
moved his rehab assignment to triple-A Salt Lake
on Sunday and could rejoin
the Angels shortly. He has
been away from the team
since May1, first because of a
lumbar spine strain and
then because of a “personal
medical condition.’

Twitter: @pedromoura
Weaver benefits from time off
[Angels, from D1]
man Todd Frazier said the
key to facing Weaver was to
approach him as a knuckleball pitcher: wait on everything, then wait some more.
“Once you rush,” he said
then, “he’s going to get you.”
Weaver caught Frazier
rushing Sunday. The man
nearly fell down attempting
to time a curveball clocked
in the mid-60s, as Weaver
adeptly mixed in slow offerings among his 86 pitches.
He also fired his fastest fastball of the season — 87.5 mph
— to Frazier, and averaged a
season-high 85 mph overall.
“The speed isn’t anything to alarm you,” Ventura
said. “But he almost throws
it under anything that’s a
comfortable hitting speed.”
Said Angels Manager
Mike Scioscia: “He got a little frisky with his fastball,
which was good to see. He
was letting it hum a little bit.
He was going after guys.”
Twenty-four of the 26
batters Weaver faced hit into
all sorts of soft contact as he
lowered his 2016 earned-run
average to 5.02. He has an 8-7
record and has contributed
positively to the team, according to the wins above replacement metric.
All the aforementioned
achievements were considered improbable by scouts
who observed him this
spring. In one March start,
Weaver’s fastball sat at an
unserviceable 79 mph. He
benefited Sunday, he said,
from the 10 days of rest since
his last start, before the AllStar break.
“I don’t think I’ve ever
had that much time off in
the course of a season,”
Weaver said
In Sunday’s first inning,
Weaver
walked
Adam
Eaton, the only White Sox
hitter who performed well
Sean M. Haffey Getty Images
JERED WEAVER struck out one, walked one and
gave up one run in seven sharp innings against the
White Sox. The Angels swept the three-game series.
on the weekend, and then
yielded a pop fly to Jose
Abreu that appeared bound
to drop. Gregorio Petit
scampered out to short
right field to corral it and unleashed a quick throw to
erase Eaton.
Weaver threw up his
hands in elation and held
them parallel to his head for
several seconds, then faced
little trouble thereafter. The
lone run he gave up came in
the third, when Eaton
doubled in Omar Narvaez, a
Chicago catcher making his
major league debut.
The Angels scored twice
in the first inning, four times
in the fourth, and twice
more in the fifth inning.
The last time Albert Pujols faced Jacob Turner, four
years ago, he singled in a run
in his first at-bat and homered in his second. Turner
was removed before Pujols
could face him again.
On Sunday, facing Turner and feeling rejuvenated
from what he described as
one of the best All-Star
breaks of his career, Pujols
homered in his first at-bat
and homered again in his
second. The two drives, to
center and then to left,
traveled a combined 858
feet. Again, Turner was
pulled before Pujols could
bat a third time — this time
just as he approached the
plate in the fifth inning.
His
replacement,
Michael Ynoa, walked Pujols to load the bases without an out, and Ji-Man Choi
pushed in a run via a sacrifice fly. Todd Cunningham
followed with a run-scoring,
outcome-securing double.
The Angels outscored
Chicago by 15 runs over the
three-game sweep.
Even better for the club,
reliever Joe Smith pitched a
scoreless ninth inning Sunday and third baseman
Yunel Escobar picked him
up with a superb defensive
play. Both players are
primed to be dealt before
the Aug. 1 nonwaiver trade
deadline, and opposing
scouts are observing them
intently.
Smith,
perhaps
the
surest bet to leave as an impending free agent, cannot
afford to fret about the probability because he has struggled so much this season.
“I’ve got too much to
worry about right now,” he
said. “I’m worried about getting outs.”

Kenseth wins at
New Hampshire
staff and wire reports
Matt Kenseth pulled away down
the stretch Sunday to win the Sprint
Cup race at Loudon, N.H.
The victory was Kenseth’s second
this season and the 38th in his career.
However, NASCAR said his No. 20 Toyota failed a post-race laser inspection
system test and will be brought to the
research and development center in
Concord, N.C., for more evaluation.
Tony Stewart finished second and
strengthened his bid for a spot in the
Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in his final Cup season. Joey
Logano was third. Martin Truex Jr.
and Kyle Busch each led more than120
laps before fading.
Matt Kenseth

The Golden State Warriors resigned center Anderson Varejao, who
averaged 2.6 points in 22 games after
signing with them on Feb. 22, four days
after he was waived by Portland.

NOW 10 years old, “The Beatles Love” show at the Mirage has been subtly reworked. The number shown above: “Here Comes the Sun.”
A ‘Love’ renewed
Cirque du Soleil’s Beatles show gets a revamp and special visitors
By Randy Lewis
LAS VEGAS — The performance of Cirque du
Soleil’s “The Beatles Love”
show ended as most of the
4,500 performances over the
last decade have: A packed
house of 2,000 gave a
standing ovation for the
dozens of cast members,
who took bows while traversing the circular stage at
the Mirage Hotel and Casino
in Las Vegas.
Suddenly, however, the
cheering grew even louder as
ticket holders responded to
an exceptionally rare coda to
the show. Paul McCartney
and Ringo Starr stepped onstage at the conclusion of
Thursday’s official 10th-anniversary celebration of the
hit collaboration between
the French Canadian circus
troupe and the band that famously “changed the face of
pop music as we know it.”
“Thank you all for being

“This new version of ‘Love’ is

He was referring to a recently revamped rendition
of “Love” that now boasts
technical and other enhancements that weren’t
possible 10 years ago.
Not to disappoint the
numerous Beatles fans
young and old in the house,
McCartney and Starr bantered playfully with each
other and with the fans. “I
loved watching,” Starr, 76,
said with an easy laugh, and
both expressed their pride
and gratitude to the performers who bring the show
to life each night.

Woody Allen can’t outrun himself
His past keeps pace

Sometimes lately I wish
Woody Allen would just go

imagine the world without

Every new film from him
forces audiences to confront
again their feelings about
Allen as both artist and person and to reexamine the
evolution of those responses
over time. He has gone from
being the prototypical cool

‘Ghostbusters’ is
second at the box
office but exceeds
studio projections.
By Tre’vell Anderson
Who you gonna call?
Maybe not “Ghostbusters.”
Sony’s modern, bigbudget reboot of the classic
franchise failed to take over
the weekend box office. One
of the most polarizing films
of the summer movie season
— even before it premiered
— the picture took in an estimated $46 million in the U.S.
and Canada, coming in below some analyst projections of $50 million. The studio projected a more conservative $38 million to $40 million.
“We’re very happy with
our results,” said Rory Bruer, Sony’s distribution chief.
“It’s a terrific start for us.
Everybody brought their A
game, and it paid off.”
Such a performance is respectable but not outstanding, as the Paul Feig-directed comedy holds a $144million price tag, after tax rebates, according to the studio.

“THE BEATLES LOVE” remains popular after 10 years, but the creative team went back to incorporate new technology and make the Fab Four seem more present.
More ‘Love’ sent into the world
[‘Love,’ from E1]
views at its opening in 2006
and over the past decade has
been a commercial powerhouse as well: Nearly 8 million people have seen “Love,”
according to Cirque officials,
establishing an average attendance of about 88% capacity.
The one big difference between “Love” and the rest of
what the Beatles gave the
world during their continually evolving eight-year
recording career is that the
Cirque
show
remained
relatively stable during its
first decade.
That has changed with
the new iteration of “Love,”
the focal point of Thursday’s
star-studded event that also
drew Lennon’s son Sean
Ono Lennon; Harrison’s son,
Dhani Harrison; “Love” musical producer Giles Martin,
the son of the Beatles’ longtime producer George Martin, who died in March; writer-director Dominic Champagne; actor-director Ron
Howard, who is working on
the forthcoming Beatles
documentary “Eight Days a
Week”; and various other
celebs.
“Love” has “evolved,” a
word many of the show’s
creators like to use, and today features more of the
Beatles’ personalities themselves. The alterations to the
show are musical, structural
and technological and constitute a gamble for a
production that “was not a
broken show in any way,” as
Martin put it in an interview
with The Times.
Chief
among
the
changes: Audiences now see
images of the Beatles incorporated into many numbers.
There’s footage of McCartney singing “Yesterday,”
Starr’s face floats in an air
bubble during the rendition
of “Octopus’s Garden,”
Lennon’s face appears during “All You Need Is Love”
and Harrison is reunited
with his bandmates in different numbers.
The collaboration between the Beatles and
Cirque du Soleil that produced the “Love” show in
Las Vegas was initially
pegged for a 10-year run. But
the production, much like
the Fab Four themselves,
has proved to be an enduring
force.
It was clear from the outset that “Love” wasn’t your
garden-variety Las Vegas
entertainment diversion focusing on glitz and spectacle. It premiered June 30,
2006, with many of the Fab
Four’s most beloved songs
often radically reimagined
in mash-ups created by the
father-son Martin team.
Because the project
originally was conceived in
the late1990s by George Harrison and Cirque co-founder
Guy LaLiberte as a way for
the surviving members to
collaborate one more time,
the mission to see it to fruition took on extra emotional
heft after Harrison’s death
from cancer in 2001.
“Strawberry Fields Forever”
“STRAWBERRY Fields Forever,” top, and, above, a Ringo Starr apparition in “Octopus’s Garden.”
“The refresh came from
Dominic [Champagne, the
writer-director of ‘Love’]
and I saying we could make
the show better,” Giles Martin said. “We don’t want to
rest on our laurels. There
were a couple of things in the
pacing of the show we weren’t happy with, so we went
back and looked at it very
critically and came up with a
list of things of changes we
wanted to make.”
The creative team felt
that “this show needed to be
revamped,” Olivia Harrison
said in a separate interview,
relaxing in a room backstage
a few hours before the performance. “Ten years is a
long time, especially today,
when everything moves so
fast.”
She and Ono took on
much of the heavy lifting of
overseeing the creation and
execution of “Love” and have
closely monitored the show
over the years.
For Ono, the new version
brings immediacy to the
central message embodied
in the Beatles song that still
closes the production, “All
You Need Is Love.” That
message
sounded
that
much louder to all concerned Thursday on the day
of another deadly terrorist
attack, this one in Nice,
France.
“This is a new step forward for the Beatles, not a
repeat at all,” Ono, 83, said in
another backstage interview. “It’s really showing how
intelligent they are to bring
love in this big, big way, because right now the whole
world is suffering because of
a lack of love. They have
pointed out that the word
‘love,’ just like the word
‘imagine,’ is going to keep us
going forward. I think it’s a
beautiful turn.”
“One thing we realized
despite our criticisms,” Martin added, “is that we didn’t
want to break the heart of
the show. It still gets
standing ovations most
nights, so we don’t have a
broken show in any way.”
Keepers of the Beatles
legacy said they have relaxed over the years from
their initial reluctance to inject too much of the Fab
Four’s personalities directly
into the production.
In the original version,
that resulted in a more impressionistic creation. It still
evokes the destruction the
four lads experienced in
their native Liverpool during World War II from bombing by the Germans, the
harsh living conditions after
the war into which they soon
introduced their music after
the serendipitous meeting of
young rock ’n’ roll-loving
musicians Lennon and McCartney at a church picnic in
1957.
Rather than directly referencing the members of the
band, the show has turned
the spotlight on a multiplicity of characters from their
songs: lonely Eleanor Rigby
and Sgt. Pepper as well as
creatures that might inhabit
fanciful locations such as
Penny Lane, Strawberry
Fields and the Octopus’s
Garden.
Cirque created a world
inspired but not populated
by the Beatles, using the
soundtrack created by the
father-son Martin team,
who were given carte
blanche by the four Beatles
“principals” — McCartney,
Starr, Ono and Harrison —
to explore and explode the
group’s original recordings
into new forms.
“The thought process behind this was not to present
the Beatles as they were
then but to have Beatles in
the room with you,” Martin
said. “That was my intention, that was my dad’s intention. We knew we would
have to be careful not to
present a biopic of the
show.”
In the new iteration,
“Yesterday” has become
more of a showcase for McCartney stretching his musical wings, while Harrison’s
“While My Guitar Gently
Weeps” puts one of the
Cirque dancers in a pas de
deux with fluid lines of
animated movement and
shapes that are based on
many of Harrison’s own
drawings, Olivia Harrison
said.
“From a very personal
perspective,” Champagne
said in a separate interview,
“I felt like who I was 10 years
ago, to pretend I could be the
captain of this flagship of
Beatles and Cirque du Soleil
putting a show together.
There’s been so much trust. I
think everyone felt we were
intended to realize the
dream of George Harrison,
who wasn’t there to push the
idea. I felt we had a mandate
sent from an angel or a ghost
somewhere.
“I remember quite purely
that in Paul’s mind, in Olivia’s mind, it was George’s
show that we were doing.
Slowly and slowly it became
our show.”
On a technical level, the
evolved “Love” incorporates
technological developments
of the past decade to employ
effects that didn’t exist in
2006, Martin said.
“The Beatles were always
ahead of themselves,” Olivia
Harrison said, “and it’s the
same with the show. We were
trying to master something
that wasn’t able to be mastered at that time. The tools
that are available now have
allowed the show to become
what we all thought that it
was going to be in the beginning. I think now it’s completely right.”

THE GRADUATE art studios are being reconceived by architectural firm Johnston Marklee. A vote is next.
UCLA looks closely at art
A plan to improve
studios has a design
and a recent big gift.
Wheels are turning.
By Carolina
A. Miranda
When famed Los Angeles
gallerist Margo Leavin announced in May that she
would make a $20-million
donation to UCLA to remake the school’s grungy
graduate art studios, the
move was celebrated for the
investment it brought to an
important public educational institution.
Now the project is moving forward, as the UC
Board of Regents gathers
Tuesday to approve the
plan.
“We’ve had these plans,
but it sat fallow there for the
longest time,” says Lari
Pittman, a painter who has
taught in the UCLA art department for two decades.
“But Margo drove it. She
asked questions. She wanted to know things. She
wanted to meet the dean.
That’s how it slowly got its
legs.”
“It’s crucial,” says Levin.
“I don’t think public universities — or any university
— has a problem raising
funds for medicine, stem cell
research, health, etc. But the
arts do not have as wide of an
audience. And UCLA is a
jewel of a school.”
The plan to remake
UCLA’s graduate art studios
first emerged in 2011, when
feasibility studies were conducted to explore upgrading
the existing facilities. The
studios are on land owned by
UCLA in Culver City — inside a central warehouse,
with various additions, that
has grown increasingly
dilapidated over time.
“There is not proper ventilation, clean air, light — it’s
not a healthy building,” says
Pittman. “If you turn off the
electricity while you’re in
there, the building becomes
completely dark.”
In summer it is broiling.
In the rain, it leaks.
“It’s in terrible condition,” says Leavin — and not
in keeping with the art
school’s status as the No. 2
ranked graduate fine arts
program in the country.
As part of the feasibility
studies, L.A. architectural
firm Johnston Marklee was
enlisted to produce a design
that would reconfigure the
55,000-square-foot parcel of
land that sits near Warner
Drive at Hayden Avenue just
west of Ballona Creek.
In their proposed design,
the architects keep the
World War II-era bow-andtruss warehouse building at
the heart of the property but
dispose of the ad hoc additions that have been made
over the decades.
They wrap the warehouse in a new, two-story
structure with a translucent
roof that would create a protected, light-filled, open-air
courtyard.
The new 38,000-squarefoot building would increase
usable space by 40%, as well
as add an exhibition area
and an artist-in-residence
studio. But the project, expected to run an estimated
$31 million, stalled at the
gate five years ago because
of a lack of funding. Leavin’s
donation, which covers almost two-thirds of the building costs, changed that.
The university can now
move forward with additional fundraising. The anticipated completion date is
2019 — which also happens to
mark UCLA’s centennial.
Leavin, the L.A. art
dealer who operated an
eponymous gallery from 1970
to 2012 — known for showcasing work by a who’s who
of important artists, including Donald Judd, Martin
Puryear, Lynda Benglis and
John Baldessari — is thrilled
that the project is moving
forward.
“Instead of giving just
small amounts in different
places,” says Leavin, “I
thought it’d be better to have
an impact on the community.”
The remodel of the studios is also an opportunity
for the art department to reconceive its art-making
spaces at a time when the
visual arts have embraced
ideas-based practices such
as social practice, as well as
performance and digital culture.
“We have a new genres
area and we have an interdisciplinary area, and those
particular focuses can require a different idea of spatial use,” says Pittman. “The
model we had of studios was
based on the making of
physical works. Part of this
is to upgrade to the practices that we have.”
Sharon Johnston, who
has led the design process
for Johnston Marklee, says
the new design has “a really
informal and functional
quality.”
“They didn’t want to
have, ‘This is where the photographers are and this is
where the painters are,’” she
explains. “They wanted fluidity, because people cross
over and they want to have
exchange.”
The idea, she says, is to
have a “variety of conditioned spaces where people
could do performances, they
could make film — not just
be in their studios.”
Pittman says what is
most heartening about
Leavin’s donation is that it
represents an important investment in public educational infrastructure.
“So much of philanthropy now is wealthy people giving money to congratulate themselves — by
naming something after
themselves,” he explains.
“This is real philanthropy.
It’s an investment in the systemic.”
Leavin says it’s merely an
attempt to support something that she cares about
deeply. “What’s more important than the artists?” she
asks. “Without them, there is
no art world.”

Making progress the Americana way
Parker Millsap has
acknowledgment in
music circles and a
raw, bluesy album.
By Randy Lewis
For an unassuminglooking kid out of tiny Purcell, Okla., population 6,300,
singer and songwriter Parker Millsap has attracted
pretty impressive friends in
cool places since the 2014 release of his debut album.
This year, pop superstar
and musical tastemaker
Elton John dropped Millsap’s name when asked
about contemporary musicians he admires, and in
March, Millsap scored a slot
at Nashville’s venerated
Grand Ole Opry on the same
night that country queen
Loretta Lynn was on stage.
He’s been tapped as an
opening act for Americana
stalwarts including Patty
Griffin, Jason Isbell and Old
Crow
Medicine
Show,
among others.
His sophomore album,
“The Very Last Day,” is a raw
and bluesy musical excursion that could provide the
Coen brothers with subject
matter for a half-dozen of
their noir-ish, character-rich
comedy-dramas.
The March release has
also earned the 23-year-old a
coveted album-of-the-year
nomination at the 2016
Americana Music Assn.
awards to be handed out in
September.
Millsap played during the
past week at the Casbah in
San Diego, Don the Beachcomber
in
Huntington
Beach and the fabled Troubadour in West Hollywood,
and made his debut appearance on “Conan.”
Noting that he was “so
pumped” about playing the
Troubadour, he said, “There
are just so many people that
you listen to that have
played there, people who
once worked the door there.
It’s great to get to play that
room. I’ve driven by a few
times when I happen to be in
L.A.”
In one of his most striking
songs on the new album,
V
Laura Partain
SINGER-SONGWRITER Parker Millsap, center, whose album “The Very Last Day” has been nominated for
an American Music Assn. award, with bassist Michael Rose, left, and fiddler Daniel Foulks.
“Heaven Sent,” he sings
from the perspective of the
gay son of a preacher who
yearns for his father’s acceptance. The new album’s
opening number, “Hades
Pleads,” also showcases the
young artist’s songwriting
skill.
Millsap dives deep into
mythological themes in a
tune built on gritty slide
electric guitar, thumping
drums and ragged-edged
fiddling behind his octavehopping vocal. He punctuates each observation with
disorienting breathy interjections and barbed-war
blues inflections.
“That was the first song I
wrote for this record,” Millsap said via phone while rid-

piloted their car back to
Nashville from a quick vacation jaunt to Florida’s Gulf
Coast.
“I had been reading
about Greek mythology as I
was starting to work on this
record and thought about
doing some kind of a musical
production about the story
of Orpheus,” he said. “I
wanted to read up more on
Greek mythology, and the
more I started learning
about the story of Hades and
Persephone,
the
more
creepy and awful I realized it
was.
“As a songwriter, I
thought I’d try to see if I can
relate to that in any way,” he
said with a laugh.

in church.”
Opening his ears to the
music from his native state
made him aware of folk-protest music hero Woody
Guthrie, rocker-pianist Leon Russell (whose music he
was introduced to by fellow
Oklahoma troubadour John
Fullbright), and one of his
biggest musical heroes, singer-songwriter J.J. Cale, writer of Eric Clapton hits including “After Midnight”
and “Cocaine” as well as
“They Call Me the Breeze.”
Cale’s influence surfaces
in the laid-back bluesiness
and tasteful acoustic guitar

song “Morning Blues,” while

Although “The Very Last
Day” is just the second Millsap album most pop music
fans have had access to, the
young artist says he has
quite the back catalog.
“This is really like my fifth
record,” he said. “This is just
the second one that’s had
any press. I’ve been writing
songs since I was 13 or 14 and
made my first record when I
was about 16, with my high
school band.”
As much as he was immersed in music growing up
in small-town Oklahoma, he
said, “I wasn’t really aware of
Oklahoma music history until maybe when I was in high
school. Before that I was just
listening to what my parents
listened to and what we sang

Move” gets to the existential
angst at the heart of that
lament.
The song also reflects the
vocal role models he’s cited
such as Howlin’ Wolf, Tom
Waits and even Ray Charles,
Ella Fitzgerald and Freddie
Mercury.
The new album delivers a
stronger portrait of his concerts because much of it was
recorded live in the studio
with his touring band, which
spotlights fiddle player Daniel Foulks and bassist Michael Rose, with whom he
has been friends and playing
music since they were in
high school.
“We’ve been touring a lot
and I love live music, and I
just wanted to capture that
on record,” he said. “It’s fun
to use the studio like an instrument, but you can just
tell with a record when it’s
made by a bunch of people
playing at the same time.
“Even when the Beach
Boys were making those records with the really complex rhythm tracks,” he said,
“you could tell there were
people singing together over
that. You can just tell — it’s a
feel you can’t fake. I think
our ears are smarter than
maybe we think they are.”
As for seeing his latest album nominated by the
Americana group for top album honors alongside Chris
Stapleton’s runaway hit
“Traveller,” Lucinda Williams’ “The Ghosts of Highway 20” and Isbell’s “Something More Than Free,” Millsap chuckles.
“On a professional level
it’s great,” he said. “On a personal level, that’s not what
I’m in it for. It’s always an
honor, and I’m always grateful to be recognized.
“But,” he added, expressing his admiration for the
other nominees, “there’s no
way I’m going to win, and I’m
not really worried about it.
It’s kind of wild — my manager texted me [when
nominations
were
announced], and I saw the list
of the other names and
thought, ‘Wait a minute —
somebody
must
have
messed up.’ ”

Teen’s call
from France
[McNamara, from E1]
they’re all dead.”
At that moment, McReynolds knew nothing of
the attack in France that left
at least 84 dead after the
driver of a refrigerated truck
plowed through the crowd —
it had not made the news.
But in the video we see her
attempt to calm her daughter, telling Aimee to “take a
deep breath” and that she
will have her on a flight home
as soon as possible. Confining her own fear to a few
choked sobs and anguished
whispers to her son, McReynolds focuses on her
daughter, talks her through
a city she cannot see, a tragedy she doesn’t yet understand. She asks Aimee if she
has a phone charger, if she
can see a safe hotel, if her
tour guide is alive.
“Don’t hang up,” McReynolds says, at one point.
“I need you.”
The eight-minute video,
which begins with happy
scenes of Aimee setting off
on her adventure, ends with
a shot of her safe in a hotel
lobby and a call to pray for
those who were not as
“blessed and lucky” as
Aimee, her friend Ahnyca
and their families.
Morales put it together
with transitional text and,
when necessary, subtitles,
but the footage is choppy,
the
camera
frequently
aimed at the ground, the
wall, at table legs as Morales
attempts to take in the news
and comfort his mother —
the camera on but forgotten.
It is a different kind of
“live report” television that’s
become increasingly common in these troubled times,
and it’s difficult to watch,
even knowing that the young
women are safe. In the best
version of every parent’s
nightmare,
McReynolds’
desperate calm instantly
collapses the enormity of the
event into a single series of
maternal directives, which
days later emanated from
my own phone as my own
teenage daughter showed
me the video.
The world is a vast and
confusing place until moments like these shrink it so
it fits into the palm of your
hand.
And in this case, it
quickly shrank even further.
My daughter Fiona, who had
herself been in Nice in June,
follows OKBaby because
Oscar and Kyra went to her
brother
Danny’s
high
school.
It took me less than an
hour to discover that Aimee
Morales, whom I had just
heard sobbing amid unimaginable carnage, and
Ahnyca Quesada, who may
have saved her life, had in
fact been in my son’s class;
one hot bright evening not
that long ago, I had watched
them graduate. One Facebook message later, I had
McReynolds’ phone number.
She was driving back to
Los Angeles from Montana,
where Oscar now lives, in
time to meet Aimee, who was
also on her way home from
Florence, Italy, via London.
“The attack had just happened,” McReynolds says of
the moments captured in
the video. “So we had no idea
what she was talking about.
Just that there had been an
attack and people were
dead. It wasn’t even on the
news, there were only a few
tweets.
“I don’t even remember
what I said when she first
called. In my mind, it went
on for hours, but my son says
it was just a few seconds. All I
heard was, ‘Everyone is
dead.’ ”
Some of McReynolds’
friends had expressed concern when Aimee and Ahnyca decided to go to Europe. The girls had originally
wanted to backpack, but
McReynolds decided an
agency tour would be better.
“A lot of the kids were older,”
she says, “on gap year; [the
girls] were the only Americans. But the tour and the
guide were amazing.”
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, she says,
the group made its way to
the beach and followed the
shoreline to a hotel whereit
stayed until the police
activity died down. Aimee
called her mother every 10
minutes while her father got
in touch with the American
consulate.
Eventually the group,
organized through Topdeck
tours, made its way back to
its hotel. The group was
scheduled to leave for Florence in the morning; in Florence, counselors met with
the group members, many of
whom chose to continue
their travels.
Aimee and Ahnyca, however, chose to come home. “I
left the decision to her,” McReynolds says, “though I
really wanted her back. But
she wanted to get home as
soon as she could.”
Home where her classmates, like my son, are going
to the beach, working summer jobs, hanging out for a
few more weeks with friends,
attending college orientation. Where the attack is horrifying enough through the
safety of a screen, where parents and families who watch
count their blessings and
look at school trips abroad
with increasing wariness.
Aimee is calmer now, McReynolds says, but still
deeply affected.
“It happened right in
front of her; Ahnyca pulled
her out of the way,” she says.
“She heard the truck hit people. That’s what she keeps
saying to me. That she cannot stop hearing the sound
of the truck running over all
those bodies.”

BOX OFFICE
Hopper Stone Columbia Pictures / Sony Pictures
MELISSA McCARTHY, left, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig and Leslie Jones star in the new “Ghostbusters.”
Earning a good grade
[Box office from E1]
McKinnon, Kristen Wiig and
Leslie Jones as the team that
must save New York City
from an onslaught of paranormal activity. “Thor’s”
Chris Hemsworth delivers a
comedic turn as a hunky,
dimwitted secretary.
The film, a reboot of the
1984 picture starring Bill
Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson, faced misogynistic criticism online for its new twist
with an all-female cast. Additionally, the first trailer,
when released in March, was
widely panned on YouTube,
where it reportedly became
the most “disliked” movie
trailer in the site’s history.
People even flooded its
International Movie Database page with poor ratings.
Whether that had a negative
effect on the film’s performance is too early to tell, Bruer
said, opting for a long-game
vision.
“What you have to see is
where does it end up,” he
said. “I think certainly there
were hurdles that we had to
push through, and there was
definitely challenges in regards to the naysayers of it
all, but we always knew we
were bringing it.”
Audiences, 54% of which
were female, and critics appear to like the movie, however — once they’ve seen it.
Moviegoers gave “Ghostbusters” a B-plus CinemaScore (those younger than
25 gave it an A-minus), while
73% of Rotten Tomatoes
critics rated it favorably.
Still, the film will need to
do strong business throughout the rest of the summer at
home — as many of Feig’s
films do — and overseas to
justify the large budget and
generate a sequel. That

FOR 7/18/2016 ONLY
Secret Life of Pets” from Illumination Entertainment
and Universal Pictures. The
computer-animated adventure added an impressive estimated $50.6 million in its
second week. The amount,
added to the film’s massive
debut for a domestic gross,
brings its total to $203.2 million.
Though the film waits to
open in 57 more countries
over the next three months,
including in China on Aug.
2., it already has grossed
$50.8 million internationally.
Coming in third was
Warner Bros.’ “The Legend
of Tarzan,” with $11.1 million
in its third week. The live-action remake of the classic
jungle tale has grossed an
estimated $103.1 domestically.
After taking in $22 million
this past weekend internationally, the film has a $90.6million foreign gross.
Disney-Pixar’s “Finding
Dory” continues to break records. After landing in
fourth for the weekend, with
$11 million, the picture
stands as the highest-grossing animated release domestically, with an estimated
$445.5 million.
It passed Shrek 2’s” longheld record, set in 2004, of
$441.2 million. Internationally, the film has taken in an
estimated $276.2 million for
a global cumulative total of
$721.7 million.
This result has helped
push the year-to-date for
Walt Disney Studios past $2
billion domestically. It’s the
fastest this mark has been
reached in industry history.
Twentieth Century Fox’s
“Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates,” in fifth place,
took home an estimated $7.5
million in its second week.
The R-rated comedy has
grossed $31.3 million domestically.
The week’s only other
new wide release, Broad
Green Pictures’ “The Infiltrator,” pulled in an estimated $5.3 million for an
eighth-place finish. Such a
performance is continued
bad news for the studio after
a weak performance of “The
Neon Demon.”
“The Infiltrator” stars
Bryan Cranston as an undercover federal agent attempting to infiltrate the
trafficking network of a
Colombian drug kingpin.
As for notable limited releases, “Café Society,” a
partnership between Lionsgate and Amazon Studios, grossed $355,000 on five
screens in New York and Los
Angeles. That per-screen average of $71,000 is the biggest
for an opening weekend
among all films in 2016. The
film is the latest from Woody
Allen, about love in 1930s
Hollywood and New York.
“We’re really pleased
about the initial weekend of
‘Café Society,’ ” said Bob
Berney, Amazon’s head of
marketing and distribution.
“Woody Allen’s romantic
trip to Hollywood and Manhattan of the ’30s is a great
film that audiences are
adoring.”
Next week, major new releases include Fox’s latest
addition to the “Ice Age”
franchise, “Ice Age: Collision
Course”; Warner Bros.’ horror flick “Lights Out”; and
Paramount’s “Star Trek: Beyond.”

M O N DAY, J U LY 18 , 2 016

It appears Woody Allen won’t let up
[Allen, from E1]
pulses. He never gives us a
break.
And yet his latest, “Café
Society,” a comedy with
dramatic underpinnings, reveals that as much as his
films can seem blithely selfsame, there are shadings
and distinctions that signal
more dynamic shifts in his
thinking. Always marked by
a neurotic pessimism, his recent films have taken a
darker, violent turn, verging
on nihilism. His work has become a thorny conversation
with himself, his past, his
problems and his audience.
Perhaps it always was.
“Café Society,” a wistful
story of romantic yearning
set in New York and Hollywood in the 1930s, centers on
a love triangle among Jesse
Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart
and Steve Carell, with supporting performances by
Jeannie Berlin, Blake Lively,
Parker Posey, Paul Schneider and Corey Stoll. Though
Allen does not appear onscreen, he voices an ongoing
narration, a not-so-subtle
reminder as to who is the
real guiding hand.
One of the movie’s main
themes seems to be that you
can’t outrun your past and
that things have a way of
coming
back
around,
whether people or crimes or
feelings long compartmentalized. The specter of allegations that Allen had
sexually
molested
his
adopted daughter Dylan
Farrow in 1992 roared back
around the time of his piercing 2013 drama “Blue Jasmine” when she publicly
spoke out. And a recent essay by Allen’s estranged son
Ronan Farrow, timed to the
Cannes Film Festival premiere of “Café Society,”
questioned journalists for
not continuing to ask “hard
questions” of his father.
Changing dynamics between men and women,
evolving attitudes toward
survivors of sexual assault
and an accelerated media
landscape have meant that
these renewed allegations
have played out differently
than they did in the ’90s.
This time, as in Allen’s latest
movie, the past may not be
so easy to leave behind.
Cannes Film Festival
WOODY ALLEN’S latest, “Café Society,” isn’t always a romance. Jesse Eisenberg and Blake Lively costar.
At Cannes, journalists
did confront Allen about Ronan Farrow’s essay. He deferred their questions by referring them to his 2014 op-ed
in the New York Times.
So where does that leave
the rest of us? Would this all
be made easier if Allen would
just hit “pause”?
I’ve always read Allen’s
work ethic as an attempt to
put his head down and push
past any and all controversy,
while I also wonder whether
he now feels that slowing
down would be a tacit acknowledgement that his
presence had become so
troubling. But rather than
give his audiences a moment
to process their complicated, conflicting feelings
about the distinctions between life and art, the life of
the artist and the work
created, he defiantly insists
on remaining visible.
Because of his prolific
output, there is often an unfiltered quality to Allen’s
work, as if it’s an outpouring
of his subconscious into the
script and onto the screen.
So the constant appearance
of older men with younger
women, the preoccupation
with guilt and murder, class
anxiety, a sense of existential
futility, could all be read as
signs that he genuinely can’t
help himself. These truly are
the things most on his mind.
Allen maintains that he
does not read any press
about himself, good or bad,
none of the reviews or
interviews or think pieces. I
don’t know that I entirely
buy that line, as he frequently seems to be addressing what is being said about
him through his work.
Last year’s “Irrational
Man” felt acutely aware of
Allen’s critics, as a college

professor engaged in an affair with a young student
and attempted to get away
with the murder of a family
court judge. In “Café Society” a man leaves his wife of
25 years to take up with a 25year-old woman. (And then
is seen staying with her for a
number of years, longer than
some passing fling.)
Aside from that uncomfortably precise age differential, one of the more troubling elements in “Café Society” is that as part of a gangster subplot, a number of
violent murders are shown
that have little precedent in
Allen’s work. A garish moment in which a man is shot
while in a barber’s chair,
blood staining the towel
wrapped around his head, is
especially jarring.
Though there is (spoiler
alert) comeuppance in “Café
Society,” the movie’s flip at-
titude toward these deaths
is especially odd because
Allen has so frequently
turned to the notion of murder, and getting away with it,
as the most elemental moral
dilemma. In “Crimes and
Misdemeanors,”
“Match
Point,”
“Cassandra’s
Dream” and “Irrational
Man” he has returned again
and again to whether a person can commit the ultimate
crime and continue living a
normal life. He has depicted
murder in a comedic way before — “Manhattan Murder
Mystery” comes immediately to mind — but the
throwaway lightness with
which he treats the subject
here seems to further signal
the ongoing darkening of his
worldview.

different time have seemed
charming and the product of
a plucky persistence. Today
they read with an edge of obliviousness and selfish desperation. Likewise Carell’s
Hollywood power broker wavers between an abrasive,
earnest rawness and a steely
calculation.
If Woody Allen were to
stop making movies what,
really, would be lost? The
free-flowing precision of
“Annie Hall,” the bittersweet
reveries of “Hannah and Her
Sisters,” the angry agitation
of “Husbands and Wives”
and the sun-kissed psychopathology of “Vicki Cristina
Barcelona” would all still exist. If he were to stop working
it wouldn’t even much fix his
legacy in place, as the regard
for certain films is already in
flux.
“Manhattan,” long considered one of his greatest
achievements, has of late
seemed just a morass of
cringing and bad vibes, not
only for a fortysomething
Allen romantically pursuing
an underage high school girl
but also for its general tone
of smug, posturing self-regard. At the same time, an
unassuming
film
like
“Broadway Danny Rose”
has an emergent tenderness
and humanity that was once
easy to overlook.
With “Café Society,” Allen
again signals his audience
about what’s on his mind
and that he knows what they
think about him. He occupies a distinctly complicated, tangled position and
now always will, regardless
of whether the 80-year-old
filmmaker stops working or
not. These are not signs of an
autumnal reconciliation of
life’s contradictions but
rather something intense
and disturbing.
Woody Allen does not
make it easy to be a fan of
Woody Allen. But as in his
“The Purple Rose of Cairo,”
where an actor steps out of a
movie and into the real
world only to cause chaos
and a struggle to get him to
return onscreen, any ongoing doubts and recriminations about Allen will not
be easily put back.

HOROSCOPE
By Holiday Mathis
Aries (March 21-April 19):
Don’t be too worried about
how the future will work out.
All you have to know about
that right now is that it will.
Taurus (April 20-May
20): Your insistence on getting it right might be interfering with your ability to get
it done. Finishing is more
important than finishing
perfectly.
Gemini (May 21-June 21):
You are receptive to other
people’s news. You celebrate
their stories. You listen to
and remember the details of
their days.
Cancer (June 22-July 22):
Ideally, a romantic partner
is also a friend. Whether the
friendship comes first or last
is beside the point.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
Your commitment to a project may be casual, unspoken, and private, but it’s
there, it’s strong, and it will
go honored.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
You’ll give a magic send-off
to a bad situation. As for the
pain, guilt, regret and general negativity that it caused
you, you can now firmly say,
“buh-bye.”
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):
You’ll wonder when exactly
it was that you wanted this.
Try to remember your original vision. What about it is
different now?
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):
There is no such thing as a
perfect relationship, and
some of your favorite ones
have been far from perfect.
What
you’ve
worked
through continues to makes
you better.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): That song you used
to love and listen to often will
come on randomly in your
environment, reminding you
of a certain someone. You’ll
always have a special space
in your heart for this person.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): You are, at your core, forgiving, loving and selfless.
That doesn’t mean you always have to behave in such
a way to reflect this.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): You don’t need to prove
yourself. The one who makes
you feel as though you do: Is
this person really qualified
to sit above you and judge?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March
20): As for the struggle that’s
eaten up so much of your
time lately, what would happen if you gave it up?
Today’s birthday (July
18): When they say, “the rest
is history,” it’s a super-sized
accomplishment they are referring to. However, it’s
about to be eclipsed by
something wonderful in the
first half of this solar journey.
Your lucky numbers are: 5,
40, 12, 22 and 14.

“I had to admit he was
right, but I didn’t agree that
I should have found such a
bizarre play.”
To discard the ace of
South’s long suit might have
blown a trick — vital at duplicate.
Still, I would have tried it.
I wouldn’t have passed up a
chance for a once-in-a-lifetime play.
Question: You hold: ♠ A
Q 3 ♥ K J 4 ♦ K 5 4 2 ♣ K Q 8.
You are the dealer. What is
your opening call?
Answer: South in today’s
deal opened one diamond.
No doubt his range for a 1NT
opening bid was 15 to 17
points, as it is for many duplicate players.
Even so, a case existed for
downgrading the hand. It
has only one ace, no long suit
to serve as a source of tricks
and no promising spot
cards. Personally, I might
have opened1NT even with a
15-to-17 range.

ASK AMY
Co-worker is a big pain
Dear Amy: I have worked
closely with a co-worker for
five years. She can be warm
and generous, is a hard
worker and is always the
first to volunteer for projects
and committees.
She is also incredibly sensitive and thin-skinned and
often perceives slights in benign comments. When this
happens, she flies off the
handle. She has stormed out
of meetings in tears and
snapped at co-workers. She
recently said something
hurtful about a colleague
(presumably meant to be
funny) in a public forum.
I have stopped defending
her, both publicly and privately. But because I think
her behavior is atrocious,
now and then I still “run interference” for her to prevent her from melting down
and to protect others’ feelings.
She often wants to vent
about how she has been mistreated and asks for advice
about how to handle these
imaginary insults, but she
rejects any actual help and
seems to only want to be told
that she is right and others
are wrong.
Colleagues and I are constantly walking on eggshells
around this person, and we
resent it.
I feel like I’m being emotionally bullied, but con-
fronting her will likely mean
making the workplace uncomfortable, possibly forever, as she tends to be unforgiving.
She has experienced trying personal circumstances
in the past few years, and we
work in a setting that gives
workers a lot of autonomy
(i.e. behavior has to be really
egregious for a supervisor to
get involved). Any advice?
Emotional Hostage
Dear Hostage: You have
kindly run interference for
your co-worker for years, expertly reading her moods
and smoothing things over
for her so that she will be
shielded from the natural
consequences of her actions.
No doubt you have done this
for her because you are a
genuinely good person who
wants to protect her and
others from her actions. Perhaps you’ve also done this
for your own reasons. Her
volatility makes you uncomfortable. You also sound a little afraid of her moods and
behavior.
Emotional bullies get the
best of people by making
others check their own reactions to try to protect themselves. Over time, this can
make things much worse.
If she is acting out, don’t
offer help or advice. Never
“protect” her from a melt-
down. If she is venting to you
and asks for advice, tell her,
“You ask for advice, but you
don’t seem to actually want
it. I’m confident you can figure this out.”
The loose environment at
your workplace gives her a
lot of latitude about her behavior, but this environment
might not be the best fit for
her. If her unhappiness and
behavior at work interferes
with her (and others’) ability
to do your jobs, then it would
be time for a supervisor to offer her a course correction.
Dear Amy: “Quiet Neighbors” wondered if it was reasonable for their neighbors
to use loud lawn mowers and
leaf blowers in the morning.
We asked our neighbors
at our weekend house to limit and schedule their very
noisy yardwork. They refused. So we waited until
they had company and ran
our mower (the way they
routinely do). They were
much more respectful after
that.
Done
Dear Done: A little dose of
“what’s good for the goose is
good for the gander” is
sometimes all it takes.
