2027年芝加哥市长选举

候选人就犯罪问题采取强硬立场

尽管自 2022 年以来谋杀案大幅下降，竞争者们仍强调该议题

作者：杰克·谢里登 (Jake Sheridan) 和 爱丽丝·殷 (Alice Yin) 《芝加哥论坛报》

当伊利诺伊州主计长苏珊娜·门多萨 (Susana Mendoza) 在一片空地上向摄像机走来时，她将芝加哥暴力犯罪率下降的功劳归于他人，但并非归于她希望接任的那个人。

她在本月发布的一段社交媒体视频中表示，谋杀案下降是因为“芝加哥拥有最好的创伤外科医生”，而枪击案实际上在增加——这一说法与警方数据相矛盾，数据显示今年枪击案略有下降。

“创伤外科医生挽救了更多生命，这很棒，但我们不应该就此庆祝，”她在警车鸣笛声和闪烁灯光的背景下说道。“作为市长，我不会躲在统计数据后面。我将就全市暴力犯罪的程度进行坦诚的对话。”

这是一种试图扭转事实的努力，而该事实可能在 2 月的芝加哥市长选举中发挥关键作用：根据警方数据，在市长布兰登·约翰逊 (Brandon Johnson) 的首个任期内，谋杀案和枪击案大幅下降，其他几个类别的犯罪也随之减少。但面对这些数字，门多萨在今年夏天早些时候拍摄视频时表示，2026 年年初至今的枪击案数量与去年相比略有上升。

“那是我们拍摄那段视频时的某个时间点，”她说。“归根结底……我认为任何数量的枪击案都是不可接受的。”

根据芝加哥警方的统计，在约翰逊就职前的一年，即 2022 年，该市经历了 719 起谋杀案的历史峰值，而去年年底该数字为 416 起。与此同时，枪击案下降了 48%，抢劫案下降了 35%，汽车盗窃案下降了 20%——且这些水平在今年普遍有所改善或保持稳定。这是近年来美国各城市暴力犯罪骤减的大趋势的一部分，但约翰逊经常将其归功于自己的决策。

尽管约翰逊在任期间有明显的改善，但几乎每一位已宣布参选市长的候选人在接受《论坛报》采访时都表示，他在解决暴力问题方面做得太少。

“看到它在里面扭动了吗？”谢德水族馆热带海洋栖息地主管兼水族师安娜·比钦斯基（Anna Byczynski）说道。

官方：美国袭击伊朗火箭发射器

据称此次沿海峡的袭击是军方一个月来的首次打击

作者：Konstantin Toropin, Cara Anna and Ben Finley 美联社

华盛顿 —— 美国军队周日袭击了位于霍尔木兹海峡的伊朗火箭发射器，这是他们一个月来的首次军事行动，打破了这场持续六个多月的断断续续战争中的短暂平静。

伊朗迅速誓言将对这次被其称为“致命袭击”的行为进行报复，有报道称其向约旦的美国军队发射了导弹。

美国中央司令部发言人蒂姆·霍金斯（Tim Hawkins）表示，观察到革命卫队部队正准备向海峡发射火箭弹和水雷。美国军方上周完成了清除海峡国际航道水雷的工作。

伊朗的半官方新闻机构报道称，海峡附近的拉拉克岛附近传出爆炸声。

革命卫队在伊朗国家广播公司发布的一份声明中提到“我们几名战士和同胞的殉职与受伤”。卫队发言人侯赛因·莫海比（Hossein Mohebi）将军表示，周日的袭击是“特朗普政权在经济战争期间犯下的致命错误”，敌人将在军事和经济上为此付出代价。

随后，伊朗国家电视台播放了其称之为伊朗向约旦美国基地发射弹道导弹的画面，以回应美国的袭击。约旦武装部队表示，他们在周一凌晨拦截了 8 枚进入其领空的导弹。

回归公开冲突将给该地区带来危险。自 2 月 28 日战争开始以来，伊朗一直将海湾国家的美国军事基地作为目标。

美国军方上次确认打击伊朗是在 7 月 29 日，当时宣布对数十个革命卫队目标进行了“大规模打击”。8 月 1 日，唐纳德·特朗普总统

地球上的多样性。这是斑马鲨的自然分布范围，该物种因其后代尾部的黑白条纹而得名。

然而，在官方定义中，该物种被称为印度-太平洋豹鲨——这个名字更适合描述成年鲨鱼身上的斑点（条纹最终会褪色为斑点）——或学名为 Stegostoma tigrinum（不要与东太平洋的豹鲨 Triakis semifasciata 混淆）。

自2004, 以来，谢德水族馆已有80 多枚斑马鲨鱼卵孵化，并将幼鲨送往美国各地的十几个动物园和水族馆。

现在，作为多机构合作的 ReShark 计划（旨在将种群重新引入野外）及其于2020 年启动的 Stegostoma tigrinum 增强与恢复项目（简称 StAR 项目）的一部分，这些鱼卵将走向国际。这是全球首个针对鲨鱼的此类尝试。

斑马鲨倾向于在礁石底部休息，调节蜗牛、蛤蜊、螃蟹、虾和小型鱼类等底栖猎物的数量，这是维持繁荣生态系统的重要环节。

但世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）认为该物种在全球范围内处于濒危状态，其种群数量正在下降，面临着针对鱼鳍贸易的捕捞以及渔业兼捕（误捕）的风险。

“它们基本上已被捕捞至‘功能性灭绝’，”谢德水族馆海洋研究主任史蒂文·凯塞尔（Steven Kessel）表示。“这意味着它们在生态系统中不再发挥功能性作用；其数量减少到已经无法对食物网产生实际影响。”

由于城市开发和气候变化，该物种的沿海栖息地（如红树林和礁石）也遭受了损失和退化。根据该国际联盟的数据，在1970 年至2020 年之间，缅甸、马来西亚和柬埔寨 $44% 的红树林区域消失了。而且，自1997 年以来，海洋温度升高导致了大规模的珊瑚白化和死亡。

根据 ReShark 的数据，在过去二十年的数千小时调查中，在覆盖数百万英亩的拉贾-安帕特群岛保护海域中，仅发现了三条成年斑马鲨。科学家估计该群岛中的个体数量不足20 条。

然而，自2023, 以来，该项目已向拉贾-安帕特群岛投放了75 条斑马鲨。

来自谢德水族馆的四枚鱼卵预计将在西巴布亚克里岛（Kri）的拉贾-安帕特研究与保护中心孵化，在那里，一支被亲切地称为“鲨鱼保姆”的团队将照料这些幼鲨。

孵化后，幼鲨将转移到海中围网中，以适应自然的海洋环境并培养觅食技能。如果健康状况良好，它们将在达到适当尺寸后被标记并释放。

“这是我工作中最有成就感的部分之一，”拜钦斯基（Byczynski）说道。“日复一日地与这些动物打交道非常酷——能够照顾成年鲨鱼，然后看着它们产卵，将卵移上来，每周进行护理，最后能将它们送回去并助力这个新种群的建立。”

拜钦斯基说，想到她曾以卵的形式照顾的幼鲨被释放到野外，在拉贾-安帕特群岛的海域中游弋，让她感到激动不已。她一边揉着手臂，一边看向克莱奥（Cleo），后者正在水族馆后台的一个水槽中绕圈游泳。

凯塞尔（Kessel）表示，该项目是鲨鱼保护领域另一种工具的概念验证，尤其是考虑到该领域仍存在质疑者。

“（重新引入）在陆地环境中非常普遍且已得到充分验证，”他说。“在淡水中也是如此，有很多补鱼计划。即使是在五大湖地区，他们也经常进行放养等操作。但在海洋环境中这种情况较少见。这是首次在鲨鱼身上实施。”

他说，由于斑马鲨是卵生动物，因此是这种方法的“完美”选择，但将类似的努力扩展到更濒危的鲨鱼物种将面临其他挑战，因为其他物种是胎生的。

他说，该项目的成功在当地引起了轰动，其他国家也渴望参与斑巴鲨的重新引入。保护主义者可以利用这个机会说服政府和渔业机构加强对野外现有鲨鱼的保护——他表示，这是在通过“胡萝卜而非大棒”来推动变革。

“这次成功对于鲨鱼研究和保护领域来说确实具有开创性，”凯塞尔说。“我们需要探索所有不同的保护管理途径，因为鲨鱼正处于极度危险之中。这确实是一场危机，我们需要尽一切可能。”

居民抗议埃奇沃特高层建筑提案

犹太会堂原址湖滨开发计划 引发社区分歧

作者：Adriana Pérez 《芝加哥论坛报》

周日，埃奇沃特居民抗议一项拟在犹太会堂原址建设的湖滨高层开发项目。该计划在公共土地使用与环境、房产价值与税收减免、交通拥堵以及涉嫌反犹主义等问题上引发了社区成员的分歧。

在北谢里登路（North Sheridan Road）与索恩代尔大道（Thorndale Avenue）交汇处附近，计划建设约600套住宅单元，反对该项目的人员聚集在乔治·莱恩海滩（George Lane Beach）的入口处。当抗议者——由“埃奇沃特负责任开发居民组织”和“谢里登路公寓及合作社业主协会”领导——表示市政府应收购湖滨沿线待重新开发的私有财产以完善湖滨公园系统时，游客们从他们身边走过。

他们表示，高层建筑将减少公众进入密歇根湖的机会，违反了1973年的《湖滨保护条例》，该条例旨在保护湖滨地带并完善芝加哥湖滨由公众所有、当地控制的公园系统。

“它将规模巨大，会遮挡这里的所有景观，”埃奇沃特居民协会主席帕特·沙基（Pat Sharkey）一边指着莱恩海滩公园一边说道，“但不仅如此。这是一个巨大的机会损失，而且这意味着如果这件事被允许发生，那么《湖滨保护条例》将不再起作用；它失效了。”

在道路另一侧的跨信仰公园（Interfaith Park），埃马纽埃会堂（位于北谢里登路5959号拟开发地块上的这座犹太会堂已十分陈旧）的部分成员与城市事务犹太委员会（Jewish Council of Urban Affairs）的组织者以及其他现任和前埃奇沃特居民聚集在一起。

支持者表示，预留$20%的单元用于经济适用房至关重要，并认为该开发项目将保留进入海滩的便捷性并美化该区域。

“我们将在该位置建设的项目将成为一股巨大的能量，并提高该社区的房产价值，”会堂的高级拉比瑞秋·萨巴斯·贝特-哈拉赫米（Rachel Sabath Beit-Halachmi）说道，“我们拥有这块财产，我们有权建设一个能够成为绝佳聚集地和礼拜场所的建筑，而这个地块自20世纪50年代以来就一直属于我们。”

最新的项目提案包括一个宽阔的多层通道，将横跨地块下方，为沿谢里登路行走的行人提供欣赏密歇根湖的视野及进入湖区的通道。

最近出现了一个新的利益相关方：倡议团体“公园之友”（Friends of the Parks）目前正敦促第48区议员莱尼·马纳-霍彭沃思（Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth）将部分湖滨财产移交给芝加哥公园区（Chicago Park District），以处理湖岸侵蚀问题并创造更多公共空间。

“您的信函承诺（开发商）Fern Hill 将记录一份书面的、具有约束力的公共通行地役权，涵盖东西向行人巷以及沿湖滨的退让地带，以永久保留湖滨通道，”该组织执行主任布莱恩·格拉德斯坦（Brian Gladstein）写道，“但该承诺未明确两件事：受保护的海岸线深度是多少，以及公众将拥有该海岸线还是仅仅被允许通过。这两个问题决定了这里将成为公园绿地还是仅仅是一条走道。”

位于北谢里登路（N. Sheridan Rd.）5959号和5965号的湖滨地块总面积近2英亩。该组织请求将从海岸高水位线起算、深100英尺的一条地带划归公园区，以确保拥有0.6英亩的永久公共湖岸线，同时仍保留约2 / 3的场地用于开发。该组织还请求将该地带通过索恩代尔（Thorndale）与莱恩海滩（Lane Beach）及街道网格相连。

“公园之友”（Friends of the Parks）还请求市政府针对海岸侵蚀的脆弱性、对鱼类、鸟类及其他野生动物的可能影响，以及雨水管理和向湖中排放的情况，开展全面的环境和湖岸线调查。

“这些请求涉及湖岸线的处理以及用于保障公众进入的手段，”格拉德斯坦写道。“它们并非针对住宅项目，其中没有任何内容针对该开发项目的经济适用房部分。它们并不要求伊曼纽尔会堂（Emanuel Congregation）搬迁。”

在2月份的一次公开会议上提交的原始计划中，拟建一座15层、马蹄形的公寓综合体，其中包括一座新的湖滨犹太会堂。在收到邻居、会堂成员、城市规划官员以及马纳-霍彭沃思（Manaa-Hoppenworth）的进一步反馈后，费恩希尔（Fern Hill）在5月份公布了一项新计划。

7月份提出的最新方案包括一座位于谢里登路西侧的五层建筑。在另一侧，两栋分别为12层和25层的公寓楼将安置在39层的马里布公寓（Malibu Condominiums）旁边，后者位于北谢里登路6007号，是该会堂的邻居。

此前，伊曼纽尔会堂的共同主席安德鲁·德根霍尔茨（Andrew Degenholtz）告诉《论坛报》，新的开发项目是必要的。该会堂约有250个成员家庭，不足以负担现有34,000平方英尺建筑的维护费用，该建筑于1955年完工，当时伊曼纽尔会堂拥有1,000个家庭。

伊曼纽尔会堂将拥有新的会堂建筑，但不会在开发项目的住宅和商业空间中持有任何所有权权益。

居民反对的一个焦点是，开发商在30年内可获得$40 million的房产税减免，而居民和企业声称，过去十年中他们的房产税已经翻了一番。

反对该项目的人认为，除了增加的居民外，开发项目中的新餐厅和零售店还将增加一条本已繁忙的南北主干道的拥堵情况。马纳-霍彭沃思表示，由芝加哥交通局开展的交通研究和出行需求管理计划将在该计划提交至芝加哥规划委员会（Chicago Plan Commission）之前公布。

“这里是建设更多住房的理想位置。我们这里有公共交通。我们刚刚在这里投入了21 亿美元 billion用于红线建设，”长期居民迈科·雷曼（Maiko Lehman）在提到芝加哥交通局（CTA）的红线和紫线现代化项目时说道。“我们有150万辆巴士。湖就在那里。底线是，人们搬到这个社区是因为这里很理想，因为有湖，因为有红线和极佳的交通，我们需要有住房来容纳这些人。”

其他人则不认为该地区及其目前的交通选择能够支撑这种增长。

“这对缓解拥堵有帮助吗？”夏基（Sharkey）在谈到红线和紫线项目时耸了耸肩说道。“CTA的问题在于缺乏可靠性、缺乏安全性且缺乏清洁度，人们正因为这些原因而不愿使用它。”

这场争议还转向了宗教和文化问题，反对伊曼纽尔拟议项目的人被指控为反犹太主义。抗议者强烈否认此类指控。

对某些人来说，这个问题的影响远超宗教分歧。

“我们都有自己的崇拜方式和传统，但这更多的是关于整体局面。要像爱自己一样爱你的邻居，”退休的路德教牧师弗雷德·金西（Fred Kinsey）说道。他周日现身支持该会众及其拟议的开发项目。“我们希望确保人们生活在和平之中，他们和任何人一样有权在这里生活。因此，我们必须相互支持，并确保这一点能够实现。”

《芝加哥论坛报》的布莱恩·罗加尔（Brian Rogal）和鲍勃·麦考平（Bob McCoppin）亦对此文做出了贡献。

联邦调查人员深入调查埃尔金致命火车相撞事故

铁路专家：2025年事故是由“一系列问题的完美风暴”导致的

作者：Marni Pyke 每日先驱报（DAILY HERALD）

随着联邦当局继续调查去年秋天在埃尔金发生的一起致命货运火车相撞事故，涉及乘员疲劳与表现以及警告信号缺陷的问题正逐渐浮出水面。

2025年10月23日上午6:29，一辆景观美化卡车在州街道口与一辆联合太平洋铁路（Union Pacific Railroad）的机车相撞，导致卡车司机死亡，两名乘客受重伤。

美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）的一份初步报告指出，当火车接近道口边缘时，警告装置已启动，而卡车在相撞前立即进入了道口。

随后，联邦铁路管理局（FRA）的一份安全公告提供了更多细节，表明司机在情况变得不可挽回之前没有时间做出反应。

官员们发现，当卡车驶入道口并被一辆六轴轻型机车撞击时，道闸和闪烁灯“并未启动”。

FRA还表示，该机车的工程师和乘务员可能没有采取适用于短途火车的正确操作程序。事故发生时，该机车没有牵引任何车厢。

FRA发现：“初步信息表明，在操作未达到能可靠激活道口警告系统所需的最少轴数的设备时，火车乘员在通过公路-铁路平交道口时未遵守要求的操作规则。”

NTSB仍在调查这起导致56岁的圆湖滩（Round Lake Beach）居民马丁·马丁内斯·希门尼斯（Martin Martínez Jiménez）丧生的事故，尚未发布最终报告。

但最近公布的文件显示，乘员告诉NTSB，在碰撞发生前，两人都感到疲劳，而事故发生在他们班次接近结束的时候。

“我在努力对抗它。你知道，我……我承认，”工程师告诉调查人员，“我当时在努力对抗睡意。”

该乘员的班次始于 Oct. 22, 2025, 晚上 8 点，距离致命碰撞发生已过去 10 多个小时。

在被问及调查结果时，联合太平洋铁路（UP）在声明中表示：“这是一起悲剧性的事故，我们向受影响的人们表示最深切的同情。”

“我们继续与NTSB合作开展调查，以确保从中吸取教训，确保此类事件不再发生。涉事员工符合联邦关于工作与休息时间的要求。”

铁路专家、德保罗大学（DePaul University）教授约瑟夫·施维特曼（Joseph Schwieterman）指出，“当驾驶员看到道闸没有放下时，他们自然会认为继续行驶是安全的。”

“不幸的是，这名卡车司机因为一系列问题的‘完美风暴’而失去了生命。”

FRA表示，平交道口警告装置失效的原因各异，包括“分路失效”（loss of shunt），即机车或车厢车轮未能触发激活道闸和灯光的电气系统。

根据该公告，导致这种情况的因素可能包括轴数较少（如单台机车）、轨道上的污染物，或导致车轮与轨道连接不良的锈迹及其他状况。

FRA要求铁路公司提醒员工，“遵守与分路失效相关的操作规则和维护计划至关重要”，并采取降低道口附近车速等保障措施。

作为调查的一部分，调查人员采集了事故现场附近轨道上的一种未知涂层样本并提交分析。

当局还审查了该道口一整年的事件记录仪数据，并发现了“多次警告时间过短（以及）警告激活时间过短或被中断的情况”。

火车乘员向美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）官员描述了长时间的轮班和压力巨大的工作条件。官员们还关注到一个事实，即该机车在从西芝加哥（West Chicago）前往贝尔维迪尔（Belvidere）的行程中没有牵引任何车厢。

“当你们发现这次是空车返回时，你们是否就……任何需要更改的事项进行了工作简报？”一名调查员询问乘务员。

“没有，先生，”乘务员回答道。他回忆起当时感到“精疲力竭”，且无法准确回忆起在州街（State Street）时道闸和信号灯是否已启动。

工程师讲述道：“这开始让我感到疲惫。（我们）来到州街，然后转弯向北行驶。”

“所以我以为道闸已经降下来了，结果那个人突然出现，就在那里。”

没有人对他打击犯罪的努力给予全力赞赏，且所有人都表示，芝加哥人仍然经常感到不安全。

相反，在阐述遏制芝加哥暴力行为的愿景时，其中几位候选人试图通过呼吁大幅增加警员人数以及对违法者实施更严厉的处罚，来强化“严厉打击犯罪”的形象。其他人则认为，警察部门是城市最大的开支，市府无法负担大规模的新增警察支出，必须提高该部门的效率。

至于约翰逊——他尚未宣布竞选连任——他将功劳归于旨在解决犯罪根源的进步政策，包括在青少年夏季就业和社区暴力干预方面的大量投入。尽管他警告说“一次暴力行为就太多了”，但他认为，“认识到我们正在采取的措施已被证明有效”同样重要。

“我认为这里的关键在于，我们可以回归到那些失败的政策，或者我们可以加倍努力推进我已经开展的工作，”他在接受《论坛报》采访时表示，并将大规模监禁和关闭学校列为前一种策略的例子。“黑人的生命真的重要吗？如果真的重要，就请投入实际行动。”

从增加 1,000 名警员到引入新旧技术

对于几位候选人来说，一个与约翰逊的努力截然不同的公共安全平台始于一个数字：1,000。

州务卿亚历克西·吉安诺普利亚斯（Alexi Giannoulias）、门多萨、企业主威利·威尔逊（Willie Wilson）和说客约翰·凯利（John Kelly）已承诺将芝加哥警员人数至少增加这么多。

鉴于该市的财政挑战，这可能会被证明很困难。警察局是目前为止最昂贵的市级部门，且芝加哥的警员与居民比例已经是全美最高之一。

根据该部门 2026 年的薪资表，一名试用期警员（通常在半年后从警察学院毕业）的起薪为 $63,000，但在服务四年半后将跳升至 $111,000，外加福利。在今年预算编制的 8,500 个普通勤务警员岗位中，约有 700 个空缺。

然而，支持增加警员的候选人们指出，尽管约翰逊表示削减加班支出是优先事项，但该市经常大幅超出年度警察加班预算：去年拨款 1亿美元，而实际支出为 $285.800 万。

在接受《论坛报》采访时，吉安诺普利亚斯表示，他的目标是不论人员流失情况如何，将芝加哥警察局的宣誓警员人数增加 1,000 至 1,500 人。当被问及这是否符合财政责任时，他表示：“我可以有力地证明，如果我们积极招聘更多警察，”缩短进入警察学院的时间，并将约 600 个宣誓岗位平民化，“我们可以降低加班成本，最终最差也能实现收支平衡；最好甚至能削减部分成本。”

“关于芝加哥的叙事是公共安全仍然是一个问题，而且对我来说，它影响着方方面面，”吉安诺利亚斯（Giannoulias）说道。“作为一名候选人并表示我想雇佣更多警察是一回事，但你必须意识到招聘中存在的问题并找到根源。”

吉安诺利亚斯还表示，他将填补宪法警务职责中的职位。他承诺在他的政府中设立一个高级副职，专门负责应对家庭暴力和基于性别的暴力，并为家庭暴力受害者推出一项“快速视频响应”服务，使其能在几分钟内呼叫经过专门培训的警员，而无需等待人员亲临现场响应。

那四位呼吁增加 1,000 名警员的候选人——以及两位尚未提出此要求的候选人，即美国众议员迈克·奎格利（Mike Quigley）和前市议员乔治·卡德纳斯（George Cardenas）——还承诺恢复芝加哥的 ShotSpotter 声学枪击检测系统。布兰登·约翰逊此前在基层反对声中关闭了该系统，反对者认为这项技术无效且损害了黑人和拉丁裔社区。

将竞选重点放在犯罪问题上的门多萨和凯利表示，州政府必须修改《SAFE-T 法案》，将被告在审前释放的范围限制在居家监禁，这预示了他们将如何利用市长的影响力。在另一个与约翰逊的关键分歧点上，凯利表示社区暴力干预小组的工作“非常重要”，但他会优先将资金投入到警员身上，因为“没有什么能取代芝加哥警察”。

“我们需要在预算中找到资金来支付这笔费用，因为这是一个优先事项，”凯利说。“事实就是，当周围有警察时，芝加哥人会感到更安全。”

第四次竞选市长的威尔逊表示，他将任命四名警察局长，每位局长代表城市的不同区域和不同群体，尽管他并未具体说明在他的计划中哪些群体将拥有专属局长。在 2023 年曾表示警员应该能够像“追兔子一样追捕（嫌疑人）”之后，他再次强调要求放宽限制警察行动的规定。

“你必须给警察解开手铐，”威尔逊告诉《芝加哥论坛报》。“我觉得犯罪率下降了吗？没有，老年人害怕走出家门。”

美国众议员迈克·奎格利在采访开始时列举了一组数据：2025 年芝加哥每 100,000 名居民中的谋杀案数量为 14.6 起，远高于纽约的 3.4 起。

“我们的人均谋杀率高出四倍，”他说。“所以让我们面对现实，并记住民主党人在告诉人们他们的感受时经常会陷入麻烦。”

尽管如此，这位连任九届的国会议员仍将竞争对手的招聘承诺斥为政治作秀。他表示，这种呼吁没有考虑到城市严峻的财务困境，以及招募和培训足够数量的警察班级所需的时间，相反，他主张在暴力高发时段增加执勤警员。

“在我看来这听起来像是一句为了宣传而说的俏皮话，因为这将非常耗时、非常昂贵，而且不会立即实现，”他说。“我认为目前的直接应对方案是更高效地利用我们现有的警力。”

与此同时，芝加哥住房管理局董事会成员马修·布鲁尔（Matthew Brewer）赞同认为，问题不在于城市是过度警务还是警力不足，而在于是否是“恰当的警务”。他表示，“少数几个街区造成了不成比例的暴力犯罪”，并誓言向这些街道投入包括执法力量、就业机会和新警务技术在内的资源。

“拥有 15,000 名警员的时代已经过去了，”布鲁尔说。“我们现在接近 12,000 人，而且我们确实拥有能够增强和补充警员工作的技术。”

企业家乔·霍尔伯格（Joe Holberg）表示，他也将重点将警察局的文职工作平民化，并推动更多警员在街头巡逻而非仅仅响应紧急情况，以建立信任并修复关系。

霍尔伯格特别关注交通安全，呼吁增加列车清洁次数、安装新的烟雾传感器、完善投诉系统、加强票务执法，并提供更多服务以引导芝加哥的无家可归者离开列车进入避难所。

曾任心脏病专家后成为医疗举报人的丽莎·尼（Lisa Nee）博士表示，该部门的问题比人员数量更深层。她说，尽管她希望增加警员人数，但仅设定一个目标数字是不够的。

她说：“你现在是将数百人投入到一个显然未能发挥最佳效能的现有系统中。”

她自称是一个“由数据驱动的人”，并表示她反对利用借口进行的交通拦截检查，同时呼吁改进部门管理，以加强招募、关注警员身心健康，并为芝加哥警察局（CPD）内部提供更多晋升机会。

前市议员乔治·卡德纳斯（George Cardenas）表示，他将在就职后的前100天内建立一个新的公共安全指挥中心，并认为该办公室将与市公共安全管理局有实质性的不同。

现任库克县审查委员会（Cook County Board of Review）委员的卡德纳斯承认谋杀案有所下降，但补充道：“人们对犯罪的感知并没有下降，而这种感知就变成了现实。”

他还认为，市长在预防犯罪方面所谓的“根源性”方法在实际结果方面“完全没有关联”，例如约翰逊大肆宣传的青少年夏季就业计划，在卡德纳斯看来，这只是在做无用功，而非真正的提升。

他说：“我们正在花钱，在为年轻人投资，我们应该用能够改变他们生活的技能来回报他们。我们正在浪费实现这一目标的机会。”

是否应归功于此？

在阐述其打击犯罪的广泛举措时，约翰逊将矛头指向了许多竞争对手所共同采取的“警察优先”策略。

他指出，自己投入了大量心力来改进警察局，任命了广受赞誉且能提升士气的局长拉里·斯内林（Larry Snelling）——后者于上月卸任——并专注于招聘和晋升侦探以提高破案率。

关于增加 200 名侦探的这项竞选承诺，由于警局人员的自然流失，实际人数并未大幅增长。截至 2023, 5 月，芝加哥警察局共有 1,102 名侦探，而截至上周，这一数字为 1,163 名。

他表示，这种“全力以赴”的方法还包括约翰逊增加了在南区和西区的基础设施支出，以及市府对枪支制造商提起诉讼，以向其施压，要求其移除那些易被犯罪分子改装成更危险武器的枪支。他补充说，这还包括在谋杀案减半的社区实施青年招聘计划和社区暴力干预。

芝加哥大学犯罪实验室执行主任罗莎娜·安德斯（Roseanna Ander）表示，犯罪率下降是事实，但原因尚不明确。她说，很难将此归功于芝加哥特有的手段，因为其他在新冠疫情期间犯罪率激增的城市目前同样在经历下降。

她说：“这无法解释为什么巴尔的摩正处于历史低点，为什么费城以及许多其他城市也是如此。”

她还表示，虽然芝加哥犯罪率的下降令人鼓舞，但随着其他地区持续大幅下降，芝加哥的下降速度正在放缓。尽管整体谋杀人数在下降，但与枪支相关的谋杀案同比略有增加，安德斯将这一变化归因于大容量弹匣和格洛克（Glock）“转换开关”的普及，这些装置能让手枪射击速度更快。

就约翰逊而言，他坚持认为没有比安全更重要的事情。他表示，其他候选人近视地追求那些已被证明失败的、向警务倾注资金的尝试，而他则是在这座城市犯罪率最高的社区之一抚养家庭。

他说：“那些没有相同利益相关度的人，往往更容易出错。”“我认为有太多的政治家已经脱离实际。我不知道他们是否重视黑人的生命。”

后者的言论引起了市长挑战者的批评。布鲁尔、卡德纳斯和门多萨引用了自己的成长经历，而凯利和威尔逊则讽刺市长将犯罪问题定格为种族问题。

吉安努利亚斯对此嗤之以鼻。他说：“在本届政府领导下，警察局的士气处于历史最低点。”“这不是我的个人观点。那是警察局的警员以及 CPD 的高层，他们直接给我打电话，与我们见面，告诉我们士气处于历史最低点。所以我建议去问问他们。”

上周，门多萨在布朗兹维尔（Bronzeville）的一家冰淇淋店聚集了几位社区领袖和枪击暴力受害者，倾听他们的故事——并做出承诺。

她誓言，如果当选市长，她将大幅削减市长办公室安保人员的规模，因为她宁愿让更多警察在街头巡逻，而不是陪在身边当“随从”。目前，大约有 100 名警员被分配到 CPD 的政府安保小组，主要用于保护市长；门多萨表示她只需要一名。

随后，她感叹库克县州检察长艾琳·奥尼尔·伯克（Eileen O'Neill Burke）和斯内林“本可以成为梦幻组合”。

她说：“但我们缺失了三脚凳的第三条腿，那就是一位信任我们警察局的市长。”

伊朗

（接 A1 版）

表示在海湾盟友卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国的敦促下，他将命令军队暂停发起新一轮袭击。

周日的战斗发生在该事件仅几天前，此前特朗普政府表示，将把重点转向增加经济压力——而非军事行动——以试图结束这场战争。这一转变的策略核心在于威胁要惩罚任何继续与德黑兰进行贸易的国家或实体。

财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）周日表示，特朗普政府计划本周对另一家银行实施制裁，以期严厉打击与伊朗的交易。目前尚未点名具体银行。上周，美国针对了一家埃及银行，但该制裁尚未生效。

美国转向使用制裁，是因为政府在经历了数月的战争后，正在权衡弹药库存减少的问题，这引发了人们对长期冲突可能会削弱美国在全球其他地区军事准备状态的担忧。

随着冲突陷入僵局，特朗普关于快速结束战争的言论似乎也在逐渐消退。他上周强调，他并不“急于”让伊朗回到谈判桌前，并且他认为伊朗的领导层已陷入绝境。

但在过去一个月中，伊朗高级安全领导层的任命表明，在经历了数十年的制裁以及国内对异见零容忍之后，德黑兰依然在表现出挑衅姿态。

特朗普一直强调，美国和以色列的行动对伊朗的海军和空军造成了毁灭性打击。伊朗官员表示，该国遭受了 2700 亿美元的直接和间接损失。在战争的前几周，以色列的军事袭击消灭了神权政府的大部分领导层。

但伊朗通过袭击霍尔木兹海峡的船只找到了筹码，目前只有相对较少的船只冒险通过。伊朗仍拥有足够的无人机和导弹，可以向利用该水道的船只发射攻击，全球 20% 的石油通常通过该水道运输。

特朗普多次表示“霍尔木兹海峡是开放的”，并称上周有 24 艘船只通过。但这仅是战争开始前每天约 130 艘过境船只的一小部分。

周日早些时候，一个由美国海军监督的多国联盟表示，通过该海峡的商业交通仍处于“较低水平”。

此外，一个由英国军方运行的监测机构表示，周六在海峡内、阿曼哈萨布（Khasab）以北的一艘油轮被一枚未知飞行物击中。目前尚无组织宣布对此负责。

美国军方表示，截至周日，在其对伊朗港口的封锁中，已重新引导 83 艘商业船只，并使 3 艘船只失去功能。

同样在周日，伊朗最高领袖致信神职人员，呼吁穆斯林国家团结起来反对以色列和美国。据官方通讯社 IRNA 报道，伊朗最高领袖穆贾塔巴·哈梅内伊（Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei）敦促穆斯林国家的统治者“认清你们真正的敌人，了解其计划并与其对抗”，并称美国和以色列是所有伊斯兰国家的敌人。

在美国和以色列袭击伊朗、导致哈梅内伊的父亲及其他高级领导人死亡六个月后，哈梅内伊仍未公开露面。他的评论是通过一封写给德黑兰一次会议上宗教领袖的信函发表的。

此外，以色列安全局（Shin Bet）表示，由于收到针对其本人的威胁，已紧急将其总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）的长子从美国撤离。

在周日获得的一份声明中，以色列安全局（Shin Bet）确认亚伊尔·内塔尼亚胡曾面临“重大威胁”，但未详细说明。不过，总理上周告诉一家以色列电视台，伊朗曾试图杀死他的一个儿子。其办公室在周日拒绝发表评论。

亚伊尔·内塔尼亚胡于 2023 年移居迈阿密，在以色列与加沙、黎巴嫩以及伊朗处于战争状态的大部分时间里，他一直不在以色列境内。

他经常担任其父亲的非正式顾问，但有时因在社交媒体上攻击批评者而引发争议。

高利率向美国普通民众发出警告——削减债务

8月20日，财政部长斯科特·贝森特在华盛顿白宫外行走。 JACQUELYN MARTIN / AP

当政府债券价格下跌时，通常意味着两种情况之一：要么是经济强劲，资本需求推高了利率；要么是通货膨胀和过度借贷使未来陷入风险。

近两年来，债券价格大多在下跌，导致利率走高。请将其视为一种警告。

10年期美国国债收益率已从2024年此时的约 $3.7\%$ 飙升至如今的 $4.7\%$ 。30年期美国国债收益率接近20年来的高点，达到 $5.2\%$ ，而两年前仅为 $4\%$ 。公司债券的利率也大幅攀升，美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特近期试图抑制长期利率的努力未能奏效。

自第二任期开始以来，唐纳德·特朗普总统一直敦促美国联邦储备委员会降息，旨在从暂时的经济刺激中获得政治利益。然而，此举将加剧通货膨胀（目前已远超美联储 $2\%$ 的目标），因此尽管白宫持续施压，降息的可能性依然很小。

政府借贷同样成为新闻焦点，因为国家债务已达到令人不安的 $40$ 万亿美元且仍在增加。与此同时，企业正在借入巨额资金以扩展数据中心网络并整合人工智能。对人工智能的需求提高了构建该系统所需的贷款成本。

并非只有美国在经历严酷的通货膨胀和高利率。在整个发达国家，各国央行行长都在为同样的问题感到焦虑。

这一切对普通人意味着什么？简而言之，现在是削减债务的时候了。在2008年金融危机后数年利率较低时，背负沉重的债务负担已变得普遍，但现在维持这些债务的成本已变得过高。

如今，标准的30年期抵押贷款利率约为 $6.65\%$ 。两年前呢？略低一些，但幅度不大。银行信用卡余额、政府担保的教育贷款以及汽车和卡车贷款的利息到目前为止并未与国债同步变动。尽管如此，这些利率已经足够高，再加上房价上涨，使得潜在买家被排除在市场之外。

总体而言，随着债务水平上升，许多家庭的成本在增加。再加上顽固的高通胀、缓慢的工资增长以及波动不定的就业市场，许多处于收入阶层顶端之下的美国人近来感到贫困感加剧。

糟糕的经济氛围对中期选举及之后具有政治影响。由于人们对前景的感受自然而然地变得更糟，消费者信心正承受压力。家庭预算需要为即将到来的挑战时期做出调整。

我们知道，说“削减债务”远比实际操作要容易得多。许多美国人过着月光族的生活。当食品、汽油和房租等基本开支不断上涨时，谁能负担得起偿还债务？

尽管如此，现在采取行动将带来更好的未来。准则第 1 条：当你的财务状况已经不稳时，债务越少总是越好。不过，其他一些方法也能提供帮助。例如，通过重新融资，家庭可以用成本更低的贷款替换高价债务。提供 0% 利率的信用卡余额转移促销活动虽然需要周旋，但可以节省资金并提供灵活性。为了偿还债务，可以考虑通过自由职业或兼职工作等副业来增加额外收入。

在管理家庭财务方面，可以寻求相关帮助。许多雇主通过员工援助计划提供财务咨询。像联合路（United Way）这样的非营利组织（他们并不会试图利用任何人）也提供免费项目。而且毋庸置疑，每个家庭都应该制定预算，而任何真正有意义的预算都应旨在控制债务，并为生活中的不确定性建立一项应急基金。

政府同样如此。在家庭努力维持生计的同时，地方、州和联邦立法者绝不能逃避责任。

正如《华尔街日报》最近指出的，芝加哥挥霍了 COVID-19 救济资金，并且在市长布兰登·约翰逊的领导下继续过度支出。认为斯普林菲尔德会救助芝加哥，而未来的某位民主党总统会救助斯普林菲尔德的观点，已成为共和党人在竞选活动中常用的恐吓手段。

但任何查看资产负债表的人都会意识到，根本没有这笔钱。

芝加哥无法支付其账单。斯普林菲尔德面临着巨大的养老金义务，在承担自身问题的基础上，几乎没有财政空间来接手芝加哥的问题。而联邦政府的压力如此之大，其 $40 trillion 债务预计在短短三年内将达到令人震惊的 $50 trillion。

政府债务达到这种水平将迫使各方做出不愿面对的决定：提高税收、削减福利和服务，以及在危机袭来时缺乏应对的灵活性。

普利兹克对芝加哥教师工会（CTU）和伊利诺伊教师联合会（IFT）表示：“一次性资金应用于一次性需求。” 正确

芝加哥教师工会的领导层喜欢在别人的沙发垫里翻找零钱来支付自己的账单。

最近，斯泰西·戴维斯·盖茨（Stacy Davis Gates）——她同时领导着伊利诺伊教师联合会（IFT），该组织是伊利诺伊教育协会的进步派替代方案——将目光投向了一笔全新的资金。她正盯着伊利诺伊州在未来几年将获得的一笔 $76800 万 的资金，这是与 Meta 公司达成的一项和解协议的一部分。此前，几乎所有美国州都起诉了这家社交媒体巨头，指控其故意设计平台以使儿童上瘾，从而造成无数心理健康损害。

在这项多州和解协议中，伊利诺伊州分得的份额确实是一笔巨款，可以帮助缓解芝加哥公立学校（CPS）的预算困境。该学区在进入本轮预算周期时面临约 7.32亿美元 的缺口，而其通过的预算现在假设——基于一种“只要足够渴望就能实现”的理论——斯普林菲尔德将提供额外的 1.5亿美元。

这笔新资金能成为答案吗？

州长 JB 普利兹克（JB Pritzker）表示不能。

“一次性资金确实应该用于一次性需求，”他周四在斯普林菲尔德告诉记者，“虽然我理解有些人可能将芝加哥的预算缺口视为一次性需求，但事实并非如此。”

州长当然是 100% 正确的，他甚至补充说，如果 CPS 能确定一个“真正的必需短期需求”，他愿意为此拨出部分 Meta 的资金。

当然，普利兹克深知 CPS 有年复一年运行预算赤字的习惯。如果用 Meta 的赔付金来填补这次缺口，CTU 明年还会回来要求更多。

我们并不羡慕那些负责平衡 CPS 账目的人，包括首席执行官麦奎林·金（Macquiline King）和芝加哥教育委员会。然而，我们会鼓励他们在财政现实的范围内运作。

金最初公布的预算方案遭到了 CTU 等人的强烈抵制，因为其中包含了数百人的裁员计划。随后，由 11 名与 CTU 结盟的委员会成员以及市长布兰登·约翰逊任命的人员组成的小组修改了该预算，他们押注于普利兹克会通过提供额外的 1.5亿美元 州政府资金来救援。

在 7 月份，这并不是一个明智的赌注。现在看来则更糟糕。

但我们想象，这批委员会成员之所以敢于这么做，是因为众议院议长埃马纽埃·“克里斯”·韦尔奇（Emanuel “Chris” Welch）在 7 月 29 日与 CTU 的一次会议中打开了方便之门，他在会上承诺将推动补充资金。

约翰逊的市长任期一直以无法与斯普林菲尔德协作而著称，这种能力缺失在他那些教师工会的坚定盟友以及芝加哥教育委员会（CBOE）中结盟的成员身上也同样可见。

人们希望在某个时刻，他们能明白痴心妄想并不等同于治理。一个良好的备份计划是在 11 月 3 日由选民选出具有财政责任感的委员会成员。而 2 月份——以及市长选举——紧随其后。

总检察长夸梅·劳尔（Kwame Raoul）周五表示，州政府将把这笔钱用于旨在解决社交媒体造成损害的项目。

“人们听到有钱就想快点花掉，但我需要向所有垂涎三尺的人明确的一点是，我们的意图非常明确，”劳尔在周四的一次采访中说，“这笔资金将被限制用于减轻社交媒体成瘾以及社交媒体造成的其他损害。”

我们将有兴趣看看具体如何实施。从表面上看，这个决定是合理的，但我们认为，如果能让尽可能多的资金直接流向遭受这些损害的家庭，可能会更有意义。毕竟，各州提起此案正是基于社交媒体对儿童造成的所谓损害。

应该是那些受到这些伤害影响的家长和孩子从这类诉讼中获益——而不是教师工会或其他寻找另一笔可支配资金的政治参与者。

21年前的今天：卡特里娜的愤怒

预测飓风最恐怖之处，就像精确预测它将袭击何处以及造成多少破坏一样困难。

在那些小时里，风声从稳定的呼啸变为咆哮，雨水横向劈砍，像钉子一样猛烈敲击；人们无法确切知道外面发生了什么，也不知道风暴会之字形移动、之字形转向，还是以全部的狂怒正面猛击。

而当风暴结束时，一切并未真正结束。水位继续上涨，卷起由碎片、淤泥、恶臭和危险组成的混合物。 ... 电力中断。电话也中断了，因此无法快速评估视线范围之外发生了什么。 ...

然而，卡特里娜造成的破坏程度是美国自2001.年恐怖袭击以来从未经历过的。其影响将在接下来的几个月，甚至几年内，挑战墨西哥湾沿岸地区的经济及其心理。

在两座堤坝决堤且城市像浴缸一样开始注水后，路易斯安那州州长下令对新奥尔良进行全面撤离。

密西西比州州长表示，他收到未经证实的报告称其州内有多达80人死亡，但由于周二有如此多地区无法抵达，伤亡人数可能会上升。

公路变成了河流，桥梁被冲走，无数房屋和企业被夷为平地。

在统计最终代价——当然包括金钱和生命，但也包括那些储存在已不复存在的家中的、一生珍贵回忆的代价——之前，还需要数月之久。 ...

回到墨西哥湾地区，石油成本可能是大多数人最不关心的事情。在被救出之前，珍·詹金斯在密西西比州莫斯波因特被淹没的家中，蜷缩在阁楼里度过了七个小时。据《比洛克西太阳先驱报》报道，事后她在女儿的怀抱中哭喊道：“我们什么都没剩了。”

女儿回答道：“不对，你还有你自己。”

盖里市值得拥有更好的电网，而非 NIPSCO 的破碎电网与空洞承诺

作者：洛里·拉瑟姆 (Lori Latham) 特约撰稿

凯莉亚·福斯特 (Kylea Foster) 和她 6 岁的儿子凯-阿米尔·戈尔登 (Kai-Amir Golden) 上周在一次面向受近期风暴灾害影响居民的免费社区救济活动中排队领取午餐。自从风暴袭击以来，福斯特及其家人在盖里市埃特纳 (Etna) 社区的家中一直处于断电状态。 E. JASON WAMBSGANS / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

盖里市在面对这场风暴时，背负着数十年以来投资不足、种族隔离、基础设施老化、人口流失以及资源匮乏的沉重负担。在停电期间，这些因素至关重要；如果没有有意识的干预和投资，那些在停电前让我们的居民更加脆弱的同样的不平等因素，将使我们整个社区在停电后的重建变得更加困难。

在席卷印第安纳州西北部的猛烈风暴之后，我的家人断电了 13 天。我们并非个例。盖里地区数以万计的印第安纳州居民在等待电力恢复的过程中度过了近两周的时间。8 月 11 日的德雷乔风暴 (derecho) 与其他极端天气一样，是一次不可预测的事件。然而，长达一周以上的停电则代表了领导层和基础设施的系统性失效。

当我走在所在选区内低收入和经济适用型多户住宅开发区时，很明显，这次停电的影响分布并不均匀。

我们再次看到，长期停电的负担尤其沉重地落在我们最脆弱的邻居身上——低收入家庭和有色人种社区、领取固定收入的老年人，以及患有残疾和心理健康挑战的人群。对于资源较少、替代方案较少的家庭来说，每多停电一天，困境就会加剧。

脆弱性同样存在于社区层面。盖里市在面对这场风暴时，背负着数十年以来投资不足、种族隔离、基础设施老化、人口流失以及资源匮乏的沉重负担。在停电期间，这些因素至关重要；如果没有有意识的干预和投资，那些在停电前让我们的居民更加脆弱的同样的不平等因素，将使我们整个社区在停电后的重建变得更加困难。

让这种情况显得尤为恶劣的是，NIPSCO 的客户多年来一直在为所谓的“电网加固”买单。我们经历了一次又一次的电费上涨，而电力公司通常将其理由归结为需要构建一个更强大、更耐候的电力系统。

盖里市的居民还在为电力公司维持那些几乎不提供（如果还提供的话）任何能源的燃煤电厂，以及为可能开发也可能不开发的用于数据中心的小型模块化核反应堆支付费用。

更糟糕的是，在风暴袭击当天，NIPSCO 向印第安纳州公用事业监管委员会提交了又一份电费上调申请。几天后，这家垄断电力公司又提交了两项电费上调申请。如果州监管机构批准这些请求，我们每年可能要多支付近 $88 的费用，其中一部分最早将于 11 月 1 日开始出现在我们的账单上。

这绝非韧性、可靠性或可负担性的体现，而当前的这场噩梦绝非不可避免。

多年来，我们一直致力于推动一个更智能、更具韧性且更可负担的能源未来。作为全美有色人种协进会 (NAACP) 盖里分会环境与气候正义委员会的前任主席，

我领导并推动了诸如联邦资助的“全民太阳能” (Solar for All) 等计划的实施，该计划强调创建韧性中心、微电网和分布式可再生能源。盖里市议会一致通过了一项反对 NIPSCO 上调电费的决议，试图让居民的账单保持在可负担的水平。

Nipsco 没有倾听纳税人以及代表其客户社区的民选官员的意见。相反，它为了追求越来越高的利润，放弃了对当地电池储能和分布式太阳能的投资，也未能妥善维护其自身老旧的基础设施。

现在是采取积极行动迈向韧性未来的时刻了。让 8月11日成为一个标志性的日子——从这一天起，我们不再坐视这些至关重要的计划停滞不前或被政治心血地干扰，并且拒绝依赖一个显然已证明其过时的中心化基础设施模型。

我们厌倦了为一家无法保证电力供应的公用事业公司买单。我们需要透明度，我们需要立即问责，我们需要转变关注重点。Nipsco 必须将民众置于利润之上，而我们的州和国家领导人必须停止阻碍那些能够提供真正韧性路径的可再生基础设施项目。

我们理应拥有一个为所有人服务，而不仅仅是为那些能够承担等待成本的人服务的电网。

罗斯福与艾森豪威尔是政治家风范的典范

制定了一项新的国家安全战略。

1932年11月6日，纽约州州长富兰克林·D·罗斯福在结束了数月艰苦的民主党总统候选人竞选活动后，在自家的壁炉旁放松休息。罗斯福在就任总统后，会向全国发表“炉边谈话”。美联社（AP）

作者：约翰·T·肖（John T. Shaw） 特约撰稿

长期以来，我一直对富兰克林·D·罗斯福和德怀特·D·艾森豪威尔的总统任期深感兴趣，并认为他们各自为美国目前迫切需要的政治家风范提供了重要且具有启发性的范例。

罗斯福是一位自由派民主党人，而艾森豪威尔则是一位保守派共和党人。他们的家庭、教育、性格、职业背景、治理风格以及政治技巧截然不同。然而，两人分别代表了各自政党治理哲学和领导传统的最高水准。他们都提供了令人信服的政治领导力教训。

罗斯福出身于纽约的一个富裕家庭。他在30多岁时患上小儿麻痹症，这使得他原本顺遂的早年生活和前途光明的政治生涯有所放缓，但并未停滞。他拒绝被部分瘫痪击垮，成为一名高效的纽约州州长，随后四次当选美国总统，从1933年起任职直至1945年去世。他以一种积极且实验性的治理方法带领美国度过了大萧条。

他说：“采取一种方法并尝试它，这是常识。如果失败了，就坦率地承认，然后尝试另一种。但最重要的是，要尝试一些方法。”

普利策奖得主、历史学家大卫·肯尼迪最近告诉我，罗斯福拥有一种接近于“政治魔术”的天赋。他洞察时代的基调，以及其中愤怒、恐惧与绝望的复杂交织。根据肯尼迪的说法，罗斯福拥有一种“在特定时刻把握历史机遇”的特殊能力。罗斯福为惊恐且沮丧的美国人提供了一个安全未来的愿景。他定期通过广播发表的“炉边谈话”以其温暖、清晰和坚决地吸引了全国观众。

“朋友们，晚上好，”他这样开始，提供想法、计划，以及最关键的——希望。他散发出自信。

罗斯福既是一位危机管理者，也是一位结构性改革者，他从根本上改变了联邦政府的角色以及国家对国家的期望。除此之外，在20世纪30年代末和40年代初，他还巧妙地引导美国度过了想象中最具威胁的国际动荡时期。在第二次世界大战中，罗斯福与英国的温斯顿·丘吉尔精明且勇敢地领导西方在对抗纳粹德国和帝国日本的史诗级战斗中前行。即便在这样一场全球斗争之中，罗斯福依然在思考未来，并预见到一个新的联合国可能发挥的关键作用。

艾森豪威尔虽然与罗斯福处于同一时代，但来自另一个世界，并展现出不同的领导风格。艾森豪威尔出生在一个有七个男孩的家庭，在堪萨斯州阿比林一个通常被认为是贫民区的地方长大。

他在西点军校学习，拥有卓越的军事导师，培养了非凡的领导能力，并成长为一名五星上将，领导了史诗般的D日登陆以及对欧洲的重新征服。他的上司、以吝啬赞美而闻名的乔治·马歇尔将军告诉艾森豪威尔：“你为了人类的福祉创造了历史，伟大的历史，并且代表了我们对一名美国陆军军官的所有希望和钦佩。”

艾森豪威尔拥有钢铁般的纪律、阳光般的自信，以及热爱组织挑战的头脑。他说，解决实际问题对他而言就相当于“玩填字游戏”。

战争结束后，他起初避谈政治，但最终还是投身其中。他在1952年获得了共和党的总统提名，并在当年以及1956年的全国大选中以压倒性优势获胜。艾森豪威尔虽然不像罗斯福那样能言善辩，但他凭借灿烂的笑容和自信的风度与人们沟通。美国人钦佩并信任“艾克”（Ike）。

他是纪律严明且高效政府的拥护者。他的政治家才干体现在规划、组织和建设上。他监督了圣劳伦斯航道和州际公路系统的建设，扩展了美国的太空计划，创建了美国国家航空航天局（NASA），平衡了联邦预算，并且

艾森豪威尔的领导力基于他所描述的“与人交往时公平、体面且合理，合理地承认观点可能存在分歧，并不断寻求一个可以共同协作的高地和坚实基础”。

他对美国全球角色的愿景简单而深刻。美国应当“展现出坚定而不粗暴、调解而不妥协、自信而不傲慢的精神”。

艾森豪威尔的告别演说堪称政治家才干的典范。除了对新兴的“军事工业复合体”做出具有预见性的警告外，他还强调了克制与管理责任。他说，美国人应当“避免那种只为今天而活的冲动，为了我们自己的安逸和方便而掠夺明天的宝贵资源。我们不能在不冒风险失去子孙后代政治和精神遗产的情况下，抵押他们的物质资产”。

无论我们的党派隶属或政治观点如何，美国人都应当欣赏罗斯福的独创性、决心和信心，并赞赏艾森豪威尔的能力、规划和管理。我们需要罗斯福的灵活性与敏捷性，以及艾克的稳健与耐力，以成功应对移民改革、赤字与债务、气候变化以及其他挑战。

我敦促我们当前的领导者将艾森豪威尔椭圆形办公室办公桌上的名牌文字作为他们的信条。一面是拉丁语：“Suaviter in modo, fortiter in re.” 另一面是英文翻译：“态度温和，行动果决。”

感谢多莉·帕顿，感谢你的音乐、幽默感与公共服务

周三，在多莉·帕顿于田纳西州纳什维尔平静离世后的次日，尼卢·塔巴塔拜在芝加哥埃奇沃特社区的一幅多莉·帕顿壁画前献花。ARMANDO L. SANCHEZ / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

克拉伦斯·佩奇

人们告诉我，模仿是最真诚的奉承。因此，当我听到多莉·帕顿在一次采访中提到，她曾悄悄参加过一场在洛杉矶举办的“多莉·帕顿模仿秀”变装皇后比赛——并且输了时，我并不感到惊讶。

帕顿于周二去世，享年 80 岁。她很喜欢讲述这个故事，这在很多方面说明了，即便对于多莉本人来说，成为“多莉”也并非总是那么容易。

“没有人鼓掌，”她在 2025 年 5 月的一次电台采访中说道，“只有零星的掌声，那大概是我发型师大卫在鼓掌。”

真是讽刺。也许是因为她看起来太像本人了，以至于没人相信她真的是本人。

无论如何，这个小故事告诉了我们很多关于多莉的事情。她的粉丝会说，她不仅仅是对不同的人持有宽容态度，更是对他们敞开怀抱。

许多人因其音乐才华而称她为“乡村音乐女王”，而她用深情的嗓音以及在歌曲和诗篇中富有启发性的叙事征服了我。

她还展现了作为演员、商业女性、时尚偶像和慈善家的卓越能力，且在这一切过程中，从未失去她那迷人的乡土幽默、优雅与魅力。

正如古话所说，她从未忘记自己的出身。事实上，她最好的创作素材就源于此——她是田纳西州农村一座小木屋里 12 个孩子中的第四个。如今，这座木屋被复制在位于田纳西州鸽子锻造市的她自己的主题公园“多莉坞”的展览中。

我对她的欣赏在惠特尼·休斯顿的超级热门歌曲《我将永远爱你》中再次被唤起，这首歌在 1992 年惊悚片《保镖》的电影原声带中广为人知。

帕顿在准备结束与乡村音乐同行波特·瓦格纳的合作关系时写下了这首歌。

尽管许多人将这首强有力的爱情芭乐曲视为世界级的分手之歌，但帕顿和瓦格纳都否认他们的创作伙伴关系中存在任何浪漫情愫。多莉实际上与卡尔·迪恩结婚了近 60 年，直到他于 2025 年去世。

她在职业生涯中创作了 3,000 多首歌曲，她描述自己的创作始于 5 岁时作曲的一首曲子。

多莉是一个纯朴善良的人。这种品质在她创作的歌曲以及她的生活方式中闪光。难怪她在社会各阶层以及地球的每个角落都有粉丝。

在她众多令人难忘的艺术合作中，包括 1990 年代中期（mid-19）与南非黑人阿卡贝拉组合 Ladysmith Black Mambazo 的合作。该组合与她共同翻唱了鲍勃·迪伦的《敲敲天堂之门》和凯特·史蒂文斯的《和平列车》。后来，她邀请该组合在多莉坞演出。

该组合成员、创始人之子西邦吉塞尼·沙巴拉拉向帕顿的家人表达了哀悼。

“这次可怕的逝世不仅是对他们，对全世界来说也是如此，”他告诉 BBC 世界服务频道，“她内外兼美。”

回到美国，我对多莉的敬意在新冠疫情期间美国人被封锁时得到了极大的提升。当许多美国人感到近乎恐慌，担心接下来会发生什么时，多莉·帕顿挺身而出，宣布向范德堡大学医学中心捐赠 100万美元，以帮助加速 Moderna 疫苗的研发。当时至少有一位记者建议将该疫苗重新命名为“多莉疫苗”。

如果她的遗产除了优秀的音乐之外还能被人们铭记，我会投票给“想象力图书馆”（Imagination Library）。这是帕顿在 1995 年发起的一项计划，灵感来自她不识字的父亲。

该项目每月向数百万名从出生到 5 岁的儿童邮寄一本免费书籍。得益于企业和非营利组织的合作伙伴关系，以及州政府的拨款，“想象力图书馆”已分发了超过 3 亿 本免费书籍。

帕顿在其他方面也是一名开拓性的慈善家。2016 年，当山火袭击大烟山地区的社区时，她每月向失去家园的家庭开出 $1,000 支票。

正如《纽约时报》所评论的那样，这项紧急援助“使她成为了流行文化中最慷慨的慈善家之一”。其他富豪也开始通过她的基金会进行慈善捐赠。

值得思考的是，尽管帕顿自己没有孩子，但她将如此多的慈善精力集中在帮助儿童和家庭上。从这个意义上说，亲爱的多莉让我想起我最喜欢的一位小学老师，她曾告诉我们班，她不需要在家里有孩子，因为她很高兴拥有我们所有人。

也许多莉也是这样想的。人们将深切地怀念她，而且，正如我们应该对所有尽职的教师所说的那样，我们感谢她的奉献。

民意之声

前往奥黑尔机场的快车

我很有兴趣地阅读了 8 月 25 日的文章《提议 15 分钟抵达奥黑尔的火车》以及 8 月 25 日的社论《从卢普区到奥黑尔 15 分钟快车？我们支持》，这两篇报道讨论了拟议的“奥黑尔飞梭”（O'Hare Flyer）快车。实现这一目标的一种更便宜且更高效的方法是利用现有的芝加哥交通局（CTA）基础设施。

蓝线连接奥黑尔国际机场和卢普区。通过增加几个道岔，机场快车就可以在区间车之间穿梭，并在奥黑尔与卢普区之间不停站运行。系统软件可以轻松更新，以确保机场快车能够安全地绕过速度较慢的区间车。改善蓝线的基础设施成本将仅为拟议的“奥黑尔飞梭”或埃隆·马斯克隧道的一小部分。而且，由于不需要面对重大的监管障碍（例如与铁路公司谈判和获得联邦批准），其完成时间也可以大大缩短。

现有的 CTA 列车可以配置为快车运行。不过，建造新车厢会更有利。这些车厢可以配备最先进的悬挂系统，从而在现有轨道上以更高速度安全行驶，并增强稳定性，降低噪音并提升乘客舒适度。机场快车车厢可以采用不同的设计 / 颜色，以便乘客能迅速将其与蓝线列车区分开，并配备行李架和其他适合旅行的功能。

可以利用卢普区现有的蓝线车站，这比拟议在旧邮局建立的新“奥黑尔飞梭”车站要方便得多。如果能有一个专门的卢普区车站，让机场快车从蓝线分叉并平行运行，那就太好了，但这可以以后再实现。

此外，同样的概念也可以应用于橙线，运行往返于中途机场（Midway）的快车。

——保罗·朱特纳（Paul Juettner），芝加哥

减少蓝线停站数

关于那篇讨论将乘客从卢普区接送到奥黑尔国际机场的火车的文章：这听起来比过去提出的其他想法更可行。我想知道为什么市里不设立蓝线 A 线和 B 线，从而减少从市中心到奥黑尔的停站数。这可能会缩短前往奥黑尔的时间，或许能缩短到 30 分钟以内。基础设施已经就绪，而且市中心正是游客聚集的地方。

5 月 28 日，航空公司乘客在奥黑尔国际机场下 CTA 蓝线列车。JOSH BOLAND / CHICAGO TRIBUNE

当然，市中心的车站需要升级，特别是针对携带行李的游客：需要能正常工作的电梯或自动扶梯，以及能够协助游客的工作人员。

此外，许多车站脏得令人心酸，需要进行清洁、维修和重新粉刷。芝加哥的地铁站是许多游客抵达这座城市后首先看到的景象之一。就个人而言，我热爱 CTA，但我认为它可以在形象展示和实用性方面做得更好。

最后，我不认为 15 分钟快车和更快捷的蓝线不能共存。

——保罗·R·赫尔曼（Paul R. Herman），芝加哥

如何减少枪击事件

8月2日的评论文章（《能够将芝加哥枪击案减少一半的四个想法》）提出了将芝加哥刑事枪击案减少50%的方法，但这引发了一个问题：芝加哥人起初为什么应该满足于枪击案减少50%？作者——前芝加哥警察局临时局长查理·贝克（Charlie Beck）、芝加哥大学教授延斯·路德维希（Jens Ludwig）以及社区暴力干预专家奇科·蒂尔曼（Chico Tillman）——声称有四种“基于证据”的方法可以减少枪击事件。但他们忽略了两个必要的组成部分。

首先，必须停止针对年轻人的“全是你们的错”这种叙事，因为他们与自己所处社会环境的形成毫无关系。否则，我们还不如责怪他们导致了COVID-19疫情或引发了气候变化。现在是时候意识到，年轻人是解决方案而非问题所在，任何有效的反暴力策略都应将他们转化为拥有权力的合作伙伴，从而加强社区的问责机制。

这种改变或许始于修复破窗、清理充满垃圾的空地、减少武器的可获得性以及加强执法人员的培训，但它绝不能始于试图修复缺乏冲动控制的问题。它应该从更积极的方式开始：感谢那些在少数几所公立高中，以及散布在教区教室和特许学校学习中心里的年轻人，他们提高了学术卓越的标准。我们应当认可那些尽管面临住房不稳定但仍能保持近乎全勤的学生，而且早就该承认那些默默引导同伴远离参与“青少年接管（teen takeovers）”活动的无名学生。

其次，现在是时候认识到是什么让社区发挥作用了。三十年前发表的一项关于反社会行为起源的开创性研究——“芝加哥社区人类发展项目”

——将“集体效能（collective efficacy）”，即一种社会凝聚力和非正式社会控制感，确定为抵御违规和犯罪行为的缓冲地带。研究发现，当邻里之间相互认识、相互支持，并共同为孩子制定行为标准时，预期的犯罪行为就不会发生。

邻居有能力影响其街区和社区的行为，而年轻人也可以被要求遵守摒弃暴力的问责标准。预防的前提是为每个人创造一个可以承担的问责角色，无论这个角色多么微小或看似无关紧要。

这样做传递出的信息是：“你的生命对我而言很重要。”

儿科护理的优先事项

芝加哥大学医学中心最近宣布任命艾米莉·蔡斯（Emily Chase）为科默儿童医院（Comer Children's Hospital）的首任院长。作为科默医院的一名医学生，我对蔡斯的任命表示欢迎。新的领导层为新的愿景提供了机会，儿科倡导者应当对此予以重视。

在伊利诺伊州乃至全国，随着报销额度的下降，许多医院一直在关闭儿科住院部门，并关闭高急诊级别的 Level 1 设施。一个长期存在的问题是：我们的医疗体系究竟是为谁而建，儿科护理又处于什么位置？

科默医院是服务于芝加哥南区唯一的学术儿童医院，负责照顾该地区最脆弱的患者。然而，在其综合医疗体系中，儿科护理必须与成人护理竞争，而后者通常更具盈利能力。医疗管理人员经常说：“没有利润，就没有使命。”儿科服务不成比例地照顾着依赖医疗补助（Medicaid）的家庭，而这些家庭的报销率很少能与富裕的、以私人支付者为主的市场相匹配。在这些报销压力之下，科默医院的新篇章不应让利润变成使命。

现在是进行战略愿景规划的时候了。可以将其称为 Comer 2035，这是一个独立于该系统更广泛的 Elevate 2035 计划的愿景，旨在阐明科默医院针对儿科的特定价值和承诺。

我对蔡斯这位经过验证的变革型领导者持乐观态度；问题在于这种变革是否会延伸到儿科护理。此时此刻，儿科倡导者需要将诚实的审视与乐观精神相结合，否则我们可能会眼睁睁地看着南区的儿科护理水平低于我们孩子应得的标准。

芝加哥最脆弱的孩子们往往在医疗决策中缺乏话语权。芝加哥大学医学中心提供了一个改变这一现状的真实机会。如果我们为其发声，科默医院的前景将十分光明，而蔡斯的领导力可以成为处于儿科医学前沿的典范。

关于指控的处理

8月 27 日头版关于迈克尔·普莱格（Michael Pfleger）牧师返回其奥本格雷舍姆（Auburn Gresham）教区的报道（“大主教区的程序是不公正的，而且已经崩溃”）给我留下了一些疑问。关于系统“崩溃”的评论，我想知道这是否是一种碎片化认知。真实的性虐待影响了如此之多的人。虽然关于我们在这一问题上是否走到了另一个极端可能存在讨论空间，但我们永远不能忘记，曾经有许多孩子遭受虐待，且在处理这些虐待事件时曾出现过严重的错误。

我希望芝加哥大主教区在继续为那些勇敢站出来的人发声的同时，也能找到一种方法来尊重一个人在被证明有罪之前是无罪的原则。

曼迪·梅（Mandy May），斯科基

电视界中坚人物：一位拥有“老派”价值观与才华的新闻人

作者：Rick Kogan 《芝加哥论坛报》

吉姆·鲁德尔（Jim Ruddle）可能在 40 年前就从当地电视屏幕上消失了——当时他离开这座城市，驾驶一艘 35 英尺长的定制钢壳快剪船周游世界——但他的逝世消息引发了前同事甚至收视率竞争对手们的一连串回忆与赞誉。

鲁德尔于周四在纽约州赖（Rye）因自然原因去世，享年 94. 岁。其家人在社交媒体上宣布了他的死讯。

“吉姆·鲁德尔是老派的，而这是一件好事，”WBBM-Ch. 2 的前主播比尔·库蒂斯（Bill Kurtis）说道。“他是一位重视公正与清晰的主播。追求第一，但必须准确。他的才华在于写作，在电视新闻的早期阶段，这是一项脱颖而出的技能，他的文字在卡尔伯（Kalber）、德鲁里（Drury）、钱斯勒（Chancellor）、克朗凯特（Cronkite）、卡洛韦（Calloway）等名字中留下了印记。能与这些人并列是很棒的……这就是老派。”

曾在 WMAQ-Ch. 5 与鲁德尔共事多年的卡罗尔·马林（Carol Marin）表示：“吉姆拥有过目不忘的记忆力，极高的智商，以及一份涵盖了 PBS、WGN、WMAQ 和 NBC 网络的记者履历。他是老派的……而且他会告诉你，这是最高级别的赞美。”

那么，就用“老派”来形容吧。

詹姆斯·F·鲁德尔（James F. Ruddle）于 20, 1932, 年 5 月出生在俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨，是乔治·鲁德尔和露西尔（巴克斯特）·鲁德尔三个孩子中最小的一个。高中毕业后，他进入塔尔萨大学就读，他高中的一位老师曾是广播员保罗·哈维（Paul Harvey）的导师。

他于 1951. 年加入美国海岸警卫队。在三年的服役期内，他在北大西洋和太平洋担任无线电操作员。

青少年时期，他曾在一家小型广播电台负责棒球比赛播报并处理其他话题和杂务。在海岸警卫队服役结束后，他于 1954. 年加入塔尔萨的一家电视台。随后，他在追求新墨西哥大学研究生学位的同时，沿着播音职业路径走访了许多地方，包括新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基、佛罗里达州坦帕（期间他曾在南佛罗里达大学任教一段时间）以及墨西哥城。

新闻人吉姆·鲁德尔。 NBC 5 芝加哥

他于 1965, 年来到芝加哥，在 WGN-Ch. 9 的新闻节目中与一名叫加里·帕克（Gary Park）的新闻人搭档，成为了如今标准双主播模式的先驱。

1967 年，他转到 WMAQ-Ch. 5，在下午时段的主播和记者岗位上脱颖而出。1975, 年，他采取了一个令人惊讶的举动，进入公共广播领域，成为 WTTW-Ch. 11 的“公共新闻中心”的新闻主播。两年后，他成为 NBC 的区域通讯员。他后来回忆说，他的职责包括“一天 24 小时，一周 7 天，只要他们需要我，我就得在岗……我见过了很多场暴风雪。”

他与妻子安妮结婚，安妮避开公众关注。他们育有四个孩子：艾米莉（Emily）、布莱克（Blake）、布雷（Brey）和克里斯汀（Kristen）。

鲁德尔于 1977. 年回到 WMAQ。许多人认为他是受欢迎的弗洛伊德·卡尔伯（Floyd Kalber）的接班人，但他随后从事了一些主播工作和调查报道，并证明了自己是一名强有力的评论员。

继承了其电视台伦·奥康纳（Len O'Connor）以及当时在 WBBM-Ch. 2 的沃尔特·雅各布森（Walter Jacobson）的电视传统，他的风格犀利且具有挑衅性，有时甚至引起了公司高层的不满。媒体专栏作家罗布·费德（Rob Feder）称他是一位具有“卓越才智和威信”的主播兼评论员。

但他厌恶办公室政治和限制。在 WBBM-Ch. 2, 1986, 年合同到期时，鲁德尔没有签署新合同，他告诉费德：“我不想在这里、那里或任何地方找工作。”相反，他决定全职住在船上。由于妻子留在芝加哥，孩子们开始了成年生活，他开始在名为“Zarzuela”（西班牙语，指一种活泼的音乐剧）的船上开启航海生活。

他航行于大西洋、密西西比河以及五大湖。他与一些芝加哥的老友、他的孩子们及其家人保持着联系。他的妻子安妮于2018年去世，随后他与伴侣兼杂志编辑玛丽琳·巴拉马奇建立了长期的关系。

他最终定居在赖（Rye），并在那里写了一部迷人的青少年小说《我的名字叫卢克》（My Name Is Luke）。这是一个设定在19世纪50年代新英格兰地区的冒险故事，讲述了一个机灵的15岁少年被两名航海恶徒陷害的故事。他表示，创作这部作品的灵感来自他日益增多的孙辈。

在他去世后，女儿布雷·斯隆在Facebook上写道，她的父亲是“一个过着精彩生活的卓越男人……值得信赖的新闻人，极佳的谈话者，水手，冒险家，保护者，史诗般的讲述者，慈爱的爷爷，一个拥有美丽男中音的男人”。

他并不怀念广播电视行业。他告诉一名记者，他觉得自己很幸运，“能够见证电视新闻业的开端及其黄金时代，并且很欣慰现在已经离开了这个行业。现在已经不一样了”。

他曾在WMAQ电视台共事过的同事兼好友、前新闻人以及2012年出版书籍《竞选！：那场震撼芝加哥的1983年选举》（Campaign!: The 1983 Election that Rocked Chicago）的作者彼得·诺兰表示：“吉姆是我在广播电视领域见过最聪明的人。我在WMAQ担任撰稿人时，吉姆与约翰·帕尔默共同主持早间新闻，而传奇人物弗洛伊德·卡尔伯则独立主持10点新闻。那时，我们使用的是一种放在摄像机旁的老式提词器。卡尔伯非常擅长使用它。但吉姆拥有过目不忘的记忆力，他只需研究10分钟剧本，就能在直播时凭记忆读完整个内容。弗洛伊德曾告诉我，鲁德尔拥有整个NBC网络中最棒的嗓音。”

“他还有极佳的幽默感。我最美好的回忆之一就是和他一起在某个社区小酒馆里唱老歌。”

除了子女，鲁德尔还留下了六个孙辈和几个曾孙辈，以及巴拉马奇。

纪念仪式正在筹划中。

回答：你好，克里斯。截至 8 月 29 日，今年八月的温度仅比平均值高 0.1 度。最热的一天是 8 月 10 日，最高气温 87 度。降水量略高于平均水平，比平均值高 0.23 英寸。观测到降雨量最大的一天是 8 月 1 日，当天降雨量为 1.85 英寸。到周一晚上，奥黑尔机场本月的观测结果将显示温度和降水量均接近正常水平。这些观测数据并未记录我们经历过的极端天气。极端天气将使 2026 年的八月让许多人难以忘怀。

美国指导波兰特种部队训练

随着与俄罗斯紧张局势升级，乌克兰战争经验得以共享

德国霍恩费尔斯（HOHENFELS）—— 在一个无月且阴雨的夜晚，一群士兵从一座旨在模拟教堂的破旧建筑中走出。阿尔卑斯山的地形在他们上方若隐若现，他们悄悄地向不远处德国乡村的林线出发。

这些士兵是波兰特种部队的成员，他们正在参加一项几个月前才设计的演习。该演习模拟穿过敌方防线、横跨数英里的敌方领土，并对敌方关键地点发起无人机袭击。

这项于周五开始的演习最初由陆军绿贝雷帽（Green Berets）为美国特种部队设计，其内容参考并模拟了乌克兰军队在与俄罗斯冲突中所经历的许多挑战。这是波兰等北约盟国首次承担此类训练，而此时俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京与北约国家之间的紧张局势正处于升级状态。

“我们正在利用从乌克兰学到的教训，”一名被指派到该训练基地的陆军绿贝雷帽军官周四表示。根据美国军方不公开披露特种部队成员身份的长期政策，该员要求匿名。 “我们看到俄罗斯或乌克兰必须克服的所有那些影响，我们都在尽最大努力地进行复制。”

美联社获得了进入训练场以及接触执行演习部队的罕见机会。此前该演习仅进行过两次，均在今年由两支绿贝雷帽团队执行。

此次演习凸显了美国军方部分部门在学习无人机战争最新技术方面的重点，这些技术由乌克兰在过去 4 ½ 年抵御俄罗斯军队的努力中率先开创。它还表明，尽管特朗普政府警告将削减在欧洲的兵力，但美国、其北约盟友以及乌克兰正共同协作，以应对未来几年俄罗斯可能采取进一步行动的威胁。

据《华尔街日报》报道，中央情报局（CIA）局长约翰·拉特克利夫（John Ratcliffe）上周前往莫斯科，警告俄罗斯不要攻击北约国家。三名周五要求匿名的西方官员表示，俄罗斯有意对北约国家进行破坏活动和网络攻击，但普京希望避免直接对抗。

在德国的演习期间，一名熟悉霍恩费尔斯联合多国准备中心（Joint Multinational Readiness Center Hohenfels，距离纽伦堡向东南行驶约一小时车程）训练方案的高级士兵表示，计划每年运行该方案多次。该军官表示，他预计 32 个北约国家中的大多数（如果不是全部的话）都会表示有兴趣派遣部队尝试该演习。他同样要求匿名。

该演习方案持续数日，在位于巴伐利亚乡村的一块 1,100 平方英里的大片土地上进行。

波兰特种部队将被要求潜行绕过一个美国陆军空降步兵单位，后者的士兵将扮演敌人。该美国陆军空降步兵单位将空降到陆军霍恩费尔斯基地的封闭训练区，并建立起一条前线。

假设波兰军队能够绕过美国陆军，他们随后必须向北移动——穿过约 60 英里的德国乡村——前往格拉芬沃尔（Grafenwoehr）镇的另一个训练区，在那里他们将被要求摧毁一个模拟目标。

在这两者之间分布着德国的农场和村庄、私人和政府摄像头，以及一座人口众多的城市，所有这些不仅构成了障碍，还增加了被发现的可能性。这位高级士官表示，在之前的案例中，美国陆军特种部队（Green Berets）会脱掉制服“以便融入环境”，并补充说，“融入环境也意味着不要被平民看到”。

该地区的德国平民在很大程度上并不知晓此次演习，因此可以作为一项合理的测试，用以检验特种部队融入当地人口的能力。如果他们失败了，平民向警方举报可疑人员的消息将传回军方，进而被用来精准定位该小队。

“这里被设定为俄罗斯，而你会在俄罗斯显得很扎眼，”这位士官补充道。

此外，美国陆军还将利用自己的无人机搜寻波兰军队。这位士官说，如果被发现，“那么整个俄罗斯的军械库都会向你袭来”。

美国陆军既可以派遣宪兵部队带着警犬搜寻波兰特种部队，也可以向该地区派遣更多无人机。这位士官表示，在之前的演习版本中，美国陆军可以使用一百多架无人机。作为训练的一部分，士兵可能会被“俘虏或击毙”。

虽然此次演习利用了无人机和北约的团队协作，但近期军方内部关于协作信息和无人机价值的看法有些不统一。

唐纳德·特朗普总统在削减美国驻欧军队规模的问题上反复无常，引起了北约盟友的困惑，政府已就后续步骤启动了兵力审查。而且就在上周，陆军最高将领关闭了一个专门从事无人机战争的单位。

与此同时，欧洲境内神秘无人机入侵的次数有所增加，就在本月，德国的一座军事基地上空发现了两架无人机，而在德国的一座关键货运机场也发现了一架携带爆炸物的无人机。

NASA最新望远镜旨在揭开宇宙奥秘

执行搜寻隐藏行星、探索暗能量的任务

作者：马西亚·邓恩 (Marcia Dunn) 美联社

佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角 —— NASA最新的“皇冠之珠”望远镜于周日发射升空，旨在搜寻其他恒星周围的行星，探索神秘的暗能量，并以前所未有的方式勘测宇宙。

SpaceX公司在黎明后不久，利用一枚推力增强三倍的“猎鹰重型”（Falcon Heavy）火箭，将价值43 亿美元 billion的罗马空间望远镜（Roman Space Telescope）送入太空。罗马望远镜正飞向一个距离地球100 万 miles的观测点，那里也是NASA另一台昂贵的太空之眼——韦伯空间望远镜（Webb Space Telescope）的所在地。

这台巴士大小的望远镜是以已故的南希·格雷斯·罗马（Nancy Grace Roman，NASA首任首席天文学家）命名的，它将花费三个多月的时间到达目的地。抵达后，它将从太空以迄今为止最宽广的视野审视宇宙的隐藏部分，以无与伦比的速度揭开难以想象的奥秘。

“它将发现数千颗超新星、数万颗行星、数十亿个星系和数百亿颗恒星，”NASA科学任务主任尼基·福克斯（Nicky Fox）表示，“凭借其巨大的视野，它将能够完成我们以前从未能实现的事情。”

在肯尼迪航天中心雷鸣般的发射几分钟后，火箭的两个可重复使用侧助推器以尾部优先的方式下降，场面惊心动魄，在返回卡纳维拉尔角着陆时产生了剧烈的音爆。不久之后，望远镜成功与火箭上级分离，引发了地面控制人员的掌声。

福克斯在观看这一过程时流下了眼泪。

“这是如此美好的一天！”她说。

几小时后，NASA局长贾里德·艾萨克曼（Jared Isaacman）正在举行新闻发布会，预测罗马空间望远镜很快将成为家喻户晓的名字，这时他的手机响了。总统唐纳德·特朗普在电话中表示祝贺。

“天哪，在电视上看起来太美了，”特朗普说，他周五刚访问了休斯顿的约翰逊航天中心，以向“阿尔忒弥斯2号”（Artemis II）登月机组人员致敬。“你们在太空领域是最炙手可热的。”

罗马望远镜的视野比NASA的哈勃空间望远镜（Hubble Space Telescope）宽100倍以上，后者在轨道上运行36年后，依然在不断产出绝美的天体照片。韦伯望远镜在几年前加入了这一行列，它拥有更窄但更精准的视野，能够缩放观察几乎与创造宇宙的“大爆炸”一样古老的物体。

这三台轨道上的“动力之源”将与欧洲空间局的欧几里得（Euclid）航天器以及美国国家科学基金会在智利的薇拉·鲁宾天文台（Vera C. Rubin Observatory）联手，揭开宇宙中一些最大的秘密。

在等待被发现的无数星系中，存在着带有行星的恒星。一旦这些新世界被罗马望远镜发现，功能更强大且更灵敏的韦伯望远镜将对其进行瞄准，以填补细节空白。

“罗马望远镜的广阔覆盖范围将使我们能够发现古怪、稀有且不寻常的事物，”高级项目科学家朱莉·麦克埃纳里（Julie McEnery）在发射前夕表示，“我们将重新定义‘大海捞针’的含义。”

或许更重要的是，天文学家期望罗马望远镜能阐明构成宇宙大部分但仍处于隐藏状态的暗物质和暗能量。罗马望远镜的星系目录将帮助科学家确定，在这些令人费解的无形力量作用下，宇宙扩张的速度有多快。

罗马望远镜的“超能力”在于速度。

据麦克埃纳里称，罗马望远镜进行一个月银河系观测所需的时间，哈勃望远镜需要一个世纪才能完成。她补充道，罗马望远镜应该能快速扫描位于正中心的银河系核球，从而提供迄今为止对我们星系核心最深入的观察。

除了一个灵敏度与哈勃相当但速度快 1,000 倍的宽场红外相机外，罗曼空间望远镜还配备了一台用于遮挡星光的仪器。这台实验性的、能制造日食效果的日冕仪将使罗曼能够直接拍摄任何可能在被遮蔽的恒星周围运行的行星，无论其光芒多么微弱。

福克斯表示，虽然罗曼的设计初衷并非寻找生命，但它将为未来的天文台回答美国国家航空航天局（NASA）认为的最重大问题铺平道路：“我们是孤独的吗？是否还有另一个‘地球 2.0’在凝视着我？”

该望远镜在设计时考虑到了燃料补给，这意味着如果在未来十年内出现了机器人油轮，其使用寿命有望得以延长。

罗曼空间望远镜比原计划提前近一年发射且未超预算，它是 NASA 首个以女性命名的空间望远镜。

退休的 NASA 科学家埃德·韦勒表示，这份荣誉迟到了很久。他将罗曼称为“哈勃之母”，罗曼在 1978 年雇佣了他。罗曼在 1959 年加入刚成立的 NASA 后一直坚持认为，位于地球遮蔽大气层之上的天文台可以看得更远、更清晰。她于 2018 年去世，享年 93 岁。

“这非常、非常合适。我想南希会感到非常自豪的，”韦勒说道。

在冲突中援助美军的阿富汗人亲属被驱逐至非洲

作者：Miriam Jordan 和 Hamed Aleaziz 《纽约时报》

据倡导组织称，一架载有约 70 名外国国民的驱逐飞机于周五飞往中非共和国。这类航班的数量正在增加，已将数千名移民送往与其毫无联系的国家。

总部位于美国的阿富汗盟友援助组织 AfghanEvac、美国公民自由联盟（ACLU）以及一名要求匿名的知情人士表示，机上有一名 24 岁的阿富汗人，其父亲、兄弟和姐妹曾与美国军队共同工作。

在美军于阿富汗开展的 20 年军事行动期间，援助过美军的阿富汗人的亲属被驱逐出境，这违背了美国长期以来保护战时盟友的承诺。五年前，在塔利班推翻美国支持的政府后，数千名阿富汗人带着家人逃离。

在拜登政府期间，许多人获得了特殊签证或庇护。移民法官向其他人授予了“暂缓遣返”（withholding of removal），这允许未获得庇护的非公民留在美国，因为如果被遣返回国，他们将面临严重危险。

特朗普政府一直试图剥夺数十万人的受保护身份。在最高法院的一项裁决之后，该政府开始与第三国签署协议以接收被驱逐者。

据追踪第三国驱逐航班的组织“人权优先”（Human Rights First）和“国际难民组织”（Refugees International）称，约 19,000 人被送往墨西哥，尽管他们与该国没有任何联系。总体而言，已有 23,000 人被送往他们并非原籍的国家。

周五被驱逐的 24 岁青年哈利尔（Khalil），应其律师要求仅使用名，以确保其安全。他的律师阿尔玛·大卫（Alma David）表示，去年一名移民法官认定他对迫害的恐惧具有可信度，因此授予他暂缓遣返。

国土安全部未就驱逐阿富汗盟友亲属的问题做出回应。

据倡导组织和一名知情人士称，周五被驱逐的人员中约有 20 名阿富汗人。

据追踪驱逐航班的“人权优先”组织称，周五的航班是自 6 月以来第三次飞往中非共和国，而该国正处于自身的内战之中。

美国公民自由联盟移民政策与政府事务副主任萨拉·梅塔（Sarah Mehta）表示：“将那些在移民法庭获得保护的人送往冲突地区，是本届政府采取的一种冷酷且蓄意的策略，旨在强迫人们放弃其主张和权利。”

布兰奇对批评者的担忧不屑一顾

特朗普任命的司法部长、其前私人律师为其执政记录辩护

作者：Alanna Durkin Richer 美联社

波多黎各圣胡安 —— 司法部长托德·布兰奇对唐纳德·特朗普总统的忠诚几乎让他失去了获得任命确认的机会。现在，布兰奇迎来了真正的考验。

这位特朗普的前私人律师已接掌这一领导角色，面临着其他共和党总统领导下的司法部负责人无法克服的挑战：在特朗普打破常规的要求与检察官维护法治的职责之间寻找平衡。

与此同时，布兰奇必须尝试稳定一支因资深律师大量流失以及对司法部门信任度下降而感到动摇的员工队伍。

在上周访问波多黎各期间，布兰奇在接受美联社的一次广泛采访中承诺将以正直的态度领导该部门，并对批评者的担忧不屑一顾。批评者认为，他迄今为止的行为 —— 包括对特朗普的长期对手、前联邦调查局（FBI）局长詹姆斯·科米提起起诉 —— 让人质疑布兰奇是否仍在充当特朗普的私人律师。

在布兰奇监管下，一系列正在进行的具有政治色彩的调查可能会迫使他在对总统的长期忠诚与他所领导的内阁机构的基本原则之间做出选择。目前处于危急状态的是这个已经深受打击的部门，而总统已明确表示，他希望对他曾面临的刑事审查进行报复。

当被问及在面对白宫的要求时将在哪里划定界限时，布兰奇告诉美联社：“我的正直以及我对法治的承诺，与我毕业那天一样没有改变。无论在什么情况下，我都绝不会做任何不道德、不恰当或违反誓言的事情。”批评者对此并不认同。

在担任代理司法部长期间，布兰奇因批准一项 18 亿美元 billion 基金而遭到包括许多共和党人在内的立法者的抨击，该基金旨在补偿那些认为自己受到政治起诉的特朗普盟友。他还批准了一项协议，使特朗普、特朗普集团及其两个儿子免于税务审计。这些举措旨在为总统及其盟友提供广泛利益，属于不寻常的步骤，使布兰奇的任命确认面临风险，并引发了关键参议员的担忧。

在美联社的采访中，布兰奇回应了对其领导下该部门的批评、他作为司法部长的优先事项，以及政府在一些高调案件中的失利。他还将司法部描述为一个独立性早已被侵蚀的机构 —— 这一定性与该部门数十年来挑战华盛顿及其他地区最高权力层的强烈自主性相矛盾。

布兰奇曾是纽约的一名联邦检察官，他现在走在与特朗普另外三位经参议院确认的司法部长相同的钢丝绳上。他们发现，自己维护法治和部门伦理规范的承诺，与总统要求该机构屈从于其意志的要求相冲突。在特朗普的第一任期内，一名司法部长因退出对特朗普获胜的白宫竞选活动的调查而激怒了特朗普，随后被强制离职。另一名则在就特朗普关于选举舞弊的虚假指控与其分歧数周后提交了辞呈。布兰奇的直接前任帕姆·邦迪在未能成功起诉总统的政治敌人后，于 4 月被撤职。

布兰奇本月在两名共和党参议员的反对下勉强获得确认，这凸显了人们日益增长的担忧，即司法部长期以来独立于白宫的传统正在被拆除，而这一传统旨在保护政治敏感调查和起诉的公正性。

布兰奇对司法部应当独立于总统的说法感到愤怒，并且他明确表达了自己的观点，即行政部门拥有塑造和控制该执法机构的权力与权利。

他坚定地为政府针对总统认定的政治对手所提起的案件的公正性进行辩护，并经常提到自己曾代表特朗普应对由民主党总统乔·拜登领导的司法部提起的刑事案件的经验。布兰奇和总统将这些案件定性为具有政治动机。

“我认为总检察长和其他人说过，‘哦，我们是独立的。’我不认为这实际上是真的，”布兰奇告诉美联社。

布兰奇声称，在他担任联邦检察官期间或在拜登政府期间，司法部并非真正独立。

但这种定性忽略了这样一个事实：在拜登任内，司法部就拜登处理机密文件的问题对他本人进行了调查，并在拜登赦免其子亨特之前，在两起独立的案件中对他提出了重罪指控。

特别检察官杰克·史密斯对特朗普提起的两起刑事案件是基于相关指控，且这些指控得到了长期调查的支持，即特朗普在佛罗里达州的海湖庄园持有机密文件并阻碍政府将其追回，且共谋推翻2020年大选结果。

布兰奇试图强调政府在打击非法移民、暴力犯罪和贩毒集团方面的重点，并重点介绍了他在访问美国该岛领地期间宣布的摧毁一个波多黎各帮派的案件。

但布兰奇的政策重点往往被日益增多的调查所掩盖，这些调查引发了批评，认为该部门正被用作总统报复行动的武器。

布兰奇的支持者认为，他在担任特朗普刑事辩护律师期间建立的密切关系，能使他在抵制或解释总统要求的法律限制方面更加有效。其他人则在思考，面对同样的怀疑的法院系统，以及阻碍达成预期结果的事实和法律障碍，他是否会比邦迪表现得更好。

布兰奇还面临着法官对司法部日益增长的不信任，在多个案件中，法官指责政府律师隐瞒信息或误导法院。

在某些案件中，法院撤销了传票或要求审查大陪审团记录；而针对科米和纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯的刑事案件在法官认定提起诉讼的检察官被非法任命后被驳回。

但布兰奇淡化了关于司法信任侵蚀可能会阻碍其推进议程的担忧。

“在我看来，那些成为新闻的孤立事件并不反映法官的真实感受，也不反映全国检察官履行职责的方式，”布兰奇说道。

游园客沉浸在 Tilt-A-Whirl 的乐趣中，经典游乐设施迎来 100 years

作者：艾伦·施密特 (Ellen Schmidt) 和 马克·范克利夫 (Mark Vancleave) 美联社

明尼苏达州法尔科恩海茨 —— 伴随着尖叫与咯咯笑声，甩动的马尾辫和紧握的指关节，明尼苏达州的游园客们正沉浸在 Tilt-A-Whirl 游乐设施的魔力之中，该设施今年迎来了 100 years old。

这款标志性的游乐设施及其色彩鲜艳的车厢于 1926, 在明尼苏达州博览会上首次亮相，从此成为了全美各地博览会的常驻项目。周四，一些刚走下设施的游客接受了美联社的采访，这款设施是许多人的最爱。

瓦莱丽·尼尔森 (Valerie Nelson) 是一名明尼苏达州本地人，她回到家乡参加博览会。她说，她早在 20 世纪 70 年代还是个孩子时就第一次乘坐了 -A-。

“它永远是我最喜欢的游乐设施，”她说，“每当我看到它，我都会尝试上去。我喜欢那种把你推回椅子上的旋转感。”

“这是我唯一愿意乘坐的设施，”来自明尼苏达州斯蒂尔沃特的谢里·格雷 (Sherri Gray) 说，她与尼尔森一同乘坐了该设施。

来自明尼阿波利斯的 7, 岁男孩塞缪尔·米谢克 (Samuel Mishek) 也表示，-A- 是他最喜欢的博览会设施。周四他连续乘坐了两次 —— 当他独自坐在车厢中，随着设施的旋转和颠簸而尖叫。

“我喜欢那些小颠簸，因为你可以做好准备，知道它什么时候会转得非常快，”他说。

自 1926 以来，-A- 一直是全美各地博览会的传统项目。

明尼苏达州法里博尔特一家制造公司的发明家赫伯特·塞尔纳 (Herbert Sellner) 在尝试制作一个带有旋转船的水上设施失败并被一场风暴摧毁后，创造了这款设施。

根据赖斯县历史学会策展人珍娜·尼尔森 (Jenna Nelson) 的说法，在那之后，他的兄弟马丁·塞尔纳 (Martin Sellner) 建议他制作一个陆地版本。

尼尔森研究过塞尔纳家族的历史，她表示，塞尔纳发明的长寿可归功于其设计。

“就其机械加工方式而言，它确实经受住了时间的考验，”她说，并补充道，当时仅售出了约 1,000 辆车厢，而且“所有这些设备在今天基本上是一样的。”

该设施由圆环周围的 7 个独立电机驱动 —— 重力使车厢在凹陷处旋转。设施操作员托马斯·劳蒂尔 (Thomas Lauthier) 表示，乘客的重量在倾斜时会改变车厢的位置，从而使车厢失去平衡。劳蒂尔将他的 -A- 带到全国各地的博览会上。

在过去的 12 年里，劳蒂尔一直在明尼苏达州博览会上操作 -A-。他说，中西部的人们对这款设施有着特别的喜爱。

许多乘客表示，-A- 已成为一种家庭传统。

“在我的记忆中，小时候父母和祖父母带我去博览会，每次我们都会乘坐 -A-。我们喜欢带孩子来做同样的事情，”明尼阿波利斯本地人迈克·普里姆-安德森 (Mike Pream-Anderson) 说，“这绝对是一个家庭传统。想到它今年 100 years old 了，感觉挺不可思议的，但我很高兴我们能成为其中的一部分。”

好友赖利·洛韦特 (Riley Lovett) 和 莫莉·罗斯巴赫 (Molly Rossbach) 在咯咯笑声和怀旧情绪中回味着这次体验，谈论着周四下午心中产生的“紧张感”，并回忆起过去乘坐 -A- 的经历。

在得知该设施已 100, 岁时，洛韦特与好友罗斯巴赫击掌，后者宣布道：“-A- 生日快乐！”

尼泊尔警告可能再次发生洪水，民众努力应对

作者：Victoria Milko 和 Niranjan Shrestha 美联社

尼泊尔达丁（DHADING）—— 尼泊尔当局周日警告可能再次发生洪水，并在博特科希河（Bhotekoshi River）水位上涨后，敦促受灾地区的居民保持高度警惕。

周日凌晨，洪水预警通知被发送到人们的手机上。与此同时，救援人员正努力清理一条连接加德满都与周三灾难性洪水最严重受灾地区的主要公路。此次洪水在尼泊尔和西藏造成至少 800 人死亡，3,000 多人失踪。

尼泊尔国家灾害风险减轻与管理机构首席执行官 Dharam Raj Uprety 表示，最新的警告是在中国当局通知尼方上游水量增加之后发出的。

中国国家通讯社新华社援引该国水利部的话称，周三洪水后在深山中形成的一个新湖泊已基本排空。

但新华社表示，水利部警告称，位于上游 3.5 英里处的一个坑穴（估计蓄水量 3.7 亿加仑）仍存在一定风险，需要密切监测。

尼泊尔灾害机构周日表示，死亡人数已上升至 788 人，2,502 人失踪；而中国当局报告在边境中国一侧有 16 人死亡，546 人失踪。

周三的山洪始于喜马拉雅地区高海拔地带的一次冰川崩塌。科学家表示，冰川下方的基岩发生坍塌，并带走了一部分冰川。这次岩崩规模极大，被记录为一次 5.2 级地震。

失踪人员包括来自十几个国家的数百人，他们当时在该地区工作、游山或前往一座神圣的山峰朝圣。周日，中国官方媒体表示，西藏有 261 名外国人失踪，其中包括一百多名尼泊尔人和来自世界各地的其他人员。

在尼泊尔受灾最严重的地区之一达丁，一些居民开始返回被毁的家中，看看还能抢救出什么。

居民们坐在墙壁被洪水冲走的房子里，将阳台或窗框上的泥土和碎石铲除。

其他人则在地面上搜寻可以从泥泞中捡起并冲洗的物品。一名男子回来找他的鸡，发现它们还活着。他把鸡系好，放在卡车的驾驶室里。

“一切都完了。什么都没留下。连我们的家也没有了，”达丁居民 Sharmila Tamang 在尝试从家中抢救物品时说道。

在一座被洪水严重破坏的关键电厂，工作人员周日开始检查设施以评估破坏情况。该电厂为四个地区的 20,000 多人提供电力。

在加尔奇镇（Galchhi），一群居民在附近的一座桥上寻找高地，看着河水咆哮而过。有些人指向之前洪水冲刷下来的巨石，而站在一座吊桥上的人则被哨声警告离开。

沿着河流，可以看到房屋、车辆和农用拖拉机从厚厚的灰褐色沉积物中凸出来，在某些地区，这些沉积物覆盖了整个村庄。河岸边的部分梯田在遭遇山体滑坡后掉入了河中。

幸免于难的房屋和企业在周日依然没有电，扭曲的电线杆和电线在泥泞中纠缠在一起。

受灾村庄的居民表示，他们难以理解自最初洪水发生以来一直收到的近乎不断的警报。

“有时他们说洪水要来了，然后我们就得再次奔向高地，即便是在深夜。而且还在下雨，”一名居民戈温德·什雷斯塔（Govind Shreshta）说道。“对我来说真的很难。我有一个72岁的父亲和一位70岁的母亲。我必须背着他们，我已经精疲力竭了。对于那些幸存下来的人来说，日子就是这样在继续。”

大型混凝土桥和小型吊桥被摧毁，导致河对岸的社区出行变得更加困难。

对特朗普的恐惧影响书籍封面

非营利组织决定不批准在传记中使用马普尔索的照片

作者：迈克尔·M·格林鲍姆 (Michael M. Grynbaum) 《纽约时报》

这是一幅引人注目且带有威胁感的图像：臭名昭著的纽约市律师、中间人兼政治阴暗艺术大师罗伊·科恩 (Roy Cohn) 那张带有伤疤的面孔，在黑色池塘中无身地漂浮，他那深陷的眼睛直视着观看者。

这张照片由罗伯特·马普尔索 (Robert Mapplethorpe) 拍摄于1981年，是对拍摄对象的难忘刻画。著名作家凯·伯德 (Kai Bird) 认为，这张照片将成为他关于科恩的新传记《美国无赖》(American Scoundrel) 的完美封面艺术，该书将于本周由 Scribner 出版社发行。

这张照片最终未能出现在书封上，令伯德感到遗憾——而这在非营利组织领域中，是一个虽小但具有代表性的例证，说明由于科恩最著名的门生（一名目前正处于第二个总统任期内的野心勃勃的房地产开发商）而根深蒂固的焦虑感。

据三位熟悉其审议过程的人士透露，在管理该艺术家遗产和作品目录的罗伯特·马普尔索基金会决定拒绝照片授权请求时，总统唐纳德·特朗普的影响力占据了主导地位。

马普尔索于1989年去世，人们广泛记得他曾与审查制度作斗争。相关人士表示，在本案中，基金会董事会担心，如果这位曾利用政府杠杆向大学、律师事务所和电视网络施压的总统感到被冒犯，可能会采取报复行动，例如威胁其非营利税务地位。

作为一家慈善组织，马普尔索基金会在法律上被禁止从事某些政治活动。伯德的书副标题为《罗伊·科恩从乔·麦卡锡到唐纳德·特朗普的黑暗旅程》，相关人士称，董事会担心使用这张照片可能会被解读为某种政治行为。

这并非文化组织首次对总统的强硬手段感到惊恐——其中一些手段是他跟随科恩学习而磨练出来的，科恩曾起诉朱利叶斯和埃塞尔·罗森堡夫妇，并协助参议员约瑟夫·麦卡锡进行针对共产主义者的“猎巫”行动。

特朗普曾要求史密森尼学会做出改变，并取得了对约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心的控制权。他曾威胁要剥夺哈佛大学的免税地位。像南方贫困法律中心 (Southern Poverty Law Center) 和民主党筹款平台 ActBlue 这样的非营利团体，曾受到他领导的司法部 (DOJ) 的调查。

伯德于2005年出版的罗伯特·奥本海默传记《美国普罗米修斯》(American Prometheus) 被改编成了克里斯托弗·诺兰执导的奥斯卡获奖电影。他在一次采访中表示，当得知马普尔索基金会拒绝授权该肖像照时，他感到“震惊”且“愤怒”。他说：“这些人如此轻易地被吓倒，真是令人惊讶。”

在关于科恩的书中，伯德写道，基金会的决定是“罗伊的幽灵从坟墓中继续纠缠我们的又一个例子”。

马普尔索基金会拒绝就伯德的批评发表评论。

根据基金会网站，马普尔索在去世前不久成立了该基金会，“旨在保护他的作品，推进他的创作愿景，并推广他所关注的事业”。

他的摄影作品明确描绘了男同性恋者的性生活，曾是多次广为人知的关于言论自由之争的主题。

去年在讨论伯德的传记问题时，这位艺术家的基金会做出了不同的考量。据知情人士透露，基金会董事会认为，任何形式的政府报复都可能耗尽其财务资源，从而给组织带来生存风险。而且，虽然这部传记可能会让人们关注到马普尔索普的作品，但这张照片最终将服务于某位作者的商业行为。

几位第一修正案律师（均未参与基金会的讨论）表示，在学术传记中使用照片通常不构成政治活动。但律师们承认，很难忽视特朗普时代那种不安的氛围。

“认为一张死掉的黑帮律师的照片在某种程度上能被定义为政治活动——即便是在特朗普政府时期——这也是难以想象的，”自由表达组织美国笔会（PEN America）的前首席执行官苏珊娜·诺塞尔（Suzanne Nossel）表示，“然而，我们正处于一个没人觉得自己能排除任何可能性的环境中。”

这张照片本身有着一段传奇的历史。

1981年，安迪·沃霍尔派遣作家兼图书编辑史蒂文·M.L. 阿伦森（Steven M.L. Aronson）为沃霍尔创办的艺术文化刊物《访谈》（Interview）杂志对科恩进行一次问答采访。那时，科恩已是纽约的名人：一个出入 Studio 54 俱乐部派对，并代表大亨、黑帮分子和媒体巨头的权力操盘手。

阿伦森说服科恩为马普尔索普拍摄照片，后者是他的一个朋友，当时作品还相对默默无闻。他们的会面是一次不同寻常的邂逅：一方是赞美男同性恋生活的艺术家，另一方则是深柜律师，其对同性恋的极端仇恨后来被描绘在托尼·库什纳（Tony Kushner）的剧作《天使在美洲》（Angels in America）中。科恩和马普尔索普在那个年代结束前均死于艾滋病并发症。

科恩非常喜爱自己的这张照片，后来与马普尔索普和阿伦森在纽约市中心的 Raoul's 餐厅共进晚餐。“一方面，他热爱曝光，”阿伦森在回忆科恩时说道，“而且这张照片很迷人，就像邪恶通常具有的特质一样。”

对于《美国无赖》（American Scoundrel）的封面，伯德及其出版商最终选用了摄影师布里顿·希尔（Britain Hill）拍摄的一幅肖像画，画中的科恩穿着蓝色细条纹西装，双手合拢在下巴下方。

他依然直视着观众。

市场与经济正考验贝森特的公信力

财政部长在期中选举前 意识到其权力局限

作者：Alan Rappeport THE NEW YORK TIMES

在竞聘唐纳德·特朗普总统的财政部长时，斯科特·贝森特曾指责民主党在构建一个计划经济。他认为民主党对市场的干预是出于政治动机，并称时任财政部长珍妮特·耶伦（Janet Yellen）为了在2024年大选前刺激经济，故意改变了政府债券的销售方式。

“历史告诉我们，优先发展自由企业并限制政府在经济中的作用，是提高生活水平的关键，”贝森特在曼哈顿研究所的一次会议上表示。

两年后，作为财政部长，贝森特正寻求以与其公开主张的哲学相冲突的方式，对市场和经济进行干预。自进入白宫以来，第二任特朗普政府已持有二十多家公司的股权，并为美国的关键矿产工业提供补贴。

贝森特此前曾对关税持怀疑态度，但上周他将政府向公司进口商品征收的税款称为“人民的钱”。

然而，全球对美国沉重且持续的借贷以及伊朗战争的焦虑已无法掩盖，贝森特开始意识到，他试图通过意志引导全球经济的权力是有局限的。

上周，在与伊朗的战争导致通货膨胀加剧六个月后，财政部长公布了新一轮的经济战，并将其命名为“D日”和“经济弃民行动”（Operation Economic Outcast）。这在很大程度上是对其他国家的警告，称如果他们不与伊朗断绝关系，将面临美国的制裁。

本月，作为降低利率努力的一部分，贝森特还试图干预全球金融市场。他通过宣布对货币和债券市场采取令人意外的干预措施，并发出信号称美国政府准备采取进一步行动来实现这一目标。

当市场拒绝了他的举措——甚至他的导师、投资者斯坦利·德鲁肯米勒（Stanley Druckenmiller）也将其抨击为毫无意义——他便利用自己的影响力主张投资者对美国经济基本面的看法是错误的。贝森特正致力于抑制长期债券收益率，并缓解人们对国家$40 trillion债务负担的担忧。

“他试图看看是否可以通过挥挥手就能说服市场，使其听从指挥，”哈佛大学经济学教授肯尼斯·罗格夫（Kenneth Rogoff）说道。

特朗普在2024年任命贝森特为财政部长，是因为他需要一个人既能阐述并执行他的经济议程，又能安抚那些倾向于对总统混乱风格产生反感的市场。

尽管乍一看他并非该职位的最热门人选，但贝森特通过在电视节目中强硬地为其政策辩护、提出掌控美联储的新想法以及对关税产生的新好感，赢得了特朗普的信任。

贝森特出生于南卡罗来纳州，他曾担任自由派慈善家、共和党长期宿敌乔治·索罗斯（George Soros）的首席投资官并赚得数十亿美元，从而在华尔街建立了公信力。

在20世纪90年代，身为同性恋者的贝森特积极支持同性恋权利，并经常向竞选公职的民主党人捐款。克林顿-戈尔政府采取的财政责任措施与他对赤字的担忧相一致。2000年，贝森特共同主持了一场为前副总统阿尔·戈尔（Al Gore）举办的筹款活动，旨在从同性恋捐赠者那里募集资金。

肖恩·帕特里克·马洛尼（Sean Patrick Maloney）是来自纽约的前民主党国会议员，与贝森特相识数十年。他表示，贝森特在特朗普圈子中的崛起并不令他感到惊讶。他认为，贝森特在华尔街养成的那种强硬作风，被他带到了华盛顿。

“无论是在大型律师事务所，还是在我们共同成长的地方——华尔街，亦或是现在的政坛，你会意识到有些人认为同性恋者很软弱，你必须让他们打消这种念头，”同样是同性恋者的马洛尼说道，“有时这意味着要当面顶撞他们，告诉他们滚蛋（此处为脏话）。而斯科特在这方面不输给任何人。”

在华盛顿，贝森特抛弃了书卷气的南方魅力，转而采取强硬的政治手段。

在去年的一次众议院听证会上，当被问及有关他与埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）发生肢体冲突的报道时——这位来自南非的亿万富翁当时负责管理政府效率部——贝森特回答道：“无论何时，我都会选择南卡罗来纳州而非南非。”

贝森特承认，在另一次争吵中，他曾告诉住房金融主管比尔·普尔特（Bill Pulte）他要“把他揍扁”。

在6月的一次参议院听证会上，当被问及普尔特时，贝森特说：“很多球队在更衣室里会打架，但随后他们会走到球场上为球队赢得胜利。”

贝森特在过去一年中培养出的对政治表演的偏好可能会付出代价。

上周，在警告将对继续与伊朗做生意的国家实施一连串二级制裁时，贝森特承认，如果被迫兑现此类威胁，可能会产生不希望看到的后果：这可能会削弱美元的主导地位，并给银行带来混乱。

当被问及为何给各国时间切断与伊朗的贸易往来时，贝森特说：“我为什么要摧毁全球金融体系？”

驯服债券市场可能同样具有挑战性。

由于中期选举在不到三个月后举行，特朗普和共和党人面临着降低美国生活成本的压力。

在宣布一项回购长期美国债务以稳定债券市场的计划之前，贝森特在上周之前就已经在尝试降低借贷成本。

国债市场交易员很快就开始测试贝森特，以及他为了抑制国债收益率愿意走多远，而当时的收益率已飙升至2007年以来的最高水平。

在宣布加强回购后的24小时内，长期政府债券的收益率基本上经历了一次“往返之旅”：在最初下降后，又回到了贝森特干预之前的水平。随后，财政部长试图通过媒体露面来缓解担忧，但未能阻止抛售。

最显著的质疑声音来自贝森特的密友德鲁肯米勒（Druckenmiller）。

作为索罗斯的前合伙人，德鲁肯米勒呼吁贝森特停止干预债券市场，将重点放在减少赤字上。

目前，贝森特似乎得到了特朗普的支持。

最近在接受记者采访时，特朗普表示他赞同贝森特对债券市场的干预，并准备在必要时采取更激进的行动。

“他对债券和利率有很好的把握，一种非常天然的触觉，”特朗普在评价贝森特时说道，“我们有多种干预手段——这是其中之一——而最终的干预手段是我们的军队。如果必须使用，我们会使用。”

新闻简报

针对尼日尔执政军政府的兵变在俄罗斯援助下被平息

来自新闻服务机构

尼日利亚，阿布贾 —— 尼日尔首都尼亚美在经历了一天的动荡后，周日显得平静，生活已恢复正常。此前，一群不满的士兵发动了威胁执政军政府的兵变，随后被在俄罗斯军队援助下的忠诚部队击退。

此次事件被视为对自2023年政变以来执政的军政府的重大威胁。从周五开始到周六深夜，这些士兵与忠诚部队进行了持续的枪战。大多数冲突发生在尼亚美的主要机场（该机场设有军事空军基地）以及总统府所在的区域。

动荡以数十名士兵被逮捕或被杀而告终，其中一些人被在国家电视台的直播镜头前游街。兵变者的命运尚不明确，当局也未披露针对他们的任何指控。

周日，全市各处可见军用卡车和检查站，尤其是在机场与总统区之间的大路沿线。军政府领导人阿卜杜拉曼·奇亚尼（Abdourahamane Tchiani）尚未发表任何公开评论或露面。

尼日尔人在周五进入周六的午夜时分被枪声和爆炸声惊醒，这些动荡始于迪奥里·哈马尼国际机场。该机场是一个战略枢纽，设有名为 Base 101 的关键军事空军基地，以及俄罗斯非洲军团在该国的总部。这是该机场今年第三次经历动荡。在尼亚美高原区的总统府附近也听到了枪声，一群士兵在那里与忠于军政府的部队发生了冲突。

尼日尔国防部表示，在一群士兵在空军基地劫持其“战友”并向“敏感”地点开火后，其部队正逐渐重新控制局面，但未具体说明动荡的原因。

海地的哀悼：周日，在海地太子港肯斯科夫区一次帮派袭击导致47人死亡的葬礼后，亲属们将一口棺材抬往墓地安葬。数百人参加了仪式。帮派在袭击中绑架了50多人，近期释放了六名儿童和七名女性。ODELYN JOSEPH / AP

分析人士和外交官表示，混乱一直持续到周六深夜，直到总统卫队和其他忠诚部队控制住空军基地和总统府。

一名要求匿名的欧洲外交官表示，部分兵变者来自南部和西部的冲突热点地区（这些地区受圣战分子暴力影响最严重），并正在争取驻扎在市外的其他士兵的支持。该外交官因不得公开讨论此事而要求匿名。

此次动荡似乎是由对治安恶化的不满引发的，包括猖獗的圣战分子袭击，这些袭击在过去一年中导致大量士兵被杀。

纽约智库苏凡中心（Soufan Center）的高级研究员瓦西姆·纳斯尔（Wassim Nasr）表示，此次兵变主要由部署在地面对抗圣战分子的士兵领导。

俄乌战争：乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基周日表示，俄罗斯对基辅西部一座仓库的袭击（今年该战争中最致命的一次袭击）导致死亡人数上升至38人，仍有四人失踪。

乌克兰官员称，周五晚上对该仓库的袭击引发了巨大的爆炸和火灾，波及了米拉村（Myla）数十栋附近的房屋和建筑。

这次袭击发生之际，俄罗斯近期大幅加强了在这场持续 4 $^{1 / 2}$ 年战争中的空中攻势；整个周日，基辅全市多次响起防空警报，爆炸声和防空系统的轰鸣声此起彼伏。泽连斯基在社交媒体上表示，应急工作人员仍在继续扑灭火灾，并对现场的爆炸物进行识别和处置。当地地区军事行政部门负责人蒂穆尔·特卡琴科表示，至少有 52 人受伤。

警员在枪战中丧生：哥伦比亚市警察局局长表示，周六在接到一起家庭纠纷的报案后，一名南卡罗来纳州警员在公园内的一场枪战中丧生，另一名警员受伤。

局长 W.H. “斯基普” 霍尔布鲁克在州府举行的新闻发布会上表示，嫌疑人为一名 33 岁且有长期犯罪记录的男子，同样在枪战中死亡。

霍尔布鲁克表示，遇难警员克里斯托弗·德隆现年 29 岁，在警局工作两年，留下了一名妻子和两个年幼的孩子。

在周六晚间的新闻发布会后，霍尔布鲁克和其他执法官员参加了从医院出发的送行队伍。局长表示，第二名警员大卫·戴莫克目前情况稳定。

局长称，嫌疑人为亚当·泰勒·道迪，该男子曾在至少四个州有被捕记录，面临的指控包括扰乱公共秩序、藐视法庭、公共场合醉酒、持有管制药物以及违反缓刑规定。

霍尔布鲁克在新闻发布会上没有回答提问，他表示南卡罗来纳州执法部门将对此次枪击事件展开调查。该机构的一名发言人在电子邮件中表示，调查正在进行中。

瑞士狂欢派对枪击事件：据当地警方和媒体报道，周日凌晨在瑞士北部阿尔高州的狂欢派对上发生枪击事件，导致一人死亡，五人受伤。警方表示，他们仍在寻找可能不止一名嫌疑人。

阿尔高州警方早些时候在 X 上写道，一名 22 岁的女性在现场因伤势过重死亡。四名男子和一名女性（年龄在 24 至 27 岁之间）被送往医院，伤势从轻微到严重不等。

周日早些时候在一次新闻简报会上，阿尔高州警方表示，所有警力都参与到了寻找一名或多名嫌疑人的行动中。

警方发言人伯恩哈德·格拉瑟告诉记者：“搜捕行动正在全速不间断地进行。”

他表示，警方目前还没有关于可能动机的信息。在被问及是否可能是恐怖袭击时，格拉瑟表示，“狂欢派对当时已经接近尾声，这一事实表明并非如此。发生争执也是一种可能性。”

冰岛拒绝加入欧盟：官员周日表示，冰岛选民在一次全民公投中拒绝重启加入欧盟的谈判。此次投票将对地缘政治稳定性的担忧与维持冰岛珍贵渔业的国家控制权进行了权衡。

国家选举委员会表示，反对者以 52.8% 对 47.2% 的票数击败了该提案。这一结果暂时平息了这一极具争议的问题——在此之前，一个怀疑欧盟的政府在 2008 年金融危机后启动的欧盟谈判中终止了对话，至今已过去十多年。

周六的投票是在总统唐纳德·特朗普多次威胁要控制邻近的格陵兰岛的阴影下举行的。尽管冰岛是北约成员国，但支持者表示，如果特朗普对该岛发出类似威胁，欧洲的团结将提供更大的保护。

冰岛于 2024 年选出的左翼联合政府将原定于明年的欧盟公投提前举行，原因是特朗普在谈到他对格陵兰岛的企图时，误将冰岛提及了四次。

科学教育家比尔·奈（Bill Nye）与教育家兼科学喜剧演员索菲·施兰德（Sophie Shrand）周五在芝加哥奥巴马总统中心校园的埃利·维塞尔礼堂（Elie Wiesel Auditorium）参加一场名为“在笑声中学习民主”的论坛对话。约翰·J·金 / 《芝加哥论坛报》

比尔·奈、笑声与一场民主实验

奥巴马中心举办由科学教育家和科学喜剧演员参与的“论坛对话”

作者：克里斯托弗·博雷利（Christopher Borrelli） 《芝加哥论坛报》

这是一个奇怪的故事，但让我们都以开放的心态来面对它，好吗？好。因为有时候事情的发展并不像你想象的那样。例如，有时你在派对上，或者在与一些半熟的人共进晚餐时被逼到角落，陷入与这些人的对话中。他们很聪明，说话风趣，但慢慢地你意识到，每个人都在发表截然不同的聪明见解，很难跟上任何人的谈话逻辑和意图，而且你并不是唯一有这种感觉的人——那些说话的人显然也在想同样的事情。

明白我的意思吗？

最后你走开并问道：

刚才那是怎么回事？

周五晚上，我参加了奥巴马总统中心的一次“论坛对话”，这计划成为其奢华的埃利·维塞尔礼堂中一个免费且持续的对话系列。这似乎是个值得参加的活动，毕竟秋天将至，这是芝加哥各地人们在舞台上滔滔不绝的季节。如果你参加过小组讨论，你就会知道：他们很容易被带偏——被一个毫无目的、像宣言而非问题的观众提问带偏；被一个在无关话题上心存不满的人带偏；或者被一个没什么可说的人带偏。按需提供深刻见解比听起来要难得多。

这次小组讨论的主题是“在笑声中学习民主”，这是一个很有前景的想法：“喜剧能教会我们关于民主的什么？”

在线描述这样问道。参与者的人选也经过精心挑选： “科学才子”比尔·奈；教育系列节目《与索菲一起学科学》（Science with Sophie）的主持人、自称科学喜剧演员的索菲·施兰德；最后是第二城市（Second City）校友、“基与皮尔”（Key & Peele）组合的一员基根-迈克尔·基（Keegan-Michael Key），他在该节目中饰演的巴拉克·奥巴马那激烈的“愤怒翻译官”路德（Luther）而闻名。曾为《学校之岩》（Schoolhouse Rock）创作多篇美国历史短片（以及舞台剧《轻快时代》和《苏斯世界》）的琳恩·艾伦斯（Lynn Ahrens）通过（视频）进行了介绍。此外，正如主持人兼奥巴马基金会项目执行主任蒂娜·陈（Tina Tchen）所指出的，8 月 28 日是奥巴马穿着那套臭名昭著的棕褐色西装的 12 周年纪念日。

喜剧！

问题是，基的航班因为风暴被取消了（他发送了一段视频道歉），因此平衡被打破了，焦点变成了两位有点幽默感的电视科学主持人，他们试图掌控这场讨论原本应该探讨的内容。

为什么要写这个？

因为我们都经历过这种情况，即使不是在观众面前，也曾在努力寻找立足点。

“展示自己的失败”，这并不是一件坏事，施兰德建议道。

“我在那方面花了很多时间，”奈表示赞同。

“但当我们失败时，正是我们学习知识的方式，”施兰德说。“如果一切始终顺利，我们就学不到任何东西，而且

评论《伙伴：巴迪·霍利的故事》 ★★★

德鲁里巷剧院上演的一场充满活力但极其熟悉的演出

作者：克里斯·琼斯 《芝加哥论坛报》

说实话，周三去观看一场讲述一位并非名为多莉·帕顿的美国伟大音乐之星生平与死亡的演出，感觉很奇怪。

但我真正深爱的这位标志性乡村音乐女王在世间度过了漫长且影响深远的八十年，而巴迪·霍利在1959年的一场空难中去世，年仅22岁。我对艾伦·简斯的《巴迪：巴迪·霍利的故事》评论的次数之多，多到我自己都不想记得；而每次当演出的旁白希波克茨·邓肯提到霍利的年龄时，那些刚刚随着《佩吉·苏》（Peggy Sue）、《噢，男孩》（Oh Boy）和《为什么傻瓜会坠入爱河》（Why Do Fools Fall in Love）尽情摇摆的观众们，总会发出一阵集体惊叹。

人们总是会忘记。

我不喜欢目前芝加哥郊区音乐剧院在相近的时间段内排演相同剧目的趋势。

以这部1989年的剧目为例，万豪剧院（Marriott Theatre）就在两个季度前制作过这部常演常新的作品。有人认为不同剧院的观众群体不同，且容易售票的剧目数量有限，这确实是一个合理的观点，但如果能有更具冒险精神的排演理念，对整个生态系统会更有利，而不是像这部剧一样，现在的剧龄已经比它所赞颂的那位流行歌星的寿命还要长了。我们优秀的音乐剧演员群体理应面对更大的挑战，如果剧院不培养观众尝试新素材的勇气，那么在未来的几代人中，这种接纳将会变得更加困难。

当然，《巴迪》涵盖了霍利大约20首热门歌曲，这不仅对于这部戏剧冲突较轻的回顾剧来说是一个惊人的数字，而且也体现了霍利在天才般的职业生涯终结前录制了如此之多的作品。

观演指南 时间：至10月18日 地点：德鲁里巷剧院（Drury Lane Theatre），橡树布鲁克露台，德鲁里巷100号 演出时长：2小时10分钟 门票：$85-$150 电话：630-539-0111 网址：drurylanetheatre.com

与最近万豪剧院的舞台呈现相比，导演马修·D·卡尼的这次制作在精致程度上稍逊一筹，至少在演出的肢体呈现方面如此。该剧采用了非常简单的单元布景（或许是因为夏季预算原因），且并未尝试真实地还原霍利与蟋蟀乐队录制热门歌曲的录音室，也没有真实还原阿波罗剧院——在剧中，他们在这个传奇场馆赢得了当时持怀疑态度的黑人观众。

但在面对这部极其熟悉的剧目时，这些在此时此刻并不重要。关键在于才华，而乔伊·切利乌斯虽然不像剧中的主角那样显得书呆子气，但他绝对知道如何演绎霍利的热门金曲。更棒的是，他能调动起观众的情绪，这一点在延长的谢幕环节中效果显著。

虽然这部剧最初是为超过20人的演员阵容编写的，但现在最少可以用七名演员兼音乐家来演出，本次演出正是如此，尽管在我看来这显得有些廉价。一些演员，比如萨曼莎·赛亚，扮演了如此多的角色，以至于我不知道他们是如何区分的。但在肯尼·英格拉姆编舞的帮助下，埃里克·A·刘易斯和玛塔·巴迪在阿波罗剧院片段中的表现十分有趣；巴迪一出现在舞台上，就真正地让整个氛围活跃了起来。

所以，各位，又是一部《巴迪》。如果你愿意花时间聆听那些歌曲，那么这批演员一定会确保你获得乐趣。

奈特减少演出

来自新闻服务机构

82岁的格莱迪丝·奈特（Gladys Knight）表示，她将减少演出，以“过渡”到人生的下一个阶段。

这位演唱过《深夜火车开往佐治亚》（Midnight Train to Georgia）的歌手在宣布此消息之前，粉丝们对其外貌状态表示担忧。

“经过深思熟虑，我决定将逐渐减少演出次数，同时专注于过渡到我职业生涯和生活的下一个阶段，”她在社交媒体账号上发布道。

奈特补充说，她“期待这个新时代”，这将包括与丈夫威廉·麦克道尔（William McDowell）共同投入更多时间在一些未公开的项目上，以及探望他们的孙辈。

TMZ报道称，粉丝们对此深感担忧，认为奈特在近期的演出中状态不佳。奈特在周四发布的声明中并未提及她的健康状况。

“我想提前花一点时间，感谢过去三个四分之三世纪里所有支持我的粉丝，让一个小女孩的梦想成真，并在每一步都支持着她，”她继续写道。

这位七次格莱美奖得主在孩童时期通过在亚特兰大教堂的唱诗班唱歌找到了自己的声音。她与队友 Pips 乐队共同获得了流行乐坛的成功，该乐队与奈特合作了近 40 年。该乐队于 1996 年入选摇滚名人堂。

她最近发给粉丝的消息表明，奈特并没有打算彻底退休。

“我希望在各处以及巡演途中看到你们灿烂的笑容，”她总结道，“愿上帝保佑你们所有人，希望很快能见到你们。”

斯特拉汉迎来女婴：《早安美国》（Good Morning America）共同主持人迈克尔·斯特拉汉（Michael Strahan）据报道再次成为父亲，与长期女友凯拉·奎克（Kayla Quick）喜得一女。

两人自 2015 年起开始交往，而近期的报道曾指出他们关系疏远。现在，消息人士告诉 TMZ，两人在今年早些时候成为了父母。这位前 NFL 球星有四个成年子女：与第一任妻子万达·哈钦斯（Wanda Hutchins）育有一子一女，与前妻让·穆格利（Jean Muggli）育有双胞胎女儿。

37 岁的奎克和 54 岁的斯特拉汉对他们的关系极其低调，从未透露两人是如何相识的。但近年来，奎克一直出席斯特拉汉人生中的重要时刻。

演员门罗去世：小塞缪尔·门罗（Samuel Monroe Jr.）——这位以出演 90 年代邪典经典电影（包括《社会威胁》（Menace II Society）、《兜帽故事》（Tales from the Hood）和《玩家俱乐部》（The Players Club））而闻名的演员，在与脑膜炎感染抗争一年多后去世。他享年 52 岁。

门罗的妻子肖娜·斯图尔特（Shawna Stewart）在 Facebook 的帖子中确认，门罗于周三在加利福尼亚州的一家医院去世。该演员自 4 月起一直依赖生命维持系统。

门罗于 1993 年在热门电视剧《彻夜狂欢》（Out All Night）中与帕蒂·拉贝尔（Patti LaBelle）对戏，完成了演艺处女作。同年，他登上大银幕，在《社会威胁》中饰演伊莱娜的表哥。他还出演了电影《因果报应》（What Goes Around Comes Around）、《绝地反击》（Set It Off）和《Packz》。

与亲戚交谈让主人感到精疲力竭且被忽视

R. Eric Thomas 咨询埃里克

亲爱的埃里克：最近我们接待了一位亲戚及其妻子在家里住了几天。他们是我们的多年好友，而且他们的孩子与我们的孩子年纪相仿。

在他们访问期间，那位妻子喋喋不休，极其详细地分享关于他们家人的故事。当我们试图通过分享一些我们家里的近况来给予回应时，对方总是在我们说一两句话时就插话，将话题强行拉回到她自己的家庭上。

这些人心地善良且意图良好，但他们似乎完全没有意识到自己的行为让我们感到精疲力竭且被忽视。他们对我们可能在做什么、在想什么或在经历什么完全没有任何兴趣或好奇心。

关于是否应该开口说明情况，或者应该如何说明，亦或是直接随它去并限制未来的接触，我们希望能得到您的建议。 —— 如此失望

亲爱的“失望”：试着折中处理。讨论哪里出了问题可能没什么用，因为你们谁也没法回去重新经历这次访问。但如果你并不真的想放弃这段友谊或随它去，你也不必因此限制与他们相处的时间。

下次他们想来访时，建议尝试一种不同的互动方式。你甚至可以提到，上次他们来的时候，你了解到了很多关于他们家庭和生活的很棒的近况，但你希望能够有更多双向的分享。

这个问题可能是因为亲戚过于热情、自豪，或者他们的沟通技巧与你的不匹配。那么，通过一些引导对话的方式来确保成功可能会很有用，比如玩一个了解彼此的卡牌游戏，或者进行一次更有结构的对话，约定每个人轮流发言。

在对话过程中，直接说“我的信息量过载了，我们能暂停一下吗？”也是可以的。

亲爱的埃里克：捐款礼仪触及了我的一块雷区，也许您有解决方案。我和妻子习惯在12月完成大部分捐款，我相信其他人也是如此。

我们会向十几个我称之为“邮寄慈善机构”的组织捐赠一笔可观的款项，这些机构通过邮件向我们征集捐款。问题是，在接下来的一年里，我每天都要面对满信箱的这些相同组织在要求更多资金。我敢肯定，其中一些机构花费的成本比我们12月捐给他们的钱还要多。

我该如何做到一年只捐一次，并停止这种永无止境的索款请求？即便没有其他好处，这至少能帮到邮局。 —— 不想问

亲爱的“不想问”：一个简单的解决方案可能是给这些所谓的“邮寄慈善机构”打一次电话。

要求接通他们的捐款办公室，并注明您是目前的捐赠者。接通后，解释您很乐意继续捐款，但需要将您从他们的邮寄名单中删除。

您可能想询问这项变更预计何时生效，以及他们是否将名单分享给其他慈善机构。您的名字可能已经出现在其他组织的征集名单上，因此您可能也需要给他们打电话。询问这种变更是否是永久性的，还是您每年都需要打电话。

理想情况下，这些组织使用捐赠者管理系统，其中有简单的“禁止邮寄”功能，他们可以迅速配合。这并非不寻常的要求；当捐赠者搬家或去世时，他们必须执行相同的流程。

但他们一定会很感激地知道您仍打算做出贡献。

亲爱的埃里克：我与那位被访客淹没并感到不堪重负的“准备锁门”者有类似的顾虑。

考虑到酒店费用是一个主要问题，我丈夫和我提供我们的住所和厨房，这样外地朋友可以自由地购买食材并自行准备餐食。我们会提供一份活动清单，然后安排一天时间与他们同行，并达成共识：其余时间我们将处理自己的事情。

他们可以像在自己家一样随意使用房子，但我不会为他们做饭或提供款待。我们通常会提供其中一辆车供他们使用，这样他们就可以自由前往任何想去的地方，而无需租车。

关键在于如何表达。这种方案每次都被对方欣然接受。

快乐的主人

亲爱的主人：这种做法非常周到。就你能提供什么以及不能提供什么进行沟通，肯定能省掉很多麻烦。

而且，外地人很可能很感激来自知情人士的提示和建议。

请将问题发送至 eric@askingeric.com 或邮寄至 P.O. Box 22474, Philadelphia, PA 19110。在 Instagram 上关注他，并在 rericthomas.com 订阅他的每周时事通讯。

这让 奈（Nye）想起了：“所以这个实验有很多版本——我年纪大了——你可以用油漆稀释剂罐，或者松节油罐，在里面烧一点水，从炉子上拿下来，封好，放入冰水中——罐子就会像被巨人的拳头砸过一样被压扁。因为水蒸气……”等等。但在西雅图，他有一次找到了一个油桶：“一个该死的油桶！那里有个大造船厂，你买一个翻新的油桶，他们声称里面没有易燃物，然后烧水——你知道感恩节用热油炸火鸡的那种事吗？好，把东西拿下来，趁热把塞子塞进塞孔（bung-hole，这是个专业词汇，葡萄酒商都知道）——用塞子扳手把它拧紧，然后我想如果用灭火器对着它喷，接着，哗——！但你知道怎么着？该死的，什么都没发生，而且这还是在电视直播中。太糟糕了。但我后来想明白了。下次我用儿童戏水池，装满冰水，把它密封，然后退后……”

在开馆约两个月后，奥巴马中心正逐渐形成一种节奏和氛围。在米歇尔和巴拉克·奥巴马的青铜欢迎像前排起了长队。街道对面有独立 T 恤摊贩和烧烤大师。老友们在庭院里喝着咖啡聊天。不过，活动项目仍在缓慢增加；我被告知秋季会变得丰富起来，工作人员有无数想法，但还没有准备好公布的内容。我建议先举办一场名为“通过笑声学习民主”的小组讨论会？询问一下，是否存在亲政府的喜剧？讽刺与抗议之间是否有界限？奥巴马本人曾在白宫记者协会晚宴上大放异彩，嘲讽唐纳德·特朗普关于出生证明的说法，而当时在场的特朗普显然感到很尴尬——是否存在一种名为“事与愿违”的喜剧？可以放映 1999 年的喜剧电影《选举》（Election）并进行讨论。可能性无穷无尽。

相反，提到的一些话题包括律师、疯子、激情、马克·吐温、传染病。喜剧的内容被穿插其中，有时是有意为之，有时则不然。

施兰德（Shrand）：“当你笑的时候，你的皮质醇，也就是你的压力荷尔蒙，会下降。”

“肾上腺素降低。你的愉悦荷尔蒙会上升。你的多巴胺、血清素以及催产素——这种负责信任的纽带化学物质——会上升。”

奈：“超级粉丝。”

他扮演一个脾气古怪的人，而她则扮演一个友好的陪衬。“笑声如此有用，不仅是因为科学，而且我们能在身体中感受到。我们都经历过那些时刻，在客厅里和朋友们开怀大笑，笑到流泪——那是在一个信任的空间里。这里的关键是，这种喜剧是包容性的，是我们在一起笑。如果是嘲笑某人，那就没用了。”

“所以你的意思是‘向上出击’，而不是‘向下出击’，”奈说。“比尔，告诉我们‘向上出击’是什么意思，”施兰德说。

“当你嘲笑你的老板时，那是幽默的，因为他或她是个白痴，”奈说。

“我们针对地位更高的人出击，并称之为讽刺，”她说，“我们针对地位较低的人出击，则被称为混蛋。而我个人的喜剧类型更倾向于：如果我们根本不出击会怎样？”

“喔！”奈说，并非认真的语气。

陈此时两手都占满了，最后请求他们解释道：“好吧，科学与民主之间有什么关系——以及我们如何利用笑声来教授民主？”

奈掏出他随身携带的美国宪法小册子并读道，这确立了国会；它保证了选举。他为了达到效果而停顿了一下。（“好吧，我们这里是一个501℃3非营利组织，”陈指出。）他继续说道，它还设立了邮政局。而且，“国会旨在促进科学的进步……”无论你如何评价（制宪者），这确实是非常深刻的洞察！……科学与民主进程密切相关，因为两者都涉及变革。”最终，谢天谢地，就像任何尴尬且漫无目的的对话一样。

用侦破罪案的牧师系列剧治愈你的《格兰彻斯特》忧郁

作者：阿曼达-雷·普雷斯科特 (Amanda-Rae Prescott) 《纽约时报》

从左至右，阿西夫·曼德维 (Aasif Mandvi)、卡佳·赫伯斯 (Katja Herbers) 和迈克·科尔特 (Mike Colter) 主演纽约市程序剧《恶魔》(Evil)。派拉蒙+ (PARAMOUNT+)

PBS 上的“杰作”系列推理剧《格兰彻斯特》(Grantchester) 最近在经历了 11 季带有神学色彩的惬意乡村罪案侦破后完结了。

该剧始于 2014 年，由西德尼·钱伯斯（由当时的新星詹姆斯·诺顿饰演）开启。格兰彻斯特那些洞察力敏锐的牧师们在周日讲道之余，一直协助侦探督察乔迪·基廷（罗布森·格林饰演）在 20 世纪 50 和 60 年代的英格兰追捕危险罪犯。该系列最初是直接改编自詹姆斯·朗西的一系列书籍，随后又增加了新角色和故事情节。

在钱伯斯之后，接棒的是威廉·达文波特（汤姆·布里特尼饰演），然后是阿尔菲·科特拉姆（里希·奈尔饰演），后者在剧集结束时与生母团聚，并解决了他的信仰危机。

对于因《格兰彻斯特》完结而感到失落的粉丝来说，或许可以在朗西的书系中找到慰藉，或者在“侦破罪案的牧师”这一剧集类型出人意料地繁荣这一事实中获得宽慰。

以下是几部同样设定在谋杀与牧职交汇点的剧集及其播放平台。

《卡德法尔》(Cadfael) (1994-98)：牧师推理剧通常是时代剧，但设定在 12 世纪英格兰的《卡德法尔》比大多数此类剧集更具代入感。《卡德法尔》最初在“杰作之谜！”(Masterpiece Mystery!) 中播出。德里克·雅各比饰演天主教僧侣卡德法尔修士，该剧的大部分乐趣来自于它对历史美学和事件的融合。与克莱门特教区长一样，卡德法尔修士的第一桩案件始于一次偶然的发现：在史蒂芬国王指派他埋葬 94 名被处决的叛徒时，在尸体之中，却出现了一名被谋杀的第 95 个人。故事由此展开。通过卡德法尔对谋杀、盗窃和失踪案的调查，观众可以全面了解天主教会、富有的地主与金雀花王朝皇室之间的权力斗争。(BritBox)

《恶魔》(Evil) (2019-24)：《恶魔》是侦破罪案牧师类型剧中的异类，它抛弃了典型的时代设定和安静的英格兰乡村，转而采用设定在纽约市的现代程序剧形式。迈克·科尔特饰演大卫·阿科斯塔，一名神学院学生，他为天主教会调查可能的恶魔附身和医学奇迹。他与持怀疑态度的法医心理学家克里斯汀·布沙尔（卡佳·赫伯斯饰演）以及技术分析师本·沙基尔（阿西夫·曼德维饰演）合作，共同判定信仰或科学能否解释这座城市一些最臭名昭著的罪犯的行为。在四个季度中，他们追踪线索并争论动机，同时每个人都在应对自己内心（无论是字面意义上的还是比喻意义上的）的恶魔。《恶魔》与“惬意”二字相去甚远。但它探讨了信仰、教义和人类道德在犯罪行为、执法以及现代社会中所扮演的角色。(Paramount+)

《布朗神父》(Father Brown) (2013-至今)：马克·威廉姆斯在这部 BBC 系列剧中饰演同名主角，这是第二部基于 G.K. 切斯特顿的《布朗神父》小说和短篇故事改编的剧集。第一部由肯尼思·莫尔主演，于 1974 年在英国播出，随后在 PBS 播出。布朗是虚构的肯布尔福德村的一名天主教神父，该村的死亡率高得令人怀疑，且警力严重不足。警员们允许布朗寻找证据和证人，在犯罪现场主持临终仪式，并说服嫌疑人忏悔罪行并认罪。布朗还调查失踪的圣物，他的教区秘书和管家在侦查过程中为他提供协助。该剧已播出 13 季，另一季将于 2027 年推出。(BritBox)

《晚祷前的谋杀》（2025年至今）：“《晚祷前的谋杀》”围绕克莱门特教区长（马修·刘易斯）展开，他是虚构村庄钱普顿圣玛丽的一名圣公会教区长。他从未打算去破解谜团，但在一具埋在教堂下的尸体被发现后，他深受启发开始进行调查，而这反过来又激励了他的教区居民揭露长期隐藏的秘密和其他罪行。《晚祷前的谋杀》背景设定在1988年，虽然钱普顿圣玛丽表面上是一个温馨的地方，但它也面临着当时的社会问题。（Acorn TV）

星座运势

如果 8 月 31 日是你的生日：你的心智在 9 月可能会成为你的超能力，请充分利用它！2026 年接下来的时间可能会比今年上半年更轻松，且拥有更多机遇。

白羊座（3 月 21 日-4 月 19 日）：在采纳某个想法之前请仔细审核，并至少等待一周再开始实施。从今天起至 9 月 7 日并非开启任何新计划的有利时机。请循序渐进。 金牛座（4 月 20 日-5 月 20 日）：在社交活动结束后进行反思和学习是没有问题的，但不要让低落的情绪将你拖入负面且强迫性的思维循环。只需学习即可。 双子座（5 月 21 日-6 月 20 日）：当你的根基稳固时，你就更不容易被击倒。投资于从根源上强化自己——健康、睡眠、饮食、运动、家庭、社区、土地。 巨蟹座（6 月 21 日-7 月 22 日）：这可能是职业生涯中具有挑战性的一周——你处理外界事务的领域较为复杂，且宇宙星象在周末前将持续低迷。如有必要，请谨慎行事。

狮子座（7 月 23 日-8 月 22 日）：在接下来的一周左右，你接收到的一些情报可能不够准确——在采取任何行动前请加强尽职调查，并等待一个正值之日以获得大幅提升的胜算。

处女座（8 月 23 日-9 月 22 日）：从现在到 9 月下旬，不建议进行财务变动、投资、签署协议等；本月初的情况过于不稳定且偏差较大，无法带来有利结果。请关注自身。

天秤座（9 月 23 日-10 月 22 日）：大师在沉默中成就，帝国亦然。专注于从最深层的根基向最高远的志向构建。

天蝎座（10 月 23 日-11 月 21 日）：尽力处理眼前的事情。战略性思考，保持重点，避免陷入琐碎的细节中。

射手座（11 月 22 日-12 月 21 日）：当当日分值转负时，风险会增加，这种情况将发生在明天，并持续低迷数日。

摩羯座（12 月 22 日-1 月 19 日）：现在避免卷入家庭纷争可能比尝试寻求解决方案更好——虽然艰难的对话是最重要的，但负面的星象不支持积极的结果。水瓶座（1 月 20 日-2 月 18 日）：如果你的想法确实卓越，请不要在更好的星象支持一个理想结果之前将其公开。9 月初的大部分时间较为疲软，本月下旬可能会为重大启动提供动力。

双鱼座（2 月 19 日-3 月 20 日）：你可能会有强烈的冲动进行某种财务操作，但低迷的宇宙星象不会支持你想要的结果。

问题依然存在

赛季揭幕战

熊队将阵容缩减至53人，但戈登的延迟原因为何？

布拉德·比格斯 (Brad Biggs) 报道熊队

2025年选秀班底的明星潜力，以及人们对2024年状元秀卡莱布·威廉姆斯在教练本·约翰逊麾下迎来第二个赛季的期待，使得熊队成为今年NFL中最受关注的球队之一。

这将使熊队带着希望与信心进入第一周。然而，周日的情况提醒人们，将为前任教练组和战术体系选入的球员融入到一个不断演进的项目中，可能会有多么困难。

前第二轮选秀球员格文·德克斯特（Gervon Dexter Sr.）被交易至亚特兰大猎鹰队，换回角卫克拉克·菲利普斯三世（Clark Phillips III）和一个第五轮选秀权。前第三轮选秀球员基兰·阿梅加吉（Kiran Amegadjie）在过去两个赛季中出场六次（其中一次首发）后被裁掉。

在2022年和2023年选秀班底的21名球员中，仅有7人留在熊队。其中3人被预计为首发：联盟中薪水最高的右截锋达内尔·赖特（Darnell Wright）；角卫泰瑞克·史蒂文森（Tyrique Stevenson）；以及左截锋布拉克顿·琼斯（Braxton Jones），后者可能会把这个位置一直把持到一年前的第二轮选秀球员奥齐·特拉皮洛（Ozzy Trapilo）准备就绪为止。

熊队在做出一些艰难决定后将人数缩减至53人的上限，其中包括裁掉2023年第五轮选秀的角卫特雷尔·史密斯（Terell Smith）。

明尼阿波利斯 —— 在周日面对 26,225 名观众于目标球场举行的比赛中，白袜队直到第六局才击出第一次安打，最终以 5-1 负于明尼苏达双城队。

德鲁·罗莫（Drew Romo）在第六局两出局时击出了一记右外野安打，成为球队的首位上垒者，对方投手是双城队的先发投手泽比·马修斯（Zebby Matthews）。在第九局，布雷登·蒙哥马利（Braden Montgomery）击出一记安打打入一分，使球队避免了被零封。击出两支安打的萨姆·安东纳奇（Sam Antonacci）跑回本垒得分，贡献了全场唯一的一分。

白袜队的四连胜就此终结，本系列赛最终以两胜一负收场。

保罗·萨利文 在新闻之后

我们暂时中断对小熊队历史的常规庆祝活动，提醒您国联（National League）目前正处于一场极其激烈的外卡争夺战中。

在周六的 150 周年庆典之后，以及在周日将乔恩·莱斯特、乔迪·戴维斯和电台播音员文斯·劳埃德入选球队名人堂，并与辛辛那提红人队进行决胜局之前，小熊队在国联外卡头名之争中领先费城费城人队 1 个微弱的球局。

除非小熊队能赢下最后两个系列赛（包括周一开始在瑞格利球场进行的 4 场比赛），否则想要追上排名第一的密尔沃基酿酒师队似乎不太可能。 8 个球局的领先优势

酿酒师 对 小熊 周一 下午 6:40， Marquee

在还剩 26 场比赛的情况下，对于酿酒师队主教练帕特·墨菲及其“破坏之师”来说几乎是稳操胜券，即使是最乐观的小熊队球迷也明白这一点。

也许对所有人最有利的选择是专注于抵御费城人队，并避免出现潜在的噩梦场景——在公民银行球场被凯尔·舒瓦伯的一记再见本垒打淘汰，而舒瓦伯并未被选入小熊队历史最佳阵容。

小熊队迫切需要守住外卡第一的位置，以确保在瑞格利球场进行首轮系列赛，他们曾在 4 月份在那里以 4 场横扫费城人队。

主教练克雷格·康塞尔阐述了显而易见的事实——小熊队更希望在主场比赛，但他们知道必须在客场获胜才能在 10 月的季后赛中晋级。

“坦白说，这简直太不可思议了”

塞缪尔斯的假弃球引发反击

Caravan队在ESPN转播的比赛中从30-0落后实现逆转

作者：Patrick Z. McGavin 为《芝加哥论坛报》撰写

坦率地说，面对全国电视观众所看到的局面，圣卡梅尔高中的内森·塞缪尔斯（Nathan Samuels）感到很尴尬。随后，这位高年级跑卫走上赛场，用行动改变了局面。

在由ESPN转播的这场焦点战中，东道主Caravan队此前已经在特勤组进攻中丢了两个达阵，并被对方拿到了一次安全分。而就在那时，塞缪尔斯通过一次假踢球进攻开始发力。

“场边气氛低落，全国都在看着我们，教练们一直在谈论如何在逆境中战斗，”他说。“在那次奔跑之后，你可以感觉到势头发生了变化。”

“然后我们就顺势而上了。”

在周五晚上的比赛中，塞缪尔斯在这次假踢球进攻中完成了47码的奔跑。圣卡梅尔队在芝加哥抹平了30-0的分差，最终以48-44的比分惊险击败了来自新泽西州的圣约瑟夫地区高中（St. Joseph Regional）。

高年级四分卫布雷迪·克洛赫蒂（Brady Cloherty）在Caravan队（1-1）于第二节陷入30分劣势后，竟然投出了七次达阵传球。他在41次传球尝试中完成了26次，传球码数达309码。

在第四档还剩9,码的假踢球进攻之后的一次进攻中，克洛赫蒂与低年级接球手马肖恩·桑顿（Marshaun Thornton）配合完成了一次27码的达阵传球。桑顿全场共有两次接球达阵，在接下来的29分钟里，圣卡梅尔队以48-14的比分领先于圣约瑟夫队。

“那次47码的奔跑改变了一切，并为我们带来了所需的势头，”克洛赫蒂说。“内特是一名伟大的球员，他几乎能胜任所有位置。他不仅运动能力强，而且是一名非常强韧的球员。”

“他既能接球，也能在持球奔跑时创造大机会。”

即将前往密歇根大学的高年级接球手昆廷·伯雷尔（Quentin Burrell）在比赛还剩5:03时接住了一个35码的传球，这是他的第三次达阵传球，也是决定胜局的一球。塞缪尔斯在12次携带球奔跑中增加了102码，并在两次接球中增加了45码。

然而，在Caravan队首次进攻的第四档短距离尝试被拒后，塞缪尔斯的这次奔跑成为了点燃反击的导火索。

“在第四档进攻时，我们一直采取积极进攻的策略，”圣卡梅尔队教练乔丹·林奇（Jordan Lynch）说。“内特完成了这次进攻，摆脱了防守，之后局面就豁然开朗了。”

“他是一名能改变比赛的球员，在那之后，他让一切都运转了起来。”

塞缪尔斯是林登伍德大学（Lindenwood）的招募目标，他在第四节末段还完成了一次巨大的29码奔跑。上赛季，他共贡献了10次达阵，并以719码的奔跑距离领跑Caravan队。

“我是一名非常全能的跑卫，”塞缪尔斯说。“教练们知道这一点。我认为能够利用假踢球进攻太棒了。这是我第一次能真正展示自己的能力。”

他将自己对这项运动的热爱和专注归功于外祖父的记忆，正是外祖父在他在5岁时，将一个笨拙且超重的孩子带入了橄榄球世界。那改变了一切。

“在我小时候，他强迫我上场，结果证明这太神奇了，”塞缪尔斯说。“他在2019,年我上五年级时去世了。我每天都深深地感谢他。”

塞缪尔斯的父亲在高中时期是一名四项全能运动员，而他的一个叔叔曾在东伊利诺伊大学担任跑卫。塞缪尔斯同时也是一名田径短跑运动员。他在向边线突破时具有极强的爆发力。

“在我高一那年，一切开始对我产生作用，”塞缪尔斯说。“去年我对阵布拉德赖斯高中（Brother Rice）时打了一场大仗。从那时起，一切都在向前推进。”

他的哥哥伊森（Ethan）是瓦巴什谷（Wabash Valley）的一名一年级前锋，该校是一个知名的高端初级学院篮球项目。

“我是一个非常外向的人，与哥哥的竞争是我个人成长的重要部分，”内森说。“他真的帮我走出了自己的壳。”

塞缪尔斯确认，这个夜晚最终成为了他永远不会忘记的故事。

“显然，在我这里的每一年我们都赢得了州冠军，但这绝对是我人生中最伟大的经历之一，”他说。“我知道我没有进入达阵区，但能以各种可能的方式帮助队友真是太棒了。”

摘自 C1 版

在谈到 10 月在瑞格利球场（Wrigley Field）进行的主场比赛时，他说这是一种“体验”。

较新的小熊队成员——除了伊恩·哈普（Ian Happ）或尼科·霍纳（Nico Hoerner）以外的任何人——在去年 10 月战胜圣迭戈教徒队的外卡系列赛中体会到了这一点。一些球迷认为当时的氛围与 2016 年一样激烈，但我认为这只有在世界系列赛的背景下才有可能。在没有分贝计的情况下，我们只能猜测。

但本赛季由于皮特·克劳-阿姆斯特朗（Pete Crow-Armstrong）的戏剧性表现，气氛更加热烈，而 10 月在瑞格利球场的激情预计将调至最高档（11 档）。

进入季后赛是首要任务，尽管目前领先最后一个外卡席位 5 场胜场，但这仍然不是板上钉钉的事。大多数人曾认为 2023 年的小熊队在 9 月初能保住外卡席位，结果却在赛季末崩盘。当时主教练大卫·罗斯（David Ross）可调用的关键局投手——朱利安·梅里韦瑟（Julian Merryweather）、小马克·莱特（Mark Leiter Jr.）和终结者阿德伯特·阿尔佐莱（Adbert Alzolay）——全部因伤病、手臂疲劳或在压力巨大的角色中缺乏经验而失利。

这对这三人以及罗斯来说结果都不理想，罗斯在赛季结束后被解雇，由康塞尔（Counsell）接任。

进入 9 月，康塞尔在比赛后半段的可选方案包括事实上的终结者雅各布·韦伯（Jacob Webb）、回归的终结者丹尼尔·帕伦西亚（Daniel Palencia），以及一个取决于爱德华·卡布雷拉（Edward Cabrera）健康状况和效能的“神秘人物”。

总裁杰德·霍耶（Jed Hoyer）在休赛期重组了牛棚，并由于一系列投手伤病，在前四个月进行了多次调整。小熊队设法生存了下来，如果进展顺利，他们仍然是进入世界系列赛并夺冠的真正威胁。

在春训开始时，预期的关键局投手是帕伦西亚、菲尔·马顿（Phil Maton）、卡莱布·希尔巴（Caleb Thielbar）、霍比·米尔纳（Hoby Milner）和亨特·哈维（Hunter Harvey）。但伤病和低效破坏了该计划，以及随后的 B 计划，导致在交易截止日签下了瑞安·泽费尔詹（Ryan Zeferjahn），他在 10 场出场中挣扎，自责分率（ERA）为 5.49。

因此，小熊队已经进入了 C 计划，并希望避免进入 D 计划。

虽然本·布朗（Ben Brown）回归的可能性尚未被排除，但康塞尔周六表示，根据棒球赛程的实际情况，小熊队不能指望他的颈部伤势能让他重返投手丘。从迈阿密马林鱼队引进的资深先发投手卡布雷拉，在因水泡进入伤病名单后，计划于周二在 3A 球队爱荷华队进行一次康复出赛。在进行大约三次出场后，他应该能为小熊队的牛棚提供助力。

康塞尔的“出局数至上”准则在这里适用，因为先发轮值似乎已经确定，且不包括他们休赛期最大的引援。卡布雷拉作为先发投手在 76 局中被击出 15 支本垒打，并欣然接受在季后赛争夺战中的新角色。

如果布朗无法回归且卡布雷拉在关键局角色中未能成功，康塞尔除了帕伦西亚和韦伯之外，其他可行的选择是泽费尔詹、瑞安·罗利森（Ryan Rolison）和特伦特·桑顿（Trent Thornton），后者在周五的失利中表现崩溃。

韦伯、罗利森和桑顿在这个夏天帮助维持了牛棚的运转，而康塞尔对他们的持续信任是在预料之中的。这也是球员们喜欢为他效力的原因。

但目前的压力水平对于所有小熊队的后半段救援投手来说基本上都是未知领域，除了再次成为候任终结者的帕伦西亚。帕伦西亚在去年的季后赛中有五场零封出赛，但在国联分区系列赛第二场小熊队 3-7 输给酿酒人队的比赛中，他被酿酒人队外野手杰克逊·丘里奥（Jackson Chourio）击出了一支三分本垒打。在被伤病困扰的本赛季中，他仅投了 $19 \frac{1}{2}$ 局，康塞尔正谨慎行事。

哈维尔·阿萨德（Javier Assad）回到了“爱荷华循环”中，在小熊队和 3A 球队之间往返，因为他拥有选择权。韦伯在 7 月承担了事实上的终结者角色并表现出色，创下了 24 场零封纪录，直到上周在西雅图和亚利桑那州连续被击出再见本垒打。

那么，克雷格，牛棚方面有什么担忧吗？面对球员糟糕的发挥，考塞尔回答说，“同样的人还是会上场”。

“牛棚就是这样运作的，”他在周六表示，“你经历了一场糟糕的比赛，第二天你必须重新站出来面对。有些日子你会被击败。但他们是我们的球员，我们需要他们投好，而他们只有通过上场才能投好。”

小熊队的牛棚在进入周日比赛时拥有 29 次救援成功和 22 次救援失败，而其每 9 局 7.92 次三振的三振率在联盟中排名第 24 位。他们依赖球队顶尖的防守球员，但太经常被击出长打。小熊队的救援投手已经丢了 77 支本垒打，在赛季还剩一个月的情况下，比去年多出 2 支。

小熊队的先发投手每 9 局平均也允许 1.60 支本垒打，排名第三差，仅次于在小联盟球场比赛的运动者队，以及在高海拔库尔斯球场比赛的科罗拉多落基山队。表现最差的詹姆森·泰隆已经离队，但今永正明允许的 30 支本垒打在联盟中排名第二高，仅次于费城人队的亚伦·诺拉。

在克莱·霍姆斯和马修·博伊德之后，潜在的外卡赛轮换阵容难以预料。如果对手是拥有左手强棒施瓦伯和布莱斯·哈珀的费城人队，那么左投今永正明可能比凯文·高斯曼更有优势。但高斯曼在为小熊队出战的 5 次先发中，自责分率（ERA）为 5.14，包括周六在 17-5 大胜红队的一场 5 局登场。他被交易过来并不是为了在季后赛开始时坐冷板凳，即便今永正明在全明星赛后的 ERA 为 2.65，表现更为稳定。与此同时，左投大卫·彼得森在全明星赛后的 ERA 为 2.41（包括一次救援登场），这表明他值得被考虑，尤其是在对阵费城人队时。

“说到底，当你进入季后赛，你可能只有两到三名先发投手，无论如何总会有球员被调到牛棚，”彼得森说，“我很庆幸自己有这样的经验，并且（如果发生这种情况）可以依靠它。”

从现在到季后赛之间，计划可能会发生变化。

而且，如果这个不可预测的赛季能说明什么的话，计划肯定会改变。

白袜队

接 C1 版

在 8 $^{1 / 3}$ 局中没有保送。

“他投得非常好，”白袜队经理威尔·维纳布尔说，“显然对好球区的攻击非常出色，没有保送。我认为，就我们的进攻组而言，我们的击球表现比计分板上显示的要好。”

“我认为我们在早期有很多强力击球，直接击中了对方球员。他们做出了出色的防守。我不想抹杀马修斯的功劳。他做得非常出色，显然给了他们赢得那场比赛的机会，而我们只是无法破解他投出的球。”

右外野手卢克·基肖尔在第二局通过一次飞身接球帮助了马修斯，抢走了安德鲁·贝宁滕迪的一次长打机会。

中外野手沃克·詹金斯在第五局通过一次精彩的奔跑接球，截住了贝宁滕迪击出的一记长远飞球。

马修斯在第六局也为自己贡献了一次防守，他接住了特里斯坦·彼得斯击出的地滚球，并及时将球传至一垒，完成了该局的第一个出局。

布伦顿·多伊尔击出直线球被三垒手接住出局。但随后，罗莫用一次单打为白袜队化解了危机。

“我们意识到了（完美比赛的可能性），”罗莫说，“但我们只是坚持自己的计划。我们击球很有力，产生了高质量的强力接触。我们只是运气不好，球正好击中了对方球员。所以我们只是继续做我们一直在做的事情。”

2. 白袜队在两出局后的失分造成了严重影响。

白袜队距离一个 0 分的第一局“仅差一英寸”。然而，双城队在该局拿下了 3 分，并从此掌控了局面。

在首名打者保送之后，开局投手乔丹·希克斯（Jordan Hicks）接住了一个回击球。但白袜队仅能在二垒完成强制出局。在一次三振之后，希克斯又保送了 1 名打者。随后，乔什·贝尔（Josh Bell）击出一支单打得分，该球刚好超出了二垒手安托纳奇（Antonacci）的触及范围。

随后，特雷弗·拉纳赫（Trevor Larnach）面对救援投手泰勒·吉尔伯特（Tyler Gilbert）击出了一支两分二垒安打。

“某种程度上就是差了那么一英寸，你本可以完成防守，但没能成功，”维纳布尔（Venable）说道。“而且要肯定对方，他们将球击入场内，且击球力度很大，从而能够得分。”

双城队在周日的所有 5 分均是在两出局后得分的。

在第三局两出局时，瑞安·杰弗斯（Ryan Jeffers）面对吉尔伯特击出二垒安打，随后在贝尔的单打帮助下得分，将明尼苏达队的领先优势扩大到 4-0。

基肖尔（Keaschall）在第七局两出局时击出本垒打。这是大宗投手何塞·乌尔基迪（José Urquidy）在五局投球中允许的唯一得分。这位右投手被击出 3 支安打，三振 3 人，且没有保送。对于乌尔基迪来说，这是一次不错的反弹，他在 8 月 24 日对阵德克萨斯游骑兵队的比赛中，三局内保送 4 人并丢了 5 分。

“我起初只是专注于投好好球，我也做到了，”乌尔基迪说。“这就是上次出场与今天的区别。”

3. 白袜队在周末的分区竞争中取得了进展。

排名第一的白袜队在进入周末前，在美联中区领先 2 ½ 场。他们离开明尼阿波利斯时，领先第二名克利夫兰守护者队 3 ½ 场，后者在周日以 11-1 击败了堪萨斯城皇家队。

排名第三的双城队落后 $7\frac{1}{2}$ 场。

“你来到这里是为了赢得系列赛，而我们赢了，”维纳布尔说。“显然，今天非常令人失望，进攻端就是无法运转起来。我们在投手丘和防守端经历了一个艰难的第一局。

“但我们赢得了系列赛，所以我们会继续前进。显然，接下来将迎来一场对阵（美联西区领先的）休斯顿队的重大比赛，所以这次系列赛对我们来说很不错，今天虽然艰难。我们会继续前进，为（周一）做好准备。”

在90人的训练营名单中，未能进入初步53人名单的37名球员包括一些知名人物以及参与高关注度训练营竞争的球员：■ Kaden Davis和老将Scotty Miller在训练营表现强劲——Davis可以说成为了今年的“灰姑娘”且深受球迷喜爱——但这两名接球手均未能入选。■ D. R. A. S. A. A.

• 跑卫Salvon Ahmed凭借一些精彩的冲球和接球表现也争取了机会，但这不足以抵消Roschon Johnson在掩护传球和特勤组王牌方面的价值。

IR（伤后预备名单）：RB Brittain Brown, WR Ray-Ray McCloud III, TE Nikola Kalinic, DE Jonathan Garvin, LB Tony Fields II, LB Nephi Sewell, CB Jaylon Jones, CB Dallis Flowers

在周日下午5点的截止日期前，Bears将名单缩减至53人上限，在竞争左截锋位置的四名球员中裁掉了两名。

来自欣斯代尔且在2024年第三轮被选中的Kiran Amegadjie被裁掉，Bears通过伤病结算解雇了老将Jedrick Wills Jr.。这可能确定了Braxton Jones作为首发，以及Theo Benedet作为赛季开局时的替补截锋。

Ozzy Trapilo同样在53人名单中，他将继续康复治疗1月份遭受的髌腱断裂伤。

PUP（身体无法执行名单）：DE Shemar Turner, LB Noah Sewell, CB Kyler Gordon * Large和Bryant预计将被列入IR

■ 老将防守线球员Marcus Davenport和James Lynch，以及本土老将线卫Jack Sanborn（来自莱克苏里希）和Jon Rhattigan（来自内珀维尔）被解雇。

除了Amegadjie，Bears还裁掉了近期选中的球员，包括角卫Terell Smith（2023年第五轮）和线卫Ruben Hyppolite II（2025年第四轮），后者带有伤病标记。

RB (3): D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai, Roschon Johnson

周日被裁掉的几名球员，包括Amegadjie和Smith，如果在周一通过豁免程序，可能会被添加到16人的练习阵容中。Hyppolite可能会转入伤后预备名单或获得赔付。

当Bears将安全卫Coby Bryant和近端截锋Hayden Large列入伤后预备名单时，53人名单中还将有两个空位。Lynch是这些空位的人选之一，而且Bears可能需要增加一名线卫，因为初步的53人名单中只有四名线卫，包括新秀Keyshaun Elliott。

BEARS初步53人名单

ST (3): K Cairo Santos, P Tory Taylor, LS Beau Gardner

QB (3): Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent, Case Keenum

Elliott在从身体无法执行名单中激活后，直到周三才首次出现在训练营中，并且他没有参加周六对阵田纳西泰坦队的季前赛收官战。但Bears已将其预定为特勤组贡献者，协调员Richard Hightower表示，这位第五轮选秀球员在缺席期间“在会议室的学习没有落下”。

周日有四名球员被列入伤病名单（IR）：线卫托尼·菲尔兹二世（Tony Fields II，伤情未公开）、跑卫布里坦·布朗（Brittain Brown，脑震荡协议）、角卫杰隆·琼斯（Jaylon Jones，腿后腱）以及外接手雷-雷·麦克劳德三世（Ray-Ray McCloud III，腿后腱）。

后三者是在周六的比赛中受伤的。

教练本·约翰逊（Ben Johnson）上周表示，在所有位置的竞争中，他对安全卫位置最没信心。包括布莱恩特在内，熊队在初始名单中保留了六名安全卫，其中包括未被选中的新秀斯凯勒·托马斯（Skyler Thomas）。

目前，卡姆·刘易斯（Cam Lewis）在与老将克萨维尔·伍兹（Xavier Woods）的竞争中似乎占据优势，将与首轮选秀球员迪伦·西内曼（Dillon Thieneman）共同担任首发。

史密斯在训练营后期发力后被熊队裁掉。由于在一次季前赛中左膝髌韧带撕裂，他整个上赛季都处于伤病名单中，且因一项未公开的伤病缺席了训练营两周多的时间。

史密斯在辛辛那提的联合训练中回归，但并未参加对阵孟加拉虎的季前赛。他在周六对阵泰坦队的季前赛收官战中首发，在防守端出场30次，在特勤组出场4次，并完成了两次击飞传球。

熊队在周日通过交易获得了角卫克拉克·菲利普斯三世（Clark Phillips III），而防守截锋格文·德克斯特（Gervon Dexter）则被送往亚特兰大猎鹰队，菲利普斯的到来在后防线引发了连锁反应。

然而，后场的情况依然不明朗，因为镍角凯勒·戈登（Kyler Gordon）将以进入生理恢复名单（PUP list）的状态开始本赛季。

上赛季的“灰姑娘”外接手贾戴·沃克（Jahdae Walker）击败了戴维斯和米勒的挑战，锁定了第五名外接手席位。

约翰逊上周表示，他很满意防守截锋的深度，熊队愿意将德克斯特送往亚特兰大也证明了这一点。他们保留了自由球员签约者肯塔维乌斯·斯特里特（Kentavius Street）和内维尔·加利莫尔（Neville Gallimore）、第六轮选秀球员乔丹·范登贝格（Jordan van den Berg）以及未被选中的新秀杰登·洛文（Jayden Loving）；洛文在训练营中表现出色，并在周六的比赛中以一次擒杀、两次造成损失的擒抱和一次击飞传球证明了自己。

约翰逊表示，考虑到老将边缘冲传手达文波特（Davenport）的伤病史，熊队在提高其体能训练的同时采取了谨慎策略，因此他的被裁可能是暂时的。在熊队练习阵容中度过了过去两个赛季的防守端球员贾姆里·克罗马（Jamree Kromah）在季前赛中完成了三次擒杀，引起了关注，并进入了初始的53人名单。

特拉皮洛的快速康复是团队努力的结果

作者：布拉德·比格斯 (Brad Biggs) 《芝加哥论坛报》

田纳西州纳什维尔 —— 在熊队季前赛收官战后，奥齐·特拉皮洛 (Ozzy Trapilo) 拉着行李箱走向出口，脸上带着灿烂的笑容。

周六特拉皮洛并没有参与太多活动 —— 在日产体育场闷热的赛前训练中，他主要是在端区与教练进行个人钻研训练。但对于这位去年的第二轮秀来说，现在有什么理由不微笑呢？

距离他髌腱断裂已经过去了 $7 \frac{1}{2}$ 个月，熊队最初认为这次受伤可能会让他缺席整个 2026 赛季。而现在，人们越来越有信心他能在本赛季的大部分时间里出战。

当被问及艰辛的康复之路如何时，特拉皮洛说：“有无数的人是我需要感谢的。”

这句话很有深意。他没有将话题转向在训练室里度过的漫长日子——那些由天变周、由周变月的时光。他没有谈论伤员在康复期间常会陷入的孤独境地。他想到的是，在从“身体无法参加比赛 (PUP)”名单中激活并参与过去两周部分训练的过程中，他应该把功劳归于谁。

“现在可能太多了，没法一一列举，”特拉皮洛说，“但要特别感谢训练室的亚当 (Adam LaVan) 和训练室的主管德雷 (Andre Tucker)。他们让我的工作变得非常简单。基本上就是准时出现，并在被告知的时候执行指令。感觉从那时起一切就顺利起来了。”

特拉皮洛表示，在 1 月份手术后，他们立即为他制定了路线图。当时熊队表示，最理想的情况可能是他在本赛季末期获得出赛许可。他还特别提到助理力量教练马克·菲利皮 (Mark Philippi) 是一个宝贵的资源，因为菲利皮曾经历过同样的伤病。

“手术后我回来的那一刻起，从营养方案到康复训练，再到力量房，所有的计划都启动了，”特拉皮洛说，“他们告诉我这类伤病通常的康复时间线，但你必须持保留态度。每个人都不同。我知道自己将如何攻克康复过程，而事实也正是如此。”

目前的时间表尚不精确。特拉皮洛正接受按日和按周的评估。昨天的计划到明天可能会改变。他尚未参与全队钻研训练，这是需要跨越的一个障碍。

预计熊队将于周二至周四在哈拉斯大厅 (Halas Hall) 训练，随后迎来一个三天的周末。赛季开始后，球队每周最多只能进行 1 次全套护具训练。在赛季后半段，这类训练的次数会进一步减少。

“我正按照他们的要求在进步，”特拉皮洛说，“每件事都有时间线，但他们并没有具体告诉我，这可能是一件好事。他们只是在带我逐步执行重返赛场的步骤。”

毫无疑问，这是一个团队的努力，而队内许多人也在称赞特拉皮洛本人。

“他一直在正面迎接挑战，”教练本·约翰逊 (Ben Johnson) 在特拉皮洛从 PUP 名单中移除前不久说道，“他几乎整个夏天都在这里。我觉得我每天都能见到他。”

显然这就是计划，而特拉皮洛确实做到了。

周六赛后，约翰逊被问及这位年轻左截锋的最新进展。

“完全在计划之中，”他说，“他正在进行个人训练，并在旁边做一些钻研练习。我们对他目前的状态很满意。”

托马斯首秀惊艳，率队赢得季前赛收官战

作者：菲尔·汤普森 (Phil Thompson) 《芝加哥论坛报》

田纳西州纳什维尔 —— 在周六熊队以 24-15 击败田纳西泰坦队的季前赛收官战中，新秀外接手扎维昂·托马斯 (Zavion Thomas) 在身穿 NFL 球衣后的第一次进攻机会中，接到了来自泰森·巴金特 (Tyson Bagent) 的 97 码达阵传球。

在因膝伤缺席前两场比赛后，托马斯迎来了他的首场季前赛。他在进攻端（5 次接球，获得 140 码）和特勤组都获得了大量出场时间，其中最亮眼的是一次 39 码的弃踢回攻，他险些凭借这次进攻再次得分。

“我不记得我是否传过这么长码数的达阵球，而且我认为那是扎维昂·托马斯在 NFL 的第一次进攻——所以这是 NFL 历史上最伟大的开局，”巴金特说道。

教练本·约翰逊 (Ben Johnson) 补充道：“很高兴看到像扎维昂这样的人能获得一些时间并产生一些贡献，无论是在接球方面还是作为弃踢回攻手。”

约翰逊在赛后表示，跑卫布里坦·布朗 (Brittain Brown) 已被列入脑震荡协议，角卫杰隆·琼斯 (Jaylon Jones) 和外接手雷-雷·麦克劳德三世 (Ray-Ray McCloud III) 则遭受了腿后腱受伤。

包括四分卫卡莱布·威廉姆斯 (Caleb Williams) 在内的大部分熊队首发球员在场边观战。

威廉姆斯在周四与泰坦队的联合训练中完成了训练营的最后几次练习，他投出了几次极具亮点球，但有时也感受到来自泰坦队强大防守前线的压力。在上周于辛辛那提进行的唯一一场季前赛中，他 5 次传球完成 2 次，获得 28 码。

在日产体育场开球前约三小时，威廉姆斯与卢瑟·伯登三世 (Luther Burden III)、科尔斯顿·洛夫兰 (Colston Loveland)、安德烈·斯威夫特 (D'Andre Swift) 等人进行了投球练习。这就是他们周六参与活动的全部内容。

替补四分卫巴金特掌控了整个上半场的局面，并展现出了一些通常与威廉姆斯联系在一起的华丽风格。

在泰坦队 2 码线上的四档达阵尝试中，巴金特在口袋中前移，随后后撤以避开冲传，同时将一个达阵传球高高抛向端区后方的莫里斯·亚历山大 (Maurice Alexander)。

在巴金特的掌控下，进攻组在 5 次四档进攻中成功转换了 4 次。他最终 17 次传球完成 16 次，获得 208 码并贡献两次达阵。

在他的第一次得分前，熊队在自家 3 码线处就位。巴金特在散弹枪阵型中接球，迅速看向托马斯的方向，而跑卫罗申·约翰逊 (Roschon Johnson) 则挡住了对方的闪击。

泰坦队角卫基德雷恩·卡利根 (Keydrain Calligan) 在跑位时绊了一下，当这位新秀接住巴金特的传球时，卡利根已完全被甩在身后。安全卫杰里克·里德二世 (Jerrick Reed II) 紧追不舍，但在托马斯冲向端区的途中，他只能徒劳地挥手试图触碰托马斯的腿。

“感觉太棒了，”托马斯说。“这就是为此所做的准备，是我预料之中的。”

托马斯一直打到第三节，平均每次接球获得 28 码。他的速度在回攻环节也得到了展现。他的弃踢回攻和开球回攻分别达到了 39 码和 22 码。

“我们对这个孩子感到非常兴奋，”总经理瑞安·波尔斯 (Ryan Poles) 在接受 WMVP-AM 1000 采访时谈到这位第三轮秀时说道。“他在春季表现出色。他之前受了一点伤，一直在努力恢复，因此缺席了一段时间。”

“但看到他能迅速恢复比赛状态并为我们的球队产生影响，这就是我们选他并把他带到这里的原因，而他现在正做到了这一点。”

托马斯在第一节出现了一次小失误。在泰坦队 38 码处的二档 8 码进攻中，他尝试在一次飞翼扫荡进攻中从巴金特手中接球，但交接球时出现掉球，被泰坦队防守端锋雅各布·马丁 (Jacob Martin) 抢回。

巴金特试图承担责任，但托马斯并不认同。

“是我的错，”托马斯说。“不是时机问题，也不是那些原因。我只需要接好球就行。”

历史上的今天：8月31日

1909年：A.J. Reach公司获得其软木芯棒球的专利，取代了硬橡胶芯棒球。这一变化在1910年和1911年的国家联盟中将尤为明显。

1915年：芝加哥小熊队的吉姆·拉文德在与纽约巨人队的一场双赛首场比赛中投出了一场2-0的无安打比赛。

1937年：底特律老虎队的鲁迪·约克在底特律以12-3击败华盛顿的比赛中，击出了本月的第17和18支本垒打，创下了大联盟纪录。

■ 洋基队：奥斯汀·威尔斯在第八局的九分攻势中击出两支本垒打，赫利奥特·拉莫斯在第五局击出一支三分本垒打。洋基队在周日以16-1获胜，扩大了在美联外卡赛中的领先优势，并赢得了本赛季对阵红袜队的系列赛。

1950年：布鲁克林队的吉尔·霍奇斯在道奇队19-3大胜波士顿勇士队的比赛中击出四支本垒打，追平了大联盟纪录。霍奇斯还击出了一支单打，总计获得17个垒位并打入九分。布鲁克林队投手卡尔·埃尔斯金在第二、三、五和第六局均击出单打。

1959年：洛杉矶队的桑迪·库法克斯在道奇队5-2击败旧金山的比赛中三振了18名巨人队球员，创下国家联盟纪录。

1965年：波士顿队捕手拉斯·尼克森在华盛顿的第二场比赛中击出三支得分牺牲飞球，追平了大联盟纪录。波士顿队在首场4-0获胜后，第二场以8-5获胜。

1974年：在一场西北联盟的比赛中，波特兰队经理弗兰克·彼得斯轮换球员，使每名球员在每个局都担任不同的位置。这一策略奏效，球队以8-7战胜了三城队。

1990年：格里菲一家：20岁的小肯和他的父亲肯（40岁）创造了大联盟历史，带领西雅图队5-2击败堪萨斯城队。格里菲父子成为大联盟中首对共同参赛的父子。

1998年：小熊队外野手萨米·索萨在芝加哥5-4击败辛辛那提的比赛中击出第55支本垒打，追平了马克·麦奎尔的纪录。索萨在瑞格利球场击出了30支本垒打，距离哈克·威尔逊的小熊队纪录还差3支，并与厄尼·班克斯持平。

2001年：投手丹尼·阿尔蒙特曾以其70英里 / 小时的快球在少棒世界系列赛中占据主导地位，但在政府记录专家认定其真实年龄为14岁，且显示其小两岁的出生证明为伪造后，被判定为不合格。这一结果使来自纽约布朗克斯的罗兰多·保利诺少棒全明星队的所有胜利全部作废，并抹去了其所有记录，包括阿尔蒙特的完美比赛和此前的一场无安打比赛。

■ 海盗队：埃斯默林·瓦尔德斯和贾里德·特里奥洛击出本垒打，布兰登·洛韦击出一支打入一分的单打，海盗队在周日以5-4击败红雀队。

高尔夫巡回赛冠军赛 (GOLF TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP)

舍夫勒奋起夺得联邦快递杯

作者：道格·弗格森 (Doug Ferguson)

美联社

亚特兰大 —— 斯科蒂·舍夫勒（Scottie Scheffler）第二次夺得联邦快递杯（FedEx Cup）冠军，这也是他在这次令人惊叹的五年征程中，在PGA巡回赛上取得的第22场胜利。这次胜利与以往所有胜利都不同，尽管看起来如此熟悉：舍夫勒用一杯啤酒庆祝了这次胜利。

他在周日的巡回赛冠军赛（Tour Championship）中以4杆下的66杆收官 —— 在领先的六名球员中，没有其他人打破标准杆 —— 舍夫勒必须等待最后两组球员完赛才能正式确定结果。

“里面有一个开放式酒吧，我想，‘好吧，我去拿杯啤酒。’ 味道太棒了，”舍夫勒说。“我其实不经常喝酒。我的妻子和经纪人说，‘哇，好久没见你喝啤酒了。’ 既然赛季结束了，我就得喝杯啤酒。这是应得的啤酒。”

这一点毋庸置疑，而且关于谁拥有高尔夫球界最佳赛季的争论也已平息。

舍夫勒在东湖（East Lake）解决了这个问题，他在四个洞中追回了三杆的差距，并最终拉开距离赢得了巡回赛冠军赛，夺得第二个联邦快递杯冠军，并超过了泰格·伍兹（Tiger Woods），成为PGA巡回赛历史上累计奖金最高的人。舍夫勒在211码的第二洞用5号铁将球击至距离杯口2英寸以内，标志着他的反击开始。他在第四洞通过一个25英尺的小鸟球追上维克多·霍夫兰（Viktor Hovland），在第13洞首次反超，最终以三杆之差获胜。

这是他首次在巡回赛冠军赛中获得72洞最低杆数。

当他在2024年获胜时，由于“起始杆数”赛制给予1号种子的优势，他在比赛开始前就拥有两杆的领先。尽管另外两名球员的实际杆数更低，但他最终以四杆之差获胜。这件事至今仍让他耿耿于怀。

“当你处于比赛的最后冲刺阶段，且处于平分或落后一杆时，这与你在最后结算时加上起始杆数之类的情况完全不同，”舍夫勒说。“我认为，用一场真正的比赛来结束这一年，并且我在东湖既是冠军又是最低杆数，感觉更像是一种成就。”

舍夫勒今年第三次获胜 —— 在PGA巡回赛季后赛的最后三周内赢了两场 —— 与克里斯·戈特鲁普（Chris Gotterup）、马特·菲茨帕特里克（Matt Fitzpatrick）以及美国公开赛冠军温得姆·克拉克（Wyndham Clark）并列，成为2026年夺冠次数最多的球员。

球员们会对PGA巡回赛年度最佳球员的杰克·尼克劳斯奖（Jack Nicklaus Award）进行投票。舍夫勒已经连续四年获奖 —— 如果再获一次，他将与伍兹并列，成为连续获奖次数最多的球员。接管职业生涯奖金榜首位是必然的。巡回赛冠军赛的$40 million奖金现在被计入正式奖金。舍夫勒赢得了1000万美元，使其职业生涯总奖金达到1.30亿美元.

伍兹在1997年至2009年的巅峰时期，从未参加过奖金超过$10 million的比赛，他曾在职业生涯奖金榜首位占据了近26年之久。

对于舍夫勒来说，这是一次小小的救赎，他在旅行者冠军赛（Travelers Championship）的附加赛中输给了霍夫兰，那是他今年五次获得亚军的比赛之一。

唐纳德结束退休加盟公羊队

新闻服务

亚伦·唐纳德（Aaron Donald）已回归公羊队，在退休 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ 年后决定复出，与迈尔斯·加雷特（Myles Garrett）共同组成防守线。

在经过数周的讨论、准备以及这位明星防守截锋的高强度训练后，公羊队于周日宣布了 35 岁的唐纳德所做的决定。

唐纳德同意签署一份 1 年的合同，据 ESPN 报道，他在这份包含激励条款的协议中将获得至少 \2000万美元。

在完全效力于圣路易斯和洛杉矶公羊队的头 10 个赛季中，唐纳德成为了其时代最伟大的防守球员之一。在 2024 年 3 月较为突然地退休之前，他曾三次获得美联社（AP）评选的 NFL 年度最佳防守球员奖，并入选 10 次职业碗（Pro Bowl）、8 次全美最佳阵容（All-Pro），并获得一枚超级碗冠军戒指。

在与家人享受了两年的退休生活后，唐纳德在今年夏天开始考虑复出的念头，此前公羊队通过交易得到了加雷特——加雷特是当代防守线球员中少数能与唐纳德相媲美的人。唐纳德和加雷特在美联社过去九年的年度最佳防守球员奖中合计赢得了 5 次，其中加雷特在克利夫兰布朗队期间赢得了过去 3 年中的 2 次。

■ 绿湾包装工队跑卫乔什·雅各布斯（Josh Jacobs）已被列入 NFL 的委员豁免名单，因为他面临两项待决的轻罪指控，此举使其无法参加训练或出席比赛。……布朗克斯线卫乔纳森·库珀（Jonathon Cooper）面临一项重罪勒颈指控，他将以委员豁免名单成员的身份开始本赛季。库珀因 6 月份与当时交往的一名女性发生两次冲突而被两次逮捕，他将于周一就多项家庭暴力指控接受提审。……印第安纳波利斯小马队外接手基南·艾伦（Keenan Allen）周日因醉驾被捕。……奥德尔·贝克汉姆（Odell Beckham Jr.）入选了周日提交的纽约巨人队 53 人名单。……在 NFL 各球队精简阵容的周日，泰坦队四分卫威尔·莱维斯（Will Levis）是 1,100 多名被裁球员之一。

棒球：尤里恩斯利·德·温特（Juriënsly De Windt）和沙迪琼·德·拉诺伊（Shardijon De Lanoi）合力打入 6 分，库拉索在周日的决赛中以 11-2 击败内华达州，夺得其第二个少棒世界系列赛冠军。

高尔夫：殷若宁周日在 TPC 波士顿举行的 FM 冠军赛中获胜，取得职业生涯第六个 LPGA 巡回赛冠军，击败了金孝周（Hyo Joo Kim）。殷若宁在 5 杆 12 号洞的一记 25 英尺 birdies 推杆进洞，与参赛伙伴金孝周共同领跑。

WNBA：安吉尔·里斯（Angel Reese）本赛季拿到第 29 次两双，打破了 WNBA 纪录；艾莉莎·格雷（Allisha Gray）投进 6 个三分球，最终贡献 23 分和 11 个篮板；梦之队在周日以 89-81 击败了联赛领先的山林队。

帕洛以 IndyCar 赛季冠军追平纪录

亚历克斯·帕洛（Alex Palou）在周日晚上恢复进行的密尔沃基英里赛（此前因雨延迟）中获得第 10 名，从而赢得了他连续第四个 IndyCar 赛季冠军，追平了纪录。这位来自西班牙巴塞罗那的 29 岁车手，为自己和奇普·加纳西赛车队（Chip Ganassi Racing）又增加了一个统治级年份。帕洛连续四个赛季夺冠的纪录与塞巴斯蒂安·布尔代斯（Sebastien Bourdais）在 2004-07 年创下的纪录持平。他成为仅有的第三位赢得 5 次冠军的车手，A.J. 弗伊特（A.J. Foyt）赢得了七次，斯科特·迪克森（Scott Dixon）赢得了六次。这也是加纳西车手赢得的第 18 个冠军，创下纪录，比 Penske 车队多一个。帕洛在周日的常规赛中获得第五名。在本赛季的 17 场比赛中，他获得了 6 次冠军、12 次前五名和 14 次前十名。IndyCar 在周六于 1.015 英里椭圆赛道完成了预定 250 圈中的 90 圈，随后比赛因雨和赛道潮湿而推迟。IndyCar 的赛季收官战将于下周末在加利福尼亚州举行。帕洛此前在 2025 赛季赢得了 8 场比赛，包括他首个且唯一的印第 500 冠军。最令人印象深刻的是他的稳定性。在过去的两个赛季中，他在 33 场比赛里从未出现连续两次完赛名次在 10 名之外的情况。

波加查在车祸后分享医院照片

五届环法冠军塔德伊·波加查（Tadej Pogačar）周日发布了一张在医院的照片，照片中他戴着颈托，手部和面部缠着绷带。此前一天，他在西班牙环赛中遭遇车祸退赛。这条 Instagram 帖子配上了 Bee Gees 的歌曲《Stayin’ Alive》。波加查在一次惊险的车祸中被甩出车把，预计将接受手术，此次事故迫使他退出了西班牙环赛。由于路面上滚过一块石头，他似乎失去了控制，导致脑震荡并骨折两处。这位来自阿联酋航空车队的斯洛文尼亚选手此前拥有巨大的领先优势，被广泛看好将赢得冠军，从而完成自行车运动三大满贯赛的帽子戏法。这是波加查参加的第 10 个大满贯赛，也是他第一次弃赛。他此前从未获得过第三名以外的成绩。接替波加查领先地位的 Movistar 车手恩里克·马斯（Enric Mas）赢得了第九赛段的山地赛。在前往 Alto de Aitana 的上坡终点冲刺中，马斯在两人对决中险胜奥斯卡·昂利（Oscar Onley）。普里莫日·罗格利奇（Primoz Roglic）以落后 12 秒的成绩获得第三名。马斯将领先优势扩大到领先罗格利奇 1 分 18 秒，领先费利克斯·加尔（Felix Gall）1 分 39 秒。

费德勒在入选仪式上落泪

周六，罗杰·费德勒在国际网球名人堂的入选演讲中多次落泪。当夕阳渐渐笼罩在名人堂入口处的纽波特草地马蹄形球场时， 45 岁的费德勒身着棕褐色西装，缓缓走上演讲台，亲吻并拥抱了刚刚介绍他的妻子米尔卡（Mirka），随后他意识到这将是一个巨大的挑战。“天呐，”这位历史上首位赢得 20 个大满贯单打冠军的人开口说道，“这水平太高了，接下来的演讲很难超越。”在赞扬妻子对他这位第 272 位名人堂成员的介绍时，他开玩笑说：“我不知道你是不是偷偷练习过。”费德勒与播报员兼前球员玛丽·卡里洛（Mary Carillo）一同入选，后者由名人堂成员比利·简·金（Billie Jean King）介绍。在入选仪式开始前约 90 分钟于中心球场开始的首场红毯秀中，费德勒被地称为“瑞士大师”，他告诉观众，坦白说他“有点紧张”。在近 30 分钟的演讲中，曾创下在 ATP 排名中连续 237 周世界第一纪录的费德勒多次哽咽。——美联社

季前赛收官战的转播，那是一场 24-15 客场击败田纳西泰坦队的胜利。“名额有限，而我们有很多球员在为我们创造机会——不仅是首发，我们的球队深度也非常深，而且有些球员在特勤组表现出色，这让选择变得非常困难。

“这只意味着我们在引进球员方面做得很好，同时我们的教练在培养球员方面也做得非常出色。所以，我们一直很喜欢面对这种挑战。”

上赛季，熊队的前台、球探和约翰逊的教练组在培养球员（无论是选秀球员还是老将）方面具有真正的协同效应。他们需要再次依赖这个公式，尤其是在防守端，戈登以及自由球员安全卫科比·布莱恩特（Coby Bryant，左膝）的受伤创造了机会。

德克斯特（Dexter）被认为不太适合协调员丹尼斯·艾伦（Dennis Allen）的战术体系。他的杠杆作用经常不足，且不是艾伦所青睐的那种具有爆发力、能渗透的内线球员。

熊队签下了自由球员肯塔维乌斯·斯特里特（Kentavius Street）和内维尔·加利莫尔（Neville Gallimore），以及新秀乔丹·范登贝格（Jordan van den Berg）和杰登·洛文（Jayden Loving）。球队希望他们能与老将格雷迪·贾雷特（Grady Jarrett）在防守截锋位置上形成良好的轮换，约翰逊上周表示，这个位置在球队外部被低估了。如果伤病爆发，熊队可能会想念德克斯特（Dexter），他在进入第四个赛季之际正寻求一份新合同，且在芝加哥的三年里仅缺席了两场比赛。

波尔斯（Poles）在2022年和23年选秀中剩下的另外两名选秀球员是第三跑卫罗申·约翰逊（Roschon Johnson）和替补安全卫埃利亚·希克斯（Elijah Hicks），后者在胫骨受伤后，于上周从 PUP（伤病预备）名单中激活。

最大的疑问围绕在戈登（Gordon）身上。在训练营开始时，我们从波尔斯那里得知，他恢复足球活动的进程处于“延迟”状态。

这是波尔斯在本周讨论初步名单时需要考虑的问题，因为戈登的缺席状态成了哈拉斯大厅（Halas Hall）里一个谜团中的谜团。

由于戈登仍处于 PUP 名单中，他必须至少缺席常规赛的前四场比赛。21, 天的回归训练窗口最早可于9月21日（第 3 周的第一天）开始。

但目前无法预料戈登何时能回归，甚至不知他是否还能回归。每当这个话题被提及，约翰逊总是将其撇开。你大致可以将他每次的回答翻译为：“下一个问题。”

球队内部许多人都与目前的局面有关，包括戈登在内。很难想象，特拉皮洛（Trapilo）在经历了1月份的髌腱断裂及手术后，在回归过程中两周以来仅能有限度地参加训练；而戈登却因为一个可以追溯到2025年8月第一周的小腿问题而依然被搁置。

在这样一场残酷的比赛中，常有球员咬牙坚持的故事。六次入选职业碗的中锋奥林·克鲁茨（Olin Kreutz）在2010赛季 NFC 冠军赛的第三节遭受了 Lisfranc 韧带撕裂，当时绿湾包装工队的防守截锋瑞安·皮克特（Ryan Pickett）将左截锋 J'Marcus Webb 撞到了克鲁茨的腿上。

克鲁茨走到场边，告知进攻线教练迈克·泰斯（Mike Tice）他认为自己的脚骨折了。主教练洛维·史密斯（Lovie Smith）走过来告诉克鲁茨，球队没有另一个中锋可用。不知怎么地，他完成了比赛。克鲁茨随后在次赛季准备就绪，但在总经理杰里·安杰洛（Jerry Angelo）没有提供合同后，他与新奥尔良圣徒队签约。

戈登依然缺阵，且疑问远多于答案，部分原因是媒体无法接触他。■ 戈登现在能否通过体检？■ 在休赛期计划之前，他的日常训练包含什么？■ 为什么熊队还没有找到让他重返赛场的路径？■ 他与运动训练团队的关系是否破裂？■ 在球队于2025年4月让他成为 NFL 中薪水最高的镍角卫后，他是否仍有强烈的比赛欲望？■ 约翰逊周四说“我们几乎整个名单的人都在拼命努力重返赛场。他们不喜欢缺席”，当时他是否在含蓄地指代戈登？

除非约翰逊说错了话——而他并不倾向于用错词或传递混乱的信息——否则这意味着，在当时 90 人的名单中，只有极少部分人没有在拼命努力重返赛场。

自去年夏天以来的时间线是一团乱麻。戈登最初在8月第一周受伤，伤病报告显示其腿筋、小腿和腹股沟受伤。在再次受伤前，他本已处于回归赛季揭幕战的轨道上。他于10月13日在对阵华盛顿的比赛中回归，随后在次周对阵新奥尔良圣徒队的比赛中再次受伤。戈登参加了11月 28 日在费城的比赛，随后在绿湾的下一场比赛热身阶段再次受伤。

他及时回到了季后赛，人们很容易看出他在艾伦的防守体系中能产生多么大的影响力。随后，他在休赛期的训练计划中几乎没做什么，而现在，距离在卡罗来纳的揭幕战仅剩 13 天，他依然处于延迟状态。

“显然他很沮丧，”波尔斯在 7 月训练营开营时表示。“我们也很沮丧。我们只想让他回来。他能帮到我们的球队。我们必须利用现有的人员向前推进，而当他准备好出战时，他自然会准备好。这里的每个人都在投入全部的时间和精力，以确保他能正确地回归。”

熊队已经没有时间让戈登融入其中，以便他能与教练组建立一定的信任基础。

“绝对是不幸的情况，”镍币角卫教练坎农·马修斯在训练营早些时候表示。

那么，除了康复训练，戈登一直在做些什么？

“我们让他参与不同的项目以保持参与感，确保心理状态维持在水平线上，”马修斯说。“对于一个渴望上场的竞争者来说，这对他来说很艰难。但就我所见的一切，我毫不怀疑他正在尽一切努力争取上场。”

马修斯表示，戈登为季前赛做了一些演示报告。也许这在某种程度上让他与球队保持了联系，但这听起来非常像常规赛中堆在质量控制助理身上的工作，而不是一个签了三年 4000万美元 续约合同的角卫该做的事。

在重新调整本赛季的防守时，熊队倾向于采取一种策略，即加强二线防守，从而辅助冲传，而冲传方面并没有获得太多的人员升级。角卫杰伦·约翰逊度过了一个令人鼓舞的夏天，但布莱恩特在左膝手术后将缺阵至至少 12 月中旬。

由于戈登缺阵，艾伦面临着暂时让第四轮新秀选秀球员马利克·穆罕默德二世在槽位（slot）出战的前景。要么是穆罕默德，要么是老将卡姆·刘易斯，后者在之前的六个赛季中在布法罗首发了 14 场比赛。

穆罕默德是未来替代戈登的退出策略。目前没有一种干净的方式可以摆脱这份合同。想要交易一名基本工资 1000万美元、整个夏天都缺阵且去年缺席了 14 场常规赛的球员，祝你好运吧。释放戈登将使熊队在 2026 年背负 $22.500 万 的死工资空间（dead cap space）。

这是一个棘手的局面，但没有理由让所有相关人员不去寻求让戈登回归的路径。波尔斯需要阐明这将如何实现，以及到目前为止是什么障碍阻碍了这一进程。熊队正试图帮助戈登。这是一个开始。他自己也必须努力。

前熊队角卫凯尔·富勒的未来在一次微创膝盖手术导致他损失整个赛季后，曾一度看起来极其暗淡。但他随后反弹，成为熊队的顶尖球员，入选了一次全美最佳阵容（All-Pro）和两次职业碗（Pro Bowl）。这是戈登能遇到的最佳情况。

最糟糕的情况是他本赛季无法上场。熊队现在将受益于一个能让才华横溢且多才多艺的戈登尽早而非晚些上场的解决方案。然后，所有相关方可以在休赛期决定下一步行动。

目前，延迟的原因是什么？

网球 美国网球公开赛

佩古拉克服紧张赢得首轮赛

作者：布赖恩·马奥尼 / 美联社

纽约 —— 杰西卡·佩古拉是首批参加美国网球公开赛的球员之一，她去年意识到，在周日开始比赛能带来一些不错的缓解。

“这有点奇怪，但我确实挺享受在接下来的几天里可以喘口气，而其他所有人还在为能否赢得首轮比赛而焦虑，”她说。

抢占先机是件好事 —— 除非这种先机意味着能更早地返回机场。

“我们刚才还在讨论这件事，我说，赢球后在周日比赛感觉非常好。但如果输了就不好，因为你会觉得比赛还没正式开始你就已经出局了，”11号种子玛尔塔·科斯秋克说道。

周日在纽约举行的美国网球公开赛首轮比赛中，杰西卡·佩古拉在击败埃琳娜-加布里埃拉·鲁塞后做出手势。KIRSTY WIGGLESWORTH / AP

佩古拉和科斯秋克都轻松获胜，现在她们在进入第二轮之前可以享受额外一天的休息。

诺瓦克·德约科维奇在周日晚上对阵马里亚诺·纳沃内时丢掉了第一盘，他正开启追求创纪录的第25个大满贯冠军的征程。比赛在第一盘期间暂停，以便在外部球场因雨暂停比赛的情况下，关闭亚瑟·阿什球场的顶棚。39岁的德约科维奇最近一次在首轮出局是在本月早些时候的新辛辛那提站。

3号种子佩古拉以 6-3, 6-2 击败了埃琳娜-加布里埃拉·鲁塞。她说自己开局时很紧张，考虑到这位 2024 年美国网球公开赛亚军可能面临的利害关系，这在情理之中。

佩古拉本赛季以 46 场胜利领跑女子巡回赛。她获得了两个冠军，并三次进入其他决赛。如果佩古拉能赢得她的首个大满贯冠军，且 2 号种子埃琳娜·里巴金娜在半决赛前出局，佩古拉将能成为排名第一的球员。

佩古拉接下来的对手将是维纳斯·威廉姆斯与同样持有外卡资格的索菲亚·肯宁之间比赛的获胜者。她们原定在阿什球场的压轴赛中对决，而维纳斯与姐姐塞雷娜计划共同参加双打比赛。

“在出场之前我感到非常紧张，但我知道我的教练们说：‘你看起来并不那么紧张。我们觉得你打得很好，’”佩古拉说。

11号种子科斯秋克确实打得很好，她以 6-4, 6-1 击败了斯通·亨特，在法网和温网均进入半决赛后，为今年的最后一个大满贯赛事取得了强势开局。

周日开赛，但冠军球员直到周一才登场

这是第二年实行周日开赛，不过一些最重量级的球星直到周一才开始比赛。两届卫冕冠军阿里娜·萨巴伦卡将对阵卡米拉·奥索里奥进行首场比赛；随后，去年赢得第二座美国网球公开赛冠军的卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯将在从右手腕伤势中恢复后，进行他自 4 月以来的首场单打比赛。

前美国网球公开赛冠军大坂直美、伊加·斯瓦泰克、斯隆·斯蒂芬斯和斯坦·瓦夫林卡也出现在周一的赛程中，此外还包括温网女单冠军琳达·诺斯科娃以及本·谢尔顿、亚瑟·菲尔斯、费利克斯-奥热--阿里亚西姆和弗朗西斯-蒂亚福等男单竞争者。

2021 年美国网球公开赛冠军达尼尔·梅德韦杰夫以 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 击败了雨果·加斯顿，摆脱了此前糟糕的赛前准备状态。这位 7 号种子在北美硬地赛季的战绩仅为 1-3，而这通常是他表现出色的时期。

“过去几周并不容易，”梅德韦杰夫说。“但我很高兴今天我能够打出高水平的网球。”

周日其他获胜者包括 19 号种子贾斯明·保利尼和 31 号种子、2021 年美国网球公开赛亚军莱拉·费尔南德斯。两届大满贯单打冠军、27号种子巴博拉·克雷吉科娃以 7-6 (4), 6-2 负于卡米拉·拉希莫娃。

美国选手、20号种子汤米·保罗在第一盘抢七失利于高文（Coleman Wong）后迅速反弹，最终以 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 获胜。一年前，高文成为首位在公开赛时代大满贯男单比赛中获胜并晋级 32 强香港男子球员。

2014年美国网球公开赛冠军马林·奇利奇，以及2022年亚军卡斯珀·鲁德均在开赛首日因伤退赛。

雨天造成混乱，

即便是在有顶棚的球场

周日其他获胜者包括第9号种子埃琳娜·斯维托丽娜、第19号种子贾斯敏·保利尼以及2021年美国网球公开赛亚军、第31号种子莱拉·费尔南德斯。两届大满贯单打冠军、第27号种子巴博拉·克雷吉科娃以 7-6 (4), 6-2 负于卡米拉·拉希莫娃。

美国选手、第20号种子汤米·保罗在首盘抢七失利后迅速反弹，以 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 击败了王嘉明（Coleman Wong）。一年前，王嘉明在晋级32强赛的过程中，成为了首位在公开赛时代赢得大满贯男单比赛的香港男子选手。

由于降雨，有7场比赛未能完成——即便是在另一座拥有可伸缩顶棚的球场进行比赛，其中一场也被迫延迟。路易斯·阿姆斯特朗球场的其中一个传感器出现了机械故障，即便顶棚最终关闭，在第15号种子亚历山大·布勃利克和J.J.沃尔夫开赛前，仍必须对球场进行干燥处理。2014年美国网球公开赛冠军马林·西里奇和2022年亚军卡斯珀·鲁德均因伤退赛。

ELECTION 2027 CHICAGO MAYOR

Candidates talk tough on crime

Contenders highlight issue despite steep drop in homicides since 2022

By Jake Sheridan and Alice Yin CHICAGO TRIBUNE

As Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza strode toward the camera in an empty lot, she gave credit for Chicago's plunging violence, but not to the man she's hoping to succeed.

Homicides have dropped because “Chicago has the best trauma surgeons,” while shootings are in fact up, she said in a video posted to social media this month — a claim at odds with police data that shows shootings are marginally down this year.

“Trauma surgeons saving more lives is great, but we shouldn't be taking a victory lap,” she said against a backdrop of wailing police squad car sirens and flashing lights. “As mayor, I'm not going to hide behind statistics. I'm going to have honest conversations about the level of violent crime across our city."

It was an effort to spin a fact that could play a key role in Chicago's February mayoral election: Homicides and shootings have sharply dropped during Mayor Brandon Johnson's first term, along with declines in several other categories, according to police data. But presented with those numbers, Mendoza said when her video was filmed earlier this summer, year-to-date shootings in 2026 were slightly up compared with last year.

“That was a moment in time when we taped that video,” she said. “At the end of the day ... I don’t think any amount of shootings is acceptable.”

The city experienced a historic peak of 719 homicides in 2022, a year before Johnson took office, and ended last year with 416, according to Chicago police statistics. In the same time, shootings plunged 48%, robberies 35% and car thefts 20% — and those levels have generally improved or held this year. It's part of a broader trend that has seen violent crime plummet in cities across the U.S. in recent years, but one Johnson has regularly attributed to his own choices.

Despite the clear-cut improvements during Johnson's time in office, nearly every declared mayoral candidate said in interviews with the Tribune that he has done too little to address violence.

Backlit with the beams from a flashlight, a figure came into view inside the leathery sac. Called a mermaid's purse because of its shape and size, the zebra shark egg's translucence revealed an embryo.

“See it wiggling around in there?” said Anna Byczynski, an aquarist and supervisor of the Shedd Aquarium’s tropical marine habitats.

Scientists use this technique, called candling — which historically entailed holding up a burning candle — to assess the contents of shark eggs for health, viability and genetic diversity.

After passing with flying colors, four of them — laid by the Shedd's 30-year-old "super mom" Cleo in the Wild Reef exhibit — embarked on a 9,000-mile journey, tucked in bags of seawater inside Styrofoam coolers, from their first home next to Lake Michigan to the Indonesian archipelago of Raja Ampat.

Official: US hits Iran rocket launchers

Attack along strait said to be military's 1st strike in month

By Konstantin Toropin, Cara Anna and Ben Finley ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — U.S. forces struck Iranian rocket launchers on the Strait of Hormuz in their first military action in a month on Sunday, breaking a lull in fighting during an intermittent war that has lasted more than six months.

Iran swiftly vowed to retaliate for what it called a deadly attack, with reports that it fired missiles at U.S. forces in Jordan.

Troops with the Revolutionary Guard Corps were observed preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into the strait, according to Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for the U.S. Central Command. The U.S. military last week completed clearing sea mines from the strait's international shipping routes.

Semiofficial news outlets in Iran reported sounds of explosions near Larak island on the strait. The

Guard in a statement carried by Iran's state broadcaster noted "the martyrdom and injury of several of our fighters and compatriots." Guard spokesperson Gen. Hossein Mohebi said Sunday's attack was a "fatal mistake by the Trump regime during the economic war" and the enemy will pay the consequences militarily and economically.

Later, Iranian state television showed what it said were ballistic missiles being fired by Iran at U.S. bases in Jordan in response to the American strikes. Jordan's armed forces said they intercepted eight missiles that penetrated its airspace early Monday.

A return to open conflict would be dangerous for the region, where Iran has targeted U.S. military bases in Gulf countries since the war began on Feb. 28.

The last time the U.S. military confirmed targeting Iran was on July 29, when it announced a “heavy wave of strikes” on dozens of Revolutionary Guard targets. On Aug. 1, President Donald Trump

1 dead, 14 hurt in mass shooting

Washington Park incident is largest in Chicago this year

By Finnegan Belleau and Caroline Kubzansky CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A mass shooting in Washington Park Saturday night became the city's largest of the year when Chicago police reported that a total of 15 people had been shot, leaving one man dead.

Just before midnight on the 5400 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue, police sources said a pair of unknown shooters dressed in all black and ski masks shot at the gathering from across the street, and that someone from the crowd returned fire. Officers later recovered 10.40-caliber casings on the east side of Cottage Grove and another 26 shell casings, including rifle casings, in the park itself, sources said.

The 35-year-old man who was shot was pronounced dead at the University of Chicago Medical Center, according to police. The Cook County medical examiner's office later identified him as Rontonio M. Guterz, of the River North neighborhood.

CPD said fourteen more victims were injured: A 47-year-old woman who was listed in serious condition, four people in fair condition, and six in good condition. The status of three more victims was unknown, according to police. Area 1 detectives are investigating.

Ald. Jeanette Taylor, who represents Washington Park, said she drove past the incident twice Saturday. The first time was on her way to an event, and Taylor said lots of people and cars were gathered for festivities. Driving back home, she said South Cottage Grove Avenue was “very chaotic,” with police present and cars on grass.

"People were enjoying themselves; there was music; there was eating and laughing," Taylor said.

SHOOTING

“None of that was going on the second time I drove past.”

She said she woke up Sunday morning to a text message briefing her on the incident. It didn't contain information on what the gathering was for or what type of gun was used, although Taylor said the model didn't matter. What was important, she said, was that someone brought a firearm into a park with a playground and homes nearby.

"I'm disappointed, and I just don't know what to do," Taylor said.

On Sunday morning, picnic debris littered a large area of the park within view of UChicago Medicine. Four shoes were scattered in the grass along with food trays, smashed cups and a Lime scooter. A woman and her daughter searched for a lost pair of glasses without

success.

Saturday's shooting follows several others at large gatherings this summer. Minutes before the incident, a shooting at a gathering in Douglas left one man dead and two others injured at a gathering. A gunman killed two people in June after firing a rifle and handgun into a gathering in New City, following a string of similar attacks in the area since the beginning of May. Fourteen people were injured in a drive-by shooting at a Juneteenth gathering in Roseland. In July, a Humboldt Park shooting left six hospitalized with gunshot wounds.

“We remain steadfast in our work to break these cycles of trauma by continuing to stop the flow of guns into our communities and investing in the resources that help prevent violence before it occurs,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said in a post on social media Sunday morning. “My administration will continue to show up for those impacted by these violent acts by providing access to victim services and mental health support."

The Wentworth (2nd) District, which covers the Kenwood, Armour Square, Oakland, Douglas, Hyde Park, Englewood, Woodlawn, Washington Park, Fuller Park and Grand Boulevard neighborhoods, has seen a 43% spike in homicides this year compared to the same period in 2025, police data shows. The statistics, updated Aug. 23, show that shootings overall in the district have increased by nearly half, but are still markedly lower than they were in 2022 following years of post-pandemic declines.

CPD's Area 1, which covers the Wentworth District as well as much of the mid-South and Southwest Sides, has seen an overall spike in shootings and homicides this year, police data shows. Across the rest of the city, shootings have continued to dip.

SHEDD

versity on Earth. It is part of the natural range of zebra sharks, named for the black and white stripes on the tails of the species' offspring.

Officially, however, the species is the Indo-Pacific leopard shark — a name better suited for the adults' spots, which the stripes eventually fade into — or Stegostoma tigrinum (not to be confused with the leopard shark of the eastern Pacific, or Triakis semifasciata).

Since 2004, over 80 zebra shark eggs have hatched at the Shedd, placing baby sharks at more than a dozen zoos and aquariums across the United States.

Now, the eggs are going international as part of the multi-institutional ReShark initiative to reintroduce populations into the wild and its Stegostoma tigrinum Augmentation and Recovery, or StAR, project, which took off in 2020 – the world's first such effort for sharks.

Zebra sharks tend to rest on reef floors, regulating bottom-dwelling prey such as snails, clams, crabs, shrimp and small fish, an important part of maintaining thriving ecosystems.

But the species is considered globally endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, with populations declining and at risk from targeted fishing for the fin trade and from incidental capture, or bycatch, in fisheries.

“They have essentially been fished to functional extinction,” said Steven Kessel, director of marine research at Shedd. “That means they’re no longer playing a functional role in the ecosystem; their numbers are so reduced that they’re not really having an impact on the food web.”

The species' coastal habitats, such as mangroves and reefs, have also suffered loss and degradation due to urban development and climate change. According to the international union, between 1970 and 2020, $44\%$ of mangrove areas across Myanmar, Malaysia and Cambodia were lost. And rising ocean temperatures have caused large-scale coral bleaching and die-offs since 1997.

Thousands of hours of surveys in the last two decades indicated the presence of only three adult zebra sharks in Raja Ampat's protected waters, which span millions of acres, according to ReShark. Scientists estimated fewer than 20 individuals in the archipelago.

Since 2023, however, the project has released 75 zebra sharks into Raja Ampat.

The four eggs from the Shedd are expected to hatch at the Raja Ampat Research and Conservation Centre, on West Papua's island of Kri, where a team fondly known as "shark nannies" will care for the juveniles.

After hatching, the pups will transition to a sea pen to get used to the natural marine environment and develop foraging skills. They will be tagged and released after they reach an appropriate size if they are in good health.

"This is one of the most rewarding parts of my job," Byczynski said. "Working with these animals day in and day out is very cool — to be able to take care of the adults and then watch them lay the eggs, bring the eggs up, handle them week after week, and then be able to give them back and aid in this new population."

Thinking about the pups she cared for as eggs being released into the wild and swimming the waters of Raja Ampat gave her chills, Byczynski said. She rubbed her arms as she looked over to Cleo, who was swimming laps in a tub behind the scenes at the aquarium.

Kessel said the project is a proof of concept for yet another tool in shark conservation, especially as there are still skeptics in the field.

“(Reintroduction) is very common and well proven in terrestrial environments," he said. "And also in freshwater, there's a lot of restocking. Even in the Great Lakes, they do a lot of stocking, et cetera. But it's less common in marine environments. This is the first time it's been done with sharks."

Being egg layers makes zebra sharks “perfect” for this approach, he said, but expanding similar efforts to shark species that are more critically endangered will present other challenges, since other species give birth to live young.

The success of the project is creating buzz around the region, he said, among other countries keen to participate in zebra shark reintroduction. And conservationists can use the opportunity to persuade governments and fisheries agencies to improve protections for sharks already in the wild — effecting change, he said, “by being a carrot rather than a stick.”

"The fact that this has been a success is really groundbreaking for the field of shark research and conservation," Kessel said. "We need to look at all different avenues for conservation management because sharks are so imperiled. There's really a crisis, and we need to be doing everything we can."

Plan for lakefront development at synagogue site divides community

By Adriana Pérez CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Edgewater residents protested a proposed lake-front high-rise development Sunday at the site of a synagogue, a plan that has divided community members over the use of public lands and the environment, property values and tax breaks, traffic congestion and alleged antisemitism.

Near the intersection of North Sheridan Road and Thorndale Avenue where the development of around 600 units is planned, people opposed to the project gathered at the entrance to George Lane Beach. Beachgoers walked by as the protesters – led by Edgewater Residents for Responsible Development and the Association of Sheridan Road Condo and Cooperative Owners – said the city should acquire private property up for redevelopment along the lake to complete the lakefront park system.

They say a high-rise would reduce public access to Lake Michigan, violating the 1973 Lakefront Protection Ordinance meant to protect the lakefront and complete the publicly owned and locally controlled park system along the Chicago lakefront.

"It's going to be massive. It's going to be overshadowing all of this," said Pat Sharkey, president of the Edgewater Residents Association, gesturing to Lane Beach and Park. "But it's more than that. It's a tremendous lost opportunity, and it does mean the lakefront protection ordinance doesn't work anymore; it's broken, if this is allowed to happen."

On the other side of the road, at Interfaith Park, some members of the Emanuel Congregation — the aging synagogue on the site of the proposed development at 5959 N. Sheridan Rd. — gathered alongside organizers from the Jewish Council of Urban Affairs and other current and former Edgewater residents.

Supporters say it's important that the $20\%$ of units will be reserved for affordable housing, and also argue that the development would preserve accessibility to the beach and beautify the area.

"The project that we're going to build on this location is going to be an incredible force of energy and increase the value of prop-"

erty in this neighborhood," said the congregation's Senior Rabbi, Rachel Sabath Beit-Halachmi. "We own this property, and we have the right to build something that's going to be an incredible place for gathering and a place for worship on a site that has been ours since the 1950s."

The latest project proposal includes a wide, multistory passageway that would cross underneath the site, providing pedestrians along Sheridan with views of and access to Lake Michigan.

A new stakeholder has recently emerged: Advocacy group Friends of the Parks is now urging Ald. Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth, 48th, to give part of the lakefront property to the Chicago Park District to deal with lake erosion and create more public space.

“Your letter commits (developer) Fern Hill to record a written, binding Public Access Easement across the east-west pedestrian mews and along the lakefront setback, to permanently preserve lakefront access,” wrote Brian Gladstein, the organization’s executive director. “Two things that commitment does not specify. How deep the protected shoreline will be. And whether the public will own that shoreline or merely be permitted to cross it. Those two questions determine whether this becomes parkland or a walkway.”

The lakefront parcels at 5959 and 5965 N. Sheridan Rd. comprise almost 2 acres total. The organization is asking that a 100-foot deep strip, measured from the high-water mark along the coast, be dedicated to the park district to ensure 0.6 acres of permanent public shoreline while still leaving about 2/3 of the site available for development. It also asks that the strip be connected to Lane Beach and the street grid through Thorndale.

Friends of the Parks is also requesting the city conduct a full environmental and shoreline investigation into coastal vulnerability to erosion, possible effects on fish, birds and other wildlife, and stormwater management and discharges into the lake.

"These requests concern shoreline treatment and the instrument used to secure public access," Gladstein wrote. "They are not directed at the residential program, and nothing in them targets the affordable housing component of this development. They do not require Emanuel Congregation to relocate."

The original plan, presented at a public meeting in February, called for a 15-story, horseshoe-shaped apartment complex, including a new lakefront synagogue. After receiving additional feedback from neighbors, synagogue members, city planning officials and Manaa-Hoppenworth, Fern Hill announced a new plan in May.

The latest proposal, from July, consists of one five-story building west of Sheridan

Road. On the other side, two apartment buildings, 12 and 25 stories, would be placed next to the 39-story Malibu Condominiums, the synagogue's neighbor at 6007 N. Sheridan Rd.

Previously, Emanuel Congregation's Co-President Andrew Degenholtz told the Tribune the new development was necessary. The synagogue has about 250 member families, not enough to afford upkeep for the existing 34,000-square-foot structure, completed in 1955 when Emanuel had 1,000 families.

Emanuel Congregation will own the new synagogue building, and will not have any ownership interest in the development's residential and commercial spaces.

A point of opposition from residents concerns \$40 million in property tax breaks over 30 years for the developer even as they claim property taxes for neighbors and businesses have doubled in the last decade.

New restaurants and retail shops in the development, besides more residents, would also increase congestion on an already major north-south thoroughfare, according to those opposed to the project. Manaa-Hoppenworth has said a traffic study and travel demand management plan conducted by the Chicago Department of Transportation would be published before the plan reaches the Chicago Plan Commission.

"This is the ideal location to build more housing. We have transit here. We just got done having \$2.1 billion spent on the Red Line here," said Maiko Lehman, a longtime resident, referring to the Chicago Transit Authority's Red and Purple Modernization project. "We have a million and a half buses. The lake is right there. Bottom line is, people are moving to this neighborhood because it's desirable, because of the lake, and because of the Red Line, the excellent transit, and we need to have housing to absorb those people."

Others are not convinced the area and its current transit options can sustain the growth.

“Has it helped with congestion?” Sharkey said about the Red and Purple Line project, shrugging. “The problem with the CTA is a lack of reliability, lack of safety and lack of cleanliness, and people do not want to use it because of that.”

The controversy has also veered into religious and cultural issues, as accusations of antisemitism have been flung at those opposed to Emanuel's proposed project. Those protesting have strongly denied such claims.

To some, the issue reaches far beyond religious differences.

“We all have our ways of worshiping and our traditions, but this is more about the general picture. Love your neighbor as yourself,” said Fred Kinsey, a retired Lutheran pastor who on Sunday showed up to support the congregation and its proposed development. “We want to make sure that people live in peace, and they have a right to be here as much as anybody. So we have to support one another and make sure that that happens.”

Federal investigators dig into deadly Elgin train crash

Railway expert: 'Perfect storm of problems' led to 2025 incident

By Marni Pyke DAILY HERALD

Issues involving crew fatigue and performance, along with warning signal flaws, are surfacing as federal authorities continue to probe a fatal freight train crash in Elgin last fall.

The driver of a landscaping truck was killed and his two passengers seriously injured when it collided with a Union Pacific Railroad locomotive at 6:29 a.m. Oct. 23, 2025, at the State Street crossing.

A preliminary National Transportation Safety Board report states that warning devices activated when the train was near the edge of the crossing and that the truck entered immediately before the crash.

A subsequent Federal Railway Administration Safety Bulletin offered additional details indicating the driver did not have time to react before it was too late.

The gates and flashing lights “were not activated when the truck proceeded onto the crossing where it was hit by a six-axle light locomotive," officials found.

The FRA also said the locomotive's engineer and conductor may not have used proper procedures for short trains. The locomotive was not hauling any railcars when the crash occurred.

“Preliminary information indicates the train crew did not follow required operating rules for traversing highway-rail grade crossings when operating equipment without the minimum number of axles needed to reliably activate grade crossing warning systems," the FRA found.

The NTSB is still investigating the crash, which took the life of 56-year-old Round Lake Beach resident Martin Martínez Jiménez, and has not yet issued a final report.

But crew members told NTSB they were both fatigued prior to the collision, which occurred near the end of their shift, recently posted documents show.

“I was fighting it. You know, I ... I'll admit it,” the engineer told investigators. “I was fighting sleep.”

The crew's shift had started at 8 p.m. Oct. 22, 2025, more than 10 hours before the fatal collision.

Asked about the findings, UP said in a statement that "this was a tragic accident, and we extend our deepest sympa- thies to those impacted.

“We continue to work with the NTSB on the investigation to make sure we learn from it, ensuring this doesn't happen again. The employees involved met federal work-rest requirements.”

Railway expert and DePaul University professor Joseph Schwieterman noted that “when a motorist sees gates that aren’t lowered, they naturally assume it is safe to proceed.”

“Unfortunately, the truck driver lost his life due to a perfect storm of problems.”

Grade crossing warning devices fail for different reasons, the FRA said, including “loss of shunt,” meaning the locomotive or railcar wheels don’t trip the electrical system that activates the gates and lights.

Contributing factors to that could be a low number of axles, like with a solo locomotive, contaminants on the rails, or rust and other conditions that cause poor wheel-to-rail connections, according to the bulletin.

The FRA asked railroads to remind employees about the “critical importance of following operating rules and maintenance plans relating to loss of shunt,” and safeguards such as lowering speeds near crossings.

As part of the probe, investigators took samples of an unidentified coating on the rails near the crash and submitted it for analysis.

Authorities also reviewed a year's worth of event recorder data for the crossing and identified “multiple instances of short warning times (and) short or aborted warning activations.”

The train crew described long shifts and stressful working conditions to NTSB officials, who also focused on the fact the locomotive wasn't hauling any train cars on its trip from West Chicago to Belvidere.

"When you all found out that you all were going back light power, did you all have any job briefings about ... anything you needed to change?" an investigator asked the conductor.

“No, sir,” replied the conductor, who recalled being “exhausted,” and couldn’t exactly recall if the gates and lights were activated at State Street.

The engineer recounted “it was starting to wear down on me. (We) came around up to State Street and we go around a corner going north.”

“So I thought that the gates were down and this guy came out of nowhere, and there it was.”

None gave his crime-fighting efforts full-throated praise, and all said Chicagoans still too often feel unsafe.

Instead, as they laid out their vision for curbing Chicago violence, several of them sought to bolster a "tough-on-crime" image by calling for a spike in police headcount and harsher penalties for lawbreakers. Others argued the city cannot afford massive new spending on police, its greatest expense, and must make the department more efficient.

For his part, Johnson — who has not yet announced a reelection bid — credits progressive policies aimed at the root causes of crime, including major spending on youth summer jobs and community violence intervention. Even as he warned “one act of violence is one too many,” he argued it is also important “to recognize that what we’re doing is proven to be effective.”

"I think what's at stake here is we can revert back to failed policies, or we can double down on the efforts that I've made," he told the Tribune, listing mass incarceration and school closures as examples of the former strategy. "Do Black lives really matter? And if they do, put some skin in the game."

FROM 1,000 MORE OFFICERS TO BRINGING IN TECH, OLD AND NEW

For several candidates, a public safety platform breaking from Johnson's efforts starts with a number: 1,000.

Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, Mendoza, business owner Willie Wilson and lobbyist John Kelly have promised to boost Chicago police ranks by at least that much.

That could prove difficult given the city's fiscal challenges. The Police Department is the most expensive city department by far, and Chicago already has one of the highest officer-to-resident ratios in the country.

The salary for a probationary officer — who usually graduates from the police academy after half a year — starts at \$63,000 but jumps to \$111,000, plus benefits after four and a half years of service, per the department's 2026 pay schedule. Out of the total 8,500 positions budgeted for general duty police officers this year, about 700 are vacant.

The candidates who support adding more officers note, however, that the city regularly blows past its annual budget for police overtime: \$285.8 million versus the \$100 million allocated for last year, despite Johnson saying it was a priority to cut overtime spending.

In an interview with the Tribune, Giannoulias said his goal is to grow the Chicago Police Department's sworn headcount by 1,000 to 1,500 regardless of attrition. Asked whether that was fiscally responsible, he said, "I can make a strong argument that if we aggressively hire more police officers," cut down the time it takes to enroll in the police academy and civilianize about 600 sworn positions, "we can bring down the cost of overtime, and ultimately at worst make this a revenue neutral; at best, maybe even cut some costs."

"The narrative around Chicago is public safety continues to be an issue, and to me, it touches everything," Giannoulias said. "It's one thing to be a candidate and say I want to hire more police officers. You have to recognize the problems with hiring and get to the root."

Giannoulias also said he would fill positions within constitutional policing roles. He pledged to create a high-level deputy position in his administration focused on addressing domestic and gender-based violence and debut a “rapid video response” for domestic violence victims to call a specially trained officer within minutes rather than wait for an in-person response.

Those four candidates who called for 1,000 more officers — along with two who have not, U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley and former Ald. George Cardenas — have also promised to bring back Chicago's ShotSpotter acoustic gunshot detection system, which Johnson shut down amid grassroots pushback that contended the technology was ineffective and harmed Black and Latino communities.

Mendoza and Kelly, who've made much of their campaigns about crime, said the state must amend the SAFE-T Act to limit the use of pretrial release of defendants to home confinement, a sign of how they would use the mayor's bully pulpit. In another key break from Johnson, Kelly said the work of community violence interrupter groups was "very important," but he would prioritize spending on officers because "nothing replaces a Chicago police officer."

“We need to find the money in the budget to pay for it because it’s a priority,” Kelly said. “It’s just a fact that Chicagoans feel safer when they have police officers around.”

Wilson, making his fourth run for mayor, said he would install four police superintendents, each representing different parts of the city and groups of Chicagoans, though he didn't specify which groups would get distinct superintendents under his plan. After saying officers should be able to "hunt (suspects) down like a rabbit" in 2023, he doubled down on his calls to relax rules restricting police action.

“You’ve got to take the handcuffs off police,” Wilson told the Tribune. “Do I feel that crime has went down? No, the senior citizens is scared to come out their place.”

U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley opened his interview with a number of his own: 14.6, Chicago's homicides per 100,000 residents in 2025, far higher than New York's 3.4 figure.

“We’re four times higher per capita,” he said. “So let’s deal with the reality and remember that Democrats get in trouble telling people how they feel.”

But the nine-term congressman nonetheless dismissed his rivals' hiring pledges as political showmanship. The call doesn't account for the city's dire financial straits and the years it takes to recruit and train enough police classes, he said, instead advocating for more officers working during high-violence times.

"It sounds like soundbite to me because it's going to be very time-consuming, very expensive and it's not going to happen right away," he said. "I think the immediate response is using the ones we have more efficiently now."

Chicago Housing Authority board member Matthew Brewer, meanwhile, concurred it's not a question of whether the city is overpoliced or underpoliced but rather "properly policed." He said "a small number of blocks is responsible for a disproportionate amount of violent crime" and vowed to flood those streets with resources including law enforcement, job opportunities and new policing technology.

“The days of having 15,000 officers are gone,” Brewer said. “We’re closer to 12,000 right now, and we do have technology that can enhance, supplement what our officers are doing.”

Entrepreneur Joe Holberg said he would also focus on civilianizing clerical jobs in the Police Department and push for more officers walking beats rather than just responding to emergencies, to build trust and repair relationships.

Holberg has focused in particular on transit safety, calling for more train cleaning, new smoke sensors, a better complaint system, stricter fare enforcement and more services to get unhoused Chicagoans off trains and into shelters.

Dr. Lisa Nee, a cardiologist-turned-medical whistleblower, said the department's issues go deeper than headcount. Even though she hopes to grow police ranks, targeting a number is insufficient, she said.

“You’re now putting hundreds of people into an existing system that clearly isn’t working to its best,” she said.

Arguing she is a “data-driven individual,” she said she also opposes the use of pretextual traffic stops and called for department improvements to bolster recruitment, officer wellness and more opportunities to advance within CPD.

Former Ald. George Cardenas said he would build a new public safety command center within his first 100 days in office, arguing the office would be substantially different from the city's Office of Public Safety Administration.

Cardenas, now a Cook County Board of Review commissioner, acknowledged homicides have declined but added “the perception of crime, that has not gone down, and that becomes the reality.”

He also argued the mayor's so-called “root causes” approaches to preventing crime are “just not connected to anything” in terms of material results, such as Johnson's much-touted focus on youth summer jobs that Cardenas sees as busy work rather than actual enrichment.

“We are spending money, we are investing in our young and we should be rewarding them with skills that are going to then change their lives,” he said. “We’re wasting an opportunity to make that happen.”

CREDIT DUE?

As he laid out his broad efforts to fight crime, Johnson took aim at the policing-first focus shared by many competitors.

He has put careful effort into improving the Police Department, picking a widely praised, morale-boosting superintendent in Larry Snelling — who stepped down last month — and focusing on hiring and promoting detectives to support clearance rates, he noted.

On the last campaign promise, to add 200 more detectives, the actual headcount has not grown much thanks to department attrition. Chicago police employed 1,102 total detectives as of May 2023, and 1,163 as of last week.

That “full-force” approach has included Johnson’s ramped-up spending on infrastructure on the South and West sides and city lawsuits against gun manufacturers to pressure them into removing guns easily altered by criminals to become more dangerous, he said. It also included youth hiring programs and community violence intervention in neighborhoods where homicides have halved, he added.

The decline is real, but the cause is unclear, said Roseanna Ander, executive director of the University of

Chicago Crime Lab. It's hard to credit Chicago-specific levers because other cities that saw crime spike during the COVID-19 pandemic are likewise seeing decreases now, she said.

“That wouldn’t explain why Baltimore is seeing historic lows, why Philadelphia, lots of other cities are as well,” she said.

And while Chicago's falling crime rates are encouraging, they are also slowing as steep declines continue elsewhere, she said. Gun-related homicides have slightly increased year over year even as the overall homicide number falls, a change Anders attributed to the spread of high-capacity magazines and Glock "switches" that allow handguns to fire more rapidly, she said.

For his part, Johnson maintained no issue matters more to him than safety. Unlike the other candidates who he argues are myopically pursuing tried-and-failed efforts to pour money into policing, he is raising a family in one of the city's most high-crime neighborhoods, he said.

"The tendency to get it wrong tends to take place from individuals who don't have, they don't have the same stakes," he said. "There are too many politicians who I believe are just out of touch. I don't know if they value Black lives."

The latter remark drew criticism from mayoral challengers. Brewer, Cardenas and Mendoza cited their own upbringing, while Kelly and Wilson jabbed at the mayor for framing crime as an issue of race.

Giannoulias scoffed. "Under this administration, morale at the Police Department is at an all-time low," he said. "That's not my opinion. Those are police officers and people up high at CPD, literally calling me, meeting with us, telling us that morale's at an all-time low. So I would say ask them."

Last week, Mendoza gathered a handful of community leaders and gun violence victims inside a Bronzeville ice cream shop to hear their stories — and make a commitment.

She vowed as mayor she would dramatically cut down the size of the office's security detail because she would rather have more officers on the street than “some entourage.” Currently, about 100 officers are assigned to CPD's government security detail that's mostly used to protect the mayor; Mendoza said she only needs one.

Then, she lamented that Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke and Snelling "could have been a dream team."

“But we were missing, in the third-legged stool, the third leg of the stool,” she said, “which is a mayor who believes in our Police Department.”

IRAN

from Page A1

said he would order the military to hold off on new strikes at the urging of Gulf allies Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Sunday's fighting comes just days after the Trump administration said it would turn its focus to increasing economic pressure – rather than military action – to try to end its war. The shifting strategy centers on threats to punish any country or entity that continues to conduct business with Tehran.

The Trump administration plans to impose sanctions on another bank this week in an effort to clamp down on Iran transactions, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday. No bank was named. Last week, the U.S. targeted an Egyptian bank, but the sanction hasn't taken effect.

The U.S. turn to using sanctions came as the administration weighs diminished munitions stockpiles after months of war, sparking concerns that the prolonged conflict could undermine U.S. military readiness in other parts of the globe.

As the conflict grinds on, Trump's talk of finding a quick end to the war also appears to be fading. He stressed last week that he's "not in a hurry" to get Iran back to the negotiating table, and he believes its leadership is on the ropes.

But appointments to Iran's senior security leadership in the past month have signaled Tehran's defiance after weathering decades of sanctions as well as a lack of tolerance for dissent at home.

Trump has consistently emphasized that the U.S. and Israel campaign has been devastating for Iran's navy and air force. Iranian officials have said the country has suffered \$270 billion in direct and indirect damage. Israeli military strikes in the first weeks of the war wiped out much of the theocratic government's leadership.

But Iran has found leverage through its strikes against vessels on the Strait of Hormuz, where relatively few ships risking passage. Iran still has enough drones and missiles to fire at vessels using the waterway through which 20% of the world's oil normally flows.

Trump has repeatedly said the “Strait of Hormuz is open,” saying 24 vessels passed through last week. But that’s a fraction of the roughly 130 vessels that transited daily before the war began.

Earlier Sunday, a multinational coalition overseen by the U.S. Navy said commercial traffic through the strait remained at “reduced levels.”

And a monitoring agency run by the British military said an unknown projectile struck a tanker ship on Saturday north of Khasab, Oman, in the strait. There was no claim of responsibility.

The U.S. military said that as of Sunday, it had redirected 83 commercial vessels and disabled three under its blockade of Iranian ports.

Also Sunday, Iran's supreme leader sent a letter to clerics calling on Muslim countries to stand together against Israel and the U.S. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, urged rulers of Muslim nations to "know your real enemy, understand its plans and confront it," and called the U.S. and Israel enemies of all Islamic nations, the official IRNA news agency reported.

Six months after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, killing Khamenei's father and other senior leaders, Khamenei still has not been seen publicly. His comments came in a letter to religious leaders at a conference in Tehran.

And Israel's Shin Bet security agency says it urgently evacuated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's oldest son from the United States due to a threat against him.

In a statement obtained Sunday, Shin Bet confirmed there had been a “significant threat” to Yair Netanyahu. It did not elaborate. But the prime minister told an Israeli TV station last week that Iran had tried to kill one of his sons. His office declined to comment Sunday.

Yair Netanyahu moved to Miami in 2023 and remained out of Israel for most of the time while Israel was at war in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.

He has often served as an unofficial adviser to his father while sometimes sparking controversy over his attacks on critics on social media.

Higher interest rates send a warning to everyday Americans — cut your debt

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent walks outside the White House in Washington on Aug. 20. JACQUELYN MARTIN/AP

When government bond prices go down, it usually means one of two things: either the economy is strong, and demand for capital is pushing up interest rates, or inflation and excess borrowing is putting the future at risk.

For a couple of years now, bond prices have mostly gone down, sending interest rates higher. Take it as a warning.

The 10-year Treasury note has soared from roughly $3.7\%$ around this time in 2024 to $4.7\%$ today. The 30-year Treasury bond stands close to a 20-year high, at $5.2\%$ , up from just $4\%$ two years ago. Interest rates on corporate bonds also have shot higher, and a recent effort by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to tamp down long-term rates has fallen flat.

Since his second term began, President Donald Trump has pushed for the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut rates, aiming to benefit politically from a temporary economic boost. Yet that move would worsen inflation, which is running well beyond the Fed's $2\%$ target, making any rate cut unlikely, despite ongoing pressure from the White House.

Government borrowing similarly has been in the news as the national debt hit a troubling \$40 trillion and counting. At the same time, businesses are borrowing a fortune to expand data center networks and integrate artificial intelligence. Demand for AI is raising the cost of loans needed to build it out.

It's not as if the U.S. is alone in experiencing punishing inflation and higher interest rates. Across the developed world, central bankers are fretting over the same issues.

What does it all mean for everyday people? In short, now is the time to cut your debt. It's getting too expensive to carry the debt loads that became common when rates were low in the years after the 2008 financial crisis.

A standard 30-year mortgage today bears an interest rate of roughly $6.65\%$ . Two years ago? A little lower, but not by that much. Interest charges on bank credit card balances, government-backed education loans and borrowing for cars and trucks also haven't moved in lockstep with Treasuries so far. Still, they're high enough that, along with higher home prices, it's keeping would-be buyers out of the market.

Overall, costs are adding up for many households as debt levels rise. Factor in stubbornly high inflation, sluggish wage growth and a hit-or-miss job market, and many Americans below the very top of the income scale are feeling a lot poorer these days.

Bad economic vibes have political implications for the midterms and beyond. Consumer confidence is under pressure, as people understandably feel worse about their prospects. Household budgets need to adjust for challenging times ahead.

We know it's much easier to say, "Cut your debt," than to pull it off. Many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Who can afford to pay down debt when basics like food, gas and rent keep going up?

Nevertheless, acting now will lead to a better future. Rule No. 1: Less debt is always better when your finances are already shaky. But some other ideas can help, too. Refinancing, for instance, can enable households to replace high-priced debt with a more affordable loan. Promotions offering 0% rates on transferred credit-card balances require juggling but can save money and provide flexibility. To pay down debt, consider starting a side hustle like freelance work or a part-time job for supplemental income.

Help is available for managing household finances. Many employers offer financial counseling via employee assistance programs. Nonprofits like United Way (who aren't trying to take advantage of anyone) also provide free programs. And it should go without saying that every household should have a budget, and every budget worth the name should aim to rein in debt and build a rainy-day fund for life's uncertainties.

The same goes for government. No way should local, state and federal lawmakers be left off the hook while households struggle to live within their means.

As The Wall Street Journal recently pointed out, Chicago squandered the money from COVID-19 relief and continues overspending under Mayor Brandon Johnson. The idea that Springfield will bail out Chicago and some future Democratic president will bail out Springfield has become a common scare tactic for Republicans on the campaign trail.

But anyone looking at the balance sheets will recognize there's no money for that.

Chicago can't afford its bills. Springfield faces enormous pension obligations and little fiscal room to assume Chicago's problems on top of its own. And the federal government is so overstretched that its \$40 trillion debt is on track to hit a mind-boggling \$50 trillion in just three years.

Government debt at those levels will force unwanted decisions across the board: Higher taxes. Cuts to benefits and services. Limited flexibility to respond when a crisis strikes.

Pritzker to CTU and IFT: ‘One-time money should be used for one-time needs.’ Correct

Leadership of the Chicago Teachers Union likes to shake the couch cushions in other people's houses looking for change to pay their bills.

Most recently, Stacy Davis Gates — who also leads the Illinois Federation of Teachers, the progressive alternative to the Illinois Education Association — has set her sights on a brand-new pot of money. She's looking to the \$768 million Illinois is set to receive in the coming years as part of a settlement with Meta, which was sued by nearly every U.S. state over allegations that the social media giant intentionally designed their platforms to addict children, creating myriad mental health harms.

Illinois' chunk of that multi-state settlement is certainly a tidy sum that could help chip away at Chicago Public Schools' budget woes. The district entered this

budget cycle facing a roughly \$732 million gap, and its approved budget now assumes — on the theory that wanting something enough might make it so — Springfield will provide an additional \$150 million.

Could this new cash be the answer?

Gov. JB Pritzker says no.

"One-time money should really be used for one-time needs," he told reporters Thursday in Springfield. "And while I understand that some people may view the shortfall in the budget in Chicago as a one-time need, it's not."

The governor is 100% right, of course, and he even added that if CPS identifies “a real required short-term need” he’d be open to floating some Meta money for it.

Of course, Pritzker well knows that CPS has a habit of running budget deficits year after year. Use the Meta payout to cover this one, and CTU will be back again next year asking for more.

We don't envy the folks in charge of balancing CPS' books, including CEO Macquiline King and the Chicago Board of Education. We would, however, encourage them to operate within the confines of their fiscal reality.

King's initial budget announcement drew significant pushback from CTU and others because it included hundreds of layoffs. A group of 11 CTU-aligned board members and Mayor Brandon Johnson appointees subsequently amended that budget, banking on Pritzker coming to the rescue with that extra \$150 million in state funding.

That wasn't a good bet back in July. It looks even worse now.

But we imagine this bloc of board members felt emboldened to make it after House Speaker

Emanuel “Chris” Welch opened the door during a July 29 meeting with CTU in which he promised to push for supplemental funding.

Johnson's mayoral tenure has been marked by an inability to work with Springfield, a skill deficiency displayed by his staunch allies at the teachers union and the aligned board members on the CBOE.

One hopes that at some point, they'd get the message that wishful thinking doesn't translate to governing. A good backup plan is for voters to vote in fiscally responsible members to the board on Nov. 3. February — and the mayoral election — follow shortly after.

Attorney General Kwame Raoul said Friday that the state will be using the money on programs meant to address the harms caused by social media.

"People hear of money and they want to spend it real fast, but one of the things I need to make and want to make clear to all who are sort of salivating is that we were very intentional," Raoul said in an interview Thursday. "It'll be restricted towards abating the problem caused by social media addiction and other harms caused by social media."

We'll be interested to see exactly how that looks. On its face, the decision makes sense, though we'd argue it might make even more sense to let as much of that money as possible flow directly to the families who experienced these harms. The states brought this case over alleged harms to kids from social media, after all.

It's the parents and kids affected by these harms who should benefit from such a lawsuit — not teachers unions or other political actors looking for another pot of money to spend.

ON THIS DAY 21 YEARS AGO KATRINA'S WRATH

It is as hard to predict what will be most terrifying about a hurricane as it is hard to be precise about where it will hit and how much damage it will wreak.

There are the hours when the winds pick up from a steady whoosh to a roar, the rain slashing horizontally and pounding like nails, the uncertainty of knowing exactly what's going on outside or whether the storm will zig or zag or slam head on with its full fury.

And then when it's over, it's not over. The waters keep rising, swirling up a stew of debris and muck and stench and danger. ... Power is out. So are the phones, so it's impossible to quickly assess what went down outside of your range of vision. ...

Yet Katrina wreaked havoc on a level not experienced in the U.S. since the terrorist attacks of 2001. The effects will challenge the Gulf Coast's economy and its psyche for months if not years to come.

The governor of Louisiana ordered the complete evacuation of New Orleans after two levees broke and the city began filling with water like a bathtub.

Mississippi's governor said he had unconfirmed reports of up to 80 deaths in his state, but with so many areas impossible to reach Tuesday that toll could rise.

Highways were turned into rivers, bridges washed away, and countless homes and businesses were obliterated.

It will be months before the toll—in dollars and lives, to be sure, but also in lifetimes of treasured memories stashed away in homes that no longer exist—can be toted up. ...

Back on the Gulf, oil costs were probably the last things on most minds. Jean Jenkins spent seven hours huddled in the attic of her flooded Moss Point, Miss., home before she could be rescued. "We've got nothing left," she cried afterward in the arms of her daughter, according to the Biloxi Sun Herald.

Wrong, the daughter replied: "You've got you."

OPINION

Gary deserves better than a broken grid and broken promises from NIPSCO

By Lori Latham SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

Kylea Foster and her son, Kai-Amir Golden, 6, line up for lunch at a free community relief event last week for residents affected by recent storm damage in Gary. Foster and her family had been without power in her home in Gary's Etna neighborhood since the storm hit. E. JASON WAMBSGANS/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Gary entered this storm carrying the weight of decades of disinvestment, racial isolation, aging infrastructure, population loss and diminished resources. That matters in an outage, and without intentional intervention and investment, the same inequities that made our residents more vulnerable before the power outage will make it harder for our entire community to rebuild after it.

In the wake of violent storms that tore through northwest Indiana, my family was without power for 13 days. We weren't alone. Tens of thousands of Hoosiers in the Gary area spent nearly two weeks waiting for the lights to come back on. The Aug. 11 derecho, like other instances of severe weather, was an unpredictable event. A more-than-weeklong blackout, however, represents a systemic failure of leadership and infrastructure.

As I walk through the low-income and affordable multifamily-unit housing developments in my district, it is very obvious that the impact of this outage has not been felt equally.

We are seeing, yet again, that the burden of prolonged outages falls especially hard on our most vulnerable neighbors — lower-income families and communities of color, seniors on fixed incomes, and those living with disabilities and mental health challenges. For households with fewer resources and fewer alternatives, each additional day without power compounds the hardship.

Vulnerability exists at the community level, too. Gary entered this storm carrying the weight of decades of disinvestment, racial isolation, aging infrastructure, population loss and diminished resources. That matters in an outage, and without intentional intervention and investment, the same inequities that made our residents more vulnerable before the power outage will make it harder for our entire community to rebuild after it.

What makes this situation particularly egregious is that Nipsco customers have been paying for so-called “grid hardening” for years. We’ve seen rate hike after rate hike, often justified by the utility company’s stated need to build a more robust, weather-resistant electrical system.

Gary's residents are also footing the bill for the utility to keep coal plants online that aren't providing much, if any, energy and small modular nuclear reactors for data centers that may or may not be developed.

Worse, on the day the storms hit, Nipsco filed yet another rate case increase with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. The monopoly utility filed two more rate increases days later. If state regulators approve those requests, we could be paying a nearly \$88 annual increase, some of which would start showing up on our bills as soon as Nov. 1.

This isn't what resilience, reliability or affordability look like, and this current nightmare was far from inevitable.

We have pushed for a smarter, more resilient and more affordable energy future for years. As former chair of the Environmental and Climate Justice Committee for the NAACP's Gary branch,

I led the push for the implementation of initiatives such as the federally funded Solar for All program, which emphasized the creation of resilience hubs, microgrids and distributed renewable energy. The Gary Common Council unanimously passed a resolution against a rate increase for Nipsco in an attempt to keep our residents' bills affordable.

Nipsco didn't listen to ratepayers or elected officials who represent its customers' communities. Instead, it traded investing in local battery storage and decentralized solar power and properly maintaining its own aging infrastructure for higher and higher profits.

It's time to move aggressively toward a resilient future. Let Aug. 11 mark the day we stopped watching these vital initiatives stall or be derailed by political whims and refuse to rely on a centralized infrastructure model that is clearly proving its obsolescence.

We are tired of footing the bill for a utility that fails to keep the lights on. We need transparency, we need immediate accountability and we need a shift in focus. Nipsco must prioritize people over profits, and our state and national leaders must stop obstructing the renewable infrastructure projects that offer a path toward true resilience.

We deserve a grid that works for everyone, not just those who can afford to wait.

Lori Latham represents the 1st District on the Gary Common Council.

Roosevelt, Eisenhower were models of statesmanship

devised a new national security strategy.

New York Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt relaxes by the fireside at his home on Nov. 6, 1932, following the end of several arduous months of campaigning as the Democratic presidential candidate. Roosevelt would go on to give fireside chats to the nation after becoming president. AP

By John T. Shaw SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

I've long been intrigued by the presidencies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower and believe they each offer important and illuminating examples of the kind of statesmanship the United States urgently needs.

Roosevelt was a liberal Democrat and Eisenhower a conservative Republican. Their families, educations, personalities, professional backgrounds, governing styles and political skills could not have been more different. However, each represented the best of his party's governing philosophy and leadership tradition. Both offer compelling statesmanship lessons.

Roosevelt was from a wealthy New York family. His charmed early life and promising political career were slowed, but not halted, when he was stricken with polio in his late 30s. He refused to be derailed by his partial paralysis, became an effective governor of New York and then was elected four times as president of the United States, serving from 1933 until his death in 1945. He led America through the Depression with an activist and experimental approach to governing.

"It is common sense to take a method and try it," he said. "If it fails, admit it frankly, and try another. But above all, try something."

David Kennedy, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, recently told me that Roosevelt possessed a genius that approached “political magic.” He understood the mood of his time, with its complex blend of anger, fear and despair. According to Kennedy, Roosevelt had the special ability to “understand historical opportunities in their moment.” Roosevelt offered frightened and dispirited Americans a vision of a secure future. His periodic fireside chats were broadcast on the radio and captivated the nation with their warmth, clarity and resolve.

"Good evening friends," he began, offering ideas, plans and, most importantly, hope. He exuded confidence.

Roosevelt was both a crisis manager and a structural reformer who fundamentally changed the role of the federal government and the nation's expectations of the state. On top of that, he also skillfully navigated the United States through one of the most threatening international upheavals imaginable in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Roosevelt and Britain's Winston Churchill shrewdly and courageously led the West in the epic battle against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan through World War II. Even in the midst of this global struggle, Roosevelt contemplated the future and envisioned the critical role that a new United Nations might play.

Eisenhower, although a contemporary of Roosevelt, came from another world and displayed a different leadership style. Eisenhower was born into a family of seven boys and grew up in Abilene, Kansas, on what was generally considered the wrong side of the tracks.

He studied at West Point, had superb military mentors, developed extraordinary leadership skills and matured into a five-star general who led the epic D-Day invasion and reconquest of Europe. Gen. George Marshall, his boss who was notoriously parsimonious with praise, told Eisenhower that “you have made history, great history, for the good of mankind, and have stood for all we hope for and admire in an officer of the United States Army.”

Eisenhower possessed iron discipline, sunny self-confidence and a mind that loved organizational challenges. Tackling practical problems, he said, was “my equivalent of crossword puzzles.”

Initially avoiding politics after the war ended, he eventually plunged in. He secured the Republican presidential nomination in 1952 and then won the national election by a landslide that year and in 1956. Not as verbally eloquent as Roosevelt, Eisenhower communicated with a broad smile and a confident demeanor. Americans admired and trusted Ike.

He was a champion of disciplined and effective government. His statesmanship was as a planner, organizer and builder. He oversaw the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the interstate highway system, expanded America's space program, created NASA, balanced the federal budget and

Eisenhower's leadership was based on what he described as “a fair, decent and reasonable dealing with men, a reasonable recognition that views may diverge, a constant seeking for a high and strong ground on which to work together.”

His vision of America's global role was simple and profound. The United States should "display a spirit of firmness without truculence, conciliation without appeasement, confidence without arrogance."

Eisenhower's farewell address was a master class in statesmanship. In addition to his prescient warning about the emerging "military-industrial complex," he emphasized restraint and stewardship. Americans, he said, should "avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage."

Whatever our party affiliation or political views, Americans should appreciate Roosevelt's ingenuity, determination and confidence and applaud Eisenhower's competence, planning and stewardship. We need Roosevelt's flexibility and agility and Ike's solidity and stamina to successfully tackle immigration reform, deficits and debt, climate change and other challenges.

I urge our current leaders to adopt as their credo the words inscribed on a desk plate on Eisenhower's Oval Office desk. On one side was Latin: "Suaviter in modo, fortiter in re." And on the other side was the English translation: "Gently in manner, strongly in deed."

Thank you, Dolly Parton, for your music, good humor and public service

Niloo Tabatabai drops flowers near a mural of Dolly Parton in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood on Wednesday, after she died peacefully the previous day in Nashville, Tennessee. ARMANDO L. SANCHEZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Clarence Page

Since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I am told, I was not surprised to hear Dolly Parton say in an interview that she once entered a “Dolly Parton lookalike” drag queen contest in Los Angeles unannounced — and lost.

Parton, who died Tuesday at age 80, enjoyed telling that story, which illustrated, among other things, that it wasn't always easy to be Dolly, even for Dolly.

“Nobody applauded,” she said in a May 2025 radio interview, “like a little trickle that was probably David, my hairdresser.”

Go figure. Maybe she looked too much like the real thing for anyone to believe she really was.

Either way, that little story tells us a lot about Dolly. She was more than merely tolerant of different people, her fans will say. She was welcoming.

The “Queen of Country,” as many called her for her musical talents, won me over with her soulful voice and inspired storytelling in song and verse.

She also showed impressive skills as an actress, businesswoman, fashion icon and philanthropist, all without losing any of her engaging down-home wit, grace and charm.

And she never forgot where she came from, as the old saying goes. In fact, that's where she got some of her best material, as the fourth of 12 children growing up in a tiny cabin in rural Tennessee, now reproduced in an exhibit at Dollywood, her amusement park in her Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

My appreciation for her was renewed with Whitney Houston's super hit "I Will Always Love You," popularized on the soundtrack for the 1992 thriller "The Bodyguard."

Parton wrote the song as she was preparing to leave her working partnership with fellow country star Porter Wagoner.

Although many think of the powerful love ballad as a world-class break-up song, both Parton and Wagoner denied there was any romance involved in their writing partnership. Dolly actually was married to Carl Dean for nearly 60 years until he died in 2025.

She wrote more than 3,000 songs in her career, which she described as starting with a tune she composed at age 5.

Dolly was the salt of the earth. This quality shone in her songwriting and in the way she lived her life. It's not surprising she had fans in every walk of life and in every corner of the planet.

Among her many memorable artistic collaborations was one with the Black South African a capella group Ladysmith Black Mambazo in the mid-1990s. Together, the group covered Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and Cat Stevens' "Peace Train." She later invited the group to perform

at Dollywood.

Sibongiseni Shabalala, a member of the group and the son of its founder, expressed his condolences to Parton's family.

"This terrible death is not only for them but for the world as well," he told BBC World Service. "She was beautiful outside as well as within."

Back here in the United States, my respect for Dolly got a huge boost when we Americans were locked down during the COVID-19 pandemic. As many Americans felt near panic, wondering what would happen next, Dolly Parton stepped up and announced a \$1 million donation to Vanderbilt University Medical Center to help expedite development of the Moderna vaccine, which at least one correspondent suggested

renaming "the Dolly."

And if her legacy is to be remembered for anything besides good music, I would vote for the Imagination Library, a program that Parton began in 1995, inspired by her father, who couldn't read.

The program mails a free book each month to millions of children from birth until age 5. Thanks to corporate and nonprofit partnerships, as well as grants from state governments, the Imagination Library has distributed more than 300 million free books.

Parton was a trailblazing philanthropist in other ways as well. When wildfires struck communities in the Great Smoky Mountains in 2016, she wrote monthly \$1,000 checks to families made homeless.

The emergency aid, as The New York Times commented, "distinguished her as one of pop culture's most prolific philanthropists." Other rich people started funneling their charity through her foundation.

It's worth pondering that Parton focused so much of her charity on helping children and families, despite not having children of her own. In that sense, dear Dolly reminds me of one of my favorite grade school teachers, who told our class she didn't need to have children at home since she was happy to have all of us.

Perhaps Dolly felt that way, too. She will be missed and, as we should tell all conscientious school-teachers, we thank her for her service.

Express trains to O'Hare

I read with interest the Aug. 25 article “15-minute train to O’Hare pitched” and the Aug. 25 editorial “An express train from the Loop to O’Hare in 15 minutes? We’re on board” about a proposed O’Hare Flyer express train. A much cheaper and more efficient way to accomplish this is by utilizing existing CTA infrastructure.

The Blue Line runs between O'Hare International Airport and the Loop. By adding a few switches, an airport express train could weave between local trains and proceed nonstop between O'Hare and the Loop. System software could easily be updated to safely route airport express trains around slower local trains. The infrastructure costs to improve the Blue Line would be a small fraction of the proposed O'Hare Flyer or the Elon Musk tunnel. It could also be accomplished in a fraction of the time without significant regulatory hurdles, e.g., negotiating with the railroads and securing federal approval.

Existing CTA trains could be configured to run express. However, it would be advantageous to build new cars. The cars could be equipped with state-of-the-art suspension systems whereby they could safely travel at higher speeds with enhanced stability, noise reduction and rider comfort on existing rails. Airport express cars could have a different design/color so riders could readily distinguish them from Blue Line trains and be equipped with luggage racks and other travel-friendly features.

Existing Blue Line stations in the Loop could be utilized, which would be far more convenient than the proposed new O'Hare Flyer station in the old post office. It would be great to have a dedicated Loop station for the airport express branched off and parallel to the Blue Line, but that could come later.

Furthermore, the same concept could be applied to the Orange Line to run express trains to and from Midway.

— Paul Juettner, Chicago

Fewer stops for Blue Line

Regarding the article about a train that would shuttle flyers from the Loop to O'Hare International Airport: It sounds more doable than other ideas put forward in the past. I wonder why the city does not have Blue Line A and B lines that would make fewer stops from downtown to O'Hare. This would likely decrease the time to O'Hare, perhaps to under 30 minutes. The infrastructure is already in place, and downtown is where the tourists are.

Certainly, downtown stations need upgrades, especially for tourists with luggage: elevators that work or escalators, as well as staff members who could assist tourists.

In addition, many stations are woefully dirty and could use cleaning, repairs and a coat of paint. Chicago subway stations are among the first sights many tourists see upon arriving in the city. Personally, I love the CTA but believe it could make a far better showing and utility.

Finally, I don't see why a 15-minute train and a faster Blue Line could not coexist.

— Paul R. Herman, Chicago

How to reduce shootings

The Aug. 2 commentary (“Four ideas that could cut Chicago’s shootings in half”) suggesting ways to reduce criminal shootings by 50% in Chicago begs the question: Why should Chicagoans be satisfied with a 50% shooting reduction in the first place? The authors, former interim Chicago police Superintendent Charlie Beck, University of Chicago professor Jens Ludwig and community violence interventionist Chico Tillman, claim four “evidence-based” ways would reduce shootings. They ignore two necessary components.

The first is to silence the “all your fault” narrative directed at young people who have nothing to do with creating the social environments they inhabit. We might as well blame them for the COVID-19 pandemic or starting climate change. It’s past time to recognize that young adults are the solution, not the problem, and any effective anti-violence strategy converts them into empowered partners who strengthen neighborhood mechanisms of accountability.

It may start with fixing broken windows, cleaning up trash-filled lots, reducing the availability of weapons and better training of law enforcement personnel, but it doesn't start with repairing a lack impulse control. It begins more positively, by thanking young people for raising the bar of academic excellence found in a handful of public high schools and also sprinkled throughout parochial classrooms and charter school learning centers. We ought to recognize students achieving near perfect attendance despite living with housing insecurity, and it's overdue to acknowledge nameless students who quietly steer their peers away from participating in "teen takeovers."

Secondly, it's time to recognize what makes the village work. Published three decades ago, a seminal research study on the origins of anti-social behavior — “The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods”

— identified “collective efficacy,” or a sense of social cohesion and informal social control, as a buffer against delinquent and criminal behavior. The study found that when neighbors know each other, support each other and hold standards of behavior for their children together, the expected occurrence of crime does not happen.

Neighbors have the capacity to influence behaviors on their blocks and in their communities, and young people can be held to accountability standards that eschew violence. The premise for prevention is to create an accountability role for everyone to play, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.

Doing so sends the message: "Your life matters to me."

Priorities for pediatric care

The University of Chicago Medicine recently announced the appointment of Emily Chase as the first president of Comer Children's Hospital. As a medical student at Comer, I celebrate Chase's appointment. New leadership offers an opportunity for a new vision that pediatric advocates should take seriously.

Across Illinois and the nation, hospitals have been closing inpatient pediatric units and shuttering high-acuity Level 1 facilities as reimbursement declines. A long-standing question is: Who is our medical system really built for, and where does pediatric care fit?

Comer is the only academic children's hospital serving Chicago's South Side, caring for our region's most vulnerable patients. Yet in its integrated health system, pediatric care must compete with adult care, which is often more profitable. Healthcare administrators often say, "No margin, no mission." Pediatric services disproportionately care for families on Medicaid, whose reimbursement rates rarely match affluent, private-payer-heavy markets. Amid these reimbursement pressures, Comer's new chapter should not allow margin to become the mission.

Now is the time for a strategic visioning process. Call it Comer 2035, a vision separate from the system's broader Elevate 2035 plan that would articulate Comer's pediatric-specific values and

commitments.

I am optimistic about Chase, a proven transformative leader; the question is whether that transformation will extend to pediatric care. This moment calls on pediatric advocates to pair honest scrutiny with optimism, or we risk watching pediatric care on the South Side settle for less than our children deserve.

Chicago's most vulnerable children too often lack a seat at the healthcare table. The University of Chicago Medicine has offered a real chance to change that. Comer's future is bright if we advocate for it, and Chase's leadership can exemplify what it means to be at the forefront of pediatric medicine.

Handling of allegations

The Aug. 27 front-page story on the Rev. Michael Pfleger's return to his Auburn Gresham parish (“The archdiocese’s process is unjust, and it’s broken”) left me with some questions. Regarding the comment that the system is “broken,” I’m wondering if this is compartmentalization. Genuine sexual abuse has affected so many. While there may be room for discussion that we have gone to the other extreme regarding this issue, we can’t ever forget that there was a time when many children were abused and there were grave mistakes in how the abuse was handled.

I hope that the Chicago Archdiocese will continue to be a voice for those who have come forward while also finding a way to honor that one is innocent until proved guilty.

TV mainstay was a newsman of ‘old school’ values, talent

By Rick Kogan CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Jim Ruddle may have vanished from local TV screens 40 years ago — leaving town to travel the world in a 35-foot custom-built steel-hulled cutter — but news of his death brought forth a stream of memories and praise from his former colleagues and even ratings rivals.

Ruddle died Thursday in Rye, New York, of natural causes at age 94. His death was announced by family members on social media.

“Jim Ruddle was old school, and that’s a good thing,” said Bill Kurtis, the former anchorman at WBBM-Ch. 2. “He was an anchorman who valued fairness and clarity. Be first, but be accurate. His talent was writing, and that was a skill that stood out in the early days of television news, writing that left its mark among names like Kalber, Drury, Chancellor, Cronkite, Calloway. It’s good company. ... It was old school.”

Carol Marin, with whom Ruddle worked with for many years at WMAQ-Ch. 5, said, “Jim had a photographic memory, an IQ in the stratosphere and a journalism résumé that spanned PBS, WGN, WMAQ and the NBC network. He was old school.... And that, he would tell you, is the highest of compliments.”

"Old school" it is, then.

James F. Ruddle was born on May 20, 1932, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the youngest of three children of George and Lucille (Baxter) Ruddle. After graduating from high school, where one of his teachers had been a mentor to radio broadcaster Paul Harvey, he went on to the University of Tulsa.

He enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard in 1951. During his three-year term, he served as a radio operator in the North Atlantic and the Pacific.

As a teen, he had worked broadcasting baseball games and handling other topics and chores for a small radio station, and after his Coast Guard stint, he joined a Tulsa TV station in 1954. He later worked toward a graduate degree from the University of New Mexico while following a broadcasting route that took him to, among many places, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Tampa, Florida, (where he also taught for a time at the University of South Florida) and Mexico

City, Mexico.

He came to Chicago in 1965, teaming with a news-man named Gary Park on WGN-Ch. 9's news shows and becoming the first of what is now the standard two-person anchor teams.

He moved to WMAQ-Ch. 5 in 1967 and distinguished himself as reporter and anchorman on afternoon shifts. In 1975, he took the surprising step into public broadcasting, becoming the news anchor at WTTW-Ch. 11's "Public News Center." Two years later, he became a regional correspondent for NBC. His duties, he would later say, involved being available "24 hours a day, seven days a week, whenever they wanted to use me. ... I saw a lot of blizzards."

Married to Anne, who shunned the spotlight, their four children were Emily, Blake, Brey and Kristen.

Ruddle moved back to WMAQ in 1977. Many considered him heir apparent to the popular Floyd Kalber, but instead he did a bit of anchoring and investigative reporting and proved a powerful commentator.

In the TV tradition of his station's Len O'Connor and Walter Jacobson, then at WBBM-Ch. 2, he was hard-hitting and provocative, sometimes to the irritation of his corporate bosses. Media columnist Rob Feder called him an anchorman and commentator of "exceptional intellect and gravitas."

But he bridled at office politics and restrictions, and when his contract ended in 1986, Ruddle did not sign a new one, telling Feder, “I’m not trying to find work here, there or anywhere.” He had decided instead to live full time on his boat. As his wife remained in Chicago and their children pursued their adult lives, he began his sailing life on the boat named Zarzuela, Spanish for a form of lively musical theater.

He sailed the Atlantic, the Mississippi and the Great Lakes. He kept in touch with some Chicago pals, his children and their families. His wife, Anne, died in 2018, and he formed a long relationship with companion and magazine editor Marilyn Balamaci.

He eventually settled in Rye, where he wrote a charming young adult novel, "My Name Is Luke," an adventure story set in 1850s New England about a savvy 15-year-old boy who gets trapped by two seafaring bad guys. He said he was inspired to write it by his growing brood of grandchildren.

In the wake of his death, daughter Brey Sloan, writing on Facebook, called her father “an exceptional man who led an amazing life. ... Trusted newsman, marvelous conversationalist, sailor, adventurer, protector, epic storyteller, loving PawPaw, the man with a beautiful baritone voice.”

He did not miss the broadcast business. He felt that he had been lucky, he told a reporter, “to have been there at the beginning and for the best years of television journalism, and comfortable in knowing that I’m out of it now. It ain’t the same.”

His former WMAQ colleague and friend Peter Nolan, former newsman and author of the 2012 book "Campaign!: The 1983 Election that Rocked Chicago," said that, "Jim was the brightest person I ever met in broadcasting. When I worked at WMAQ as a writer, Jim co-anchored the early news with John Palmer and the legendary Floyd Kalber soloed the 10 o'clock show. In those days, we used an old-style teleprompter which stood beside the camera. Kalber was very good at using it. But Jim, who had a photographic memory, could study the script for 10 minutes and then read the entire thing on air from memory. Floyd once told me that Ruddle had the best damn voice on the entire NBC network.

“He also had a fantastic sense of humor. One of my favorite memories is singing old songs with him in some neighborhood tavern.”

Along with his children, Ruddle is survived by six grandchildren and several great-grandchildren, as well as Balamaci.

A memorial service is being planned.

Death Notices

Livingston, Theodore A

Theodore A. "Teddy" Livingston, of Steamboat Springs, passed away peacefully on July 13, 2026, surrounded by family and friends. Born February 18, 1980, in Chicago to Ted and Susan Livingston at 25 weeks gestation, Teddy was one of the most premature babies in the world to survive and thrive—a miracle baby featured in the Chicago Tribune. He grew up skiing and waterskiing, joining Team Wilmot's downhill race team and the Aquanuts show ski team, where he shared a special duo act with his younger sister Suzie. A gifted skier who could barefoot, jump, and ski 360s around the boat, he spent countless hours on the water with his father and step-grandmother Debbie. After Glenbrook South High School and Montana State University, where he fell in love with backcountry skiing, Teddy briefly worked in Chicago hedge funds and Denver before the mountains called him home to Steamboat Springs—the place he loved most. Known for breaking into song on the chairlift, dancing while cooking his famous breakfast sandwiches, and loving every dog he met, Teddy made lasting friends through his passion for the outdoors. He is survived by his partner Jennifer Merriett; step-grandmother Debbie Arnesen; mother Susan; sisters Jenni (Rob) Roth and Suzie Livingston (Cody Stephenson); niece Tate Roth; and nephews Mac, Tucker, Gray, and Dashiell Roth. He is also survived by aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father Ted Livingston Jr. and his grandparents. A celebration of life will be held 2–6 p.m. on October 4, 2026, at Olympian Hall at Howelsen Hill. All who knew and loved Ted are welcome. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to STARS (Steamboat Adaptive Recreational Sports).

Question: Now that August is ending,

Mark McGinnis

how do the monthly observed temperatures and precipitation compare to the long-term averages?

Chris, Oak Park

Answer: Hi, Chris. As of Aug. 29, temperatures this August are only .1 of a degree above average. The warmest day was Aug. 10 with a high of 87. Rainfall is slightly above average, .23 of an inch above average. The day with the most rainfall observed was Aug. 1, when 1.85 inches of rain fell. By Monday night, observations at O'Hare for the month will end near normal for temperature and precipitation. These observations do not document the severe weather we experienced. Severe weather will make August 2026 memorable for many people.

Ukraine war lessons shared as tensions with Russia on rise

By Konstantin Toropin ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOHENFELS, Germany — On a moonless, rainy night, a group of soldiers emerged from a ramshackle building meant to resemble a church. The alpine terrain loomed over them as they quietly set off for the tree line of the German countryside a short distance away.

The soldiers are members of the Polish special forces and are taking part in an exercise designed only months ago that simulates moving through enemy lines, traversing miles of enemy territory and launching a drone strike on a key enemy location.

Initially designed by the Army's Green Berets for U.S. special forces, the exercise that began Friday is informed by and simulates many of the challenges that Ukrainian troops have experienced in their conflict with Russia. It is the first time a NATO ally like Poland has undertaken the training, and it comes at a time when tensions between Russian President Vladimir Putin and NATO countries have escalated.

“We’re using lessons learned from Ukraine,” an Army Green Beret officer assigned to the training complex said Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with the U.S. military’s longstanding policy of not publicly identifying individual members of special forces units. “All of those effects that we’re seeing either Russia or Ukraine having to overcome – we’re doing our best to replicate.”

The Associated Press received rare access to both the training ground and the troops conducting the exercise, which has only been conducted twice before, both times this year, by two Green Beret teams.

The drill highlights the focus that some parts of the U.S. military have on learning the latest techniques in drone warfare, pioneered by Ukraine during its 4 ½-year effort to repel Russian forces. It also shows how the U.S., its NATO allies and Ukraine are working together to counter the threat of possible further Russian action in coming years even as the Trump administration has warned of troop drawdowns in Europe.

CIA Director John

Ratcliffe went to Moscow last week to warn Russia not to attack NATO countries, The Wall Street Journal reported. Russia has the appetite to conduct sabotage and cyberattacks against NATO countries, but Putin wants to avoid a direct confrontation, according to three Western officials, who spoke Friday on condition of anonymity.

During the exercise in Germany, a senior enlisted soldier familiar with the training scenario at Joint Multinational Readiness Center Hohenfels — about an hour's drive southeast from Nuremberg — said the plan is to run it several times a year. The officer said he expects most, if not all, of the 32 NATO nations to express interest in sending their troops to try the exercise. He also spoke on condition of anonymity.

The scenario, which runs for several days, takes place on a large, 1,100-square-mile plot of land nestled in the Bavarian countryside.

Poland's special forces will be expected to sneak past a U.S. Army airborne infantry unit, whose soldiers will play the enemy. The U.S. airborne infantry unit will parachute into the closed-off training area at the Army's Hohen-fels base and set themselves up into a front line.

Assuming the Polish forces can make their way past the U.S. Army, they must then move north — through about 60 miles of German countryside — to another training area in the town of Grafenwoehr, where they are expected to destroy a simulated target.

In between lie German farms and villages, private and government cameras, as well as a city with a large population, all of which not only pose as obstacles but also create the potential for them to be spotted. The senior enlisted soldier said that in previous instances, the Army Green Berets removed their uniforms “so they can blend in” before adding that “blend in also means don’t get seen by civilians.”

German civilians in the area largely are not aware of the exercise and serve as a reasonable test of how well special forces can blend into the local population. If they fail, reports of suspicious people to police will make it back to the military, which will be used to pinpoint the team.

“This is supposed to be Russia and you’re going to stand out in Russia,” the enlisted soldier added.

Plus, the U.S. Army also will be looking for the Polish forces with drones of their own. If they're spotted, "now you have the entire Russian arsenal coming at you," the enlisted soldier said.

The U.S. Army can either send a military police unit to hunt for the Polish special forces with dogs or direct more drones to the area. In previous versions of the exercise, the U.S. Army had access to more than a hundred drones, the enlisted soldier said. Troops are able to be “captured or killed” as part of the training.

While the exercise taps into drones and NATO teamwork, the message of collaboration and the value of drones has been somewhat mixed lately across the military.

President Donald Trump stirred confusion among NATO allies by going back and forth on drawing down U.S. troop levels in Europe, and the administration has launched a force review on next steps. And last week, the Army's top officer shuttered a unit that specialized in drone warfare.

Meanwhile, the number of mysterious drone incursions in Europe have grown, including as recently as this month, when two drones were spotted over a German military base and a drone carrying explosives was found at a key cargo airport in Germany.

NASA's newest telescope looking to reveal secrets

On mission to hunt for hidden planets, explore dark energy

By Marcia Dunn ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA's newest crown jewel telescope blasted off Sunday to hunt for planets around other stars, explore secret dark energy and survey the cosmos like never before.

SpaceX launched the \$4.3 billion Roman Space Telescope shortly after daybreak aboard a triple-the-fire-power Falcon Heavy rocket. Roman blazed toward an observation point 1 million miles away that's home to the Webb Space Telescope, one of NASA's other big-ticket eyes in the sky.

The bus-size telescope — named after the late Nancy Grace Roman, NASA's first chief astronomer — will take more than three months to reach its destination. Once there, it will cast the widest gaze yet on the hidden parts of the universe from space, uncovering the unimaginable with unsurpassed speed.

"It's going to find thousands of supernovae, tens of thousands of planets, billions of galaxies and tens of billions of stars," said NASA science mission director Nicky Fox. "It's going to be able to do things that we've never been able to do before with its massive field of view."

Several minutes after the thunderous launch from Kennedy Space Center, the rocket's two reusable side boosters descended tail-first in a thrilling scene, producing sharp sonic booms as they landed back at Cape Canaveral. Soon afterward, the telescope separated successfully from the rocket's upper stage, drawing applause from ground controllers.

Fox was in tears watching the action unfold.

“It’s such a good day!” she said.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman was in the middle of a news conference a couple hours later, predicting that the Roman Space Telescope would soon become a household name, when his cellphone rang. President Donald Trump was on the line, offering congratulations.

“Boy, it looked beautiful on television,” said Trump, fresh off his visit to Houston’s Johnson Space Center on Friday to honor the Artemis II moon crew. "You're the hottest in space."

Roman's field of view is more than 100 times wider than that of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, still churning out celestial glamour shots after 36 years in orbit. Webb joined the effort several years ago with an even narrower yet spot-on vision capable of zooming in on objects almost as old as the universe-creating Big Bang.

These three orbiting powerhouses will join forces — along with the European Space Agency's Euclid spacecraft and the National Science Foundation's Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile — to reveal some of the universe's biggest secrets.

Inside the countless galaxies awaiting discovery are stars with planets. Once these new worlds are spotted by Roman, the more powerful and sensitive Webb will take aim to fill in the blanks.

“Roman’s vast reach will allow us to find the weird, the rare and the unusual,” senior project scientist Julie McEnery said on the eve of launch. “We’ll redefine what it means to find a needle in a haystack.”

Perhaps even more important, astronomers expect Roman to shed light on the dark matter and dark energy that make up most of the universe yet remain concealed. Roman's catalog of galaxies will help scientists ascertain how quickly the universe is expanding due to these puzzling, unseen forces.

Roman's superpower is speed.

A month of Milky Way observations by Roman would take Hubble a century to complete, according to McEnery. Roman should make quick work of scanning the galactic bulge at dead center, she added, providing the deepest look yet into the heart of our galaxy.

Besides a wide-field infrared camera that matches Hubble's sensitivity but is 1,000 times faster, Roman holds an instrument to block out starlight. This experimental, eclipse-creating coronagraph will allow Roman to directly image any planet, however faint, that might be orbiting the masked star.

While Roman isn't designed to search for life, Fox said it will pave the way for future observatories to answer what NASA considers the biggest question: "Are we alone? Is there another Earth 2.0 looking back at me?"

The telescope is designed to be refueled, meaning if a robotic tanker becomes available in the coming decade, that could extend its life.

Launching nearly a year ahead of schedule and within budget, Roman is NASA's first space telescope to be named after a woman.

Retired NASA scientist Ed Weiler said the honor is long overdue. He coined the phrase “Mother of Hubble” for Roman, who hired him in 1978. Observatories above Earth’s obscuring atmosphere can see farther and better, she insisted after joining the brand-new NASA in 1959. She died in 2018 at 93.

“This is very, very fitting. I think Nancy would be very proud,” Weiler said.

Relative of Afghans who aided US military in conflict deported to Africa

By Miriam Jordan and Hamed Aleaziz THE NEW YORK TIMES

A deportation plane carrying about 70 foreign nationals, one of an increasing number of flights that have sent thousands of immigrants to countries where they have no ties, left for the Central African Republic on Friday, according to advocacy organizations.

On board was a 24-year-old Afghan whose father, brother and sister worked alongside U.S. forces, said AfghanEvac, a U.S.-based group that assists Afghan allies, the American Civil Liberties Union and a person familiar with the operation who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Deporting relatives of Afghans who aided the U.S. military during its 20-year campaign in Afghanistan breaks a long-standing American commitment to protect wartime allies. Thousands of Afghans fled with their families after the Taliban overthrew the U.S.-backed government five years ago.

Under the Biden administration, many received special visas or asylum. Immigration judges granted others “withholding of removal,” which allows noncitizens not granted asylum to remain in the United States because they would face grave danger if returned to their country.

The Trump administration has sought to strip hundreds of thousands of people of protected statuses. Following a Supreme Court ruling, the administration began signing accords with third countries to accept deportees.

About 19,000 people have been sent to Mexico even though they have no ties to the country. Overall, 23,000 have been sent to countries they are not from, according to Human Rights First and Refugees International, groups that track third-country deportation flights.

Khalil, the 24-year-old deported Friday, is identified by his first name at the request of his lawyer out of concern for his safety. He was granted withholding of removal last year by an immigration judge who found his fear of persecution credible, said his lawyer, Alma David.

The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to questions about deporting relatives of Afghan allies.

Among those deported Friday were about 20 Afghans, according to advocacy groups and a person familiar with the operation.

Friday's flight was the third since June to the

Central African Repub- lic, a country enduring its own civil war, according to Human Rights First, which tracks deportation flights.

“Sending people who won protection in immigration court to a conflict zone is a callous and deliberate strategy by this administration to force people to abandon their claims and rights,” said Sarah Mehta, deputy director of immigration policy and government affairs at the American Civil Liberties Union.

Blanche dismisses critics' concerns

Trump's AG, former personal attorney defends his record

By Alanna Durkin Richer ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Attorney General Todd Blanche's fidelity to President Donald Trump nearly cost him his confirmation. Now comes Blanche's real test.

Trump's former personal attorney has stepped into the commanding role facing a challenge that other leaders of the Republican president's Department of Justice could not overcome: threading the needle between Trump's boundary-busting demands and a prosecutor's duty to uphold the rule of law.

At the same time, Blanche must try to stabilize a workforce shaken by an exodus of experienced lawyers and an erosion of trust in the judicial branch.

In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press during a trip last week to Puerto Rico, Blanche promised to lead the department with integrity, dismissing concerns from critics who say his actions so far

— including an indictment against longtime Trump foe and former FBI Director James Comey — call into question whether Blanche is still functioning as Trump's personal lawyer.

A slew of ongoing politically charged investigations under Blanche's watch could force him to choose between his long-standing loyalty to the president and the foundational principles of the Cabinet agency he leads. At stake is the fate of a department already reeling under a president who has made clear his desire for retribution over the criminal scrutiny he faced.

"My integrity, my commitment to the rule of law is the same today that it was the day I graduated," Blanche told the AP when asked where he would draw the line on requests from the White House. "I would never do anything unethical or improper or violate my oath, no matter the circumstances." Critics disagree.

As acting attorney general, Blanche came under fire from lawmakers, including many Republicans, for signing off on a \$1.8 billion fund meant to compensate Trump's allies who believed they were politically prosecuted. He also greenlit a deal that granted Trump, the Trump Organization, and two of his sons immunity from tax audits. Those moves, unusual steps aimed at granting the president and his allies far-reaching benefits, put Blanche's confirmation at risk, prompting key senators to express concern.

In the AP interview, Blanche addressed criticism of the department under his leadership, his priorities as attorney general and losses the administration has had in high-profile cases. He also depicted the Justice Department as an institution whose independence had eroded long ago — a characterization at odds with decades of fierce autonomy that challenged the highest echelons of power in Washington and beyond.

Blanche, a former federal prosecutor in New York, walks the same tightrope as Trump's three other Senate-confirmed attorneys general. They found their pledges to uphold the rule of law and the department's ethical norms at odds with the president's demands to bend the institution to his will. During Trump's first term, one attorney general infuriated Trump over his withdrawal from an investigation into Trump's winning White House campaign and was forced out. Another submitted his resignation weeks after breaking with Trump over Trump's false claims of election fraud. Blanche's immediate predecessor, Pam Bondi, was ousted in April after failing to deliver successful prosecutions against the president's political enemies.

Blanche's narrow confirmation this month over opposition from two Republican senators underscored growing concerns about the dismantling of the Justice Department's long-standing tradition of independence from the White House, which is meant to protect the impartiality of politically sensitive investigations and prosecutions.

Blanche bristles at the suggestion that the Justice Department should be independent of the president, and he has made clear his view that the executive has both the power and the right to shape and control the law enforcement agency.

He has staunchly defended the integrity of cases the administration has brought against the president's perceived political opponents, often pointing to his own experience representing Trump in criminal cases brought by Democratic President Joe Biden's Justice

Department. Blanche and the president have characterized those cases as politically motivated.

"I think attorneys general and others have said, 'Oh, we're independent.' I don't think that's actually true," Blanche told the AP.

Blanche claimed the Justice Department was not truly independent when he was a federal prosecutor or during the Biden administration.

But that characterization ignores the fact that under Biden, the Justice Department investigated Biden himself over his handling of classified documents and secured felony charges in two separate cases against his son Hunter before Biden pardoned him.

The two criminal cases filed by special counsel Jack Smith against Trump were based on allegations, supported by long-running investigations, that Trump had classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and obstructed government efforts to get them back, and conspired to overturn the 2020 election.

Blanche has sought to highlight the administration's focus on tackling illegal immigration, violent crime and drug-trafficking cartels, spotlighting cases such as the takedown of a Puerto Rican gang that he announced during his visit to the U.S. island territory.

But Blanche's policy priorities are often overshadowed by a growing number of investigations that have drawn criticism that the department is being used as a weapon in the president's campaign of retribution.

Blanche's supporters have argued that the close relationship he developed with Trump while serving as his criminal defense lawyer can make him more effective at pushing back on or explaining the legal constraints of the president's demands. Others wonder whether he will fare any better than Bondi up against the same skeptical court system, and factual and legal hurdles, that impeded efforts to deliver the sought-after results.

Blanche is also confronting growing distrust of the Justice Department among judges, who in multiple cases have accused government lawyers of withholding information or misleading courts.

Courts in some cases have quashed subpoenas or ordered the review of grand jury transcripts, and the criminal cases against Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James were dismissed after a judge found the prosecutor who brought them was illegally appointed.

But Blanche played down concerns that the erosion of judicial trust could impede his efforts to advance his agenda.

"The isolated incidents that make the news are not reflective of the way the bench feels in my view, or the way prosecutors are doing their job around the country," Blanche said.

Fair fans delight in Tilt-A-Whirl as classic ride marks 100 years

By Ellen Schmidt and Mark Vancleave ASSOCIATED PRESS

FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. — With screams and giggles, whipping ponytails and white-knuckle grips, Minnesota fairgoers are taking delight in the magic of the Tilt-A-Whirl ride as it turns 100 years old.

The iconic ride and its brightly colored cars debuted at the Minnesota State Fair in 1926, and it has been a mainstay at fairs across the country ever since. Riders who stumbled off the ride Thursday spoke with The Associated Press about it, which is a favorite for many.

Valerie Nelson, a Minnesota native who returned to her home state to visit the fair, said she first rode the Tilt-A-Whirl as a child in the 1970s.

"It's my favorite ride forever and ever," she said. "Whenever I see it, I try to get on. I love the spin when it pushes you back into the chair."

“It’s the only ride I’ll go on,” said Sherri Gray, of Stillwater, Minnesota, who joined Nelson on the ride.

Samuel Mishek, 7, of Minneapolis, also said the Tilt-A-Whirl is his favorite fair ride, and he rode it twice in a row Thursday — screaming while riding alone in a car as it twirled and jerked.

"I like when there's little bumps because you can get ready and you know when it's going to turn really fast," he said.

The Tilt-A-Whirl has been a tradition at fairs around the country since 1926.

Herbert Sellner, an inventor for a manufacturing company in Faribault, Minnesota, created it after attempting to make a water ride with spinning boats — which failed and was destroyed in a storm.

After that, his brother Martin Sellner suggested he make a land-bound version, according to Rice County Historical Society curator Jenna Nelson.

Nelson, who has sifted through the Sellner family's history, said the longevity of Sellner's invention can be attributed to its design.

“It really has stood the test of time in terms of how they machined it,” she said, adding that only about 1,000 cars were ever sold, and “all of that equipment is largely the same today.”

The ride is powered by seven individual motors around a circle — and gravity makes the car spin around its dips. Weight from the riders shifts the cars' positions as they lean, sending the cars off balance, said ride operator Thomas Lauthier, who brings his Tilt-A-Whirl to fairs around the country.

Lauthier has been operating the Tilt-A-Whirl at the Minnesota State Fair for the last 12 years. He said Midwesterners have a particular affinity for the ride.

And many riders said the Tilt-A-Whirl has become a family tradition.

"As long as I can remember, when I was young my parents and my grandparents took me to the fair, we rode the Tilt-A-Whirl every time. We love to bring our kids and do the same thing," said Mike Pream-Anderson, a Minneapolis native. "It's definitely a family tradition. Knowing that it's 100 years old this year is pretty crazy, but I'm glad that we get to be a part of it."

Friends Riley Lovett and Molly Rossbach relived their ride with giggles and nostalgia, talking about the "butterflies" they got Thursday afternoon, and remembering the Tilt-A-Whirl rides of their past.

Upon learning the ride was 100, Lovett high-fived her friend Rossbach, who proclaimed: "Happy birthday Tilt-A-Whirl!"

Nepal warns of possible fresh flooding as people try to cope

DHADING, Nepal — Authorities in Nepal warned of possible fresh flooding Sunday and urged residents in flood-affected districts to remain on high alert after water levels rose in the Bhotekoshi River.

Flood warning notices were sent to people's phones early Sunday as rescue crews worked to clear a major highway connecting Kathmandu to one of the areas worst hit by Wednesday's catastrophic floods, which killed at least 800 people and left more than 3,000 missing in Nepal and Tibet.

The latest warnings came after Chinese authorities informed their Nepalese counterparts of increased water flow upstream, according to Dharam Raj Uprety, chief executive of Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority.

The Chinese state news agency Xinhua, citing the country's water resources ministry, said a new lake formed after Wednesday's floods high in the mountains had largely drained.

But Xinhua said the ministry warned that a crater located 3.5 miles upstream, which held an estimated 370 million gallons of water, still posed some risk and required close monitoring.

Nepal's disaster agency said Sunday the death toll had climbed to 788 with 2,502 missing, while Chinese authorities reported 16 deaths and 546 missing on the Chinese side of the border.

Wednesday's flash floods started after a glacial collapse high in the Himalayan region. Scientists said bedrock underneath a glacier gave way, taking part of the glacier with it. The rockfall was so extreme that it registered as a magnitude 5.2 earthquake.

The missing include hundreds of people from over a dozen countries who were in the region to work, visit the mountains or make a pilgrimage to a sacred peak. On Sunday, Chinese state media said 261 foreigners were missing in Tibet, including over a hundred Nepalis and others from around the world.

In Dhading, one of the worst-hit regions in Nepal, some residents began returning to ruined homes to see what could be salvaged.

Residents sat in homes with walls washed away by the floods, shoveling mud and rubble off balconies or window frames.

Others scanned the ground for items they could pick out of the mud and rinse off. One man had returned for his chickens, which he found alive. He tied them up and put them in the cabin of his truck.

“Everything is finished. Nothing is left. Not even our home,” said Sharmila Tamang, a Dhading resident trying to salvage items from her home.

At a key power plant that was severely damaged by the floods, workers started inspecting the facilities Sunday to survey the destruction. The plant serves over 20,000 people across four districts.

In the town of Galchhi, a group of residents sought higher ground on a nearby bridge and watched as the river roared by. Some pointed to enormous rocks washed downriver during earlier floods, while others standing on a suspension bridge were warned off with whistles.

Along the river, homes, vehicles and farm tractors could be seen jutting from the thick gray-brown sediment that enveloped entire villages in some areas. Parts of rice terraces along the riverside had dropped into the river after landslides hit them.

Homes and businesses left intact were still without electricity Sunday, as twisted power line poles and wires lay tangled in the mud.

Residents of flood-hit villages said they were struggling to make sense of near-constant alarms they've received since the initial floods.

“Sometimes they say a flood is coming, then we have to run again to higher ground, even at night. There is also rain,” said Govind Shreshta, a resident. “It’s really difficult for me. I have a 72-year-old father and 70-year-old mom. I must carry them and I am exhausted. It’s going on like this for those who are still alive.”

Large concrete and smaller suspension bridges were destroyed, leaving communities on the other side of the river with less easy access.

Fear of Trump factors into book cover

Nonprofit opted not to OK Mapplethorpe photo for biography

By Michael M. Grynbaum THE NEW YORK TIMES

It is an arresting, menacing image: the scarred face of Roy Cohn, the notorious New York City lawyer, fixer and master of the political dark arts, floating bodiless in a pool of black, his hooded eyes staring directly back at the viewer.

The photograph, taken by Robert Mapplethorpe in 1981, is an unforgettable depiction of its subject, and celebrated author Kai Bird thought it would make the perfect cover art for his new biography of Cohn, “American Scoundrel,” which will be released by Scribner this week.

That the picture never ended up on the book's cover is a matter of regret to Bird — and a small but telling illustration of the anxiety that has taken root in the nonprofit world because of Cohn's most famed protege, an ambitious real estate developer now serving his second term as president.

President Donald Trump loomed large in the decision by the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, which administers the artist's estate and catalog, to decline the request to license the photo, according to three people familiar with its deliberations.

Mapplethorpe, who died in 1989, is widely remembered for fighting censorship. In this case, the foundation's board feared that Trump could retaliate, perhaps by threatening its nonprofit tax status, if the president – who has used the levers of government to pressure universities, law firms and TV networks – were to take offense, the people said.

As a charitable organization, the Mapplethorpe Foundation is legally prohibited from engaging in certain political activities. Bird's book is subtitled "Roy Cohn's Dark Journey From Joe McCarthy to Donald Trump," and the board was concerned that the photo's inclusion could be construed as a kind of political act, the people said.

It would not be the first time that a cultural organization has been alarmed by the president's hardball tactics — some of which he honed under Cohn, who prosecuted Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and aided Sen. Joseph McCarthy in his witch hunt for communists.

Trump has demanded changes at the Smithsonian and taken control of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. He has threatened to strip Harvard University of its tax-exempt status. Nonprofit groups, like the Southern Poverty Law Center and Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue, have been investigated by his Justice Department.

Bird, whose 2005 biography of Robert Oppenheimer, “American Prometheus,” was adapted into the Oscar-winning Christopher Nolan film, said in an interview he was “thunderstruck” and “outraged” when he learned that the Mapplethorpe Foundation had declined to license the portrait. “It’s astonishing that these people are being so cowed, so easily,” he said.

In his book on Cohn, Bird writes that the foundation's decision was "yet another example of Roy's ghost haunting us from the grave."

The Mapplethorpe Foundation declined to comment on Bird's criticisms.

Mapplethorpe started the foundation shortly before his death “to protect his work, to advance his creative vision and to promote the causes he cared about,” according to the foundation’s website.

His photography, which explicitly depicted the sexual lives of gay men, was the subject of several well-publicized battles over free expression.

When the matter of Bird's biography arose last year, the artist's foundation made a different calculus. Its board determined that any kind of government retaliation could drain its financial resources, creating an existential risk for the organization, according to the people familiar with the board's decision-making. And while the biography may have brought attention to Mapplethorpe's work, the photo would ultimately be in service of one author's commercial endeavor.

Several First Amendment lawyers, none of whom were involved in the foundation's discussions, said the use of a photo for a scholarly biography would not typically constitute political activity. But the lawyers acknowledged it was difficult to ignore the uneasy atmosphere of the Trump era.

"The idea that a photograph of a dead mobster lawyer could somehow qualify as political activity, even under the Trump administration, is hard to fathom," said Suzanne Nossel, a former CEO of free expression group PEN America. "And yet, we're in an environment where no one feels they can rule anything out."

The photo itself has a colorful history.

In 1981, Andy Warhol dispatched Steven M.L. Aronson, a writer and book editor, to conduct a Q&A with Cohn for an issue of Interview magazine, Warhol's arts and culture publication. By then, Cohn was a New York celebrity: a power player who partied at Studio 54 and represented moguls, mobsters and media barons.

Aronson persuaded Cohn to pose for Mapplethorpe, a friend whose work was still relatively obscure. Their meeting was an unusual encounter between an artist who celebrated the lives of gay men and a closeted lawyer whose anti-gay virulence would later be depicted in the Tony Kushner play "Angels in America." Cohn and Mapplethorpe would die from AIDS complications before the decade's end.

Cohn adored the photo of himself, and later dined with Mapplethorpe and Aronson at the downtown New York restaurant Raoul's. "He loved publicity, for one thing," Aronson recalled of Cohn, "and the photograph was glamorous, as evil often is."

For the cover of “American Scoundrel,” Bird and his publisher ultimately settled on a portrait by photographer Britain Hill, showing Cohn in a blue pinstriped suit with his hands folded beneath his chin.

He is still staring directly at the viewer.

Markets, economy testing Bessent's credibility

Treasury chief sees limits to his powers ahead of midterms

By Alan Rappeport THE NEW YORK TIMES

When auditioning to be President Donald Trump's Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent accused Democrats of constructing a centrally planned economy. He argued that their interventions in markets were politically motivated and said the sitting Treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, was purposely changing how government bonds were being sold to stimulate the economy before the 2024 election.

“History teaches us that prioritizing free enterprise and limiting government’s role in the economy are key to raising living standards,” Bessent said at a Manhattan Institute conference.

Two years later, as Treasury secretary, Bessent is seeking his own interventions into the markets and the economy in ways that conflict with his stated philosophy. Since entering the White House, the second Trump administration has taken equity stakes in more than two dozen companies and subsidized the U.S. critical minerals industry.

A former skeptic of tariffs, Bessent last week called the taxes that the government collected from companies for their imports “the people’s money.”

But global anxiety about the United States' heavy, sustained borrowing and the war in Iran has been impossible to obscure, and Bessent is starting to see the limits of his powers to bend the global economy to his will.

Last week, six months into a war with Iran that has exacerbated inflation, the Treasury secretary unveiled a new round of economic warfare that he billed as D-Day and Operation Economic Outcast. It largely amounted to a warning to other nations that they would face U.S. sanctions if they did not cut ties

with Iran.

Bessent also tried to meddle this month in global financial markets as part of an effort to lower interest rates. He did so by announcing surprising interventions in currency and bond markets and by signaling that the U.S. government was prepared to take further action.

When markets rejected his move — which even his mentor, investor Stanley Druckenmiller, panned as senseless — he used his megaphone to make the case that investors were misguided about the fundamentals of the U.S. economy. Bessent is pushing to curb long-term bond yields and allay fears about the nation's \$40 trillion debt burden.

“He’s trying to see if he can persuade the markets by flicking his wrist to bring them to command,” said Kenneth Rogoff, a Harvard University economics professor.

Trump tapped Bessent in 2024 to be his Treasury secretary because he needed someone who could both articulate and enact his economic agenda while calming markets that tended to recoil from the president's chaotic style.

Although he was not the most likely candidate for the job at first glance, Bessent won Trump's trust with combative television appearances defending his policies, fresh ideas for how to assert control over the Federal Reserve and a new affinity for tariffs.

A South Carolina native, Bessent earned his credibility on Wall Street by making billions of dollars as the top investor for George Soros, a liberal philanthropist and longtime enemy of Republicans.

In the 1990s, Bessent, who is gay, was active in supporting gay rights and regularly donated money to Democrats running for office. The fiscal responsibility measures that the Clinton-Gore administration took were aligned with his concerns about deficits. In 2000, Bessent co-hosted a fundraiser for former Vice President Al Gore that was aimed at collecting money from gay and lesbian donors.

Sean Patrick Maloney, a former Democratic member of Congress from New York who has known Bessent for decades, said that he was not surprised by Bessent's rise in Trump's orbit. The sharp elbows that Bessent developed on Wall Street, he said, translated to Washington.

“Whether it was in a big law firm or on Wall Street, where he and I grew up, or here in politics, you realize there are certain guys out there who think gay guys are weak and you have to disabuse them of that notion,” said Maloney, who is also gay. “And sometimes that means getting in their face and telling them to go (expletive) themselves. And Scott can do that with the best of them.”

In Washington, Bessent has ditched his bookish Southern charm in favor of brass-knuckle politics.

Asked at a House hearing last year about reports that he had gotten into a physical altercation with Elon Musk, the billionaire from South Africa who was running the Department of Government Efficiency, Bessent said: “I’ll take South Carolina over South Africa any day.”

Bessent acknowledged that he had told Bill Pulte, the housing finance director, that he was going to “kick his ass” during another argument.

“Many teams have fights in the locker room and then go out and win for the team on the field,” Bessent said at a Senate hearing in June when he was asked about Pulte.

The taste for political theater that Bessent has developed over the past year could come with a price.

As he warned last week of a barrage of secondary sanctions on countries that continued to do business with Iran, Bessent acknowledged that being forced to make good on such threats could have unwanted consequences: It might erode the dominance of the dollar and create chaos for banks.

“Why would I want to blow up the global financial system?” Bessent said when asked why he was giving countries time to sever trade ties with Iran.

Taming the bond market could be equally challenging.

With midterm elections less than three months away, Trump and Republicans are under pressure to lower the cost of living in the United States.

Bessent had already been trying to keep borrowing costs down before last week, when he announced a plan to repurchase longer-term U.S. debt to stabilize the bond market.

Treasury market traders did not wait long to test Bessent and how far he might be willing to go to keep a lid on Treasury yields, which had shot up to their highest level since 2007.

Within 24 hours of announcing the bolstered buybacks, yields on long-term government bonds had essentially taken a round trip, returning after an initial decline back to levels notched before Bessent intervened. Subsequent efforts by the Treasury secretary to alleviate concerns in media appearances failed to arrest the sell-off.

The most prominent voice of skepticism came from Bessent's close friend, Druckenmiller.

A former partner of Soros, Druckenmiller called on Bessent to stop intervening in the bond market and focus on reducing deficits.

For now, Bessent appears to have Trump's support.

Speaking to reporters recently, Trump said he approved of Bessent's intervention in the bond market and that he was prepared to take even more aggressive action if necessary.

“He has a good touch, a very good natural touch for the bonds and interest,” Trump said of Bessent. “We have many types of intervention — that’s one — the ultimate intervention is our military. If we have to use that, we will.”

NEWS BRIEFING

Mutiny that targeted ruling junta in Niger is nixed with Russian aid

FROM NEWS SERVICES

ABUJA, Nigeria — Niger's capital of Niamey on Sunday appeared calm with normalcy restored after a day of unrest as aggrieved soldiers staged a mutiny that threatened the ruling military junta before being repelled by loyalist forces aided by Russian troops.

In what was seen as a major threat to the junta in power since a 2023 coup, the soldiers engaged loyalist forces in sustained gunfire overnight from Friday till late Saturday. Most of the clashes took place at Niamey's main airport that houses the military air base and in a district where the presidential palace is located.

The unrest culminated in the arrest or killing of dozens of soldiers, some of whom were paraded in front of the cameras live on state television. The fate of the mutineers was not immediately clear, and authorities did not disclose any charges against them.

On Sunday, military trucks and check points were seen across the city, particularly along major roads between the airport and the presidential district. Junta leader Abdourahamane Tchiani was yet to make any public comments or appearance.

Nigeriens were awoken around midnight on Friday into Saturday by bursts of gunfire and explosions that started at the Diori Hamani International Airport. The airport is a strategic hub that hosts a key military air base, known as Base 101, as well as the headquarters of Russia's Africa Corps in the country. It was the third time this year the airport has experienced unrest. Gunshots were also heard near the presidential palace in the Plateau district of Niamey as a group of soldiers confronted forces loyal to the junta.

Niger's Defense Ministry said its forces were gradually regaining control of the situation after a group of soldiers took their “comrades” hostage at the air base and fired at “sensitive” sites, without specifying cause of the unrest.

The chaos persisted for hours late into Saturday as the presidential guard and other loyalist forces secured the air base and the presidency, analysts and diplomats said.

Some of the mutineers came from hot spots in the south and west, among the areas worst-hit by jihadi violence, and were rallying support from others stationed outside the city, according to one European diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to speak publicly about the matter.

The unrest appeared to have been triggered by grievances over rising insecurity, including rampant jihadi attacks that have led to the mass killing of soldiers in the last year.

The mutiny was led by soldiers mostly deployed on the ground against the jihadis, according to Wassim Nasr, a senior research fellow at the Soufan Center, a New York-based think tank.

Russia-Ukraine war: The death toll from a Russian strike on a warehouse west of Kyiv, the war's deadliest attack this year, rose to 38 with four people still missing, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday.

The Friday night strike on the warehouse, which Ukrainian officials said was storing ammunition, sparked massive explosions and fires that swept through dozens of nearby homes and buildings in the village of Myla.

The attack came as Russia has sharply intensified its air campaign recently in the 4 $^{1/2}$ -year-old war, with air raid sirens wailing repeatedly and explosions and the rumble of air defenses resounding across Kyiv throughout the day. Emergency workers continued to extinguish fires and identify and neutralize explosives at the site, Zelenskyy said on social media. At least 52 people were injured, said Tymur Tkachenko, who heads the local regional military administration.

Officer dies in gunfight: A South Carolina police officer died and a second was injured in a gunfight Saturday in a park following a call about a domestic dispute, the police chief in Columbia said.

The suspect, a 33-year-old man with a lengthy criminal record, also died, Chief W.H. "Skip" Holbrook said at a news conference in the capital city.

The deceased officer, 29-year-old Christopher DeLong, had been with the police department for two years and leaves behind a wife and two young children, Holbrook said.

After a Saturday night news conference, Holbrook and other law enforcement officials joined in a procession from the hospital. The second officer, David Dymock, was in stable condition, the chief said.

The suspect was Adam Tyler Dowdy, a man with a history of arrests across at least four states who had faced charges including disorderly conduct, contempt of court, public intoxication, possession of a controlled substance and probation violations, the chief said.

Holbrook, who did not take questions at the news conference, said the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division would investigate the shooting. A spokesperson for that agency said in an email that the investigation was ongoing.

Shooting death at Swiss rave: A shooting at a rave in the northern Swiss canton of Aargau left one person dead and five injured early Sunday, local police and media reported. Police said they are still looking for potentially more than one suspect.

Aargau cantonal police wrote earlier on X that a 22-year-old woman died of injuries at the scene. Four men and one woman, between 24 and 27 years old, were taken to the hospital with injuries ranging from minor to severe.

Earlier on Sunday at a news briefing, Aargau police said all its forces were involved in finding the suspect or suspects.

"The manhunt is continuing nonstop at full speed," police spokesperson Bernhard Graser told reporters.

He said police had no information yet about possible motives. Asked whether a terrorist attack was a possibility, Graser said that “the fact that the rave was already winding down suggests that’s not the case. A fight could also be a possibility.”

Iceland rejects joining EU: Iceland's voters rejected restarting negotiations to join the European Union in a referendum that pitted concerns about geopolitical stability against keeping national control of Iceland's prized fisheries, officials said Sunday.

Opponents defeated the measure by a margin of 52.8% to 47.2%, the National Electoral Commission said. The result puts the divisive issue to rest for now — more than a decade after a euroskeptic government ended EU talks that had begun after the 2008 financial crisis.

The vote Saturday was held in the shadow of repeated threats by President Donald Trump to take control of nearby Greenland. Although Iceland is a NATO member, supporters said European solidarity would provide greater protection if Trump ever made similar threats toward the island.

Iceland's left-leaning coalition government, elected in 2024, moved up the EU referendum it had planned for next year after Trump mistakenly named Iceland four times while speaking about his designs on Greenland.

Bill Nye, laughter and an experiment in democracy

Obama Center hosts ‘Forum Talk’ featuring science educators, science comedian

By Christopher Borrelli CHICAGO TRIBUNE

This is a strange story, but let's all approach it with an open mind, OK? OK. Because sometimes things just don't go the way you think they're going to go. Sometimes, for instance, you get cornered at a party, or at a dinner with some people you kind of know, and you're stuck in a conversation with those people, who are smart and they say witty things, but slowly you realize everyone is saying diverging smart things and it's hard following what anyone is talking about and trying to say, and you're not the only one who feels that way — the people saying those things are clearly thinking the same thing.

Know what I mean?

At last you step away and ask:

What was that about?

Friday night I went to a “Forum Talk” at the Obama Presidential Center, which is planned to be a free ongoing conversation series in its sumptuous Elie Wiesel Auditorium. Seemed like a good thing to attend, what with fall coming, the season of folks on stage across Chicago talking and talking. If you’ve ever been to a panel discussion, you know: They get easily sidetracked, by an aimless audience question that’s a manifesto, not a question at all; by someone with a bone to pick on an unrelated topic; by someone with nothing to say. Insight on demand is tougher than it sounds.

The panel was titled “Learning Democracy Through Laughter,” and it’s a promising idea: “What can comedy teach us about democracy?”

asked the online description. And the participants were well chosen: Bill Nye “the Science Guy”; Sophie Shrand, host of the education series “Science with Sophie” and self-described science comedian; and lastly, Keegan-Michael Key, Second City alum and half of “Key & Peele,” on which he famously played Luther, Barack Obama’s fiery “anger translator.” Lynn Ahrens, who wrote many of the American history shorts for “Schoolhouse Rock” (as well as the stage musicals “Ragtime” and “Seussical”) delivered a (video) introduction. Plus, as Tina Tchen, the moderator and executive director of programs for the Obama Foundation, pointed out, Aug. 28 was the 12th anniversary of that infamous day Obama wore a tan suit.

Comedy!

Problem is, Key's flight was canceled because of a storm (he sent a video apology), and so the balance was blown and the focus became two TV science hosts who are kinda funny, attempting to get on a handle on what the discussion was supposed to be about.

Why even write about this?

Because we've all been there, even if it wasn't in front of an audience, struggling for footing.

"Modeling yourself failing," not a bad thing to do, Shrand offered.

"I've put in the hours on that," Nye agreed.

"But when we fail, that's how we learn things," Shrand said. "If everything went right all of the time, we wouldn't learn anything, and also

REVIEW 'BUDDY: THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY' ★★★

A lively if uber-familiar show at Drury Lane Theatre

Joey Chelius in "Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story" at Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace. KYLE FLUBACKER

By Chris Jones CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Truth be told, it was strange on Wednesday to be at a show that depicts the life and death of a great American music star not named Dolly Parton.

But whereas the iconic country music queen, who I truly loved, had a long and profoundly consequential eight decades on this Earth, Buddy Holly died in a 1959 plane crash at the age of 22. I've reviewed Alan Janes' "Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story" more times than I care to remember, and every time the show's narrator, Hipockets Duncan, mentions Holly's age, the audience that has just been rocking out to "Peggy Sue," "Oh Boy" and "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" lets out a collective gasp.

People forget.

I'm not a fan of the current trend of Chicago's suburban musical theaters doing the same programming in close proximity to their peers.

In the case of this 1989 show, for example, Marriott Theatre produced this perennial just two seasons ago. Some argue that the theaters have distinct audiences and the number of easy-sell shows finite, which is a fair point, but the ecosystem is better served by a more adventurous

programming philosophy than this show that is now much older than the pop star whose work it celebrates. Our distinguished community of musical-theater actors deserves greater challenges and if theaters don't train audiences to take a risk on newer material, its embrace will be yet harder in generations to come.

For sure, “Buddy” packs in about 20 of Holly’s hits, a remarkable number not just in terms of this lightly dramatic revue but in terms of how much Holly was able to record before his prodigious career ended.

IF YOU GO When: Through Oct. 18 Where: Drury Lane Theatre, 100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace Running time: 2 hours, 10 minutes Tickets: \$85-\$150 at 630-539-0111 and drurylanetheatre.com

This is a less sophisticated production from director Matthew D. Carney than the recent Marriott staging, at least in terms of the physicality of the show, which has a very simple unit set (summer budgets, perhaps) and doesn't make much attempt to credibly render either the recording studio where Holly and the Crickets made their hits or the Apollo Theater, where the shows depicts them as winning over a skeptical Black audience at the legendary venue.

But that doesn't much matter at this juncture with this uber-familiar show. It's really all about the talent, and Joey Chelius, although hardly as nerdy as the titular character, certainly knows how to bang out Holly's hits. Better yet, he can whip up the audience, which he did to great effect in the extended curtain call.

Although originally written for a cast of more than 20, this show now can be put on with as few as seven actor-musicians, which is the case here, although that feels on the cheap side to me. Some performers, such as Samantha Sayah, play so many characters I don't know how they keep them all straight. But with the help of choreography from Kenny Ingram, there are fun turns from Eric A. Lewis and Marta Bady to enjoy in the Apollo sequence; Bady genuinely livens everything up as soon as she shows up on the stage.

So, folks, another "Buddy." You gotta want to spend time with those songs, but this cast will make sure you have fun if you do.

Knight pulls back from performing

FROM NEWS SERVICES

Gladys Knight, 82, says she's pulling back from performing while "transitioning" to the next stage of her life.

The “Midnight Train to Georgia” singer’s announcement comes amid concerns from fans about Knight’s appearance.

"After much soul searching I've decided that I will be easing into fewer performances while focusing on transitioning into the next stage of my career and life moving forward," she posted on her social media accounts.

Knight added that she's “looking forward to this new era,” which will include spending more time on unspecified projects with her husband, William McDowell, and visiting their grandchildren.

TMZ reported that fans had grown “deeply concerned” that Knight appeared out of sorts during recent shows. The statement posted by Knight on Thursday mentions nothing of her health.

"I'd like to take a moment, in advance, to thank all my fans over this last three quarters of a century for making a little girl's dream come true and supporting her every step of the way," she continued.

The seven-time Grammy winner found her voice singing in her Atlanta church's choir as a child. She achieved pop success with her bandmates, the Pips, who performed alongside Knight for nearly 40 years. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.

Her recent message to fans indicates Knight isn't calling it quits.

"I hope to see your smiling faces out and about and on the road," she concluded. "God bless all of you and hope to see you soon."

Strahan welcomes baby girl: "Good Morning America" co-anchor Michael Strahan has reportedly become a father again, welcoming a daughter with longtime girlfriend Kayla Quick.

The two have been dating since 2015 and recent reports indicated they'd drifted apart. Now sources tell TMZ that the two became parents earlier this year. The former NFL star has four adult children: a son and daughter with first wife Wanda Hutchins, and twin daughters with ex Jean Muggli.

Quick, 37, and Strahan, 54, are notoriously private about their relationship and have never revealed how they met. But Quick has

been on hand for Strahan's milestone moments in recent years.

Actor Monroe dies: Samuel Monroe Jr. — the actor best known for appearing in '90s cult classic films including "Menace II Society," "Tales from the Hood" and "The Players Club" — has died after more than a year of battling a meningitis infection. He was 52.

Monroe died Wednesday at a California hospital, his wife, Shawna Stewart, confirmed in a Facebook post. The actor had been on life support since April.

Monroe made his acting debut in 1993, opposite Patti LaBelle on the hit TV series “Out All Night.” The same year, he splashed onto the big screen, portraying Ilena’s cousin in “Menace II Society.” He also acted in the films “What Goes Around Comes Around,” “Set It Off” and “Packz.”

Aug. 31 birthdays: Singer Van Morrison is 81. Violinist Itzhak Perlman is 81. Guitarist Rudolf Schenker is 78. Actor Richard Gere is 77. Drummer Gina Schock is 69. Singer Tony DeFranco is 67. Actor Jaime P. Gomez is 61. Singer Deborah Gibson is 56. Actor Chris Tucker is 54. Actor Sara Ramirez is 51. Singer Tamara Powell is 49.

Conversing with relatives leaves hosts feeling exhausted, ignored

R. Eric Thomas ASKING ERIC

Dear Eric: We recently hosted a relative and his wife for a few days. They are longtime friends, and their children are our children's contemporaries.

During their visit, the wife talked incessantly, sharing stories about their family members in great detail. In our efforts to reciprocate with some updates about our family, the wife would interject within a sentence or two of our contribution to hijack the conversation back to talking about her family.

These folks are good-natured and well-intentioned, but don't seem to have a clue as to how their conduct left us exhausted and feeling ignored. There was absolutely no interest or curiosity in what we might be doing, thinking or experiencing.

We welcome your advice as to how or whether to say something or just let it go and limit future contacts. — So Disappointed

Dear Disappointed: Try to split the difference. A conversation about what went wrong may not get you far, since none of you can go back and redo the visit. But you don't have to just let it or the friendship go or limit your time with them, if you don't really want to.

The next time they want to visit, suggest a different way of interacting. You can even mention that the last time they came, you got a lot of great updates about their family and lives, but that you'd love to be able to share back-and-forth more.

This problem may be an issue of the relatives being overeager or proud or not having conversational skills that align well with yours. It may be useful, then, to set yourselves up for success with talking prompts, like a get-to-know you card game, or even a more structured conversation during which you agree that each person will get to speak in turn.

It's also fine to say, in the midst of conversation, "I'm getting information overload. Can we pause for a second?"

Dear Eric: Donation etiquette triggered a pet peeve of mine, and perhaps you have a solution. My wife and I make it a habit to do the bulk of our donations in December as I'm sure others do.

We give a nice donation to a dozen or more what I call “mail-in charities” that solicit us by mail. The problem is for the next year, on a daily basis, I am dealing with a full mailbox of these same organizations asking for more money. I’m sure some are spending more than we gave in December.

How do I give once a year and stop the never-ending request for more? If nothing else, it helps the post office.

Don't Ask

Dear Ask: A simple solution may be to make a one-time call to these so-called “mail-in charities.”

Request that you be connected to their donations office, noting that you're a current donor. Once connected, explain that you are happy to continue giving but that you need to be removed from their mailing list.

You may want to ask how soon you can expect the change to go into effect and if they share their list with any other charities. It's possible that your name may have ended up on other organizations' solicitation lists and so you might have to call them, too. Ask if you can expect the change to be permanent or if you'll need to call every year.

Ideally, these organizations use a donor management system that has an easy “do not mail” function, and they can quickly comply. This isn’t an unusual request; they have to go through the same process when a donor moves or passes away.

But they'll surely be grateful to know that you still intend to contribute.

Dear Eric: I had similar concerns as Ready to Lock the Door, who was inundated with houseguests and feeling overwhelmed.

Knowing hotel costs are a major issue, my husband and I offer our home and kitchen so out-of-town friends are free to buy groceries and make their own meals. We offer a list of things to do and then arrange for one day to join them with the understanding that the rest of the time we will be doing our own thing.

They are welcome to the house as if it was their own, but I will not be cooking or entertaining them. We usually offer the use of one of our cars, so they are free to go wherever they wish without having to rent one.

It's all about how it is presented. This offer has been graciously accepted every time.

Happy Host

Dear Host: This is very conscientious. Communicating about what you can and can't offer surely saves a lot of headaches.

And out-of-towners likely appreciate the tips and suggestions from someone in the know.

it would make for really boring television."

Which reminded Nye: "So there are a lot of versions of this — I'm so old — you have a paint-thinner can, turpentine can, you boil a little bit of water in it, take it off the burner, close it up, put it in ice water — the can is crushed like a giant's fist. Because the water vapor ..." And so forth. But in Seattle, he once found an oil drum: "A freaking oil drum! A big shipyard there, you buy a reconditioned oil drum, they claim there's nothing flammable in it, boil your water — you know that turkey thing in hot oil on Thanksgiving? OK, take the thing off and it's hot and put the bung in the bung-hole — real word, wine merchants know — and do it with the bung wrench, then I thought it would be so great to spray it with a fire extinguisher and then, WA-WOSSHH! But you know what? Nothing freaking happened, and that was on live television. Sucks. But I figured it out. Next time I did it with a kiddie pool, ice water, you seal it, stay back..."

“Don’t try this at home,” Tchen said.

“No! Try this at home!” Nye said. “Do dangerous stuff! But be careful!”

Again, this in front of a packed house, two-thirds of the audience school teachers.

The Obama Center, about two months after opening, is developing a rhythm, a hum. Lines at the bronze Michelle and Barack Obama welcoming statue. Independent T-shirt vendors and BBQ pit masters across the street. Old friends talking over coffee in the courtyard. Programming, though, is still trickling in; I'm told it'll get robust in the fall, that staff has a million ideas but nothing ready to be announced. May I suggest starting with a panel titled "Learning Democracy Through Laughter"? Ask, is there a pro-government comedy? A line between

satire and protest? Obama himself once slayed at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, mocking Donald Trump's birth certificate claims, with a visibly embarrassed Trump present — is there such a thing as a comedy of unintended consequences? Screen the 1999 comedy "Election" and discuss. Possibilities, endless.

Instead, some topics mentioned included lawyers, crazy people, passion, Mark Twain, infectious disease. Comedy was slipped in, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not.

Shrand: "When you laugh, your cortisol, your stress hormones, go down.

Lower adrenaline. Your feel-good hormones go up. Your dopamine, serotonin, your oxytocin goes up — the bonding chemical responsible for trust.”

Nye: "Huge fan."

He played the curmudgeon, she played the friendly foil. "The reason laughter is so useful is because of the science but also we feel it in our bodies. We have felt those moments when we're having an amazing belly laugh with friends in a living room, you're crying laughing — it's in a trusted space. The key here is this is comedy that is inclusive, and when we're laughing together. When it's laughing at somebody, this does not work."

“So you’re saying punch up, not down,” Nye said. “Bill, tell us what punching up means,” Shrand said.

"When you make fun of your boss, that's funny, because he or she is an idiot," Nye said.

“We punch up at higher status and call it satire,” she said, “we punch down and call it being a jerk. My particular type of comedy is more, what if we don’t punch at all?”

“Whoa!” Nye said, not meaning it.

Tchen, with her hands full by now, asked them to explain, at last, "OK, what's the relationship between science and democracy — and how do we use laughter to teach democracy?"

Nye pulled out his small pocket copy of the United States Constitution and read, this establishes Congress; it guarantees elections. He paused for effect. (“OK, we’re a 501c3 here,” Tchen noted.) And it also establishes a post office, he continued. And also, “Congress is to promote the progress of science ...” Say what you will about (the framers), that is some insightful insight! ... Science and the process of democracy are intimately related in that both involve change.” Eventually, thankfully, as with any awkward and meandering conversation,

Cure your ‘Grantchester’ gloom with crime-solving clergy series

By Amanda-Rae Prescott THE NEW YORK TIMES

Aasif Mandvi, from left, Katja Herbers and Mike Colter star in the New York City procedural "Evil." PARAMOUNT+

“Grantchester,” a “Masterpiece” mystery series on PBS, wrapped up recently after 11 seasons of cozy village crime-solving with a theological twist.

Beginning in 2014 with Sidney Chambers (played by James Norton, then an emerging star), the perceptive vicars of Grantchester have spent the time between Sunday sermons helping Detective Inspector Geordie Keating (Robson Green) pursue dangerous offenders in 1950s and '60s England. The series began as a direct adaptation of a series of books by James Runcie but then added new characters and storylines.

Chambers was followed by William Davenport (Tom Brittney) and then by Alphy Kotteram (Rishi Nair), who by the end of the series reunited with his biological mother and resolved his crisis of faith.

Fans bereft at the departure of “Grantchester” can perhaps find solace in Runcie’s book series, or in the fact that the crime-solving clergy genre is surprisingly robust.

Here are a few more series set at the intersection of murder and ministry and where to stream them.

'Cadfael' (1994-98): Clergyman mysteries are often period shows, but "Cadfael," set in 12th-century England, is more transportive than most. "Cadfael" originally aired on "Masterpiece Mystery!" Derek Jacobi stars as the Catholic monk Brother Cadfael, and much of the fun of the series comes from its incorporation of historical aesthetics and events. As with Canon Clement, Brother Cadfael's first case began as an accidental discovery, after King Stephen assigned him the task of burying 94 executed traitors. Among the bodies, however, is a 95th man who was murdered. And so it begins. Through Cadfael's investigations into murders, thefts and disappearances, viewers get an extensive portrait of the power struggles between the Catholic Church, wealthy landowners and the Plantagenet Royals. (BritBox)

'Evil' (2019-24): "Evil" is an outlier in the crime-solving clergy genre, ditching the typical period setting and quiet English village in favor of a modern procedural set in New York City. Mike Colter stars as David Acosta, a divinity school student who investigates possible demonic possessions and medical miracles for the Catholic Church. He works with skeptical forensic psychologist Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers) and tech analyst Ben Shakir (Aasif Mandvi), and together they determine whether faith or science can explain the actions of some of the city's most notorious criminals. Over four seasons, they pursue leads and debate motives while each deals with his or her own personal demons, literal and otherwise. "Evil" is the furthest thing from cozy. But it grapples with the roles faith, doctrine and human morality play in criminal behavior, law enforcement and modern society. (Paramount+)

'Father Brown' (2013-present): Mark Williams stars as the title character in this BBC series, the second based on G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown novels and short stories. The first, starring Kenneth More, ran in 1974 in Britain and later on PBS. Brown is a Catholic priest in the fictional village of Kembleford, which has a suspiciously high death rate and an overwhelmed constabulary. The officers allow Brown to find evidence and witnesses, administer last rites at crime scenes and persuade suspects to confess their sins and plead guilty. Brown, who also investigates missing holy relics, is assisted in his sleuthing by his parish secretary and his housekeeper. There have been 13 seasons of the series, with another coming in 2027. (BritBox)

‘Murder Before Evensong’ (2025-present): “Murder Before Evensong” is centered on Canon Clement (Matthew Lewis), an Anglican canon in the fictional village of Champton St. Mary. He never intended to solve mysteries, but the discovery of a body buried beneath the church inspires him to investigate, which in turn inspires his parishioners to reveal long hidden secrets and other crimes. “Murder Before Evensong” is set in 1988, and while Champton St. Mary is on the surface a cozy place, it also contends with social issues of the time.

If August 31 is your birthday: Your mind could be your superpower for September, use it! The remainder of 2026 is likely to be easier and flowing with more opportunity than the first portion of the year.

Atres (March 21-April 19): Vet an idea carefully before you adopt it as your own and wait at least a week to begin to implement it, today through Sept. 7 aren't helpful days for any kind of new beginning. Take one step at a time. Taurus (April 20-May 20): It's fine to process and learn from social encounters after the fact but don't let sinking stars pull you into negative and intrusive thought-loops. Just learn. Gemini (May 21-June 20): When your base is strong, you're a lot harder to tip over. Invest in strengthening yourself on a root level — health, sleep, food, movement, family, community, land. Cancer (June 21-July 22): This could be a challenging week in career — your sector for dealing with the world is complicated and Universal stars sink and stay low through the weekend. Walk on eggshells if you need to.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): At least some of the intel coming at you could be less than accurate for a week or so — do increased due diligence before you take anything on and wait for an above-zero day for greatly improved odds.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Financial changes, investments, signatures, etc., are not advisable now through later September; the first part of the month is too spotty and too off to bring helpful odds. Focus on yourself.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The master is built in silence, so is the empire. Focus on building from your deepest roots up toward your highest aspirations.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do what you can to get through what's before you. Think strategically, stay on point, and avoid getting lost in the weeds.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Risks are greater when day scores go negative as they do tomorrow and then remain underwater for days.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It might be better to avoid engaging with drama at home than to try for any resolution now — while the hard conversations are the most important ones to have, negative stars don't support positive outcomes. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If your idea is truly stellar, don't set it free until better stars support a worthy result. Much of early September is weak, later in the month there could be traction for a significant launch.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The temptation could be great to make a financial move of some kind but sinking Universal stars won't support the outcome you want.

Here are the answers to the weekly quiz:

Q.1—Neither vulnerable, as South, you hold:

South	West	North	East
1♣	Pass	1♦	Pass

What call would you make?

A.1—Those hearts are ugly, especially compared to the spades, but partner could have four cards in either major and we don't want to miss our fit — if we have one. Bid 1H.

Q.2—North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold:

West	North	East	South
1♦	2♣	Pass	?

What call would you make?

A.2—We have an excellent club fit, but our best game might still be in spades. Give partner one chance to support spades before raising clubs. Bid 2S.

Q.3—North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold:

North	East	South	West
1NT	3♣	?

What call would you make?

A.3—We would have bid 3NT had East passed. The only cause for concern after the overcall is whether we have a club stopper. We have one! Bid 3NT.

East	South	West	North
1NT	Dbl	2♦	2♥
Bos	3

Grand Avenue By Mike Thompson

What call would you make?

A.4—Despite the opponents' busy auction, partner must have some values for his free 2H bid. We have more than we might have had for our double and excellent heart support. A raise to 3H doesn't do this hand justice. Bid 4H.

Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon watches from the sideline as teammates warm up for a preseason game against the Browns on Aug. 15 at Soldier Field. JOHN J. KIM/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Questions remain

SEASON OPENER

Bears get roster down to 53 players, but what is the delay with Gordon?

Brad Biggs ON THE BEARS

The star power in the 2025 draft class and the anticipation for 2024 No. 1 pick Caleb Williams' second season under coach Ben Johnson are why the Bears are one of the teams to watch in the NFL this year.

That will carry the Bears into Week 1 with promise and confidence. Sunday, however, brought a reminder of how challenging it can be to fit players drafted for a previous coaching staff and schemes into an evolving program.

Former second-round pick Gervon Dexter Sr. was traded to the Atlanta Falcons for cornerback Clark Phillips III and a fifth-round pick. Former third-round pick Kiran Amegadjie was waived after appearing in six games with one start over the last two seasons.

Only seven of the 21 draft picks from the 2022 and 2023 classes remain with the Bears. Three are projected starters: Darnell Wright, the highest-paid right tackle in the league; cornerback Tyrique Stevenson; and left tackle Braxton Jones, who could be holding down the spot until Ozzy Trapilo, a second-round pick a year ago, is ready to go.

The Bears got down to the 53-man limit after making some tough decisions, including waiving cornerback Terell Smith, a

fifth-round pick in 2023. Two of those seven holdovers from general manager Ryan Poles' first two draft classes will begin the season on the reserve/physically unable to perform list: nickel cornerback Kyler Gordon (calf) and linebacker Noah Sewell (Achilles tendon).

"This one is going to be really tough," Poles said Saturday night during the WMVP-AM 1000

Sox bats shut down in series finale loss

White Sox shortstop Colson Montgomery makes a throw at second base after forcing out Luke Keaschall of the Twins on a fielder's choice in the first inning at Target Field Sunday in Minneapolis. DAVID BERDING/GETTY

By LaMond Pope CHICAGO TRIBUNE

MINNEAPOLIS – The White Sox didn't have a hit until the sixth inning in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins in front of 26,225 at Target Field.

Drew Romo became the team's first base runner with a two-out single to right field in the sixth against Twins starter Zebby Matthews. They avoided being shut out when Braden Montgomery knocked in a run with a single in the ninth. Sam Antonacci, who had two hits, scored the lone run.

The Sox had to settle for winning two of three in the series as their four-game winning streak came to an end.

Here are three takeaways from Sunday.

1. DREW ROMO ENDED A BID FOR PERFECTION.

Matthews retired the first 17 batters on Sunday.

With two outs in the sixth, Romo worked a full count. The catcher got a fastball up and hit it to right field for a single, breaking up the bid for a perfect game.

“Him throwing a perfect game didn’t change anything,” Romo said. “I just stuck to my plan and approach and worked a good at-bat and got a good pitch to hit.”

Matthews allowed one run on five hits with five strikeouts and

Interrupting celebrations for NL wild-card update

Paul Sullivan IN THE WAKE OF THE NEWS

We interrupt this regularly scheduled celebration of the Cubs' past to remind you there's an extremely tight wild-card race developing in the National League.

After Saturday's celebration of the 150th anniversary, and before Sunday's induction of Jon Lester, Jody Davis and radio voice Vince Lloyd into the team's Hall of Fame, and the rubber game against the Cincinnati Reds, the Cubs held a slim, one-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies for the top NL wild-card spot.

Catching the first-place Milwaukee Brewers seems unlikely unless the Cubs take their final two series, including a four-game set that begins Monday at Wrigley Field. An eight-game lead

Brewers at Cubs 6:40 p.m. Monday, Marquee

with 26 games left is a virtual lock for Brewers manager Pat Murphy and his wrecking crew, as even optimistic Cubs fans understand.

Perhaps it's in everyone's best interest to focus on fending off the Phillies and avoiding the potential nightmare scenario of being ousted in Citizens Bank Ballpark on a walk-off home run by Kyle Schwarber, who was not voted onto the Cubs all-time team.

The Cubs desperately need to hold onto the first wild-card spot and secure a first-round series at Wrigley Field, where they swept the Phillies in four games in April.

Manager Craig Counsell stated the obvious — the Cubs would rather play at home but know they have to win on the road to get through October.

Samuels' fake punt sparks comeback

Mount Carmel's Nathan Samuels, center, reacts after a first down against St. Joseph Regional of New Jersey during a game in Chicago on Friday. VINCENT D. JOHNSON/DAILY SOUTHTOWN

Caravan rally from 30-0 deficit in game televised by ESPN

By Patrick Z. McGavin FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

To be blunt, Mount Carmel's Nathan Samuels was embarrassed at what a national TV audience was getting to see. And then the senior running back went out and did something about it.

The host Caravan had already allowed two touchdowns on special teams and a safety during a showdown game being broadcast by ESPN. That was before Samuels took off on a fake punt.

"The sideline was down, the whole country's watching us and the coaches just talked about playing through adversity," he said. "After that run, you could feel the momentum change.

"And we just started running with it."

Samuels came through Friday night with a 47-yard run on that fake punt as Mount Carmel erased a 30-0 deficit in Chicago for a stunning 48-44 win over St. Joseph Regional of New Jersey.

Senior quarterback Brady Cloherty threw a whopping seven TD passes after the Caravan (1-1) faced a 30-point hole in the second quarter. He completed 26 of 41 passes for 309 yards.

One play after the fake punt on fourth-and-9, Cloherty connected on a 27-yard TD pass with junior receiver Marshaun Thornton, who finished with two TD catches as Mount Carmel outscored St. Joseph 48-14 over a 29-minute stretch.

“That 47-yard run changed everything and brought us the momentum we needed,” Cloherty said. “Nate is a great player who can really do everything. He’s athletic but also a very tough player.

"He can catch the ball and make big plays also running with the ball."

Michigan-bound senior receiver Quentin Burrell caught a 35-yarder, his third TD pass, with 5:03 left for the winning score. Samuels added 102 yards on 12 carries and 45 yards on two catches.

The Samuels' run, however, was the spark that lit the fuse after the Caravan was denied on a fourth-and-short situation on its opening possession.

“We’ve always been aggressive about going for it on fourth down,” Mount Carmel coach Jordan Lynch said. “Nate made the play, got free and it opened up much after that.

"He's a playmaker, and he got

everything moving after that."

Samuels, a Lindenwood recruit who also had a massive 29-yard run late in the fourth quarter, scored 10 TDs and led the Caravan in rushing last season with 719 yards.

"I'm a very versatile back," Samuels said. "The coaches know that. I thought it was great to be able to use the fake punt. It was the first time I could really show what I was capable of."

He credits his love and dedication to his craft to the memory of his maternal grandfather, who introduced an awkward, overweight kid to football at 5 years old. That changed everything.

"He forced me on the field when I was younger and that turned out just to be amazing," Samuels said. "He passed in 2019, when I was in fifth grade. I thank him dearly for that every day.

Samuels' father was a four-sport athlete in high school, while an uncle played running back at Eastern Illinois. Samuels is also a sprinter in track. He has an electric burst getting to the edge.

"My freshman year is when everything started to click for me," Samuels said. "I had a big game last year against Brother Rice. Everything has moved forward since that."

His older brother, Ethan, is a freshman guard at Wabash Valley, a high-profile junior college basketball program.

"I'm a really outgoing guy, and having battles with my brother was a big part of my personal development," Nathan said. "He really helped me out of my shell."

Samuels confirmed that this night ended up as a story he will never forget.

“We’ve obviously won state championships every year I’ve been here, but this is right up there with my greatest experiences ever,” he said. “I know I didn’t get in the end zone, but it was great to help my teammates out in every way possible.”

experience," he said of home games in October at Wrigley Field.

The newer Cubs — anyone not named Ian Happ or Nico Hoerner — learned last October in their wildcard series win over the San Diego Padres. Some fans believed the atmosphere was as intense as 2016, which I argued would only be possible in a World Series setting. Barring a noise-o-meter, we can only guess.

But this season has been even more electric with Pete Crow-Armstrong's dramatics, and October figures to be dialed up to 11 at Wrigley.

Getting in is the priority, and despite a five-game lead over the last wild-card spot, it's still not a given. Most assumed the 2023 Cubs would hang onto their wild-card spot in early September before an end-of-season collapse. The late-inning leverage guys manager David Ross had at his disposal — Julian Merryweather, Mark Leiter Jr. and closer Adbert Alzolay — all succumbed to injuries, tired arms or lack of experience in pressurized roles.

It didn't work out well for those three, or for Ross, who was fired after the season and replaced by Counsell.

Heading into September, Counsell's late-inning options include de facto closer Jacob Webb, returning closer Daniel Palencia and a mystery man that could depend on Edward Cabrera's health and effectiveness.

President Jed Hoyer reassembled his bullpen in the offseason and made multiple moves through the first four months due to a series of pitching injuries. The Cubs somehow survived and remain a real threat to get to the World Series — and win — if things go right.

The would-be leverage guys entering spring training were Palencia, Phil Maton, Caleb Thielbar, Hoby Milner and Hunter Harvey. But injuries and ineffectiveness spoiled that plan, and Plan B as well, leading to the trade deadline acquisition of Ryan Zeferjahn, who has struggled with a 5.49 ERA in 10 outings.

So the Cubs are already onto Plan C, hoping to avoid going to Plan D.

While Ben Brown's return has not been ruled out, Counsell said Saturday that the reality of the baseball calendar suggests the Cubs can't count on his neck injury allowing him to pitch. Cabrera, the veteran starter acquired from the Miami Marlins, is scheduled for a rehab outing at Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday after a blister forced him to the IL. He should be available for the Cubs' bullpen after three or so appearances.

Counsell's "out-getter" mantra is relevant here since the rotation appears set, and it excludes their biggest offseason acquisition. Cabrera has allowed 15 home runs in 76 innings as a starter, and readily accepted a new role in a playoff race.

If Brown can't return and Cabrera doesn't succeed in a leverage role, Counsell's other viable options to join Palencia and Webb are Zeferjahn, Ryan Rolison and Trent Thornton, who imploded in Friday's loss.

Webb, Rolison and Thornton helped keep the 'pen in working order this summer, and Counsell's continued faith in them is what you would expect. It's why players like playing for him.

But the current level of stress is basically uncharted territory for all the Cubs' late-inning relievers, except Palencia, the closer-in-waiting again. Palencia had five scoreless outings in last year's postseason, but also gave up a three-run home run to Brewers' outfielder Jackson Chourio in the Cubs' 7-3 loss in Game 2 of the NL Division Series. He's also thrown only $19 \frac{1}{2}$ innings in an injury-plagued season, and Counsell is proceeding cautiously.

Javier Assad is back on the Iowa-go-round, shuffling between the Cubs and Triple A because he has options. Webb assumed the de facto closer's role in July and ran with it, putting together a 24-game scoreless streak until giving up back-to-back walk-off home runs last week in Seattle and Arizona.

So, any bullpen concerns, Craig? Counsell replied that the “same guys are going to be out there” after poor outings.

“That’s how a bullpen works,” he said Saturday. “You have a rough outing, you’ve got to come out and do it the next day. You’re going to get beat some days. But they are our guys, and we need them to pitch well and they’re going to pitch well by being out there.”

The Cubs' pen entered Sunday with 29 saves and 22 blown saves, while ranking 24th with a strikeout rate of 7.92 Ks per 9 innings. They rely on the team's elite defenders, but too often serve up the long ball. Cubs relievers have already given up 77 home runs, or two more than last year with a month left.

Cubs starters have also allowed an average of 1.60 home runs per 9 innings, third-worst behind the Athletics, who play in a minor-league park, and the Colorado Rockies, who play at the high elevation of Coors Field. The worst offender, Jameson Taillon, is gone, but Shota Imanaga's 30 home runs allowed is second-highest to the Phillies' Aaron Nola.

A potential wild-card rotation is anyone's guess after Clay Holmes and Matthew Boyd. If it's against the Phillies, with left-handed sluggers Schwarber and Bryce Harper, maybe the left-handed Imanaga would have the edge over Kevin Gausman. But Gausman has a 5.14 ERA in five Cubs starts, including Saturday's five-inning stint in a 17-5 win over the Reds. He wasn't acquired to sit out the start of the postseason, even if Imanaga has been more consistent with a 2.65 ERA since the All-Star break. Meanwhile, lefty David Peterson's 2.41 ERA since the break (including one relief outing) suggests he deserves consideration, especially against the Phils.

"At the end of the day, you get to the playoffs and you're probably going to have two-three starters and there's going to be guys that go to the bullpen anyways," Peterson said. "I'm glad I have that experience and can lean on that (if it happens)."

Plans can change between now and the playoffs.

And if this unpredictable season is any indication, they assuredly will.

SOX

no walks in 8 $^{1/3}$ innings.

"He pitched really well," Sox manager Will Venable said. "Obviously attacked the zone really well, no walks. I thought, for our group, offensively, we swung the bats better than the box score's going to show.

"I thought we had a lot of hard contact there early, right at guys. They made good defensive plays. I don't want to take anything away from Matthews. He did a great job, obviously, gave them the chance to win that game, and we just couldn't solve for what he was throwing at us."

Right fielder Luke Keaschall aided Matthews with a diving catch in the second inning to rob Andrew Benintendi of an extra-base hit.

Center fielder Walker Jenkins made a nice running catch to track down a long fly ball hit by Benintendi in the fifth.

Matthews helped his own cause in the sixth when he got to a grounder hit by Tristan Peters and tossed the ball to first just in time for the first out of the inning.

Brenton Doyle lined out to third. But then Romo came through for the Sox with his single.

“We’re aware of (the perfect game),” Romo said. “But we just stick to our plan. We were hitting the ball hard, making good, hard contact. And we were just getting unlucky hitting it right at people. So we just kept on doing what we were doing.”

2. THE SOX WERE HURT BY TWO-OUT DAMAGE.

The Sox were “just an inch here or there” from a scoreless first inning. Instead, the Twins scored three runs and never looked back.

Following a leadoff walk, opener Jordan Hicks fielded a comebacker to the mound. But the Sox were only able to get the force at second. After a strikeout, Hicks walked another batter. Then Josh Bell drove in a run with a single just out of the reach of the second baseman Antonacci.

Trevor Larnach followed with a two-run double against reliever Tyler Gilbert.

“Kind of just an inch here or there, that you’re going to make a play, but it didn’t happen,” Venable said. “And credit to them, they put the ball in play, put the ball in play hard, and were able to score.”

All five of the Twins' runs on Sunday were scored with two outs.

Ryan Jeffers doubled with two outs in the third against Gilbert and scored on a single by Bell, stretching Minnesota's lead to 4-0.

Keaschall homered with two outs in the seventh. That was the only run allowed over five innings by bulk pitcher José Urquidy. The right-hander surrendered three hits, struck out three and had no walks. It was a nice bounce back for Urquidy, who allowed five runs while walking four in three innings on Aug. 24 against the Texas Rangers.

"I was just focused to throw strikes at the beginning and I did," Urquidy said. "It was the difference from the last outing to today."

3. THE SOX MADE PROGRESS OVER THE WEEKEND IN THE DIVISION RACE.

The first-place Sox entered the weekend with a 2 ½ lead in the American League Central. They left Minneapolis with a 3 ½ game lead over the second-place Cleveland Guardians, who defeated the Kansas City Royals 11-1 on Sunday.

The third-place Twins are $7\frac{1}{2}$ games back.

“You come here to win a series, and we won a series,” Venable said. “Obviously, today was very disappointing, just not being able to get the offense going. Tough first inning for us on the mound and on defense.

“But we won the series, so we’ll move on. Obviously, a big one coming up here against (AL West-leading) Houston, so good series for us, tough day today. We’ll move on and be ready for (Monday).”

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The 37 players on the 90-man training camp roster who didn't make the initial 53 included some recognizable names and participants in high-profile camp battles: ■ Kaden Davis and veteran Scotty Miller had strong camps — and Davis arguably was this year's Cinderella and a fan favorite — but neither wide receiver made the cut. ■ D. R. A. S. A. A.

- Running back Salvon Ahmed made a similar case based on some highlight runs and receptions, but it wasn't enough to overcome Roschon Johnson's value as a pass protector and special teams ace.

IR: RB Brittain Brown, WR Ray-Ray McCloud III, TE Nikola Kalinic, DE Jonathan Garvin, LB Tony Fields II, LB Nephi Sewell, CB Jaylon Jones, CB Dallis Flowers

The Bears cut two of the four players competing for the left tackle job as they trimmed the roster to the 53-player limit by Sunday's 5 p.m. deadline.

Kiran Amegadjie, a Hinsdale native and third-round draft pick in 2024, was waived, and the Bears released veteran Jedrick Wills Jr. with an injury settlement. That likely cements Braxton Jones as the starter and Theo Benedet as the swing tackle to open the season.

Ozzy Trapilo also is on the 53-man roster as he continues to rehabilitate from a torn patellar tendon suffered in January.

PUP: DE Shemar Turner, LB Noah Sewell, CB Kyler Gordon * Large and Bryant are expected to be placed on IR

■ Veteran defensive linemen Marcus Davenport and James Lynch and homegrown veteran linebackers Jack Sanborn (Lake Zurich) and Jon Rhattigan (Naperville) were released.

In addition to Amegadjie, the Bears waived recent draft picks in cornerback Terell Smith (2023 fifth round) and linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II (2025 fourth round), the latter with an injury designation.

RB (3): D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai, Roschon Johnson

Several of the players cut Sunday, including Amegadjie and Smith, could be added to the 16-man practice squad if they clear waivers Monday. Hyppolite could revert to injured reserve or reach a payout.

The Bears also will have two spots open on the 53 when they place safety Coby Bryant and tight end Hayden Large on injured reserve. Lynch is a candidate for one of those spots, and the Bears probably need to add another linebacker with only four on the initial 53, including rookie Keyshaun Elliott.

BEARS INITIAL 53-MAN ROSTER

ST (3): K Cairo Santos, P Tory Taylor, LS Beau Gardner

QB (3): Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent, Case Keenum

Elliott didn't make his first appearance in camp until Wednesday after being activated off the physically unable to perform list, and he didn't play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans. But the Bears have him penciled in as a special teams contributor, and coordinator Richard Hightower said the fifth-round pick “hasn’t missed a beat in the meeting room” during his absence.

Four players were placed on IR on Sunday: linebacker Tony Fields II (undisclosed), running back Brittain Brown (concussion protocol), cornerback Jaylon Jones (hamstring) and wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III (hamstring).

The latter three were injured during Saturday's game.

Coach Ben Johnson said last week that of all the position battles, he was least confident about safety. The Bears carried six, counting Bryant, on the initial roster, including undrafted rookie Skyler Thomas.

Cam Lewis appears to have the edge for now on veteran Xavier Woods to start opposite first-round draft pick Dillon Thieneman.

The Bears waived Smith after he made a late push in camp. He spent all of last season on IR after tearing the patellar tendon in his left knee during a preseason game, and he missed more than two weeks of camp with an undisclosed injury.

Smith returned for the joint practice in Cincinnati, though he didn't play in the preseason game against the Bengals. He started Saturday's preseason finale against the Titans and played 30 defensive snaps plus four on special teams with two pass breakups.

The Bears acquired cornerback Clark Phillips III on Sunday in the trade that sent defensive tackle Gervon Dexter to the Atlanta Falcons, and Phillips' arrival created a domino effect in the secondary.

The picture in the back end remains muddy, however, with nickel corner Kyler Gordon starting the season on the PUP list.

Wide receiver Jahdae Walker, last season's Cinderella, fended off challenges by Davis and Miller to secure the fifth wide receiver slot.

Johnson said last week he likes the depth at defensive tackle, and the Bears' willingness to ship Dexter to Atlanta indicates as much. They kept free-agent signees Kentavius Street and Neville Gallimore, sixth-round pick Jordan van den Berg and undrafted rookie Jayden Loving, who made a solid case in camp and backed it up Saturday with a sack, two tackles for a loss and a pass breakup.

Johnson said the Bears were being smart with veteran edge rusher Davenport, given his injury history, while ramping up his conditioning, so his release could be temporary. Defensive end Jamree Kromah, who spent the last two seasons on the Bears practice squad, opened some eyes with three sacks in the preseason and made the initial 53.

Trapilo's quick recovery a team effort

By Brad Biggs CHICAGO TRIBUNE

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Ozzy Trapilo had a wide smile on his face as he pulled his suitcase toward the exit after the Bears' preseason finale.

Trapilo didn't do a lot Saturday — more individual drill work with coaches in the end zone during a steaming hot pregame workout at Nissan Stadium. But what isn't there to smile about right now for last year's second-round pick?

He's $7 \frac{1}{2}$ months removed from a ruptured patellar tendon, an injury the Bears originally thought might wipe out his entire 2026 season. Now there's increasing confidence he'll be available for a good chunk of this season.

"There are a million people that I could shout out for it," Trapilo said when asked what the arduous road back has been like.

That was telling. He didn't steer the conversation to long days that turned into weeks and then months in the training room. He didn't talk about the lonely place where players rehabbing from injuries can find themselves. He thought of whom he should credit for being activated from the physically unable to perform list and joining parts of practice for the last two weeks.

“Probably too many to name right now,” Trapilo said. “But huge shout-out to Adam (LaVan) in the training room and Dre (Andre Tucker), the head guy in the training room. They made my job really easy. Basically show up and do what I am told when I am told. And it felt like it just kind of took off from there.”

Trapilo said they had a road map for him immediately after surgery in January, when the Bears were saying a best-case scenario might be getting him cleared late in this season. He also singled out assistant strength coach Mark Philippi as a valuable resource, as Philippi had personal experience with the same injury.

"The second I got back after surgery, the plan was in motion from nutrition all the way down to the rehab, the weight room, all of it," Trapilo said. "They told me the timeline that it normally is for the injury, and you've just got to take that with a grain of salt. Everyone is different. I knew the way I was going to attack rehab. That's what ended up happening."

What the timeline is right now isn't exact. Trapilo is being evaluated day to day and week to week. Yesterday's plan could change by tomorrow. He has yet to participate in full-team drills, which is a hurdle to clear.

The Bears are expected to be at Halas Hall from Tuesday through Thursday before a three-day weekend. Once the season starts, the team can hold a maximum of one practice in full pads per week. The number of those dwindles in the second half of the season.

"I am progressing according to them," Trapilo said. "There is a timeline for everything and they don't really tell me, which is probably a good thing. They're just kind of going through the steps of return-to-play with me."

It's a group effort, no question, and plenty of people in the building are handing out props to Trapilo himself.

“He’s been attacking this thing head on,” coach Ben Johnson said shortly before Trapilo was removed from PUP. “He’s been here pretty much all summer. I’ve gotten to see him every single day, it seems like.”

Apparently that was the plan, and Trapilo showed up.

Johnson was asked after the game Saturday for an update on the young left tackle.

“Right on track,” he said. “He’s doing individual and getting some drill work to the side there. We like where he is at.”

Thomas steals show in debut to cap preseason with win

By Phil Thompson CHICAGO TRIBUNE

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Rookie wide receiver Zavion Thomas caught a 97-yard touchdown pass from Tyson Bagent on his first play in an NFL uniform Saturday during the Bears' 24-15 victory against the Tennessee Titans in the preseason finale.

Playing in his first preseason game after missing the first two with a knee injury, Thomas saw plenty of action on offense — five catches for 140 yards — and special teams, highlighted by a 39-yard punt return that he nearly broke for another score.

"I don't know that I've thrown a touchdown of that many yards, and I think that was Zavion Thomas' very first play in the NFL — so greatest start in NFL history," Bagent said.

Added coach Ben Johnson: "It was good to see a guy like Zavion get some time and have some production from it, both in the receiving game but also as a punt returner."

Johnson said after the game that running back Brittain Brown was placed in concussion protocol and cornerback Jaylon Jones and wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III suffered hamstring injuries.

Most of the Bears starters, including quarterback Caleb Williams, watched from the sideline.

Williams got his final reps of training camp Thursday during a joint practice with the Titans, making some highlight-worthy throws but also finding himself under pressure at times from Tennessee's impressive defensive front. He finished his one preseason appearance last week in Cincinnati completing 2 of

5 passes for 28 yards.

About three hours before kickoff at Nissan Stadium, Williams tossed the ball around with Luther Burden III, Colston Loveland, D'Andre Swift and others. That was the extent of their participation Saturday.

Backup quarterback Bagent took the reins for the entire first half and displayed a little of the razzle-dazzle normally associated with Williams.

On fourth-and-goal from the Titans 2-yard line, Bagent stepped up in the pocket, then backpedaled to avoid the rush as he lofted a touchdown pass to Maurice Alexander in the back of the end zone.

With Bagent at the controls, the offense converted 4 of 5 fourth downs. He finished 16 of 17 for 208 yards and two touchdowns.

On his first score, the Bears were set up at their 3-yard line. Bagent took a snap from shotgun and quickly looked in Thomas' direction as running back Roschon Johnson picked up a blitz.

Titans cornerback Keydrain Calligan stumbled on the route and was firmly in Thomas' rearview when the rookie hauled in Bagent's pass. Safety Jerrick Reed II gave chase but could only swipe futilely at Thomas' leg on his way to the end zone.

“Felt amazing,” Thomas said. “Just the preparation put into it, it’s something that I expected.”

Thomas played into the third quarter and averaged 28 yards per reception. His speed also was on display in the return game. He had punt and kickoff returns of 39 and 22 yards, respectively.

"We're really excited for the kid," general manager Ryan Poles said of the third-round pick during an interview on WMVP-AM 1000. "He's done a great job in the spring. He had a little bit of an injury that he was working through that took him out for a little bit.

“But to see him get back playing fast and making an impact for our football team, that’s why we drafted him and brought him here and he’s doing exactly that.”

Thomas had one hiccup in the first quarter. On second-and-8 at the Titans 38, he tried to take a handoff from Bagent on a fly sweep, but the exchange was fumbled and Titans defensive end Jacob Martin recovered.

Bagent tried to take the blame, but Thomas would hear none of it.

"On me," Thomas said. "Wasn't no timing, none of that. I've just got to get the ball."

AROUND THE HORN

■ Blue Jays: Max Scherzer and two relievers combined on a one-hitter, Alejandro Kirk and Kazuma Okamoto homered and the Blue Jays thumped the Mariners 7-0 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep. The Mariners have lost four straight. Scherzer (2-7) struck out a season-high 10, moving him past Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry and into ninth place on the career strikeouts list.

■ Cardinals: The Cardinals placed rookie infielder JJ Wetherholt on the 10-day injured list Sunday with right wrist tendinitis.

T: 2:53; A: 31,035 (45,517).

■ Twins: The Twins placed outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a right hip impingement, a lingering injury that has affected the All-Star for much of the season. It's the third stint on the injured list for Buxton this season for hip issues.

■ Red Sox: The Red Sox activated Roman Anthony and Trevor Story on Sunday, giving the team a boost in the middle of the playoff race. Anthony was sidelined for 100 games by a sprained right wrist. Story missed 92 games because of a sports hernia.

■ Marlins: Otto Lopez's two run homer capped a six-run ninth inning and the Marlins rallied past the Nationals 6-2 on Sunday.

■ Yankees: Yankees rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. missed the first game of his big league career because of right knee discomfort on Sunday, a day after tweaking his knee on a check swing. Lombard is day to day and not expected to go on the injured list. The Yankees also said he is not expected to get any cortisone injections.

SUNDAY'S RESULTS

two homers. Hancock is 7-8 with a 3.57 ERA in 25 starts. ■ Orioles: Gunnar Henderson hit two homers and drove in five runs, Coby Mayo hit a three-run homer, and the Orioles scored seven unanswered runs to rally past the Athletics 8-5 on Sunday. The Orioles (68-69) improved to one game under .500 for the first time since April 30 and sits one game back of the third and final AL wild-card spot.

■Astros: Pinch-hitter LaMonte Wade Jr.'s go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning helped power the Astros to a 6-3 win over the Mets on Sunday. With the Astros trailing 3-2, Wade launched a pitch from Jonathan Pintaro (0-1) for the third pinch-hit homer of his career and his first since April 2, 2025, while with the Giants.

■ Mariners: The Mariners placed right-hander Emerson Hancock on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to August 29, because of a strained left adductor. Hancock started Friday's loss at Toronto and was shaken up in the first inning when he slid to field Nathan Lukes' grounder and reached to tag the leaping Blue Jays outfielder. Hancock stayed in the game and allowed eight hits in five innings, including ■ Rangers: Ezequiel Durán homered, doubled and drove in three runs to help the Rangers avoid a sweep by beating the Brewers 7-4 on Sunday. Joc Pederson added a solo shot as the Rangers snapped their own four-game skid and the Brewers' four-game winning streak. The Brewers' Gary Sánchez hit his 200th career homer.

■ Dodgers: Tyler Glasnow gave up two hits and one run in seven innings and Freddie Freeman scored three runs as the Dodgers beat the Tigers 6-1 on Sunday. Teoscar Hernández hit a two-run homer and scored twice for the Dodgers. The Tigers, who have scored nine runs in its last six games, has lost 12 of 15. Glasnow (4-0) allowed one walk while striking out six.

ON THIS DATE: AUGUST 31

1909: The A.J. Reach Company was granted a patent for its cork-centered baseball, which replaced the hard rubber-cored one. This change will be particularly apparent in the National League in 1910 and 1911.

1915: Jim Lavender of the Chicago Cubs pitched a 2-0 no-hitter in the first game of a doubleheader against the New York Giants.

1937: Rudy York of the Tigers hit his 17th and 18th home runs of the month to set a major league record as Detroit beat Washington 12-3.

■ Yankees: Austin Wells homered twice in a nine-run eighth inning, Heliot Ramos hit a three-run homer in the fifth and the Yankees widened their lead in the AL wild-card race and clinched the season series against the Red Sox with a 16-1 victory on Sunday.

1950: Brooklyn's Gil Hodges tied a major league record by hitting four homers against the Boston Braves in the Dodgers' 19-3 rout. Hodges also added a single for 17 total bases and drove in nine runs. Brooklyn pitcher Carl Erskine singled in the second, third, fifth and sixth innings.

1959: Sandy Koufax of Los Angeles struck out 18 Giants for a National League record as the Dodgers beat San Francisco 5-2.

1965: Boston catcher Russ Nixon tied a major-league record with three run-scoring sacrifice flies in the second game at Washington. Boston won 8-5, after taking the opener, 4-0.

1974: In a Northwest League game, Portland manager Frank Peters rotated his players so each man played a different position each inning. The strategy worked for an 8-7 win over Tri-Cities.

1990: The Griffeys: 20-year-old Ken Jr. and his dad, Ken, 40: made major league history, leading Seattle to a 5-2 victory over Kansas City. The Griffeys were the first father and son to play together in the big leagues.

1998: Cubs OF Sammy Sosa ties Mark McGwire by hitting his 55th home run in Chicago's 5 - 4 win over Cincinnati. Sosa has hit 30 of his homers at Wrigley Field, three short of Hack Wilson's Cub record and tying him with Ernie Banks.

2001: Pitcher Danny Almonte, who dominated the Little League World Series with his 70 mph fastballs, was ruled ineligible after government records experts determined he actually was 14, and that birth certificates showing he was two years younger were false. The finding nullified all the victories by his Bronx, N.Y., team, the Rolando Paulino Little League All-Stars, and wiped out all its records: including Almonte's perfect game and an earlier no-hitter.

■ Pirates: Esmerlyn Valdez and Jared Triolo homered, Brandon Lowe added an RBI single and the Pirates beat the Cardinals 5-4 on Sunday.

GOLF TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP

Scheffler rallies for FedEx Cup

By Doug Ferguson

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA — Scottie Scheffler's second FedEx Cup title, and his 22nd victory on the PGA Tour during this astonishing five-year run, was different from all the others, even if looked all too familiar. Scheffler celebrated with a beer.

He had just closed with a 4-under 66 in the Tour Championship on Sunday — no one else from the leading six players broke par — and Scheffler had to wait for the last two groups to finish to make it official.

"There was an open bar inside and I'm like, 'All right, I'm grabbing a beer.' It tasted great," Scheffler said. "I don't really drink often. My wife and manager were like, 'Wow, I haven't seen you have a beer in a long time.' Well, season's over now. I'm going to have a beer. Well-earned beer."

There was no arguing that, and there's no longer a debate over who had the best season in golf.

Scheffler took care of that at East Lake when he made up a three-shot deficit in four holes and pulled away to win the Tour Championship, claim a second FedEx Cup title and move past Tiger Woods for most PGA Tour earnings. Scheffler signaled his rally with a 5-iron to within 2 inches of the cup on the 211-yard second hole. He caught Viktor Hovland with a 25-foot birdie on the fourth hole, pulled ahead for the first time on the 13th and wound up with a three-shot victory.

It was his first time with the low 72-hole score at the Tour Championship.

When he won in 2024, he had a two-shot lead before the tournament began given to the No. 1 seed under the “starting strokes” format. He won by four shots, even though two other players had a lower actual score. That still bugs him.

"When you're coming down the stretch of a tournament and you're tied or one shot back, it's different than when you're adding it up at the end and there's starting strokes and all that stuff," Scheffler said. "I think having a real tournament to finish the year, where I am the winner and the lowest score at East Lake, feels like a bit more of an accomplishment."

Scheffler won for the third time this year — twice in the last three weeks during the PGA Tour's postseason — to match Chris Gotterup, Matt Fitzpatrick and U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark for most titles in 2026.

Players vote on the Jack Nicklaus Award for PGA Tour player of the year. Scheffler has won the last four years — another would tie him with Woods for most consecutive awards. Taking over the top spot in career earnings was inevitable. The \$40 million purse at the Tour Championship now counts as official money. Scheffler won \$10 million, pushing his career total to \$130,390,661.

Woods, who never played for more than a \$10 million purse during his peak years from 1997 through 2009, had been at the top of the career money list for nearly 26 years.

It was a small slice of redemption for Scheffler, who lost in a playoff to Hovland at the Travelers Championship, one of his five runner-up finishes this year.

Donald ends retirement to sign with the Rams

NEWS SERVICES

Aaron Donald has returned to the Rams, ending his retirement after 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ years to join Myles Garrett on their defensive line.

The Rams announced the 35-year-old Donald's decision Sunday following several weeks of discussion, preparation and intensive workouts for the star defensive lineman.

Donald agreed to a one-year contract, and ESPN reported he will make at least \$20 million in an incentive-laden deal.

Donald became one of the greatest defensive players of his era during his first 10 seasons spent entirely with the Rams in St. Louis and Los Angeles. He won three AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards while earning 10 Pro Bowl selections, eight All-Pro selections and a Super Bowl ring before he retired somewhat abruptly in March 2024.

After two seasons enjoying retirement with his family, Donald began to entertain the notion of a comeback this summer after the Rams traded for Garrett, one of Donald's few peers in contemporary defensive line play. Donald and Garrett have combined to win five of the AP's past nine Defensive Player of the Year awards, including two of the past three for Garrett with the Cleveland Browns.

■ Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been placed on the NFL's commissioner exempt list while two misdemeanor charges against him are pending, a move that prevents him from practicing or attending games. ... Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper, who's facing a felony strangulation charge, will start the season on the commissioner's exempt list. Cooper faces an arraignment Monday on several domestic violence charges following two arrests in June stemming from altercations with a woman he was dating at the time. ... Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen was arrested Sunday on drunken driving charges. ... Odell Beckham Jr. made the Giants' 53-man roster submitted Sunday. ... Titans quarterback Will Levis was among more than 1,100 players cut Sunday as NFL teams trimmed their rosters.

Baseball: Juriënsly De Windt and Shardijon De Lanoi combined to drive in six runs, and Curaçao won its second Little League World Series title, beating Nevada 11-2 in the title game on Sunday.

Golf: Ruoning Yin won the FM Championship on Sunday at the TPC Boston for her sixth career LPGA Tour victory, outlasting Hyo Joo Kim. Yin ran in a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-5 12th for a share of the lead with playing partner Kim.

WNBA: Angel Reese broke a WNBA record with her 29th double-double this season, Allisha Gray made six 3-pointers and finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds, and the Dream beat the league-leading Lynx 89-81 on Sunday.

PALOU TIES RECORD WITH INDYCAR SEASON TITLE

Alex Palou won his record-tying fourth consecutive IndyCar season championship with a 10th-place finish Sunday night in the resumption of a rain-delayed race at the Milwaukee Mile. The 29-year-old from Barcelona, Spain, added to yet another dominating year for himself and Chip Ganassi Racing. Palou's four consecutive

championships match the record set by Sebastien Bourdais from 2004-07. He becomes just the third driver to win five titles, with A.J. Foyt winning seven and Scott Dixon six. It's also a record-setting 18th title won by a Ganassi driver, one more than Team Penske. Palou finished fifth in Sunday's regularly scheduled race. In 17 races this season, he has six wins, 12 top-five finishes and 14 top-10 results. IndyCar completed 90 of the scheduled 250 laps at the 1.015-mile oval on Saturday before the race was postponed because of rain and wet track conditions. The IndyCar season finale is next weekend in California. Palou was coming off a 2025 season in which he won eight races, including his first and only Indy 500 title. Most impressive has been his consistency. Over the past two seasons, he hasn't had back-to-back finishes outside the top 10 in 33 races.

POGACAR SHARES HOSPITAL PIC AFTER CRASH

Five-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogačar posted a photo from the hospital wearing a neck brace and with bandages on his hand and face on Sunday, a day after crashing out of the Spanish Vuelta. The Instagram post came accompanied by the Bee Gees song “Stayin’ Alive.” Pogačar was expected to undergo surgery after being sent hurdling head-over-handlebars in a frightening crash that forced him to pull out of the Vuelta. He suffered a concussion and broke two bones after he appeared to lose control when a stone came rolling across the road. The Slovenian from UAE Team Emirates had a big lead and was heavily favored to win the title to complete a hat trick of cycling's three Grand Tours. This was Pogačar's 10th Grand Tour and the first he has ever abandoned. He had never finished lower than third place. Enric Mas of Movistar, who inherited the lead from Pogacar, won the mountainous ninth stage. Mas edged Oscar Onley in a two-man sprint on the uphill finish to Alto de Aitana. Primoz Roglic crossed third, 12 seconds behind. Mas extended his lead to 1 minute, 18 seconds ahead of Roglic and 1 minute, 39 seconds ahead of Felix Gall.

FEDERER BROUGHT TO TEARS DURING INDUCTION

Roger Federer was brought to tears numerous times during his induction speech at the International Tennis Hall of Fame on Saturday. As sunset crept in at Newport's grass horseshoe court at the entrance of the Hall, the 45-year-old Federer, dressed in a tan suit, strolled up to the stage for his speech, kissed and hugged his wife, Mirka, who had just introduced him, and realized what a challenge it was going to be. "Oh man," were the first words from the first man ever to win 20 Grand Slam singles titles. "This is very high level and a tough act to follow." "I don't know if you have been practicing secretly," he joked before praising his wife's presentation of the 272nd Hall of Famer. Federer was inducted along with Mary Carillo, a broadcaster and former player, who was presented by Hall of Famer Billie Jean King. Federer, called the "Swiss Maestro" during the Hall's first red-carpet show, which began on center court about 90 minutes before the start of the induction ceremony, told the crowd he "was a little stressed to be honest." During his nearly 30-minute speech, Federer, who earned a record 237 consecutive weeks as the world's No. 1 player in the ATP rankings, choked up a handful of times. —AP

BIGGS

from Page C1

broadcast of the preseason finale, a 24-15 road victory over the Tennessee Titans. "There are only so many spots and we have a lot of guys that are making plays for us — not just starters but there is a lot of depth on our team and there are guys that are showing up on special teams and it makes it really difficult.

“That just means we’ve done a really good job both acquiring players, but also our coaches doing a great job of developing as well. So we always love when we have that type of challenge.”

The Bears had real synergy last season among the front office, scouts and Johnson's coaching staff when it came to developing players – draft picks and veterans alike. They will need to count on that formula again, especially on defense where injuries to Gordon and free-agent safety Coby Bryant (left knee) have created openings.

Dexter wasn't deemed a great fit for coordinator Dennis Allen's scheme. He plays with poor leverage too often and isn't the kind of explosive, penetrating interior player Allen prefers.

The Bears added free agents Kentavius Street and Neville Gallimore and rookies Jordan van den Berg and Jayden Loving, and the hope is they can create a nice rotation with veteran Grady Jarrett at defensive tackle, a position Johnson said last week is underrated outside the building. If injuries hit, the Bears might miss Dexter, who was seeking a new contract entering his fourth season and missed only two games in three years in Chicago.

The other two Poles picks remaining from the 2022 and '23 drafts are third running back Roschon Johnson and reserve safety Elijah Hicks, who was activated from the PUP list last week coming off a shin injury.

The biggest questions surround Gordon, who, when we heard from Poles at the outset of training camp, was in a “delay” to return to football activity.

It's something Poles needs to account for when he talks this week about the initial roster because Gordon's lack of availability is the mystery wrapped inside an enigma at Halas Hall.

Because Gordon remains on PUP, he must miss at least the first four regular-season games. A 21-day return-to-practice window can start as early as Sept. 21, the first day of Week 3.

But there's no telling when or even if Gordon will be in the mix. Johnson has brushed aside the topic anytime it's broached. You could loosely translate his response each time as, "Next question."

Plenty of folks in the building have a role in where this situation is, Gordon included. It's difficult to fathom how Trapilo has been a limited participant in practice for two weeks in his comeback from a ruptured patellar tendon and surgery in January, while a calf issue that can be traced back to the first week of August 2025 still shelves Gordon.

There are tales of players gutting it out in what can be a brutal game. Six-time Pro Bowl center Olin Kreutz suffered a torn Lisfranc ligament in the third quarter of the NFC championship game in the 2010 season when Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Ryan Pickett threw left tackle J'Marcus Webb into Kreutz's lap.

Kreutz went to the sideline and informed offensive line coach Mike Tice he thought he had broken his foot. Coach Lovie Smith came over and told Kreutz the team didn't have another center. Somehow, he finished the game. Kreutz returned to be ready for the following season, when he signed with the New Orleans Saints after general manager Jerry Angelo didn't offer him a contract.

Gordon is still out, and far more questions exist than answers, in part because he's off limits to media. ■ Is Gordon capable of passing a physical right now? ■ What did his routine consist of before the offseason program? ■ Why haven't the Bears found a path to get him on the field yet? ■ Is his relationship with the athletic training staff fractured? ■ Does he have a burning desire to play after the team made him the highest-paid nickel cornerback in the NFL in April 2025? ■ Was Johnson loosely referring to Gordon when he said Thursday that "we have almost the entire roster fighting their tails off to get back out on the field. They do not like missing time."

Unless Johnson misspoke — and he's not prone to malaprops or mixed messages — that implies that a very small portion of what was then a 90-man roster wasn't busting their tails to get on the field.

The timeline since last summer is a mess. Gordon was initially injured in the first week of August and showed up on the injury report with hamstring, calf and groin injuries. He was on track to return before the season opener before being reinjured. He returned Oct. 13 at Washington and was injured again the following week against the New Orleans Saints. Gordon played in the Nov. 28 game in Philadelphia and then was injured again in warmups before the next game in Green Bay.

He came back in time for the playoffs, and it was easy to see how impactful he can be in Allen's defense. Then he did next to nothing in the offseason program, and here we are, 13 days from the opener at Carolina, still in a delay.

“Obviously he’s frustrated,” Poles said when camp opened in July. “We’re frustrated. We just want him back. He helps our football team. We have to move forward with the guys we have, and when he’s ready to go, he’ll be ready to go. Everybody here is putting all their time and effort to get him back right."

The Bears ran out of time to get Gordon in the mix so he could start building a little equity with the coaches.

“Definitely unfortunate circumstances,” nickel cornerbacks coach Cannon Matthews said earlier in camp.

So what has Gordon been up to besides rehabilitation?

“We have him involved in different projects to stay engaged to make sure the mental part stays there,” Matthews said. “A guy that is a competitor that wants to be out there, it’s tough on him. But everything I have seen, I have no doubts he’s doing everything he can to be out there.”

Gordon did some presentations for the preseason games, Matthews said. Maybe that has connected him with the team in a way, but it sounds a lot like the kind of work that's heaped on quality control assistants in the regular season, not cornerbacks signed to three-year, \$40 million extensions.

In reworking the defense for this season, the Bears leaned into the strategy that they would be better in the secondary and that would help the pass rush, which didn't get a lot of personnel upgrades. Cornerback Jaylon Johnson has had an encouraging summer, but Bryant is out until at least mid-December after surgery on his left knee.

With Gordon out, Allen is faced with the prospect of playing rookie fourth-round pick Malik Muhammad II in the slot for the time being. It's either Muhammad or veteran Cam Lewis, who started 14 games over the previous six seasons in Buffalo.

Muhammad is a future exit strategy from Gordon. There's no clean way out out the contract right now. Good luck trading a player with a \$10 million base salary who has been out all summer and missed 14 regular-season games a year ago. Releasing Gordon would saddle the Bears with \$22.5 million in dead cap space for 2026.

It's a sticky situation, but there's no reason all involved can't seek a path to get Gordon into the fold. Poles needs to articulate how that can happen and what obstacles have prevented it to this point. The Bears are trying to help Gordon. That's a start. He has to help himself too.

The future of former Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller once looked mighty bleak after minor arthroscopic knee surgery cost him an entire season. He rebounded to be a top performer for the Bears, making one All-Pro and two Pro Bowl teams. That's the best-case scenario for Gordon.

The worst-case scenario is he doesn't see the field this season. The Bears would benefit right now from a solution that gets the talented and versatile Gordon on the field sooner rather than later. Then all parties can figure out the next move in the offseason.

For now, what's the delay?

TENNIS US OPEN

Pegula shakes off nerves and wins her opener

By Brian Mahoney | ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Jessica Pegula was one of the first players to compete at the U.S. Open, and she learned last year that starting Sunday provided some nice relief.

"It is a little bit weird, but I did kind of enjoy that I could breathe for the next couple of days and everyone else is still freaking out about whether they're going to win their first round," she said.

The head start is great — unless it's a head start back to the airport.

"We were just talking about it, and I said, it's so nice to play on Sunday when you win. But if you lose it's not nice, because you feel like the tournament didn't even start and you're out of it," No. 11 seed Marta Kostyuk said.

Pegula and Kostyuk both won easily and now the get the benefit of any extra day of rest before returning for the second round.

Novak Djokovic lost the first set as he began his quest for a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title on Sunday night against Mariano Navone. The match was paused during the first set so that the roof above Arthur Ashe Stadium could be closed because of rain that suspended play on the outer courts. Djokovic, 39, most recently lost his opening match earlier this month at Cincinnati.

The No. 3-seeded Pegula beat Elena-Gabriela Ruse 6-3, 6-2. She said she was nervous early, which makes sense given what could be at stake for the 2024 U.S. Open runner-up.

Pegula leads the women's tour with 46 wins this season. She has two titles and has reached three other finals. Pegula can become No. 1 in the rankings if she wins her first major title and No. 2 Elena Rybakina loses before the semifinals.

Pegula next faces the winner of the match between Venus Williams and fellow wild card Sofia Kenin. They were set to play in the nightcap at Ashe, and Williams and sister Serena are scheduled to play doubles together.

"I felt really nervous before I went out there, but I know my coaches were like, 'You didn't really look that nervous. We thought you played great,'" Pegula said.

The No. 11-seeded Kostyuk sure did, beating Storm Hunter 6-4, 6-1 for a strong start to the year's final major after reaching the semifinals at the French Open and Wimbledon.

A SUNDAY START BUT THE CHAMPIONS DON'T BEGIN UNTIL MONDAY

It was the second year of a Sunday start, though some of the biggest headliners don't begin until Monday. Two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka plays her opening match against Camila Osorio, before Carlos Alcaraz, who won his second U.S. Open title last year, plays his first singles match since April after recovering from a right wrist injury.

Past U.S. Open champions Naomi Osaka, Iga Swiatek, Sloane Stephens and Stan Wawrinka are also on the Monday schedule, along with Wimbledon women's champion Linda Noskova and men's contenders such as Ben Shelton, Arthur Fils, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Frances Tiafoe.

Daniil Medvedev, the 2021 U.S. Open champion, shook off his miserable preparation for the tournament by beating Hugo Gaston 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. The No. 7 seed was just 1-3 in the North American hard-court swing, usually a time he thrives.

“Last couple of weeks was not easy,” Medvedev said. “But I’m happy that today I managed to produce high-level tennis.”

Other winners Sunday included No. 19 Jasmine Paolini and No. 31 Leylah Fernandez, the 2021 U.S. Open runner-up. No. 27 seed Barbora Krejcikova, a two-time Grand Slam singles champion, lost 7-6 (4), 6-2 to Kamilla Rakhimova.

American Tommy Paul, the No. 20 seed, bounced back from losing a first-set tiebreak to Coleman Wong to win 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-3, 6-3. Wong a year ago became the first man from Hong Kong to win an Open-era Grand Slam men's singles match on the way to reaching the round of 32.

Maric Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion, and 2022 runner-up Casper Ruud both withdrew with injuries on the opening day.

RAIN CAUSES HAVOC,

EVEN IN A STADIUM WITH A ROOF

Other winners Sunday included No. 9 Elina Svitolina, No. 19 Jasmine Paolini and No. 31 Leylah Fernandez, the 2021 U.S. Open runner-up. No. 27 seed Barbora Krejcikova, a two-time Grand Slam singles champion, lost 7-6 (4), 6-2 to Kamilla Rakhimova.

American Tommy Paul, the No. 20 seed, bounced back from losing a first-set tiebreak to Coleman Wong to win 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-3, 6-3. Wong a year ago became the first man from Hong Kong to win an Open-era Grand Slam men's singles match on the way to reaching the round of 32.

Seven matches couldn't be completed because of rain – and one was delayed even though it was being played in the other stadium with a retractable roof. There was a mechanical issue with one of the sensors at Louis Armstrong Stadium, and even after the roof finally closed, the court had to be dried before No. 15 seed Alexander Bublik and J.J. Wolf could play. Maric Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion, and 2022 runner-up Casper Ruud both withdrew with injuries.
