被迫返回他们曾逃离的政权

曾受美国欢迎的尼加拉瓜异见人士，正面临被遣返回国的境地。

作者：凯特·林希卡姆 (KATE LINTHICUM) 和 伊斯马埃尔·洛佩兹 (ISMAEL LÓPEZ)

墨西哥城 —— 尼加拉瓜记者路易斯·加莱亚诺 (Luis Galeano) 在2018年逃离其国家，此前警察突袭了他播报热门谈话节目的电视台，并逮捕了他的两名同事。

加莱亚诺持旅游签证抵达佛罗里达州后申请政治庇护，称由于他激烈批评尼加拉瓜左翼的桑定主义政府（美国将其定义为独裁政权），他在国内面临严重风险。不久之后，尼加拉瓜宣布加莱亚诺为“祖国叛徒”，并没收了他在首都马那瓜的房屋和资产。

本周，美国移民局特工在奥兰多逮捕了加莱亚诺。尽管他的庇护申请仍在审理中，但他现在面临被遣返回他曾逃离、且多年来一直记录其暴行的国家。

随着特朗普政府扩大驱逐行动的范围，并收紧庇护及其他形式的保护渠道，在尼加拉瓜遭受迫害并在美国寻求安全的记者、人权倡导者和政治异见人士被拘留的情况日益增加。

最近的目标包括在2018年亲民主抗议活动遭到血腥镇压后逃离尼加拉瓜的活动人士，以及批评丹尼尔·奥尔特加 (Daniel Ortega) 和罗莎里奥·穆里略 (Rosario Murillo) 政权的反对派领导人，这对夫妇以共同总统的身份领导尼加拉瓜。

欧盟提议使加拿大成为“准成员”

这一标榜“共同力量”的提议出台之际，欧盟与美国的关系正趋于紧张。

作者：罗布·吉利斯（Rob Gillies）

法国斯特拉斯堡 —— 欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩周三提议将加拿大设为欧盟首个准成员。在特朗普总统的威胁迫使渥太华向欧洲靠拢之际，这一提议是一次令人瞩目的示好。

特朗普的关税政策以及反复提及将加拿大变为第51个州的言论，使这对北美邻国之间的关系恶化。加拿大正寻求减少对美国的依赖（美国接收了加拿大约 70% 的出口产品），总理马克·卡尼已呼吁与欧盟建立一种“独特的联盟”。

在年度《欧盟现状》演讲中，冯德莱恩表示，加拿大和欧盟将在现有的 CETA 自由贸易协定基础上，建立一个更广泛的“未来联盟”，旨在创造一个“共同繁荣和经济安全的空间”。

她将这种更紧密的关系定义为不仅根植于贸易，更根植于共同的民主价值观。

《观点报》回顾在洛杉矶的一世纪

在伊格纳西奥·E·洛扎诺（Ignacio E. Lozano Sr.）创办《观点报》（La Opinión）时，洛杉矶大约有十几家西班牙语报纸在运营。

那是 1926 年的墨西哥独立日，距离大萧条以及随后发生的对墨西哥人和墨西哥裔美国人的强制驱逐还有几年时间。

历经这一切，《观点报》经受住了时间的考验。它记录了这座城市日益增长的墨西哥社区几代人的生活，在 20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代，随着来自墨西哥和中美洲的移民在人口和政治方面深刻地重塑该地区，该报的影响力达到了顶峰。

本周，该报迎来了一个里程碑，标志着其报道洛杉矶日益多样化的拉丁裔社区已满一个世纪。

作者：鲁本·维韦斯（Ruben Vives） 几代以来，这家具有影响力的西班牙语报纸一直是一条生命线。尽管它面临着与其他报纸类似的困境，但它依然存在，包括去年洛杉矶因特朗普政府的移民打击行动而陷入动荡期间。

洛杉矶联合学区在入学人数骤减之际权衡学校去留

学区官员在校园“重建与缩减规模”之间面临艰难抉择。

作者：霍华德·布鲁姆（HOWARD BLUME）

洛杉矶学校的入学人数再次大幅下降——今年下降了约 4%——而与此同时，官员们正推进一项耗资数十亿美元的现代化和重建计划，这引发了人们对投资那些可能很快被关闭的校园的质疑。

学校关闭问题原定于周二向前推进，因为教育委员会原计划就聘请一名该领域的顾问进行投票。但由于家长活动人士和员工团体的担忧日益增加，该合同在最后一刻被撤出考虑范围。相反，教育局长安德烈斯·查伊特（Andrés Chait）通过一份全区信息发出了重启信号。

“当学校规模变得非常小时，可能更难为我们的学生提供他们应得的全方位机会，”查伊特写道。“这就是为什么在接下来的几周里，我们将开始一场社区对话，探讨如何加强我们的学校，并确保每位学生都能获得成功所需的机会和支持。”

“我们的目标不仅仅是减少学校数量，”他补充道，“我们的目标是拥有更强大的学校。”

这些决定沉重地影响着教育委员会面临的紧迫问题，该委员会必须执行一项削减预算计划，以防止赤字在最糟糕的情况下到 2029 年 6 月 30 日增加至 35 亿美元。随着领导层缩减运营规模，裁员、员工无薪休假和学校关闭可能在前方等待。

与此同时，学区正全力推进其正在进行的学校重建和现代化计划，选民在 2024 年 11 月通过 90 亿美元的债券为其提供了支持。

周二，委员会批准了四所小学的重大重建项目，总金额为 3.226 亿美元——分别是 Menlo Avenue、93rd Street、96th Street 和 122nd Street，全部位于南洛杉矶。这些项目最初是为了应对地震风险而启动，随后扩大了规模。

回收被纳粹掠夺的艺术品

各家庭起诉包括诺顿·西蒙在内的博物馆，旨在追回艺术作品。

作者：凯文·雷克托（KEVIN RECTOR）

自从加利福尼亚州和美国国会通过了两项旨在加强美国境内对全球纳粹掠夺艺术品索赔权的法律以来，加州首次出现了两起诉讼，要求知名博物馆交出在第二次世界大战期间被没收的作品。

其中一起案件于周一在洛杉矶联邦法院提起，奥斯威辛幸存者迪娜·戈特利博娃·巴比特（Dina Gottliebova Babbitt）的女儿们起诉波兰的奥斯威辛-比克瑙纪念馆和博物馆，要求归还巴比特在纳粹医生及战犯约瑟夫·门格勒（Josef Mengele）的强迫下，为狱友绘制的水彩画。

另一起案件于周一在洛杉矶高等法院提起，大洛杉矶犹太联合会（Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles）及其董事会主席丹尼尔·格里奇曼（Daniel Gryczman）起诉位于帕萨迪纳的诺顿·西蒙博物馆（Norton Simon Museum），要求归还由卢卡斯·克拉纳赫（父）（Lucas Cranach the Elder）创作的16世纪杰作——双联画《亚当与夏娃》。

这些诉讼重启了多年来未能成功的关于水彩画和双联画的法律斗争，其前提是根据新法律，他们的索赔现在具有可行性——其中一项由加州立法者于2024年通过，另一项由特朗普总统于今年早些时候签署成为法律。

这两项法律在一定程度上都受到了另一场关于掠夺艺术品的法律斗争的启发，该斗争发生在一家加州家庭与一家知名博物馆之间，目前仍在进行中。

沙特因导弹短缺寻求盟友帮助以对抗胡塞武装

作者：萨米·马格迪 (SAMY MAGDY)、 苏珊·弗雷泽 (SUZAN FRASER) 以及 穆尼尔·艾哈迈德 (MUNIR AHMED)

开罗 —— 两名地区官员周三表示，由于与也门胡塞武装的僵持局面持续时间过长，沙特阿拉伯的导弹拦截弹储备即将耗尽，已转向寻求地区及西方盟友的援助。

这些官员称，沙特已请求法国、英国、巴基斯坦和埃及在该地区部署防空支持，以帮助防御胡塞武装及其他伊朗支持团体的导弹和无人机攻击。

一名官员表示，此次寻求援助是因为沙特的主要盟友和武器供应商美国在与伊朗进行为期六个月的战争过程中，自身的拦截弹库存也已减少。由于未获授权向媒体通报，两名官员均要求匿名。

沙特官员未立即回应置评请求。

沙特阿拉伯与胡塞武装之间的战斗是伊朗战争导致爆发的最新战线。周三，沙特阿拉伯指责胡塞武装试图用无人机袭击伊斯兰教最神圣的城市；该地区对此表示谴责，但未显示出提供军事支持的迹象。

该王国宣布，先知穆罕默德的出生地麦加是“红线”，并表示已拦截该无人机。胡塞武装否认攻击距离也门边境约 680 英里的麦加。

由于这个全球最大的石油出口国正受到其地区对手支持的叛军攻击，该王国既需要原油的安全出口，也需要军事援助。但目前这两者都没有明确的路径。

据报道，在伊拉克受伊朗支持的民兵组织发动袭击后，一条至关重要的沙特管道已被关闭数周。胡塞武装一直将目标锁定在沙特境内的基础设施及其在红海的航运，并在曼德海峡夺取了几个岛屿。而伊朗仍在攻击霍尔木兹海峡的船只。油价仍维持在每桶 100 美元以上。

其中一名地区官员表示，沙特阿拉伯处于“非常困难的境地”，因为它不仅要保护其军事基地和至关重要的政府设施，还要保护遍布全国的石油设施。

第二名官员表示，沙特阿拉伯还试图集结其国际盟友，对胡塞武装发起集体回应。该官员说：“但目前的决定是给外交机会，”并补充说，阿曼和埃及正主导也门的降温努力。

两名知情人士（包括一名胡塞武装官员）表示，上周末，阿曼主持了美国与胡塞武装代表之间的一次会议，以讨论紧张局势。他们未提供进一步细节，并因未获授权向媒体通报而要求匿名。

周二，英国首相发言人汤姆·威尔斯 (Tom Wells) 确认，英国与沙特阿拉伯拥有“密切的国防伙伴关系”。但他拒绝透露沙特阿拉伯是否请求了军事援助，也未说明英国军队是否在该国。

美国和北约官员此前已承认欧洲严重缺乏导弹拦截弹，这引发了人们对欧洲提供援助能力的质疑。

一名土耳其政府官员表示，土耳其正与伊朗和阿拉伯联合酋长国进行谈判，试图降低紧张局势。该官员因未获授权公开就此问题发言而要求匿名，且未提供进一步细节。

这些袭击是对沙特阿拉伯、北约成员国土耳其以及核大国巴基斯坦之间新签署的国防协议的首次考验。但土耳其和巴基斯坦的官员告诉美联社，他们尚未收到沙特针对胡塞武装升级行动而提出的支持请求。这些官员因未获授权公开就此问题发言而要求匿名。

在谴责针对麦加的袭击企图之际，巴基斯坦总理谢巴兹·谢里夫表示，他的国家与沙特阿拉伯将“坚定不移地肩并肩”站在一起。据国家运行的安纳多卢通讯社报道，土耳其外交部长表达了团结，并表示没有任何国家能够“对此漠不关心”。

美国已向沙特阿拉伯出售了价值数十亿美元的武器，并承诺提供其他支持，但美国高层官员表示不愿卷入这场冲突。

副总统 JD 范斯周一表示，华盛顿一直与沙特方面保持“密切接触”，并已“与胡塞武装进行了直接对话”。

当被问及沙特阿拉伯是否请求干预时，一名美国官员表示，美国军队的中央司令部已成立一个特遣部队，用于“加强与沙特军队的情报共享和规划支持”。

该官员还表示，美国军方上周在德国举行的一次会议上接待了来自 8 个国家的高级军事领导人，以讨论“加强中东安全合作的机会”。由于未获授权公开评论，该官员在发言时要求匿名。该官员未确认参会国家。

胡塞武装周三声称，他们在也门中部马里卜省击落了一架由沙特支持的联军操作的 F-15 战斗机，但未提供证据。

胡塞武装发言人 Yahya Saree 准将未说明事件发生的时间，美联社无法独立核实该说法。

与此同时，伊朗最高外交官正在中国访问，中国是伊朗石油的最大买家。

据中国外交部消息，中国外交部长王毅呼吁美国和伊朗保持克制，并尽快重新开放霍尔木兹海峡。他对战斗蔓延至也门和红海表示关注。

伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格奇表示，德黑兰寻求“恢复地区的平静，并与邻国建立友好和平的关系”。

哈里与梅根将孩子转学

美联社

伦敦 —— 一位发言人周二表示，哈里王子及其妻子梅根出于安全考虑，已将两个孩子转到一所新学校。就在几周前，该家庭才返回英国以寻求新的开始。

该发言人在一份声明中表示：“在与家庭安保团队讨论了当前安排的实际操作问题后，决定让孩子们转学。”

在全家于8月下旬从加利福尼亚州搬迁后，7岁的阿奇王子和5岁的莉莉贝特公主才刚刚在英格兰开始新的学年。

英国媒体报道称，学校与家庭住所的距离以及沿途严重的交通拥堵，是这对夫妇及其安保团队提出的担忧因素之一。该家庭目前居住在伦敦市外的一处私人非皇室住所。

声明补充道：“这一决定绝不应被解读为对该学校或孩子们在那里获得的卓越照顾的负面评价。”

在此之前有报道称，哈里和梅根正在等待政府 VIP 保护审查委员会的一项新风险评估，其中包括决定该家庭在居住于英国后是否有权获得公共资金资助的安保服务。

哈里和梅根在六年前放弃了皇室职责并搬到加利福尼亚州，称他们希望自食其力。随后，他们与 Netflix 和 Spotify 签署了利润丰厚的合同。

尽管此后与皇室其他成员的关系恶化，但哈里最近表达了和解的意愿，以便能与父亲查尔斯三世国王共度更多时间。

哈里一直与英国政府进行长期斗争，要求恢复公共资金资助的警察保护，而这项保护在夫妇二人放弃皇室角色时被取消了。

他此前曾表示，如果没有安全保障，他无法“想象一个能让我把妻子和孩子带回英国的世界”。

本月早些时候，国王重申，哈里和梅根仍是非工作状态的皇室成员，并将继续避免使用正式的皇室头衔，正如他们自 2020 年以来所做的那样。

这对夫妇表示，他们对君主发布该声明的方式感到惊讶，因为他们几乎没有时间对其进行审阅。

科索沃前领导人因战争罪被判刑

“现在相关个人正被追究责任，”她在一份声明中表示。

作者：迈克·科德（MIKE CORDER）

海牙 —— 科索沃前总统哈希姆·塔奇（Hashim Thaci）周三被判处 25 年监禁，此前他被裁定在 1998-99 年脱离塞尔维亚独立战争期间犯有战争罪。

塔奇在近六年前辞职，以便在海牙接受由欧盟支持的科索沃专家法庭（Kosovo Specialist Chambers）的指控。他被裁定犯有谋杀、酷刑、残酷对待和任意拘禁罪。

他本人以及要求更严厉判决的检察官均可提出上诉。

该判决引发了塔奇支持者的愤怒，对于这个曾被西方接纳、受邀参加 1999 年在法国举行的和平谈判，并被视为能引导科索沃走向独立的领导人来说，这是一个沉重的打击。

主审法官查尔斯·史密斯（Charles Smith）表示，塔奇积极参与并鼓励犯罪，包括提拔参与犯罪的人员，并且“展现出一种残酷的能力，能够清除和消除”对他及其他指挥官领导地位构成阻碍的政治障碍。

塔奇身着西装打着领带，在史密斯宣读判决书时保持沉默。

科索沃外交部长格劳克·孔尤夫查（Glauk Konjufca）谴责该裁决是“对科索沃、对我们的人民以及对我们的解放战争的一次可怕的审判”。

数百名支持者在海牙法院附近的一个公园等待，其中一些人与荷兰防暴警察发生了短暂冲突。警方在 X 平台上表示，他们拘留了两名人员。

在科索沃首都普里什蒂纳，数千人通过大屏幕观看听证会直播，并对判决感到震惊。一些人高喊“UCK”，这是塔奇在进入政坛前曾领导的科索沃解放军（KLA）的阿尔巴尼亚语缩写。

一名支持者贝基姆·费塔胡（Bekim Fetahu）表示，该裁决是一个“灾难性的决定”。

随后，在普里什蒂纳郊区，戴着面具的抗议者向欧盟科索沃法治特派团（EULEX）办公区围墙投掷石块，击碎了数扇窗户。

主审法官史密斯表示，塔奇“利用其职位、领导地位、权威和声望”来鼓励犯罪，且未能调查或惩罚科索沃解放军战士的虐待行为。

然而，这位美国法官同时强调，此次审判“并非针对科索沃解放军的合法性”，也不是针对其确保科索沃（当时是塞尔维亚的一个省）独立的最终目标。

特别检察官金伯利·韦斯特（Kimberly West）对判决表示赞赏。“某些个人利用战争环境犯下严重罪行，而这些个人现在被追究责任，这对科索沃来说是一件好事。”

在贝尔格莱德，塞尔维亚总统亚历山大·武契奇（Aleksandar Vucic）表示“我们没有理由高兴”，并担心该裁决在经过上诉后将无法维持。武契奇批评多项针对塞尔维亚族平民的涉嫌犯罪行为未被纳入考虑，声称存在反塞尔维亚偏见。

他说：“塞尔维亚人总是（战争）罪犯，而其他人则是解放者和英雄。”

塔奇与另外三名曾在 1998-99 年战争中对抗塞尔维亚军队的前科索沃解放军领导人一同受审，他们在科索沃被广泛视为民族英雄。他们对所有指控均表示不认罪。

由于法官认为检察官未能证明相关罪行是针对平民系统性攻击的一部分，这四人被裁定不构成六项反人类罪。

他们被裁定犯有战争罪，包括任意拘禁 385 人、残酷对待 49, torture of 303 名被拘留者实施酷刑以及谋杀 96 人。

塔奇和其他被告卡德里·韦塞利（Kadri Veseli）、雷杰普·塞利米（Rexhep Selimi）和雅库普·克拉斯尼基（Jakup Krasniqi）均坚称自己无罪。韦塞利被判处 18 年监禁，塞利米被判处 13 年监禁，克拉斯尼基被判处 25 年监禁。

[...OMITTED...]

韦塞利（Veseli）的律师罗德尼·迪克森（Rodney Dixon）将该判决描述为“科索沃的不幸之日。这也是法治或国际法的不幸之日”，并表示他将“发起强有力的上诉，继续战斗以证明韦塞利先生的清白，并让他回到科索沃家乡”。

在2月份审判结束时，塔奇（Thaci）告诉法官：“在我的一生中，我始终与科索沃人民站在一起，捍卫自由、生命和尊严。我始终以民主、平等和正义的西方理想为指导。”

但法院裁定，塔奇及其共同被告在科索沃解放军（KLA）任职期间，将政治对手以及被视为合作者和叛徒的平民列为攻击目标。

“事实上，没有迹象表明本案中的受害者是间谍或合作者，”史密斯（Smith）表示。仅仅因为“有塞尔维亚朋友或在塞尔维亚公司工作，就足以将他们视为”敌人的合作者。

战斗爆发时，塔奇是一名学生，他从他所描述的瑞士政治流亡地返回，加入科索沃的独立斗争。由于在冲突期间能够避开塞尔维亚军队，他赢得了“蛇”的绰号。

塔奇在战后获得政治权力，但随后辞去总统职务，前往海牙法庭为自己辩护。

加沙建筑在以色列袭击后倒塌；至少21人死亡

作者：JEHAD ALSHRAFI, WAFAA SHURAFA 和 JULIA FRANKEL

加沙城 —— 周三凌晨，加沙城一座此前被以色列袭击损坏的建筑突然倒塌，导致至少21人在睡梦中死亡，其中包括11名儿童。这场灾难迫使救援人员用徒手在瓦砾中挖掘。

该建筑在战争早期的袭击中已被知晓是不稳定的，此次倒塌凸显了在以色列与哈马斯之间的停火协议陷入僵局之际，巴勒斯坦飞地大多数人口的生存条件已变得多么危险。

自近一年前达成停火协议以来，尚未开展任何重建工作。以色列表示，在哈马斯解除武装之前，不会允许任何重建，且仅有极少数挖掘机被允许进入加沙。

当被问及是否允许机械进入以协助处理倒塌事件时，负责协调加沙地带援助工作的以色列军方机构 COGAT 表示，以色列政府的政策是允许重型机械进入加沙。

根据加沙卫生部的发言人 Zaher al-Wahidi 的说法，截至周三下午，死亡人数包括11名儿童和5名妇女。他表示，至少有14人受伤，救援人员已完成挖掘工作。

据加沙民防部门称，尽管知道该建筑处于崩溃边缘，仍有大约六个流离失所的巴勒斯坦家庭在此避难。民防救援人员 Aboud Majdalawi 表示：“缺乏选择和替代方案让他们别无选择。”

加沙约 200 万 人口目前生活在不足原领土一半的狭长地带。他们依赖援助，并被几乎每天进行袭击和攻击的以色列军队所包围。

在建筑倒塌后，人们绝望地寻找亲人。

有人看到一群男人抬着一名孩子无头尸体。其他人坐在瓦砾堆上，拼命地拉扯着他们认为可能是幸存者穿着的彩色衣物碎片。然而，他们发现的只有卡在碎片中的覆盖着灰尘的毯子。

此次倒塌发生之际，加沙地带的救援人员正试图从战争早期因以色列袭击而倒塌的建筑中挖掘出数百具尸体。他们只有几台可运行的挖掘机，且燃料供应正在枯竭。

周三，联合国人权事务负责人表示，他担心目前找回的尸体仅仅是“冰山一角”。

他说：“令人心碎的是，那些失踪如此之久的人的亲属，直到现在才证实了他们最深层的恐惧。加沙的大部分地区已被以色列的轰炸或重型机械和炸药的拆除与清理夷为平地。”

挪威难民理事会 3 月对加沙城的评估显示，超过五分之一的建筑在结构上是不稳固的，但居住在其中的居民表示他们无处可去。

该理事会领导着加沙的一个避难所提供者联盟。8 月，该联盟发布了一份关于加沙地带避难条件的评估报告，称三分之二的巴勒斯坦家庭住在帐篷营地中。

在居住于建筑中的家庭中，72% 的家庭处于轻微或中度损坏的结构中。

这场战争是由哈马斯领导的 Oct. 7, 2023, 袭击引发的，当时武装分子冲入以色列南部，杀害了约 1,200 人并劫持了 251 人作为人质。许多人质讲述了长期的饥饿、身体和心理虐待，以及在某些情况下的性虐待。

尽管 10 月的停火协议减少了加沙的战斗，但据当地卫生官员称，以色列继续进行袭击，自协议生效以来已造成至少 1,375 人死亡。

据加沙卫生部称，这场持续近三年的以色列-哈马斯战争已导致超过 73,789 名巴勒斯坦人死亡。该部门隶属于哈马斯领导的政府，其维护的详细记录被联合国机构和国际组织认为总体可靠。该部门不区分平民与武装人员，但表示妇女和儿童约占死亡人数的一半。

苏丹金矿灾难导致数十人死亡

作者：亚西尔·阿卜杜拉 (YASIR ABDALLAH) 和 萨米·马格迪 (SAMY MAGDY)

苏丹，申迪 —— 根据当地官员和活动人士的消息，苏丹偏远地区一座非正规金矿坍塌导致的死亡人数已上升至 82 人。周三，救援人员在设备有限的情况下艰难地搜寻失踪者。

这是这个深陷于毁灭性战争的国家中发生的最新悲剧。

幸存者表示，坍塌发生在西科尔多凡省努胡德（Nuhud）的 Al-Zara 金矿。该镇目前由准军事组织快速支援部队（RSF）控制。该组织与苏丹军队的战斗已持续三年多。

“我们没有能够挖掘泥土和石头，并在 30 米（约 100 英尺）深处搜寻幸存者的机械，”他说道。“当时有数十人在矿井中工作。”

Al-Zara 金矿是散布在苏丹各地的数千座小规模非正规矿井之一。苏丹目前正被一场战争吞噬，这场战争有时会导致该国部分地区陷入饥荒。

尽管苏丹是主要的黄金生产国，但由于安全标准未得到广泛执行，致命的矿井坍塌并不罕见。2023 年的一次坍塌导致 14 名矿工死亡，2021 年的一次坍塌则夺走了 38 人的生命。

另一名幸存者阿拉明·苏莱曼（Al-Amin Suliman）表示，截至周三上午，已寻获 60 具尸体。

“仍然有人被困在里面，”他说道。

追踪苏丹战争的医疗组织“苏丹医生网络”（Sudan Doctors Network）此前报告称，已有 67 具尸体从废墟中被挖掘出，并预测随着救援人员继续搜寻，死亡人数可能会增加。该组织表示，这座金矿是一个雇佣无监管工人的非正规场所，缺乏基本的安全和防护措施。

此前，通过电话联系到的幸存者和该医生网络表示，这场悲剧发生在周二晚上。

根据联合国委任的专家称，大量黄金被走私出境，用于资助控制达尔富尔和科尔多凡地区黄金产区的快速支援部队（RSF）。

爱沙尼亚，塔林 —— 美国白俄罗斯特使周三表示，该国当局已同意释放 25 名囚犯，以换取美国取消对两家白俄罗斯公司的制裁。

特朗普总统的白俄罗斯特使约翰·科尔（John Coale）在会见白俄罗斯独裁总统亚历山大·卢卡申科（Alexander Lukashenko）一天后发表了这一声明，卢卡申科在会谈中敦促取消美国对其国家的所有剩余制裁。

“25 名囚犯今天自由了！”科尔在 X 上表示，并补充说“特朗普总统对直接外交的承诺取得了成果”。他还感谢了卢卡申科以及欧盟成员国、白俄罗斯邻国立陶宛当局的支持。

“我们将继续改善美白关系，并致力于在不久的将来确保更多人员获得释放，”科尔说。“我们还没有完成！”

科尔在明斯克向记者表示，作为他所谓的“临时协议”的一部分以及“作为一种善意的展示”，白俄罗斯将释放 25 人，以换取美国取消对两家白俄罗斯公司 Lakokraska 和 Bellesbumprom 的制裁。

他补充说，在所有细节达成一致后，随后将进一步释放囚犯并取消更多制裁。

白俄罗斯当局尚未公布囚犯释放的任何细节。

卢卡申科以铁腕统治这个拥有 950 万人口的国家超过三十年，该国多次受到西方国家的制裁 —— 既是因为其对人权的镇压，也是因为允许莫斯科利用其领土在 2022 年发动对乌克兰的全规模入侵。

自从特朗普在第二任期回归白宫以来，卢卡申科在一系列由美国调停的协议中释放了数百名政治犯，这些协议同时也取消了一些美国制裁。

白俄罗斯流亡反对派领导人斯维特拉娜·齐哈诺夫斯卡娅（Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya）对此表示欢迎

“这是一个重要的一步，但仅仅是一步，”齐哈诺夫斯卡娅告诉美联社。“许多政治犯仍然身陷囹圄。”

对于卢卡申科来说，“人们是筹码 —— 是他可以交易然后用新人质替换的东西，”她说，并补充道“我们必须打破这种镇压的恶性循环”。

根据维亚斯纳（Viasna）人权中心的资料，白俄罗斯仍有 887 名政治犯。

在立陶宛首都维尔纽斯会见获释囚犯的齐哈诺夫斯卡娅表示，囚犯的释放不应被视为白俄罗斯政治变革的信号。

“镇压仍在继续，”她说。

作为华盛顿协助促成的 3 月一项协议的一部分，卢卡申科下令释放 250 名政治犯，而美国同意取消对两家白俄罗斯国家银行和该国财政部的制裁，并将白俄罗斯顶尖的钾肥生产商从制裁名单中移除。

4 月的另一项协议在与波兰的交换中释放了知名记者安杰伊·波楚布特（Andrzej Poczobut），此次交换共释放了 10 人。

卢卡申科的统治在 2020 年总统选举后受到挑战，当时数十万人走上街头，抗议他们认为被操纵的投票。在随后的镇压中，数万人被拘留，其中许多人遭到警察殴打。知名反对派人物要么逃离该国，要么被监禁。

在大规模示威五年后，卢卡申科在去年的一次选举中赢得了第七任期，反对派称这次选举是一场闹剧。

周三获释的囚犯中包括媒体管理人员安德烈·阿里亚克桑德劳（Andrei Aliaksandrau）和柳德米拉·切金娜（Liudmila Chekina），以及记者德米特里·纳瓦日劳（Dzmitry Navazhylau）和基里尔·帕兹尼亚克（Kiryl Pazniak）。

维亚斯纳人权中心的律师帕维尔·萨佩尔卡（Pavel Sapelka）表示，白俄罗斯当局没收了部分获释人员的护照，他认为这相当于“强制驱逐”。

美国将限制南非官员旅行

紧急响应室（Emergency Response Rooms）成员苏莱曼·阿布·海迈达（Suleiman Abu Hmeida）表示，截至周三下午，救援人员已挖掘出 82 具尸体。“但仍有数十人下落不明。”

紧急响应室是一个基层网络，负责监测冲突并为饱受战争蹂躏的苏丹各社区提供支持。

一名当地行政官员也表示，已寻获 82 具尸体。

该官员称，坍塌始于周日的一个矿井，随后蔓延至其他互连的矿井。他表示，救援工作仅有一台私有的叉车可用，这增加了搜寻幸存者的难度。

由于未获授权与媒体接触，该官员在要求匿名的条件下发表了上述言论。

“坍塌规模巨大，情况非常危急，”幸存者之一海拉尔-赛义德·加巴拉（Khairal-Sayed Gabara）在接受美联社电话采访时表示。他称，用于清除坍塌土壤和碎石的机械设备无法到位。

华盛顿再次声称某项争议法律对白人具有歧视性。

作者：杰拉尔德·伊姆雷（GERALD IMRAY）

南非，开普敦 —— 特朗普政府宣布，将对那些被指对南非白人及其他少数群体实施歧视的官员实施旅行禁令。

美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥（Marco Rubio）周二表示，他将撤销或拒绝那些被发现对制定或执行相关法律政策负责或参与其中的外国国民的美国签证。这些法律政策允许在不给予补偿的情况下没收土地、基于种族的歧视，以及煽动针对南非少数民族和种族群体的暴力行为。

“美国不会允许这种行为在不受制约的情况下发生，”鲁比奥在声明中表示。“这些行为直接破坏了和平、经济稳定和法治，且与美国外交政策的支柱不相兼容。”

南非政府强烈否认美国关于歧视白人的指控，称自特朗普总统去年重返办公室以来，该政府提出的主张毫无根据且源于错误信息。

鲁比奥并未指明将受到旅行限制的具体官员。此前，一个代表南非少数白人的游说团体呼吁美国制裁非洲国民大会党（ANC）的官员，该党是南非总统西里尔·拉马福萨（Cyril Ramaphosa）所属政党，也是南非议会中最大的政党。

这是特朗普政府针对南非采取的最新制裁举措，此前该政府声称白人（尤其是布尔人群体）正受到其黑人领导政府的歧视。布尔人主要由 17 世纪首次来到南非的荷兰和法国殖民定居者的后裔组成。他们曾是南非此前种族隔离制度的核心。

在南非 6200 万 的人口中，大约有 450 万 白人，其中也包括具有英国或其他血统的白人。

美国将南非一项允许在某些情况下无偿征收闲置私人土地的争议法律、旨在增加黑人公民及其他群体机会的平权行动政策，以及少数针对白人农民的暴力犯罪，作为南非存在更大规模反白人立场的证据。

特朗普政府还强烈批评南非在联合国最高法院的一起极具情绪化的案件中，指控美国盟友以色列在加沙对巴勒斯坦人实施种族灭绝。以色列对此指控予以坚决否认。

南非外交部长罗纳德·拉莫拉（Ronald Lamola）周三表示，一些被美国贴上歧视标签的国内政策，旨在解决种族隔离制度以及在此之前的数百年殖民统治所造成的不公正，当时黑人的权利被剥夺。

“南非尊重美国在某些政策措施及其执行方面可能持有不同观点……同样，南非人民尊重美国人民制定旨在解决其自身情况的立法的权利，”拉莫拉在的一份声明中表示。“我们期望南非人民也能获得同样的尊重，因为主权原则如此要求。”

在特朗普的第二个任期内，美国因南非所谓的反白人和反美政策，对其实施了一系列其他制裁。这些措施包括禁止南非官员参加今年在美国举行的 Group of 20 经济集团会议，以及逐步取消对南非艾滋病（HIV）治疗计划的援助。

美国还启动了一项针对阿非利卡人（Afrikaners）和其他白人的难民计划，毫无根据地声称他们是南非人道主义紧急情况的受害者。

美国方面表示，制裁是因为南非没有改变其政策，并警告称后续将有更多措施。

“这项签证限制政策仅仅是一系列升级措施的第一步，将展示美国在此问题上的坚定决心，”美国驻南非大使的官方X账号在发帖中提到，该帖是指鲁比奥（Rubio）关于签证的公告。

政治避难申请者成为驱逐目标

[尼加拉瓜，接 A1 页] 三年前，根据美国国务院协商的一项新协议。

作为 2023 年协议的一部分，尼加拉瓜释放了 222 名政治犯，美国则租用了一架包机将他们飞往华盛顿，每人都获得了临时人道主义假释以及申请避难的机会。

这些前囚犯之一马龙·赫拉多·萨恩斯·克鲁兹（Marlon Gerardo Sáenz Cruz）曾是一名桑定主义者，他表示在谴责政府腐败后在尼加拉瓜遭受了酷刑。8 月 17 日，他在洛杉矶与移民当局进行常规登记时被逮捕。

另一人丹尼斯·哈维尔·帕拉西奥斯·埃尔南德斯（Denis Javier Palacios Hernández）因参加亲民主游行在尼加拉瓜监狱中被囚禁了三年，周三上午在弗吉尼亚州被移民局特工拘留。

人权倡导者表示，驱逐没有犯罪记录且有受迫害历史的异见人士，会使他们的生命陷入危险，且与美国的外交政策相悖。美国外交政策谴责穆里略和奥尔特加治下的侵犯人权和腐败行为；奥尔特加曾是一名马克思主义革命者，现年 80 岁，是美洲在任时间最长的领导人。

在奥尔特加 7 月表示尼加拉瓜将取消所有未来选举后，国务卿马可·鲁比奥（Marco Rubio）誓言将采取应对措施，他此前已宣布对数十名尼加拉瓜领导人实施全面制裁。本周，在庆祝中美洲独立于西班牙周年纪念活动时，鲁比奥赞扬了尼加拉瓜人争取民主的努力，“尽管穆里略-奥尔特加独裁政权采取了残暴的手段试图将其消灭”。

鲁比奥表示：“无论是在国内还是在流亡中，尼加拉瓜人对一个没有暴政的未来的渴望都不能被取消或抹除。”

他在边境巡逻特工逮捕加莱亚诺的一天后发表了上述言论。加莱亚诺搬到佛罗里达州后，每天早晨通过网约车平台开车以抚养两个孩子，下午则录制他的每日 YouTube 节目《Café con Voz》。

国土安全部的一位发言人表示，加莱亚诺被拘留是因为他逾期停留了旅游签证，该签证允许他重新

尼加拉瓜人还被遣送到墨西哥、哥斯达黎加，甚至远至中非共和国。人权第一（Human Rights First）难民与移民权利政策主任萨维·阿尔维（Savi Arvey）表示，这些人在这些国家面临着独特的风险。

在哥斯达黎加，近年来发生的一系列针对尼加拉瓜流亡者的枪击、绑架和杀害事件被怀疑与桑定主义政府的特工有关。

“这个政府在执行这场大规模驱逐行动时如此执迷不悟，以至于公然忽视了当地的实际情况，”阿尔维说道。

尼加拉瓜独立记者与传播者协会主席杰拉尔德·查韦斯（Gerald Chávez）表示，至少有一名曾在美国寻求保护的记者被送往哥斯达黎加；得益于长期的法律斗争以及无国界记者的帮助，该记者避免了被遣返回尼加拉瓜。

近年来，限制新闻自由一直是奥尔特加和穆里略集中权力的基石。

随着政府官员监禁同行、关闭数十家新闻机构并通过法律禁止记者发布未经政府授权的信息，数百名记者选择逃离。一度，奥尔特加甚至禁止报纸进口纸张和油墨。

加莱亚诺——此前曾担任美联社在尼加拉瓜的记者——认为自己有责任揭露他所认为的政府所犯下的不公正行为。

“如果说有什么东西能让那些桑定主义暴徒脱颖而出……那就是直到现在，他们一直享有完全的豁免权，”他在最近的一期 YouTube 节目中说道。

加莱亚诺被捕引发了人权和新闻自由组织的强烈批评，甚至连在佛罗里达州寻求连任的特朗普盟友、共和党众议员玛丽亚·埃尔维拉·萨拉查（María Elvira Salazar）也对此表示谴责。

萨拉查将加莱亚诺描述为一名“为向世界讲述真相而付出了极高代价”的记者。

“美国必须始终懂得如何区分罪犯和政治流亡者，”她在 X 上写道。“路易斯不能最终落入那个迫害他的独裁政权之手。”

欧盟希望与加拿大建立更紧密关系

[加拿大，见 A1]

周四向议会发表讲话。

加拿大前央行行长马克·卡尼（Mark Carney，左图）呼吁与欧盟建立一个“独特的联盟”。

一名熟悉相关讨论的加拿大官员上周表示，渥太华正在探索与欧盟的关系，这种关系可能在距离正式成员身份一步之遥的地方停止。该官员表示，作为更广泛战略伙伴关系的一部分，加拿大将寻求一项允许其公民无需签证即可在欧洲生活和工作的安排。

加拿大拟任欧盟大使乔纳森·威尔金森（Jonathan Wilkinson）周三表示，在冯德莱恩的演讲之前，渥太华已与欧洲官员讨论过准会员（associate membership）身份，并且“知道这是一个摆在桌面上的选项”。他表示，加拿大曾与欧盟讨论过“未来联盟”（Alliance for the Future），而欧洲官员则提出了准会员身份。

威尔金森表示，加拿大并不寻求成为欧盟的正式成员，因为这将要求放弃部分主权。相反，他表示，渥太华希望以一种能够加强而非削弱加拿大主权的方式，“尽可能地接近”该集团。

卡尼的办公室对冯德莱恩的提议表示欢迎，称加拿大正在深化与欧盟的关系以“加强我们的主权”，并支持在 CETA（综合经济贸易协定）之外采取进一步行动。

冯德莱恩表示，扩大后的伙伴关系将涵盖先进制造、技术、国防生产、北极地区、能源、关键矿产、电池、人工智能、量子计算、网络安全和经济安全。

她说：“这是一个并非针对任何其他人的伙伴关系，而是为了我们的共同力量。简而言之，我们希望将与加拿大的关系提升到尽可能高的水平。”

由于加拿大以准会员身份加入欧盟将是一个先例，因此目前还没有关于其运作方式或实际意义的规则手册。目前尚不清楚谁需要批准该会员身份，以及这可能需要多长时间。

威尔金森表示，渥太华和布鲁塞尔正刻意地首先关注关系的实质内容，而非其称呼。“在你真正决定如何称呼某件事之前，你应该先了解它的形态，”他说。

他表示，这种形态可能会在 10 月的加拿大-欧盟峰会上变得更加清晰，届时双方预计将发表公告，并可能就如何描述该关系达成一致。

目前，所有迈向欧盟成员身份的步骤必须获得 27 个成员国的一致批准。

准会员身份的想法过去曾针对乌克兰或脱欧后的英国被提出过，但尚未采取具体步骤。

欧洲议会德国议员托比亚斯·克雷默（Tobias Cremer）表示，加拿大与欧盟的关系已达到一个临界点，双方需要超越辞令，开始构建更具实质性的内容。

来自中左翼社会民主党的克雷默说：“现在是停止互相写情书，并让计划落到实处的时候了。”

他认为，任何新的安排都应该比另一项贸易或国防协议更具雄心，并将目标描述为加拿大与欧盟之间一个更全面的战略联盟。

克雷默表示，像 CETA 这样的现有框架可以提供基础，但应当被更充分地利用并予以扩展。他认为，寻求更紧密关系的理由在日益增加，这不仅是由经济驱动的，同样是由地缘政治驱动的。

他说，最终目标应该比双边安排更宏大——有可能将欧盟定位为中等强国的召集者，这也是卡尼提出过的一个想法。

今年，加拿大成为第一个加入欧盟 $173-billion SAFE 国防计划的非欧洲国家，在欧洲寻求提高国防准备状态之际，这使得加拿大公司能够参与联合采购。

欧洲议会社会民主进步联盟（Socialists & Democrats）主席伊拉切·加西亚·佩雷斯（Iratxe García Pérez）赞扬卡尼展现了“面对唐纳德·特朗普的巨大勇气”，并表示需要盟友共同捍卫“主权、团结和国际法”。

卡尼周二表示，经济一体化曾被广泛视为一种资产，但现在正日益“被某些国家用作武器”。他表示，在10月下旬举行的加拿大-欧盟峰会上，相关讨论将升级。

加拿大已对美国的关税采取报复措施，并拒绝了卡尼认为会削弱其主权的贸易条款。

欧盟在与华盛顿的交往中采取了不同的路线，达成了一项贸易协议，将绝大多数欧盟出口产品的美国关税上限设定为 15%，而欧洲则取消了对美国工业产品的关税。

这种对比一直笼罩在卡尼推动加强与欧洲关系的努力之上。今年1月，在瑞士达沃斯举行的世界经济论坛上，他在一场备受关注的演讲中敦促中等强国在强权竞争时代共同协作，以增加其影响力。

“当我们仅与霸权国家进行双边谈判时，我们是在弱势地位上谈判。我们只能接受对方提供的条件，”卡尼说道。

“这不是主权，”他补充道，“这是在接受从属地位的同时，在表演主权。”

卡尼在达沃斯的演讲遭到了特朗普的个人指责，而冯德莱恩向美国邻国的示好可能会再次升级紧张局势。

众议院第三次投票表决结束伊朗战争

众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（Mike Johnson，共和党-路易斯安那州）决定在周三让议员们提前回家，早于原定计划。 Tom Williams CQ-Roll Call

作者：Lisa Mascaro

华盛顿 —— 美国众议院第三次投票表决结束针对伊朗的战争，通过了一项战争权力决议，旨在停止特朗普总统在未经国会批准的情况下继续采取军事行动的能力。

周二晚些时候的点名投票结果为 220-204，与今年夏天早些时候的尝试类似，有更多共和党人加入了所有民主党人的行列，投票要求结束这场冲突。目前还没有任何一项决议能提交到总统办公桌上，而特朗普几乎肯定会否决该措施。

“还记得唐纳德·特朗普曾说这场战争只会持续几周吗？”众议员塞斯·莫尔顿（Seth Moulton，民主党-马萨诸塞州）说道。他曾在伊拉克战争期间担任海军陆战队成员，并推动了该决议的通过。

他表示，现在是国会“真正提出尖锐问题的时候了，正如宪法指示我们那样，而不是屈从于另一个好战的政府”。

共和党众议员、众议院外交事务委员会主席、来自佛罗里达州的布莱恩·马斯特（Brian Mast）质疑民主党人希望从该地区撤走哪些军事资源，他认为伊朗在该地区仍然是一个威胁。

马斯特表示，特朗普反对“永恒战争，而这正是他正在结束的”——即来自伊朗数十年的敌对行动。

“他们是对美国持续存在的威胁，”马斯特说。“够了就是够了。”

这次行动几乎肯定是在中期选举前众议院对伊朗战争进行的最后一次投票，而海外冲突在政治竞选中发挥着重要作用。特朗普于 2 月 28 日发起的战争一直拖延，双方断断续续地进行致命的导弹袭击，在近七个月的时间里给该地区带来了混乱。

ing。预算办公室预计，由于战争原因，进入 2027 年时的通货膨胀率将比预期高出 0.5 个百分点。

来自密歇根州的汤姆·巴雷特（Tom Barrett）、来自俄亥俄州的沃伦·戴维森（Warren Davidson）、来自宾夕法尼亚州的布莱恩·菲茨帕特里克（Brian Fitzpatrick）以及来自肯塔基州的众议员托马斯·马西（Thomas Massie）与所有民主党人一起，对战争权力决议投了赞成票。

国会曾多次尝试改变针对伊朗战争的轨迹，但只要总统能够抵御或否决这些措施，限制特朗普政府军事行动的努力就依然希望渺茫。

众议院在 6 月首次通过了一项战争权力决议，随后在 7 月又通过了另一项，全部旨在停止美国在伊朗的行动。参议院在第 10 次尝试中也通过了一项结束冲突的战争权力决议，但共和党参议员在特朗普于一次闭门午餐会上斥责他们后，次日迅速改变了立场。

尽管宪法赋予国会宣战的权力，但同时也赋予总统作为三军统帅采取某些军事行动的权力。

在越南冲突之后制定的《战争权力法》试图对总统的权力设定更具体的时间限制，要求在 60 或 90 天后持续采取军事行动必须获得国会批准。

分析称：美国 $177 亿联邦拨款被削减或冻结

作者：迈克·卡塔利尼 (MIKE CATALINI)

根据一家支持民主的非营利组织以及一组研究人员和科学家周三发布的一项追踪工具显示，自总统开启第二任期以来，特朗普政府已削减或冻结了高达 $177 亿的联邦拨款。

“州联合民主中心”（States United Democracy Center）和“拨款见证”（Grant Witness）组织发现，此次削减影响了全部 50 个州以及哥伦比亚特区，其中医疗、营养、环境和灾难救援所占的削减份额最大。

研究人员发现，被取消、冻结或延迟的拨款中，包括与密歇根州孕产妇健康、密西西比州教育研究以及爱荷华州少数族裔农民援助相关的项目。加利福尼亚州、德克萨斯州、纽约州、伊利诺伊州和北卡罗来纳州被中断的拨款金额最高。该追踪工具被命名为“丢失资金”（Lost Funds）。

“通过将特朗普政府造成的数千起资金中断情况汇总到一个公开可访问且经过验证的数据库中，‘丢失资金’将这些影响的规模完整地呈现在大众面前，”Grant Witness 的联合创始人斯科特·德莱尼（Scott Delaney）在的一份声明中表示。

这些团体表示，$177 亿的调查结果约占联邦自由裁量支出的 10%。

该追踪工具的组织者表示，这些被中断的拨款超出了政权更迭时通常会发生的削减规模。

“‘丢失资金’展示了这些中断行为的惊人规模及其对人类造成的真实影响，以及各州如何再次站在前线保护其居民，”州联合民主中心的研究主任凯利·雷德（Kelly Rader）说道。

在某些情况下，法院已裁定政府削减拨款资金的行为违法。

根据这些团体的研究方法，这个向公众开放的新工具依赖于 USASpending.gov 的数据，这是一个联邦支出信息的开放数据源。他们表示，随着政府采取新行动以及诉讼在法院审理，该追踪工具将定期更新。

“州联合”（States United）自称为一个致力于法治以及自由、公正、安全的选举的非党派团体。它由诺姆·艾森（Norm Eisen）共同创立，艾森是一名参与过多起针对特朗普政府重大诉讼的律师，其中包括关于肯尼迪中心的诉讼。艾森于 2021 年离开了州联合。

“拨款见证”（Grant Witness）是由一组科学家、研究人员和律师组成的团体，旨在记录特朗普总统任期内资金的变化情况。

目前已向白宫发送寻求对此分析发表评论的消息。

阿富汗男子因协助恐怖组织被判 20 年监禁

议长迈克·约翰逊（Mike Johnson）周三让议员们回家了，而距离决定国会控制权的选举已不足 50 天，民主党正试图从共和党手中夺回权力。

在之前的众议院行动中，有四名共和党人投票支持停止伊朗战争，但在周二的战争权力投票中，这一数字上升到了 7 人，其中包括来自关键选区艾奥瓦州的共和党议员扎卡里·南（Zachary Nunn）和马里安内特·米勒-米克斯（Mariannette Miller-Meeks），以及即将退休的南卡罗来纳州议员南希·梅斯（Nancy Mace）。

特朗普在赢得白宫第二个任期时曾承诺不会让美国卷入外国战争，而他针对伊朗的行动正给控制众议院和参议院的共和党带来压力。根据 7 月的一项 AP-NORC 调查，大多数美国人认为伊朗战争不值得打。

国会预算办公室周二表示，截至 8 月 1, 日，这场战争的成本已超过 $38 亿，预计每月成本在 $2 亿至 $3 亿之间，具体取决于战斗的激烈程度——

弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚 —— 一名伊斯兰国组织成员周三被判处 20 年监禁，原因是其协助了一个恐怖组织。五年前，在美国军队从该国混乱撤军期间，该组织承认对在喀布尔机场造成 13 名美国军人和约 160 名阿富汗人死亡的自杀式袭击负责。

约翰逊在周二的新闻发布会上承认有必要降低汽油价格。

弗吉尼亚州的一个联邦陪审团在 4 月判定穆罕默德·沙里夫拉（Mohammad Sharifullah）为名为 ISIS-K 的伊斯兰国分支组织提供物质支持。但陪审员无法就他是否对 2021 年 8 月 26, 2021 的机场爆炸案承担部分责任达成一致。

辩护律师写道：“他被带到这里是因为政府认为他参与了艾比门（Abbey Gate）袭击，而这一理论在审判中未能得到证明。”

陪审员判定沙里夫拉为 ISIS-K 提供物质支持。关于机场的任何死亡是否“源于”该阴谋，陪审员陷入僵局。如果陪审团一致决定该问题，沙里夫拉可能面临终身监禁。

特伦加（Trenga）听取了几位美国军人父母的受害者影响陈述。在距离沙里夫拉坐的位置仅几英尺的讲台上，他们轮流向子女的牺牲致敬，并描述这次袭击如何摧毁了他们的家庭。

来自密苏里州的马克·施密茨（Mark Schmitz）在讲述他 20 岁的儿子——海军陆战队下士贾里德·施密茨（Jared Schmitz）的生平与死亡时，要求沙里夫拉转身看着他。

“他被带到这里是因为政府认为他参与了

美国军队当时正在机场执行撤离行动，一名单独的自杀式袭击者在被称为“艾比门”（Abbey Gate）的入口附近引爆了简易爆炸装置。检察官表示，沙里夫拉（Sharifullah）在这次袭击中的角色是为前往哈米德·卡尔扎伊国际机场侦察路线。

据检察官称，沙里夫拉曾告诉一名记者，由于美国在2001年9月11日袭击后入侵了他的国家，他希望“抓捕并杀死来自美国的十字军”。他们表示，沙里夫拉还参与了数十起其他袭击，包括2024年3月一次导致约140人死亡的莫斯科音乐厅袭击事件。

在总统特朗普去年向国会联席会议发表讲话时曾赞扬的一起国际恐怖主义案件中，沙里夫拉因一项罪名被定罪，并被判处最高刑期。

但这位共和党议长表示，他认为随着盟友加强力量帮助稳定该地区，伊朗冲突正进入一个“新阶段”。他说，当这种情况发生时，“正如总统所说，你们将会看到，每当油价再次下跌，杂货的价格也会随之下降。”

沙里夫拉在审判中没有出庭作证，在联邦地区法官安东尼·特伦加（Anthony Trenga）宣布判决前，他拒绝向法庭发表讲话。法官表示，被告是一名“坚定的恐怖分子”，对他所造成的“无法想象”的悲痛和苦难没有表现出任何悔意。

“他们可能夺走了他的生命，但永远无法夺走他的遗产，”施密茨说。“炸弹杀死了我的儿子，但没有杀死他所代表的信念。”

沙里夫拉请求被判处17年监禁，而检察官则寻求20年监禁。他的律师表示，他从未担任过 ISIS-K 的领导职务，且尚未被判定有任何与机场自杀式袭击相关的行为。

约翰逊表示，特朗普预计这种转变将在选举后发生，议长补充道：“我希望今天就能发生。”

辩护律师辩称，除了沙里夫拉在接受联邦调查局（FBI）数小时审问时的自述外，检察官未能提供任何将其与喀布尔爆炸案联系起来的证据。

致命直升机坠毁事故寻求答案

[查茨沃思，见 A1] 在坠毁之前。

直升机坠毁的原因尚不明确。一名调查员表示，答案可能隐藏在飞机的最后一段记录影像中。 凯拉·巴特科夫斯基 (KAYLA BARTKOWSKI) 洛杉矶时报

影像显示了巴士车祸的俯视图，背景中伴随着直升机的旋转声。突然，发动机电机的声音逐渐减弱，随后响起一声喇叭鸣笛，这可能是向飞行员发出警告，提示主旋翼转速过低或直升机失去了液压系统。莫雷诺对这个声音的反应是一句轻声的“噢，糟糕”。

摄像机的角度开始下降，在视频中断前，听到莫雷诺在问：“不能拉升吗？”莫雷诺、马尔西尼以及 29 岁的埃迪·古铁雷斯·梅希亚（在晚上 7 点左右直升机坠落时处于地面）不幸丧生。

“那段视频可能是我们目前 recovered（回收 / 获取）的最重要的证据，”萨拉扎尔说道。

航空专家告诉《时报》，这次坠毁可能是这架 22 年机龄飞机的机械故障所致；由于其整体可靠性，该机型是新闻和执法机构常用的直升机。

佐伊·图尔（Zoey Tur）是一位资深新闻直升机飞行员，曾操作过 NBC4 团队所驾驶的同类直升机，她表示麦克风捕捉到的声音是发动机关闭的声音。

“首先，发动机开始减速，这反过来会降低旋翼叶片的动力。然后你会听到提示旋翼转速（RPM）过低的喇叭警告。你甚至能听到叶片拍击声在变慢，”图尔说道。

但图尔指出，直升机坠毁后引发的火灾表明机上仍有燃料，因此发动机关闭可能是出于其他原因。

杰克·克雷斯（Jack Cress）曾是美国海军陆战队的直升机飞行员，也是南加州大学（USC）航空安全与保障项目的直升机事故调查讲师。他表示，当直升机的旋翼停止旋转时，有一种名为“自旋”（autorotation）的安全操纵动作，飞行员可以通过该动作尝试在旋翼叶片上获得足够的动量和上升气流以增加其转速，从而在飞机下降时帮助控制飞机。

克雷斯将这种操纵比作固定翼飞机利用机翼产生的力量在空中滑翔，但在这种情况下，直升机会利用下降或前行引起的旋翼上升力，使旋翼转速足够快，从而保持飞机的相对控-

制。

但克雷斯表示，直升机当时似乎在空中悬停且处于低空，这将使飞行员难以执行该操纵动作。

“在这种情况下，他处于高度-速度曲线的最糟糕部分，”克雷斯说道，他指的是直升机飞行员用来追踪安全飞行条件下高度和空速的图表。“那是极其危险的位置。”

克雷斯说，直升机飞行员接受过避开这些条件的训练，因为缺乏高度和前向动量意味着如果发动机出现故障，飞行员几乎没有补救措施。但他说，对于新闻直升机和警用直升机来说，悬停并保持低空是常见做法。

杰夫·古泽蒂（Jeff Guzzetti）曾是 NTSB 和 FAA 的调查员，同时也是南加州大学航空安全与保障项目的讲师。他表示，这种在空中悬停、高度较低且没有动量的状态，通常被直升机飞行员称为“死人曲线”（dead man's curve）。

“如果你遇到问题，那是最糟糕的位置，”古泽蒂说道。

根据州政府和 FAA 的记录，这架直升机由 Tiny Bubbles Aviation Inc. 拥有，这是一家控股公司，其商业地址登记在帕科伊马（Pacoima）的怀特曼机场（Whiteman Airport）。该公司被列为至少六架飞机的所有者，其中包括五架直升机。

劳伦斯·韦尔克（Lawrence Welk）在公共记录中被列为 Tiny Bubbles Aviation 的代理人，他同时也是 Welk Aviation 的总裁。根据该公司网站，Welk Aviation 为 KNBC 和 KTLA 拥有并运营新闻直升机。

在周三的一次简短电话采访中，韦尔克向《洛杉矶时报》确认该公司正在配合调查人员工作，但拒绝就此次事件发表评论。

“我刚从事故现场回来，”韦尔克说道。

巴士车祸吸引了大批急救人员和新闻媒体赶赴该地区，包括在空中飞行的电视新闻直升机。居民们聚集在巴士周围，试图弄清楚发生了什么。

随后，所有人听到一声爆炸，并看到几个街区外升起一团火球。许多人跑向那个现场，那里火势汹汹。消防员试图扑灭大火，而警察则将公众和记者挡在外面。随即出现了新闻直升机坠毁的传闻。

NBC4 主播科琳·威廉姆斯（Colleen Williams）告诉观众，电视台已与直升机机组失去联系。晚上 9 点左右，她确认 NBC4 团队已经坠毁。

直升机在梅森大道（Mason Avenue）9100 街区两栋商业建筑之间坠毁，撞上了一对卡车货运集装箱。

这一局面将 NBC4 的团队推入了记者的噩梦——一场记者本身成为新闻一部分的悲剧。

“他们为了服务社区而牺牲了自己的生命，”NBC 早间主播利内特·罗梅罗（Lynette Romero）在共同主播的陪同下告诉观众。“直到最后一刻，他们都坚定且敬业地从事着他们如此热爱的工作。今天早晨我们的心情沉重，但我们与你们同在，我们将与你们一起面对这些悲剧。”

周三，当局宣布逮捕了贝利·琳·里奥斯（Bailee Lynn Rios），称其涉嫌谋杀，当时她驾驶的 SUV 撞上了巴士。

监狱记录显示，36 岁的里奥斯被羁押，保释金为 400 万美元。

洛杉矶警方表示，里奥斯周二下午 5 点左右驾驶一辆灰色的 2004 年款福特 Expedition，在德索托大道（De Soto Avenue）的北向车道上向南行驶，在诺多夫街（Nordhoff Street）闯了红灯。这辆 SUV 险些撞上另一辆通过交叉路口的汽车，随后撞上了 Metro 166 路巴士的侧面。

据警方称，此次碰撞导致一名巴士乘客被甩出车外，另一名乘客部分被甩出。两名乘客在现场死亡，经确认分别为 31 岁的盖奇·韦达（Gage Weida）和来自阿尔莱塔（Arleta）的 46 岁丹尼尔·卡斯蒂略（Daniel Castillo）。

一名受重伤的乘客和另外五名伤势不危及生命的乘客被送往医院。

这一连串事件让居民们感到震惊。“你知道，任何人可能在瞬间就离开了，”温内特卡（Winnetka）居民、物理治疗师迈克尔·桑切斯（Michael Sanchez）说道。

洛杉矶联合学区在校园去留问题上面临艰难抉择

ALLEN J. SCHABEN 洛杉矶时报 学生们在8月经过巴拉克·奥巴马全球预备学院的一幅壁画。

[学校报道，见A1页]

曼迪大道小学（mandie Avenue Elementary）和107街小学（107th Street Elementary）——均位于洛杉矶南部——以及港口地区的纳博恩高中（Narbonne High School）。

最终，为了解决地震安全问题而启动的当前及即将开展的项目，预计成本将超过20 亿美元 billion。

关闭全部或部分校园的紧迫性，可能与提供安全、现代化、资源充足且具有吸引力的教育环境这一同步高优先级目标产生冲突。

这一困境在学区董事会成员尼克·梅尔沃因（Nick Melvoin）和罗西奥·里瓦斯（Rocio Rivas）周二提出的问题中得到了部分体现。

梅尔沃因希望得到保证，即如果学区在获得州政府批准之前就推进项目，是否仍有资格获得州政府的地震建筑资金——该资金可支付学校项目的全部或部分费用。

首席设施执行官克里斯蒂娜·托克斯（Krisztina Tokes）无法提供此类保证，并告知董事会，州政府的地震减灾资金不足且申请过多。

梅尔沃因还好奇，根据州政府的资金决定，或与学校关闭或合并相关的决定，学区在重新考虑或取消项目方面拥有多少灵活性。

托克斯表示，项目可以在后期重新提交给董事会，但她明确表示，一旦董事会批准项目，资金将被支出。

里瓦斯希望得到保证，确认学区工作人员已确保这些项目是值得开展的。

“这四所学校的规模都超过了小学的平均规模，这就是为什么我们放心地将它们提交审核，”托克斯回答道。“这些学校的入学人数在500到over 700之间。”

托克斯补充道：“然后我们与各区域、校长及管理层进行密切沟通，确保我们在建设这些项目时，能够涵盖该学校的所有课程需求。”

鉴于建筑项目需要数年的时间周期，学区设施团队不希望延迟升级那些能让学生立即受益的设施。最近的一个例子是，针对2025年帕利塞德火灾（Palisades fire）中被摧毁或严重损坏的三所学校正在进行的重建工作，该工作在寻求保险资金和联邦援助的同时，使用了债券资金。

学区还在迅速采取行动，以应对许多建于20世纪50年代、60年代和70年代的学校建筑所采用的所谓“举板式”（lift-slab）建筑风格带来的风险。

考虑到学区的冗余容量，其中一个选项是根本不重建其中一些学校。

但学区目前还没有关于将关闭哪些校园的计划。

社区活动人士玛丽亚·路易莎·帕尔马（Maria Luisa Palma）表示，在计划支出数十亿债券资金的过程中，学区官员“尚未发布告知纳税人的报告……说明使用了什么样的入学人数假设，或者考虑了哪些校园合并（如果有的话）”。她的儿子最近刚从该学区的一所学校毕业。“如果没有这些计划在手，公众就无法评估洛杉矶联合学区（LAUSD）是否审慎地使用了选民批准的债券资金，也无法追究其责任。”

董事会成员塔尼娅·奥尔蒂斯·富兰克林（Tanya Ortiz Franklin）表示，这个问题是合理的。“大约一年前我们刚开始讨论这些问题时，我也同样担心在缩减规模的同时进行重建，”她说。

但她已被说服，认为目前批准的项目是恰当的。

“我相信我们在高优先级安全升级、持续的社区参与和长期规模优化之间找到了正确的平衡，”她说。

官员们指出，总体而言，重建工作降低了这些学校的学生容量，这也为更多的开放空间和娱乐区域提供了可能。

根据州教育部的数据，洛杉矶统一学区（L.A. Unified）的学生人数在2003, 达到720,000名K-12学生的峰值后，每年下降约2.3%——但大流行期间以及2025, 第二任特朗普政府执政以来，人数出现了更剧烈的下降。

该系统去年雇佣了约83,000人。

去年的州级数据显示，全区学生人数下降了4.6%，今年的数据尚未公布。

学区的数据则略有不同，因为统计方法和统计日期并不一致。数据显示去年入学人数下降了$3.4%，而这正是学区对今年预计的下降率。然而，在本学年第五周为止，该数字为$4.3%。

根据去年的州级数据，超小型小学包括：蒙特西托高地（Montecito Heights）的格伦阿尔塔（Glen Alta）小学，55名学生；中国城的安街（Ann Street）小学，71名；鹰岩（Eagle Rock）的安嫩代尔（Annandale）小学，78名；以及林肯高地（Lincoln Heights）的希尔赛德（Hillside）小学，96.名。韦斯特切斯特（Westchester）的赖特（Wright）中学人数已降至435名学生。海德公园（Hyde Park）的克伦肖（Crenshaw）高中则为423名学生。

首席财务官萨曼·布拉沃-卡里米（Saman Bravo-Karimi）周二估计，比预期更严重的入学人数下降给今年的预算问题增加了$60-million的障碍。但这在今年$18.4-billion的支出计划中仅占一小部分——该计划与168 亿美元 billion的收入相平衡。赤字部分正由储备金弥补。

布拉沃-卡里米估计，基于目前的保证收入，这个全美第二大教育系统在当前学年结束后还能维持约两年的偿付能力。他的数据已经将未来三年预计超过6,000人的裁员计划考虑在内。

其他方面的进展可能会使情况好转或恶化。

加州教师协会（California Teachers Assn.）周二提起诉讼，原因是州政府扣留了根据州资金法为2025-26 和 2024-25 学年学校预留的近60 亿美元 billion资金。在总额中，有19 亿美元 billion在一年后才支付，但工会希望法院宣布这种延迟——以及未来的延迟——违宪。

作为该州最大的教育系统，洛杉矶统一学区将从这类资金中获得巨额收益——金额可达数亿美元，但这种资金注入无法解决学区的财务问题，也无法弥补入学人数的下降。

而且即使没有这场诉讼，州政府的资金通常每年都会增加。

而在另一个极端，如果州选民未能批准第3, 号提案（Proposition 3）——即拟议的对高收入者征收额外州所得税的永久延期——洛杉矶统一学区每年将损失数亿美元。

查伊特（Chait）和布拉沃-卡里米的观点是，学区规模的缩减是为了加强学术项目，而非为了省钱。

查伊特在周二的会议上指出，小型小学会导致年级合并，而小型高中为学生提供的课程选择较少。

“洛杉矶统一学区如今服务的学生不足400,000名，而我在担任校长时，学生人数超过700,000名，”查伊特在电子邮件中写道。“与此同时，我们继续运营着几乎相同数量的校园。”

国土安全部选民调查可能非法，举报人称

作者：阿里·斯温森 (Ali Swenson)

纽约 —— 根据周一公布的一份举报人声明，特朗普政府在11月选举前为搜寻非公民选民而采取的最后尝试，正要求联邦雇员在选民查询工具中伪造身份，这种行为可能违反了州法律。

该声明警告称，这项被称为“非法选民计划”的国土安全部调查还要求雇员基于不可靠的数据创建关于选民的联邦执法记录。这可能会在官方文件中错误地牵连美国公民，从而引发进一步的调查。

这份近30页的匿名披露文件于周一由纽约州民主党参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默 (Chuck Schumer) 和加利福尼亚州民主党参议员亚历克斯·帕迪拉 (Alex Padilla) 公布，后者是监督联邦选举的参议院委员会的高级成员。

文件中包含国土安全部对一组美国公民及移民服务局工作人员进行培训的截图和记录。文件称，这些工作人员在8月下旬被强制放下其他工作，完成一项不足两小时的培训课程，并开始将国土安全部提供的个人名单通过州选民登记系统进行比对，以寻找“非法选民”。

举报人主张，特工们被要求每天审核40人，这意味着他们只有大约12分钟的时间来确定每个人是否为合法选民，并为任何非合法选民创建联邦记录。

帕迪拉和舒默周一表示，该计划是特朗普总统试图干预选举的一个例子，且如此短的时间表将阻碍官员进行适当的调查。他们指出，国土安全部掌握的选民数据可能不可靠，且与州记录存在差异，这使得任何基于该数据的联邦调查结果都可能存在问题。

“我们刚刚获得了更多证据，证明特朗普在通过卑劣的阴谋操纵我们的选举，”舒默在新闻发布会上告诉记者。“特朗普在即将到来的选举中为了作弊、撒谎和窃取而采取的手段简直是无法容忍的。”

白宫未立即回应置评请求。

特朗普政府一直将目标对准非公民投票，声称这可能是中期选举期间重大舞弊的来源，尽管研究表明非公民投票极其罕见。特朗普一直推动美国邮政局仅向经核实为美国公民的选民发送邮寄选票，且其司法部已提起诉讼，强制要求公布30个州和哥伦比亚特区的详细选民数据，尽管这些案件尚未获胜。

举报人报告详细描述了联邦政府在缺乏州政府数据的情况下，通过指示公民及移民服务局雇员伪装成个人选民以访问其州选民记录，从而试图绕过这一限制的努力。

美联社 RUSTY JONES 举报人报告称，国土安全部的调查可能会错误地牵连美国公民。

一些州（如弗吉尼亚州）明确限制其选民查询工具仅供那些在法律处罚威胁下证明其正在查询自身记录的人员使用。在其他州（如加利福尼亚州），查询个人选民记录需要驾驶执照号码或部分社会安全号码等个人身份识别信息。

举报人表示，当工作人员对违反州指南使用这些工具可能产生的法律责任提出担忧时，机构领导层告诉他们无论如何都要继续进行搜索。

舒默和帕迪拉周日致信国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林 (Markwayne Mullin)，要求提供关于该计划的更多信息并要求停止该计划。

在被问及举报人报告时，一名国土安全部发言人表示，该行动“精准聚焦于起诉并驱逐参与投票的外国人，以防止美国公民的选票被稀释”。

“该部门获取了来自各州选民名册的公开数据，并将其与我们系统中已知的外国人信息进行了交叉比对，”该发言人在一份电子邮件声明中表示。“这并非什么高深科学；这是保障我们选举安全的一个简单步骤。”

针对有关行动时机、培训不足以及给特工设定配额的投诉，该发言人表示，“这些调查工作是在勤勉且专业的情况下进行的，绝非仓促或缺乏培训。”

《纽约时报》在9月初率先报道了国土安全部的这一计划。

周一公布的举报人陈述是由监督团体“民主捍卫者基金”（Democracy Defenders Fund）发布的。该团体表示其代表该举报人作为客户，并称此人选择匿名是因为“极度担心遭到报复，但他们认为有义务就其目睹的违规行为和严重的管理不善发声”。

柯克家人称安保失效导致其被杀

没有进行行李检查或使用金属探测器。

作者：汉娜·舍恩鲍姆（HANNAH SCHOENBAUM）和马修·布朗（MATTHEW BROWN）

盐湖城 —— 查理·柯克（Charlie Kirk）的家人在周三公布的一份错误死亡通知书中，指责犹他州官员未能防止这位保守派活动人士在一家州立大学被杀。该通知预示着可能即将发起的诉讼。

该家庭的律师表示，柯克的死亡源于犹他谷大学（Utah Valley University）官员的一系列“鲁莽决定”，导致他暴露在一名屋顶狙击手的攻击之下。该狙击手于2025年9月10日在400英尺外开出致命一枪。

该大学因在枪击当天缺乏关键安全措施而面临严厉批评。

31岁的柯克当时正在一个被高楼环绕的户外庭院中与学生辩论，现场有数千人参加。美联社在枪击后的审查显示，位于奥勒姆（Orem）的该校园未采取多项公共安全措施，而这些措施已成为全美此类活动的标准保障。

校园警力的配备远低于该规模学校的建议水平。他们也没有派遣无人机监控屋顶，也未与当地执法部门协调以确保这次约3,000人参加的活动安全。现场没有进行行李检查或使用金属探测器。

“考虑到前一年特朗普总统——查理·柯克的亲密朋友和政治盟友——曾遭到屋顶狙击手的暗杀企图，屋顶射手的风险本应被特别重视，”柯克家庭的律师 D. 洛伦·沃什本（D. Loren Washburn）在给州政府和大学官员的通知书中写道。

这份日期为9月9日（即柯克逝世周年日前一天）的文件，是根据州法律在家人提起正式索赔或诉讼前必须采取的步骤。文件中点名了该大学及其时任校长阿斯特丽德·图米内斯（Astrid Tuminez）；校园警察局及其局长杰弗里·隆（Jeffrey Long）；以及犹他州政府。

犹他谷大学的一位发言人表示，学校已知晓该通知，并将“根据既定程序”予以处理。

犹他州总检察长办公室表示，不对潜在的诉讼发表评论。

柯克家人的律师指控官员还存在其他失职行为，包括在批准活动前未进行充分的风险评估，未能建立安全周界，且没有第一响应人员立即就位，导致柯克在被枪击后是由私家车而非救护车送往附近医院的。

“不幸的是，犹他谷大学相关方没有采取任何这些安全措施——而这些步骤只有他们有权采取——导致局面演变为柯克先生在刺客面前毫无还手之力的境地，”沃什本写道。

隆在枪击后表示，他派遣了六名警员负责该活动，并与柯克由八人组成的私人安保团队进行了协调。学校表示，在枪击事件后正在扩大警力。

犹他州居民泰勒·罗宾逊（Tyler Robinson）在柯克被杀一天后自首。检察官称，他告诉自己的情侣，他已经“受够了他的（柯克的）仇恨”。

罗宾逊被指控犯有加重谋杀罪，如果被定罪，他将面临死刑。一名法官在9月1日下令该案进入审判程序。目前尚未确定开庭日期。

检察官在7月的初步听证会上提交了他们认为是对罗宾逊具有压倒性的证据。其中包括罗宾逊在校园内的监控视频，以及一张他涉嫌留给情侣的手写便条，上面写着：“我有机会除掉查理·柯克，而我这么做了。”

新诉讼要求归还艺术品

[艺术品报道，接 A1 版]

卡米耶·毕沙罗。这幅画现在的价值高达数百万美元。她的孙子克劳德·卡西雷尔（Claude Cassirer）已移居加利福尼亚州，他与曾孙大卫·卡西雷尔（David Cassirer）在过去二十年里一直致力于要求马德里的蒂森-博内米萨收藏馆（Thyssen-Borne-misza Collection）归还这幅画作。

在这场斗争期间，加州立法者修订了州法，明确规定在加州与其他司法管辖区关于被掠夺艺术品的法律发生冲突时，适用加州法律，且无论时间流逝多久，都要求将艺术品归还给原主。

在一次罕见的跨党派协作中，国会随后通过了自己的法案——《2025年大屠杀被没收艺术品追回法》（Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2025），以进一步支持此类家庭的索赔请求。

这两起新诉讼——均未提供涉事艺术品的估值——是在加州法律规定的针对已知存放地艺术品索赔的截止日期前提交的。

大卫·卡西雷尔表示，如果他的父亲知道一项部分为了响应其家族斗争而通过的加州法律，也给了其他家庭另一个机会“来证明其祖先艺术遗产的正当性”，他一定会感到“极其自豪”。

来自加州本洛蒙德（Ben Lomond）的米歇尔·巴比特·凯恩（Michele Babbitt Kane）和来自拉斯维加斯的卡琳·温迪·巴比特（Karin Wendy Babbitt）在诉讼中称，门格勒要求她们的母亲交出涉事的七幅水彩画——每幅画都描绘了一名后来被谋杀的罗姆人囚犯），以支持他研究罗姆人的“伪科学”和种族主义著作。门格勒被称为“死亡天使”，曾在奥斯威辛集中营对囚犯进行残酷的医学实验。

她们表示，其母亲出于“对受试者的深切同情”而被迫服从，条件是门格勒“让她和她的母亲免于进入毒气室”。

诉讼称，在获得解放后，她们的母亲移居加州，在米高梅（MGM）和华纳兄弟（Warner Bros.）等好莱坞工作室担任了近 20 年的动画助理，参与创作了诸如路跑者（Wile E. Coyote）、翠儿（Tweety）、达菲鸭（Daffy Duck）和快腿冈萨雷斯（Speedy Gonzales）等广为人知的卡通角色。

她们表示，她们的情况正是加州新法颁布旨在允许处理的典型案例

奥斯威辛水彩画

——涉及“一个加利福尼亚州家庭寻求追回其犹太母亲在奥斯威辛集中营被纳粹强迫创作的水彩画，尽管该博物馆多次承认该家庭拥有权利，但波兰国家博物馆数十年来一直扣押这些作品。”

奥斯威辛纪念馆发言人帕维尔·萨维茨基（Paweł Sawicki）在给《时报》的一份声明中表示，巴比特（Babbitt）的画作“必须留在纪念馆中，作为门格勒罪行记录的一部分”，且罗姆人社区中的许多人对此表示赞同。

“我们完全理解迪娜·戈特利博娃（Dina Gottliebova）家人对其在约瑟夫·门格勒（Josef Mengele）命令下、且在肯定影响了她生活的环境下创作的作品所持有的情感态度，但在履行我们的法定职责时，我们深信这些水彩画应留在纪念馆，”萨维茨基说。“这些罗姆受害者的肖像画是门格勒在进行其犯罪实验过程中所做记录中仅存的少数碎片。因此，它们应被视为与奥斯威辛历史相关的独特文献。”

《亚当与夏娃》 双联画

根据犹太联合会的诉讼，这幅《亚当与夏娃》画作曾是赫尔曼·戈林（Hermann Göring，阿道夫·希特勒的二把手）从著名荷兰犹太艺术商雅克·古德斯蒂克（Jacques Goudstikker）处没收的大量藏品的一部分。该藏品后来由盟军收回并交给荷兰政府，这幅双联画于1971年被出售给诺顿·西蒙（Norton Simon）。

诉讼称，古德斯蒂克的幸存继承人马雷·冯·萨赫尔（Marei von Saher）长期以来一直寻求追回古德斯蒂克藏品，并在多年前成功迫使荷兰政府归还了仍由其持有的200件作品。她于2000年首次向诺顿·西蒙要求归还《亚当与夏娃》画作。

新诉讼称，冯·萨赫尔周一将其对这些画作主张的权利转让给了格里奇曼（Gryczman）和犹太联合会。犹太联合会在一份声明中表示，他们将把追回画作所得的大部分资金用于“照顾生活在贫困中的洛杉矶地区大屠杀幸存者”。

冯·萨赫尔的女儿夏琳·冯·萨赫尔（Charlène von Saher）在一次采访中表示，由于这一共同使命，她的家人将画作权利交给了犹太联合会。她说，她希望加利福尼亚州和国会能更早采取行动，但希望现在的胜利能帮助其他犹太家庭夺回本就属于他们的财产。“我的祖父在逃离纳粹入侵时失去了生命，他的许多家人被送往奥斯威辛且未能幸存，”她说。“胜利将意味着正义，也是恢复我祖父遗产及其藏品这一拼图的一块。”

诺顿·西蒙艺术基金会在给《时报》的一份声明中表示，它正在审查这起新诉讼，但包括美国最高法院在内的各级法院在数十年的诉讼中已确认，该基金会对这幅双联画“拥有合法所有权”，且基金会“将继续向公众开放这些重要的艺术作品”。

毕沙罗的画作

蒂森-博内米萨收藏馆及其所有者西班牙王国，自已故的克劳德·卡西雷尔于 2005. 年首次起诉要求归还这幅毕沙罗画作以来，一直与卡西雷尔家族的索赔主张作斗争。西班牙方面辩称，这幅画作在 1993 年由汉斯·海因里希·冯·蒂森-博内米萨男爵出售给该国之前，已由该收藏馆合法获得。这位多产的艺术收藏家出身于富有的工业家家庭，其家族曾资助希特勒的崛起。

此事多次在包括最高法院在内的美国法院之间周转，最高法院鉴于加利福尼亚州的新法律，将此案发回下级法院进行进一步审查。听证会定于下个月举行。

博物馆主张该法律违宪，而加利福尼亚州对此持有异议。大卫·卡西雷尔则认为，该法律明确要求博物馆归还画作——并承诺将任何收益用于支持其他掠夺艺术品的受害者。

他表示，加利福尼亚州和国会“采取了果断行动，以确保被盗艺术品的受害者，特别是政治迫害的受害者，能够有机会公平地追回纳粹试图残酷摧毁的家族遗产”，并且“各级政府支持归还的势头令人鼓舞”。

保罗·桑西亚（PAUL SANCYA）美联社 马萨诸塞州州长莫拉·希利（Maura Healey）提出的建议是在杀害其子女的林赛·克兰西（Lindsay Clancy）审判之后提出的。

呼吁改善产后护理

作者：利亚·威灵汉姆（Leah Willingham）

波士顿 —— 马萨诸塞州州长莫拉·希利周二表示，该州的新父母应当获得更好的支持和产后护理。此前，林赛·克兰西经历了一场备受关注的谋杀案审判，其律师辩称，克兰西在 2023 年杀害其三个孩子时，正遭受未治疗的产后精神病之苦。

希利建议为所有拥有新生儿的父母提供免费的护士家访，并更新关于新母亲心理健康筛查的管理条例。

“对于每一位在怀孕前、怀孕期间或产后在心理健康方面挣扎的母亲，我想让你们知道，我们看到了你们——我看到了你们，”希利在访问波士顿贝斯以色列女执事医疗中心（Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center）期间说道。

“我们需要更公开地讨论这个问题，”希利表示。她在 2024 年签署了一项孕产妇健康法案，扩大了获得助产士、接生婆和分娩中心的渠道，并要求保险公司覆盖产后抑郁症筛查。

克兰西的律师辩称，这位马萨诸塞州的母亲因产后精神病而不能对其杀害子女的行为承担刑事责任，而检察官则表示，证据表明她知道自己的行为是错误的。

由于陪审员无法达成一致裁决，该案被宣布为无效审判。

民主党人希利表示，她计划请求州立法者批准 200万美元，用于一项旨在为马萨诸塞州每年约 68,000 名新生儿家庭提供家访的计划。没有家庭被强制要求参与，但参与者可以接受护士访问，并就喂养、睡眠和新生儿护理提出疑问。护士还将监测母亲的产后健康，并筛查抑郁症及其他心理问题。

希利表示，这将是州政府首次对一项联邦资助计划进行投资，该计划目前每年为约 3,000 个家庭提供护士家访。

希利还建议向马萨诸塞州母亲儿童精神病学获取计划（Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Program for Moms）投资 $250,000。

苏门答腊虎幼崽带来一线希望

雅典附近一家动物园诞生的三只幼崽，旨在防止这一极危物种灭绝

作者：DEREK GATOPOULOS 和 THANASSIS STAVRAKIS 发自希腊斯帕塔

世界上最濒危的老虎在希腊组建了家庭，为这种在野外迅速消失的掠食者带来了希望。

作为建立备份种群全球努力的一部分，三只 2 个月大的苏门答腊虎幼崽在雅典附近的一家动物园接种了首次疫苗并植入了身份识别微芯片。

苏门答腊虎被列为极危物种，仅分布在印度尼西亚的苏门答腊岛上，该岛面积略大于瑞典。

据信，由于激进的森林砍伐，野外仅存 400 只左右。该物种与南中国虎和马来亚虎一样，均处于严重风险类别。

“苏门答腊虎是世界上最受威胁的老虎物种之一，在所有猫科动物中也是如此，”阿提卡动物园的猫科和猴类首席饲养员 Theodoros Babilis 表示。

他表示，欧洲及其他地区的动物园正在维持一个安全种群，“以便未来有可能将该物种重新引入野外。”

苏门答腊虎是世界上体型最小的老虎物种，但成年雄性仍可长至 8.4 英尺，体重可达 300 磅。

它们是出色的游泳者和攀爬者，利用其深色条纹（每只动物的条纹都像指纹一样独一无二）在茂密的森林中潜伏，猎杀鹿、野猪和小型哺乳动物。

Babilis 表示，即使只有 2 个月大，幼崽已经长出了锋利的爪子和牙齿，这使得处理它们成为一项挑战。

这些幼崽于 7 月初出生，母亲是 Toba，父亲是 Argos（后者已死于癌症）。动物园工作人员表示，幸存的幼崽预计将以荷马史诗《奥德赛》中的角色命名。

这三只幼崽包括两只雄性和一只雌性，在接种疫苗期间表现得十分不安。兽医人员需要协助才能完成操作，通过电动车用运输笼将动物来回运送。

动物园和野生动物兽医 Arsenoi Psaroudaki 博士表示，照顾这些动物是一项艰巨的工作。

“老虎不喜欢被触碰。它们非常野性，”她解释说，工作人员必须快速操作以减轻它们的压力。

幼崽植入了记录在共享数据库中的微芯片，并接种了一种类似于普通猫用疫苗的疫苗，可预防三种疾病。

对于 Psaroudaki 来说，这项工作也很有成就感，因为它为“保护这些极其罕见的猫科动物提供了一些希望”。

她补充道：“能够与世界上最稀有的老虎物种一起工作，让我感到非常谦卑。”

BioNTech 在本周发布的一份新闻稿中称，接受 gotistobart 治疗的患者中位生存期为 18.5 个月，而接受标准护理化疗的患者则为 10 个月。这一更新结果来自一项后期研究，该研究评估了转移性鳞状非小细胞肺癌患者的情况，这些患者在之前接受免疫疗法和化疗时病情有所进展。

早前的数据显示，与化疗相比，gotistobart 将死亡风险降低了 54%，尽管当时尚未达到中位总生存期。

“目前使用既有疗法的生存预期仍不足一年，尽管进行了大量的研发努力，但在这种情况下，化疗在 19 年来一直维持着标准护理的地位，”该试验的主要研究员兼医学肿瘤专家 Rama Balaraman 表示。

Balaraman 补充说，如果生存获益在后期研究的下一阶段得到确认，该药物可能会提供一种无需化疗的选择，并为这些患者“改变标准护理”。

随着其新冠疫苗销售额的下降，这些结果增强了 BioNTech 在 2030 年前将多种癌症药物推向市场的努力。

该公司上个月遭遇了挫折，当时它放弃了一项针对结直肠癌患者的个性化疫苗研究。此前，竞争对手 Moderna Inc. 和 Merck & Co. 在治疗黑色素瘤的同类疗法上取得成功，曾提高了人们对 mRNA 疗法的期望。

在 gotistobart 项目上，BioNTech 正与美国公司 OncoC4 合作。该药物旨在通过清除帮助肿瘤逃避人体防御的细胞，从而帮助免疫系统攻击癌症。BioNTech 表示，该药物的安全性特征与“此前报告的数据一致，且处于可控状态”。

智利已消除犬传人类狂犬病

作者：Nayara Batschke

智利圣地亚哥 —— 世界卫生组织周一表示，经过五十多年的公共卫生“预防与监测”，智利已成为南美洲第一个消除犬传人类狂犬病的国家。

世卫组织表示，最后一例报告的犬传人类狂犬病病例发生在 1972 年。

世卫组织总干事 Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus 在一份声明中说：“这一验证反映了数十年来致力于保护社区免受狂犬病侵害的承诺，并证明了对公共卫生持续投资的影响。智利的成功为致力于终结这种可预防疾病导致人类死亡的国家提供了宝贵经验。”

根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据，狂犬病通过受感染动物的唾液传播，通常是通过咬伤。然而，如果唾液进入眼睛、鼻子或口腔，病毒也可能感染人体。狂犬病在初始症状出现后几乎总是致命的，但可以通过疫苗接种、有效的监测以及及时获得暴露后预防措施来预防。

智利长期以来一直维持一项侧重于预防和监测的公共卫生政策以对抗该疾病。世卫组织表示，相关努力包括针对宠物的广泛疫苗接种活动，以及为可能接触过病毒的人员提供疫苗。

“这些行动得到了上门犬类疫苗接种活动、管理犬类种群的特定措施以及社区意识的补充

认为自己需要阿尔茨海默病检测？请关注这些方面

作者：劳兰·尼尔加德 (LAURAN NEERGAARD)

华盛顿 —— 对于担心晚年患上认知障碍症的人来说，能够在症状出现前数年预测阿尔茨海默病的新型血液检测听起来可能非常有吸引力。但医生表示，这些检测尚未完全准备好 —— 而且，即使没有检测，你也可以降低患病风险。

美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）已批准四项血液检测，旨在帮助医生诊断某人的记忆问题或其他认知症状是由阿尔茨海默病引起，而非其他类型的认知障碍症或其他原因。一些实验室和在线服务也提供自有的检测项目。更快速的诊断可以帮助早期阿尔茨海默病患者获得相关药物，从而适度减缓症状的恶化。

然而，认知障碍症专家表示，即使没有症状的人也在寻求这些检测，尽管这些检测尚未获得批准，也不被推荐用于此类人群。

亚利桑那州 Banner Health 的检测专家尼古拉斯·阿什顿（Nicholas Ashton）强调，目前，除了参与研究项目外，“那些过度担忧的健康人群不应进行这些检测”。

相反，人们应该关注那些可能预防的大脑风险。一项大规模研究发现，中年时期没有高血压、糖尿病且不吸烟的人，其无认知障碍症生存时间比 50 多岁时同时患有这三种健康问题的人长得多 —— 长了近 13 年。

该研究的高级作者、纽约大学朗格尼医学中心（NYU Langone Health）的约瑟夫·科雷什（Josef Coresh）博士建议：“采取积极措施。”即使是推迟这些风险状况的出现，“也会带来巨大的回报”。

检测能做什么，不能做什么

像许多目睹过亲人死于阿尔茨海默病的人一样，马克·约斯特（Mark Yost）虽然没有症状，但也在担心自己的风险。

“我想知道我的状态，”来自凤凰城的 60 岁约斯特说。而且如果出现了问题迹象，“我想知道能采取什么措施来避免它或减缓它的进程。”

目前尚不清楚阿尔茨海默病的具体成因，但其标志性特征是两种蛋白质的异常形式。粘性的 beta-淀粉样蛋白在数十年间可积聚成阻塞大脑的斑块，最终引发导致症状的、杀伤神经元的 tau 蛋白缠结。测量一种名为 p-tau217 的 tau 蛋白的血液检测，在反映有症状患者的淀粉样蛋白积聚方面似乎效果尤为出色。虽然检测结果为阴性在告知某人没有问题方面似乎相当可靠，但阳性结果有时会出现误报。

约斯特自愿参加了 Banner 的一项血液检测研究，该研究包括认知功能正常的人群。他得知自己的结果是“中等”，可能存在一些淀粉样蛋白，但尚未达到令人担忧的“升高”水平。

约斯特发现这种不确定性“有点令人失望”，认为这是随着年龄增长需要关注的事项，同时他也在采取有利于大脑健康的措施，如锻炼以及从事具有精神刺激作用的家谱研究爱好。

更健康的生活习惯

去年的一项重大试验发现，更健康的生活习惯可以减缓具有认知障碍症高风险成年人的年龄相关性认知能力下降。相关措施包括：每周四次、每次半小时的中等强度运动；每周两次的抗阻训练；以及遵循 MIND 饮食法（该饮食法强调摄入绿叶蔬菜、浆果、全谷物、禽类和鱼类）。

认知障碍症专家还建议保证充足的睡眠、避免社交孤立、治疗听力损失，并锻炼大脑而不仅仅是身体。他们表示，中年时期是采取行动的关键时期。

美联储加息将如何影响信用与贷款

作者：保罗·怀斯曼 (Paul Wiseman)

美联储刚刚提高了资金成本 —— 这对借款人来说是坏消息，对储蓄者来说则是好消息。

美联储周三将基准利率提高了 0.25 个百分点，这是自 2023 年夏天以来的首次加息。此次加息可能会增加住房、汽车及其他消费的借贷成本。但如果你一直在存钱，你的储蓄可能会获得稍高一些的利息。

此次上调将美联储的目标利率区间提升至 3.75% 到 4.00%。

为什么美联储在加息？

简短的回答是：通货膨胀。

五年多以来，通货膨胀率一直高于美联储 2% 的目标。劳工部周五报告称，8 月份消费者价格较去年同期上涨 3.4%，而月度涨幅从 7 月起翻了两番，达到 0.4%。

美联储的目标是通过提高借贷成本来减缓消费者和企业的支出，从而降低对房屋、汽车以及其他商品和服务的需求，最终使经济冷却并减轻价格上涨的压力。

自 5 月起担任美联储主席的凯文·沃什（Kevin Warsh）向国会保证，中央银行的政策制定者“对持续高企的通货膨胀零容忍”。

谁会受到影响？

任何借钱进行大宗购买（如房屋、汽车或大型家电）的人最终可能都会受到冲击。对于已经在支付信用卡债务利息的消费者来说，新利率还将增加每月还款额和成本。

不过，在线贷款市场 LendingTree 的首席消费者金融分析师马特·舒尔茨（Matt Schulz）表示，“现实情况是，单次 0.25 个百分点的加息实际上不会产生巨大影响。”但如果周三的加息标志着一系列加息的开始，情况就不同了。舒尔茨说：“当这些加息随着时间的推移而累积，并增加到一定规模时，才会对人们产生实质性影响。”

目前，美国家庭债务还款额占税后收入的比例整体较低。因此，即使借贷利率上升，许多家庭可能不会立即感受到更沉重的债务负担。

债务仍在继续增长。尽管在财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）下令美国回购政府债券以试图压低收益率后，财政部进行了干预，但国债收益率仍继续上升。

储蓄者能获益吗？

抵押贷款买家房地美（Freddie Mac）表示，基准 30 年期固定利率抵押贷款利率上周升至 6.76%，为 14 个多月以来的最高水平。

信用卡利率如何？

大多数信用卡采用浮动利率，追踪银行向其最佳客户收取的优惠利率（prime rate）。波士顿美联储的研究人员在 3 月份写道，当美联储提高或降低其基准“联邦基金”利率时，优惠利率会在一个月内迅速做出反应，“这意味着美联储的政策变化会迅速传导至信用卡利率”。

LendingTree 的舒尔茨估计，大多数持卡人在未来几个月内将看到其利率上涨 0.25 个百分点。

汽车贷款也是如此吗？

美联储通过影响优惠利率来间接影响汽车贷款利率。汽车，尤其是新车，价格已经高得令人望而却步。根据 Kelley Blue Book 的数据，上个月新车的平均成本上涨至 \$50,089。根据 Edmunds 的数据，上个月新车的平均贷款利率为 7%，二手车为 10.6%。Experian 报告称，2026 年第二季度的平均每月还款额为 \$765。

Wiseman 为美联社（Associated Press）撰稿。

舒尔茨说：“大多数美国人的情况总体还不错。但只要有一点变动，他们就可能变得‘不错’不起来。人们的财务容错空间通常很小，而绝大多数物品成本的上涨只会让他们压力越来越大。”

很有可能。周三的举措可能意味着储蓄账户和定期存款（CD）的利率将走高。信用报告机构 Experian 表示，美联储不设定储蓄账户和定期存款的利率，但它为这些利率“定调”。

根据圣路易斯联邦储备银行公布的 FDIC 数据，当中央银行在 2022 年 3 月开始加息以对抗通货膨胀时，1 年期定期存款的平均利率停留在 0.15%。到 2024 年 9 月，该利率飙升至 1.88%，此后一直保持在 1.5% 以上。上个月的利率为 1.71%。

在线银行和其他提供高收益储蓄账户的机构通常会激烈地竞争存款人。（它们有时要求更高额的存款。）

抵押贷款利率会如何变化？

抵押贷款利率并不一定会遵循美联储的举措，至少不是直接遵循。它们往往倾向于追踪 10 年期国债收益率。对于购房者而言，不幸的是，10 年期收益率一直在飙升。由于对能源价格上涨和大规模政府支出感到不安，周一的收益率自 2023 年以来首次突破 $5\%$。

派拉蒙与邦塔被要求会面并讨论和解方案

作者：MEG JAMES

派拉蒙-天空之舞（Paramount Skydance）将于下月与加利福尼亚州总检察长罗布·邦塔（Rob Bonta）的代表会面，进行法院命令的和解谈判，这可能会为大卫·埃利森（David Ellison）以 $111-billion 收购华纳兄弟探索公司（Warner Bros. Discovery）扫清障碍。

根据本周提交的法院文件，双方将于 10 月 14 日和 10 月 15, 日举行两天的会议。

此次谈判正值双方寻求解决这场关于好莱坞行业重塑交易的激烈争端之际。该交易将使 HBO、CBS、CNN、TBS、Food Network、Comedy Central 以及派拉蒙和华纳兄弟工作室统一在同一管理之下。邦塔和其他 11 位民主党州总检察长于 7 月提起诉讼以阻止该交易，而埃利森的团队一直在向邦塔施加政治压力，迫使其撤退。

上个月，在初步细节和基本规则泄露后，邦塔取消了一次会议，并指责派拉蒙违反保密协议并传播虚假信息，是在“玩游戏”。

邦塔针对派拉蒙的案件似乎引起了特朗普政府的不满。在司法部（DOJ）在未要求任何让步的情况下批准该合并案一个月后，邦塔提起诉讼——邦塔表示，这一决定表明联邦官员没有履行执行反垄断法的职责。本周，司法部表态支持派拉蒙。

“美国执行联邦反垄断法，并对其正确应用持有浓厚兴趣，”司法部在周二的一份文件中表示，并描述了其提起反垄断诉讼的独特地位。其“利益声明”认为，原告是以“私人身份”提起诉讼，必须跨越比联邦政府更高的门槛。

该部门还请求法官强制加利福尼亚州、其他州以及美国编剧工会（Writers Guild of America）缴纳 $1.88-billion 保证金，用于支付如果交易在 10 月 1. 日前未能最终敲定，派拉蒙将欠华纳兄弟探索公司股东的费用。派拉蒙今年同意了这种所谓的“滴答费用”（ticking fees），因为其自信该交易将顺利通过监管审查。邦塔的办公室周三表示，它坚持之前的文件，认为其不应缴纳该保证金。听证会定于 9 月 24 日举行。

派拉蒙的首席法律官马坎·德尔拉希姆（Makan Delrahim）一直在主导针对华纳兄弟探索公司的行动。他在特朗普的第一任政府中担任反垄断主管，当时他领导了一次阻止 AT&T 收购该公司（当时名为时代华纳公司 Time Warner Inc.）的失败尝试。那次 2018 年的交易是两次收购中的第一次，使华纳兄弟陷入了不稳定、战略失误和巨额债务的困境，从而为派拉蒙的收购铺平了道路——这将标志着这家历史悠久的工作室在十年内第三次易主。

在重启 CBS 新闻（其导致“60 分钟”的收视率下降）之后，特朗普一直渴望埃利森能整顿华纳旗下的 CNN。

埃利森的公司已获得 65 个以上国际监管机构的批准，派拉蒙预计由特朗普任命的美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）领导层将批准一项外资所有权安排，该安排将使中东王室在合并后的公司中持有近 $50 equity stake。邦塔的诉讼是完成交易的最后一个障碍。

艾美奖收视率下降 10% 至 670 万 观众

此次电视转播的观众人数为历史第三低，扭转了前两年的上升趋势。

作者：STEPHEN BATTAGLIO

根据尼尔森（Nielsen）的数据，在连续两年增长之后，周一在 NBC 播出的第 78 届艾美奖电视转播收视率下降了 10% 至 670 万 观众。

这场在洛杉矶孔雀剧院（Peacock Theater）举行、由《法律与秩序：特殊受害者单元》主演玛丽斯卡·哈吉泰（Mariska Hargitay）主持的颁奖典礼，创下了艾美奖电视转播史上第三低的观众人数。

NBC 在 2022 年的转播观众人数为 590 万，而历史最低点出现在 2024, 年 1 月，当时在 Fox 观看的人数为 430 万。由于 2023 年演员和编剧的罢工，Fox 的转播被推迟了几个月。

尽管艾美奖节目在过去两年有所回升，但电视转播仍面临挑战，因为整体趋势是观众倾向于在社交媒体上观看片段，而跳过颁奖礼的电视转播。

艾美奖并非今年唯一出现观众人数下降的奖项。

1 月在 CBS 播出的金球奖转播人数同比下降 7% 至 869 万 观众。ABC 在 3 月播出的奥斯卡奖吸引了 1789 万 观众，较 2025 年下降了 9%。

艾美奖颁奖典礼最终可能会转移到流媒体服务平台，因为电视艺术科学学院（Television Academy）正与 Amazon Prime Video 洽谈转播事宜。近年来，该典礼在 ABC、CBS、NBC 和 Fox 这四大广播网络之间轮流播出。

在 ABC 播出数十年后，奥斯卡奖已经承诺在 2029 年将转播移至 YouTube。

在第 78 届艾美奖的观众见证下，Apple TV 系列剧《寡妇湾》（Widow’s Bay）获得了最佳喜剧奖，该剧总共获得了 14 项艾美奖，创下了喜剧类纪录。HBO Max 的高能量医疗剧《匹兹堡》（The Pitt）连续第二年获得最佳剧集奖。

典礼包括一段冗长的缅怀环节，以及对歌手多莉·帕顿（Dolly Parton）、导演罗布·赖纳（Rob Reiner）和演员凯瑟琳·奥哈拉（Catherine O'Hara）的个人致敬。演员迈克尔·J·福克斯（Michael J. Fox）因与帕金森病的斗争目前需使用轮椅，他被授予了鲍勃·霍普人道主义奖。

流媒体横扫奖项——节目也将迁移？

作者：STEPHEN BATTAGLIO

在周一举行的第78届艾美奖中，除了一个奖项外，其余所有奖杯均由流媒体平台播出的节目获得。

现在，颁奖典礼本身可能也将转向流媒体。

据知情人士透露，电视艺术科学学院（Television Academy）正在洽谈将这一年度节目移至 Amazon Prime Video。这一变动将结束该庆典在四大主要广播网络之间轮流播出的传统。

《Variety》率先报道了亚马逊的兴趣。电视学院的一位代表表示：“我们正在进行对话，一旦有可宣布的消息，我们会及时公布。”

如果学院决定迁移，艾美奖将成为第二个转向流媒体的主要娱乐业颁奖礼。电影艺术与科学学院正准备结束与 ABC 的长期合作，并将奥斯卡奖的电视转播于 2029 年移至 YouTube。

与大多数现场颁奖礼一样，艾美奖已不再像以前那样具有强大的收视吸引力，尤其是在年轻观众中，他们更倾向于在社交媒体上观看演讲片段和红毯入场视频。近年来，该典礼的观众人数维持在 800 万 左右。

艾美奖可能转向亚马逊的一个原因是，ABC、CBS、NBC 和福克斯（Fox）对必须制作并承载一场转播感到不满，因为这场转播已变成了一场时长三小时以上的商业广告，为 Netflix、HBO Max 和 Apple TV 等流媒体竞争对手打广告，而这些平台在吸引艾美奖投票者的精品节目上投入了远多于广播网络的资源。

典礼中向广播网络节目致敬的部分往往带有怀旧色彩。在周一 NBC 的呈现中，唯一登上舞台的广播网络获奖者是被取消节目的 CBS 深夜节目主持人斯蒂芬·科尔伯特（Stephen Colbert）。

“投入很大，但回报很少，”一位未获授权公开评论此事的广播网络高管表示。

然而，将一个庆祝电视艺术的颁奖礼放在一个设有付费墙的流媒体平台上呈现，将是一个重大的象征性声明，意味着网络电视的传统观看方式已失去了文化相关性。

转向流媒体意味着艾美奖将失去承办网络提供的支持。版权持有者通常会在附属电视台和早间节目片段中播出推广该节目的特别节目，尽管随着传统观看人数的减少，这些优势在近年来已变得不再重要。

Netflix 近年来曾探讨竞标艾美奖的版权，但该流媒体公司未能达成一项在经济上合理的协议。据报道，上一份合同的版权费每年约为 $800 万。

Netflix 确实接手了美国演员工会奖（现称为演员奖，Actor Awards），但该奖项的知名度不如艾美奖或奥斯卡奖。

在追求现场活动方面，Amazon Prime Video 是最激进的流媒体平台，但主要集中在体育领域。Prime 承载了 NFL 的“周四橄榄球之夜”套餐以及 NBA 的很大一部分电视版权。

该流媒体公司确实在 2022 年获得了乡村音乐学院奖的版权。

派拉蒙出资购买“独立”报告

大卫·埃利森（DAVID ELLISON），派拉蒙（Paramount）的老板，正努力促成对华纳兄弟探索公司（Warner Bros. Discovery）的收购。

你可能听说过，派拉蒙-天舞（Paramount-Skydance）拟议中的 $111-billion 收购华纳兄弟探索公司的计划将使南加州电影业获益。或者，如果交易未能达成，对当地经济造成的损害将是巨大的。又或者，即便交易达成，对经济而言未必是好事。

在这方面，就像许多其他合并之战一样，这次事件产生的混乱多于真相。

目前，该交易处于停滞状态，这在很大程度上是因为加利福尼亚州和其他 11 个州提起的一项旨在阻止该交易的诉讼。奥克兰的美国地方法院法官阿拉塞利·马丁内斯-奥尔金（Araceli Martínez-Olguín）已将审理日期定在 March 2. 但派拉蒙面临着更紧迫的期限——如果交易在 Oct. 1, 前未能完成，它将向华纳股东支付每天约 700万美元 的“滴答费”（ticking fee）作为延迟补偿。

加州总检察长罗布·邦塔（Rob Bonta）表示，他愿意与派拉蒙就一些让步方案进行谈判，如果对方同意，他将撤销诉讼。但他对派拉蒙所谓的私下操纵行为感到恼火。

与此同时，关于交易达成或失败影响的猜测层出不穷。最近的一项猜测来自一个自称能提供冷静、专业经济分析的组织。

这就是洛杉矶县经济发展公司（Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp.，简称 LAEDC），一家与该县有关联的非营利组织。该公司称，完成合并将在未来五年内为该州带来高达 10.1 亿美元 billion 的经济增长；而如果交易崩溃，在未来的无限期内，该州每年将损失高达 212 亿美元 billion。

这些数字来自一份泄露给 Politico 的 LAEDC 报告草案。草案中没有提到的是，该报告是由派拉蒙委托编写的。显然，这使得其结论令人怀疑。但这也让 LAEDC 成了混淆合并交易真相的共犯。

唉，这种以客观分析为掩护的自利财务研究并不新鲜，也并不罕见。大企业经常委托此类研究，然后将结果作为其自身政策和实践的验证来大肆宣传。

这种情况已经到了无法准确评估那些听起来很官方的统计数据的地步。早在 2024, 我就报道过快餐业通过加州商业与工业联盟（California Business and Industrial Alliance）投放的广告，宣传相关数据称加州针对快餐员工的最低工资法导致 10,000 个快餐岗位流失。不幸的是，该统计数据是基于一个数学错误和其他纯粹的胡说八道；事实上，在研究期间，快餐业的就业人数反而有所增加。

LAEDC 本身对这种行为并不陌生。In 2011, 该公司发布的一项研究声称，旨在防止制作外流的加州电影制作税收抵免政策带来了巨大的经济效益：报告称，在仅两年时间且支出 2亿美元 后，该计划就产生了 38 亿美元 billion 的经济收益，并支持了 20,000 多个就业岗位。

如果这是客观分析的结果，那将令人印象深刻。但正如我当时报道的那样，该报告是由美国电影协会（Motion Picture Assn. of America）委托编写的，该协会是好莱坞领先的游说团体，主张获得更多且更好的公共补贴。美国电影协会的赞助在报告本身中并未提及，但随后得到了报告作者的确认。

这让我们回到了关于派拉蒙与华纳兄弟合并利弊的 LAEDC 报告。草案本身比许多媒体的报道要公正得多，而许多媒体的标题要么强调交易带来的所谓收益（例如《纽约邮报》），要么强调交易破裂可能带来的经济打击（例如《好莱坞报道》等）。

从派拉蒙的角度来看，正如我的同事梅格·詹姆斯（Meg James）所报道的，这种报道完全是有利的，因为这些报道往往倾向于支持该交易，并对交易失败发出警告。

洛杉矶经济发展公司（LAEDC）承认派拉蒙为该报告支付了费用。准确地说，一名 LAEDC 发言人告诉我，“派拉蒙聘请了 的应用经济研究所进行一项独立分析”。

如果你认为派拉蒙是真的要求 做出一项“独立分析”，请举手。我也没这么想。

该草案读起来就像作者的任务是收集经验数据，以验证一个预设的结论——即如果将派拉蒙的业务迁出加利福尼亚州，将意味着每年在“经济产出”方面遭受超过 210 亿美元 billion 的损失。这确实很可怕。

应用经济研究所的高级总监贾斯汀·亚当斯（Justin Adams）在给我的电子邮件中表示，鉴于内在的不确定性，其目标是模拟“最佳情况”和“最坏情况”的情景。“最佳情况显示影响较小且为负面。最坏情况显示影响重大且为负面。我们不对任何一种情景赋予可能性。”

然而， 在评估后果时明显带有倾向性。首先，它将派拉蒙的立场视为真理，即如果不能与各州达成协议，“它将被迫将公司总部和数千个工作岗位迁出加利福尼亚州……前往一个监管环境更友好的地方，如佐治亚州、田纳西州或德克萨斯州”。

当然，在没有达成协议的情况下，没有什么能“迫使”派拉蒙搬迁。这纯粹将是派拉蒙老板大卫·埃利森（David Ellison）的选择，这使得他更有可能将搬迁选项作为协议谈判中的筹码。无论如何，将一个娱乐巨头从加利福尼亚州迁往像上述州那样娱乐业落后的地区，将比留在原地更加复杂，且成本肯定更高。

该报告直接接受了埃利森关于合并后公司将在三年内每年制作 30 部故事片的“承诺”，并计算了潜在的经济收益。但“承诺”是派拉蒙的措辞。在我能找到的所有地方，都没有任何书面的、可强制执行的保证证明埃利森会履行该承诺。

接下来的问题是谁泄露了这份报告。派拉蒙表示泄密并非来自公司内部。 表示其“没有与任何外部第三方分享我们的初步调查报告”。Politico 没有回答我关于其如何获得该报告的问题。

这就把我们带到了一个调查：谁能从这次披露中获益。答案显然是派拉蒙。该公司告诉我，它对该分析“感到满意”，并补充道，“我们定期向可靠且经过验证的第三方研究公司和研究所提供数据，以确保任何公开报道的准确性和事实呈现。”

确实以一种委婉的方式提到了某些客观分析师所发现的、合并后公司必须应对的财务压力，例如约 800 亿美元 billion 的债务负担。这将挑战埃利森关于加快电影制作步伐的承诺，并让人质疑派拉蒙的暗示——即通过出售部分房地产和整合合并实体的流媒体服务，而非通过裁员，可以在合并后产生 60 亿美元 billion 的节省。

明确表示，它没有研究“在派拉蒙与 WBD（即华纳兄弟探索公司）成功合并后可能发生的任何整合的可能性或潜在影响”。

很难说人们可以去哪里寻找关于这场斗争利害关系的基于事实的研究。最冷静的分析可能是洛杉矶县经济机会部委托 CVL Economics 公司完成的那份报告。CVL 对此次合并带来的当地经济影响持悲观态度，称在 2027 年至 2030 年之间，将有 4,495 个直接的影视就业年人次面临风险。CVL 断言：“随着这些损失波及支持制作的企业以及更广泛的县经济，总就业风险将达到约 10,360 个就业年人次。”

CVL 谨慎地指出，其估算仅计算了“面临风险的就业能力”，而非“裁员预测”。但该报告确实相当准确地指出，此次合并“将在一个制作活动减少且将活动转移至他处的能力增强的时期，将决策权集中在一家高杠杆公司内部”。任何希望寻找实证数据以衡量此次交易利害关系的人，最好从这里开始。

明智的做法是将这笔交易视为一种并非为了提高娱乐业效率，或为了创作更好的电影和电视节目的尝试。正如我在去年该交易首次公布时写道的那样，与大多数巨额资金合并案一样，参与者通常带来的只有巨额资金和自负。而真正起决定作用的是第二个因素。

美国房价与抵押贷款利率上升，购房速度放缓

美国房地产经纪人协会（NAR）表示，与 2025 年同期相比，。

8 月份现有房屋销售额下降 2%，为连续第三个月下滑。

作者：ALEX VEIGA

由于购房者在应对不断上升的抵押贷款利率和房价，8 月份美国二手房销售额下降至一年多以来的最低年度速度。

美国房地产经纪人协会（NAR）上周表示，上个月现有房屋销售额较 7 月下降 2%，经季节性调整后的年率为 398 万套。这已是连续第三个月下滑。

与去年 8 月相比，销售额也下降了 1.2%。根据 FactSet 的数据，最新的销售统计略低于经济学家预期的 400 万套的年率。

NAR 首席经济学家劳伦斯·云（Lawrence Yun）表示：“房屋销售额与抵押贷款利率呈反向变动并不令人意外，我们看到抵押贷款利率从 2 月起一直在不断上升。”

回顾 2023 年，房屋销售额大多在 400 万套的年率附近波动，远低于接近 520 万套的历史常态。年销售速度上一次低于 400 万套是在 2025 年 6 月。

尽管近期出现回落，但今年前八个月美国现有房屋销售额比 高出 1.6%。

住房市场在很大程度上受到了借贷成本上升的阻碍，因为自 2 月底美国与伊朗之间爆发战争以来的几个月里，抵押贷款利率一路攀升。在油价飙升导致通胀预期上升的背景下，长期债券收益率被推高，而贷款机构将此作为房屋贷款定价的指南，从而推高了抵押贷款利率。

本周，基准 30 年期抵押贷款的平均利率达到 6.76%，为 14 个多月以来的最高水平。在战争开始前，该利率曾短暂跌至 6% 以下。

云指出，考虑到抵押贷款利率往往跟随 10 年期国债收益率的走势，该利率可能很快达到 7%，而 10 年期国债收益率已处于 2023 年底以来未见的高位。截至 9 月 10 日，债券市场的收益率为 4.92%。

尽管销售放缓，但上个月全美房价继续上涨。NAR 表示，根据追溯至 1999 年的数据，8 月份美国房屋销售中位数价格较去年同期增长 1.6%，达到 429,100 美元，创下 8 月份的历史新高。房价已连续 38 个月按年度计算上涨。

美国住房市场自 2022 年起一直处于低迷状态，当时抵押贷款利率开始从疫情期间的低点攀升。去年，美国二手房销售额基本持平，处于 30 年来的低点。

多年来房价飙升，尤其是在本十年初期，极低的抵押贷款利率引发了抢购狂潮，导致许多潜在购房者被排除在市场之外。此外，由于多年来新房建设低于平均水平，全国范围内房屋供应长期短缺，这使得即使在长达数年的销售低迷期，房价依然维持在高位。

上个月购买的许多房屋可能在 7 月和 6 月就已签署合同，当时 30 年期抵押贷款的平均利率在 6.43% 至 6.66% 之间。

从地区来看，上个月东北部、中西部和南部的销售额较 7 月有所下降。西部地区的销售额持平。与此同时，东北部的房价上涨速度快于全国其他地区，由于相对于其他地区市场上的房屋短缺，其价格较去年 8 月上涨了 4.3%。

销售放缓导致未售房产在市场上的停留时间延长，有助于增加可用房屋的数量。

美国全国房地产经纪人协会（NAR）表示，尽管房屋库存水平仍远低于历史常态，但上月底仍有 162 万 套未售房屋，比 7 月增长 3.2%，比去年 8 月增长 5.9%。这仍低于新冠疫情前典型的约 200 万 套待售房屋数量。

尽管如此，8 月底的库存量按目前的销售速度计算，可维持 4.9 个月的供应。这是 10 多年来的最高水平。传统上，4 到 6 个月的供应量被认为是买家和卖家之间的平衡市场。

待售房屋的增加，为那些能够负担当前抵押贷款利率或支付全款的购房者提供了更广泛的选择，并可能在协商更好的销售条款时拥有更多筹码。

根据 Realtor.com 的数据，8 月全国房屋挂牌价格中位数比一年前下降了 1.2%，而约 20% 的挂牌房源降低了初始价格。

NAR 表示，上个月首次购房者占房屋购买量的 30%，高于 7 月的 29% 和去年 8 月的 28%。从历史上看，首次购房者约占房屋销售额的 40%。

海军联邦信用社（Navy Federal Credit Union）首席经济学家希瑟·隆（Heather Long）指出，由于房价、抵押贷款利率、财产税和保险成本现在都比几年前显著提高，负担能力仍然是购房者的主要担忧。

这些趋势也给急于出售房屋的房主带来了压力。

“现在不是卖房的好时机，”隆表示，“美国人正在按下购房的暂停键。”

美联储加息并暗示将进一步提高利率，股市下跌

作者：斯坦·乔（STAN CHOE）

周三，在美联储三年来首次提高主要利率，并暗示为了控制国家的高通胀可能会进一步加息后，股市出现下跌。

标准普尔500指数在放弃早前的小幅上涨后下跌了 0.4%。道琼斯工业平均指数下跌 631 点，跌幅 1.2%；纳斯达克综合指数在微跌不足 0.1% 后基本持平。

投资者通常更倾向于较低的利率，因为高利率会减缓经济增长，并削弱股票及其他投资的价格。

在美联储宣布决定后，美国股市最初维持了早盘的小幅上涨。如果能切断通胀的燃料，并将生活成本的进一步上涨降低至美联储 2% 的目标，那么经济增速放缓带来的短期阵痛可能是值得的。

但随着美联储主席凯文·沃什（Kevin Warsh）在新闻发布会上多次表示通胀依然过高且美国经济似乎正在增强，股价在当天晚些时候走弱。这可能意味着经济足够强韧，能够承受更多次的加息，而美联储的其他官员也提供了各自的预测，表明利率可能需要进一步提高。

根据央行会议后公布的预测，联邦基金利率预计在今年年底达到 4.1%。在周三加息后，该利率从目前的 3.75% 至 4% 的区间有所上升，且高于美联储官员三个月前给出的 3.8% 的中值预测。

与此同时，交易员怀疑美联储可能会采取更激进的措施。根据 CME 集团的数据，他们押注美联储在年底前将联邦基金利率提高至 4.25% 到 4.50% 区间的概率为 38%。

“我们的决定是在美国经济似乎正在增强的时刻做出的，”沃什在新闻发布会上表示。

他指出了美国稳健的招聘趋势、企业利润以及企业的投资。与此同时，周三上午的一份报告显示，上个月美国消费者的零售支出远高于经济学家的预期。

“事实很明显，通胀太高了，而且持续时间太长了，”沃什说。他随后补充道，“今天的行动开始表明我们对此是认真的。”

这是美联储三年来的首次加息。尽管通胀一直高于美联储 2% 的目标，但在 2024 年和 2025 年降息后，央行已暂停加息数月。

特朗普总统一直游说降低利率而非提高利率。

在华尔街，银行股出现了市场中较为剧烈的跌幅。美国经济增速放缓可能意味着对其贷款的需求减少。此外，当短期利率与长期利率之间的差距缩小时，银行也会受到损害，因为该行业正是通过利差获利。

在美联储宣布决定后，两年期国债收益率从周二晚间的 4.67% 跳升至 4.74%。它往往紧跟市场对美联储联邦基金利率走势的预期。

与此同时，长期 10 年期国债的收益率则考虑了对未来几年经济增长和通胀的预期。其涨幅较为温和，从周二晚间的 5.00% 微升至 5.01%。

在布伦特原油每桶价格下跌 2.7% 至 $105.83 后，石油公司股票拖累了市场。这是布伦特原油本周的首次下跌，此前几天其价格已接近 $110。

8月零售销售额在油价上涨压力下依然激增

CARLIN STIEHL 为本报拍摄 本月，一名男子在加利福尼亚州查茨沃思德文希尔街的 76 加油站为油箱加油。

根据政府最新的快照数据显示，尽管消费者可能在抱怨加油站及其他地方的价格上涨，但他们仍在继续消费，助力经济运行。

根据商务部周三公布的数据，上月零售销售额反弹，增长 1.2%，好于预期；而 7 月份的修正数据显示则下降了 0.5%。根据 FactSet 的数据，经济学家此前预计该月将增长 0.7%。

7 月份的下降值得关注，因为此前美国消费者几乎没有表现出疲态。美国人在今年夏天的世界杯和亚马逊 Prime Day 促销期间消费巨大。在此之前，由于美国人使用了政府的退税款，4 月和 5 月的零售销售额也保持稳健。

即便剔除加油站的业务，8 月的零售销售额仍增长了 1.1%，凸显了美国消费者的韧性。政府数据未经过通胀调整。根据会议委员会（Conference Board）的最新读数，尽管消费者信心在 7 月再次受挫，但消费支出依然强劲回升。

这份强劲的支出报告出炉之际，美联储于周三首次在三年内上调短期利率，以应对顽固的高通胀。

经济学家认为，上月零售业的大部分强势反映了非门店销售额的反弹，而该项指标在 7 月份大幅下降。

牛津经济研究院（Oxford Economics）首席美国经济学家迈克尔·皮尔斯（Michael Pearce）表示，这是由亚马逊 Prime Day 购物活动时间变动引起的“季节性噪音”，且该活动恰逢其他主要在线零售商的大规模促销。他表示，油价上涨也支撑了加油站的销售额。

但皮尔斯写道，即便考虑到这些因素，大多数支出类别的增长依然“可观”，其中以餐饮服务、电子产品以及体育与娱乐等可选消费部门为首。

海军联邦信用合作社（Navy Federal Credit Union）首席经济学家海瑟·隆（Heather Long）在周三发布的一份报告中写道：“美国消费者仍在打开钱包购买商品。8 月的零售销售额在疲软的 7 月之后出现了大幅反弹。”

所谓的控制组（剔除了餐饮服务、汽车、建筑材料和加油站销售，用于计算经济增长）上月较前一个月强劲增长了 1.4%。

尽管中东地区战火重燃导致油价飙升，许多美国人仍继续消费。

根据汽车俱乐部 AAA 的数据，周三常规汽油的平均价格一夜之间上涨至 $4.37 每加仑。这比战争开始前每加仑不足 $3. 的价格高出约 47%。

柴油由于用于航运、运输和制造业，影响巨大，其价格上涨速度更快，涨幅达 68%。

劳工部周五报告称，上月消费者价格较去年同期上涨 3.4%，且较 7 月上涨 0.4%，是前一个月记录的 0.1% 的四倍。

尽管如此，根据过去几周公布季度财务业绩的零售商称，美国人在购买商品时变得更加挑剔，但一些公司（如沃尔玛和梅西百货）正利用政府退还的部分关税来降低价格。

梅西百货首席执行官托尼·斯普林（Tony Spring）表示，梅西百货收到了政府退还的 1.16亿美元 关税，其中部分资金被用于降低家具和高级珠宝等某些大宗商品的价格。

全美零售联合会（National Retail Federation，美国最大的零售贸易组织）的高管表示，今年的零售销售额好于预期。

NRF 首席经济学家马克·马修斯（Mark Mathews）还指出，他观察到近几个月来“K型”消费趋势有所缓解——K型的上半部分是指高收入美国人的收入和财富在增加，而下半部分则指向低收入家庭在面对收入增长乏力和价格高企时所陷入的困境。

根据该零售协会的全球港口追踪器（Global Port Tracker），9月预计将成为该国主要集装箱港口进口量最繁忙的月份，这凸显了消费者的韧性。

该追踪器是由一家名为 Hackett Associates 的咨询公司为 NRF 制作的。

《观点报》（La Opinión）回顾洛杉矶一个世纪的变迁

16名天主教徒昨日在奥里萨巴被捕 《La Opinión》独立大众日报 《La Opinión》罗斯福以压倒性多数击败胡佛

MyCode 成立于1926年的《La 》报道了大萧条期间富兰克林·D·罗斯福对赫伯特·胡佛的彻底击败。

[来自A1页的《La 》] 报纸曾是人们了解时事以及寻找工作、租房和买车的生命线。

在动荡时期，《La 》也是拉丁裔人士的发声渠道，涵盖了打击移民行动以及诸如187号提案等政治议题，该提案原本将剥夺许多非法居住在该国人员的诸多福利。

“我认为我们许多在80年代长大的人肯定记得那个时代有多艰难，以及当地报纸——尤其是《La 》——是多么至关重要，”美国全国西班牙裔记者协会主席杜尼亚·埃尔维尔（Dunia Elvir）在回忆那些日子时说道。“它们为那些生活在恐惧中的人们提供了发声的机会。”

她说，该报的立场让拉丁裔人士感到他们属于这座城市。

“我敢说《La 》至关重要；它就像是精神的良药，”她用西班牙语说道。

尽管如此，这次庆祝对该报来说是一个苦乐参半的时刻。几十年来，该报经历了扩张与收缩，并且像许多同行报纸一样，在裁员、收入损失和读者人数下降的不断变化的媒体格局中苦苦挣扎。

如今，该报约有50名全职员工和自由撰稿人，较过去员工人数达数百人的规模大幅下降。该报仍出版印刷版，但采用了小报格式——尺寸更小且更紧凑。

LiCalzi表示，为了纪念这一历史时刻，该报推出了“Somos L.A. Columna”，这是一系列100字的专栏，将在该报网站和印刷版上发布。这些内容还将分享在报纸的社交媒体账号上。

LiCalzi表示，这些短篇专栏是来自民选官员、社区领袖、运动员、艺术家、企业主和活动人士的由衷信息，这些人共同塑造了这座城市。

“我们花了100年时间书写这座城市，在百年庆典之际，我们希望听到城市的声音，”Li-Calzi说道。

他表示，西班牙语短语“Somos L.A. Columna”是对构成这座城市脊梁的洛杉矶人的致敬。他说，让人们撰写较短的信息，要求人们静下心来思考为什么洛杉矶对他们如此重要。

贡献者名单中包括洛杉矶前市长安东尼奥·维拉赖戈萨（Antonio Villarraigosa）、洛杉矶爱乐乐团前音乐和艺术总监古斯塔沃·杜达梅尔（Gustavo Dudamel），以及洛杉矶危地马拉文化之家（Casa de la Cultura de Guatemala in Los Angeles）总裁兼主任拜伦·巴斯克斯（Byron Vásquez）。

这些专栏将配有一段反映该报在洛杉矶历史的短视频。视频以一句简单的西班牙语开篇：“我们一直在这里。”

市府和公司官员表示，《La 》原址（北洛杉矶街302号）将被列入该市的历史遗迹在线名录——“Historic-PlacesLA Revealed: Latino Los Angeles”。这是一项市级倡议，旨在突出反映该市拉丁裔人口历史和遗产的场所。

据市府官员称，建筑旁将放置一个二维码，引导访客进入一个关于《La Opinión》历史的在线多媒体页面。

“西班牙语媒体是洛杉矶不可或缺的一部分。它讲述洛杉矶人的故事，反映了塑造我们这座城市的民众和社区。”

洛杉矶县董事会主席希尔达·索利斯表示，在她成长于一个移民家庭的过程中，西班牙语媒体是她日常生活的一部分。

“《La Opinión》帮助像我这样的家庭及时了解社区内发生的事情，并为说西班牙语的洛杉矶人提供了发声渠道，”她在书面声明中说道。“这一角色在今天同样重要。在人们试图分裂我们的社区并质疑我们的归属感的时刻，族裔媒体有助于确保人们能够获得他们可以理解的

信任。”

为了增加庆祝氛围，这次百年庆典恰逢西班牙裔传统月。

每逢墨西哥独立日，该报都会庆祝其卑微的起步——当时老洛萨诺在洛杉矶市中心的一间简陋办公室里创办了这份报纸。

老洛萨诺在抵达洛杉矶之前已经在圣安东尼奥创办了《新闻报》（La Prensa），他意识到这座城市需要一份能与美国主流报纸相媲美的西班牙语报纸。

“那是洛杉矶西班牙语报纸的黄金时代，”南加州大学（USC）新闻学荣休教授费利克斯·古铁雷斯（Félix Gutiérrez）说道。

他表示，当时大多数报纸都倾向于某个政党或特定的运动。他说，《舆论报》（La Opinión）的独特之处在于坚持新闻主义。

“他们致力于新闻工作，并通过其作者报道并反映在美国的墨西哥人的优秀一面，”古铁雷斯说，“这就是最初的愿景，你也知道，《舆论报》就这样延续了这么多年。”

1953年老洛萨诺去世后，小伊格纳西奥·E·洛萨诺（Ignacio E. Lozano Jr.）接任发行人，延续了跨越三代的家族传承。

在小洛萨诺的领导下，该报规模扩大，重心从国外新闻转向报道影响拉丁裔的本地问题，而这些话题在英文报纸中要么被忽视，要么被误读。

1976年，福特总统任命他为美国驻萨尔瓦多大使。洛萨诺夫妇前往这个中美洲国家停留了九个月，将《舆论报》交由他们的儿子和女儿何塞·伊格纳西奥（Jose Ignacio）和莱蒂西亚（Leticia）管理。

在 20 世纪 80 年代，洛杉矶迎来了另一波拉丁美洲移民潮，其中包括逃离贫困与战争的墨西哥人和中美洲人。《La Opinión》在这一时期发展壮大，通过反对 187 号提案并推广公民权和移民权利，加强了其对公民新闻的承诺。

但该报在财务上也陷入了困境。1990 年，当时的所有者时代镜像公司（Times Mirror Co.）收购了《La Opinión》50% 的股份。这次合伙关系在十多年后结束。

2004 年，洛萨诺家族创立了 ImpreMedia，这是一家全国性的媒体公司，拥有包括《La Opinión》在内的全美多家西班牙语报纸。

同年，莫妮卡·洛萨诺（Monica Lozano）担任该报的首席执行官兼发行人。

洛萨诺表示，该报一直充当着拉丁裔与掌握权力和影响力的人士之间的桥梁。

“我想说，这份报纸肩负着双重使命：一是代表我们的社区及其日益增长的影响力，”她说道，“但同时也要捍卫并明确，我们应该被视为一个带着抱负和梦想而来的移民社区，旨在供养家庭、为国家做出贡献，并被视为社会结构中不可或缺的一部分。”

“这些年来我一直说，一个起初由墨西哥人拥有的企业，最终变成了一家美国机构，”她补充道。

2012 年，洛萨诺家族将其在公司的股份出售给了阿根廷媒体公司《La Nación》的一家子公司。

洛萨诺目前担任非营利新闻组织 LA Local 的董事会主席，她表示在出售股份后不久她就离开了公司。随后她担任了多个领导职务。洛萨诺表示，她依然乐观地认为，只要该报继续致力于服务并理解其报道的社区，无论内容如何被消费，它在现任所有者的领导下都将继续繁荣。

“像这样的媒体的需求变得更加关键，人们正在寻找他们可以信任且专注于社区的内容，”她说道。

LiCalzi 对此表示赞同。

“一百年确实令人难以置信，我希望这份[报纸]无论以何种形式存在，都能在未来的许多十年里继续服务社区，”他说，“这就是目标。”

当友谊成为一场远距离之恋

浪漫伴侣愿意放弃一切来共同打造生活。为什么我们不能为朋友这样做？

理查德·林克莱特 2004 年的电影《日落之前》中有一句很棒的台词。

在我的人生中，我花光所有的钱去不同的城市探访朋友。我们重新熟悉彼此的举止和习惯，就像杰西和

也许我的思考方式错了。也许答案在于杰西写他的小说。也许我的答案就在这部漫画中，赞美那跨越洲际的爱。

我想，当你年轻时，你总觉得会有很多人能与你产生共鸣。而到了后来，你才意识到这种情况只会发生几次。

最终，杰西和塞琳意识到他们彼此深爱着对方。他们放弃了一切来共同打造生活。但我们却没有。

你永远无法取代任何人，因为每个人都由如此美丽且具体的细节组成。

塞琳在谈论浪漫之爱，但我经常将其思考在友谊方面。

具体来说，是远距离友谊。

为什么？因为这很疯狂。因为也许我们只是在演戏。因为这“仅仅是友谊”。我只需要结交新朋友就行了，对吧？

我永远无法取代我的朋友；我只需要去触碰他们。在电话里，在画作中，在记忆里，在《日落之前》里。

这并不完全一样，但没有什么能完全一样。

加利福尼亚州自 2020 年以来尚未实施轮流停电。

清洁能源奏效的证明

关于 9 月 12 日的《记录性夏季高温中避免了停电》一文

加利福尼亚州刚刚经历了有记录以来最热的 8 月——没有轮流停电，没有滚动断电，也没有发布灵活电力警报（Flex Alerts）。六年前，在一次远没有这么严重的热浪中，数十万家庭失去了电力。发生了什么变化？电池储能从不足 100 兆瓦增长到了 17,000 兆瓦以上。清洁能源奏效了。这就是当我们投资于解决方案而非执迷于问题时所产生的结果。

燃烧化石燃料正驱动着导致 8 月如此酷热的气候变化。然而，就在加州人利用太阳能和电池维持电力供应时，埃克森公司（Exxon）上季度的日利润高达 1.6亿美元——而纳税人则在资助联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）、重建被火灾摧毁的社区，并承担那些在洛杉矶火灾中失去一切的家庭的痛苦。

一项由污染者支付并返还给家庭的碳污染费，将加速加州已经证明有效的做法。我们的孩子理应拥有这样一个未来： “有记录以来最热的 8 月”不再是每年的头条新闻。

埃琳·沃尔什·库萨（ERYN WALSH KOUSSA） 霍桑

读者来信

这篇文章说明了一个事实，即解决气候危机是一个政治问题——在投票箱前很容易解决。加州人选出了具有前瞻性的政治家，他们设定了清洁能源目标。这些政治家创建并支持旨在减少对化石燃料依赖并加速可再生能源部署的项目。加州的清洁能源成就正是开明政治的结果。

科学结论很明确：化石燃料污染正在杀死数百万人，并使地球过热，产生可怕的后果。经济结论也很明确：清洁的可再生太阳能、风能和电池储能比肮脏的化石燃料更便宜。政治掌握着解决方案。

政治决定——我们投票给谁，我们支持哪些政党和政策——将决定我们在气候变化将我们淹没之前能否实现经济脱碳。停止全球变暖以及造成这一现象的失控化石燃料工业的唯一途径是通过政治行动，这意味着投票给那些支持逐步淘汰化石燃料的政治家，而反对那些不支持的人。

罗伯特·泰勒（ROBERT TAYLOR） 圣巴巴拉

：

依赖电池储能来避免停电之所以令人惊讶，是因为每天没有出现类似这样的头条新闻：“电池储能帮助在昨天避免了另一次停电”。大多数媒体空间的“气候噤声”让人们意识不到清洁能源和储能正悄无声息但坚定地推进。现在，其性能水平已达到足以引起报道的瞩目程度。

我乐观地认为，随着公民意识的增强，清洁能源的优势（成本最低、污染最少）将加速摆脱加热地球的化石燃料。去参加市政厅会议并询问候选人：“您对旨在建设更多清洁能源基础设施的许可改革持什么立场？”让我们缩短那些成为众多待建大规模清洁能源项目障碍的延迟。一个拥有清洁健康空气和水以及更低电费的未来并非空中楼阁。它触手可及。

唐纳德·特朗普二世（DONALD TRUMP JR.）与他父亲的共同点远不止一个名字，他还继承了总统对阴暗交易以及对克莱普托克拉西（盗贼统治）式俄罗斯人的偏好。有时，这两种倾向会结合在一起。根据 ProPublica 本周披露的消息，今年 5 月就是这种情况：唐纳德二世在巴哈马举行了一场为期三天的狂欢婚礼并迎娶第二任妻子，而这场婚礼的部分资金是由一名特朗普后辈近期才结识的、与普京结盟的寡头提供的数十万美元资助。

我不禁在想——回想起 2016 年唐纳德二世在得知俄罗斯想要帮他挖掘希拉里·克林顿的黑料时的反应——当他的新俄罗斯朋友乌马尔·克雷姆列夫（Umar Kremlev）提供这笔婚礼上的骗局，哦不，是礼物时，他是否也这样回答：“如果你说的是真的，那我太爱了。”

我的第二个想法是，唐纳德二世在想要花别人的钱这一点上和他父亲一模一样，尽管自从特朗普总统重新上台以来，特朗普家族已经积累了数十亿美元。（此时，那些追踪亨特·拜登笔记本电脑的侦探们依然保持沉默。）

就在 ProPublica 揭露事件的前几天，在上周于达拉斯举行的共和党期中选举大会上，老特朗普向大约 2.7 亿 名美国成年人每人提供 $5,000 的礼物。但这项以他名字命名的“特朗普红利”只有在共和党在 11 月期中选举后继续保持众议院和参议院多数席位的情况下才会兑现。

账单是多少？超过 1 万亿美元，大约 $1.3 万亿美元。尽管上个月刚传出令债券市场动荡并推高利率的消息——即美国的总债务已超过 $40 万亿美元——但特朗普对美国财政部的挥霍程度依然如此之高。

正如特朗普在 2016 年告诉 CNBC 的那样：“我爱债务。我喜欢玩弄它。”我们不能说他没有警告过我们。甚至在他提议发放 5K 赠款之前，特朗普就已经在朝着打破其第一任期增加不可持续的美国债务（$8.4 万亿美元）的记录前进。

特朗普这种前所未有的选后派钱提议，引发了民主党和其他批评者预料之中的“贿赂”指责。但抛开合法性不谈，即便这种贿赂的迹象也并非该提议中最令我困扰的地方。

首先，这不会发生。没有人会收到 $5,000 的特朗普红利，就像没有人收到他之前承诺的 DOGE 红利或 $2,000 关税退款一样。

即便共和党创造奇迹并保留对国会的控制权，掌权者们对他这个破坏预算的计划也没有热情，尤其是在他们参与将数万亿美元债务添加到去年以来——通过减税、战争成本以及各种特朗普的个人项目——之后。

而且，根据宪法，国会确实必须采取行动，尽管唯唯诺诺的财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）暗示特朗普可以单独行动。（但贝森特在周二告诉一个众议院委员会：“我目前还不准备讨论这个问题。”）

不，特朗普这个想法中最令我困扰——令我愤怒——的是其极其糟糕的财政不负责任。

特朗普颠覆了共和党历史上的许多正统观念，包括在移民、贸易以及对俄政策方面。但他对年度赤字（本财年截至 9 月 30 日，赤字高达创纪录的 $2 万亿美元）的完全漠视，以及他对纳税人资金可耻的挥霍，是美国人在其一生中从未在任何一个政党中见过的。

更糟糕的是，特朗普暗示情况并非如此，暗示他在财政上是负责任的，而且他用如此容易被反驳、如此经常与他自己的话相矛盾的谎言来掩盖，以至于像他这样一个惯于撒谎的人竟然能说出这些话，简直是个奇迹。

本周，特朗普仍在声称，由于他对超过一半的进口商品征收通胀关税，从而获得了“数万亿数万亿”美元的收入，因此这 $5,000 的红利将能够支付。实际数字远未达到这个量级，而且他应该很清楚这一点：非党派分析师们正在处理的数据，就来自他名义上领导的政府。

2026, 截至 8 月的关税收入略低于 $200 亿，但其中超过一半已经用于向亚马逊（Amazon）、沃尔玛（Walmart）和家得宝（Home Depot）等大公司发放退款，这是为了执行最高法院针对特朗普部分关税的裁决。而且，就好像特朗普的红利提案还不够虚伪一样，在提出该方案时，他似乎忘记了自己在 2 月份国情咨文演说中的主张，即他将利用海量的关税收入来废除联邦所得税。

还有最后一件事：即使每个成年美国人都能拿到 $5,000, 根据非党派机构税务基金会（Tax Foundation）的数据，也要从中减去自特朗普就任以来，每个家庭因关税上涨而平均支付的近 $2,000。

总之，在这个愚蠢的想法中，这次派钱行为几乎体现了特朗普作为总统的所有缺陷：当然包括谎言；财政上的鲁莽；对值得称赞的共和党学说的践踏；以及围绕在特朗普身边、只会唯唯诺诺的谄媚之徒所形成的泡沫。反过来，则是他那种凭直觉行事的政策愚蠢，从发动战争到拆除白宫。

特朗普这 $5,000 的惊人之举背后缺乏任何实际的政策审议，这一点在他那些走狗们慌乱且矛盾的反应中可见一斑——不仅是贝森特（Bessent）关于总统权限的似是而非的主张，还有商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）天真的坚持，认为政府可以通过某种方式“赚到唐纳德·特朗普想要支付的钱”，以及国家经济委员会主任凯文·哈塞特（Kevin Hassett）与贝森特截然相反的评论，称白宫确实在寻求国会拨款。

好消息是？美国人明白这一点。最近的民调显示，认可特朗普处理经济方式的比例低至 28%。绝大多数人表示，自从他再次就任总统以来，他们的生活状况变得更糟了。

这样的数字预示着选举结果不太可能被 $5,000. 的承诺所改变。尤其是来自一个惯于违背承诺的人。

派拉蒙掌门人赢得了华盛顿，却失去了好莱坞

如果这位亿万富翁之子想要书写自己的传奇，他应该去争取制作电影所需的人才

随着华纳兄弟与派拉蒙的合并日益接近现实，从演员转型为电影大亨的大卫·埃利森（David Ellison）面临着一个悖论。他似乎已经通过了所有监管机构的审核，但仍然无法完成交易。由于 12 位民主党总检察长以反垄断为由提出反对，更不用说还要面对数千名抗议的好莱坞艺术家、美国编剧工会（WGA）的诉讼、“阻止合并”团体（Block the Merger group）以及在联邦监管机构迅速批准合并之际不断被提及的政治裙带关系，这整笔交易已被赋予了政治色彩，而非工业色彩。

人们很容易将这种情况解读为偏袒或裙带关系，然后就此打住。埃利森生活在父亲——亿万富翁、甲骨文（Oracle）联合创始人拉里·埃利森（Larry Ellison）的阴影之下，并与父亲的政治盟友保持一致。如果大卫·埃利森想要开创自己的故事，他应该去争取好莱坞的人才，而不是华盛顿的官僚。这并不意味着埃利森必须改变他的个人政治立场，而是意味着他应该在电影行业内部建立好感。

所有正在发生的右翼社交活动，尤其是在哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS），造成了一种笼罩在整个运营之上的负面观感。这是一个战略上的失败，而好莱坞历史上的大亨们一直致力于避免这种情况。从派拉蒙创始人阿道夫·祖科（Adolph Zukor）到华纳兄弟联合创始人哈里·华纳（Harry Warner），这些电影老板在整个职业生涯中都在与华盛顿周旋和博弈，但其叙事主线始终是捍卫电影。20 世纪 20 年代，为了让政府远离，行业实施了自我审查。1941. 年，制片厂在孤立主义参议员的压力下捍卫反纳粹电影。第二次世界大战期间，随着国家团结一致，好莱坞与政府保持一致。尽管该行业在面对众议院非美活动委员会（HUAC）听证会的早期冷战偏执时表现糟糕，但仍设法保持了完整。

在好莱坞的大部分历史中，政府是一个与之共存的“必要之恶”。电影大亨必须懂得如何应对政府压力，以便业务能够继续运行。1948, 年，该行业失去了挽救纵向整合（即对放映、发行和制作的唯一控制权）的尝试，但随着 2020. 年的逆转，这扇门现在已经重新开启。目前展示娱乐内容的渠道比以往任何时候都多。可能性是无穷的，但对于增长承诺的怀疑也同样之多。

娱乐界普遍认为，他们的想法对埃利森来说并不重要。不断威胁要出售制片厂场地并搬迁公司的言论在洛杉矶并不受欢迎。

大卫·埃利森，派拉蒙-天舞（Paramount Skydance）首席执行官，在 2026 年电影展（CinemaCon 2026）期间发言。

莎伦·瓦克斯曼（Sharon Waxman）在《纽约时报》中写道：“没有人真的想从比弗利山搬到纳什维尔。”洛杉矶是人才的中心，一个多世纪以来一直滋养着好莱坞。

这种历史根基的重要性无论如何强调都不为过，且值得为之奋斗。一名接近派拉蒙内部思考的人士告诉《纽约邮报》：“埃利森热爱电影，如果这笔交易不能达成，华纳最终将被科技巨头收购，而他们已经等不及让 AI 开始裁员了。”这一切可能都是事实，但既然如此，为什么埃利森不吹捧这些制片厂场地的重要性，并将自己包裹在好莱坞的历史和重要性之中？相反，埃利森威胁要抛弃洛杉矶，最新报告预测，这一行动将导致加利福尼亚州损失 58,000 个工作岗位和 210 亿美元 billion 的年收入。

很明显，埃利森一直以来在争取错误的对象。如果他知道自己可以轻而易举地通过监管程序，为什么要在华盛顿花费这么多时间来炫耀这一事实？看看泰德·萨兰多斯在 2025 底 Netflix 达成收购华纳兄弟协议时数月来所做的事情。除了与华盛顿的领导层沟通外，他还与行业贸易刊物交谈，参加播客节目。尽管 Netflix 在院线窗口期的一致性信息方面受到批评，但很明显，Netflix 的报价首先且最核心的是基于娱乐。

相比于华盛顿，争取好莱坞本可以为埃利森创造一个完全不同的叙事，即便他的圈子里有那些厌恶好莱坞的特朗普盟友。他应该赢得那些将为他工作的人们。相比之下，哈里·华纳从未满足于政客和其他好莱坞领导者的认可；他需要确保木工和灯光师明白，华纳在做出每一个决定时都考虑到了他们。华纳倾向于向股东捍卫他的公司，而不是向华纳兄弟的其他成员解释股东的想法。

埃利森在《纽约时报》发表的评论文章本应在他竞购华纳兄弟的极早期就发表。除了让汤姆·克鲁斯为这次合并奔走外，他为什么没有参加“The Town”播客，或者接受《好莱坞报道》的采访？裙带关系、亲属之情和偏—

KAYLA BARTKOWSKI 洛杉矶时报 “我们的同事在今晚失去了生命，”一名 NBC 主播在新闻直升机坠毁后报道称。

NBC4 报道自身的悲剧

记者们在描述导致 3 人死亡（包括 2 名同事）的直升机坠毁事故时强忍泪水。

作者：KAREN GARCIA, IRIS KWOK, MEG JAMES 以及 SUMMER LIN

周二晚上，NBC4 的新闻团队正在报道发生在查茨沃思（Chatsworth）的一起涉及 Metro 巴士的致命碰撞事故，而就在几个街区外，一架直升机坠毁了。

当时空中有几架新闻直升机正在报道这起巴士事故。

在接下来的两个小时里，主播和记者在报道该故事的同时，向观众告知了一个残酷的事实：该电台已与 4 号直升机（Chopper 4）机组失去联系。

记者们在报道所见情况时时而强忍泪水。几名在现场的人员表示，他们被急救人员和同行记者提供的支持所深深触动。

随后在晚上 9 点，NBC4 的资深主播科琳·威廉姆斯（Colleen Williams）确认了许多观众所怀疑的情况。

“我们收到了确认，事实上，新闻 4 号直升机在今晚 7 点前不久在查茨沃思坠毁，”威廉姆斯说。“我们一直在拼凑碎片信息。我们知道那是一架新闻直升机。我们知道我们与在那里的工作人员失去了联系。现在我们得到了确认。”

“我们将花几分钟时间思考这件事，进行消化并重新整顿，”她在结束现场直播前补充道。

晚上 9:40 左右，NBC 恢复了现场报道，其中包括在直升机坠毁现场附近举行的一场新闻发布会。

发布会结束后，主播威廉姆斯表示：“我们的同事在今晚失去了生命；他们当时就在新闻 4 号直升机上。”

直升机团队当时正在空中报道巴士坠毁事故。

该主播此前描述了工作人员最初是如何得知这场悲剧的。

服务与冒险的遗产

航空报道是交通拥堵的洛杉矶之必需，但对记者来说可能致命。有些人已选择离职。

他们离你很远，就在你头顶几千英尺的高空；又离你很近，就在你的收音机和手机里。在

GPS、Waze 和谷歌地图出现之前，他们就已经在空中飞行，而且至今依然如此。

如果失去了这些引导我们穿过交通乱局抵达目的地，并带我们近距离观察混乱、暴乱和火灾的“空中之眼”，洛杉矶人字面上地该怎么办？

周二，他们的工作本身变成了新闻：一架 NBC4 新闻直升机在查茨沃思（Chatsworth）坠毁并起火，机上两人死亡。坠机地点距离他们准备报道的新闻现场不远：当时一辆 SUV 撞上一辆巴士，导致两人死亡。地面上还有一人在直升机坠毁事故中丧生。

洛杉矶与航空报道一直是一对绝配，即便这并非天作之合，但比起我们这些被束缚在地面上的生物，他们离天堂近了大约四分之一英里。

凯莉·兰格（Kelly Lange）在成为当地 NBC 电视台具有开创意义的夜间新闻主播以及 NBC 网络的客座主持人之前，曾担任过数年的航空广播交通记者。她是我的朋友，我周二给她打了电话，听她谈谈对这项工作及其前同事的看法。

“这真的是一份非常危险的工作，”她告诉我，并描述了一些惊险时刻。“我很惊讶自己能活下来。”

纽约市声称拥有最早的航空交通报道，那是 1935 年夏天，一名警察指挥官乘坐固特异飞艇监测周末福特汽车的流量。当时车载收音机还不普及，但有一天下午，这位空中指挥官花了 20 分钟大声责骂一名他在皇后区交通堵塞中左右穿插、闪躲的周日司机。他描述了那辆车，然后通过电波大吼道：“别那么急……不要拥挤！”

据称，两年后，即 1937 年 8 月，一名名为汤姆·汉隆（Tom Hanlon）的 KNX 播音员兼体育记者乘坐联合航空（United Airlines）的飞机报道了洛杉矶的交通状况，当时周末的司机们在前往海滩和山间度假地的途中使道路不堪重负。

在南加州最早定期进入天空和电波的人之一，也是在执行该职责时首位牺牲的人：马克斯上尉。

马克斯·舒马赫（Max Schumacher）是朝鲜战争期间的一名海军陆战队战斗飞行员。1957 年圣诞假期期间，他与一名广播记者驾驶 KABC 电台的一架贝尔直升机，大约每 20 分钟提供一次新闻和交通更新。

法官裁定：若家长询问，学校必须告知孩子的性别认同

作者：霍华德·布鲁姆（Howard Blume）

一名法官周二在一宗备受关注的涉及家长权利的案件中裁定，在加利福尼亚州，学区强制教师和其他工作人员提醒家长其子女性别认同的行为仍然是非法的，但当家长对此进行询问时，必须告知家长。

圣贝纳迪诺县高等法院法官迈克尔·萨克斯（Michael Sachs）在权衡州法和最高法院指令后，驳回了奇诺谷统一学区（Chino Valley Unified School District）试图恢复其强制性家长通知政策的请求。

“学区在得知跨性别问题后，并没有要求其主动联系家长并告知家长，”萨克斯在法庭上表示。与此同时，“如果家长对未成年子女的状态（无论是否为跨性别）提出肯定询问，这将触发学区做出回应的义务。”

根据 2023 年 7 月批准的奇诺谷政策，如果学生请求“使用与学生生物学性别或出生证明或其他官方记录上列出的性别不一致的人称代词”，学校必须通知家长。该

检察官称，流浪汉服务欺诈导致数百万美元被盗

三名就职于通过洛杉矶机构接收纳税人资金的非营利组织人员被起诉。

作者：Brittany Mejia

联邦当局周三逮捕了三名就职于洛杉矶地区流浪汉非营利组织的人员，其中一人涉嫌挪用超过 $7.500 万 的纳税人资金，并将其用于资助一家夜总会及相邻宾果大厅的建设。

被捕人员包括：总部位于卡尔弗城的非营利组织“Home At Last”的创始人迈克尔·杨（Michael Young，46, 岁）；“Special Service for Groups”的员工拉基亚·马龙（Lakiya Malone，48, 岁）；以及总部位于洛杉矶的非营利组织“Big Blue Umbrella”的首席执行官兼董事多尼·米切尔（Donye Mitchell，55, 岁）。此次逮捕是针对流浪汉问题腐败的联邦打击行动的一部分。

杨和马龙尚未出庭就指控进行答辩。他们的律师未立即回应置评请求。

杨被指控犯有电汇欺诈罪，据称他花费超过一百万美元的纳税人资金在英格尔伍德开设并经营一家名为“Six Seven Five Lounge”的高端餐厅和夜总会。他还涉嫌将数百万美元的纳税人资金滥用于奢侈度假、古董车修复以及与流浪汉住房无关的商业地产。

“纳税人并没有同意资助这家夜总会，”司法部国家欺诈执法部门的助理总检察长科林·M·麦克唐纳（Colin M. McDonald）在周三的新闻发布会上表示。“对于那些欺诈旨在支持美国弱势群体的纳税人资助项目的人，请记住：你们短暂的欺诈快感将不值得这样做。”

根据一份刑事起诉书，杨利用壳公司和欺诈性计费手段，挪用了旨在用于流浪汉住房的资金，其中包括通过洛杉矶流浪汉服务局（LAHSA）管理的项目。

起诉书显示，LAHSA 曾向该非营利组织支付超过 7500万美元 用于流浪汉住房服务，但已于 6 月取消了与“Home At Last”的合同。

橙县爆炸性车祸后，悲痛与疑问如潮水般涌现

一名汽车网红和一名模特在他们的迈凯伦跑车撞上大树时丧生。

作者：汉娜·弗莱（HANNAH FRY）

在欧文市（Irvine）的卡尔弗大道（Culver Drive）上，一棵高耸的松树已成为一个临时纪念地。周日清晨，一场极其剧烈的火灾车祸导致一名汽车网红和一名年轻女性丧生，他们乘坐的豪华跑车被撞成了两截。

在焦黑的松树根部，摆放着数十束花束——玫瑰、雏菊和白百合。一辆 Hot Wheels 品牌保时捷以及其他异型跑车的玩具模型散落在落下的松针之间——这显然是对 27 岁的詹姆斯·韦尔（James Wehr）对汽车热情的致敬。

家属确认，在圣克莱门特（San Clemente）组织汽车爱好者每周聚会的韦尔是此次车祸的遇难者之一。乘客是 22 岁的亚历克西斯·克莱默（Alexis Kramer），她是佛罗里达州人，周末来拜访韦尔，她的家属

橙县验尸官尚未公开确认遇难者的身份。

根据已发表的报道，在车祸发生前的几个小时里，韦尔和克莱默据报道在纽波特比奇（Newport Beach）共进晚餐。

纽波特比奇警方向《时报》证实，韦尔在周六晚上，即车祸发生前大约五小时，被一名警员拦截。

据纽波特比奇警方发言人希瑟·兰格尔（Heather Rangel）称，周六晚上 7:21，韦尔在纽波特大道（Newport Boulevard）和芬利大道（Finley Avenue）附近驾驶时，一名警员“观察到一辆排气管噪音巨大的车辆”并启动了交通拦截。

“这次拦截的结果是向驾驶员发出警告，”兰格尔说。

当局尚未确定导致这辆 2019 年款迈凯伦跑车偏离道路的原因，但调查人员认为速度可能是一个因素。

卡鲁索与巴斯共同出席帕利塞德活动

作者：Noah Goldberg

市长凯伦·巴斯和亿万富翁开发商里克·卡鲁索周二共同出席了新帕利塞德娱乐中心（Palisades Recreation Center）的奠基仪式，这表明这两位 2022 年市长竞选对手之间有时冷若冰霜的关系正在回暖。

巴斯目前正面临挑战者尼蒂亚·拉曼（Nithya Raman）的连任挑战。在这次新中心的奠基仪式上，卡鲁索对市长的领导力表示赞赏。该中心将取代在 2025 年帕利塞德大火中被毁的旧中心。

“市长领导力的重要之处在于，她团结了全市的力量。她通过建立这种前所未有的庞大公私合作伙伴关系，开辟了新局面，”卡鲁索说道，并补充称市长是一位“伟大的领导者”。

但当记者追问他是否会支持巴斯连任时，卡鲁索回避了，称巴斯和议员拉曼都是“艰难的选择”。

“我认为这两个选项都不是完美的，”卡鲁索说。

当《时报》询问巴斯是否欢迎卡鲁索的支持时，她回避了这个问题，称奠基仪式“不涉及政治”。在市长进一步发言前，一名助手打断了她。

在 2022 年的选举中，巴斯以近 10 个百分点的优势击败了卡鲁索，尽管卡鲁索在他那场注定失败的竞选中投入了超过 1亿美元 的个人财富。

由于卡鲁索继续公开批评市长，许多人认为他今年会挑战巴斯的连任。

卡鲁索的儿子和女儿在帕利塞德大火中失去了家园。他称《时报》引用消息人士称巴斯淡化了关于火灾的事后报告调查结果的报道为“绝对的愤怒”。

“凯伦·巴斯积极掩盖了一份旨在调查洛杉矶历史上最重大灾难的报告，”他说。“这是公众信任的彻底丧失，是有意掩盖导致人员死亡之行为的行为。”

他最终决定不再尝试第二次竞选，从而为拉曼在最后一刻发起挑战铺平了道路。当时，卡鲁索表示他“对于退出一场我认为对加利福尼亚州未来至关重要的选举感到深感失望”。

周二，在与市长共同庆祝娱乐中心奠基时，他的语气变得更加乐观。该中心将包括运动场、网球场和健身房。

该中心将使用来自六个以上团体的 100% 慈善捐款建设——其中包括卡鲁索的非营利组织。

湖人队教练 JJ Redick 的非营利组织 LA Strong Sports 参与了娱乐中心的重建和筹款活动，他将巴斯和卡鲁索的关系比作运动队中不完美的连接。

“坦白说，连接并不总是完美的，”他说。“但我很感激我自己、里克·卡鲁索、巴斯市长及其办公室能够在这个项目上建立联系。”

尽管卡鲁索对巴斯的市长任期存有疑虑，但随着选举临近，他对市长的态度有所缓和——这可能预示着他可能会在巴斯面临左翼挑战时支持她。

卡鲁索周二表示，他还没有过多考虑支持问题，并表示很快将与拉曼会面讨论她的竞选。

卡鲁索曾是一名共和党人，于 2022, 登记为民主党人，他可能帮助巴斯吸引更多保守派选民，这些人可能在初选中投票给了斯宾塞·普拉特（Spencer Pratt）或科技企业家亚当·米勒（Adam Miller），而现在成为了争取目标。

但卡鲁索的支持也可能会损害她在更自由派选民中的地位。

卡鲁索开始在网络和新闻中更多地谈论美国民主社会主义者（DSA），这是一个支持拉曼竞选市长的左翼团体。

“DSA 的政策无法解决洛杉矶的问题，”他在周一在 X 上发帖称，“它们只会让情况变得更糟。洛杉矶需要常识性的解决方案。”

40 只以上的死海鸟在周末被冲上威尼斯海滩。 GENARO MOLINA 洛杉矶时报

大批死掉的鸬鹚被冲上威尼斯海滩

作者：诺亚·哈格蒂 (NOAH HAGGERTY) 和 卡罗琳·彼得罗-科恩 (CAROLINE PETROW-Cohen)

周末期间，有 40 多只死掉的鸬鹚被冲上了威尼斯海滩。这种黑色的鸟类以栖息在岩石上并展开翅膀晾干而闻名。

“我们通常不会看到这么多，”洛杉矶县海滩与港口局发言人尼科尔·穆拉迪安 (Nicole Mooradian) 表示。

尸体散落在海岸线上，而海滩上则挤满了周-

自去年秋天以来，大量死掉且消瘦的海鸟被冲上加利福尼亚州海滩的情况引起了野生动物专家的关注。他们表示，许多死亡病例可能与缺乏食物有关——一场极端的海洋热浪导致作为鸟类猎物的鱼类向北迁移或潜入更深的水下。寄生虫和感染也被认为在起作用

水手承认在南加州海军舰艇上贩毒

县政府雇员在周日上午发现了这些死鸟，并一直工作到下午才将其清理完毕。

ARNUN CHONMAHATRAKOOL Thai News Pix 另一名在“亚伯拉罕·林肯号”上服役的水手在 2023 年服用了一颗含有芬太尼的药丸后死亡。

作者：FEDOR ZARKHIN 活动结束。游泳者和日光浴者在很大程度上忽略了它们。

美国司法部表示，一名在驻圣迭戈的“亚伯拉罕·林肯号”航空母舰上贩毒的水手，在一名人员因服用含有芬太尼的药丸死亡后，仍继续向其他船员贩毒。

加利福尼亚州南区联邦检察官办公室在一份声明中表示，29 岁的贝利·斯兹拉莫夫斯基（Bailey Szramowski）周一在联邦法院承认在航空母舰上销售伪造的羟考酮药丸。

根据斯兹拉莫夫斯基的联邦刑事起诉书，一名在法庭文件中以缩写 A.N. 标识的男子于 2023 年 1 月 3 日在休假期间，住在加州圣利安德罗的一辆娱乐车中时死于芬太尼过量。十天后，该航空母舰上的另一名水手因药物过量住院，并被给予纳洛酮（Narcan），这是一种可停止阿片类药物作用的药物。

该男子在法庭记录中以缩写 C.L. 标识，他告诉调查人员，斯兹拉莫夫斯基在他在过量当天卖给了他三颗药丸。他还告诉调查人员，斯兹拉莫夫斯基和那名死于过量的水手大约一年来一直在向水手们“积极销售”药丸。

根据刑事起诉书，斯兹拉莫夫斯基迅速试图掩盖其行踪。

法庭记录显示，这三个人告诉调查人员，斯兹拉莫夫斯基告诉死者的姑姑、姑父和前未婚妻，删除他与受害者之间的短信，并告诉他们他可能会“因谋杀罪被定罪”。

死后，她搜查了他的物品，只发现了九颗药丸。

前未婚妻告诉调查人员，受害者曾告诉她，他花 $100 从斯兹拉莫夫斯基那里买了 10 颗药丸，并且在他死后，

几周后，斯兹拉莫夫斯基告诉前未婚妻，他给了受害者含有芬太尼的药丸，她告诉了调查人员，法庭记录如此显示。

斯兹拉莫夫斯基的配偶、同样是前水手的 25 岁约翰内斯·普迈希阿拉尼（Johnnese Poomaihealani）也被列入 2025 年 2 月 14 日的起诉书中，并承认销售含有芬太尼的伪造羟考酮药丸。

根据美国司法部的一份新闻稿，普迈希阿拉尼和斯兹拉莫夫斯基在第二名过量受害者过量后给他打了电话，并告诉他向警方称药丸是从那名死掉的水手那里得到的。

斯兹拉莫夫斯基和普迈希阿拉尼定于 12 月 11 日进行量刑。司法部表示，斯兹拉莫夫斯基面临 5 到 40 年的联邦监狱刑期，普迈希阿拉尼面临最高 20 年的刑期。

本周末鸬鹚死亡的原因尚不清楚。县公共卫生部表示，在能够对死鸟报告进行评估时，这些动物已被移走。

该部门认为公众没有面临更高的风险。

南加州有三种鸬鹚：双冠鸬鹚、布兰特鸬鹚和远洋鸬鹚。它们潜水捕鱼，游泳时只有脖子和头部露出水面。近看，它们的眼睛色彩非常丰富。

通常，当发现死亡的海鸟时，海滩与港口部会派遣人员对其拍照，并在收到请求时将其运送到当地野生动物组织进行分析。然而，如果该部门人手不足，则通过其“常规处置服务”丢弃这些动物。

这就是本周末发生的情况。

禽流感尚未被确定为近期大规模死亡的驱动因素，但今年春天在湾区海洋生物中检测到该疾病，促使加州公共卫生部建议公众在可能的情况下与所有海洋动物和海鸟保持 150 英尺的距离。

加州鱼类和野生动物部门建议，如果您看到虚弱的海鸟，请不要触摸它，不要尝试喂食，不要移除其身上嵌入的鱼钩，也不要与其合影。

如果海鸟搁浅，请联系当地的野生动物康复机构。死鸟可向加州鱼类和野生动物部门报告。

盗窃特斯拉追逐战在圣迭戈海滨步道结束；一名行人受伤

作者：Summer Lin

据当局称，周一下午，一名驾驶盗窃特斯拉的男子在圣迭戈引发警方追逐，最终在一条海滨步道上结束，驾驶员在途中撞到了一名行人。

根据警局的一份新闻稿，下午 12:19 左右，圣迭戈警方接报有一辆特斯拉被盗。

新闻稿称，警员在 12:31 左右发现了该车辆，驾驶员为 39 岁的胡安·冈萨巴（Juan Gonzaba），当时他正沿着米申大道（Mission Boulevard）向南行驶。据称，冈萨巴拒绝听从警员指令停车，随后引发了警方追逐。

新闻稿称，在追逐过程中，冈萨巴撞上了一个电变压器，然后从太平洋海滩大道（Pacific Beach Drive）驶入海滨步道，在行人附近高速行驶。

据称，冈萨巴撞到了一名行人，该行人因伤势严重被送往医院，但没有生命危险。

新闻稿称，冈萨巴随后涉嫌徒步逃跑，但附近的行人将其拦截，直到警员赶到并将其逮捕。

警方表示，冈萨巴因涉嫌酒后驾驶、造成身体伤害、涉及死亡 / 受伤的肇事逃逸、车辆盗窃以及无视安全且蓄意逃避执法人员等重罪被捕。

亚历克斯·斯鲁尔（Alex Srour）告诉 CBS 8 电视台，当时他正骑车在海滨步道上，听到有人尖叫：“小心！”

据该电视台报道，斯鲁尔表示冈萨巴冲过海滨步道并撞到了他的自行车。在冈萨巴离开车辆试图逃跑后，斯鲁尔追上去并将他扑倒在地。

斯鲁尔还拿出手机，在冈萨巴试图逃跑时开始录像。

“我有一种预感他会跑，”斯鲁尔告诉 CBS 8 电视台。“因为做了那种事之后谁会不跑？除非他们受伤了。他直接走出了车外。所以我就在想……‘这家伙要跑了。’我立刻就介入，追他。如果我没穿勃肯鞋（Birkenstocks），追他会容易得多。我中途把鞋脱了。……事情就是这样发生的。我骑在他身上，对着他的脸大喊。就像……‘这太不对了。’”

根据该电视台获取的追逐视频片段，可以看到一辆蓝色特斯拉在海滨步道上疾驰。在步道上行走的人们险些被撞，一名女性在车辆疾驰而过前及时跳过了护栏。

在冈萨巴被制服后，视频片段显示他躺在地上，穿着一件写着“F—around and find out”（敢试就试试看）的衬衫。

交通报道的服务与风险史

美联社 Nick UT 1977年的一起直升机坠毁事故导致KNBC飞行员弗朗西斯·加里·鲍尔斯（Francis Gary Powers）丧生，他曾为美国中央情报局（CIA）工作。

[接B1页莫里森的内容] 就在其中。在“空中观察”（Airwatch）的飞行员座位上，马克斯机长（Captain Max）引导着洛杉矶人穿过交通拥堵，并做了更多工作。他曾协助营救在鲍德温山（Baldwin Hills）水坝坍塌中受困的人员，并协助警方追踪逃跑的罪犯——就像现在的新闻飞行员所做的那样。

他会对那些围观者说：“各位，开车小心点，把事故留给我们处理。”

他的高科技资源是那本笨重但极其有用的托马斯兄弟（Thomas Bros.）南加州街道与公路指南。

1958, 7月，起飞后不久发动机故障迫使他降落。他向一个学校操场飞去，但当他发现孩子们时，他猛打方向，撞进了一棵树中。随行的记者再也没有飞行过，而马克斯机长则留下了一次英勇的跛行。

他的新单位KMPC出版了一本关于他英勇事迹的漫画书，名为《马克斯机长的真实冒险》。封面显示他英勇地掌控着操纵杆，火焰向着起落架跃起，描述中写道他飞越“灼热的森林大火，飞越汹涌的洪水……以援助警方、消防部门和洛杉矶市民”。

舒马赫（Schumacher）正飞往道奇体育场，日期是 30, 1966, 8月，寻找一名据称在附近开枪的人。他的朋友、洛杉矶警察局（LAPD）直升机飞行员亚历克斯·N·伊尔尼基（Alex N. Ilnicki）也是如此。

两人经常就各自的飞行任务保持联系，但这次没有。他们的贝尔直升机在半空中相撞，燃烧的残骸落在帕萨迪纳高速公路（Pasadena Freeway）上惊恐的驾驶员头顶。舒马赫的托马斯兄弟指南在残骸中被发现。

飞行员和三名乘客全部遇难。美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）得出结论，阳光眩光导致两名飞行员失明。坠机事件后，专业直升机飞行员协会（Professional Helicopter Pilots Assn.，现昵称为 SoCal Rotors）成立。

20世纪60年代的美国人认识弗朗西斯·加里·鲍尔斯，是因为他是1960年在苏联俄罗斯上空被击落的秘密U-2侦察机的CIA飞行员，并在冷战高峰期的1962, 通过囚犯交换回国。

到了70年代，洛杉矶人认识的鲍尔斯则是一名空中交通飞行员。在为KGIL广播电台驾驶飞机以及为KNBC新闻驾驶直升机之前，他曾短暂担任洛克希德（Lockheed）的试飞员。

1977年8月 1, 1977, 星期一中午左右，他的KNBC新闻直升机在恩西诺（Encino）的塞普尔韦达水坝（Sepulveda Dam）娱乐区的一片田野中坠毁。鲍尔斯和摄影师乔治·斯皮尔斯（George Spears）丧生。警方表示，鲍尔斯可能是为了避开附近打软球的孩子，才故意将飞机降落在那个位置。

美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）得出结论，坠机是由“不必要的燃料管理不善”造成的。

但兰格（Lange）记得这次坠机以及可能的原因。

她说：“他刚加入我们，我们对他进行了直升机培训。他飞往圣巴巴拉报道一场火灾，他带着录像带，急于在新闻播报前及时赶回。”

她继续说道：“他的油量低，但他决定油量足够返回。但他没记得我们的直升机装载了多少[视频]设备，它比他想象的要重得多得多。”

1986年6月 4, 1986, 清晨，在富勒顿（Fullerton）机场，KFI广播电台资深的“天空之眼”布鲁斯·韦恩（Bruce Wayne）驾驶他的蓝白相间的塞斯纳飞机起飞。飞机坠毁了。

他的妻子洛伊斯（Lois）坚强地开车前往现场，并在KFI电台的节目中与听众交谈了两个多小时，讲述这次事故和她的丈夫。

韦恩在1961. 曾是波士顿第一位飞行交通记者布鲁斯·阿尔福德（Bruce Alford）。当他搬到加利福尼亚州时，为了向他崇拜的“蝙蝠侠”角色致敬，他更改了自己的名字。

美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）的调查人员无法确定此次坠机事故的确切原因。他们发现发动机气缸存在一定的压力损失，并且韦恩的血液酒精浓度为 0.04，这达到了美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）定义的法定醉酒水平。洛伊斯·韦恩表示，他在前一天晚上喝了两杯葡萄酒，并在晚上 9 点前就上床睡觉了。此外，韦恩还患有严重的高血压问题。

当天，KFI 请求听众开启汽车大灯以示悼念。

兰格于 1967 年被聘为 KABC 电台的早间交通记者，艺名为“黎明之日”（Dawn O’Day）。《洛杉矶时报》杂志的一篇文章将她描述为一名“浅金色头发的宁芙”。

天空曾是一片前沿领域，且带有浓厚的男性色彩。尽管兰格是在电台进行报道，但她必须穿着一件紧身银色连体衣和银色靴子，左胸前贴着一个巨大的圆形徽章，上面写着“KABC Ladybirds”。这套服装为偶尔随行视察的大佬赞助商们增添了某种魅力因素。

NBC4 在悲痛中报道

[NBC, from B1] 空中出现了那个……我们看到了巨大的烟柱，意识到又发生了其他事情。”

“就在几个街区外，我们的直升机坠毁了，”威廉姆斯说道。

“停车场里有一人死亡，直升机上的两人也失去了生命。这简直难以想象。”

据 NBC4 称，莫雷诺和马尔西尼被誉为“天空中的眼睛和耳朵”。两人于 2023 年开始共同飞行，负责报道包括警方追捕和 2025 年洛杉矶县山火在内的故事。

莫雷诺来自橙县，毕业于查普曼大学，拥有广播新闻学和政治学学位。她自 2010 年起就在新闻直升机上飞行。她已订婚。

莫雷诺在 Instagram 上被称为“直升机里的埃莉”（Eli in the heli），并为 NBCLA 和 Telemundo 52 报道。

NBC4 表示，马尔西尼同样在南加州长大，并于 1974 年毕业于伯班克高中。他曾担任志向成为飞行员者的飞行教员。

根据一份飞行教员简介，马尔西尼担任直升机飞行教员超过 30 年，飞行时长达 14,000 小时。他的基地被列为帕科伊马的怀特曼机场，并隶属于太平洋旋翼直升机培训中心（Pacific Rotorways Helicopter Training）。

周二的直升机坠毁事故导致埃莉安娜·莫雷诺、乔治·马尔西尼以及一名地面人员死亡。

马尔西尼的 Facebook 个人资料将其描述为一名在航空拍摄、监视、飞行教学和直升机管理方面具有经验的飞行员。

直升机是南加州新闻采集的重要组成部分，有助于记录灌木火灾、大规模枪击事件，当然还有警方追捕。

NBC4 坠机事故的原因尚不明确。

NBC4 表示，该直升机由 Angel City Air 运营。

直升机于晚上 7 点左右在梅森大道 9100 街区两栋商业建筑之间坠毁。

KCAL 记者德斯蒙德·肖向主播帕特·哈维讲述了在坠机后立即抵达现场时的恐怖经历。

“我盯着它看，立刻就知道我们面对的是什么，”他告诉哈维。

他说，他知道自己必须抛开情绪去报道这个故事。他说，他的手机立刻被人们询问他情况的电话和短信填满了。“我被震惊了，”他说。

1977 年，弗朗西斯·加里·鲍尔斯在恩西诺的一次直升机坠毁事故中丧生，当时他担任 KNBC 的“电讯直升机”（Telecopter）记者。

鲍尔斯和一名 KNBC 摄像师乔治·斯皮尔斯在报道圣巴巴拉北部的灌木火灾返回途中，由鲍尔斯驾驶的直升机在塞普尔韦达大坝附近的一片开阔地坠毁，在地面上犁出一条 21 英尺长的深沟，两人全部遇难。

根据《时报》的档案，鲍尔斯是一名“保守的飞行员”，但在他最后一次飞行中耗尽了燃料。

鲍尔斯是冷战历史上的一个人物。在为美国中央情报局（CIA）担任 U-2 间谍机飞行员期间，鲍尔斯于 1960 年在苏联上空被击落。

2000 年，一架报道奥斯卡金像奖的 Fox 11 直升机在范奈斯机场坠毁并起火。据《时报》当时报道，飞行员在坠毁于机场东南角前不久报告了机械故障。一名来自竞争台的电视直升机飞行员在听到该直升机的紧急无线电传输后表示，在晚上 10 点刚过，飞行员报告液压动力丧失时，该飞行器正飞向神庙礼堂（Shrine Auditorium）。

在周二由几位当地领导人出席的新闻发布会结束时，跪在第一排、镜头拍不到位置的 KNBC 记者罗伯特·科瓦奇克站了起来，并越过警戒线。KCAL-TV 的画面显示，市长凯伦·巴斯认出了他，走上前给了他一个长久的拥抱。

洛杉矶县主管林赛·霍瓦斯（Lindsey Horvath，其管辖区包括查茨沃思）以及洛杉矶消防局的成员也被看到在现场与科瓦奇克及其他 NBC4 记者交谈并拥抱。

家长知情权的法律格局正在发生变化

[家长，接 B1]

同样的通知规则也适用于洗手间的使用或体育活动的参与。

州总检察长罗布·邦塔立即在法庭上对该政策提出质疑，该政策随后被暂停执行。2024年10月，Sachs法官裁定该政策的大部分内容具有歧视性——因此是非法的——因为它将一组学生单独列出，并给予与其它学生不同的对待。

他举例说明，可能会出现这样一种情况：一名学生秘密地向学校辅导员出柜，而该辅导员随后被要求立即通知家长，即便这违背了学生的意愿。

Sachs总结道，一项可能导致学校员工必须采取强制行动的政策，将继续与2025年一项加州法律的意图相冲突，该法律禁止学校系统强迫教师告知家长学生的性别情况。

“那是极其不恰当的，而且现在依然不恰当，”Sachs在周二表示。

他补充说，法律格局中发生变化的是，当家长请求获取关于其子女性别状态、性取向或任何其他影响该子女的事项信息时，应当如何处理。

新规则与新裁决

初审法院的裁决——并在3月获得最高法院多数席位的确认——指出，家长有权要求获取其子女在学校的性别认同信息。学校工作人员不能向家长撒谎——包括关于学生希望向家长隐瞒的问题。

代表奇诺谷（Chino Valley）的律师艾米莉·雷（Emily Rae）表示，Sachs承认家长有权了解其子女信息的做法是正确的，但他的裁决还远远不够——家长通知制度应当在全州范围内强制执行。

奇诺谷还针对2025年的法律发起了另一项待决的法院挑战，认为该法律与最高法院的方向相悖，而最高法院的裁决应当优先。

代表州政府的副总检察长德尔伯特·特兰（Delbert Tran）周二拒绝接受采访，但在他与Sachs的交流中，很明显他认为考虑到最高法院最近的指令，这次裁决已经达到了可能的最大程度的胜利。

他还表示，家长通知政策的支持者误述或误解了在实践中以及在州法律下存在的家长与教师的关系。他说，家长拥有旁听课程和会见教师的法定权利，而预期是教师将就孩子的需求和进步与家长进行自由且频繁的沟通。

学区捍卫其权利观点

奇诺谷（Chino Valley）是圣贝纳迪诺县一个拥有 26,000 名学生的学区。在学区董事会主席索尼娅·肖（Sonja Shaw）的领导下，该学区通过并捍卫了一系列受到家长活动人士、宗教保守派以及特朗普总统支持的政策。肖是一名共和党人，目前正在竞选州公共教育总监一职。

在她的领导下，该教育系统采取了以下立场：在学校和教室中实施旗帜禁令政策（这被广泛认为是以针对同性恋自豪旗为目标）；移除学校图书馆中被认为含有色情段落的书籍；以及致力于禁止跨性别运动员参加女子体育赛事并进入女子更衣室。

肖出席了周二的听证会，并批评了萨克斯（Sachs）法官的推理。

“当他说家长只有在询问时才有权知道，那么你如何知道自己被欺骗了，或者秘密被隐藏了？”肖在听证会后表示，“这绝对毫无道理。”

肖认为法官应该做“正确的事：维护家长抚养自己孩子的宪法权利”。

为了应对萨克斯法官可能针对原政策作出的不利裁决，奇诺谷学区董事会对政策进行了修订，将其扩大到所有学生。根据现行政策，如果任何学生“请求更改其正式或非正式记录，应通知家长 / 监护人，以确保家长 / 监护人了解并参与其孩子教育的所有方面”。

换句话说，如果一名名叫威廉（William）的异性恋男学生决定在班级点名册（一项正式记录）上被称作罗伯特（Robert），他的父母将会收到通知。

2024, 萨克斯接受了这一版本的通知政策，因为学生没有因为性别而受到差别对待。

该版本的政策目前仍然有效。

肖表示，从那时起，学区在涉及孩子生活的重要问题上一直对家长保持“透明”。而周二的裁决不会改变这一点。

她补充说，在未来，学区可以积极询问家长是否希望被告知其孩子的性别认同，且一旦获得许可，该许可将在学生就读小学期间持续有效。

在入职的第一天，兰格（Lange）被一名同行交通记者捉弄了。对方告诉她 405 号高速公路与威尔希尔大道（Wilshire Boulevard）交汇处发生了重大事故。在前往现场的途中，兰格不断向听众发出警告。但当她到达那里时，“什么也没有”。

那个捉弄她的同事的声音再次在她的耳机中响起：“看吧，小鸟（Ladybird），你本该留在厨房里的。”

当时的领空处于一种近乎无序的状态。

“那时我们从[帕科伊马的]白人航空公园（White-man air park）起飞，那里没有[交通管制]塔，”她说，“我们唯一能着陆的方法就是观察地面的阴影，看看是否有其他飞机在进出。”

“我很惊讶自己能活下来。”

促使她放弃飞行——并拒绝更多留在空中的邀请——的事件发生在一架固定翼飞机上。

兰格说，她的飞行员不得不躲避另一架迎面而来的飞机，在进行了一次“翻转”后，才得以在范努斯机场（Van Nuys Airport）降落。飞行员当时惊魂未定，一直在哭泣。兰格直接走进了航站楼。

“我给家里的 KABC 电台老板打电话，告诉他我必须辞职，”她回忆道，“他说，‘为什么？’我告诉了他原因。他说，‘什么时候？’我看了看表说，‘六分钟前’。”

一名交通和新闻飞行员——机长马克斯（Captain Max）的继任者吉姆·希克林（Jim Hicklin）——在某种程度上死于公职。兰格曾收到一些诽谤信，希克林和其他空中记者也收到了类似的信件。一名男子在信中指责他们——尤其是希克林——不停地在自己家上空低空盘旋，并犯下了“道德罪行”。

[...OMITTED...]

她把自己的信扔进了垃圾桶。而希克林犯了回复对方的错误，告诉那个人停止这种行为。1973年4月，市政府正对发信人提起轻罪指控，且希克林曾被警告不要出现在 KMPC 的圣诞游行花车上，因为有人威胁要枪杀他。

那个月，希克林在广播中公布了他和妻子即将参加的一次邮轮旅行详情。写信的人登上了这艘邮轮，并开枪击中希克林的头部，导致其死亡。

空中记者与听众之间拥有一种独特的亲密感，他们的声音和画面将他们的个性以及有用、甚至令人震惊的实时信息填满了汽车和房屋。1994年，《纽约客》发表了一篇题为《热烈追击》（Hot Pursuit）的文章，探讨这类记者。

文章重点介绍了空中记者玛丽卡·图尔（Marika Tur）和佐伊·图尔（Zoey Tur）的工作，她们曾追踪 O.J. 辛普森驾驶的白色布朗科车在高速公路上缓慢逃逸的过程。在 1992 年洛杉矶骚乱期间，她们在佛罗伦萨大道和诺曼底大道上方约 75 英尺处进行直播，播出了令人震惊的画面：一名卡车司机被从驾驶室中拽出，并被愤怒的居民殴打至几乎死亡。

作者描述了这类人在洛杉矶这座城市中扮演的独特角色，他们工作在这样一个“分散且没有摩天大楼的城市，永无止境的早晚高峰阻碍了那些试图四处奔波的记者”。

家属哀悼橙县爆炸性车祸中丧生的人员

[欧文，接B1页]

警察局告诉《时报》：“你需要有足够的速度才能做到那样。”

警方表示，在事故发生前，驾驶迈凯伦跑车的司机在库尔弗大道（Culver Drive）向北行驶，并在迪尔菲尔德大道（Deerfield Avenue）的红灯前停下。当绿灯亮起时，司机迅速加速，在交叉路口的路面上留下了深色的轮胎印。库尔弗大道该路段的限速为 50 英里 / 小时。

警方称，由于司机失去控制，这辆跑车向右偏离，冲上路缘石并撞上了一棵树，导致车辆被撞成 2 截并起火燃烧。

多年来，欧文宽阔的街道为超速、街道赛车和非法集结（takeovers）提供了绝佳场所——有时会导致毁灭性的结果。居民们长期以来一直抱怨，在城市的各大主干道上，高性能车辆激增，它们在路上疾驰、漂移打转，司机们在凌晨时分轰鸣引擎。

“欧文有这些很长且非常笔直的街道，”Ol-doerp 说道，“在夜晚，这里就像一条完全开放的高速公路。”

车辆停下来凝视着纪念碑。

出生于澳大利亚的韦尔（Wehr）在橙县小有名气，他是“南橙县汽车与咖啡”（South OC Cars & Coffee）的联合创始人，该活动由他与父亲西蒙（Simon）共同经营。这场被誉为全球最大规模的每周车展，经常吸引数百辆车辆前往圣克莱门特奥特莱斯（Outlets at San Clemente），其中包括顶级超跑（hypercars）、超级跑车、改装车、肌肉车和摩托车。

“太突然了，”韦尔的母亲萨拉·韦尔（Sarah Wehr）在社交媒体上为儿子写道，“我们在 17, 1999 年 8 月凌晨 2:36 将你带到这个世界上，看着你成长为如今这样出色的男人。你对人们、对朋友和家人的爱无出其右。我还记得你在澳大利亚珀斯家中迈出的第一步。”

“我记得一切。全部都记得。那极具感染力的开怀大笑和调皮的微笑。詹姆斯，感谢我们有幸认识并爱你的这些年，”她写道。

橙县的记录显示，韦尔自 2017 年起曾因十多次违反车辆法规而被开具罚单。法院记录显示，今年他曾四次因涉嫌违规被开罚单，包括未悬挂车牌、未携带登记卡和保险证明，以及排气管失效。

“能有机会爱你将永远是我生命中最大的祝福，”她写道，“就像我在誓言中所说，我非常感激能有机会在与你共存的时光里生活。无论是在这一世还是下一世，我的心永远会找到通往你的路。安息吧，我的爱。”

最严重的指控发生在 2023 年，当时他被指控车速超过 100 英里 / 小时。法院记录显示，他辩称无罪，该违章记录在 2024 年被撤销。

韦尔与周日车祸的另一名受害者克拉默（Kramer）之间的关系尚不明确。

韦尔于 2025 年 7 月在橙市旧城（Old Towne Orange）的 Grand Gimeno 场馆与妻子艾玛（Emma）结婚。根据这对夫妇的婚礼网站，两人在大学相识，交往三年后在西班牙伊比萨岛的一处悬崖上订婚。

Oldoerp 表示，警察局近年来利用无人机和其他技术打击超速和街道赛车，以抓捕违规者。

过去这个周末。”

根据克拉默的 Instagram 简介，她还是 2026 年 Hooters 日历的模特。

她的姐姐在社交媒体的一篇帖子中写道，克拉默“远不止是我的好朋友，她是我的全部爱意、我的心、我的态度和我的幽默，被包裹在一个更小、更混乱、更不加掩饰的躯壳里。她是我的另一半。”

这段悼词包含了一些照片，记录了姐妹俩小时候在南瓜地里的样子，以及在一家日式牛排馆庆祝克拉默生日的情景。

2020年，该部门与其他警察机构共同组建了橙县街头赛车 / 非法集结执法小组，以加强执法力度。2016年，该市因街头赛车和鲁莽驾驶共逮捕19人，开出195张罚单。根据城市数据，2021年，警员共逮捕25人，开出309张罚单。

“一直以来就只有我们两个，”凯特琳·克莱默写道。“当我们任何一个人陷入困境时，我们总是蜷缩在对方的床上，试图一起寻找解决办法。我不知道在没有她的情况下，该如何面对这次困境。”

克莱默的姐姐凯特琳在社交媒体上写道，韦尔曾告诉这位22岁的女孩，他“几乎完成了离婚手续，且处于极度分离状态”。一名家庭成员告诉《加州邮报》，在两人通过Instagram交谈约一个月后，韦尔邀请克莱默前往加利福尼亚会面。

“我们在全市范围内执行交通法规，”奥尔多普（Oldoerp）表示，并补充说该部门在打击街头赛车方面“非常强势”。

与此同时，数据显示，年度交通事故数量从2016年的590起下降到2021年的93起。

周日车祸引发的烈火规模如此之大，以至于烧毁了人行道另一侧种植的灌木，而那里距离汽车撞击树木的位置有数英尺之远。周二，一个挂在长链上的银色十字架悬在松树的树皮上，树皮因大火而剥落并被熏黑。步行和乘车的路人

艾玛·韦尔在周末于Instagram上发布了一系列照片以纪念她的丈夫。她的账号随后被设为私密。

非营利组织员工被指挪用 LAHSA 资金

[欺诈，接 B1 版]

MICHAEL YOUNG 被指将数百万美元的纳税人资金用于度假及其他开支。

（该机构）表示，在“出现严重的违规证据且 HAL 未能履行其合同义务后”，已取消相关合同。

该机构指出，其已在案件中积极配合联邦调查人员，且 LAHSA 的工作人员未涉入任何违规行为。

声明称：“我们感谢美国司法部（DOJ）在追究这些不法分子责任方面所做的努力，并始终致力于确保每一笔追回的纳税人资金都能回到其预定用途：拯救洛杉矶无家可归者的生命。”

去年，洛杉矶县监事会投票决定将县级资金从 中撤出，并设立自己的部门。此前两项关键审计发现，作为市县联合机构的 未能妥善追踪其资金和项目，导致其容易出现浪费和欺诈现象。

在周三的新闻发布会上，住房与城市发展部部长 Scott Turner 痛批 的记录“极其失败”。

他表示：“ 一直在利用美国纳税人的血汗钱资助‘无家可归者工业复合体’，而欺诈行为则一直猖獗。”

Malone 被一项包含 21 项指控的起诉书指控，称其收受了来自 Alexander Soofer 的 $180,000 以上贿赂和回扣，后者曾是非营利组织 Abundant Blessings 的执行董事。Soofer 已于今年被起诉，并同意就电汇欺诈和洗钱罪名认罪。

根据起诉书，Malone 涉嫌为无家可归者住房参与者提供优先推荐，其中包括从未在 Abundant Blessings 场所居住或接受服务的“幽灵”参与者。

在的一份声明中，Malone 就职的非营利组织 Special Service for Groups（一个独立于 的实体）表示，该组织已实施预防协议和合规实践，并且组织“已采取进一步措施来加强这些措施”。

声明写道：“每一美元的托付资金——无论是联邦、州、地方还是私人资金——都必须得到保护并按预期使用。”

联邦当局指控 Mitchell 欺诈性地获得了一家由洛杉矶县资助的非营利组织提供的 $1.200 万 以上的拨款资金。

Mitchell 被指控犯有电汇欺诈罪，涉嫌将该资金用于个人开支，包括在 2024 年因涉嫌家庭暴力和袭击被捕后支付自己的保释金费用、虚报薪水、偿还信用卡债务、家庭转账、房租以及 PlayStation 消费。

美国助理检察官 Bill Essayli 在一份声明中表示：“这些诈骗者的规模和胆量暴露了加利福尼亚州和洛杉矶县在保护公共资金方面的严重失败。”

“纳税人理应获得交代。我们将追踪资金流向，揭露腐败，并起诉那些为了个人私利而剥削美国人民的人。”

罗克尔·N·汉金 1947年4月12日 - 2026年8月28日

罗克尔·内森·汉金（Rockell Nathan Hankin）是一位深受爱戴的丈夫、父亲、朋友、企业高管，以及卡夫利基金会（The Kavli Foundation）的长期主席。他于2026年8月28日在妻子和子女的陪伴下安详离世。

罗克尔拥有漫长且成功的职业生涯，从普莱斯水屋（Price Waterhouse）洛杉矶华纳中心办公室最年轻的合伙人之一，晋升为管理合伙人。随后，他担任了卡夫利基金会、Kavlico 和 Semtech 的董事会主席，并在十多家其他公司董事会任职。他还曾在北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校（UNC Charlotte）和南加州大学（USC）法学院教授创业学和公司治理。

当艾琳（Eileen）的婚姻结束且四个儿子仍在家中时，她需要工作来养家，但仍希望继续担任全职母亲。出于实际考虑，她接受了当地学区的一份簿记员工作，因为其工作时间让她能在早晨送儿子们出门，并在他们回家时在场。尽管在该岗位上没有任何培训或经验，但她表现卓越，并利用这份收入让家人留在纽波特比奇（Newport Beach），以确保儿子们不必离开原有的学校或球队。每场比赛她都会在下班后直接赶到。由于无法负担富裕家庭举办的球队晚餐，她向当地企业筹集水球募捐资金，以便她的儿子们能拥有平等的机会。即使在孩子们搬出家后很久，她依然在每个圣诞节找一份兼职工作，以便在预算紧张的情况下创造特别的时刻。

罗克尔坚信基础科学研究能够造福全人类。在他众多的事业中，他认为通过在卡夫利基金会服务来支持基础科学研究是最深远的。罗克尔的领导力塑造了该基金会20多年的发展，其中包括担任董事会主席十余年。他在创建卡夫利研究所（Kavli Institutes）和全球科学荣誉奖项——卡夫利奖（The Kavli Prize）方面发挥了关键作用。

在整个生命周期中，罗克尔热爱冒险并保持积极的生活方式。他最喜欢的活动包括壁球和航空。他是一名持证飞行员，尤其热爱飞行，并经常驾驶单引擎飞机带家人进行冒险之旅。

最重要的是，罗克尔是一个极其顾家的男人。他深爱妻子丽莎（Lisa）。他为两个孩子凯瑟琳（Kathyrine）和罗基（Rocky）感到无比自豪，两人目前都在攻读研究生学位。他的兄弟西奥多·汉金（Theodore Hankin）也在世。

为了纪念罗克尔及其持久的遗产，将举行一场生命庆典。相关人员请联系卡夫利基金会。家属建议，请以捐款形式代替鲜花，将款项捐赠给胰腺癌行动网络（PanCAN）或霍格医院基金会（Hoag Hospital Foundation）以纪念罗克尔。

卡德特在通往成功的道路上砥砺前行

马歇尔高中四分卫为了在更高水平的赛场上打球，不分昼夜地训练。

作者：埃里克·桑德海默 (ERIC SONDHEIMER)

这是温莎山（Windsor Hills）的除夕之夜，纳撒尼尔·卡德特（Nathaniel Cadet）决定现在不是庆祝的时候。他按下跑步机上的山地模式按钮，开始 45 分钟的锻炼。随后，他在午夜之后——在鞭炮声响起、细雨飘洒之时——走到室外跳绳。

什么样的青少年会在除夕之夜的午夜不玩电子游戏、不开启气泡苹果酒，也不睡觉？

是一个有梦想需要去实现的人。

凭借 4.7 的平均绩点（GPA）以及在更高水平赛场上打球的坚定决心，卡德特不愿将任何事情交给运气。这位洛杉矶马歇尔高中（L.A. Marshall High）的高年级四分卫愿意做任何事情来提高自己。他参加过训练营，向私人教练学习，在海滩奔跑，在清晨和深夜训练，以保持他的梦想不灭。

在谈到他对训练的投入时，他说：“我想为这一年的其余时间定下基调。”

纳撒尼尔·卡德特（高年级）通过在除夕之夜训练，为这一年“定下基调”。

他说：“只要能最大限度地推进我的职业生涯，我愿意做任何事。”

这位身高 6 英尺、体重 170 磅的四分卫帮助马歇尔高中取得了 3-0 的开局，传球码数达 460 码，并贡献了 9 次达阵。上午，他锻炼；下午，他锻炼；晚上训练结束后，他依然在锻炼。如果他正在

本周顶级高中橄榄球赛事

周五

橙色路德教会学校 (Orange Lutheran, 3-1) 对阵 塞拉峡谷学校 (Sierra Canyon, 3-0)，晚上 7 点。这场比赛应该是本赛季最精彩的比赛之一。前线阵地的较量将令人难忘：由即将前往德克萨斯州的卢卡斯·罗亚（Lucas Rhoa）领衔的橙色路德教会学校进攻线，将对阵塞拉峡谷学校出色的防守线，其中包括身穿 99 号球衣的前 Lancer 球员马库斯·法卡图（Marcus Fakatou）。能够通过跑球更好地为传球进攻创造机会的球队将获胜。预测结果：塞拉峡谷学校。

JSerra (3-1) 对阵 Bishop Amat (4-0)，晚上 7 点

尽管 Bishop Amat 的表现令人印象深刻，但面对一支三一联盟（Trinity League）的球队绝非易事。JSerra 在进攻线和防守线上都拥有体型优势，并且在首场比赛输给 Sierra Canyon 后，凭借连续三场胜利持续进步。预测结果：JSerra。

从午夜到凌晨 3 点做作业，这对他来说并不奇怪。这是一种平衡艺术，而他热爱这种状态。

他去年春天加入了田径队，目的是为了提高速度。他的 40 码冲刺时间是 4.6 秒。

“我需要在后撤步中变得更快，并建立起我提升能力所需的根基，”卡登（Cadet）说道。

如果你还没有注意到，卡登正充满动力地将他的技能和工作

— 埃里克·桑德海默（Eric SONDHEIMER）

职业操守发挥到极致，且不会让任何人设置路障来阻挡他。

何塞·拉佐（Jose Razo）在马歇尔（Marshall）担任了 17 年助理教练，随后在 2024 年成为主教练。他表示，学校历史上很少有像卡登这样有天赋的四分卫。

“他在马歇尔做出了我们很久没见到的表现，”拉佐说。“他只是在努力争取机会来展示自己的能力。尽管缺乏（大学招募人员的）关注，但这并没有让他气馁。谁能得到他谁就幸运。他能提升周围每个人的水平。”

让我们回到那次午夜训练。他当时在想什么？

“我的父母在房间里睡觉，”他说。“我哥哥在房间里。我在看纽约的除夕球掉落，因为我在东海岸有很多亲戚。球掉落之后，因为那里比我们这里早 3 小时，我在想，‘我知道自己必须达到多么优秀的水平才能开启正确的一年，我现在能做些什么？’”

“这个想法不是从哪里听来的。我只是在想，既然我可以在年初现在就开始工作，为什么还要等到第二天或第三天。”

从那时起，卡登就从未停止努力。

他并不是个扫兴的人，但他肩负着成功的使命。无论时间、地点或情况如何，变得更快、更强是首要任务。

免费进入布鲁因斯（Bruins）

[加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA），接B10页]

[美国，接生物页] 周三的变动旨在提高出席率，并吸引更多人付费加入看台上的学生群体。

2025年，布鲁因队（Bruins）在玫瑰碗球场记录了自1982年迁至该地以来的最差主场出席率，场均观众为37,282人——远低于该体育场92,542人的容量。自2016年以来，玫瑰碗球场在单个赛季中的场均观众从未超过60,000人，且自2018年以来未能吸引超过50,000名观众。

哈里斯（Harris）非常希望在切斯尼（Chesney）的首场玫瑰碗比赛中改善球迷出席情况，为此他在上周对阵圣迭戈的比赛中向球迷捐赠了300张门票。“西伍德之冠”（Champion of Westwood）的首席执行官肯·格雷沃（Ken Graiwer）对此做出回应，匹配了哈里斯的捐赠，赠送了600张门票。

据《加州邮报》（California Post）报道，加州大学洛杉矶分校公布的是周六比赛的扫描入场人数，而非球队常用的门票分发数量，从而提供了玫瑰碗球场内人员的准确统计。

9月9日，哈里斯与体育部门宣布了“四指向上，球迷至上”（Fours Up, Fans First）计划，旨在加强支持者与所有布鲁因体育项目之间的联系，同时改善在玫瑰碗球场的足球比赛日体验。

该活动的核心是“BruWin奖励计划”——一项全新的球迷忠诚度计划，旨在全年奖励观众，让球迷有机会赚取积分，用于兑换专属奖励、体验和奖品。该计划的其他方面包括球迷友好的票价、为赛前车尾派对准备的音乐会，以及在每场主场比赛前由布鲁因传奇人物引导球队入场。

虽然加州大学洛杉矶分校的足球主场出席率是一个明显的痛点，但保利场馆（Pauley Pavilion）男子篮球赛的平均出席率也差不多。

布鲁因队主场比赛的场均观众为7,036人，在十大联盟（Big Ten）中处于最低水平之列。

由于保利场馆位于校园内且靠近学生，男子篮球赛可能是此次变动最大的受益者，这将使布鲁因队在除赛季最重大比赛之外的更多场次中拥有具有竞争力的主场氛围——尽管体育部门必须决定如何分配加州大学洛杉矶分校对阵南加州大学（USC）的门票，因为后者传统上能吸引满场观众。

哈里斯曾任湖人队高管且是加州大学洛杉矶分校校友，最初被聘请为该部门的预算提供咨询。在贾蒙德（Jarmond）被解雇后，哈里斯在正式招聘填补该职位之前被任命为无偿负责人。

然而，在加州大学洛杉矶分校第一周战胜加州大学之前，校长胡利奥·弗伦克（Julio Frenck）发布了一张照片，将哈里斯确定为该部门的“永久”首席执行官兼体育总监。

底特律狮队 (1-0) 对阵 布法罗比尔队 (1-0)

今晚，5:15。电视：Amazon Prime Video。盘口：比尔队让 $4^{1 / 2}$ 分。总分 O / U：$53^{1 / 2}$ 分。布法罗的比尔队在艰苦地战胜休斯顿后迎来主场揭幕战，乔什·艾伦（Josh Allen）状态良好。底特律的进攻线正面临一些伤病问题。比尔队有足够的能力限制贾米尔·吉布斯（Jahmyr Gibbs）造成的破坏。预测：比尔队 28，狮队 24

豹队 (0-1) 客场对阵 猎鹰队 (0-1)

周日，上午 10 点，电视转播：NFL Ticket。 盘口：豹队让 $1^{1 / 2}$。总分预测 (O / U)：$43^{1 / 2}$。

卡罗来纳上周丢了 59 分，但至少豹队得到了 37. Cooper Rush 在迈克尔·佩尼克斯 (Michael Penix Jr.) 准备好接手之前，是猎鹰队一个不错的临时四分卫。 预测：豹队 24, 猎鹰队 21

维京人队 (1-0) 客场对阵 熊队 (1-0)

费城上周有时显得有些生疏，不过进攻线表现良好，鹰队最终赢得了比赛。田纳西是联盟中表现最差的三支球队之一，因此这场比赛不会太胶着。预测：鹰队 34, 钛坦队 20

钢队 (1-0) 客场对阵 爱国者队 (0-1)

预测：爱国者队 24, 钢队 18

包装机队 (0-1) 客场对阵 喷气机队 (1-0)

盘口：包装机队让 3 $^{1 / 2}$ , 总分预测 (O / U)：44 $^{1 / 2}$ . 这里要小心喷气机队。他们的进攻线非常稳固，并且在第一周的跑球表现出色。 诚然，那是对阵钛坦队的比赛。乔丹·洛夫 (Jordan Love) 比卡姆·沃德 (Cam Ward) 强得多。 预测：包装机队 24, 喷气机队 21

布朗队 (0-1) 客场对阵 海盗队 (0-1)

盘口：海盗队让 8½。总分预测 (O / U)：40½。 布朗队没有出色的四分卫选择，而坦帕湾的防守在向俄亥俄的另一支球队丢了 33 分后应该会反弹。贝克·梅菲尔德 (Baker Mayfield) 对球的保护会比揭幕战时更好。 预测：海盗队 31, 布朗队 17

圣徒队 (0-1) 客场对阵 乌鸦队 (1-0)

盘口：乌鸦队让 $8^{1 / 2}$ . 总分预测 (O / U)：$47^{1 / 2}$ . 巴尔的摩的阵容与上赛季基本保持一致，并且在以全新的活力作战。新奥尔良在泰勒·肖 (Tyler Shough) 的带领下能够推进球，但失误和漏洞百出的防守能支撑的程度有限。预测：乌鸦队 27, 圣徒队 21

孟加拉虎队 (1-0) 客场对阵 德州人队 (0-1)

盘口：德州人队让 3. 总分预测 (O / U)：46½。 很难想象休斯顿及其顶尖的防守会以 0-2 开局。乔·伯로우 (Joe Burrow) 是一名出色的传球手，辛辛那提的防守看起来有所提升。尽管如此，休斯顿刚刚与强大的比尔队打得势均力敌。 预测：德州人队 28, 孟加拉虎队 23

美洲豹队 (1-0) 客场对阵 猛马队 (0-1)

周日，下午 1:05 p.m. 电视转播：NFL Ticket。 盘口：猛马队让 2½。总分预测 (O / U)：44½。 很难衡量杰克逊维尔上周 34-10 的胜利，因为美洲豹队是对阵布朗队。但美洲豹队现在看起来已经很稳健了。 预测：猛马队 24, 美洲豹队 21

突袭者队 (1-0) 客场对阵 闪电队 (0-1)

周日，下午 1:05 p.m. 电视转播：CBS。 盘口：闪电队让 7. 总分预测 (O / U)：43½。 闪电队上周没有表现出特别出色的地方，而突袭者队以两个达阵之差击败了迈阿密。由于是分区赛，预计这场比赛会很胶着。 预测：闪电队 27, 突袭者队 23

指挥官队 (0-1) 客场对阵 牛仔队 (0-1)

周日，下午 1:25 p.m. 电视转播：NFL Ticket。 盘口：牛仔队让 3½。总分预测 (O / U)：50½。 本赛季 NFC 东区看起来会异常激烈。这两支球队实力相当，但凭借其接球手，牛仔队略占优势。 预测：牛仔队 27, 指挥官队 23

西雅图海鹰 (1-0) 对阵 亚利桑那红雀 (1-0)

周日，1:25 p.m. TV: NFL Ticket。 盘口：海鹰 4½。O / U: 4½。 对于卫冕超级碗冠军来说，这是一场令人不安的比赛，因为他们的首发四分卫缺阵，而红雀队实力强劲。 预测：海鹰 24, 红雀 20

迈阿密海豚 (0-1) 对阵 旧金山49人 (1-0)

周日，1:25 p.m. TV: Fox。 盘口：49人 13½。O / U: 45½。 旧金山队在赛季初的表现惊人。 在去年球队出现大量伤员之后，乔治·基特尔、弗雷德·沃纳和尼克·波萨等关键领袖目前身体健康且动力十足。 预测：49人 38, 海豚 13

印第安纳波利斯小马 (0-1) 对阵 堪萨斯城酋长 (1-0)

周日，5:20 p.m. TV: NBC。 盘口：酋长 6½。O / U: 47½。 堪萨斯城的地面进攻在第一周表现危险，减轻了前十字韧带撕裂后正在康复的帕特里克·马霍姆斯压力。小马队在遭遇巴尔的摩队的猛烈冲击后，表现应该会有所提升。 预测：酋长 27, 小马 21

纽约巨人 (1-0) 对阵 洛杉矶公羊 (0-1)

周一，5:15 p.m. TV: ABC, ESPN。 盘口：公羊 7½。O / U: 48½。 在澳大利亚经历了一场尴尬的揭幕战后，公羊队预计将进入专注状态并充满怒火。虽然没有迈尔斯·加雷特，但亚伦·唐纳德应该会回归到已经足够强大的防线中。 预测：公羊 27, 巨人 24

进攻乏力亟待改进

一次达阵。

49人队的胜利。

[公羊队，接 B10]

但这不能成为公羊队在对阵49人队时进攻表现糟糕的借口。

公羊队的第一次进攻就成了预兆：49人队线卫弗雷德·沃纳（Fred Warner）险些拦截了斯塔福德（Stafford）的传球。

职业生涯进入第18年的斯塔福德始终未能找到节奏。他在25次传球中仅完成15次，传球码数155码。49人队将第二节的一次拦截转化为一次达阵进攻。

这并不意味着38岁的斯塔福德的能力似乎在断崖式下跌。

这只是一场比赛。他状态不佳。

一名正在改写NFL纪录册的球员，更有可能在下一场比赛中大胜巨人队，而不是连续两次表现糟糕。

“有很多需要清理的地方，”斯塔福德说。“有很多需要审视的事情。我们会确保准备好全力出击。”

当跑卫凯伦·威廉姆斯（Kyren Williams）和布莱克·科鲁姆（Blake Corum）能够大段推进码数，且麦克维（McVay）设计的战术能为接球手普卡·纳库亚（Puka Nacua）和达万特·亚当斯（Davante Adams）创造空间，让他们能完成常规甚至惊人的接球时，进攻效果最好。

科鲁姆冲球54码，为全队最高；威廉姆斯冲球41码并获得一次达阵。

当公羊队在1码线面临关键的第四次进攻尝试达阵时，两人都没有获得机会。纳库亚也没有，而他在前一次进攻的接球中险些得分。

亚当斯同样没有机会，他上赛季以14次接球达阵领跑NFL，其中11次是在10码或更近的距离，包括4次在1码线。

相反，麦克维选择了四分卫潜行（quarterback sneak）。

49人队在达阵线前拦截了斯塔福德，随后49人队推进了99码，取得了

上赛季NFL接球次数领先者纳库亚与亚当斯合计接球8次，共100码，远低于他们的典型表现。

而且不要忘记紧端锋。

显然，麦克维确实忘记了。

在2025赛季中期，公羊队开始经常一次性部署多达三名紧端锋，并将他们作为接球目标。科尔比·帕金森（Colby Parkinson）成为了斯塔福德的主要目标之一，并取得了8次达阵，是其此前职业生涯最佳成绩的四倍。

公羊队在本赛季开始时，职业生涯第二年的特伦斯·弗格森（Terrance Ferguson）有望迎来突破。

帕金森和戴维斯·艾伦（Davis Allen）各接球一次，弗格森一次未接。老将泰勒·希格比（Tyler Higbee）接球两次，但一次掉球，这几乎锁定了胜-

在两场比赛之间有11天的间隔，麦克维、他的教练组以及球员们决心避免再次出现类似表现。

“重点改进的领域将是传球进攻以及我们共同可以尝试的一些不同方案，”麦克维说。“这一切总是从我开始。”

被49人队击败是麦克维在10个赛季中第三次输掉赛季揭幕战。

在麦克维执教期间，公羊队仅有一次以两连败开局：2024年，在底特律加时赛失利后，亚利桑那红雀队以41-10大胜他们。

那支球队在1胜4负的开局后反弹，进入了NFC分区赛。

但这对于这支旨在SoFi体育场赢得第LXI届超级碗的公羊队来说还不够。

而现在的进攻端需要重启。

小马队艾伦将面临指控

美联社

法院记录显示，印第安纳波利斯小马队的接球手基南·艾伦（Keenan Allen）将因涉嫌酒驾事件面临两项轻罪指控。

这位前电击队球员及六次入选职业碗的球员于周二被正式指控：驾驶车辆时酒精浓度相当于0.15或更高，以及醉酒驾驶。

他缴纳了500美元现金保释金，其律师放弃了原定于周三举行的初次听证会。律师会议定于10月26日举行。

小马队教练谢恩·斯泰肯（Shane Steichen）在周三训练前拒绝就这一最新进展发表评论，艾伦预计将参加此次训练。艾伦尚未就此事公开表态。

喷气机队菲茨帕特里克与库珀缺阵

纽约喷气机队（New York Jets）的安全卫明卡·菲茨帕特里克（Minkah Fitzpatrick）和新秀宽接手奥马尔·库珀（Omar Cooper Jr.）周三因伤未参加训练，教练亚伦·格伦（Aaron Glenn）表示他们的状态为“周周观察”。

菲茨帕特里克在上周日喷气机队以 23-10 战胜田纳西队的赛季揭幕战早期腹股沟受伤。作为首轮选秀球员，库珀在纽约队的首次达阵推进中完成一次 30 码的接球推进后，也因脚踝受伤离场。

当被问及菲茨帕特里克和库珀是否会被列入伤员预备名单（这将导致他们至少缺阵四周）时，格伦表示：“目前还没有。”

Kyler Murray 的状态已足以有限度地参加明尼苏达维京队的训练，这使得他有可能通过 NFL 的脑震荡协议并在周日出场。无论 Murray 能否在芝加哥首发，还是由 Carson Wentz 继续执掌进攻，这位四分卫都将失去他的头号冲球手：Jordan Mason 因拇指骨折被列入伤病预备名单，但带有回归指定。... 亚特兰大猎鹰队教练 Kevin Stefanski 重申，他尚未准备好宣布周日在主场对阵卡罗来纳的揭幕战中由谁担任首发四分卫，Cooper Rush 临时接管该职位的一周期限正面临危机。Michael Penix Jr. 可能即将夺回首发位置，尤其是由于 Tua Tagovailoa 在周四因斜肌受伤离开训练后，周三被要求休息。Penix 在季前赛中没有出场，因为他仍在从左膝韧带撕裂中恢复，该伤势导致他的 2025 赛季提前结束。... Steichen 周三宣布，线卫 Akeem Davis-Gaither 将在周日晚上堪萨斯城的比赛中佩戴带有“绿点”的无线电头盔。... Dylan Sampson（左膝）周二被克利夫兰布朗队列入伤病预备名单（IR）。

这位右投手强势投球六局，随后外野手通过一支全垒打打破平局，击败西雅图队。

周二晚上在天使球场，瑞安·约翰逊强势投球六局，乔什·洛韦击出打破平局的全垒打，天使队以 2-1 击败西雅图水手队。

沃恩·格里森击出一支打入分数的二垒安打，约翰逊 (5-8) 仅失一分，被击出六支安打，获得七次三振且没有保送。这是他职业生涯中首次在连续两场先发比赛中获胜。

胡利奥·罗德里格斯为水手队击出一支打入分数的二垒安打，而洛根·吉尔伯特在六局中失两分，被击出六支安打。吉尔伯特 (12-10) 在此次出场中获得七次三振，这是他自 2018 年以来成为首位在连续先发比赛中获得两位数三振的西雅图投手后的首次出场。

水手队 (70-82) 遭遇三连败，确定了自 2019 年以来在完整赛季中首次出现负胜率。他们在疫情导致赛季缩短的 2020 年也曾出现负胜率。

在第五局的投手对决中，天使队终于取得了突破。韦德·梅克勒在两出局后击出单打，随后格里森击出向左外野的二垒安打，梅克勒得分。

水手队立即做出回应。多米尼克·坎佐内以一支向左外野的三垒安打开启第六局对阵约翰逊的进攻，随后罗德里格斯在一次出局后击出向左中外野的二垒安打，坎佐内得分。

在下半局，洛韦在一次出局后击出向右中外野的全垒打，这是他在 2026 年的第 12 支全垒打，天使队重新夺回领先地位。

泰勒·索塞多接替约翰逊，在第七局未失分；而何塞·费尔明在第八局也没有失分，尽管他被坎佐内的回击球击中了脚，但该球最终被判定为地滚球出局。

瑞安·沃森投完第九局，获得了他的第三次救援成功，也是他在天使队的第二次救援成功。

在上一赛季距离首次进入世界大赛仅差一场胜利之后，西雅图队现在正接近被淘汰出季后赛竞争行列。

道奇队正蓄势待发

[道奇队，接B10页]

道奇队击球教练亚伦·贝茨（Aaron Bates）表示，这能延缓其前髋关节的打开。但球队的击球组认为，回归熟悉的准备姿势可能是一个长期的解决方案。

“我们进行了一次很棒的会议，”贝茨说。“我们共同讨论了这个问题，随后他觉得尝试起来很舒服，剩下的就得归功于他自己了。他一直就是那个他。”

过去，埃尔南德斯在跨步时使用一种“扭转点地”（twister tap）动作。他起初采取较为开放的站姿，脚尖点在与投手一致的线上，然后才落脚。但过去两年的下肢伤病——上赛季的左腹股沟拉伤和本赛季早些时候的左腿后侧肌群拉伤——迫使他放弃了这一动作。

健康状况的改善和髋关节灵活性的提高，为他回归这种时机掌控机制打开了道路。

“当特奥（Teo）的髋关节那样放松，且他的前腿看起来像‘埃尔维斯之膝’时，对我们来说是个好迹象，”贝茨说。“因为这意味着他可以在上半身不随之移动的情况下完成打开和关闭动作。”

是否会是一个好球或坏球。”

正如埃尔南德斯所解释的，扭转点地的优势在于其可重复性。而更传统的跨步可能会被加速或减速。

“只要能够控制我的身体并处于良好的位置，”埃尔南德斯本月早些时候表示。“我可以稍微早一点看到球，并识别出这是什么样的球，以及它是否

通过这一改变，他让道奇队决定放弃在左外野采用轮换制（platooning）的决定得到了回报。截至周二，埃尔南德斯面对右投手时的 OPS 为 .777——虽然样本量仅为 28 次打席，但仍是一个显著的提升。

“最关键的是他对外角球的覆盖能力，”贝茨说。“因为现在他能够破坏对方的投球，从而在打席中坚持更长时间。”

埃尔南德斯在进攻端的戏剧性反弹，以及同为角外野手的凯尔·塔克（Kyle Tucker）的进步，帮助稳定了道奇队的进攻线。目前球队缺少大谷翔平（因右二头肌和左膝伤势处于伤病名单中），且弗雷迪·弗里曼（Freddie Freeman）也因右膝酸痛而行动不便。

新秀何塞·德保拉（Josue De Paula）主要在指定击球手位置上顶替大谷，他已经证明自己能够进行成熟的打席并提供一定的爆发力。但他仍在适应这个新联盟。

对于在今年开局缓慢的埃尔南德斯来说，重新成为一名资深力量威胁，延长了道奇队的打击线——理想情况下，这恰好能将势头带入季后赛。

周一，他击中了左投手尼克·洛多洛（Nick Lodolo）的一记两分炮。周二，他面对右投手雷特·劳德（Rhett Lowder）再次复制了这一壮举。

在这次打席的第二球，埃尔南德斯识别出一个吊在好球区的滑球，根据 Statcast 的数据，他以 109.3 英里 / 小时的时速将其击飞至左外野围栏之外。这次轰击使道奇队在第三局以 3-0 领先，而道奇队先发投手山本在另一端也进入了状态。

山本在面对的前两名打者时都投出了保送，但他随后控制住了球路，投了七局无失分，仅允许一名打者上垒——即红队明星游击手埃利·德拉·克鲁兹（Elly De La Cruz）击出的一记二垒安打。

道奇队还凭借亨特·费杜恰（Hunter Feduccia）在第二局的单打和亚历克斯·弗里兰（Alex Freeland）在第七局的本垒打得分。随后，道奇队的牛棚完成了这场完封赛。

弗里曼留在首发阵容中

弗里曼在周二的比赛中击出三支安打，在经历了此前四场比赛毫无建树后，他全程笑容满面。

“我原本明天应该休息的，但我凭表现把自己‘打’进了名单，”他说，“所以我非常兴奋。”

罗伯茨解释道：“他在开玩笑，说：‘如果我能击出三支安打，明天能让我上场吗？’”

事实证明，他在击球笼中进行的机械性调整——专注于尽早落脚并在前方完成接触——让他实现了目标。

“我只是在尝试寻找能给我带来结果的方法，”弗里曼说，“我们现在处于一个需要在这五周内进入状态的阶段。所以就像我几年前在世界大赛中做的那样，我采用了‘向外跨步’的动作。这在六个月的时间里是无法持续的。

我并不是在寻找某种可持续的方法。”

尽管罗伯茨一直试图寻找机会让弗里曼休息，但他在周二看到了除结果之外的积极迹象。

“仅凭我的眼睛，通过观察他的动作，我觉得他明天上场没问题，”罗伯茨说。

罗伯茨表示，德保拉、弗里兰以及三垒手马克斯·蒙西周三将不在首发阵容中。

斯内尔周三早早退场

道奇队左投手布莱克·斯内尔（Blake Snell）在周三对阵红队的比赛中，在投完第一局后退场，球队将其伤情确定为左腹股沟紧绷。

斯内尔被击出一支安打（由萨尔·斯图尔特击出），但他迅速通过一次成功的牵制将斯图尔特陷入追逐战，从而化解危机并结束该局。

斯内尔共投了 19 球。布莱克·特雷宁（Blake Treinen）在第二局接替了他。

周三是斯内尔本赛季的第 8 次先发。由于肩部疲劳，他的 2026 赛季首秀被推迟。在一次先发后，他再次进入伤病名单，接受关节镜手术以清除左肘的游离体。

自回归以来，他在单场先发中被得分从未超过 1 分。截至周三的短暂出场，斯内尔的 ERA 为 1.86。

斯内尔有左腹股沟和内收肌拉伤的历史。他在 2021、2022 和 2024 年曾因这类伤势在伤病名单中度过一段时间。

鸭队与头号得分手高蒂尔签署六年，$81-million 合同

Kyusung Gong Associated Press 卡特·高蒂尔（CUTTER GAUTHIER）的新六年合同在鸭队的工资帽中每赛季将计入 $13.500 万。

电讯报道

鸭队在周二晚上与前锋卡特·高蒂尔签署了一份为期六年、$81-million 的合同，在球员报到参加训练营的前夕完成了交易。

22, 岁的高蒂尔是距离赛季开始还剩两周时，最受关注的尚未签约的受限自由球员。到 2031-32 赛季为止，他将占用 $13.500 万 的工资帽。

“我们很高兴能与卡特签署一份长期合同，让他能准时参加训练营，”总经理帕特·弗比克（Pat Verbeek）在宣布合同的声明中表示。“他是我们年轻核心的重要组成部分：一名纯粹的进球天才，将继续成长为一名顶尖的 NHL 球员。”

高蒂尔上赛季以 41 个进球和 76 个积分领跑鸭队，同时也是球队在季后赛中的最高得分者，贡献了 4 个进球和 8 次助攻，这是 22 岁或更年轻的鸭队球员在单次季后赛中取得的第四高积分 (12)。

“对于我和我的家人来说，这是一个非常令人兴奋的日子，”高蒂尔在球队的声明中说道。“我很高兴能够与鸭队签署长期合同，并成为我认为的伟大未来的组成部分。”

芝加哥黑鹰队表示，后卫伊森·德尔·马斯特罗（Ethan Del Mastro）同意了一份为期两年、$1.9-million 的合同……据临时总经理肖恩·霍科夫（Shawn Horcoff）称，由于上半身受伤，迪伦·拉金（Dylan Larkin）在周四训练营开始时将不会随底特律红翼队训练，霍科夫表示拉金是在本周早些时候的场外训练中受伤的……纽约岛人队在训练营开始前夕表示，前锋马修·巴扎尔（Mathew Barzal）在旧伤加重后，预计在接下来的两周内不会参加训练……布法罗军刀队的资深前锋杰森·祖克（Jason Zucker）在接受手术修复运动疝气后，预计将缺席赛季初的比赛……新泽西魔鬼队聘请了杰西卡·坎贝尔（Jessica Campbell）担任冰球发展经理，聘请布莱恩·麦凯布（Bryan McCabe）担任新秀人事副总裁兼 AHL 尤蒂卡彗星队的助理总经理。……自由球员执法者瑞安·里夫斯（Ryan Reaves）表示，在 NHL 效力十余年后，他将在 39 岁时从冰球运动中退役，这使得不佩戴面罩的球员仅剩三人。纳什维尔的瑞安·奥赖利（Ryan O'Reilly）、达拉斯的杰米·本（Jamie Benn）和明尼苏达的扎克·博戈西安（Zach Bogosian）是最后剩下的不佩戴面罩的球员。NHL 和 NHL 球员协会在 2013 年达成协议，强制要求新球员佩戴面罩，而对老球员则采取豁免制度。

NFL 第2周 :: 洛杉矶公羊队 对阵 纽约巨人队 地点：SoFi体育场，周一，下午5:15 / 电视转播：ABC, ESPN

普卡·纳库亚 (12) 上赛季在NFL接球数领先，但在公羊队输给49ers的比赛中仅有5次接球，推进74码。

“有很多……需要清理”

公羊队不稳定的防守成为头条，但进攻端同样有许多问题需要解决

作者：加里·克莱恩

不要被分散注意力。

在公羊队于澳大利亚遭遇令人尴尬的赛季揭幕战失利后，球队的防守端主导了新闻周期：边缘冲截手迈尔斯·加雷特的膝盖手术，以及防守线球员亚伦·唐纳德潜在的赛季首秀。

但当主教练肖恩·麦克维为周一晚上对阵纽约巨人队的比赛做准备时，作为超级碗热门的公羊队，其突然变得不再那么“超级”的进攻端同样需要审视。

考虑到：该进攻组的所有首发球员均已回归，这支队伍在2025年曾领跑NFL的进攻和得分，其中包括现任NFL最有价值球员（MVP）四分卫马修·斯塔福德。

马修·斯塔福德在第三节末段一次失败的四分卫潜入似乎让进攻端失去了气势。

然而，在27-7输给旧金山49ers的比赛中，公羊队仅取得了190码的推进并得分一个达阵。

仅此而已。

这是自2023年11月20-3输给格林贝包装工队以来，公羊队得分最低的一场比赛。

公羊队决定在比赛前一天才抵达墨尔本，这似乎让他们陷入了昏沉状态。

诚然，49ers的防守协调员拉希姆·莫里斯非常了解麦克维和公羊队。莫里斯在2021-2023年期间担任公羊队的防守协调员，并且是麦克维最亲密的朋友之一。去年12月，作为亚特兰大猎鹰队的主教练，他通过战术部署带领球队以27-24战胜了公羊队。

重回状态，助球队获胜

凭借状态回升，特奥斯卡·赫尔南德斯击出本垒打，带领道奇队战胜红人队。

作者：MADDIE LEE

辛辛那提 —— 一个简单的改变让道奇队左外野手特奥斯卡·赫尔南德斯（Teoscar Hernández）在进攻端实现了戏剧性的反弹。

在周二道奇队 4-0 击败红人队的比赛中，赫尔南德斯击出了一支两分本垒打，这是他连续两个夜晚击出的第二个本垒打。在山本由伸（Yoshinobu Yamamoto）七局仅被击出一支安打的强势表现下，球队夺得分區冠军的神奇数字（magic number）已减至 1。而且，至关重要的一点是，这次本垒打是面对一名右投手击出的。

“这非常有帮助，”经理戴夫·罗伯茨（Dave Roberts）在赛后表示。“当某些球员对球的观察不够理想时，能有像特奥（Teo）这样挥棒出击的球员来填补空缺是很不错的。当你能像他那样击出长打时，你就能赢得棒球比赛，他可以在一段时间内支撑起球队。在过去的 10 天里，他的表现确实非常好。”

截至 8 月底，赫尔南德斯本赛季面对右投的 OPS 仅为 .668。因此，当罗伯茨在底特律被问及道奇队是否会考虑在 9 月征召球员后，在左外野设置轮换阵容（platoon）时，他表示会考虑。

在系列赛的最后一天，赫尔南德斯面对老虎队左投手弗兰伯·瓦尔德斯（Framber Valdez）击出了本垒打。在道奇队于道奇体育场开启与红雀队的三场系列赛之前，赫尔南德斯与击球教练进行了会面。

UCLA 主场足球与篮球赛对学生免费

为了填满玫瑰碗球场和保利场馆，布鲁因队将为学生提供免费门票。

作者：Connor Dullinger

加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）体育部门周三宣布，为了让玫瑰碗球场（Rose Bowl）和保利场馆（Pauley Pavilion）座无虚席，今后所有 主场足球赛以及男女篮球赛的门票将对本科生、研究生和扩展课程学生免费。

此前，布鲁因队的学生必须购买价值 $199 的 Den Pass 才能进入主场足球赛和男子篮球赛。已经购买了 2026-2027 学年 Den Pass 的学生将获得退款。

“在（主教练）鲍勃·切斯尼（Bob Chesney）的带领下，我们拥有一支令人兴奋的球队， 体育事业也拥有强大的势头，”新任 首席执行官兼体育总监蒂姆·哈里斯（Tim Harris）在新闻稿中表示。“现在轮到我们的学生来帮助树立标准了。早点到达，大声呐喊，永不言弃。我们迫不及待地想在周六的玫瑰碗球场看到一片布鲁因蓝的海洋。”

免费学生票是哈里斯为了给学校标志性体育项目注入新活力而采取的诸多变革之一，这些项目在前任体育总监马丁·贾蒙德（Martin Jarmond）任内曾陷入困境。

虽然 体育部门自 2020 财年以来已累计亏损 $222.27-million —— 这也是贾蒙德被解雇的主要原因 ——

斯内尔因伤在道奇队失利比赛中离场

手术以清除其左肘的游离体。

继续投球的话，我肯定会把它拉伤。”

作者：MADDIE LEE 很有机会实现这一点并保持健康。”

道奇队未来几周的投球计划处于变动之中。

麻烦始于道奇队左投手布莱克·斯内尔（Blake Snell）在比赛前于大美国球场（Great American Ball Park）的牛棚进行投球练习时。

“我一整天感觉都很好，但在牛棚投球的倒数第二球，我投了一个滑球，然后感觉到那里紧绷了，”斯内尔在谈到导致他早早退出道奇队 6-2 输给红队比赛的腹股沟紧绷感时说道。“所以我想，‘好吧，看看我们能怎么处理。’”

由于斯内尔在引导球时没有用力蹬后腿，他在投球 19 球的第一局中，球速下降了一到两个档次。他被击出一支安打，是萨尔·斯图尔特（Sal Stewart）的一支单打，但他很快通过一次成功的牵制将其化解，使斯图尔特在一次结束该局的追逐战中出局。

“我本想尝试投满五[局]，”他说，“但我知道我确实没有[能力]”

在与经理戴夫·罗伯茨（Dave Roberts）、投球教练马克·普赖尔（Mark Prior）以及首席运动训练师托马斯·阿尔伯特（Thomas Albert）的交谈中，他们一致认为最好的处理方案是将斯内尔从比赛中撤下。右投手布莱克·特赖宁（Blake Treinen）在第二局接替了他。

由于本赛季仅剩 10 场比赛，目前尚不清楚斯内尔何时能准备好再次投球。

“接下来的几天将起到决定性作用，”斯内尔说。“但我很希望在我的下一次[预定先发日]投球。要么在那天，要么在那之后的几天。但肯定地，我想尝试在常规赛中再投一场。”

道奇队的这场失利标志着斯内尔本赛季的第八次先发。他的 2026 年首秀因肩部疲劳而推迟。随后在一次先发之后，他再次进入伤病名单，接受关节镜下

自回归以来，他在先发比赛中单场失分从未超过一分。截至周三，斯内尔的 ERA 为 1.86。他是道奇队预计季后赛轮换阵容的关键成员。

“我认为现在没有人能断言未来一周到 10 天内会发生什么，”罗伯茨说道，并指出球队将在回到洛杉矶后决定是否送他去进行影像检查。

斯内尔有左腹股沟和内收肌拉伤的历史。他在 2021、2022 和 2024 年曾因这类伤势在伤病名单（IL）中度过一段时间。他说这次受伤的感觉远没有之前的任何一次那么严重。

“[过去]我感觉像那样，然后我在其中两次受伤的情况下坚持投球，结果导致两次拉伤，”他说。“一次是一级拉伤，一次是二级拉伤。所以我绝对很高兴我停止了。……我很清楚如果我”

在斯内尔离场后，道奇队使用了六名救援投手来完成七局比赛。他们合计丢了 6 分并被击出 12 支安打，其中包括两支本垒打。

左投手克里斯·布比克（Kris Bubic）在第八局完成了他的道奇队首秀。这是他自 5 月中旬以来首次在美职棒大联盟亮相，他在一个零失分局中允许了一次内野安打并记录了两次三振。

道奇队错过了一个通过获胜来锁定分区的机会。而教士队在周三击败了落基山队，使分区的竞争在数学概率上依然维持。

因此，当贾斯汀·罗布莱斯基（Justin Wrobleski）登板时，道奇队将在周三再次获得庆祝香槟雨的机会。罗伯茨表示，道奇队在右投手鲍比·米勒（Bobby Miller）周三投球 2 $^{1 / 3}$ 局后将其下放到小联盟，并计划召回右投手兰登·纳克（Landon Knack）。

尽管右投手山本由伸（Yoshinobu Yamamoto）和左投手塔里克·斯库巴尔（Tarik Skubal）在冲刺阶段正处于最佳状态，但斯内尔的受伤是最新的一次减员。

右投手佐佐木朗希（Roki Sasaki，右手中指水泡）已在伤病名单中待了近三周。他周三进行了一次四局、48 球的实战打击练习，其手指敏感区域贴有 Dermabond 医用胶。

道奇队原计划讨论他在伤病名单（IL）回归后如何部署，但在比赛结束后，罗伯茨表示为了“确保球员有充足的休息”，他的下一次出场将是以先发身份登场。

右投手泰勒·格拉斯诺在最近两次先发中陷入低谷，但他表示，此前让他缺阵三个半月的背部“感觉良好”。

吉久、天使队负于水手队，后者仍留在美联季后赛竞争中

美联社

在周三晚上天使球场的一场比赛中，卡尔·罗利（Cal Raleigh）贡献了两次安打和三分打点，乔什·内勒（Josh Naylor）贡献了两次安打和两分打点，西雅图水手队以 7-2 击败天使队，维持了微弱的季后赛希望。

兰迪·阿罗扎雷纳（Randy Arozarena）也为西雅图队贡献了一次保送、一次单打并得到三分。在赛季还剩九场比赛的情况下，西雅图队在美联西区落后德克萨斯队和休斯顿队 $5^{1 / 2}$ 场，在美联第三个外卡席位争夺中落后芝加哥白袜队 $6^{1 / 2}$ 场。

在第五局一出局时，天使队先发投手吉久祐誓（Yusei Kikuchi，1胜6负）保送了阿罗扎雷纳和多米尼克·坎佐内（Dominic Canzone），此时比分为 2-2。罗利击出了一记向左外野的打点二垒安打，将比分改为 3-2，随后胡里奥·罗德里格斯（Julio Rodriguez）被故意保送以填满垒包。

天使队一垒手沃恩·格里森（Vaughn Grissom）通过滑行反手接住了内勒可能导致双杀的滚地球，但他的传球在飞向二垒时飞入了左外野导致失误，该回合让西雅图队得到两分，比分变为 5-2。

在第六局，坎佐内和罗利的单打让西雅图队将领先优势扩大到 7-2。

水手队救援投手卡洛斯·瓦尔加斯（Carlos Vargas，1胜0负）在第五局下半垒包满的情况下，分别用三个球三振了乔什·洛（Josh Lowe）和克里斯蒂安·摩尔（Christian Moore），从而结束了该局。

在第一局中，吉久投了 37 球，该局水手队通过罗利的牺牲飞球和内勒的打点单打得到了两分，共击出三次安打。

天使队先发投手吉久祐誓在周三晚上 2-7 负于西雅图水手队的比赛中表现不佳，在 $4 \frac{1}{3}$ 局中被击出五次安打，送出五次保送，丢掉五分（其中四分为自责分）。 卡罗琳·布雷曼（CAROLINE BREHMAN），美联社

多蒂被任命为国王队新任队长

德鲁·多蒂（Drew Doughty）被任命为国王队的队长，接替了因安泽·科皮塔（Anze Kopitar）退役而空缺的领导职位。

36岁的多蒂是球队历史上第15任队长。自2016-17赛季科皮塔接替达斯汀·布朗（Dustin Brown）担任队长以来，多蒂一直担任副队长。

多蒂在进球数、助攻数、得分和出场次数等多个类别中均位列球队后卫之首，并且是球队在2012年和2014年赢得斯坦利杯的关键成员。当国王队在周四开启训练营时，他将开始准备他的第19个NHL赛季。

“被任命为一支NHL球队的队长是我深感荣幸的事情，我也为此感到非常自豪，”多蒂在球队发布的一份声明中表示。

在决定提升多蒂的职位之前，总经理肯·霍兰德（Ken Holland）在不到四个月前曾表示，国王队在这个休赛期不会讨论续约问题。

多蒂即将进入他在2018年6月签署的八年合同的最后一个赛季，但霍兰德表示，他希望多蒂能在该组织结束其职业生涯。

“他赢得了在相关事务中拥有很大发言权的权利，所以我会与德鲁合作，”霍兰德在6月26日表示。“他不用担心续约，我也不用担心续约，在讨论'26-27赛季之后如何发展之前，让我们先获取更多关于现状的信息。”

前锋艾德里安·肯佩（Adrian Kempe）和后卫迈基·安德森（Mikey Anderson）将继续担任副队长，而前锋阿尔特米·帕纳林（Artemi Panarin）在2月通过交易从纽约游骑兵队加盟后，在其效力国王队的第一个完整赛季中被授予“A”（副队长标志），以完善其领导团队。

在BMO体育场举行的比赛中，艾莉·森特诺（Ally Sentnor）、阿里·博尔赫斯（Ary Borges）和泰勒·苏亚雷斯（Taylor Suarez）在天使之城队3-1战胜西雅图统治队的比赛中分别进球。

天使之城队（10-8-6）在过去四场比赛中保持不败，目前距离NWSL季后赛最后一个名额仅落后统治队1分。这场失利终结了西雅图队（11-9-4）三连胜的势头。

在第18分钟，天使之城队中场迈阿拉·尼胡（Maiara Niehue）的一次抽射造成西雅图统治队中场安加拉德·詹姆斯-特纳（Angharad James-Turner）手球。森特诺连续两周成功主罚点球，率先破门。

在第40分钟，后卫埃弗林·肖尔斯（Evelyn Shores）的一次角球传中，无人盯防的博尔赫斯头球破门，将领先优势扩大到两球。

在替补登场后30秒内，苏亚雷斯在第81分钟连续突破多名防守队员，将球射入侧网，比分变为3-0。

埃弗琳娜·费尔南德斯的《安提戈涅：在国王的语言中》在盖蒂别墅的露天剧场上演，其舞台呈现令人沉醉，该剧由拉丁裔剧团（Latino Theater Company）联合制作。

这部改编作品将索福克勒斯的悲剧重新设定在阿兹特克文化中，在视觉和音乐上都赋予了作品新的活力。尽管剧情被简化，但它依然是一场扣人心弦的视觉盛宴。

马戏团来到城中

百老汇巡演剧目《象之水》将高空特技带到潘塔吉斯剧院：杂技演员、木偶悉数登场

作者：JENELLE RILEY

离家出走加入马戏团永远不嫌晚。

这是获得托尼奖提名的音乐剧《象之水》（Water for Elephants）的一个主要主题。在好莱坞潘塔吉斯剧院（Hollywood Pantages Theatre）开演前的一小时，舞台上就有了活生生的证明。

这部关于巡回马戏团的演出拥有一支杂技演员与演员数量相当的团体，所有人必须在表演前进行热身。这种每晚的例行活动本身就是一场表演：杂技演员们在拉伸、翻滚，并将彼此抛向空中。另一名团体成员在附近玩着杂耍，而有人则以极不自然的速度在巨大的圆环中旋转。

今晚还有一个特别惊喜：剧团正在试用一件名为“中国杆”的新设备，这是一个近20英尺高的圆柱体，表演者在上面攀爬、下滑，并挑战重力法则。这根杆子目前还不能正式使用——它的表面纹理可能过于光滑或不均匀，因此剧团必须花几周时间对其进行处理，以获得更好的抓握力和摩擦力。

表演者们已经习惯了此类奇观，他们在数千名观众即将为同样的技巧惊叹鼓掌的一小时前，以一种近乎滑稽的淡然态度进行工作。更不用说另一组表演者所呈现的精美木偶作品，随着剧情展开，一系列细节精致的马戏动物相继亮相。

“听到观众对这部剧的反应真的很有趣，”团体演员兼杂技演员、同时担任马戏团队长的塞拉菲娜·沃克（Serafina Walker）说道，“有很多令人惊喜的时刻——你绝对能听到观众的反应，而这正是我们在舞台上作为表演者的动力。”

沃克在 3, 岁时开始参加竞技体操，13岁时开始在一家名为 Circus Smirkus 的总部位于佛蒙特州的巡回青少年马戏团工作。她一年前毕业于蒙特利尔的国家马戏学校（École Nationale de Cirque），目前正在参加她的首次音乐剧巡演。她是几名扮演统称为“Kinker & Roust”角色的表演者之一，这些词是杂技演员 / 空中表演者和“roustabouts”（即马戏团劳工）的俚语。对于一个很快就要让她在圆环中旋转、被抛向高空，还要与团体一起唱歌、跳舞和演戏的角色来说，这个头衔简单得具有欺骗性。

沃克是众多必须将专业技能与传统表演相结合，以组成一个完美剧团的表演者之一。[见《象之水》，E6]

多伦多国际电影节

在 10 天的时间里，电影宇宙的中心是多伦多国际电影节，而其最近的地理地标目前正处于一场荒诞的争议之中。

“欢迎来到 TIFF，欢迎来到美丽的——跟我一起说——安大略湖之岸，”电影节首席执行官卡梅隆·贝利（Cameron Bailey）在开幕之夜介绍导演希安·赫德（Sian Heder）深受观众喜爱的作品《Being Heumann》时说道。

今年的活动中，好莱坞作品减少了，而具有表达欲的独立电影则增多了。

评论员 凯蒂·沃尔什（KATIE WALSH）

撼动中世纪动作惊悚片

保罗·格林格拉斯的标志性风格赋予了《起义》（The Uprising）一种不安且极具爆发力的生命力。

电影制作人保罗·格林格拉斯经常与一种口语中被称为“摇晃镜头”（shaky cam）的电影美学联系在一起——这种由轻量级数字摄像机实现的手持摄影，其功能非常像房间里的另一个角色，行走在地面上，处于视线高度，像人一样对动作和对话做出响应和反应。

这种风格在他执导的现代动作惊悚片（如“谍报特工”系列）以及描绘近期真实事件的电影（如《菲利普船长》和《失踪巴士》）中发挥了良好作用。现在，格林格拉斯将他的标志性风格应用于中世纪——摇晃镜头在一部中世纪电影中能奏效吗？

这看起来可能很奇怪，但考虑到虽然《起义》在技术上讲述的是1381年英格兰的农民起义，但那并不是它的真正核心，这其实是一个绝佳的创意选择。它讲述的是当下。

摇晃镜头的目的是将我们震醒，使我们意识到这一点。当我们跟随主角——一个生活在悲痛与凄惨之中的可怜耕夫（安德鲁·加菲尔德 饰）时，一场瘟疫已经抹去了半数人口。一小群人囤积财富和资源，而农民阶级则被课以重税，法律被残酷执行。格林格拉斯用一种更像新闻纪录片而非沉闷时代剧的电影风格陈述这一现状的赤裸事实，使其与我们当前处境的平行之处显露无遗。

《起义》由格林格拉斯编剧并执导，叙事方式相当简单，强调视觉叙事和直观感受（各种不同的英国口音在暴民的混战中也变得模糊不清）。我们只需要知道，在14岁的理查二世国王（伍迪·诺曼 饰）祈祷、其母亲（凯瑟琳·沃特斯顿 饰）怒视之时，向其提供建议的委员会正在密谋。在屋外，一群拿着农具、嗜血的暴民正向伦敦进军，其中一部分由加菲尔德饰演的耕夫领导，他在反抗税吏时发起了当地的起义。他与前士兵沃特·泰勒（科斯莫·贾维斯 饰）以及被视为异端的神职人员约翰·鲍尔（杰米·贝尔 饰）联手，人群要求觐见国王。

在《起义》中，安德鲁·加菲尔德饰演一名对村庄困境感到厌倦的贫穷耕夫。

随着混乱的展开，格林格拉斯并没有对这些事件的道德性发表长篇大论，事实上，在电影的大部分时间里，他对此保持了相当中立的立场。在《起义》的大部分内容中，革命没有对错之分。在电影所呈现的条件下，它仅仅是不可避免的。

导演保罗·格林格拉斯（左）与科斯莫·贾维斯。该片以真实的1381年农民起义为题材。

耕夫想要遵守规则，但起义的演变过程使他变得激进。格林格拉斯将起义展现为压迫下的逻辑结果，充满了混乱与迷茫；通过让主角见证背叛与欺骗，格林格拉斯最终得出了这样的信念：革命是必要的，即便以失败告终，而自由比任何东西都更有价值。

《起义》的开头和结尾在叙事上令人振奋且冷峻——中间部分则略显模糊和混乱。但支撑我们走下去的是演员的表演。加菲尔德。

《起义》（The Uprising）

分级：R级，因暴力 / 血腥画面 片长：2小时8分钟 上映情况：广泛发行

他（加菲尔德）的表演细腻且接地气，在事件陷入血腥屠杀时，他成为了我们的风向标。当他转身时，我们也随之转身，而加菲尔德在无言中传达的痛苦便是我们的指南针。

格林格拉斯为加菲尔德配备了一批表演风格更为张扬的演员，例如饰演粗鲁但精明的泰勒的贾维斯，以及饰演狂热的鲍尔的贝尔。托马辛·麦肯齐饰演一名年轻女性艾丽丝，她深陷于自身的创伤与丧亲之痛，并依附于那位耕种者；她表达那种睁大眼睛、几乎无法抑制的歇斯底里与恐惧的能力是无与伦比的。年轻的诺曼在饰演那位日益阴险的国王时令人心醉。

1381年的农民起义是一个迷人的时刻，因为在那个时代，民主的概念甚至还没有在封建仆人的脑海中闪现过。暴民的行为令人沮丧，因为他们在宗教上受制于国王（他们认为国王是上帝的使者），同时又极度渴望改变他们的日常生活。当这两种本能发生碰撞时，必然会产生复杂且矛盾的结果，而格林格拉斯以一种实地报道式的风格呈现了这一点。

电影结束时，这一切的模糊感得到了澄清，不仅是在英雄、反派和传达的信息方面，格林格拉斯还将这个故事置于一个可识别的电影和叙事历史之中。当所有元素汇聚在一起时，产生了一种快感。格林格拉斯可能在进行一次大胆的尝试（挥动镰刀），但他的刀刃最终还是击中了目标。

多伦多展示独立才华

《声音》（VOICES）是一部背景设定在1967年底特律的音乐惊悚片，由迪安特·格雷（Deanté Gray）执导。

[多伦多，接E1] 南部。通常情况下，多伦多国际电影节（TIFF）是奖项竞争者的发射台。但今年的好莱坞知名电影人比往年少——戛纳电影节也是如此。或许这些国际电影节正在试水，看看它们是否必须邀请美国人参加它们的派对。

相反，多伦多的片单中出现了几部关于法西主义的尖锐电影。从表面上看，米夏埃尔·R·罗斯卡姆（Michaël R. Roskam）的《伪报》（Le Faux Soir）是一部程序性记录，讲述了在被占领的比利时，一个反抗者网络如何在1943年停战纪念日25周年之际，出版了一期模仿亲纳粹报纸的讽刺刊物。剧本的大部分精力都花在讨论排版和轮转印刷机的分段版上，但在片尾字幕滚动前，《伪报》突然地揭示了其在当下用喜剧对抗福克斯新闻（Fox News）的时效性。叙述者隐喻性地提到讽刺报纸《洋葱》（The Onion），称为了完成这次行动，团队必须像洋葱的皮一样紧紧团结在一起：“永远不要忘记，洋葱就是力量。”

当地的喜剧片层出不穷，包括迈克尔·道斯（Michael Dowse，曾执导《笨蛋》）的《特技司机》（The Stunt Driver）。这是一部充满活力的传记片，讲述了肯·“疯狂加拿大人”·卡特（Ken “The Mad Canadian” Carter）的故事。这位70年代的速递员曾誓言要驾驶一辆火箭动力林肯大陆车，飞跃渥太华和纽约之间宽一英里的河流。卡特跳跃的地点距离电影节现场四小时车程，不过按照他车辆280 mph的最高时速，不到一小时就能到达。更稳妥的做法是欣赏杰·巴鲁切尔（Jay Baruchel）对这位鲁莽冒险者的幽默且讨喜的刻画——卡特讨厌被称作“胆大妄为之辈”，就像他反感本·福斯特（Ben Foster）饰演的伊夫尔·克尼维尔（Evel Knievel）试图给他建议一样。“加拿大人是上帝选中的子民，”卡特挑衅地低吼道，“我们最不需要的就是一个美国花架子来告诉我们怎么工作。”

今年的大片缺失——不像2025年的《弗兰肯斯坦》（Frankenstein）、《粉碎机》（The Smashing Machine）和《唤醒死者：一部剔骨刀之谜》（Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery）——也可能是行业趋势变化的反映。今年电影节最受关注的两名嘉宾之一是微预算恐怖片热门作品《执念》（Obsession）的因德·纳瓦雷特（Inde Navarrette），该片在去年的TIFF首映；另一位是出生于不列颠哥伦比亚省的哈德逊·威廉姆斯（Hudson Williams），出演了电视体育浪漫剧《激烈竞争》（Heated Rivalry）。十二个月前，这两位演员还是无名的Z世代，可以轻松走进 Tim Hortons 买一个枫糖糖霜甜甜圈而不会引起骚动。现在他们成了明星。

就个人而言，我完全支持新鲜血液。观众和评论家一样，已经厌倦了电影高管们像攥着念珠一样死死抓住那些被证明有效的名字和情节。是的，我希望在逗留期间能看到一些奥斯卡竞争者，并为即将观看的几部电影祈祷。但为了电影观影的大局，如果能发现另一部像《执念》那样被低估的佳作，我会更兴奋。

到目前为止，我还没找到。不过，我看到了一些用极低成本打造的创意之作，比如珍娜·卡托·巴斯（Jenna Cato Bass）的《未来时态》（Future Tense）。这是一部南非科幻剧，讲述了一项旅游服务，允许富人瞬间回到17世纪，在土地被数百年的垃圾、贸易和殖民破坏之前，在晴空下享受热水浴缸。一对不匹配的新情侣塔拉（Tara）和卢万多（Lwando）（由克里斯汀·拉特 Kristen Raath 和劳伦斯·马莱卡 Lawrence Maleka 饰演）——她白皙阳光，他黑肤刻薄——进行了一次激烈的度假，而他们的关系可能无法在这次旅行后幸存。

剧本在最后一幕变得混乱，但巴斯证明了她仅凭品味平淡的装饰、绝美的自然镜头和几个拿着枪的凶悍暴徒，就能完成一个大胆的时间旅行设定。此外，女主角拉特拥有凯伦·艾伦（Karen Allen）般的活力、魅力和笑容，她的突破性表演如此令人愉悦，你几乎可以发誓《夺宝奇兵》（Raiders of the Lost Ark）中的那位纯情少女穿越回了四十年前主演这部电影。

在谈到个人历史中的关键时刻时，九年前，迪安特·格雷（Deanté Gray）还是休斯顿德克萨斯人队的一名新秀外接手。他在训练中撕裂了前十字韧带，在克服了这次挫折后，如今他凭借《声音》（Voices）成为了首次执导长片导演。这是一部精炼且激进的音乐惊悚片，讲述了关于被扼杀的梦想的故事。影片背景设定在1967年底特律的一间破旧汽车旅馆房间里，《声音》是一部关于两组灵魂乐组合的残酷电影，他们一心想在当晚登上舞台，给摩城唱片公司的巴里·戈迪（Barry Gordy）留下深刻印象。

从技术上讲，只有哈莫尼兄弟——巴布尔斯和梅尔文（由乔·梅耶和贾马尔·R·艾弗雷特饰演）预订了演出。但一个渴望成名的行李员乔丹（弗朗西斯·C·埃德莫比饰）及其表弟德里克（埃泽基尔·阿杰格比饰）策划了一个冲动且不成熟的计划，试图顶替竞争对手演出。在德里克野心勃勃的女友米娅（拉埃尔·巴饰）的怂恿下——她正谋划成为该组合的开场嘉宾——这个糟糕的主意在六首原创歌曲中推向高潮，并伴随着伤亡人数的增加。

《声音》的音效设计非常粗犷，传闻中$50,000的预算极其紧张，以至于像廉价塑料垃圾桶这种微小的时代背景不一致之处也悄悄出现在画面中。但这重要吗？萨姆·巴克纳三世（Sam Buckner III）和查理·T·萨维奇（Charlie T. Savage）编写的聪明且令人惊喜的剧本充满了让演员们大放异彩的场景。这里面一定有人——理想情况下是好几个人——最终会获得属于自己的重大突破。

诚然，我有偏见。病态音乐剧是我最喜欢的微型类型之一，从《小商店惊魂》和《所有那一切爵士》到《一场星辰的诞生》和《歌厅》。（如果你还没看过史蒂夫·马丁1981年拍摄的关于大萧条时期舞者的电影《天堂的便士》，请在本周观看。）

将西奥·里斯（Theo Rhys）的《填充》（Stuffed）也加入这个名单。乔迪·科默（《杀死伊芙》）饰演一名哥特风的动物标本制作师；哈里·梅林（《后座》）则饰演一名恐惧死亡、害怕被埋葬和被遗忘的孤独男人。她能否说服这个可怜虫现在就自杀，从而成为她收藏品的一部分？

单是情节就足以让人不寒而栗，它影射了网络上的捕食性约会，以及受害者心态与自大狂之间那种不稳定的混合体，这种混合体会导致人们伤害自己和 / 或他人。尽管故事如此阴暗，但共同编剧乔斯·霍尔登-雷亚（Joss Holden-Rea）创作的曲调却令人惊叹，旋律灵活且歌词极具创意地不落俗套。“我的过去依然在我面前，”梅林高唱道，想象着自己穿着一件天鹅绒西装，配上一块青铜铭牌，自豪地被装裱起来。

《填充》并不适合所有人。但我的那些同样古怪的同类们，一定会爱上这部阴郁而美丽的悲喜剧，直到它从这些海岸（无论到那时它们被称作什么）启航，来到你附近的电影院。

朋克乐队 Dead Boys 吉他手

他那粗粝且狂暴的演奏将一种新流派与早期的、颓废的摇滚乐结合在一起。

作者：August Brown

曾在先驱朋克乐队 Dead Boys 中以 Cheetah Chrome 之名演出的吉他手 Eugene O'Connor 已经去世。他享年 71 岁。

该乐队周一在 Instagram 的一篇帖子中确认了 O'Connor 的死讯。他们写道：“我们极其悲痛地宣布，我们挚爱的朋友兼队友 Cheetah Chrome 离世的消息。Cheetah 是一个真正的原创者，是朋克摇滚运动的构建者，他像一场单人飓风，用他狂野的吉他扫弦和狂躁的能量撕裂了音乐版图。除此之外，Cheetah 还是一个非常友善的人，热爱摇滚乐。”

在克利夫兰长大的 O'Connor 最初在 1974 年作为 Rocket From the Tombs 乐队的成员而崭露头角。该团体包括后来领导实验摇滚团体 Pere Ubu 的 David Thomas，以及后来成为 Dead Boys 的几名成员。O'Connor 加入了由歌手 Stiv Bators 和鼓手 Johnny Blitz 组成的 Frankenstein 团体，该团体随后迅速转型为 Dead Boys，并加入了吉他手 Jimmy Zero 和贝斯手 Jeff Magnum。

他们 1977 年的处女作《Young, Loud and Snotty》的标题概括了他们的美学，这体现在像《Ain’t Nothin’ to Do》这样充满青少年冲动的赞歌，以及庸俗的《Caught With the Meat in Your Mouth》之中。但这支乐队为了在纽约初创的朋克场景中与 Ramones 和 New York Dolls 并肩作战而搬到了纽约，他们凭借像《Sonic Reducer》中沉重的移相器效果等点缀而脱颖而出。Chrome 那粗粝且狂暴的演奏将朋克的紧迫感与对早期颓废摇滚乐的忠诚结合在了一起。

他们在 1978 年发行了第二张 LP 专辑《We Have Come for Your Children》，随后解散。Bators 于 1990 年去世，但在随后的几十年里，该团体偶尔会重新聚首并进行巡演。该乐队出现在多部电影中，包括朋克纪录片《D.O.A.: A Right of Passage》。在 2013 年的传记电影《CBGB》中，Chrome 由 Rupert Grint（因《哈利·波特》而闻名）饰演。

由于 Chrome 是最后一名创始成员，乐队计划在 2027 年为《Young, Loud and Snotty》发行 50 周年举行巡演。

O'Connor 晚年居住在纳什维尔，他的妻子 Anna 和儿子 Rogan 在世。

评论 KATIE WALSH

《实用魔法 2》施展了一场有趣的怀旧咒语

这对女巫姐妹回归了，旨在探索她们力量的根源。并且喝玛格丽塔酒。

在回忆格里芬·邓恩 1998 年执导的那部傻萌又诡异的女巫姐妹电影《实用魔法》时，脑海中立即浮现的画面一定是“午夜玛格丽塔”。妮可·基德曼、桑德拉·布洛克、斯托卡德·钱宁和黛安·威斯特——两代欧文斯姐妹——在厨房里随着哈里·尼尔森的《椰子》起舞，同时搅拌冰冻鸡尾酒的场景，是 1990 年代电影中最难以解释且令人难忘的画面之一，概括了这部电影本身奇特的吸引力。这个场景很傻，有一种古怪的迷人感，而且并不完全合逻辑，但它让人感觉很愉快。这就是《实用魔法》的全部精髓——它不一定是一部“优秀”的电影，但它是一部有趣的电影。

对于第一部电影的爱好者来说，在 28 年后到来的续集将像那些午夜玛格丽塔一样令人畅快。它触及了原版中所有熟悉的基调，同时大大扩展了世界观。令人高兴的是，布洛克和基德曼之间的化学反应并未减弱。邓恩的电影改编自爱丽丝·霍夫曼 1995 年的小说，探讨的是一群由郊区家长教师协会（PTA）母亲组成的意想不到的女巫集会如何克服恐惧和偏见；而续集则讲述了欧文斯家族的女性探索她们力量的根源，并试图打破让她们终身单身的诅咒。由于一位祖先希望再也不要感受到爱情的痛苦，任何让欧文斯女性爱上的男人最终都会死去。

神经紧张的草药师萨莉（布洛克 饰）通过将自己封闭起来来应对这种情况。自由奔放的吉莉安（基德曼 饰）则从不与任何男人建立深厚感情，这构成了第一部电影的大部分戏剧冲突。但在经历了心碎之后，萨莉受够了。她施了一个咒语，让她的女儿们忘记魔法且再也不练习。但当代代相传的诅咒流淌在血脉中时，压抑并不是一个好计划，因为萨莉的女儿凯莉（乔伊·金 饰）现在是一名大学生，已经在母亲背后坠入了爱河。当她的男朋友（索洛·马里杜埃尼亚 饰）遭遇一场严重事故后，困惑的凯莉带着一本强大的咒语书前往英国，试图挽回局面。

导演苏珊娜·比尔接手了《实用魔法 2》，她是执导这部影片的理想人选，她曾引导布洛克出演后末日恐怖片《鸟箱》，并引导基德曼出演以南塔基特为背景的谋杀谜团剧集《完美情侣》。她把握住了那种轻盈的幻想基调，同时也带来了一些更阴暗的元素。在涉及巫术和魔法方面，这部电影不像原版那样是“拿着扫帚的家庭主妇”，而更像是“轻量版《哈利·波特》”，带有神秘的幻象和特效（对于那些……的粉丝来说，这可能被视为一种亵渎）

《实用魔法 2》(Practical Magic 2)

分级：PG-13, 含部分暴力内容、暗示性素材及简短的粗俗语言

片长：2 小时, 10 分钟

上映状态：广泛发行

说到巫师：李·佩斯 (Lee Pace) 饰演片中的性感担当，一名精通魔法的英国专家。当莎莉 (Sally) 和吉莉安 (Gillian) 跨越大西洋追寻凯莉 (Kylie) 时，弗兰姨妈 (Aunt Fran，钱宁 饰) 向她们推荐了他。尽管莎莉心存顾虑，但她立即与这位纹身教授产生了联系，即便其中潜藏着一两个危险信号。但吉莉安的男人在哪里？虽然她在第一部电影中那种狂野不羁的作风可能随着吉米·安格洛夫 (Jimmy Angelov，戈兰·维斯尼奇 饰) 的离世而终结，但她同样值得拥有调情的机会。

在这部拥有三对姐妹的电影中，总有一个人被冷落，无论是过着与猫为伴单身生活的吉莉安，还是出场时间过短的杰特姨妈 (Aunt Jet，威斯特 饰)，亦或是安东尼娅 (Antonia，梅西·威廉姆斯 饰)——她被委以一项吃力不讨好的任务，在医院守护姐姐男友的病床，而凯莉则在英国的废墟中纵情奔跑，破解数世纪之久的诅咒。

但魔法依然存在，尤其是 Bullock，她再次成为了这部电影的核心。自 2022, 年以来她尚未主演过电影，但在诠释这个故事的情感方面，她依然像以往一样出色。她饰演的莎莉痛苦且紧绷，用焦虑筑起了一道保护墙。当她的力量打破这些墙壁时，我们看到这种力量源于对家庭深沉的爱与忠诚。她必须学会适度地享受生活，但她希望她的女儿们能尽情地生活。

这部电影是否有点俗套？如果不俗套，那就不是《实用魔法 2》了。但午夜玛格丽特酒依然在流淌，Bullock 和 Kidman 依然没有失去她们的魅力。

洛杉矶文学界的15场活动

[Literary from E1] 认为这些活动难以触及，要么规模太大，要么过于排外。但佛蒙特大道（Vermont Avenue）和希尔赫斯特大道（Hillhurst Avenue）似乎正是举办此类活动的理想之地。于是，洛斯费利斯作家节（Los Feliz Writer Festival）诞生了。

“洛斯费利斯非常有艺术气息，而且聚集了许多作家。在社区里组织这样一个活动很有趣，”金斯伯格（Ginsberg）说道。

金斯伯格厌倦了那些关于纽约文学界被过度讨论且充斥着无尽神话的话题。她说，我们虽然没有《纽约客》（New Yorker）或《巴黎评论》（Paris Review），但我们拥有彼此。她指出，洛杉矶县有数百万人。“我想，‘我们不需要纽约。我们有自己的人。’”

这种敢闯敢干的 DIY 特质使得洛杉矶的文学社区即使对于身处其中的人来说也显得神秘。作为圣费尔南多谷（San Fernando Valley）的本地人，金斯伯格知道这座城市周围有很多活动在进行——你只需要知道去哪里寻找。

“有很多事情在发生，但你必须在圈内才知情，”她说。“活动往往在某个人的客厅里举行，因为预订场地的费用太高了。”

8月下旬，金斯伯格组织了第二届年度洛斯费利斯作家节，这是一个由朗诵会、工作坊、派对和其他文学杂项组成的庞大集合。“去年我们举办了，效果非常好，”她说。“今年，它规模更大，更疯狂，也更神奇。”

在某种程度上，这个节日是金斯伯格全年一直在悄悄构建的社区的延伸。自10月以来，她在洛斯费利斯的聚集地 Big Bar at Alcove 每周举办一次“闭嘴写”（Shut Up & Write）活动。“我们一起吃晚餐，然后安静地坐在彼此身边写作，”金斯伯格说。“每周都能见到对方，这是一种自然且缓慢地结识人们的方式。”

洛斯费利斯作家节以“诗人是新时代的流行巨星”（Poets Are the New Popstars）拉开帷幕，这是一场在洛斯费利斯私人住宅中举行的朗诵会兼家庭派对。在整个节日的13场活动中，作家们可以参加个人散文工作坊，接受塔罗牌占卜，并在东好莱坞的 Tabula Rasa 酒吧庆祝弗兰克·奥哈拉（Frank O'Hara）、艾伦·金斯伯格（Allen Ginsberg）和哈珀·李（Harper Lee）的百岁诞辰。“我制作了这些限量版的官方派对小册子（zines），里面包含这些作者的诗歌和语录，”金斯伯格说。

金斯伯格将文学场景想象成一个协作项目。“对我来说，这有点像文青版的‘龙与地下城’。我是在和朋友们一起玩，”她在谈到这个计划每年组织一次的节日时说道。未来，该节日希望纳入更多元的声音。“在第二年，我们试图开放对话，”她说。“我们也相信洛杉矶属于每个人，并希望它成为一个面向所有人的作家节。”

评论家、作家兼喜剧演员克里斯蒂娜·凯瑟琳·马丁内斯（Christina Catherine Martinez）对洛杉矶文学界的看法则更为尖锐。

“很多派对和朗诵会，但没有多少署名文章，”她沉思道。“就像是现实版的 Substack，但仍然在追求传统的出版合约——某种程度上，旧世界正在死去，而新世界尚未诞生。”

然而，马丁内斯对全市范围内涌现的朗诵会表示欢迎。“我喜欢有这么多朗诵会，”她说。“15年前，我唯一能与其他作家交流的机会就是一年一度的《艺术论坛》（Artforum）晚宴，那时文学界还依附于艺术界。”

今年秋天，洛杉矶将举办一系列风格迥异的文学活动，从知名小说家的朗诵会到新兴作家和读者的私密聚会。对于那些希望沉浸在这座城市蓬勃发展的文学场景中的人们，这里有15场在洛杉矶各地举行的朗诵会和文学活动。

前一谜题答案

桥牌

作者：弗兰克·斯图尔特 (FRANK STEWART)

我和我那位身为英语教授的朋友在俱乐部休息室时，一名牌手向他提出了一个谜题：“教授，英语中唯一以‘mt’结尾的单词是什么？”

“这让我想起今天我打的一局牌，”教授沉思道。他写下了今天的牌局布局。

“我的搭档叫了四 spades（黑桃）。西家拿走了 clubs（梅花）的 K-A 并出了一张主牌。搭档抽掉主牌，然后出死手牌的 hearts（红心）Q 试图进行 finesse（逼牌），西家拿走 K 并回了一张红心。搭档赢牌后让 diamonds（方块）Q 跑掉，东家的 K 赢了。最后输了一墩。”

在西家展示了单张黑桃和梅花 A-K 之后，东家至少持有一张 K，否则西家将会

咨询埃里克

亲爱的埃里克：多年来，我和丈夫经常与我的父母一起旅行，体验非常愉快。我们总是邀请他们参加我们与孩子们的家庭度假，整体氛围一直很和谐。

他们现在都 80 多岁了。我很感激他们依然是我们生活的重要组成部分，并且都能出行，但在最近几次旅行中，我们注意到他们的行为和行动能力发生了显著变化。他们过度关注金钱（尽管他们经济宽裕），并且在他人建议乘坐 Uber / Lyft 或公共交通时，坚持认为自己能走得动，这让每个人都感到不舒服。

我能想象无法做习惯的事情会有多么令人沮丧，所以我认为解决方案可能是为他们规划“长辈友好型”旅行，考虑到他们较慢的节奏。（他们并不知道这些旅行与我们平时的旅行有所不同。）

我和丈夫热爱在城市中漫步，旅行时通常每天走 10 到 12 英里。我已经准备好只和丈夫以及成年孩子一起旅行了，但我很害怕即将到来的那些令人尴尬的对话。关于如何让这件事对他们和我来说都更容易一些，您有什么建议吗？

努力做一个好女儿 在单张黑桃上出牌。南家应仅出王牌 J，然后从假人手中出一张低方块。当东家出 K 时，南家可以在方块 A-J 上弃掉两张红心。如果西家持有方块 K，南家可以期待红心虚招获胜。“我的搭档据说是位优秀的庄家，”教授告诉我们，“我做梦也没想到他会输。”

你持有：♠ A K Q 6 3 ♥ A 10 5 ♦ Q 5 ♣ 9 6 2. 你的搭档开叫 1 方块，你响应 1 黑桃，他叫 2 梅花，你尝试“第四套牌”叫 2 红心。搭档随后叫 3 方块。你会怎么叫？

亲爱的女儿：想要创建“长辈友好型”旅行的冲动是一种善良的表现。虽然你可能不想让他们知道你正试图根据他们能力的下降来规划行程，但这在情理之中；不过，坦诚地讨论这件事并邀请他们参与规划本身，可能是很有帮助的下一步。

在规划下次旅行时，你可以和父母谈谈你想要进行 10 到 12 英里步行之旅的愿望，并建议他们（或许还有其他家庭成员）为那些日子制定一个让他们开心且符合他们现状的计划。这可能意味着他们陪你走一部分路，然后在博物馆或公园逗留。或者意味着他们自行活动，然后与你共进晚餐。

希望是让每个人都能拥有自己想要的假期。部分成员在部分时间分开行动是完全没问题的。

在厨房里，谢天谢地，反应较为轻微（嘴唇 / 舌头肿胀），但对我来说仍然相当可怕且尴尬。

多年来，这家公司的老板及其妻子（她也在那里工作）一直确保菜单上不出现贝类海鲜。然而，在过去三年里，情况发生了变化，我对这种新局面感到非常不安。我的丈夫在管理层，而他的老板不喜欢有人不参加他的派对。

然而，我们不喝酒，而且我们两个都不能吃任何东西，所以我坐在那里感到很尴尬，尤其是当有人催促我吃喝的时候。请在下次派对之前帮帮我。

我不参加派对

亲爱的派对：老板和他的妻子突然不再关注你的过敏情况，这有点奇怪。可能有多种原因，因此询问他们可能会有用。或者，你的丈夫可以提起这件事，因为他是与他们经常互动的人。

也有可能是其他人接管了派对规划工作。如果你与老板交谈，这件事很可能会被提及，然后你可以联系新的派对规划员。

马戏团帐篷下的无缝协作

TYLER West（上图）在舞台上表演杂耍；演员、杂技演员兼马戏团队长 Serafina Walker（左上）；舞蹈队长兼 Marlena 替补 Summer Severin。

共同编舞 Jesse Robb 出身于音乐会和戏剧背景，而他的共同编舞 / 马戏设计师 Shana Carroll 则来自马戏世界，曾为太阳马戏团（Cirque du Soleil）担任导演和编舞。Carroll 还是备受赞誉的马戏团体“7 Fingers”的共同创始艺术总监。

“这次合作之所以如此特别，是因为我们不仅仅是将各自不同的视角带到讨论桌上——我们在作品中真正地融合在一起，”Robb 说道。“马戏、百老汇和音乐会语言之间的界限变得流动，在这种交汇中产生了一些全新的东西。”

《水之象》（Water for Elephants）改编自 Sara Gruen 2006 年的小说，讲述了 93 岁的 Jacob Jankowski 回忆他在 20 世纪 30 年代在巡回马戏团度过的一段时光的故事。作为一名年轻的兽医学生，Jacob 在一场惨剧中失去了父母，随后跳上了一列行驶中的火车，而这列火车恰好属于 Benzini 兄弟马戏团。他被老板兼团长 August Rosenbluth 雇佣，但当 Jacob 与 August 的妻子 Marlena 坠入爱河时，情况变得复杂起来，两人当时正共同训练一头名叫 Rosie 的倔强大象，准备将其打造为明星节目。

这个故事在 2011 年被改编成电影，随后被重新创作成为一部音乐剧，由 PigPen Theatre Company 负责音乐和歌词，Rick Elice 编写剧本，Jessica Stone 执导。在 2023 年于亚特兰大演出后，《水之象》于 2024 年 3 月登上百老汇，并获得了包括最佳音乐剧在内的 7 项托尼奖提名。首场全美巡演将在洛杉矶进行至 9 月 27 日，随后于 11 月 10 日至 22 日在科斯塔梅萨的 Segerstrom 艺术中心演出。

同样展现出极强多面性的还有 Summer Severin，她除了是群演替补成员外，还担任舞蹈队长并担任 Marlena 一角的替补。虽然 Severin 在表演、唱歌和舞蹈方面有深厚的背景，但她发现自己正在学习从未想象过的技能，从站在别人的肩膀上到空中表演。

“我从未接受过杂技、马戏或任何相关训练，”Severin 说道，为了饰演 Marlena，她必须学习一套秋千表演。Severin 表示她进来时是“完全零基础”的，花了四周时间才学会这套动作。虽然人们可能认为她的肢体动作背景会有所帮助，但她说这实际上带来了一个挑战。“那是最难学的东西，因为作为一名舞者，你与地面有一种特定的关系，而现在你必须与一个不能完全随你而动的设备一起起舞。”

幸运的是，塞夫林表示，每个人在时间和知识上的分享都非常慷慨。“马戏表演者绝不是那种守门人，”她指出，“他们希望与所有人分享自己热爱的事物，而且这种情感是完全相互的。这部剧所桥接的所有不同世界，都具有感染力。”

共同编舞罗布将演员之间的同步性和同志情谊在很大程度上归功于导演。“我们无畏的领导者杰西卡·斯通始终认为，《大象之水》应该感觉像是一个整体公司，”他说，“每个人都需要感觉到自己是同一个在全国巡演的马戏团成员。这里没有演员、马戏艺术家、舞者、音乐家、操偶师或歌手之间的阵营之分。”

这种理念也延伸到了他与卡罗尔的合作中。尽管两人都曾与太阳马戏团（Cirque du Soleil）合作过，但在进入这段被他戏称为“包办婚姻”的关系之前，两人从未见过面。幸运的是，这种合作奏效了。“我们一直在寻找各自专业领域可以重叠并相互增强的地方。整个制作过程就成了这一理念的实践：利用你所知道的，学习你不知道的，并且足够信任周围的人，去尝试一些新事物。”

这也是表演者们表示尽管舞台上出现了一些挑战死亡的惊险动作，但他们始终感到安全的原因之一。虽然沃克承认一天两场演出会令人疲惫，且她花费大量时间专注于“能量保存”，但表演本身是一种享受。

塞夫林对此表示赞同。“其实并没有真正可怕的时刻，”她说，“你知道有人会接住你。我每天都把生命托付给这些人。这已经融入到了编舞中，融入到了这部剧的本质之中。”

《安提戈涅》被壮丽地移置于阿兹特克帝国

CASSIA DAVIS J. 盖蒂信托基金会 安提科娜（Esperanza América 饰）被卫兵（左侧的 Kevin Ortiz 和 Pollo）控制。在寻求为其死去的战士哥哥安葬时，她公然违抗皇帝。

（接前文 [E1] 的《安提戈涅》）其进程犹如一场盛大的游行。头戴华丽头饰的战士们在战场上激烈交锋。一个戴着面具的合唱团以百老汇音乐剧剧团般的协调感在移动，发出了集体焦虑与悲恸的声音。一个如雕塑般的身影代表死亡，拖着黑色织物，以如同人体吸尘器般的效率将战争的伤亡者席卷而去。

在索福克勒斯的剧作中，俄狄浦斯倔强的女儿安提戈涅违抗了她的叔叔、新任代理国王克瑞翁发布的法令。克瑞翁宣布她被杀的哥哥波吕尼刻斯是国家的敌人，因此不配获得安葬。

对于安提戈涅而言，这是政治权力对神圣法律的强加，于是她冒着生命危险，以维护对家庭和信仰的义务。

德国哲学家黑格尔认为索福克勒斯的《安提戈涅》是悲剧的最高峰，因为它将两种同样正当的道德立场的碰撞戏剧化了。克瑞翁代表城邦相对于家族的诉求，不能被简单地否定；而安提戈涅对自身事业的极度认同使其对其他义务漠不关心，因此也不能被视为一个亲民的英雄。

悲剧产生于他们诉求的片面性。安提戈涅失去了生命，而克瑞翁在实际意义上摧毁了自己的生活，承受了最亲爱之人的死亡。

黑格尔对《安提戈涅》的解读阐明了他关于辩证进步的“正-反-合”观点。从索福克勒斯“俄狄浦斯循环”中的其他剧作可以推测，他创作《安提戈涅》时可能有着更宏大的形而上学设计。但即便黑格尔的解释在他看来可能并不准确，安提戈涅和克瑞翁这两个角色也过于复杂，无法被简化为一种图式化的论证。

费尔南德斯简化了这些对立者。她的安提科娜（由气场强大的 Esperanza América 饰演）在拒绝她的妹妹伊克斯梅内（Alexis B. Santiago 饰）——因后者没有勇气热切地加入她的战斗——时，依然展现出了温柔的一面。

特诺奇蒂特兰的皇帝特拉托尼·克里昂（Cástulo Guerra 饰）是一位沉溺于自身权威的统治者，显然在招致神灵的谴责。他的傲慢被击碎只是时间问题。

表演在戏剧效果上十分强劲，尽管并非总能细腻。我好奇模棱两可的表达是否与安提科娜的战士哥哥波吕尼刻斯的葬礼仪式一起被禁了。表演中那种大胆的清晰感令人振奋，但有时那些哀嚎听起来像是在模仿悲伤。

这部剧规模宏大的特质诱发了过度的表演。饰演查查拉卡尼的 Ric Salinas 幽默地顺应了这一点，将他在 Culture Clash 剧团的杂耍技巧带入了哨兵这个角色——这个角色被夹在克里昂暴政的磐石与对安提科娜同情事业的共情之间。

饰演克里昂之子、安提科娜未婚夫海蒙的 José Eduardo Moreno，以及饰演克里昂之妻西瓦特拉托尼·欧律狄刻的 Zilah Mendoza 均贡献了出色的表演。他们的塑造将凶猛的力量与赤裸的脆弱相结合，使得剧终时堆积的尸体显得更加令人心碎。

América 饰演的安提科娜和我见过的任何一个安提戈涅一样坚定。这是一个极具掌控力的塑造，但我希望剧组不要削弱主角的凶猛。该角色顽固的一面在安提科娜给予伊克斯梅内的一个姿态中被弱化了——一种保证，即尽管她是一名革命者，但她依然是一个充满爱心的姐姐。

索福克勒斯的笔触更为冷酷。费尔南德斯的改编急于将悲剧变成一场布道，在索福克勒斯让观众处于沉思且震惊的沉默状态之处，为剧场观众提供了道德上的慰藉。

但舞台呈现弥补了戏剧上的不足。瓦伦祖埃拉精湛地掌控了场面调度。卡塔里娜·科佩利设计的庄重服装，唤起了一个即将消失的、富丽堂皇的织锦世界，这或许才是真正的超级巨星。

弗朗索瓦-皮埃尔·库图尔的场景设计令人着迷，且从未

过于强势。“Lee”李新源的灯光增强了剧场中预兆不安的感觉。Yee Eun Nam 的投影为这个转瞬即逝的世界注入了一种令人欣喜的微妙感。

Urbanie Lucero 的编舞和动作指导维持了这部作品优雅的姿态。

在美索美洲乐器指导 Christopher García 的带领下，音乐家们在舞台后方低调地演出，使空气中充满了原住民打击乐的奇妙感。

《安提戈涅：以国王之语》标志着盖蒂别墅为当代重新演绎古典悲剧 20 周年。如此华丽的舞台呈现让我热切希望剧院能将这一传统至少再延续 20 年。

Forced back to a regime they had escaped

Nicaraguan dissidents, once welcomed by the U.S., face deportation to their homeland.

BY KATE LINTHICUM AND ISMAEL LÓPEZ

MEXICO CITY — Nicaraguan journalist Luis Galeano fled his country in 2018 after police raided the television station where he broadcast his popular talk show, arresting two of his colleagues.

Galeano applied for political asylum when he arrived in Florida on a tourism visa, saying he faced grave risks back home for his fierce criticism of Nicaragua's left-wing Sandinista government, which the U.S. labels a dictatorship. Soon after, Nicaragua declared Galeano a "traitor to the homeland" and confiscated his home and assets in the capital of Managua.

This week, U.S. immigration agents arrested Galeano in Orlando. Despite his ongoing asylum case, he now faces deportation to the country he fled and whose abuses he has spent years documenting.

Journalists, human rights advocates and political dissidents who were persecuted in Nicaragua and sought safety in the United States are increasingly being detained as the Trump administration widens its deportation dragnet and narrows access to asylum and other forms of protection.

Recent targets include activists who fled Nicaragua after a bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protests in 2018 and opposition leaders critical of the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, a married couple who lead Nicaragua as co-presidents.

Tuesday's scene was a mixture of confusion and chaos, with first responders fanned out across two catastrophes and TV news teams desperately trying to find out whether their journalists were safe. The crashes claimed the lives of five people and left others with various degrees of injury.

Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration were trying Wednesday to determine exactly what caused the news helicopter, a Eurocopter AS350 B2, to go down.

NTSB Investigator Fabian Salazar said officials are searching through the wreckage, combing through maintenance logbooks, security footage, weather reports and witness interviews, and reviewing the pilot's training to figure out what went wrong.

EU offers to make Canada ‘associate’

The proposal touting ‘common strength’ comes as relationships with U.S. are fraying.

By Rob Gillies

STRASBOURG, France — European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday proposed making Canada the European Union's first associate member, a striking overture as President Trump's threats drive Ottawa closer to Europe.

Trump's tariffs and repeated talk of making Canada the 51st state have soured the relationship between the North American neighbors. Canada is seeking to reduce its dependence on the United States, the destination for roughly 70% of its exports, and Prime Minister Mark Carney has called for a “unique alliance” with the EU.

In her annual State of the European Union address, Von der Leyen said Canada and the EU would build on their existing free trade agreement, known as CETA, with a broader “Alliance for the Future” aimed at creating “a common prosperity and economic security space."

She cast that closer relationship as rooted not just in trade but in shared democratic values.

“Above all, dear Mark, Europe and Canada believe in democracy,” Von der Leyen said to Carney, who received a standing ovation at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. He is due to [See Canada. A4]

La Opinión reflects on century in L.A.

About a dozen Spanish-language newspapers were operating in Los Angeles when Ignacio E. Lozano Sr. launched La Opinión.

It was Mexican Independence Day in 1926, a few years before the Great Depression and the forced removal of Mexicans and Mexican Americans that followed.

Through it all, La Opinión stood the test of time. It chronicled the lives of the city's growing Mexican community for generations, reaching huge levels of influence in the 1980s and 1990s as immigration from Mexico and Central America reshaped the region in profound demographic and political ways.

This week, the paper reached a milestone, marking a century covering L.A.'s increasingly diverse Latino

LAUSD weighs fate of schools as enrollment dives

District officials face tough choices on ‘rebuilding while also downsizing’ campuses.

BY HOWARD BLUME

Enrollment in Los Angeles schools has taken another steep dive — about 4% this year — as officials press ahead with a multibillion-dollar modernization and rebuilding plan, raising questions about investing in campuses that may soon be shuttered.

The school closure issue was supposed to move forward Tuesday, as the Board of Education was slated to vote on hiring a consultant to advise in that arena. But the contract was pulled from consideration at the last moment after mounting alarm among parent activists and employee groups. Instead, Supt. Andrés Chait hit the reset button with a districtwide message.

"When schools become very small, it can be harder to provide the full range of opportunities our students deserve," Chait wrote. "That is why, over the coming weeks, we will begin a community conversation about how we can strengthen our schools and make sure every student has access to the opportunities and support they need to succeed."

"Our goal is not simply to have fewer schools," he added. "Our goal is to have stronger schools."

The decisions weigh heavily into imminent issues confronting the Board of Education, which must carry out a budget-cutting plan to prevent a deficit that, in a worst-case scenario, could increase to \$3.5 billion by June 30, 2029. Layoffs, unpaid staff furloughs and school closures probably are ahead as the leaders downsize operations.

At the same time, the school district has proceeded full force into its ongoing school reconstruction and modernization program, which voters buttressed in November 2024 with \$9 billion in bonds.

On Tuesday, the board approved major reconstruction projects at four elementary schools for a combined \$322.6 million — Menlo Avenue, 93rd Street, 96th Street and 122nd Street, all in South Los Angeles. These projects were taken on to address earthquake risks and then expanded in scope.

In June, the board approved three other seismic-risk reconstructions totaling \$496.9 million: Nor-[See Schools, A6]

Reclaiming art looted by Nazis

Families sue museums, including the Norton Simon, in an effort to get works back.

BY KEVIN RECTOR

For the first time since California and Congress passed a pair of laws bolstering U.S.-based claims to Nazi-looted artwork around the world, two lawsuits have been filed in California demanding prominent museums relinquish pieces seized during World War II.

In one case, filed in federal court in Los Angeles on Monday, the daughters of Auschwitz survivor Dina Gottliebova Babbitt sued the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in Poland for the return of watercolors Babbitt was forced to paint of fellow prisoners for the Nazi physician and war criminal Josef Mengele.

In the other, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles and Daniel Gryczman, the federation's board chair, sued the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena for the return of the diptych "Adam and Eve," a pair of 16th century masterpieces by Lucas Cranach the Elder.

The lawsuits revive legal battles waged unsuccessfully for the watercolors and the diptych for years, on the premise that their claims are newly viable under the new laws — one passed by California lawmakers in 2024 and the other signed into law by President Trump earlier this year.

Both laws were inspired in part by another legal battle over looted art between a California family and a prominent museum, which is still ongoing.

Saudis seek allies' help in fight with Houthis as missiles run low

BY SAMY MAGDY, SUZAN FRASER AND MUNIR AHMED

CAIRO — Saudi Arabia is running low on missile interceptors and has turned to regional and Western allies for assistance as its standoff with Houthi rebels in Yemen drags on, two regional officials said Wednesday.

The officials said the Saudis have asked France, Britain, Pakistan and Egypt to deploy air-defense support to the region to help defend against missiles and drones fired by Houthis and other Iran-backed groups.

The outreach was initiated because Saudi Arabia's main ally and arms supplier, the United States, has seen its own stock of interceptors dwindle over the course of a six-month war with Iran, one official said. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.

Saudi officials did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment.

The fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis is the latest front to erupt as a result of the Iran war. On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia accused the Houthis of trying to attack Islam's holiest city with a drone; the region responded with condemnation but no sign of military support.

The kingdom declared Mecca, the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad, a “red line” and said it had intercepted the drone. The Houthis denied targeting Mecca, about 680 miles from Yemen’s border.

With the world's biggest oil exporter under fire from rebels backed by the Saudis' regional adversary, the kingdom needs a safe outlet for its crude as well as military assistance. There's no clear path to either.

A crucial Saudi pipeline has been shut down, reportedly for weeks, after an attack by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq. The Houthis have been targeting infrastructure in the kingdom and its shipping on the Red Sea, where they have seized several islands in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. And Iran is still targeting ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices remain above \$100 a barrel.

One of the regional officials said Saudi Arabia is in a “very difficult position,” since it has to protect not only its military bases and vital government installations, but also oil facilities across the kingdom.

The second official said Saudi Arabia is also seeking to rally its international allies to launch a collective response against the Houthis. "But the decision now is to give diplomacy a chance," the official said, adding that Oman and Egypt are leading efforts for de-escalation in Yemen.

Last weekend, Oman hosted a meeting between U.S. and Houthi representatives to discuss the tensions, said two people familiar with the matter, including a Houthi official. They gave no further details and spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to brief the media.

On Tuesday, the British prime minister's spokesman, Tom Wells, confirmed the U.K. has a “close defense partnership” with Saudi Arabia. But he declined to say whether Saudi Arabia has asked for military assistance, or say whether British troops are in the country.

U.S. and NATO officials have previously acknowledged a critical shortage of missile interceptors in Europe, raising questions about Europe's ability to assist.

A Turkish government official said Turkey was engaged in talks with Iran and the United Arab Emirates to try to lower tensions. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the issue publicly, did not provide further details.

The attacks are the first test of a new defense pact among Saudi Arabia, NATO member Turkey and nuclear power Pakistan. But officials from Turkey and Pakistan told the Associated Press they have not received a Saudi request for support in response to the Houthis' escalation. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the issue.

Amid the condemnation of the attempted attack on Mecca, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said his country and the Saudis stand “unwaveringly, shoulder to shoulder.” Turkey’s foreign minister expressed solidarity and said no country can “remain indifferent,” state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

The United States has sold billions of dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia and has committed to other support, but top U.S. officials have indicated a lack of desire to get involved in the conflict.

Vice President JD Vance on Monday said Washington had been in “constant contact” with the Saudis and had “engaged in direct conversations with the Houthis.”

When asked whether Saudi Arabia had requested intervention, a U.S. official said the U.S. military's Central Command has a task force in place for “enhancing intelligence sharing and planning support with Saudi forces."

The U.S. military hosted senior military leaders from eight countries last week at a conference in Germany to discuss “opportunities for enhancing security cooperation in the Middle East,” the official also said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly. The official did not confirm which countries attended.

Without offering evidence, the Houthis claimed Wednesday that they shot down an F-15 fighter jet operated by the Saudi-backed coalition over Yemen's central province of Marib.

Houthi spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree didn't say when it occurred, and the AP could not independently verify the claim.

Meanwhile, Iran's top diplomat was in China, the biggest buyer of Iranian oil.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called on the U.S. and Iran to exercise restraint and reopen the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible. He expressed China's concern about the spread of the fighting to Yemen and the Red Sea, according to China's Foreign Ministry.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Tehran seeks “the restoration of calm to the region and friendly and peaceful relations with our neighbors.”

Magdy, Fraser, and Ahmed write for the Associated Press. Fraser reported from Ankara, Turkey, and Ahmed from Islamabad, Pakistan.

Harry, Meghan move kids to new school

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, have moved their two children to a new school over security concerns, a spokesperson said Tuesday, just weeks after the family returned to the U.K. to make a fresh start.

"The decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family's security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements," the spokesperson said in a statement.

Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, had only just started the new school year in England after the family relocated from California in late August.

British media reported that the distance of the school from the family's home and the heavy traffic on the route were among the concerns raised by the couple and their security team. The family is living at a private, non-royal residence outside London.

“This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there,” the statement added.

The news followed reports that Harry and Meghan were awaiting a new risk assessment from the government committee that reviews protection of VIPs, including a decision on whether the family should be entitled to publicly funded security now that they live in the U.K.

Harry and Meghan gave up their royal duties and moved to California more than six years ago, saying they wanted to earn their own living. They later signed lucrative contracts with Netflix and Spotify.

Although relations with the rest of the royal family have soured since then, Harry has recently expressed an interest in reconciliation so he could spend more time with his father, King Charles III.

Harry has fought a long-running battle with Britain's government for the restoration of publicly funded police protection, which was canceled when the couple gave up their royal roles.

He had previously said he couldn't “see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K.” without a security guarantee.

Earlier this month, the king reiterated that Harry and Meghan remain non-working members of the royal family and will continue to refrain from using formal royal titles, as they have done since 2020.

The couple said they were surprised by the way the monarch issued that statement because they were given little time to review it.

Kosovo's former leader sentenced for war crimes

individuals are now being held accountable," she said in a statement.

BY MIKE CORDER

THE HAGUE — Kosovo's former President Hashim Thaci was sen- tenced to 25 years in prison on Wednesday after being found guilty of war crimes committed during the war for independence from Ser- bia in 1998-99.

Thaci resigned from office nearly six years ago to face the charges at the European Union-backed Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague. He was convicted of murder, torture, cruel treatment and arbitrary detention.

Both he and the prosecutors, who had asked for a stricter sentence, can appeal.

The judgment sparked anger among Thaci's supporters and was a crushing blow for a man who was once embraced by the West, invited to the 1999 peace talks in France and seen as the leader who could guide Kosovo to independence.

Presiding Judge Charles Smith said Thaci actively participated in and encouraged crimes, including by promoting individuals involved in crimes, and “showed a ruthless ability to remove and eliminate political impediments” to his and other commanders’ leadership.

Wearing a suit and tie, Thaci stood in silence as Smith read out the sentence.

Kosovo Foreign Minister Glauk Konjufca condemned the verdicts as “a terrible judgment for Kosovo, for our people and for our liberation war.”

Hundreds of supporters waited at a park near the courthouse in The Hague, and some clashed briefly with Dutch riot police, who said on X that they detained two people.

In Kosovo's capital, Pristina, thousands of people watched the hearing live on a huge screen and were stunned by the sentence. Some shouted "UCK," the Albanian-language acronym for the Kosovo Liberation Army that Thaci once led before entering politics.

One supporter, Bekim Fetahu, said the verdict was “a catastrophic decision.”

Later, masked protesters threw stones at the wall surrounding the compound of the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo, known as EULEX, on the outskirts of Pristina, smashing several windows.

Smith, the presiding judge, said Thaci “used his position, leadership, authority and standing” to encourage crimes and failed to investigate or punish abuse by KLA fighters.

However, the American judge also stressed that the trial was “not about the legitimacy of the Kosovo Liberation Army” or its ultimate goal of securing independence for Kosovo, which at the time was a province in Serbia.

Specialist Prosecutor Kimberly West applauded the judgment. "Certain individuals exploited those war circumstances to commit grave crimes, and it is to the credit of Kosovo that those

In Belgrade, Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic said “we have no reason to rejoice” and expressed concern that the verdict will not hold after appeals. Vucic was critical that multiple other alleged crimes against ethnic Serb civilians have not been taken into account, claiming anti-Serb bias.

“Serbs are always [war] criminals and others are liberators and heroes,” he said.

Thaci was on trial with three other former KLA leaders who fought Serbian forces in the 1998-99 war and are widely regarded as national heroes in Kosovo. They pleaded not guilty to all charges against them.

The four were acquitted on six charges of crimes against humanity because the judges said the prosecutors failed to prove that crimes were committed as part of a systematic attack on civilians.

They were found guilty of the war crimes of the arbitrary detention of 385 people, cruel treatment of 49, torture of 303 detainees and the murder of 96 people.

Thaci and the other defendants, Kadri Veseli, Rexhep Selimi and Jakup Krasniqi, all maintained their innocence. Veseli was sentenced to 18 years, Selimi to 13 years and Krasniqi to 25 years in prison.

Veseli's lawyer, Rodney Dixon, described the judgment as “not a good day for Kosovo. It’s not a good day for the rule of law or international law” and said he would “mount a robust appeal to continue the fight to show Mr. Veseli’s innocence and to bring him home to Kosovo.”

As his trial ended in February, Thaci told judges: "Throughout my life, I stood with the people of Kosovo, defending freedom, life and dignity. I was always guided by the Western ideals of democracy, equality and justice."

But the court ruled that Thaci and his co-defendants targeted political opponents and civilians perceived as collaborators and traitors during their time in the KLA.

“In reality, there is no indication that the victims in this case were spies or collaborators,” Smith said. Just having “Serbian friends or jobs in Serbian companies was enough to treat them as collaborators” of the enemy.

When fighting broke out, Thaci was a student who returned from what he described as political exile in Switzerland to join Kosovo's struggle for independence. He earned the nickname "the Snake" for his ability to evade Serbian forces during the conflict.

Thaci rose to political power after the war but resigned as president to defend himself before the court in The Hague.

Building in Gaza collapses after Israeli strikes; at least 21 killed

BY JEHAD ALSHRAFI, WAFAA SHURAFA AND JULIA FRANKEL

GAZA CITY — A building damaged by Israeli strikes collapsed suddenly in Gaza City early Wednesday, killing at least 21 people in their sleep, including 11 children, in a disaster that forced rescuers to dig through the rubble with bare hands.

The collapse of the building, which was known to be unstable from strikes earlier in the war, underscored how perilous living conditions have become for most of the Palestinian enclave's population as a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas stalls.

No reconstruction work has happened since the ceasefire was agreed to almost a year ago. Israel has said it will not permit any rebuilding until Hamas disarms, and only a handful of excavators have been allowed into Gaza.

Asked if it would allow machinery in to help with the collapse, COGAT, the Israeli military body charged with coordinating aid in the Gaza Strip, said the Israeli government's policy is that heavy machinery is allowed into Gaza.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the death toll included 11 children and five women, according to Zaher al-Wahidi, a spokesperson for the Gaza Health Ministry. He said at least 14 people were injured, and rescuers had finished digging.

About six displaced Palestinian families had sheltered there, despite knowing the structure was on the brink of collapse, according to Gaza's civil defense. "The lack of options and alternatives left them with no other choice," said Aboud Majdalawi, a civil defense rescuer.

Gaza's roughly 2 million people now live in a stretch of land that makes up less than half the territory. They are dependent on aid and are surrounded by Israeli troops who carry out strikes and attacks on a near-daily basis.

In the aftermath of the collapse, people searched desperately for loved ones.

A group of men were seen carrying the headless body of a child. Others sat atop a pile of rubble, pulling desperately at flashes of color they believed could be clothing worn by a survivor. All they found were dust-caked blankets wedged in the debris.

The collapse comes as rescuers in the Gaza Strip are trying to unearth hundreds of bodies from buildings that collapsed in Israeli strikes earlier in the war. They have just a few working excavators, and their fuel supply is dwindling.

On Wednesday, the U.N. human rights chief said he worried that the bodies recovered so far are just the "tip of the iceberg."

"It is heartbreaking that the loved ones of those missing for so long are only now having their worst fears confirmed," he said. "Much of Gaza has been flattened by Israeli bombing or demolition and clearing by heavy machinery and explosives."

More than one-fifth of buildings in Gaza City assessed by the Norwegian Refugee Council in March were not structurally sound, but residents inhabiting them said they had nowhere else to go.

The council leads a coalition of shelter providers in Gaza. In August, the coalition released an assessment of shelter conditions in the strip that said two-thirds of Palestinian households were living in tent camps.

Among those living in buildings, 72% of households were in structures with minor or moderate damage.

The war was sparked after the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, 2023, in which militants stormed into southern Israel and killed about 1,200 people and took 251 people hostage. Many hostages recounted long-term starvation, physical and psychological abuse and, in some cases, sexual abuse.

Despite an October ceasefire that has reduced fighting in Gaza, Israel has continued to carry out strikes, killing at least 1,375 people since the agreement took effect, according to local health officials.

The nearly three-year Israel-Hamas war has killed more than 73,789 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The ministry, part of the Hamas-run government, maintains detailed records viewed as generally reliable by U.N. agencies and international organizations. It does not distinguish between civilians and militants but says women and children make up about half the toll.

Sudan gold mine disaster kills dozens

BY YASIR ABDALLAH AND SAMY MAGDY

SHENDI, Sudan — The death toll from the collapse of an informal gold mine in a remote area of Sudan has risen to 82, according to local officials and activists, as rescuers struggled on Wednesday to search for the missing with limited equipment.

It's the latest tragedy in a nation mired in a devastating war.

Survivors said that the collapse happened at the Al-Zara gold mine, in Nuhud, a town in West Kordofan province, which is controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF. The group has been fighting against the Sudanese military for more than three years.

“We do not have the machinery to lift dirt and stones and search for survivors at depths of more than 30 meters [about 100 feet],” he said. “There were dozens of people working in the mine.”

The Al-Zara gold mine is one of thousands of small-scale and informal mines scattered across Sudan, which has been engulfed in a war that has at times pushed parts of the country into famine.

Despite Sudan's being a major gold producer, deadly mine collapses there aren't uncommon because safety standards aren't widely applied. A 2023 collapse killed 14 miners and one in 2021 claimed 38 lives.

Al-Amin Suliman, another survivor, said that 60 bodies had been recovered as of Wednesday morning.

"There are still people stuck inside," he said.

The Sudan Doctors Network, a medical group tracking the war in Sudan, reported earlier that 67 bodies were pulled from the rubble, predicting that the death toll could increase as rescuers continued their search. The group said that the mine — an informal site that employs unregulated workers — lacked basic safety and protective measures.

Earlier, survivors reached by phone and the physicians network said that the tragedy took place on Tuesday evening.

Large quantities of gold have been smuggled out of the country to finance the RSF, which controls gold-producing areas in the Darfur and Kordofan regions, according to experts commissioned by the United Nations.

Sudan plunged into an all-out war in April 2023.

Belarus releases prisoners to get sanctions lifted

the prisoners' release, but noted that many others remain in custody.

BY YURAS KARMANAU

TALLINN, Estonia — The U.S. special envoy for Belarus said Wednesday that the country's authorities have agreed to release 25 prisoners in exchange for the lifting of U.S. sanctions against two Belarusian companies.

John Coale, President Trump's special envoy for Belarus, made the statement a day after meeting Belarus' authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko, who pushed for the remaining U.S. sanctions against his country to be lifted.

“25 prisoners are free today!” Coale said on X, adding that “President Trump’s commitment to direct diplomacy delivers results.” He also thanked Lukashenko and authorities in Lithuania, a European Union member that neighbors Belarus, for their support.

"We will continue to improve U.S.-Belarus relations and are working to secure the release of more people in the very near future," Coale said. "We are not finished!"

Speaking to reporters in Minsk, Coale said as part of what he called “an interim deal” and “as a show of goodwill,” Belarus will release 25 people in exchange for the U.S. lifting sanctions on two Belarusian companies, Lakokraska and Bellesbumprom.

He added that further release of prisoners and the lifting of more sanctions will follow later after all details are agreed upon.

Belarusian authorities haven't announced any details of the prisoners' release yet.

Lukashenko has governed the nation of 9.5 million with an iron fist for more than three decades, and the country has been sanctioned repeatedly by Western countries — both for its crackdown on human rights and for allowing Moscow to use its territory to launch the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Since Trump returned to the White House for his second term, Lukashenko has released hundreds of political prisoners in a series of U.S.-mediated deals that also lifted some U.S. sanctions.

Belarusian opposition leader-in-exile Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya welcomed

“This is an important step, but only a step,” Tsikhanouskaya told the Associated Press. “Many political prisoners remain behind bars.”

For Lukashenko, “people are bargaining chips — something he can trade and then replace with new hostages,” she said, adding that “we have to break this vicious cycle of repression.”

Belarus still has 887 political prisoners, according to the Viasna human rights center.

Tsikhanouskaya, who met the freed prisoners in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, said the prisoners' release shouldn't be seen as a sign of political change in Belarus.

"Repressions are continuing," she said.

As part of a deal in March that Washington helped broker, Lukashenko ordered the release of 250 political prisoners, while the U.S. agreed to lift sanctions on two Belarusian state banks and the country's Finance Ministry, and to remove the top Belarusian potash producers from a sanctions list.

Another deal in April released prominent journalist Andrzej Poczobut in a swap with Poland that saw a total of 10 people freed.

Lukashenko's rule was challenged after a 2020 presidential election, when hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to protest a vote they viewed as rigged. In an ensuing crackdown, tens of thousands were detained, with many beaten by police. Prominent opposition figures fled the country or were imprisoned.

Five years after the mass demonstrations, Lukashenko won a seventh term last year in an election that the opposition called a farce.

Among the prisoners released Wednesday were media managers Andrei Aliaksandrau and Liudmila Chekina and journalists Dzmitry Navazhylau and Kiryl Pazniak.

Pavel Sapelka, a lawyer with the Viasna human rights center, said Belarusian authorities confiscated passports of some of those released in what he said amounted to “forced deportation.”

U.S. to restrict travel for officials from S. Africa

Suleiman Abu Hmeida, a member of the Emergency Response Rooms, said that rescuers pulled out 82 bodies by Wednesday afternoon. "But dozens remain unaccounted for."

The Emergency Response Rooms is a grassroots network that monitors the conflict and provides support for communities across war-torn Sudan.

A local administration official also said that 82 bodies were recovered.

The official said that the collapse began on Sunday in one of the mine shafts and spread to the other interconnected shafts. He said that only one privately owned forklift is available for the rescue efforts, complicating the search for survivors.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak to the media.

"The collapse is massive and the situation is very dire," Khairal-Sayed Gabara, one of the survivors, told the AP when reached by phone. He said that the machinery needed to remove the collapsed soil and rubble wasn't available.

Washington renews claim that contentious law is discriminatory toward whites.

BY GERALD IMRAY

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — The Trump administration has announced that it will impose travel bans on officials who it claims are responsible for discrimination against whites and other minority groups in South Africa.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that he would revoke U.S. visas or reject visa applications from foreign nationals found to be responsible for, or complicit in, enacting or enforcing laws and policies that allow for uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination and the incitement of violence against minority ethnic and racial groups in South Africa.

"The United States will not allow such behavior to go unchecked," Rubio said in a statement. "These actions directly undermine peace, economic stability, and the rule of law, and they are incompatible with the pillars of America's foreign policy."

The South African government has strongly rejected U.S. allegations of discrimination against whites, calling the claims made by the administration since President Trump returned to office last year baseless and a result of misinformation.

Rubio did not identify officials who would be targeted with the travel restrictions. Previously, a lobby group for minority whites in South Africa called for the United States to sanction officials of the African National Congress party, the party of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and the largest in South Africa's Parliament.

It's the latest move by the Trump administration to sanction South Africa over its claims that whites, and especially the Afrikaner group, are being discriminated against by their Black-led government. Afrikaners are descended from mainly Dutch and French colonial settlers who first came to South Africa in the 17th century. They were at the heart of South Africa's previous apartheid system of racial segregation.

There are approximately 4.5 million white people in South Africa's population of 62 million, which also includes whites with British or other heritage.

The U.S. has cited a contentious South African law that allows for the expropriation of unused private land without compensation in some circumstances, affirmative action policies that advance opportunities for Black citizens and others, and a small number of violent crimes against white farmers as evidence of a larger anti-white stance in South Africa.

The Trump administration has also strongly criticized South Africa's move to accuse U.S. ally Israel of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, in a highly emotive case at the United Nations' top court. Israel vehemently denies that allegation.

South African Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola said Wednesday that some of the domestic policies that the United States had branded as discriminatory were designed to address the injustices of apartheid and hundreds of years of colonial rule before that, when Black people were stripped of their rights.

“South Africa respects that the United States may hold differing views on certain policy measures and their implementation.... The people of South Africa likewise respect the right of the American people to develop legislation that addresses their own circumstances,” Lamola said in a statement. “We expect that the same respect will be accorded to the people of South Africa, as the principle of sovereignty requires.”

The U.S. has enforced a series of other sanctions against South Africa during Trump's second term for purported anti-white and anti-American policies. They include barring South African officials from meetings of the Group of 20 economic bloc this year in the U.S., and phasing out aid for South Africa's HIV treatment program.

The U.S. has also launched a refugee program for Afrikaners and other whites, claiming baselessly that they are victims of a humanitarian emergency in South Africa.

The U.S. says the sanctions are because South Africa has not changed its policies, and warned of more to follow.

“This visa restriction policy is only the first step in a series of escalatory measures that will show America’s firm resolve in this matter,” the official U.S. Ambassador to South Africa account posted on X, referring to Rubio’s visa announcement.

Political asylum seekers targeted for deportation

[Nicaragua, from A1] three years ago under a novel deal negotiated by the State Department.

As part of the 2023 agreement, Nicaragua freed 222 political prisoners and the U.S. hired a charter plane to fly them to Washington, where each person was granted temporary humanitarian parole and the chance to apply for asylum.

One of those former prisoners, Marlon Gerardo Sáenz Cruz, a former Sandinista who said he was tortured in Nicaragua after denouncing government corruption, was arrested during a regular check-in with immigration authorities in Los Angeles on Aug. 17.

Another, Denis Javier Palacios Hernández, who languished for three years in a Nicaraguan jail after participating in pro-democracy marches, was detained by immigration agents Wednesday morning in Virginia.

Human rights advocates say the effort to deport dissidents with no criminal record and a history of persecution puts their lives in danger and is at odds with U.S. foreign policy, which condemns human rights abuses and corruption under Murillo and Ortega, a former Marxist revolutionary who at 80 is now the longest-serving leader in the Americas.

After Ortega said in July that Nicaragua would scrap all future elections, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who had recently announced sweeping sanctions on dozens of Nicaraguan leaders, vowed consequences. This week, while celebrating the anniversary of Central America's independence from Spain, Rubio praised Nicaraguans for pushing for democracy “despite the Murillo-Ortega dictatorship’s brutal efforts to annihilate it.”

“Whether at home or in exile, Nicaraguans’ aspirations for a future free from tyranny cannot be canceled or erased,” Rubio said.

He spoke one day after Border Patrol agents arrested Galeano, who, since moving to Florida, has driven for ride-hailing apps in the mornings to provide for his two children and has spent his afternoons recording “Café con Voz,” his daily YouTube show.

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said Galeano was detained because he overstayed his tourist visa, which gave him permission to re-

NICARAGUA'S Daniel Ortega, shown in 2025, has cracked down on opposition leaders critical of his regime.

main in the U.S. only through 2019, and encouraged Galeano to self-deport. "Being in detention is a choice," the spokesperson said. "The United States is offering illegal aliens \$3,000 and a free flight to self-deport now."

In the past, people who had filed asylum applications in the U.S. were generally allowed to stay and work while they waited for a ruling in their case, a process that often stretches years because of backlogs in immigration court.

That has changed under President Trump, who has vowed to deport 1 million people annually, and who complains that the asylum system is abused and used as a back door for economic migrants falsely claiming persecution.

As immigration arrests in the U.S. have soared in recent months, surpassing 51,000 in August, asylum seekers and others who have shared their information with the U.S. in hopes of achieving legal status make up a growing share of detainees, according to the Deportation Data Project.

Removals of Nicaraguans have also surged, with deportation flights to Managua increasing more than fourfold under Trump compared with under President Biden, according to data tracked by Human Rights First.

Nicaraguans are also being shipped to Mexico, Costa Rica and as far away as the Central African Republic. They face unique risks in those countries, said Savi Arvey, director of policy for refugee and immigrant rights at Human Rights First.

In Costa Rica, Sandinista operatives are suspected in a series of shootings, abductions and killings of Nicaraguan exiles in recent years.

“This government is so single-minded in carrying out this vast mass deportation campaign that it blatantly ignores realities on the ground,” Arvey said.

Gerald Chávez, president of the Independent Journalists and Communicators of Nicaragua, said that at least one journalist who had sought protection in the U.S. had been sent to Costa Rica, avoiding deportation to Nicaragua thanks to a lengthy legal battle and help from Reporters Without Borders.

Restriction of press freedoms has been a cornerstone of Ortega and Murillo's efforts to concentrate power in recent years.

Hundreds of journalists fled as government officials jailed colleagues, shuttered dozens of news outlets and passed laws barring reporters from publishing information not authorized by the government. At one point, Ortega even banned newspapers from importing paper and ink.

Galeano — who previously worked as a correspondent for the Associated Press in Nicaragua — believed he had a responsibility to call out what he saw as injustices perpetrated by the government.

"If there is one thing that has distinguished the Sandinista thugs ... it is that up until now, they have enjoyed total impunity," he said on a recent episode of his YouTube show.

Galeano's arrest has drawn sharp criticism from human rights and press freedom groups and even Republican Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a Trump ally seeking reelection in Florida.

Salazar described Galeano as a journalist who had “paid a very high price for telling the world the truth.”

"The United States must always know how to distinguish between a criminal and a political exile," she wrote on X. "Luis cannot end up in the hands of the very dictatorship that persecuted him."

EU wants closer ties with Canada

[Canada, from A1]

address the Parliament on Thursday.

JEAN-CHRISTOPHE VERHAEGEN AFP/Getty Images CANADA'S Mark Carney, left, has called for a "unique alliance" with the EU.

A Canadian official familiar with the discussions said last week that Ottawa was exploring ties with the EU that could stop just short of membership. The official said Canada would seek an arrangement allowing its citizens to live and work in Europe without visas as part of a broader strategic partnership.

Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada's ambassador-designate to the EU, said Wednesday that Ottawa had discussed associate membership with European officials before Von der Leyen's speech and "knew that that was something that was on the table." He said Canada had talked to the EU about the Alliance for the Future, while European officials had raised associate membership.

Wilkinson said Canada is not seeking full EU membership because it would require surrendering some sovereignty. Instead, Ottawa wants “to get as close as we possibly can” to the bloc in a way that strengthens Canadian sovereignty rather than diminishes it, he said.

Carney's office welcomed Von der Leyen's proposal, saying Canada was deepening ties with the EU “to strengthen our sovereignty” and supported a move beyond CETA.

Von der Leyen said the expanded partnership would cover advanced manufacturing, technology, defense production, the Arctic, energy, critical minerals, batteries, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cybersecurity and economic security.

“This is a partnership not against anyone else, but for our common strength,” she said. “In short, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.”

Because Canada joining the EU as an associate member would be a first, there is no rule book on how that would work or what it would mean in practice. It is unclear who would need to approve membership, and how long that could take.

Wilkinson said Ottawa and Brussels are deliberately focusing first on the substance of the relationship rather than what to call it. "Before you actually get to the point where you decide what you're going to call something, you should actually know the shape," he said.

He said the shape is likely to become clearer at the Canada-EU summit in October, when the two sides expect to make an announcement and may settle on how to describe it.

Currently, all steps toward EU membership must be approved unanimously by the 27 member countries.

The idea of associate membership has been floated in the past for Ukraine, or for post-Brexit Britain, but no concrete steps have been taken.

The relationship between Canada and the European Union has reached a point where the two sides need to move beyond rhetoric and start building something more substantive, said Tobias Cremer, a German member of the European Parliament.

"Now is the time to stop sending each other love letters and put meat on the bone," said Cremer, from the center-left Social Democrats.

He argued that any new arrangement should be more ambitious than another trade or defense agreement, describing the goal as a more holistic strategic alliance between Canada and the EU.

Existing frameworks such as CETA could provide a foundation, Cremer said, but should be used more fully and expanded. The case for closer ties, he said, is increasingly being driven by geopolitics as much as economics.

The aim, he said, should ultimately be bigger than a bilateral arrangement — potentially positioning the EU as a convener of middle powers, an idea Carney has also raised.

Canada this year became the first non-European country to join the EU's \$173-billion SAFE defense program, giving Canadian companies access to joint procurement as Europe seeks to increase its defense readiness.

Iratxe García Pérez, president of the Socialists & Democrats group in the European Parliament, praised Carney for showing “great courage confronting Donald Trump” and said allies were needed to defend “sovereignty, solidarity and international law.”

Carney said Tuesday that economic integration, once viewed largely as an asset, is increasingly “being used as a weapon by certain countries.” Discussions will ramp up at the Canada-EU summit in late October, he said.

Canada has retaliated against U.S. tariffs and rejected trade terms Carney says would weaken its sovereignty.

The EU has taken a different course with Washington, reaching a trade agreement that set a 15% U.S. tariff ceiling on the vast majority of EU exports while Europe eliminated tariffs on U.S. industrial goods.

That contrast has loomed over Carney's push for closer European ties. In a closely watched speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January, he urged middle powers to work together to increase their leverage in an era of great-power rivalry.

"When we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness. We accept what is offered," Carney said.

“This is not sovereignty,” he added. “It is the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.”

Carney's Davos speech drew a personal rebuke from Trump, and Von der Leyen's overture to America's neighbor could raise the temperature again.

House votes for a third time to end the Iran war

HOUSE SPEAKER Mike Johnson (R-La.) decided to send lawmakers home Wednesday, earlier than planned.
Tom Williams CQ-Roll Call

By Lisa Mascaro

WASHINGTON — For a third time, the U.S. House has voted to end the war against Iran, approving a war powers resolution that would halt President Trump's ability to continue military action without congressional approval.

The roll call late Tuesday, 220-204, was similar to earlier efforts this summer, with a few more Republicans joining all Democrats voting to bring an end to the conflict. None of the resolutions have made it to the president's desk, where Trump would almost certainly veto the measure.

“Remember when Donald Trump said that this war would last just a few weeks?” said Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), who served as a Marine during the Iraq war and pushed the resolution forward.

He said it's time for Congress to “actually ask tough questions, as the Constitution directs us to do, rather than be subservient to another warmongering administration.”

Republican Rep. Brian Mast of Florida, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, questioned which military resources Democrats would want to remove from the region, where he said Iran remains a threat.

Mast said Trump is against “forever wars, and that is what he is ending”—the decades of hostilities from Iran.

"They are a continuous ongoing threat to the United States," Mast said. "Enough is enough."

The action is almost certainly the last House vote on the Iran war ahead of the midterm elections, where the conflict overseas is playing a substantial role in the political campaigns. The war that Trump launched Feb. 28 has dragged, with on-again, off-again deadly missile strikes being exchanged, and caused havoc in the region for nearly seven months.

ing. The budget office projected inflation will be 0.5 percentage points higher than expected heading into 2027 due to the war.

Tom Barrett of Michigan, Warren Davidson of Ohio, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky voting in favor of the war powers resolution, with all Democrats.

Congress has tried repeatedly to alter the trajectory of the war against Iran, but efforts to limit the Trump administration's military action remain a long shot so long as the president is able to fend off or veto the measures.

The House first approved a war powers resolution in June, and followed up with another one in July, all seeking to halt U.S. action in Iran. The Senate on its 10th try also approved a war powers resolution to end the conflict, but GOP senators quickly reversed course the next day after Trump berated them during a closed-door lunch.

Although the Constitution gives Congress the authority to declare war, it also gives the president authority as the commander in chief to engage in some military actions.

The War Powers Act, created in the aftermath of the Vietnam conflict, sought to put a more specific time limit on the president's power, requiring congressional approval for sustained military actions after 60 or 90 days.

BY MIKE CATALINI

The Trump administration has cut or frozen up to \$177 billion in federal grants since the president took office for his second term, according to a tracking tool released Wednesday by a pro-democracy nonprofit and a group of researchers and scientists.

The cuts affected all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with health, nutrition, the environment and disaster relief making up the largest share of cuts, the States United Democracy Center and Grant Witness organization found.

Among the grants that were eliminated, frozen or delayed were ones related to maternal health in Michigan, education research in Mississippi and assistance to minority farmers in Iowa, the researchers found. California, Texas, New York, Illinois and North Carolina saw the highest amounts of interrupted grant money. The tracking tool is called Lost

Funds.

“By bringing thousands of funding disruptions from the Trump administration together in a publicly accessible, verified database, Lost Funds puts the magnitude of their impact on full display,” Scott Delaney, co-founder of Grant Witness, said in a statement.

The \$177 billion finding represents nearly 10% of federal discretionary spending, the groups said.

The tracker's organizers said the disrupted grants were beyond the kind of cuts that typically happen when administrations change.

“Lost Funds shows the extraordinary scale and real human impact of these disruptions, and how states are once again on the front lines protecting their residents,” said Kelly Rader, States United Democracy Center’s research director.

In some cases, courts have ruled against the administration's grant funding cuts.

The new tool, which is being made available for public use, relies on data from USASpending.gov, an open data source of federal spending information, according to the groups' methodology. They said the tracker would be updated regularly as the administration takes new action and lawsuits move through the courts.

States United bills itself as a nonpartisan group dedicated to the rule of law and free, fair, secure elections. It was co-founded by Norm Eisen, an attorney who has been involved in prominent lawsuits against the Trump administration, including over the Kennedy Center. Eisen left States United in 2021.

Grant Witness is a group of scientists, researchers and attorneys who document how funding is changing under President Trump's administration.

A message seeking comment on the analysis was sent to the White House.

Speaker Mike Johnson sent lawmakers home Wednesday with less than 50 days to go before the elections that will determine control of Congress as Democrats try to wrest power from Republicans.

In the previous House actions, four Republicans voted to halt the war in Iran, but that number rose to seven in Tuesday's war powers vote, including GOP lawmakers from battleground Iowa, Rep. Zachary Nunn and Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, and retiring Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina.

Trump himself had promised not to involve the U.S. in foreign wars when he won a second term in the White House, and his actions against Iran are weighing on the Republican Party, which controls the House and Senate. Most Americans say the war in Iran has not been worth fighting, according to an AP-NORC poll in July.

The Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday that the war has cost more than \$38 billion, as of Aug. 1, and is projected to be costing between \$2 billion and \$3 billion monthly, depending on the intensity of the fight-

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — An Islamic State group member was sentenced Wednesday to 20 years in prison for aiding the terrorist organization that took credit for a suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members and about 160 Afghans at the Kabul airport five years ago during the American military's chaotic withdrawal from the country.

Johnson acknowledged at a news conference Tuesday the need to bring gas prices down.

A federal jury in Virginia had convicted Mohammad Sharifullah in April of providing material support to the Islamic State affiliate known as ISIS-K. But jurors could not agree whether he bore some responsibility for the airport bombing on Aug. 26, 2021.

Abbey Gate attack, a theory which it was unable to prove at trial," defense attorneys wrote.

Jurors convicted Sharifullah of providing material support to ISIS-K. They deadlocked on whether any deaths at the airport “resulted from” that conspiracy. Sharifullah could have faced a possible life sentence if the jury had unanimously decided that question.

Trenga heard victim impact statements from several parents of U.S. service members. From a lectern only a few feet from where Sharifullah sat, they took turns paying tribute to their children's sacrifices and describing how the attack has shattered their families.

Mark Schmitz of Missouri asked Sharifullah to turn and look at him as he spoke about the life and death of his 20-year-old son, Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz.

"He was brought here because the government believed he participated in the

U.S. troops were conducting an evacuation operation at the airport when a lone suicide bomber detonated an improvised explosive device near an entry point known as Abbey Gate. Sharifullah's role in the attack was scouting a route to Hamid Karzai International Airport, prosecutors said.

According to prosecutors, Sharifullah told a journalist that he wanted to "catch and kill the crusaders" from the U.S. for invading his country after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. They said Sharifullah was involved in dozens of other attacks, including a March 2024 assault on a Moscow concert hall that killed roughly 140 people.

Sharifullah received the maximum sentence for his one-count conviction in an international terrorism case that President Trump heralded last year during a speech to a joint session of

But the Republican speaker said he believes the Iran conflict is entering a “new phase” as allies step up to help stabilize the region. When that happens, he said, “you’re going to see, as the president said, anytime gas prices will go down again, the cost of groceries will as well.”

Sharifullah did not testify at his trial and declined to address the court before U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga imposed the sentence. The judge said the defendant was a “dedicated terrorist” who expressed no remorse for the “unfathomable” grief and suffering that he had caused.

“They may have taken his life, but they’ll never take his legacy,” Schmitz said. “A bomb killed my son. It did not kill what he stood for.”

Sharifullah requested a 17-year prison sentence, while prosecutors sought 20 years. His lawyers say he was never an ISIS-K leader and has not been convicted of any conduct related to the airport suicide bombing.

Johnson said Trump expects the shift after the election, and the speaker added, "I'd love it to happen today."

Defense lawyers argued that prosecutors failed to present any evidence tying Sharifullah to the Kabul bombing besides his own words during hours of FBI questioning.

A review by U.S. Central Command found that the Abbey Gate bomber was Abdul Rahman al-Logari, an Islamic State member who had been released from an Afghan prison by the Taliban.

Search for answers in fatal helicopter crash

[Chatsworth, from A1] before it crashed.

THE CAUSE of the helicopter crash was unclear. An investigator said the answers may be found in the aircraft's final recorded footage.
KAYLA BARTKOWSKI Los Angeles Times

The footage shows an aerial view of the bus crash with the whirl of the helicopter in the background. Suddenly, the sound of the engine's motor winds down and a horn blares, possibly warning the pilot that the main rotor speed had dropped too low or the helicopter had lost hydraulics. Moreno responds to the noise with a quiet "uh oh."

The angle of the camera begins to descend and Moreno is heard asking, "You can't pull up?" before the video cuts out. Moreno, Marciniw and 29-year-old Edy Gutierrez Mejia, who was on the ground when the chopper went down around 7 p.m., were killed.

“That video is probably the most important piece of evidence we have recovered so far,” Salazar said.

Aviation experts told The Times the crash might be the result of a mechanical failure with the 22-year-old aircraft, a common helicopter for news and law enforcement organizations because of its general reliability.

Zoey Tur, a veteran news helicopter pilot who operated the type of helicopter the NBC4 crew was flying, said the sound the microphone picked up was of the engine shutting down.

“First, the engine starts winding down, which in turn reduces power to the rotor blades. Then you hear the horn warning of low rotor RPM. You can even hear the blade slap slow down,” Tur said.

But, Tur pointed out, the fire that resulted when the copter crashed indicated there was still fuel onboard, so the engines probably shut down for another reason.

When a helicopter's rotors stop rotating, there's a safety maneuver known as autorotation in which the pilot can try to gain enough momentum and upward flow on the rotor blades to increase their rotation, which helps control the aircraft as it descends, said Jack Cress, a former helicopter pilot for the U.S. Marine Corps and a helicopter accident investigation instructor at USC's Aviation Safety and Security Program.

Cress compared the maneuver to a fixed-wing airplane gliding through the air with the force generated by its wings but, in this case, the helicopter would use the upward force on its rotors caused by descending, or moving forward, to make the rotors turn fast enough to keep the craft in relative con-

trol.

But Cress said the fact that the helicopter appeared to be hovering in the air, and at a low altitude, would make it difficult for the pilot to execute the maneuver.

“In this case, he’s in the worst part of the height-velocity curve,” Cress said, referring to a chart used by helicopter pilots that tracks height and airspeed for safe flight conditions. “That is a dangerous place to be.”

Helicopter pilots are trained to stay away from those conditions, Cress said, because the lack of altitude and forward momentum gives pilots little recourse if there is engine trouble. But for news helicopters and police choppers, hovering and maintaining low altitude is a common practice, he said.

Those conditions of hovering in the air, with little altitude and no momentum, are commonly referred to by helicopter pilots as a “dead man's curve," said Jeff Guzzetti, a former NTSB and FAA investigator who is also an instructor with USC's Aviation Safety and Security Program.

“That’s the worst place to be if you have a problem,” Guzzetti said.

The helicopter was owned by Tiny Bubbles Aviation Inc., a holding company with a business address listed at Whiteman Airport in Pacoima, according to state and FAA records. The company is listed as the owner of at least six aircraft, including five helicopters.

Lawrence Welk, who is listed in public records as an agent of Tiny Bubbles Aviation, is also president of Welk Aviation, a company that according to its website owns and operates news helicopters for KNBC and KTLA.

In a brief phone call Wednesday, Welk confirmed to The Times that the company was working with investigators, but declined to comment on the incident.

"I just got back from the accident scene," Welk said.

The bus crash brought an army of first responders and news media to the area, including TV news choppers flying overhead. Residents gathered around the bus to figure out what was going on.

Then, everyone heard an explosion and saw a fireball rising a few blocks away. Many ran to that scene, where a fire was raging. Firefighters tried to battle the blaze while police pushed back the public and reporters. There were rumors immediately that a news chopper had crashed.

NBC4 anchor Colleen Williams told viewers the station had lost contact with its chopper crew. Around 9 p.m., she confirmed the NBC4 team had crashed.

The helicopter went down between two commercial buildings in the 9100 block of Mason Avenue, smashing into a pair of truck cargo containers.

The situation thrust the team at NBC4 into a journalist's nightmare — a tragedy where reporters become part of the story.

“They were sacrificing their lives in service of their community,” NBC morning anchor Lynette Romero told viewers, with her co-anchors by her side. “They were determined and dedicated until the very end doing the job they loved so much. Our hearts are heavy this morning but we are here with you, we are here for you as we try to navigate these tragedies together.”

On Wednesday, authorities announced they had arrested Bailee Lynn Rios, who they said was driving the SUV that slammed into the bus, on suspicion of murder.

Rios, 36, is being held in lieu of \$4 million bail, according to jail records.

Los Angeles police said Rios was driving a gray 2004 Ford Expedition around 5 p.m. Tuesday southbound in the northbound lanes on De Soto Avenue when she ran a red light at Nordhoff Street. The SUV narrowly avoided a car driving through the intersection before crashing into the side of the Metro Line 166 bus.

The crash ejected one passenger from the bus and partially ejected a second person, according to police. Two passengers, identified as 31-year-old Gage Weida and 46-year-old Daniel Castillo of Arleta, died at the scene.

One passenger who suffered severe injuries and five others with non-life-threatening injuries were taken to hospitals.

The chain of events left residents shaken. "Anybody could be gone in a minute, you know?" Winnetka resident Michael Sanchez, a physical therapist, said.

LAUSD faces tough choices on fates of campuses

ALLEN J. SCHABEN Los Angeles Times STUDENTS pass by a mural at Barack Obama Global Prep Academy in August.

[Schools, from A1]

mandie Avenue Elementary and 107th Street Elementary — both in South L.A. — and Narbonne High School in the Harbor area.

Ultimately, the current and upcoming projects that were set in motion to address seismic safety are anticipated to cost more than \$2 billion.

The imperative to close all or portions of campuses potentially competes with the concurrent high priority of providing students with safe, up-to-date, fully resourced and inviting education environments.

The dilemma was partly captured in questions posed Tuesday by school board members Nick Melvoin and Rocio Rivas.

Melvoin wanted reassurance that the district would remain eligible for state seismic construction funding — which can pay for all or parts of school projects — if it went ahead with projects before having state approval.

Chief Facilities Executive Krisztina Tokes could offer no such assurance, advising the board that state earthquake mitigation funds are underfunded and oversubscribed.

Melvoin also was curious about how much flexibility the district would have to rethink or cancel projects based on state funding decisions or decisions related to school closures or consolidations.

Tokes said projects could return to the board at a later stage, but made it clear that money will be spent when the board approves projects.

Rivas wanted reassurance that district staff had made sure that these projects are the right ones to undertake.

"All four of these schools exceed that average elementary school school size, which is why we're comfortable bringing them forward," Tokes responded. "These schools, the enrollment ranges from 500 to over 700."

Tokes added: “And then we have close conversations with the regions, with the principal and administration, making sure that when we are building projects here, that we are inclusive of whatever the programmatic needs are of that school.”

Given the years-long time frames needed for construction projects, the district facilities team doesn't want to delay upgrading facilities that students would immediately benefit from. One recent example is the ongoing construction for three schools destroyed or significantly damaged by the 2025 Palisades fire, using bond funds while also seeking insurance dollars and

federal aid.

The district is also moving quickly to address the risk posed by the so-called lift-slab construction style of many school buildings erected in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

One option would be not to rebuild some of these schools at all — given the district's excess capacity.

But the district does not have a current plan about which campuses it will close.

In its plans to spend billions in bond funds, district officials “have not published reports which inform taxpayers ... what enrollment assumptions were used, or what campus consolidations, if any, were contemplated,” said Maria Luisa Palma, a community activist whose son recently graduated from a district school. “Without those plans in hand, the public is unable to evaluate if LAUSD is utilizing voter-approved bond funds prudently and hold them accountable."

Board member Tanya Ortiz Franklin said the issue is valid. “I was similarly concerned about rebuilding while also downsizing when we first started these discussions about a year ago,” she said.

But she's been persuaded about the appropriateness of projects approved so far.

"I'm confident that we're finding the right balance between high-priority safety upgrades, ongoing community engagement and long-term rightsizing," she said.

Officials noted that, on balance, the reconstruction is reducing student capacity at these schools, which also allows for more open space and recreation areas.

Since peaking at more than 720,000 K-12 students in 2003, L.A. Unified has lost about 2.3% annually — with the exception of steeper drops during the pandemic and since the start of the second Trump administration in 2025, according to data from the state Department of Education.

system that employed about 83,000 last year.

The state numbers for last year show a districtwide decline of 4.6%, with no numbers yet available for this year.

The district's numbers are somewhat different because the counting methods and counting dates are not identical. They indicate an enrollment drop of $3.4\%$ last year, which is the rate of decline that the district anticipated for this year. Instead, the figure is $4.3\%$ through week five of the school year.

According to state data from last year, ultra-small elementary schools include Glen Alta in Montecito Heights, 55 students; Ann Street in Chinatown, 71; Annandale in Eagle Rock, 78; and Hillside in Lincoln Heights, 96. Wright Middle School in Westchester is down to 435 students. Crenshaw High, in Hyde Park, is at 423 students.

Chief Financial Officer Saman Bravo-Karimi on Tuesday estimated that the steeper-than-expected enrollment decline has added a \$60-million hurdle to this year's budget problems. It's still just a fraction of an \$18.4-billion spending plan this year — which is balanced against \$16.8 billion in revenue. The deficit is being made up for with reserves.

Bravo-Karimi estimated that, based on current guaranteed revenue, the nation's second-largest school system can remain solvent for about two more years after the current academic year. His figures already take into account job cuts over the next three years that are expected to surpass 6,000 in a

Developments elsewhere could make the picture better or worse.

The California Teachers Assn. on Tuesday filed a lawsuit over the state's withholding of nearly \$6 billion in funding set aside for schools under state funding laws in the 2025-26 and 2024-25 school years. Of that total, \$1.9 billion was paid a year later, but the union wants the court to declare the delay — and thus future delays — to be unconstitutional.

As the state's largest school system, L.A. Unified would benefit mightily from such funds — to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, but that infusion would not solve the district's financial problems or remedy the enrollment decline.

And even without the litigation, state funding typically rises every year.

At the other extreme, if state voters fail to approve Proposition 3, the proposed permanent extension of an additional state income tax on high earners, L.A. Unified would stand to lose hundreds of millions a year.

The pitch from Chait and Bravo-Karimi is that district downsizing is about making academic programs stronger rather than saving money.

Chait noted at Tuesday's meeting that small elementary schools result in grades being combined and that small high schools have fewer course options for students.

“Los Angeles Unified serves fewer than 400,000 students today, compared with more than 700,000 when I was a principal,” Chait said in his email. “At the same time, we continue to operate nearly the same number of school campuses.”

DHS voter probe may be illegal, whistleblower says

cess their state voter records.

By Ali Swenson

NEW YORK — A last-ditch Trump administration effort to hunt for noncitizen voters ahead of November's elections is requiring federal employees to misrepresent themselves on voter lookup tools in a way that probably violates state laws, according to a whistleblower's statement released Monday.

The Department of Homeland Security probe known as the “Unlawful Voter Initiative” also asks employees to create federal law enforcement records about voters based on unreliable data, the account warns. That could wrongly implicate U.S. citizens in official documentation that could spur further investigation.

The anonymous, nearly 30-page disclosure was published Monday by Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California, the ranking member of a Senate committee overseeing federal elections.

It features screenshots and transcripts of a Homeland Security training for a group of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services staffers, who it says were forced in late August to drop their other work, complete a less than two-hour training session and begin running Homeland Security-provided lists of individuals through state voter registration systems to find “unlawful voters.”

The whistleblower contends that agents have been asked to review 40 individuals per day, giving them about 12 minutes to determine whether each is a legal voter and create federal records of anyone who is not.

Padilla and Schumer said Monday the initiative was an example of President Trump attempting to interfere in elections and the short timelines would impede officials from conducting proper investigations. They noted that the data Homeland Security has on voters can be unreliable and differ from state records, making any federal findings based on that data potentially problematic.

“We just got more proof of Trump’s vile schemes to rig our elections,” Schumer told reporters in a news conference. “The lengths Trump will go to cheat, lie and steal in this upcoming election are simply beyond the pale.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Trump administration has been targeting non-citizen voting to allege it could be a source of significant fraud during the midterm elections, even as research shows voting by people who are not citizens is extremely rare. Trump has been pushing for the U.S. Postal Service to send mail ballots only to voters verified as U.S. citizens, and his Justice Department has sued to force the release of detailed voter data in 30 states and the District of Columbia, though it has not yet succeeded in those cases.

The whistleblower report details an effort by the federal government to work around a lack of data from the states by directing Citizenship and Immigration Services employees to pose as individual voters to ac-

RUSTY JONES Associated Press
HOMELAND SECURITY'S inquiry could wrongly implicate U.S. citizens, a whistleblower report claims.

Some states, such as Virginia, explicitly limit their voter lookup tools to individuals who attest under penalty of law that they are looking up their own records. In other states, like California, personally identifiable information such as a driver's license number or partial Social Security number is needed to look up individual voter records.

The whistleblower said that when officers raised concerns about liability for searching the tools against state guidance, agency leaders told them to proceed with the searches anyway.

Schumer and Padilla on Sunday sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin requesting more information about the initiative and demanding that it be stopped.

Asked about the whistleblower report, a Homeland Security spokesperson said it is “laser focused on prosecuting and removing aliens who vote and preventing the dilution of the votes of U.S. citizens.”

"The department accessed publicly available data from states' voter rolls and cross referenced them with known aliens in our systems," the spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "It's not rocket science; it's an easy step to secure our elections."

In response to complaints about the timing, limited training and quotas for agents, the spokesperson said that “far from being rushed or untrained, these investigative efforts are conducted diligently and professionally.”

The New York Times first reported on the Homeland Security initiative in early September.

The whistleblower account released Monday was produced by the watchdog group Democracy Defenders Fund. The group, which said it represents the whistleblower as a client, said the person is anonymous because of “an extreme fear of retaliation but they feel an obligation to speak up about the misconduct and gross mismanagement they have witnessed.”

Kirk's family says security failures led to his killing

bag checks or metal detectors.

BY HANNAH SCHOENBAUM AND MATTHEW BROWN

SALT LAKE CITY — Charlie Kirk's family blamed Utah officials for failing to prevent the conservative activist's killing at a state university, in a wrongful death notice announced Wednesday that presages a possible lawsuit.

Attorneys for the family said Kirk's death resulted from a string of "reckless decisions" by officials at Utah Valley University that left him exposed to a rooftop sniper, who fired a fatal shot from more than 400 feet away on Sept. 10, 2025.

The university has faced harsh criticism for a lack of key safety measures on the day of the shooting.

Kirk, 31, had been debating students in an outdoor courtyard surrounded by tall buildings and with several thousand people in attendance. An Associated Press review following the shooting showed the campus in Orem did not use several public safety practices that have become standard safeguards at events around the country.

Campus police staffing was far below recommended levels for a school of that size. They also did not fly a drone to monitor rooftops or coordinate with local law enforcement to secure the event attended by about 3,000 people. There were no

"The risk of a rooftop shooter should have been especially top-of-mind given the attempted assassination of President Trump, Charlie Kirk's close friend and political ally, by a rooftop shooter the previous year," Kirk family attorney D. Loren Washburn wrote in the notice to state and university officials.

The document, dated Sept. 9, a day before the anniversary of Kirk's death, is a required step under state law before his family can file a formal claim or lawsuit. It names the university and its then-president, Astrid Tuminez; the campus police department and its chief, Jeffrey Long; and the state of Utah.

A spokesperson for Utah Valley University said the school was aware of the notice and would address it “consistent with our established processes.”

The Utah Attorney General's Office said it does not comment on potential litigation.

Attorneys for Kirk's family alleged additional lapses by officials, including not conducting an adequate risk assessment before approving the event, failing to establish a secure perimeter and having no first responders immediately available, resulting in Kirk being taken to a nearby hospital in a private vehicle rather than an ambulance after he was

shot.

“Tragically, the UVU Parties took none of these safety measures — steps only they had the authority to take — resulting in a situation that rendered Mr. Kirk helpless before his assassin,” Washburn wrote.

Long said after the shooting that six of his officers staffed the event and coordinated with Kirk's eight-person private security team. The school said it was expanding its police force following the shooting.

Utah resident Tyler Robinson turned himself in a day after Kirk's killing. Prosecutors say he told his romantic partner that he "had enough of his [Kirk's] hatred."

Robinson is charged with aggravated murder, making him eligible for the death penalty if convicted. A judge on Sept. 1 ordered the case to proceed toward trial. A date has not yet been set.

Prosecutors during a preliminary hearing in July presented what they characterized as overwhelming evidence against Robinson. That includes surveillance video of Robinson on the campus and a handwritten note he allegedly left for his romantic partner that read, "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I took it."

New lawsuits demand return of art

[Art, from A1]

Camille Pissarro. The painting is now worth millions. Her grandson Claude Cassirer, who moved to California, and great-grandson David Cassirer have been fighting for the painting's return from the Thyssen-Borne-misza Collection in Madrid for the last two decades.

Amid that battle, California lawmakers rewrote state law to make clear that in situations where it and another jurisdiction's law on looted artwork are in conflict, California law applies and requires the return of the art to its original owners regardless of the passage of time.

In an unusual moment of bipartisanship, Congress followed up by passing its own measure — the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2025 — to further bolster such family claims.

The two new lawsuits — neither of which provide a valuation for the artwork in question — were filed just ahead of a deadline under the California law for claims to artwork with long-known locations.

David Cassirer said his father would be “extremely proud” to know a California law passed in part in response to his family’s fight has also given other families another chance “to vindicate their ancestors’ artistic legacies.”

Michele Babbitt Kane, of Ben Lomond, Calif., and Karin Wendy Babbitt, of Las Vegas, say in their lawsuit that Mengele demanded their mother produce the seven watercolors in question — each depicting a Roma prisoner later murdered — to support his “pseudo-scientific” and racist work studying the Roma people. Known as the “Angel of Death,” Mengele conducted gruesome medical experiments on Auschwitz prisoners.

They said their mother obliged “with deep sympathy for her subjects,” on the condition Mengele “spare her and her mother from the gas chambers.”

After liberation, the lawsuit says, their mother moved to California and worked for nearly 20 years as an animation assistant for Hollywood studios such as MGM and Warner Bros., where she contributed to familiar cartoon characters such as Wile E. Coyote, Tweety, Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales.

They say theirs is exactly the sort of case California's new law was enacted to allow

Auschwitz watercolors

— involving “a California family seeking the return of watercolors created by their Jewish mother under Nazi coercion at Auschwitz and withheld by a Polish state museum for decades despite the Museum’s own repeated acknowledgments of the family’s rights.”

Paweł Sawicki, a spokesperson for the Auschwitz Memorial, said in a statement to The Times that the Babbitt paintings “must remain in the Memorial as part of the documentation of the crimes of Mengele,” and that many in the Roma community agree.

“We fully understand the emotional approach of Dina Gottliebova's family to the works she made on the orders of Josef Mengele in circumstances that certainly affected her life, but in carrying out our statutory responsibility, we express the deep conviction that the watercolors should remain at the Memorial,” Sawicki said. “The portraits of Roma victims are the few remaining fragments of the documentation made by Mengele as part of his criminal experiments. Therefore, they should be treated as unique documents related to the history of Auschwitz.”

'Adam and Eve' diptych

According to the Jewish Federation's lawsuit, the "Adam and Eve" paintings were part of a vast collection seized from prominent Dutch Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker by Hermann Göring, Adolf Hitler's second-in-command. The collection was later recovered by Allied forces and given to the Dutch government, with the diptych being sold to the Norton Simon in 1971.

The lawsuit says Marei von Saher, Goudstikker's surviving heir, has long sought the return of the Goudstikker collection, and years ago was successful in forcing the Dutch government to return 200 pieces still in its possession. She first demanded the “Adam and Eve” paintings from the Norton Simon in 2000.

The new lawsuit says Von Saher on Monday signed her claimed rights to the paintings over to Gryczman and the Jewish Federation, which said in a statement that they will use a majority of any proceeds from the return of the paintings to “care for Los Angeles-area Holocaust survivors living in poverty.”

Von Saher's daughter, Charlène von Saher, said in an interview that her family gave the painting rights to the Jewish Federation because of that shared mission. She said she wishes California and Congress had acted sooner but hopes a win now will help other Jewish families reclaim what is rightfully theirs. "My grandfather lost his life fleeing the Nazi invasion, and many of his family members were sent to Auschwitz and did not survive," she said. "Victory would be justice, and a piece of the puzzle to restoring my grandfather's legacy and his collection."

The Norton Simon Art Foundation said in a statement to The Times that it was reviewing the new lawsuit, but that various courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, have over decades of litigation confirmed that the foundation “has proper title” to the diptych paintings, and the foundation “will continue to make these important artworks accessible to the public.”

The Pissarro painting

The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection and the Kingdom of Spain, which owns it, have fought the Cassirer family's claims to the Pissarro painting since Claude Cassirer, now deceased, first sued for its return in 2005. Spain has argued the painting was legally obtained by the collection prior to its 1993 sale to the country by Baron Hans Heinrich von Thyssen-Bornemisza, a prolific art collector whose wealthy industrialist family helped finance Hitler's rise.

The matter has repeatedly wound its way through the U.S. courts, including to the Supreme Court, which remanded the case to the lower courts for additional review in light of California's new law. A hearing is set for next month.

The museum has contended the law is unconstitutional, which California is contesting. David Cassirer has argued the law clearly requires the museum to return the painting — and has pledged to support other looting victims with any proceeds.

He said California and Congress “acted decisively to guarantee that stolen art victims, and victims of political persecution in particular, can have a fair shot to recover family legacies the Nazis ruthlessly tried to destroy,” and that “the momentum at all levels of government in favor of restitution is very encouraging.”

A call for improved postpartum care

By Leah Willingham

BOSTON — New parents in Massachusetts should receive better support and postpartum care, Gov. Maura Healey said Tuesday, after the high-profile murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, who, her attorneys argued, was suffering from unresolved postpartum psychosis when she killed her three children in 2023.

Healey proposed providing free home visits by nurses to all parents with newborns as well as updated regulations governing mental health screening of new mothers.

"To every mom who has struggled with her mental health before, during or after pregnancy, I want you to know we see you — I see you," Healey said during a visit to Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

“We need to talk more openly about this,” said Healey, who signed a maternal health law in 2024 that expanded access to doulas, midwives and birth centers, and required insurers to cover postpartum depression screenings.

Attorneys for Clancy argued the Massachusetts mother could not be held criminally responsible for killing her children because of postpartum psychosis, while prosecutors said evidence indicated she knew what she was doing was wrong.

A mistrial was declared when jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict.

Healey, a Democrat, said she plans to ask state lawmakers to approve \$2 million for a program aimed at offering home visits to all families welcoming the roughly 68,000 newborns in Massachusetts each year. No families would be required to participate, but those that did could have a nurse visit and answer questions about feeding, sleep and caring for a new baby. The nurse would also monitor mothers' postpartum health, as well as screen for depression and other mental concerns.

This would be the first state investment in a federally funded program that currently provides nurse visits to about 3,000 families each year, Healey said.

Healey also proposed a \$250,000 investment in the Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Program for Moms.

Sumatran tiger cubs offer glimmer of hope

Three born at a zoo near Athens are part of an effort to keep the critically endangered species from extinction

BY DEREK GATOPOULOS AND THANASSIS STAVRAKIS REPORTING FROM SPATA, GREECE

The world's most endangered tigers have started a family in Greece, offering hope for a predator rapidly vanishing from the wild.

Three 2-month-old Sumatran tiger cubs have received identification microchips and their first vaccinations at a zoo near Athens, as part of a global effort to build a backup population.

The Sumatran tiger, classified as critically endangered, is found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, which is slightly larger than Sweden.

As few as 400 are believed to remain in the wild, mainly because of aggressive forest clearing. The species joins the South China tiger and the Malayan tiger in the category of severe risk.

"The Sumatran tiger is one of the most threatened tiger species in the world, and among felines in general," said Theodoros Babilis, head keeper of cats and monkeys at Attica Zoological Park.

Zoos in Europe and elsewhere are maintaining a safety population, he said, “so that in the future there can be potential reintroductions of this species into the wild.”

The Sumatran tiger is the smallest tiger species in the world, but males can still grow up to 8.4 feet long and weigh as much as 300 pounds.

Skilled swimmers and climbers, they use their dark stripes — unique to each animal, like a fingerprint — to hide in the dense forest as they hunt deer, wild pigs and smaller mammals.

Even at 2 months old, Babilis said, the cubs have already developed sharp claws and teeth that make handling them a challenge.

The cubs were born in early July to Toba, their mother, and Argos, their father, who has since died of cancer. The surviving cubs are expected to take names from characters in Homer's “The Odyssey,” zoo staff said.

Two males and one female, the cubs were restless during vaccinations. Veterinary staff needed help to complete the procedure, ferrying the animals back and forth in carriers on electric buggies.

Caring for the animals is demanding work, said Dr. Arsenoi Psaroudaki, a zoo and wildlife veterinarian.

"The tigers don't like to be handled. They're very wild," she said, explaining that staff have to work quickly to limit stress.

The cubs received microchips logged in a shared database, plus a vaccine similar to one commonly given to cats that protects against three diseases.

For Psaroudaki, the work is also rewarding because it offers “some hope for safeguarding these really rare cats.”

She added: "It's very humbling to be able to work with the rarest tiger species in the world."

Promising results in lung cancer drug trial

By Sonja Wind

BioNTech said its experimental drug gotistobart nearly doubled the median survival of patients with an aggressive form of lung cancer compared with chemotherapy.

Patients treated with gotistobart lived for a median 18.5 months, compared with 10 months for those given the standard-of-care chemotherapy, BioNTech said in a release this week. The updated results are from a late-stage study evaluating patients with metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer whose disease progressed when they were undergoing prior immunotherapy and chemotherapy.

Earlier data showed that gotistobart reduced the risk of death by 54% compared with chemotherapy, though median overall survival wasn't reached at the time.

“Current survival expectations with established therapies remain less than a year, and despite numerous development efforts, chemotherapy has remained the standard of care in this setting for more than a decade,” said Rama Balaraman, a principal investigator in the trial and a medical oncologist.

If the survival benefit is confirmed in the next leg of the late-stage study, the drug could provide a chemotherapy-free option and “transform the standard of care” for these patients, Balaraman added.

The results bolster BioNTech's efforts to bring multiple cancer medicines to market by 2030 as sales of its COVID-19 vaccine decline.

The company suffered a set-back last month when it abandoned a study for a personalized vaccine for colorectal cancer patients. Hopes for the mRNA treatment had been raised by the success of rival drugmakers Moderna Inc. and Merck & Co. with a treatment of the same class for melanoma.

For gotistobart, BioNTech is collaborating with U.S. company OncoC4. The drug is designed to help the immune system attack cancer by removing cells that help tumors evade the body's defenses. BioNTech said the safety profile of the drug was "consistent with previously reported data and remained manageable."

Chile has eliminated dog-to-human rabies

By Nayara Batschke

SANTIAGO, Chile — Chile has become the first country in South America to eliminate dog-transmitted rabies to humans, following more than five decades of public health “prevention and surveillance,” the World Health Organization said Monday.

The WHO said the last reported case of dog-to-human rabies occurred in 1972.

“This validation reflects decades of commitment to protecting communities from rabies and demonstrates the impact of sustained investment in public health,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement. “Chile’s success offers valuable lessons for countries working to end human deaths caused by this preventable disease.”

Rabies spreads through the saliva of an infected animal, usually through a bite. However, the virus can also infect someone if saliva enters the eyes, nose or mouth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Rabies is almost always fatal once the initial symptoms appear, but it can be prevented through vaccination, effective surveillance and prompt access to post-exposure prophylaxis.

Chile has long maintained a public health policy focused on prevention and surveillance to combat the disease. Efforts include extensive vaccination campaigns for pets and vaccines for people who may have been exposed to the virus, WHO said.

"These actions were complemented by door-to-door dog vaccination campaigns, specific measures for managing the dog population, and community awareness

Think you need an Alzheimer's test? Focus on this instead

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD

WASHINGTON — New blood tests that might predict Alzheimer's years before symptoms begin may sound tantalizing for people who worry about later-in-life dementia. But doctors say they aren't quite ready yet — and besides, you can lower your risk without a test.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared four blood tests to help doctors diagnose whether Alzheimer's — not another kind of dementia or something else — is behind someone's memory problems or other cognitive symptoms. Some laboratories and online services offer their own tests. Faster diagnosis can help people with early-stage Alzheimer's qualify for drugs that can modestly slow the worsening of their symptoms.

Yet dementia specialists say people without symptoms also are seeking these tests, even though they're neither approved nor recommended for them.

For now, “the worried well should not be getting those tests” outside of a research study, stressed testing expert Nicholas Ashton of Arizona’s Banner Health.

Instead, people should focus on potentially preventable brain risks. One large study found people who reached middle age without high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking lived dementia-free for a lot longer — nearly 13 years longer — than people with all three of those health problems in their 50s.

“Be aggressive,” advised Dr. Josef Coresh of NYU Langone Health, the study’s senior author. Even delaying those risky conditions “has a huge payoff.”

What tests can, can't do

Like many people who have watched a loved one succumb to Alzheimer's, Mark Yost wonders about his own risk even though he doesn't have symptoms.

“I want to know what my status is,” said Yost, 60, of Phoenix. And if signs of trouble develop, “what I can do about it to either avoid it or slow it down.”

It's not clear what causes Alzheimer's, but its telltale markers are abnormal forms of two proteins. Sticky beta-amyloid can build into brain-clogging plaque over decades, eventually spurring neuron-killing tau tangles that lead to symptoms. Blood tests that measure a tau type called p-tau217 seem particularly good at reflecting amyloid buildup in people with trouble. And although negative test results seem pretty reliable for telling someone they don't have an issue, a positive test sometimes is wrong.

Yost volunteered for a Banner blood test study that included cognitively normal people. He learned his result was “intermediate,” maybe having some amyloid but not a worrisome “elevated” level.

Yost found the uncertainty “a little disappointing” and something to watch as he gets older, while pursuing brain-healthy steps like exercise and a mentally stimulating genealogy hobby.

Healthier habits

A major trial last year found that healthier habits slowed age-related cognitive decline in adults who were at increased risk of developing dementia. Among the steps: A half-hour of moderately intense exercise four times a week, twice-weekly resistance training and following the MIND diet, which stresses leafy greens and berries, whole grains, poultry and fish.

Dementia experts also advise getting enough sleep, avoiding social isolation, treating hearing loss and exercising your brain, not just your body. They say middle age is a key time to act.

How the Fed rate hike will play out with credit, loans

By Paul Wiseman

The Federal Reserve just raised the cost of money — bad news for borrowers, good news for savers.

The Fed increased its benchmark interest rate Wednesday by a quarter-point, the first rate hike since the summer of 2023. The hike will likely make it even costlier to borrow for homes, autos and other purchases. But if you've been socking money away, you'll probably earn a bit more interest on your savings.

The increase boosts the Fed's target rate to a range of 3.75% to 4.00%.

Why is the Fed raising rates?

The short answer: inflation.

Inflation has remained above the Fed's 2% target for more than five years. The Labor Department reported Friday that consumer prices rose 3.4% in August compared to a year earlier, while the monthly increase quadrupled from July to hit 0.4%.

The Fed's goal is to slow consumer and business spending by raising the cost of borrowing, thereby reducing demand for homes, cars and other goods and services, eventually cooling the economy and reducing upward pressure on prices.

Kevin Warsh, Fed chair since May, has assured Congress that central bank policymakers “have no tolerance for persistently elevated inflation.”

Who is affected?

Anyone borrowing money to make a sizable purchase, such as a home, car or large appliance, will probably take a hit eventually. The new rate will also increase monthly payments and costs for any consumer who is already paying interest on credit card debt.

Then again, said Matt Schulz, chief consumer finance analyst at the online loan marketplace LendingTree, “the reality is that a single quarter-point rate increase isn’t really going to have a huge impact.” But it would be different if Wednesday’s hike marks the first in a series of rate increases. “When this all becomes impactful to people is when you stack a few of these on top of each other over time, and it adds up to something bigger,” Schulz said.

For now, U.S. household debt payments are relatively low overall as a percentage of after-tax income. So even if borrowing rates rise, many households might not feel a heavier debt burden immediately.

debt that continues to grow. Treasury yields have continued to rise despite an intervention from the Treasury after Secretary Scott Bessent ordered the U.S. to buy back government bonds in a bid to push yields down.

Do savers get a break?

The rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 6.76% last week, the highest in more than 14 months, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said.

Credit-card rates?

Most credit cards have variable interest rates that track the prime rate banks charge their best customers. And the prime rate responds quickly — within a month — when the Fed raises or lowers its benchmark “fed funds” rate, ”meaning that the Fed’s policy changes flow through to credit card rates rapidly,” researchers at the Boston Fed wrote in March.

Schulz at LendingTree reckons that most cardholders will see their rates rise by a quarter-point over the next couple of months.

Car loans, too?

The Fed indirectly influences auto loan rates by influencing the prime rate. Cars, especially new ones, are already prohibitively expensive. The average cost of a new car rose to \$50,089 last month, according to Kelley Blue Book. The average loan rate last month was 7% for a new car and 10.6% for a used car, according to Edmunds. And the average monthly payment, Experian reported, was \$765 in the second quarter of 2026.

Wiseman writes for the Associated Press.

“Most Americans are generally doing OK,” Schulz said. “But it wouldn’t take a whole lot for them to not be doing OK. People’s financial margin for error is generally pretty small, and just the rising cost of most everything just squeezes them more and more.”

Most likely. Wednesday's move probably means interest rates on savings accounts and certificates of deposit are headed higher. The Fed doesn't set rates on savings accounts and CDs but it "sets the tone" for them, the credit reporting agency Experian says.

When the central bank started raising rates to combat inflation in March 2022, the average rate on a 1-year CD was stuck at 0.15%, according to FDIC data published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The rate shot up to 1.88% by September 2024 and has been above 1.5% since. It was 1.71% last month.

Online banks and others that offer high-yield savings accounts typically compete aggressively for depositors. (They sometimes require much larger deposits.)

What happens with mortgage rates?

Mortgage rates don't necessarily follow what the Fed does. At least not directly. They tend to track the yield on 10-year Treasury notes instead. Unfortunately for home shoppers, 10-year yields have been surging. On Monday they topped $5\%$ for the first time since 2023 due to unease over surging energy prices and massive government

Paramount and Bonta ordered to meet and discuss settlement

BY MEG JAMES

Paramount Skydance will meet with California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta's representatives next month for court-ordered settlement talks that could clear a path for David Ellison's \$111-billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.

The two sides will convene for two days, Oct. 14 and Oct. 15, according to court documents filed this week.

The talks come as both sides look for ways to resolve the pitched battle over Hollywood's industry-reshaping deal, which would put HBO, CBS, CNN, TBS, Food Network, Comedy Central and the Paramount and Warner Bros. studios under one roof. Bonta and 11 other Democratic state attorneys general sued in July to block it, and Ellison's team has been stoking political pressure on Bonta to retreat.

Bonta canceled a session last month after preliminary details and ground rules leaked, prompting him to accuse Paramount of "playing games" by violating a confidentiality agreement and spreading misinformation.

Bonta's Paramount case appears to have ruffled the Trump administration. He sued one month after the Justice Department blessed the merger without demanding concessions — a decision that Bonta said showed federal officials were not doing their jobs to enforce antitrust law. This week the department weighed in on Paramount's side.

"The United States enforces the federal antitrust laws and has a strong interest in their correct application," the Justice Department said in a Tuesday filing, describing its unique position to bring antitrust actions. Its "statement of interest" argued that the plaintiffs had sued as “private persons,” who must clear higher hurdles than the federal government.

The department also asked the judge to force California, the other states and the Writers Guild of America to post a \$1.88-billion bond, covering fees Paramount would owe Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders if the deal isn't finalized by Oct. 1. Paramount agreed to the so-called ticking fees this year, confident the deal would sail through regulatory review. Bonta's office said Wednesday it stands by its earlier filings arguing it should not have to post the bond. A hearing is set for Sept. 24.

Paramount's chief legal officer, Makan Delrahim, has been quarterbacking the campaign for Warner Bros. Discovery. He served as Trump's antitrust chief in his first administration, when he led an unsuccessful effort to block AT&T's takeover of the company, then known as Time Warner Inc. That 2018 deal was the first of two acquisitions that saddled Warner Bros. with instability, strategic misfires and a mountain of debt, paving the way for the Paramount bid — which would mark the third time in a decade the storied studio has changed hands.

Trump has been eager for Ellison to shake up CNN, a Warner property, following his reboot of CBS News, which has coincided with diminished ratings at “60 Minutes.”

Ellison's company has won approvals from more than 65 international regulators, and Paramount expects the Trump-appointed Federal Communications Commission leadership to sign off on a foreign ownership arrangement that would give Middle Eastern royal families a nearly $50\%$ equity stake in the merged company. Bonta's lawsuit is the last obstacle to closing.

Emmy Awards ratings slip 10% to 6.7 million viewers

It was telecast's third smallest audience, bucking upticks in the previous two years.

BY STEPHEN BATTAGLIO

After two straight years of increases, the telecast of the 78th Emmy Awards on Monday slid 10% to 6.7 million viewers on NBC, according to Nielsen data.

The ceremony at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles hosted by “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” star Mariska Hargitay scored the third smallest audience ever for an Emmy telecast.

NBC's telecast in 2022 scored 5.9 million viewers while the all-time low was hit in January 2024, when 4.3 million viewers watched on Fox. The Fox telecast was delayed several months due to the strikes by actors and writers in 2023.

While the ratings Emmy program ticked up in the previous two years, the telecast remains challenged by the overall trend of viewers skipping award show telecasts in favor of clips on social media.

The Emmy Awards are not the only trophy show seeing an audience decline this year.

The Golden Globes telecast on CBS was down 7% year-over-year to 8.7 million viewers in January. ABC's March telecast of the Oscars drew 17.9 million viewers, a 9% drop from 2025.

The Emmy Awards ceremony may end up on a streaming service, as the Television Academy is in talks with Amazon Prime Video about carrying the telecast. The ceremony has rotated among the four broadcast networks — ABC, CBS,

NBC and Fox — in recent years.

The Oscars have already committed to moving the telecast to YouTube in 2029 after decades of airing on ABC.

The audience for the 78th Emmy Awards saw the Apple TV series “Widow’s Bay,” win outstanding comedy as part of 14 Emmys it scored overall, a record for a comedy. HBO Max’s high-energy medical series “The Pitt” was honored for outstanding drama for a second straight year.

The ceremony included a lengthy in memoriam segment and individual tributes to singer Dolly Parton, director Rob Reiner and actor Catherine O'Hara. Actor Michael J. Fox, whose battle with Parkinson's disease now has him using a wheelchair, was honored with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award.

Streaming picks up prizes — and show?

BY STEPHEN BATTAGLIO

All but one of the trophies presented at the 78th Emmy Awards on Monday went to a program running on a streaming platform.

Now the ceremony may be heading to streaming as well.

The Television Academy is in talks to move the annual program to Amazon Prime Video, a change that would end the tradition of rotating the celebration on the four major broadcast networks, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Variety was the first to report Amazon's interest. A TV Academy representative said, "We're having conversations and when we have something to announce we will do so."

If the academy makes the move, the Emmys would be the second major entertainment business awards show to move to streaming. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is ending its long relationship with ABC and moving the Oscars telecast to YouTube in 2029.

The Emmy Awards, like most live trophy shows, is no longer the major ratings attraction it used to be, especially among younger viewers who prefer to watch clips of speeches and red carpet entrances on social media. The audience for the ceremony has been at around 8 million in recent years.

One reason the Emmy Awards may go to Amazon is that ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox are unhappy that they have to produce and carry a telecast that has turned into a three-hour-plus commercial for its streaming competitors, Netflix, HBO Max and Apple TV, which devote far more of their resources to prestige programs that appeal to Emmy voters.

The portions of the ceremony saluting broadcast network programs tend to be nostalgia-driven. The only broadcast winner to make it to the stage on NBC's presentation Monday was canceled CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert.

“It’s a lot of effort and not a lot of return,” said one broadcast network executive not authorized to comment on the matter publicly.

But having an awards show that celebrates television presented on a streaming platform behind a paywall would be a major symbolic statement that traditional viewing on the networks has lost its cultural relevance.

A move to streaming means the Emmy Awards would lose the support the ceremony gets from the network that carries the broadcast. The rights holder typically airs specials promoting the show on affiliated TV stations and morning show segments, although those advantages have mattered less in recent years as traditional viewing has diminished.

Netflix has explored bidding for the rights to the Emmy Awards in recent years, but the streamer was not able to come up with a deal that made economic sense. The last contract reportedly paid roughly \$8 million a year for the rights.

Netflix did pick up the Screen Actors Guild Awards (now called the Actor Awards), which does not have the same profile as the Emmys or Oscars.

Amazon Prime Video has been the most aggressive streamer when it comes to pursuing live events, but mostly in sports. Prime carries the NFL's "Thursday Night Football" package and a significant portion of the NBA's TV rights.

The streamer did acquire the rights to the Academy of Country Music Awards in 2022.

Paramount paid for ‘independent’ report

DAVID ELLISON, Paramount's boss, is struggling to pull off an acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.

Y

You might have heard that Paramount-Sky-dance's proposed \$111-billion

acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery will be a boon for the Southern California film industry. Or that, if it doesn't come off, the damage to the local economy will be epic. Or that, even if it does happen, that might not be good for the economy.

In that respect, like many other merger battles, this one has been producing more murk than light.

The deal is currently on hold, thanks largely to a lawsuit to block it filed by California and 11 other states. U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín of Oakland has scheduled a trial for March 2. But Paramount faces a tighter deadline — if the deal is not closed by Oct. 1, it will owe approximately \$7 million per day of delay to Warner shareholders as a “ticking fee.”

California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta says he's willing to negotiate with Paramount over concessions that would prompt him to drop the lawsuit. But he has been irked at what he says is Paramount's under-the-table maneuvering.

Meanwhile, conjectures about the impact of a deal or non-deal have proliferated. The most recent comes from an organization that presents itself as the producer of sober, professional economic analysis.

That's the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp., a nonprofit affiliated with the county, which says that completing the merger would produce as much as \$1.01 billion in economic growth for the state over the next five years, but that the deal's collapse would cost the state as much as \$21.2 billion a year into the limitless future.

Those figures come from a draft LAEDC report leaked to Politico. What the draft doesn't mention is that the report was commissioned by Paramount. Obviously, that makes its conclusions suspect. But it also makes the LAEDC complicit in muddying the waters about the merger deal.

Alas, there's nothing new or uncommon about self-interested financial studies posing as objective analyses. Big businesses commission such studies all the time, then tout the results as validation for their own policies and practices.

It gets to the point where it's impossible to accurately assess the value of official-sounding statistics. Back in 2024, I reported that the fast-food industry, via ads placed by the California Business and Industrial Alliance, was touting figures indicating that California's minimum wage law for fast-food workers had cost 10,000 fast-food jobs. Unfortunately, the statistic was based on a mathematical error and other rank malarkey; in fact, fast-food employment had risen during the period under study.

LAEDC itself is no stranger to this behavior. In 2011, the corporation issued a study asserting that California's film production tax credit, which aimed to dissuade production from leaving the state, had been a huge economic boon: After only two years and \$200 million spent, it said, the program had produced \$3.8 billion in economic gains and supported more than 20,000 jobs.

That would have been impressive, if it were the product of objective analysis. But as I reported at the time, the report had been commissioned by the Motion Picture Assn. of America, which is Hollywood's leading lobbying group and which favored more and better public subsidies. The

MPAA's sponsorship wasn't mentioned in the report itself, but was subsequently confirmed by the report's author.

That brings us back to the LAEDC report on the pros and cons of the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger. The draft itself was rather more evenhanded than the coverage it received in much of the press, which headlined the purported gains from the deal (New York Post, for instance) or the potential economic hit from a breakdown (The Hollywood Reporter, among others.)

From Paramount's vantage point, this coverage was all to the good, as my colleague Meg James reported, because it all tended to favor the deal and sound a caution about a non-deal.

The LAEDC acknowledges that Paramount paid for the report. To be precise, an LAEDC spokesman told me that “Paramount engaged LAEDC’s Institute for Applied Economics to conduct an independent analysis.”

If you think that Paramount truly asked the LAEDC to produce an “independent analysis,” raise your hand. Me neither.

The draft reads as though the authors' task was to assemble empirical data to validate a pre-established conclusion — namely, that relocating Paramount's operations out of California would mean a hit of more than \$21 billion a year in “economic output.” Dire indeed.

Justin Adams, senior director at the Institute for Applied Economics, told me by email that its goal was to game out “best case” and ‘worst case’ scenarios given the inherent uncertainty. The best case shows modest, negative impacts. The worst case shows significant, negative impacts. We do not ascribe likelihoods to either scenario.”

Yet the LAEDC put its thumb on the scale in assessing the consequences. For one thing, it took as gospel Paramount's position that, if a settlement with the states isn't reached, "it would be compelled to relocate the company's headquarters and thousands of jobs out of California ... to a more hospitable regulatory environment such as Georgia, Tennessee, or Texas."

Of course, nothing could “compel” Paramount to relocate, absent a settlement. That would be the choice of David Ellison, Paramount’s boss, pure and simple, which makes it more likely that he’s wielding the relocation option for leverage in settlement talks. In any event, relocating an

entertainment behemoth out of California, to some entertainment hinterland like those states, would be more complicated and certainly costly than staying put.

The report accepted as read Ellison's "commitment" that the merged company would produce 30 feature films a year for three years, and penciled out the potential economic gains. But "commitment" is Paramount's term. There's no written, enforceable guarantee anywhere I can find that Ellison would follow through.

Then there's the question of who leaked the report. Paramount says the leak didn't come from the company. The LAEDC says it "did not share our preliminary findings report with any external party." Politico didn't respond to my question about how it acquired the report.

That leaves us with an inquiry into who benefits from its disclosure. The answer plainly is Paramount. The company told me that it's “pleased with the analysis” and added, “we regularly provide data to credible and verified third-party research firms and institutes to ensure accuracy and factual representation in any public reporting.”

The LAEDC did refer, in a sidelong way, to what some objective analysts have found to be the financial pressures that a merged company would have to manage, such as a debt overhang of some \$80 billion. That will challenge Ellison's pledge of a stepped-up pace in film production, and places in question Paramount's suggestion that it can generate \$6 billion in savings post-merger by selling off some real estate and consolidating the merged entities' streaming services, rather than through layoffs.

The LAEDC specified that it didn't examine “the likelihood or potential impacts of any consolidation that could occur after a successful merger between Paramount and WBD” (that is, Warner Bros. Discovery).

It's hard to say where someone can go for a fact-based study of what's at stake in this fight. The most sober analysis may be the one commissioned by L.A. County's Department of Economic Opportunity from the firm CVL Economics. CVL was pessimistic about the local economic impacts of the merger, which it said would place 4,495 direct film and television job-years at risk between 2027 and 2030. "As those losses move through businesses that support production and the broader County economy," CVL asserted, "total employment exposure reaches approximately 10,360 job-years."

CVL was careful to specify that its estimates only reckoned “employment capacity at risk” and wasn’t “a forecast of layoffs.” But it did report, accurately enough, that the merger “would consolidate decision-making within a highly leveraged company at a time when there is less production activity to go around and greater ability to move that activity elsewhere.” Anyone looking for empirical data to help gauge what’s at stake in this transaction would be well-advised to start there.

It would be wise to think about this deal not as an effort to make the entertainment industry more efficient, or to create better movies and TV. As I wrote last year when this deal was first announced, and like most big-money mergers, what the participants typically bring to the table are boatloads of money, and ego. And it's the second factor that really matters.

U.S. homebuying slows as prices, mortgage rates rise

LUXURY homes are under construction in New Albany, Ohio, as sales decline.
KUCHIRO SATO Associated Press

they were in the same stretch of 2025, NAR said.

Existing home sales fell 2% in August in the third straight monthly decline.

BY ALEX VEIGA

Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes declined in August to their slowest annual pace in more than a year as home shoppers grappled with rising mortgage rates and home prices.

Existing home sales fell 2% last month from July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.98 million units, the National Assn. of Realtors said last week. This is the third straight monthly decline.

Sales also fell 1.2% compared with August last year. The latest sales tally is just shy of the 4-million pace economists were expecting, according to FactSet.

"It's not a surprise home sales and mortgage rates move in the opposite direction and we have seen mortgage rates rising, rising, rising from February," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist.

Home sales have been mostly hovering close to a 4-million annual pace going back to 2023, far short of the historic norm that is closer to 5.2 million. The last time the annual sales pace came in below 4 million was June 2025.

Despite the latest pullback, existing U.S. home sales are running 1.6% higher through the first eight months of this year than

The housing market has been stymied in large part by rising borrowing costs, as mortgage rates have marched higher in the months since the war between the U.S. and Iran started in late February. Expectations of higher inflation amid surging oil prices have pushed up the long-term bond yields that lenders use as a guide to pricing home loans, driving mortgage rates higher.

The average rate on the benchmark 30-year mortgage hit 6.76% this week, its highest level in more than 14 months. It briefly dipped below 6% before the war started.

Yun noted that rate could soon reach 7%, given that mortgage rates tend to follow moves in the 10-year Treasury yield, which is at levels not seen since late 2023. The yield was at 4.92% on the bond market as of Sept. 10.

Even as sales slowed, home prices continued to rise nationally last month. The U.S. median sales price increased 1.6% in August from a year earlier to \$429,100, an all-time high for the month of August based on data going back to 1999, NAR said. Home prices have risen on an annual basis for 38 months in a row.

The U.S. housing market has been in a slump since 2022, when mortgage rates began to climb from pandemic-era lows. Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes were essentially flat last year, stuck at a 30-year low.

Years of soaring home prices, especially in the early part of this decade when rock-bottom mortgage rates fueled a buying frenzy, have left many would-be home-buyers frozen out of the market. And a chronic shortage of homes for sale nationally, due partly to years of below-average new home construction, has helped prop up home prices even in a multi-year sales slump.

Many of the homes purchased last month likely went under contract in July and June, when the average rate on a 30-year mortgage ranged from 6.43% to 6.66%.

Regionally, sales fell last month from July in the Northeast, Midwest and South. Sales were flat in the West. Prices, meanwhile, continued to rise in the Northeast faster than the rest of the country, climbing 4.3% from August last year amid a shortage of homes on the market relative to other regions.

The sales slowdown is leading to unsold properties sitting on the market longer, helping boost the number of available homes.

Although home inventory levels remain well below historical norms, there were 1.62 million unsold homes at the end of last month, up 3.2% from July and up 5.9% from August last year, NAR said. That's still short of the roughly 2 million homes for sale that was typical before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Still, August's month-end inventory translates to a 4.9-months' supply at the current sales pace. That's the highest level in over 10 years. Traditionally, a 4- to 6-month supply is considered a balanced market between buyers and sellers.

The increase in homes for sale gives home shoppers who can afford to buy at current mortgage rates or pay all cash a wider selection and potentially, more leverage in negotiating better sales terms.

In August, the national median home listing price fell 1.2% from a year earlier, while roughly 20% of listings had their initial price lowered, according to Realtor.com.

First-time buyers accounted for 30% of home purchases last month, up from 29% in July and 28% in August last year, NAR said. Historically, first-time buyers make up closer to 40% of home sales.

Affordability remains a primary concern for home shoppers, as home prices, mortgage rates, property taxes and insurance costs are now significantly higher than a few years ago, noted Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union.

The trends are also putting pressure on homeowners eager to sell.

"It's not a good time to sell your home," Long said. "Americans are hitting the pause button on homebuying."

Stocks slip after Fed raises rates, hints at further hikes

BY STAN CHOE

Stocks slipped Wednesday after the Federal Reserve hiked its main interest rate for the first time in three years and suggested more may be ahead as it tries to get the nation's high inflation under control.

The Standard & Poor's 500 fell $0.4\%$ after giving up a modest gain from earlier in the day. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 631 points, or $1.2\%$ , and the Nasdaq composite was nearly unchanged after edging down by less than $0.1\%$ .

Investors generally prefer lower interest rates because higher rates slow the economy's growth and undercut prices for stocks and other investments.

The U.S. stock market initially held onto its modest, early gains after the Fed announced its decision. The short-term pain of a slower economy may be worth it if it starves inflation of its fuel and gets further increases for the cost of living back to the Fed's 2% target.

But stock prices weakened later in the day as Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh said repeatedly in a news conference that inflation remains too high and the U.S. economy appears to be strengthening. That could imply the economy is solid enough to withstand more hikes to rates, and other officials at the Fed provided their own forecasts suggesting rates may need to go still higher.

The federal funds rate is expected to end this year at 4.1%, according to forecasts published after the central bank's meeting. That's up from its current range of 3.75% to 4% after Wednesday's increase, and it's up from the median forecast of 3.8% that Fed officials gave three months ago.

Traders, meanwhile, suspect the Fed may go even further. They're betting on a 38% probability the Fed could increase the federal funds rate to a range of 4.25% to 4.50% by the end of the year, according to data from CME Group.

"Our decision comes at a time when the American economy appears to be strengthening," Warsh said in his news conference.

He pointed to solid U.S. hiring trends, corporate profits and investments by businesses. A report on Wednesday morning, meanwhile, showed shoppers spent much more at U.S. retailers last month than economists expected.

"The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long," Warsh said. He later added, "Today's action starts to show we're serious about this."

It's the first increase by the Fed to interest rates in three years. The central bank had been on pause for months following cuts to rates in 2024 and 2025, even though inflation has consistently remained above the Fed's $2\%$ target.

President Trump has been lobbying for interest rates to go lower rather than higher.

On Wall Street, bank stocks fell to some of the market's sharper losses. A slower U.S. economy could mean less demand for loans from them. Banks also get hurt when the gap narrows between short-term interest rates and longer-term ones because the industry makes profit off the difference.

Following the Fed's announcements, the two-year Treasury yield jumped to $4.74\%$ from $4.67\%$ late Tuesday. It tends to closely follow expectations for what the Fed will do with the federal funds rate.

The yield on the longer-term 10-year Treasury, meanwhile, takes into account expectations for economic growth and inflation years down the line. It had a more modest increase, ticking up to 5.01% from 5.00% late Tuesday.

Stocks of oil companies weighed on the market after the price for a barrel of Brent crude fell 2.7% to \$105.83. It was the first drop of the week for Brent, which has gotten near \$110 in recent days.

August retail sales jump despite pain at the pump

CARLIN STIEHL For The Times
A MAN fills up his fuel tank this month at the 76 gas station on Devonshire Street in Chatsworth, Calif.

By Anne D'Innocenzio

Consumers may be grip- ing about higher prices at the pump and elsewhere, but they keep spending, helping to power the eco- my, according to the latest government snapshot.

Retail sales rebounded at a better-than-expected 1.2% increase last month after recording a revised 0.5% dip in July, according to Commerce Department data released Wednesday. Economists were anticipating a 0.7% gain for the month, according to FactSet.

The decline in July was notable because there had been few signs of fatigue from U.S. consumers. Americans spent heavily during the World Cup and Amazon Prime Day sales this summer. That followed solid retail sales in April and May as Americans dipped into their government tax refunds.

Even excluding business at gas stations, retail sales rose 1.1% in August, underscoring the resilience of the American consumer. The government figures aren't adjusted for inflation. The roar back in spending is happening even as consumer confidence took another hit in July, according to the latest reading by the Conference Board.

The strong spending report comes as the Federal Reserve lifted its short-term interest rate Wednesday for the first time in three years to fight stubbornly high inflation.

Much of the strength in retail last month reflected a bounce back in nonstore sales, which declined sharply in July, according to economists.

That was “seasonal noise” driven by shifts in the timing of Amazon’s Prime Day shopping event, which also coincides with heavy promotions from other major online retailers, according to Michael Pearce, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. Rising gas prices also propped up gasoline station sales, he said.

But even accounting for these factors, gains in most spending categories were “decent,” led by discretionary sectors such as food services, electronics, and sports and recreation, Pearce wrote.

“American consumers are still opening their wallets and buying,” Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, wrote in a report published Wednesday. “August retail sales showed a big bounce back after a weak July.”

The so-called control group — which excludes food services, autos, building materials and gas station sales and is used to calculate economic growth — rose a strong 1.4% last month from the prior month.

Many Americans continue to spend despite skyrocketing gas prices that have accompanied renewed fighting in the Middle East.

The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline rose overnight to \$4.37 on Wednesday, according to motor club AAA. That is about 47% more than a gallon cost before the war began, when it cost less than \$3.

Diesel, which has an outsized impact because it's used for shipping, transportation and manufacturing, has risen even faster, up 68%.

The Labor Department reported Friday that consumer prices rose 3.4% last month from a year earlier, and they're up 0.4% from July, quadrupling the 0.1% registered in the previous month.

Still, Americans have grown more selective about what they buy, according to retailers who reported their quarterly financial results in the past few weeks, but some, such as Walmart and Macy's, are using a portion of their tariff refunds from the government to lower prices.

Macy's received \$116 million in tariff refunds from the government, Macy's Chief Executive Tony Spring said, and some of those proceeds are being used to lower prices on certain big-ticket items such as furniture and fine jewelry.

Executives at the National Retail Federation, the nation's largest retail trade group, said that retail sales have been better than expected this year.

Mark Mathews, chief economist at the NRF, also noted he's seeing in recent months a softening of the K-shaped spending trends — the upper part of the K refers to higher-income Americans seeing their incomes and wealth rise while the bottom part points to lower-income households struggling with weaker income gains and steep prices.

Underscoring consumers' resilience, September is expected to be the busiest month of the year for import volume at the nation's major container ports, according to the retail group's Global Port Tracker.

The tracker is produced for the NRF by a consultancy firm called Hackett Associates.

La Opinión looks back at a century of change in L.A.

LA OPINIÓN, founded in 1926, reports on FDR's rout of Herbert Hoover during the Great Depression.

[La Opinión, from A1] paper was a lifeline to figure out what was going on as well as to find a job, rent an apartment and buy a car.

La Opinión was also a voice during turbulent times for Latinos, including immigration crackdowns and political issues such as Proposition 187, which would have denied many benefits to people living in the country illegally.

"I think a lot of us who grew up in the era of the '80s certainly remember how tough those times were and how vital the local newspapers were, particularly La Opinión" said Dunia Elvir, president of the National Assn. of Hispanic Journalists, recalling those days. "They served as a voice for those who were living in fear."

She said the paper's stance made Latinos feel like they belonged in the city.

"I dare to say La Opinión was vital; it was like medicine for the spirit," she said in Spanish.

Still, the celebration is a bittersweet moment for the paper that for decades expanded, contracted and, like many of its newspaper peers, is struggling amid an ever-changing media landscape that is marked by layoffs, revenue losses and a drop in readership.

Today, the paper operates with about 50 full-time employees and freelancers, a major decline from years past when the staff was in the hundreds. The paper still publishes a print edition, though it is in a tabloid format — smaller in size and more compact.

To mark the historic occasion, LiCalzi said, the paper launched Somos L.A. Columna, a series of 100-word columns that will publish on the paper's website and in print. They will also be shared on the paper's social media accounts.

LiCalzi said the short columns are heartfelt messages from elected officials, community leaders, athletes, artists, business owners and activists who have helped shape the city.

“We’ve spent 100 years writing about the city and for the centennial, we wanted to hear from it,” Li-Calzi said.

He said the Spanish phrase Somos L.A. Columna is a nod to Angelenos who make up the backbone of the city. He said having people write shorter messages required that people sit and think about why L.A. is important to them.

Among the list of contributors is Antonio Villarraigosa, former mayor of Los Angeles; Gustavo Dudamel, former music and artistic director of the L.A. Philharmonic; and Byron Vásquez, president and director at Casa de la Cultura de Guatemala in Los Angeles.

The columns will be accompanied by a short video reflecting the paper's history in L.A. The video opens with a simple line in Spanish: “We’ve always been here.”

City and company officials say the former site of La Opinión at 302 N. Los Angeles St. will be featured in the city's online inventory of historic places, Historic-PlacesLA Revealed: Latino Los Angeles, a city initiative that highlights places that reflect the history and heritage of the city's Latino population.

A QR code will be placed by the building to direct visitors to an online multimedia page about La Opinión's history, according to the city officials.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass celebrated the paper's centennial in a written statement.

“For a century, La Opinión has been a trusted source of news and information for generations of Latino Angelenos,” she wrote.

“Spanish-language media is an essential part of Los Angeles. It tells the stories of Angelenos, reflects the people and neighborhoods that make our city what it is.”

Los Angeles County Board Chair Hilda Solis said that when she was growing up in a family of immigrants, Spanish-language media was part of her everyday life.

“La Opinión helped families like mine stay informed about what was happening in our communities and gave Spanish-speaking Angelenos a voice,” she said in a written statement. “That role is just as important today. At a time when there are efforts to divide our communities and question our sense of belonging, ethnic media helps ensure people have access to information they can understand and

trust."

Adding to the celebratory theme, the centennial comes during Hispanic Heritage Month.

Every year on Mexican Independence Day, the paper celebrates its humble beginnings when Lozano Sr. launched the paper from a modest office in downtown Los Angeles.

Lozano Sr. had already founded La Prensa in San Antonio when he arrived in L.A. and saw a city in need of a Spanish-language newspaper equal to U.S. mainstream papers.

"It was a golden age of Spanish-language newspapers in Los Angeles," said Félix Gutiérrez, professor emeritus of journalism at USC.

At the time, he said, most of the papers aligned themselves with a political party or a specific movement. He said La Opinión distinguished itself by sticking to journalism.

“They were committed to journalism and to reporting and reflecting the best of Mexicans in the U.S. through its authors,” Gutiérrez said. “That was the original vision and you know La Opinión lasted all these years.”

Upon Lozano Sr.'s death in 1953, Ignacio E. Lozano Jr. became publisher of the paper, continuing a family legacy that would span three generations.

Under Lozano Jr., the paper expanded and shifted from foreign news to covering local issues that affected Latinos, topics that were either ignored or misinterpreted by its English-language counterparts.

In 1976, President Ford appointed him as U.S. ambassador to El Salvador. Lozano and his wife embarked to the Central American country for nine months, leaving La Opinión in the hands of their son and daughter, Jose Ignacio and Leticia.

During the 1980s, Los Angeles saw another influx of Latin American immigration, including Mexicans and Central Americans fleeing poverty and war. La Opinión grew during this period, strengthening its commitment to civic journalism by opposing Proposition 187 and promoting citizenship and immigrant rights.

But the paper was also struggling financially. In 1990, then-owner Times Mirror Co. acquired a 50% interest in La Opinión. The partnership ended more than a decade later.

In 2004, the Lozano family founded ImpreMedia, a national media company that owned several Spanish-language newspapers across the country, including La Opinión.

That same year, Monica Lozano served as the paper's chief executive and publisher.

Lozano said the paper had always served as a bridge between Latinos and the people who were in position of power and influence.

"I would say the paper had a dual mission: One was to represent our community and the growing influence it was having," she said. "But to also defend and make clear that we needed to be seen as an immigrant community that came with aspirations and dreams to provide for our families, contribute to the country and to be considered a fundamental part of the fabric of society.

"I've said over the years that what started as a Mexican-owned business became an American institution," she added.

In 2012, the Lozano family sold its interest in the company to a subsidiary of the Argentine media company La Nación.

Lozano, who serves as the board chair of the LA Local, a nonprofit news organization, said it wasn't long after that she left the company. She went on to serve in various leadership roles. Lozano said she remains optimistic that the paper will continue to thrive under its current owners so long as it stays committed to serving and understanding the community it writes for, regardless of how the content is consumed.

"The need for outlets like this has become even more critical, people are searching for content that they can trust and is community focused," she said.

LiCalzi echoed that sentiment.

"One hundred years is truly incredible, and I want this [paper] in whatever format it exists to keep serving the community for many more decades," he said. "And that's the goal."

CALIFORNIA hasn't implemented rotating power outages since 2020.

Proof that clean energy works

Re "Blackouts avoided in record summer heat," Sept. 12

CALIFORNIA just survived its hottest August on record — no rolling blackouts, no rolling outages, no Flex Alerts. Six years ago, hundreds of thousands of homes lost power in a far milder heat wave. What changed? Battery storage grew from under 100 megawatts to over 17,000. Clean energy works. This is what happens when we invest in solutions instead of doubling down on the problem.

Burning fossil fuels is driving the climate change that made August so brutal. Yet while Californians kept the lights on with sun and batteries, Exxon pocketed \$160 million a day in profits last quarter — and taxpayers funded FEMA, rebuilt fire-ravaged neighborhoods and absorbed the suffering of families who lost everything in the L.A. fires.

A carbon-pollution fee — paid by polluters, rebated to households — would accelerate what California is already proving works. Our kids deserve a future in which “hottest August ever” isn’t a headline every year.

ERYN WALSH KOUSSA Hawthorne

This article illustrates the fact that solving the climate crisis is a political problem — easily solved at the ballot box. Californians elected forward-thinking politicians who set clean energy goals. Those politicians created and supported programs to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and speed deployment of renewable energy. California's clean energy achievements are the result of enlightened politics.

The science is clear: Fossil fuel pollution is killing millions and overheating the planet with dire consequences. The economics are clear: Clean renewable solar, wind and battery storage are cheaper than dirty fossil fuels. Politics hold the solutions.

Political decisions — who we vote for, which parties and policies we support — will determine whether we decarbonize our economy before climate changes overwhelm us. The only way to stop global warming and the rogue fossil fuel industry causing it is through political action, which means voting for those politicians who support phasing out fossil fuels and against those who don't.

ROBERT TAYLOR Santa Barbara

:

The reason reliance upon battery storage to avoid blackouts is surprising is because there is not a daily

headline along these lines: "Battery storage helped avoid another blackout yesterday." Climate-hushing in most media spaces leaves people unaware of the quiet but relentless advance of clean energy and storage. This is now reaching a performance level splashy enough to report.

I am optimistic that as citizens become more aware, the benefits of clean energy (lowest cost, least polluting) will accelerate transition away from Earth-heating fossil fuels. Go to a town hall and ask the candidates, "What is your position on permit reform to get more clean energy infrastructure built?" Let's shorten the delays that are a barrier to so many pending large-scale clean energy projects. A future of clean and healthy air and water and smaller electric bills is not a pie-in-the-sky dream. It is within reach.

An unwavering vision of truth

Re “Smithsonian official to step aside amid clash,” Sept. 9

Americans committed to telling the full and honest story of our nation owe Lonnie Bunch a debt of gratitude. As secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, he has stood firm

against the Trump administration's efforts to reshape American history to fit its political agenda. Through it all, Bunch has remained committed to his belief that the Smithsonian is “part of the glue that holds the country together.”

Bunch's greatest legacy may be his service as the founding director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. Under his leadership, the museum presented a full and unvarnished view of America in all its greatness and messiness. I have had the privilege of visiting the museum more than 20 times and leading delegations of educators through this extraordinary institution. The museum does not simply tell the African American story. It embodies the American story.

As President Barack Obama said at the museum's dedication, "This is the place to understand how protest and love of country don't merely coexist but inform each other."

That is the vision Bunch brought to the Smithsonian. For that, I thank him. JULIAN KENNETH BRAXTON Boston

Throwing around taxpayers' money

THE PRESIDENT promised \$5,000 to every adult, only if Republicans keep their House and Senate majorities in the midterms.
JACQUELYN MARTIN Associated Press

Even before promising \$5,000 checks, Trump was on track to break the record for adding debt.

DONALD TRUMP JR. has a lot more in common with his dad than just a name, sharing the president's penchant

for shady dealings and for kleptocratic Russians. Sometimes the two proclivities go together. That was the case in May, we learned this week from ProPublica, when Don Jr. married his second wife during a three-day Bahamian bacchanal bankrolled partly with hundreds of thousands of dollars from a Putin-allied oligarch the Trump scion met only recently.

I had to wonder — recalling Don Jr.'s response in 2016 on learning Russia helpfully wanted to dump dirt on Hillary Clinton — whether he replied in kind when his new Russian friend, Umar Kremlev, offered the wedding grift, er, gift: "If it's what you say I love it."

My second thought was that Don Jr. is just like his dad in wanting to spend other people's money, even as the Trump family has accrued billions since President Trump has been back in office. (Cue the continued silence from the sleuths of Hunter Biden's laptop.)

Just days before ProPublica's exposé, at last week's midterm Republican convention in Dallas, the elder Trump proffered a gift of \$5,000 to every one of the roughly 270 million adult Americans. But the eponymous "Trump dividend" would come only if Republicans keep their House and Senate majorities after the November midterm elections.

The tab? More than \$1 trillion, roughly \$1.3 trillion. How generous Trump is with the U.S. Treasury, despite the news just last month that rattled bond markets and raised interest rates: The United States' gross debt has exceeded \$40 trillion.

As Trump told CNBC in 2016: “I love debt. I love playing with it.” We can’t say he didn’t warn us. Even before his proposed 5K giveaway, Trump was on track to break his first-term record for adding to the unsustainable U.S. debt (\$8.4 trillion).

Trump's unprecedented offer of a post-election payout provoked predictable cries of "bribery" from Democrats and other critics. But legality aside, even the appearance of a bribe isn't what bothers me most about the proposal.

For one thing, it won't happen. No one will be receiving a \$5,000 Trump dividend, just like no one received the DOGE dividend or \$2,000 tariff refund he previously promised.

Even if Republicans pull off a miracle and retain control of Congress, those in power show no zeal for his budget-buster, not after their complicity in adding trillions to the debt since last year with tax cuts, war costs and this, that and the other Trump pet project.

And Congress indeed would have to act, under the Constitution, despite suggestions from the obsequious Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, that Trump could act alone. (But “I’m not ready to discuss it at present,” Bessent told a House committee on Tuesday.)

No, what bothers me most about Trump's idea — what outrages me — is the damnable fiscal irresponsibility of it.

Trump has turned much of historical Republican orthodoxy on its head, including on immigration, trade and policy toward Russia. But his utter disregard for annual deficits — a record \$2 trillion for this fiscal year that ends Sept. 30 — and his shameful profligacy with taxpayers' money is something Americans haven't seen in their lifetimes, in either party.

Worse, Trump implies otherwise, that he is fiscally responsible, and he does it with lies that are so easily refuted, so often contradicted by his own words, that it's a marvel that even such a chronic prevaricator as himself can utter them.

This week Trump is still claiming that the \$5,000 dividend will be paid for because “we’re taking in trillions and trillions of dollars” in revenue from his inflationary tariffs on more than half of the goods imported into the country. The actual number isn’t even close to that, and he should know it: The data that nonpartisan analysts are crunching are from the government he supposedly runs.

In 2026, tariff revenue through August was just under \$200 billion, but more than half of that already has been spent on refunds to big corporations including Amazon, Walmart and Home Depot, in keeping with a Supreme Court ruling against some of Trump's tariffs. And as if Trump's dividend proposal weren't mendacious enough, in making it he seems to have forgotten his claim in his State of the Union address in February that he would use the tsunami of tariff revenue to abolish the federal income tax.

And one last thing: Even if each adult American got \$5,000, subtract from that the nearly \$2,000 that each household has paid, on average, because of higher tariffs since Trump took office, according to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.

In this one dumb idea, in sum, the giveaway manifests just about all that is wrong with Trump as president: The lying, of course. Fiscal recklessness. The trashing of commendable Republican doctrines. The Trump bubble of sycophantic yay-sayers. And, in turn, the seat-of-his-pants policy idiocy, from war-making to White House demolishing.

The lack of any actual policy deliberation behind Trump's \$5,000 shocker was clear in his lackeys' flailing and contradictory reactions — not just Bessent's specious claim of presidential authority, but also Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's inane insistence the administration could somehow "earn the money that Donald Trump wants to pay out" and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett's comment, contrary to Bessent's, that the White House is indeed looking to Congress for funds.

The good news? Americans get it. Recent polls have the percentage approving of Trump's handling of the economy as low as 28%. Significant majorities say they are worse off since he became president again.

Such numbers portend an election result that isn't likely to be changed by a promise of \$5,000. Especially from a serial promise-breaker.

Paramount's chief won Washington and lost Hollywood

If the billionaire's son wants his own story, he should be courting the talent he'll need for making movies

A s THE Warner Bros.-Paramount merger inches closer to reality, actor-turned-movie mogul, David Ellison

Mogul David Ellison faces a paradox. He seems to have cleared every regulatory body but still can't close the deal. As 12 Democratic attorneys general push back on antitrust grounds, not to mention facing thousands of Hollywood artisans protesting, a WGA lawsuit, the Block the Merger group and the constant talk of political cronyism as federal regulators quickly waved the merger through, this entire deal has been given a political framing instead of an industrial one.

It's easy to read this situation as favoritism or nepotism and leave it there. Ellison is living in the shadow of his father, billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, and aligning with his father's political allies. If David Ellison wants to carve out his own story, he should be courting Hollywood talent and not bureaucrats in Washington. That doesn't mean Ellison has to change his personal politics, but that he should be building his goodwill within the film industry.

All the right-wing glad-handing that's been happening, especially at CBS, has created optics that shroud the entire operation. This is a strategic failure that Hollywood moguls throughout history worked to avoid. Movie bosses from Paramount founder Adolph Zukor to Warner Bros. co-founder Harry Warner were courting and jousting with Washington their entire careers, but the story was always in defense of movies. Self-censorship was imposed to keep the government away in the 1920s. Studios defended anti-Nazi movies from isolationist senators in 1941. Hollywood aligned with the government during World War II as the nation banded together. The industry fumbled the early Cold War paranoia with the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings but still managed to stay intact.

For most of Hollywood's history, the government was a necessary evil working alongside it. Movie moguls must understand how to negotiate with government pressure so business can go on. The industry lost its bid to save vertical integration — the sole control of exhibition, distribution and production — in 1948, but that door has now been reopened following the reversal in 2020. There have never been more venues to exhibit entertainment than there are right now. The possibilities are endless, yet the skepticism over promises of growth are legion.

The prevailing attitude among the entertainment world is that their thoughts don't matter to Ellison. Constant threats to sell studio lots and move the company don't land well in Los Angeles.

DAVID ELLISON, chief executive of Paramount Skydance, speaks during CinemaCon 2026.

Sharon Waxman wrote in the New York Times, “no one really wants to move from Beverly Hills to Nashville.” Los Angeles is an epicenter of talent that has fed Hollywood for over a century.

The historical grounding cannot be overstated and is worth fighting for. Someone close to the internal thinking at Paramount told the New York Post that, "Ellison loves movies and Warner will eventually be sold to Big Tech if this deal doesn't go through and they can't wait for AI to start eliminating jobs." This all may be true, but why then isn't Ellison boasting the importance of these studio lots and wrapping himself in the history and importance of Hollywood? Instead, Ellison is threatening to abandon Los Angeles and the latest report predicts the action would result in 58,000 lost jobs and \$21 billion in annual revenue in California.

It's clear that Ellison has been courting the wrong audience all along. If he knew he could waltz through the regulatory process, why spend so much time in Washington flaunting that reality? Look at what Ted Sarandos was doing for months when Netflix had an agreement to purchase Warner

Bros. in late 2025. He was talking to the industry trades, going on podcasts, in addition to speaking to leaders in Washington. Even with its own criticisms over conflicting messages on theatrical windows, it was clear that the Netflix offer was grounded in entertainment first and foremost.

Courting Hollywood over Washington would have created a completely different narrative for Ellison, even with the Hollywood-hating Trump allies in his circle. He should be winning over the people who will be working for him. In contrast, Harry Warner was never happy with politicians and other Hollywood leaders' approval; he needed to make sure the carpenters and grips understood that Warner considered them with every decision he made. Warner looked to defend his company to shareholders, not explain shareholder feelings to the rest of Warner Bros.

Ellison's New York Times op-ed should have been very early in his bid for Warner Bros. Why wasn't he joining "The Town" podcast, or speaking with the Hollywood Reporter, in addition to letting Tom Cruise stump for the merger? Cronyism, nepotism and favorit-

"OUR COLLEAGUES lost their lives this evening," an NBC anchor reported after the news helicopter crash.

NBC4 reports on its own tragedy

Journalists fight tears describing chopper crash that killed 3, including 2 colleagues.

BY KAREN GARCIA, IRIS KWOK, MEG JAMES AND SUMMER LIN

The news team at NBC4 was covering the deadly collision involving a Metro bus in Chatsworth on Tuesday night when, just a few blocks away, a helicopter crashed.

There were several news choppers overhead that had been covering the bus accident.

For the next two hours, anchors and reporters covered the story while informing viewers of a grim fact: The station had lost contact with its Chopper 4 crew.

The journalists at times fought back tears as they reported what they saw. Several on the ground said they were overwhelmed by the support coming from first responders and fellow reporters.

Then at 9 p.m., veteran NBC4 anchor Colleen Williams confirmed what many viewers suspected.

"We received the confirmation that in fact News Chopper 4 went down just before 7 p.m. tonight in Chatsworth," Williams said. "We've been piecing it together. We knew it was a news chopper. We knew we had lost contact with our people out there. Now we have confirmation.

“We are going to take a couple of minutes to think about that, to process, and to regroup,” she added before ending the live broadcast.

Around 9:40 p.m. NBC resumed its live coverage, which included a news conference near the site of the helicopter crash.

Once the conference ended, anchor Williams said, "Our colleagues lost their lives this evening; they were in News Chopper 4."

The helicopter team had been in the air covering the bus crash.

The anchor earlier described how the staff first learned of the tragedy.

The helicopter team of Eliana Moreno and George Marciniw was in the air covering the bus crash, and "we're getting ready to go on

A legacy of service and risk

Airborne reporting, a staple in traffic-heavy L.A., can be fatal for journalists. Some have quit.

they're as far away as a couple of thousand feet over your head, and as close as your radio and cellphone. They were aloft before

GPS, before Waze and Google Maps, and they still are.

Where, literally, would Angelenos be without the flying eyes that guide us to our destinations through our traffic mangles and bring us close to mayhem, riot and fire?

Their work became the story Tuesday when the two people in an NBC4 news helicopter died after it crashed and burst into flames in Chatsworth, not far from the story they were heading to cover: an SUV had plowed into a bus, killing two. One person on the ground also died in the helicopter crash.

Los Angeles and airborne reporting were always a match made, if not in heaven, then a quarter-mile or so closer to it than the rest of us earthbound beings.

Kelly Lange worked for several years as an airborne radio traffic reporter before becoming a groundbreaking nightly news anchor for the NBC station here and a guest host for the NBC network. She is a friend, and I called her Tuesday to hear her reflections on the work, and her onetime colleagues.

"It's such a dangerous job, really," she told me and described some of her close calls. "I'm amazed I lived through it."

New York City claims the earliest aerial traffic report, in the summer of 1935, by a police commander who monitored the weekend flow of Fords from a Goodyear blimp. Car radios were still uncommon, but one afternoon, the airborne commander spent 20 minutes chewing out a Sunday driver he saw weaving and dodging through a traffic jam in Queens. He described the car and then boomed out his order over the airwaves, "Don't be so hasty there.... Don't crowd!"

A KNX announcer and sports reporter named Tom Hanlon is said to have reported L.A. traffic patterns from a United Airlines plane two years later, in August 1937, when weekend drivers overpowered roads en route to beaches and mountain retreats.

One of the earliest to take to the air and the airwaves regularly in Southern California was also the first to die in that duty: Captain Max.

Max Schumacher was a Marine combat pilot in the Korean War. During the Christmas holiday in 1957, he and a radio reporter flew a Bell helicopter for KABC radio, delivering news and traffic updates every 20 minutes or so.

Schools must share child's gender identity if parents ask, judge rules

By Howard Blume

It remains illegal in California for a school district to force teachers and other staff to alert parents about their child's gender identity, but parents must be told when they ask about it, a judge ruled Tuesday in a widely watched case dealing with parental rights.

San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Michael Sachs, weighing both state law and a Supreme Court order, rejected an attempt by the Chino Valley Unified School District to reinstate its mandatory parent-notification policy.

"There is no requirement that the school district, on its own, after learning of transgender issues, contact parents and let the parents know of them," Sachs said in court. At the same time, "in the event a parent makes an affirmative inquiry of a minor child regarding their status, whether transgender or not, that will trigger an obligation by the school district to respond."

Under the Chino Valley policy, approved in July 2023, a school would have to notify parents of any request by a student “to use pronouns that do not align with the student’s biological sex or gender listed on the student’s birth certificate or other official records.” The

Millions stolen in homeless services fraud, prosecutors say

Three are charged at nonprofits that received taxpayer funds via L.A. agency.

By Brittany Mejia

Federal authorities on Wednesday arrested three people employed at Los Angeles-area homeless nonprofits, including one who allegedly misappropriated more than \$7.5 million in taxpayer funds and used it to finance the construction of a nightclub and adjacent bingo hall.

Michael Young, 46, a founder of the Culver City-based nonprofit Home At Last; Lakiya Malone, 48, an employee of Special Service for Groups; and Donye Mitchell, 55, the chief executive and director of the Big Blue Umbrella, an L.A.-based nonprofit, were arrested as part of a federal crackdown targeting homelessness corruption.

Young and Malone have not yet appeared in court to enter pleas in response to the charges. Their attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Young, who is charged with wire fraud, allegedly spent more than a million dollars in taxpayer money to open and operate a high-end restaurant and nightclub in Inglewood called Six Seven Five Lounge. He also allegedly misused millions in taxpayer funds on luxury vacations, vintage car restorations and commercial properties unrelated to homeless housing.

"The taxpayers did not sign up to fund this nightclub," Assistant Atty. Gen. Colin M. McDonald of the Justice Department's National Fraud Enforcement Division said at a news conference Wednesday. "To those defrauding taxpayer-funded programs created to support vulnerable Americans, know this: Your momentary fraud fling will not be worth it."

According to a criminal complaint, Young used shell corporations and fraudulent billing practices to misappropriate funds intended for homeless housing, including through programs administered by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.

LAHSA, which paid the nonprofit more than \$75 million for homeless housing services, canceled its contracts with Home At Last in June, according to the complaint.

A towering pine tree on Culver Drive in Irvine has become the site of a make-shift memorial for a car influencer and a young woman who were killed early Sunday morning in a fiery crash so violent that the luxury sports car they were riding in split into two pieces.

In the hours before the crash, Wehr and Kramer reportedly spent time in Newport Beach having dinner, according to published reports.

Newport Beach police confirmed to The Times that Wehr was stopped by an officer on Saturday night, roughly five hours before the crash.

Wehr was driving near Newport Boulevard and Finley Avenue at 7:21 p.m. Saturday when an officer "observed a vehicle with a loud exhaust" and initiated a traffic stop, according to Newport Beach police spokesperson Heather Rangel.

Caruso, Bass appear together at Palisades event

Billionaire stops well short of endorsing his former rival. Mayor sidesteps question too.

By Noah Goldberg

Mayor Karen Bass and billionaire developer Rick Caruso appeared together at a groundbreaking for the new Palisades Recreation Center on Tuesday, in a sign that the sometimes icy relationship between the two 2022 mayoral rivals is thawing.

Bass is now in a fight for reelection against challenger Nithya Raman. Caruso was complimentary of the mayor's leadership at the groundbreaking for the new center, which will replace one destroyed in the 2025 Palisades fire.

“What was important about the mayor's leadership is she rallied the troops together in the city. She set out to break new ground by forming this massive public-private partnership that has never been done before,” Caruso said, adding that the mayor is a “great leader.”

But pressed by reporters on whether he would endorse Bass for reelection, Caruso demurred, calling both Bass and Councilmember Raman “tough choices.”

“I don’t think either option is great,” Caruso said.

Bass sidestepped the question when The Times asked her whether she would welcome Caruso's endorsement, saying the groundbreaking ceremony was "not political." An aide cut her off before the mayor could say more.

Bass beat Caruso by nearly 10 percentage points in the 2022 election, even after Caruso spent more than \$100 million of his own fortune on his doomed campaign.

Many thought Caruso would challenge Bass for re-election this year, as he continued to publicly criticize the mayor.

Caruso's son and daughter lost their homes in the Palisades fire. He has called reporting from The Times that cited sources who said Bass softened the findings of an after-action report about the fire an “absolute outrage.”

"Karen Bass actively covered up a report meant to examine the most significant disaster in Los Angeles history," he said. "This is a complete loss of public trust and an intentional act of covering up the actions that led to people dying."

He eventually decided not to try for a second time, opening a path for Raman to make her last-minute bid. At the time, Caruso said he was "deeply disappointed to step back from an election I believe is so critical to Califor-

nia's future."

On Tuesday, he struck a brighter tone as he and the mayor celebrated breaking ground on the recreation center, which will include sports fields, tennis courts and a gym.

The center will be built using 100% philanthropic donations from more than half a dozen groups — including Caruso's nonprofit,

Lakers coach JJ Redick, whose nonprofit LA Strong Sports joined in the rec center's rebuilding and fundraising drive, compared Bass and Caruso's relationship to an imperfect connection on a sports team.

“Let's be honest, connections are not always perfect,” he said. “But I'm grateful that myself, Rick Caruso, Mayor Bass and her office, that we could all be connected on this project.”

Despite Caruso's qualms with Bass' tenure as mayor, he has softened toward the mayor as the election has approached — potentially signaling he might endorse her over a challenge from Bass' left.

Caruso said Tuesday he hadn't given much thought to endorsing and said he was meeting with Raman soon to discuss her run.

Caruso, a former Republican who registered as a Democrat in 2022, could help Bass attract more conservative voters who may have voted for Spencer Pratt or tech entrepreneur Adam Miller in the primary but are now up for grabs.

But Caruso's support could also potentially dent her standing with more liberal voters.

Caruso has started talking more online and on the news about the Democratic Socialists of America, a left-wing group that endorsed Raman for mayor.

“DSA policies will not solve LA’s problems,” he posted on X on Monday. “They will only make them worse. Los Angeles deserves common sense solutions.”

MORE THAN 40 dead seabirds washed ashore in Venice Beach over the weekend.

A wave of dead cormorants washes ashore at Venice Beach

BY NOAH HAGGERTY AND CAROLINE PETROW-Cohen

More than 40 dead cormorants, the black birds known for perching on rocks and stretching their wings to dry, washed ashore on Venice Beach over the weekend.

“We don’t usually see that many,” said Nicole Mooradian, spokesperson for the L.A. County Department of Beaches and Harbors.

Carcasses lay strewn along the shoreline as the beach brimmed with week-

Since last fall, an influx of dead and emaciated seabirds washing up on California beaches has had the attention of wildlife experts. They say many of the deaths are probably tied to lack of food — an extreme marine heat wave is causing fish, the birds' prey, to travel north or deeper underwater. Parasites and infections are also thought to be contributing

Sailor admits he sold drugs on Navy ship in Southland

County employees found the dead birds Sunday morning and worked into the afternoon clearing them.

ANOTHER sailor serving aboard the Abraham Lincoln died after taking a fentanyl-laced pill in 2023.

BY FEDOR ZARKHIN end activity. Swimmers and loungers largely ignored them.

A sailor dealing drugs aboard the San Diego-based USS Abraham Lincoln continued to deal to other crew members even after one person ingested a fentanyl-laced pill and died, the U.S. Department of Justice said.

Bailey Szramowski, 29, pleaded guilty Monday in federal court to selling counterfeit oxycodone pills on the aircraft carrier, the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of California said in a statement.

According to Szramowski's federal criminal complaint, a man identified in court documents by his initials, A.N., died of a fentanyl overdose Jan. 3, 2023, while on leave and staying in a recreational vehicle in San Leandro, Calif. Ten days later, another sailor aboard the aircraft carrier was hospitalized for a drug overdose and was given Narcan, a medication that stops the effects of opioids.

That man, identified in court records by his initials, C.L., told investigators Szramowski sold him three pills the day of his overdose. He also told them that Szramowski and the sailor who had died of an overdose had been “actively selling” pills to sailors for about a year.

Szramowski was quick to try to cover up his tracks, according to the criminal complaint.

Szramowski told the deceased man's aunt, uncle and former fiancee to delete the text messages between him and the victim, telling them that he could "go down for murder," the three people told investigators, according to court records.

The former fiancee told investigators that the victim had told her he'd bought 10 pills from Szramowski for \$100 and that, after his

factors.

fiancee that he'd given him the fentanyl-laced pills, she told investigators, according to court records.

Szramowski's spouse and fellow former sailor Johnnese Poomaihealani, 25, was also included in the Feb. 14, 2025, indictment and also pleaded guilty to selling counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl.

According to a U.S. Department of Justice news release, Poomaihealani and Szramowski called the second overdose victim after his overdose and told him to tell police he'd gotten the pills from the sailor who died.

Szramowski and Poomaihealani are scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 11. Szramowski faces five to 40 years in federal prison and Poomaihealani faces up to 20 years, the Justice Department said.

The cause of death for this weekend's cormorants is unknown. The county Department of Public Health said that by the time it was able to evaluate reports of the dead birds, the animals had been removed.

It saw no elevated risk to the public.

There are three species of cormorants in Southern California: double-crested, Brandt's and pelagic. They dive for fish, and only their neck and head stick out of the water when they swim. Up close, their eyes are very colorful.

Typically, when dead seabirds are found, the Department of Beaches and Harbors has its crews photograph them and, if requested, transport them to local wildlife organizations for analysis. If the department is short-staffed, however, it discards the animals through its “normal disposal services.”

That's what happened this weekend.

Bird flu has not been identified as a driver of the recent die-off, but the detection of the disease among marine life in the Bay Area this spring prompted the California Department of Public Health to advise the public to stay 150 feet away from all marine animals and seabirds when possible.

If you see a debilitated seabird, do not touch it, attempt to feed it, remove any embedded fishing hooks or take photographs with it, the California Fish and Wildlife Department advises.

If the seabird is stranded, contact a local wildlife rehabilitation facility. Dead birds can be reported to California Fish and Wildlife.

Pursuit of stolen Tesla ends on San Diego boardwalk; pedestrian injured

By Summer Lin

A man driving a stolen Tesla led police on a chase in San Diego on Monday afternoon that ended on a boardwalk, where the driver hit a pedestrian, according to authorities.

Around 12:19 p.m., San Diego police officers responded to a report of a stolen Tesla, according to a Police Department news release.

Officers spotted the vehicle around 12:31 p.m., with 39-year-old Juan Gonzaba behind the wheel, driving south on Mission Boulevard, according to the release. Gonzaba allegedly refused to stop for officers and then led police on a pursuit.

During the chase, Gonzaba hit an electrical transformer and then drove onto the boardwalk from Pacific Beach Drive, speeding near pedestrians, according to the release.

Gonzaba allegedly hit one pedestrian, who was

hospitalized for serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Gonzaba then allegedly fled on foot but nearby pedestrians detained him until officers arrived and arrested him, according to the release.

Gonzaba was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, causing bodily injury, hit-and-run involving death/injury, vehicle theft and felony evading a peace officer with disregard for safety, police said.

Alex Srour told CBS 8 that he was riding his bike on the boardwalk when he heard someone scream, "Watch out."

Srour said Gonzaba plowed through the boardwalk and hit his bike, according to the TV station. After Gonzaba got out of the vehicle and attempted to flee, Srour chased him and tackled him to the ground.

Srour also took out his phone and started recording Gonzaba as he was attempting to run away.

“I kind of had a feeling he’s gonna run,” Srour told CBS 8. “Because who is not going to run after doing that stuff? Unless they’re hurt. He just gets out of his car. So I’m just thinking ... ‘This guy’s going to run.’ I instantly just step in. And chase after him. If I didn’t have my Birkenstocks on, it would be a lot easier to get after him. I threw them off halfway. ... That’s how it all happened. Got on top of him and started screaming at his face. Like ... ‘this is so

wrong.' "

According to video footage of the chase obtained by the TV station, a blue Tesla could be seen speeding down the boardwalk. People walking on the boardwalk narrowly evaded getting hit, with one woman jumping over the railing just in time before the car sped by.

After Gonzaba was stopped, video footage shows him on the ground, wearing a shirt that reads: "F—around and find out."

A history of service and risk for traffic coverage

Nick UT Associated Press
A HELICOPTER crash in 1977 killed KNBC pilot Francis Gary Powers, who once worked for the CIA.

[Morrison, from B1] on it. From his “Airwatch” pilot seat, Captain Max guided Angelenos through their traffic tangles, and more. He helped rescue people trapped in the Baldwin Hills dam collapse and helped police track fleeing criminals — just the way present-day news pilots do.

“Watch your driving, folks,” he would tell the lookie-loos, “and leave the accidents to us.”

His high-tech resource was the bulky but immensely helpful Thomas Bros. guide to the streets and highways of Southern California.

In July 1958, engine failure not long after takeoff forced him to the ground. He headed toward a schoolyard but when he spotted kids, he swerved and crashlanded into a tree. The reporter who was with him never flew again, and Captain Max ended up with a gallant-looking limp.

His new station, KMPC, published a comic book about his derring-do, "The True Adventures of Capt. Max." The cover showed

him valiantly at the controls, flames leaping toward the landing skids, with a description of him flying over “searing forest fires, over raging flood waters ... to aid the police, the fire department, and the people of Los Angeles.”

Schumacher was flying toward Dodger Stadium on Aug. 30, 1966, looking for someone supposedly firing a gun nearby. So too was his friend LAPD helicopter pilot Alex N. Ilnicki.

The two men often kept in touch about their sorties, but not this time. Their Bell helicopters collided midair, sending flaming wreckage above the heads of horrified drivers on the Pasadena Freeway. Schumacher's Thomas Bros. guide was found in the wreckage.

The pilots and three passengers were killed. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that sun glare had blinded both pilots. In the wake of the crash, the Professional Helicopter Pilots Assn., now nicknamed SoCal Rotors, was formed.

Americans in the 1960s knew Francis Gary Powers as the CIA pilot of a secret U-2 spy plane shot down in 1960 over Soviet Russia, who was exchanged in a prisoner swap in 1962, during the peak of the Cold War.

In the 1970s, Angelenos came to know Powers as an aerial traffic pilot. He had worked briefly as a Lockheed test pilot before flying a plane for KGIL radio and then a helicopter for KNBC news.

Around midday on Mon- day, Aug. 1, 1977, his KNBC news helicopter crashed in a field at the Sepulveda Dam recreation area in Encino. Powers and cameraman George Spears were killed. Police said Powers may have deliberately brought his plane down where he did to avoid kids playing softball nearby.

The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the crash was caused by “needless mismanagement of fuel.”

But Lange remembers the crash and the likely

reason for it.

"He was brand new with us and we trained him on helicopter," she said. "He'd flown to Santa Barbara covering a fire, and he had the tape and was in a hurry to get it back in time" for the newscast.

"He had low gas but made the decision that he had enough to get back," she continued. "But he didn't remember how loaded our helicopter was with [video] equipment, and it was much, much heavier than he thought."

Early in the morning of June 4, 1986, at the Fullerton airport, Bruce Wayne, KFI radio's veteran "Eye in the Sky," took off in his blue and white Cessna. It crashed.

His wife, Lois, stoically drove to the site and spent more than two hours on the air with KFI talking about the accident and her husband.

Wayne had been Bruce Alford, Boston's first flying traffic reporter, in 1961. When he moved to California, he changed his name in homage to the "Batman" character he admired.

NTSB investigators couldn't fix an exact cause for the crash. They found some compression loss in an engine cylinder, and that Wayne had a blood-alcohol level of 0.04, the Federal Aviation Administration's level for legal intoxication. Lois Wayne said he had had two glasses of wine the night before and was in bed by 9 p.m. Wayne also had serious hypertension problems.

KFI asked listeners to turn on their car headlights that day in tribute.

Lange was hired in 1967 as “Dawn O’Day,” the morning traffic reporter for KABC radio. A Los Angeles Times magazine article described her as an “ashblonde nymph.”

The sky was a frontier, and a macho one. Even though she was reporting on the radio, Lange had to dress in a girdle-tight silver catsuit and silver boots, with a big round patch over her left breast reading "KABC Ladybirds." The suit added a glamour factor for bigwig sponsors who would sometimes ride along.

NBC4 reports while grieving

[NBC, from B1] the air with that ... and we see this large plume of smoke, and realize something else has happened."

"Just a couple blocks away, our helicopter went down, it crashed," Williams said.

"One person in the parking lot was killed, and two people on board the chopper also lost their lives. It's just so difficult to comprehend."

Moreno and Marciniw were referred to as “the eyes and ears in the sky,” according to NBC4. The pair first began flying together in 2023 and worked to cover stories including police pursuits and the 2025 L.A. County wildfires.

Moreno was from Orange County and graduated from Chapman University with a degree in broadcast journalism and political science. She had been flying in news choppers since 2010. She was engaged to be married.

Moreno was known as "Eli in the heli" on Instagram and reported for NBCLA and Telemundo 52.

Marciniw also grew up in Southern California and graduated from Burbank High in 1974, NBC4 said. He worked as a flight instructor for aspiring pilots.

According to a flight instructor profile, Marciniw was a helicopter flight instructor for more than 30 years and had flown 14,000 hours. His base was listed as Whiteman Airport in Pacoima and he was affiliated with Pacific Rotorways Helicopter Training.

KAYLA BARTKOWSKI Los Angeles Times
THE HELICOPTER crash Tuesday killed Eliana Moreno, George Marciniw and a person on the ground.

Marciniw's Facebook profile describes him as a pilot with experience in aerial filming, surveillance, flight instruction and helicopter management.

Helicopters are a vital part of news gathering in Southern California, helping chronicle brush fires, mass shootings and, of course, police pursuits.

The cause of the NBC4 crash is unknown.

NBC4 said the chopper was operated by Angel City Air.

The chopper went down between two commercial buildings in the 9100 block of Mason Avenue around 7 p.m.

KCAL reporter Desmond Shaw told anchor Pat Harvey about the horror of coming on the scene immediately after the crash.

“I just looked at it and I immediately knew what we were looking at,” he told Harvey.

He said he knew he had to put his emotions aside and report the story. He said his phone immediate filled with calls and texts from people checking on him. "I am shell-shocked," he said.

In 1977, Francis Gary Powers was killed in a helicopter crash in Encino while working as a “Telecopter” reporter for KNBC.

Powers and a KNBC cameraman, George Spears, were returning from covering brush fires north of Santa Barbara when the helicopter Powers was piloting crashed into an open field near the Sepulveda Dam, carving a 21-foot-long gouge in the ground and killing both men.

According to The Times' archives, Powers was a “conservative flier” who, on his final flight, ran out of fuel.

Powers was a figure in Cold War history. While employed as a U-2 spy plane pilot for the CIA, Powers was shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960.

In 2000, a Fox 11 helicopter covering the Academy Awards crashed and burst into flames at Van Nuys Airport. The pilot reported mechanical difficulties moments before the crash in the southeast corner of the airport, The Times reported at the time. A television helicopter pilot from a competing station who overheard emergency radio transmissions from the helicopter said the craft was headed for the Shrine Auditorium just after 10 p.m. when the pilot reported a loss of hydraulic power.

At the end of Tuesday's news conference featuring several local leaders, KNBC reporter Robert Kovacik, who was kneeling in the front row out of sight from the cameras, stood up and leaned over the tape line. A feed from KCAL-TV showed Mayor Karen Bass recognized him and came over and gave him a long hug.

L.A. County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, whose district includes Chatsworth, and members of the Los Angeles Fire Department also could be seen speaking with and hugging Kovacik and other NBC4 journalists on the scene.

Landscape is shifting on parents' right to notification

[Parents, from B1]

same notification rules applied to the use of bathrooms or participation in sports.

State Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta immediately challenged that policy in court, and it was put on hold. In October 2024, Sachs had ruled that most of the policy was discriminatory — and therefore illegal — because it singled out a group of students for treatment that was different than the treatment of other students.

As an example, he cited the possibility that a student would come out confidentially to a school counselor—and then that counselor would immediately be required to alert the parents, even against the student's wishes.

A policy that could result in mandated actions by a school employee continues to conflict with the intent of a 2025 California law that bars school systems from forcing teachers to tell parents about a student's gender, Sachs concluded.

“That’s inappropriate and it’s still inappropriate,” Sachs said Tuesday.

What has changed in the legal landscape, he added, is what happens when a parent requests information about their child's gender status or sexual orientation or any number of other matters affecting that child.

New rules and new rulings

Trial court rulings — affirmed by a Supreme Court majority in March — said parents have the right to demand information about their child's gender identity at school. School staff cannot lie to parents — including about issues a student wishes to conceal from their parents.

Attorney Emily Rae, representing Chino Valley, said that Sachs was correct to acknowledge that parents had the right to information about their child, but that his ruling did not go nearly far enough — and that parent notification should be mandatory statewide.

Chino Valley also has a separate pending court challenge to the 2025 law, contending it is at odds with the direction of the Supreme

Court, which should take precedence.

Deputy Atty. Gen. Delbert Tran, representing the state, declined to be interviewed Tuesday, but in his exchanges with Sachs, it was clear that he saw the ruling as about as much of a win as would be possible, given the Supreme Court's recent directives.

He also said supporters of parent-notification policies misstate or misunderstand the parent-teacher relationship that exists in practice and under state law. Parents, he said, have the legal right to observe classes and meet with teachers, and the expectation is that teachers will communicate freely and often with parents about a child's needs and progress.

District champions its view on rights

Chino Valley, a school district of 26,000 students in San Bernardino County, has adopted and defended a series of policies favored by parent activists, religious conservatives and President Trump under the leadership of school board President Sonja Shaw, a Republican running for the office of state superintendent of public instruction.

Under her leadership, the school system has taken a stand for a flag-ban policy in schools and classrooms, widely viewed as targeting gay pride flags; for removing school library books with passages deemed to be sexually obscene; and for working to ban trans athletes from girls' sports and girls' locker rooms.

Shaw attended Tuesday's hearing and criticized Sachs' reasoning.

"When he talks about a parent has a right to know now only if they ask, how do you know you're being lied to or secrets being kept?" Shaw said after the hearing. "That absolutely makes no sense."

Shaw said the judge should have done “what’s right: Upheld parents’ constitutional right to the upbringing of their own child.”

In anticipation of Sachs' ruling against the original policy, the Chino Valley school board revised the policy, expanding it to all students. Under the current policy, if any student “requests a change to their official or unofficial records, parents/guardians shall be notified to ensure that parents/guardians are informed and involved in all aspects of their child’s education.”

In other words, if a straight male student named William decided he wanted to be referred to as Robert on the class roll sheet — an official record — his parents would be notified.

In 2024, Sachs accepted this version of notification because students were not treated differently on the basis of their gender.

That form of the policy remains in effect.

Since that time, Shaw said, the district has been “transparent” with parents regarding important issues in the lives of their children. And Tuesday’s ruling would not change that.

Moving forward, she added, the district could assertively ask parents whether they want to be informed about their child's gender identity and that permission — if given — would continue to apply as the student proceeds through grade school.

On her first day on the job, Lange was hazed by a fellow traffic reporter, who told her about a big accident on the 405 Freeway at Wilshire Boulevard. En route, Lange kept warning listeners about it. But when she got there, “there was nothing.”

The voice of the colleague who pranked her came back into her headphones. "See, Ladybird, you should have stayed in the kitchen."

The skies had an element of free-for-all then.

“We’d fly out of White-man air park [in Pacoima] back then, and they didn’t have a [traffic control] tower,” she said. “The only way we could land is by watching the shadows on the ground to see if any other planes were coming in or going out.

"I'm amazed I lived through it."

The incident that prompted her to quit flying — and turn down more offers to stay aloft — happened in a fixed-wing plane.

Lange said her pilot had to dodge another plane coming at them, performed a “flip” and was able to set down at Van Nuys Airport. He was shaken and crying. Lange marched into the terminal.

“I called my KABC radio boss at home and told him I had to resign,” she recalled. “He said, ‘Why?’ and I told him. He said, ‘When?’ and I looked at my watch and said, ‘Six minutes ago.’”

One traffic and news pilot, Captain Max's successor Jim Hicklin, was killed more or less in the line of duty. Lange had been getting scurrilous letters that Hicklin and other aerial reporters were also receiving, from a man accusing them — but Hicklin in particular — of buzzing his house incessantly and of committing “moral offenses.”

She dumped hers in the trash. Hicklin made the mistake of answering, telling the man to stop. In April 1973, the city was pursuing misdemeanor charges against the sender, and Hicklin had been warned off appearing on a KMPC Christmas parade float because someone had threatened to shoot him.

That month, Hicklin announced on the air the details of a cruise he and his wife were taking. The letter writer boarded the cruise ship and fatally shot Hicklin in the head.

Aerial reporters possess a peculiar intimacy with listeners, their voices and visuals filling cars and houses with their personalities as well as useful, even startling, real-time information. In 1994, the New Yorker printed a piece headlined "Hot Pursuit" about this breed of journalists.

It centered on the work of aerial reporters Marika and Zoey Tur, who had tracked O.J. Simpson's white Bronco along its slow-speed freeway escape. From about 75 feet above Florence and Normandie avenues during the 1992 Los Angeles riots, they broadcast live the shocking images of a truck driver yanked from his cab and being beaten nearly to death by angry residents.

The writer described the singularly Los Angeles role of such people, working in this “spread-out, skyscraperless city where perpetual rush hours thwart would-be roving reporters.”

Families mourn 2 killed in explosive O.C. crash

[Irvine, from B1]

Police Department, told The Times. “You need to have sufficient speed to be able to do that.”

Police said the person behind the wheel of the McLaren, which was heading north on Culver Drive, stopped at a red light on Deerfield Avenue just before the crash. When the light turned green, the driver accelerated quickly, leaving behind dark tire marks on the intersection pavement. The speed limit on that stretch of Culver Drive is 50 mph.

As the driver lost control, the sports car veered to the right, jumped a curb and slammed into the tree, splitting the car in two and causing it to burst into flames, police said.

Irvine's wide streets for years have provided a prime location for speeding, street racing and takeovers — sometimes with devastating results. Residents have long complained about a proliferation of high-powered cars racing down the city's major thoroughfares, peeling out and doing doughnuts, and drivers revving their engines into the early-morning hours.

“Irvine has these long, very straight streets,” Ol-doerp said. “At night it’s like a wide open freeway.”

cars paused to gaze at the memorial.

Wehr, who was born in Australia, made a name for himself in Orange County as the co-founder of South OC Cars & Coffee, which he ran with his dad, Simon. The meetup, billed as the biggest weekly car show in the world, frequently draws hundreds of vehicles to the Outlets at San Clemente, including hypercars, supercars, hot rods, muscle cars and motorcycles.

"It's too soon," Wehr's mother, Sarah Wehr, wrote in post on social media for her son. "We brought you into this world at 2:36 a.m. on Aug. 17, 1999, and watched you grow into the magnificent man you are. Your love for people, for your friends and your family, was second to none. I remember your first steps at our home in Perth, Australia.

"I remember everything. All of it. Your insanely great belly laugh and your cheeky smile. Thank you for all the years we were blessed to know and love you, James," she wrote.

Orange County records show Wehr had been ticketed for more than a dozen vehicle code violations, starting in 2017. This year, he was ticketed on four occasions for alleged violations including failing to display license plates, not having his registration card and proof of insurance, and not having a working muffler, according to court records.

Getting the opportunity to love you will always be the greatest blessing in my life," she wrote. "Like I said in my vows, I'm so grateful to have gotten the chance to live my life at the same time that you lived yours. Whether it's in this lifetime or the next, my heart will always find its way to you. Rest easy, my love."

The most serious allegation was in 2023, when he was accused of driving at more than 100 mph. He pleaded not guilty, and the infraction was dismissed in 2024, court records show.

Wehr's relationship with Kramer, the other victim of Sunday's crash, is unclear.

Wehr married his wife, Emma, in July 2025 at the Grand Gimeno venue in Old Towne Orange. The couple met in college and dated for three years before getting engaged on a cliff in Ibiza, Spain, according to the couple's wedding website.

The Police Department has cracked down on speeding and street racing in recent years using drones and other technology to nab offenders, Oldoerp said.

past weekend."

Kramer was also a model for the 2026 Hooters calendar, according to her Instagram bio.

Her sister wrote in a post on social media that Kramer was “so much more than just my best friend, she was all of my love, my heart, my attitude, and my humor wrapped into a smaller, more chaotic, less filtered package. She was my other half.”

The tribute featured photos of the sisters as kids at a pumpkin patch and celebrating Kramer's birthday at a Japanese steakhouse.

In 2020, the department, along with other police agencies, formed the Orange County Street Racing/Takeover Enforcement Team to ramp up enforcement. In 2016, the city made 19 arrests and issued 195 citations for street racing and reckless driving. In 2021, officers made 25 arrests and issued 309 citations, according to city data.

"It was always just the two of us," Kaitlin Kramer wrote. "When either of us were going through hard times we were always curled up in each other's beds just trying to figure it out together. I don't know how to figure this one out without her."

Kramer's sister, Kaitlin, wrote on social media that Wehr had told the 22-year-old that he was "almost fully divorced and extremely separated." A family member told the California Post that Wehr had invited Kramer to California to meet after the pair had been talking on Instagram for about a month.

“We enforce traffic laws throughout the city,” Oldoerp said, adding that the department is “very aggressive with street racing.”

At the same time, the number of annual traffic collisions declined from 590 in 2016 to 93 in 2021, data show.

The inferno that resulted from Sunday's crash was so large that it burned shrubs planted on the other side of the sidewalk, several feet away from where the car hit the tree. On Tuesday, a silver cross on a long chain hung from the pine tree's bark, which was peeling and blackened from the blaze. Passersby on foot and in

Emma Wehr posted a series of photos on Instagram over the weekend in honor of her husband. Her account has since been made private.

Eileen Alice Hueston, 85, of Newport Beach, CA, passed away peacefully at home on September 9, 2026, with her family by her side.

Born at home in Brooklyn, NY, on July 31, 1941, she was the youngest of six children of Patrick Joseph and Mary Brennan Campbell, Irish immigrants who had met in a Dublin orphanage. A high school graduate who chose to work to support her parents instead of attending college, Eileen made education her focus when she later raised her five sons. She taught each child to read before entering school to provide them with the head start that was impossible in her childhood home.

Nonprofit employees accused of misappropriating LAHSA funds

[Fraud, from B1]

MICHAEL YOUNG is accused of spending millions in taxpayer funds on vacations and other expenses.

said it canceled the contracts “after strong evidence of wrongdoing emerged and HAL failed to meet its contractual obligations.”

The agency noted that it has actively cooperated with federal investigators on the case, and that LAHSA personnel are not implicated in any wrongdoing.

"We appreciate DOJ's efforts to hold these bad actors accountable and remain committed to ensuring that every recovered taxpayer dollar goes back to its intended purpose: saving the lives of unhoused Angelenos," the statement said.

Last year, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors voted to remove county funds from LAHSA and set up its own department. It came in the wake of two critical audits that found LAHSA, a joint city-county agency, failed to properly track its funds and programs, leaving them vulnerable to waste and fraud.

At the Wednesday news conference, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner slammed LAHSA as having “a failing record.”

“LAHSA has continually funded the homeless industrial complex on the backs of American taxpayers while fraud has continually run rampant,” he said.

Malone was charged in a 21-count indictment accusing her of taking more than \$180,000 in bribes and kickbacks from Alexander Soofer, who was the executive director of the nonprofit Abundant Blessings. Soofer was charged this year and has agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud and money laundering.

According to the indictment, Malone allegedly provided priority referrals of homeless housing participants, including “ghost” participants who never stayed or received services at Abundant Blessings sites.

In a statement, Special Service for Groups, the nonprofit organization where Malone was employed, which is a separate entity from LAHSA, said that it has put in place prevention protocols and compliance practices, and that the organization “has taken further steps to strengthen them.”

“Every dollar entrusted to us — federal, state, local, or private — must be protected and used as intended,” the statement read.

Federal authorities allege Mitchell was fraudulently awarded more than \$1.2 million in grant money from a Los Angeles County-funded nonprofit.

Mitchell, who is charged with wire fraud, allegedly used the money for personal expenses, including paying his own bail bond costs after a 2024 arrest on suspicion of domestic violence and assault, inflated salary payments, credit card debt, family transfers, rent and PlayStation charges.

"The scale and brazenness of these fraudsters expose a profound failure by the State of California and Los Angeles County to safeguard public funds," First Assistant U.S. Atty. Bill Essayli said in a statement.

“Taxpayers deserve accountability. We will follow the money, expose the corruption, and prosecute those who exploit the American people for personal gain.”

Times staff writer Andrew Khouri contributed to this report.

Rockell N. Hankin April 12, 1947 - August 28, 2026

Rockell Nathan Hankin, beloved husband, father, friend, business executive and longtime chairman of The Kavli Foundation, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2026, surrounded by his wife and children.

Rock led a long and successful career, rising from one of the youngest partners to managing partner of Price Waterhouse's Warner Center office in Los Angeles. He went on to chair the boards of The Kavli Foundation, Kavlico and Semtech, and served on more than a dozen other corporate boards. He also taught entrepreneurship and corporate governance at UNC Charlotte and USC School of Law.

When her marriage ended with four boys still at home, Eileen needed to work to support the family but wanted to continue to serve as a full-time mother. She took a bookkeeping position with the local school district for the practical reason that its hours let her see her sons off in the morning and be there when they came home. Despite no training or experience for the position, she excelled and used the income to keep her family in Newport Beach so that her boys would not lose their schools or their teams. She came straight from work to every game. Unable to afford the team dinners wealthier families hosted, she canvassed local businesses for water polo fundraiser donations so her sons would stand on equal ground. And she took a second job every Christmas, even long after the house had emptied, to create special moments despite lean budgets.

Rock was a firm believer that basic science research could benefit all humanity. Of his many endeavors, he felt that the opportunity to support basic science research through his service to The Kavli Foundation was the most profound. Rock's leadership shaped the foundation's development over more than 20 years, including more than a decade as board chair. He was instrumental in the creation of the Kavli Institutes and The Kavli Prize, a global scientific honor.

Throughout his life, Rock loved adventure and staying active. Among his favorite activities were racquetball and aviation. He was a certified pilot and particularly enjoyed flying and taking his family on adventures in his single engine planes.

Most of all, Rock was a devoted family man. He cared deeply for his wife, Lisa. He was incredibly proud of their two children, Kathyrine and Rocky, both of whom are pursuing graduate degrees. He is also survived by his brother Theodore Hankin.

In honor of Rock and his lasting legacy, there will be a celebration of life. Associates should reach out to The Kavli Foundation. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Rock's memory to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) or the Hoag Hospital Foundation.

Her ambitions for her sons ran past anything she had been offered herself. One went to Dartmouth; three were recruited to play water polo in college, and Neil started for UCLA's national championship team. Grandchildren were her later joy — the granddaughters especially, for a mother of five boys.

Eileen was preceded in death by her parents and her brothers, Patrick, John and Robert. She is survived by her siblings, Gerald (Marian) of Pompton Plains, NJ, and Mary Ann Campbell Maecker of Colorado Springs, CO; her brothers' widows, Brighid Campbell and Pam Campbell; her beloved sons, John (Mabelle), Brian (Gina), Scott, Charles (Jodi), and Neil (Nikki); her grandchildren, Taran, Ronnie, Kinsale, Shea, Brendan, Natalie, Bailey, Presley, and Miles; and her nieces and nephews, Kathy Hamill (Chris), Trish Horodnik (Bo), Maureen Campbell, Brian (Susan) Maecker, and Alison Campbell, and their children, Aidan, Liam, Kyle, Meghan, Ryan and Evan.

Family first, big dreams for her sons, and a fighter for every one of them.

A celebration of life will be held September 27 at 10:00 a.m. at Pacific View Memorial Park & Mortuary in Newport Beach, CA.

Cadet clearing way to success

Marshall quarterback trains at all hours in his pursuit of playing football at next level.

BY ERIC SONDHEIMER

It's New Year's Eve in Windsor Hills, and Nathaniel Cadet has decided this is not the time to party. He pushes a button for alpine mode on his treadmill and starts a 45-minute workout. Then he goes outside after midnight — as firecrackers are going off and rain is drizzling — to jump rope.

What kind of teenager isn't playing video games, cracking open bottles of sparkling apple cider or sleeping at midnight on New Year's Eve?

The one who has dreams to fulfill.

With a 4.7 grade-point average and an unyielding determination to play football at the next level, Cadet is leaving nothing for chance. The L.A. Marshall High senior quarterback will do anything to get better. He's gone to camps, taken lessons from private coaches, run at the beach, trained in the early morning and late at night to keep his dream alive.

"I want to set the tone for the rest of the year," he said of his commitment to training.

SENIOR Nathaniel Cadet “set the tone” for year by training on New Year’s Eve.

“Whatever will advance my career the most,” he said.

The 6-foot, 170-pound quarterback has helped Marshall to a 3-0 start with 460 yards passing and nine touchdowns. During the morning, he works out. During the afternoon, he works out. During the evening after practice, he works out. If he's doing

THIS WEEK'S TOP PREP FOOTBALL GAMES

FRIDAY

Orange Lutheran (3-1) at Sierra Canyon (3-0), 7 p.m. This game should be one of the best this season. The battle in the trenches will be memorable, with Orange Lutheran's offensive line, led by Texas-bound Lucas Rhoa, taking on Sierra Canyon's outstanding defensive line that includes former Lancer Marcus Fakatou, who wears No. 99. The team that can best run the ball to set up the passing game will win. The pick: Sierra Canyon.

JSerra (3-1) at Bishop Amat (4-0), 7 p.m.

As impressive as Bishop Amat has looked, taking on a Trinity League team won't be easy. JSerra has size on both the offensive and defensive lines and continues to improve with three straight wins after losing to Sierra Canyon in the opener. The pick: JSerra.

homework from midnight to 3 a.m., it's nothing unusual. It's a balancing act and he loves it.

He joined the track team last spring with the intention to get faster. His 40-yard time is 4.6 seconds.

"I need to get faster in my drops and just build that foundation that I need to be able to get better," Cadet said.

If you haven't noticed yet, Cadet is motivated to take his skills and work

ethic as far as they can go and won't let anyone put up a roadblock to stop him.

Jose Razo spent 17 years as an assistant coach at Marshall before becoming head coach in 2024. He said there's been few quarterbacks in school history with Cadet's talent.

“He’s doing things we haven’t seen in a long time at Marshall,” Razo said. “He’s just trying to get an opportunity to show what he can do. His lack of attention [from college recruiters] doesn't deter him. Whomever gets him will be lucky. He elevates everyone around him."

Let's get back to the midnight workout. What was he thinking?

"My parents were asleep in their room," he said. "My brother was in his room. I was watching the ball drop in New York because I have a lot of family on the East Coast. Then once it did drop, because that was three hours prior to us here, I was thinking, 'What can I do knowing how good I have to get to set off my year right?'

"I didn't get the idea from anywhere. I just thought why wait until the next day or the day after when I could get to work right now at the start of the year."

Cadet hasn't stopped working since then.

He's no party pooper, but he's on a mission to succeed. Getting faster and stronger takes priority no matter the time, no matter the place, no matter the situation.

Free entry to Bruins

[UCLA, from B10]

[USA, from Bio] Wednesday's changes are intended to increase attendance and entice others to pay to join students in the stands.

In 2025, the Bruins recorded their worst home attendance at the Rose Bowl since the team moved there in 1982, averaging 37,282 spectators per game — far below the stadium's capacity of 92,542. The Rose Bowl has not averaged more than 60,000 spectators in a single season since 2016 and has failed to attract more than 50,000 since 2018.

Harris was keen on improving the fan presence at Chesney's first Rose Bowl game, donating 300 tickets to fans for last week's game against San Diego. Ken Graiwer, chief executive of Champion of Westwood, responded by matching Harris' donation, giving away 600 tickets.

UCLA announced the scan count for Saturday's game rather than a tickets-distributed figure commonly used by teams, providing an accurate tally of people inside the Rose Bowl, according to the California Post.

On Sept. 9, Harris and the athletic department announced the “Fours Up, Fans First” initiative, designed to strengthen the connection between supporters and all of the Bruin sports programs while also improving the football game-day experience at the Rose Bowl.

The campaign is centered around the BruWin Rewards program — a new fan loyalty initiative constructed to reward spectators throughout the year, giving fans the opportunity to earn points that can be redeemed for exclusive rewards, experiences and prizes. Other aspects of the initiative include fan-friendly ticket pricing, pregame concerts for tailgaters and Bruin legends calling the team to the field before every home game.

While UCLA's home football attendance was an obvious sore point, the average turnout at Pauley Pavilion for men's basketball games was not much better.

The Bruins averaged 7,036 spectators for their home contests, among the lowest in the Big Ten.

With Pauley Pavilion's location on campus and its proximity to students, men's basketball could be the biggest benefactor of the change, giving the Bruins a competitive home atmosphere for more than just the biggest games of the season — although the athletic department will have to determine how tickets will be allotted for UCLA versus USC, which traditionally draws a sold-out crowd.

Harris, a former Lakers executive and UCLA alum, was originally brought in to consult on the department's budget. After Jarmond was fired, Harris was appointed on a pro bono basis ahead of a search to fill the role.

However, before UCLA's Week 1 victory over California, UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenck posted a photo identifying Harris as the "permanent" chief executive and athletic director of the department.

FARMER'S NFL WEEK 2 PICKS

Los Angeles Times NFL writer Sam Farmer examines the matchups this week. Lines according to FanDuel Sportsbook (O/U = over/under). Last week's record was 7-9 (.438). Using point spreads with the scores Farmer predicted, his record against the spread last week would have been 3-13 (.231). TV channels are for the Los Angeles area. Times Pacific.

LIONS (1-0) AT BILLS (1-0)

Tonight, 5:15. TV: Amazon Prime Video Line: Bills by $4^{1/2}$ . O/U: $53^{1/2}$ . Buffalo's home open comes off a hard

fought win over Houston, and Josh Allen is playing well. Detroit is dealing with some injuries along the offensive line. Bills do enough to limit the damage Jahmyr Gibbs can do. Pick: Bills 28, Lions 24

PANTHERS (0-1) AT FALCONS (0-1)

Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: NFL Ticket. Line: Panthers by $1^{1/2}$ . O/U: $43^{1/2}$ .

Carolina gave up 59 points last week but at least the Panthers scored 37. Cooper Rush isn't a bad placeholder at quarterback for the Falcons until Michael Penix Jr. is ready to take over. Pick: Panthers 24, Falcons 21

VIKINGS (1-0) AT BEARS (1-0)

EAGLES (1-0) AT TITANS (0-1)

Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: NFL Ticket. Line: Eagles by 7. O/U: 39 $^{1/2}$ .

Philadelphia looked a little rusty at times last week, though the offensive line looked good and the Eagles came away with a win. Tennessee is among the three worst teams in the league, so this won't be especially close. Pick: Eagles 34, Titans 20

STEELERS (1-0) AT PATRIOTS (0-1)

Pick: Patriots 24, Steelers 18

PACKERS (0-1) AT JETS (1-0)

Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: NFL Ticket. Line: Packers by 3 $^{1/2}$ , O/U: 44 $^{1/2}$ . Beware of the Jets here. Their offensive line is really solid and they ran the ball well in Week 1. Granted, it was against the Titans. Jordan Love is a lot better than Cam Ward. Pick: Packers 24, Jets 21

BROWNS (0-1) AT BUCCANEERS (0-1)

Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: NFL Ticket. Line: Buccaneers by 8½. O/U: 40½. No great quarterback options for the Browns, and Tampa Bay's defense should bounce back aft giving up 33 to Ohio's other team. Baker Mayfield will protect the ball better than he did in the opener. Pick: Buccaneers 31, Browns 17

SAINTS (0-1) AT RAVENS (1-0)

Line: Ravens by $8^{1/2}$ . O/U: $47^{1/2}$ . Baltimore's roster is mostly intact from last season and is playing with renewed energy. New Orleans moves the ball behind Tyler Shough, but turnovers and a leaky defense can only take you so far. Pick: Ravens 27, Saints 21

BENGALS (1-0) AT TEXANS (0-1)

Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: NFL Ticket. Line: Texans by 3. O/U: 46½. It's hard to imagine Houston and that top-tier defense starting 0-2. Joe Burrow is an excellent passer, and Cincinnati's defense looks improved. Still, Houston just hung close with the mighty Bills. Pick: Texans 28, Bengals 23

JAGUARS (1-0) AT BRONCOS (0-1)

Sunday, 1:05 p.m. TV: NFL Ticket. Line: Broncos by 2½. O/U: 44½. Little tough to gauge Jacksonville's 34-10 win last week because the Jaguars were playing the Browns. But the Jaguars are looking solid already. Pick: Broncos 24, Jaguars 21

RAIDERS (1-0) AT CHARGERS (0-1)

Sunday, 1:05 p.m. TV: CBS. Line: Chargers by 7. O/U: 43½. The Chargers didn't do anything particularly well last week, and the Raiders beat Miami by two touchdowns. Division game, so this figures to be close. Pick: Chargers 27, Raiders 23

COMMANDERS (0-1) AT COWBOYS (0-1)

Sunday, 1:25 p.m. TV: NFL Ticket. Line: Cowboys by 3½. O/U: 50½. The NFC East looks like it's going to be especially knotted this season. These two teams are pretty evenly matched, but give the Cowboys with their receivers a slight edge. Pick: Cowboys 27, Commanders 23

SEAHAWKS (1-0) AT CARDINALS (1-0)

Sunday, 1:25 p.m. TV: NFL Ticket. Line: Seahawks by 4½. O/U: 4½. This is a scary one for the defending Super Bowl champs because they don't have their starting quarterback, and the Cardinals are legit. Pick: Seahawks 24, Cardinals 20

MIAMI (0-1) AT 49ERS (1-0)

Sunday, 1:25 p.m. TV: Fox. Line: 49ers by 13½. O/U: 45½. San Francisco looks phenomenal early. Key leaders such as George Kittle, Fred Warner and Nick Bosa are healthy and motivated after the team had so many walking wounded last year. Pick: 49ers 38, Dolphins 13

COLTS (0-1) AT CHIEFS (1-0)

Sunday, 5:20 p.m. TV: NBC. Line: Chiefs by 6½. O/U: 47½. Kansas City's ground game was dangerous in Week 1, taking pressure off Patrick Mahomes, recovering from a torn ACL. The Colts should be better after running into a Baltimore buzzsaw. Pick: Chiefs 27, Colts 21

GIANTS (1-0) AT RAMS (0-1)

Monday, 5:15 p.m. TV: ABC, ESPN. Line: Rams by 7½. O/U: 48½. The Rams figure to be locked in and fuming after an embarrassing opener in Australia. No Myles Garrett, but Aaron Donald should make his return to an already stacked line. Pick: Rams 27, Giants 24

Sputtering offense needs work

a touchdown.

tory for the 49ers.

[Rams, from B10]

But that's no excuse for the Rams' dreadful performance on offense against the 49ers.

The Rams' first play proved an omen: 49ers linebacker Fred Warner nearly intercepted Stafford's pass.

Stafford, an 18th-year pro, never found his rhythm. He completed only 15 of 25 passes for 155 yards. The 49ers turned a second-quarter interception into a touchdown drive.

That doesn't mean the ability of 38-year-old Stafford appears to be falling off a cliff.

It was one game. He was out of sync.

A player who is rewriting the NFL record book is more likely to come back and torch the Giants than to have two poor performances in a row.

“Plenty of stuff to clean up,” Stafford said. “Things to look at. We’ll make sure we’ll be ready to roll.”

The offense works best when running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum are gaining yardage in chunks, and McVay is calling plays that create space for receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams to make routine and sometimes spectacular catches.

Corum rushed for a team-best 54 yards, Williams had 41 yards and a touchdown.

Neither got an opportunity when the Rams faced a critical fourth-and-goal situation at the one-yard line. Neither did Nacua, who nearly scored on a catch the play before.

Or Adams, who led the NFL with 14 touchdown catches last season, 11 from 10 yards or closer, including four from the one-yard line.

Instead, McVay called for a quarterback sneak.

The 49ers stopped Stafford short of the goal line, and the 49ers subsequently drove 99 yards for

Nacua, the NFL receptions leader last season, and Adams combined for eight catches for 100 yards, far below their typical performances.

And don't forget the tight ends.

McVay, apparently, did just that.

About midway through the 2025 season, the Rams began regularly deploying as many as three tight ends at a time — and using them as targets. Colby Parkinson became one of Stafford's primary targets and scored eight touchdowns, quadrupling his previous career best.

The Rams began this season with second-year pro Terrance Ferguson poised for a breakout.

Parkinson and Davis Allen each caught one pass, Ferguson none. Veteran Tyler Higbee caught two passes, but lost a fumble that all but sealed the vic-

With 11 days between games, McVay, his staff and the players are intent on avoiding a repeat performance.

"The big area of focus improvement will be in regard to the pass game and some of the different things that we can do collectively," McVay said. "It always starts with me."

The defeat by the 49ers was only the third time in 10 seasons that McVay lost a season opener.

Only once under McVay have the Rams started with two losses: In 2024, after losing in overtime at Detroit, the Arizona Cardinals routed them 41-10.

That team rebounded from a 1-4 start to reach the NFC divisional round.

That won't be good enough for this Rams team, which was built to win Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium.

With an offense now in need of a restart.

NFL REPORT

Colts' Allen will face charges

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Indianapolis Colts receiver Keenan Allen will face two misdemeanor charges in an alleged drunken driving incident, according to court records.

The former Charger and six-time Pro Bowl player was formally charged Tuesday with operating a vehicle with alcohol concentration equivalent to 0.15 or more and operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

He posted \$500 cash bond, and his attorneys waived an initial hearing that had been scheduled for Wednesday. An attorney conference is set for Oct. 26.

Colts coach Shane Steichen declined to address the latest twist before Wednesday's practice, at which Allen was expected to be a participant. Allen has not addressed the incident publicly.

Jets' Fitzpatrick, Cooper sit out

New York Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. did not practice Wednesday because of injuries and coach Aaron

Glenn said they are “week to week.”

Fitzpatrick injured his groin early in the Jets' season-opening 23-10 win at Tennessee last Sunday. Cooper, a first-round draft pick, also left with an ankle injury after his 30-yard catch-and-run on New York's opening touchdown drive.

When asked if Fitzpatrick and Cooper are candidates for the injured reserve list, which would sideline them a minimum of four weeks, Glenn said: "Not as of now."

San Francisco 49ers rookie receiver De'Zhaun Stribling is expected to miss at least two months after undergoing surgery on his injured left ankle. Stribling got hurt in the season opener last week against the Rams and coach Kyle Shanahan said that he opted for surgery. The 49ers also placed backup tight end Jake Tonges on injured reserve with a season-ending knee injury that required surgery on a torn MCL. ... Kyler Murray was well enough to join the Minnesota Vikings for practice on a limited basis, leaving open the possibility he could progress through the NFL concussion protocol to play on Sunday. Whether Murray is able to start at Chicago or Carson Wentz continues running the offense, the quarterback will be without his leading rusher: Jordan Mason was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return because of a broken thumb. ... Atlanta Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski reiterated that he's not ready to announce a starting quarterback for Sunday's home opener against Carolina, Cooper Rush's one-week hold on the job is in jeopardy. Michael Penix Jr. may be close to reclaiming his role as the starter, especially since Tua Tagovailoa was held out on Wednesday after leaving practice on Thursday with an oblique injury. Penix did not play in the preseason as he continues his recovery from a torn ligament in his left knee that ended his 2025 season. ... Steichen announced Wednesday that linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither will have the "green dot" radio helmet Sunday night in Kansas City. ... Dylan Sampson (left knee) was placed on IR by the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday.

x-clinched division z-clinched playoff berth

The right-hander goes six strong innings before the outfielder breaks a tie with a home run to beat Seattle.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ryan Johnson pitched six strong innings, Josh Lowe hit a tiebreaking home run and the Angels beat the Seattle Mariners 2-1 on Tuesday night at Angel Stadium.

Vaughn Grissom had an RBI double and Johnson (5-8) gave up one run and six hits with seven strikeouts and no walks. He won consecutive starts for the first time in his career.

Julio Rodríguez had an RBI double for the Mariners and Logan Gilbert gave up two runs and six hits over six innings. Gilbert (12-10) fanned seven in his first outing since becoming the first Seattle pitcher with double-digit strikeouts in consecutive starts since 2018.

The Mariners (70-82) dropped their third straight game, clinching their first losing record in a full season since 2019. They also had a losing mark during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

The Angels finally broke through in a pitchers' duel in the fifth. Wade Meckler hit a two-out single and scored when Grissom followed with a double to left field.

The Mariners responded immediately. Dominic Canzone led off the sixth against Johnson with a triple to left field and scored on a one-out double to left-center by Rodríguez.

The Angels regained the lead in the bottom half when Lowe hit a one-out homer to right-center against Gilbert, his 12th of 2026.

Tayler Saucedo followed Johnson with a scoreless seventh inning and José Fermin did not surrender a run in the eighth despite getting hit in the foot with Canzone's comebacker that ended up as a groundout.

Ryan Watson pitched the ninth to earn his third save and second with the Angels.

After coming within one victory of reaching its first World Series last season, Seattle is nearing elimination from playoff contention.

TEOSCAR Hernández gestures as he rounds the bases after hitting a two-run homer in the Dodgers' victory.

Dodgers swinging into position

[Dodgers, from B10]

delay his front hip from opening, according to Dodgers hitting coach Aaron Bates. But the team's hitting group thought a return to a familiar setup could be a long-term solution.

“It was a great meeting we had,” Bates said. “We all talked about it, and then he felt comfortable enough to do it, and then the rest is to his credit. He’s just been who he is.”

In the past, Hernández had used a “twister tap” as his stride. He started in a more open stance, tapped his toe in line with the pitcher, and then set his foot down. But lower-body injuries the last couple of years — a left groin strain last season and a left hamstring strain earlier this season — forced him away from it.

His improved health and hip flexibility opened the avenue for him to return to that timing mechanism.

"When Teo's hips are loose that way, and his front leg looks like an Elvis knee, it's a good sign for us," Bates said. "Because that means that he can open and close it without his upper body going with it."

going to be a strike or a ball."

The advantage of the twister tap, as Hernández explained it, is how repeatable it is. A more traditional stride can be sped up or slowed down.

"Just being able to control my body and being in a good position," Hernández said earlier this month. "I can see the pitch a little sooner and identify what kind of pitch it is and if it's

With that change, he's rewarded the Dodgers for deciding against platooning left field. Hernández entered Tuesday with a .777 OPS against right-handed pitchers — a sample size of just 28 plate appearances but still a significant jump.

"The biggest thing is his plate coverage away," Bates said. "Because now he can spoil pitches, and he's staying in at-bats longer."

Hernández's dramatic offensive turnaround, along with fellow corner outfielder Kyle Tucker's improvement, have helped steady a Dodgers offense that's missing Shohei Ohtani (on the IL with right biceps and left knee injuries) and includes a hobbled Freddie Freeman (right knee soreness).

Rookie Josue De Paula, mostly filling in for Ohtani at designated hitter, has already shown he can take mature at-bats and provide some pop. But he's still finding his footing in a new league.

It lengthens the Dodgers lineup for Hernández, after a slow start to his year, to return to being a veteran power threat — just in time to, ideally, carry the momentum into the postseason.

On Monday, he launched his two-run shot off left-hander Nick Lodolo. On Tuesday, he replicated the feat off right-hander Rhett Lowder.

On the second pitch of the at-bat, Hernández recognized a hung slider, and he roped it over the left-field fence at 109.3 mph, according to Statcast. The blast put the Dodgers up 3-0 in the third inning, with Dodgers starter Yamamoto settling into a groove on the other side.

Yamamoto had walked the first two batters he faced, but he reined in his control to pitch seven scoreless innings and allow just one more baserunner — a double by Reds star shortstop Elly De La Cruz.

The Dodgers also scored on Hunter Feduccia's second-inning single and Alex Freeland's seventh-inning homer. And the Dodgers bullpen completed the shut-out.

Freeman stays in starting lineup

Freeman was all smiles after his three-hit game Tuesday — after going hit-less for his last four games.

“I was supposed to be off tomorrow, but I played myself in there,” he said. “So I’m very excited.”

Roberts explained: “He was joking, saying, ‘If I get three hits, then can I be in there tomorrow?’ ”

Sure enough, the mechanical adjustments he made in the batting cage — focusing on getting his foot down early and making contact out in front — got him there.

"I'm just trying to find something that gives me results," Freeman said. "We're at the time where we're just trying to get hot for five weeks here. So kind of like I did in the World Series a couple years ago, I did the step-out move. That's not sustainable over six months.

I'm not trying to find something that's sustainable."

Though Roberts has been trying to find opportunities to rest Freeman, he saw promising signs Tuesday beyond the results.

"Just my eyes, just watching him move, I feel good about him going tomorrow," Roberts said.

De Paula, Freeland and third baseman Max Muncy would be out of the lineup Wednesday, Roberts said.

Snell leaves start early Wednesday

Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell left his start against the Reds on Wednesday after one inning, with what the team identified as left groin tightness.

Snell gave up one hit, a single to Sal Stewart, which he quickly erased with a successful pick-off that caught Stewart in an inning-ending rundown.

Snell threw 19 pitches. And Blake Treinen replaced him in the second inning.

Wednesday marked Snell's eighth start of the season. His 2026 debut was delayed by shoulder fatigue. After one start, he landed back on the injured list to undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow.

Since returning, he hasn't allowed more than one run in a start. Through Wednesday's short outing, Snell owns a 1.86 ERA.

Snell has a history of left groin and adductor strains. He spent time on the IL in 2021, 2022 and 2024 for such injuries.

Ducks give top scorer Gauthier six-year, \$81-million deal

Kyusung Gong Associated Press
CUTTER GAUTHIER'S new six-year contract will count \$13.5 million per season against the Ducks' cap.

WIRE REPORTS

The Ducks signed forward Cutter Gauthier to a six-year, \$81-million contract Tuesday night, getting the deal done on the eve of players reporting to training camp.

Gauthier, 22, was the most prominent restricted free agent still unsigned with two weeks left before the start of the season. He will count \$13.5 million against the salary cap through the 2031-32 season.

“We are pleased to get Cutter signed to a long-term deal and have him in camp on time,” general manager Pat Verbeek said in a statement announcing the contract. “He’s a major part of our young core: a pure goal-scoring talent that will continue progressing into an elite NHL player.”

Gauthier led the Ducks with 41 goals and 76 points last season and was also their leading scorer in the playoffs with four goals and eight assists, the fourth-most points (12) in a single playoff by a Ducks player 22

or younger.

"This is a very exciting day for my family and me," said Gauthier in the team's statement. "I'm so pleased to be able to sign long term with the Ducks and be part of what I believe is a great future."

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Ethan Del Mastro agreed to a \$1.9-million, two-year contract, the team said.... Dylan Larkin will not skate with the Detroit Red Wings when training camp starts on Thursday due to an upper-body injury, according to interim general manager Shawn Horcoff, who said Larkin was hurt earlier this week during off-ice training.... New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal is not expected to skate for the next two weeks after aggravating a previous injury, the team said on the eve of the start of training camp.... Veteran Buffalo Sabres forward Jason Zucker is expected to miss the start of the season after having surgery to repair a sports hernia.... The New Jersey Devils hired Jessica Camp

bell as manager of hockey development and Bryan McCabe as VP of prospect personnel and assistant general manager of the AHL's Utica Comets. ... Free agent enforcer Ryan Reaves said he is retiring from hockey at age 39 after playing more than a decade and a half in the NHL, leaving just three players left who do not wear a visor. Nashville's Ryan O'Reilly, Dallas' Jamie Benn and Minnesota's Zach Bogosian are the final remaining no- visor players. The NHL and NHL Players' Assn. agreed in 2013 to mandate visors for newcomers, grandfathering them in.

WTA Finals find spot in Charlotte

The WTA Finals, the elite season-ending event in women's tennis, will be held in Charlotte, N.C., for the next three years in a move that organizers hope will create “the Super Bowl for women's sports.”

The tournament will be played at the Spectrum Center, home of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets, the WTA and the Charlotte Sports Foundation announced. The announcement comes at a time of financial difficulty for the WTA after it announced in July that it was opting out of the final year of a three-year hosting arrangement with Saudi Arabia to move this year's Finals to Indian Wells.

The Atlantic Coast Conference's transition to a nine-game scheduling model leaves Clemson as the lone team playing eight games next year, a quirk of being the only power conference with an odd number of football-playing members. The ACC announced its league opponents for 2027.... Teams from the University of Miami will be wearing Nike apparel again starting in July 2027, a person familiar with the agreement said. The sides have struck a 10-year deal that will exceed \$200 million in total value, said the person., who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because neither side plans any public announcement.

Todd Boehly and fellow co-owner and Dodgers majority owner Mark Walter sold their stakes in Chelsea, handing full control to Clearlake Capital, the Premier League club said.

The Yankees returned right-handed pitcher Clarke Schmidt from his rehabilitation assignment and reinstated him from the injured list, following his 14-month recovery from elbow surgery.

... Minnesota Twins rookie shortstop Kaelen Culpepper was placed on the 10-day IL with a strained left hamstring, interrupting his promising debut. Culpepper was hurt while running out a double-play groundball in the sixth on Tuesday. ... St. Louis activated rookie second baseman JJ Wetherholt (right wrist tendinitis) from the 10-day IL.

NFL WEEK 2 :: RAMS VS. N.Y. GIANTS AT SOFI STADIUM, MONDAY, 5:15 P.M. | TV: ABC, ESPN

Doug Benc Associated Press
PUKA NACUA (12) led the NFL in receptions last season, but was held to five catches for 74 yards in the Rams' loss to the 49ers.

'PLENTY ... TO CLEAN UP'

Rams' shaky defense made headlines, but offense has a lot to fix too

BY GARY KLEIN

Don't be distracted.

In the aftermath of the Rams' humiliating season-opening defeat in Australia, the team's defense is dominating the news cycle: edge rusher Myles Garrett's knee surgery, lineman Aaron Donald's potential season debut.

But as coach Sean McVay prepares his team for Monday night's game against the New York Giants, the Super Bowl-favorite Rams' suddenly not-so-super offense also demands scrutiny.

Consider: Every starter is back from a unit that in 2025 led the NFL in offense and scoring, including quarterback Matthew Stafford, the reigning NFL most valuable player.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL quarterback sneak by Matthew Stafford late in the third quarter seemed to take the air out of the offense.
ASANKA BRENDON RATNAYAKE Associated Press

And yet the Rams managed just 190 yards and scored one touchdown in their 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

That's it.

It was the fewest points scored by the Rams since a 20-3 loss to the Green Bay Packers in November 2023.

The Rams' decision to arrive in Melbourne the day before the game appeared to leave them in a stupor.

Granted, 49ers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris knows McVay and the Rams well. Morris was the Rams' defensive coordinator from 2021-2023, and he is one of McVay's closest friends. In December, as the coach of the Atlanta Falcons, he schemed his team to a 27-24 victory over the Rams.

Back in swing of things in victory

With improved form, Teoscar Hernández hits home run to lift Dodgers over Reds.

BY MADDIE LEE

CINCINNATI — A simple change opened a dramatic offensive turnaround for Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernández.

Hernández's two-run homer Tuesday, in the Dodgers' 4-0 win against the Reds, was his second home run in as many nights, as the team trimmed its magic number to clinch the division to one behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto's seven innings of one-hit ball. And, significantly, this one was against a right-handed pitcher.

"It's been very helpful," manager Dave Roberts said after the game. "As certain guys are not seeing the ball as well, it's nice to kind of backfill with guys like Teo swinging the bat. And when you can slug like he can, you can win baseball games, and he can carry us for a while. And the last 10 days, something like that, it's been really good from him."

Through the end of August, Hernández had just a .668 OPS against right-handed pitchers this season. So, when Roberts was asked in Detroit whether the Dodgers would consider setting up a left-field platoon with the team's September call-ups, he said yes.

Hernández homered off Tigers left-hander Framber Valdez on the last day of the series. And before the Dodgers opened a three-game set against the Cardinals at Dodger Stadium, Hernández met with the hitting coaches.

UCLA home football, basketball games free for students

Bruins will receive no-cost tickets in school's effort to fill the Rose Bowl, Pauley Pavilion.

By Connor Dullinger

In a bid to pack the Rose Bowl and Pauley Pavilion, tickets to all UCLA home football and men's and women's basketball games will be free for undergraduate, graduate and extension students going forward, UCLA athletics announced Wednesday.

Previously, the Bruins had to purchase a Den Pass for \$199 to gain access to home football and men's basketball games. Students who have already purchased the Den Pass for the 2026-2027 academic year will be reimbursed.

BY MADDIE LEE a good shot at doing that and remaining healthy."

The Dodgers' pitching plans for the next couple weeks are in flux.

The trouble started as Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell threw in the Great American Ball Park bullpen before the game.

"I felt good all day, and then the second-to-last pitch of the bullpen, I threw a slider and then I felt it grab," Snell said of the groin tightness that ended up taking him out of the Dodgers' 6-2 loss to the Reds early. "So I was like, 'All right, let's see what we can do.'

With Snell guiding the ball without driving hard off his back leg, his velocity was down a tick or two through a 19-pitch first inning. He gave up one hit, a single to Sal Stewart, which he quickly erased with a successful pick-off that caught Stewart in an inning-ending run-down.

"I was going to try to get through five [innings]," he said, "but I just knew I didn't really have

In a conversation with manager Dave Roberts, pitching coach Mark Prior and head athletic trainer Thomas Albert, they all agreed the best course of action would be to pull Snell from the game. Right-handed reliever Blake Treinen replaced him in the second inning.

With only 10 games left in the season, it's unclear when Snell will be ready to pitch again.

"The next couple days are really going to decide," Snell said. "But I'd love to throw on my next [scheduled start day]. Either there or a couple days after. But definitely, I want to try to get one more in the regular season."

The Dodgers' loss marked Snell's eighth start of the season. His 2026 debut was delayed by shoulder fatigue. And then after one start, he landed back on the injured list to undergo arthroscopic

Since returning, he hasn't given up more than one run in a start. Through Wednesday, Snell has a 1.86 ERA. And he's a key member of the Dodgers' projected postseason rotation.

“I don’t think anyone can sit here right now and say what’s going to happen in the next week to 10 days,” Roberts said, noting that the team would decide whether to send him to get imaging after they returned to Los Angeles.

Snell has a history of left groin and adductor strains. He spent time on the IL in 2021, 2022 and 2024 for such injuries. He said this injury didn't feel nearly as severe as any of those.

"[In the past] I felt like that and then I kept pitching on two of them and strained both of them," he said. "One was a grade one, one was a grade two. So I'm definitely happy I stopped. ... I'm aware if I

After Snell left the game, the Dodgers used six relievers to get through seven innings. They combined to give up six runs and 12 hits, including a pair of home runs.

Left-hander Kris Bubic made his Dodgers debut in the eighth inning. In his first major-league appearance since mid-May, he allowed an infield single and recorded two strikeouts in a scoreless inning.

The Dodgers missed a chance to clinch the division with a win. And the Padres beat the Rockies on Wednesday to keep the division race mathematically alive.

So, the Dodgers will get another shot at champagne showers Wednesday when Justin Wrobleski takes the mound. The Dodgers optioned right-hander Bobby Miller after his 2 $^{1/3}$ innings Wednesday and plan to recall righty Landon Knack, Roberts said.

Though right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto and left-hander Tarik Skubal have been rounding into the best versions of themselves down the stretch, Snell's injury is the latest to deplete the ranks.

Right-hander Roki Sasaki (right middle finger blister) has been on the IL for almost three weeks. He threw a four-inning, 48-pitch live batting practice session Wednesday, with Dermabond on the sensitive area on his finger.

The Dodgers had planned to discuss how to deploy him when he returns from the IL, but after the game, Roberts said to “make sure guys have ample rest,” his next outing will be a start.

Right-hander Tyler Glasnow hit a rough patch in his last two starts but said his back, which sidelined him for three and a half months, "feels good."

Cal Raleigh had two hits and three RBIs, Josh Naylor had two hits and two RBIs and the Seattle Mariners kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 7-2 victory over the Angels on Wednesday night at Angel Stadium.

Randy Arozarena also walked, singled and scored three runs for Seattle, which is $5^{1/2}$ games behind Texas and Houston in the American League West and $6^{1/2}$ games behind the Chicago White Sox for the third AL wild-card spot with nine games left.

Doughty is named Kings' new captain

Drew Doughty was named captain of the Kings, inheriting the leadership position left vacant by Anze Kopitar's retirement.

Doughty, 36, is the 15th captain in team history. He served as an alternate captain since 2016-17, when Kopitar replaced Dustin Brown as captain.

Doughty is the franchise leader among defensemen in numerous categories, including goals, assists, points and games played and was a key piece in their Stanley Cup victories in 2012 and 2014. He will start preparations for his 19th NHL season when the Kings open training camp on Thursday.

“Being named captain of an NHL team is something I'm truly honored by, and it's something I take great pride in,” Doughty said in a statement released by the team.

The decision to elevate Dough-ty to the role comes less than four months after general manager Ken Holland said the Kings would not discuss a contract extension this offseason.

Doughty is entering the last season of an eight-year deal he signed in June 2018, but Holland indicated he wants Doughty to finish his career with the organization.

“He’s earned the right to have a lot of say in what happens, so I’m going to work with Drew,” Holland said on June 26. “He’s not worried about an extension, I’m not worried about an extension, and let’s just get more information about where things are at before we talk about going forward after the '26-27 season."

Forward Adrian Kempe and defenseman Mikey Anderson will continue to serve as alternate captains, while forward Artemi Panarin adds an “A” in his first full season with the Kings after being acquired in a trade from the New York Rangers in February to round out their leadership group.

Ally Sentnor, Ary Borges and Taylor Suarez scored in Angel City's 3-1 victory over the Seattle Reign at BMO Stadium.

Angel City (10-8-6) is unbeaten in its past four matches and now trails the Reign by just one point for the last spot in the NWSL playoffs. The loss snapped a three-game win streak for Seattle (11-9-4).

In the 18th minute, Angel City midfielder Maiara Niehue's volley attempt drew a handball on Seattle Reign midfielder Angharad James-Turner. Sentnor converted her second penalty kick in consecutive weeks to open the scoring.

Off a corner kick from defender Evelyn Shores in the 40th minute, an unmarked Borges headed it home to double the lead.

Within 30 seconds of subbing on, Suarez raced past multiple defenders and placed it in the side-netting for the 3-0 lead in the 81st minute.

Greek drama reset beckons

Sophocles' 'Antigone' is transposed to Aztec Empire in spectacular staging at Getty Villa.

Evelina Fernández's "Antigone: In the Language of Kings" receives a theatrically entrancing staging at the Getty Villa's Outdoor Theater in a production co-produced with Latino Theater Company.

The adaptation resets Sophocles' tragedy to Aztec culture in a transposition that is both visually and musically enlivening. If the drama is oversimplified, it nonetheless makes for a gripping spectacle.

It's not easy to find analogies that can reanimate the importance of burial rites to a modern audience. The production's creative team, led by the inexhaustibly inventive director José Luis Valenzuela, returns us to a world where the dead are owed sacred duties and the living are fearful to renege on this basic human responsibility.

THE CIRCUS HAS COME TO TOWN

Touring production of Broadway's ‘Water for Elephants’ brings its high-wire act to the Pantages: acrobats, puppets and all

BY JENELLE RILEY

t's never too late to run away and join the circus.

That's a major theme of the Tony-nominated musical "Water for Elephants," and living proof is on stage at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre an hour before the curtain rises on opening night.

The show — about a traveling circus — boasts an ensemble with as many acrobats as actors, all of whom must warm up prior to performing. This nightly routine is a show in and of itself, with acrobats stretching, tumbling and throwing one another in the air. Another ensemble member is juggling nearby as someone spins in a giant hoop at an unnatural speed.

The night includes a special treat: The company is breaking in a new piece of equipment known as the Chinese pole, a nearly 20-foot-high cylinder the performers climb up, slide down and generally defy laws of gravity on. This pole won't be used just yet—it arrives with a texture that can be slick or uneven, so the troupe must spend a couple weeks prepping it for better gripping and friction.

There's an almost comically blasé way in which the performers — who are used to such spectacles — go about their work an hour before thousands of audience members will gasp and clap at the same tricks. That's not to mention the gorgeous puppetry work done by another set of performers as the play reveals a series of detailed circus animals.

“It’s really fun to hear the audience react to this show,” says Serafina Walker, an actor and acrobat in the ensemble who also serves as circus captain. “There’s a lot of moments that come as a surprise — you can definitely hear the audience reaction, and that is what fuels us on stage as performers.”

Walker got into competitive gymnastics at the age of 3, and at 13 she began working with a Vermont-based traveling youth circus called Circus Smirkus. She graduated from École Nationale de Cirque in Montreal a year ago and is now on her first musical tour. She is one of several performers who play the roles known collectively as “Kinker & Roust,” slang terms for acrobats/aerialists and “roustabouts,” a.k.a. circus laborers. It’s a deceptively simple title for a role that will soon have her spinning from hoops and being thrown high into the air — not to mention singing, dancing and acting alongside the ensemble.

Walker is one of many performers who has to blend specialty skills with traditional acting to form one flawless company. [See ‘Elephants,’ E6]

Review KATIE WALSH

Shaking up the medieval action thriller

Paul Greengrass' signature style brings 'The Uprising' to jittery, explosive life.

Filmmaker Paul Greengrass is often associated with a cinematic aesthetic colloquially known as “shaky cam”—handheld cinematography enabled by lightweight digital cameras that function a lot like another character in the room, on foot, at eye-level, responding and reacting to action and dialogue the way a person would.

It's a style that has served him well in modern action thrillers like his installments of the “Bourne” franchise, and films depicting recent real-world events like “Captain Phillips” and “The Lost Bus.” Now, Greengrass applies his signature style to the Middle Ages — can shaky cam work in a medieval movie?

It may seem odd, but it's a brilliant creative choice when considering that while "The Uprising" is technically about the 1381 Peasants' Revolt in England, that's not really what it's about. It's about right now.

The shaky cam is intended to jolt us into that awareness. When we pick up with our protagonist, a pathetic ploughman (Andrew Garfield) living a grief-filled and wretched existence, a plague has wiped out half the population. A small group of men hoards wealth and resources, while the peasant class is heavily taxed, laws brutally enforced. As Greengrass lays out the bare facts of this situation with a cinematic style that's more news documentary than stuffy period piece, the parallels to our own current situation are laid bare.

"The Uprising," which Greengrass wrote and directed, is told in a fairly simple fashion, with an emphasis on visual storytelling and visceral sensation (the disparate English accents are also lost in the melee of the mob). All we need to know is that the council advising the 14-year-old King Richard II (Woody Norman) conspires while the young royal prays and his mother (Katherine Waterston) glowers. Outside, a bloodthirsty mob armed with farm tools marches on London, led in part by Garfield's ploughman, who started his own local uprising when he fought back against the taxman. He joins forces with Wat Tyler (Cosmo Jarvis), a former soldier, and John Ball (Jamie Bell), a priest deemed heretic, as the crowd demands an audience with the king.

ANDREW Garfield portrays an impoverished ploughman fed up with his village's plight in "The Uprising."

As the chaos unfolds, Greengrass doesn't pontificate on the morality of these events and, in fact, maintains a rather neutral stance on them for most of the film. A revolution is not right or wrong for most of “The Uprising.” It is simply inevitable under the conditions the film presents.

DIRECTOR Paul Greengrass, left, and Cosmo Jarvis. The film takes on the real-life 1381 Peasants' Revolt.

The ploughman wants to play by the rules, but it's how the revolt plays out that radicalizes him. While Greengrass shows us the uprising in all its messy confusion as the logical outcome of oppression, by following our protagonist as he witnesses treachery and deceit, Greengrass ultimately arrives at the belief that revolution is necessary, even in failure, and that freedom is worth more than anything.

The opening and closing of “The Uprising” are bracing and stark in their storytelling — the middle is a bit mushy and confusing. But it’s the performances that carry us through. Garfield,

'The Uprising'

Rated: R, for violence/bloody images Running time: 2 hours, 8 minutes Playing: In wide release

sensitive and earthy, is our bellwether as the events descend into bloody carnage. When he turns, we turn, and the anguish that Garfield wordlessly conveys is our compass.

Greengrass surrounds Garfield with actors who deliver bigger performances, like Jarvis as the brutish but shrewd Tyler, and Bell as the fervent Ball. Thomasin McKenzie plays a young woman, Alyce, steeped in her own trauma and loss, who attaches herself to the ploughman, and her ability to express wide-eyed, barely contained hysteria and fear is unmatched. Young Norman is riveting as the increasingly dastardly king.

The Peasants' Revolt of 1381 is a fascinating moment because it's a time when the notion of democracy wasn't even a twinkle in a feudal servant's eye. The mob's actions are frustrating because they're religiously bound to the king, who they believe is an emissary of God, and desperate to change their day-to-day existence. When those two instincts collide, it's bound to be complex and conflicting, and Greengrass delivers that with a boots-on-the-ground style.

The murkiness of it all clarifies by the end of the film, not just in terms of its heroes, villains and message, but Greengrass also situates this story within a recognizable cinematic and storytelling history. There's a thrill as it all comes together. Greengrass might be taking a big swing (of the scythe), but his blade finds its target nevertheless.

Toronto showcases indie talent

"VOICES" is a musical thriller set in 1967 Detroit and directed by Deanté Gray.

[Toronto, from E1] south. Typically, TIFF is a launchpad for awards contenders. But there are fewer high-profile Hollywood filmmakers this year than usual — which was also the case in Cannes. Perhaps these international festivals are testing their own waters to see if they're obliged to invite Americans to their party.

Instead, the Toronto line-up boasts pointed films about fascism. On its surface, Michaël R. Roskam's "Le Faux Soir" is a procedural account of how a network of rebels in occupied Belgium published its own parody issue of a pro-Nazi newspaper on the 25th anniversary of Armistice Day in 1943. Most of the script's energy goes to talking about type-setting and rotary press flongs, but right before the end credits roll, "Le Faux Soir" blurts out its timeliness about combating Le Fox News with comedy. Metaphorically alluding to the satirical newspaper the Onion, the narrator says that to pull off this operation, the team had to stick together like layers of an onion: "Never forget, onion is strength."

Plenty of local comedies abound, including “The Stunt Driver” by Michael Dowse (“Goon”), an energetic biopic about Ken “The Mad Canadian” Carter, the ’70s speedster who vowed to vault across the mile-wide river between Ottawa and New York in a rocket-powered Lincoln Continental. The site of Carter’s jump is four hours away from the fest, although at his car’s top speed of 280 mph, you could get there in less than one. Safer just to enjoy Jay Baruchel’s funny and endearing portrait of a reckless risk-taker who hates being called a daredevil as much as he resents Ben Foster’s Evel Knievel attempting to give him some advice. “Canadians are God’s chosen people,” Carter growls defiantly. “The last thing we need is a Yankee doodle dandy telling us how to do our jobs.”

It's also possible that this year's lack of big films — unlike 2025's “Frankenstein,” “The Smashing Machine” and “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” — is just a reflection of the industry's changing tides. Two of the buzziest guests at this year's fest have been Inde Navarrette of the micro-budget horror hit “Obsession,” which premiered at last year's TIFF, and British Columbia-born Hudson Williams of the TV hockey romance “Heated Rivalry.” Twelve months ago, both actors were anonymous Gen Zers who could have easily popped into Tim Hortons for a maple-glazed doughnut without causing a stir. Now they're stars.

Personally, I'm all for fresh talent. Audiences and critics alike are bored with film executives clinging to the same proven names and proven plots as tightly as worry beads. Yes, I'm hoping to see some Oscar contenders while I'm here and have my fingers crossed for a few movies I'll be seeing shortly. But for the sake of filmgoing at large, I'd be more thrilled to spot another under-the-radar "Obsession."

So far, I haven't found one. However, I have seen ingenuity made for peanuts, like Jenna Cato Bass' "Future Tense," a South African sci-fi drama about a travel service that allows the wealthy to blip back to the 1600s to hot tub under the clear skies before the land was ruined by centuries of trash, trade and colonization. Mismatched new couple Tara and Lwando (Kristen Raath and Lawrence Maleka) — she's white and sunny, he's Black and snide — take a blistering vacation that their relationship might not survive.

The script gets screwy in the last act, but Bass proves she can pull off a bold time-travel premise using only tastefully bland décor, gorgeous nature footage and a couple of menacing brutes with guns. As a bonus, Raath, her lead, has the spunk, charm and smile of Karen Allen, giving a breakout performance that's such a delight that you could almost swear the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" ingenue had leapt back four decades to star in the film.

While we're talking about pivotal moments in personal histories, nine years ago Deanté Gray was a rookie wide receiver for the Houston Texans. He tore his ACL in practice and, after muscling through that disappointment, is now a first-time feature director with "Voices," a lean and loud musical-thriller about thwarted dreams. Set in one tatty motel room in 1967 Detroit, "Voices" is a vicious flick about rising two soul acts hell-bent on getting on stage that night to impress Motown Records' Barry Gordy.

Technically, only the Harmony Brothers, Bubbles and Melvin (Joe Maye and Jamal R. Averett), are booked to play the gig. But a fame-hungry bellboy, Jordan (Francis C. Edemobi), and his cousin Derrick (Ezekiel Ajeigbe) hatch an impulsive, half-baked plan to perform in their rivals' place. Egged on by Derrick's ambitious girlfriend Mia (Raél Ba), who's angling to be the duo's opening act, this bad idea crescendos with a half-dozen original songs — and a body count.

The sound design of "Voices" is raw and the rumored \$50,000 budget so strapped that minor period piece inconsistencies like cheap plastic trash cans sneak into the frame. Who cares? Sam Buckner III and Charlie T. Savage's smart and surprising screenplay is crowded with scenes that let its cast shine. Someone — ideally, several people — in here will wind up getting their own major break.

Admittedly, I'm biased. Morbid musicals are one of my favorite micro-genres, from “Little Shop of Horors” and “All That Jazz” to “A Star Is Born” and “Cabaret.” (If you haven't seen Steve Martin's 1981 Depression-era hoofer “Pennies From Heaven,” do that this week.)

Add Theo Rhys' "Stuffed" to that list. Jodie Comer ("Killing Eve") plays a goth taxidermist; Harry Melling ("Pillion") is a lonely man terrified of dying, buried and forgotten. Can she convince the sad sack to kill himself now to become a piece of her collection?

The plot alone gives you the shivers, nodding to predatory internet meetups and that volatile mix of victimization and egomania that causes people to hurt themselves and/or others. Dark as the story is, though, co-writer Joss Holden-Rea's tunes are stunners with limber melodies and creatively off-kilter lyrics. "My past is still before me," Melling belts, picturing himself proudly mounted in a velvet suit with a bronze plaque.

“Stuffed” isn’t for everyone. But my fellow sickos are going to love this bleak and lovely tragicomedy once it sets sail from these shores (whatever they’re called by then) to a theater near you.

CHEETAH CHROME, 1955 - 2026

Guitarist for punk band Dead Boys

His trashy, thrashy playing wedded a new genre with older, sleazy rock 'n' roll.

By August Brown

Eugene O'Connor, the guitarist who performed as Cheetah Chrome in the pioneering punk band Dead Boys, has died. He was 71.

The band confirmed O'Connor's death in a post to Instagram on Monday. "We are incredibly sad to announce the news of the passing of our beloved friend and bandmate Cheetah Chrome," they wrote. "Cheetah was a true original, an architect of the punk rock movement, a one man hurricane tearing up the musical landscape with his feral guitar riffs and manic energy. Beyond all that Cheetah was also just a really sweet guy that loved rock-roll."

O'Connor, raised in Cleveland, first came to prominence as a member of the band Rocket From the Tombs in 1974. The group included David Thomas, who would later front the experimental rock act Pere Ubu, and several members of what would become the Dead Boys. O'Connor joined the group Frankenstein, with singer Stiv Bators and drummer Johnny Blitz, which quickly transitioned into Dead Boys, filled out with guitarist Jimmy Zero and bassist Jeff Magnum.

The title of their 1977 debut “Young, Loud and Snotty” summed up their aesthetic, embodied on teenage-kicks anthems like “Ain’t Nothin’ to Do” and the tawdry “Caught With the Meat in Your Mouth.” But the band, which had relocated to New York to play in its nascent punk scene alongside the Ramones and New York Dolls, stood out for flourishes like the heavy phaser in “Sonic Reducer.” Chrome’s trashy, thrashy playing wedded the urgency of punk with devotion to older, sleazy rock ‘n’ roll.

They released a second LP, “We Have Come for Your Children,” in 1978, before disbanding. Bators died in 1990, but the group sporadically reunited and toured in the decades after. The band appeared in several films, including the punk documentary “D.O.A.: A Right of Passage.” In the 2013 biopic film “CBGB,” Chrome was played by Rupert Grint (of Harry Potter fame).

With Chrome as its last original member, the band planned to tour for a 50th anniversary of “Young, Loud and Snotty” in 2027.

O'Connor, who lived in Nashville late in life, is survived by his wife, Anna, and his son Rogan.

'Practical Magic 2' casts a fun spell of nostalgia

The witchy sisters are back to explore the roots of their power. And have margaritas.

When remembering “Practical Magic,” Griffin Dunne’s 1998 silly-spooky witchy sister movie, the image immediately conjured has to be that of “midnight margaritas.” The scene of Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock, Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest — two generations of Owens sisters — dancing around a kitchen to Harry Nilsson’s “Coconut” while blending frozen cocktails is one of the most inexplicably indelible images of 1990s cinema, encapsulating the curious appeal of the film itself. The scene is goofy, weirdly enchanting and doesn’t entirely make sense, yet it’s a fun hang. That’s the whole deal with “Practical Magic” — it’s not that it’s a “good” movie, necessarily, but a fun one.

For lovers of the first film, the sequel, arriving 28 years later, will go down like one of those midnight margaritas. It hits all the familiar notes of the original, while expanding the lore considerably. Happily, Bullock and Kidman's chemistry hasn't waned. While Dunne's film, based on the 1995 book by Alice Hoffman, was an exploration of an unlikely coven of suburban PTA moms overcoming fear and prejudice, the sequel sees the Owens women exploring the roots of their power and trying to break the curse that keeps them single. Thanks to an ancestor who wished to never feel the agony of love again, any man an Owens woman falls in love with ends up dead.

High-strung herbalist Sally (Bullock) deals with this by walling herself off. Free-spirited Gillian (Kidman) never gets attached to any men, which was most of the drama in the first movie. But after the heartbreak she's experienced, Sally's had enough. She casts a spell that her daughters forget about magic and never practice again. But repression isn't a good plan when generations-long curses run in the bloodline, because Sally's daughter Kylie (Joey King), now a college student, has gone and fallen in love behind her mother's back. When a bad accident befalls her boyfriend (Xolo Maridueña), a confused Kylie sets off for England with a powerful spell book to try to fix things.

Director Susanne Bier takes the reins on “Practical Magic 2,” and she’s the ideal filmmaker to helm the picture, having shepherded Bullock through the post-apocalyptic horror film “Bird Box,” and Kidman through the Nantucket-set murder mystery series “The Perfect Couple.” She gets the frothy fantastical tone and brings some darker elements to the table as well. This is less “housewives with broomsticks” like the original and more “Harry Potter”-lite when it comes to witchcraft and wizardry, with mysterious visions and special effects (this may play like sacrilege for fans of the

lo-n charms of the original). Speaking of wizards: Lee Pace clocks in as the resident hot guy, an English expert in magic, whom Aunt Fran (Channing) recommends when Sally and Gillian chase Kylie across the pond. Sally, reluctant though she is, immediately connects with the tattooed professor, even if there is a red flag or two waving. But where's Gillian's man? Though her wild and wanton ways may have died with Jimmy Angelov (Goran Visnjic) in the first movie, she deserves to flirt too.

In a film with three pairs of sisters, one of them is always getting the short shrift, whether it's Gillian living the single life with her cat or a too-brief appearance from Aunt Jet (Wiest), or Antonia (Maisie Williams) saddled with the thankless task of guarding her sister's boyfriend's hospital bed while Kylie romps around the ruins of England breaking centuries-old curses.

But the magic remains, especially when it comes to Bullock, who once more is the heart of the film. She hasn't starred in a movie since 2022, and she's just as good as she always has been at conveying the emotion of this tale as the anguished and uptight Sally, who has built protective walls out of her anxiety. When her power breaks those walls down, we see that it comes from a place of deep love and loyalty to her family. She has to learn to live a little, but she wants her daughters to live a lot.

Is it a bit cheesy? It wouldn't be "Practical Magic 2" if it weren't. But the midnight margaritas are still flowing, and Bullock and Kidman haven't lost their touch yet.

15 events in L.A.'s literary scene

[Literary from E1] ings to be inaccessible, either too large in scope or too exclusive. But Vermont and Hillhurst avenues seemed just right for such events. The Los Feliz Writer Festival was born.

“Los Feliz is super artsy and filled with writers. It’s fun to organize one in the neighborhood,” says Ginsberg.

Ginsberg is weary of the well-trodden conversations about the New York literary scene, steeped in endless mythology. We may not have the New Yorker or the Paris Review, but we have each other. She notes there are millions of people in L.A. County. “I’m like, ‘We don’t need New York. We have people.’”

That scrappy DIY quality can make Los Angeles' literary community feel mysterious, even to the people living in it. A San Fernando Valley native, Ginsberg knows there's plenty happening around the city — you just have to know where to look.

"There's a lot of things going on, but you have to be in the know," she says. "It's happening in someone's living room because it costs so much money to book a venue."

In late August, Ginsberg organized the second annual Los Feliz Writer Festival, a sprawling collection of readings, workshops, parties and other literary miscellany. "Last year we did it, and it went really well," she says. "This year, it's even bigger and crazier and magical."

The festival is, in some ways, an extension of the community Ginsberg has been quietly building all year. Since October, she's hosted a weekly "Shut Up & Write" at Los Feliz watering hole the Big Bar at Alcove. "We have dinner and then write next to each other quietly," says Ginsberg. "You can see each other every week, and it's a natural, slow way to get to know people."

The Los Feliz Writer Festival kicked off with Poets Are the New Popstars, a reading-meets-house-party at a private home in Los Feliz. Over the course of the festival's 13 events, writers could attend personal essay workshops, receive tarot readings, and celebrate the 100th birthdays of Frank O'Hara, Allen Ginsberg and Harper Lee at East Hollywood bar Tabula Rasa. "I made these limited-edition official after-party zines with a poem and quote from the authors," says Ginsberg.

Ginsberg imagines the literary scene as a collaborative project. “For me, this is kind of like hipster ‘Dungeons & Dragons.’ I’m playing with my friends,” she says of the festival, which she plans to organize annually. In the future, the festival hopes to include

more diverse voices. “In the second year, we’re trying to open up the conversation,” she says. “We, too, believe that L.A. is for everyone and want it to be a writers festival for everyone.”

Christina Catherine Martinez, a critic, writer and comedian, has a more pointed take on the Los Angeles literary world.

“A lot of parties and readings, but not a lot of bylines,” she muses. “Substack IRL but still gunning for the traditional publishing deal — kind of an old world is dying, a new world is not yet born.”

Yet, Martinez welcomes the proliferation of readings that have emerged throughout the city. "I love that there are so many readings," she says. "Fifteen years ago the only time I mingled with other writers was at the yearly Artforum dinner, when the lit scene was bar-nacled to the art scene."

This fall, Los Angeles will host an eclectic mix of literary events, from readings by acclaimed novelists to intimate gatherings for emerging writers and readers. For those looking to immerse themselves in the city's burgeoning literary scene, here are 15 readings and literary events taking place across Los Angeles.

HOROSCOPE

By Holiday Mathis

Aries (March 21-April 19): One piece of your life will click into place today, and the rest of the day will go a little better because of it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You're still getting to know someone. Each angle informs, but none tell the whole story.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Because you really want the best for the group, you're trying to see projects with a more communal eye.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): The reason you pause before making even a seemingly small choice? You know how small things escalate, sometimes delightfully so.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today, you'll have an entirely different impression of things than the next person, and it's important to say your version.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There is a powerful pleasure in knocking down something that is smug, showy or acting superior. Today, a puffed-up claim may give you the opening.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE

BRIDGE

BY FRANK STEWART

I was in the club lounge with my friend the English professor when a player came to him with a puzzler: "Prof, what's the only English word ending in 'mt'?"

“Reminds me of a deal from my game today,” the prof mused. He wrote down today’s layout.

"My partner played at four spades. West took the K-A of clubs and led a trump. Partner drew trumps and led dummy's queen of hearts to finesse, and West took the king and returned a heart. Partner won and let the queen of diamonds ride, and East's king won. Down one."

After West showed a singleton spade and the A-K of clubs, East had at least one king, else West would have

ASKING ERIC

Dear Eric: My husband and I have had many wonderful trips with my parents over the years. We have always invited them on our family vacations with the kids and had a generally wonderful time.

They are both in their 80s. I'm grateful that they are still a big part of our lives and are both able to travel, but we have noticed significant changes in their behavior and mobility on the last couple of trips. Hyper-focusing on money, even though they are well-to-do and insisting they are fine to walk despite suggestions of taking Uber/Lyft or public transportation, making things uncomfortable for everyone.

© 2026 Tribune Content Agency

I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to not be able to do the things you're used to doing, so I thought perhaps the solution was to plan "parent friendly" trips with them that take into account their slower pace. (They're not aware these trips are any different than our usual trips.)

My husband and I love to walk cities and routinely walk 10 to 12 miles a day on trips. I am ready to have trips with just my husband and our adult kids, but I dread the uncomfortable conversations that are to come. Any suggestions on how to make this easier for them and me?

TRYING HARD TO BE A GOOD DAUGHTER acted over one spade. South should take only the jack of trumps and lead a low diamond from dummy. When East takes the king, South can pitch two hearts from his hand on the A-J of diamonds. If West had the king of diamonds, South could expect the heart finesse to win. "My partner was supposedly a good declarer," the prof told us. "I never dreamt he would go down."

You hold: ♠ A K Q 6 3 ♥ A 10 5 ♦ Q 5 ♣ 9 6 2. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one spade, he bids two clubs and you try a “fourth-suit” two hearts. Partner then bids three diamonds. What do you say?

Answer: Partner suggests six diamonds, four clubs and extra strength. With a minimum 6-4 hand, most would have rebid two

Dear Daughter: The impulse to create “parent friendly” trips is a kind one. And though it makes sense that you might not want to let them know you’re trying to plan around their changes in ability, talking openly about it and inviting them to be part of the planning itself might be a helpful next step.

As you plan your next trip, you may want to talk with your parents about your desire to do 10- to 12-mile walks and suggest that they, and perhaps other members of the family, come up with a plan for those days that makes them happy and meets them where they are. This could mean they'd join you for part of the day and then linger at a museum or a park. Or it could mean they do their own thing and then meet up with you for dinner.

The hope is to empower everyone to have the vacation they want. It's totally fine for part of the group to split off for part of the time.

Dear Eric: I have a question about social etiquette for how to handle my husband's small company work and/or holiday parties.

We have been together for 20 years, and his workplace is very aware of my shellfish allergy (which has become life-threatening). This became common knowledge the first time we were out together due to a simple mistake of cross-contamination diamonds. He may hold 4, 76, A K J 9 6 3, A K 7 5. Bid four diamonds if you're sure it's forcing, or bid six diamonds.

in the kitchen and, thank goodness, it was a mild reaction (lips/tongue swelling), but it was still quite scary and embarrassing for me.

For years, the owner of the company and his wife (who also works there) have made sure to keep shellfish off the menu. However, in the last three years, this has changed, and I'm seriously uncomfortable with this new situation. My husband is management, and his boss doesn't like it when people don't show up to his parties.

Yet we don't drink alcohol, and neither of us can eat anything, so I sit there feeling awkward, especially when I'm being pushed to eat/drink. Please help me before the next party.

No PARTY FOR ME

Dear Party: It's a little odd that the owner and his wife would suddenly stop being conscientious of your allergy. There could be a number of reasons so it may be useful for you to ask them. Alternatively, your husband might bring it up, as he's the person with whom they interact on a regular basis.

It's also possible that someone else has taken over party-planning duties. If you have a conversation with the owner, it's likely that this will come up and you can reach out to the new party planner.

Photographs by ARIANA DREHSLER For The Times

TYLER West, top, juggles onstage; actor, acrobat and circus captain Serafina Walker, above left; dance captain and Marlena understudy Summer Severin.

Co-choreographer Jesse Robb comes from a concert and theater background while his co-choreographer/circus designer Shana Carroll emerged from the circus world, having directed and choreographed for Cirque du Soleil. Carroll is also a cofounding artistic director of the acclaimed circus collective the 7 Fingers.

“What makes the collaboration so special is that we don’t simply bring our separate perspectives to the table — we truly meld into each other in the work,” Robb says. “The boundaries between circus, Broadway and concert language become fluid, and something new emerges from that intersection.”

Based on Sara Gruen's 2006 novel, “Water for Elephants” tells the story of Jacob Jankowski, a 93-year-old man who reflects on his time in the 1930s with a traveling circus. As a young veterinarian student, Jacob loses his parents in a tragic accident and jumps a moving train that just happens to belong to the Benzini Bros. Circus. He is hired by the owner and ringmaster August Rosenbluth, but complications ensue when Jacob falls for August’s wife, Marlena, as they work together to train a stubborn elephant named Rosie for their star act.

The story was adapted into a 2011 film before being reworked as a musical with music and lyrics by PigPen Theatre Company, a book by Rick Elice and directed by Jessica Stone. After an Atlanta run in 2023, “Water for Elephants” hit Broadway in March 2024, where it earned seven Tony nominations, including best musical. The first national tour is in Los Angeles through Sept. 27 before playing the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa Nov. 10-22.

Also displaying massive versatility is Summer Severin, who, in addition to being an ensemble swing member, serves as dance captain and understudies the role of Marlena. While Severin had an extensive background in acting, singing and dancing, she has found herself learning skills she never imagined, from standing on people's shoulders to aerial work.

"I've never trained in acrobatics or circus or anything," says Severin, who had to learn a trapeze act for her part as Marlena. Severin says she came in "completely raw" and took four weeks to learn the routine. And while one might think her background in movement helped, she says it actually provided a challenge. "That was the most difficult thing to learn because, as a dancer, you have such a relationship to the floor and you have to dance with an apparatus that doesn't quite move with you."

'Water for Elephants'

Where: Hollywood Pantages Theatre, 6233 Hollywood Blvd., L.A. When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays- Thursdays; 8 p.m. Fridays; 2 and 8 p.m. Saturdays; 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sundays. (Check schedule for exceptions.) Ends Sept. 27

Tickets: Start at \$49 (subject to change) Contact: broadayin hollywood.com or ticketmaster.com Running time: 2 hours, 20 minutes (including one intermission) The production also runs Nov. 10-Nov. 22 at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, 300 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa.scfta.org

Fortunately, Severin says everyone has been more than generous with their time and knowledge. “Circus performers are not gatekeepers in any way,” she notes. “They want to share what they love with everyone else, and it’s completely mutual. All of the different worlds [this show] bridges, it’s infectious.”

Co-choreographer Robb gives much of the credit for cast synchronicity and camaraderie to the director. "Our fearless leader, Jessica Stone, always believed that ‘Water for Elephants’ should feel like one company,” he says. “Everyone needed to feel like they were part of the same circus troupe traveling across the country. There weren’t separate camps of actors, circus artists, dancers, musicians, puppeteers or singers.”

This philosophy also extended to his collaboration with Carroll. Though they had both worked with Cirque du Soleil, the two had never met when they entered into what he jokingly calls “an arranged marriage.” Fortunately, it worked. “We were constantly looking for the place where our disciplines could overlap and strengthen one another. The whole production became an exercise in that same idea: Take what you know, learn what you don’t, and trust the people around you enough to try something new.”

It's one of the reasons the performers say they always feel safe, despite some of the death-defying acts seen on stage. While Walker admits two-show days can be tiring and she spends a lot of time concentrating on "energy conservation," the performance itself is a joy.

Severin agrees. “There’s never really scary moments,” she says. “You know somebody’s going to catch you. I trust all of these people with my life, every day. It’s built into the choreography. It’s built into the nature of the show.”

‘Antigone’ is spectacularly transposed to Aztec Empire

CASSIA DAVIS J. Paul Getty Trust
ANTIKONA (Esperanza América) is held by guards (Kevin Ortiz, left, and Pollo). She defies the emperor as she seeks to have her deceased warrior brother buried.

['Antigone,' from E1] ceeds like a pageant. Head-dress-clad warriors clash on the battlefield. A masked chorus, moving with the co-ordination of a Broadway musical ensemble, gives voice to the anxiety and grief of the collective. A statuesque figure of death, trailing black fabric, sweeps up the casualties of war with the efficiency of a human vacuum.

In Sophocles, Antigone, Oedipus' headstrong daughter, defies the edict issued by her uncle Creon, the newly deputized king, declaring that her slain brother Polynices is an enemy of the state and therefore ineligible for burial.

For Antigone this is an imposition of political power over divine law, and she puts her life on the line to uphold her obligation to her family and faith.

The German philosopher Hegel considered Sophocles' "Antigone" the high-water mark of tragedy for the way it dramatizes the collision between two equally justified moral positions. Creon, representing the claims of the polis over the clan, cannot be dismissed outright. Nor can Antigone, whose all-consuming identification with her cause renders her indifferent to other obligations, be adopted as a user-friendly hero.

Tragedy arises from the one-sidedness of their claims. Antigone loses her life and Creon, for all intents and purposes, destroys his own, suffering the deaths of his most cherished loved ones.

Hegel's reading of "Antigone" illustrates his thesis-antithesis-synthesis view of dialectical progress. Sophocles, it can be surmised from the other plays in his Oedipus cycle, likely conceived "Antigone" with a larger metaphysical design. But even if Hegel's interpretation would have seemed off the mark to him, Antigone and Creon are too complex to reduce to a schematic argument.

Fernández simplifies these antagonists. Her Antíkona (a formidable Esperanza América) reveals her softer side even when rejecting her sister, Ixmene (Alexis B. Santiago), for not having the courage to zealously join her fight.

Tlahtoani Klion (Cástulo Guerra), Emperor of Tenochtitlan, is a ruler so intoxicated with his own authority that he's clearly courting rebuke from the gods. It's only a matter of time before his hubris is slapped down.

The acting is theatrically robust, though not always subtle. I wondered if ambiguity had been outlawed along with the funeral rites of Antikona's warrior brother Polynices. The bold clarity of the performances was energizing, but the wailing sometimes sounded like parody grief.

The outsize nature of the production invites overacting. And Ric Salinas, who plays Chachalacani, humorously obliges, bringing his Culture Clash vaudeville skills to the role of the sentry who's caught between the rock of Klion's tyranny and his fellow feeling for Antikona's sympathetic cause.

Strong performances are elicited from José Eduardo Moreno, who plays Klion's son Hemon, Antíkona's fiancé, and Zilah Mendoza, who plays Cihuatlahtoani Euridice, Klion's wife. Their portrayals, mixing ferocious strength with stark vulnerability, make the tragedy's pileup of bodies at the end all the more piercing.

América's Antíkona is as unyielding as any Antigone I've seen. It's a commanding portrayal, but I wish the production didn't shrink from its protagonist's fierceness. The obdurate side of the character is lessened with a gesture Antíkona bestows on Ixmene — a reassurance that even though she's a revolutionary, she's still an affectionate sister.

Sophocles is made of harsher stuff. Fernández's adaptation is anxious to turn tragedy into a sermon, offering theatergoers moral solace where Sophocles leaves his audience in a contemplative state of stunned silence.

But the staging makes up for the dramatic shortfall. Valenzuela masterly orchestrates the mise-en-scène. The majestic costumes of Catarina Copelli, invoking a rich brocaded world on the brink of disappearance, might be the real superstar.

François-Pierre Couture's scenic design is mesmerizing without ever being

overbearing. "Lee" Xinyuan Li's lighting heightens the sense of theatrical foreboding. Yee Eun Nam's projections inject into this transient world a welcome subtlety.

Urbanie Lucero's choreography and movement direction maintain the production's graceful poise.

The musicians, discreetly performing at the back of the stage under the guidance of Mesoamerican instruments director Christopher García, charge the air with percussive Indigenous wonder.

“Antigone: In the Language of Kings” marks the Getty Villa’s 20th anniversary of reinventing classical tragedy for our time. This gorgeous staging makes me ardently wish that the theater extends the tradition for at least another 20 years.
