New revelations found
in the House report
Despite President Barack Obama
and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta’s clear orders to deploy military
assets, nothing was sent to Benghazi,
and nothing was en route to Libya at
the time the last two Americans were
killed almost 8 hours after the attacks
began.
With Ambassador Chris Stevens
missing, the White House convened
a roughly two-hour meeting at 7:30
p.m., which resulted in action items
focused on a YouTube video, and
others containing the phrases “[i]f
any deployment is made,” and “Libya
must agree to any deployment,” and
“[w]ill not deploy until order comes to
go to either Tripoli or Benghazi.”
The vice chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff typically would have
participated in the White House
meeting, but did not attend because
he went home to host a dinner party
for foreign dignitaries.

WASHINGTON — Republicans on the House Select
Committee on Benghazi sharply criticized the military’s
response to the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks in Libya in a final
report released Tuesday on the events that led to the
death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other
Americans.
The attacks caught the military flat-footed, the report said, with no assets to respond immediately, despite
heightened security that should have been in place in light
of the Sept. 11 anniversary. Other factors also delayed
the military response, according to the 800-page report

Navy lifts alcohol ban for sailors in Japan
BY ERIK SLAVIN
Stars and Stripes
YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan —
Sailors in Japan are now allowed to drink
alcoholic beverages until 10 p.m., as Navy
officials Tuesday continued to gradually
ease restrictions put in place after multiple arrests strained U.S. ties with one of its
closest security allies.
The restrictions, which began June 6,
will be rolled back in about two weeks to
prior levels that allowed drinking off base
until midnight if sailors continue to exercise good judgment, Navy officials said.
“Over the past few weeks, the performance of sailors across Japan has been
outstanding,” Rear Adm. Matthew Carter,
commander of Naval Forces Japan, said in
a statement. “They recognize that liberty
is a mission, especially here in Japan. They
know that their performance in this mission area has a direct impact in preserving the vital strategic relationship with the
Japanese, and preserving peace and stability in the Western Pacific.”
There have been no off-base incidents
involving sailors since the restrictions
began, Naval Forces Japan spokesman
Cmdr. Ron Flanders said Tuesday.
The Navy has asked civilians, family
members and base contractors to “show
solidarity” with sailors and refrain from
drinking after 10 p.m., though they are not
required to do so.

Attacks made DOD adapt in Africa
BY JOHN VANDIVER
Stars and Stripes
STUTTGART, Germany — In
the nearly four years since the
deadly attacks on diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya, the
U.S. military has sought to close
a gaping hole in military capabilities in Africa that the tragedy
exposed.
A report by the House Benghazi panel, released Tuesday,
chastised U.S. forces for failing
to mobilize any units from Europe to conduct a rapid response
to the attacks, which resulted in
the death of U.S. Ambassador
Chris Stevens and three other
Americans.
The question of whether the
military could have done more to
intervene in the crisis has been a
source of fierce political fighting
for years. Critics say the military
was too passive, while military officials have said they were not in
a position to respond fast enough.
The Pentagon has taken a variety of steps to cut down response
time in such a crisis.
“Even though, as the select
committee’s chairman has previously acknowledged, it was
impossible for the U.S. military
to have changed the outcome at
Benghazi under the circumstances, the department has made
substantial changes to improve
our responsiveness based on lessons learned from this incident,”
Gordon Trowbridge, deputy Pentagon press secretary, said in a
statement.
In early 2012, months after the
attack, U.S. Africa Command received its own Commander’s-in-
Clarification
An article in Tuesday’s
paper about charges
filed against a sailor
whose wrong-way crash
triggered travel and
alcohol restrictions for
servicemembers on
Okinawa should have
indicated that a Breathalyzer tested the sailor’s
blood-alcohol level at
0.18, which is six times
Japan’s legal limit.
Benghazi: DOD response delays decried
FROM FRONT PAGE
based on a two-year, $2 million
investigation. An apparent misunderstanding as to whether
the two teams best positioned
to respond — two Fleet Antiterrorism Security Teams based
at Rota, Spain — had orders to
“prepare” to deploy or actual
orders to deploy led to further
delays, the report found.
“By 7:00 p.m. in Washington
[1:00 a.m. in Benghazi], nearly
three hours after the attacks
began, the Secretary [of Defense Leon Panetta] issued
what he believed, then and now,
to be the only order needed to
move the FAST platoons. … Yet
nearly two more hours elapsed
before the Secretary’s orders
were relayed to those forces.
Several more hours elapsed before any of those forces moved.
During those crucial hours between the Secretary’s order and
the actual movement of forces,
no one stood watch to steer the
Defense Department’s bureaucratic behemoth forward to
Extremis force, a unit of special
operations troops who serve as the
command’s own crisis-response
unit, answerable to AFRICOM
chief Gen. David Rodriguez.
At the time of the attacks on
Benghazi, AFRICOM did not have
a quick-response force of its own
and was compelled to share those
assets with European Command.
When the diplomatic compound
came under attack, EUCOM’s
unit was on a training mission in
central Europe.
AFRICOM also has a group
of Marines on call in Europe for
missions in Africa.
In 2013, a special-purpose
Marine Air Ground Task Force
was established in Moron, Spain.
While the Corps had been talking about setting up such a unit
for years, the attacks in Benghazi
gave new urgency to the initiative. The unit has responded to a
number of emergencies, including a 2014 evacuation of the U.S.
Embassy in Tripoli, Libya.
Budget cuts have forced the
ensure the Secretary’s orders
were carried out with the urgency demanded by the lives at
stake in Benghazi,” the report
found.
The operation had difficulty
obtaining Libyan clearance to
land and deploy resources for
the rescue, the report found.
The platoons did not have dedicated airlift, nor did they have
vehicles so they could move
once they were on the ground.
“Despite President [Barack]
Obama and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta’s clear orders to deploy military assets,
nothing was sent to Benghazi
and nothing was en route to
Libya at the time the last two
Americans were killed almost 8
hours after the attacks began,”
the Republicans on the committee said in a release accompanying the report.
Eight hours after the two
assaults began, “not a single
wheel of a single U.S. [military]
asset had turned toward Libya,”
committee chairman Rep.
Trent Gowdy, R-S.C., said of the
military to scale back somewhat
in Spain, including slashing
half its fleet of crisis-response
Ospreys.
The U.S. military posture also
has been adjusted to increase Marine security guards at a number
of sites, to better align the Marine
security mission for protection of
diplomatic facilities and personnel, the Pentagon said.
In addition, AFRICOM has quietly built up a network of small,
bare-bones staging bases on the
African continent to facilitate the
flow of forces in a crisis.
The outposts, established in the
wake of the Benghazi attacks, are
designed to enable U.S. troops
to reach hot spots in western Africa in a matter of hours. Senegal,
Ghana and Gabon are playing key
roles as hosts to so-called cooperative security locations, which
function as launching pads for
quick-reaction troops called upon
to secure U.S. diplomatic facilities in the broader region.
“That enables us to be within
report’s findings, according to
The Associated Press. “Think
about that for a second.”
But the report, released by
committee Republicans, produced no new allegations about
then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the presumptive
Democratic presidential nominee whom critics have accused
of leadership failures that led to
the four American deaths.
The report documents that
the U.S. was slow to send help
“because of an obsession with
hurting the Libyans’ feelings,” Gowdy said. The report
also portrays “heroic acts” by
Americans under attack.
In response to the report’s
release, Pentagon spokesman
Gordon Trowbridge on Tuesday
said that based on the timeline
of events, “it was impossible
for the U.S. military to have
changed the outcome at Benghazi under the circumstances.”
The Associated Press contributed to
this report.

four hours of all the high risk,
high-threat [diplomatic] posts,”
Rodriguez told Stars and Stripes
in a 2015 interview.
Since he assumed command
in 2013, Rodriguez has sought to
shrink the effective distances in
Africa, which is three times the
size of the continental United
States.
“We are in a much better spot
than we were before, and we will
keep working it to make it better,”
he said.
In all, AFRICOM now has access to 11 cooperative security
locations across Africa, some of
which have been around for years.
With only one major military
base on the continent — Camp
Lemonnier in Djibouti — smaller staging facilities help stretch
AFRICOM’s reach. In western
Africa, the sites are Spartan but
strategically positioned near airfields that provide quick in-andout access.

Airman who died
after saving family
in S. Korea honored
BY K AT BOUZA
Stars and Stripes
The 731st Air Mobility Squadron at Osan Air Base has honored an airmen who died from
injuries sustained while helping
save a family from a burning
building.
Staff Sgt. Cierra Rogers died
May 20 shortly after arriving
at her follow-on duty station in
Florida. Rogers, who was credited with being the first airman
to arrive at the scene, was hospitalized in the days following the
April 29 fire in South Korea’s
Songtan district and required
surgery.
“Let us remember her huge
smile and her willingness to
help others. While she was here,
Cierra enjoyed life, and she truly
lived life to the fullest,” Lt. Col.
Breanna Fulton, the 731st AMS
commander, told the memorial
service.
Members of the Enyioko family, who Rogers and other airmen
helped rescue, attended the ceremony along with representatives
from the Embassy of Nigeria and
the South Korean government
and Lt. Gen. Lee Wang-Keon,
commander of South Korean air
force operations command.
“Staff Sgt. Rogers’ honorable
actions to help those in danger
were a true example of what it
means to serve,” Lee said. “We
highly respect her courageous
actions and will forever remember her noble sacrifice.”
The dramatic events were captured on cellphone footage that
showed a group of airmen and
local residents using a blanket to
catch a woman and her three children as they leapt from a window
in the apartment building.
Rogers initiated the rescue
when she entered the smokefilled apartment to kick out the
window and usher the family toward safety.
“This beauty was in the hospital when everyone was being
interviewed,” friend Kris Murray wrote in a tribute post on
Facebook.
“[Cierra] remained calm and
told the mom how to breathe in
the smoke, then convinced the
mom to throw her three babies
out the window to safety where
firefighters and a few airman
and soldiers waited to catch
them. Cierra got very hurt in the

SEOUL, South Korea — The 8th Army
has issued guidance to its forces that an official endorsement of any religion is “unacceptable” after a soldier complained about
the use of a Bible during a military ball
earlier this year.
However, the command determined
there was no improper endorsement at the
ball because it was a private activity.
“The individuals that participated in the
ball have the right to express themselves as
U.S. citizens under the First Amendment,”
Lt. Col. Catina Barnes-Ricks, an 8th Army
spokesman, said Monday in an email.
“However, as the result of the inquiry,
8th Army has disseminated guidance
throughout the command that an improper
official endorsement of any religion during
an official military function is unacceptable,” she added.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation wrote to the command on behalf of
a soldier, complaining that the inclusion of
a Bible in a POW/MIA table display at the
Adjutant General’s Corps Ball was a violation of religious freedom tenets.
The ball was sponsored by the Morning
Calm chapter, and the 8th Army said attendance was voluntary.
MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein, who
frequently battles the military on questions of religious freedom, welcomed the
decision to issue the guidance. But he disputed the claim that the ball was not an official event.
“We’re happy that the Army has disseminated the guidance. But we think it is
completely disingenuous and dishonest to
argue that these balls are not an official
Army event,” he said. “These events are
filled with army pomp and circumstance ...
and having a POW/MIA table with a Bible
on it is wrong.”

Missile defense exercise aims to boost Japan-S.Korea ties
BY WYATT OLSON
Stars and Stripes
FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii —
The U.S., Japan and South Korea
are conducting their first joint
ballistic missile defense exercise
in Hawaii that is aimed as much at
fostering cooperation between the
two Asian neighbors as preparing for a possible North Korean
attack.
Participants of the Pacific Dragon exercise, to conclude Tuesday,
include guided-missile destroyer
the USS John Paul Jones, destroyer the USS Shoup and the Pacific
Missile Range Facility on the island of Kauai, according to a Navy
spokesman.
Naval vessels with the Japan
Maritime Self-Defense Force and
the South Korea Navy, in Ha-
waii for next month’s Rim of the
Pacific exercise, are the other
participants.
The Navy provided no further
details. An official with the South
Korea Ministry of National Defense told reporters Monday that
among the three warships South
Korea sent to RIMPAC was the
Aegis-equipped Sejong the Great
destroyer.
Navy assets from the three
countries will primarily share information that’s needed to detect
and track the launch of an enemy’s missile, but the drill will not
include actually firing interceptor missiles, the ministry official
said.
Aegis is the Navy’s primary
anti-missile system, which is also
used by South Korean and Japanese naval ships.
The antimissile drill slated for
Tuesday is based on a hypothetical missile launch by North Korea,
the ministry official said.
North Korea has conducted
numerous missile tests this year.
The most recent came Wednesday when a Musudan missile flew
about 800 miles high before coming down in the Sea of Japan.
The North has promised more
missile tests, while at the same
time trying to perfect a miniaturized nuclear weapon that could
one day be mounted on such a
missile.
Pacific Dragon is a positive step
forward in the trilateral relationship, but it also underscores the
chasm between Japan and South
Korea, which have yet to move
past territorial disputes and a history of war.
South Korea and Japan will not
directly exchange information
during the drill and will instead
use the U.S. as a “middleman,” the
South Korean ministry said.
James Hackett, a senior fellow
at the London-based International
Institute for Strategic Studies,
wrote earlier this month that it
remains unclear whether this inaugural trilateral exercise will
actually advance cooperative capability. North Korea’s missile developments appear to be an area
suitable for real progress in this
trilateral relationship, he said.
“After all, as well as the commonly perceived dangers from
North Korean missile developments, there are some similarities in assets,” including Aegis
and other anti-missile systems, he
said.
But how much this year’s Pacific Dragon will enhance missile-defense cooperation between
the three countries depends a lot
on the exercise program itself,
particularly how much Japan and
South Korea interact, he said.
Hackett noted that Defense Secretary Ash Carter has called it a
“missile warning” exercise that
is “designed to check the three
countries’ capacity to track ballistic missiles and share relevant
information, involving their Aegis
destroyers.” While that’s a far cry
from shooting down intercontinental test missiles, exercises such as
Pacific Dragon that “incrementally develop trust and cooperation”
might be what is needed at this
stage, he said.

Marines dropping ‘man’ from 19 job titles
BY A LEX HORTON
Stars and Stripes
SAN ANTONIO — The Marine
Corps will remove “man” from 19
of its job specialty titles and shift
to more gender-neutral names
after a senior level review, a Marine Corps official said Tuesday,
channeling a broader discussion
on gender roles in the military.
The rifleman and mortarman
classifiers will remain, as they
are embedded in Marine Corps
culture, and other changes were
meant to align with updated terminology, said a Marine personnel official, who spoke on the
condition of anonymity.
The change comes after Navy
Secretary Ray Mabus in January ordered Gen. Robert Neller,
the Marine Corps commandant,
to end gender-segregated training. In a separate memo, Mabus
asked for a review of the gendered Military Occupational Specialty Codes.
“This is an opportunity to
update the position title and
descriptions themselves to demonstrate through this language
that women are included,” Mabus
wrote, adding “man” should be
removed from titles.
The memos followed Defense
Secretary Ash Carter’s decision
in December to open all combatrelated jobs to women.
Now, 15 job titles for the Marines will replace “man” with
“Marine.” The remaining changes will reflect specialties.
Antitank missileman, for instance, will become antitank
gunner. Field artillery operations
man is expected to become field
artillery operations chief. The reconnaissance man identifier and
its subcategories will shift to reconnaissance Marine, according
to Marine Corps documents obtained by Stars and Stripes.
A terminology overhaul is a
welcomed moment in the social
discussion on gender, said Kayla
Williams, a former Army intelligence specialist who is director
of the Center for Women Veterans
at the Department of Veterans
Affairs and authored “Plenty of
Time When We Get Home.”
“All of these steps making job
titles gender-neutral, like the
change from fireman to firefighter, are really important to
help young girls understand they
can grow up to tackle any challenge they are qualified to do,”
she said.
Female veterans are less likely
to identify as former troops, and
terminology updates like this
might help women feel more
strongly connected to their service, especially in the Marine
Corps, which has the fewest percentage of women serving compared with all other branches,
Williams said.
“This change, while it seems
subtle, is part of a broader shift
of inclusivity in our country and
our military, which is important
to today’s women and tomorrow’s
girls,” she said.
The decision to keep some
gendered names for historical
reasons does not surprise some
veterans, who said branch lineage
is a point of pride.
“One of the things that distinguish the Corps is the way Marines relate to their own history
and identity,” said Phil Klay, a
former Marine officer and National Book Award recipient for
“Redeployment.” “Keeping the
most iconic titles the same as they
have always been does not strike
me as wrong.”
The Navy is still in the process
of reviewing their gendered job
names, according to a news release this month. The Air Force
is not considering a change, according to media reports.
Army public affairs soldiers at
the Pentagon did not reply to a request for comment about potential Army title reviews in light of
the Marine Corps change. Infantryman and armor crewman are
still used in Army titles.
Klay does not see the job title
shift as a big moment in its own
right, but it’s a signal to the force
that culture change is important,
he said.
“The more important thing
to look at is what decisions the
Marine Corps leadership is
making about gender inclusivity
that translate to change on the
ground,” he said.

Alcohol: Some felt restrictions were too stiff Seoul DODEA school considers
FROM FRONT PAGE
The restrictions began two days after
Petty Officer 2nd Class Aimee Mejia, 21,
allegedly drove the wrong way down an
Okinawa highway and crashed into two vehicles, injuring two people, police said.
The incident came during a military-enacted period of mourning in honor of Rina
Shimabukuro, 20, whose body was found
in a forest on Okinawa. Kenneth Franklin
Gadson, a U.S. civilian base worker, has
been charged with illegally disposing of
Shimabukuro’s body, and police have recommended murder and rape charges.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe “protested
sternly” to President Barack Obama regarding Gadson’s alleged crimes, Abe
told reporters at a G7 economic summit in
Japan in May.
Mejia has been charged with dangerous
driving resulting in injuries, which carries
a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison,
police said Monday. Mejia’s blood alcohol
limit was 0.18, six times Japan’s legal limit,
according to police.
The incidents fueled one of the largest
protests in decades on Okinawa, an island
of 1.4 million people where about half of all
U.S. forces in Japan are stationed.
Navy officials said the Mejia incident was
the tipping point of a behavioral “negative
trend” in 2016. The Navy recorded 13 offbase incidents under Japanese jurisdiction
in January and February, which put the service on track for a more than 50 percent rise
over 2015.
For about four days, the Navy barred all
nonessential travel off base. Commanding
officers, executive officers and command
master chiefs conducted face-to-face training with each of the Navy’s roughly 18,600
sailors in Japan, emphasizing how bad behavior can complicate the service’s efforts
to operate in the Asia-Pacific region.
Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin, commander of
the U.S. 7th Fleet, said in a statement Tuesday that he was encouraged that sailors were
responding to the Japan-wide training.
“We’re on a good start, a good trend, and I
want this to continue,” Aucoin said.
Sailors weren’t allowed to drink any alcohol until June 17, when CNFJ and 7th Fleet
officials allowed drinking on base and in
sailors’ own homes.
Sailors in pay grades E-5 and below must
still file a daily plan for nonessential activities off base — or a plan for the weekend
— with their department heads. That requirement will also end if good behavior
continues.
Many sailors felt the restrictions were
imposed for good reason but were somewhat heavy-handed.
“I’m not a big drinker, but it did suck
knowing that we are all adults and we
weren’t trusted to drink off base,” said Petty
Officer 1st Class Franz Malitig, a hospital
corpsman with Yokosuka’s Naval Hospital.
Stars and Stripes staffer Tyler Hlavac contributed

dress code requiring uniforms
BY K IM GAMEL
Stars and Stripes
SEOUL, South Korea — Seoul American
High School in South Korea is considering a
new dress code that would require students
to wear uniforms.
The draft proposal prompted heated debate, with supporters saying more needs to
be done to rein in students who dress inappropriately and critics calling it too strict.
Many on both sides complained the uniforms would be expensive and get little use
since most students will likely be moving
soon as part of the relocation of most U.S.
forces in Korea.
Students would have to wear collared polo
or button-down dress shirts in a choice of
three colors — blue, white or black — with
chino-style pants, according to a draft copy
obtained by Stars and Stripes.
The policy would ban shorts, skirts
and jeans, as well as flip flops, shoes with
wheels and headgear. The principal reserved the right to make exceptions based
on a student’s religious beliefs or documented medical conditions.
Parents and sponsors were asked to vote on
the proposal and offer feedback. The school
initially said a decision would be made this
week. But Principal Donald “Willy” Williams said an overwhelming response required more time for consideration.
“I have decided to table this draft proposal until our school advisory committee
meeting, at the start of the next school year,
when all parents and students will be available to give input on the best way forward
for our school,” he wrote Tuesday on the
school’s Facebook page.
A spokesman for the Department of Defense Education Activity agency in the Pacific said principals must follow a process,
including consulting with the school advisory committee, the district and the area
office, before implementing such changes.
“There are no steps to implement a new
policy for school uniforms at this time,”
spokesman Lawrence Torres said in response to a request for comment.
The school said the proposal was drafted
based on input from parents and students at
a meeting last week. Its stated aim was “to
promote a safe, positive learning environment and to establish reasonable standards
of health and decency in our schools.”
All DODEA schools have dress codes, but
they are usually general guidelines and do
not mandate a uniform. The current policy
for Seoul American allows shorts and skirts
but states they should be longer than “fingertip length.” It also rules out cleavage and
items with inappropriate logos or references to drugs, alcohol, tobacco or gangs.

US probes claims
airstrikes killed
6 held by Taliban
BY PHILLIP WALTER WELLMAN
Stars and Stripes
KABUL, Afghanistan — U.S.
forces in Afghanistan are investigating the deaths of at least
six civilian hostages held by the
Taliban and allegedly killed in
an airstrike in northern Kunduz
province, officials said Tuesday.
Officials have not said whether
Saturday’s strike — which local
authorities said killed a Taliban
leader and five other insurgents
— was carried out by American
or Afghan forces.
Amruddin Wali, deputy of the
Kunduz provincial council, said
investigators were looking at two
conflicting versions of how the civilian hostages died. One is that
they were killed in the airstrike,
and the other is that they were
executed by the Taliban to make
it look as though they died in a
bombing by Afghan or American
forces.
“I’m not sure what exactly happened,” Wali said in a telephone
interview Tuesday.
The U.S. military said it is investigating the incident with its
Afghan counterparts.
Since May, the Taliban have
abducted more than 200 people
in Kunduz, mostly from buses
traveling to different parts of Afghanistan. Police spokesman Hi-
jratullah Akbari said the hostages
killed Saturday were among those
abducted from provincial roads.
The Taliban leader who died,
Mullah Janat Gul, “was responsible for all the kidnappings that
took place in Kunduz recently,”
Akbari said.
Another Taliban leader, Qari
Ghafour, was killed in a separate airstrike in Kunduz over the
weekend. The Afghan Defense
Ministry said Ghafour was responsible for several terrorist attacks in the region.
The deaths are the latest setbacks for the Taliban since Washington authorized an expanded
role for U.S. forces, allowing
them wider latitude to target the
group.
Under the new rules, approved
by President Barack Obama last
month, U.S. commanders can
expand the use of American air
power for offensive missions
against the Taliban and send
troops to fight alongside regular
Afghan forces. In the past they
provided support only to Afghan
special forces.
The change came after worrying Taliban advances across the
country.

US takes another look at
’15 strike that killed Iraqis
The Washington Post
The U.S. military has reopened
its investigation into a 2015 airstrike near the Iraqi city of Mosul
that killed at least 11 civilians, including nine women and children,
U.S. military officials said.
The move by U.S. Central Command follows a Washington Post
article that identified flaws in the
initial probe of the attack, which
concluded that only four civilians
were killed. The story also raised
questions about the military’s
efforts to investigate battlefield
mistakes. In nearly two years of
bombing and more than 12,000
airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, the
U.S. military has acknowledged
only 41 civilian deaths. Military
analysts and human rights activists said those figures vastly
understate the civilian casualties
caused by U.S. airstrikes.
“There’s not a chance that
number is right. Just equipment
failures alone would have killed
41 civilians, not even accounting for far more common human
mistakes or bad intelligence,”
said Jason Lyall, an associate
professor of political science at
Yale University who studies the
effects of air power and served
as a technical adviser to the U.S.
government in Afghanistan. “The
lack of curiosity here is entirely
alarming.”
If confirmed by military investigators, the 11 civilian deaths in
the attack on the Islamic State
checkpoint in the village of Hatra
would account for more than 25
percent of all civilian casualties
acknowledged so far by the U.S.
military in Iraq and Syria.
An initial review of the strike
by the Air Force found the allegations in The Post’s story
“credible,” and Air Force officials, based in Qatar, have “since
opened an investigation,” said
Col. Patrick Ryder, a spokesman
for U.S. Central Command.
Gen. Joseph Votel, who commands U.S. forces in the Middle
East and Central Asia, said that
the military goes to “great lengths
to target only our enemies.”
“We take allegations of civilian casualties seriously, including
this new information about our
strike at the ISIL checkpoint near
al Hatra,” Votel said in a statement, using a common acronym
for the Islamic State group.
The White House is on the verge
of releasing a long-delayed report
on militants and civilians killed
by the United States in countries
where it is not at war. The list will
include airstrikes in countries
such as Libya, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen. It will not include
deaths in Iraq or Syria.

Fewer than 100 Syrians part
of revised US training effort
BY TARA COPP
Stars and Stripes
WASHINGTON — Fewer than
100 additional Syrian leaders
have been trained under a revamped U.S. program to fight the
Islamic State group, U.S. officials
said Monday.
In October, the United States
halted another train-and-equip
program in Syria, which transported whole units of fighters out
of the country to train at facilities
in Turkey, Jordan and other locations. The fighters were given
U.S. equipment, trained and
transported back to Syria. But the
vast majority of the Syrian units
left the program or turned over
their U.S.-provided equipment to
other groups.
The United States had planned
to train about 5,000 fighters each
year in the first program, which
cost $346.8 million in fiscal year
2015. But in September, Gen.
Lloyd Austin, who led U.S. Central Command at the time, informed Congress that only “four
or five” U.S.-trained fighters
were in Syria.
On Monday, three U.S. officials
who spoke on the condition of anonymity described the new trainand-equip program, which was
started in March. The revamped
program does not try to train entire units. Instead, it identifies key
Syrian leaders and trains them in
skills such as spotting potential
targets for United States and coalition airstrikes.
“We’re not necessarily training
large units to maneuver in fire,”
said one of the three U.S. officials
who briefed reporters on the status of the new Syria train-and-
equip program.
“Rather than training 10 people to use a rifle, if you can train a
smaller number of people to accurately describe their own position
relative to the position of enemy
forces, it enables them to better
coordinate resupply and describe
enemy positions,” one of the officials said.
The program returns those
leaders to their units to push that
training down the ranks and provides equipment to the forces that
they lead. The new program to
train the leaders has $416 million
budgeted for it in fiscal year 2016,
the U.S. officials said, and includes the equipment the United
States is providing.
The newly trained leaders are
returning to their units with communications equipment, small
arms and ammunition to distribute, the officials said. The units
are also getting vehicles and
some artillery.
Over the weekend, The New
York Times reported that a CIA
program to train and equip Syrian forces had lost equipment to
Jordanian intelligence operatives
who were siphoning off and selling that supply as they moved
through the country on their way
to Syria.
The officials would not comment Monday on the CIA program but said the Defense
Department’s equipping program
was enforcing accountability by
only distributing limited amounts
of ammunition and guns, and by
keeping “eyes on” the units using
the larger equipment.
The officials estimated that
between earlier efforts to train
and equip forces and this new
program, the U.S. has reached
approximately 10,000 Sunni Arab
forces.
All of the units getting training
and equipment through the new
program are Sunni, the officials
said. “Those numbers don’t include our Kurdish partners,” one
official said.
Kurdish forces are also getting
assistance and working with U.S.
advisers in Syria, but that effort
is separate from this program,
one of the officials said.

Ludacris to
play Gitmo
on July 4
Senior
sailor on
destroyer
relieved
BY CAROL ROSENBERG
Miami Herald
The (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot
NORFOLK, Va. — The top enlisted sailor aboard the destroyer
USS Laboon was relieved of his
duties Monday for fostering a
toxic work environment, the Navy
said in a statement.
Command Master Chief James
Roberts was relieved of his duties by Capt. Derek Granger
following an investigation into allegations Roberts failed to follow
Navy regulations and command
instructions.
Naval Surface Force Atlantic spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Myers
Vasquez said an investigation
found Roberts abused his authority and usurped authority by improperly disapproving special
forms that can be used to request
anything from vacation to monetary allotment.
Only the commanding officer
has the authority to disapprove
such requests.
Vasquez declined to provide
further details about the investigation and said Roberts was not
available for comment.
Roberts had served as the
Laboon’s command master chief
since Sept. 26, 2014. He has been
temporarily reassigned to Naval
Surface Force Atlantic.
The Laboon is based at Norfolk
Naval Station in Virginia. A new
command master chief has not
been selected.
Officer claims
adultery charge
discriminatory
The (Colorado Springs, Colo.)
Gazette
Lawyers for a Schriever Air
Force Base, Colo., colonel argued Monday that a half-dozen
adultery charges against him
should be thrown out because
the military’s law banning extramarital sex discriminates against
heterosexuals.
Col. Eugene Marcus Caughey
is headed for an August courtmartial on charges of rape, assault, taking a dirty selfie and the
adultery counts. He was in court
Monday for a formal reading of
the charges and to argue pretrial
motions.
Maj. Keith Meister, one of three
attorneys defending Caughey,
told Air Force judge Col. Wes
Moore that the military’s definition of adultery as sex between
a man and a woman hasn’t kept
pace with its definition of marriage, which now includes samesex couples.
That’s because the military’s
adultery law requires “sexual intercourse” as an element of guilt,
which the Pentagon defines as an
act between a man and a woman.

required to register for a possible military draft.
Poll shows women divided
over registering for draft
BY STEPHANIE A KIN
CQ-Roll Call
WASHINGTON — With Congress lined up for a battle over
whether women should be required to register for the draft,
there’s one group that is solidly
against the idea, a new poll suggests: women themselves.
Women are much less likely
than men to say women should
be required to register for the
Selective Service when they turn
18, according to a poll conducted
June 18-20 by The Economist/
YouGov. Thirty-nine percent of
women supported registration for
women, compared to 61 percent
of men.
The question is largely theoretical since the United States ended
the draft in 1973 as the Vietnam
War was winding down. Men
have been required since 1980 to
register when they turn 18. Draft
eligibility expires at 26.
But the question has come to
signify a deeper discussion about
gender equality in the military,
and it took on new weight last
week when the Senate approved
a military policy bill that for the
first time would require women
to register. The legislation will
now have to be reconciled with
the House version, which would
require only a study on the draft
issue.
Polling experts cautioned that
feminists have frequently argued
against the draft in general and
that women are historically less
hawkish than men.
Both issues could explain some
of the gender division on the question of the draft in this poll, which
asked only whether women should
be required to register, whether
they should be allowed to serve in
combat units and whether allowing them to serve in combat roles
would open more opportunities
for women in the military. The
Pentagon this year opened combat roles for women.
Without follow-up questions
asking if respondents were
against the draft in general — or
just against women participating
— it is difficult to come to conclusions about the gender divide,
said Ilya Somin, a George Mason
University law professor whose
research focuses on constitutional law, property law and popular
political participation.
“The better solution is not have
draft registration at all, then we
get rid of the sex discrimination
and we get rid of the infringement
on people’s personal liberty,” he
said.
Kate Germano, chief operating
officer for the Service Women’s
Action Network, said similar
polls attempting to determine
public opinion on the draft have
found differences based on the
age or demographics of the respondents. She welcomed the debate in Congress.
“Requiring women to register
for the draft, if it is indeed necessary, represents that last hurdle
being cleared for women being
perceived as equal in the military,” she said.
Male and female lawmakers in
both bodies have expressed support for universal conscription.
They include Sen. John McCain,
R-Ariz., a former Vietnam prisoner of war who noted last week
that the provision was supported
by all the female members of the
Senate panel.
But the idea has riled conservatives in both bodies. Sen. Ted
Cruz, of Texas, for instance, said
last week that he voted against the
entire policy bill because of it.
“Despite the many laudable objectives in this bill, I could not in
good conscience vote to draft our
daughters into the military, sending them off to war and forcing
them into combat,” Cruz said.
Russia: US destroyer got too close to ships
Associated Press
MOSCOW — The Russian defense ministry has accused a U.S.
Navy ship of sailing dangerously
close to its vessels in the Mediterranean Sea.
The ministry said Tuesday in
comments carried by the Inter-
fax news agency that the destroyer USS Gravely passed a Russian
combat ship dangerously close
earlier this month in the eastern
section of the Mediterranean and
cut in front of a Russian frigate.
The ministry insisted the Russian vessels were in international
waters and did not perform any
dangerous maneuvers regarding
the American ship.
U.S. officials have repeatedly
complained about Russian military jets and vessels buzzing and
sailing too close to their planes
and vessels, calling it dangerous
and unprofessional behavior.

Trump waffling
on Muslim ban
BY JILL COLVIN
Associated Press
NEW YORK — From the moment he first declared it, the plan
has been a signature of his campaign for president: “Donald J.
Trump is calling for a total and
complete shutdown of Muslims
entering the United States until
our country’s representatives can
figure out what is going on.”
Yet from that first moment, the
Republican White House candidate has evaded questions when
pressed for details. Now that he’s
a presumptive nominee with sliding poll numbers, his spokeswoman says he’s no longer seeking the
ban at all.
In its place, he’s offering an approach based on a standard of terrorism that he and his campaign
refuse to define.
The ban idea originated with 28
direct and forceful words, issued
immediately after the December
shootings in San Bernardino,
Calif., that killed 14 people. The
blanket nature of the proposal,
which appeared to stretch beyond
immigration to include any member of the Muslim faith seeking to
cross the U.S. border, provoked a
flurry of questions.
Would it apply to U.S. citizens
traveling or living abroad? Members of the armed forces? What
about foreign leaders seeking to
visit the U.S., such as Jordan’s
King Abdullah II — a staunch
American ally? Or Nobel laureate
Malala Yousafzai?
In response to questions that
day from The Associated Press,
Trump’s campaign manager at
the time, Corey Lewandowski,
said the ban would apply to “everybody” — including tourists
and Muslims seeking immigration visas.
Trump’s campaign refused to
respond to additional questions,
including how the U.S. would determine a person’s religious beliefs. Instead, Trump offered the
following statement, delivered
to the AP via email: “Because I
am so politically correct, I would
never be the one to say. You figure it out!”
In the following days, he did
offer shades of new detail. His
ban would include exemptions,
including for athletes and world
leaders. As he got closer to winning the GOP nomination, his
language softened further. Shortly after endorsing the billionaire
businessman, New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie suggested Trump
had walked away from the plan
entirely.
“That’s not what he says any
longer,” Christie told ABC News
in February. “He’s backed off of
that position over the course of
time.”
He hadn’t. But Trump was
now stressing the “temporary”
nature.
“It’s a temporary ban. It hasn’t
been called for yet. Nobody’s done
it,” he said on Fox News Radio in
May. “This is just a suggestion
until we find out what’s going on.”
He told Fox News Channel, “I’d
like to back off as soon as possible
because, frankly, I would like to
see something happen. But we
have to be vigilant.”
Then came this month’s Orlando, Fla., shootings. A day after the
attack that left 49 people dead, he
appeared to return to his call for
a blanket ban on Muslims — at
least for a time.
“I called for a ban after San
Bernardino and was met with
great scorn and anger. But now …
many are saying that I was right
to do so. And although the pause is
temporary, we must find out what
is going on. We have to do it,” he
said. “It will be lifted, this ban,
when and as a nation we’re in a
position to properly and perfectly
screen these people coming into
our country.”
In that speech, Trump added
a new element to his proposal:
“When I’m elected, I will suspend immigration from areas of
the world where there is a proven
history of terrorism against the
United States, Europe or our allies until we fully understand how
to end these threats.”

LAKE ISABELLA, Calif. —
Sallie Keeling had seen enough
photos of destruction over four
days to know what to expect when
she returned Monday to the fireravaged neighborhood where she
and her husband had lived for 13
years.
“There’s nothing,” she said, covered in soot after digging through
the rubble. “Just ashes.”
Keeling, 71, surveyed the devastated South Lake near Lake Isabella as evacuation orders were
lifted in some nearby communities that suffered less damage
from the wildfire that killed two
people and destroyed 200 homes
in the southern Sierra Nevada.
The fire grew to more than 70
square miles, but was it 40 percent
contained as it burned in steep terrain south of Lake Isabella. Houses could be vulnerable if winds
blow the fire back toward some
of the communities in the popular
recreation area, fire Chief Brian
Marshall said.
“There’s still more threats out
there,” Marshall said. “This is
going to go down as the most destructive wildfire in Kern County
history.”
Cadaver dogs searched through
the rubble of devastated neighborhoods for more possible casualties, although remains found over
the weekend were identified as
an animal, Kern County sheriff’s
spokesman Ray Pruitt said.
The cause of the fire remains
under investigation. A man with
two guns was arrested Sunday
in a mandatory evacuation area,
although further details weren’t
available on possible charges he
could face, Pruitt said.
The fire began Thursday and
quickly exploded in dry brush and
bore down on small communities of houses and mobile homes
that surround Lake Isabella, a
dammed section of the scenic
Kern River popular for fishing,
whitewater rafting and other outdoor activities.
Terrifying flames arrived with
little warning, and residents,
many elderly, had to flee amid
heavy smoke.

Control of Senate a factor in Clinton VP pick
BY LISA LERER
AND JULIE PACE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — As Hillary Clinton considers her choices
for vice president, she’s seriously
weighing the potential negative
impact her decision could have
on Democratic efforts to retake
control of the Senate, according to
party members familiar with her
thinking.
She’s also said to be worried
about how her pick could affect
congressional elections in 2018,
at the midpoint of her presidency
should she win the White House.
Her political calculus underscores
how closely linked she believes
her success as president would be
to having her party in power on
Capitol Hill.
Clinton’s concerns center on
senators whose seats would be
filled by a Republican governor if
they move into the White House
— including Cory Booker, of New
Jersey, and Sherrod Brown, of
Ohio. Examined by Clinton’s vetting team in an early stage of
the vice presidential process, it’s
unclear whether they have been
moved onto her short list.
The Democrats familiar with
Clinton’s thinking all spoke on
condition of anonymity because
they were not authorized to publicly discuss her search for a running mate.
Clinton’s team is moving
through the selection process
quickly. Lawyers have already requested documents and questionnaire replies from Massachusetts
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Virginia
Sen. Tim Kaine and Housing and
Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, of Texas. Interviews
with Clinton will be scheduled for
early next month.
Top Senate Democrats, including Minority Leader Harry Reid;
Sen. Chuck Schumer, who will suc-
ceed the retiring Reid next year;
and Sen. Jon Tester, head of the
Democratic Senatorial Campaign
Committee, have expressed concerns about Clinton’s vice presidential pick complicating their
efforts to retake the majority.
Democrats need to gain four
seats in November to win control of the chamber if Clinton is
president.
“If we have a Republican governor in any of those states, the
answer is not only no but hell no,”
Reid said last month. “I would do
whatever I can, and I think most of
my Democratic colleagues would
say the same thing.”
within an inch of their lives,” Marshall said.
The bodies of an elderly couple,
apparently overcome by smoke,
were found Friday. Their names
have not been released.
In addition to the destroyed
homes, another 75 were damaged.
The fire was the most damaging blaze in California, but it is
just one of many that have burned
large swaths of the arid West during hot weather.

NYC Buddhists issue
‘fake monk’ warning
BY M ICHAEL BALSAMO
Associated Press
NEW YORK — New York City
Buddhist leaders are sounding
the alarm to tourists: Beware the
“fake monks.”
Men in orange robes claiming
to be Buddhist monks are approaching visitors to some of the
city’s most popular attractions,
handing them shiny medallions
and offering greetings of peace.
They then hit them up for donations to help them build a temple
in Thailand and are persistent if
their demands are refused.
“The problem seems to be increasing,” said the Rev. TK Nakagaki, president of the Buddhist
Council of New York, a group that
represents nearly two dozen Buddhist temples. “They are very aggressive and hostile if you don’t
give them money.”
His group has taken to the
streets and social media to warn
people that the men appear to
have no affiliation to any Buddhist temple. “Please be aware,”
read one Facebook post, “this is a
scam.”
Along the popular High Line elevated park, one of the robed men
handed a couple a shiny, goldcolored medallion and a plastic
beaded bracelet. He then showed
them photos of a planned temple
and barked, “Ten dollars! Twenty
dollars!” When they wouldn’t give
up cash, he snatched the trinkets
back.
Other brightly robed men have
been spotted pulling the same
routine, albeit more successfully, in Times Square, not far
from where costumed characters
such as Elmo, Minnie Mouse and
the Naked Cowboy take pictures
with tourists for tips. Some of the
monks were later seen handing
wads of cash to another man waiting nearby.
The Associated Press tried to
ask more than a half-dozen of the
men about their background and
the temple they said the donations
were being used to support. Each
claimed to be a Buddhist monk
collecting money for a temple in
Thailand, but none could give its
name or say where exactly it is located. All the men refused to give
their names and ran off when
pressed for answers.

High court to hear appeal
over service dog at school

M ARK LENNIHAN /AP
A man wearing an orange robe
talks with a woman in New
York’s Times Square on Friday.
City public park that’s maintained
by a private nonprofit group,
about three years ago, said Robert Hammond, executive director
of Friends of the High Line. But
it “became excessive” in the past
year, he said, with up to a dozen of
the men accosting tourists at once
and sometimes grabbing them to
demand cash.
Panhandling on city streets isn’t
illegal in New York, as long as the
person isn’t acting aggressively.
But the city’s parks department
has a rule that says it is unlawful
to solicit money without a permit
from the parks commissioner.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is taking up an
appeal from an 11-year-old Michigan girl with cerebral palsy who
wasn’t allowed to bring her service dog to school.
The justices said Tuesday they
will consider whether Ehlena
Fry’s family can sue the school
district for violations of federal
disability laws.
Fry’s family obtained a Goldendoodle to help her open doors
and retrieve items. Her school
district initially refused to allow
the dog, Wonder, at school. Officials relented a bit in 2010, but
they placed many restrictions on
Wonder. Ehlena and her dog later
transferred to another school.
Her family sued the school
district for violations of federal
disability laws. The case was dismissed after a judge said the Frys
first had to seek an administrative hearing. An appeals court
last year upheld that decision 2-1.
The American Civil Liberties
Union, which is representing the
family, says the case is important
because school districts around
the country have repeatedly denied children with disabilities
their right to bring service dogs
to school. Those districts often
claim the service animals are not
necessary and that the schools
can help the children through
other means.
The ACLU wants the justices
to declare that children prevented from using service animals
at school can proceed directly
to court without having to go
through administrative hearings
that can be costly, time-consuming and burdensome.
The school argues that exhausting administrative remedies encourages parents and schools to
work together to determine the
best plan for each child and are
a cheaper way to resolve educational disputes.
The Obama administration
has backed the Fry family, saying the appeals court’s decision
was wrong and “leads to unsound results.” The government
said that at the time the lawsuit
was filed, Ehlena had already
moved to a new school district
and there was no ongoing dispute
to compromise. Requiring her to
go through administrative proceedings “would waste time and
resources without offering any
chance of resolving their actual
dispute,” the Justice Department
said in a brief to the court.
The high court will hear the
case when the new term begins in
the fall.

Ikea recalls 29M
dressers in wake of
deaths of 6 children
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Ikea is recalling 29 million chests and dressers after six children were killed
when the units toppled over and
fell on them.
The chests and dressers are unstable if they are not secured to a
wall, the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission said Tuesday.
All of the children killed were
3 years old or younger, the CPSC
said. One child was killed about
27 years ago. The other deaths
were more recent, between 2002
and this year. The CPSC said it
also received 36 reports of children who were injured.
The recall, which applies only
to customers in the U.S. and
Canada, is for several types of
Ikea chests and dressers. Ikea
said the units under the recall
are children’s chests and drawers
taller than 23.5 inches and adult
chests and dressers taller than
29.5 inches.
The recalled units were sold at
Ikea stores for years.
The Swedish retailer said that
anyone who owns one of those
chests and dressers, and have not
attached them to a wall, should remove it out of reach from children.
Ikea is offering free kits to attach
the chests and dressers to a wall.
Customers who don’t want to
keep the recalled furniture can
ask for a refund. Ikea said it will
give a full refund to owners of recalled chests and dressers made
between 2002 and this year. For
recalled units made before 2002,
customers can receive a store
credit for half the original price.
Ikea USA President Lars Petersson said the chests and dressers were sold with instructions
saying that they had to be mounted to walls. Last year, the company offered free wall-mounting
kits to owners of its Malm chests
and dressers after reports of children’s deaths.
A child is killed every two
weeks in the U.S. due to furniture
or TVs that topple over, the CPSC
said.

3 downtown Vegas sites closing
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas is losing a trio of
kitschy downtown properties, including the last
remaining topless show on the Fremont Street
casino pedestrian mall and a signature spot for
deep-fried Twinkies and Oreos.
Mermaids, Topless Girls of Glitter Gulch and
La Bayou were due to close their doors Monday.
In April, developers and casino owners Derek
and Greg Stevens acquired all three properties
from the Granite Gaming Group. They’ve said
they plan to build a new hotel-casino at the site of
the three shuttered properties.
The Stevens brothers also own the open-air
Downtown Las Vegas Events Center concert
venue on the site of the former Clark County
courthouse, and the D Las Vegas and Golden
Gate casinos.
The brothers say they are still in the planning
stages for the new property, which would be the
first ground-up development in downtown Las
Vegas in decades.
“There will be a combination of demolition,
renovation and new construction,” Derek Stevens told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“At this point, this is all that is a certainty.”
Mermaids opened in 1956 as the Silver Palace,
and at the time was the first two-level Fremont
Street gambling hall.
Study: Zika infection lasts longer in pregnancy
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Researchers infected pregnant monkeys
with the Zika virus to learn how it
harms developing fetuses — and
in a highly unusual twist, the public can get a real-time peek at the
findings.
Among the first surprising results: While most people harbor
Zika in their bloodstream for only
a week or so after infection, the
virus lingered in one pregnant
monkey’s blood for 70 days and in
another for 30 days.
A bit of good news: Tests with
nonpregnant monkeys suggest
one infection with Zika protects
against a second bout later on.
Rhesus macaque monkeys make
a good model for studying how
Zika infects people, researchers at
the University of Wisconsin-Madison concluded Tuesday in Nature
Communications. But what’s
novel is that the team is posting its
raw data online right away — even
ultrasound images of developing
monkeys that they acknowledged
at the time “can elicit stronger
emotions than looking at relatively
sterile charts” — so that normally
competing research labs can work
together to speed discoveries.
That collaboration will help
“use as few animals as possible
to answer important research
questions,” lead researcher David
O’Connor, a pathology professor at
UW-Madison, told reporters. “We
hope this will encourage others to
make their data available in real
time to accelerate the response
time to Zika virus and other outbreaks in the future.”

Woman drives with body stuck in windshield
BY TRAVIS M. A NDREWS
The Washington Post
Three-quarters of a mile, or
3,960 feet.
That’s how far Esteysi Sanchez
was driven with a man’s corpse
embedded in her windshield in a
gruesome hit-and-run that took
place early Monday morning in
Oceanside, Calif., police said.
The 29-year-old, who also goes
by the name of Stacy Sanchez,
according to her Facebook page,
was driving home from an alleged marathon night of drinking
at several different bars in her
hometown, Oceanside, when she
collided with a pedestrian, police
said.
“From what I understand, she
was out partying all night and
was on the way home,” Sgt. Jeff
Brandt, of the Oceanside Police,
told The Washington Post.
The sun had risen about 40
minutes earlier when Sanchez
reached the 4000 block of Mission
Avenue around 6:20 a.m., where
the victim was walking either to
or from the Brother Benno soup
kitchen, KGTV reported. Brandt
said it’s unclear if he was on the
sidewalk or the street at the time
of the collision. Police have not released the victim’s name, though
the station reported he was a
“known transient in the area.”
The driver’s teal Pontiac sedan
was moving so fast and the impact
was so forceful that one of the
man’s legs was ripped from his
torso at the waist, flew through
the back window and landed
on the trunk of her car, KNSD
reported.
The rest of his body slammed
into the front windshield, shattering it and leaving him “impaled
into the vehicle,” according to
Brandt. He crashed through the
window such that the top of his
head rested on the passenger seat
while his body remain lodged in
the jagged hole in the windshield.
The driver continued — with
the man’s body in the car and his
severed leg on the vehicle’s trunk
— for another .75 miles, riding
along the sidewalk at one point
and crashing through residential
landscaping before coming to rest
in a cul-de-sac, where she parked
the car, got out and walked to her
nearby house, KGTV reported.
When she arrived home, her
husband contacted paramedics and the Oceanside Police
Department.
The victim was pronounced
dead at the scene.
At the scene of the collision, police found the victim’s shoes and
pants, which contained keys and
identification, alongside shards
of Sanchez’s windshield. Police
then questioned Sanchez who
admitted to drinking and driving, Brandt told The Post. She has
been booked into the Vista Detention Facility for felony DUI and
vehicular manslaughter. It remains unclear if she has retained
a lawyer, according to The Associated Press.
Edwin Esparza claimed to have
witnessed the crash while changing the oil in his car in the early
morning.
“There’s no words to really describe it. I mean, just seeing that
up close and personal, it’s kind of
traumatizing in a way,” Esparza
told KNSD.
Morbid as the details of the case
are, it’s by no means the first of its
kind. Just last week, Anya Tucker, 30, was charged with leaving
the scene of an incident without
reporting, first degree endangerment, and refusal to submit a
breath test after allegedly killing
Patrick Duff in Clifton Park, N.Y.,
by hitting him with her BMW
in December of last year. Court
documents said she drove around
with his body impaled in the
BMW’s windshield for more than
an hour, WTEN reported.
And in March of last year, Jose
Antonio Santiago, 33, reportedly
struck Anna Lewis, 62, near Allentown, Pa., with his Saab sedan
so forcefully that the car severed
her body at the waist. The top half
of her torso broke through the
front windshield, coming to a rest
on the passenger side floor.
Even then, Santiago insisted to
police he hadn’t hit anyone with
his car.
“I would’ve stopped,” he said,
according to Lehighvalleylive.
com. “I’m not a bad person.”
A police report on the collision
involving Sanchez and the pedestrian had not been completed as
of early Tuesday morning.
It is also not clear if she’s entered a plea yet to the charges
against her.

Ruling won’t alter Texas abortions for now
BY PAUL J. WEBER
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — Long wait
times for abortions and lengthy
drives to clinics are likely to continue in Texas for months and
maybe years despite the U.S.
Supreme Court striking down
restrictions that since 2013 have
drastically reduced the number
of providers statewide.
Texas lost more than half of its
41 abortion clinics in the three
years since former Republican
Gov. Rick Perry signed a sweeping anti-abortion law that justices
largely dismantled in a 5-3 ruling
Monday. The decision amounted
to the Supreme Court’s strongest
defense of abortion rights in a generation and could imperil similar
restrictions in other states.
The Texas laws required doc-
tors who perform abortions to
have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and forced clinics to
meet hospital-like standards for
outpatient surgery.
But even with those mandates
now gone, Planned Parenthood
and others providers are not yet
making promises about breaking ground on new facilities in
Texas.
And any openings, they cautioned, could take years, meaning
that women in rural Texas counties are still likely to face hourslong drives to abortion clinics for
the foreseeable future.
Buildings need to be leased.
Staffs need to be hired. Clinics
must still obtain state licenses
and funds for medical equipment
must be raised.
Meanwhile, the Republicancontrolled Legislature is all but
certain to remain hostile to abortion providers that try to expand.
“We really have a daunting task
to determine whether and how we
can reopen our health centers,”
said Whole Woman’s Health
founder Amy Hagstrom Miller,
whose chain of abortion clinics
in Texas includes the state’s only
provider on the southern border
with Mexico.
Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards also would
not immediately commit to the
nation’s largest abortion provider
opening more Texas clinics, but
she expressed hope.
“Just to re-establish services
in a community and get the licensures is just not something that
is going to happen overnight,”
said Richards, who is the daughter of former Texas Gov. Ann
Richards.
W.Va. town

without a nearby clinic will at
least see one reopen within the
next six months, and that the goal
may not necessarily be getting
back above 40 facilities.
“The benchmark is more closely aligned with geographic proximity,” Davis said. “If women are
able to geographically access that
care without tremendous costs or
burdensome travel then we’ll be
back to where we need to be.”
Monday’s ruling now gives
Texas abortion providers the goahead to continue offering abortions in smaller facilities that are
akin to doctor’s offices. Many
clinics had faced multimilliondollar renovations to comply with
the law, such as upgrades to air
ventilation systems and hallways
wide enough to accommodate
hospital beds.

RAINELLE, W.Va. — Like
other business operators along
Main Street in the West Virginia
town of Rainelle, Pamela Wallace
Arnold is slowly cleaning up from
state’s worst flooding in decades.
As a funeral planner, she’s also
helping to bury the dead.
She runs Wallace and Wallace,
one of two funeral chapels in this
West Virginia town of 1,500 residents. Wallace is doing double
duty drying out her rain-soaked
business — launched by her greatgreat-grandfather in 1926 — while
planning the funerals of some of
the flood victims.
Rainelle is in Greenbrier
County, where 15 of the state’s 23
deaths from last week’s devastating floods occurred. Where the
visitations will be held, not even
Wallace knows. She’s also not sure
whether she can ever reopen at
the same location.
She just understands that the
community needs her.
“Obviously, our very first concern is taking care of the families,” she said Monday. “We have
to get somewhere quickly so we
can take care of things.”
Wallace is looking for another
place where she can relocate temporarily. If not, her business has
locations in other towns.
Thousands of homes and businesses across this mountainous
state were damaged or destroyed
when up to 9 inches of rain fell in
a short span, causing perhaps the
worst flooding West Virginia has
seen in three decades. More than
400 people were living in shelters
statewide.

whether Texas would ever reach
that number again. Davis said the

astation, the Democratic nominee for governor, Jim Justice,
announced Tuesday that he will
pause his campaign for at least
two weeks so he can concentrate
on helping flood victims.
Justice says he has started a relief fund called Neighbors Loving
Neighbors to help those who lost
their homes or other possessions.
He said “politicking is the last
thing that’s on my mind,” and
though his headquarters will remain open, he won’t personally
campaign.
Some of the worst destruction
occurred in Rainelle, which is
surrounded by hills, the Meadow
River and several tributaries.
At the Park Center shopping
plaza, state troopers assisted with
traffic flow and helped carry
items to a supply drop-off and
distribution center while helicopters buzzed overhead.
The Rainelle United Methodist
Church was turned into a donation center. The church basement
flooded but the main level, which
sits higher off the ground, was
spared.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin defended the state’s preparation and response, but conceded they were
caught off guard by an uncertain
forecast and by how much rain
fell so quickly.
JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi
clerks cannot cite their own religious beliefs to recuse themselves
from issuing marriage licenses to
same-sex couples, a federal judge
ruled Monday.
The effect of the ruling by U.S.
District Judge Carlton Reeves is
that the state can’t enforce part of
a religious objections bill that was
supposed to become law Friday.
Reeves is extending his previous order that overturned
Mississippi’s ban on same-sex
marriage. He says circuit clerks
are required to provide equal
treatment for all couples, gay or
straight.
He also said that all 82 circuit
clerks must be given formal notice of that requirement.
Mississippi’s religious objections measure, House Bill 1523 ,
was filed in response to last summer’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling
that legalized gay marriage nationwide. That ruling is called the
Obergefell case, after the man
who filed it.
“Mississippi’s elected officials
may disagree with Obergefell,
of course, and may express that
disagreement as they see fit — by
advocating for a constitutional
amendment to overturn the decision, for example,” Reeves wrote
Monday. “But the marriage license issue will not be adjudicated anew after every legislative
session.”
Attorneys were still waiting on
rulings from Reeves in two other
lawsuits that seek to block all of
the religious objections law, including provisions that could affect schools’ bathroom policies
for transgender students.
Roberta Kaplan, a New Yorkbased attorney, represents Campaign for Southern Equality in
two lawsuits challenging House
Bill 1523, including the one on
which Reeves ruled Monday. She
issued a statement praising his
decision.
“A year after the Supreme Court
guaranteed marriage equality in
the Obergefell decision, we are
delighted that Judge Reeves reaffirmed the power of federal courts
to definitively say what the United
States Constitution means,” Kaplan said.

Tate Reeves said in a statement.

WORLD
EU leaders plot a future without Britain
BY R AF CASERT
AND L ORNE COOK
Associated Press
BRUSSELS — European Union
leaders began plotting a future
without Britain on Tuesday, urging the island nation and economic powerhouse to disentangle
itself as fast as possible from the
other 27 nations in the bloc to
avoid extending the turmoil that
has been roiling European and
global markets.
EU Council President Donald
Tusk said he was planning a special meeting of the EU leaders
minus Cameron in Bratislava in
September to chart a way ahead
after last week’s referendum
made abundantly clear that a
business-as-usual approach to
Britain leaving could possibly
threaten the unity of the entire
bloc.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister
David Cameron held talks with
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker hours
ahead of an EU summit in Brussels at which the outgoing British leader is expected to say that
exit talks might not be launched
before October. There has been
talk that Britain wants informal
negotiations on what the U.K.’s
future relations with Europe
might look like before that happens — a notion many in the bloc
have rejected.
Juncker and other European
leaders insist they won’t begin
any talks until Britain invokes
Article 50 of the EU’s Treaty of
Lisbon, which sets in motion a
two-year process to split away
from the group designed to unify
Europe after the horrors of World
War II.
In an unprecedented emergency session of the EU parliament, called after Britain voted
last Thursday to leave the union,
Juncker demanded that Britain
clarify its future.
“I want the U.K. to clarify its
position — not today, not tomorrow at 9 a.m., but soon,” he told
lawmakers Tuesday. “We cannot
allow ourselves to remain in a
prolonged period of uncertainty.”
Juncker said he had banned his
policy commissioners from holding any secret talks with Britain
on its future until London triggers the exit clause.

Intolerance surges as referendum sinks in
Associated Press
LONDON — An Eastern European family in
Rugby, England, finds dog excrement shoved
through its mailbox. A Londoner nearly gets into
a fight over drunken slurs shouted on a crowded
subway car. A Polish teenager in Gloucestershire
is taunted with threats of deportation at her high
school.
In the wake of last Thursday’s vote to leave the
European Union, Britain has seen a surge in xenophobia expressed in taunts, threats and worse.
For many, foreign- and native-born, the U.K. has
suddenly become a much scarier place.
“Before Friday, we lived in a tolerant society,”
said Oana Gorcea, 32, a Romanian who has lived
in Britain since she was a teenager. “I’ve been
here 13 years, but I’ve never felt like I had to hide
where I came from. But from Friday, things completely changed.”
Gorcea, who works for a multinational company
in Rugby, about 85 miles northwest of London, said
her street was being patrolled by “English commandos who walk around and try to intimidate
nonwhite, non-English people.” The talk of the
neighborhood was the dog feces shoved through a
local immigrant family’s mailbox.
Gorcea’s story and others like it have been echoing across social media for days. Eastern Europeans, Muslims — even Americans and Germans
— have reported acts of intimidation and harass-
tiation,” he said to resounding
applause.
ment. Victims describe an emboldened angry
fringe emerging to crow over Thursday’s vote.
A T-shirt sported by a man at the Armed Forces
Day Parade in the working-class London borough
of Havering over the weekend seemed to sum up
the new attitude: “YES! WE WON! NOW SEND
THEM BACK.”
British reporters across the country have seen
the resurgence of racism up close and personal.
Adam Boulton, a presenter for Britain’s Sky News,
posted a message to Twitter saying he and his
family had witnessed three separate incidents of
when-are-you-going-home-style abuse aimed at
Europeans over the weekend. Channel Four’s Ciaran Jenkins said that within a five-minute span
in the northern England town of Barnsley, three
people had shouted, “Send them home!” BBC reporter Sima Kotecha said she was in “utter shock”
after having returned home to the southern England town of Basingstoke and been abused with a
racial slur she hadn’t heard “since the ’80s.”
Police are investigating vandalism at a Polish cultural center in west London and incidents
in Cambridgeshire in which cards were given to
Polish residents calling them “vermin” and ordering them to leave the country. The National Police
Chiefs’ Council said there had been a 57 percent
rise in hate crime complaints in the past four days
compared with the same period last month.
Tusk was already looking farther ahead. He said the 27 EU
heads of state and government
— minus Cameron — would hold
a special meeting in September
to discuss “the new process of
deeper reflection, a new impulse
for Europe, a new future for
Europe.”
“We need a few weeks to prepare this process,” Tusk said.
The immediate reaction to the
British departure — also called
the Brexit — in the EU parliament was emotional Tuesday.
Nigel Farage, a British member of the European Parliament
and a leader in Britain’s “leave”
movement, was booed and jeered
when he urged Europe to give
Britain a good trade deal when it
leaves, saying jobs in Germany’s
auto sector might be at stake if it
doesn’t.
“Why don’t we just be pragmatic, sensible, grown up, reasonable
… and cut a sensible tariff-free
deal?” he asked.
In a speech interrupted several
times, Farage warned, “The UK
will not be the last member state
to leave the European Union.”
Bearing out his words, French
far-right leader Marine Le Pen
called the British vote “an extraordinary victory for democracy — a slap for a European
system based more and more on
fear, blackmail and lies.”
German Chancellor Angela
Merkel, meanwhile, said Tuesday that she will use “all her
strength” to prevent the EU from
drifting apart. At the EU summit, she and other leaders hoped
to hear Cameron’s position and
chart the way forward. Cameron,
head of the failed “remain” side,
has said he will not be the leader
to invoke Article 50, leaving that
for his predecessor, who is to be
chosen by October.
Britain’s “leave” leaders hope
the nation can still enjoy many
perks of the EU internal market for business while being able
to deny EU citizens entry to the
U.K. to address concerns about
unlimited
EU
immigration.
Merkel, head of the EU’s biggest
economy, made clear that isn’t an
option.
In an address to the German
Parliament before heading to
Brussels, Merkel said she expects
that Britain will want to maintain
“close relations” with the EU
once it leaves, but warned it cannot expect a business-as-usual
approach.
Israel bans access for non-Muslims to Jerusalem holy site
BY A RON H ELLER
Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Israeli police on Tuesday banned non-Muslims from a contentious Jerusalem holy site until the end of the
Muslim holy month of Ramadan following
two days of clashes with Palestinian rioters
at the site.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said
rocks and other objects were hurled toward
police forces and Jewish worshippers in a
nearby plaza. A 73-year-old woman was
lightly wounded, and police arrested 16
suspects in the disturbances that have been
going on for three days, Rosenfeld said.
As a result, police decided to close access
to Jewish worshippers and other visitors for
the remainder of the week to prevent tensions with Muslim worshippers until Ramadan is over.
Since Sunday, Palestinians had holed up
in the Al-Aqsa Mosque atop the mount and
attacked officers with fireworks and other
objects they had stockpiled inside.
The mosque is part of a compound sacred
to both Muslims and Jews. Muslims refer
to it as the Noble Sanctuary, where they believe the Prophet Muhammad embarked on
a night journey to heaven. Jews refer to it
as the Temple Mount, where the two Jewish
temples stood in biblical times.
Violence had erupted at the site in midSeptember before spreading elsewhere.
Since then, Palestinians have carried out
dozens of attacks, including stabbings,
shootings and car-ramming assaults, killing 32 Israelis and two visiting Americans.
About 200 Palestinians have been killed
during that time, most identified by Israel
as attackers.
Also Tuesday, visiting U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon told Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that while
he understood Israel’s security concerns,
any measures it took would not “solve the
underlying causes of the cycles of violence”
that have plagued the region.
“I encourage you to take the courageous
steps necessary to prevent a one-state reality of perpetual conflict that is incompatible with realizing the national aspirations
of Israeli and Palestinian people,” Ban
said, speaking in Jerusalem alongside
Netanyahu.
Netanyahu asked Ban to use his final six
months in office to rectify what he called
the United Nations’ unfair treatment of Israel. He singled out the U.N. Human Rights
Council, which he said always condemns
Israel, the “country that does more to promote and protect human rights and liberal
values than any other in the blood-soaked
Middle East.”

“T
he British vote against the
European Union represented the revolt of the poor
against the rich, the provinces against the metropolis, the losers of
globalization against the elite.” I’m sure
you’ve heard some version of that general
analysis of last week’s Brexit vote. It’s a
fine-sounding cliché. But before it hardens
into conventional wisdom, please remember that, like so many of the facts sold to
the public during this referendum campaign, it isn’t entirely true.
Yes, the voting statistics do say that the
supporters of “leave” were, by and large,
poorer and less educated. They also show
that support for “remain” was highest in
cities, and especially high around universities. But the statistics don’t tell you everything. They don’t tell you, for example,
that the intellectual and financial architects of the Brexit campaign were, in fact,
fully paid-up members of the metropolitan
elite. Nor do they tell you how different the
views of those leaders were from the voters
they won over, or from one another.
Just to start with, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, the two leading conservative
supporters of Brexit, are political columnists. Johnson, a former mayor of London
who was famously pro-business and proimmigration, is still paid to write a weekly
column for the pro-Brexit Daily Telegraph.
Gove, formerly of the Times, is married to
a columnist on the pro-Brexit Daily Mail.
I am not objecting to their transition from
newspapers to politics, just pointing out
that neither is accurately described as
poor, provincial or anti-establishment. …
The newspaper editors and proprietors
who backed the loudly anti-elitist Brexit
campaign are even more well-heeled. On
the eve of voting day, the Daily Mail ran
this headline: “Lies. Greedy Elites. Or a
great future outside a broken, dying Europe: If you believe in Britain, vote Leave.”
The Daily Mail’s editor, Paul Dacre,
earned 2.4 million pounds in 2014. Its proprietor, Viscount Rothermere (aka Jonathan Harmsworth), is worth $1.21 billion,
according to Forbes, a sum that does not
make him a victim of global free trade. I
could tell the same story about the Rupert
Murdoch-owned Sun (voting day headline: “Be-Leave!”) and the Daily Express,
whose owner, Richard Desmond, donated
1 million pounds to the U.K. Independence
Party in 2015.
By contrast, the libertarian and freemarket journalists and businessmen who
opposed the EU, and have done so for
many years, are not hypocrites. The economist Patrick Minford has long argued that
Britain should unilaterally scrap all trade
deals, accept the manufacturing losses,
drop EU regulation on workers’ rights and
live off services. A group of London investors wrote a letter stating that “the EU’s
approach to regulation now poses a genuine threat to our financial services industry.” But if they are not hypocrites, neither
are they uneducated and dispossessed.
Minford, an Oxford graduate, has a chair
at Cardiff University. Among the letter’s
signatories was Crispin Odey, net worth 1.1
billion pounds, also a funder of the leave
campaign.
There are other sincere Euroskeptics,
people who argue about whether the joint
writing of legislation means too great a
loss of sovereignty, as well as many, many
people who are nostalgic for a different
and more English England. I spent Sunday
afternoon with some of them. It involved
green lawns and clinking glasses, and none
of them seemed particularly undernourished either.
But here is the trouble: That elite version
of Brexit — England as an offshore haven,
a deregulated zone, an arcadian haven, a
cosmopolitan business center, the Dubai
of the North Atlantic — was not what the
Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph sold
in the campaign, and it isn’t what the leave
campaign put on their billboards. Instead,
the papers repeated scare stories about immigration and the campaign bus promised
that 350 million pounds a week, a completely invented number, would be paid to
the National Health Service. The idealists
want pure sovereignty; the hedge funds
want deregulation; the voters voted for the
welfare state.
The result is chaos. The leave campaign
does not have a common vision and does
not have a common plan because its members wouldn’t be able to agree on one. …
How long will it be before the next revolution — this time against the pro-Brexit
elite?

A Washington Post editorial
T
he debate over former Virginia
Gov. Robert McDonnell’s favorsfor-gifts-and-loans scandal has always turned on how to distinguish
between official corruption on the one hand
and run-of-the-mill political sleaze on the
other. On Monday a unanimous Supreme
Court, in scrapping McDonnell’s conviction and sparing him from prison, at least
for now, suggested that McDonnell’s conduct may have been of the latter variety.
Writing for the court, Chief Justice John
Roberts offered a narrow and exceptionally permissive interpretation of what constitutes actual corruption. In doing so, he also
created an aura of forgiveness on behalf of
the sort of quotidian back-scratching, influence-peddling and favor-doing — much
of it greased by cash — that repels and has
soured so many Americans on politics as
usual.
The court explicitly recognized that
McDonnell’s actions were “distasteful,” or
worse; they included accepting $175,000
worth of gifts and loans from a wealthy
Virginia businessman, Jonnie Williams.
Williams sought and received the gover-
nor’s help in advancing the prospects of a
tobacco-based diet supplement of no proven efficacy while showering the pliable
McDonnell and his even more willing wife
with baubles, vacations and other tangible
benefits that any layman would recognize
as a big fat bribe.
Yet, Roberts wrote, the court’s concern
was not “tawdry tales of Ferraris, Rolexes,
and ball gowns” — a very partial list of the
goods Williams showered upon the McDonnells — but whether the quid pro quo
from the governor amounted to a specific
and tangible “official act” that went beyond routine courtesies and services for a
constituent.
The court didn’t answer that question,
ruling only that the federal trial court in
McDonnell’s 2014 trial had offered the jury
an overly expansive definition of “official
acts” that would trigger a bribery conviction. Prosecutors must now decide whether
to retry McDonnell on the severely constricted legal standard for corruption the
Supreme Court has now established.
Roberts insisted the government would
still be able to make cases against corrupt
officeholders. In fact, it will be much more
difficult. In the McDonnell case, prosecu-
tors showed that the former governor’s
interventions on behalf of Williams often
followed directly — in some cases, within minutes — after the businessman had
greased his or his wife’s palm. Yet those
interventions, which included strong suggestions that state officials help Williams
by persuading state university researchers
to test his firm’s diet supplement, may have
been insufficiently overt or conclusive to
meet the court’s narrow definition of an
“official act.”
That will give comfort to other ethicsscorning politicians who face prosecutorial
scrutiny now and in the future, including
Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., who faces
federal corruption charges.
McDonnell, who previously apologized
to Virginians for the embarrassment his
conduct in office caused them, now hails
the court’s decision as vindication for his
insistence that he broke no law. It may turn
out that he’s right. If it does, however, the
court’s ruling will mean that sticky-fingered public officials can skate right up
to the line of outright bribery with far less
trepidation and legal risk than good government and sound ethics demand.

OPINION
Justice Kennedy’s surprisingly open mind
BY DAVID COLE
Special to The Washington Post
F
or years, the Roberts court has
been, for all practical purposes,
the Kennedy court. It has almost
always been Anthony Kennedy,
not Chief Justice John Roberts, who has
provided the decisive vote in closely divided cases — leading the court, year
after year, to reach more liberal outcomes
than many expected. Whether on marriage equality, mandatory life sentences
for juveniles, the detention of enemy combatants at Guantanamo, overcrowded prisons or Arizona’s anti-immigration laws,
Kennedy has parted company with fellow
conservatives to recognize the rights of the
disadvantaged.
Kennedy’s decisive role — siding sometimes with his conservative colleagues,
sometimes with the more liberal bloc —
seemed likely to shift when Justice Antonin
Scalia died, leaving the court equally split
at 4 to 4. On issues that divide along traditional ideological lines, many assumed the
court would be hopelessly deadlocked. Ties
did happen this term, most notably in the
review of President Barack Obama’s immigration initiative, letting stand a lowercourt injunction that blocked the program.
Yet Kennedy once again managed to cast
the decisive vote in the term’s two most
controversial — and consequential — decisions: on affirmative action and abortion.
And he did it, as he so often has in the past,
by being willing not just to break rank, but
to reconsider his own prior judgments.
In the term’s biggest surprise, Kennedy
swallowed his own longstanding antipathy
to race-conscious remedies to uphold an
affirmative action plan at the University
of Texas. He had never before seen an affirmative action policy he could support.
In 1990, he compared a Federal Communications Commission “broadcast diversity” program to South Africa’s apartheid
regime. When the court in 2003 upheld an
affirmative action plan at the University
EVAN VUCCI /AP
Demonstrators gather outside the Supreme Court on Thursday. In a major victory for
affirmative action, the justices voted 4-3 to uphold the University of Texas admissions
program that takes account of race. Justice Anthony Kennedy voted with the majority.
of Michigan law school, Kennedy issued
a passionate dissent, calling the school’s
quest for a “critical mass” for diversity
purposes “a delusion used by the Law
School to mask its attempt to make race an
automatic factor in most instances.”
And in an earlier appeal in the University of Texas case, Kennedy wrote the majority opinion overturning a lower-court
decision for failing to apply sufficiently
rigorous scrutiny.
So most court-watchers expected the
Texas program to fall. Even after Scalia’s
death, that result seemed likely, because
Justice Elena Kagan was recused, giving
what looked like a clear majority to the remaining four conservatives, all of whom
were strongly on record in opposition to af-
firmative action.
Yet in Fisher v. University of Texas,
Kennedy blinked. Holding the power to
end affirmative action, he instead voted to
uphold the practice. Siding with Justices
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and
Sonia Sotomayor, he reasoned that Texas’
consideration of race satisfied “strict scrutiny” because the university had tried and
considered race-neutral alternatives, and
because race was only a modest “factor of
a factor of a factor” in a holistic consideration of the applicant’s file. Diversity, he
argued, could not be reduced to a precise
number, and the university had to be given
deference in its assessment of diversity’s
educational benefits. Affirmative action
survived.
Then, on the court’s last day of the term,
Kennedy again sided with the liberal justices, this time to strike down Texas’ regulations of abortion clinics. At issue in the
case were rules requiring doctors at abortion clinics to obtain “admitting privileges”
at nearby hospitals, and imposing on abortion clinics the much higher — and more
costly — standards mandated for “ambulatory surgical centers.” The rules had
resulted in the closure of half the state’s
abortion facilities.
Kennedy’s vote in Whole Woman’s
Health v. Hellerstedt was critical; a 4-to-4
split along liberal-conservative lines would
have left standing the lower-court decision
upholding Texas’ restrictions. Instead, in a
5-to-3 opinion written by Breyer but joined
by Kennedy, the court held that the restrictions, ostensibly enacted in the name of
women’s health, in fact furthered no health
interests whatsoever, and instead created
significant obstacles for women seeking
abortions.
The Whole Woman’s Health decision
gives teeth to the “undue burden” standard that the court announced in 1992 in
Planned Parenthood v. Casey. In Casey,
too, Kennedy broke rank with his conservative colleagues — despite his own prior
criticisms of Roe v. Wade — to uphold the
core of the abortion right against a Reagan
administration-backed effort that seemed
likely to overturn it. There, as in Fisher,
Kennedy stopped short of reversing established precedent. But in the years since,
until Monday’s ruling, Kennedy had not
encountered another abortion restriction
he considered undue.
Breaking with one’s peers and rethinking one’s commitments are not easy. In
our increasingly divided political culture,
many of us rarely do. But it is the welcome
sign of an open mind, an attribute especially important in those who hold the power to
enforce constitutional law.

Candidates know political language allows for lies
BY BARTON SWAIM
Special to the Los Angeles Times
H
ouyhnhnms, the noble talking horses in Jonathan Swift’s
“Gulliver’s Travels,” had no
word for “lie.” They did not engage in the petty subterfuge of politics and
didn’t need a word to signify it. The closest
they could come is the locution “to say the
thing which is not.” But lying is much more
complex than saying something that isn’t
the case. A genuine lie — a lie in the moral
sense — must be intended to deceive, and
must be expressed to someone to whom the
truth is owed. You aren’t lying if you misstate a statistic without intending to, or if
you give a fake name to a prying stranger
on the subway.
In today’s political sphere, the word “lie”
is applied to all sorts of things that aren’t
that. George W. Bush administration officials weren’t just wrong about weapons of
mass destruction in Iraq; they “lied” about
it. Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., wasn’t content
simply to disagree with President Barack
Obama’s assertion in 2009 that his health
care proposal would not cover illegal immigrants; he had to shout “You lie!”
“To lie” has come to mean “to say something I strongly disagree with.” In 1988,
GOP presidential candidate Bob Dole demanded that Vice President George H.W.
Bush “stop lying about (his) record,” and
that word was still sufficiently uncommon
to generate surprise and controversy. Since
then it has become numbingly routine.
Marco Rubio’s complaint about Ted Cruz
was typically intense: “He’s lied about my
record on Planned Parenthood, he’s lied
about my position on marriage, he’s lied
about his own record on immigration.” Indeed, almost every candidate in this year’s
presidential primaries (Ben Carson was
a notable exception) accused at least one
other candidate of lying. And so most campaigns go, on the left and right.
What the L-word’s promiscuous users
don’t realize — or deliberately ignore — is
that the language of politics does not lend
itself to uncomplicated judgments about
truth versus falsehood. In most cases, political language isn’t meant to convey information at all, but to preserve careers
or avoid trouble; it is aimed not at persuasion but at electoral victory. Claims made
in the political sphere tend to be obtuse
and vapid, neither wholly true nor wholly
false. There is plenty of disingenuousness
in politics, and lots of grossly tendentious
factual claims, but those aren’t quite the
same as lies.
Allegations of dishonesty, moreover,
make debate impossible. You can’t discuss anything with someone who calls you
a liar. The accusation destroys the good
faith that makes discussion, even heated
discussion, possible. Hence parliamentary rules strictly forbid the accusation of
deliberate untruth — not because anyone
thinks politicians cannot tell a lie, but because once the accusation is allowed into
debate, debate is at an end and the whole
affair descends into heckling. Savvy politicians have usually found a way around the
rule (there is an old joke about a member
of parliament being forced to withdraw his
remark that half the Cabinet are liars. “I
withdraw the remark,” he says. “Half the
Cabinet are not liars”). But the prohibition
is a valuable and necessary one.
All this brings us to a serious problem.
After abusing the word “lie” and its cognates for decades, we are currently faced
with a choice between two pathologically
dishonest candidates — and we have no
word strong enough to call them what they
are. Donald Trump’s lies are wanton and
preposterous, whereas Hillary Clinton’s
are more obviously calculated to win approval, but both have exhibited a tendency
to say things that are manifestly and peremptorily false.
Consider only the most egregious instances. Trump insists that “thousands”
of Muslims were cheering in New Jersey on 9/11, a shockingly stupid invention
from which he nonetheless refused to back
down; that he warned the U.S. government
of Osama bin Laden’s danger before 9/11,
though there is no record of this instance
of his sagacity; that the 9/11 hijackers’
wives “knew exactly what was going to
happen,” though the hijackers were almost
all unmarried; that the Bush White House
tried to silence his opposition to the Iraq
War, though there was no opposition from
Trump to silence.
Clinton’s career offers a similarly dizzying array of bogus claims — that she had
known nothing about the firing of White
House travel office employees in 1993,
though she had orchestrated it; that she
deplaned in Bosnia under sniper fire; that
she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary,
who climbed Everest when she was 5; that
she was a fierce critic of NAFTA “from the
very beginning” when in fact she worked
to get it passed; that she “did not email any
classified material to anyone,” though of
course she did, many times.
These and similar claims by both candidates are not exaggerations or embellishments or just twisted renditions of the
facts. They’re … well, they’re the commonest word in politics. And so not much
of anything.

FACES
Home on the stage
Maren Morris comfortable in front of diverse audiences
BY K RISTIN M. H ALL
Associated Press
Over the course of a week in June, country singer
Maren Morris crisscrossed the country, performing
on late night and daytime talk shows, opening up
for Keith Urban’s new tour and playing two major
music festivals in Tennessee.
“Oh my god, how many cities have I been in this
week? I don’t even know what day it is,” Morris, 26,
joked backstage after a sound check at Nissan Stadium during the CMA Music Festival in Nashville.
Spurred by strong streaming activity and a hooky
single called “My Church” — that was covered
recently by “The Voice” contestant Mary Sarah
— Morris’ major-label debut, “Hero,” topped the
Billboard country album charts in its first week, the
first time a new artist has done so since Sam Hunt
in 2014.
As kid growing up in Arlington, Texas, the diminutive singer with the naturally alto vocal range
fantasized of stages this big. By high school, she was
playing small gigs around Texas and even recording
and releasing her own music.
“I never really saw it getting to this level,” Morris
said. “This week has been an amplified version of
what I thought it could be. . . . It’s like your dreams
on steroids.”
After several years on the Texas music circuit,
she came to Nashville and started writing songs
for other artists, including Tim McGraw and Kelly
Clarkson. She did a lot of acoustic writers-in-theround-type performances, but she longed for the
bigger production.
Morris had recording offers from more than one
Nashville label, but ultimately the new CEO and
Chairman of Sony Music Nashville, Randy Goodman, made her a very aggressive offer. Sony has one
of the strongest female lineups in Nashville with superstars like Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lam-
bert, as well as newcomer Cam, but Goodman said
Morris has crossover potential.
“If the music is right and the timing is right and
the other formats are looking for something that is
unique and different, I think they are going to find it
in Maren,” Goodman said.
All of the songs on “Hero,” released this month,
were co-written by Morris and she helped co-produce the album with busbee (Lady Antebellum,
Shakira) and Brad Hill (Brothers Osborne). “Hero”
features her love of big ’90s pop choruses, combined
with her sharp and
catchy lyrics and sulIf the music

“There’s a major

Former rap mogul sues Chris Brown over club shooting
Associated Press
Former rap music mogul Marion “Suge”
Knight sued Chris Brown and the owners
of a popular nightclub on Monday after he
was shot seven times at a 2014 party hosted
by the R&B singer.
The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court accuses Brown and the nightclub
1 Oak of failing to have adequate security
and allowing at least one armed person
into the venue during the party.
Knight survived gunshot wounds to
the abdomen, chest and left forearm. The
Death Row Records co-founder has cited
complications from those injuries, including a blood clot, in court appearances on an
unrelated murder charge.
His attorneys say Knight’s fear months
after the shooting led him to flee when
he was attacked in his car, running down
two men and killing one. Knight, who is a
two-time convicted felon, is in jail awaiting
trial.
The lawsuit does not state how much
money Knight is seeking, but it asks for a
judgment ordering the defendants to pay
past and future medical expenses for his
injuries.
Emails sent to Brown’s attorney, Mark
Geragos, and the owners of 1 Oak’s West
Hollywood club were not immediately returned Monday. 1 Oak also has clubs in
New York, Las Vegas and Mexico City.
The lawsuit contends 1 Oak should have
taken special security precautions because
events hosted by Brown have a history of
violence. It accuses
Brown of gang ties
and a “well-documented track record
of hosting events
and/or parties in
which violence frequently erupted.”
Brown has comKnight
pleted probation in
a 2009 felony assault case in which
he attacked singer
Rihanna, his thengirlfriend. He has
not been implicated
in the August 2014
shooting, and no
Brown
arrests have been
made.
Knight also was
shot and wounded at a 2005 party hosted
by Kanye West in Miami Beach. He sued
the rapper, blaming him for lax security,
but a judge ruled in West’s favor after concluding there was no evidence a shooting
was foreseeable.
Justin Timberlake apologizes
for tweet after backlash
Justin Timberlake, who praised actoractivist Jesse Williams’ moving speech at
the BET Awards, has apologized for responding to a tweet claiming he appropriates black culture.
Timberlake tweeted Sunday that he was
inspired after Williams spoke passionately
about racism and social injustice. A responder tweeted to Timberlake: “Does this
mean you’re going to stop appropriating
our music and culture?”
Timberlake responded: “The more you
realize that we are the same, the more we

The pop singer said he felt “misunderstood” after some said his response was
insensitive. Timberlake ended with: “I
apologize to anyone that felt I was out of
turn. I have nothing but LOVE FOR YOU
AND ALL OF US.”

on Sunday night.
Judge says no hurry
in determining Prince claims
A Minnesota judge overseeing the legal
proceedings surrounding Prince’s estate
said Monday there will be no quick decisions on who should be allowed to inherit
from the late megastar.
Prince died in late April of an accidental
drug overdose, with no known will or children. A sister and five half-siblings are in
line to inherit, with several others claiming a tie to the performer.
While attorneys for Tyka Nelson,
Prince’s sister, and others pushed for a
quick resolution to establish control of an
estate estimated at $300 million or more,
the court first needs to set ground rules for
which claimants can be considered.
Noting the complexity of claims and parentage law, Carver County District Judge
Kevin Eide said he may forward his eventual decision to an appellate court for immediate review, drawing out the process
even longer.

WIRED WORLD
New tech takes center stage in NY
Moldable earbuds,
3-D pens among
new products on
display at CE Week
BY BREE FOWLER
Associated Press
NEW YORK — From a 3-D pen that lets
kids safely doodle with melted plastic to
an electrically charged glass that makes
beer taste bubblier, there was no shortage
of fun and quirky gadgets at this year’s CE
Week.
Last week’s annual, three-day gadget
show in New York is meant as a showcase
for products coming out for the holidays,
though many items are still in development
or seeking investments through groupfundraising sites such as Indiegogo.
Here are five notable gadgets featured
at the show.
Pen for “drawing” 3D sculptures.
There’s now a kid-safe version of the
3Doodler 3-D printing pen, which melts
sticks of colored plastic into goo that
shoots out of the pen tip to create 3-D
sculptures. With both versions, the plastic
hardens quickly, so you can draw into the
air without worrying about your creation
collapsing.
The kids’ version has no hot parts. The
plastic coming out is cool enough to touch.
A kids’ starter pack includes a pen, an
ideas book and two packs of plastic sticks.
The kid-friendly set costs $50, half the
price of the regular version.
The kids’ version is for ages 8 and up
and will be in stores in a few months.
Earbuds for everyone. Finding earbuds
that fit comfortably and don’t fall out can
be a challenge, especially for people with
uniquely shaped ears.
Decibullz touts its earbuds as the first
to be both custom and wireless. They are
made of a plastic that softens in hot water.
The putty conforms to the inside shapes of
your ears and hardens in about two minutes. If you don’t get it right the first time,
just pop the earbuds back in hot water and
start over.
And don’t worry about mixing electronics and water. The buds come off the wireless headset while you’re adjusting the fit.
The set sells for $120 through the company’s website.
For beer with an extra buzz. Global
Ionics has a glass that uses a small amount
of electric current to boost the flavor and
fizziness of drinks, be it flavored water,
fruit juice or wine.
The current is generated by one AAA
battery housed in the base of the glass.
The current flows from the glass through
its beverage into the mouth.
During a demo, the charge gave beer a
pleasant extra fizziness when taking little
sips. But it can make your face numb when
you drink continually. So, best not to overdo it.
This technology is still in the ideas stage.
Global Ionics says it hopes to license it to a
beer company or a medical-device manufacturer — for instance, to boost the effectiveness of bubbly flu treatments.
Gaming without screens. ROXs, billed
as a “real-life gaming console,” is designed to get gamer kids active and away
from their screens.

demonstrates how his company’s
earpieces are custom molded to the
unique shape of the wearer’s ears.

Maxwell Bogue, co-founder of WobbleWorks, uses a 3Doodler, a 3-D printing pen,
to create a bridge. There’s now a kid-safe version of the pen, which melts sticks of
colored plastic into goo that shoots out of the pen tip to create 3-D sculptures.
The kit from A-Champs comes with
three ROXs, which look like flat stones
about the size of a saucer. You strap them
to kids, trees or just about anything else.
Kids can choose one of 10 games. “Crazy
Chicken,” for instance, challenges kids to
race between ROXs and touch as many as
they can, as fast as they can, as the gadgets
beep and light up.
The starter package is expected to sell
for $130 through the company’s website,
though you can order one now through Indiegogo for $10 less. It’s expected to start
shipping this fall.
HD in 3D. GoPro cameras are great for
action footage, but they don’t shoot in 3-D.
Fantem now has a clip-on 3-D lens for it.
Fantem’s Vitrima 3-D lens costs $80
through Indiegogo. The company plans to
start shipping them next month and says
it’s in talks to get them on store shelves.

BY TOM K RISHER
DEE-A NN DURBIN
AND
Associated Press
DETROIT — Volkswagen will
spend $14.7 billion to settle consumer lawsuits and government
allegations that it cheated on
emissions tests in what lawyers
are calling the largest auto-related class-action settlement in U.S.
history.
Under the settlement revealed
Tuesday by a U.S. District Court
in San Francisco, VW will pay just
over $10 billion to either buy back
or repair about 475,000 vehicles
with cheating 2-liter diesel engines. The company also will compensate owners with payments of
$5,100 to $10,000, depending on
the age of their vehicles.
The German automaker also
has to pay governments $2.7 billion for environmental mitigation and spend another $2 billion
for research on zero-emissions
vehicles.
VW is still facing billions more
in fines and penalties as well as
possible criminal charges. A lawsuit by state attorneys general
against the company apparently
has been settled, but terms were
not available early Tuesday.
Volkswagen
has
admitted
that the 2-liter diesels were programmed to turn on emissions
controls during government lab
tests and turn them off while on
the road. Lawyers are still working on settlements for another
80,000 vehicles with 3-liter diesel
engines. The company got away
with the scheme for seven years.
As part of the settlement, VW
must offer to buy back most of the
affected cars or terminate their
leases. That’s because, according
to court documents filed Tuesday,
there currently is no repair that
can bring the cars into compliance
with U.S. pollution regulations. If
VW does propose a repair, it must
be approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and the
California Air Resources Board.
Owners who choose to have
VW buy back their cars would
get the clean trade-in value from
before the scandal became public on Sept. 18, 2015. The average
value of a VW diesel has dropped
19 percent since just before the
scandal began. Last August, the
average was $13,196; last month,
it was $10,674, according to Kelley Blue Book.
If VW can come up with a repair that meets EPA and California standards, it’s likely to hurt the
cars’ acceleration and fuel economy. Volkswagen marketed the
cars as both more fuel-efficient
and better performing than those
with regular gasoline engines.
The settlement still requires a
judge’s approval before it can go
into effect. Owners can choose to
decline Volkswagen’s offer and
sue the company on their own.
The company has to buy back or
repair 85 percent of the vehicles
or pay even more money into an
environmental trust fund.
“This historic agreement holds
Volkswagen accountable for its
betrayal of consumer trust and
requires Volkswagen to repair the
environmental damage it caused,”
said Elizabeth Cabraser, the lead
attorney for consumers who sued
the company.
Unless it can develop a suitable
fix, VW may be forced to buy back
all the 2-liter vehicles. It appears
from documents filed by the Justice Department and EPA that the
technology might not be available
to fix them. VW has been working
on a fix since around the time the
scandal broke.

finals opener
Summitt: Coach helped raise
women’s game from obscurity
FROM BACK PAGE
down. At her retirement, Summitt’s eight
national titles ranked behind the 10 won
by former UCLA men’s coach John Wooden. UConn coach Geno Auriemma passed
Summitt after she retired.
When she stepped down, Summitt called
her coaching career a “great ride.”
President Barack Obama issued a statement in which he cited Summitt’s victories
and championships while noting “her legacy, however, is measured much more by
the generations of young women and men
who admired Pat’s intense competitiveness and character, and as a result found
in themselves the confidence to practice
hard, play harder, and live with courage on
and off the court.”
Obama added that “her Hall of Fame
career would tell the story of the historic
progress toward equality in American athletics that she helped advance.”
“Pat started playing college hoops before Title IX and started coaching before
the NCAA recognized women’s basketball
as a sport,” Obama said. “When she took
the helm at Tennessee as a 22-year-old, she
had to wash her players’ uniforms; by the
time Pat stepped down as the Lady Vols’
head coach, her teams wore eight championship rings and had cut down nets in soldout stadiums.”
Peyton Manning, who sought Summitt’s
advice about returning to Tennessee for
his senior season or going to the NFL, said
it would have been a great experience to
play for her.
“She could have coached any team, any
sport, men’s or women’s. It wouldn’t have
mattered because Pat could flat out coach,”
Manning said in a statement. “I will miss
her dearly, and I am honored to call her my
friend. My thoughts and prayers are with
Tyler and their entire family.”
Summitt was a tough taskmaster with a
frosty glower that could strike the fear of
failure in her players. She punished one
team that stayed up partying before an
early morning practice by running them
until they vomited. She even placed garbage cans in the gym so they’d have somewhere to be sick.
Nevertheless, she enjoyed such an intimate relationship with her players that
they called her “Pat.”
Summitt never had a losing record and
her teams made the NCAA Tournament
every season. She began her coaching career at Tennessee in the 1974-75 season,
when her team finished 16-8.
With a 75-54 victory against Purdue
on March 22, 2005, she earned her 880th
victory, moving her past North Carolina’s
Dean Smith as the all-time winningest
coach in NCAA history. She earned her
1,000th career win with a 73-43 victory
against Georgia on Feb. 5, 2009.
Summitt won 16 Southeastern Conference regular season titles, as well as 16
conference tournament titles. She was
an eight-time SEC coach of the year and
seven-time NCAA coach of the year. She
also coached the U.S. women’s Olympic
team to the 1984 gold medal.
In 2006, Tennessee made Summitt the
first millionaire coach in women’s basketball with a contract paying $1.125 million.
She was paid $1.5 million in the final year
of the six-year contract in 2011-12.
Summitt’s greatest adversary on the
court was Auriemma. The two teams
played 22 times from 1995-2007. Summitt
ended the series after the 2007 season.
“Pat’s vision for the game of women’s
basketball and her relentless drive pushed
the game to a new level and made it pos-
Summitt’s milestones
Here’s a look at some of the milestone victories
Pat Summitt achieved on her way to posting the
most career victories of any NCAA Division I men’s
or women’s coach:
No. 1: Jan. 10, 1975 — In her second game as a
head coach, the 22-year-old Summitt (then known
as Pat Head) led Tennessee to a 69-32 victory over
Middle Tennessee State in front of 53 fans in Knoxville, Tenn.
No. 100: Jan. 13, 1979 — She reaches the century
mark in her fourth season with a 79-66 victory over
North Carolina State in Raleigh, North Carolina.
No. 200: Dec. 3, 1982 — She needs even less time
to earn her second 100 wins than it took to get her
first 100. Three seasons later, the 200th comes as a
69-56 victory over St. John’s in Detroit as part of the
Coca-Cola Classic.
Olympic gold: Aug. 7, 1984 — Chery Miller has
16 points and 11 rebounds as a U.S. Olympic team
coached by Summitt breezes by South Korea, 85-55,
in the championship game, giving the U.S. its first
gold medal in women’s basketball.
No. 319: March 29, 1987 — She wins her first
national championship in Austin, Texas, when Tennessee rolls to a 67-44 victory over Louisiana Tech,
which had beaten the Lady Vols nine straight times.
Seven times before, Summitt had led Tennessee to
an AIAW or NCAA semifinal without winning the
title.
No. 385: April 2, 1989 — Bridgette Gordon scores
27 points as Tennessee beats Auburn 76-60 in Tacoma, Washington, to give Summitt her second national championship.
No. 442: March 31, 1991 — In the first NCAA
women’s basketball final to go to overtime, Dena
Head scores 28 points as Tennessee wins its third
national title with a 70-67 victory over Virginia.
No. 596: March 31, 1996 — After beating Connecticut in an overtime semifinal, Tennessee rolls to
an 83-65 win over Georgia in Charlotte, N.C., to give
Summitt her fourth national title. Chamique Holdsclaw and Tiffany Johnson each score 16 points.
No. 625: March 30, 1997 — Chamique Holdsclaw
scores 24 points as Tennessee earns its second
straight national title with a 68-59 win over Old Dominion in Cincinnati. The latest title gives Summitt a
career total of five national championships.
No. 664: March 29, 1998 — Chamique Holdsclaw,
Tamika Catchings and Semeka Randall combine for
62 points and 25 rebounds as Tennessee caps an
undefeated season by winning its third straight national title with a 93-75 victory over Louisiana Tech
in Kansas City, Mo. The 39-0 season ends with Summitt’s sixth national championship.
No. 876: March 4, 2005 — Summitt ties Adolph
Rupp for second place on the all-time wins list by
any men’s or women’s coach as Tennessee beats 6454 Auburn in the Southeastern Conference tournament quarterfinals at Greenville, South Carolina.
No. 877: March 5, 2005 — Summitt passes Rupp
when Tennessee beats Vanderbilt 76-73 in the semifinals of the SEC tournament in Greenville, S.C. Tennessee would go on to win the tournament.
No. 879: March 20, 2005 — Tennessee’s 94-43
over Western Carolina in the first round of the NCAA
Tournament at Knoxville allows Summitt to tie Dean
Smith for first on the all-time win list among men’s
or women’s coaches.
No. 880: March 22, 2005 — Summitt passes
Smith when Tennessee beats Purdue 75-54 in the
second round of the NCAA Tournament in Knoxville.
The school honors the coach in a surprise ceremony
by naming its basketball court at Thompson-Boling
Arena “The Summitt.”
No. 947: March 3, 2007 — Candace Parker scores
17 points and Nicky Anosike gets 16 rebounds as
Tennessee beats Rutgers 59-46 in Cleveland to give
Summitt her seventh national championship.
No. 983: March 8, 2008 — Candace Parker’s 17
points help Summitt win her eighth and final national title with a 64-48 victory over Stanford.
No. 1,000: Feb. 5, 2009 — Summitt becomes the
first men’s or women’s coach in college basketball
history to reach 1,000 wins when Tennessee trounces Georgia 73-43 in Knoxville. Tennessee had lost 8070 to No. 2 Oklahoma at Oklahoma City three days
earlier in Summitt’s first attempt at the 1,000th win.
No. 1,098: March 24, 2012 — Meighan Simmons
scores 22 points off the bench as Tennessee rallies
from 14 points down to give Summitt her final victory in an 84-73 regional semifinal win over Kansas
at Des Moines, Iowa. Tennessee would lose 77-58 to
eventual national champion Baylor two days later.

sible for the rest of us to accomplish what
we did,” Auriemma said at the time of her
retirement.
In 1999, Summitt was inducted as part of
the inaugural class of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. She made the Naismith
Basketball Hall of Fame a year later.
She also received the Presidential Medal
of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian
honor.
Summitt was such a competitor that she
refused to let a pilot land in Virginia when
she went into labor while on a recruiting
trip in 1990. Virginia had beaten her Lady
Vols a few months earlier, preventing them
from playing for a national title on their
home floor.
But it was only in 2012 when being honored with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award
that Summitt shared she had six miscarriages before giving birth to her son, Tyler.

etta, Tenn., and graduated from Cheatham
County Central High School just west of
Nashville. She played college basketball
at the University of Tennessee at Martin
where she received her bachelor’s degree
in physical education. She was the co-captain of the 1976 U.S. Olympic team, which
won the silver medal.
After playing at UT Martin, she was
hired as a graduate assistant at Tennessee and took over when the previous head
coach left.
She wrote a motivational book in 1998,
“Reach for the Summitt.” Additionally, she
worked with Sally Jenkins on “Raise the
Roof,” a book about the 1997-98 championship season, and also detailed her battle
with dementia in a memoir, “Sum It Up,”
released in March 2013 and also co-written
with Jenkins.
“It’s hard to pinpoint the exact day that
I first noticed something wrong,” Summitt
wrote. “Over the course of a year, from
2010 to 2011, I began to experience a troubling series of lapses. I had to ask people
to remind me of the same things, over and
over. I’d ask three times in the space of an
hour, ‘What time is my meeting again?’ and then be late.”
Summitt started a foundation in her
name to fight Alzheimer’s in 2011 that has
raised millions of dollars.
After she retired, Summitt was given the
title head coach emeritus at Tennessee. She
had been cutting back her public appearances, coming to a handful of games this past
season and occasionally traveled to watch
her son Tyler coach at Louisiana Tech.
Earlier this year, Summitt moved out of
her home into an upscale retirement resort.
Summitt has two courts used by NCAA
Division I basketball teams named in her
honor: “Pat Head Summitt Court” at the
University of Tennessee-Martin, and “The
Summitt” at the University of TennesseeKnoxville. She also has two streets named
after her: “Pat Summitt Street” on the University of Tennessee-Knoxville campus
and “Pat Head Summitt Avenue” on the
University of Tennessee-Martin campus.
Summitt is survived by her mother, Hazel
Albright Head; son, Tyler Summitt; sister,
Linda; brothers, Tommy, Charles and Kenneth. A public memorial service is being
planned for Thompson-Boling Arena.
OMAHA, Neb. — JC Cloney just keeps
rolling along at the College World Series,
pushing Arizona to the doorstep of its second national championship in five years.
Cloney pitched a four-hitter, Ryan Aguilar drove in two runs and the Wildcats beat
Coastal Carolina 3-0 in Game 1 of the College World Series finals on Monday night.
Cloney extended his scoreless innings
streak at the CWS to 16. The junior lefthander pitched seven innings in the Wildcats’ 3-0 win over UC Santa Barbara last
Wednesday.
“I’m not really tired right now. The
adrenaline is still going,” said Cloney, who
threw 122 pitches. “I’m still trying to figure out what just happened.”
He wasn’t the only one. The Chanticleers, playing in the finals in their first
CWS appearance, went down in order four
times and never had a runner advance to
second base until the ninth inning.
Cloney (8-4) allowed four singles,
walked three and struck out six in the second complete game of his career. He was
spot on with his location of a fastball in the
80s, a cutter, breaking ball and changeup.
He induced 13 groundouts.
“You want to sit on a fastball, and he
throws you a cutter. And you sit on the offspeed, and he throws a fastball,” said the
Chanticleers’ Michael Paez.
The Wildcats (49-22) can wrap up their
fifth national title and first since 2012 with
a win Tuesday.
“They all know where we’re at and what
we’re doing,” first-year coach Jay Johnson
said. “We need to prepare well tonight, the
coaching staff and players alike, and get
ready to attack the opportunity.”
The Wildcats scored in the first when
Aguilar singled in Cody Ramer, who led
off with a double. Aguilar added another
RBI single in the seventh to make it 3-0.
Coastal Carolina (53-18) threatened in
the ninth. Anthony Marks singled leading off and Zach Remillard bunted down
the third-base line for a base hit on a close
play. Connor Owings hit into a double play,
and Cloney caught G.K. Young looking at
strike three to end the game.
Arizona’s defense, which has committed only one error at the CWS, continued
to come up big. Second baseman Ramer,
playing in short right field as part of a
shift in the fourth, sprinted to bare-hand
Young’s grounder. His throw to first
barely beat Young’s headfirst slide. Right
fielder Zach Gibbons went with his back to
the wall to catch Paez’s deep fly to end the
eighth inning.
“I thought I got enough of it,” Paez said,
“but knowing this field, you can’t predict
what’s going to happen.”

Katie Ledecky competes in the women’s 400-meter freestyle final Monday at the U.S. Olympic
swimming trials in Omaha, Neb. Ledecky won the event with a time of 3 minutes, 58.98 seconds.
Ledecky wins 400 free
to secure ticket to Rio
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Katie
Ledecky has set the bar so high,
it’s a bit of a disappointment when
she doesn’t set a world record.
The
19-year-old
has
no
complaints.
She’s heading back to the
Olympics.
Getting that formality out of the
way in her first event of the U.S.
swimming trials, Ledecky held
off a persistent challenge from
Leah Smith to win the 400-meter
freestyle on Monday night.
“The last 150, I just kept telling myself, ‘Rio! Rio! Rio!’” said
Ledecky, who is also a big favorite in two other freestyle races to
come. “I just tried to keep myself
fired up and didn’t really care
what the time was.”
Ledecky, who surprisingly won
her first Olympic gold at age 15
four years ago in London, is now
recognized as one of the most
dominant freestylers in history.
She set a blistering pace over the
first half of the race, putting her
more than 2 seconds ahead of the
time from her record-setting performance at the 2014 Pan Pacific
Championships in Australia.
But Ledecky tired a bit over
the final 200, another world mark
slipping away when she touched
in 3 minutes, 58.98 seconds. Smith
pushed the 19-year-old winner all
the way, also claiming an Olympic berth by finishing at 4:00.65.
The crowd of more than 14,000
groaned a bit when they saw
Ledecky’s time, but it was still the
third-fastest in history.
“That’s fast,” Ledecky said.
“That’s 3 seconds faster than
anybody else in the world. I think
we’re going to really represent
the U.S. well in that event.”
Also Monday, Dana Vollmer

locked up another trip to the
Olympics less than 16 months
after giving birth to her first
child.
She finished second in the 100
butterfly behind Olympic rookie
Kelsi Worrell, one of several
young swimmers already signaling a changing of the guard in the
first two days of the meet.
Smith will be heading to her
first Olympics. Ditto for the top
two in the 100 breaststroke, won
by Kevin Cordes followed by
Cody Miller.
That means seven Olympic
first-timers have already made
the powerful American team.
Chase Kalisz, Jay Litherland and
Maya DiRado qualified on the
first night of the trials.
“Watching the other first-time
Olympians, I feel like not a lot
of people see the background,”
Smith said. “Maya DiRado and
Kevin Cordes have been good
since 2013 and missed out ear-
lier. I was nowhere near making
the team in 2012. It’s been steady
progress.”
In the 100 fly, defending Olympic champion Vollmer led at the
turn, but the late-blooming Worrell rallied on the return lap to
post the second-fastest time in
the world this year at 56.48.
Vollmer touched next in 57.21,
giving her the second Olympic
spot.
Worrell didn’t even make the
American squad for last year’s
world championships, but she’s
Rio bound as well.
One night after stunningly
missing out on an Olympic berth
in the 400 individual medley, an
ailing Ryan Lochte swam two
more grueling races to qualify for
the final of the 200 freestyle.
Shaking off the pain of a groin
injury, Lochte got through the
morning preliminaries and posted the fifth-fastest time in the
evening semifinals.

OLYMPICS
Day, Lowry pull out of Rio over Zika concerns
BY DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
AKRON, Ohio — Jason Day
pulled out of the Olympics on
Tuesday because of the Zika
virus, costing golf its No. 1 player
as it returns from a century-long
absence at the Games.
“The sole reason for my decision is my concerns about the
possible transmission of the Zika
virus and the potential risks that
it may present to my wife’s future
pregnancies and to future members of our family,” Day said in a
statement. “I have always placed
my family in front of everything
else in my life.”
Day and his wife, Ellie, had
their second child in November,
and he has said they want more
children.
Shane Lowry of Ireland also
pulled out of the Olympics on
Tuesday because of concerns
over the Zika virus.
Lowry said he received medical
advice that he should not travel to
Rio de Janeiro. Lowry recently
married and said he hopes to
start a family soon.
Lowry is the sixth golfer to
DARRON CUMMINGS/AP
Jason Day of Australia said he will not play golf in the Rio Olympics,
citing concerns about Zika.
withdraw specifically because of
Zika. Rory McIlroy cited Zika in
pulling out last week, while Charl
Schwartzel of South Africa and
Marc Leishman of Australia previously withdrew.
Lowry said he would represent
Ireland in this year’s World Cup
in Australia.
American cyclist Tejay van
Garderen is among a handful of
athletes outside of golf who also
cited Zika as the reason behind
not going to Rio. Basketball star
Stephen Curry didn’t specifically
cite Zika but noted that “other
factors” played a role in his decision to skip the Games.
Brazil has been the hardest hit
of the approximately 60 countries
that have reported an outbreak of
Zika, the mosquito-borne virus
linked to severe birth defects and
possible neurological problems in
adults.
Day first expressed concern a
month ago at the Memorial and
said he had been consulting doctors so he could make a smart
choice.
“Medical experts have confirmed that while perhaps slight,
a decision to compete in Rio absolutely comes with health risks to
me and to my family,” Day said.
“While it has always been a major
goal to compete in the Olympics
on behalf of my country, playing
golf cannot take precedent over
the safety of our family. I will not
place them at risk. ... I hope all
golf and Olympics fans respect
and understand my position.”
Australia has three players in
the top 50 in the world, and all
of them have withdrawn — Day,
Adam Scott (No. 8) and Leishman
(No. 39). Next in line would be
Scott Hend (No. 75) and Marcus
Fraser (No. 81).
Day had been among the strongest proponents of competing in
the Olympics, as had McIlroy and
other young stars. But as the July
11 deadline nears for qualifying
for Rio, some top golfers have
been wavering.
Among the stars who plan to
play or have not decided are Jordan Spieth, U.S. Open champion
Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson,
Henrik Stenson of Sweden and
Masters champion Danny Willett
of England.
The sport has not been part
of the Games since 1904 in St.
Louis.
Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa cited scheduling concerns
when he withdrew. Vijay Singh
of Fiji briefly mentioned Zika but
was more bothered by the schedule. Graeme McDowell, who
was in line to replace McIlroy,
withdrew late last week because
his wife is due with their second
child a few weeks after the Olympics and he did not want to be out
of the country in the weeks leading to the birth.

to be the same,” Anthony said. “We don’t
have as many of the big-name guys that
we’ve had before, but I think so far this is
a great group of guys and they’re hungry.
They want to play.”
USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said having a national team pool,
which he began in 2005, always has the
Americans ready for player losses. There
were 31 players in this year’s and he had to
go deep into it — and eventually even beyond it — to find 12 as the usual factors that
can knock players out were joined by the
Zika virus and other concerns in Brazil.
Anthony said he talked to doctors and
people who have been to Brazil about the
risks of the mosquito-borne virus.
Anthony becomes the first U.S. men’s
basketball player to appear in four Olympics. Durant set a U.S. record by averaging 19.5 points in London and also was the
MVP when the U.S. won the 2010 world
championship.
“Shoot, when you’re playing with the
best players in the world, it makes it easy,”
Durant said. “I’m just going out there and
playing my game. They take all the pressure off of me.”
Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski will coach the
Americans for the third and final time,
tying Henry Iba’s team record. He will
lead a team with strong NBA credentials
— nine were All-Stars this season — but
a little short on international experience
after the withdrawals.
The heaviest losses came at the point
guard spot, where Curry passed on making
his Olympic debut after knee and ankle injuries in the playoffs. Former Olympians Paul
and Westbrook also pulled out and what was
a position of strength became so depleted
that Lowry was added last week even though
he wasn’t a member of the pool.
But Colangelo focused on the strength of
the team that was selected, adding he and
Krzyzewski are excited about the challenge of working with new faces.
“Their credentials speak for themselves
and now it’s just a matter of coach having
some time with the group, because there’s
so many new people, just getting everyone
to blend in,” Colangelo said.

Bryant’s historic performance drives Cubs
Becomes first player with 2 doubles,
3 HRs in one game in win over Reds
BY JOE K AY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — When Kris
Bryant reached the dugout after
his record-setting third homer,
thousands of Cubs fans in the
stands cheered for a curtain call.
A few teammates wanted him to
take a bow, too.
Nope. That was the only thing
Chicago’s top hitter wouldn’t do
on his historic night.
Bryant became the first major
leaguer to hit three homers and
two doubles in a game, and Jake
Arrieta added a solo shot in the
ballpark where he threw a no-hitter in April, setting up an 11-8 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on
Monday night.
The Cubs pulled out of their
1-6 slide behind a tandem that’s
had some huge moments in
Cincinnati.
“The last couple of weeks
haven’t been what I’ve wanted, so
I figured I’m due,” said Bryant,
who hit three homers one time
during a college game with San
Diego.
Arrieta (12-2) threw his second career no-hitter on April 21
during a 16-0 win over the Reds.
Bryant led the way with a pair of
homers in that game, including a
grand slam that gave him a career-high six RBIs.
Arrieta struggled in his return
to Cincinnati, giving up a seasonhigh five runs in five innings, but
Bryant drove in six runs again
to help the right-hander pull
through. Bryant’s 16 total bases
were a Cubs record, and his five
hits marked a career high.
“That keeps you back from
those 0-for-20 stretches when you
have a game like this,” Bryant
said.
Bryant doubled home a run in
the first, hit a solo homer in the
third and added a three-run shot
deep into the upper deck in left
field in the fourth off Dan Straily
(4-5). His solo shot in the eighth
came off Ross Ohlendorf, who
also gave up a homer to Anthony
Rizzo.
Most of the 31,762 fans wore
Cubs blue and demanded a curtain call after the third homer.
Bryant wouldn’t oblige, considering it inappropriate on the road.
Arrieta hit an opposite-field
drive — his fourth career home
run — in the fifth inning off Michael Lorenzen for an 8-3 lead.
The reigning NL Cy Young
Award winner became the league’s
first 12-game winner despite his
worst pitching performance of the
season. Arrieta walked a seasonhigh five batters in five innings,
and four of them scored. The five
runs allowed were his most since
he gave up six during a 7-2 loss

Monday’s game in Cincinnati. Bryant became the first major leaguer to hit three homers and two
doubles in a game in Chicago’s 11-8 victory.

The Cubs have the best record

homer in the ninth inning.

Rangers outlast Yankees for early morning win
Associated Press
NEW YORK — The Texas Rangers
wrapped up a weird win at 2:44 a.m. Tuesday, rallying after a rain delay of more
than 3½ hours in the ninth inning to beat
New York 9-6 with maybe 100 fans left in
the stands.
Yankee Stadium was so deserted that
shouts from Texas players cheering in the
dugout for Adrian Beltre’s go-ahead, tworun single could easily be heard bouncing
around the ballpark.
Texas trailed 6-5 when Kirby Yates replaced closer Aroldis Chapman after the
delay with a runner on first and no outs.
Yates (2-1) hit three batters, and Beltre and
Elvis Andrus each hit a two-run single.
By then, the cleaning crews had already
started their work in the upper decks.
Rain-themed songs wafted over the
sound system while showers fell during the
break of 3 hours, 35 minutes.
Tony Barnette (5-2) got the win and Sam
Dyson earned his 16th save as Texas won
its third in a row.
Ian Desmond and Rougned Odor homered for Texas, which owns the best record
in the AL. Mark Teixeira homered for the
second straight day and got three hits for
the Yankees.

Lindros headlines
Hall class of 2016

BILL KOSTROUN /AP
Then-New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, left, poses with his father Buddy Ryan,
center, and brother, then-New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan, before a Nov. 3, 2013, game in East
Rutherford, N.J. Buddy Ryan, who coached two defenses that won Super Bowl titles, died Tuesday.
Coach, defensive leader
Buddy Ryan dies at 82
BY BARRY WILNER
Associated Press
Buddy Ryan took a back seat to no one. Neither
did his fierce defenses that won two Super Bowls.
The pugnacious coach and defensive mastermind
whose twin sons have been successful NFL coaches,
died Tuesday. He was 82.
His death was confirmed by the Buffalo Bills,
where Rex Ryan is the head coach and Rob Ryan an
assistant. James Solano, Buddy Ryan’s agent, said
he died in Kentucky but did not give a cause. Ryan
lived on a ranch in Shelbyville.
“Buddy was a legend in our league in so many
ways,” the Bills said in a statement. “His defenses
were innovative and he was a master at putting his
talented and tough players in a position to succeed.
He was a real game changer, and much of his philosophies and defensive tactics are still utilized effectively by teams today.”
Ryan was a linebackers coach for the 1968 champion New York Jets and coordinated the groundbreaking 46 defense for the title-winning 1985
Chicago Bears, one of the NFL’s greatest defenses.
He was a head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles
from 1986-90 and for the Arizona Cardinals in 199495, compiling a 55-55-1 overall record.
A few years ago, Ryan attended a Cowboys-Jets
game, traveling to New Jersey despite cancer to see
then-Jets head coach Rex go against then-Dallas defensive coordinator Rob.
James David Ryan was a Korean War veteran
who went to Oklahoma State, then earned a master’s
degree from Middle Tennessee State even while
coaching. He got his first major job in the pros in
New York, then of the AFL, in 1968. Ryan was the
linebackers coach for the Joe Namath-led Jets, a
boastful, confident team that fit his personality.
Those Jets led the AFL in defense in his first
season on staff, then shocked the Colts in the Super
Bowl, 16-7.
“That’s something my dad was very proud of,”
Rex said. “When (former Jets coach Weeb) Ewbank
hired him, he had to make a difference. If he felt
he wasn’t making a difference, then his career as a
professional coach would be short.”
Instead, it was very long.
Ryan’s first job as a defensive coordinator came in
1976 with the Vikings under Bud Grant, like Ewbank
a Hall of Fame coach. He spent two years there, with
‘
Some say the 46 is just an
eight-man front. That’s like saying
Marilyn Monroe is just a girl.
’
Buddy Ryan
About the defensive scheme named after
safety Doug Plank, who wore that number
the 1977 team losing to Oakland in the Super Bowl.
He then moved to the rival Bears, where he concocted the 46 defense that overwhelmed the league with
its aggressiveness and unpredictability.
“Some say the 46 is just an eight-man front,” said
Ryan, who named the scheme after safety Doug
Plank, who wore that number. “That’s like saying
Marilyn Monroe is just a girl.”
Ryan and head coach Mike Ditka often feuded
during that 15-1 season and Super Bowl run. They
nearly slugged it out at halftime of Chicago’s only
defeat, at Miami on a Monday night in December.
His work in Chicago got Ryan the Eagles job.
He guided the Eagles to the playoffs in 1988, ‘89
and ‘90. But they lost all three playoff games, and
he was fired after the 1990 season by Eagles owner
Norman Braman despite a 43-35-1 record.
Earlier that season, Ryan bragged that his Eagles
would so badly beat up the Redskins in a Monday
night game “they’ll have to be carted off in body
bags.” The Eagles’ defense scored three touchdowns
in a 28-14 win and knocked nine Redskins out of the
game, including two quarterbacks.
A year earlier, Philadelphia routed the Cowboys
27-0 on Thanksgiving Day with hardly any holiday
feelings in the air. Cowboys kicker Luis Zendejas
claimed Ryan put a $200 bounty on him, something
Ryan laughed off as ridiculous.
After one season as an assistant at Houston, Arizona hired Ryan as head coach in 1994 and the Cardinals went 12-20 in his two years there. He never
coached again, letting Rex and Rob carry on the
family legacy.
“Buddy’s influence will be carried on by defensive coaches for generations to come, but none more
so than by Rex and Rob,” the Bills said.
Ryan also is survived by another son, Jim, the
Eagles said.
Eric Lindros knew exactly what
day and time the Hockey Hall of
Fame would call. He was just
hoping his phone would ring this
time after six years of silence.
Rogie Vachon had given up hoping after 30-plus years of eligibility. And when his moment came,
Sergei Makarov exclaimed, “Oh
my gosh, the wait is over!”
The waiting ended for Lindros,
Vachon and Makarov on Monday
as they were elected as part of the
class of 2016 along with the late
coach and executive Pat Quinn.
With no first-time eligible players worthy of consideration, they
were able to go from the longtime
waiting room into the hall.
Because concussions and other
injuries cut his career short,
Lindros was passed over for the
honor six previous times. But
his Hart Trophy-winning season
as NHL MVP with the Flyers in
1995, his 865 points in 760 games,
and his overall dominance and
international success ended up
being too much to keep him out.
Lindros said he hasn’t stopped
smiling since getting the call
from Hall of Fame chairman
Lanny McDonald while driving
down the highway in Ontario.
“It was six years and it was a
bit of time, but I guess you could
turn around and say I’m in the
Hall forever going forward,” Lindros said.
Lindros was a junior hockey
star and the No. 1 pick of the
Quebec Nordiques in 1991 but refused to sign, something he said
Monday he didn’t regret. Sent to
Philadelphia as part of one of the
biggest trades in NHL history,
Lindros became one of the best
players of his era with an unusual
blend of physicality and production. He led the Flyers to the 1997
Stanley Cup Final as part of the
“Legion of Doom” line with John
LeClair and Mikael Renberg.
Lindros played for the New
York Rangers, Toronto Maple
Leafs and Dallas Stars at the end
of his career. He also won two
world junior gold medals and
Olympic gold in 2002 representing Canada in Salt Lake City.
Makarov was more than a
point-a-game scorer for the Soviet national team as part of the
famed KLM line with Vladimir
Krutov and 2008 Hall of Fame inductee Igor Larionov. He won the
Calder Trophy as rookie of the
year with Calgary in 1991 and put
up 384 points in 424 games with
the Flames, San Jose Sharks and
Stars, once Russian players were
able to play in the NHL.
Vachon won the Vezina Trophy
with the Canadiens in 1967-68
and was part of three Cup-champion teams in Montreal. He went
on to play with the Los Angeles
Kings, Detroit Red Wings and
Boston Bruins and finished with
355 victories.
Because he has been eligible
for three decades, Vachon said
he stopped waiting for the call
from the Hall of Fame. But the
70-year-old still remembered his
first NHL save.
“My first shot in the NHL was
a breakaway from Gordie Howe
from the blue line in,” Vachon
said of the Hall of Famer who
died just two weeks ago. “I don’t
know if I closed my eyes when he
shot, but I stopped him and that
probably kept me in the league
for 16 years.”
Quinn led Lindros and Canada to the gold medal at the 2002
Olympics and coached the 197980 Flyers team that went a record
35 consecutive games without
a loss. His daughter, Kalli, said
Quinn never thought about making the Hall of Fame, despite
being its chairman at the time of
his death in November 2014.

Serena Williams of the United States celebrates a point against Switzerland’s Amra Sadikovic
during their first-round match Tuesday at Wimbledon. Williams won in straight sets.
Serena labors in first
match, tops Sadikovic
BY STEPHEN WILSON
Associated Press
LONDON — This was not the Serena Williams the tennis world is used to seeing on
Centre Court. It was still good enough for the
defending Wimbledon champion to advance to
the second round in straight sets.
Struggling on serve and failing to dominate
against a 148th-ranked Swiss qualifier playing
in her first Grand Slam tournament on Tuesday, Williams labored to a 6-2, 6-4 victory over
Amra Sadikovic — the 80th match win of her
Wimbledon career.
What looked on paper like a complete mismatch turned into a tighter contest than
expected.
“I never underestimate anyone,” said Williams, who had only four aces and served five
double-faults. “It was a really good match but I
don’t think it was tougher than I thought. It was
definitely tough, but I always expect the best
from everyone.”
With her mother, Oracene Price, watching
from the Royal Box, the six-time Wimbledon
champion jumped out to 3-0, running off 13
points in a row, defying her reputation as a slow
starter.
On the men’s side, second-seeded Andy Murray followed Williams on Centre Court and
cruised to a trouble-free 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 win over
Liam Broady, a British wild-card entry ranked
No. 235. Also reaching the second round with
straight-set wins were seeded Frenchmen
Richard Gasquet and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
No. 7 Gasquet swept past Britain’s Aljaz Bedene 6-3, 6-4, 6-3, while No. 12 Tsonga got past
Spain’s Inigo Cervantes 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-4. Gasquet reached the Wimbledon semifinals last
year, while Tsonga made it to the semis in 2011
and 2012.
Fourth-seeded Stan Wawrinka, who had lost
in the first round at the All England Club five
times, beat 18-year-old American Taylor Fritz
— the youngest player in the men’s draw — 7-6
(4), 6-1, 6-7 (2), 6-4.
That set up a second-round match against
Juan Martin del Potro, the 2009 U.S. Open
champion who beat Stephane Robert of France
6-1, 7-5, 6-0 in the big-hitting Argentine’s first
appearance at Wimbledon since 2013 after a series on surgeries on his left wrist.
No. 15 Nick Kyrgios kept his cool — and hit
another between-the-legs winner — as he beat
37-year-old Radek Stepanek 6-4, 6-3, 6-7 (9),
6-1.
Kyrgios set up an intriguing second-round
match with Dustin Brown, another flashy shotmaker who beat Nadal here last year.
In a first-round contest played under the Centre Court roof, Svetlana Kuznetsova beat Caroline Wozniacki 7-5, 6-4 in a match between two
former No. 1 players.
The 13th-seeded Russian, playing in her 13th
Wimbledon, held off a late charge from the
45th-ranked Wozniacki, who was unseeded at a
Grand Slam for the first time in eight years.
The retractable roof was closed for the match
— the third on Centre Court — after the first
rain delay of the tournament.
NICE, France — Iceland pulled off one
of the biggest shocks in European Championship history by beating England 2-1 in
the round of 16 on Monday, continuing the
astonishing run of the smallest nation at
the tournament.
England slumped to its most embarrassing loss in a generation after taking the
lead in the fourth minute through Wayne
Rooney’s penalty.
Ragnar Sigurdsson and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson took advantage of defensive shortcomings by England to put Iceland ahead
by the 18th minute, and the Icelanders
defended superbly in the second half to
earn the biggest victory in their history
and a quarterfinal match against France
in Saint-Denis.
“They thought that this would be a walk
in the park,” Sigurdsson said. “We had
faith in our ability.”
Iceland, a country of 330,000 people, is featuring in its first ever major
tournament.
It proved to the last match of the fouryear reign of England coach Roy Hodgson,
whose contract was up after the tournament anyway.
England’s players head home early again
for another post-tournament inquest. Their
players slumped to the ground in front of
their jeering fans after the final whistle,
their heads in their hands.
For a soccer nation of England’s standing, its record in major tournaments is
woeful. The English have still never won
a knockout-stage game abroad in the European Championship in eight attempts
and haven’t won a match beyond the group
stage of a major tournament since 2006.
This defeat will probably go down as
England’s biggest humiliation since losing 1-0 to the United States in 1950 World
Cup.
Matz undergoes MRI on elbow
WASHINGTON — New York Mets pitcher Steven Matz could miss his next start
because of elbow discomfort.
The left-hander, who left his start Friday at Atlanta in the fifth inning, underwent an MRI exam Monday in New York.
He is scheduled to start Wednesday at
Washington.
“We haven’t committed to Steven just
yet,” manager Terry Collins said Monday.
“We’ll have him re-evaluated and we’ll
wait to see where we are here tomorrow,
and we’ll probably know more tomorrow.”
Matz is 7-3 with a 3.29 ERA this year,
but is 0-2 with a 5.91 ERA in June.
Matz also underwent an MRI in May on
his pitching elbow.
“It’s the same,” said Matz, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2010. “Just
kind of where I got checked out before.
Nothing major — (no) structural damage,
so that peace of mind is good.”
Texans sign first-round pick
HOUSTON — The Houston Texans have
signed receiver Will Fuller, who was the
21st overall pick in this year’s draft.
Fuller had 62 receptions for 1,258 yards
and 14 touchdowns last season for Notre
Dame. It was his second straight 1,000yard receiving season after he had a career-high 76 receptions for 1,094 yards and
15 touchdowns in 2014. He had one receiving touchdown as a freshman to give him
30, second in school history.
Fuller wowed at the combine by running
a 40-yard dash in 4.32 seconds. He joins an
offense led by Pro-Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins and featuring new additions
quarterback Brock Osweiler and running
back Lamar Miller.

Winningest
D-I coach
dies at 64
Legendary Lady Vols leader
fought early onset dementia
BY STEVE MEGARGEE
Associated Press
P
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
at Summitt, the winningest coach in Division I college
basketball history who lifted the women’s game to
national prominence during her 38-year career at
Tennessee, died Tuesday. She was 64.
With an icy glare on the sidelines, Summitt led the
Lady Vols to eight national championships and prominence on a campus steeped in the traditions of the
football-rich south until she retired in 2012.
Her son, Tyler Summitt, issued a statement Tuesday morning saying his mother died peacefully at
Sherrill Hill Senior Living in Knoxville surrounded by
those who loved her most.
“Since 2011, my mother has battled her toughest
opponent, early onset dementia, ‘Alzheimer’s Type,’
and she did so with bravely fierce determination just
as she did with every opponent she ever faced,” Tyler
Summitt said. “Even though it’s incredibly difficult to
come to terms that she is no longer with us, we can
all find peace in knowing she no longer carries the
heavy burden of this disease.”
Summitt helped grow college women’s basketball as her Lady Vols dominated the sport
in the late 1980s and 1990s, winning
six titles in 12 years. Tennessee
— the only school she coached
— won NCAA titles in 1987,
1989, 1991, 1996-98 and
2007-08. Summitt had a
career record of 1,098-208
in 38 seasons, plus 18 NCAA
Final Four appearances.
She announced in 2011 at age
