Voice Of America Vows Independence, As Trump Calls For 'Worldwide Network' <p>President Trump, who has frequently railed against the U.S. news media and reporters, tweeted last week there should be, as he put it, a "Worldwide Network to show the World the way we really are, GREAT!"</p> <p>It turns out there is such a worldwide network run by the U.S. It's Voice of America.</p> <p>President Franklin Roosevelt created the VOA during World War II to broadcast behind enemy lines what its current director, Amanda Bennett, said was "truthful news about the war, in contrast with Nazi propaganda."</p> <p>She said that, over the years, the mission hasn't really changed that much.</p> <p>"Our job is to do two things," she said."One is to tell America's story objectively to places that can't see it otherwise, and the other one is to bring objective news and information to places that have no other access to it. So we say that in a large part of the world we are the free press."</p> <p>Not only that, she said, the VOA represents the possibility that a free press can exist. That means telling the truth about America, warts and all.</p> <p>"We're trying to cover all aspects of it, so that people can get an understanding of the country as it really is," Bennett said. "And that means good stories, bad stories, hard issues, you know, fun issues. We're trying to give a complete picture so that people can see who we really are."</p> <p>For instance, <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/market-shifts-leave-us-manufacturing-behind/4680914.html">the top story on the VOA's website last week</a> was about GM's decision to close several of its factories.</p> <p>Former VOA Director David Ensor — an ex-NPR, ABC and CNN correspondent who now is director of the Project for Media and National Security at George Washington University — said he noticed that audience numbers jumped when VOA told some "not-so-pleasant truths" about the U.S., whether it was the protests in Ferguson, Mo., or <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2016/04/04/472964974/it-was-torture-an-abu-ghraib-interrogator-acknowledges-horrible-mistakes">the Abu Ghraib scandal</a>.</p> <p>"When foreigners hear an American broadcaster, who's funded by the United States, talking honestly about our problems as a country, it impresses them," Ensor said. "It builds credibility for Voice of America, and that builds audience and impact, which is what Voice of America is there for."</p> <p>That might not exactly be what Trump has in mind, but some 275 million people around the world listen to the VOA in 47 different languages. That's important, Ensor said, and that distinguishes it from other networks, like CNN International.</p> <p>"What Voice of America does is it broadcasts in Hausa. And Farsi. And Russian, and Chinese, and Korean," Ensor said, "the languages of the countries that we're trying to reach, where it is our feeling people don't have enough access to honest information."</p> <p>The VOA is actually the largest of a number of broadcasting networks already run by the United States, including Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia, Office of Cuba Broadcasting and Middle East Broadcasting Networks. They're overseen by the <a href="https://www.usagm.gov/">U.S. Agency for Global Media</a>. USAGM CEO John F. Lansing said the networks are all independent from the government by law.</p> <p>"It's mandated by law that is written into the legislation that founded the Voice of America and our other entities, that there will be no interference in the editorial judgment of these networks," Lansing said.</p> <p>But concerns of political interference in the networks were raised after Trump nominated Michael Pack to replace Lansing, who was an Obama appointee.</p> <p>Pack was a former programming executive at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and has produced documentaries with none other than Steve Bannon, the conservative news website executive and former Trump adviser and campaign CEO.</p> <p>The Senate has yet to take up Pack's nomination. James Glassman, a former chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, USAGM's predecessor, thinks there is <em>too </em>much independence on the part of VOA.</p> <p>Glassman believes the network should be more integrated into U.S. foreign policy. For instance, he said, if the administration wants to discourage Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, VOA can play a role.</p> <p>"I think that VOA could, for example, have programming that tells the Iranian people that its government is wasting the vast, vast sums of money that could be used to improve the economy on a nuclear program," Glassman said.</p> <p>But, he added, "There is a great reluctance to take orders" at the network.</p> <p>Bennett, the VOA director, said the network is insulated by a firewall of laws and the independence of its journalists from political interference — and is driven by its news judgment.</p> <p>"If somebody says, 'Do this story, because I want to do it, because it advances my interests,' we'll see," she said, adding that VOA would act as any news organization would, asking, "Is this news or not? And if it's not, then it's, 'Thank you for your input.' " <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 NPR.

His maternal grandparents were both professional violinists, his mother is an accomplished violinist and longtime instructor at the Royal Academy of Music in London and so, naturally, Collier taught himself to play every instrument he could find. Collier can play both the electric and double bass, the drums, guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, autoharp and dulcimer, just to name a few. On his debut album, 2016's <a href="https://www.npr.org/2016/06/23/482809010/first-listen-jacob-collier-in-my-room"><em>In My Room</em></a>, Collier sang every vocal line, played every instrument and subsequently earned himself two Grammys at the age of 22. Now, Collier's new batch of music has got him thinking bigger. Collier's new, somehow more ambitious project is called <em>Djesse</em>. </p> <p>"What I really wanted to do was to treat the wide world as that room," Collier says. "And when I say the whole world, it really was a matter of flying all over the place to collect all these different collaborators that had been scattered across this album — from Morocco to Japan to Portugal to Los Angeles to New York. And for me, it's brand new, and it's nothing short of thrilling." </p> <p><em>Djesse </em>is<em> </em>a four-album series, involving collaborators from orchestras, to choirs to drum troops. Collier decided to split the project into four parts to represent four parts of a day. On <em>Djesse (Vol. 1)</em>, out now, Collier explores the energy and excitement of daybreak. The album weaves minimalist and extravagant elements to exhibit what Collier does best: Make staggeringly complex music seem effortless.</p> <p>Collier spoke with NPR's Ari Shapiro about taking listeners on a journey, <em>Djesse</em> being referred to his magnum opus and more. Listen to their full conversation at the audio link.</p> <p><h3><strong>Interview Highlights</strong></h3></p> <p><strong>On the feeling of </strong><strong><em>Djesse</em></strong><em> </em><em><strong>(Vol. 1) </strong></em></p> <p><em>Djesse</em>, essentially, is this spirit. It's this sort of character, very much with some childlike energy, which permeates all of this music. ... The first album represents kind of pre-dawn, to that moment at the end of the morning when everything's very much alive. It's a mixture of youth and things being very early and very young, and also the sort of explosion that happens when you begin a journey.</p> <p><strong>On maximalism</strong></p> <p>It's a matter of using these maximalist elements to tell a story, you know, it's not about trying to tell 500 stories at one time. It's more about thinking, "Well, if I'm gonna tell a story, then I'm gonna need all these different materials" ... And if you look at what goes on within the sort of sessions of these songs in terms of mixing and layering and compress all this stuff, there are so many different tracks.</p> <p>There are some moments in the album where I want to say a lot at once, and sometimes it's about prioritizing things and thinking, "You know what, this is about one specific feeling that I want to capture."</p> <p><strong>On what happens after producing your magnum opus in his 20's</strong></p> <p>I'm not sure. I guess I wouldn't necessarily describe it as a magnum opus, but it certainly is epic, and it certainly is broad and it certainly covers every amount of ground that I can conceive of, at this age. And so, in some ways, I just don't know. But right now, I sort of feel like, in order to get a sense of clarity, I need to collect all of these different seeds that have been weighing on my creative mind for the last three or four years, and kind of put them into the story, and explode them into the world. And then sort of trust myself. </p> <p>I'm a firm believer in the saying that goes, "If you want to make god laugh, tell him your plans," kind of approach. I don't know what I'm going to be doing after this album, but I think that even if nobody was listening to it, I would certainly be creating it because it's something I just have to do. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Lawmakers also voted to limit early voting in Wisconsin and make it more difficult for Evers to alter Wisconsin's voter ID law. Another element would give lawmakers more power over the state's economic development agency, which Evers has said he would like to eliminate.</p> <p>In the wee hours of the morning, the plan narrowly passed the state Senate, later the Assembly and now the bill moves to Gov. Scott Walker's desk for his signature.</p> <p>Evers <a href="https://twitter.com/SJohnsonWPR/status/1070345046183108609">released a statement</a> Wednesday morning saying Wisconsin values were "pushed aside so a handful of people could desperately usurp and cling to power while hidden away from the very people they represent."</p> <p>"Power-hungry politicians rushed through sweeping changes to our laws to expand their own power and override the will of the people of Wisconsin who asked for change on November 6th," reads the statement.</p> <p>Walker lost to Evers by fewer than 30,000 votes out of more than 2 million cast. When Evers takes office in January, it will be the first time in eight years that Wisconsin has been run by a divided government.</p> <p>During debate, Democrats decried the plan as an abuse of power.</p> <p>"The seeds you're planting may grow into something you will regret," said Sen. Fred Risser, a Democrat from Madison. "Be fair. Give the voters the right to choose their governor and attorney general."</p> <p>Bill passage wasn't a slam dunk for Republicans. Meetings and negotiations went long, and both chambers convened later than expected Tuesday — nine hours later in the case of the Assembly. The GOP also wasn't able to pass as many measures as first planned, such as moving the date of the 2020 presidential primary.</p> <p>For days, demonstrators filled the Capitol. On Tuesday, the state Senate ordered the public gallery cleared, a move that provoked <a href="https://twitter.com/sbauerAP/status/1070054153475514368">a roar</a> from people who had gathered to watch the proceedings.</p> <p>Republican Senate President Roger Roth took the unusual step after warning the crowd twice that Senate rules prohibited them from reacting to debate. Deafening chants of "shame" filled the chamber as police escorted people out. After a roughly 40-minute break, Roth reopened the gallery.</p> <p>"We're going to work with the governor-elect, but we're going to do it in a way that's balanced between the legislative and administrative level," said Republican Rep. John Nygren during debate.</p> <p>Republicans, like state Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, say Evers' liberal politics worry the party and that's why legislators are passing the bills.</p> <p>"I'm concerned. I think that Gov.-elect Evers is going to bring a liberal agenda to Wisconsin," he said.</p> <p>Two years ago in North Carolina, the Republican-majority legislature felt similarly about their new Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, and met in a lame-duck session to restrict his authority. After the outgoing Republican governor signed the law, it was caught up in <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/12/30/507596140/north-carolina-judge-blocks-attempt-to-strip-governor-of-some-powers">legal</a> and political battles where it remains today.</p> <p>Some opponents of the bills in Wisconsin have also promised to take the matters to court. Regarding early voting, the bill trims the voting window to just two weeks ahead of election day statewide. A number of communities, including the Democratic strongholds of Madison and Milwaukee, have offered several weeks for early voting in recent years, following a federal judge's <a href="https://www.wpr.org/judge-finds-parts-wisconsin-voter-id-law-unconstitutional">2016 ruling that struck down previous limits</a>. At least one law firm says it will bring a legal challenge if that bill is signed by Walker. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 Wisconsin Public Radio.

2018-12-26T00:05:07-04:56 never 0.5 How The Partial Government Shutdown Could Affect You <p>The partial shutdown of the U.S. government that began Saturday affects about a quarter of the government. About 800,000 federal workers will feel the effects as lawmakers try to come to an agreement on a set of spending bills to keep the government funded.</p> <p>A central sticking point remains funding for President Trump's proposed border wall, and <a href="https://www.npr.org/2018/12/22/679424044/government-shuts-down-ahead-of-holiday-over-stalemate-on-border-wall-funding">with the Senate adjourned until Thursday</a>, there is no apparent quick end in sight.</p> <p>As both sides work to solve the impasse, here is a rundown of what will and won't be affected by the shutdown.</p> <p><h3><strong>What is still open and running: </strong></h3></p> <p><strong>Air traffic control, the TSA and Amtrak </strong></p> <p>Air traffic control and officers with the Transportation Security Administration will keep working in order to keep air travel running. Amtrak trains will also continue to operate as usual.</p> <p><strong>Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid </strong></p> <p>People will continue to receive their Social Security checks, and Medicare and Medicaid will not be interrupted. However, new applicants to these programs might experience a delay before approval.</p> <p><strong>The military </strong></p> <p>U.S. military operations will continue around the world. The budget for the Department of Defense has already been approved.</p> <p><strong>Border security </strong></p> <p>Customs and border agents will continue working along the border and at ports of entry.</p> <p><strong>The Mueller investigation </strong></p> <p>Special counsel Robert Mueller's office, which is looking into Russia influence on the 2016 campaign, is "funded from a permanent indefinite appropriation and would be unaffected in the event of a shutdown. ... The appropriation bills before Congress do not touch the (special counsel's office)," a spokesman for the special counsel's office <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/28/politics/special-counsel-office-funding-robert-mueller/index.html">told </a>CNN.</p> <p><strong>U.S. Postal Service </strong></p> <p>Post offices will remain open, and deliveries will continue during the shutdown.</p> <p><strong>Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo </strong></p> <p>The Smithsonian Institution<strong> </strong>tweeted that it will continue operation of its museums, research centers and the National Zoo through Jan. 1.</p> <p><strong>NORAD Santa tracker </strong></p> <p>The military says its <a href="https://www.npr.org/2018/12/23/679646329/santa-tracker-unaffected-by-government-shutdown-norad-says">famous Santa tracker</a> won't be slowed down by the shutdown because it is run by volunteers and funded by the Department of Defense's budget that was approved earlier this year,<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/santa-tracker-run-government-shutdown-59984306"> according</a> to The Associated Press.</p> <p><strong>What will be affected by the government shutdown: </strong></p> <p><strong>National parks </strong></p> <p>Some national parks will remain open but may <a href="https://www.doi.gov/sites/doi.gov/files/2018_01_nps_contingency_plan.pdf">reduce staffing. </a>Facilities such as restrooms may be closed. <strong> </strong></p> <p>"At Yellowstone, Yosemite and many other major parks, the park service announced it would keep the access to parklands open, but many services, including restrooms, trash removal, some visitors centers and snow removal, would cease," <em>The Guardian</em><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/dec/22/national-parks-impacted-by-government-shutdown-trump"> reports</a>.</p> <p>Other parks and monuments, such as the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/fomc/index.htm">Fort McHenry National Monumen</a>t in Maryland and the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/fopu/index.htm">Fort Pulaski National Monument </a>in Georgia, will be closed.</p> <p><strong>Small-business owners</strong></p> <p>Small Business Administration guarantees to back loans will freeze for some business owners.</p> <p>"Due to the lapse of government funding, SBA will remain inactive until further notice. We apologize for any inconveniences and we look forward to assisting you when we return," the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SBAgov/posts/2186113781428371?__tn__=-R">agency posted on Facebook. </a></p> <p>"Without workers there to process <a href="https://www.sba.gov/blogs/sbas-7a-loan-program-explained">7(a) loan applications,</a> which help startups obtain financing, small business owners are forced to find capital elsewhere or wait until Congress and President Trump reach a budget agreement," <em>USA Today </em><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2018/12/23/government-shutdown-3-ways-your-small-business-can-affected/2397871002/">reports</a>.</p> <p><strong>State and local farm service centers</strong></p> <p>Those operated by the Agriculture Department will be closed, meaning that no staff will be able to assist farmers in signing up for programs under the farm bill recently approved by Congress, <em>The Tennessean</em> <a href="https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2018/12/21/government-shutdown-2018-update/2386285002/">reports.</a> The Farm Service Agency <a href="https://www.fsa.usda.gov/about-fsa/history-and-mission/index">assists farmers, ranchers</a> and agricultural partners through delivering U.S. agricultural programs.</p> <p><strong>Housing programs </strong></p> <p>Enforcement of fair housing, issuance of new development grants and housing quality inspections will be delayed. Loans for new homebuyers could also stall.</p> <p><strong>Crime victims and violence against women</strong></p> <p>"After about one week of a shutdown, the state Department of Commerce would stop getting federal reimbursement for programs that include helping crime victims, stopping sexual violence against women and preventing sexual assault," <em>The Seattle Times</em> <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/government-shutdown-closes-parts-of-washington-state-national-parks-cuts-search-and-rescue-staff/">reports. </a></p> <p>Funding for the Violence Against Women Act has also stopped with the government shutdown. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Foreign Agent Case, Admits Clandestine Influence Scheme <p><strong>Updated at 3:22 p.m. ET</strong></p> <p>A Russian woman who schemed to build back-channel ties between the Russian government and the Trump campaign pleaded guilty in federal court on Thursday to conspiring to act as a clandestine foreign agent.</p> <p>Maria Butina also sought to connect Moscow unofficially with other parts of the conservative establishment, including the National Rifle Association and the National Prayer Breakfast. </p> <p>She was arrested over the summer after having been monitored by the FBI, including in meetings in Washington, D.C., with Russian officials. Butina also had materials that suggested she was in contact with Russia's domestic intelligence service, the FSB, prosecutors said.</p> <p>Butina appeared in court Thursday wearing a green jail uniform, her red hair in a long braid running down her back. She answered the judge's questions in a clear voice and without a Russian language interpreter.</p> <p>District Judge Tanya Chutkan scheduled a status conference for Feb. 12 to assess the cooperation that Butina has given the government. </p> <p><strong>"The diplomacy project"</strong></p> <p>Butina worked in concert with her boyfriend, GOP fundraiser Paul Erickson, and a Russian handler, Alexander Torshin, who also cultivated his own relationships with important conservatives in the United States. </p> <p>A lawyer for Erickson issued a statement after the hearing on Thursday.</p> <p>"Paul Erickson is a good American," it said. "He has done nothing to harm our country and never would."</p> <p>Torshin was a Russian government official who is <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-30/nra-linked-russia-central-banker-retires-as-aide-nears-u-s-deal">reportedly retiring</a> from his latest role as a deputy governor of the central bank.</p> <p>Butina laid out her plans in a document called "Description of the Diplomacy Project," according to court documents; she wrote that she believed Russia could not reinvigorate ties with the United States through official institutions. </p> <p>Instead, she argued, Moscow should expand its "unofficial channels of communication," of which she could be one.</p> <p>The course she chose was via gun rights, building off Butina's history of shooting and gun ownership inside of Russia. So Butina, Erickson and Torshin sought to strengthen their relationships with the politically powerful NRA.</p> <p>Butina and Torshin moved in gun rights circles in the United States and, according to court documents, she and other Russians also arranged to host NRA members in Moscow in late 2015.</p> <p>"During the trip, the gun rights organization members met with high-level Russian government officials as arranged by" Torshin, according to court documents in the Butina case.</p> <p>After the visit, Butina wrote to Torshin that "we should let them express their gratitude now, we will put pressure on them quietly later," prosecutors wrote in the court papers. </p> <p>It isn't clear whether "pressure" actually might have been applied to the NRA, by whom or to what end, but its role in <a href="https://www.npr.org/2018/04/25/586099619/the-russia-investigations-what-you-need-to-know-about-russian-active-measures">Russia's "active measures" </a>has been the <a href="https://www.npr.org/2018/04/11/601534305/nra-in-new-document-acknowledges-more-than-20-russian-linked-contributors">focus of scrutiny by members of Congress</a>. </p> <p><strong>The back channel</strong></p> <p>Butina's work with her compatriots, meanwhile, continued. </p> <p>Erickson, for example, sent an email to the office of then-Sen. Jeff Sessions, working as a Trump campaign booster, offering to use his NRA connections to establish a back channel between the Trumps and the Russian government.</p> <p>He wrote this:</p> <p><blockquote></p> <p>"I'm now writing to you and Sen. Sessions in your roles as Trump foreign policy experts / advisors. [...] Happenstance and the (sometimes) international reach of the NRA placed me in a position a couple of years ago to slowly begin cultivating a back-channel to President Putin's Kremlin. Russia is quietly but actively seeking a dialogue with the U.S. that isn't forthcoming under the current administration. And for reasons that we can discuss in person or on the phone, the Kremlin believes that the only possibility of a true re-set in this relationship would be with a new Republican White House."</p> <p></blockquote></p> <p>House intelligence committee Democrats quoted that message <a href="https://democrats-intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/minorityviews.pdf">in their response to the GOP majority's report</a> that said the contacts between people in the Trump camp and Russians in 2016 were "ill-advised" but not evidence of conspiracy. </p> <p>President Trump himself told Reuters on Tuesday that contacts between his aides and Russians in 2016 were "<a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-impeachment-exclusive/exclusive-trump-says-he-is-not-concerned-about-being-impeached-defends-payments-to-women-idUSKBN1OB01N">peanut stuff</a>." Those contacts also, so far as the public evidence shows, did not yield a high-level meeting.</p> <p>Although Torshin later met Donald Trump Jr. at an event during an NRA convention, Butina and her colleagues were not able to broker a conference between then-candidate Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. </p> <p>The work ran through Election Day 2016 and into the following year, when Torshin instructed Butina about which Russian attendees to arrange to become part of a delegation to the National Prayer Breakfast on Feb. 2, 2017. </p> <p>Later, Erickson said in an email message on which Butina was cc'd: </p> <p>"Reaction to the delegation's presence in America will be relayed DIRECTLY [emphasis in original] to the Russian President and Foreign Minister."</p> <p>Butina is likely to face only up to six months in prison when she is sentenced in 2019. But prosecutors Erik Kenerson and Thomas Saunders left open the possibility they would write a letter seeking leniency for Butina depending on the extent of her cooperation.</p> <p>Butina told the judge that she understands she is likely to be deported back to Russia after serving any prison sentence. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Orchestra At 100: The Heartland Band With The World Class Sound <p>That America's best symphony orchestras hail from its big cultural capitals <em>– </em>New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco — is an easy assumption to make. But it isn't quite true. There's one orchestra, from the U.S. heartland, that <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/22/arts/music/cleveland-orchestra-carnegie-hall.html">critics say</a> just might be our nation's finest. </p> <p>The <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/88478440/cleveland-orchestra">Cleveland Orchestra</a> marks its centennial today, and as befits the humble organization, which takes its accolades lightly, there is no performance or celebration scheduled tonight. (There was a gala concert back in September.) </p> <p>Cleveland, in 1918, was the fifth largest city in America and home to such industrialists as John D. Rockefeller and John L. Severance, who had deep pockets and a desire to bring culture to Cleveland, says Donald Rosenberg, author of <em>The</em> <em>Cleveland Orchestra Story: Second to None </em>and former music critic for the Cleveland <em>Plain Dealer</em>. </p> <p>"Because the Cleveland Orchestra was born in a city outside one of the major artistic centers, its accomplishment needs to be taken seriously," Rosenberg says.</p> <p>When it debuted on Dec. 11, 1918, Cleveland's Symphony Orchestra, as it was then called, was small: just 55 part-time musicians. It gradually grew in size, until it made its first recordings in 1924 under music director Nikolai Sokoloff. The 11 sides, recorded by Brunswick Records, include music by <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/90515326/peter-ilyich-tchaikovsky">Tchaikovsky</a>, <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/89337436/richard-wagner">Wagner</a>, <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/15033230/johannes-brahms">Brahms</a> and <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/15161600/jean-sibelius">Sibelius</a>. (They have been reissued on the Pristine Classical label.) </p> <p>Within a few decades, Rosenberg says, the ensemble began to blossom — especially under its next music director, the idiosyncratic Polish conductor Artur Rodziński. He led the orchestra for 10 years beginning in 1933, and with his oversized, swashbuckling personality, saw Cleveland as the next Salzburg or Rome.</p> <p>"He carried a pistol in his pocket virtually the entire time he worked in Cleveland and elsewhere," Rosenberg says.</p> <p>That pistol was meant to be used on his lover's husband, back in Poland — but Rodzinsky got interrupted with a last-minute conducting assignment. The performance was a triumph, and the revolver became his good luck charm as Rodzinsky planted the seeds of the Cleveland sound.</p> <p>"If you listen to the recordings that he made toward the end of his tenure," Rosenberg says, "you can already hear some of the qualities that we associate with the Cleveland Orchestra — this precision, this clarity, this transparency of texture." </p> <p>During World War II, the Cleveland Orchestra lost musicians to the draft, including its next music director, Erich Leinsdorf. He took over in 1943, conducted his opening night concert on Oct. 7 and was off to the army three months later.</p> <p>By 1946, the orchestra needed rebuilding. The man who took up the challenge, Rosenberg says, was George Szell: an autocratic Hungarian who put the fear of god in his players, and at the same time raised the quality and profile of the orchestra to unprecedented levels. </p> <p>"During the time that Szell was music director, evidently the psychiatrists in Cleveland did booming business, because a lot of musicians needed help coping with his personality," Rosenberg says. </p> <p>Joela Jones was hired by Szell in 1968 as the orchestra's keyboardist. She still remembers her very first rehearsal with him.</p> <p>"Szell wore thick-lensed glasses and his eyes seemed to pierce right through you like laser beams — so at first, I was terrified," she recalls. "I learned quickly that if you were well-prepared and worked hard he was very kind to you. But if you sloughed off and he sensed for a minute that you were just trying to slide by him, he became very angry." </p> <p>Franz Welser-Möst, who grew up in Linz, Austria, has been the Cleveland Orchestra's music director for the past 16 years. One of the very first recordings he was given as a child was a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhaQsgrIH8Y">Cleveland Orchestra performance</a> of <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/90515326/peter-ilyich-tchaikovsky">Tchaikovsky</a>'s Fifth Symphony conducted by Szell. The Szell years, he says, were very different times.</p> <p>"It was a reign of terror, basically," Welser-Möst says with a chuckle. "He decided on everything, even into the personal lives of the musicians." Reportedly, Szell even chose the toilet paper for Severance Hall, the orchestra's home since 1931. </p> <p>"He micromanaged everybody's playing," Welser-Möst adds. "He was all about precision and balance, and he got the orchestra to play in a way which was, for those days, really extraordinary." </p> <p>Szell might have been a ruthless perfectionist, but he crafted a sound admired the world over. He presided over successful tours of Europe and the Soviet Union — and also withstood a musicians' strike in 1967. </p> <p>The Cleveland sound attracted some of the world's top talent, including one of the most respected composer-conductors of 20th century music, Pierre Boulez, who became the Cleveland Orchestra's principal guest conductor in 1969. </p> <p>"He had this incredible ear," Jones says. "No one that I know of had an ear like Boulez had." The Frenchman also became Cleveland's musical adviser in 1970, expanding the orchestra's repertoire to include most of the major works by <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/15162684/igor-stravinsky">Stravinsky</a>, <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/15228868/bela-bartok">Bartók</a> and <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/15051604/claude-debussy">Debussy</a>, and those of living composers. </p> <p>Jones says that Lorin Maazel, who became the orchestra's music director in 1972, brightened the Cleveland Orchestra sound, followed by Christoph von Dohnanyi, who added some warmth and elegance. By 1994, <em>Time</em> magazine hailed Cleveland as the "best band in the land." Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/12/arts/music/welser-most-and-the-cleveland-orchestra-head-to-lincoln-center-festival.html?module=inline"><em>The</em> <em>New York Times</em> said</a> Cleveland has "a plausible claim to being the best in America."</p> <p>In October, however, things took a dark turn. The orchestra's longtime concertmaster and its principal trombonist were fired after an independent investigation determined they engaged in sexual misconduct. The incidents alleged so far didn't occur at the Cleveland Orchestra, but at other institutions where the two musicians were teaching.</p> <p>Jones, who has played in the orchestra for 50 years, says that for her part, she's never felt the atmosphere of an old boys club. "When I was first in the orchestra there were a dozen to 15 women," she says, adding that the men she befriended in the orchestra treated her more like a daughter. "I never, ever was approached or felt sexually harassed in any way whatsoever. And I'm sorry if that's disappointing to news media, because news likes to have exciting subjects to talk about."</p> <p>Rosenberg believes the Cleveland Orchestra will survive the scandal — and that the city, which is fiercely loyal to its musicians, will stand behind the ensemble.</p> <p>"This orchestra was nurtured by a community that really wanted to hear symphonic music on the highest level, Rosenberg says. "It took several generations for that to be accomplished. But once it was accomplished it's never turned back." <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Bush <p>President George H.W. Bush is getting&nbsp;a national farewell at Washington National Cathedral&nbsp;before family, friends, presidents and foreign dignitaries.</p> <p>The nation&rsquo;s 41st president died Friday in Houston at age 94. His wife of 73 years, Barbara, passed away in April.</p> <p>Things to know about the event Wednesday:</p> <p><strong>THE SCHEDULE</strong></p> <p>Bush&rsquo;s casket and the family will arrive at the cathedral just before 11 a.m. EST Wednesday, when the service is expected to begin. Bush had been lying in state in the U.S. Capitol rotunda since Monday, with a river of mourners passing through around the clock. The viewing came to a close at 7 a.m. Wednesday.</p> <p><strong>WHO WILL SPEAK</strong></p> <p>Four men are expected to deliver eulogies. The late president&rsquo;s son George W. Bush, also a former president; former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, who held the post while the elder Bush was president; former Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., who has known the Bush family since the 1960s; and historian Jon Meacham, who wrote a Bush biography.</p> <p><strong>WHO WILL BE THERE</strong></p> <p>All eyes will be on the row directly in front of the pulpit. That&rsquo;s where President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, are expected to sit, along with the remaining former presidents and their families: George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and his wife &mdash; Trump&rsquo;s 2016 Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. Trump has had strained relations (at best) with all of them. But since Bush&rsquo;s death, Trump has extended traditional courtesies to the Bush family, including allowing them to stay at the presidential guest house and visiting with them there.</p> <p>Also attending: Britain&rsquo;s Prince Charles, the king and queen of Jordan, Polish President Andrzej Duda and other dignitaries from around the world. Look, too, for some of the graybeards from the late president&rsquo;s administration.</p> <p><strong>HOVERING</strong></p> <p>Look for much discussion of Bush&rsquo;s legacy of decency, humor and a determination to avoid referring to himself with the pronoun &ldquo;I.&rdquo; That last habit alone, instilled in Bush by his mother, sets up a contrast with Trump that no one has to mention out loud. Likely, no one will, in keeping with the Bush family&rsquo;s reported wish that the nation mourn their patriarch without the drama of such distractions.</p> <p>But Meacham wrote an op-ed for The New York Times this week about Bush that ended with a hard-to-mistake reference.</p> <p>&ldquo;The nation mourns him not least because we no longer have a president who knows that the story of the nation is not all about him,&rdquo; Meacham wrote.</p> <p><strong>BUSH AND THE CATHEDRAL</strong></p> <p>The late president played an important role in the history of the cathedral chartered by Congress in 1893.</p> <p>On Sept. 29, 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt laid the foundation stone. Exactly 83 years later, Bush was there when the final stone was laid in place.</p> <p>Bush said at the time: &ldquo;We have constructed here this symbol of our nation&rsquo;s spiritual life, overlooking the center of our nation&rsquo;s secular life, a symbol which combines the permanence of stone and God &mdash; both of which will outlast men and memories.&rdquo;</p> <p>Bush is the fourth president to have his state funeral at the site, according to the cathedral. The others were Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford. Seven other presidents had memorial services there.</p> <p><strong>A BIT ABOUT STATE FUNERALS</strong></p> <p>For U.S. presidents, there&rsquo;s a whole list of customs, protocols and military honors that influence a national farewell, but much of the affair is subject to the family&rsquo;s wishes. The president&rsquo;s survivors are entitled to a military escort for the immediate family, for example, until the remains are buried. A nine-person team that carries the casket is another option. And a flag-draped casket is an honor afforded military veterans and the president as commander in chief.</p> <p>Bush was a veteran of World War II.</p> <p><strong>THE LAST TIME</strong></p> <p>Sen. John McCain&rsquo;s funeral was held at Washington National Cathedral after he died in August of brain cancer. Trump, who derided McCain&rsquo;s heroism in Vietnam and prodded the senator even during his illness, was asked by the family to stay away. But it seemed like the rest of Washington attended and the event became widely regarded as a repudiation of the current president. The assembled crowd burst into applause when McCain&rsquo;s daughter, Meghan, loudly rejected Trumpism from the pulpit without naming the president. Trump spent the day playing golf.</p> <p><strong>WHERE TO NEXT</strong></p> <p>Bush&rsquo;s casket will return to Texas late Wednesday for the last time.</p> <p>He&rsquo;s expected to lie in repose at St. Martin&rsquo;s Episcopal Church in Houston until 7 a.m. EST Thursday. The church will also hold its own memorial service for the former president later that morning.</p> <p>A motorcade will take Bush&rsquo;s body to Union Pacific Railroad Westfield Auto Facility, where a funeral train will transport the late president&rsquo;s remains to Texas A&amp;M University in College Station, Texas. He&rsquo;ll be laid to rest on the grounds of the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, near his wife, Barbara, and their daughter Robin, who died of leukemia in 1953 at age 3.</p> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yhgCDfQX08

Outlines 2020 Presidential Bid <p><strong>Updated at 11:46 a.m. ET </strong></p> <p>Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren essentially kicked off her 2020 presidential campaign on Monday, announcing an exploratory committee — a formal step toward seeking the Democratic nomination for president in 2020 — along with outlining a pitch to voters.</p> <p>In a highly produced <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbH0RU4GcVo">4 1/2 minute<strong> </strong>video</a> emailed to supporters on New Year's Eve, Warren made a populist political appeal, recounting her own middle class background and her work on consumer financial protections.</p> <p>Warren insisted the middle class is "under attack" from corporations and the right, including President Trump, who she vowed can be defeated in 2020.</p> <p>"How did we get here?" she asked rhetorically. "Billionaires and big corporations decided they wanted more of the pie. And they enlisted politicians to cut them a fatter slice." <strong> </strong></p> <p>Warren's possible strength in what will be a crowded contest includes her track record of speaking to economic concerns. She has also consistently shown that she's willing to fight with President Trump. But she is a polarizing figure who may struggle to craft her own narrative, in part, because she has become a foe for conservatives, who portray her as a liberal elitist by pointing to her background as a Harvard law professor.</p> <p>Prior to 2012, when she became the first woman elected to the Senate from Massachusetts, Warren had never held elected office.</p> <p>Still, the 69-year-old senator has been a liberal icon since even<strong> </strong>before she was first elected. A professor turned consumer advocate, she was instrumental in the establishment of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a watchdog agency created in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. But her outspoken criticism of the banking industry has also earned her the ire of some conservatives.</p> <p>During her years as a senator, Warren is perhaps best known for sharply <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/20/494738797/you-should-resign-watch-sen-elizabeth-warren-grill-wells-fargo-ceo-john-stumpf">grilling </a>financial executives. In 2016, she famously told the then-CEO of Wells Fargo he "should resign" for leading the bank during a time when it created fake accounts.</p> <p>Speculation that Warren might run for president began almost as soon as she won her Senate<strong> </strong>seat in 2012. In 2016, many progressive groups urged her to run for president and her hometown newspaper, the<em> Boston Globe,</em> even ran an editorial arguing that "Democrats need Elizabeth Warren's voice in 2016 presidential race."</p> <p>Warren passed up the opportunity, but four years later she is now ready — although she will face a much larger field, including possibly other progressive<strong> </strong>favorites like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and several other fellow senators likely to join the fray. Some two dozen Democrats are expected to run for president this cycle, including a number of women and candidates of color. It's not clear those same progressive activists who had encouraged Warren to run a few years ago will back her this time with a wider field to choose from.</p> <p>"Senator Elizabeth Warren's formal entrance into the 2020 race for President today helps launch what we believe will be a vibrant discussion of bold, inclusive populist ideas in the Democratic Primary, and we look forward to the wide array of progressive candidates that we expect to join her in it in the year ahead," said Charles Chamberlain, executive director of Democracy for America, in a statement. In 2014 and 2015, DFA worked with Moveon.org to encourage Warren to run for president.</p> <p>Warren's entrance into the contest to try and challenge President Trump in 2020 is a development he's likely to relish. Trump has frequently delighted in derisively calling Warren "Pocahontas," a reference to her 2012 campaign against Republican Scott Brown when he claimed she had misrepresented her family's Cherokee heritage for professional gain. In October 2018 — one of the clearest signs yet she was readying for a national campaign — Warren released results of a DNA test showing that she did have Native American ancestry going back several generations. The Cherokee Nation, however, called the DNA testing "useless."</p> <p>The incident was intended to quiet critics, but quickly became a cultural faux pas of its own. Trump's taunting did not end. And even some Democrats accused Warren of misunderstanding the complexity of race and identity.</p> <p>Warren appears to target voters of varied cultural, geographic and economic backgrounds with an anti-corporate, pro-worker message in her initial campaign pitch. One of the biggest criticisms of Hillary Clinton's failed 2016 bid was a focus on appealing to specific demographic groups, particularly marginalized groups, alienating white, working-class voters who helped elect Trump.</p> <p>In her launch video, Warren touched on her working-class childhood in Oklahoma. She discusses how her mother got a minimum wage job at Sears when her father got sick, in order to keep the family in their house. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Traditions <p>The twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago is famous for calypso and soca, infectious music that takes center stage during the island's annual <a href="https://www.npr.org/tags/386912000/carnival">Carnival</a>. But during the Christmas season another type of music dominates.</p> <p>At a sound check for a band that plays old-time instruments, musicians play cuatro, a small, four-stringed acoustic guitar. There are also mandolins, maracas and a box bass, Trinidad's version of the washtub bass. These are some of the instruments that are used to make the religious folk music called parang.</p> <p>During the months leading up to Christmas, parang can be heard just about everywhere in Trinidad. Most of the songs are about the birth of Christ. However, not everyone understands the lyrics. Parang was brought to Trinidad by migrant farm workers from nearby Venezuela. The songs are sung in Spanish even though the mother tongue on the island is English.</p> <p>Some parang groups like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Losalumnos.Desanjuan/">Los Alumnos de San Juan</a> pantomime to help audiences grasp the Spanish lyrics to songs. Alicia Jaggasar is the leader of Los Alumnos de San Juan and also heads the National Parang Association.</p> <p>"Parang music is our way at Christmastime to tell the story but in a different language and in a different musical style," Jaggasar says. "So you wouldn't hear it as the normal 'Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn king.' You will hear: '<em>Cantando gloria, gloria, gloria en el cielo. En un establo nació el Dios verdadero,</em>'" which translates to "Singing glory, glory, glory in heaven. The true God was born in a stable."</p> <p>Jaggasar's group is booked until Christmas Eve. On that night, parang bands go house to house until the wee hours in an exuberant form of Christmas caroling. But they must adhere to some elaborate musical etiquette to gain entry.</p> <p>"You have to do a <em>serenado</em> from outside," Jaggasar says. "And in that song, you have to actually say who you are, and what you've come to do. And it's only when the host hears who you are, then the door is open. They don't just open it just like that."</p> <p>But once inside, the party revs up.</p> <p>"Christmas morning, I would hear the cuatros, the mandolins, as the groups went from house to house, " Michele Reis, a Trinidad academic, says. "There is lots of rum flowing, there is food that comes. ... And it's just a really festive time, you know?"</p> <p>To keep this tradition alive, high schools and colleges in Trinidad hold parang contests. Still, musicians are always tinkering with parang in an effort to reach a wider audience. One result is soca-parang, which is sung in English so more people will understand, and fused with the frenetic rhythms of soca.</p> <p>Purists complain that the lyrics often glorify girls rather than the gospel. But Jaggasar endorses the hybrid. "Because we are land of calypso, soca and steel band, we like to mix things, that is just our culture," Jaggasar says. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Violent Election, Accusations Of Rigging <p><strong>Updated at 12:20 p.m. ET</strong></p> <p>Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her ruling alliance have secured another term in power following Bangladesh's general election Sunday, during which the military was deployed and almost 20 people were killed. The results, announced Monday by the Bangladesh Election Commission, have been rejected by the main opposition party, which accuses Hasina's party of rigging the election, according to the Associated Press.</p> <p>On Monday, Hasina said her government tried to ensure a free election and that the opposition lost because it lacked leadership, Reuters reports.</p> <p>The United Nations in a statement issued Monday said it was aware of the violence and "reports of irregularities" in the elections.</p> <p>"We call on all sides to exercise restraint and ensure a peaceful post electoral environment, where people can maintain their right to assembly and expression," a U.N. spokesman said. "We encourage the parties to address electoral complaints in a peaceful manner and through legal means. Violence and attacks on people and property are not acceptable."</p> <p>Hasina, who has been in office since 2009, is credited with <a href="https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG?locations=BD">almost a decade of continued GDP growth</a> in Bangladesh as well as the development of a <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2017/04/30/525858799/4-years-after-rana-plaza-tragedy-whats-changed-for-bangladeshi-garment-workers">roughly $30 billion garment export industry</a>, second-largest only to China. She also has been applauded for her handling of the Rohingya refugee crisis, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/12/hasina-takes-early-lead-deadly-bangladesh-election-day-181230135104803.html">reports</a> Al Jazeera<em>. </em>Her ruling Awami League alliance won 288 of the 300 parliamentary seats up for grabs during Sunday's election, AP reports.</p> <p>Joyeeta Bhattacharjee, a senior fellow at the Observer Research Foundation, a think tank based in New Delhi, says Hasina's development-centered pitch helped her win re-election. She told NPR the country's improving economy "has boosted the morale of the people like anything."</p> <p>For common people, especially in an impoverished country like Bangladesh, Bhattacharjee says, everyday issues such as economic growth and development are more important than human rights violations and cracking down on free speech.</p> <p>The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party has accused Hasina's decade-long rule of becoming increasingly authoritarian, according to AP. The lead-up to this weekend's election saw a widespread crackdown <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/28/bangladesh-election-sheikh-hasina-heads-for-tainted-victory">on dissent</a> and <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bangladesh-election-journalists/masked-youths-attack-bangladeshi-journalists-covering-election-campaign-idUSKCN1OO0ME">the media</a>. Hasina's opponents also complained that they were <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/bangladesh-opposition-alliance-demands-action-over-election-attacks/4707581.html">unable to campaign freely</a> because of intimidation, allegations the ruling party denies.</p> <p>Hasina's administration also drew flak for the <a href="https://www.npr.org/2018/11/21/669868849/bangladeshi-photojournalist-and-activist-freed-after-107-days-in-prison">arrest</a> of a prominent Bangladeshi photographer Shahidul Alam. And her political rival, former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, has been imprisoned since February after being sentenced to five years for alleged corruption and was ineligible to mount her own campaign, <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/bangladesh-to-hold-elections-dec-23-despite-zia-s-arrest/4649905.html">reports</a> Voice of America<em>. </em></p> <p>These concerns prompted the U.S. to send election monitors, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bangladesh-election-observers/u-s-to-send-observers-to-bangladesh-election-amid-opposition-concerns-idUSKCN1O031A">according</a> to Reuters. During Sunday's vote, at least 17 people were killed, despite some 600,000 security forces being deployed to contain any violence, police tell the news agency.</p> <p>Opposition alliance leader Kamal Hossain called Sunday's vote "flawed" and he called for a new vote under a neutral administration "as soon as possible," according to Reuters. His party won just seven parliamentary seats, AP reports.</p> <p>"We've had bad elections in the past but I must say that it is unprecedented how bad this particular election was," Hossain told Reuters. He said candidates witnessed ballot-stuffing, vote-rigging and the barring of opposition polling agents from voting centers by ruling party activists.</p> <p>The Election Commission will investigate the allegations, which the ruling party deny.</p> <p>The last time Bangladesh <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2014/01/06/world/asia/bangladesh-elections/index.html">went to the polls in 2014</a>, the BNP boycotted the election, more than half the parliamentary seats went uncontested and violence left at least 18 people dead. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2019 NPR.

After years of working odd jobs and performing as a James Brown impersonator, in 2011, at the age of 62, Bradley released his debut album, <em>No Time for Dreaming</em>. The album was a triumph for the soul singer who had endured a lifetime of hardship. From then on, Bradley toured and recorded relentlessly, earning the nickname "Screaming Eagle of Soul." But in the fall of 2016 Bradley was diagnosed with stomach cancer, which caused him to cancel tour dates as the power in his voice began to waver. Bradley <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2017/09/23/553171466/screaming-eagle-of-soul-charles-bradley-dies-at-68">died</a> in September 2017 at the age of 68. </p> <p>Tom Brenneck, Bradley's guitar player, co-writer, producer and bandleader, was always by Bradley's side throughout the singer's career. After Bradley died, Brenneck began to go through old tape reels to pull together <em>Black Velvet,</em> one final album of rare and unreleased Bradley plus one instrumental that he never got the chance to sing on.</p> <p>Brenneck says some of these old songs on the album, like "Can't Fight The Feeling," resurfaced memories of the years he spent with Bradley.</p> <p>"It was with profound sadness to be having to work on this record and look for these songs. The whole thing was just like ... I was gutted at the time," Brenneck says. "So, when I found that song you know it did lift my spirits to be like, 'Wow, there's a couple of long-lost Charles songs and I get to share with the world.' "</p> <p>Brenneck says it took years to shake the James Brown persona that Bradley found so much comfort in, but once he did, it was as though Brenneck met a brand-new man. "The midtempo and the moodiness of that music allowed Charles to put himself in it," he says. "And the first time he did 'The World (Is Going Up In Flames)' — that was <em>Charles,</em> man. That did not sound like James Brown. It didn't sound like anything else before it." </p> <p>Brenneck admits that he had to stop the tapes numerous times throughout the course of putting <em>Black Velvet</em> together because he got emotional over missing his friend. Brenneck still hears the pain in Bradley's voice. </p> <p>"When lyrics wouldn't do it for Charles, he would scream," he says. "On the last song on the record, 'Victim of Love,' there is a scream that sounds like it comes from the center of the earth."</p> <p>According to Brenneck, there won't be another record of unreleased Bradley music after <em>Black Velvet,</em> but he hopes listeners feel the love Bradley spread through these songs. "If he could physically do it, he would have gave everybody a sweaty, sweaty hug." </p> <p><em>Black Velvet</em> is available now. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 NPR.

King of the Seven Seas!) has undergone on his way to this weekend's blockbuster movie <em>Aquaman. </em>Inevitably, it will elide many details important to ardent fans of the character, and open its author up to charges of not knowing whereof he speaks, of a willful ignorance of the character, of simply echoing stale observations hastily ransacked from the Aquaman Wikipedia page.</p> <p>The defense humbly (okay, smugly) presents the following evidence.</p> <p><strong>Exhibit A: </strong>That photo atop this post? That's the author's collection of aqua-memorabilia. Kindly do not refer to it as a shrine, as it is simply the by-product of what happens when the author's lifelong obsession with a fictional character intersects with his husband's insistence that said obsession not take up more space in their tiny apartment than the top of one friggin' dresser. </p> <p><strong>Exhibit B:</strong> I've written about <a href="https://www.npr.org/2011/03/24/134760062/torrid-comics-confessions-im-cheating-on-the-sea-king-with-marineman">the connection I've always felt to the character</a> in this space before. Here's an excerpt:</p> <p><blockquote></p> <p>I was, from a very young age, a competitive swimmer. My teammates, in fact, nicknamed me "Aquaman" — not because I was fast (I really,&nbsp;<em>really</em>&nbsp;wasn't) but because I could never dive off the starting block without sinking too near the bottom of the pool.</p> <p>They were&nbsp;<em>such&nbsp;</em>cut-ups, those guys.</p> <p>I wore their derisive nickname like a badge of honor, devouring reruns of the 1960s&nbsp;<em>Aquaman</em>&nbsp;animated shorts. I never missed an episode of&nbsp;<em>Super Friends</em>. Inevitably, my fixation with aquatic heroes expanded to the real world: I started watching&nbsp;<strong>Jacques Cousteau</strong>&nbsp;specials obsessively, built scale models of Cousteau's ship&nbsp;<em>Calypso</em>&nbsp;and memorized long passages from his coffee table book,&nbsp;<em>The Ocean World</em>.</p> <p>By age 10, I had resolved to become a cetologist (a marine biologist specializing in whales and dolphins). At 13, I dragged my family to the just-opened Baltimore Aquarium, and stocked my home aquariums with fresh and saltwater fishes. At 14, I was the youngest person in my dive class, and — I found out later — the youngest diver my instructor had ever certified. Later, I interned at the National Aquarium in Washington, DC, and dove in Fiji and the Solomon Islands.</p> <p>Eventually, I somehow eked out an undergraduate degree in Marine Biology, all the while demonstrating a truly appalling lack of aptitude for requirements like Calculus I, Calculus II, Organic Chemistry I, Organic Chemistry II, Physics I, Physics II, Quantitative Analysis I, Quantitative Analysis II, Chemical Oceanography and Physical Oceanography. My mild form of color-blindness transformed a harmless-seeming course called Intro to Phycology — which required students to identify, on sight, various forms of green algae, red algae, brown algae and blue-green algae — into a slimy hellscape of greenish-reddish-brownish-bluish-greenish frustration and despair.</p> <p>In the end, all that math and seaweed proved too much for me. I gave up on Marine Biology, but I never gave up on Aquaman. He embodied everything I'd loved about it (high adventure in a strange and beautiful undersea world) and none of the things I'd despised (isohalines and Avogadro's number).</p> <p></blockquote></p> <p><strong>Exhibit C:</strong> The author's closet shelves are currently stuffed with 11 Aquaman T-shirts, 2 pairs of Aquaman pajama bottoms and 1 set of adult Aquaman Underoos. That last bit is likely more information than the present situation requires; it is included here in the interest of full transparency.</p> <p><strong>Exhibit D:</strong> This post will not concern itself with Aquaman's eventful, turbulent and, above all, <em>dense </em>history of changes on the comics page itself, and will stick to his wider public perception, as driven by television and film incarnations. </p> <p>But I have written about <a href="https://www.npr.org/2010/02/17/114529613/aquaman-no-longer-sleeps-with-the-fishes-i-should-probably-rephrase-that">the ceaseless churn of his comics history before</a>. (Up to 2010, at least.) (It's ... a lot.)</p> <p><strong>Exhibit E:</strong> The author's left shoulder is adorned with a tattoo of Aquaman, swimming and smiling, based on a classic illustration of the Sea King by artist Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez. (Said shoulder, like the rest of the author, is heavily freckled, so the net effect is that of Aquaman swimming through a deadly red tide while managing to seem awfully chipper about it.)</p> <p><strong>Exhibit F-Word:</strong> A while back I wrote <a href="https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/aquaman-king-of-the-seven-seas-has-fucking-had-it-with-you-man">a short monologue from Aquaman's point of view</a>, in which he lashed out at a world that had come to mock him. (Warning: Contains explicit language and references to MySpace.)</p> <p>All of which is to say: On matters aquatic, and Aquatic, I am thoroughly versed.</p> <p><hr /></p> <p>So here's how we got from the square, stiff, fish-cop Aquaman of Saturday morning cartoons to Jason Momoa's <em>extreeeeeme!</em>, puka-shelled Aqua-<em>MY-MAN!</em></p> <p><strong>Phase One: "Gallopin' Guppies!"</strong></p> <p>Aquaman's been around since 1941, when his creators, Mort Weisinger and Paul Norris, established the basics: He protects the sea and its creatures, whom he commands via mental telepathy. He wears an orange and green outfit, and he's got this big pouf of blonde hair ... but jet-black eyebrows, for some reason. (There's always been something thrillingly trashy about that fact; it's only one of several reasons that you can imagine Aquaman being John Waters' favorite superhero.) </p> <p>(... No? Just me? Fine.)</p> <p>Like his A-list buddies Superman and Batman, he survived the post-war crunch, when the public abandoned superhero comics for crime comics, war comics and romance comics. Yet it took Aquaman 26 years to make his way off of the comics page, and even then he only did so by riding Superman's cape, with a CBS Saturday morning cartoon called the <em>Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure</em>. </p> <p>On that cartoon, which consisted of several six-minute shorts, Aquaman and his sidekick Aqualad repeatedly saved the undersea city of Atlantis from various marauders including Black Manta, The Brain, Queen Vassa of the Mermen, and ... (shudder)<em> The Fisherman.</em> </p> <p>He was pretty much your standard square do-gooder, firmly in the 1966 Adam West <em>Batman</em> series tradition. He had an Aqua-cave. He was forever referring to Aqualad as "tadpole" or some variant thereof. He registered surprise by shouting "Great Gastropods!" As you do.</p> <p>Which is to say: He generally came off as a stiff. A fish-cop, basically — or maybe a fish-sheriff, as he and Aqualad rode around the ocean on giant seahorses while getting involved in various maritime scrapes. </p> <p><em>The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure</em>, along with the several subsequent series that repackaged the animated shorts for syndication, were most notable for two things: </p> <p>1. The hilariously stentorian tones of narrator Ted Knight, who, like his <em>Mary Tyler Moore Show</em> character Ted Baxter, was given to bombastic if ... unconventional pronunciations of certain words ("Aquaman" became, inevitably, "AACK-wuh-man!"). </p> <p>2. The choice to visually represent Aquaman's ability to communicate with sea-life via concentric circles emanating from his forehead, and to accompany it with an iconic <em>ping-ing-ing-ing-ing </em>sound that would become synonymous with the character. </p> <p>These animated shorts found Aquaman literally in his element — they took place entirely in his undersea kingdom, where his highly specific powers found liberal and effective use.</p> <p>That ... was about to change.</p> <p><strong>Phase Two: "In the Great Hall of the Justice League!"</strong></p> <p>In the '70s and '80s, on the Saturday morning cartoon <em>Super Friends </em>(the name of the series changed frequently over its 13-year history, but that's the name by which it is generally remembered), Aquaman earned a spot on the roster of the Earth's "four greatest heroes." </p> <p>And while the show's producers did their best to apportion the requisite saving of the day equally among Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman, most of the series took place on dry land. Inevitably, Aquaman's niche power set only proved <em>really </em>useful when the threat facing humanity was somehow ... water-related.</p> <p>Which, you know ... it often wasn't.</p> <p>And with the rise of the internet in the 1990s, something changed.</p> <p><strong>Phase Three: "He just talks to fish!"</strong></p> <p>Those kids that had grown up on his cartoons were teens and adults now. They looked back on the cheesy, straight-laced aquatic hero of their youth — <a href="https://tenor.com/view/come-over-coming-over-aquaman-flying-fish-funny-gif-5014598">who couldn't even fly unless he strapped flying fish to his feet </a>-- and started making fun of him.</p> <p>On messageboards, in webrings and blogs, he swiftly became a joke. A meme, before memes were even a thing. (The <a href="http://www.seanbaby.com/superfriends/aquaman.htm">internet wag known as Seanbaby</a> proved <a href="http://www.cracked.com/blog/if-aquaman-comics-knew-how-much-aquaman-sucks/">his most scathing and dependable critic</a>.) </p> <p>By the early 2000s, some of those same kids started writing for TV themselves, and making fun of Aquaman became a cottage industry. </p> <p>On shows like Cartoon Network's <em>Robot Chicken</em>, he was the much-derided, overeager schmuck always left behind while the other heroes did all the work.</p> <p>(It seemed pointless then, and more pointless now, to respond to this kind of mockery by pointing out that the character's status as a hero with a proscribed set of powers and abilities is <em>precisely </em>what makes him so appealing, that stories that show a character using their specific gifts in ingeniously apposite ways are inherently more compelling than stories in which characters breeze through every challenge based on raw power alone, that underdogs are more interesting than ringers, and that to be widely underestimated means to harbor the potential to surprise. So ... I won't bother pointing any of that out.)</p> <p>Meanwhile, over on HBO, Aquaman was about to face his biggest threat ever ... in terms of public perception, anyway.</p> <p><em>Bros.</em></p> <p><strong>Phase Four: "It's </strong><em><strong>Spider-Man</strong></em><strong> underwater! Boom!"</strong></p> <p>The comedyish series <em>Entourage</em>, about aspiring actor Vinny Chase (Adrian Grenier) and his band of meathead pals in Hollywood, turned the notion that a blockbuster film could made about <em>Aquaman</em>, of all characters, into an extended joke.</p> <p>It was a joke that played out over several seasons, beginning with its second, when Vinny (<em>very </em>reluctantly) agreed to star in the James Cameron-directed feature, face down hordes of rabid fans at Comic-Con, and act against his ex, Mandy Moore, who played Aquagirl. Eventually, <em>Entourage </em>paid off that long-running joke with the ultimate punchline, in its usual, no-stakes, conflict-free style — the show's version of the <em>Aquaman </em>movie became the highest-grossing film of all time.</p> <p>Imagine, right? Useless old Aquaman, as the star of a successful blockbuster film? Haw haw haw!</p> <p><strong>Phase Five: "My </strong><em><strong>MAN</strong></em><strong>!"</strong></p> <p>On Nickelodeon's animated series <em>SpongeBob SquarePants</em>, the Aquaman stand-in Mermaid Man makes frequent guest appearances as a washed-up hero whom SpongeBob blithely worships, and Cartoon Network's <em>Batman: The Brave and the Bold </em>regularly featured a bluff, bearded Aquaman as one of its breakout characters. Both portrayals carry more than a faint whiff of satire, but both clearly come from a place of sincere, nerdy affection.</p> <p>When it comes to live-action portrayals, however, the change in Aquaman has proven strikingly swift and stark — and far less nerdy.</p> <p>Since <em>Entourage</em> went off the air, Aquaman has gone from being the <em>butt </em>of bro-ey jokes to ... well.</p> <p>There's no other way to put it: To a bro himself. </p> <p>A surfer-bro, specifically. </p> <p>As played by Jason Momoa in last year's <em>Justice League</em> and in the new film <em>Aquaman</em>, he's become the kind of long-haired, tatted up, swaggering party animal <em>duuuuude </em>you could easily imagine rounding out Vinny Chase's ... entourage. </p> <p>The bros ... won. Aquaman has become one of them. </p> <p>Now, sure, maybe that makes him more popular. The film's <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/aquaman-is-breaking-box-office-records-in-china-2018-12">already broken records in Chin</a>a.</p> <p>But whenever a character like Aquaman changes this much, this quickly, something is gained ... </p> <p>... but something is lost. Something, in this case, sort of agreeably square, and kind of pleasantly cheesy. </p> <p>Some of us (hi!), might miss the old, fish-cop do-gooder, but that doesn't mean the newest incarnation of the Sea King is any less legitimate, any less "real," than the one we grew up with. Whether we love or hate <em>Aquaman </em>the film, or Momoa's ... ah, <em>full-throated</em> portrayal ("Wooooooooo! AwRIIIIIGHT!"), our Aquaman hasn't gone anywhere. He's still out there somewhere, astride his giant seahorse Storm, summoning a sea turtle to hurl itself against a hole in Atlantis' dome, or some similarly silly aquatic endeavor. </p> <p>That's the abiding truth of superheroes. They change all the time, but they do not necessarily evolve. They iterate, but their previous versions stick around. </p> <p>Which is why, no matter how <em>hardcoooore</em>, how <em>gnaaaarly</em>, how <em>extreeeeeme </em>he becomes, some of us will always remember Aquaman as he once was: the undervalued, underestimated undersea underdog. </p> <p>The hero ... who talks to fish. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 NPR.

"Huawei is one company we've been concerned about. There are others as well."</p> <p>Huawei is one of the world's leading producers of smartphones and telecommunications equipment. Meng is the daughter of the company's founder. She's expected to appear for a bail hearing in Vancouver on Friday. The Justice Department also declined to comment on the reason for Meng's arrest.</p> <p><strong>Cease-fire?</strong></p> <p>She was detained the same day President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a working dinner in Buenos Aires, Argentina.</p> <p>The two leaders emerged from that meeting signaling a cease-fire in their trade war. Trump agreed to hold off on additional tariffs on Chinese imports for 90 days while negotiations continued over China's trade practices.</p> <p>"The main thing is to protect American jobs and American companies from the unfair treatment that they've received at the hands of the Chinese government," Bolton said. "They're not beating other countries in fair competition. They're stealing from them."</p> <p>Vice President Pence also sounded a warning about China's growing assertiveness in a speech this fall to the Hudson Institute.</p> <p>"America had hoped that economic liberalization would bring China into a greater partnership with us and with the world," Pence said. "Instead, China has chosen economic aggression, which has in turn emboldened its growing military."</p> <p>Bolton generally shares those hawkish views. But he stressed the U.S. is not trying to limit China's economic growth.</p> <p>"I don't think national security requires that at all," Bolton said. "What I think national security does require is that whatever economic growth China is blessed with, it gets by playing by the rules."</p> <p>He reiterated the vice president's skepticism that prosperity would automatically lead to political change in China.</p> <p>"I've heard going back years: 'Just let the Chinese economy grow a little bit and you'll see democracy spread all through the country,' " Bolton said. "We know today that connection is far from certain."</p> <p><strong>"I am a Tariff Man"</strong></p> <p>Financial markets initially welcomed the Trump-Xi cease-fire, with stocks rallying on Monday. But doubts soon crept in that it would last, especially after Trump <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1069970500535902208">tweeted his support for tariffs</a> on Tuesday.</p> <p>"I am a Tariff Man," Trump wrote. "When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. It will always be the best way to max out our economic power. We are right now taking in $billions in Tariffs."</p> <p>Indeed, Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports cost American businesses and consumers $2.2 billion in October, the first month in which those tariffs were fully in effect, according to an analysis of U.S. Census data by the Trade Partnership, an economic research firm.</p> <p>"Americans are paying these taxes and they're paying more than ever before," said former Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La., who serves as spokesman for an advocacy group, Tariffs Hurt the Heartland.</p> <p>Boustany notes tariffs directed at China tariffs did little to discourage imports or encourage domestic production, but retaliatory tariffs imposed by China have reduced U.S. exports. Imports from China subject to tariffs increased 2 percent in October, while exports subject to China's retaliatory tariffs plummeted 42 percent.</p> <p>When combined with levies on steel, aluminum and other imports, the total price tag for Trump administration tariffs was $2.8 billion in October. That pushed the federal government's monthly tariff revenue to a record $6.2 billion.</p> <p><strong>Rules of engagement </strong></p> <p>Tariffs could go even higher if the U.S. and China fail to reach agreement on the sticky issues surrounding intellectual property and forced technology transfer. Bolton said business people are right to be worried.</p> <p>"What prudent people should do is look at the way China functions and ask themselves whether trade and investment with an economy that takes advantage of its trading partners and puts their intellectual property at risk is something they want to engage in," he said.</p> <p>Bolton also expressed skepticism about North Korea's willingness to abandon its outlawed nuclear program, even as he advocates for a second face-to-face meeting between the president and Kim Jong Un.</p> <p>"President Trump is trying to give the North Koreans a chance to live up to the commitments they made at the Singapore summit," Bolton said. "He's held the door open for them. They need to walk through it." <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 NPR.

CenturyLink Outage That Disrupted 911 Service <p>The Federal Communications Commission has launched an investigation into a phone and Internet outage that disrupted 911 services across the country starting Thursday.</p> <p>The telecommunications giant CenturyLink, based in Monroe, La., says <a href="https://status.ctl.io/history/68d99a34-94e8-4fdf-af20-8612e335f97d">the outage began</a> at 8:18 a.m. ET on Thursday. The website Down Detector says it primarily affected Western states, but emergency service providers on both coasts reported disruptions. CenturyLink has said "a network element ... was impacting customer services" but has offered no further details on the cause of the outage or the number of customers affected.</p> <p>"When an emergency strikes, it's critical that Americans are able to use 911 to reach those who can help," FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said in a press release Friday. "The CenturyLink service outage is therefore completely unacceptable, and its breadth and duration are particularly troubling."</p> <p>On Friday afternoon, more than 24 hours after first reporting the outage, CenturyLink's Twitter feed said: "While our network is experiencing service disruptions, where CenturyLink is the 911 service provider 911 calls are completing." The tweet followed an earlier one that prompted ridicule, in which CenturyLink suggested its customers drive to fire stations if they couldn't call 911.</p> <p>Social media posts from emergency service providers and media outlets from Boston to Tacoma, Wash., posted messages <a href="https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1906414076079827&id=628503137204267">like this one, from the Helena, Mont., police department </a>Thursday.</p> <p>As 911 appeared to be restored in some areas, emergency managers <a href="https://twitter.com/MassStatePolice/status/1078722686107504640">continued to advise residents of local 10-digit numbers </a>that could take emergency calls.</p> <p>Brian Fontes, CEO of the National Emergency Numbers Association, says that while small, localized 911 outages are fairly common and quickly repaired, outages affecting a large enough population to prompt an FCC investigation are not.</p> <p>The FCC says its last investigation of a 911 outage was launched in March of last year. It fined AT&T $5.25 million for two nationwide outages in March and May 2017 that lasted a total of approximately six hours and resulted in the failure of 15,200 failed 911 calls.</p> <p>In addition to disrupting 911 services, the CenturyLink outage also caused outages of Verizon network services in at least two states, New Mexico and Montana. Some ATMs in Montana and Idaho also failed to work, and at the North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley, Colo., doctors and nurses for a time had difficulty accessing patient records.</p> <p>CenturyLink calls itself "the second largest U.S. communications provider to global enterprise customers." Its growth in the Western states was driven by mergers like its acquisition of Denver-based QWest, approved by the FCC in 2011. Last year the FCC <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-approves-centurylink-level-3-transaction">approved</a> CenturyLink's purchase of Level-3 Communications in a deal valued at approximately $34 billion. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 Montana Public Radio.

She came out as pansexual in a sprawling <em>Rolling Stone</em> cover story. And her album <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2018/04/27/606066039/janelle-mon-e-strips-the-hardware-for-humanity"><em>Dirty Computer</em></a>, released this spring with a companion film — sorry, "emotion picture" — is Grammy-nominated for album of the year and can be found on practically every major list of the best albums of 2018, including ours.</p> <p><em>Dirty Computer</em> was named NPR Music's <a href="https://www.npr.org/2018/12/04/671242319/the-50-best-albums-of-2018-page-5">No. 1 album of 2018</a>, in part because of its message. As one staffer wrote, the songs take place in "a vivid dystopian world where anyone deemed 'dirty' is hunted and chemically lobotomized, or 'cleaned.' In this totalitarian world of Dirty Computers, not unlike the divisive reality of 2018, nonconformity can spell extinction if you don't fight back. With every guitar riff, every interlude, every moment of loving, queer affection, Monáe fights."</p> <p>Janelle Monáe joined NPR's Ailsa Chang from the Atlanta studios of her entertainment company, Wondaland Arts Society (whose film division recently entered into a production agreement with Universal), to talk about her process, her plans and why <em>Dirty Computer</em> could only have been written now. Hear the radio version at the audio link, and read on for highlights — including some moments that didn't make the broadcast.</p> <p><hr /></p> <p><h3>Interview Highlights</h3></p> <p><strong>On what </strong><em><strong>Dirty Computer</strong></em><strong> reveals about her career</strong></p> <p><em>Dirty Computer</em> was supposed to be the album that came out before my first album, <em>The ArchAndroid</em>, [but] I felt like I needed to live more. It started to really make itself once I got my mind and my spirit fearless enough to dig deep and have conversations with myself.</p> <p>One of the things that I felt was happening was, I was writing music only when I felt great. It was like, you go into the studio, and I want to go in when my heart is clear, when I know what I want to say. I got to point where it was crippling me, this idea of perfectionism, and it stopped me from writing for a minute. And what I decided to do was take some time. So when I wrote this album, it wasn't about perfection. It was about the imperfections. It was about embracing all those things that make you unique, even if it makes your own self uncomfortable. </p> <p><strong>On the song "</strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmG0LAbcmuM"><strong>So Afraid</strong></a><strong>"</strong></p> <p>For me it was about my love and hate relationship with this country. I love being American, I love being born here and having roots here. But there are some really evil things that have happened and continue to happen. And it speaks to being afraid of forgiving. I think of being hurt again, or being manipulated, or not fully standing my ground. And forgiving myself, also — you know, it's two parts. It's about being able to love yourself through it all, being able to love where you are right now, and to give yourself permission to forgive yourself when you make mistakes, when you let other people down.</p> <p><strong>On the story told in the album's structure</strong></p> <p>The album is broken up into three parts. The first few songs represent the reckoning — reckoning with what it means to be called a n***** for the first time by a white person, or being called a b**** for the first time by a man. And then you have the middle section, where "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaYvlVR_BEc">Pynk</a>" falls in, and songs like "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGRzz0oqgUE">Make Me Feel</a>," that are celebratory of sexuality and of womanness. The latter part of the album deals with the reclamation: A song like "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POZNheF-KdY">Americans</a>" is about reclaiming what it means to be an American. My ancestors helped build the White House, helped build this country. And it's not time to run away, it's time to stand your ground and confront what I call the great divide — those who seek to divide us and highlight all our differences and make us fearful of each other.</p> <p><strong>On the mission of her film company, Wondaland Pictures</strong></p> <p>There's so many stories out there. If I look at a <a href="https://www.npr.org/2016/10/18/498358778/moonlight-coming-of-age-in-miami-during-the-war-on-drugs-era"><em>Moonlight </em></a><em>--</em> a movie that I was extremely excited about being a part of — having a young, gay, black boy highlighted in the way that <em>Moonlight </em>highlighted his voice and story, I'd never seen in cinema. Even with <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2017/02/08/514048864/math-to-the-stars-the-ladies-of-hidden-figures"><em>Hidden Figures</em></a><em>,</em> another film that I was really honored to be a part of, I didn't have any idea about those women who helped get John Glenn into orbit, or the human computers who were doing all the numbers that it took to get our astronauts into space. So I'm just looking for those unique stories. There are a lot of other people that I respect and admire, like Issa Rae and Lena Waithe and Jordan Peele, who are who are also pushing forward underrepresented voices. I just hope, and Wondaland hopes, to continue to push culture forward and and redefine how we are viewed. I want to make movies the dirty computers can feel proud of.</p> <p><strong>On being Janelle Monáe in 2018</strong></p> <p>It feels like when you get off from school early in the first grade and your grandmother takes you to get ice cream, and you eat ice cream all night and you don't have a tummy ache, and then you get to go to the amusement park all by yourself. It's unexplainable, but it's very humbling — that word keeps popping up in my mind, and in my heart. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Told By Paul Manafort Since His Guilty Plea <p><strong>Updated at 9:45 p.m. ET</strong></p> <p>Paul Manafort allegedly lied to prosecutors about his communications with officials in the Trump administration, "information pertinent to another Department of Justice investigation" and more, the government <a href="https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=5453508-Special-Counsel-Memo-on-Manafort-Plea-Agreement">said in a court filing</a> on Friday.</p> <p>Manafort met with prosecutors 12 times and testified twice before a grand jury, the Justice Department said.</p> <p>During that time, prosecutors say Manafort didn't tell the truth about key topics even though he had agreed to cooperate with the government in any way it wanted as part of his guilty plea.</p> <p>The disclosures by special counsel Robert Mueller raise significant new questions about Manafort's motivations and his contacts with senior Trump administration officials even after he was indicted on several felony charges.</p> <p>Manafort's statements "were not instances of mere memory lapses," prosecutors wrote. "If the defendant contends the government has not acted in good faith, the government is able to prove the false statements at a hearing."</p> <p>Manafort's attorneys said in an earlier court filing that he has given the government useful information. Manafort is scheduled to be sentenced on March 5.</p> <p><strong>The alleged false statements</strong></p> <p>Prosecutors say Manafort made false statements about five major topics. They include his associate Konstantin Kilimnik, with whom he faced charges for alleged witness tampering; Kilimnik's role in that alleged crime; and a wire transfer to a company working for Manafort.</p> <p>Prosecutors have asserted in other court materials that Kilimnik has links to Russia's intelligence services.</p> <p>The fourth area is not spelled out — the government alludes only to "information pertinent to another Department of Justice investigation" — and the fifth involves Manafort's contacts with officials in the Trump administration.</p> <p>Authorities say Manafort sought to distance himself from the White House and other officials after he inked a plea deal. But they uncovered a text exchange in May 2018 between someone Manafort had authorized to speak on his behalf and an unnamed official. Moreover, prosecutors wrote, Manafort himself maintained contact with a "senior Administration official" through February 2018. They found still more contacts after they reviewed Manafort's electronic documents. </p> <p>The <em>New York Times</em> recently reported that even as Manafort had been cooperating with the special counsel's office, his attorney had been briefing an attorney for President Trump.</p> <p>That arrangement, although unusual, evidently isn't illegal, and it enabled Trump's lawyers to get a sense about the operations of Mueller's team. The special counsel's office, for its part, now contends that Manafort's denials about contacting people in the administration were among multiple false statements that void his plea deal.</p> <p>Mueller's office is investigating whether anyone in Trump's campaign conspired with the Russians who attacked the 2016 election. Manafort ran that campaign for part of the year and had many contacts with powerful Eastern Europeans as part of his earlier political consulting business.</p> <p>There is so far no allegation, however, that Manafort or anyone else with the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians who attacked the election. <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1071177621445230596">Trump posted on Twitter on Friday</a>, evidently responding to the evening's headlines, that he has been vindicated.</p> <p>Later, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said, "The government's filing in Mr. Manafort's case says absolutely nothing about the President. It says even less about collusion and is devoted almost entirely to lobbying-related issues. Once again, the media is trying to create a story where there isn't one."</p> <p>A significant portion of the special counsel filing is either under seal or redacted. It's not clear when those secret passages will become public. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 NPR.

first-ever Slingshot <a href="https://www.npr.org/2018/12/07/671264315/poll-results-slingshots-best-new-artist-of-2018">reader poll</a> to determine this year's fan favorite artist featured an impressive lineup of talented, rising musicians, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2018/01/09/570751142/slingshot2018">hand-picked by public radio stations throughout the year</a>. Choosing just one artist was a tough request, but after nearly 5,000 votes, fans worldwide have voted <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/592381666/dermot-kennedy">Dermot Kennedy</a> <a href="https://www.npr.org/2018/12/07/671264315/poll-results-slingshots-best-new-artist-of-2018">Slingshot's best new artist</a> of 2018. </p> <p>Originally from Rathcoole, Ireland, Kennedy spent his summers busking in Dublin and Boston, performing covers and reserving studio time for his own music. Kennedy says the experience was formative, but not in a strictly positive sense. Although the singer has the voice to cover radio hits, he described constantly playing someone else's music to a disinterested crowd as "soul-destroying over time."</p> <p>"There were plenty of days where you feel like you're just not loud enough because there's just like hundreds of people and you're just basically screaming your head off in the street," Kennedy says. </p> <p>Still, those paid dues helped him in the long run. Some of the busker's shout can still be heard in Kennedy's song "Young and Free." </p> <p>Kennedy's musical roots lie in the acoustic world — think <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/14967881/david-gray">David Gray</a> and <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/15334093/ray-lamontagne">Ray LaMontagne</a> — but in the last few years, he says he's become obsessed with hip-hop. Kennedy worked with producer <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/microphonecheck/2013/06/27/195925740/mike-dean-on-working-with-selena-scarface-and-kanye">Mike Dean</a> (known for his decades of work in the hip-hop world) first the 2018 EP, <em>Mike Dean Presents: Dermot Kennedy. </em></p> <p>"The production has become influenced by [hip-hop], but I' always quite conscience of the fact that the music I first fell in love with was singer-songwriters," Kennedy says. "I'm trying to balance those two things the whole time."</p> <p>One song that showcases this balancing act is "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0njhBp4ePCk">Moments Passed</a>," which features a visceral, distorted voice sample that Kennedy says kick-started his creativity at a time when he felt stuck. </p> <p>Pressures have changed considerably for Kennedy since his busking days. Now headlining in front of ecstatic crowds and racking up millions of Spotify streams, the singer faces the weight of success rather than the frustration of chasing it. He's working on it everyday. </p> <p>"I guess it's mainly pressure I've put on myself," he says. "The very act of overthinking and that sort of thing is just counterproductive instantly and you kind of squash your own work and sort of stem that natural thought process. So I struggled with it for a bit." </p> <p>In a conversation with NPR's <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/186026737/ailsa-chang">Ailsa Chang</a>, Kennedy talks about growing up in Ireland, his newfound fame and his dedication to the craft.

Returns' And Writing His Way Onstage <p>Create and star in a blockbuster hip-hop musical, and you get to do pretty much anything you want. For <a href="https://www.npr.org/artists/508048614/lin-manuel-miranda">Lin-Manuel Miranda</a>, the playwright and composer behind <em>Hamilton </em>and <em>In the Heights, </em>that means starring in the sequel to a hallowed Disney classic.</p> <p>In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3jsfXDZLIY">Mary Poppins Returns</a>, Miranda takes on the role of Jack the lamplighter — an apprentice to Bert, the character immortalized by <a href="https://www.npr.org/tags/136247543/dick-van-dyke">Dick Van Dyke</a> in the original 1964 film. Though he is best-known for his auteur work, Miranda says it was his dream to be offered a part in someone else's musical.</p> <p>"It's the fruit of the harvest," Miranda says. "I started writing musicals because I desperately wanted a life in musical theater. I don't have the ballet chops to pull off Paul in <em>A Chorus Line</em> or Bernardo [in <em>West Side Story</em>] — and if you're a Puerto Rican dude, that's what you get in the canon."</p> <p>Miranda spoke with NPR's Audie Cornish about finding his place in a new <em>Mary Poppins</em> universe and why the involvement of director Rob Marshall is the No. 1 reason he said yes to the role. Hear the radio version at the audio link and read on for an edited transcript.</p> <p><em>This interview has been edited for length and clarity</em>.</p> <p><hr /></p> <p><strong>Audie Cornish: I was reading that your favorite song from the original Mary Poppins movie — maybe not favorite, maybe you have a mixed relationship with it — is "</strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHrRxQVUFN4"><strong>Feed the Birds</strong></a><strong>."</strong></p> <p><strong>Lin-Manuel Miranda:</strong> <em>[Laughing] </em>"Openly hostile" is probably my relationship to it as a child.</p> <p><strong>I mean, that's a little strong.</strong></p> <p>Yeah, no. I just found it <em>so </em>sad. The notion of this bird lady, who cares for these birds and sits on the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral, I couldn't bear it as a child — it was too much for me. And so, I only saw the first two-thirds of the movie many times as a kid: As soon as "Feed the Birds" came on, I would turn it off. Such was VHS technology.</p> <p>If it has an equivalent in this movie — not so much that I would turn off the movie — there's a beautiful song in our film called "Where the Lost Things Go." Mary Poppins is singing to these children — they've lost their mother the year before. And she sings about it in such a smart Scott Whitman lyric, because it's about loss and it's about grief, but it's also in a way that a child can understand and is not condescending, it doesn't talk down, doesn't baby-talk. It's just really beautiful. If I were a kid at the time, I probably would've fallen apart at it. </p> <p><strong>Your character offers a kind of path of joy and advice out of that mood. I'm thinking of a song like "Trip a Little Light Fantastic."</strong></p> <p>That's sort of Jack's MO, is that he sees the light in any situation. He looks for the bright side, the hope, even in a dark time or in a dark place, and it's a lovely sentiment. It's also eight minutes of nonstop dancing. It was one of the last numbers we shot, and we basically spent the entire movie shoot rehearsing for it.</p> <p><strong>The work shows! At a certain point, you see bike tricks, and maybe parkour? I was like, "Oh my God, this just exploded into a huge Broadway thing." </strong></p> <p>Totally. And Rob is really the biggest reason I said yes to this, after <em>Hamilton</em>. I wanted to see how one of the best directors of modern musicals does what he does.</p> <p><strong>After the kind of success that you've had, especially as a young person, how does it affect your aspirations? Do you want to make another big, huge, influential thing? It just feels like an astronaut who has already been to the moon.</strong></p> <p>You say that like I set out to make a big, huge, influential thing.</p> <p><strong>But once you have, and you're having brunch with Cher, you have to figure out what to do next. I don't know what's on that list.</strong></p> <p>It's funny. I think that I'm everywhere and I'm nowhere, right? Because we all still, no matter where we are in life, we struggle with balancing our family and our careers, and the things we want to do with the things we must do. I feel very lucky that I'm pursuing projects I'm passionate about. I don't have to write lyrics for campaign jingles for my dad anymore. I don't have to do anything for the money. And I still know I cannot control the success or failure of a creative endeavor. So I go into these experiences just hoping to learn as much as I can. The rest of it the world does what it does. I take my kid to school in the morning, and try to be a good husband, and a good father and a good son. </p> <p><strong>And the kids don't care — in a good way.</strong></p> <p>Right, right. The kids want to make sure that the yogurt they like is in the fridge. <div class="fullattribution">Copyright 2018 NPR.
