OBAMA TO INSIST Petraeus Resigns at C.I.A.;

ON TAX INCREASE
FOR THE WEALTHY
CITES VOICE OF VOTERS
Says Compromise Still
Possible in Averting
Fiscal Crisis
By HELENE COOPER
and JONATHAN WEISMAN
WASHINGTON — President
Obama said Friday that he would
insist that tax increases on afflu-
ent Americans be part of any
agreement to avoid a year-end
fiscal crisis, setting up a possible
confrontation with Congressional
Republicans who say they will
oppose a rise in tax rates for the
rich.
In his first remarks from the
White House since his re-elec-
tion, Mr. Obama made it clear
that he believed his victory had
validated his relentless campaign
call for wealthier Americans to
pay more and that he expected
Republicans to heed that mes-
sage.
“I just want to point out this
was a central question during the
election,” he said in brief remarks
in the East Room. “It was debat-
ed over and over again. And on
Tuesday night, we found out that
the majority of Americans agree
with my approach.”
Mr. Obama said he had invited
Congressional leaders to the
White House next week to begin
talks as they return for a lame-
duck session of Congress. He said
he was willing to make some con-
cessions as long as the final fiscal
bargain was properly balanced
between new tax revenue and
spending cuts.
“I’m not wedded to every de-
tail of my plan,” Mr. Obama said.
“I’m open to compromise.”
At the same time, he encour-
aged Congress to quickly pass an
extension of the existing lower
rates for those making under
$250,000 even while the broader
negotiations take place.
“While there may be disagree-
ment in Congress over whether
or not to raise taxes on folks mak-
ing over $250,000 a year, nobody
— not Republicans, not Demo-
crats — want taxes to go up for

Christian Right
Failed to Sway
Voters on Issues
By LAURIE GOODSTEIN
Christian conservatives, for
more than two decades a pivotal
force in American politics, are
grappling with Election Day re-
sults that repudiated their influ-
ence and suggested that the cul-
tural tide — especially on gay is-
sues — has shifted against them.
They are reeling not only from
the loss of the presidency, but
from what many of them see as a
rejection of their agenda. They
lost fights against same-sex mar-
riage in all four states where it
was on the ballot, and saw anti-
abortion-rights Senate candi-
dates defeated and two states
vote to legalize marijuana for rec-
reational use.
It is not as though they did not
put up a fight; they went all out
as never before: The Rev. Billy
Graham dropped any pretense of
nonpartisanship and all but en-
dorsed Mitt Romney for presi-
dent. Roman Catholic bishops de-
nounced President Obama’s pol-
icies as a threat to life, religious
liberty and the traditional nucle-
ar family. Ralph Reed’s Faith and
Hurricane Sandy threw part of a Boardwalk against Promenade Rehabilitation and Health Care
Center in Rockaway Park, Queens. Many relatives are still looking for Promenade patients.
Nursing Home Is Faulted Over Care After Storm
By MICHAEL POWELL
and SHERI FINK
Hurricane Sandy announced
itself by tossing a section of
Boardwalk against the Prome-
nade nursing home in Rockaway
Park, Queens, blowing out its
windows and sending waves
washing through the first floor.
On the sixth floor, Kevin P.
Johnson, 58, who has a crippling
brain disease, saw his television
flicker off. “I thought to myself,
‘That’s O.K., the backup genera-
tor will kick in,’” he said.
It did not. Promenade’s gener-
ator was on the ground floor,
which quickly filled with swirling
Atlantic brine at high tide on Oct.
29. As waves slammed against
the building for hours, patients
remained inside in the dark,
Behind New York Gas Lines,
Warnings and Crossed Fingers
This article is by David W.
Chen, Winnie Hu and Clifford
Krauss.
The return of 1970s-era gas
lines to the five boroughs of New
York City was not the result of a
single miscalculation, but a com-
bination of missed opportunities,
ignored warnings and a lack of
decisiveness by city and state of-
ficials that produced a deepening
crisis and a sense of frustration.
Even before Hurricane Sandy
came ashore, city and state offi-
cials moved quickly to shut down
a sprawling transit system and
order mass evacuations. But
heading off a potential gas short-
age seemed to be a low priority, if
growing steadily more hungry
and cold.
The kitchen had flooded, and
the owners had not stocked
enough food, staff members say.
Amid the worst hurricane to
hit New York City in nearly 80
years, the home, the Promenade
Rehabilitation and Health Care
Center, failed to provide the most
basic care to its patients, accord-
ing to interviews with five em-
ployees, federal, city and hospital
officials, and shelter directors.
Although nursing home offi-
cials say they cannot be blamed
for what happened, the State
Health Department has opened
an investigation into Prome-
nade’s actions.
Cold, thirst, fear: The situation
grew so dire that the next
evening, as the vestiges of the
storm blew across the peninsula,
When confronted with gas
lines that were growing expo-
nentially and reports of fuel ter-
minals in disrepair, city and state
officials who huddled with Gov.
Andrew M. Cuomo on Sunday
were unable to come to a decision
to ration gas, as New Jersey had
done the previous day.
Instead, these officials seemed
to cross their fingers that some-
how the gas supply would im-
prove and that they would be
able to avoid resurrecting un-
pleasant memories of the 1970s.
Mr. Cuomo was said to be espe-
cially lukewarm, according to
several people who were present
at or were briefed on the dis-
cussion. Mayor Michael R.
CHANG W. LEE/THE NEW YORK TIMES
ambulances arrived, evacuated
the nearly 200 patients over sev-
eral hours and deposited them in
emergency shelters in the city.
In most cases, no Promenade
staff member accompanied the
patients, and many patients trav-
eled without their medical
records. Both are violations of
state regulations.
Some family members are still
desperately searching for their
loved ones, with no help from
Promenade, at 140 Beach 114th
Street. These patients now live in
various emergency shelters or
have landed in cots and beds in
hospitals and nursing homes
across the region.

F.B.I. Discovered an Affair
Disclosure Raises Questions About Tenure
of General as Chief of Spy Agency
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
WASHINGTON — David H.
Petraeus, the director of the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency and one
of America’s most decorated
four-star generals, resigned on
Friday after an F.B.I. investiga-
tion uncovered evidence that he
had been involved in an extra-
marital affair.
Mr. Petraeus issued a state-
ment acknowledging the affair
after President Obama accepted
his resignation and it was an-
nounced by the C.I.A. The dis-
closure ended a triumphant re-
election week for the president
with an unfolding scandal.
Government officials said that
the F.B.I. began an investigation
into a “potential criminal matter”
several months ago that was not
focused on Mr. Petraeus. In the
course of their inquiry into
whether a computer used by Mr.
Petraeus had been compromised,
agents discovered evidence of
the relationship as well as other
security concerns. About two
weeks ago, F.B.I. agents met with
Mr. Petraeus to discuss the in-
vestigation.
Administration and Congres-
sional officials identified the
woman as Paula Broadwell, the
co-author of a biography of Mr.
Petraeus. Her book, “All In: The
Education of General David Pe-
traeus,” was published this year.

preme Court announced on Fri-

signature legacies of the civil
rights movement.
Three years ago, the court sig-
naled that part of the law may no
longer be needed, and the law’s
challengers said the re-election of
the nation’s first black president
is proof that the nation has
moved beyond the racial divi-
sions that gave rise to efforts to
protect the integrity of elections
in the South.
The law “is stuck in a Jim
Crow-era time warp,” said Ed-
ward P. Blum, director of the
Project on Fair Representation, a
small legal foundation that
helped organize the suit.

er hand, pointed to the role the

Ms. Broadwell, a graduate of

in Afghanistan, interviewing him
for her book,

Politicians Who Reject Labels Based on Religion
Yes, a victory for Mitt Romney
on Tuesday would have been the
ultimate sign that Americans ac-

evangelical world,

ed polygamous
ways, has come to
seem pretty normal.
But the truth is that in Wash-
ington, anyway, it has been a long
time since Mormons lacked clout.
The Senate majority leader, Har-
ry Reid of Nevada, is a Mormon;
there have been Mormon mem-
bers of the cabinet; and there are
15 Mormons in Congress. A Presi-
dent Romney would have been
the cherry on top, but Mormons
already have plenty of ice cream.
For the real underdog story in
the elections this year, you have
to look further out on the margins
of popular respectability. Consid-
er the half-Hindu yoga practition-
er just elected to Congress from
Hawaii. Or the new Buddhist sen-
ator. Or the two religiously unaf-
filiated women headed for the
House and the Senate.
These politicians constitute an
unusual mini-caucus, whose
members are unusual not for
their religion, precisely, but for
the fluid and abstract terms they
use to talk about it — when they
choose to talk about it, that is.
Mormon or Orthodox Jewish pol-
iticians have succeeded before,
but as the price of admission they
have been forced to explain their
faith. This new bunch is just say-

Christian Right Failed to Sway Voters on the Issues
From Page A1
and contacted more homes by
mail and phone than ever before.
“Millions of American evan-
gelicals are absolutely shocked
by not just the presidential elec-
tion, but by the entire avalanche
of results that came in,” R. Albert
Mohler Jr., president of the
Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, in Louisville, Ky., said
in an interview. “It’s not that our
message — we think abortion is
wrong, we think same-sex mar-
riage is wrong — didn’t get out. It
did get out.
“It’s that the entire moral land-
scape has changed,” he said. “An
increasingly secularized America
understands our positions, and
has rejected them.”
Conservative Christian leaders
said that they would intensify
their efforts to make their case,
but were just beginning to dis-
cuss how to proceed. “We’re not
going away, we just need to recal-
ibrate,” said Bob Vander Plaats,
president and chief executive of
The Family Leader, an evangeli-
cal organization in Iowa.
The election results are just
one indication of larger trends in
American religion that Christian
conservatives are still digesting,
political analysts say. Americans
who have no religious affiliation
— pollsters call them the “nones”
— are now about one-fifth of the
population over all, according to
a study released last month by
the Pew Forum on Religion and
Public Life.
The younger generation is
even less religious: about one-
third of Americans ages 18 to 22
say they are either atheists, ag-
nostics or nothing in particular.
Americans who are secular are
far more likely to vote for liberal
candidates and for same-sex
marriage. Seventy percent of
those who said they had no reli-
gion voted for Mr. Obama, ac-
cording to exit polls conducted by
Edison Research.
“This election signaled the last
where a white Christian strategy
is workable,” said Robert P.
Jones, chief executive of the Pub-
lic Religion Research Institute, a
nonprofit, nonpartisan research
and education organization based
in Washington.
“Barack Obama’s coalition was
less than 4 in 10 white Christian,”
Dr. Jones said. “He made up for
that with not only overwhelming
support from the African-Ameri-
can and Latino community, but
also with the support of the reli-
giously unaffiliated.”
In interviews, conservative
Christian leaders pointed to other
factors that may have blunted
their impact in this election: they
were outspent by gay rights ad-
vocates in the states where mar-
riage was on the ballot; com-
ments on rape by the Senate can-
didates Todd Akin in Missouri
and Richard E. Mourdock in Indi-
ana were ridiculed nationwide
and alienated women; and they
never trusted Mr. Romney as a
reliably conservative voice on so-
cial issues.
However, they acknowledge
that they are losing ground. The
evangelical share of the popula-
tion is both declining and gray-
ing, studies show. Large
churches like the Southern Bap-
tist Convention and the Assem-
blies of God, which have provided
an organizing base for the Chris-
ing, so to speak, “Don’t worry
about it.”
Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat and
an Iraq war veteran who won a
seat in the House from Hawaii, is
the daughter of a Hindu mother
and a Roman Catholic father. She

Representative Tammy Bald-
win of Wisconsin, just elected to
the Senate, also does not discuss
her religiosity. John Kraus, a
spokesman for Ms. Baldwin, said
that while she was baptized Epis-
copalian, that term no longer de-

Ms. Sinema is often described as
a nontheist — and that suits the
activists just fine. A blogger for

was still dispirited by the loss of

was “emboldened” by the appar-

the blogger, Chris Lombardi,
wrote, “was not used to slander
her as un-American or suggest
that she was unfit for office.”

helped to propel President
George W. Bush to re-election.
During the Republican primaries,
some commentators said that Mr.

“believes that a secular approach

unaffiliated — many people unaf-

for example, still call themselves
Christians. It is that when these
politicians are asked to talk about
their religion, familiar language
fails them.

Thousands of ultraconservative Salafis protested in Tahrir Square in Cairo on Friday, angry that the draft constitution did not go far enough to enshrine Islamic law.
A Vague Role for Religion in Egyptian Draft Constitution
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK
CAIRO — After months of
fierce debate over the place of Is-
lam in government, the assembly
drafting a new constitution for
Egypt has settled on a compro-
mise that opens the door to more
religion in governance but main-
ly guarantees that the issue will
continue to roil politics, the Par-
liament and the courts for many
years to come.
The compromise would insert
religion more deeply into the leg-
islative and judicial process by
elaborating new guidelines to in-
terpret “the principles of Islamic
law” that the old Constitution had
recognized, at least nominally, as
the main source of Egyptian
legislation.
But the new constitution would
also leave the final authority to
apply those principles with the
elected Parliament and civil
courts, making the long-term
consequences hard to foresee.
Little is expected to change un-
der the current courts and Parlia-
ment — dominated by Islamists
who mostly favor a relatively
flexible or gradual approach to
adopting Islamic law — but the
potential long-term conse-
quences are already a subject of
impassioned debate.
If literal-minded ultraconser-
vatives — known as Salafis and
who currently hold about a quar-
ter of the seats in Parliament —
gain more influence in the legisla-
ture and eventually the courts,
they could someday use the pro-
visions to try to impose a strict
interpretation of Islamic law. If
Islamists gain more power across
the Parliament, courts and reli-
gious institutions, “I would see a
real possibility for evolutionary
change,” said Nathan J. Brown,
an expert on Egyptian law at
George Washington University.
But by keeping power in the
hands of elected officials and civil
courts, the agreement should
also dispel, for now, the fears
here and in the West that Egypt
might follow the path of Iran’s
1979 revolution toward a theoc-

Life in Prison Suite Doesn’t Agree With a Mass Killer
By SCOTT SAYARE
Anders Behring Breivik would
like butter, a new pen, more com-
fortable handcuffs and a view.
Mr. Breivik, the Norwegian ex-
tremist convicted of the coldly
premeditated murders of 77 peo-
ple in 2011, is serving a 21-year
sentence in a maximum-security
prison outside Oslo. He is not sat-
isfied with the accommodations,
though: his three-cell suite with a
television and exercise equip-
ment, lodgings commensurate
with Norway’s typically humane
treatment of its convicts.
Addressing penal officials in a
27-page letter obtained by the
Norwegian newspaper Verdens
Gang and confirmed by his law-
yer, Mr. Breivik bemoaned the
“800” strip searches he has un-
dergone, for instance. Not one of
them has shown him to be hold-
racy where religious leaders
have the final say on all matters
of state. And liberal delegates
who signed onto the deal noted
that the guidelines were broad

for debate over just what Islamic

“The more interpretation, the
better off we are,” said Manar el-
Shorbagy, a political scientist at
the American University in Cairo

the deal. “You are no longer

terpretation — the Salafis’ or

tocks,” he noted.
He would enjoy more social in-
teraction, according to the letter,
which says he is alone with his
thoughts for “23 hours and 55
minutes” on a typical day and
speaks only with his guards.
“Such treatment isn’t human,”
said a lawyer for Mr. Breivik,
Tord Jordet, according to Agence
France-Presse.
Mr. Breivik is denied a comput-
er or Internet access to prevent
him from spreading his ideology
of racial hatred, officials have
said.

As the largest Arab state and
the original home of the interna-
tional Muslim Brotherhood,
Egypt has become a bellwether
for Islamist political movements
around the region after the Arab
Spring. In Tunisia, the site of the
first uprising, the dominant Is-
lamist party has already agreed
on a more liberal compromise, re-
taining a clause in its Constitu-
tion declaring that Islam is the
state religion but omitting any
reference to Islamic law.
Although many Muslim-major-
ity countries acknowledge Islam
in their charters, Egypt would be-
come the first Arab state to seek
to meld democracy with the prin-
ciples of Islamic law, or Shariah.
The full terms of the deal have
not been released, but several lib-
erals and Islamists involved in
the negotiations described its de-
tails. Delegates on both sides
called the deal a victory. Younis
Makhyoun, a Salafi leader in the
constitutional assembly who
signed the deal, argued that it
would “prevent random people

skin cream in his quarters, which
are drab and without a view, he
wrote. Switches for his lights and
television are outside his suite of

cording to news media reports.
Furthermore, he wrote, his
phone calls and mail are unfairly
censored. “His freedom of speech
is being violated,” Mr. Jordet
said.
Only correspondence from
“New Testament Christians and
other people who do not like me”
has reached him in recent
months, Mr. Breivik wrote.

of thought and claiming they’re
part of Shariah.”
Echoing the liberals’ fears, Mr.
Makhyoun suggested that some-
day the provisions might even be
used for strict enforcement of pu-
ritanical Islamic moral codes, in-
cluding stoning adulterers or cut-
ting off the hands of thieves.
But outside the assembly,
many on both sides denounced
the deal as a sellout. On Friday,
thousands of Salafis filled Tahrir
Square to protest that the drafts
did not go far enough.
While liberals in the assembly
argued that they had beaten back
Salafi proposals for a council of
religious scholars that could
strike down legislation, many ac-
tivists outside were angry that
the constitution appeared for the
first time to take Shariah so seri-
ously. “The road to Afghanistan,”
said Malek Adly, a liberal activist.
The old Constitution had recog-
nized the “principles of Islamic
law” after a 1980 revision, al-
though its texts hardly mattered
under the old secular autocracy.

Letters aside, Mr. Breivik
would like to pursue his literary
ambitions while in prison, he
said, but those aspirations are be-
ing thwarted by the stab-resist-
ant safety pen he has been pro-
vided, “a nightmare of a tool”
that causes his hand to cramp.
The pen is “an almost indescrib-
able manifestation of sadism,” he
wrote, though presumably it did
not prevent him from composing
his lengthy letter of complaint.
A prison spokeswoman said
Mr. Breivik was given an electric
typewriter on Friday. It was not
given in response to Mr. Breivik’s
letter, the spokeswoman said, ac-
cording to The Associated Press.
“I highly doubt that there are

lamic law but also a debate over
what it should mean, with new Is-
lamist parties ranging from ultra-
conservative to avowedly liberal.
The Muslim Brotherhood,
which has dominated the elec-
tions since the uprising, argues
that Shariah only “polishes mor-
als, through persuasion and edu-
cation, with no coercion whatso-
ever” as the group’s supreme
guide, Mohamed Badie, said last
week in a statement supporting
the deal. “Shariah totally rejects
the concept of a theocracy.”
Straining to present some sem-
blance of consensus, Brother-
hood leaders helped bring togeth-
er representatives of the liberal
and Salafi camps, along with offi-
cials from Egypt’s Coptic Church,
for at least three six-hour negoti-
ating sessions before they signed
the compromise.
The agreement stipulates that
in personal matters Christians
and Jews are free to follow their
own religious teachings. And it
provides that on questions relat-
ed to Islamic law, the Parliament
or the courts can seek the non-
binding advice of scholars at Al
Azhar, the center of Sunni Mus-
lim scholarship set to become in-
dependent of state control.
In the end, scholars said, the
real impact of the new provision
— defining “principles of Shari-
ah” according to established Sun-
ni Muslim thought — would be to
move the battle over the applica-
tion of Islamic law further into
the terrain of religious scholar-
ship.
Conservatives feel more com-
fortable there, said Clark Lom-
bardi, a professor at the Universi-
ty of Washington Law School
who studies the role of Islamic
law in the legal systems. But “lib-
eral Islamists” in Egypt and else-
where are also becoming increas-
ingly effective at building their
own cases on the basis of Shariah
for women’s rights or other
causes.

the toughest issues on the agen-

Many Chinese economists ar-
gue that the biggest conglomer-

leading oil and telecommunica-

large that they swallow a large
part of bank lending, crowd out
more creative small companies
and line the pockets of the politi-

choke the country’s economic
growth and even damage its po-

Defense Minister Confirms
Iran Fired on U.S. Drone
By THOMAS ERDBRINK
and RICK GLADSTONE
TEHRAN — Iran’s defense
minister on Friday confirmed
that Iranian warplanes had fired
shots at an American drone last
week, but said that they had tak-
en the action after the unmanned
aircraft had entered Iranian air-
space.
The assertions by the defense
minister, Brig. Gen. Ahmad Vahi-
di, were the first acknowledg-
ment from Iran that the episode
had occurred. He spoke less than
24 hours after the Pentagon first
disclosed the shooting, involving
two Iranian jet fighters and the
American aircraft, a Predator
surveillance drone, during what
American officials described as a
routine surveillance mission on
Nov. 1 in international airspace
over the Persian Gulf.
It was the first time that Irani-
an aircraft had been known to
fire at an American drone, one of
the many ways that the United
States has sought to monitor de-
velopments in Iran over more
than three decades of estrange-
ment between the two countries.
The United States said it had pro-
tested the shooting via the Amer-
ican interests section at the Swiss
Embassy in Tehran, and had
warned the Iranians that the
drone flights would continue.
Political risk analysts noted
that the firing had taken place
days before it was clear whether
the American elections would be
won by President Obama or his
Republican challenger, Mitt Rom-
ney, who was far more hawkish
than Mr. Obama in his public crit-
icism of Iran during the cam-
paign. Some said the episode

nians as warning message re-
gardless of the outcome of the
election. “The early November
incident was probably an attempt
by Iran to intimidate the next
U.S. administration and gain lev-
erage in future diplomacy,” said
Cliff Kupchan, an Iran specialist
at the Eurasia Group, a consult-
ing firm in Washington.
American officials said the
Predator had been flying 16 nau-
tical miles off the Iranian coast.
General Vahidi asserted the epi-
sode took place in Iranian air-
space but did not specify where.
General Vahidi’s version of
events also differed with the Pen-
tagon’s in another way: He said
the two Iranian planes, which the
Pentagon had identified as Rus-
sian-made Su-25 jets known as
Frogfoots, belonged to the Irani-
an Air Force. The Americans had
said the planes were under the
command of the Islamic Revolu-
tionary Guards Corps, which has
a history of more aggressive be-
havior than the conventional air
force and navy.

confrontations with the West, in

Japan Aims to Revise Security Pact With U.S.
By MARTIN FACKLER
TOKYO — Japan’s defense
minister, Satoshi Morimoto, said
Friday that he wanted to revise
his nation’s security alliance with
the United States to place more
emphasis on the threat from Chi-
na to islands at the center of a
territorial dispute.
Mr. Morimoto said he wanted
to update a set of guidelines that
govern how the two allies’ mili-
taries would cooperate during a
crisis to include the potential for
a maritime clash with China. Ten-
sions between Japan and China
have risen in recent months over
the contested islands in the East
China Sea known as the Senkaku
in Japan and Diaoyu in China.
In a sign of the emotions con-
jured by the territorial dispute,
China has kept up the pressure
on Japan by sending paramilitary
ships into waters around the is-
lands, which are controlled by the
Japanese but also claimed by
China and Taiwan. On Friday, Ja-
pan’s Coast Guard said Chinese
surveillance ships had sailed into
Japanese-claimed waters near
the islands for the 21st consec-
utive day.
Mr. Morimoto did not specify
exactly what changes he would
seek in the agreement. He told
reporters that he had already in-
formed the United States of Ja-
pan’s desire to revisit the guide-
lines, and on Friday he sent the
vice minister of defense, Akihisa
Nagashima, to Washington for
talks.
Mr. Morimoto noted that the
weeks before President Mah-
moud Ahmadinejad had them re-
leased, in what he called a mag-
nanimous gesture of Iranian
compassion.
General Vahidi, whose account
of the drone episode was report-
ed by the Iranian Labor News
Agency and other media outlets,
said that last week an unidenti-
fied plane had entered Iranian
airspace over its territory in the
Persian Gulf. He said the intruder
had been “forced to escape,” after
action by Iran’s Air Force.
It is unclear why Iranian offi-
cials had kept the episode a se-
cret. It also is unclear, from the
Iranian account, whether the
warplanes had sought to down
the drone and missed, or had
fired warning shots.
A lawmaker, Mohammad Saleh
Jokar, a member of the National
Security and Foreign Policy Com-
mittee of Iran’s Parliament, also
said the American aircraft had
trespassed. “Early last week, a
U.S. drone which had violated
Iran’s airspace received a deci-
sive response by the armed
forces that were stationed in the
region,” he said in a Friday in-
terview with the Young Journal-
ist Club, a semiofficial Iranian
news agency. He said the drone
had “entered our country’s air-
space with an aim to gather in-
formation because there is no
other justification.”
The Predator’s sensor technol-
ogy is so sophisticated that it
could have monitored activities
in Iran from the distance cited by
the Pentagon officials.
The Iranian firing on the air-
craft had been completely legal,
Mr. Jokar said. “Any violation
against Iran’s airspace, territori-
al waters and land will receive a

republic of Iran,” he said.
Two commanders also gave in-
terviews on Friday emphasizing
Iran’s right to defend itself. “De-
fenders of the Islamic republic of
Iran will give a decisive response
to any air, land and naval at-
tacks,” the deputy commander of
Iran’s armed forces, Massoud
Jazayeri, told the Fars News
Agency, which is headed by a for-
mer officer of the Revolutionary
Guards. “If any foreign flying ob-
jects enter our country’s air-
space, the armed forces will con-
front them,” he said.
Another officer, the command-
er of the Khatam al-Anbiya Air
Defense Base, told the state Is-
lamic Republic News Agency
that his forces were able to coun-
ter “all threats.”
A possible confrontation in the
Persian Gulf could present new
obstacles in efforts to make
progress on resolving the dispute
over Iran’s nuclear program, the
most intractable issue in Iran’s
difficult relations with the West.
But in what appeared to be a sign
of possible progress, the Interna-
tional Atomic Energy Agency an-
nounced Friday that it was re-
suming negotiations with Iran re-
garding inspector access to sen-
sitive Iranian sites, aimed at re-
solving questions about whether
Iran had engaged in nuclear
weapons development work.
The agency said in an an-
nouncement that it was sending
negotiators to Tehran on Dec. 13,
the first such meeting since Au-
gust. An agency spokeswoman,
Gill Tudor, said in an e-mail to
news agencies that the purpose
of the talks was “to conclude the
structured approach to resolving
outstanding issues related to
Iran’s nuclear program.”
last time the United States and
Japan changed the guidelines
was in 1997, in response to ten-
sions with North Korea over its
nuclear program.

Gerasimov will replace Gen. Nikolai Makarov,
who has served as chief of the general staff
since 2008. The move is not wholly unexpect-
ed, since the new defense minister, Sergei K.
Shoigu, has the right to install his own team in
top military posts. Still, the shuffle has shed
light on simmering disagreements within the
military, which is to receive an infusion of
about $634 billion for new weaponry. Mr.
Putin appears to be moving to calm resistance
to changes carried out by the departing de-
fense minister, Anatoly E. Serdyukov, who
had alienated many in the military with deep
staffing cuts intended to streamline and up-
date Russia’s vast conventional forces.

Russia: Protester Sentenced
The first of 19 defendants being prosecuted
for taking part in a protest against the Rus-
sian leader Vladimir V. Putin last May in Mos-
cow was sentenced Friday to four and a half
years in a prison colony for fighting with the
police. The defendant, Maksim Luzyanin, 36,
the owner of a fitness club, was captured on
film as he grappled with a uniformed riot po-
lice officer, his hands gripping the officer’s
neck. The sentence was a tough penalty for a
brief melee that resulted in no serious injuries
— especially considering that Mr. Luzyanin
cooperated with prosecutors — and was an
unmistakable warning to those considering
similar protests. None of the other 18 defend-
ants decided to plead guilty, and they could
receive longer prison terms if convicted. The

rally on May 6, on the eve of Mr. Putin’s inau-
guration, was peaceful until a crowd in the

Politkovskaya’s critical reporting. All other
potential reasons, like business conflicts or a
domestic dispute, were ruled out, he told the
daily newspaper Kommersant. The official in-
vestigation into the death was closed last
month without identifying the person who or-
dered the killing, although five people sus-

believed to be the gunman, are expected to go

France: A Day for a War’s Victims
The Senate on Thursday voted to designate
March 19 as a national day of remembrance
for the French and Algerian victims of the Al-
gerian war of independence from 1954 to 1962.
The measure was originally adopted in 2002
by the lower house of Parliament before being
shelved for a decade. President François Hol-
lande, who plans to visit Algeria in December,
is hoping to gain Algerian backing for an Afri-
can-led military intervention in northern
Mali, which has been overrun by armed Is-
lamist groups. In October, Mr. Hollande be-
came the first French president to officially
acknowledge that scores of Algerian inde-
pendence protesters were killed by the
French police at a rally in Paris in 1961. March
19 was selected as the day of remembrance
because it was the date of the cease-fire that
ended the fighting in 1962. SCOTT SAYARE
The United States and Israel have opposed
the Palestinian plans to gain international
recognition for a state and to upgrade their
United Nations status. The draft resolution
“reaffirms the right of the Palestinian people
to self-determination and to independence in
their State of Palestine on the basis of the
pre-1967 borders,” the Palestinian official said.
He said it also expressed “the urgent need for
the resumption and acceleration of negotia-

and stated that the borders of a Palestinian
state were “to be determined” through nego-
tiations. ISABEL KERSHNER

In One Day, 11,000 Flee Syria as Violence and Hardship Worsen, Alarming Turkey
By RICK GLADSTONE
and NEIL MacFARQUHAR
The United Nations reported
that 11,000 Syrians fled to neigh-
boring countries on Friday, the
vast majority clambering for
safety over the Turkish border, in
one of the largest single-day tor-
rents of refugees since the Syrian
conflict began. It came as may-
hem and deprivations were wors-
ening inside the country, its pres-
ident more determined than ever
to stay and his fractious enemies
still politically paralyzed.
United Nations refugee agency
officials said 9,000 of the fleeing
Syrians, many of them drenched
from a cold rain, went to Turkey.
The flow alarmed Turkish offi-
cials and led their prime minister,
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to vent
bitterly at the five permanent
members of the Security Council
for what he called their failure to
respond decisively to the crisis
after nearly 20 months.
“The world cannot be left to
what the five permanent mem-
bers have to say,” Mr. Erdogan
told a conference in Indonesia.
“If we leave it to the five perma-
nent members, humanity will
continue to bleed.”
Panos Moumtzis, the United
Nations refugee agency official
coordinating the response, told
reporters in Geneva, where the
agency is based, that the latest
surge included 1,000 Syrians who
reached Lebanon and 1,000 who
reached Jordan, bringing the
number of registered refugees to
more than 408,000 in Turkey, Jor-
dan, Lebanon and Iraq. Agency REUTERS

officials said a few weeks ago
they had anticipated that more
than 700,000 Syrian refugees
would be living in these countries
by year’s end, straining their re-
sources just as the cold Middle
East winter intensifies.
The agency’s figures do not in-
clude Syrians who have fled with-
out registering, a number be-
lieved to be in the tens of thou-
sands in Jordan alone.
Turkish officials said more
than half the Syrians who fled
into Turkey on Friday had been
seeking to escape combat be-
tween insurgents and loyalist
forces near Ras al-Ain, a north-
east border town where fighting
has raged for days.
The arrivals who crossed the
Turkish border at Reyhanli in Ha-
tay Province included 26 Syrian
Army defectors, with 2 generals
and 11 colonels among them, the
semiofficial Anatolian News
Agency of Turkey reported.

Syrians ran from Ras al-Ain, a northeastern Syrian town that has been the scene of heavy fighting, across the border into Ceylanpinar, Turkey, on Friday.
Today, a government-run news
service. In portions of the in-
terview that were first released
Thursday, Mr. Assad said that he
intended to remain in Syria and
warned that any foreign invasion
would be a costly catastrophe.
Russia has been a steady defend-
er of Mr. Assad.
In the complete version re-
leased Friday, Mr. Assad denied
that Syria was consumed in a civ-
il war and insisted that his forces
could “finish everything” within
weeks if foreign suppliers
stopped sending weapons to the
insurgents, whom he universally
categorizes as terrorists.
Mr. Assad also denied that Syr-
ian forces had shelled targets in
Turkey and accused Mr. Erdogan
— a former friend and now one of
Mr. Assad’s biggest critics — of
coveting Syrian territory. “He
personally thinks that he is the
new sultan of the Ottomans and
he can control the region as it
was during the Ottoman Empire
under a new umbrella,” Mr. As-
sad said.
The surge in refugees occurred
as agencies of the United Nations
and other groups met donor gov-
ernments in Geneva to report on
the crisis and seek greater finan-
cial support for the emergency
fund for Syrian refugees, which
has received only one-third of its
intended goal of $488 million.
“There is more violence, more
humanitarian suffering, more
displacement and more losses,”
said Radhouane Nouicer, the ref-
ugee agency’s coordinator based
in Damascus.
The United Nations has also
estimated that more than 2.5 mil-
lion people inside Syria need hu-
manitarian assistance, including
1.2 million displaced by the con-
flict. John Ging, the director of
operations for the United Nations
Office for the Coordination of Hu-
manitarian Affairs, said in an in-
terview with Al Jazeera that four
million Syrians may need help in
the country by early next year.
“It’s just getting a lot worse very
rapidly for the ordinary people,”
Mr. Ging said.
The United States will provide
$34 million in additional aid to
Syrians affected by conflict,
bringing the total provided by the
United States to more than $165
million, the American diplomatic
mission in Geneva said in an an-
nouncement distributed at the
donor meeting.
Groups that track the violence
reported widespread attacks, in-
cluding the government use of
warplanes, in Damascus suburbs
and other areas on Friday. The
Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights, a group based in Britain
with contacts inside Syria, said at
least 120 people had been killed
nationwide.
In Doha, Qatar, the Syrian Na-
tional Council, an opposition
group in exile, elected a new
president, George Sabra, a vet-
eran leftist dissident and Chris-
tian and an outspoken critic of
Mr. Assad who had spent more
than eight years in prison for his
activism. But it was unclear
whether Mr. Sabra’s new role
would help or hinder efforts to
create a more unified opposition
front at a convention of Syrian
opposition groups under way in
Doha.
Earlier this week Mr. Sabra
criticized an attempt to subsume
the Syrian National Council into a
larger umbrella group, an idea
that has been advanced by Secre-
tary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton. Mrs. Clinton has been in-
creasingly exasperated with the
council’s dysfunction and irrele-
vance because its members are
all exiles with little feel for the
combat raging in their home
country.
Many council members have
suggested that the formation of a
larger umbrella organization
would diminish their role without
any guarantees of further inter-
national funding and other sup-
port for the uprising, which cur-
rently gets nonlethal aid from the
United States. On Thursday and
Friday, representatives of the
Syrian National Council did not
even attend the convention.
“They have a problem that is
paralyzing them,” said Ayman
Abdel Nour, an opposition activ-
ist and former confidant of Mr.
Assad.
The council’s vote for a new
president and new executive
committee caused its own prob-
lems, with at least one organ-
ization and various independent
members quitting over the out-
come. Those leaving the council
said that the election process had
been meant to introduce reforms
that added diversity to the group,
but that instead it had reinforced
the control of the Muslim Broth-
erhood and its allies.
“The council has been one col-
or, which defies logic,” said Rima
Fleihan, a member in exile of the
Local Coordination Committees,
an anti-Assad group that has
sought to document casualties.
“The institution has failed to de-
liver what it promised in terms of
fixing its internal problems.”

Report Outlines Climate Change Perils

Strains for U.S. Military and Intelligence Agencies Are Predicted
By JOHN M. BRODER
WASHINGTON — Climate
change is accelerating, and it will
place unparalleled strains on
American military and intelli-
gence agencies in coming years
by causing ever more disruptive
events around the globe, the na-
tion’s top scientific research
group said in a report issued Fri-
day.
The group, the National Re-
search Council, says in a study
commissioned by the C.I.A. and
other intelligence agencies that
clusters of apparently unrelated
events exacerbated by a warm-
ing climate will create more fre-
quent but unpredictable crises in
water supplies, food markets, en-
ergy supply chains and public
health systems.
Hurricane Sandy provided a
foretaste of what can be expected
more often in the near future, the
report’s lead author, John D.
Steinbruner, said in an interview.
“This is the sort of thing we
were talking about,” said Mr.
Steinbruner, a longtime authority
on national security. “You can de-
bate the specific contribution of
global warming to that storm.
But we’re saying climate ex-
tremes are going to be more fre-
quent, and this was an example
of what they could mean. We’re
also saying it could get a whole
lot worse than that.”
Mr. Steinbruner, the director of
the Center for International and
Security Studies at the Universi-
ty of Maryland, said that humans
are pouring carbon dioxide and
other climate-altering gases into
the atmosphere at a rate never
before seen. “We know there will
have to be major climatic ad-
justments — there’s no uncer-
tainty about that — but we just
don’t know the details,” he said.
“We do know they will be big.”
The study was released 10 days
late: its authors had been sched-
uled to brief intelligence officials
on their findings the day Hurri-
cane Sandy hit the East Coast,
but the federal government was
shut down because of the storm.
Climate-driven crises could
lead to internal instability or in-
ternational conflict and might
force the United States to provide
humanitarian assistance or, in
some cases, military force to pro-
tect vital energy, economic or
other interests, the study said.
The Defense Department has
already taken major steps to plan
for and adapt to climate change
and has spent billions of dollars
to make ships, aircraft and vehi-
cles more fuel-efficient. Nonethe-
less, the 206-page study warns in
A study foresees

unpredictable crises
related to warming.
sometimes bureaucratic lan-
guage, the United States is ill pre-
pared to assess and prepare for
the catastrophes that a heated
planet will produce.
“It is prudent to expect that
over the course of a decade some
climate events — including single
events, conjunctions of events oc-
curring simultaneously or in se-
quence in particular locations,
and events affecting globally in-
tegrated systems that provide for
human well-being — will produce
consequences that exceed the ca-
pacity of the affected societies or
global system to manage and
that have global security implica-
tions serious enough to compel
international response,” the re-
port states.
In other words, states will fail,
large populations subjected to
famine, flood or disease will mi-
grate across international bor-
ders, and national and interna-
tional agencies will not have the
resources to cope.
The report cites the simulta-
neous heat wave in Russia and
floods in Pakistan in the summer
of 2010 as disparate but linked cli-
mate-related events that taxed
those societies.
It also cites the Nile River wa-
tershed as a place where climate-
related conflict over water and
farmland could arise as the com-
bined populations of Egypt, Su-
dan and Ethiopia approach 300
million. South Korea and Saudi
Arabia have purchased fertile
land in the Nile watershed to
produce crops to feed their peo-
ple, but local forces could decide
to seize the crops for their own
use, potentially leading to inter-
national conflict, the report says.
The 18-month study is not the
first such report from govern-
ment agencies or research or-
ganizations to draw a direct link
between climate change and na-
tional security concerns.
The National Intelligence
Council produced a classified na-
tional intelligence estimate on cli-
mate change in 2008 and has is-
sued a number of unclassified re-
ports since then. The Pentagon
and the White House have also
highlighted the role of climate
change in humanitarian crises
and security threats.
The National Research Council
recommends in the new report
that all government agencies im-
prove their ability to monitor the
global climate and assess the
risks to populations and critical
resources around the world.
Yet Mr. Steinbruner said that
as the need for more and better
analysis is growing, government
resources devoted to them are
shrinking. Republicans in Con-
gress objected to the C.I.A.’s cre-
ation of a climate change center
and tried to deny money for it.

Many Chinese Intellectuals Are Silent Amid a Wave of Tibetan Self-Immolations
By ANDREW JACOBS
BEIJING — In a gruesome act
of resistance that has played out
dozens of times in recent months,
six young Tibetans set fire to
themselves this week, shouting
demands for freedom as they
were consumed by flames. On
Friday, for the second day in a
row, thousands of Tibetan stu-
dents took to the streets in the
northwestern Chinese province
of Qinghai denouncing “cultural
genocide” and demanding an end
to heavy-handed police tactics,
exile groups said.
Here in the nation’s capital,
where Communist Party power
brokers are presenting a new
generation of leaders, the outgo-
ing president, Hu Jintao, made no
mention on Thursday of the an-
ger consuming China’s discon-
tented borderlands during his
sprawling address to the nation.
Asked by foreign reporters
about the escalating crisis, dele-
gates to the 18th Party Congress
blamed the Dalai Lama, the ex-
iled spiritual leader, or inelegant-
ly dodged the question altogeth-
er. “Can I not answer that?” one
asked nervously.
But while Tibetan rights advo-
cates have long been inured to
impassive officials, they are in-
creasingly troubled by the deaf-
ening silence among Chinese in-
tellectuals and the liberal online
commentariat, a group usually
eager to call out injustice despite
the perils of bucking China’s au-
thoritarian strictures.
On Twitter, where China’s most
voluble critics find refuge from
government censors, the topic is
often buried by posts about per-
secuted dissidents, corrupt offi-
cials, illegal land grabs or other
scandals of the day. Since the
self-immolations began in ear-

ness of the next Chinese leader-
ship team to challenge the politi-
cally connected families that run
many state-owned enterprises.
And given the lavish opportuni-
ties these enterprises provide for
insider corruption and self-deal-
ing, that remains an open ques-
tion.
On Thursday, at the opening of
the party congress, the departing
president, Hu Jintao, who has
presided over an enormous in-
crease in the wealth and influ-
ence of state-owned enterprises
during his 10 years in power,
seemed to suggest placing some
limits on the sector and creating
a more level playing field for pri-
vate companies that try to com-
pete against them.
But two political advisers to
the incoming leadership who
have a deep knowledge of the fac-
tional rivalries in the Communist
Party expressed strong skepti-
cism that most state-owned en-
terprises have much to fear.
The national, provincial and lo-
cal governments are financially
dependent on the profits of such
enterprises and are reluctant to
give them up, the advisers said.
At the same time, the state enter-

also important as providers of

nese brethren seem unmoved by
the suffering — or are at least un-
interested in exploring why so
many people have embraced
such a horrifying means of pro-
test.
The silence, some say, is ex-
posing an uncomfortable gulf be-
tween Tibetans and China’s Han
majority, despite decades of prop-
aganda that seeks to portray the
nation as a harmonious family
comprising 56 contented minor-
ities.
their goods and services, even as
they borrow at artificially low in-
terest rates from state-owned
banks.
To be sure, the pressure for
change is building. Factional
struggles before the party con-
gress opened the way for a na-
tional debate over state-owned
enterprises. A wide range of
economists say further liberaliza-
tion of the parts of the economy
still dominated by the state is es-
sential to long-term growth.
“Without fundamental re-
forms, the country’s economic
prospect will dim, with a dimin-
ished chance to leap into the
ranks of developed economies,”
said Fred Hu, a former economist
at the International Monetary
Fund and Goldman Sachs who is
the founder and chairman of Pri-
mavera Capital, a large private
equity fund based in Beijing.
“Only bold reforms could fully
unleash the country’s enormous
potential and entrepreneurial en-
ergy and propel China into the
first world.”
Public support for economic re-
form makes it impossible for the

advisers, both of whom spoke on

“It’s the elephant in the room
that no one wants to talk about,”
said Wang Lixiong, a prominent
Tibetologist and social theorist
whose writings have drawn the
unwelcome attention of public se-
curity personnel, including a con-
tingent of police officers who kept
him sequestered inside his Bei-
jing apartment this week as the
party congress got under way.
Mr. Wang and others say a sub-
tle undercurrent of antipathy to-
ward Tibetans suffuses the
worldview of educated Chinese.
That sentiment, they say, has
been nurtured by official propa-
ganda that paints Tibetans as re-
bellious, uncultured and unap-
preciative of government efforts
to raise their standard of living.
One prominent filmmaker,
speaking more candidly than
usual, but only under the condi-
tion of anonymity, noted that
many Chinese are alternately
fascinated and repulsed by Tibet-
ans. “We Han love their exotic
singing and dancing, but we also
see them as barbarians seeking
to split the nation apart,” he said.
Whether it be antipathy or apa-
thy, many Chinese have been un-
consciously swayed by govern-
ment propaganda that describes
the self-immolators as “terror-
ists” even as unrelenting censor-
ship blocks any public airing of
their grievances, which include
complaints about restrictions on
Tibetan Buddhism and educa-
tional policies that, in some
areas, favor Mandarin over Ti-
betan.
“I think the authorities have
deliberately created a barrier be-
tween the two cultures,” said Hu
Yong, a professor at Peking Uni-
versity’s School of Journalism
and Communication.
Mr. Hu said such attitudes
were reinforced by China’s army
of Tibet specialists, nearly all of
whom are employed by govern-
ment-affiliated institutions and
in China. But the new team may
limit its actions to the privatiza-
tion of some state-owned manu-
facturers, like steel mills, which
do not have monopolies and are
plagued by problems like overca-
pacity, ferocious competition and
heavy financial losses.
A few top executives in the
auto industry have begun calling
for a limit on further investments
in that sector, which also faces
severe overcapacity. The govern-
ment has also been doing consid-
erably more detailed audits of
state-owned enterprises this
year, seeking signs of fraud or
corruption.
But the broader network of
state-owned enterprises in the
service sector, like telecommuni-
cations, banking, health care and
electricity distribution, is likely to
remain “virtually unchanged” for
the next few years, the political
adviser said.
“It’s going to be very difficult
to do,” said Roderick MacFar-
quhar, a Harvard professor who
is one of the best-known experts
on contemporary China from out-
side the country. “They’ve kept a
very low profile for so long, they
don’t know how to do anything
else.”

who faithfully parrot the party’s
official narrative on Tibetan his-
tory and politics.
Rigorous censorship has en-
sured that news about the pro-
tests rarely makes it onto the In-
ternet, let alone into the main-
stream news media. The Chinese
media has reported only a hand-
ful of the self-immolations, and
people who transmit news from
Tibetan areas face harsh punish-
ment.
The fear can be paralyzing for
many Chinese intellectuals. “No

former academy member.
But neither fear nor censorship
fully explain the silence of Chi-
nese liberals, most of whom are
adept at skirting the great fire-
wall and many of whom regularly
step across imaginary red lines
to lob verbal critiques of the Com-
munist Party. Tsering Woeser, a
blogger of mixed Tibetan and
Han ancestry, said many Chinese
see Tibetans as the “other”; she
said even friends have been
known to cite a well-known Chi-
nese proverb to explain their in-
difference to Tibetan grievances:
“If you are not of my ethnicity,
you cannot share my heart.”
Ms. Woeser said that even her
most open-minded friends are
confounded by Tibetans, with
their fierce religious devotion,
their demands for greater auton-
omy and their aching for the re-
turn of the Dalai Lama, whom
Beijing regularly dismisses as a
“wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

tion with the 18th Party Congress in Beijing on Friday.
prises as the old. The brother of
Li Keqiang, who is expected to
become the prime minister, is one
of four deputy directors of the
State Tobacco Monopoly Admin-
istration. With 98 percent of the
Chinese market for cigarettes,
the state-owned tobacco adminis-
tration generates taxes and prof-
its that total 7 to 10 percent of the
entire revenue of the central gov-
ernment, according to a report in
October from the Brookings In-
stitution in Washington.
China has a growing antismok-
ing movement, but it has little
support from the government.
The Brookings report said that a
“change in mind-set on the part
of the leadership, especially the
highly misleading and one-sided
perception of tobacco as a ‘cash
cow’ and major contributor to the
Chinese economy, is a prerequi-
site for policy change.”
Officials at the tobacco admin-
istration declined to comment,
and they declined to make Mr.
Li’s brother, Li Keming, available
for an interview.
For all the pessimism about
considerable discussion of ways

might be changed if the new lead-
ership decides to tackle the
One of the most influential pro-
posals within the Chinese leader-
ship in the past few months was

Chinese intellectuals, she add-
ed, see Tibet as a forbidding, res-
tive land, but also inseparable
from China. “The Han are ob-
sessed with issues of sovereign-
ty,” said Ms. Woeser, who is mar-
ried to Mr. Wang, the critic
barred from leaving his home.
“They want to claim Tibet as part
of China, but they are not terribly
concerned with the Tibetan peo-
ple or their culture.”
Even if the self-immolations
are confined to a region thou-
sands of miles away, Beijing offi-
cials were taking no chances this
week as party elders gathered for
the once-a-decade change in
leadership. During the opening
day of the party congress on
Thursday, several security
guards inside the Great Hall of
the People held fire extinguishers
between their knees as they sat
in the back row of the auditorium.
Outside on Tiananmen Square,
firefighters stood at attention
with fire extinguishers at their
feet, even if the vast granite-clad
plaza was devoid of anything
flammable. A New York Times
photographer who snapped pic-
tures of the firefighters was con-
fronted by the police, who forced
her to delete the images.
At a session held on Friday by
delegates from the Tibet Autono-
mous Region, Liang Tiangeng, a
top party official, dismissed a for-
eign reporter’s question about
whether the government had
plans to address the self-immola-
tions. After extolling the happi-
ness of the Tibetan people, he
noted that even developed and
democratic nations were plagued
by suicides.
“People kill themselves, they
set fire to themselves, they shoot
themselves every day,” he said.
“I think some media organiza-
tions are trying to sensationalize
the very few cases of self-immo-
lation that have happened in Ti-
betan area because they have ul-
terior motives.”

Mr. Chen’s paper calls for the
government to become essential-
ly an investor in state-owned en-
terprises, instead of actively
managing them and selecting the
management teams for each en-
terprise.
While useful in the past in ad-
vancing big projects like the
Three Gorges Dam, Mr. Chen
suggested in his paper, the gov-
ernment should now move more
aggressively to sell off its owner-
ship in sectors like steel that face
overcapacity, redeploying that
capital to emerging industries.
He called for the state to hire
more professional financial ad-
ministrators to manage this pro-
cess.
Mr. Hu seemed to endorse this
stance on Thursday, saying that
“we should separate government
administration from the manage-
ment of enterprises, state assets,
public institutions and social or-
ganizations.”
But there is little sign of a con-
sensus yet.
“I think there are definitely dif-
ferent schools of thought” inside
the government, said a manager
at a company looking closely at
acquiring stakes in state-owned
enterprises if they were to be pri-
vatized. “What they actually
choose to do will also depend on
the courage of the new leader-
ship.”

Anglican Church’s New Leader Vows to Seek Reconciliation Ex-Official Threatens Suit
By ALAN COWELL
LONDON — Bishop Justin
Welby, the new archbishop of
Canterbury and spiritual head of
the world’s estimated 77 million
Anglicans, pledged Friday to
seek reconciliation in some of the
most contentious issues of gen-
der and sexuality that have split
the Anglican Communion.
Soon after Prime Minister Da-
vid Cameron announced his ap-
pointment, Bishop Welby, 56, a
former oil company executive,
made it clear that he endorsed
earlier church statements criti-
cizing government plans to le-
galize same-sex marriage.
“But I also need to listen very
attentively to the L.G.B.T. com-
munities and examine my own
thinking carefully and prayerful-
ly,” he added, referring to lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender
groups.
“I am always averse to the lan-
guage of exclusion,” he said, ap-
parently seeking a middle ground
in the debates, which have split
Anglicans from Africa to Amer-
ica. “Above all, in the church we
need to create safe spaces for
these issues to be discussed in
honesty and in love.”
He said at a news conference,
“We must have no truck with any
form of homophobia in any part
of the church.”
Drawing on a career that has
taken him from the executive
suites of French and British oil
companies to hardscrabble par-
ish churches in the British Mid-
lands and to scenes of sectarian
strife in Africa and the Middle
East, Bishop Welby said he would
bring a “passion for reconcilia-
tion” to his new position.
Bishop Welby will replace the
Most Rev. Rowan Williams, who
announced in March that he
would step down at the end of the
year. Within the Church of Eng-
land, Bishop Welby faces dwin-
dling congregations and the
same divisions between con-
servatives and liberals as An-
glicans elsewhere.
Bishop Welby emerged as the
favorite to become the 105th
archbishop of Canterbury only
after tortuous negotiations within
the Church of England that had
led to frequent reports of dead-

In British Pedophile Case
By JOHN F. BURNS
LONDON — With Prime Min-
ister David Cameron warning of
a gathering “witch hunt” in Brit-
ain’s pedophile scandal, a former
Conservative Party official
threatened legal action on Friday
after he was falsely named on the
Internet as the man who sexually
abused a young teenager more
than a dozen times at a Welsh
children’s home in the 1980s.
A lawyer for the politician,
Alistair McAlpine, said his client
would have “no choice” but to file
suit to clear his name of the accu-
sations, which Mr. McAlpine dis-
missed as “wholly false and de-
famatory.” It was not immedi-
ately clear who would be the tar-
get of the suit, but the lawyer, An-
drew Reid, indicated that the
BBC could be one defendant
when he said that the state-
owned broadcaster had played a
part in encouraging the Internet
speculation about Mr. McAlpine.
The allegation stemmed from a
report last week by the BBC pro-
gram “Newsnight,” which has
been under fire for canceling an
investigative segment late last
year on accusations of a long his-
tory of child sexual abuse, some
of it on BBC premises, against
Jimmy Savile, the host of wildly
popular BBC programs from the
1970s to the 1990s. Mr. Savile died
at 84 in October 2011.
The “Newsnight” report con-
tained an interview with a man,
Steve Messham, who said he had
been taken to a local hotel from a
children’s home in the North
Wales town of Wrexham in the
1980s and abused more than a
dozen times by a man he identi-
fied as a senior Conservative pol-
itician from the years when
Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher was in power. The
“Newsnight” segment fueled
widespread speculation on the
Internet as to the identity of the
politician involved.
But then The Guardian news-
paper posted an article on its
Web site on Thursday night say-
ing that the man most promi-
nently named on the Internet,
Mr. McAlpine, was “a victim of
mistaken identity.” It quoted a lo-
cal council member as saying
that a member of the McAlpine
family who lived locally might
have been mistaken for the for-
mer Conservative politician.
With that, Mr. McAlpine went
public, condemning the “media
N A9
frenzy” and innuendo that he
said had led to the accounts on
the Internet that he was the man
implicated in the “Newsnight”
segment and giving a point-by-
point rebuttal of Mr. Messham’s
account. Mr. McAlpine said he
had “never been to the children’s
home in Wrexham, nor have I
ever visited any children’s home,
reform school or any other insti-
tution of a similar nature.” He
said he had never stayed in a ho-
tel in or near Wrexham, never
owned a Rolls-Royce, never had a
“gold card” or a “Harrods card,”
and never wore after-shave — all
features cited by Mr. Messham.
On Friday, Mr. Messham apolo-
gized, saying the actual Mr.
McAlpine bore no resemblance to
the man in the photos shown to
him by the police in the 1990s.
“Newsnight” on Friday
evening featured a broad apology
to Mr. McAlpine by the manage-
ment of the program and the
BBC, coupled with an announce-
ment that all investigative re-
porting by “Newsnight” was be-
ing suspended indefinitely.
Alistair McAlpine, heir to a
construction fortune, was Con-
servative Party treasurer when
he was named to the House of
Lords by Mrs. Thatcher in 1984.
He is now 70, in poor health and
living with his third wife in south-
ern Italy. The McAlpine relative
who lived near Wrexham, said in
his obituary to have had a large
collection of vintage cars, has
been dead since 1991.
It was another twist to a scan-
dal that has sent shock waves
through the BBC and the police,
as well as hospitals, children’s
homes and other institutions
where children are said to have
been systematically abused over
decades. Allegations that it is fo-
menting a wave of public hyste-
ria with unsupported accusations
have been aimed at “Newsnight,”
the flagship BBC program.
Mr. Cameron warned against a
hysteria that threatened to drag
innocent people into the fray.
“There is a danger if we are not
careful that this can turn into a
sort of witch hunt, particularly
about people who are gay, and
I’m worried about the sort of
thing you are doing right now,” he
said on Thursday when he was
handed a list of conservative poli-
ticians alleged to have links to
pedophilia that had been down-
loaded by the host of ITV’s “This
Morning” program.

Manila Hospital, No Stranger to Stork, Awaits Reproductive Health Bill’s Fate

By FLOYD WHALEY
MANILA — In the main ward
at Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial
Hospital, 171 women and nearly
as many newborns share fewer
than 100 beds. Dozens more ex-
pectant mothers line the street
outside, some sleeping on the
sidewalk while waiting to get in.
The women, most of whom
cannot afford to give birth at a
private hospital, move through a
type of controlled chaos from the
street, to the labor room, to the
delivery room, to the maternity
ward and back out the door, usu-
ally in less than 48 hours.
“It’s a never-ending story, 24
hours a day, every day,” said Dr.
Romeo Bituin, who added that
the government-run maternity
hospital was legally required to
serve as a safety net for the poor.
“We can’t reject patients. If we
turn them away, where will they
go?”
After years of discussion in the
Philippine Congress, the House
of Representatives finally de-
cided in August to end debate on
a reproductive health bill that
would subsidize contraception
and require sex education in the
Philippines, a country with one of
the highest birthrates in Asia. If it
passes in the House, which re-
turned to session on Monday, the
bill will also need to be approved
by the Senate.
The bill’s proponents, led by
President Benigno S. Aquino III,
who has made the issue a priority
of his two-year-old administra-
tion, say the measure will give
poor women a chance to have
fewer children and rise out of
poverty. Opponents, backed prin-
cipally by the Roman Catholic PHOTOGRAPHS BY JES AZNAR FOR THE INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE

main players that fuel the econ-
omy,” said Jose Palma, the presi-
dent of the Catholic Bishops’ Con-
ference of the Philippines.
Whether it is a bane or a boon,
the birthrate in the Philippines —
24.98 out of 1,000 people, com-
pared with 13.7 in the United
States — is not a matter of statis-
tics at Fabella. It is a matter of lo-
gistics.
The hospital, in a former prison
between a public market and the
city jail, delivers more babies
than any other facility in the Phil-
ippines. Last year, 17,639 babies
were born there.
The women are allowed into
the hospital only when they are
ready to give birth. After the
birth, they sleep two to a bed in
the maternity ward. If they have
a healthy delivery without com-
plications, they are sent home af-

ter one day.
“We don’t have the capacity to
let them come in early or stay
long after delivery,” said Dr. Ma-
rie Pacapac, a spokeswoman for
the hospital. “Our delivery room
fills up.”
The hospital averages about 60
deliveries a day in the summer
and about 80 deliveries in a 24-
hour period during the peak de-
livery season, September to De-
cember.
Fabella, which accepts preg-
nant women that other facilities
reject, charges 3,000 pesos, about
$70, for a normal delivery. Wom-
en who cannot afford that pay
whatever they can. Some babies
have been delivered for 100 pe-
sos, about $2.40, while some ex-
pectant mothers show up at the
hospital without a single peso,
hospital officials said.
Most of the women who deliver
at Fabella have never had any
sexual or reproductive health
education — which is rarely
taught here — and many cannot
afford to buy contraception, said
Dr. Bituin, who noted that these
issues would be addressed by the
pending legislation.
“These women will use birth
control pills, they will use con-
doms, but they can’t afford
them,” Dr. Bituin said.
“If they received these things
for free, they would use them,
and fewer of them would end up
here,” he said. “We are just the
last step in the process. We need
to advocate reproductive health
in the community at the grass
roots. The church is already
there spreading their message
through services every Sunday.”
The hospital does offer family
planning information, but budget
constraints prevent it from giv-
ing patients contraceptives, said
Dr. Esmeraldo Ilem, the facility’s
head of family planning services.
“Family planning in the Philip-
pines is not about population con-
trol,” Dr. Ilem said. “It is a health
intervention. We are focusing on
women who are too young, too
old, too poor or too sick to have
babies but their situation does
not allow them to stop.”
That description could be ap-
plied to Jelly Galia, a 44-year-old
with seven children who was in
the main ward after her eighth
child died shortly after birth the
night before.
Sitting on a bed surrounded by
women nursing their newborns,
Ms. Galia said she lived with her
children in a slum. Her husband
is an unemployed taxi driver, and
her family has no income.
“I don’t want to have any more
babies,” she said, wiping tears
from her eyes. “I would take the
pills, but we don’t have money to
buy those. We’ll try ‘control,’”
she said, using the local term for
abstinence.

Cuba’s Prospects for an Oil-Fueled Economic Jolt Falter With Departure of Rig
By CLIFFORD KRAUSS
and DAMIEN CAVE
HOUSTON — Cuba’s hopes of
reviving its economy with an oil
boom have produced little more
than three dry holes, persuading
foreign oil companies to remove
the one deepwater rig able to
work in Cuban waters so it could
be used for more lucrative pros-
pects elsewhere.
The rig, which was built in Chi-
na to get around the United
States trade embargo, is expect-
ed to depart in the next few
weeks. With no other rigs avail-
able for deepwater exploration,
that means Cuba must now post-
pone what had become an abid-
ing dream: a windfall that would
save Cuba’s economy and lead to
a uniquely Cuban utopia where
the island’s socialist system was
paid for by oil sales to its capital-
ist neighbors.
“The Cuban oil dream is over
and done with, at least for the
next five years,” said Jorge Pi-
ñon, a former BP and Amoco ex-
ecutive who fled Cuba as a child
but continues to brief foreign oil
companies on Cuban oil pros-
pects. “The companies have bet-
ter prospects by going to Brazil,
Angola and the U.S. Gulf.”
The lack of a quick find comes
at a difficult time for Cuba. The
effects of Hurricane Sandy,
which destroyed more than
100,000 homes in eastern Cuba,
are weighing down an economy
that remains moribund despite
two years of efforts by the Cuban
government to cut state payrolls
and cautiously encourage free
enterprise on a small scale.
Cuba had hoped to become en-
ergy independent, after relying
first on Russia and now on Vene-

Houston, and Damien Cave from
Mexico City.

zuela for most of its oil. But with
its drilling prospects dimming,
experts say, Cuban officials may
be pushed to accelerate the pro-
cess of economic opening. At the
very least, it may embolden
members of the bureaucracy
looking for broader or faster
changes in the economy.
“This could represent a crucial
setback for the Cuban regime,”
said Blake Clayton, an energy fel-
low at the Council on Foreign Re-
lations. In the meantime, the gov-
ernment has mostly tried to put a
positive spin on the disappointing
drilling results and the decision
of the rig operator to lease in oth-
er waters. Granma, the Commu-
nist Party newspaper, reported
last week that while Venezuela’s
state oil firm had plugged its hole
because “it did not offer possibil-
ities of commercial exploitation,”
the drilling had obtained valuable
geological information. The Ven-
ezuelan firm was the last of three
foreign oil companies to use the
rig, after the Spanish company
Repsol and the Malaysian com-
pany Petronas.
The government said more ex-
ploration could be expected.
The potential for Cuba’s oil re-
serves, like nearly everything in-
volving Cuba, has been a matter
of dispute. Cuban officials had
predicted that oil companies
would find 20 billion barrels of oil
reserves off its northern coast.
The United States Geological
Survey has estimated Cuban oil
reserves at 5 billion barrels, one
quarter of the Cuban estimate.
The best-case scenario for pro-
duction, according to some oil ex-
perts, would be for Cuba to even-
tually become a medium-size
producer like Ecuador. But as the
three dry holes showed, far more
exploration effort would be need-
ed, and that presents a challenge
for a country with limited re-
sources and the hurdle of Ameri-
can sanctions. There are many
offshore areas that are compet-
ing with Cuba for the attention of
oil companies, particularly off the
coasts of South America and East
and West Africa.
In Cuba’s case, the American
embargo makes it far more diffi-
cult for companies seeking to ex-
plore Cuban waters. The Scar-
ENRIQUE de la OSA/REUTERS
abeo 9, the rig set to depart, is the
only one available that is capable
of drilling in deep waters and
complies with the embargo. To
get it built, Repsol, the Spanish
oil giant, was forced to contract
an Italian operator to build a rig
in China to drill exploration wells.
Cuban officials have also run
into environmental concerns in
the United States. The prospect
of drilling only 50 miles from the
Florida Keys had worried ocean
scientists, who warned that if the
kind of blowout that occurred on
the BP rig in 2010 in the Gulf of
Mexico was repeated in Cuban
waters, it could send oil spewing
onto Florida coastlines in as little
as three days. If the oil reached
the Gulf Stream, the powerful
current that passes through the
area, oil could flow up the coast to
Miami and beyond.
Still, Cuba has been bullish
about oil since plans for the rig’s
arrival were first made several
years ago. Cuba produces a small
amount of oil and relies on Vene-
zuela to provide around 115,000
barrels a day at highly subsidized
rates, in exchange for the serv-
ices of Cuban doctors and other
professionals. Venezuelan pro-
duction has been sliding steeply
in recent years, and Cuban offi-
cials have been unnerved by the
health problems of Venezuela’s
president, Hugo Chávez, a crucial
ally for the island.
Lee Hunt, a former president
of the International Association
of Drilling Contractors, said there
were still potential opportunities
off the island. The first Repsol
well, he said, was not productive,
but a subsequent study of the
drilling results concluded that
there could be promising oil-pro-
ducing rocks in nearby waters.
The second well drilled by
Petronas found only heavy oil
that was so thick it could not be
economically lifted out of the
ground. And the third attempt by
the Venezuelan state company
found rock that was so hard and
thick that it wore down drill bits
before reaching oil.
Mr. Hunt said oil consultants
continued to train Cuban drilling
crews for the Russian company
Zarubezhneft, which plans to drill
using a Norwegian rig in shallow
waters about 200 miles east of
Havana. But that area is not con-
sidered as promising as the deep
waters.
So the next deepwater explora-
tion effort, Mr. Hunt said, may
have to come from farther away:
oil companies from Vietnam and
Angola still have active leases in
Cuba for future drilling.
Do not forget the Neediest!

Races in Arizona Still Hang in the Balance
Officials Scrambling to Tally Hundreds of Thousands of Uncounted Votes
By FERNANDA SANTOS
PHOENIX — Three days after the
election, the outcome of several races
remained a mystery in Arizona as offi-
cials struggle to count a record number
of early and provisional ballots, many of
them cast by voters who believed they
had registered but whose names were
not on the voter rolls at the polling
place.
On Thursday, Secretary of State Ken
Bennett revealed the magnitude of the
situation: 631,274 votes remained un-
counted, he said, more than in any pres-
idential election in memory and enough
to anger voting- and immigrant-rights
advocates, who have called on the Jus-
tice Department to investigate. (By Fri-
day, there were 524,633 uncounted bal-
lots. There are 3.1 million registered vot-
ers in the state.)
The advocates, who have been stag-
ing nearly continuous protests outside
the Maricopa County Tabulation and
Election Center, where most of the
votes are being tallied, have raised ac-
cusations of disenfranchisement, saying
the same Latino voters they worked so
diligently to register may have been dis-
proportionately affected. Based on ac-
counts they have been collecting since
before the polls closed, among the
115,000 voters who cast provisional bal-
lots in Maricopa County on Tuesday
were many first-time minority voters
who signed up to get their ballots by
mail, but never did.
“We’re concerned that some of the
barriers we’re seeing fell heavily on La-
tino and African-American voters,” said
Monica Sandschafer, acting coordinator
for One Arizona, a coalition of nonprofit
groups working to increase voter par-
ticipation among working families.

day at the offices of Unite Here, which

Fickle Wisconsin Sends a Trusty Progressive to the Senate
By MICHAEL M. GRYNBAUM
MADISON, Wis. — Her state, just two
years ago, elected a darling of the Tea
Party to the Senate, displacing a Demo-
cratic mainstay. When the conservative
governor, Scott Walker, stripped most
state workers of bargaining rights, vot-
ers here rejected an effort to recall him
from office.
And in 2006, a constitutional amend-
ment defining marriage as the union of
one man and one woman passed with
the support of a clear majority of Wis-
consinites — the same electorate that
on Tuesday voted for Representative
Tammy Baldwin, making her the coun-
try’s first openly gay senator.
Ms. Baldwin’s hard-fought victory, in
a bruising, $65 million race against a
popular Republican opponent, was a
testament to the unorthodox politics of
a state whose ideological swings can, to
outside observers, evoke whiplash.
But it was also a striking affirmation
of Ms. Baldwin, 50, a soft-spoken but un-
flinching seven-term congresswoman
who won over voters in her native state
without moderating the starkly pro-
gressive views — including lonely votes
against the invasion of Iraq and the re-
peal of the Glass-Steagall Act, a law that
curbed commercial banks — that rou-
High school students who helped register many Latino voters demonstrated
on Wednesday outside the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center
to vote by mail. Meanwhile, the Arizona
chapter of the American Civil Liberties
Union wrote a letter to the county re-
corder, Helen Purcell, saying the “pub-
lic confidence in the voting process”
was at stake.
The uncertainty has also unsettled
candidates and campaign staffs,
prompting at least one of them — Mark
Napier, the Republican candidate for
sheriff in Pima County, which had 80,735
uncounted votes on Wednesday — to re-
scind his concession.
“I was down by 7,400 votes on election
night,” Mr. Napier said. “I assumed it
was over, but this election could
change.”
Three Congressional races remained
too close to call on Friday, and there
were also some misgivings about the
outcome of several other races. One of

of state.
Mr. Carmona conceded on Tuesday;
on Friday, in a message to supporters,
he wrote, “We will take every necessary
step to make sure all of our supporters’
ballots are counted.”
Activists say that they believe, based
on what they have heard from people in
the field, that provisional ballots tended
to be used most often in Hispanic and
black neighborhoods. But that cannot
be verified until all the ballots are

Matt Roberts, a spokesman for Mr.
Bennett, said that all valid votes would
be counted. Advocates and elected offi-
cials are worried, though, that voters
who had to cast conditional provisional
ballots because they forgot to bring
identification to the polls, as state law
requires, may not know they have to
present their ID at the county elections
office by Wednesday for their vote to
count.
“You should do it not just for the
Democrats or the Republicans, or for
the Hispanic voters and the black vot-
ers. You should do it because it’s the
right thing to do,” State Representative
Ruben Gallego, a Democrat, said at a
protest on Friday.
Deborah Curtis, a poll observer at Xa-
vier College Preparatory in Central
Phoenix attending the same protest,
said she saw a black voter being told
she could drop off her early ballot only
in her neighborhood precinct, although
early ballots can be left at any polling
place.
“I wondered how many other people
were told the same thing,” Ms. Curtis
said.
On Thursday night, more than a hun-
dred people — activists, high school stu-
dents who are too young to vote but
worked for months to register voters,
and voters who said they were forced to
use provisional ballots at the polls —
joined hands in a human chain and
prayed outside the election center, a
squat brick building on a desolate
stretch of downtown, next to the train
tracks and across the street from a jail.
Friday morning, they marched five
blocks along Third Avenue to the county
recorder’s office, where they delivered
a petition with at least 20,000 signa-
tures, demanding answers. Outside, on
small pieces of paper, they left mes-
sages taped to a wooden board. One of
them read, “We have rights.” Another
read, “Justice.”

After the enormous applause — the
loudest of the night — died down, she
added: “But I didn’t run to make histo-
ry. I ran to make a difference.”
The flush of victory still seemed fresh
for Ms. Baldwin during an interview on
Thursday at her Madison office. Walk-
ing into a conference room, her eye-
brows shot up at the site of an elaborate
spray of flowers, a congratulatory gift
from a supporter. “I hadn’t seen that
yet,” she said, a bit surprised. Her new
title, senator-elect, remains foreign to
her. “It still perks my ears up whenever
I hear somebody say that,” she said.   plans in the exchanges will drive down
It was this self-effacing demeanor
that helped Ms. Baldwin win over vot-

political career. Elected to the county

her way to the State Assembly, and later
to Congress, being elected Wisconsin’s
first female representative in 1998.

U.S. Extends
A Deadline
For States
On Coverage
By ROBERT PEAR
WASHINGTON — With many states
lagging far behind schedule, the Obama
administration said Friday that it would
extend the deadline for them to submit
plans for health insurance exchanges,
the online markets where millions of
Americans are expected to obtain pri-
vate coverage subsidized by the federal
government.
The original Nov. 16 deadline will be
extended to Dec. 14 — and in some
cases to Feb. 15, the administration said.
The Congressional Budget Office pre-
dicts that 25 million people will obtain
coverage through the new online shop-
ping malls known as insurance ex-
changes. Most of them will receive fed-
eral subsidies averaging more than
$5,000 a year per person to help them
pay premiums.
Every state is supposed to have an
exchange by Jan. 1, 2014, when the fed-
eral government will require most
Americans to have insurance. Many
states delayed work on the exchanges
to see the outcome of a Supreme Court
case challenging the health care law,
then waited to see if President Obama
would be re-elected.
If a state wants to run its own ex-
change, its governor still must submit a
declaration of intent — generally a brief
letter of one or two pages — by Nov. 16.
But states will have more time to sub-
mit the detailed applications required
by federal officials.
The White House has repeatedly said
that states were making excellent
progress toward creation of the ex-
changes, even as Republican governors
and state legislators expressed ambiva-
lence or outright opposition. In addition,
state officials who want to establish ex-
changes said they were having difficul-
ty because Mr. Obama had yet to issue
crucial regulations and guidance.
In a letter to governors on Friday,
Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of
health and human services, said that
many states had asked for “additional

Under the Affordable Care Act, the

unwilling to do so. Fewer than half the
states have indicated that they will set

If states want to run their own ex-

Senator Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, the
senior Republican on the Senate Fi-

the White House had not given states

make decisions.
“Frankly,” Mr. Hatch said, “the fact
that the exchanges are such a mess is
pretty emblematic of how flawed the
president’s health law is — with states
having to bear the brunt.”
Representative Charles Boustany Jr.
of Louisiana, a spokesman for House
Republicans on health policy, said he
doubted that extending the deadline

A rally for immigration reform in Washington on Thursday. Speaker John A. Boehner called for a “comprehensive approach.”
Republicans Reconsider Positions on Immigration
By JULIA PRESTON
After a presidential election in
which Latino voters rewarded
President Obama while punish-
ing Republicans for their posi-
tions on immigration, Republican
leaders and prominent conserva-
tives moved quickly this week to
shift to new ground, saying they
could support some kind of legis-
lation to fix illegal immigration.
The prospects for an immigra-
tion overhaul next year improved
with stunning speed after the
vote, with John A. Boehner, the
speaker of the House, who had
long resisted any broad immigra-
tion bill, saying on Thursday that
“a comprehensive approach is
long overdue.” Haley Barbour, a
Republican elder statesman and
former governor of Mississippi,
echoed Mr. Boehner, and Sean
Hannity, the conservative talk
show host — in a startling turn-
around — joined calls for meas-
ures opening pathways to legal
status for illegal immigrants.
One of every 10 voters who cast
ballots on Tuesday was a Latino,
and they favored President Oba-
ma, with 71 percent of their votes,
compared with 27 percent for
Mitt Romney, forcing Republican
leaders to wonder if they could
ever regain the presidency with-
out increasing their appeal to
Hispanic Americans.
Mr. Obama wasted no time, re-
newing in his acceptance speech
early Wednesday his promise to
move “in the coming weeks and
months” on “fixing our immigra-
tion system.”
A host of advocates noted that
the coalition of forces supporting
a thorough repair of the immigra-
tion system, including the offer of
legal status for more than 11 mil-
lion illegal immigrants, is broad-
er and more organized than ever
before. It includes Latino organ-
izations, business and agricultur-
al employers, libertarian con-
servatives, evangelical Chris-
tians and law enforcement

folks making under $250,000 a
year,” he said. “So let’s not wait.”
The president’s comments
came shortly after Speaker John
A. Boehner, who had been strik-
ing a conciliatory tone since Re-
publican election losses in the
Senate and the House, told re-
porters that Republicans had
won a mandate of their own by
retaining control of the House
and that he supported continuing
rates enacted in the Bush-era tax
cuts for all income levels.
“Raising tax rates will slow
down our ability to create the
jobs that everyone says they
want,” said Mr. Boehner, who
said he favored generating any
new federal revenue to offset the
deficit by closing tax loopholes
and limiting deductions.
“It’s clear that there are a lot of
special interest loopholes in the
tax code, both corporate and per-
sonal,” he said. “It’s also clear
that there are all kinds of de-
ductions, some of which make
sense; others don’t. And by low-
ering rates and cleaning up the
tax code, we know we’re going to
get more economic growth.”
The president and Mr. Boehner
were careful with their language
and left room for compromise de-
spite their fundamental differ-
ences about shifting more of the
tax burden to high-income Amer-
icans. Mr. Boehner would not be
very specific on what his goal
might be for raising new federal
tax dollars.
groups.
“Is the Republican disconnect
with the Latino community tem-
porary or permanent?” asked the
Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, presi-
dent of the National Hispanic
Christian Leadership Confer-
ence, the largest organization of
Hispanic evangelicals. “The Re-
publicans can redeem the narra-
tive with this community by pass-
ing comprehensive immigration
reform,” Mr. Rodriguez said
Thursday.
Republicans, in soul-searching
after their loss, weighed the les-
sons from Mr. Romney’s failed
campaign. Looking at polls that
showed immigration was not the
top subject of concern for Lati-
nos, Mr. Romney avoided the is-
sue when he could and instead
based his appeal to them on the
economic themes he used with
other voters. That was a serious
misunderstanding of Latino sen-
sibilities, leaders said.
“How you talked about immi-
grants sent a signal on what kind
of perspective you had on Latinos
over all,” said Arturo Vargas, ex-
ecutive director of the National
Association of Latino Elected and
Appointed Officials Educational
Fund, a bipartisan group.
Mr. Romney never recovered
after he moved to the right dur-
ing the primaries, saying he
would pressure immigrants to
“self-deport” and veto the Dream
Act, a bill to give legal status to
young immigrants here illegally
that enjoys near-universal sup-
port among Latinos.
Mr. Obama lifted his sinking
standing with Hispanics in June
when he offered two-year re-
prieves from deportation and
work permits to hundreds of
thousands of those young immi-
grants, an action so popular it
made Latinos overlook his hav-
ing deported more than 1.4 mil-
lion people during his term.
But many Republicans at-
tacked the reprieves as amnesty
by fiat, and Mr. Romney said he
would cancel them if he became
president.
In exit polls on Tuesday, 77 per-
“I don’t want to box myself in,”
he said. “I don’t want to box any-
body else in. I think it’s important
for us to come to an agreement
with the president. But this is his
opportunity to lead.”
The speaker, who has strug-
gled with his more conservative
rank and file in the past, said he
was confident that he could pass
a deal if one was reached with the
White House. “When the presi-
dent and I have been able to
come to an agreement, there has
been no problem getting it
passed here in the House,” he
said.
House Republican leadership
aides found some positive signals
in Mr. Obama’s combative tone.
They noted that he never speci-
fied he wants tax rates to rise,
only that he wants additional rev-
enues generated by taxes on the
rich. That would give both sides
the latitude to devise a restruc-
tured tax code that eliminates or
limits tax deductions and credits
for the rich — or that follows Mitt
Romney’s proposal to cap deduc-
tions at a set limit for rich house-
holds, though many analysts say
that approach alone cannot raise
the revenue Democrats want.
Any agreement to avert a fiscal
crisis in January, when hundreds
of billions of dollars in automatic
tax increases and spending cuts
kick in, now revolves around the
definition of tax increases. Mr.
Boehner is holding the line
against any increase in tax rates,
even for the richest Americans,
who currently are in the 35 per-

cent of Hispanic voters said im-
migrants here illegally should
have a chance to apply for legal
status, while 18 percent said they
should be deported. In the polls,
65 percent of all voters favored le-
gal status for those immigrants,
while 28 percent said they should
be deported.
Mr. Boehner chose his words
carefully on Thursday, in an in-
terview with ABC News. Saying
he was ready for a “comprehen-
sive approach,” he said he was
confident that Congress and Mr.
Obama could find “common
ground to take care of this issue
once and for all.”

ington on Friday, Mr. Boehner de-
clined to say whether he was en-
dorsing a path to citizenship for
illegal immigrants.
“What I’m talking about is a
common-sense step-by-step ap-
proach that would secure our
borders, allow us to enforce our
laws and fix a broken immigra-
tion system,” he said. “But
again,” he added, “on an issue
this big, the president has to
lead.”
Mr. Boehner’s use of the word
comprehensive caused a stir, be-
cause supporters of legal status
for immigrants who lack it have
long called their proposal “com-
prehensive immigration reform.”
Mr. Hannity was more forth-
right. On his show on Thursday,
he said he had “evolved” and
now believed that “if people are
here, law-abiding, participating
for years, their kids are born

nue than the existing code.
Representative Steny H. Hoyer

see taxes on the wealthy go up. In
a statement after Mr. Obama
spoke, Mr. Hoyer said that “on

were already urging a more in-
clusive approach, including Sena-
tor Marco Rubio, Representative
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and former
Gov. Jeb Bush, all of Florida.
In recent years, traditional im-
migrant and Latino groups
worked to organize and expand
their base of support, finding
middle ground with Republicans
in state offices worried about the
party slipping with minorities.
The attorney general of Utah,
Mark Shurtleff, a conservative
Republican, said he was part of
an “education campaign” to per-
suade Republican officials that
“they need to reject the run-’em-
out, deport-’em, enforcement-
only approach that people think
is the only voice of the Repub-
lican Party.”
The emerging coalition in-
cludes technology companies
seeking more visas for high-
skilled immigrants, growers
seeking legal farm workers,
evangelical pastors responding
to huge growth in their churches
from Latino immigrants and
young undocumented immi-
grants whose protests pushed
the White House to offer the de-
portation reprieves.
Last month Grover Norquist,
the fiscal hawk who is president
of Americans for Tax Reform,
said in a speech in Indianapolis
that more immigration, including
legal status for those here ille-
gally, was vital to economic re-
vival.
However, it was evident almost
immediately after Mr. Boehner
spoke on Thursday that many
Congressional Republicans
would be hostile to comprehen-
sive immigration-reform efforts.
“I’m urging the speaker to talk
with House Republicans before
making pledges on the national
news,” said Representative John
Fleming, Republican of Louisi-
ana. “The first thing we need is
for President Obama to finally
enforce current immigration law
and strengthen our borders. To
take up any other agenda is bad
policy for the American people
and bad politics for Republicans.”
made it clear that they support a
balanced approach to bring down
deficits and set our nation back
on a sound fiscal path — one that
does not ask working families
and those struggling to get by to
bear the burden of deficit reduc-
tion, but instead asks the wealthi-
est Americans to pay their fair
share.”
While Mr. Obama was careful
not to demand that tax rates rise,

changes that affect voting. Critics
of the law call the preclearance
requirement a unique federal in-
trusion on state sovereignty and
a badge of shame for the affected
jurisdictions that is no longer jus-
tified.
The preclearance requirement,
originally set to expire in five
years, was upheld by the Su-
preme Court in 1966 as a rational
response to the often flagrantly
lawless conduct of some South-
ern officials then.
Congress has repeatedly ex-
tended the requirement: for 5
years in 1970, 7 years in 1975, and
25 years in 1982. Congress re-
newed the act in 2006 after hold-
ing extensive hearings on the
persistence of racial discrimina-
tion at the polls, again extending
the preclearance requirement for
25 years.
But it made no changes to the
list of jurisdictions covered by
Section 5, relying instead on a
formula based on historical prac-
tices and voting data from elec-
tions held decades ago. It applies
to nine states — Alabama, Alas-
ka, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, South Carolina, Tex-
as and Virginia — and to scores
of counties and municipalities in
other states.
Should the court rule that Con-
gress was not entitled to rely on
outdated data to decide which ju-
risdictions should be covered,
lawmakers could in theory go
back to the drawing board and re-
enact the law using fresher in-
formation. In practice, given the
political realities, a decision strik-
ing down the coverage formula
would probably amount to the
end of Section 5.
In May, a divided three-judge
panel of the United States Court
of Appeals for the District of Co-
lumbia rejected a challenge to the
law filed by Shelby County, Ala.
Judge David S. Tatel, writing for
the majority, acknowledged that
“the extraordinary federalism
costs imposed by Section 5 raise
substantial constitutional con-
cerns,” and he added that the
record compiled by Congress to
justify the law’s renewal was “by
no means unambiguous.”
“But Congress drew reason-
able conclusions from the exten-
sive evidence it gathered,” he
went on. The constitutional
amendments ratified after the
Civil War, he said, “entrust Con-
gress with ensuring that the right
to vote — surely among the most
important guarantees of political
liberty in the Constitution — is
not abridged on account of race.
In this context, we owe much def-
erence to the considered judg-
ment of the people’s elected rep-
resentatives.”
The dissenting member of the
panel, Judge Stephen F. Williams,
surveyed recent evidence con-
cerning registration and turnout,
the election of black officials, the
use of federal election observers
and suits under another part of
the law.
Some of that evidence, he said,
“suggests that the coverage for-
mula completely lacks any ra-
tional connection to current lev-
els of voter discrimination,” while
other evidence indicates that the
formula, “though not completely
perverse, is a remarkably bad fit
with Congress’s concerns.”
DOUG MILLS/THE NEW YORK TIMES
Jay Carney, the White House
press secretary, said just an hour
later that the president would
veto any legislation extending
the expiring tax cuts for families
making $250,000 or more.
For all the talk of compromise,
neither side offered any sugges-
tion of where it might back down.
While both sides agree on the
need to avoid triggering the auto-
matic tax increases and spending
“Given the drastic remedy im-
posed on covered jurisdictions by
Section 5,” he wrote, “I do not be-
lieve that such equivocal evi-
dence can sustain the scheme.”
The Supreme Court has al-
ready once considered the consti-
tutionality of the 2006 extension
of the law in a 2009 decision,
Northwest Austin Municipal Util-
ity District Number One v. Hold-
er. But it avoided answering the
central question, and it seemed to
give Congress an opportunity to
make adjustments. Congress did
not respond.
At the argument of the 2009
case, Justice Anthony M. Ken-
nedy questioned whether the dis-
tinctions drawn in the 2006 law
reflect contemporary realities.
“Congress has made a finding
that the sovereignty of Georgia is
less than the sovereign dignity of
Ohio,” Justice Kennedy said.
“The sovereignty of Alabama is
less than the sovereign dignity of
Michigan. And the governments
in one are to be trusted less than
the governments in the other.”
“No one questions the validity,
the urgency, the essentiality of
the Voting Rights Act,” he added.
“The question is whether or not it
should be continued with this dif-
ferentiation between the states.
And that is for Congress to show.”
In the end, the court, in an

tral question and ruled instead on
a narrow statutory ground, say-
ing the utility district in Austin,
Tex., that had challenged the con-
stitutionality of the law might be
eligible to “bail out” from being
covered by it. Still, Chief Justice
John G. Roberts Jr., writing for
the majority, was skeptical about
the continued need for Section 5.
“The historic accomplishments
of the Voting Rights Act are un-
deniable,” he wrote. But “things
have changed in the South.
“Voter turnout and registra-
tion rates now approach parity,”
he wrote. “Blatantly discrimina-
tory evasions of federal decrees
are rare. And minority candi-
dates hold office at unprecedent-
ed levels.
“The statute’s coverage formu-
la is based on data that is now
more than 35 years old,” he add-
ed,“and there is considerable evi-
dence that it fails to account for
current political conditions.”
Having said all of that, and ac-
knowledging that the court’s al-
ternative ruling had stretched
the text of the statute, Chief Jus-
tice Roberts said the court should
avoid deciding hard constitution-
al questions when it could.
“Whether conditions continue to
justify such legislation is a diffi-
cult constitutional question we do
not answer today,” he wrote.
On Friday, in agreeing to hear
the case, Shelby County v. Hold-
er, No. 12-96, the court indicated
that it is prepared to provide an
answer to the question it left

mise remains unclear. New re-
ports this week by the Congres-
sional Budget Office found that
the automatic tax increases and
spending cuts would cut the def-
icit by $503 billion through next
September. But the reports said
that the austerity could cause the

Democrats on Cusp of Winning Supermajority in California Legislature

By NORIMITSU ONISHI
SAN FRANCISCO — Califor-
nia’s Democrats were poised on
Friday to gain a two-thirds su-
permajority in the State Legisla-
ture, an achievement that would
give them the power to raise tax-
es unilaterally and could poten-
tially ease the gridlock in a state
known for its fiscal chaos.
A supermajority in Sacramen-
to — last held in 1933 by the Re-
publicans — would effectively
bring one-party rule to the na-
tion’s largest state, where Demo-
crats hold all statewide offices
and where the Republican Par-
ty’s declining fortunes have been
hastened by a recent nonpartisan
redistricting.
Democrats, as expected, quick-
ly secured a supermajority in the
State Senate on Tuesday. But the
unexpected possibility of adding
a supermajority in the Assembly
heightened the Democrats’ eu-
phoria after Tuesday’s election,
in which Gov. Jerry Brown’s $6
billion tax initiative, Proposition
30, scored a resounding victory
despite fierce opposition from in-
side and outside the state.
County election officials were
still tallying the ballots in two
tight Assembly races that Demo-
crats were leading by slim mar-
gins and need to secure a su-
permajority in that chamber.
Democratic leaders, however,
were already talking about the
opportunities and pitfalls of a
new era in state government.
“What the people have done is
to grant us a tremendous oppor-
tunity, but it comes with great re-
sponsibility,” said Darrell Stein-
berg, the Democratic Senate
leader. “We intend to approach it
with strength, with humility and
a sense of purpose. Every day
when I come to work, I’m going
to be aware of the risk of over-
playing it.”
For the past decade, California
has undergone a series of fiscal
crises as the Democratic-con-
trolled Legislature was unable to
bring in new revenue through
higher taxes, and Republicans
adamantly opposed to any new
taxes blocked the budgetary pro-
cess. Mr. Brown’s tax initiative is
expected to yield $6 billion annu-
ally over the next seven years
through temporary tax increases,
which he said would prevent fur-
ther cuts in spending, especially
in education.
Mr. Steinberg talked of “re-
investing in California in smart
ways.” But John A. Pérez, the As-
sembly speaker, was more re-
served, saying that he did not
consider a supermajority a broad
electoral mandate.
“Nothing changes,” Mr. Pérez,
a Democrat, said in an interview.
“The reality is that voters sent
the message to individual dis-
tricts. This wasn’t voters saying:
‘How do I cause a two-thirds ma-
jority to exist?’ ”
Proposition 30’s success, he
said, was not “an invitation to go
beyond that” in raising additional
taxes, adding that there was no
issue that needed to be put on the
ballot immediately.
It is not clear to what extent
the new revenue will restore
deep cuts that have been made in
education, health care and other
areas. But what is clear, experts
said, is that the Democrats will

state government.
face intense pressure from core
supporters like labor unions to in-
crease spending on social pro-
grams, possibly through further
tax increases.
“Those pressures will be very
large, and it’s going to be a real
test for the party to speak truth
to their own constituencies about
what’s possible,” said Raphael J.
Sonenshein, the executive direc-
tor at the Edmund G. “Pat”
Brown Institute of Public Affairs
at California State University,
Los Angeles. “What could really
turn this victory to disaster is if
the constituencies within the par-
ty begin to fight with each other
for scarce resources and say, for
example, I was the one who guar-
anteed the party’s victory in the
election.”
Mr. Brown repeatedly has em-
phasized the need for frugality,
saying recently that he had eaten
a two-day-old tuna sandwich as
proof of his personal commit-
ment. He ran for governor in 2010
on a pledge to put any tax in-
crease to the voters. But on
Wednesday, he hedged when
asked whether he would veto any
future tax increase that was ap-
proved only by the Legislature.
With Mr. Brown’s tax increase
now expected to help balance the
state budget, Democratic legisla-
tors may not have a pressing
need to exercise their new power.
“There’s kind of an irony in
this,” said Ethan Rarick, director
of the Robert T. Matsui Center for
Politics and Public Service at the
University of California, Berke-
ley. “The Democrats now have
two-thirds at just the moment
that they don’t need it, because
the voters just raised taxes for
them.”
But for Republican lawmakers,
whose defining mission in the
past decade has been to oppose
any tax increase, carving out a
new role will be critical. Regis-
tered Republicans dipped below
30 percent of the state’s elector-
ate for the first time this election.
“We believe we’re on the right
track,” Connie Conway, the As-
sembly minority leader, said of
the Republican focus on the
budget, jobs and the economy. “If
people aren’t hearing this, I need
to find out why. Is it my mes-
sage? Is it the way my message
is delivered? Is it the people I
have delivering the message? We
really want to take some time to
figure out what we need to do.”

AMARILLO, Tex. — George P.

Hispanics to join their ranks, Mr.
Bush has long been considered a
candidate in the making.
“George P. was recently our
guest down here in the Valley,
where we held an event for him,”
said a state representative, Aar-
on Pena, a Republican who repre-
sents part of Hidalgo County in
the Rio Grande Valley. “The level
of excitement was through the
roof.”
With Republicans having lost
the Hispanic vote in Tuesday’s
presidential election, he added,
“George P.’s candidacy is the sort
of remedy that we’re looking for.”
One Democratic state repre-
sentative, Trey Martinez Fischer
of San Antonio, had a different
view. He said that either Mr.
Bush would change the state Re-
publican Party or the party would
change him.
“Considering the extreme
views of those in charge, my
money is on the party changing
him,” he said.

Woman Linked to Petraeus Is a West Point Graduate and Lifelong High Achiever
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
WASHINGTON — Paula
Broadwell, whose affair with the
nation’s C.I.A. director led to his
resignation on Friday, was the
valedictorian of her high school
class and homecoming queen, a
fitness champion at West Point
with a graduate degree from Har-
vard, and a model for a machine
gun manufacturer.
It may have been those qual-
ities — and a string of achieve-
ments that began in her native
North Dakota, where she was
state student council president,
an all-state basketball player and
orchestra concertmistress — that
drew the attention of David H.
Petraeus, the nation’s top spy
and a four-star general, as the
two spent hours together for a bi-
ography of Mr. Petraeus that Ms.
Broadwell co-wrote.
Ms. Broadwell’s name burst
into public view on Friday
evening after Mr. Petraeus re-

agreed.
As for how the affair came to
light, the Congressional official
said that “it was portrayed to us
that the F.B.I. was investigating
something else and came upon
him. My impression is that the
F.B.I. stumbled across this.”
The Federal Bureau of Investi-
gation did not inform the Senate
and House Intelligence Commit-
tees about the inquiry until this
week, according to Congressional
officials, who noted that by law
the panels — and especially their
chairmen and ranking members
— are supposed to be told about
significant developments in the
intelligence arena. The Senate
committee plans to pursue the
question of why it was not told,
one official said.
The revelation of a secret in-
quiry into the head of the nation’s
premier spy agency raised ur-
gent questions about Mr. Pe-
traeus’s 14-month tenure at the

signed abruptly amid an F.B.I. in-

But Ms. Broadwell was hardly
shy about her interactions with
Mr. Petraeus as she promoted
her book, “All In: The Education
of General David Petraeus,” in
media appearances earlier this
year. She had unusual access, she
noted in promotional appear-
ances, taping many of her in-
terviews for her book while run-
ning six-minute miles with Mr.
Petraeus in the thin mountain air
of the Afghan capital.
Ms. Broadwell said in an in-
terview in February that Mr. Pe-
traeus was enjoying his new civil-
ian life at the C.I.A., where he be-
came director in September 2011.
“It was a huge growth period for
him, because he realized he
didn’t have to hide behind the
shield of all those medals and
stripes on his arm,” she said. Ms.
Broadwell was 39 at the time.

Obama to elevate him to head the
agency after leading the coun-
try’s war effort in Afghanistan.
White House officials said they
did not know about the affair un-
til this week, when Mr. Petraeus
informed them.
“After being married for over
37 years, I showed extremely
poor judgment by engaging in an
extramarital affair,” Mr. Petraeus
said in his statement, expressing
regret for his abrupt departure.
“Such behavior is unacceptable,
both as a husband and as the
leader of an organization such as
ours. This afternoon, the presi-
dent graciously accepted my res-
ignation.”
Mr. Petraeus’s admission and
resignation represent a remark-
able fall from grace for one of the
most prominent figures in Ameri-
ca’s modern military and intelli-
gence community, a commander
who helped lead the nation’s war-
time activities in the decade after
the Sept. 11 attacks and was cred-
ited with turning around the fail-
ing war effort in Iraq.

A self-described “soccer mom”
and an ironman triathlete, Ms.

she said: “A leader is a man who

She also used her Twitter ac-

ning mate by Mitt Romney, the
Republican candidate for presi-
dent.
Married with two children, she

fellow Army leaders often resent-
ed what they saw as a grasping
careerism.
“To an important degree, a
generation of officers tried to pat-
tern themselves after Petraeus,”
said Stephen Biddle, a military
scholar at George Washington
University who advised Mr. Pe-
traeus at times. “He was contro-
versial; a lot of people didn’t like
him. But everybody looked at
him as the model of what a mod-
ern general was to be.”
At the C.I.A., Mr. Petraeus
maintained a low profile, in con-
trast to the celebrity that sur-
rounded him as a general. But
since the attack in Benghazi, Lib-
ya, that killed four Americans
two months ago, critics had in-
creasingly pressured him to give
the agency’s account of the cha-
otic night. Mr. Petraeus was
scheduled to testify before a
closed Congressional hearing
next week.
White House officials say they
were informed on Wednesday
night that Mr. Petraeus was con-
sidering resigning because of an
extramarital affair. Intelligence
officials notified the president’s
national security staff. Mr. Oba-
ma at the time was on his way
back to Washington from Chi-
cago, where he had gone to re-
ceive election returns.
On Thursday morning, just be-
fore a staff meeting at the White
House, Mr. Obama was told. “He
was surprised, and he was disap-
pointed,” one senior administra-
tion official said. “You don’t ex-
pect to hear that the Thursday af-
ter you were re-elected.”
The president was in the White
House all day on Thursday, get-
ting back to his old routine after
months on the campaign trail.
That afternoon, Mr. Petraeus
came in to see him, and informed
him that he strongly believed he
had to resign.

since high school.
The biography says that Ms.
Broadwell received a degree in
political geography and systems
engineering from West Point,
where she was ranked No. 1 over
all in fitness in her class. She ben-
efited from a different ranking
scale for women, she told a re-
porter this year. But “I was still
in the top 5 percent if I’d been
ranked as a male,” she said.
The official Web site for Ms.
Broadwell’s book was taken
down Friday, but comments from
her echoed across the Internet.
“I was driven when I was
younger,” she was quoted as say-
ing on the Web site, noting her in-
duction into her high school’s hall
of fame. “Driven at West Point
where it was much more compet-
itive in that women were compet-
ing with men on many levels, and
I was driven in the military and
at Harvard, both competitive en-
vironments.”
Mr. Obama did not accept his
resignation right away. “He told
him, ‘I’ll think about it over-
night,’” the administration offi-
cial said. After months on the
road, the disclosure of a career-
killing extramarital affair from
his larger-than-life C.I.A. director
was the last thing that Mr. Oba-
ma was expecting, the official
said.
The president, officials said,
did not want Mr. Petraeus to
leave. But he ultimately decided
that he would not lean heavily on
him to stay. On Friday, he called
Mr. Petraeus and accepted the
resignation, “agreeing with Pe-
traeus’s judgment that he could-
n’t continue to lead the agency,” a
White House official said.
The White House had hoped to
keep the news under wraps until

news media, but as it was re-
ported on MSNBC, reporters
checking their e-mail confronted
Jay Carney, the press secretary,
who tried to duck the questions.
“I think I’ll let General Pe-
traeus address this,” Mr. Carney
said. Shortly after the news
broke, Mr. Obama released a
statement praising Mr. Petraeus
for his “extraordinary service” to
the country and expressing sup-
port for him and his wife, Holly.
“By any measure, through his
lifetime of service, David Pe-
traeus has made our country saf-
said. Without directly addressing
the affair, Mr. Obama added, “Go-
ing forward, my thoughts and
prayers are with Dave and Holly
Petraeus, who has done so much
to help military families through
her own work.”
A favorite of President George
W. Bush and once the subject of
intense speculation about his fu-
ture as a possible presidential
candidate, Mr. Petraeus man-
aged the awkward move from a
Republican administration to a
Democratic one. He was one of
the most telegenic faces of the
military during his tenure, testi-
fying frequently in Congress
about the country’s difficult bat-
tles overseas.
Mr. Petraeus clashed with Mr.
Obama in 2008 during a cam-
paign visit to Iraq, having what
David Plouffe, his campaign
manager, called in his book a
“healthy debate” over troop lev-
els in the country.
But the president’s decision to
tap Mr. Petraeus to command the
war in Afghanistan, and later
picking him to lead the C.I.A., ef-
fectively ended lingering con-
cerns among Obama political ad-
visers that the popular general

“But now,” she is quoted as
saying, “as a working mother of
two, I realize it is more difficult to
compete in certain areas. I think

On “The Daily Show,” Jon
Stewart summed up Ms. Broad-
well’s book by saying: “I would
say the real controversy here is,
is he awesome or incredibly awe-
some?”A short time later, Ms.
Broadwell challenged Mr. Stew-
art to a push-up contest, which
she won handily. Mr. Stewart had
to pay $1,000 to a veterans’ sup-
port group for each push-up she
did beyond his total. Ms. Broad-
well said that he wrote a check
for $20,000 on the spot.

Mr. Petraeus’s resignation and
the circumstances surrounding it
stunned military officers who
have served alongside him in war
zones over the past two decades
and the national security estab-
lishment he later served.
“It was a punch in the gut for
those of us who know him,” said
Col. Michael J. Meese, a profes-
sor at West Point who has known
Mr. Petraeus for a decade and
served as one of his top aides in
Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Dave’s decision to step down
represents the loss of one of our
nation’s most respected public
servants.” James R. Clapper, the
director of national intelligence,
said in a statement.
By acknowledging an extra-
marital affair, Mr. Petraeus, 60,
was confronting a sensitive issue
for a spy chief. Intelligence agen-
cies are often concerned about
the possibility that agents who
engage in such behavior could be
blackmailed for information.
Mr. Petraeus praised his col-
leagues at the C.I.A.’s headquar-
ters in Langley, Va., calling them
“truly exceptional in every re-
gard” and thanking them for
their service to the country. He
made it clear that his departure
was not how he had envisioned
ending a storied career in the mil-
itary and in intelligence.
“Teddy Roosevelt once ob-
served that life’s greatest gift is
the opportunity to work hard at
work worth doing,” he said. “I
will always treasure my opportu-
nity to have done that with you,
and I will always regret the cir-
cumstances that brought that
work with you to an end.”
Under Mr. Bush, Mr. Petraeus
was credited for helping to de-
velop and put in place the
“surge” in troops in Iraq that
helped wind down the war there.
Mr. Petraeus was moved to Af-
ghanistan in 2010 after Mr. Oba-
ma fired Gen. Stanley A. Mc-
Chrystal over comments he made
to a reporter.
In his statement on Friday, Mr.
Obama said that Michael J. Mo-
rell, the deputy director of the
C.I.A., would take over once
again as acting director, as he did
briefly after Leon E. Panetta left
the agency last year.
Among those who might suc-
ceed Mr. Petraeus permanently
is John O. Brennan, the presi-
dent’s adviser for domestic secu-
rity and counterterrorism. Mr.
Brennan was considered for
C.I.A. director before Mr. Oba-
ma’s term began but withdrew
amid criticism from some of the
president’s liberal supporters.
Another possibility is Michael G.
Vickers, the top Pentagon intelli-
gence policy official and a former
C.I.A. paramilitary officer.

A Flooded Mess That Was a Medical Gem

Damage to NYU Langone Center in Manhattan May Cost $1 Billion
By ANEMONA HARTOCOLLIS
The federal government’s emergency
management chief trudged through
darkened subterranean hallways cov-
ered with silt and muddy water Friday,
as he toured one of New York City’s top
academic medical centers in the af-
termath of Hurricane Sandy. The base-
ment of the complex, NYU Langone
Medical Center in Manhattan, smelled
like the hold of a ship — a mixture of
diesel oil and water.
“You’re going to deal with the FUD —
fear, uncertainty and doubt,” W. Craig
Fugate, administrator of the Federal
projects and the cost of paying employ-
ees not to work.
As the hurricane raged, the East Riv-
er filled the basement of the medical
center, at 32nd Street and First Avenue,
knocked out emergency power and ne-
cessitated the evacuation of more than
300 patients over 13 hours in raging
wind, rain and darkness. It disrupted
medical school classes and shut down
high-level research projects operating
with federal grants.
Mr. Fugate arrived to inspect the
damage and help plot the institution’s
recovery, the advance guard of what
aides said would be a hospital task
tions because their grants were ticking
away on deadline or because they must
publish or perish. Outside the hospital,
tanks of liquid nitrogen testified to the
efforts to keep research materials from
spoiling.
In inky blackness, the group stood at
the brink of the animal section of the
Smilow Research Center, where rodents
for experiments had been kept, but they
did not go inside. On Nov. 3, a memo
sent to NYU Langone researchers said
the animal section, or vivarium, was
“completely unrecoverable.”
Dr. Grossman said that scientists had
managed to save some rodents by rais-

Emergency Management Agency, told
NYU Langone officials afterward, as
they retreated to a conference room to
catalog the losses. “Don’t look at this.
Think about what’s next.”
NYU Langone, with its combination
of clinical, research and academic facili-
ties, may have been the New York City
hospital that was most devastated by
Hurricane Sandy. What’s next is a spec-
tacularly expensive cleanup.
Dr. Robert I. Grossman, dean and
chief executive of NYU Langone, look-
ing pale and weary — as if he were, in-
deed, struggling to hold back the FUD
— estimated that the storm could cost
the hospital $700 million to $1 billion.
His estimate included cleanup, rebuild-
ing, lost revenue, interrupted research
force. He was brought in by Senator
Charles E. Schumer of New York, who
kept saying that there was nothing like
seeing the damage firsthand to under-
stand how profound it really was.
“What was that movie — ‘Conta-
gion?’” Mr. Schumer said, marveling at
the hellish scene.
NYU Langone’s patients, a major
source of revenue, have been scattered
to other hospitals, creating a risk that
they may never return. Dr. Grossman
said he was counting on those patients’
loyalty.
John Sexton, president of New York
University, which includes NYU Lan-
gone, and who also met with Mr.
Fugate, raised fears that researchers
might be lured away to other institu-
ing their cages to higher ground.
A modernized lecture hall with raked
seats used by medical students had
been filled “like a bathtub,” he said,
though it was dry on Friday. The library,
he said, “is basically gone.”
Four magnetic resonance scanners, a
linear accelerator and gamma knife sur-
gery equipment, kept in the basement,
were now worthless. Dr. Grossman said
that in the future, he wanted to move
such equipment, which is very heavy, to
higher floors.
Electronic medical records were pro-
tected by a server in New Jersey, he
said.

Water poured into the Brooklyn-

Sandy, and engineers have not

By ELISABETH ROSENTHAL
Nearly two weeks after Hurricane
Sandy struck, the vital arteries that bring
cars, trucks and subways into New York
City’s transportation network have recov-

He described the scene as “surreal,”

long tunnel as it started filling with water

Chasing a Post-Storm Boogeyman Through Neighborhoods Gone Dark

In the days after the landfall of Hurri-
cane Sandy, nine New York City police
officers and state parole officers collect-
ed the names and addresses of 40 con-
victed felons who were on parole and
living in neighborhoods gone
MICHAEL dark from blackouts.
The officers knocked on
WILSON their doors “to remind them
we’re looking at them,” said
CRIME
SCENE Paul J. Browne, the chief po-
lice spokesman. “We think
some might be responsible for burgla-
ries, and we want to make sure the oth-
er ones know we’re out there and look-
ing to suppress any burglaries that are
ongoing.”
The hunt was on for that most deeply
despised boogeyman who creeps in be-
hind catastrophes: the looter, here to
prey on the helpless huddled in the
dark. And the police were not the only
ones on the lookout.
News photographs around the city
and the region showed handmade signs

in front of buildings and houses, with
threats to shoot any looters, or dump
them in a river, or crucify them, or some
combination therein.
So how many looters were there? The
short answer seems to be not many. The
police reported a 6 percent rise in bur-
glaries for the week of the storm in the
city, against an overall drop in crime in
general. There were 379 burglaries from
Oct. 29, when the storm arrived,
through the following Sunday, the police
said. That is 22 more burglaries than the
same week last year. And yet, those are
figures that many seem to doubt, as an-
ecdotes of looters outnumber the ones
on police reports.
Take Richard Chan, who, when The
Associated Press found him this week,
was holed up in his home on Staten Is-
land — with a sword. “A replica of a
samurai sword,” he told me a little later.
Regarding looting, “there was enough
that I heard about,” he said, adding that
he had seen a stranger in black knock-
ing on a neighbor’s window the day af-
ter the storm. When Mr. Chan called out
to the man, he fled.
The police said there were 10 arrests

There were reports of looting at a
Rent-A-Center in Coney Island.
for four burglaries on Staten Island in
four days after the storm. Half of those
suspects were accused of breaking into
the same house together on Martineau
Street. “In terms of wholesale looting,”
Mr. Browne said, “we didn’t see it.”
There was looting in the Rockaways
in Queens and on Mermaid Avenue in
Coney Island, Brooklyn, where a typical
case looked like this:
A police officer saw a young man
break into a dark convenience store the
morning after the storm, wearing “a
hooded sweatshirt fitted closely to de-
fendant’s body with nothing bulging or
protruding,” according to a criminal
complaint.
The man emerged from the store with
“pockets bulging and overflowing with
various items.” Among them: Kit-Kat
bars, Twix bars, Snickers bars, a Sterno
candle and $10.57 in loose change, ac-
cording to the complaint.
The man, Jakik Banks, 17, was arrest-
ed and charged with burglary and other
crimes. “A guy named Dostoyevsky
wrote a pretty good story about that,
didn’t he?” said his defense lawyer,
Philip J. Smallman, who suggested the
charges were overly harsh because the
defendant was considered to be looting.
Later that Tuesday, a 51-year-old man
was arrested on a charge of stealing
from the same store, taking four flash-
lights and $427.96 that, presumably, Mr.
Banks had left behind, a complaint in
that case states. Around the same time,
a teenager was caught outside a store
nearby with a flashlight and $15 that the
police said he stole, telling officers that
he was making sure everything was
O.K. in there.
Three men were arrested after offi-
cers saw them lugging something
heavy down Mermaid. It turned out to
be a small safe. Officers broke open the
safe, found a pistol inside and charged
the men with possession of a weapon.
No one has come forward to report the
gun being stolen.
The most blatant story of looting that
day is something of a mystery. Two
managers at a Rent-A-Center on Mer-
maid, as well as several people who live
nearby, have told me that burglars
came through the store’s broken win-
dows and made off with televisions, lap-
tops and video games. But the police
said no such crime had been reported as
of Friday. “We expect there will be more
burglaries reported as people come
back,” Mr. Browne said.
It was unclear Friday how many of
those 40 convicted felons on parole —
among them burglars and murderers —
were home when the police came
knocking or how many crimes were pre-
vented by this tactic, which continues
“as we speak,” Mr. Browne said. But
one statistic stands at zero: the number
of reported crucifixions since the storm.

War is hell, but there is one as-
pect of the Korean War that John
T. Meyers, a retired Marine
Corps sergeant who lives in Up-
per Manhattan, remembers fond-
ly every Veterans Day.
The memory is about one of his
best war buddies — a popular
sergeant who was decorated for
battleground bravery. On Friday
morning, Mr. Meyer, who lives in
Inwood, pulled out a well-worn
photograph he brought back
from Korea of the sergeant graz-
ing in a field.
“She was a heck of a work
horse — she could carry 12
rounds of ammo,” he said. “She
was a dependable, beautiful ani-
mal and she was sociable.”
Mr. Meyers was speaking of
Staff Sgt. Reckless, a Mongolian
mare who won two Purple Hearts
and earned the rank of staff ser-
geant for carrying ammunition in
battle. Mr. Meyers was close to
the horse, both on the battlefield,
where he was a gunner, and also
in the mess tent, where he often

time she’d see me, she’d trot
over,” said Mr. Meyers, a retired
shipping clerk. “I gave her an ap-
ple a day. She knew exactly
where I slept and she’d come in
the tent and lick my face to wake
me up, so she could eat.”
Mr. Meyers recalled Reckless
carrying heavy rounds for the
powerful anti-tank guns the unit
used, known as recoilless rifles.
“That gun had a heck of a blast,
but it wouldn’t bother Reckless,”
he said. “Any animals in the area
would take off, but that horse
would stay calm.”
Veterans Day, which falls on
Sunday, is always a special day
for Mr. Meyers because it is the
day after his birthday. On Satur-
day he will be 79, which is also the
237th anniversary of the Marine
Corps itself. It also happens to be
the 58th anniversary of the day
that Reckless touched American
soil after serving in Korea.
She became well known in the
1950s as America’s greatest
equine war hero, the subject of an
article in The Saturday Evening
Post that was published while
she was still in Korea. It helped
ignite a public outcry to get the
Marine Corps to bring her to the
United States.
“In the 1950s, Reckless was as
popular as Rin Tin Tin and Las-
sie,” said Robin Hutton, an author
ing a book on Reckless. In 1955,
the horse appeared on TV with
Art Linkletter and made many
other public appearances after
the war, Ms. Hutton said. Plans to
bring her to New York City for an
appearance on “The Ed Sullivan
Show” were scuttled by a storm,
and a planned film fell through,
she said. Reckless soon drifted
into obscurity.
Ms. Hutton helped gain sup-
port for a memorial to Reckless
that is scheduled to open in July
at the National Museum of the
Marine Corps in Triangle, Va.,
near the Marine Corps base in
Quantico, Va. It will include a
statue in Semper Fidelis Memori-
al Park next to the museum and
an exhibition of items, including
one of Reckless’s horseshoes and
photographs.

love with the horse, whom they

“You had guys feeding her ev-

“The Marine Corps had this
terrible chocolate pudding that
was just horrible stuff,” Mr. Mey-
ers recalled. “All the guys would
just dump it in this big 55-gallon
garbage can,” he said. “Well, who

She eats the pudding, and then
she got the worst case of diarrhea

Mr. Meyers comes from a mili-

served in the Army in World War
I and his leg was blown off in the
Battle of the Marne. Mr. Meyers’

in the 1980s and is now an equi-
ties trader who also lives in

ing to a 1955 book, “Reckless:
Pride of the Marines,” by Marine
Lt. Col. Andrew Geer, a Marine
commander who served with
Reckless and wrote articles
about her for The Saturday
Evening Post in the 1950s.
He described her braving fly-
ing bullets during one particular-
ly fierce battle and continuing to
carry ammunition and wounded
soldiers even after being hit by
shrapnel.
Reckless is the only animal to
ever hold an official rank in any
military service, Ms. Hutton said.
Her two Purple Heart medals
and a multitude of others were
pinned to the scarlet and gold
blanket she wore at appearances.
She was retired on Nov. 10, 1960,
with full military honors. She
lived at the stables at Camp Pen-
dleton in California and died in
1968 at age 20.
Mr. Meyers, who lives alone in
a ground-floor apartment deco-
rated with snapshots of his
grandchildren and testaments to
his service, stared at an old pho-
tograph of the horse who fought
and drank alongside the mem-
bers of his Marine regiment.
“That horse left a lasting im-
pression on me,” Mr. Meyers
said.

IMPACT OF A STORM
Nursing Home in Queens Is Faulted Over Patients’ Care After Hurricane
From Page A1
the Rockaways,” said Kenneth A.
Johnson, who is the guardian for
his sick brother. “We called and
called and called, but no one at
Promenade picked up or ever
called us back.”
It is not known how many
Promenade patients remain lost
to relatives.
Interviews with employees in-
dicate that Promenade failed to
carry out basic responsibilities,
including adding staff for the
storm as required by the state,
stocking enough medicine and
flashlights, and preparing pa-
tients’ records in case of evacua-
tion. The nursing home adminis-
trator, who runs the home day to
day, left the city — on what he
said was a “personal matter” —
on Oct. 28, as the hurricane ap-
proached. The nursing director
left the next afternoon to check
on her sick husband; she did not
return until Oct. 30, after the
storm had blown over.
“My only priority is patient
safety and health, and everything
you’ve asked about Promenade
flies in the face of that,” said the
state health commissioner, Dr.
Nirav R. Shah. “We are investi-
gating aggressively.”
Still, there are questions about
the state’s handling of the situa-
tion, too. A year ago, when a less-
powerful Tropical Storm Irene
loomed, Dr. Shah ordered many
nursing homes in the Rockaways
to evacuate. But he declined to do
so last week in the face of Hurri-
cane Sandy, even though the
nursing homes lay in an evacua-
tion zone. Dr. Shah said he gave
the homes the option of not evac-
uating, based on the risks of mov-
ing the elderly and the frail. Also,
nursing homes complained bit-
terly about the cost of evacua-
tions last year.
Most of those nursing homes,
even those much better prepared
than Promenade, suffered crush-
ing damage from the storm, and
most have since evacuated their
patients.
This is not the first time that
Promenade’s response to a storm
has raised alarm: Last year,
when the storm began to blow on-
shore, Promenade was danger-
ously slow to react, state officials
say, and sent its patients off with-
out staff members and often
without medical records. The
State Health Department did not
investigate or fine Promenade in
that case.
“It was absolute chaos; every-
one was crying,” said Dionne
Keisha Vanable, a nurse and
longtime employee.
As the storm approached last
week, the State Health Depart-
ment ordered all nursing homes
to stay at 150 percent of normal
staff levels, to stock three days’
worth of food and medicine, and
to make sure to have a working
generator in case power failed.

In Protection of Crossings

Engineers and a Houston water
engineer. “If you think what hap-
pened is unacceptable — and I’d
say it was — you have to do
something. Because I can guar-
antee you this kind of storm will
happen again.”
In interviews, several engi-
neers said they were shocked
that New York City had not done
far more to safeguard its tunnels,
especially the Brooklyn-Battery,
the longest underwater tunnel in
the United States, which has a
notoriously low-lying entrance.
While the rising seas and ex-
treme weather associated with
climate change have raised the
risk, engineers also point out that
because tunnels have a limited
number of entrances and exits,
they are not that hard to protect.
After a close call during Hurri-
cane Katrina, Mobile, Ala., rejig-
gered the ventilation system of a
major tunnel to prevent damage
from floodwater; the city has
studied building up ground
around entrances.
Houston has installed water-
tight doors to protect its pedestri-
an tunnels from floodwater —
much like the sealing emergency
doors on cruise ships. The Mid-
town Tunnel in Norfolk, Virginia,
has long had a floodgate, which is
tested twice a year.
Richard Dawson, director of
the Center for Earth Systems En-
gineering Research at Newcastle
University in England, said he
“was quite surprised there
weren’t floodgates” on New
York’s road and subway tunnels.
Many stations of the London Un-
derground have them.
In recognition of the growing
risk, the Department of Home-
land Security in January success-
fully tested a giant protective in-
The Promenade nursing home was out of power, out of food and short on staff during Hurricane Sandy, staff members said.
Promenade’s owners — Moses
Vogel, his son Solomon Vogel and
at least one other partner — have
run the home since the 1970s. In
two interviews, Solomon Vogel
blamed the storm and state offi-
cials for the nursing home’s prob-
lems. He said the home had in-
creased its staffing for the storm
to 150 percent and had enough
medicine, flashlights and food.
“What was crazy is the New
York State Department of Health
told us not to evacuate before the
storm, so we sheltered in place,”
Mr. Vogel said. “I had to call them
about 100 times before I was able
to get the Office of Emergency
Management to get them out,” he
added, referring to the New York
City agency.
He suggested that Promenade
should be commended for carry-
ing out a safe evacuation in a
blackout after a huge storm.
“That everyone got out safely
was unbelievable,” he said.
But Dr. Shah and four Prome-
nade workers dispute nearly ev-
ery one of Mr. Vogel’s assertions.
In the days leading up to the
storm, Dr. Shah noted, “I was
talking to managers in just about
every facility except Promenade.
Not only did we not hear from
them; we actively tried to contact
Promenade” and heard nothing.
Promenade nurses said the
home was short of medications
and food. Nurses began to make
lists of patients and relatives to
contact, but one nurse said that
an owner told them over a loud-
speaker to stop, as he intended to
ride out the storm.
“I was told to pull face sheets

in minutes when filled with wa-
ter, like a car air bag. Before Hur-
ricane Sandy, the Metropolitan

ticated methods, using plywood
to cover some subway grates and
piling sandbags at entrances.
Asked whether the Transporta-
tion Authority was exploring new
flood-prevention measures, Aar-
on Donovan, an agency spokes-
man, said: “At this point, our fo-
cus is on the immediate need to
restore the tunnel. Long-term
planning can and will take place
once this is behind us.”
The Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel
had never closed for weather,
even as a precaution, until Tropi-
cal Storm Irene last year.
But water levels on the south-
ern end of Manhattan have risen
about nine inches since the
Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel was
opened in 1940. It is a significant
increase, since its entrance is just
a few feet above sea level.
The Queen-Midtown and Hol-
land Tunnels also flooded, though
less severely, during Hurricane
Sandy. Both have now reopened.
“I always knew Manhattan’s
tunnels could flood,” said Scott
Douglass, a coastal engineer at
the University of South Alabama.
“But a computer model is a lot
different than seeing pictures
with water pouring in.”
Building codes and engineer-
ing practices meant to protect ur-
ban infrastructure from weather-
related disasters have generally
not kept pace with evolving sci-
entific knowledge, computer-as-
sisted engineering capabilities
and a shifting climate, experts
said. The problem is amplified for
older structures like the Brook-
lyn-Battery Tunnel.
“They were using slide rules to

were all sorts of holes in the
records,” said the nurse, Alana
Steele, referring to the patients’
documents that contain vital in-
formation, including which medi-
cations they take. “Whenever I
work there, I worry about my li-
cense and my liability.”
A nursing home sits on either
side of Promenade. Each had a
generator placed off the ground
or walled-off from the water.
Promenade’s generator, by con-
trast, sat closer to ground level.

and relying on limited historical
weather data to define a worst-
case flood. New computer mod-
eling provides guidance and solu-
tions. After one of its coastal
plants narrowly escaped flooding
during Hurricane Ivan in 2004,
Chevron asked Dr. Douglass to
model its vulnerability. The result
was an 18 foot-high sea wall that
prevented damage during Hurri-
cane Katrina.
The same model estimated a
storm surge could be nearly 30
feet at another Gulf location, Dr.
Douglass said, adding: “People
say that couldn’t happen. But yes
it could. That is what we should
be doing now in every coastal
city.”

when asked to insure tunnels, he

Ms. Vanable worked the over-

and were short on aides.
“We never have extra staff,

Vanable said.
She described the scene in the

and the Promenade fell dark.
Emergency lights never came on.

opinion: clearly yes.”
But protection can be costly
and cities tend to respond only af-
ter disasters. Houston installed
the watertight doors in its pedes-
trian tunnels only after flooding
caused extensive damage during
record rainfall from Tropical
Storm Alison in 2001.
“We’ll save hundreds of mil-
lions by closing half a dozen
doors,” said Mr. Klotz, the past
president of the engineers’ soci-
ety. “It was amazing how little
they had to do.”
Asked what would happen if a
similar storm hit again, Mr.
Mende, the manager of the
Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, shook
his head, calling Hurricane
Sandy “an act of God,” as pumps
whirred on the barren toll plaza
in Red Hook the background.
He said he was proud of his
maintenance staff’s work in re-
sponse to the disaster. While en-
gineers said the flooding could
have been readily prevented,
Mr. Klotz said: “Whoever owns
that tunnel knows exactly what it
would take to keep water out in
case of a flood. and it’s not high
tech. They just didn’t want to
spend the money.”

ran short. Some workers failed to
show up for assigned shifts. Ear-
ly Tuesday morning, the staff in
Park Nursing Home took pity
and slapped together 150 sand-
wiches for the staff members and
patients of Promenade.
Promenade was dank and cold,
and without lights. Dr. Shah, the
health commissioner, asked for
help from the hospitals of North
Shore-LIJ Health System, which
sent two safety officers out to the
Rockaways at first light that
Tuesday. Every street the officers
tried was blocked by floodwaters
or fire trucks fighting a blaze sev-
eral hundred feet from the nurs-
ing home.
They returned several hours
later, and Tuesday night, a cara-
van of ambulance crews showed
up to evacuate patients. Emer-
gency Medical Service crews
struggled to carry wheelchairs
and patients with severe demen-
tia down the stairs to waiting am-
bulances. But some records and
medications did not follow.
“Some records went with the
wrong patients to other sites,”
said Brenda Stratten, a nurse in
charge of the federal Disaster
Medical Assistance Team based
at the emergency shelter at Leh-
man College in the Bronx. “I had
a few patients where more
records arrived Day 2 and 3.”
The ambulances took Prome-
nade residents to several differ-
ent shelters. Slightly more than
100 patients were placed in four
dimly lighted classrooms at
Brooklyn Technical High School
in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Few of
these patients, according to one
Deep in a Flooded Tunnel,
Mud and a Little Bit of Light
By JOHN SCHWARTZ
The water is almost gone, but
inches of sticky mud remain, of-
fering a squelch when shoes sink
in and a little smacking sound
when they pull away.
This is the midpoint of the
Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel and its
lowest spot, 140 feet below a ven-
tilation building that sits on a
spur off Governors Island in New
York Harbor. The building has
machines that normally force air
down shafts into the two-mile-
long tunnel, which has remained
closed since it was flooded during
Hurricane Sandy. Now, however,
engineers are using those deep
shafts to pump water up.
A steel stairway within the
ventilation building leads up to
the access ports for the airways,
where workers have snaked six-
inch-wide hoses deep into the
darkness below. Outside, four big
diesel engines roar, circulating
hydraulic fluid through the
pumps at high speed, moving the
water out of the tunnel and into
the harbor. “We never thought
we would use these shafts for wa-
ter,” said Romolo De Santis, a fa-
cility engineer for the Metropoli-
tan Transportation Authority.
But Mr. De Santis and his col-
leagues never thought that they
would have to get 86 million gal-
lons of water out of the tunnel, ei-
ther. These pumps, along with
others in the Battery and Brook-
lyn, have been drawing out as
much as 10,000 gallons a minute.
Around a corner in the build-
ing’s labyrinth, a passage leads
down seven flights into the tun-
nel. At their worst, the flood-
waters filled the tunnel and
reached up several flights.
This week, the scene at the bot-
tom was harshly lighted by enor-
mous lamps and the air smelled
like mud and diesel. The water

federal and two city and officials
who were there, had medical face
sheets or proper medications.
Federal and city emergency
workers grew so concerned that
they conducted finger-stick and
other blood tests on some pa-
tients, they said.
“It was as if they had been
abandoned,” said a worker at the
Brooklyn Tech shelter, who spoke
on the condition of anonymity be-
cause he had been told not to
speak to reporters. “The shelter
staff worked heroically, but they
were completely in the dark.”
Later, on Oct. 31., Promenade
staff members appeared at the
shelter, greeting their patients
with great hugs and helping to
care for them. Within five days,
however, Promenade had tempo-
rarily withdrawn these familiar
faces from the shelters, saying it
was too expensive to pay them,
other shelter workers said.
In the days to come, the sickest
of Promenade’s patients were
farmed out to nursing homes
across the region. Broadlawn
Manor Nursing and Rehabilita-
tion Center, 30 miles away in Am-
ityville, N.Y., received 10 Prome-
nade patients on Nov. 1. They ar-
rived with medications but miss-
ing papers including instructions
for end-of-life preferences.
For a week, Broadlawn social
workers tried to reach Prome-
nade. Finally, on Wednesday,
nine days after the storm first hit,
a Promenade social worker
called and promised more infor-
mation.
“That’s the last we heard,” said
Terry Lynam, a spokesman for
North Shore-LIJ Health System,
which owns Broadlawn.
Relatives of patients described
similar frustrations as they tried
to get in touch with Promenade,
efforts run through with anxiety
and fear.
Some remain in limbo. Lillian
DiViesti, with help from her son,
Paul, has searched more than a
week for her mother, Marie Sala-
tino, a 93-year-old retired union
seamstress from Sheepshead
Bay, Brooklyn, who is blind and
has dementia.
Promenade called the day of
the storm and said they were not
evacuating. “We haven’t heard
from them since,” Paul DiViesti
said. The family dialed the nurs-
ing home, city agencies, the po-
lice and 311.
The State Health Department
has not yet completed a database
that would help family members
find loved ones. Louisiana put in
place such a system in 2008 after
Hurricane Gustav.
Mrs. Salatino remains lost in
the storm’s diaspora.
In an interview with The New
York Times, Solomon Vogel said
on Thursday that he would check
his database and get in touch
soon. “We have two social work-
ers working full time contacting
family members about the loca-
tions of their loved ones,” he said.
Ms. DiViesti’s concern is more
primal.
“I don’t know where my moth-
er is,” she said. “I want to know
where my mother is.”
was largely gone, though several
feet of it sloshed below the road-
way in the space for conduits and
vents, and more dripped from the
waterlogged ceiling.
Once the water from Hurricane
Sandy’s surge is truly gone, the
muck will be scooped away by
front-end loaders and other
earth-moving machines, and the
walls will be washed down so
that structural engineers can in-
spect and figure out what must
be done before cars and buses
can return.
The Coast Guard has provided
most of the pumps at this site,
and a private contractor for the
transportation authority brought
others. The Army Corps of Engi-
neers is also working on the
project.
Kevin G. Wagner is among
those helping to get the tunnel
working again, and he knows wa-
ter. He came to the city in the af-
termath of the hurricane from his
home in St. Bernard Parish in
Louisiana, near New Orleans. Af-
ter Katrina, he worked as a
project manager removing water
from his parish, where he and
most of his family lived, in the
town of Chalmette. His in-laws’
home had water above the kitch-
en counter — which might not
sound like much, except that the
kitchen was on the second floor.
He said that when he and his
colleagues in New Orleans saw
the pictures from the Jersey
Shore, it felt hauntingly familiar.
“Everything,” he said, “looked
exactly like what happened in
Katrina.” So he was happy to be
part of the effort to do for the
Northeast what the rest of the
country did for his home.
“I think the people of New York
and New Jersey are just like the
people of New Orleans,” he said.
“They love their city. They’re go-
ing to come back.”

IMPACT OF A STORM

Parents Weigh Dangers of Cold Classrooms Against Risks of Missing Class

By KYLE SPENCER
The past few mornings, par-
ents at a few dozen New York
City schools gave their children
an especially warm send-off.
Rachel Leinweber sent her son
with thin gloves that he could
type with on school computers.
Abbey Seiden packed her daugh-
ter hot macaroni and cheese in a
thermos for lunch and sent her to
school in warm tights. Wool
sweaters and Ugg boots were
again popular fashion items in
the hallways.
About three dozen schools in
areas that suffered flooding
opened to students this week
without heat. By Friday, that
number was down to about 20. At
one of those, New Explorations
Into Science, Technology and
Math, a school for gifted children
on the Lower East Side, students
sat for algebra and biology tests
in parkas and mittens, took gym
class with leggings pulled over
sweat pants, and lined the
nurse’s office asking permission
to go home.
“It’s been intense,” said Ms.
Leinweber, whose son is a fifth
grader at the school. “Not a great
situation.”
She said a lot of parents were
worried about the cold, but were
also worried about their children
missing school and accruing ab-
sences, which can hurt their ap-
plications to selective middle and
high schools. “There was no
choice about our kids being ab-
sent,” said Ms. Leinweber, who
lives in Brooklyn.
Some members of the school’s
Parent Teacher Association said
they offered to buy space heaters
for classrooms, but were told the
heaters were a safety hazard.
Alex Vadukul and Vivian Yee con-
tributed reporting.
New Explorations Into Science, Technology and Math in Manhattan is one of about 20 schools that still had no heat as of Friday.
A teacher in the school, which
runs from kindergarten to 12th
grade and is known as NEST+m,
said it was hard to get students to
concentrate.
She had been regularly check-
ing the classroom temperature
with a thermometer application
on her cellphone and found that
on Friday afternoon, tempera-
tures were hovering at 48 de-
grees. “Hoods have been up the
whole time,” said the teacher,
who insisted on anonymity for
fear of angering the principal.
On one of the school’s parent
e-mail lists, emotions ran hot at
times.
“I am wondering if any parent
here will not send the kid(s) to
school tomorrow because I am
debating it in my own head but I
cannot decide,” wrote one.
Another parent responded: “A
14 yo Pakistani girl took a bullet
to the head because she advocat-
ed for education. I think I’ll bun-
dle my daughter up, and be
thankful for all of our blessings
here.”
CHANG W. LEE/THE NEW YORK TIMES
That prompted a third parent:
“Was that really necessary? Lets
not snap at each other here.”
Health officials say schools are
safe to open without heat, even at
these temperatures, if students
are properly clothed. But accord-
ing to Irwin Redlener, the di-
rector of the National Center for
Disaster Preparedness at Colum-
bia University’s Mailman School
of Public Health, it may have
been tough for students to focus
inside some schools.
“Once you get below the low
50s, you get kids just trying to
stay warm,” he said, adding that
under these conditions students
with certain types of asthma
should be carefully watched.
Erin Hughes, a spokeswoman
for the Education Department,
said that the city had been dili-

layers so that they do
not fall behind.
gent about informing parents
about schools that had no heat,
and urging them to dress their
children warmly.
“We have also been providing
warm meals at schools,” she said.
Attendance at NEST+m does
not seem to have suffered; ac-
cording to the Education Depart-
ment, 93 percent of students at-
tended Friday, just under the
school’s average attendance rate.
Leslie Converse, the mother of a
kindergartner, said sending the
children to a chilly school was
still far better than having them
“cooped up” at home. “If it were
30 below it would be a different
story,” she said.
Ms. Seiden, an acupuncturist
whose daughter is a kindergart-
ner at Public School 234 in Tri-
BeCa, which had its heat restored
Friday, saw the week as an op-
portunity for her daughter to live
a rugged existence. “It’s like be-
ing in the country,” she said.

NEW YORK CITY NEW JERSEY WESTCHESTER LONG ISLAND

POWER POWER POWER HOUSING

Rockaways Still Largely Blacked Out
The Rockaway Peninsula remained the area worst
hit by power failures as residents in homes with
no light or heat grew increasingly frustrated with
the Long Island Power Authority, which provides
electricity there. More than 31,000 customers,
nearly the entire peninsula, were without power
as of Friday afternoon, the authority reported on
its Web site. In the rest of the city, Con Edison re-
ported that it had restored power to all but about
16,000 customers. But even in many areas where
the power had been restored, some homes and
buildings remained without electricity. The utility
said it could not return power to about 35,000 cus-
tomers in flood-damaged areas like Howard Beach
in Queens and Red Hook and Sheepshead Bay in
Brooklyn until electricians certified their homes
as safe.
PUBLIC HOUSING
Housing Authority Buildings Suffer
More than 21,000 residents in public housing re-
mained without heat or hot water on Friday, ac-
cording to the New York City Housing Authority,
and another 12,800 were without power. Most of
the problems were in Brooklyn, where hundreds
of apartments in buildings in Coney Island and
Red Hook remained without heat or electricity or
both.
HOMEOWNER RELIEF
Emergency Repair Plan Announced
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced a pro-
gram that, in partnership with FEMA, will send
teams of contractors into neighborhoods hit hard
by the hurricane to help speed home repairs, with-
out any immediate cost to the homeowners. Peo-
ple can learn about and sign up for the program,
called NYC Rapid Repairs, at NYC.gov or by call-
ing 311.
TRANSPORTATION
Ferry From the Rockaways
Mr. Bloomberg announced a temporary ferry
service beginning Monday between the Rocka-
ways and Manhattan. The service is being pro-
vided in partnership with SeaStreak. Schedules
and departure locations are available at
www.seastreak.com and at 311. One-way fares will
be $2. The Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel remained
closed by flood damage. Subway service is operat-
ing normally on most lines, with some exceptions.
Service remains suspended on the N train be-
tween 59th Street and Coney Island in Brooklyn,
the A train in Far Rockaway, the S Rockaway Park
Shuttle, the 1 train between Chambers Street and
South Ferry, the R train between Manhattan and
Brooklyn and the J train between Chambers and
Broad Streets. Metropolitan Transportation Au-
thority officials did not estimate when service
would be restored. RAY RIVERA
Lights Coming Back for Some
Public Service Electric and Gas said that 55,000
customers still had no power late Friday. “Con-
trary to rumors,” it said, it had an ample stock of
poles and equipment needed to make repairs. An
equipment failure was repaired Thursday night,
restoring power to Elizabeth, Westfield, Wood-
bridge and 12 other communities. Jersey Central
Power and Light had 8,200 line workers on the job
and said power would return for most of the
168,000 customers still without power by Saturday
night. P.S.E.&G. indirectly confirmed complaints
that individual power-failure reports were being
wrongly deleted when power was restored gener-
ally in an area. “If our automated system indicates
that power has been restored to your area and you
have no power, please follow the prompts to place
a new ‘no power’ order,” the utility advised.
J.C.P.&L. customers have reported similar experi-
ences. Measured by the sheer numbers of resi-
dents, the worst-off J.C.P.&.L. towns were on the
Jersey Shore. But in percentage terms, western
New Jersey towns like Walpack, Far Hills, Chester
and Tewksbury had larger proportions of custom-
ers without power. Many of them, lacking munici-
pal water, require electricity for well water.
TRANSPORTATION
Hoboken Gets Weekend Repairs
New Jersey Transit said the Main Line and Port
Jervis Line would terminate in Secaucus rather
than Hoboken over the weekend to allow work to
proceed uninterrupted in Hoboken, where several
electrical substations were submerged. Weekend
passengers can transfer to the Northeast Corridor
Line in Secaucus to reach Manhattan; on week-
days, those trains are bypassing Secaucus be-
cause of crowding on them. The PATH system,
whose Hoboken, World Trade Center and Ex-
change Place stations were devastated, is running
trains between Journal Square and 33rd Street in
Manhattan, but skipping Christopher Street and
Ninth Street because those stations are too small
to handle the anticipated crowds safely. A spokes-
man, Ron Marsico, said PATH hoped to extend
service to Newark Penn Station and Harrison by
early next week, then to Exchange Place.
SHELTER
Population Down to 2,350
The state said 2,350 people remained in shelters
on Friday. In Atlantic City, the last 24 units of pub-
lic housing that had been evacuated were expect-
ed to be reoccupied on Friday, said Thomas J.
Hannon, the director of operations.
SCHOOLS
Some Closings Continue
Twenty percent of New Jersey’s schools remained
closed on Friday. DAVID M. HALBFINGER
12,000 Customers Still in the Dark
Consolidated Edison reported that fewer than
12,000 of its 348,000 customers in the county were
still without power on Friday evening. The munici-
palities of Cortlandt, Greenburgh, New Castle,
New Rochelle, North Castle and Yonkers each still
had more than 1,000 customers without Con Ed
power.
TRANSPORTATION
Gas Lines Are Shorter
Gasoline lines continued to ease, with county in-
spectors reporting deliveries increasing, more sta-
tions operating and lines approaching near-nor-
mal lengths. Donna Greene, a spokeswoman for
the county executive, Robert P. Astorino, ex-
plained the contrast with the scarcity in New York
City by noting that gas supply had never been
much of an issue in the county. Now that most
Westchester gas stations have power, they can
function normally, so panic buying has been re-
duced. All three Metro-North Railroad lines are
operating on a standard schedule along their
Westchester routes.
TELEPHONE
Phone Service May Require Electricity
Verizon and Cablevision said that the statistics on
people without telephone service were deceptive
because many customers get their telephone, In-
ternet and television through equipment that re-
quires electricity, so when power is restored,
phone service resumes. But Cablevision’s Web
site said that almost 2,500 of its customers re-
mained without service on Friday afternoon even
though they had electricity, and an additional
15,000 households still have no phone service.
SHELTER
Three Emergency Shelters Still Open
The county announced that all but three shelters
had closed. Those three are in Yonkers, Chappa-
qua and Cortlandt.
GOVERNMENT ACTION
States of Emergency Are Lifted
The county’s emergency operations center is no
longer operating around the clock, but will be open
on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Scarsdale re-
scinded its state of emergency on Friday morning
and the City of Rye allowed its state of emergency
to expire. The county also arranged to extend the
time for Medicare beneficiaries who want to
change their standard health plan and Part D cov-
erage for prescription drugs in 2013. The original
deadline was Dec. 7, but because of the storm, ben-
eficiaries can call (800) MEDICARE, (800) 633-
4227, and representatives will help them make a
choice even after Dec. 7, the county said.
JOSEPH BERGER
No Tally of Homes Lost
Government officials and local utilities still lacked
firm statistics on how many homes had simply
washed away or been damaged beyond repair
during the hurricane. “We don’t have a good num-
ber on that,” Vanessa Baird-Streeter, a spokes-
woman for the Suffolk County executive’s office,
said Friday.
POWER
Alternative to Inspections Proposed
According to the Long Island Power Authority’s
Web site, the number of homes on Long Island
lacking power dropped to about 130,000 on Friday
from more than 200,000 on Thursday. Some of
them lack power because the utility had initially
said that they would have to undergo inspections
first. The Suffolk County executive, Steve Bellone,
has pushed for alternatives to such inspections,
like having customers shut off circuit breakers to
equipment they suspect has been flooded. The au-
thority’s original plan would have left people in
the dark until December, he said.
TRANSPORTATION
L.I.R.R. Uncertain on Regular Service
Long Island Rail Road trains will maintain regular
weekend schedules on Saturday and Sunday on all
branches other than the Long Beach branch,
where the railroad was hit hardest by the storm.
Long Beach commuters may be shunted to buses
for a while. “The prognosis there is not immedi-
ate” said Aaron Donovan, a spokesman for the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority. He said it
was unclear whether the system would be able to
resume regular weekday service on Monday.
Weekday schedules are more taxing on the sys-
tem than weekend ones, and two of the four East
River tunnels that the railroad usually uses are
still out of use.
CONNECTICUT
POWER
The News Is Mostly Good
“We are done, done, done with storms stuff,” said
Mitch Gross, a spokesman for Connecticut Light
and Power, the utility that provides power to 149 of
the state’s 169 municipalities. About 400 homes,
many in Old Lyme, Greenwich and Westport, were
excluded from the upbeat reports and have not re-
connected to the power grid because of lingering
safety concerns.
TRANSPORTATION
Most Rail Service Is Normal
Metro-North train service to Connecticut is back
to normal except on the New Canaan branch,
where damage was “fairly extensive,” according
to Mr. Donovan. ALISON LEIGH COWAN

IMPACT OF A STORM
Behind New York Gas Lines, Warnings and Crossed Fingers
From Page A1
tioning and also mused aloud in
the Sunday meeting that perhaps
the best option was to simply al-
low the free market to dictate
how people would find gas.
But by Wednesday, there were
renewed concerns that the gas
crunch was not easing in the five
boroughs and parts of Long Is-
land — even as it was in New Jer-
sey and the suburbs north of the
city. By the next day, officials in
New York City and in Nassau and
Suffolk Counties were ready to
embrace rationing.
“The reaction on this side of
the Hudson was slow, and New
Yorkers have paid the price,” said
Anthony Michael Sabino, a law-
yer who specializes in the oil and
gas industry and lives in Nassau
County. “The crisis became much
worse because when people were
left to their own devices, a panic
set in.”
Compounding the problem was
the lack of a centralized way for
officials to coordinate with coun-
terparts in the region’s compli-
cated fuel-distribution network —
as the city works with utilities
like Consolidated Edison.
New York City’s rationing ef-
fort coincided with one that be-
gan on Friday in Nassau and Suf-
folk and followed odd-even rules
imposed for 12 counties in New
Jersey. On Friday (Nov. 9), cars
with either odd numbers or let-
ters at the end of their plates
were able to get gas. On even
days, cars with even numbers or
0 at the end of their plates will be
able to get gas.
Throughout the area, long lines
continued. There were no reports
of arrests, though at some sta-
tions, drivers with the wrong
numbers at the end of their plates
were seen getting gas.
At a Hess station in Green-
point, Brooklyn, the wait for gas
on Friday was about 20 minutes
— far shorter than it had been in
recent days, said Tony Dazzo, 35,
an engineer who lives in Queens.
“They should have done it
sooner,” he said. “It gets half the
people off the line and moves it a
lot more quickly.”
Even with a gas-rationing pro-
gram in place, Mr. Bloomberg
said the shortage might persist
for days to come; and oil industry
experts were even gloomier, cau-

Mr. Cuomo’s aides declined to
discuss any internal delibera-
tions about the rationing, but not-
ed that he had repeatedly singled
out the gas shortage as a major
problem.
“If you want to paralyze a re-
gion as we’ve seen, just stop the
fuel delivery for two days,” he
said at a news briefing on Friday.
The storm cut off power to
thousands of gas stations across
the state, but perhaps more crit-
ically, it caused widespread dam-
age to refineries and a network of
ports and terminals that deliver
gas to the pumps. But as Mr. Cuo-
mo and industry executives have
repeatedly warned, panic buying
and hoarding among drivers
have only slowed recovery ef-
forts by placing more stress on
the entire system.
In New Jersey, Gov. Chris
Christie imposed a gas-rationing
system last Saturday.
“The major problem is the ter-
minals, but the mayor should
have followed Governor Christie

A Brief History of Long Lines and Lots of Impatience
By JAMES BARRON
The last time New York City
had odd-even gasoline pur-
chase rules, they were in effect
for 79 days, and the time before
that, 65 days.
This time, the reasons were
different. Fuel distribution was
disrupted by Hurricane Sandy
— among other things, the
storm forced tankers bound for
the New York area to wait it out
and stay beyond the reach of its
punishing winds. Also, many
service stations had gas but no
electricity, so their pumps could
not function.
In 1973, the Arab oil embargo
choked supplies nationwide. In
1979, a new government took
power during the Iranian revo-
lution, and fresh supply worries
set off panic buying and long
lines at gas stations. There
were fistfights at some stations
as drivers tried to cut in line. At
least one driver was arrested
on charges of pulling a gun on a
gas station attendant who
would not fill his car, with odd-
numbered plates, on an even-
numbered day.
“It was hectic,” recalled Stan-
ley Gaj, who in 1979 was the
manager of a filling station at
run out.” Placing extra strain on
supplies has been the demand
from emergency responders and
people using generators.
The center of the problem was
Linden, N.J., oil industry execu-
tives said, the heart of the metro-
politan supply chain and a place
where New York officials have no
jurisdiction. It is where the Co-
lonial pipeline ends, bringing pe-
troleum products up from the
Gulf of Mexico, and where the
Buckeye pipeline begins taking
petroleum products to Long Is-
land and other areas.
Six- to eight-foot waves surged
through the area, crashing into a
Phillips 66 refinery and into a
cluster of terminals on or close to
the Arthur Kill waterway that re-
ceives refined products from the
Colonial pipeline and local refin-
eries for shipment throughout
the region.
THE NEW YORK TIMES NEW YORK SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2012
In 1979, gas lines formed at the Hess station at 44th Street and
10th Avenue in Manhattan. Lines were there again Friday.
Queens Boulevard and Albion
Avenue in Elmhurst, Queens.
“It was chaotic. We opened up
at I think 6 or 7 in the morning,
and we only stayed open until
we ran out. When we ran out,
that was it until the next day.”
(Mr. Gaj, who now lives in Mid-
dle Village, Queens, said that he
left the station in the mid-1980s
and became a bus driver.)
The odd-even sales began in
In addition, while the main
pipelines have recovered power,
20 or so terminals in and around
Linden will take more time to
build to normal operations. Eight
to 14 are in various stages of re-
pair and limited operations, while
6 are still out of commission.
Docks were flooded and dam-
aged, along with equipment that
lifts refined product to the barges
from pipelines and tanks. The
surge blew out control-room win-
dows and lifted and damaged ma-
rine docks and lifting equipment
essential for putting the products
on the barges.
“Hurricane Sandy gave us a
major shot to our distribution
network,” said James Benton, the
director of the New Jersey Petro-
leum Council, a trade organiza-
tion. He said the northeaster was
a blow, as well, since “it delayed

The extent of the damage to
the gas-distribution network was
not fully understood by state and
city officials, said Ralph Bombar-
diere, executive director of the
New York State Association of
Service Stations and Repair
Shops.
A New York State energy office
created amid gas shortages in the
1970s was dissolved in the 1990s.
And, Mr. Bombardier said, there
was little if any coordination or
monitoring of the entire distribu-
tion network before the hurri-
cane. “There’s more damage
than anybody knew,” he said.
“There was no plan or diagram of
how this industry worked or who
you can call to find out what’s
happening. ”

MICHAEL NAGLE FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES
In May of that year, Presi-
dent Jimmy Carter gave gover-
nors the power to regulate gas-
oline sales in their states. That
included the power to impose
odd-even systems. Three weeks
later, Gov. Hugh L. Carey an-
nounced an odd-even plan for
the city and four suburban
counties — Nassau, Suffolk,
Westchester and Rockland.
New Jersey and Connecticut
soon followed suit.
Five years earlier, Mayor
Abraham D. Beame called the
gas outlook “desperate” and
threatened to start allocating
gas himself if the state did not.
The governor at the time,
Malcolm Wilson, initially resist-
ed, but relented in February
1974, saying the gasoline emer-
gency was endangering public
health and safety. The odd-even
rules now in effect brought back
memories for New Yorkers old
enough to remember the earlier
rounds. Robert Sinclair Jr., now
a spokesman for AAA New
York, remembered a conversa-
tion with a cousin in 1979.

this girl out,” he said, “but she
didn’t appreciate how hard it
was to get gasoline. He was

lished a task force before the hur-
ricane arrived that took steps to
prevent a gas shortage.
In New York, some critics have
also charged that state and city
officials simply took too long to
act when the gas crisis started
escalating. “I think that the city,
state and federal government
need to do a better job of coordi-
nating their responses to this gas
crisis,” said Councilman David G.
Greenfield of Brooklyn. “Quite
frankly, it’s shocking.”
Howard Wolfson, a deputy city
mayor, said that discussions
about gas rationing began short-
ly after the storm ended but took
on urgency only after it became
clear that it would continue long-
er than anyone in the industry or
region had said. “Within the last
48 hours,” Mr. Wolfson said, “it
was clear that the problem
wasn’t getting any better.”

For Elderly,
Extra Peril
Accompanies
Power Loss
By SHERI FINK
For more than a week since
Hurricane Sandy, a bone-chilling
draft has wafted through the hall-
ways of Knickerbocker Village,
the hulking housing complex on
the Lower East Side.
On Monday night, as tempera-
tures outside dipped below freez-
ing, a chill pervaded the fifth-
floor apartment where 101-year-
old Pao Chu Hsieh wore a turtle-
neck, a coat and two blankets.
She complained that she was
cold, said her son, Kam Won Lo,
78; before the storm, she evacu-
ated from her home at St. Marga-
ret’s House to stay with him.
Around 2 a.m. Tuesday, Mrs.
Hsieh began coughing uncontrol-
lably. She seemed to have diffi-
culty breathing and speaking. A
family member called 911. By the
time ambulance workers arrived,
Mr. Lo said, she was unrespon-
sive. They performed CPR, but
could not revive her.
Mrs. Hsieh’s death is an exam-
ple of what officials and advo-
cates say is the peril of older peo-
ple living in buildings that still
lack power and heat.
On Wednesday night, citing
Mrs. Hsieh’s death, a FEMA offi-
cial urged city authorities to pro-
vide alternate accommodations
to the residents of Knickerbocker
Village, where about 700 seniors
had been living without heat
since the hurricane.
Lilliam Barrios-Paoli, commis-
sioner of New York City’s De-
partment for the Aging, said in an
interview, however, that resi-
dents in mandatory evacuation
areas had already been offered
opportunities to leave, and that
the decision was up to the people
themselves. “It’s a fine line be-
tween people’s freedom and what
I perceive to be an emergency
and a discomfort,” Ms. Barrios-
Paoli said.
Knickerbocker Village, which
includes a large population of
low- and moderate-income peo-
ple near their 70s and older, was
also in the mandatory evacuation
area, but Mr. Lo said he thought
his family would be safe there.
“It’s such an old, sturdy build-
ing,” he said through tears.
The chief medical examiner’s
office has ruled that Mrs. Hsieh
died of natural causes, according
to Ellen Borakove, a spokeswom-
an for the office. Ms. Borakove
said the police told an investiga-
tor for the office that Mr. Lo’s
apartment was not cold. But
more than a dozen residents and
employees at the complex said
late this week that the complex
still did not have heat.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg
said Friday that his main focus
was on helping tens of thousands
of people — about half of whom
live in public housing — get pow-
er back.
As of Friday afternoon, more
than 1,000 older people remained
in three large Manhattan com-
plexes that lacked services in-
cluding heat, water or electricity,
according to the office of Scott M.
Stringer, the Manhattan borough
president. There were probably
many smaller buildings in similar
conditions, Mr. Stringer’s office
added.
The deaths of at least two other
New Yorkers in their 70s were re-
lated to the power failures, city
officials said. George O’Regan,
70, of New Lane on Staten Island,
died on Oct. 31 after falling and
breaking his neck in an unlighted
hallway. William McKeon, 78,
who lived on Shorefront Parkway
in Queens, died Tuesday of head
injuries after falling down a dark-
ened staircase. Building manag-
ers at other high-rises that house
older people reported cases in
which residents fell and broke
limbs in dark stairways.
Ghislaine Chery, a nurse with
the Visiting Nurse Service of
New York who has visited sev-
eral big complexes since the
storm, compared their conditions
to her native country. “This is so
sad because they have to live like
they’re living right now in Haiti,”
she said.
Some are so cold that they are
using their ovens and stovetop
gas burners for heat.
The odor of gas “hits your face
as soon as the door opens,” said
Carlina Rivera, a program man-
ager for Good Old Lower East
Side, a nonprofit group helping
residents. “A lot of people are
really desperate. They are tired
of sleeping in their coats and they
don’t have enough blankets.”
On Friday, Pao Chu Hsieh’s be-
reaved son went out to buy can-
dles for her funeral on Saturday.
His wife, 73, had bruises on her
face. She said she had collapsed
after making dozens of trips up
the staircase with water that she
collected from a fire hydrant.
Winnie Hu, Randy Leonard and
Jeffrey E. Singer contributed re-
porting.

The Fiscal Cliff Opener
Mr. Obama sounds as if he’s ready to fight. Mr. Boehner sounds like Mr. Romney
On Tuesday, voters re-elected a president who prom-
ised to fight for higher taxes on the wealthy, for more pub-
lic investment and for careful cuts in spending. Three
days later, President Obama challenged Republicans to
extend the Bush tax cuts for the middle class, right now,
and said he would not accept a deal that does not require
the wealthy to pay a bigger share.
The House speaker, John Boehner, recycled positions
that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan already offered, and vot-
ers rejected. He suggested that Congress just put off deal-
ing with the fiscal cliff, allow all the Bush tax cuts to re-
main in place, and then negotiate tax reforms to lower
rates even further while closing unspecified loopholes.
These were the opening hands in negotiations that
start next week: Mr. Boehner’s weak hand and Mr. Oba-
ma’s strong one.
Both sides have acknowledged the need to avoid the
fiscal cliff — the tax increases and spending cuts that will
take effect starting in January if Congress does not act
and that will total nearly $700 billion next year alone. In a
news conference on Friday morning, Mr. Boehner offered
conciliatory words that made it sound as though his cau-
cus was at last open to the obvious answers it has blocked
for four years. But behind the words, his party’s immedi-
ate goal was, as always, to extend the Bush-era tax cuts
for the rich.
Mr. Boehner did not rule out raising tax revenues al-
together. But his talk of eventually lowering rates while
closing unnamed loopholes ignores the fact that higher
taxes for top earners are needed now to raise revenue for
public investments that are vital to economic recovery.
The most expedient and fairest way to do that is to allow
the high-end Bush tax cuts to expire. Until the rich pay
more, there will be no later consensus on spending cuts
that eventually will be needed to curb long-term deficits.
Mr. Obama was explicit that the real challenge for
Congress is to foster job creation and economic growth.

The justices will reckon with Congress’s power to address persistent discrimination
The Supreme Court decided on Friday to review Sec-
tion 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which has been crucial
in combating efforts to disenfranchise minority voters.
The justices should uphold the validity of the section,
which requires nine states and parts of several others
with deep histories of racial discrimination to get permis-
sion from the Justice Department or a federal court before
making any changes to their voting rules.
The case, Shelby County v. Holder, was brought by an
Alabama county, which contends that Section 5 intrudes
unconstitutionally on the sovereign authority of states
and that federal review of proposed voting changes, once
needed to end legal segregation, is no longer required.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Just this
year, Republican efforts to block the votes of minorities
and the poor — which were rejected again and again by
federal judges relying on the Voting Rights Act, including
Section 5 — have made that utterly clear.

Three Strikes Made Fairer
California’s voters softened one of the nation’s most
destructive and unfair sentencing policies this week when
they approved a ballot initiative revising the infamous
three-strikes law of 1994, which imposes a life sentence for
any felony conviction — no matter how minor — if the de-
fendant has two previous serious convictions.
The revised law imposes a life sentence only when
the third felony conviction is serious or violent. It also au-
thorizes the courts to resentence thousands of three-strik-
ers whose third offenses were not violent or serious, as
long as they do not pose a serious risk to public safety.
The three-strikes law epitomized the mass-imprison-
ment fever that swept the nation in recent decades. Soar-

Ex-Offenders and the Vote
TO THE EDITOR:
Re “The Struggle to Cast a Vote:
Wrongly Turning Away Ex-Offenders”
(editorial, Nov. 4):
Turning away people with criminal
histories who are legally entitled to vote
is not just a problem for other states
around the country; it is a problem
right here in New York.
Just two weeks ago, we were contact-
ed by a woman who was incorrectly told
by the Board of Elections that she could
not vote because of her conviction. Un-
fortunately, this is not an isolated oc-
currence. New York allows people to
vote if they are on probation but not on
parole, a distinction that makes no
sense and is lost on many local election
boards.
As a result, boards often wrongly in-
form people who are on probation or
have completed parole that they are in-
eligible to vote.
New York should overhaul its voting
laws and encourage civic participation
by ensuring that all people with convic-
tions who complete their prison terms
or who were never in prison can vote.

Migrants

ATINOS might have made the piv-
otal difference in Tuesday’s
election, especially in battle-
grounds like Nevada, Colorado,
Florida and Virginia. Repub-
licans are already debating how to con-
vert more of them — along with women,
blacks and young people — from the
Democratic camp.
Comprehensive immigration reform
has been an elusive goal of both parties
for two decades and is a priority of Presi-
dent Obama’s second term. But it will be
hard to achieve unless the United States
also re-envisions its approach to Mexico
and other Latin American countries. The
United States has historically shifted its
Latin American policies according to its
national interests. This won’t change, but
the growing Latino voting bloc is likely to
bring about a more nuanced approach.
For decades, public opinion about our
southern neighbors — particularly with
respect to immigration — has moved
sharply to the right, with devastating
consequences for transnational relations
and for Latin American migrants in the
United States. It was not always so.
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Good Neigh-
bor Policy stressed cooperative hemi-
spheric relations reliant on cultural and
commercial exchange, and — despite pe-
riodic interventions and exploitative la-
bor practices that contradicted it — that
approach remained a pragmatic tenet of
United States-Latin American relations
after World War II. It aimed to appeal to
voters of Latin American descent (at the
time, mostly Mexicans, Cubans, Puerto
Ricans and Dominicans); to insulate the
United States against charges of imperi-
alism and discrimination; and to buffer
Latin America from Communist influ-
ence. Politicians in Mexico and the Unit-
ed States encouraged cross-border tour-
ism, business ventures, student ex-
change programs, shopping trips and
joint cultural celebrations.
The logic of gradual cooperation was
so powerful that in 1962 even Barry M.
Goldwater, the conservative Arizona sen-
ator, predicted that by 2012, “the Mexican
border will become as the Canadian bor-
der, a free one, with the formalities and
red tape of ingress and egress cut to a
minimum so that the residents of both
countries can travel back and forth
across the line as if it was not there.”
Cold war politics, which heightened
suspicion of foreigners, complicated mat-
ters. The 1952 McCarran-Walter Act took
aim at the Mexican border as a doorway
for Communist infiltration. In 1954, the
Border Patrol began Operation Wetback,
which rounded up and deported many
thousands of Mexicans. Many more left
voluntarily — “self-deported,” in today’s
terms. And it is often forgotten that much
migration was initiated by upheaval orig-
inating with American policies. From
Roosevelt onward, presidents sanctioned
antidemocratic violence in countries like
Panama, Cuba, Guatemala and the Do-
minican Republic. When their interest
waned, they left behind violent unrest
and military dictatorships, culminating
in civil wars like those in Guatemala and
El Salvador.
Today, American politicians continue
to preach the benefits of harmonious re-
lations with Latin America, primarily in
commerce. But when it comes to immi-
gration, much of the past 40 years has
been spent building walls rather than
bridges. The United States has replaced
the Mexican border’s barbed wire with a
steel fence. The war on drugs, fueled as
much by American drug consumers as
by American and Mexican policing, has
militarized the border further. Nativist
vigilantes north of the border have de-
tained and tortured Mexican immigrants.
Increasingly tied to extended families in
Latin America by phone, Internet, remit-
tances and travel, American Latinos
watched these developments with alarm.
Republicans might do well to remem-
ber Ronald Reagan’s visit to Sonora,
Mexico, shortly before the 1980 election.
He called Mexico America’s most im-
portant ally and said undocumented im-
migrants had a right to work in the Unit-
ed States. In his second term he signed
the Immigration Reform and Control Act,
which included amnesty provisions that
naturalized millions of Mexicans, even
though the law also militarized the bor-
der by expanding the Border Patrol.
Anti-immigrant politics have hardened
since then. Mr. Obama, working with
Congressional Republicans, must restore
more humane policies, beginning with
comprehensive immigration reform that
will ensure citizenship for undocumented
children and a path to legal status for oth-
er undocumented people. He must also
demilitarize the border.
Americans shouldn’t see comprehen-
sive immigration reform as a domestic
policy that protects American sovereign-
ty; instead, it should be a cross-border
initiative with a vision of warm relations
in the hemisphere. Border enforcement,
criminal prosecution, fence construction
and drug wars must be part of the de-
bate. But more emphasis needs to be
placed on enabling movement through-
out the Americas by workers, families,
students and businesspeople. This ap-
proach will strengthen our partnerships
and also our national security.
However imperfectly, leaders from
Roosevelt forward knew that friendly re-
lationships with Latin America encour-
aged the assimilation and loyalty of His-
panics in the United States. If our leaders
weren’t reminded of this lesson on elec-
tion night, surely they will be soon.   Ø

Election Data Dive
Since this may be my last column
about the 2012 elections, let’s have some
fun. Allow me to arm you with a col-
lection of facts and data about the elec-
tion results that you can use at your
next cocktail party, during your next
coffee break or during your next P.T.A.
meeting.
First, a comment about the exit polls
from which most of these data are
drawn: They were conducted only in 30
states. And, unfortunately, the balance
of states polled tilted heavily toward
those won by President Obama. Of the
25 states Obama won, exit polls were
conducted in all but three. Obama also
won the District of Columbia, which had
no exit polls. Of the 24 states Mitt Rom-
ney won, exit polls were conducted only
in eight.
(Obama is leading in Florida, which
would be a 26th state won by Obama
and a state for which there are exit
polls. However, The New York Times
had not yet called the state at the time
of publication.)
With those caveats, let’s dive in:
• My analysis of the 2008 election
found that even if every black person in

cocktail party.
America had stayed home on Election
Day, Obama would still have won the
presidency. That’s because the white
vote and Hispanic vote were strong
enough to push him over the needed 270
votes to win the Electoral College.
This year is a different story. This
year, his path to victory required a
broader coalition.
Without the Democratic black vote
joining with that of liberal whites and
Hispanics on Tuesday, Obama would
likely have lost half the states that he
won. This fact may embolden those who
say that the president should more di-
rectly address issues facing the African-
American community.
• There may have been a backlash
against voter suppression laws, bring-
ing more minorities to the polls, not few-
er. The share of Hispanic voters rose in
many states won by Obama. That can
be attributed both to the surging His-
panic population in the country and to
the Obama campaign’s incredible get-
out-the-vote operation. It is less clear
why the black vote held steady or grew
in many of those states. In Ohio, for ex-
ample, blacks jumped from being 11 per-
Hurricanes and Hot Baby Names
By Jonah Berger
PHILADELPHIA
I
N this year’s first-grade classes,
teachers might notice an unusual
number of Kimberlys, Karens and
Kevins. This follows an earlier
bump for Alexes and Amandas, and
other names that start with A. Why? One
factor might be . . . the weather.
As part of our research on trends and
how ideas catch on, my colleagues and I
analyzed more than 125 years of data on
the popularity of baby names.
Many, many Jessicas, Jacobs,
Rivers and even Maxxes.
We found that names that be-
gin with K increased 9 percent
after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
And names that start with A
were 7 percent more common af-
ter Hurricane Andrew in 1992. It
wasn’t that people named their
babies after the storms. (In fact,
fewer people named their chil-
dren Katrina and Andrew after
each respective hurricane.)
Rather, it was similar sounding
names that spiked after partic-
ular storms. Predicting cultural
trends is of great interest to
companies, consumers and cul-
tural critics. Will a new song be
a hit or a flop? Will turquoise be
the new black? Will a particular
public policy idea catch on or fiz-
zle fast? There are big stakes —
big rewards — in being able to
accurately forecast cultural
trends.
Predicting the future, howev-
er is notoriously hard to do. It’s
easy to find examples of things
that have caught on. Low-fat
Greek yogurt. Tablet computers.
“Fifty Shades of Grey.” But even
“experts” have difficulty identifying hits
before they take off. J. K. Rowling sent
her first Harry Potter book to 12 pub-
lishing houses, all of which turned her
down. Warner Brothers sank over $120
million into “The Adventures of Pluto
Nash,” which took in less than $8 million
at the box office. For every “futurist”
who predicted the organic food move-
ment, there were 10 who predicted that
“mechanized hugging booths” will be the
wave of the future.
The data on first names that I mined
with my colleagues Eric Bradlow, Alex
Braunstein and Yao Zhang suggests an
identifiable indicator of future popularity.
Conveniently, there’s no shortage of data.
Everyone has a first name. And previous

and its owner’s grip grows tighter.
• Romney won nine of the 11 states
that were once in the Confederacy.
• Romney also won eight of the 10
states with the lowest population densi-
ty: Alaska, Wyoming, Montana, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, Nebraska
and Utah. Obama won New Mexico and
Nevada. (Hello. Hello. Hello. Is there an
echo in here?)
• Romney’s biggest margin of vic-
tory came in Utah, home of the Mormon
Church. Utah was one of three states in
which Romney won every county. The
other two were West Virginia and Okla-
homa. Obama won every county in four
states: Hawaii, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Vermont.
• This year was the first presidential
election in which there were more
Asian-American voters (11 percent) in
California than African-American ones
(8 percent). In 2008, 6 percent were
Asian-American and 10 percent were
African-American. In fact, there were
more Asian-American voters than Afri-
can-American voters in Washington
and Oregon, the other two Pacific Coast
states, this year, too.
• Among the states in which exit
polls were conducted, Obama won the
lowest percentage of the white vote in
the state with the highest percentage of
black voters. That state was the ever-
reliable Mississippi, where Romney
made his famous “I like grits” com-
ment. Thirty-six percent of the voters in
Mississippi are black. Obama won a
mere 10 percent of the white vote there.
Conversely, Obama won one of his
highest percentages of white voters in
the state with the fewest minority vot-
ers: Maine. Ninety-five percent of
Maine’s voters were white, and 57 per-
cent of them voted for Obama. That ties
with one other state for the highest per-
cent of whites voting for Obama: Mas-
sachusetts, where 86 percent of the vot-
ers are white.
In fact, Obama won the white vote
only in states with small minority vot-
ing populations. The others Obama won
were Iowa (93 percent white), New
Hampshire (93 percent white), Oregon
(88 percent white), Connecticut (79 per-
cent white) and Washington State (76
percent white).
This is quite a curious phenomenon.
• Obama won all four states that be-
gin with “New” (New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New Mexico and New York), but
he lost all five that begin with a direction

Dakota, South Dakota and West Virgin-

research has shown that names affect ev-
erything from how attractive people

they get from future employers.
But what explains the appeal of a par-
ticular name? A key factor is the associa-
tion a particular name conjures. Sharon
might sound nice if it reminds you of your
best friend in high school; Jennifer would
likely be less appealing if you had an evil
boss or crazy aunt with that name. Pop-
ularity plays a part in name selection too.

and people may avoid it.
Beyond the name itself, we found that
the popularity of other similar-sounding
names plays a determining role. People
are more likely to name their child Madi-
son when lots of Morgans, Michaels or
other babies with names that begin with
M have been born recently. Or when
more Katelyns, Allisons or other young
children are born whose names end with

with which we hear certain names. The
more damaging the storm, the more fre-
quently we hear its name. Think about
how often you’ve heard the word Sandy
during the last two weeks.
Are people so easily influenced? Ap-
parently. We like what we know or what
looks and sounds similar to what we
know. Modern art might seem grating
the first time we see it, but after you’ve
seen a couple of Picassos, Kandinskys
are more pleasing to the eye. The same is
true for names. Sandy brings to mind
negative thoughts at the moment, but
hearing it over and over again
should make names that start
with an S sound better. Even if
we have no idea that the hurri-
cane is what made them sound
so appealing.
The lure of the familiar has
evolutionary benefits. It helps
children bond with their caregiv-
ers, guides animals toward
plants that are safe to eat and
helps spouses stick together
through mood swings, piles of
dirty clothes left on the floor and
other annoying things that nev-
er seem to go away.
Similarity shapes popularity
because it makes things feel fa-
miliar. Whether a certain song
takes off or a new car becomes
immensely popular depends not
only on the car or song itself but
also on how similar they are to
others that have been popular
recently. Greek yogurt sales
have been buoyed by the big
success of low-carb, high-pro-
tein diets. “Fifty Shades” is simi-
lar to another recent block-
buster book, the implicitly sexu-
al vampire fantasy “Twilight.”
Politics can play a part, too.
The name Barack still hasn’t
broken into the top 1,000 names for boys
in the United States (Mitt hasn’t either.)
But given the recent attention it has re-
ceived, teachers shouldn’t be surprised if
they start seeing more Benjamins or
Beckys in the next few years.
The names Stephanie, Steve and Su-
san (as well as Randy, Mandy and Bran-
di) may also soon see an increase in pop-
ularity. In view of the damage the hurri-
cane caused, these names sound some-
how nicer than Sandy, but also nicely fa-
miliar.

No Heat
Till
Christmas?
On Friday morning, I drove out to the
Rockaways with Nan Shipley, a 48-year-
old real estate broker and mother of
three. Though we barely know each oth-
er, she had been sending me e-mails all
week, updating me about the problems
facing residents of the Rockaways, the
thin peninsula on the southern edge of
Queens that had been decimated by
Hurricane Sandy.
Shipley, who lives in Manhattan, had
been going out there every day since
last Saturday, volunteering in the hard-
hit enclave of Belle Harbor, where a Ro-
man Catholic church, St. Francis de
Sales, had essentially been taken over
by relief workers. She had expected to
help out for a day or two, assuming that
the Red Cross, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, or state and city
workers would quickly take over.
But that hadn’t happened. As one day
bled into the next, the volunteers had or-
ganized themselves. Leaders emerged
who, with no prior experience, figured
out how to help people in a disaster.
They found restaurants willing to do-
nate hot meals, rented buses to truck in
more volunteers and brought in supplies
to help residents battle the cold weather.
By Friday, when I arrived in Belle
Harbor with Shipley, the church had
been transformed into a model of effi-
cient distribution. A volunteer disaster
relief organization, Team Rubicon, made
up of military veterans, had parachuted

in and organized it to a fare-thee-well:
meals given out on this side, diapers and
baby food over there. To the extent that
there was a government presence, it
consisted mainly of a Medicare truck
parked outside.
Near the church, I could see homes
that had burned down. Most of the other
houses were uninhabitable. Cars were
sometimes strewed up on sidewalks.
Nobody had power. “Things have gotten
a lot better,” Shipley said, as I looked at
the scene in amazement. “The Sanita-
tion Department has done a great job of
We drove farther east to Far Rocka-
way, a much poorer area. There were
long lines at various churches that were
serving as distribution centers. Al-
though there were police officers every-
where, the hard work of getting Far
Rockaway residents help had, once
again, fallen to volunteers.
At the Church of the Nazarene in Far
Rockaway, however, I did see a FEMA
presence; I was told that FEMA had ar-
rived on Thursday. You would think that
FEMA, with all its expertise, would be
coordinating the relief effort. But you
would be wrong. When I asked one
FEMA official what his workers were
doing, he said they were mainly trying
to make sure that residents applied for
assistance. That is not insignificant, of
course, but it’s not exactly leading the
charge.
In a nearby building, the office of the
local city councilman, James Sanders
Jr., had been transformed into a mini-
disaster-relief headquarters. Sanders
sounded deeply frustrated. “It is getting
cold out here,” he said.
He had just come from a meeting with
the Long Island Power Authority, where
he had been informed that no one would
get power until an electrician had in-
spected the homes. “I told them that
was impossible,” he said. “People aren’t
going to have heat until Christmas.”
When I called Mayor Michael Bloom-
berg’s office to ask why so much of the
relief effort had been left to volunteers, I
got immense pushback. Cas Holloway,
one of Bloomberg’s deputy mayors, told
me that the city had handed out two mil-
lion meals. The city was coordinating
with the Salvation Army, he said, and
was a big presence in the Rockaways. It
had set up five distribution centers
there. It was paying food trucks to give
out free food.
Be that as it may, I can tell you that
that is not the experience of many vol-
unteers — or residents — of the Rocka-
ways. Before the storm hit, Mayor
Bloomberg said that New York City
didn’t need FEMA’s help because the
city had “everything under control.” You
don’t have to spend much time in
Queens to realize that New York City
needs all the help it can get. It is ex-
tremely fortunate that it is getting so
much help from volunteers.
Before we left the Rockaways, Shipley
and I met a man who had come into
Sanders’s office looking for help. He had
two children, he said, including a
2-month-old baby who had had bronchi-
tis and had just gotten out of the hospi-
tal. “Our house is too cold,” he kept say-
ing, wiping tears from his eyes. “The
Ø baby will get sick again. We need a place
to stay.”
After talking to the man, Shipley
walked back to the Church of the Naza-
rene to see if one of the FEMA officials
could do something.
A few minutes later, she came back
frowning. “He said to call 911,” she
said. Ø

Make Room
For Deals
After Turkey
This Year
By STEPHANIE CLIFFORD
There was an outcry last year
when some retailers opened at
midnight on Thanksgiving, with
workers and shoppers saying the
holiday should be reserved for
family, not spent lining up for the
start of the Christmas shopping
season.
This year, retailers are re-
sponding to the criticism by
opening even earlier on Thanks-
giving evening — and a handful
are even planning to be open all
day.
The lesson of 2011 was clear:
earlier shopping hours were good
for the top line. Retailers said
their midnight openings drew a
younger crowd who wanted to
party — and shop — late rather
than get up early. At Macy’s Her-
ald Square store in Manhattan,
for instance, about 9,000 people
were in line as it opened, com-
pared with 7,000 for an early Fri-
day opening the previous year.
“We got customer feedback
that says, ‘I like to shop earlier so
I can go to bed earlier,’ so as we
looked at the balance of being
competitive in the marketplace
and being customer-centric,”
said Duncan Mac Naughton,
chief merchandising and market-
ing officer for Wal-Mart, which
will put its first doorbuster items
on sale at 8 p.m. on Thanks-
giving.
Just a few years ago, most ma-
jor stores opened about 5 a.m. on
the Friday after Thanksgiving,
usually the busiest shopping day
of the year. This year, not only
are the openings scattered across
two days, but several retailers
are offering staggered deals —
some items at a certain time, oth-
er items a few hours later, still
others over the weekend.

Fueled by Debt, a Recovery Takes Hold in China ONLINE: MOST POPULAR

By KEITH BRADSHER
BEIJING — With construction
cranes moving again all across
China, from Guangzhou to Bei-
jing, and with steel mills and con-
crete factories busy once more,
the Chinese economy is showing
signs of a debt-fueled recovery
this autumn even as the United
States and particularly Europe
continue to struggle.
Industrial production, fixed-as-
set investment, retail sales and
electricity generation all
strengthened more than expect-
ed last month, continuing a trend
that began in September, while
inflation slowed more than fore-
cast. State-owned banks have re-
leased a torrent of loans to state-
owned enterprises since May,
producing a swift revival of in-
vestment spending this fall but
also raising questions about the
efficiency of those investments.
A raft of data came out Friday
as senior officials and top mil-
itary officers gathered here this
week for a once-a-decade leader-
ship transition at the Party Con-
gress, prompting some skepti-
cism overseas and in China that
the data might have been manip-
ulated for political benefit.
But while many economists
and business executives say that
Chinese economic data may have
been deliberately altered over
the spring and summer to hide
the severity of an economic slow-
down, they expressed more confi-
dence that the economy was now
on the mend. An aging work
force, overcapacity in many in-
dustries and heavy corporate
debts appear to be producing a
weaker recovery than in 2010,
however, with little sign that the
encouraging indicators released
on Friday point to growth rates
that will reach double digits
again anytime soon.
“Given that they have been
published while the Party Con-
gress is in session, some skeptics
have questioned whether they
can be believed,” Capital Eco-
nomics, a London consulting
firm, said in a research note. “In
our view, there is solid evidence
of a turnaround but not of a
strong rebound.”
Zhou Xiaochuan, the governor
of the People’s Bank of China, the
country’s central bank, said at a
news conference at the Party
Congress Thursday evening that
the economy appeared to have
turned a corner even before the
strong performance in October.
“After China’s economy moder-
ated in the second quarter, do-
mestic policies adjusted, helping
the economy to stabilize in the
third quarter, especially in Sep-
tember,” he said, predicting that
the economy would keep growing
unless lingering economic trou-
bles overseas create renewed dif-
ficulties for China as well.
Many worries persist about the
sustainability of even a modest
recovery heavily reliant on debt.
Chinese banks are lending at
such a brisk pace that by the end
of next year they will have ex-
panded their balance sheets in
just five years by an amount
equal to the combined balance
sheets of the entire United States
commercial banking system, ac-
cording to Fitch Ratings. Yet Chi-
na’s economy is only half the size
of the United States economy.
Each extra dollar of lending
since 2008 has produced less than
half as much extra economic
growth as before the global finan-
cial crisis. State-owned enter-
prises have finished urgent tasks
like building enough steel mills to
meet domestic demand and are

economically viable projects to

As a result, the loan burden of
China’s corporate sector is soar-
ing relative to the country’s eco-
nomic output, reaching 1.9 times
economic output this year after
holding steady at about 1.2 times
economic output in the years be-
fore the global financial crisis.
Charlene Chu, the head of Chi-
nese bank ratings at Fitch, pre-
dicted that such heavy Chinese
lending could not continue indefi-
nitely. “Rising leverage either
will swamp borrowers’ ability to
repay, or banks’ funding and cap-
ital needs will fall short of ex-
isting resources,” she said.

would fall short of the govern-
ment’s target of around 10 per-
cent growth this year, after rising
by a little more than 6 percent so
far this year.
The timing of abrupt zigzags in
Chinese economic policy appears
to have matched factional strug-
gles within the Communist Party,
although officials have not ac-
knowledged any connection.
Inflation surged in 2010 and the
first half of 2011, leading to a
sharp uptick in the frequency of
strikes and other protests by
workers who said the purchasing
power of their paychecks had
eroded. The government re-
sponded by clamping down so
hard on public spending pro-
grams and lending by state-
owned banks that the economy
slowed sharply by spring and
summer of this year, with growth
nearly stopping for crucial meas-
ures of economic activity like
electricity generation.
Mr. Zhou expressed concern
about the weakening economy at
the National People’s Congress in
early March, as the economy was
starting to run into serious trou-
ble but government policies con-
tinued to focus on curbing infla-
tion. Yet as Bo Xilai, a Politburo
member popular with leftists,
was subsequently purged and po-
litical factions argued about his
fate through the spring, econom-
ic policy stayed restrictive and
largely unchanged through
March, April and early May.
The central bank is not politi-
cally independent in China, and
all important economic decisions
require political approval by the
Standing Committee of the Polit-
buro.
With the construction sector
dismissing very large numbers of
workers by late spring and with
factories cutting back, Prime
Minister Wen Jiabao began pub-
licly ordering a more expansion-

ary economic policy in May. That
now appears to have turned
around the economy, creating at
least a temporary surge of pros-
perity that has coincided with the
Party Congress.
The National Bureau of Statis-
tics here said on Friday afternoon
that industrial production rose
9.6 percent in October from a
year ago, compared with 9.2 per-
cent in September and 8.9 per-
cent in August. Retail sales were
up 14.5 percent in October from a
year earlier compared with 14.2
percent in September, even
though slower inflation at the
consumer level was acting as a
brake on the increase in retail
sales.
Fixed-asset investment was up
20.7 percent for the first 10
months of this year, after being
up 20.5 percent for the first nine
months of this year. China releas-
es only year-to-date figures for
fixed-asset investment, partly be-
cause of the difficulty in tracking
when money is actually spent on
big construction projects.
ANZ, the big Australian bank,
said in a research note that the
figures released on Friday were
consistent with 8 percent eco-
nomic growth in the last quarter
of this year and even faster ex-
pansion in the first quarter of
next year. By comparison,
growth had weakened to 7.4 per-
cent in the third quarter and 7.6
percent in the second quarter, ac-
cording to official statistics.
But many economists say that
actual growth was lower in the
second and third quarters than
official statistics showed, as
many sectors, particularly heavy
industry, were stalling. By con-
trast, the growth this autumn ap-
pears broader, with the growth
rate in steel and cement produc-
tion doubling by October com-
pared to the summer and roughly
tripling for electricity.

BUSINESS BRIEFING
BANKING
Loss at Crédit Agricole Tops Estimates
The French bank Crédit Agricole posted an unexpectedly large third-
quarter loss on Friday, mainly from costs related to the sale of its Greek
unit. The loss was 2.85 billion euros ($3.6 billion), more than the 1.8 bil-
lion euros expected by analysts. Crédit Agricole booked one-time costs
of 1.96 billion euros on the sale of its Emporiki unit. The French bank
wrote down 181 million euros on its sale of CA Cheuvreux, a brokerage
unit, to Kepler Capital Markets, and took an accounting charge of 193
million euros for its holding in the Spanish bank Bankinter. Crédit Agri-
cole’s revenue fell 32 percent, to 3.4 billion euros, mainly as a result of
the sales of CA Cheuvreux and Emporiki. The bank said that it had
made “major progress” in straightening out its business and that with-
out the exceptional items its net income would have been 716 million
euros in the latest quarter. It credited a strong performance from lend-
ing activities in France, where it is the market leader. DAVID JOLLY
Regulators Postpone Part of Financial Overhaul
United States regulators said Friday that they were postponing a signif-
icant part of the financial regulatory overhaul after banks said they
would not be ready for the new rules. The regulators proposed the rules
in June as part of an international effort to harmonize the global finan-
cial system. Smaller banks immediately objected to the proposals, say-
ing they would be too costly and might deter them from making loans.
The rules stem from internationally agreed standards adopted by a
body called the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. “Last month,
an industry group called the Independent Community Bankers of
America said that “nearly 15,000 community bankers and their allies”
had signed a petition against the rules. In particular, the community
banks don’t like Basel measures that would make banks hold bigger
loss buffers, or capital, against mortgages. Some advocates of stronger
regulation said they hoped the delay on Friday wouldn’t lead to ex-
emptions for large banks. PETER EAVIS

products used in jet engines. Precision Castparts, whose castings are
used in every jet aircraft engine program in production or under devel-
opment, said the acquisition of the titanium producer would help
streamline its supply chain and input costs. Titanium Metals’ custom-
ers include Boeing, Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United
Technologies. Precision Castparts offered $16.50 a share for Titanium
Metals, a 43 percent premium to the stock’s closing price on Friday.

With Deal to Acquire TNK-BP, Rosneft Courts Investors Wary of Inefficient Management
By STANLEY REED
and ANDREW E. KRAMER
LONDON — When Rosneft
completes its planned purchase
of TNK-BP, it will become the
world’s largest publicly traded oil
company by output, producing
about 4.4 million barrels of oil a
day.
But that doesn’t necessarily
mean the state-owned oil giant
will get more respect from invest-
ors.
Rosneft is inefficiently man-
aged and, as a government-con-
trolled entity, subject to the vaga-
ries of Kremlin policy. It lacks ex-
perience in attractive offshore
and Arctic regions, which hold its
best potential for future growth,
and it has virtually no presence
outside of Russia. As a result, in-
vestors are willing to pay far less
for a share of Rosneft’s assets
than they are for rival oil compa-
nies’.
President Vladimir V. Putin of
Russia and his close associate
Igor I. Sechin, now Rosneft’s
president, want to fix these short-
comings and make the company
a serious player in the global in-
dustry.
That motivation partly ex-
plains why they struck a complex
$55 billion deal last month to ac-
quire TNK-BP and forge an alli-
ance with BP, letting the London-
based company acquire nearly 20
percent of Rosneft, including
some shares owned by the gov-
ernment. The Russian leaders
want the expertise that BP and
its Russian joint venture, TNK-
BP, which is the country’s third-
largest oil company, can bring to
Rosneft’s hodgepodge of assets.
“There is a willingness on the
part of the leadership of Rosneft
to get expertise and people from
BP to improve the capability of
Rosneft,” said David Peattie,
head of BP Russia, in an inter-
view. “Rosneft welcomes the
technology that BP is good at,”
like enhanced oil recovery, man-
aging mature fields, exploration
and drilling.
BP figures that it, too, can prof-
it from Mr. Sechin’s ambitions,
much as it did from the TNK-BP
venture, to which it brought
Western expertise to wring more
out of underperforming Russian
energy assets. But it is taking a
big risk. The company is in es-
sence swapping its troubled rela-
tionship with its Russian oligarch
partners for what could be an
equally difficult alliance with the
state.
BP gains a potentially bigger
upside but “will have far less con-
trol,” said Jerry Kepes, a partner
at the consulting firm PFC Ener-
gy in Washington.
Rosneft has tried to play down
the negative associations that
come with state ownership. But
even its recent expansion owes
as much to Russian politics as to
business.
After elections last spring, Mr.
Sechin, a former deputy prime
minister, moved to the top posi-
tion at Rosneft. Only after he took
charge did Rosneft move ahead
with its buyout of TNK-BP.
The expansion of the company
reflected Mr. Sechin’s political
clout as much as it did any indus-
trial strategy by the Russian
leadership to form a larger na-
tional oil company for the pur-
pose of drilling in the Arctic
Ocean, in remote East Siberia
and in difficult shale oil fields.
A faction in the Russian gov-
ernment, including a deputy
prime minister, Arkady Dvorkov-
ich, had advocated a more di-
verse and competitive oil sector.
If Mr. Sechin were to fall from fa-
vor, this other vision could be re-
vived, leaving BP a part-owner of
a national oil company that might
be split up or sold off in a process
BP would not control. (Rosneft it-
self grew quickly in 2007 after ac-
quiring at rock-bottom prices
many of the assets of Yukos, a
company whose leaders fell out
of favor with the Kremlin.)
For now, Mr. Sechin is focusing
on the lofty goals he has set for
Rosneft. According to a recent in-
vestor presentation, those goals
include going offshore, where
Rosneft controls the bulk of Rus-
sia’s leases but has little exper-
tise, and expanding internation-
ally.
He also wants to build up Ros-
neft’s small natural gas business,
potentially putting pressure on
his old rival, Alexei Miller, chair-
man of the management commit-
tee at Gazprom, the state-owned
gas giant. Mr. Sechin recently
snatched a plum from Mr. Miller
when Rosneft signed a gas deal
with UES, a big state utility.
Since taking over at Rosneft in
Hoping BP’s expertise
can raise the Russian
oil giant’s stock value.
May, Mr. Sechin has been busy
trying to bolster the company’s
executive team with outside
hires. For instance, he brought in
Zeljko Runje, a former Exxon ex-
ecutive, as vice president for off-
shore projects.
There is little question that
Rosneft could benefit quickly and
substantially from better man-
agement.
A recent study by Bernstein
Research in London showed that
TNK-BP was far more efficient
than Rosneft at turning the
money it earned from its oil fields
into cash. In 2011, TNK-BP con-
verted 56 percent, or $6.9 billion,
of what it earned from operations
into cash flow, compared with
only 16 percent for Rosneft.
Part of the difference is that
Rosneft is investing in refinery
upgrades, but Bernstein said
TNK-BP also benefited hugely
from techniques, learned in part
from BP, for managing the aging,
waterlogged fields that are its
core producers in the West Sibe-
ria oil heartland. BP worked out
these technologies at Prudhoe
Bay in Alaska.
Robert West, a Bernstein ana-
lyst, said that if Rosneft could
narrow its efficiency gap with
TNK-BP by just a third, that
could be worth more than $2 bil-
lion annually.
“The best thing that BP can
contribute to Rosneft is reservoir
management technology,” Mr.
West said. “That can really move
the needle.”
Rosneft is also likely to benefit
from tax changes being pushed
by Pavel Fedorov, a former Ros-
neft chief financial officer and
Morgan Stanley banker who is
now Russia’s deputy minister of
energy.
The changes, if Parliament
passes them in January, would
cut taxes sharply on some pro-
duction and make more of Ros-
neft’s oil economically viable to
produce. For that reason, the
company estimates that it would
be able to quickly add about five
billion barrels of reserves to its
books.
There is enormous potential to
increase Rosneft’s stock market
value. Mr. West said Rosneft’s re-
serves were valued at about $2 a
barrel, compared with $7 a barrel
for BP and $15 for Exxon Mobil.
Analysts say the disparity re-
flects investors’ lack of confi-
dence that Rosneft can efficiently
turn its oil into cash.
BP is betting that it can in-
crease the value of its Rosneft
holdings over time, as the British
company helps the Russian one
improve its operations.
Of course, how much influence
BP can exert at Rosneft through
a minority stake remains to be
seen. BP is gaining two board
seats and is considering putting a
Russian on its own board.
“We’ll be reviewing, as mem-
bers of the board, future invest-
ment plans, and will no doubt
have an ability to comment and
participate on investment deci-
sions and annual work programs
and budgets,” BP’s chief execu-
tive, Robert W. Dudley, said on
Oct. 30, when BP reported quar-
terly earnings.

slow.
That forecast was issued Fri-
day by the Organization for Eco-
nomic Cooperation and Develop-
ment, a group of 34 countries that
includes all of the major industri-
alized nations.
“Aging will be a drag on
growth in many countries,” said
the report, titled “Looking to
2060: Long-Term Global Growth
Prospects.” It also projected that
while the aging of the population
would be offset to some extent by
better education in many coun-
tries, global growth in gross do-
mestic product, which averaged
3.5 percent a year from 1995
through 2011, would rise to 3.7
percent through 2030, but then
fall to just 2.3 percent over the
next three decades.
“The active share of the popu-
lation has to finance the old popu-
lation,” said Asa Johansson, a
senior economist in the organiza-
tion and the principal author of
the report, explaining why the
rising proportion of older people
is expected to reduce growth.
The accompanying charts
show the growth forecasts for the
world and for nine major coun-
tries, as well as what is known as
the old-age dependency ratio, de-
fined as the number of people
over the age of 65 for each 100
people ages 15 to 64, which de-
fines the working-age population.
The process is expected to be
particularly rapid in China. In
2010, that country had just 11.3
people over 65 for each 100 people
in the working-age population,
less than half of Britain’s 25.1 fig-
ure and well below the United
States’s 19.9. But the United Na-
tions estimates that by 2045, the
dependency ratio in China will be
39, almost exactly the same as in
Britain and well above the 34.6
figure forecast for the United
States.

G.D.P. would grow at a rate of 2.3
percent a year from 2030 to 2060,
little more than the 2 percent it
forecast for the United States.
But it projected growth of 3.3 per-
cent in Indonesia and 4 percent in
India.
The United Nations estimates
reflect uncertainty about
changes in fertility rates over the
coming decades, and the charts
show three forecasts based on as-
sumptions of high, medium and
low rates. The O.E.C.D. growth
forecasts assume the medium
fertility rates.
If the medium rates are cor-
rect, by 2060 Germany and Italy
will each have old-age ratios
above 55, while Britain and
France will have ratios below 45.

were considering indexing that
number to life expectancy.
One thing that could render
these forecasts wrong would be
an increase in immigration. For
South Korea, which now seems to
be on course to rival Japan as one
of the oldest — and slowest-grow-
ing — countries in the world by
late in this century, an obvious
source of new workers would be
the much younger North Korea, if
politics ever made that possible.
For many other countries, a
source would be less developed
nations, something that is politi-
cally unpopular in both the Unit-
ed States and Western Europe,
and all but anathema in Japan.
Perhaps the politics of that will
change someday, as young immi-

itors for limited employment op-
portunities but as sources of tax

Acquiring the Indian company,
United Spirits, will make it pos-
sible for Diageo, which is based
in London, to meet its goal of get-
ting half of its revenue from
emerging markets years ahead of
its 2015 target. About 40 percent
of sales come from such markets
now. United Spirits, which is
based in Bangalore, had revenue
of 182 billion rupees, ($3.3 billion)
in the 12 months ending in March,
which is about 20 percent of Dia-
geo’s sales for the 12 months that
ended in June.
Analysts said the deal would
give Diageo access to the most
extensive liquor operation in In-
dia at a time when its citizens are
increasingly consuming more al-
cohol. Many consumers are also
choosing higher-priced spirits
rather than beer and traditional
Indian alcohol made from coco-
nuts and sugar cane. Diageo’s
Johnnie Walker whiskeys have
long been among the preferred
brands of middle-class and
wealthy Indians.

Ousted Citi Chief to Receive
$6 Million in ‘Incentive’ Pay
By JESSICA SILVER-GREENBERG
The board of Citigroup has
awarded $6.65 million to Vikram
S. Pandit after unexpectedly
ousting the chief executive last
month.
Mr. Pandit will receive the
money as part of an “incentive”
package for his work during 2012.
He will also continue to collect his
deferred cash and stock awards
from the previous year, compen-
sation that the bank currently
valued at more than $8.8 million.
In a surprise move, Mr. Pandit
resigned in October, a departure
that was orchestrated for months
by the bank’s board. Its powerful
chairman, Michael E. O’Neill,
maneuvered behind the scenes to
curry support with other direc-
tors and replace Mr. Pandit. Mi-
chael L. Corbat was named the
new chief executive.
The Indian businessman Vijay Mallya is the largest shareholder in the company, United Spirits.
cash that he can use to repay oth-
er loans that he and his holding
company have amassed in recent
years to pay for various acquisi-
tions and to start an ill-fated air-
line.
The acquisition will be struc-
tured in two stages: Diageo will
first acquire a 27.4 percent stake
in United Spirits in two trans-
actions and later make an open
offer to all public shareholders
for another 26 percent, as re-
quired by Indian securities reg-
ulations. The agreement comes
after several weeks of negotia-
tions and four years after the
companies last discussed a deal.
In the first stage of the deal,
Diageo will buy shares totaling
19.3 percent of United Spirits
from holding companies and
trusts owned by Mr. Mallya, his
family and his senior manage-
ment. The remaining shares will
come in the form of new stock is-
As part of the shake-up, the
board also forced out John Ha-
vens, the chief operating officer.
Mr. Havens will receive $6.8 mil-
lion in incentive pay for 2012, with
previous deferred stock and cash
awards valued at $8.725 million.
Since Mr. Pandit and Mr. Ha-
vens abruptly left the company,
they will both forfeit the remain-
der of their retention packages,
which were outlined last year.
For Mr. Pandit, the lost compen-
sation amounts to roughly $24
million, according to a person
with knowledge of the matter
who could not speak publicly.
Mr. Pandit led the bank during
a turbulent chapter in its history.
After taking over in 2007, he navi-
gated the bank through the finan-
cial crisis, securing a $45 billion
lifeline from the federal govern-
ment. The bank’s health was so
dire that Mr. Pandit opted to take

percent of the company’s shares.

that it is viable before it can fly
again.
Kapil Kaul, an aviation consult-
ant, estimates that Mr. Mallya
and other investors must pump
more than $1 billion into King-
fisher to revive it.
Kingfisher, which has never
made money, has debts totaling
about $2.5 billion. In addition to
the airline and United Spirits, Mr.
Mallya also controls India’s larg-
est beer brewer, a fertilizer com-
pany, a cricket team and a For-
mula One racing team.
On Friday, in a conference call
with reporters, Mr. Mallya re-
fused to say whether he would
use proceeds from the sale of
United Spirits to revive Kingfish-
er.
“We have multiple businesses
and each business operates inde-
pendently,” he said. “There is no
cross-contamination. There has
never been, there never will be.”
MARK LENNIHAN/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Since Mr. Pandit resigned, the
mood among some senior execu-
tives has been grim, according to
several people close to the bank.
The executives felt that the
board’s actions last month were
particularly brutal and humiliat-
ing to Mr. Pandit, considering his
role in reviving the bank.

Squelching
A Robocaller
The Federal Trade Commis-
sion recently acted to shut down
five “robocalling” companies in
Arizona and Florida that it says
are responsible for millions of il-
legal telemarketing calls, includ-
ing the familiar prerecorded
messages from “Rachel from
Cardholder Services.”
“At the F.T.C., Rachel from
Cardholder Services is public en-
emy No. 1,” Jon Leibowitz, the
commission chairman, said in a
statement.
Actually, Rachel is a voice re-
corded years ago and recycled
by various organizations, ac-
cording to an article in June in
The New York Times. So while
the commission’s action may put
a dent in Rachel’s productivity,
other companies continue to use
her.
“I’d be as delighted as every-
one else to see her disappear,”
said C. Steven Baker, director of
the commission’s Midwest re-
gion. “We’re working on it.”
Federal courts granted the
agency’s request to temporarily
halt the operations of the five
companies. The agency asserted
that they tricked consumers into
paying hundreds of thousands of
dollars by making phony claims
that they could reduce credit
card interest rates in return for a
fee paid up front.
I wasn’t aware of what exactly
Rachel was pitching, since I im-
mediately hung up when I heard
her greeting. But many other
consumers apparently listened,
and even pressed a number to
hear more from a live person.
After the telemarketer “ap-
proved” the consumers for a
“program” to get rates as low as
0 percent, according to the agen-
cy, the telemarketer told them
that there was an upfront fee,
ranging from several hundred
dollars to nearly $3,000. To en-
courage paying the fee, the com-
mission said, telemarketers
would often say it would be more
than offset by the consumer’s
savings through the program.
In some cases, the agency as-
the practice. Some robocalls, like
those from political candidates or
charities seeking donations, are
allowed, the agency says. But if
the recording is a sales pitch, and
you haven’t given written per-
mission to get the calls, it’s illegal
— and most likely a swindle.

Credit Score
Achievers
MyFico.com, the consumer
arm of FICO, creator of a widely
used family of credit scores, has
published a report on those it
considers “high achievers,” or
those with FICO scores of 785 or
higher.
FICO scores range from 300 to
850 — the higher the score, the
better your credit profile, and the
more likely you are to get a loan
at a favorable interest rate.
Scores are based on information
reported by lenders to credit re-
porting bureaus like Experian,
TransUnion and Equifax. You can
have multiple scores, depending
on the sort of loan you’re seeking
and the credit bureau doing the
reporting.
More than 50 million people —
about a quarter of all those with
credit scores — have scores of
785 or higher, and they exhibit
“strikingly similar” credit habits,
regardless of background and life
experience, according to myFico.
(The analysis is based on April
data and used FICO 8 scores, the
most recent version of the “gen-
eral purpose” FICO score.) Over
all, those with the highest scores
keep low revolving balances rela-
tive to their available credit; they
don’t “max out” their cards; and
they consistently make pay-
ments on time, even if it’s just the
minimum required amount.

INCREASES YOU SHOULD EXPECT
At least two categories of tax in-
creases are widely expected to
materialize in some form.
A payroll tax cut given in the
2011 and 2012 calendar years —
intended as a temporary stimu-
lus — is set to expire, and so far
both Democrats and Republicans
seem ready to let that happen, al-
though there could be some pro-
vision made to ease the pain for
the lowest earners.
The lapsing payroll tax cut af-
fects everyone who works, or
about three-quarters of all tax fil-
ers. A household in the middle
quintile, roughly between $40,000
and $65,000, can expect its taxes
to rise by an average of $672 next
year, while a household in the top
quintile, being paid more than
$108,000, will pay an average of
$1,950 more, according to the Tax
Policy Center.
With the re-election of Presi-
dent Obama, the taxes imposed
by his health care overhaul will
also almost certainly remain.
Starting in 2013, high-income
Americans will pay an additional
tax of 0.9 percent on their earn-
ings above $250,000 if they are
married and above $200,000 if fil-
ing singly. These households will
also pay an additional 3.8 percent
on capital gains, dividend and in-
terest income over those same
thresholds. The average house-
hold in the top income quintile —
the group of Americans most
likely to be hit by these new taxes
— will owe an additional $1,141.
TAX CHANGES OBAMA WANTS
The fate of the other scheduled
tax increases is less clear. Mr.
Obama has advocated for some
of them, but the Republicans,
who control Congress, have op-
posed them.
In particular, Mr. Obama wants
to let lapse the lower rates begun
in the Bush era on income, capital
gains and dividends for higher
earners, whom he has defined as
those earning more than $250,000
for married couples and $200,000
for others.
These tax rates were previ-
an additional $45,002.
Allowing the Bush-era capital
gains rates to rise would also af-
fect these high-income earners.
This year, investors pay a top
marginal tax rate on their long-
term capital gains of 15 percent.
Under current law, this rate will
jump to 20 percent in 2013, not in-
cluding the additional 3.8 percent
increase from the Affordable
Care Act on high-income invest-
ors described earlier. In addition,
a limitation on itemized deduc-
tions is also scheduled to kick in
at the end of this year that could
add another 1.2 percent.
All these changes could effec-
tively raise the capital gains rate
to 25 percent on Jan. 1, from 15
percent on Dec. 31. Economists
expect to see a lot of investors un-
loading assets that have done
well — like stocks or even their
own businesses — by the end of
this year to take advantage of the
lower tax rate.
“There was a good reason for
George Lucas to unload Lucas-
film to Disney this year,” said Len
Burman, a professor of public af-
fairs at Syracuse.
After Congress embraced the
Tax Reform Act of 1986, which
raised the highest capital gains
tax rate to 28 percent from 20 per-
cent, capital gains realizations al-
most doubled as investors scram-
bled to sell off investments under
the lower rate. The reported
gains then fell back in 1987.
While he wants to let taxes rise
for the wealthy, President Obama
would like to extend some provi-
sions passed in the 2009 stimulus
bill that primarily benefit lower-
income families. These include
expansions of the child tax credit,
a tax benefit for college students
and the earned-income tax credit
for larger families and married
couples.
Republicans generally want
these provisions to expire. Al-
lowing these provisions to lapse
most affects households in the
lowest quintile, whose taxes
Tax Raises That May Come
With many tax cuts set to expire on Dec. 31 and some new taxes scheduled to start with the new year, many
Americans’ tax bills will go up next year. Exactly how much is not yet clear, but here is how some of those
changes would affect two types of taxpayers.
Previous tax cuts that could expire:
would rise an average of $209
next year.
SOME DISAGREEMENTS The es-
tate tax is another sticking point,
though both parties do not want
the estate tax to rise as sharply
as it is scheduled to under cur-
rent law.
Now, the first $5 million of a
person’s estate remains untaxed,
and anything above that is taxed
at 35 percent. At year-end, the ef-
fective exemption will fall to $1
million and the top tax rate will
rise to 55 percent.
Estate taxes affect very few
Americans; only about 0.13 per-
cent of people who die have es-
tates big enough to owe estate
tax. If the rates revert to the pre-
Bush era level, as planned, that
will rise to about 2 percent of es-
tates, said Roberton Williams, a
senior fellow at the Tax Policy
Center.
Mr. Obama has proposed set-
ting the exemption for the estate
tax at $3.5 million, indexed to in-
flation, while Republicans want
to eliminate the tax altogether.
“One thing you might see this
year is wealthier people gifting
significant amounts of their as-
sets, putting them in trusts or
giving to their heirs early,” said
Mr. Williams. Still, there are lim-
its on how much people can give
away without running into gift
taxes, and besides, some wealthy
people might be reluctant to div-
vy up the fortune too soon. “You
might hear some people saying,
‘How do I do this without losing
control? Can I still keep Junior
under my thumb?’” said Mr. Wil-
liams.
There are also a grab bag of
previously extended tax provi-
sions that affect households,
businesses, charitable giving and
many other issues. Neither party
seems to want to let these lapse
in their entirety, but again, they
differ on the details.

increases that are scheduled to
kick in but are widely expected to
be tamed because neither party
wants them: the end of the Bush-
era tax cuts for low- and middle-
income families and an expan-
sion of the alternative minimum
tax that would capture an addi-
tional 26 million taxpayers.
Around 70 percent of tax filers
will be affected by the end of the
Bush-era tax cuts for those with
income under about $200,000 or
$250,000 for married couples.
Taxes on households in the mid-
dle quintile would rise by an av-
erage of $888, while taxes on
those in the top quintile would
rise an average of $3,841.
The alternative minimum tax,
or A.M.T., sets a minimum tax
rate for people earning above a
certain income threshold, and
was created in a slightly different
form in 1969 to make sure
wealthy people paid their “fair”
share of taxes. Taxpayers who
earn more than that minimum
are supposed to calculate how
much they owe under the regular
system and how much they owe
under the A.M.T., and then pay
whichever is larger.
The minimum income that sets
off the A.M.T. is not indexed to in-
flation, however. Over the last
decade, Congress has repeatedly
passed a temporary “patch” so
that tens of millions more taxpay-
ers are not captured by it. If Con-
gress does not act before Dec. 31,
the A.M.T. will apply to some
married couples earning as little
as $45,000 and single taxpayers
earning as little as $33,750.
At least another patch is con-
sidered likely, to keep the A.M.T.
from snaring millions of Ameri-
cans below the median household
income. “Congress doesn’t want
that to happen, and the president
doesn’t want that to happen,”
said Mr. Williams. “The only
thing that will stop them from
patching it is a total logjam,
which we can’t totally rule out at
this point.”

After the Storm: Managing Your Homeowner’s Claim
From First Business Page
misnomer. They represent the insur-
ance company and are not neutral.
In storms like this, large numbers of
these freelance claims adjusters para-
chute in from out of town. In the indus-
try, they are known as storm troopers.
They work 18-hour days for a while
since no insurance company has
enough of its own full-time staff to de-
ploy after a storm like this one. Often,
they make enough money not to work
for months afterward.
“These guys have a lot of work to do,
and it’s a thankless job,” said Matthew
Tennenbaum, who used to be an inde-
pendent adjuster but switched sides
and now works for policyholders as a
“public” adjuster in Cherry Hill, N.J.
Mr. Tennenbaum worries about the
storm troopers’ thoroughness. “They’re
going to see 10 properties a day and
they’re quickly writing estimates,” he
said. “If they spend an extra three or
four hours properly writing one esti-
mate, they could have written three
more and made more money.”
Though many of them are former
builders or contractors, they may not, if
time is of the essence, always pull up ev-
ery floor, explore every inch of the attic
or look behind every wall. And they
may not know much about your insur-
ance company’s policy.
“The insurance companies hand
them a manual, and they may not really
understand the manual,” said J. Robert
Hunter, the director of insurance for the
Consumer Federation of America, who
has worked for insurance companies
and once ran the federal flood insurance
program.  “It’s a crash course at that
point.”
    The good news here is that these
are not the people who make the final
call on your claim. But many policyhold-
ers assume that their word is the final
word.
WIND VERSUS FLOOD Back at headquar-
ters, other adjusters have their eye on
an exclusion that will be crucial for this
storm, with its horrific storm surges but
relatively mild winds: homeowner’s in-
surance generally does not cover floods.
Unfortunately, many people do not
know this and many more have not pur-
chased or renewed policies with the fed-
eral flood insurance program that cov-
ers up to $250,000 of flood damage. Re-
searchers from the Wharton Risk Man-
agement and Decision Processes Cen-
ter, working with colleagues at Florida
State, the University of Miami and Co-
lumbia University, surveyed people in
the storm’s path by telephone three
days before it hit.
Among people within a block of a
body of water, 46 percent had no flood
WEALTH MATTERS
Some Prefer Giving Time,
Not Money, to Schools
By PAUL SULLIVAN
COUPLE of weeks ago, I wrote
A about a group that rated chari-
ties for their effectiveness but
was surprised when one of the
group’s young founders said he had
stopped supporting groups focused on
education. He had a perfectly rational-
sounding reason: the problems were
daunting and he didn’t feel his dona-
tions would have an impact.
Then, I heard about a recent study of
high-net-worth households that found
that education was the leading concern
among affluent donors, ahead of health
care, the economy, poverty and the fed-
eral budget deficit.
The report, by Bank of America and
the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana
University, also found that the largest
proportion of gift dollars was going to
education (followed by philanthropic
funds, family foundations and religious
organizations). The study also found
that the amount given to education in-
creased more than any other category
last year.
Some portion of this money certainly
went to alma maters. But as I talked to
the people who conducted the study, I
realized that people were giving more
than just money to education causes.
They were giving their knowledge and
experience.
“One of the more strategic issues in
philanthropy is looking at root causes
and not at symptoms,” said Claire Cos-
tello, philanthropic practice executive at
Bank of America’s United States Trust
division. “Education is a root cause. One
interpretation of the data could be peo-
ple feel if you rectify our education sys-
tem, prosperity will flow to all of us.”
Writing a check is simply a matter of
figuring out an amount you can afford
and sending it off. But actually donating
your time, which was not counted by
the survey toward the dollars people
gave, seemed a far greater level of com-
mitment.
Donating your time does not result in
a tax break, though the Bureau of Labor
Statistics valued volunteering at $21.79
an hour in 2011.
As I talked to people who were deeply
involved in educational philanthropy, I
realized that it was actually the time
they gave that kept them involved, even
if they could have written a large check
and been done with it.
Charles R. Bendit, for instance, had
built his real estate firm, Taconic Invest-
ment Partners, into a successful port-
folio of commercial buildings and apart-
ments in the New York region. When he

insurance. In areas that had been evac-
uated in past storms or where the au-
thorities advised people to leave, 58 per-
cent did not have it. Moreover, 39 per-
cent of all the people who thought they
did have flood coverage mistakenly be-
lieved that their homeowner’s insur-
ance covered it.
People without coverage but lots of
damage from the storm surge might do
one of a couple of things. A few stub-
born ones will sue, arguing that if the
wind drove the surge then it’s not really
a flood. Judges haven’t taken kindly to
this line of reasoning over the years, but
that probably won’t keep people from
trying again. The Federal Emergency
Management Agency may also offer
some assistance.
Others may try to prove that wind

first became interested in giving some-
thing back in the 1990s, he said he didn’t
have a lot of money but did have some
business experience.
A friend suggested he consider edu-
cation and connected him with Pencil, a
nonprofit group that brings business
people into public schools. “I figured
education makes a lot of sense,” Mr.
Bendit said. “Educating our students
best prepares them to take on the re-
sponsibility of becoming our business
and political leaders.”
After volunteering at a couple of dif-
ferent schools, Mr. Bendit was paired up
with Sana Q. Nasser, the principal of the
Harry S. Truman High School in the
Bronx. The result has been a partner-
ship of more than a decade that has
brought significant improvements in
the school, which now has 1,900 stu-
dents.
Ms. Nasser said she had been a prin-
cipal for five years when she met Mr.
Bendit. At that point, she felt she had
stabilized the school, which had been
failing when she took over, and was
ready to start making improvements.
She wanted to start academies within
the school that would draw on assets
that were not being used, like a televi-
sion studio and a planetarium.
“I realized very quickly that I needed
someone to help me,” Ms. Nasser said.
“I didn’t know exactly how to do it. I
didn’t have the wherewithal to negoti-
ate all of this.”
But she knew she didn’t want an ex-
ecutive to come in for a day and write
her school a check.
“I wanted someone who would stay
with me for the long haul,” she said. “I
wanted time, their knowledge and com-
mitment, and a wide network of people.
I wanted that business connection. I
wanted internships for my kids.”
Mr. Bendit said the two hit it off. But
before they tackled her dream of having
academies within the school, they be-
gan working on her ability to delegate to
her assistant principals. Without doing
that, he said she couldn’t think long
term about the school.
She said she trusted Mr. Bendit to
teach her skills that she didn’t have. “It
was almost a mindshift for me,” she
said. “I realized he could help me as I
tried to rebuild Truman to what it used
to be.”
Mr. Bendit said that for him, helping
her start various academies within the
school with focuses as different as law
and cooking, meant using his contacts
more than his checkbook. “It was about
leverage,” he said. “I didn’t know much
prior to the flooding event?” Often, no
one can say for sure, since everyone
evacuated.
If the house is not a total loss, you
may look for other clues. “We’ll find up-
per-level structural twisting, and the in-
surance company will say that it’s from
a flood,” said Mark Boardman, a public
adjuster in Maitland, Fla. “But then
we’ll find that upstairs is twisted but not
the ground.”
Then, there’s the concurrent causa-
tion clause that has crept into policies in
recent years. Here, insurance compa-
nies refuse to cover anything if one
thing that causes damage (like wind) is
insured but another (like a flood) is not
and both seem to have happened at the
same time. “I’m sure this will be litigat-
ed again, but we won’t know that for
three or four more weeks,” said Mr.
Hunter of the Consumer Federation of
America.
REPLACE AND REPAIR After most

about television studios or catering, but
I knew who to ask.”
Today, Truman is a thriving school.
But Mr. Bendit was quick to point out
that he was able to make a difference
without sacrificing other things in his
life. He estimated that he spent no more
than 25 hours a year with Ms. Nasser.
“We sometimes don’t appreciate the
impact we can have by just investing a
little bit of our time and some of our re-
sources,” he said. “She never said,
‘Could you buy me computers or could
you buy me a new planetarium?’ It was
more about, ‘What can you do to help
me build this?’”
Mr. Bendit said he gave the school

may be a shortage of building materials,
for instance, or the higher-quality ma-
terials may get more expensive. After
two hurricanes in Florida, contractors
turned to Chinese drywall several years
ago, which ended up making people
sick.
Your policy may call on your insur-
ance company to pay for materials
equivalent to what you need to replace,
or it may merely require similar ones.
But make sure its estimates reflect the
new market price, lest you end up set-
tling for what turns out to be this
storm’s Chinese drywall, whether it’s
bad lumber, paint, cement or something
else.
Then there are the labor costs. The
adjusters that insurance companies de-
ploy have software that’s supposed to
reflect market prices. “It’s garbage in,
garbage out,” said David Bierman, a for-
mer Allstate adjuster and staff lawyer
who now represents consumers in

The Bank of America study of high-
net-worth households found that 89 per-

the Bank of America executive, said re-

derived from their charitable giving and
found that it was linked more to engage-
ment than dollars.

his software, and prices are going to

down.”
BUILDING CODES If you live in an old
house, any major repairs will have to
comply with newer local building codes.
Homeowner’s insurance policies may
include riders known as “law and ordi-
nance” coverage that will cover the ex-
tra cost of doing so.
But recovering the money may not al-
ways be easy. Mr. Tennenbaum said
that insurance companies often make
you wait to collect until you’ve already
spent the money, and then they demand
proof that the local code enforcement of-
fice insisted on every course of action.
Even after that, there’s often trouble.
“They’ll usually dispute certain items
saying that they really weren’t neces-
sary,” he said. “And then you end up
having to compromise on the claim just
to get it done.”
By the way, building departments in
hard-hit communities are likely to be
busy over the next couple of months.
That won’t make it easy to get help.
PUBLIC ADJUSTERS If you have a large
claim, sorting it out and making repairs
will be at least a part-time job for many
more months. And if this is your first big
claim, you’ll essentially be learning a
new language.
Hiring an experienced, licensed pub-
lic adjuster can help, but the firms usu-
ally charge you 10 percent or so of your
eventual payout. That means the adjust-
er needs to do 10 percent better than
you for it to be worth it.
Some people, however, find that after
a giant chunk of wood comes through
the ceiling of their bedroom during a
hurricane and they can’t sleep in their
own bed anymore, they’ve dealt with
enough stress and want to hand the
haggling over to somebody else.
That’s what happened to Scott Gold-
en and his wife, who knew an adjuster
at Goodman-Gable-Gould/Adjusters In-
ternational through his son. “Even if
you were competent at one point, you’re
not when your house is intruded upon
like that,” said Mr. Golden, who ended
up with a check for over $40,000 from
his insurance company after Hurricane
Irene last year sent that branch through
his roof in Bethesda, Md. “We thought
the whole house might come down, and
we didn’t want to mess around with do-
ing this ourselves.”

of philanthropic service at the wealth
management firm Northern Trust, said
that people who wanted to be involved
in education charities needed to be pre-
pared to wait for results, and that could
be frustrating for people who were not
volunteering their time and seeing the
small steps of progress.
“Many of the best educational fun-
ders are also mentors in after-school
programs or they volunteer,” she said.
“They do something that keeps them in
touch with the population they’re trying
to help.”
Donna Fontana, senior vice president
at Fidelity Investments, said she was in-
spired to change her philanthropic fo-
cus by the documentary “Waiting for
Superman,” about city students trying
to get a better education in charter
schools.
She began teaching an after-school
class through a program run by Citizen
Schools, which helps students gain life
skills and experience. She is in her third
semester of teaching “Invest Like a Mil-
lionaire,” a course Fidelity developed, at
a middle school in East Harlem. Ms.
Fontana said the class focused on teach-
ing children the basics of saving, spend-
ing and budgeting but culminated with
students counseling real people (her
friends) on their financial situation.
“The children embrace it and rise to
the occasion,” she said. “We knew we
were getting through to them when we
had one student talk to a client about
compound interest.”
She said she now found herself talk-
ing enthusiastically about the children
and the program to all of her friends.
Of course, there are those who can
have it both ways, giving a lot of time
and money each year.
Trisha Perez Kennealy and her hus-
band, Michael J. Kennealy, an entrepre-
neur and private equity executive, said
they took a three-step approach to their
educational philanthropy. They work
with the public schools in Lexington,
Mass., where their three children go, fi-
nance scholarships at their alma maters
and donate to and serve on the boards
of national educational reform groups.
“It’s multipronged because we want
to make a big change,” Ms. Perez Ken-
nealy said. “You only go through third
grade once. This is our future.”
But like everyone else I talked to, the
Kennealys, who put their annual cash
giving in the six figures, are true believ-
ers in what a great education can do.
“Everything we have in life we attribut-
ed to having a great education,” Mr.
Kennealy said. “It’s gratitude. But it’s
also the recognition that a great educa-
tion is not available to everyone else.”

who has argued cases in Judge

The Supreme Court advised
Judge Strine that if he wished to
“ruminate on what the proper di-

forms, such as law review arti-
cles, the classroom, continuing le-

Stephen Gillers, a professor of

said that the court’s admonition
was highly unusual.
“You rarely see this type of rul-

that a judicial opinion has a dis-

not supposed to be a platform for
your public agenda or your

Lawyer Says Ex-UBS Trader
Is Scapegoat for Bank Woes
By MARK SCOTT
LONDON — Kweku M. Adobo-
li, a former UBS trader in Lon-
don, was cast by the defense in
closing arguments on Friday as
the scapegoat for a multibillion-
dollar loss at the Swiss bank.
Charles Sherrard, Mr. Adobo-
li’s lawyer, told the jury that the
bank’s management had singled
out his client after a series of
scandals and missteps at UBS.
“He has had to bear the brunt
about what has been going on at
UBS,” Mr. Sherrard told the jury.
“He has been blamed for redun-
dancies, the share price fall and
reputational damage.”
Mr. Adoboli, 32, is charged with
six counts of fraud and false ac-
counting in connection with a
$2.3 billion loss at the bank. If
convicted, he could face more
than 10 years in prison. He has
pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The case may go to the jury early
next week.
Over the course of the trial, the
prosecution portrayed Mr. Ado-
boli as an “arrogant” investment
banker who sidestepped the
rules when it suited him. On
Thursday, Sasha Wass, the lead
prosecutor, called him a “gam-
bler” who was “playing God”
with the bank’s money.
The defense argued that the al-
legations represented a “charac-
ter assassination,” which failed to
highlight the role of the manage-
ment of UBS in condoning his
trading activity. Mr. Sherrard
added that the bank’s actions
were representative of an indus-
try driven solely to make money,
an industry that puts enormous
pressure on traders to make prof-
its.
“Senior management are nev-
er to blame,” Mr. Sherrard said.

when Judge Strine’s unique judi-
cial stylings were on prominent
display. During a hearing in a
lawsuit between the fashion de-
signer Tory Burch and her for-
mer husband, Christopher Burch,
he described the dispute as a
“drunken WASP fest.” At the
center of the case is whether Mr.
Burch, in starting his own retail
stores, C. Wonder, borrowed too
heavily from Ms. Burch’s suc-
cessful chain.
During the hearing, Judge
Strine addressed scheduling is-
sues in the case, and said, “I
didn’t see any reason to burden
anyone’s Hanukkah, New Year’s,
Christmas, Kwanzaa, Festivus
with this preppy clothing dis-
pute.”
He went on to consider why he
gets assigned all the preppy
clothing cases, noting that he had
recently heard a dispute involv-
ing J. Crew. That led to a critique
of a certain line of rain boots.
“What’s a duck shoe?” he
asked. “You see all these freaks
wearing this really ugly — I like
L. L. Bean, but those duck shoes
are ugly. I mean, there’s no way
He earned more than $9.4 mil-
lion in total compensation in 2011
and could have received substan-
tially more as chief executive. Mr.
Stevens earned about $25 million
last year. In a filing with the Se-
curities and Exchange Commis-
sion late Friday, Lockheed said
Mr. Kubasik would receive a $3.5
million separation payment, but
would not be entitled to his bonus
for 2012. His bonus last year was
$2.275 million.
Mr. Stevens, 61, has been Lock-
heed’s chief executive since 2004
and is retiring from that role.
The board said that Mr. Ste-
vens’s title would shift to “execu-
tive chairman” on Jan. 1, signify-
ing that he would play a more ac-
tive, day-to-day advisory role in
2013 to help Ms. Hewson in her
transition. Mr. Stevens said the
company had a deep enough
case, and is not permitted to com-
ment on criminal cases, accord-
ing to British law.
During almost five hours of
closing arguments on Friday, the
defense rebutted accusations
that Mr. Adoboli acted alone to
create false trades and hide
losses from 2008 to 2011. Mr. Sher-
rard told the jury that several lay-
ers of management knew about
the activities, but they did not
stop Mr. Adoboli because he was
earning profits.
Mr. Adoboli joined UBS in 2003
and rose quickly to work on the
Delta One desk, a plain-vanilla
version of derivatives trading.
Traders in the unit create invest-
ments that track specific finan-
cial assets, like a basket of com-
pany stocks.
He is accused of creating false
trades to hide his losses, accord-
ing to prosecutors. They claimed
that Mr. Adoboli created separate
accounts, which he called his
“umbrella,” to mask the profits
and losses from his unauthorized
activities.
The defense said Mr. Adoboli’s
activities were well known in the
bank. His supervisors, according
to the defense, condoned the ac-
tions because they proved to be
profitable.
Mr. Adoboli’s team earned $8.8
million in 2010, Mr. Sherrard said.
That figure rose to $52 million for
just the second quarter of 2011. In
a single day, the unit posted a $6
million profit, he said.
“The next level of supervisors
knew much of what he was do-
ing,” Mr. Sherrard said. “For al-
most three years, everyone
basked in his glory.”
While Mr. Sherrard acknowl-
edged that his client had lied to
UBS officials, he said Mr. Adoboli
had been buying time to recoup
his losses. The former trader also
initially said he was solely to
blame in order to protect his col-
leagues, his lawyer claimed.
Later, Mr. Adoboli said others
at UBS had been aware of his ac-
tions. Mr. Sherrard also told the
jury that members of his client’s
team used the so-called umbrella
to cover up their trading activity.
The prosecutors are “trying to
desperately portray this man as a
rogue trader,” his lawyer said.
“The minute you see that the
whole desk was working as a
team,” the prosecution’s case
falls apart, Mr. Sherrard added.
The defense similarly coun-
tered claims that Mr. Adoboli had
gambled with the bank’s money
for personal gain. Mr. Sherrard
read excerpts from the former
trader’s UBS evaluations, which
portrayed him as a hard-working,
humble team player. He added
that these glowing reviews de-
bunked accusations that he was
driven by profit.

Sherrard said.

Iberia, in ‘Fight for Survival,’ Says It Will Reorganize
By NICOLA CLARK
PARIS — The parent company
of Iberia, Spain’s money-losing
air carrier, warned Friday that a
deepening recession there and
heightened competition from
low-cost airlines had placed it in a
“fight for survival.” It announced
a sweeping reorganization that
would eliminate at least 4,500
jobs and cut capacity by 15 per-
cent.
The planned reductions, equiv-
alent to more than 20 percent of
the airline’s work force, came as
the company, the International
Airlines Group, reported a 24 per-
cent drop in third-quarter net
profit and forecast an operating
loss of 120 million euros ($152 mil-
lion) for the full year.
“Iberia is in a fight for survival
and we will transform it to reduce
its cost base so it can grow profit-
ably in the future,” Willie Walsh,
American Airlines and Pilots Agree on a New Contract
The Associated Press
American Airlines and its pi-
lots union have reached an agree-
ment in principle over a new con-
tract, which could ultimately
pave the way for the airline to
exit bankruptcy, the pilots union
said Friday.
The union’s board must still
sign off on the deal and present it
to pilots for a ratification vote.
That could happen as soon as
three weeks from now.
The AMR Corporation, the par-
ent of American Airlines, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
last November. It has reached la-

As the hearing continued,
Judge Strine suggested that
there might be nothing unique
about the clothing lines of Mr.
Burch and Ms. Burch, who di-
vorced in 2007. He stumped one of
the lawyers in the case by quiz-
zing him on Ralph Lauren’s origi-
nal surname, which is Lifschitz.
After his lengthy sidebar on
preppy attire, Judge Strine said
he was deep in “an autumnal
Cheever phase,” referring to the
novelist and short story writer.
He then encouraged the lawyers
to read Cheever’s works, go see
the Broadway revival of “Who’s
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and
watch “Mad Men.”
“We’ll be all geared up and in
the mood for this sort of drunken
WASP fest,” Judge Strine said,
and then proceeded to ask about
the litigants’ religion. “Are the
Burches WASPs?” he asked.
Robert Isen, the chief legal offi-
cer at Tory Burch, hesitated be-
fore responding, “Tory Burch is
Jewish and Chris is not Jewish.”
The answer did not entirely
satisfy Judge Strine. “But not
strates our unyielding commit-
ment to holding every employee
accountable for their actions.”

in a statement. Iberia’s unions
were given a deadline of Jan. 31
to reach an agreement on the job
cuts or face possibly deeper re-
trenchments.
Labor unions have been brac-
ing for deep layoffs at Iberia for
months as the grip of Spain’s re-
cession tightens and I.A.G. grad-
ually shifts operation of many do-
mestic and European flights to its
low-cost subsidiary, Iberia Ex-
press. On Thursday, I.A.G., which
owns 46 percent of Vueling, a ri-
val Spanish low-cost carrier,
made a 113 million euro bid for
the rest of the airline. It said,
though, that it had no immediate
plans to merge it with Iberia Ex-
press.
“The company is burning 1.7
million euros every day,” Rafael
Sánchez-Lozano, Iberia’s chief
executive, said in a statement.
“Iberia has to modernize and
bor agreements with all of its un-
ions except for the pilots. The air-
line has about 7,500 active pilots.
The pilots rejected a previous
contract proposal intended to
save American more than $300
million a year. It would have giv-
en the pilots pay raises and a 13.5
percent stake in the company af-
ter it emerges from bankruptcy
protection. But there were also
concessions outsourcing some
flying to other airlines that many
pilots did not like.
The contract was rejected by 61

that behind this week’s Supreme

have its roots in a disagreement
over an arcane subject: the de-

this year, while it forecast global

total revenue, which was just
$43.5 million. That was a 17 per-
cent drop from revenue in the
same quarter last year. Although
the loss included a $44.3 million
noncash write-down related to
the shrinking value of two of its
magazines, the company until re-
cently has been bleeding cash,
which dropped from $38.5 million
to just $17.4 million in the quarter.
The company said it would lay off
about 70 employees, 12 percent of
its work force, and discontinue its
stand-alone print version of the
magazine Everyday Food.
None of this bad news has
made much of a dent on Ms.
Stewart’s own compensation.
Her base annual pay rose from
$1.7 million in 2009 to $2 million in
2010 and 2011, and she received a
$3 million retention bonus when
she signed her new contract in
2009. She gets an additional mini-
mum of $2 million a year under
an “intangible assets license
agreement,” which gives the
company the rights to “Martha
Stewart’s lifestyle and the public
perception of Martha Stewart’s
lifestyle,” including such details
as how she arranges her outdoor
furniture.
Her corporate perks are well
known, and she has long blurred
the line between business and
personal expenses. She sub-
mitted as a business expense the
$17,000 cost of her now-infamous
holiday trip to the Mexican luxu-
ry resort Las Ventanas al Parai-
so. She arrived at the resort the
day she dumped her shares in the
biotechnology company ImClone
upon learning, en route, that the
company’s chief executive was
trying to sell his shares ahead of
a negative Food and Drug Ad-
ministration decision on the com-
pany’s principal drug. (She set-
tled charges of insider trading
brought by the Securities and Ex-
change Commission after being
convicted of making criminal
false statements to cover up the
reason for the sale.) Then she
had her accountant tell her com-
panion on the trip that she’d have
to pay her “fair share” of the
costs, according to testimony in
her 2004 trial.
The company doesn’t break
out Ms. Stewart’s reimbursed ex-
penses, but general and adminis-
trative expenses amounted to a
lofty $11 million in the last quar-
ter. That number, of course, in-
cludes many expenses besides
Ms. Stewart’s, like other execu-
tives’ salaries.
The company does reveal what
it calls other compensation for
Ms. Stewart, which in 2011 includ-
ed a personal trainer and other
expenses for personal fitness; a
weekend driver; security serv-
ices; fees for on-air appearances;
unspecified personnel costs not
otherwise reimbursed by the
company; insurance premiums;
and an unidentified charitable
contribution, which added up to
over $1 million.
Ms. Stewart also receives stock
options, nearly $1.8 million worth
in 2009 through 2011, though she
has not received any options so
far this year. Still, as Mr. Hodg-
son put it, “Why is she even get-
ting stock options? Her interests
are already thoroughly aligned
with the company, given her
ownership stake.” Moreover, the
intangible license agreement “is
very unusual,” Mr. Hodgson said.
Consumer Confidence
Climbs to a 5-Year High
By Reuters
An increasingly upbeat view of
the economy and the jobs market
drove consumer sentiment to its
highest level in more than five
years in early November, while a
jump in wholesale inventories
suggested the economy grew
more than initially estimated last
quarter.
It was the fourth month that
Americans adopted a rosier eco-
nomic outlook, even as financial
markets showed increasing anxi-
ety on fear that the spending cuts
and tax increases set to take ef-
fect in the new year could push
the country back into recession.
Separate data from the govern-
ment on Friday showed whole-
sale inventories rose in Septem-
ber by the most in nine months,
prompting economists to raise
their forecasts for third-quarter
growth. Inventories are a key ele-
ment of the government’s meas-
ure of economic growth and can
highlight underlying strength or
weakness.
The index of consumer senti-
ment from Thomson Reuters and
the University of Michigan rose
to 84.9 in November from 82.6,
topping economists’ expectations
for a reading of 83.
It was the highest level since
July 2007. The measure of con-
sumer expectations also hit the
highest level in more than five
years, rising to 80.8 from 79.0.
Most interviews for the survey
were done before Tuesday’s pres-
idential election.
“It shows that the U.S. econ-
Mayor Michael Bloomberg with Martha Stewart last month. Her company lost $50.7 million in the third quarter and its share price has fallen to about $2.80.
All told, Ms. Stewart’s compen-
sation was $9.8 million in 2009,
$5.9 million in 2010 and $5.5 mil-
lion in 2011, or $21.2 million over
the last three years, even as the
company was in a downward spi-
ral. Just before Ms. Stewart got
out of prison in 2005, her shares
were trading at over $34 and she
was a billionaire. After plunging
during the financial crisis, they
were above $8 a share in Septem-
ber 2009. They traded this week
at about $2.80.
Asked about the issues raised
in this column, a spokesman for
Martha Stewart Living Omni-
media declined to comment and
said Ms. Stewart had no com-
ment.
Over the years, many have
tried — and failed — to press this
point upon Ms. Stewart. “She
didn’t get it. Or perhaps she
didn’t want to get it,” said one for-
mer executive, who, like other
current and former employees,
asked not to be named to avoid
retaliation. “She wanted both.
She’d say, ‘I should be paid twice
what I’m being paid and the
stock should be at $20. I am this
company.’“
Someone familiar with her
thinking told me: “It’s fair to say
that she remains very frustrated
with the fact that she has a com-
pany which in her mind has the
same platform as a Ralph Lauren
and should be a $3 to $4 billion
company and it’s not. It’s very
small, and it’s shrinking.”
Ms. Stewart has sometimes
blamed the board and former
management. But as the control-
ling shareholder, Ms. Stewart
omy is on a decent footing head-
ing into the so-called fiscal cliff,”
said Joe Manimbo, a market ana-
lyst at Western Union Business
Solutions in Washington.
“There’s a lot at stake, and
there’s a lot of momentum that
could be lost if lawmakers don’t
get their act together.”
The survey director, Richard
Curtin, said the re-election of
President Obama should not
have an impact on overall ex-
pectations, but if Washington
does not act quickly to avoid the
$600 billion in automatic spend-
ing cuts and tax increases, con-
sumers could face a shock.
But the chances of a compre-
hensive legislative solution to the
tax increases and spending cuts
before Jan. 1 are considered
slight, and members of Congress
have been looking for a tempo-
rary fix to buy time.
While a negative conclusion to
the discussions poses a risk to
confidence and spending, “uncer-
tainty over the ultimate outcome
doesn’t appear to have troubled
consumers unduly thus far,” a
Barclays economist, Peter A.
Newland, wrote.
The Commerce Department
reported that total wholesale in-
ventories gained 1.1 percent to

highest estimate in a Reuters poll

the board. After some friction
over Ms. Stewart’s compensa-
tion, two highly respected direc-
tors — Jill A. Greenthal, a senior
adviser at the financial manage-
ment firm Blackstone, and Brad-
ley E. Singer, a former chief fi-
nancial officer for Discovery
Communications — were re-
placed on the board. One of their
replacements was Frederic Fek-
kai, one of Ms. Stewart’s hair-
dressers and a celebrity in his
own right. He now serves on the
compensation committee that
granted Ms. Stewart her new
contract. “You have to question
whether these negotiations were
really at arm’s length,” Mr. Hodg-
son said.
And even though Mr. Fekkai
helps determine Ms. Stewart’s
pay, the Martha Stewart Web site
praises his skills and hair care
products without disclosing any
potential conflict of interest.
“Martha loves the way Frederic

one example. “Martha uses

much discipline. “The danger is

Clashes With Strong Economic Data
By Reuters
Stocks advanced slightly on
Friday but failed to avert the
worst week for markets since
June, as investors turned their at-
tention from the presidential
election to the coming negotia-
tions over impending tax in-
creases and spending cuts.
The market gave up some ear-
ly gains after President Obama
and House Speaker John Boeh-
ner, in separate public remarks,
made it clear that partisan spar-
ring over taxes and budget cuts
to address the deficit would prob-
ably dominate the next several
weeks.
The Standard & Poor’s 500-

sion up 0.17 percent, but it fell 2.4
percent for the week, its worst
performance since early June.
“At this point, there’s no elec-
tion, and there’s nothing else that
can distract. The junk has filtered
out and the politicians will be
forced to make a decision on the
fiscal cliff,” said Chris Hobart,
chief executive and founder of
the Hobart Financial Group, an
investment management and fi-
nancial planning company in

stock’s value.”
The one bright spot in the com-
pany’s otherwise dismal recent
earnings — merchandising — has
also been clouded by Ms. Stew-
art’s seeming insensitivity to po-
tential conflicts of interest. Part
of the increase in merchandising
revenue in the most recent quar-
ter came from a deal Ms. Stewart
struck earlier this year with J. C.

dollars in guaranteed payments,
J. C. Penney plans to sell Martha

products in in-house boutiques,
part of a J. C. Penney turnaround
strategy.

Stewart already sold exclusive
rights to such products to it in a
contract that extends until Janu-
ary 2018 — and that the contract
explicitly states that “any other
department store” is prohibited
from selling goods in Macy’s ex-
clusive categories. In other
words, Macy’s contends that Ms.
Stewart sold the same rights
twice, and to one of its major
competitors at that.
In a rare public dispute be-
tween ostensible partners,
Macy’s sued Martha Stewart Liv-
ing. A judge ruled that “a cause of
action exists in favor of Macy’s”
and barred Martha Stewart from
selling at J. C. Penney “soft home
(bedding, bath and kitchen tex-
tiles); housewares (dinnerware
tabletop and gadgets); home
décor (candles and frames);
cookware and furniture” pending
a final resolution of the lawsuit.
Martha Stewart’s company said
it planned to introduce Martha
Stewart products in J. C. Penney
early next year. (J. C. Penney is
already selling products under
the Emeril brand, which is owned
by Martha Stewart Living.) But
unless her company prevails at
the trial, scheduled to begin later
this month, or reaches a poten-
tially costly settlement with
Macy’s, it’s hard to figure out
what Martha Stewart will be able
to sell there. Macy’s and J. C.

pending litigation, and Martha
Stewart Living declined to speci-
fy any products it would be able
to sell if the injunction continued.

itability and enhance asset val-
ue,” Mr. Kupinski maintained,
while acknowledging that the
company is still far from profit-
able.
The wild card, as it always has
been, is Martha Stewart herself.
“She could hang up her pots and
pans tomorrow and license her
brand, and the shareholders
might be better off,” the person
close to her told me. “But I’m
convinced she’ll be carried from
her portable kitchen to her coffin.
She’s not even close to the con-
cept of retirement. She works 70
hours a week. The flaw is, she’s
not a manager. She’s a brand
icon. She’s a visionary. But she’s
not a C.E.O.”
S.& P. information technology
sector index rose 0.6 percent.
Shares of Apple rebounded
from their slide into bear market
territory this week with a 1.7 per-
cent gain on Friday to close at
$547.06.
But the stock of the retailer
J. C. Penney slid 4.8 percent to
$20.64 and was the S.& P. 500’s
biggest decliner after the compa-
ny reported a sharper-than-ex-
pected decline in quarterly sales
at stores open at least a year.
Investors may be reacting to
the prospect of higher tax rates
next year by selling both losing
and winning stocks for the year
to reduce the tax impact from
their positions.
International Game Technol-
ogy, a maker of slot machines,
gained 5.2 percent to $13.50 after
reporting better-than-expected
fourth-quarter earnings.
Lions Gate Entertainment
jumped 14.3 percent to $16.68 af-
ter reporting better-than-expect-
ed earnings of $75.5 million,
helped by the studio’s block-
buster movie “The Hunger
Games.”
Interest rates were steady. The
Treasury’s benchmark 10-year
note rose 2/32, to 100 4/32, from 100
2/32 late Thursday, and the yield
slipped to 1.61 percent from 1.62
percent.
Remember the Neediest!

Americana at Its Most Felonious
By CHRIS SUELLENTROP
The Grand Theft Auto series of
video games is a rare cultural phe-
nomenon: incredibly popular (the
last version sold more than 25 million
copies globally), widely condemned
(by politicians like Hillary Rodham
Clinton and Joseph I. Lieberman)
and adored by the highbrow. (Junot
Díaz is a huge fan.) Yet its creators at
Rockstar Games have been able to
shroud themselves in relative mys-
face.
That episode was no exception. On
Tuesday Mr. O’Brien responded defen-
sively to a self-deprecating comment
by Brian Austin Green about working
on cable. “Hey, don’t knock cable,” Mr.
O’Brien said. “I’m on cable now, too.”
The next day Mindy Kaling, talking
about her Fox show, “The Mindy
Project,” said that when you put your
name in the title, you were harder to
replace. “That’s why I did it,” Mr.
O’Brien said, pausing so that everyone
got the implication. “What an unpleas-

Isn’t it time to leave this dead end?
While some grudges can be leveraged
into explosive comedy, this one risks

To the Scene
Of a Memoir
By LAURA TILLMAN
BROWNSVILLE, Tex. — It was the
first time Domingo Martinez had re-
turned here in nearly 10 years, and it
seemed as if nothing and everything
had changed. His street, once rutted
caliche, was now potholed pavement.
Favorite stores had shuttered, but new
mom-and-pops still sold tamales and
tacos, and the 18-foot border fence be-
tween the United States and Mexico
slashed rust brown through farmland
panoramas.
Mostly, Mr. Martinez marveled at
how the decade had worn on his grand-
mother Virginia Campos Rubio, soft-
ening that gun-slinging lioness into a
slow-moving 85-year-old with a gentle
smile. Ms. Rubio is one of the central
characters in Mr. Martinez’s book,
“The Boy Kings of Texas: A Memoir,”
which is a finalist for the 2012 National
Book Award in nonfiction. In the book
Mr. Martinez describes how an abu-
sive, starvation-plagued childhood
filled Ms. Rubio with rage, making her
both loved and feared in the barrio
where he grew up. She still keeps a pis-
tol on her bed, alongside a copy of the
Bible, a doll and a bag of cheese puffs.
At 40, Mr. Martinez has spent most
of his adult life both running away from
that Brownsville neighborhood and re-
visiting it through his prose.
He’s decidedly the underdog in the
National Book Award contest. He’s the
only finalist in the nonfiction category
who has not won a Pulitzer Prize, the

nominee to have never been on the

Gee, Conan, That Joke Sure Seems Familiar Arts, Briefly

months after replacing Mr. Leno
on “The Tonight Show,” he was
told by NBC that it would reinstall
Mr. Leno in the 11:35 time slot and
push Mr. Conan’s “Tonight Show”
to 12:05. Mr. O’Brien wouldn’t go
along with the plan and left,
though with a hefty severance
(reportedly $32 million) in hand.
But let’s face it: jokes about Mr.
Leno are even more tired than
Mr. Leno’s jokes. And when Mr.
Leno and David Letterman ap-
peared on the shows of Craig Fer-
guson and Jimmy Kimmel last
week, the late-night wars settled
into a tense peace. Mr. O’Brien’s

Returning
To the Scene
Of a Memoir
Of Struggle
From First Arts Page
staff of The New York Times, The Wash-
ington Post or Newsday. Until a few
months ago, Mr. Martinez was selling
business cards at a print shop near Se-
attle, where he lives.
Though the book is his first, it almost
certainly won’t be his last: he’s at work
on a second memoir, and the rights to
“The Boy Kings of Texas” have been op-
tioned by Ventanarosa, Salma Hayek’s
production company.
In the book Mr. Martinez holds the
poor border city of Brownsville to ac-
count for some of the darker episodes of
his boyhood. Violence is a major compo-
nent of the book’s 37 chapters, along
with alcoholism, machismo and adul-
tery; the descriptions are buoyed with
humor.
When he returned to Brownsville for
a few days in late October, he wasn’t
sure how he’d be received.
“I was terrified about coming back to
Texas,” Mr. Martinez said. “I was afraid
that I was going to have a violent con-
frontation — that I’d get shot.”
In short, not everyone is happy with
the portrait he’s painted. Lecherous
neighbors and abusive relatives pop-
ulate the memoir’s pages. Mr. Martinez
said the accounts themselves hadn’t
been disputed, but that didn’t make the
public airing of dirty laundry easier to
bear.
“I was drawn toward the pain,” he
said. “If the memory felt uncomfortable,
if it was something I knew our family
didn’t talk about, I’d attack it head-on.”
The reservoir of anger that propelled
Mr. Martinez through the writing pro-
cess had dissipated by the time he fin-
ished the book. He also saw a therapist.
No brawls took place on the trip. In-
stead Mr. Martinez was fed caldo de res,
a beef-and-vegetable soup (prepared by
his father) and mole with chicken and
rice (prepared by his grandmother). He
was applauded by more than a thou-
sand students, visited by old teachers
and given many congratulations. His
immediate family supports the book,
though he said it had been too painful
for his parents to read. His grandmoth-
er doesn’t speak English, and Mr. Mar-
tinez said he hoped she wouldn’t be ex-
posed to the book’s contents.

promotional gimmick: “O Come All Ye
Faithful Owners of Big-Screen TVs,”
“An Auld Lang Lineup of Seasonal
Films” and “The First (of Many) Noël
Movies” are still available.
It is not our purpose here to bemoan
the ever-earlier arrival of the holiday
entertainment season, and certainly
television isn’t the only offender; the
“Radio City Christmas Spectacular”
was to begin performances on Friday,
as was the Broadway musical “Elf.” Al-
though alarm must be expressed at the
prospect that this phenomenon will
spread to other holidays. Imagine if peo-
ple started flogging Flag Day in April!
Er, for you noncelebrators, Flag Day is
June 14.
Anyway, our intent is simply to warn
against overexposure to made-for-TV
holiday movies. Because if you watch
too many, you might become obsessed
with the tics and patterns of these mov-
ies in a way that could make you ques-
tion your own sanity.
For instance, given that these films
are supposed to celebrate the season of
comfort and joy and, for Christians, one
particularly important birth, it’s alarm-
ing how much death there is in them. A
common plot device in these formulaic
Remember the Neediest!
THE NEW YORK TIMES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2012
RICHARD TERMINE FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES
Domingo Martinez with his grandmother Virginia Campos Rubio, a central figure in his “Boy Kings of Texas,” a National Book Award finalist.
On the trip he returned to his alma
mater, Homer Hanna High School. A
precocious child, he quickly concluded
that he was smarter than his peers, and
spent his childhood frustrated and
openly dismissive of many of those
around him. Coming back as an inspira-
tional speaker was a bit vexing — he
wasn’t sure how his story provided a
positive example for local kids. He cut
class, did drugs, quit college and yet
somehow ended up here, as a finalist for
one of the most prestigious prizes in
American letters.
But as students at Hanna asked him
about his writing process, a role model
unwittingly emerged. Mr. Martinez de-
scribed decades of single-minded dedi-
cation. Keep a notebook with you at all
times, he told them. Send your work out
to any publication you can find, and nev-
er give up.
tales is that someone can’t get over the
loss of a loved one.
In “The Wishing Tree,” which centers
on holiday angst at a boarding school, a
young teacher is having trouble with
the death of his wife. There’s also a dead
wife in “The Christmas Consultant,” in
which David Hasselhoff plays an in-
credibly irritating adviser hired by a
couple to pep up the family Christmas.
(Why is this particular film being
shown before Thanksgiving? To make
you thankful that Mr. Hasselhoff isn’t at
your house for the holidays.)
A slight variation on the morbid
theme occurs in “It’s Christmas, Car-
ol!,” on Nov. 18 on Hallmark: Carol, a
busy publisher, gets a Dickens-style vis-
it from her dead former boss (drolly
played by Carrie Fisher). An ex-wife
has to die in a car wreck to set the plot
of Lifetime’s “Holiday Spin” in motion
(Nov. 18). And in “The Christmas
Heart,” on Dec. 2 on Hallmark, about a
teenager who needs a heart transplant,
death does not take a holiday, either, be-
cause fresh hearts don’t grow on trees.
Unemployment, or the threat of it, is
also dismayingly common in this fare.
Perhaps that’s partly because, in real
life, layoffs often occur late in the year
for accounting reasons. But more likely
it’s because the writers are churning
out these movies so fast that they have
to grab the most obvious, hackneyed
stress points available to propel their
thin stories, and what’s more stressful
than losing your job just when you’re
The first hearty ovation at the New
York Philharmonic’s concert at Avery
Fisher Hall on Thursday evening came
early, before a note was played. The
program was to begin a complete sur-
vey of Brahms’s symphonies
STEVE and concertos, not in itself a
headline-grabbing develop-
SMITH ment. But the real event was
the return of Kurt Masur, the
MUSIC
REVIEW orchestra’s conductor emeri-
tus.
Concerns about Mr. Masur’s health
have circulated since April, when he in-
curred injuries after falling off a podium
in Paris. He withdrew from nearly all of
his engagements through September to
recover, though he shared a Tangle-
wood Festival concert in July with his
son, the conductor Ken-David Masur.
And the elder Mr. Masur has since re-
vealed on his Web site that he has been

One student asked, “When you were
growing up in Brownsville, did you ever
think life would be so much easier if you
weren’t Mexican?”
Mr. Martinez paused for a moment.
A writer’s trip back to
Brownsville, Tex., and a
difficult childhood.
Even though his paternal grandparents
were born in Mexico, he didn’t identify

supposed to be buying presents for your
materialistic kids?
In “The Christmas Consultant,” the
family matriarch’s job is in jeopardy. In
“It’s Christmas, Carol!,” the heartless
Carol gives someone the boot on the
flimsiest excuse before the film is seven
minutes old. Even the paperboy isn’t
safe: in “The Christmas Heart,” the
opening credits haven’t stopped rolling
when one is threatened with a firing for
an errant throw.
This is also an unhealthy sort of sea-
son, as portrayed in these movies, and
we’re not talking the sniffles. There’s
the kid with the bad ticker in “The
Christmas Heart.” Cancer has a cameo
suffering from Parkinson’s disease.
Warm applause greeted his arrival
onstage with the two soloists to be fea-
tured in Brahms’s Double Concerto: the
Philharmonic concertmaster Glenn Dic-
terow and the cellist Alisa Weilerstein.
When Mr. Masur took his position in
front of the orchestra, applause surged
again: louder, longer and meant specifi-
cally for him. Tall and imposing, despite
evidence of unsteadiness, Mr. Masur
worked without a podium, at times
lightly grasping a rail behind him.
That the Double Concerto got off to a
bumpy start was unsurprising, perhaps,
given that Ms. Weilerstein was stepping
in at the last minute to replace Carter
Brey, the Philharmonic’s principal cel-
list, who was reported to be ill. (Ms.
Weilerstein, a spokeswoman said, had
rushed down from Montreal in time for
an orchestra rehearsal.)
From the start, the ensemble blazed
gloriously. Ms. Weilerstein’s entry re-
flected her characteristic Romantic in-
tensity: head bent low over her instru-
While he might not have set out to
tackle questions of race and identity in
his memoir, those themes emerged
through the writing. As he began
putting the stories of his youth on the
page, he also came to conclusions about
how American and Mexican cultural ex-
pectations influenced his family.
Those ideas were discussed during
another event at the University of Tex-
as, Brownsville, and its partner institu-
tion, Texas Southmost College, where
Mr. Martinez was invited to speak by
Antonio Zavaleta, a professor of anthro-
pology and sociology. Mr. Zavaleta said
that he instantly saw his own experi-
ences in Brownsville mirrored in “The
Boy Kings of Texas,” good and bad.
Much of the book “is negative, no
question,” Mr. Zavaleta said in an in-
terview. “But I think it’s important for
these youngsters to see that their future
LIFETIME
on “The Wishing Tree.” And so on. Be-
tween the unemployment and the ill-
ness, it’s enough to make you want to
change the lyrics of that Chipmunks
song from “Please, Christmas, don’t be
late” to “Please, Christmas, don’t come
at all.”
A holiday movie also demands uplift,
though, so it is common in these films
for characters to be work-obsessed until
someone else — Mr. Hasselhoff or Ms.
Dead Former Boss Fisher or whoever
— explains that they are missing out on
what’s important in life. Watch enough
of these movies, though, and you begin
to wonder how that squares with the
job-loss plot device mentioned earlier. If

ment or tossed back in seeming rapture,
she lingered over phrases, personaliz-
ing them with ardor and soulfulness.
Mr. Dicterow, though more businesslike
in his demeanor, matched her tempera-
ment with bravado and sweetness.
Midway through the first movement,
one of Ms. Weilerstein’s strings slipped
off its tuning peg, bringing the music to
a halt. She recovered quickly, and the
movement continued. The soloists
meshed beautifully in a prayerful An-
dante; in the boisterous finale Mr. Dic-
terow’s almost capricious swagger pro-
vided vivid contrast to Ms. Weilerstein’s
dreaminess. Mr. Masur was an alert ac-
companist throughout; still, the music
felt fitful at times.
No such caveat applied in Brahms’s
Second Symphony. Mr. Masur favored a
broad pace, but the playing flowed
smoothly, with a luminosity and author-

deep command of this repertory and his
continuing affinity with this orchestra.

is really in their hands, and there’s light
out there, and you can make it through
these dark times and into the light.”
Mr. Martinez is preparing a speech in
case he actually wins the National Book
Award on Wednesday. He’s not exactly
sure what he’ll say, but for now he’s fo-
cused on the dedication of his agent, Al-
ice Fried Martell, and his publisher, Ly-
ons Press, which took a risk on the
book. Agent and writer will meet for the
first time when he travels to New York
for the ceremony.
After Mr. Martinez departed Browns-
ville, he marveled at the hometown re-
ception he’d received. Maybe the years
had taken the edge off his memories;
maybe the nomination had given him
the validation he craved as a child.
“Possibly the most beautiful side ef-
fect of this,” he said, “is how it’s brought
my family together.”
The wonder of TV
climate change:
snowflakes that never
seem to melt.
you’re not obsessive about your work,
don’t you leave yourself vulnerable to
being canned? Sure, the mom in “The
Christmas Consultant” learns a lesson
about making time for her family, but
what we don’t see is “The Christmas
Consultant II,” in which Donald Trump
turns up just long enough to note her re-
duced productivity and say, “You’re
fired.” It’s a vicious circle.
What’s really alarming, though, is
what’s going on with the weather in
these films. If you watch enough of
them, you begin to go a little cuckoo
over the observation that sometimes
the snow melts when it hits human
skin; other times it seems oddly melt-
resistant. In some, like “The Wishing
Tree,” it’s clearly cold because you can
see the actors’ breath in the outdoor
scenes, whereas in others there’s not a
wintry breath in sight, as if the snow
were somehow radiating heat.
Sure, maybe this is just a function of
where, when and how these things were
shot. But maybe it’s more evidence that
global warming is turning the weather
into a beast beyond our understanding.
So here’s the holiday message take-
away from these movies: Apparently,
although we all work too hard, we’re all
going to die unemployed, not to mention
disease-ridden, haunted by Carrie Fish-
er, harangued by David Hasselhoff and
surrounded by burning snow. And to all
a good night.

Icarus Haunts a Verdi Work That’s Cloaked in Noir

cused on a protagonist.) Yet it’s still
Grand Theft Auto: In a demo version
one character pours a ring of gasoline
around a truck and lights it on fire.
During a recent conversation in
SoHo, Dan Houser, Rockstar’s head
writer and vice president for creative —
as well as the brother of the studio pres-
ident, Sam Houser — spoke about what
he and Rockstar are trying to achieve
with Grand Theft Auto V, how his Eng-
lishman-in-New-York status informs
his writing, and whether he thinks the
studio has changed with time. These
are edited excerpts from the conversa-
tion; a longer version can be read at
nytimes.com/arts.
Q. What do you want people to get out
of the games that you
make?
A. Obviously, we
want them to be en-
tertained. We want
them to be stimulat-
ed, questioned,
amused, all of the
other higher and low-
er things one gets
Dan Houser from entertainment.
Books tell you
something, movies show you some-
thing, games let you do something.
Open-world games have an enormous
strength, creatively. As well as letting
you do something — run around, fly a
helicopter, be the hero, be the antihero,
whatever — they also let you be in the
world, passively. So we’ve taken some
of the things the director used to con-
trol within the movie and handed it to
you as the consumer of the medium.
We have a vision for what we think
interactive entertainment can become,
and each time we get closer to realizing
those ambitions.
Q. What is that vision?
A. It’s the stuff we’re trying to realize
with this game. It’s a world brought to
life, in which you are able to exist and
explore and have the benefits of some
kind of narrative pull-through, a world
that exists and doesn’t exist at the
same time. We’ve made something that
sort of is Los Angeles and sort of isn’t.
And that’s deliberate, that it isn’t an ex-
act replication of it. We wanted this
post-crash feeling, because it works
thematically in this game about bank
robbers. And that seems like it’s going
to endure through the next year.
Q. Is it fair to say that your games are
satires of American culture?
A. I think it’s fair to say that they are set
in a world that is a satire of American
media culture.
Q. Does your Britishness give you a
perspective on this country that illumi-
THE NEW YORK TIMES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2012
nates your satire?
A. I don’t think anyone in America real-
ly understands what growing up in
Britain in the ’70s and ’80s was like.
Eighty percent of the television was
American. Every movie you saw was
American. Even though there are all
these great British pop stars, 95 percent
of them sing in American accents, and
they all sing in an American idiom. So
there was a great love of America, and
maybe some junior-partner resent-
ments for it. But it’s a very different re-
lationship compared to America’s con-
temporary relationship with Britain,
where a few small things are cherry-
picked and told how wonderful they
are.
My brother and I have a certain per-
spective as people from London who
then moved to New York. But the guys
in Scotland at our Rockstar North stu-
dio, they have a different perspective,
as people who never lived here. And
then Lazlow Jones, who writes a lot of
the satire with me, is a good ol’ boy
from Oklahoma. The games have al-
ways been, in some ways, a British re-
sponse to Americana, rather than
America. But it’s not just that.
Q. You’re now 39. Has growing older
changed your approach to video
games?

SARA KRULWICH/THE NEW YORK TIMES
A scene from Grand Theft Auto V, set in a city that looks very much like Los
Angeles. Players can fly this helicopter, as well as a plane.
A. In terms of whether we’re too old to
be prancing around in allegorical span-
dex, no, I don’t think so. I suppose our
reputation as a company was that we’re
profoundly antisocial, histrionic and
looking to be controversial. And we sim-

the overall mood and look of the produc-
tion are obvious and glib, despite the
sleek, abstract imagery of Paul Stein-
berg’s sets and the handsome suits and
dresses by the costume designer Bri-
gitte Reiffenstuel, which suggest the
color schemes of a black-and-white film.
As Verdi buffs know, he had particu-
lar trouble getting Antonio Somma’s li-
bretto for “Un Ballo” through the cen-
sors, who determined what could ap-
pear on an opera stage in Italy. Like
many productions of “Ballo” these days,
this one restores the initial Swedish set-
ting of the libretto, which is loosely
based on the historical King Gustavo,
who was assassinated at a masked ball
in Stockholm. But with its film noir im-
agery, this “Ballo” could be in any ear-
ly-20th-century locale.
The sets use intersecting and angular
flat panels, sometimes with gray-on-
gray flowered images, sometimes stark-
ly white. For the final ballroom scene, in
which the king is killed, the walls are
lined with mirrors that send blinding
shafts of light around the stage and into
the house.
But the king’s rooms are dominated
by a huge, classical-style mural showing
the mythological Icarus falling from the
sky, after trying to fly with wings he
made of feathers and wax, only to have
them melt when he got too close to the
sun. Ah, the king as Icarus. Get it? He is
a self-absorbed monarch who invites
disaster by shirking the needs of under-
lings and romancing the wife of his
trusted adviser Renato (who in this set-
ting is Count Anckarstrom). Icarus as a
metaphor is heavy-handed enough. But
a configuration of that mural looms over
every scene, no matter where it takes
place, and you get tired of looking at it.
I wish Mr. Alden had stuck more
closely to the film noir atmosphere, as
he does effectively in the opening scene.
During the prelude we see Gustavo
dressed in a smoking jacket, looking
discontented, sitting in a leather chair
and sipping brandy, then dozing off.
This image captures the mood of the
music and gets at the king’s character.
The first lines sung by the courtiers (the
Met choristers, sounding excellent, as
usual) when they enter are to wish that
the king be enlightened by beautiful
dreams (though the conspirators
among them mutter asides).
Mr. Álvarez, who has long boasted a
major tenor voice, can be a blunt and in-
elegant singer and an indifferent actor.
But Mr. Alden and Mr. Luisi do well by
him. Mr. Álvarez sings with subtlety,
shadings and soaring lyricism. Now and

then he lunged at high notes, and the
bottom of his range was weak. But this
was one of his most dramatically
charged and refined performances at
the Met.
Karita Mattila, who was to have sung
Amelia, withdrew in May. The assign-
ment went to Ms. Radvanovsky, who
was splendid. Her earthy texture and
quick vibrato are not to all tastes. But
her voice shimmers with emotion and
carries excitingly over the orchestra.
She is a compelling vocal artist who
knows what she is doing and brings in-
tensity and deep feeling to every
phrase.
She was particularly moving in the
scene in which her husband, here the
charismatic baritone Dmitri Hvorostov-
sky, having discovered her in a rendez-
vous with the king, tells her to prepare
to die. Confronting his wife, Mr. Hvoro-
stovsky shook Ms. Radvanovsky by the
shoulders, as if really ready to strangle
her. But the next moment he nestled his

head next to her face and kissed her, al-
most pleadingly, singing with his trade-
mark dark sound and supple phrasing,
which poignantly brought to life this
suffering husband’s love.
The most overtly comic scenes, in the
French manner, involve Oscar, the page,
a pants role, played here by the bright-
voiced coloratura soprano Kathleen
Kim, wearing a bit of a goatee. During
the sassy chorus that ends the first
scene, Ms. Kim led the courtiers in a
vaudeville routine, complete with shuf-
fling dance steps. As choreographed by
Maxine Braham, the routine was a little
too cute. Still, the silliness put an aptly
weird spin on Verdi’s nod to the sardon-
ic, French-styled humor. The scene with
Ulrica, the fortuneteller, represents the
Italianate Verdi at his most bleak and
ominous, and this production has the
powerhouse mezzo-soprano Dolora Za-
jick in the role.
This was Mr. Alden’s first time taking
on an entire Met production. Just this
summer I saw two of his productions
elsewhere: a bold staging of Britten’s
“Billy Budd” at the English National
Opera in London, and a handsome, viv-
id presentation of a Rossini rarity,
“Maometto II,” at the Santa Fe Opera.
In comparison, his “Ballo” comes
across as much less assured, too reliant
on the obvious. Something about the
Met, with all its history and influence,
has a way of throwing even internation-
ally acclaimed directors off their game.
game we made, if for no other reason
than showing that we could make an in-
teresting game about anything.
Q. I hear the episode when a fan un-
locked some hidden code inside Grand
Theft Auto: San Andreas and ended up
prompting a Federal Trade Commission
inquiry was traumatic for your compa-
ny.
A. It’s quite hard having your in-box
read by lawyers, in a country where
you’re only a resident. It was a really
tough time, it shook us to our core, and
we found it very, very unpleasant to go
through. As anyone would, being told
off for stuff when you felt it was the me-
dium you worked in that was under at-
tack, not the nature of the content.
Q. There are people who still aren’t de-
lighted by the treatment of women in
your games.
A. Of course. But is their argument that
in a game about gangsters and thugs
and street life, there are prostitutes and
strippers — that that is inappropriate?
I don’t think we revel in the mistreat-
ment of women at all. I just think in the
world we’re representing, in Grand
Theft Auto, that it’s appropriate.
Q. The closest thing to Grand Theft
Auto I can think of that someone is do-
ing in a different medium is the work of
David Simon, who has tried to capture
cities, in “The Wire” but even more so
in “Treme.” It’s quite different, but TV
is similar in the sense that people spend
30, 40 hours with a show.
A. I haven’t seen “Treme.” I never even
saw “The Wire.” One of my weird disci-
plines is that I don’t really watch a lot of
those shows, if they relate to what we
do. I only watched a tiny bit of “The So-
pranos.” No “Boardwalk Empire.” No
“Breaking Bad.” Wherever it’s too close
to crime, gangster, underbelly fiction,
and it’s supercontemporary, I decided,
for professional reasons, I have to avoid
it.
Q. At this stage in the process, what’s
left to do with Grand Theft Auto V?
A. We are editing, fixing, removing, re-
placing, adding, avidly. It’s the equiva-
lent of, if you wrote a book, and you had
two million spelling mistakes. And you
had to do them by hand, in a language
you didn’t understand. But once it’s
working, you can sit there and watch
the world go by. I still find that magical
about them. You don’t get that with
anything else. The life might be fake,
but it’s still the closest we’ve come to a
living artwork. I think that’s the core
appeal of them.
Remember the Neediest!

Lakers Fire Needing Offense, Knicks Still Can’t Lose

step of a philosophizing legend with an
awkward gait.
The Lakers fired Coach Mike Brown on
Friday after a 1-4 start to the season and be-
gan compiling a list of potential replace-
ments. The list is expected to include Mike
D’Antoni, Mike Dunleavy, Brian Shaw and
Nate McMillan, but no name holds more in-
trigue than that of Phil Jackson.
Jackson, who led the Lakers to five cham-
pionships between 2000 and 2010, left the
franchise last year, in part because of health
concerns and general fatigue. At the time,
he sent signals that he was probably done
for good.
But Jackson, who turned 67 in September,
has regained his strength and his energy af-
ter a year in retirement, and after opera-
tions to repair knee and hip problems, ac-
cording to friends. There is no certainty
that he would return, or that the Lakers will
ask, but the mere possibility had fans and
commentators buzzing Friday.
The fact that the Lakers’ front office
would not dismiss Jackson as a candidate
only fueled the speculation.
“When there’s a coach like Phil Jackson,
one of the all-time greats, and he’s not
coaching, I think we’d be negligent not to be
aware that he’s out there,” General Man-
ager Mitch Kupchak told reporters at an af-

Returning
From a Beating,
With Muscle
By TIM ROHAN
The room was quiet, his teammates
hanging on his every word, when Montee
Ball apologized for what he had not seen
coming. Someone had called his name, he
turned, saw a fist, then nothing. He awoke
in a hospital bed with a concussion and a
face swollen from five men kicking his
head.
Now, he assured his Wisconsin team-
mates he was fine. When he had returned
for his senior year, he imagined a third
straight Big Ten championship, a third
straight Rose Bowl trip and a chance at the
Heisman Trophy as the Badgers’ star run-
ning back.
Now he doubted that vision, and he apol-
ogized for causing a distraction.
The trouble had started at a Friday night
party off campus on July 27. Ball said he had
been there no more than 10 minutes when a
fight broke out in the kitchen. Through all
the commotion, he could barely see any-
thing from the living room, he said. Once
the fight ended, he left.
Wisconsin football players had been in-
volved, according to the Madison police.
But there was no evidence that Ball had
participated.
Four nights later, in the early hours of
Aug. 1, Ball was on University Avenue — a
well-lighted, popular area of Madison, Wis.
— with a handful of teammates, enjoying
their last week off before the start of fall
camp. Just a block from his apartment, Ball
separated from the group, with two female
friends walking in front of him. Someone
called his name.
Witnesses told the police what happened
next. Ball was knocked down; the five men
stomped on Ball’s chest and face; one of the
girls threw herself on top of Ball; and as the
men fled, one of them reportedly yelled, ELSA/GETTY IMAGES

Bears Are Scoring at Will, and That’s Just the Defense
By BEN STRAUSS
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — As the
Chicago Bears’ defense terror-
izes offenses around the N.F.L.,
piling up turnovers and scoring
touchdowns at a rate a modest of-
fense might find impressive, a
mantra has emerged at Halas
Hall, the team’s practice site.
When players and coaches were
asked this week who was respon-
sible for what has been a record-
setting season for the unit, the
answer was always the same:
“The star of our defense is the de-
fense.”
Coach Lovie Smith said, “You
know you have something special
Aging players bring
continuity to a
ferocious unit.
when guys aren’t really worried
about what they’re getting, but
when they’re excited about what
their teammate is doing.”
The walls in the lobby of Halas
Hall are lined with photographs
and plaques commemorating the
franchise’s storied tradition of
powerful defenses. In one pic-
ture, a young Dick Butkus wears
a scowl and a crew cut. Mike Sin-
gletary glares from his lineback-
er position in another. This year’s
unit has been every bit as fright-
ening, playing at a frenetic pace
and with a ferocity that befits the
great defenses that inspired the
nickname the Monsters of the
Midway.
The Bears (7-1) head into Sun-
day night’s matchup with the
Houston Texans with seven in-
terceptions returned for touch-
downs through eight games, the
most ever by an N.F.L. team at
this point in a season. They lead
the league with 28 turnovers
forced — 17 interceptions and 11
fumble recoveries — a staggering
rate of nearly one per quarter.
Just about everyone on the de-
fense, as the Bears are quick to
point out, has contributed. A
bruising line has helped account
for 25 sacks and freed lineback-
ers Brian Urlacher and Lance
Briggs to roam the middle of the
field. Cornerbacks Tim Jennings
and Charles Tillman have been
outstanding, each earning an
N.F.C. Defensive Player of the
Month award this season.
The first quarter of last week’s
51-20 win over the Tennessee Ti-
tans illustrates how offensive-
minded the defense is. The Bears
recovered two fumbles — both
forced by Tillman — and Urlach-
er returned an interception for a
touchdown. (Chicago also
blocked a punt and returned it for
a score.) Tillman forced four fum-
bles in the game, and Urlacher
had a forced fumble and recovery
to go along with the interception.
“You don’t see that often, if
ever,” quarterback Jay Cutler
said. “To see so many turnovers,
so many short fields, touchdowns
again. It’s remarkable.”
In training camp, the Bears’ of-
fense garnered most of the atten-
tion with the addition of wide re-
ceiver Brandon Marshall. Mean-
while, the defense returned a unit
of aging, albeit familiar players
with noteworthy track records.
But in a league built on adjust-
ments — between games, be-
tween plays and from season to
season — that continuity has
served Chicago well.
Urlacher, 34, has played all 13
of his seasons with the Bears.
Tillman and Briggs, both 31, were
taken in the second and third
rounds of the draft by the Bears
in 2003. Smith is in his ninth year,
among the longest-tenured head
coaches in the league.
“It doesn’t happen a lot, and to
be able to do it, I can’t tell you
how much it does mean for the
team,” Smith said, adding, “If the
headphones went out, all three of
them could call most of the
plays.”
Urlacher said of Briggs: “He’s
my best friend on the team.
We’ve been around each other
for a long time, and we know
what certain words mean to each

Brian Urlacher, above left, has played all 13 of his seasons in
Chicago. “If the headphones went out, all three of them could

other. They may not mean any-
thing to anyone else, but they
mean something to us. We trust
each other.”
Three years ago, the Bears

end Julius Peppers. Now 32, Pep-

the defense’s marquee players
prompted preseason questions.
Through eight weeks, the ques-
tions have been answered, re-
soundingly.
“You all are the ones calling us
old,” Tillman said to reporters
this week. “We don’t feel old.”
The Bears also continue to run
a relatively traditional defense,
the Cover 2. It is highlighted by
zone coverages and deep safeties
and predicated on allowing of-
fenses to complete short passes
and then attacking the receivers.
Both Smith and Rod Marinelli,
the defensive coordinator since
2010, are disciples of Tony Dungy,
who made the scheme famous in
Tampa Bay in the late 1990s.
The turnovers, Marinelli said,
are part and parcel of the Cover
2, as is the mind-set of collectiv-
ism.
“It comes from having a belief
in something,” he said. “We don’t
waver in the system or in the way
we play. We’re fast, and it allows
us to get a bunch of people to the
ball. The zones allow us to get
more speed to the ball and then
you have a chance to strip them.
It’s not mystical.”
The numbers, too, suggest a
product that is consistent, not
magical. Since Smith took over in
2004, the Bears lead the league in
take-aways with 294, 32 more
than the next closest team, the
New England Patriots. The dif-
ference this season is that the
turnovers are quickly turning
into points.
“At any given time, anyone on
this defense can score,” Urlacher
said. “We didn’t have that back in
the day.”
And it has drawn attention be-
yond the N.F.L. On Monday
night, on the eve of the election,
President Obama appeared on
ESPN’s “Monday Night Foot-
ball” broadcast and declared that
the Bears had the best defense in
the league.
“It’s a high compliment,”
Briggs said. “It doesn’t get any
higher.”
No Surprise:
3 Yankees
Turn Down
1-Year Offers
By JORGE ARANGURE Jr.
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — No-
body really wants to believe the
Yankees are aiming to become
fiscally responsible, relatively
speaking, but in making qualify-
ing offers this off-season to Ra-
fael Soriano, Nick Swisher and
Hiroki Kuroda, the team showed
a reluctance to make a long-term
commitment to any player at this
point. While they might not be
aiming to be as thrifty as the
Mets, the Yankees no longer
want a bloated budget.
So Friday’s news that all three
players had declined the team’s
qualifying offer was not consid-
ered a setback.
“I’m not surprised whatso-
ever,” Yankees General Manager
Brian Cashman said. “I expected
it.”
The Yankees would have been
content if any of the three players
accepted the one-year, $13.3 mil-
lion offer — a designation created
in last year’s collective bargain-
ing agreement for teams to be
compensated for losing free
agents. The figure is the average
salary of the top 125 players.
At worst, the Yankees will lose
all three players but gain draft
picks. At best, the Yankees would
have had three standout players
on one-year contracts, which
would have allowed them to slow-
ly get under the $189 million luxu-
ry-tax threshold in 2014. The Yan-
kees’ payroll is still expected to
be more than $200 million this
season.
With all three declining the
team’s offer, the Yankees will
now begin to determine which of
the three players, if any, will
come back. The most likely can-
didate is Kuroda, who has said he
is seeking only a one-year deal
but is probably looking for more
money than $13.3 million. Kuroda
is also having conversations with
the now free-spending Los Ange-
les Dodgers, who could offer
more than the Yankees might be
willing to pay.
Swisher and Soriano are look-
ing for multiyear deals, which
would seem to eliminate them

Returning From Beating, Back Adds Muscle for Wisconsin
From First Sports Page
men fled, one of them reportedly
yelled, “We got nine football play-
ers to go.”
Montee Ball Sr. said of his son:
“He is a perfect gentleman. You
can go back to elementary
school; Montee’s never been in a
fight in his life, never been in an
argument, never been in a scuf-
fle, never been in trouble, never
been in anything — ever. Not in
detention, nothing.”
When he was 8, Ball had made
a deal with his father: follow the
family rules — as in get good
grades and respect your elders —
and the family would do what-
ever it took to help him play pro-
fessional football.
Ball would never break curfew,
because if he did, his father said,
Overcoming a
personal setback and
team upheaval.
“you’re probably grounded for
the rest of your life.”
“There was no bending,” the
elder Ball said. “You just didn’t
break the rules.”
In his first year of playing, Ball
bowled over other 8-year-olds.
After practice, he ran and lifted
weights on his own in the base-
ment in Wentzville, Mo., 40 miles
west of St. Louis. When Ball
turned 11, the family hired a
strength trainer, a speed trainer
and a nutritionist.
Ball’s first year was so im-
pressive that his father, a graphic
designer, told his employer he
would be leaving his job in a dec-
ade to follow his son’s football ca-
reer.
When Ball committed to Wis-
consin, the family moved too.
Montee Ball Sr., 41, wanted his
son to feel safe and comfortable.
Every Sunday, they still have a
family dinner. Ball has his own
room in their house, where he
rested the day after he was beat-
en.
While there, Ball was angry.
The police eventually arrested
three students, one of whom had
been involved in the fight at the
house party. Ball said he had
been mistaken for someone else.
He did not recognize the mug
shots.
“He’s the kind of person: ‘I’ve
done nothing wrong to people, so
they should do nothing wrong to
me,’” Ball’s father said. “We’ve
been trying to explain to him, the
world’s not like that.”
The lesson was, “Be more con-
scious of what’s going on around
you.”
Ball was limited to noncontact
drills for the first week and a half
of fall camp. His balance and tim-
ing were not sharp when he re-
turned.
Focusing on One Last Saturday, Despite the Tug of Retirement
By MIKE TIERNEY
ATLANTA — On a gritty down-
town block, intense rain and the
specter of lightning shooed the
Georgia State football team off its
practice field Tuesday.
The team found shelter next
door in an empty warehouse,
where preparations resumed in
near darkness for the Panthers’
final game of the season — and
Bill Curry’s last in more than a
half-century of playing, coaching,
announcing and breathing foot-
ball.
With the expiration of a con-
tract he signed in 2008 to become
the head coach of this start-up
program, Curry, three weeks be-
yond his 70th birthday, can no
longer resist the tug of retire-
ment. Nor the tug of five grand-
children, ages 4 through 15, and a
soon-to-arrive sixth, all of whom
will get to spend more time with
the man called Bo.
But there is one more Saturday
inside a stadium — against
Maine — and Curry was not
about to allow inclement weather
to interfere with game-planning
that might rinse out the after-
taste of a bittersweet farewell
season.
Asked if the university had
mentioned the possibility of his
continuing, Curry said through a
crooked smile, “Have you looked
at our record?”
One win, nine losses.
There are no regrets, though,
about hiring Curry to carry the
team as it prepares to enter the
Football Bowl Subdivision next
season.
“What he brought was instant
credibility,” the university’s pres-
ident, Mark Becker, said. “Bill
Curry was the right guy to help
start this.”
Curry’s appeal was based less
on career win percentage — now
.420 through nearly 20 seasons,
including stints at Georgia Tech,
Alabama and Kentucky — than a
quiet charisma, a reputation for
Wisconsin’s Montee Ball (28) after scoring in the Badgers’ 38-13 home victory over Minnesota last month. Wisconsin is 6-3.
His dream of a final season
turned nightmarish. Russell Wil-
son, last season’s all-conference
quarterback, had graduated and
become the Seattle Seahawks’
starter. Paul Chryst, the offensive
coordinator and architect of
Ball’s junior season — 2,229
yards rushing, 39 touchdowns, a
finalist for the Heisman — had
left to coach Pittsburgh. And
Chryst had taken the offensive
line coach, Bob Bostad, with him.
The new offensive line coach,
Mike Markuson, put in a new
blocking scheme, asking linemen
to plug holes, as though they
were stopping a leak. Previously,
they had been the aggressors, fo-
cusing on double teams, finishing
blocks and attacking linebackers
downfield.
And that offensive line also fea-
tured three new starters, with
guard Kevin Zeitler and center
Peter Konz selected in the first
two rounds of the N.F.L. draft.
Ball wondered what would
have happened if he had left for
the N.F.L. after his junior season.
The N.F.L. draft advisory board
had pegged him as a third-round
pick. He had scoffed at the as-
sessment and had asked himself,
“What more do I have to do?”
But with Wilson gone, defenses
crowded the line of scrimmage.
Where Ball ran untouched last
season, defenders now met him
in the backfield. After his first

integrity and a professorial de-
meanor. He also brought a pedi-
gree, having played in three of
the first five Super Bowls as an
offensive lineman for the Green
Bay Packers and then the Balti-
more Colts.
His Packers coach, Vince Lom-
bardi, preached faith and family
as priorities over sports.
Curry borrowed the mantra
and tailored it to his young play-
ers, thus endearing himself to
their parents. One of them re-
cently sat in his compact and
spartan office and said: “You’ve
been good for my son. You cannot
retire.”
To those who know Curry well,
that kind of response was not a
surprise.
“That program is on a solid
foundation because it has the
base for doing things the right
way,” said Vince Dooley, the re-

two games — a close win over
Northern Iowa, and a loss to Ore-
gon State, now ranked 13th —
Ball had only one touchdown.
Coach Bret Bielema fired Marku-
son and reinstated the old block-
ing scheme.
Still, Ball overcompensated
and distrusted his vision. He ran
impatiently, before any hole
could open, and blamed himself
for the offense’s malaise.
After a half-century
in the game, Bill

ways been one that said and did
the right things. I’d put him up

Curry will miss the coach-as-

trips before road games to histor-
ic sites like Colonial Williams-
burg or parlaying the presiden-
tial election into a team lesson on
how voting is a fundamental ex-
pression of freedom.

MICHAEL CONROY/ ASSOCIATED PRESS
On the sideline during games,
Ron Dayne — a former Wiscon-
sin back and the 1999 Heisman
winner — encouraged and teased
Ball. “I never got caught on those
long runs,” he told him.
It took six games for Ball to
feel like himself again.
Twice a week, he started lifting
at 6 a.m. with the developmental
group, consisting of third- and
fourth-stringers, for more rigor-

for players of varied ethnic and
socioeconomic backgrounds to
compete on the same terms.
He will even miss sobbing with
a player who dealt with the phys-
ical and mental anguish of having
his season ended by broken leg.
As for the sport’s embrace of
the bigger-is-better business
model, Curry is eager to jump off
that train before, he believes, it
inevitably derails.
“Money, money, money,” he
said, head shaking. “I understand
we are in America, the land of
capitalism. But we’re going to
milk it until we destroy it.
“Five million a year for coach-
ing salaries? As my wife says:
‘That’s insane. Why do they do
that?’”

ment, he went on, does not in-

ous workouts. Weighing 11 more
pounds than he did last season,
he started breaking more tackles.
He started making his own holes.
It flooded back, the patience,
the balance, the timing. In a
three-game stretch, Ball ran for
529 yards and 7 touchdowns. On
one play, Bielema recalled, Ball
hit a hole only he could hit, shook
a safety only he could shake and
took off. The play was prophetic,
foreshadowing how the new,
dogged Ball could run, and remi-
niscent, recalling how only he
could excite this team.
All was not lost, Ball realized.
The Badgers are 6-3, and with a
win over Indiana on Saturday
they will probably play for the
Big Ten championship, because
Ohio State and Penn State are in-
eligible. Ball can still go to the
Rose Bowl. The Heisman Trophy
may be out of reach, but Ball
needs just five more touchdowns
to break the Football Bowl Subdi-
vision career record. And N.F.L.
scouts will note that more than
half of his yards have come after
contact.
Last January after the Badg-
ers’ Rose Bowl loss to Oregon,
the locker room had been quiet.
Players said goodbye to Wilson
and Chryst, facing an uncertain
future. Then Ball stood up, and
the room hung on his every word.
He said he would return for his
senior year.
entertainment dollars, or amass-
ing debt with football stadium
face-lifts.
Curry is sympathetic to play-
ers who reap no financial re-
wards from the use of their
names and images, and he ques-
tions the N.C.A.A. assertion that
the value of a scholarship should
be sufficient. He would cap a
team’s schedule at 10 games,
which reveals his stance on a
playoff.
“I am old school,” he said.
None of those factors is usher-
ing him toward retirement as
much as the call of family is. Cur-
ry acknowledges feelings of guilt
and regret for what he said was
an inability to balance his work
and home lives.
Last year, his son, Bill Jr., said
to him: “You missed my child-
hood. Are you going to do the
same with my children?”
Curry’s mind was already
made up. The long hours that he
has logged at four head coaching
stops and multiple assistant jobs
have added up. So have the near-
ly three dozen moves his family
has endured.
“I’m ashamed of that,” he said
of devoting too little attention to
his two children. “I was too busy
trying to become coach of the
year.”
His future is a virtual blank
slate, unlikely to fill up as much.
Maybe he will do some game
analysis, since he had more than
a decade of experience with
ESPN before returning to coach.
But nothing as consuming as be-
coming the athletic director at
Georgia Tech, his alma mater,
where the position is vacant.
Instead he has a month to
game plan for a significant en-
gagement. On Dec. 15, Curry and
his wife, Carolyn, who began dat-
ing when he was a player and she
a cheerleader at a high school
just miles from his current office,
will celebrate their 50th anniver-
sary, their union outlasting even
football’s hold on him.

L.S.U. and Florida held Manziel
to an average of 43.5 yards rush-
ing and 5.22 yards per pass at-

vulnerability in Baton Rouge to a

gies may be better served to
pound away with running backs
Ben Malena and Christine Mi-
chael. A bigger problem will be

bo of Eddie Lacy and T. J. Yeldon,

Horseman Builds Career on His Terms
By VICTOR J. BLUE
My grandfather Richard Taylor has bred, trained
and raced harness horses for more than 65 years. He is
among the last of a vanishing breed of horsemen. He
lived through the Depression, served in World War II
and went home to start a small farm in central Indiana.
From there, my mother’s father built a
career as a small-time breeder and
trainer, racing his own horses, living life
on his own terms.
In those days, it was mostly county
fair racing for Indiana-bred horses and
their trainers, before the parimutuel
tracks were built and the casino money
swelled the sport. He found moderate
success in nearby states, raising cham-
pion horses that made their mark in
Chicago and Lexington, Ky. Some years
he trained for other owners, at other op-
erations. His patience with his fillies
and his careful training and attention to
maternal bloodlines brought him a level
of success greater than the size of his
small operation.
He still rises early each morning,
hitches his filly, and jogs her around the
dusty track once surrounded by fields. Now stately sub-
urban homes and their manicured lawns run up to the
fence posts. Clutching his stopwatch and holding the
lines tight with one leg hanging down from the training
cart, he feels, he counts and he listens. He works slowly,
building up her speed, hoping it will peak on race day
and put her in the money. He tells me: “There’s some-
thing about a horse. I don’t know who said it, but ‘The
outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man.’”
He is a character. Tough as nails. Polite, but with a
quick temper that does not put up with foolishness. Gen-
uinely warm and interested in others, he can also be cir-
cumspect in his dealings with them. His Depression-era
cast of mind keeps him from spending money on much
of anything, and on his farm there is not a broken har-
ness, a frayed halter or a punctured inner tube that can-
not be fixed or saved for a rainy day.

Richard Taylor is
a small-time horse
breeder and train-
er in central Indi-
ana. Each day,
Taylor rises early,
hitches his filly
and jogs her
around the track,
while counting
and listening.
Liberal in his politics, he reads widely and pores
over The New Yorker week to week. He keeps a diary,
short entries that repeat in a kind of rhythm: the filly’s
fastest mile for the day, the bills that got paid, the rela-
tives that called.
When I was a child growing up with my mother and
brother at a distance from him and the farm, the horses,
the races and the tall, quiet man intimi-
dated me. When I grew up, I was fasci-
nated by him, by the template of a fu-
ture self I imagined.
When I was 25, I moved to the farm
thinking I would learn to groom horses
and maybe get into training. We were
two stubborn bachelors, one young, one
old. I started photographing him then,
but after a few cold months I moved on.
Eventually I became a documentary
photographer and worked around the
country and around the world.
Two and a half years ago, I went
back and began this project because I
wanted to tell the story of his passion
for horses. I wanted to create a record
of the man at this stage in his life. Pho-
tography is about time, and I wanted to
hold on to some of it with him.
As he has aged, there have been fewer successful
training seasons, but he keeps going, quietly frustrated
by the physical limitations of his 84 years. He does not
talk much of the future, or how many seasons he might
have left. He starts every spring like he did this year,
with the promise of speed and soundness. His strategy
to win races is not different from his strategy for living
life. Quiet and calm, he likes to be fast out of the gate, sit
back in the second spot, then get out clean at the top of
the stretch and blow by at the finish. After all these
years and so many horses, his approach has not
changed. “I want to know more about a horse tomorrow
than I do today.”
This story is my exploration of my grandfather, of
his passion for horses, and of what it means to be driven
by the obsessions that keep us alive.
Taylor’s success
can be attributed
to his attention to
racehorse geneal-
ogies and his pas-
sion for horses,
like his 3-year-old
filly named CC
Heartistry, left.
He reads a regis-
try of harness

eages.

Pitino and Son Are on Same Path and Same Page
By WALTER VILLA
MIAMI — A decade ago, Rick
Pitino tried to dissuade his son
Richard from following him into the
coaching profession.
That didn’t work.
Pitino, who has led six teams to
the Final Four, including last season
at Louisville, said he had reserva-
tions last spring about Richard tak-
ing the head coaching job at Florida
International University, which had
fired Isiah Thomas.
That advice went unheeded as
well.
On Sunday, Richard Pitino, 30,
will travel to his native city to make
his head coaching debut at Boston
College.
“You try to make it about your
team and not yourself,” he said.
“But it does feel different running a
team for the first time, even in prac-
tice. This is something special for
me.”
Among active head coaches, he is
the third youngest in Division I, and
takes over a program that has had
12 straight losing seasons. Thomas,
the former Knicks coach and execu-
tive, was dismissed with two years
left on his contract and a 26-65
record.
F.I.U. went 8-21 last season — 2-9
at home — and its five starters are
gone. The leading returning scorer
averaged 4 points.
Some wonder whether Richard
Pitino would have received this op-
portunity this quickly had it not
been for his father, but Jay Bilas, for

“We are too fast; we are a transi-

no one can keep up with us,” said
Napier, who had a game-high 25
points.
Kevin Ollie’s first game and win
as the Huskies’ coach was watched
by the former coach Jim Calhoun,
who worked as play-by-play radio
commentator. Calhoun retired in
September.
The Spartans hit just one of their
first eight shots, while Connecticut
made nine of its first 10 and raced
out to a 20-6 lead. The Spartans
were better in the second half, pull-
ing to 62-60, but missed two shots in
the last minute.

A Leaked Memo Could Complicate the N.H.L. Labor Talks
By JEFF Z. KLEIN
A leaked internal memorandum
from the players union may have
caused some damage to the labor
negotiations between the N.H.L.
and the union Friday.
Little progress was made in the
talks, which were conducted for the
fourth straight day, but both sides
agreed to meet again Saturday. The
day’s most notable development
came when Donald Fehr, the un-
ion’s executive director, issued a
sharp response to a report that the
league was concerned about some
of the items in the memorandum.
On Thursday night, a memo was
sent to the union’s 725 members in
which Fehr said there was a “signif-
icant gap” between the N.H.L. and
the union on several important is-
sues.
On Friday night, Fehr addressed

one, believes F.I.U. made the right
move.
“His knowledge of the game is
considerable — you can’t ignore
that,” Bilas, an ESPN analyst, said.
“It’s on a higher plane than al-
most anyone I’ve known at his age.”
Rick Pitino said he tried to keep
all five of his children from going
into coaching because of the long
hours and the toll life on the road
can take on a family.
“All of them wanted to go into
coaching at one point, and I was
able to talk them out of it, except for
Richard,” Rick Pitino said. “I told
Richard to go into Wall Street, but
he was the only one who was very
quiet and didn’t say anything.”
When Rick Pitino saw the passion
his son had for coaching, he knew it
was the right profession for him.
In 2005, Richard Pitino was hired
as an assistant coach at Northeast-
ern and followed that with similar
positions at Duquesne, Florida and
two stints at Louisville, including
one last season.
“He wasn’t going to tell me to
take it or not to take it,” Richard
Pitino said. “I told him what I liked
about it, what I didn’t like about it.
But in the end, it was me and my
wife’s decision.
“My only concern was: ‘Why ha-
ven’t they won in so many years?’”
Rick Pitino, who owns a home in
Miami, had the same question. After
his son was hired, Pitino visited
F.I.U. for the first time and became
convinced that his son had made the

Syracuse Sex Abuse Case Is Dropped
SYRACUSE (AP) — Federal
authorities have dropped their
investigation into one of the sex-
ual abuse claims that cost a Syra-
cuse University assistant basket-
ball coach his job, threw a top-
ranked team into turmoil and
threatened the career of the Hall
of Fame coach Jim Boeheim.
After a probe spanning nearly
a year, Richard S. Hartunian, the
United States attorney for the
Northern District of New York,
said Friday there was not
enough evidence to support a
claim that the coach, Bernie
Fine, had molested a boy in a
Pittsburgh hotel room in 2002.
“The nature and seriousness
of these allegations, which in-
volved conduct typically commit-
ted in private with individuals
who are reluctant to come for-
ward, warranted a thorough fed-

concerns that the league seemed to
be raising about some of the lan-
guage in the memo. Citing league
sources, The Minneapolis Star Trib-
une said the N.H.L. believed that
Fehr had misled players by inaccu-
rately summarizing the league’s po-
sitions.
“First of all, understand that their
proposal is made in front of players
in the room who hear it, in front of
staff who hear it, in front of former
players who hear it,” Fehr said Fri-
day, almost three hours after the
bargaining session at the offices of
the law firm Proskauer Rose on
Eighth Avenue had ended.
Fehr said those players and union
officials called members of the rank
and file to inform them about the ne-
gotiations. Noting that “if you write
a memo, and it’s a quick one, you
necessarily have to summarize,” he
added “that doesn’t have anything

ternoon news conference. “We’re
putting together a list and an at-
tack plan.”
Expectations are always high
in Los Angeles, but they skyrock-
eted this summer after Kupchak
acquired Dwight Howard and
Steve Nash, pairing them with
Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol to
form one of the most talented
lineups in N.B.A. history. There
was talk of a 70-win season and,
of course, a 17th championship
banner.
But the Lakers stumbled
through the first two weeks of the
season and have struggled to
adapt to the Princeton offense,
installed by Brown’s top assist-
ant, Eddie Jordan. Injuries have
also slowed their development.
Nash played just a game and a
half before sustaining a leg inju-
ry, and he will be out for a few
more weeks. Bryant is playing
through a foot injury and has
been unable to practice. And
Howard, though he is averaging
22.4 points and 9.6 rebounds, is
still regaining his stamina after
having back surgery in April.
As of Friday morning, the Lak-
ers had the worst record in the

Brown lasted just 71 games, in-
connections to the Lakers remain
strong. He still lives in Playa del
Rey, a short drive from the Lak-
ers’ headquarters in El Segundo,
and he is in a long-term rela-
tionship with Jeanie Buss, the
team’s executive vice president
of business operations and
daughter of Jerry Buss, the Lak-
ers’ owner. Jackson still follows
the N.B.A. closely and seems ea-
ger to return to the game in some
capacity, according to friends.
Jackson spoke with a handful
of teams this past summer, but he
has been seeking an executive
role, to avoid the rigors of travel
and an 82-game schedule. If he
does return, it is conceivable that
Jackson would seek a short-term
arrangement in which he would
groom a successor — possibly
Shaw or Kurt Rambis — and then
move into an advisory capacity.
In that respect, Jackson would
serve as an ongoing mentor fig-
ure, the same way that Tex Win-
ter did for him.
Shaw would be a natural
choice, having both played for
Jackson and worked on his staff.

Jim Buss, the Lakers’ execu-

his handpicked choice in 2011, a
vote of confidence in a Thursday
interview with ESPN-Los Ange-

with Mike Brown at all,” and con-
cluding, “I just have to be pa-

Jackson has rescued the Lak-

hired in 1999 after Bryant and
Shaquille O’Neal were swept out
of the playoffs and promptly
guided the team to three straight

had two years and $9 million left
on his contract.
The urgency for the Lakers to
win now has never been greater,
with Bryant, Nash and Gasol in
their 30s and Howard heading for
free agency next summer.
Although it is unusual to fire a
coach after just five games, Kup-
chak said, “With this team, we
