In Brief
Nuclear Talks
Stirring Tensions
TEHRAN — The chants of
“Death to America” and the
burning of American flags in the
streets are as familiar a part of life
here as air pollution and traffic
jams. With the United States and
Iran on the verge of a potentially
historic nuclear accord, however,
there has been a distinct change
in tone: the anti-Americanism is
gettingeven more strident.
The rising levels of vitriol have
been on display this week in the
buildup to the annual anti-Israel
extravaganzacoming thisFriday.
“We march not only against
Israel,” the Ayatollah Ali Jannati
told the Fars news agency of the
annual rally on the last Friday of
Ramadan in Iran and other Mus-
lim countries.“It goes far beyond
that. We also march against the
arrogant powers,” Europe and,
particularly,the UnitedStates.
The underlying cause for the
heightened display of anti-Amer-
icanism, analysts say, is the grow-
ing likelihood that Iran and its
Western negotiating partners will
sign a nuclear accord, opening the
possibility of improving relations
with the Great Satan, the United
States.
“Anti-Americanism is a pillar of
our system,” said Nader Karimi
Joni, a reformist journalist. “Now
that we are in direct talks with
the United States, the reaction is
to oversell anti-Americanism, to
emphasize that they continue to
be the enemy.”
Negotiators continued their
work in Vienna on Wednesday,
trying to work through last-min-
ute wrangles over a weapons
embargo, missile sanctions, in-
spections and the pace of relief
from economic sanctions. If a deal
is completed, the existing ten-
sions between Iran’s two political
factions are bound to increase,
analysts say. “We can expect a
lot of anger, the government will
be accused of treason, betrayal
of Islam, caving in to American
pressure and so on,” said Farshad
Ghorbanpour, a political analyst
close tothe government.
Saeed Laylaz, an economist
close to the government and a
supporter of better relations with
the United States, said, “Hard-lin-
ers are very skilled in manipulat-
ing anti-American sentiments.
Right now they are preparing the
grounds for their future offen-
MAROUSI, Greece — Busi-
ness has been so brisk in the giant
Kotsovolos appliance and elec-
tronics store in this upper-mid-
dle-class suburb of Athens that
youmight thinka sale was on.
But, no. It is panic buying, those
who work here say. Increasingly
concerned that greater econom-
ic trouble lies ahead of them, and
limited in how much cash they can
take out of banks, Greeks have
been using their debit cards to buy
ovens, refrigerators,dishwashers
— anythingtangible thatcan hold
itsvalue introubledtimes.
“We have sold so much,” said
Despina Drisi, who has worked
in the store for 12 years. “We even
sold display models.”
The bustle of everyday life looks
unchanged here. Greeks, many
of whom long ago traded in their
cars for cheaper motor scooters,
clog the streets at rush hour. Tour-
ists pack the Acropolis. Friends
meet,greet and sitincafes.
But beneath the surface, Greeks
are struggling with growing fear,
the strange ramifications of
closed banks and the mounting
potential for much worse. They
could face the unknown conse-
quences of being pushed out of the
eurozone within the next week if
Greece and its creditors cannot
to have the tax calculated and
paid instantly before a possible
haircut. Even if the tax is 40 to 50
thousand euros, they pay it off in
one go.”
A jeweler, George Papalexis,
said a customer had approached
him on Wednesday wanting to buy
a million euros — about $1.1 mil-
lion — worth of merchandise. But
Papalexis, the chief operating offi-
cer of Zolotas, said he had refused
because he was more comfortable
holding on to the jewels than hav-
ing moneyinGreek banks.
“I can’t believe that there I was,
turning away a million-dollar
offer,” he said. “But I had to turn
down the deal. It’s a measure of
the riskwe face.”

3. WASHINGTON — The Balti-
more police commissioner, An-
thony W. Batts, who arrived in
that city three years ago pledging
change but lost the confidence of
many in his rank-and-file in the
wake of riots in April, was ousted
Wednesday by Mayor Stepha-
nie Rawlings-Blake, who said he
had become “a distraction” that
hindered efforts to fight a recent
spike inviolentcrime.
The mayor acted just hours
after the police union issued a re-
port critical of the department’s
response to the unrest set off by
the death of Freddie Gray, an un-
armed black man who suffered a
fatalspinalcordinjurywhileinpo-
lice custody. But Rawlings-Blake
insisted she was responding to a
“crime surge,” and not acting to
placate the union, whose report
saidthe riotswere preventable.
“Recent events have placed an
intense focus on our police leader-
ship, distracting many from what
needs to be our main focus: the
fight against crime. So we need a
change,” the mayorsaid.
Batts’s firing comes amid a
sharp rise in crime. In the weeks
since May 1, when six officers
were charged in Gray’s death,
murders have risen to a level not
seen in four decades. There have
been 155 homicides this year, 50
more than in the same period last
year, and nonfatal shootings have
nearly doubled, the police said.
Almost half of those killings oc-
curredafterMay 1.
In a review of the response to
the riots released Wednesday, the
city’s police union said its mem-
bers reported that they “lacked
basic riot equipment, training
and, as events unfolded, direction
fromleadership.”
Rawlings-Blake strongly dis-
puted the report; in a statement
she called it “baseless and false
information.” She added, “This is
not a time for finger-pointing and
politics.”

WASHINGTON — Congress
on Wednesday moved to sub-
stantially scale back the federal
government’s role in education,
particularly the use of high-stakes
standardized testing to punish
schools, in the first significant
proposed revisions since the No
Child Left Behind law was passed
14years ago.
While there is near-universal
agreement that the law should be
starklydifferent.
The House on Wednesday
passed its version, a measure
laden with conservative prescrip-
tions that congressional Demo-
crats and President Obama op-
posed. The Senate began debate
on its alternative, a bill with some
bipartisan support, but one the
White House stillfindswanting.
No Child Left Behind had been
considered one of the signature
ident George W. Bush. But its
provisions for using standard-
ized tests has ignited debate ever
since.
The House version of a revised
education bill includes a provision
that would permit low-income stu-
dents to transfer federal dollars
between school districts, some-
thing the Obama administration
has vowed to veto. The bill, which
passed, 218 to 213 had almost no
Medicare, the federal program
that insures 55 million older and
disabled Americans, announced
plans on Wednesday to reimburse
doctors for conversations with
patients about whether and how
they would want to be kept alive if
they became too sick to speak for
themselves.
The proposal would settle a de-
bate that raged before the passage
of the Affordable Care Act, when
Sarah Palin labeled a similar plan
as tantamount to setting up “death
panels” that could cut off care for
the sick. The new plan is expected
to be approved and to take effect in
January,although it will be open to
publiccomment for60days.
Medicare’s plan comes as many
patients, families and health pro-
viders are pushing to give people
greater say about how they die —
whether that means trying every
possible option to stay alive or dis-
continuing life support for those
who do not want to be sustained
by ventilatorsand feeding tubes.
“We thinkthattoday’sproposal
supports individuals and families
who wish to have the opportunity
to discuss advance care planning
with their physician and care
team,” said Dr. Patrick Conway,
the chief medical officer for the
Centers for Medicare and Medic-
aid, which administers Medicare.
“We think those discussions are
an important part of patient- and
family-centeredcare.”
Conway said a final decision
on the proposal would be made
by Nov. 1. The plan would allow
qualified professionals like nurse
practitioners and physician as-
sistants, as well as doctors, to
be reimbursed for face-to-face
meetings with a patient and any
relatives or caregivers the patient
wants to include. Conway said the
proposal did not limit the number
ofconversations reimbursed.
“The reality is these conver-
sations, their length can vary
based on patients’ needs,” he
said. “Sometimes, they’re short
conversations — the person has
thought about it. Sometimes,
they’re a much longer conversa-
tion. Sometimes, they’re a series
ofconversations.”
Major medical organizations
endorsed Medicare’s proposal.
The National Right to Life Com-
mittee opposed it on grounds that
it could lead to patients’ being
pressuredtoforgo treatment.
The reimbursement rate paid
under the proposal and other
details will be determined after
public comments are received,
Conway said. People covered by
Medicare account for about 80
percent ofdeaths each year.
Because Medicare often sets
the standard for private insur-
ers as well, the new policy would
prompt many more doctors to en-
gage patients in such discussions
about their preferences. Some pri-
vate health insurance companies
have recently begun covering
such advance care planning con-
versations, and more are likely
to do so once Medicare formally
adoptsitsnew rules.

LONDON — A retail banker
by trade, Antony Jenkins was el-
evated to the top job at Barclays
three years ago to radically re-
banking culture at the British
lender that politicians and some
investors saw as out ofcontrol.
While he was praised for his
efforts to change the company’s
cultural identity, Jenkins was
ousted on Wednesday as chief
executive after directors lost con-
fidence in his ability to improve
returns toshareholders.
cy here,” John McFarlane, the
Barclays chairman, told report-
ers on Wednesday. “It needs to be
much more clear on what we’re
with much more pace — so that
we are leaner and more agile and
more energetic.”
McFarlane, who replaced Da-
vid Walker as the Barclays chair-
man this year, will serve as exec-
utive chairman beginning on July
17untila replacement is found.
The move comes as several
European banking rivals have
this year, as they look to adjust to
tighter regulatory scrutiny and
try to move beyond a series of
legacy issues and investigations
When Jenkins took the helm of
the bank in 2012, the lender was
reeling from its admission that
traders had conspired to manipu-
late a global benchmark interest
rate known as the London inter-
bankoffered rate,or Libor.
For now, Barclays will take its
time in finding a successor for
Jenkins, McFarlane said.
SEATTLE — When Microsoft
announced its deal to acquire
Nokia’s mobile phone business,
Steven A. Ballmer, Microsoft’s
chief executive at the time, boast-
ed that the deal was a “bold step
intothe future.”
But on Wednesday, Microsoft’s
current chief executive, Satya
Nadella, sought to leave that
deal in the past. He announced
a broad rethinking of the com-
that includes cutting up to 7,800
jobs,mostlyfrom the phone busi-
ness, and writing off nearly allof
the value ofitsNokia acquisition.
The move is a clear acknowl-
edgment thatthe deal was a mul-
tibillion-dollar strategic blunder
by Ballmer,who hadenvisionedit
as a way to make Microsoft more
competitive in the mobile market
dominated by Apple, Google and
Samsung. Nadella is said to have
disliked the acquisition original-
ly, though he publicly endorsed it
afterbecomingchief executive.
“It’s a headache that Nadella
inherited,” said Daniel Ives, an
analystatFBR CapitalMarkets.
The job cuts amount to more
than 6 percent of Microsoft’s
18,000 job cuts last year, most of
them also related to the Nokia
acquisition, Microsoft will end up
letting go a majority of workers
who joined the company as a re-
sultofthe deal.
Microsoft said it would take a
$7.6billion accounting charge re-
lated to its acquisition of Nokia’s
handset operations. It completed
its acquisition of Nokia last year
for $9.5 billion, though Nokia
came with about $1.5 billion of
cash as part ofthe deal.
While Microsoft will not stop
making smartphones, Nadella
said on Wednesday that it would
no longer focus on the growth of
that business, instead emphasiz-
ing the expansion of the broad
cluding mobile phones, that run
its Windows software. Since he
took over, Nadella has increased
the development of apps and
services for Google’s Android
and Apple’s iOS devices, many of
which have been popular with the
public. NICK WINGFIELD
SAN FRANCISCO — Even as
legalized gambling has spread
nationwide to include lotteries,
casinos and just about every
imaginable type of slot machine,
the notion of betting on sports has
remained, outside of Las Vegas,
largelyinthe shadows.
But on Wednesday, Yahoo took
the boldest step yet to bring what
amounts to legalized betting on
sports to the mainstream. The
Silicon Valley company, which
has been broadening its range of
sports content, said it would host
daily and one-week fantasy sports
games played for money, starting
with Major League Baseball and
expanding to other professional
sportsas theirseasonsbegin.
As any viewer of ESPN would
know, the fantasy sports industry
has been growing rapidly, with
ubiquitous ads proclaiming that
hundreds of thousands of dollars
can be won on sites like Draft-
Kings and FanDuel. But none of
those companies have the reach
of Yahoo and the ability to entice
tens of millions of young men to
bet on the performance of their
favoriteplayers.
Yahoo’s move further legitimiz-
es a pastime that resembles gam-
bling, particularly with the daily
fantasy games. Players can bet
against a single opponent or with-
in a small group, and the quick
results can simulate the financial
stakesoftraditionalbetting.
Fantasy sports operate under
an exemption to the Unlawful
Internet Gambling Enforcement
Act of 2006, which outlawed on-
line poker and sports betting.
Lobbyists from the National
Football League, as well as other
professional leagues, successful-
ly pushed to have fantasy sports
deemed a “game of skill.” Most
states permit the games, but the
betting is illegal in five: Arizona,
Montana, Louisiana, Iowa and
Washington.
Ken Fuchs, Yahoo’s vice presi-
dent for publisher products, said
that fantasy sports were different
from gambling because they re-
lied on the player’s skills. Yahoo
runs cash leagues for fantasy
sports that last the length of a sea-
son.
Playing fantasy sports is one
of the most popular pastimes for
Internet users, with an estimated
57 million people in the United
States and Canada participating
this year, according to research
conducted by Ipsos for the Fanta-
sy Sports Trade Association.

Problems with technology
have at times roiled global finan-
cial markets, but the 223-year-old
New York Stock Exchange has
held itself up as an oasis of hu-
mans ready to step in when the
computersgo haywire.
On Wednesday, however, those
working on the trading floor were
left helpless when the computer
systems at the exchange went
down for nearly four hours in the
middleofthe day.
The exchange ultimately re-
turned to action shortly before
the closing bell, and stocks contin-
ued trading throughout the day on
other exchanges, like the Nasdaq
andBATSGlobalMarkets.
The disruption nonetheless rat-
tled investors, who already had
reason to be on edge, considering
the Greek debt crisis and an over-
night market rout in China. The
benchmark Standard & Poor’s
down 1.7percent
Wednesday provided other
reminders of the fragility of au-
tomated systems that are doing
jobs that people once handled.
An apparently unrelated tech-
nical problem grounded United
Airlines flights for nearly two
hours on Wednesday morning.
The homepage of The Wall Street
Journal was also down for part of
Wednesday.
“When we traded physically we
didn’t have these problems, but
this is the world that we live in,”
said Ted Weisberg, a trader with
Seaport Securities who has been
on the floor of the New York Stock
Exchange for nearly50years.
Computer technology has revo-
lutionized the trading of stocks in
recent decades, making it faster
andmore efficient.
New powers have emerged,
including the Intercontinental
and derivatives trading platform
based in Atlanta that acquired
the New YorkStockExchange for
$8.2billionin2013.
But there have been hiccups
along the way. The Nasdaq stock
market went down for three
hours in 2013 because of a soft-
ware bug. The year before, soft-
ware at Knight Capital Group
went awry, leading to errant
trades that resulted in losses of
$440million.
The problem Wednesday at the
New York Stock Exchange is like-
ly to revive a debate about how
regulators can make the markets
more resistant to computer fail-
ings.
Federal regulators and law en-
forcement agencies monitored
the situation for any sign of an

Trans-Pacific Partnership trade
agreement thissummer.
He says he will catch a flight
to Vietnam to look at possible lo-
cations for a new factory. Fung’s
company, Top Form, has built fac-
tories in China, Thailand, Cam-
bodia and Myanmar, countries
that are not part of the planned
trade deal. That makes him worry
that they may become less com-
petitive if Vietnam qualifies for
extra-low tariffs and the United
States eases access in other ways
toitsvastmarket.
As the trade talks move toward
conclusion, Fung said, garment
industry tycoons here in Hong
Kong “ask ourselves the ques-
tion,‘Whatdoes itmean tous?’”
The House and Senate ap-
proved legislation last month to
allow President Obama and his
successor to submit the Pacific
pact and a potential agreement
with Europe to Congress for an
up-or-down vote with no filibus-
ters or amendmentspermitted.
The draft text of the agreement
has not been released, but details
suggest that it could have an ef-
fect ona variety ofindustries.
Banks from rich countries
like the United States and Ja-
pan would have the right to be
treated more like local banks in
less affluent countries. Japan
would be required to let in more
American farm goods. Makers of
pharmaceuticals would have an
extra tool to protect their patents
abroad, limiting competition from
generic drugs. Auto parts would
move more smoothly around the
Pacific,with fewer taxes.
The Obama administration has
been pushing the trade pact as a
way to write new rules not just for
the 12 nations involved but also
as an umbrella to someday cover
many other countries — above
all,China.
Some Asian economists, par-
ticularly those from China, are
skeptical that the Trans-Pacif-
ic Partnership will have a pro-
found effect on commerce in the
region. He Weiwen, a former
Chinese Commerce Ministry of-
ficial who is now a director of the
KHAM/REUTERS
China-United States-European
Union Study Center at the Chi-
na Association of International
Trade in Beijing, said the poten-
tial expansion of trade from a pos-
sible China-led pact covering all
of East Asia could be up to three
times greater.
One shortcoming of the
Trans-Pacific Partnership is that
it has only one major consumer
market, the United States, while
the rest of the trading partners
are essentially producers with
limited demand for imported
goods, said Terence Chong, who
is the executive director of the
Institute of Global Economics
and Finance at the Chinese Uni-
versity of Hong Kong and is also a
senior economist at Nanjing Uni-
versity ineast-centralChina.
“There are not enough markets
for the whole thing to develop —
youneed China,” he said.

6. Celebrating
Valli and MAC
Cosmetics
PARIS — About a decade ago,
when John Demsey, the group
president of Estée Lauder, first
met Giambattista Valli, then a
young assistant to the designer
Emanuel Ungaro, he knew the two
shouldwork together.
This week, a 10-year collabora-
tion between the Italian design-
er — now with his own ready-
to-wear and couture lines, both
red carpet favorites — and MAC
Cosmetics, a subsidiary of Estée
Lauder, was celebrated here with
a celebrity-studded party at the
Palais Garnier opera house and
the introduction of a new lipstick
line. All of it, it seems, proving
Demsey somewhat prescient.
“We instantly fell in love with
him,” Demsey said.
The newest collaboration fea-
tures lipsticks and lip glosses in
dramatic hues found on a Valli
runway: hot pink, yellow peach,
darkcherry.
While praising Valli’s creative
skills, Demsey cited one other fac-
tor that has contributed to a fruit-
ful partnership. “He really loves
makeup,” Demsey said, laughing.
“And not everyone loves make-
up.” STUART EMMRICH
Levi’s Revamps Its Women’s Jeans
The denim wars are heating up
again. This week, Levi’s, the old-
est jeans company in the world, is
setting in motion its biggest salvo
yet, fighting back against market
incursions from not only other
high-fashion jeans brands but al-
so, perhaps more meaningfully,
the upstart “athleisure” move-
ment.
Mark Parker, the chief exec-
utive of Nike, contends that leg-
gings are “the new denim” for
women. Not if Karyn Hillman,
the chief product officer of Levi
Strauss & Company, has anything
todoabout it.
Eighty years after introducing
its women’s jeans, Levi’s will un-
veil what Hillman calls the most
comprehensive rethinking of its
female-centricstylessince 1934.
The rejig is a result of two years
of research, including a “glob-
al safari” to cities like Chicago,
Shanghai, Hamburg and Stock-
holm. There were hundreds of in-
terviews with women of different
ages, body typesandethnicities.
The update involves larger
back pockets, for more flattering
optics; new branding, especially
the “two horse pull” label on the
waistband (on all the styles, from
the Lot 700s to the Lot 500s); and
a new brand ambassador, Alicia
Keys. But most of all, it involves

time world champion surfer. She

Keys said that growing up

she said, “I always found my way

she found her way to the new 501s,

7. Ride in the Air After One at Sea to Keep Tourists on Land
Itdoesn’tcost anythingtotake the boat
there. A quaint waterfrontbaseballstadium
offers sweeping views ofLower Manhattan
andcheap tickets.A fort datingtothe War of
1812is one ofthe country’s oldestmilitary
installations.There had been talkofa Nascar
track.
Andyet theproblem persists— how toget
touriststoventure outonto StatenIslandand
nottakethe nextferry right backtoManhat-
tan.
Now,New York City officialsbelieve they
have foundthe answer: a giganticwheel.
Or,more precisely,a 630-foot-tallone that
wouldbecome the world’s largest Ferris
wheel.
Itis the city’s latestand arguablymost
ambitious,ifnotaudacious,attempttodraw
touriststoStatenIsland.Workers have begun
laying the foundationfor thewheel, which will
carry as many as 1,440riders ata time andwill
be visible across New York Harbor.
Every year, two million tourists ride the
Staten Island Ferry, and yet most of them
never leave the terminal.
“What’sgreat is thatpeople docome to
StatenIsland;they justhave nothingtoget off
the ferry for,” saidJonathan Bowles, exec-
utive director ofthe Center for anUrban Fu-
ture,a researchinstitute.“Peopleonthe ferry
are going tosee thishuge wheel beckoning
andlots ofpeople are going towanttodoit.”
Tourism officialsare already promotingthe
wheel, along withthe new WhitneyMuseum
ofAmericanArtand the observatoryatop One
WorldTradeCenter,as part of“the new New
York,” said Fred Dixon,the chief execu-tive of
NYC &Company,the city’s marketing and
tourism organization.
“We were bullish onthe ideafromthe be-
ginning,” Dixon saidrecentlyinaninterview
fromLondon,one ofthe Europeancities
where he had been promotingthe wheel.
Thewheel and a sprawling outlet mall
are knowncollectively as “Destination St.
George,” andwillbe a “game-changer” inthe
quest toattractmore touriststoStatenIsland,
Dixonsaid.“There’s noquestion that’sbeen
the single biggest challenge,toconvince them
toget offtheferry and spendsome time
there.”
But before the wheel canattractanybody,
ithas tobe designed,fabricated,shipped in
pieces toNew York fromaroundthe world,
delivered tothe site onbarges, anderected
like a giganticK’nex project.The city’s Eco-
nomicDevelopment Corporation has asked
the Army CorpsofEngineers for permission
tobuilda temporary pier for the unloading of
the barges.
Withsomany moving parts,the wheel’s
plannersstillface many hurdles. But Rich
Marin,president andchief executive ofthe
New York Wheel, saidfinancingis notone of
them.
Hiscompany is close toraising the full$500

he said.Nearly one-thirdofthatsum,$150

ing visasthatwouldallow them tolive inthe

8. The Struggle of Transgender Workers
Gov. Christie’s Chance to Do Right by Voters
Carter’s Legacy
Quiz time: Which American president was
attackedby a “killer rabbit”?
It was Jimmy Carter, although the incident
says more about the news media than it does
about Carter. He was fishing from a boat in a
pond when a rabbit swam frantically for the
president’s boat.
Carterfended offthe rabbitwithanoar.
A few months later, Carter’s press secretary
happened to mention the incident to a report-
er. Soon there was a flood of articles and car-
toons about a hapless president cowed and
outmatchedby a wet bunny.
One of our worst traits in journalism is that
when we have a narrative in our minds, we of-
ten plug in anecdotes that confirm it. Thus we
used a distraught rabbit to confirm the narra-
tive of Carter as a lightweight cowed by any-
thing thatcame along.
The presshas oftenbeenmercilesstoCarter.
Earlyon,cartoons mocked himas a rube,writ-
ers pilloried him as a sanctimonious hick, and
inrecentyearsithasbeen commontohearthat
he’s anti-Semitic (This about the man whose
CampDavid accord ensuredIsrael’sfuture!).
Now that Carter is 90 and has been an
ex-presidentlongerthananyoneinhistory,it’s
timetocorrect the record.It’sremarkablehow
oftenCartershowed spine.
He has a new memoir,“A FullLife,” recount-
ing that his father was a segregationist. Yet
Carter says he was the only white man in his
town who refused to join the White Citizens’
Council,andhe fought tointegrate his church.
When he wasinauguratedgovernor ofGeor-
gia,hedeclared, “I say toyouquitefranklythat
the time for racial discrimination is over.” He
then erected a portrait of Martin Luther King
Jr.inthe StateCapitol.
It’s true that Carter sometimes floundered
as president. He also had great difficulty, as an
outsider, managing Washington, and suffered
froma measure ofanti-Southernprejudice.
But Carter was also a pioneer. He was the
first to elevate human rights in foreign policy.
He appointed large numbers of women, Lati-
nos and blacks. He established diplomatic re-
lations withChina.
After leaving the presidency, Carter roamed
the globe advocating for human rights and
battling diseases. Because of Carter’s work,
the world is very close to eradicating Guinea
worm disease, an excruciating ailment, and
has made enormous headway against ele-
phantiasis and river blindness as well. Only
five cases of Guinea worm disease have been
reported worldwide in 2015: It’s a race, Carter
acknowledges, between him and the Guinea
worm tosee which outlaststhe other.
Carter, the one-termer who was a pariah
in his own party, may well have improved
the lives of more people in more places over
a longer period of time than any other recent
president. So we in the media owe him an apol-
ogy: We were wrong about you, Mr. President.
You’re not a lightweight at all, and wecan’t wait
Shortly after graduating from college in
Pennsylvania last year, Elaine Rita Mendus
hoppedona Greyhoundbus,hoping the $2,000
inher bankaccountwouldkeep her afloatuntil
the first paycheck. There was only one city in
the country that seemed moderately promis-
ing for a 6-foot-3 transgender woman in the
earlystagesoftransitioningtolauncha career.
“I figured, where else will I be accepted?”
Mendus, 24,said. “New York.”
It was a rude awakening. The luckiest break
she caught after a monthslong quest to find
steady work was a coveted slot at one of the
city’s few homeless shelters that give refuge to
gay and transgender youths for a few months.
It was a blessing, she said, but also “a really
strange pilltoswallow.”
Americans’ understanding of transgender
people has been shaped recently by the rivet-
ing, glamorous lives of the former Olympian
Caitlyn Jenner and the actress Laverne Cox.
The two, though, are far from representative
of an economically disadvantaged community
that continues to face pervasive employment
discrimination, partly as a result of lagging le-
gal protections.
Roughly 15 percent of transgender Amer-
icans earn less than $10,000 a year, a rate of
extreme poverty that is almost four times
higher than the national average, according to
the National Center for Transgender Equality
and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
They are twice as likely to be unemployed as
the general population, though transgender
Americans have a higher level of education
than the general population. About 16 percent
of respondents to a 2011 survey said they re-
sorted to illegal trades like prostitution and
drug dealing. Ninety percent said they faced
harassment, mistreatment or discrimination
on the job. For many, coming out means being
drawn into a cycle of debt, despair and dread-
fulchoices.
Bills to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender workers from discrimination
have been introduced in Congress, but none
have passed. A federal law would help by
prompting employers to update personnel
policies and increase awareness of illegal bias.
As things stand now, laws barring gender iden-
tity-based discrimination vary considerably
fromstatetostateandcity tocity.
“That really contributes to a lot of confusion
for employers who aren’t clear of what their
obligations are under the law,” said Sarah War-
below, the legal director at the Human Rights
Campaign. “Part of what feeds into workplace
culture is a firm grasp on what legal obliga-
tionsthe employer has tothe employee.”
Mendus, who is of Puerto Rican descent and
studied at Indiana University of Pennsylvania,
spent the first few weeks in town applying for
jobs online, but got few promising leads. A paid
internship in the Bronx working on an H.I.V.
prevention campaign sustained her from July
to November, but when those checks stopped,
she becamedesperatetofindwork.
Moving into a shelter in January gave Men-
dus a chance to be more strategic about her job
search. In April, she got a job at a vegan restau-
rantonthe Upper West Side.
Recently, she took and passed the test to be
considered for a slot in the New York Police
Department academy. She’s hoping to become
one of the 1,300officers the city is adding to the
force. Eventually, she would like to be able to
investigate sex crimes. “It’s something I’ve
really come tocare about,” she said.
As he roams far from New Jersey hugging
voters in his quest for the White House, Gov.
Chris Christie has a golden opportunity to
demonstrate his faith in the people by signing a
groundbreaking voter registration bill passed
last month by the state Legislature. It would
make New Jersey a national leader by estab-
lishing automatic voter enrollment at the state
Motor Vehicle Commission, encouraging early
voting opportunities and expanding multilan-
guage election materials.
The measure has everything to recommend it
as a boon for democracy. Yet Christie, once the
champion of expansive bipartisan politicking,
has attacked the measure, called the “Democra-
cy Act,” as a partisan move “to increase the op-
portunity for voter fraud.” He insisted, “There’s
much more politics behind this than there is de-
mocracy,” andstronglyhintedata veto.
“Voter fraud” has become the standard ca-
nard used by Republican statehouses to push
through regressive laws to hinder the voting
rights of minorities. Various studies have
shown voter fraud to be a myth. That Christie
would raise this specious charge is an insult to
his constituents. It’s also a sorry measure of
his willingness to mouth right-wing Republi-
can dogma in pandering on the campaign trail
for his party’spresidentialnomination.
The measure was introduced by the New Jer-
sey lawmakers after the turnout in last year’s
midterm elections was 30.4percent, the lowest
in state history and among the nation’s worst.
New Jersey wouldjoinOregon, which wasfirst
earlier this year to move to automatic voter
registration through its motor vehicle depart-
ment. The legislation would further encourage
turnout by establishing two weeks of in-person
early voting and online services so voters can
registerandupdatetheir information.
These positive reforms obviously encour-

aside his cynical bombast and sign the measure.
Right now, as he works the hustings, he should
be supporting efforts to make elections fairer

Judge Upholds Repeal of Redskins’Trademarks
An Outsider Crashes a Party of Three Stars
Afederaljudgeupheldadecision
by the United States Patent and
Trademark Office’s appeal board
to cancel six trademarks held by
the Washington Redskins, anoth-
er victory for Native American
groups that have been urging the
teamfordecadestoscrapitsname.
The ruling was a blow to the
team, which has vociferously
claimed that its name is not racist
as some Native American groups
contend. It is also another head-
ache forN.F.L.CommissionerRog-
er Goodell, who has stoodby own-
er Dan Snyder’s decision to resist
callstochange thenameandlogo.
In a 70-page ruling, Judge Ger-
aldBruce Lee oftheUnitedStates
District Court in Northern Virgin-
ia said that the Trademark Trial
and Appeal Board was correct in
canceling six of the team’s trade-
mark registrations that contain
the word redskin. The board,
which ruled on decisions made by
the Patent and Trademark Office,
agreed that the word “may dispar-
age” Native Americans.
In August, the team went to fed-
eral court to try to overturn the
decision. The team said it plans to
appeal Lee’s ruling.
In the short term, the decision
is unlikely to have a substantive
effect on the team. Though it has
lost six trademarks, it is free to
continuetouseitsnameandlogos
undercommon law rights.
The team will lose certain pro-
tections. Federal customs offi-
cials, for instance, would not be
obligated to confiscate Redskins
merchandise that entered the
country. That could lead to more
counterfeit gear on the market,
which might hurt vendors and po-
tentially all N.F.L. teams — except
the Dallas Cowboys, who have
their own merchandising deal —
because they share revenue from
licensed merchandise.
Lee’s ruling will provide more
ammunition to the team’s oppo-
nents, who have been fighting to
pressure the team and league to
scrapthe name. KEN BELSON
WIMBLEDON, England — One
by one, the men’s quarterfinal re-
sults came in, with three favorites
winning quickly in straight sets
Wednesday. But as the sun sank
low, Richard Gasquet and Stan
Wawrinka kept pumping their
graceful one-handed backhands
ateach other onCentre Court.
The light was fading, and per-
haps some of the players’ ener-
gy, but not their will to survive,
and not the audience’s reactions,
which alternated between fo-
cused silence and enormous out-
bursts on virtually every point in
a protractedfifthset.
Without the benefit of a tie-
breaker in the deciding set, the
two men played on until the 20th
game, when Gasquet finally broke
Wawrinka’s serve to win, 6-4,4-6,
3-6, 6-4,11-9,in the only thriller of
the day.
The final set lasted 84minutes,
and the match took 3 hours 28
minutes. It was worth every min-
ute for Gasquet, 29, who matched
his best showing in a Grand Slam
tournament. He also reached the
semifinals at Wimbledon in 2007
and the United States Open in
2013. But he said this one exceed-
ed those.
“It was my best victory,” he
said.
In a semifinal Friday, Gasquet,
the No. 21seed, will play top-seed-
ed Novak Djokovic, who has
won 11 of their 12 meetings. The
other semifinal will feature
second-seeded Roger Federer
against third-seeded Andy Mur-
ray in a rematch of the 2012 Wim-
bledon and Olympic finals, which
the two men split (Federer won
at Wimbledon, and Murray at the
Olympics).
Had Wawrinka survived, the
men’s semifinals would have
consisted of the top four seeds for
the first time since 1995. Instead,
Gasquet bashed his way into the
party knowing that he is the out-
sider anda decidedunderdog.
“I’m the worst,” he said, “when
you see Federer, Djokovic, Mur-
ray and me.”
Djokovic looked dominant in
beating the ninth-seeded Marin
Cilic, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, in 1:48 to contin-
ue his drive to defend his title. It
will be Djokovic’s sixth consecu-
tive Wimbledon semifinal and his
27thGrandSlamsemifinal.
Federer also made quick work
of No. 12 Gilles Simon, 6-3, 7-5, 6-2,
on Court 1 to reach his 37th major
semifinal,extending his record.
Federer, who has never lost in a
semifinal here, will play Murray,
the victor over Vasek Pospisil, 6-4,
7-5, 6-4.In their 23matches Feder-
er holdsa 12-11advantage.

10. Key to Winning in Orienteering Is Not Getting Lost
UPPSALA, Sweden — About
100 yards inside one entrance of
the Lunsen forest is a rock ledge
formed millenniums ago when all
of Scandinavia was covered by
ice. A thicket of bushes lines the
near edge of a gully. On the far
edge, a group of trees rises, pro-
viding the false impression that
they are not so far away when in
fact, a steep fall awaits anyone
who stepsofftheprecipice.
“So look,” Thierry Gueorgiou
said, pointing to a folded map.
“See that rock? It is this tiny, little
black dot here. And so we must go
down the other side.”
With that, Gueorgiou, a lanky
Frenchman, was off again. His
voice rose in excitement as he
explained that the key to his dom-
inance in the sport known as ori-
enteering was an innate ability to
quickly convert a two-dimension-
al piece of paper with a variety of
symbols on it into a three-dimen-
sionalroute through the woods.
Gueorgiou, 36,has won 12world
championships in orienteering,
a sport that in its purest form is
largely based on athletes running
over courses of varying terrain
with only a map and a compass
to guide them toward a series of
checkpoints.
During the world champion-
ships in the Scottish Highlands
in August, Gueorgiou will be
seeking to win a 13th title that, he
said, would “be a dream for me.” It
could also cap a career that began
when he was a little boy and his
father sketched a map of the local
schoolyardbefore sendingGueor-
giouandhisfriends crawlingover
every crevice oftheir playground.
“It is just this automatic part of
his mind,” said Gueorgiou’s girl-
friend, Annika Billstam, who is a
toporienteer as well.
Gueorgiou is the closest thing to
a celebrity in orienteering, one of a
few athletes who can make a living
as a professional through sponsor-
shipsandother agreements.
On various occasions while
orienteering, Gueorgiou has con-
fronted a bear (“It was alarm-
ing”); been carried away from a
competition by helicopter after ac-
cidentally swallowing a bee (he is
allergic); and stopped in the mid-
dle of a race to rip off his shirt and
use it as a tourniquet after an op-
ponent fell and impaled his thigh
with a stick(“I justreacted”).
Gueorgiou conceded that “the
end of my career is definitely
nearing.” He plans to make a deci-
sion in September about whether
tocontinueracing.
Billstam said there was no
question that orienteering would
remain a part of the couple’s lives.
The instinctive pursuit of a perfect
route that is all but hard-wired in-
tobothofthem.
“There is an Ikea maybe three
or four kilometers away from
our apartment,” Billstam said.
“That’s it — three or four kilome-
ters. But if we have to go, we al-
ways have an argument. Which is
the best way?”
She laughed. “Then we talk
about every turn.” SAMBORDEN
