MISTER PEEPERS

God bless the bureaucrat and the lawyer, too

They're public punching bags

But someone's gotta do it

It's not so sexy, the procedure or the truth

I say God bless the bureaucrat and the lawyer, too

The House Intelligence Committee piles on

They'd love to know what Rosenstein has on the boss

But it's just for cameras, yeah, it's just a show of force

Y'all know he can't comply

But that's the point, of course

So they call him Mister Peepers

As the thugs all smash his glasses

Going full Lord of the Flies

Burning this island down to ashes

What's the rule of law if we can't agree on what a fact is?

There ain't nothing here to see, folks, move along, move along

Thank God for facts

They're stubborn things indeed

But little cowboys will try cases on TV

It doesn't make it so

Because you make believe

You can't lose in court and appeal on Hannity

The distinguished wrestler from Ohio

He's free to lie, he's not the one who's under oath

The law don't suit the boss

This Deputy must go

We got him in the locker room, boys

Start the show

So they call him Mister Peepers

Send some thugs to smash his glasses

If he's gone and peeped the wrong thing

Then they'll burn his name to ashes

What's the rule of law

If we can't establish what a fact is?

There ain't nothing here to see, folks, move along, ah move along

They say it dies in the dark

Right now, they're trying to kill it in broad daylight

Can flashlights really fight bombs?

We'll see

Right now

You boys are Christians, right?

What would Jesus do?

Would he bury crimes and carry water like a stooge?

Or smear a family man in case he tells the truth

About the boss?

Yeah, what would Jesus do?

Would he call him Mister Peepers?

Send some thugs to smash his glasses?

The institution's standing tall

Though we tried our best to trash it

Aren't we all the keepers

Of this fragile young Republic?

And when all those Mister Peepers people fall...

Lord help us all

So what happened when we reached out to a famous musician for a contribution to this issue? We got a song about Rod Rosenstein, of course. Ben Folds was interested in our idea of combining journalism with pop music, and it was new territory for him as well as us. We discussed a range of possible subjects, but by that point Rosenstein already had a grip on him - for reasons that come through in his lyrics. We paired him with a reporter who sent him regular updates on Rosenstein's role in the Mueller Russia probe. One particular detail that interested Ben was that President Trump had allegedly referred to Rosenstein, to aides, as Mr. Peepers, because of his glasses.

That imagery, in turn, led Ben to a character from literature known for his vulnerability. "I think the first thing that came to my mind was images of 'Lord of the Flies,' " Ben says. "I thought of the thugs that break the little kid's glasses." Rod Rosenstein as Piggy, in a sense. Ben worked this into the song, using him in a way, as songwriters do, that wasn't intended to be literal. "Now that we've established the glasses as simple imagery to tie you into 'Lord of the Flies,' now they're what you see things through. Do we want this guy seeing facts?" He was drawn to the deputy attorney general, Ben explains, "because of the personal position he's been put in and the position that we're in at these crossroads, where we find ourselves deciding to stick up for our norms - or not."

The price of energy extraction in rural America: A poem by Eliza Griswold. Illustration by Franziska Barczyk.

When The Washington Post Magazine asked if there might be a part of my new book, " Amity and Prosperity," that wanted to be a poem, I was delighted. The book follows Harley Haney, a 14-year-old boy, and his family over seven years as they try to solve the mystery of what's sickening them and their animals on a small farm in southwestern Pennsylvania's Washington County.

"Amity and Prosperity," which takes its name from two nearby towns, is the story of what went wrong at a shale-gassite a quarter of a mile from the Haneys, which became the subject of several lawsuits against the Texas-based oil and gas company Range Resources and its subcontractors, as well as the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Time and again, state and federal agents arrived in Amity promising solutions, and none came. The resulting legal cases chronicle a litany of leaks and spills and accidents that occurred at the site, which included a six-acre waste pond leaking and off-gassing dangerous levels of toxins into the air.

(Range Resources has admitted to having "challenges" at the site but has denied in court that its operations contaminated the Haneys' water or led to health problems. "Court-ordered independent medical examinations of the plaintiffs all concluded that there was no objective evidence linking Range's operations to any alleged or real medical conditions," the company said in a recent statement.)

Both this poem and the book it is based on explore the darker side of American energy independence, examining the myriad ways in which rural Americans have paid for urban Americans' energy appetites for more than a century - and how that has fed their ire and sense of being left behind.

What I figured out about America's future from visiting Trump resorts throughout the world

1. The Blind

One day, the boy, a hunter, stalked a deer.

He saw, he swore,

its neck and body blossoming

in purple tumors.

He said so under oath, that over near Prosperity

he'd spied this sickened creature as it fled.

But nothing was for certain and the illnesses were odd.

At night, the sky roared and burned amber. A man-made wind scorched

the ridge,

the lick of the Devil's dry tongue, pungent with sulfur

exhaling apocalypse.

Doom intended just for them.

How could they not believe the land had turned against them,

poisoned air and water,

wreaking havoc by its necessary use.

It was impossible to view such sickness as impersonal.

It had to be a curse.

Worse to think their lives amounted to so little no one cared

if they were lost.

2. Terrible Creatures

Other hunters spoke of terrible creatures

they'd seen or feared they'd seen pre-dawn in quarter light.

Honorable men who weren't inclined to lay false claim,

who'd served in Vietnam, or in Iraq, or underground

in coal mines, said, Nothing

is for certain, but these illnesses are odd.

They said such things amongst themselves at night,

around the stocked pond of the Anawanna Club,

where catfish -

scavengers, Carrion Comfort

of the late Anthropocene -

swam so thick the surface writhed.

The hunters loved the animals they killed,

They loved the earth,

Their lives were built on usefulness

yet were no longer useful.

Suddenly

an industry returned

to offer relevance and purpose in this world

where they'd long learned that nothing is for certain.

And the ones who spoke of illnesses

were the ones not getting rich.

Maybe they envied their neighbors,

and envy was a sin. They said things like:

God helps those who help themselves.

and Every life involves some give-and-take.

Refrains of hymns sung from a century of sweat and muscle work.

3. The Trouble With the Government

In rode the useless regulators uselessly.

It didn't matter that they carried guns.

It didn't matter that the chemicals were in the air and water.

No,

the necessary facts had more to do

with ruling out innumerable variables,

with being certain, being absolutely sure

that the leaking waste pond which had (no question) leaked

- that much was clear -

had leaked into the water and the air,

or just the air,

which had been studied wrong

such that the calculations of the chemicals

were off.

Bad math.

The trouble with the government was that it always failed,

and even still, its agencies still wanted

something in return.

There was a time the county's men rose up.

They'd tarred and feathered tax collectors

here. These men were heroes; these men

were unafraid

to take up arms against outsiders who no longer came on horseback.

Now they came in SUVs, contagion in their tire treads,

promising change as if change were for the good.

The government was too naive to understand

that change had never once come for the good.

4. Goodbye, Farmhouse

Nothing to do but leave the farm

pack up the harder objects:

china plates and childhood portraits,

great-grandmother's wooden spindle,

her darning egg and rocking chair.

Soft things must be left behind.

Their threads and cotton batting

might be laced with toxins and odd illnesses -

with what was sickening the air.

though nothing is for certain.

No handmade John Deere valances.

No Realtree quilts or comforters.

No baby clothes packed carefully away

for babies who may never now be born,

their parents' endocrines disrupted,

their chromosomes transmogrified

futures torn asunder by synthetic waste.

Consumption has consequences

not yet peer reviewed and so,

considered harmless in that

their harms are uncalculated

and incalculable.

And leave behind ...

And leave behind ...

And leave behind ...

And leave.

5. The Basement

The carrying cost of two mortgages

was breaking them, so the boy moved into

the basement and enrolled in cyber school.

He finished high school from his bed -

no sweat. He tried his hand at

muscle work, too high-risk in high trees,

but it proved dangerous, and costly

to carry the proper insurance,

and what was insurance other than

a lie a company told about a safer future

when more disasters lay in wait

and what was the point of living

more of those days, marching

toward private calamity,

waiting for whatever lay sleeping

in his blood to wake. He didn't sleep

much anymore. He went to lay pipe

for the industry that he believed

had profited by costing him.

He raged. Sometimes

he punched holes

in the basement walls.

6. Omelas

In "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,"

Ursula Le Guin (who died this year)

tells the story of a happy country -

In Omelas, alpha children baring glittering teeth

ride bareback in a race around a bay,

where pennants snap triumphant semaphore

from the rigging of expensive boats

as the children gallop around the water-meadow.

None are cursed with blemishes -

no shriveled limbs or limbic systems

laid awry - no, for these perfect children

a perfect future is in order.

On the verge of growing up,

each one is led, in turn,

to a cellar at the edge of town,

where a child is chained to the wall.

He begs them for release until

they understand his suffering,

his illnesses are paying for their happiness.

This is certain. Some children choose

to walk away from Omelas.

Others stay.

We can stay

or join the departed.

What I figured out about America's future from visiting Trump resorts throughout the world

Supervision, nostalgia, drama: A play in three acts, by Amanda Long. Illustration by Eric Giriat.

Read the script

How do you write a nonfiction play? It all starts with the right subject. As writer Amanda Long discovered, the experiences of chaperones at a prom - a setting where adults are both looking out for the next generation and reflecting on their own youth, a place where past and present waltz together - can make for a poignant, theatrical script. Amanda zeroed in on her characters at T.C. Williams High School's 2018 prom as soon as she got there - observing the scene and asking them questions, separately and together, in between their official duties as chaperones, while also listening to their conversations with one another. Everything everyone says or does in this play is what happened, though editing helped to give the acts and dialogue shape.

Proms have certainly changed over the past generation - smartphones, selfies - but there are also ways in which one of the most dramatic nights of any teenager's life has remained completely the same: the thrill of dressing up, the pageantry of growing older. And this, too: the worry of adults, as well as their cherished memories.

"Prom Chaperones: A Play in Three Acts"

CAST

ERIN HUDSON 35, history teacher

ALICIA CORDERO 35, English and leadership teacher

MATTHEW HENRY 41, English and leadership teacher

TAMMY IGNACIO 51, lead administrator for Operations and Student Services

SETTING

At the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Va., for the T.C. Williams High School senior prom. Teachers and other school employees are volunteering to help the event run smoothly.

TIME

7 p.m. Saturday.

ACT I

Teachers and administrators from the school gather in the atrium lobby, as a steady mist falls outside and early arrivals slowly trickle in, gathering in clusters, readjusting straps, posing for pictures and swapping out wet shoes for dry ones.

ALICIA

What I remember most about my prom was my dress. It was a dream come true: sparkly teal, fake-diamond-encrusted, some unfortunate amount of crinoline. I was not ready to say goodbye to it for a long time. My junior year of college, I walked around in it for a full day. Did the dishes, did the laundry. I needed to have a moment, to thank it and, hey, I was happy I could still fit into it! Then I took it to Goodwill.

MATTHEW

I left prom after about 30 minutes to go to the clubs in D.C. My friend and I went to the bathroom in the lobby to change and ran right into the principal on the way out. He said we looked nice and asked where we were headed. We named the club that everyone knew was the most all-age friendly. We did not go there, but we did go to other clubs. We had a blast.

TAMMY

It was the '80s, so you can imagine my dress. I looked like Mary Poppins! I had a hat. A hat! And a full hoop skirt. There wasn't an inch of skin showing.

ERIN

It was such a fun night. I went with all my girlfriends, so none of that relationship drama, just all of us together, excited in that way only teenage girls can get. I remember looking forward to it so much and wanting it to go well so badly. Getting ready for prom is a full-day event. And that's as much a part of the fun.

MATTHEW

I was walking down Mount Vernon Avenue about 9 a.m., and the hair salons right on the strip were already full of kids getting their hair done.

ERIN

We are just hoping their hair holds; it's so humid and rainy. That's our fear. Truly. They try so hard. They pay so much money. It's a big deal. Our school only has a senior prom, so this is likely the only time many are going to get to even go to a prom. You just so hope that nothing goes wrong, even if it's just getting your hair rained on.

MATTHEW

My advice to other chaperones? Remember this is not about you. You're here to help them have an unforgettably good time. That's it, not to relive your prom.

ERIN

I've seen chaperones do it all kinds of ways. Some go the "whole nice Sunday church dress look," while others go all out, almost formal.

MATTHEW

Some want to outdo the kids.

ALICIA

Actually - surprise - it's not about you!

MATTHEW

Right, it's not your night. I mean, it's your money if that's how you want to spend it. But that's not what we do. The fact that my shirt is tucked in is a big deal.

ERIN

You know, though, I never get this dressed up at school. [Gestures toward her black dress and not-so-little black heels.] They never see me like this! It's fun to see their reactions, though. It's our way of showing them that they're worth the effort - that prom is worth all this. These shoes are not for me. They're for you, kids.

MATTHEW

Last year, one of my kids was like, "Dang, Mr. Henry. You look gooooood. I should have asked you to be my date!"

ALICIA

[Deadpan.] Um, no. That's illegal.

Lights dim.

ALICIA

I most definitely remember my first time chaperoning. I was working at the check-in table, so I got to see every single kid arrive. I got to see every one of my students looking their best, so beautiful. I was literally taking photos the whole time. I needed to document my kids going to prom.

ERIN

That's what I've been looking forward to the most: seeing my kids, my babies, and the transformation.

ALICIA

They told us not to do that in college - to call your students "your kids." When you spend more hours in a day with them than their parents do, they do kind of become your kids.

A student, an early arrival, approaches.

STUDENT NO. 1

Hey, Mr. Henry.

The chaperones erupt in proud exclamations over his T-shirt-to-tux transformation.

ALICIA

Oh, look at how sharp we are. Give me a turn. Give me a turn. Oh, there you go.

The student obliges.

MATTHEW

I think I've seen you dressed up for no more than half a day. You should do this more often.

STUDENT NO. 1

Thanks. Is the prom this way?

The teachers nod and point in the direction of the escalator to the lower lobby, where the ticket table and ballroom await.

ERIN

I don't have any kids of my own, so maybe it would be different. Your own kids need to take precedence. I'd have their events to be a part of, but I don't know if they'd always want me there. The kids are actually excited to see us - their teachers - at prom. I don't know if it's the same when you're their parent.

TAMMY

My daughter is in there somewhere. I have instructions to stay away, and I'm going to honor them. It's not easy having an administrator as a mom - especially here at the prom.

A cacophonous entourage descends the escalator, filling the lower lobby with whoops, hollers and camera flashes.

We had a photographer come to the house. My daughter did the T.C. Williams colors theme: red, white and blue. Her dress is red. Her date is wearing navy with a red tie. I helped her pick out the dress. I've seen the changes gradually. It was harder for her dad. The transformation was all at once.

MATTHEW

The next time they get this dressed up - for most of them - is their wedding. You can't help but think of that when you see someone in a tux whom you're used to seeing in sweats. This may be just another Saturday night to you, but this is likely the fanciest they've ever been.

ALICIA

Prom is a glimpse into their future.

ACT II

The teachers move closer to the escalator in the atrium as attendees arrive and need to be corralled toward the lower level.

MATTHEW

Our biggest worry, honestly, is the death of a student. I know that sounds morbid. It's not unheard of. It is prom. That's the thing you don't want the most.

ERIN

Literally the things I tell all my kids about prom is be safe and make good decisions.

MATTHEW

We say it all the time. As they walk out the door, that's the last thing they hear from us: "Make good choices."

ALICIA

Part of our role is to show them how adults can go out, have fun, and it doesn't have to involve drinking.

MATTHEW

We hundred-percent do not endorse them getting rooms here, but we can't stop it.

ALICIA

We don't endorse it and we don't ask about it. I don't want to know because I can't do anything about it.

MATTHEW

When I was in high school, we rented an entire hotel floor one year, and all the things I don't want to picture these kids doing? Yeah, that all happened.

Lights dim.

At the bottom of the escalator, in the lower lobby.

TAMMY

A car accident is the thing I fear the most, but it's the easiest one to avoid. There's absolutely no reason anyone should drive a car tonight! Uber! Taxi! Call your ... [She stops and rushes toward a girl who is smiling and waving as she prepares to exit the escalator.] Your train! Lift up your train! [The girl does so, and a wardrobe malfunction is averted.] That right there is quickly becoming my second-biggest fear: a dress getting caught in the escalator and pulling its owner down with it.

MATTHEW

Homecoming is where the drama is. So many more kids. So many underclassmen. I mean, in terms of chaperoning, it's all hands. We don't get as many volunteers for chaperones at homecoming. With 2,000 kids in the school gym, it's all hands on deck. But I think most staff like to chaperone prom because it's not as crazy.

ERIN

I haven't chaperoned homecoming for years because at my previous job I saw things I didn't want to have to police on a Saturday. Plus, it's at the school. The expectation is lower. You're at your first high school dance. You're emotional. Seniors, well, they know what's next. Graduation. Adulthood.

ALICIA

And since everyone goes, it gets more complicated. There's more of that, "You said we were a couple, so why are you here with her?"

MATTHEW

Social media is the biggest difference. We didn't have any of that; we didn't have to worry about any of that.

ALICIA

There are some pictures of my prom that I found when I was moving recently, and I am so very thankful that they're not out there.

ERIN

Every adult I know says, "Thank God my prom wasn't on Facebook."

MATTHEW

There is one photo of my prom. One photo. That's all the evidence that exists of my prom.

ERIN

They really don't have any idea of how big of an impact social media will have, how it never really goes away.

MATTHEW

It just keeps them from being in the moment.

ALICIA

It's not all of them. About 10 to 15 percent of the kids do know how to live without it. Or they're making a conscious effort to at least try.

ACT III

Just inside the revolving doors of the hotel's main entrance. The time is 8:30.

Erin remains to greet the last students. A group of girls who were in her AP class last year enter, and when they see her they start jumping around in excitement. She takes their pictures; they take pictures of her. They huddle so Erin can take a group selfie.

ERIN

I love that the pressure to come as a couple is gone. When I went to prom, it was just all my girlfriends. And now I see my girls coming in and, well, it just makes me happy. I know that sounds sappy. But seriously, I teach 11th grade, so this is the first year my students are at prom. They were taking my picture. They were like, "Miss Hudson, you look so good. I am so glad you're here!" And I was like, "You look amazing. I can't believe you think I'd be anywhere else!" I remember those teachers who truly connected with me, who were interested in my life beyond those four walls. That's the kind of teacher I want to be. If you can't be there for your kids beyond those four walls, you'll never truly connect.

She pauses to fully appreciate a pair of royal blue, very sparkly, seemingly dangerous loafers with spikes worn by a male student who approaches.

[To student.] Look at your shoes! Do they hurt? I mean, does it hurt to touch them? What are you going to do when your date needs to take off her heels and she has to avoid getting hurt by your spiky shoes? These are the things you need to think about.

Lights fade.

Ticket table, lower lobby. Matthew, Alicia and two other chaperones take tickets and IDs from attendees, dispensing compliments and reminders to vote for king and queen.

ALICIA

You know how we avoid king and queen drama? Google! Students vote tonight as they enter. We do that on the Google Forms platform, so we get the results automatically. No one can stuff the ballot. I no longer have to sit here and count. I know Google is taking over our lives, but I approve in this case!

MATTHEW

It can get pretty cutthroat - not so much at prom, but definitely at homecoming. But, yeah, it can get competitive. In 2015, there was some campaigning at prom, and the girl who thought she was going to win, who everyone kind of presumed would win, showed up late. Really, she showed up two minutes before we stopped letting kids in. And the girl who did all the campaigning won. The other girl was so gracious about it.

This year's prom queen is a late arrival to the ticket. When Alicia and Matthew notice a lack of entrants to be queen, they encourage a leadership student to run. When she emerges from the ballroom, she wears an incredulous grin, sash and tiara.

You won! You won! You look so happy!

ALICIA

Come here! We need a group hug. We need pictures of all of us.

They hug and take selfies. The queen returns to her friends.

MATTHEW

She's just a very, very nice girl. You just have to love when a very, very nice girl becomes queen.

ALICIA

Where's the prom king?

MATTHEW

He already left. Oh well.

Lights fade.

The night starts to wind down, and a growing number of students gathers just outside the ballroom entrance, near the coveted outlets. They sprawl out on the floor and stay close to the wall to keep their phones plugged in.

STUDENT NO. 2

We should just go, you know? We're all kind of over it, and we should leave when everyone is still in a good mood.

Her group stays put.

MATTHEW

[Exiting the ballroom, raising his voice.] I'm looking for a kid wearing a Batman mask. Has anyone seen a kid in a Batman mask? He took it from the photo booth, and they want it back.

VOLUNTEER NO. 1

I told him he needed to make sure that a mask was okay with the principal, but I haven't seen him since. Maybe check the bathroom.

MATTHEW

I'm not chasing him down in the bathroom. If someone taking a Batman mask from the photo booth is the worst thing that happens tonight, we are good. We are all good.

Lights fade.

What I figured out about America's future from visiting Trump resorts throughout the world

James Comey's book tour: A poem by Robert Pinsky. Reporting by Katie Zavadski. Illustration by Jörn Kaspuhl.

Lies can be charismatic, the truth is cloudy,

With its traditional testing place a body.

I cross my heart and hope to die. The breath,

One hand on the book, one raised, exhales the oath.

The bully making a club of the victim's hand,

"You hit yourself": Falsehood asserts Command.

Mortgage papers declare and hereby pledge

That money is money. Sign here, page after page.

The President holds up for the camera's eye

A paper with his signature, two inches high.

Times when he lied or cheated, the Director

Made longhand notes. Now the Director's an author

On a bookstore tour. He produced his clunky book

Himself. No ghost. In a defensive joke

At signings a writer I know likes to set up

A jar he labels "For Tips": wry overlap

Of Truth, Marketing and Art. Any collector

Knows to pay less for copies with a signed sticker

Than one with its title page directly signed:

Authentic, true. But on the other hand,

Inscribed to someone's name is somehow worth less

Than simply Signed, out here in the marketplace -

But why? The blemish of the particular?

Or truth too a commodity? Flailing for air.

My poem "The Signings" comes from a unique collaboration, arranged by The Washington Post Magazine, between reporter Katie Zavadski and me. Our subject: James Comey's book, "A Higher Loyalty," and his book tour. Katie attended the New York and Washington events on that tour, interviewed attendees and followed the coverage.

After we had a couple of brief telephone conversations, Katie sent me a polished piece, in effect an excellent feature article balancing sympathy and judgment. That was the basis for "The Signings." Like me, Katie has her viewpoint. One of her sentences crisply described Comey's project as "Misguided but honest, and hellbent on honor, unlike the circle of assent that surrounds Trump."

As I began working on my poem, with her work as a starting point, I thought about book tours and the ritual (familiar to me) of the signed copy as bodily evidence of an encounter. Katie's words "honest" and "honor" made me think about the relation of authorial book signings to signed and notarized legal documents, and to oaths uttered or documented.

I was struck by Katie's description of the bodily line sitters, hired to save a place in the queue, and her account of people who got on the line early, as if they were true fans, so they could buy signed copies to sell for a quick profit on eBay. I had read that the word "testimony" is related to "testicles," with ancient Roman witnesses required to swear on that part of the body. Line sitters, copy sellers, testes: All of this material suggested ways the elusive quality of truth can be pursued (or claimed) by using the human body.

Katie notes Comey's uninspired, derivative writing about the president's physical appearance. She observes that in those passages Comey echoes not only much of the standard derision of Donald Trump, but also the substandard derisory style of Trump himself. Her evaluation of Comey as a writer resonates, in the poem, with my adjective "clunky."

Katie's compact phrase "misguided but honest" and her evocation of the sometimes weird manners of bookstore "events" - is the author a rock star or a lecturer? - led me to the "defensive joke" of a writer I know, setting up a tip jar at the table where he signs copies of his book. In the Venn diagram of "Truth, Marketing and Art," the first two of those realms convincingly overlap in Comey's undertaking, with Trump's diagram including only one of the three. With his tip jar my friend strives for all three: acknowledging the truth that he is marketing his art.

I'm grateful to Katie Zavadski for her concise, alert reporting. I hope that "The Signings" achieves reporting of its own kind, by telling what I see in the current news - for example, in the third couplet, about the kind of lie that intends not to deceive, but to assert the liar's power: Command that doesn't bother to deceive, but asserts itself as above obedience to truth.

- Robert Pinsky

Keeping it simple. Ripe avocados, BRIGHT lime juice, sharp onions, sturdy chips. Can't stop.

Salsa de Marañón

Sly heat and smoky notes.

CEVICHE

LOTS going on here. Stunning combo, tho. Shredded rabbit, cool greens, hummus (!?) carrot dressing. Delish.

TACOS AL PASTOR

Dig pork's crisp edges. Sweet pineapple.

AGUACHILE DE PULPO

Is there a restaurant that doesn't serve octopus?

Tamal de pollo

Too complex? Tongue in somersaults. Braised thigh = tender, with serrano broth (hot and bright green). Smoke + sass + citrus bite 2 bite.

TACOS DE PESCADO

HA. Flashback to cafeteria fish sticks (in a good way). Calling all lunch ladies. Wish I had these fixings in school. Tortillas starting to fill me up. Pro tip: Bundle fish in lettuce wraps.

Coliflor

Chef got idea from Pujol in CDMX. Cauliflower cooked in chicken fat, so #notvegetarian. Fired, seasoned with salt and sesame. Fried chicken skin on top = CRUNCH.

CHILES SHISHITOS

Who needs chips and dip? These are everywhere now. Some hot, some not.

Cinco Leches Cake & Churros

Doughy cake, doughy fritters - kitchen rushed? Best part of churros R mezcal-soaked cherries. V boozy.

It can be hard to predict what President Trump will say next. Here is your chance to try. Below are excerpts from the president's remarks at a campaign rally in Great Falls, Mont., on July 5, 2018, with blank spaces where words are left out. Fill in the blanks as directed.

Well, thank you, Montana. What a place. What a . And it's great to be here tonight with of hard-working American patriots. Thank you. ... As you know, there's now a vacancy on the Supreme Court. And if you turn in Monday at 9 o'clock, I think you're going to be extremely with the selection, right? ... And I want to thank Justice Kennedy for his lifetime of truly distinguished service. And he had confidence in . He left because he said, "You're going to pick somebody ," and so nice. So nice. Great man, great - a great gentleman. ... You know, we turned away of people.

South Korea. Every time, they say, "I'd like to you." ... We're the fastest- economically nation in the world. Think of that. Thanks to Republican leadership, America is again. ... And America's being again all over the world. Been a long time. We're winning. ... With your , your and your, we are going to keep on fighting, and we are going to keep on winning. And the truth is, you will never, ever get tired of , never. ... Thank you, Montana. Thank you.

What I figured out about America's future from visiting Trump resorts throughout the world

The national duckpin bowling championship, in verse. Poem by Gene Weingarten. Reporting by Rachel Manteuffel. Illustration by Mikel Jaso.

Rachel Manteuffel: The first day of the National Duckpin Bowling Congress Tournament, I met a man who had taken up duckpin bowling after coming home from fighting in World War II, and I met a female bowler who was born in 1999. The continuous sound of the bowling machinery is like cutlery in an industrial dishwasher. Two men who repaired the foul-line buzzer had done this together for so many years they used a shorthand that they could not actually explain when it was read back to them verbatim. They fixed the buzzer just fine. With the regular way of reporting a feature story, the way I'm used to doing it, about 8 percent of what you observe will actually make it into the published text. You find out which 8 percent when you sit down to write. With this one, it was more like one-tenth of 1 percent was going to matter, and it was out of my hands entirely which bits those would be. It was terrifying and a tremendous relief...

Gene Weingarten: After spending 27 hours reporting her story over three successive weekends, Rachel did the job to which she'd been assigned: She delivered her raw notes to me, 2,500 words that tried to answer the question: What Is the Meaning of Duckpin Bowling? My job, to which I'd been assigned, was to reduce her notes to 350 words - as a poem, it would have to try to answer the question: What Is the Meaning of Life? I thought this was the worst assignment I ever had, until Rachel and I got to talking...

Behold! We're at a duckpin bowling tourney

In County Page, Va. (pop. 23,726).

From Washington, a two-plus-hour journey

To see this dying sport of bucktoothed hicks.

But wait! These people here, they aren't bumpkins!

They're folks who love this game, and here's the crux:

They're rolling balls the size of pygmy pumpkins

At pins the shape of plump and squatting ducks.

They learned it from their moms and dads and grannies.

They treasure most this legacy, their past.

And though these weathered lanes have nooks and crannies

The balls roll flat and true and fine and fast.

So let us now reflect a bit upon it:

Duckpin bowling - You deserve a sonnet.

Say hi to T-Bowl Lanes in Shenandoah,

Near Luray Caverns (calcite, they are rich in).

Machinery seems near as old as Noah,

You'd see this stuff in Alice Kramden's kitchen.

The gears and belts are creaky, but they're fine

Until they're not. Scott Hensley ambles in:

He tinkers, making ancient things align.

Till they're humming 'midst that bowling alley din.

The winning prize? A couple hundred bucks.

Which barely covers entrance fees and so.

Rhode Islanders have driven up in trucks.

Most everyone is losing lots of dough.

Why isn't duckpin bowling dead and gone?

A sort of love is helping it limp on.

No one makes these gears and belts today:

The market for spare parts is nonexistent.

So scrounging has become the only way -

And scroungers are determined and persistent.

Duckpin lanes are going straight to pot -

Fewer and fewer houses yet remain.

Old Fredericksburg's is now a parking lot!

Duckpinners are a dying breed, it's plain.

The winner of this tourney's seventy-six.

But Jeffrey Ferrand rolls a mighty ball.

Still, it's fair to ask, while down here in the sticks -

Does duckpin have a future now at all?

To live and love and in this life to thrive?

Denial is our main tool to survive.

El proyecto de ampliación del Canal de Panamá podría ser uno de los mayores retos a los que se ha enfrentado la ingeniería moderna, pero es mucho más que eso. Un país entero está pendiente de la finalización de una obra que en estos momentos aporta 900 millones de euros cada año a las arcas públicas, en torno al 5% del presupuesto anual del Estado. El tercer juego de esclusas en construcción permitirá a las autoridades que gestionan la infraestructura desde que Estados Unidos la entregó formalmente en 1999 a Panamá elevar las tarifas y duplicar los ingresos para la nación.

Pero la ampliación también va a tener efectos planetarios. La entrada en funcionamiento de la nueva arteria del canal supondrá una de las mayores innovaciones en la navegación mundial desde que se inauguraron los dos primeros juegos de esclusas hace un siglo. El 6% del comercio global recurre actualmente a este paso para llegar a su destino, y la cifra crecerá con el tercer paso.
También se elevará el tamaño de los barcos que cruzan de océano a océano por el Canal. Los mercantes clase Post-Panamax surcan los mares desde 1988 con dimensiones demasiados elevadas (385 metros de eslora frente a los 294 metros de los Panamax) para las dos esclusas actuales. El tercer juego salvará ese problema, incrementando la capacidad de transporte de la ruta hasta los 14.000 contenedores por barco, un cambio que removerá los cimientos en los que se ha asentado durante décadas el flujo marítimo mundial de mercancías.

Pero el proyecto también tiene implicaciones en clave nacional. La ejecución fue adjudicada en 2009 al consorcio Grupo Unidos por el Canal (GUPC), liderado por la constructora española Sacyr con un 48% de las acciones. Así, la obra ha supuesto un reto para la compañía pero también para la marca España. No es sólo un hito de la ingeniería pero también es eso. Coordinar a más de 10.000 obreros al mismo tiempo, construir simultáneamente dos juegos de esclusas de un kilómetro y medio de longitud cada uno, remover 50 millones de metros cúbicos de tierra y diseñar y colocar 16 compuertas flotantes de 35 metros de alto y 55 de largo ha supuesto, en conjunto, uno de los mayores desafíos que haya afrontado nunca una constructora en el mundo. El simbolismo de la infraestructura ha contribuido además a multiplicar exponencialmente la exigencia del proyecto.

La ampliación implosionó en 2013 con un cruce de reclamaciones entre las compañías del consorcio y las Autoridades del Canal por discrepancias en el diseño de las especificaciones técnicas del pliego de condiciones y en el coste que debían implicar esas variaciones. La obra estuvo a punto de descarrilar y obligó al Gobierno de Mariano a Rajoy a implicarse directamente en la búsqueda de un acuerdo que finalmente llegó y permitió avanzar en la ejecución. El pasado mes de junio, comenzó la inundación controlada de las cámaras de esclusas para iniciar las pruebas con las compuertas. La infraestructura será entregada el próximo mes de febrero al gestor y, dos meses después, será inaugurada. El reto ha sido mayúsculo pero las consecuencias de la ampliación lo serán aún más.

Servicio Mundial de la BBC

Soldados del ejército de Myanmar han admitido haber matado, torturado y violado a civiles en varias entrevistas exclusivas con la BBC. Por primera vez, han brindado testimonios detallados de los abusos contra los derechos humanos que, según dicen, se les ordenó cometer.

Advertencia: esta historia contiene descripciones de violencia sexual y tortura.

"Me ordenaron torturar, saquear y matar a personas inocentes". Maung Oo asegura que pensó que lo habían reclutado en el ejército como guardia. Sin embargo, formó parte de un batallón que mató a civiles que se habían escondido en un monasterio en mayo de 2022.

"Nos ordenaron reunir a todos los hombres y matarlos a tiros", dice. "Lo más triste fue tener que matar a ancianos y a una mujer".

El testimonio de seis soldados, entre ellos un cabo, y de algunas de sus víctimas, ofrece una extraordinaria perspectiva sobre un ejército desesperado por aferrarse al poder. Todos los nombres de los entrevistados en esta historia han sido cambiados para proteger sus identidades.

Los soldados, que desertaron recientemente, están bajo la protección de una unidad local de las Fuerzas de Defensa del Pueblo (FDP), una red de grupos de milicias civiles que luchan por restaurar la democracia.

Los militares arrebataron el poder al gobierno elegido democráticamente que lideraba Aung San Suu Kyi en un golpe de estado el año pasado. Ahora trata de aplastar el levantamiento civil armado.

El 20 de diciembre del año pasado, tres helicópteros sobrevolaron la aldea de Yae Myet en el centro de Myanmar, de los que saltaron soldados con órdenes de abrir fuego.

Al menos cinco personas diferentes, que fueron entrevistadas por separado, contaron a la BBC lo sucedido.

Aseguran que el ejército entró en el pueblo en tres grupos, disparando a hombres, mujeres y niños indiscriminadamente.

"La orden era disparar a todo lo que viéramos", dice el cabo Aung desde un lugar sin revelar de una parte remota de la jungla de Myanmar.

Según su testimonio, algunas personas se escondieron en lugares que pensaron eran seguros, pero cuando los soldados se acercaron, "comenzaron a correr y les disparamos".

El cabo Aung admite que su unidad disparó y enterró a cinco hombres. "También teníamos la orden de prender fuego a todas las casas grandes y decentes del pueblo", dice.

Los soldados desfilaron por el pueblo incendiando casas, al grito de: "¡Arde! ¡Arde!".

Él mismo prendió fuego a cuatro edificios. Los entrevistados dicen que unas 60 casas fueron quemadas, dejando gran parte del pueblo en cenizas.

Aldea de Yae Myet, región de Sagaing, Myanmar

La mayoría de los aldeanos habían huido, pero no todos. Una casa en el centro del pueblo todavía estaba habitada.

Thiha asegura que se había unido al ejército solo cinco meses antes de la redada. Como muchos otros, fue reclutado y no tenía formación. A estos reclutas se les conoce localmente como Anghar-Sit-Thar o " soldados contratados".

En ese momento le pagaban un salario decente de 200.000 khat de Myanmar (aproximadamente US$100) al mes. Recuerda con claridad lo que sucedió en esa casa.

Vio a una adolescente atrapada tras las rejas de una casa que estaban a punto de incendiar. "No puedo olvidar sus gritos, todavía puedo escucharlos en mis oídos y recordarlos en mi corazón", dice.

Cuando se lo dijo a su capitán, este respondió: "Te dije que mataras a todos los que veamos". Así que Thiha lanzó una bengala dentro de la casa.

El cabo Aung también estaba allí, y escuchó sus gritos mientras la quemaban viva. "Fue desgarrador escucharlo. La oímos durante unos 15 minutos mientras la casa estaba en llamas", recuerda.

La BBC rastreó a los familiares de la niña, y habló con ellos frente a los restos carbonizados de su casa.

Su pariente U Myint aseguró que la niña tenía un problema de salud mental y que la habían dejado en su casa mientras sus padres iban a trabajar. "Trató de escapar pero la detuvieron y dejaron que se quemara", dice.

No fue la única joven que sufrió a manos de estos soldados.

Thiha reconoce que se unió al ejército por dinero, pero que se sorprendió por lo que se vio obligado a hacer y las atrocidades que presenció.

Se refiere a un grupo de mujeres jóvenes que arrestaron en Yae Myet.

El oficial se las entregó a sus subordinados y les dijo: "Hagan lo que quieran", relata. Los soldados violaron a las chicas, aunque él asegura que no partició. La BBC localizó a dos de estas mujeres.

Pa Pa y Khin Htwe cuentan que se toparon con los soldados en el camino cuando trataban de huir. Las chicas no son de Yae Myet, sino que habían ido a ver a un sastre allí.

A pesar de insistir en que no eran combatientes de las FDP y que ni siquiera eran del pueblo, fueron encerradas en una escuela local durante tres noches. Cada noche, sus captores, borrachos, abusaron sexualmente de ellas una y otra vez, relatan. "Me vendaron los ojos con un pareo y me empujaron hacia abajo, me quitaron la ropa y me violaron", dice Pa Pa. " Grité mientras me violaban".

Rogó a los soldados para que pararan, pero le golpearon en la cabeza y la amenazaron a punta de pistola.

"Tuvimos que aguantarlo sin resistirnos porque teníamos miedo de que nos mataran", dice su hermana Khin Htwe, temblando mientras habla.

Estaban demasiado asustadas para ver bien a sus agresores, pero dicen que recuerdan haber visto a algunos vestidos de civil y otros con uniformes militares.

"Cuando capturaban a mujeres jóvenes", recuerda el soldado Thiha, " decían 'esto es porque apoyas a las FDP' mientras las violaban".

Al menos 10 personas murieron en el ataque a Yae Myet y ocho chicas fueron al parecer violadas durante un período de tres días.

Los brutales asesinatos en los que participó el soldado Maung Oo ocurrieron el 2 de mayo de 2022 en la aldea de Ohake pho, también en la región de Sagaing.

Su relato sobre lo que hicieron los miembros de su 33ª División (División de Infantería Ligera 33), que reunieron y dispararon a varias personas en un monasterio, coincide con testimonios de testigos y unos videos inquietantes que la BBC obtuvo inmediatamente después del ataque.

El video muestra nueve cadáveres alineados, incluidos los de una mujer y un hombre de cabello gris, acostados uno al lado del otro. Todos llevan pareos y camisetas. Las imágenes indican que les dispararon por la espalda y a quemarropa.

La BBC también habló con aldeanos que fueron testigos de esta atrocidad. Identificaron a la joven del video que estaba tumbada junto al anciano. Se llamaba Ma Moe Moe y llevaba en brazos a su hijo y una bolsa que contenía algunas piezas de oro. Rogó a los soldados que no se llevaran sus cosas.

"A pesar de que llevaba un niño, saquearon sus pertenencias y la mataron a tiros. También pusieron en fila (a los hombres) y les dispararon uno por uno", dice Hla Hla, que estaba en el lugar pero se salvó.

El niño sobrevivió y ahora está al cuidado de unos familiares.

Hla Hla asegura que escuchó a los soldados jactarse por teléfono de que habían matado a ocho o nueve personas, que era "delicioso" matar a gente y lo describieron como "su día más exitoso hasta el momento".

Según cuenta, salieron del pueblo cantando "¡Victoria! ¡Victoria!".

Le dispararon en la cabeza

Otra mujer vio cómo mataban a su marido. "Le dispararon en el muslo, luego le pidieron que se acostara boca abajo y le dispararon en la nalga. Finalmente le dispararon en la cabeza", dice.

La mujer insiste en que él no era miembro de las FDP. "Era un trabajador de la palma que se ganaba la vida de manera tradicional. Tengo un hijo y una hija y no sé cómo seguir viviendo".

Maung Oo reconoce que lamenta sus acciones y por eso quiere contarlo todo. "Quiero que todos lo sepan para que eviten caer en lo mismo", señala.

Los seis soldados que hablaron con la BBC admitieron haber quemado casas y aldeas en distintos puntos del centro del país. Esto sugiere que se trata de una táctica organizada para desbaratar cualquier apoyo a la resistencia.

Se produce mientras algunos dicen que el ejército está teniendo problemas para mantener los diferentes frentes de esta guerra civil.

Pueblo de Bin, región de Sagaing, Myanmar

Myanmar Witness, un grupo de investigadores que rastrea violaciones de derechos humanos, ha verificado más de 200 denuncias de pueblos que han sido incendiados de esta forma en los últimos 10 meses.

Aseguran que el número de estos incendios está aumentando rápidamente, con 40 ataques en enero y febrero, seguidos de al menos 66 en marzo y abril.

Pueblos incendiados por el ejército de Myanmar

Datos del 1 de septiembre de 2021 al 22 de junio de 2022

No es la primera vez que el ejército de Myanmar ha utilizado una política de tierra quemada. Se usó ampliamente contra los rohiny a en 2017 en el estado de Rakhine.

Las regiones étnicas montañosas del país han sufrido este tipo de ataques durante muchas décadas. Algunos de estos combatientes étnicos ahora están ayudando a entrenar y armar a las FDP en esta guerra contra los militares.

La cultura de la impunidad, en la que se ha permitido a los soldados saquear y matar a voluntad, tal como lo han descrito los soldados, existe desde hace décadas en Myanmar, aseguran desde Human Rights Watch.

Rara vez se responsabiliza a alguien por las atrocidades presuntamente cometidas por los militares.

Sin embargo, el ejército de Myanmar tiene que contratar cada vez a más soldados y milicias debido a las deserciones y a los asesinatos que llevan a cabo las FDP.

Unas 10.000 personas han desertado tanto del ejército como de la policía desde el golpe de Estado de 2021, según Abrazo del Pueblo, un grupo formado por exmilitares y policías.

"El ejército está teniendo problemas para mantener los diferentes frentes de esta guerra civil", asegura Michael Martin, del think tank Centro de Estudios Estratégicos e Internacionales.

"Están teniendo problemas de personal tanto en los rangos de oficiales como en los rangos de alistados, están teniendo muchas bajas, problemas con el reclutamiento, problemas para obtener equipos y suministros, y eso se refleja en el hecho de que parecen estar perdiendo territorio o su control en varias partes del país."

Las regiones de Magway y Sagaing (donde ocurrieron los incidentes anteriores) están entre los lugares históricos de reclutamiento para el ejército de Myanmar. Pero los jóvenes aquí eligen ahora unirse a las FDP.

El cabo Aung tiene claro por qué desertó: "Si pensara que los militares podrían ganar a largo plazo, no me habría cambiado de bando con el pueblo".

Dice que los soldados no se atreven a dejar sus bases solos por miedo a que las FDP los maten.

"Dondequiera que vayamos, solo podemos ir en forma de columna militar. N o se puede decir que est e mos dominando", dice.

La BBC presentó las acusaciones que se realizan en esta investigación al general Zaw Min Tun, portavoz del ejército de Myanmar. En un comunicado, negó que el ejército haya atacado a civiles y dijo que las dos redadas citadas aquí eran objetivos legítimos y que los muertos eran "terroristas".

Negó asimismo que el ejército haya estado quemando aldeas y asegura que son las FDP las que están llevando a cabo ataques incendiarios.

Es difícil saber cómo y cuándo terminará esta guerra civil, pero parece probable que millones de civiles de Myanmar queden traumatizados. Y cuanto más se tarde en encontrar la paz, más mujeres como Khin Htwe, víctima de una violación, serán vulnerables a la violencia.

Después de lo que le pasó, Khin Htwe asegura que no quería vivir, y consideró quitarse la vida. No ha podido cont á rselo a su prometido.

Los juegos como alternativa narrativa del periodismo resulta una buena técnica para atrapar la atención del público y engancharlos con la noticia, haciéndolos partícipes de la historia y generando un poco más de empatía, como es el caso de  "GAMEPLAY DEL DOCUGAME ESPAÑOL MONTELAB";  trasladándonos al contexto de 2007, donde miles de familias se ven atrapadas en pisos que se devalúan día a día, iniciando con un video introductorio aparece una frase en el corte que dice: “Juega a este docugame y vive la experiencia de ser propietario”.

RTVE ha puesto en marcha un proyecto muy interesante con base en la web: MonteLab, un espacio en la red de documentales nacido del Laboratorio de Innovación Audiovisual en colaboración con 'Documentos TV', uno de los programas más interesantes de la televisión plública española, que tiene joyas como esta. Ahora, lanzan una nueva propuesta que permite que los documentales dejen de ser algo estático para convertirse en algo dinámico donde el espectador es el protagonista. Y todo desde la web y el navegador.

'Lab' de RTVE es un departamento nacido en 2011 cuyo centro es la innovación audiovisual, y a través de nuevas narrativas y lenguajes intenta contar historias de forma diferente. Lo cierto es que esta propuesta de MonteLab y Casas Vacías es un ejemplo de lo que se puede hacer para dar alternativas al espectador a la hora de disfrutar de un programa de televisión por internet.

MonteLab nos permite ponernos en la piel de un afectado por la burbuja inmobiliariaEste 'docugame', que forma parte del programa 'Casas Vacías', permite al espectador experimentar a través de un juego interactivo el desplome del precio de la vivienda y la caída del mercado inmobiliario previa a la crisis económica más grande que ha vivido España en democracia. De esta forma, el espectador irá tomando decisiones que influirán en el desarrollo del 'docugame', decisiones que afectarán a su marcadores de calidad de vida y gastos, a la vez que conocerá afectados por los este boom inmobiliario que dejó a cientos de familias viviendo en urbanizaciones mastodónticas sin terminar a las afueras de las grandes ciudades de España.

Si queréis jugar a 'Casas Vacías', podéis hacerlo en este enlace, o ver los documentales parte del programa. El primero, 'Casas Vacías' ya está disponible para todos de forma gratuita -como no podía ser de otra forma- en la web de RTVE. Eso sí, para el siguiente episodio habrá que esperar hasta el día 8 de diciembre.
