Trump Gives Up a Lie But Refuses to Repent

C M Y K Nxxx,2016-09-17,A,001,Bs-4C,E2 On Nov. 8, American voters for the first time in history will see a woman’s name on the ballot as a major party’s nominee for presi- dent. A broad majority of voters — men and women — say they are happy this milestone has been reached, but fully half of them say they would have preferred that that first woman not be Hillary Clinton, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll. The poll looked closely at women’s political views and broader outlook on American life, as well as how the wider society views the role of women. The sur- vey found that women think more progress has been made toward ending sexism than racism in soci- ety. They value motherhood more than marriage. They think that sexual harassment is a significant issue in the workplace. And they think the greatest problem facing American women is inequality in pay and career opportunities. Mrs. Clinton is supported by 52 percent of women likely to vote in November, while 39 percent back Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump’s problems with women are significant: 55 percent of female respondents say he does not respect women and about half think a Trump presidency would be bad for women. Only 11 percent think electing him would be good for women, while 45 percent of women say Mrs. Clinton’s election would benefit them. Mrs. Clinton’s nomination has done little to reverse women’s per- ceptions of gender discrimination in America, and in many cases, Spot on Ballot Is No Cure-All, Women Say in Poll By MARY JO MURPHY and MEGAN THEE-BRENAN Continued on Page A11 U(D54G1D)y+%!:!.!=!] LEGISLATION DIES A criminal-justice overhaul bill seemed ready for bipartisan approval. The election got in the way. PAGE A8 It was not true in 2011, when Donald J. Trump mischievously began to question President Obama’s birthplace aloud in television interviews. “I’m start- ing to think that he was not born here,” he said at the time. It was not true in 2012, when he took to Twitter to declare that “an ‘extremely credible source’” had called his office to inform him that Mr. Obama’s birth cer- tificate was “a fraud.” It was not true in 2014, when Mr. Trump invited hackers to “please hack Obama’s college records (destroyed?) and check ‘place of birth.’” It was never true, any of it. Mr. Obama’s citizenship was never in question. No credible evidence ever suggested otherwise. Yet it took Mr. Trump five years of dodging, winking and joking to surrender to reality, finally, on Friday, after a remark- able campaign of relentless de- ception that tried to undermine the legitimacy of the nation’s first black president. In fact, it took Mr. Trump much longer than that: Mr. Obama released his short-form birth certificate from the Hawaii De- partment of Health in 2008. Most of the world moved on. But not Mr. Trump. He nurtured the conspiracy like a poisonous flower, watering and feeding it with an ardor that still baffles and embarrasses many around him. Mr. Trump called up like- minded sowers of the same cor- rosive rumor, asking them for advice on how to take a false- hood and make it mainstream in 2011, as he weighed his own run for the White House. “What can we do to get to the bottom of this?” Mr. Trump asked Joseph Farah, an author who has long labored on the fringes of political life. “What can we do to turn the tide?” What he could do — and what he did do — was talk about it, uninhibitedly, on social media, where dark rumors flourish in 140-character bursts and, inevita- bly, find a home with those who have no need for facts and whose suspicions can never be allayed. And he mused about it on television, where bright lights and sparse editing ensure that millions can hear falsehoods unchallenged by fact-checking. “Why doesn’t he show his birth Trump Gives Up a Lie But Refuses to Repent No Apology After 5 Years of Nurturing ‘Birther’ Issue to Undermine Obama NEWS ANALYSIS By MICHAEL BARBARO Mr. Obama released his long- form birth certificate in 2011.

DAMON WINTER/THE NEW YORK TIMES The message to the dozens of Wells Fargo workers gathered for a two-day ethics workshop in San Diego in mid-2014 was loud and clear: Do not create fake bank ac- counts in the name of unsuspect- ing clients. Similar warnings were being relayed from corporate headquar- ters in San Francisco to regional bankers in Texas, as senior man- agement learned that some Wells employees had been trying to meet exacting sales goals by cre- ating sham bank accounts and credit cards instead of making le- gitimate sales. Across the vast retail bank, more “risk professionals” were deployed in efforts to stamp out the illegal activity. But the bank’s efforts were not enough. Three years after the first false accounts were exposed pub- licly and the authorities began in- vestigating, Wells, one of the na- tion’s largest banks, said it was still firing employees over the questionable accounts well into this year. Some former employees say the explanation is simple: Wells has continued to push the sales goals that caused employees to break the rules in the first place. In fact, the goals at the center of a $185 million civil settlement and inves- tigations by prosecutors in three states are not set to be phased out for another three months. “They warned us about this type of behavior and said, ‘You must report it,’ but the reality was that people had to meet their goals,” said Khalid Taha, a former Wells Fargo personal banker who resigned in July. “They needed a Warned About Excesses, Then Prodded to Sell By MICHAEL CORKERY and STACY COWLEY Continued on Page B3 Bending the Rules at Wells Fargo Just to Get ‘a Paycheck’ DAKAR, Senegal — The YouTube video shows a grim scene from Ivory Coast: An un- armed man lies on a street with his arms up. A police officer fires a shot that appears to strike him. The man, a theft suspect, squirms on the road as the officer kicks and hovers over him, firing his weapon several times near his head, bullets hitting the ground just inches away. The officer then aims directly at the man’s fore- head and pulls the trigger, killing him. The video, recorded by an on- looker using a cellphone camera, spread widely across social media this summer, attracting com- ments like “What is this horror.” “Isn’t this what’s happening in the USA right now?” one viewer wrote. “We’re killing innocent people.” Inspired by the videos that have captured police killings and de- fined the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States, West Africans are increasingly deploying social media in nations where corruption and abuse by security forces sometimes occur with few repercussions. In America, videos of white po- lice officers shooting unarmed black men have caused a social uprising, exposing what many people see as a deadly national bias in law enforcement.

He was 88. His personal assistant, Jakob Holder, confirmed the death. Mr. Holder said he had died after a short illness. Mr. Albee’s career began after the death of Eugene O’Neill and after Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams had produced most of their best-known plays. From them he inherited the torch of American drama, carrying it through the era of Tony Kushner and “Angels in America;” August Wilson and his Pittsburgh cycle; and into the 21st century. He introduced himself suddenly and with a bang, in 1959, when his first produced play, “The Zoo Story,” opened in Berlin on a dou- ble bill with Samuel Beckett’s “Krapp’s Last Tape.” A two- handed one-act that unfolds in real time, “The Zoo Story” zeroed in on the existential terror at the heart of Eisenhower-era compla- cency, presenting the increasingly menacing intrusion of a probing, querying stranger on a man read- ing on a Central Park bench. When the play came to the Provincetown Playhouse in Greenwich Village the next year, it helped propel the blossoming the- ater movement that became known as Off Broadway. In 1962, Mr. Albee’s Broadway debut, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” the famously scabrous portrait of a withered marriage, won a Tony Award for best play, ran for more than a year and half and enthralled and shocked theatergoers with its depiction of stifling academia and of a couple whose relationship has been cor- roded by dashed hopes, wounding recriminations and drink. The 1966 film adaptation, di- rected by Mike Nichols and star- ring Richard Burton and Eliza- beth Taylor, turned the play into Mr. Albee’s most famous work; it had, he wrote three decades later, “hung about my neck like a shin- ing medal of some sort — really nice but a trifle onerous.” But it stands as representative, too, an early example of the heightened naturalism he often ventured into, an expression of the viewpoint that self-interest is a universal, urgent, irresistible The Trenchant Playwright of a Desperate Era By BRUCE WEBER Edward Albee at his home in 1991. “All of my plays are about people missing the boat, closing down too young,” he said.

Trump once again raised the specter of vi- olence against Hillary Clinton, suggesting Friday that the Secret Service agents who guard her vol- untarily disarm to “see what hap- pens to her” without their protec- tion. “I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons,” Mr. Trump said at a rally in Miami, to loud applause. “I think they should disarm. Immediately.” He went on: “Let’s see what happens to her. Take their guns away, O.K. It’ll be very danger- ous.” In justifying his remarks, Mr. Trump falsely claimed that Mrs. Clinton wants to “destroy your Second Amendment,” apparently a reference to her gun control poli- cies. Presidential nominees are pro- tected at all times by heavily armed teams of Secret Service agents, some uniformed and some undercover, who are devoted to the candidates’ physical safety. Mr. Trump’s comments were a provocative echo of widely con- demned remarks he made in early August at a campaign rally in Wilmington, N.C. There, he airily suggested that gun rights supporters should rise up against Mrs. Clinton if she were elected to stop her from appointing judges who might favor stricter gun reg- ulation. “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added, “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.” Those remarks were widely in- terpreted as an invitation for gun- ‘See What Happens’ to Clinton If Guards Disarm, Trump Says This article is by Nick Corasaniti, Nicholas Confessore and Michael Barbaro.
