EPA’s scientists say the Passaic River is polluted with eight chemicals that dozens

mercury, copper, and PAHs. EPA says the cleanup will cost $1.82 billion. Yet EPA

funds will go toward removing any of those chemicals, leaving taxpayers exposed.

firefights, roadblocks and tear
gas are part of the job description.
But he has never been more
frightened than in recent
months, as spiking violence be-
tween Palestinian militants and
Israeli soldiers has put medics in
the crosshairs like never before in
his career.
Attacks by Israeli soldiers on
Palestinian medics, and interfer-
ence with their access to the
wounded, have more than qua-
drupled in the first half of 2023,
according to Antar9s employer,
the Palestinian Red Crescent So-
ciety.
The Red Crescent said Israeli
soldiers have physically assaulted
medics, targeted their ambulanc-
es with live ammunition, rubber
bullets and tear-gas canisters,
and blocked crews from access-
ing the injured or getting them to
the hospital. The group said it
recorded 193 incidents through
June, up from 47 cases in the
same period last year, a jump of
over 300 percent and surpassing
the 2022 total.
<Now, before we respond to

hug and say goodbye,= said Antar,

Antar spoke to Washington
Post reporters from his hillside
ambulance base overlooking the
West Bank city of Nablus. Be-
tween emergency calls, he and his
teammates sat on couches shar-

of the Nablus medics being
shoved and hit by Israeli soldiers
during a demonstration in Octo-

bulance bursting into flames af-
ter a tear-gas canister was fired
into its front grill outside of Hu-
wara last month.
Imad Abu Jaish, a volunteer
physician, showed photos of a

From Colson Whitehead,

a crime novel with an epic sweep
BY G ABRIEL B UMP

L
ittle more than 100 pages into Colson
Whitehead9s remarkable new novel,
<Crook Manifesto,= a sequel to the best-
selling <Harlem Shuffle,= Herschel <Un-

ter and an inventor, offers two ways to define
creators, inventors, artists: <Those who identi-
fied deficiencies and provided remedies= and
<those who could see the invisible, discover what
was lacking, and will it into existence.=
With these books, Whitehead has identified
deficiencies in the noir genre, and injected beau-
ty and grace into its often too-predictable and
clichéd conventions. He saw an invisible post-
World War II Harlem epic, a decades-long jour-
ney through the most consequential urban
Black space in the 20th century, and he willed it
into existence through the exploits of Ray Car-
ney, a successful furniture salesman from a
lineage of ne9er-do-wells who struggles to bal-
ance respectability, family life and disreputable
allegiances. Whitehead has also again provided
a direct challenge to how readers and the pub-
lishing industry should think of genre fiction
compared with literary fiction, a salvo similar to
his sci-fi novel <Zone One= and his historical
fantasy <The Underground Railroad.=
On the surface, Whitehead9s two most recent
books are crime novels: fast, episodic, orga-
nized around different capers with a rotating
cast of memorable supporting characters, like
Uncle Heshie, who are quick to provide a laugh
or a piece of noir wisdom.
Whitehead has said he9s writing a trilogy.
Readers should hope he doesn9t stop there.
For all its slapstick fun, this project also has
the same gravitas as August Wilson9s seminal

8Properties of Thirst,9
by Marianne Wiggins (2022)
Nora Krug, editor

I was lucky enough this summer to have a

So, I asked my friend: What9s the best book
you have read this year? Without skipping a
beat, he answered: <Properties of Thirst,= by
Marianne Wiggins, which came out in paper-
back in May. Conveniently, this book was
already on my TBR pile. In fact, I had wanted
to write a feature about it because of its
amazing backstory. Wiggins was nearly fin-
ished writing the book when, in 2016, she
had a massive stroke. The Pulitzer finalist
(and ex-wife of Salman Rushdie), now 75, not
only lost the ability to write but forgot what
she had already written. She enlisted the
help of her daughter, Lara Porzak, to help her
complete the 517-page novel. In the after-
word, Lara describes the experience in poi-
gnant detail: Over the course of several
years, she read the book aloud to her mother

Tibany Haddish
wants it all
The comic says 8it would be
a disservice to my soul9 not
to seize every opportunity

BY G EOFF E DGERS In LoS AnGELES

T
he doctor9s office calls on Mon-
day. Tiffany Haddish, who is
about to hustle to a facial and
then a dinner at a friend9s
house, stands in her living
room next to the DIY beanbag chair she9s
been crafting. She tells the doctor9s nurse
that she had a miscarriage the previous
Wednesday. It slowed her down for a
couple of days, not that anybody noticed.
There was a party at Eddie Murphy9s
Saturday afternoon, an appointment
with a dryer repairman this morning,
and full tilt for the next 48 hours. She9s
got two voice-over sessions, an appear-
ance at a shelter for single mothers, a
star-studded fundraiser to plan for her
nonprofit organization, a network pitch
and a drop-in set at a comedy club.
<Well, I9m going to be honest with you,=
she tells the nurse, who is asking her
thoughtfully if she9s okay. <This would be
my eighth one. I9ve got a uterus shaped
like a heart. It just won9t keep anything
in.=
Haddish, 43, took parenting classes
last year so she could adopt, but she still
wavers on the potential of motherhood.
She thinks of her childhood: the abusive
adults, the foster homes. She thinks of
her current life: the schedule so bursting
with opportunities she doesn9t dare pass
up in a late-blooming career that she
worries any child of hers would do long
hours with a nanny. Maybe it would be
selfish to have a baby. Wouldn9t it help
more to take in a 5-year-old?
This hasn9t been an easy time for big
decisions, after a year that brought a
TMZ nightmare over a lurid, bizarre
lawsuit and the loss of her beloved
Grandma Alice. Haddish talks about the
miscarriage with one close friend but
keeps it from others, for now. <I don9t
want people saying: 8Are you okay? Are
you all right?'= she says. <Like a wounded
animal, I just rather go in a cave by
myself. Lick my wounds.=
And yet for Haddish, such a retreat is
barely a pause, perhaps a night or two at
most of lights out before 1 a.m. Just as she
learned to spin her darkest experiences
SEE HADDiSH on E8

Tiffany Haddish has a big-budget

Disney movie, a Broadway play and a
debut album on the way 4 as well as a

Exhibitions
plunge into
black and
white, past
and present
BY M ARK J ENKINS

The installation filling the

main gallery at IA&A at Hillyer
isn9t hazardous to visitors, but
its implications are toxic. Kelley
O9Brien9s <Residence Time= is an
array of multimedia features in
shades of black and white,
scored to droning, thudding
music. All the elements,
centered on a flickering video
projection, evoke some sort of
pollution; some explicitly refer
to water.
A small perfume bottle is
labeled with the exact subject of
the North Carolina artist9s
concern: 1,4-dioxane, a textile-
industry solvent, probably
carcinogenic, that has
contaminated drinking water in
CHRIS CombS
the Cape Fear River Basin. The
little container is an ironic
reference to the chemical9s
faintly sweet odor and the fact
Tom SlITeR
that the substance is sometimes
found in perfumes, cosmetics
and other personal care
products.
Aside from the text on that
bottle, O9Brien9s work is allusive
and indirect. Booms of the sort
used to contain hazmat spills on
lakes and rivers are coiled on the
floor, and two small pools of
water lap within frames that
shift slightly to elicit small
waves. Three sets of clear plastic
sheets, each nine layers deep,
contain black smudges that
combine to yield inky patterns
that appear to float in space as if
on water.
In the dimly lighted gallery,
the sound and imagery are
shadowy and seem appropriately
liquid and immersive. The
individual components are
simple but combine effectively
in the installation, which was
made with the assistance of
Marcus Braithwaite, Kevin
Vanek, Nick Rutz and Kathleen
Block. Its inspiration may be
specific to coastal North
Carolina, but <Residence Time=

Skiplagging: What to know about the (banned) hack ûiers embrace

doesn9t think gate agents at ma-
jor hubs are looking for skiplag-
ging.
<If I was getting on that flight
and someone accused me of not
intending to fly to New York, I9d
just say: 8Nope! Got <Hamilton=
tickets tomorrow night. Very ex-
cited. Go Mets!9=
And it9s not exactly a solid
business practice to preemptively
accuse your paying customers of
fraud. Representatives from both
Delta and United declined to
comment for this story; Delta
pointed to a link to the airline9s
Contract of Carriage, which ex-
pressly prohibits hidden-city tick-
eting. United, American and
Southwest also prohibit the prac-
tice in their contracts.
Should you skip skiplagging?
Despite airlines banning the
practice, some travelers are shirk-
ing the rules 4 and there are
resources dedicated to helping
them do it. Most notable is
Skiplagged.com, which helped
popularize the practice, and the
term itself, when the site
launched in 2013. (United Air-
lines and Orbitz unsuccessfully
tried to sue the site a year later.)
Be forewarned: On top of earn-
ing the ire of airlines, skiplag-
ging comes with its own spate
of logistical headaches. Chris
Dong, a Los Angeles-based travel
writer and points expert who
used to skiplag, says you especial-

A local9s look at
Glacier National Park

STORY AND PHOTOS BY T AILYR I RVINE

W
hen you grow up in Montana, it9s easy to take for granted the wilderness in your backyard. The Rocky Mountains that line
the Flathead Reservation, where I was born and raised, supplied endless access to trails, rivers, waterfalls and lakes. In ad-
dition to those mountains, driving a few hours to the south brought us to Yellowstone National Park, and driving a couple
of hours north landed us in Glacier National Park. ¶ Located on the traditional homelands of the Blackfeet, Kootenai, Sal-
ish and Qlispe tribes, Glacier offers an opportunity for everyone to connect with the land, learn the history and develop a nuanced un-
derstanding of our national parks while exploring one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. ¶ The park is generally separated
into two sections: the west and east entrances. Both sides offer unique experiences and easy access to more than 700 miles of hiking
trails. The entire eastern border and entrances are located on the Blackfeet Reservation, which gives you the opportunity to frequent
many tribally owned businesses. ¶ My childhood was filled with countless opportunities to camp and hike through some of the most
stunning landscapes in America. These experiences shaped who I am, and I9m grateful for my tribes, Salish and Kootenai, and others,
as well as agencies who fought for the land and guaranteed that we don9t forget the histories that connect us to it.

h o w t o g e t t he r e

There are seven entrances to Glacier National

Park, but the two I recommend are the West
Glacier Entrance on Highway 2 and the St. Mary
Entrance on Highway 89. Both entrances bring
you to the scenic Going-to-the-Sun Road.
There are several towns within 45 minutes
from the west entrance that offer hotels, camp-
ing and Airbnbs. These gateway towns are a
good option if you want to save money and
explore the local businesses as well as the park.
Lodging in the park can be expensive, and

SAMURAI SUDOKU (c) www.djape.net

How to Play

The rules of Samurai Sudoku are the same as in the popular

Sudoku puzzles that appear in the daily comics section.
As with standard Sudoku, the Samurai version requires no math,
just logic, reasoning ... and an iron will. The goal is to fill in each
column, row and 3X3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without
repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that
appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles.
A piece of advice to get you started: Don9t focus completely on
one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because
filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another. What9s
important to understand is this: Each Samurai puzzle is ONE puzzle,
not five separate Sudoku puzzles that just overlap each other.
Occasionally people claim that, for example, the "bottom right" 9X9
puzzle had more than one solution. Well, yes it may, but the entire
puzzle can be solved in only one way. Never resort to guessing! For
more tips, go to http://www.djape.net/sudoku/wp/?p=144.
