Stanford 12 allies pack court

Mish Int’l (650) 324-9110

CORRECTION: The July 11 police blotter misstated Timothy Hugh Wells, 62, interaction with the police. He was cited by Palo Alto police on July 4 for possession of fireworks, a misdemeanor.

ALCATRAZ VISIT: U.S. Attorney

General Pam Bondi and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum boated out to Alcatraz yesterday morning to get a private tour in service of President Trump’s idea to rebuild the shuttered prison there. The surprise visit was widely criticized by Bay Area political leaders. “The only person that needs to be locked up in Alcatraz is Trump,” said Rep. Kevin Mullin, D-San Mateo.

Pro-Palestinian Stanford students and their allies packed the Palo Alto Courthouse yesterday to support 12 protesters who were arrested for allegedly breaking into the Stanford president’s offices and spilling fake blood throughout the building — “a calculated plan of destruction,” according to prosecutors.

Supporters waited in a hall outside the courtroom for 45 minutes yesterday before attorneys came out and pulled defendants aside to discuss the case.

Inside the courtroom, the protesters agreed through their attorneys to return to court on Aug. 1 to plead guilty or innocent.

Probation officers evaluated three of the younger protesters to see if they could do a diversion program for young adults, which allows defendants to do community service rather than serve a criminal sentence.

Too many cars at new library

Atherton’s library is very popular, with visitors taking over surrounding residential parking, leading to new strict rules about who can park on the streets near the library.

Atherton City Council unanimously voted on Wednesday to pass the permit parking program for Ashfield Road and Maple Avenue following

the decrease of available spaces resulting from the popularity of the Atherton Library and Town Center.

Atherton’s library at 2 Dinkelspiel Station Lane has attracted many people since opening in 2022, Mayor Elizabeth Lewis said.

“People are just parking and jamming up the streets, sometimes residents can’t even get out of their driveways,” Lewis said.

The library can see over 100 children during programs like storytime, Lewis said. The library has attracted people who aren’t from Atherton, also causing a shortage of parking spots, Lewis said.

When the library opened, Lewis said she was hoping it would be a place where people would ride their bikes to and didn’t plan to build

City wants more businesses to open

East Palo Alto City Council is looking to bring businesses to town that residents want to shop at.

The city’s retail landscape was dealt a blow when Target at 1755 E. Bayshore Road closed its doors in Sep-

tember, leaving residents with one less grocery store and pharmacy.

Residents are now left with one pharmacy, Drew Center Pharmacy on University Avenue.

With Amazon and delivery services becoming more popular, and the city not having a Costco, Walmart or Tar-

get, a lot of residents shop outside the city, Councilman Webster Lincoln said during the meeting on Tuesday. Council discussed ways to support current businesses in town and find out what businesses residents would patronize. The city is expecting Mega Mart, a Korean

Who really sent that email?

Fresh basil pesto has come to define much of what Americans like best about Italian cooking. This simple blend of basil, garlic and olive oil, so easy to make, brings a bold depth of flavor to every dish it comes to. The miracle of a well-made pesto is its versatility.

Simply slathered on a crust of bread or spooned over a slice of fresh tomato, it can make you swoon with delight. Tossed with pasta or into a risotto, it is perfect. Forked into a hot baked potato or folded into a cheese omelet, pesto works wonders. I could go on.

The name Pesto is derived from the Italian verb ‘pestare’ meaning ‘to pound’ or ‘to crush’ and refers to anything that is pounded, typically in a mortar and pestle, to a puree. In a modern Italian household, it would not be unheard of to make pesto with a mortar and pestle, but it would not be the norm. If you’ve ever used a mortar and pestle, you’d know why. At Howies we use a bar blender to make pesto, making preparation quick and so easy.

We blanch our basil (and parsley). Blanching breaks down the enzymes in the basil leaves that promote oxidation and cause discoloration. All restaurants do this. Our recipe calls for pine nuts, a traditional ingredient in pesto. Pine nuts are oddly expensive these days and are often hard to find in retail shops. It’s okay to substitute raw, unsalted cashews. The pine nuts don’t contribute any flavor to the pesto, but rather they aid in emulsifying the sauce. Lastly, we freeze our pesto immediately after preparation in portion size containers and you should too. Pesto loses its vibrancy in only a matter of hours.

An expert in email technology has taken the stand to support allegations that Mountain View tutor Alice Ku’s husband killed her on trip to a national park in Taiwan.

Harald Herchen, 66, of Los Altos, received one email from Ku’s account after she disappeared on Nov. 29, 2019.

“Hello Handsome Harald! I got here ok. Since you will be out at your sister’s wedding on my birthday, can you please change my flight to one week later … Love, Alice,” the email said.

Herchen testified that he dropped Ku off at a train station so

Jury hears from Wi-Fi expert in tutor trial

she could visit her parents, and the email was extending her stay.

Herchen replied with a new flight time and said he would meet Ku in the airport lounge in Taiwain on Dec. 7, 2019.

She never stayed there

But Dr. Tal Lavian testified on Wednesday that Ku’s email was sent from a laptop connected to the Wi-Fi at Hotel Les Champs in the city of Hualien, where Herchen stayed alone that night.

Ku’s family is suing Herchen for wrongful death and false impersonation, alleging that he logged into Ku’s account and sent the email to himself to pretend that she was still alive.

Lavian, a researcher in internet technology for 40 years, was hired by Ku’s family at the end of 2020 to analyze data from thousands of Ku’s emails that were subpoenaed from Google.

“When you send an email, there’s all kinds of information behind it — basically the envelope that carries the email,” Lavian testified.

Or was it sent outside?

Herchen’s attorney Chuck Smith asked Lavian if he tested the Wi-Fi range at the hotel to see if the email could’ve been sent from outside the building.

Lavian said Wi-Fi can extend up to 300 feet, but the signal is

StarVista to stop operations Aug. 1

StarVista, which provides behavioral counseling in San Mateo County, announced yesterday that it will close on Aug. 1 due to “financial challenges.”

“This may be the first domino that falls for nonprofits,” San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa said. “They’re probably the largest providers of services, nonprofit-wise.”

Future

of programs

StarVista programs will be ending, but the Crisis Center and San Mateo County Pride Center will be moving to more affordable locations and remain open.

San Mateo County will be stepping in to cover most of the programs, like the housing placement and aftercare services, according to county spokeswoman Michelle Durand. Programs like the educational case management will not be active over the summer while the county looks for a new provider, Durand said.

Canepa said First Chance no longer providing services was the first sign of the downfall of nonprofits. He said this is an example of nonprofits being affected by federal or state funding cuts.

First Chance was a program that created an alternative to jail for people

arrested for driving under the influence. Now, anyone who is arrested gets taken to jail, Canepa said.

“Now we are putting soccer moms and others into the main jail at Redwood City. That’s scary,” Canepa said.

StarVista, based in Burlingame, works with various local governments throughout San Mateo County, including police agencies and school districts, to provide counseling, training and crisis intervention programs.

“The money is always tied to these nonprofits. They’re trying to deliver services on limited resources,” Canepa said.

Financial issues

In 2023, an audit found that StarVista’s clinical director, Clarise Blanchard, 77, had embezzled $700,000 over a 13year period, according to the District Attorney’s Office. She was arrested, made bail and her case is still pending with a preliminary hearing set for Sept. 4 in San Mateo County Superior Court.

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, StarVista has an operating deficit of $434,906 according to data it submitted to the IRS. It reported revenue that year of $16,273,133 – down from the $17,109,127 in the previous fiscal year.

Colleges discuss troubled complex

Local community colleges are getting involved in the Mountain View Whisman School District’s troubled apartment complex for school employees.

The board for the Foothill-DeAnza Community College District met in closed session on Tuesday night to discuss “price and terms of payment” at 699 N. Shoreline Boulevard, where the school district has built 144 apartments that opened in February.

Foothill-DeAnza spokeswoman Ellen Kamei, who is also Mountain View’s mayor, said the board took no reportable action but didn’t expand on what the discussion was about.

Mountain View Superintendent Jeff Baier hasn’t returned emails since Wednesday about whether his school district is enacting a “waterfall provision” that allows vacant units to go to other school districts, including Foothill-DeAnza. Baier also didn’t respond to questions about how many of the apartments have been filled.

Project history

The housing project was spearheaded by former Superintendent Ayinde Rudolph shortly after he was hired in June 2015. But Rudolph went against recommendations to use district-owned land and instead partnered with a private developer, Miramar Capital, that

was adding apartments on the neighboring property at 777 W. Middlefield Road.

The district spent $85 million on construction and signed a 55-year, $1.9 million ground lease that increased with inflation.

The ground lease was driving up rents, so the district has been negotiating with the owner to buy the land underneath the building.

Baier announced on July 10 that the district was buying 1.8 acres for $53.5 million, funded by a 2020 bond measure for school facilities and loans secured with district property as collateral.

The board voted the next day to authorize the purchase.

“If we were rewinding time five years, there’s certain things we wish had been done differently. But we deal with the situation we are in right now,” board member Lisa Henry said at the meeting.

Cupertino apartments

In an unrelated project, the Foothill-DeAnza Community College District has agreed to purchase a 94-unit apartment complex in Cupertino for $66.7 million.

The apartments will be reserved for students on a six-acre property at 7918 McClellan Road — walking distance from DeAnza College and six miles from Foothill College in Los Altos Hills.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on July 10, 2025, the Fire Chief of the City of Palo Alto filed with the City Clerk of said City a report and assessment on abatement of weeds within said city, a copy of which is posted on the bulletin board at the entrance to the City Hall.

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that on August 4, 2025, at the hour of 5:30 p.m. or as near thereafter as possible in the Council Chambers, City Hall, 250 Hamilton Avenue, Palo Alto, CA and via Zoom Virtual Teleconference (Site: https://zoom.us/join Meeting ID: 362 027 238 Phone: 1(669)900-6833), said report and assessment list will be presented to the City Council of said City for consideration and confirmation, and that any and all persons interested, having any objections to said report and assessment list, or to any matter or thing contained therein, may appear at said time and place and be heard.

A Palo Alto man has been arrested for allegedly throwing a cane and a walker at his uncle and a bicycle at his mom’s car, police said.

Officers were called to the family disturbance on July 2 on Starr King Circle in the Fairmeadow neighborhood, Lt. Dave Lee said.

Family members told police that Erik Sven Peterson, 54, had thrown multiple objects at his uncle in his 60s.

A cane struck Peterson’s uncle but didn’t injure him, and a walker missed but was damaged in the process, police

said. Peterson then threw a bike at his mom’s car and fled the scene, police said.

Arrest, court hearing

Officers found him at Mitchell Park on July 10 and arrested him for assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse and vandalism.

Peterson made his first appearance at the Palo Alto Courthouse on Monday and has been released from custody, court records show. His next court date is on Sept. 15.

DOJ seeks inmate data

The U.S. Department of Justice yesterday issued requests to sheriffs in some California counties, including San Francisco, to turn over lists of all inmates in their jails who are not citizens, along with their alleged crimes or convictions and release dates.

A DOJ announcement about the requests specifically mentions Los Angeles along with San Francisco.

Sheriff’s statement

San Francisco Sheriff Paul Miyamoto sharply responded to the DOJ’s

intentions, saying that his office would not participate in civil immigration enforcement.

“The federal government already knows the identity and has the fingerprints of every inmate in San Francisco’s jails,” said Miyamoto in a statement released by his office. “If the federal government has a legal reason to arrest someone, they can do so by obtaining a criminal warrant or court order.”

Miyamoto said the Sheriff’s Office will honor judicial warrants.

At Altos Bank, you’ll find a business-focused community bank that offers personalized, flexible white-glove service to each and every client. Founder and Board Chairman, Steven Chang, said Altos Bank aims to fill a void left by the collapse of both Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank in 2023. A local neurosurgeon and investor who manages venture capital and real estate investment funds, Chang saw firsthand what happened to customers of those banks when their accounts were transferred to a larger bank. In his case, he suddenly became an anonymous client of a much larger bank after previously enjoying a 25-year relationship with First Republic with service so personal the bank would occasionally come to the hospital to pick up his deposits when he was working late. “I went from having a personalized banker and great contacts to getting a different person every time I called,” he said. “It was a very eye-opening and disappointing experience.”

At Altos Bank, clients each have their own banker they can call directly. You never have to deal with an 800 number and a phone tree. Altos Bank serves customers both online at AltosBank.com and from its headquarters at 467 First St., 3rd Floor, in downtown Los Altos. For more information, feel free to call them at (650) 830-8089 or email RelationshipManagers@AltosBank.com.

Entertainment

‘Eddington’ might break your brain

You might need to lie down for a bit after “Eddington.” Preferably in a dark room with no screens and no talking. “Eddington,” Ari Aster’s latest nightmare vision, is sure to divide (along which lines, I can’t fathom) but there is one thing I think everyone will be able to agree on: It is an experience that will leave you asking “WHAT?” The movie opens on the aggravated ramblings of an unhoused man and doesn’t get much more coherent from there. Approach with caution.

We talk a lot about movies as an escape from the stresses of the world. “Eddington,” in which a small, fictional town in New Mexico becomes a microcosm of life in the misinformation age, and more specifically during the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests, is very much the opposite of that. It is an anti-escapist symphony of masking debates, conspiracy theories, YouTube prophets, TikTok trends and third-rail topics in which no side is spared.

The setup Joaquin Phoenix plays the town sheriff, a soft-spoken wife guy named Joe Cross, who we meet out in the desert one night watching YouTube

videos about how to convince your wife to have a baby. He’s interrupted by cops from the neighboring town, who demand he put on a mask since he’s technically crossed the border. It is May 2020, and everyone is a little on edge. Joe, frustrated by the hysterical commitment to mandates from nowhere, finds himself the unofficial spokesperson for the right to go unmasked. He pits himself against the slick local mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal), who is up for reelection, in the pocket of big tech and ready to exploit his single fatherhood for political gain. At home, Joe’s mother-in-law Dawn (Deirdre O’Connell) spends all day consuming internet conspiracy theories, while his wife Louise (a criminal-

ly underused Emma Stone) works on crafts and nurses unspoken traumas. Caricatures and stereotypes are everywhere in “Eddington,” but in this world it feels like the women are especially underwritten — they are kooks, victims, zealots and the ones who push fragile men to the brink. But in “Eddington,” all the conspiracies are real and ordinary people are all susceptible to the madness.

The good and the bad

The problem with an anarchic satire like “Eddington,” in theaters today, is that any criticism could easily be dismissed with a “that’s the point” counterargument. And yet there is very little to be learned in this silo of prov-

ocations that, like all Aster movies, escalates until the movie is over. There are moments of humor and wit, too, as well as expertly built tension and release. “Eddington” is not incompetently done or unwatchable; it just doesn’t feel a whole of anything other than a cinematic expression of broken brains.

Five years after we just went through (at least a lot of) this, “Eddington” somehow seems both too late and too soon, especially when it offers so little wisdom or insight beyond a vision of hopelessness.

It’s possible “Eddington” will age well. Perhaps it’s the kind of movie that future Gen Alpha cinephiles will point to as being ahead of its time, a work that was woefully misunderstood by head-in-the-sand critics who didn’t see that it was 2025’s answer to the prescient paranoia cinema of the 1970s. Not to sound like the studio boss in “Sullivan’s Travels,” trying to get the filmmaker with big issues on the mind to make a dumb comedy, but right now, “Eddington” feels like the last thing any of us need.

Release info

“Eddington,” an A24 release in theaters today, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for “strong violence, some grisly images, language and graphic nudity.” Running time: 148 minutes.

Colbert says CBS to ax ‘Late Show’

CBS is axing “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in May 2026, the host told an audience at a taping yesterday.

The statement came two days after Colbert spoke out against Paramount Global, parent company of his network CBS, settling with President Trump over a “60 Minutes” story.

“I am offended,” Colbert said in his monologue Monday night. “I don’t know if anything — anything — will repair my trust in this company. But, just taking a stab at it, I’d say $16 million would help.”

He said the technical name in legal circles for the deal was “big fat bribe.” Paramount and CBS executives said in a statement the cancellation “is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.”

Ratings leader

The most recent ratings from Nielsen show Colbert as winning his timeslot, with about 2.417 million viewers across 41 new episodes. It also said his late night show was the only one to gain viewers so far this year.

STORES –––––––

grocery store, to open where Target once was. The grocery store has a goal to open by September, but the date is uncertain, City Manager Melvin Gaines said.

Looking for jobs

HR&A, a consulting company that gives advice to cities on how to create more opportunities for businesses, conducted a study on East Palo Alto. Consultant Judith Taylor said the city has many spaces that could be set aside for retail, and will be conducting a study on what residents are shopping for outside the city. Taylor said this would also create more jobs.

East Palo Alto has many small businesses that employ less than 10 people and is looking to help them grow, Assistant City Manager Denise Garcia said in her report. By helping small businesses expand into larger spaces, they would be able to employ more people.

Council told Taylor to focus on small businesses and make sure to reach out to every community during her outreach.

Ideas on helping small businesses

Vice Mayor Mark Dinan said that if licenses for small businesses were a flat fee under $2,500, people would find it less daunting to be a business owner.

The cost of renewing a license varies depending on the type of business. Businesses that rent property pay a 2.5% tax based on their revenue, while others pay based on the amount they make annually.

Dinan also suggested creating more spaces for small businesses, such as having buildings provide the first floor for retail and the upper floors for housing.

Dinan said many small businesses in East Palo Alto that provide hair, nail and makeup services should also be a focus for consultants.

Outreach is important

Councilman Ruben Abrica asked for more community outreach to find what residents would mostly benefit from or feel is lacking in the city.

Planning Commissioner Michael Mashack said that a way for businesses to get more exposure would

be to block off a street for the day and allow them to set up booths.

HR&R will be conducting outreach to the community and returning to council with recommendations.

STANFORD ––––

said. German Rafael Gonzalez, 20, of Stanford, is ineligible because he didn’t get back to probation officers, Chiarello said.

Outside the building, about a dozen Santa Clara County sheriff’s deputies circled the parking lot and stood near the entrance.

They brought an inmate transport bus and a smaller inmate transport vehicle.

Retired San Jose resident Len Tsou said he came to the hearing because he was impressed with the students’ activism. Similar protests at colleges in the 1960s led to the end of the Vietnam war, Tsou said.

Student Feiya Lee said he’s been frustrated by Stanford’s “refusal to prioritize students.”

More upset about fake blood

Palestinian students have lost family members to the war in Gaza, yet Stanford administrators haven’t denounced Israel’s actions, Lee said.

“They’re so much more upset about the fake blood than the real blood,” Lee said.

The only protester who wasn’t at the hearing was Thomas Richardson, 19, of Menlo Park. His next court date is on July 29.

Deputy District Attorney Rob Baker is prosecuting the protesters, who are charged with felony burglary.

Stanford estimated the damage cost between $360,000 and $1 million, and the building was closed for two months, Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said at a press conference on April 10.

One Stanford employee had a photo of her deceased mother and kids destroyed by fake blood, Rosen said.

The day of

The protest started around 5:30 a.m. on June 5, 2024 — the last day of classes for Stanford’s spring quarter.

Anti-Israel messages were spray-painted on the inside and outside of the building, photos show. Police

broke into the office at about 7:15 a.m. and arrested the protesters.

Students who participated in the protest were immediately suspended, and any seniors weren’t allowed to graduate, the university said at the time.

In response, Stanford also took down a student encampment of Palestinian supporters.

‘Highly organized’

The protesters were “highly organized” and followed a “do-it-yourself occupation guide,” Rosen said. They brought food, a ladder, plywood, crowbars, hammers and other tools for breaking in, Rosen said.

The protesters used encrypted messaging apps like Signal to plan the occupation days in advance, and then deleted the apps as police entered the building, Rosen said.

Investigator Ben Holt was able to get around the encryption to see how protesters planned their movements, organized look-outs and scouted the location days in advance.

Once inside, protesters covered interior surveillance cameras and barricaded doors using ladders and furniture, Holt said.

Protesters wore masks and multiple layers of clothing so they could change and avoid detection, Holt said.

“Dissent is American. Vandalism is criminal,” Rosen said in a statement announcing the charges. “There is a bright line between making a point and committing a crime. These defendants crossed the line into criminality when they broke into these offices, barricaded themselves inside and started a calculated plan of destruction.”

The protesters

Those arrested were Eliana Lindsay Fuchs, 24, of San Mateo; Isabella Terrazas, 22, of Houston; Hunter Armstrong Taylor-Black, 24, of Chestnut Hill, Pa.; Taylor Oh McCann, 32, of Oakland; Gretchen Rose Guimarin, 22, of Rancho Cordova; John Thomas Richardson, 19, of Menlo Park; Kaiden Wang, 22, of Elk Grove; German Rafael Gonzalez, 20, of Stanford; Cameron Michael Pennington, 22, of Stanford; Zoe Georgia Edelman, 23, of Washington, D.C.; Maya Nell Murungi Burke, 28, of Frankfort, Ky.; and Amy Jing Zhai, 20, of Thousand Oaks.

LIBRARY ––––––

a giant parking lot. The program will affect Maple Avenue between Station Lane and El Camino Real and Ashfield Road between the Town Center and El Camino Real. Residents will get four permits for free. Residents can also get temporary guest permits.

Parking in the neighborhood will be enforced from Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. by Atherton police.

Workers get a pass

Cars that provide services like gardening, pool cleaning and delivery services will not be ticketed. There will be a “residential parking only” sign on each street where permits will be enforced.

On Aug. 17, cars without permits will receive a parking citation fee of $41.

Vice Mayor Stacy Holland brought up a concern for nannies and how they may be at risk of receiving a ticket because their cars aren’t labeled.

Police Chief Steve McCulley said residents could give them a guest pass, and if they were to receive a ticket, they could fight it.

Parking recommendations

Lewis said that with the restrictions, she recommends parking at Holbrook-Palmer Park. She said council will be looking at repainting the parking lot at the former Caltrain station at Dinkelspiel Station Lane to make the spaces tighter.

A parking survey has been recently conducted to find more spots for a potential parking lot, according to Lewis.

Lewis said there isn’t a lot of land where Atherton can create more parking spaces, but council will be revisiting the topic in a future meeting.

EMAIL –––––––

degraded by walls or weather. He said he didn’t need to test the Wi-Fi to reach his conclusions.

“It’s simply irrelevant,” Lavian said.

Smith has suggested the email was sent by Ku from a cafe or a park near the hotel, and then she ran off with their younger and better-looking tour guide. Smith hired an investigator in February to test the hotel Wi-Fi’s range.

Smith filed a motion on Monday arguing that Ku’s family can’t sue Herchen for impersonating her, only Ku can.

Judge Beth McGowen will consider the motion today.

Taiwanese detective testifies

Li Tsong Su, a detective for Taiwan’s National Police Agency, testified that cell phone data showed Herchen and Ku’s phones going straight from Taroko National Park to the hotel on the day Ku disappeared.

Pictures of their rental car leaving the park and going through intersections also showed a route straight back to the hotel, Su said on Wednesday.

Detectives tried to enhance the pictures to see who was in the car but were unsuccessful, Su said.

Surveillance videos from the train station were deleted after one month, so detectives couldn’t see if Ku actually went there, Su said.

Detectives didn’t find any evidence that Ku and Herchen had a tour guide, Su said.

Critical of detective work

Smith’s questions for Su were critical of detectives for only interviewing five people, and nobody who worked at the hotel.

Search teams looked for Ku in Taroko National Park for a week, with 20 to 30 people and dogs involved each day, Su said.

The search focused on areas with past accidents, but without a specific location, it’s nearly impossible to find someone amongst the massive mountains, gorges and valleys, Su said.

The trail continues today at the Old County Courthouse in San Jose. The Ku family is seeking money from Herchen, and a jury of 12 will decide their fate.

ICE GETS DATA: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials will gain access to the home addresses, Social Security numbers, birth dates and ethnicities of all of the nation’s 79 million Medicaid enrollees, according to an agreement between the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Homeland Security.

TRUMP’S VEINS: The White House says President Trump had a recent medical checkup after he noticed “mild swelling” in his lower legs, and tests showed that Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said yesterday. It’s a relatively common condition in

older adults that occurs when little valves inside the veins that normally help move blood against gravity gradually lose the ability to work properly.

JUUL WIN: Federal health officials will allow Juul to keep selling its electronic cigarettes. The Food and Drug Administration said yesterday that Juul’s benefits as a less harmful alternative for adult smokers outweigh the risks of teen use.

PBS, NPR CUTS: The House is expected to approve President Trump’s request to claw back about $9 billion for public broadcasting and foreign aid.
