A United View of the World Welcome Aboard

A Message From Oscar Munoz Though we’ve all become used to its routines, still, it’s hard not to be a little romantic about air travel.

Even now, I sometimes catch myself gazing out the window during a long flight. It offers an incredible view, as well as a sense of perspective.

In a single flight we cross vast oceans that for much of human history marked the edges of the known world and isolated cultures from one another. We peer down upon mountain peaks that once formed the final horizon for earlier generations and limited their progress. We pass over once uncrossable boundaries without even noticing them, but which for centuries drew false lines of animosity and distrust between tribes and nations, races and religions, creeds and colors, “us” and “them.”

Even as we strive to make your flight as convenient and comfortable as possible, it is always worth considering, if only for a moment, the enormous effort and supreme sacrifices that it took for past generations to cross the vast geographical and cultural frontiers that we now trace during a routine flight, and too often take for granted.

That is why United designates each October as our “Diversity Awareness Month,” a culmination of a yearround effort to honor past pioneers of inclusion and to empower our employees, customers, and communities to make further progress.

We realize that our mission is not just to connect places, but people. We view our product not merely as a commodity we provide, but a calling we fulfill to help create and maintain a more open, connected, and tolerant world.

Whether we are flying to Barcelona, Beijing, or Buenos Aires, and everywhere in between, in order to answer that calling fully, our employees must represent the extraordinary diversity of the communities we connect and the customers we serve.

We believe that no matter your belief or background, your origin or orientation, the only bar to entry into the United family is a commitment to excellence and a dedication to

12

the values of openness, tolerance, and inclusion that are at the heart of our business.

We hold fast to these values because they are right, and because we believe they elevate the value of the service we provide, which is to bring people together and unlock the creative potential of a more diverse global community. By doubling down on our commitment to promoting diversity and widening the circle of opportunity for all who wish to make their careers with us, we have grown our competitive edge. We’ve done so precisely because of our diversity and the unique capacity it provides us to leverage creativity and innovation around the world.

Reaffirming this commitment has never been more important than today. At the very moment when these values are needed more than ever, they seem to be under attack around the world as never before. We hear the rise of voices calling for greater division, rather than greater diversity. We see nations retreat from the world stage and cultures from one another.

As a company of more than 86,000 employees that operates around the world, we are determined to live up to our aspiration of connecting the world and facilitating the countless cultural exchanges between individuals, businesses, and communities that drive positive change. And, wherever we fly, the diversity of our workforce that’s at the heart of what I call the new spirit of United will make a positive impact on the communities we connect around the globe.

The next time you gaze out the window during a long flight with us, I hope you recognize the pride we feel in helping bring the world closer together. That is why we fly, and it’s the definition of the Friendly Skies.

Oscar Munoz CEO, United Airlines

¡Hola, Havana!

Karen Loess helps United and its customers get to new places, including Cuba s one of United’s station transformation project managers, Karen Loess has had a hand in some historic openings: Moscow; Accra, Ghana; Hangzhou, China; and Lagos, Nigeria, to name a few. And since United received tentative government approval this summer to serve Cuba from Houston and New York/Newark, she has been heavily involved in opening the airline’s newest destination for this winter, Havana.

Loess began her career at United in 1983, following in the footsteps of her mother, who also worked for the company. After serving in a variety of roles, including customer service and as the general manager of the Indianapolis station, she returned home to Chicago to work at United’s headquarters as part of the new station start-up division.

“Each new destination poses its own set of hurdles,” Loess says. “Moscow was the first opening that I worked on, and I remember that we had to take photos of every single piece of equipment and all of our materials to submit before we were able to move it into the country. It took months to compile, but it was a good learning experience.”

Over the years, Loess has become adept at figuring out how to navigate government regulations and local customs to move things forward. “China is a good example of that,” she says. “Each region of the country has its own unique

A

by m at t a da m s

rules governing business licenses, importing and exporting, and so on. Opening Hangzhou was much different than opening Xi’an, but that’s what makes the job fun.”

Generally, once a new destination is confirmed, Loess can mobilize within a couple of weeks to get employees in-country to begin working with officials. A new international station start-up takes, on average, around six months from beginning to end, and Loess’s team stays on the ground through the first three f lights in and out of the new location so that they can monitor everything firsthand. Cuba, however, was different; Loess and the start-up team had to follow a more structured process to schedule meetings with Cuban civil aviation officials and to secure visas, which was made all the more difficult because all U.S. carriers granted approval to serve Cuba were competing to do the same. The team also wasn’t allowed to travel to Cuba until after the route approvals were announced, meaning it had a smaller than normal time window in which to ready United’s operation at José Martí International Airport.

With the July announcement that United would tentatively receive the Havana routes, Loess’s first order of business was to begin implementing carefully crafted plans to coordinate with local ground handlers to sort out airport operations protocols, work scope, and security logistics. From there, her team expedited getting to Cuba all of the items that an airline needs to function, from IT equipment to catering supplies. In accordance with Cuban law, U.S.-based companies cannot directly hire employees there, so to staff the Havana station Loess and her team partnered with a local Cuban firm to recruit and vet candidates on United’s behalf.

In the end, Loess and her colleagues, including more than 100 stakeholders within United, pulled off something that travelers in the U.S. have dreamed about for more than 50 years: They helped make Havana accessible to United’s customers.

“When we received the news that we would begin serving Havana later this year, I was thrilled,” Loess says.

“It was not only a monumental event in our company’s history but a proud moment for all of us to be part of history. We’ve worked—and continue to work—with our new partners in Cuba to deliver a safe and reliable operation for our customers.”

The reopening of Cuba is just one example of how, for 33 years, Loess has had a front row seat to the everchanging world of global travel. “I’m always surprised by the places we open up,” she says. “I’ve never guessed a new route yet. It will be interesting to see where we’re going next.”

United plans to launch service to Havana on November 29, 2016, pending government approval.

Championship Flying United carries America’s teams to victory osing the 2014 World Series in dramatic fashion was tough for the Kansas City Royals, the team’s fans, and the United employees who helped ensure the team arrived comfortably for each of its games throughout the season. So when the Royals bounced back to win the 2015 World Series, it was a major point of pride for not only Kansas City but also United.

“The Royals are amazing to work with, so it was disappointing to see them lose,” says Dawn Segler, a United flight attendant who works

on the Royals’ charters. “But when they came back the next year and won it all, it was something words could never describe.”

October means playoff baseball is here again, along with the college and NFL football seasons. United has a reputation for running a smooth charter operation, and the airline is proud to fly more than 50 MLB, NFL, and NCAA teams, including the Royals and the Super Bowl 50 champions, the Denver Broncos. The airline even put the Broncos’ logo and orange lettering on the plane used to transport the team to the Super Bowl, in tribute to the team’s “United in Orange” slogan.

“Many United employees care about sports, and being able to say you’ve played a role in helping your favorite team get from city to city can be a point of pride,” says United’s managing director of charters, Kevin

of a long flight like Los Angeles to Shanghai. All U.S. airlines are required by federal regulations to provide the pilots plenty of rest in the days preceding a commercial flight where they are the acting pilot. The longer the scheduled flight time, the longer the period of inactivity in the days and hours preceding that commercial flight.

These regulations ensure the pilots are rested and ready for a long flight.

Additional regulations require that flights longer than eight hours will have one additional pilot to share the duties. For extra-long flights (more than 13 hours), there will be two additional pilots. The additional pilots allow for each pilot to rest in the designated crew rest facility. On the

Boeing 787 aircraft United uses for your flight to Shanghai, the pilots can relax in a state-of-the-art facility that was designed to improve their ability to rest. Those specifically designed features allow them to be safe and alert when it is their turn to fly the aircraft.

Over the course of their careers, pilots also have learned what they personally need to do to be fresh and alert upon arrival at the end of a long flight. These modifications could be to our diet, our exercise routine, or our sleep schedule, depending on the flight we are scheduled to operate.

All the World’s a Page Photographer Steve McCurry’s new book pays tribute to the power of the written word It’s a moment that’s familiar to every bookworm: You’re on a bus or a train or even on foot, headed somewhere, reading as you go, and you find yourself in the middle of a passage or chapter or verse so gripping that you have to stop what you’re doing and finish it right then and there. In his new book, On Reading, photographer Steve McCurry (best known for his 1985 National Geographic cover of a green-eyed Afghan girl) captures in evocative fashion how words on the page can study hall

enthrall us—no matter where we are. McCurry’s readers appear all over the world, in environments both surprising and not: a boy leaning against an affectionate elephant in Thailand (pictured), a woman perched halfway up a ladder in a historic Brazilian library, a Serbian workman perusing a newspaper while a fire rages behind him. As famed travel writer Paul Theroux says in the introduction to On Reading, “The great books cast a spell, admitting the reader to a world sometimes exemplary.” —JUSTIN GOLDMAN (OCT. 3)

Analog Retentive Retro gadgets take digital media consumption back to the tactile The defining characteristic of millennials is surely their relationship with the digital world. But even kids who’ve grown up consuming their media online like to have a record or a photo they can actually hold on to. A few new gadgets on the market are aiming to tap into that analog desire.

Record-subscription service Vnyl has created the TRNTBL, which the company claims is the first Internet-of-Things record player. When you place a regular vinyl disc on the TRNTBL, a Shazamlike feature identifies tracks and tells followers what you’re listening to.

“For the generation who grew up with Napster, physical music is new and exciting,” says Vnyl founder Nick Alt. “Now they can create connections and community around vinyl discoveries.”

It’s not just music streaming that’s going tactile. Another company, the Impossible Project, is returning photo sharing to the id with a retro-looking realm of the Polaroid era (pictured).

Inn Vogue A Connecticut chef brings modern gastronomy to a Gilded Age setting Apart from its white clam pizza, Connecticut has never been known as much of a foodie destination.

That all changed this May with the opening of Mystic’s Spicer Mansion, a luxe eight-room inn housed in a restored 1853 sea captain’s estate. The centerpiece of the Gilded Age–inspired makeover is the inn’s dining room, where hotel (and invited) guests can indulge in a six-course farm-to-table tasting menu by chef Jennifer Backman, who cut her teeth at Rhode Island’s Weekapaug Inn and Ocean House.

To fit with the property’s 19th-century aesthetic (pineapple-shaped light fixtures, a grand mahogany staircase), Backman harks back to a golden era of fine dining, with touches that are often ignored these days: tableside preparations, Italian hemstitch linens, Baccarat crystal, pre-dinner bites in the anteroom. “Having our guests join in the salons for a pre-dinner cocktail and canapé is, to me, a lost art of hospitality that I think is truly unique to their experience with us,” Backman says.

“Dinner is meant to be an indulgent experience, something that isn’t rushed through but savored to the last bite.”

While the environment may feel like a dinner party at Jay Gatsby’s house, the cuisine is anything but stuck in the past. Backman lists Eleven Madison Park’s Daniel Humm and the French Laundry’s Thomas Keller as inspirations, and you can see their influence in ingredient-driven dishes like foie gras with grilled and poached peaches, blueberries, cacao nibs, and cornmeal madeleines; or corn “chowdah,” with smoked scallop, Stonington red shrimp, green chili, and bacon nuage. “I get excited every time a new ingredient comes into season,” she says. “It’s a chance for us to expand and grow, every day, season to season.” —NICHOLAS DERENZO hospitality

The Rebirth of the Cool A legendary Paris jazz club gets a modern facelift

COURTESY OF SOHO HOUSE (CAFÉ MONICO)

music history From the wide boulevard of the Champs-Élysées to the narrow alleys of the 10th arrondissement, the music that most tourists and moviegoers associate with the streets of Paris is the reedy wheeze of accordion waltzes. But, in truth, jazz is the closest thing the City of Light has to a soundtrack.

And at Le Méridien Etoile, a 17th arrondissement hotel that opened in 1972 as a dormitory for jet-lagged airline employees, jazz stoked the nightly passions of barflies and denizens of the cool for going on four decades. The hotel’s Lionel Hampton Jazz Club (named in honor of the American vibraphonist) regularly drew legends such as B.B. King and Dizzy Gillespie.

As part of Le Méridien’s $300 million renovation and new construction plans, the renamed Jazz Club Etoile underwent a modernist makeover, with mid-century seating, secluded corner booths, and a 270-degree stage for outstanding sightlines. Jazz Club Etoile hopes to preserve Paris’s imported heritage with its world-renowned café cool, and it very nearly accomplishes this. There’s only one thing missing: When the lights dim, smoke no longer lingers above the stage; it’s outside, in a specially marked area.

Another ’80s Reboot?

Restaurant designers resurrect the classic (and questionable) aesthetics of the yuppie era Ghostbusters isn’t the only 1980s classic that’s gotten an update this year. Though the decade isn’t often remembered as a high-point in design, ’80s aesthetics are cropping up in a number of trendy new restaurants. One of the most popular iterations is the muchderided “fern bar,” a style of homey tavern (like Cheers or T.G.I. Friday’s) that emerged in San Francisco in the late 1970s and ’80s to serve a yuppie clientele.

Take, for example, London’s Café Monico (pictured), an extravaganza of brass sconces and frilly-shaded lamps that was recently opened by Rowley Leigh, whose Kensington Place was a favorite of Princess Di’s.

Or there’s nearby Hoppers, where the food may be Sri Lankan and South Indian, but the decor is a tribute to many long-mothballed ’80s restaurant staples, such as wood paneling, tile tabletops, Cesca chrome-and-rattan chairs, and hanging baskets. design

“We wanted an inviting, eclectic environment,” says Katy Manolescue, whose Article Design Studio was responsible for the anti-hipster look of Hoppers. “I think people are sick of stark, sparse spaces and design for design’s sake.”

A similar approach informed the decor at Oleanders, the fashionable restaurant at Brooklyn’s McCarren Hotel, which has gone all in on the fern-bar aesthetic with Tiffany chandeliers and the namesake vegetation, plus a menu that includes lobster Thermidor and crab Louie.

According to Ted Berner, co-founder of the Los Angeles design studio Powerstrip, these restaurants augur a swing toward “homeliness,” partly as a riposte to all the faux artisanal fixtures and repurposed tableware of recent years. “Hipsters don’t have too much humor,” Berner says. “People have remembered that they want color, they want more fun, they want to relax.” —BF

MichaelAnthony’s FourPoint Shopping Plan

I love Tip Toe Shoe Repair for their classic Detroit-style hats, like oversize fedoras or newsboy caps, which we call apple hats because they’re a little bigger.

Many boutiques don’t gear toward big sizes, so I find a lot in places like Thrift on the Avenue, a consignment and resale boutique. They have great accessories by local artists: bow ties

by Bleu Bowtique, wooden jewelry

by Girl Buy, and vintage cuff links and lapel pins from House of Menagerie.

On Detroit Style

I love the message of the homegrown clothing label Detroit Vs. Everybody, which empowers Detroit to keep working hard. The brand features monogrammed tees, sweatshirts, baseball hats, and much more.

Joe Porter’s Men’s Wear is one of the city’s top suit stores, where you can get that iconic Detroit look: a modern zoot suit with wide-leg pants.

by sara lieberman photography by ly n d o n f r e n c h

Michael-Anthony Spearman (“The Big Fashion Guy”), 30, Image Consultant and Blogger

How would you describe your style?

Urban preppy. I was born in the Bronx and raised in Detroit, two very distinct cities where I gained inspiration from my surroundings—like pairing blue jeans with a structured blazer and the uniform look of a V-neck sweater, polo shirt, and khakis.

Ralph Lauren is one of my biggest inspirations. fashion

How about the Motor City’s style scene?

Detroit is such a melting pot of cultures that all influence each other, but it has a particular lasting style that mixes classic comfort with a touch of old-school glam. Some guys go to work in overalls paired with a nice fedora or jeans with a chunky necklace. The style scene is truly starting to blossom. We now have a Michigan Fashion Week, as well as style organizations and influencers like “The Seen” Detroit, Detroit’s Walk Fashion Show, and The New Stereotype: Motor City.

What should a visitor wear to fit in?

Detroit is very big on expressing your individuality regardless of what others may say or think. We have a “who cares?” attitude, but we are also passionate about our professional sports teams, so rocking any sports memorabilia is a sure way to fit in.

Tell us about today’s look.

Detroit dressing is all about coordinating your look head-to-toe in one color and maybe one texture. Today, I went with shades of brown.

The tweed newsboy hat is by Capas Headwear.

The brown herringbone shirt is from Sean John, and I paired it with a chocolate brown tie from thetiebar.com. My corduroy pants are Polo by Ralph Lauren, to keep with the preppy look, and my coordinating tweed blazer is from Stafford. My shoes are from Asos, and I got the lapel pin from the Salvation Army.

The Last Picture Show A Brooklyn photographer shares his appreciation for abandoned spaces Ansel Adams can keep his sweeping outdoor vistas. Brooklyn-based photographer Matt Lambros finds poignant beauty in an opposite kind of landscape: the interiors of abandoned movie theaters. For his latest book, After the Final Curtain: The Fall of the American Movie Theater, out this month, Lambros traveled around the country, from Boston to Detroit to New Orleans and all manner of small towns in between, photographing the ruins of 24 formerly grand movie palaces and their collapsed ceilings, dilapidated projection booths, and chipped decorative plasterwork walls.

Lambros was inspired to seek out the old theaters by his grandmother, who, he says, “would stop at every old barn she came across, dragging me and my brother along with her.” It’s unsurprising, then, that the images hark back to a pre-multiplex era when, as Lambros puts it, “going to the movies was an event.”

There’s undoubtedly a sense of loss in the photos.

“Unfortunately, a large number of the theaters I’ve

photographed will probably be demolished rather than reused,” Lambros notes. As a result, After the Final Curtain serves as something of a eulogy for these spaces, one of the last opportunities for these architectural marvels to be seen before they’re lost to the wrecking ball. Some have already been demolished.

Still, through advocacy work and charitable photo workshops, Lambros has managed to help restore some of his favorite subjects. The first theater he ever photographed, the ornate Kings Theatre in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood, reopened last year with a roof-shaking Diana Ross concert after a $95 million restoration. “Even though I had photographed the Kings many times throughout the years, walking into the restored theater was aweinspiring,” Lambros says. “It looked just like how I imagine it must have looked when it originally opened in 1929.” —ND (OCT. 1)

This month, Chicago’s Field Museum presents the new exhibit Tattoo, which features Maori masks, Argentine cactus needle tools, and models of the human body inked by contemporary artists. While tattoos may not date back as far as the Field’s most famous resident, Sue the T. rex, the artform has a surprisingly long history: The world’s oldest known tattoos can be found on Ötzi, a naturally mummified man who was buried under an Alpine glacier in about 3300 B.C. Ötzi had 61 tattoos—five more than celebrity inkophile Justin Bieber (as of press time, anyway). (OCT. 21)

The Prince of Ales The heir to the British throne raises the bar with his brand-new pub.

MAR PHOTOGRAPHICS/ALAMY LIVE NEWS (ÖTZI THE ICEMAN); THEO WARGO/GETTY IMAGES FOR THREE LIONS ENTERTAINMENT (BIEBER); POOL/TIM GRAHAM PICTURE LIBRARY/GETTY IMAGES (PRINCE CHARLES)

british history Traditional pubs are closing all over the United Kingdom. So it came as quite a surprise when Prince Charles announced that he would be getting into the pub business this fall.

Through his position as Duke of Cornwall, Charles created the town of Poundbury in Dorset County as a lesson in sustainable urban development. This month, the village welcomes the Duchess of Cornwall pub, a partnership between the duchy and Hall & Woodhouse brewery that will also include a 20-room inn. The bar’s name refers to the prince’s wife, Camilla Parker Bowles; her sister, Annabel Elliot, will serve as its design consultant.

“As a family that can trace its roots back to 1066, we are delighted to be working with another family with a long history,” says Mark Woodhouse, chairman of Hall & Woodhouse. “The Duchess of Cornwall is going to be a truly amazing pub, a product of both families’ traditions.”

A classic Georgian inn, the Duchess oozes old-school English charm, with rooms reflecting three key themes—mercantilism, seafaring, and gentility—and a menu of elevated pub fare, such as lobster frites and duck-confit shepherd’s pie.

No word yet on whether Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles—who will be in town this month to inaugurate both the pub and Queen Mother Square, on which it sits— will follow up the ribbon cutting with a pint of the pub’s limitededition Duchess Ale. —DENA ROCHÉ

Prawn Star To sample royal red shrimp, you’ll need to travel to the source

According to the FDA, when you buy or order “shrimp,” you might get any of 41 species, farmed or wild, from all over the world. But if you buy “royal red shrimp,” it can be only one prized, rare species: Pleoticus robustus, the King of Shrimp. Tory McPhail, longtime chef at New Orleans’s Commander’s Palace, recently described the unusually red, almost cooked-looking crustacean as “hands down one of the best pieces of seafood I’ve ever eaten.”

But despite its lofty reputation among those in the know, the royal red remains unknown to many. That’s because it is fished for in jjust three commercially significant en enclaves: two in the Gulf of Mexico aand one in the Atlantic, off St. Augu Augustine, Florida. Never farmed, roya royal reds live much deeper and farther off offshore than other shrimp—50 to 200 m miles out and as deep as 2,500 feet— feet—making them difficult and expensiv expensive to catch.

They’re soft-shelled and fra fragile, meaning they’re tough to sh ship, so the marine biology

easiest way to try them is to visit the Gulf Coast, especially around Biloxi and Gulfport, Mississippi, where they’re a prized local specialty.

“They’re saltier, because the ocean gets saltier as it gets deeper,” says Robin Krohn-David, executive director of Biloxi’s Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum. “They’re so good— more like lobster than shrimp—and great boiled and dipped in butter.”

“I haven’t ever found any shrimp better in the world,” says Ed Layton, the vice president overseeing food and beverage for Gulfport’s Island View casino, which serves royal reds at its Beach Boulevard Steamer. “It’s delicate, sweet—more like scallop or crab.”

“People crave them,” says chef Aimee Anglin of The Blind Tiger, a waterfront gastropub in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. She serves them in tacos; atop char-grilled oysters; and with corn, sausage, and potatoes in the Low Country Boil. “Succulent is how I describe it—but you can’t describe it. You have to taste it. They melt in your mouth.” —LARRY OLMSTED

Remember the Alamo City San Antonio’s newest luxury properties are firmly rooted in the past out to be much hipper than its self-deprecating bumper stickers suggest, managing to transform on its own terms while still preserving local spirit.

The 146-room hotel opened lastt fall nce in the 1894 Pearl Brewhouse, once ow Texas’s grandest brewery and now the hub of an urban-renewal district that includes a Culinary Institute of America campus.

You might assume the property is ctunamed for one woman, but it actuer ally honors three: Emma Koehler 914 owned the brewery after the 1914 he hands of one death of her husband, Otto, at the dE of two mistresses—both also named Emma.

Husband-and-wife design duo Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch have incorporated former brewery components, such as cast-iron storage tanks and an old generator flywheel, alongside homey design elements like worn buffalo-leather sofas and kilim-upholstered chairs.

In addition to Larder, a local provisions market hidden in the old cellar, the hotel is home to chef John Brand’s Supper, a South Texas bistro featuring clever yet comforting dishes like venison loin with juniper parsnip mousse and blueberry mustard.

All the News That’s Fit to Woodprint Decades before Twitter and Facebook Live, Mexican Modernists were inventing citizen journalism Opening this month at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Paint the Revolution: Mexican Modernism, 1910-1950 is being called the most comprehensive collection of Mexican Modernist art shown in the U.S. in seven decades.

The exhibit showcases an era when Mexico’s most prominent artists, such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, used their works to bear witness to historical events and express political views.

“The whole idea of Mexican art in Modernism is to activate people and make them aware,” says project assistant curator Mark A. Castro.

“These artists perceived themselves as workers, invested in shaping society for the better.”

One of the exhibit’s surprising highlights is a small group of prints that are among the earliest depictions of the horrors of Nazi Germany.

Long before the international press got its hands on photos of the atrocities, European political exiles joined forces with a collective of American and Mexican artists called Taller de Gráfica Popular to create 1943’s The Black Book of Nazi Terror. One print, Deportation to Death, by Leopoldo Méndez, depicts soldiers inspecting train cars filled with people being

32

shipped off to a concentration camp— perhaps the first published depiction of the Holocaust—while his wood engraving The Vengeance of the People (pictured) shows an ax-wielding man attacking the cowering figures of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

“Once they escaped, rather than do nothing, they began to vocalize and document these horrors,” Castro says. “In one way, [The Black Book] is a small angle within the exhibit, but in another way, it is representative of this

entire trend, which is that artisans felt that they had to activate people to fight oppression.” For instance, American expat Robert Mallary’s 1942 lithograph This Is the Nazi New Order, which prominently featured a cross-wearing man being executed by the Nazis, was used as pro-war propaganda.

“These artists created art to provoke the changes that they wanted to see,” Castro says. “They felt that there was a responsibility to do that—for art to do that.” —STEPHANIE CITRON (OCT. 25)

Sigourney Weaver Scares Easy Apparently, the tough-lady persona is just an act

ON SCARY MOVIES

“I’m very suggestible, so there are many things I can’t watch— even stuff that I think is really not convincing, like vampire and zombie movies. I can’t watch any of it unless I’m with my daughter, who is very hardcore and is like, ‘Oh, Mom, can’t you see the latex coming off their

34

faces?’ Like, with World War Z, which I really wanted to see, I needed to be told exactly what would happen, and then I could watch it and enjoy it. Isn’t that terrible? But it also means that I really believe it. I wish I could say that only really scary movies scare me, but it’s not true. It’s sad.�

ON HER FIRST FILM FRIGHT

“I remember going to see something very nice and benign, a Disney movie like The Light in the Forest. But before and after, they had these rather terrifying coming attractions for The Tingler. They shook your seat and gave you a little shock, and that completely undid me for many years. I think I could still get scared about it.�

ON THE GHOSTBUSTERS REMAKE

“I love the idea of there being women Ghostbusters. I loved meeting little-boy Ghostbusters on Halloween. For a long time, I thought, ‘Where are the little-girl Ghostbusters?’ They’d have to be [my character from the original films] Dana, which is ‌ not quite as exciting.â€?

ON HER FINDING DORY CAMEO

“I was very flattered, because I had done a lot of work on the ocean, climate change, and I really believe in these protected areas.

They really work, and so I was thrilled to be a ‘friend of the fish.’ But I had no idea that they would use [my voice] throughout, and that the fish would say ‘my friend Sigourney,’ which, to me, was such a great compliment that I try not to eat them now!� —ND

Sigourney Weaver has shared the screen with ghosts, aliens, robots, and, in A Monster Calls (which is currently on the film festival circuit in advance of a January 6 wide release), a CGI tree creature voiced by Liam Neeson. In J.A. Bayona’s adaptation of the children’s book of the same name, she plays the stern grandmother of a young boy who copes with his mother’s terminal illness by trading late-night tales with Neeson’s visiting colossus. It’s telling that the giant wooden beast is the cuddlier of the two characters.

While Weaver has embodied some of cinema’s steeliest badasses, as an audience member she’s, well, a bit of a scaredy-cat. “I’ve always been much too sensitive to anything scary,� she says, with a laugh, “which is so ironic, because I play, you know, these great people.�

Here, fresh off summer cameos in the Ghostbusters remake and Finding Dory (in which she played herself as the celebrity PA announcer of the fictional Marine Life Institute), Weaver talks about scary movies, girls fighting ghosts, and why she’s avoiding seafood these days. film studies

Three Perfect Days:

Barcelona by b oy d fa r r ow p h o t o g r a p h y by s a lva l ó p e z

Spain’s El Gordo may be the world’s biggest national lottery, but Barcelona residents have already hit the jackpot. The capital city of Catalonia, a semiautonomous region in the country’s northeast, has a culture—and language—all its own. It has extraordinary architecture (from the medieval clutter of the Barri Gòtic to the Modernist apparitions of Antoni Gaudí), a lively arts scene, some of the world’s most inventive cuisine (22 Michelin-starred restaurants), as well as a perfect climate and more than three miles of sand for its beautiful people to strut their stuff on. All this is hardly a secret: Nearly 25 years after the 1992 Olympics propelled Barcelona into the global spotlight, its 1.6 million residents are vastly outnumbered by the people who come to visit.

Many leave their hearts in the city—and many simply decide to stay.

Day One in which boyd gets a glimpse of a gaudí dreamscape, climbs a mountain to look at modern art, and peruses the world’s greatest collection of fresh produce

It’s midmorning at Caelum, a cryptlike cafe in Barcelona’s Barri Gòtic (Gothic Quarter) where the cakes are made by nuns. I am contemplating a cup of “Blessed Chocolate”— thick as asphalt and almost as dark—when my companion, Lynette Kucsma, whispers: “Try one of these.” From her bag she produces a handful of chocolate cookies shaped like spoons, and we cackle like hens.

Half an hour ago, I watched Lynette make these cookies using a 3-D printer created by the tech startup she cofounded, Natural Machines. The company headquarters are surrounded by a 14th-century cathedral, a 15th-century palace, and the remnants of a Roman wall. In this city, the ancient and the cutting-edge collide like giddy toddlers.

Indeed, much of Barcelona seems like a playpen for surrealists and mad scientists—a Terry Gilliam fantasy brought to life. I woke this morning in the Neoclassical Majestic Hotel, a century-old five-star property on the shopping

38

avenue Passeig de Gràcia. From the balcony of my suite, I looked out at fairytale turrets, pillars of bone, and a roof that resembles an iridescent armadillo.

This turns out to be Casa Batlló, designed by visionary Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, the man who, more than any other, manifests the spirit of Barcelona. Later, having demolished the Modernist breakfast buffet tower I made out of Manchego cheese and Ibérico ham, I cross the road for a closer look. Built in the early 20th century as a private residence, Casa Batlló is more dream sequence than domicile: ceilings swirl, walls convulse, windows bulge. The roof terrace has multicolored mushroom-shaped chimney pots. You can only imagine Gaudí’s meetings with the client, textile titan Josep Batlló: “Hey, Joe, how about skylights shaped like tortoise shells?”

Passeig de Gràcia is situated in Eixample, Barcelona’s commercial hub. It extends from Gràcia, a former village in the north, to Plaça Catalunya, the huge, teeming square where the Ciutat Vella (Old Town) meshes with the 19thcentury grid. After a half dozen or so tactile sales pitches, I am tempted to buy a selfie stick from a hawker to beat my way through the other hawkers.

South of here is Barcelona’s most famous street, La Rambla, a tree-lined pedestrian boulevard that nuzzles the Barri Gòtic and runs all the way to the port. Near the waterfront is the Monument a Colom, a 195-foot iron column with

Christopher Columbus on top, pointing out to sea. This is said to be the exact spot that the explorer returned to after discovering the New World. If he’d turn around, he’d have a great view of what is often called Barcelona’s “emotional hub.”

As for me, I’m mainly seeing the backs of people’s heads and the tops of kiosks. Barcelona attracts 9 million visitors a year, and this morning most of them are shuffling in front of me. At one point I find myself jostling before the ornate Font de Canaletes—built in the 19th century over an ancient watering hole—around which people, even today, congregate to refill their Evian bottles.

Barcelona’s real treasures tend to be above eye level: the multipronged street lamps, the licorice balustrades of the townhouses, the Rococo flourishes of the 18th-century Palau de la Virreina, and the Baroque stylings of the Gran Teatre del Liceu opera house, which was Europe’s largest theater when it opened in 1847. The Liceu’s woes eclipse any tragedy it has staged: A fire in 1861 destroyed everything but its facade, and three decades later the auditorium was re-destroyed by anarchists.

Another rebuild was needed following a blaze in 1994.

Feeling a little overheated myself, I duck down a side street, then weave my way through the Roman ruins to find Lynette and her sci-fi snacks. “Barcelona is great for startups,” she says as we wander the Barri Gòtic, stopping to take in the deliriously latticed bridge on the muchphotographed Carrer del Bisbe. “Where else can you get cheap office space in a place like this?”

We zigzag on, past the looming cathedral, which teems with so many spires it looks like a polygraph test set in stone, and through cobbled Plaça Sant Jaume. In front of the grand Casa de la Ciutat, we look for a group of castellers, multistory human towers that are wildly popular here (presumably for selfies and jailbreaks), but it’s too sticky today for such exertions, so we continue on to the adjacent Plaça de Sant Miquel, where we take in a 90-foot Antoni Llena sculpture that seems to have been built from the world’s largest wire coat hangers.

From here, Lynette leads me to the iron and stained-glass entryway of La Boqueria, a monument to the region’s passion for gastronomy. Inside, locals browse stalls selling glossy olives, bouncy mushrooms, Botoxed fruit, wriggling seafood, and heaving slabs of meat. I see a whorl of saffron worth more than my apartment. One stall sells nothing but eggs: white goose eggs, blue duck eggs, green emu eggs, and huge yellow ostrich eggs.

At Kiosko Universal, one of the market’s bustling eateries, grilled squid and blistered Padrón peppers are thrown on a busy grill beneath a slightly alarming sculpture made from cutlery. Usually, out of a plateful of these small green peppers only a couple will be fiery, but for some reason, every one of mine goes up to 11. Eyes streaming, I discover the one thing not available at the market: water by the gallon.

ham and fried garlic, suckling pig with apricot and pineapple. A vanilla brioche with flaming rum arrives, and while it may not have been meant for my table, it is delicious.

It’s past midnight but still warm when I exit the restaurant. Although my bags have already been dispatched to my next hotel, I decide to try the Majestic’s rooftop bar, where a DJ does his best to get the well-groomed clientele to throw shapes around the swimming pool. I’ve noticed that a popular cocktail in Barcelona is a localized version of the Aperol Spritz, in which the vivid orange Italian aperitif is served with ice, soda, and cava, and this seems a good time to try one. I sip the bittersweet drink and watch the Aperol-tinted street below, until I feel myself slumping into an unflattering shape, close to the water’s edge.

Day Two in which boyd sleeps beside an ancient roman wall, impersonates a filmmaker at the sagrada família, and sparks a war of words between two designers

Four stops from the nearby Liceu metro station is the Museu Nacional d ’Art de Catalunya, a palace built on a hilltop for the 1929 International Exposition. Two escalators hidden in the topiary take you some of the way up, but there are still several hundred steps before you reach the museum’s entrance. At the door, they are handing out oxygen masks.

No, wait, they’re just audio guides. The exhibits, however, are worth the climb. Among the big draws here are the Romanesque and Gothic works, but I linger over Joaquim Mir’s vivid Modernist landscapes, then pause to covet a gorgeous Jujol cabinet. The most popular spot for selfies is in front of Miró’s Mural per a IBM, 1978, which once brightened the entrance of the computer giant’s local HQ. Now it is worth more than IBM. Another quick metro ride takes me to Gràcia, which has retained its simple charms despite an influx of trendsetters. Rising 110 feet in Vila de Gràcia, the colorful main square, is a stone clock tower surrounded by boys showing off their soccer skills. I have a vermouth in the shade and watch for a bit.

I’ve been starving since the Renaissance (all those still-life bowls of quince at the museum), but nobody here seems to eat dinner until two in the morning. The concept of a proper night’s sleep seems alien to Spaniards. Eventually, I arrive at Petit Comitè, on the upmarket Pasaje de la Concepción. Here, Michelin-starred chef Nandu Jubany has created updated versions of a lengthy list of traditional Catalan dishes. I try most of them: l’Escala anchovies and pickled oysters with seaweed, baked monkfish with

Many grand palaces were built along the Roman wall of Barcino, as the Catalan city was known in the Middle Ages. This morning, I wake up in The Mercer, a chichi hotel that has been fashioned out of one of them. Here, famed architect Rafael Moneo has created an extraordinary amalgam of materials and styles. Through the restaurant’s glass floor, I can see the base of the first-century Roman wall, but right now I am distracted by a pastry that has rolled off my table and ended up splatted in the middle of the room. Luckily, there is an adorable moppet in a high chair at the next table. She can take the rap, I decide.

Soon I’m heading north to another Gaudí masterpiece, the SurrealistGothic Sagrada Família—which has been under construction since 1882 and won’t be completed until 2026. One look at the vast church and you

I wouldn’t go as far as to call it smugness, but people here know how lucky they are—the weather, the food, the mountains, the sea. Let’s just say they are proud, but with justification.

understand the delay. Comprising eight tapering 328-foot towers (there will be 18 when the project is finished), every inch oozing with detail, every detail an allusion, it looks like several hundred monumental structures rolled into one.

As I enter, the woman at the desk mistakes me for a member of a TV crew and fast-tracks me to a Passion Tower.

Seeing the line for the tiny elevator, I decide to roll with it.

Then she hands me a 28-page contract, which I must sign on every page. “This is just to say you are liable for damage.”

Later, inching down the tower’s 350 terrifying corkscrew steps, I’m convinced I’m going to slip and take down everyone ahead of me. I picture the faces of the network’s lawyers when they’re hit with the class-action lawsuit.

Love it or hate it, the Sagrada Família is a triumph of structural engineering and a brain-twister for scholars of ecclesiastical symbolism. But it also crowns the architect’s career-spanning celebration of nature: every tile is a honeycomb, every column a tree, every staircase a shell. I crick my neck staring at the ceiling’s frills and jags, the skylights of glowing green and gold, and suddenly wonder how they change the lightbulbs in here. Do they call in the castellers?

“ Barcelona’s treasures tend to be above eye level: multipronged street lamps, licorice balustrades, and Rococo flourishes.”

A short cab ride takes me to the Horta-Guinardó district and up to Gaudí’s Park Güell, a 45-acre pleasure garden seemingly landscaped by Dr. Seuss. Teeming with gingerbread houses, kooky water features, and crazy tiled critters, the park is the legacy of Eusabi Güell, a 19th-century industrialist who commissioned Gaudí to build a residential estate on Muntanya Pelada (Bare Mountain). In 1922 the Güell family gifted it to the city, and today it is one of Barcelona’s most popular destinations. Entrance is restricted to 400 visitors in each prebooked 30-minute slot. I am 10 minutes early, and the ticket collector glares at me. Inside, people are clustered around an Imperial staircase, which leads to the Roman-inspired Salon of the Hundred Columns, atop which is a large viewing terrace.

Here, I rest on a bench in the form of a sea serpent and enjoy panoramic views of the city. Salvador Dalí called this bench a precursor of Surrealism, but after a morning of wall-to-wall Gaudí, it’s starting to look like run-of-the-mill garden furniture. All these cracked tiles, though, remind me that my unmoisturized head is flaying in the heat. If I sit here any longer, I too will become glazed.

After all the stimulation, I decide lunch should be simple, so I turn to London-born chef Alan Stewart, who is getting rave reviews for his year-old restaurant, La Esquina. Part Shoreditch pub, part Soho loft, the eatery bucks Spanish culinary trends by giving vegetables equal billing with meat.

A quiet street in El Born

People tend to think that Spain has a machismo culture, but Barcelona women are strong, powerful, and confident. There is always a sexiness about people who dress completely for themselves.

olga menchén, fashion designer (with francesc grau tomàs, right)

“The markets here sell the most fantastic vegetables, yet most places still serve a big chunk of meat with half a tomato,” says Stewart, who came to Barcelona two years ago. The locals seem to have embraced his approach: By 2 p.m., the place is crammed. I get chilled cream of cucumber soup with crusty bread and couscous with pomegranates and feta—but before leaving I discreetly wolf down a plate of robust pork sausages, ignoring the lentils.

Onward to El Born, the commercial heart of the medieval city, wedged between the wall and the port. The district, already brimming with galleries and funky shops, is now attracting droves of artisans. I can practically taste leather and single-bean chocolate in the air.

Among the great Renaissance mansions of Carrer de Montcada is the cloistered Museu Picasso. Many early works from the Barcelonatrained artist are on display here, including an

45

1896 self-portrait in which he looks spookily like Prince. One of the pleasures of the museum is seeing how versatile Picasso was: Of all the artworks here, there is very little in the way of messed-up guitars or people with noses on the sides of their heads.

Around the corner from here is the Basílica de Santa Maria del Mar, considered the city’s finest and most complete example of Catalan Gothic architecture, on account of its relatively prompt construction.

Begun in 1329, this compact church was completed a mere 55 years later.

In 1936, during the Spanish Civil War, the interior was burned out, but the soot-blackened vault only heightens the eerie beauty of the space.

“ People here live well every day.

They appreciate the food, the weather, the beauty of the place.”

At the nearby Super Super Bar, I meet Francesc Grau Tomàs and Olga Menchén, who own Menchén Tomàs, one of Barcelona’s leading fashion labels. Francesc says that design startups are on the rise here, as talented youngsters move to the city. “It takes time for a new generation to learn old techniques, but it is exciting to see,” he says. “Hopefully they won’t all go off and work for Zara.”

I ask if Barcelona is a well-dressed city, and Francesc says “yes” at the same time Olga says “no.” They then argue in Spanish (or maybe Catalan?), as I silently sip my sangria, wondering if I’ve just ended their fruitful partnership. “It is stylish compared to other Spanish cities, certainly more than Madrid,” Olga clarifies eventually. “But it is not London or Milan.” Francesc risks adding: “The weather is far hotter here.”

“Let’s go for a walk,” I suggest tactfully. Weaving southwest toward the port, they agree that the city is undergoing a period of rapid gentrification, particularly around the patch north of the Passeig de Colom, the wide palm-lined avenue that separates the jumble of Born streets from the port. We stop for more sangria on the roof of The Serras, a Design Hotel that overlooks Port Vell, the marina created for the 1992 Summer Olympics. This fall an outpost of the Manhattan members-only club

Soho House is opening in once-seedy Plaça del Duc de Medinaceli.

Olga has been quietly reassessing. “The city is getting more stylish,” she declares.

And so am I. A little later, in a crisp white linen shirt, I enter Paco Pérez’s Michelin-starred Enoteca, at the seafront Hotel Arts, the sleek latticed skyscraper where I’m staying tonight. Behind my crisp white tablecloth in the all-white room, I all but disappear. I’m surprised no one screams at the sight of my levitating, crazy-tiled head. I order lobster with chanterelles, almonds, and zucchini, followed by “Sole and the Mediterranean Sea,” which is tasty but not as comprehensive as it sounds. I’m also cajoled into getting the white chocolate soup with passion fruit, before a plate of intricate petit fours arrives, reminding me of Park Güell.

Later, exhausted and stuffed, I make my way up to my room on the 30th floor. I leave the blinds fully open and fall asleep gazing out at the twinkling harbor lights far below.

Day Three in which boyd meets a movie star, joins a spanish square dance, and eats his way up the food chain

I am swimming alongside a fish. It’s a whopper—170 feet or so from end to end—looming over the pool at the Hotel Arts. Created for the 1992 Olympics, Frank Gehry’s latticed, gold-colored El Peix d’Or is now one of Barcelona’s best-known landmarks.

The Catalan capital, famously, used to be a city with its back to the sea. Before the Olympic Games, this area was largely wasteland. The Port Olímpic marina was created from scratch, part of a $12 billion makeover that included shipping in enough sand to extend the city’s

beach at Barceloneta—the wedge-shaped district bordered by El Born, the sea, and the Port Vell site—to three miles.

Post-swim, I stroll along a boardwalk past rows of restaurants and shops selling seafood and souvenirs. It’s all very orderly—what Cancún might look like if it were run by the Swiss—but it’s remarkable that there even is a beach here, four short metro stops from Plaça Catalunya, Barcelona’s bustling answer to Times Square.

I stop for a café con leche at Vai Moana, a “gourmet beach bar” on Bogatell beach, about half a mile from Port Olímpic. My server, Luciana, seems mildly surprised that I’m not ordering anything stronger. “The Spanish come late in the afternoon for drinks,” she says. “Tourists are more likely to have a gin and tonic for breakfast.” From here, Gehry’s sculpture glistens like a huge carp bobbing along on the sea.

I take the metro from Ciutadella Vila Olímpica to the Passeig de Gràcia. I am having brunch at a curious place called L’Eggs. Owned

by Paco Perez, the restaurant is a plush upmarket joint serving eclectic local fare. The ingredient that binds most things on the menu—often literally—is eggs. Everything looks good, but, inspired by my earlier

“ People tend to talk in hushed tones. Maybe it’s because they always feel as if they’re extras on a film set.” exertions in the pool, I opt for restraint, ordering Andalusian-style baked eggs with baby cuttlefish and tartar sauce, followed by cubes of fried hake with a creamy miso mayonnaise. Then the wry German chef, Alexander Stelzer, foils me. “Try a crema catalana,” he suggests, delivering a ramekin of rich orange-flavored custard with a caramelized crust. I can hear my belt straining with every spoonful.

I take a redemptive stroll toward the galleries and boutiques that have sprung up around the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, in the once seedy El Raval district. This modern, glass-fronted building is a nod to Le Corbusier in a city dominated by Gaudí. Inside, I pause before a five-pound note, and the face of Queen Elizabeth, upon which the German artist Hans-Peter Feldmann has added a clown nose. It’s part of an exhibition exploring punk’s influence on visual culture—although

Tapas at Bar del Pla

for that you can simply look at the street art sprayed on every wall outside.

From here, I wander through another roughand-ready district, Poble-sec, which is becoming a stomping ground for the creative classes and adventurous Airbnb-ers. In charming Plaça del Sortidor, children run around the fountain while old men chat quietly on the benches. I realize that people tend to talk in hushed tones in Barcelona. Maybe General Francisco Franco’s rule, which lasted from the late 1930s to 1975, took its toll, or maybe it’s because they always feel as if they’re extras on a film set.

The metro from Poble-sec takes me to Liceu, on La Rambla, from which I make my way back through the Barri Gòtic. I stop for a mint tea at a brasserie in the magnificently porticoed Plaça Reial, with its palm trees and central fountain between two elaborate lampposts designed by you-know-who.

I’m heading for the beloved tapas joint Bar del Pla to meet film producer Danielle Schleif, a New Yorker married to a local man. I find her seated next to David Verdaguer, star of Danielle’s steamy rom-com 10,000 Km. Over mojama (salt-cured tuna), suckling pig with tomatoes, and wine from the local grape Xarel•lo, the actor describes how he moved here from Girona 17 years ago, and how the city still fills him with delight.

2 “People here know how to enjoy life,” he says. “They don’t work insanely hard and then have a big blowout at weekends. They have perfected moderation. People live well every day. They appreciate everything—the food, the weather, the beauty of the place.”

“You never leave your apartment,” Danielle teases him.

“I come here all the time,” he says, hugging the sommelier as she passes. He gestures at the muddle of alleys around us, which is more than an open-air museum, he says: It is a real, living community, inhabited by “princes and thieves.” I think he means that the neighborhood is diverse.

Danielle and I have a table booked for dinner uptown, so we decide on a leisurely walk, which takes us past the cathedral. On the steps, a brass band is playing, and the plaza is filled with locals dancing the sardana. The routine involves circles of people joining hands and raising them as they move with small, precise steps, around and around. As others join, and the circle gets too large, it splits into another one, until the entire square is a mass of slowly spinning bodies. “The sardana is a powerful symbol of Catalan unity and pride,” Danielle says. “Although,” she adds in a stage whisper, “it’s hard to believe that such an attractive people have a dance that is this unsexy.”

We are heading for BistrEau, run by the Michelin-starred “Chef of the Sea,” Ángel León, at the Mandarin Oriental. Sitting beneath a metal lattice that filters light, there’s a sense that we are underwater. We opt for the ominous-sounding Discovery Menu, and the waiter asks if I have any allergies. I’ve noticed they serve plankton here. “We’ll see,” I mumble.

It turns out that I can eat plankton (and cockles in seawater jelly, squid-ink risotto, sea snails, and even raw shrimp), so I’ll be fine when it turns out to be the next superfood.

“My husband would love it here,” Danielle says.

“I’m sure there are some things here that even he hasn’t tried.” I smile, discreetly trying to dislodge a barnacle from the roof of my mouth.

After eating our way through the first few links of the food chain, we head for the Caribbean Club, a wood-paneled rum bar midway down a narrow back lane in a 12th-century building in El Raval. The joint is so small there are only four stools; two are occupied by heavily tattooed women, and we perch awkwardly on the other two. My cocktail seems to contain only alcohol, and I am suddenly grateful there is nowhere for me to fall—I can prop myself against the bar, the wall, or an extra from Orange Is the New Black.

When we stumble out of the bar, around 3 a.m., the grittily beautiful streets are full of young people laughing and talking. No one appears particularly drunk or bedraggled. It just seems nobody wants to go home. As David Verdaguer said, people here have nailed the art of enjoying themselves.

Q&A with Laverne Cox

Breaking Through The Orange Is the New Black star is transforming American minds one revolutionary role at a time by richard morgan

hen Laverne Cox landed her breakthrough role as imprisoned hairdresser Sophia Burset on Netflix’s ensemble dramedy Orange Is the New Black, she kept her part-time gig as a server at Lucky Cheng’s, a salty drag restaurant on New York’s scruffy Lower East Side. She was unsure that America was ready for a black transgender TV star—let alone a show about life in a women’s prison. She multitasks as a matter of instinct.

In the years since, Cox has smashed boundaries, becoming the first transgender person to be nominated for an Emmy, as well as the first to appear on the cover of Time magazine. But perhaps her greatest achievement thus far is that she’s helping America itself to transition. Trans life is,

W

Hemispheres : I’m looking at your autumn schedule, and you’re so busy!

For someone who has spent so much of her life being told to be invisible, what’s it like to now have all this newfound visibility?

Laverne Cox: I’ve never been a person who blends into the background.

I’m 5'11" without heels. I have a big presence. When I walk into spaces or down the street, I’ve always been noticed. So there’s that piece of being hypervisible, but then being underrepresented in media. What I’ve been cognizant of since this rise started with Orange Is the New Black is that this is not just about me. This is about other trans people having their voices amplified. Everyone has a voice, but everyone doesn’t have a platform to amplif y that voice. [Now] we’re being spoken to

54

if not yet broadly embraced, at least widely discussed. This fall, Cox, 32, is starting conversations on multiple fronts.

In addition to her ongoing efforts as an LGBTQ activist and her role on Orange Is the New Black continuing to shed light on transgender issues, this month she stars as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in Fox’s reboot of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And later this season, she’ll play Cameron Wirth, an Ivy League–educated lawyer on the CBS drama Doubt, the first network series with a regular transgender character.

In the midst of this whirlwind season, we caught up with Cox to discuss her newfound exposure, the pitfalls of sexiness, learning to love her voice, and, yes, karaoke.

She has the range.

and having a voice, not just being spoken about.

H: On Orange Is the New Black and Doubt, you play a trans woman. In Rocky Horror, you’re playing a transvestite. But do you ever want to just go for “women’s” roles?

LC: Well, it’s not just about what I go for—it’s about what people approach me to play. But w ith Frank-N-Furter, I would say that she identifies as a transvestite, but she’s also an alien, and she’s a scientist, and she’s a lover, you know? By night she’s one hell of a lover [laughs]. And one of the things I want to say about the term “transvestite” is that in the 1970s trans women who had not fully medically transitioned referred to themselves as transvestites. So the way we understand the term

transvestite today is not the same way we would have understood the term in the 1970s.

H: How does your trans identity factor

into your development of characters?

L C : My question is, Does the character become trans automatically because I’m playing her? The character becomes a black woman when I play her, because I’m black and don’t stop being black when I’m playing a part, even though the character may not have been written for a black woman. If the character is not written for a trans woman, does she become trans because I’m trans? I don’t know what the answer to that is, but what I do know is that I want to continue, God willing.

They might be trans roles, it might not specify, and it might not matter!

55

Q&A with Laverne Cox

H: The first challenge is acknowl-

edgement and awareness. After that, it’s about moving beyond awareness and developing some actual closeness. On Orange Is the New Black, Sophia spent much of season four in solitary confinement in the SHU (Security Housing Unit), which took you out of your comfort zone of playing the sociable hairdresser and let you be psychological and intimate and vulnerable in a way that was new.

LC: When we got the scripts for this last season, I was like, “Oh, wow, they’re going there. This is big!”

Because solitary conf inement is really horrific, a terrible thing to do to a human being. It breaks people.

So, when I got the storyline, I was like, “This is a huge responsibility.”

Not much dialogue, but physicality through behavior. It required me to dig really deep into that place where I might not want to survive, because the circumstances a re really, really dire. It’s a darkness that I’ve personally known.

H: You mean when you attempted suicide at 11?

LC: And other times in my life as well. To tap into that is scary, because it’s really dark. Just because the director has said “cut” does

not mean that those feelings go away. Being intimate is part of what we do as artists, and that is my challenge as an actor: to always try to go deeper and to reveal more through these characters.

about Cameron is the firm she works for: It’s a firm that fights for the underdog. She’s dealing with these systems that are really effed up, you know? The criminal justice system is deeply f lawed. That conf lict has been fun and tricky to play so far.

H: On the flip side, on your upcom-

ing CBS series Doubt, you play an Iv y League–educated law yer. It seems significant that not only are you not a prisoner, you’re playing a trans character who is successful and happy. And you finally get to play with outfits!

LC: [Laughs.] It’s exciting! But high heels hurt after you’ve been on set for, like, 12, 13-plus hours.

Over the years, I have met so many trans people who are attorneys, so it’s not really unusual.

H : T he W h ite Hou s e L GB T

liaison, Raffi Freedman-Gurspan, is a trans woman. We’re in such a trans moment. Your push for equality reminds me of a Cornel West quote that I know you like: “Justice is what love looks like.”

LC: “What love looks like in public.”

Yes! Cameron’s an attorney, but she’s also a trans woman, and she’s a black woman, and she’s working in corporate America. What’s wonderful

“Just because the director has said ‘cut’ does not mean that those feelings go away.”

H: And then there’s Dr. Frank-N-

Furter in Rocky Horror, who is the opposite of an underdog. It’s such brash camp fun. I love the look. It’s like Grace Jones meets David Bowie.

LC: [Laughs.] You’re not the first person to say this—someone else said, “If Grace Jones and David Bowie had a love child…” I love that everyone’s seeing that! They were all over the mood board.

H: Was it hard to play a character so many of us already know and love?

LC: Oh yeah, the pressure! Tim Curry’s performance [in the original] is so legendary, it’s so iconic, and it’s something that I have looked to over the years, way before I was even considered for this part. It’s something that I lived for, something that helped form me in my adolescence.

Stepping back in time with the members of the American Mountain Men association t’s early afternoon on a Sunday, and the mountain men of the Missouri River Brigade are hungry.

This intrepid crew has been camped along a small stream in central Kansas for two days now. All around them, the Flint Hills glimmer in the hot sun with specks of rock— perfect for making arrowheads or sparking a fire—but down in the shade of the trees, the men have found cool and quiet.

The great Santa Fe Trail and its bustling 1,200-mile route from Independence, Missouri, to the Mexican frontier passes not far away, but the men aren’t pressed to go anywhere just now. Instead, there’s ample time for rest, for hunting, for skinning beavers and preparing the pelts for sale or use. A few of the men are off in a field tending to their horses. Others are studying a booklet of Native American signs—a few gestures could make all the difference in an encounter with an unknown tribe. Now and then, the flap of the whiskey tent pops open. It’s never too early for a nip of shrub or Taos Lightning, a potent frontier booze made of rye, cayenne pepper, tobacco, and a touch of gunpowder.

Around the fire, John Varcoe is sitting on a damp log, getting in a late shave. The 68-year-old deftly pulls a straight razor across his face and wipes the blade clean on a soft leaf.

A rusty tin of tallow that he rendered sits on his lap, and he dips into it to lubricate his face as he shaves. The blade crinkles as it slides across his face, leaving a glossy sheen behind, along with a couple of bloody nicks. “Anyone have a sewing kit handy?” he asks, only half joking.

Missouri Jim, the camp’s main chef, is so busy he hardly registers the remark. Finally finished cleaning up from breakfast (bacon and rice), he’s already started with the evening’s stew (bison is on the menu) while at the same time keeping the coffee pot full. Before he does so he lays the beans—still in their small burlap bag—on a log and pounds them with the back of a hatchet. “Don’t have to be perfect,” he mutters. “So long as it’s black and hot.”

Andrew Battles, who is 49 years old, is focused on his midday snack. He’s wearing leather pants, a brown cotton smock, and a blue bandanna that he’s tied around his bald head, and he pulls a Sheffield butcher knife from the belt at his waist. A small piece of elk meat rests before him, and he uses the sharp knife to trim away some of the fat.

“Salt and pepper and garlic is all you need to cook with,” Battles announces, as he attaches the hunk of meat to a steel hook that hangs low over the embers of the fire.

One of the men, sitting around the fire cleaning his rifle, is nonplussed. “I don’t eat salt much anymore,” he says. “I get heartburn.”

Battles is curious. Heartburn? “Have you tried sleeping on your side?” he asks.

“I’ve tried it all,” the man replies. “I’m on a diet now.”

“A diet.” Battles ponders this for a moment. “Which one?

Atkins? South Beach?”

Across the fire pit, Varcoe puts his shaving kit away and tuts quietly. “Come on, guys,” he pleads. “It’s the 1800s.”

The men nod solemnly and return to their tasks. t is not, in fact, the 1800s. It’s a late spring day in 2016, and the figures around the campfire are not exactly mountain men, at least not in the traditional sense.

They’re members of an association called the American Mountain Men, an organization that was founded almost 50 years ago to celebrate and preserve the traditions of America’s great frontiersmen of the early 19th century.

In his real life, Andrew Battles is the director of critical care and the head of the emergency department at Liberty Hospital, outside Kansas City.

During these events, which they call rendezvous after the annual trade fairs that helped sustain the original mountain men, the AMM members take verisimilitude very seriously.

They use only the tools of the era and practice skills that were essential at the time (fire-starting and sign language

I

chief among them). The only modern items permitted at a rendezvous are medicines and cameras—a concession to the collective desire to share the experience on Facebook.

“ The members of the American Mountain Men association take verisimilitude very seriously.”

The original mountain men, trappers and explorers of limitless ambition and sometimes reckless abandon, lived lives that often seem to have been filled to the brim with intrigue, discovery, and adventure. Their exploits survive in the form of myth and fable and famous names still taught to schoolchildren: Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, Kit Carson. Perhaps none is better known nowadays than Hugh Glass, the Pennsylvania-born fur trader whose dramatic story of extreme survival was portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio (to the tune of an Oscar for best actor) in last year’s box-office hit The Revenant.

The early mountain men were the first Americans to venture systematically into the terrain west of the Mississippi River that was acquired in the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. Setting forth from the outpost town of St. Louis, they crisscrossed the frontier in search of water routes to the Pacific Ocean and uncharted mountain peaks. (In Eastern cities at the time, the Appalachians were thought to be the highest range on the continent.) They met and made deals with native tribes, occasionally setting off skirmishes that would lead to full-scale war and conquest.

In the process, they built up an industry of beaver-pelt trading that made many of them quite wealthy, until the trade’s collapse in the 1840s. (Buffalo pelts remained in fashion for a few more decades, until overhunting led to the species’s near extinction.)

It was an often harsh existence, but for the men drawn to the uncharted mountains, the appeal was irresistible. Take the mountaineer and beaver trapper Edward Robinson. In early 1811, he and his crew left their camp in the Grand Tetons and made their way back east after a severe and trying winter. A few weeks later, Robinson and his crew

were halfway home when they encountered a group of some 60 men camped alongside the Missouri River. The men were headed west, planning to search for a route to the Pacific. For a night, Robinson and his crew rested with the men and swapped stories. The next morning, despite all the distance they had traveled and inspired by the prospect of new adventure, Robinson and his crew turned their caravan around and headed back west.

“ We’ll be out here and someone will say, ‘What day is it? Monday?

Tuesday?’ And no one knows.” he members of the AMM describe a similar pull from the frontier.

In 1984, Eddie Rector retired from a stint as a sniper in the Army’s elite Ranger regiment and returned to his farm in Kentucky. He was 24 years old, and he was unsure what to do next. War and the military life had taken their toll, but everyday life felt so ordinary.

Back at his farm, Rector found himself curious about the frontier battles of early American times, especially those of the French and Indian War of 1754–’63. Those held a particular significance for him, as they involved the origins

T

AMM events, as a junior member, and he had been teaching him some of the secrets of survival in the wild.

Then, at the funeral, about a dozen AMM members showed up. The gesture bonded Rector firmly to the group.

“That showed me right here that these were men of impeccable character,” he says. Now he comes to the rendezvous as a “kind of a remembrance thing and an honor thing” for Koda. “It brings back good memories of him, instead of the bad memories I have at home. That’s what we loved to do.

We did it together.”

“ With the stress and troubles of life—to get to come out here and forget all that, it’s just special.”

of a specialized militia unit called Rogers’ Rangers—a precursor to Rector’s former regiment.

One day, a neighbor introduced Rector to antique-style riflemaking, and he soon found himself drawn to a new passion: period-accurate leatherworks and crafts. A few years later, he joined the AMM. “We’ll be out here, and someone will say, ‘What day is it? Monday? Tuesday?’ And no one knows,” Rector says as he sits by the fire at the Kansas rendezvous, polishing his rifle. He’s dressed in a tricorn hat and colonial-style clothes.

“Ain’t it wonderful?”

In 2003, the communal aspect of the association proved unexpectedly vital to Rector. That year, his son, Koda, who was then 16, accidentally shot and killed himself. Rector was devastated, and for a while he wasn’t sure how he would carry on. He had recently started taking Koda with him to

He pauses for a moment, then adds, “It doesn’t mean you forget. I think about my son every day that I’m out here.

But everything becomes so much more manageable. You just take life as it’s dealt.”

He continues, “This whole organization can save your life, and it’s not just learning how to start a fire. With the stress and troubles of life—to get to come out here and forget all that, it’s just special. I had a lot of bad dreams in my normal life, but when I’m out here it all goes away.”

After instructing Chase to cut off the beavers’ paws, Nestor explains what to do next: “You’ll want to make an incision up the middle just here, cutting all the way up to the jaw, and leaving on the handle”—the tail. “And try not to cut into the castor sacs. If you do, it’s not a disaster, but you better not if you want to be able to eat the meat.”

Nestor has plans for the beaver’s pungent glands. He might use them as bait for beavers and other animals.

The skinning is slow, laborious work. Chase begins with precision, nicking delicately at the flesh, but soon turns to brute force, pulling the skin away roughly from the body.

The goal is a clean pelt: no holes other than those left by the legs and eyes. For the next several minutes, he and Nestor are wrist-deep in rodent guts.

“Hell of a nice job for a first beaver, Tony,” Nestor says as Chase finally separates the last bit of skin from muscle and prepares the pelt for the even gorier stage known as “fleshing,” in which the remaining fat, muscle, and connective tissue are removed from the skin.

Nestor steps back and pauses for a moment, taking in the atmosphere. The woods around him are abuzz with activity. A fire burns at one campsite, while men slip in and out of the nearby whiskey tent. Missouri Jim sidles past holding the fur-covered leg of a deer that he’ll chop up for the evening’s stew. Shots ring out from someone practicing with his flintlock rifle. A few horses whinny in the fields.

Nestor barely seems to notice that his hands are coated in dark red blood and dripping with animal bits.

“It doesn’t get much better than this, does it?” he says.

“This is life as it ought to be lived.”

he next morning at the Kansas campsite, Andrew Battles is gone—back to the real world and his shift at the hospital. The schedule of events for Monday is sparse: beaver skinning: am; indian stirrups: pm.

For Tony Chase, the beaver skinning is the main attraction. Chase, who is dressed in knee-high leather moccasin boots, a fraying blue frock, and a red bandanna, is still a probationary member of the AMM, and skinning a beaver is one of the tasks required for formal membership.

“I’ve done a deer and a bear before, but never a beaver,” he says, as he ponders the belly-up creature before him. “I reckon every animal has his own way of skinning.”

Tom Nestor, a towering 57-year-old Kansan, looks on, nodding. Nestor, dressed in a pink top and a beaver-felt hat that he decorated with purple wampum beads, is the resident beaver-skinning expert. A long-distance truck driver by profession, Nestor trapped these animals in his spare time a few months earlier, using old-fashioned steel traps, and stored them in a freezer for use during the rendezvous.

“I tell my wife that I see a lot of life at 70 miles per hour.

I don’t often get to see it at five miles per hour,” Nestor says in a deep, methodical drawl. He often uses the time on the road to daydream about getting out to the woods. “This life, it’s my freedom.”

London Calling Will the NFL bring American football to England permanently? by joe delessio il lu s t r at i o n by d a m i e n w e i g h i l l

n October 27, 2007, the New York Giants defeated the Miami Dolphins 13-10 in a football game that was almost completely unremarkable. The field was a sloppy mess, Miami started the not-exactly-immortal Cleo Lemon at quarterback, and while New York countered with Eli Manning, who would go on to win Super Bowl MVP a few months later, he threw for just 59 yards. The game would have been quickly forgotten for what happened on the field—except for the field it was played on. That would be Wembley Stadium, in London, which became the first city outside North America to host a regular-season NFL game.

Despite any objections to on-field aesthetics, the jaunt across the pond was an unquestioned success: 40,000 tickets to the game sold in just 90 minutes, and the total attendance exceeded 80,000. Buoyed by the result, the NFL International Series has since become an annual tradition, with two

and then three games played at Wembley each year. This year, the NFL continues to expand its reach: For the first time, the league’s slate of London games will be played at two different venues, with games at Wembley on October 2 and 30 and one at the home of England’s national rugby team, Twickenham Stadium, on the 23rd. And, with an agreement in place to schedule games at the future home of soccer club Tottenham Hotspur, the NFL will play at least four regular season contests in London starting in 2018.

The NFL isn’t the only North American sports league to play regular-season games in far-flung locales—the NBA, NHL, and MLB have all done it—but the league’s consistent focus on London has led many to wonder if the city could one day be home to its own team. This isn’t idle speculation: It’s something that league executives have seriously discussed.

Mark Waller, the NFL’s executive vice president in charge of international business, acknowledges that the league may be close to its domestic saturation point (meaning that it can’t get much more popular in the U.S. than it already is). In order to continue to grow, the league has turned its attention to the rest of the world. “It’s hard to imagine long-term success if you don’t have some form of global equity,” Waller says.

Those efforts are about to broaden. Last year, NFL owners approved a resolution allowing the league to play international games in countries other than the U.K. through 2025, with the Houston Texans and the Oakland Raiders playing the first of those this November 21, at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca. But the league has long viewed London as the most attractive target for international expansion. It’s a big media market, and Waller says the population there has proven it can embrace multiple sports. The common language eliminates a potential complication with playing in a foreign city, and though London didn’t have much history with American football before the NFL began bringing teams over for games, it did have some fans dating back to when the league was first shown on TV there in the 1980s.

(London also had a team in the World League of American Football, later called NFL Europe, in the 1990s.)

There are several obvious benefits to having a franchise in London. It would further heighten the league’s profile in Europe, and Waller says there would be a “first-mover advantage” to being the first U.S. league to expand there.

Waller, who was raised in Wales, adds that a London

franchise would represent not just the city but all of Britain: “It would tap into a part of the British psyche you see in the Ryder Cup, which is we like to compete against the Americans—and occasionally win.”

However, locating a franchise across the Atlantic also presents significant challenges, many of which have become evident in the one-off games the league has staged there in recent years. Just getting the teams to London involves all sorts of logistical issues, beyond merely jet lag. When the New York Jets traveled to London for a game last year, they brought 350 rolls of toilet paper so that players wouldn’t be stuck with the thinner variety used in England. Some supplies were sent over on an ocean freighter months in advance. Waller says that when the league began planning the first overseas game nine years ago, they spent a half hour talking about electrical plugs.

“A London team would tap into a part of the British psyche: We like to compete against the Americans.”

The concerns go beyond logistics. The parity-obsessed NFL is worried about teams feeling the aftereffects of transatlantic trips. (Given the league’s 16-game season, even one jet-lagged week can really hurt a team.) There’s the not-insignificant question of cost. And then there’s the biggest issue. As Waller puts it, “Will the fans really respond to a sport that isn’t domestically indigenous to that market?”

The NFL says it would need roughly six or seven million fans in the U.K. for a London franchise to be viable, which would make football one of the top five sports in the country, along with motor racing, rugby, and cricket. (The other football, aka soccer, is of course king.) Out of those six or seven million, Waller says around a half-million fans would need to be within two and a half hours of the city to build a sufficient season-ticket base.

Those goals are still a ways from becoming reality—the league estimates that it has roughly 3.5 million to 4 million fans in the U.K., with 350,000 to 400,000 within that

two-and-a-half-hour radius of London—but Waller says the NFL’s popularity is “really growing quite well.” More than 100 games will be broadcast live in the U.K. this year, and while you can’t necessarily walk into any London pub on a Sunday and expect to catch a game of American football on TV, Paolo Bandini, a London journalist who covers the NFL for the Guardian, says that “the number of those that exist is exponentially bigger than it was when I was a teenager looking for the sport.” Bandini likes London’s chances of getting a team someday: “I think it’ll happen eventually.

That’s just the way the wind’s blowing.”

Alistair Kirkwood, the managing director of the NFL’s U.K. office, notes that the league’s fanbase there has grown about threefold over the past decade, but he doesn’t necessarily think a London franchise is an inevitability. “I think that would suggest that we’re being complacent or maybe drinking our own Kool-Aid too much,” he says. His job isn’t to lobby for a London team, he says, so much as it is to grow the fanbase in order to one day give the league’s owners that option.

Still, Waller says the owners have already had “serious to very serious” discussions about just that option. He even has a possible timeline in mind: “I’d like to think that by 2020 we would have the numbers in place where, if our ownership wanted to make that decision, they could.”

Joe DeLessio is a journalist from New York City. He thinks touchdowns in London should be worth 4.62 points, to correspond with the exchange rate.

A HEMISPHERES SPONSORED SUPPLEMENT: SKI

REACH FOR THE SKIS

BY ANDREW PRICE

Whether you’re an experienced pro or a first timer, there’s no better feeling than hitting the slopes. Nothing compares to the rush of the wind as you fly downhill, or the satisfaction of hitting a perfect run. But you’ll need the right gear if you want to get the maximum enjoyment from your time on the snow — it’s no fun turning up with the wrong poles or some broken skis. Here you’ll find the two winter gear manufacturers, who’ll keep your skiing experience from being a total wipeout.

Say Lychees!

CASEY NOLIN, COURTESY OF JOHANNA READ

On the nature of celebrity in the middle of nowhere china I’m standing in a soggy field in Hunan Province, surrounded by people in bright traditional costumes milling around at the end of a rain-soaked grape festival. Suddenly, I hear a shout in Mandarin. I look up from the puddles I’ve been unsuccessfully avoiding. A man stares at me for a second or two, then runs off across the field.

China is riddled with arcane social rules, but I’m pretty sure I haven’t done anything to offend anyone, let alone scare them away. Moments later, the man returns with a small child, presumably his son. He thrusts the boy into my arms, then says something I have no hope of understanding. Juggling the child and an umbrella, I smile and deliver one of my five Mandarin words: “Ni-hao,” or “hello.”

By now, it’s clear what’s going on. International tourists are common in Shanghai, Beijing, and near Xi’an’s terracotta warriors, but attract curiosity in many other parts of the country. From noodle bars to rural festivals, foreigners, bewildered by their sudden celebrity, often find themselves being commandeered for photo-ops.

No surprise, then, that a small crowd has gathered in this field, personal devices at the ready, to commemorate the presence of the Western woman with the muddy shoes. The kid, who seems to have been through this before, forms his fingers into the peace symbol and holds it next to his toothy grin.

Just then, the boy’s father, looking over the shoulder of a woman capturing the moment on her phone, breaks into rapid-fire Mandarin and starts flapping his arms. I’m not sure if it’s because he thinks I’m about to drop his son or if he just wants the boy to look at the camera. Finally, the man smiles, says “Shyeh-shyeh”—“thanks”—and reclaims his child. Camera clicks follow me all the way back to my bus. —JOHANNA READ twilightcreationsinc.com ©2016 “Zombies!!! Jr.” is copyright and trademark property of Twilight Creations, Inc. All rights reserved.

Altered Estate Warped perspectives at the House of Eternal Return new mexico Two teenage girls walk cautiously into the living room

PAUL ROSS

of a two-story Victorian house in Santa Fe, just in time to see a man disappear into the fireplace. In the kitchen, a woman beckons and says, “Come with me.” The girls exchange looks, then follow the woman into the refrigerator.

So it goes at the House of Eternal Return, a hybrid art installation, fun house, and interactive mystery theater. The labyrinthine, weirdly ambitious project was opened earlier this year by art collective Meow Wolf, in a disused bowling alley owned by Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin (who also provided funding). Its creators describe it as a “multiverse of unexpected environments.”

Each room in the 20,000-square-foot space is designed to disorient; the result is a bizarre world of oddly tapering furniture, multicolored trees, holographic aliens, and secret portals. While the temptation is to wander around with your mouth open, visitors are also invited to solve a riddle: Who was the family that once lived in this house, and what caused them to disappear?

“Can we get a guide?” a visiting priest asks Chadney Everett, the project’s lead designer, when they meet in a narrow space murkily illuminated with ultraviolet light. “Nope,” Everett replies. “You co-create the experience with us as you guide yourself. No one else will ever have your exact experience.”

Nearby, a woman stoops over a toilet bowl. “This is the damnedest toilet,” she says, peering with an expression of concern at the surrounding tile floor, which appears to ripple like the surface of a pond.

“Something really bad happened to that missing family.” —JUDIE FEIN

Lockhart’s forge in Logan, a short ride up into the Hocking Hills from Cincinnati. Lockhart, a 53-year-old blacksmith, has a heavy beard and forearms that would do Popeye proud, and today he’s showing how to transform a railroad spike into a knife that will sell for $175. He runs regular workshops here, passing on the craft that he learned as a young man—albeit with one big adjustment.

“Women make the best students,” Lockhart says.

“You give a man a hammer, and he’ll do what a man does: He’ll wind up and smash as hard as he can.”

He demonstrates with his ball-peen—clang! “The piece is going to end up ruined and back in the fire.”

It’s good, then, that the co-owner of the business is Lockhart’s daughter, Danielle Russell. A slight, softspoken woman who turns 22 this month, she has been training for seven years and has become a capable smith—though that’s not the only thing she does here. “I feed the chickens, goats, and draft horses,” she says. “I’m also building a web presence for us.”

Lockhart, meanwhile, is finishing up his knife. He plunges the glowing blade into a barrel of mucky water (a blacksmith never flushes out the trough), sending up an angry hiss of steam. “There’s a little piece of everything I’ve worked on in that water,” he says.

Danielle then takes up the hammer, spraying sparks with every strike. “A woman uses her body and focuses her strength; she’ll feel her way through the iron,” Lockhart says. “When I say someone swings like a girl, it’s the best compliment I can offer.” —JOHN SCOTT LEWINSKI

JOHN CUMMINGS (WATER TRIBUNAL)

Smiths Like a Girl

and the crowd in the center of Valencia’s Plaza de la Virgen is already quite large. Near the 13th-century Apostles Gate, onlookers huddle around a circular fenced-in area containing eight leather chairs. When the clock strikes 12, a nearby door opens. Eight men in short black robes, led by a bailiff with a brass pike, make their way to the chairs and sit.

“Claimants from the Quart Aqueduct,” calls out the bailiff in Valencian, the local language. He surveys the crowd for a moment, then repeats the cry.

“Claimants from the Quart Aqueduct!” When no one steps forward, he calls claimants on the next case.

The Tribunal de les Aigües de la Vega de Valéncia—Valencia’s Water Tribunal—is said to be the world’s oldest active court of law. Having started under Muslim rule in the 10th century, the tribunal has survived the Christian Reconquista, the Spanish Civil War, and, most recently, the internet. It meets here weekly to settle disputes involving irrigation, water distribution, and canal maintenance.

Along with being a prized cultural asset—the tribunal is on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list—this remains an important judicial body, able to quickly and definitively settle conflicts that might otherwise get ugly. “Although simple and based on old customs, it works well,” says court officer María José Olmos Rodrigo. “So why change it?”

Which isn’t to say that the docket is always full.

Today, with no claimants in sight, the adjudicators leave in under two minutes—which is just as well, as rain’s starting to fall on the plaza. —MARGARITA GOKUN SILVER

The Hemi

Cox as Dr. FrankN-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show

and that I could sing really high, and I sang exclusively in my head voice for years. I had this aversion to my chest voice. A year ago, even before Rocky came along, I had finished my lecture tour and wanted to dance and sing again. It was like starting over again. We started working on it and discovering it and rediscovering it.

And then the call for Rocky came, and I was ready in my own evolution around my transition—being more comfortable in myself—to accept this part of my voice.

H: And now?

LC: I can say that my chest voice is

H: Did you do the whole midnight

viewing ritual, throwing rice at the screen and everything?

LC: I discovered Rocky Horror on video in my college dorm, but I never went and experienced it myself. I still haven’t. I just kept watching it over and over again and learned all the words and was just transfixed by it. The song “Don’t Dream It, Be It” became this personal mantra.

I was a trip in college. I had little catchphrases: Be bold! Be brave!

Be beautiful!

H: Rocky Horror also requires you to

STEVE WILKIE/FOX

use your deep singing voice, which you’ve shied away from. It was an opportunity for you to accept the fullness of your talents, to sort of let them bloom. I think a lot of people think of you as extremely confident and comfortable with yourself— LC: Mmm-hmmm [laughs].

H: —and so it might come as a surprise that you would still have new things about yourself to get comfortable with.

LC: Oh my God, absolutely. Being a transgender woman—or just being a woman—with a deep voice is something to accept about myself and something that I tried to fix for years.

When I studied singing in college, in voice lessons I was a baritone.

Then I discovered my head voice,

beautiful. It’s a low voice, but there’s something feminine about it. But it’s not even about that. It’s about me accepting and embracing that part of me. And it is absolutely perfect for this character. This is the thing about being an actor that has been so healing for me. Being an artist, there are challenges we have to face and things that I might not be able to be fully comfortable with as Laverne, but the character that I’m playing might be really comfortable with it. And so through this character I can become more comfortable with myself. I’ve been doing that my whole life. That’s why I’m an actor.

H: Do you have any favorite go-to

karaoke songs?

LC: Many! I love “Titanium,” David Guetta featuring Sia, and [Sia’s] “Chandelier.” Those are the two songs I sing pretty much every time I do karaoke. One of my best friends, Mila, for years we would do karaoke, and I would always end with “Sweet Love” by Anita Baker. What’s fun for me about karaoke is that I don’t have to sing loud. It’s about being free and cathartic and letting loose.

H: Pro tip: After Thanksgiving, “All I Want for Christmas Is You”

by Mariah Carey will guarantee you a standing ovation.

LC: [Laughs.] Yeah. Oh, Mariah.

Q&A with Laverne Cox

H: Mariah is so good at being sexy without necessarily being overtly sexual. It seems like that’s such a difficult thing for trans women, because there’s a long history of being seen only as sex objects.

LC: Absolutely.

H: Stylishness, confidence, humor—

they can all be sexy without being sexual, but it gets confusing. You’re so good at navigating it, though.

How do you do that?

LC: Thank you for that. I appreciate it. Being empowered in our sexuality is about seeing ourselves differently, outside of oppressive paradigms. For me, it’s also about acknowledging that a lot of the trauma that a lot of trans people—myself included— have around bodies and sexuality is because historically we have often been reduced to just being sex objects. For me, too, my sexuality is a part of me. This is gonna sound arrogant: I feel like I’ve always been sexy. And sexy isn’t about how you look. It’s an energy. And I feel like that is something that is God-given.

For me to understand my sexuality, it’s something that’s also tied to my spirituality.

H: I’m gay, and if you’re gay or you’re

trans or any “other,” you have to think about your identity so much more than everyone else. There’s soul-searching.

LC: It’s incorporated in a full humanity. My brother has often said to me that I insist on the entirety of my humanity when I step into a public space, and my sexuality is part of that, but it’s also not all of it. I’m also really smart, and I’m talented.

Those are the qualities about me that I most admire. It’s not about my lipstick. It’s not about my sexuality.

It’s not about those things first.

New York City–based freelance writer Richard Morgan has to confess that when he goes to karaoke he sings *NSYNC—en Español.

delayed or canceled flights

travel info

Tips for when your flight is delayed or canceled On occasion, delaying or canceling a flight is the only way we can maintain our high safety standards. In these challenging situations, simply knowing more about your options is an important step toward getting your travel plans back on track.

GETTING REBOOKED

RESCHEDULING YOUR TRIP

If your travel is significantly disrupted, we’ll automatically look for another flight to book you on. We’ll notify you using the contact information provided during booking or at check-in, and you can also view your updated itinerary through the United app, united.com/checkin or an airport kiosk, or ask a United representative.

If your flight is canceled or delayed two hours or more, and you want to postpone or cancel your trip, please call us at 1-800-UNITED-1 (1-800-864-8331) within the USA or Canada, or go to united.com/contact for international contact options.

Sometimes the next available United flight may not be for several hours or, in rare cases, even longer. In these situations, the following options may be available:

MANY OF THESE FEATURES ARE NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH THE UNITED APP, UNITED.COM/CHECKIN AND OUR AIRPORT KIOSKS. If you’re on an aircraft equipped with Wi-Fi, you can access the United app and united.com for free.

STAYING OVERNIGHT If your flight is canceled because of a mechanical issue or other circumstances within our control, we will try to accommodate you in a nearby hotel at our expense. For events outside of our control, such as weather, we may be able to help you find a local hotel at a discounted rate, but we do not cover hotel or meal expenses. If this situation applies to your travel, you can ask a United airport representative about discount hotel options.

STANDING BY

SWITCHING TO A NEARBY AIRPORT Flights into or out of nearby airports may be available.

If you’re able to arrange ground transportation, switching to another airport could reduce your delay.

If you’re given a new itinerary but would prefer to take an earlier flight that is sold out, you can ask to be added to the standby list at no charge. If you don’t get a seat, we’ll move you to the standby list for the next flight.

BE PREPARED

BEFORE YOU TR AVEL

DOWNLOAD THE UNITED APP You can use it to get your boarding passes, check flight status, view standby lists, change to other flights and more.

PROVIDE ACCUR ATE CONTAC T INFORMATION When contacting you about your flights, we rely on the mobile phone number and email address you’ve given us. During check-in, please ensure that your contact details are up to date.

BUY TRIP INSUR ANCE The cost is usually low, and it can offset expenses incurred due to travel disruptions and bag delays. Learn more at united.com/tripinsurance

KEEP ESSENTIAL ITEMS IN YOUR C ARRY-ON BAG You can help yourself through a delay by keeping snacks, baby supplies, medication, travel documents and other essential personal items in your carry-on bag for easy access.

CHECKED BAGS If you are booked on a new itinerary, we’ll make every effort to reroute your checked baggage. Please ask a United representative about the status of your bags and if they can be rerouted.

A toiletry kit may be provided if an overnight stay is necessary and we can’t retrieve your checked baggage.

If your bags arrive at your destination before you do, we will secure the bags until you claim them. If your baggage doesn’t arrive at your final destination with you, please see a Baggage Service representative.

VISIT UNITED.COM/ IMPORTANTNOTICES BEFORE YOUR TRIP This page provides information about severe weather, airport updates and other issues that may affect your travel, and sometimes offers extra flexibility to change your travel plans in advance.

Different policies may apply when traveling to and from certain countries. Please refer to united.com for our Contract of Carriage and additional information.

The U.S. Department of State expects a significant increase in passport applications in 2016 and 2017, which may cause processing times to increase. It’s recommended that U.S. citizens submit passport applications and renewals well ahead of planned travel (at least 10 weeks). Also, beginning January 1, 2016, U.S. citizens can no longer receive passport page inserts, so if you’re running out of pages, you may want to renew now even if your passport is not expiring. For information on how to apply for or renew a passport, visit travel.state.gov.

Expedited entry through CBP Clearance in the U.S.—Global Entry™ expedited passport control and customs CBP offers the Global Entry program to expedite the processing of pre-approved, low-risk international travelers entering the U.S. Upon returning from travel abroad, travelers enrolled in Global Entry may bypass the regular passport control line and proceed to the Global Entry kiosk. Please note that Global Entry is not available to travelers arriving at Honolulu directly from Guam.

For detailed information, including eligibility requirements and the enrollment process, visit globalentry.gov. You can apply for Global Entry from your mobile device during your flight.

OneStop Lanes in Chicago and Houston shorten your walk If you didn’t check any bags, proceed to the OneStop lanes,

regardless of your nationality or final destination. Global Entry kiosks are available. In Houston, you may also use the OneStop lanes if you checked a bag and are immediately connecting to another United-operated international flight.

Mobile Passport Control U.S. and Canadian nationals entering the U.S. can use the free Mobile Passport Control app to submit passport information and Customs Declarations Forms via a smartphone or tablet prior to inspection. This program is currently available to United customers at the Chicago O’Hare, Denver, New York/ Newark, San Francisco and Washington Dulles airports, with plans to expand to other locations. For more information, visit mobilepassport.us.

Expedited screening through the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) The TSA manages and operates , an expedited security screening program that allows certain travelers to move through security more quickly and easily when departing from participating airports in the U.S. The TSA, not United, randomly selects travelers for expedited screening.

The ability to use lanes is most consistent for travelers who have joined a Department of Homeland Security Trusted Traveler program. After completing a background check and screening, travelers who are enrolled in a Trusted Traveler program are issued a Known Traveler Number (KTN) or PASS ID. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces, including those serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, Reserves and National Guard, can use their Department of Defense (DoD) identification number. This number should be noted when making a flight reservation, or you can add it to an existing United reservation through the “Edit traveler information” option at united.com/managereservations.

If the TSA determines that a traveler is eligible for expedited screening, information is embedded in the barcode of his or

her boarding pass. A logo or “TSA PRE” is also printed on the boarding pass near the traveler’s name. When the TSA agent at a participating airport scans the barcode, eligible travelers lane. Note that not all airports offer will be directed to a lanes. Children ages 12 and under may accompany an eligible . traveler through Additionally, the TSA will always incorporate random and unpredictable security measures throughout the airport, and in order to retain a certain element of randomness, no individual will be guaranteed expedited screening.
