Will Yellowstone have an eruption? Scientists read the magma to find out.
BY S ARAH R AZA

With its famous hot springs

and gushing geysers, Yellowstone
is one the most iconic national
parks in the country and aston-
ishes millions of visitors every
year.
Those awe-inspiring sights are
thanks to the magma buried
miles beneath the surface, part of
one of the world’s largest active
volcanic systems. How exactly the
magma is stored there — and
therefore, how it would erupt —
has been a mystery.
Now, scientists have used ad-
vanced techniques to find the
answers to some of these ques-
tions. A volcanic eruption is un-
likely to occur at Yellowstone Na-
tional Park because of the magma
formations underneath, accord-
ing to research published in the
journal Nature on Wednesday,
and the concentration of volcanic
activity will be shifting northeast.
“Nowhere in Yellowstone do
we have regions that are capable
of eruption,” said lead author
Ninfa Bennington, a research
geophysicist at the Hawaiian Vol-
cano Observatory. “It has a lot of
magma, but the magma is not
connected enough.”
Because there’s so much mag-
ma, Bennington said, the region
will stay volcanically active. But
that magma is stored in segregat-
ed reservoirs, so it is not concen-
trated enough to lead to a vol-
canic eruption, at least within our
lifetimes, she added.
Two types of magma exist un-
der the park. One is basaltic mag-

activity on Earth. It erupts more

The World
In colossus of cattle, Argentines increasingly turn to pork
Amid record inflation and economic shock therapy, the grill-obsessed nation consumed less beef per capita in 2024 than at any point in the past century
BY T EO A RMUS

BUENOS AIRES — Gonzalo

Hernández’s butcher shop is just
down the road from statues of a
bull and a cattleman, near a neigh-
borhood that gets its name, Mata-
deros, from its historic role as the
center of the city’s beef slaughter-
houses.
But even in a cow-centric area
in this beef-obsessed country, his
customers over the weekend were
increasingly lined up for a differ-
ent type of meat: pork.
“It used to be that this was
something we sold as an extra, the
same way we did with coal for
grilling,” Hernández said, show-
ing off a refrigerated counter full
of thick-cut pork shoulder. “Now,
pork is a main part of our busi-
ness.”
That Hernández has had to
transfer some of his counter real
estate to the humble pig is just one
sign of how a tough economy and
severe austerity measures — cou-
pled with changing cultural
norms — have been pushing peo-

of red meat.

Nataliia rudenok kept vigil by
her son’s hospital bed in Kyiv.

27-year-old with a square jaw was
crouched in a trench in eastern
ukraine when a mortar round hit
his position. The shock wave
threw him to the ground. When
he stood up, another round land-
ed, and then came a spray of
bullets from russian troops just
50 yards away. One bullet pierced
his face, lodging shards of hot
metal in his right cheek, jaw and
shoulder. The soldier next to him
was killed.
rudenok remembers handing
his remaining bullets to a fellow
soldier trying to fend off the
assaulting russians. He stumbled
through a maze of destroyed vil-
lage houses toward an evacuation
point and cupped his hands
around his face. He watched in
horror as they overflowed with
blood.
five days later, he woke up in a
hospital in Kyiv. “i wasn’t sure if
this was reality or a dream or i’ve
died,” he recalled. His face was so
badly wounded that he couldn’t
speak or eat. after two weeks of
silence, he and his mom started to
communicate through handwrit-
ten notes. He developed pneumo-
nia and had to use a feeding tube
for a month, eventually graduat-
ing to soft foods. When he finally
spoke again, he slurred his words
in a soft voice no longer his own.
“i was actually thinking about
possible injuries,” he recalled. “i
was thinking about my legs, my
arms, maybe my body, but it never
occurred to me that my face could
be injured.”
in the months that followed,
doctors in Kyiv planned a compli-
cated fibular flap surgery — in
which they would move a piece of
rudenok’s leg bone to his jaw to
repair the bullet wound — in
hopes that it would repair rude-
nok’s face and restore his ability
to eat and speak.
unlike many other soldiers, he
hadn’t also lost a leg and could
afford to give up part of a bone in
his calf to try to heal his jaw.
after months of scans, 3D mod-
els and other preparations, the
surgery started well. On a cold
winter morning in Kyiv, two
teams of doctors stood at oppo-
site ends of the operating table.
One group cut open the sol-
dier’s right leg and sawed into his
fibula, then passed a piece of his
calf up the table to their col-

Ward 8 member faces

BY M EAGAN F LYNN

D.C. Council member Trayon

White sr. (D-Ward 8), under in-
dictment for bribery, issued an
apology moments after he was
sworn into office for a third term
— though without saying why.
White was among six lawmak-

After he raised his right hand and
swore to uphold the laws of D.C.
and the United states, and after
tepid applause from the audi-
ence, White addressed the crowd,
calling the moment “bitter-
sweet.” Council member Janeese

The evolution
of cartoonists’
imagery of the
39th president
BY M ICHAEL C AVNA

It was the summer of 2015 when former

president Jimmy Carter revealed a dire diagno-
sis: melanoma had spread to his liver and
brain. As he made peace with the news, receiv-
ing treatment at Winship Cancer Institute of
Emory University in Atlanta, a nearby artist
responded from the heart.
Mike Luckovich, the Pulitzer Prize-winning
political cartoonist for the Atlanta Journal-
Constitution, immediately knew he wanted to
create art for the next day as an expression of
support. Luckovich recalls telling his editor:
“We’ve got to do something on Carter because
he’s been so important to Georgia, to Atlanta,
and he’s such an amazing person.” But evening
deadline was looming. The editor’s response:
Draw quickly.
Luckovich drew a married couple hammer-
ing a sign onto their front lawn. In the style of a
campaign poster, it read: “Jimmy Carter for
Cancer survivor.” And soon after the artwork
was published, a person from Carter’s home-
town of Plains, Georgia, asked permission to
make actual campaign signs like the one pic-
tured. sure thing, the artist said.
several days later, as Carter and his wife,
Rosalynn, were driven home, they came upon
hundreds of these signs lining the street. As
Luckovich recounts, Carter — despite every-
thing he’d just been through — got out of his
vehicle, took a photo and sent it to Luckovich
with words of appreciation.
Political cartooning is “sort of a negative art,
but sometimes you can do a [positive] cartoon
and you never know what’s going to happen
and how it’s going to be received,” Luckovich
said in an interview before Carter’s death
(while noting that Carter once blurbed a book
the cartoonist wrote).
“I was so glad to do it for him and Rosalynn.
They’ve both been such humble, beautiful
human beings. It’s going to be difficult” when
he dies, continued Luckovich, pausing as he
became choked up. “He’s just been so impor-
tant to this country.”
Luckovich’s recollections point to an evolu-
tion in how Carter, who died sunday at 100, was
portrayed by editorial cartoonists. During his

Movie in weekend 2024 BoX oFFiCe tions around the world quickly published
substantial obituaries detailing his life and

Larry Eichel, for example, wrote the Phila-

nearly 35 years ago, when he was a reporter at
the paper, part of a long-standing practice in
journalism to string together biographical
information, personal details and career

as to be prepared when they die. Eichel’s
daughter, Molly Eichel, who is now deputy
managing editor at the Inquirer, wrote on
social media on sunday that her father left

Tracing the contours of race and power

SAAM sculpture exhibit challenges
traditional themes and attitudes
BY M ARK J ENKINS

T
he smithsonian American Art Museum’s
“The shape of Power: stories of Race and
American sculpture” is a complex and
eclectic exhibition, and one that includes
multiple subordinate themes. But in a way, it
begins as a dialogue between just two pieces —
Hiram Powers’s “The Greek slave” and Roberto
Lugo’s “DnA study Revisited” — that were created
almost two centuries apart.
Powers’s marble sculpture, which was produced
multiple times in various sizes and sometimes with
different details, is a story in itself. originally
modeled in clay in 1843, it became the first publicly
exhibited American sculpture of a fully nude wom-
an, and during the 19th century was one of the
best-known sculptural works by an American art-

ist. (The Vermont-born Powers, who lived and

worked in Washington for a few years, made the
piece in Italy, where he ultimately settled.) Al-
though the statue’s mode is classical, its subject
was then recent: It depicts a Christian woman
enslaved by Turkish captors during the 1821-1832
Greek revolt against the ottoman empire.

The show includes three Pow-

ers works, although not the most
famous one held in Washington.
(That’s a larger version of “The
Greek Slave,” originally owned by
the Corcoran Gallery of Art and
now the property of the National
Gallery of Art.) These embody ar-
tistic premises that the show’s
more recent artists question or
entirely reject. But they aren’t the
only such pieces on display. many
of the earlier sculptures represent
Native American or Black subjects
in ways that were once considered
realistic but now appear stereo-
typical and at best patronizing.
ferdinand Pettrich’s 1856 “The
Dying Tecumseh” shoehorns the
fate of the Native American resis-
tance leader, killed by U.S. troops,
into the scenario of an ancient
statue of a Celtic warrior slain by
romans. John rogers’s “The
Wounded Scout, a friend in the
Swamp” is a sentimental Civil War
vignette in which a runaway en-
slaved person risks his getaway to
assist a wounded Union soldier.
