have focused on addressing the psychological toll on children and teenagers touched by the violence. Both the holiday parade and the crowd of onlookers included hundreds of youngsters of all ages.

Ryzenko said after the service. He
said he helped build the Ukraini-
an Greek Catholic church several
years ago, despite a petition op-
posing construction by local Rus-
sian Orthodox priests who dis-
missed the rival denomination as
a “cult.”

The tension reflects a larger
split between Christian factions
that has led many to accuse the
churches still affiliated with Mos-
cow as siding with Russia in its
fight to take over the entire east-
ern Donbas region. In this heavily
Russian-speaking part of the
country, attending a Ukrainian
church can feel like worshiping

He took off his embroidered
gold robe and left the church in
an olive drab cassock, marking
his shift from parish priest to
army chaplain. He was preparing
to take the sacrament to the
troops.

“There are two wars going on
here now,” he said. “The fight for
our land and the fight for the
soul.”

U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eu-
gene Goodman, whose pursuit by
a mob inside the Capitol was the
subject of a viral video, has said
that but for police restraint in the
use of force, the riot “could have
easily been a bloodbath,” a senti-
ment echoed by several officers
on the witness stand in Jan. 6
criminal trials.

Defendants have said as much
as well. In video evidence played
at his trial, Guy Reffitt of Wylie,
Tex., said that as he stood near the
front of the mob on the west side
of the Capitol, he counted eight
firearms carried by five people.

Reffitt said that his count in-
cluded his .40-caliber pistol and
his Texas companion’s .45-caliber
handgun, five firearms carried by
a couple he met at the Capitol and
a .22-caliber weapon carried by a
woman who stopped to help him
after he was hit with bear spray.
Reffitt was found guilty in March
of encouraging one of the first
surges by the mob to overwhelm
police while carrying his semiau-
tomatic handgun in a hip holster.

Of the alleged rioters who ap-
proached the Capitol on Jan. 6,
four have been charged with tak-

grounds, and two of those have
been convicted. Three other sup-

TV REVIEW

‘Black Bird’
sings a tune
we’ve heard
before

BY INKOO KANG
The premise of the new psy-
chological crime drama “Black
Bird” might be brushed off as
overly fanciful, if not downright
hokey, were it not rooted in actual
events: a convicted drug dealer
(played by Taron Egerton) be-
friending a suspected serial killer
(Paul Walter Hauser) in prison to
pry out the location of a victim’s
remains in exchange for a com-
mutation of his own 10-year sen-
tence. (If he fails, the murderer
will probably be released and
continue to kill.)
Concocted by the FBI, the plan
is so far-fetched that it earns the
immediate scorn of a respected
local cop (Greg Kinnear). “What
you’re doing isn’t police work,” he
tells the federal agent (Sepideh
Moafi) coordinating the scheme.
“It’s desperation.”
Adapted by novelist Dennis
Lehane from James Keene’s
memoir “In With the Devil,” the
Apple limited series is the TV

Tyler Micoleau’s lighting as a
Giant rattles the kingdom; and a
cast, wittily costumed by Andrea
Hood, delivering Lapine’s lines
and Sondheim’s score with verve.

The program lists two sound
designers, Scott Lehrer and Alex
Neumann, which feels particular-
ly apt, because the clarity with
which Sondheim’s lyrics reach
our ears is perhaps double the
norm. Have you ever experienced
what I call audibility fatigue at
the theater — the feeling of ex-
hausted defeat that sets in when
you lose half the words in musical
amplification issues or garbled
vocal execution? The opposite
occurs in the St. James: Sond-
heim’s poetry is rousingly con-
veyed, down to the last syllable of
recited rhyme.

“Into the Woods” is one of the
best known and most often per-
formed musicals in the Sondheim
canon, but it’s a family show only
if you want to explain some of
life’s complexities to the little
ones afterward. Lapine and
Sondheim devise a kingdom of
wishers: a childless baker (d’Arcy
James) and his wife (Bareilles); a
brutalized Cinderella (Soo); a
penniless homemaker (Aymee
Garcia) and her son, Jack, of
“Beanstalk” fame (Cole Thomp-
son); a wizened witch (Miller)
living under a curse. The writers
tie up almost everything in a
pretty bow when the wish list is
filled by the end of Act 1 — then
rip the bow to shreds in Act 2.

No one emerges unscathed.
“Wishes may bring problems
such that you regret them,” goes
the second-act opener, “better
that, though, than to never get
them.” The story follows our uni-
versal passage from childhood to
adulthood. We are cast out of the
land of make-believe and into a
world of tragic consequences. As
the kingdom unravels, beset by
that vengeful Giant (Annie Gold-
en), characters die, turn on each
other, and become more and
more confused. Life is a riddle,
but not always the amusing kind.

The show’s final sequences
have been forced into a curious
and not entirely persuasive mor-
al; then again, a muddle of things
may in the end be the best we
mortals can expect. Still, Lapine
and Sondheim create so many
embraceable characters, and the
score is so lovely, that any con-
cerns about plotting become mi-
nor. And that is especially true in
a version of “Into the Woods” that
fields nothing but champions.
Bareilles, for example, is a natu-
ral as the Baker’s Wife: The
performance is effortlessly warm
and funny, an embodiment of the
independent-mindedness and
humility that characterize the

Once I was hiking when I CLASSIC PEANUTS CHARLES SCHULZ MIKE DU JOUR MIKE LESTER
came to a large, fenced-
in pasture with a bull that
appeared to weigh three
tons. The owner had posted
a sign: “Fine with me for you
to cross this field for free. But
the bull charges.”
Too many declarers charge
ahead, playing in haste to
Trick One. In today’s deal,
West led the jack of clubs
against four spades: king, RHYMES WITH ORANGE HILARY PRICE MARK TRAIL JULES RIVERA

ace. East then led the 10 of
diamonds. South pondered
before putting in his jack,
but his play at that point
was moot. West took the Q-A
and led another club. South
pitched a heart on dummy’s
queen but still had a heart
loser. Down one.
Hasty play doomed South.
He must play dummy’s eight
on the first club. If West LIO MARK TATULLI MOTHER GOOSE & GRIMM MIKE PETERS

leads another club (he has
no better defense), South
ruffs East’s ace, draws
trumps and discards a dia-
mond on dummy’s high club.
If East overtook the first
club and led a diamond,
South would lose two dia-
monds but could get two
heart discards on the K-Q of
clubs.
Incidentally, I detoured HAGAR THE HORRIBLE CHRIS BROWNE BALDO HECTOR CANTU & CARLOS CASTELLANOS

DAILY QUESTION BLONDIE

You hold:
♠ 3 ♥ Q 10 8 6
♦ 10 9 8 3 ♣ A 7 6 4
Your partner opens one
spade, you responds 1NT
and he bids two hearts. What
do you say?
ANSWER: You might have a
game; partner could have as
many as 18 high-card points,
or he could have a bit of
extra strength and a five-card
heart suit. Still, if his hand
is minimum, eight tricks at
hearts may be the limit. Your
percentage action is to pass.
If you miss game, switch to
a bidding system other than
“Standard.”

DILBERT SCOTT ADAMS JUDGE PARKER
FRANCESCO MARCIULIANO & MIKE MANLEY BIRTHDAY | JULY 11
You have charm
and charisma.
You are friendly,
easygoing, kind

and generous. Although you
can be a dreamer, you are
actually focused, motivated
and ambitious. Service to
others, especially to family,
is your theme this year.
Therefore, take good care of
yourself. Perhaps it’s time for a
makeover.

Moon Alert: There are no
restrictions to shopping or
making important decisions
until 9:30 p.m. today. The
Moon is in Sagittarius.

FRAZZ JEF MALLETT CANDORVILLE DARRIN BELL ARIES
GARFIELD JIM DAVIS BARNEY AND CLYDE (MARCH 21-APRIL 19).
DUSTIN You’re pulled in two directions
STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN today. In one way, you’re in a
no-nonsense mood and want
to attend to practical matters.
Nevertheless, another part of
you wants to run away and join
the circus. It’s your call.
TAURUS
(APRIL 20-MAY 20).
Listen to your sense of
determination today, because
you want to set things straight
with financial matters,
banking issues, insurance and
inheritances. You have the
energy to make this happen,
and very likely, authority
figures will agree with you.

WEINGARTENS & CLARK GEMINI
(MAY 21-JUNE 20).
You have to accommodate
others today because the
Moon is opposite your sign.
However, all parties might
need to bow to the authority of
knowledge and wisdom today,
because teachers and experts
might have some good advice
for you.

CANCER
(JUNE 21-JULY 22).
This is a strong way to start
your week! The Sun and
Mercury are in your sign, which
means you are empowered
and ready to speak up about
whatever concerns you.

STAN LEE & ALEX SAVIUK LEO
(JULY 23-AUG. 22).
This is a good day to sit down
in a common-sense way and
discuss the financial and
everyday needs of children.
You might have this discussion
with a parent, a babysitter or
a partner.

PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS LOOSE PARTS DAVE BLAZEK VIRGO
(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).
An older relative or parent
might have practical advice
for you today. It never hurts
to listen, because they might
have some solid viewpoints
you didn’t consider. Why not
cover your bases and hear
what they have to offer?

LIBRA
(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).
You’re in the right frame of
mind today to talk to people
about practical issues. You
might even give someone
directions. Because you’re in
a calm, reflective mood today,
you might prefer being alone
with your own thoughts.

NON SEQUITUR WILEY BABY BLUES RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT SCORPIO
(OCT. 23-NOV. 21).
If shopping today, you will want
to buy long-lasting, practical
items. No frills, please. This is
because you feel thrifty and
sensible today, especially
when it comes to your money
and your personal wealth.

SAGITTARIUS
(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).
Today the Moon is in your
sign dancing nicely with stern
Saturn, which means you
will prefer the company of
serious people. You’ll be happy
to consult someone more
experienced for their advice.

BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE ON THE FASTRACK BILL HOLBROOK CAPRICORN
(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).
It will please you if you get
some time to be alone with
your thoughts today so
that you can do some quiet
meditation or rethink certain
issues. That’s because you’re
in a careful frame of mind
today.

BEETLE BAILEY MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER PEARLS BEFORE SWINE STEPHAN PASTIS AQUARIUS
(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).
This is a solid day to seek
the advice of someone older,
wiser or more experienced
than you. This person could
be a friend or a teacher. In
particular, you want to ponder
future goals and how practical
they might be.

PISCES
(FEB. 19-MARCH 20).
Discussions with bosses,
parents and VIPs will be
practical and fruitful for you
today. Since you are taking a
careful approach to any kind of
work that you do, you want to
make sure that you’re on the
right track so that there are no
regrets later.

Rooney
agrees
to coach
United

BY STEVEN GOFF

Former English superstar
Wayne Rooney agreed to contract
terms with D.C. United to become
its coach, reuniting him with the
MLS club for which he played in
2018 and 2019, people in the or-
ganization said Sunday.

Rooney arrived at Dulles Inter-
national Airport from London on
Sunday night and was greeted by
staff members Rory Molleda and
Sam Legg. In a brief interview
before being driven away, the
36-year-old said he has a “few
things to sort out” with the con-
tract but was looking forward to
the “challenge” of coaching Unit-
ed, which lost Friday at Philadel-
phia, 7-0, equaling an MLS record
for scoring margin.
