La industria petrolera de EU urgió a su gobierno a interceder por sus empresas y exhortar a México para que cumpla y respete los acuerdos internacionales.
El American Petroleum Institute (API) hizo una segunda petición –la primera fue en junio de 2020– por la afectación que sufrirán sus agre-miados por la Ley de Hidrocarbu-ros. Mike Sommers, presidente de la API, envió una carta a secretarios de Estado y a la representante de comercio de EU para que se haga valer el T-MEC. La API ha generado ya 50 solicitudes de amparo.
Sommers pidió que en la próxi-ma reunión de la Comisión de Libre Comercio que acordaron Tatiana Clouthier, secretaria de Economía, y Katherine Tai, representante co-mercial de EU, el tema sea energía.
“Es un llamado de atención de lo que sería un arbitraje de inversión de gran calado”, advirtió Miriam Grunstein, abogada de Brilliant Energy Consulting.

When Andrew Yang para-chuted into the New York Citymayor’s race from a losing presi-dential campaign, he was a knownnational quantity but unknown inthe insular world of local politics.
He did not rise from a politicalclub, had never run for local officeand had no established base of fi-nancial or political support in the
city. He had never even voted in amayoral election.
But he had one major assetworking in his favor: He hadjoined forces with Bradley Tusk, apowerful New York political strat-egist, lobbyist and venture capi-
talist whose investments couldhinge on government action.
Mr. Yang leads most earlypolling in a race for mayor that isless than seven weeks away. ButMr. Tusk’s personal business con-cerns could present significant po-tential conflicts of interest shouldMr. Yang be elected mayor.
Mr. Tusk, 47, has an expansivepolitical and financial portfolio.He worked for Senator ChuckSchumer as his communications

Untrained citizens are trying tofind traces of bamboo on lastyear’s ballots, seemingly trying toprove a conspiracy theory that theelection was tainted by fake votesfrom Asia. Thousands of ballotsare left unattended and unse-cured. People with open partisanbias, including a man who wasphotographed on the Capitol stepsduring the Jan. 6 riot, are doing
the recounting.All of these issues with the Re-
publican-backed re-examinationof the November election resultsfrom Arizona’s most populouscounty were laid out this week byKatie Hobbs, Arizona’s Democrat-
ic secretary of state, in a scathingsix-page letter.
Ms. Hobbs called the process “asignificant departure from stand-ard best practices.”
“Though conspiracy theoristsare undoubtedly cheering onthese types of inspections — andperhaps providing financial sup-port because of their use — theydo little other than further mar-ginalize the professionalism andintent of this ‘audit,’” she wrote to

Atop a long-dormant volcano innorthern Nevada, workers arepreparing to start blasting anddigging out a giant pit that willserve as the first new large-scalelithium mine in the United Statesin more than a decade — a new do-mestic supply of an essential in-gredient in electric car batteriesand renewable energy.
The mine, constructed onleased federal lands, could helpaddress the near total reliance bythe United States on foreignsources of lithium.
But the project, known asLithium Americas, has drawn pro-tests from members of a Native
American tribe, ranchers and en-vironmental groups because it isexpected to use billions of gallonsof precious ground water, poten-tially contaminating some of it for300 years, while leaving behind agiant mound of waste.
“Blowing up a mountain isn’tgreen, no matter how much mar-keting spin people put on it,” saidMax Wilbert, who has been livingin a tent on the proposed mine sitewhile two lawsuits seeking to
block the project wend their waythrough federal courts.
The fight over the Nevada mineis emblematic of a fundamentaltension surfacing around theworld: Electric cars and renew-able energy may not be as greenas they appear. Production of rawmaterials like lithium, cobalt andnickel that are essential to thesetechnologies are often ruinous toland, water, wildlife and people.
That environmental toll has of-ten been overlooked in part be-cause there is a race underwayamong the United States, China,Europe and other major powers.Echoing past contests and warsover gold and oil, governmentsare fighting for supremacy overminerals that could help countries

Every night at 8, the stern-facednewscaster on Myanmar militaryTV announces the day’s hunted.The mug shots of those chargedwith political crimes appear on-screen. Among them are doctors,students, beauty queens, actors,reporters, even a pair of makeupbloggers.
Some of the faces look puffy andbruised, the likely result of inter-rogations. They are a warning notto oppose the military junta thatseized power in a Feb. 1 coup andimprisoned the country’s civilianleaders.
As the midnight insects trill, thehunt intensifies. Military censorssever the internet across most ofMyanmar, matching the darknessoutside with an information black-out. Soldiers sweep through thecities, arresting, abducting andassaulting with slingshots and ri-fles.
The nightly banging on doors,as arbitrary as it is dreaded, gal-vanizes a frenzy of self-preserva-tion. Residents delete their Face-book accounts, destroy incrimi-nating mobile phone cards anderase traces of support for Myan-mar’s elected government. Assleep proves elusive, it’s as ifmuch of the nation were sufferinga collective insomnia.
Little more than a decade ago,the most innocuous of infractions— owning a photograph of pro-de-mocracy leader Daw Aung SanSuu Kyi or an unregistered cell-phone or a single note of foreigncurrency — could mean a prisonsentence. Some of the military’sOrwellian diktats rivaled those ofNorth Korea.

WASHINGTON — Quality-con-trol problems at a Baltimore plantmanufacturing Covid-19 vaccineshave led health officials on threecontinents to pause the distribu-tion of millions of Johnson & John-son doses, as the troubles of a po-litically connected U.S. contractorripple across the world.
Doses made at the plant ownedby Emergent BioSolutions havenot been cleared by the Food andDrug Administration for use in theUnited States, and the Biden ad-ministration has repeatedly as-sured Americans that none of theJohnson & Johnson shots admin-istered domestically were madethere.
But millions of doses have beenshipped abroad, including to Can-ada, the European Union andSouth Africa. Regulators in vari-ous countries are now working toensure that those doses are safeafter the disclosure in March thatworkers at the Baltimore plant ac-cidentally contaminated a batchof Johnson & Johnson’s vaccinewith the harmless virus used tomanufacture AstraZeneca’s. Bothvaccines were produced at thesame site. The mistake forcedEmergent to throw out up to 15million Johnson & Johnson dosesafter tests showed that the batchfailed to meet purity require-ments.
E.U. officials, as well as those inCanada and South Africa, saidthere was no evidence that any ofthe doses they had received weretainted. But the problems identi-fied in Baltimore have slowed

As American companies pre-pare to bring large numbers ofworkers back to the office in thecoming months, executives arefacing one of their most delicatepandemic-related decisions:Should they require employees tobe vaccinated?
Take the case of United Airlines.In January, the chief executive,Scott Kirby, indicated at a com-pany town hall that he wanted torequire all of his roughly 96,000employees to get coronavirus vac-cines once they became widelyavailable.
“I think it’s the right thing todo,” Mr. Kirby said, before urgingother corporations to follow suit.
It has been four months. No ma-jor airlines have made a similarpledge — and United Airlines iswaffling.
“It’s still something we are con-sidering, but no final decisionshave been made,” a spokeswom-an, Leslie Scott, said.
For the country’s largest com-panies, mandatory vaccinationswould protect service workersand lower the anxiety for return-ing office employees. That in-cludes those who have been vacci-nated but may be reluctant to re-turn without knowing whethertheir colleagues have as well. And
there is a public service element:The goal of herd immunity hasslipped as the pace of vaccinationshas slowed.
But making vaccinations man-datory could risk a backlash, andperhaps even litigation, fromthose who view it as an invasion ofprivacy and a Big Brother-likemove to control the lives of em-ployees.
In polls, executives show a will-ingness to require vaccinations.In a survey of 1,339 employersconducted by Arizona State Uni-versity’s College of Health Solu-tions and funded by the Rockefel-ler Foundation, 44 percent of U.S.respondents said they planned tomandate vaccinations for theircompanies. In a separate poll of446 employers conducted byWillis Towers Watson, a risk-man-agement firm, 23 percent of re-

BUSINESS INSIDE: Peloton took too long to recall its treadmill, David Lazarus writes. A8
After his son was shot
and killed in October, Fred
Williams Jr. asked the Los
Angeles County Sheriff ’s
Department for the name of
the deputy who pulled the
trigger.
But sheriff ’s officials re-
fused to identify the deputy,
making it nearly impossible
for Williams to learn any-
thing about him. Had he
been in prior shootings? Was
there a history of abuse?
“That’s exactly why me
and my attorneys are press-
ing for the officer’s name: So
we can dig into his back-
ground,” Williams said.
The secrecy Williams
encountered is standard
within the Sheriff ’s Depart-
ment, which routinely re-
jects requests from relatives
of people who are shot, jour-
nalists and other members
of the public to learn the
names of deputies who open
fire while on duty.
The practice, which
Sheriff Alex Villanueva has
staunchly upheld since he
took office in late 2018, runs
afoul of a state Supreme
Court ruling that generally
requires such disclosures be
made, experts say.
It also makes the Sher-
iff ’s Department an outlier
among some of California’s
largest law enforcement
agencies. A Los Angeles
Times review found they
readily make the names of
officers and deputies public
following shootings.
The Sheriff Depart-
ment’s secrecy has come
under increased scrutiny
over the last year as wide-
spread anger over high-
profile police killings around
the U.S. has given rise to
demands for greater trans-
parency by law enforcement.
For departments looking to
quell anger in the aftermath
of a shooting, it has become
a basic first move for many
to release the names of the

SAN FRANCISCO — On an unseason-
ably warm day in March, Michael Johnson
lay in his tent, sweat dripping down his
face, on Minna alley just off 6th Street in
San Francisco’s Soma neighborhood.
As they often do, a team of city outreach
workers, sanitation workers, cops and a
firefighter swarmed the alley, which was
lined with tents. They were there to offer
unhoused San Franciscans a choice.
They could accept an offer of some form
of shelter, or they could take down their
tents and move along. What people like
Johnson, who has been homeless two
years, couldn’t do was stay on this street,
where the sidewalk was blocked by dozens
of garbage bags. A power washing of the
block and a collection of trash would take
place after the people departed.
“The point is I want you out of the
street, big homie,” one outreach worker
told Johnson.
The 38-year-old understood. He pulled
down his tent, grabbed his bike and back-
pack and prepared to move along — but
not before grabbing an ice cream from a
nearby store.
Instead of going to a large congregate
shelter or a hotel, Johnson boarded a bus

It all seemed so promis-
ing a month ago when Cal
State L.A. announced its
plans for graduation. An
event in the landmark Rose
Bowl, not only for the class of
2021 but also the forgotten
class of 2020. Speeches. Mu-
sic. Congratulations galore
from family and friends.
Maybe even some jum-
botron action.
But this week, Cal State
L.A. made clear what was ac-
tually in store for the Rose
Bowl ceremony: No guests.
No names read aloud. No
walks across the stage.
So much outrage erupted
that in an abrupt about-
face, university officials can-
celed the Rose Bowl gradua-
tion altogether — and is re-
verting to a virtual event,
with plans for an in-person
ceremony at a future date
with “elements that gradu-
ates treasure.”
“WHAT is the point of at-
tending the commencement
if NOTHING will be done
there??” a parent asked on
Twitter. “SO disappointed.”

Caitlyn Jenner found out
this week that running for
governor is trickier than ap-
pearing on reality television.
During her first major
television interview — an on-
air embrace on the Fox News
“Hannity” show Wednesday
— Jenner lamented that a
friend is leaving California
because he hates seeing “the
homeless” when he walks
down the street. She was in-
terviewed in her private air-
plane hangar. The friend has
one, too. But he’s packing it
up for a move to Sedona,
Ariz.
When asked by TMZ on
Sunday whether trans girls
should be allowed to com-
pete in sports, the 71-year-
old said “it just isn’t fair. And
we have to protect girls’
sports in our schools.” Yet
the transgender Olympic
athlete has competed in
women’s golf tournaments,
in particular the LPGA
Tour’s ANA Inspiration
tournament in Rancho Mi-
rage.
Jenner did not respond
when asked about the LPGA
tournament during an inter-

This is the story of a journey from igno-
rance to understanding. It’s about ques-
tioning beliefs, and radical rethinking.
It’s about parenthood and childhood and
the pandemic.
But ultimately, it’s about video games.
My 12-year-old son has always loved video games,
but during the pandemic that love intensified. After
hours of staring at a screen for Zoom school, he
couldn’t wait to open his laptop again to play
“Minecraft,” Roblox or “Pixel Gun 3D.” At the dinner
table he often reported that the best thing that
happened to him that day occurred in the virtual
world.
