Arena Stage honored two District leaders facing career crossroads at its annual gala Monday night
Recently deposed Kennedy Center president Deborah Rutter danced to Gloria Gaynor’s disco anthem “I Will Survive,” while a frail Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton spoke feebly
and left attendees whispering about her future in office
“Tonight we celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of two trailblazing women,” said the actor Felicia Curry as the evening’s entertainment began in the Fichandler theater
the Tony Award-winning musical comedy actress who impersonates Melania Trump on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
but the two contrasting acceptance speeches quickly became talking points for those present
Norton stumbled through a short speech in which she appeared to struggle with both reading and comprehension
Mad Libs-style version of her intended remarks
came out as “Ethel N-E-W Burger Schwartz.” Norton also referred to grants from “the National Environment for the Arts” and praised Arena Stage for its contributions to “freedom of suppression and democracy.”
Sharif stared as one of her staffers assisted Norton off the stage to polite applause
She then awkwardly transitioned from presenting the Newburger Schwartz Award
given to a female leader who betters the community in which she lives and works
an honor bestowed on Rutter for her dedication to the arts and arts advocacy
“I think we need to find her a successor,” one theater administrator remarked of Norton at the afterparty
Rutter was surrounded by dancing actors and members of the Gay Men’s Chorus
the former Kennedy Center president thanked Sharif and executive producer Edgar Dobie for putting a bright spot on her calendar during dark times
“Your email came one week to the day of when I was”—Rutter paused for effect—”departed,” she said
“This was a beacon that has been so important for me.”
Former ambassador Ric Grenell serves as interim president
although he has yet to address the center’s staff
Grenell has accused Rutter of “going broke by going woke” and running the center into the red
(That is not accurate according to the most recent public tax records
which show a budget surplus.) The National Symphony and Washington National Opera
but the new regime has yet to schedule any theater and dance performances
which typically bring thousands of patrons to the Kennedy Center each week
Rutter’s track record for creating must-see DC entertainment is one reason why Arena Stage fêted her Monday night
Sharif praised her for expanding “Kennedy Center artistic programming to more accurately reflect the full spectrum of American performing arts…from Renée Fleming to Q-Tip.”
While she refrained from making fireworks statements about the president who “departed” her
she did admit to recently attending a performance incognito (“in a mask”) and mourned the loss of programming that Washington may never see
“We felt like we were on the crest of a wave,” she said
“We had so many great things that we were planning
things that we were so proud of and that we could see moving forward.”
a big question for liberal-leaning theater nerds was whether Benanti would go all out with her Melania impersonation
and perhaps even address Rutter in character
but her set did include parody of Stephen Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns,” sung by adding a Slovenian accent
sucking in her cheeks and pursing her lips
an expression the actress has called “resting Eastern European bitch face.”
tossing back her own brunette locks for emphasis
one hand raised to the woman who knows firsthand there’s no need to send in the clowns
The national treasure's unbelievably gorgeous gaff has just hit the property market - and it could be yours if you've got a spare £5 million
another piece of ravishing real estate to hit London’s property market
This particularly luxurious listing comes courtesy of comedian
Having lived in his stunning home in Wapping for 20 years
Norton is reportedly moving on to pastures new; leaving the picture-perfect pad to be snapped up by somebody else
somebody who has a spare £5 million kicking about
The jaw-droppingly gorgeous gaff dates all the way back to 1811 and – among other things – boasts four bedrooms

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 5, 2025) — When Delara Porter of Louisville faced life-threatening heart and kidney failure, a powerful collaboration between UK HealthCare’s Gill Heart & Vascular Institute and Norton Heart & Vascular Institute gave him a second chance
That sense of hope is something Delara and his wife
It started in 2019 with swelling in his legs after a long motorcycle trip
“I just thought I was tired from my trip because we were gone three weeks,” Delara said
But when he returned to his job as a driver for UPS
he felt more exhausted and run down than ever
A stress test ordered by his primary care provider in Louisville revealed something was seriously wrong
He was so fatigued that he couldn’t finish the test
He expected to hear back from his doctor in the next few days with the test results
Delara spent the next month in the hospital getting treatment for both heart and kidney failure
But the news got worse — the damage to his heart was too severe
An echocardiogram showed the cause of his heart failure. The muscular walls of the heart were very thick, which in turn led to inefficient pumping and blood circulation. Further testing uncovered a rare and complex underlying cause for his organ failure – hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis
a genetic disease in which abnormal proteins produced by the liver accumulate in the body’s organs
often undiagnosed until the damage is severe
The accumulation of these proteins in his heart was so gradual that even though Delara was born with amyloidosis
he didn’t start to feel the effects until his mid-50s
there was no alternative but to replace his heart and kidney
I would sit up in bed at night and watch him to make sure the covers were moving.”
Norton Healthcare cardiologist Kelly McCants, M.D., referred him to UK HealthCare in early 2022. Through the Gill Affiliate Network, Norton Healthcare and UK HealthCare collaborate to connect patients like Delara to specialists for further evaluation, while striving to keep care close to home for as long as possible. At UK HealthCare’s Transplant Center
Delara underwent evaluation for both a heart and a kidney transplant
The pre-transplant evaluation revealed a health issue known as smoldering myeloma
a precancerous condition in which plasma cells in the bone marrow divide too quickly and produce abnormal cells
These abnormal cells can in turn cause multiple myeloma
The complication was a serious problem — a cancer diagnosis could automatically make Delara ineligible for organ transplant
Organ transplant requires patients to take immunosuppressive medication to prevent rejection of the organ
this can actually kickstart the condition into full-blown cancer
The team of advanced heart failure and transplant cardiologists at UK were not ready to give up on Delara
nephrologists and surgeons from across the health care enterprise came together to discuss Delara’s case
The interdisciplinary team determined the risk of progression to cancer was extremely low and would not impact Delara’s long-term outcome
This approach allowed the team to move forward with transplantation
overcoming what had previously been seen as a barrier to care
he received a kidney from the same donor — a double transplant that saved his life
“They asked me if I wanted to listen to my heart,” he said
What does he think about having someone else’s organs in his body
“Whoever gave it to me wanted to help somebody else
I appreciate it because it gave me a second chance
and he and Donna got to ring in the new year at home
His care seamlessly transitioned from Norton specialists in Louisville to the advanced transplant team at UK HealthCare in Lexington — and back again to Norton for his post-transplant care
this statewide partnership made it possible for Delara to not only receive a rare double organ transplant
but to continue his recovery at home in Louisville — a true testament to the life-changing impact of coordinated care
He and Donna are deeply grateful for the donor who gave Delara a second chance and want others to understand the life-changing power of organ donation
“Organ donation gave us our life back,” Donna said
Delara now spends time with his children and grandchildren
and even started making plans for motorcycle trips again

We are living in a time of incredible pressure
it’s our children who are carrying the heaviest burden
Anxiety and depression levels among children and teens have skyrocketed over the past decade
and every credible study points to a clear set of culprits: social media
internet access and the ever-growing mountain of academic
It’s easy to point fingers at TikTok
relentless competition or even the unrealistic portrayals of “perfect” lives online
But if we’re serious about making a difference and truly loving and leading our families
we have to ask the harder question: Right here at home
The answer for most of us is probably not yet
Communication isn’t a “nice-to-have” in this battle for the hearts and minds of our children
And it’s not just communicating when there’s a problem
Our kids navigate a digital battlefield every day
The voices they hear the loudest are too often the ones telling them they’re not good enough
If we aren’t filling their emotional tanks every single day with hope
I will never forget an unforgettable moment I witnessed with the late
arguably one of the greatest motivational speakers ever
At a packed seminar with over 5,000 people
an audience member stepped up to the mic during a Q&A session
he thanked Zig for the impact Zig had on his own life
but explained that his son was struggling mightily to stay motivated
Zig’s response was nothing short of divine wisdom
I am so glad God entrusted me with your life
Zig encouraged him to do this every morning and every night
not when the child “deserved it.” Every day
And sitting right next to me was Zig’s son
Think about that: A father who never stopped telling his grown son how proud he was
If we want to lead and love our children in this chaotic world
They need to hear it when they get straight A’s.They need to hear it when they fail a test.They need to hear it when they make us proud.They need to hear it when they break our hearts.Especially when they break our hearts
Our communication must be an unrelenting flood of love
encouragement and reminders that they are more than enough
that no failure can separate them from our love
and that no outside voice is louder or stronger than the voice of their family cheering them on
but our ability to counteract them is real too
we might just raise a generation that can walk through the storm without losing their way
Let’s speak up, every day, every chance we get. Their future depends on it. I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com
When we intentionally communicate through the storm

The Longines Kentucky Oaks is a great day for Louisville
What started in 1875 as a race for 3-year-old fillies has grown into one of the longest-running sporting events in the United States
The flower of the day is the stargazer lily
fragrant bloom with dark pink stripes and speckles
While this botanical beauty may have given a start to the “pink” theme of the Oaks —inspiring pink dresses
jackets and ties — it has come to have a much deeper meaning
Oaks Day honors women who have survived or are in treatment for breast or ovarian cancer
You’ll see this year’s 151 honorees walking the turf track in the Survivors Parade prior to the running of this year’s Oaks race
This day also is an opportunity to talk about prevention and early detection of these cancers that affect nearly 300,000 people a year in the United States
Breast cancer alone is one of the top causes of cancer death in women — second only to lung cancer — according to the American Cancer Society
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show Kentucky’s rates of breast and ovarian cancer as similar to those of the entire nation: More than 133 women out of 100,000 women are expected to receive a new diagnosis of breast cancer in Kentucky this year
and 10 out of every 100,000 will get ovarian cancer
Churchill Downs has donated more than $1 million in support to charities over 16 years to fund cancer screenings and care for underserved women
We know that the breast cancer death rate has been on the decline since 1989
While there are constant innovations in cancer treatment
awareness and screenings have increased thanks to events such as the Kentucky Oaks — and the funding it raises
If you’re taking a trip to Churchill Downs for this year’s Oaks
But also be sure to recognize the importance of the pink (and teal) that you will wear

we announce the passing of Verdis Lamar Norton
who departed this life peacefully on Monday
Born under humble circumstances in the small town of LaPoint
Verdis was the eldest of seven children born to Lamar and Velma Norton
his parents instilled in him a strong work ethic at a very young age that remained with him for his entire life
was drafted into the second World War where he served under General Patton and was decorated with a Bronze Star for heroics in battle
His Father's military service had a lasting impact on his life
Verdis served his country in the United States Coast Guard - which was a formative early chapter that shaped his life-long discipline
then married the love of his life Bonnie Jo Hillstead on January 9
followed by Jon Arthur less than two years later
he put himself through college while balancing the challenges of full-time work and family
He earned a business degree from the University of Utah in 1966
Nancy Jo and Steven Tyler joined the family in 1967 and 1970 respectively
Throughout his life Bonnie remained his cornerstone-his wife of 64 years whose presence ensured their home was always warm
Their partnership nurtured not only a beautiful family but also extended love to all who entered their circle
Verdis was deeply committed to the responsibility of providing for his family
He coupled hard work with his gifts of critical thinking and drive to rise through the ranks into several senior leadership roles in the food industry - with companies such as General Foods
His 40 year plus career took him and his family literally from coast to coast in the United States and ultimately back to Park City
Utah where he and Bonnie "tried" to retire in 1997
At an age when most would be happy to be finished
Verdis brought his many decades of experience to bear on the founding of ASEA at age 69
He had a strong vision to help humanity with ASEA's unique cellular health technologies that are now sold in over 34 countries around the globe
ASEA has become a legacy company impacting millions of lives across the world through life changing products and humanitarian efforts on virtually every continent
Verdis was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
He and Bonnie served in many leadership positions including full-time missionary service as Directors of the Family Tree Center Genealogy Library on Main Street in Park City
Nothing brought Verdis more joy than his family
and their four children: Brad (Debbie) Norton
and Tyler (Allison) Norton and his siblings; Delmar (Connie) Norton
Wade (Debi) Norton and (Greg "Buzz") Butler
Verdis took immense pride in his nineteen grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren (with more on the way)
He was profoundly grateful for everyone who helped shape
What began as a humble startup is now a global force for good
and your continued belief in that mission was one of his greatest blessings

Jim Norton loved to tell stories from his life experience
and soon after was taken to the hospital in Aitken
MN because he wasn’t keeping any milk down
It was determined that Jim’s intestines were badly twisted but the Aitkin doctor had no idea how to treat this
he had recently heard about this kind of condition and called a doctor in New York
he was advised to do surgery on the infant in order to straighten out the intestines
Jim’s parents were home in McGregor with his 3-year old sister
They had no way to receive news of Jim’s condition but the U.S
They received a card telling them that baby Jim had survived the surgery and they could soon come get their baby
and one of his favorite little stories to tell was about him sitting at his school desk
looking out the window while the teacher “jabbered” on
“What the hell am I doing in here?!”
Perhaps the most fruitful thing that farm produced was the self-reliance and strong work ethic of the young Jim Norton
He proudly shared the story of his seven-year-old self raising a pig and selling it at auction
He said it was then that he realized he had what it took to support himself and make something of his life
After graduating high school he worked for a year in construction before joining the Army in 1953
During basic training the officer leading his unit on a ruck march got lost
“I told the captain he was going in the wrong direction
and I said ‘I’m an old coon hunter and I can get us back to the base.’” For that
Jim got a rifle butt slammed against his neck
This story was shared a lot since Jim was convinced that it was the cause of the neck pain he struggled with his whole life
After the army Jim took training in air conditioning and refrigeration at Dunwoody Institute in Minneapolis
In the summer of 1956 he was working on a road crew in west-central Minnesota
He and his workmates frequented a drugstore in Pelican Rapids
and it was there that he shared an ice-cream with Phyllis Anderson whose sister
He finished his studies in 1957 and they married in 1958
WI working for Jerry’s Refrigeration
MN where Jim took a position with Ace Refrigeration
changing the name to Norton’s Refrigeration
The five girls were raised in the house Jim and Phyllis purchased in 1961 on route 1 (later named Van Dyke Road)
Jim started purchasing and managing Alexandria area properties
Phyllis and the girls were frequently found painting
Jim even purchased Funland Mini Golf in 1972 so that his girls could experience employment at a young age and learn self-reliance and hard work just like he did as a kid
Jim joined a bowling team shortly after moving to Alex in 1960
and bowled with the same guys for several years
He said that in spite of long work days he never missed league bowling
and run out the door heading to Garden Center
Some of his fondest memories were of bowling in ABC tournaments in California
After selling his business in 1985 Jim and Phyllis enjoyed opportunities to travel
Some of their favorite trips were to Alaska
Retirement also gave him more time to fish
At the age of 77 he was an instrumental figure in getting the Alexandria Area Chapter of Let’s Go Fishing started
He was also a member of the Alexandria Vintage Car Club
and loved to show off his 1967 Ford truck that he refurbished
painted red like his original Norton’s Refrigeration vehicles
Up until October of 2024 he was tinkering with his 1957 Oldsmobile
In 1999 Jim and Phyllis built a new home just up the road and 3x the size of the Van Dyke Road house
Jim loved being involved in building his house
And nothing made him happier than his growing family gathering in this roomy house
When Phyllis required more daily living assistance she moved into Windmill Ponds in June 2024
Daughter Debbie moved into the house in September 2024
and VA Respite Care came alongside Debbie to assist with Jim’s needs
He was moved to Nelson Care Center by Vivie on March 31 where he died with family by his side on April 3
Phyllis LaVonne (Anderson) Norton; his daughters: Lynn (Bill) Thoennes of Alexandria
René (Phil) Johnson of Eagle Harbor
MN; and eleven grandchildren along with thirteen great-grandchildren: Jacob (Sherri) Thoennes of Sauk Centre

Texas football head coach Steve Sarkisian once famously said the Longhorns needed to recruit "big humans." Well
that's come to fruition recently with the likes of Kelvin Banks Jr.
Cameron Williams and Arizona transfer Bill Norton
a big defensive tackle for Texas this past season
has also decided to try to make his mark at the next level
"They already printed the money, you just got to go get it," said Norton in a light-hearted video on the Arizona YouTube channel during the 2023 season. That's what Norton will intend to do as he declared he'd enter the 2025 NFL draft on X on Jan
UT SEASON GRADES: Report card for Quinn Ewers, Steve Sarkisian, every position
335-pound defensive tackle came to the Longhorns via the transfer portal with a lot of experience
He won two national titles as part of Georgia's defensive line rotation and he spent a year with Arizona amassing some quality run-stopping stats
Norton didn't have the most productive year with Texas
but he came up big in big situations for the defense
including a fourth-down stop against Clemson in the College Football Playoff first round
Norton's lone career sack came in the same game
His size and athleticism could possibly land him on an NFL roster come April
Here's what to know about the Longhorn and how draft experts view his transition to the NFL:

A good run stopper who also has pass-rush moves
Weaknesses: Not very productive; only one sack in six years of college football. Lack of explosiveness on pass rush. Not as imposing as he could be with his size. In a highly touted transfer portal class for Texas, finished in the bottom half in terms of performance.
What our reporter noticed: Norton's the kind of player that could have a great game without recording a single stat
Such is the life of a big interior defensive lineman charged with stuffing the run
being a disruptor and providing a pass rush from the inside
Norton proved he could not only stop the run
If he shows an NFL team that he can take on double teams without getting bowled over
he could find his way into a D-line rotation on a consistent basis

as the District of Columbia’s congressional delegate in 1991
Eleanor Holmes Norton attended nearly 500 events
These weren’t just committee hearings on Capitol Hill
Already an accomplished civil-rights activist and law professor
Norton showed up to Advisory Neighborhood Commission meetings and church gatherings
She spent hours standing around the Cleveland Park Metro stop talking to constituents
“That was about making sure that residents knew me and knew I was going to work very hard for them,” Norton says
“That’s not quite as necessary anymore because I have quite a record to go by and they understand what I’m going to do.”
the 87-year-old Norton is serving her 18th term in Congress and spends far less time out and about
at a book launch for equal-employment-opportunity advocate Pierpont Mobley
she appeared to be unable to stand and get to the podium to speak
Norton attended a ribbon-cutting concert for the Go-Go Museum in Anacostia
Another attendee who’d worked closely with her for years said hello but felt sure she didn’t recognize him
Often called “the warrior on the Hill” by local politicians
Norton is DC’s only elected representative in Congress and just the second person to serve in the position since it was reestablished in 1971
She’s practically synonymous with her job: Over the last 35 years
Washingtonians have voted on 18 ballots that featured her name
Reflecting the District’s unique lack of federal say-so—best summed up by license plates reading taxation without representation—Norton can vote in committee but can’t cast actual votes on the House floor
sometimes advancing DC’s interests within the halls of federal power
at other times acting as its first line of defense
DC mayor Muriel Bowser agreed to tear up the yellow-lettered mural adorning Black Lives Matter Plaza
city officials learned that Congress was considering reducing their 2025 budget by $1 billion
Trump signed an executive order establishing a federal task force aimed at making the District “safe
beautiful and prosperous” by focusing on goals such as deporting illegal immigrants
and speeding up applications for carrying concealed weapons
Then there’s the Trump administration’s ongoing campaign to shrink the government and purge it of people insufficiently loyal to the President—an effort in which the world’s wealthiest man
has partnered with GOP politicians to blitz and break agencies such as USAID and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
a significant chunk of the area’s workforce
further threatening a region where the federal government accounts for some 40 percent of the economy
All of this has prompted many Washingtonians
who live in one of the nation’s politically bluest cities
to wonder whether Democrats are doing enough to fight back—a question that includes the city’s warrior on the Hill
a popular post on Reddit’s DC site asked: Where is Eleanor Holmes Norton
“She has been quiet lately,” says Beverly Perry
“I think she’s declining in health and it’s hard for her to navigate the political waters as she has in the past.”
Perry emphasizes that she’s speaking in her private capacity
Such is the respect Norton has earned over her distinguished career: Few prominent people in local politics are comfortable discussing her age
But even by the increasingly gerontocratic standards of national leadership
only 91-year-old Iowa Republican Chuck Grassley is older
Though some close to Norton express uncertainty about her running for reelection next year
she tells Washingtonian she plans to do so
Another victory is likely: In the last three Democratic primaries
she’s won between 79 and 98 percent of the vote
her age would raise a question—does she still have what it takes to fight for DC
I met Norton in her congressional office in the Rayburn building
and pictures of Norton’s two adult children
A DC-statehood-themed quilt hung on the wall above a doorway
What was Norton doing to defend the District from Republican attacks
She misspoke at times and once seemed confused when I switched topics mid-conversation
she made a case for continuing in her job—reaffirming her commitment to pushing for statehood
pointing to past successes at getting statehood bills passed in the House
and arguing that her experience and longevity are assets in a time of GOP rule and threats to home rule
Norton has been in the fight for a long time
Her great-grandfather Richard Holmes escaped enslavement in Virginia to walk to DC and find work as a free man
where they lived as well as Black Americans could during the Jim Crow 1930s
They owned a series of handsome townhouses in Columbia Heights
moving up the Georgia Avenue corridor toward the 16th Street “Gold Coast” as Eleanor grew older
was the closest thing DC’s segregated public-school system had to a prep school for Black kids
Ivy League universities recruited its students
and the overwhelming majority of its graduates went to college
Board of Education Supreme Court decision was announced
a progressive bastion in the small town of Yellow Springs
which was among the schools investigated by Senator Joseph McCarthy for alleged communist ties
Her friends were lefty Black and Jewish students who wore turtleneck sweaters
She headed the campus NAACP chapter—and in 1960 led sit-ins in segregated cafeterias in nearby Xenia
Norton spent her next decade at the center of the civil-rights movement
the key organizer of the March on Washington
and as a Yale law student in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)
she spent the summer of 1963 in Mississippi turning out voters and providing legal help
The day after Medgar Evers picked her up at the Jackson airport in June
she helped free Fannie Lou Hamer from jail in the town of Winona
“That’s how you seal a lifetime of commitment,” Norton later told her biographer
“When you’ve had a life-changing experience.”
New York mayor John Lindsay tapped Norton to head the city’s Human Rights Commission
She earned a reputation as a firebrand perfectionist with a blunt
approach—talking substantively to everyone
but seemingly unable to make small talk with anyone
was still held hostage by white Southern Democrats
Washingtonians decry their lack of federal power and representation
pointing out that DC is more populous than two states
the majority-Black District had a population greater than 11 states—including Nevada
and New Hampshire—and no locally elected officials
Residents couldn’t even vote for President
That stark disenfranchisement was still a recent memory when Norton returned to DC in 1977
President Jimmy Carter selected her as the first female head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
which Norton transformed from a small and neglected agency to the federal government’s primary civil-rights enforcer
shaping nascent sexual-harassment law in the process
But when Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980
It felt like the end of the era of civil-rights victories—and of liberal ascendance
She spent the Reagan years as a professor at Georgetown Law
Through old SNCC organizers and DC’s Black Democratic circles
Norton remained close to statehood advocates and came to feel she’d be an effective legislative leader
the first person to represent DC in Congress since 1875
Political operative Donna Brazile felt the delegate’s job had Norton’s name on it and convinced her to join the race
positioning her as an outsider despite her time under Carter
Donors included Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan
[Norton] would have been president of the United States.”
Norton was the frontrunner in the primary but was rocked by the revelation that she hadn’t filed DC income-tax returns for eight years
she’d understood that her husband had been handling their taxes and he’d betrayed her trust by failing to file
(Edward had also become less supportive of her political ambitions
and Eleanor never remarried.) The Washington Post endorsed DC Council member Betty Ann Kane the day before the primary—and even after Norton won in a squeaker
its columnists continued to write about her “representation without taxation.”
Norton entered office at the start of a rough decade for the District
which soon had a junk-bond credit rating and an $800 million budget shortfall
She was a freshman nonvoting delegate without many relationships in Congress
which was just 6 percent female and overwhelmingly white
It was a relative golden age of Capitol Hill cooperation and compromise
and Norton won hundreds of millions in new funding for DC while shepherding a bill to create the African American Civil War Memorial on U Street
she even got the House to vote on District statehood
who kept up the fight with Norton’s quiet advisory support
Then came 1994’s “Republican Revolution,” which gave the GOP a House majority for the first time since 1955
and did away with Norton’s and other delegates’ limited right to vote in the Committee of the Whole
a figure distrusted and dismissed by House Republicans
The District’s shrinking middle-class tax base and unchecked deficit spending had created a budget crisis
Congress was grumbling about a financial takeover
Norton successfully advocated for a different solution: a five-member control board overseeing the city’s finances
“She was critical in making sure that Congress didn’t take over the city,” says Tom Davis
a Virginia Republican who cosponsored several bills with Norton during the 1990s and 2000s
which stripped Barry of certain mayoral powers while having the federal government fund the District’s pension fund as well as court and prison costs
Home-rule hardliners and hostile congressional conservatives alike criticized both moves—but over time they helped ease DC’s financial woes
paving the way for an economic recovery around the turn of the millennium
Those who know Norton best often cite this period as a high point in her career
particularly her efforts to win over Gingrich as a behind-the-scenes “guardian angel” for the District
she has played offense and defense—including blocking a number of hostile riders on DC’s budgets—depending on the mood and makeup of Capitol Hill
Norton sees congressional threats to DC’s limited
hard-won sovereignty as “even more severe” than in the control-board era—and as a reason for her to remain in office
“[Trump] even talks about abolishing the DC government itself,” Norton says
n a video recorded from the window of a congressional building
a silver Ford Focus inches haltingly into a parking space
Every other car on the block is parked at a 45-degree angle to the curb
but the Focus is jammed in perpendicularly
its back end wedged against a parked red SUV
a suited aide frantically offers directions
She returns to get something from the driver’s seat and again walks off
Roll Call posted this video, titled “Congresswoman Demonstrates ‘Worst Parking Job Ever,’ ” to YouTube in 2015. Since watched more than 1.4 million times, it’s the sort of moment that could be electoral poison for an older politician, akin to Joe Biden’s painfully halting and garbled performance in the first 2024 presidential debate.
Her influence on Capitol Hill may be waning, too. Last year, Bowser’s office worked with Congress to promote legislation allowing the District to potentially bring a new Washington Commanders stadium to the federally controlled RFK Stadium site—encroaching on what has traditionally been Norton’s turf. Reaching across the aisle has long been one of her strengths, but when asked by Washingtonian to name a specific Republican member she currently works closely with, Norton declined to answer.
Many sources Washingtonian spoke to expressed private doubts about Norton’s fitness for office, but none would comment for attribution. Her strongest defenders touted her long record of accomplishments, not her current fitness. Washingtonian also contacted nearly a dozen former and current Norton staffers to discuss their experiences. None would.
In our interview, Norton said she remained committed to District statehood as well, never mind the long odds of that happening under unified GOP rule. “We’re not going to give up on it,” she said. “You shouldn’t stand down. You should be more determined than ever.”
n a snowy morning in February, Georgia Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene calls a House Oversight subcommittee hearing to order. The new subcommittee is named Delivering on Government Efficiency, uncoincidentally sharing its acronym with DOGE, the Musk-led outfit ram-paging through the federal bureaucracy.
Grandstanding about government waste, the Republicans in attendance question witnesses about welfare fraud. Democrats respond with some grandstanding of their own, asking why Greene and others were looking into the “$65 a day” someone’s grandmother might receive from Social Security—and not the millions of dollars in defense contracts awarded to Musk’s companies, Starlink and SpaceX.
Bernard Demczuk, a veteran professor and labor leader who has known Norton since the SNCC days, says his old friend sees her job as her life’s mission. Departing would be surrendering. “She was always pissed, which is exactly what I enjoy about her,” Demczuk says. “She’s always angry at injustice and always pissed at unfairness.”
as the District of Columbia’s congressional delegate in 1991, Eleanor Holmes Norton attended nearly 500 events. These weren’t just committee hearings on Capitol Hill.

If Norton should seek a 19th term, her age would raise a question—does she still have what it takes to fight for DC?
ne morning in January, I met Norton in her congressional office in the Rayburn building. It felt warm and lived-in. The sofas and armchairs were worn, with fabric pilling in places. There were commemorative tokens, decorative plants, and pictures of Norton’s two adult children, along with historic photos of the city. A DC-statehood-themed quilt hung on the wall above a doorway.
I came with questions. What was Norton doing to defend the District from Republican attacks? Why did she want to run again? Would she fight Trump whenever possible? Or take a more conciliatory approach?
Norton chose Antioch College, a progressive bastion in the small town of Yellow Springs, Ohio, which was among the schools investigated by Senator Joseph McCarthy for alleged communist ties. Her friends were lefty Black and Jewish students who wore turtleneck sweaters, jeans, and long skirts, looking the part of 1950s bohemians. She headed the campus NAACP chapter—and in 1960 led sit-ins in segregated cafeterias in nearby Xenia, Ohio, inspired by the Greensboro Four.

Outside the car, a suited aide frantically offers directions, striding around and gesticulating.
Norton steps out of the car and locks it. She shuffles away, then stops and glances back at the car, still stuck at a 90-degree angle. She returns to get something from the driver’s seat and again walks off, her aide in tow.

There are hundreds of antivirus softwares out there, providing services like virus detection, malware removal, and protection from ransomware
each product purports to do the best job at keeping you and your devices safe
and that’s why as digital security experts
we’ve made it our priority to evaluate which antivirus software you should use and which ones you should stay clear of
we’ll be looking at two popular antivirus programs
to see how they stack up against each other
installing them both on our computers and on our phones
and put them through a number of tests to determine ease of installation
Webroot’s SecureAnywhere pricing breakdown is pretty straightforward
There are four products you can select from: Basic Antivirus for $29.99
Plus Antivirus for $41.99 on three devices
Premium (Antivirus + ID Protection) for $64.99
and Premium Family (Antivirus + ID Protection) for $124.99
you can purchase Norton Antivirus Plus for $29.99 on one device
there’s Norton 360 Deluxe and Norton 360 Premium
is priced at $99.99 and provides protection on up to 10 devices
We’ve put together a table which breaks down more features of these programs:
someone has their identity stolen every 4 seconds.1 Even more disturbingly
60 percent of victims don’t find out about the identity theft until three or more months have gone by
Dark Web Monitoring: Both Webroot and Norton provide robust dark web monitoring
especially as you get into the higher tiers
Dark web monitoring checks for any unscrupulous actor searching, tracking, or storing your (or your organization’s) information on the dark web
This information might include compromised passwords
>> Related Reading: Norton Password Manager Review
Both Webroot and Norton have high quality Dark Web Monitoring tools with Webroot’s highest tier product
Webroot Premium Family (Antivirus + ID Protection)
providing a suite of identity protection tools
These tools include financial monitoring with account takeover alerts
and up to $1 million in identity theft expense reimbursement
or date of birth are used in applications for credit or services
It also protects your investments by alerting you to potentially fraudulent cash withdrawals and balance transfers
Secure VPN: One area where Norton stands out is by providing a secure VPN
starting all the way down with Norton 360 Standard
Webroot doesn’t offer a VPN bundled with its antivirus software
but does offer Webroot WiFi Security at an additional cost of $35.99
>> Read More: Our Best VPN Picks
Here comes the fun part: putting both Webroot and Norton to work performing a scan
it’s worth noting that Webroot installed on our Mac at lighting speed
The app only takes up about 20 MB of storage
took about 15 minutes for a full system scan
Norton’s scans were significantly faster than Webroot’s scans
Norton found no viruses (phew!) on our Mac
flagged a Bitdefender file from a previous comparison as dangerous
>> Recommended: Best Norton Antivirus Alternatives
The next step for us was to actually install some real live viruses on our Mac and see how Webroot and Norton Antivirus tangoed with them
we used five different files that contained a mix of malware
We then moved on to Norton and those same five viruses
We then opened up our examination to the broader network and looked at scores from independent software testing lab
Webroot: Though AV-Test hasn’t looked at Webroot in a few years
Webroot received 81.1 percent and 66.5 percent scores in protection against zero-day malware attacks
including web and email threats.2 Webroot scored much better in the detection realm
receiving a 99.3 percent and 98.9 percent in detection of malware.2
It received a 100 percent score on protection against zero-day malware attacks
It also received a 100 percent score in 100 percent score in detection of widespread and prevalent
going mobile with Webroot was also a blazing fast process
with the app installed from the App Store onto our device seamlessly
Norton’s web app stood out in how easily it was to use our account information and smoothly transition to another device
After a fun time getting our feet wet with Webroot and Norton Antivirus
it’s time to start tabulating our results here and picking our winner
Ease of Installation: Webroot boasted about a lighting fast installation speed and they didn’t lie
We were already up and playing with the software while Norton was still getting going
Scanning Speed: Norton finished a full system scan about 45 minutes before Webroot
Range of Features: We were impressed with Norton and Webroot’s identity protection features in their higher-end products
Antivirus Protection and Detection Strength: Norton takes the win in this category
both in our test and an independent analysis by AV-Test
For more details on both of these programs

Norton scanned significantly faster in our tests
Webroot scored a 20 percent on our virus detection test
Both Norton and Webroot provide strong identity protection through Webroot Premium Family (Antivirus + ID Protection) and Norton 360 LifeLock Select

Robert “Bob” Lee Norton was born a fighter on Aug 3
1928 (at 2.5 lbs.) & he died a fighter on Nov 27
Bob was never happier than when he was on the water: swimming
boating & fishing (never sitting still of course) and then music of all types
playing guitar and harmonica with the Gateway Harmonica Club for 18 years
He had learned how to play the harmonica by ear as a boy
He sorely missed the camaraderie of the Gateway Harmonica Club’s members of late
But he’d been missing the quips and jokes of relationships with both friends & family for some time
He didn’t cook or grill but was accused many times of eating more than his share of fish at a backyard fish fry
Bob was raised by a foster family so it was a special delight to him to be accepted and included into his wife’s large Decker family (Bennie was 1 of 8 children) and he learned to hunt with her brothers – a requirement
Bob passed his GED (high school equivalent) shortly after completing his military service
He joined the Army at 17 for 1.5 years and then served in the Air Force for five years: of which 3.5 years were in Japan (although he didn’t master snow skiing
he enjoyed seeing new lands) and 1.5 years in Biloxi
Near water & unlimited fishing options – he was ecstatic
He worked as a forklift operator for Gaylord Box for 14 years & then worked for Laclede Gas for 20 years
Bob retired at age 60 & spent time with family
Bob had a positive outlook on life and a funny natural wit that came out each and every day
“Angels will be playing the harmonica when they welcome Bob.”
Services: Visitation at Kutis South County Chapel (5255 Lemay Ferry) Tuesday
Interment Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery
I have many fond memories of Bob with his Harmonica
His favorite song to play with La vie en Rose
but he will always be with us and thought and prayers may his memory be eternal
From Sharon and Jeanette Grzechowiak sending our condolences to Chris and Benny you are in our thoughts and prayers.
A great friend and a great harmonica player
My life has been better because you were a part of it

He is buying a new Windows PC and he’s thinking of investing in new antivirus software
and he asked me what I used for antivirus software
He had his last PC for more than 10 years and he had been using one of the large antivirus suites that was charging him by the year
AVG and Bitdefender have antivirus and security solutions that can help keep your PC safe
but those features overlap with a lot of the features of Windows’ built-in Defender product
If you search for recommendations for the best antivirus suite

Likewise, if you search for, “do I need antivirus software,” you’ll find some pretty good arguments that you can go without it.
I think you need to examine your individual use case as you shop for antivirus and security software.
My personal recommendation is most home users really do not need to pay for antivirus or security software.
Microsoft and Apple provide built-in antivirus solutions. Browsers like Google Chrome and others do a really good job of warning you when you’re wading into dangerous territory online. Email providers like Google, Microsoft and Yahoo scan your email for dangerous attachments.
If you’re running Windows 11 (and you do need to be running Windows 11), you can go to your Settings and then Privacy and Security and then Windows Security to see a dashboard of the different security categories monitored by Windows Security.
If you click the Virus & Threat Protection, you’ll see the last scan and results as well when the virus definitions were last updated. There are red, yellow and green status icons for each section, so you can see at a glance any areas that need your attention. Just make sure you keep current with updates.
Likewise for Apple computers. Just keep current on your operating system and security updates from Apple.
What happens if you click on something in a browser and you start getting strange pop-ups or web pages redirect you to some scammy ad page? That can happen, and for those instances, I download and use Malwarebytes, which can scan and repair your system when you suspect you’ve clicked on something bad.
Malwarebytes has a free version (for Mac or Windows), and you should try it if you need it. I do recommend paying for it if you need it on a regular basis, but I don’t recommend leaving it installed on your computer. When I’ve had to use it, I’d load it, run it and let it clean up and then uninstall it.
I just don’t think any software that’s running on your system and doing largely the same thing as the built-in security software is a good thing. In my experience, third-party live antivirus protection apps can and do slow things down.
I fully expect many of you will disagree with me, and I don’t mind. Erring on the side of caution is not a bad thing.
If you use your computer for a small business, or you make your living using your computer, you may feel safer with a security suite installed. I don’t have a problem with you using any software that helps you feel safer online.

Our digital-security team compared antivirus programs Malwarebytes and Norton head to head
There are hundreds of antivirus software out there
ranging from titans such as Norton and McAfee to more obscure ones such as Sophos out of the U.K
we want to help you get a sense of the best digital security tools available
so we’re comparing head to head two antivirus programs
we’ll deliver a verdict on which one you should go with
starting with Basic Security ($44.99) and ending with Complete Protection ($119.99)
starting with AntiVirus Plus for $19.99 (which works on one device) and going all the way up to 360 With LifeLock Ultimate Plus for $299.88 (which works on unlimited devices)
Range and flexibility will be a common theme when it comes to Norton
and one of the areas in which the program separates itself from the field
including when stacked against Malwarebytes
The good news is that each program is always running promotions
so you can take them for a spin before you make a full commitment
Below is a table with more detail on the pricing and features of various Malwarebytes and Norton antivirus products
Think of Malwarebytes as a reliable antivirus program that’s a bit more bare-bones than Norton
It has a very friendly user interface with a simple and clear dashboard that shows the last time you’ve scanned your device
which ranges from poor to excellent based on the protection features you have enabled
That helps clarify Malwarebytes features and leaves no ambiguity
We tried Norton 360 Deluxe and found the interface to be a little less inviting
especially when using the newer My Norton interface
Luckily there’s an option to turn it back to Classic (yes
Norton does a great job of showing how many devices it’s installed on and makes the process of adding a new device crystal clear
you can even screenshot a QR code for easy installation

smaller pieces of data that come up when you browse the internet
There are different types of firewalls based on how they inspect data packets
There’s stateless packet inspection (SPI) and deep packet inspection (DPI)
Initiating a scan with Malwarebytes was a breeze
it took a quick two minutes and 23 seconds to scan 275,000 files
suggesting that Malwarebytes does a quick scan of new files at times
initiate a scheduled scan through settings
We appreciated that in our advanced settings
Malwarebytes showed us how much CPU we were using
but it may slow down system performance on older computers
We saw that CPU usage peaked at nearly 80 percent during our test
but we didn’t notice any slowdowns on a pretty serviceable computer we were using
Malwarebytes also offers real-time protection
which focuses on malware protection and app blocks
Malware protection: This layer of protection on Malwarebytes blocks malware
App blocks: This layer on Malwarebytes blocks malicious applications from bad developers
It has the option for both a quick scan and a full system scan
Our full scan on Norton Deluxe 360 took 15 minutes and scanned quite a bit more of our hard drive — over 1 million files
Norton also offers the option to schedule a scan
Now we come to the fun part: assessing Malwarebytes’ and Norton’s ability to detect and prevent viruses
let’s talk about what the industry is saying
which runs real-world protection tests of the leading antivirus software
The test aims to find out how effective the products are in protecting computers against active real-world malware threats while using the internet
Here’s what they found about Norton and Malwarebytes:
Our experts did their own test of Malwarebytes by installing five different viruses
In that analysis,3 Malwarebytes managed to detect only one — just a 20 percent success rate
Norton detected three out of five4 — a 60% success rate
especially since only a small percentage of the dozens of software we’ve tested have detected 100 percent of the five viruses
Norton is at least on par with the competition
Malwarebytes has pretty basic customer-service options
and it lacks even a toll-free customer-service line
Instead you can chat with an agent or an AI chatbot
let’s review where we are with Malwarebytes and Norton Antivirus across several categories
Antivirus scan speed: Malwarebytes takes this one
The one concern is the lack of different types of deeper scans you can perform on the system
Pricing: At similar price points across their bundles
both Malwarebytes and Norton are affordable and offer good value
Range of features: There’s a question of pricing
Norton offers a lot more services at each of its price points
with VPN and firewall options coming into the picture fairly early on
Antivirus-detection strength: Norton delivers better here
offering deeper scan options and performing much better in our tests

University of Illinois computer science students Marcin Kleczynski and Bruce Harrison founded Malwarebytes in 2008
but it should be only one component of a broader suite of tools to ensure maximum digital security
Norton edges out Malwarebytes with better virus detection in our testing
Malwarebytes is a solid antivirus program if you’re not looking for additional features
and it’s more reliable when it comes to detection
