YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio —The scene was an all-too-familiarone on the streets of America’s cit-ies: a black suspect on the ground,roughed up by white police offi-cers as an angry crowd looked on.

But Yellow Springs is a tiny, pre-dominantly white village, and thearrest at the annual New Year’sstreet celebration was an awak-ening to many who live here.

Dozens of residents criticizedthe police on Facebook, accusingofficers of carrying an “us versusthem” attitude. Hundreds packeda gym for a Village Council meet-ing to denounce the episode for,among other things, the psycho-logical damage it had on their chil-dren. When the police chief, un-used to such fury, offered his res-ignation, the audience cheered.

Issa Walker, 28, a YellowSprings native who is black, wrotethe hashtag #WhiteFolksHere-AintHavinIt beneath a picture ofthe meeting he posted to Face-book.

But in the consensus over theneed for less aggressive policing,there were subtle differences inperspective: White residentswere complaining largely aboutthe officers’ violation of socialnorms in a laid-back town, whileblack residents focused on whatthey saw as a racially biased forcethat targets them regularly.

WASHINGTON — PresidentTrump loves to set the day’s nar-rative at dawn, but the deeperstory of his White House is besttold at night.

Aides confer in the dark be-cause they cannot figure out howto operate the light switches in thecabinet room. Visitors concludetheir meetings and then wanderaround, testing doorknobs untilfinding one that leads to an exit. Ina darkened, mostly empty WestWing, Mr. Trump’s provocativechief strategist, Stephen K. Ban-non, finishes another 16-hour dayplanning new lines of attack.

Usually around 6:30 p.m., orsometimes later, Mr. Trump re-tires upstairs to the residence torecharge, vent and use Twitter.With his wife, Melania, and youngson, Barron, staying in New York,he is almost always by himself,sometimes in the protective pres-ence of his imposing longtime aideand former security chief, KeithSchiller. When Mr. Trump is notwatching television in hisbathrobe or on his phone reachingout to old campaign hands and ad-visers, he will sometimes set off toexplore the unfamiliar surround-ings of his new home.

During his first two dizzyingweeks in office, Mr. Trump, an out-sider president working with asurprisingly small crew of nomore than a half-dozen empow-ered aides with virtually no famil-iarity with the workings of theWhite House or federal govern-ment, sent shock waves at homeand overseas with a succession ofexecutive orders designed to ful-

WASHINGTON — PresidentTrump is barreling into a con-frontation with the courts barelytwo weeks after taking office, fore-shadowing years of legal battlesas an administration determinedto disrupt the existing orderpresses the boundaries of execu-tive power.

Lawyers for the administrationwere ordered to submit a brief onMonday defending Mr. Trump’sorder temporarily banning ref-ugees from around the world andall visitors from seven predomi-nantly Muslim countries from en-tering the United States. An ap-peals court in California refusedon Sunday to reinstate the ban af-ter a lower court blocked it.

As people from the countriestargeted by Mr. Trump struggledto make their way to the UnitedStates while they could, the presi-dent for the second day in a rowexpressed rage at the judge in thecase, this time accusing him of en-dangering national security. VicePresident Mike Pence defendedthe president’s tone, but lawyers

MORRISTOWN, N.J. — Forweeks, a swelling group has beenshowing up every Friday here atthe local office of RepresentativeRodney Frelinghuysen to demandthat he hold a town-hall meeting toanswer concerns about his fellowRepublicans’ plan to dismantlethe Affordable Care Act.

After weeks without an answer,the congressman’s staff repliedthat he would be too busy, thatsuch gatherings took consider-able planning and that just findinga meeting place could be tough.

So the group, NJ 11th forChange, secured venues in all four

counties that Mr. Frelinghuysenrepresents for times during thecongressional recess this month— and constituents plan to showup even if he does not.

With congressional phone linesoverloaded and district officesmobbed across the country, it’s be-ginning to look a lot like 2009.

That year, horrified by a newpresident they saw as a radical,activists took to the streets underthe Tea Party banner to protestgovernment bailouts, thenstormed summer town-hall meet-ings held by congressional Demo-

The rush inundated some do-mestic and international airports,reunited loved ones and friends,and prompted another round ofcriticism from Mr. Trump that na-tional security was being endan-gered by court orders that blockedhis tight border policy from taking

HOUSTON — The chants rangout loud and long at NRG Stadiumin Houston until a wall of soundenveloped a team and a quarter-back on a mission. “Brady, Brady,”the fans screamed, and it is in mo-ments like this — the first over-time in Super Bowl history — thatTom Brady seems most comfort-able, as if lounging on his sofa inhis beloved Uggs.

In his previous four Super Bowlvictories, Brady led the New Eng-land Patriots to fourth-quartercomebacks. However sublime,those efforts against the Rams,the Panthers, the Eagles and theSeahawks all seemed quaint be-fore Sunday night, when Bradystunned the Atlanta Falcons toscript the greatest comeback inSuper Bowl history.

When New England running

back James White sneaked intothe end zone from 2 yards away,completing a 34-28 victory thatdefied the bounds of credulity, thePatriots stormed onto the fieldand raised their helmets andhugged anyone who moved. TheFalcons stood as if frozen for pos-terity, their grim looks reflecting ateam in disbelief.

The Patriots trailed by 25 pointswith 2 minutes 12 seconds remain-ing in the third quarter.

And they won.Do not ask how they did it, or

what the Falcons did, because thedetails will fade over time. Thesimple answer is that even thoughthe Falcons employ a quarterbackwho was the N.F.L.’s most valu-able player, they do not have TomBrady, and that, as always, seemsto make all the difference.
