WASHINGTON—President Ba-rack Obama secretly wrote toIran’s Supreme Leader AyatollahAli Khamenei in the middle oflast month and described ashared interest in fighting Is-lamic State militants in Iraq andSyria, according to peoplebriefed on the correspondence.

The letter appeared aimedboth at buttressing the campaignagainst Islamic State and nudg-ing Iran’s religious leader closerto a nuclear deal.

Mr. Obama stressed to Mr.Khamenei that any cooperationon Islamic State was largely con-tingent on Iran reaching a com-prehensive agreement withglobal powers on the future ofTehran’s nuclear program by aNov. 24 diplomatic deadline, thesame people say.

The October letter marked atleast the fourth time Mr. Obamahas written Iran’s most powerfulpolitical and religious leadersince taking office in 2009 andpledging to engage with Tehran’sIslamist government.

The correspondence under-scores that Mr. Obama views Iranas important—whether in a po-tentially constructive or negativerole—to his emerging militaryand diplomatic campaign to pushIslamic State from the territoriesit has gained over the past sixmonths.

Mr. Obama’s letter also soughtto assuage Iran’s concerns aboutthe future of its close ally, Presi-

ObamaSecretlyWrote toAyatollah

Two days after his party’s mid-term romp, House Speaker JohnBoehner became the second lead-ing Republican to warn that uni-lateral action by President BarackObama on immigration would“poison the well” for any cooper-ation with the new GOP Congress.

Among the causes of thestandoff: a year of previously un-reported talks between Messrs.Boehner and Obama over a legis-lative compromise to fix the

balky immigration system.The two men started talking

after the 2012 election, accordingto detailed accounts provided byseveral aides on both sides. Thediscussions ended this summerwith the two sitting stony-facedaround a white wrought-iron ta-ble outside the Oval Office.

“When you play with matches,you take the risk of burning your-self,” Mr. Boehner said Thursdayof possible unilateral immigrationaction by the president. “And he’sgoing to burn himself if he con-tinues to go down this path.”

Sen. Mitch McConnell, theKentucky Republican who is ex-pected to lead the GOP’s new Sen-ate majority, made similar admo-nitions a day earlier, setting theRepublican legislative and Demo-cratic executive agendas on a col-lision course. The immigration is-sue stands to imperil what hadlooked like a rare opportunity of-fered to find common ground ontrade and business taxes, amongother matters.

Mr. Obama vowed in hisWednesday postelection newsconference to move ahead on im-

migration by himself, makingchanges that people close to theprocess say could give safe har-bor to perhaps a few million peo-ple in the U.S. illegally.

At the White House, the ques-tion isn’t whether Mr. Obama willact but how sweeping his orderwill be. He is under intense pres-sure from immigration activists,who worry he will back down be-cause of the election results or to

Home DepotHackers StoleBuyer EmailAddresses

Former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Steve Octavienrecently landed a marketing job, got married, broughthis newborn daughter home from the hospital and issaving up for the down payment on a house.

But as he gets on with life after six years ofprofessional football, the 29-year-old Mr. Octavienregrets handing over $80,000, including his sign-ing bonus, to a stockbroker named Mary Wong in2008. They met while he was playing at the Uni-versity of Nebraska, where he says she sometimespaid his rent, cellphone bills, car insurance andother expenses, a likely violation of National Colle-giate Athletic Association rules.

Home Depot Inc. said hackersgot into its systems last April bystealing a password from a ven-dor, opening a tiny hole thatgrew into the biggest retail-credit-card breach on record.

On Thursday, the company an-nounced the breach was worsethan earlier thought. In additionto the 56 million credit-card ac-counts that were compromised,Home Depot now says around 53million customer email addresseswere stolen as well.

Those addresses are by theirnature semipublic, but they canbe used by hackers hoping totrick people into giving awaymore sensitive information, andHome Depot warned its custom-ers to be on guard.

Alan Grossman, a New Yorklawyer, is fond of his gleamingnew iPhone 6 Plus. Seated at hisfavorite cafe on a recent morn-ing, he conjures up a Google mapof Memphis.

Then, he pulls from his backpocket an illus-trated map ofM e m p h i sprinted on thickcolor paper. Un-folding it to itsfull, detailed, 18-by-27-inch gran-deur, he places it next to the dig-ital map.

“Here is Memphis,” he sayspointing to the iPhone, “andhere is MEMPHIS,” he says indi-cating the paper. The digitalmap on his 5 ½-inch screen,with its simple dark lines,“could be Anywhere, U.S.A.,” hesays.

The paper Memphis map, withits pastel peach landscape bor-dered by an azure blue Missis-sippi River, shows 137 sites, mostwith hand-drawn illustrations,flagging possible points of inter-est to die-hard—really die-hard—Elvis fans.

There is Graceland, of course,Elvis’s mansionand final restingplace. But thereis also Coletta’sItalian restau-rant, where Elvisenjoyed a slice ofpizza. There are

dozens of markers for buildingsthat don’t exist anymore—likethe Britling Cafeteria, where hismom, Gladys, worked as a wait-ress in 1952, and Crown ElectricCo., where he took a job as atruck driver in 1953.

The $80,000 soon disappeared, he says, and Ms.Wong pleaded guilty in 2010 to securities fraud re-lated to an alleged Ponzi scheme that victimizedother clients. She is serving a 63-month sentencein federal prison.

“Now I have a family,” says Mr. Octavien, whoearned roughly $600,000 in his NFL career withfour teams. “That would have been money that Iwould have loved to give them.” Prison officialssay Ms. Wong told them she declined to commentfor this article.
