Closure for Cubs, in a Fitting Final Catch

CLEVELAND — Anthony Rizzo was 3years old when his father, John, first knew hemight be a baseball player.

“I chipped him golf balls and he’d catcheverything,” John Rizzo said early Thursday

morning at Progressive Field. “Iwas learning how to play golf. Heused to get his mitt and catch thechips.”

The steady right hand thatsnagged golf balls as aboy would one day

catch The Ball, the one that deliv-ered the Chicago Cubs their firstchampionship since 1908. Withtwo outs in the bottom of the 10th inning in Game 7 of the World Series,Anthony Rizzo raised his glove and caught athrow from third baseman Kris Bryant, whohad gathered a slow chopper from the Cleve-land Indians’ Michael Martinez. The Cubs hadtriumphed, 8-7, for a moment 108 years in themaking.

“There’s a lot of relief involved, becausethere’s so much stress — it just builds andbuilds and builds,” said Tom Ricketts, theCubs’ chairman. “Relief, and then you start toabsorb it. Honestly, I never really let myselfthink too hard about what happens next. Sonow we’ll see what it all means.”

It means that baseball is different, forever.The franchise most famous for failure nowsits on top. The holy grail of sports — asDavid Ross, the beloved retiring catcher,put it — has been found.

The group that did it will be Chicagolegends for life. The Curse of the BillyGoat — the ludicrous notion that anaggrieved tavern owner hexed theteam for denying his goat entryto Wrigley Field for the 1945World Series — is no more.

Saturating swing states withpowerful campaign surrogatesand mobilizing a vast field organi-zation, Hillary Clinton on Thurs-day intensified her public attackson Donald J. Trump as a threat tominorities in the hope of drivingthem to the polls in decisive num-bers.

In an effort to blunt any late mo-mentum for Mr. Trump, Mrs. Clin-ton is moving to reinforce her po-sition among crucial constituen-cies, including black communitiesin North Carolina and Florida, andHispanic strongholds in Nevadaand Arizona, to lock down the 270electoral votes needed to win.

She and President Obama as-sailed Mr. Trump in separate cam-

paign appearances on Thursdayas an enemy of black voters, andwarned that he could use thepower of the presidency againstthem.

Mrs. Clinton’s efforts are mostintense in a few large swing stateswhere balloting is underway.Guided by data on millions ofvoters around the country, theClinton campaign has deployedher top surrogates to areas whereshe needs a boost: Mr. Obamafired up voters on her behalf inJacksonville, Fla., and Miami, cit-ies where black voters have yet toturn out in sizable numbers.

HARARE, Zimbabwe — Thetime came for worshipers to sur-render their tithes on Sundaymorning. But instead of droppingbills into a collection plate, thecongregants at a large Pente-costal church rose and filed to-ward the deacons clutching hand-held card-reading machines. Witha swipe, they were done.

“Yes, it looks like shoppers in asupermarket,” said Mercy Chi-hota, 33, a member of the church,the United Family InternationalMinistries, in Harare, Zimbabwe’scapital. “It feels good, but strangeat the moment, because it’s verynew.”

Of all the places speeding to-ward a cashless economy, this na-tion in southern Africa may notcome to mind. About 90 percent ofZimbabweans work in the infor-mal economy, where cash is

usually a must. The country, de-spite the spread of cheap smart-phones in recent years, remainslow-tech. Blackouts are part of ev-eryday life.

But Zimbabwe is hurtling to-ward a plastic future for a simplereason: It is running out of cash,specifically the American dollarsit adopted in 2009 before abandon-ing its own troubled currency.Anxious about their nation’s po-litical and economic troubles,many Zimbabweans have been

hoarding dollars or taking themout of the country. Banks haveslashed daily withdrawal limits.A.T.M.s now sit empty.

Debit card machines are prolif-erating in Zimbabwe’s cities, notonly in churches but also in super-markets, betting parlors, night-clubs, parking lots and every busi-ness happy to accept cash but un-able to dispense it. If there are nocard-reading machines around,many shoppers now text pay-

LONDON — The British gov-ernment’s plan for leaving the Eu-ropean Union was thrown into un-certainty on Thursday after theHigh Court ruled that Parliamentmust give its approval before theprocess can begin.

The court’s decision seemedlikely to slow, but not halt, theBritish exit from the bloc, a stepapproved by nearly 52 percent ofvoters in a June referendum.

Nevertheless, the court’s deci-sion was a significant blow toPrime Minister Theresa May. Shehad planned to begin the legalsteps for leaving the EuropeanUnion by the end of March, and toprepare for talks over Britain’sexit mostly behind closed doors.

If the court’s ruling is upheld —the government immediatelyvowed to appeal — that planwould be thrown into disarray, an-alysts said.

Mrs. May would be forced towork with Parliament and con-sider its competing priorities forBritain’s future. Specifically, shewould have to give it a detailedstrategy for negotiating theBritish departure, or “Brexit.” Shehas adamantly resisted doing so,

On the financial disclosureforms that Donald J. Trump haspointed to as proof of his tremen-dous success, no venture looksmore gold-plated than his golf re-sort in Doral, Fla., where he re-ported revenues of $50 million in2014. That figure accounted for thebiggest share of what he de-scribed as his income for the year.

But this summer, a consider-ably different picture emerged inan austere government hearingroom in Miami, where Mr.Trump’s company was challeng-ing the resort’s property tax bill.

Mr. Trump’s lawyer handed themagistrate an income and ex-pense statement showing that thegross revenue had indeed been$50 million. But after paying oper-ating costs, the resort had actuallylost $2.4 million.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly heldout his financial disclosures as ajustification for breaking with tra-dition and refusing to release hispersonal tax returns. “You don’tlearn that much from tax returns,”he said in September during hisfirst debate with Hillary Clinton.“You learn a lot from financial dis-closure. And you should go downand take a look at that.”

But an examination of his taxappeals on several properties, andother documents obtained by TheNew York Times through Free-dom of Information requests,shows that what Mr. Trump hasreported on those forms is no-where near a complete picture ofhis financial state.

The records demonstrate thatlarge portions of those numbersrepresent cash coming into hisbusinesses before covering costslike mortgage payments, payrolland maintenance. After expenses,some of his businesses make asmall fraction of what he reportedon his disclosure forms, or ac-tually lose money. In fact, it isvirtually impossible to determinefrom the forms just how much heis earning in any year.

An overwhelming majority ofvoters are disgusted by the stateof American politics, and manyharbor doubts that either major-party nominee can unite the coun-try after a historically ugly presi-dential campaign, according tothe final pre-election New YorkTimes/CBS News Poll.

In a grim preview of the discon-tent that may cloud at least theoutset of the next president’sterm, Hillary Clinton and DonaldJ. Trump are seen by a majority ofvoters as unlikely to bring thecountry back together after thisbitter election season.

With more than eight in 10voters saying the campaign hasleft them repulsed rather than ex-cited, the rising toxicity threatensthe ultimate victor. Mrs. Clinton,the Democratic candidate, andMr. Trump, the Republicannominee, are seen as dishonestand viewed unfavorably by a ma-jority of voters.

While her advantage has nar-rowed since mid-October, Mrs.Clinton still has an edge in the sur-vey because of a commanding ad-
