China Vows
To Punish
Managers
For Inferno
By JAVIER C. HERNÁNDEZ
BEIJING — The blasts that
killed 165 people at one of China’s
busiest seaports last year were a
result of a culture of mismanage-
ment at a chemical warehouse
and lax oversight by regulators,
according to a government in-
vestigation whose results were
released Friday.
In the report, officials with the
State Council, China’s cabinet,
described the explosions in Tian-
jin six months ago as a man-
made disaster that had caused
$1.1 billion in damage, destroying
more than 300 buildings and in-
juring nearly 800 people, accord-
ing to Xinhua, the state news
agency.
Officials vowed to punish 123
government workers in connec-
tion with the blasts, citing dere-
liction of duty. Another 49 people
have already been placed under
investigation, many of them em-

warehouse at the center of the

Nonetheless, 22 emails on Mrs.
Clinton’s server were held back
from a tranche made public last
week. Those 22 emails were
deemed so highly secret that
State Department officials in this

even in redacted form.
The emails are included in sev-

forwarded messages and replies,
and in most cases involved dis-
cussions of the C.I.A. drone pro-

At a Democratic presidential
debate in New Hampshire on

the past. She said the govern-

the law to have classified infor-

ELECTION 2016
Once Cautious in Campaign, Rubio Shows More of His Personal Side

By MICHAEL BARBARO
and JEREMY W. PETERS
MANCHESTER, N.H. — To
hear his rivals tell it, Senator
Marco Rubio is a robotic candi-
date, soullessly spitting out
canned lines on the stump —
“constantly scripted and con-
trolled,” in the words of Gov.
Chris Christie of New Jersey, who
has derided him as “the boy in
the bubble.”
But as the presidential cam-
paign enters its most intense
phase yet, Mr. Rubio’s cautious
style has quietly but unmistak-
ably evolved, shedding its imper-
sonal rime and offering intimate
— and increasingly improvised
— glimpses into his childhood,
his family and even his finances.
When a retired voter here de-
spaired over the sinking value of
his home, Mr. Rubio surprised
the audience by recalling, in pain-
ful detail, his own real estate tra-
vails, right down to the cost of
having a next-door neighbor’s
home slip into foreclosure. “They
sold it for $300,000 — half what I
paid for my house,” Mr. Rubio ex-
plained. “So that reset everyone’s
value for years.”
When a mother described the
toll of raising an autistic child,
Mr. Rubio spoke for seven emo-
tional minutes about watching
the 2-year-old daughter of a fam-
ily friend wrestle with the dis-
order. And when a libertarian
asked him about the excesses of
the criminal justice system, Mr.
Rubio told the story of his own
run-in with the police when he
was 18.

BUSINESS BRIEFING
LinkedIn Stock Sinks After Revenue Falls Short

LinkedIn’s shares plunged 43.6 percent on Friday, wiping out nearly $11
billion of market value, after the social network released a revenue
forecast that fell far short of expectations. The stock sank to a three-
year low of $108.38, registering its sharpest decline since the compa-
ny’s well-publicized public listing in 2011. LinkedIn’s full-year revenue
forecast of $3.60 billion to $3.65 billion was below the average analyst
estimate of $3.91 billion, according to Thomson Reuters. “It’s not a
great day to have reported tough guidance,” said Randle Reece, an
analyst with Avondale Partners. “The mediocre employment report
from the Labor Department just amplified the reaction of anything
employment-sensitive today.” (REUTERS)

reaching a certain score. They were be-
stowed an extra life, a new chance at exist-

Death is not so frivolous in “That Dragon,
Cancer,” a video game about Joel Green, a
terminally ill 5-year-old, and his parents,
Ryan and Amy. It is a game about a single
life — one that ends and then is gone for-
ever.
The Greens, who live in Colorado, spent
the past three years making the game with
a small team of artists and designers. Ryan
Green, who is a programmer, quit his job to
work on the project. It is based on their own
lives and that of Joel, who died while the
game was in development.
“That Dragon, Cancer” is not the first
memoir to arrive in the form of a video
game, but it is probably the most ambitious.
“I feel like ‘That Dragon, Cancer’ is one of
those breakthrough moments,” said John
Sharp, a professor of games at the New
School and the author of “Works of Game,” a
book about the intersection of games and
art. “I think we may look back at this game

“One of the best-selling points
of this exhibition is that cya-
notypes are both underrepresent-
ed and trendy at the same time,”
said Nancy Burns, who organized
the Worcester show with Kristina
Wilson of Clark University. “It’s
very hip in contemporary art,
when you start looking for it.”
The cyanotype process — from
the Greek cyan, or “dark-blue im-
pression” — was invented around
1842 by the British astronomer
and chemist John Frederick Her-
schel (1792–1871). The benefits of
the format were evident from the
start.
Anna Atkins, considered by
many to be the first female pho-
tographer and the first person to
create a book of photo-based im-
ages, blended science and art in
botanical cyanotypes, starting in
the 1840s. Atkins’s “Honey Locust
Leaf and Pod” (circa 1854) is fea-
tured in the Worcester show.
The fine-art application was

of cyanotypes a “secret” in a let-

PRO FOOTBALL SUPER BOWL 50
A Black Quarterback Recalls His Not-So-Recent Struggles

SAN FRANCISCO
Warren Moon sits there in the hotel
lobby with his black beret and black
shirt, recounting, at my request, tales of
his days as one of the great and domi-
nant quarterbacks of his time.
In his Hall of Fame career, he set so
many records, piled up so
MICHAEL many yards, that his
place in the history of this
POWELL game is assured. And yet
there is that gap, like a rib

some frame.
After Moon left college in 1978, a Rose
Bowl champion and Pacific-8 player of
the year, he headed not to stardom in
the N.F.L. but to Edmonton, on the cold
western prairies of Canada. His north-
ern-lights exile would stretch six years.
Why?
He is black. And he wanted to play
quarterback. And for most great black
athletes in the 1970s and ’80s, that was
an N.F.L. impossibility.
“Reading defenses, understanding
schemes, being the face of a franchise:
There were just a lot of people in pro
football who didn’t think we could do
that,” Moon says.
Moon is a personable man who punc-
tuates such thoughts with a soft chuck-
le, where I, a white guy, might be more
inclined to curse. The racial strictures
and mysteries of the N.F.L. were con-
founding and long-lasting, and not just
reserved for the quarterback position.
The center on offense, the middle line-
backer on defense: These, too, were
largely apartheid positions into the
1980s. Moon leans forward and puts his
index fingers to his temples.
“These were the ‘thinking positions,’”
he says, and offers that chuckle again.
