Over Chartered Jet Flights
Price, Out of Favor Since Health Law Bid
Failed, Had Offered Partial Payment

berman.
WASHINGTON Tom Price,
the health and human services
secretary, resigned under pres-
sure on Friday after racking up at
least $400,000 in travel bills for
chartered flights and undermin-
ing President Trumps promise to
drain the swamp of a corrupt and
entitled capital.
Already in trouble with Mr.
Trump for months of unsuccessful
efforts to repeal and replace Pres-
ident Barack Obamas health care
program, Mr. Price failed to de-
fuse the presidents anger by of-
fering regret and a partial reim-
bursement. His departure was the
latest from an administration buf-
feted by turbulence at the top, and
capped a week of setbacks for the
president.

Roy Moore, the insurgent Senate
candidate who won in Alabama.
Mr. Trump berated Mr. Price in
the Oval Office on Friday after-
noon for about two hours before
heading out to meet with report-
ers, according to people informed
about the meeting. All cabinet
travel requests now must be

said.

Hurricane Maria had ripped
walls and metal roofs from the
brightly colored homes in this
working-class neighborhood in
central San Juan. Nine days after
the storm hit, putrid water still lay
stagnant in the streets.

An open-bed truck full of Bangla-

tossing out donated goods at ran-

a cluster of dirty forks.
Entire families sloshed through
the rain hoping to grab whatever
they could. One boy, no older than
6, squeezed his way to an opening
where a pair of oversize mens
jeans came hurtling off a truck. He
had to fight off an older boy before
he could run off with the prize.
There were already more than
200,000 ethnic Rohingya mi-

one, Balukhali, in southern Bang-

at least 500,000 more more than
half of the Rohingya population

fled over the border to take refuge,
surpassing even the worst month

Alexei Uchitel sits in the ele-

toric Hotel Astoria in St. Pe-
tersburg and answers an
endless stream of phone
calls about his new film,
Matilda.
The film depicts the true
story of a love affair between
the future Czar Nicholas II
and a young ballerina, Ma-
tilda Kshesinskaya, in St.
Petersburgs famed Mariin-
sky Theatre. The films offi-

erotic scenes shown in
trailers have enraged reli-

phemous for depicting
Nicholas in love scenes with
the teenage ballerina.
