said today that she spent years
in guilty silence and took pains
to not dress suggestively in
professional contexts because
she assumed the incident was
her fault.
Playwright Cori Thomas
was a classmate of Hoffman’s
daughter in 1980 when she
says she met the actor, who
invited her to his New York
hotel room to wait for her
mother after dinner with the
teenagers. After his daughter
left, Hoffman went to take a
shower, Thomas said.
“I was just sitting there
waiting for my parents. He
came out of the bathroom and
had a towel around him and
that was the first, ‘Hmm, that
is kind of weird,’” Thomas,
now 53, said. “And then he
dropped the towel, and I think
I just like....I had never seen a
naked man. I had never kissed
a man.”

drew hundreds of white
nationalist from around the
country. The attack came after
the rally in this Virginia col-
lege town had descended into
chaos — with violent brawl-
ing between attendees and
counterdemonstrators — and
authorities had forced the
crowd to disband.
Surveillance footage from
a Virginia State Police heli-
copter, played by prosecutors
in court, captured the moment
of impact by the car and the
cursing of the startled troop-
ers on board. The video then
showed the car as it reversed,
drove away and eventually
pulled over. The helicopter
had been monitoring the vio-
lence, and prosecutors ques-
tioned Charlottesville Police
Detective Steven Young about
the video as it played.

WASHINGTON — Con-
gressional Republicans final-
ized their sweeping tax pack-
age today, expanding its child
tax credit to placate a reluctant
GOP senator as they pushed to
muscle the bill through Con-
gress next week and give Pres-
ident Donald Trump his first
major legislative victory.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Flor-
ida has been a potential hold-
out, though lawmakers have
been working to appease him.
Rubio wrote on Twitter earlier
today that he was dissatisfied
with the size of a tax credit that
CHARLOTTESVILLE,
Va. — The man accused of
driving into a crowd protest-
ing a white nationalist rally
in Charlottesville faces a new
charge of first-degree murder
after a court hearing Thurs-
day in which prosecutors pre-
sented surveillance video and
other evidence against him.
Prosecutors announced at
the start of a preliminary hear-
ing for James Alex Fields that
they were seeking to upgrade
the second-degree murder
charge he previously faced in
the Aug. 12 collision in Char-
lottesville that left 32-year-old
Heather Heyer dead and doz-
ens injured. The judge agreed
to that and ruled there is prob-
able cause for all charges
against Fields, including
nine lesser felony counts, to
proceed.
Fields’ case will now be
presented to a grand jury for
an indictment.
Authorities say the 20-year-
old, described by a former
teacher as having a keen inter-
est in Nazi Germany and
Adolf Hitler, drove his speed-

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.
— One of the thousands of
firefighters battling a series of
wildfires across Southern Cali-
fornia has died, but authorities
gave no hint of how.
San Diego-based Cory Iver-
son, 32, died Thursday while
assigned to the blaze north-
west of Los Angeles, which
has become the fourth-largest
in California history. He was an
engineer with a state fire engine
strike team.
Dozens of police and fire
vehicles escorted a hearse car-
rying Iverson’s flag-draped
body to the county medical
examiner’s office in Ventura.
Iverson had been with the
state since 2009, said Fire
Chief Ken Pimlott of the Cali-
fornia Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection.
Ventura County Sher-
iff Geoff Dean called for a
moment of silence in Iverson’s
memory Thursday night at an
informational meeting for resi-
dents of the rural town of Fill-
more, near an eastern flank of
the fire.
“As I was up in the canyon
and I watched his fire brethren
remove his flag-draped body
from the canyon in the hills
above where we sit right here,
I couldn’t help but think about
his pregnant wife and his young
low-income families can claim
for their children.
“The #workingclass is
always forgotten in D.C. We
need to add more #taxcuts for
#workingclass parents espe-
cially those earning 20k- 50K,”
Rubio wrote.
At the White House, Trump
said he was confident that Con-
gress would pass the legisla-
tion. The package would give
generous tax cuts to corpora-
tions and the wealthiest Amer-
icans — Trump among them
— and more modest tax cuts
to low- and middle-income
families.
Members of a House-Sen-
ate conference committee were
signing the final version of the
legislation today. They have
been working to blend different
versions passed by the House
and Senate.
The tax package would dou-
ble the basic per-child tax credit
from $1,000 to $2,000. The bill
makes a smaller amount avail-
able to families even if they owe
no income tax. The amount has
been increased from $1,100 to
$1,400.
Rubio has said he wanted
the $1,100 figure increased, but
he hasn’t said by how much.
Low-income
taxpayers
would receive the money in the
form of a tax refund, which is
why it’s called a “refundable”
tax credit.

daughter who will never see
their husband and father again,”
Dean said.
It was the second death
linked to the fire. A 70-year-
old woman was killed in a car
crash while evacuating as the
fire raged last week. Her body
was found inside the wrecked
car along an evacuation route.
Authorities said it had
scorched more than 394 square
miles by early today. Con-
tainment was estimated at 35
percent.
