He eventually channeled his energy into the global philanthropy that bears his name and is shaping so much of his post-presi- dential legacy. Now, he faces the prospect of walk- ing away from the Clinton Founda- tion. He’s promised to step down from the board if Hillary Clinton wins the White House in November, a commit- ment made amid swirling questions — pushed along by Donald Trump — about her ability to separate herself from the foundation’s wealthy contrib- utors at home and abroad. For the Clintons, the decisions sur- rounding the foundation are the latest chapter in an unprecedented partner- ship of personal and political ambi- tions. While political spouses — Hil- lary Clinton among them — oten put aside their own goals, never before has that been required of a former presi- dent. Friends and associates say Bill Clin- ton has accepted that his role in the high-proile charity has to change. But he’s also said to be deeply frustrated with the criticism that is shadowing his potential exit. “We’re trying to do good things. If there’s something wrong with creating jobs and saving lives, I don’t know what it is,” he said last week.

Their bodies are believed to be in one of the many mass graves left behind by Islamic State extremists. An analysis by The Associated Press has found 72 such graves in Iraq and Syria, and many more are expected to be discovered as the group loses territory. search, The Associated Press has doc- umented and mapped 72 of the mass graves, the most comprehensive sur- vey so far, with many more expected to be uncovered as the Islamic State group’s territory shrinks. In Syria, AP has obtained locations for 17 mass graves, including one with the bodies of hundreds of members of a single tribe all but exterminated when IS ex- tremists took over their region. For at least 16 of the Iraqi graves, most in ter- ritory too dangerous to excavate, oi- cials do not even guess the number of dead. In others, the estimates are based on memories of traumatized survivors, Islamic State propaganda and what can be gleaned from a cursory look at the earth. Still, even the known numbers of victims buried are staggering — from 5,200 to more than 15,000. HARDAN, Iraq (AP) — Surrounded by smoke and lames, the sound of gun- shots echoing around him, the young man crouched in the creek for hours, listening to the men in his family die. On the other side of the mountain, another survivor peered through binoculars as the handcufed men of neighboring villages were shot and then buried by a waiting bulldozer.
