Late-Night cont’d from pg 7 tion’s top markets indi- cates that Colbert’s show Wednesday night slight- ly exceeded the previous Wednesday — indicat- ing no immediate fallout from the Putin joke. “The polarization of politics has migrated into the polarization of late- night humor,” said Rob- ert Lichter, the George Mason professor who di- rects the comedy content research. “People want to hear jokes about the poli- ticians they don’t like.” That in itself turns some conventional wis- dom on its head: for years many late-night comics made it a point to be equal opportunity abusers for fear of turn- ing off one side or anoth- er, he said. Trump has been the target of some 1,060 late- night jokes since taking offi ce, the study said. That puts him on pace to beat President Bill Clinton’s record of 1,717 jokes in 1998, the year his aff air with Monica Lew- insky was in the news, Lichter said. Colbert, for his part, isn’t taking any pity on the president. “He, I believe, can take care of himself,” Colbert said Wednesday. “I have jokes; he has the launch codes. So, it’s a fair fi ght.” World cont’d from pg 12 the day with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. A Russian plan to stabilize Syria aft er more than six years of civil war is the most urgent foreign policy topic on the agenda. But the meeting will be impossible to separate from the Trump adminis- tration’s unfolding political drama in Washington, where FBI and congressional investigations are looking into possible collusion between Trump campaign associates and the Kremlin related to last year’s presidential election. U.S. intelligence agen- cies have asserted that Moscow meddled in the elec- tion to help Trump’s chances of victory. The stigma of the Russia probes has been impossi- ble for Trump to shake. Trump on Tuesday abrupt- ly fi red FBI Director James Comey, ousting the na- tion’s top law enforcement offi cial in the midst of the bureau’s investigation into Trump’s ties with Russia. Less than a month into Trump’s presidency, he fi red his national security adviser, Michael Flynn, saying Flynn misled senior administration offi cials about his pre-inauguration talks with Sergey Kis- lyak, Russia’s ambassador in Washington. Iraqi Boys’ Harrowing Tale of Captivity, Training by IS KABARTO CAMP, Iraq (AP) — They made the captive children, malnourished and weak from hunger, fi ght over a single tomato. Then the Islamic State group militants told them, “In paradise, you’ll be able to eat whatever you want. But fi rst you have to get to paradise, and you do that by blowing your- self up.” The lesson was part of the indoctrination infl ict- ed by the militants on boys from Iraq’s Yazidi reli- gious minority aft er the extremist group overran the community’s towns and villages in northern Iraq. The group forced hundreds of boys, some as young as 7 or 8, into training to become fi ghters and suicide bombers, infusing them with its mur- derous ideology. Now boys who escaped captivity are struggling to regain some normalcy, living in camps for the displaced along with what is left of their families. Aft er surviving beatings, watching horrifi c atroc- ities, being held for months or years apart from their parents, losing loved ones and narrowly escaping death themselves, they are plagued by nightmares, anxiety and outbursts of violence. “Even here I’m still very afraid,” said 17-year-old Haiti cont’d from pg 9 have taken advantage of public benefi ts. She asked for that informa- tion in four separate emails. She also asked how much money Hai- tians have sent home and how oft en they’ve traveled back to Haiti. Frequent travel could suggest improved con- ditions. “Please dig for any stories (successful or otherwise) that would show how things are in Haiti - i.e. rebuild- ing stories, work of nonprofi ts, how the U.S. is helping certain industries,” Kovarik wrote on April 28. “We should also fi nd any re- ports of criminal activ- ity by any individual with TPS. Even though it’s only a snapshot and not representative of the entire situation, we need more than ‘Haiti is really poor’ stories.” The emails were largely directed to non-political employ- ees. They responded by saying much of the data was not available or was diffi cult to fi nd in government records systems. Maria Odom, a for- mer Citizenship and Immigration Services ombudsman in the Obama administra- tion, said she was puz- zled by the inquiries about criminal ac- tivities. She said the government already checks criminal histo- ries of applicants and denies protections to those who’ve broken U.S. laws. “You should not craft a humanitarian poli- cy based on the few,” Odom said.
