Jennifer Rosen was scheduledto depart Kennedy InternationalAirport on an 8:55 p.m. flight toSan Francisco but instead foundherself stuck at Gate C62 in Termi-nal 2. It was the typical misery ofsummer airline travel — or so itseemed.

A short distance away, in an-other terminal at the New Yorkairport, something more unpre-dictable than the weather had be-gun to sweep across the airport:

Panic.

It spread quickly and withoutwarning.

By the time Sunday night wasover, Ms. Rosen, 32, had sprawledout under a table seeking cover,followed a crowd of people whobolted through a secure door ontothe tarmac, frantically called hersister to find out what was hap-pening and tell her that she wasalive, and, finally, made a maddash from the terminal to joinmobs of travelers who thoughtthey might be living through anepisode of terror.

In the end, it proved to be a falsealarm.

While the authorities were stilltrying to piece together exactlyhow a report of gunfire at 9:34p.m. outside the security check-point at Terminal 8 led to completeturmoil across one of the nation’sbusiest airports, the accounts ofpassengers in interviews and onsocial media offered a lesson inthe anatomy of fear.

It was a night of confusion anddread, informed by the latestheadlines — including reports ofrecent attacks on airports in Brus-sels and Istanbul — as much as

Donald J. Trump on Monday in-voked comparisons to the ColdWar era in arguing that the UnitedStates must wage an unrelentingideological fight if it is to defeat theIslamic State. He said he wouldtemporarily suspend immigrationfrom “the most dangerous andvolatile regions of the world” andjudge allies solely on their partici-pation in America’s mission toroot out Islamic terrorism.

In a speech at YoungstownState University in Ohio, a criticalswing state where polls show himtrailing Hillary Clinton, Mr.Trump combined old vows to seizeMiddle Eastern oil fields with theannouncement of a series of new,if still vague, proposals to changeAmerica’s battlefield tactics.

“Just as we won the Cold War, inpart by exposing the evils of com-munism and the virtues of freemarkets, so too must we take onthe ideology of radical Islam,” hesaid.

He again tried to change his po-litically inflammatory approach toimmigration, replacing his 2015vow to bar Muslims from enteringthe United States with a new com-mitment to bar anyone from partsof the world where terrorismbreeds. Once again, he did notname those countries, or say

LONDON — Until Britain votedto leave the European Union, Phil-ip Levine never thought deeplyabout his Jewish heritage.

But looking for a way to ensurethat he could still work and live inEurope once Britain leaves thebloc, Mr. Levine, 35, who was bornin Britain and lives in London, de-cided to do what some Jews, in-cluding his relatives, might con-sider unthinkable: apply for Ger-man citizenship.

He did so by employing a provi-

sion of German law that has beenon the books since 1949 but thathas been little used in recentyears. It allows anyone whom theNazis stripped of their Germancitizenship “on political, racial orreligious grounds” from Jan. 30,1933, to May 8, 1945, and theirdescendants, to have their citizen-ship restored. Most of those wholost their citizenship during thatperiod were Jews, though theyalso included other minorities andpolitical opponents.

He is not alone in turning to theGerman law after Britain’s deci-sion to end its membership in the

European Union, also known asBrexit. Since the vote in June, theGerman embassy in London saidit had received at least 400 re-quests from Britons for informa-tion about German citizenship un-der a legal provision known as Ar-ticle 116.

At least 100 are formal applica-tions by individuals or families,said Knud Noelle, an embassy of-ficial. “We expect more in comingweeks,” he said, adding that theembassy normally receivesroughly 20 such applications ev-

When Kendall Williams let herdaughter, Bailey, paddle happilyin a swimming class on the SouthSide of Chicago as a preschooler,she noticed the other parentsseemed anxious.

“I don’t think any of them knewhow to swim,” Ms. Williams said.“And they were afraid of the waterand afraid for their kids.”

Ms. Williams, 45, and her

daughter are African-American,as were most of the other familiesat the swimming class. While Bai-ley, now almost 9, swims competi-tively, most of the other childrendropped out of the program.

Ms. Williams’s experience re-flects one of the more intractableracial divides in American sportsand culture. In the United States, asubstantial majority of African-American young people andadults cannot swim or are weak

swimmers, according to the mostrecent research from USA Swim-ming, the sport’s national govern-ing body.

It is a trend that has a compli-cated history, includingsegregated swimming pools andbeaches, attacks against African-Americans at pools as well as so-cioeconomic forces that dividedaccess to swimming pools alongclass lines.

HILARY SWIFT FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — When theLos Angeles hairstylist ChazDean pitched his almond mint andlavender-scented hair care prod-ucts — endorsed by celebritieslike Brooke Shields and AlyssaMilano — he sold millions. But hisformula got an unexpected result:itching, rashes, even hair loss inlarge clumps, in both adults andchildren.

More than 21,000 complaintshave been lodged against his WenHair Care, and Mr. Dean, the blue-eyed, golden-haired stylist to thestars, has found himself at thecenter of a fierce debate over thegovernment’s power to ensure thesafety of a cosmetics industrywith about $50 billion in annualsales.

The Santa Monica, Calif.-basednational distributor of Mr. Dean’shair care line is part of a beautycare trade association that hasbeen aggressively lobbying Con-gress to block the passage oftough new legislation that wouldgive the Food and Drug Adminis-tration the authority to test ingre-dients used in cosmetics and issuemandatory recalls for productsfound to be unsafe.

The fight has pitted smaller in-dependent players against the gi-ants of the beauty products indus-try, which back the proposed regu-lations, seeing them as an avenuetoward regaining public trust, andhave the size and muscle to com-ply with them.

Each side has its champions inCongress: Senators Dianne Fein-stein, Democrat of California, andSusan Collins, Republican ofMaine, for the larger companies,and Representative Pete Ses-sions, Republican of Texas, com-ing to the aid of his home-statecompany, Mary Kay, which joinedthe Independent CosmeticManufacturers and Distributorsto fight the Feinstein-Collins legis-lation. Mr. Sessions has intro-duced competing legislationbacked and largely drafted byMary Kay and the independentcompanies.

“If you are in business and arenot involved in politics, then poli-tics will run your business,” ex-plained a presentation preparedby Mary Kay last summer forsales representatives and ob-tained by The New York Times.

The face-off comes amid grow-ing consumer concern about thesafety of beauty care products andfollows a string of other scares, in-cluding the discovery of hair prod-

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — She wasa rising Democratic star. She wasthe first in her party to be electedstate attorney general. She wasone of the most powerful womenin Pennsylvania.

But on Monday night, KathleenG. Kane, the state’s top prosecutor,became a convicted criminal.

A jury found Ms. Kane, 50,guilty of nine criminal charges, in-cluding perjury and criminal con-spiracy, convicting her of leakinggrand jury information, and thenlying about it, in an effort to dis-credit a political rival.

Ms. Kane was caught up in aweb of scandal and counterscan-dal, threaded with lewd emails,political rivalries and allegedleaks. It has cost other state offi-cials, including two State Su-preme Court justices, their jobsand Ms. Kane her law license, al-though she has remained on thejob as attorney general.

Ms. Kane stared straight aheadas the word “guilty,” uttered deci-sively by a juror in a flowereddress, echoed nine times aroundthe courtroom. The lawyers im-mediately went into a private con-
