Violence at ‘Goodfellas’ Diner
WASHINGTON — As a presi-dential candidate, Donald J.Trump vowed to refill the cells ofthe Guantánamo Bay prison andsaid American terrorism suspectsshould be sent there for militaryprosecution. He called for target-ing mosques for surveillance, es-calating airstrikes aimed at ter-rorists and taking out their civil-ian family members, and bringingback waterboarding and a “hell ofa lot worse” — not only because“torture works,” but because even“if it doesn’t work, they deserve itanyway.”
It is hard to know how much ofthis stark vision for throwing offconstraints on the exercise of na-tional security power was merelytough campaign talk. But if theTrump administration followsthrough on such ideas, it will findsome assistance in a surprisingsource: President Obama’s have-
it-both-ways approach to curbingwhat he saw as overreaching inthe war on terrorism.
Over and over, Mr. Obama hasimposed limits on his use of suchpowers but has not closed the dooron them — a flexible approachpremised on the idea that he andhis successors could be trusted touse them prudently. Mr. Trumpcan now sweep away those limitsand open the throttle on policiesthat Mr. Obama endorsed as law-ful and legitimate for sparing use,like targeted killings in dronestrikes and the use of indefinitedetention and military tribunalsfor terrorism suspects.
And even in areas where Mr.Obama tried to terminate policiesfrom the George W. Bush era —like torture and the detention ofAmericans and other people ar-rested on domestic soil as “enemy

SANA, Yemen — For decades, MustafaElaghil’s family produced snack foods pop-ular in Yemen, chips and corn curls inbright packaging decorated with the im-age of Ernie from “Sesame Street.”
But over the summer, a military coali-tion led by Saudi Arabia sent warplanesover Yemen and bombed the Elaghils’ fac-tory. The explosion destroyed it, setting itablaze and trapping the workers inside.
The attack killed 10 employees andwiped out a business that had employeddozens of families.
“It was everything for us,” Mr. Elaghilsaid.
The Saudi-led coalition has bombedYemen for the last 19 months, trying to ousta rebel group aligned with Iran that took
control of the capital, Sana, in 2014. TheSaudis want to restore the country’s exiledpresident, Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi,who led an internationally recognized gov-ernment more aligned with its interests.
But instead of defeating the rebels, thecampaign has sunk into a grinding stale-mate, systematically obliterating Yemen’salready bare-bones economy. The coalitionhas destroyed a wide variety of civilian tar-gets that critics say have no clear link tothe rebels.
It has hit hospitals and schools. It has de-stroyed bridges, power stations, poultryfarms, a key seaport and factories thatproduce yogurt, tea, tissues, ceramics,Coca-Cola and potato chips. It has bombedweddings and a funeral.
The bombing campaign has exacer-
bated a humanitarian crisis in the Arabworld’s poorest country, where cholera isspreading, millions of people are strug-gling to get enough food, and malnour-ished babies are overwhelming hospitals,according to the United Nations. Millionshave been forced from their homes, andsince August, the government has beenunable to pay the salaries of most of the 1.2million civil servants.
Publicly, the United States has kept itsdistance from the war, but its decades-oldalliance with Saudi Arabia, underpinnedby tens of billions of dollars in weaponssales, has left American fingerprints on theair campaign.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump on Sundaychose Reince Priebus, the chair-man of the Republican NationalCommittee and a loyal campaignadviser, to be his White Housechief of staff, turning to a Wash-ington insider whose friendshipwith the House speaker, Paul D.Ryan, could help secure early leg-islative victories.
In selecting Mr. Priebus, Mr.Trump passed over Stephen K.Bannon, a right-wing mediaprovocateur. But the president-elect named Mr. Bannon his sen-ior counselor and chief West Wingstrategist, signaling an embraceof the fringe ideology long ad-vanced by Mr. Bannon and of acontinuing disdain for the Repub-lican establishment.
The dual appointments — withMr. Bannon given top billing in theofficial announcement — in-stantly created rival centers ofpower in the Trump White House.
Mr. Bannon’s selection dem-onstrated the power of grass-

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump appeared tosoften some of his hardest-linecampaign positions on immigra-tion on Sunday, but he also restat-ed his pledge to roll back abortionrights and used Twitter to lash outat his critics, leaving open the pos-sibility that he would continue us-ing social media in the Oval Officeand radically change the waypresidents speak to Americans.
In his first prime-time televi-sion interview since his upset vic-tory on Tuesday, Mr. Trump re-peated his promise to name a Su-preme Court justice who opposedabortion rights and would helpoverturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade de-cision that recognized them, re-turning the issue to the states.
Asked where that would leavewomen seeking abortions, Mr.Trump, on the CBS program “60Minutes,” said, “Well, they’ll per-haps have to go — they’ll have togo to another state.”
On immigration, he said thewall that he has been promising tobuild on the nation’s southern bor-der might end up being a fence inplaces. But he said his prioritywas to deport two million to threemillion immigrants he character-ized as dangerous or as havingcriminal records, a change fromhis original position that he woulddeport all of the estimated 11 mil-lion undocumented immigrants inthe country. President Obama hasdeported more than two millionundocumented immigrants dur-ing his time in office.
Mr. Trump said that undocu-mented immigrants who are notcriminals are “terrific people,”and that he would decide how to

There is no single way to con-vey just how divided we are as anation, and it was laid bare lastweek after Donald J. Trump waselected the 45th president,though he lost the popular vote.
The acrimonious presidentialcampaign exposed not only a riftbetween the elite and the non-elite, but stirred debate overwhat the term means. Votersguided by religious values endedup with different political out-looks. The country is sharplydivided over immigration. Somevoters believe the nation is undersiege, while others question if theUnited States should be a melt-ing pot of people and cultures.
Six national reporters for TheNew York Times spoke to anumber of Americans to under-stand the ways voters see theworld. They spoke withsupporters of Mr. Trump and ofHillary Clinton. They foundpessimists and optimists. Mostpeople insisted that they wanteda unified country.
Yet, as they fight for theirversion of America, they couldnot be further apart. Page A14.
