Among college football’s manyrituals, the annual Heisman Tro-phy presentation remains one ofthe highlights. Fans and coachesand former stars gather in Man-hattan each December to honorthe season’s outstanding player.This season, about two dozen for-mer winners stood on the stageas another member was added totheir exclusive club.

But in avoiding any mention oftwo controversial winners, the

Heisman ceremony was notablefor another recent trend: collegesand sports teams that love to cel-ebrate their history have becomemasters at editing it. Often this isdone quietly, with computer key-strokes altering a record book,and not with an angry mobthrowing a rope around a statue’sneck on the stadium steps.

But sports, perhaps better thanany endeavor except politics, hasbecome adept at a type of cleans-ing more commonly associatedwith authoritarian governments.With surprising regularity and

ease, once-popular figures whohave run afoul of the rules or thelaw have been erased like dis-graced leaders from an old Sovietphoto album, whitewashed fromhistory to preserve an institu-tion’s image or to abide by a gov-erning body’s sanctions.

TAMPA, Fla. — Jill Kelley stillglances around for cameras be-fore she leaves her large, six-columned house on HillsboroughBay, and she rarely goes to thegrocery store. Since November2012, when the government re-leased her name in connectionwith a scandal that brought downthe head of the Central Intelli-gence Agency, Ms. Kelley has yetto return to her children’sschools, she said, and could noteven summon the courage to go

to their holiday plays. Desperate to restore her rep-

utation, resume her old life and,she said, protect others from sim-ilar ordeals, Ms. Kelley is, withthe help of some of the nation’smost renowned and expensiveprivacy lawyers, suing three fed-eral agencies and a spate of cur-rent and former Pentagon andF.B.I. officials. She asserts thatthey violated her privacy, de-famed her and improperly gainedaccess to her email without herconsent, all in a way that hurt her

LAKE MEAD, Nev. — The sin-uous Colorado River and its slewof man-made reservoirs from theRockies to southern Arizona arebeing sapped by 14 years ofdrought nearly unrivaled in 1,250years.

The once broad and blue riverhas in many places dwindled to amurky brown trickle. Reservoirshave shrunk to less than halftheir capacities, the canyon wallsaround them ringed with whitemineral deposits where wateronce lapped. Seeking to stretchtheir allotments of the river, re-gional water agencies are recy-cling sewage effluent, offering re-bates to tear up grass lawns andsubsidizing less thirsty appli-ances from dishwashers to show-

er heads.But many experts believe the

current drought is only the har-binger of a new, drier era inwhich the Colorado’s flow will besubstantially and permanentlydiminished.

Faced with the shortage, fed-eral authorities this year will forthe first time decrease theamount of water that flows intoLake Mead, the nation’s largestreservoir, from Lake Powell 180miles upstream. That will reduceeven more the level of LakeMead, a crucial source of waterfor cities from Las Vegas to LosAngeles and for millions of acresof farmland.

FAYOUM, Egypt — They hidein safe houses on the outskirts ofthis city, talk only fleetingly oncellphones and avoid the cafeswhere they used to meet. Heavyscarves obscure their identitieswhen they venture out to joinprotests.

The leaders of the MuslimBrotherhood, now outlawed, haveadjusted to life underground,even while hundreds of their fel-low members have been arrestedin this city since the military de-posed President Mohamed Mor-si, a Brotherhood leader, and theEgyptian government brandedthe group a terrorist movement.

Yet, rather than crack and dis-integrate under the pressure,members say, the group has fall-en back on the organizationalstructure that sustained it fordecades as a banned and secre-tive movement. It is becomingmore decentralized, but alsomore cohesive and rigid, as itsmembers abandon activities likepreaching and social work andshift their attention to a virtuallysingular goal: resistance to themilitary-backed government.

Their focus, many Brotherhoodmembers say, is a protracted,grinding struggle.

“There is a vision of a politicalconfrontation that can go on foryears,” said one leader, a 33-year-old architect in Fayoum, an Is-lamist stronghold. He, along withother members, spoke in a cafefor a time, but changed locationsafter suspecting the employeeswere eavesdropping.

“This is our persistence stage,”he said. “We are trying to standup as long as we can.”

The Brotherhood’s enduranceso far all but ensures that Egyptwill continue to be troubled bycivil conflict. And it raises furtherdoubts about the government’sattempts to extinguish a move-ment that has resisted such ef-forts since its founding more than80 years ago and that draws sup-port from hundreds of thousandsof members and millions of affili-ates and sympathizers through-out the country.

Although leaders of the groupsay they remain committed toprotests to express their activ-ism, some members said thatmany of its sympathizers wereincreasingly talking of violence.

“I know people who are notMuslim brothers who say, ‘We’llget your rights back for you,’”said Ramadan Fadel, a 27-year-old member in Fayoum who saidthat an acquaintance had toldhim that people were ready totake up arms to protect thegroup.

In places like Mansoura, northof Cairo, where the Brother-hood’s footprint is smaller, therewas less talk of confrontationthan of survival, beginning withthe difficulty of attracting new re-cruits. “Who would want to un-dergo this repression?” asked adoctor who lives just outside thecity and who wanted to remainanonymous for fear of reprisals.

Some members described theconflict as a zero-sum game be-tween the military and the Broth-erhood. Underscoring the perilsof that conflict, at least 13 peoplewere killed on Friday duringBrotherhood marches through-

AWERIAL, South Sudan —When Jacob Atem was just ayoung boy, his parents werekilled during the long war for in-dependence from Sudan, and hefound himself among the legionsof orphaned children known asthe Lost Boys wandering hun-dreds of miles across this part ofAfrica.

Resettled and educated in theUnited States, he returned to thenewly independent nation ofSouth Sudan two years ago toopen a clinic in the village where

he was born. But the promise ofthis young country gave way to anew conflict in recent weeks, andMr. Atem, now 28, found himselfonce more in the midst of deadlyclashes, hiding in the bush fromrebels, watching as the Americanaircraft sent to rescue him andothers were strafed with a fu-sillade of bullets, and shelteringat a United Nations compound.

“I got lucky,” said Mr. Atem, aMichigan State University gradu-ate, after finally making it onto ahumanitarian flight and escapingthe heavy fighting in Bor acrossthe river here.

The return of South Sudan’sLost Boys for the birth of this

new nation was perhaps the per-fect symbol of its hope for a newbeginning. Many are Americancitizens who came back to vote inthe 2011 referendum that split offthis country from Sudan, withwhich it fought for decades. Oth-ers returned to try to provide thenext generation of South Suda-nese children with a better coun-try than the one they were borninto.

Now, many of these Lost Boys,who had already escaped the vio-lence in their homeland but foundthemselves inexorably drawnback, are trying to survive the

WASHINGTON — Shortly be-fore leaving the Capitol for theholiday recess, Senate Demo-crats gathered behind closeddoors to lay out an agenda for2014. When the majority leader,Harry Reid, exhorted colleaguesto “deal with the issue of incomeinequality,” the talk took a spirit-ual turn.

“You know,” declared SenatorBernard Sanders, the Vermontindependent, who caucuses withDemocrats, “we have a strongally on our side in this issue —and that is the pope.”

That Mr. Sanders, who is Jew-ish, would invoke the pope to Mr.Reid, a Mormon, delighted Ro-man Catholics in the room. (“Ber-nie! You’re quoting my pope; thisis good!” Senator Richard J. Dur-bin of Illinois recalled thinking.)Beyond interfaith banter, thecomment underscored a largertruth: From 4,500 miles away atthe Vatican, Pope Francis, whohas captivated the world with amessage of economic justice andtolerance, has become a presencein Washington’s policy debate.

As lawmakers return to thecapital this week and mark the50th anniversary of PresidentLyndon B. Johnson’s declarationof a “war on poverty,” Democrats— including those Catholicswhose politics have put them atodds with a conservative churchhierarchy — are seizing on Fran-cis’ words as a rare opportunityto use the pope’s moral force to
