Janet Reno, who rose from arustic life on the edge of the Ever-glades to become attorney gen-eral of the United States — thefirst woman to hold the job — andwhose eight years in that officeplaced her in the middle of some ofthe most divisive episodes of theClinton presidency, died on Mon-day at her home in Miami-DadeCounty, Fla. She was 78.

Her sister, Margaret Hurchalla,said the cause was complicationsof Parkinson’s disease, which wasdiagnosed in November 1995,while Ms. Reno was still in office.

Ms. Reno’s tenure as attorneygeneral was bracketed by two ex-plosive events: a deadly federalraid on the compound of a reli-gious cult in Waco, Tex., in 1993and, in 2000, the government’s

seizing of Elián González, a youngCuban refugee who was at thecenter of an international custodybattle and a political tug of war.

In those moments and others,Ms. Reno was applauded for dis-playing integrity and a willing-ness to accept responsibility, butshe was also fiercely criticized.

CLASHING FINAL PITCHES IN SWING-STATE BLITZ

Hillary Clinton and Donald J.Trump hopscotched from Penn-sylvania to North Carolina toMichigan on Monday in the final,frenzied hours of the presidentialcampaign, offering clashing clos-ing arguments as the sprawlingmap of the United States was re-duced to a string of must-winstates.

Accompanied by rock stars, ex-presidents, old friends and theirgrown children, the Democraticand Republican nominees plead-ed with voters to end a traumaticcampaign with an emphatic en-dorsement of their visions for thecountry.

In Philadelphia, Mrs. Clintondrew the biggest crowd of her 19-month campaign to the vast plazain front of Independence Hall,where Bruce Springsteen, the bal-ladeer of working-class America,rhapsodized about her values andthe candidate portrayed herself asa protector of freedom and equal-ity.

“Tomorrow we face the test ofour time. What will we vote for —not just against?” Mrs. Clintonasked. “Every issue you careabout is at stake.”

She concluded with an appeal tothose who have waited decadesfor a female president.

“Let’s make history together,”she said.

In Manchester, N.H., Mr. Trumptook the stage with his family atSouthern New Hampshire Uni-versity Arena as “God Bless theU.S.A.” blared, blue laser beams il-luminated the dark hall and asmoke machine piped a haze overthe crowd.

Mr. Trump asked a country po-larized over his personality andtactics to embrace his plan to thor-oughly shake up Washington.

“I am asking for the votes of allAmericans, Democrats, Republi-cans, independents,” Mr. Trumpsaid, “who are so desperately inneed of change.”

The contrasts between the can-didates and their messages wereon vivid display in the campaign’s

Donald J. Trump in Florida on Monday, and Hillary Clinton in Michigan. Mr. Trump visited five states on the campaign’s last day, and Mrs. Clinton visited four.DAMON WINTER/THE NEW YORK TIMES DOUG MILLS/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Making History,or Shaking Up

the System

HONG KONG — In the nearlytwo decades since Hong Kong re-turned to Chinese rule, the Com-munist government in Beijing hastolerated all manner of activity inthe city that it generally finds in-tolerable on the mainland: annual

vigils for those killed in the Tian-anmen Square massacre, newspa-pers’ publication of scurrilousgossip about China’s leaders, hugedemonstrations for free elections.

But by deciding to intervene ina local court case and essentiallyblocking two politicians fromtaking seats in Hong Kong’s legis-lature, China signaled more clear-

ly than ever on Monday that therewas a limit to its tolerance in thisformer British colony, which waspromised a “high degree of auton-omy” in a treaty.

The two young activists whoare testing that limit are advo-cates of independence for HongKong. While being sworn in, theymade a statement of defiance

against Chinese rule, using acrude obscenity and a term thatmany consider a slur against Chi-nese people.

In acting against them, the gov-ernment of President Xi Jinpinghas asserted new authority to setpolicy in Hong Kong, openingwhat could be a more chaotic era

The girl named Heaven laycurled up asleep next to hergrandmother on the mattress theyshared on the living room floor.The woman, Carmen Irizarry, hadbeen the 9-year-old’s legal guard-ian for years, a stand-in for the

girl’s troubled mother. Now,Heaven’s protector was sick,breathing from an oxygen tank af-ter a long hospital stay for acutelung disease. It was early in themorning of May 11, quiet in thehalf-light in the eighth-floor apart-ment in the South Bronx.

Just before 5 a.m., Henry Mal-donado, Ms. Irizarry’s companionof 30 years, entered the roomclutching a chef’s knife, the police

said. In a fury, he thrust the knifeat Heaven, then at Ms. Irizarry,back and forth, the blade cuttingfive times into Heaven’s torso andleft leg. Her grandmother tried toblock the blows.

“Heaven,” she said, “go!”

Those were Ms. Irizarry’s lastwords to her granddaughter, thegirl told the police, and they verylikely saved her from joining thegrim tally of children killed by thepeople closest to them. In a citythat has seen murder rates fall tohistoric lows, such deaths remaina stubborn strain of violence, onethat too often has also exposed

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Presi-dent Obama was feeling a littlesentimental.

His shirt sleeves rolled up, hisvowels slipping off the ends of hiswords, his last day on the cam-paign trail finally here, Mr. Obamasoaked up an unseasonably warmautumn sun on a baseball field atthe University of Michigan onMonday, and drank in the energyof his political finale.

“We’ve got one more day, Michi-gan — one more day,” he said, gaz-ing out over a crowd of more than9,000 at midday. But Mr. Obamawas not quite ready for it to beover.

“This is gonna be my last” — hecaught himself — “probably mylast day of campaigning for awhile.”

For Donald J. Trump and Hilla-ry Clinton, Monday’s cross-coun-try travels were all about tomor-row. For Mr. Obama, his travelshere to Michigan, and then to NewHampshire and Philadelphia,

were part victory lap and partnostalgia tour, as he was accompa-nied on Air Force One by some ofhis longest-serving aides, and wasushered in and out of rallies by thesame U2 and Bruce Springsteenanthems that were the sound-tracks of his campaigns.

But his core mission was to im-plore voters across the country torally behind Mrs. Clinton on Tues-day, or see the values and idealsthat fueled his rise and poweredhis agenda defeated. So Mr.Obama stumped on Monday withthe fervor of a man battling to pre-

serve his legacy and with the joyof one who has watched his ap-proval ratings tick higher as thepresidential race’s tenor has sunkever lower, savoring the almostpalpable sense at Mrs. Clinton’srallies that Americans will misshim when he is gone.

“Whatever credibility I’veearned after eight years as presi-dent,” Mr. Obama said, “I am ask-ing you to trust me on this one.”

“I already voted,” he added. “Ivoted for Hillary Clinton, because
