BAGHDAD — A Syrian insur-gent group at the heart of thePentagon’s effort to fight the Is-lamic State came under intenseattack on Friday from a differenthard-line Islamist faction, a seri-ous blow to the Obama adminis-tration’s plans to create a reliablemilitary force inside Syria.
The American-led coalition re-sponded with airstrikes to helpthe American-aligned unit,known as Division 30, in fightingoff the assault, according to anAmerican military spokesmanand combatants on both sides.The strikes were the first knownuse of coalition air power in di-rect battlefield support of fightersin Syria who were trained by thePentagon.
The attack on Friday wasmounted by the Nusra Front,which is affiliated with Al Qaeda.It came a day after the NusraFront captured two leaders andat least six fighters of Division 30,which supplied the first traineesto graduate from the Pentagon’santi-Islamic State training pro-gram.
In Washington, several currentand former senior administrationofficials acknowledged that theattack and the abductions by theNusra Front took American offi-cials by surprise and amountedto a significant intelligence fail-ure.
While American military train-ers had gone to great lengths toprotect the initial group of train-ees from attacks by Islamic Stateor Syrian Army forces, they didnot anticipate an assault from theNusra Front. In fact, officials saidon Friday, they expected theNusra Front to welcome Division30 as an ally in its fight againstthe Islamic State.
“This wasn’t supposed to hap-pen like this,” said one formersenior American official, whowas working closely on Syria is-sues until recently, and whospoke on the condition of ano-nymity to discuss confidential in-telligence assessments.
The Nusra Front said in astatement on Friday that its aimwas to eliminate Division 30 be-fore it could gain a deeper foot-hold in Syria. The Nusra Frontdid much the same last yearwhen it smashed the main groupsthat had been trained andequipped in a different Americaneffort, one run covertly by theC.I.A.
A spokesman for the Americanmilitary, Col. Patrick S. Ryder,wrote in an email statement that“we are confident that this attackwill not deter Syrians from join-ing the program to fight for Syr-ia,” and added that the program“is making progress.”
Division 30’s leaders expectedto play a role in an ambitious new

Young men today have aspira-tions of being hands-on fathers aswell as breadwinners — support-ive husbands who also change di-apers. But as they enter thatmore responsibility-filled stage oflife, something changes: Theirroles often become much moretraditional.
Millennial men — ages 18 toearly 30s — have significantlymore egalitarian attitudes aboutfamily, career and gender rolesinside marriage than generationsbefore them, according to a newwave of research from social sci-entists. Yet they struggle toachieve their goals once theystart families. Some researchersthink that’s because workplacepolicies have not caught up tochanging expectations at home.
“The majority of young menand women say they would ideal-ly like to equally share earningand caregiving with theirspouse,” said Sarah Thébaud, asociologist at the University ofCalifornia, Santa Barbara. “Butit’s pretty clear that we don’thave the kinds of policies and

Under a dark photographshowing hypodermic needles anddrug paraphernalia, the newspa-per advertisement warned in direterms that violent criminals werecoming to town. “Are these thenew neighbors we want?” thepaid message asked. “The St.Regis Mohawk Indian record ofcriminal activity is well docu-
mented.”The ad, part of an advocacy
campaign meant to stop a casinofrom being built in New York’sCatskill region, drew an indig-nant response from the tribe,which called it a naked appeal toracism. The incendiary ads,which ran in upstate newspapersin February 2000, were the workof the New York Institute for Lawand Society, an opaque interestgroup that described itself as op-
posed to casino gambling.It was only later that the man
who bankrolled the ads identifiedhimself: Donald J. Trump.
Long before Mr. Trump an-nounced his bid for the Repub-lican presidential nomination,roiling the 2016 election with hispugnacious style and speeches inwhich he has branded many un-documented immigrants as rap-ists and murderers, he hadproved himself in New York as an
expert political provocateur withan instinct for racially chargedrhetoric.
To communities that haveclashed with Mr. Trump in thepast, his current strategy is en-tirely familiar. The slash-and-burn offensive against casinogambling in New York was a re-vealing foray into local politics,but it was only one of several epi-

HOWARD W. JONES JR., 1910-2015
By RANDI HUTTER EPSTEIN
Howard W. Jones Jr., a physi-cian who pushed the boundariesof gynecologic surgery, openedthe first sex-change clinic in anAmerican hospital and helpedachieve the first birth through invitro fertilization in the UnitedStates, died on Friday in Norfolk,Va. He was 104.
His family confirmed his death,of respiratory failure. Dr. Jones,who remained productive into hiscentenarian years, publishing hisfinal book last fall, died at Senta-ra Heart Hospital, on the samemedical grounds as the hospitalin which the historic birth had oc-curred.
His success in fertilizing awoman’s egg outside the womb,after 41 tries, was achieved along-side his wife, Dr. Georgeanna
Jones, one of the nation’s first re-productive endocrinologists.Working together at the EasternVirginia Medical School in Nor-folk, they accomplished the featwhen Judith Carr gave birth toElizabeth Carr, America’s first“test-tube baby,” by cesareansection at 7:46 a.m. on Dec. 28,1981, at what is now Sentara Nor-folk General Hospital.
The birth came two days be-fore Dr. Jones’s 71st birthday andthree years after Dr. Robert G.Edwards and a colleague hadopened a new era in medicinewith the birth, in England, of theworld’s first baby conceivedthrough in vitro fertilization, Lou-ise Brown. That achievement, forwhich Dr. Edwards was awarded

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. —Jeb Bush and his aides had envi-sioned a big, inclusive, high-minded speech about race on Fri-day in his home state of Florida, achance to bring his message ofcolorblind opportunity to a pres-tigious group of African-Ameri-can leaders.
In a rare gesture of bipartisan-ship, Mr. Bush even planned towarmly quote President Obama,usually the object of his derision.
Then Hillary Rodham Clintonstomped all over those plans.
In a biting surprise attack, de-livered as Mr. Bush, the formerFlorida governor, waited back-stage here at the annual conven-tion of the National UrbanLeague, Mrs. Clinton portrayed
him as a hypocrite who had setback the cause of black Ameri-cans.
It was an unexpected momentof political theater that seemed topresage what could be a bittergeneral-election rivalry betweentwo of the biggest names inAmerican politics.
Mrs. Clinton, a Democraticcandidate for president, latchedonto Mr. Bush’s campaign slogan
and the name of his “super PAC”—Right to Rise, his shorthand fora conservative agenda of self-reliance and hope — and turnedit into a verbal spear.
“People can’t rise if they can’tafford health care,” Mrs. Clintonsaid to applause from conven-tiongoers, a dig at Mr. Bush’s op-position to the Affordable CareAct.
“They can’t rise if the mini-mum wage is too low to live on,”she said, a jab at his opposition toraising the federal minimumwage.
“They can’t rise if their gover-nor makes it harder for them toget a college education,” she said,a critique of Mr. Bush’s decisionas governor to eliminate affirma-tive action in college admissions.

CINCINNATI — Six years ago,with crime creeping upward inthe tree-lined, if slightly down-trodden, neighborhoods encir-cling the University of Cincinnaticampus, the city and the uni-versity quietly signed an agree-ment giving the 72-member cam-pus police force authority to pa-trol nearby residential streets.
The goal was “increased vis-ibility,” university officials say,and the roughly 10,000 studentswho live in apartments and row-houses off campus noticed a dif-ference. Campus officers walkedthem home late at night or gavethem rides. “I feel like crime hasgotten pushed out,” said one sen-ior, Jen Steiner, 21.
But the fatal shooting of an un-armed black motorist, SamuelDuBose, by a white campus po-lice officer who now faces murdercharges, is forcing officials to re-consider a policy in which theCincinnati Police Departmentempowered a less racially di-verse — and, critics say, inade-quately trained — force to patrolan area far more complex than itscampus home base.
The Hamilton County prosecu-tor has called for the campusforce to be disbanded; the uni-versity has suspended neighbor-hood patrols and is initiating a“top to bottom” review. MayorJohn Cranley said he was con-cerned about the racial makeupand training of the campus force,and in an interview Friday, ChiefJeffrey Blackwell of the Cincin-nati police called for the agree-ment, signed by one of his prede-cessors, to be scrapped.
“If we’re going to have one, itneeds to be written in such amanner that is very restrictive inwhat it allows U.C. police to do in-side the confines of a large city,”Chief Blackwell said, adding, “Idon’t believe their officers havethe skill set to police Cincinnatiwith the same philosophy of fair-ness and cultural competencythat my officers display.”
Cincinnati has learned toughlessons since 2001, when it erupt-ed into riots over of the use ofdeadly force by the police againstblacks. The next year, the city en-tered into a federal consent de-cree that, many here say,spawned a new era in policing, in-cluding improvements in trainingand a shift to less aggressive tac-tics that leaders call “problemsolving.” But the decree, knownas the “collaborative agreement,”
