CLEVELAND — Hillary Clinton andDonald J. Trump ran virtually parallelcampaigns on Monday as they geared upfor the final stretch of the presidentialrace. She made nice with the news mediaby opening up her campaign plane andchatting with reporters. He followed suit,inviting a smaller group of reportersonto his plane and answering questionsduring the 30-minute flight.

She took along her running mate, andso did he, as both focused on Ohio and

nearly crossed paths in Cleveland. Theirmotorcades all but passed each other,and all four candidates’ planes ended upon the tarmac at Cleveland Hopkins In-ternational Airport at the same time.

Mrs. Clinton moved on several frontson Monday to confront nagging doubtsabout her candidacy, despite her com-fortable lead in many swing-state polls.Courting labor supporters, she met withunion leaders in Cleveland while her hus-band, Bill Clinton, appeared at a LaborDay parade in Detroit. Seeking the back-

ing of progressive voters, she enlistedher primary opponent, Senator BernieSanders of Vermont, who made his firstsolo appearance on Mrs. Clinton’s behalfat a rally in New Hampshire.

And her outreach to reporters includ-ed her most extensive question-and-an-swer session with them in months. Sheexpressed alarm “about the credible re-ports about Russian government inter-ference in our elections” through hack-ing, saying, “We’ve never had a foreign

President Obama, who hasweighed ruling out a first use of anuclear weapon in a conflict, ap-pears likely to abandon the pro-posal after top national securityadvisers argued that it could un-dermine allies and embolden Rus-sia and China, according to sev-eral senior administration offi-cials.

Mr. Obama considers a reduc-tion in the role of nuclear weaponsas critical to his legacy. But he hasbeen chagrined to hear critics, in-cluding some former senior aides,argue that the administration’ssecond-term nuclear moderniza-tion plans, costing up to $1 trillionin coming decades, underminecommitments he made in 2009.

For months, arms control advo-cates have argued for a series ofsteps to advance the pledge hemade to pursue “a world withoutnuclear weapons.” An unequivo-cal no-first-use pledge would havebeen the boldest of thosemeasures. They contend that as apractical matter no Americanpresident would use a nuclearweapon when so many other op-

WASHINGTON — The Ameri-can military’s extensive use ofdrones against the Islamic Stateand other terrorist groups has re-sulted in a shortage of Air Forcepilots and other personnel to oper-ate the aircraft, leading the Penta-gon to rely more on private con-tractors for reconnaissance mis-sions in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks,the Pentagon has used contrac-tors to perform many duties tradi-tionally carried out by uniformedpersonnel, like protecting militarybases and feeding service mem-

bers. The contractors who arenow serving as drone pilots arebased in the regions where thedrones are flown, and they are le-gally prohibited from being “trig-ger pullers” and firing weapons,Air Force officials said. But thereis no limit on the type of reconnais-sance they can perform, and theyare providing live video feeds ofbattles and special operations.

TAARNBY, Denmark — John-ny Christensen, a stout and silver-whiskered retired bank employee,always thought of himself as sym-pathetic to people fleeing war andwelcoming to immigrants. But af-ter more than 36,000 mostly Mus-lim asylum seekers poured intoDenmark over the past two years,Mr. Christensen, 65, said, “I’ve be-come a racist.”

He believes these new migrantsare draining Denmark’s cher-ished social-welfare system butfailing to adapt to its customs.“Just kick them out,” he said, un-

leashing a mighty kick at an imag-inary target on a suburban side-walk. “These Muslims want tokeep their own culture, but wehave our own rules here and ev-eryone must follow them.”

Denmark, a small and orderlynation with a progressive self-im-age, is built on a social covenant:In return for some of the world’shighest wages and benefits, peo-ple are expected to work hard andpay into the system. Newcomersmust quickly learn Danish — andadapt to norms like keeping tidygardens and riding bicycles.

The country had little experi-ence with immigrants until 1967,

when the first “guest workers”were invited from Turkey, Paki-stan and what was then Yugoslav-ia. Its 5.7 million people remainoverwhelmingly native born,though the percentage hasdropped to 88 now from 97 in 1980.

Bo Lidegaard, a prominent his-torian, said many Danes feelstrongly that “we are a multi-ethnic society today, and we haveto realize it — but we are not andshould never become a multicul-tural society.”

The recent influx pales next tothe one million migrants absorbedinto Germany or the 163,000 into

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. —Swell-looking home you’ve gothere. Ever think about selling it?How about to me, right now?

That is increasingly the ap-proach the house-hungry areusing in Silicon Valley, where thenumber of homes on the marketis so small that would-be buyersare driven to desperation. Theirsolution: seek out homes thatare, in theory at least, not forsale.

Sue Zweig grew up in thisworking-class community, backwhen people said it was for thenewly wed and the nearly dead.Not long ago, when she was outwalking her dog, she began torealize things were different. Awoman pulled over, asked abouthouses for sale in the neighbor-hood and ended up spending 45minutes poking around Ms.Zweig’s living room and kitchen.

Her four-bedroom house wasnot on the market then, and itwas not on the market a year orso later when another eagerbuyer showed up. This time, Ms.Zweig, a nurse, and her husband,Steve Zweig, made a deal for$1.375 million, a seven-figureprofit over what they had paid in1987. They moved out of thehouse last year.

Phyllis Schlafly, whose grass-roots campaigns against Commu-nism, abortion and the EqualRights Amendment galvanizedconservatives for almost two gen-erations and helped reshapeAmerican politics, died on Mon-day. She was 92.

Her death was confirmed by theEagle Forum, the conservative or-ganization she founded in 1975.

In her time, Mrs. Schlafly wasone of the most polarizing figures

in American public life, a self-de-scribed housewife who displayeda moral ferocity reminiscent of theax-wielding prohibitionist CarryNation. Richard Viguerie, whomasterminded the use of directmail to finance right-wing causes,called her “the first lady of theconservative movement.”
