braced cutting-edge techniques to
improve the appearance of recon-
structed breasts and give them a
more natural “look and feel” — us-

that their reconstructed breasts
will look even better than the
breasts they had before. But they
often describe the potential conse-
quences of the surgery in ambigu-

that sensation and sexual arousal
will not be restored is not made
clear.

word “feel,” said Dr. Clara Lee, an

French Socialists Pick Idealistic Candidate in Presidential Primary Runoff

By ALISSA J. RUBIN
PARIS — France chose an ide-
alistic, traditional left-leaning can-
didate in Sunday’s primary to rep-
resent the Socialist and center-left
parties in the presidential election
this spring.
The candidate, Benoît Hamon,
49, who ran on the slogan that he
would “make France’s heart beat,”
bested Manuel Valls, the former
prime minister, whose campaign
has promoted more free-market
policies and who has a strong law-
and-order background.
Mr. Hamon appeared to have

A Decade Later, Little Justice for Victims of Nepal’s Maoist Rebellion

Commission Faulted
As a Deadline Nears
By KAI SCHULTZ
MANGRAGADI, Nepal — Nara-
yan Tharu, 56, was harvesting sugar
cane the day the soldiers took his son
away.
Twelve years ago, when news first
spread that the boy, Tirtha, 17, had
been detained on suspicion of being a
Maoist, Mr. Tharu was hunched over
in a field, where he worked as a
bonded laborer. By the time a neigh-
bor reached him in the afternoon, vil-
lagers had discovered articles of his
son’s clothing flung up in a tree. At
dusk, a naked body, dead and buried
up to the neck, was found under a
bridge.
“His head was not buried,” Mr.
Tharu said of the episode in this vil-
lage in western Nepal. “The whole
body had been buried, but his head
was only covered with leaves, so that
people could see who it was.”
Last year, Mr. Tharu joined thou-
sands of others in filing a formal
grievance with the country’s Truth
and Reconciliation Commission,
formed in 2015 to investigate war
crimes committed during Nepal’s
Maoist rebellion, which lasted from
1996 to 2006 and claimed nearly
18,000 lives. Over 58,000 complaints
have been collected against mem-
bers of the army and political parties
documenting cases of torture, rape
and murder. RUTH FREMSON/ THE NEW YORK TIMES

Demonstrators gathered on Sunday in Copley Square to protest President Trump’s executive order restricting immigration from seven nations, which was issued on Friday.

Demonstrators in Streets and at Airports

Protest Trump Order on Immigration
By NIRAJ CHOKSHI and NICHOLAS FANDOS
Demonstrators turned out in force and on short notice at
rallies across the country on Sunday to condemn President
Trump’s executive order restricting immigration.
Protesters amassed in public spaces and at airports to op-
pose the order, which they assailed as un-American, even as
the administration defended it as crucial to improving na-
tional security. The executive order, signed on Friday,
stranded travelers around the world over the weekend and
caused widespread confusion.
In Washington, protesters gathered by the thousands out-
side the front lawn of the White House to show their disgust
with Mr. Trump’s decision and their solidarity with Muslims.
“Shame,” they chanted, hoisting homemade signs toward
the Executive Mansion, where Mr. Trump was scheduled to
spend part of the day making telephone calls to foreign lead-
ers and later hosting a private screening of “Finding Dory,” an
animated film about a fish who travels the ocean in hopes of
reuniting with its family.
“No hate, no fear,” the protesters added later. “Refugees
are welcome here.”
Among the protesters were some former Obama adminis-
tration appointees.
Matt Nosanchuk, who served as the White House’s liaison
to the Jewish community under President Barack Obama
from 2013 to 2016, said on Sunday that he had been in touch
with several former colleagues as they made plans to attend
the hastily arranged protest and ran into others in the crowd.
“What Trump may not realize is you have a whole cadre of
Obama appointees who are really good organizers, who have
been activated and who are not going to stand by,” he said.
Security fencing and reviewing stands still in place from
Inauguration Day kept crowds at a distance from the White
House but did not stop the numbers from swelling through the
afternoon, when the protesters left to march to Capitol Hill.
As marchers passed the Trump International Hotel in
Washington, boos and profanities filled Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. Elsewhere in the city, protesters carrying signs and can-
dles marched up the sidewalk opposite the vice president’s
house, most walking silently and many with children.
At a rally in Battery Park in Lower Manhattan, thousands
gathered in protest as nearby ferries shuttled visitors to the
Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

something that you believe in your heart is wrong, you must
speak out, and then act.”
For over an hour, speakers including Senators Chuck
Schumer and Kirsten E. Gillibrand of New York, Senator Cory
Booker of New Jersey, Mayor Bill de Blasio and immigrant
activists addressed the peaceful crowd amid chants of “No
ban, no wall,” “Let them in” and “Impeach.”
As they did elsewhere in the country, lawyers stood in the
international arrivals terminal of San Francisco International
Airport, holding up signs offering free assistance to those
awaiting the arrival of family members from countries af-
fected by the Trump administration’s order.
Several thousand protesters, accompanied by a brass
band and drummers, paraded past check-in counters, chant-
ing, “Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here!”
In Arizona, which has taken more Syrian refugees than
any other state, a few hundred protesters greeted travelers
arriving at the busiest terminal at Phoenix Sky Harbor Inter-
national Airport, their signs facing the street, visible to any-
one who drove in. Many motorists honked, some to the beat of

IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN

Green Card Holders Can Stay as Trump Modifies Ban on Migrants

what they portrayed as a hyper-
ventilating news media for the
confusion and said the order had
been successfully carried out.
Only about 109 travelers were de-
tained in the first 24 hours, out of
the 325,000 who typically enter
the United States in a day, they
said. As of Sunday evening, the
Department of Homeland Securi-
ty said 392 green card holders had
been granted waivers to enter.
That did not count many visitors
who remained overseas now un-
able to travel.
Reince Priebus, the White
House chief of staff, said Mr.
Trump simply did what he had
promised on the campaign trail
and would not gamble with Ameri-
can lives. “We’re not willing to be
wrong on this subject,” he said on
“Face the Nation” on CBS. “Presi-
dent Trump is not willing to take
chances on this subject.”
The order bars entry to ref-
ugees from anywhere in the world
for 120 days and from Syria indefi-
nitely. It blocks any visitors for 90
days from seven designated coun-
tries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia,
Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The De-
partment of Homeland Security
initially said the order would bar
green card holders from those
seven countries from returning to
the United States.
With thousands of protesters
chanting outside his White House
windows and thronging the

defended his order. “To be clear,

IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN

Lives Rewritten With the Stroke of a Pen

An Iraqi mother on her way to see her son, who seemed to have gotten lost at Kennedy Airport in New York. An Iranian medical
researcher and specialist in tuberculosis whose boarding pass suddenly yielded a red light at a gate in Frankfurt. Brothers from Yem-
en, expecting to join their father in Michigan, turned back and sent to Ethiopia, where they were stranded indefinitely.
At 4:42 p.m. on Friday in Washington, when President Trump signed his executive order barring refugees from entering the United
States and halting entry by citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries, he forcefully upended the lives of people who had
waited, sometimes for years, for the travel documents that would let them into the United States.
In the subsequent confusion, their fate often depended on a stroke of luck — good or bad. Here is a selection of portraits of those
affected by the ban; more are available at nytimes.com.

Tareq Aqel Mohammed

Aziz and Ammar Aziz
Stranded in a foreign country
When two brothers from Yemen landed at
Dulles International Airport in Virginia on
Saturday morning, they thought they would
be connecting to Flint, Mich., to join their
father. Instead, Tareq Aqel Mohammed Aziz,
21, and his brother Ammar, 19, were taken off
the plane, put into handcuffs and ushered
into a room. Two hours later, they were on
the same airplane back to Africa.
The two young men had immigrant visas,
meaning they were approved for legal per-
manent residency, because their father, Aqel
Muhammad Aziz, is a United States citizen.
“They took off two hours before the execu-
tive order was signed,” said their lawyer,
Simon Y. Sandoval-Moshenberg, legal direc-
tor of the Immigrant Advocacy Program at
the Legal Aid Justice Center. “They had no
idea what they were walking into.”
Because the United States embassy in
Yemen has been closed since 2015, the broth-
ers had to go to Djibouti to get their visas
approved. Mr. Sandoval-Moshenberg said
the brothers were told by officers in Virgin-
ia: “Your visa has been canceled. You need
to sign this form. If you don’t sign this form,
you are going to be barred from the United
States for five years.”
The brothers signed. But then customs
officers said they had to return to Africa
immediately. That most likely meant, Mr.
Sandoval-Moshenberg said, that they had
signed a form volunteering to give up their
permanent residency rights.
Neither their lawyers nor the men’s father
knew what was happening, believing them

IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN

U.S. Immigration Policy May Alienate Iraqis, Crucial Allies Against ISIS
By MICHAEL R. GORDON
and ERIC SCHMITT
WASHINGTON — President
Trump’s executive order on immi-
gration is straining relations with
the partner the United States
needs most to reclaim the Islamic
State’s stronghold in Mosul: the
Iraqis.
Iraqi officials were taken aback
by the directive, which they
learned about through the Ameri-
can news media because they had
not been consulted first.
The order blocks citizens from
Iraq and six other predominantly
Muslim countries from entering
the United States for 90 days. That
lumps Iraq together with Iran,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and
Yemen, nations with no strategic
alliance with Washington.
“The effect is that many Iraqis
will feel that the United States
does not want a long-term rela-
tionship with Iraq,” said Lukman
Faily, who completed a three-year
stint as Iraq’s ambassador to
Washington in June. “We hope it is
a blip. It makes it difficult for us to
decipher what President Trump is
up to with regard to Iraq.”
Mr. Faily has been directly af-
fected by the order. Though he
holds dual British and Iraqi citi-
zenship, he said information he
had received from the American
Embassy in Baghdad indicated

WASHINGTON — Senator Bob

The swelling anger over Mr.

THE WEEK AHEAD

Apple Results Coming;

Fed Prepares to Convene
TECHNOLOGY
Sales of iPhone 7 May Return Company to Growth
Strong sales of the iPhone 7 mean that Apple probably returned to
growth in the quarter that ended in December after revenue declines
in the previous three quarters. Apple’s results, which will be reported
on Tuesday after the market closes, will include three full months of
sales of the company’s latest smartphone models, including the su-
persize iPhone 7 Plus, which was introduced in September. Analysts
say that Apple benefited from Samsung’s global recall of the Galaxy
Note 7 after battery problems caused the devices to catch fire. Wall
Street will look for clues about the 10th-anniversary iPhones, due out
this fall, as well as the performance of Apple’s fast-growing service

ECONOMY
Fed Officials Will Be Back at Center Stage
The Federal Reserve probably doesn’t mind that nobody has been
paying much attention to monetary policy lately. The Fed’s chair-
woman, Janet Yellen, joked recently that she hoped stories about the
central bank would move from the front page to the 19th page of the
newspaper. But the Fed will make a brief return to center stage on
Tuesday and Wednesday, when officials gather in Washington for the
first policy-making meeting of the year. The central bank has pre-
dicted three rate increases in 2017, but the first is unlikely to come in
January. Fed officials, just like everyone else, are waiting to see what
effect the Trump administration will have on the economic outlook.

Visa Ban

In Limbo
An order affects films,
theater and museums.
By RACHEL DONADIO
PARIS — The Iranian director of “The
Salesman,” which is nominated for an
Academy Award for best foreign-lan-
guage film, won’t attend next month’s
Oscars ceremony. The Metropolitan
Museum of Art worries that exhib-
itions, archaeological surveys and ex-
cavations with institutions in the Mid-
dle East will have to be canceled or
curtailed. And the Sundance Institute
Theater Program may have to scale
back its exchange program with art-
ists from the Middle East and North
Africa.
As President Trump’s executive or-
der seeking to keep many foreigners
from entering the United States
sowed widespread confusion
throughout the immigration system
and at airports around the globe, cul-
tural figures and institutions were cal-
culating how the new policies would
harm their art and missions.

In the film, his daughter, Susie, says
she learned how to talk in sound bites
to a father more immersed with finan-
cial issues than his children’s. “You
lose him to some giant thought he had
in his head at the time,” she said.
Mr. Buffett doesn’t quibble with
what is onscreen. “It’s really an accu-
rate portrayal,” he said. “I make no
claim to perfection.”
Susie Buffett, in a telephone inter-
view, said she hoped the film captured
Mr. Buffett in full. “I think people get
so star-struck with the money and the
fame, and they don’t know that he’s
just a person,” she said.
“Becoming Warren Buffett” isn’t
the first work to look at the man as
well as the investor. Mr. Buffett co-
operated in the writing of “The Snow-
ball,” an authorized biography by Al-
ice Schroeder that the mogul is less
than fond of these days. (Mr. Buffett
says diplomatically that the book was
good in many ways, but also had er-
rors.)
But the effect is different when the
movie features dozens of old family
photos and interviews with Mr. Buf-
fett, his sisters and his children, and
Bill and Melinda Gates. Mr. Buffett’s
first wife and the mother of his chil-

AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Federer Overcomes Age, and a Longtime Adversary

Vanquishes Nadal in 5 Sets
For First Major Win in 5 Years
By CHRISTOPHER CLAREY
MELBOURNE, Australia — It was Roger Fed-
erer’s unlikeliest victory in a Grand Slam tourna-
ment — quite a statement for a 35-year-old who
has now won 18 of them.
But where else should one rank this Australian
Open, where Federer was rightfully viewed as an
underdog? Where he arrived seeded just 17th,
having not played an official tournament for more
than six months? Where he faced his friendly ri-
val Rafael Nadal in the final on sore legs?
Even Federer’s own expectations were tem-
pered for a change.
“I would have said a great event would be quar-
ters,” Federer said. “Fourth round would be nice.”
Federer would get a great deal more than that
in Melbourne, a city where his success has min-
gled with plenty of heartache and tears through
the years.
He wiped away a few more on Sunday as he be-
came the oldest man to win a Grand Slam singles
title in 45 years. He managed it by defeating
Nadal, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, to win the Australian
Open for the fifth time.
“You don’t know if they ever come back, these
moments,” said Federer, who had not won a major

beaten Nadal in a Grand Slam final since Wimble-
don in 2007.
Federer played here with verve and precision
but had to scrap his way through three five-set
matches in the final four rounds, receiving plenty
of treatment between duels. Although he did not
have to deal with the world’s two leading players,
Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic, who were up-
set in the first week, Federer did face top 10 oppo-
nents aplenty.
He defeated four of them: Tomas Berdych, Kei
Nishikori, Stan Wawrinka and — most important
— Nadal, the swashbuckling Spanish left-hander
who has so often thwarted Federer on big occa-
sions but who failed to seal the deal on Sunday de-
spite taking a 3-1 lead in the fifth set.
That was perhaps when Federer’s tempered ex-
pectations helped him most. This really did feel
like gravy after all the major meals he has enjoyed
through the years, and he stuck with the game

Ljubicic, had discussed.

Federer Overcomes Age, and a Longtime Rival

From First Sports Page

nent. Be free in your head. Be free in your
shots. Go for it. The brave will be re-
warded here. I didn’t want to go down
just making shots, seeing forehands rain
down on me from Rafa.”
Few could have foreseen this final
when the Australian Open began. This
was Federer’s first official tournament
after a long break because of knee prob-
lems in 2016. Nadal ended last season
early, too, after an injury to his left wrist.
And yet the occasion felt so familiar, in-
citing global interest and nostalgia for
the days when Federer-Nadal summit
meetings were a staple.
But this was not business as usual for
Federer on a court that he repeatedly
maintained was playing quicker than in
past years. His one-handed backhand
has long been his weak link against
Nadal, whose whipping topspin forehand
has forced Federer to hit too many back-
hands above the shoulder — and too
many backhands, period.
Federer took a more proactive ap-
proach Sunday, driving his backhand for
much of the match instead of relying on
his more neutral slice. He ripped through
his backhand returns as well, and Nadal
— not quite at his relentless best — was
unable to grind him down. With the
match in his grasp, Nadal wavered while
Federer let his elegant strokes fly.
“He did not surprise me,” Nadal said.
“He was playing aggressively, and I un-
derstand that in a match against me. I
don’t think it would have been intelligent
to try to get into too many long rallies
from the baseline. I don’t think he would
have won. He went for it, and it was the
right thing for him to do.”
The result was a brisk five-setter by
Nadal’s standards. The Spaniard re-
quired 4 hours 56 minutes to beat Feder-
er’s stylistic acolyte, Grigor Dimitrov,
and his one-handed backhand in the
