WHITESBURG, Ky. — Moon- shine packs a punch in this corner of Appalachia, where making hooch is steeped in local lore. But when Colin Fultz, the grandson of a bootlegger, opened a gourmet distillery here last fall, he ran afoul of a spirit even more potent than white lightning: University of Kentucky basketball. With his outlaw grandfather — who spent 18 years behind bars for smuggling — very much on his mind, Mr. Fultz, a businessman and onetime coal miner, set out to carry on his family’s tradition in a legal, and thoroughly modern, way. He tinkered with recipes, blend- ing peaches and blackberries into mash brewed in his garage. He hired a lawyer — “My wife got on me, said I was going to get into trouble,” he said — and renovated an old car dealership, where he now distills and sells fruit-infused whiskey, serving it in thimble-size cups from an exposed-brick tast- ing bar. But Mr. Fultz also tried to trade- mark his business name: Ken- tucky Mist Moonshine. And that, sports lovers, is how a moonshine maker wound up suing the Uni- versity of Kentucky — the basket- ball behemoth exalted by its “Big Blue Nation” of fans — in federal court over a fundamental ques- tion: Who owns the rights to the name of the state?

GEORGE ETHEREDGE FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES Continued on Page 13 WASHINGTON — When it comes to nominating presidential candidates, it turns out the world’s foremost democracy is not so purely democratic. For decades, both major parties have used a somewhat convoluted process for picking their no- minees, one that involves ordi- nary voters in only an indirect way. As Americans flock this year to outsider candidates, the kind most hindered by these rules, they are suddenly waking up to this reality. And their confusion and anger are adding another vol- atile element to an election being waged over questions of fairness and equality. In Nashville a week ago, supporters of Donald J. Trump ac- cused Republican leaders of try- ing to stack the state’s delegate slate with people who were anti- Trump. The Trump campaign posted the cellphone number of the state party chairman on Twit- ter, leading him to be inundated with calls. Several dozen people showed up at the meeting at which delegates were being named, banged on the windows and de- manded to be let in. Backers of Senator Bernie Sanders, bewildered at why he keeps winning states but cannot seem to cut into Hillary Clinton’s delegate count because of her overwhelming lead with “superdelegates,” have used Red- dit and Twitter to start an ag- gressive pressure campaign to flip votes. Javier Morillo, a member of the Democratic National Committee and a superdelegate from Minne- sota, said he had discovered his email posted on a website called a “Superdelegate Hit List.” The list PRIMARY PROCESS HAS MANY VOTERS FEELING SIDELINED ANGER OVER DELEGATES Supporters of Outsider Candidates Upend Political Parties By JEREMY W. PETERS Continued on Page 15 SYDNEY, Australia — Kim Cobb, a marine scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, expected the coral to be damaged when she plunged into the deep blue waters off Kiritimati Island, a remote atoll near the center of the Pacific Ocean. Still, she was stunned by what she saw as she descended some 30 feet to the rim of a coral outcropping. “The entire reef is covered with a red-brown fuzz,” Dr. Cobb said when she returned to the surface after her recent dive. “It is other- worldly. It is algae that has grown over dead coral. It was devastat- ing.” The damage off Kiritimati is part of a mass bleaching of coral reefs around the world, only the third on record and possibly the worst ever. Scientists believe that heat stress from multiple weather events including the latest severe El Niño, compounded by climate change, has threatened more than a third of Earth’s coral reefs. Many may not recover. Coral reefs are the crucial incu- bators of the ocean’s ecosystem, providing food and shelter to a quarter of all marine species, and they support fish stocks that feed more than one billion people. They are made up of millions of tiny an- imals, called polyps, that form symbiotic relationships with al- gae, which in turn capture sun- light and carbon dioxide to make sugars that feed the polyps. An estimated 30 million small- scale fishermen and women de- pend on reefs for their livelihoods, more than one million in the Phil- ippines alone. In Indonesia, fish supported by the reefs provide the primary source of protein. “This is a huge, looming planetary crisis, and we are stick- ing our heads in the sand about it,” said Justin Marshall, the director of CoralWatch at Australia’s Uni- versity of Queensland.

PAGE 9 A Breakthrough in Belgium FREMONT, Calif. — The bang- ing on the door jolted Sal Shafi awake. F.B.I. agents were looking for his son. “Where’s Adam?” they yelled. “Where’s Adam?” Terrified, Mr. Shafi led the agents, guns drawn, up the stairs toward his son’s bedroom. He watched as they led his 22-year- old son away in handcuffs, backed by evidence of Adam Shafi’s ter- rorist ambitions. He had come to the attention of officials not by a well-placed in- formant or a sting operation. His father, concerned and looking for help, had simply picked up the phone and led the government right to his son. For months, over the objections of his lawyer, Mr. Shafi had been talking to the F.B.I., believing he was doing the right thing. “My God,” he thought, soon af- ter the arrest in July. “I just de- stroyed Adam.” Had things been different, Mr. Shafi, 62, a Silicon Valley execu- tive, might have become a much- needed spokesman for the Obama administration’s counterradical- ization campaign. Who better to talk to other parents about the se- ductive pull of terror organiza- tions? Trust the government, he would tell them. They do not want to take away your children. Despite nascent efforts to steer young people away from terror- ism, the government’s strategy remains largely built on persuad- ing people to call the F.B.I. when they first suspect a problem. “Alert law enforcement,” Attor- ney General Loretta Lynch said in December. “It could simply be your neighbor having a bad day. But better be safe than sorry.” For parents, particularly those who see their children as mis- guided but not dangerous, the de- cision to make that call can be ago- nizing.

Ms. Saavedra had asked her husband to leave their Bronx apartment in late Janu- ary, after years of absorbing his abuse. But Mr. Uribe grew obsessed, cutting himself and, after Ms. Saavedra called the police, planting himself in the stairwell and knocking on her door. A short stay in a hospital psychiatric ward had not kept him from grasping at a vanishing marriage. He took to walking the 400 or so steps from his new home to Ms. Saavedra’s apartment — past a boxing gym, a pharmacy, two churches and a mosque — to watch who came and went. He followed her to Manhattan. He called their 16-year-old son, Uri, almost daily, ask- ing about a man who he suspected was Ms. Saavedra’s boyfriend. On Ms. Saavedra’s 34th birthday, March 7, Mr. Uribe waited in the hall outside her second-floor apartment, this time without knocking. When Ms. Saavedra opened the door to take their 11-year-old daughter, Naiyela, to school, he pushed his way past the girl and forced Ms. Saavedra into her bedroom. She screamed her son’s name, but by the time Uri broke down the door, his mother had been stabbed 13 times. His father, shirtless, moved the 12-inch kitchen knife from one hand to the other before plunging it into his own rib cage, forcefully enough to pierce his heart. Mr. Uribe’s dead body cases often take shape out of the Police De- partment’s view — less than one-third of victims and abusers in domestic homi- cides have had previous contact with offi- cers — frustrating an agency that is trying to home in on the most violent and vulnera- ble people. And, like gang killings and attacks by mentally ill people, domestic murders oc- cur overwhelmingly in poor neighbor- hoods, where jobs are scarce and seeking help from city agencies is not necessarily the norm. Among those neighborhoods is Mott Haven, part of the 40th Precinct, a two-square-mile trapezoid at the southern crumpled on top of his wife’s. A neighbor, Celin Feble, 16, heard Ms. Saavedra screaming “Stop, please stop!” She did not understand the gravity of what was happening until she saw Naiyela, weeping, emerge onto the sidewalk with a small black-and-white dog. Uri walked out- side with blood all over his hands. As murders in New York City have fallen to record lows in recent years, domestic killings have come to make up an ever larger part of detectives’ workloads.
