Jim Jordan of Ohio could become the next speaker of the House, and questions are resurfacing about his role in a sexual abuse scandal at Ohio State University.

To win, he'll need support from nearly every House Republicans, having few votes to spare in a chamber they only narrowly control. “One person says disruption," Jordan told The Associated Press in 2017. That helped him land a coaching job at Ohio State University before his election to the Ohio legislature in the mid 1990s. I never saw, never, heard of, never was told about any kind of abuse,” Jordan told Fox News in 2018, suggesting that the allegations against him were politically motivated. Jordan repeatedly cast doubt on the outcome of the contest while organizing the House Republican response.

A group of former Ohio State University wrestlers said Jim Jordan shouldn't be the next speaker. The wrestlers have accused Jordan of ignoring reports of sexual abuse by a team doctor. Each of the wrestlers competed for Ohio State University at the same time that school doctor Richard Strauss worked with the program and have alleged that Strauss sexually abused them. Yetts, who has said that he and several teammates personally told Jordan on repeated occasions about Strauss' sexual abuse, now says that Jordan "doesn't deserve to be House speaker." Jordan has repeatedly denied that he had any knowledge of the sexual abuse against Ohio State wrestlers until the wrestlers themselves began speaking out about it in the media.

☆ How Classical Composers Made Music After the Holocaust

Perhaps she’d learned them in the early days after the war, when she’d performed with Holocaust survivors at a hospital in 1945. Jansen does not appear in Jeremy Eichler’s new book, “Time’s Echo,” but the impulse to turn to music during and after the Holocaust is at the heart of it. Eichler, The Boston Globe’s chief classical music critic, suggests that music can help us remember what we’ve lost. “Time’s Echo” is an engrossing recovery project that reveals the depths of Europe’s ability — and inability — to mourn those losses. Not only do we remember music but, just as importantly, “music also remembers us,” Eichler argues.

☆ In Opera, Clocks Take the Spotlight

“At times I get up in the middle of the night and stop all the clocks. All of them,” an aging princess sings in “Der Rosenkavalier,” Richard Strauss’s sprawling opera of love, devotion and loss. But this year several productions around the world have been using clocks in their set designs, either as a subtle background item or so central that the timepiece seems like a character itself. Perhaps the opera most connected with clocks is “L’heure espagnole” (“Spanish Time”), Maurice Ravel’s one-act farce about a neurotic clockmaker and his unfaithful wife. It is being staged Aug. 22-26 at the Grimeborn Opera Festival in East London — with a twist.

Black men treated differentlyThe allegations against Anderson mirror those against disgraced USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar at Michigan State University and Richard Strauss at Ohio State University. This, she said, is often an issue when it comes to reporting issues like sexual abuse and murder. Gonczar has been spending time with Vaughn in his protest to show solidarity with abuse survivors at the University of Michigan. Gonczar now works as director of development at the Avalon Healing Center, which provides support for victims of sexual abuse. When Black men report that they have been victimized by others, “different stereotypes activate”, Curry added.
