In a remarkable statement thatseemed to cast doubt on Americandemocracy, Donald J. Trump saidWednesday that he might not ac-cept the results of next month’selection if he felt it was riggedagainst him — a stand that HillaryClinton blasted as “horrifying” attheir final and caustic debate onWednesday.
Mr. Trump, under enormouspressure to halt Mrs. Clinton’ssteady rise in opinion polls, cameacross as repeatedly frustrated ashe tried to rally conservativevoters with hard-line stands on il-legal immigration and abortionrights. But he kept finding himselfdrawn onto perilous political terri-tory by Mrs. Clinton and the de-bate’s moderator, Chris Wallace.
He sputtered when Mrs. Clintoncharged that he would be “a pup-pet” of President Vladimir V.Putin of Russia if elected. Helashed out repeatedly, saying that“she’s been proven to be a liar onso many different ways” and that“she’s guilty of a very, very seri-ous crime” over her State Depart-ment email practices. And by theend of the debate, when Mrs. Clin-ton needled him over Social Secu-rity, Mr. Trump snapped and said,“Such a nasty woman.”
Mrs. Clinton was repeatedlyforced to defend her long servicein government, which Mr. Trumpcharged had yielded no real ac-complishments. But she wasrarely rattled, and made a deter-mined effort to rise above Mr.Trump’s taunts while making
overtures to undecided voters.She particularly sought to ap-
peal to Republicans andindependents who have doubtsabout Mr. Trump, arguing that shewas not an opponent of the SecondAmendment as he claimed, andpromising to be tougher andshrewder on national securitythan Mr. Trump.
But it was Mr. Trump’s remarkabout the election results thatstood out, even in a race that hasbeen full of astonishing moments.
Mr. Trump insisted, without of-fering evidence, that the generalelection has been rigged againsthim, and he twice refused to saythat he would accept its result.
“I will look at it at the time,” Mr.Trump said. “I will keep you insuspense.”
“That’s horrifying,” Mrs. Clin-ton replied. “Let’s be clear aboutwhat he is saying and what thatmeans. He is denigrating — he istalking down our democracy. AndI am appalled that someone who isthe nominee of one of our two ma-jor parties would take that posi-tion.”
Mrs. Clinton then ticked off thenumber of times he had deemed asystem rigged when he suffered asetback, noting he had even calledthe Emmy Awards fixed when hisshow, “The Apprentice,’’ waspassed over.
“It’s funny, but it’s also reallytroubling,” she said. “That is notthe way our democracy works.”
Mrs. Clinton also accused Mr.

Since 1896, when Adolph S.Ochs bought The New YorkTimes, the Ochs-Sulzberger fam-ily has controlled the newspaper.It led the company through twoworld wars, the publication of thePentagon Papers, labor strife andsevere financial challenges, striv-ing to maintain the paper’s impor-tance even as new forms of mediathreatened to overtake it.
“The Times,” Arthur HaysSulzberger said in 1963 when henamed his son publisher, “is a fam-ily enterprise.”
On Wednesday, The Timescontinued that tradition, namingArthur Gregg Sulzberger, a mem-ber of the fifth generation of thefamily, the deputy publisher. Theappointment positions him to suc-ceed his father as publisher andchairman of The New York TimesCompany.
The selection of Mr. Sulzberger,36, comes at a crucial moment forThe Times, converging with ashake-up in the newsroom leader-ship and the impending release ofthe so-called 2020 Report, a blue-print for reconfiguring the com-pany for a digital and mobile fu-ture. Dean Baquet, the executiveeditor of The Times, is reviewing adraft of the report and is expectedto release it in some form in a mat-ter of weeks.
At the same time, a downsizing
of the newsroom looms early nextyear, stirring anxiety amongemployees, who are already beinginstructed to embrace changes inthe pace, tone and form of TheTimes’s journalism.
The competition for the deputypublisher position was closelywatched in the newsroom, and thefact that the selection came earli-er than expected — the companyhad said it would happen by nextMay — will most likely be inter-preted as further evidence thatthe pace of change is quickening.

Deborah Danner’s essay re-counted her long, aching strugglewith schizophrenia, a battle thathad begun some 30 years earlier.
Filed away last year by a lawyerwho had been helping Ms. Danner,the neatly typed, six-page compo-sition depicted a disturbing roll ofmemories, like the early morningspent roaming the streets of NewYork City with a knife, searchingfor a place to end her own life.
And at one point, Ms. Dannerdescribed the fate that seemed tooften befall people like her. “Weare all aware of the all too frequentnews stories about the mentally illwho come up against law enforce-ment instead of mental health pro-fessionals,” she wrote, “and endup dead.”
On Tuesday, Ms. Danner, 66,was fatally shot by a policesergeant in her Bronx apartmentin a confrontation that was con-demned in swift and strikingterms by Mayor Bill de Blasio andPolice Commissioner James P.O’Neill.
Both the mayor and the com-missioner said the officer hadfailed to follow the Police Depart-ment’s protocol for dealing with

WASHINGTON — Investiga-tors pursuing what they believe tobe the United States’ largest caseof mishandling classified docu-ments have found that a NationalSecurity Agency contractor’strove of documents included top-secret hacking tools that were of-fered for sale on the Internet twomonths ago, according to officials
with knowledge of the case.They have been hunting for
electronic clues that could linkthose cybertools — computercode posted online for auction byan anonymous group calling itselfthe Shadow Brokers — to thehome computers of the contractor,Harold T. Martin III, who was ar-rested in late August on charges oftheft of government property andmishandling of classified informa-tion.
But so far, the investigatorshave been frustrated in their at-tempt to prove that Mr. Martin de-liberately leaked or sold the hack-ing tools to the Shadow Brokers or,alternatively, that someonehacked into his computer or other-wise took them without his knowl-edge. While they have found someforensic clues that he might be thesource, the evidence is not conclu-sive, according to a dozen officials

She mansplained him. “Let metranslate that if I can,” HillaryClinton said dryly after Donald J.Trump talked up his tax plan.
She interrupted him. When Mr.Trump boasted of the gilded LasVegas hotel that bears his name,Mrs. Clinton leaned into her mi-crophone. “Made with Chinese
steel,” she quipped with a smile.She mocked him. After Mr.
Trump said President Vladimir V.Putin of Russia had “no respect”for her, Mrs. Clinton slyly positedwhy Mr. Putin seemingly pre-ferred Mr. Trump: “He’d ratherhave a puppet as president of theUnited States,” she said.
In the third and final presiden-tial debate, Mrs. Clintonoutmaneuvered Mr. Trump with asurprising new approach: his.
Flipping the script, she turnedherself into his relentless tormen-tor, condescending to him repeat-edly and deploying some of hisown trademark tactics againsthim.
The relatively subdued andlargely defanged Republicannominee who showed up onstagein Las Vegas was a different figurefrom the candidate America haswatched for the past 16 months.
Mr. Trump was, for much of the
night, oddly calm and composed.He minimized his name-calling.His interruptions were relativelyrare.
In a debate that his allies andaides had predicted would repre-sent 90 minutes of scorched-earthverbal warfare, Mr. Trumpseemed deserted by his most belli-cose instincts.
