Roger Ailes, the chairman ofFox News, was accused onWednesday of forcing out a promi-nent female anchor after she re-fused his sexual advances andcomplained to him about persist-ent harassment in the newsroom,a startling accusation against per-haps the most powerful man intelevision news.

In a lawsuit, the anchor,Gretchen Carlson, a longtime Foxemployee who left the networklast month, portrays Mr. Ailes as aloutish and serial sexual harasser,accusing him of ogling her in hisoffice, calling her “sexy,” and de-scribes a boys’ club environmentat the network.

Her charges — including the ac-

cusation that Mr. Ailes explicitlyasked Ms. Carlson for a sexual re-lationship during a meeting in hisoffice — amounted to an almostunprecedented public attack onMr. Ailes, a towering figure in me-dia and Republican politics whotypically enjoys absolute loyaltyfrom his employees.

Late Wednesday, the parentcompany of Fox News, 21st Cen-tury Fox, issued a measured state-ment, saying it had “full confi-dence’’ in Mr. Ailes, but had initi-ated an internal review of Ms.Carlson’s charges. “We take thesematters seriously,” the companysaid.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign an-nounced a proposal on Wednes-day to eliminate tuition at in-statepublic colleges and universitiesfor families with annual incomesup to $125,000 — largely embrac-ing a core position of SenatorBernie Sanders, who had pledgedto make tuition at public institu-tions free for all students.

While stopping short of Mr.Sanders’s vision, the proposal islikely to hearten many of the sena-tor’s young supporters who hadflocked to his insurgent campaign.Mrs. Clinton and her aides areworking to unite the party behindher before the Democratic Na-tional Convention begins on July25 in Philadelphia. She and Mr.Sanders have already discussedthe importance of featuring the is-sue of the affordability of highereducation prominently in the gen-eral election.

Mr. Sanders, who has yet to endhis candidacy and endorse Mrs.Clinton, praised her educationproposal as a “very bold initia-tive” in a brief news conference inWashington on Wednesday, call-ing it a significant step for partyunity. “The final product is thework of both campaigns,” he said— a clear sign of thawing relationsbetween the two after a bitterlyfought nominating contest.

The policy proposals come asMrs. Clinton has been engaged inintensely personal sparring withDonald J. Trump, the presumptiveRepublican nominee, and could bean effort to turn the page in hercampaign a day after the F.B.I. di-rector, James B. Comey, wassharply critical of her “extremelycareless” use of a private emailaddress and server.

Under Mrs. Clinton’s educationproposal, the federal governmentwould provide tuition grants tostates that agree to put up somematching money. In some re-spects, the proposal was similar toone Mrs. Clinton made last year.At that time, however, she said shewould expect families to make a“realistic contribution” to tuitionpayments.

Also, borrowing a key aspect ofMr. Sanders’s plan, the new pro-posal appears to make tougher de-mands on states than her previousone.

Education policy experts gen-erally praised the new proposal,calling the requirements for statefinancial participation essential toreversing the drastic state cuts inhigher education support. Butsome experts said details of theinitiative — including exactly howit would work and be paid for —were sketchy, and raised concernsthat some states would decline tocontribute money.

They also raised questionsabout the impact on private col-leges and universities with smallendowments that compete with

Timofey Mozgov is a journey-man N.B.A. player who averaged6.3 points a game last season. Lastweek he agreed to a four-year, $64million deal with the Los AngelesLakers. It was a little like a charac-ter actor suddenly being paidmore than Will Smith for a bit partin a summer blockbuster.

The past week in the N.B.A., in

which players whose contractshad expired began to negotiatenew deals, has turned the sportseconomy on its head. An infusionof billions of dollars into theleague’s coffers from a televisioncontract agreed upon two yearsago has led to this: That randomguy on the bench is getting up-ward of $15 million a year.

After his deal was announced,Mozgov told The Los Angeles

Daily News that he planned tospend the summer “sitting on thebeach and drinking a piña colada.”Or five million piña coladas.

Matthew Dellavedova, who lastseason often sat on the ClevelandCavaliers’ bench alongside Moz-gov, also cashed in, agreeing to afour-year, $38 million deal withthe Milwaukee Bucks. Ryan An-derson, a sharpshooter who playsquestionable defense, scored $80

million over four years with theHouston Rockets. That annualrate, $20 million, is higher thanwhat any player made on last sea-son’s 73-win Golden State War-riors, including Stephen Curry,the league’s two-time most valu-able player.

The numbers were even biggerfor players considered more tal-ented, even if they are not recog-

BATON ROUGE, La. — TheJustice Department opened a civilrights investigation on Wednes-day into the fatal shooting of ablack man by the Baton Rouge,La., police after a searing video ofthe encounter, aired repeatedly ontelevision and social media, reig-nited contentious issues sur-rounding police killings of Afri-can-Americans.

Officials from Gov. John Bel Ed-wards to the local police andelected officials vowed a completeand transparent investigation andappealed to the city — after anumbing series of high-profile, ra-cially charged incidents else-where — to remain calm.

“I have full confidence that thismatter will be investigated thor-oughly, impartially and profes-sionally,” Mr. Edwards said in an-nouncing the federal takeover ofthe case. “I have very serious con-cerns. The video is disturbing, tosay the least.”

In Louisiana

WASHINGTON — Questionsraised by the F.B.I. about the StateDepartment’s handling of HillaryClinton’s emails have cast a cloudof doubt over the political futuresof a number of her top advisers, in-cluding some expected to holdhigh-level jobs in her administra-tion if she is elected president.

Though Attorney General Lo-retta E. Lynch formally affirmedon Wednesday that the JusticeDepartment would not seek crimi-nal charges against anyone in theemail case, fallout from the matteris sure to affect several dozenState Department advisers who,records show, facilitated Mrs.Clinton’s unorthodox email ar-rangement or used it to send herclassified documents.

Among those drawing the mostintense scrutiny are Cheryl Mills,Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan,onetime aides who could face diffi-cult questions in pursuing securi-ty clearances for diplomatic or na-tional security posts because oftheir involvement with Mrs. Clin-ton’s emails.

The State Department said itwould restart an internal reviewinto the handling of Mrs. Clinton’semails now that Justice’s investi-gation is formally closed, and thatreview could threaten the securityclearances of several dozen othercareer officials and politicalappointees who knew of Mrs. Clin-ton’s private email server.

As for Mrs. Clinton, HouseSpeaker Paul D. Ryan saidWednesday that in light of theF.B.I.’s findings, intelligence offi-cials should deny her the classi-fied briefings normally given to

Iraqis on Wednesday mourned after a devastating car bombing in Baghdad that killed at least 250 people over the weekend.

New Suffering After Years of War

In July 2012, Steven Galack, theformer owner of a home remodel-ing business, was living in Floridawhen he was arrested on an out-of-state warrant for failing to paychild support. Mr. Galack, 46, hadcome to the end of a long down-ward spiral, overcoming apainkiller addiction only to strug-gle with crippling anxiety. Now, hewas to be driven more than a thou-sand miles to Butler County, Ohio,where his ex-wife and three chil-dren lived, to face a judge.

Like dozens of states and count-less localities, Butler County out-sources the long-distance trans-port of suspects and fugitives. Mr.Galack was loaded into a van runby Prisoner TransportationServices of America, the nation’slargest for-profit extradition com-pany.

Crammed around him were 10other people, both men and wom-en, all handcuffed and shackled atthe waist and ankles. They sattightly packed on seats inside acage, with no way to lie down tosleep. The air conditioning fal-tered amid 90-degree heat. Mr.Galack soon grew delusional,keeping everyone awake with abarrage of chatter and odd behav-ior. On the third day, the vanstopped in Georgia, and one of twoguards onboard gave a directiveto the prisoners. “Only bodyshots,” one prisoner said sheheard the guard say. The othersbegan to stomp on Mr. Galack, two

prisoners said.The guards said later in

depositions that they had first no-ticed Mr. Galack’s slumped, blood-ied body more than 70 miles later,in Tennessee. A homicide investi-gation lasted less than a day, andthe van continued on its journey.The cause of death was later foundto be undetermined.

“This is someone’s brother, fa-ther, and it’s like nobody evencared,” said Mr. Galack’s ex-wife,Kristin Galack.

Every year, tens of thousands of

fugitives and suspects — many ofwhom have not been convicted ofa crime — are entrusted to a hand-ful of small private companiesthat specialize in state and localextraditions.

A Marshall Project review ofthousands of court documents,federal records and local news ar-ticles and interviews with morethan 50 current or former guardsand executives reveals a patternof prisoner abuse and neglect inan industry that operates with al-most no oversight.

Since 2012, at least four people,including Mr. Galack, have died onprivate extradition vans, all ofthem run by the Tennessee-basedPrisoner Transportation Services.In one case, a Mississippi mancomplained of pain for a day and ahalf before dying from an ulcer. In
