One increasingly common approach is “spoofing,” or using the registration data and identity of another ship, at times a sunken or out-of-service one, to avoid compliance with sanctions. One Cyprus-flagged oil tanker called Berlina was caught using this method when it was pinged near a Caribbean island but was spotted at the same time in Venezuela packing crude oil onto the ship. U.S. sanctions prohibit actions like these. Nine additional oil tankers, some of which had connections with the Berlina’s owner, have demonstrated similar discrepancies between a pinged location at sea and simultaneous changes in ship weight that indicate they have been loaded with crude oil, the Associated Press reported....

Originally scheduled for October 24, “From Chopin to Gershwin” was to be a classical-music event celebrating a century of diplomatic relations between Poland and America, with performances including selections from Porgy and Bess and Rhapsody in Blue.

Gazeta Polska, a Polish magazine, made headlines last month for selling “LGBT-free zone” stickers, depicting the rainbow flag with a black “X” running through it....
