U(D54G1D)y+[!:!@!$!" ANNA MONEYMAKER FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr., with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, far right, introduced the nominees for the chief national security posts. Confronting Global Threats Antony J. Blinken SECRETARY OF STATE: The choice of Mr. Blinken appears to be an effort to rebuild relationships with foreign leaders that have atrophied under the isolationist policies of President Trump. Jake Sullivan NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER: Mr. Sullivan is a former Rhodes schol- ar and a Yale Law School graduate. For- mer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called him a “once-in-a- generation talent.” Alejandro N. Mayorkas SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY: Mr. Mayorkas, who would be the first immi- grant and the first Latino to hold the post, may roll back some of the more punitive immigration policies. Avril D. Haines DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE: Ms. Haines, who served in both the Obama and Bush administrations, would be the first wom- an to serve as the country’s top intelli- gence official. John Kerry SPECIAL ENVOY FOR CLIMATE: Mr. Kerry’s newly created cabinet- level position carries with it a seat on the National Security Coun- cil. This is the first time an adviser on climate will join the group. Linda Thomas- Greenfield U.N. AMBASSADOR: With Ms. Thomas-Green- field, behind Ms. Harris above, the post will be restored to cabinet- level status, giving her a seat on the National Security Council. David N. Dinkins, a barber’s son who became New York City’s first Black mayor on the wings of racial harmony but who was turned out by voters after one term over his handling of racial vi- olence in Crown Heights, Brook- lyn, died on Monday night at his home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. He was 93. His death was confirmed by Mayor Bill de Blasio. It came less than two months after Mr. Dink- ins’s wife, Joyce Dinkins, died at 89. Cautious, deliberate, a Harlem Democrat who climbed to City Hall through relatively minor elective and appointive offices, Mr. Dinkins had none of the flam- boyance of Edward I. Koch, who preceded him, or Rudolph W. Giu- liani, who succeeded him — and who, along with Fiorello H. La Guardia in the 1930s and ’40s, were arguably the city’s most dominant mayors of the 20th cen- tury. Indeed, many historians and political experts say that as the 106th mayor of New York, from 1990 through 1993, Mr. Dinkins suffered by comparison with the Gullivers bestriding him. Mr. Dinkins was a compromise selection for voters exhausted by racial strife, corruption, crime and fiscal turmoil, and he proved to be an able caretaker, historians say, rather than an innovator of grand A Trailblazing Leader in a Time of Turmoil By ROBERT D. McFADDEN DAVID N. DINKINS, 1927-2020 David N. Dinkins, New York City’s only Black mayor, in 1990. The racial harmony he sought remained elusive during his term. VIC DELUCIA/THE NEW YORK TIMES Continued on Page A20 A day after the Trump adminis- tration effectively acknowledged the election of Joseph R. Biden Jr., investors showed their relief by pushing the two major stock mar- ket indexes to record highs on Tuesday. It was a welcome party of sorts for Mr. Biden, but what investors were really embracing was the end of uncertainty. The president- elect has vowed to push for more stimulus to bolster the economy. His selection for Treasury secre- tary, Janet L. Yellen, is well known from her days as Federal Reserve chair. And several new coronavi- rus vaccine candidates mean that the pandemic could be under con- trol in the months ahead. President Trump, who on the campaign trail had warned that Mr. Biden’s election would lead to stock market armageddon, on Tuesday implied that the day’s highs were his own doing, making an unscheduled stop at a White House briefing to play up the lat- est gains in the Dow Jones indus- trial average. “The stock market’s just broken 30,000 — never been broken, that number,” said Mr. Trump, who has often used the markets as a ba- rometer of his presidency. “That’s a sacred number, 30,000; nobody thought they’d ever see it.” He Sensing an End To Uncertainty, Wall St. Soars By MATT PHILLIPS Continued on Page A19 As President Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election have steadily disintegrated, the country appears to have escaped a doomsday scenario in the campaign’s epi- logue: Since Nov. 3, there have been no tanks in the streets or widespread civil un- rest, no brazen intervention by the judiciary or a partisan state legislature. Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s obvious victory has withstood Mr. Trump’s peddling of conspir- acy theories and his campaign of groundless lawsuits. In the end — and the postelec- tion standoff instigated by Mr. Trump and his party is truly nearing its end — the president’s attack on the election wheezed to an anticlimax. It was marked not by dangerous new political con- vulsions but by a letter from an obscure Trump-appointed bu- reaucrat, Emily W. Murphy of the General Services Administra- tion, authorizing the process of formally handing over the gov- ernment to Mr. Biden. For now, the country appears to have avoided a ruinous break- down of its electoral system. Next time, Americans might not be so lucky. While Mr. Trump’s mission to Trump’s Attack Is Stress-Testing Election System By ALEXANDER BURNS POLITICAL MEMO Continued on Page A15 As the coronavirus swept across the world, it picked up ran- dom alterations to its genetic se- quence. Like meaningless typos in a script, most of those mutations made no difference in how the vi- rus behaved. But one mutation near the be- ginning of the pandemic did make a difference, multiple new find- ings suggest, helping the virus spread more easily from person to person and making the pandemic harder to stop. The mutation, known as 614G, was first spotted in eastern China in January and then spread quickly throughout Europe and New York City. Within months, the variant took over much of the world, displacing other variants. For months, scientists have been fiercely debating why. Re- searchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory argued in May that the variant had probably evolved the ability to infect people more ef- ficiently. Many were skeptical, ar- guing that the variant may have been simply lucky, appearing more often by chance in large epi- demics, like Northern Italy’s, that seeded outbreaks elsewhere. But a host of new research — in- cluding close genetic analysis of outbreaks and lab work with ham- sters and human lung tissue — has supported the view that the mutated virus did in fact have a distinct advantage, infecting peo- ple more easily than the original variant detected in Wuhan, China.

Evidence of Significant Change From Initial Wuhan Variant Continued on Page A6 It was just hours before Mayor Bill de Blasio would reveal that New York City had reached a test positivity rate that would trigger the shutdown of the entire public school system, and he was coming under intense pressure to find a way to keep schools open. A group of parents was furi- ously circulating a petition calling on the mayor to relent and pro- moted it with the hashtag #Keep- NYCSchoolsOpen. Leading public health experts had loudly regis- tered their skepticism of the city’s plan to close schools before indoor dining. Local lawmakers joined in, demanding that Mr. de Blasio re- verse course. But even as he put off announc- ing his decision for hours, Mr. de Blasio and his team were reaching out to union leaders and princi- pals to let them know he would stand by his pledge to them to close schools when the city hit a 3 percent positivity rate. When Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo called to offer a strategy to keep the schools open at least for a few more days, the mayor rebuffed him. By 3 p.m., Mr. de Blasio went be- fore the cameras and made the de- cision official: Barely eight weeks after the system opened in an am- bitious attempt to help the city re- bound from the devastating im- pact of the pandemic, classrooms would once again be emptied.

Biden Jr. for- mally introduced a national secu- rity team on Tuesday custom de- signed to repudiate President Trump’s nationalistic isolation- ism. His nominee for secretary of state said in his remarks that Americans needed the “humility and confidence” to depend on al- lies. His choice to execute the na- tion’s immigration policy is a Cu- ban-American whose parents were refugees from Fidel Castro. And his new intelligence chief warned Mr. Biden when she spoke that she would bring him news that would be politically “incon- venient or difficult.” They were joined by a career Foreign Service officer who will serve as ambassador to the United Nations and John Kerry, who ran for president unsuccess- fully 16 years ago and then be- came President Barack Obama’s secretary of state. Mr. Biden ap- pointed him to a new role inside the National Security Council to put “climate change on the agenda in the Situation Room,” af- ter four years in which the Trump administration tried to have the words struck from summit com- muniqués and international agreements. But it was in Avril Haines’s pae- an to the intelligence community — which Mr. Trump often re- garded as a group of “deep state” renegades who wrongly tied him to Russia — that the contrast with the outgoing administration be- came clear. “To our intelligence professionals, the work you do — oftentimes under the most aus- tere conditions imaginable — is just indispensable,” said Ms. Haines, who would be the first woman to serve as director of na- tional intelligence, overseeing 16 separate agencies. Mr. Biden has hardly created a team of rivals. Many of his nomi- nees have worked together for years and as the “deputies” in the Obama administration who ran the gears of government at the White House, the State Depart- ment and the C.I.A. That also in- cludes the Department of Home- land Security, where Alejandro N. Mayorkas, who will oversee immi- gration policy, had served as dep- uty secretary before Mr. Biden named him to lead the depart- ment. Several are close friends. And most would be considered “liberal interventionists” who led the charge against Mr. Trump’s dis- missal of America’s traditional role as the keystone in both Atlan- tic and Pacific alliances. It all gave the Tuesday an- nouncement at Mr. Biden’s head- quarters in Wilmington the air of a restoration, or at least a class re- union. Yet in his comments, Mr. Biden also seemed to acknowledge that the dangers his team would con- front were starkly different from the ones they dealt with during the Obama presidency. “While this team has unmatched experi- ence and accomplishments, they also reflect the idea that we can- not meet these challenges with old thinking and unchanged habits,” he said.
