Question: What is Guardiola's mission?

So it falls to Rummenigge and to Sammer to plot the future. They say they trust in Guardiola, even if his mission to change the style of play employed under Heynckes is, at best, an unfinished project. In part, the problem is that Bayern does not have to be the best in Europe to win the German league. With Borussia Dortmund having stumbled — brought down by Munich’s ability to lure or, if necessary, buy Dortmund’s finest players — the next-closest team has routinely been 15 points off the pace in challenging Bayern in the Bundesliga this season.

Question: Who is the director of Our Brand is Crisis?

‘Our Brand Is Crisis’ (R, 1:47) This hard-working comedy stars Sandra Bullock as a mercenary political consultant trying to strategize a former Bolivian president, Castillo (Joaquim de Almeida), back into office. Directed by David Gordon Green and stuffed with fine actors, the movie has outrage and some laughs, but no teeth. (Dargis) ‘Pan’ (PG, 1:51) Ostensibly an origin story about Peter Pan, this woeful would-be blockbuster, directed by the usually competent Joe Wright, is a murky, lumpy stew of pop-culture borrowings, from Harry Potter to “Avatar.” (Scott)

Question: What country is providing training for the Ukrainian?

The training aims to remold the Ukrainian units by increasing the responsibilities of noncommissioned officers, fixing a Soviet legacy of an officer-heavy infantry. Without sergeants paying attention, basic mistakes were being made, the trainers said. Capt. Nicholas Salimbene, an American trainer, noticed with alarm that the Ukrainians were carrying their rifles with the safeties off. “It’s about the professionalism of the force,” he said. “We want them to look like soldiers.” “You see reports about the little green men,” he said, referring to the Russian soldiers who invaded the Crimean Peninsula last year in unmarked uniforms, “and they all walk around professionally, and carry their weapons professionally.” The Ukrainians should, too, Captain Salimbene said. The United States is also providing advanced courses for military professionals known as forward observers — the ones who call in targets — to improve the accuracy of artillery fire, making it more lethal for the enemy and less so for civilians. Oleksandr I. Leshchenko, the deputy director for training in the National Guard, was somewhat skeptical about the value of the training, saying that “99 percent” of the men in the course had already been in combat.

Question: What will the coach not be happy about?

Until his health began to fail, we traveled to see the Cubs in San Francisco and San Diego, and Arizona, where in 2007 we took my son, Alex, to the first round of the National League playoffs so he could be duly indoctrinated: two games against the Diamondbacks, two losses by the Cubs. In truth, as time passes, the results have mattered less than the time we had together. The Cubs have been, more than anything else, a shared experience. I will remember that this October, when they reach the World Series. I plan to take Alex with me. But first I will have to speak with his high school basketball coach. I do not imagine he will be happy about my son missing practice right before the start of the season, so I am prepared to explain that the Cubs do not play in a World Series every day. If necessary, there is a deal I am prepared to make.

Question: Where were the Israelites located?

It’s not that simple. The debate about race was very specific to America, modernity, the South. (Bans on interracial marriage were generally a white supremacist innovation, not an inheritance from Christendom or common law.) The slave owners and segregationists had scriptural arguments, certainly. But they were also up against one of the Bible’s major meta-narratives — from the Israelites in Egypt to Saint Paul’s “neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free.” That’s not the case with sex and marriage. The only clear biblical meta-narrative is about male and female. Sex is an area of Jewish law that Jesus explicitly makes stricter. What we now call the “traditional” view of sexuality was a then-radical idea separating the early church from Roman culture, and it’s remained basic in every branch of Christianity until very recently. Jettisoning it requires repudiating scripture, history and tradition in a way the end of Jim Crow did not.

Question: With Tesla, one must open the app and enter what to start the car?

That’s because customers are purchasing cars with so-called PEPS, or Passive Entry, Passive Start capabilities. Rather than needing to pull out a key from one’s pocket or purse, the key sends a signal to the car that it’s nearby, and the car creates a digital “handshake” with the authorized key. Touching the door’s handle unlocks it, and the car is started by pushing a button. The car cannot be locked if the key is left in the car. “This type of key is a huge convenience for drivers,” said Jeff J. Owens, chief technology officer for Delphi, another supplier of automotive systems. “A watch or phone used instead must offer more than today’s key.” In some ways, they offer less, by increasing the complexity of operating a vehicle. In Tesla’s case, one needs to open the app and then enter a PIN to start the car or unlock the doors. Using the Internet to transfer vehicle starting or unlocking information, while useful in an emergency, “is not a viable way forward,” said David Green, market development director at Volvo.

Question: What does Greg Prince say about what's happening to the Mets?

But some telling evidence points to trouble for the Yankees and a boon for the Mets, suggesting that New York might be turning into a Mets town for the first time since their championship season of 1986. “It certainly feels like something’s happening,” said Greg Prince, a blogger for the website Faith and Fear in Flushing. “Winning certainly can change the equation, especially winning that hasn’t happened in a long time. It’s not that the other team in New York isn’t winning, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of spark to it, while what’s happening to the Mets feels fresh and novel.” It is not just a feeling. By the measures of attendance and television viewership, the Mets are surging while their crosstown rivals are sliding a bit. It is an improbable reversal of fortune, given that the Yankees have dominated the market so clearly since they won four World Series from 1996 to 2000, capped by a triumph over the Mets in the so-called Subway Series.

Question: Which country is the richest and most populous country in Europe?

Europe is once again wary of Germany. This time, it is not an aggressive Germany that wants to expand its borders but an aggressively generous one that is opening its borders, recent controls notwithstanding. Two questions are frequently raised: Is Europe’s richest and most populous country still trying to ease its conscience 70 years after the war? And does its new “Willkommenskultur” have a mercantilist edge given a shrinking and aging population? One German broadsheet, The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, recently suggested that when Germany thinks about refugees, it really thinks about itself. Such talk does not bother Moussa Mohammad, a cardiologist and father of four from Dara’a, Syria, who received refugee status in Germany in February. “If Germany needs us, good,” he said. “Because we need Germany.”

Question: The son of the Republican State Senator was hired where?

Updated 8:27 a.m. Good morning on this bright Tuesday. As Election Days in New York go, this year’s is pretty quiet: nothing statewide, no federal elections and several uncontested seats. But there are a few interesting races, and three seats in the State Legislature are open because their prior occupants left under a criminal cloud. • Thomas W. Libous, a Republican state senator, was convicted of lying to F.B.I. agents about his son’s hiring at a law firm.

Question: How many carries did Ferguson get?

Question: Against what country did the US national team compete against in the Gold Cup?

“Clint is about scoring goals,” Klinsmann said. “We need Clint Dempsey badly with the national team. We need him in a good spirit.” He added, “The best thing for everyone right now is to let him concentrate really on playing and doing what he does best.” It is unclear if Dempsey will regain the captaincy after the Gold Cup. The Americans open the Gold Cup, the regional championship tournament, on Tuesday against Honduras in Frisco, Tex.

Question: Who was against including the deputy prime minister of Oman in these talks?

WASHINGTON — After more than two years of perceived slights and supposed snubs, the new contours of a revitalized but evolving partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia are beginning to take shape. This month’s visit to Washington by King Salman solidified the defense and security aspects of this new version of an old relationship. The Saudis are also strongly pushing an economic agenda as the centerpiece of what King Salman identified as a “new strategic alliance for the 21st century.” Last May, when President Obama hosted leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council for a summit meeting at Camp David, the Saudi monarch was conspicuously absent. The talk then of a “snub” missed two crucial points. First, the Saudis were trying to ensure that the Camp David meeting was the beginning, not the end, of a new conversation. Second, King Salman did not want to share center stage in his first major trip abroad as king with figures like the deputy prime minister of Oman.

Question: What did Mr. Ganek deny being involved in and claim was "falsely represented"?

The warrant says that a Level Global analyst cooperating with the government had revealed to Mr. Ganek “the sources of the inside information.” While that accusation was vague, it was enough to convince a magistrate judge at the time that there was probable cause to approve the warrant. Mr. Ganek’s lawsuit contends that the warrant supporting the raid “falsely represented” that he was involved in insider trading. The lawsuit cited the courtroom testimony of the Level Global analyst, who never implicated Mr. Ganek, the lawsuit said. And the government never charged Mr. Ganek, though they labeled him an “unindicted co-conspirator.”

Question: On what day of the week did John Boehner announce his retirement?

WASHINGTON —  When John A. Boehner announced his retirement on Friday, speculation about who would succeed him as speaker immediately centered on the No. 2 House Republican: Kevin McCarthy, a 50-year-old Californian who has had a rapid rise through the party ranks. Mr. McCarthy declined to discuss his plans on Friday, at one point telling reporters, “I’ll make an announcement, when there’s an announcement.” But he is widely expected to seek the post as Republicans prepare for what are likely to be hotly contested battles for other leadership positions.

Question: Why was the father so upset?

The funeral, which lasted just under an hour, was the brisk culmination of a day and a half of heartbreak. Residents of Midwood cloistered in their homes and synagogues during the Sabbath, from nightfall on Friday to nightfall on Saturday, recalling a band of conscientious children they had seen rushing to synagogue and building snowmen in the yard. On Sunday the mourners emerged, following the voice of a father who was away at a religious retreat when the fire broke out. Given the Sabbath prohibition on electronic communication, he did not learn what had happened until several hours later, when Police Department detectives found him at a synagogue in Manhattan.

Question: What are some of the things the feds are saying about the market?

Markets started the day higher, propelled by a jump in energy stocks, but then quickly gave up the gains. A comment by the chairwoman of the Federal Reserve, Janet L. Yellen, suggesting that stocks were generally overvalued added to the selling pressure. Uncertainty over how quickly interest rates will climb also weighed on markets as yields on bonds continued to rise. Some market experts say they think the Fed will have to increase its short-term rate relatively soon to fight inflation. The yield on the 10-year United States Treasury note rose to 2.25 percent, its highest level in two months.

Question: who was Cook's predecessor?

“To be successful against Australia, it’s certainly not going to be by taking a backward step or allowing them just to dictate terms,” he said last week. “You’ve got to go out and fight fire with fire, be positive and aggressive, and the individuals have to play their own natural game.” That has not always been the English way, but there were signs of a new freedom in its just-concluded matches against New Zealand. Billed as little more than a curtain-raiser for the Ashes, the two tests and five one-day internationals against the Kiwis left most fans wanting more. England’s under-fire test captain, Alastair Cook, returned to form as a batsman. Often criticized for his ultra-orthodox leadership, he also showed signs of greater tactical imagination. “I think Alastair is at a phase of his career where he is not afraid to try new things to try and get success,” said his predecessor as captain, Andrew Strauss, who now is England’s director of cricket.

Question: What tournament has limited fashion options?

The blurring of lines between sports and ready-to-wear via that hybrid known as athleisure wear has only exacerbated the situation. Indeed, brands increasingly unveil their “collections” weeks in advance so consumers can Get the Look. Athletic brands, that is. Though this has become true to a certain extent for every tournament (save, perhaps, Wimbledon, where the insistence on traditional white limits the fashion options to a meaningful degree), it reaches its apogee with the United States Open, in part because of a certain boundary-pushing ethos associated with New York and in part because, according to Mr. Eisenbud, it is the Grand Slam event with the most nontennis news-media coverage attached, and hence the greatest potential reach.

Question: Which car manufacturer was then the largest in the world?

Of the proposed regulation, he said, “I see it as nearly impossible for us.” In September of this year, Volkswagen, then the world’s largest automaker, admitted to installing software designed to cheat on emissions tests, setting off one of the largest corporate scandals in the industry’s history. The role of Mr. Hatz, one of the first employees suspended by the company when the crisis broke, is considered a pivotal one in myriad investigations into Volkswagen’s decision-making by prosecutors in the United States, Germany and elsewhere. Mr. Hatz, 56, was one of a coterie of executives from VW’s Audi brand brought over to run the parent company in 2007 by Martin Winterkorn, who was Audi’s chief until he took over as VW’s chief executive that year. One of Mr. Winterkorn’s first moves was to name Mr. Hatz, the head of engines and transmission development at Audi, to do the same job for the entire company. Mr. Hatz’s elevation came during a bitter internal clash about what kind of emissions technology Volkswagen should use to ensure that the company’s diesels would comply with tougher American emissions standards — a clash that ultimately led the company to cheat on emissions tests. While Mr. Hatz was an advocate for diesels, he has also spoken out in the past about the struggle to meet regulations in the American market, according to a review of his statements and public records. Mr. Hatz declined to comment through a spokesman at Porsche, where he has served on the management board as chief of research and development.

Question: Who does Teicher have a new angle on?

And isn’t it time to give Caleb Teicher his own evening? In three excerpts from his “Variations,” interspersed throughout the night, he paired his facile, flowing style to Glenn Gould’s recordings of Bach’s “Goldberg Variations.” Sharing the stage with Brittany DeStefano and Gabe Winns, Mr. Teicher juxtaposed barely there brushes with frenetic taps as his body — twisting and dipping — pulled toward and away from the Gould. These days, a choreographer with a new angle on Bach is startling: Mr. Teicher has a will and a way.

Question: Who is the confession address?

The great achievement of “The Sympathizer” is that it gives the Vietnamese a voice and demands that we pay attention. Until now, it’s been largely a one-sided conversation — or at least that’s how it seems in American popular culture. As the narrator explains, “this was the first war where the losers would write history instead of the victors,” and so it is that we’ve heard about the Vietnam War mostly from the point of view of American soldiers, American politicians and American journalists. We’ve never had a story quite like this one before. Mr. Nguyen, who teaches English and American studies at the University of Southern California, was born in Vietnam but raised in the United States. He is the author of an academic book, “Race and Resistance.” How exciting that he also writes fiction, because he has a great deal to say and a knowing, playful, deeply intelligent voice. His novel is a spy thriller, a philosophical exploration, a coming-of-age tale, the story of what it’s like to be an immigrant, to be part-Asian, to be the illegitimate child of a forbidden liaison. It’s about being forced to hide yourself under so many layers that you’re not sure who you are. The story is framed as a confession addressed to a figure called the Commandant, who, it gradually becomes clear, is keeping the captain prisoner in some unknown location. (We won’t learn where or why until the book’s shattering conclusion.) But the captain’s account is less an appeal for absolution than an attempt to explain what he did and the reasons behind it. It also allows him to be, as he says, an anthropologist of Vietnamese and American culture. The story flits around, intermingling past and present, scenes from childhood with scenes from pre-fall Saigon with scenes from contemporary America, conversations spilling together, so it’s necessary to read carefully to orient yourself. The tone is set in the very first sentence. “I am a spy, a sleeper, a spook, a man of two faces,” the narrator confesses. “I am also a man of two minds.” That’s a point Mr. Nguyen will return to over and over again — the blessing and the curse of finding subtlety where others see certainty. As children, the narrator and two other boys, Bon and Man, swore blood brotherhood and have remained fierce friends. Bon is pro-American, a veteran of the C.I.A.-sponsored Phoenix program of assassination; he leaves Saigon with the narrator on that plane. Man is a Communist and the narrator’s handler; he stays behind. Once in Los Angeles, the narrator takes a job with his former university professor and begins a sensual affair with an older Japanese-American woman. Students of Graham Greene, whose spare, precise writing contrasts with Mr. Nguyen’s exuberant, expansive and sometimes repetitious style, will recognize in her one of Mr. Nguyen’s many sly ripostes to and upendings of “The Quiet American,” the subject of the narrator’s thesis. While the love interest in that book is an annoyingly passive cipher, the narrator’s girlfriend is a free-love feminist with trenchant views on Asian stereotyping.

We’ve never had a story quite like this one before. Mr. Nguyen, who teaches English and American studies at the University of Southern California, was born in Vietnam but raised in the United States. He is the author of an academic book, “Race and Resistance.” How exciting that he also writes fiction, because he has a great deal to say and a knowing, playful, deeply intelligent voice. His novel is a spy thriller, a philosophical exploration, a coming-of-age tale, the story of what it’s like to be an immigrant, to be part-Asian, to be the illegitimate child of a forbidden liaison. It’s about being forced to hide yourself under so many layers that you’re not sure who you are. The story is framed as a confession addressed to a figure called the Commandant, who, it gradually becomes clear, is keeping the captain prisoner in some unknown location. (We won’t learn where or why until the book’s shattering conclusion.) But the captain’s account is less an appeal for absolution than an attempt to explain what he did and the reasons behind it. It also allows him to be, as he says, an anthropologist of Vietnamese and American culture. The story flits around, intermingling past and present, scenes from childhood with scenes from pre-fall Saigon with scenes from contemporary America, conversations spilling together, so it’s necessary to read carefully to orient yourself. The tone is set in the very first sentence. “I am a spy, a sleeper, a spook, a man of two faces,” the narrator confesses. “I am also a man of two minds.” That’s a point Mr. Nguyen will return to over and over again — the blessing and the curse of finding subtlety where others see certainty. As children, the narrator and two other boys, Bon and Man, swore blood brotherhood and have remained fierce friends. <hl> Bon is pro-American, a veteran of the C.I.A.-sponsored Phoenix program of assassination; he leaves Saigon with the narrator on that plane. <hl> Man is a Communist and the narrator’s handler; he stays behind. Once in Los Angeles, the narrator takes a job with his former university professor and begins a sensual affair with an older Japanese-American woman. Students of Graham Greene, whose spare, precise writing contrasts with Mr. Nguyen’s exuberant, expansive and sometimes repetitious style, will recognize in her one of Mr. Nguyen’s many sly ripostes to and upendings of “The Quiet American,” the subject of the narrator’s thesis. While the love interest in that book is an annoyingly passive cipher, the narrator’s girlfriend is a free-love feminist with trenchant views on Asian stereotyping.

The great achievement of “The Sympathizer” is that it gives the Vietnamese a voice and demands that we pay attention. Until now, it’s been largely a one-sided conversation — or at least that’s how it seems in American popular culture.

Question: Who was Tiziano Terzani

CAMBRIDGE, England — THE light was fading on the hills above the Arno, and my closest friend in the careworn ranks of foreign correspondents was sitting cross-legged on a canopied Chinese daybed, in a lovely old tree-shaded house in his native village, a brisk walk from the heart of Florence. His name was Tiziano Terzani, one of Italy’s most celebrated writers, and on that weekend, a decade ago, he was host with his wife, Angela, for the marriage of their daughter in a soaring renaissance basilica in Florence.

Question: What do patents offer to drug companies?

Profits made during their period of market exclusivity are, in large part, why new drugs exist, though an argument could be made that the rewards far outstrip development costs. Nevertheless, few companies will sink hundreds of millions of dollars into even a potentially lifesaving idea without the promise of a return on investment, nor should we reasonably expect them to. That’s why we provide patents for good ideas (and, yes, some not-so-good ideas, too). Except sometimes we don’t. By law, patents can be denied for ideas that may be good, but are not novel or are obvious. This sounds completely sensible, until you think through the consequences. It means that even potentially great drugs might not come to market because they were disclosed in the past — so they’re now not novel — or because they are a natural extension of existing knowledge — so they’re now obvious.

Question: What percent of all households had attained stocks directly?

Credit Suisse estimated in a research note this week that 80 percent of urban Chinese households held stakes in the stock market, either directly or through equity funds that invest in it. By midway through this year, 8.8 percent of all Chinese households had bought stocks directly, and the vast majority were urban dwellers, according to the China Household Finance Survey, conducted by the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu. Under Mr. Xi, the government has urged households to invest in the stock market to meet several economic imperatives: to generate more capital for state-run companies being weaned off bank loans, to strengthen the private companies that create many of the country’s jobs, and to lift the confidence of consumers so that they will play a bigger role in driving economic growth.

Question: What was the name of the fashion line Mrs. Chow ran?

Flash! Pop! And then she was gone. For the last 23 years, Mrs. Chow — first name pronounced Aay-vah, obviously — has been largely defined by her marriage to Michael Chow, the celebrity restaurateur. She gave up a successful fashion line, Eva Chun, in 1994 to be a mother. Yes, she has played a crucial role in keeping the Mr. Chow chain humming. But mostly her husband has basked in the spotlight while she has played the supporting part. That seems to be changing. With the bespectacled Mr. Chow approaching 77 and concentrating on making art, Mrs. Chow, who is in her late 50s, has increased her focus on their business, particularly when it comes to growth. A sixth location opened in Malibu, Calif., in 2012. Las Vegas and Mexico City are next. Last month, she oversaw the introduction of an exclusive Mr. Chow-branded wine.

Question: where did Mr. Constantine work in Buffalo

Mr. Constantine once told a State University interviewer that after working in a radiator factory in Buffalo, he joined the Erie County sheriff’s office because “law enforcement was a chance for people of my generation, usually people of ethnic groups — Irish, Italian, Polish — who grew up in city neighborhoods and who had not gone to college, to get into an occupation with a challenging environment that had a great deal of flexibility and autonomy.” “We were looking for excitement and adventure,” he said.

Question: What did Jeb Bush's supporters say he needed to learn?

But now, in an election cycle where the Republican Party’s grass-roots wing is angry and looking for a presidential candidate who projects a visceral sense of their frustration, some of Jeb Bush’s supporters say he may need to learn the fine art of negative campaigning. The Republican debate on Tuesday in Las Vegas provides Mr. Bush with a highly anticipated platform to forcefully take on his rivals. After faltering in a previous debate exchange with Senator Marco Rubio, Mr. Bush — perhaps more than anyone else onstage — might be compelled to prove he has the strength and passion not just to lead the nation, but to hold his own in the aggressive Colosseum of modern politics. That could be tricky for a man whose family code is one of polite gentility and even bipartisanship, not angry yelling and boorishness.

Question: What was Henry S. Shleiff bearing?

Then Henry S. Schleiff arrived in 2009 as group president of Investigation Discovery and a roster of other networks, bearing the ideal credentials for proceeding with a crime network. Mr. Schleiff had been chief executive of Crown Media Holdings, owner of the Hallmark Channel, known for its sentimental love stories. Earlier, he was chief executive of Court TV Network, the home of live court coverage that gained attention during the O. J. Simpson trial. During his first meeting with Mr. Zaslav, Mr.Schleiff endorsed going all-in with Investigation Discovery, broadcasting nothing but true stories about crime, mystery and romance. The executives made their bet based on the popularity of crime novels and police procedurals, like “NCIS,” “CSI” and “Law and Order,” which for years had topped the ratings charts.

Question: What does Nagraj Kashyap say about the topic?

The argument on the other side boils down to a simple notion: Drivers are going to do it anyway, so why not minimize the riskiest kinds of multitasking, like looking down at the phone or handling it? People use their phones too compulsively to expect them to stop, said Nagraj Kashyap, senior vice president for ventures and innovation at Qualcomm Ventures, an investing arm of the telecom giant, which recently injected $3 million into Navdy. “To completely eliminate it is a pipe dream,” Mr. Kashyap said of motorist multitasking. “The best way to handle it is to make it as safe as you can.”

Question: What was the on time rate 3 years prior?

Nearly 1,000 Long Island Rail Road trains have been held up this year because of problems or congestion in the short section of track they share with Amtrak at Penn Station. That is partly because Amtrak trains, which generally have priority, have been later arriving at their destinations in recent years, according to Amtrak’s own statistics. From October 2014 to May 2015, the most recent data available, Amtrak trains along the Northeast Corridor reported a 76 percent on-time rate, down from 89 percent in the comparable period three years ago. In Baltimore, Monica Harris Susel, 48, had planned to take an Amtrak train to her job in Washington on Friday morning only to learn of a 25-minute delay at Baltimore’s Penn Station. She decided to take a 7:40 a.m. commuter train instead.

Question: Where was Davis's dress to appear if Barnum bought it?

“No one will attempt to make a hero of such material,” one account said. “He will appear in petticoats in history.” Few capitalized on these events as quickly as P. T. Barnum. The era’s undisputed master showman announced that he would pay $500 for Davis’s dress. The possibility that it would soon appear at the Manhattan headquarters of Barnum’s entertainment empire set the country abuzz. Barnum’s American Museum was then the nation’s most popular tourist destination. Located on lower Broadway, it was said to be either the greatest collection of diversions in the greatest city on earth, or an “ill-looking, ungainly, rambling structure,” containing a “paltry collection of preposterous things.”
