Question: Where can an exhibition on Alberto Burri be seen?

Guggenheim Museum: ‘Alberto Burri: The Trauma of Painting’ (through Jan. 6) This Italian artist’s prescient paintings from the 1950s and early ‘60s — in patched, burned and otherwise abused burlap, plastic or wood — form a lavish, beautiful and admirable, if sometimes monotonous retrospective at the Guggenheim. Unfortunately, he may also inaugurate a bane of current art: the use of found materials so inherently affecting — burlap is one — that they require little of the artist. 1071 Fifth Avenue, at 89th Street, 212-423-3500, guggenheim.org. (Smith) Guggenheim Museum: ‘Photo-Poetics: An Anthology’ (through March 23) Formally complex and expressively reserved, even hermetic. the work by ten photographers in this stimulating show has roots in Conceptualism and takes language, history and speculative thinking as its raw materials. Photographs are structured with the equivalent of poetry’s metrical cadences and internal rhymes, and treated less as generators of translatable ideas than of suggestive metaphors. 1071 Fifth Avenue, at 89th Street, 212-423-3500, guggenheim.org. (Cotter) ★ Jewish Museum: ‘The Power of Pictures: Early Soviet Photography, Early Soviet Film’ (through Feb. 7) Revolutions sell utopias; that’s their job. Art, if it behaves itself and sticks to the right script, can be an important part of the promotional package. That’s the basic tale told by this exhibition of photographs and vintage films of the 1920s and ’30s, but with a question added: What happens to art when the script is drastically revised? Russia was an experiment in progress in the heady years following the 1917 revolution, and avant-garde art, free-spirited by definition, was officially embraced. When Joseph Stalin came to power art became government-dictated propaganda and its makers, often under threat, towed the line. Remarkably, the show presents a dozen films — some familiar, some not — full-length, on a rotating schedule of four a day, in a small viewing theater built into one of the Jewish Museum’s galleries. 1109 Fifth Avenue, at 92nd Street, 212-423-3200, thejewishmuseum.org. (Cotter) ★ Jewish Museum: ‘Unorthodox’ (through March 27) With about 200 putatively unorthodox works crowded into tightly walled-in spaces, this lively show has the feel of an Outsider Art fair — in a good way. The paintings, drawings, collages, assemblages, ceramics, weavings and videos are variously funny, funky, quirky, eccentric, idiosyncratic and visionary. Are they truly unorthodox by the standards of a contemporary art world wherein no one wants to be thought orthodox? No, but that’s O.K. It’s an entertaining and intermittently exhilarating exhibition nonetheless. 1109 Fifth Avenue, at 92nd Street, 212-423-3200, thejewishmuseum.org. (Johnson)

Question: What could you set the currants in?

Which makes it a weekend dish, probably? Not necessarily. You could set the currants in vinegar in the morning and let them sit all day. Make the dressing in early evening as the squash roasts and cools. Then lay out the half moons across a platter that’s warmer than your room. And drape the sauce — thick and almost clumpy — across them, and onto the negative space between them as well. It seems like a lot of sauce. It isn’t, though, when there’s good bread to mop it up as your companions stab at the squash, at the little nuts, at the small dice of cheese. ‘‘I eat a lot of vegetarian food at home,’’ Baumgart said. ‘‘But I don’t necessarily like a vegetarian entree. I don’t like that as a concept at all. I’d pair this salad with a plate of braised greens, some good bread, and I’d be all set.’’ You will be, too.

Question: What does Trump call climate change?

Trump calls climate change “a total hoax.” He arrived at this position, judging by several tweets, after experiencing a couple of especially cold winter days in New York. This is a man who has bought into every nutty conspiracy theory, and stoked much of the same, about President Obama’s birth — all without a shred of evidence. But he won’t take the world’s leading scientists at their peer-reviewed word. If this is the kind of judgment you want in the Oval Office, get thee to Trump Tower. And here’s Carson: “I’ll tell you what I think about climate change,” he said earlier this year. “The temperature is either going up or down at any point in time, so it really is not a big deal.” Ah, well. He also believes the pyramids of Egypt were built to store grain rather than as tombs for kings and queens. Hey, it’s all there in the Bible, Carson says, for you fact-obsessed archaeologists. How do you explain the boastful ignorance of other leading Republican candidates? It’s a political variant of Upton Sinclair’s line about how “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” In trying to win the support of the Koch brothers, Senators Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul have signed a pledge to do the bidding of the billionaire oil industrialists, promising to “oppose any legislation relating to climate change” that would involve higher taxes or fees. Cruz has gone the extra step of denying the very existence of climate change, an assertion that puts him at odds with three-fourths of the American public. Just pause for a second to soak in the magnitude of this sellout by these candidates to a pair of men who’ve vowed to spend $889 million influencing the 2016 election.

Question: Who was dismayed by the judge's decision?

Defense lawyers had argued in court filings that the charges should be dismissed in part because marijuana’s Schedule I classification was arbitrary and unconstitutional. They asserted that the 10th Amendment barred the federal government from superseding state laws legalizing marijuana for medicinal use. Judge Mueller ruled that any adjustments to the law were better left to Congress. “This is not the court and this is not the time,” she said Wednesday, according to a report by The Associated Press. A written ruling will be issued by the end of the week. The decision dismayed advocates of marijuana legalization.

Question: Who directed "The King's Speech"?

‘The Danish Girl’ (R, 2:00) The story of a transgender pioneer, Lili Elbe, becomes a tasteful, sensitive and somewhat inert costume drama in the hands of Tom Hooper (“The King’s Speech.”) Eddie Redmayne plays Lili, whom we first encounter as Einar Wegener, a Danish landscape painter. His wife, Gerda (Alicia Vikander), also an artist, is the emotional center of the film, in part because Mr. Redmayne’s performance, while technically flawless, keeps the audience at a distance from Lili’s experience.

Question: Who were referred to as little green men?

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: Who is Tiziano Terzani to the writer

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: Who where they playing in the series mentioned in the article?

He went to the corner, along with Cam Talbot, his backup, and the two of them started shuffling, sliding in place, reacting to invisible pucks. Then he and Talbot took turns in net as a staff member fired shots from close range and different angles. Practice had not officially started, but Lundqvist was working up a sweat. This is the way he starts most every practice, though. The Rangers were preparing to play Game 7 of their second-round playoff series against the Washington Capitals, set for Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, and Lundqvist was acting as if it were any other game. “My preparation has stayed the same for years,” Lundqvist said afterward. “I don’t change anything when the games get more important. I like consistency. I try to stick with the same approach.” It is hard to argue with him. Lundqvist has won 13 of his last 16 games in which the Rangers have faced elimination, posting a 1.42 goals-against average, a .955 save percentage and two shutouts. He is undefeated in his last nine elimination games at the Garden and owns a 5-1 career record in Game 7s.

Question: What race predominately runs the companies in Silicon Valley?

Asked whether the mostly male culture of Silicon Valley is likely to change, Mr. Sacca, one of Twitter’s major investors, said, “It’s changing, slowly. The numbers are really clear. Companies are almost entirely run by white guys. The boards are almost entirely white guys.” And yet, he said: “Look at the user base of Twitter. You have black users overindexed to Twitter, and yet we don’t have any representation of that audience in the upper management or the board of that company, and that’s just weird. We’re guiding things for an audience we can’t address.”

Question: What was Gerald Reitlinger's study?

One standard way to adjust historic art prices to account for inflation is to run them through the U.S. Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index inflation calculator. Using this method, the czar’s big 1914 price for the Leonardo — hailed by Gerald Reitlinger in his 1961 study, “The Economics of Taste,” as “the most expensive picture that has ever been sold” — is equal to $35.5 million today, which would buy a middling-quality Mark Rothko.

Question: Who moved into abandoned houses such as Mr. Shoul's?

POUZE KHOON, Iran —  The early-morning sun meagerly brightened the gloom of this sad township, a collection of empty, crumbling houses along a highway through the dusty desert landscape in southeastern Iran. Until a decade or so ago, Amin Shoul would come here every year to help his father harvest pistachios, the nuts that are as much a symbol of Iran as caviar. Now, with the last reserves of groundwater tapped out, the family’s grove and the seemingly endless fields beyond it are filled with dead trees, their bone-colored branches a deathly contrast to the turquoise sky. Mr. Shoul, 32, a journalist, said he and his family had moved away years ago, leaving the house to squatters, unemployed laborers living off meager government stipends — and even they had started to leave. “I don’t see how we can ever return to the past,” he remarked, matter-of-factly.

Now, with the last reserves of groundwater tapped out, the family’s grove and the seemingly endless fields beyond it are filled with dead trees, their bone-colored branches a deathly contrast to the turquoise sky. <hl> Mr. Shoul, 32, a journalist, said he and his family had moved away years ago, leaving the house to squatters , unemployed laborers living off meager government stipends — and even they had started to leave. <hl> “I don’t see how we can ever return to the past,” he remarked, matter-of-factly.

Question: What was around the ground in her old neighborhood?

There is also evidence that older children, particularly boys, often struggle in new neighborhoods. The costs of the move can outweigh the benefits of the new place. Ms. White says those issues are real enough but nothing compared with the feeling that she and her family are now safe. She was tired of stepping over the dice players on her stoop, tired of guiding her children around the fragments of broken bottles at the old housing project, which Ms. Russ, the head of the Dallas Housing Authority, called the most dangerous in the city. When she moved, she changed her cellphone number, cutting off her old friends.

The young woman’s mother, who immigrated from the Philippines, said that she had shared Filipino meals with Ms. Harper, and that Ms. Harper had taught her how to drive. She wrote a letter of support when Ms. Harper was applying for a $1,500 scholarship to continue her nursing studies. The family still has Ms. Harper’s thank you card. “Once again, thank you so very much for helping me with my scholarship application,” the note says. “Now I can attend the nursing program without having to stress out about tuition!”

Question: How many children where in Meb Keflezighi's family?

Of the 11 children in the family, Meb said, nine have earned college degrees. And one has become a champion marathon runner, even if first impressions were unnerving. At his first New York City Marathon, in 2002, he finished ninth in 2:12:35 and grew so chilled that his father tried to massage warmth back into his legs and his mother told him, “No more marathons for you.” He remembers telling himself and others, “I don’t want to ever do that again.” Now he is back in New York for a 10th marathon. And after a break of four days or so, Keflezighi will begin his recovery and buildup toward the Olympic trials in February. He did this successfully before the 2012 London Olympics on an even shorter turnaround. Presumably, his attention to detail will avoid a repeat of what happened during the 2011 New York City Marathon, when Keflezighi forgot to put a breathing strip on his nose, leaving it in his running shoe as he finished sixth. An irritation developed and his foot became infected, costing him three weeks of training. Still, Keflezighi rebounded to win the Olympic trials. “He was a little embarrassed,” said Larsen, Keflezighi’s coach. “He’s very alert and precise at what he does. That was very unusual for him.”

Question: How old is Song Tairan?

Yet there are those who still see the stock market as the best investment, given low interest rates at banks and the huge amount of capital needed to buy property in many cities.

Question: How late do after-parties sometimes run?

“People don’t want to miss that part of the evening, and thus they’re learning to pace themselves,” said Maureen Farley, director of hospitality at the Plaza hotel in New York, which hosts approximately 60 weddings a year. Eighty percent of those events have after-parties, she said. “These parties are marathons, not sprints,” Ms. Farley said. “And if they consume too much at the wedding, they won’t make it to the next leg, which is where the D.J. and dancing take place.” The after-parties often start at 1:30 a.m. and can run til 4 a.m. What is being served is also helping to control the impulse to overindulge. A growing foodie culture in the millennial generation is putting emphasis on the quality of the meal, craft cocktails and other specialties, said Ms. Walton of the Bridal Bar.

Question: What did Washington fear that Russia would do to Ukraine?

From the earliest days of the war, the government in Kiev had asked for military help from the United States. Its request for a sophisticated antitank missile went nowhere, as Washington feared it would just encourage Russia to send more weapons and men to Ukraine. What eventually arrived was basic training.

Question: The skinny strip of the upper east side has been dominated by what?

The skinny strip of the Upper East Side that runs between Central Park and Park Avenue has long been dominated by co-ops and is arguably one of the most staid parts of the city. Now, in a burst of activity not seen since the 1980s, condominiums are shouldering their way into this upscale district, which runs from about East 59th to East 96th Streets. More than a half-dozen projects, ranging from newly built apartment houses to makeovers of prewar properties, have opened there in the last few years or are underway.

Question: What was the program referred to as?

The benefit, which was a touchstone issue even before it was made law in 2013, was envisioned as a way to encourage parents to remain home and raise their children, ages 15 months to 36 months, once maternity leave benefits expire. About 455,000 parents, mostly mothers, now receive the payments. But critics, who derisively referred to the program as the “stove bonus,” argued that it sent women the wrong signal by rewarding them for staying at home. Many educators also worried that the monthly payments of 150 euros, or $163, were most attractive to poorer, often immigrant, families whose children benefit most from early childhood education.

Question: What did Anthony Caro's sculptures make use of?

Overlooked amid all these accomplishments was Mr. Araeen’s art, a selection of which is at Aicon Gallery in his first New York solo exhibition. Trained as a civil engineer, he became an artist after seeing Anthony Caro’s sculptures. His own early pieces combined Mr. Caro’s use of industrial materials with openwork structures adapted from architecture. In the early 1960s he developed a version of what would come to be called Minimalism before its introduction in New York by Donald Judd and others.

Question: What views of Ms. Greer did the students not approve of?

LONDON —  Students at Cardiff University have begun an online petition trying to bar Germaine Greer, the Australian feminist author, from speaking there next month because of her views on transgender women. Ms. Greer’s views are well known, but the campaign to bar her from giving a lecture has raised the issue of academic censorship, and the university swiftly rejected the petition in the name of free speech. Ms. Greer, 76, who is best known for her best seller, “The Female Eunuch,” has prompted outrage and protests in the past because of her comments. In a column in 2009 she wrote that transgender women seem like ghastly parodies and that a transgender woman was essentially “a man’s delusion that he is female.” According to Varsity, Cambridge University’s student newspaper, she suggested in January that transgender women do not know what it is like to have a vagina.

Question: What was the rate that consumer prices fell in December?

The weaker euro is a mixed blessing for the struggling eurozone economy. European exporters will gain a competitive advantage against foreign rivals because their products will become cheaper for customers who pay in dollars or other currencies that tend to track with the dollar. A weaker euro could also push up inflation — a desirable outcome at the moment — because foreign goods would become more expensive in euro terms. With the collapse of the crude oil market adding to the downward pressure, economists expect an official report next Wednesday to show that consumer prices fell at an annual rate of about 0.1 percent in December, down from the rate of 0.3 percent in November. However, a weaker euro also has negative effects in the eurozone. Because oil is usually priced in dollars, a weak euro cancels out some of the economic benefit from the recent drop in oil prices. Cheaper energy is good for companies because it reduces production costs for factories. Consumers benefit because they pay less for fuel and can spend the money on other things.

Question: How far is the Capitol Theater from Port Chester, NY?

Just a few months after what was billed as the Grateful Dead’s last stand — five sold-out stadium shows for some 212,000 fans that grossed more than $60 million in ticket and pay-per-view sales — the band is rising once again, albeit in a slightly fractured arrangement. This weekend, insatiable Deadheads can see all of the group’s so-called core four living members in just two stops: Madison Square Garden, which will host Dead & Company — featuring Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, joined by the pop singer and guitarist John Mayer, the bassist Oteil Burbridge and the keyboardist Jeff Chimenti — for two sold-out shows on Saturday and Sunday; and at the Capitol Theater, about 30 miles north in Port Chester, N.Y., where the Dead bassist Phil Lesh will play three consecutive nights starting Friday (with another run Nov. 5 to 7). “Only in the world of the Grateful Dead could that happen on Halloween,” said Peter Shapiro, the concert promoter who owns the Capitol and organized this summer’s “Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead” shows in Chicago and Santa Clara, Calif. The Dead had a penchant for blown-out holiday concerts, he noted, and both locales are “institutional venues” where the full band played dozens of times.

Question: When and where did this alleged rape take place?

Officials point to the case of Pakistani peacekeepers accused of raping a boy in Haiti a few years ago as a model of accountability. Pakistan sent military judges to conduct a trial in Haiti.

Question: Which kind of charges is McNamara saying he could pursue?

Christopher also went to the hospital with Daniel and Joseph Irwin and David Morey, but did not go inside. He later was driven to a Home Depot parking lot near the hospital, he said, where he tried to rest but instead vomited. Finally, he was returned to the church, where Daniel Irwin made up a “mattress and a blanket and pillow for me” and “brought me some food and water.” That evening, he spoke to the police on the phone and left the church. Tom O’Brien, the lawyer for Ms. Ferguson, had little comment on the charges but said he expected evidence for the defense to come out at trial. Scott D. McNamara, the Oneida County district attorney, said he would not comment on the facts of the case but suggested that Tiffanie Irwin could face charges when the case went before a grand jury, which is likely to happen before the end of November. “We are looking at everybody who was involved in this incident,” Mr. McNamara said, adding that he could pursue charges like depraved indifference to murder or gang assault. Mr. McNamara said he was impressed by Christopher’s bravery in facing his half sister, who is one of his alleged assailants. “We asked a lot of a very young man,” he said, adding, “I can’t imagine the stress he was under.”

Question: What's the name of Mr. Brisges's the debut album?

Wednesday night, Leon Bridges was wearing a drapy, short-sleeved, wide-collared shirt tucked into high-waisted, form-fitting slacks held up with a thin belt. The look was somewhere between 1957 and 1963, as was the sound. Mr. Bridges is a soul man of the classic sort — or, at least, that’s how the sales pitch goes. Here, at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, he was surrounded by his band in static “Ed Sullivan Show” style, singing songs that recalled the peak Sam Cooke era. Mr. Bridges has just released his debut album, “Coming Home” (Columbia). All the parts are there — he recorded his album live to tape, on vintage equipment, with producers obsessed with 1950s soul. He has both an edgeless, soothing voice and a knack for swinging, idea-filled songwriting.

Question: What action by Mr. Meyers did the police say led to the officer firing his hand gun?

Prosecutors in St. Louis will not charge the police officer who fatally shot VonDerrit D. Myers Jr. in October, a shooting that renewed tensions with law enforcement weeks after Michael Brown was killed by an officer in nearby Ferguson. In a report released Monday, Jennifer M. Joyce, the circuit attorney for St. Louis, found that Mr. Myers “produced a gun” during the encounter with the officer, Jason Flanery, who was working an off-duty security detail for a private company. Police had said Mr. Myers, 18, who was black, shot a stolen handgun before Officer Flanery, who is white, returned fire. Prosecutors said in their report that witnesses had seen gunfire coming from both directions and from two guns and that a semiautomatic pistol had been recovered next to Mr. Myers’s body. Mr. Myers’s family disputed the police account and insisted that he had been unarmed. Protesters marched for several nights after the shooting, and some drew parallels between Mr. Myers’s death and that of Mr. Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old shot by a white Ferguson officer in August. In a statement, Ms. Joyce expressed condolences to the Myers family and called his death “a tragic situation for our entire community.”

Question: Where does the bill go?

The Senate on Tuesday approved legislation that would make California the first state to extend health coverage to children who are in the country illegally and seek federal authorization to sell private insurance to immigrants without documentation.

It would seek a federal waiver for California to sell unsubsidized private insurance through the state’s health exchange. The bill goes to the Assembly. Gov. Jerry Brown has not said whether he would sign it.

Question: Who is a real estate mogul who was running for president?

Ms. Jefferson said Ms. Harper had described bringing her son to the Del Amo Behavioral Health System in Torrance, Calif., near where they had lived before moving to Oregon. “He calls and says, ‘Take me out, take me out,’ ” Ms. Jefferson said, recalling her conversations with Ms. Harper. “She didn’t take him out until the doctor said he was ready to get out.” One piece of advice Ms. Harper dispensed online for a parent with an autistic infant was to start reading to the child as soon as possible and to use expressive gestures. An online posting from six years ago included the unlikely revelation that she used to read to her son a book by Donald J. Trump, the real estate mogul now running for president, who recently suggested that childhood vaccines cause autism — a claim Ms. Harper dismisses in her postings.

Question: The error was repeated where?

An article on Monday about the imposition of temporary border restrictions by Germany as record numbers of migrants arrive misspelled the surname of the German interior minister, who said it was “desperately necessary” for Germany to limit the number of people coming into the country. He is Thomas de Maizière, not de Mazière. The error was repeated in a picture caption with the continuation of the article. Because of editing errors, that caption and a second one, on the front page, misstated, in some editions, the day on which the events described took place. It was Sunday, not Saturday, that a vessel carrying Syrian and Afghan refugees deflated and a German police officer inspected a Syrian man at a border.

Question: Whe were the first results of the elections in Venezuela released?

There are however, ways that the Assembly could pressure Mr. Maduro to shift course economically. It can remove cabinet ministers, like the finance minister, and it can vote to remove the directors of the central bank. An alternative would be for the Assembly and Mr. Maduro to find a way to work together, particularly on economic policy, perhaps even with the president appointing some opposition members to his cabinet. So far, Mr. Maduro has given no indication that he is open to that approach. He quickly accepted the opposition victory after results were released early Monday morning, but he also blamed what he called an economic war for his party’s defeat, a war that he said was being waged against his government and the country by shadowy capitalist forces.

Question: What area was not supported by local residents to get a casino?

The Gaming Facility Location Board reviewed 16 proposals for casino resorts in three regions north and west of New York City and recommended licenses for three projects on Dec. 17, but rebuffed two from the Southern Tier that it said were not viable. Governor Cuomo initially supported the decision, saying that a casino was not likely to spur economic development in the relatively sparsely populated area near Binghamton. But after hearing criticism from elected officials and local residents, Mr. Cuomo asked the board to consider a new round of bidding for a casino license specifically for the Southern Tier. At a board meeting Tuesday, Kevin Law, the chairman, said that he saw “no harm” in soliciting new proposals solely for the Southern Tier, as the governor suggested.
