Question: Who was the self-proclaimed "bad boy" of American politics?

Ron Kaufman, who served in the first President Bush’s administration and is a longtime friend of the family, said Jeb Bush in particular was more of a serious-minded policy aficionado than a political fighter. “He’d much rather talk policy, and he’s just not a guy who’s ever been one who likes to be on the attack,” Mr. Kaufman said. In addition to his ill-fated assault on Mr. Rubio, Mr. Bush failed to fully deliver a debate salvo against Donald J. Trump that his campaign had similarly ordered up. Standing onstage in Simi Valley, Calif., Mr. Bush called on Mr. Trump to apologize for inserting Mr. Bush’s wife, Columba, who was born in Mexico, in the immigration debate. Mr. Trump called her “a lovely woman,” but refused to apologize. Nonetheless, the Bushes — a clan as competitive as it is genteel — have also proved willing to go negative when necessary, if not directly then at least by letting those in their orbit play rough. Mr. Bush’s father relied on Lee Atwater, who in a memoir nicknamed himself the “bad boy” of American politics, and his brother often delegated his unsavory tasks to Karl Rove.

Question: When does it open?

“She has this extraordinary talent for distilling form, landscape, abstraction and color,” Mr. Kelly said. “Her palette is very unusual. It has a lot to do with that great tradition of Belgian Northern European artists dealing with a quality of light.” So he decided to give the artist her first solo show in the United States, traveling to Belgium recently to choose the paintings and watercolors for the exhibition, which opens Jan. 8 at his 10th Avenue gallery. “It’s impossible to separate Ilse D’Hollander’s work from her personality,” Eric Rinckhout wrote in an essay. “She withdrew into her work as into a house, to seek the rest, order and control she could not find in her head at times.”

Question: How many Ukrainian where trained during basic training courses?

Capt. Andrii Syurkalo, a Ukrainian officer, said it was commendable that the trainers were willing to use the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal as an element in a class on the Geneva Conventions. American officers described the course work as equivalent to the latter months of basic training in the United States. The courses will train 705 Ukrainian soldiers at a cost of $19 million over six months. The Ukrainian National Guard is rotating from the front what units it can spare for the training. American instructors intend to recommend top performers to serve as trainers within other Ukrainian units, and in this way spread the instruction more broadly.

Question: In what type of building is the museum located?

In the misguided popular lore, the display says, the woman was driving when the coffee spilled (she was not), she was not badly injured (she was, with third-degree burns that put her in the hospital for eight days and caused permanent scarring), she was out to fleece McDonald’s (the company rejected her initial request for just $20,000 to cover medical expenses) and she received millions (she received less than $500,000). The museum is in a former bank in this struggling town, dotted with abandoned factories but on the path of weekend visitors to more prosperous areas. Mr. Nader knows that a museum in Washington would have more influence but said he had a hard enough time raising close to $3 million for this location. When he first described his vision for the museum, in 1998, he had hoped to raise $5 million within a year or two.

Question: What train station was reported as having a delay on Friday morning?

In the meantime, the deterioration of the corridor has caused a trail of woe for the trains, and passengers, using it. At Princeton Junction train station in New Jersey on Friday morning, an announcement informed the crowded platform that trains to New York’s Pennsylvania Station were delayed by 30 minutes. Soumitra Patil, 37, shook his head and laughed. Mr. Patil, who works in information technology at a bank in Manhattan, said he had missed meetings because of the delays. “I’m playing catch-up the whole day because of this,” he said.

Question: What is Ca' Dandolo?

A major focus of the Iraqi pavilion this year (held at Ca’ Dandolo, a palazzo on the Grand Canal) is a set of drawings by adult Iraqi refugees who fled the Islamic State’s onslaught. These depictions — a hooded militant shooting a mother and child, a bandaged man whose bleeding heart is shaped like Iraq — were produced when the Ruya Foundation took paper, pencils and crayons to refugees in three camps in northern Iraq. All 546 submissions were then flown to Beijing and shown to the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, who made a selection for a book published by the foundation. (That book is on sale at the exhibition and proceeds will go to the refugees.)

Question: Who is Google's search chief?

Amit Singhal, Google’s search chief, oversees the 200 or so factors that determine where websites rank in the company’s search engine, which means he decides if your website lives or dies. His current challenge: figuring out how to spread that same fear and influence to mobile phones. In a recent interview at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., Mr. Singhal laid out a widely held thesis for why smartphones are fundamentally changing how people are consuming information: Phones have small screens that are annoying to type on, and people have grown so addicted to their phones that they carry them everywhere and go to bed with them by their side. Also, in a shift with big implications for his company’s sway over the Internet, smartphone users spend the bulk of their time in mobile apps instead of the open web on which Google built its business.

Question: Who was the former chairwoman of the N.L.R.B. quoted in the article?

Indeed, the board wrote that its decision applied only to the Northwestern case — there was no precedent established for graduate teaching assistants or student janitors — and left open the possibility that it could re-examine the issue if college athletes brought a similar case in the future. “There may have been some sympathy for the players’ argument,” said Wilma Liebman, a former chairwoman of the N.L.R.B. “But siding with the players may have seemed like too great a leap, so this is a compromise.”

Question: What did Mr. Law note at the board meeting?

At the meeting, Mr. Law noted that the board “never said” that two casinos in the Southern Tier-Finger Lakes region could not work. But he and the other members of the board emphasized that the new proposals had to be an improvement on the earlier projects. State legislation allows for up to four casino licenses outside of the New York City area. But in recommending only three projects for a license last month, the board warned about the possibility of cannibalizing an already crowded gambling market in the Northeast. The board could still decide not to award a license.

Question: How many grand slams did Mattingly hit in the middle of July?

Don Mattingly is the author of one of baseball’s most preposterous statistical anomalies. In 1987, he set the major league record (it has since been tied) for most grand slams in a season — six — and those were the only ones he ever hit. Two of them came during a streak in mid-July when he matched the record for most consecutive games with a home run — eight — actually hitting 10 in eight games. The last one, in Texas against the Rangers, just barely sailed over the wall in left-center field, not exactly the left-handed Mattingly’s power alley. “Holy cow, he did it!” Phil Rizzuto screamed, announcing the feat on TV. “Holy cow, Mattingly is unbelievable.”

Question: Who isn't a mom and pop but is a chain?

Though Zaro’s is also a chain and not a mom-and-pop operation, it has survived in a changing part of the Bronx — a place where stromboli and red velvet cupcakes coexist with challah and hamantaschen, even as the neighborhood has transformed from heavily Jewish to one predominately of black and Hispanic residents. “The Bronx has been our home since 1927 — a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away,” Mr. Zaro said. “The Bronx has been good to us, and we love the Bronx,” he added. “I was always proud to tell people that we still had a branch in Parkchester.”

Question: Did the players vote for unionization publicly or secret?

Northwestern University, which strongly urged its players to vote down the union ahead of last year’s secret ballot election, released a statement from Alan Cubbage, a spokesman. “We believe strongly that unionization and collective bargaining are not the appropriate methods to address the concerns raised by student-athletes,” it read. “We are pleased that the N.L.R.B. has agreed with the university’s position.” Across college sports, many others praised the ruling. The commissioners of 31 of the largest conferences issued a statement calling the N.L.R.B. decision “the right call,” and Donald Remy, the N.C.A.A.’s chief legal officer, said it would allow the association “to continue to make progress for the college athlete without risking the instability to college sports that the N.L.R.B. recognized might occur under the labor petition.”

Question: What is the automated highway driving feature by Tesla Motors called?

AUTOMAKERS descended on New York for the city’s annual auto show this week with vehicles ready to do more than just respond to drivers’ commands. However, the question of whether drivers want their cars to take charge remained unanswered. The path to fully autonomous driving will still take years to reach consumers, but car manufacturers demonstrated this week that they are now able to offer buyers several levels of so-called active safety features — in which the car takes over driving in certain instances. And they plan to introduce even more advanced semiautonomous capabilities in the coming months. Tesla Motors made a splash when it recently announced plans to add automated highway driving features, which it calls autopilot, to its Model S sedans by the summer. But such capabilities are coming to a range of vehicles sooner than many realize.

Question: What are visitors who might be pick pocketed called?

And yet the tragedy here is too vast, too diffuse, to be coated with a hard shell of spending. Look out Brookfield’s front window and see, clumped together across the street, One World Trade Center, which one recent afternoon was half-cloaked in spooky fog, eerily telegraphing impermanence; Santiago Calatrava’s bird, which would look majestic were it not beset at each side by new development; and the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. It is a chaos of remembrance, competitive and dense. And magnetic to visitors, or marks waiting to be pickpocketed the late-capitalist way: a mall. Even if you view Brookfield Place ahistorically, it is a shrugworthy set of stores, not much more inspiring than what you would find in Terminal 4 at Kennedy Airport. The product mix leans heavily on shoes, handbags and other accessories: luxury purchase as trauma-porn memento. Mostly it exists as an argument that capitalism is the safest space. As long as we protect it, almost any pain can be shouted down. (Any doubts about the mall as a site of political meaning need look no further than recent Black Lives Matter protests that have targeted shopping centers.)

Even if you view Brookfield Place ahistorically, it is a shrugworthy set of stores, not much more inspiring than what you would find in Terminal 4 at Kennedy Airport. The product mix leans heavily on shoes, handbags and other accessories: luxury purchase as trauma-porn memento. Mostly it exists as an argument that capitalism is the safest space. As long as we protect it, almost any pain can be shouted down. (Any doubts about the mall as a site of political meaning need look no further than recent Black Lives Matter protests that have targeted shopping centers.)


Question: How would you feel if you thought our reason is not great?

If you think that human nature is good and powerful, then you go around frustrated because the perfect society has not yet been achieved. But if you go through life believing that our reason is not that great, our individual skills are not that impressive, and our goodness is severely mottled, then you’re sort of amazed life has managed to be as sweet as it is. You’re grateful for all the institutions our ancestors gave us, like the Constitution and our customs, which shape us to be better than we’d otherwise be. Appreciation becomes the first political virtue and the need to perfect the gifts of others is the first political task.

Question: Who is the host of the Daily Show?

That would be Jonathan Lamberton, the mayor’s sign-language interpreter, whose arsenal of rapid gesticulations, vigorous frowns and mime-like smiles — a stark contrast to the mayor’s sober mien — raced around social media this week, earning equal parts awe and amusement. “That guy nailed it,” Jon Stewart declared on Tuesday’s “Daily Show,” which featured a compilation of Mr. Lamberton’s more theatrical moments. Dozens of websites deemed him a breakout star, and BuzzFeed suggested Jason Schwartzman, the hipster actor, could play him in a movie.

Question: Who was sentenced for incitement by an Israeli court?

TEL AVIV, Israel — An Israeli court on Tuesday sentenced a Palestinian for incitement and for supporting a terrorist organization based on Facebook posts that applauded militant attacks, his lawyer said. It was a rare case in which statements on social media were regarded as a crime. The defendant, Omar Shalabi, 45, a father of six from East Jerusalem, was sentenced to nine months in jail for 10 posts to his 5,000 friends and 755 followers that urged them to undertake “violent acts and acts of terrorism,” said the Hebrew-language indictment. Legal rights groups said it was unusual for an Israeli court to accept speech on social media as a basis for conviction. But they said that in recent months the Israeli police had detained several Palestinians from East Jerusalem and Arab citizens of Israel for incitement over comments made on their social media networks.

Question: What park does Garcia do his running in?

“I am perfectly happy with what I have here, and every item has a meaning for me,” said Dr. García, who wrote an essay about editing his life in preparation for his move. Even the location on a busy cross street is an advantage. His twice-weekly trip to Columbia involves the crosstown bus and the subway. On the return trip, the bus delivers him to his doorstep. He runs either in Central Park — it’s more distant than he had hoped — or along the East River. Though he is not keen on the subway construction a few doors down, he knows it is temporary.

Question: what condition allowed the Charleston shooter to purchase a gun?

The man who the police say killed nine Charleston churchgoers had not completed his background check, but he was allowed to buy a gun anyway under a so-called default proceed. Federal law permits a firearms dealer who has initiated a background check to proceed with a sale if the dealer has not been notified of violations within three business days. Representative James E. Clyburn, Democrat of South Carolina, filed legislation that would close the loophole, but Republican leaders have not acted on it.

Question: What type of company is Majestic Realty Group?

For years, the N.F.L. played cat and mouse with the city of Los Angeles. Every so often a team in, say, Minnesota, would threaten to move to L.A. in an effort to crowbar concessions out of its government leaders back home. Once the team got public financing, it stayed put. To move the ball, AEG, the sports and entertainment group, and Majestic Realty Group, a big real estate developer, promised to build stadiums in Los Angeles County if a team would commit to moving. For years, none did. But the roulette wheel has spun a lot faster this year. In January, the owner of the St. Louis Rams, Stan Kroenke, said he planned to build an 80,000-seat stadium in Inglewood, 10 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. Last week, the Inglewood City Council voted unanimously to give the project the green light. The Rams switched to a year-to-year lease at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, giving them the flexibility to move. Alarmed by the possibility that the Rams could move back to Los Angeles, the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders last month said they would build their own stadium in Carson, about 15 miles farther south. The move was viewed as a way for the teams to maintain leverage in stadium negotiations with their home cities and potentially forestall the Rams. In the blink of an eye, the N.F.L. went from shadow boxing to boxing in Los Angeles. Faced with the possibility of three teams rushing to the city at once, the N.F.L. established an owners committee to oversee the process. But the process appears to be a work in a progress. AEG, which secured environmental approvals and sold naming rights for its proposed stadium next to Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, and which perhaps fears being shut out of the N.F.L. stadium sweepstakes, re-entered the fray. The company commissioned a report by Tom Ridge, a former secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, who outlined several safety and operational risks of locating a stadium in Inglewood just a few miles from the runways at Los Angeles International Airport.

Question: How many years has it taken for 15% of the pistachio trees to have died?

More than 15 percent of the approximately 150,000 acres of pistachio trees in the main producing area in Kerman Province have died in the last decade or so. A nationwide network of dams, often heralded by state television as a sign of progress and water management, is adding to water shortages in many places while helping deplete groundwater. In Isfahan, the once-iconic Zayanderud River is now a dusty scar the size of the Seine snaking through the city, because officials were forced to divert its water to the desert city of Yazd.

Question: Which actor plays the head of the Yonkers housing authority?

Perhaps this is Mr. Simon refusing to invent motives that aren’t in the public record. In any case, it leaves him with a bit of a cipher at the middle of his story. The excellent actor Oscar Isaac (“Inside Llewyn Davis”) gives Wasicsko a convincing semblance of life, projecting decency, nervous energy, joy and disappointment, but he never seems to have quite enough to work with. That’s reflected in the series, which occasionally takes a break from its tightly scripted council meetings and back-room deals for emotion-building montages set to Bruce Springsteen songs (“Hungry Heart,” “Brilliant Disguise,” “Secret Garden”). The cast also includes Alfred Molina, giving an amusing caricature of a machine politician, and a number of actors who do good work as various cogs in the political and legal apparatus: Bob Balaban as the judge, Terry Kinney as the head of the Yonkers housing authority, Clarke Peters as a smooth-talking consultant and, especially, Catherine Keener as an anti-integration protester.

Question: What medal did the American team win in 2000?

Heinrichs is trying to keep the Americans at the forefront at a time when a number of European girls are playing primarily against boys to develop their technical skills and are turning professional as young as 14. One solution, Heinrichs believes, is to accelerate the development of female players in the United States by having them play up in age as they advance through the club and national-team systems and by having them play more often against boys, who tend to be faster and stronger. “When people say the gap is closing, I would say the gap has closed and we’re falling behind in these areas,” Heinrichs, 51, said of the disparity between the United States and other countries. Perhaps no one can match her breadth of experience in American women’s soccer. Heinrichs won three N.C.A.A. championships while playing at North Carolina. She served as captain of the United States team that won the inaugural Women’s World Cup, in 1991. And she coached the American team to a gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, a silver at the 2000 Sydney Games and third place at the 2003 World Cup.

Question: China wants to introduce desposit insurance since what year?

They will also have to compete for customer deposits by paying higher interest rates to savers. China’s leaders hope that consumers, with extra money in their accounts, will increase their spending; Beijing sees consumer demand as a main driver of the country’s future economic growth. The challenges are significant, for banks and the economy. China has been considering more liberal interest rates since the mid-1980s, and the introduction of deposit insurance since at least 1993. Policy makers have hesitated in part because similar financial reforms have set off crises in other markets.

Question: What is a big part of why policy makers use the tools at their disposal?

Yet the assumption of unchanged G.D.P. also has one notable drawback: It is patently false. Much economic theory and empirical research confirm that fiscal policy influences the course of the economy. Indeed, having an economic impact is a big part of why policy makers use the tools at their disposal, whether it is the tax cuts of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush or the stimulus package of Mr. Obama. It seems somehow churlish for Congress’s economists to assume that a policy change won’t accomplish its goal simply to make their jobs easier. Moreover, static scoring biases the analysis of proposed policy changes. If a tax cut promotes growth, for example, it will lose less revenue than an estimate based on unchanged G.D.P. suggests. For most cases, this effect is not large enough to make tax cuts pay for themselves, but it often makes tax cuts less costly than they first appear.

Question: Which particular part was defective in the General Motors made vehicles?

Re “Falling Through the Legal Cracks” (Business Day, Dec. 30): The failure of General Motors to take appropriate actions when it learned that a defective ignition switch in vehicles it sold caused the injuries and deaths of innocent people speaks volumes about corporate morality and accountability. That is why plaintiffs must be able to sue without caps. The history of corporations’ failure to protect the public is replete with such stories, from flammable pajamas to the lack of safety guards on dangerous machinery. Without the threat of recovery from lawsuits brought by plaintiffs and the potential for punitive damages, corporations have shown that they will not do what is morally required, but merely weigh the costs against the risks and take steps to discourage those who have suffered personal injuries and/or deaths of loved ones from suing.

Question: How old was Tariq during the depicted events?

The State Department had called for a quick and credible inquiry after footage of the beating spread worldwide. Tariq, who was 15 at the time, was spending the summer with relatives in East Jerusalem when violence broke out over the gruesome killing of his cousin Muhammad Abu Khdeir, 16, by Jewish extremists who said they wanted to avenge the kidnapping and killing of three Israeli youths by Palestinian militants in the West Bank. The Israeli authorities said that Tariq was masked and holding a wooden slingshot when the officer chased him. Tariq, who said he had only been watching the clashes, was taken to a hospital and returned to the United States about two weeks later.

The ties that bound Mr. Ghani to many of the dinner guests on Tuesday reflected a little-noticed story in America’s longest war: After more than 13 years of nation-building in Afghanistan, much of the American national security establishment is intimately familiar with many of the nation’s most senior officials, Mr. Ghani foremost among them, and loath to see a hasty withdrawal lead to a repeat of what has happened in Iraq.

Question: How was Frank's diary written?

But everything they say is drawn from works produced two decades apart: “The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition,” the unexpurgated version of Frank’s Holocaust journal, and “Letter From a Birmingham Jail,” a rebuke to Southern white clergymen that Dr. King wrote while imprisoned for civil disobedience in Alabama in 1963. “I tried to match passages,” Ms. Vaughn said. She added that when reading Frank’s diary, which is in epistolary form, she would think, “What does she say that might spark a response from him?”

Question: what does the constitution not shield from in this case?

Judge Walls rejected each of those arguments. He said there was no indication that the grand jury had been handled improperly, and concluded that political contributions can be considered “things of value to influence official acts.” “The Constitution does not protect an attempt to influence a public official’s acts through improper means, such as the bribery scheme that has been alleged in this case,” he wrote in his decision. Mr. Menendez, a Democrat, was indicted in April on charges that he accepted personal gifts, including private plane trips and luxury accommodations in the Dominican Republic, from Dr. Melgen, and lobbied in return for Dr. Melgen’s interests in Washington. A wealthy Florida eye surgeon, Dr. Melgen was a major contributor to Mr. Menendez’s political campaigns, and to a “super PAC” supporting his last re-election bid in 2012.

Question: What company is testing saliva samples for the new sking care regimen?

LONDON — What’s being billed as the future of skin care starts suspiciously like a visit to the dentist: with a mouthwash gargle. That’s to eliminate debris that may interfere with a good saliva sample, from which DNA will be extracted and serums tailored to one’s genetic blueprint. The test is from a company called GeneU (pronounced “gene you”) and performed at its nine-month-old shop on New Bond Street, which looks like a cross between a science fiction movie set and a silver-gray-and-red-dipped Apple store — perhaps fittingly, because the DNA test is done by a flash-drive-size microchip. It’s administered by one of a handful of improbably dewy-skinned beauties who also happen to have Ph.D.s. Unlike other DNA tests, which are sent to labs and take at least two weeks to complete, GeneU’s in-store test is done in 30 minutes. Currently, it looks only at variations in two genes: one that contains instructions for how fast your body degrades collagen and the other for antioxidant protection.

Question: How fast was  Levegh driving when the crash occurred?

This took Macklin by surprise. He braked with his own less powerful drum brakes and swerved to the left to avoid the rapidly decelerating Jaguar. Meanwhile, Fangio, who was in second position, about 200 meters behind Hawthorn, was coming up to pass the Mercedes of Levegh. Levegh, though, was surprised by Macklin’s Austin-Healey swerving across the track. He could not slow in time. So while racing at 240 kilometers an hour, with Fangio right behind him, Levegh’s Mercedes made contact with the left rear of Macklin’s car and was catapulted into the air. It crashed on the embankment on the spectator side of the track and exploded in a ball of flames from the fuel. Levegh, 49, was thrown from the car and killed instantly. His car broke into several pieces. Both the engine and the rear hood, with the air brake, were ripped out of the car and plowed a furrow through the crowd. Worse, the hood spun around like a disc through the packed group of spectators, decapitating dozens of people. Many other spectators were killed by the explosion. The initial flames caused by the burning fuel raised the heat level of the chassis, causing the magnesium to explode in white-hot flames, sending embers into the crowd.

Question: What are the hills of Yorkshire covered with?

The long hike across the West Yorkshire moors passed over hills peppered with scrubby grass, through fields of heather and over jagged rocks and gurgling streams. Along the way I’d been severely scolded by more than one chattering red grouse, and ignored by innumerable flocks of grazing sheep. Eventually I’d made it all the way to Top Withens, a ruined farmhouse whose setting was said to have been the inspiration for Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights.” Sunburned and tired after the long walk, I needed refreshment.

Question: How long did it take to raise the donations?

“Help us raise back the $100,000 a donor asked us to return because we welcome transgender girls,” read the headline on the page, which included a video about the Girl Scouts’ commitment to inclusivity. In a little over five hours, Ms. Ferland says, the site had already received over $100,000 in donations. By the end of that first day, the number was up to $243,958 from 4,760 donors. By the time the fund-raising effort was concluded a month later, the organization had raised $365,573. It was a victory for the Girl Scouts and a lesson for the philanthropic community. “The lesson for the fund-raising community is that if you’re interested in accessing the L.G.B.T. market, your values have to be those of inclusiveness,” says Mickey MacIntyre of realChange Partners, a consultant for nonprofits, focusing on L.G.B.T. issues.

Question: Who did critics think "Star Wars" was the seminal works of?

The gadgetry “I have a particular fondness for the look of the interior of a gigantic satellite called the Death Star, a place full of the kind of waste space one finds today only in old Fifth Avenue mansions and public libraries.” A week later, Mr. Canby took to his Sunday column to defend against a charge by some critics that movies like “Star Wars,” a “gigantic comic strip of a sci-fi movie,” were “the seminal works of a new age of Non-Think, an anti-intellectual reaction to the plays and films that go out of their way to insult, shock, provoke and disturb, that question everything, including the system that allows the artist to express his outrage.”

Question: What did the robbers need to steal money?

The judge’s ruling came after lengthy hearings, starting in February, during which Mr. Hincapie testified that a detective had beaten a confession out of him and a previously unknown witness, Mariluz Santana, came forward to swear she had not seen Mr. Hincapie on the subway platform when the murder happened. Mr. Watkins, a tourist from Utah visiting New York for the United States Open, was stabbed in the chest on Sept. 3, 1990, in a struggle with at least six young men who had tried to rob his family inside the Seventh Avenue subway station at 53rd Street. Some of the men later said they needed money to go dancing at the Roseland Ballroom. Mr. Hincapie, now 43, was arrested the next day and confessed to taking part. He was one of seven young men convicted of felony murder at two separate trials. Under state law, everyone who takes part in a mugging can be held responsible for murder if a victim dies.

Question: Which country has a lack of bishops?

Replacing the cardinal will be one of Francis’ most complicated and important tasks. He will travel throughout the island, meeting different bishops and church figures. It should allow him to make a personal evaluation of the next potential leader of the Cuban church, though analysts do not expect a decision soon. “There are not a lot of bishops in Cuba,” said Gianni La Bella, an expert in Latin American Catholicism and a member of the Community of Sant’Egidio, a liberal Catholic group active in international affairs. “It is not easy to choose the right man for the place.”
