Question: Where was the wine made?

On a balmy September evening, the place was marked by the hushed whispers of diners trying to figure out their first dish, ourselves included. After a cursory, but necessary, explanation from one of the chefs, we all tucked into fresh tortellini stuffed with eggplant and pickled onion in an Iranian lemon bouillon with chunks of orange-hued Mimolette cheese. This was followed by a flavorful herb-marinated beef carpaccio sprinkled with crushed peanuts, pickled cucumber and veils of radishes, then a buttery-smooth monkfish tail with maki rice chips and ginger-sautéed broccoli purée. Sesame ice cream crowned with crumbled hazelnuts and fresh figs ended the meal. Going against the local grain, the wine offering is a careful edit of foreign producers. “The idea behind the wine was like our cooking: Make it as international as possible,” Mr. Lahaut said.

Question: Who was Hirosi Saito planning to meet with?

Answer: the United States secretary of state

<hl> The Japanese ambassador, Hirosi Saito, who was planning to meet with the United States secretary of state “to take whatever action was possible to remedy the situation,” went on to explain that “while he fully comprehended that in this country, where caricatures of the highest public officials are every day fare in the press, no slight to the person of the Emperor was necessarily intended, yet in Japan a representation of the Emperor as engaged in the menial task of pulling a cart could not be understood or taken lightly.” <hl>

Question: Who is president of the museum's board?

The museum will open early, at 9:30, with a daylong pi scavenger hunt. (It closes at 5 p.m.) “The idea is to find places where aspects of pi come up in the exhibits,” said Glen Whitney, co-founder of the museum and president of its board. Children can also do pi puzzles there and play a circular version of tick-tack-toe involving four concentric loops divided into wedges. Visitors can explore pi further by filling the spaces on a circular grid with candy, and feeding a chosen set of digits (a birthday, a phone number) into a computer and learning where that sequence appears in pi.

Question: How many opponents did Mr. Corbyn defeat on Saturday?

His success underlines the extent to which European political structures have been destabilized by the aftershocks of the financial crisis in 2008, with voters increasingly attracted away from the political center ground, either to the socialist left or the nationalist right. However, Mr. Corbyn’s program, which includes nationalizing energy and rail companies, has shallow support among fellow Labour lawmakers, a fact that suggests he may struggle to unite his party. Several senior party figures, including Emma Reynolds and Tristram Hunt, have already announced that they will not be serving on Mr. Corbyn’s team, though another, Hilary Benn, promised to support him. On Saturday there were jubilant scenes after the release of results showing that Mr. Corbyn had won almost 60 percent of the vote, crushing his three opponents, Yvette Cooper, Andy Burnham and Liz Kendall. “We don’t have to be unequal, it doesn’t have to be unfair, poverty isn’t inevitable,” Mr. Corbyn told a cheering audience in a short acceptance speech.

Question: What does the band used to do to Mr. Bridges?

They also played in his band here: In White Denim, they’re not especially restrained, but here, they played with a light touch. Maybe that’s out of deference to the style, or maybe it’s because Mr. Bridges isn’t yet a fully realized stage performer: He looked reluctant at times, and often the band was clobbering him as he was attempting subtlety. In between songs, he mumbled words quickly and unintelligibly. Playing the part is not enough. That mode gives him a framework, historical and structural. It takes the pressure off. It also advertises him without his having to so much as open his mouth.

Question: Why does the older generation feel that 1912 was important?

Mr. Huang was inspired to build the museum after seeing the impressive Kuomintang history museum in Santikhiri, in Chiang Rai Province, the country’s most prominent Kuomintang village. “We can’t forget the history,” he said. “We can’t throw our forebears away. Regardless of what happens with China and Taiwan in the future, we are all Chinese people. We can’t forget our Chinese roots.” It is a sentiment shared by much of the older generation in Ban Rak Thai, who still speak of the past in terms of the traditional minguo calendar, which takes 1912 — the year the Republic of China was founded — as year one.

Question: Who's childhood villages became fodder for one of his most famous works?

But Khrushchev’s agricultural and industrial policies were also a death knell for traditional village life. The fate of Mr. Rasputin’s childhood villages became fodder for one of his most famous works, the 1976 novel “Farewell to Matyora.” The novel is about an island village on the Angara River that is about to be subsumed in the 1960s by construction of the Bratsk hydroelectric plant, and the elderly residents who try to resist resettlement and cannot adapt to city life. After a vivid description of the beginning of spring in the opening chapter, Mr. Rasputin — an ardent environmentalist who fought to protect Lake Baikal, the world’s largest freshwater lake — continues, “Everything was in place, but everything was wrong.”

Question: what was he said?

But he did have something to say, and he said it powerfully through his music. In East Berlin he played a song entitled “(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue?” According to Ricky Riccardi, one of Armstrong’s biographers, the song had not been in his repertoire for a decade or more. But he played it on every stop during his Iron Curtain tour. He also played it slower than he ever had, so that it became a mournful lament. “My only sin is in my skin,” he sings. “What did I do to be so black and blue?”

Question: Who did Mcllrath fight?

For the second straight afternoon, McIlrath got into a fight that he won decisively, knocking off Schenn’s helmet and pounding him with uppercuts. The fight stirred the Madison Square Garden crowd and might have launched the Rangers to a victory. But they suddenly have other problems. After the fight, which unfolded 11 minutes into the game, the Rangers were outshot, 31-21, and the Flyers, who remain the league’s lowest-scoring team, rolled to a 3-0 victory. The Rangers (16-6-2) have lost three games in a row in regulation for the first time this season.

Question: What type of style did Mr. Fernandez dream of bringing back?

“They all come to the salon before going out,” Mr. Fernandéz said of his nearly 20 clients a night. His own balding hair closely cropped, Mr. Fernandéz said he started in a state-run barbershop but had creative differences with his partners. “Back then there was no styling and they wouldn’t even wash hair,” he remembered. “I wanted to be different.” His dream is to start a chain and help bring Cuban men’s style back to the glory days. “It’s like the ’50s in Havana,” Pavel Premdes, 26, said as he had his hair touched upward in a “Grease”-like wave. “Dorian is bringing it back.” As another client showed off a cellphone picture of his girlfriend in librarian glasses straddling a pool table, an assistant to Mr. Fernandéz stood under an elevated glass chamber that looks like the cockpit of a helicopter that had crashed into the salon. It is used for hair straightening.

Question: Who is Don Cameron?

For Don Cameron, a farmer south of Fresno, a wet winter 33 years ago led to an idea about how to take advantage of the vast natural water storage system underground. He noticed that some grapevines along the San Joaquin River were flooded for months in the winter, but that those same vines produced a lush crop of grapes in the summer. He had to wait until 2011, the last wet year before the current drought, to act on his idea. With a small government grant and help from scientists and an environmental group, Mr. Cameron diverted water to a thousand acres of the farm he manages, Terranova Ranch, deliberately flooding fields of grapes, pistachio trees and hay.

Question: The cost of what is being questioned?

The potential cost was enough to raise questions from Assemblywoman Deborah J. Glick, the chairwoman of the Higher Education Committee, whose district includes Greenwich Village. “I don’t think it’s atypical at any university that there are changes to the president’s residence,” Ms. Glick, a Democrat, said. “The question is, how much did it cost and was that unseemly? Certainly to the average person, and perhaps to the people who are paying their kids’ tuition, which is already pretty eye-popping, that would seem like a high figure.”

Question: Who wanted to impeach Ms. Konstantopoulou?

Some analysts said that Ms. Konstantopoulou, a stickler for rules, could prevent him from using the fast-track procedures that would be necessary to get the job done in time to satisfy European leaders. Portions of the plan must be passed by Wednesday, and more a week from Wednesday. Among the elements that must be dealt with this week are increases in the value added tax, including the end of a special tax status for the Greek islands; a makeover of the pension system; and the imposition of automatic spending cuts if the government misses budget targets. Ms. Konstantopoulou issued a statement saying she had no intention of resigning, even as Mr. Tsipras’s allies talked of impeaching her.

Question: In what year did Mr. Romney receive support from evangelicals?

Bob Vander Plaats, the president and chief executive of the Family Leader, a social conservative group in Iowa, said his members had not yet expressed concern about Mr. Carson’s religion. He cited the support that Mr. Romney received from evangelicals in 2012, saying he did not think the fact that Mr. Carson is a Seventh-day Adventist would be an issue unless theology became central to the political debate. “I think Trump threw out the fleece to let people check it out,” Mr. Vander Plaats said of why he thought Mr. Carson’s religion suddenly became an issue. “People of faith will be more interested in the fruit of leadership, policy and does it align with honoring God or dishonoring God.”

Question: What did Barnum call the Davis display?

Barnum called his Davis display “The Belle of Richmond.” A wax figure of a man wearing a dress similar to those seen in the sketches that had already made the story notorious, it might have enjoyed an epic run. But the fervor that made it a hit also doomed it from the start. The fire that broke out at the American Museum on July 13, 1865, was a destructive marvel. Thirty thousand people turned out to watch the conflagration, while Barnum’s menagerie spilled onto Broadway. When firemen smashed the whale tank to help extinguish the flames, Barnum’s belugas burned alive. In the midst of this mayhem, the Davis statue came tumbling down. While the crowd jeered, a bearded mannequin dressed in women’s attire was hurled into the street, its skirt acting briefly as a parachute. “As Jeff made his perilous descent,” The New York Times reported, “his petticoats again played him false, and as the wind blew them about, the imposture of the figure was exposed.” Landing to “cheers and uncontrollable laughter,” the statue was then promptly hanged, just as the song suggested. The cause of the fire remained a mystery, but many assumed arson. “It is suspected,” The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported, “the guilty parties were rebel sympathizers offended by the prominence Barnum has given to the manner of Jeff Davis’ capture.” A Confederate partisan who witnessed the blaze wrote that the banners painted with Davis’s image “gave the flames such an impetus, that they could not be controlled.” This was only the beginning of Davis’s fraught place in the American imagination. Among Southerners, the abuse he endured — at the hands of both wags like Barnum and his jailers at Virginia’s Fort Monroe — took on a life of its own. His suffering became a passion play of the Lost Cause, the nearly religious cult of grievance that convinced subsequent generations of the Union’s intent not only to defeat the Confederacy but to emasculate it. “The North’s treatment of Jefferson Davis,” the historian Andrew F. Rolle wrote in 1965, “symbolized the humiliation being inflicted upon the South.”

Question: Was the army officer who described the Bosso attack authorized to speak publicly?

“We are in control of the situation,” said the army officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. “Anybody who entered the town, nobody came out alive,” the officer said. He would not say whether any troops or any civilians in Bosso had been killed. “People heard gunfire and went home.” Niger’s army has troops based in Bosso, at the edge of the area of recent fighting with Boko Haram. An army detachment is always posted at the river’s shallowest point, which can be easily crossed. Last week, officials in Bosso said they could hear Chadian planes bomb Boko Haram positions across the frontier. Niger’s Parliament is scheduled to vote Monday on whether the country’s troops will join those of Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad to take on the insurgents. Chad’s troops have had notable successes over the past week in confronting Boko Haram along the Cameroon border, retaking at least one Nigerian town. But the extension of the fighting to Niger is a new phase in the war on Boko Haram. Wary of being drawn into the fight, Niger’s government has been careful so far not to provoke the Islamists. Some analysts believe that the Islamists have heavily infiltrated Diffa, a regional capital in the country’s far east.

Question: Who was winning before Querrey was injured?

Question: What was McConnell's main strategic decision?

Democrats also say that Mr. McConnell benefited from the pent-up demand he helped create by bottling up so much legislation as the leader of the minority. Undaunted, he points to the list of bills and the much more frequent votes on amendments — more than 200 this year, compared with 15 in 2014 — as irrefutable evidence of his success. “I stand on the facts,” said Mr. McConnell, who said his main strategic decision was to find issues that both sides could compromise on, rather than digging in for partisan disputes where common ground could never be found.

Question: Where was Mr. Cruiz speaking in on Thursday?

“Here they’re not going to have a lot of opportunities to engage with a presidential campaign,” Jeff Roe, Mr. Cruz’s campaign manager, said as his candidate spoke in St. Paul on Thursday, before heading to the South. “When they do engage with a presidential campaign, I want it to be a meaningful engagement that lasts for hopefully their whole life and our whole life.” Here in Kennesaw, where Mr. Cruz delayed his event by several hours to travel to Washington for a vote, more than 1,000 people gathered in front of a Western-themed nightclub at a strip mall. They got on a bus, were taken to the airplane hangar and waited in an unseasonable chill to cheer the senator when he arrived with his family by chartered plane.

Question: Who's surname was misspelled?

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: Which division fled west, instead?

BAN RAK THAI, Thailand —  At night, traditional Chinese red lanterns illuminate the hotels, shop fronts and Yunnanese-style restaurants lining the main road in this highland village of just over 1,000 people. On one recent evening, as the mist rose off a nearby reservoir, the mellifluous voice of the popular Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng could be heard wafting out from one of the village’s several tea shops. But this sleepy Chinese village is nestled in the lush backcountry of northwestern Thailand, one of several dozen such outposts, a quirk of the region’s tumultuous human and political history. “I may have a Thai ID, but I’m Chinese,” said Liang Zhengde, 47, a manager for his family’s fruit farms. “My family is Chinese, and no matter where we go, we’re still Chinese.” The Liangs, like some 200 other families here, are the veterans or descendants of what is known as China’s Lost Army, a unit of the Kuomintang’s Nationalist Army, which lost to the Red Army of Mao Zedong in 1949. As most Nationalist soldiers fled east to Taiwan in the face of Communist advances, the Kuomintang’s 93rd Division retreated west from the southwestern Chinese province of Yunnan into Myanmar, then known as Burma.

Question: what folk song was written by Mr. Chavez?

Mr. Chávez wove the tunes of folk songs like “La Cucaracha” through a modernist idiom in a work for solo piano, and altered a traditional song chromatically in his Sonatina for Violin and Piano. His “Cuatro Melodías Tradicionales Indias del Ecuador” was beautifully sung by the soprano Cecilia Violetta López, whose bright, expressive voice made a strong impression in several works, including de Falla’s “El Retablo de Maese Pedro.” The resetting of part of Don Quixote de la Mancha’s story concluded the final program in a charming production featuring puppets and witty visuals designed by Doug Fitch.

Question: Who is the district attorney of the Oneida County?

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 position was someone in on the Chinese daybed?

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 is put into the case and locked before the show?

Yondr, a year-old company based in San Francisco, may have a low-tech workaround: a form-fitting, tamper-proof neoprene case that patrons are handed as they enter a theater. Phones are turned off or put on vibrate, slipped into the case and locked; the patron holds the package during the show. If the audience member needs to take a call, he or she can exit the theater and have the device removed. After the show the case is returned to a hamper near the exits, like 3-D glasses at a movie theater. The comedian Hannibal Buress tried the system at a show in California in May.

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: Which day will you eat bacon fat gingersnaps?

It may be a good weekend for some French toast amandine. Or for some light, fluffy pancakes. (If you’re hosting a sleepover and want to qualify for a parental-awesomeness badge, you may turn hard toward Bobby Flay’s recipe for double-chocolate pancakes with salted caramel sauce.) It’s definitely a good weekend for baking cookies. We’re partial to Julia Moskin’s recipe for bacon fat gingersnaps on a Saturday afternoon, and to Kim Severson’s recipe for chewy chocolate snowcaps as well. And while we’ve got the scale out, we’ll make up a batch of Julia’s perfect corn muffin mix, so we can knock down some muffins for breakfast in the middle of next week. (The next day, we’ll take the leftovers and slice them in half, then toast them in butter until they’re brown and crisp. Which makes the better breakfast? You decide!)

Question: Which region had France's largest force of resistant fighters?

While the city of 25,000 may remain a symbol, it may no longer be a scapegoat. Starting this week, the government will begin releasing online 200,000 wartime collaboration records, which have been held at the Police Museum in Paris and have been off limits for 75 years. By 2019, every name in those records will be available to the public. Thierry Wirth, a Vichy historian and author, said that would provide a true picture of France’s “collective involvement.” “The Vichy regime was situated here, in the free zone, but the records clearly show that the greatest numbers of collaborationists were, in fact, in the occupied zone, including Paris,” Mr. Wirth said. “Moreover, the region in which we are situated, the Auvergne, had France’s largest force of Resistance fighters, ‘Maquis du Mont Mouchet.’”

Question: What does the cities feel a need for?

Three states — California, New Jersey and Rhode Island — offer paid family leave, and several cities, including Boston and Seattle this year, have begun offering parental leave to city employees. “We always knew that we need national standards, but historically in our country, workplace changes happen first at the state or local level,” said Ellen Bravo, executive director of Family Values @ Work, a network of groups pushing for paid leave.

Question: What city is Gibney Dance located in?

Luciana Achugar (through Dec. 19) Last year Ms. Achugar presented “Otro Teatro” at New York Live Arts, exploring what it would mean to “grow ourselves a new body.” Since that ecstatic, anarchic ritual of a performance, she has continued the investigation of pleasure, desire and dance as an agent for change. The next and perhaps final phase is “An Epilogue for Otro Teatro: True Love,” which takes over a studio at Gibney Dance’s downtown location for three hours at a time. Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Gibney Dance: Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center, 280 Broadway, near Chambers Street, Lower Manhattan, 646-837-6809, gibneydance.org. (Siobhan Burke)

Question: What did his friends give him?

As he walked by their cells, this time as a prisoner, they shook the bars and menacingly called out his name. Men came to his cell to make death threats. “I started to live in hell,” said Mr. Silva Neto, 48. Friends gave him a knife and a revolver, which he hid in his bed. He said he witnessed a murder inside the compound. Another time, when he got up in the night to use the bathroom, he came upon a man being sexually assaulted by four others. In Paraíba, a poor state in the country’s northeast, inmate killings, including by decapitation, and prison rebellions are commonplace. Those scenes of chaos have become normalized across Brazil, as the country’s prisons have swelled over the past two decades and its incarcerated population surpassed half a million.

Question: What does meditation cultivate?

Change “is” to “could be,” and you become more mindful. The same is true when you look for an answer rather than the answer. Meditation isn’t snake oil. For some people, meditation might be the most efficient way to reduce stress and cultivate mindfulness. But it isn’t a panacea. If you don’t meditate, there’s no need to stress out about it. In fact, in some situations, meditation may be harmful: Willoughby Britton, a Brown University Medical School professor, has discovered numerous cases of traumatic meditation experiences that intensify anxiety, reduce focus and drive, and leave people feeling incapacitated. Evangelists, it’s time to stop judging. The next time you meet people who choose not to meditate, take a deep breath and let us relax in peace.

Question: What is a central promise of the internet that is being broken by users disconnecting themselves from others with different views?

With the presidential race heating up, a torrent of politically charged commentary has flooded Facebook, the world’s largest social networking site, with some users deploying their “unfollow” buttons like a television remote to silence distasteful political views. Coupled with the algorithm now powering Facebook’s news feed, the unfollowing is creating a more homogenized political experience of like-minded users, resulting in the kind of polarization more often associated with MSNBC or Fox News. And it may ultimately deflate a central promise of the Internet: Instead of offering people a diverse marketplace of challenging ideas, the web is becoming just another self-perpetuating echo chamber.

Question: What type of performer is considered Mr. Bridges to be?

They also played in his band here: In White Denim, they’re not especially restrained, but here, they played with a light touch. Maybe that’s out of deference to the style, or maybe it’s because Mr. Bridges isn’t yet a fully realized stage performer: He looked reluctant at times, and often the band was clobbering him as he was attempting subtlety. In between songs, he mumbled words quickly and unintelligibly. Playing the part is not enough. That mode gives him a framework, historical and structural. It takes the pressure off. It also advertises him without his having to so much as open his mouth.

Question: What did Rep. Ryan say is one of the conditions for taking on the House speaker role?

WASHINGTON — Last week, as members of Congress did the things they do during recess — drink merlot at fund-raisers, zip to fact-finding missions abroad, meet with local chambers of commerce — Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin and two of his three children strung Halloween decorations across their Janesville lawn. In his lengthy enumeration of conditions for taking on the role of House speaker, Mr. Ryan made it clear to his Republican colleagues Tuesday night that one was sacrosanct: “I cannot and will not give up my family time.”

Question: What movie is this song associated with?

Most Likely Thing That Could Come of This ShowThe Chanels were sentenced not to prison but to the Palmer Asylum for the Insane.
